DottaandPaperclip 76c787fffc fix(runner): report monitor notes length limits (#20604)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents use task monitors to resume a future check.
> - The monitor schema limits notes to 500 characters.
> - The field description did not state the limit. Rejection showed only
the schema path.
> - This pull request adds the limit to the description and to safe
length errors.
> - Agents can correct notes before they retry a rejected call.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related prior fix: #16868.

**What happened?**

A native `set_task_monitor` call with 501 characters in `monitor.notes`
failed with a path that ended in `notes/maxLength`. The error did not
state 500. The schema already had `maxLength: 500`, but the field
description did not state it.

**Expected behavior**

State the limit in the field description and in the rejection. Accept
500 characters. Reject 501 characters before dispatch. Preserve a saved
monitor when a replacement is invalid.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Supply a future `monitor.nextCheckAt` and 501 characters in
`monitor.notes`.
2. Read the native provider error.
3. Before this fix, it shows the constraint path without the maximum.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `7368a0b15c2f02107778a961144d86e2eb59a952` in a Linux
source checkout, with Node 25.9.0 and Rust 1.97.1.

## What Changed

- Use one local value for the published notes limit and its description.
The server test checks agreement with the persisted shared validator.
Keep the standalone Runner package boundary.
- Read the numeric maximum from the authorized JSON Schema validation
error. Keep submitted values private and preserve the 512-byte feedback
bound.
- Test the published schema and real bridge dispatch path at 500 and 501
characters. Test saved contents and rejection without monitor changes
with real PostgreSQL.
- Refresh generated contracts and document the limit.
- Sync two SDK proof lock identities after the reviewed master lock
refresh in #20615. This fixes the remaining CI proof mismatch. Keep
compiler, parser, Zod, and all rejection checks unchanged.

## Verification

- Final head: `bac60234ab3a8fc7043a90c7f9c81b02e250428b`.
- Red: the server regression failed because the field description
omitted `500`. The Rust regression failed because the error omitted
`maximum 500 characters`.
- Local passes after the final base update: 44 PostgreSQL
monitor/scheduler tests, 14 real-source Rust bridge tests, 11
cache/Docker guard tests, and 56 SDK proof tests. Runner TypeScript
build and generated contract checks pass.
- The focused Rust check compiles the actual source in a small Cargo
workspace. The full Rust CI suites also pass on Linux and Windows.
- Final-head [PR CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42881633978)
passes. This includes typecheck, build, Runner support, Runner Rust and
Vitest, server tests, serialized tests, and all eight e2e shards.
- Final-head [Windows Rust
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42881633419)
passes.
- Greptile: 5/5 on the final head, with no open findings. There are 61
successful checks and five conditional skips. The separate Paperclip
Review remains queued; its comment says work is paused. No CI or test
check is pending or failed.
- `pnpm verify` returned exit 2 and selected broader CI. The full local
suite was not run. Final-head CI supplies that coverage. Earlier failed
attempts were repaired and are not counted as passes.

## Risks

- Low risk. The existing 500-character bound, scheduling semantics, and
permissions stay in place.
- Length feedback uses only a schema path and numeric bound. It does not
print submitted text.
- The Runner binary and tool contracts must reach an instance for the
new guidance to apply. This PR does not deploy or merge.

## Model Used

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

Devin FoleyandPaperclip d2832a5a0b fix(runner): keep redacted display events inside their schema bounds (#20607)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agent runs execute through Paperclip Runner. Its daemon, runnerd,
stores provider events durably before the server receives them
> - Before storing rich display events, such as tool output and provider
notices, runnerd redacts credential-shaped values. It then checks the
result against the event's protocol schema
> - Redaction can make a string longer. A field already at its schema
limit then goes over the limit, runnerd rejects the event, and the
daemon exits
> - The event is replayed after each restart, so every replacement
runner exits the same way. The run loops until something outside it
stops the run
> - This pull request trims a field that redaction pushed past its
schema limit, in both places that redact rich display events, so the
event is accepted and the runner keeps working
> - The benefit is that long tool output that contains a secret no
longer crashes the runner

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

An agent run read GitHub Actions output and, after a context compaction,
entered a loop. About every 14 seconds runnerd started, restored its
durable PRP session, and exited with `paperclip-runnerd: redacted
display activity exceeds its schema bounds`. This continued for 15
minutes (62 launches) until a server restart ended the run. Every
reattach after that failed the same way, so the task was blocked.

**Expected behavior**

Redaction never makes a valid display event invalid. runnerd stores the
redacted event and continues.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Produce a tool output longer than 64 KiB that contains a
credential-shaped pair, for example a GitHub Actions log line
`GITHUB_TOKEN: ***`. The ACPX sidecar keeps its last 64 KiB, which is
exactly the `toolExecution.output` limit of 65,536 characters.
2. runnerd redacts the pair to `GITHUB_TOKEN: [REDACTED]`, which is
longer, so `output` now has more than 65,536 characters.
3. `preserve_bounded_display_content` returns `redacted display activity
exceeds its schema bounds`, and runnerd exits.

A probe test with 64 KiB of output that contains `GITHUB_TOKEN: ***`,
`token=abc`, `Authorization: Bearer x`, or `password: hunter2` gets
exactly this error on `master`.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at 491dfa1c6d.

## What Changed

- `acpx_event_payload.rs`: new `fit_redacted_display_to_length_bounds`.
- It asks the rich-event validator which fields fail `maxLength`, and
trims each one to its limit.
- `output` keeps its tail, like the sidecar's own truncation, and sets
`outputTruncated: true` on tool execution events. Other fields keep
their start.
- Fields within their limits do not change. A payload that still fails
its schema for another reason (type, pattern, or enum) is rejected as
before.
- Both places that redact rich display events call it before their
post-redaction schema check:
  - `decode_rich_event`, for ACPX `runtime.rich_event` payloads;
- `preserve_bounded_display_content` in `durable/state.rs`, before
durable storage.
- A new `tests/acpx_rich_events.rs` test decodes a 60,000-character
`plan.proposed` (Claude ExitPlanMode) with `token=abc`, and a
65,536-character tool output, through `decode_acpx_event`.
- Three new tests in `durable/tests/redaction_display_bounds.rs`,
included by the `durable/state.rs` test module:
- A full-length tool output stays within its bound for each of the four
credential shapes. It is the tail of the redacted text, no secret
remains, `outputTruncated` is set, and the stored event passes its
schema.
- A provider notice `summary` at its 4,000-character limit keeps its
start and gets no `outputTruncated` field.
- A short tool output that redaction makes longer, but still within its
limit, is not trimmed.

## Verification

- `cargo fmt --all -- --check`: clean.
- `cargo check --locked --workspace`: passes, with no new warnings.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --lib -- redaction_
durable_display_content keeps_a_long_plan governance_display`: 16 pass,
including the three new tests.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --test acpx_rich_events --test
acpx_event_payload`: 6 and 9 pass. Without the decoder call, the new
decoder test fails with `ACPX rich event redaction exceeded its schema
bounds`.
- Red check: before the fix, the probe described above failed with
`redacted display activity exceeds its schema bounds` for all four
credential shapes.
- Full `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --lib`: 620 pass and 2 fail.
The 2 failures are
`codex_provider::tests::fenced_receipt_output_reports_capacity_without_dropping_known_frames`
and `fenced_tool_rejection_keeps_identity_and_real_delivery_strict`.
They fail only under the full parallel run. In isolation they pass on
`master` and pass 3 of 3 times with this change.

## Risks

- Low. Only payloads that runnerd rejects today change, and those
payloads stop the runner. A trimmed display field loses some characters
at the limit. The tail of tool output is kept and `outputTruncated` is
set.
- Redaction still runs before trimming. Trimming only removes
characters, so it cannot expose a secret.
- Companion pull request #20608 bounds the transport's restore loop, so
any other event that runnerd rejects fails the run quickly instead of
looping.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) via Claude Code, with tool use
(shell, file editing, cargo builds and tests, read-only log analysis).

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 4f8dd0e25a fix(runner): stop relaunching a runner that keeps exiting after restore (#20608)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agent runs execute through Paperclip Runner. The server-side
transport supervises the runnerd process and restarts it when it exits
unexpectedly
> - That recovery keeps launching replacements until one restores the
durable PRP session, within a grace window
> - Each successful restore starts a fresh grace window. So a runner
that restores and then exits again a few seconds later loops with no
limit
> - In a real run, a deterministic runnerd crash looped this way 62
times in 15 minutes, with no error recorded, until a server restart
ended it
> - This pull request fails the transport after 3 restored runners each
exit within a minute of their restore. The error carries the runner's
last diagnostic
> - The benefit is that a crashing runner fails the run in under a
minute, with the reason recorded, instead of looping silently

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

After runnerd exited unexpectedly, `#recoverRunnerProcess` launched a
replacement. The replacement authenticated ("runner process restored its
durable PRP session") and then exited about 5 seconds later with the
same diagnostic. `#watchRunner` then started a new recovery with a new
420-second grace window. This repeated every ~14 seconds for 15 minutes,
until the server shut down. The run produced no output and recorded no
failure during that time.

**Expected behavior**

A runner that keeps exiting right after each restore fails the transport
quickly. The failure names the runner's own diagnostic.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a transport with `runnerReconnectGraceMs` set.
2. Kill runnerd. Recovery launches a replacement, which restores the
session.
3. Kill each restored replacement within a few seconds. On `master`,
recovery relaunches every time; the new test shows no failure after 3
restored runners exit.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at 491dfa1c6d.

## What Changed

- `packages/paperclip-runner/src/live/runnerd-codex-transport.ts`:
  - Records the time of each successful restore.
- Both runner-exit paths in `#watchRunner` (exit and completion
rejection) now go through `#recoverOrFailRunnerProcess`. It counts an
exit that comes within `RUNNER_RESTORE_STABLE_MS` (60 s) of the last
restore. A runner that stays up longer than that resets the count.
- On the third such exit (`MAX_UNSTABLE_RUNNER_RESTORES`), it fails the
transport with `native_runner_process_exited: runnerd exited 3 times
within 60000ms of being restored: <last diagnostic>`, and does not
launch again.
- The counting rule is a pure function, `unstableRunnerRestoreCount`,
exposed through `runnerdRecoveryInternals` for tests.
- `runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts`:
- An integration test with the real runnerd: it kills each restored
runner and expects the failure after 3 restores, with exactly 4 launches
and no further relaunch.
- A unit test for the counting rule, including the reset after a stable
runner.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run src/live/runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts -t "keeps
exiting right after|stable window|replacement whose staging"`: 3 pass (2
new, and the existing replacement-restore test).
- Red check: with `master`'s transport and the same tests, the loop test
fails. The transport never reports the failure and keeps relaunching.
- Full `npx vitest run src/live/runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts`: 296
pass.
- `npx tsc -p tsconfig.json --noEmit` in `packages/paperclip-runner`
(after `pnpm run ensure:eval-build-deps`): clean.

## Risks

- A runner that crashes repeatedly right after restoring now fails the
run after 3 restores instead of retrying indefinitely. The server's own
recovery then handles the failed run as it does any other
`native_runner_process_exited` failure.
- A healthy runner that restores and stays up longer than 60 seconds is
unaffected, and a later exit starts a new count.
- A companion pull request, #20607, removes the runnerd crash that
caused the observed loop.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) via Claude Code, with tool use
(shell, file editing, vitest and cargo runs, read-only log analysis).

DottaandPaperclip 89ec4e7614 feat(links): add cached GitHub pull request previews (#20593)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Task conversations contain links to pull requests and other work.
> - A URL alone cannot tell the operator whether a PR is open, merged,
or blocked by conflicts.
> - Fetching every link at render time wastes API calls and can expose
private data through a shared cache.
> - This pull request adds a demand-driven links service and a GitHub PR
adapter.
> - Each viewer and company has a separate cache. Repeated links share
one request and result.
> - Operators get context when they hover or focus a link. Normal links
stay useful when a provider is unavailable.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Task Markdown links, shared link metadata, and the server GitHub API
boundary.

**Problem or motivation**

PR links have compact labels and neutral icons. They do not provide a
rich hover card or a common status source across repeated mentions. A
background resolver cannot borrow a person's GitHub connection because
it has no viewer identity.

**Proposed solution**

Recognize supported links locally. Request metadata after a delayed
hover or keyboard focus. Show a card at the first line of the link,
aligned with its icon. Share the result across all mentions in the
current viewer and company. Keep the exact original navigation URL.

The first adapter supports GitHub pull requests. Open is green, merged
is purple, and merge conflicts are orange. Draft, closed, unknown,
loading and unavailable states remain quiet.

**Alternatives considered**

Eager page scans would spend API quota on links the operator does not
inspect. Company-wide caching of personal GitHub results would cross the
credential boundary. This change uses neither approach.

**Roadmap alignment**

ROADMAP.md was checked. This extends existing task links and the GitHub
resolver. It adds no deployment adapter or new background worker.
Searches of open and closed PRs for link previews and PR hover cards
found no matching implementation.

## What Changed

- Add host-owned link recognition and a normalized preview contract. The
service selects an adapter by provider.
- Add a board-only company read endpoint. It checks company access
before cache reads and sends a private, no-store response.
- Use the current viewer's eligible GitHub connection. A configured
connection that cannot supply credentials fails closed. With no managed
connection, reuse existing company credentials or public access.
Instance credentials retain the public-repository check.
- Reuse the GitHub external-object resolver for API transport and
response parsing. Add title and mergeability to its normalized snapshot
without changing its existing state contract.
- Coalesce requests by company, viewer and canonical PR URL. Bound
cached entries and concurrent work. Cache success for one minute and
failures for a short period or the provider retry window.
- Add an abortable request deadline. Timed-out work stays in the
concurrency budget until it settles. No periodic worker or idle polling
is added.
- Add a shared browser query and anchored preview card. Repeated
Markdown links observe the same result. There are no automatic retries,
window-focus refreshes, toasts or connection prompts.
- Add ten production-component Storybook examples and real
pointer/keyboard browser checks. Document the API and verification
route.

## Verification

- Linux source checkout: 233 focused tests passed in nine suites. They
cover recognition, fixed API destinations, provider states, access
failures, credential selection, viewer/company isolation, request
coalescing, expiry, cache bounds, concurrency bounds and mounted OpenAPI
coverage.
- A live public GitHub smoke returned this PR's correct title and open
state. Two equivalent URLs shared one real network request. Personal
connection access was not part of that smoke.
- A controlled HTTP server stalls a real response body. The test proves
cancellation while another lookup completes.
- UI typecheck and the server layered typecheck passed. The UI
production build passed.
- Token gates and query policy gates passed. All 30 map/catalog support
checks passed. The three new server test files also passed a focused
TypeScript check.
- All 27 focused browser checks passed on the reviewed source tree. They
cover light/dark themes, narrow layouts,
open/merged/conflict/draft/closed/loading/unavailable/failed states,
fixed positioning during pointer movement, exact navigation and keyboard
access. A real browser HTTP interception counts one deferred lookup for
two equivalent PR links.
- The first browser attempt lacked Chromium. A later combined build/test
attempt exhausted the sandbox's 8 GiB memory limit and killed Storybook.
Those attempts supply no pass evidence. Chromium is installed, and the
final browser checks run with the build stopped. One initial Storybook
dependency reload interrupted a streaming check. All eight existing
inline-link cases passed on the warmed server, followed by a complete
27-case pass.
- Synthetic Storybook pointer events did not exercise the native hover
boundary. The assertions now run through real Playwright pointer and
keyboard actions. The fixture stories retain the production components.
- Review fixes preserve the Draft label when GitHub reports both draft
and conflicts. They also preserve neutral link colors in dark mode. The
25 affected service checks pass, including the added combined-state
regression. Browser checks compare unknown, draft and closed links with
the muted theme color.
- The first CI policy run rejected a literal retry opt-out. The code now
uses the existing explicit zero-retry helper. A new test-spy type error
was also corrected. These failures are fixed; their earlier runs remain
failed.
- `pnpm verify --explain` returned exit 2 because the browser test path
selects broad CI. No full local suite is claimed. The final CI run
supplies that coverage.
- The previous head `437913c797963aa113bb82e2ae8b836969317ef9` passed CI
and received a 5/5 Greptile score. All four review threads are resolved.
Master then advanced. The current head
`ae2a1c2adbd61a621cca9bdd160561952613df6e` resolves the source-manifest
conflict against master `9b21dcbdda01296349f3cfe0a3a6891e79df6130`.
Fresh CI and review are running.
- The previous CI run found a lost class on decorated PR links and a
stale SDK source manifest. Both are fixed. The existing CommentThread
integration test and 26 focused link service tests pass. All 45 SDK
source/privacy tests pass. All eight source-manifest helper tests pass.
The manifest helper changed only source identities and added the two new
shared files. Runtime, compiler, parser and library pins stay unchanged.
- A later review found that expired timeouts could reuse a settled
promise. The service now removes settled requests from its
shared-request map and counts unfinished provider work separately. The
new regression failed before the fix and passes after it. The
concurrency-bound and real stalled-HTTP tests also pass.
- UI typecheck and token gates pass after these fixes. The browser rerun
needed Chromium in the new session. That first attempt did not exercise
the UI. The complete 27-case browser rerun passed before the master
merge with retries disabled. All 27 browser cases also passed on the
merge revision with retries disabled.

- After the master merge, all 84 focused link, OpenAPI and integration
tests pass. All 55 SDK source/privacy/manifest tests pass. UI typecheck
and token gates pass again. The source manifest retains master's
reviewed runtime pins and includes both sets of source changes. GitHub
confirms the PR can merge cleanly. The preflight helper rebuilt the
shared package and plugin SDK; Cargo is unavailable locally. Final CI
supplies Rust coverage.

- The latest master update changed the reviewed report-lock policy but
left the SDK lock hash at its previous value. The SDK source/evidence
checks reproduced the mismatch. This change sets only the SDK lock hash
to the authenticated output of the existing master policy and patch.
Compiler, parser and Zod pins stay unchanged. All 56 SDK
source/evidence/manifest tests now pass. All 84 focused
link/API/integration tests, UI typecheck and token gates also pass on
the updated source.

## Risks

- This cache is process-local. Separate server replicas can make
separate GitHub requests.
- A cached result can remain visible for its short lifetime after GitHub
changes. A later hover refreshes expired data.
- GitHub can report unknown mergeability. The UI shows conflicts only
when GitHub explicitly reports them.
- Personal preview data stays in viewer/company caches. It is not
written to company external-object records or persisted browser query
storage.
- Stories simulate the API. They do not prove a live GitHub login or
private-repository access.
- No schema migration is required.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6. The runtime does not expose the exact
serving model ID or context-window limit. Used reasoning, repository
inspection, source editing, shell execution and browser tools. No
subagents were used.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 42d4499489 fix(daytona): force a stuck stop before starting a retained sandbox (#20609)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - On Daytona, a follow-up task resumes the agent's retained sandbox
before the agent starts
> - The host stops an idle sandbox gracefully. A process that ignores
SIGTERM can leave Daytona in `stopping` for many minutes
> - Resume waited for that state change until its 300 s start deadline.
It never escalated, so each attempt failed after five minutes, and the
bounded retries did the same
> - On staging, a user comment waited about 21 minutes before the agent
started. Two resume attempts each used 299.7 s in the plugin dispatch
> - This pull request forces a stuck stop once, then starts the sandbox
within the same deadline. It also traces the wait with the observed
state
> - The benefit is that a stuck stop costs about 30 s instead of failing
the run, and the next case is diagnosable from the trace

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A user commented on a task that used a retained Daytona sandbox. The
first run and its first retry each failed after about 5 min 20 s with
`reusable_sandbox_resume_failed (cause=provider_error)`. The Honeycomb
trace shows `execution.plugin_dispatch` at 299.7 s in both. Inside it
there is only `lease.lookup` (44 ms) and `lease.channel_cleanup`, and no
`lease.start`. So the whole budget went to `waitOutSandboxTransition`,
which polled a sandbox that stayed in a transition state. The later
attempt, after a control-plane restart, found the sandbox `stopped`. Its
`lease.start` took 1.3 s. A transition that ends in `stopped` is a stop.

**Expected behavior**
A sandbox that stays `stopping` for longer than the host's own
graceful-stop budget is forced to stop, then starts. The run does not
fail on the start deadline.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Retain a Daytona sandbox whose graceful stop does not finish (Daytona
reports `stopping`).
2. Resume or realize the lease.
3. Before this change, the call polls until the 300 s deadline and fails
with "is still stopping at its start deadline".

## What Changed

- `packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona/src/plugin.ts`:
`waitOutSandboxTransition` tracks how long the sandbox stays `stopping`.
After `STUCK_STOPPING_FORCE_AFTER_MS` (30 s) it calls
`sandbox.stop(seconds, true)` once, then keeps polling. A refused force
stop keeps the old wait within the same deadline.
- The wait is a `lease.wait_transition` span. The force stop is a
`lease.force_stop` child span.
- `lease-tracing.ts`: the closed `paperclip.sandbox.startup.state` label
also records `starting`, `stopping`, `restoring`, `archiving` and
`resizing`. Before, these were all `other`.
- `server/src/services/plugin-host-services.ts`: the host admits the two
new span names and the new closed state values.
- `doc/observability.md`: documents the new spans and states.

## Verification

- Red/green: with the plugin change stashed, the three new
stuck-`stopping` tests (realize, refused force stop, resume) fail by
hanging to the deadline. With the change they pass. The "settles on its
own" test confirms that no force stop happens for a normal stop.
- `vitest run` in `packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona`: 14
files, 618 tests passed (8 skipped). `tsc --noEmit` passed.
- `server/src/__tests__/plugin-host-services-span.test.ts`: red before
the allowlist change, 25/25 after.
- `pnpm verify` exited 2 (the doc is a global CI input), so CI supplies
the broad coverage.
- Not verified on a live Daytona sandbox. Hosted acceptance needs the
change deployed to staging.

## Risks

- The force stop sends SIGKILL to processes in a sandbox that is already
stopping and is about to start. The disk persists across a stop, so the
retained workspace is kept. A graceful stop that is still running past
30 s is killed. The host's own graceful stop budget is 30 s, so the host
had already given up on it.
- Daytona can refuse a stop while a state change is in progress. Then
the code waits as before, so the result is no worse than today.
- The root cause is inferred from the trace (a transition that ends in
`stopped`). The new state label confirms or refutes it the next time it
happens.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 9b21dcbdda refactor: remove SPEC docs and repoint spec citations (#20565)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Contributors and agents read the docs under `doc/` before they
change code
> - `doc/SPEC.md` and `doc/SPEC-implementation.md` were out of date.
`doc/SPEC-implementation.md` became an append-only log: in 60 days it
got about 1,645 new lines and lost 181, across 140 commits
> - #20557 changed `AGENTS.md` so the code and its tests are the source
of truth, and the specs are only background
> - This pull request removes the two spec docs. It moves only the
sections that live code comments cite into focused docs, and it repoints
all other references
> - The benefit is one less stale document that agents read and append
to

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20557 (merged). This PR is the follow-up that removes the docs. It
is based on `master`, which already contains #20557.

**Issue type**
Outdated content. The docs are out of date and conflict with the code.

**Where is the issue?**
`doc/SPEC.md`, `doc/SPEC-implementation.md`, and the code comments and
docs that cite them.

**What's wrong?**
`doc/SPEC.md` and `doc/SPEC-implementation.md` are out of date, but
agents still read them and append a paragraph with each fix.

