DottaandPaperclip 612d9931a6 Support per-turn Runner sessions on ephemeral web servers (#18932)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The web server controls native Runner sessions in remote sandboxes.
> - An ephemeral web server must recover without its previous local
filesystem.
> - The existing admission rule accepts warm sessions. Managed Claude,
Grok, and OpenCode sessions resolve to per-turn execution.
> - Per-turn execution also needs durable provider-session bytes after
the sandbox is retired.
> - This pull request adds encrypted backup publication and removes the
warm-only admission rule.
> - Both lifecycle modes can use the existing native ownership and
checkpoint contracts during a web deployment.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #18518, #18529, #18826, #18835, #18841, #18864, #18887.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Native Runner execution on web servers with
`PAPERCLIP_EPHEMERAL_SERVER=true`.

**Current behavior**

The admission rule requires a warm Runner lifecycle. Managed provider
credentials can resolve an agent to per-turn execution, so enabling the
ephemeral deployment profile blocks those turns. A database controller
checkpoint does not preserve provider files after the old web home and
per-turn sandbox are removed.

**Proposed behavior**

Admit native execution in either resolved lifecycle. Keep provider and
credential choices unchanged. Publish encrypted provider state to shared
storage before sandbox cleanup. Restore it from a fresh web home for the
next turn. Use the existing controller lease and generation checks for
active takeover.

**Reason and benefit**

Operators can remove the web server volume without excluding per-turn
providers or forcing managed accounts into warm sessions. New native
Daytona profiles automatically enter both rolling-deployment
qualification lanes.

**Breaking changes**

The additive migration creates a backup publication ledger. Existing
volume-backed local-disk installations retain their local backup path.
S3 installations publish encrypted backups and require a stable secrets
master key. Existing-volume enrollment must import surviving session
data before detaching the volume.

## What Changed

- Admit native Runner execution independently of its warm or per-turn
lifecycle. Keep host-owned legacy execution excluded from ephemeral
deployments.
- Store private provider state as encrypted objects. Journal uploads
before I/O, read them back, and fence publication against the current
native owner. Keep the previous published backup when storage or
ownership checks fail.
- Restore exact provider bytes into a private cache. Require an exact
durable backup before sandbox cleanup. Extend the existing bounded
retention pass to retire stored objects without adding idle polling.
- Import selected legacy controller and provider state in the existing
offline maintenance process. Preserve queued work, task pointers,
pending recovery, and original files. Prefer canonical database
checkpoints.
- Preserve already-failed legacy controllers with missing original
artifact proof as encrypted archives. These archives do not become
execution authority. Successful retained sessions still require proof.
Report archival and executable imports separately.
- Verify unmanaged Grok API keys through the existing xAI account
validator. The live test exposed a readiness gap that kept remote Grok
agents paused after platform checks. Preserve failed credentials and the
separate runtime warning.
- Ingest Grok whole-prompt usage at the owning ACP boundary. Bind the
receipt to the exact outbound request/session; reject replay, conflicts,
and incomplete authority. Separate turn cost from cumulative session
cost in the sidecar schema and Rust normalization. Preserve managed
billing identity and identify direct xAI API credentials.
- Preserve published workspace directory names across cold allocations,
including destroyed-allocation cleanup. Keep unpublished epoch/lease
directories isolated and refuse to overwrite an occupied preparation.
This fixes the cold-session identity regression exposed by #18922.
- Increase bounded checkpoint-header inspection to 1 MiB. Retain the
aggregate inspection limit.
- Register all nine native Daytona profiles in per-turn and warm
rolling-deployment suites. Delete the entire departing server home,
exercise ordinary reads and writes, require active ownership transfer,
then check a later turn on another fresh server. Permit only exact
notification replay after reconnect.

Ownership stays with the existing modules: Runner validates its protocol
state; Core validates run scope and controller ownership; storage owns
object I/O; the maintenance process owns offline conversion; the E2E
wrapper owns process replacement and probes. No provider protocol is
added to the shared admission rule. Grok receipt parsing stays in its
provider module. The shared sidecar gains an explicit cost basis because
its existing price field means session-cumulative spend, while Grok
reports prompt totals. Existing consumers retain cumulative behavior
when the new field is absent.

## Verification

- Focused native admission, archive validation, publication fencing,
cleanup, readiness, legacy import, and E2E observer tests pass. Real
PostgreSQL cases verify that queued intent and historical recovery rows
stay unchanged.
- Full typecheck and build pass on the rebased branch. The review
follow-up passes server typecheck, 29 focused
PostgreSQL/archive/readiness tests, and module-boundary checks. Revision
fb8d39a7a1 reached 55 successful CI checks and Greptile 5/5 with no
unresolved threads. The Grok follow-up passes Runner/server typechecks,
238 ACP runtime/projection/usage tests, 16 sidecar-schema tests, the
Rust cost regression, and Core billing regression. The e9aae9cf revision
passed all 57 successful checks, with 5 skips and 2 neutral checks, and
exact-head Greptile 5/5. The latest 9cbec30a4f follow-up changes only
E2E catalog/admission controls; its 291 affected tests pass, all 57
check contexts succeeded (5 skips, 2 neutral), and exact-head Greptile
is 5/5 with no open review threads.
- Migration numbering and safety checks pass.
- A local real PostgreSQL/S3 roundtrip preserved 2,870,101,591 payload
bytes across 89,100 archive entries after deleting the source directory.
Restored SHA-256 matched; upload/readback took 56.5 seconds, restore
74.8 seconds, process peak RSS was 1.40 GB, and all fixture resources
were removed.
- Archives preserve contained relative links, reject link
chains/traversal, and enforce independent byte/entry/object limits.
Offline verification streams hashes. Orphaned deleted-run backups stay
on the original volume. Obsolete object retention preserves the selected
backup, live lease references, and pending uploads with owners.
- Isolated API-key Codex deployment: original active runner/session
transferred to the replacement and committed. All 567 reads, 57 writes,
and 57 readbacks succeeded. A second replacement completed a
same-session continuation with all 287 reads and 29 writes succeeding.
The strict cell failed two agent-authored shell commands; this result is
retained as failed.
- Isolated API-key Claude deployment: original active runner/session
transferred and committed. All 584 reads, 59 writes, and 59 readbacks
succeeded. A second replacement completed a same-provider-session
continuation, with 211 reads and 22 writes succeeding. The strict cell
failed an initial completion call that omitted a registered attachment
citation; the agent corrected it. This result is retained as failed.
- Isolated API-key OpenCode deployment: the same active runner/session
transferred and committed. All 481 reads, 49 writes, and 49 readbacks
succeeded. A second replacement retained the provider session and
completed useful work, with 156 reads and 16 writes succeeding. The
strict cell failed agent tool calls: a denied external-directory write,
malformed artifact hashes, and a second completion after the first
result was committed. There was one submitted/completed turn and one
committed result; reconnect notification replay was identical. This
result is retained as failed.
- Grok's real first turn now completes with settled usage and provider
cost ($0.41397); the next turn is admitted normally. That attempt then
exposed a shared workspace-path identity regression before deployment.
Three cold-restore cases reproduced it before the fix; 106
workspace/transport tests and four focused cold-restore cases pass
afterward, including destroyed allocation and occupied-directory
preservation. Server typecheck and build pass. At b5b0dbb03f both
controller switches passed the read/write probe without failure, and the
active runner retained its process while the controller generation
advanced. The third turn exposed an invalid reasoning-token subset
check; ad07e681ba fixes it with the actual receipt regression. Two later
live attempts failed with an upstream Grok rate limit before deployment.
A tiny preflight prompt succeeded before the second attempt, but the
full workload was still rate-limited. The final live gate remains
incomplete. No accounting or identity guard was bypassed. Earlier failed
attempts and their exact resource-cleanup receipts remain recorded.
- Earlier Codex/Claude/OpenCode receipts predate #18922; they establish
their tested revisions. Current-head live qualification remains pending;
#18943 separately preserves pre-enrollment logical/provider workspace
addresses and adds actual legacy migration proof. Its first Codex
migration attempt stopped safely at skill-version verification.
- Earlier attempts remain recorded: missing local provider-pack setup
blocked one Claude launch, and the observer rejected identical reconnect
replay in another. Setup and the observer were corrected before the
latest run.
- Named staging enrollment has not started. Its serving revision and
post-deployment journeys remain separate delivery gates.

- Broader E2E harness validation exposed deployment-catalog and
installed-lane coverage drift; the affected 291 controls now pass.
Twelve other failures reproduce on unchanged base 1a39dea9aa. They
concern cleanup call expectations, dated operating-overhead fixtures, a
Pi profile-version expectation and workflow-security expectations. No
baseline failure is reported as passing.

## Risks

- Provider archives can contain credentials. Objects use authenticated
encryption with scoped associated data and a wrapped data key. The
original stable master key remains required.
- Storage failure prevents publication and sandbox cleanup. Operators
must keep shared storage available and preserve the previous volume
during enrollment.
- Legacy state without verified identity cannot become executable
recovery authority. Archival preserves evidence and existing failures;
it does not recover already-lost provider files or clear blocked tasks.
- Local overlap probes establish the tested application behavior. They
do not establish Railway routing behavior or live managed-subscription
qualification.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, tool use, code execution,
and live integration tests. The exact runtime variant and context-window
size are not exposed in this session.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 1a39dea9aa fix(heartbeat): keep a routine claim queued while its slot is held (#18933)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A routine creates one task per tick. Only one open task of a routine
can hold an execution lock (`issues_open_routine_execution_uq`).
> - Since #18879, a failed native run that waits for a scheduled resume
keeps its task's lock. Routine dispatch counts only queued, running or
scheduled runs as live, so it can queue a newer task of the same routine
meanwhile.
> - When that newer run is claimed, stamping its execution lock violates
the unique index. The raw database error is not a deferrable claim
rejection, so it escapes the queue loop. The queue code notes that this
can stop the agent's queue and startup recovery.
> - This pull request turns that exact violation into a 409 claim
rejection, so the run stays queued until the slot is free.
> - The benefit is that a busy routine slot delays one run instead of
stopping the queue or startup.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18879 (keeps a failed run's lock while its resume is pending),
#18916 (defers the same unique-index conflict in restart recovery's lock
reclaim) and #18931 (open; keeps one run's restart-recovery failure from
stopping startup recovery). This is the same index conflict on a
different path: the heartbeat queue claim, not restart recovery. It does
not change #18916 or #18931. Its doc paragraph is separate from the one
#18931 edits.

**What happened?**

While auditing the lock paths from #18879 for this index, I found that a
queued run of a newer routine task can be claimed while an older task of
the same routine still holds the slot through a failed run with a
pending resume. The claim's lock stamp then raises `duplicate key value
violates unique constraint "issues_open_routine_execution_uq"`.
`isDeferrableClaimRejection` accepts only `HttpError` 4xx, so the error
escapes `startNextQueuedRunForAgent`.

**Expected behavior**

The claim is rejected as a conflict and rolls back. The run stays queued
and is claimed after the older task releases the slot. Other errors
behave as before.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create two open tasks of the same routine (same origin and
fingerprint).
2. Give the older task an execution lock held by a failed run.
3. Queue a run for the newer task and claim it. On `master` the claim
throws the unique violation.

The new queue test runs these steps against PostgreSQL.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `0dedbf23c35`.

**Deployment mode**

Any server with routines whose tasks run on native runners.

## What Changed

- `bindClaimedIssueExecution` in
`server/src/services/heartbeat/queue.ts`: if stamping the execution lock
violates `issues_open_routine_execution_uq`, it throws
`conflict("Another execution for this routine is already in progress")`.
The claim transaction rolls back, and the queue loop keeps the run
queued as it does for other 4xx claim rejections. Every other error is
rethrown unchanged. The issue checkout route already maps this violation
to the same 409.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: one paragraph on the behavior.

## Verification

- Failing first: `queue.test.ts` "keeps a claim queued while another
task of its routine holds the execution slot". On `master` the claim
raised the `issues_open_routine_execution_uq` violation. Now it rejects
with 409, the run stays `queued`, neither task's lock changes, and
nothing executes.
- Failing first, review round 1:
`heartbeat-queued-run-claim-isolation.test.ts` "keeps a routine run
queued while another task holds the routine slot, then runs it once the
slot is free" goes through `resumeQueuedRuns`. On `master` it rejected
with the unique violation. Now the routine run stays queued with no
error code while another queued run for the same agent executes. After
the slot is released, the routine run executes exactly once (executions
are counted per run, because the finished task can queue its own
follow-up run).
- `cd server && npx vitest run src/services/heartbeat/queue.test.ts
src/__tests__/heartbeat-queued-run-claim-isolation.test.ts`: 70 passed.
- `npx vitest run src/services/heartbeat/recovery.test.ts
src/__tests__/routines*.test.ts`: 4 files, 205 passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`: pass.
- Not verified: the queue loop end to end on a real instance. The loop's
handling of a 4xx claim rejection is existing behavior.

## Risks

- While the older task holds the slot, the newer run stays queued and
the loop logs "queued heartbeat run claim was rejected" on each pass. It
is claimed once the older task's resume finishes or its lock is
released.
- Only this one constraint is mapped. Other database errors still escape
as before.
- No schema migration.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) through Claude Code, with tool use
(shell, file edits, test runs). The runtime does not expose the context
window or reasoning configuration.

DottaandPaperclip 652cd76026 fix(ui): expose Stop for failed native retries (#18899)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents and their tasks.
> - A native run can fail while it still owns a same-run retry.
> - The server supports Stop for that pending execution.
> - Run details show Cancel only for queued or running records.
> - A failed pending retry therefore has no ordinary cleanup control.
> - This pull request exposes the existing Stop eligibility and uses the
existing cancellation endpoint.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #14743 and #14733 for correlated native Stop. Those changes cover
backend cancellation and protocol qualification. They do not add the
failed-run control to run details. Searches of current master and open
PRs found no matching UI repair.

**What happened?**

A native run can show failed while its coordinator still owns a
retryable failure with no accepted result. The backend can cancel that
retry. Both run-detail implementations hide the cancellation button
because the record is terminal.

**Expected behavior**

The selected run offers Stop when the server confirms that pending
native retry. Unknown, legacy, terminal and accepted-result states do
not gain this control. Existing queued and running cancellation stays
available.

**Steps to reproduce**

Render either run-detail implementation for a failed native run with an
eligible retry. The original UI has no Stop button. The original batched
execution projection has no eligibility field. The regression tests
exercise both real components and the actual PostgreSQL projection
query.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The missing control and projection field were reproduced on
44a4ca1c61. Fresh master 8fd917aedf has
identical affected production blobs before this repair.

**Deployment mode**

Board run details for a native Runner task. Local verification uses
rendered React components and PostgreSQL. No hosted task mutation or
provider retry was performed.

## What Changed

- Add optional `execution.canStop` to the existing batched projection.
Read the matching retryable coordinator and absence of an accepted
result. The cancellation endpoint remains the authority owner. Add no
database queries.
- Exclude Grok failed retries from the new hint and both consumers. The
existing Grok Stop endpoint cannot accept a failed retry before
assignment. Keep this limitation explicit and preserve its active-work
authority checks.
- Show Stop for eligible failed runs in both run-detail consumers. Keep
the existing cancellation endpoint and its company, actor and row-lock
checks.
- Use the existing request-correlation contract for failed-native Stop.
Persist one scoped identity before sending and recover it after remount
or reload. Read a matching canonical claim only for the same board
actor, company and run. Use the existing UUID fallback on ordinary HTTP.
Never retry Stop automatically. Refresh the selected run and history
after either outcome.
- Report a stale conflict or a true no-op200 response. Accept a matching
durable pending cancellation intent without requiring terminal
acknowledgement. Keep running, queued and Grok calls unchanged.
- Add actual rendered interaction tests, real batched-query controls and
a short execution contract. Keep maps unchanged for this bug fix.

## Verification

- Untouched UI and real Postgres producer reds cover missing Stop and
missing eligibility. A valid Grok review found an unsupported failed-run
action; actual broker, projection and rendered controls reproduce it
before exclusion. No backend authority was expanded.
- The original60-case focused suite passed, including26 rendered cases,
the batched producer, and actual Grok broker/assignment fences. The
related57-case scope passed before the Grok correction; it is not
presented as final-head proof.
- A fresh native4/5 review found a stale200 no-op. Both actual rendered
consumers failed that new assertion. The real authenticated
HTTP/Postgres fixture proves `canStop=true`, coordinator revocation,
uncorrelated unchanged200 with a cancellation activity, and existing
correlated409 with no new activity or run mutation.
- The correlated repair passed82 affected cases before master
reconciliation. Exact `74c60c9ffe11c05bc85f3d0fa5a136f7e9d445cd`
passed80 rendered/API, HTTP and native-correlation cases. The render
scope verifies request bodies, stable identity after an unknown outcome,
no-op200 error, pending intent acceptance, wrong-run/request denial and
existing active/Grok behavior.
- Subsequent current-head reviews found remount identity loss and
unavailable `crypto.randomUUID` on ordinary HTTP. The corrected helper
passed 52 rendered cases across both consumers, including an unknown
response, initial scoped storage persistence, a prior browser record
with a unique never-mounted run identity, exact ID reuse, canonical
claim recovery, actor switch, wrong run and HTTP UUID fallback. A real
local-board identity mismatch was reproduced with two additional reds
before using the actual server-projected actor ID.
- Real authenticated HTTP and existing native-correlation suites passed
45 cases for canonical claim recovery and actor fences. Production UI,
server and vendored Runner builds and all server/UI type layers passed
at the prior reviewed helper head; exact final
`e0f723b1c86f1529029bf141943323764de28c22` UI types, token gates and
production build passed.
- Fixture failures are retained separately: a missing local SDK build
dependency, and a missing coordinator FK teardown in the new HTTP
fixture. Neither is a behavior red. Both fixtures were corrected and the
affected tests passed.
- Previous-head3d CI required one diagnostic rerun after a Runner
shutdown and a real account-list migration assertion. Two
untouched157-test runs did not reproduce the assertion. Complete
original row equality is unavailable. The assertion remains unresolved;
no test was sorted, skipped or changed to green CI.
- Previous-headf12 CI lost eight child runners. Its one authorized
failed-job retry also lost e2e5 to an explicit shutdown. No second retry
was issued. Those failures remain recorded. Current-head CI and both
substantive reviews are required; older checks and grades are not
credited.
- Previous-head74c CI found a real monitor scheduler timeout. An
untouched local replay and diagnostic-only replay reproduced it: the
original manual-monitor run was still running at the unchanged
three-second deadline. The cause remains unresolved; temporary
diagnostics were removed, and no assertion, timeout or production
monitor policy was changed. No CI retry was issued.
- Exact local `906af5c942ee0963eb4b64552160b57a18bcd2d1` integrates
normal master after #18930 merged. All reviewed Stop production and test
blobs remain unchanged from `e0f723b1c86f1529029bf141943323764de28c22`.
The four rendered, projection, HTTP and correlation files passed 99
cases after integration. All UI/server type layers, token gates and
production UI/server/Runner builds passed at that exact head; the server
build stamp records it.
- Previous-head e0 CI reported a Discord ownership error. That original
failure is preserved. Separate #18930 proves and repairs receiver
construction/renewal races with the same error; the original CI
scheduling order remains unproved. This branch now contains that
ordinary master merge and requires fresh CI rather than rerunning the
old failed attempt.
- Full repository checks were not run locally for this narrow slice. No
hosted task, provider execution or Stop receipt was created by this
work.

## Risks

Grok failed retries remain unsupported by this UI change. The existing
Grok running and queued Stop action, revoke path and assignment fences
are unchanged. A valid initial review caught the overbroad hint; actual
broker, projection and rendered regressions reproduce it before
correction. No backend cancellation authority was widened.

The optional hint can become stale. It grants no permission. The
existing cancellation path rechecks current authority and can reject the
request. Run details show that rejection. Older servers omit the hint,
so failed runs keep their existing behavior until the server updates. No
retry, task hold, accepted-result decision or provider receipt is
changed.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol (`gpt-6.1-sol`) in Codex, with source editing,
terminal execution and tool use. The host did not report its
context-window size.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 6c7b136b16 fix(native): keep startup recovery running when one run's claim fails (#18931)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - At startup, the server runs native restart recovery before it
reports ready. Recovery claims each interrupted or retryable native run
in its own transaction.
> - On one instance, one run's claim hit the routine execution unique
index. The error escaped restart recovery, startup recovery failed
closed, health stayed "still starting", and two deploys rolled back.
> - #18916 fixed that exact conflict: it defers the run when its claim
hits `issues_open_routine_execution_uq`. Any other error in one run's
claim still aborts the whole pass, and so does a failed per-run audit
write.
> - This pull request handles every per-run claim failure the way #18916
handles the routine conflict, and keeps a failed audit write from
stopping committed claims.
> - The benefit is that one bad row cannot keep the server from becoming
ready, and no run is claimed or changed when its claim fails.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18916. This change generalizes its catch: #18916 keeps the
routine-conflict disposition (`routine_execution_busy`) exactly as it
is, and this change adds a separate reason for any other per-run
failure. It does not change how the routine conflict is detected or
deferred. Refs #18879, whose lock reclaim exposed the startup failure.
Refs #18877 (open), which edits other parts of the same files. This
change touches only the claim's error path and the audit loop, so a
second merge needs at most a small rebase.

**What happened?**

Two deploys never became healthy. About 25 seconds after the listener
bound, the boot log showed `startup native runner restart recovery
failed closed` and `startup heartbeat recovery failed`, both from a
failed `update "issues" set "execution_run_id" = ...` that violated
`issues_open_routine_execution_uq`. #18916 now defers that violation.
Any other error in one run's claim (another constraint, a trigger, a
timeout) still escapes `claimNativeRestartRecoveries` and fails startup
the same way. #18916's own test asserts this: "Other database failures
still fail the recovery pass."

**Expected behavior**

One run's recovery failure is logged and recorded on that run, and the
rest of startup recovery continues. The server becomes ready. Only a
failure of the candidate scan itself fails the pass.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a native run that is due for restart recovery, and make its
claim fail (the new test uses a trigger on `native_run_finalizations`).
2. Add a healthy run that is due for restart recovery.
3. Run restart recovery for both. On `master` the batch throws and the
healthy run is not claimed.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `4a83ba4050f`.

**Deployment mode**

Any server that runs startup native restart recovery.

## What Changed

- `claimNativeRestartRecoveries`: #18916's `.catch` on each candidate's
claim transaction no longer rethrows other errors. The whole claim has
rolled back, so the run's state is unchanged and nothing is claimed. The
run gets `awaiting_evidence` with the same 30-second retry deadline. The
reason stays `routine_execution_busy` for the routine slot conflict, and
is the new `restart_recovery_failed` for any other error, which is
logged at error level. The batch continues.
- `recoverNativeRunsAfterRestart`: records a `restart_recovery_failed`
deferral as a warning transition on the run ("Native restart recovery
failed for this run and will retry"). A failed `getRun` or transition
write is logged and no longer stops the dispatch of claims that already
committed.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: replaces "Other database failures still
fail the recovery pass" with the per-run rule.

## Verification

- Failing first: `native-restart-recovery-isolation.test.ts` (new,
PostgreSQL). It seeds the reported shape (two open tasks of one routine:
the older with a due scheduled resume and a cleared lock, the newer
holding the lock), a run whose claim fails through a trigger, and a
healthy run. On `master` the batch threw `injected recovery claim
failure`. Now the routine run is deferred with `routine_execution_busy`
and the failing run with `restart_recovery_failed`, and both keep their
coordinator, attempt and locks. The healthy run is claimed.
`recoverNativeRunsAfterRestart` completes and records an info transition
for the routine run and a warning transition for the failing run.
- Two existing tests expected the pass to reject on one run's failure:
#18916's unrelated-constraint test, and failed-workspace retention's
rollback test. They now expect the per-run deferral. Their rollback
checks (no claim, unchanged coordinator, lease, lock and recovery
actions) are unchanged, and the unrelated failure still does not become
a routine wait.
- `cd server && npx vitest run` over restart recovery (isolation,
integration, diskless, preparation), controller recovery, heartbeat
recovery, scheduled resume lock, failed-workspace recovery, startup
cleanup, native resumption, live recovery work, startup feedback export,
recovery deadlines, runtime selection, stop accounting, warm transition
restart, workspace reconstruction, remote workspace migration and
heartbeat process recovery: all pass except one.
`heartbeat-process-recovery` "redacts opaque environment-bound
credentials from Sentry diagnostics: result" fails the same way on
unmodified `master` on this host (a local environment value is
redacted).
- Review round 1: two `heartbeat/recovery.test.ts` cases make `getRun`
and then `appendRunEvent` fail for a deferred run while a committed
claim is in the same batch. Recovery completes and dispatches the claim
exactly once; the `appendRunEvent` case also checks the warning
transition. Both fail when the catches are removed. In one of four full
runs of that file, the unrelated orphan-cleanup case "reconstructs
missing native preservation during orphan cleanup without replay:
reuse_by_environment" failed; it passed alone and in the other three
full runs.
- After the rebase onto `4a83ba4050f`: the isolation and
failed-workspace recovery tests and `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server
typecheck` pass.
- Not verified: a deploy to a real instance.

## Risks

- A persistent per-run error now retries every 30 seconds and logs an
error each time, instead of stopping startup. The run stays unclaimed,
so ownership does not change.
- If the database fails for every candidate's claim, startup recovery
now completes with every run deferred, instead of failing closed. The
candidate scan still fails closed, and the deferred runs retry on their
deadlines.
- No schema migration.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) through Claude Code, with tool use
(shell, file edits, test runs). The runtime does not expose the context
window or reasoning configuration.

DottaandPaperclip 0dedbf23c3 fix(chat): retain receiver ownership during runtime construction (#18930)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents and their work.
> - Chat receivers hold a durable lease before they accept messages.
> - Runtime construction can outlast a lease renewal interval.
> - Renewal previously required an attached runtime before construction
had returned.
> - That check could revoke the same receiver that was still starting.
> - This change uses the exact pending initialization as proof during
construction.
> - The existing durable token and endpoint checks still fence every
renewal.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #18899 exposed the existing receiver failure in its chat CI
shard. This is a separate lifecycle repair. #18795 provides the relevant
production and sleep fixture context. Searches found no overlapping open
initialization repair.

**What happened?**

The receiver acquired its lease and started its renewal timer. The
service then awaited credentials, command preparation and runtime
construction before attaching the runtime to its context. A renewal
during that interval treated the missing attachment as lost ownership.
Configuration later failed with a Gateway ownership error, although its
original durable token was still current.

**Expected behavior**

The exact pending initialization can retain its own lease while
construction runs. Missing attachment alone must grant no ownership. A
changed token, paused or removed endpoint, changed generation or
credentials, and shutdown must still fence the receiver.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Use the real configure and PostgreSQL ownership producers with a
60-second lease and 50-millisecond renewal.
2. Hold the actual runtime construction call for 200 milliseconds.
3. Release construction. Untouched code returns the Gateway ownership
error.
4. With the same construction delay and a five-second renewal control,
configuration succeeds.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The causal regression fails on unchanged production source at
`e7549ab613`. The original CI error was observed in the chat shard of
#18899. That CI run did not record the precise setup and renewal order,
so this local proof does not establish its historical scheduling.

## What Changed

- Store the runtime context identity in the existing pending
initialization entry.
- Allow pre-attachment renewal only for that exact tracked
initialization and current local ownership.
- Recheck local ownership inside the existing renewal transaction.
Preserve company, endpoint, generation, credential and original-token
checks.
- Before SDK listener initialization, wait for any older renewal,
recheck local ownership, then obtain fresh durable proof. Preserve the
existing checks after initialization.
- Keep attached runtime identity checks, lease deadlines, renewal
intervals, shutdown and listener retirement unchanged.
- Add actual configure and database race controls. Document the shared
Discord and Photon receiver contract.

## Verification

- Untouched production red: the actual construction gate crosses a
renewal and returns the same Gateway ownership error. The otherwise
identical slower-renewal control passes. No lease, exception or provider
outcome is injected in these positive cases.
- A subsequent review found a second real race: final runtime removal
did not prove that SDK initialization had never started. Four actual
initialization-hook controls failed before the pre-initialize fence. The
final matrix asserts zero hook calls for lost or changed authority,
including a foreign-token control with no periodic renewal due. An
attempted cross-company endpoint move is rejected by the existing
database foreign key; the valid original initialization still succeeds.
- A third actual-producer red holds completion of a real committed
renewal, changes the durable token, and proves that joining that old
promise could incorrectly accept configuration. The corrected startup
check waits for that renewal and then obtains fresh proof; it cannot
credit the earlier result alone.
- Final relevant full Discord registration group, takeover/callback
cases, buffered host-pause recovery, failed construction,
credential-fenced pause and shared Photon consumers: 34 passed across
two files; 1,840 other cases were deselected. Four executed cases cover
Photon transport recovery, failed authentication, duplicate allocation
ownership and checkpoint fencing. The tests use the real
configure/database producers with fake provider transports and observe
SDK initialization; they do not prove physical network behavior.
- All server type layers, the module-boundary gate, and production
server/vendored Runner build pass at exact final
`38cf82ec114bd12c0aa7bbc125ed72b1ae941b4e`. The production build stamp
records this exact commit.
- Earlier fixture mistakes are preserved separately: a test initially
changed every lease key, including the credential lease, and another
attempted an invalid cross-company row move. Neither is counted as a
production behavior red. The corrected controls target the Gateway key
and assert the existing company constraint.
- An initial isolated dependency graph resolved an older shared
telemetry build. Correct workspace links restored the all-layer
typecheck without changing telemetry source.
- Full repository checks were not run locally for this narrow slice.
Fresh current-head CI and substantive reviews remain required. No hosted
task, provider work, fleet action or deployment was performed.

## Risks

The ownership helper is shared by Discord and Photon. The selected tests
cover both consumers. The pending entry grants only permission to renew
the original token; it grants no message, callback or publication
authority and adopts no listener. Missing or changed initialization
identity fails closed. There is no schema change, historical backfill,
new worker or additional idle scan.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` in Codex, with reasoning, repository inspection,
source editing, shell execution and test tools. The host did not report
the context-window size. A separate coordinator reviews the source
before delivery.

DottaandPaperclip f211d44c00 fix(heartbeat): preserve queued coalesced comments at claim (#18913)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents and their work.
> - The wake queue records task comments before an agent starts.
> - A queued run can accept another comment through coalescing.
> - Claim rebuilds that run's input from its primary wake.
> - Coalescing updated the run and its receipt but left the primary
batch unchanged.
> - This change saves the accepted batch atomically in the owning
writer.
> - The benefit is complete input at claim without repeating old work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #18887 preserves offline queued turns. #13948 addresses
equivalent automatic wake deduplication. This change repairs the
accepted comment batch at the existing claim boundary.

**What happened?**

A queued run started with comment A. Admission accepted comment B, saved
`[A, B]` in the run context, and finished B's coalesced receipt. The
primary wake still held `[A]`. Actual claim rebuilt input from that wake
and dropped B.

**Expected behavior**

Claim must retain every accepted live comment in order. Stop, changed
source authority, deleted comments, and company boundaries must still
apply. Already claimed wakes must retain their existing recovery source.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Queue a task run whose primary wake has an authoritative comment
batch `[A]`.
2. Admit comment B through `createHeartbeatQueue.enqueueWakeup` and the
real Postgres admission writer.
3. Confirm that admission accepts `[A, B]` and records B's coalesced
receipt.
4. Claim the original queued run. Before this fix, the claimed input
contains only A.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The untouched producer regression fails on
`d7283e875772ca8c684dc86e471e6b48d543b7b1` with both process and native
Runner/Codex adapter selection. Provider execution is disabled in the
fixture.

