DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 7d92b6a7cd fix(api): use a neutral catalog pointer in the call_api protocol refusal (#20191)
## Thinking Path

- Paperclip agents reach REST routes through the `call_api` tool;
protocol endpoints (MCP, OAuth, WebSocket) are refused there with
guidance.
- #20170 changed that refusal to tell the agent the endpoint's catalog
description says who can use it.
- Review on #20170 found that some protocol endpoints' descriptions (for
example the WebSocket entries) do not say who may call them, so the
refusal could send the agent to look for information that is not there.
- The fix (e7ff8ba610) was pushed three minutes after #20170 merged, so
it never reached master. This PR carries it.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20170

**What happened:** after #20170, a `call_api` refusal for a protocol
endpoint says the catalog description names who can use it. Some
descriptions, such as `GET /api/companies/{companyId}/events/ws`
("WebSocket upgrade. Not callable through call_api."), do not, so an
agent following the refusal looks for an answer the catalog does not
give.

**Expected behavior:** the refusal points the agent at the catalog
description neutrally ("Read its catalog description for details.")
without promising it names who may call the endpoint.

**Steps to reproduce:**
1. As an agent, call `call_api` with `GET
/api/companies/{companyId}/events/ws`.
2. Read the refusal text: it claims the description says who can use the
endpoint.
3. Read the catalog entry: it does not.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/native-runtime/runner-api-client.ts`: the
protocol-endpoint refusal now says "Read its catalog description for
details." instead of promising the description names who can call it.
- `server/src/__tests__/assistant-connections-guidance.test.ts`: adds a
case on the WebSocket events endpoint asserting the neutral wording.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/assistant-connections-guidance.test.ts` (4 passed).
- Commit was reviewed on #20170's branch by Ponytail (the finding that
prompted it).

## Risks

- Low: wording-only change to one refusal message, plus a test. Agents
may read slightly less specific guidance for endpoints whose
descriptions do name the caller; the description itself is unchanged.

## Model Used

- Provider: Anthropic. Model: Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), via
Claude Code, with tool use and code execution. The change was authored
by a Claude subagent on #20170 and carried over here by Claude.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 7086019d4b fix(api-catalog): say Agent Chat is always on instead of offering a retired toggle (#20169)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents learn what the API can do from the API catalog at
`/api/openapi.json`
> - PR #19360 made Agent Chat standard. The `enableAgentChat` key is now
retired: it always reads true, and the app ignores written values
> - The catalog still lists `enableAgentChat` as an ordinary boolean on
the experimental settings operations, with no note that it is retired
> - An agent that was asked to "Enable Agent Chat on this instance" read
the catalog and told the person to turn on a toggle in Instance Settings
→ Experimental. That toggle no longer exists
> - This pull request adds a note to both experimental settings
operations: Agent Chat is always on, the key is retired, and agents must
tell people it is already on
> - The benefit is that agents give a correct answer and do not send
people to a control that is not there

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Bug report (no public issue exists).

**What happened**
An agent was asked "Enable Agent Chat on this instance." It read `PATCH
/api/instance/settings/experimental` in the API catalog and found
`enableAgentChat`. It replied that an admin must open Instance Settings
→ Experimental and turn on Enable Agent Chat. That toggle was removed in
#19360, and Agent Chat is already on for everyone.

**Expected behavior**
The agent says that Agent Chat is already on (the person is using it),
and that nothing must be enabled.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Open a chat with an agent on any current instance.
2. Send "Enable Agent Chat on this instance."
3. The agent reads the experimental settings operation in the API
catalog and sends you to a settings toggle that does not exist.

Refs #19360

## What Changed

- `server/src/routes/openapi.ts`: the GET and PATCH
`/api/instance/settings/experimental` operations now say that Agent Chat
is always on, that `enableAgentChat` is a retired compatibility key that
always reads true and ignores written values, and that agents must tell
people it is already on instead of sending them to a toggle.
- `server/src/__tests__/openapi-routes.test.ts`: a regression test
checks this note on both operations.
- The note says Agent Chat "needs no setup" instead of "there is nothing
to enable", so it does not match unrelated keyword searches. The runner
API no-results test (`nothing-zzzzzzzzzz`) had matched the word
"nothing".

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run src/__tests__/openapi-routes.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/runner-api.test.ts` passes (2108 tests), and
the server `tsc --noEmit` passes.
- The chat eval `instance-operations.instance-settings` found this
defect. Its run log shows that the agent reasoned from the catalog
schema ("The setting is `enableAgentChat` on PATCH
/api/instance/settings/experimental").

## Risks

- Low risk. This changes only catalog description text. It does not
change behavior, validation or the schema.

## Model Used

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 b07399c241 fix(authz): link the project's access settings when an agent cannot share a project (#20176)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Some actions are board-only. When an agent calls one, the 403 denial
tells it that the denial is final and, when known, links the board page
that holds the control
> - Project sharing (`/api/projects/:id/access-members`) had no known
page, so the denial told agents to link a page only if they already knew
its route
> - An agent asked to "Let Riley see the acquisition project" got this
denial. It told the person to look for "access/sharing settings" and
gave no link, so the person had to search for the control
> - This pull request maps project access-member routes to the project's
Configuration page, where the Manage access control is
> - The benefit is that agents give people a direct link to the control
that shares a private project

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Bug report (no public issue exists).

**What happened**
An agent tried to add a person to a private project. `POST
/api/projects/:id/access-members` returned 403 "Board access required"
without a page link. The agent told the person to find the project's
access or sharing settings in the web app and gave no link.

**Expected behavior**
The denial links the project's Configuration page
(`/<prefix>/projects/<id>/configuration`), where Manage access is. The
agent gives that link to the person.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create a private project and give an agent access to it.
2. In chat, ask the agent to let another company member see the project.
3. The agent's access-member request is denied, and its reply has no
link to the sharing control.

Refs #20151

## What Changed

- `server/src/routes/authz.ts`: board-only denials for
`/projects/:id/access-members` (and its member subpaths) link "the
project's access settings" at `/<prefix>/projects/<id>/configuration`.
The link uses the resolved route project ID, so short references such as
`/api/projects/acquisition/access-members` also get the link. Without a
resolved UUID, the denial falls back to the generic instruction.
- `server/src/__tests__/board-access-denial.test.ts`: cases for add and
remove access-member denials, plus a short-reference case that goes
through a route param resolver.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/board-access-denial.test.ts` passes (17 tests). The
short-reference test fails on the previous matcher. The server `tsc
--noEmit` passes.
- The chat eval `projects.share-project` found this gap: in one run the
agent linked the project, and in the next run it gave no link.

## Risks

- Low risk. This changes only the remediation text in an agent's 403
response. It does not change authorization.

## Model Used

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 2fc0293586 fix(api): tell agents only the person can revoke assistant connections, and where (#20170)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - People connect external assistants to Paperclip, and each person
manages their own assistant connections in the browser
> - Chat agents find API routes through `search_api` and call them with
`call_api`
> - The catalog entries for `/api/mcp/connections` did not say who can
use them or which page holds the control
> - `call_api` refuses these routes as protocol endpoints, and its
message did not say the refusal is final
> - A chat agent asked to "disconnect my old assistant" searched for an
agent route for its whole turn and did not reply
> - This pull request names the person-only boundary and the page in the
catalog, and makes the refusal final
> - The benefit is that the agent replies at once with a link to the
page where the person revokes the connection

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists. This is a bug report.

**What happened**

A person asked the chat agent: "Disconnect my old assistant, but leave
the website task running." The agent found `DELETE
/api/mcp/connections/{id}`. `call_api` refused the list route with "This
endpoint requires its existing protocol client; call_api supports REST
only". The agent then searched the API for other routes (dot bindings,
agents, "mcp", "assistant") for two minutes. The turn timed out with no
reply. The agent wrote in its reasoning that there "must be a supported
path".

**Expected behavior**

The agent tells the person that only they can revoke the connection,
links the Assistant connections page, and says the delegated task keeps
running.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Connect two assistants to a company as one person. Let the first
assistant create a task for an agent.
2. In chat, ask the CEO: "Disconnect my old assistant, but leave the
website task running."
3. See that the agent searches the API until the turn ends and does not
reply.

## What Changed

- `server/src/routes/openapi.ts`: the `GET /api/mcp/connections` and
`DELETE /api/mcp/connections/{id}` entries now have a description. It
says only the signed-in person can list or revoke their assistant
connections, links `[Assistant
connections](/<prefix>/apps/assistant-connection)`, notes that the
connected assistant itself can revoke its own token through OAuth token
revocation, says not to search for another route, and says that tasks
the assistant already created keep running.
- `server/src/services/native-runtime/runner-api-client.ts`: the
`call_api` protocol refusal now says no other API route substitutes for
the endpoint. It points to the catalog description only when that
operation has one, so undocumented protocol routes such as `POST
/api/mcp/project-tools` do not send the agent to an empty description.
- `server/src/__tests__/assistant-connections-guidance.test.ts`: new
regression test. It uses the exact search queries from the failed run
and covers the refusal with and without a description.
- `server/src/__tests__/public-mcp.test.ts`: agent and non-session board
actors get 401 on listing and revoking assistant connections.

## Verification

- `cd server && pnpm exec vitest run
src/__tests__/assistant-connections-guidance.test.ts
src/__tests__/primary-agent-guidance.test.ts
src/__tests__/openapi-routes.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/runner-api.test.ts` passes (2111 tests).
After the review fixes,
`src/__tests__/assistant-connections-guidance.test.ts
src/__tests__/public-mcp.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/runner-api.test.ts` passes (2157 tests), and
the server `tsc --noEmit` passes.
- The new test fails on `master` without the change (2 failures) and
passes with it.
- The end-to-end check is the
`assistant-connections.revoke-personal-grant` chat eval with this commit
cherry-picked.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change is catalog text and one error message. No route,
permission or data behavior changes.

## Model Used

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

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 9b71d03215 fix: recover interrupted native preparations and unblock upgrades (#20177)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI-agent companies and their work.
> - A native run prepares its workspace before a runner PID or
checkpoint exists.
> - A server crash can interrupt that stage and leave its controller on
another host.
> - Recovery needs a durable owner proof, a delivered recovery wake, and
the saved execution contract.
> - The old paths missed controller lease registration and boot proof,
skipped checkpoint-free preparations, and counted retained work as live
upgrade blockers.
> - This PR connects preparation to the existing controller lease and
recovery paths, and separates retained work from the upgrade census.
> - The result is bounded recovery without a second executor or loss of
saved work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A native preparation interrupted by a server crash could remain running
indefinitely with no runner PID or checkpoint. Native controller stamps
did not wake the shared instance lease. That lease was disabled on
volume-backed Railway services, and native takeover omitted the boot
binding needed for its cross-host proof. Scoped recovery selected
checkpoint-backed runs but skipped these preparations. The upgrade probe
then counted the retained row as current execution and could block every
later upgrade.

**Expected behavior**

Track the preparation's controller before a runner starts. Recover it
through the normal classifier after proving its owner stopped or fencing
that boot. Keep live or unprovable owners held. Deliver recovery wakes
to preparations without checkpoints. Preserve unresolved historical work
and report it separately from current execution during upgrade
observations.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Save an observed native preparation with no runner process, result,
provider-start evidence or checkpoint.
2. Replace its controller with a process in another PID space. Let its
owner lease expire and send a scoped recovery wake.
3. Before this fix, recovery skips the checkpoint-free preparation or
cannot prove its foreign controller stopped. Upgrade readiness continues
to count that old row as a live blocker.

Related work: #18037, #19651, #19868, and #20168. The foreign-PID guard
from #19868 remains. The queued first-turn input fix from #20168 is
included through the current base.

## What Changed

- Register the existing instance lease when native execution and restart
claims are written. Keep passive identity reads free of ownership
effects. Keep that lease enabled on volume-backed Railway services
unless explicitly disabled.
- Preserve the existing PID/start-time proof within the same readable
PID space. Bind foreign or unknown-space takeover to its saved boot and
last write. A live lease or grace period keeps the run held with a
scheduled check. Repeated evidence waits preserve their timestamp.
- Include explicitly fenced, checkpoint-free preparations in the
existing finite recovery candidate inventory. Normal launch, checkpoint,
provider evidence and admission checks still decide whether work may
resume.
- Expose the existing board stop-confirmation operation for historical
foreign-host owners. Bind confirmation to the exact run, boot, PID,
process start and host. Reject changed ownership.
- Report narrowly defined old, unowned preparations as
`retainedBlockedRuns` outside the live upgrade census. Local executions,
pending admission, drain state, truncation and positive checkpoint proof
retain their barriers.
- Update the execution contract and add PostgreSQL, real-route, race and
preservation regressions.