**Suggested fix**
Delete both files. Move the sections that code cites into focused docs.
Repoint the references.

## What Changed

- Deleted `doc/SPEC.md` and `doc/SPEC-implementation.md`.
- Moved these spec sections, because live code comments cite them:
- §9.3.1 "Shared default-open issue writes" → new section in
`doc/agent-permission-defaults.md`.
- §9.8.1 "Issue-thread interaction resolver contract" →
`doc/execution-semantics.md`, "Issue-thread interaction resolution".
That section already had most of the contract. I added only the missing
parts: the `supersedeOnUserComment` default, the canonical policy list,
the addressee and cap rules, the rule that surfaces show the server's
effective audience, and the cross-issue budget charge. The short policy
summary at the top of the section now points to the list, so the
definitions occur one time only.
- §9.9 "Task Watchdog Authority Contract" → new "Authority contract"
section in `doc/TASK-WATCHDOG.md`. It holds the allowed and disallowed
mutation lists and the deferred capabilities. The atomic recovery batch,
restoration verification, and interaction rules were already in
`doc/execution-semantics.md` §11, so the new section links there and
does not repeat them. I did not move the "Downstream acceptance
criteria" checklist or the sentence about the CTO and Security sign-off.
These were implementation-time notes; the tests now hold that coverage.
- §9.10 "Company Skill Policy Contract" → new
`doc/company-skill-policy.md`. No focused doc had this contract. I did
not move the "Required regression tests" phase checklist.
- Did not move any other part of the specs.
- Repointed code comments that cited spec sections:
- `packages/shared/src/issue-write-denial.ts` (§9.3) →
`doc/agent-permission-defaults.md`
- `server/src/routes/issues.ts` (§9.9) → `doc/TASK-WATCHDOG.md`,
"Authority contract"
- `server/src/routes/issues.ts` (§9.3, §9.8.1 cross-issue budget) →
`doc/agent-permission-defaults.md`
- `ui/src/lib/interaction-audience.ts` and
`ui/src/components/InteractionGovernancePanel.tsx` (§9.8.1) →
`doc/execution-semantics.md`
- `ui/src/lib/skill-policy-denial.ts`, `ui/src/pages/CompanySkills.tsx`,
`ui/src/pages/CompanySkills.production.tsx`,
`ui/src/pages/SkillStudio.tsx` (§9.10) → `doc/company-skill-policy.md`
- `server/src/services/recovery/ownership-invariant-report.ts` (monitor
deadline wait path) → `doc/execution-semantics.md` §8. That section
already lists the one-shot monitor as a valid wait path.
- Resynced the git blob pin for
`packages/shared/src/issue-write-denial.ts` in
`tests/runner-e2e/source-sdk-public-inputs.json`. The comment edit
changed the file's hash, and the Runner support suite checks that pin. I
used `node tests/runner-e2e/source-sdk-public-inputs.mjs <HEAD>
--write`; only that one pin changed.
- Updated `AGENTS.md` §1 so it does not name the deleted files.
- Removed the links to the deleted files from
`doc/plugins/PLUGIN_SPEC.md`.
- Updated the `doc-maintenance` agent skill
(`.agents/skills/doc-maintenance/`) so it no longer audits or stages
`doc/SPEC.md`.
- Removed or replaced references in `maps/README.md`,
`maps/feature-map/README.md`, `maps/storybook-map/README.md`,
`doc/PRODUCT.md`, `doc/CLIPHUB.md`, `doc/DEPLOYMENT-MODES.md`,
`doc/DEVELOPING.md`, `doc/evals.md`, `doc/spec/agent-runs.md`,
`doc/AGENTCOMPANIES_SPEC_INVENTORY.md`,
`doc/connections/CONNECTOR-PLAYBOOK.md`,
`doc/plugins/ideas-from-opencode.md`, `doc/execution-semantics.md`,
`doc/TASK-WATCHDOG.md`, and `.devin/wiki.json`.
- In `doc/execution-semantics.md`, the "admission is independent of
cleanup and accounting" reference now states the rule inline: only a
hard stop, an explicit pause, or an inactive company refuses admission.
- Kept these references as they are: dated plans in `doc/plans/` and
`docs/plans/`, the dated log
`doc/logs/2026-05-24-cli-api-parity-e2e-log.md`, `releases/`, the
transcript fixture `ui/src/fixtures/runTranscriptFixtures.ts` (it uses
the filename only as sample text), and
`docs/specs/external-task-protocol.md` (it refers to the Symphony
project's own `SPEC.md`).

## Verification

- `git grep -n "SPEC-implementation\|SPEC\.md"` (without `releases/`,
and ignoring `PLUGIN_SPEC.md` citations) finds only the kept references
listed above.
- `grep -rn "§9\.\(3\|8\|9\|10\)" ui/src server/src packages/shared/src`
finds no results.
- `node scripts/check-maps.mjs`: "Maps aligned: 35 areas, 192 capability
IDs".
- `pnpm check:token-gates`: "All gates clean".
- `pnpm exec vitest run --config tests/runner-e2e/vitest.config.ts
tests/runner-e2e/source-sdk-public-type.test.ts
tests/runner-e2e/source-sdk-evidence.test.ts`: 45 passed. These failed
in CI before the pin resync.
- `pnpm verify`: exit 2 ("Broader verification required") because
`AGENTS.md` is a global CI input. Required CI supplies the broad
coverage for this revision.
- All code changes are comments only. No runtime behavior changes. The
title uses `refactor:` because comments in source files changed.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change removes docs and edits comments only.
- A reader can lose context from spec sections that I did not move. The
text stays in git history. The code and its tests are the source of
truth.
- External links to the two deleted files will return 404.