## What Changed

- Save the accepted comment batch in the unclaimed primary wake, run
context, and coalesced receipt in one transaction.
- Lock the primary wake before the run. Recheck the expected run status
and same-company, same-agent and run bindings; apply the existing actor
equality fence only to durable receipts before mutation.
- Preserve incoming input as normal deferred work when the locked source
changed. Preserve receipt identity and actor fields.
- Preserve the original primary actor and trigger comment while updating
its accepted batch. Each incoming receipt retains its actual actor. Keep
claimed source payloads and legacy envelopes on their existing recovery
paths.
- Safely defer a same-named different agent without rewriting the
original agent's run, wake or receipt. Missing and foreign-company
targets remain rejected. Do not rebuild input from historical receipts.
- Add actual process/native producer, real database rollback, Stop,
deletion, foreign-source, and fallback controls. Update three direct
writer fixtures for the required expected-status contract.

## Verification

- The untouched process and native producer red on
`d7283e875772ca8c684dc86e471e6b48d543b7b1` loses accepted comment B at
actual claim. The initial incomplete mock is retained separately and
excluded from behavioral proof.
- Current process/native matrix: 22 passed, including mixed authors,
system primary, same-named different agents, changed status, claimed
sources, Stop, deletion and foreign-source boundaries. Queue, Postgres
admission and use-case suites passed 234 cases before the
source-preserving serializer follow-up; its 22 actual producer cases
passed again afterward.
- CI on the previous head found a real ordinary mixed-author
workspace-copyback regression. The earlier 13-case selection omitted
this test; that coverage gap is preserved. The first correction exposed
a second real source-provenance/copyback failure. After preserving the
primary trigger and actor while updating only its batch, the complete
workspace recovery file passed all 188 cases, including ordinary
mixed-author input and native copyback.
- Real HTTP queued-comment consumption, discard/reorder and Stop
boundaries: 101 passed before these review corrections. Existing chat
and Slack consumers each passed their selected real writer case.
- Previous-head CI also timed out in the CLI child-server startup
fixture and a ZIP transfer case. The full untouched transfer file passed
17 cases locally. Startup remains unclassified; its intentionally
reserved port is part of the fixture and is not diagnosed as the cause.
No CI retry was issued.
- An earlier queue run passed its 231 assertions but timed out during
teardown; its preserved replay passed all 60 queue cases. This is
distinct from the behavioral reds.
- Exact `ab59d944895774d89f950248e356e93af00f4832` server type layers
and production server/Runner build passed. The unchanged-default
serializer file passed all 11 cases. Current-head CI and both
substantive reviews remain required; previous grades and checks do not
qualify this head.
- No hosted task was retried or changed. Local tests do not establish
any hosted deferred event's cause, provider execution, native
acknowledgement, physical cleanup, or serving revision.

## Risks

- Admission now performs bounded row reads and locks for each coalesced
wake. It adds no idle scan or remote request. The existing task
transaction owns the operation; lock order follows queued claim.
- Claimed-wake recovery uses source identity. Its payload remains
unchanged, and the existing actual native copyback tests cover that
boundary.
- A source that changes before the lock can defer the new input. This
preserves work instead of consuming it into a stale run. No migration or
historical backfill is required.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol`, with reasoning, repository inspection, shell
execution, and test tools. The runtime does not report the
context-window size. A separate OpenAI coordinator reviewed the source.

DottaandPaperclip 0884e73b46 test(e2e): verify saved assigned skill use (#18783)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people manage agent work and reusable company skills.
> - A saved assigned skill must affect a task's actual execution.
> - Existing QA coverage creates and edits skills.
> - The daily target needs coverage for ordinary saved-skill use.
> - The task receives its receipt data only through one saved skill.
> - The admitted immutable version, native read and saved document
establish the outcome.
> - This PR adds one bounded journey for that gap.
> - A shared lease test also needs a stable clock to assert its exact
timeout.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #18305.

Supporting repair #18885 merged as
`057898530c702ec14c1e14d163e96dfb045cd8c0`. It closes the
recovery-conflict prerequisite. This branch does not duplicate that
production patch.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Product E2E coverage for ordinary assigned company skill use on an
existing deployment target.

**Current behavior**

The deployment journey catalog can create and edit a company skill. It
has no separate case that requires a native task to load its assigned
saved skill and use data available only inside that source.

**Proposed behavior**

Create one synthetic managed company skill through the public API.
Assign its canonical key with the normal Latest selection. Create the
task through the production browser composer. Require one native work
run, the exact created immutable version in its admitted skill-version
map, a successful native source read or load, and an agent-authored
saved receipt. Reload and verify the result, revision and original
source.

## What Changed

- Add `saved-skill-use` with one native work run and seven required
checks. The first check is `saved-skill-assignment-bound`.
- Use ordinary `desiredSkills: [canonicalKey]` assignment. Require the
returned stored assignment to have `versionId: null`. This works with
Beta skills off and reads or changes no experimental setting.
- Bind the creation receipt, pre-dispatch source read and version file
inventory. Require a managed skill with the exact company key. Require
the run's authoritative `skillSelectionSnapshot: true` and admitted
version map to match the created immutable version.
- Keep the random receipt reference and numeric inputs only in the saved
source. The task prompt names the skill without supplying its answer.
- Require exact company, task, agent, run, turn and runner bindings for
a complete successful native source receipt. Accept the deployed
OpenCode read wrapper only when both the saved assignment and native
execution input bind its runtime directory to the created immutable
skill version. Also accept the first-party assigned-skill read with a
provider-independent canonical key/version binding from both the saved
API assignment and admitted native input. Require the exact full source,
checksum, byte count and complete page. Keep the materialized
directory-name guard specific to the OpenCode filesystem path. Reject
claims, shell output, foreign or incomplete reads and wrong skill loads.
- Add a narrow Codex reader for the retained controller
`semantic_tool.input` and `semantic_tool.result` pair. Require the
actual native provider, runner, session, call, turn and item; the
admitted immutable key/version; the read-only `read_assigned_skill`
operation; and its successful active-task receipt. Recompute the input
digest and the exact complete seven-field read-result digest from the
saved source. Raw dynamic or MCP names grant no authority. Keep the
builtin OpenCode/filesystem reader body unchanged.
- Require authoritative native commit before qualifying the saved
receipt. Independently check its value and same-run document revision
authorship. Reload and verify the result and unchanged source. Retain
those existing readback receipts in the private checkpoint for
independent verification.
- Keep the exact raw campaign ID in the journal, API name, frontmatter
and saved name. A lost successful creation response remains recoverable
by name.
- Register discovery, source fingerprints, closed checks and existing
feature associations. Update the case and fixture docs. Feature-map
files are unchanged.

- Stabilize one existing shared sandbox lease regression with a scoped
`Date.now` spy and `finally` restoration. Keep its exact timeout,
no-destroy, no-replacement and recorded lease assertions. Change no
production service code.

## Verification

- **Genuine QA staging qualification passed on this exact
`2fb654f7be0bac3bfeb4ec6b7a2eb7a06b8de7e4` head**:
[workflow41763421118](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-cloud/actions/runs/41763421118),
[TestOps
launch2257/result4034](https://paperclip.testops.cloud/launch/2257/tree/4034?treeId=0),
[sanitized
report](https://pages.paperclip.ing/evals-qa-smoke-41763421118-1/). All
seven required checks and all five phases passed, with exactly one
configured OpenCode/DeepSeek native run succeeded and committed. Owned
cleanup closed. A separate source-pinned replay verified25
original-evidence controls and16 rejection controls without altering
originals. Automatic #testops PASS was independently read back. Both
earlier failed QA grades remain unchanged.

- Current-head CI `41758727042` attempt 2 passed with 48 successful jobs
and one skip. The coordinator authorized one unchanged-source
failed-jobs diagnostic. Start and end timestamps prove three fresh
executions (Runner package, server shard 7 and aggregate verification),
45 retained successful executions and one skipped non-execution. The
prepared-context test passed in 2,534 ms. All 28 repository rehome tests
passed. The original failed attempt remains sealed. Its timeout causes
are still unknown. No source, timeout or assertion changed, and no
reliability fix is claimed.
- Fresh exact-head Greptile review is 5/5 with zero unresolved threads.
All 58 current check-runs and the status rollup are terminal and clean.
The native Paperclip review ended neutral and incomplete, so it is not a
validated assessment. The PR remains mergeable after the dependency case
merged in #18901. The source remains frozen. A coordinator-only
qualification draft is prepared with approval false. A genuine QA
staging pass is still required before daily enrollment.
- Current head `2fb654f7be0bac3bfeb4ec6b7a2eb7a06b8de7e4`: 269 focused
tests across eight files passed. These include 42 Codex producer,
converter and false-positive controls. The canonical E2E typecheck
passed with its own declaration prerequisites. Credential-free discovery
lists 24 journeys. Fresh exact-head Greptile review passed at 5/5 with
zero unresolved threads. CI `41758727042` attempt 1 failed. It completed
45 successful jobs, one skip and three failed jobs. The primary failures
were one existing OpenCode prepared-context test at its unchanged
5-second timeout and three existing repository rehome tests at their
unchanged 15-second timeouts. The third failed job aggregates those
results. The timeout causes are unknown. The original attempt remains
sealed. A direct passing twin ran the prepared-context test in 2,533 ms.
All package, script, CLI, UI, workflow and root inputs match between the
actual tested merges. Three server files differ, including
`task-retry.ts` inside the broader rehome import graph; no full-server
equality or causal fix is claimed. The later single diagnostic pass is
recorded above. The native Paperclip review ended neutral with an
incomplete execution, so it is not a validated assessment. No live QA
pass is claimed.
- The valid review on `e1a474` found that Codex displays its first-party
tool as dynamic. Source inspection confirmed that its raw name has no
authority. The retained controller semantic input/result pair supplies
the real operation authority. Core
`09162fe893b464dd2ccdafd14bd3ef1611202a86` and current source have
identical relevant envelope, digest, result-unwrapping and
immutable-read implementation regions.
- Three real-producer positive controls failed against the old grader.
All 42 now pass. The tests call the actual immutable-file reader,
production protocol digest builders, Codex display converter and API
redaction. They validate the event schema and cover omitted defaults,
the exact runtime alias and Unicode bytes. Missing, duplicate,
reordered, failed, foreign, MCP, unbound, partial-page, wrong-digest,
wrong-key/version and nonce-only evidence fails. Generic dynamic output
fails even with copied full text and invented read-only markers.
- The original builtin reader body and source-only fixture function are
byte-identical to `e1a474`. All seven checks, the one-run limit,
500-cent guard, ordinary Latest assignment and Beta-off behavior remain
unchanged. The independent verifier is pinned to this new head. Its
synthetic semantic receipt passes 24 negative controls and its
filesystem receipt passes 16. Older helpers and both original failed QA
seals remain unchanged.
- Earlier integrated head `e1a47438b1c7e51a5bb2896a4ec9b6ed6560318b`:
376 focused checks across eleven files passed, including Saved, settings
and Chat overlap controls. All seven canonical server type layers and
exact-head E2E types passed. All four lease controls passed.
Credential-free discovery lists 24 catalog journeys. No new staging run
has occurred.
- Normal integrations consume actual master
`fbb7055b9020e505cd1bf903b1b1c301ba8f3eef` and actual Chat squash
`d7283e875772ca8c684dc86e471e6b48d543b7b1`. Preserve all five Saved
case/parser files byte-for-byte and retain settings and Chat
registrations. The only manual resolutions were two additive
handler/type anchors. All seven checks, one-run limit and 500-cent guard
remain unchanged. The independent verifier is pinned to this exact head.
- Earlier dbdf CI passed after one authorized failed-jobs recheck of a
confirmed Spot-terminated Build runner. Timestamp comparison proves two
fresh executions (Build and verify), 46 retained successful executions
and one skip. The original failed attempt remains sealed. Its native
Paperclip Review completed neutral with an incomplete execution and is
not a validated assessment.
- New master entries made the earlier dbdf PR conflict. The frozen
qualification guard correctly blocked dispatch before any pin or
receipt. Preserve its unapproved draft as history; it did not authorize
a QA run. This normal integration resolves the observed conflict. Fresh
current-head CI/review and one genuine staging pass remain required.
- Earlier merged head `dbdf1f3cbeaacc7cf9a2a457618035c945bd09f0`: 227
focused checks passed across seven files. All seven canonical server
type layers passed. The E2E typecheck passed using the declarations
built in this same checkout on this exact head. All four existing clock
and lease controls passed. Credential-free discovery lists 22 catalog
journeys, including both saved-skill use and task lifecycle. These are
local checks, not a live staging qualification.
- Normal merge of master `8771606fd87f69ed4057779e3dce3a9bca8088e6`
retains the reviewed task-lifecycle case and its Cursor fixture repair
from #18782. Resolve six shared journey registrations by preserving both
cases. The five saved-skill case files remain byte-for-byte equal to
reviewed `ff3814`. All seven required checks, one-run limit, 500-cent
bound and ordinary Beta-off Latest assignment remain unchanged. No
feature-map delta was added.
- The independent sealed-run verifier is now pinned to this exact merged
head. Synthetic semantic evidence passed with 24 negative controls.
Synthetic filesystem evidence passed with 16 negative controls. Foreign
document authorship and missing reopen/source readback still fail. The
old `ff3814` verifier and both original failed QA seals remain
unchanged.
- Common generated outputs were copied only after all 4,225 package,
script and root inputs matched, installed lock/TypeScript hashes
matched, and all 4,955 source output paths and hashes passed before and
after copy. No server declarations or editable source/module links were
copied. The server declarations were rebuilt locally. A full frozen
workspace install disabled lifecycle scripts and used the same locked
packages. No Rust build ran locally.
- Previous `ff3814` CI `41733864320` exposed a real wrapped PostgreSQL
uniqueness error in a recovery server test. That production defect is
independently fixed and tested in #18885. The later supporting PR merged
separately. This branch does not duplicate its production patch or
regrade the original failure. Preserve the original failed result and
the separate Spot interruption. New full CI and a fresh exact-head 5/5
review remain required.
- Previously, **225 tests passed across six files** in the focused
evidence, flow, contract, catalog and report set after the semantic-read
correction. The prior 181-test proof and all original failed attempts
remain retained. This correction changes only the saved-skill evidence
helper, flow argument, their tests and case documentation. The shared
clock repair remains unchanged.
- E2E TypeScript check passed on Node **24.22.2**.
- Earlier credential-free discovery listed 21 cases and exposes the
ordinary saved-skill journey without a Beta prerequisite. These local
checks make no provider or model calls.
- Source inspection of Core `09162fe893b464dd2ccdafd14bd3ef1611202a86`
confirms key-only selection becomes a stored null Latest selection.
Managed execution resolves its current immutable version and records the
admitted map in `contextSnapshot`. The public run API preserves that map
independently of optional result presentation data.
- Seven invalid admitted-version fixtures wrongly qualified without the
new guard. The regressions now reject them before the read or document
can qualify. Beta-off and Beta-on ordinary request controls use the
production sync validator. Wrong assignments, missing null selection,
source drift, creation-version mismatch and another skill's complete
native output cannot pass.
- Existing native commit, null/compact result data, read provenance,
nonce, saved-result, reload and lost-creation-response controls remain
required. Their original red results are retained.
- The earlier experimental version-pin variant remains unqualified. Its
missing-prerequisite regression and the denied target-setting attempt
remain separate failure evidence. This case qualifies ordinary
assignment and the version actually admitted by the server.
- Normal merge of master `5f1b59ba2c9adfb40a681bf419a8b7e7837d1125`
includes the reviewed inbox snapshot fix #18798 and App/Shell
access-fixture fix #18799. The merge has no conflicts. All 17 journey
source, helper, registration and documentation files remain
byte-identical to reviewed head
`eab260955ff43eeacfdafc9b75dfc9b116f0eb79`.
- Previous CI `41672686614` failed two UI test shards with obsolete
user-ID fixtures; its aggregate verify job also failed. The merged
access-fixture repair addresses those failures. This is a new source CI
run; the failed run is retained.
- Dependency output reuse follows exact path and byte checks for 10,977
tracked build inputs and 3,411 generated outputs. The first copy guard
detected 12 bundles regenerated after its initial manifest and stopped
before any destination mutation. The stable replacement manifest passed
all checks before copying. Final focused tests, E2E typecheck and
discovery passed after the verified copy. No editable source or module
link was shared.
- An earlier integration found stale generated Cursor Cloud
declarations. Canonical dependency builds refreshed them, then typecheck
passed. The original typecheck failure remains recorded.
- The initial report support failure came from a blocked `tsx` IPC pipe
before report execution. The unchanged test passed with normal local IPC
permission. The original failure and diagnostic remain recorded.
- `git diff --check` passes. Full workspace recursive typecheck, unit
run and build remain assigned to hosted CI and coordinator verification.
Full CI `41679720041` passed on the prior
`f3f288a54177f2b9a7b225b1d1ab35440dfc597c` source. A clean 5/5 review
passed on `0f445cf1c622afb25a1af92398784209df542696`. Fresh CI and
review are required after the shared clock fixture repair.
- The first real QA staging attempt on
`f3f288a54177f2b9a7b225b1d1ab35440dfc597c` failed
`saved-skill-native-read-attributed`. Assignment, immutable admitted
version and cleanup passed. The test stopped before document, reload and
source-after observations. The original failed attempt and its complete
evidence remain sealed.
- The original successful builtin `read` event contained the full saved
procedure. OpenCode returned its file wrapper with an unknown normalized
operation, null target and a hashed runtime skill name. The old parser
rejected that shape. A synthetic regression failed before this
correction. The corrected parser recognizes that exact retained read in
memory, with no change to the original grade. Wrong paths, copied shell
text, missing starts, mismatched calls, failed/truncated reads and wrong
version/name bindings still fail. A later staging attempt is described
below. Neither failed original was regraded.
- Original CI `41703535552` failed one shared server test and its
dependent verification job. The lease-resume test expected an RPC
timeout of 31,234 ms, but the runtime correctly supplied 31,233 ms after
one elapsed millisecond. The test and runtime service were
byte-identical to the previous passing source. The failed run remains
recorded.
- A scoped advancing clock reproduced that exact 31,233-versus-31,234
failure locally. A stable clock around only the acquisition call now
preserves the exact original assertion. The repaired test and three
related sandbox lifecycle controls pass on disposable embedded Postgres.
No production timeout, lease preservation, cleanup or replacement
behavior changed.
- The first local reproduction stopped before test execution because six
same-package native Postgres library aliases were missing. Their exact
existing versioned libraries matched the canonical dependency. Restoring
only those internal relative aliases allowed the separate deterministic
red and green measurements. This prerequisite failure remains recorded.
- The second real staging attempt on
`02582aadd23fc128ae29daa69482113cf0f95ad1` also failed
`saved-skill-native-read-attributed`. Authentication, setup, assignment,
source-only input, collection and cleanup passed. It completed one
native run. Later document, reload and source-after checks were not
executed. The complete original remains sealed as failed.
- That attempt used the ordinary first-party
`paperclip_read_assigned_skill` tool. Its complete native receipt
contained the exact canonical skill key, created version, `SKILL.md`
bytes, SHA-256, byte count and null next-page offset. Core verifies the
pinned manifest and file checksum before returning that receipt. The old
grader recognized only filesystem and native skill-load output. An
actual-shape regression failed before this correction. The corrected
parser recognizes the retained read in memory. Wrong keys, versions,
source bytes, hashes, partial pages, semantic failures, copied shell
output and foreign or unpaired native calls still fail. No model prompt,
product source or original grade changed. A live pass on this corrected
source remains required.
- CI `41708636059` on the previous `02582` source passed at attempt 3.
The first two interrupted attempts remain recorded. AWS evidence
identified Spot capacity termination for the second Rust runner. The
targeted retry executed Rust and aggregate verification; 46 successful
jobs retained their exact prior execution timestamps and one job
remained skipped. New metadata IDs do not establish new executions.
Fresh full CI and review remain required for this source.
- Earlier CI `41730743279` passed on
`1ee86838ea528edd8c60fb9ddd858faf3c83e783`. A later review finding
correctly showed that the semantic read still depended on an
OpenCode-only directory-name helper. That finding remains recorded.
Three local Codex, ACPX Cursor and Cursor Cloud flow controls reproduced
the rejection before this correction.
- The semantic path now binds the canonical key and immutable version
through the common native runtime skill selection contract. Its
checksum, complete source, page and native call attribution checks stay
unchanged. Missing, duplicate, wrong-key and foreign-version API/native
assignment controls still fail for all three provider configurations.
The OpenCode filesystem wrapper still requires its exact provider and
materialized directory name. These local controls test the existing
canonical receipt shape; they do not claim live provider qualification
or add a guessed provider encoding. Fresh CI and review are required
after this correction.
- This public PR does not enroll the case in the daily plan or change
protected QA configuration.

## Risks

The target must supply a disposable native agent with normal company
skill-write access and cleanup. It must preserve the authoritative
admitted version map and provide a complete source read or named native
skill-load receipt. Missing evidence fails the case even when the
receipt document has the right value. The OpenCode wrapper path requires
matching assignment and native input records for the same immutable
version; it does not accept a generic targetless read. The builtin
first-party path requires the same version binding and exact full-source
receipt. Codex must provide its authoritative controller pair and a
digest that commits to that exact complete result. Partial pages,
unknown operations and semantic failures do not qualify.

Local flow controls simulate the target API and browser boundaries. They
do not establish live Cloud qualification. Experimental assignment pins
need separate qualification. The journey changes only its owned skill,
assignment and task. It changes no shared agent, setting, model,
connection or budget.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex with reasoning and code execution. The
runtime does not expose a more specific model identifier or
context-window size. Local checks made no product-model calls.

DottaandPaperclip ce7766dc11 fix(recovery): resume retries with remote workspace storage (#18910)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages work performed by AI agents.
> - Native recovery must resume an interrupted run under its saved
ownership.
> - Remote workspace storage records that ownership in
`runnerProfileJson.remoteWorkspace`.
> - Recovery recognized only the older workspace record and plugin task
leases.
> - A retained remote PID could therefore leave a due retry without a
dispatch.
> - This PR routes the new record through the existing remote recovery
verifier.
> - Checkpoint, lease, process and single-executor checks remain
authoritative.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

After a native sandbox turn returned without a semantic result, same-run
recovery was saved with a retry deadline. The run retained its sandbox
PID and the new remote workspace reference. The recovery selector
skipped it. Later task attempts could then fail on the unfinished
workspace writer.

**What did you expect to happen?**

The due retry must enter existing remote checkpoint and ownership
verification. Recovery must resume the original run once or expose the
real verification blocker.

**Steps to reproduce**

Persist a retryable native failure with a remote PID, a prepared
`paperclip.remote-workspace-run.v1` reference, an existing lease and
checkpoint, then run heartbeat recovery. The added PostgreSQL cases
reproduce this shape.

**Deployment mode**

Native Paperclip Runner in a sandbox with remote workspace storage.

Related: #18841 handles legacy workspace recovery during storage
migration. #18908 handles failed native preparation. This repair covers
a later, provider-started retry.

## What Changed

- Recognize the current remote workspace record when classifying process
location and selecting remote retries.
- Extend the existing database and real-process fixtures to cover the
new record, including a retained PID without a process group.
- Reuse existing restart recovery. Add no new retry loop, ownership
bypass, migration or workflow change.

## Verification

- Before the repair: three new behavioral cases failed. Two retries
never dispatched; a missing checkpoint never reached its visible
recovery hold.
- After the repair: all 82 heartbeat recovery tests pass.
- All 57 neighboring resumption-binding, restart-recovery and
remote-probe tests pass.
- Safety cases retain retry deadlines, live controller ownership, active
execution, missing-checkpoint rejection, single dispatch and zero host
signaling of the sandbox PID.
- Local platform: macOS arm64, Node 24.22.2, PostgreSQL 18.1. The tests
use disposable databases and an owned live process as the remote PID
collision control. Provider execution is outside this routing
regression.
- Full `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass at
`34aa2d08d38e8afec7f8d98ce984a74551caeda6`.
- Current-head GitHub checks: 53 successful; `ci / verify` passed.
Paperclip Review completed neutral with a 5/5 assessment and no
findings. Two Storybook jobs were skipped by scope; the external
security scan was neutral. No failures, pending checks, or merge
conflicts remain.
- Greptile: 5/5 at the same commit, with no review threads.
- The duplicate full local `pnpm test:run` was interrupted after
current-head CI passed. Its first two chat shards passed (574 cases); it
has no complete local full-suite verdict. This is separate from the
passing targeted recovery suites and required CI test lanes.
- Staging diagnosis used read-only run, finalization, workspace and
lease evidence. The fixed revision has not been deployed. The original
task's useful continuation remains unverified.
- Initial local attempts stopped before test execution because generated
SDK output and PostgreSQL library aliases were missing. Those setup
failures are retained separately from the behavioral red/green evidence.

## Risks

A wrong remote classification could send a run to the wrong ownership
path. The existing verifier still checks the saved checkpoint,
controller lease and target. Tests require one dispatch, preserve
process identifiers, and prove that recovery never inspects or signals a
coincident host PID. Legacy workspace and plugin task coverage remains
green. This repairs missed continuation; it does not establish the cause
of the earlier missing semantic result.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning and tool execution. The exact
model snapshot and context window were not exposed.

27a825da2f feat(telemetry): track the server OS with the registered contract (#18897)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Its first-party telemetry uses a generated event contract and typed
helpers.
> - The existing events do not identify the server's OS family.
> - A proposed event is dropped until the generated contract registers
it.
> - This PR syncs the registered contract and emits the OS family when
an enabled server telemetry client starts.
> - The benefit is a way to compare Windows, Linux, and macOS
installations while keeping machine details out of the event.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Problem or motivation**

We cannot compare Paperclip installations by host OS. Counting task or
install events does not provide this dimension.

**Proposed solution**

Send one `server.started` event with Node's raw `process.platform` as
`os_platform` each time the server initializes its enabled telemetry
client. Compare distinct install identifiers per platform, rather than
restart event totals.

**Alternatives considered**

A proposal-only emitter would send no data. A separate later
contract-sync PR would leave the feature incomplete. This PR includes
the canonical generated SDK and promotes the emitter together. CPU
architecture and OS versions are outside this feature's scope.

**Roadmap alignment**

This is a narrow telemetry addition to existing server startup, with no
new user flow. The full contract copy also adopts the three existing
connector proposals described in #13578; their schemas are already
registered. The generated file stays an exact copy, so their helpers and
tests must be promoted in the same change.

## What Changed

- Export `trackServerStarted` and call it once when server telemetry
initializes. Repeated initialization returns the same client and emits
no duplicate event.
- Copy the canonical generated telemetry SDK byte for byte from schema
source commit `5369e6b`. Remove the startup proposal marker. Normal
opt-out and CI suppression apply before initialization.
- Promote the three connector events included in the canonical SDK.
Derive enum types from the generated map and preserve raw values. Update
their real-client transport and disabled-state tests.
- Assign startup to the existing `operational_enum_count` retention
class. Document OS privacy, container/WSL interpretation, and
distinct-install counting.
- Add real-client startup transport tests and server initialization
tests, including file opt-out, environment opt-out, and CI suppression.
- Keep startup running when telemetry state storage fails. Publish the
client and start periodic flushing only after the startup event
succeeds. On failure, clean up the client, disable telemetry for the
process, and log a generic warning without the storage path or
underlying error.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck`: passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared build`: passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared exec vitest run`: 98 files, 1,055
tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared exec vitest run src/telemetry`: 6
files, 39 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/telemetry-startup.test.ts
src/__tests__/shared-telemetry-events.test.ts`: 2 files, 19 tests
passed.
- Exact generated artifact comparison, `git diff --check`, and local
secret/PII review passed.
- Proposal inventory contains no startup or connector proposals. The
repository extractor fails with TypeScript 7's missing compiler API;
rerunning it with the installed TypeScript 5.9 compiler API passed. No
extractor source change is included.
- Initial local server typecheck attempts found missing workspace
dependencies and a missing plugin SDK link in this fresh checkout.
Dependencies and the local SDK link were repaired; `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/server typecheck` then passed. Full repository typecheck,
tests, and build are covered by the PR CI rather than claimed as local
passes.

Greptile found that a telemetry state-file error could abort startup.
New regression tests reproduced this on the previous head with both an
injected permission error and the real state store blocked by a file.
Both now pass, including no published client, no periodic flushing, no
send, and no retry after failure. Shared telemetry tests and server
typecheck were rerun after the fix.

Full PR CI passed on `a41540b7899bc8a0aedbd78d72f8b69ad1a4b318`,
including typecheck, build, all selected test shards, and the final
verify gate. [Successful workflow attempt
2](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41752039595/attempts/2).
Attempt 1 was interrupted when the server (1/12) runner received a
shutdown signal; its incomplete result was retained in the PR
discussion. The same-commit shard retry and dependent gate passed.
Greptile reviewed this exact head at 5/5 with all threads resolved.

## Risks

This change starts sending one OS family value per server startup when
telemetry is enabled. It sends no OS version, architecture, hostname,
path, prompt, or machine identifier beyond the existing envelope.
Containers and WSL report the runtime's OS. Event totals reflect restart
frequency, so use distinct install identifiers for OS adoption analysis.

The complete generated SDK also enables the previously registered
connector proposals. Those events keep their existing approved payloads;
no connection names, credentials, tool arguments, or results are added.
Privacy review is requested for both newly active paths.

Deploy the registered schema before merging this app change. Live
production delivery has not been tested. No schema migration is needed.
Revert this PR to stop the new startup emitter and restore the prior
contract.

## Model Used

- Original implementation: Anthropic Claude Opus 5.5, as recorded in the
original commit.
- Completion: OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol`, xhigh reasoning, through Codex in T3
Code; shell, Git, and automated tests. Context window size is not
exposed by the runtime.

Devin FoleyandClaude Opus 5.5 925965a09b fix(task-retry): wait out brief chat authorization contention (#18895)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A user can click Retry on a task that is connected to an external
chat conversation.
> - That Retry prepares the chat retry inside one admission transaction.
The chat step takes a per-principal authorization lock with
`pg_try_advisory_xact_lock`.
> - When another chat transaction holds that lock for a short time, the
chat step throws `NativeChatReviewPresentationContentionError`. This
error is not an `HttpError`. The route returns HTTP 500, and the error
handler reports a server crash.
> - The contention is routine and short. The admission transaction does
not contact a provider, and it rolls back completely. The owning service
can safely try it again.
> - This pull request retries the admission a bounded number of times.
If the lock stays busy, the service returns a retryable 409 instead of a
500.
> - The benefit: the user's click usually succeeds without an error, and
Paperclip stops reporting expected lock contention as a crash.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A hosted staging server reported
`NativeChatReviewPresentationContentionError: Chat response
authorization is temporarily busy; no provider delivery was attempted`
from `POST /api/issues/:id/retry`. The stack is `requestTaskRetry` →
`writeExecutionControl` → `prepareFailedChatRunRetry` →
`failedChatRetrySource`. The error came from the
`chat-identity:<company>:<principal>` advisory try-lock. The route
returned HTTP 500 for each occurrence.

**Expected behavior**

Short lock contention must not fail a deliberate Retry click. The
service must wait it out. If the lock stays busy, the service must
return a clear, retryable client error and must not report a server
crash.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Bind a task to a restricted chat endpoint and conversation. Make the
latest task run a failed run.
2. In a different database transaction, hold
`pg_try_advisory_xact_lock(hashtextextended('chat-identity:<company>:<principal>',
0))`.
3. Call `POST /api/issues/:id/retry`. Before this change, the chat retry
step throws `NativeChatReviewPresentationContentionError` and the route
returns 500.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on master `8771606fd87f69ed4057779e3dce3a9bca8088e6`. The
server release that reported it was
`d59791828482f213713ca55000c40e6c9c6c03e5`.

