DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 3bf7af6c77 perf(plugins): read the lifecycle inbox from per-resource cursors (#20576)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Plugins get agent, project and agent runtime changes from the
`resource_lifecycle_events` journal. Each plugin acknowledges events one
resource at a time.
> - #20405 made the inbox page read linear in the company journal size.
The journal has no retention, so each page still reads every event of
the company to find the unacknowledged ones: about 1.7 s per 1M events.
> - The delivery worker reads a page again after each acknowledgment.
The idle-sleep check also reads the whole journal when all events are
acknowledged. `acknowledge` checks every older event of the resource.
> - On a hosted instance, the page read ran 181 times in one window at
about 1 s each.
> - This pull request adds a per-plugin, per-resource cursor. Reads
start at the cursor, so they do not read acknowledged history again.
> - The benefit is that page, idle-check and acknowledgment cost follow
the number of resources and pending events, not the journal size.
Delivery order and results stay the same.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20405

**What happened?**
The plugin lifecycle inbox page query (`select ... from
"resource_lifecycle_events" ... DISTINCT ON ...`) ran 181 times at about
1 s each on a hosted database in one window. Each acknowledgment causes
another full read of the company journal. The idle-sleep check
(`hasPending`) reads the full journal when all events are acknowledged.
`acknowledge` reads the full history of the resource.

**Expected behavior**
A page read, the idle-sleep check and an acknowledgment must not read
acknowledged history again. Their cost must not grow with the journal
size.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Give a company 400 agents with 2,500 `agent_runtime` events each (1M
events).
2. Acknowledge the first 2,000 events of each agent for one plugin.
3. Call `pluginLifecycleInbox(db, pluginId).list(companyId, 100,
undefined, ["agent", "project", "agent_runtime"])`.
4. The read takes about 1.7 s. `hasPending` takes about 240 ms.

**Paperclip version or commit**
`8d2bf78323` (master).

**Deployment mode**
Hosted (PostgreSQL). Local repro uses embedded PostgreSQL 18.

## What Changed

- `packages/db/src/schema/plugin_lifecycle_resource_cursors.ts`: new
table `plugin_lifecycle_resource_cursors`. It has one row per plugin,
company, resource type and resource id. `acknowledged_through_id` means:
every event of that resource at or below this id is acknowledged by the
plugin. Plugin and company deletion cascade.
- Migration `0462_plugin_lifecycle_resource_cursors`: creates the table
and carries existing acknowledgments forward (see Risks for the
previous-release story).
- `server/src/services/plugin-lifecycle-inbox.ts`:
- `list` and `hasPending` use a backward loose index scan on
`resource_lifecycle_events_resource_order_idx`. It visits each resource
stream once and gets its latest event id. A stream whose latest event is
at or below its cursor is settled and is not read again. For other
streams, the read gets one head: the unacknowledged creation, else the
first unacknowledged transition above the cursor. Then it applies
`afterId`, id order and the limit, as before.
- `acknowledge` reads only the events between the cursor and the
acknowledged event. It still writes the per-event
`plugin_lifecycle_acknowledgments` row. It moves the cursor only over a
contiguous acknowledged prefix. A creation recorded after a pending
transition does not move the cursor.
- An event counts as acknowledged when it is at or below the cursor, or
when it has an acknowledgment row. Thus rows written by an earlier
release, and gaps in old history, keep their current behavior.
- `server/src/__tests__/resource-lifecycle-events.test.ts`: new database
tests for the migration carry-forward, gaps, late creations, cursor
reads, the rollback rows and the plugin-delete cascade. All tests from
#20405 still pass without change.
- `scripts/benchmark-plugin-lifecycle-inbox.ts`: runs the migration
backfill on the fixture and times it. Adds an acknowledgment case. Runs
`VACUUM ANALYZE`, because hosted tables are autovacuumed.
- `doc/DATABASE.md`: describes the cursor, its read cost and the
migration.
- The delivery worker (`plugin-lifecycle-delivery.ts`) is not changed.

## Verification

Thesis: the cost is a read of the whole company journal (page, idle
check) or the whole resource history (acknowledgment). If a per-resource
cursor marks the acknowledged prefix, each read can skip that prefix.
Then the cost follows the number of resource streams and pending events.
The rows must stay equal.

Local SQL timings: embedded PostgreSQL 18.1 on Apple Silicon, synthetic
data, warm cache, one warmup, 7 samples, baseline and treatment order
alternate per sample. The machine was shared with other jobs (load
average about 35), so spread is wide. Values are median (min to max) in
ms. Rows are equal (`assert.deepEqual`) for every list and probe case.

`project-instance-secrets.test.ts`: 86 passed.
`agent-runtime-hooks.test.ts`: 22 passed.
- `tsc --noEmit -p server`: pass. `check:migrations`: pass.

## Risks

- **Schema change.** Migration `0462` adds one table and two foreign
keys to `plugins` and `companies`. It adds no index on an existing
table. The backfill reads the acknowledgment table once. It took 4.6 s
to 15.6 s on 1M-event fixtures with 0.8M to 1M acknowledgments.
- **Migration order.** The number `0462` is reserved after open PRs that
use `0459` to `0461` (#20571, #20568, #20573). Merge this PR after them.
Before merge, rebase onto master and chain the snapshot after the latest
migration.
- **Previous-release story.**
- Upgrade: the backfill stores, per plugin and resource, the end of the
contiguous acknowledged prefix. A cursor never passes an unacknowledged
event, so no event is lost. Acknowledged events above a gap keep their
rows, so no event is delivered again. A test runs the migration
statement on rows that only an earlier release wrote and checks that
`list` returns the same rows before and after.
- Rolling deploy: an earlier release that still runs writes only
acknowledgment rows. The new reads honor those rows.
- Rollback: the new code still writes every acknowledgment row, so an
earlier release sees the same progress.
- **Ordering assumption.** The cursor is safe because writers record a
resource's events while they hold that resource's row lock
(`paperclip_record_agent_runtime` locks the agent row; agent status and
project writers document the lock). Thus a later commit for the same
resource always has a higher id. A writer that breaks this contract
could commit an event below the cursor, and that event would not be
delivered. A lower id from a different resource is still delivered
(existing test).
- **Slower path.** A page that asks only for `agent` and `project`
streams is 1 to 11 ms slower. These streams are short, so the old full
read was cheap, and the new read visits each stream once. The cost is
bounded by the number of resources.
- **Many resources.** The page cost grows with the number of resource
streams of the requested types. At 5,000 agents a page is about 77 ms,
compared with about 1.9 s before.
- The hosted planner can choose a different plan. The hosted improvement
is not yet measured.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 8e4c5e81b9 perf(issues): read created-from tasks by index and inbox review waits by page (#20573)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The task page shows "Created from this task". The inbox shows
blocked-inbox attention for a page of tasks.
> - On a hosted database, the created-from list ran about 4,000 times in
one afternoon at about 499 ms each. The task page sends it each time a
task opens.
> - Its filter was an `OR` of three provenance paths over the list's own
rows. PostgreSQL could not use an index for it. It read every task of
the company and tested each one, with the list's other per-row
conditions (such as the chat conversation state subquery).
> - The blocked-inbox attention map also read external review waits for
every in-review task of the company, not only for the tasks of the page.
> - This pull request reads created-from tasks from three index probes,
and reads review waits only for the in-review tasks that can change a
finding of the page.
> - The benefit is less database work on each task open and each inbox
page. The responses stay the same.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20400 (shares review-wait reads between the attention maps of one
request).
Refs #20551 (authorizes the review waits of a page with one read; this
change narrows the waits that the page asks for, and adds a test that
pins the batched read).
Refs #13241 (adds the created-from list).

**What happened**

- `GET /api/companies/:id/issues?createdFromIssueId=…` used
`createdFromIssueCondition`. Its filter was `origin_issue_id = source OR
(origin_issue_id IS NULL AND origin_run_id IN source runs) OR (… AND
EXISTS creation activity of a source run)`. The `OR` stops index use, so
the statement read every task of the company. The list's other
conditions, which include the chat conversation state subquery, ran for
each task before the task was excluded.
- `listIssueBlockedInboxAttentionMap` read review waits for every
in-review task of the company graph. The caller uses the findings of the
page rows only.

**Expected behavior**

The created-from list reads only the created tasks. The blocked-inbox
map reads review waits only for in-review tasks that the liveness
classifier can read for a page row. The rows, the order, and the
attention values do not change.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Use a company with tens of thousands of tasks, runs, and activity
rows.
2. Open a task page. Look at the created-from list statement: it reads
the full task set of the company.
3. Open an inbox page with blocked-inbox attention. Look at the
review-wait read: it gets the ID of every in-review task of the company.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/issue-creation-origin.ts`:
`createdFromIssueCondition` is now `issues.id <> source AND issues.id IN
(three branches)`. Each branch starts from an index:
  - recorded origin task: `issues_company_origin_issue_idx`;
- legacy origin run: the source task's runs
(`heartbeat_runs_company_origin_issue_idx`), then the new partial index
on `issues (company_id, origin_run_id)`;
- creation activity: `activity_log_run_id_idx` for the source runs, then
the task by primary key.
The precedence does not change: a recorded origin task wins, the run
path applies only without one, and the activity path applies only
without both. The activity path matches only an `entity_id` that is the
canonical text of the task ID, as before (it also compares `id::text =
entity_id`).
- `packages/db`: add `issues_company_legacy_origin_run_idx` on `issues
(company_id, origin_run_id) WHERE origin_issue_id IS NULL AND
origin_run_id IS NOT NULL`. Migration `0461` creates it with `CREATE
INDEX CONCURRENTLY IF NOT EXISTS` and is registered with the other
concurrent migrations. `doc/DATABASE.md` documents the index and the
benchmark command.
- `server/src/services/issues.ts`: add `blockedInboxReviewWaitIssueIds`.
It returns the in-review tasks in the blocker closure of the page rows.
The blocked-inbox map reads review waits only for these tasks. The
liveness classifier reads a wait only for a row or for a blocker that it
reaches from a row, and the caller reads only the findings of the rows.
The classifier does not change.
- Tests:
- `issue-created-from-routes.test.ts`: new cases for precedence in both
directions, a source-run comment, an activity row whose task has another
origin run, a non-canonical and a non-UUID activity entity ID, the
source's own creation activity, and other-company rows.
- `blocked-inbox-review-wait-scope.test.ts`: the narrowed set for
chains, cycles, shared blockers and off-page tasks. The rows get the
same findings with the narrowed waits as with the waits of every
in-review task, and each narrowed wait is needed.
- `issue-list-review-wait-authorization.integration.test.ts`: on real
PostgreSQL with two authorized waits, `listExternalReviewWaits` and one
issue-list request with blocked-inbox attention each send one bound-run
message-link statement. With the per-wait authorization from before
#20551, both tests fail (2 statements).
- `scripts/benchmark-created-from-issues.ts`: local benchmark. It loads
the baseline `issues.ts` and `issue-creation-origin.ts` from a pinned
commit, asserts identical complete row payloads, and reports alternating
timings and `EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, BUFFERS)`.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/issue-created-from-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/blocked-inbox-review-wait-scope.test.ts
src/__tests__/issue-list-review-wait-authorization.integration.test.ts

src/__tests__/issues-parent-id-alias.test.ts
src/__tests__/batched-chat-authorization.integration.test.ts
src/__tests__/issue-liveness.test.ts` passes (126 tests). One timing
test in `issue-list-assignee-filter-routes` failed one time under
machine load and passed on rerun.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` and `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/db check:migrations` pass.
- `pnpm verify` asks for broader verification because the change adds a
file under `scripts/`. Required CI supplies that coverage.
- Benchmark: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsx
../scripts/benchmark-created-from-issues.ts --baseline-ref=bd30ef8510`

Fixture (synthetic, local PostgreSQL 18.1): one company with 30,000
tasks (10,628 with a recorded origin task, 10,445 with only a legacy
origin run), 60,030 runs with wide context snapshots (145 MB), and
261,079 activity rows; a second company with 10,000 tasks and 20,000
runs. The busy source task has 63 created tasks through all three paths,
plus decoys. The quiet source task has 3. The UI's page: `sortField=id`,
`asc`, `limit=500`, routine executions included. Both versions return
identical complete payloads. 9 alternating pairs after 2 warm-up pairs:

| Case | List statement before | List statement after | List call
before, median (min to max) | List call after, median (min to max) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Busy source (63 tasks) | 234.9 ms, 47,437 buffers | 0.90 ms, 437
buffers | 156.0 ms (114.5 to 480.7) | 31.6 ms (19.9 to 62.7) |
| Quiet source (3 tasks) | 90.7 ms, 47,413 buffers | 0.25 ms, 46 buffers
| 126.1 ms (90.6 to 300.4) | 10.5 ms (7.2 to 26.1) |

The list call time includes the enrichment reads (labels, runs,
attention), which do not change.

Inbox page (50 open tasks, blocked-inbox attention): the review-wait
read goes from 2 statements with 1,215 parameters (every in-review task
of the company) to 1 statement with 31 parameters. The page time does
not change in this fixture (median 801 ms before, 873 ms after, both
with a wide spread), because the fixture has no review waits and the
other graph reads of the map are most of the time. With real waits, the
server does an inherited GitHub review read for each wait it finds, so
the gain grows with the number of off-page waits.

Migration timing (local PostgreSQL 18.1): `0461` (measured as the same
statement under its earlier number) on 500,000 tasks (846 MB, 20
companies, one third with a legacy origin run) takes 1.6 s. The index is
12 MB.

## Risks

- The new index adds a small write cost to tasks with only an origin
run. New tasks with a source task record `origin_issue_id`, so the index
holds mostly older tasks. The migration does not lock writes.
- The created-from rewrite must keep the same rows. The new tests and
the benchmark payload check cover precedence, company scope, and ID text
forms. Visibility and read filters are the list's other conditions and
do not change.
- The review-wait narrowing depends on the liveness classifier reading
waits only for rows and their blocker chains. A unit test compares the
findings of the rows with full and narrowed waits. A future classifier
change that reads waits of other tasks must update
`blockedInboxReviewWaitIssueIds`. The function comment says this.
- The local timings are synthetic. Hosted acceptance needs a fresh
query-statistics window after deployment.

## Model Used

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 1805a1d247 perf(workspaces): probe workspace run bindings through indexes (#20568)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The terminal workspace sweep checks each Git workspace for recent
activity and for live consumers before it expires or moves the workspace
> - These checks find the runs of a workspace with one SQL scope,
`expirationScope`. The scope used one `OR` over all run bindings, and
one branch decoded the context JSON of each run
> - PostgreSQL could not use an index for that `OR`. Each check read
every run of the company and its large context from TOAST. On a hosted
database, each call took 2 to 5 seconds, about 5,200 s in total in one
window
> - This pull request splits the scope into one index probe per binding
and adds one concurrent expression index for the legacy
`executionWorkspaceId` context key
> - The benefit is that each check reads a few index entries instead of
all company runs. The cleanup decisions do not change

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The workspace activity and cleanup-safety checks:
`gitWorkspaceLastActivityAt`, `isGitWorkspaceExpirationEligible`,
`workspaceMoveEligible` and the orphan-folder consumer check. All of
them use `expirationScope` in
`server/src/services/git-workspace-expiration.ts`.

**Subsystem affected**
Execution workspace cleanup in the server
(`git-workspace-expiration.ts`, `isolated-repository-rehome.ts`,
`isolated-task-directory-retention.ts` through the shared scope) and the
`heartbeat_runs` schema in `packages/db`.

**Current behavior**
The `relevant_runs` CTE selects company runs where any of these is true:
`issue_id` or `native_issue_id` is in the issue tree or the bound
issues, the run is a bound issue's checkout or execution run, or the
context JSON has a matching `issueId`, `taskId` or
`executionWorkspaceId`. The planner does one sequential scan of the
company runs and reads each context from TOAST. The cost grows with the
run history of the company, not with the size of the workspace.

**Proposed behavior**
Each binding is a separate index probe. The `UNION` of run IDs goes to a
primary-key probe. The SQL gives the same rows.

**Reason and benefit**
Local SQL measurements show a 34x to 169x decrease in time. The decrease
grows with the run history (see Verification).

## What Changed

- `expirationScope` builds `relevant_runs` from a `UNION` of index
probes, one for each binding. The key sets go in as arrays (`=
ANY(ARRAY(...))`). With `IN (subquery)`, the planner chose a hash join
over a full scan, because it does not count the cost of reading TOASTed
contexts.
- The legacy context keys use `context_snapshot ->> 'key'`. This
expression matches the existing indexes
`heartbeat_runs_company_ctx_issue_created_idx` and
`heartbeat_runs_company_ctx_task_created_idx`. For a non-object context,
`->>` gives `NULL`, as the strict JSONPath decode did. Such a run can
still match through a native binding.
- New partial index `heartbeat_runs_company_ctx_execution_workspace_idx`
on `(company_id, context_snapshot ->> 'executionWorkspaceId') WHERE
context_snapshot ? 'executionWorkspaceId'`. The query repeats the
predicate. For an array context, `?` can be true, but `->>` gives
`NULL`, so the result does not change. The index is partial so that it
serves only this probe. A full index that starts with `company_id` made
the planner choose it for an unrelated company-scoped query. Migration
0460 builds it with `CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY IF NOT EXISTS`. The
migration is in the list of migrations that run outside a transaction.
- New tests: a legacy `issueId` or `executionWorkspaceId` binding on a
run that is bound to a different issue still blocks cleanup. A plan test
with `enable_seqscan = off` checks that no binding scans
`heartbeat_runs` and that the three context indexes are used.
- The benchmark script `scripts/benchmark-workspace-activity.ts` gets a
`--runs-per-workspace` option. Unrelated fixture runs now have distinct
context IDs, as real history does.
- `doc/DATABASE.md` describes the probes and the new index.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/git-workspace-activity.test.ts
src/__tests__/native-harness-backup-expiration.test.ts`: 132 of 132
tests pass. The second file checks that the native session index stays
the planner's choice for its query. These include the existing route

Before: one `Seq Scan` on `heartbeat_runs`. After:
`heartbeat_runs_company_issue_created_idx`,
`heartbeat_runs_company_native_issue_contract_id_uq`, the three context
indexes and `heartbeat_runs_pkey`.
- Index build time: on a synthetic table with 200,000 runs and 8 KiB
contexts (1.8 GB), the full form of this index took 3.7 s to build
concurrently and used 15 MB. The partial index reads the same rows and
holds only runs that have the key.

## Risks

- Cleanup safety: a wrong "allowed" result could delete an active
workspace. The scope keeps every binding of the old query. The benchmark
checks exact equality of the run sets, and the existing tests check each
binding route and each veto.
- Migration: the index build reads every run context once. It runs
concurrently and does not block writes. Until migration 0460 builds the
index, the new query is still correct but the `executionWorkspaceId`
probe scans.
- Plan choice: the array form makes index probes the cheapest plan for a
small tree. A very large issue tree gives a large array, but each
element is still one index probe.
- The sweep frequency does not change. This pull request reduces only
the cost of each check.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 d5c1f48180 perf(native): index the backup lease lookup by scope digest (#20571)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native harness backup expiration removes old session backups. Before
it removes a backup, it finds the environment leases that reference the
backup root
> - This lookup reads leases by run ID, by the
`metadata.nativeHarnessBackup.sessionScopeSha256` digest, or by the
identity's own lease ID, in one `OR` query
> - The metadata arm has no index. So PostgreSQL reads every lease of
the company, and the metadata of each lease, for each lookup
> - On a hosted test database, this statement ran 21,736 times at a mean
of 158 ms in one window. After other fixes, it still ran 2,364 times at
a mean of 121 ms
> - This pull request adds a small partial expression index on the
digest
> - The benefit is that each lookup reads a few index entries instead of
all company leases. The query text and the result do not change

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The lease lookup in `backupDependencies` in
`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-harness-backup-expiration.ts`.
`reconcileBackup` calls it for each backup root when the expiration
worker loads or checks a root.

**Subsystem affected**
Native harness backup expiration and the `environment_leases` table
schema.

**Current behavior**
The query is `company_id = $1 and (heartbeat_run_id in (...) or
metadata->'nativeHarnessBackup'->>'sessionScopeSha256' = $n or id =
$m)`. The run arm and the ID arm have indexes. The digest arm has no
index. A `BitmapOr` plan needs an index for every arm, so the planner
reads all company leases and evaluates the JSON expression on each row.
Lease metadata holds sandbox details, so these reads are large.

**Proposed behavior**
The partial index `environment_leases_native_backup_scope_idx` keys
leases by the digest. It holds only leases that have a backup stamp.
Every arm of the `OR` now has an index, and the planner combines three
index probes. The SQL and the returned lease IDs do not change.

**Reason and benefit**
This statement was in the top ten by total database time on a loaded
hosted database. A local reproduction shows a query that is more than
6,000x faster and reads 9 buffers instead of about 436,000.

**Breaking changes**
None. The API, the lease-matching rules and the results do not change.

## What Changed

- Add the partial expression index
`environment_leases_native_backup_scope_idx` on
`(metadata->'nativeHarnessBackup'->>'sessionScopeSha256')`, where that
value is not null.
- Add migration `0459`. It uses `CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY IF NOT
EXISTS`. The migration runner runs it as a top-level statement, the same
as migrations 0454–0458.
- Add a regression test. It checks the lease-matching rules: run leases,
a lease with only the backup stamp, and the identity's own lease match.
Another digest, a non-string stamp, a top-level key with the same name,
and the same digest in another company do not match. The test also
checks that the custom plan and a forced generic plan of the generated
SQL use `BitmapOr` with the new index and no sequential scan.
- Add `scripts/benchmark-environment-lease-backup-lookup.ts`. It
captures the SQL that the real service generates and measures it with
and without the index.
- Document the index in `doc/DATABASE.md`.

## Verification

Cause and thesis. The cost comes from the one `OR` arm without an index,
which forces a scan of all company leases and their metadata. Thesis: an
index on the digest lets the planner use a `BitmapOr` of three index
probes, so the cost no longer depends on the company's lease count. The
results stay identical. The benchmark confirms the thesis.

I did not change the SQL. With the index, the existing `OR` query
already gets the index plan. A `UNION` rewrite would not help without
the index, because the digest arm would still scan the company.

Local SQL benchmark:

```sh
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsx ../scripts/benchmark-environment-lease-backup-lookup.ts
```

Fixture (synthetic): one company with 100,000 leases with 4 KiB of
incompressible metadata each. 30% of the leases have a backup stamp for
another session. A second company has 20,000 leases. The table is 678
MB. The backup root has 3 run leases, 1 lease with only the stamp, and 1
identity lease. The same digest is also in the other company. Embedded
PostgreSQL 18 on an Apple laptop, which other work loaded heavily. The
hosted database is Neon with different compute, so absolute times are
local SQL measurements only.

The script measures in the order: no index, index, no index, index. Each
measurement has 2 warmups and 11 samples of `EXPLAIN ANALYZE` execution
time and of the full `reconcileBackup` call.

| Measurement | Without index | With index |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Lease query execution, run 1 | median 196 ms (138–562 ms) | median
0.010 ms (0.007–0.017 ms) |
| Lease query execution, run 2 | median 185 ms (144–295 ms) | median
0.030 ms (0.020–0.045 ms) |
| `reconcileBackup` wall time (includes file reads), runs 1 and 2 |
median 188 ms and 216 ms | median 1.4 ms and 4.2 ms |
| Plan | `Gather > Seq Scan` | `Bitmap Heap Scan > BitmapOr` of
`heartbeat_run_idx`, the new index and `pkey` |
| Buffers | 365,880 hit + 70,050 read | 9 hit |

These numbers are from head `65bd9d7ac6`. The final head only renumbers
the migration to 0459 after rebases; the SQL, the index and the service
code are the same. Two earlier runs on the same fixture, SQL and index
gave 236–425 ms without the index and 0.023–0.033 ms with the index. The
machine had heavy load from other work, so the spread without the index
is wide. Output check: in all four measurements, the service returned
the same 5 lease IDs, and the complete query rows were equal.

Index build (`CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY` from the migration file):
0.8–2.4 s for the 678 MB table over all runs. Index size: 3.4 MB with
30% of leases stamped.

Tests:

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/native-harness-backup-expiration.test.ts`: 109 passed. The
new test failed when I dropped the index before the plan check
(confirmed red), and it passes with the index.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db check:migrations`: passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db typecheck` and `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/server typecheck`: passed.
- `pnpm verify`: it asks for broader coverage (exit 2) because of the
new script. See the CI results for this head.

## Risks

- Migration time. A concurrent index build reads the full
`environment_leases` table and does not block writes. Locally, the build
took 0.8–2.4 s for 678 MB. The time grows linearly with the table size.
I did not time it on a production-size clone. I expect a few seconds to
tens of seconds on a large instance, which is in the 1–2 minute budget.
This estimate is not proven.
- If the build stops, PostgreSQL can leave an invalid index. The
migration runner repairs invalid concurrent indexes when it runs again,
and `IF NOT EXISTS` makes a rerun safe.
- The index expression must stay textually equal to the query
expression. If someone changes the JSON path, the planner cannot use the
index. The new test catches this for custom and generic plans.
- The index is partial, so ANALYZE does not collect statistics for the
expression. The planner uses the default equality estimate. On the large
fixture and in the small test, the planner still selects the index plan.
A company with very few leases can still get a sequential scan, which is
cheap.
- Each lease write with a backup stamp writes one more small index
entry. The write cost is small.
- This change does not reduce how often the worker calls the lookup. It
makes each call cheap. The other digest lookups in backup retention
(`native-harness-backup-retention.ts`) and session retention checks can
also use the index.
- Previous-release story: no persisted state changes. The index is
derived from existing lease metadata.
- The hosted improvement is not verified until deployment. After
deployment, compare a new query-statistics window for this statement.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 6ed6b0754b perf(recovery): probe recovery source runs and stale-continuation runs by key (#20584)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The workspace recovery worker saves the files of failed runs. After
each pass, it reads the time of its next deadline
(`nextWorkspaceRecoveryAt`)
> - That read finds the source run, its finalizer and its leases with

Each exhausted hold read every run, finalizer and lease of its company
> - On a hosted staging database this statement used about 4 s per call
(21 calls in the sample window). The cost grows with exhausted holds
multiplied by the company's run count
> - The ownership reconciler's stale-continuation check
(`checkStaleDroppedComments`) has the run lookup shape that #20412 fixed
in the lost-wake check: one OR across the legacy context and the native
column
> - This pull request compares the run id as a canonical uuid, and it
gives the stale-continuation check the per-binding run probes from
#20412
> - The benefit is the same recovery decisions with index-driven work:
11 s to 93 ms for the deadline read on a representative local fixture

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20412

**What happened?**

The workspace recovery deadline read was one of the most expensive
statements that remained on a hosted staging database after the fixes in
#20393, #20405, #20386, #20412, #20391 and #20400. Query statistics
showed about 4 s per call. The statement text starts with `select case
when (issue_recovery_actions.…`.

The statement evaluates the retained-source fallback and stop-proof
conditions for each recovery action. These conditions read the source
run (`heartbeat_runs`), its finalizer (`native_run_finalizations`) and
its leases (`environment_leases`) with `x.id::text =
evidence->>'runId'`. The cast prevents the use of the primary key.
PostgreSQL reads all rows of the company for each exhausted hold. The
worker's discovery (`retainedWorkspaceCandidates`) uses the same
conditions.

The stale-continuation check matched a task's runs with
`(context_snapshot->>'issueId' = issue OR native_issue_id = issue)`.
With the OR, PostgreSQL can join runs only by company. It also hashed
every wake request of the company for the stale-wake test.

**Expected behavior**

Each condition uses a key lookup. The worker and the reconciler make the
same decisions for the same saved state.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Seed a company with a deep run history and a few thousand workspace
recovery actions. Let a few hundred be exhausted holds that stay active.
2. Call `nextWorkspaceRecoveryAt`.
3. The call takes seconds, and its time grows with holds multiplied by
runs. The benchmark below shows this.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Baseline: `8d2bf78323`.

**Deployment mode**

Server with PostgreSQL. The local proof uses disposable PostgreSQL 18.1.
Staging uses hosted PostgreSQL.

## What Changed

- `workspace-recovery-fallback-discovery.ts`: the source run, finalizer
and lease probes compare `id =
canonicalExecutionUuid(evidence->>'runId')`. The helper returns null
unless the text is the canonical lowercase uuid form. Thus the probe
matches exactly the rows that `id::text = evidence->>'runId'` matched.
The helper already exists in `execution-identity.ts`.
- `nextWorkspaceRecoveryAt` and worker discovery use these conditions.
Their SQL changes only in these probes.
- `checkStaleDroppedComments` reads in two stages. The first stage keeps
comments that a stale-continuation cancellation dropped and that no open
wake carries. The second stage applies the run probes. The run probes
use the `taskRuns` helper from #20412, which is now shared by both
checks. The stale-wake lookup ends with `offset 0`, so it stays a
per-comment index probe.
- The final `order by c.created_at limit N`, the projection and the
delivery check after the query do not change.
- Add `scripts/benchmark-recovery-status-checks.ts`. It loads the
changed files from an explicit baseline commit and from the working
tree. Before it records time, it compares every changed condition for
every recovery action, the complete service results and the positional
SQL rows.
- Add tests: each run binding in the stale-continuation check (native,
legacy, live run on either binding, wrong agent, wrong company, failed
run, run outside the comment time, closed by a person, open wake). Also
a test that a hold with a non-canonical saved run id is not discovered,
as before.
- Document both checks and the benchmark in `doc/DATABASE.md`.
- No schema change, index, migration, or new startup work.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run
src/__tests__/ownership-reconciliation-report.test.ts
src/services/workspace-recovery-fallback.test.ts
src/services/workspace-recovery-stop-proof.test.ts
src/__tests__/heartbeat-held-comment-wake.test.ts --maxWorkers=1` (from
`server/`).
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsx
../scripts/benchmark-recovery-status-checks.ts --baseline-ref=8d2bf78323
--samples=7`

Benchmark setup: PostgreSQL 18.1 (embedded, local), `shared_buffers` 128
MB, `work_mem` 4 MB. All data is synthetic, with md5-hex filler. Each
fixture has two companies (full size and a quarter). Two warmup rounds,
then 7 timed samples for each arm, in alternating order. Each sample
runs the real service function and asserts the same result. These are
local SQL measurements on a shared machine, so the spread is wide.

Workspace recovery deadline (`nextWorkspaceRecoveryAt`). About 8% of
actions are exhausted holds that stay active. Some actions save a
non-canonical (uppercase) run id. Before timing, the benchmark compares
six conditions (fallback pending, due time, due; re-arm pending, due
time, due) for every action of the fixture.

| Fixture | Runs / actions / pending holds | Baseline median (min–max) |
Treatment median (min–max) | Shared buffers |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| small | 6,500 / 255 / 36 | 50.9 ms (47–76) | 6.8 ms (6–8) | 19,133 →
1,075 |
| representative | 78,750 / 3,813 / 588 | 11,098 ms (8,277–12,790) | 93
ms (35–145) | 3,493,417 → 24,902 |
| deep history | 191,250 / 3,813 / 588 | 40,146 ms (31,190–52,521) | 40
ms (36–230) | 13,491,792 → 26,911 |

Stale-continuation check (`checkStaleDroppedComments`). The fixture is
pessimistic: more than half of recent comments on done tasks have a
stale cancelled wake. The table shows statement time from `EXPLAIN
ANALYZE` with default settings, and one statement run with
`enable_nestloop = off` (the company-only hash plan). The result is
checked as equal in both modes.

| Fixture | Runs / recent comments / reported | Statement, baseline →
treatment | Hash plan, baseline → treatment |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| small | 3,792 / 76 / 24 | 3.2 → 1.5 ms | 5.5 → 3.8 ms |
| representative | 75,406 / 1,125 / 200 (limit) | 34 → 26 ms | 66 → 25
ms |
| busy hour | 152,031 / 5,625 / 200 (limit) | 328 → 153 ms | 2,302 → 165
ms |

- Neutral path: the complete stale-continuation service call stays about
the same (busy hour 750 → 655 ms median). The per-comment delivery check
after the query (`deliveredQueuedCommentIds`) is most of that time. This
change does not touch it.

## Risks

- Low risk. Every predicate keeps the same logic. Only the probe shape
and the evaluation order change. The benchmark compares each changed
condition for every recovery action, including non-canonical saved run
ids, and the complete results of both checks.
- Previous-release story: no saved state, schema or identity changes.
Holds saved by older releases are read with the same rules, so they
carry forward unchanged.
- Rows with the same comment `created_at` have no defined order, as
before.

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, used through Claude
Code with tool use (shell, file edits, local PostgreSQL).