## Verification

- Genuine red/green regressions cover the old upgrade census, missing
native lease registration, the volume-backed default, foreign-host
confirmation, and scoped recovery skipping checkpoint-free preparation.
Test bodies ran against real PostgreSQL before their corresponding
production changes.
- Combined verification before the final idle correction (head
`055be6c84d9`): **459 passed, 22 skipped, 11 files passed**. Covers
controller lease/identity, native restart classification and
integration, host confirmation, heartbeat recovery, instance route
authorization, upgrade readiness, and queued first-turn input. The
focused command used `pnpm exec vitest run` with those 11 suites and
`--maxWorkers=1 --no-file-parallelism`. The 22 skipped cases require the
Rust debug fake-Codex fixture, which was not built locally; the
real-process CI coverage must pass.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`: passed on head
`055be6c84d9b058064daad0af71bb5d893ab9529`.
- Actual route proof uses the real heartbeat service and PostgreSQL.
Unauthorized access returns 403. The retained run and owner records
remain unchanged. Recovery integration admits one bootstrap claim across
two replacement controllers, keeps a live owner held, and preserves
local execution.
- `pnpm verify`: exit 2, requests broad CI because the execution
contract changed. Full local suite not run. Current-head CI must supply
broad coverage.
- Local source checkout on macOS ARM64, Node v25.6.1, pnpm 9.15.4. Tests
use isolated PostgreSQL. No live provider restart is claimed by those
fixtures.
- CI found an idle-query regression in the first version of the lease
wiring. Two focused PostgreSQL regressions reproduced the misplaced
identity-read notification and the missing claim notification. The fix
moves registration to actual ownership writes. `env -u npm_execpath pnpm
exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/maintenance-server-routes.test.ts
--maxWorkers=1 --no-file-parallelism`: **17 passed**, including 90 real
seconds and two qualified hourly windows with no extra idle queries. An
initial local setup attempt inherited npm metadata and did not run
tests; clearing that metadata selected the correct pnpm helper. Three
focused controller/native suites also passed **168 tests, 22
fixture-gated skips**. Server typecheck passed after the correction on
head `4a527326dcd5b3a9e286f0e4c3e761d3056af4d9`.
- The older CI server shard also exposed a same-space graceful-restart
regression. The new boot fallback had overridden local process-exit
proof. Seven suspension cases and a focused unit regression reproduced
it; the fix limits boot fallback to foreign or unknown PID spaces. Fresh
verification on `acf1065d98150210c1e227c7f3b05a1eb489730b`: **251
passed, 22 fixture-gated skips, 4 files passed**, including all **40**
graceful-restart suspension tests. Server typecheck passed. The local
regression failed before this correction, and the same-space and
foreign-space paths pass together after it.
- Current-head CI completed successfully on
`acf1065d98150210c1e227c7f3b05a1eb489730b` (run 42568109784). Greptile
reviewed that exact head at 5/5 with no unresolved review threads.
- Secret and private-data scans passed. No workflow, lockfile or
migration changes.

## Risks

- The instance lease now applies to volume-backed Railway services. Its
existing 30-second renewal, quiescence, grace and self-fence behavior
applies while work is held. Idle servers retain the existing no-query
behavior. An explicit `PAPERCLIP_CONTROLLER_INSTANCE_LEASE=off` remains
available.
- A controller lease proves only the server owner's state. It does not
prove an agent process stopped or authorize replay, resource release or
volume removal. The existing classifier and provider/runner checks
remain responsible for those decisions.
- Previous-release records keep their shape and saved state. A missing
boot lease stays unprovable and requires the scoped stop-confirmation
path. A changed confirmation target is rejected.
- The upgrade observation does not recover a held task by itself. Source
tests do not qualify a hosted replacement. Deployment and the affected
task's useful result must be verified separately.
- This repairs recovery after a crash; it does not claim to identify or
fix every source of heap exhaustion.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol`, xhigh reasoning effort, through Codex in T3 Code,
with repository, shell, and GitHub tools. Context window size is not
exposed by the runtime.

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 2d93413085 perf(runner): prepare the next Claude provider generation at park (#20145)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip runs agents through Paperclip Runner, and a host can park
an idle Runner between runs and resume it for the next run on the same
task.
> - For Claude (ACPX), a follow-up run on a parked Runner pays about
1.5–2.3 s at `run.attach` before the provider can start the turn. The
attachment closes the Claude sidecar and spawns a new one: initialize,
`session.open` with `session/load`, `run.attach`, then a dormant verify.
> - The respawn is required. The tool-bridge MCP endpoint lasts for the
whole session and can't tell which turn a late callback came from, so a
new turn must not run in a process that ran an earlier one.
> - Nothing requires the respawn to happen at the *start* of the next
run. A turn that ends 2 s later is a better experience than one that
starts 2 s later.
> - This pull request does the respawn while parking. The next run's
`run.attach` then only rebinds the run id on a fresh, never-used
generation.
> - Follow-up Claude runs on a parked Runner reach the provider about
1.5–2 s sooner, and the late-callback guarantees are unchanged.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists. The issue is described inline.

### What happened?

On a hosted deployment with parked Runners, Claude follow-up runs
reached the provider about 1.8 s later than Codex follow-ups.
`runner.session.resume` medians were 5.2 s for Claude and 3.4 s for
Codex. The extra time is the ACPX respawn inside `run.attach`. Codex
keeps its process in place.

### Expected behavior

The respawn happens while the Runner parks, so the next run starts on a
prepared generation.

### Steps to reproduce

1. Run a Claude (ACPX) task on a host that parks Runners between runs.
2. Let the run finish and the Runner park.
3. Send a follow-up. `run.attach` closes the provider and starts,
initializes, opens and attaches a new sidecar before `turn.start`. The
Claude CLI itself starts at the first prompt on either path.

### Paperclip version or commit

`master` at e194e193.

### Deployment mode

Hosted, with parked Runner tasks.

## What Changed

- **`durable/runner.rs`:**
- New `CommandExecutor::prepare_for_park(deadline)` hook, a no-op by
default. The runner passes a deadline 20 s after the park request; the
host waits 30 s for the reply.
- The Park host-control arm calls it after `host_park_ready()`,
re-proves readiness, and only then replies `parked`.
- A failure records a diagnostic and replies `conflict`, the existing
park-failure path.
- **ACPX, park side** (`acpx_park_preparation.rs`,
`acpx_provider_generation.rs`):
- For Claude, with the session open, nothing pending and nothing queued:
reap the old generation, using the same suspend-and-reap sequence a
second turn uses.
- Start the replacement with the current run attached, and prove it
dormant.
  - Roll the tool receipt epochs and the turn-identity ledger over.
- Record a digest of the session configuration it was opened with,
ignoring the MCP binding id and the aggregate digest.
- Every sidecar request during preparation is capped at the park
deadline. Running out of time fails like any other preparation failure.
- **ACPX, attach side:**
- A prepared, never-used generation whose digest matches the next run is
rebound: the sidecar gets `run.attach` with the new run id, the reducer
and tool bridges are reset, and the snapshot is checked for the new run
id.
- Anything else takes today's cold path: a different tool set, skill,
prompt or launch; a buffered callback; or any rebind error.
- **ACPX, turn start:** the provider restarts when its generation has
run a turn, instead of when the run has settled turns.
`has_settled_turns` is removed.
- **ACPX, polling:** polling skips a prepared generation until it is
rebound or starts a turn, so nothing it emits is attributed to the
parked run.
- **Sidecar** (`acpx-runtime-sidecar.ts`): rejects `run.attach` once a
turn has started in that process.
- **Fake sidecar:** reports live predecessors at process start, and adds
the faults `reject-open`, `late-tool-after-suspend` and `pre-turn-tool`.

## Verification

- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core`: 1029 passed (debug).
  - New `tests/acpx_park_preparation.rs` (10 tests). These prove:
- park reaps the old pid before spawning the new one, and acks only
after the dormant verify;
- a late callback from the old generation after park is rejected, and so
is a pre-turn call from the new generation;
- a compatible attach keeps the pid, and the sidecar and snapshot carry
the new run id;
- changed instructions, tools, skills or runtime context take the cold
path;
    - a used generation is never rebound;
- a prepare failure produces a park conflict and a recoverable state;
    - Retire works after a prepared park;
- a replacement whose `session.open` stalls fails at the park deadline,
leaves the session suspended, and the next run attaches and completes a
turn.
- `cargo fmt --check` and `cargo check --workspace --locked`: clean.
- `vitest` `acpx-runtime-sidecar.test.ts` and
`acpx-sidecar-input.test.ts`: 126 passed. The new re-attach guard test
fails if the guard is removed.
- `vitest` `plugin-runner-release-resume.integration.test.ts` and
`plugin-runner-eviction.integration.test.ts` with the branch's Runner:
48 passed. Both now expect the provider process to be replaced at park
instead of at attach.
- Fake-sidecar timing (release build, 3 runs): `run.attach` took 230–260
ms cold and 40–80 ms after a prepared park.
- Real Claude (claude-agent-acp 0.73.0, release build on a hosted test
VM, 3 runs each way plus one with a 180 s cgroup freeze between park and
attach):

  | | before | this PR |
  |---|---|---|
  | `run.attach` | 1691 ms mean | 212 ms mean |
| `run.attach` start → follow-up `turn.started` | 2565 ms mean | 1065 ms
mean |
  | `turn.start` → first provider output | 2261 ms mean | 2232 ms mean |
  | park preparation added to park | — | about 1450 ms |

Session recall, an authorized tool call after the rebind, and the
absence of any tool call or event from the old run all passed in every
run, including after the freeze. The prepared generation holds only the
sidecar: the Claude CLI starts at the follow-up prompt on both paths, so
a parked Runner also holds one node process instead of the whole Claude
tree.
- Hit rate: on a hosted test deployment, all 15 consecutive Claude runs
across two tasks carried identical content-addressed instruction and
skill bundle paths, so the prepared digest would have matched.
- Not run: the hosted park, claim and attach loop with real Claude, a
native MCP binding or skills with real Claude, `cargo test --release`,
smoke tests.
- Pre-existing flake:
`unconfirmed_suspension_state_becomes_recoverable_only_after_cleanup_and_suspend`
fails intermittently on clean `master` when the `hosted acpx durable::`
subset runs in parallel. It passed in both full runs.

## Risks

- **Park takes about 1.5 s longer** before it replies with real Claude.
Preparation is capped at 20 s; the host's park wait is 30 s.
- **Configuration changes:** a change between park and the next run
(registered asset paths, tools, prompt) takes the cold path. That's
safe, but saves nothing.
- **Stale environment:** a prepared process was opened with the previous
run's environment and disk state. If credential or configuration files
change on disk while the Runner is parked, the prepared process won't
see them, whereas the cold path would.
- **Failed prepare:** a park that fails after the reap leaves no live
provider. The next turn or `run.attach` starts Claude cold, as today.
- **Scope:** only ACPX Claude prepares. Other providers park exactly as
before.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) in Claude Code, with tool use
(shell, git, GitHub CLI) and subagents.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 0ddc9f1ef1 test(chaos): count an M1 subtask stall only when its recovery needs the board (#20178)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The M1 chaos oracle checks that a parent gets exactly one
`issue_blocker_stalled` wake per stalled subtask (#20147)
> - The product wakes a parent only for a stall that needs the board.
The harness recorded a stall for any blocked subtask, whatever its
latest recovery action
> - In the Daytona M1 wave, a subtask blocked twice on agent- and
system-owned recovery that resolved by itself. The harness counted two
stalls and failed the parent for getting no wake, a false failure
> - This pull request records a stall only when the subtask's latest
recovery action needs the board, matching the product's definition
> - The benefit is that `parent_woken_once_per_stall` fails only for a
wake the product owed

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20147, #20098

**What happened?**
In wave `w-20261109T041248-s9501`, t10's subtask 195b5fd7 was blocked
twice. Action 56d036e0 was agent-owned (`native_session_interrupted`)
and was cancelled. Action 53eb91b0 was system-owned
(`native_continuation_requires_reconciliation`) and resolved with
outcome cancelled. Neither needed the board, so the product correctly
sent no stall wake. The harness still failed
`parent_woken_once_per_stall` with 2 stalls and 0 wakes.