**Deployment mode**

Hosted staging, Node 24, PostgreSQL.

Related: #18845 and #18621 changed nearby Retry admission. They do not
handle this contention.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/task-retry.ts`: `requestTaskRetry` now calls the
unchanged admission transaction (`admitTaskRetry`) in a bounded loop: 10
attempts, 100 ms apart. It retries only
`NativeChatReviewPresentationContentionError` and lock-not-available
contention (`isExternalChatWaitAuthorizationContention`, which matches
`55P03`). Every other error, including 403/404/409 decisions, propagates
unchanged on the first attempt.
- If the lock stays busy for all attempts, the service throws
`conflict(..., { code: "task_retry_busy", retryable: true })`. The UI's
existing 4xx handling resets the Retry button, and the error handler
does not report a 4xx as a crash.
- `server/src/services/task-retry.test.ts`: three PostgreSQL cases:
- Real advisory-lock contention. A second transaction holds the same
`chat-identity` lock that production checks, then releases it. Retry
succeeds and persists exactly one wake request. A replay with the same
idempotency key returns the same request.
- Persistent contention returns 409 `task_retry_busy` after exactly 10
attempts and persists no wake request.
  - A 403 from the chat step does not retry.

The transaction body is unchanged. It was moved into `admitTaskRetry`
without edits.

## Verification

- RED: with the old `task-retry.ts` and the new tests, the contention
case fails with the exact production error
(`NativeChatReviewPresentationContentionError: Chat response
authorization is temporarily busy…`). The persistent case fails because
the error is not an `HttpError`.
- GREEN: `pnpm exec vitest run src/services/task-retry.test.ts` passes
all 39 cases against embedded PostgreSQL.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` passes (all layers,
including tests).
- `src/services/heartbeat/workspace-preparation.test.ts` (another
`requestTaskRetry` caller): 165 of 167 cases pass. The 2 failures
(`remote_workspace_migration_source_changed` in "resumes an imported
path/file-url Git source…") also fail on unchanged master in the same
environment, so this change does not cause them.
- Runtime assumption (rule `runtime-dependency-boundaries`): the retry
is safe only if a failed attempt leaves no persisted state. The
contention test uses a real PostgreSQL advisory lock held by a separate
connection and checks that only one wake row exists after the failed
attempts. Each attempt is a separate transaction, so the loop holds no
row lock or advisory lock while it waits.
- The full repository `pnpm test:run` and `pnpm build` were not run
locally. I rely on CI for those.

## Risks

- Low risk. The worst case adds about 1 second of request time when the
lock stays busy, and then returns 409 instead of 500.
- An attempt can fail after an earlier step in the same transaction (for
example, workspace preservation registration). The whole transaction
rolls back, so the next attempt repeats those steps from a clean state.
Those steps run in the same transaction and do not contact a provider.
- If `requestTaskRetry` is called inside an outer transaction, each
attempt rolls back only to its savepoint. Locks that the outer
transaction holds stay held. In that case the loop ends with the same
409 after its bounded budget.
- No schema, API shape, or UI change.

DottaandPaperclip 057898530c fix(server): handle wrapped recovery action conflicts (#18885)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip coordinates durable agent work and recovery.
> - Independent workers can find the same task needs recovery.
> - The database permits one active recovery action for that task.
> - A losing insert must read the action that already committed.
> - Drizzle wraps the PostgreSQL unique violation in its cause.
> - The current classifier reads only the outer error and misses that
conflict.
> - This PR recognizes the same allowed conflict through a bounded cause
chain.
> - Both workers can then return the one durable action through the
existing retry path.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #18783.

**What happened?**

The saved-disposition-debt recovery regression failed in CI
`41733864320`. Two recovery workers collided on
`issue_recovery_actions_active_source_uq`. The fixture captured an
unhandled PostgreSQL `23505` error. A separate canceled shard in that
run lost its AWS Spot instance; that interruption is a different
failure.

**Expected behavior**

Two service instances that race to create the same active action must
return that one action. Unrelated database failures must still
propagate. Existing transaction and ownership rules must stay in force.

**Steps to reproduce**

Hold a PostgreSQL SHARE lock on the recovery-action table. Start the
same source-scoped upsert on two independent service instances. Confirm
both real INSERTs are waiting in `pg_stat_activity`, then release the
lock. The original code persists one action but rejects one caller with
a `DrizzleQueryError`. Its outer code is absent; its `PostgresError`
cause has SQLSTATE `23505` and the expected active-source constraint.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Supporting branch starts at master
`54782706e1d83d92295246e499627930df03662d`. It now contains a normal
merge of master `8771606fd87f69ed4057779e3dce3a9bca8088e6`. The
classifier correction stays unchanged. The PR diff against that master
still contains only the recovery service and its tests.

## What Changed

- Inspect up to eight error causes with cycle detection.
- Require SQLSTATE `23505` and one of the same two recovery-action
constraint names on the same error. Support the PostgreSQL driver's
`constraint_name` field.
- Reuse the existing source-scoped retry path and its unchanged
three-retry limit.
- Add a deterministic real-database collision regression and no-retry
controls for unrelated uniqueness, other SQLSTATEs and cyclic errors.
- Keep the original recovery regression, assertions and timeouts
unchanged. Keep the saved-skill journey separate in #18783.

## Verification

- Review follow-up: the real collision test now checks the intended
retry merge. The surviving action has attempt count 2, active status,
the default unlimited budget, the expected owner, supplied evidence and
supplied attempt timestamp. Its wake and monitor fields remain null.
Existing identity and convergence assertions run first.
- A disposable counterfactual returned the winner unchanged after the
lost insert. It passed the original barrier, one-row, no-rejection and
same-ID assertions, then failed the new attempt-count check with 1
instead of 2. The counterfactual was not committed. The production
service was restored byte-for-byte. The actual service passed all seven
focused race, no-retry and sequential controls. The affected canonical
test-tree-2 typecheck passed against verified unchanged local
declarations.
- Parent `4f8abfe4f2244649219ef6ced3534634193f0b53` full CI
`41746314291` passed all 48 selected jobs with one intended skip. Its
5/5 summary also had two duplicate unresolved reliability comments about
the missing state assertions. This test-only follow-up addresses both.
Fresh full CI and current-head review are required again.
- The deterministic real-database regression failed before the
correction. Both inserts reached the lock and exactly one active action
persisted. The losing error was a `DrizzleQueryError` with a
`PostgresError` cause, SQLSTATE `23505` and constraint
`issue_recovery_actions_active_source_uq`.
- **11 focused checks passed across two files on the integrated head**
(181.72 seconds). This includes the real-database collision, no-retry
controls and all four unchanged recovery producer/dependency
regressions, including the original failed real-clock saved-debt case.
Both callers return the one persisted action.
- Current-head canonical server typecheck passed on Node24.22.2 with all
seven layers: below, cycle, above, tests and test-tree-0 through
test-tree-2. Canonical shared, SDK, DB and Runner TypeScript
prerequisites passed. The first filtered installs lacked CLI and UI
imports required by the new test layers. Those module-resolution
failures remain recorded as setup failures. A full frozen workspace
install with lifecycle scripts disabled supplied the same locked
dependencies. No source or type-configuration workaround was used. No
Rust or broad workspace build ran locally; full repository typecheck,
tests and build remain hosted-CI gates.
- The actual supporting master baseline reproduced the same wrapped23505
failure before the correction. Earlier configuration-resolution, local
IPC and native-library prerequisites remain separate setup failure
evidence. No test failure was reclassified as a pass.
- First supporting CI `41739489620` was canceled before its build/test
jobs completed. Its later automatic full-CI run `41739747947` failed.
The recovery server shard passed. The Runner failure was the Cursor
fixture case repaired upstream in #18782, now included by the normal
master merge. That CI also observed an attachment-browser timeout, a
repository-rehome timeout and a lost-runner connection. Their underlying
causes remain unknown. A later pass will establish recovery, not explain
those earlier failures. These original results remain retained.
- Current `fbd392b9b65dbcf4ac078825096037ed0d490a0b` full CI
[41751706634 attempt
2](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41751706634/attempts/2)
passed: 48 successful jobs and one intended skip. Attempt 1 remains
retained: ten primary jobs lost their bound Spot capacity and the verify
job failed as a dependent. A single ordinary failed-job recheck produced
eleven fresh successful executions (ten primaries and verify);
timestamps prove 37 successful executions were retained. The skip is not
counted as execution. Current Greptile is 5/5 with both addressed
reliability threads resolved and no unresolved findings. All 57 current
check runs are successful, neutral or skipped, and Snyk is successful.
This is CI recovery; it does not explain the separately retained older
attachment and repository timeouts.
- The original CI failure and both failed saved-skill QA attempts remain
unchanged. This PR does not establish a live QA pass or deploy a
production change.

## Risks

Conflict classification must not turn unrelated errors into retries. The
new controls require those errors to propagate after one insert attempt.
The traversal is bounded and stops at cycles. Transaction, company
scope, ownership, notifications, retry count and database constraints
are unchanged. No schema or public API change is required.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex with reasoning and code execution. The
runtime does not expose a more specific model ID or context-window size.
These checks make no model or provider calls.

Michael NguyenandPaperclip 58d1b21098 fix: separate fresh setup from archived personal connections (#18902)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents and their service access.
> - Each personal connection belongs to one user.
> - Setup can recover an archived connection by its name and provider.
> - A fresh setup can therefore select another user's old identity and
fail its owner check.
> - This change creates a separate connection for fresh setup after
personal archival.
> - Explicit reconnect still requires the existing owner and preserves
its history.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A fresh GitHub setup can return 403 after a personal connection with the
same name was archived. The request does not include a reconnect target.
Setup still selects the archived identity by name and provider.

**Expected behavior**

Fresh setup creates a separate personal identity. It leaves the archived
connection, credentials, grants, and activity unchanged. Explicit
reconnect rejects a different user.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a personal GitHub connection in a test company.
2. Archive that connection and its application.
3. As another authenticated member, start fresh personal setup with the
same name and provider.
4. Observe the owner-check failure before this change.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Base: db9be4c5a. Tests use isolated database and HTTP fixtures.

**Deployment mode**

Authenticated. The legacy owner can be a local board identity.

## What Changed

- Exclude implicitly recovered archived personal connections from fresh
setup.
- Use the existing company-scoped name allocator to create a separate
application and connection.
- Test three owners: a legacy board identity, another user, and the
current user.
- Check credential isolation, unchanged archived records and activity,
missing-key rejection, and explicit reconnect denial.
- Keep managed revival and generic MCP rollback/reconnect fixtures on
explicit reconnect targets.
- Verify generic personal URL setup creates an independent identity and
preserves the archived records.
- Document fresh setup and reconnect behavior.

## Verification

- Final head: `96184e3179aab2eeb88df87d442691741a4875a2`. Full CI
recovered and completed successfully: [run 41752164958, attempt
2](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41752164958/attempts/2).
PR rollup: 53 successful checks, 3 skipped, none failing or pending.
Typecheck, build, all server shards, Runner lanes, and E2E gates pass.
- Exact-head Greptile: 5/5, zero inline comments or review threads.
Independent engineering/security reviews approved the production
implementation; engineering approved the test-only follow-up. Browser
acceptance review approved with the timing qualification below.
- Final-head local generic MCP suite: 84/84 passed (23.26 s); server
typecheck passed. Reviewer independently reran the three changed
scenarios: 3/3 passed (15.74 s).
- Production head `587631230`: local tool-access suite 504/504,
recursive typecheck, and full build passed. Broad local checks were not
repeated for the test-only delta. Full local `pnpm test:run` remains
incomplete after interruption during the first chat shard; no
full-local-suite pass is claimed.
- Initial full CI at `587631230` failed three generic MCP fixtures that
still relied on implicit archived personal recovery. All three
reproduced locally (15.01 s). The test-only follow-up gives owner
reconnect/rollback scenarios explicit targets and verifies independent
fresh URL setup without relaxing their assertions. Corrected server
shard 12/12 passes on final head. The unfinished earlier run was
cancelled after the follow-up push.
- Initial current-head E2E shard 3/8 failed a 5000 ms task-heading wait
at `tests/e2e/cloud-auth.spec.ts:46` (40 passed, one failed). Its
screenshot/accessibility snapshot contains the expected heading. The
single authorized no-code rerun passed 41/41 with zero test retries,
including all URL, handoff, and login-form checks. The first-heading
assertion took 3774 ms on rerun. Both attempts tested the same merge
commit for this PR head. These observations support a timing concern;
the original cause remains unknown. The unchanged Cloud-auth path does
not invoke archived-connection setup. Recovery is established; an
infrastructure cause is not. If it recurs, capture an instrumented
first-navigation trace and compare an unchanged baseline under
comparable conditions.
- PR remains draft. Merge and deployment are outside this request.
Synthetic provider/browser fixtures do not prove live GitHub
authorization or a deployed fix.

## Risks

- Fresh setup after personal archival now creates a new ID and a
suffixed name, including for the same owner. Clients must supply an
explicit target to reconnect the old identity.
- The guard applies to all personal gallery connections, not only
GitHub.
- No schema migration is required. Explicit owner checks remain in
place.
- Security review approved the unchanged production implementation.
Merge and deployment are outside this change request.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex. The runtime does not expose a more specific
model snapshot or context window. Used reasoning, code editing, and
shell tools.

DottaandPaperclip e2dc2cc0be fix(native): retire idle shared-sandbox ingress owners before dispatch (#18893)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents and their tasks.
> - Native tasks can share one reusable sandbox workspace.
> - A completed child can keep its provider process warm.
> - A parent has its own logical session, but the sandbox has one
ingress listener.
> - Retirement by task identity leaves the child's listener in place.
> - A new parent Runner then fails to bind that listener.
> - This pull request retires a proven idle physical owner before the
parent's distinct session starts.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #15353 and #17097 for listener configuration and warm transport
rotation. Refs #18682 for owned process retirement. #18860 repairs a
different resume-source failure. Searches found no existing repair for
retained warm sessions on different tasks that share the same physical
ingress allocation.

**What happened?**

A completed child and a later parent can use the same reusable sandbox.
Warm-session retirement compares logical task ownership. It does not
find the child's distinct task scope. The child keeps the fixed ingress
listener, and the parent's new process fails with
`runner_ingress_bind_conflict` / address already in use.

**Expected behavior**

A parent must start in its own logical session after the proven idle
prior listener closes. Active, foreign or unverified owners must remain
protected.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the `retires the completed child listener` cases in
`native-session-executor.test.ts`. The actual executor registers a warm
child. PostgreSQL holds its committed, accounted result and clean
expired lease. A distinct parent receives the same allocation and
current workspace writer. The provider boundary uses real TCP listeners.
The original executor reaches the second bind with the child still
listening and fails with EADDRINUSE. The changed executor waits for the
owned close, then starts the distinct parent session.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on ab2d2098a2. The branch
includes current master 44a4ca1c61 before this PR was opened.

**Deployment mode**

Native Runner with provider ingress on a reusable sandbox workspace.
Local regression uses real PostgreSQL and local TCP with a controlled
provider-process boundary. No hosted provider call was made.

## What Changed

- Keep physical ingress identity separate from logical task/session
ownership. Never attach the parent to the child's session.
- Reserve a physical allocation during local admission. Retire a
distinct warm owner only after canonical company, agent, workspace,
provider, allocation, lease, task and coordinator checks pass.
- Require the current remote workspace writer and location to match the
admitted run. Require the prior run to be committed and accounted, with
its original controller generation and a clean released or expired
lease.
- Use the existing close, checkpoint and stopped-file collection path.
Wait for close before parent dispatch, then recheck canonical authority
before staging files or calling the parent backend. Retain the entry
when close is uncertain.
- Add actual executor/PostgreSQL/TCP safety cases and document the
contract. Keep maps unchanged for this bug fix.

## Verification

- Untouched production at ab2d2098: actual executor + PostgreSQL + TCP
fails EADDRINUSE. Same positive case passes after the change.
- Final focused suite: 20 passed. It covers distinct parent session
identity; foreign company, allocation and workspace; active or
unaccounted owner; changed controller; reassignment; competing
lease/writer; stale allocation metadata; Stop before and after claim;
workspace-lock race; failed close that leaves the listener and accepted
result intact; and controller transfer, Stop or writer change during
awaited close. These last cases reject the stale parent before backend
invocation after the old listener closes.
- Untouched head3425acbe: transferring the incoming coordinator during
close still reaches the parent backend. The same actual
executor/PostgreSQL/TCP case passes after the post-close authority
check.
- Broader `native warm session supervision` suite: 160 passed. This run
preceded the final two-line logical-session collision guard; the final
20-case suite includes that guard.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`: all source and test
layers passed, including `src/__tests__`.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server build`: production server and
Runner build passed at current head572acfef79. The exact-head build
stamp is recorded.
- The provider/close boundary is controlled. The fixture seeds canonical
committed/accounted finalization data in PostgreSQL. These tests do not
claim a live model result, operator ACK, hosted PID-to-listener
identity, or recovery of a historical task.
- Full repository pnpm checks were not run locally for this server-only
slice. Required current-head CI and reviews are pending.

## Risks

The new retirement path can close a process from another task. It
requires the same canonical company, agent, allocation and workspace, a
current exclusive writer, and a completed idle owner. Missing or changed
evidence leaves admission blocked. Active owners, changed generations,
reassignment and cancellation remain fenced. A failed close retains the
owner and saved result.

This covers current-controller warm entries with recorded physical
identity. Historical processes outside the registry keep the existing
exact-owner recovery requirements. No port shuffle, port kill, task
capability expansion, new polling loop or invented receipt is added.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol (`gpt-6.1-sol`) in Codex, with source editing,
terminal execution and tool use. The host did not report its
context-window size.

Devin FoleyandClaude Opus 5.5 ad5cd785b1 fix(wake-queue): keep promoted Retry runs scoped to their issue (#18876)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The wake queue starts the next run for a task when the task's
current run releases its execution lock.
> - A board Retry saves a receipt with only `{ issueId, taskRetry }`.
This receipt has no saved wake context.
> - When the release drain promotes that receipt, the promoted context
gets `taskKey` from the payload, but it does not get `issueId` or
`taskId`.
> - The new run takes the task's execution lock, but the database saves
it as a company-scoped run with no issue.
> - Low-trust workspace preparation then has no issue reference. The run
fails before provider work with "Low-trust execution issue is outside
the active trust boundary."
> - This pull request restores the issue scope of a payload-only receipt
during promotion.
> - The benefit is that a Retry on a low-trust task runs in its task
boundary and does not fail during setup.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A user clicked Retry on a low-trust task while a run was busy. When the
busy run ended, the release drain promoted the saved Retry receipt. The
promoted run had `issue_id = NULL`, `scope_kind = company`, and a
context snapshot with only `taskKey`, `wakeReason: task_retry`,
`wakeSource`, and `wakeTriggerDetail`. Workspace preparation failed with
`low_trust_boundary_mismatch` (HTTP 422) in the setup phase.

**Expected behavior**
A promoted run for a task must keep that task's issue scope. This is
true also when the deferred receipt has no saved wake context. Workspace
preparation must then evaluate the task's own trust boundary.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Use a task with a low-trust execution policy whose assignee is an
agent.
2. While a run on that task is busy, click Retry on the task.
3. Let the busy run end. The release drain promotes the deferred Retry
receipt.
4. The promoted run is company-scoped with no `issueId`. It fails in
setup with `low_trust_boundary_mismatch`.

**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at 51d1d4ce07.

**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific (core bug).

## What Changed

- `enrichPromotedWakeContext`
(`server/src/modules/wake-queue/domain/context.ts`) now restores
`issueId` and `taskId` from the payload when the deferred context does
not have them. This is the same rule that the original wake enrichment
uses. The function does not overwrite a value that the queued context
already has.
- I added a domain test for the payload-only receipt and for the
no-overwrite rule.
- I added a Postgres adapter test
(`adapters/promoted-retry-scope.test.ts`). It runs the real release
drain with a Retry receipt that has no saved wake context. It checks
that the promoted run is issue-scoped and holds the task's execution
lock. The database trigger `set_heartbeat_run_scope_kind` derives
`issue_id` and `scope_kind` from the restored context `issueId`.

## Verification

- Red before the fix: both new tests fail on unchanged `master`. The
adapter test shows the incident shape: `issueId: null`, `scopeKind:
"company"`, and `taskKey` equal to the issue UUID.
- Green after the fix:
- `pnpm vitest run server/src/modules/wake-queue/` passes (10 files, 289
tests).
- The related suites pass (11 files, 468 tests): `heartbeat/queue`,
`heartbeat/run-control`, `heartbeat/run-lifecycle`,
`deferred-execution-receipt-work`, `execution-lock-orphan-cleanup`,
`heartbeat-comment-wake-batching`, `issue-stale-execution-lock-routes`,
`chat-failed-run-retry-boundary`, `task-retry`,
`execution-control-work`, and `workspace-recovery`.
- Server typecheck (`node server/scripts/typecheck-layers.mjs`) passes.
- I did not run a live low-trust Retry on a deployed stack. The adapter
test uses the real release drain, the real database trigger, and the
persisted receipt shape that `requestTaskRetry` writes.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change only adds `issueId` and `taskId` when they are
missing and the payload has them. Deferred wakes that already have a
queued context do not change.
- The release drain still promotes a board Retry receipt directly. It
does not go through `resumeTaskRetry`. This PR does not change that
path. A promoted Retry therefore does not get `forceFreshSession` or
`taskRetryRequestId`. This behavior existed before this PR. It is a
possible follow-up, not part of this fix.

## Model Used

- Anthropic Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), used through Claude
Code with tool use (code search, shell, and test execution).

DottaandPaperclip 7b1c53f8f1 fix(recovery): continue verified preparation after lease interruption (#18892)
Use recorded system interruption and the existing execution, controller, stopped-lease, and saved-file proof instead of a shutdown-only error label. Preserve bounded retries, user Stops, task authority, and exactly one continuation.

Keep the chat recovery fixture faithful to the preparation stage and terminal time written by the real lifecycle. Retain missing-field safety controls.

Dotta db9be4c5a6 fix(workspaces): preserve safe one-shot failure messages (#18888)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent work and keeps saved work safe.
> - Remote workspaces use provider commands to build and copy a verified
archive.
> - Some providers return a one-shot command's combined output in
stdout.
> - The workspace transport checked only stderr for its two safe failure
messages.
> - This hid those messages behind a generic error on that provider
path.
> - This pull request checks both streams for the same exact messages.
> - The benefit is a useful existing error message without exposing
other output.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Daytona one-shot execution returns combined output in stdout and leaves
stderr empty. The remote workspace transport checked only stderr after a
failed command. It therefore lost the existing full-disk and
unfinished-Git-operation messages.

**Expected behavior**

Preserve those same two exact safe messages from either returned stream.
Keep all other output private. Keep the existing stderr preference when
both streams contain different safe messages.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the real workspace capture helper with a conflicted Git merge or an
injected ENOSPC write. Apply the provider's one-shot output contract to
the real child result. Before this fix, all three new cases return only
remote_workspace_operation_failed.

Related provider contract: #10941. The duplicate search found no PR for
this exact transport classification gap.

## What Changed

- Check stderr and stdout for only the two existing exact safe failure
messages.
- Add real helper regressions for one-shot Git and full-disk failures.
Keep the conflicted files and original saved result intact.
- Add privacy, unknown-output, split-message, stderr-preference and
healthy verified capture/restore controls.

## Verification

- RED: three real helper cases fail on the unchanged transport. They
cover a conflicted Git merge and ENOSPC during helper installation and
archive creation.
- GREEN: 73 tests pass in remote-workspace-transport.test.ts and
remote-workspace-snapshot-archive.test.ts.
- Server layered typecheck passes: `cd server && node
scripts/typecheck-layers.mjs` with Node24.22.2. All seven source/test
layers pass.
- Full CI is requested with the full-ci label. Current-head CI and
review are pending.
- The local install used the frozen lock with scripts disabled. The
maintained root SDK-link helper restored its skipped local postinstall
links. The original prerequisite failure is retained. Generated package
outputs were copied only after complete input, installed-toolchain and
output-hash equality checks; server declarations were checked in this
worktree.
- The full workspace typecheck, test suite and build were not run
locally. This two-file change uses focused real-helper tests and server
typechecking; full CI supplies the broader checks.

## Risks

- A failed command can now show one of the existing safe messages when
the provider puts it in stdout. Unknown, prefixed, suffixed and private
output still produces the generic error.
- This change does not repair an archive failure or prove that a
retained workspace was saved. It changes no capture, ownership, archive
validation, stop, save or retry guard. No live provider command or
recovery action was run for this PR.
- No API, permission, schema, configuration, map or documentation
contract changes are required.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-6 (Codex), with reasoning, tool use and code execution. The
host does not expose the exact deployment identifier or context-window
size.

Nicky LeachandClaude 8fd917aedf fix(native): accept late provider notices in recovery (#18890)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native Runner sessions keep a provider conversation across task
turns.
> - When a later run gets a new task lease, recovery must prove that the
prior run settled.
> - Recovery required `run.terminal` to be the last committed event.
> - A provider can send a late notification for a settled turn. The
Runner then records a `provider.notice.recorded` warning after
`run.terminal`.
> - This false denial stranded a clean session. The notice stays in the
journal, so each later run on that session meets the same denial.
> - This pull request lets recovery accept a recoverable notice after
the terminal event. All other new events still block recovery.
> - The benefit is that a late warning no longer ends session
continuity. A denial now also names the check that failed.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No issue exists. I searched open and closed pull requests and issues for
the error code, the event name and the function name. I found no
duplicate.

**What happened?**

A run failed in about nine seconds with `runner_state_identity_mismatch:
plugin_checkpoint_recovery_unproven`. No provider work started. The
prior run had finished and was committed as succeeded. Its journal had
one `provider.notice.recorded` warning, "ignored a notification for a
settled Codex turn", 1 ms after `run.terminal`. A second session had the
same warning about 61 seconds after a normally completed turn.

**Expected behavior**

Recovery accepts the session and continues the provider conversation. A
recoverable notice does not start work, so it must not block recovery.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a warm native session in a plugin sandbox environment.
2. Finish a run so that a provider notice follows `run.terminal` in the
journal.
3. Wait until the idle timeout stops the Runner task and releases the
lease.
4. Start the next run on that session. It gets a new task lease.
5. The run fails with the error above. The notice stays in the journal,
so a retry on the same session meets the same denial.

The `local-receipt-late-notice` test mode in
`native-session-executor.test.ts` reproduces this failure on the unfixed
code.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Observed on `d8a9b3eb0c`. The same check is on `master` before this
change.

**Deployment mode**

Cloud deployment, with a native Runner in a plugin sandbox environment.

## What Changed

- `isSettledRemoteWarmControlState` accepts a `provider.notice.recorded`
event after the terminal event. The notice must be recoverable and have
`info` or `warning` severity. It must come from the same runner, run,
session and lease.
- Error notices, unrecoverable notices, notices from another source and
new work still block recovery.
- Checkpoint recovery and local quiescent recovery now use this
function. They no longer have separate checks that require
`run.terminal` to be the last event.
- Each checkpoint recovery denial adds a specific reason after the
existing code, for example `plugin_checkpoint_recovery_unproven:
journal_not_settled`. The `runner_state_identity_mismatch: ` prefix does
not change.
- I reworded the existing comment on `isSettledRemoteWarmControlState`
so that it stays correct. I added no new code comments.

## Verification

- **Failure before the fix:** I added the tests first and ran them on
the unfixed code. 38 tests failed. In the 4 `local-receipt-late-notice`
cases, checkpoint recovery rejected with
`runner_state_identity_mismatch`. In the `late provider notice` case,
quiescent recovery rejected with `quarantine_owner_unverified`. The new
unit test for notices also failed. The other 32 failures were assertions
for the new denial reasons.
- **Targeted tests after the fix:** 134 tests passed, with 987 skipped
by the filter.
- `cd server && pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/remote-warm-session-recovery.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts -t "settled
remote warm control evidence|recovers a blocked|automatically recovers
only a proven settled local session"`
- **Type error found in review:** Vitest does not check types, and my
first version passed these tests. Review of the diff showed an
incompatible `identity` parameter type. I changed that type to
`Record<string, unknown>`.
- **After the type change:** `remote-warm-session-recovery.test.ts`
passed (23 tests) and `pnpm run typecheck` in `server` passed. I did not
run the 134 tests again, because this change affected only types.
- **Real data, read-only:** I ran the new function on 285 session
journals from a test deployment. The result changed for 2 journals.
These are the 2 stranded sessions, and each has only provider notices
after `run.terminal`.
- **Not run locally:** I did not run the full test suite. I stopped a
run of the wider native-runtime test files before it reported a result.
CI provides the full regression coverage.
- **Not verified:** no live run has reached `read_state` on a stranded
session after this fix. The tests use a fixture for that call.

## Risks

- **Stricter identity check:** checkpoint and quiescent recovery now
also require the journal's saved identity to match. Recovery reads this
identity from the same file, so only damaged state should fail this
check.
- **Wider goal snapshot rule:** these two paths now accept idle goal
snapshots after the terminal event. Warm handoff already used this rule.
- **Wider notice rule:** warm handoff and the settled projection check
also accept recoverable notices now. A notice does not start work, and
the checks for pending commands and unanswered tool input stay in place.
- **Longer error text:** code that compares the full
`plugin_checkpoint_recovery_unproven` message for equality would stop
matching. I found no other reference to this code in the repository.
- **Stranded sessions:** these sessions need no data repair. They can
still fail with `checkpoint_not_settled` if the sandbox checkpoint is
not clean.
- **Migrations:** this change has no migration.

Dotta 82dd3bb702 Preserve unstarted queued turns during offline enrollment (#18887)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Existing-volume enrollment moves server files to durable object
storage.
> - Enrollment stops application deployments before it changes file
authority.
> - A task drain keeps unstarted turns queued in the database.
> - The migration rejected every queued row, so a busy instance could
never finish enrollment without discarding requests.
> - This change preserves unstarted queue intent and continues to reject
running or previously started executions.
> - Users keep their pending turns and saved files through the
conversion.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A preserving enrollment found queued turns after task admission stopped.
The workspace, instruction-file, and historical-log guards treated these
rows as live writers. The drain also prevented the rows from starting,
so waiting could not satisfy the migration guard.

**Expected behavior**

After every old deployment has stopped, maintenance can move files while
unstarted queued turns remain unchanged. The replacement claims those
turns through normal admission. Actual executions and retained execution
ownership continue to block migration.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Queue a turn behind another task.
2. Start a task drain and let the current task finish.
3. Stop the application deployments and run offline enrollment.
4. Observe `active_execution_requires_drain` for the unstarted queued
turn.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on the migration contract through #18864. This branch starts
at `ab2d2098a2764c511978d1c3e7a3fc5dfcef07f4`.

Related: #18826, #18835, #18841, #18864. Searches for queued enrollment
and queued migration found no duplicate fix.

## What Changed

- Share one offline execution predicate across workspace, agent-file,
and historical-log migration.
- Reuse the existing pre-dispatch evidence predicate; queued turns with
execution markers, saved checkpoints, source events, coordinators, or
environment leases remain blockers.
- Keep task bindings and normal live-migration restrictions unchanged.
- Exercise normal replacement admission after deleting the old
filesystem: the same queued run reads restored workspace bytes and
instructions, completes its original wake, and cannot execute twice.
- Document the offline boundary and queued-turn behavior.

