DottaandPaperclip 8373d78679 fix(recovery): register missing native preservation on Retry (#17800)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people manage agents and their saved work.
> - Native runs can leave a prepared remote workspace after a control
deadline.
> - The deadline repair in #17788 records preservation for future
failures.
> - Older failed runs can still have an active lease without a
preservation owner.
> - Retry correctly refuses another executor, but nothing can finish the
missing preservation.
> - This pull request registers the exact prepared source through the
existing recovery services when the user retries.
> - The bounded maintenance worker can then stop the provider and save
its files before normal admission continues.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A historical failed native run has a prepared workspace and an active
retained allocation. It has no workspace preservation record. Ordinary
Retry cannot prove that the old executor stopped and has no maintenance
owner to produce that proof.

**Expected behavior**

A deliberate Retry registers missing preservation for the exact unowned
source. Existing recovery proves termination and saves the files.
Existing admission then checks current user authority, effects, pause
and budget gates before one successor can enter the queue.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Persist a failed native run with a prepared workspace, an active
lease and a terminal, unowned finalization.
2. Omit the workspace preservation record, as an older deadline handler
did.
3. Call the normal task Retry route. Before this fix, preservation
remains absent and Retry cannot continue.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The regression fails on `46de15ff4b99bbee59c38f32f4f30b80ad5bbd24`,
which already includes #17788.

Related: Refs #17788 (future deadline failures), #17741 (committed
recovery wakes), #17733 (connected Retry authority). #17773 adds source
diagnostics and does not repair this missing registration.

## What Changed

- Use native workspace preservation inside the existing issue-locked
Retry transaction. A live finalization owner remains held.
- Adopt a valid unowned preservation obligation through the existing
bounded maintenance service. Bind it to the deliberate Retry intent
without resetting an active generation.
- Add real PostgreSQL regressions for exact, mismatched and owned
sources. Verify that registration cannot create a termination receipt or
a successor.
- Exercise the HTTP route, worker, real temporary file merge and queue
admission with the stop reply held. Duplicate requests admit one queued
turn after preservation.
- Extend connected GitHub and Telegram Retry coverage for missing
historical preservation. Document the contract and access boundaries.

## Verification

- Red: the new historical-state regression fails on the base commit
because `workspaceRestoreRecovery` remains absent. The mismatched and
owned negative controls pass.
- Green: the three focused historical-state cases pass with the fix
against isolated local PostgreSQL 17.
- The local HTTP journey restores saved files and retains newer host
edits. It admits no successor while the provider stop reply is held. It
admits one successor after verified preservation. The real GitHub and
Telegram admission paths wait behind that recovery.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, `node scripts/check-maps.mjs` and
`git diff --check` pass.
- Green: 152 tests across four relevant suites, including all connected
Retry safety cases. The six new cases pass again on final head
`b8900801a3181fa673ea45f1129f968bbb08d1fd`.
- Final-head GitHub checks: 55 successful, two intentionally skipped
Storybook checks, and one neutral Paperclip bot review. Greptile is 5/5
with no unresolved threads. The Paperclip bot stopped before finishing
and supplied no approval.
- The full local command imported an earlier fixture revision before its
assertions were corrected. It reported those two stale connected-fixture
assertions and later hit the host PostgreSQL semaphore limit again. It
was stopped after final-head CI completed. It is not counted as a full
local pass; the complete CI test lanes passed on the final head.
- The first local rerun hit the Mac PostgreSQL semaphore limit before
assertions. Verification moved to an isolated disposable PostgreSQL
container. Early assembled fixtures also exposed the existing
destruction-cleanup gate; the retained-workspace fixture now uses its
actual `keep_running` disposition. This fix does not weaken cleanup.

## Risks

- Retry now registers maintenance for historical native failures. Exact
descriptor, allocation and coordinator checks remain owned by the
existing preservation service. Physical recovery still requires its
existing exclusive owner and provider stop receipt. Registration alone
grants no execution authority.
- No database migration or provider protocol changes. No model, trust,
assignment, retry-budget or external identity changes.
- Local recovery uses real database, filesystem, HTTP, worker and
admission code. Only the provider lifecycle boundary is simulated. No
hosted allocation or live model turn has been verified for this new
change.
- The workspace recovery test file crosses 1,000 lines because this case
shares its real database, filesystem and assembled route fixture.
Keeping it there avoids duplicating that fixture or extracting unrelated
production behavior.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, repository tools and code
execution. The exact model identifier and context-window size are not
exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip d33b40a5c3 fix: recover saved work and provide reliable task Retry (#16965)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The control plane must retain work when an execution or workspace
export fails.
> - Retained-workspace holds can leave saved input waiting with no
usable Retry action.
> - Users cannot verify process ownership or repair provider
allocations.
> - This pull request gives system recovery a durable budget and gives
each deliberate Retry a durable intent.
> - Safe recovery can preserve files, settle an accepted result, or
prepare an independent workspace.
> - One task state keeps infrastructure diagnostics out of the ordinary
conversation while preserving real permission and approval gates.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A task with a retained workspace can show recovery, failed-run and
saved-message warnings at the same time. Historical runs without native
workspace descriptors cannot use the native restore path. Old recovery
metadata can prevent a new attempt even when an independent workspace
would be safe.