**Expected behavior**
A stall counts when the subtask's latest recovery action is:
- open (active or escalated) and board-owned, or escalated; or
- board-owned and resolved with outcome blocked, with the subtask still
blocked.

That is the definition the product's blocker-stall wake uses.

## What Changed

- `observeChildStalls` reads the parent's `stalledDependencies` from
`GET /api/issues/:id`. That is the product's own stalled-dependency view
(`listStalledDependencies`, built with the same `readStalls` the
blocker-stall wake uses).
- Each `relation: "child"` entry is recorded as a stall
(`stalledIssueId`, `recoveryAction.id`). The harness no longer infers
stalls from `/recovery-actions`. That endpoint lists only open actions
and selected holds, and can omit a board action resolved with outcome
blocked.
- Clicking the board Retry on a blocked subtask is unchanged: it still
happens whenever the product offers Retry, and it still counts as a
needed Retry.
- Tests:
  - a stall the product lists is recorded;
- for t10's two non-board recovery states, the product lists nothing, so
no stall is recorded, and the subtask's Retry is still clicked.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run` in `tests/restart-chaos`: 212 passed.
- `node scripts/typecheck-test-projects.mjs tests/restart-chaos`: clean.

## Risks

- The harness checks `stalledDependencies` every 10 s. A stall that
appears and clears inside one interval is not recorded, so its wake goes
unchecked. It is never reported as a false failure.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 95bf90bd2c fix(chat): post a conversation turn's answer while an approval holds the task (#20179)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - People talk to agents in chat. The agent's final message becomes the
chat reply.
> - A chat turn can end while the task stays held. For example, the
agent resubmits a hire approval and the approval is pending.
> - The finalizer keeps the task in review for the approval
(`governed_response_waiting`). That decision is not
`conversation_turn_finished`.
> - Run completion then treats the yielded turn as a control-plane wait.
It records `presentationDecision: none` and posts no comment.
> - The person never sees the agent's answer. The chat shows nothing
after the request.
> - This pull request counts a committed conversation turn as answered
unless its own pending question or confirmation card presents it.
> - The benefit is that the person always gets the reply, whatever state
the task keeps.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19971 (post the full final reply). That fix covers the reply text.
This fix covers replies that were never posted.

**What happened**

In a chat, the person asked the CEO agent to change a proposed hire to a
cheaper model and send it back for approval. The agent resubmitted the
approval correctly. It called `paperclip_finish`, and Paperclip accepted
the report with "task is still waiting for approval". The run succeeded
and the task moved to `in_review`. The run event
`run.presentation.resolved` recorded `commentAction: none` (reason
`yielded_control_plane_wait` on master). The agent's final message never
reached the chat.

**Expected behavior**

A chat turn's accepted final answer is always posted to the
conversation. An approval, an execution stage or a dependency blocker
can hold the task. It must not hide the reply. Only a question or
confirmation card that the turn itself left pending presents the turn
instead of its prose.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Open an Agent Chat with an agent. Link a hire approval in
`revision_requested` to the chat task.
2. Ask the agent to change the hire and resubmit it.
3. The agent resubmits the approval and ends the turn with a yielded
result and a response wake.
4. See that the chat shows no reply. The run is `succeeded` and its
presentation decision is `none`.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/native-runtime/native-governance.ts`: move the
pending-card query of `pendingNativeGovernance()` into
`pendingNativeInteraction()`, with no change in behavior. Add
`conversationTurnAnswered()`. It returns false only when a pending
thread interaction (the same predicate as status arbitration) gates the
turn. It checks cards on their own, so a pending execution stage does
not hide a card.
- `server/src/services/heartbeat/run-completion.ts`: a successful
conversation run whose status decision committed now passes
`conversationTurnFinished: true` to the presentation resolver, unless
`conversationTurnAnswered()` is false. The existing
`conversation_turn_finished` path is unchanged.
- `server/src/services/heartbeat/run-completion.test.ts`: add a
regression table with a real database. A pending approval, a
revision-requested approval, a pending execution stage and a dependency
blocker now post the answer. A finished turn still posts. The turn's own
question card still owns the response, also when an execution stage is
pending.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: state the rule.

Other finish outcomes I checked:

- `done` or `needs_review` with a gate (`governed_gate_pending`): the
result is not yielded, so the reply was already posted.
- `blocked` (`paperclip_block`, waiting on a person or another task):
not yielded, so the reply was already posted.
- Yielded with a dependency blocker
(`durable_dependency_blocker_bound`), or with
`record_finalization_error` (`prior_status_preserved_no_live_path`,
`monitor_wait_authority_lost`): the reply was also dropped. This fix
covers them, because the rule does not depend on the reason code.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/heartbeat/run-completion.test.ts`: 118 passed. Before the
fix, 4 new cases failed (both approval states, execution stage,
dependency blocker). The finished-turn and question-card cases passed
both before and after.
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-run-summary.test.ts
src/services/heartbeat/run-comment-selection.test.ts
src/__tests__/slack-conversation-lifecycle.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/agent-chat-response-recovery.test.ts
src/__tests__/chat-run-milestone-governed-work.test.ts
src/__tests__/agent-conversations.test.ts`: all passed.
- `tsc --noEmit -p server`: no errors in the changed files. Unrelated
errors in this worktree come from an unbuilt local Runner package.
- An end-to-end chat eval run on the case branch is in progress. I will
add its result here.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change only affects successful Agent Chat runs with a
committed status decision. Ordinary tasks and external chat (Slack,
GitHub) keep their own paths. External chat returns before this check.
- A turn that yields while an approval is pending now posts its prose.
The approval stays pending and the task status does not change.
- One extra small read (the task row and pending gates) runs after a
conversation turn that is not `conversation_turn_finished`. It runs
after the provider turn ends, so it does not add time before the first
token.
- Previous-release state: no persisted shape changes. The fix reads
`finalizationPhase` and `finalizationReasonCode`, which the previous
release already writes. A run in flight at the deploy completes on the
new code and posts its reply. A run that completed before the deploy
keeps its recorded decision; nothing re-presents it.
- Known gap, unchanged: background presentation recovery for
conversations still requires `conversation_turn_finished` with a `done`
result. If the server restarts between the status commit and the live
presentation, a held yielded turn is not re-posted. That is a separate
follow-up.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 c5c587f162 fix(issues): start a deferred children-completed wake the release drain missed (#20180)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A parent that delegates waits for its children, and is woken when
they finish (`issue_children_completed`)
> - Restart chaos t06 ended with both children done and the parent
blocked forever
> - The children finished while the parent's run was still going, so the
wake was deferred as a follow-up. That run then ended with the agent
setting the parent blocked, and the deferred wake was never started
> - The durable re-drivers for deferred wakes cover only
`issue_blockers_resolved`, so nothing else picks up a missed
`issue_children_completed`
> - This pull request makes both re-drivers cover children-completed
wakes too
> - The benefit is that a parent always hears that its children
finished, even when the release drain misses the deferred wake

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19831 (durable ownership plan). Restart chaos wave
`w-20261109T041248-s9501`, task t06 (claude, M1, K2), Daytona per-turn,
master fa7950121d.

**Problem:** parent CHA-10 (all times UTC):
- 04:29:57: run 9cf49f52 started.
- 04:32:35 and 04:32:43: its children CHA-13 and CHA-14 finished.
- 04:32:43: `issue_children_completed` merged into the running turn.
- 04:32:53: that wake was deferred as a follow-up
(`issue_execution_deferred`, `deferred_issue_execution`, no run).
- 04:33:13: the turn ended with the agent setting the parent `blocked`,
a decision made before it saw the children's results.

The deferred wake stayed deferred for the rest of the wave, including
three later restarts. The parent sat blocked with no Retry. The
deferred-receipt worker (`deferred-receipt-work.ts`) and the
stranded-queue resume (`queue.ts`) select deferred dependency wakes with
`issueBlockersResolvedWakePayloadSql`, which matches only
`issue_blockers_resolved`.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/issue-dependency-wakeups.ts`:
`dependencyResolvedWakePayloadSql` and `isDependencyResolvedWakePayload`
replace the blockers-only predicates. They match both
`issue_blockers_resolved` and `issue_children_completed` in
`_paperclipWakeContext.wakeReason`.
- The deferred-receipt worker and the stranded-queue resume use them, so
a deferred children-completed wake is started once the parent has no
live run, the same way a blockers-resolved one is.
- No code comments added.

## Verification

Red/green:
- `deferred-execution-receipt-work.test.ts` "starts a deferred
children-completed wake left behind when its parent's run blocked the
parent (restart chaos t06)". It sets up a blocked parent whose last run
succeeded, a done child, and the deferred `issue_children_completed`
receipt as t06 left it.
  - On master: the receipt stays `deferred_issue_execution` (red).
- With this PR: the receipt completes with exactly one
`issue_children_completed` run.
- `deferred-execution-receipt-work` and
`heartbeat-dependency-scheduling` pass (60 tests). `tsc --noEmit -p
server` is clean.

## Risks

- The workers now also select deferred children-completed wakes.
Admission is unchanged: they still pass the queue's own gates, and they
start only when the issue has no live run, the same as blockers-resolved
wakes.
- No schema change.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 5a51a7685d fix(budgets): raise_budget_and_resume continues the work its budget stopped, once (#20144)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A budget hard stop cancels the scope's running work; the board
resolves it with Raise budget and resume
> - In the restart-chaos H1 scenario, the cancelled tasks did not
continue after resume and each needed a manual Retry
> - Resume is the board's explicit decision to continue, so the work it
stopped should continue once, as if the board clicked Retry
> - This pull request files that Retry automatically, keyed by the
cancelled run, once the run's stop has settled
> - The benefit is that a budget raise restores the work without manual
Retries, without repeating completed work, and without charging the
run's attempt budget

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20143 (bug B; this PR builds on it), #20113 (bug A), #20101
(superseded: split into #20143 and this PR)

**What happened?**
Restart-chaos waves w-20261108T195944-s42 and w-20261108T210118-s9802
(H1). After `raise_budget_and_resume`, CHA-3's budget-cancelled run
(enforcement stop) and CHA-1's run (agent lifecycle pause from the
budget hold) stayed cancelled until someone clicked Retry.

**Expected behavior**
Resuming continues each task its budget stopped, exactly once, with no
attempt charged, an activity entry, and no repeat of work that already
continued. A run a person stopped stays stopped.

**Steps to reproduce**
Set a budget below spend while a task runs; let the stop cancel the run;
resolve with Raise budget and resume. Before this change, no new run is
queued.

## What Changed

- New table `budget_resume_claims` (migration 0451). One row per
cancelled run, outside the run's result JSON, so a Stop that settles
during the resume cannot erase it.
- `markBudgetCancelledWorkForResume` (called by `resolveIncident` before
the incident closes): claims every task run its budget stopped since the
incident opened. That covers runs budget enforcement fenced, including
stops still in flight, and runs the agent lifecycle pause stopped for
this budget (`pauseStop`, carried from the lifecycle operation's
`pauseCause` so a resume before the Stop keeps the link). Runs a person
stopped are excluded. Two indexed passes led by `(company_id, status)`.
- `deliverBudgetResumeContinuations`: once a claimed run's stop settles,
files the resolving board member's Retry (`requestTaskRetry`,
idempotency key `budget-resume:<run>`, with the member's session source
and the chat Retry callback). The Retry path checks, under the task
lock, that the run is still the task's latest and the task is open, so
continued or completed work is never repeated. Claim settlement and its
activity entry commit together; retryable refusals and errors retry.
- Delivery runs in the always-on budget-enforcement worker after each
pass's Stop delivery. Its schedule includes deliverable claims and the
earliest stale-claim expiry. The execution-continuation worker is a
backstop.
- `agent.paused` / `agent.resumed` logging is in #20113.
`budget.cancelled_work_resume_requested` (incident) and
`budget.cancelled_work_continued` / `_not_continued` (task) are recorded
here.