## Verification

- **111 tests passed** across the final 110-case migration suite and
assembled queued-turn heartbeat proof, with real PostgreSQL and local
S3. This includes workspace/log migration, queued ownership blockers,
ordinary agent-file controls, and the actual bundled maintenance
process.
- The maintenance process preserves the queued row while archiving
historical output. The new assembled heartbeat test creates a normal
wake under drain, migrates without changing either row, deletes the
original filesystem, and resumes through normal admission. It reads
saved workspace bytes and the restored instruction bundle, persists one
successful native result, completes the same wake, and verifies a second
sweep does not duplicate execution. Only sandbox transport/provider
execution are scripted; no live model or Daytona calls.
- An earlier optional run-evidence worker integration invocation was
skipped without its dedicated environment; it is outside the changed
offline path.
- Server typecheck, server build, and runtime bundle passed.
- The first maintenance test exposed the separate agent-file guard; that
guard now uses the same offline predicate and the test passes.
- Initial local typecheck attempts lacked CLI dependency links in this
isolated checkout. Restoring dependencies fixed setup without source
changes.
- Full repository checks run in CI. The first head lost spot runners in
Build and serialized tests; one unchanged idle-deadline fixture crossed
UTC midnight and failed its timestamp assertion. Final-head CI passed on
run 41744678994 after retrying a spot-runner shutdown. Greptile reviewed
the exact final head at 5/5; all inline findings are resolved. The
separate Paperclip Review app remains queued. Hosted enrollment remains
pending release qualification and compatibility verification for the
existing provider configuration.

## Risks

The offline predicate relies on Cloud stopping every old application
deployment. It does not make online migration safe. Running executions
always block. Requeued executions with retained ownership also block. No
queued request, task binding, or recovery state is removed or rewritten.
No database schema changes.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 based, with reasoning and tool-assisted code
execution. The exact deployed model identifier and context-window size
are not exposed in this session.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 4e29f00139 fix(native): keep settled ACPX sessions across Runner upgrades and run scheduled resumes (#18879)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native Runner keeps one ACPX provider conversation across the
per-turn runs of a task. Each run cold-attaches the session that the
previous run settled.
> - The saved ACPX state binds the digest of the launch profile that
wrote it. Every deploy ships a new provider pack, so that digest
changes.
> - After a deploy, the next run of such a task fails `run.attach` with
`ACPX durable launch profile digest does not match runner startup`.
Every same-run retry fails the same way.
> - On one instance this happened seven times. Six tasks used their
retry budget and ended blocked, or in progress with no runner. In the
seventh, the scheduled same-run resume never ran at all: the task stayed
`in_progress` with nothing running, and its monitor did not fire.
> - This pull request re-binds a settled session to the upgraded launch
profile, types the remaining mismatches so the server stops retrying
them, and makes a scheduled remote resume survive the stale-lock sweep.
> - The benefit is that a task continues its conversation after a
deploy. When it cannot, it stops with a clear next action instead of
stalling.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18846, #18847, #18854 and #18860 (nearby native recovery changes).
Refs #15795, an open change to the same stale-lock sweep function. It
changes run teardown, not lock cleanup, so a second merge needs at most
a small rebase.

**What happened?**

A per-turn native task used provider `acpx` with Claude, driver
`acpx_runtime`, on a remote sandbox.

1. Run A succeeded and settled its provider session. The next run with
the same build cold-attached it.
2. The instance deployed a new build.
3. A board approval woke run B in a fresh sandbox. Run B failed after
about five minutes: `native_session_recovery_failed: Error: PRP command
run.attach failed: {...
"result":{"code":"command_execution_failed","message":"ACPX durable
launch profile digest does not match runner startup"}}`.
4. The coordinator recorded `retryable_failure`, attempt 1,
`native_session_interrupted`, recovery mode `exact_checkpoint_resume`,
recovery state `resuming_session`, and a retry 30 seconds later.
5. Two seconds after the failure, the stale-lock sweep cleared the
task's execution and checkout locks, because run B was `failed`.
6. Forty minutes later the attempt was still 1. The scheduled monitor
had not fired. The task stayed `in_progress` with nothing running.

**Expected behavior**

A session that the previous run settled continues after a deploy. If it
cannot continue, the run stops at once with a clear next action. A
scheduled resume either runs or fails visibly.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Save a suspended ACPX session under one launch profile.
2. Change the sidecar bytes and the provider-pack authority at the same
paths.
3. Cold-attach the next run in a new runner. Restore fails with the
digest mismatch.
4. For the stall: leave a remote native run `failed` with a due
`retryable_failure` coordinator, run the stale-lock sweep, then run
restart recovery for that run. It returns `blocked:
issue_execution_lock_changed` and writes nothing.

The new Rust and PostgreSQL tests run these steps.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `b0c4e345267`.

**Deployment mode**

Native Runner, per-turn lifecycle, remote sandbox. The re-bind applies
to every ACPX agent with an ordinary startup.

## What Changed

### Root causes

- **Upgrade failure.** `AcpxLaunchProfile::canonical_digest` hashes the
provider-pack authority, the sidecar command and arguments, each
artifact path and SHA-256, and any candidate admission. For a remote
sandbox the authority is the provider-pack manifest digest, which covers
the Runner source revision and dist digest. So every deploy changes it.
`AcpxDurableState` stores only the digest, and `validate()` rejects any
difference. Only a Kimi candidate run binding had a carve-out.
- **Silent stall.** The failure write keeps the task locks for
`retryable_failure` and clears them only for `terminal_failure`. The
stale-lock sweep treats any `failed` run as cleanable, so it cleared
them. A remote retry goes through `claimNativeRestartRecoveries`. That
claim requires `issues.execution_run_id` to name the run, so it returned
`blocked: issue_execution_lock_changed` with no coordinator write and no
deadline. The live recovery queue then dropped the entry. The local
claim (`claimNativeSessionResumptions`) already reclaims a free lock, so
only remote runs stalled.
- **Monitor.** `noActiveNativeMonitorRun` holds a task's monitor while
any native run for it has a coordinator that is not `committed` or
`terminal_failure`. Run B's `retryable_failure` held it. That is by
design; it ends when the resume runs.

### Runner (Rust)

- `rebinds_settled_session` in `acpx_provider_backend.rs`. Restore
re-binds a saved session to the current launch profile only when all of
these are true:
- The lifecycle is `suspended` and an identity exists. There is no
active turn, pending runtime request, undelivered provider event, or
unconfirmed provider exit.
  - The startup has no candidate admission.
- The saved descriptor's sidecar command and arguments equal this
startup's.
- Any other digest mismatch keeps failing with the same message, plus
`classification: "provider_state_incompatible"` in the durable command
result. `DurableRunnerError` carries an optional closed classification
for this.
- A saved descriptor that names an agent release this build does not
qualify (ACPX version, agent server package or version, or command
digest) also gets the class. `validate_session()` and its message are
unchanged; restore only adds the class.

### Runner (TypeScript)

- `runnerRecoveryFailureClass` reads the classification from the
authenticated `runnerCommandResult`. The Codex app-server driver (which
also drives ACPX through runnerd) and `HarnessDriverBackend` pass it on
as `failureClass`.
- If replacement after a failed resume is not allowed,
`executeNativeSession` throws `NativeProviderStateIncompatibleError`
(message unchanged: `native_session_recovery_failed: ...`). If
replacement is allowed, the existing path opens a fresh session in the
same run, as before.

### Server

- `nativeSessionFailureSourceCode` maps that error class to
`native_provider_state_incompatible` with `instanceof`, not text. The
disposition is permanent: `terminal_failure` at once, the task blocks,
and the board owns the recovery action. Its next action says that a
Retry continues in a fresh provider session with the same workspace.
- `findNativeSessionResumeRun` also returns the barrier's `errorCode`.
`rebindNativeSessionCheckpoint` does not resume a source with
`native_provider_state_incompatible`. The existing fallback in
`buildNativeExecutionWithCheckpoint` then starts a fresh normalized
session with the full task bootstrap.
- `sweepStaleIssueLocks` keeps both locks while a referenced run's
coordinator owns a result-less `retryable_failure`, unless the task is
done or cancelled. Its update also requires that no referenced run has a
live status at the write, because a resume claim can return the run to
running after the status read.
- `claimNativeRestartRecoveries` reclaims a free execution lock for a
`retryable_failure` resume, like the local claim does, when the checkout
lock is free or held by this run and no other run for the task is
queued, running or scheduled. It records
`native.recovery.execution_reclaimed`. A lock held by another run still
blocks.
- Docs: `packages/paperclip-runner/docs/durable-recovery.md` and
`doc/execution-semantics.md`.

### Safety argument for the re-bind

What the binding protects, and what this change keeps:

- **Candidate admission** carries company, model, platform and expiry
authority. A candidate startup never re-binds. The Kimi run-binding
carve-out and all candidate rejections are unchanged.
- **The agent that loads the conversation** stays exact. `validate()`
runs on the saved descriptor before the digest check and requires this
build's qualified agent profile: ACPX version, agent server package and
version, and `commandDigest`. The saved identity must still match that
profile and the provider mode.
- **In-flight provider work** is never re-bound. A turn, runtime
request, undelivered event or unconfirmed exit keeps the strict binding,
so no old provider process or request continues under a new build. The
next launch only loads a settled conversation.
- **Launch shape.** A changed sidecar command path or arguments still
rejects. Only the content at the same paths may change.
- **Artifacts** are not trusted from the saved state. The current
profile comes from the trusted controller at startup, and session start
verifies every artifact's bytes and the restored provider identity, as
before.

What changes: a new provider-pack authority, or new sidecar or Node
bytes, at the same paths no longer invalidates a settled conversation.
The saved digest cannot show which part changed, so the rule does not
depend on it. I did not add state fields to tell authority changes from
artifact changes, because the rule would treat both the same.

One existing assertion changes.
`released_kimi_cold_restore_rejects_candidate_injection_and_changed_full_profile`
expected a settled ordinary Kimi session to reject a changed authority,
artifact digest, or saved digest. Those three cases moved to a new
positive test. Command, arguments, every candidate grant field, a
missing profile and run binding still reject.

### How a task in the reported state recovers after this deploys

The task has old-digest saved state, a `retryable_failure` coordinator
at attempt 1, and cleared locks.

1. Startup recovery, and the live recovery queue, run restart recovery
for the due run. It reclaims the free execution lock and claims the run.
The resume runs now.
2. Run B's failed `run.attach` is a durable outcome of B's exact run
authority. If the resume replays that outcome instead of executing it
again, it fails with the old, untyped text. The remaining attempts then
fail the same way, and the run ends `terminal_failure` with
`native_session_retry_exhausted`. The task blocks with a board recovery
action. This takes about a minute.
3. If the task blocks, press **Retry** once. Retry selects run B as the
source (it has process identity and controller evidence, so the #18860
skip does not apply) and rebinds B's checkpoint, which holds A's
provider session. The new run cold-attaches under the new Runner, and
restore re-binds the old digest because the session is suspended and
quiescent. The conversation continues. Run B's failed attach never wrote
the state file, so the state is still A's settled state.
4. Tasks that already exhausted their retries (blocked, or in progress
after `native_session_retry_exhausted`) need the same single Retry.
Their earlier attempts ran under the old Runner.

Wait for the task to show blocked before pressing Retry. A Retry pressed
while the resume is running joins that run.

## Verification

- Rust, failing first:
`settled_session_rebinds_to_the_upgraded_runner_launch_profile` failed
on `master` with the production message.
`unsettled_or_relocated_session_keeps_the_strict_launch_binding` failed
on the missing classification. Both pass now.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --no-fail-fast`: all 41 test
binaries pass. The library has 471 passed and 1 ignored.
- `cargo fmt --check`, and `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner
typecheck` (TypeScript, generated contracts, `cargo check`): pass.
- Server, failing first: `native-scheduled-resume-lock.test.ts`
(PostgreSQL). On `master` the sweep cleared the locks and restart
recovery returned `issue_execution_lock_changed`. Both negative controls
(another run's lock, a queued run) already passed. All four tests pass
now.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`: pass.
- Runner vitest (`src/native-session-runtime.test.ts`, `src/backends`,
`src/drivers/codex`, `src/drivers/provider-failure.test.ts`,
`src/live/runnerd-codex-transport*.test.ts`,
`src/control-plane/acpx-controller-recovery.test.ts`): 31 files, 1,011
tests pass. New: the typed error when same-session recovery is required,
and the recovery class reader and pass-through.
- Server vitest: the native executor, status corpus and provider-pack
admission suites (1,268 tests) pass. New: the classifier makes the typed
error permanent, and the same text stays retryable. Checkpoint selection
returns `errorCode`, and an incompatible source starts a fresh session
with the same workspace (unit and PostgreSQL).
- Server vitest over the recovery area: stale-lock sweep, native
resumption, process recovery, failed-workspace recovery, restart
recovery (integration, diskless, preparation), controller recovery,
startup retry, startup cleanup, recovered-owner follow-up, session
resume, runtime selection and recovery deadlines. 926 passed. Four
`heartbeat-process-recovery` tests failed in that loaded run. Three pass
when I run them alone. `redacts opaque environment-bound credentials
from Sentry diagnostics: result` fails the same way on unmodified
`master` on this host (a local environment value is redacted).
- Review round 1: a new sweep test returns the run to running before the
clear. It cleared the locks without the write recheck and keeps them
with it. The strict Rust restore test covers an older agent server
release and an older ACPX release. The ACPX backend and durable runner
unit tests, the lock, sweep, resume projection and controller recovery
suites, `cargo fmt --check` and the server typecheck pass. In the second
full cargo run, the two `stdio_mcp` relay tests timed out waiting 5 s
for a child exit on this loaded host. They do not use the changed code
and passed in the first full run.
- After the rebase onto the current `master`: the new lock test,
failed-workspace recovery, stale-lock sweep and session resume suites
pass (189 tests). Server typecheck, `pnpm check:module-boundaries` and
`git diff --check` pass.
- CI on `929ef4508d2`: in the first run, `isolated-repository-rehome`
hit its 15 s test timeout, `idle-completed-history` could not reach its
fixture runtime service, and e2e shard 3 was cancelled by a runner
shutdown. A rerun of the failed jobs passed. All 55 checks pass.
- Not verified: a live remote sandbox deploy, and whether run B's
same-run resume replays its recorded `run.attach` failure or executes it
again. The Retry path is tested at source selection and checkpoint
rebind (server) and at cold attach (Runner). It is not tested end to end
through a sandbox.

## Risks

- A settled session now continues under new sidecar bytes. If a sidecar
change made an old ACPX record unreadable, session start fails as any
failed resume does. It does not corrupt state, and the run follows its
normal recovery policy.
- The sweep now keeps locks for a failed native run with a scheduled
resume. If that resume can never be claimed (for example the agent stays
paused), the task keeps the lock until the coordinator settles or the
task closes. Before, the sweep cleared it, and the resume still never
ran.
- If another run holds the task's lock, a scheduled remote resume still
stays blocked and the coordinator stays `retryable_failure`. This change
does not settle that case. It needs a separate decision about
superseding the resume.
- `native_provider_state_incompatible` is a new failure code. No UI or
migration change is needed. Older servers never see it.
- No schema migration.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) through Claude Code, with tool use
(shell, file edits, test runs). The runtime does not expose the context
window or reasoning configuration.

ce332ecec0 fix(execution-admission): keep admitted project sets after settlement (#18871)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - #18746 added execution-admission storage: one admission row per
attempt and one charge row per admitted project.
> - Settlement deletes every charge row. The admission row keeps only
the primary project and an opaque context revision.
> - Thus, after settlement, the complete admitted project set is lost.
> - A retained provider session still carries the references of its
previous admission. Example: a task mentions A and B, the admission
settles, and then a user removes B from the task text. The next
admission must still count B, or start a fresh context. The primary
project or the context token cannot supply B.
> - This pull request keeps the complete admitted set on the admission
row after settlement. Charge rows stay the only active capacity.
> - The benefit is that later retained-session resolution can read the
previous set. Settled history does not hold capacity or block project
deletion.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18746 (corrects its storage). Related: #2831, #14333.

**Subsystem affected**

Server execution admission (`server/src/modules/execution-admission/`)
and the `packages/db` schema.

**Problem or motivation**

`settleAdmission` deletes all charges of an admission. No other storage
records the complete project set. After settlement, the set cannot be
recovered. Current task text is not a replacement, because it can change
after admission.

**Proposed solution**

Add `execution_admissions.admitted_project_ids uuid[]`. It holds the
sorted, distinct set. It is written once at admission and a trigger
blocks changes. It has no project foreign key. `{}` is a known empty
set. Null means unknown. Only settled rows can have null. Migration
`0428` fills the set of unsettled `0426` rows from their charges,
because those charges are still complete. Settled `0426` rows stay
unknown.

**Alternatives considered**

- Keep charge rows after settlement with a `released_at` column and a
partial active index. The project foreign key would then block project
deletion permanently, or the key must be removed from active charges.
One table would also hold two different facts.
- A separate history table with one row per project. This is more rows,
joins and constraints for data that is only read as a whole set by
admission ID.
- Encode the set in `context_revision`. That token is opaque and owned
by the context owner. The database cannot validate it.
- Use `heartbeat_runs.context_snapshot`. It is mutable and is per run,
not per admission attempt.

## What Changed

- Schema and migration `0428_retained_admitted_project_sets`: add
`admitted_project_ids`, a check (null only when settled, no null
elements, at most 100 entries) and an immutability trigger. The backfill
fills unsettled rows from their charges and leaves settled rows null.
The migration is safe to run again. Migration `0426` is not changed.
- `recordAdmission` writes the set. A replay compares against the stored
set. `settleAdmission` still deletes the whole charge set in one
transaction and does not change the stored set.
- Add `readAdmittedProjects` (company-scoped, by admission ID). It
returns `known` with the set, or `unknown`.
- Add a pure `retainedSessionProjects` rule: a retained session uses
previous ∪ current. An unknown previous set returns
`fresh_context_required`. No consumer uses it yet; C1b integrates
retained sessions.
- Update `doc/DATABASE.md` and `server/src/modules/README.md`.

Not changed: no public cap writes, no claim or dispatch integration, no
session integration, no provider activation, no `serialize` → cap 1
migration. Active counts still use only the indexed charge rows.

## Verification

Red, on unchanged `master` code, with the new tests:

- `server`: `npx vitest run
src/modules/execution-admission/adapters/postgres.test.ts`. The new
tests fail. With a temporary reader that uses the only storage `master`
has (charges), the settled A+B admission reads `[]` instead of `[A, B]`.
- `packages/db`: `npx vitest run
src/execution-admission-migration.test.ts` fails, because no `0428`
migration exists.

Green, with this change:

- `server`: `npx vitest run src/modules/execution-admission`: 27 passed.
The new PostgreSQL test covers: A+B admission → settlement → set still
readable, charges and counts zero, settlement replay keeps the set, a
second attempt with a different set, primaryless and empty sets, company
isolation, rollback, immutability, the check constraint, and deletion of
a project that has only settled history (its ID stays in the set). It
also checks that a project with an active charge still cannot be
deleted.
- `packages/db`: `npx vitest run
src/execution-admission-migration.test.ts`: 2 passed. The upgrade test
starts from the shipped `0426` schema with an unsettled A+B row, an
unsettled empty row and a settled row. After the upgrade the sets are
`[A, B]`, `{}` and null. A second run of `0428` changes nothing.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db typecheck` and `check:migrations`
passed. `node scripts/check-module-boundaries.mjs` passed.
- Not run locally: the server layered typecheck. The local process was
killed for memory (a 5.8 GiB limit shared with other jobs). CI runs it.

This PR does not prove C2 claim races or C3 lifecycle authority.

## Risks

- Migration: one `ADD COLUMN`, an `UPDATE` that only touches unsettled
rows (none in production, because nothing writes admissions yet), a
check and a trigger. It does not delete or rewrite data.
- Settled rows created before `0428` stay unknown. A future consumer
must start a fresh context for them. It must not treat them as empty or
primary-only.
- The stored set has no project foreign key. Company scope is checked at
admission time, under the same project locks and the charge foreign
keys.

Size: about 70 production lines (schema 8, migration SQL 22, adapter 28,
domain 15), 105 test lines and 24 doc lines. Generated metadata
(`0428_snapshot.json`, `_journal.json`, removal of `0422_snapshot.json`
by the standard pruning) is separate.

## Model Used

- Anthropic Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) in Claude Code, with
tool use (shell, file edits, embedded PostgreSQL tests). Default context
window and reasoning mode.

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 11ac90e31f fix(build): typecheck server/src/__tests__ and fix every type error (#18739)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server has about 1,100 test and helper files in
`server/src/__tests__`
> - `server/tsconfig.json` excludes that directory, Vitest does not
check types, and no script runs the tsconfig in that directory
> - So a test can call a function with the wrong arguments and still
pass, and no tool reports it
> - This gap hid 2,168 real type errors, and some of them hid tests that
did not test what they claim
> - This pull request fixes all of these errors and adds the directory
to the server layers from paperclipai/paperclip#18737
> - The benefit is that a type error in a server test now fails the
typecheck, with no baseline and no backlog

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs paperclipai/paperclip#18737, which is merged and added the server
layers. Refs paperclipai/paperclip#18738, which is merged and checks the
test projects outside `pnpm -r`, so it is not a duplicate. Refs
paperclipai/paperclip#18137, which records that this directory has no
check.

**What happened?**

No tool checked the types of 1,074 of the 1,101 files in
`server/src/__tests__`. I searched `package.json`, the workflows, and
all tsconfig files. 27 files are in the program of another tsconfig, and
these 27 have 0 errors. 11 of the 27 are in
`helpers/maintenance/tsconfig.json`. No script ran that project when I
measured this. paperclipai/paperclip#18738 now runs it.

**Expected behavior**

The server typecheck checks these files, and a type error fails the
check.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. On the base commit, run `tsc -p server/src/__tests__/tsconfig.json
--noEmit`. It reports 6,536 errors and needs 12.3 GiB.
2. Add a type error to any file in `server/src/__tests__`.
3. Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`. It passes.

**Paperclip version or commit**

I measured the error breakdown below on commit `8dfd632452`, with
TypeScript 7.0.2. The branch now includes master up to
paperclipai/paperclip#18865.

**Deployment mode**

Not applicable. This issue applies to development and CI. No production
source file in the server changes.

### Error breakdown

Each row adds one change to the row above.

| Step | Total errors | Change | Cause |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Config as committed | 6,536 | | |
| Add `src/types/*.d.ts` | 4,447 | -2,089 | Config. The Express request
types were missing. |
| Set `rootDir` to the repository root | 2,436 | -2,011 | Config. |
| Set `allowImportingTsExtensions` | 2,181 | -255 | Config. Vitest
accepts `.ts` imports. |
| Add `ES2024.Promise` to `lib` | 2,138 | -43 | Config. Node 24 has
`Promise.withResolvers`. |
| Set `allowJs` for `.mjs` imports | 2,148 | +10 | Config. It removes 8
`TS7016` errors and shows new real errors. |
| Set `declaration` to false | 2,142 | -6 | Config. Tests emit nothing.
|
| Count only files in `server/src` | 2,058 | -84 | Other packages: 53
Daytona, 29 Runner test, 2 UI. |

So 4,478 of the 6,536 errors (69%) came from config or scope, and 2,058
are real type errors in 314 files. The 29 Runner test errors are also
real, which gives 2,087 errors. Tests that master added after this
measurement had 81 more errors, so this pull request fixes 2,168 errors.

This table classifies the first 2,058 errors.

| Kind of real error | Errors |
| --- | --- |
| Wrong argument or assignment type | 1,023 |
| Stale or partial fixture objects | 525 |
| Property that the type does not have | 317 |
| Missing narrowing of null or unknown | 101 |
| Implicit any | 60 |
| Missing name or module | 16 |
| Other | 16 |

### What the type errors hid

Most errors were stale fixtures and loose mocks. These errors hid real
test problems, and this pull request fixes them:

- **A test that never ran.** `instrumentation.test.ts` required
`sdk-trace-base`, which is not installed. So 3 span tests were skipped.
They now run and pass.
- **Assertions that could not fail.**
- `issue-thread-interactions-service` used a company ID as an issue ID.
- `status-card-evaluation-work` compared `[]` with `[]` in a rollback
check.
- `slack-conversation-lifecycle` read `item.issueId`, which does not
exist.
  - `email-channels` used a permission key that does not exist.
- `heartbeat-project-env` imported `LOW_TRUST_REVIEW_PRESET`, which is
not exported. The value was undefined.
- **Postgres processes that did not stop.** 11 test files called `stop`
on the test database helper. That method does not exist, and the helper
method is `cleanup`.
- **Arguments that the service ignored.**
- `methodKey` is now `connectionMethodKey` in the Daytona, Unikraft,
1Password, and Railway tests.
- 108 calls passed `"owner-user"` to a parameter that expects an options
object.
- 9 chat wizard fixtures passed `managementContext` as `source`, so they
ran `existing_app` and not `manifest`.
  - 2 tests passed a `{ userId }` actor that the function ignores.
- Inserts into `environments` passed a `companyId` column that the table
does not have.
- **Problems in tests that master added during this work.**
- `sandbox-creation-operations` read `database.connectionString` when an
external test database was set. In that mode `database` is undefined, so
the fixture would stop with a TypeError. It now uses the external URL.
- `idle-completed-history` set a Dot operation to `dispatched`. That is
a Muse status, and the Dot type does not have it. The fixture now uses
`admitted`, which is a real in-flight Dot status.

### Possible product problems, not changed

These may be real problems in production code or types. I did not change
them, because this pull request does not change production behavior:

- `decisions-service` `service.create` does not validate the lenient
`cancel_issue_tree` input.
- `createConnection` ignores `input.connectionPurpose`.
- The `createConnection` route schema default stores `{}` for
`transportConfig`.
- `prepareManagedAiRuntime` accepted the invalid value `mode:
"connection"`.
- `createBinding` accepts invalid `projectionClass` strings outside
class 3.
- `ensureManagedProjectWorkspace` forwards an untyped `repoRef` by
spread.
- `routineVariableSchema.label` is optional, but `RoutineVariable.label`
is required.
- `ToolRunContext.projectId` may be too strict.
- `withdrawInteraction` reads `issue.status`, which its type omits.
- `issueService.list` and `reconcileNativeFinalizations` omit fields
that they return at runtime.
- `createGitHubExternalObjectProvider` handles `tokenProvider: null`,
but its type forbids this value.

## What Changed

- Fixed the 2,168 type errors. The diff changes 322 test and helper
files.
- Corrected `server/src/__tests__/tsconfig.json`. Editors and the
typecheck now read the same options and report the same errors.
- Added three `test-tree` layers to
`server/scripts/typecheck-layers.mjs`. They read the server layers as
declarations, and any error fails them. A hash of the path selects the
shard, so a new file does not move other files.
- Added `server/scripts/typecheck-stubs/daytona-sdk.d.ts`. Server tests
reach Daytona plugin source, and the root install does not have
`@daytonaio/sdk`.
- Changed two imports in `ui/src/lib/issue-execution-policy.ts` to use
`.js` extensions, because server tests import this file.
- Made `declarationsConfig` and `--declarations-only` skip the
`test-tree` layers, because these layers emit nothing. Other projects
read only the source layers. Added a test for this.
- Updated `doc/DEVELOPING.md`.

## Verification

Run these commands:

```sh
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck
pnpm exec vitest run server/scripts/typecheck-layers.test.mjs
```

Results on macOS (arm64), Node 24, 16 cores. Each check ran after the
merge of paperclipai/paperclip#18738 unless the row says otherwise:

| Check | Commit | Result |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Server typecheck, `PAPERCLIP_TYPECHECK_LOW_MEMORY=1`, all 7 layers |
`6e45a08573` | Exit 0, 0 errors, 62 seconds, peak 3.52 GiB |
| `node scripts/typecheck-test-projects.mjs --low-memory` | `a3306bd13e`
| Exit 0, 0 errors, 42 seconds, peak 3.25 GiB |
| The same script with `--reuse-declarations` | `1b878aabc0` | Exit 0, 0
errors |
| `typecheck-layers.test.mjs` and `live-recovery-work.test.ts` |
`01db5634e4` | 90 passed. These include real compiler runs for a pass, a
type error, and an invalid tsconfig. |
| `tsconfig.declarations.json` after a full server typecheck |
`0fb1e4fb0a` | It references only `below`, `cycle`, and `above`. No
generated config names a `tsconfig.layers.json` file. |
| Owned runtime test in `idle-completed-history` | `e8f2f448ac` |
Passed, with the fix that master later replaced |
| `idle-incoming-wake`, `plugin-idle-manager`, and the changed
`chat-channels` test | `6e45a08573` | 30 passed |
| Runner `native-execution.test.ts` | `eab4dcc1f4` | 114 passed |
| The 19 server test files that changed since `eab4dcc1f4`, and
`typecheck-layers.test.mjs` | `259737b700` | 4,275 of 4,277 passed. The
2 failures are in `chat-channels` and are in the list of 7 below. |

The peak is the largest single process, from `/usr/bin/time -l`. Peaks
for the server typecheck were between 3.42 GiB and 3.56 GiB across 8
runs. Peaks for the test projects were 3.25 GiB and 3.37 GiB across 2
runs. I did not measure a cgroup.

**Runtime check of the fixes.** Types do not prove that a test still
works. So I ran all 309 changed server test files, 11,929 tests, before
the rebase onto paperclipai/paperclip#18737:

| Result | Tests | Detail |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Passed | 11,913 | Includes the 2 tests and the 54 `dot-runner` tests
that passed in a later run, as described below. |
| Failed | 7 | The same 7 tests also fail on the commit before the
fixes. |
| Skipped | 9 | These tests have their own skip conditions: `sentry` 5,
and 1 each in `bundled-plugin-registration`, `customer-success-cloud`,
`onepassword-connection`, and `workspace-runtime-https-live-exercise`. |

The 7 tests that fail with and without this change, on my machine:

- 3 tests in `chat-channels` and `email-channels` stop with `ENOENT` on
a `SKILL.md` file. The path is in the parent checkout, above the git
worktree that I used, so I expect that the worktree is the cause. I did
not prove this.
- `workspace-instance-cleanup` compares `/private/var/...` with
`/var/...`. This is a macOS symlink difference.
- 2 tests in `git-reproducible-managed-checkouts` get
`unknown_base_git_files` and expect `unpushed_managed_checkout`. I did
not find the cause.
- 1 more test in `chat-channels`, `materializes direct external-chat
finals once`, gets `undefined`. I did not find the cause.

CI is the check for these 7 tests. `ci / verify` passed on `eab4dcc1f4`.

Failures during this work:

- My fix to `agent-runtime-connector-access` changed an invalid
permission key in the setup, but not in the assertion. The runtime check
found this. I corrected the assertion, and the file passes.
- `heartbeat-plugin-environment` failed one wait in the full run. It
passed three times alone, so I think that load caused the failure. It
can fail again under load.
- `dot-runner` skipped all 54 tests in the full run because `cargo` was
not on my `PATH`. It then passed 54 of 54 with the toolchain on the
`PATH`.
- My first `lib` value removed the default DOM types, and the error
count went up by 375. I added the DOM libraries.
- My Daytona stub with bare `any` left 48 errors, because generic
helpers then inferred `unknown`. I added shapes that return promises.
- One fix to `agent-secrets-routes` used `class_3_static_lease`, and the
test failed. That class allows only specific paths. I reverted to
`unclassified`.
- `ci / General tests (server (8/12))` failed on `259737b700` because of
the flaky port in `idle-completed-history`. paperclipai/paperclip#18853
fixed this test on master, so this pull request keeps that fix.

**Audit of the diff.** I counted these patterns in added and removed
lines, to find fixes that only hide an error:

| Pattern | Added | Removed |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `@ts-ignore` | 0 | 0 |
| `@ts-expect-error` | 0 | 1 |
| `.skip` | 0 | 0 |
| `as any` | 9 | 9 |
| `: any` | 11 | 2 |
| `as never` | 8 | 2 |
| `as unknown as` | 35 | 4 |
| `Promise<unknown>` | 16 | 5 |
| `expect(` | 128 | 113 |

No hunk removes more `expect(` calls than it adds. Three removals of
test content were intentional, and I checked each one:

- `muse-control` removed `signalToken`. Line 1012 already asserts that
it is absent.
- `merged-pr-confirmation-sweep` removed legacy aliases. Other tests
cover them.
- `heartbeat-workspace-branch-containment` removed a `finalize` branch
that no test row can reach.