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.

```

- `resource-lifecycle-events.test.ts`,
`plugin-lifecycle-delivery.test.ts` and
`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).

- `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__/agent-task-hierarchy-depth.test.ts
src/__tests__/issue-blocker-attention.test.ts
src/__tests__/issue-list-assignee-filter-routes.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

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
matrix (root, child, bound, native, context issue, context task, context
workspace, checkout, execution run), exactly-once counts, malformed and
uppercase contexts, company isolation, controller leases and lease
vetoes.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` and `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/db check:migrations` pass.
- Benchmark (local SQL measurement, PostgreSQL 18.1, synthetic fixture,
8 workspaces per sample, before and after alternate in each iteration).
The script compares the complete ordered caller results and the complete
`relevant_runs` multisets of the baseline and treatment. They are equal
in every run.

`pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsx
../scripts/benchmark-workspace-activity.ts --baseline-ref=origin/master
--runs-per-workspace=<N>`

| Fixture | Check | Before median (min–max) | After median (min–max) |
Speedup |
  | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 4,800 runs, 330 MB | last activity | 523 ms (460–598) | 12 ms (8–15) |
44x |
| 4,800 runs, 330 MB | eligibility | 452 ms (432–473) | 13 ms (11–15) |
34x |
| 4,800 runs, 330 MB | idle eligibility | 465 ms (442–573) | 12 ms

| 24,000 runs, 1.7 GB | last activity | 2,240 ms (2,214–2,454) | 13 ms

| 24,000 runs, 1.7 GB | eligibility | 2,245 ms (2,097–2,377) | 17 ms
(14–19) | 133x |
| 24,000 runs, 1.7 GB | idle eligibility | 2,196 ms (2,179–2,381) | 15
ms (13–18) | 143x |

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.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, with tool use and code
execution in Claude Code.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 9009fbdedb fix(runner): accept request_human_input payload version forms models send (#20588)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents ask people for decisions with the runner's
`request_human_input` tool, which creates a question or confirmation
card
> - The tool schema required `payload.version` to be the number 1
> - The server ignores the version the model sends and always stores
version 1
> - Some models send `"version": "1"` as a string, so every call failed
with "/payload/version must be equal to constant"
> - This pull request accepts `1` or `"1"`, and lets the model omit the
version
> - The benefit is that the model's natural call creates the card on the
first try, and a turn does not end with no card and no reply

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19405 (adds invocation examples for the same tool; it does not
change validation). Refs #20134 (aligns the same tool's text limits).

**What happened?**
In a chat eval run on master `f4337bb5fb` (OpenCode runner,
`deepseek-v4.1-flash`), the agent called `request_human_input` up to six
times. Each call failed with `Invalid tool input: /payload/version must
be equal to constant`. The agent's reasoning shows it sent `"version":
"1"` and could not produce the number. In one case it then made the card
with `call_api`. In two other cases the turn lost the card. This
happened in `questions-and-approvals.reject-and-revise`,
`goals.align-existing-work` and
`assistant-connections.revoke-personal-grant`.

**Expected behavior**
A version field that the server overwrites must not block the call. The
tool must still reject an unknown version and a questions card without a
question form.

**Steps to reproduce**
Validate `{ interactionKind: "questions", payload: { version: "1",
questionSet: {...} } }` against the live `request_human_input` input
schema. Before this change, validation fails at `/payload/version`.

## What Changed

- `payload.version` in the tool schema accepts `1` or `"1"` and is
optional. Its description says Paperclip stores version 1.
- A questions card no longer requires `payload.version`. It still
requires `questionSet` or `questions`.
- The payload description no longer tells the model to send `version:1`.
- Regenerated the semantic tool contracts, the seeded eval catalog
digest and the protocol manifest with the existing generator.
- Added a regression test: number, string and missing version pass for
live and scenario schemas; version `2` and a payload without questions
fail.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run src/protocol-actions/` in `packages/paperclip-runner`:
red before the fix with the exact eval error (`/payload/version must be
equal to constant`), green after (47 tests).
- Focused runner tests for the tool bridge, semantic tools, mock control
plane, codex semantic results, catalog and semantic tools: 231 passed.
- `node scripts/generate-semantic-contracts.mjs --check`,
`generate-semantic-action-catalog --check`, `generate-protocol-manifest
--check`, `generate-replay-goldens --check`: current.
- `node tests/runner-e2e/source-sdk-public-inputs.mjs <HEAD> --check`:
unchanged.
- Paid chat eval on a temporary branch with this change: see the comment
on this PR.

## Risks

- Low risk. The server already writes `version: 1` into every
interaction payload created by this tool
(`paperclip-runner-tool-authority.ts`), so no stored shape changes.
- Previous-release story: no persisted run, session or launch state
changes. Saved tool receipts keep the input they recorded. A retry with
a different version form under the same idempotency key is a different
input, as before.

## Model Used

- Anthropic Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), agentic coding with
tool use in Claude Code.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 1b7ec13acb perf(native): default remote sandbox runs to a warm, reusable sandbox for measured harnesses (#20048)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents can run in remote sandboxes (Daytona), where each turn needs
the task's workspace and a runner inside the sandbox
> - With a default environment, every remote turn got a brand-new
sandbox: the whole workspace was uploaded again and a new runner
started, even for a follow-up comment
> - In a paperclip-sized workspace that made a follow-up take 30 s to
first token, against 8–10 s with a reusable warm sandbox
> - This pull request makes an agent that never chose a lifecycle run
warm on a sandbox for the measured harnesses (Codex, OpenCode, Claude),
so a follow-up keeps its sandbox, runner and workspace
> - The default applies only where warm can work: a sandbox provider
that keeps reusable leases, and a managed AI account that supports a
warm session. Everywhere else the run is per-turn, exactly as before
> - The benefit is fast remote follow-ups by default, without
re-uploading a large repository every turn

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
On Daytona, with a fresh paperclip clone as the project workspace, a
follow-up comment took 30 s to its first token. The run log showed
`environment: fresh/created` on every follow-up. It spent 13.3 s in
`workspace_sync.transfer`, a full upload into the new sandbox, and 8–9 s
in `runner.session.resume`.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create a Daytona environment with the defaults: lifecycle inherited,
lease reuse off.
2. Run a Codex task in a large repository, then post a follow-up.
3. The follow-up gets a new sandbox, uploads the whole workspace again
and starts a new runner.

**Expected behavior**
A follow-up on the same task reuses the live sandbox, its runner and its
workspace (plan rule 2: no full re-upload per turn).

## What Changed

- **One rule for the default.** `defaultsRemoteSandboxRunToWarm`
(`native-runtime/native-warm-capability.ts`) decides the remote-sandbox
warm default for both the lease (environment view) and the runner
(native session policy), in one vocabulary (runtime backend plus ACPX
agent). It is applied only when no lifecycle was chosen anywhere:
admitted session, environment `runnerLifecycleMode`, or agent
`lifecycleMode`. It holds only when:
  1. the harness is measured (Codex, OpenCode, ACPX Claude);
2. the sandbox provider keeps reusable leases (Daytona, CreateOS and
boxd declare them; E2B, Modal and the built-in `fake` do not); and
3. with a managed AI account, that harness supports a managed warm
session (`supportsManagedNativeWarmSession`: Codex).
- **The harness resolves as the runtime resolves it.**
`resolveWarmProviderSelection` uses
`resolvePaperclipRunnerProviderProfile`, so an omitted `provider` is
Codex and ACPX without an agent is Claude, in both decisions. A config
the runtime would refuse gets no default.
- **Lease side** (`runner-environment-lifecycle.ts`,
`environment-run-orchestrator.ts`): for an eligible run only, the
orchestrator asks the provider before acquisition
(`providerSupportsReusableLeases` in `environment-runtime.ts`: the
acquisition rule, one registry lookup for a plugin provider, no
worker-ready wait). With support, the run-scoped view sets `reuseLease:
true` and forwards the warm idle window to the provider's auto-stop. The
shared environment is never rewritten. Every other run resolves exactly
as on master, without the probe.
- **Runner side** (`native-lifecycle.ts`, `runtime-selection.ts`): the
native policy applies the same rule to the acquired lease
(`reusableLeaseConfigured && effectiveCapabilities.reusableLeases`). If
acquisition downgrades the lease anyway, the run falls back to per-turn;
a default never produces
`runner_warm_environment_requires_reusable_lease`.
- **Idle window.** The remote default uses the window the environment
view forwards to the provider: an inheriting environment's
`runnerIdleTimeoutMs`, then the agent's `idleTimeoutMs`, then 5 minutes.
The sandbox execution target now carries the environment's window
(`runnerIdleTimeoutMs`, an optional field in `adapter-utils`'s execution
target) so the runner and the provider auto-stop agree. An explicit warm
choice and the local default are unchanged.
- Unchanged: explicit agent choices, environments that pin a lifecycle,
plugin-task environments, admitted sessions (`persistedPolicy`), and
local behavior.
- `tests/restart-chaos`: the vCPU budget check counts `--daytona-inherit
--lifecycle default` sandboxes as retained, because they now default to
warm.
- `doc/plans/2026-11-08-large-workspace-speed.md`: the measurements, the
ranked waits, and the gate.

## Verification

- Unit and integration tests, one per rule:
- Rule 1 (provider gate): `native-lifecycle.test.ts` (ephemeral lease →
per-turn), `runner-environment-lifecycle.test.ts` (no reusable leases →
environment unchanged, no warm window),
`environment-runtime-reusable-lease-probe.test.ts` (`fake`, an
undeclared plugin, a declared plugin whose worker does not verify the
reuse methods, and a plugin without a running worker read false),
`runtime-selection.test.ts` ("defaults an agent without a lifecycle on
...": reusable → warm/keep_running; reuse configured on an unsupported
provider → per_turn/destroy_after_turn; ephemeral → per_turn),
`environment-run-orchestrator.test.ts` (probe result decides
`reuseLease` and the forwarded window).
- Rule 2 (explicit configuration wins): explicit per-turn agent, pinned
environment, admitted session, configured `idleTimeoutMs`, managed
Claude per-turn, managed Codex warm; the orchestrator does not probe
when a lifecycle is explicit.
- Rule 3 (omitted provider): `{}` resolves to Codex in the environment
view; `runtime-selection.test.ts` "agrees with the environment view's
lease for ..." feeds the environment view's lease into selection for
Codex, a provider-less Codex agent, OpenCode, ACPX Claude, ACPX without
an agent, and Copilot (per-turn), and checks both decisions agree. A
plugin-task target stays out of the default.
- The two suites that failed on the previous head
(`runtime-selection.test.ts`,
`workspace-recovery-preparation-dispatch.test.ts`) pass locally.
Locally, 6 connector-skill cases in `runtime-selection.test.ts` fail
with `ENOENT .claude/skills/slack/SKILL.md` because this checkout is a
nested worktree; they do not touch this change and pass in CI.
- End-to-end check of this default on Daytona (before the gate was
added; Daytona keeps reusable leases, so the gate does not change this
path): a user-default environment (lifecycle inherited, lease reuse
unset, `--daytona-inherit`), a fresh paperclip clone, built from the
image's source revision with this change (branch measure/remote-warm).

  | | Before (per-turn sandbox) | After (this change) |
  |---|---|---|
  | Follow-up, Codex | 30.4 s | 7.6 s |
  | Follow-up, Claude | about 30 s | 11.0 s |
  | First follow-up after an idle K1, Codex | 45.9 s | 20.3 s |
  | First follow-up after an idle K1, Claude | 38.3 s | 18.3 s |

The run-log reuse records show the follow-ups reusing the workspace,
environment, runner and provider session, with no
`workspace_sync.transfer`. First turns still upload the workspace once
(14.8 s and 26.1 s). Every sandbox was cleaned up.
- Daytona restart chaos wave (K1/K2/K4 with a mid-run comment,
inheriting environment, agents with no lifecycle, runner image built
from this branch): wave `w-20261110T171438-s20048`, seed 20048, on
b7f6243d60 with image `paperclip-daytona-runner@sha256:76a33275…6fe29`
(built from this branch by the `image_only` runner workflow; runner
content id `ed503454…a479` matches every later commit here, which change
only server, adapter-utils types and tests). `--daytona-inherit
--lifecycle default --adapters codex,claude --workloads A1,C1 --triggers
time,comment --faults K1,K2,K4 --tasks 6 --concurrency 3`.
- **6/6 tasks pass** (R1–R6 and T), all 6 crossed a restart; cells:
Codex A1 K2, Codex A1 K4, Claude A1 K4, Claude C1 K1, Claude C1 K4,
Codex C1 K2 at the mid-run comment. **No task needed Retry** (R3 n/a on
every task; one Claude task recovered automatically from
`process_lost`). No open signatures, 0 speed breaches.
- The default applied: the R6 sweep found 6 retained reusable leases
(one per task, Daytona keeps them) and no orphan or leaked sandbox; the
environment was deleted cleanly.
- Timings (Daytona, first turns, n=3 each): TTFT p50 Codex 21.9 s,
Claude 31.0 s. Restart recovery p50/p95: Codex 10.5 s / 29.6 s (n=3),
Claude 8.8 s / 23.9 s (n=2). Warm follow-up TTFT has no clean sample in
this wave (both follow-ups were crossed by a fault), so the follow-up
comparison above (30.4 s → 7.6 s Codex, ~30 s → 11.0 s Claude) remains
the speed evidence; no separate per-turn chaos wave was run.
- An earlier attempt, `w-20261110T170357-s20048`, never started tasks:
the first sandbox from the new image stayed `creating` past the
harness's 300 s Codex qualification bound (Daytona building the new
snapshot). It left one sandbox that the harness reported after deleting
the environment; the rerun on the cached snapshot is the wave above.
- The idle-window fix (9a74116082) landed after the wave; it changes
only runs whose inheriting environment sets `runnerIdleTimeoutMs`, which
this wave's environment does not.

## Previous-release story

No persisted state changes shape. A session admitted per-turn before
this change keeps its saved policy (`persistedPolicy` wins) until a new
session starts. A run in flight at the cutover keeps its admitted
lifecycle for recovery (`admittedLifecycleMode` wins in the environment
view).

## Cost and opt-out

- **Cost:** after a turn, the sandbox and its warm runner stay up for
the warm idle window (the environment's `runnerIdleTimeoutMs`, else the
agent's `idleTimeoutMs`, else 5 minutes). Then the controller suspends
the runner, and the provider auto-stop follows the same window. One idle
window per active task.
- **Opt-out:** set the agent's lifecycle to "Turn by turn"
(`lifecycleMode: per_turn`), or set the environment's
`runnerLifecycleMode` to `per_turn`. Either wins over this default.

## Reuse scope, restart and saved work

- **One lineage per sandbox.** The Daytona plugin keys a reusable lease
by the agent plus the execution workspace (or issue). Another task never
gets a sandbox holding a different task's files, and subtasks still get
fresh workspaces from the project base, so they get their own sandbox.
The workspace is adopted only after its stamp matches the host's.
- **After a restart,** a warm sandbox is reattached or replaced through
the existing warm recovery and owner fencing. A sandbox with a live
owner is never claimed twice. The Daytona chaos wave above checks this.
- **No lost work.** Each turn's workspace copyback
(`workspace_finalize`) runs at the end of the turn, before any idle
suspend, as for per-turn runs.

## Risks

- **Cost:** an idle sandbox stays up for the warm idle window (5
minutes) after a turn, then suspends. Only on providers with reusable
leases.
- **Probe cost:** one plugin-registry lookup before acquisition, only
for runs the default can apply to. No wait for a worker: a provider
whose worker is not running yet reads as unsupported, so that run is
per-turn.
- **Known gap (pre-existing, not widened):** with an explicit agent warm
choice on an inheriting environment that sets `runnerIdleTimeoutMs`, the
provider gets the environment's window while the host uses the agent's,
as on master.
- **Restart behavior on warm remote sandboxes** uses the existing warm
recovery paths. The Daytona chaos wave above checks K1, K2 and K4.
- Sessions admitted per-turn before this change stay per-turn until a
new session starts.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 98ce93dd4e Choose project storage from compatible environments (#20587)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Projects supply repository files to agent runs through core staging
or a storage plugin.
> - A storage plugin's default claim silently attached new projects even
when their agents used a different environment.
> - An environment name or driver type does not establish shared storage
access. The existing binding and task-driver contracts do.
> - This pull request groups creation choices by that contract and
selects storage from the creator's effective environment.
> - The benefit is a visible, validated choice and a clear error before
an incompatible managed workspace operation.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Fixes #20459.

Related: #20156 covers a separate provider-failure diagnostic. The PR
search found no other fix for #20459. ROADMAP.md has no duplicate
project-creation change.

## What Changed

- Show **Available in** when configured environments require different
project storage. Each option names the environments that can use the
same storage owner. Hide the selector when all choices are compatible.
- Derive compatibility from repository staging and managed binding
ownership. Local, SSH, and sandbox environments use core staging.
Managed storage requires a registered task driver from the same
installed storage plugin. Separate storage plugins remain incompatible.
Unknown plugin contracts and the fake sandbox are excluded.
- Follow the creating agent's environment, or the person's primary
agent, then the instance default and local fallback. Apply managed-only
and forced Kubernetes policy. The product has no separate user or
company environment-default field today.
- Add a company-authorized discovery endpoint and an optional creation
`environmentId`. Validate the choice again on save. Store the storage
owner without overriding agent run environments. Preserve explicit API
storage choices and existing project ownership.
- Keep the hidden repository-free private-task project independent of
environment availability. Submit the observed storage owner as
`expectedStorageProviderPluginId` so a changed contract fails at save
without setting a workspace policy. Instance task-isolation defaults
stay inherited.
- Reject an incompatible managed workspace before a provider operation.
Name the storage and selected environment in the error. Add regression
tests, API documentation, creation-story fixtures, and minimal
corrections to obsolete map text.

## Verification

- **102 tests passed across 7 files:** project environment integration,
installed storage policy, repository persistence, project environment
routes, project creation telemetry routes, OpenAPI, and
NewProjectDialog. Run with `node node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run
server/src/__tests__/project-environments.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/project-workspace-provider.integration.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/project-repositories-persistence.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/project-routes-env.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/project-goal-telemetry-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/openapi-routes.test.ts
ui/src/components/NewProjectDialog.test.tsx --silent`.
- The review fixes cover both archived-default private-task cases and
changed-storage rejection. With both instance isolation flags enabled, a
new core repository project keeps a null policy and resolves to an
isolated Git worktree. The complete affected set passes all 102 tests.
- The CI query-error policy failure was fixed by using the shared query
view. The form and shared query-view suites pass **24 tests**, including
cached choices during a transient refetch failure. `node
scripts/check-query-error-rendering.mjs --enforce --summary` reports
zero findings.
- CI exposed stale SDK source hashes and heartbeat fixtures that paired
plugin storage with Local. Refreshed exactly four shared-source hashes
with the maintained generator (runtime pins unchanged). All **53 SDK
privacy/source-proof tests**, including real built SDK output, pass. All
**7 corrected managed-storage heartbeat scenarios** pass; the fixtures
declare the owning plugin's task environment and substitute transport at
the existing execution seam.
- Shared and UI TypeScript checks pass. The UI production build passes.
`pnpm check:token-gates`, `node scripts/check-maps.mjs`, `node
scripts/check-module-boundaries.mjs`, and diff checks pass.
- Tested UI states: compatible choices, incompatible groups, default
within a group, manual override, create failure, loading, discovery
failure and retry, and an unavailable default. Tests use the production
form and existing design tokens.
- The integration tests use real isolated PostgreSQL on macOS arm64 with
Node 26.12.0. They cover user/agent defaults, storage persistence,
policy restrictions, company and authentication denials, and rejection
before a provider call. Discovery uses saved configuration and makes no
worker or provider requests.
- Local verification limits: `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` stop
in unchanged adapter-utils code because the installed ACPX types lack
`inheritProcessEnv`. A direct server check also finds an unchanged AI
SDK type-version mismatch. The existing heartbeat test `inherits the
instance default environment across companies while preserving explicit
agent overrides` times out at line 518 on both this change and
unmodified master with the same dependencies. The full `pnpm test:run`
attempt passed all six chat shards (1,948 tests), then the Git workspace
expiration suite reported 14 failures. I stopped that broad run. Two
sampled failures reproduce on unchanged master with the same
`unknown_worktree_git_files` refusal; the other expiration failures were
not independently compared. A later broad workspace-preparation run also
hit workspace validation failures and was stopped; the seven corrected
fixture scenarios pass independently. These limits do not establish a
full local suite pass. Hosted CI remains required.
- Initial missing-package and loopback-denial failures were resolved by
repairing isolated dependency links, building the SDK, and running
database tests with loopback access. No deployed or live-provider
execution is claimed.

## Risks

- Creation defaults now follow the effective environment. A plugin's
`defaultForProjects` claim alone no longer selects storage. This is the
intended behavior change.
- Compatibility covers repository project storage. It does not guarantee
arbitrary host paths, retained-workspace moves, adapter/image support,
credentials, or worker readiness. Matching provider configs cannot prove
a cross-plugin storage contract.
- A person's primary agent supplies the personal default because there
is no separate personal environment setting. An unavailable configured
default requires a valid explicit choice or a configuration repair.
- No migration runs. Existing projects keep their storage owner. This
change does not detach existing managed data or provide a storage
migration.
- Full local verification has the limits listed above. CI and standard
Greptile review are pending.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, tool use, and code
execution. The exact serving snapshot and context-window size were not
exposed in this session.

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 be0d100a8b fix(native): settle cleanup-gate refusals after a completed turn without a dead-end Retry (#20572)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs execute a provider turn, then close the provider session
and prove it stopped
> - When close cannot prove that the old runner, provider and tools
stopped, the runner holds a cleanup gate
(`native_session_cleanup_quarantined`) that refuses the next session on
that task
> - A run finished its provider turn and saved its work. A server
restart had left one tool callback without a saved result, so close
could not prove the drain, and the gate refused the run's own same-run
recovery 30 seconds later
> - The task then showed "Couldn't finish this attempt" with a Retry
button, but the retry route refuses this error code with 409. The saved
error text told an operator to act
> - This pull request makes the task projection, the execution blocker,
the executor and the retry route agree, and replaces the operator text
with plain wording
> - The benefit is that finished work no longer looks like a failed
attempt, and the UI never offers a Retry that the server refuses

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A remote native run completed its provider turn and saved its comments
and documents. A server restart during the turn left one semantic tool
callback without a saved result. Session close then reported
`native_session_settlement_incomplete` (runner suspended, provider drain
unproven), and the runner kept an operator-required cleanup gate. The
same-run disposition recovery was refused at admission, and the run
ended `failed` with `native_session_cleanup_quarantined`.

**Expected behavior**
The task should show its real state (here, waiting on a child task). It
should not show a failure banner or a Retry that the server refuses. No
text should ask an administrator to act.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a remote native run and restart the server while a tool
callback runs.
2. Let the resumed turn complete without a semantic result, so a
same-run recovery is scheduled.
3. Observe the refusal at admission, the "Couldn't finish this attempt"
banner, and a Retry that returns 409.

**Paperclip version or commit**
master at d0057ee384 (remote native runner, Daytona sandbox).

## What Changed

- Add `server/src/services/native-runtime/completed-turn-cleanup.ts`. It
holds one predicate for "a cleanup-gate refusal after this run's own
provider turn completed" and the plain user wording. It reads only the
saved `errorCode` and `runnerProfileJson.sessionCheckpoint`.
- `task-interruption-presentation.ts`: the projection never sets
`canRetry: true` for a cleanup-quarantined run, which matches
`routes/agents.ts` and `canRetryStoppedRun`. A quarantine after a
completed turn projects as `resolved` only while the task waits on
unresolved blocker tasks, so the task shows that wait. Without such a
wait, the missing task disposition stays visible. Other quarantined runs
show a plain settling message without Retry. The list query computes the
completed-turn fact in SQL.
- `native-session-executor.ts`: the refusal keeps its permanent, named
code, its hold and its ownership, and does not replay provider work. The
next action uses plain wording, and names the saved work after a
completed turn.
- `execution-blocker.ts`: show plain wording for this code instead of
the stored error text, also for rows that earlier releases saved.
- Runner error message and retry-route conflict message use plain
wording.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: document how the cleanup gate settles
and how the task shows it.

## Verification

- Red before the fix, green after:
- `server/src/services/task-interruption-presentation.test.ts` "native
cleanup quarantine presentation" (2 failed before: `canRetry: true`,
`state: failed`).
- `server/src/__tests__/task-interruption-query.test.ts` "reads a
quarantine saved after a completed turn as settled work" (real Postgres,
row in the previous release's saved shape; before: `state: failed,
canRetry: true`).
- `server/src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts`
"settles a cleanup refusal after a completed turn" (before: operator
next action and board ownership).
- `server/src/services/explicit-native-continuation.test.ts` "shows
plain wording for a cleanup refusal saved with the earlier operator
text" (before: stored operator text).
- The four files pass in full: 1851 tests.
- `tsc --noEmit` passes for `server` and `packages/paperclip-runner`.
- `pnpm verify` returns exit 2 (a global doc input changed), so required
CI supplies the broad coverage.
- No UI files changed, so token gates and UI tests do not apply.

## Risks

- Previous-release story: no persisted shape changes. Runs that earlier
releases quarantined carry forward. The new rules read existing fields,
so these runs show the new projection without a migration.
- The code stays permanent and named. No automatic provider replay is
added.
- A quarantine whose turn did not complete keeps its board-owned
recovery. Only its text and its Retry visibility change.
- The runner still keeps the in-process cleanup gate until environment
release proves the stop. Existing lease termination receipts
(`acknowledgeRemoteStop`) clear it. This PR does not change the runner
drain rule for a callback that a restart orphaned. That is a separate
follow-up.

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.

## Model Used

- Claude (Anthropic), in Claude Code with tool use.
- `claude-fable-5-2`.

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 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.

DottaandPaperclip ce1ee9e89f fix: stop prompts from encouraging subtasks (#20362)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents read runtime prompts, tool help, skills, and role
instructions.
> - Several of these texts tell agents to create child tasks as a normal
next step.
> - One accepted-plan prompt even forbids work on the current task.
> - Task parentage is useful, but it does not need a prompt that
encourages task creation.
> - This pull request removes those prompts and keeps the task APIs
available.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #10642. This change adjusts prompt wording; it does not add
delegation-cycle guards.

**Current behavior**
Prompts tell agents to create children after plan approval, use children
for long work, and create a task just to pass context. Onboarding
requires a child even for a single request.

**Proposed behavior**
Continue work on the current task. Keep explicit assignments, optional
task creation, parentage, dependencies, and approval gates. Use the
separate-task recipes when the user requests that structure or when
continuing existing work.

**Reason and benefit**
Reduce needless task trees without removing subtask support. Keep the
patch limited to wording, existing test expectations, and generated
catalog data.

## What Changed

- Align accepted-plan prompts and remove direct child-creation advice
