DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 824b25654c fix(ui): keep a Retry for retained-file holds whose source cannot be verified (#19840)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - When a native run finishes but its files cannot be saved, the task
stays blocked behind a retained-file recovery hold.
> - The server records that hold as blocked and retryable, and the task
notice tells the user to "Retry to try again".
> - The task page hides its own Retry for these holds and relies on the
retained-file recovery panel instead.
> - That panel only binds the recovery record when a read-only source
inspection returns `verified`.
> - Inspection can return `blocked` for normal reasons: a sandbox that
predates ownership receipts (state saved by an older release), or a
workspace that moved on after its files were recovered.
> - Then neither surface offers an action, and "Check file recovery
status" always answers "File recovery changed. Refresh the task", also
after a reload.
> - This pull request binds the record by its own identity, uses
inspection only to gate the physical file-recovery request, and keeps
the task Retry visible whenever the panel has no control of its own.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18848 (the change that added the retained-file recovery panel and
hid the generic Retry for these holds).

**What happened?**

A blocked task with an active
`native_workspace_sync_out_retry_exhausted` hold showed "The saved files
need recovery before work can continue", "The recorded source is
unavailable or has changed", and "Saving the agent's files failed after
automatic retries. Retry to try again". It showed no Retry and no
recover button. "Check file recovery status" always answered "File
recovery changed. Refresh the task to inspect the current recovery", and
a reload did not change it. The hold was saved by an earlier release:
`systemRecovery` exhausted with `allocation_ownership_ambiguous` /
`service_required`, and `workspaceRecovery` blocked with `retryable:
true`. The source inspection endpoint returned `status: "blocked"` for
it. A second task whose files were already recovered showed the same
"need recovery" and "has changed" text, because its inspection reported
a reference mismatch after recovery.

**Expected behavior**

A retryable hold always shows a working Retry or recover control. A
notice that says "Retry" has a Retry button. Status checks never loop on
"changed, refresh". Recovered files show as recovered. When the source
cannot be verified, the page names the reason and who must inspect it.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Use an active retained-export hold whose `workspaceRecovery` is
blocked and retryable, and whose `systemRecovery` is exhausted.
2. Make the source inspection (`GET
/api/issues/:id/recovery-actions?inspectSourceRunId=…&inspectSourceActionId=…`)
return `status: "blocked"`.
3. Open the task as a board operator.
4. Before this change, the page shows no Retry and no recover button.
"Check file recovery status" reports "File recovery changed. Refresh the
task".

**Paperclip version or commit**

Observed on build `8812c19`. The regressions fail on master `0f5ce5050e`
before the production edits.

## What Changed

- `WorkspaceExportRecovery`: bind the recovery record by action, run and
schema identity, not by inspection status. Inspection status now gates
only the physical "Recover saved files" request (and the request
re-checks it before POST).
- `WorkspaceExportRecovery`: report through `onRecoveryControlChange`
whether the panel offers its own control. It reports `true` only while
the source is loading or verified and the files are not yet recovered,
or while it shows the previous-server stop confirmation.
- `IssueDetail`: hide the task Retry for retained-export holds only
while the panel reports that it owns the control. Otherwise the existing
task Retry (`POST /issues/:id/retry`) shows. The server renews a bounded
recovery generation and re-verifies the source.
- Show recovered files as recovered even when inspection no longer
matches after recovery.
- Name an unverifiable source in plain words (with the code for other
reasons). State that Paperclip does not apply files it can't verify.
- Recovery text never asks a person to inspect a sandbox or environment,
and never names an owner or administrator as the one who must act. This
covers the retained-file panel, the run source inspector, the copyback
wait, and the native cleanup quarantine message. The execution blocker
and the recovery action read model describe a spent recovery budget from
its current state, so text saved by older releases ("If Retry keeps
failing, inspect the run and its environment") is not shown.
- Task Retry uses the existing `createUuid()` helper, so it works on
plain-HTTP previews without `crypto.randomUUID`. An accepted Retry also
refreshes the inspected file-recovery state. After a failed accepted
request, the unverified-source reason stays visible; it hides only while
recovery runs.
- When the recovery record was replaced, "Check file recovery status"
reloads the task detail instead of telling the user to refresh.
- Tests: component regressions for an old-release hold, a recovered hold
with a mismatched source, verified ownership, and a replaced record. A
page regression proves Retry is shown and calls `retryTask` for
unverified and stale sources. A server safety test proves that Retry for
the old-release hold shape is accepted, opens one new bounded
generation, queues file recovery again, keeps the hold active, and is
idempotent.