Some partial fixtures stay unchecked through `as unknown as` and
`Promise<unknown>`, mostly in `issue-agent-mutation-ownership-routes`
and `issue-comment-reopen-routes`.

**Accuracy of the check.** One program over the tree and the three
shards reported the same errors at the same positions. Memory, as the
peak of the largest process on one thread, was 3.93 GiB for one program
and 2.43 GiB for the largest shard. I measured these two values before
the fixes.

Not run or not proven:

- I did not run the full `pnpm test:run`, or a root `pnpm build`. I
expect CI to run the full suites.
- I did not run the 4 GiB container check, or the full
`scripts/typecheck-low-memory.mjs`. The peaks above come from macOS, so
they are not a Linux cgroup measurement.
- I did not run the UI typecheck after the merges.
- `workspace-runtime-https-live-exercise` is skipped, so its `cleanup`
fix did not run.

## Risks

- **A large diff in test files.** 328 files change. A pull request that
edits the same tests can get merge conflicts. New tests on master can
also add type errors before this merges. Any such error fails this check
and needs a fix here.
- **A higher cost for changes to source types.** A change to a type can
add errors in test files that the author did not touch. The author must
then fix them. This is the purpose of the check, but it is new work.
- **Changed test behavior.** Some tests now run paths that they did not
run before, such as the 9 chat wizard fixtures and the 3 span tests.
They pass here, but they can be more sensitive to timing or to the
environment.
- **The Daytona stub can go stale.** The stub is written by hand. If the
plugin uses a new SDK member, the typecheck reports an error until
someone updates the stub.
- **The release path.** `release-verify.yml` and `scripts/release.sh`
run `pnpm -r typecheck`, so they now run this check.
- **The tsconfig change.** The test transform reads
`server/src/__tests__/tsconfig.json`. The options that I changed are for
type checks, and the runs above passed.
- **A gap that remains.** Tsconfigs in `packages/paperclip-runner` and
in most sandbox provider plugins exclude `*.test.ts`. This check does
not read most of those test files, so they can still drift. That work is
separate from this pull request.

DottaandPaperclip dcc0878b32 perf(agents): save healthy account settings without a runtime probe (#18690)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The agent runtime page saves account, model, and environment
settings.
> - The save handler starts a computer and runs a live account test
before it writes the edit.
> - A slow computer or provider can make a healthy account save take
tens of seconds.
> - Saved account health, access, installation, and compatibility can be
checked without a runtime test.
> - This pull request uses those checks for ordinary configuration
saves.
> - Legacy adoption, task adoption, and Copilot model checks keep live
verification.
> - The benefit is a fast save while Test and execution retain runtime
checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Saving a new AI account selection on an existing agent can take 20–30
seconds. Model edits can take the same path. The configuration PATCH
acquires a computer, prepares account credentials, runs a
provider/runtime probe, and releases the computer before it saves.

**Expected behavior**

A healthy installed account can be saved after current access and
compatibility checks. A save confirms persistence. Test verifies the
runtime. An unverified legacy account must still pass live adoption
checks.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the PostgreSQL regression with a 20-second controlled delay at
computer allocation. On the original route, a successful save takes
20,191 ms and calls allocation and the runtime probe once. With the
first patch, the same fixture takes 51 ms; with the environment-guard
correction, it takes 37 ms and calls neither operation. Each timing has
one sample. This is a local fault experiment with real HTTP and
PostgreSQL. It is not a hosted latency measurement.

Related: #17760 addresses binding comparison and prospective probe
environment resolution. This change deliberately removes the live probe
from ordinary healthy-account saves. It keeps live checks for legacy and
task adoption. #17965 fixes the result of an explicit managed Runner
test. Neither change removes this save-time wait. #18687 optimizes a
different Apps configuration read.

## What Changed

- Replace the internal probe boolean with explicit none, legacy, and
always modes.
- Use legacy mode for ordinary configuration saves. Keep current account
health, access, installation, compatibility, environment, audit, and
revision checks.
- Keep the environment company check before the live-probe branch. Keep
the live task-adoption transaction and Copilot model checks.
- Add twelve real PostgreSQL save-route regressions, including
company-bound environment checks. Keep the existing inherited-sandbox
adoption fixture for legacy and task adoption.
- Cover healthy and legacy settings changes separately. Keep provider
rejection and reconnect tests on the legacy save path.
- Update the specification and feature/access maps to distinguish saving
from runtime verification.

The configuration route owns this policy. The account service still owns
account access and health. The existing environment test service still
owns live probes. No new endpoint, migration, dependency, background
job, or provider protocol is added.

## Verification

Base: `3f8ebfff8aa9febd0733c6f65b07485dcadfd0e2`.

- Original route with initial regressions: three failures and two
passes. Healthy saves reached computer allocation. The controlled
20-second baseline saved successfully but failed the no-allocation
assertion.
- Initial save/adoption/Copilot selection: 21 passed. The name filter
excluded 141 unrelated tests. The seven new cases cover persistence,
revision and activity records, model edits, roster edits and stale
retries, missing installation, revoked grants, legacy verification, and
controlled allocation latency.
- Explicit Test-route suite: 55 passed. The first attempt reached the
30-second import hook limit. The same suite passed with a 90-second hook
limit.
- Saved harness preflight suite: six passed. Account revocation,
compatibility, probe failure and target release checks remain.
- `node scripts/check-maps.mjs` and `git diff --check`: passed.
- Review revision: both full save/account suites passed, 96 tests total.
The controlled save took 37.08 ms with zero computer allocations and
zero provider probes. The five new environment checks passed after the
three foreign-environment cases failed against the first patch.
- Local full `pnpm -r typecheck`: unavailable because cargo is missing.
- Local full `pnpm build`: unavailable at the verified Copilot runtime
prerequisite. Server typecheck preparation also reaches missing cargo.
- Local full `pnpm test:run`: stopped after concurrent broad checks
exceeded the container memory limit. No full-suite pass is claimed.
Direct server TypeScript checking and its bounded retry were also killed
by the container memory limit. The first remote Typecheck + Release
Registry check passed; the next head still requires fresh CI.

Reproduce the controlled timing:

```sh
cd server
PAPERCLIP_CONFIG_SAVE_PROFILE_DELAY_MS=20000 pnpm exec vitest run src/__tests__/agent-configuration-save.test.ts --hookTimeout 90000
```

The fixture keeps real Express, authorization, account selection,
PostgreSQL persistence, revisions and audit writes. Only remote
allocation and the provider probe are controlled. The default tests do
not contact a provider. Successful configuration saves no longer depend
on either controlled operation. A later explicit Test or task must still
verify the actual runtime.

Review follow-up: the first Greptile review found that the new
healthy-account path skipped the environment company guard. The
corrected route checks the effective environment before it decides
whether to probe. Five real PostgreSQL cases cover foreign, same-company
and global environments, inherited defaults, and an existing account
binding. Against the first patch, the three foreign-environment cases
returned 200 and failed their expected 403 assertions; the two allowed
cases passed. Initial fixture attempts hit unique environment
constraints; the fixture now uses distinct sandbox rows and names.

The first CI server shard found 11 tests that required a live probe for
every save. Those expectations are changed to the documented
healthy/legacy split, with additional healthy-selection cases. The build
and Runner jobs were cancelled after this test failure. Their logs show
no separate compile or test verdict. No cancelled check is counted as a
pass.

Latest commit `6257e9e67f289e1c650a8b4c2b818fcca37e2800`: [CI run
41542980091](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41542980091)
passed typecheck, build, all test shards, Runner checks, and E2E. All 55
check runs are complete: 52 passed and 3 were skipped by their workflow
conditions. The commit status check also passed. [Greptile
review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18690#issuecomment-6590555746)
is 5/5 for this commit with no new findings. The earlier environment
ownership thread is resolved. These remote results complete the checks
that the local tool and memory limits prevented. The earlier local
failures remain recorded above.

## Risks

A healthy saved account can become invalid at the provider before the
next runtime use. Ordinary saves no longer detect that through a live
test. They still reject unhealthy, revoked, incompatible, or uninstalled
accounts in current storage. Explicit Test and execution retain provider
authentication and project-authentication checks. Legacy-account
adoption, task connection adoption, and Copilot account-specific model
checks keep their existing live validation.

There is no migration. Reverting the route change restores the earlier
synchronous probe behavior.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with repository tools and code execution.
This runtime does not expose the exact model ID, context-window size, or
reasoning setting. Those values are not inferred.

Dotta 049c1eacf5 Preserve historical native logs during ephemeral enrollment (#18864)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Ephemeral web servers need retained run history in shared storage.
> - Some old native runs have surviving local logs but no completion
digest or verifiable native source coverage.
> - Enrollment must preserve those bytes without calling them a complete
native transcript.
> - This pull request adds a read-only archive path to offline
enrollment.
> - Users can still read old output after the original server filesystem
is removed.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Offline enrollment blocks on interrupted runs and unfinalized historical
native logs. The current importer requires canonical native-event
coverage even when the original local file survives.

**Expected behavior**

Preserve the exact surviving file in shared storage. Keep the original
run status, completion metadata, and source events. Do not allow writers
or native repair to modify archived history.

**Steps to reproduce**

Use an S3-configured instance with a terminal native run whose local log
lacks a final size or digest. Stop all app deployments and run ephemeral
maintenance. Before this change, interrupted status or unproven native
coverage prevents enrollment.

Related preservation work: #18826, #18835, #18841. This is a bounded
migration fix, not a new live logging protocol.

## What Changed

- The run-evidence migration owner can archive unfinalized native local
files during offline enrollment.
- Require the offline migration environment, zero active or queued runs
across the instance, and expired controller/finalizer leases. Check
global quiescence at each page boundary. Recheck each run's ownership
and metadata before publication.
- Verify stable local file identity and metadata, any recorded
size/digest, uploaded prefixes, and remote SHA-256.
- Store raw history in a separate `<run>.archive` journal with source
cursor zero and backend `s3_archive`. Leave completion fields and native
events unchanged.
- The existing log store reads archives but rejects begin, append,
enqueue, flush, and finalize. Native source repair does not run for
archives.
- Keep the default background importer's coverage checks. Continue to
reject incomplete mirrors and corrupt files.
- Add real PostgreSQL/S3 and packaged maintenance coverage. Correct a
pre-existing large-chunk fixture: the current verifier can prove exact
compactor output, so the negative case now uses a different canonical
source.

## Verification

- Passed on final head b96e80dbb3: 13
migration/storage/worker tests against disposable local PostgreSQL and
S3.
- Passed: 76 log-store, cancellation, object-store, native watermark,
and maintenance-service tests.
- Passed: server typecheck and server build.
- The archive journey removes original log files, reads exact saved
bytes through the normal recovery-aware reader, checks unchanged
run/source metadata, and verifies read-only behavior.
- Negative cases cover ordinary-process use, another company's running
execution, live controller/finalizer leases, an invalid recorded digest,
an incomplete mirror, and a changed local source.
- Review follow-up: move the global run-table scan from every item to
page boundaries. A real PostgreSQL trigger admits new execution during
publication; the page then fails, retains verified copies, and resumes
after quiescence. All 5 migration cases passed. After rebasing onto
merged #18841, all 13 migration/storage/worker cases and all 7 packaged
maintenance cases passed, along with server typecheck, build, and
runtime bundle.
- Preserved failure: the old large-chunk expectation failed with both
this change and the unmodified base importer. The updated fixture checks
the verifier's current compaction contract and still blocks mismatched
source output.
- Passed: all 7 real PostgreSQL/S3 enrollment cases, including the
bundled maintenance process under plain Node. Its interrupted native log
is archived, the original log directory is removed, and the saved bytes
remain readable.
- Passed: packaged runtime build and full repository CI (54 successful
checks). Four CI jobs lost their runners; a separate voice-recovery
timing assertion failed. The unchanged voice case passed locally, and
all failed/interrupted CI jobs passed on retry. Greptile reviewed the
final head at 5/5 with no unresolved threads. The separate Paperclip
Review app remains queued/paused. No live tenant migration or volume
detachment is claimed by this PR.

## Risks

- Rollback after enrollment requires a reader that supports
`s3_archive`; old binaries cannot read the new backend.
- Offline mode relies on the deployment owner stopping all old app
processes. Database and file checks are additional fences, not a
substitute for that prerequisite.
- Archives may be incomplete transcripts. The implementation preserves
that uncertainty and does not fabricate a successful run or completion
digest.
- No schema change, new background polling, or telemetry change.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex (GPT-6 family), with reasoning, repository tool use, and
code execution. The exact serving model ID and context window are not
exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 683fa4725e fix(evals): refresh native runtime and pin reviewed catalog repairs (#18780)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people inspect and manage their agents’ work.
> - The timeline must report canonical ownership history, and OpenCode
tool failures need bounded diagnostics.
> - The measured candidate also had independently reproduced
question-navigation and oracle defects.
> - This change promotes the reviewed production fixes and pins one
immutable, qualified source composition.
> - Original queries, model, counts, clocks, privacy controls and
qualification holds remain intact.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18775, #18777, #18779, #18711, #18713, #18718, #18699, #18798,
#18799.

**What happened?** The measured candidate predates merged native-runtime
fixes and contains fixture defects. The timeline omitted recorded
reassignment/removal history. Finish-input errors lacked a closed
correlation and shape witness.

**Expected behavior:** project recorded ownership transitions without
inventing facts, distinguish successful native execution from failed
verification steps, and retain content-free finish diagnostics.

**Steps to reproduce:** repeat an unchanged assignee while editing
another field; then reassign or unassign it. Only recorded transitions
should appear. Invalid OpenCode finish input should produce a correlated
rejection witness without values or schema text.

Related #18699 adds gated company OTLP diagnostics. This change uses the
existing local callback; it adds no exporter or capture policy.

## What Changed

- Promote canonical timeline creation, reassignment and removal
projection from #18777. Initial child ownership requires a recorded
fresh-creation receipt; delegation requires a readable recorded parent.
Unknown legacy facts fail closed. User actors/owners require active
company membership; agent actors/targets must exist in that company.
Spans, events and edges share that admission filter. Remove the
introduced all-history absence query and use guarded indexed UUID
lookups.
- Add the shared/OpenAPI `unassigned` event kind, preserving newer main
contracts and issue-route/service code through reviewed semantic joins.
Existing UI consumers remain generic; no new visual marker is claimed.
- Add bounded OpenCode finish diagnostics: schema digest, hashed call
identity, closed shape enums and validation category. A throwing sink
does not change admission or cancellation.
- Pin immutable candidate `fd5e3b1e5a379524c0d1651ed8273e75ffd86541`,
composed from combined #18777 source
`b734393eff0d7ef85b7ad8abd556d2a66ca3a4e6` plus the reviewed MCP
diagnostic delta. It preserves actually merged #18775
`97c07d149b5670088faf15317dcf603c75e2af87` and #18779
`a352c057d475067b4fe67375f06785287dfbe0ce`, and merged runtime fixes
#18711, #18713 and #18718.
- Qualify narrative handling for adjacent repair/verification sentences,
intervening native-failure wording, and negated repair objects.
Questions, denials and hypotheticals retain their controls. Preserve
Previous question beside the qualified Entity type import; separately
restore the already-called `internalResultLink` goal helper binding.
That import is a runtime fixture repair, not a type-only change.
- Include the narrow older-baseline CI typecheck closure and causal
heartbeat test observers in the candidate. All four default typecheck
projects execute. Main already includes the protected upstream tooling
and newer heartbeat fixture, so neither is overwritten with an older
candidate file.
- Preserve all 244 identities, original queries, model, native/human
counts and clocks, including the explicit prior Studio accounting
exception. The full catalog stays on its candidate branch; the 196/244
gate and historical SDK runtime holds remain.

## Verification

The primary’s f478 retry repeated the real composer-hidden five-second
assertion (1 failure,18 passes,1 skip). Investigation established a
setup readiness gap: an outer route response can delay mounting the chat
thread beyond the assertion. The successor adds the existing real-thread
`aria-busy="false"` readiness barrier before the unchanged composer
assertion. The original120-second scenario and digest, unread,
source-link, history, and reply checks are unchanged. The full owning
browser scenario passed naturally in10.2s and with its first real chat
response held6000ms in12.0s. This synchronizes fixture setup; the
underlying AWS late-mount latency remains unproved.

**Current main gates passed:** exact head
`823dab49fcd8470140c178771e5c0c6b78725e97` has [successful normal
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41724620555),
including both required aggregates, fresh Greptile 5/5 and zero
unresolved review threads. Paperclip Review is neutral with a completed
substantive 5/5 and no actionable defect. The current optional
Superagent Security Scan is neutral/inconclusive: Security Graph context
retrieval returned HTTP503, so its assessment did not start. That result
supplies no security PASS credit. The primary source PR retains its
separate current-head gate before Root sequences normal protected
merges.

- Reviewed MCP controls: 130 on main and 129 on the older candidate.
Meaningful parent comparisons failed before implementation/correlation
correction. Controls cover actual offered schema identity, null/omitted
admission, bounded rejection categories and throwing-sink cancellation.
- Exact unchanged production postimages retain 63 Postgres/public-route
controls, nine plan controls and the focused index-plan proof. Owner
OpenAPI passes 32 controls; main’s newer contract passes 33. Earlier
setup/sandbox failures remain recorded; unchanged database controls were
not replayed.
- Narrative owner controls pass 216, retaining all prior 207 controls.
The independent peer passes 144 balanced cases; earlier 108 and 39-case
matrices remain retained. Actual consumer parent failures reproduced the
review findings before repair.
- Main’s server NoEmit passed on its protected baseline; only two pin
files changed afterward. The candidate’s prior full server and
four-project checks passed. All server/package/script/root-lock inputs
remain byte-identical; the changed Runner project’s guard passes on the
current source. Compatibility driver controls pass 47 and six owning
suites pass 82. The one explicitly reviewed Docker-only unit omission
concerns an unimported image-build feature; all four intended project
guards still execute.
- Pin/adapter/contract controls pass 47. All 242 expanded declarations,
the two legacy dispatch rows, and all 244 singleton private policies
retain their authenticated identities. Descriptor, launcher and
private-protocol bytes remain exact; declaration loading invoked zero
fixture callbacks.
- All 506 SDK input blobs match the meaningfully compiled `6abe5739`
source vector. Prior real shared/SDK builds measured declaration/map
changes and zero runtime-JavaScript changes; a compiled consumer accepts
the new kind and rejects an unknown kind. The reviewed registry remains
unchanged. Default source proof, 51 SDK controls, 20 custody controls
and 16 UI consumer controls remain qualified;
runtime/compiler/parser/Zod/canary pins and held runtime grades are
unchanged.
- The full Mac heartbeat run on prior observer source retained **58
passes / six failures in 802.78s**. Two nonassignee controls
subsequently pass focused checks. Four late timeout causes remain
unresolved locally; no flakiness/infrastructure cause or complete local
pass is claimed. [Actual AWS
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41712023737/job/126182620050)
ran this exact heartbeat file with **64 passes in 107.209s**. Its
server/package inputs are unchanged in the current narrative-only
successor. The source-identical f478 heartbeat file also passed all64
AWS tests in105.812s; source inputs remain unchanged. Current main
ordinary CI passed; the primary source PR must independently close its
latest-head ordinary CI gate.
- Historical main [run
41713049555](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41713049555)
recorded six synchronized runner-shutdown failures and cancellations;
the shutdown cause is unknown. A separate chat passive-control assertion
observed one `db.transaction` call where zero was expected. Finite local
probes passed 2+2 but did not establish a cause or late stack. No
external publication, cleanup cause, source fix or flakiness is
inferred. The primary’s separate composer-visibility CI failure also
remains an inconclusive historical result; no guessed fix is credited.
No old-head retry was used.
- Earlier UI/inbox fixture failures and the CLI startup timeout remain
historical. UI/inbox repairs are now upstream in #18799/#18798 and main
preserves those files verbatim. The CLI timeout cause remains unknown.
Broader local repository/Rust qualification is not claimed; fresh hosted
CI supplies broader coverage.
- All four actual repair merges, an exact merged-tree/diagnostic source
join, and fresh controller/source/private-policy/active-run guards
precede the ten-case TestOps measurement. No paid or model eval was
launched for this PR; the original three passes/seven failures remain
unchanged.

## Risks

The next ten-case model result is unproved. Earlier MCP timeout and
continuation-shape causes remain unknown; diagnostics provide future
evidence without relaxing validation or rewriting grades. Prior local/CI
failures are retained, including the unresolved chat assertion and local
heartbeat timeouts.

Initial ownership requires canonical in-window audit facts. Missing
legacy facts remain unknown. The additive `unassigned` contract is
synchronized across shared/OpenAPI/server consumers, with no new UI
marker.

SDK runtime holds and the broader 196/244 qualification gate remain.
Normal protected merges require fresh checks and resolved feedback; no
CODEOWNER or branch-protection bypass is authorized here.

DottaandPaperclip 0ab3ce7a03 fix(workspaces): preserve legacy recovery across storage migration (#18841)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages durable tasks and agent work through the control
plane.
> - An ephemeral web server needs existing workspace files in shared
storage.
> - Failed historical runs can still own recoverable sandbox files or
unfinished coordinator state.
> - Moving local files must preserve those obligations without replaying
the old agent turn.
> - Migration journals the exact source and fences old copyback; the
recovery owner saves verified sandbox files separately.
> - New user input can continue only after matching preservation
receipts and independent execution-stop checks.
> - Accepted results retain their finalization owner and must have its
durable workspace receipt before storage moves.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Builds on merged #18826 and #18835.

**What happened?**

Existing workspaces with failed native copyback could not migrate to
remote storage. Simply changing their storage authority would let later
recovery target a retired local directory, lose child-task attachments,
or leave a recovered task unable to accept a new turn.

**Expected behavior**

Preserve local files, exact sandbox provenance, task bindings,
checkpoints, and unresolved history. Recover surviving sandbox files
into immutable task-scoped attachments after migration, and let a new
authorized user turn use those files without replaying the old
execution.

**Steps to reproduce**

Create a terminal native run with a prepared copyback descriptor and a
retained sandbox. Migrate its local workspace, remove the old host
filesystem, recover the sandbox, and submit a new user turn. Also
exercise a child task reusing its ancestor's workspace and an expired
observed coordinator.

## What Changed

- Journal exact legacy run, task, descriptor, and unfinished coordinator
bindings during offline migration. Descriptor-free runs retain the
complete declared lease/allocation/directory identities; publication
locks and revalidates them.
- Publish a run-scoped fence that prevents automatic restart or copyback
into the retired local authority.
- Release only the exact journaled expired coordinator lease under the
offline deployment fence and locked revalidation, recording the prior
owner in recovery history. Preserve phase, checkpoint, result, and run
status.
- Save recovered sandbox files through the existing immutable snapshot
owner, retaining allocation and provider-stop checks.
- Attach recovered files using the current task's identity when a child
reuses an ancestor workspace.
- Accept matching migration and snapshot receipts for workspace-repair
admission and explicit new-user continuation. Changed coordinator
bindings and invalid receipts remain blocked.
- Require the finalizer's successful workspace_finalize operation before
moving a workspace whose accepted result has finalized copyback; the
existing owner can then finish assessment/status effects.
- Document unresolved workspace-policy, task-ownership, and
missing-provenance cases as separate owner actions that block
detachment.

## Verification

- 569 tests across migration, retained recovery, and explicit
continuation passed on ffcde13f57.
- The final saved-result follow-up passes all 75 migration tests. Four
receipt cases cover prepared copyback, a successful finalization
receipt, a missing receipt, and a failed receipt. The successful case
invokes the actual finalizer after migration and completes the existing
saved operation.
- Five real-file journeys cover a retained host, removed host,
child-task reuse, an expired observed coordinator, and a descriptor-free
run with two separate sandbox allocations. They recover sandbox files,
clear the repair blocker, admit an explicit /new user comment, reserve a
new remote workspace, and verify recovered attachment contents.
- Negative cases reject changed coordinator phase/owner, invalid
migration fences, changed source sets and allocations, mismatched
task/allocation/action receipts, malformed archives, and unfinished
snapshot operations. Descriptor-free continuation requires every
journaled source; one missing archive keeps the hold.
- Twelve PostgreSQL/S3 and maintenance-service tests pass on the exact
final rebuilt runtime, including a plain-Node bundled process,
authenticated original-key export, overlapping task-folder restore, and
complete predecessor filesystem removal. The final server and runtime
bundle builds also pass.
- Head 9ab6a38fa4 passed all 573
migration/recovery/continuation tests, server typecheck, server build,
runtime bundle, and 12 PostgreSQL/S3/bundled-maintenance tests.
- Verification caught an expired-owner continuation rejection (160
recovery cases passed, one failed); the admission fix and subsequent
569-test run passed. Earlier fixture failures and the parent PR's
unrelated full-suite failure remain documented in their verification
history.
- Greptile and Paperclip Review both scored final head
fa58d4a5ce 5/5, with no remaining
findings.
- CI exposed 15 blocker-read projection regressions: descriptor-free
checks performed an extra full run read for ordinary unmigrated tasks.
The follow-up gates the lookup on the migration marker, includes that
marker in the bounded blocker projection, and selects only recovery
fields. All 31 blocker-projection and real-file journey cases plus
server typecheck pass. Final-head CI passed all 52 successful checks,
including repository typecheck, build, server tests, and browser suites.
- Preserved CI failure: the unchanged Runner package had one Cursor
Cloud Stop/checkpoint timing failure (4,903 cases passed). All four
focused local cases passed. Retrying only the failed job and its
verification gate passed without source changes.
- This PR does not claim tenant enrollment or a hosted rolling-deploy
result.

## Risks

Cloud must stop every predecessor deployment before enabling the offline
migration contract. Migration preserves uncertain work; it does not
certify provider termination, invent a completed result, or authorize
sandbox deletion. Missing or ambiguous sources remain held. Preserved
attachments are separate files rather than an automatic merge into newer
task edits. Parallel shared-write policy, stale task ownership, missing
task provenance, and accepted results without a successful finalization
receipt remain enrollment blockers. Original folders and the original
volume remain retained.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository tools, and code
execution. This session does not expose a more specific serving model ID
or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 451d06e2fc fix: resume interrupted Runner preparation and confirm failure report delivery (#18853)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work.
> - The server owns run recovery and task continuation after a restart.
> - A shutdown can interrupt Runner preparation before any provider work starts.
> - Workspace recovery can save the files but leave that task behind a legacy execution hold.
> - Retry then accepts a request without starting a successor. Startup also leaves the task blocked.
> - This pull request verifies the interrupted preparation, preserves its files, and admits one bounded continuation.
> - It also keeps a dropped Sentry capture eligible for a later report.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A hosted task remained blocked after a graceful server shutdown interrupted Runner preparation. Its remote workspace was recovered. Retry returned an accepted request, but no successor started. Startup did not resume it. The task also had no matching Sentry event.

The recovery cause is verified. The exact cause of the missing historical Sentry event is unknown. A separate regression with the real Sentry SDK proves that processing backpressure can drop a capture while the task cache marks it as reported forever.

**Expected behavior**

Retry must continue eligible interrupted work from its saved workspace. Startup must schedule one bounded retry when durable evidence proves that no provider started. A later task read must be able to retry an unconfirmed Sentry report.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Interrupt Runner preparation during a server shutdown before native runtime selection.
2. Retain and recover its remote workspace under the legacy recovery hold.
3. Press Retry, or restart after file recovery has completed.
4. Observe that the task remains blocked without a successor.

For the reporting case, hold the first Sentry event in its asynchronous enrichment step. Fill the SDK processing buffer. Capture a second task failure, release the first event, and read the second failed task again later.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced against source commit `4d31588dea`. The hosted incident served `6ef37398c8d799c5142a3a6590ecc70ad352b663`.

**Deployment mode**

Hosted Linux server with remote workspaces and external PostgreSQL. Local regressions use the source checkout on macOS arm64, Node 26.4.0, PostgreSQL 17.10, and the audited optional Sentry SDK 10.71.0.

Related public changes: #18541 added task-state failure reports. #18678 retained remote exports before Retry. #18803 fenced remote workspace writers before continuation.

The small backend-port fixture correction follows #18739. It is included here because the same existing setup defect blocked CI.

## What Changed

- Verify pre-native shutdown interruption against the immutable adapter claim, controller ownership, run events, native records, stopped leases, and exact workspace recovery receipts.
- Retire only the server's unchanged bootstrap failure block. Admit explicit Retry through the existing continuation path.
- Discover completed workspace recovery at startup and schedule one retry under the existing failure budget. Let saved input own its continuation.
- Apply the existing safe replacement dispatch checks to preparation retries. A later human block, competing execution, dependency, pause, approval, or budget gate must still prevent dispatch.
- Keep execution evidence available through the bounded run projection.
- Confirm Sentry task-report delivery from a successful SDK HTTP response. Keep unconfirmed captures pending for 60 seconds before a later task read can retry them. Both caches remain bounded and start no timer.
- Document recovery and report delivery semantics.
- Align existing handoff/budget assertions with the guarded preparation retry reason. Keep the owned-runtime fixture outside reserved proxy ports, with bounded allocation attempts.

## Verification

- Red before the recovery fix: all three new Retry/startup cases failed because no successor was created. Green after the fix: all three passed with real saved workspace archives and PostgreSQL.
- The pre-merge revision passes all 384 tests in the six affected recovery, run-control, run-state, retry, and dispatch suites.
- The late-block regression failed before its repair. Its four focused recovery/dispatch cases then passed, including final dispatch cancellation.
- Review found a second stop check that still rejected verified local and lease-free preparation. Both new cases failed before that repair. All 17 interrupted-preparation regressions passed on the pre-merge revision.
- The Sentry regression failed with the real SDK before the fix. All 91 affected reporting tests then passed. The transport stays in memory. No test sends events to Sentry.
- Full repository typecheck passed with `node scripts/typecheck-low-memory.mjs`. The full `pnpm build` and module boundary check passed.
- CI found untyped delivery-hook parameters when the optional Sentry SDK was absent. Explicit callback types fix that build. The SDK-absent server build and all 91 SDK-present reporting tests pass.
- Server typecheck passes with the SDK installed and the real Sentry SDK contract CI job passes. Greptile reviewed the pre-merge commit `103e175c44` at 5/5 with no open findings.
- The local full-suite attempt initially overlapped the rebase and stopped at test-line selection. Its unchanged-head rerun passed the first 309-test chat shard. I stopped the old-head run before applying review fixes. Current-head CI owns the remaining full-suite verification.
- CI exposed two old retry-reason expectations. The handoff and retry-budget checks pass with the new guarded reason. A separate existing process-adoption fixture chose port 42953 in the reserved 42000–42999 proxy range. The fixture now rejects reserved ports, following #18739. Its real process/adoption/termination test passes locally.
- The final Runner package job [initially failed](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41718507919/job/126205912033) one unchanged Codex credential case after it could not acquire its port quorum, then timed out. The complete unchanged 42-case credential suite passes locally. One unchanged CI retry passed; the original competing port owner was not identified. No Runner implementation or credential test was changed.
- Required CI passes on `103e175c4490e1bdf804c64a8635b0e4568545ae`, including `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e`. That revision has Greptile 5/5 with no open findings. The optional Paperclip Review check on that earlier head remained queued, waiting for its assigned agent.
- Merged current `master` without replacing published commits. The retry gate retains both shutdown interruption checks and the new workspace preparation timeout policy. All 311 tests in the five combined recovery, retry scheduling, completion, and native startup suites passed after the conflict resolution. Server typecheck passed. Final head `005d380b00d45a2393c4a2a190eab27611168d3c` includes the next conflict-free master update. All 17 interrupted-preparation regressions passed again on that final head. Greptile reviewed that exact head at 5/5 with no new findings. Required CI passes on that exact head, including `ci / verify`, `ci / e2e`, typecheck, build, the full test shards, and the real Sentry SDK isolation check. The optional Paperclip Review remains queued, waiting for its assigned agent; it is not a required branch check.
- On the final head, six test jobs were cancelled after their spot runners received shutdown signals at the same time. Another server shard passed 2,419 tests, but its unchanged 103-record cleanup backlog case exceeded the 15-second limit. The unchanged full cleanup suite then passed all 29 tests locally. One unchanged retry of only the seven unsuccessful jobs passed. The [original cancellation and timeout logs](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41724898038/attempts/1) remain in the workflow history. No cleanup implementation or test was changed.
- The signed-in hosted UI reproduced the failed Retry before the fix. The fixed path is covered through the real HTTP Retry route and assembled heartbeat/recovery services. This PR has not been deployed to the hosted incident. A live repaired Retry remains unverified until rollout.