from runtime and error text.
- Make task tool descriptions neutral. Keep their fields, defaults, and
handlers.
- Update the main skill, onboarding, CEO instructions, company
templates, specialist workflows, and matching guides.
- Keep historical release snapshots intact. Refresh the explicitly
seeded schema fixture's catalog digest; the server still verifies
historical release snapshot hashes.
- Refresh the affected generated catalogs, capability inventory,
semantic contracts, and fixture manifest.

## Verification

- Final tested head: `c6e304d0c105cdbfbe0b2ab0a233307fcd91a04b`.
- All 66 check runs are complete: 60 pass, one is neutral, and five are
skipped by CI conditions. Snyk also passes. No checks fail or remain
pending.
- [PR
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42846226554)
passes typecheck, build, server/general tests, all eight E2E shards,
Runner support, Runner Rust, and the aggregate verify gate.
[Windows](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42846226546)
and [Docker
Runner](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42846226108)
also pass.
-
[Greptile](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/20362#issuecomment-6751419835)
and [Paperclip
review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/20362#issuecomment-6751454010)
give this exact head 5/5. All six inline threads are resolved. Neither
current summary has findings.
- Merged master `bf0220d34a156c81853755c3d1365ddc527037de`. Resolved
three generated-file conflicts with the canonical generators.
- Local verification passes: 473 focused prompt, continuation, UI,
catalog, runtime and native-execution tests; Runner TypeScript build;
generated metadata; UI token gates; and diff checks.
- The prior head `c22018cb0f` failed three SDK evidence tests because
two source hashes were stale. Reproduced all three failures locally. The
existing generator refreshed only the hashes for the denial-copy file
and its test. All 53 affected evidence/source-pin tests then passed,
including private-value rejection. No scanner logic, assertions, or
runtime dependency pins changed. Current CI confirms the support suite
passes.
- A prior commit failed the Rust process reaping test. Its cause remains
unproven. No Rust code or assertions changed. Later Rust runs pass; this
does not establish the cause of the earlier failure.
- Local preflight built shared/plugin SDK packages, then stopped because
`cargo` is absent. Current-head CI supplies Rust and full build
coverage. `pnpm verify --explain` selects broad required CI; full local
suites were not repeated.

## Risks

- Wording changes guide the model; they do not enforce a ban on
subtasks.
- Existing installed skill versions and saved custom instructions need
their normal refresh process. This PR does not migrate company
configuration.
- Existing approved task assignments and approval gates remain in
effect.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-6, through Codex, with reasoning, tool use, and code
execution. The exact routed model ID and context-window size were not
exposed in this session.

79e28dc0d0 fix(runner): record pending calls at sidecar shutdown (#20272)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The ACPX sidecar carries task tools between a provider and its
controller.
> - A closed controller pipe rejects all pending tools with `sidecar
stdin closed`.
> - Current logs do not record the first shutdown trigger or the pending
calls at that point.
> - The sampled runs record a server SIGTERM before the 300-second tool
idle timeouts and later pipe failures. The exact pipe-close cause
remains unresolved.
> - This pull request adds one bounded shutdown record before cleanup
removes the evidence.
> - Operators can use it to compare controller shutdown with pending
tool calls.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Several task document reads failed together with `sidecar stdin closed`.
In two sampled staging traces, earlier task tools reached a 300-second
idle timeout. The sidecar source maps the closure error to pending-call
rejection during shutdown. It does not record the trigger or the pending
call population.

Pattern: [Task reads lose their tool
connection](https://www.braintrust.dev/app/Paperclip/p/Paperclip%20Staging/patterns/5544e6f3-9e33-4661-95c3-5849c9a8f2b6).

**Expected behavior**

Record the local shutdown reason and a bounded snapshot of pending calls
before cleanup removes them. Keep tool cancellation and authorization
unchanged.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start the sidecar with pending task calls.
2. Close controller stdin, or send SIGTERM or SIGINT.
3. Inspect the sidecar event stream and stderr.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Baseline: `33a23e024697552a4a639e49957a3443c75a5bd5`.

### Hypothesis and thesis for a fix

The provisional hypothesis is that controller teardown causes the batch
failures after an earlier stall. The source proves how EOF rejects
pending tools. The traces establish ordering. They do not prove why the
controller closed stdin or why the earlier calls stalled. Run logs now
confirm an earlier server shutdown in both examples. One later recovery
could not find the provider; the other later ended at a durable receipt
limit. The first failed settlement and exact pipe-close trigger remain
unresolved. The later example already used a provider revision
containing #19365 and #19290, so those earlier fixes do not alone
explain all occurrences.

This is a **diagnostic-only change**. The sidecar owns the local
shutdown signal and its pending waiters. Record that state once at the
first shutdown request. Do not add retries or change deadlines without
evidence. This supports each provider that uses this sidecar. It
preserves company/task/run authority, approval checks, tool admission
and cleanup ownership. It does not resolve or claim recovery of the
original read stalls.

## What Changed

- Emit `sidecar_shutdown_requested` through the existing diagnostic
stream and stderr before shutdown can remove waiters.
- Record pending tool, input, permission and completion-normalization
counts. Include at most 16 oldest tool calls with elapsed time and a
SHA-256 call ID. Exclude arguments, results, operation names and raw
call IDs.
- Add real sidecar process tests for EOF and both shutdown signals.
Check successful resolution, cancelled calls, pending-call rejection,
provider cleanup and sidecar exit with code 0 and no signal before
fallback cleanup.
- Document the record and its limits. Saved session formats and
previous-release behavior stay unchanged.

## Verification

- Candidate: `85a929eef87d5f775bbed9f2c98409432c86c702`. The baseline
replay uses an isolated detached checkout at the baseline SHA with the
exact candidate regression file.
- Baseline red: the three process regressions failed because the
expected shutdown record was absent. The sidecar initialized, handled
calls and shut down before each assertion.
- Unchanged process regressions pass with the implementation. The
focused sidecar and snapshot suites passed: 117 tests, one unrelated
macOS candidate-admission test skipped on Linux x64.
- `cd packages/paperclip-runner && pnpm exec vitest run
src/cli/acpx-runtime-sidecar.test.ts
src/cli/acpx-sidecar-shutdown.test.ts`
- `cd packages/paperclip-runner && node --test
test/acpx-sidecar-contract.test.mjs`: 16 passed.
- `cd packages/paperclip-runner && pnpm exec tsc -p tsconfig.json
--noEmit`: passed after building the local eval-kernel dependency.
- `git diff --check`: passed.
- These tests use the real sidecar pipe and process boundary with a
controlled provider host. Independent outcome and cleanup files prove
rejection and process cleanup. They do not exercise a live authenticated
Claude/staging run or prove deployed recovery.
- The local preflight could not build Rust because this host has no
Cargo. CI must supply the applicable Rust/build checks. At head
`85a929eef87d5f775bbed9f2c98409432c86c702`, all 61 check runs are
complete: 58 passed and three conditional jobs skipped. The legacy Snyk
status passed. Greptile is 5/5 with both threads resolved. [CI
result](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42630335496).

## Risks

- The controller can stop reading before it receives the diagnostic
frame. Stderr is an additional path, not a delivery guarantee.
- EOF records a local pipe closure. It cannot identify the upstream
controller cause by itself.
- Hashed IDs require offline hashing of the existing tool-call journal
for correlation. At most 16 samples are retained; counts include the
full pending population.
- No persistent state, retry, cancellation or authorization contract
changes.

## Model Used

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

faae6b919f fix(runner): explain task scope on missing tool inputs (#19774)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents read saved task documents through native tools.
> - Active-task tools use the task bound to the run. Other task tools
require a task UUID.
> - Agents sometimes call the second set with only a document key.
> - The validator rejects the call, but gives no instruction about the
active-task tool.
> - This pull request adds scope instructions to the tool schemas and
returns them for missing required fields.
> - Agents can correct a rejected call. Task selection and permission
checks stay in place.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Two observed document reads sent only `{"key":"sentry-case"}` to
`read_task_document`. Each returned `Invalid tool input: / must have
required property 'taskId'`. Each later retry with a task UUID returned
without an error.

Pattern: [Task reads fail when agents omit
taskId](https://www.braintrust.dev/app/Paperclip/p/Paperclip%20Staging/patterns/703d8c29-6a40-4aa2-b2c6-e2c5c36b5657).
Related PR: #18824 changed document key validation. It does not address
task scope.

**Expected behavior**

The tool contract must state which task it reads. A missing-field error
must include the schema owner's recovery instructions. A retry must
still pass validation and task permission checks.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Call `read_task_document` through the MCP bridge with only a document
key.
2. Inspect the error sent to the caller.
3. Retry with an authorized task UUID. Confirm the returned document
belongs to that task.

### Hypothesis and thesis for a fix

Hypothesis: generic tool descriptions contribute to confusion between
active-task and explicit-task tools. An agent can also ignore a correct
schema. These tests do not measure the rate of model mistakes.

Thesis: Paperclip owns task scope instructions. Its five explicit-task
tools now describe the required UUID and the active-task alternative.
The two MCP transports return direct missing-property descriptions from
the admitted schema. The transports do not infer task IDs or apply
Paperclip task policy.

Proof: the same HTTP MCP regression fails on baseline
`f673bd3cb5b5b65ec51781e37355e168c3fe8ae4` and passes with the fix. It
still rejects before handler dispatch. An explicit retry reaches the
requested task. An isolated real API and PostgreSQL test checks the
saved revision, active-task selection, malformed UUIDs, and
cross-company denial through both transports.

## What Changed

- Add UUID and active-task guidance to `get_task`, `comment_on_task`,
and the three explicit-task document tools.
- Return bounded, distinct descriptions for up to three direct missing
required fields. Keep ordinary validation errors unchanged.
- Share this formatter between the Runner and OpenCode MCP bridges.
- Add transport regressions, real route and database checks, and tool
documentation.

## Verification

- Baseline red: both transport regressions return only the
required-property error and fail the recovery instruction assertion.
- Candidate green: 58 Runner and OpenCode transport and error formatter
tests pass on Linux with Node 24.22.2.
- Final-head server verification passed all 115 tests: 113 document-key
checks and two real API integration cases.
- The two local integration cases use real MCP HTTP, agent authority,
API routes, and disposable PostgreSQL. They read a selected other task
and its saved revision, read the active task separately, reject missing
IDs for all five tools, reject malformed UUIDs, and return 404 for a
foreign company task.
- Runner TypeScript typecheck and build pass.
- The full server typecheck passed on head
`03a37e9e50896416cfd45be33bf6dbe3e13169df` with
`PAPERCLIP_TYPECHECK_LOW_MEMORY=1 node scripts/typecheck-layers.mjs`.
The first run ended without a compiler diagnostic. Final-head CI passes
and Greptile is 5/5.
- Full preflight stops because cargo is absent. Rust checks were not run
locally.
- One existing delayed-body fetch test failed with a Node 25 fetch
runtime error. All transport tests pass on Node 24. The first
integration attempt used the wrong fixture return shape; the test was
corrected before the passing run.
- CI follow-up: the Runner test program reported four TS18046 errors
because `Response.json()` returns `unknown` under CI typings. Both tests
now declare the response type. `pnpm exec tsc -p tsconfig.test.json
--noEmit` passes, and both transport suites pass again (56 tests). Final
head `ffccebca19fe9e21a097829adc020679ffa7d86c` passes CI and Greptile
5/5.
- Review follow-up: the foreign task now has a saved document with a
distinct body. Both integration cases passed again after this test-only
change. The read must return 404 and must not return that body.
Current-head CI passes and Greptile is 5/5.
- Final CI:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42352822739 . All
required jobs passed for `ffccebca19fe9e21a097829adc020679ffa7d86c`.
Greptile is 5/5 with no unresolved review thread.
- Real local API behavior is verified. External model behavior and
deployed recovery are not verified. No merge or deployment is included.

## Risks

- Missing-field errors now contain schema descriptions. The text is
limited to direct properties in the admitted schema, at most three
distinct descriptions and 1,000 characters each.
- Nested schemas and references do not get recovery text. Their
validation errors remain intact.
- Clearer instructions can help callers recover. They do not guarantee
that a model will choose the correct tool.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-6 via Codex, with tool use and code execution. The exact
deployment model ID and context window are not exposed to this session.

f4337bb5fb test(evals): land the chat catalog eval harness on master (#19614)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The chat-feature evals measure whether agents complete real chat
requests through the product
> - The chat catalog eval harness and its repairs live on the
`chat-eval/master-candidate` branch, not on master
> - Today's work made 139 of 242 chat evals pass in verified single-case
live runs. Each product fix landed on master as its own pull request
> - The eval-side changes (setups, graders, fault seams, evidence
capture) still exist only on the candidate
> - This pull request lands the harness on master. Master stays the
source of truth for product behavior
> - The benefit is one tree: evals run against master commits, and
product fixes reach the evals as soon as they merge

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19441, Refs #19599, Refs #20270, Refs #20334, Refs #20342, Refs
#20344, Refs #20354, Refs #20360, Refs #20373, Refs #20382, Refs #20409

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The chat catalog eval harness and the product it evaluates live on a
long-running branch outside master. Eval fixes do not reach master, so
master-based eval runs use old setups and graders.

**Subsystem affected**
`tests/runner-e2e` chat catalog harness, plus a small set of product
changes that exist only on the candidate.

**Proposed change**
Land the harness on master. Every product fix from this eval work
already merged to master as its own pull request. Conflicts keep
master's product behavior.

## What Changed

- Most of the diff (808 of 851 files) is under `tests/runner-e2e/`:
chat-catalog domains, scenarios, descriptors, the TestOps manifest,
private evidence tooling, and their tests.
- Graders now check saved state, setup literals and rendered or clicked
links. Many keyword and regex checks on free-form replies are removed.
Each changed grader has a bumped `oracleVersion` and calibration tests
(a valid reply, a reworded valid reply, and broken variants that must
fail).
- The shared link helper `hasLink` no longer treats a list link (for
example `/COM/issues?view=mine`) as a link to every task without a URL
key.
- Setup fixes build real state through supported product routes: routine
history, agent grants through the board grant route, budget holds with a
real cap, and a storage-layer archive fault for
`inbox-search.archive-partial-failure`.
- Browser boundary journeys (sign-in, chat-disabled, onboarding) now
write the standard pass evidence files.
- Retargeted cases, approved by the maintainer:
`agent-chat.chat-disabled` (Conference Room gate),
`agents.restore-instructions` (no saved instruction history),
`access.manage-membership` (member permission edits stay board-only).
- The private evidence trusted files (`manual-private-handoff.ts`,
`manual-private-retention.ts`, `manual-private-report-assets.ts`) are
byte-identical to master.
- Product files outside `tests/` (43 files, +1,328 −49) carry
candidate-only changes that master does not yet have. Most are tests.
The main code changes are in `request-human-input.ts`,
`heartbeat-run-summary.ts`, `native-completion-feedback.ts`,
`native-run-finalizer.ts`, `openapi.ts`, `secrets.ts` and
`IssueChatLongThreadPerf.tsx`.

## Verification

- `pnpm vitest run chat-catalog-domains chat-catalog-contract.test.ts
chat-catalog-consistency.test.ts unit-launcher.test.mjs
--testTimeout=180000` in `tests/runner-e2e`: 269 files pass, 3,550 tests
pass.
- `node --test chat-full-catalog-testops-manifest.test.mjs`: 10 pass.
- `node tests/runner-e2e/source-sdk-public-inputs.mjs <HEAD> --check`:
no change.
- `tsc` for `server` and `tests/runner-e2e`: clean.
- Live single-case verification: 139 of 242 cases passed on paid runs,
and a person read the saved evidence for each. These are single-case
runs, not one full-cohort run.

## Risks

- Large diff. Most of it is test-only, but the 43 non-test files change
product code paths. Review those files first.
- Some graders are now less strict on reply wording. A person must read
replies for meaning on those cases.
- 42 cases need disposable outside accounts (Notion, Slack, GitHub,
Daytona and others) and stay blocked. `access.invite-teammate` stays
failing until local agent isolation lands, because the runner's durable
state keeps a live invite token.
- The paid workflow compares the trusted private-evidence files with
master. They are unchanged, so this risk is low.

## Model Used

Anthropic Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), with tool use and code
execution, in Claude Code. Subagents used the same model.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 15a734d068 fix(heartbeat): show a storage outage wait as live status, then record it once (#20460)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - In cloud mode a run reads and writes file storage on its critical
path: it starts its run log (`s3_segments`), restores its saved
workspace, and saves it again
> - Since #20299 a run waits out a storage outage there for up to 5
minutes instead of failing
> - That wait was silent. The board showed "running" with no sign of
life, so a storage wait looked like a dead run (restart-chaos R5
`silent_dead_run`)
> - The first version of this PR wrote a run event on every wait. That
writes the run row (`next_event_seq`, `updated_at`) while the run-log
claim is still in progress, and it covered only the run-log begin
> - This PR shows the wait as live run status instead, writes nothing
during the wait, and records one lifecycle event when the wait ends. It
covers every critical-path wait in the run's storage scope
> - The benefit is that a storage outage shows on the board as waiting,
the run's history keeps one honest line about it, and the claim path is
left alone

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20299 (wait out a store outage on a run's critical path).

**What happened?**
- `w-20261110T043533-s11936` (Daytona R1, ST1 194 s, K2): run `d49f58d8`
waited 186 s in `heartbeat.prepare.run_output` with no event. The grader
failed it as `R5:silent_dead_run`.
- `w-20261110T105903-s11936`: the restore download
(`storage.snapshot.download`) waited 182 s with no sign of life.

**Expected:** the board shows the run waiting for file storage, and
nothing about the notice can disturb run-log ownership.

**On the failed `run_output` seen on builds of the first version**
(`w-20261110T101517-s11936` t01 run `9d39550a`,
`w-20261110T081647-s11936` t02 run `9da10424`): the evidence points to
an expired restart lease, not to the notice's row writes. Neither the
writer-authority check (`run-log-authority.ts`) nor the journal claim
compares `next_event_seq` or `updated_at`. A remote
`bootstrap_incomplete` restart claim gets a 60 s lease
(`REMOTE_CONTROLLER_LEASE_MS`), and preparation renews it only for
`reattach_remote_runner` claims. In t01 the claim was at 10:19:55, the
outage ended at 10:22:18.15, and `run_output` failed at 10:22:18.17, on
the first authority check after the store came back. That fix ships
separately as its own PR.

## What Changed

- `storage/storage-unavailable.ts`:
- The run's storage scope can carry a wait observer
(`reportStorageOutageWaitsTo`).
- `retryThroughStorageOutage` tells it about each backoff (`waiting`).
The operation that owns the wait reports one `ended` (`recovered` true
or false), so nested waits do not double-report.
  - `storageOutageWaitFor(purpose, work)` names the step.
- An observer that throws never changes the wait.
`endStorageOutageWaitOn` keeps the observer.
- `heartbeat/storage-wait-notice.ts` (new):
- Each wait sets live runtime status (phase `waiting_for_storage`,
"Waiting for file storage before starting the run log (45s so far)") and
publishes `heartbeat.run.progress`. Nothing goes to the database.
- When the wait ends, it writes one `lifecycle` warn event: "Waited Ns
for file storage before …", with payload `reason:
"storage_outage_wait"`, `purpose`, `waitedMs` and `recovered`.
- `heartbeat.ts`: installs the notice next to `endStorageOutageWaitOn`
(one line).
- Purposes:
  - run-log begin: "starting the run log";
  - `loadWorkspaceSnapshotArchive`: "restoring the workspace";
  - `uploadWorkspaceSnapshot`: "saving the workspace".
- `packages/shared`: adds `waiting_for_storage` to
`HeartbeatRunStatusPhase`.
- `tests/restart-chaos/live-status-evidence.ts` (new): R5 also counts
the board's live run status (`/api/issues/:id/live-runs`
`currentStatusUpdatedAt` / `lastEventAt`) as evidence that a running run
is alive. Wiring it into `observer.ts` takes one import and one changed
line.
- `doc/run-log-events.md`: documents the live status and the one event.
- Removed: the first version's per-wait run event.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run src/services/heartbeat/run-output.test.ts
src/__tests__/storage-outage-wait.test.ts
src/services/remote-workspace-snapshot-storage.test.ts
src/services/object-byte-journal.test.ts
src/__tests__/storage-s3-credential-rotation.test.ts`: 103 pass.
- Red/green: with the observer disabled (master behaviour), these new
tests fail. With this change they pass:
- run-output "shows the wait as live status and writes nothing to the
run while its log claim waits": no run-row write and no event during the
claim's waits; the live status is `waiting_for_storage`; the claim's
writer-authority check still passes; one lifecycle event afterwards;
- the helper's observer tests (one end per wait; gave-up reporting; a
throwing observer; the Stop signal keeps the observer);
- snapshot storage "tells the run it is waiting for storage while a save
or a restore waits out an outage".
- `PAPERCLIP_IN_WORKTREE=false npx vitest run --config
tests/restart-chaos/vitest.config.ts
tests/restart-chaos/live-status-evidence.test.ts
tests/restart-chaos/observer.test.ts
tests/restart-chaos/triggers.test.ts`: 65 pass. `node
scripts/typecheck-test-projects.mjs tests/restart-chaos`: pass. `cd
server && npx tsc --noEmit`: pass.
- Live restart-chaos waves: results in a comment below.

## Risks

- Low.
  - The retry policy, its budget and Stop handling are unchanged.
- During a wait, the only new effect is an in-memory status and a live
event.
  - Afterwards, one event per wait, written without blocking the run.
- Runtime status is per server process. A board on another instance sees
the waiting line only after the closing event.
- Shared journal work (`runSharedStorageWork`) keeps its own scope
without the observer. Its waits surface through the enclosing run-scoped
wait, as before.
- Previous-release state: this persists no new run or session state. A
run saved by the previous release resumes unchanged.

DottaandClaude bf45700ca3 fix(native): make Retry work after a turn start cut off once Codex recorded the turn (#20516)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A native Codex run sends `turn/start` through its runner. A
control-plane restart can kill the runner and Codex while that request
is in flight
> - #20507 lets the runner resume by itself when Codex's thread history
proves the turn was never created. When Codex did record the turn, the
turn may have done work, so the runner still fails closed and nothing
replays it
> - That branch must still end in a Retry that works. The next run on
the same conversation is refused at the runner-state fence before it
asks for a runner. #20507 let Retry continue after that run by matching
the refusal's error text
> - Driving that branch end to end with the real runner exposed a second
dead end. When the owner's runner dies, its provider-session close
cannot prove suspension, so this server process can keep an
operator-required cleanup quarantine for the task. Retry was then
refused outright ("Send a new message")
> - This pull request replaces the text match with a server-authored
run-log event, lets Retry take the same verified-stop path as a new
message, and adds a real-runner test of the whole branch: the cut-off
owner fails closed, the follow-up is refused with structured proof,
Retry is admitted, and the fresh Retry run completes
> - The benefit is that this restart window cannot strand a task, and
the Retry gate no longer depends on error wording

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
Follow-up to #20507 (restart-chaos wave `w-20261110T033426-s108`, t03).
#20507 left one item open: prove that a person's Retry produces a
working run when the restart cut off `turn.start` after Codex recorded
the turn. It also matched the fence refusal by its error text.

**Expected behavior**
After that cut-off, the owner stays failed closed and the turn is never
started again by itself. A person's Retry starts a new run that
completes. It never fails with `quarantine_owner_unverified` and never
returns 202 with no run.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-cut-turn-start-retry.integration.test.ts`.
2. Without the new event, the test fails: the refused follow-up has no
proof that it never launched, so Retry after it would wait on
`process_identity_missing`.

## What Changed

- `native-session-executor.ts`: when the runner-state fence refuses a
run before launch (`prior_owner_*` or `legacy_prior_owner_*`), the
executor records the server-authored event
`native.prior_owner_fence_refused` with the closed refusal `reason`,
then fails the run as before. A failed write leaves the run held (the
safe side).
- `native-local-process-stop.ts`: `nativeRunNeverLaunched` accepts a
failed run that has this event (and still no launch, identity,
`adapter.invoke` or runner-sourced event). It no longer reads the error
text.
- `explicit-native-continuation.ts`: when the task's in-process cleanup
quarantine is operator-required, a Retry no longer returns
`cleanup_quarantined` at once. Like a new message, it must first pass
`verifyStoppedNativeSessionForContinuation`, which releases the
quarantine and records `native.stopped_conversation_verified`. A native
Retry always starts a fresh conversation (`forceFreshSession`), so it
never resumes the interrupted turn. If the proof fails, Retry still
returns `cleanup_quarantined`.
- `verifyStoppedNativeSessionForContinuation`
(`native-session-executor.ts`), three narrow additions:
- a run with `native.prior_owner_fence_refused` may stand in for the
saved state's owner, like a run refused by the cleanup quarantine (both
were refused before launch);
- when the session root is gone, it reads the fence's single
`identity_indeterminate` quarantined copy of the owner's state (several
copies stay ambiguous);
- a provider startup attempt in phase `initialization_failed` whose
direct child exited and whose process and process group are gone no
longer blocks the proof. A same-run restore that fails closed leaves
exactly this record. Those PIDs are also re-checked before the
quarantine is released.
- New real-runnerd integration test
`native-cut-turn-start-retry.integration.test.ts` (real runnerd and fake
Codex with `--hang-turn-start after`):
1. The owner run's `turn/start` hangs after Codex recorded the turn; the
runner and Codex are killed. The owner's provider state keeps the
ambiguous start, and the thread history keeps the turn.
2. The same-run resume restores the runner and fails closed with "cannot
safely recover an ambiguous Codex turn start". Codex saw exactly one
`turn/start`.
3. A follow-up on the same conversation is refused with `prior_owner_*`,
never `quarantine_owner_unverified`. It records
`native.prior_owner_fence_refused`, launches nothing, and
`nativeRunNeverLaunched` is true for it.
4. The owner's operator-required in-process cleanup quarantine is pinned
(whether the real close lands there is timing-dependent; about half of
the local runs did).
5. Retry of the refused follow-up passes
`admitExplicitNativeContinuation` (not a dry run) with no block reason,
releases the quarantine and records
`native.stopped_conversation_verified`.
6. The Retry run, prepared with a fresh conversation as task Retry does
(`forceFreshSession`), uses a different runner-state root and completes
with exit code 0. Codex saw one new `thread/start` and one new
`turn/start`; the cut-off turn was never started again.
- `explicit-native-continuation.test.ts`: the fence rows now insert the
event. A new row shows that the refusal text alone keeps the run held.
The "worker loss (retry)" case now expects a verified Retry to be
admitted like a new message.
- `native-recovered-owner-followup.test.ts`: a fixture event moves to a
free sequence number, because the refused follow-up now writes its own
event.
- Docs: `doc/run-log-events.md` (new event) and
`packages/paperclip-runner/docs/durable-recovery.md`.

## Verification

- Red/green:
- Without the event write, the integration test fails (no fence event,
so the follow-up is not proven unlaunched).
- Without the gate and proof changes, it fails with `expected [
'cleanup_quarantined' ] to deeply equal []`: Retry is refused while the
owner's quarantine is held.
  - With all changes, it passes.
- `vitest run` of `native-recovered-owner-followup`,
`explicit-native-continuation` (427 tests), `quarantined-task-retry`,
`issue-confirm-run-stopped-routes`, `native-finalization-recovery`,
`task-interruption-query`, `execution-projection`,
`chat-run-publications`, `closed-native-receipt-accounting`,
`agent-live-run-routes` and the new integration test pass.
- Server `tsc --noEmit` passes.
- Runner code and the pack `contractDigest` do not change.

## Risks

- Low-medium risk. The new event is written only on the fence refusal
path, which already fails the run. It is local run-log data (no
Telemetry or OpenTelemetry).
- Retry after an operator-required cleanup quarantine is a behaviour