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 d82e5efeb9 perf(ui): cut repeated reads while a task is open (#20563)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The board UI keeps an open task current with a shared company
websocket and with polling fallbacks
> - In a busy company, one open task sent 35 to 60 API requests in 17
seconds, and each request waits on the database
> - Most of these requests were repeated reads: task summaries 22 times,
the task run list 11 times, task browsers 6 times, and the 60 KB agent
list 6 times
> - The cause is not the open task. Other agents' run and task events
invalidate company-wide lists on every 300 ms batch, and the task view
polls runs and browsers on fixed intervals even while the websocket is
open
> - This pull request spaces company-wide refreshes, and it lets the
websocket replace run and browser polling while it is connected
> - The benefit is about 79% fewer reads from an open task in a busy
company, with the same polling fallback when the connection is down

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17608
Refs #9627

**What happened?**

An open task in a busy company sent the same reads again and again. In
one 17-second visit, the UI requested `issues/summaries` 22 times, the
task live runs 11 times, the task browsers 6 times, and the company
agent list 6 times. The company live runs and the task's child lists
(`parentId`, `createdFromIssueId`, `descendantOf`) were requested 2 to 3
times each.

**Expected behavior**

A busy company must not make an open task refetch company-wide lists on
every event batch. While the live connection is open, the UI must use
events, not fixed fast intervals, for task runs and browsers. The UI
must keep its polling fallback when the connection is closed.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Open a task in a company where other agents run work.
2. Keep the task open for 17 seconds.
3. Count the API requests in the browser network panel.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Based on master at bd30ef8510.

## What Changed

- `ui/src/lib/query-invalidation-batcher.ts`: Add a minimum spacing
option to the invalidation batcher. A quiet lane flushes after the
normal batch interval. A busy lane flushes at most once per spacing
window. Add `createLaneRoutingBatcher`, which sends each invalidation to
one of two batchers by query key.
- `ui/src/context/LiveUpdatesProvider.tsx`: Route company-wide keys to a
5-second ambient lane. These keys are task lists and summaries, the
agent list, heartbeats, company live runs, sidebar badges, the
dashboard, costs and the company activity feed. All other keys, such as
task detail, comments, task runs and browsers, keep the 300 ms lane.
- `ui/src/lib/live-runs-cache.ts`: While the company connection is open,
a successful active run list or active run polls every 15 seconds
instead of every 1 or 3 seconds. Run lifecycle events already refresh
these queries, and progress events patch them.
- `ui/src/hooks/useTaskBrowsers.ts`: While the company connection is
open, stop browser polling when no browser can change state. Keep the
3-second poll for a starting, running, idle or stopping browser, and
when the connection is closed. The two callers pass the task's company.
Socket open and reconnect already reconcile this active query.
- `ui/src/lib/task-browsers-refresh.ts` and `LiveUpdatesProvider.tsx`:
On `browser.*` activity for a task, refresh that task's browser list. If
a read is in flight, one shared follow-up read runs after it settles, so
an older empty result cannot stop polling. Two views of the same task
share that follow-up. A list that no view observes becomes stale, so a
returning view reads it. When the connection opens or resyncs, each
browser list with a read in flight also gets one follow-up read, because
missed activity is not replayed.
- `doc/DATABASE.md`: Document the ambient lane and the new polling
contract.
- Tests: Add a fan-out test that replays a busy-company event stream for
17 seconds against an open task, plus unit tests for spacing, lane
routing, key classification, the run interval and the browser interval.
Update the recovery test for the connected active-run interval.

## Verification

Request count over a fixed 17-second open window
(`ui/src/context/LiveUpdatesProvider.fanout.test.ts`). The test mounts
the reads that an open, running task keeps active. It replays a busy
company: one run status event every second and one task activity event
every 0.7 seconds, none for the open task. Fake timers make each run
deterministic, so the spread is zero. The baseline used the same test
with master's batcher, run interval and browser interval.

| Read | Before | After |
| --- | ---: | ---: |
| Task summaries (sidebar) | 24 | 5 |
| Company agent list | 17 | 5 |
| Company live runs | 17 | 5 |
| Child list: parent | 24 | 5 |
| Child list: created from | 24 | 5 |
| Child list: descendants | 24 | 5 |
| Task live runs | 18 | 2 |
| Task browsers | 6 | 1 |
| **Total** | **154** | **33** |

The baseline numbers match the staging capture well (summaries 22,
browsers 6).

- `pnpm exec vitest run src/context/LiveUpdatesProvider*.test.*
src/lib/live-runs-cache.test.ts
src/lib/query-invalidation-batcher.test.ts
src/hooks/useTaskBrowsers.test.ts src/lib/task-browsers-refresh.test.ts
src/hooks/useTaskPluginPanels.test.tsx
src/components/task-side-panel/TaskSidePanel.test.tsx
src/pages/IssueDetail.test.tsx` (in `ui/`): all pass.
- `pnpm exec tsc --noEmit -p ui`: no errors in `ui/src`.
- `pnpm check:token-gates`: clean.
- Tests also prove these cases:
- With the connection closed, task runs still poll every second and
browsers every 3 seconds.
- With a quiet company, one event refreshes the summaries and child
lists after one normal batch.
- `browser.started` on the open task refreshes its browsers. The same
event on another task does not.
- A browser that starts during a slow empty read appears after that read
settles (`ui/src/lib/task-browsers-refresh.test.ts`). This test fails
when the refresh joins the older read.
- Two views and repeated events during one read cause one follow-up
read. This test fails without the shared queue.
- A list cached while the task was closed is read again when a view
returns.
- A connection that opens during an older empty browser read causes one
more read, so a browser that started while the socket was closed
appears. This test fails without the follow-up.
- Task detail, comments, task runs, browsers, attention and another
company's keys stay on the fast lane.
  - An unrecognized active result keeps the fallback interval.

This is a local request-count proof. It does not include a timed browser
journey on a deployed instance.

## Risks

- Company-wide lists refresh at most once every 5 seconds from live
events, so they can be up to 5 seconds late. After 5 quiet seconds, an
event refreshes them in about 300 ms. Own mutations invalidate their
queries directly, so they do not wait.
- An active task run refreshes from events. Fields without an event,
such as output silence, can be up to 15 seconds late while the
connection is open. Reconnect still reconciles missed events.
- A browser that appears without activity is not shown until the next
activity or reconnect. Every browser lifecycle step logs activity on the
task, so this case is not expected.
- No server, schema or API change.

DottaandClaude 84007892e9 refactor: move AGENTS.md section detail to docs and rules, add a bug-fixing section (#20585)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - `AGENTS.md` is the instruction file that each human and AI
contributor reads before a change
> - Pull request #20557 shortened the file, but several sections still
held detail that applies to only some changes
> - The scoped-rules section told agents to read each matching rule in
full, and most changes match five rules
> - The core engineering rules mixed three product invariants with
process conventions
> - This pull request moves that detail to the docs and to scoped rules,
and adds a section on how to fix a bug
> - The benefit is a 211-line file that states what applies to every
change and points to the rest

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20557

**Issue type**

Outdated or unclear contributor documentation.

**Where is the issue?**

`AGENTS.md` at the repository root, and `rules/`.

**What's wrong?**

- The scoped-rules section made agents read the full body of each
matching rule before a change. The rule bodies total about 47 KB.
- Sections 4, 6, 8, 9 and 10 repeated detail that belongs in
`doc/DEVELOPING.md`, `doc/DATABASE.md`, a route rule, `DESIGN.md` and
`CONTRIBUTING.md`.
- Section 4 had a database reset command for `data/pglite`. That
directory does not exist.
- Section 5 had seven rules. Four of them were process conventions or
path-specific detail.
- The file did not say how to fix a bug.

**Suggested fix**

Make the rule headers the index. Move section detail to the document or
rule that owns it. Keep only the three invariants in section 5. Add a
bug-fixing section.

## What Changed

- The scoped-rules section now tells agents to list the rule headers
with one `grep` command. Agents read a rule body only for a design
decision in its area, when the description is not sufficient, or when a
reviewer cites it.
- `rules/README.md` says that each `description` must state the required
behavior in one sentence.
- `rules/pull-request-review.mdc` has a description that states its
requirements.
- Section 4 (dev setup) and section 11 (pull requests) now point to
`doc/DEVELOPING.md` and `CONTRIBUTING.md`.
- The schema change workflow moved from section 6 to `doc/DATABASE.md`.
- The API and auth expectations moved from section 8 to the new
`rules/api-route-expectations.mdc`.
- Section 9 links to `DESIGN.md` for design rules. `AGENTS.md` no longer
tells contributors to run `pnpm check:token-gates`.
- Added section 10, "Fixing a Bug": reproduce the error, write a failing
test, write the fix, see the test pass, and verify the fix.
- Section 5 now has three rules: company scope, contract
synchronization, and the control-plane invariants.
- The company-scope exceptions moved to the new
`rules/company-scope-exceptions.mdc`.
- Removed the strategic-docs rule. The plan-doc convention moved to the
repo map. The artifact rule moved to section 7.
- Removed rule 7. Five code comments that cited `AGENTS.md §5.7` now
cite `rules/data-paths.mdc`.
- Regenerated the SDK public source pin, because one of those comments
is in `packages/shared/src/crash-points.ts`.
- Added both new rules to `.greptile/files.json`.
- The API route rule applies only to routes that read or write company
data. Its status code list is a list of common codes.
- The company-scope rule lists the sidebar company order as an
instance-wide exception.
- The `honeycomb-tracing` skill now points to `rules/data-paths.mdc` for
the Telemetry workflow.

## Verification

- Open `AGENTS.md` and confirm that each link resolves. A local script
checked this.
- Run `grep -E '^(description|globs|alwaysApply):' rules/*.mdc` and
confirm that each rule prints a description.
- Run `node tests/runner-e2e/source-sdk-public-inputs.mjs <HEAD>
--check`. It passes locally.
- `packages/shared/src/crash-points.test.ts` passed locally before the
rebase onto `master`.
- Five source files changed in comments only. No other test suite ran
locally.

## Risks

- An agent that reads only rule descriptions can miss a detail in a rule
body. Reviewers still apply the full rules.
- Pull requests and the definition of done are now sections 11 and 12.
Sections 1 to 9 keep their numbers.
- Dated plan documents under `doc/plans/` still cite `AGENTS.md §5.7`.
They are historical records.
- Pull request #20565 also changes `AGENTS.md`. The second one to merge
needs a conflict fix in section 1 and section 2.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 765ccd8691 perf(chat): index chat-admission checks by company and payload issue id (#20562)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Chat connections save each external message as a `chat_actions` row
before the server admits it as an agent wakeup.
> - The server checks if an issue holds chat input that it did not
admit. Recovery skips such an issue. Manual task start refuses it.
> - On a hosted instance, the recovery read with this check used the
most total database time: 488 calls at about 1 s each. The manual-start
check ran 155 times at about 0.9 s.
> - The check matches `chat_actions.payload->>'issueId'` against the
issue. No index covers this value, so each call reads the full
`chat_actions` table and its payloads.
> - This pull request adds one concurrent partial index for the check.
The check SQL does not change.
> - The benefit is less background database load, so request reads wait
less. The results stay the same.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The chat-admission check `unadmittedChatWakeupCondition`. Recovery uses
it in the per-issue candidate read. Manual task start uses it in the
held-input check.

**Subsystem affected**
Server chat admission, issue recovery, manual task start, and the
database schema.

**Current behavior**
The check finds `inbound_wakeup` actions by `company_id` and
`payload->>'issueId'`. Two nested checks find `failed_run_retry` actions
and later `inbound_wakeup` actions on the same company and payload issue
ID. `chat_actions` has no index on `company_id` or on the payload issue
ID. Each call reads the full table and reads each payload. On a hosted
instance, the two statements used about 630 s of database time in one
statistics window.

**Proposed behavior**
The check and its nested checks read a small set of rows from one index.
The admission result does not change.

**Reason and benefit**
The hosted database had many concurrent active queries. Request reads
waited behind background work such as this check.

**Breaking changes**
None. The migration adds an index only.

## What Changed

- Migration `0458_chat_admission_issue_index` builds
`chat_actions_company_issue_kind_idx` with `CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY IF
NOT EXISTS`. It runs through the existing top-level statement path,
which repairs an invalid index on retry.
  - Keys: `(company_id, payload->>'issueId', kind, status)`.
  - Partial: `kind IN ('inbound_wakeup', 'failed_run_retry')`.
- One index serves the outer input lookup, the failed-run retry lookup,
and the later-input lookup. All three match on the same company and
payload issue ID.
- The Drizzle schema declares the index. The snapshot chain moves to
`0458` and keeps five snapshots.
- New regression test
`server/src/__tests__/chat-admission-condition.test.ts` pins the
admission semantics on real PostgreSQL:
- Pending and failed input without a receipt holds the issue. Received,
processed and cancelled input does not. Other action kinds do not.
- A skipped receipt, a receipt for another agent, or a receipt in
another company does not admit input. A failed or cancelled run still
counts as admission.
- The issue ID is compared as company-scoped text. Uppercase, array,
null, other-issue and other-company values do not match.
- Only an admitted retry in the same conversation and issue that lists
the action releases skipped input.
- Only later admitted input in the same conversation, issue and session
generation releases a failed input. Pending input stays held.
  - The check reads `chat_actions` only through the new index.
- `scripts/benchmark-chat-admission-index.ts` measures both caller
statements with and without the index and fails if the rows differ.
- `scripts/benchmark-chat-admission-index-migration.ts` times the
migration through the normal migration runner.
- `doc/DATABASE.md` documents the index and the benchmark commands.

## Verification

Local SQL measurements on synthetic data. PostgreSQL 18.1 (embedded),
default settings. The fixture has 100,995 `chat_actions` rows (662 MB):
60,000 GitHub actions with 6 KiB incompressible payloads, 2,000 issues
with 20 admitted inbound messages each (3 KiB payloads), and 1,000
failed-run retries. Each case has 2 warmups and 9 samples of `EXPLAIN
ANALYZE` execution time. Runs alternate: no index, index, no index,
index.

| Caller statement | Case | No index, median (range) | Index, median
(range) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Manual-start held check | quiet issue | 3,093 ms (2,150–3,519) / 3,586
ms (2,375–11,235) | 0.036 ms (0.034–0.052) / 0.040 ms (0.033–0.047) |
| Manual-start held check | admitted input | 3,555 ms (3,310–8,080) /
5,205 ms (3,353–9,525) | 0.049 ms / 0.052 ms |
| Manual-start held check | unadmitted input | 3,002 ms (2,864–3,221) /
4,179 ms (3,200–6,585) | 0.051 ms / 0.044 ms |
| Manual-start held check | failed, later admitted | 3,586 ms / 3,722 ms
| 0.066 ms / 0.054 ms |
| Manual-start held check | admitted retry | 2,733 ms / 4,953 ms | 0.049
ms / 0.053 ms |
| Recovery candidate read | quiet issue | 43 ms (41–48) / 96 ms (44–219)
| 0.047 ms / 0.055 ms |
| Recovery candidate read | admitted input | 203 ms (48–575) / 174 ms
(44–314) | 0.055 ms / 0.058 ms |
| Recovery candidate read | unadmitted input | 66 ms / 144 ms | 0.053 ms
/ 0.054 ms |

- Buffers per call fall from about 40,000 shared hits to 5–23.
- Locally, the recovery read without the index uses a hashed full scan
of `chat_actions`. The held check uses a full scan per call. On the
hosted instance both took about 1 s per call. The local fixture is
smaller than the hosted table.
- Correctness: complete positional rows match across all four runs for
all six cases (quiet, admitted, unadmitted, failed then admitted,
retried, other-company decoy). The script asserts the expected held
result for each case.
- Migration timing: 600,001 `chat_actions` rows (1,759 MB), 300,000 of
them in the index scope. First run through `applyPendingMigrations`: 4.2
s. Rerun after the history row is removed: 0.5 s. Concurrent build
alone: 3.4 s. Index size: 30 MB.

Commands:

```sh
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsx ../scripts/benchmark-chat-admission-index.ts
OTHER_PAYLOAD_KIB=2 pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsx ../scripts/benchmark-chat-admission-index-migration.ts
cd server && npx vitest run src/__tests__/chat-admission-condition.test.ts   # 6 passed
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db check:migrations                               # passed
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck                                  # passed
```

## Risks

- The migration builds one index concurrently. It does not block writes.
On the 1.76 GB local fixture it took about 4 s. A larger hosted table
takes longer, but the build does not lock out reads or writes.
- Writes to `inbound_wakeup` and `failed_run_retry` actions maintain one
more index. Status updates on these rows were already not HOT updates,
because other partial indexes use `status`.
- The planner has no expression statistics for a partial index. The new
test pins that the check uses the index on an analyzed table with
unrelated rows.
- The check SQL does not change, so admission behavior does not change.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 faaae003a9 perf(chat): find the conversation head from open delivery work (#20564)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - External chat messages go into a durable delivery queue. Each
conversation drains in provider order.
> - Each drain step reads the head of one conversation. The head query
filters one endpoint's deliveries by state and thread.
> - On a hosted instance, this query ran about 10,000 times at about 300
ms each. The database was busy, and request reads waited behind
background work.
> - PostgreSQL read every processed delivery of the endpoint and its
`normalized_event` value to find a few open rows.
> - This pull request finds the endpoint's open delivery IDs first and
fetches only those rows.
> - The benefit is less background database load. The selected head and
the delivery order do not change.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The inbound conversation head query
(`earliestOpenConversationDelivery`).

**Subsystem affected**
Server chat inbound delivery queue.

**Current behavior**
The query has `endpoint_id = $1 and (state in ('received', 'retry',
'processing') or (state = 'processed' and <pending inbound wake>))`, a
thread filter on `normalized_event`, and a sort on `normalized_event`
keys. No index matches the `or`. PostgreSQL scans all deliveries of the
endpoint. For each row it reads `normalized_event` to test the thread.
It also reads all of `chat_actions` to build the pending-wake set. A
busy endpoint keeps all of its processed history, so the cost grows with
that history.

**Proposed behavior**
The query selects `id in (<open delivery IDs of the endpoint>)`. That
set is a `union all` of two small reads:
- received, retry and processing deliveries of the endpoint, through the
existing `chat_deliveries_work_idx`;
- processed deliveries that an issued or processing `inbound_wakeup`
action of the same endpoint (and company) still owns.

PostgreSQL fetches only those rows by primary key, then applies the same
reaction, thread and order rules.

**Reason and benefit**
The cost no longer grows with processed history. On a local fixture with
60,000 processed deliveries, the head query reads 1,309 shared buffers
instead of 262,630.

**Breaking changes**
None. There is no schema change, migration, API change, timer or poll
change.

Related work: #17971 changed the pending-wake predicate of the same
queue. #20400 added the index for the other chat delivery statement in
the same report (`select state ...
normalized_event->'githubAutomatic'->'context'->>'deliveryId'`). That
statement already uses the #20400 index on master, so this pull request
does not change it.

## What Changed

- `delivery-ledger.ts`: add `openConversationDeliveryIds(endpointId)`.
It returns the endpoint's open delivery IDs. It selects the same set as
the old state predicate for that endpoint.
- `conversation-queue.ts`: the conversation head query uses `id in
(openConversationDeliveryIds(endpointId))` in place of the state `or`.
The thread filter, reaction exclusion, order, limit and lifecycle
dependency read do not change.
- `inbound-queue-discovery.test.ts`: add a real PostgreSQL test. It
compares the new set with the old predicate on three endpoints. It
covers each state, issued and processing wakes, duplicate wakes, wakes
of non-processed deliveries, processed, other-kind and null-delivery
actions, an action on a different endpoint of the same company, and
reactions. It also checks that the real captured head query returns the
oracle's first row.
- `benchmark-inbound-queue-discovery.ts`: add
`--endpoint-history=<rows>` (a busy endpoint with 4 KiB payloads) and
`--only=<fixture>`. Add a work budget: the treatment head query must
visit at most 100 delivery rows on the history fixtures.
- `doc/DATABASE.md`: describe the head query and the benchmark command.

## Verification

Local SQL measurements. PostgreSQL 17.10 (Postgres.app, macOS arm64),
disposable database, synthetic data, default settings with 256 MB shared
buffers. The host was under heavy load from other work, so timings are
noisy. Shared buffers and visited rows are stable. Each arm has two
warmups and five alternating samples (median [min..max]). Baseline:
`origin/master` at `8d2bf78323`.

| Fixture | Query | Baseline | Treatment | Shared buffers | Delivery
rows visited | Output |
| --- | --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | --- |
| 60,000 processed, 4 KiB | head | 290.09 ms [220.21..554.19] | 7.34 ms
[5.85..7.68] | 262,630 → 1,309 | 60,002 → 4 | Equal |
| 20,000 processed, 4 KiB | head | 276.02 ms [211.77..322.12] | 34.61 ms
[4.45..194.15] | 67,618 → 486 | 20,002 → 4 | Equal |
| 1,500 processed, 32 KiB | head | 15.88 ms [13.66..21.79] | 2.29 ms
[1.64..7.75] | 10,602 → 80 | 1,502 → 4 | Equal |
| 20 processed | head | 1.49 ms [0.92..3.66] | 1.85 ms [1.01..1.97] | 2
→ 45 | 22 → 968 | Equal |

- The deadline and ready selectors do not change. Their buffers are
identical in both arms; their timings move only with host noise.
- The small control is neutral. On a near-empty table, PostgreSQL picks
a sequential scan for the open-state branch. This costs about 45
buffers.
- The 60,000-row run passes `--require-work-budget`. The baseline
exceeds the budget (`baselineExceedsWorkBudget: true`). This is the
red/green proof. There is no timing threshold in CI.
- On the treatment, the remaining head cost is the scan of
`chat_actions` for pending wakes of the endpoint. The baseline also
reads all of `chat_actions` for its hashed subplan.
- `pnpm exec vitest run src/__tests__/inbound-queue-discovery.test.ts`
(server): 6 tests pass, including the new equivalence test.
- `chat-channels.integration.test.ts` filtered with `-t
"reorder|orders|FIFO|conversation drain|lease renewal|receipt
order|edit|lifecycle"`: 148 assembled chat tests pass. They cover Slack,
Teams, Telegram, Discord and GitHub provider-order drains, head-of-line
barriers, lease loss, lifecycle edits and wake retries.
- `pnpm exec tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json` (server) passes.

Reproduce:

```sh
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsx ../scripts/benchmark-inbound-queue-discovery.ts --baseline-ref=8d2bf78323 --endpoint-history=60000 --only=endpoint-history --require-work-budget
```

Set `PAPERCLIP_TEST_POSTGRES_ADMIN_URL` to use an existing disposable
PostgreSQL server. The benchmark uses synthetic data only.

## Risks

- Query plans depend on data and settings. These local numbers do not
prove hosted request latency. A follow-up statistics window after deploy
must confirm the gain.
- The pending-wake branch still scans the endpoint's `chat_actions`. A
partial index on pending `inbound_wakeup` actions would remove that
scan. I did not add it, to avoid a migration.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 56aa160a4e perf(native): index heartbeat runs by company and native session (#20560)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native runs share a native session. Retention, recovery, resume and
archive code reads all runs of one session from `heartbeat_runs`.
> - On a hosted instance, the native retention lookup ran about 67,000
times in one day at about 22 ms, and about 10,000 times at about 11 ms
in a later window.
> - No index has `native_session_id`. Each read walks the agent's or the
company's run history and filters the rows.
> - This pull request adds one concurrent partial index on `(company_id,
native_session_id)`. The SQL does not change.
> - The benefit is less background database load. Request reads wait
less, and the results stay the same.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The native session-run lookups. The largest caller is
`sessionRetentionBlocker` in native harness backup and checkpoint
retention. It selects `id, status, finished_at`, an incomplete-recovery
flag and the issue ID for one company, agent and native session.

**Subsystem affected**
Server native runtime (retention, recovery, resume and archive reads)
and the database schema.

**Current behavior**
`heartbeat_runs` has no index on `native_session_id`. PostgreSQL reads
the whole run history of the company (or of the agent through
`heartbeat_runs_company_agent_started_idx`) and filters by session. The
cost grows with the run history, not with the size of the session.

**Proposed behavior**
The index finds the few runs of one session directly. Every caller
already filters by `company_id` and `native_session_id`, so one index
serves the agent-scoped and the issue-scoped reads.

**Reason and benefit**
This statement family used about 1,500 s of database time in one day on
a busy hosted database. The local proof below shows 12.3 ms to 0.04 ms
per call.

## What Changed

- `packages/db`: add `heartbeat_runs_company_native_session_idx` on
`(company_id, native_session_id) WHERE native_session_id IS NOT NULL`.
Migration `0457_native_session_run_index` builds it with `CREATE INDEX
CONCURRENTLY IF NOT EXISTS`. The migration is registered as a
top-level-statement migration, the same way as 0454–0456.
- Add a regression test in `native-harness-backup-expiration.test.ts`.
It captures the real retention lookup and proves that its plan can use
the index. It also pins the company and session scope: a live run of
another company with the same session ID does not protect a checkpoint.
A live run of the same agent in another session does not protect it. A
live run of the same session does protect it.
- Add `scripts/benchmark-native-session-run-index.ts`. It runs the real
checkpoint retention pass (dry run), captures the exact SQL, and replays
it with and without the index. It also times the migration through the
normal migration runner.
- `doc/DATABASE.md`: describe the index and the benchmark command.

## Verification

Local SQL measurements, synthetic data. PostgreSQL 18.1 (embedded test
server). Fixture: 100,000 runs (50,000 of the measured agent, 50,000 of
a second agent), 4 runs per session, 4 KiB incompressible
`runner_profile_json` per run, 638 MB table. Order: no index, index, no
index, index. 15 `EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, BUFFERS)` samples after 3 warmups.

| Pass | Plan | Median execution | Min / max | Shared buffers |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| No index (1) | Seq Scan | 12.30 ms | 10.33 / 35.27 ms | 3,607 |
| Index (2) | Index Scan using
`heartbeat_runs_company_native_session_idx` | 0.036 ms | 0.021 / 0.115
ms | 38 |
| No index (3) | Seq Scan | 12.38 ms | 10.24 / 26.14 ms | 3,607 |
| Index (4) | Index Scan using
`heartbeat_runs_company_native_session_idx` | 0.043 ms | 0.022 / 0.098
ms | 38 |

- Correctness: the service SQL is the same in every pass. The returned
rows (all columns) and the retention result are equal in every pass. The
script fails on any difference.
- Migration: the first run through the migration runner took 525 ms on
the 638 MB fixture. The rerun took 273 ms and skipped the existing
index. A direct concurrent build took 145–221 ms. Index size: 1.9 MB.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsx
../scripts/benchmark-native-session-run-index.ts`
- `npx vitest run
src/__tests__/native-harness-backup-expiration.test.ts` (server): 108
passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db check:migrations`: passed. Five
snapshots remain.
- `pnpm verify` exits 2 (a new script under `scripts/` is a global CI
input). Required CI supplies the broad coverage.

## Risks

- Low risk. The migration adds one index concurrently and does not lock
writes. The SQL of every caller is unchanged.
- The index adds a small write cost to `heartbeat_runs` inserts and to
updates of `native_session_id`. Rows with a null session are not
indexed.
- Persisted run state: no saved run, session or checkpoint shape
changes. State saved by the previous release carries forward unchanged.
- Hosted latency is not measured yet. The numbers above are local SQL
measurements.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (Anthropic), model ID `claude-opus-5-5`, used through
Claude Code with tool use (shell, file edits, local PostgreSQL).

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 0b20ea6fe9 fix(accounting): keep budget admission and usage handoff alive under run-row updates (#20484)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Before a run starts provider work, Paperclip reserves its budget and
binds a usage recorder. Both write the run's `heartbeat_runs` row.
> - Run-log appends, output progress and lifecycle events update that
same row while the run prepares and streams.
> - #20385 fixed this race for the standalone usage-receipt write only.
Budget admission and the recorder handoff still take a repeatable-read
snapshot before they lock the run row.
> - Each concurrent row update makes that snapshot stale. Four retries
run out with SQLSTATE `40001`, and the run ends `adapter_failed` with
raw SQL as its error.
> - This pull request applies the #20385 pattern (READ COMMITTED under
the existing locks) to those writers and to the final dispatch gate. It
also gives exhausted retries a bounded cause.
> - The benefit is that busy runs start and account normally, and a
remaining failure names its cause.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20385. Builds on #20483 (bounded failure cause and
`withoutSqlStatementText`).

**What happened?**

The restart-chaos L1 workload with `--db-pressure 4` (harness writers
that update each running run row, one row per statement, like a fast
stream) failed on master. In one wave, 0 of 4 tasks passed. Every first
run failed in `reserveRunBudget` before spawn. In an earlier wave, a run
failed in `createRunUsageRecorder`. The stack in both cases is `could
not serialize access due to concurrent update` (`40001`) on the run-row
`FOR UPDATE`. The board `runError` showed the full `select ... from
heartbeat_runs ... for update` statement. The server log line `heartbeat
execution failed` dropped the database cause.

Realism: the harness writers are synthetic, but the product has the same
writers on the same row. `appendHeartbeatRunEvent` increments
`next_event_seq`, output progress updates `last_output_*`, and lifecycle
events land while a run prepares. On a hosted database the window
between snapshot and row lock is wider than locally, so a busy run
reaches the same race without the harness.

**Expected behavior**

Budget admission and the recorder handoff commit while other writers
update the run row. Budget invariants stay intact: one reservation per
run, a reached hard stop still refuses work, and committed holds count
against later admissions. Usage receipts are journaled once. If retries
still run out, the run shows a bounded cause without SQL, and the server
log records the SQLSTATE.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run `server/src/services/run-accounting-contention.test.ts` against the
parent commit. The deterministic cases commit a real
`appendHeartbeatRunEvent` after the writer's transaction checks the
company and before it locks the run. Six of the eight cases fail with
`40001`.

## What Changed

- `reserveRunBudget` runs at READ COMMITTED. All mutable reads follow
the shared admission fences, the agent `FOR SHARE` lock and the run-row
`FOR UPDATE`. Exposure stays one SQL statement (hold-to-ledger atomic).
The `budget_reservations_run_idx` unique index and the run lock still
prevent a second hold.
- The final dispatch gate's accounting phase
(`dispatchResolvedInteractionIfCurrent` through `withIssueThenRunLocks`
in `run-dispatch/adapters/postgres.ts`) runs at READ COMMITTED. Its
ownership phase already read the same staleness facts at READ COMMITTED
under the same issue and run locks. Retry promotion and stale-run
cancellation keep their repeatable-read snapshot. The first L1 proof
wave found this writer exhausting `40001` once the other three were
fixed.
- `createRunUsageRecorder` runs its receipt-source handoff and its
capture-failure fence at READ COMMITTED. Both lock the run row first,
the same as `persistUsageReceipt` after #20385.
- `withOperationAccountingTransaction` raises
`AccountingContentionError` when retries run out. It has a bounded
message, `code` keeps the SQLSTATE (`40001`/`40P01`), `cause` keeps the
database error, and a warning logs both.
- `failRun` shows that bounded message. The code stays `adapter_failed`,
so chat and recovery retry paths still apply. #20483's `failureCause`
records `40001`. All other SQL text handling comes from #20483
(`withoutSqlStatementText`), unchanged here.
- `doc/DATABASE.md` documents the isolation choice and the failure
contract.