## Verification

- New `budget-resume-continuation.test.ts` (Postgres, real
`resolveIncident` → claims → `requestTaskRetry` → real `resumeTaskRetry`
into a queued run):
- each task continues once, including a blocked task; repeat delivery or
resolve saves nothing new;
- a stop still in flight at resume, whose terminal write replaces the
result JSON, is still continued;
  - a 30-task scope is fully continued;
- a lifecycle-pause stop caused by the budget is continued, and one
caused by a manual pause is not;
- continued work, done tasks, a run that finished before its stop, and
person-stopped runs (including ones enforcement also fenced) are not
continued.
- `lifecycle.test.ts`: the pause records its cause on the operation and
on stopped runs, including when the budget is resumed before the pause's
Stop. `budget-enforcement-worker.test.ts`: delivery after Stop delivery,
and a wake at claim expiry.
- 287 tests across the affected suites passed. Server typecheck
(`typecheck-layers`, low-memory): no errors.
- Not run: the H1 chaos rerun (Phase 3 runs it after merge).

## Risks

- Resume now continues budget-stopped tasks automatically. A board that
wants a task stopped can Stop it again; person-stopped runs are never
continued.
- A new table and one index (migration 0451).

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 61fa13c6d8 test(chaos): add S1, a board Stop across a restart then a continue comment (#20161)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The restart chaos harness drives real user actions across
control-plane restarts: comments, Retry, approvals and budget resumes
> - The board's Stop button on a running task was not exercised. The
cancel route stamps the stop as operator-initiated so that recovery
stands down instead of re-waking the agent
> - A restart right after a Stop is where recovery could wrongly restart
work the operator stopped, or lose the operator's later "continue"
direction
> - This pull request adds S1: stop the running run, fire a fault right
after, then comment to continue
> - The benefit is a graded check that a Stop holds across a restart and
that a later continue comment finishes the task

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20071

**What is missing?**
The campaign's scenario list includes mid-run stops. C1 covers a mid-run
comment (a steer), but no workload clicks Stop. Without one, a
regression where recovery restarts operator-stopped work, or drops the
continue comment, would go unseen.

**Expected behavior**
- After the board stops a run and a restart follows, the stopped run
stays cancelled.
- Nothing runs until the operator comments.
- The continue comment then finishes the task.

## What Changed

- S1 workload ("Stop while running, then continue"): a brief task. At
its follow-up time, while a run is running, the observer posts `POST
/api/heartbeat-runs/:id/cancel` (the board's Stop) and records `stop`.
- New `stop` trigger, for S1 only: the planned fault fires 0–2 s after
the stop.
- The continue comment is posted only after the stop has settled: at
least 20 s after the stop, with no run running or queued and no fault in
progress. It asks the agent to continue and add a `CONTINUE-<nonce>`
line.
- The oracle requires:
  - status done;
  - the brief with the chaos and continue markers;
  - `stop_took_effect`: the stopped run ended `cancelled`;
- `nothing_ran_after_stop`: no run was created between the stop and the
continue comment.
- S1 is not a default workload. There is a README section.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run` in `tests/restart-chaos`: 205 passed. New tests
cover:
- the S1 grade (pass, a run restarted after the stop, the stop not
taking effect, no stop);
  - the trigger-to-workload pairing;
- an observer test that clicks Stop once and posts the continue comment
only after the 20 s settle.
- `node scripts/typecheck-test-projects.mjs tests/restart-chaos`: clean.
- A live S1 wave runs after the current chaos wave. Its result will be
posted here before merge.

## Risks

- If the product moves the stopped run to a status other than
`cancelled`, `stop_took_effect` fails. That check is intentional.
- The continue comment waits for the stop to settle, so a run stuck
`queued` delays it. R5 and the wave deadline still bound the wait.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 b54317d3fb fix(native): give a preparing run's first turn the user's queued messages instead of interrupting it (#20168)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A Paperclip Runner (native) run prepares its workspace and
environment before it starts its first provider turn. This can take
about a minute.
> - A user's message that arrives during that time waits as a deferred
wake behind the run. The Interrupt control then cancelled the run before
any provider turn.
> - The cancel threw away the whole preparation. A new run had to
prepare again, so the user waited longer for the first token.
> - This pull request gives the run's first turn the queued messages.
The run seals its first-turn input immediately before `turn.start`, so
the messages are part of the prompt that the turn starts with.
> - The benefit is that the user sees the message handled in the same
run, with no cancel and no second preparation.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A Paperclip Runner run took about 54 s to prepare (environment startup,
workspace, runtime selection). The user sent a second message 32 s into
that time and clicked Interrupt 21 s later. Interrupt cancelled the run
as `operator_interrupted` ("Interrupted to send queued messages") before
any provider turn. A new run then prepared again from the start. The
runtime-selection transaction that froze the run's input completed about
5 s before the click, and the coordinator claim came 4 s after it, so
the message could not be given to the first turn at any point in the old
code.

**Expected behavior**
When a user message arrives for a task whose current run has not started
its first provider turn, the run does not stop. The message goes into
that run's first turn. A run that is in a turn is interrupted as before.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Assign a task to a Paperclip Runner agent with a sandbox environment,
so preparation takes a long time.
2. While the run prepares, post a second comment on the task.
3. Click Interrupt on the queued message before the run starts its
provider turn.
4. See that the run is cancelled and a new run prepares again.

**Paperclip version or commit**
Staging revision b43cccbb0.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/native-runtime/first-turn-queued-input.ts` (new):
`claimFirstTurnQueuedInput` seals a run's first-turn input in one
transaction. It locks the task, the deferred wakes, and the run in the
same order as the queue routes. It takes the responsible user's plain
queued comments in queue order (not interaction answers, interrupt
intents, independent continuations, conversations, or other users'
messages). It renders them with source-trust sanitizing and secret
redaction, then writes a `firstTurnQueuedInput` receipt
(`paperclip.first-turn-queued-input.v1`) into the run context. A second
call for the same run returns the same messages.
`runAcceptsFirstTurnQueuedInput` is true for a running native (or
preparing native) run that has no receipt and no accepted provider turn.
- `packages/paperclip-runner/src/native-session-runtime.ts`: new
`getFirstTurnQueuedInput` option. The runner calls it immediately before
the first `session.startTurn` and appends the result to `task.prompt`
(or to `events` for a resumed-session continuation envelope). It is not
called for the disposition-only recovery turn.
- `native-session-executor.ts`: passes the claim to the runner. A failed
seal commits nothing, so the executor logs it and starts the turn
without the messages. The messages stay queued.
- `queued-comment-delivery.ts`: a message in a run's receipt counts as
delivered only after the provider accepted that run's turn
(`turn.accepted` or the provider's `turn.started`), and only if the
message was not edited after the seal. Release promotion, Send, and
later first turns use this rule. `explicit-native-continuation.ts` uses
the same rule for stopped native runs.
- `routes/issues.ts` Interrupt: when the target run has not sealed its
first turn and has no accepted turn, the route does not record interrupt
intent and does not cancel the run. The response has
`executionWait.reason = "first_turn_pending"`. Other runs are
interrupted as before.
- Queue views (`routes/issues.ts` and the wake-queue adapter) hide
messages that the active run took into its first turn. Queue edits keep
those ids on the wake, so a run that fails before acceptance still
leaves them queued.
- `run-state.ts`: the issue-control run projection includes the receipt,
so the queue poll can hide taken messages.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: new section "Queued messages before a
native run's first turn".

## Verification

- Red before the fix, green after:
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/issue-queued-comments-routes.test.ts -t "first
turn|already started"`: Interrupt on a preparing run and on a claimed
native run before `turn.start` does not stop the run, and the first turn
gets both messages in order. Before the fix, both cases cancelled the
run.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec vitest run
src/native-session-runtime.test.ts -t "first-turn queued input"`: the
claim runs immediately before `turn.start`, and the first turn's prompt
ends with the queued messages. Before the fix, the claim was never
called.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/first-turn-queued-input.test.ts`: a run that
fails before `turn.start` leaves the message queued. The next run
delivers it, and after that no later run or copied retry context takes
it again. Before the delivery rule, the "exactly once" and "accepted
then failed" cases failed.
- Safety cases that pass before and after: Interrupt still cancels a run
whose provider accepted a turn (including a run saved by the previous
release with no receipt) and a run whose first-turn input is already
sealed. The existing "explicit interrupt fallback" cases for preparing
and native runs without a responsible user still pass.
- Speed: the seal is one short transaction before `turn.start`. In the
embedded-Postgres test it took 5.5 ms. It removes a full second
preparation (54 s on staging) from the message-to-first-token time.
- Related suites: `src/modules/wake-queue`,
`explicit-native-continuation`, `issue-queued-comment-queue`,
`issue-queued-comments-routes`, `queued-comment-consumption`,
`heartbeat/run-state` (888 tests), `native-session-executor.test.ts`
(1306 tests), and the full `native-session-runtime.test.ts` (238 tests)
pass. `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` passes.
- Not done: no live run against a real provider or sandbox. Staging was
read only.

## Risks

- Previous-release state: a deferred wake saved by the previous release
has the same shape and is taken normally. A run saved by the previous
release has no receipt. If it is resumed before its first turn, it seals
on the new release. If its provider already accepted a turn, Interrupt
stops it as before. A run saved by the previous release while it was in
`turn.start` but before acceptance counts as unsealed, so in that short
window an Interrupt does not stop it and the message is delivered at the
turn boundary.
- Rollback: if the server rolls back after a run sealed and its turn was
accepted, the old release does not read the receipt and can deliver
those messages a second time.
- A first turn that does not use the fresh-turn path (restart
continuation, disposition-only recovery) does not call the claim. Its
messages are delivered at the turn boundary as before.
- A message that arrives after the seal waits for the turn boundary.
Interrupt stops the run as before.
- No schema migration. The receipt is a key in the run context.

Devin FoleyandClaude Opus 5.5 32b3648758 fix(storage): back off and reduce parallel parts when S3 asks to slow down (#20165)
A workspace snapshot upload sends up to eight file-backed parts at once. The SDK never retries a part because its body is a stream, so a part that received 503 SlowDown had only the uploader's three fixed-delay attempts (0.5 s and 1 s). Under a request-rate limit the save failed and the run failed in setup.

A rate-limited part now retries with exponential full-jitter backoff (up to eight attempts, at most 20 s per wait), and the upload halves the parts it admits, once per round of throttled requests. Other part failures keep the existing three attempts. Tests cover a real-client SlowDown recovery, the single halving, the attempt bound, cancellation during a wait, and the backoff schedule through its ceiling.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 098f7d370b fix(workspaces): release an unchanged remote writer without a snapshot and wake its waiters (#20171)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A remote (sandbox) task workspace has one writer run at a time. The
writer holds the workspace until its files are saved as a snapshot
> - A run that a user comment interrupts right after its claim did no
work. No provider turn started and no command ran in the sandbox
> - Paperclip still kept its sandbox, then took a full snapshot of the
unchanged workspace. On a 2 GB repository this took 3 minutes
> - The next runs failed setup with `workspace_busy` ("ended, but its
workspace save has not settled"). The retry then waited for the
one-minute settling re-check after the save. The user's message waited
more than 4 minutes
> - This pull request releases such a writer at once, at the saved
version it started from, when durable evidence proves that it changed
nothing. It also wakes parked `workspace_busy` waiters when a hold
settles
> - The benefit is that an interrupted run no longer delays the next
message by a full workspace save

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A remote-workspace run was claimed (`native.coordinator.claim`). One
second later a board comment interrupted it (`operator_interrupted`). It
made no provider turn and no tool calls. Cancelled-workspace
preservation still retained its sandbox, and workspace recovery took a
full `remote_workspace_snapshot` of the unchanged workspace (3 minutes
for a 2 GB repository). Two follow-up runs were cancelled with
`workspace_busy`. Their retry was due during the save, and it parked for
the one-minute settling re-check after the save finished.

**Expected behavior**
A writer that provably changed nothing releases the workspace at once
and keeps its existing `snapshotId`. The next run is admitted without
`workspace_busy`. When a save does run, waiters start as soon as it
commits.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a task on a remote sandbox workspace that already has a saved
version.
2. Interrupt the run with a board comment right after the claim, before
the provider turn.
3. See the full snapshot operation on the interrupted run and
`workspace_busy` on the follow-up runs.