change: it was always refused, and now it is admitted only after the
same exact stop proof a new message needs. That proof checks the owner's
runner stop record, every recorded provider and startup PID and process
group, and the unchanged state fingerprint before it releases the
quarantine.
- A run refused by a build between #20507 and this change has only the
error text. It stays held on `process_identity_missing` until a person
sends a new message or the board confirms the stop. #20507 has not
shipped in a release yet.
- The test models the restart in-process: it kills the runner and Codex
and calls the executor again. It does not drive the HTTP Retry route;
the route's own behaviour (fresh conversation, admission gate) is
covered by existing tests and by `nativeRunNeverLaunched` here.
- Open decision, unchanged: a turn Codex recorded before the restart is
never replayed or adopted. Continuing is a person's decision.

DottaandClaude 16c30ac32b fix(runner): relaunch a provider whose startup only timed out without a reply (#20521)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs execute through `paperclip-runnerd`. After a restart, a
new runner relaunches the provider (for example the Codex app server). A
durable startup fence stops a second runner from launching a provider
while an unadmitted one may still run.
> - #19784 lets a new runner retire a fence whose recorded provider
process and group have provably exited. That rule covers a launch that a
kill cut off. It deliberately keeps a failed initialization closed,
because that can be a real provider failure.
> - A relaunch whose reply never came within the runner's 30 s request
deadline is saved as the same failed initialization. A stalled or frozen
host causes this. The restart-chaos fault TM2 SIGSTOPs the runner and
Codex, and their monotonic clocks keep running while they are stopped.
> - Every later runner then refused to restore with "provider startup
ownership remains unadmitted", and the user had to click Retry. The
owner's rule is that a run interrupted by a restart or sleep must resume
by itself.
> - This pull request records whether initialization failed only because
the provider gave no reply, and lets a later runner retire that fence
once the provider is provably gone.
> - The benefit is that a stall during a provider relaunch continues
automatically, while a real provider rejection still fails as before.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19784

**What happened?**
Restart-chaos wave `w-20261110T091152-s426`, task t03 (Codex, B5), run
`c0bbce18-836b-43af-8195-92ebe3e21cca`. A TM3 restart relaunched the
Codex provider. A TM2 freeze stopped the tree 1 s later for 45 s, and a
TM3 kill followed the thaw. The next three runners each failed
`runner.drain` with "provider startup ownership remains unadmitted".
Recovery stopped with `native_session_retry_exhausted`, and the task
needed Retry.

**What did you expect?**
The new runner relaunches the provider and the run continues.

**Steps to reproduce**
The new test
`restart_relaunches_a_provider_whose_relaunch_timed_out_without_a_reply`
(runner-core `tests/codex_provider.rs`). The fake Codex stalls its first
`thread/resume` reply past the 30 s deadline. On `origin/master`, the
saved attempt is `initialization_failed` / `thread_open`, and the next
runner fails with "provider startup ownership remains unadmitted".

## What Changed

Design:
- The deadline that passes is the runner's own 30 s request deadline.
When a startup request (`initialize`, `thread/start`/`thread/resume`,
`thread/read`) reaches that deadline with the provider still running and
silent, the runner sets `noReply: true` on the durable
`initialization_failed` startup record.
- Not `noReply`: a provider error response, a provider that exited
before it replied, or closed stdout.
- `retire_orphaned_startup_attempt` retires an `initialization_failed`
fence only when `noReply` is set and the recorded process and its
process group are both gone (`ESRCH`). This is the same proof as
`spawned` in #19784. A rejection, an exit, a live process or group, and
spawn or admission failures stay fenced.
- Validation accepts `noReply` only on `initialization_failed` at the
`initialize`, `thread_open` or `thread_read` stage.
- Bounded: a runner restores once (`restore_checked` / `restore_error`),
so the loop is one relaunch per recovery attempt. Recovery's existing
resume budget (`native_session_retry_exhausted`, seen after three
attempts in the wave) stops a provider that never replies.
- Upgrade: `noReply` is `#[serde(default, skip_serializing_if =
"Not::not")]`. A new runner reads state saved by master as `noReply:
false`, so that state keeps today's behaviour and stays fenced.
- Rollback: an old runner (`deny_unknown_fields`) rejects state that
holds a `noReply` fence and fails closed. That run needs Retry, which is
today's outcome for the same fence. The field is written only while a
timed-out fence is present, and admission clears it, so all other state
is unchanged for old runners.
- Normal path: nothing is added before `turn.start`. The cost is one
in-memory flag per request; no extra I/O.

Files:
- `runner-core/src/codex_provider.rs`: `last_request_got_no_reply` and
the `no_reply` field on `ProviderStartupObservation::Failed`.
- `runner-core/src/provider_backend.rs`: the `noReply` field, its
validation, and the retirement rule, with unit tests:
- a no-reply fence is retired at `initialize`, `thread_open` and
`thread_read`;
  - it is kept while the provider may still run;
  - a rejection or a state saved without the field stays fenced.
- `runner-core/src/bin/fake-codex-app-server.rs`: the test-only switch
`--stall-first-thread-resume-ms`.
- `runner-core/tests/codex_provider.rs`: the end-to-end red/green test.
- `tests/restart-chaos/README.md` and `time-faults.ts`: correct the TM2
claim. A stopped process's monotonic clock keeps running, so TM2 is also
a long process stall.

## Verification

- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --test codex_provider
restart_relaunches_a_provider_whose_relaunch_timed_out` is red on
`origin/master` (the next runner refuses restore) and green here, in
about 31 s.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core`: 1080 passed, 0 failed. This
includes
`failed_autonomous_restore_and_rollover_keep_their_exact_startup_origin`,
where a real "no rollout found" rejection still never restarts.
- `cargo fmt -p paperclip-runner-core -- --check` is clean.
- A restart-chaos proof wave on seed 426 will follow in a comment.

## Risks

- A provider that hangs for good is relaunched once per recovery attempt
until the existing resume budget stops it. Before, it failed on the
first attempt. This costs at most a few extra 30 s attempts, and they
are bounded.
- Rollback to an older runner while a `noReply` fence exists fails
closed for that one run, which needs Retry, as it does today.
- No database, server or API change.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, via Claude Code with
tool use (shell, file edits, cargo and test runs).

DottaandClaude 289b402c26 fix(runner): settle a saved governed wait whose parked turn was lost on restore (#20519)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A native agent run can ask the board a question and park on that
saved (governed) wait
> - PR #20494 made a saved wait settle after a control-plane restart for
Codex, which reports the parked turn as interrupted
> - Claude runs through ACPX. After a kill -9 restart, Runnerd restores
the conversation and reports the parked turn as `turn.failed` with
`provider_turn_lost_on_restore`
> - The governed-wait drain and the saved-replay check rejected every
failed terminal as unproven, so the saved question failed and the task
needed a human Retry
> - Runnerd emits `provider_turn_lost_on_restore` only after it proves
that the old provider lifetime ended. That is the same proof as an
interrupted terminal
> - This pull request accepts that recoverable restart loss as proof for
a saved governed wait, and only that failure
> - The benefit is that a Claude question survives a control-plane kill
the same way a Codex question does

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20494. Related: #20498 (Claude lost cancel reply; this change does
not touch that code).

**What happened?**
Restart chaos wave w-20261110T094930-s214 (Claude, Q1, PV1 and PV2 with
`--provider-fault-restart K1`) failed 2 of 2 Q1 tasks with
`R3:retry_needed`. The asking run ended `failed` with
`native_provider_terminal_failed`. Its events show the question saved,
the K1, recovery with `native_governed_wait_settlement_pending`, and
then `turn.failed` with `provider_turn_lost_on_restore` for the parked
turn. The thrown `providerCode` was
`governed_wait_provider_terminal_unproven`.

**What did you expect?**
The saved question settles after the restart. The asking run ends
`succeeded`. The board answer wakes the agent without a Retry.

**Steps to reproduce**
Run the harness with `--adapters claude --workloads Q1 --faults PV1,PV2
--provider-fault-restart K1 --provider-fault-delays 3
--provider-fault-restart-after-seconds 1 --concurrency 1 --tasks 4`. The
new unit-test variants `lost-on-restore-after-restart` and
`lost-on-restore-saved` failed with the same `providerCode` before this
change.

## What Changed

- `native-session-runtime.ts`: add `governedWaitTerminalProven(event)`.
A failed terminal proves the stop only when
`isNativeRestartInterruption(error)` is true (code
`provider_turn_lost_on_restore`, `recoverable: true`). Other terminals
keep the old rule (`providerTerminalObserved !== false`).
- The governed-wait accounting drain and the saved-replay check both use
that helper.
- Tests: two new variants of the #20494 test (a lost terminal after the
restart, and a lost terminal already saved before the next recovery).
Two new rejection cases: a non-restart failed terminal and a
non-recoverable restart loss still fail with
`governed_wait_provider_terminal_unproven`.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec vitest run
src/native-session-runtime`: 265 tests pass. The two new settle variants
failed before the fix.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec tsc --noEmit -p .`
passes.
- A live restart chaos wave on this branch (Claude Q1, PV1/PV2 + K1) is
linked in a comment below when it finishes.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change accepts one more terminal as proof for a saved
governed wait. That terminal comes only from Runnerd after it proves the
old provider lifetime ended, and the code already trusts it to continue
a restart-lost turn (`nativeRestartInterruptedTurnId`).
- A failed terminal with any other code, or a non-recoverable restart
loss, is still rejected.

## Model Used

- Claude (Anthropic), model ID `claude-opus-5-5`, with tool use and code
execution in Claude Code.

DottaandClaude 8b3348c6ba fix(runner): classify Claude's rejected selected model as an unavailable model (#20513)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runner agents on the Claude (ACPX) provider run with the
model the user saves on the agent
> - When the provider cannot run that model, Paperclip should classify
the run as `native_provider_model_rejected`, ask the user to choose a
model, and let Retry finish the task
> - Claude Code accepts an unknown model at session start and reports it
only on the first turn, as an AIR `request` failure with a fixed title.
The runner reported it as an unknown provider failure
> - So the run failed as `native_provider_terminal_failed`, and the task
stopped with `provider_effect_inventory_unavailable` ("Automatic
recovery stopped. Recorded work is preserved…") without naming the model
> - This pull request classifies that Claude title as an unavailable
model, the category the native runtime already turns into
`native_provider_model_rejected`
> - The benefit is that an unknown Claude model asks for a model choice
and names it, as Codex does after #20488

Config wave `w-20261110T094430-s207-cf` on `master` (82abb3e),
`--adapters claude`: CF3 `model_id` failed both times (t01 K1, t04 K2)
as `CF3/model_id:actionable_message`. The task showed `Stopped`, cause
`provider_effect_inventory_unavailable`, "Automatic recovery stopped.
Recorded work is preserved; actions with unverified outcomes will not be
repeated." The run was `native_provider_terminal_failed`, "ACP agent
reported a terminal request failure."

Root cause, from a direct ACP probe of the bundled
`@agentclientprotocol/claude-agent-acp` 0.73.0 with the AIR
`sessionFailure` capability and the model in
`_meta.claudeCode.options.model` (as ACPX passes it): `session/new`
lists `chaos-missing-model-abc12345` among the model options, so
admission's model check passes. `session/prompt` then returns
`stopReason: "end_turn"` with `_meta.jetbrains.air.sessionFailure` =
`{"category":"request","severity":"error","title":"There's an issue with
the selected model (chaos-missing-model-abc12345). It may not exist or
you may not have access to it. Run --model to pick a different
model.","actions":[]}`. ACPX turns that into "ACP agent reported a
terminal request failure.", and `acpxProviderFailure` classified only
AIR `limit` titles, so the provider failure stayed `unknown`.

(Selecting the same model later through `session/set_config_option`
instead returns JSON-RPC `-32603` "Internal error", `data.details`
"Invalid value for config option model: <id>". The runner does not take
that path for Claude, so this PR does not change it.)

**Expected behavior**
The run is `native_provider_model_rejected`, the task shows
`choose_model` with the rejected model, no recovery incident opens, and
Retry finishes the task after the model is repaired.

**Steps to reproduce**
`node cli/node_modules/tsx/dist/cli.mjs
tests/restart-chaos/config-wave.ts --faults CF3 --adapters claude
--references model_id --tasks 2 --concurrency 2 --restarts K1,K2 --seed
207` on `master`.

**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at 82abb3e.

## What Changed

- `packages/paperclip-runner/src/drivers/acpx/provider-failure.ts`: for
the `claude` agent, an AIR `request` session failure whose title is
Claude Code's fixed "There's an issue with the selected model (…). It
may not exist or you may not have access to it." is classified
`model_unavailable` (`requires_action`). The native runtime already
marks such a failed turn `native_provider_model_rejected`, and the
server already projects that as `choose_model` with `rejectedModel`.
- Other AIR categories, other agents and other request titles stay
`unknown`.
- `server/src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.ts`: a
`native_provider_model_rejected` failure after the provider session
opened now gets a choose-model next action ("The provider rejected the
selected model. Choose a supported model for this agent, then retry the
task. Automatic retries are stopped."). Before, only a rejection before
the session opened got that action; the Claude case fell through to
"Inspect the original provider failure and explicitly resolve the
ambiguous session state; do not open a replacement provider session."
Recovery mode, blocking and retry behavior are unchanged; only the
action text changes.

## Verification

- Red before, green after: `src/drivers/provider-failure.test.ts` —
"classifies Claude's rejection of the selected model as an unavailable
model", with the exact title captured from `claude-agent-acp` 0.73.0,
through both `acpxTerminalResult` and the thrown form, plus negative
cases.
- Red before, green after: `native-startup-retry.integration.test.ts` —
"asks for a model choice when the provider rejects the model on an
opened session's turn (Claude ACPX)": a durable `turn.started` and the
`NativeProviderTerminalFailure` the runtime throws; the coordinator and
the board recovery action name the model choice, not ambiguous state.
- Live: on `master` the wave failed (see above). On this branch:
`w-20261110T103809-s208-cf` on head 3881650 (CF3 `model_id`, claude, K1
and K2): **2/2 pass**. Each task rests as `waiting_for_user` /
`choose_model` with `rejectedModel: "chaos-missing-model-…"`, cause
`native_provider_model_rejected`, next action "The provider rejected the
selected model. Choose a supported model for this agent, then retry the
task. Automatic retries are stopped.", rests again after the restart,
and is done after the model is restored and Retry. An earlier wave on
e552b24 (`w-20261110T100526-s207-cf`, 2/2 pass) still showed the
ambiguous-state text that the second commit replaces.

## Risks

- Low risk. The match is limited to the Claude agent, the AIR `request`
category and Claude Code's fixed title. If Claude Code changes the text,
the run falls back to today's generic failure.
- No profile, digest or pack contract change
(`rules/acpx-profile-identity.mdc`): ordinary Runner source.

DottaandClaude a09093a5c5 fix(native): resume a run whose turn.start a restart cut off before Codex created the turn (#20507)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A native Codex run sends `turn.start` to its runner, and the runner
sends `turn/start` to Codex. The runner marks the start "ambiguous"
before it sends the request
> - A control-plane restart can kill the runner and Codex while that
request is in flight. After the restart, neither journal says whether
Codex created the turn, and the resumed thread has no active turn
> - The restored runner then failed closed on every same-run resume with
"cannot safely recover an ambiguous Codex turn start without an active
replacement turn". The answer never reached the agent
> - The next run on the task was refused at the runner-state fence
(`prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate;
retirement_refused=journal_commands_unsettled(turn.start.failed)`)
before it asked for a runner. Retry after that run then waited forever
on `process_identity_missing` for a process that never existed
> - This pull request lets the runner prove from Codex's own thread
history that the start never created a turn, and then resume and start
the turn once. It also lets Retry continue after a run that the
runner-state fence refused before launch
> - The benefit is that a turn start cut off by a restart continues by
itself when Codex never saw it, and a person's Retry is no longer a dead
end

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
Local restart-chaos wave `w-20261110T033426-s108`. Command: `--env local
--adapters codex --workloads Q1,Q2 --faults K1 --triggers answered
--tasks 4 --concurrency 2 --seed 108`. Task t03 (Q2): the answer run
`92a57f50` resumed after the first restart. A second K1 restart landed
0.25 s after `session.resumed`, while its `turn.start` was in flight.
Each same-run resume then failed with `PRP command session.snapshot
failed: cannot safely recover an ambiguous Codex turn start without an
active replacement turn`. When the prerequisite finished, the next run
`0e6aa9d1` failed before launch with `runner_state_identity_mismatch:
prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate;
retirement_refused=journal_commands_unsettled(turn.start.failed)`. The
accepted Retry (202) never created a run: the task stayed on
`retryWait.reason=process_identity_missing` until the wave timed out
(`R3:retry_no_new_run`).

**Expected behavior**
If Codex never created the turn, the run resumes and starts it once by
itself. If that cannot be proven, a person's Retry starts a new run
instead of waiting forever.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run the wave command above on master.
2. Or run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec vitest run
src/live/runnerd-codex-transport-cut-turn-start.test.ts` on master (case
"before" fails with the wave error).

## What Changed

- Runner (`codex_provider.rs`, `provider_backend.rs`): when the restored
provider state has an ambiguous turn start, no active turn before the
loss, and the resumed thread has no active turn, the runner reads the
newest turn of the thread (`thread/turns/list`, limit 1, metadata only,
the same request `read_thread` already sends). If there is no turn, or
the newest turn is one Paperclip already settled, Codex never created
the turn. The runner clears the ambiguity, emits a `harness.diagnostic`
with code `ambiguous_turn_start_not_created`, and restores an idle
session. The old `turn.start` stays `execution_indeterminate` and is
never executed again. The same-run resume then starts the run's turn
once, through the existing "recovered session without an active turn"
path.
- Any other history (a turn Paperclip never settled, an in-progress
turn, an incomplete page, a non-Codex provider) keeps today's
fail-closed error. The probe runs only on this recovery path. The normal
turn path does no new work before `turn.start`.
- Server (`native-local-process-stop.ts`): `nativeRunNeverLaunched` also
accepts a failed native run whose error is the runner-state fence
refusal `runner_state_identity_mismatch: prior_owner_*` (or
`legacy_prior_owner_*`). The executor throws it only while it migrates
another run's saved state, before it requests a launch. The existing
evidence check still applies: any launch request, identity record,
`adapter.invoke` or runner event keeps the run held. Other runner-state
errors (for example `authority_indeterminate`) stay held.
- Fake Codex (`fake-codex-app-server.rs`): keeps the thread's turn
history in a `<state-file>.turns` sidecar, so `thread/turns/list`
returns history like real Codex (newest first, honours `limit`). New
`--hang-turn-start <file>` holds `turn/start` "before" or "after" the
thread records the turn, to model a kill in flight.
- Tests:
- New real-runnerd test
`runnerd-codex-transport-cut-turn-start.test.ts`. A real runner and fake
Codex start a turn; both processes are killed while `turn/start` is in
flight. "before": the resumed run completes, the journal holds the old
`turn.start` (`execution_indeterminate`) and one new completed
`turn.start` with the same task text, and Codex saw exactly one more
`turn/start`. "after": recovery still fails closed and no new
`turn/start` is sent.
- Rust:
`ambiguous_turn_start_that_never_created_a_turn_recovers_and_starts_once`
and
`ambiguous_turn_start_that_created_an_unsettled_turn_still_fails_closed`.
Both rewrite saved provider state the way a master runner wrote it, so
they also cover state saved before this change.
- `explicit-native-continuation.test.ts`: five new rows for the
runner-state fence. Admitted: refused before launch (with and without a
coordinator). Held on `process_identity_missing`: refused after a launch
request, refused after a runner event, and a run that failed its own
`authority_indeterminate` check.
- `docs/durable-recovery.md`: describes both behaviours.

## Verification

- Red/green, real runnerd: on master (the staged master runnerd),
`runnerd-codex-transport-cut-turn-start.test.ts` "before" fails with
`PRP command runner.drain failed: ... cannot safely recover an ambiguous
Codex turn start without an active replacement turn`, the wave error.
With this change, both cases pass.
- Red/green, Rust: without the `provider_backend.rs` change, `cargo test
-p paperclip-runner-core --test codex_provider
ambiguous_turn_start_that` fails the "never created" test. With it, both
pass. The full `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core` passes.
- Red/green, server: without the `native-local-process-stop.ts` change,
the two "refused at the prior-owner runner-state fence" rows fail with
`process_identity_missing`. With it, all 14 rows pass.
- Related suites pass: 11 Runner transport files, 419 tests
(`runnerd-codex-transport`, `-attachment-recovery`, `-cold-restore`,
`-warm-attachment`, `-release-resume`, `-cut-attach`, `-cut-turn-start`,
`-settlement`, `-suspension`, `runnerd-restart-continuation`,
`runnerd-saved-continuation`); server `explicit-native-continuation`,
`quarantined-task-retry` and `issue-confirm-run-stopped-routes`, 3
files, 470 tests; full `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core`.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec tsc --noEmit` and
server `tsc --noEmit` pass.
- Pack `contractDigest` is unchanged: `sha256:3164357d…` before and
after (`scripts/contracts/contract-fingerprints.mjs`).
- Live proof: the wave command above on this branch. Results follow in a
comment.

**No duplicate provider work.** The runner starts a new turn only when
Codex's own history proves the cut-off start created nothing. The old
command is never executed again (the runner refuses an `indeterminate`
command). A recorded turn that Paperclip never settled keeps the run
failed closed.

## Risks

- Low-medium risk. The runner change runs only while it restores a
session whose saved state has an ambiguous turn start and no active
turn. Before this change, that run could never continue.
- The proof relies on Codex recording a turn in the thread before it
runs anything. If Codex accepted the request but died before it wrote
the turn, the runner treats the start as not created and starts the turn
once. Codex writes the user turn to the thread when it starts the turn,
before it asks the model for output, so no model output or tool call is
expected without a recorded turn.
- If the thread's newest turn is not in the runner's settled set (for
example after a provider identity epoch rollover forgot older
identities), the runner keeps failing closed, as today.
- **Open decision (not changed here):** when Codex did record the
cut-off turn, it may have done work. This pull request keeps the run
failed closed and does not replay or adopt that turn. Continuing is a
person's decision through Retry or a new message.
- The server change trusts the executor's own error text
`runner_state_identity_mismatch: prior_owner_*`, together with the
absence of every launch and runner event. A run that requested a launch
keeps every stop proof.
- **Runner release:** the pack `contractDigest` does not change. Local
runners use the runnerd built with the app, so the fix applies with this
release.
- Not covered: the related `authority_indeterminate` variant in the same
wave (t04, Q1) is a separate cause; its Retry already worked in that
wave.

DottaandClaude 914e3ae14f fix(runner): settle ACPX turns when the cancel reply is lost (#20498)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Claude agents run through the native Runner and the ACPX sidecar
> - A saved question or a board Stop cancels the active turn with
`turn.cancel`
> - The Runner waited 30 s for the sidecar's reply to that cancel, and
the Runner serves controller commands one at a time
> - When that reply was lost, the controller's shutdown commands timed
out first, so the run failed and the task needed a human Retry
> - This pull request bounds that wait, keeps the transport open, and
lets the provider's own turn terminal settle the turn
> - The benefit is that a lost cancel reply on Claude settles the same
way it already does on Codex (#20336)

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20336 (Codex equivalent: settle a saved handoff after verified
shutdown). Related, no overlap: #20477, #20482, #20483.

**What happened?**

The restart-chaos harness dropped the ACPX sidecar's reply to the
Runner's `turn.cancel` (fault PV2, target `interrupt_ack`).
A Claude task that saved a question (Q1) failed with "The waiting state
is saved; confirming shutdown of the previous execution is still
pending". Its next attempt failed `native_session_cleanup_quarantined`.
A Claude task stopped by the board (S1) ended `blocked`. Retry was
accepted but started no run.

Cause, in
`packages/paperclip-runner/runner/crates/runner-core/src/acpx_provider_session.rs`
(`interrupt_turn`, master line ~800): the cancel used the ordinary
sidecar request with the 30 s bound from `acpx_provider_backend.rs:539`.
While it waited:
- `turn.stop` and `runner.suspend` stayed queued. The controller's 15 s
governed drain plus its 10 s close grace ran out first (`runner did not
durably suspend before checkpoint`, suspend command `pending`).
- At 30 s, `fail_closed` killed the sidecar and dropped the provider's
buffered turn terminal. The poll path then recorded `turn.failed`
(`acpx_provider_transport_failed`) and `provider_exit_unconfirmed`
(`acpx_provider_backend.rs:2716-2738`). `turn.stop` returned
`already_settled`, and `runner.suspend` refused with `ACPX provider
lifetime cleanup is not yet proven`
(`acpx_provider_backend.rs:2613-2621`).

Codex passes the same fault because its Runner does not block on the
interrupt reply.

**Expected behavior**

A lost cancel reply must not fail the run. The saved question must
settle as `succeeded`. A board Stop must end the run as cancelled with a
proven suspension, so the next turn can start.

**Steps to reproduce**

`node cli/node_modules/tsx/dist/cli.mjs tests/restart-chaos/main.ts
--env local --adapters claude --workloads Q1,S1 --faults PV2
--provider-fault-message interrupt_ack --concurrency 1 --tasks 4`
Failing wave on master: `w-20261110T060120-s207` (t04, t05).

**Deployment mode**

Native Runner with the Claude ACPX profile, local. Hosted sandboxes run
the same Runner code.

## What Changed

- `AcpxSidecarTransport::request_turn_cancel`: sends `turn.cancel` and
waits only to a caller deadline. On a missing reply it keeps the
transport usable and retains the request ID, so a late reply is skipped
in both the response and the event-poll paths. A rejected reply and
transport errors keep their existing fail-closed result.
- `AcpxProviderSession::interrupt_turn`: waits at most 5 s (or the
shorter configured request bound) for the cancel reply. On a missing
reply it retires the runtime from warm reuse and returns. The provider's
turn terminal still arrives through polling, and `turn.stop` still reaps
a provider that never stops.
- `AcpxProviderSession::deliver_tool_result`: a board Stop can land
while a semantic tool runs. The session's own `turn.cancel` then retires
the call in the sidecar before its result arrives, and the turn terminal
may still be buffered. The sidecar rejects the result as stale
(`ACPX_TOOL_CALL_STALE`). When this session sent `turn.cancel` for that
turn, the Runner now keeps the durable result, like a result for an
already closed turn. Every other rejection still fails closed.
(`AcpxSidecarTransport::request_tool_resolve` reports whether a
rejection was the stale-call case.)
- A repeated interruption while a cancel is unanswered sends nothing and
returns at once (review finding).
- `fake-acpx-sidecar`: new `--cancel-reply lost|late` flag. After that
cancel, `tool.resolve` is rejected as stale. The provider ends the turn,
and the reply is dropped or written just before the next request.
- Three regression tests (below) and a short section in
`packages/paperclip-runner/docs/durable-recovery.md`.

No TypeScript, server, schema or protocol change. The normal start path
is unchanged; nothing waits before turn start.

## Verification

Red/green (red runs used the master versions of
`acpx_provider_session.rs` and `acpx_sidecar_transport.rs`):
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --test acpx_warm_attachment
a_lost_cancellation_reply_still_settles_the_turn_and_suspends_the_runner`
- Red: after 30.4 s, `ACPX turn interrupt failed: ACPX sidecar request
timed out at turn.cancel` (the live error).
- Green: `turn.interrupt` returns in about 5 s, then `turn.interrupted`
and a `cancelled` `run.terminal` (no `turn.failed`), `turn.stop`, and
`runner.suspend` completes.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --test acpx_provider_turns
lost_cancellation_reply_keeps_the_turn_terminal_and_the_transport`
  - Red: `interrupt_turn` fails at the request bound.
- Green, for a lost reply and for a late reply: the terminal is polled,
warm reuse is refused, and the next request (`session.close`) succeeds
after the late reply arrives. A late reply causes no second settle and
no second prompt.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --test acpx_provider_turns
a_tool_result_for_a_call_retired_by_our_cancellation_does_not_fail_the_transport`
- Red (guard disabled): `ACPX sidecar command tool.resolve was rejected