### Inventory of REPEATABLE READ / SERIALIZABLE transactions that write
run-scoped rows

| Writer | Status | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `persistUsageReceipt` (`usage-receipts.ts`) | Fixed in #20385 | READ
COMMITTED under the run lock. |
| `reserveRunBudget` (`budget-reservations.ts`) | Fixed here | Seen in
waves (`budget-reservations.ts:90`). |
| `createRunUsageRecorder` handoff (`usage-receipts.ts`) | Fixed here |
Seen in waves (`usage-receipts.ts:572`). |
| `createRunUsageRecorder` capture-failure fence (`persistFailure`) |
Fixed here | Same shape: run lock first, runs mid-stream. |
| Native finalizer `claimCoordinator` (`native-run-finalizer.ts`) | Safe
| A default READ COMMITTED transaction with `FOR UPDATE` on the
coordinator row. It cannot raise `40001`. The wave errors there were
`native_finalization_missing`, a symptom of the failed reservation (no
coordinator existed yet). |
| Final dispatch gate, accounting phase
(`dispatchResolvedInteractionIfCurrent`) | Fixed here | Seen in proof
wave `w-20261110T075857-s20386` (runs `140ddb10`, `c028c6c4`,
`fea0ee5a`). Its ownership phase already used READ COMMITTED under the
same locks with the same staleness reads. |
| Retry promotion and stale-run cancellation (`promoteOrCancelDueRetry`,
`cancelStaleQueuedRun`, same lock helper) | Follow-up | Kept at
repeatable read: `loadGateFacts` combines wakes, comments, dependencies,
tree holds and repair state in one decision. They act on queued or
scheduled runs, not streaming ones. Not seen failing in waves. If
retries run out, they now fail with the bounded cause. |
| Run settlement `accountRunCost` (`run-cost-accounting.ts`) | Follow-up
| Seen with `40001` in a wave log. Leaves the run pending;
`reconcileRunCosts` retries it durably. Multi-aggregate (coordinator,
receipts, images, closure). |
| Tool cost events (`paperclip-runner-tool-authority.ts`, `costs.ts`) |
Safe | Insert `cost_events` only; the run row is referenced, not locked
or updated. |
| Budget enforcement and evaluation (`budgets.ts`), billing
reconciliation, accounting-integrity repair | Safe | Lock policy,
invoice or company rows, not a streaming run row. Run reads are plain
selects. |
| Browser use, decisions, prompt-injection, fast responses | Safe |
Write their own invocation/reservation rows, not `heartbeat_runs`. |
| Read-only RR snapshots (`withAccountingReadSnapshot`, idle-sleep, tool
gateway, customer success, `routes/decisions.ts`) | Safe | Read only, or
no run-scoped writes. |

## Verification

- Red on the parent commit, green on this branch:
`server/src/services/run-accounting-contention.test.ts` (real embedded
PostgreSQL).
- `reserveRunBudget > reserves once when run events commit between its
company check and its run lock` (red: `40001`)
- `reserveRunBudget > reserves every run while back-to-back writers
update the run row` (red: `40001`)
- `reserveRunBudget > counts every committed hold, so successive
admissions never exceed the budget` (red)
- `reserveRunBudget > still refuses a run once the hard stop is reached`
(red: `40001` instead of `409`)
- `createRunUsageRecorder > binds its receipt source when run events
commit between its company check and its run lock` (red: `40001`; green
asserts the spooled receipt is journaled exactly once)
- `createRunUsageRecorder > binds while back-to-back writers update the
run row` (red: `40001`)
- `reserveRunBudget > never creates a second reservation for one run
when two dispatches race` (invariant; passes before and after)
- `final dispatch gate > admits and hands off a reserved run when run
events commit between its company check and its run lock` (red:
`AccountingContentionError` after 4 × `40001`)
- `createRunUsageRecorder > persists its capture-failure fence once when
run events commit between its company check and its run lock`
- `final dispatch gate > admits while back-to-back writers update the
run row` (red: `40001`)
- `exhausted retries > fail with a bounded, SQL-free cause that keeps
the SQLSTATE` (new contract)
- `run-completion.test.ts > saves a bounded cause and keeps the
retryable generic code when accounting retries are exhausted` (saved
code, message and `failureCause`, and log fields, through `failRun`)
- Related suites pass: `usage-receipts-read`,
`admission-independent-of-cleanup`, `budget-live-attempts`,
`idle-accounting-work`, `budget-enforcement-scoping`,
`closed-native-receipt-accounting`, `budget-evaluation-work`,
`run-dispatch/adapters/postgres`, `heartbeat/run-completion` (all 126
run-completion cases pass; its `afterAll` embedded-PostgreSQL teardown
exceeded 30 s on this loaded host, the known local flake).
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` passes.
- Latency of `reserveRunBudget` on the normal path (no contention,
embedded PostgreSQL, 350 measured reservations per run, 3 runs each):
before p50 14.7 / 15.0 / 18.6 ms, p95 25.6 / 31.4 / 39.4 ms; after p50
14.2 / 14.0 / 16.6 ms, p95 29.7 / 24.0 / 29.3 ms. No added latency: the
statements are the same, only the isolation level changes. Under
contention it removes the retry backoff.
- Live restart-chaos L1 waves (`--seed 20386 --db-pressure 4`, codex and
claude, K1):
- Master before this change: `w-20261110T050818-s20386`, 0/4. Every
first run failed in `reserveRunBudget` with `40001`.
- Head `90530789b0` (first three writers fixed):
`w-20261110T075857-s20386`, 2/4. Both codex tasks passed. Both claude
failures (t02, t03) trace to the dispatch gate, now fixed. Those runs
already showed the bounded cause, with no SQL on the board. The failure
was logged with `sqlState` 40001. No `reserveRunBudget` or recorder
`40001` remained.
- Head `d5ed21926f` (dispatch gate fixed): `w-20261110T090531-s20386`.
All 4 tasks reached done with no retry and R1–R6 passed. There were no
failed runs and zero `40001` in the server log, under 310k pressure
updates. Each task still failed the T-oracle `company_spend_settled`
with `pending_runs=1`. That pending run is t02's continuation run
`601ae80a`, cancelled before provider work as `issue_terminal_status`,
whose accounting debt was not yet settled when graded about 15 s later.
It is not a contention failure. Caveat: I edited the worktree during
this wave (`worktree_changed_mid_wave`), so a clean wave on the final
head follows.
- Final head `9f1c480717`, clean worktree: `w-20261110T094417-s20386`.
All 4 tasks reached done with no retry, and R1–R6 passed for each. There
were no failed runs and zero serialization failures in the server log,
under about 523k pressure updates. Each task still fails only the
T-oracle `company_spend_settled` (`pending_runs=1`). It is the same
cancelled pre-provider continuation run (`issue_terminal_status`), whose
accounting debt was still unsettled at grading. That is a separate
settlement-timing follow-up, not database contention. Master was 0/4 on
the same seed.

## Risks

- READ COMMITTED gives each statement its own snapshot. Admission reads
policy, scope and exposure in separate statements. The shared
company/project fences and the agent share lock exclude concurrent pause
and policy edits, and exposure stays one statement, so each read is at
least as fresh as the old snapshot.
- Concurrent admissions of different runs stay best-effort, as
`doc/SPEC-implementation.md` already states ("concurrent starts can
exceed the same observed balance"). This change does not widen that
window: each statement snapshot is newer than the old transaction
snapshot. It does not add a company mutex.
- A run that fails after exhausted retries now records
`accounting_contention` instead of `adapter_failed`. Retry rules that
key on `adapter_failed` spawn-like messages did not match this failure
before, so no automatic retry changes.
- No schema, migration or persisted-format change.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (Anthropic), model ID `claude-opus-5-5`, used through
Claude Code with shell, file-edit and code-execution tools.

DottaandPaperclip 0991d9bda1 fix(workspaces): protect migration sources and add guarded recovery service (#20443)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents and their task workspaces.
> - Online migration saves files before it publishes remote workspace
authority.
> - A saved migration journal can survive the importing process.
> - Git cache expiration did not count that journal as a consumer.
> - Expiration could remove a source and change its fingerprint while
its import was incomplete.
> - This PR protects unfinished imports and exposes a guarded internal
service transition for an already affected cohort.
> - New imports can preserve the current sources while all old recovery
data stays retained.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Git cache expiration could archive and remove a workspace after an
import process ended but before its saved cohort finished. The saved
source fingerprint then differed from the current archived workspace.
Exact cohort resume correctly refused that changed source. Reopening the
workspace cannot recreate the old metadata or fingerprint.

**Expected behavior**

An unfinished migration remains a durable consumer after process loss.
If an older server already expired some sources, one canonical
transition can fail the exact unpublished cohort without losing its
snapshots, objects, source history, or recovery obligations. New
attempts use the current verified sources.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a cohort import of eight Git worktrees with local changes.
2. Interrupt it after four snapshot uploads.
3. Let an older server expire two idle source worktrees.
4. Resume the saved cohort. It refuses the changed archived sources.

Related: #20429 preserves exact cohort identity when independent
companion imports change only the scope proof. #20424 preserves prepared
recovery state for archived sources. This PR handles completed source
expiration, not a scope-only change. Public searches found related
expiration work and no matching compensation owner.

## What Changed

- Count saved migration markers and unfinished migration journals as Git
expiration consumers. Keep failed migration retention holds as consumers
too.
- Expose `supersedeExpiredRemoteWorkspaceMigrationCohort` as an internal
service API for a privileged operator with a real database handle and
reviewed company/cohort inputs. It is called directly by the
PostgreSQL/Git test and reviewed one-time administrative qualification.
It adds no CLI mode or HTTP route. The existing CLI still refuses a
damaged cohort; this PR does not claim automatic CLI recovery.
- Require an exact unpublished cohort of up to eight members. It
requires completed expiration and an unexpired restore recipe for each
missing member. The other members must retain their saved source
fingerprints.
- Recheck current source and recovery state under source, lifecycle,
finalizer, and row locks. One transaction fails all old journals, writes
audit records, and removes only their exact matched active markers.
- Keep old cohort proofs, operations, snapshots, and object references.
Genuine failure receipts use the existing failed-save retention hold.
This transition does not report migration success.
- Reuse the existing bounded source-lock queue when `sourceLockWaitMs`
is set. Keep fast refusal by default. Cancellation targets only this
waiter, and current checks still run after admission.
- Record predecessor IDs on new attempts and reserve a snapshot
generation above the existing ledger maximum. New success does not
retire the old hold.
- Document the owning transition and retention rules.

## Verification

- The two new journal-consumer cases failed under the old expiration
predicate and passed under the new predicate.
- The full new recovery case passed in 21.12 seconds with real
PostgreSQL locks, Git repositories, encrypted local object storage, and
archive restores. It covers four retained uploads, two real expirations,
unchanged old resume refusal, authority change refusal, transaction
rollback, a held native finalizer, idempotence, eight new imports,
dirty/untracked file restores, and a retention pass 30 days later with
no object deletion.
- Server TypeScript and module-boundary checks passed.
- On `7cec8c915acfad2d08874eaf26abaa852f560219`, the queued-admission
regression failed before forwarding the option (24.07 seconds), then
passed (22.25 seconds). It verifies a real held project lock,
cancellation that preserves the holder and all journals, release into
full compensation, retention, and eight restored fresh imports. Current
server TypeScript and module/diff checks passed. The only production
follow-up changes are the optional queue input and its existing-owner
call.
- The earlier `737a0df3a71b10fe48d7bbfe7ffd8ae296b4852c` CI run had one
Runner support failure: the unchanged credential-free Python/Pi
calibration exceeded its outer 25-second subprocess deadline. That job
passed 6,926 other tests and skipped four. The timeout is retained as a
nonpass. The changed logical head requires fresh CI and review; no test
deadline was raised.
- The affected cohort, Git expiration, and eligibility suites passed all
148 cases in 228.41 seconds on
`aa589f3f447e36d0277c32f8b44cbe5e84a673be`. Merged current master
`a9d0946e64`; the only conflict retained both independent added test
blocks. The complete merged cohort suite passed all 30 cases in 70.00
seconds on `737a0df3a71b10fe48d7bbfe7ffd8ae296b4852c`, including
upstream larger-cohort controls. Final-head server TypeScript,
incremental preflight, module-boundary, and diff checks passed.
Unchanged expiration/eligibility evidence remains valid. Fresh
`809ab704e619812d8f1bf38cf5de9c65893861cc` CI and review are pending.
- On `809ab704e619812d8f1bf38cf5de9c65893861cc`, the complete recovery
fixture passed in 21.38 seconds after adding one valid archived recipe
with no restore point. It refuses with
`migration_supersession_expiration_unverified` and keeps all workspaces,
journals, and snapshots unchanged. The same case then verifies queue
cancellation/release, full compensation, retained history, fresh
imports, and restored bytes. Server TypeScript passed. This follow-up
changes only the test and service-scope documentation; product bytes
remain identical to qualified
`7cec8c915acfad2d08874eaf26abaa852f560219`.
- Earlier fixture attempts did not pass. They exposed the selection of a
held source and an incorrect expected refusal string. The fixture now
selects eligible sources and asserts the canonical authority refusal.
Production guards were not relaxed.
- Live qualification of the exact owning product bytes completed in
230.419 seconds. All eight old operations became failed with auditable
supersession lineage. All eight old snapshot rows remained byte-for-byte
identical, and their object references remain retained. The existing
source-lock queue waited 1.151 seconds for a normal finalizer handoff.
The three complete source/recovery passes took about 218 seconds
including their transaction, which explains why the earlier 180-second
total budget was insufficient for that measured workload. No source
proof or publication guard was skipped. Compensation made no provider or
object-storage calls.
- Earlier live qualifications remain nonpasses: the 180-second attempt
did not finish; its instrumented successor completed source checks and
refused a busy source lock before mutation. The successful bounded-queue
attempt retained those failure records. Fresh archived/online imports
are a separate subsequent step and are not claimed complete here.
- The local checks do not claim browser acceptance, app deployment,
fleet enrollment, or a completed zero-downtime cutover.

## Risks

- This owner mutates migration bookkeeping. It preserves all-or-nothing
row comparisons and current source/recovery locks. A changed journal,
authority, writer, finalizer, expired recipe, or partial transaction
refuses the transition.
- Historical snapshots and objects remain pinned after new success. This
intentionally retains storage. Release requires a separate reviewed
action.
- An older importer cannot use the successor generation contract. Use
the containing canonical owner for recovery. Normal app delivery must
also carry the expiration guard; a private maintenance graph does not
patch a running server's cleanup worker.
- The migration owner crosses 1,000 lines. The bounded compensation
transition remains beside its private source inspection, fingerprint,
fence, reservation, and publication contracts. Moving it now would
require exporting or duplicating those safety owners. No unrelated
refactor or new framework is included.

Dotta f73ff4ace9 fix(native): reprove stale filesystem preservation receipts (#20438)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent work and preserves saved native sessions
across releases.
> - Filesystem independence receipts bind database facts to preserved
controller and skill evidence.
> - A workspace migration can add run metadata without changing those
preserved bytes.
> - That change makes the saved facts digest stale. Full native
preservation then refuses the existing receipt, even after fresh source
checks.
> - WEB preservation already supports a full current proof and guarded
receipt refresh.
> - This pull request applies that pattern to full native receipts,
reuses the authenticated archive, and keeps the existing ownership and
destruction checks.
> - The benefit is a current receipt without a new archive or provider
replay.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #20322.

**What happened?**

Adding the canonical `legacyWorkspaceRecoveryMigration` marker to a
settled native run makes its saved receipt stale. The full native
preservation owner checks current evidence but then refuses the old
facts digest.

**Expected behavior**

The owner can refresh the proof metadata after it proves all current
facts and preserved bindings again. Changed evidence or authority must
leave the prior receipt intact.

**Steps to reproduce**

Use the added PostgreSQL regression. It saves a valid receipt for a
succeeded source with 453 checkpoint parts, adds the producer-shaped
migration marker, and calls preservation again. The unchanged owner
fails with `native_harness_filesystem_independence_unverified`.

## What Changed

- Reuse the prior controller archive through the existing authenticated
readback path.
- Require the old receipt to match every current immutable binding
before a facts refresh. Reconstruct its exact digest from unchanged
bindings and the prior proof fields.
- Recheck current database facts, assets, controller and local files
under the existing finalizer, selection, task and run fences.
- Publish with an exact prior-receipt comparison. Keep a valid
concurrent winner and refuse changed receipts or new owners.
- Audit the prior receipt digest and four proof fields. Add focused
source, integrity, race and DB-only validation tests, and update the
database guide.

## Verification

- Local Node24 canonical preflight and plugin SDK prerequisites passed.
The Runner build came from the content cache. After a normal merge of
fresh master, preflight confirmed unchanged build inputs.
- Genuine RED on `3040448da5`: the saved receipt is valid before the
migration marker and stale afterward. Reproof fails at the old receipt
guard (one failed, 102 intentionally not selected). Both retained RED
attempts reached that same guard.
- GREEN on final local merge `00f4b5d678083106afc88fb2f7e0588961b46d6d`:
19 PostgreSQL controls passed, 91 intentionally not selected (17.75s).
The wrapper completed cleanup.
- The positive preserves the same archive, controller bytes, assets,
local proof and all 453 checkpoint parts. It performs authenticated
object reads and zero archive PUTs. Runs, results, finalizers and leases
remain unchanged except for the receipt. The audit reconstructs the
exact prior receipt.
- DB-only validation passes with the original home, state directory and
volume absent, while storage reads throw.
- Refusal and race controls cover changed asset bindings, raw controller
bytes, missing destruction evidence, unknown receipt fields, a valid
concurrent winner, changed receipts and a late active owner. Existing
WEB refresh, physical finalization-lock and saved-binding controls also
pass.
- Server TypeScript passed, including the adjacent integration test.
Fresh Greptile is 5/5 on exact head
`00f4b5d678083106afc88fb2f7e0588961b46d6d`, with no review threads
([review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/20438#issuecomment-6756548830)).
Final-head CI is terminal: 56 success, 4 skipped and 1 neutral. The
aggregate `ci / verify` passed
([run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42737704110)).
- The first Runner-support job had one unrelated process-inspection
nonpass: `server-stop.test.ts` expected a successful wrapper close, but
its bounded process inspector returned no table. Its cause remains
unknown. The unchanged test, process helpers, workflow and dependency
inputs match the passed master control. One authorized same-head job
retry passed all 328 files / 6,927 tests (4 skipped); the exact
previously failed case passed in 665ms
([retry](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42737704110/job/129576420893)).
No timeout, assertion or source change was made for the retry.

```sh
node scripts/agent-preflight.mjs --skip-rust-debug
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-sdk ensure-build-deps
node --import ./cli/node_modules/tsx/dist/loader.mjs packages/db/src/test-postgres-command.ts pnpm exec vitest run server/src/services/native-runtime/native-harness-filesystem-independence.integration.test.ts -t "reproves stale native facts|retains stale native proof|guards stale native reproof|invalidates a published receipt after changed|actual physical-finalization lock|refreshes stale WEB facts|refuses a WEB facts refresh|retains or refuses the existing receipt when an earlier capture finishes late"
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsc --noEmit
```

## Risks

- Old receipt schemas and immutable bindings remain required. Full fresh
proof carries compatible saved receipts forward; unknown fields or
changed evidence refuse refresh and preserve the old receipt.
- Full native preservation still requires canonical destroyed-provider
receipts. The change retains the existing source capability,
cancellation, finalizer and publication checks.
- Only proof metadata changes. No provider operation, archive
replacement, hosted recovery or deployment was performed for this PR.
Live qualification remains with the operator after delivery.

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

DottaandPaperclip 3040448da5 fix(workspaces): refresh saved cohort source proofs on resume (#20429)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip preserves agent work when a control-plane server is
replaced.
> - Online workspace imports save exact cohort, operation and snapshot
identities for restart.
> - A cohort proof also includes the complete current companion source
scope.
> - An independent companion import removes that companion from the
local scope.
> - The saved cohort then fails resume even when every saved member is
unchanged.
> - This pull request rechecks the current scope under fresh locks and
refreshes its proof for all members in one transaction.
> - The benefit is restartable online migration while independent work
progresses.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #19873, #20394, #20418. Related PR search found the original
cohort owner, recovery-proof refresh and separate child-verification
reuse. This fix addresses cohort scope freshness.

**What happened?**

An interrupted cohort rejects resume with
`workspace_cohort_membership_changed` after a nonmember companion is
migrated. The saved source proof includes companion workspace and task
IDs. The exact saved members and their fingerprints can remain
unchanged.

**Expected behavior**

The same saved cohort must resume after fresh admission. It must keep
all member, operation and snapshot IDs. Changed members, active owners,
changed journals and lost source locks must still refuse publication.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a two-member cohort and interrupt the second upload after the
first archive is saved.
2. Import an archived nonmember companion through the existing canonical
migration owner.
3. Resume the same two-member cohort. The original implementation
refuses before it acquires the source fence.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on master `3a5572c9e5`.

**Deployment mode**

Online administrative workspace migration with PostgreSQL and
authenticated snapshot storage.

## What Changed

- Admit a changed aggregate scope proof only when every saved member has
a running journal and its current fingerprint matches both saved
fingerprints.
- Keep partial reservations on the original strict aggregate-proof path.
Keep exact cohort and operation membership checks.
- Run the existing source, lifecycle, recovery and finalizer admission
before refresh. Lock member rows, inspect the current scope again, and
compare every journal in one transaction.
- Change only `cohortMigration.sourceProof`. Preserve all other
metadata, identities, archive and recovery records. Abort the complete
refresh on cancellation, a changed journal or a lost fence.
- Extend the existing real PostgreSQL fixture with partial upload,
canonical companion migration, refusal controls, transaction rollback,
cold archive restore and replay.
- Document the proof lifetime and resume boundary.

## Verification

- Canonical Node24 worktree preflight passed. Plugin SDK build
prerequisites passed.
- Genuine RED on unchanged product: the real partial-upload and
companion-import sequence fails with
`workspace_cohort_membership_changed` (1 failed; 22 intentionally not
selected; 10.44 seconds).
- The identical positive passes after the fix (1 passed; 22
intentionally not selected; 9.87 seconds).
- The complete focused cohort file passes: 23 tests in 33.33 seconds.
Existing controls include changed member fingerprints, foreign and
completed journals, active operations, peer cancellation, actual
source-fence connection loss and outer-commit failure.
- The new sequence also checks a held source lock, a held finalizer
lock, cancellation before refresh, and an injected second-member update
failure. The failed update rolls back every proof change. Both saved
archives restore tracked and untracked work, and replay uses the same
cohort.
- After one final read-only preflight assertion, that complete new
sequence passes again in 14.52 seconds with 22 existing cases
intentionally not selected. Server TypeScript passes on the final files.
Module boundaries and `git diff --check` pass.
- Commands: `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/services/remote-workspace-cohort-migration.test.ts`; final
case selection: `-t 'same uploaded cohort'`; `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/server exec tsc --noEmit`; `node
scripts/check-module-boundaries.mjs`.
- Initial local setup attempts remain nonpasses: sandbox PostgreSQL
could not bind localhost, then the new archived companion fixture used a
noncanonical repository folder. The corrected fixture uses the existing
managed repository path. Neither setup failure is counted as the product
RED.
- Fresh [Greptile
review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/20429#issuecomment-6755862789)
is 5/5 on exact head `6c640c4667b136e5416c1375f491729cf4bb9b49`, with
zero inline threads. Required final-head CI is running. Hosted
acceptance is not claimed by this PR.

## Risks

- The old aggregate proof contains only a hash. Refresh therefore
requires durable fingerprints for every saved member and repeats all
current admission guards. A partially reserved cohort cannot use this
path.
- A stale proof must never hide a changed member or a new writer.
Current source inspection, P/I/L/F locks, locked member rows, complete
journal compare-and-swap and the existing capture and publication checks
remain authoritative.
- The all-member update must stay atomic. A database fault or
cancellation rolls it back. The original cohort, operation and snapshot
IDs remain fixed.
- The change adds one bounded transaction only when a fully saved
cohort's scope proof changes. It adds no recurring work, schema,
provider, archive format, concurrency or deployment changes.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with repository tools and code execution.
The runtime does not expose a more specific deployment identifier or
context-window size.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 347d85fef3 perf(chat): index GitHub review lookups and share review-wait reads (#20400)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - GitHub chat endpoints let agents review pull requests. The server
reads review state when it lists issues and when it updates GitHub
checks.
> - On a hosted instance, two GitHub review queries used the most total
database time. One query ran about 660,000 times at about 33 ms. The
other query ran about 10,000 times at about 1 s.
> - The first query finds a source comment's chat link. No index covers
`chat_message_links.comment_id`, so each call reads the full table.
Issue lists also read the same review waits two times per request.
> - The second query joins deliveries, links and runs on a JSON key. The
planner walks the agent's run history in creation order and reads each
run's context.
> - This pull request adds four concurrent indexes, splits the run
lookup into two small reads, and shares review-wait reads in one
issue-list request.
> - The benefit is less background database load, so request reads wait
less. The results stay the same.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
GitHub review state reads. These are the inherited review-wait lookup by
source comment, and the review-check lookup of the run that a delivery's
comment woke.

**Subsystem affected**
Server chat channels (GitHub review waits and checks), issue list
attention maps, and the database schema.

**Current behavior**
- `readInheritedGitHubReviewWait` filters `chat_message_links` by
`company_id`, `comment_id` and `direction`. No index has `comment_id`,
so PostgreSQL reads the full table on each call. The run-origin check
does the same lookup first.
- An issue list calls the external review-wait read from the review
attention map and again from the blocked-inbox attention map. The two
maps read the same in-review issues.
- `githubReviewCheckState` joins deliveries, links and runs with
`context_snapshot->>'wakeCommentId' = comment_id::text`, sorts by
`created_at desc` and takes one row. The planner reads the agent's runs
in creation order and reads each run context. If no run matches yet, it
reads all of them. The delivery filter on `normalized_event` and the
link join on `delivery_id` also have no index.

**Proposed behavior**
The same rows come back from small index reads. Each issue's review wait
is read one time per issue-list request.

**Reason and benefit**
These two statement families used about 33,000 s of database time in one
cumulative statistics window. The database had about 50 concurrent
active queries, and request reads waited behind this background work.

**Breaking changes**
None. The migration adds indexes only.

## What Changed

- Migration `0456_chat_review_lookup_indexes` builds four indexes with
`CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY IF NOT EXISTS`. It runs through the existing
top-level statement path, which repairs an invalid index on retry:
- `chat_message_links_company_comment_idx` on `(company_id, comment_id)`
where `comment_id is not null`.
- `chat_message_links_delivery_idx` on `(delivery_id)` where
`delivery_id is not null`.
- `chat_deliveries_github_automatic_delivery_idx` on `(endpoint_id,
normalized_event->'githubAutomatic'->'context'->>'deliveryId')` where
that value is not null.
- `heartbeat_runs_company_wake_comment_idx` on `(company_id,
context_snapshot->>'wakeCommentId')`. This index is not partial. The
planner does not use expression statistics from a partial index. Without
these statistics, it estimates many matches and keeps the creation-order
walk.
- `githubReviewCheckState` reads the delivery's comment IDs first. If
there is a comment, it reads the newest same-agent run with one of these
`wakeCommentId` values. If there is no comment, it skips the run read.
The comparison stays text equality on `comment_id::text`.
- `createExternalReviewWaitReader` shares one read per issue between the
review and blocked-inbox attention maps of one issue-list request. The
reader exists only for that request.
- `doc/DATABASE.md` describes the indexes and the new read order.
- `scripts/benchmark-review-lookup-indexes.ts` compares the pre-fix and
new code with and without the indexes.
`scripts/benchmark-review-lookup-index-migration.ts` times the migration
on a large synthetic database.

## Verification

Local SQL measurements on a synthetic fixture. They are not production
timings. Environment: embedded PostgreSQL 18.1, baseline revision
`02bfe71a6b`. Fixture: 50,000 links, 5,000 deliveries with about 2 KiB
events, and 4,000 runs with about 12 KiB incompressible contexts. The
wake run is in the middle of the run history. Each value is the median
server execution time from `EXPLAIN ANALYZE` (2 warmups, 9 samples). The
order was: no indexes, indexes, then no indexes again.

| Caller and statement | Before (no indexes, two passes) | After |
Shared buffers before → after |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Inherited review wait, link by source comment (same SQL) | 2.72 / 2.36
ms | 0.076 ms | 929 → 12 |
| Review check, wake run found | 31.9 / 21.9 ms | 0.29 ms (two
statements) | 25,776 → 62 |
| Review check, no wake run yet | 71.0 / 47.5 ms | 0.06 ms (two
statements) | 34,861 → 12 |

- Indexes alone do not fix the review check. The old SQL with the new
indexes took 8.6 ms (run found) and 29.7 ms (no run), because it still
walked the run history. The new SQL without the new indexes was neutral
(23.5 and 35.1 ms).
- Service wall times on this shared machine were noisy, so the table
reports server execution time.
- Correctness: the benchmark fails unless the inherited statement
returns the same positional rows in each index state. The check service
result and the final wake-run rows of the new code must also match the
pre-fix module for both cases.
- Migration timing, normal migration runner, synthetic data: 200,000
runs (1.8 GB with 8 KiB incompressible contexts), 500,000 links and
100,000 deliveries. First run 4.2 s; rerun 0.38 s. Separate builds:
links by comment 1.5 s, run wake comment 1.1 s, deliveries 0.7 s, links
by delivery 0.3 s. All indexes were valid. The run index was 8.3 MB.
- New tests:
- `server/src/__tests__/github-review-check-state.test.ts` checks that
the newest same-agent run is selected. It also checks that other agents,
other companies, uppercase IDs, non-string values, list-only
`wakeCommentIds`, comment-less links and unknown deliveries do not
match. It checks that the generated statements can use the new indexes.
- `server/src/services/native-runtime/external-review-wait.test.ts`
checks that the reader reads each issue one time, keeps concurrent
callers correct, and rejects all waiting callers when a read fails.
- Red/green: with the pre-fix `review-check-state.ts`, the behavior test
passes and the index test fails. With this change, both pass.
- Focused runs pass: `issue-blocker-attention`,
`heartbeat-issue-liveness-escalation`, review-wait, review-check-state,
external-review-wait, review-repair (106 tests), and
`external-chat-wait.integration` (285 tests). `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/server typecheck` and `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db
check:migrations` pass.

Commands:

```sh
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsx ../scripts/benchmark-review-lookup-indexes.ts --baseline-ref=02bfe71a6b
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsx ../scripts/benchmark-review-lookup-index-migration.ts
```

## Risks

- The migration builds four indexes concurrently. It does not block
writes. On a large database, the run index reads every run context one
time. The local run took 1.1 s for 1.8 GB from a warm cache. Cold
storage on smaller compute can be slower.
- The run index adds one entry for each run insert and for each run
update that is not a heap-only update. Many runs have no
`wakeCommentId`, so these entries hold a null key.
- The review check now sends two statements instead of one when a
delivery has a comment. Each statement reads only a few index entries.
- When two matching runs have the same `created_at`, either can be
selected. The previous query had the same tie behavior.
- This change does not change the number of in-review issues that one
issue list reads. The blocked-inbox map still reads all in-review issues
of the company. A smaller scope needs a separate change to the liveness
classifier.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 0116e45958 perf(db): index pending budget Stops instead of scanning all run results (#20391)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Budget enforcement stops agent runs when a budget hard limit is
reached. The stop intent is saved in each run's `result_json` until run
control delivers it.
> - The budget worker, run control, and the idle-sleep check find these
pending stops with a predicate on `result_json`. No index supports that
predicate.
> - Each check therefore reads every heartbeat run and its large result
JSON from TOAST. On a hosted database, this statement family was among
the most expensive: about 8,000 calls at about 1 s each, about 9,800 s
in total.
> - Pending stops are rare. The predicate is constant, so a partial
index can contain only those rows.
> - This pull request adds that partial index. The SQL that the server
sends does not change.
> - The benefit is that each check reads a few index entries instead of
the full table. The database has more capacity for request work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The check for committed budget Stops that are not delivered yet. The
budget worker runs it each time it looks for work
(`hasPendingBudgetEnforcement`), and again for each delivery pass
(`listPendingBudgetCancellationScopes`). Run control and the idle-sleep
check use the same predicate.

Budget enforcement in the server
(`server/src/services/heartbeat/budget-cancellation.ts`,
`server/src/services/budgets.ts`,
`server/src/services/heartbeat/run-control.ts`,
`server/src/services/idle-sleep-safety.ts`) and the `heartbeat_runs`
schema in `packages/db`.

**Current behavior**
The query groups all rows of `heartbeat_runs` and reads
`result_json->'startupCancellation'->'budgetEnforcement'` for each row.
A limit of 1 does not help, because the group and sort occur before the
limit. Cost grows with the run history, not with the number of pending
stops.

**Proposed behavior**
A partial index, `heartbeat_runs_pending_budget_cancellation_idx`,
contains only runs with a pending budget Stop. The planner uses it for
all four callers. The results are the same.

**Reason and benefit**
Local SQL measurements show a 300x to 1,000x decrease in time and buffer
reads (see Verification).

**Breaking changes**
None.

## What Changed

- Added the partial index
`heartbeat_runs_pending_budget_cancellation_idx` on `heartbeat_runs
(company_id)`. Its predicate is identical to
`pendingBudgetRunCancellationPredicate`.
- Added migration `0455_pending_budget_cancellation_index.sql`. It uses
`CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY IF NOT EXISTS`, and it is in the list of
migrations that run outside a transaction, as `0436` is.
- Moved the scoped run-control read and the idle-sleep check into
exported builders in `budget-cancellation.ts`, next to the scope list
query. The SQL does not change. The callers and the test now share the
same statements.
- Added a real PostgreSQL regression test. It checks that delivered,
malformed, and missing intents are not pending. It also EXPLAINs the
statements that the callers send (scope list with limit 1 and 100,
scoped read, `EXISTS` check) and requires the new index in each plan. If
a person changes a query shape, the server predicate, or the index
predicate, the test fails.
- Added `scripts/benchmark-budget-cancellation-scan.ts`. It captures the
SQL that the real service sends, then compares the plans, timings, and
complete rows with and without the index.
- Updated `doc/DATABASE.md`.

## Verification

Red/green regression test:

- Before the migration, the new test failed: the plan was `Seq Scan`
with the predicate as a filter.
- After the migration: `npx vitest run
src/services/heartbeat/budget-cancellation.test.ts` passes (17 tests).
- Also passed: `src/__tests__/budgets-service.test.ts`,
`src/__tests__/idle-sleep-diagnostics-postgres.test.ts`,
`src/services/budget-resume-continuation.test.ts`.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db check:migrations`, and typecheck of
`@paperclipai/db` and `@paperclipai/server` pass.