## Verification

- RED (master `0f5ce5050e` production files, new tests): 5 component
tests fail. The failure output shows the exact staging text: "Check file
recovery status", "File recovery changed. Refresh the task to inspect
the current recovery.", "The recorded source is unavailable or has
changed." 2 page tests (unverified and stale) fail with `expected [
'Check file recovery status', … ] to include 'Retry'`.
- GREEN: `cd ui && npx vitest run
src/components/WorkspaceExportRecovery.control.test.tsx
src/components/WorkspaceExportRecovery.test.tsx
src/components/RunWorkspaceRecoverySurface.test.tsx
src/components/ExecutionBlockerNotice.test.tsx
src/pages/IssueDetail.test.tsx` passes 320 tests.
- Server: `cd server && npx vitest run src/services/task-retry.test.ts`
passes 81 tests, including the new old-release safety case. This is
safety evidence, not a red: the server path was already correct, and the
defect was in the UI.
- Full UI suite: 11564 pass. 4 tests in `IssuesList.test.tsx` and
`CompanyEnvironments.test.tsx` failed under full-suite load and pass in
isolation (106/106). They are unrelated to this change.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` is clean. `node scripts/run-tsc.mjs -p
ui/tsconfig.json --noEmit` reports no errors in the touched files. The
remaining errors are local artifacts that were not built (plugin SDK UI
entry, generated Storybook catalog).
- Staging was read only (GET requests). The inspect request did not loop
in a fresh tab: two calls in 30 seconds. Most of the tab's request
volume is periodic company issue-list refetches, which this change does
not touch.

## Risks

- Low risk. This is a UI-only behavior change. Server authorization,
source verification, stop receipts, and the bounded recovery policy are
unchanged and remain authoritative.
- The task Retry is now visible for retained-export holds whose source
does not verify. Retry renews one recovery generation. The worker
re-runs the same source-identity checks, so Retry cannot bypass an
ownership refusal. If the refusal is permanent (for example an ambiguous
sandbox allocation), the hold returns to exhausted and the page names
the reason. An automatic fallback for such sources is follow-up work.
- Wording: a parametrized UI test renders every recovery state and
asserts that no administrator, owner, or "inspect the environment" copy
appears. A server test proves that a stored old-release message is
replaced by state-derived text. Both failed before the change.
- Previous-release story: the old-release hold shape (board-owned,
`systemRecovery` revision 5 exhausted with `service_required`,
`workspaceRecovery` blocked and retryable) is covered by component,
page, and server tests. No persisted state shape changes.

DottaandPaperclip 519b345d69 fix(ui): expose governed retained-file recovery (#18848)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The control plane must preserve saved work before it admits another
attempt.
> - Retained-file recovery already has an authorized API and a bounded
worker.
> - The task UI hid that operation when workspace repair blocked
execution.
> - The run inspector could check source identity but could not request
preservation.
> - This pull request exposes that existing operation with its exact
source binding.
> - The worker still owns file verification, stop receipts, and
execution release.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18678 and #18803 for the existing retained-source and continuation
contracts.

**What happened?**

A failed native run could leave an active, system-owned export recovery
action. The task showed a generic Retry control. Its workspace repair
gate correctly refused another provider turn. The run inspector offered
only read-only source inspection. The authorized file-preservation API
had no production UI caller.

**Expected behavior**

An authorized board operator can request preservation of the exact
retained files. The UI keeps the repair hold until the server records
verified preservation. A lost response must keep the same request
identity.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Use an active retained-export action whose workspace recovery is
blocked and retryable.
2. Open its source task while `workspaceRepairRequired` is true.
3. Open the exact failed run and inspect recovery.
4. Before this change, neither surface can request the existing
file-preservation operation.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The focused regression fails on master
`1f55073f96b2485f49f98ee8c261aa14ec2f79ac` before the production UI
edits.

I checked the roadmap and searched open public PRs for this UI repair.
No duplicate was found. This is a repair to the existing recovery
capability.

## What Changed

- Add Recover saved files to the existing task recovery area and
exact-run inspector. Reuse the current board task-mutation access check
and the existing `recoverWorkspace` API.
- Read the exact action, run, company, task, and source observation
again before sending. Refuse changed, retired, foreign, unverified, or
non-retryable sources.
- Save one account-scoped request before POST. Keep its key through a
lost response and reload. Reconcile with GET before an explicit resend.
Use a new key only after an explicit click and a fresh, confirmed
exhausted attempt; do not resend automatically.
- Show queued, recovering, blocked, and verified receipt states
separately. A request acknowledgement does not mark files saved or
resolve the task hold. Hide generic Retry for native export holds. Keep
the existing Retry path for legacy restoration.
- Cover both mounted surfaces and negative access, source, account,
persistence, duplicate-click, and lost-response cases. Update the
existing design guidance and correct the affected run-detail recipe
only.