## Risks

- Automatic continuation must not repeat provider work. It requires positive preparation evidence and rejects retained provider, process-launch, coordinator, result, live-controller, unsafe lease, or mismatched workspace evidence.
- Repeated recovery calls must create one successor. Tests cover concurrent requests, repeated startup visits, pending Retry, retry exhaustion, and changed task ownership.
- Sentry delivery state stays local to the process. A restart or cache eviction can report a failure again. An unconfirmed event needs a later task read to retry.
- No schema or API contract changes are required.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex. This session does not expose a more specific deployment ID or context window size. Reasoning, code editing, test execution, and browser diagnostics assisted the change.

DottaandPaperclip 2920d88034 fix: preserve cancelled runs through native finalization (#18857)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents that do work.
> - Native runs can accept a result before workspace file finalization
ends.
> - A user can Stop the run while file finalization is still pending.
> - The direct finalizer replaced that cancelled run with the earlier
provider status.
> - The restart projection already preserves a cancelled run.
> - This pull request preserves cancellation in the direct projection
too.
> - Saved results and normal task decisions remain available.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

An accepted successful result can wait for workspace finalization. If
run-only Stop completes first, the run and its source wake become
cancelled. Late finalization then changed the run to succeeded, cleared
the cancellation error, and replaced its finish time. The wake remained
cancelled.

**Expected behavior**

Preserve the winning run cancellation, finish time, errors and audited
acknowledgement. Keep the accepted provider result and complete file
finalization. The server task arbiter still decides task status from the
accepted result. A valid result can finish the task even though the
execution was stopped.

**Steps to reproduce**

Accept a native result through the control-plane port. Hold an actual
workspace-finalization operation. Stop the run through the heartbeat
service with a board request identity. Release the operation and call
the direct finalizer. The new database regression exercises this
sequence.

Related work: #18804 settles exact claimed native wakes. This change
preserves a wake that Stop already cancelled. #15212 and #12301 address
the opposite race in legacy cancellation. They do not change this native
finalizer projection.

## What Changed

- Evaluate run status and errors against the current locked database
row. Preserve a cancelled run when a late accepted result finishes
finalization or when workspace/status-decision retries exhaust. Merge
finalization failure metadata into the current row so concurrent
receipts survive.
- Keep finalization receipts and accepted results. Preserve existing
server task-arbiter behavior and accounting fields.
- Add real database tests for successful and failed accepted results,
delayed workspace work, and Stop after the task decision but before run
projection.
- Check cancelled wakes, audited acknowledgement, no successor, restart
projection and idle recovery. Update execution documentation.

## Verification

- Before the production change, the actual producer sequence failed: the
cancelled run became succeeded, its error code became null, and its
finish time advanced. This failure remains saved privately.
- The focused projection, cancellation-request and Stop-accounting
suites pass all 67 tests. These include the same delayed-finalization
sequence, both task status orderings, and complete and late accounting
receipts without another provider turn.
- Independent review found a second terminal writer in retry exhaustion.
On the unchanged previous head, two real database cases changed a
cancelled run to failed or succeeded after workspace or status-decision
retries. A third case let actual board Stop win after the permanent
workspace failure admission snapshot and still changed cancelled to
failed. All three now pass. Existing uncancelled exhaustion controls
still pass. No mock supplied the canonical cancellation state.
- Initial review found that routine regression notes do not belong in
the feature maps. Both map additions were removed. Production and test
code are unchanged by that correction.
- Runner TypeScript build and all server typecheck layers pass. Map,
module-boundary and diff checks pass.
- An additional direct typecheck of the normally excluded projection
fixture reports two existing notification mocks whose transaction
parameter is typed as `object`. The same check with the previous test
file reports the same two errors. The new regression cases add no type
errors. The standard server typecheck remains green.
- The previous head passed required CI after one targeted retry of jobs
that received the same runner shutdown signal. Those original failures
remain recorded. The exhaustion correction passes fresh required CI on
exact head `84404d34b9d982d8bca24b63ae2046051f5169b8` (workflow
41726120483, attempt 1). Both required aggregate gates pass. Greptile
reviewed this head at 5/5 with no new comments; all review threads are
resolved. An independent source review found no blocking issue in the
correction. Runner TypeScript and all server typecheck layers pass
locally; the exact production server and Runner build passes with the
server stamp bound to `84404d34b9d982d8bca24b63ae2046051f5169b8`. The
full required CI workflow passes.
- This is local fixture evidence. It does not establish hosted recovery,
a remote provider stop, or a deployed version.

## Risks

- Accepted result finalization can still finish the task after run-only
Stop. This is existing server policy; cancelled run API write authority
stays revoked.
- The fix protects cancelled execution history. It does not invent
provider termination, saved-file or accounting proof.
- No schema, endpoint, retry budget, provider call or new background
worker changes.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol`, Extra High reasoning. The model used code
execution, repository tools and test output. The host does not expose
the context window size.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip b0c4e34526 fix(native): resume from the owner after an unstarted failed follow-up (#18860)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native Runner sessions keep one conversation across task turns.
> - A follow-up turn resumes from the newest earlier run that holds a
provider checkpoint.
> - A follow-up can fail during admission, before provider work, and
still hold the checkpoint that it inherited.
> - A later Retry then resumes from that failed run. Controller recovery
finds no controller checkpoint there and fails.
> - This pull request makes resume source selection skip a failed
follow-up that proves that it never started provider work.
> - The benefit is that a board Retry resumes from the last committed
owner, and the task can continue.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18846, which lets a follow-up start after a recovered per-turn
owner. Refs #18854 (same-run retry of failures before provider work) and
#18718 (controller projection refresh).

**What happened?**

Run 1 was a per-turn remote sandbox run. Recovery committed its result,
but it saved no Runner suspension receipt. Run 2 was a follow-up that
was admitted before #18846. Admission failed with
`runner_state_identity_mismatch:
prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate`, before any provider work. Run
2 has these properties:

- Status `failed`, and the result has `executionRecovery: { kind:
"bootstrap", providerWorkStarted: false }`.
- The coordinator is `terminal_failure`, with no result, no lease owner,
and no controller process.
- No controller checkpoint rows and no controller recovery pointer.
- A `sessionCheckpoint` bound to run 2 with a null cursor. The provider
session in it is copied from run 1.

A board Retry then started run 3. Resume source selection treats any
checkpoint as a progress barrier, so it selected run 2. Controller
recovery then failed with
`native_controller_recovery_unsupported:metadata_format`, because run 2
has no controller recovery pointer. The task stayed blocked. Every later
Retry selects the newest failed follow-up and fails the same way.

**Expected behavior**

A Retry must resume from the last committed owner (run 1) when the newer
follow-up provably never started provider work. If the follow-up might
have started provider work, or holds its own controller evidence, it
must stay the source.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Commit a per-turn remote owner through recovery, without a suspension
receipt.
2. Admit a follow-up, and make its admission fail with
`prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate`.
3. Settle that follow-up as a failed bootstrap: `providerWorkStarted:
false`, `terminal_failure`, and no result.
4. Admit a Retry. It selects the failed follow-up and fails with
`native_controller_recovery_unsupported:metadata_format`.

The new regression test runs these steps against PostgreSQL.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `909d86b59a`.

**Deployment mode**

Native Runner with a per-turn lifecycle on the built-in remote sandbox
transport. Source selection is shared by all native providers.

## What Changed

- `findNativeSessionResumeRun` skips a newest barrier that is an
unstarted inherited follow-up and selects again without it. The selector
repeats this inside the existing 32-run window.
- A run is skipped only when all of these are true:
- It is a native run with status `failed` and a `bootstrap` receipt with
`providerWorkStarted: false`.
- Its coordinator is `terminal_failure`, with no result, lease owner, or
controller process.
- It has no process identity, provider event, controller checkpoint row,
run result row, or controller recovery pointer.
- Its checkpoint is bound to this run and session, and it has no cursor.
- After the skips, every skipped run must name the same backend, driver,
and provider session as the selected source. Otherwise the selector
returns the original barrier.
- Runtime selection and controller recovery both call this selector.
Both now use the committed owner. Admission then reaches the #18846
path, which retires the old authority and starts a new Runner.
- Add four cases to `native-recovered-owner-followup.test.ts`, with one
negative control for each guard.
- Document the rule in `doc/execution-semantics.md` and the test in
`doc/testing-native-remote-continuity.md`.

### Why source selection

- Source selection made the wrong choice. The failed follow-up has no
provider progress. Its checkpoint is a copy, and the provider never saw
its turn.
- One shared selector feeds runtime selection (checkpoint rebind,
previous turn, runner instance) and controller recovery. A fix in only
one of them would let them disagree about the source.
- Controller recovery keeps its rule: it never searches backward when
the selected run is incomplete. The selector skips a run only with
positive proof, so an incomplete run with any evidence of work still
stops recovery.
- A fix in the executor could not help. The executor sees only the
source that the selector gives it.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-recovered-owner-followup.test.ts`: 22
tests pass.
- Before the change, the two new retry tests failed with
`native_controller_recovery_unsupported:metadata_format`.
- After the change, the retry selects the committed owner and is
admitted. It is also admitted after two failed follow-ups.
- Eight controls keep the failed follow-up as the source: process
identity, provider event, controller checkpoint row, a receipt with
`providerWorkStarted: true`, a coordinator with a controller process, a
run result row, a different provider session, and a non-null cursor.
- I disabled each guard in turn. Each change made its matching control
fail.
- These suites pass: native session resume, resume projection,
controller recovery (unit and integration), native startup retry,
runtime selection, execution workspace service, native status corpus,
task workspace binding, and all 1,088 native executor tests. The
container and Runner binary cases skip locally.
- Server typecheck, `node scripts/typecheck-low-memory.mjs`, `pnpm
check:module-boundaries`, and `git diff --check` pass.
- I did not run the full `pnpm test:run`, `pnpm build`, or the opt-in
Linux Runner container cases locally. CI runs them.
- The tests start at the selector and executor admission. They do not
exercise the Retry route, the task retry queue, or a live sandbox
provider.

## Risks

- A wrong skip could resume from an older checkpoint. Each guard
requires positive evidence of no provider work. A skipped run must also
name the same provider session as the selected source. If any check
fails, the selector returns the original barrier.
- Only `failed` runs qualify. Cancelled, interrupted, and timed-out runs
keep their existing handling.
- The skip adds one proof query per candidate. It runs only when the
newest barrier is a failed native run whose checkpoint is bound to
itself and has no cursor.
- The rebind now uses the owner's tool-contract fingerprint. If the tool
contract changed since the owner ran, the Retry starts a new provider
session. The provider history in this failure mode is already
unavailable.
- No migration or configuration change is required.

## Model Used

- Anthropic Claude Opus 5.5 (model ID `claude-opus-5-5`) in Claude Code,
with extended thinking, repository tools, shell and code execution, and
local test runs. The runtime does not expose the context window size.

DottaandPaperclip 0a1e4c3d0f fix(workspaces): retry pristine remote setup timeouts (#18852)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A remote task needs a workspace before its model can start.
> - Fresh workspace preparation can reach its transport deadline.
> - Failure handling records that timeout as a generic setup failure and
stops the task.
> - An unpublished workspace has no saved task work to repeat.
> - This change routes that narrow failure through the existing bounded
retry scheduler.
> - Saved work, retained executions, and normal admission gates keep
their existing protection.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18827, which preserves remote timeout diagnostics. This change
builds on that merged repair. Related #16727 concerns controller-managed
clones and optional partial clones; this change keeps remote clone
contents and deadlines unchanged.

**What happened?**

A fresh remote workspace reached its 300-second command limit before
model execution. The task then stopped with `setup_failed` and no
scheduled continuation. A separate full clone completed in 137 seconds
on a disposable Daytona sandbox. The original delay remains unexplained.
This change repairs the missing recovery path; it does not claim to
remove the underlying delay.

**Expected behavior**

A fresh, unpublished workspace preparation timeout can use the existing
two automatic retries. Retry scheduling remains durable and company
scoped. Stop, pause, dependencies, budgets, task ownership, saved work,
and retained native execution must still prevent unsafe work.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start preparation for a fresh remote workspace with no saved version
or published allocation.
2. Make its initial directory/clone command return a transport timeout.
3. Observe that the base code records a generic setup failure without
bounded recovery.
4. With this change, the owner validates current workspace authority and
preserves a specific bootstrap failure for the normal retry scheduler.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Base: `e0276e0166`, including #18827.

**Deployment mode**

Native Paperclip Runner with sandbox workspace storage. Verification
uses real PostgreSQL, filesystem commands, and a separate live Daytona
transport probe.

## What Changed

- Recognize only the initial preparation timeout while the same company,
writer, and epoch still own a pristine workspace.
- Keep restore, additional repository, provisioning, save, changed
ownership, dirty workspace, and retained native execution failures
outside this recovery policy.
- Persist the typed failure before using the existing retry scheduler,
admission gates, and attempt budget.
- After successful terminal lease cleanup, reclaim an unpublished
bootstrap-only reservation even when a provider returns no stop receipt.
Preserve receipt requirements for saved/published work, unknown
execution, and native identities; do not synthesize termination
evidence.
- Prevent generic recovery from granting another budget after
exhaustion. Keep a specific recovery notice.
- Add regressions for persistence, concurrent scheduling, restart,
exhaustion, Stop, pause, dependencies, fresh allocation, lost replies,
and saved output after cold restoration.
- Document the recovery contract.

## Verification

- Red: the real-PostgreSQL workspace regression first failed because the
timeout had no recovery classification. The completion regression then
failed because it became `setup_failed`. A retained-native negative
failed before the admission guard. The review follow-up reproduced a
failed successor reservation after production lease release returned
void.
- Green: all 127 transport/archive/real-PostgreSQL workspace cases pass
after the review repair. All 12 receipt/void handoff cases pass against
the final query. The 141 complete completion/retry/recovery cases and
the fresh-allocation selection case pass. Safety cases cover concurrent
scheduling across restart, the two-attempt cap, Stop/pause/dependency
gates, native identities, saved/published files, active leases, failed
cleanup, and cold-restored output.
- `node scripts/typecheck-low-memory.mjs` and `pnpm build` pass at
`ba96cff771707415e4a5e893c8b3a97499ead25b`. `git diff --check` and the
module-boundary check pass. The full local test wrapper completed all
1,835 chat cases across six partitions, then was interrupted during its
serial general-server phase after the complete current-head CI suite
passed. Its interrupted run is not a full local-suite pass; its log is
retained. The owned process tree and database children exited.
- The [complete GitHub Actions
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41718108375)
is successful at this exact head, including all server/workspace/chat
partitions, all nine serialized groups, all eight browser shards, build,
typecheck, native Runner, package, Rust, and release-policy checks. The
first Rust worker shut down during cache restore before tests; one retry
passed without source changes. Expected Storybook skips remain skips.
- Earlier failures remain accounted for: the first typecheck found two
incomplete process-result fixtures, now corrected. An intermediate
completion run exposed a test double that returned no promise and a
teardown timeout; the complete 141-case suites subsequently passed. The
first-head CI had four worker shutdowns and one worker communication
loss. A three-second monitor settlement wait failed in CI and locally,
then all 21 cases passed unchanged at base and head. An earlier CI retry
found a real-process history adoption assertion failure; that exact case
passed locally at base and head. Both server groups pass in final-head
CI. These timing causes remain unknown. [Earlier CI
evidence](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41713712522).
- Live supporting evidence: unchanged production preparation code
completed a full repository clone in 137 seconds using Daytona SDK
0.203.0, Node 24.22.2, Git 2.39.5, and Linux x86_64, with 1 CPU, 1 GiB
memory, and 1 GiB disk. The approved diagnostic account could not access
the original fleet snapshot, so the probe used public
`node:24-bookworm`. Both probe allocations were deleted and absence
verified. Full task acceptance at the fixed revision remains unverified:
the original fleet snapshot and an explicitly configured disposable
Codex subscription fixture were unavailable. No CLI login or hosted
subscription was copied.
- Greptile is 5/5 at the final head with no actionable findings. The
Paperclip review finding is repaired, replied to, and resolved. The
separate **Paperclip Review** check remains queued. Its task failed
workspace export after publishing the first assessment; the staging
service was then observed showing a workspace recovery page after an
update failure. Subsequent browser rechecks timed out, including a fresh
tab, so the normal recovery control could not be used. Reconcile that
existing export after service access returns, then let the saved
current-head review request run. That external review is the remaining
check; this PR is not yet fully green.
- The original hosted task was last verified blocked. This PR has not
been deployed and the task has not been retried by this work.

Reviewers can run `pnpm test:run`, `node
scripts/typecheck-low-memory.mjs`, and `pnpm build`. The
remote-workspace integration suite additionally needs an owned
disposable PostgreSQL database named `remote_workspace_*test` through
`PAPERCLIP_REMOTE_WORKSPACE_TEST_DATABASE_URL`; otherwise that suite is
skipped.

## Risks

Each retry keeps the existing preparation deadline, so persistent slow
clones can consume the bounded budget before intervention. A retry
receives fresh allocation admission; it does not replay the command
against the old allocation. The workspace owner checks persisted
authority before classifying the failure, and normal admission still
rechecks that authority. Historical generic setup failures do not gain
automatic replay. No database migration, provider-pack update, model
fallback, credential change, or deployment is included.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and browser tools. The host does not expose a more specific
serving model ID or context-window size.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 909d86b59a fix(native): retry runs that fail before provider work (#18854)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native runs start the provider through Runner. `session.open` starts
the provider session before any prompt.
> - When `session.open` fails, the server records the generic
`native_session_interrupted`. Recovery evidence then reports
`ambiguous_state`, so the first failure blocks the task with no
automatic retry.
> - The failure is often temporary. On one instance an agent's provider
account hit its usage limit. For about 14 hours every later run failed
at `session.open`, and 47 tasks stayed blocked. Outside limit windows,
the same error also occurs once and a later retry succeeds.
> - The server already has a bounded same-run bootstrap retry for
failures that are proven to come before provider work. It did not
recognize this failure, and it did not consider a known provider limit.
> - This pull request classifies a definite `session.open` failure as a
pre-session failure. Bootstrap retries back off and wait out a known
provider limit. The task is blocked only after the shared budget is
used, with a clear reason.
> - The benefit is that a temporary startup failure or a provider limit
no longer strands tasks on the first failure, and every existing replay
guard stays in force.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18847. That pull request keeps the provider cause on
`session.open` rejections and names typed categories (for example
`classification=provider_rate_limit`). This change does not depend on
it. With #18847, a typed limit at `session.open` uses the same cooldown
path, because the server reads the cause with
`providerFailureFromError`. Refs #18622, which added the
`ProviderFailure` cause. Refs #13993, an open change about legacy
adapter startup backoff; it does not touch the native recovery path.

**What happened?**

A native run (`paperclip_runner`) failed at `session.open` before any
prompt: `ACPX sidecar command session.open was rejected
(retryable=false, classification=session_ensure_failed)`. The server
recorded `native_session_interrupted`. Recovery evidence had no
checkpoint and no provider event, but the cause was not in the
pre-session list, so the mode was `ambiguous_state`. The coordinator
went to `terminal_failure`, a board-owned `active_run_watchdog` action
was created, and the task was set to `blocked` on the first failure.
During a provider usage limit, every later run of the agent failed the
same way, so each task was blocked.

**Expected behavior**

A run that provably failed before provider work retries automatically,
with backoff and a bounded budget. If the agent has a known provider
limit, the retry waits for the cooldown. The task is blocked only when
the budget is used, and the recovery action explains why. A run where
provider work may have started is never replayed.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Make Runner reject `session.open` for a native run (for example a
provider at its usage limit).
2. Observe the coordinator: `terminal_failure`, `recoveryMode:
"ambiguous_state"`, `providerSessionEstablished: false`. The task is
`blocked`.
3. The new `native-startup-retry.integration.test.ts` reproduces this
with a real database and the executor.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `5877d751c0e`.

**Deployment mode**

Native Runner with an ACPX Claude provider. The fix is in the server and
is not specific to one deployment mode.

## What Changed

- `nativeSessionFailureSourceCode` returns a new cause,
`provider_session_open_rejected`, when Runner reports that
`session.open` failed or was rejected. Those outcomes are definite, and
the command runs before any prompt. An `indeterminate` outcome stays
`native_session_interrupted`. Earlier, more specific causes (for example
a missing runtime package) keep their classification.
- `nativeProviderRecoveryEvidence` treats the new cause as pre-session.
The durable evidence still decides. A bootstrap retry happens only with
no provider session, no provider event and no checkpoint. Otherwise the
mode stays `ambiguous_state` and the task is blocked as before.
- New module `native-runtime/native-startup-retry.ts` plans each
bootstrap retry. It is called only for `bootstrap_retry` mode.
- Backoff: the existing `infrastructureRetryDelayMs` (about 30 s, then
about 60 s, plus or minus 20 %). The jitter derives from the run and
attempt, and it is persisted with `nextAttemptAt`.
- Limit cooldown: evidence is a `rate_limit` or `quota_exhausted`
provider failure on the current failure (the #18847 shape), or on an
agent run that started in the last 24 hours. A
`native_provider_usage_limit` or `provider_quota` error code also
counts. The cooldown is the provider's `retryAt` (or `retryNotBefore`),
or one hour after the failure when no reset time is known. A later
successful run of the agent clears older evidence. The cooldown is
capped at 24 hours. The retry runs after the cooldown plus the backoff
delay.
- A failed evidence read is logged and falls back to plain backoff, so
it cannot stop the failure from settling.
- The budget does not change: three provider attempts, shared with
checkpoint resumes and replacements. When it is used, the coordinator
records `native_session_retry_exhausted`. The task is blocked, and the
board-owned action says: "Provider startup failed on 3 attempts before
any provider work began. Automatic retries are stopped." When a limit is
known, the message includes the expected reset time.
- While a retry waits, the coordinator detail, the recovery action
evidence and the scheduled wake record `providerCooldownAt`. The next
action names the reset time, and the task projection shows "Retry
scheduled".
- `PROVIDER_LIMIT_DEFAULT_COOLDOWN_MS` (one hour) moves to
`system-recovery-state.ts`. The legacy provider-quota recovery default
now refers to it. The value does not change.
- A chat retry of an exhausted `provider_session_open_rejected` run is
accepted like the other pre-provider causes. The existing proofs still
apply.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md` describes the backoff, the cooldown and
the exhausted state.

## Verification

- Red: before the fix, the first new integration case failed. The
coordinator was `terminal_failure` with `recoveryMode:
"ambiguous_state"`, `originalFailureCode: "native_session_interrupted"`
and `providerSessionEstablished: false`, and the task was `blocked`.
Four more cases failed the same way. The two never-retry cases passed
before and after the fix.
- Green: `npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-startup-retry.integration.test.ts` in
`server` (embedded PostgreSQL, the real executor, and the real resume
claim). 8 cases pass:
- a rejected `session.open` is retried with backoff (attempt 1 in 24 to
36 s, attempt 2 in 48 to 72 s), and the task stays `in_progress` with an
agent-owned action and a `resume_native_run` wake;
- after three attempts the task is blocked, the action is board-owned
with the clear reason, and the resume claim refuses another attempt;
- a recent limit failure holds the retry until one hour after that
failure, and the claim refuses it before the cooldown;
- a provider reset time from an earlier run, or from the startup failure
itself, sets the cooldown;
  - a distant reset time holds the retry for at most one day;
- a later success, another agent's limit, and an expired limit do not
delay the retry;
- a durable provider event, or an indeterminate `session.open` outcome,
still blocks the task with `ambiguous_state` and no retry.
- `native-session-executor.test.ts`: all 1,087 tests pass, including a
new classification case for `failed`, `rejected`, `indeterminate` and a
different command.
- `chat-channels.integration.test.ts -t "requires terminal-safe native
ownership for an exact chat retry"`: 23 pass, including the new
`session_open` case. That case fails without the list change.
- Related suites pass: native session resumption, native provider
failure, capacity and overload integration tests, provider failure
classification, native status arbiter corpus, native restart recovery.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server` passes. `git diff --check` passes.
- [GitHub
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41713988964)
is green on head `32561aa335d`. This includes `ci / verify`, `ci / e2e`,
typecheck, build, all server, chat and workspace groups, all serialized
server suites, and all Runner checks, which run the native-runtime
server tests. In the first attempt, eleven jobs stopped because their
runners received a shutdown signal; no test reported a failure. A rerun
of those jobs passed.
- A local run of the whole `server/src/services/native-runtime`
directory was stopped before completion because it runs serially for a
long time. CI ran those files.
- Runtime dependency: the new work is one indexed query (`company_id`,
`agent_id`, `started_at`) with `LIMIT 20`. It runs only when a bootstrap
retry is planned or exhausted, not on the normal path. No new timer or
polling: the wait uses the existing persisted `nextAttemptAt` deadline
and the existing resume dispatch.
- Not verified: a live provider account at its usage limit, and a live
remote sandbox that waits through a full cooldown. The full repository
suite was not run locally; CI ran it.

## Risks

- A task that waits for a cooldown stays `in_progress` with its
execution lock, for up to one day. This is the existing same-run retry
state. Stop, reassignment, pause and an explicit Retry keep their
current behavior through the existing claim checks.
- During the wait the failed run keeps its environment lease in the same
way as any same-run retry. A remote lease with an unexported prepared
workspace is retained by the orphaned-lease sweep until the retry runs.
Other active leases of the failed run are released after the usual five
minutes, and the retry acquires a new one.
- A `rate_limit` failure without a reset time (for example a short HTTP
429) delays only startup-failure retries of that agent, by up to one
hour. Normal runs are not delayed, and a later success clears the
evidence.
- A startup failure that needs user action (for example a sign-in
failure) now uses two automatic retries, about 90 seconds in total,
before the task is blocked. Before, it was blocked at once with an
ambiguous reason.
- The agent's other queued runs are not held during a cooldown. Each one
fails at `session.open` without provider work and then waits for the
same cooldown. An agent-wide admission hold has no clean extension point
in the current queue, so it is not part of this change.
- Re-arming consumed scheduled monitors is out of scope. This change
makes it matter less: a run that consumed a monitor wake now retries
itself on the same run. A monitor that a run consumed before its retry
budget was used stays consumed.
- No schema or API change. The new error code appears on runs and in run
error codes.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 80c308f872 fix(runner): admit follow-ups after recovered per-turn owners (#18846)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native Runner sessions keep one conversation across task turns.
> - After a per-turn sandbox turn, the controller saves a Runner
suspension receipt or a failover backup.
> - A full sandbox disk can stop that save after the turn is complete.
> - Recovery then commits the result, but the controller has no proof
that the Runner suspended.
> - Each follow-up rebuilds the old controller journal from the database
and rejects it again.
> - This pull request lets admission retire that old authority when the
prior owner is provably finished.
> - The benefit is that the task continues with its saved workspace and
does not stay blocked.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18705 (checkpoint save on a full sandbox disk). Refs #18829,
#18718 and #18343 (related admission and controller recovery). Refs
#18811 (a related warm continuation wait).

**What happened?**

A per-turn native run in a remote sandbox finished its turn. The
post-turn `harness_state.backup.persist` and
`session.checkpoint.persist` steps failed because the sandbox disk was
full. The controller got no Runner suspension receipt and no failover
backup. Workspace recovery later saved the files. The run committed its
result and ended as `succeeded`. A board comment then started a
follow-up in a new sandbox. Admission failed after about two minutes
with `runner_state_identity_mismatch:
prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate`. Execution recovery then
blocked the task.

The cause is in durable-root admission.
`restorePerTurnRunnerdController` rebuilds the prior controller journal
from the database checkpoint. `verifyPriorRunnerdStateForSessionScope`
finds a terminal owner in the same scope with no suspended lifecycle and
no retained warm owner. It returns `terminal_state_indeterminate`.
Admission quarantines the root and fails. The database checkpoint does
not change, so every later admission rebuilds the same journal and fails
again.

A board Retry after that failed follow-up does not repeat the same
error. Runtime selection picks the failed follow-up as the resume
source, because it carries an inherited provider checkpoint. Controller
recovery then fails with
`native_controller_recovery_unsupported:metadata_format`. The task stays
blocked. This pull request prevents that failed follow-up. It does not
change source selection (see Risks).

**Expected behavior**

When the prior owner is provably finished, the follow-up must start. It
must keep the saved workspace. It must not start while the prior owner
can still be alive, while terminal delivery or provider cleanup is
unsettled, or while quarantine holds evidence from a different owner.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Complete a per-turn remote sandbox run. Commit its result through
recovery and release its controller lease.
2. Keep its database controller checkpoint and recovery pointer. Do not
save a suspension receipt or a failover backup.
3. Admit a follow-up in a new sandbox with no local controller
projection.
4. Admission rebuilds the old journal, quarantines it, and fails with
the error above.
5. Admit the same run again. It rebuilds the journal and fails the same
way.

The new regression test runs these steps against PostgreSQL.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `e0276e0166`.

**Deployment mode**

Native Runner with a per-turn lifecycle, the built-in remote sandbox
transport, and the ACPX provider. The admission path is the same for
other per-turn sandbox providers.

## What Changed

- Add `retireFinishedPerTurnRunnerdOwner` to durable-root admission in
`native-session-executor.ts`. It runs only when the existing verifier
returns `terminal_state_indeterminate`, and only without a restart claim
or a retained warm owner.
- The function requires all of these. Otherwise the existing quarantine
and rejection apply.
- Per-turn lifecycle on the built-in remote sandbox transport, with a
`created` or `replacement` sandbox. A resumed sandbox, a warm session,
and a plugin task keep their existing paths.
- No local Runner lifecycle evidence for the old owner. The session root
contains only known authority entries.
- A journal for that owner with its terminal delivered and only idle
goal snapshots after it. All commands are completed. Each tool input has
a completed result. No warm transition or staged attachment exists.
- A terminal prior run in the same task. Its coordinator is `committed`
with a result, has no lease owner, and has no recovery state.
- A stopped prior controller, from `evaluateNativeControllerTakeover`
with `requireStoppedController`. A durable controller is fenced by its
released database lease, as in remote warm recovery.
- Each quarantined root for the scope passes the same journal and local
Runner evidence checks for the same owner. A retry rebuilds only the
database journal, so quarantined Runner evidence must stay decisive.
- When the proof holds, the function reads the journal again, moves the
old authority into `continuity-breaks/<time>-<uuid>` in the session
root, and logs one line. The follow-up then starts a new Runner
authority. The provider session follows the existing resume-or-replace
policy.
- Share the list of continuity archive entries with provider replacement
(`archiveContinuityState`). Provider replacement behavior does not
change.
- Add `native-recovered-owner-followup.test.ts`. It uses real
PostgreSQL, a real encrypted controller checkpoint, and the production
source selector and checkpoint rebinder.
- Document the rule in `doc/execution-semantics.md` and the test in
`doc/testing-native-remote-continuity.md`.