**Paperclip version or commit**
Staging served revision b43cccbb0. Reproduced on `master` by the new
regression tests.

## What Changed

- `prepareRemoteWorkspace` records `remoteWorkspaceUnchangedBaseline`
(epoch, writer run, saved version) when preparation started from a clean
saved version and added nothing to it: no recovered attachments, no
repository outside the saved version and no workspace migration.
- New `proveRemoteWorkspaceUnchanged`
(`remote-workspace-unchanged-proof.ts`). It uses only durable evidence.
The writer run must have ended without a result, and its owner fence
must be clear. It must have no process fields, no execution, provider or
tool events (the shared `executionStartedEventPredicate`), no native
result, no runner checkpoint rows (the controller writes one before
every runner command), and no provider turn in a checkpoint that names
this run. It must have no workspace operation other than a restore or a
`workspace_finalize`/`workspace_recovery` receipt, so provisioning and
saves count as writes. Every task repository must be in the saved
version. Any missing or ambiguous evidence refuses.
- New `releaseUnchangedRemoteWorkspaceWriter`. It sets the authority to
clean with no writer, keeps `snapshotId`, marks the run reference
`saved`, logs `workspace.snapshot_skipped_unchanged` and sends the same
notifications as a final save. It never waits on a writer run that
another transaction holds (`skip locked`).
- The release applies in three places: the next run's
`reserveRemoteWorkspace`, cancelled/failed-workspace preservation
(`preserveNativeFailedWorkspace`), and `saveRemoteWorkspace` with the
final boundary. The final save returns the same version on a repeated
call, so a recovery that raced the release finishes without a capture.
- The final-save commit and the unchanged release call
`wakeWorkspaceBusyWaitersInTx`. A parked waiter whose holder was that
writer is due at once, not at the one-minute settling re-check.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md` describes the release and the wake.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/services/remote-workspace-unchanged-release.test.ts` (13 tests,
embedded Postgres, real archive capture):
- Staging shape (claim, then interrupt with no provider work): the next
reservation is admitted. No snapshot operation is recorded. The run
reference is `saved` at the old `snapshotId`. Red on `master`: "The
workspace still has an unfinished writer or save operation."
- A later final save, behind the `workspace_finalize` receipt that
production finalizers publish first, returns the same version with no
capture, a repeat returns it again, and a parked waiter becomes due now.
Red on `master`: a new snapshot is captured.
- Negatives that still do a full save: `turn.started`, `provider.event`,
`tool.execution.started`, `native.process_start_requested`, a
provisioning command that wrote into the workspace, a recorded process,
a live owner fence, and a writer that is still running.
- Upgrade safety: no baseline (a writer prepared by the previous
release), a baseline without its saved version, and a baseline with
another schema each keep the full save.
  - A full final save wakes the parked waiter. Red on `master`.
- `native-cancelled-workspace-preservation.test.ts`: a new case shows
that a cancelled writer with a baseline and no work is released, with no
retained lease and no recovery action. Red on `master` (the
restore-recovery hold was recorded). The other 44 cases pass unchanged.
- I also ran the related remote-workspace, workspace-recovery, native
preservation and run-dispatch suites locally.

## Risks

- A false "unchanged" verdict would drop unsaved files. The proof
requires a positive baseline from preparation and refuses on any write
record. Only `.paperclip-runtime` (excluded from snapshots) is written
by runner staging before a process starts. A deploy that lands mid-run
keeps the full save, because the proof reads only durable rows.
- Previous-release state: a writer prepared without the baseline (or
with an unknown or partial one) keeps today's full save. An older server
ignores the new metadata key.
- Waiters now start sooner after a final save. Arrival order among
waiters is unchanged (the park check still admits the earliest first).
- Other ways a hold can settle (for example a stop receipt that turns an
unused reservation free) still rely on the one-minute re-check.

evidence).

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 8e5959c759 fix(agents): keep pause board-only and resume grant-gated on the PATCH status route (#20164)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The board governs the agent lifecycle: pause, resume and terminate
> - The V1 permission matrix says agents may never pause an agent, and
may resume one only with a direct `agents:configure` change grant
> - `POST /api/agents/:id/pause` and `POST /api/agents/:id/resume`
enforce this, but `PATCH /api/agents/:id` with a `status` ran the same
lifecycle change after only the agent-configuration check
> - The `agents.pause-agent` chat eval caught it: the CEO agent paused
Morgan itself through `PATCH`, although the case (and the spec) expect a
board user to do it
> - This pull request applies the dedicated routes' checks to `PATCH`
status changes, as #19955 did for termination
> - The benefit is one lifecycle authority, with no second route around
it

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19955

**What happened**

An agent that may configure another agent could pause it with `PATCH
/api/agents/{id}` `{ "status": "paused" }`, although `POST
/api/agents/{id}/pause` is board-only. The same `PATCH` with `{
"status": "idle" }` resumed an agent without the change-grant decision
and without the invalid-org-chain guard that `POST /resume` applies. In
a chat eval run, the CEO agent paused Morgan this way and reported
"Morgan is paused".

**Expected behavior**

Pause is board-only on every route (`doc/SPEC-implementation.md` section
9.3: "Pause/resume agent ... pause: no; resume: direct
`agents:configure` grant only"; "Pause, clear-error, terminate,
approval, and key-management routes remain board-only"). An agent gets
the standard final "Board access required" denial with a link to the
agent's profile. Resume through `PATCH` needs the same grant and
org-chain checks as `POST /resume`.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. As an agent with agent-configuration permission over another agent,
call `POST /api/agents/{id}/pause`. The result is 403.
2. Call `PATCH /api/agents/{id}` with `{ "status": "paused" }`. Before
this change the result is 200 and the agent is paused.

## What Changed

- `server/src/routes/agents.ts` (`PATCH /agents/:id`): `status:
"paused"` now calls `assertBoard`, the same check as `POST /pause`.
Agents get the structured `board_access_required` denial that says the
denial is final and links `/<prefix>/agents/<id>`.
- `status: "idle"` now calls `assertCanResumeAgent` (the
`agent_config:update` decision with `requiresChangeGrant`) and returns
409 with the repair guidance when the org chain is invalid, the same as
`POST /resume`.
- `server/src/__tests__/agent-permissions-routes.test.ts`: pause is
denied through both routes for an agent allowed to configure the target,
with no lifecycle change, run cancel or activity. A board user can still
pause through `PATCH`. `PATCH` idle applies the change-grant decision,
allows a granted agent, and keeps the org-chain guard.

## Verification

- `cd server && pnpm exec vitest run
src/__tests__/agent-permissions-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/agent-cross-tenant-authz-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/board-access-denial.test.ts`: 147 passed.
- Without the route change, three new tests fail (PATCH pause by an
agent, PATCH idle without the change grant, PATCH idle with an invalid
org chain).
- Policy evidence: `doc/SPEC-implementation.md` section 9.3 and the
`agents.pause-agent` scenario ("Pausing an agent requires board
control").

## Risks

- Non-board automation that paused agents through `PATCH` status now
gets 403. That is the intended governance boundary. Board users are not
affected.
- Agents that resumed agents through `PATCH` status now need the same
change grant as `POST /resume`. Standard agents get `agents:configure`
on creation, so ordinary behavior does not change.
- `PATCH` idle now returns 409 for an agent with an invalid org chain,
the same as `POST /resume`.

## Model Used

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 f89813d005 fix(api-catalog): describe the real backup and restore paths for agents (#20159)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Instance admins and operators own database backups; a chat agent
cannot create one
> - When a person asks an agent to back up the instance and check a
restore, the agent must say who can do it and how
> - The agent reads the API catalog to find the operator path, but the
backup entry had only the summary "Trigger a database backup"
> - With no real path in the catalog, the agent told the person to use
an "Instance settings > Backups" page that does not exist
> - This pull request describes the real paths in that catalog entry:
the endpoint, the CLI, the retention setting, the result file, and how
to check a restore safely
> - The benefit is that the agent sends the person to paths that exist
and keeps a restore check off the live database

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened**

A person asked the CEO chat agent: "Back up this test instance and check
that we can restore it." The agent got 403 on `POST
/api/instance/database-backups`, which is correct. It searched the
catalog for backup and restore operations and found only that endpoint
with no description. Its reply then said: "Create a backup in Instance
settings → Backups". The web UI has no such page or control.

**Expected behavior**

The agent says that an instance admin or operator must do this. It names
real paths: the endpoint for an instance admin, `paperclipai db:backup`
on the server host, and the Backup retention setting for automatic
backups. For the restore check, it says to restore into a separate empty
database, not over the live one.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a local instance and open a chat with the CEO agent.
2. Ask: "Back up this test instance and check that we can restore it."
3. Read the reply: it names a backup page in Instance settings. Look for
it in the UI: there is none.

## What Changed

- `server/src/routes/openapi.ts`: add a description to `POST
/api/instance/database-backups`. It says that only instance admins can
call it (agents get 403, cloud-managed instances run backups for you),
that automatic backups run about hourly with retention set on the
company-prefixed /company/settings page, that the UI has no create or
restore control, that an operator can run `paperclipai db:backup`, what
the result file is, and that a restore check uses psql into a separate
empty database, never over the live one.
- `server/src/routes/openapi.ts`: register the success status as `201`,
which is what the route returns, instead of `200`. The published
document already showed `201` through the created-operations fixup, so
this makes the source match it.
- `server/src/__tests__/database-backup-catalog-guidance.test.ts`: new
regression test. It runs the agent's catalog searches from the failed
run and checks the description. It also checks that the published
document shows `201` and not `200` for a successful backup.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run
src/__tests__/database-backup-catalog-guidance.test.ts
src/__tests__/openapi-routes.test.ts` (from `server/`): 40 tests pass.
Without the change, the 2 search tests fail. The status test guards the
published document, which the fixup already kept correct.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
src/__tests__/instance-database-backups-routes.test.ts`: 7 tests pass.
The server typecheck passes.
- Chat eval `instance-operations.backup-and-restore` (runner-opencode),
with this commit cherry-picked onto the eval branch: before the change,
the reply named an "Instance settings → Backups" page that does not
exist. After the change (GitHub Actions run 42552777052), the eval
passed. The first reply said the agent got 403, named `POST
/api/instance/database-backups` for an instance admin and `paperclipai
db:backup --json` for an operator, linked Backup retention on the
company settings page, and said to restore with psql into a separate,
empty database, never over the live one. The second reply reported the
operator's restore receipt and its limits correctly.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change adds catalog text and makes the registered
success status match the published 201. It does not change any API or
permission behavior.
- If a backup page or restore command is added later, this text must
change. The regression test names these facts, so such a change fails
the test and shows the text to update.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 3f12046576 fix(tool-access): an unscoped tools:use grant does not turn on actions a connection left off (#20160)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - People connect apps and choose which actions of each app agents may
call; the choice is saved as the connection's tool profile
> - Every new standard agent also gets an unscoped `tools:use` grant,
which means "this agent may use tools"
> - The access policy checked explicit grants before profiles, so this
default grant allowed every action of every installed connection,
including actions the person left off
> - The agent's effective profile showed the action off, but the gateway
and the test-as-agent summary allowed it
> - This pull request makes an unscoped grant stop at a connection
profile: when a profile governs the tool's connection, only a grant
scoped to the action, connection or application allows an action the
profile leaves off
> - The benefit is that the actions a person turns off for a connection
stay off for new agents

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened**

A person connected an app with one read action and one destructive write
action. When they finished the connection, they enabled only the read
action. They installed the connection for a new agent, Morgan. Morgan's
effective profile (`GET
/api/companies/{companyId}/tools/profiles/effective/agents/{agentId}`)
allowed only the read action. But `GET
/api/tool-connections/{connectionId}/test-agents/{agentId}/access`
reported both actions as `allowed` with reason `allow_explicit_grant`,
and a chat agent told the person that Morgan could also run the
destructive write. The same policy decision admits gateway calls, so
Morgan could call the write.