Performance and result equality (local SQL measurements only):

```sh
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsx ../scripts/benchmark-budget-cancellation-scan.ts --runs=20000 --payload-kib=16 [--reverse]
```

- Fixture: embedded PostgreSQL 18.1. 20,241 runs in 2 companies, with
incompressible result JSON of about 16 KiB (table 379 MB). 40 pending
stops in 6 scopes, 200 delivered or malformed decoys, and 1
cross-company intent.
- The SQL is the same in both treatments. The script toggles only the
new index. 2 warmups and 7 samples per query. Rows are compared outside
the timed part. Ordered queries must match in order. The scoped
run-control read has no `ORDER BY`, so it is compared as a multiset.

| Query (caller) | Baseline median | With index median | Shared buffers
|
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `listPendingBudgetCancellationScopes(db, 1)` (worker `hasPending`) |
688 ms | 2.1 ms | 243,500 → 1,158 |
| `listPendingBudgetCancellationScopes(db)` (delivery) | 799 ms | 1.4 ms
| 243,500 → 1,158 |
| Scoped pending runs (run control) | 357 ms | 1.1 ms | 121,835 → 322 |
| `EXISTS` pending (idle-sleep check) | 440 ms | 0.37 ms | 240,560 → 2 |

- Reverse order (index first) gave the same result: 524 ms → 1.6 ms, 464
ms → 1.4 ms, 306 ms → 1.0 ms, 306 ms → 0.42 ms.
- Plans change from `Seq Scan` (or a broad bitmap scan) to `Index Scan`
or `Index Only Scan` on the new index.
- All result rows are equal in every run.

Migration duration:

- 20,241 runs (379 MB): index build 2.0 s to 3.9 s.
- 200,241 runs with 8 KiB result JSON (2.1 GB): index build 5.6 s. With
this table size, the four queries change from 1,148 / 879 / 514 / 4,392
ms to 1.1 / 1.2 / 0.85 / 8.3 ms.
- The build is concurrent, so it does not block run writes.

## Risks

- Migration: the build reads every run's result JSON one time. It is
concurrent and resumable (`IF NOT EXISTS`). The executor repairs an
invalid concurrent index on retry.
- Write cost: run writes evaluate the index predicate. The index
contains very few rows, so the extra cost is small.
- Predicate drift: if a later change edits only one of the two
predicates, the planner cannot use the index. The new regression test
detects this.
- The hosted timings are not measured yet. The local numbers come from a
synthetic fixture.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, used through Claude
Code with tool use (shell, file edits, local PostgreSQL).

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 ab80fea62f perf(recovery): probe run bindings per comment in the lost-wake check (#20412)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The ownership reconciler finds user comments whose wake a restart
lost, and it saves a wake for them (plan invariant 4)
> - Its lost-wake check matched a task's runs with one OR across the
legacy context ID and the native issue column
> - With that OR, PostgreSQL can join runs only by company. It then
tests each recent comment against every run of its company and reads
each run's context
> - On a hosted staging database, this statement used about 23 s per
call on average (384 calls, about 8,900 s in total). One call ran for 35
s. Other requests waited behind it
> - This pull request reads the check in three stages and probes the two
run bindings separately with existing indexes
> - The benefit is the same result with bounded, index-driven work for
each recent comment

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The reconciler's user-comment lost-wake check was one of the most
expensive statements on a hosted staging database. Query statistics
showed 384 calls with a mean of about 23 s. One active call was seen at
35 s. The database compute was busy, and short authentication reads
waited behind long statements.

The statement matched runs with `(context_snapshot->>'issueId' = issue
OR native_issue_id = issue)` in three subqueries. The OR gives
PostgreSQL no join key except `company_id`. A local plan on synthetic
data showed the cost: a hash join of 273 comments against all 38,002
runs, which took 1.0 s of a 1.3 s statement. The work grows with recent
comments multiplied by the company's run count, and each test reads a
run context.

**Expected behavior**

Each recent comment uses a small number of indexed probes. The check
returns the same comments in the same order, with the same limit and
grace logic.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Seed a company with a deep run history and a few hundred recent user
comments.
2. Let some recent comments have no wake (for example, after a restart
lost the wake of a steered comment).
3. Run the check. PostgreSQL can pick a hash join on `company_id` with
the OR as a join filter. With nested loops off, the old statement takes
seconds. The local benchmark below shows this.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Baseline: `02bfe71a6b`.

**Deployment mode**

Server with PostgreSQL. Local proof uses disposable PostgreSQL 18.1.
Production and staging use hosted PostgreSQL.

Related: the earlier change that split native and legacy bindings for
other ownership reads (see the "Execution recovery query performance"
section in `doc/DATABASE.md`). A search found no open pull request for
this check.

## What Changed

- `checkUserCommentsWithoutWake` reads in three materialized stages:
1. Recent user comments on assigned, non-conversation tasks that no wake
request carries. This stage keeps the same issue, status and
agent-closed rules.
2. Of those, comments with no live or later run and with at least one
earlier run.
3. Of those, comments that no live run acknowledged in an item event
(the steer check). Only this stage reads event payloads.
- Each run lookup is two probes: one on the legacy context ID and one on
the native issue column. Both use existing indexes. `exists (A or B)`
becomes `exists (A) or exists (B)`, which is logically the same.
- Each probe ends with `offset 0`. This keeps it a per-row index lookup.
Without it, PostgreSQL can build a hashed subplan over all runs, or a
hash join over all item events of the company. The repository already
uses this fence in `execution-blocker.ts`.
- The final `order by c.created_at limit N`, the projection, the grace
window and the reported reason do not change.
- Add `scripts/benchmark-comment-wake-check.ts`. It loads the check from
an explicit baseline commit and from the working tree, and it compares
the complete service result and the complete positional SQL rows before
it records time.
- Add a regression test for each run binding on its own: native only,
legacy only, live run, later run, steered run, an acknowledgement before
the comment, a log-only mention, a run that ended before the comment,
and a run in another company.
- Document the check and the benchmark command in `doc/DATABASE.md`.
- No schema change, index, migration, or new startup work.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/ownership-reconciliation-report.test.ts
--maxWorkers=1`: 34 passed. This includes the existing lost-wake,
restart, steered and agent-closed tests and the new binding test.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`: passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsx
../scripts/benchmark-comment-wake-check.ts --baseline-ref=02bfe71a6b
--samples=7`

Benchmark setup: PostgreSQL 18.1 (embedded, local), `shared_buffers` 128
MB, `work_mem` 4 MB. All data is synthetic, with md5-hex filler so
contexts and payloads do not compress well. There are two companies per
fixture. Two warmup rounds, then 7 timed samples for each arm, in
alternating order. Each sample runs the real check function. Before any
timing, each fixture asserts that the complete check result and every
positional SQL row are equal for baseline and treatment, and that the
fixture reports at least one owed comment. Every timed sample also
asserts the same result.

| Fixture | Runs / recent comments / owed | Baseline median | Treatment
median | Speedup | Hash-join plan, baseline → treatment |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| small | 2,541 / 50 / 6 | 8.5 ms | 2.6 ms | 3.2x | 19 ms → 3 ms |
| representative | 75,502 / 750 / 75 | 26.4 ms | 23.3 ms | 1.1x | 2,262
ms → 17 ms |
| lost steer wakes | 38,002 / 750 / 75 | 454.7 ms | 66.9 ms | 6.8x |
2,717 ms → 68 ms |
| deep history | 150,750 / 1,125 / 114 | 26.9 ms | 18.8 ms | 1.4x |
4,006 ms → 34 ms |
| busy hour | 128,750 / 5,625 / 200 (limit) | 79.2 ms | 47.4 ms | 1.7x |
20,047 ms → 75 ms |
| long steered runs (stress) | 19,100 / 600 / 60 | 626.4 ms | 457.4 ms |
1.4x | 5,871 ms → 502 ms |

- The table above used baseline `02bfe71a6b`, the branch base at that
time. After the rebase, a repeat run with baseline `8004ad069e` (the new
merge base, with the helper guard fixed to run from the repository root)
gave the same picture on a busier machine: small 15.4 → 9.1 ms, lost
steer wakes 1,733 → 139 ms, busy hour 103 → 65 ms, all with equal
results.
- The "lost steer wakes" fixture shows the slow plan with default
planner settings. PostgreSQL hashed all runs by company and tested 273
comments against 38,002 runs.
- The last column runs each statement once with `enable_nestloop = off`.
This makes the company-only hash join that the old statement allows
visible, and it shows that the new statement has no such plan. The
result is checked as equal in this mode too. Staging's 23 s mean matches
this growth: recent comments multiplied by the company's run count.
- Shared buffers fell in every fixture except "small" with default
settings (for example, busy hour 176,416 → 89,803).
- Neutral path: in the "long steered runs" stress fixture, every steered
comment lost its wake. These comments correctly reach the steer check.
That check must read the payload of each item event after the comment in
the run that was live, so it is the remaining cost. In normal operation
a comment sent to a live run has a deferred wake that carries it, so
stage one removes it.

## Risks

- Low risk. The predicate is the same conjunction of conditions. Only
the evaluation order and the probe shape change, and the benchmark
asserts complete-row equality on six fixtures and in both planner modes.
- Rows with the same `created_at` have no defined order, as before. The
benchmark uses distinct times so positional comparison is meaningful.
- `offset 0` stops PostgreSQL from turning these probes into joins. If a
task someday has a very large number of runs, each probe still uses the
company and issue indexes.
- Upgrade safety: this change reads saved run, wake and event state
only. It changes no persisted shape, run identity, or saved session, so
state saved by the previous release carries forward unchanged. A cutover
test is not applicable.
- Not verified on the hosted database. The local proof uses synthetic
data, and I did not capture a hosted plan. Confirm with a fresh query
statistics window after deployment.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, with tool use (shell,
file editing, local PostgreSQL) in Claude Code.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 c985541a57 perf(db): index retry-exhaustion receipts for the attention scan (#20386)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The attention feed shows runs that failed after automatic retries
stopped
> - To find these runs, the feed reads every `heartbeat_run_events` row
of the company and filters the rows by a message prefix
> - Run output makes this table very large, so each feed request does a
large scan
> - On a hosted test database, this one statement used the most total
database time: 923 calls at a mean of 5 s (4,709 s in total)
> - Request authentication waits behind this background work, so all
users feel the load
> - This pull request adds a small partial index that holds only the
retry-exhaustion receipts
> - The benefit is that the same query reads a few index entries instead
of all company events

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The attention feed query that finds retry-exhausted runs
(`listAttentionExhaustedRuns`).

**Subsystem affected**
Server attention feed and the `heartbeat_run_events` table schema.

**Current behavior**
The query reads all company rows in `heartbeat_run_events`, filters them
by `event_type = 'lifecycle'` and the `Bounded retry exhausted` message
prefix, and then joins the few matches to failed or timed-out runs. The
cost grows with all run output. It does not grow with the number of
exhausted runs.

**Proposed behavior**
A partial index holds only the matching receipts. The query plan reads
the index and joins a few rows. The query text and the result do not
change.

**Reason and benefit**
The scan was the most expensive statement by total time on a loaded
hosted database. A local reproduction shows a 54x faster query and about
116x fewer buffer reads.

**Breaking changes**
None. The API, the feed rows, and their order do not change.

## What Changed

- Add the partial index `heartbeat_run_events_retry_exhausted_idx` on
`(company_id, run_id, id DESC)`. The index covers only rows where
`event_type = 'lifecycle'` and `message like 'Bounded retry
exhausted%'`.
- Add migration `0454`. It uses `CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY IF NOT
EXISTS`. The migration runner runs it as a top-level statement, the same
as migrations 0432, 0436 and 0450.
- Add a regression test. It pins the row order (newest run first, then
the newest receipt on a tie) and the latest receipt per run. It also
checks that the query plan can use the new index. If the query predicate
changes so that the index no longer applies, the test fails.
- Add `scripts/benchmark-exhausted-run-attention.ts`. It measures the
same query with and without the index, and the time to build the index.
- Document the index in `doc/DATABASE.md`.

## Verification

Cause and thesis. The scan cost comes from reading all company events,
not from the few exhausted runs. Thesis: an index that holds only the
receipts makes the query cost depend on the number of receipts, and
keeps the result identical. The benchmark below confirms the thesis.

Rejected alternative without a migration. I first tried a LATERAL lookup
that starts from the failed and timed-out runs. On the same fixture it
was about 2x slower (median 379 ms against 194 ms). It reads the full
event history of each failed run with random I/O, and that costs more
than one sequential scan.

Local SQL benchmark (the SQL that the service generates; same SQL with
and without the index):

```sh
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsx ../scripts/benchmark-exhausted-run-attention.ts --runs=30000 --events-per-run=100 --samples=9
```

Fixture (synthetic): one company with 30,000 runs (3,819 failed or timed
out) and 3.0 M events, plus a decoy company with 0.5 M events. The table
is 1.4 GB. About 5% of events are `lifecycle` events. Events of 20
concurrent runs are interleaved. 1 in 23 runs has a receipt, some runs
have two receipts, and output decoys contain the prefix. Two agents are
terminated. Embedded PostgreSQL 18.1 on an Apple laptop. The hosted
database is Neon with different compute, so the absolute times are local
SQL measurements only.

The script runs two cycles (without index, then with index; then with
index, then without index) to expose cache bias. Each measurement has 2
warmups and 9 samples.

| Query | Without index | With index | Samples and spread | Output check
|
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `listAttentionExhaustedRuns` | median 157 ms (96–1,271 ms) | median
3.3 ms (2.2–5.7 ms) | 18 each | 133 rows, positional rows equal in all 4
measurements |
| Buffers (EXPLAIN ANALYZE) | 127,743 blocks | 5,580 blocks | | plan
uses the new index (asserted) |

Speedup: 48x (median), on head `ae6037b2a0` (the same SQL and index as
the final head). The machine was under heavy load from other work, so
the spread without the index is wide. An earlier run on the first head
gave 248 ms against 4.6 ms (54x). Index build (`CREATE INDEX
CONCURRENTLY` from the migration file): 1.7 s and 2.5 s for the 1.4 GB
table. Index size: 152 KiB.

Review fix: the query now writes `event_type = 'lifecycle'` as a SQL
literal, not a bound parameter. With prepared statements, PostgreSQL can
reuse a generic plan. A generic plan cannot prove that a bound parameter
matches the index predicate, so it would not use the index.

Tests:

- `cd server && npx vitest run src/__tests__/attention-service.test.ts`:
44 passed. The new test checks a fresh plan and a forced generic plan
(`plan_cache_mode = force_generic_plan` with `PREPARE`). It failed with
the bound `event_type` parameter and with a changed message prefix
(confirmed red), and it passes with the fix. Locally, the file's
`afterAll` database cleanup hook timed out on a heavily loaded machine
(load average about 28). The timeout also occurs when the new test is
excluded.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db check:migrations`: passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db typecheck` and `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/server typecheck`: passed.
- `pnpm verify`: see the CI results for this head.

## Risks

- Migration time. A concurrent index build reads the full
`heartbeat_run_events` table and does not block writes. Locally, the
build took 1.2–2.5 s for 1.4 GB. The time grows linearly with the table
size. I did not time the build on a production-size clone. On a database
with a 5 s full company scan, I estimate the build at tens of seconds,
which is in the 1–2 minute budget. This estimate is not proven.
- If the build stops, PostgreSQL can leave an invalid index. The
migration runner repairs invalid concurrent indexes when it runs again,
and `IF NOT EXISTS` makes a rerun safe.
- The index predicate must stay textually equal to the query predicate.
If someone changes the message prefix or binds a predicate value as a
parameter, the planner cannot use the index. The new test catches both
cases, for fresh and generic plans.
- Each new receipt writes one more small index entry. Receipts are rare,
so the write cost is very small.
- The hosted improvement is not verified until deployment. After
deployment, compare a new query-statistics window for this statement.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, used through Claude
Code with tool use (shell, file edits, local PostgreSQL). Standard
context window and reasoning mode.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 c57cd1bdb9 perf(server): read plugin lifecycle inbox heads in one pass (#20405)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Plugins get agent, project and agent runtime changes from the
`resource_lifecycle_events` journal. Each plugin acknowledges events one
resource at a time.
> - The inbox page query checked each unacknowledged event against all
older events of the same resource. Each check walked the acknowledged
history of that resource.
> - Agent runtime streams get a new event for each configuration change,
so one resource can have thousands of acknowledged events. The cost grew
as pending events times acknowledged history.
> - On a hosted instance, three copies of this read ran for 601 seconds
each, and one earlier copy ran for 19 minutes. The delivery worker runs
it again after each acknowledgment.
> - This pull request selects the head of each resource in one pass and
keeps the same result.
> - The benefit is that the page read is linear in the company journal
size. In local tests it is 250x to 660x faster, and the result rows are
equal.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
The plugin lifecycle inbox page query (`select "id", "company_id",
"resource_type", "resource_id", "action", "created_at" from
"resource_lifecycle_events" where ...`) ran for 601 seconds on a hosted
database. Three copies were active at the same time.

**Expected behavior**
A lifecycle page read must stay fast when a resource has a long
acknowledged history and a pending backlog.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Give a company 40 agents with 1,500 `agent_runtime` events each.
2. Acknowledge the first 1,200 events of each agent for one plugin.
3. Call `pluginLifecycleInbox(db, pluginId).list(companyId, 100,
undefined, ["agent", "project", "agent_runtime"])`.
4. The read takes about 10 seconds for 60,000 events of that company. At
200,000 events it takes about 6 minutes.

**Paperclip version or commit**
`02bfe71a6b` (master).

**Deployment mode**
Hosted (PostgreSQL). Local repro uses embedded PostgreSQL 18.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/plugin-lifecycle-inbox.ts`: `list` now selects
one head per resource with `DISTINCT ON (resource_type, resource_id)`.
The head is the unacknowledged creation, else the oldest unacknowledged
event. Then the query applies `afterId`, id order and the limit. This is
the same set that the old `firstForResource` predicate admits.
`acknowledge` keeps the old predicate for its single-event check.
- `plugin-lifecycle-inbox.ts`: new `hasPending(companyId, types)`. It
returns whether any unacknowledged event exists. Each resource with an
unacknowledged event has a head, so this gives the same answer as
`list(companyId, 1).length > 0`.
- `server/src/services/plugin-lifecycle-delivery.ts`: the idle-sleep
journal check uses `hasPending`. This keeps its early exit. A one-row
`list` page would read the full journal.
- `server/src/__tests__/resource-lifecycle-events.test.ts`: new database
test for heads across acknowledged history, a creation recorded after
transitions, acknowledged gaps, shared ids across resource types,
per-plugin progress, another company, `afterId` pages, limits,
`hasPending`, and the next head after an acknowledgment. The test also
passes on the old query, so it locks the contract.
- `scripts/benchmark-plugin-lifecycle-inbox.ts`: new benchmark. It loads
the baseline service from git, runs both on the same fixture, alternates
order, asserts equal rows, and prints plans.
- `doc/DATABASE.md`: describes the read cost and the benchmark command.
- No schema change, index or migration.

## Verification

Thesis: the old read cost is (unacknowledged candidates) x (acknowledged
older events per resource), because each candidate walks the
acknowledged prefix of its resource. One pass that keeps the
per-resource head removes that product and returns equal rows.

Baseline plan at 220,080 events: 40,020 candidates each walked about
3,999 older rows, which gave 160,039,980 acknowledgment probes and
562,140,833 buffer hits. The treatment plan reads the journal once with
a hash anti join and sorts the 40,020 unacknowledged rows (3,925 buffer
hits).

Local SQL timings (embedded PostgreSQL 18, Apple Silicon; event counts
include a 20,000-event second company, synthetic data, warm cache, one
warmup, order alternates):

| Fixture (events / acknowledged) | Case | Before median | After median
| Samples (after) | Speedup |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 40,060 / 16,040 | page of 100, all types | 3,263 ms | 13.1 ms | 3
(12.0-14.1) | 250x |
| 80,080 / 48,060 | page of 100, all types | 10,137 ms | 23.9 ms | 5
(22.7-32.6) | 424x |
| 220,080 / 160,060 | page of 100, all types | 355,718 ms | 538 ms | 3
(72-785) | 662x |
| 1,020,080 / 960,060 | page of 100, all types | not run (est. > 30 min)
| 1,682 ms | 7 (1,203-2,384) | - |
| 80,080 / 48,060 | page of 100, agent and project only | 1.5 ms | 1.6
ms | 5 | neutral |
| 80,080 / 48,060 | idle-sleep check | 14.5 ms | 13.8 ms | 5 | neutral |
| 1,020,080 / 960,060 | idle-sleep check | not run | 406 ms | 7 | - |

- Result rows are equal (`assert.deepEqual` on all mapped rows, in
order) for each case where both versions ran.
- The agent runtime revision read in `plugin-agent-runtime-state.ts` and
`agent-file-store.ts` (`select id ... order by id desc limit 1`) uses a
backward index-only scan and reads 5 buffers at 1M events. It is not
changed.

Commands:

```sh
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsx ../scripts/benchmark-plugin-lifecycle-inbox.ts --baseline-ref=02bfe71a6b --agents=40 --per-agent=1500 --acked=1200 --samples=5
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsx ../scripts/benchmark-plugin-lifecycle-inbox.ts --baseline-ref=02bfe71a6b --agents=40 --per-agent=25000 --acked=24000 --samples=7 --treatment-only
cd server && npx vitest run src/__tests__/resource-lifecycle-events.test.ts src/__tests__/plugin-lifecycle-delivery.test.ts src/__tests__/agent-runtime-hooks.test.ts
```

- `resource-lifecycle-events.test.ts`: 28 passed.
`plugin-lifecycle-delivery.test.ts`: 40 passed (includes idle-sleep
"none" and "present"). `agent-runtime-hooks.test.ts`: 22 passed.
- `tsc --noEmit -p server`: pass.

## Risks

- The page read is still linear in the company journal size, because
acknowledgments are per plugin and the journal has no retention yet. At
1M events a page takes about 1.7 s locally. Each acknowledgment wakes
another full pass. A per-plugin cursor or retention can remove this
later.
- The planner can choose a different plan on the hosted database. The
local plans use a hash anti join and one sort. The hosted improvement is
not yet measured.
- `acknowledge` still checks one event against older events of its
resource. That check is linear in that resource's history per call, as
before.
- Low behavior risk: the new test passes on both the old and new
queries.

DottaandPaperclip 199670ba99 fix(accounting): prevent usage receipt stalls during streamed run updates (#20385)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native Runner commits usage receipts before it acknowledges retained
events.
> - Usage receipts and streamed run logs update the same run row.
> - A repeatable-read snapshot can become stale before the receipt
writer locks that row.
> - Continuous log writes can exhaust all accounting retries and stall
the retained event.
> - This pull request uses the existing run lock with READ COMMITTED for
standalone receipt writes.
> - Other accounting operations keep their consistent snapshot. Stall
diagnostics retain safe nested error codes.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #20235.

**What happened?**

A hosted native run stopped on a retained usage event. Its diagnostic
reported `Error at source seq N`. The saved outbox and accounting
records locate the failing delivery boundary. Traces show repeated
accounting transactions while streamed events still updated the run row.
The historical inner exception is unavailable.

A controlled PostgreSQL reproduction proves a matching defect: a run-log
append after company validation makes the receipt writer's
repeatable-read snapshot stale. Repeated appends exhaust all four
retries with SQLSTATE `40001`. This is a demonstrated failure mechanism;
attribution of the historical incident remains an inference.

**Expected behavior**

Commit the receipt under its existing run-row lock despite concurrent
run-log writes. Observe concurrent finalization and preserve
late-receipt debt. Keep duplicate receipts idempotent and reject
conflicting or cross-company receipts.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run `server/src/services/usage-receipts-read.test.ts`. The concurrency
regression uses real PostgreSQL and the production run-log append
function. It commits a log append after company validation and before
the receipt locks the run. Before the repair, the receipt rejects with a
wrapped `40001` after four attempts. After the repair, it commits once.
The finalization variant verifies that a newly settled run receives
late-receipt debt without replacing settled state.

## What Changed

- Allow aggregate-lock-protected accounting writers to select READ
COMMITTED. Keep repeatable read as the default.
- Use READ COMMITTED only for standalone usage receipt writes. Keep the
existing run lock, immutable receipt journal, replay checks and
transactional budget-work publication.
- Add PostgreSQL regressions for concurrent log appends, concurrent
finalization, duplicate delivery and the unchanged default snapshot.
- Read the outer event-commit error and at most three nested causes for
an existing safe error code. Exclude exception messages and SQL.
- Document receipt isolation and bounded stall diagnostics.

## Verification

- Red: the production receipt writer exhausted four retries with
PostgreSQL `40001` under controlled concurrent run-log appends.
- Red: wrapped database and transport stall diagnostics returned `Error`
instead of `40001` and `ECONNRESET`.
- Green: Runner control-plane tests passed all 207 cases. All 68 server
assertions passed across receipt reads, native usage delivery and cost
accounting. Cost-accounting teardown exceeded its 30-second limit twice
on this loaded host, after all 28 assertions passed. The workspace
project retained its configured 30-second hook limit despite the CLI
override. This is a local suite cleanup failure, not a passing suite;
the same revision passed the complete server suites in CI.
- Server layered TypeScript checking passed, including source and test
layers. Runner TypeScript checking passed. Server checks cover
`ccfe3bdeb1ab88537a03fd6af9044f66863939a5`; the unchanged Runner checks
cover its parent.
- Local environment: macOS arm64, Node 26.4.0, disposable embedded
PostgreSQL. Native usage-delivery tests use the real Rust receiver.
- CI at `ccfe3bdeb1ab88537a03fd6af9044f66863939a5`:
[build](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42714760702/job/129493568428),
[typecheck](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42714760702/job/129493568367),
native Runner integration, browser shards and all nine serialized server
groups passed. All 12 general server shards passed in the [full
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42714760702).
Final rollup: 59 successful checks/statuses, three intentionally skipped
checks, no pending or failed checks.
- [Greptile reviewed this revision at 5/5 with no actionable
findings](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/20385#issuecomment-6753163397).
- Hosted evidence came from the task, run, saved sandbox outbox,
accounting receipts and traces. The run started fresh and did not cross
a deployment. No original agent turn was replayed.
- The hosted repair has not been deployed. The original task has not
been resumed. A fixed-revision remote-provider user journey remains
unverified.

## Risks

- READ COMMITTED changes snapshot timing for standalone receipt writes.
The run-row lock protects all mutable receipt/accounting reads and
serializes competing receipts and finalization. Other accounting
operations retain repeatable read.
- Receipt identity, replay conflict checks, company scoping, budget
publication, retry bounds and acknowledgement rules remain intact.
- No persisted format, provider identity or database schema changes.
Existing saved state needs no migration.
- Diagnostics inspect at most four objects and retain only the existing
identifier format, with an 80-character code limit.
- The reproduced race matches the incident boundary and timing, but the
original inner exception was not recorded. Rollout and live acceptance
remain necessary before incident resolution.

ID and context window are not exposed in this session.

Dotta 0eacad0d0c fix: refresh preserved harness receipt facts without copying archives (#20322)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Volume-free deployment must preserve historical controller files
before removing the old disk.
> - A WEB preservation receipt binds an archive and source files to the
selected session and database facts.
> - Later metadata changes can make those facts stale while the
preserved files and archive remain unchanged.
> - The existing owner refuses every stale receipt, so preservation
cannot converge.
> - This pull request refreshes only facts freshness after it verifies
the same source bytes, checkpoints and archive.
> - Existing locks and an old-receipt digest comparison prevent a
concurrent replacement from being overwritten.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19814 for WEB evidence preservation without settling remote
recovery. Refs #19832 for bounded larger inventories. Related harness
receipt PRs were searched; no existing change provides this guarded
refresh.

**What happened?**

A valid WEB preservation receipt becomes stale after later run metadata
changes. Its original-volume owner refuses another preservation attempt
because an invalid receipt already exists. This leaves an eligibility
blocker even when the source and saved archive are unchanged.

**Expected behavior**

The original-volume owner can refresh stale facts only after it proves
every other persisted binding unchanged. It retains the prior receipt
and remote recovery state.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Preserve a settled session's WEB files and controller evidence.
2. Add later run metadata so its database facts digest changes.
3. Preserve the same scope again. The previous implementation refuses at
the existing-receipt check.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The failure was reproduced on master
`12523fb677585fcd6da929f868014514a4e96e87`. This branch includes master
`1b7fe33432016b3b27ccdfbf7b8944da4b40726d`.

**Deployment mode**

Managed Linux server with PostgreSQL and durable object storage.

## What Changed

- Reuse the exact prior archive for existing WEB receipts. Recheck
current source bytes, controller history, checkpoint material and
archive bindings. Read back ciphertext and verify its size and hash.
- Permit only database/local-observation freshness changes. Selected
session, source run, controller, archive, WEB entries, and assets must
still match the prior proof. Local inode and timestamp observations may
change across attempts; preserved bytes, paths and modes must match.
- Recheck current facts and source files under the existing finalizer,
task and run fences. Accept a matching concurrent winner or require the
exact previous receipt digest before replacement.
- Retain the prior database and local facts digests, witness
fingerprint, observation time and receipt digest in the same
company-scoped activity transaction. Require those four fields to
reconstruct the exact prior proof from unchanged current bindings before
replacement. Normal audit redaction stays enabled.
- Preserve current-key checks and archive reads on ordinary idempotent
calls. Keep active-source, changed-evidence and cancellation refusals.
- Document the refresh contract. No schema, saved-run format or public
API change.

## Verification

- Genuine RED: the new real PostgreSQL/encrypted-archive case failed at
the old previous-invalid gate.
- Before the audit review follow-up, the full local owner suite passed
**94/94 integration cases in 50.01 seconds**. It covers same-archive
refresh with no PUT, audit history, current-key failures, unreadable
archives, cancellation, changed files, replaced volume, active sources,
matching concurrent winners and conflicting receipt replacement.
- The cases also cover a source becoming active during an idempotent
readback. Earlier 91- and 93-case runs preceded these final review
guards and are not the final result.
- Server typecheck, module boundaries and diff checks passed on the
final production/test bytes before the clean master merge. Required CI
supplies final-head breadth. Four narrow post-merge
refresh/current-key/idempotent regressions passed in 5.70 seconds on
`82e270f29fff98442c4184b96082f72f18a88721`.
- The fixtures use a real disposable PostgreSQL database and actual
local encrypted archives/storage. Controlled faults affect the stated
storage or concurrency boundary. They do not prove a hosted refresh or
archive plaintext cold restore.
- The existing integration file now exceeds 1,000 lines. Keeping these
cases with its private original-volume, controller, archive and
PostgreSQL fixture avoids duplicating that setup.
- Initial worktree preflight stalled on the global package-manager
wrapper. Preflight completed with the existing pinned toolchain. No
setup failure is counted as a product test pass.
- Review found that activity redaction could change a full prior-receipt
copy. A new regression enabled the real username censor and reproduced
that mismatch. The fix stores only the four changed scalar fields and
their original proof digest; a prepublication canonical reconstruction
guard rejects dropped or unknown fields.
- On the audit follow-up, 16 affected real PostgreSQL cases passed in
11.98 seconds; 80 unchanged cases were intentionally skipped. They
include real redaction with a username-containing WEB path,
reconstruction across two refreshes, unknown prior fields, CAS, active
sources, current-key failures, unavailable archives and cancellation.
Final server typecheck and boundaries passed. This was an intermediate
revision; the final-head results appear below.
- A second review found that comparing old inode/timestamp observations
also broke ordinary valid retries. Three real cases reproduced
valid-receipt touch/inode failures and stale-facts touch failure. The
fix permits metadata freshness changes across attempts while keeping
exact byte/path/mode/checkpoint/archive coverage and the existing locked
within-attempt metadata fence.
- Final local owner suite on the metadata follow-up: **102/102
integration cases passed in 44.04 seconds**, including valid
touch/new-inode retries, stale refresh with the same archive and no PUT,
four-scalar audit reconstruction, changed bytes/mode/entries, and a
touch during archive readback that must refuse. Server typecheck, module
boundaries and diff checks passed. The final-head CI and review results
appear below.
- Final head `c81475c927d0862dcb8d2c2356dc41ab4a27e63f`: [PR workflow
attempt
5](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42667287803/attempts/5)
completed successfully at 19:24:28 UTC on 2026-11-09. All 51 jobs are
accounted for: 49 passed and 2 were skipped. The actual [final ci /
verify](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42667287803/job/129382061558)
and [E2E
aggregate](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42667287803/job/129381486342)
passed. Typecheck, build and the selected test lanes passed. The
exact-head rollup is successful with no pending or failed checks.
- Attempt 5 resolved both trusted workflows to
`3a2f71db31aa99633610dc241f55f34ac65124de`, after #20339 merged. Its
routing gate passed and real jobs started. This verifies successful
startup and completion of this rerun; it does not exercise the
empty-runner fallback because routing succeeded.
- Earlier CI failures on `82e270f29fff98442c4184b96082f72f18a88721` and
attempts 1–4 of this final-head workflow remain nonpasses. Attempt 1 had
interrupted leaf jobs and failed aggregates. Attempts 2 and 3 ended in
workflow failure without a final verify job. Attempt 4 failed startup
with zero jobs and empty-runner errors. Those failures are not counted
as passes or labeled unrelated.