### Design choice

I considered two approaches:

1. Start a new Runner authority for the scope at admission (this pull
request).
2. Make the recovery path that committed the prior run also settle its
Runner and controller projection.

I chose the first approach for these reasons:

- The provider history stayed in the unreachable sandbox. A settled
projection cannot make it resumable. Admission would pass, but a
replacement sandbox would then fail on the missing backup, and a new
sandbox would only try to resume a session that is gone.
- A settled receipt written by recovery would claim a suspension that
the Runner never wrote. Other checks rely on that receipt as Runner
evidence.
- Several paths can commit a result. Only runs that commit after a
settle-at-commit fix would benefit. The admission fix also unblocks
tasks that were committed before it.
- Admission already owns this decision. It already has the scope claim,
the journal, and the database rows.

### Safety argument

- **No live prior owner.** The coordinator has no lease owner, and the
controller must be proven stopped. The follow-up runs in a different
sandbox than the old Runner. A resumed sandbox keeps the existing path,
which reads the old Runner's own lifecycle there.
- **No unsettled terminal delivery or effects.** The controller
acknowledged the terminal and completed every command, including the
suspend command. Every tool input has an answer, and the coordinator
committed the result. The unreadable Runner outbox can then hold only
post-terminal telemetry.
- **No unsettled cleanup.** Any local Runner receipt, including an
unsuspended one, keeps the hold. A coordinator recovery state keeps the
hold.
- **No ambiguous quarantine.** A quarantined root from a different owner
keeps the hold. A quarantined root with Runner lifecycle evidence,
unknown entries, or an unsettled journal also keeps the hold.
- **No lost evidence.** The move keeps the old authority in the session
root. Existing retention expires it like other continuity breaks. A
journal change during the database reads cancels the move.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-recovered-owner-followup.test.ts`: 12
tests pass.
- Before the change, the four admission tests failed with the exact
error above. This includes a re-admission that rebuilt the journal from
the database and failed again.
- After the change, `created` and `replacement` sandboxes are admitted.
A re-admission is admitted. A task with an earlier quarantined copy of
the same owner is admitted.
- Eight controls keep the hold: uncommitted result, live controller
lease, unexpired controller lease, recovery state, pending command,
unanswered tool input, a different owner in quarantine, and an
unsuspended Runner receipt in quarantine after a retry rebuilds the
root.
- I disabled each new guard in turn. Each change made its matching
control fail.
- An exploratory run of the same fixture before the change answered the
Retry question above. The second follow-up selected the failed follow-up
as its source and failed with
`native_controller_recovery_unsupported:metadata_format`.
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts`: all 1,087
tests pass.
- Related suites pass: `task-workspace-binding`,
`native-controller-recovery` (unit and integration),
`native-harness-backup-expiration`, `native-session-resume`, and the
restart and diskless integration suites. Their container and Runner
binary cases skip locally.
- `node scripts/typecheck-low-memory.mjs`, `pnpm
check:module-boundaries`, and `git diff --check` pass.
- CI passes at `879bb6a5c7`. Two attempts lost jobs when CI runners
received a shutdown signal; the third attempt passed every job.
- I did not run the full `pnpm test:run`, `pnpm build`, or the opt-in
Linux Runner container cases locally. CI runs them.
- I did not test a live sandbox provider or a live model. I could not
inspect the original checkpoint contents. If a stranded run's journal
does not show a delivered terminal and completed commands, its follow-up
stays held.

## Risks

- A follow-up after this path cannot use the lost provider history. The
provider session then follows the existing resume-or-replace policy, and
the task context comes from Paperclip. A checkpoint that requires the
same session, such as an unfinished goal, still fails at provider
recovery.
- Post-terminal Runner telemetry in the lost outbox, such as a late
usage report, stays lost. It cannot carry a workspace effect.
- A task that already has a failed follow-up from this error can still
be blocked on a board Retry. Source selection picks that failed run and
fails with `native_controller_recovery_unsupported:metadata_format`.
This pull request does not change source selection. A same-run retry of
the failed follow-up is admitted.
- The change is limited to per-turn runs on the built-in sandbox
transport. Warm sessions, plugin tasks, resumed sandboxes, and restart
recovery do not change.
- No migration or configuration change is required.

## Model Used

- Anthropic Claude Opus 5.5 (model ID `claude-opus-5-5`) in Claude Code,
with extended thinking, repository tools, shell and code execution, and
local test runs. The runtime does not expose the context window size.

DottaandPaperclip da77c1bcfa fix(runner): align ordinary document key contracts (#18824)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents that do work.
> - Native agents use tools to read and write task documents.
> - A document key is a stable identifier. The service trims it and
converts it to lowercase before it checks the key.
> - The tool schemas accepted filenames and long keys that the service
rejects.
> - This pull request makes ordinary document tool schemas match the
existing service contract.
> - Agents can now see the key rules before they call the tools.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The schemas for `read_document`, `write_document`, and
`list_document_revisions` accepted `reconciliation.md` and keys longer
than 64 characters after normalization. The task document service
rejects these values. The descriptions did not explain that the key is
an identifier rather than a filename.

**Expected behavior**

The model catalog and the live and scenario tool definitions must
describe the existing document key rules. Values accepted after trimming
and conversion to lowercase must remain compatible. Historical
case-document keys use a separate contract.

**Steps to reproduce**

Validate `{ "key": "reconciliation.md" }` against the previous
`read_document` schema. It passes. Call the document service with that
key. It rejects the key before it reads the database. The added
regression repeats this comparison for all three tools.

## What Changed

- Apply the same document-key pattern to `read_task_document` and
`write_task_document` at the API bridge. Keep their existing raw-input
limit of 100 characters; ordinary tools keep 120. Export the shared
schema through the existing Runner package and server vendor boundary.
Route permissions, normalization and document locks stay with their
current owners.

- Add one shared schema for ordinary task-document keys. Keep the
existing 120-character raw input cap and the 64-character normalized
identifier limit.
- Preserve uppercase input, ECMAScript trim whitespace, and the Kelvin
sign, which converts to ASCII `k`.
- Apply the schema to the model catalog and the three live and scenario
definitions. Regenerate the catalogs, seeded fixture identity, and
fixture manifest.
- Test schema parity against the real task document service. Keep
historical case keys and the backend validator unchanged.

## Verification

- Current-head required CI is green at
`e67d3f1f49393660f0c70b3d1d136e6f86af821d`: 56 successful checks, four
intentional skips, and two neutral checks. [CI attempt
2](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41715924252)
passed after one targeted rerun of five jobs interrupted by the same
runner shutdown; the original interruption is retained. Fresh Greptile
and Paperclip reviews are both 5/5 with no unresolved review threads.
Hosted recovery remains unverified until automatic deployment and
replay.

- Normal master refresh to `e67d3f1f49393660f0c70b3d1d136e6f86af821d`
includes the already merged external-object startup fixture correction.
The previous required canary failed downloading
`mdast-util-gfm-table@2.0.1` with npm E404; later registry metadata and
tarball HEAD both returned 200. A separate general shard failed the
ten-thousand-future-objects startup assertion. Both original failures
remain recorded; neither was bypassed or retried. At the refreshed
baseline, 122 document/bridge cases and the exact large-object startup
case pass locally. Six document cases skip by platform. Fresh required
CI and reviews must pass on this head.

- The current-head Paperclip review found the same mismatch in the
task-scoped bridge. Before the correction, the real advertised schemas
failed 22 parity cases while 87 controls passed. After the correction
and a normal master refresh, the document-key and bridge suites pass 122
cases, with six platform-specific skips. The tests compare advertised
JSON Schema, runtime Zod validation, and the actual normalized document
service. They retain the bridge raw 100/101 boundary and historical
case-key controls.
- Runner TypeScript build, all server typecheck layers, and the actual
production Runner and server build pass. The final server build stamp
binds commit `80c880709c5f5630799fb8a48d54ff11ebc16610`. Full
current-head CI and fresh review are required after the correction. The
earlier CI run was externally cancelled and rerun; its cancellation
remains recorded.

- The regression failed in 33 of 64 cases before the fix. The remaining
cases passed as controls.
- The fixed regression passes all 67 cases, including every ECMAScript
trim character.
- The four focused Runner contract suites pass: 116 tests. They cover
all three tool surfaces and existing case behavior.
- Generated catalogs and manifest checks pass. Module-boundary and diff
checks pass.
- All server production typecheck layers pass. The test layer passes
after correcting the new test’s Ajv import. The full production server
and Runner build passes at a3e6191590.
- Full repository checks run in required CI. No hosted replay or
provider behavior claim is made.

## Risks

- The tool schema now rejects unsupported keys before the service does.
Older callers that used invalid filenames must use a stable key such as
`reconciliation`.
- The compatibility pattern must track the service normalization rules.
The regression checks the real service and includes Unicode
compatibility controls.
- No database, authorization, document revision, idempotency, or
case-document rules change.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol`, Extra High reasoning. The model used code
execution, repository tools, and test output. The host does not expose
the context window size.

4bdcd1cffc fix(recovery): release holds for unstarted dispatch cancellations (#18838)
Release false recovery holds for legacy dispatch cancellations whose retained
evidence proves execution never started. Keep audit history, current admission
gates, review-wait Retry, and retained workspace obligations.

Share the execution-absence proof across cancellation policies and make the
dispatcher error-code policy exhaustive. Add PostgreSQL coverage and stabilize
the browser history fixture by waiting for pause cleanup before seeding it.

DottaandPaperclip 2a16dcf629 fix(workspaces): preserve shared directory trees during enrollment (#18835)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A volume-free web server needs existing task files in durable object
storage.
> - Historical workspace records can share a physical folder or contain
other task folders.
> - A task-level migration hold cannot fence every alias, and capturing
a parent recursively duplicates nested task data.
> - Offline enrollment imports children first and verifies their durable
coverage before omitting them from a parent archive.
> - Snapshot retention preserves those child versions for as long as a
covering parent depends on them.
> - Existing files, task bindings, and archived states remain intact
through the storage migration.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Builds on merged #18826.

**What happened?**

The per-workspace importer could capture a shared project folder while
another workspace record still owned the same path. It also recursively
included runtime-created nested task workspaces in each parent import.
Packaged enrollment rejected existing workspace data instead of invoking
its migration owner.

**Expected behavior**

Require offline maintenance for overlapping paths. Import nested tasks
before their parents, verify every excluded directory against its saved
snapshot, preserve dependencies through retention, and resume
interrupted imports without replacing existing remote authority.

**Steps to reproduce**

Create a project workspace and another task workspace below its
`.paperclip/worktrees/` directory. Try importing either while ordinary
writers are running, then run offline enrollment. Interrupt a parent
import after upload and resume it.

## What Changed

- Add physical-overlap admission checks and an offline entry-point
guard, including global running and queued executions.
- Import pending records in leaf-first pages through the existing
migration owner.
- Verify nested snapshots by downloading, restoring, and comparing the
original source before and after parent upload; check transitive
dependencies.
- Publish parent dependency receipts under child snapshot row locks.
Retention pins those children and revisits them when the parent is
deleted.
- Index imported-child dependency lookups with a partial GIN index; a
PostgreSQL query-plan regression covers 2,500 unrelated snapshots.
- Propagate cancellation through capture and object storage operations
and preserve existing retry journals.
- Wire workspace migration into packaged maintenance and document its
preservation contract.

## Verification

- The original overlap and duplicate-parent regressions failed before
implementation.
- 73 migration and retention tests pass against real PostgreSQL and
files, including interrupted uploads, resumed batches, equal-path
aliases, changed or missing child data, nested descendants, and active
or queued executions.
- Six S3-compatible storage integration tests pass, including migration
through the maintenance owner and restoration of both parent and child
after deleting the original filesystem.
- The standalone process case was initially skipped because the worktree
had no bundle. After rebuilding the server and runtime bundle, that test
passed against PostgreSQL and S3: authenticated ready/export receipts,
preserved decision secret, blocked application routes, and clean SIGTERM
shutdown.
- Server typecheck, server build, runtime bundle build, and
module-boundary checks passed. Full repository CI passed on
97136a20b9 after targeted retries of
infrastructure-interrupted jobs.
- Review fixes resolve physical paths through symlinked ancestors and
persist each parent journal’s original capture scope, including
pre-change journals. All three new regressions failed before their
fixes. An initial abort/retry test exposed JSON object-key ordering in
the saved scope; deep equality fixes that case, and the full migration
suite passed.
- Three new fixtures initially omitted required workspace fields; one
also omitted its task binding. The fixtures now satisfy the existing
contract; production validation was not relaxed.
- The parent PR's full local suite stopped on a chat retry-notice
timeout and a following fake-timer failure. All four relevant cases
passed separately without source changes; this is not a claim that the
full local suite passed.
- No staging enrollment or live rolling-deploy result is claimed by this
PR.

## Risks

The offline flag is an internal maintenance contract: Cloud must
actually stop every predecessor deployment before starting the process.
Deep or large trees require additional object downloads and source
comparisons and may exceed one maintenance window; import journals
support retry. Dependency lookups are company-scoped and event-driven,
with no added idle polling. Unavailable archived sources and unresolved
recovery/copyback still block migration and require separate owner work.
Unsupported local providers and cleanup_failed workspaces deliberately
remain enrollment blockers: filtering them from both the batch and
eligibility would abandon local files when the volume is detached. Two
regression tests prove that rejected records keep their files and do not
acquire remote authority. Original folders and the original volume
remain retained. The additional review request to ignore parallel-write
policy, stale task ownership, or a missing task binding in offline mode
is intentionally not applied: stopping deployments does not establish
those semantics. #18841 documents the separate owner actions and adds
three offline regressions preserving their files and blocking detach.
The batch reports the first failed workspace and supports journaled
retry; it does not promise aggregate diagnostics.

DottaandPaperclip b5dac661e9 refactor(runner): clarify workspace-relative artifact destinations (#18816)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native agents can copy an authorized saved artifact into their
execution workspace.
> - The installer accepts workspace-relative destinations and rejects
absolute paths.
> - The API documentation states this rule, but the model-facing tool
description and destination field did not.
> - An agent could therefore attempt an unsupported absolute path before
using a supported relative path.
> - This pull request states the existing rule and gives a relative
example in the tool contract.
> - The benefit is clearer instructions with the same containment and
file identity checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18494, which introduced verified artifact installation.

**What happened?**

The tool description said the destination belongs inside the workspace
and its parent must exist. It did not say that the destination must be
relative. The installer correctly rejected an absolute path, including
one lexically inside the workspace. A relative retry could succeed.

**Expected behavior**

The model-facing tool definition must explain the same
workspace-relative path rule as the existing API documentation. It
should show a relative example and state that absolute paths are denied.

**Steps to reproduce**

Inspect the exported download_artifact definition and destination JSON
schema before this change. Compare them with the installer guard and
doc/runner-api-tools.md. The description omitted the relative-only rule
even though the installer enforced it.

## What Changed

- State the workspace-relative destination rule, source.zip example and
absolute-path denial in the tool description.
- Add the same guidance to the destination field metadata emitted in its
JSON schema.
- Keep parsing, installation, authorization, byte size/hash checks and
all path containment guards unchanged. The existing documentation
already states the intended rule.

## Verification

- The first required Linux run failed in the unchanged Kimi model-route
setup, before its HTTP assertion. The failure remains recorded. After
#18828 merged, this branch was refreshed by an ordinary merge of master.
The same five HTTP cases pass on that baseline. Local artifact suites
report 20 platform-specific skips on macOS; the earlier required Linux
jobs passed all 19 artifact cases and the artifact authority case. Fresh
exact-head CI and review passed at
`c7b3226c745caaaedad569369b71383a9a6e89ee`.

- Inspected the real exported tool definition and JSON schema after the
change. Both now expose the relative-path guidance and example.
- A source-only probe used the real schema and installer with synthetic
bytes and a stubbed command runner. Absolute in-root, absolute
outside-root, traversal and reserved paths remain denied before
dispatch. A relative path reaches the stub runner. This is a
contract/path-guard probe, not real byte-installation proof.
- No functional red is claimed. The original unsupported tool attempt
remains a retained failure even though the relative retry recovered. The
exact provider-seen descriptor and the model's counterfactual behavior
are not proved.
- Server typecheck, module boundaries and whitespace checks pass.
Production server build also passes at exact head
b6084c5312.
- The existing artifact filesystem and authority suites skip all 20
cases on macOS because they require Linux. Actual current-head Linux CI
passed all 19 boundary cases and the authority integration case (jobs
126115146096 and 126115146332). Their shard membership is bound by the
uploaded test-selection manifest. No wording-only tests were added.
- Full CI retains an unrelated model-route timeout. A separate test
setup repair must land before this branch is updated and rechecked.
- No provider call, live task edit, tenant probe or security-gate
relaxation was performed.

- The refreshed workflow was externally cancelled after serialized shard
1 reported its Turbo task successful. One targeted retry passed. A
distinct general server shard had a failed runner record with zero
steps, no logs, no output and no annotations; its one targeted retry
also passed. The original records remain preserved. These retries
establish later check recovery, not a proved cause for the runner
failure.
- Final current-head checks: 52 success, two skipped and two neutral.
Required `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e` passed. Both current-head reviews
report 5/5, with no open threads.

## Risks

- The model can still choose an invalid path. This change clarifies the
instructions; it does not claim a counterfactual model result.
- The broad string schema still accepts inputs that the installer
denies. The installer retains authority over path safety.
- Absolute paths, traversal, symlink escapes, reserved paths,
conflicting files and unauthorized assets retain their existing denial
behavior.
- No schema migration, package dependency, API permission, scheduler or
deployment configuration changes are required.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, `gpt-6.1-sol`, Extra High reasoning, with source
inspection, code execution and contract verification. Context-window
capacity is not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 0b87308d5d fix(native): defer warm continuation during predecessor finalization (#18811)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent work and preserves its saved results.
> - Native warm sessions can continue on a retained remote Runner.
> - A completed predecessor can still have a live finalization lease.
> - The continuation must wait for that owner before it can start work.
> - Two admission checks treated that temporary lease as ambiguous
state.
> - This pull request uses the existing deadline-based wait for both
checks.
> - The same business run can continue once, with its saved context and
gates.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A compatible remote warm continuation can fail before provider work
starts. Its predecessor has completed, but a finalizer still holds a
live lease. The warm-session check reports
`runner_state_identity_mismatch:
prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate`. The earlier retained-sandbox
check has the same problem on the command transport.

**Expected behavior**

Keep the unstarted continuation on its existing run. Wait until the
recorded owner deadline. Recheck ordinary ownership, Stop, credentials
and checkpoint evidence before execution.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Complete a remote warm turn and retain its controller records and
provider session.
2. Give that completed predecessor a live finalization lease.
3. Admit a compatible follow-up with full local controller projections.
4. Before this change, admission fails permanently. It must instead
persist a bounded pre-provider wait.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The PostgreSQL regression failed before production edits on
`adb49a4434`. The current head is `5762dfbe4e`, based on master
`e491b23eb5`.

**Deployment mode**

Native remote sandbox execution. No database migration or provider
artifact change is required.

Related: #18718 refreshes stale warm-controller projections. #18343 adds
controller replacement recovery. #18554 restores suspended remote
sessions. This change handles a live predecessor finalizer after those
source checks.

The shared historical error does not identify its failed predicate. This
regression proves the finalizer race; it does not prove that every
historical instance of that error had this cause.

## What Changed

- Defer a compatible warm continuation while its completed predecessor
has a live finalization lease.
- Use the same wait in the preceding retained-sandbox read check.
- Preserve the current run, provider attempt count and checkpoint. Reuse
the existing resumption scheduler.
- Add PostgreSQL cases for both finalization phases, lease expiry,
company scope, incompatible configuration, unfinished commands, Stop and
duplicate resumption claims.
- Add an opt-in three-turn Linux Runner case. Update the
child-controller fixture to own and register a local API listener.
- Document the waiting behavior and acceptance case.
- Repair two readiness barriers in the refresh-worker integration
fixture after a required CI shard failed twice: wait for paginated
startup and for active worker promises to settle before checking idle
SQL.

## Verification

- **Native regression RED:** before production edits on `adb49a4434`,
the PostgreSQL boundary case received the permanent identity error
instead of `NativeControllerRecoveryWaitingError`.
- **Regression GREEN on the current head:** all **71** focused recovery,
settlement, heartbeat safety and refresh-worker cases pass on
`5762dfbe4e` with Node 24.21.0 and PostgreSQL 18. They cover
incompatible identities, company/configuration mismatches, expired or
missing deadlines, unfinished commands, Stop, retained files and
duplicate resumption claims.
- **Real process acceptance on the current head:** the three-turn
`finalizer-wait` case passes in 58.01 seconds. PostgreSQL, TLS, a
rebuilt Linux Runner and the deterministic Codex app-server fixture
confirm zero attempts and no provider turn during the wait, one claim
resuming the same run, retained history, a healthy third warm turn and
final suspension. The sibling `warm-suspended` case from master also
passes, in a fresh container, in 46.02 seconds. Both runs use
`5762dfbe4e`; the artifacts were rebuilt from that checkout with the
repository's pinned Rust 1.97.1 toolchain.
- Acceptance used Node 24.21.0 and glibc 2.41. Earlier probes exposed
the missing fixture API listener and the preceding retained-sandbox
guard; both are corrected. A stale disposable listener and an
incompatible libc image failed setup before the successful
fresh-container run. These setup failures are not the original
regression's RED.
- Repository typecheck/build passed locally before the rebase. Server
typecheck passes after the rebase. **Full CI passes on the current
head:** 48 successful jobs and one expected scope skip, including
typecheck, build, Runner checks, all serialized-server shards, general
tests, E2E and the final aggregate. Module-boundary and whitespace
checks also pass.
- Broad local inventories are incomplete: six chat shards passed (1,834
tests), but untouched server/UI/adapter cases hit timeouts. The exact
shared-base expiration case passes alone; a full-file rerun passed all
89 assertions but timed out in teardown. A Node 24 rerun timed out in
another lifecycle case and teardown. A later PostgreSQL recheck could
not allocate shared memory; this task's redundant broad controllers were
stopped and their logs retained.
- CI attempt 1 failed a Cursor Cloud cancellation deadline, an E2E
cleanup cancellation with a PostgreSQL lock timeout, and the
refresh-worker startup settling limit. One failed-only retry passed
Runner and E2E; the same refresh startup case failed again. Two
aggregate jobs had previously stalled in the hosted-runner queue and
blocked the retry; that obsolete attempt was cancelled. No repeated
blind rerun is being used.
- **Readiness repair RED/GREEN:** real PostgreSQL 18 behind a loopback
proxy with 20 ms delay per direction reproduces the exact startup error
before the test change; the same probe passes afterward. An initial
controlled probe hit the dedicated-database naming guard before tests
ran and is excluded from RED evidence. The full-file check then exposed
a separate false-idle barrier: a worker could be running while its
scheduler had no timer. The fixture now also checks the existing
active-work tracker. All **24 cases pass** with both repairs. The
at-most-six scoped SQL reads and zero recurring idle-SQL assertions are
unchanged; startup alone has an explicit bounded condition wait. No
production behavior or timeout changes.
- Greptile and Paperclip Review are both **5/5 on the current head**,
with no open findings. Both reviews used source inspection; the runtime
evidence above was obtained separately. The previous review workspace
was recovered on the first production attempt after repairing its
partial-clone export. Its preserved result and real follow-up both
finalized successfully, saved snapshots and released their writers and
finalization leases. Three current-head CI shards received hosted-runner
shutdown signals and were cancelled. All three passed their one
justified retry. The queued aggregate had to be cancelled to schedule
that retry; the final aggregate also passed. [Current-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41706617909).
- This acceptance does not qualify a live Codex model or Daytona API run
of the native repair. No deployment or recovery of the original task is
claimed.

## Risks

- A wait must not grant a second executor. The current attempt stays at
zero until the existing scheduler claims it. Expired or missing
deadlines retain their existing hold.
- Saved state must survive the wait. Admission still requires the same
company, task, session, configuration and physical sandbox evidence.
- Current Stop, budget, credential and permission gates remain with
ordinary resumption. No polling loop is added.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The runtime does not expose the exact
serving model ID or context-window size. Capabilities: reasoning,
repository inspection, code editing, shell tools and test execution.

DottaandPaperclip e0276e0166 fix(workspaces): identify remote command timeouts (#18827)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Remote workspaces prepare repositories and save files through
sandbox commands.
> - Each command has a timeout and a known operation.
> - The transport discarded that information when a command timed out.
> - A failed clone then appeared as the same generic error as other
failures.
> - This pull request keeps the operation and timeout in a fixed
diagnostic.
> - Operators can identify the failed stage without exposing command
output.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A remote workspace setup command reached its 300-second transport limit
before provider work started. The workspace layer reported only
`remote_workspace_operation_failed`. That message concealed the timeout
and the affected operation. A later full clone on the same sandbox image
passed in 107 seconds, so the original clone delay remains unexplained.
This PR repairs the loss of diagnostic information. It does not claim to
prevent the underlying delay.

**Expected behavior**

A transport timeout must remain a failure. Its diagnostic must identify
the operation and configured limit. It must exclude raw output and must
not automatically repeat a command whose remote outcome is unknown.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Return `timedOut: true` from the sandbox command boundary during
workspace preparation or cleanup.
2. Observe that the base implementation reports only
`remote_workspace_operation_failed`.
3. Apply this change. Preparation reports
`remote_workspace_operation_timed_out: prepare (configured timeout
300000ms)`. Cleanup retains its separate 10-second limit.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The regression was reproduced on master base
`367f29478d14003cc5c0f161b7ce8f3164993634`. The fixed current head is
`be45ce6594254bd6b94023a550d8b655dd704bb0`.

**Deployment mode**

Hosted Paperclip with native Runner and Daytona sandbox execution. Local
acceptance also uses disposable PostgreSQL and filesystem commands.

Related work: #18403 introduced remote workspace authority. #18705 added
a fixed full-disk diagnostic. I searched recent clone and
remote-workspace PRs and found no duplicate timeout-reporting repair.
This is a defect fix and does not add a roadmap feature.

## What Changed

- Give each internal workspace command a closed operation name: prepare,
repository, archive helper, capture, restore, or cleanup.
- Preserve that operation and the configured limit in a typed error when
the transport reports a timeout. Do not claim a measured elapsed time.
- Keep other failure diagnostics and exact safe-message checks
unchanged.
- Preserve typed cleanup timeouts in the operation cleanup journal while
retaining generic diagnostics for untrusted errors.
- Add preparation, cleanup, and real-PostgreSQL lifecycle regressions.
Document the timeout and the need to reconcile saved receipts before
recovery.

## Verification

- Red: both transport regressions failed on the base implementation. A
separate real-PostgreSQL cleanup regression reproduced the review
finding: the operation journal replaced a typed timeout with a generic
error.
- Green: all 62 remote transport and archive tests and all 50
real-PostgreSQL workspace lifecycle cases passed. The lifecycle suite
ran with an explicit disposable database; it was not skipped. Command:
`pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/server
server/src/services/remote-workspace-transport.test.ts
server/src/services/remote-workspace-snapshot-archive.test.ts`.
- Safety: a timeout with exit code zero still fails. Raw stdout and
stderr stay out of the error. A timeout cannot claim the fixed
unfinished-Git diagnostic. No command retry occurs. Existing saved files
remain unchanged. Existing archive, restore, receipt, symlink,
credential-isolation, and full-disk controls pass. The cleanup lifecycle
cases retain the acknowledged snapshot, preserve working files, avoid
duplicate uploads, record only a safe typed timeout, and settle cleanup
on the next normal reconciliation. An untrusted error that mimics the
timeout prefix stays generic.
- Live acceptance: production transport code ran against actual Daytona
SDK 0.203.0 timeouts on the incident image, with 4 CPUs, 8 GiB RAM, and
a 10 GiB disk. A controlled one-second SDK limit produced the generic
baseline error and the fixed exact preparation timeout. The current
`be45ce6594` code was rechecked for both preparation and cleanup. Each
returned the typed error and its own configured limit (300 seconds and
10 seconds) while the controlled SDK fault remained one second. Each
case made one command call. Each disposable sandbox was deleted before
the next case.
- The first live-probe attempt used an incorrect error-name check. It
failed its acceptance check and remains recorded. The probe was
corrected to use the same SDK timeout base class as production. Its
first sandbox was deleted. This was a probe setup failure, not red
evidence for the repair.
- A separate same-image probe ran the real full repository preparation
successfully in 107 seconds. The affected command path is unchanged
except for error reporting. The original task was retried once through
the product on deployed source
`adb49a44346849e751548b2fb640693dbfad4b6f`. The requested memo and its
first document revision persisted after reload and matched the
downloaded attachment. The run succeeded, the task reached Done, its
execution lock cleared, and final workspace save and result commit
succeeded. The diagnostic PR is not deployed.
- Recursive typecheck and build passed on `be45ce6594`. `git diff
--check` passed. The first full-suite attempt stopped before tests
because the offline install had skipped an embedded PostgreSQL native
postinstall. The package's official symlink hydration fixed `initdb`.
- The next Mac run passed 350 chat cases and hit one unchanged 15-second
chat deadline. That case then passed in isolation, and all six full chat
shards passed. The broader Mac matrix was later stopped as partial when
CI results became available. No full single-command Mac pass is claimed.
- Full Vitest file coverage uses the exact successful CI merge tree,
`d264fd98e7fb6eff4a9e6b00d402f88894cc0e57`. Its canonical inventory has
2,899 files. Passing CI covered 2,057 files. The remaining 842 ran
locally through the standard exact-file harness. The inventory and
selection checks show no unassigned files. All four changed source/test
files are byte-identical between the PR head and that merge tree.
- The first remaining-file run passed 771 files. The database group
passed 68 files and reported four deadline/readiness failures in three
unchanged files. Those same three files passed all 12 cases when run
sequentially on Node 24.22.2, matching CI's major version. Assertions,
readiness limits, and test deadlines did not change. The first attempt
used Node 26.4.0 with a parallel UI workload; this does not isolate the
contribution of runtime version versus load. Both attempts remain
recorded.
- [GitHub
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41699549115)
is green on current head `be45ce6594`: `ci / verify`, typecheck, build,
all selected server/chat/workspace groups, Runner checks, and all eight
browser shards passed. Greptile is 5/5 with no open threads. The prior
P2 was resolved by removing new code comments.
- Structured Paperclip review remains queued because its own previous
accepted result exhausted workspace export recovery. A fresh
current-head request is saved, but normal Retry returns HTTP 409
(`accepted_result_without_new_input`). Its advisory cleanup finding is
fixed in `be45ce6594` and covered by red/green lifecycle evidence. This
check is informational. The branch requires `ci / verify` and `ci /
e2e`, and both pass. The independent review-service limitation remains
recorded; this PR is not deployed.

## Risks

Timeout error text changes. Consumers that compare the old generic
message may need to accept the new diagnostic. No such production
comparison was found in this repository. API shapes, deadlines, retries,
ownership, credentials, and model selection do not change. A timeout
still does not prove that the remote process stopped or that a save
failed before publication. Existing recovery must reconcile that state.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, code execution, and browser
tools. The host does not expose a more specific model ID or
context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 1f55073f96 fix(cursor-cloud): support API-only controllers on managed stacks (#18310)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents at work.
> - Cursor Cloud hosts execution behind its API.
> - Product setup still expected a Paperclip Computer.
> - Managed-only tenants therefore rejected valid setup.
> - This admits the validated API-owned controller.
> - Authority, Stop proof, budgets and cleanup remain enforced.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18068 and #18069; both dependencies have merged.

**What happened?**

Managed-only setup still requested a Computer. Live tests exposed
missing Cursor Stop proof and duplicate replay.