(retryable=false, classification=provider_tool_call_retired)`, the same
error as live wave task t03 below.
- Green: the result is kept, the pending tool clears, and the turn
terminal is polled after it.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core` (whole crate): all pass.
Existing `turns-tool-resolution-rejected` coverage still fails closed
when no cancel was sent. `cargo fmt --check` passes.
- Pack contract digest: unchanged (`sha256:3164357d…` before and after,
from `scripts/contracts/contract-fingerprints.mjs`).
- Live wave 1, `w-20261110T072706-s211` (commit `d91bff1e9f`, the first
fix only), `--adapters claude --workloads Q1,S1 --faults PV2
--provider-fault-message interrupt_ack --tasks 4`: 3 of 4 pass. Both Q1
tasks pass (the asking run `succeeded`, no failed run, answer in the
brief). One S1 passes. S1 task t03 failed: Stop landed during a
`write_task_document` call and hit the stale tool-result error above.
The second commit fixes that case.
- Live wave 2, `w-20261110T082702-s212` on head `76dd57515d`, same
flags: every task passes R1–R6 and U1. Both Q1 tasks pass with the fault
applied (asking run `succeeded`, no failed run). S1 t01 passes with the
fault applied (Stop took effect, task `done`, no Retry). S1 t03 fails
only `provider_fault_applied` (`applied=0`): the agent finished before
the Stop window, so nothing was injected and the task proves nothing
either way.
- Live wave 3, `w-20261110T091057-s213` on head `76dd57515d`, same
flags: the same result. t01 (S1), t02 and t04 (Q1) pass with the fault
applied; t01's Stop took effect (`status=cancelled`), task `done`, no
Retry. t03 again fails only `provider_fault_applied` (`applied=0`, the
run finished before the Stop window); all its R1–R6 and U checks pass.
- Across waves 2 and 3 on the final head: 6 of 6 tasks with the fault
applied pass (4 Q1, 2 S1). No product rule failed. The two misses are
harness timing (no injection), not product failures.

## Risks

- A healthy cancel reply that takes longer than 5 s now retires the warm
runtime. The next turn starts a fresh provider process for that session.
The observed healthy reply time is about 1 s.
- If the provider never stops and the reply is lost, the turn stays
active until `turn.stop` terminates the provider and proves the lifetime
fence. If that proof fails, the existing settlement-pending and
quarantine states are unchanged; this PR adds no success path without
proof.
- Runner binary change: hosted Daytona images need a normal image
rebuild to pick up the fix. The pack `contractDigest` does not change,
so existing image packs stay reusable.

## Model Used

DottaandClaude 82abb3ea04 fix(native): classify a Codex API-key unknown model as a model rejection (#20488)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runner agents run on a provider (here Codex) with a model the
user saves on the agent
> - When the provider rejects that model, Paperclip should classify the
run as `native_provider_model_rejected`, ask the user to choose a model,
and let Retry finish the task
> - Paperclip recognized only the ChatGPT-account rejection (a 400 JSON
envelope). With API-key auth, Codex returns a different terminal error
for an unknown model
> - So the run failed as a generic `adapter_failed` ("Native session
failed"), and recovery opened a reconciliation incident ("Recovery
needed") for a turn that never did any work
> - This pull request recognizes the real API-key shape, bound to the
configured model, and names the rejected model on the task
> - The benefit is that the task asks for a model choice instead of a
reconciliation, and Retry completes the task after the user picks a
valid model

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
The restart-chaos config fault CF3 `model_id` saves a Codex agent with
the model `chaos-missing-model-<nonce>`. The run stays "running" for
about 60 seconds, then fails with `errorCode: adapter_failed`, "Native
session failed". The task shows "Recovery needed", cause
`native_continuation_requires_reconciliation`. The grader fails as
`CF3/model_id:actionable_message` (waves `w-20261110T061914-s206-cf` t01
and `w-20261110T053831-s205-cf` t02).

Root cause: the wave runs Codex with an OpenAI API key. I drove the
bundled `codex app-server` (0.160.0) directly with an unknown model:
- With API-key auth, Codex retries the Responses API 404 ten times
(about 59 s), then fails the turn with `{"message":"unexpected status
404 Not Found: The model \`<id>\` does not exist or you do not have
access to it., url: https://api.openai.com/v1/responses, cf-ray: …,
request id:
req_…","codexErrorInfo":{"httpConnectionFailed":{"httpStatusCode":404}}}`.
- With ChatGPT auth, the turn fails in about 3 s with `message` =
`{"type":"error","status":400,"error":{"type":"invalid_request_error","message":"The
'<id>' model is not supported when using Codex with a ChatGPT
account.","code":"model_not_found"}}`. Paperclip already classified this
one.

`createNativeProviderFailureObservation` parsed only the JSON envelope,
and the runner's provider-failure category for an HTTP 404 is `unknown`.
The terminal therefore stayed unclassified.

**Expected behavior**
The run is `native_provider_model_rejected`, the task shows `userAction:
"choose_model"` and names the model, no reconciliation incident opens,
and Retry completes the task after the user picks a valid model.

**Steps to reproduce**
`node cli/node_modules/tsx/dist/cli.mjs
tests/restart-chaos/config-wave.ts --faults CF3 --adapters codex
--references model_id --tasks 1 --concurrency 1 --restarts K2 --seed
206` on `master` (with `OPENAI_API_KEY` set).

**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at 5ab98b0.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/native-runtime/native-provider-failure.ts`: the
Codex observation recognizes the API-key terminal shape
(`codexErrorInfo` `httpConnectionFailed` or `responseStreamDisconnected`
with `httpStatusCode: 404`, and the message prefix for the configured
model only). It classifies it as `native_provider_model_rejected` with a
new closed diagnostic `NATIVE_MODEL_NOT_FOUND_DIAGNOSTIC` (`codex`,
`model_not_found`, `404`, `api_key`). No provider text or model name is
stored in the diagnostic. A recoverable turn, another model's 404, or
another status is not classified.
- `readNativeModelRejectionDiagnostic` accepts both closed diagnostics,
so run failure diagnostics show it.
- `TaskInterruptionPresentation.rejectedModel` (shared type): with
`userAction: "choose_model"`, the task query carries the model id from
the run's native execution input. Only a
`native_provider_model_rejected` run discloses it.
- `TaskChatThread` names the model in the "Model unavailable" marker:
`The provider rejected the model "<id>".`
- The restart-chaos config wave reads `interruption.rejectedModel` as
task-level text. For `choose_model`, its repair step uses the Retry that
the "Model unavailable" marker offers (`POST /agents/{id}/wakeup` with
`reason: "retry_failed_run"`, the same request as
`agentsApi.retryFailedRun`), because a model rejection does not offer
the task-level Retry.

## Verification

- Red before, green after (the classification line disabled makes both
fail):
- `native-provider-failure.test.ts` — "classifies the API-key 404 for
the configured model as a model rejection (codex 0.160.0 shape)", with
the exact terminal error captured from `codex app-server` 0.160.0, plus
negative cases.
- `native-provider-failure.integration.test.ts` — new `api-key` scenario
through `executePaperclipNativeSession`, the persisted evidence reader
and `finalizeNativeRun`: the run ends `native_provider_model_rejected`,
the issue is `blocked` with that decision, and no issue recovery action
is created.
- `task-interruption-query.test.ts` — the real task query carries
`rejectedModel` only for a model rejection. `TaskChatThread.test.tsx` —
the marker names the model.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck`, `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/server typecheck`, `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui
typecheck` pass.
- Live proof: config wave `w-20261110T090801-s206-cf` (CF3 `model_id`,
codex with an OpenAI API key, K2, seed 206) on commit 05e8938: **1/1
pass**. The run ends `native_provider_model_rejected`; the task rests as
`waiting_for_user` / `choose_model` with `rejectedModel:
"chaos-missing-model-472e1851"` and execution cause
`native_provider_model_rejected` (no reconciliation incident), rests
again after the K2 restart, and finishes 27 s after the model is
restored and the marker's Retry is used. On `master` the same wave
failed as `actionable_message` with "Recovery needed" /
`native_continuation_requires_reconciliation`
(`w-20261110T061914-s206-cf`).

## Risks

- Low risk. The match is bound to the configured model, a 404 status and
a non-recoverable turn, so other provider failures keep their current
behavior.
- The match depends on the Codex terminal text. If a later Codex release
changes it, the run falls back to the old generic failure, not to a
wrong classification.
- Claude (ACPX) unknown models are not changed here. Claude Code reports
an unknown model as a synthetic assistant message ("There's an issue
with the selected model …") rather than a provider error; this PR does
not change or live-verify that path.

DottaandClaude a14ae9b5c9 fix(workspaces): name a failed workspace setup command on the task page (#20478)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Before an agent starts, Paperclip prepares the task workspace and
runs the project's configured setup commands (for example the workspace
provision command)
> - When that command fails, the run fails as `setup_failed`, and the
task stops with a Retry
> - The task page shows only "Failed" and a generic recovery notice. The
real error (the command, its exit status and output) is visible only on
the run page
> - The user cannot see from the task which setting is broken or what to
change
> - This pull request records a bounded, named cause for a failed setup
command and shows it on the task page
> - The benefit is that the task names the broken setting and what to
change, and classification, retry and recovery stay the same

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
The restart-chaos config fault wave CF1 sets a project
`workspaceStrategy.provisionCommand` to `bash
./scripts/provision-worktree.sh`, a script that does not exist. The run
fails as `setup_failed` with `Execution workspace provision command
"bash ./scripts/provision-worktree.sh" failed: bash:
./scripts/provision-worktree.sh: No such file or directory`. The task
page shows "Failed" and "Paperclip automatically retried continuation …
still has no live execution path". The grader fails the task as
`CF1/provision_command:message_only_in_run_detail`.

**Expected behavior**
The task page names the failed setup step, the configured command, its
exit status and a short tail of its output, and says what to change.
Retry behavior stays the same.

**Steps to reproduce**
`node cli/node_modules/tsx/dist/cli.mjs
tests/restart-chaos/config-wave.ts --faults CF1 --adapters codex --tasks
2 --concurrency 2 --restarts K1,K2 --seed 204` on `master`.

**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at 5ab98b0 (wave `w-20261110T043929-s204-cf`, tasks t01 and
t03).

## What Changed

- `WorkspaceCommandExitError` now carries the setup step
(`workspace_provision`, `workspace_seed`,
`workspace_runtime_provision`), the configured command and the command
output.
- New `server/src/services/workspace-setup-command-failure.ts`: it
builds a bounded, redacted `setupCommandFailure` record (step, command
up to 200 characters, exit code, last 300 characters of output). It also
recognizes the older message format, so runs recorded before this change
still get a name.
- `run-completion.ts` adds `setupCommandFailure` to the setup failure
`resultJson`. The error code (`setup_failed`) and all retry and recovery
fields stay the same.
- `TaskInterruptionPresentation.setupFailure` (shared type) is set for
`setup_failed` runs. It goes through the same per-run secret redaction
and user-name redaction as `workspaceFailure`.
- `ExecutionBlockerNotice` shows "Couldn’t set up the task workspace.
<command> failed with exit code N: <output>. Fix the command in the
project’s workspace settings, then retry." A scheduled transient retry
keeps its countdown and only adds the name.
- The restart-chaos config wave reads `interruption.setupFailure` as a
task-level text for its actionable-message check.

## Verification

- Red before, green after (the tests fail with the source changes
reverted):
- `server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts` — "names a failed
project provision command with its exit status and output (CF1)" runs a
real git worktree with a missing provision script (exit 127).
- `server/src/services/task-interruption-presentation.test.ts` — "setup
command failure presentation (CF1)": names the command, keeps
`state`/`canRetry`/`userAction` identical, recognizes the older message,
keeps a scheduled retry, bounds output and strips credentials from the
command.
- `ui/src/components/ExecutionBlockerNotice.test.tsx` and
`tests/restart-chaos/config-faults.test.ts` cover the notice text and
the harness check.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck`, `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/server typecheck`, `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui
typecheck` pass.
- Live proof: config wave `w-20261110T083227-s204-cf` (CF1, codex, 2
tasks, K1 and K2, seed 204) on commit ae9a4b7: **2/2 pass**. Both tasks
show `The project's workspace provision command "bash
./scripts/provision-worktree.sh" failed with exit code 127: bash:
./scripts/provision-worktree.sh: No such file or directory` on the task,
rest again after the restart, and finish after the repair and Retry. On
`master` the same wave failed both tasks as `message_only_in_run_detail`
(`w-20261110T043929-s204-cf`).

## Risks

- Low risk. The change adds a presentation field. It does not change the
error code, retry, recovery or blocking behavior.
- The command and output are user-configured text. They are bounded,
passed through `redactSensitiveText`, the run's secret registry and
user-name redaction. If redaction fails, the field is omitted, like
`workspaceFailure`.

DottaandClaude 3e572475c8 fix(native): re-attach an answer run whose run.attach a restart cut off (#20477)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - When a person answers an agent's saved question, Paperclip starts an
answer run. For a per-turn session, that run starts a new runner and
sends `run.attach` to bind the saved conversation to the run
> - The runner journals each command before its effect. A restart that
kills it inside that window leaves `run.attach` with an unknown outcome.
The restored runner settles it as `execution_indeterminate` and never
executes it again
> - The controller's same-run resume waited on that old command, so
every resume failed with "PRP command run.attach failed". The answer
never reached the agent. A Retry or a stall followed
> - A kill during the attachment's provider launch can also leave a
startup fence that no later runner retires, so every later command fails
with "provider startup ownership remains unadmitted"
> - This pull request attaches again with a new command when nothing
after the cut-off attachment started provider work. It also lets the
runner retire that orphaned startup fence
> - The benefit is that an answer given just before a restart continues
on its own

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
Local restart-chaos journey wave `w-20261110T054406-s108` on master
`2c2186706e`. Command: `--adapters codex --workloads Q1,Q2 --faults K1
--triggers answered --tasks 4 --concurrency 2 --seed 108`. Result: 1 of
4 passed.
- t02 (Q1, K1 2.7 s after the answer). Answer run `0b357a1f` resumed
after the restart. Each resume failed with
`native_session_recovery_failed: PRP command run.attach failed:
execution_indeterminate`. Then "Automatic recovery stopped", and the
task needed a Retry.
- t01 (Q2, K1 1.1 s after the answer). Answer run `82c60af9` failed the
same way on three same-run resumes. Its provider state kept `lifecycle:
"prepared"` with a `spawned` startup attempt for `run.attach`, and that
provider process was gone. Each later drain and suspend failed with
"provider startup ownership remains unadmitted". The successor run then
refused with
`retirement_refused=journal_commands_unsettled(run.attach.failed)`. The
accepted Retry created no run (`retry_no_new_run`).

The earlier wave `w-20261110T033426-s108` hit the same window at
different points. It showed `authority_indeterminate` (Q1) and an
ambiguous `turn.start` stall (Q2). See Risks for what this pull request
does not cover.

**Expected behavior**
An answer run that a restart interrupts before it starts provider work
resumes by itself. It does not need a Retry.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run the wave command above on master.
2. Or run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec vitest run
src/live/runnerd-codex-transport-cut-attach.test.ts` on master. Both
cases fail with the error from the wave.

## What Changed

- `runnerd-codex-transport.ts`: the same-run resume waits on the
recovered `run.attach` as before. If that wait fails, the new
`cutOffRunAttachmentPayload` checks the journal. It queues one new
`run.attach` with the same payload, and waits on it, only when all of
these are true:
- the latest `run.attach` has an unknown outcome (`indeterminate`, or
`failed` with `execution_indeterminate`);
- it is a cold attachment (no `paperclipNextAuthority`), with no warm
transition and no staged attachment;
- every later command is recovery maintenance, as the control plane's
shared `isRunnerRecoveryMaintenanceCommand` defines it
(`session.snapshot`, `session.goal.get`, `runner.drain`,
`runner.suspend`, `runner.shutdown`, `turn.stop`);
- no committed event shows provider work (`turn.accepted`,
`turn.started`, `item.started`, `tool.execution.started`,
`semantic_tool.input`, `runtime_request.created` or
`mcp_app.tool_input`).
  Any other failure is thrown unchanged.
- `provider_backend.rs` (Runner): `retire_orphaned_startup_attempt` also
treats a `prepared` state with a saved thread and a nonzero process
generation as restorable. `attach_run` already documents this state as
the settled checkpoint that `run.attach` restores. The other fence rules
do not change. The fence is retired only before the spawn, or when the
recorded process and its group have exited.
- Tests:
- New real-runnerd test `runnerd-codex-transport-cut-attach.test.ts`. A
real runner and the fake Codex server run an asking run, then a cold
answer-run attachment. The test kills both processes and rewinds both
journals to "`run.attach` journaled, outcome not recorded", then
resumes. One case has a startup fence and one does not.
- A unit test for `cutOffRunAttachmentPayload`. It covers each
maintenance command, and the cases where it must not re-attach (a
definite answer, a pending command, a warm or staged attachment, any
work command, a turn event).
- The Rust orphaned-startup test also covers `prepared`. A new test
shows that a `prepared` state with no saved thread keeps its fence.
- `docs/durable-recovery.md`: describes both behaviors.

## Verification

- Red/green, real runnerd:
- On master, `runnerd-codex-transport-cut-attach.test.ts` fails both
cases with `PRP command run.attach failed: ... execution_indeterminate`,
the error from the wave.
- With only the transport change, the case without a fence passes. The
fence case fails with `provider startup ownership remains unadmitted`,
the t01 error.
  - With both changes, both cases pass.
- Red/green, Rust: `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --lib orphaned`
fails `restart_retires_a_spawned_startup_whose_provider_process_exited`
for `prepared` without the runner change. With it, all 10 tests pass.
- Related transport suites, 8 files and 387 tests, pass:
`runnerd-codex-transport`, `-attachment-recovery`, `-cold-restore`,
`-warm-attachment`, `-release-resume`, `-cut-attach`,
`runnerd-restart-continuation` and `runnerd-saved-continuation`. `tsc
--noEmit` for the Runner package passes.
- Live proof: the same wave command on this branch. Results follow in a
comment.

**No duplicate provider work.** The new attachment is sent only when the
journal proves that no provider work followed the cut-off one. No
command after it can start or steer work: only the shared
recovery-maintenance commands are allowed, and none of them starts a
turn. No turn, item, tool-input or runtime-request event is committed.
`run.attach` itself starts no turn. In the Codex and ACPX runners,
`attach_run` refuses to attach unless the session is settled. That means
no active or ambiguous turn, no pending tool call and no live active
goal. The old command is never executed again, because the runner
refuses an `indeterminate` command. The new attachment is a new command
with a new ID.

## Risks

- Low-medium risk. The new path runs only after a same-run resume has
already failed on an unknown-outcome attachment. Before this change,
that run could not continue.
- If an attachment's partial effect had changed provider state, the
runner's own settled-session check refuses the new attachment. The run
then fails as it does today.
- **Runner release:** the Runner change does not change the pack
`contractDigest`. It is `sha256:3164357d…` before and after
(`scripts/contracts/contract-fingerprints.mjs`). Local runners use the
runnerd built with the app, so the fix takes effect with this release. A
remote image pack (for example Daytona) that was built before this
change keeps the old fence rule until a new image or pack is built and
qualified. No release or pin bump is part of this pull request.
- **Mixed versions during an upgrade:**
- New server with an old runner: the server re-attaches. A run without a
startup fence continues. With a fence, the old runner refuses the new
attachment, the same failure as today.
- Old server with a new runner: the runner retires the fence, but the
old server still fails on the unknown-outcome attachment, as today.
- Neither mix adds a new failure. Saved state from older builds needs no
migration.
- Not covered here, and still open:
- A `turn.start` with an unknown outcome where the resumed thread has no
active turn (wave `w-20261110T033426-s108` t03). The runner deliberately
fails closed for that case.
- A warm-runner attachment that may already have been delivered
(`authority_indeterminate`).
- A Retry that waits on `process_identity_missing` for a run that failed
before any process started. A separate pull request will cover it.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), via Claude Code with tool use
(shell, file edits, test execution).

DottaandClaude ca472d543a fix(runner): settle a saved governed wait whose shutdown drain left sequence gaps (#20494)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A native agent run can ask the board a question and park on that
saved (governed) wait
> - After the question is saved, the runner interrupts the provider and
drains its usage and terminal for a bounded time
> - The drain keeps only usage, the terminal and cancellation facts of
the parked turn. It discards every other numbered provider event
> - If the control plane restarts before the drain settles, recovery
replays the saved journal. That replay required strictly contiguous
`sourceSeq`, so the discarded events made a valid saved wait look like
the wrong conversation
> - This pull request accepts a gap after the saved trigger only when
every event after the gap is a drain-retained fact of the same turn.
Identity checks do not change
> - The benefit is that the asking run settles its saved wait after a
restart instead of recording a failure

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
Restart-chaos wave `w-20261110T063253-s208`, tasks t02 (Codex Q1, PV2:
provider terminal dropped) and t03 (Codex Q1, PV1: provider terminal
held), each with K1 (`kill -9` of the control plane about 3-4 s after
the fault). The question, the board answer and the final brief were all
correct. But the asking run was recorded `failed:
native_session_interrupted`, and the grader failed
`T:asking_run_settled`.

**Cause**
The run log of the asking run shows `failureDetail.message:
native_governed_wait_replay_mismatch`. It is thrown at
`packages/paperclip-runner/src/native-session-runtime.ts:2344` (master).
The persisted runner events of the asking run have `sourceSeq` 33..40
and then 43 (t02), and 41, 42 and then 45 (t03). The two missing numbers
are events that the accounting drain (`consumeTurn` →
`settleDurableResult`, around line 1206 on master) read and discarded,
because they are not usage, a terminal or a cancellation fact. Runs
without a restart have the same gap (for example
`w-20261110T032350-s201/t01`: 34, then 37). Those runs settle without
replay, so the gap was not seen before. With a held or dropped terminal
and a kill before the shutdown settlement receipt, recovery must replay.
Its strict contiguity check then fails on a gap that the runner made
itself.

**Expected behavior**
The question was saved before the provider was interrupted. Recovery
must settle that same saved wait, as #20336 does after verified
shutdown. Recovery must not start a new model turn.

**Related**
Refs #20336 (settle saved handoffs after verified shutdown). Not related
in cause or code: #20477, #20482, #20483.

## What Changed

- `isGovernedDrainRetainedEvent` (new, in `native-session-runtime.ts`)
names the facts that the governed-wait drain persists: usage, the turn
terminal, the interrupt acknowledgement, cancelled or expired runtime
requests, and a failed or cancelled `run.terminal`, all for the parked
turn. The drain now uses it in place of the same inline condition. Drain
behavior does not change.
- Governed-wait recovery replay accepts a `sourceSeq` gap only when:
- the trigger is the first replayed event (a gap before it still fails),
  - sequence numbers strictly increase,
- every event after the first gap is a drain-retained fact of the
trigger's turn.
- The run, normalized session and source instance identity checks do not
change. Any mismatch still fails with
`native_governed_wait_replay_mismatch`.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: the governed-wait text said that
shutdown keeps a contiguous journal. It now describes the gaps and the
replay rule.

Note for the sibling Claude/ACPX `turn.cancel` work: this change touches
`settleDurableResult` only in the drain filter line (same condition,
shared helper). It does not change cancel, the drain timeout or
`settleCancelledTurn`.

## Verification

- Red/green:
`packages/paperclip-runner/src/native-session-runtime.test.ts`
- `settles a saved governed wait whose drain left sequence gaps before a
restart (terminal-after-restart)`
- `settles a saved governed wait whose drain left sequence gaps before a
restart (late-terminal-saved)`

The first run uses the real drain. It discards two numbered events, so
the history is trigger, acknowledgement, then usage with a gap. The
stream then ends without a terminal, as with PV1/PV2 plus K1. On master,
recovery rejects with `native_governed_wait_replay_mismatch` (the live
error). With this change, recovery settles the saved wait as yielded. It
does not call `resolveGovernedWait` again. It starts no second turn. The
terminal is appended once. When the terminal arrived late and is already
saved, recovery does not cancel the provider again. A further recovery
of the settled checkpoint does not submit or settle again.
- Fail closed: `keeps rejecting an unproven governed-wait replay with a
sequence gap: …` covers a gap before the trigger, a foreign run, a
foreign session, a foreign source instance, usage of another turn, a
non-accounting event after a gap, and an accounting event followed by a
non-accounting event.
- `cd packages/paperclip-runner && npx vitest run
src/native-session-runtime.test.ts`: 261 passed. `npx tsc --noEmit -p
.`: clean.
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts -t
governed`: 12 passed.
- `pnpm verify` returned exit 2 (test file outside resolved graphs).
Required CI supplies the broad coverage.
- Live restart-chaos wave: see the comment below with the wave id and
result.

## Risks

- Low. The rule loosens only the sequence check, and only after the
saved trigger, and only for facts that the drain itself retains and that
carry no work authority. Identity checks stay strict. A non-accounting
event after a gap still fails closed.
- No change to the normal start path or turn startup (fast-turn rule).
- No schema, protocol or env change. The pack `contractDigest` and
provider `commandDigest` do not change. No Daytona image rebuild is
necessary.

## Model Used

- Anthropic Claude, model ID `claude-opus-5-5`, used through Claude Code
with tool use (shell, file edits, test runs).

DottaandClaude 1e13c58a4e fix(heartbeat): name the cause of generic adapter failures and keep SQL text off the board (#20483)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Heartbeat run settlement records why a run failed, and the board
shows that record.
> - Runs that fail without a named code settle as `adapter_failed` (or
`setup_failed`) with no cause.
> - A user, an operator, and the restart chaos harness cannot tell what
went wrong from such a run.
> - Some run errors also show raw SQL statement text to users.
> - This pull request records a bounded `failureCause` code for generic
failures, shows it on the board, and keeps SQL text out of run errors.
> - The benefit is that a generic failure now names its cause, for
example "adapter failed (40001)", without leaking messages, SQL, or
secrets.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20385 (the nested-cause extraction this change reuses). Related:
#20421 (restart chaos universal checks U1-U4).

**What happened?**

The restart chaos audit of 79 saved waves found 30 failed runs with
`errorCode: "adapter_failed"` and a null or generic error. Every U3
("diagnosable") warning was `adapter_failed`. Nobody could tell what
failed. Some board run errors also showed raw SQL statement text from
wrapped database errors (Drizzle `Failed query: ... params: ...`).

**Expected behavior**

A run that fails with a generic code names a short, safe cause. The
board shows the cause next to the stop reason. Run error text never
shows SQL statements or their parameters.

**Steps to reproduce**

Make an adapter throw a wrapped database error (an `Error` whose nested
`cause` has `code: "40001"` and whose message has a Drizzle `Failed
query:` statement). Before this change, the run settles as
`adapter_failed` with no cause, and `heartbeat_runs.error` contains the
SQL statement and parameters. The new tests in
`server/src/services/heartbeat/run-completion.test.ts` reproduce this.

## What Changed

- Runner: move the #20385 event-commit cause extraction into
`safeErrorCauseCode`
(`packages/paperclip-runner/src/control-plane/safe-error-cause.ts`) and
export it. The Runner's own diagnostics use the same function, unchanged
in behavior.
- Shared: add the `failureCause` contract
(`packages/shared/src/run-failure-cause.ts`): one `[A-Za-z0-9_.:-]`
token of at most 80 characters, `normalizeRunFailureCause`,
`readRunFailureCause`, and `withoutSqlStatementText`.
- Server: add `server/src/services/heartbeat/run-failure-cause.ts`.
Settlement records `resultJson.failureCause` only when the code is
generic (`adapter_failed`, `setup_failed`). `errorCode` stays the same.
- Thrown errors (`failRun`, `failRunSetup`): `provider_http_<status>`,
else `provider_<category>`, else the first safe code in the error and up
to three nested causes (`40001`, `ECONNRESET`), else the error class
name, else `unknown_error`.
- Adapter results without a code (`completeRun`): the error family,
`signal_<name>`, `process_cancellation_failed`, `exit_code_<n>`,
`adapter_reported_error`, or `unknown_error`.
- The failure log lines (`heartbeat execution failed`, `heartbeat