**Expected behavior**

Paperclip owns bounded infrastructure retries and file preservation. A
user can request another attempt with ordinary Retry. Thinking appears
immediately. The service preserves completed effects and current user
controls. It does not claim that starting fresh recovered the old files.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Retain a failed run and its workspace after export or process-stop
failure.
2. Save a follow-up while the recovery hold is active.
3. Open the task and try to continue without infrastructure credentials
or operator certification.

Refs #16906, #16835, #16883. This extends their recovery and receipt
contracts. Related work: #16962 and #16963.

## What Changed

- Add task-level Retry with company-scoped authorization, all-status
idempotency and durable admission before physical work. Keep exact-run
Retry compatible.
- Add typed recovery phases, finite persisted backoff, historical
adoption and durable local failure diagnostics.
- Preserve native workspaces or verified historical snapshots. Admit an
independent fresh workspace only after execution containment. Keep
old-source preservation and cleanup obligations separate.
- Carry completed publication and API receipts forward. Fence uncertain
mutation retries across replacement runs. Preserve connected-chat
identity and authorization.
- Re-enter normal dispatch for saved input. Reuse accepted results
through the existing finalizer.
- Use one task interruption projection across the thread, composer and
task list. Show optimistic Thinking, ordinary Retry and genuine user
gates.
- Add PostgreSQL, filesystem, API, browser-fixture and controlled
provider coverage. Document the behavior and update the feature/access
maps.

## Verification

- All GitHub Actions CI jobs pass on
`6d8c6d27d50586d8548b31d03b47f6d73a0ee11d`: typecheck, all
server/chat/workspace and serialized suites, Runner checks, eight
browser shards, canary and build. The required merge gate passes.
- Greptile reviewed the final commit at 5/5, with no actionable findings
or unresolved review threads. Its two earlier P1 findings are fixed.
- Full recursive typecheck and build pass locally on the final commit.
All 16 task Retry cases pass against isolated real PostgreSQL. The
unrelated-success case and both stale Retry cases fail on the previous
code and pass after the fix.
- The corrected gateway fixture passes its uncertain-mutation and
independent-read case. Four real HTTP API cases pass for definite
403/422 rejection, completed-effect reuse, and uncertain-effect fences
across deliberate and automatic retries. These focused gateway/API
checks used a temporary database lifecycle harness on an existing
healthy local PostgreSQL process. The standard repository helper is
unchanged.
- Earlier qualification covers 291 task UI cases, saved-file copyback
and ancestry, current Agent Chat ownership races, nine chat Retry API
browser cases, and six assembled browser recovery fixtures. A real
API/PostgreSQL/native-runner journey showed Thinking in 25 ms despite a
delayed response, admitted one successor in a separate workspace,
retained original files, and survived reload.
- The controlled Daytona test interrupts export, joins the controller,
restarts it in a separate process, and verifies one agent start, one
external sentinel operation, retained file contents and no premature
cleanup. It does not establish abrupt-kill or live LLM/GitHub
acceptance.
- The full local `pnpm test:run` was attempted and was not green: an
OAuth row-lock timing assertion failed, and a later suite exhausted
macOS PostgreSQL semaphores. The ten OAuth timing cases passed on rerun
against a separate database. Later embedded database initialization
failures remain recorded; the final CI matrix passes.
- Security scanning passed on production-code commit
`63953edf069b111c6becc3144dffa6deb52f68b5`. Its only successor changes
one test-fixture identity line. The final scan is neutral/inconclusive
because its pinned merge-base checkout failed or timed out. Both rerun
API requests returned 404, so no fresh successful scan is claimed.
Socket and Snyk checks pass on the final head.
- The optional Paperclip Review remains queued behind an earlier run in
workspace finalization. Its prior completed assessment was incomplete
because a comparison tool was blocked by the platform filter. It is not
counted as a completed code review. GitHub does not require this check
for merge.
- Hosted acceptance remains pending deployment. Local and CI results do
not establish recovery of a hosted task or its retained files.

## Risks

- Recovery changes span admission, physical ownership and dispatch.
Incorrect evidence could permit overlapping work. Existing physical
locks and authoritative stop requirements remain in place.
- The migration adds concurrent indexes. It requires the existing
top-level migration runner and retries incomplete index creation safely.
- A fresh attempt can complete while old-source preservation remains
unresolved. The service retains that obligation and does not report
those files as recovered.
- Unknown tool mutations remain blocked until their authoritative
receipt owner resolves them. Generic upstream tools have no universal
result-query protocol.
- Recovery and diagnostics stay inside the stack. No Cloud incident
endpoint, notification worker or new outbound reporting channel is
included.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The runtime does not expose a more specific
model version or context-window size. The model used reasoning, shell
execution, source editing and browser tools. No model subagents were
used for this implementation.