[Greptile](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/20322#issuecomment-6746395090)
and
[Ponytail](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/20322#issuecomment-6746327827)
reviewed the unchanged final head at **5/5**. Both historical review
threads are resolved; no inline thread remains open.
- Hosted application to an actual stale scope remains pending normal
release delivery.

## Risks

- Refresh must not bless different preservation evidence. The
unchanged-binding checks, fresh file and checkpoint proof, exact archive
reuse, source capability and locked receipt comparison remain mandatory.
- A fresh capability has a new witness fingerprint and expiry. The audit
retains the old fingerprint, database/local facts digests and
observation time. All unchanged proof bindings remain on the current
receipt. Their canonical reconstruction must match the old digest. The
new capability is validated at entry and publication.
- Readback verifies ciphertext size/hash and current-key checkpoint
material. This change does not claim a new archive GCM/plaintext
restore.
- Archive identity and rows remain unchanged, so retention ownership
does not change. Failed refreshes retain the previous receipt, original
files and unresolved remote recovery obligations.
- Older receipt shapes are not rewritten automatically. Normal
validation and named preservation refusals remain in force.

DottaandPaperclip 4d5265fe7e Preserve fully covered historical workspace sources (#19872)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Workspace migration must preserve local files while retaining
unfinished recovery obligations.
> - A shared Git source needs proof for its companion workspaces before
import can publish.
> - Recovery backfill can add a historical-source marker to an exhausted
prepared-export hold.
> - The hold owner rejected that marker even when every recorded
allocation already belonged to its proven prepared source.
> - This pull request accepts only that fully validated form through the
existing source owners and publication fences.
> - Unrelated work can continue while import saves the local files and
keeps the remote recovery hold intact.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19830. No separate public issue was found. A search for the marker
found no open duplicate PR.

**What happened?**

A companion workspace with an exhausted prepared-export hold blocked the
whole shared Git cohort after canonical recovery backfill added its
historical-source marker. The prepared and historical source readers
both accepted the same allocation.

**Expected behavior**

Local file preservation can proceed when all historical references are
already covered by the proven prepared source. The recovery hold and
remote obligations remain unchanged. Unknown or uncovered sources stay
blocked.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a shared Git repository with a selected leaf and a companion
workspace.
2. Give the companion a settled failed export, accepted result,
exhausted recovery and blocked task.
3. Run canonical historical recovery backfill for its retained
allocation.
4. Import the selected leaf through the normal online migration owner.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `4185e308659abf0887930e20049ca6e7cbfc0e81`.

**Deployment mode**

A source installation with legacy local Git workspaces and object
storage.

## What Changed

- Validate the exact historical marker schema, run and unique lease
references against the already proven prepared source and declared
allocations.
- Reuse the canonical historical-source inspector and compare the same
provider allocation and remote working directory.
- Reject unknown fields, malformed markers and foreign, duplicate or
uncovered references.
- Keep the full marker in the existing hold fingerprint and retain the
existing source, task, lifecycle, finalizer and publication checks.
- Add real PostgreSQL/Git tests through shared-cohort inspection and the
encrypted import/restore owners.

## Verification

- The unchanged owner failed the actual selected-leaf importer
regression with `online_workspace_source_scope_unproven`. The canonical
prepared/historical reader controls passed before that refusal.
- Production head `3e678e10fa` passed 41 focused PostgreSQL/Git cases
across three files in 18.93 seconds after rebasing onto the new
finalizer schema migration. This includes 14 new cases; 80 unrelated
cases were filtered out. The final test-only review update passed both
additional multi-allocation controls plus the original selected-leaf
cold restore (3/3, 11.29 seconds); TypeScript passed again.
- The positive uses the actual historical backfill producer. It
cold-restores an encrypted selected-leaf snapshot with the original Git
tree unavailable and keeps the peer's task, finalizer, result,
allocation and recovery action unchanged.
- The tests retain an unrelated active object-backed run, prove the peer
finalizer lock is held, refuse bad bindings and reject late marker
changes without discarding the uploaded snapshot.
- Server TypeScript, module-boundary checks and `git diff --check`
passed. The canonical PostgreSQL wrapper exited and cleaned up.
- Final-head CI passed: 56 successful checks and four intentional skips,
with no failures or pending jobs
([run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42397090541)).
Greptile reviewed `0cbf0a0255` at 5/5 with no open findings; GitHub
reports CLEAN/MERGEABLE.

## Risks

- The allowance applies only to the existing exhausted prepared-export
hold. Other recovery forms and unknown or uncovered references remain
blockers.
- A marked hold adds database reads proportional to its already declared
allocations during maintenance inspection. It adds no provider calls,
payload download or recurring background work.
- Import saves the current local files. It does not claim that unsaved
remote files were recovered, that a provider stopped or that execution
may resume. Existing holds and warnings remain authoritative.
- Local tests use the real encryption and restore owners with a local
object backend. Hosted backfill and normal-delivery qualification remain
separate.

DottaandPaperclip 4185e30865 Recover archived commits from original bare sources (#19855)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Workspace migration must preserve saved files before the web server
releases its local volume.
> - An archived Git checkout can retain a trusted branch-deletion
receipt after its private clone and generated project cache are removed.
> - The original repository can still exist at its recorded file URL,
but the archive owner did not check that source.
> - This pull request permits a narrow, verified original
bare-repository source for the exact recorded commit.
> - The existing encrypted snapshot and publication owners then preserve
the workspace through their normal migration path.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists. Searches for the archived-source error and
original bare Git source found no duplicate change.

**What happened?**

Migration reported `archived_git_source_unavailable` for an archived
checkout even though its original bare repository still contained the
exact saved commit. The private clone and generated cache were absent.

**Expected behavior**

The canonical owner can use the recorded original local repository when
its full commit identity and source ownership are proven. Uncertain or
changed sources remain blocked.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create an isolated checkout from a local bare repository.
2. Close it through the normal cleanup owner and retain the successful
branch-deletion receipt.
3. Remove the private clone and generated cache, while retaining the
recorded original repository and full base revision.
4. Inspect the archived workspace for migration.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `84908d176b2800f4c792c4249c610ec0baebdd28`.

**Deployment mode**

A source installation with existing local Git workspaces and shared
object storage.

## What Changed

- Consider the exact configured file-URL repository only after the
canonical primary source is definitively absent.
- Require a matching source record and successful cleanup receipt, the
exact full base/deleted commit, a contained bare SHA-1 repository,
bounded standard configuration and alias-free metadata.
- Restrict this source path to local Git transport and a minimal
environment. Reconstruct the tree only in private migration scratch.
- Retain existing source fingerprints, journal identity, encrypted
upload/readback and final publication checks. Lock and recheck the
configured source and cleanup record before publication.
- Add real PostgreSQL/Git coverage for encrypted cold restore,
lost-reply retry and refused source or publication changes.

## Verification

- The unchanged owner failed the real four-object original-source
regression with an ineligible inventory.
- The review regressions failed before each repair: four
returned-primary retry/publication cases and two actual production
metadata/reaper cases.
- Final head `8925519310` passed all 40 focused PostgreSQL/Git tests in
56.38 seconds. Four positive formats use canonical/legacy metadata and
ordinary/verified-tip cleanup. Each imports an encrypted snapshot,
removes the original file URI from reach, then authenticates and
cold-restores exact files, executable mode and Git history.
- The same file covers source/receipt/writer guards, changed sources
before publication, authenticated lost-reply reuse and 18
returned-primary directory/alias/unreadable cases. Refused publication
retains returned edits and uploaded ciphertext.
- Server TypeScript, module-boundary checks and `git diff --check`
passed on this revision. Canonical test wrappers exited and cleaned up.
- An earlier focused run also passed 22 existing
archived-Git/restore-point controls. `pnpm verify --explain` completed
without executing extra suites. Required CI supplies final broad
coverage.
- Final head passed all 60 CI/review contexts: 56 successful checks and
four expected skips. Greptile reviewed this exact head at 5/5, with no
open review threads.
- One unchanged archive segment-boundary test timed out on both
framework attempts in the initial server shard. The one job-only retry
passed with unchanged code and timeout. The test and its resolved local
import graph match a green control revision. The original failures
remain retained; the cause is unresolved.

## Risks

- The fallback is intentionally narrow. Original repositories with a
different full tip, unsupported configuration, aliases (including an
aliased instance root), external object storage or more than 10,000
metadata entries remain blocked.
- The first source check and final publication check add bounded local
filesystem and Git work to this maintenance path. They add no recurring
worker or network Git access.
- Original repository files remain intact. Importing a retained
workspace does not make its configured local file URL portable for
future fresh project work. That separate configuration dependency still
requires preservation and qualification before volume removal.
- The local regression uses the real encryption and restore owners with
a local object-storage backend. It does not claim a hosted backfill or a
deployed migration.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, repository tools and code
execution. The exact serving snapshot and context-window limit are not
exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip b8e02fc2b4 fix(native): preserve bounded larger web inventories (#19832)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and preserves their work across server
changes.
> - Native harness preservation stores retained web-server files in
authenticated archives.
> - A retained skill can contain hundreds of valid local files.
> - The WEB evidence owner rejected any directory or inventory above 128
entries.
> - This blocked preservation of two 462-file skills even though their
payload fit the existing byte limits.
> - This pull request shares finite inventory bounds between capture and
archive validation.
> - It preserves every file and keeps the execution, identity, writer,
and publication guards.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #19814

**What happened?**

WEB evidence preservation rejected a retained source with 927 local
skill files. The source had settled execution ownership. The files fit
the existing payload limits. The directory enumeration failed before
archive publication because its entry limit was 128.

**Expected behavior**

Preserve a valid finite inventory within explicit file, payload, path,
and metadata limits. Keep remote recovery obligations unchanged.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Retain two 462-file skills and one three-file skill under a settled
native source.
2. Request canonical WEB evidence preservation.
3. The old owner rejects directory enumeration. The added integration
test reproduces this refusal with real files and PostgreSQL.

## What Changed

- Share the WEB limit through the existing controller archive owner:
10,000 total entries, 4 MiB of manifest metadata, and 4,096 bytes per
path.
- Apply the limits to filesystem capture, published binding validation,
and archive descriptor validation.
- Keep the existing 16 MiB per-file and 64 MiB payload bounds. Keep
authority history at 128 entries and 32 epochs.
- Add real archive and cold-restore coverage for 927 files, legacy
manifest compatibility, and bound refusals. Document the limits.

## Verification

- Genuine baseline RED: the new 927-file integration case reaches the
original `captureWebEvidence.directoryNames` limit and fails before
publication.
- The initial setup attempt failed before test collection because the
generated plugin SDK was absent. The required SDK build fixed setup; it
was not counted as a regression result.
- The first affected three-suite run passed 93 cases. The large
roundtrip exceeded the generic 15-second case deadline. That failure is
retained. The isolated large case passed with a 60-second case limit,
but full CI later exceeded that limit while the other 4,577 tests in its
shard passed. Both timeout failures are retained. The final fixture
keeps all 927 files and 18.5 MB, uses bounded 16-way independent
comparisons, and has a 120-second whole-case limit. The canonical
preservation signal remains 60 seconds. No production deadline or
assertion changed.
- The 927-file case then passed: encrypted archive, authenticated cold
restore, all bytes/hashes/modes, unchanged remote leases, and
database-only validation with source volume absent and storage reads
forbidden.
- The final metadata repair adds a genuine RED case: an entry list below
4 MiB previously emitted a larger complete manifest without rejection.
The owner now checks the complete serialized manifest. All ten focused
cases passed after that repair. The final bounded-I/O fixture passed the
same ten cases in 37.26 seconds, including the full 927-file roundtrip.
All 93 other affected cases passed in the preceding three-suite run.
Fresh required CI supplies broad final-head coverage.
- Server TypeScript, module boundaries, and whitespace checks pass.

Run the focused PostgreSQL checks from `server/` with the repository
wrapper:

```sh
node ../cli/node_modules/tsx/dist/cli.mjs ../packages/db/src/test-postgres-command.ts -- node ../node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run src/services/native-runtime/native-harness-filesystem-independence.integration.test.ts --testNamePattern 'preserves all 927|existing 128-entry WEB|WEB manifest beyond|oversized WEB filesystem' --hookTimeout 90000 --maxWorkers 1 --fsModuleCache
```

## Risks

The owner can hold more entries in memory. The fixed 64 MiB payload, 4
MiB metadata, path, and entry bounds constrain that cost. The archive
format and old receipt bytes do not change. Older builds still have the
128-entry limit and cannot qualify a larger new receipt. This change
does not settle remote recovery, grant execution authority, alter
finalizer locks, or change publication CAS rules. No hosted preservation
or deployment was performed for this PR.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol`, with code execution and repository tools. The
context window size is not exposed.

DottaandPaperclip ae1f781cac fix(native): preserve web files without settling remote recovery (#19814)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages work that AI agents perform for users.
> - Native sessions retain files on the web server and state in a remote
provider.
> - Replacing the web server must preserve its files without changing
remote recovery authority.
> - The existing maintenance owner requires destroyed-provider receipts
even when all web writers have settled.
> - This can keep the old web volume required only because a remote
recovery obligation remains unresolved.
> - This pull request adds a closed web-byte evidence mode to the
existing preservation owner.
> - The benefit is durable web-file coverage with unchanged remote
references, failures and continuation policy.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19748, #19806. A search for native harness filesystem evidence and
open web/harness changes found no duplicate implementation.

**What happened?**

A settled successful native source can retain a raw controller, a
separate warm supervisor and provider-home files while its historical
external lease has no termination receipt. The existing
filesystem-independence owner refuses before it can preserve these web
files. One retained skill file can also remain physically present after
its version row was deleted.

**Expected behavior**

Preserve every nonexcluded web file as authenticated evidence. Keep
missing files absent and deleted skill versions deleted. Leave VM
references, recovery actions, failures and execution authority
unchanged. Validate the published web-byte receipt on an empty
replacement using database bindings only.

**Steps to reproduce**

Use the included successful-source fixture with a settled web owner, an
unresolved external lease, real controller/supervisor files and a
retained skill whose version row is deleted. The baseline rejects at its
destroyed-provider guard. The new explicit maintenance mode preserves
the files and validates on a replacement. A separate fixture uses a
prior successful source, a failed retained last run, a genuinely absent
controller, a warm supervisor and 267 durable checkpoint parts.

**Paperclip version/commit**

Baseline `384fa2b7be`; final branch rebased onto `585c885168`. Current
head: `990210d7e9`.

**Deployment mode**

Original-volume maintenance followed by an ephemeral replacement. No
hosted operation or provider request is part of this PR.

## What Changed

- Add explicit `web_evidence` maintenance mode and a separate
`paperclip.native-harness-web-evidence.v1` receipt. Keep the existing
terminated-provider mode and old manifest shapes.
- Archive the closed canonical session-root inventory, the separate warm
supervisor and exact admitted skill manifests through the existing
encrypted `original_volume_source_evidence` owner. Preserve bytes and
modes. Keep canonical credential exclusions.
- Preserve local skill edits and deleted-version files as forensic
evidence. Create no skill version, executable checkpoint, provider
backup or recovery authority.
- Require original-volume capability, settled web writers,
physical/finalizer locks, exact task/source/cohort/input bindings and
final byte/mode/membership comparisons. Keep genuinely absent raw
controllers absent.
- Bind allocation and stamp identity while allowing later external
status and cleanup observations. Validate replacements from durable
database and archive bindings without the original anchor, filesystem or
storage reads.

## Verification

- Node 24.22.2, PostgreSQL 18.1, macOS arm64. The unchanged baseline
fails at the real destroyed-provider guard. The final revision passes
all 85 owner, original-volume capability and unchanged
continuation-policy cases in 21.14 seconds.
- Tests perform real encryption, persistence through the S3 storage
interface backed by the owned local fixture, authenticated restore and
exact byte/mode comparisons. The 281-byte file remains present while its
version row remains absent. The evidence archive stays separate from the
provider-session backup scope.
- The supervisor-only case preserves 267 database checkpoint parts,
keeps the raw controller absent and validates without original-volume
identity. Existing strict-mode and old receipt controls pass.
- Negative controls cover active web writers, expired but owned
finalizers, physical owners, foreign controller/supervisor identities,
missing manifests, symlinks, changed bytes/modes/membership/source
during upload, changed durable bindings, incomplete receipt coverage and
invalid late publication. Concurrent attempts retain one valid winner
and one audit event.
- Server TypeScript, module boundaries, diff checks and private-data
scans pass. The verification planner's first invocation used a wrong
script path; its canonical invocation refused a plan because fixture
inputs changed during selection. Neither attempt counts as a pass.
Required CI will provide broader application coverage.
- Earlier fixture and treatment failures remain recorded. They exposed a
missing helper, JSONB property-order instability, missing
separate-supervisor mode coverage and fixture timing/source/count
errors. The final same owner suite passes without weakened assertions.
- A canonical cleanup audit found two additional observation fields: the
cleanup controller and manual-attempt ID. Their real publication updates
reproduced false receipt invalidation on the first PR head. The narrow
correction keeps WEB coverage valid through those observations while
changed allocation identity still fails. The exact same 85-case suite
passes afterward. The final `990210d7e9` head has fresh Greptile 5/5
with no comments or unresolved threads. Required CI run
[42370607882](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42370607882)
passes: 55 successful checks and four intended skips, plus successful
Snyk. The old head's CI was superseded by this correction and is not
counted as a pass.

From `server/`:

```sh
node ../cli/node_modules/tsx/dist/cli.mjs ../packages/db/src/test-postgres-command.ts -- node ../node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run src/services/native-runtime/native-harness-filesystem-independence.integration.test.ts src/services/native-runtime/native-harness-original-volume.test.ts src/services/native-runtime/native-harness-filesystem-independence-continuation.integration.test.ts --hookTimeout 90000 --maxWorkers 1 --fsModuleCache
```

## Risks

This changes a maintenance trust boundary. It proves web-byte
preservation, not provider recovery or termination. External recovery
obligations and existing resume failures remain. Unknown layouts,
missing manifests, active local owners and changed authority fail
closed. Invalid receipts are not automatically replaced.

The inventory has independent limits of 128 entries, 16 MiB per file and
64 MiB total. Larger valid data stays on the original volume and blocks
this mode. Canonical credential exclusions remain excluded. Evidence
uses the existing encrypted ledger and retention roots; it does not
become an executable backup. Old receipts remain byte-compatible.

Startup adds bounded per-retained-scope database reads. Measure the
affected cohort's actual serving startup cost before enrollment.
Validation adds no filesystem or object read, worker or recurring poll.
Live source qualification and publication remain separate after review,
merge and normal delivery.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, repository tools and
PostgreSQL/filesystem test execution. The runtime does not expose a more
specific serving model ID or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 585c885168 fix: preserve prepared sources held by provider artifact failures (#19810)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Online workspace migration archives local files before it changes
their storage authority.
> - A failed provider session can leave an active board-owned recovery
hold over a prepared local source.
> - The existing migration owner accepts finalized sources and
workspace-export failures.
> - It rejects a settled provider-artifact failure even when the
prepared source and recovery allocation have complete bindings.
> - This PR permits that exact preservation case under the existing
source and finalizer locks.
> - The remote recovery hold remains active. The archive preserves local
bytes and the existing recovery recipe.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19642 and #19805 for the existing online migration and
source-closure owners.

**What happened?**

Online workspace migration rejects a prepared source held by a terminal
`runner_remote_provider_artifact_incompatible` recovery. This also
blocks another local workspace that shares the Git source. The provider
session had executed work. A pre-execution exemption would be unsafe.

**Expected behavior**

Preserve the local source through the existing immutable archive owner
when the board recovery, task version, terminal run, finalizer, and
declared allocation all match. Keep the remote recovery action and
authority unchanged.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a prepared native source and a failed run with provider
session and tool events.
2. Set its finalizer to an unowned terminal artifact failure. Add the
matching active board recovery and task status version.
3. Remove the local descriptor and inspect or migrate a shared local Git
alias.
4. Before this change, the source proof is rejected. The regression
fixture reproduces this failure.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on master `1674902b4f`. The final branch is based on
`5a92d53f7d`.

## What Changed

- Accept only the matching active board-owned artifact failure with a
current task block, no live execution authority, an exact producer
fingerprint, and a declared prepared-source allocation.
- Include the task version and complete existing source/recovery
evidence in publication revalidation.
- Lock the proven recovery tasks in sorted company scope before
publication checks. A held descendant task produces the existing busy
error.
- Add a real PostgreSQL regression with 124 tool executions, a missing
descriptor, shared Git aliases, immutable download, and cold restore of
the local archive.
- Add stale, foreign, owned, controlled, malformed, and publication-race
rejection cases.
- Document that this archive preserves local bytes and the recovery
recipe. It does not prove remote export or release the remote hold.

## Verification

- Genuine baseline RED: the positive migration regression rejects the
source before the production fix.
- Focused treatment: 12/12 PostgreSQL cases pass.
- Review-race RED: both a selected source and a Git companion published
while a descendant recovery task was locked. The corrected tests reject
both cases.
- Two affected owner suites after the lock repair: 91/91 pass in 23.18
seconds.
- Strict server TypeScript check passes after the lock repair.
- Module boundaries and `git diff --check` pass.
- [Current-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42367152081)
passes: 56 successful checks, four conditional skips, and one neutral
review check. No checks remain pending or failed.
- Greptile and Paperclip reviews are both 5/5 on `0a6e6c3ece`, with no
open findings.
- The first descendant fixture attempt hit the immutable task/privacy
guard before it reached the race. The corrected fixture creates that
task binding at admission and produces the two genuine REDs described
above.

## Risks

- A broad classification could let a migration move local authority
without a complete recovery recipe. The new branch requires the exact
failure, producer, task version, source allocation, and released
execution owners.
- Evidence can change during upload. Existing locks and full publication
revalidation reject those races.
- The remote allocation may contain changes absent from the local
source. This PR preserves only local bytes and the durable recovery
route. It does not mark remote work exported, finalized, or safe to
discard.
- No schema, provider lifecycle, admission, or polling behavior changes.

execution. The context window size is not exposed.

DottaandPaperclip d2efe3392b fix(native): preserve retired authority evidence (#19806)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages work that AI agents perform for users.
> - Native sessions retain control-plane files when execution authority
moves to a later run.
> - Volume migration must preserve these historical bytes before a
server can stop depending on its old volume.
> - The existing preservation owner archives the current controller and
supervisor, but refuses a nonempty authority-epoch directory.
> - A settled four-run session can therefore remain blocked after its
current controller archive is complete.
> - This pull request adds a closed historical inventory to the existing
encrypted evidence archive.
> - The benefit is preserved source evidence and database-only
replacement validation without granting execution or recovery authority.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19748. A search of pull requests for filesystem independence and
issues for authority-epoch history found no duplicate change. This fixes
its uncovered historical-file case.

**What happened?**

A settled native session retained three prior controller files in
authority-epoch directories. Its three historical database checkpoint
headers were absent. Maintenance preserved the current controller, then
refused filesystem independence because those historical files remained
uncovered.

**Expected behavior**

Preserve the exact historical bytes and modes through the existing
encrypted evidence owner. Keep original files, prior archive rows, run
outcomes, warnings, stamps, session pointers, and recovery policy
unchanged. Validate the resulting receipt on a replacement without the
source volume.

**Steps to reproduce**

Use the included four-run fixture with a current-controller-only
archive, three prior authority epochs, destroyed provider receipts,
released ownership, and absent historical checkpoint headers. Call the
canonical filesystem-independence owner. The base rejects the nonempty
directory; the treatment preserves the complete evidence and validates
it after removing source-volume identity from the test process.

**Paperclip version/commit**

Baseline `ef83d566cacf1d5f740d701560597dad2bfa4619`; final branch
rebased onto `27170dca49`.

**Deployment mode**

Original-volume maintenance followed by an ephemeral replacement. This
PR performs no hosted migration or provider operation.

## What Changed

- Add optional closed authority-epoch entries to the existing
`original_volume_source_evidence` archive. Preserve nested file bytes
and modes through the existing encryption, readback, ledger, audit, and
retention owners.
- Bind each epoch to its retained run, canonical checkpoint identity
when present, or explicit header absence plus the exact admitted
authority binding. Keep current-source checkpoint and artifact checks
strict. Historical evidence never becomes an executable checkpoint.
- Recheck the complete historical inventory at archive and receipt
publication fences. Keep physical locks, all-run ownership and
termination checks, source capability checks, and final CAS.
- Bind the history inventory and its database facts into the
authenticated archive manifest. Replacement validation uses database
bindings only. Later header presence, removal, retirement, or changed
identity invalidates the receipt.
- Leave history-free manifest bytes and receipt shapes unchanged. Keep
an existing current-controller-only archive when a later complete
archive is added. Unknown children and other nonempty history
directories remain blockers.

## Verification

- Node 24.22.2, PostgreSQL 18.1, macOS arm64. The final four-run fixture
fails on the baseline owner at its nonempty-history guard. The same
final fixture and treatment pass all 51 focused PostgreSQL/filesystem
cases.
- The positive case performs actual encryption, object-store
persistence, authenticated restoration, and exact byte/mode comparisons.
It proves replacement database-only validation with absent source paths
and storage reads refused.
- Controls cover foreign identities, unknown children, owned prior runs,
changed bytes or new files after upload, missing or newly present
historical headers, malformed and retired headers, an unknown authority
override, receipt-identity tampering, and a late concurrent winner.
Existing current-controller evidence and history-free manifest bytes
remain intact.
- The baseline/treatment driver restored only its two owned source files
in `finally` and verified their exact hashes. Earlier setup and
treatment failures remain recorded: missing bundled PostgreSQL library
links, an overly narrow raw-schema check, and an incorrect synthetic
transient-workspace binding. The final baseline and treatment use the
corrected same fixture; those earlier attempts are not counted as
passes.
- Review follow-up `21183b75f4` closes the missing-history-field gap.
Deleting history from an actual published receipt reproduced an invalid
true result before the fix. Unconditional manifest reconstruction now
rejects it; all 46 owner cases pass. Genuine history-free manifests
retain their exact bytes.
- Review follow-up `f3d305dd36` adds suspended historical Runner-state
bytes and mode checks through authenticated restore, active/foreign
state refusals, exact 16 MiB and 64 MiB boundaries, and retention of an
oversized file without publication. All 51 cases and server TypeScript
pass; production behavior is unchanged.
- CI run `42362784772` on the previous head had one unrelated 30-second
timeout in `manual-private-cell-report-assets.test.ts`, with 6,864
support tests passing. The failure remains recorded. The prior head
`21183b75f4b223cd3ec28124cdc194f24b4f79ba` passes [required CI run
42363408227](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42363408227),
including Runner support: 55 successful checks and four intended skips,
plus successful Snyk. The final test/documentation head
`f3d305dd3690a7db38b57c4a77389c17206cb76b` passes [required CI run
42364958386](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42364958386):
55 successful checks, four intended skips, one neutral review check, and
successful Snyk. Fresh Greptile is 5/5; all four review threads are
resolved. No timeout or assertion was weakened.
- The count warning is resolved as independent bounds: the actual
descriptor accepts 32 control-plane-only epochs (97 entries) and 32
epochs with 31 Runner states (128 entries), and rejects 129 entries. The
32-epoch and 128-entry maxima both apply; the capture budget is
unchanged.
- Server TypeScript and module-boundary checks pass. The local
verification planner selects ten broad application lanes; required CI
supplies that wider coverage instead of duplicating it locally.
- Reproduce the focused owner suite from `server`:

```sh
node ../cli/node_modules/tsx/dist/cli.mjs ../packages/db/src/test-postgres-command.ts -- node ../node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run src/services/native-runtime/native-harness-filesystem-independence.integration.test.ts --hookTimeout 90000 --maxWorkers 1 --fsModuleCache
```

## Risks

This changes a maintenance trust boundary. A source capture is limited
to 128 entries, 16 MiB per file, and 64 MiB total. These limits are
intentionally below the Runner's 256 MiB state maximum. Larger valid
epochs remain on the original volume and continue blocking filesystem
independence. It uses bounded directory reads and file descriptors,
rejects aliases and unknown paths, and rechecks bytes before
publication. Storage failures retain original files and ledger evidence;
they do not settle recovery or authorize a retry.

Startup adds bounded database reads for retained historical header
bindings or their absence. It adds no source filesystem or storage
reads. The selected cohort's serving startup cost still needs
measurement before enrollment. Other historical layouts require their
own canonical source qualification. No missing provider history is
declared recovered, and no automatic corruption repair is added.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, source editing, shell tools,
and PostgreSQL/filesystem test execution. The runtime does not expose a
more specific serving model ID or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip f673bd3cb5 fix(native): verify legacy harness filesystem independence (#19748)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native sessions retain provider checkpoints and recovery state
across turns.
> - Server replacement must preserve every remaining local data
dependency.
> - A legacy backup stamp can outlive a destroyed provider and an absent
local backup.
> - Surviving skill files can already have exact immutable package
copies.
> - Raw controller files also contain stream events that database
checkpoints omit.
> - This pull request records verified filesystem independence under the
original-volume maintenance owner.
> - Replacement startup checks durable bindings while existing resume
failures and policies remain intact.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19715, #19729, #19733.

**What happened?**

Startup treats every retained legacy backup stamp without a current
backup row as a local filesystem dependency. This also blocks sessions
whose provider was already destroyed and whose remaining local skill
bytes have exact durable copies.

**Expected behavior**

An authorized maintenance owner can prove that an exact retained source
has no uncovered local harness payload. Startup can use that proof after
replacement. The proof must preserve failed recovery state and must not
invent a provider backup.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Retain a terminal native session, its checkpoint, and its legacy
backup stamp.
2. Record exact canonical destroyed-provider receipts. Keep only
admitted immutable skill files on the original host.
3. Publish the owner-verified independence receipt. The old startup
predicate still blocks; the updated predicate validates its durable
bindings.

## What Changed

- Add an internal original-volume capability. It requires a private
nonce anchor, independently reviewed attachment evidence, current
reserved runtime identity, and a witness that is at most 120 seconds
old.
- Verify retained and selected-source inputs, checkpoints, leases,
destroyed-provider receipts, released ownership, and exact immutable
skill references.
- Inspect canonical persistence roots and compare surviving skill bytes
and modes. Refuse any provider directory present outside the current
persistence profile, including an old Codex home after a
preconfigured-home switch. Unknown data, backups, history, owners, or
source changes still block publication.
- Preserve raw controller and supervisor bytes through the existing
encrypted evidence archive owner. Match recovery records to the database
checkpoint, authenticate the exact archive row, and compare the original
bytes again before publication. The archive grants no executable
authority.
- Publish one audited receipt with source locks and a final comparison.
Keep original files, stamps, warnings, statuses, and session pointers. A
late capture retains a valid published winner and refuses an invalid
receipt.
- Validate published receipts from current database bindings on
replacement hosts. Add no startup filesystem probe, object read,
provider call, or recurring worker.

## Verification

- Genuine baseline regression: restore the original startup predicate
while keeping the actual receipt owner. The positive
PostgreSQL/filesystem case fails with expected `false`, actual `true`
after valid publication. Restore the changed predicate; the case passes.
- Final rebased head `e78f4b4424`: 42 affected PostgreSQL/filesystem
cases pass. This includes 32 owner guards, three paired continuation
cases, six existing failed-source archive controls, and one existing
lease-verified backup migration control. The other 113 tests in the
selected existing files were explicitly unselected.
- Genuine controller baseline: the unchanged prior owner publishes no
raw archive and accepts missing checkpoint parts. Both new regressions
fail. The repair passes encrypted byte-for-byte controller/supervisor
restore, missing checkpoint, foreign source, active source, and
changed-after-upload controls.
- Genuine omitted-provider baseline: the unchanged owner accepts old
Codex, OpenCode, and ACPX history after a preconfigured-home switch. All
three refusal cases fail. The fix passes those cases and permits
preconfigured execution with no omitted directory.
- Genuine late-publication baseline: both concurrent winner tests fail
before the repair. The repair keeps the existing valid receipt, refuses
an invalid one, and keeps one audit event. A delayed raw upload also
retains the first authenticated archive and its receipt.
- Capability controls: 12 passed, including empty replacement refusal,
stale or future evidence, changed deployment, missing volume, path
aliases, changed anchor, and current remount identity.
- The actual server-to-Runner boundary preserves explicit recovery
policy on original and empty homes. The separate actual CREATED-sandbox
preparation callback preserves checkpoint identity and policy without a
backup. Provider I/O and final transport construction are controlled.
- Warm sessions retain the same canonical refusal on both homes, make no
backend/provider attempt, and retain the saved checkpoints.
- Server TypeScript, module boundary checks, diff checks, and a
private-data scan pass. The Runner TypeScript build was refreshed after
rebase to include two new upstream exports.
- Fresh Greptile review is 5/5 with no unresolved threads on
`e78f4b44240b0fc33c2fd7cae2d5b4a2578e3153`; check `128330103712`
completed successfully. Required CI remains pending. No live
preservation or enrollment action ran.