execution setup failed`, and a new `heartbeat run failed` warning for
generic adapter results) include `failureCause` and `errorCode`.
- Server: replace SQL statement text in run error text with "Database
query failed (<cause>)" at all three settlement paths, including the
cancelled branch. The execution blocker's `runError`, the attention
inbox (failed-run excerpt and metadata), and continuation summaries
apply the same replacement on read, so older rows also stop showing SQL
there.
- Server: Retry admission and failed-preparation replay accept only a
closed set of `resultJson` keys. `failureCause` is added to each of
those lists (`task-retry.ts`, `chat-channels/failed-run-retry.ts`,
`cancelled-native-startup.ts`, `fresh-workspace-continuation.ts`). It is
a diagnostic code with no execution or replay authority, so a
failed-preparation run stays retryable.
- Server: `runsForIssue` returns a validated top-level `failureCause`.
It is null for older rows, non-string JSON values, and malformed values.
- UI: `RunForIssue.failureCause`; `IssueRunLedger` shows "adapter failed
(40001)". Older runs keep "adapter failed". The Storybook run-ledger
fixture has a failed run with a cause.
- Restart chaos harness: run samples keep `failureCause`. U3 treats a
generic code with a specific `failureCause` as diagnosable. A bare
`Error`, `unknown_error`, or the no-code fallback
`adapter_reported_error` still counts as vague. U3 stays a warning.
- Docs: `doc/run-log-events.md` and the harness README describe the
field and the SQL replacement.

## Verification

- Red before the fix: the four new `run-completion.test.ts` cases failed
against `origin/master`'s `run-completion.ts` (no `failureCause`, SQL
text in `error`).
- Green:
- `server/src/services/heartbeat/run-completion.test.ts`: all tests
passed (real embedded PostgreSQL). New cases cover a nested `40001`
three levels deep for execution and setup failures, SQL and a secret
parameter absent from `error` and `resultJson`, the bound (an
81-character code and a SQL "code" fall back to the class name),
`exit_code_137` for a code-less adapter result, a cancelled result with
SQL text, no cause for a named code, and the log line. On this loaded
host the suite's `afterAll` database teardown hit its 30 s hook limit
after every test passed (the known local teardown limit, also seen in
#20385). CI runs the suite.
- `server/src/services/heartbeat/run-failure-cause.test.ts` (4),
`server/src/__tests__/activity-service.test.ts` (recorded, legacy,
malformed, overlong, boolean, and number cause projections),
`server/src/__tests__/issue-continuation-summary.test.ts` (legacy SQL
row).
- `packages/shared/src/run-failure-cause.test.ts` (6),
`ui/src/components/IssueRunLedger.test.tsx` (21), restart chaos
`universal.test.ts` and `observer.test.ts`.
-
`packages/paperclip-runner/src/control-plane/durable-prp-control-plane.test.ts`:
207 passed (the stall-diagnostic cases still read `40001` and
`ECONNRESET`).
- Typecheck: shared, runner, server (all layers), UI, restart chaos
harness. `pnpm check:token-gates`: all gates clean.
- `pnpm verify` returned exit 2 (global doc input changed); required CI
supplies broad coverage.
- CI on `6295f8d` found that the new key made failed-preparation runs
ineligible for Retry (`chat-channels.integration.test.ts` saved
board-message Retry got 409;
`workspace-recovery-preparation-dispatch.test.ts` dispatched 0 Retries).
Both reproduced locally and pass after the allowlist fix, with the other
459 Retry cases in `chat-channels.integration.test.ts` and all 25 in
`workspace-recovery-preparation-dispatch.test.ts`.
- No chaos waves were run. Storybook was not opened in a browser; the
fixture typechecks and the label is covered by the UI test.

## Risks

- Low risk. `errorCode` values do not change, so retry, recovery, and
comparison logic is unaffected.
- No schema change and no migration. `failureCause` is a new optional
`resultJson` key. Rows saved by the previous release have no key and
render as before; a new row read by an old server is ignored.
- The SQL replacement only acts on a Drizzle `Failed query:` marker, or
on `$n` placeholder text with a statement shape. Ordinary error text
does not change. When it acts, it also drops the text after the
statement.
- Code that checks `resultJson` against a closed key list must allow
`failureCause`. I found and updated the four lists on the Retry path; a
list I missed would refuse a Retry for a run with a generic failure.
- This is the run log / instance database path. It adds no Telemetry
event.
- The server failure log line still logs the raw error message
(unchanged behavior); only the board-facing text is changed.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (Anthropic), model ID `claude-opus-5-5`, used through
Claude Code with tool use (shell, file editing) and code execution for
tests.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 549ca46dae fix(runner): retain Claude GitHub broker settings through the Rust sidecar (#20463)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people manage AI agents for work.
> - Shared agents use the instructing person's GitHub identity for
managed commands.
> - Native Claude starts through the Rust daemon and a TypeScript ACPX
sidecar.
> - The Rust launch filter kept the command launchers but removed their
broker transport.
> - Shell commands then reported `GitHub capability_missing`, although
connector tools worked.
> - This pull request retains that transport for managed Claude
launches.
> - Each command can acquire its current identity through the existing
broker checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Native Claude could use GitHub connector tools but could not
authenticate `git` or `gh`. The Rust daemon removed the broker URL and
session/bridge capabilities before starting the ACPX sidecar.
Reconnecting the account did not repair this process environment.

**Expected behavior**

Managed shell commands use the current authorized GitHub identity. The
provider receives broker capabilities, while raw GitHub tokens remain
confined to individual commands.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start native Claude through the Rust Runner with managed GitHub
launchers.
2. Run `gh api user` and a private repository ref lookup through Bash.
3. Observe `capability_missing` and no request to the broker.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced from source at `2c2186706ef4bb352b662f9d8faebefe47fb52ac`.
The repair is based on `a5e01634f69f18dfe10a0bf709df02d9e6a2135b`.

**Deployment mode**

Native Claude through ACPX. Local acceptance used macOS arm64 and Node
25.6.1. The reported failure also affected a Linux sandbox.

Related: #18212 preserved launcher paths. #18850 repaired the TypeScript
filter. This change repairs the preceding Rust filter. The duplicate
search found no open repair for this boundary. ROADMAP.md already lists
managed personal GitHub identities.

## What Changed

- Retain the broker URL and both broker capabilities when Claude has a
nonempty managed launcher directory.
- Keep raw GitHub tokens, unrelated secrets, empty launcher
configurations, and sibling ACPX providers outside that exception.
- Exercise the regression through the public sidecar initialize protocol
in the existing Rust integration suite. Document the restart
requirement.

The Rust sidecar transport owns this filter. Credential resolution,
company access, approval, and run identity policies keep their existing
owners. No schema or API changes are needed.

## Verification

- Red/green: the subprocess regression failed on the missing
`PAPERCLIP_GITHUB_BROKER_URL` before the fix, then passed with all three
broker settings and the negative controls.
- Passed before moving the regression: 615 Rust core tests, with 3
existing ignored tests. After moving it into the integration suite, all
20 sidecar integration tests and the 9 remaining sidecar unit controls
pass. The moved regression was also run against the unfixed source and
failed on the missing broker URL.
- Passed: 85 TypeScript environment, launcher, sandbox, and
configured-environment controls. These include operation identity
changes, revocation, recovery, and exclusion of capabilities from
persisted environment data.
- Passed: Runner Rust typecheck and format check, plus the Runner build
through `node scripts/agent-preflight.mjs --skip-rust-debug`.
- Live before/after: real `claude-opus-5-5` through the actual Rust
daemon and built ACPX sidecar reproduced the failure with the old
binary. Neither shell command reached the broker. With the fixed binary,
`gh` identified the connected account and `git` read private repository
refs. A second turn retained a workspace file and authenticated again.
After the controlled broker denied access, the next command failed
without reusing the prior token. No GitHub writes were made.
- Live release cutover: saved a session with the unfixed daemon,
suspended it, and restored it with the repaired daemon on
`aa9f5b30614c011ebc3fe4509e11173b766c1fea`. The same session and
workspace marker survived. `gh` authenticated after restoration, then
failed when the controlled broker revoked access.
- Live acceptance used an Anthropic API credential and a loopback broker
with an authorized operator GitHub credential. This isolates the
repaired transport; it does not qualify the hosted subscription
credential or production grant resolver.
- The first PR review gate did not recognize the in-source Rust test.
The regression now lives in the existing integration test file, and the
same test-coverage gate passes locally.
- `pnpm verify` returned its documented exit 2 and required broad CI
coverage. The final head passed the full CI typecheck, build, and test
lanes.

- Greptile reviewed `64cca69b76073cc3185b28334465dee48fbadb29` at 5/5
with no actionable findings or open review threads. Its check passed on
that head. The same head is mergeable with no conflicts.

- Final head `64cca69b76073cc3185b28334465dee48fbadb29` passed [full PR
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42761401396),
[Windows
Rust](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42761401117),
and [isolated Runner
compilation](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42761400973).
Typecheck, build, all test shards, Runner checks, browser checks, and
aggregate verification passed. No checks are pending or failed; five
conditional jobs were skipped.

## Risks

- The Claude sidecar now receives the intended broker capabilities. The
existing broker must continue to enforce active-run identity and current
connection access. Raw GitHub tokens remain excluded from the provider
launch environment.
- Previous-release checkpoint and profile formats carry forward
unchanged. A running provider must retire and restart normally to
inherit the repaired environment. No profile reset or data migration is
required.
- Hosted recovery requires delivery of the updated Runner binary. This
PR does not deploy or retry existing tasks. Live acceptance has not
exercised Linux sandbox confinement or a GitHub write.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` through Codex, with xhigh reasoning. Used
repository inspection, code editing, and shell execution. The context
window size is not exposed. Anthropic `claude-opus-5-5` was exercised as
the acceptance-test provider.

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 ff4ba7d319 perf(runner): run launch artifacts in place from a trusted read-only root (#20428)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The Rust Runner (`paperclip-runnerd`) starts provider sidecars and
proxies from qualified launch artifacts: a Node runtime and the scripts
it runs
> - Since #12699, Runner copies each artifact into a sealed memfd and
checks its SHA-256 on every verification. This defends against a path
swap or an in-place rewrite between the check and the exec
> - On a hosted agent computer (4 vCPU), the copy and digest of the 127
MB Node takes about 0.26–0.30 s warm and about 1.2 s right after a wake.
This is on the path from `session.open` to the sidecar spawn, and again
on every warm `run.attach`. Each Runner also holds about 125 MiB of
shmem for the copy
> - On that computer, the artifacts live on the Runner ROM: a read-only
erofs image that the deploy pins by digest. The threat that the memfd
defends against does not exist there. On local hosts the artifacts are
writable, so the memfd must stay
> - This pull request adds an explicit, path-scoped, default-off
`--trusted-launch-root <dir>`. Runner runs an artifact in place only
when its open descriptor proves that it is on an immutable mount under
that root. Everything else keeps the sealed, hashed snapshot
> - The benefit is a shorter `session.open` and `run.attach` on agent
computers, and about 125 MiB less shmem per Runner, with no change where
the flag is absent

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Launch-artifact verification in `paperclip-runnerd`
(`qualified_launch.rs`). Its callers are the ACPX `verified_transport`
(every `session_config`, including the park rebind) and the OpenCode and
Cursor Cloud proxy launches.

**Subsystem affected**
Rust Runner (`packages/paperclip-runner/runner/crates/runner-core`).

**Current behavior**
Every verification opens the artifact, copies all bytes into a sealed
memfd, and hashes them. Node is 127 MB. The cost is described in the
Thinking Path.

**Proposed behavior**
When the host passes `--trusted-launch-root /opt/paperclip/runner` and
the root passes its checks, Runner holds each admitted artifact open in
place and executes it through `/proc/self/fd/N`. It does not copy or
re-hash it. Without the flag, nothing changes.

**Reason and benefit**
See the Thinking Path.

Refs #12699 (introduced the sealed memfd). Refs #20423 (overlap, see
below).

## What Changed

- `qualified_launch.rs`: new `TrustedLaunchRoot` and
`set_trusted_launch_root` (process-global, set once at startup, like
`--task-memory-cgroup`).
- **Root checks at startup.** The path must be absolute, already
canonical (no symlink or `..`), a directory, and on a read-only,
exec-permitted erofs or squashfs mount. If a check fails, runnerd logs a
warning and keeps today's behavior.
- **Per-artifact checks, on the open descriptor.** After today's checks
(regular file, not a symlink, not group- or world-writable, open-time
identity), the descriptor must be a regular file on the root's device.
Its kernel path (`readlink /proc/self/fd/N`) must lie under the root by
path components, so `/opt/paperclip/runner2` does not match. Its mount
must pass `fstatvfs` (`ST_RDONLY` set, `ST_NOEXEC` clear) and `fstatfs`
(erofs or squashfs magic). If any check fails, Runner logs the reason
and uses the sealed snapshot.
- **Admitted artifacts** become
`VerifiedProcessArtifact::in_place_on_trusted_root` (crate-private). The
held file goes through the existing `inherited_artifact` path, so the
exec is `/proc/self/fd/N` and `PAPERCLIP_VERIFIED_RUNTIME_EXECUTABLE`
still names a descriptor that nested launches can reopen.
- New `verify_assigned_executable_launch_artifact` never uses the root.
`stdio_mcp.rs` now calls it, so host-assigned stdio MCP binaries always
keep the sealed snapshot.
- `paperclip-runnerd.rs`: parse `--trusted-launch-root <dir>`. Older
runnerd builds ignore unknown flags, so a host can pass it before every
Runner understands it.
- The trusted path is Linux-only. On macOS and Windows,
`TrustedLaunchRoot::open` always refuses.
- `tests/runner-e2e/SECURITY.md`: documents how the Kimi and Pi
provider-death fixtures behave under a trusted root.

### Decision: the trusted path drops the digest

The trusted path does not hash the artifact, not even once per process:
- The ROM image is pinned by digest at deploy time.
- On the agent computer, the Launcher computes the expected
`--acpx-sidecar-command-sha256` and `--acpx-sidecar-script-sha256` from
the same ROM files immediately before it starts Runner. A re-hash of an
immutable file can only repeat that result.
- One hash per process would not help `session.open`, because each task
starts a new Runner process.
- The mount check is the guard: erofs and squashfs have no write path,
so the bytes cannot change while the descriptor is open.

### Fixtures that assert the sealed memfd

- Untrusted-mode assertions are unchanged. The fixtures do not pass the
flag.
- Kimi (`kimi-provider-fault.py` `checked_parent_descriptor`): with a
trusted root, the parent descriptor is the ROM's Node file (one link).
The existing linked-descriptor branch handles it: same inode as
`/proc/<pid>/exe`, and the complete bytes hashed against `nodeSha256`.
That branch never accepts the file as a memfd. The existing test
`test_linked_descriptor_keeps_regular_single_link_checks_without_memfd_claim`
covers it.
- Pi provider-death admission binds `/proc/self/fd/3|7` to the native
distribution snapshot's Node. The TypeScript ACPX closure copies that
file whether or not a trusted root is set, so the flag does not affect
it.

### Overlap with #20423

#20423 (draft) moves the same copy and hash to Runner boot and reuses
the result. Where this flag is set (Cloud agent computers), there is
nothing left to precompute, so #20423 is mostly redundant there. #20423
still helps hosts without a trusted root (local and sandbox Runners).
This PR does not change #20423.

## Verification

All runs are on Linux (aarch64, Rust 1.97.1, in a container):
- `cargo fmt --manifest-path runner/Cargo.toml --all -- --check`
- `cargo check --manifest-path runner/Cargo.toml --locked --workspace`
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --lib -- qualified_launch
trusted_root commonjs`: 12 passed. The new tests are:
-
`an_artifact_under_an_immutable_trusted_root_runs_in_place_without_a_digest`:
trusted-root hit, with no memfd, the same inode as the source, and no
re-hash.
- `an_artifact_outside_the_trusted_root_keeps_the_sealed_snapshot`: a
path outside the root is sealed, and a wrong digest still fails.
- `a_sibling_with_the_root_as_a_name_prefix_is_outside_the_root`:
`rom2/` does not match `rom`.
- `a_root_that_is_not_read_only_falls_back_to_the_sealed_snapshot`: the
real probe refuses a writable root at startup. A per-artifact mount
failure falls back, and a wrong digest still fails.
  - `the_real_mount_probe_rejects_a_writable_filesystem`
- `symlink_and_parent_escapes_from_the_root_fall_back`: a directory
symlink out of the root, a `..` path out of the root, and a
final-component symlink (still refused).
  - `a_root_must_be_absolute_canonical_and_a_directory`
- `without_a_trusted_root_launch_artifacts_are_sealed_and_hashed`: flag
absent, behavior unchanged.
  - `host_assigned_executables_ignore_the_trusted_root`
-
`trusted_root_artifacts_execute_the_held_file_and_reopen_it_for_nested_launches`:
Runner execs from the held file, and a child re-execs
`$PAPERCLIP_VERIFIED_RUNTIME_EXECUTABLE`. Both report the source file as
`/proc/self/exe`.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --test stdio_mcp --test
process_supervisor`: 4 and 8 passed.
- Ad hoc, not committed: a privileged container with a real loop-mounted
squashfs. The real `fstatvfs`/`fstatfs` probe admitted a `ro` mount and
refused a `ro,noexec` mount. The unit tests replace only that mount
probe, because CI cannot mount filesystems.
- Not verified: a run on an agent computer with the real erofs ROM, and
the latency and memory savings there. The Cloud Launcher change that
passes the flag is a separate follow-up.

## Risks

- **This change needs review from a security owner before merge.** It
removes the sealed copy and the per-launch digest for admitted
artifacts. That relies on the host's assertion that the root is a
digest-pinned immutable image, plus the descriptor checks above.
- **Misconfiguration fails closed.** A wrong, writable, `noexec`,
non-canonical or missing root only loses the speedup, and runnerd logs a
warning. There is no global "trust everything" switch, and Runner never
selects a root from the filesystem it finds.
- **Residual trust.** On an admitted file, Runner no longer detects a
ROM image that differs from what the launch profile expected. On the
agent computer, the Launcher derives the expected digests from the same
ROM. Another host that passes the flag must pin its image the same way.
An attacker with root in the guest (who could write the backing block
device or remount) is out of scope; such an attacker can already control
runnerd.
- **Allowlist.** Only erofs and squashfs are accepted, because they
cannot be written through any mount. A read-only bind mount of a
writable filesystem is refused. A ROM that changes to another filesystem
type will silently fall back to the sealed path (slower, still safe).
- No migration. Behavior is unchanged when the flag is absent. Older
runnerd builds ignore the flag.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 3a5572c9e5 Extend login PTY contracts for existing computers (#20410)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent execution across environments.
> - Environment providers own execution resources.
> - Codex and Claude already share the login PTY transport.
> - A login on an existing computer needs its own allocation and
deadline.
> - Input retries must retain their identity.
> - Codex also needs a fixed credential-file read; Claude already
returns its token through PTY output.
> - This change extends the shared contract and keeps both existing
provider parsers.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Problem**

The existing login contract assumes a temporary sandbox. It cannot
describe a login allocation on an existing computer or export its fixed
credential result without generic execution.

**Proposed solution**

Add shared allocation purpose, command identity, PTY deadline, and input
identity fields for both Codex and Claude. Add one optional
credential-result hook for Codex's auth.json file.

**Alternatives considered**

A separate Claude login implementation would duplicate the current
setup-token parser and owner-bound credential writer. Claude continues
to use that existing path. The new artifact hook is Codex-specific
because Claude's setup-token result comes through the existing shared
PTY output stream.

## What Changed

- Export the login contract types from the main SDK entry point.
- Forward login purpose and command through plugin allocation and retain
them in lease metadata.
- Forward the PTY deadline and give each input write a stable identity.
- End a login route when the worker cannot confirm input delivery.
- Preserve the opening company scope for input, stop, and close
callbacks.
- Advertise and dispatch the optional fixed Codex credential-result
hook.

The allocation, deadline, input, output, and cleanup contracts serve
both providers. This PR does not enable either provider on an existing
computer. The dependent consumer PR connects admission, services,
credential completion, and UI for both providers.

## Verification

- Close-ordering regression: all 91 host worker-manager tests passed,
including concurrent close callers waiting behind a held plugin
acknowledgement after input failure. Server TypeScript check passed. All
current CI gates, ordinary review, and the selected follow-up review
pass on a39fb59bd1.

- Shared and SDK TypeScript builds passed.
- SDK worker dispatch: 31 tests passed.
- Host worker-manager: 90 tests passed, including a nested
worker-to-host scope guard.
- Environment runtime with embedded PostgreSQL: 197 tests passed.
- Added absent-hook, input-failure, and allocation-forwarding checks.
- A running instance is not required to validate this SDK-only
increment. Real provider acceptance follows after the dependent hooks
are connected.

## Risks

The hook and fields are optional. Existing sandbox providers keep their
current path. Failed input delivery now ends its route instead of
waiting for the deadline. There is no database migration.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning and code execution. The exact
runtime model identifier and context size are not exposed to this agent.

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.

tool use (shell, file edits, local PostgreSQL benchmarks).

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.

**Subsystem affected**
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 60a60a0cd1 fix(opencode): attribute unreadable tool-result images to the tool (#20399)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The Paperclip runner drives OpenCode agents. It sends their
OpenRouter and Paperclip-connection model calls through a local provider
proxy.
> - An agent often takes a screenshot of its own work and reads it to
verify the result.
> - OpenCode 1.18.34 cannot put images in OpenAI-compatible tool
results. It moves them into a synthetic user message ("Attached media
from tool result:"). For a text-only model, it replaces the image with
"ERROR: Cannot read image (this model does not support image input).
Inform the user."
> - The model reads that text as a message from the person. In a chat
eval, a DeepSeek worker redid its verification for about 5 minutes,
registered its deliverable twice, and ran out of the 15-minute attempt
clock.
> - This pull request moves that notice into the tool result that
produced the image, worded as a runner note, and removes the synthetic
user message.
> - The benefit is that a text-only agent sees a clear tool outcome and
continues its work. It does not mistake the notice for the person.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
An OpenCode agent on `openrouter/deepseek/deepseek-v4.1-flash-1017` read
a PNG screenshot that it made. The next model request contained a
user-role message with the text "Attached media from tool result: ERROR:
Cannot read image (this model does not support image input). Inform the
user." The model reasoned "The previous input from the user was ..." and
repeated finished work.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run OpenCode 1.18.34 with an `@ai-sdk/openai-compatible` provider and
a model that has no image input.
2. Have the model call the `read` tool on a PNG file.
3. Inspect the next chat-completions request. The last message is the
synthetic user message above.

**Expected behavior**
The model must get the notice as part of the tool result, not as a
message from the person.

**Environment**
Paperclip runner, OpenCode 1.18.34 (qualified pin), OpenRouter and
Paperclip-connection model routes.

## What Changed

- Add
`packages/paperclip-runner/src/drivers/opencode/tool-media-attribution.ts`.
It finds the OpenCode synthetic attachment message only when it directly
follows tool results. It moves each "Cannot read ..." or "empty or
corrupted" notice into the last tool result of that step as a runner
note. It keeps readable media in the synthetic message. It removes the
message when no media remains.
- The OpenCode provider proxy applies this rewrite before it forwards a
request. It re-serializes the body only when something changed.
- Messages written by a person are never changed. A person who attaches
an image to a text-only model still gets "Inform the user", which is
correct for that case.
- Add unit tests for the rewrite and an integration test through the
real provider proxy.

## Verification

- Red: the new proxy test failed before the change (`expected ... to
have a length of 4 but got 5`).
- Green: `npx vitest run
src/drivers/opencode/opencode-server-driver.test.ts
src/drivers/opencode/tool-media-attribution.test.ts` (82 tests pass).
`tsc --noEmit -p packages/paperclip-runner` is clean.
- Real binary: I ran the real OpenCode 1.18.34 binary with a mock
OpenAI-compatible server and had the model read a PNG. The captured
request has exactly the message shape that the test fixture uses.
- `pnpm verify` returned exit 2 (test files outside the resolved
graphs). Required CI supplies broad coverage.
- A paid live run of
`chat-features.runner-opencode.local.task-coordination.delegate-with-context`
will follow in a PR comment.

## Risks

- Low risk. The rewrite matches the exact OpenCode 1.18.34 strings. If a
future OpenCode version changes them, the rewrite does nothing and the
old behavior returns. It does not fail the request.
- The rewrite is deterministic, so prompt-cache prefixes stay stable
across requests.
- No persisted state changes. OpenCode history stays as it is. Sessions
saved before this change also get the rewrite when they resume.
- Providers that do not use the runner provider proxy are not covered by
this change.

## Model Used

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 50df9a19b9 perf(inbox): read only the execution workspaces Mine rows reference (#20388)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The Mine inbox is the first page a board user opens to see the tasks
that need them
> - The page loaded the company's full execution-workspace summary list
and kept task rows hidden until that list arrived
> - On a company with thousands of workspaces, that read checks each
workspace row against the privacy predicate. It was the slowest request
on the page
> - The inbox needs workspace names only for the workspaces its rows
reference, and only when the view shows workspace data
> - This pull request adds an `ids` filter to the summary read, makes
the inbox request only referenced workspaces, and stops rows from
waiting for workspace data when the view does not show it
> - The benefit is that Mine rows appear when the task data arrives, and
the workspace read becomes a small bounded query

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The Mine inbox (`/:companyPrefix/issues?view=mine`) shows its task rows
late on companies with many execution workspaces.

**Subsystem affected**
Board UI inbox and the execution-workspace summary API.

**Current behavior**
The page calls `GET
/api/companies/:id/execution-workspaces?summary=true` with no filter. On
a large company this returned 8,758 rows (2.5 MB) and took 12.3 s on the
server. The reveal gate included this read, so rows appeared at 13.4 s
although `inbox/mine` arrived at 1.6 s.

**Proposed behavior**
The inbox requests summaries only for the workspaces its rows reference.
Rows appear when the Mine task data arrives, unless the view shows
workspace data.

**Reason and benefit**
The workspace read becomes a small bounded query, and it leaves the
critical path for the default Mine view.

**Breaking changes**
None. The `ids` parameter is optional and additive.

## What Changed

- `packages/shared`: add `executionWorkspaceSummaryIdsQuerySchema`
(comma-separated UUIDs, 1–100 distinct values) and
`EXECUTION_WORKSPACE_SUMMARY_IDS_MAX`.
- `server`: `GET /companies/:companyId/execution-workspaces` accepts
`ids`. Bad input returns 422. The service adds
`inArray(execution_workspaces.id, ids)`. The company scope and the actor
read condition still apply, so privacy does not change.
- `ui/src/api/execution-workspaces.ts`: `listSummaries` accepts `ids`.
New `listSummariesByIds` reads ids in chunks of 100 and concatenates the
results.
- `ui/src/pages/Inbox.tsx`: the workspace query is keyed on the sorted
distinct `executionWorkspaceId`s of the rows the inbox holds (Mine,
touched, context and remote search issues). It uses `keepPreviousData`
and runs only when isolated workspaces are on and at least one id
exists.
- Reveal gate: rows wait for the workspace read only when workspace data
changes what the rows show. This is workspace grouping, a visible
Workspace column, or an active search (workspace names are searchable).
Otherwise rows reveal without it.
- Tests: route ids pass-through and 422 cases (non-uuid, empty,
separators only, more than 100); service test for the id filter with
company scope and the read condition; UI api chunking test; Inbox tests
for "rows reveal while the workspace read is pending when no workspace
column or grouping is active", rows waiting when the Workspace column is
visible, and "shows the resolved isolated workspace name" with the
id-filtered call.

Follow-ups (not changed here, they still read the unfiltered list):
- `ui/src/pages/LegacyInbox.tsx:772`
- `ui/src/components/IssuesList.tsx:985`