## Verification

- RED: the new component regression fails with `missing Recover saved
files` before production changes. The original failure is retained.
- GREEN: 265 tests pass across
`WorkspaceExportRecovery.control.test.tsx`,
`WorkspaceExportRecovery.test.tsx`,
`RunWorkspaceRecoverySurface.test.tsx`, and the full
`IssueDetail.test.tsx` suite.
- Review RED/GREEN: the prior UI reused the failed key after a confirmed
exhausted attempt. A focused regression now proves a different key for
an explicit new attempt, while the lost-response controls still prove
key reuse. Mounted task controls prove that verified native preservation
stays available, unverified or stale native sources never offer generic
Retry, and viewers cannot mutate. A separate RED against the exact prior
UI proves the lost legacy control. Its GREEN clicks the existing legacy
Retry API while the workspace hold remains active.
- Full UI TypeScript check passes: `node scripts/run-tsc.mjs -p
ui/tsconfig.json --noEmit`.
- `node scripts/check-token-gates.mjs`, `node scripts/check-maps.mjs`,
and `git diff --check` pass. The map check proves structure only.
- One early legacy test probe used an unsigned fixture and a readonly
array; those setup failures are retained. The corrected same-user
fixture proves the source RED and GREEN. The first test command used an
unnamed project filter and stopped before loading tests. The corrected
package configuration produced the recorded RED. One initial storage
fault probe did not intercept jsdom's storage method; the corrected
prototype fault proves that unavailable storage sends no POST.
- Dependencies use Node 24.22.2 and a frozen pnpm 9.15.4 install with
scripts disabled. The maintained shared and SDK prerequisite builds pass
on this base. No dependency or lockfile changes are included.
- A later Paperclip Review follow-up found the plain-HTTP UUID gap. Its
focused regression fails before POST with the prior direct call, then
passes with the existing UUID helper. The same storage, lost-response,
retry and source controls remain green.
- Original full CI `41715060582` fails two Cloud-auth task-entry browser
checks at their existing heading assertion. The retained original
artifacts show a late task pane (one already contains the heading; one
still shows Loading conversation). The cause remains unproven. No auth,
fixture, timeout or assertion change is included. Fresh Greptile is 5/5
with zero open threads and Paperclip Review passes on the UUID fix head.
Current full CI `41720068249` attempt 1 failed. Three workers were
terminated by AWS Spot capacity loss. The CLI startup and dense-ZIP
checks also timed out at their unchanged deadlines. The CLI/shared input
trees match a previous passing CI job, and the dense-ZIP case passes one
focused local check. The CLI timeout cause remains unknown. The
coordinator requested one bounded recheck. Attempt 2 succeeds on the
same source, with all current checks green. No source, fixture, timeout
or assertion changed for that recheck. The worker issued no retry. This
pass does not establish the original CLI timeout cause.
- Full recursive typecheck, repository tests, and application build were
not run locally under the bounded UI verification scope. Full CI is
requested.
- No live preservation request, provider turn, deployment, or sandbox
cleanup was performed for this repair. Original saved-file recovery
remains unverified until rollout and real acceptance.

## Risks

The client access check is a display guard. The existing server
authorization and physical source, ownership, stop, and snapshot checks
remain authoritative. Unavailable browser storage blocks the request
before POST. A failed acknowledgement retains the request for its owner.
The UI never calls task Retry, recovery resolution, reconstruction,
provider execution, or destructive cleanup. The existing worker retains
its bounded recovery policy and may finish the saved result after real
preservation.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with repository inspection, code editing,
and test execution. The exact runtime model ID and context-window size
are not exposed to this agent.

DottaandPaperclip bd382eee53 fix(recovery): explain retained source verification failures (#17773)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Workspace recovery must prove the identity of retained work before
it uses an allocation.
> - The verifier rejects several different contracts with the same
`source_binding_invalid` code.
> - A saved Retry can therefore stop before file preservation without
enough evidence for a safe repair.
> - Operators need a bounded observation of the selected source without
another attempt or weaker guards.
> - This pull request records closed failure reasons and adds an
explicit read-only inspection on the run page.
> - The benefit is a precise next diagnostic step while the saved work,
intent, and ownership fences remain intact.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #17741, #17053. This is a diagnostic follow-up. It does not change
recovery admission or the retained-source acceptance policy.

**What happened?**

A retained-source recovery exhausted in `verify_execution` with only
`source_binding_invalid`. Run and task diagnostics could not distinguish
an invalid reference, lease policy, source binding, or reopened
allocation. The normal recovery-actions read can also revalidate
recovery state, so it was not a safe substitute for a current read-only
inspection.