Focused command from `server/`:

```sh
node ../cli/node_modules/tsx/dist/cli.mjs ../packages/db/src/test-postgres-command.ts -- node ../node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run src/services/native-runtime/native-harness-filesystem-independence.integration.test.ts src/services/native-runtime/native-harness-filesystem-independence-continuation.integration.test.ts src/services/native-runtime/native-controller-migration.integration.test.ts src/services/native-runtime/native-harness-backup-storage.integration.test.ts --testNamePattern 'owner-verified|legacy harness continuation|preserves a failed source online|migrates a lease-verified' --hookTimeout 90000 --maxWorkers 1 --fsModuleCache
```

## Risks

- This proves that no uncovered harness payload remains local. It does
not recover provider history or certify that no other copy exists.
Existing governed-wait and warm-session failures remain.
- Unknown providers, retained owners, extra payloads, missing
references, or changed source bindings fail closed. Invalid receipts
require investigation; this change does not repair or replace them
automatically.
- The maintenance capability requires independently reviewed Railway
attachment evidence. The original anchor remains stable across normal
releases; each new staging invocation needs current deployment and mount
evidence.
- Startup validation adds bounded per-scope database reads. It pages
candidate scopes and caps each source history at 500 rows. Measure the
affected cohort's actual startup latency on the qualified serving build
before enrollment.
- Raw archives use the existing backup ledger, encryption, retention,
and restore machinery. They preserve evidence only. They do not repair
missing provider history or grant a new resume policy.
- Local tests control provider and transport boundaries. Live staging
remains a separate step after review, merge, normal delivery, and a
fresh original-volume capability.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository tools, and local
code/test execution. The exact runtime variant and context-window limit
are not exposed in this session.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 7e3caa7bac fix(tree-control): resume work a pause gate refused after release (#19421)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The board can pause an issue tree. A pause stops work. Resume or
release must continue that work once.
> - PR #19394 made release re-dispatch a run that a pause Stop
cancelled.
> - That rule covers only a run that an operator Stop ended and that the
hold snapshot named.
> - A scheduled retry that comes due during a pause is not stopped. The
dispatch gate cancels it with `issue_paused`. The release did not see it
as owed work, so the task stalled with no run.
> - This pull request makes every gate that refuses work for a pause
record the covering hold. Release then re-dispatches that work exactly
once.
> - The benefit is that a paused task with a parked retry or a queued
run continues after release, with no manual wake.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19394

**What happened?**
A child task had a `workspace_busy` scheduled retry. The board paused
the parent tree. The retry came due during the pause. The
scheduled-retry gate cancelled it with `issue_paused` ("Scheduled retry
suppressed because the issue is held by an active subtree pause hold").
The board released the hold. Four minutes later the child was still
`in_progress` with no run, no execution blocker, and no new activity.

**Expected behavior**
Release (or `mode: "resume"`) re-dispatches the refused work exactly
once. No reconciliation and no user message are necessary.
Stranded-issue recovery does not add a second run.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Give an assigned child task a parked `workspace_busy` scheduled
retry.
2. Pause the parent tree.
3. Let the retry come due while the pause is active. The gate cancels it
with `issue_paused`.
4. Release the pause. No run starts for the child.

**Paperclip version or commit**
master at 4d49a31286 (includes #19394).

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

## What Changed

- `issue-tree-control.ts`: add `ISSUE_PAUSED_ERROR_CODE` and
`pauseSuppressionResult()`. A gate records `treeHoldSuppression: {
holdId, rootIssueId }` on a run that it refused for a pause.
- `findOwedPauseResume` now treats the latest run as owed when it is an
`issue_paused` cancellation under a pause hold. It uses the recorded
hold. For an unmarked run (a scheduled retry cancelled before this
change), it uses a snapshot pause that was active at cancellation. The
operator Stop rule does not change.
- Scheduled-retry gate (`run-dispatch/adapters/postgres.ts`,
`cancelSuppressedRetryInTx`): locks the pause row `FOR SHARE` and
records the covering hold. A concurrent release either sees the refusal,
or the retry sees no pause and runs normally.
- Queued-run claim gate (`heartbeat/queue.ts`): cancels with
`issue_paused` and the hold marker, after the agent start lock is
released. Before, the cancel re-entered that lock from inside it, and
the agent's queue stalled until the 30-second stale-lock timeout. After
the refusal is saved, the gate re-checks the hold and resumes the task
itself if release already finished (`resumeIfPauseAlreadyReleased`).
- Release (`issue-tree-resume.ts`, route): revisits the snapshot members
and every task with a run refused for that hold, also when `wakeAgents`
is set. This covers tasks created under the tree after the snapshot and
tasks moved out before release.
- `packages/db`: partial index
`heartbeat_runs_tree_hold_suppression_idx` (migration 0436, `CREATE
INDEX CONCURRENTLY`, registered as a top-level migration) for that
lookup.
- Docs: `doc/execution-semantics.md` (gate-refused work, race handling,
non-assignee and pre-fix scope) and `doc/DATABASE.md` (index).

## Verification

- Red before the fix, green after: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server
exec vitest run src/__tests__/issue-tree-pause-resume-run.test.ts` (21
tests).
- "resumes a parked retry the pause suppressed exactly once after
release / resume / legacy": before, `expected [] to have a length of 1`
(no resumed run). After, one `issue_tree_resumed` run with
`interruptedRunId` = the suppressed retry, no execution blocker, and the
task finished. `reconcileStrandedAssignedIssues` added no run during the
hold or after release.
- "resumes a queued run the claim gate refused during the hold exactly
once": before, the test timed out at 15 s (start-lock re-entry). After,
the run is cancelled with `issue_paused` and the hold marker, and
release re-dispatches it once.
- "resumes a refused retry on a task moved out of the paused tree before
release" and "... on a task outside the snapshot when release also wakes
members": review findings, one resume each.
- "leaves a due retry parked when the pause is released while the gate
refuses it": the test waits until the gate blocks on an uncommitted
release. The retry is not cancelled and runs once. Without the `FOR
SHARE` lock the gate does not wait and the test fails.
- "resumes work a gate refused after the release that should have
resumed it had finished": the late-refusal re-check resumes once, and a
repeated check does not dispatch again.
- "does not resume a paused-code cancellation that no pause hold
covered": negative case.
- Related suites pass locally: `src/__tests__/issue-tree*`,
`src/modules/run-dispatch`, `src/services/heartbeat/queue.test.ts`,
`heartbeat-dependency-scheduling`, `heartbeat-workspace-busy`, and
`packages/db` `client.test.ts`.
- I did not run a live staging check here. Staging APIs are not
reachable from this environment.

## Risks

- Migration 0436 adds a partial index on `heartbeat_runs`. It is built
concurrently and covers only cancelled runs with the marker, so it is
small.
- The scheduled-retry gate now takes a `FOR SHARE` row lock on the pause
hold before it cancels. Release updates that row, so the two serialize
briefly. Release does not lock issues or runs, so the lock order cannot
deadlock with the gate's issue-then-run locks.
- The queued-run claim gate now records `issue_paused` in place of the
generic `cancelled`. Stranded recovery already classifies `issue_paused`
as non-retryable. The pause resume owns that work, so recovery does not
add a second run.
- Scope limits (documented): a non-assignee run refused by a pause is
not replayed, the same as non-assignee wakes that admission drops during
a hold. Among pre-fix rows, only scheduled retries carry `issue_paused`,
so only those fall back to the snapshot. A pre-fix row whose hold is
already released does not self-recover; the staging task that showed
this bug needs one manual wake, or a new pause and release.

f2593b7905 feat: make Coordinator and Agent Chat standard and speed up navigation (#19360)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - People enter that work through the workspace, agent conversations,
and tasks.
> - Coordinator and Agent Chat still require experimental enrollment.
> - Task link prefetches do not warm the compact queries used by the
default task view. Chat also waits for a request when its navigation
list already holds the conversation.
> - This pull request makes Coordinator and Agent Chat standard and
reuses the reads needed for navigation.
> - People can choose Classic workspace in Experimental settings. Cached
work can appear while fresh data loads.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Workspace selection, Agent Chat availability, and navigation between
Chat, Tasks, and task details.

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting: UI, workspace preferences, instance settings, and the
database migration.

**Current behavior**

People must enable Coordinator and Agent Chat in Experimental settings.
Opening a task can repeat requests because prefetch warms the full
detail and comment queries, while the default view reads compact task
data and a recent comment window. Opening Chat waits for a detail
request even when the current person's conversation list contains it.

**Proposed behavior**

Coordinator is the standard workspace for everyone. Experimental
settings offer Classic workspace, off by default. Old Coordinator
experiment values do not select Classic. Agent Chat is available to
everyone, including instances with an old saved or managed off value.
Task link intent warms the queries used by the mounted view. Chat can
use the current person's company-scoped conversation list during
refresh.

**Reason and benefit**

People can use the standard workspace without setup. Repeat navigation
can show cached content while the server refreshes it.

**Breaking changes**

Existing Coordinator experiment and Agent Chat off values no longer
disable these surfaces. Classic requires an explicit new opt-in. The
workspace API keeps its existing response shape and audit checks. The
migration retains legacy values and adds a separate Classic preference.
Execution permissions, company access, and chat privacy checks still
apply.

**Additional context**

Roadmap check: this graduates existing surfaces and improves their
navigation. It does not add a new agent execution capability. Duplicate
searches found no open Coordinator workspace PR. Related server cache
work, Refs: #17828, addresses compact issue-list invalidation; this PR
addresses client navigation queries.

## What Changed

- Add a default-off Classic workspace preference. Derive the existing
workspace API response from that choice. Keep personal persistence,
account isolation, and audited writes in the workspace preference
service.
- Replace the Coordinator experiment control with Classic workspace. Use
Coordinator while preferences load. Update the existing settings
examples and navigation recipe.
- Retire the Agent Chat experiment control. Ignore old stored and
managed off values. Retain the compatibility key and the existing
execution and access checks.
- Reuse account- and company-scoped chat list data with its original
freshness timestamp.
- Share compact task and recent-comment query options between prefetch
and the task view. Keep full-history prefetch for Classic tasks and
expanded history.
- Add upgrade, replay, cache, account isolation, and browser switching
regressions. Update product, database, development, and roadmap
documentation.

## Verification

- Targeted preference, settings, migration, cache, and UI regression
tests passed during implementation. The cache tests hold refresh
requests pending and check that content still renders. They also check
account isolation and stale refresh behavior.
- A real browser test verified fresh Coordinator defaults, Classic
opt-in persistence, and return to Coordinator. It used an isolated
source checkout with fresh data on macOS.
- Token, migration numbering and safety, map, and Storybook catalog
checks pass after the rebase.
- Repository typecheck and build pass. Typecheck and token gates also
pass after review repairs. The broad local run passed all six chat
integration shards (1,931 tests). It then found the host-CLI-dependent
recovery fixture described below. Its remaining duplicate work was
stopped after the full current-head CI matrix passed; this is not a
claim that the broad local command completed green.
- Review repairs passed 419 UI/migration fixture tests, 19 Coordinator
navigation tests, and all 214 tests in the five affected server suites.
The 24 Chat/workspace browser tests pass, including standard Coordinator
switching and explicit Classic persistence.
- The broader browser repair run passed 85 tests. It retained two failed
assertions and skipped five later serial cases. The affected files then
passed all 11 tests after the fixes: reopen the desktop panel after
reload and open More for Audit and Connectors. This includes the five
serial cases that had not run.
- The broad local suite exposed a recovery fixture that executed the
host Codex CLI during a simulated remote probe. On a host with Codex
0.154.0, model fallback broke its fixed-model assertion. The fake
sandbox now reports Codex 0.160.0. All 20 selected recovery/provider
compatibility cases pass after the repair.
- A CLI company import/export suite timed out during server startup in
the second CI run. The port fallback is intentional in that fixture. No
root cause was established. That suite passes on the final commit in CI.
This records recovery, not a claimed product fix for the earlier
timeout.
- The first CI run exposed remaining assumptions about the retired flags
and Classic UI. The repair commit updates those fixtures and navigation
steps. It also restores the missing enabled Cases destination in
Coordinator. Earlier local recovery attempts used the wrong fixture
notification and advanced fake time during live execution; the corrected
tests use the subscribed recovery queue and wall time during execution.
- Greptile reviewed commit `98972b030d4505d838427a2fca6b196b8cad6d47` at
**5/5** with no new comments. The original finding is resolved.
- Current-head CI is green: **56 successful checks**, with three checks
skipped by workflow filters. This includes typecheck, build, the
complete Vitest matrix, all eight browser shards, Runner verification,
release checks, and security checks. [Final CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42132651414).
- Typecheck caught missing `pid` and `startedAt` fields in the simulated
command result. The fixture now returns the complete process contract,
and the server test-layer typecheck passes.
- Storybook catalog alignment was checked. Storybook play tests were not
run. Hosted latency and cold bundle loading were not measured.

## Risks

- The new default changes the workspace for people who previously left
the Coordinator experiment off. They can opt into Classic in
Experimental settings.
- The additive migration must run before the new server code. It is safe
to replay and preserves explicit Classic choices.
- Cached content can be stale during background refresh. Existing query
invalidation and source timestamps still control freshness.
- These changes reduce avoidable loading waits. They do not establish a
measured improvement in hosted request latency or initial bundle
download time.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and browser automation. The exact serving revision and

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 bf10bc695a feat(task): show the agent's context window in task properties (#19273)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents run through a harness (Codex app-server, or Claude through
ACPX), and the runner turns harness events into Paperclip events
> - Both harnesses report how full the model's context window is. Codex
sends `modelContextWindow` with its token usage. Claude sends `used` and
`size` in ACP `usage_update`
> - Paperclip dropped both values. The task view could not show how
close an agent is to compaction, and a compaction left no visible mark
in the task chat
> - This pull request carries the context-window occupancy through the
runner, stores it with the existing usage events, and shows it as a
"Context" row in the task Properties panel
> - It also shows a "Context compacted · 230k → 38k tokens" divider in
the task chat when the agent compacts its context
> - The benefit is that operators can see when a long task is near its
context limit and when the agent lost detail to a compaction

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19252 (same pattern: a canonical harness event turned into
task-chat UI). Refs #19267 (status notices; it turns Claude's compaction
banner into a notice, and this PR reads that notice too).

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The task view shows no context-window information, and a compaction is
invisible in the task chat.

**Subsystem affected**
Runner usage normalization (Rust and TypeScript transport), the PRP
usage schema, a read-only issue API, the task Properties panel and the
task-chat transcript.

**Current behavior**
Codex `modelContextWindow` and ACP `used`/`size` are dropped in the
runner. `context.compacted` always has null sizes, Claude compactions
emit no `context.compacted` event at all, and the live runner turn hides
every marker except "interrupted".

**Proposed behavior**
`usage.reported` carries an optional `context {usedTokens,
windowTokens}`. The task Properties panel shows a Context row ("10% of
258k") with a hover breakdown (tokens used, input and cached input,
output, cost, compactions). The transcript shows a compaction divider,
with sizes from the usage before and after the compaction.

**Reason and benefit**
Operators can see when a long task is close to its context limit, and
they can see where the agent's earlier context was summarized.

**Breaking changes**
None. The new schema field is optional, and the new endpoint is
read-only.

## What Changed

- PRP `usage.schema.json`: add an optional `context {usedTokens,
windowTokens}` object. Regenerate the schema bundle and the protocol
manifest.
- Rust `provider_events.rs`: add `codex_context_usage` (last request
`totalTokens` and `modelContextWindow`) and `acpx_context_usage` (ACP
`used`/`size`). ACPX `usage_update` now sets `context`.
- Rust `provider_backend.rs`: Codex `thread/tokenUsage/updated` sets
`context` on live (non-historical) usage.
- Rust `provider_events.rs`: emit `context.compacted` for the completed
`context_compaction` provider notice that #19267 produces from Claude's
compaction banner. Only this path marks a Claude compaction, so the
server counts each compaction once.
- `runnerd-codex-transport.ts`: `rehydrateRunnerdUsageNotification`
keeps a valid `context` on `tokenUsage`, so it reaches the stored
`item.completed` usage item.
- Server: new `GET /api/issues/:id/context-usage` (issue read access is
required) and `issueContextUsage` service. It reads only the assignee's
current session (the session of its newest usage report), and returns
that session's latest context reading, non-zero totals, cost, and the
count of compactions across all of the session's runs. Added to OpenAPI.
Shared type `IssueContextUsage`.
- DB: migration 0432 adds two partial indexes on `heartbeat_run_events`,
built concurrently. One indexes usage items by run and time. The other
indexes `context.compacted` events by company and session. `EXPLAIN`
shows that both lookups use them.
- UI: new `ContextUsageMeter` (bar, percentage, hover card) and
`IssueContextUsageRow` in the Execution section of Properties. The row
refreshes every 8 s while a run is active, and once more when the run
ends.
- UI transcript: `native-run-events.ts` maps `context.compacted` to a
`context` activity entry with pre/post sizes from neighbouring usage
items. `transcript-adapter.ts` turns it into a new `context_compacted`
marker variant. The live runner turn keeps that marker as its own
timeline row.
- Storybook: `task-context-window.stories.tsx` (Properties panel in a
task, all states, hover breakdowns, divider).

## Verification

- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --lib provider_events` (new
tests: ACPX context, Codex context, banner compaction, notice
compaction)
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec vitest run
src/live/runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts`
- `cd ui && npx vitest run src/components/ContextUsageMeter.test.tsx
src/components/transcript src/components/task-chat
src/components/issue-properties`
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/issue-context-usage.test.ts` (embedded Postgres)
- `node scripts/typecheck-low-memory.mjs`, `pnpm check:token-gates`,
`pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner run check:protocol-types`
- Live check on a local worktree instance through the runnerd path:
- A Codex `gpt-5.5` task showed "10% of 258k" (27k of 258k, input 77k
with 49k cached, output 1.1k).
  - A Claude Sonnet 4.6 task showed "17% of 200k" (34k of 200k).
- Storybook: Tasks and conversations / … / Task chat / Context window.
- Not verified live: a real compaction. The divider is covered by unit
tests through the same projector path the task chat uses.

## Risks

- The schema field is optional, and older runners omit it. The UI
renders nothing until a harness reports a window.
- Migration 0432 builds two partial indexes concurrently on
`heartbeat_run_events`, which is a large table. The indexes cover only
usage items and compaction events, so they stay small. They add a little
write overhead to those events.
- Claude in-progress usage rows still record zero tokens with `requests:
1`. The final turn usage is correct. This PR does not change accounting.
- A "Compact now" action is out of scope. It needs a compaction-only run
that does not produce a run result. It will come in a follow-up.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, used through Claude
Code with tool use (shell, file edits, in-app browser for Storybook and
the live instance).

DottaandPaperclip dbbde744d2 fix(workspaces): preserve finalized recovery holds through offline import (#19180)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Offline workspace import must save files before local volume
removal.
> - A task recovery hold can remain after native file finalization
succeeds.
> - The old importer rejects that hold even when its file source is
exact and no controller owns the run.
> - Clearing the hold would discard the task's recovery obligation.
> - This pull request saves files and carries each exact recovery source
forward without resolving the hold.
> - Accepted-result finalizers keep their existing retry path.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19144, #18943, #19038. This PR builds on merged #19144.

**What happened?**

Offline import reports `workspace_recovery_unresolved` for terminal
native runs with finalized workspace references and active task recovery
holds. Some holds also name an exact historical file allocation.

**Expected behavior**

Save the workspace durably. Keep task warnings, recovery rows, results,
coordinator phases and task pointers unchanged. Retain exact future file
recovery and accepted-result finalization retries.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Retain a local task workspace and an active recovery hold for a
finalized native run.
2. Stop all application writers through offline maintenance.
3. Attempt workspace import.
4. Observe that the old importer rejects the hold.

## What Changed

- Add an owner module that checks the exact terminal native run,
finalized reference, released ownership and task relationship.
- Require the normal finalizer's successful company/run/task receipt for
an accepted-result retry. Support historical receipts without a
workspace foreign key.
- Validate recorded file allocations with the existing recovery-source
owner.
- Journal and recheck hold evidence. Lock recovery, coordinator, run and
allocation rows before publication.
- Give finalized file sources a separate migration marker. Keep legacy
execution-replay suppression out of accepted-result retry paths.
- Use the owning parser for older finalized references that omit
optional fields.
- Redirect future file recovery to immutable snapshot preservation. Keep
provider-stop and source checks intact.
- Verify native copyback or snapshot receipts for each exact allocation.
Require proof for every source, including completed mixed repairs.
- Retain existing successful copyback receipts. Keep a historical
folder's obligation on its real source workspace.
- Retain the finalized migration marker through the execution blocker
projection. Discover finalized child-task sources from their exact
ancestor workspace reference.
- Document the receipt and lock contracts.

## Verification

- Fresh local run at head 6ebe535751: 208
tests pass across the new preservation suite, migration suite,
publication concurrency suite and legacy restore recovery suite.
- `node ../node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run --config vitest.config.ts
src/services/finalized-workspace-recovery-migration.test.ts
src/services/remote-workspace-migration-concurrency.test.ts
src/services/remote-workspace-migration.test.ts
src/__tests__/legacy-workspace-restore-recovery.test.ts` from `server/`.
- Comment-only cleanup `a858d203c68a6c86fd39e30fb63dc56c1a303429`
removes added prose comments under CONTRIBUTING.md. TypeScript 6.0.3
output with `removeComments: true` is byte-identical before and after
for all six changed TypeScript files. Runtime behavior and the 208-test
evidence are unchanged; no new tests were added for this cleanup.
- The two file-restoration cases fail against the original importer with
`workspace_recovery_unresolved`.
- Positive tests delete the old folder and restore the saved archive.
They compare unchanged task, recovery, result and coordinator rows.
- Negative controls cover unknown kinds, mismatched sources, malformed
file markers, active ownership, active recovery and changed evidence
during upload.
- Red/green tests exercise getExecutionBlocker and the ancestor import
path. An accepted result without a successful finalize receipt remains
blocked.
- The mixed-receipt regression fails before the review fix and passes
afterward. A missing secondary receipt still blocks repair.
- Existing and future repair receipts remain readable. Accepted-result
finalization still returns its original successful receipt.
- Local server typechecking passed before the master replay. The
post-replay local check found a stale linked Runner declaration in
unchanged vendor code. Clean current-head CI Typecheck + Release
Registry and Build both pass.
- Greptile gives current head `a858d203c68a6c86fd39e30fb63dc56c1a303429`
5/5. All actionable findings are fixed and resolved.
- The prior CI run had one workspace shard cancelled after its spot
runner received a shutdown signal. No test assertion failed in that job.
That incomplete run was superseded by the equivalent comment-only
cleanup. The fresh full CI run passed on the current head; the original
infrastructure cancellation remains recorded here.
- [Current-head full
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41970385102)
passes: 54 success, one neutral and two skipped statuses, with no failed
or pending checks. Typecheck, tests and build pass.
- Ponytail's source review rates the behavior head 5/5. It did not
execute tests; the local and CI runs above supply execution evidence.
- No provider, serving migration or copied-data deployment acceptance is
claimed.

## Risks

- This path depends on the existing offline deployment fence. It does
not prove that providers stopped.
- Unknown or unverified source boundaries remain blocked.
- Migration receipts must remain exact. Missing or changed finalized
file-source receipts fail closed.
- Root maintainers own merge, deployment and copied-data acceptance
#19144 is already merged.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6.1 Codex, exact model ID `gpt-6.1-sol`. Used for reasoning,
code editing, shell tools and test execution. The runtime does not
expose its context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip de9f263454 fix(workspaces): prevent preservation lock cycles (#18918)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Remote workspaces save files before a later task turn can use them.
> - Admission, preparation and preservation share task, run and
workspace rows.
> - Snapshot inserts also lock their foreign-key parents.
> - Different acquisition orders could form a PostgreSQL deadlock and
delay saved-file recovery.
> - This pull request orders those runtime parents and refuses busy
legacy publication owners.
> - Files and ownership evidence remain available without replaying
provider work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Snapshot reservation and publication could hold a workspace while
waiting for a task or run. Other workspace owners could hold that parent
while waiting for the workspace. Review also found reverse preparation,
provisioning and legacy-import paths. Real PostgreSQL owner-pair tests
reproduce `40P01`.

**Expected behavior**

Concurrent owners must complete or retain their normal ownership
refusal. A lock cycle must not interrupt file preservation.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Prepare a remote workspace with retained files in disposable
PostgreSQL.
2. Schedule actual save and reserve, preserve, prepare or provision
functions on opposing rows.
3. Release the scheduling barrier.
4. Unfixed source deadlocks. Fixed source saves the files or returns its
normal ownership hold.

The tests also schedule an actual legacy import beside an arriving
reservation and a stale native status commit.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The original three save regressions fail on unchanged master
`ce7766dc11c4515190d48d395f26a90bba900f8a`. Reverse preparation,
provisioning and imported no-op controls fail on published `2d13b3f`.
The additional import-publication and native-status owner pairs also
have causal PostgreSQL RED/GREEN proof.

**Deployment mode**

Source checkout with PostgreSQL and real filesystem commands. Snapshot
encryption and reload use local object storage. No hosted storage, live
model or original-task recovery claim.

Related: Refs #18908, whose preservation acceptance exposed this
separate fault. This repair has no code dependency on that PR. Refs
#17846 for separate legacy terminalization locks. Refs #18746 for the
documented admission order. Repository search found no existing repair
for this owner graph.

## What Changed

- Lock company, current task and run before the runtime workspace.
Recheck the run binding and pin save-operation attribution.
- Apply that order to reserve, prepare, provision and both save
transactions. New shared-workspace provisioning receipts use the current
task.
- Lock import source parents before reservation and publication. Recheck
the source binding and retain the publication fingerprint.
- Use full-strength `NOWAIT` locks for legacy coordinator, run and
allocation rows. Only PostgreSQL `55P03` becomes
`remote_workspace_migration_blocked:execution_rows_busy`. The
publication transaction rolls back. Other errors propagate.
- Preserve writer, epoch, snapshot, foreign-key, Stop and owner checks.
Keep command, capture and upload I/O outside row-lock transactions.
- Add actual-owner concurrency, unknown-effect, eventual retry and
rollback controls. Document each owning transaction and its foreign-key
edges.

## Verification

- Node 24.22.2 and pnpm 9.15.4: all 107 save-concurrency,
migration-concurrency and migration tests pass.
- All 81 enabled disposable-PostgreSQL integration and lifecycle
controls pass on the final head. Both opt-in database variables point to
a dedicated local test database; no skipped case is counted as
qualification.
- Actual preparation/provision/import no-op peers reproduce three
deadlocks on the prior source. The fixed owners preserve and reload
files. The real provisioning command runs once; a lost response remains
an unknown effect and is never replayed.
- Actual legacy publication versus reserve and stale native status
commit also reproduce deadlocks before repair. Busy run/lease controls
preserve the journal, archive and files, then finish from the same
journal after release.
- A real publication constraint failure rolls back earlier coordinator,
profile and snapshot writes. Its original database error propagates.
- Immutable same-company and foreign-task guards, writer/epoch loss and
uploaded-object retention pass. Four real shared/inherited reuse cases
fail old receipt attribution and pass current-task attribution.
- The original spontaneous issue-foreign-key failure did not retain its
peer statement. These controlled owner pairs prove supported defects;
they do not identify that historical peer.
- Commands: `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/services/remote-workspace-save-concurrency.test.ts
server/src/services/remote-workspace-migration-concurrency.test.ts
server/src/services/remote-workspace-migration.test.ts`. Enable the
separate lifecycle suites only with their documented disposable test
database variables.
- Full recursive typecheck and `pnpm build` pass on production commit
`dacf6278abd3257c407a297c6db8872e76d85f61`, using Node 24.22.2 and pnpm
9.15.4. Current head `4c1d7769e6cfa9536a67c4e3b536cef155f19966` changes
only the canonical PostgreSQL host-support guards. All 18 changed
concurrency cases executed and passed with zero skips; their server
test-layer typecheck passes. All 57 current-head check contexts are
terminal and clean: 53 passed, two skipped and two neutral. Required `ci
/ verify` and `ci / e2e` pass. Greptile and Paperclip both reviewed
exact current head at 5/5 with no actionable findings. There are no open
review threads.
- Composition with #18908 includes this exact parent history. Its
production-composed head passed 724 affected tests, all 81 enabled
integration/lifecycle controls, recursive typecheck and build on Node
24. Its final test-only guard head passed the 18 changed concurrency
cases and their test-layer typecheck. This is local
server/PostgreSQL/native-backend-boundary evidence, not a hosted model
or storage claim.
- The required broad local Vitest attempt stopped at an unchanged chat
publication-batch test with `socket hang up`. The earlier CI workspace
shard timed out in the unchanged CLI chunked-ZIP test. Both failures
remain recorded; neither is reported as a pass or hidden by timeout
changes. The chat case passes one bounded focused head/base control, so
the original full-suite socket failure was not reproduced by that
control.

## Risks

- Short transactions take parent-row locks earlier. Competing writers
can wait for those transactions.
- Administrative import now refuses a busy native owner. It retains its
journal and archive for a later explicit retry.
- Native owners have different lock orders. The import's nonblocking
requests avoid a new global native lock policy.
- Missing bindings and uncertain command effects remain holds. The
repair does not infer termination, release an executor or replay
external work.
- No schema, foreign-key or timeout change.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The exact serving model build and context
window are not exposed in this agent session. The agent used reasoning,
terminal tools, code edits, PostgreSQL and filesystem tests. A separate
Codex agent reviewed the production ownership graph.

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.

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.

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.

DottaandPaperclip f7ad1dc7ca fix(workspaces): make attached project repositories writable (#18770)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people assign work to AI agents and inspect the
result.
> - A task can use repositories from more than one project.
> - Remote workspace preparation treated every additional project as a
read-only source.
> - This rejected valid Git repositories before the provider started,
even when no source was read-only.
> - The task page then hid the preparation reason behind a generic
failed-attempt notice.
> - This pull request prepares authorized repositories as writable task
copies and shows redacted workspace validation errors.
> - People can work across both projects and see the reason if folder
preparation fails.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A remote task with a selected Git-backed project and another mentioned
Git-backed project failed before provider execution. It reported
`remote_workspace_readonly_sources_unsupported`. Neither project had a
read-only setting. The task notice showed only that the attempt failed.

**Expected behavior**

Each attached repository should be writable inside the task workspace.
This should preserve source access checks and saved work. A workspace
validation failure should explain its cause on the task page.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Configure remote workspace storage and a native sandbox environment.
2. Select a Git-backed project for a task.
3. Mention another authorized Git-backed project in the task.
4. Start the task. Preparation rejects the additional source before it
starts the provider.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced against `dc9f387edc`, before this change.

**Deployment mode**

Managed remote workspace storage. Local regression checks use disposable
PostgreSQL and independent filesystem processes.

Related merged work: Refs #18403 and #18504. Those changes established
remote storage and metadata-only references. They still reject
configured cross-project repositories. No duplicate writable-repository
repair was found. Refs #18774 for the test-only retention-fixture repair
reused to unblock CI.

## What Changed

- Add every configured Git repository of an authorized referenced
project to `.paperclip-repositories/` as an editable task copy.
- Retain saved paths, refs, pins and files. Recheck retained project
access and source trust. Keep explicit read-only, local-source import
and remote feature gates.
- Keep committed snapshot repository coverage separate from later
requests. Honor configured default refs, resolve remote branch names,
and publish secondary checkouts only after checkout succeeds. Share
configured-ref resolution between root and attached-repository scripts.
- Include redacted workspace validation messages in the task
interruption projection and existing failure notice. Preserve Retry
permissions and render messages as plain text. Explain retained-folder
access and trust denials while preserving the dedicated low-trust
project-access path.
- Add source, authorization, redaction, UI and save/restore regressions.
Update the implementation contract and workspace maps.
- Reuse the reviewed test-only repair from #18774. Batch the
shared-workspace history fixture, verify its complete privacy-source
map, and drain owned test bodies before cleanup. Production retention
behavior is unchanged.