- `ui/src/components/LegacyIssuesList.tsx:888`
- `ui/src/components/NewIssueDialog.tsx:570` (filtered by project and
reuse, but not by ids)

## Verification

Focused checks on this revision:
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/execution-workspaces-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/execution-workspaces-service.test.ts -t "summar|ids"`: 14
passed (embedded Postgres ran the service test).
- `cd ui && npx vitest run src/api/execution-workspaces.test.ts
src/pages/Inbox.test.tsx`: all passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server --filter @paperclipai/ui --filter
@paperclipai/shared typecheck`: passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates`: clean.
- `pnpm verify` selected 2,481 Vitest files (the shared validator change
reaches most suites). I stopped it at a 25-minute limit on a heavily
loaded shared host. Before the limit, three server tests outside this
change failed: `agent-commentary-skills` (skill mount),
`agent-config-read-access` (24.8 s timeout) and
`agent-directory-working-copies`. Required CI supplies the full
coverage.
- Review fix `fc3f82dae0`: when workspace data is visible, the reveal
gate also waits while `keepPreviousData` supplies the previous id set's
summaries. A new test switches Mine → Recent to a new workspace and
checks the Recent row stays hidden until its workspace loads. It fails
without the change.
- Follow-up commits `bf34f84823` and `8fc743b5ca` add a 100-row Mine
test with a counted workspace id scan. It fails with the old `= []`
defaults and passes with the stable `NO_ISSUES` default.

Performance (local, synthetic fixture):
- Instance: isolated worktree instance, `authenticated` mode, signed in
as a non-admin company member so the real workspace privacy predicate
runs. Production UI bundle (`PAPERCLIP_UI_DEV_MIDDLEWARE=false`).
Headless Chromium 1440×900, a new browser context per run (cold HTTP
cache and cold query cache). macOS, Apple Silicon, with other local
sessions running.
- Fixture: 8,750 execution workspaces (each with a source task and a
privacy-source key), 38,750 tasks, 150 Mine tasks; the Mine snapshot
returns 100 rows that reference 100 workspaces.
- Finish event: the first `[data-slot="task-row"]` is in the DOM.

| Measurement | Before (`02bfe71a6b`) | After |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Cold time to rows, median of 7 | 1,209 ms (1,046–1,312) | 702 ms
(567–1,209) |
| Workspace summary read, server wait (time to first byte), median of 7
| 496 ms unfiltered, 2.0 MB | 18 ms with 100 ids, 22 KB |

The difference of medians is 507 ms. This is close to the unfiltered
read's wait on this fixture (about 550–590 ms in the browser runs). The
runs were sequential batches, not alternating pairs.

Limits: this fixture does not reproduce the 12.3 s server time seen on
the development instance. Here the unfiltered read cost 0.5–1.7 s and
grew with the company's task count. The browser gain on the original
instance should be close to that instance's unfiltered read time, but I
did not measure it there.

## Risks

- Low risk. The `ids` filter only narrows the existing query. It does
not change the read condition or the company scope.
- A row whose workspace is not readable by the actor shows no workspace
name, as before.
- When the Workspace column or grouping is visible, rows still wait for
the workspace read. That read is now small.
- When the id set changes, the query refetches all chunks. Before a view
first reveals, rows wait for the new summaries if workspace data is
visible. After that, the previous names stay visible while a refresh
loads.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, via Claude Code with
tool use (shell, file edit, headless browser). Extended reasoning on.

DottaandPaperclip b09f17fbfd fix(agents): repair queued setup through task connection cards (#20361)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents doing work for people.
> - Agent verification must finish before an accepted task can start.
> - A missing AI account default can prevent verification before a
provider starts.
> - Lifecycle policy treated that owned configuration refusal as a
temporary failure and retried each minute.
> - The accepted turn remained Queued without explaining the
prerequisite.
> - Park account configuration failures and reuse the task's existing
inline connection card.
> - Successful repair rechecks verification and releases the original
queued turn under its original authority.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?** An OpenCode agent selected the responsible user's
OpenRouter default, but that default did not exist. Verification retried
unchanged configuration indefinitely and its accepted task stayed
Queued.

**Expected behavior:** Preserve accepted work, explain the setup
prerequisite, and let the appropriate person repair it using the
existing task connection UI. Completion must verify the agent before
starting the same queued turn. Genuine pause, approval and access gates
remain effective.

**Reproduction:** Create an OpenCode Runner agent with a
responsible-user OpenRouter binding and no personal default; assign a
task while verification is pending. The base retries verification and
shows an unexplained queue.

Related: #18702 handles pending task connection recovery after account
repair. This PR handles the earlier agent-verification boundary. #20330
addresses a separate Codex governed-wait timeout and is already merged.

## What Changed

- Share owned account-selection failure evidence through a pure library
contract. Lifecycle policy parks those configuration failures with
fixed, redacted guidance; temporary infrastructure errors retain their
retries.
- Batch setup-state reads for unstarted queued turns. Distinguish manual
repair from automatic setup retries and preserve Stop, started/history
state and lifecycle holds.
- Reuse the existing `connection_intent` card, account selection and
completion APIs. Its controller-only `agentSetup` marker accepts only
never-started legacy turns; runtime tokens still require a running run.
- Address the card to the lifecycle verifier's account owner, preserving
the task's execution principal and private-task visibility. Attach
missing cards on admission, verification, startup and full recovery,
including retained retries and continuations. Repeated delivery and
publication remain bounded. A new queued turn supersedes the setup card
of a stopped turn; generic connection cards retain cross-run reuse.
- Recheck lifecycle verification after usable-account completion, then
release the existing turn through the normal readiness path. Preserve
decline, Stop, reassignment and changed setup-owner gates. Fence an
in-flight verification failure from overwriting a repair; add no
provider wake or recurring worker.
- Park owned account refusals during resume as well as initial
verification. Bind setup cards to the lifecycle operation, settle
obsolete deliveries, and keep explicit Retry guidance accurate.
- Reuse the router’s existing lifecycle pin for setup repair without
rerouting the task, advancing the pool cursor, or replacing its saved
binding. Legacy direct-account cards remain readable.
- Hide the incorrect Resume banner during setup, retaining genuine
manual/budget pause controls. Document the execution and retry contract.

## Verification

- Red: eight original behavior assertions failed on the base, including
the real selector's retry decision and the real batched queue
projection. Six owned selection cases failed classification.
Temporary-error presentation, different task/verifier users, retained
retry/continuation recovery and the setup Resume banner also have
failing-before/passing-after regressions.
- Green: 430 affected backend, lifecycle, shared-contract and UI tests
passed before the final review corrections. Subsequent focused runs
cover one inline card, real account selection/completion, duplicate
delivery/publication, verification before readiness, unchanged run
authority, private tasks, no extra provider wake,
decline/Stop/reassignment, company isolation, invalid runtime tokens,
transient retries and redacted diagnostics.
- Final setup/card and generic connection-service suites: 49 tests
passed. The stopped-turn case failed before the correction, then passed
with real account completion, the stopped source remaining cancelled,
and the replacement source remaining queued.
- After rebase, all 129 focused assertions passed. The local queue
suite’s 88 execution assertions passed repeatedly, but its
database-fixture teardown exceeded both 30-second and 120-second hooks.
An isolated queue case completed, and the setup/connection suites fully
passed. The original queue test and cleanup remain unchanged; broad CI
supplies the full-suite result.
- Server/UI typechecks, module boundaries, token gates and diff checks
passed. `pnpm verify --explain` requested broad CI because the
execution-contract document changed; no redundant full local suite was
substituted.
- Real source acceptance: macOS arm64, Node 26.4.0, isolated embedded
PostgreSQL and local board identity. Created an OpenCode/OpenRouter
agent and task through the API with no default. Admission retained one
unstarted turn and produced the existing inline Connect OpenRouter card.
The browser opened its credential form and closed it without entering
credentials. The same card/run persisted after server restart and
reload, with the setup label and no incorrect Resume. The browser also
reproduced Stop followed by a new queued turn retaining the stale card
on the prior head. On `12f609c98372fd1e50644028db75cfcc8deb210d`,
startup superseded the stale card and retained the same replacement
turn, with the original turn still cancelled and no provider execution.
- The earlier CI case-search failure also reproduces on exact base
`0e3fdebea8257bdff11573081c76b306f12db230` without this PR. Its repair
is now in master via #20371; this branch is rebased onto it and contains
no API-search changes.
- Staging's actual Runtime test returned “Connect an account and choose
your personal default” before provider startup. The original turn later
started independently on deployed code, then hit a separate
workspace-export failure. Automatic file recovery subsequently marked
that run successful; its task remains Blocked and the trial’s useful
output is unverified. This PR is not deployed; provider authentication
through its card and downstream publication remain unverified. No
account, credential, default, permission or binding was changed during
diagnosis.
- Previous revision review: Greptile 5/5 on
`12f609c98372fd1e50644028db75cfcc8deb210d`, with all four inline
findings addressed and resolved. [Full CI
passed](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42713494508)
on that revision: 59 successful checks, one neutral check and three
intentional skips, with no pending or failed checks.

- Latest revision `976bcae993805a8a2222395bbff9394f6791b424`: resume,
router and Retry-copy regressions failed before repair. Green: 92
lifecycle/setup/shared tests, 83 setup/generic-connection/router tests,
and 137 UI/shared tests. Server/UI typechecks, module boundaries and
token gates passed. [Full CI
passed](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42720731137)
on this exact revision: 59 successful checks and three intentional
skips, with no pending or failed checks. Greptile reviewed this head at
5/5; all six review findings are addressed and resolved. Real Stop/retry
acceptance retained the same replacement turn and current-operation card
through two actual server restarts, with no provider execution.

## Risks

- Known account configuration failures now require repair or explicit
Retry. Temporary failures keep automatic retries; accepted work and
authority remain intact.
- The projection adds one company-scoped batch read only for unstarted
queued turns. Card attachment examines at most 100 active candidates and
adds no timer, worker, schema or migration.
- The optional stored setup-card marker requires an aware reader during
rollback. No run/session/checkpoint identity format changes. Setup
presentation grants no access and cannot bypass verification or other
gates.

## Model Used

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 7e93ccb4b3 perf: fetch recent task summaries in one request (#20389)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The board UI sidebar shows the person's recent tasks on every page,
including the Mine inbox
> - The sidebar refreshes those rows through `GET
/companies/:id/issues/summaries`, which accepted at most five IDs
> - `useRecentTasks` sent the chunks one after another, so a 25-task
history cost five sequential requests
> - On staging each request took 3–6 s, so the recent-task rows settled
about 20 s after load and every request competed with the inbox rows
> - This pull request raises the per-request cap to 50 and fetches any
remaining chunks in parallel
> - The benefit is one summaries request for a typical history instead
of a serial chain

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The refresh of the sidebar's recent tasks on page load.

**Subsystem affected**
Board UI (`ui/src/hooks/useRecentTasks.ts`) and the `/issues/summaries`
route bound (`packages/shared`, `server/src/routes/issues.ts`).

**Current behavior**
A history of N recent tasks sends ceil(N/5) summaries requests in
series. Measured on staging on 2026-11-09 for a cold Mine load: five
requests of five IDs, started at 1.0 s, 4.3 s, 8.1 s, 12.3 s and 18.4 s,
each taking 3.3–6.1 s.

**Proposed behavior**
Up to 50 recent tasks are one request. Longer histories send their
chunks at the same time.

**Reason and benefit**
The staging server is saturated, so each extra serial round trip delays
the sidebar and the inbox rows. One request removes four round trips
from a typical load.

## What Changed

- `ISSUE_SUMMARIES_MAX_IDS` is now 50 (was 5). The shared validator, the
route's 400 message, the service guard and the OpenAPI description use
the new bound.
- `useRecentTasks` builds all chunks first and fetches them at most
three at a time (`RECENT_TASK_SUMMARY_CONCURRENCY`). The recent list has
no size cap, so this keeps a long history from becoming a burst. The
cache key, omission handling and pruning are unchanged. A failed chunk
still fails the batch, so nothing is pruned on a partial failure.
- Tests: the route test accepts exactly `MAX` IDs and rejects `MAX + 1`;
a hook test checks that at most three chunks are in flight; the API test
uses the constant; `useRecentTasks` tests cover a 25-task history in one
request and a 103-task history with three chunks in flight together,
with and without a failed chunk.
- New browser check
`tests/perf/collections/recent-task-summaries.spec.ts`: a Mine load with
a 12-task history sends summaries requests that each carry all 12 IDs,
and the server answers 200 with all 12 tasks.

## Verification

- `pnpm verify` (selected Vitest files) passes.
- `server`: `npx vitest run src/__tests__/issue-summaries-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/issue-display-status.test.ts` passes (embedded
PostgreSQL).
- `ui`: `npx vitest run src/hooks/useRecentTasks.test.tsx
src/api/issue-summaries.test.ts
src/components/task-chat/TaskChatBlockerLinks.test.tsx
src/components/CoordinatorSidebar.test.tsx
src/components/SidebarRecentTasks.test.tsx` passes.
- Browser check against a disposable local instance:
`PAPERCLIP_COLLECTION_PERF_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:<port> pnpm exec
playwright test --config tests/perf/collections/playwright.config.ts
recent-task-summaries.spec.ts`. It passes on this branch. With
`master`'s hook and constant it fails: three requests of 5, 5 and 2 IDs.

## Risks

- Low risk. The route still validates UUIDs, deduplicates, and applies
the same read authorization per row. Blocker attention is computed with
set-based queries, so 50 IDs is the same number of queries as 5.
- During a rolling deploy, a new UI against an old server would get a
400 for a history above five tasks. The server serves the UI bundle, so
both change together on a normal deploy. The sidebar keeps its stored
snapshot when the refresh fails.

## Model Used

tool use (shell, file edits, browser). 1M-token context window. Extended
thinking was off.

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 5858cef8f9 perf(runner): poll the provider right after an ACK releases it (#20374)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The Runner (`paperclip-runnerd`) sends provider events to the
controller over one authenticated socket
> - Its main loop reads one control frame, then polls the provider only
after a read finds no frame
> - After the controller ACKs the last sent event, the next read waits
the full 250 ms `RUNTIME_READ_TIMEOUT` before the Runner polls the
provider again
> - A Codex turn start needs one or two such rounds before the Runner
reads `turn/started`, so every Codex turn waits 250 ms or 500 ms for no
reason
> - This pull request reads only the frames that are already queued
after a consumed control frame, and then polls at once, when this
connection produced the unacknowledged output
> - The benefit is 250 ms less time to `turn/started` for each ACK
round, and faster event delivery after each ACK

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

This is an enhancement. The fields follow
`.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/enhancement.yml`.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Codex turns wait for the Runner read timeout before the Runner sends
`turn/started`.

**Subsystem affected**
The Runner (`paperclip-runnerd`) durable loop in
`packages/paperclip-runner/runner/crates/runner-core/src/durable/`, for
the local Codex provider.

**Current behavior**
On a hosted test deployment (48 h, 114 Codex turns),
`runner.transport.started_event` for Codex has two modes:

| Codex turn | n | `started_event` p50 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| no provider cold start in the trace | 57 | 468 ms (all < 700 ms) |
| provider cold start in the trace | 57 | 918 ms (51 of 57 ≥ 700 ms) |

For Claude (ACPX) turns, the p50 is 90 ms. ACPX returns `turn.started`
with the command result. Codex reads `turn/started` from the provider in
a later poll.

**Proposed behavior**
The Runner polls the provider as soon as the controller ACK releases the
poll gate. The time to `turn/started` then follows the controller round
trip, not the read timeout.

**Reason and benefit**
- Real Codex (`codex app-server` 0.157, local) sends `turn/started` 2–16
ms after its `turn/start` response. The provider is not the cause.
- `runner.transport.started_event` starts when the `turn.start` command
result arrives. It ends when the controller commits `turn.started`. In
this time the Runner sends `turn.accepted`, waits for its ACK, waits 250
ms, polls, and sends `turn.started`.
- On the first turn after a provider launch, the first poll returns only
the launch diagnostic that the executor retained. A second ACK round and
a second 250 ms wait come before the poll that reads `turn/started`.
This is the difference between the two modes above (about 450 ms: 250 ms
wait and one event round).
- So 250 ms (warm turn) or 500 ms (first turn) of each Codex
`started_event` is the read timeout. The rest is one or two controller
event rounds (about 200 ms each on that deployment), less than 20 ms of
Codex time, and the 10 ms pump interval of the TypeScript transport.
- The expected benefit is 250 ms less per warm Codex turn start and 500
ms less for the first turn after a provider launch, plus faster Codex
event delivery after each ACK.

**Breaking changes**
None. No protocol, schema, or controller change.

## What Changed

- `AuthenticatedTransport::receive_queued_json` reads with a 1 ms
timeout and then restores `RUNTIME_READ_TIMEOUT`.
- New `CommandExecutor::provider_poll_is_live` hook (default `false`).
The local Codex executor returns `true` only when it owns a running
provider with no open startup attempt, so a poll cannot restore or
launch a provider. The native executor forwards it for the local Codex
facade only.
- In the steady-state loop, after a consumed control frame, the Runner
uses `receive_queued_json` when it has sent output that this connection
produced (a command or a provider poll) and the executor reports a live
provider. If no frame is queued, it polls the provider at once.
- When a provider poll returns no output, or when no frame was consumed,
the Runner uses the 250 ms read as before. A 1 ms read follows only a
consumed frame, so an idle loop does not spin.
- The replay boundary is the highest source sequence before the
welcome's pending commands run. A fresh command delivered in the welcome
counts as this connection's output. Replayed commands only resend their
stored results.
- Replayed output from an earlier connection or process, ACPX, and the
other providers keep the 250 ms read. The controller can still send its
next command before a poll restores a provider. (Without the
live-provider gate, six ACPX source-recovery tests in
`runnerd-acpx-source-reconciliation.test.ts` failed: the fast poll
restored the ACPX sidecar before the next recovery command.)
- Control frames that are already queued behind the ACK are still read
and executed before the provider poll. The ACK gate in
`poll_executor_events_after_controller_ack` is unchanged.

## Verification

- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --lib durable::` (121 passed).
Five new tests in `src/durable/tests/ack_release_poll.rs`, included by
the transport test module like `hosted_retention.rs`:
-
`acknowledged_output_polls_the_provider_without_waiting_out_the_read_timeout`:
the provider poll follows the ACK read in less than
`RUNTIME_READ_TIMEOUT`. Without the change it fails (the poll waited
280–356 ms).
- `control_queued_behind_an_ack_runs_before_the_next_provider_poll`: a
command sent in the same write as the ACK executes before the provider
poll.
-
`welcome_command_output_polls_the_provider_without_waiting_out_the_read_timeout`:
the output of a fresh command in the welcome also releases the poll at
once. With the replay boundary taken after the welcome commands, it
fails.
- `replayed_output_ack_keeps_the_read_timeout_before_the_provider_poll`:
after a reconnect, a command sent 50 ms after the ACK of replayed output
executes before the provider poll. Without the replay condition it
fails.
-
`restorable_provider_ack_keeps_the_read_timeout_before_the_provider_poll`:
when the executor does not report a live provider, a command sent 50 ms
after the ACK executes before the provider poll.
- `npx vitest run src/live/runnerd-` in `packages/paperclip-runner` with
the new debug `paperclip-runnerd`: run with `--no-file-parallelism`.
Before the welcome-boundary fix: 576 passed, 3 skipped. After it: 575
passed, 3 skipped, and 1 failure once (`stops a lost runnerd's provider
and escaped tool job from its lineage journal (journal=true)`, a SIGKILL
timing test) while `cargo test` ran at the same time.
`runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts` then passed 293 of 293 three times
with this build, and three times with the base build.
- Local before and after measurement with the real Runner, the
TypeScript transport, and the fake Codex app-server (8 turns, 2 runs
each, debug build):

  | span | before p50 | after p50 |
  | --- | --- | --- |
| `runner.transport.started_event` | 377 ms (first turn 682–695 ms) |
119–122 ms (first turn 117–119 ms) |
| `runner.transport.turn_start` | 462–471 ms (first turn 775–780 ms) |
204–212 ms (first turn 247–251 ms) |

- The saving on the hosted deployment is not measured. From the analysis
above, the expected saving is about 250 ms for a warm Codex turn and
about 500 ms for the first turn after a provider launch.

## Risks

- Only local Codex gets the fast path. ACPX streaming keeps the old 250
ms wait after each ACK. A later change can opt ACPX in when its poll can
prove that it does not restore the sidecar.
- More provider polls during Codex streaming: a poll can now follow each
ACK at once instead of after 250 ms. Batches can become smaller, so the
provider state save for each batch can happen more often. Each event
already has its own durable save.
- A command that the controller sends more than 1 ms after its ACK can
now arrive after a provider poll. This was already possible after 250
ms. The change applies only when this connection produced the output, so
the provider is already active.
- If the Runner cannot restore the 250 ms read timeout, it treats the
socket as failed and reconnects. It does not continue with a 1 ms
timeout.
- No protocol, schema, or controller change.

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.

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.

- OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with code and shell tools. The exact model
ID and context window are not exposed in this session.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 09241442ea fix(server): let a native reviewer approve its review stage (#20373)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Execution policies can require an independent review stage before a
task is done
> - A native (Runner) agent that is the active reviewer had no way to
record its decision
> - `PATCH status: "done"` is refused for a native run that owns the
task (#18411), and `paperclip_finish` accepts the report but leaves the
stage pending
> - The reviewer then searches the API until a deadline, and the task
stays in review with nobody able to decide it
> - This pull request records the final-stage approval on `PATCH`
without releasing the run's lock, and lets the run's own finish report
set the final status
> - The benefit is that an agent reviewer can actually approve its
review stage, in one short turn

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18411 (added the native status guard). Related: #20264 (explicit
stage-decision operation, still open; this change is narrower and
compatible with it).

**What happened?**

A native reviewer agent was woken as the active `review` participant. It
read the deliverable and wrote its review in about 100 seconds. It then
called `paperclip_finish` with `done`. The tool answered "Completion
report accepted; the task's configured review stage is still pending".
It then tried `PATCH /api/issues/{id}` with `status: "done"` and a
comment. The route refused it with
`native_run_status_reported_by_finish`. The agent searched the API for 2
more minutes and found no other path. The stage stayed pending. When the
run ends with `done`, the status arbiter sees the pending stage and
keeps the task in review (`governed_gate_pending`), so the stage can
never resolve.

**Expected behavior**

The active review/approval participant can approve its stage from a
native run. The task reaches `done` after the approval. The implementer
still cannot approve. A run that is not the active participant still
cannot change the task status.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a task with an execution policy that has one `review` stage
with a native agent participant.
2. Move the task to `in_review` so the stage is pending and the reviewer
agent wakes.
3. In the reviewer run, call `PATCH /api/issues/{id}` with `{ "status":
"done", "comment": "Approved: ..." }`.
4. Observe `409 native_run_status_reported_by_finish`. Call
`paperclip_finish` with `done` and observe that the stage stays pending.

## What Changed

- `PATCH /api/issues/:id`: when the requester is the native run that
holds the task lock and is the active participant, a `status: "done"`
request on the final stage now records the approval decision
(`executionState` completed, decision row, activity). The route removes
`status` from the write, so the task stays `in_review` and the run keeps
its execution lock. The run's `paperclip_finish` report then sets `done`
through the normal status arbiter.
- An intermediate-stage approval (which would hand the task to the next
participant) and every other status change from such a run keep the
existing `native_run_status_reported_by_finish` refusal.
- `paperclip_finish` from the active participant (`done` or
`needs_review`) while its stage is still pending is now rejected with
the exact decision path, instead of being accepted with "stage still
pending".
- The native finalizer now treats the final-stage approval that the run
itself recorded (read from the `issue_execution_decisions` row, bound to
this run and agent) as the completion authority for its clean `done`
report. Before this, a reviewer that cited free-text evidence had its
report graded as incomplete, and the task was reopened as `in_progress`
with a new wake for the reviewer. Failed verification, blocking
remaining work, attention requests, other dispositions, and a
still-pending stage keep the old outcome.
- The reviewer/approver wake text names the decision path (`PATCH` with
`status` and a required decision comment) and says a completion report
does not record the decision. A Runner reviewer that needs changes is
told to report them with `paperclip_block`, because a changes request
from the run that owns the task is a reassignment that stops that run.
- The locked review-policy recheck treats the deferred approval as a
verdict, so a policy changed to `human_only` before the locked write
still refuses it.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/issue-agent-mutation-ownership-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-execution-policy-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-comment-reopen-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-execution-policy.test.ts
packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.test.ts`: 5 files, 595 tests
pass.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/services/native-runtime/native-completion-feedback.test.ts`:
29 tests pass (embedded PostgreSQL), including the decision-row binding
for `executionStageApprovedByRun`.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/services/native-runtime/status-arbiter.test.ts
server/src/services/native-runtime/native-run-finalizer-telemetry.test.ts
server/src/services/native-runtime/native-stale-owner-completion.test.ts`:
72 tests pass.
- New route tests fail without the route change (409 instead of 200/422)
and pass with it. The new feedback test fails without the feedback
change ("Completion report accepted" instead of a rejection).
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server` and `-p packages/adapter-utils`: pass.
- A route test changes the review policy to `human_only` between the
first check and the locked write; the deferred approval is refused
(403).
- Live full-stack chat eval `task-coordination.independent-review`
(Runner, OpenCode) with this change: passed in GitHub Actions run
42705964209 (eval branch with the first two commits cherry-picked). The
reviewer run recorded its approval 24 s after its review brief was
released, reported `done` 14 s later, and the finalizer set the task to
`done` with reason `execution_stage_approved`; total reviewer run 73 s.
The earlier run 42702224713 exposed the finalizer evidence issue that
the second commit fixes.

## Risks

- Low to medium. The change is limited to one request shape: a native
run, holding the lock, that is the active participant of a pending final
stage, sending `status: "done"`. All other requests keep the old guard.
- Between the approval and the finish report, the task shows `in_review`
with a completed `executionState`. If the run fails before it reports,
the existing native recovery owns the task, as for any other run.
- Previous-release story: no persisted shape changes. A reviewer run
that started before the deploy could not have recorded a deferred
approval (the old route refused it), so the new finalizer input is false
for it and the old outcome applies.
- Intermediate-stage approvals and changes requests from native runs are
still refused by the route. A Runner reviewer reports required changes
with `paperclip_block`, which keeps the stage pending for a person. A
self-service changes request needs the deferred handoff semantics in
#20264.