**Expected behavior**

An action that the connection's profile leaves off is off for the agent.
The access summary, the effective profile and the gateway agree. A grant
that a person scopes to that action, connection or application still
allows it.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Connect an MCP app that has a read tool and a destructive tool. In
the finish step, enable only the read tool.
2. Create a new agent through the API (it gets the default unscoped
`tools:use` grant) and install the connection for it.
3. Call `GET
/api/tool-connections/{connectionId}/test-agents/{agentId}/access`: the
destructive tool shows `allowed`, reason `allow_explicit_grant`.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/tool-access-policy.ts`: for an agent, a tool's
connection is governed by a connection profile when the agent's
effective profiles include the connection's own access profile (the app
wizard's `app:<connectionId>` profile or the agent's connection-intent
profile, even with no entries), or any entry that names this connection
or selects this action (including application, tool-name and risk-level
selectors). For a governed connection, `explicitGrant` counts only
grants whose scope names an action, connection or application (`allow`,
`toolName`, `catalogEntryId`, `connectionId`, `applicationId`,
`applicationKey`). A grant scoped only by context (for example an agent
or project) still covers every tool, so it does not override the
profile. Board users keep their operator grant.
- `server/src/services/tool-profile-binding-precedence.ts`: export the
existing connection-profile identity check as
`isConnectionAccessProfile`, so the policy and binding precedence use
one definition.
- `server/src/__tests__/generic-mcp-connection.test.ts`: regression
tests through the gateway's access summary and the direct policy check:
- only the read action enabled: the write stays off with the unscoped
grant, and a grant scoped to the write allows it
- every action turned off (both lists empty): both stay off; a
context-only scope stays off; a connection-scoped or application-scoped
grant allows them
- an agent the connection's profile does not cover keeps the unscoped
grant
- a general profile with an application-selector exclude (no connection
id) is not overridden by the unscoped grant
- with company-wide access, the direct policy check denies the off
action for an agent and still allows it for a board user with the
unscoped grant

## Verification

- New tests: all pass with the change. On `master`, 4 of 5 fail. On the
first revision of this PR, the all-off, application-exclude and
board-user tests fail.
- Regression suites, all pass: `generic-mcp-connection`,
`tool-access-policy-service`, `tool-profile-matching`,
`tool-profile-entry-order`, `connection-management.integration` (238
tests), and `tool-access-service`, `tool-gateway-service`,
`tool-gateway`, `tool-profile-review-service` (799 tests).
- Every enforcement path uses the one `decide` function in
`tool-access-policy.ts`, and `explicitGrant` is called only there. That
covers the gateway tool listing and calls, the access summary, delegated
and Test tab calls, the connection-intent access check, the GitHub
review bot tool, and the example smoke check.
- Chat eval `app-permissions.test-as-agent` (runner-opencode). Before
the change (GitHub Actions run 42550085273), the access summary for
Morgan reported the write as `allowed` by `allow_explicit_grant`. With
the first commit cherry-picked onto the eval branch, GitHub Actions run
42552819589 passed. The summary reported `launch_read` allowed
(`allow_profile`) and `launch_update` off (`deny_default`), which
matches Morgan's effective profile, and the agent's reply said the same.

## Risks

- Medium risk. This changes an access decision. An agent that used a
connection action only through its default unscoped grant, while the
connection's profile or an explicit exclude left that action off, loses
that action. That is the intended fix. An operator who relied on it must
enable the action in the connection or give the agent a grant that names
the action, connection or application.
- A grant scoped only by context (for example `{ projectId }`) no longer
overrides a connection profile. Risk-level and provider-type scopes are
not treated as naming an action.
- Tools that no connection profile governs (for example Paperclip's own
tools), agents without a connection profile, and board users keep the
current behavior.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 28e070f8dc feat(skills): show a line diff for a pending tracked-source update (#20155)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Skills can come from a tracked GitHub source, and an update moves
the installed copy to a newer upstream revision
> - Before an update, a person asks the agent "what changed in the new
version?"
> - The product has no diff for a pending update. The agent previews two
full SKILL.md snapshots and compares them by eye
> - In two eval runs the agent reversed the same changed line. In a
third run it fetched the files with curl and ran `diff` itself, and the
turn took too long
> - This pull request adds a read-only endpoint that returns the line
diff between the installed and the latest tracked revision
> - The benefit is that review answers come from an exact diff, and they
come faster

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists. Feature description:

**What happened**
An agent asked to show what changed in a pending skill update had only
`POST /skill-sources/preview`, which returns one file at one commit. It
previewed both commits and compared about 9 KB of text by eye. It
reported one changed line in the wrong direction ("every new build" ->
"every build or release" instead of the reverse), and later retracted a
real change.

**Expected behavior**
The agent can request the exact changes of a pending tracked-source
update and report them with the correct direction.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Install a skill from a GitHub source at an old commit and set the
tracking reference to a newer commit (automatic updates off).
2. Ask the chat agent: "Show me what changed in the new accessibility
skill version before we update it."
3. See that the agent can only preview full files at each commit and
must compare them itself.

## What Changed

- Add `GET /api/companies/{companyId}/skills/{skillId}/update-diff`. For
a skill from a tracked GitHub source, it compares the installed source
revision (`currentRef`) with the latest tracked revision (`latestRef`).
For each changed package file it returns `change` (added, removed,
modified, or `not_compared`), `binary`, `executableChanged`, and a
unified line diff (`-` installed, `+` latest), or `diffUnavailable`
(`binary`, `too_large`, `omitted`, `budget`) that says why there is no
diff. The endpoint is read-only. The `skillId` parameter handler checks
company access and skill visibility, the same checks other skill reads
use.
- `hasUpdate` is false and `files` is empty when the installed revision
is already the latest one. That case reads only the latest commit and
scans nothing.
- Return `supported: false` with a reason for: a skill without a tracked
source, a disconnected source, an unknown installed revision, and a
repository package that a scan could include only in part (a subset, or
skill folders only). In the last case, files that a scan limit left out
would otherwise look removed.
- A path the scan left out of a revision (too large, a symlink, or
rejected by the audit) is listed as `not_compared` instead of added or
removed.
- One response shares a work budget (24M LCS cells), a diff-text budget
(1M characters) and a file-count budget (1,000 files), and sets
`truncated` when it reaches one. The GitHub read and both scans stop
when the caller disconnects.
- Add `server/src/services/skill-update-diff.ts` with a bounded line
diff (shared head and tail trimmed, LCS size capped). An absent side has
no lines, a final newline is not a line, and a missing final newline
shows the unified-diff marker. A replaced line reads `-old` then `+new`.
- Add the shared types `SkillSourceUpdateDiff` and
`SkillSourceUpdateDiffFile`.
- Document the endpoint in the API catalog (`openapi.ts`) so agents find
it with `search_api`.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run src/__tests__/skill-update-diff.test.ts`
(10 tests):
  - direction of `-`/`+` lines, and separate hunks with bounded context
  - exact diffs for added and removed files, and final-newline handling
  - a change to only the executable bit, and paths left out of a scan
  - the response budgets
- the snapshot comparison for the selected skill path, with the abort
signal passed to both scans
  - a commit mismatch
  - refusal of partial repository scans
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/skill-update-diff-routes.test.ts` (6 tests):
  - the diff response
  - no pending update (no scan)
- a caller from another company (board user and agent) gets 403 before
any lookup
  - a skill the caller cannot read gets 404 before any source read
  - every unsupported case
  - a client disconnect aborts the scans
- `company-skills-routes.test.ts` and `openapi-routes.test.ts` pass (119
tests across the four files).
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server`: no errors from this change.
- End to end: the `skills.review-update` chat eval exercises this path.
Its grader checks the quoted hunks against the real pinned diff.

## Risks

- Low risk. The endpoint is new and read-only. Existing routes do not
change.
- When an update is pending, each call scans the source twice (installed
and latest commit). It uses the same GitHub reader, scan limits and scan
slots as preview and refresh. The diff work and response size are capped
per response.
- `/update-status` and this route both read the latest commit of the
tracking ref. They are kept separate because `/update-status` compares
with the source's last scan, while this route compares with the
installed revision.
- No UI uses the endpoint yet.

execution in Claude Code.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 4afdf0493d fix(api-catalog): name the Connections page for company model service settings (#20152)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A company can turn on model services such as Fast response, Decision
model and Prompt Injection Prevention
> - Only people who manage connections can change these services, so a
chat agent must send the person to the right page
> - The agent finds these operations through the API catalog search, but
their catalog entries named no page
> - The agent searched for the settings page, found nothing, and linked
the general /company/settings page, which does not have the control
> - This pull request adds a description to these catalog entries that
names the section and the company-prefixed /company/settings/connections
page
> - The benefit is that the agent links the page that actually holds the
control

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened**

A person asked the CEO chat agent: "Help me enable the company's Fast
response feature so chat acknowledges my requests faster." The agent
correctly got 403 on the fast-response API. It then searched the API
catalog for "company settings page fast responses web UI" and found no
page. It linked the general company settings page
(`/<prefix>/company/settings`) and told the person to find Fast response
there. That page has no Fast response section. The section is on
/company/settings/connections.

**Expected behavior**

The agent links /<prefix>/company/settings/connections and tells the
person to use the Fast response section there. If the section is hidden,
the agent can say that an instance admin turns the experiment on.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Turn on the fast responses experiment. Create a shared OpenRouter API
connection.
2. Open a chat with the CEO agent and ask it to enable Fast response.
3. Read the reply: it links /<prefix>/company/settings. Open that link:
the page has no Fast response control.

## What Changed

- `server/src/routes/openapi.ts`: add one shared description to the
fast-response, decision-model and prompt-injection-prevention catalog
entries. It names the section, the company-prefixed
/company/settings/connections page, the Markdown link form, and that
agent credentials cannot change or test the service. For Fast response,
it also names the instance experiment that hides the section.
-
`server/src/__tests__/company-model-service-settings-guidance.test.ts`:
new regression test. It runs the agent's catalog search (including the
query from the failed run) and checks that the results name the
Connections page and section. It also requires every page the
descriptions name to be a route that `ui/src/App.tsx` mounts, so
renaming a settings route fails CI.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run
src/__tests__/company-model-service-settings-guidance.test.ts` (from
`server/`): 6 tests pass. Without the catalog change, the 5 search tests
fail. If the Connections route in `ui/src/App.tsx` is renamed, the route
test fails.
- `pnpm exec vitest run src/__tests__/openapi-routes.test.ts`: 37 tests
pass.
- Chat eval `companies.fast-responses` (runner-opencode), with this
commit cherry-picked onto the eval branch: before the change, the reply
linked the general settings page, which has no Fast response control.
After the change (GitHub Actions run 42549422681), the eval passed. The
reply linked the Experimental settings page and the Connections page and
said to use the Fast response section there. The scripted person clicked
the reply's links and found the Fast response control on the Connections
page, then saved and tested it.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change adds catalog text only. It does not change any
API or permission behavior.
- If the settings page moves, these descriptions become wrong. The
regression test compares every page the descriptions name with the
routes in `ui/src/App.tsx`, so a route change that does not also update
the description fails CI.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 f316562045 test(chaos): wait for new agents to be ready before the first assignment (#20158)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The restart chaos harness grades each run's time to first activity
against the speed budgets
> - The performance session traced an 8–12 s "first claim" delay on
every wave's first cold runs. A brand-new agent spends about 8 s in
`lifecycleState: verifying` while its harness runs a real hello probe,
and queued runs start only when it becomes ready
> - The chaos waves create agents and assign the first tasks in the same
second, so those runs carry the one-time verification. Their cold
first-activity and boot looked over budget even though dispatch after
ready takes 40–60 ms
> - This pull request makes the waves wait for each agent to be ready
before the first assignment, records how long verification took, and
fails the wave if an agent never verifies
> - The benefit is that cold-start grades measure task startup, while
agent verification stays visible as its own number

**What happened?**
In waves `w-20261109T021322-s9801` (G1) and the K4/K6 wave, every new
agent's first cold runs waited 8–12 s in `heartbeat.queue`. The
performance session reproduced it locally: the agent is in
`lifecycleState: verifying` while a hello probe runs, and its queued
runs start on `onReady`. `ttft-baseline.ts` already waits for `ready`
before launching tasks, so it never showed the delay.

**Expected behavior**
The chaos waves start their first task after the agent is ready, as the
baseline does, and they report the verification time.

## What Changed

- `seed.ts`: new `waitForAgentsReady` polls each new agent until
`lifecycleState` is `ready`, with a 4-minute cap.
- It records `seed_agent_ready` with `readyAfterMs` per agent on the
timeline.
- It throws, failing the wave, if an agent reports a `lifecycleError` or
never becomes ready.
- `seedChaosLab` runs it when `waitForReadyAgents` is set. `main.ts`
sets it for every wave. `ttft-baseline.ts` keeps its own readiness
logic, which skips unready adapters.
- The seed test's fake API answers agent reads as ready.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run` in `tests/restart-chaos`: 205 passed. New tests cover
the wait, the verification-error failure and the timeout failure.
- `node scripts/typecheck-test-projects.mjs tests/restart-chaos`: clean.