**Expected behavior**

Record an allowlisted reason at the rejected guard. Allow a reader to
inspect one exact task/run/action without changing its attempts, saved
input, receipts, or ownership. Clearly separate the recorded failure
from current identity observations.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Prepare a terminal native run with a retained-source action and a
lease policy of `reuse_by_environment`.
2. Attempt source verification. The guard must still reject that policy.
3. Open the failed run and choose Inspect recovery, then Inspect current
source. The diagnostic should name `lease_policy_not_retained` and the
allowlisted policy.

## What Changed

- Split existing source-binding guards into closed reason codes. Keep
each acceptance predicate and physical recovery action unchanged.
- Persist validated, path-free reason/policy detail with future system
recovery failures. Keep historical generic records compatible.
- Add an explicit query on the existing task recovery-actions GET. Exact
company/task/run/action selection bypasses read revalidation. Run
selection lists at most 20 actions; inspection stops before per-lease
lookup when a record has more than eight sources.
- Add a manual inspection control on native export-failure run pages.
Keep resolved retained actions inspectable. Show recorded failure and
current recorded-source identity separately.
- Update execution semantics and feature/access recipes. The shared type
is the normalized server/UI contract; it contains no provider payload or
secret.

## Verification

- RED: the prior verifier failed both reason assertions for rejected
warm policy and foreign-run lease binding. GREEN: the final focused
source/HTTP, system-state, and UI suites pass 23 tests. The UI follow-up
passes 8 tests after the review fixes.
- HTTP tests prove exact selection, cross-company denial,
resolved-action access, reused-allocation rejection, redaction, and
unchanged actions, runs, leases, tasks, wakeup receipts, workspace
operations, and activity. A nine-source case proves bounded inspection
while the existing worker verifier still accepts all nine valid sources.
- Review follow-up: show allowlisted saved detail beside a changed
current observation, preserve all listed actions, and follow
exact-action selection in verified/limited/error tests. The prior
component fails the saved/current drift regression in an in-memory RED
control; the current component passes. UI typecheck/build pass again.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass. Token gates, maps, module
boundaries, and `git diff --check` pass.
- Rebased onto master `46de15ff4b` without conflicts. Range-diff proves
both diagnostic commits are unchanged. On new head
`a7e2bc87fcea75e76b6b736304d1287257f71174`, all 23 focused tests, full
typecheck/build, token gates, maps, and module checks pass again. Both
fresh reviews are 5/5 with zero unresolved threads. Final exact-head
GitHub status is CLEAN: 55 success, 2 skipped, 1 neutral, no pending
checks or failures. The [ci / verify
aggregate](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40387002325/job/121802415824)
passed in eight seconds. All test/build/typecheck/E2E lanes passed.
- Existing full workspace recovery suite: 56/56 pass (103.5 seconds)
before the byte-equivalent rebase. `pnpm test:run` hit repeated embedded
PostgreSQL initialization failure before database-suite assertions and
was stopped. No full local suite pass is claimed. The owned external
`_test` database provided the focused HTTP/source verification. The
prior browser attempt also stalled at Network.enable before its click;
that attempt did not establish browser acceptance.
- Current-head local browser acceptance passes through the actual run
page: Inspect recovery lists the exact action, Inspect current source
shows recorded generic failure separately from the current rejected
policy, and reload resets inspection to the explicit control. Explicit
selection works again after reload. The app used isolated data, an empty
inherited environment, a paused synthetic agent, and no provider
credentials. Final state remains failed/exhausted with zero attempts,
zero wakeup receipts, zero workspace operations, and unchanged original
generic failure. The local app and temporary tab were stopped. This
proves the diagnostic journey, not the deployed source's actual lease
policy or its recovery.
- Final merge verification at
`a7e2bc87fcea75e76b6b736304d1287257f71174`: GitHub reports CLEAN and
mergeable. Both repository-required checks, `ci / verify` and `ci /
e2e`, pass, as does the exact-head Greptile check (5/5, zero unresolved
threads). The separate [Entire
trail](https://entire.com/gh/paperclipai/paperclip/trails/7) has no
recorded reviewer approval; no such approval is claimed. It is not a
configured GitHub merge gate.
- Initial local setup failures were distinct from product assertions:
localhost sandbox EPERM required scoped local access; a browser harness
import path was corrected. A test UUID type inference error and
historical native-export UI selection gap were corrected before the
green run. The live task remains blocked; this diagnostic does not claim
it recovered.

## Risks

- This change improves evidence. It does not prove provider termination,
local descriptor integrity, or successful file preservation, and it does
not repair the original source.
- Current inspection spans multiple database reads. It is an
observation, not a historical cause or execution authority. It performs
no provider/filesystem calls and starts no retry or executor.
- The optional persisted detail is backward compatible. Unknown values
and extra fields are excluded. Oversized source lists remain uninspected
through this explicit diagnostic path; physical recovery rules do not
change.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex based on GPT-6, with code execution and browser tools. The
exact serving model ID and context window were not exposed in this
session.