## Verification

- Red before repair: four source-resolution cases failed with the
reported read-only error. The task-error projection test also failed
because it omitted the cause.
- Green: 49 source and transport tests, 16 task projection and redaction
tests, and 10 UI tests. The assembled preparation check passes. All 48
remote workspace lifecycle tests pass. The full preparation suite passed
all 126 assertions but its cleanup hook exceeded 30 seconds. The
unchanged base reproduces the same cleanup timeout with all 126
assertions passing. The focused preparation check finishes cleanly.
- The real PostgreSQL/Git lifecycle checks cover both first-turn and
later project attachments. They verify the configured release branch,
saved edits, replacement allocations, unchanged source folders,
committed archive contents, and released writers.
- Review regressions were red before repair: the default ref became
null, later attachment failed during restore, non-default remote branch
checkout failed, and invalid secondary refs left partial checkouts. They
now pass.
- The local browser shows the workspace validation explanation and Retry
action. The fixture uses a saved failed run; this proves the error
display, not a successful live sandbox run.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass. Map, module-boundary and
token checks pass.
- A local two-turn acceptance probe repeated at `17ed67eaa7` used real
Codex CLI 0.165.0, `gpt-6-astra`, and `xhigh` effort. Codex wrote files
in both task repositories. The services saved them, removed the first
allocation and its Git sources, restored another allocation, and Codex
read the saved files and wrote a follow-up in both folders. This uses
the real source resolver and persistence services with a local
command-runner stand-in for sandbox transport. It does not qualify
Daytona, managed subscription forwarding, or the original task. The
first probe waited for stdin; closing the test harness pipe fixed that
setup error before provider work.
- `pnpm test:run` passed the first chat shard, then failed one chat
response concurrency assertion in the second shard. That case passes in
isolation on this head. The same isolated chat case passes on the
unchanged base. Both corresponding unchanged-base chat shards also pass
(351 and 324 tests). The cause of the earlier wider-suite chat failure
is not established. The preparation cleanup timeout and chat failure
remain part of this record.
- CI at `17ed67eaa7`: all other verification jobs passed. Browser shard
6 initially reported a request callback from the preceding test after
teardown; its single unchanged-code retry passed. Server shard 10 timed
out the 2,100-row retention confirmation fixture at 15 seconds on both
attempts. That exact case passes locally, but the repeated CI failure
required a repair. Its setup repeatedly rebuilt a shared-workspace
privacy map. The logs and failures remain part of this record.
- Reused the test-only repair from #18774 without changing its source
file. At `ab774e9418`, all 54 retention tests and all 25 ordinary
production privacy tests pass locally (79 total). Full CI
[41650626903](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41650626903)
passed on that commit, and its exact-head Greptile review was 5/5. The
fixture preserves its 2,100 rows, query-bound assertions, privacy-source
map, and completed-history test deadlines.
- The additional review identified retained-source access/trust denials
that still bypassed the workspace explanation. Real-resolver regressions
reproduced both plain-403 failures before the correction. Both now yield
a safe workspace validation explanation, while the dedicated low-trust
denial and saved workspace remain unchanged. The optional duplicate
ref-resolution block is also consolidated.
- Final review corrections: 65 source, transport and error-projection
tests passed, followed by all 48 lifecycle cases against an owned
disposable PostgreSQL database (113 total). The initial combined command
skipped the explicitly gated lifecycle suite; the subsequent dedicated
invocation enabled and passed all 48. Full workspace typecheck and build
pass. The first standalone lifecycle launcher lacked the repository
TypeScript loader; rerunning with that loader resolved its import setup
error. At previous head `7be02ea09c4ac76df560e8b517050cdf398f33f0`, full
CI [41654422329, attempt
2](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41654422329/attempts/2)
passed, Greptile is 5/5 on that exact head, and all review threads are
resolved. The first attempt timed out the unchanged voice-session
report/history case at 15 seconds; 3,027 cases in its shard passed. That
exact case passed locally, then its single unchanged-code shard retry
passed. The wider-suite timeout cause remains unproven. The completed
Paperclip advisory check is neutral; its earlier findings are corrected.
No staging deployment or original-task recovery is claimed.

- Master advanced while checks ran, producing conflicts in two adjacent
test additions. Merged `27d35314be` into this branch as
`d5c8d552939c86056abf8fe10833881b2ade41a4`, preserving both
workspace-error tests and the audited Stop/receipt tests. Kept workspace
maps to minimal corrections under the updated map rule. All 82 source,
transport and interruption cases, all 48 real-database save/restore
lifecycle cases, full typecheck, build, and map checks pass locally on
the combined code. Current-head [CI
41660719214](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41660719214)
and Greptile are pending; the earlier verified head has not been merged.

## Risks

- Additional remote project repositories are now editable task copies.
Shared source folders and upstream push permissions do not change.
- Snapshot coverage uses existing workspace metadata. Older workspaces
capture their previous inventory at reservation; successful save
publication advances coverage and snapshot identity in one transaction.
No SQL migration is needed.
- A retained copy can contain files from a project that is no longer
mentioned. Preparation rechecks that project's current access and trust
policy before reuse.
- Explicit read-only descriptors still fail. Source-less projects remain
metadata-only. Local folders still require import. No migration or
provider-pack update is needed.
- Error display reads only workspace validation errors. The existing
run-secret registry and username censor run before display truncation. A
redaction failure omits the explanation.
- The retained fixture repair pauses its row trigger only within the
isolated seed transaction, rebuilds the exact source map, and restores
the trigger before commit. A rollback regression and 25 ordinary privacy
cases pass. Its paged-case test budget honors the existing bounded inner
waits; production deadlines are unchanged.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, tool use and code execution.
The exact serving model ID and context-window size are not exposed by
this session. The test-only fixture changes are reused from #18774,
whose model record identifies OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol. The optional live
acceptance probe uses `gpt-6-astra` with `xhigh` effort through Codex
CLI 0.165.0.

Dotta 5dee4993f1 fix(server): distinguish aborted HTTP responses in access logs (#18781)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Operators use HTTP logs to investigate task updates and database
contention.
> - Node starts each response with status 200 before it sends any
headers.
> - The custom HTTP formatter printed that status when the client
disconnected before a response.
> - This made an aborted request look like a successful task update.
> - This pull request labels incomplete responses as aborted and
preserves error severity.
> - Operators can distinguish HTTP delivery from database commit
evidence.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

- Refs: #18753.
- Related: #14369 removes writes from legacy comment attribution reads.
This change addresses a separate logging defect.

The missing-write incident in #18753 remains unconfirmed. We reproduced
a misleading `PATCH /issues/:id 200` log when the client received no
HTTP response. We did not reproduce an HTTP 200 delivered before the
mutation committed.

## What Changed

- Label premature connection closure as `request aborted before
response` or `request aborted during response` in both success and error
log paths.
- Log aborts as warnings, including on routes whose successful polling
logs are normally silent. Keep explicit errors and 5xx responses at
error severity.
- Keep private webhook paths and query values out of aborted-request
logs.
- Add real HTTP disconnect coverage and real PostgreSQL task-update
tests with synthetic data.
- Document that HTTP completion logs do not establish database commit or
rollback.

## Verification

- Baseline: the new HTTP disconnect test failed because the log said
`PATCH /api/issues/synthetic-task 200` at info level, while the client
received no response.
- `node node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run
server/src/__tests__/http-log-aborted-response.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/http-log-redaction.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-update-lock-contention-postgres.test.ts`
passed: 81 tests in 3 files.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed. The build used a second
clean clone at the exact PR commit.
- GitHub CI completed at `e3e96d836119df5fa1c7f22615484265de5aa700`: 52
checks passed and two Storybook checks were skipped. Greptile returned
5/5 with no findings.
- Local `pnpm test:run` passed all six chat shards (1,834 tests). Its
general server stage then reported four failures. We stopped the run
after preserving these results and comparing the failing cases. The
later workspace and serialized stages were not completed locally. The
full local suite is not green.
- The four observed failures were the two OAuth concurrency cases in
`tool-access-service.test.ts`, the bounded workspace conflict case in
`workspace-runtime.test.ts`, and the `enableNativeRunner`-disabled
stop-control case in `muse-control.test.ts`.
- Comparisons used the same sanitized environment on unchanged master
`2b14ec03a48f17606db53fd7fc0edc53bc930409` and this PR. Both OAuth cases
pass in isolation on both revisions. The full tool-access file passes
all 498 tests on the PR; master has a different 15-second timeout, with
497 tests passing. The workspace case passes on the PR but fails
port-reservation setup on master. The Muse case passes on both. These
results do not explain or clear the original broad-suite OAuth and Muse
failures.
- Tested on macOS arm64, Node.js 26.4.0, pinned pnpm 9.15.4, and
disposable embedded PostgreSQL. The API fixture uses a synthetic
process-adapter agent. No model provider runs and no production database
or real credentials participate.
- The PostgreSQL fixture verifies an actual lock waiter with
`pg_blocking_pids`. A blocked issue update does not return 200 before
release. After release, status, monitor policy, inline comment, and
audit receipt are persisted before the completed response.
- Holding the company row with `FOR NO KEY UPDATE` does not block these
fixture writes. They return 200 with persisted data while the compatible
parent-row lock remains held.
- An injected database trigger failure returns 500 and leaves the issue,
comment, and mutation audit unchanged. Two influence-attempt receipts
remain under the existing documented cap policy.
- The combined lock/disconnect/failure test verifies no delivered
response, an aborted log, and rollback after an injected database
failure. The injected failure is not evidence of the reporter's
production root cause.
- Source inspection at release `v2026.1023.0`
(`1b4c803816e82b0265c8422e1a804327a7ed8c54`) finds the same
unconditional success formatter and awaited issue-update transaction.
That release was not runtime-tested.

## Risks

- Log consumers that parse the literal method/path/status message must
handle the aborted-request message.
- Client disconnects during streaming or SSE responses also use the
aborted warning. Expected disconnects may therefore produce more
warnings.
- A disconnected request may still commit after the client leaves. This
change reports transport completion and does not cancel or retry
mutations.
- This PR does not close #18753. The original missing-write cause and a
received-200-without-commit scenario remain unconfirmed.
- Local full-suite failures remain unresolved despite green CI. Keep
this PR in draft until that verification gap is accepted or resolved.

> This is a targeted bug fix. ROADMAP.md does not list overlapping
feature work.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, tool use, code execution,
and parallel subagent investigation.
- The exact runtime model ID and context window size were not exposed to
the agent.

DottaandPaperclip dd02595390 fix(db): retain hosted census construction callers (#18725)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Operators use a bounded database census to find expensive read
paths.
> - The hosted server combines application code and capture wrappers in
generated files.
> - Generic HTTP owners suppressed caller capture. Generated paths also
failed the caller allowlist.
> - This PR retains trusted query construction locations without source
maps.
> - Operators can distinguish application query sites while exact
owners, privacy limits and capture bounds stay intact.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17522, #17564.

**What happened?**

A real map-free bundle with two application query sites produces one
callerless census group. This affects unowned queries and queries under
the generic `http.request` owner.

**Expected behavior**

The census should distinguish trusted query construction sites. It must
keep unknown calls unknown and preserve specific semantic owners without
stack capture.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the committed bundle test and pinned comparison helper. The helper
bundles the actual capture module and real Drizzle, with a fake
postgres-js client. It does not assign a fake path to an isolated mock
caller.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Control: `09162fe893b464dd2ccdafd14bd3ef1611202a86`. The branch is
rebased onto `1e3ab690b072bbf6a1c1f1d0454ea49315b2074c`; neither
intervening commit changes this owner.

## What Changed

- Keep the exact generic HTTP owner and add bounded caller capture only
during the active census window.
- Exclude capture wrapper frames with a local V8 stack boundary. Keep
one static generated construction anchor for trusted root builders.
- Keep unscoped bundled driver and relational paths unknown. Their first
frame can belong to the ORM.
- Cover exact application lines, alternate parameters, prepared
builders, transactions, nested savepoints, privacy and inactive windows
in a real bundled scaffold.
- Add a portable pinned comparison helper and retained measurements.
Existing group, page, byte, expiry and output-rate caps remain in force.

## Verification

- PASS: 54 focused unit, real-bundle, existing runtime bundler and
real-PostgreSQL tests.
- PASS: database TypeScript check.
- PASS at final head `b270b92821`: full local `pnpm -r typecheck` and
`pnpm build`.
- The first local `pnpm test:run` was stopped after two chat partitions
passed (668 cases), because source changed during the run. This is
partial evidence only. The fresh final-head full local command passed
all six chat partitions (1,829 cases). Its general phase reported one
failure in the unchanged workspace port-conflict test. The exact case
then passed alone (1 pass, 178 skipped), and the unchanged full file
passed 179/179. The original failure did not reproduce; its cause is
unknown. The general phase was stopped after its remaining serial queue
was measured at roughly three hours. Cancellation did not print the
original assertion diff. The full command is failed/incomplete, not
passed. Remaining general files, workspace-project phases and 164
serialized files were not reached. Fresh final-head CI passes all
partitions.
- Final-head code CI passes. Greptile is 5/5 with its thread resolved.
Paperclip Review is delayed by an external review workspace recovery
failure; it has not completed on this head.
- Five serial alternating rounds per mode, 1,000 queries per sample, 40
retained samples, Node v24.22.2. Generic and unowned attribution rises
from 0/1,000 to 1,000/1,000 across two exact application anchors.
Specific owners stay stack-free.
- HTTP median wall cost is 10.528 → 15.169 µs/query; process CPU is
15.461 → 17.662 µs/query, with noisy overlapping ranges. This is census
overhead, not a product speedup.
- Review failure retained: the existing runtime bundler test first
failed because the public parser accepted arbitrary generated frames.
The fix restores default rejection and permits generated frames only
from the trusted builder boundary. The unchanged existing test now
passes.
- Full ranges, raw samples, proof boundaries and reproduction commands:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/b270b92821ae47c456a1b61d78c1593c5348ede7/doc/performance/2026-11-03-db-capture-hosted-callers.md

## Risks

- Active generic HTTP census now captures stacks. More groups can reach
the existing 2,048-group cap sooner.
- Anchors identify construction sites in one exact generated build. They
do not identify later async consumers, TypeScript lines or CPU owners.
- Unscoped driver calls can remain unknown. This is intentional.
- The no-network local fixture excludes deployed Sentry/OTel stack
formatting and traffic effects. It does not establish exact hosted
overhead.
- Wrappers remain installed after expiry. Disabled, future and expired
windows do not capture stacks. No schema, authorization, provider, or
query behavior changes.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol (`gpt-6.1-sol`) with reasoning, code execution and
repository tools. The host does not expose the context-window size.
Independent review used the same model family.

DottaandPaperclip a92f616cd0 fix(db): attribute bounded captures to execution owners (#18634)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent work through shared server and database
services.
> - High query volume can spend main-thread time on SQL construction and
result decoding.
> - The existing bounded response capture counts rows and bytes, but it
cannot name the operation that executed a query.
> - Bundled callers can be missing, and measuring every parsed JSON
value adds work to the diagnostic.
> - This pull request carries a semantic execution owner into each
measured query and bounds response sizing.
> - Operators can rank query volume by owner before choosing a
performance fix.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17504, #17522, #17537, #17564.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The opt-in `PAPERCLIP_DB_RESPONSE_CAPTURE_WINDOW` diagnostic.

**Subsystem affected**

Database diagnostics and existing server execution boundaries.

**Current behavior**

The capture groups by table, operation, and builder caller. It cannot
distinguish execution owners that reuse a prepared query. Bundled
deployments need source maps for caller locations. The capture visits
every returned value and serializes parsed JSON again to estimate its
size.

**Proposed behavior**

Version 2 captures use fixed semantic owners for HTTP requests, delivery
queues, execution phases, and budget work. They count completed calls,
returned rows, errors, and completion wall time. They sample successful
results 1, 17, 33, and so on, with fixed cell and string/byte limits.
Complex values remain explicitly unmeasured. Semantic ownership works
without source maps.

**Reason and benefit**

A short census can identify which operations issue the most queries or
return the most rows. It preserves each query's execution owner through
pooled connections, concurrent operations, and prepared-query reuse. It
reduces diagnostic work without claiming per-query CPU attribution.

**Breaking changes**

Opt-in capture output moves from `entry.v1`/`summary.v1` to
`entry.v2`/`summary.v2`. Sampled primitive byte lower bounds replace
all-result byte estimates. Consumers must use the new fields and must
not extrapolate them into a total. There is no database migration or
application API change.

## What Changed

- Added `withDatabaseOperation(owner, action)` to the DB package. The
server owns semantic labels. Queries retain execution ownership in their
completion closure.
- Added fixed owners at existing HTTP, delivery, budget, and execution
timing boundaries. Delivery work replaces the context of the producer
that woke it.
- Added complete call/row/error counters and completion wall durations
within the existing bounded window. Durations include waits and are not
CPU measurements.
- Sampled and bounded primitive-value sizing. Complex and oversized
values remain unmeasured. Known owners skip repeated stack extraction.
- Preserved the deadline, group limit, paced output, query outcomes, and
existing coverage exclusions. Updated the operator documentation.
- Added real PostgreSQL owner-isolation and prepared-query tests, server
scope tests, and plain bundled-runtime proof.
- Moved projection-test and benchmark full-response sizing into an
explicit test helper. Existing payload-size thresholds remain unchanged;
these synthetic checks do not use the production sampler.

## Verification

- Final-commit DB capture suites: 43 tests passed in 13.86 seconds
against the actual PostgreSQL driver, including concurrent owners,
prepared reuse, transaction failure, a dedicated client, sampling, and a
query crossing the deadline. DB typecheck passed.
- Server attribution and existing delivery/execution/budget suites: 53
tests passed. Final concurrent HTTP GET/JSON POST scope refinement: 5
tests passed.
- Runtime bundle suite: 8 existing tests passed. The new no-source-map
owner test passed after its fixture was corrected to use a driver
thenable. An ordinary native Promise can bypass an overridden `.then`;
the real PostgreSQL tests separately cover driver integration.
- Observer-only experiment: three alternating pairs per case on Node
24.22.2, macOS arm64, 3,000 calls per run after warm-up. For an
already-materialized synthetic JSON result, median capture CPU fell from
82.37 to 1.87 microseconds/call. For a 100-row primitive result, it fell
from 8.10 to 4.40 microseconds/call. Every result retained identity and
all calls were counted. The new diagnostic intentionally measures less
byte data; these are observer costs, not database latency or a hosted
application speedup. Disabled-case timings were below one
microsecond/call and too small for a performance conclusion.
- Final lifecycle regression: 28 unit tests and DB typecheck passed.
Closing the last capture disables and replaces owner storage;
overlapping captures retain it.
- Final-commit full recursive typecheck passed in 38.38 seconds and full
build passed in 40.81 seconds. The build stamp matches
`83ed4ba9cebd68d48929c46f15ab32d5c0b9687b`. Focused server attribution
tests also passed 5/5 before the test-helper-only migration. Full test
acceptance will use the repository's parallel CI gates; the unsharded
local command takes hours.
- Verification failures retained: initial sandbox runs could not open
local IPC/PostgreSQL listeners; permitted reruns exercised the real
services. One old test expected JSON serialization and was updated to
assert explicit unmeasured complex values. The first bundle fixture used
the wrong promise boundary, as described above. A retained-callback
regression also demonstrated that disabling and reusing the same
AsyncLocalStorage instance could resurrect an old owner; replacing the
instance after the last capture closes fixes that case.
- The first CI run found older projection tests consuming the previous
full-response fields. Those consumers now use the full-response test
helper, preserving their byte thresholds. The two complete affected
route suites plus helper tests passed 115/115 in 73.08 seconds. A
temporary full-row query negative control then failed the unchanged
2,048-byte limit at 5,000,812 bytes and was restored; five other service
suites passed 34/34 and the affected chat cases passed 3/3. All three
previously failing CI shards passed on the corrected head. A local
skill-list benchmark smoke check completed 255 captured queries with no
in-flight queries or overflow; this was integration verification under
concurrent test load, not a timing benchmark.
- Two final-head runner jobs lost communication with GitHub before
reporting a test result. One targeted retry of those jobs and their
dependent aggregate passed. All 53 final-head checks passed, with 3
intentional skips; previously passing suites were preserved.
- Hosted capture remains pending until the reviewed revision is deployed
and a bounded window is explicitly configured.

Reproduce the focused checks with Node 24 and the repository pnpm
version:

```sh
pnpm exec vitest run packages/db/src/response-capture.test.ts packages/db/src/response-capture-postgres.test.ts
pnpm --dir server exec vitest run --config vitest.config.ts src/__tests__/database-operation-attribution.test.ts scripts/bundle-runtime.test.mjs
pnpm -r typecheck
pnpm build
```

## Risks

- Owner context is active while a valid future capture window is armed,
up to 30 minutes before accounting starts. No-window and expired calls
take the direct path. Diagnostics still add bounded work while enabled.
- A nearest nested owner is reported. Broad `http.request` and
unattributed groups remain visible; this does not identify every service
callsite or SQL shape.
- The existing census excludes tagged/raw explicit-execute/streaming
paths and internal protocol commands. Its counts are not PostgreSQL
transaction totals.
- Completion wall time includes queue/database/network/scheduling waits.
Concurrent durations overlap. Sampled bytes exclude complex values,
large strings, and values beyond the sizing limits.
- Activation is startup-only. Operators must choose the window after
artifact preparation, allow rollout/warm-up time, and remove the expired
setting afterward.

## Model Used

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

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

**Problem or motivation**

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

**Proposed solution**

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

**Alternatives considered**

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

**Roadmap alignment**

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

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

**Problem or motivation**

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

**Proposed solution**

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

**Alternatives considered**

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

**Roadmap alignment**

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, `gpt-6.1-sol`, with reasoning, tool use, code execution,

DottaandPaperclip ed8fae8dbb fix(workspaces): preserve completed shallow sandbox exports (#18221)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip coordinates agent work and preserves its results.
> - Remote execution copies completed workspace changes back to the
host.
> - An agent can fetch a published branch with shallow Git history.
> - A full Git bundle omits the shallow boundary metadata and can fail
host connectivity checks.
> - This pull request carries the boundaries through the full-bundle
fallback and imports through normal Git fetch.
> - Recovery must also recognize completed native work on a reusable
lease without treating it as ordinary executor reuse.
> - Completed work can be saved without another provider turn, while
existing host history remains connected.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
Sandbox finalization can fail with a missing parent commit after an
agent checks out a separately fetched shallow branch. Re-exporting a
full bundle repeats the failure because Git bundles do not encode
shallow boundaries.

**Expected behavior**
Import the completed branch and saved files. Preserve existing host
ancestry and concurrent host edits. Keep normal Git connectivity and
workspace merge checks.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Prepare a sandbox from one host commit.
2. Fetch a different published branch with depth one and check it out.
3. Save a result file and restore the sandbox workspace.

**Paperclip version or commit**
Reproduced against master before this repair. The regression fails with
the missing-parent error before the production change.

Related public context: #15268 covers rewritten history integration.
This repair handles shallow bundle transport before integration.
Searches found no equivalent open repair.

## What Changed

- Export shallow boundaries beside the full bundle when the delta import
lacks history.
- Unpack into a temporary shared bare repository. Keep parent
connections already available on the host and import with Git's shallow
fetch protocol.
- Reject malformed boundary values and retain existing connectivity,
branch, and concurrent-work merge guards. Keep boundary probes within 15
seconds without consuming the separate 60-second Git import budget.
- Let source-bound preservation recover reusable leases only for the
finalizer-selected, accepted successful native result and matching
completion contract. Retain provider-stop, physical ownership and
host-writer checks; ordinary reusable sources remain blocked.
- Classify invalid Git metadata separately from omittable unsafe
archives. Keep native finalization failed and preserve service-owned
file recovery; carry the sender's dedicated rejection across the command
boundary without transient retries.
- Share the failure allowlist across bounded run/activity projections
and cancelled-preservation selection. Migration `0416` rebuilds the
matching partial index; task chat retains the non-retryable recovery
notice.
- Add real Git, filesystem sandbox and database recovery regressions.
Update execution semantics and affected verification maps.

## Verification

- Red: real filesystem sandbox restore failed with the same
missing-parent/revision-walk error before the export repair.
- Green: 240 focused Git, workspace restore, sandbox transport and
native-finalization tests pass. Coverage includes both transfer paths,
malformed/oversized metadata, a genuinely shallow host with its original
boundary intact, and concurrent host work with both merge parents
verified.
- Red/green: a 14-second simulated probe left the final real Git fetch
only 45,893 ms before the budget split. It now retains over 55 seconds
after the probes; a 16-second probe exhausts its own budget before host
import.
- Red/green: an oversized read progress report was retried three times
before its distinct metadata classification. It now aborts the first
read before payload consumption, leaves the host tip unchanged and does
not retry.
- Red/green: the real metadata error was swallowed by best-effort export
and native finalization incorrectly returned success. Both regressions
now pass; all 240 focused Git/restore/native-finalization tests pass. A
PostgreSQL/filesystem fault-injection test also verifies retained files,
failed run, service-owned recovery barrier, no preservation receipt and
no new wake.
- Red/green: duplicate metadata produced 47 Git process starts before
deduplication; the bounded-work regression now passes. Oversized byte
and boundary inputs fail before Git probes.
- Recovery red: both reusable lease policies exhausted recovery despite
a selected accepted successful result. The assembled
PostgreSQL/filesystem path now passes for retained and both reusable
policies, including idempotent re-admission after exhausted automatic
recovery, saved files, no agent wake, and once-only existing-result
finalization.
- Source verification controls reject ordinary reusable leases,
rejected/failed/unselected results, another physical allocation owner,
and an active host writer without changing recorded state.
- The 78-test PostgreSQL/filesystem recovery/source suite passed before
the metadata classification correction. Its new persisted
metadata-failure regression also passes. Full workspace typecheck and
build pass at final head `69f10daab2`.
- `node scripts/check-maps.mjs` and `git diff --check` pass.
- Full local `pnpm test:run` attempts did not finish. They are not
counted as passes. Early focused runs exceeded 5-second and 30-second
fixture deadlines; the final serial suite passed all 176 tests with a
30-second per-test budget in 56.8 seconds.
- Red/green: both bounded PostgreSQL projections dropped the new code in
oversized results. All 19 source/projection cases now pass, plus an
actual index-predicate test that excludes a metadata repair hold and
still selects ordinary cancelled work.
- Red/green: an oversized sender `.git/shallow` lost its error type
before host validation. The real transport test now verifies one typed
rejection, no shallow-payload read, and an unchanged host tip. All 465
command/sandbox/task-chat tests pass, and token/migration gates pass.
- Full typecheck/build pass after these final contract corrections at
`69f10daab2`; all 20 PostgreSQL source/projection/index contracts pass.
All current-head CI checks passed; Greptile is 5/5 with no unresolved
review threads. Merged #18230 supplies the CI-cache and Linux
shell-fixture baseline repairs; their duplicate changes have been
removed from this PR. The final Runner lane passed after one justified
rerun of an unchanged authentication fixture timeout (all 11 fixture
tests also pass locally). Previous CI failures and incomplete local runs
remain recorded; live deployment and retained-run recovery remain
separate verification.

## Risks

- The fallback creates a temporary shared bare clone. Metadata is
limited to 64 KiB and 256 unique boundaries, duplicate/parent probes are
cached, and Git import has a 60-second command budget plus a separate
15-second boundary-probe budget. It runs only after a missing-history
import failure.
- Incorrect boundaries could hide real host ancestry. The importer
retains available parent connections, and regressions cover that case.
- The full-bundle fallback can transfer a bundle twice. This preserves
the existing fast delta path; removing that extra transfer is outside
this correctness repair.
- Preservation eligibility expands only for completed native exports on
reusable leases. It creates no provider turn and leaves ordinary
reusable leases ineligible. Database/filesystem regressions cover result
selection and competing physical/host ownership.
- The migration rebuilds one partial index; no tables, columns or user
records change. There are no agent execution admission, model, trust,
recovery permission, workflow or lockfile changes.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with reasoning, code execution, and browser tools.
The exact serving variant and context-window size are not exposed in
this session.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 5d79d88d68 fix(server): let settled native finalizations permit idle sleep (#18184)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Native runs retain finalization records for recovery and audit
history.
> - Idle sleep checks durable work before it stops an instance.
> - The current check treats every retained finalization as pending
work.
> - A committed record can remain after its run and status effects have
finished.
> - This pull request recognizes complete records without deleting them.
> - Instances can sleep while unfinished execution and recovery work
remain protected.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A retained `native_run_finalizations` row prevents idle sleep even after
the run has finished and its status decision has been applied. The
current gate checks whether any row exists.

**Expected behavior**

Complete finalization history should remain available without counting
as pending work. Active leases, retries, accounting, recovery, and
incomplete status effects must still prevent sleep.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Finish a native run and retain its committed finalization.
2. Confirm that its accepted result, assessment, applied decision, and
delivered effects agree.
3. Request an idle report under a valid quiet admission hold.
4. Observe that the retained row reports background work before this
change.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on master at `cd0c86e5e1d427c8fa8aa8c3a9499391ee9b425b` with
a local PostgreSQL fixture.

**Deployment mode**

Server with PostgreSQL. No provider calls are needed to reproduce the
gate failure.

Related PR and issue searches found no duplicate for this check.

## What Changed

- Replace the blanket finalization-row check with a completion proof
bound to the same company, issue, run, accepted result, assessment, and
applied decision.
- Require the owning run's successful workspace-finalization receipt;
retain unresolved leases, retries, accounting, recovery, and status
effects.
- Share final-reply candidate discovery with the presentation recovery
worker, so a completed run cannot hide a required reply. The pure query
stays with native presentation; idle inspection uses it in the existing
read-only transaction and five-second statement limit.
- Register open warm sessions and in-flight close/checkpoint promises
with local idle inspection. Historical controller/provider process
metadata remains preserved.
- Add PostgreSQL and local-warm regressions and document the
retained-history rule.

## Verification

- PostgreSQL sleep/finalization and chat-monitor continuation suites:
300 tests passed, including 56 finalization cases.
- Local-warm regression: passed; an open session and its pending
close/checkpoint both block sleep until retirement completes.
- Server typecheck and server build: passed after review fixes.
- Full workspace typecheck and build: passed before the review
additions; hosted checks cover the updated revision.
- An earlier local full invocation encountered two chat recovery
failures that passed in isolation, and two existing Git workspace
fixture failures caused by Xcode system Git initializing `main`. Those
two pass with `init.defaultBranch=master` scoped to the test subprocess.
That superseded full invocation was stopped for review revisions; no
full local pass is claimed. No machine configuration or unrelated source
was changed.
- Fresh Apex review: 5/5 on `6846203fe2383bae1ede888fbaaedf83e9946e73`,
with all findings addressed.
- Hosted CI: fully green on `6846203fe2383bae1ede888fbaaedf83e9946e73`,
including the final verify gate. Twelve jobs were interrupted by a
simultaneous runner shutdown; rerunning the failed jobs completed
successfully.
- No hosted deployment of this change is claimed.

## Risks

This changes an automatic-stop gate. An incomplete proof could stop an
instance with pending work. The SQL fails closed and retains the
existing admission, local work, plugin, schedule, backup, and
provider-allocation gates. PostgreSQL cases cover unresolved leases,
retry/recovery intent, accounting, projections, rejected results,
unapplied decisions, and pending effects.

No migration or history deletion is required. Reverting the predicate
restores the conservative gate.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with repository tools and local PostgreSQL
verification.

DottaandPaperclip f1911a4c53 perf(skills): move repository packages out of Postgres (#18082)
<!-- entire-trail-link-start -->
https://entire.com/gh/paperclipai/-/trails/205/changes/paperclip/205
<!-- entire-trail-link-end -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents receive selected company skills before each turn.
> - Imported skills can need files from the whole source repository.
> - The current path stores those files in Postgres and reads large JSON
payloads during preparation.
> - This pull request stores verified packages in the configured file or
object store and keeps preparation queries small.
> - It also converts old rows automatically and restores missing files
from the exact saved commit.
> - The result reduces database traffic while preserving skill versions
and repository dependencies.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Company skill import, version storage, and preparation before agent
turns.

**Current behavior**

Repository snapshot bodies live in JSONB. Skill preparation can read
those bodies again even when the files already exist on disk. Historical
packages and native assets also need a bounded cleanup path.

**Proposed behavior**

Store package archives and manifests through the existing storage
service. Keep version identities, receipts, hashes, and recovery
metadata in Postgres. Convert legacy rows after the stored package
passes read-back verification. A missing package can use legacy bytes or
its exact Git commit under current repository authorization. No separate
data-migration command is required.

**Reason and benefit**

The warm path sends no repository bodies through SQL and reads no object
bytes. Cleanup runs through the existing deadline coordinator. Current
versions, active runs, explicit pins, and authored content retain their
protection.