## Risks

- Waves start about 8 s later, once per wave.
- A product regression that keeps agents in `verifying` now fails the
wave at seeding with a clear error, instead of showing as slow first
tasks.
- The one-time verification delay a user sees on a new agent's first
task is no longer in the cold grade. It stays in the timeline
(`seed_agent_ready`) for anyone tracking it.

## Model Used

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 43fe87795a fix(authz): make board-only denials final and actionable for agents (#20151)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - People talk to their agents in Agent Chat, and the agents act
through the Paperclip API
> - Many API routes are board-only. The shared `assertBoard` check
returns 403 `"Board access required"` to an agent, with no other detail
> - The chat guidance also told the agent to "use permitted discovery to
identify the supported operator path" after such a denial
> - So the agent keeps searching the API, `call_api` and the shell for a
second route. On a slow model, this search uses the whole reply window
and the person gets no answer
> - Earlier single-route fixes (#19990, #20041, #20008) showed the
remedy: a denial that says it is final and names where the person acts.
Reply time fell from 10-24 minutes to about 2 minutes
> - This pull request applies that remedy once, in the shared board-only
check and in the chat guidance
> - The benefit is a prompt, correct handoff for every board-only action
that an agent cannot do

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19990, #20008, #20041 (same remedy for single routes).

**What happened**
In about 30 Agent Chat evaluation cases on a slower model, the agent got
403 "Board access required" (or read `authorization.actor: "board"` in
the API catalog). Then it searched for another route until the attempt
deadline. Examples: archive a company, set up a managed agent profile,
add a company secret. In one recorded run, the agent got the 403 at
minute 1, then tried PATCH, environment variables, the CLI and UI paths
for more than 3 more minutes, and never replied.

**Expected behavior**
A board-only denial is final. The agent stops, tells the person that a
board user must do the action, links the page in the Paperclip web app
where they can do it, and ends its reply.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Open Agent Chat with a CEO agent.
2. Ask it to archive the company (or to add a company secret).
3. The agent calls `POST /api/companies/{id}/archive` and gets `{
"error": "Board access required" }`.
4. The body says nothing about finality or where the person acts. The
agent searches for other routes and replies late or not at all.

## What Changed

- `server/src/routes/authz.ts`: `assertBoard` now throws
`boardAccessRequired(req)`. For an agent actor, the 403 body adds `code:
"board_access_required"` and a `remediation`. The remediation says the
action is board-only by design, the denial is final, and no other route
can do it. When the API path maps to a known board page, it links that
page with a `<prefix>` placeholder: company settings, company secrets,
budgets, members, tool gateways, connection settings (decision model,
prompt injection prevention), an approval, or the agent profile tab that
holds the control (API keys, permissions, budget, identity, harness
settings). Otherwise it says to link a page only when the route is
already known, and not to search for one. Board and anonymous actors get
the same body as before.
- `environments.ts`, `instance-settings.ts` and the issue force-release
route used their own copy of the check. They now call `assertBoard`, so
they return the same denial. Status and error text do not change.
- `server/src/middleware/error-handler.ts`: for this code, the handler
does not repeat `code` and `remediation` inside `details`. They are
already top-level, and the copy only made the agent's context longer.
- `AGENT_CHAT_DIRECTIVE`: the board-identity paragraph now says that a
board-only operation (catalog actor `board`, or a 403 "Board access
required") is final. The agent must stop searching, tell the person
which control in the web app to use, and link it when it knows the
route. The old instruction to "discover the operator path" is removed.
- Claude Managed Agent setup: the Paperclip Runner configuration doc and
the `POST /api/companies/{companyId}/managed-agent-profiles` catalog
entry now say that a board operator creates and qualifies the profile
(limited environment, retention acknowledgement) and that agents cannot.
Before, an agent asked for an "Anthropic managed agent" explored hiring
and adapter docs for its whole reply window.
- Tests: new `board-access-denial.test.ts` covers the agent body for
each mapped page, the agent profile tabs, the general fallback, the
unmapped fast-response route, the org-access guard, the unchanged
non-agent body, the guidance and the managed profile catalog entry. Two
exact-body tests now also expect the new code.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run src/__tests__/board-access-denial.test.ts
src/__tests__/costs-service.test.ts
src/__tests__/browser-use-route-scope.test.ts
src/__tests__/primary-agent-guidance.test.ts
src/__tests__/agent-cross-tenant-authz-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/company-portability-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/issue-comment-cancel-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/error-handler.test.ts
src/__tests__/managed-agent-profile-routes-authz.test.ts
src/__tests__/companies-route-cross-company-authz.test.ts
src/__tests__/environment-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/environment-instance-routes.test.ts`: all pass.
- Real chat journeys on the chat evaluation branch (runner-opencode,
`deepseek-v4.1-flash`). Before this change, each case below got no reply
before its deadline:
- `companies.archive-company`: passed. Reply 47 s after the request
(before: none in 270 s). The agent read the remediation and linked
`/COM/company/settings`.
- `companies.configure-decision-model`: passed. Reply 68 s after the
request (before: none in 389 s). It linked
`/COM/company/settings/connections`.
- `companies.prompt-injection-guard`: reply 85 s after the request
(before: none in 390 s), with the correct handoff and link. The case
still fails later, in the scripted settings step: the saved model is the
default, not the model the script typed. That is a separate defect.
- `navigation-preferences.sidebar-order`: reply 99 s after the request
(before: none in 150 s). The case still fails in its scripted sidebar
step (a locator was not found).
- `secrets.configure-company-secret`: reply 6.5 min after the request
(before: none in 7.5 min). The reply is correct, but a grader keyword
check reads "chat is not a safe place to send it" as a request for the
secret.
- `agents.managed-profile`: still no reply in its 150 s window. After
the catalog change, the agent found the board-only profile setup within
30 s, but then spent about 90 s deciding what "Anthropic managed agent"
means.

## Risks

- Low risk. The HTTP status and the `error` text stay the same for every
actor. Board users and anonymous callers get the same body as before.
- Agent actors now get two more top-level fields (`code`,
`remediation`). A client that compares the whole 403 body of an agent
call exactly will see a change. Two server tests did this and are
updated.
- The page map uses the API path. A wrong map entry gives a less useful
link but does not change authorization.

## Model Used

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 fa7950121d fix(native): move an interrupted bootstrap's session aside on the run's own created sandbox lease (#20154)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - When restart recovery proves a remote bootstrap reached no provider
work, it bootstraps the same run again in the same sandbox. Before
relaunching, it stops the interrupted runner (#20103)
> - The relaunch starts a fresh controller record, whose command ids
restart at `command_prp_00000001`. The sandbox still held the
interrupted runner's journal, which had already recorded that command id
with different data
> - The relaunched runnerd rejected it ("commandId was reused with
different command data") and exited while waiting for `run.prepare`.
Every same-run retry collided the same way until the retry budget ran
out and the task blocked
> - The proven interrupted-bootstrap session move (#20103) ran only for
a resumed lease. A same-run retry on a per-turn sandbox reuses the run's
own created lease, so nothing moved the interrupted session aside
> - This pull request applies that same proof-gated session move on the
run's own created lease
> - The benefit is that a same-run bootstrap retry starts its runner on
a clean journal, and the old journal is kept as evidence

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20103

**What happened?**
Daytona per-turn restart-chaos M1 rerun w-20261109T013733-s9501 (master
8e3b64a257, image 34bc12bf):
- **t10 (codex M1):** the codex subtask's run `f8a8f483` went through
eleven same-run bootstrap retries between 01:56 and 02:07.
- Each relaunched runnerd logged `paperclip-runnerd: commandId was
reused with different command data` and exited about 12 s later while
waiting for `run.prepare`.
- The run then failed `native_session_retry_exhausted` ("Provider
startup failed on 3 attempts before any provider work began"). The
subtask blocked, and so did the parent.
- **t02:** the same "runnerd exited while waiting for run.prepare"
pattern appeared on retry run `2e13568f`.

**Expected behavior**
A same-run bootstrap retry moves the interrupted session aside, keeping
it as a `.bootstrap-restart-<time>-<uuid>` sibling, and claims a fresh
session root before relaunching. The relaunched runner then cannot see
the interrupted attempt's command ids. This already happened on a
resumed lease and now also happens on the run's own created lease.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Let a remote bootstrap reach the runner (it journals
`command_prp_00000001`), then restart before any provider work.
2. Recovery bootstraps the same run again in the same sandbox. Before
this change, the relaunched runnerd sees the old journal, rejects the
reused command id and exits, and every retry repeats this.

**Paperclip version or commit**
8e3b64a257 (wave). Branch rebased on current master.

## What Changed

- `native-session-executor.ts`: the created-lease branch of remote
harness preparation now applies the resumed branch's proven restart. It
runs when all of these hold:
  - the session is `not_suspended` and belongs to this run;
  - there is no backup;
  - the claim is `bootstrap_incomplete`;
- the stale-runner stop proved the interrupted runner gone
(`hasRemoteBootstrapRestartProof`).

It then runs `moveInterruptedBootstrapSessionAside` and
`claimUntouchedRemoteSession`. If the move or the claim fails, it throws
`runner_harness_state_mismatch: created_not_suspended` and changes
nothing.
- An earlier revision of this PR archived only the `runner` directory.
Review showed that would leave a session the existing claim cannot
reopen on a resumed lease, so that revision was replaced.
- On a fresh command namespace: moving the session aside removes every
id the relaunched runner could see, so a separate namespace isn't
needed. It would also change the persisted command id format that saved
controller state depends on.
- `native-session-executor.test.ts`: the existing "bootstraps only an
untouched provider session" matrix runs the real move and claim scripts
against a temporary filesystem. It gains two created-lease cases:
- an interrupted bootstrap: the old session is kept as a sibling and a
fresh root is claimed;
  - a symlinked parent: refused, and nothing moves.

## Verification

- Red/green: both created-lease cases fail on master and pass with the
change. The resumed cases from #20103 are unchanged: 42 cases in the
matrix pass.
- `vitest run` over the restart-recovery and bootstrap test files and
`native-session-executor.test.ts`: 7 files, 1540 tests passed (14
skipped).
- `PAPERCLIP_TYPECHECK_LOW_MEMORY=1 pnpm typecheck` (`server`): passed.
- The collision itself happens in runnerd (the production log shows it
on every retry). The live check is a Daytona per-turn K2/K4 rerun.

## Risks

- Low risk. The move reuses the resumed path's proof gates, its symlink
checks and its whole-session move, which keeps the session and never
deletes it. The new branch acts only when every gate holds; otherwise
preparation continues exactly as before.

## Model Used

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 510746c682 fix(native): restart a remote run whose controller never sent its runner a command (#20153)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A follow-up run on a remote sandbox inherits the previous run's
session checkpoint at admission, rebound to the new run's identity
> - A remote runner receives work only through the controller's Postgres
checkpoint, which the controller writes before every command. A run with
no checkpoint rows, no runner events and no recorded runner process
never sent its runner anything
> - Restart recovery still read the rebound admission checkpoint's
provider session id as provider evidence, and classified such a run
`reattach_remote_runner`. The executor then found the root still owned
by the previous run and failed with
`native_remote_recovery_lease_mismatch: stage=runner_verification
field=identity_run_id`
> - This pull request classifies that run as an incomplete bootstrap,
and lets the executor start it from the previous owner's settled root
> - The benefit is that a follow-up interrupted before its runner ever
got a command restarts on its own

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20137

**What happened?**
Daytona per-turn restart-chaos M1 rerun w-20261109T013733-s9501 (master
8e3b64a257, image 34bc12bf), t02 (codex M1 parent):
1. Wake run `a867cb18` was admitted at 01:48:31 with a rebound
checkpoint inherited from run `dfeddafa`: identity of the new run,
`cursor: null`, no terminal turns, no active turn.
2. It recorded `native.process_start_requested` at 01:48:36, then a K4
hold froze the control plane.
3. At 01:53:11 recovery classified it `reattach_remote_runner`
(`hasCheckpoint: true`, `hasProviderEvidence: true`, from the rebound
checkpoint), although the run had no `native_runner_checkpoints` rows,
no runner-originated events and no recorded process identity.
4. The executor found the session root still owned by `dfeddafa` and
failed with `native_remote_recovery_lease_mismatch:
stage=runner_verification field=identity_run_id`. The task needed a
Retry.