**Expected behavior**

Use Cursor’s API controller. Verify provider/controller termination and
replay each log identity once.

**Steps to reproduce**

Enable native Runner/managed-only. Configure Cursor model/repository/key
without a Computer, then Test, finish setup, run and Stop.

## What Changed

- Derive API-only placement from validated native Cursor configuration;
reject placement/command/workspace/home overrides and keep
Kubernetes-only execution closed.
- Skip Computers/checkout/workspace realization. Keep scoped tools,
completion, private staging, budgets, leases and recovery. Persist
placement; reject contradictions.
- Align Cloud cards, Test, Save and Finish setup; hold unready drafts.
Legacy keeps its Computer, credential and policy checks.
- Verify Stop from exact API ownership, audited intent,
provider-terminal proof, no Computer/process ownership and controller
retirement. Recheck immediate/deferred retirement; wake existing
recovery on durable evidence.
- Clear warnings when the actual stopped target later has authoritative
confirmation. Keep missing/other-run negatives and the existing
predicate.
- Publish safe status refresh after full-proof ACK. Retain bounded
native/physical cancellation history; add no poller or weaker proof
path.

## Verification

Core merged as `3910352c923a`; Product merged as `27d35314be8e`. Public
branch `5f86eb66b081` has tree `67344151d303`. Its exact-head Greptile
summary is 5/5; the fresh audit found zero unresolved threads and
complete pagination. The controlled workspace retry and required summary
passed. All 59 current-head contexts are terminal and clean. Prior
green-36 evidence keeps its identity.

[Current
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41680511731)
first failed workspaces-a 1/2: the CLI company-import/export beforeAll
30-second runtime-info/child-PID/HTTP readiness wait expired. All 431 UI
files/4,714 tests and 285 other CLI tests passed (one skip). The cause
remains UNKNOWN. Child output records startup recovery complete, but
buffered CI prefixes do not establish its relation to the waiter
deadline; runtime-file/PID/last-health state was not captured. Both
unchanged local probes were RED. The second observed dependency
preflight still pending at the deadline; observer overhead was not
quantified. Neither proves the CI cause. After all functional jobs
finished, only the queued metadata summary was cancelled; the other 48
records stayed unchanged. Attempt 1 retains 46 successes, the original
failure, one skip and the cancelled summary. One same-head debug retry
was admitted at 18:42 UTC on November 3. Its workspace job passed at
19:23 UTC on the same checkout: UI 431 files/4,714 tests and CLI 33
files/286 tests, including company import/export. Test caching was
disabled. The new `ci / verify` summary passed; workflow attempt 2
completed SUCCESS. Required `ci / e2e` also passed. The final check at
19:53 UTC on November 3 found all 59 current-head contexts terminal and
clean: zero pending and zero failing. The 47 inherited completed/skipped
rows are not new executions. No code, assertion or timeout changed;
success does not explain the original failure or erase the local REDs.

CI checkout is `1ea9d8608ced`/tree `78cb1ec13d59` (parents
`2e37c73c05fe`, 5f86); both workflows use 2e37. Its 20 extra paths add
low-memory build/Rust task-memory. Scripts cohere; later matrix changes
only labels, with no newer debug-cache steps. Static audit found no
blocker. Supported API arguments omit the memory flag: no default
monitor/instruction changes. Flagged external launchers can change
Cursor instructions/digests and remain unqualified.

The merge added 41 master-identical paths, retained the green-36 inbox
hunk and found UI fixtures matching upstream. Startup/backup, recovery
projection, sleep diagnostics and binary backup change production.
Static audit found eight Stop/ACK owner blobs and 37 sleep-work SQL
templates unchanged, with sleep fences/single-flight accounting intact.
Exact precommit tree: 416/416 across eight server files, binary backup
1/1, server types PASS; repeated scopes are not summed.

The deferred-retirement P1 reproduced three real-DB/owned-process
failures; missing proof stayed unverified. Recovery passed 47 process
cases/33 proof negatives. Warning repair binds actual targets to
same-run proof. Validation passed 729 scoped UI cases, a separate
359-case thread run, 111 backend cases (84 CAS, 6 assembled, 21
activity/privacy), types/tokens. Proof validators/predicate are
unchanged; no new poller or increased timeout.

The d8d3 attempt stays FAILED: 45 passes, two workspaces-a failures,
derived verify failure and one skip. Both shards shared three failures:
two successful mocks omitted the account guard’s required userId. The
two-line fixture repair changed no guard, assertion or timeout. Three
failures reproduced; 54 access/auth tests then passed, including
account-change/denial negatives, plus UI types/tokens.

The 69285 attempt stays FAILED: 49 jobs, 46 passed, serialized shard 9
failed, its verify aggregate failed and one selection job skipped. The
shard passed 575/576 cases. Its aborted-snapshot case expected nine
computes but saw eight: a final HTTP 200 coalesced while seven ordinary
reads had not proved the aborted compute settled. Earlier CI and the
unmodified local baseline passed with a miss; no local RED is claimed.
The repair awaits the snapshot, allows exactly one extra GET if
coalesced, then requires a miss and retains nine computes/all HTTP429
assertions. No production code, hook, loop, sleep or timeout changed.
Six inbox and seven cache/admission cases passed locally, plus server
types; 30 unrelated cases were filtered. Green 36 passed 576/576 without
taking the extra-GET branch; local runs also missed that schedule.
Current CI event merge 1ea9 now passed 576/576 and naturally exercised
the former failure: coalesced (count 2, 1ms), then exactly one fresh
miss (count 1, 16ms), with strict nine-compute/HTTP429 assertions
intact. No instrumentation or retry was added.

Earlier compatibility passed scoped remote/inbox, routine, API-placement
and UI tests, plus types/migrations/snapshots/maps/tokens. The 89-path
adoption restored fleet routing without workflow overrides or added
skips. Each result retains its source identity.

Live qualification remains actual `9af1a5de42a2`: unchanged Artifact
grader PASSED 17/17 and active-Stop grader PASSED 21/21. All three
provider test resources were deleted canonically with GET404;
post-delete download returned the exact 27 bytes. Histories stayed
stable (Artifact 121 and Stop 67 canonical identities), with 21 company
runs, zero active work and no accounting/cancellation/reservation debt
or integrity findings. Saved settings reopened; no-prompt Test/Linux
admission passed with `claude-sonnet-4-5`. No new Save is claimed.

The first Stop sampling case stays FAILED on a 10.373-second gap.
Unchanged retry kept all 24 samples: 35.076 seconds quiet, maximum gap
4.584 seconds, plus a separate CANCELLED/artifact-absent read after 180
seconds. Initial grading rejected locator spelling before functional
checks; metadata changed only after same-file/inode/byte proof, with raw
evidence/oracles unchanged. Original Question/Plan/reconnect and
historical deleted-artifact results keep their identities.

Git trees verified 11 history-only conflicts and six earlier mainline
paths. Hosted 9af to the public BRANCH differs in 222 paths; 13,500
other mode/blob leaves match. Runner runtime implementations and six
observer/driver pins match 9af on that branch only; inherited
`drivers/acpx/runtime-host.test.ts` differs. No all-Runner/src,
CI/latest-master runtime or image equality is claimed. Later static
audits through `8ab89f41e499` found no concrete API-only blocker. That
base adds completed-history sleep proofs and an MCP cleanup migration;
protected Stop/ACK owners are unchanged. These later changes are outside
this CI and have no live qualification here. Host duplicate-card and
later recovery/UI repairs retain separate proof, not deployed 9af
identity. Direct-key coverage requires absent aiConnection; API-only
placement skips inherited remote-workspace disk-full paths, and
config-read gates match their parent.

Other retained failures: stale fixture 132/133; E8 48/135 with 87
reset-hook failures; Mac 17 SQL failures/skips;
title/startup/custody/Stop/deletion unknown causes and bounded
recoveries; superseded warning/50 duplicate identities; pre-repair
ACK/Core CI failures. Fixture RED/GREEN passed 7/7 browser and 121/121
shutdown tests with a failing broken-unsubscribe control; stable WSP
wrapper passed 128 after physical teardown failure. No full local-suite
pass is inferred. All paid attempts remain recorded; vendor dollar cost
is UNKNOWN.

## Risks

Experimental: Cursor independently acknowledges neither the effective
model nor instruction digest before the first prompt. Explicit values
are submitted and behavior checked live; unpriced provider dollar cost
stays UNKNOWN.

The placement exception applies only to validated native Cursor API
execution. Other local work remains denied under managed-only policy.
Missing/stale Stop or cleanup proof stays pending; damaged archives
remain failed. Explicit Legacy keeps its existing policy owners.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex/GPT-6 family: tools, execution, browser checks, delegated
review. API ID/context window unavailable.

DottaandPaperclip 4d31588dea test(server): load model route setup before test deadlines (#18828)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip uses native agents and local provider adapters to do work.
> - The server model route must keep provider catalogs separate.
> - Its tests use the real HTTP route with controlled service and
adapter fixtures.
> - Each test reset the module graph and imported the route again inside
short test deadlines.
> - Slow imports timed out. Unfinished work could then change mock call
counts in a later case.
> - This pull request loads the stable route graph during collection and
keeps each case's fixture resets.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18816 (affected required CI run).

**What happened?**

The pending Kimi model-route test exceeded its 15-second deadline in
required Linux CI. The unchanged test file also failed locally: the
first setup hook exceeded 30 seconds, later tests exceeded 15 seconds,
and the last OpenCode case saw two calls instead of one after unfinished
work reached the shared mock.

**Expected behavior**

Route import and transformation must finish before the case deadline
starts. Each case must still test the real HTTP route with its own mock
state, environment and profile values, and adapter registry cleanup.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run `pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/server
server/src/__tests__/adapter-model-refresh-routes.test.ts` with a cold
module graph. On a loaded worker, repeated module resets and imports can
exceed the hook and test deadlines.

## What Changed

- Register stable service mocks once and load the real route and
middleware during test collection.
- Remove per-case module invalidation. Keep all five original HTTP
assertions, fixture resets, profile and environment restoration, and
adapter unregister operations.
- Keep the existing hook and test deadlines. Product source code does
not change. No user-facing documentation changes are needed.

## Verification

- The unchanged file reproduced the hook timeout, test timeouts, and
leaked call-count failure locally.
- All five original cases pass with the fix. The cold graph takes about
47 seconds during collection; the cases complete within the unchanged
deadlines.
- All five cases also pass at the same head in a shuffled order with
seed `20261103`.
- Module-boundary and diff checks pass.
- Full repository typecheck, tests, and build run in required CI. No
hosted product behavior is claimed from this test-only change.
- Current-head CI attempt 2 failed in the typecheck harness because the
trusted master workflow called `scripts/typecheck-test-projects.mjs`,
which the older source head did not contain. The log is retained. A
normal merge of master supplies the helper from #18738. All five
original HTTP cases pass again on that merged baseline. Fresh CI and
exact-head reviews passed at `86f0bf27267fe3f44ab813fb0a57ebbb94bae7fe`.

- The refreshed run passed all server checks but one browser shard
failed: `task-reload.spec.ts:63` waited five seconds for a task heading
after the intentional bundle failure. The trace showed the saved task
breadcrumb and properties, with the conversation still loading. The
exact failure log and trace were retained. One targeted retry of that
shard and its aggregate passed without source changes. This establishes
recovery of the check; the original browser loading delay remains
unexplained.
- Final exact-head checks: 52 success, two skipped, and two neutral.
Both Greptile and Paperclip reviews are 5/5. No review threads remain.

## Risks

- Stable imports share module state across cases. The test retains
explicit mock resets, adapter unregister, and profile/environment
restoration.
- The affected model route reads profile qualification and environment
fixtures when it handles the request. These cases do not require a new
module instance for each environment change.
- No runtime or schema changes. No test deadline increase.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol`, Extra High reasoning. The model used repository
tools, code execution, and test output. The host does not expose the
context window size.

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents at work.
> - The budget service checks whether an agent can start work.
> - Preliminary checks acquired the company accounting lock even with no
budget policy.
> - Independent checks then waited behind accounting writes for the same
company.
> - This pull request reads one consistent snapshot before it decides
whether reconciliation is needed.
> - Healthy checks avoid the writer lock. State changes and final paid
admission retain their existing authority.
> - The benefit is less company-wide contention during routine
eligibility checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17697 (the preliminary-check portion). Refs #17817 (related
serialization in agent configuration).

Related approach: #17966. That PR adds a precheck for policies that
cannot block. This PR also avoids the lock for healthy active hard-stop
policies and manual pause reads. It uses a repeatable-read snapshot and
leaves public transactional admission locked. It does not add the
inactive-policy spend filtering proposed in #17966.

**Current behavior**

Every public `getInvocationBlock` call takes the company writer lock.
Healthy checks can wait behind an unrelated receipt or settlement
operation.

**Proposed behavior**

Read current scope state, policies, exposure and relevant incidents in a
read-only snapshot. Return directly when no transition is needed.
Otherwise discard the snapshot and reconcile current state under the
company lock.

**Reason and benefit**

Independent preliminary checks can finish while another transaction owns
the company row. Final reservations and paid-work admission still
serialize against current accounting state.

## What Changed

- Separate preliminary eligibility inspection from mutating
reconciliation in the budget service.
- Share scope loading, pause decisions and soft-incident resolution
conditions between the two paths.
- Keep no-policy checks free of exposure scans and incident reads.
- Add inspection and reconciliation spans to the existing operator-gated
Observability path.
- Add PostgreSQL contention tests and regressions for pauses, holds,
incidents, recovering native accounting and company boundaries.
- Use the shared fixture startup timeout. Per-test deadlines and the 500
ms lock timeout stay intact.
- Update the implementation contract and tracing documentation. Add
dated investigation and future-design notes. The future accounting
architecture remains a proposal.

## Verification

- 73 targeted tests passed across eight files on implementation commit
`244db565`. No tests were skipped. The files cover budget service,
enforcement scoping and delivery, live receipt attempts, budget history,
run settlement, heartbeat accounting and budget tracing.
- Real PostgreSQL tests hold the company accounting lock while routine
checks finish. The same reader's authoritative admission instead fails
with PostgreSQL lock timeout `55P03`.
- Full workspace typecheck passed before the rebase: `node
scripts/typecheck-low-memory.mjs`.
- Full workspace build passed before the rebase:
`PAPERCLIP_TYPECHECK_LOW_MEMORY=1 pnpm -r --workspace-concurrency=1
build`. The Runner release binary was rebuilt from source.
- `node scripts/check-module-boundaries.mjs` and `git diff --check`
passed.
- Initial local setup failed before assertions: cold fixture setup
exceeded 20 seconds, then a missing SDK build was exposed. The fixture
now uses the shared 90-second startup allowance. The SDK was built
before the successful test run. An incomplete local Copilot artifact
also blocked the first build; the pinned installer repaired it before
the successful canonical retry.
- The branch rebased cleanly onto master `83b5f7d486`. All 73 targeted
tests then passed again on clean head
`244db565ae206502b100c3cdf5cd86a0ae91b372` (eight files, no skips). The
full local Vitest suite was not run; remote CI must verify the wider
suite.
- Initial remote CI failed three monitor-scheduler cases at the suite's
three-second heartbeat-idle wait. The unchanged suite then passed all 21
tests locally (`pnpm exec vitest run
src/__tests__/issue-monitor-scheduler.test.ts`, 70.13 seconds). The one
failed-job rerun was cancelled after the review follow-up was pushed; it
produced no pass/fail result. No scheduler assertions or timeouts were
changed. On updated head `ba2ab2a0`, the unchanged monitor suite passed
all 21 tests in 38.381 seconds in [server shard
10/12](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41702687492/job/126151059714).
That shard passed 115 files and 2,677 tests, with no failures (one file
and 20 tests skipped by existing suite configuration).
- The independent review identified missing recovering-run coverage. The
added contention case requires the locked fallback while another
accounting writer holds the company row, then verifies the recovery
block without pausing or cancelling recovery. The regression is in
follow-up commit `ba2ab2a0b001f7bd69e0f86fb89a842e79b0e2b8`. All 19
budget-service tests passed locally (no skips, 48.89 seconds), and `pnpm
--filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` passed after the follow-up.
- The updated CI run then hit a separate plugin-refresh fixture timeout
at its final re-enable settle. The unchanged
`external-object-refresh-work.test.ts` suite passed all 24 tests locally
(52.02 seconds). Inspection identified a possible fake-clock race: its
quiet helper can observe no scheduled deadline while reconstruction is
still active, then encounter the existing 30-second reconstruction
cooldown. The one same-head failed-job retry
[passed](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41702687492/job/126158227876):
refresh suite 24/24, shard 115 files and 4,125 tests passed (one file
and four tests skipped by existing configuration). No assertions,
timeouts, or product code were changed.
- [Full
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41702687492)
passed on exact head `ba2ab2a0b001f7bd69e0f86fb89a842e79b0e2b8`: build,
typecheck, Runner checks, all server/workspace suites and E2E. Both
required aggregates are successful. All 59 checks are terminal: 54
successful, two advisory neutral and three expected skips. The PR is
mergeable with a clean merge state.
- Deployment latency and CPU effects have not been measured.
- Greptile reviewed updated head
`ba2ab2a0b001f7bd69e0f86fb89a842e79b0e2b8`: 5/5, no actionable findings
or unresolved Greptile threads.
- Independent Paperclip review on the updated head: advisory 4/5, no
blocker, recovery gap confirmed resolved. One canonical maintainability
advisory remains visible and is documented below.

## Risks

- Preliminary inspection can precede a concurrent policy or pause
change. It grants no paid dispatch authority. The final locked admission
and reservation checks remain required.
- Healthy configured policies add an incident lookup. An unheld blocking
scope can compute exposure during both inspection and locked
revalidation. Already-held scopes skip the first exposure computation.
- Holds and incidents must retain their existing transition effects. The
fallback reads them again under the company lock, rather than mutating
from the earlier snapshot.
- Eligibility inspection and reconciliation still maintain separate
transition lists. Future reconciliation changes must update the
inspection predicate and its contention coverage together; consolidating
the effects model remains a nonblocking review follow-up.
- No schema or API response change is required. This change does not
relax the current budget enforcement contract.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex with model `gpt-6.1-sol`. Used reasoning, repository
inspection, code execution and delegated review. The session did not
expose the context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip e491b23eb5 fix(runner): retire sandbox suspension receipts after admission (#18829)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents and their work.
> - Native Runner sessions preserve a conversation across task turns.
> - Remote suspension records a local receipt for the stopped Runner
identity.
> - The built-in sandbox path now writes the same receipt as plugin
tasks.
> - Admission cleared that receipt only for plugin tasks.
> - A later warm turn could reject a clean journal because the old
receipt named an earlier run.
> - This pull request clears the receipt after successful admission for
both sandbox paths.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18343 and #18554 for the shared suspension receipt producer. Refs
#18718 for the related controller projection refresh.

**What happened?**

After a suspended built-in sandbox session resumed, its next warm turn
could fail with `runner_state_identity_mismatch:
prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate`. Its journal named the
completed resumed run. Its local suspension receipt still named the
older run.

**Expected behavior**

Successful admission must retire the prior suspension receipt. The next
compatible warm turn must reuse the admitted session and provider
history once. A failed admission must retain recovery evidence.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Complete and suspend remote turn A.
2. Resume turn B through the built-in sandbox transport.
3. Keep the controller warm, with full Runner state owned by the
sandbox.
4. Admit turn C. The old local receipt conflicts with B's journal
identity.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced in the executor regression on base `367f29478d`.

**Deployment mode**

Native Runner with the built-in remote sandbox transport and a warm
lifecycle.

## What Changed

- Clear the local suspension receipt after a remote sandbox session
passes provider recovery and durable admission. Apply this to built-in
runners and plugin tasks.
- Extend the existing three-turn warm admission regression to cover a
suspended receipt and remote-only Runner state.
- Keep an active-owner control that rejects admission and retains its
receipt. Keep the existing foreign-owner, retirement, configuration,
plugin, and unchanged-session controls.
- Add a real Linux Runner continuity case that suspends A, resumes B,
and keeps B warm for C. Register the test fixture's owned local API
listener.
- Document receipt ownership and the new continuity case.

## Verification

- The new behavioral regression failed before the production change.
Turn C raised the exact identity mismatch above. The active-owner
control passed and retained its receipt.
- All 1,087 native executor tests pass after the fix.
- Both opt-in Linux process cases pass at the final commit: ordinary
warm reuse and suspension followed by warm reuse. They use PostgreSQL,
TLS, current-source Rust binaries, and a deterministic Codex fixture.
Each preserves one conversation, starts exactly three turns, and reuses
the warm Runner and provider on turn C.
- Full repository typecheck passes with `node
scripts/typecheck-low-memory.mjs`. Full production build passes with
`pnpm build`.
- All current-head CI checks pass at `a95a6fdfe8`, including the full
test shards, browser shards, Rust checks, build, and typecheck. The
policy job needed one retry after repository checkout timed out before
checks ran.
- Greptile and Ponytail each give 5/5 at the final head. There are no
open review threads or findings.
- The local full `pnpm test:run` attempt passed 351 cases in its first
chat shard. The session interruption stopped it during the second shard,
so it has no complete local verdict. The complete CI test run passes.
- Module boundary checks and `git diff --check` pass.

## Risks

- A receipt removed before admission could discard recovery evidence.
Removal stays in the successful `onSession` callback. The negative
admission control checks retention.
- A stale owner must not gain authority. Journal, run, lease, and scope
checks remain in place before the callback.
- Historical contradictory or quarantined state still requires the
existing verified recovery path. This change does not delete those
records.
- No migration or provider configuration change is required.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6. The runtime does not expose a more
specific model ID or context limit. Used reasoning, repository tools,
code execution, and tests.

DottaandPaperclip 2035118526 fix(workspaces): preserve archived data during remote migration (#18826)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Remote workspace storage lets the web server run without a
persistent volume.
> - Existing deployments also contain archived and historical task
workspaces.
> - Retention can remove their folders while preserving encrypted
restore points or Git reconstruction records.
> - The importer rejected those records and only accepted the task's
current workspace.
> - This pull request imports verified saved data without reopening or
rebinding tasks.
> - The benefit is preservation of existing work during an explicit
storage migration.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18403 and #17472.

**What happened?**

An explicit remote-workspace import rejected archived records,
historical task bindings, and removed folders with valid retained data.

**Expected behavior**

Import the recorded files or exact Git commit. Preserve archived state
and the task's current binding. Refuse missing, expired, corrupt, or
changed sources.

**Steps to reproduce**

Archive a task directory with a restore point, remove its folder, and
run the remote-workspace import. Repeat with a Git restore point
containing an unpushed commit and staged and unstaged edits. The
previous importer reports an inactive workspace or missing source.

## What Changed

- Preserve lifecycle state and current task binding while importing
archived and historical records. Recheck the binding before publication
and on resume.
- Expose the task-directory owner's validated restore-point reader.
Reuse it for ordinary restoration and migration.
- Restore archived directories and Git data into private scratch space.
Support saved Git recipes and exact legacy branch-deletion receipts.
- Recover pruned unpushed Git commits from the encrypted bundle and its
explicit prerequisites.
- Keep independent snapshot download, restoration, source checks, writer
guards, encryption, and atomic publication.
- Document the supported import sources and the remaining
tenant-enrollment gaps.

## Verification

- Before production edits, two new regressions failed on archived status
and historical task binding.
- Final focused verification: 58 tests pass across remote-workspace
migration and isolated task-directory restoration.
- Real PostgreSQL, Git repositories, encrypted storage, and restored
file bytes cover cold restoration after removing the old folder and
source object, pruned unpushed history, index and worktree edits,
corrupt/missing/expired sources, binding changes, and source-folder
races.
- A Git fixture initially lacked runtime ownership metadata. Correcting
the fixture made the valid retained-source case pass; no production
validation was weakened.
- Full repository typecheck and build passed. Full `pnpm test:run`
stopped in chat integration shard 2 after two failures: a retry-notice
timeout and a subsequent fake-timer error. All four cases in that
retry-notice group passed in a separate focused rerun without source
changes; the complete suite has not passed locally. All exact-head CI
jobs passed. The separate Paperclip Review app check is still queued;
all existing review threads are resolved. Server typecheck passed after
the review fixes.
- Both review findings were reproduced: the real cleanup owner's
verified-tip receipt was rejected, and a lost upload reply for a legacy
Git source failed with `operation_content_changed`. The fixes accept the
owner's scoped receipt metadata and rebuild reconstructed Git indexes
from their staged trees. Both regressions now pass, including retained
staged and unstaged edits.
- Additional coverage restores from a fresh HTTP clone after deleting
the original repository, imports a nested local checkout with encrypted
settings, and rejects an unapproved nested source without publishing
remote authority.
- This PR does not claim a completed tenant enrollment or a new
zero-downtime deployment proof.

## Risks

Imports can fail when old receipts or repository objects are
unavailable. They retain their migration journal and leave the original
state intact. Operators must resolve pending writers and recovery before
importing. Shared physical roots, nested worktrees, and unresolved
sandbox recovery require separate migration work. This change does not
remove those blockers or alter automatic retention.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository tools, and code
execution. This session does not expose a more specific serving model ID
or context-window size.

fef86e32e9 feat(execution-admission): add project concurrency policy and admission storage (#18746)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Projects group tasks. Agents run tasks as heartbeat runs.
> - Today, workspace mode and shared-workspace flags decide whether
tasks run at the same time. A project cannot set its own limit on
concurrent task executions.
> - A correct project limit must count every project that a task uses,
including @-mentioned projects. It must also keep the count when a
project is archived or deleted, and when a run is admitted more than one
time.
> - This change cannot go into one pull request with claims and
settlement. Thus this pull request adds only the policy semantics and
the durable accounting storage that later claims will use.
> - This pull request adds a new `execution-admission` module, three
tables and the deletion guards. No route writes a cap and no claim path
enforces it.
> - The benefit is a tested storage contract (constraints, idempotency,
rollback, indexed counts, lifecycle preservation) before any behavior
changes.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #2831, Refs #14333 (related agent-level and adapter-level limits;
not duplicates).

**Subsystem affected**

Server execution admission (new module
`server/src/modules/execution-admission/`) and the `packages/db` schema.

**Problem or motivation**

A project cannot limit how many of its task executions are active. The
current shared-workspace flags mix resource safety with capacity. A
future project limit needs storage that records each admission attempt
and every project that the attempt charges. Run IDs cannot be the
identity, because a run can be released before dispatch and admitted
again.

**Proposed solution**

Add a separate policy table that keeps "never configured" apart from
"explicit no limit". Add admission epochs with one charge row per
distinct project. Settlement deletes the charge set in one transaction.
Later pull requests integrate claims, settlement, waits and the public
control.

**Alternatives considered**

Columns on `projects` would leak an unenforced cap through every project
reader. A project column or a `uuid[]` on `heartbeat_runs` cannot
enforce per-project uniqueness or company scope. `budget_reservations`
has no project set. A counter would be a second source of truth.

## What Changed

- Added `project_task_execution_policies`. No row means never
configured. A null maximum means an explicit "no limit". A check accepts
only positive maximums. A composite foreign key keeps the project and
company together. The row is deleted with its project.
- Added `execution_admissions`. Each row is one admission attempt of a
run: `(run_id, attempt)` is unique, and a partial unique index allows
one unsettled attempt per run. It keeps the context revision, the
nullable primary project (provenance, no foreign key) and the settlement
identity. A check sets `settlement_id` and `settled_at` together.
- Added `execution_admission_project_charges`. It has one row per
distinct admitted project, unlimited projects included. Composite
foreign keys keep the admission and the project in one company. The
project foreign key has no cascade, so a charge cannot disappear with
its project. `(company_id, project_id)` is indexed for active counts.
- Added migration `0426_absent_guardian.sql` (renumbered from `0423`,
then `0425`, as master added `0423`–`0425`). The generated SQL was
reordered so the unique indexes exist before the composite foreign keys
that need them. Snapshots `0419` and `0420` were pruned to keep five
snapshots.
- Added the `execution-admission` module (domain → application →
adapters):
- Domain: policy patch parsing and application (omitted keeps, null
clears, partial updates keep other fields, malformed values are
rejected), canonical project-set preparation (primary ∪ references,
deduplicated, ascending, bounded with an explicit `too_many_projects`
result), and the settlement replay decision.
- Application: internal `readTaskExecutionPolicy` and
`updateTaskExecutionPolicy` commands. No route, tool, CLI or import
calls them.
- Adapter: the project-set lock (`FOR NO KEY UPDATE`, ascending, one
statement), the policy store, and the storage transitions
`recordAdmission`, `settleAdmission` and `countActiveProjectCharges`.
These transitions are not exported from the module entry point. Claims
(later) must add the capacity check and the lifecycle evidence.
- Project deletion returns `409 project_execution_admission_pending`
while the project has a charge. Agent deletion returns `409
agent_execution_admission_pending` while its runs have an unsettled
admission, and removes settled history. Company deletion calls a new
module participant before it deletes runs and projects.
- Documented the tables, the lifecycle rules and the proposed global
lock order in `doc/DATABASE.md`. Added module ownership to
`server/src/modules/README.md`.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run src/modules/execution-admission` → 2
files, 26 tests pass (the Greptile finding on an empty primary ID added
an assertion to an existing test). The adapter tests use embedded
PostgreSQL and cover:
  - policy semantics, the maximum check and the company foreign key;
- charges for every distinct project, a primaryless set and an empty set
(no rows);
- replay of one admission ID, conflict on a changed record, refusal of a
second live attempt and the partial unique index;
- settlement of the whole set once, replay, a different settlement, then
attempt 2 for the same run;
- company isolation of projects, runs and admission IDs, the
duplicate-charge key, and rollback of an aborted transaction;
- active counts per project, and an `EXPLAIN` that uses
`execution_admission_project_charges_project_idx`;
- archive keeps charges, `projectService.remove` returns 409, a direct
project delete fails on the foreign key, and delete succeeds after
settlement;
- `deleteAgentDependencies` returns 409 while unsettled, and
`deleteCompany` removes only that company's admissions.
- `cd packages/db && npx vitest run
src/execution-admission-migration.test.ts` → pass. It removes the new
tables and receipt, seeds a legacy project and run, applies pending
migrations, and compares the existing rows.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db check:migrations` → pass. Five
snapshots remain (`0421`, `0422`, `0424`, `0425`, `0426`; `0423` is
SQL-only on master).
- `node scripts/check-module-boundaries.mjs` → pass.
- `packages/db` `tsc --noEmit` → pass. A scoped `tsc` of the module
entry points and domain tests → pass.
- Existing tests for the changed deletion services → 6 files, 161 tests
pass (`resource-lifecycle-events`, `prompt-injection-prevention`,
`agent-lifecycle/lifecycle`, `case-deletion`,
`project-workspace-root-provenance`, `companies-service`).
- Not run locally: the full `server` typecheck. `tsc` and `tsgo` were
stopped by the out-of-memory killer on the 7 GB machine (exit 137, also
single-threaded). The full `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm test:run` and
`pnpm build` were not run locally; CI ran them on head `520b69d553`: all
gates pass, including Typecheck, Build and the 12 server test shards.
After merging master (`1c9ca5829f`) into head `c088729361`, the
migration check, migration upgrade test, module tests, module-boundary
check and `packages/db` typecheck were rerun locally and pass; CI is
rerunning the full suite.

## Risks

- Migration risk is low. It creates three empty tables and indexes. It
does not change existing tables or rows.
- Behavior changes only when admission rows exist. Nothing writes them
yet, so project, agent and company deletion behave as before.
- Later claim work must take the project-set lock in the documented
order. A claim that takes project locks after issue locks could deadlock
with project deletion.
- Settlement deletes charge rows, so a settled admission keeps its
primary project and context revision but not its full project set.