**Breaking changes**

The normal application schema upgrade is required. Single-version and
skill-file responses keep their existing shape. Version lists,
current-version summaries, and test-run version summaries now contain
file names and kinds without file bodies. Diff and restore fetch
selected versions through the existing single-version endpoint. Older
server builds must not write after conversion unless they support the
new package format. The storage override and rollback limits are
documented in `doc/skill-package-storage.md`.

**Additional context**

Related work: #15731 preserves repository dependencies; #17923 changes
version-cache scheduling; #18080 changes delivery to remote Codex homes.
This change owns package persistence, acquisition, and expiry. It does
not replace those delivery or scheduler changes.

## What Changed

- Add company-scoped archive receipts, exact-commit recovery recipes,
migration deadlines, and a durable object-deletion queue.
- Add bounded archive upload, read-back verification, extraction,
concurrent request coalescing, and verified local caches.
- Convert old snapshots and versions automatically. Keep legacy bytes
when verification fails.
- Recover missing files through current source authorization and the
original commit. Validate repository identity, file hashes, modes, and
the aggregate hash.
- Expire unused recoverable Git packages and native assets after 30
days. Preserve active pins and the durable copy of authored or unproven
content.
- Keep warm preparation queries metadata-only. Bound file digest caches
and avoid repeated body hashing when file identities are unchanged.
- Extend the existing storage contract with cancellation. Register
package work with the existing coordinator. Optional conversion retries
retain the original bytes and may wait for ingress without blocking
sleep.
- Add regression tests, operating guidance, a deep trace, benchmark
receipts, and an optional maintenance command.

## Verification

### Final master integration and review repair — October 29, 2026

Current head: `a6065424249e763dfeac37161f1b52a9f25bd9b7`. Commit
`f8bbdd3dbd` resolves the conflicts with master `76a796e964`; the final
two commits repair the Apex deletion findings below.

- Keep both package-maintenance and version-retention notifications in
their write transactions.
- Keep the shared run-pin predicate and master's controller-lease
deadline metadata. Package expiry reads the updated protected-version
result.
- Preserve every master migration entry. Generate migration **0415
(`0415_zippy_zemo.sql`)** after master's 0414. Its skill SQL is
byte-for-byte unchanged from the previously tested idempotent migration.
Retain only the five newest schema snapshots. Migration numbering and
safety checks pass.
- Repair failed file/folder deletion: preserve a complete temporary
subtree until transaction commit, restore on upload or SQL failure, and
restore callback failures before releasing the mutation lock. Both
PostgreSQL regressions reproduced missing files before the fix and now
pass. They cover binary data, executable permissions, empty folders,
unlisted files, unchanged database/version rows, successful retry after
upload-claim expiry, and historical reads.
- Reconcile lost commit replies under the same advisory and row locks.
Check the saved version and source identity before restoring. Keep
committed deletions intact and preserve backups when the database
outcome is unknown or a newer edit exists. Four real-PostgreSQL outcome
tests pass; the prior code failed three of them.
- Full workspace typecheck and production build pass on the final
commit. All **204** focused PostgreSQL package/cache/retention/authoring
and filesystem-boundary tests pass, with none skipped.
- Apex review **18 passes 5/5**, with zero new comments on the exact
final head. All **34** review conversations are resolved.
- [Final-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40914116508)
completes successfully on attempt 2. The head has **55 successful
checks**, two neutral reports, two skipped checks, and a successful Snyk
status. No checks are pending or failing. All eight browser shards pass.
- Runner Vitest 2/2 timed out once in the unchanged ACPX
controller-replacement fixture. The same job passed on the preceding
commit. One unchanged CI retry passes all five ACPX recovery cases,
**2,253** Runner package cases and **126** native server integration
cases; their standard one and five skips remain. The initial timeout's
root cause is not established. Local diagnosis also hit the fixture's
eight-second session.open timeout with an authenticated Runner; no local
Runner pass is claimed.
- Both full local `pnpm test:run` attempts were stopped when Apex
identified deletion defects and source repair became necessary; neither
is claimed as a passing full local run. The final **204** focused tests,
full workspace typecheck, and production build pass. Full-suite
acceptance uses the final-head CI jobs. The superseded merge-head CI
included runners terminated by shutdown signals; each source repair
started a new full run.

- Auto-merge is enabled for squash merge. The final head is
conflict-free and all checks pass. GitHub's active master ruleset still
requires a code-owner approval for the dependency files. The existing
review requests are with `devinfoley`, `nickyleach`, and `forgottendev`;
no policy bypass was used.
- The earlier hosted stress and full native receipts below remain tied
to `a2e597d800`; they are not relabeled as a deployment of this final
integration. The earlier local PostgreSQL startup failure remains
recorded below; PostgreSQL ran successfully for this integration
verification.

### Full native skill execution — October 29, 2026

The full native-agent acceptance gap is closed on candidate
`a2e597d800eb989d565780e7aa947d5368676444`. Two qualifying native turns
used OpenAI API / `gpt-5.4-mini` in real Daytona sandboxes, on the same
disposable hosted TEST tenant as the stress test. A follow-up on the
same task consumed a newly saved skill version.

The task text asked for the assigned skill workflow. It did not contain
the proof nonce or expected receipt. The assigned authored skill
contained a Python verifier and a random package-local nonce. The agent
read the actual installed skill files and executed that verifier against
the imported, automatically converted 1,360-file repository package. It
checked the repository file count and reference/binary bytes, and
directly executed the repository's executable probe. Independent
verification matched the emitted JSON to the nonce and expected byte
hashes. The agent persisted the same receipt as its task response;
native finalization committed, workspace finalization succeeded, and
task state became Done.

| Qualifying turn | End-to-end run time | Recorded skills.prepare |
Repository files | Binary hex | Shell receipt SHA-256 |
|---|---:|---:|---:|---|---|
| Initial task | 47.881 s | 1822 ms | 1360 | `00ff07800a` |
`a1deb30dc095f2306c7aa9cc5ec396da12c68961cf5b809f4d7c20f7fc68493b` |
| Corrected follow-up, new nonce/version | 37.974 s | 377 ms | 1360 |
`00ff07800a` |
`dbcdc33fa1376b4edc136feae1cdf770560a73292467e93619efdda20e4282a7` |

Both successful shell receipts reported `probe: STRESS18082` and
`assetSha256:
e8ea7a2f15f7bb3b332a46adbef848465884c8996595aa234748befd544d1f3a`. Their
proof nonces, selected version IDs and receipt hashes differed, and both
ran on the same task. These are observed timings, not latency SLOs; they
include real provider work. The service stress-test timings remain a
separate measurement boundary.

Earlier failures remain in the evidence:

- The original five-minute Daytona allocation timeout never reached
model execution. After normal owned-stack restore, its durable cleanup
record was `expired` / `success`. The cause of that original allocation
timeout remains unknown; a later success establishes recovery only.
- Initial continuation setup used unsupported generic agent-update
fields and returned HTTP 409 before dispatch. Setup was corrected to use
the supported skill-assignment and versioned instruction commands.
- The intervening completed native turn read repository bytes and ran
the probe, but omitted the verifier JSON under the older test agent's
overly-specific instruction file. Its strict receipt validator failed;
it is not counted as a qualifying turn. Correcting the test agent's
instruction file and sending an explicit task-scoped wake produced the
qualifying follow-up above.
- The pinned application's immutable rate card omits `gpt-5.4-mini`, so
completed usage triggered the normal block-on-unpriced budget policy.
Supported append-only accounting corrections estimated the three
completed runs using the [official OpenAI model rate
card](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/models/gpt-5.4-mini): $0.75
input, $0.075 cached input, $4.50 output per million tokens, assuming
standard processing. Estimates totaled 12.482655 cents. Original usage
and missing-price records are preserved; the $1 hard stop and
unpriced-usage guard stayed active.
- Model shell attempts included a missing `xxd` command and incorrect
guessed file paths. Those failed calls and subsequent successful actual
verifier calls remain visible in complete event streams. No
zero-tool-error claim is made.

No product source changed during this continuation. The previously
measured contention, cold-start and memory limits remain. The later
merge resolution is covered by the separate integration checks above;
these hosted receipts qualify their recorded candidate.


### Hosted stress test — October 29, 2026

**Hosted acceptance:** full native-agent execution and a changed-skill
follow-up pass on the recorded hosted candidate. The final integration
section above records the subsequent conflict resolution and its
separate checks.

Tested baseline `929e840595c8933ca485ac7a2e99413e1e11ca64` and this
exact candidate sequentially on one disposable TEST tenant, with
external Neon PostgreSQL and actual S3. The fixture contained **1,360
files / 22.4 MB / ten skills sharing one repository**. Measurements
cover deployed skill-preparation and native-context services in an
adjacent diagnostic process, not a complete agent turn. The container
had **24 vCPU / 24 GB**.

| Warm workload | Median before → after | p95 before → after | DB
returned value bytes/preparation before → after |
|---|---:|---:|---:|
| One skill, serial | 1,060 → 125 ms | 1,303 → 155 ms | 22,610,389 →
1,771 |
| One skill, four concurrent | 4,415 → 297 ms | 5,143 → 328 ms |
22,610,389 → 1,771 |
| Ten skills, serial | 5,723 → 535 ms | 6,057 → 600 ms | 224,739,030 →
10,671 |
| Ten skills, four concurrent | 24,410 → 1,986 ms | 24,833 → 2,221 ms |
224,739,030 → 10,671 |

- Candidate warm preparation performed **zero S3 GETs**. Ordinary-pool
queries fell from 16 to 9 for one skill and 61 to 9 for ten, excluding
dedicated lock connections. DB numbers measure returned values before
Drizzle decoding, not wire bytes. Baseline/candidate sample counts were
30/100, 32/100, 5/50 and 8/48 respectively; the small baseline ten-skill
samples are comparative evidence, not SLO estimates.
- **Application-UID soak:** 800 ten-skill preparations over 10.3
minutes, four workers paced by 2.5 seconds; **zero failures**, median
**559 ms**, p95 **775 ms**, p99 **910 ms**, zero warm S3 reads. All 726
accompanying health/company-list requests returned HTTP 200. Their
end-to-end p95 was 569/502 ms, including network latency. The probe
overlaps most of the soak. Soak DB-response capture was limited to its
first 60 seconds.
- **Important remaining costs:** an unpaced 16-way ten-skill burst had
p95 **8.32 seconds** because company-level preparation serializes. Cold
preparation took approximately **1.1–2.5 seconds** for one skill and
**7.4–10.0 seconds** for ten. Ten-skill diagnostic RSS remained about
**1.17 GiB** (baseline 1.18 GiB), and the soak peaked at **1.35 GiB**. A
concurrent whole-container sample was 3.45 GB. This does not establish
suitability for a small-memory host or eliminate per-entrypoint native
asset duplication.
- **Upgrade without a manual data migration passed:** legacy snapshot
JSON shrank from 22,465,691 bytes to `[]`, with a stored package and
zero pending conversions.
- **Recovery passed:** sixteen concurrent cold requests coalesced into
two S3 GETs; full bytes/binary/executable modes matched; same-size
corruption repaired; an injected storage failure preserved warm access
and failed cold access safely. A disabled public-Git source denied
recovery, and after the actual five-minute backoff its exact SHA
reconstructed all 229 files. Cross-company descriptor access was denied.
Private-Git credential revocation was not tested.
- **Retention passed:** reclaimed 27,754,496 allocated cache bytes,
deleted an unreferenced package row and both objects, preserved aged
authored history, and expired/reacquired reconstructible Git content. A
version pinned by the failed native run was correctly retained. Only
owned fixture timestamps were aged.
- **Browser UI passed:** authored skill creation, saved edit surviving
reload, version history, and restoration of earlier content.
- **Initial native attempt (superseded by the qualifying turns above):**
one real run failed at Daytona allocation after five minutes
(`setup_failed`), before any model execution. Provider cleanup also
reported failure. That attempt does not count as a passing native turn.
Its receipt and all evidence remain preserved; its cleanup later
recorded success after normal restoration.
- Initial A/B commands ran as SSH root. Diagnostic-owned lock/cache
permissions caused one setup HTTP 500 and the first UID-1000 soak to
fail; exact fixture paths were repaired. The final soak, retention and
recovery ran as application UID 1000. A fresh UID-1000 one-skill batch
also passed (30 samples, median 116 ms, p95 321 ms, 1,771 DB value
bytes/preparation). Earlier harness-export, SSH, npm provenance, backoff
and UI-wait failures remain recorded alongside their successful retries.
- Private evidence includes raw timings, assertions, HTTP probes,
screenshots and failure/cleanup receipts. Initial failed-campaign
cleanup suspended and retained the owned TEST tenant and released the
shared QA account lease at **15:22:41 UTC**. The tenant was subsequently
resumed under its existing ownership for the native execution
qualification above. Final cleanup completed at **15:53:09 UTC**: the
account lease is released and the tenant is suspended/retained under the
original October 30, 12:24:52 UTC retention deadline. Its separate stack
lease remains held; no active or pending-cleanup environment lease
remained. The original retention window is deliberately preserved even
after successful continuation.

- Earlier hosted-tested head:
`a2e597d800eb989d565780e7aa947d5368676444`, integrated with master
`929e840595`. The earlier merge conflicts were resolved at this head.
[Current-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40884087629)
passed; all checks are complete with 55 successes, two neutral reports,
two skips, and no failures. [Apex review
15](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18082#issuecomment-6480257258)
passed 5/5 with zero findings on this exact head. All review
conversations are resolved.
- Ten real-filesystem boundary cases and server typecheck pass locally
for the security fix. Coverage includes cache roots, descendants,
individual files, symlink aliases, recursive ancestors, a future
concurrent cache fill, and allowed sibling directories. [Current-head
private-project integration
tests](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40884087629/job/123483306405)
passed all 29 cases, including authorized and unauthorized imports of a
cached private package. Full typecheck, build, server suites, all eight
browser shards, and Runner checks passed in current-head CI. Local
database tests could not run because PostgreSQL could not initialize;
this limitation is recorded below.
- The earlier generated migration preserved the newest five snapshots.
The final integration renumbers its unchanged SQL to 0415. Migration
safety/numbering checks pass. Its SQL is byte-for-byte identical to the
previously verified idempotent skill migration; repeated application on
this latest schema was blocked by the same local database startup
failure.
- The broader verification before the final migration-only rebase passed
1,025 package, lifecycle, remote-launch, native-session, and
asset-retention tests, 52 focused UI tests, full workspace
typecheck/build, token gates, and map checks. The linked complete CI run
passed before the latest focused fixes.
- A disposable MinIO instance passed multipart upload, verified
read-back, and cold restoration of an 18 MB archive.
- Twenty warm samples with a synthetic 1,349-file, 22.8 MB repository
retained five metadata queries and zero object reads. Median preparation
was 256 ms for one selected skill and 691 ms for ten, with 5 ms emulated
network delay each way. These are local measurements, not production
latency guarantees.
- No production instance was changed. Earlier verification failures and
their disposition are retained below.

<details>
<summary>Earlier failures, review findings, fixes, and rerun
evidence</summary>

- The first CI pass found a stale inventory-span expectation and a
missing repository-read span. Both are fixed; all three observability
tests pass. One browser test copied page text into its YAML parser after
reload; its first unchanged-head retry passed, but the race recurred
after rebasing. The test now waits for the renamed URL and completed
reload before copying the editor, retaining its original assertions. The
earlier full local suite did not complete cleanly: it reported setup
timeouts and assertions, while isolated relevant reruns passed. The
complete current-head CI run closes that broad verification gap. No
production instance was changed.

- The first Apex review scored 2/5 and identified six issues. The fixes
protect authored history even when it shares an in-flight Git upload,
recheck upload expiry during orphan deletion, bound failed-upload
cleanup, retain per-version kind/encoding metadata, add sanitized
failure diagnostics, and correct the migration guide. The final focused
run passes all 140 tests; the preceding eight-file run passed all 149
tests, including local storage and S3 diagnostics. Server typecheck and
migration safety/numbering checks pass after the fixes. The second Apex
review scored 1/5 and found unbounded maintenance storage calls and
mismatched package/Git batch limits. Those are fixed with a 30-second
cancellable cleanup deadline, shared 100 MiB/10,000-file scanner and
storage limits, and bounded Git read batches. The proposed manual
lockfile edit was rejected with evidence of the enforced CI-owned
lockfile policy. All 19 storage/recovery unit tests and server
typechecking pass. The new database-backed cleanup/conversion tests were
locally skipped because the host exhausted its PostgreSQL semaphore
capacity (confirmed directly by initdb). That gap is closed by
current-head CI: [package-store
tests](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40771320775/job/123109300889)
pass all 18 cases and [package-worker
tests](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40771320775/job/123109301157)
pass all 7, with no skips in either suite. The corrected YAML browser
shard passes. A separate planning-fixture test failed its cleanup DELETE
with an activity-log foreign key violation after its behavior assertions
passed; its one unchanged-head retry passed. The third Apex review
scored 1/5 and identified a one-slot pool deadlock, projected path
limits, cleanup holding the preparation lock during archive reads, and a
publication/expiry race. These are fixed with transaction-local reads,
prefix-aware bounds, isolated verification, and shared package row locks
with a publication grace. The separate Paperclip review also found stale
historical inspection, eager history downloads, and conversion retries
blocking sleep. Those are fixed. Local PostgreSQL capacity recovered:
the new database regressions ran, including the one-slot fork, paused
storage during a warm turn, and a locked publication during expiry. The
expanded run passed 144/145 tests; its remaining assertion still
expected file bodies from the version list and was updated to fetch the
selected version. The corrected company-skill suite passes all 81 tests,
and the final package/projection run passes all 27. All 52 focused UI
tests pass after updating their query-provider fixtures; the first UI
run exposed a fixture remount, and the follow-up exposed an editing
syntax error, both corrected. Full workspace typecheck and build, token
gates, and map checks pass. The sandbox initially blocked the build
tool’s local IPC socket; the authorized build rerun passed. Master then
claimed migration 0401. The branch is rebased on f8226b0515, the
unchanged SQL is regenerated as 0402, and repeated application passed
twice on the combined schema. Post-rebase workspace typecheck passes.
All 1,025 package, lifecycle, remote-launch, native-session, and
asset-retention tests pass on the combined head. All CI checks passed
for head 9d80a3b52d. The fourth Apex review scored 3/5 and found a
save/edit lock-order cycle, a retry retaining an uncommitted source ID
in its recovery recipe, and a summary read racing conversion. Commit
b7d9237c6a fixes all three. The new concurrency and retry tests pass
within all 61 package/source tests, and server typecheck passes. Master
then claimed migration 0402. The branch is now rebased on 65fa1cd617 and
the unchanged SQL is regenerated as 0403. All 68 package, source, and
worker regressions, server typecheck, migration safety/numbering, and
repeated migration application pass on current head 62553671a0.
Subsequent verification and review outcomes are recorded below.


- The fifth Apex review scored 4/5 and found cached version reads
unnecessarily depending on object storage and conversion reads missing
the coordinator cancellation signal. Commit 1eb90d80be fixes both:
cached reads verify bytes without the preparation lock; manifest and
archive reads carry cancellation through conversion. The first focused
run passed 70/71 tests, including all three new cases, but the existing
diagnostic test observed no warning. Its fixture now sets an explicitly
expired migration deadline; the final worker suite passes all nine
cases. Server typecheck passes.


- The sixth Apex review scored 4/5 with one finding: concurrent cached
inventories were unbounded. Commit 4b7589e14c gives cached inventories
and previews a two-reader/32-waiter limit independent of cold storage.
The first expanded pressure test observed a third reader before the
preview path had the same bound; both paths now share the local limit.
All 73 focused cases pass, followed by all 29 package cases after the
final overload adjustment; server typecheck passes. The separate
Paperclip review found no must-fix or should-fix issues. Its optional
suggestion to persist durability verification was considered: cleanup
intentionally verifies current external bytes before discarding the last
local authored copy, and the missing-object regression requires that
check. Shared-package eviction happens on cold fills with at most two
attempts and a ten-second budget.


- The seventh Apex review reached 5/5 with one remaining P2:
timeout-bearing manifest reads bypassed request coalescing. The security
review also found repeated archive acquisition after a cold
administrative read. Commit 79a80a39d2 shares manifest loads with
per-caller cancellation and cancels the underlying work when the last
caller leaves; coalesces identical cold version/file requests; and
publishes verified restored packages into the shared cache. Publication
uses a short nonblocking lock, while eviction verification runs outside
it. The first expanded run passed 73/74 tests and exposed a missing
originating DB for cache publication inside read-only inspection;
transaction readers now pass that owner explicitly, keeping metadata on
the transaction. The corrected run passed 75/75. A final eviction test
initially expected the shared package to remain after only its separate
runtime projection was reused; it now explicitly accesses the shared
package during verification. All 32 final package tests pass, including
independent caller cancellation, one acquisition across
concurrent/repeated reads, and warm preparation during stalled eviction
verification. Server typecheck passes.


- The eighth Apex review scored 4/5 with one finding: decoded cold
inventories outlived the storage semaphore while waiting for cleanup.
Commit 9d7921d1ec adds a separate two-response/32-waiter lifetime bound
held through cleanup, preserving the independent warm-read queue and
forwarding cancellation through eviction verification. The new
regression pauses cleanup after two responses decode, verifies a third
archive stays queued, and completes warm preparation before releasing
cleanup. All 77 package/source/worker cases and server typecheck pass.
On the preceding head, serialized server shard 6/9 was interrupted with
“The operation was canceled” after 57 seconds of tests; the log contains
no failing assertion. Fresh latest-head CI reruns that shard along with
the other gates.

- The ninth Apex review scored 4/5 with one P1: cold responses could own
both permits while waiting on a one-slot ordinary database pool held by
a queued transaction reader. Commit a94f0e409f reads caller-scoped
metadata before admission and isolates all acquisition/cleanup SQL on a
private connection. The new real-PostgreSQL regression reproduces the
deadlock against the previous head and passes with the fix; all 78
focused cases and server typecheck pass. The previous CI run completed
with 54 successful checks, including both formerly interrupted/stuck
serialized shards.

- The tenth Apex review scored 4/5 with one P1: preloading legacy bodies
before admission could retain many full repositories in queued requests.
Commit 276e353a37 removes that preload and also bounds legacy manifest
derivation/fallback, using private connections inside the I/O slot. All
80 focused tests pass; the final synchronized package suite passes all
36 tests and server typecheck passes.

- Apex review 11 returned 5/5 with zero comments on 276e353a37. While it
ran, master 8bc051245f added migration 0403, creating a metadata
conflict. Merge commit e1783764d9 integrates master and generates
0404_clumsy_leo.sql; its skill SQL is byte-for-byte identical to the
previously verified migration. The combined schema passes migration
safety/numbering, repeated SQL application twice, all 80 focused
PostgreSQL tests, full workspace typecheck, and full build. The
preceding a94f0e409f CI run was superseded and cancelled while its final
runner job was active; no old-head success is claimed for that run.

- Final acceptance: Apex review 12 returned 5/5 with zero comments on
e1783764d9. All 28 review threads are resolved. The final head has 55
successful checks, two neutral reports, two skipped checks, and no
pending or failing checks; the PR workflow completed successfully.
Superseded run 40789121902 was cancelled to free its workflow slot for
the final head; normal cancellation did not finish promptly, so force
cancellation completed it.

- October 29 conflict resolution (867c00673b): master 929e840595 added
installed-selection reuse and bundled relocation, routine cleanup
notifications, a hardened YAML copy helper, and migrations through 0413.
The merge retains those behaviors together with package read scoping and
the public-selection fast path; restricted selections still reauthorize
and the full row read rechecks scope. Generated migration 0414 retains
the existing SQL unchanged. Workspace typecheck/build and migration
checks pass. Local database verification is unavailable: initdb reports
semget / “could not create semaphores: No space left on device”; all 168
cases skipped, and repeated migration application failed at startup.
Docker returned HTTP 500 during container creation, so no Docker test
pass is claimed. Current-head CI must close this gap.

- Apex review 14 scored 3/5 with one P1: a local import could copy
cached private package files into a company-wide skill. Commit
a2e597d800 rejects cache trees and ancestors through a canonical
filesystem boundary, including aliases and ancestors checked before a
concurrent fill. Ten local filesystem tests and server typecheck pass.
The existing private-project integration case now rejects package-cache
imports for both authorized and unauthorized users. The preceding merge
commit’s complete CI run passed, and logs confirm all 168 locally
skipped cases executed successfully: package store 36, sources 35,
package worker 9, runtime selection 4, observability 3, authoring 81.

- Apex review 15 returned 5/5 with zero new findings on a2e597d800. The
separate Paperclip review found no must-fix or should-fix issues. Its
optional suggestions were considered: unexpected filesystem cleanup
failures remain visible, the durable marker cannot replace checking that
bytes still exist before deleting a last local authored copy, and
administrative history batching remains outside the pre-turn
optimization. The cache-path literal centralization suggestion is also
optional; the current producer and guard use the same directory, covered
by the new integration regression. All review conversations are
resolved.

- Earlier October 29 CI/Apex acceptance: a2e597d800 was mergeable at
that check, Apex review 15 passed 5/5 with zero findings, and all review
conversations were resolved. The hosted verification above records the
later acceptance limits and renewed conflicts. Workflow 40884087629
completed successfully, with 55 successful checks, two neutral reports,
two skips, and no pending or failed checks. The project-skill-sources
job log confirms all 29 cases ran and passed, closing the latest
integration gap. The preceding merge workflow also confirmed all 168
focused database cases ran and passed. No local PostgreSQL or Docker
pass is claimed.

## Risks

- First use after eviction can require storage or Git access. Revoked
grants, removed sources, and unreachable commits can prevent
reconstruction. Recovery never substitutes a newer commit.
- Historical packages without a proven recipe keep durable bytes.
Cleanup favors retention when a run pin cannot be interpreted safely.
- New uploads and conversion use bounded work and persisted retries.
Large initial conversions still add temporary storage and database load.
- Optional cleanup can wait until the next server wake. Supported
notifications assume one owning server process.
- Per-entrypoint native tree duplication and cold preparation cost
remain. The final ten-skill cold sample took 47.6 seconds on the shared
host.
- Generic authored edits can still hold an existing edit transaction
while a package uploads.
- Explicit file/folder deletion uses temporary disk space for rollback.
An uncertain commit with a changed skill or unavailable database retains
that backup and logs its location for recovery.

DottaandPaperclip dc8cbdb819 perf(server): narrow native session resume database reads (#17934)
<!-- entire-trail-link-start -->
https://entire.com/gh/paperclipai/-/trails/94/changes/paperclip/94
<!-- entire-trail-link-end -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Native agents resume prior provider sessions from saved run
checkpoints.
> - Resume selection must respect every newer progress barrier.
> - The prior query returned large context and profile JSON for up to 32
candidates.
> - Most candidates need only process, status, binding, and
checkpoint-presence checks.
> - This PR selects the same source in one SQL snapshot and returns only
its required payloads.
> - This reduces database response bytes while preserving session
authority and saved task context.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Native task/session resume selection in `findNativeSessionResumeRun`.

**Current behavior**

At baseline `bf3ef12f3a78d0b15a32ad57f7e16520fbf6cd5e`, a resume lookup
reads complete context and profile JSON for up to 32 runs, then reads
provider-event evidence. A synthetic 15-run history returns about 4.44
MB even though one checkpoint is selected.

**Proposed behavior**

A bounded CTE finds the first checkpoint or progress barrier. The same
SQL statement returns the selected source's native input, checkpoint,
tool fingerprint, wake envelope, canonical task brief, and process
identity. All fallback barriers and the 32-run limit stay in place.

**Reason and benefit**

Rejected candidates no longer transfer saved prompts and execution
inputs to Node. A single snapshot also prevents a gap between candidate
selection and payload hydration.

**Breaking changes**

None to public APIs or stored history. This private service returns the
fields consumed by runtime selection and checkpoint rebinding. It keeps
complete required nested values and distinguishes missing brief fields
from explicit JSON nulls.

**Additional context**

Checked `ROADMAP.md`. This is a targeted improvement to existing resume
behavior. Public searches for native session resume projections found no
duplicate. Related work includes #6573 (durable agent sessions) and
#17011 (managed Claude resume opt-in); neither changes this database
read. Provider-refusal recovery in #17676 is a separate concern and is
unchanged.

## What Changed

- Select the newest progress barrier within the existing exact
company/agent/task/session and 32-run window in one SQL snapshot.
- Return three required profile fields, the full wake envelope, and the
saved task's ID, title, and description only for the selected source.
- Preserve invalid non-null checkpoint barriers, provider evidence,
process authority, terminal-status rules, timestamp precision, and exact
string binding checks.
- Add real PostgreSQL regression coverage and a reproducible
baseline/treatment benchmark. Document the read and benchmark command.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed. `pnpm build` passed. The final server `tsc
--noEmit` also passed. The later benchmark-only relocation passed `pnpm
check:module-boundaries` and the real PostgreSQL proof; runtime and
regression-test source are unchanged.
- Related suites: `native-session-resume-projection.test.ts`,
`native-session-resume.test.ts`, `heartbeat/retries.test.ts`, and
`heartbeat-retry-scheduling.test.ts`: 78 passed and 54 skipped across 3
passed files and 1 skipped file. Embedded PostgreSQL/platform gates
caused the skips. Resume orchestration and the 10 new SQL tests ran
against isolated PostgreSQL 17.11. The final 10-test projection rerun
passed.
- New SQL cases cover all seven provider evidence kinds, each process
authority field, all terminal statuses, wrong bindings and runtime,
invalid checkpoints, null/scalar/array/object JSON, missing versus null
brief fields, the 32-row bound, ordering ties, future barriers,
submillisecond timestamps, and a change committed before the one
selection statement.
- `pnpm test:run` was attempted. The host's embedded PostgreSQL startup
failed after five attempts. The broad run recorded failures/skips in
embedded-database suites and was stopped after that concrete host
limitation (exit 143). It is not a local full-suite pass. The full
final-head CI matrix passes on
`dcde4e3dac2173321d7be2406e7775af8411826a`: 55 successful checks, one
neutral check, and two optional Storybook skips. Greptile completed at
5/5 on that exact head, with zero unresolved findings. The initial
benchmark-location policy failure was fixed before this final run.
- Reproduce the benchmark with `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec
tsx ../scripts/benchmark-native-session-resume-reads.ts
--baseline-ref=bf3ef12f3a78d0b15a32ad57f7e16520fbf6cd5e`. The optional
`PAPERCLIP_SESSION_RESUME_BENCHMARK_DATABASE_URL` must name an isolated
database ending in `_test`.
- The harness imports the pinned baseline module, invokes both actual
services, captures complete generated SQL and parameters, compares every
retained consumer field, and captures `EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, BUFFERS, FORMAT
JSON)`. Its incompressible wide fixture keeps a complete 96 KiB native
input in the selected result. Raw PostgreSQL text DataRow frames are
measured exactly; RowDescription, protocol command metadata, TLS, and
TCP are excluded.

| Synthetic local case | Baseline DataRow bytes | Treatment DataRow
bytes | Reduction |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| 15 runs, one selected checkpoint | 4,441,143 | 104,599 | 97.64% |
| 15 unused bootstraps | 4,435,590 | 0 | 100% |
| One small selected source | 6,395 | 6,319 | 1.19% |

The committed-head benchmark uses two warmups and seven alternating
samples per variant. Local round-trip medians and ranges were:

| Synthetic local case | Baseline median (range), ms | Treatment median
(range), ms |
| --- | ---: | ---: |
| Wide history | 20.32 (18.63–24.37) | 1.63 (1.40–2.21) |
| Unused history | 18.52 (17.63–20.35) | 1.20 (1.13–1.56) |
| Small selected source | 1.05 (0.95–1.70) | 0.78 (0.73–1.30) |

The small case has overlapping ranges and a 1.19% byte change, so it is
neutral. `EXPLAIN` server execution time was higher for the treatment
(wide: 0.402 ms versus 0.028 ms across the two baseline statements).
`EXPLAIN` does not serialize result rows; the new JSON presence checks
do extra server work while avoiding large result transfer. These are
local synthetic round-trip measurements, not production latency claims.
The final proof ran on `dcde4e3dac2173321d7be2406e7775af8411826a` with
no runtime source diff.

## Risks

- Selection policy now has a SQL form. Regression tests preserve the
pure selector's barrier semantics, including invalid non-null
checkpoints and JavaScript Date precision.
- Checkpoint-presence checks can still detoast candidate profiles inside
PostgreSQL. The change reduces returned bytes; it does not eliminate all
database JSON work.
- The selected checkpoint, native input, and wake envelope can still be
large because consumers require them in full. No new payload cap is
introduced.
- There is no migration, cache, background polling, ownership lock
change, deployment, or merge in this PR.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex. The host did not expose an exact runtime
model ID or context-window size. The agent used reasoning, code
execution, real PostgreSQL, and GitHub tools.