**Expected behavior**
A remote run whose runner provably never received a command restarts its
bootstrap. The executor treats the previous owner's root as it would for
any follow-up start.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Claim a remote sandbox follow-up that recorded
`native.process_start_requested` but has no controller checkpoint rows,
no runner events and no `native.process_identity_recorded`, with only
the admission-rebound session checkpoint.
2. Restart. Before this change, recovery claims
`reattach_remote_runner`, and the executor fails with `identity_run_id`.

**Paperclip version or commit**
8e3b64a257 (wave). Branch rebased on current master.

## What Changed

- `native-restart-recovery.ts`: the new
`remoteRunnerNeverReceivedCommands` condition.
- It applies to a remote sandbox run (not a plugin task) with a prepared
remote workspace when all of these hold:
    - no durable controller record, and no staged attachment;
- only the admission-rebound checkpoint (or none), and no provider
process events;
- no runner-originated events, and no
`native.process_identity_recorded`;
    - no run process fields;
- the same claimed and dead previous-controller conditions as
`remoteRunnerNeverLaunched`.
- It yields `bootstrap_incomplete` with the reason
`remote_runner_never_received_commands`, and does not count the rebound
checkpoint as this run's checkpoint.
- `native-session-executor.ts`:
- a `bootstrap_incomplete` claim requires the incomplete-bootstrap proof
only when the root carries this run's own identity;
- a root still owned by the previous run takes the normal previous-owner
path, and may retire a finished previous owner, as any follow-up start
does.
- Policy change, called out for review: a claimed remote run that
recorded only `native.process_start_requested` was held as
`ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`. Under the conditions above it now
bootstraps again.
- The controller writes every command to the Postgres checkpoint before
sending it, so with no checkpoint rows no command reached any runner,
and no provider work can exist.
- A runner process that was spawned but never commanded is stopped
before the new bootstrap by the existing stale-runner stop.
- A recorded process identity, an adapter invocation, a runner event,
process fields or a provider session still hold the run.
- Tests:
- `native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts`: the
classification for a follow-up with an inherited checkpoint and for a
first run without one, plus a held case when a runner process identity
was recorded. The old held expectation for "a runner process start was
requested" moved here;
- `native-recovered-owner-followup.test.ts`: the executor admitting a
`bootstrap_incomplete` follow-up from the previous owner's settled root.

## Verification

- Red/green:
- On master, the classification test claims `reattach_remote_runner`, as
in production. With the change it claims `bootstrap_incomplete` with
`remote_runner_never_received_commands`.
  - A recorded runner process identity keeps the run off this path.
  - The executor test is admitted with the change. On master it fails.
- `vitest run` over the restart-recovery, bootstrap, recovered-owner and
failed-workspace-recovery test files and
`native-session-executor.test.ts`: 9 files, all passing after the policy
test moved; `native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts` alone:
144 passed (14 skipped).
- `PAPERCLIP_TYPECHECK_LOW_MEMORY=1 pnpm typecheck` (`server`): passed.

## Risks

- Low risk:
- The new path requires positive proof that nothing reached a runner: no
controller record, no runner events and no recorded process. Any of
these keeps the existing classification.
- In the executor, a root that carries this run's identity still needs
the full bootstrap proof.
- A root that carries the previous run's identity goes through the same
previous-owner verification as any follow-up start.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 763adbea09 fix(execution): a pause's stop never blocks the task behind an incident with no control (#20143)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A budget hard stop pauses the agent, which stops its running work
> - In the restart-chaos H1 scenario, the stopped task went `blocked`
behind a board action that said "inspect and reconcile" and offered no
button, and it stayed there after the board resumed the budget
> - A pause is an intentional stop, not a failure, so it must not leave
the task with no way forward
> - This pull request treats a pause's stop as intentional: the task
keeps its status and no incident opens, so the normal Retry works

original failure and reconcile the previous execution before
continuing." After raise_budget_and_resume it stayed blocked,
`canRetry=false`, with no Retry. The run was cancelled by the agent
lifecycle pause (`cancellation: { reason: "Agent lifecycle stop
requested", initiator: system, expected: true }`). The wake-queue
release (`recordNativeTerminalRecoveryIfNeeded`) blocks every cancelled
native run that is not an acknowledged user Stop.

**Expected behavior**
A pause's stop keeps the task's status and opens no incident; the task
can be continued.

**Steps to reproduce**
Pause an agent (budget hold or company budget pause) while its native
run is active. Before this change, the task is blocked behind a board
action with no control.

## What Changed

- New `server/src/services/governance-pause-stop.ts`:
`isGovernancePauseStop(run)` matches an expected system cancellation
whose reason is the budget pause stop, or the agent lifecycle stop with
a `pauseStop` stamp.
- `wake-queue/adapters/postgres.ts`
`recordNativeTerminalRecoveryIfNeeded`: returns early for such a run, so
the release keeps the task's status and opens no reconciliation
incident.
- `agent-lifecycle-driver.ts`: the `pausing` host step stamps
`resultJson.pauseStop = { holds, companyPauseReason }` on the agent's
active runs before stopping them (one update, company pause reason by
subquery). Termination and cleanup share the lifecycle stop reason but
write no stamp, so they still open the incident.

## Verification

- `wake-queue/adapters/postgres.test.ts`: new cases. A run stopped by
the lifecycle pause or by the budget pause keeps the task `in_progress`
with no incident (both red on master). Agent termination, and another
system stop (company archive), still open the incident.
- `agent-lifecycle/__tests__/lifecycle.test.ts`: "records what a pause
stopped each active run for". `driver-scope.test.ts` updated for the
stamp's single update.
- `wake-queue` (107), `lifecycle` (68+), `driver-scope`,
`companies-service`: 199 passed. Server typecheck (`typecheck-layers`,
low-memory): no errors.
- Not run: the H1 chaos rerun (after the follow-up continuation PR).

## Risks

- A native run that a pause stopped no longer opens a reconciliation
incident. Resuming it is the normal Retry, which continues the
conversation. Termination, archive and failures still open one.
- One extra update per pause attempt on the agent's active runs. It is
idempotent (skips runs that already have the stamp) and not on any turn
path.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 3eea8b87bd fix(native): settle a finished owner whose journal holds a definitively answered command (#20148)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Before a per-turn follow-up starts a new runner, it retires the
previous turn's finished owner. Retirement requires that owner's
controller journal to be settled: every command answered, then a run
terminal
> - A restart can cut off a continuation turn. The recovered runner
answers that `turn.start` with `failed` and the nested code
`execution_indeterminate` ("it will not execute twice"), and the run
continues on a later turn to an accepted result
> - Retirement counted only `completed` commands as answered. A finished
run whose journal held that answered `turn.start` never counted as
settled, so the follow-up failed with
`retirement_refused=journal_commands_unsettled(turn.start.failed)` and
needed a Retry
> - This pull request counts definitive `failed` and `rejected` answers
as settled, except for runner lifecycle commands. An unknown-outcome
`turn.start` counts as settled only once a later `turn.start` completed,
which shows the run moved past it. Every other unknown or pending
command stays unsettled
> - The benefit is that a follow-up after a restart-interrupted, then
finished, run continues on its own

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20140

**What happened?**
Local restart-chaos M1 K4/K6 rerun w-20261109T003126-s9701 (master
8e3b64a257), t07 (claude C1, K6):
- The previous run `9cb2c0b3` lost a continuation turn to a restart. The
runner answered that `turn.start` as `failed` with `result.result.code:
"execution_indeterminate"`.
- After the next restore it ran a new continuation to an accepted
result, and the run terminal was committed at 00:48:18.
- A hard kill then landed before the runner suspended, and recovery
finalized the result.
- Follow-up `372991c8` failed at 00:48:37 with
`runner_state_identity_mismatch:
prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate;
retirement_refused=journal_commands_unsettled(turn.start.failed)`.

**Expected behavior**
A command the runner definitively answered (`failed` or `rejected`)
leaves nothing outstanding, so it counts as settled. A `turn.start` with
an unknown outcome is never executed again by the runner, so once a
later `turn.start` completed, the run has moved past it and it also
counts as settled. The follow-up then retires the finished owner and
continues.

The following still count as unsettled:
- an unknown-outcome `turn.start` with no later completed turn;
- any other unknown-outcome command;
- a `pending` command;
- a failed runner lifecycle command, such as a failed `runner.suspend`
(the runner did not suspend).

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Finish a per-turn run whose controller journal holds a `turn.start`
answered `failed`, followed by a committed run terminal.
2. Start a follow-up. Before this change, retirement refuses with
`journal_commands_unsettled(turn.start.failed)`.

**Paperclip version or commit**
8e3b64a257 (wave). Branch rebased on current master.

## What Changed

- `remote-warm-session-recovery.ts`: the new
`unsettledControllerCommands` decides which commands are settled.
`isSettledRemoteWarmControlState` uses it.
  - `completed` is settled.
- An unknown outcome (raw `indeterminate`, or `failed` with
`execution_indeterminate` at `result.code` or `result.result.code`) is
settled only for a `turn.start` with a later completed `turn.start`.
- Other `failed` or `rejected` answers are settled, except for
`runner.suspend`, `runner.drain` and `runner.shutdown`.
- `native-session-executor.ts`: the retirement refusal message lists
unsettled commands with the same rule.
- `native-recovered-owner-followup.test.ts`: a red/green test whose
journals are in real lifecycle order.
- Admitted: a `turn.start` answered `failed` or `rejected`; a superseded
unknown-outcome `turn.start` in the runner's stored nested shape; a
superseded raw `indeterminate`.
- Held: the same unknown-outcome answer with no later completed turn; a
failed `runner.suspend`.

## Verification

- Red/green: on master, the admitted cases fail with exactly the t07
error. With the change they are admitted. The held cases stay held. If
only `result.code` is checked, the unsuperseded case fails.
- `vitest run` of `native-recovered-owner-followup.test.ts`,
`remote-warm-session-recovery.test.ts` and
`native-session-executor.test.ts`: 3 files, 1403 tests passed.
- `PAPERCLIP_TYPECHECK_LOW_MEMORY=1 pnpm typecheck` (`server`): passed.

## Risks

- Low risk. Definitive answers to non-lifecycle commands, and
unknown-outcome turn starts that a completed later turn superseded,
become settled.
- The run terminal requirement, post-terminal live-work checks, and
every lifecycle and process proof are unchanged.
- The same rule now also applies to remote warm recovery's settled
check, where a definitively answered command is equally finished.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 cedf335c98 fix(native): a failed terminal followed by an active restart continuation is not a permanent failure (#20149)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - When a restart loses a native run's active turn, the run records
that turn as failed with `provider_turn_lost_on_restore` and continues
on a same-conversation continuation turn
> - Restart recovery blocks a run as
`provider_checkpoint_permanently_failed` when its checkpoint carries a
failed run terminal and no pending restart interruption
> - While a continuation is running, the checkpoint keeps the lost
turn's failed run terminal and names the continuation as the active
turn. The pending-interruption check returns nothing once a turn is
active
> - So a second restart during the continuation read the run as
permanently failed, blocked replay, and needed the board
> - This pull request treats that failed terminal as the restart loss it
records whenever an active turn follows a restart-lost terminal turn
> - The benefit is that runs survive repeated restarts during their
continuations, including M1 parents and their subtasks

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20148

**What happened?**
Local restart-chaos M1 K4/K6 rerun w-20261109T003126-s9701 (master
8e3b64a257), t05 (claude M1 parent):
1. Run `e1e37dab` lost turns to restarts at 00:41:32 and 00:47:53. Each
time it continued, and the third continuation `turn_lab_92b03dc7…` was
active.
2. At 00:48:29 the next restart blocked it:
`native_restart_recovery_blocked` /
`provider_checkpoint_permanently_failed`, with replay blocked.
3. Its saved checkpoint held `terminal.runTerminalState: "failed"` (from
the lost turn), `activeTurnId` set to the continuation, and a last
terminal turn fingerprinted `provider_turn_lost_on_restore`.

Its codex/ACPX subtask's run `f9b10d06` was blocked in the same pass
with the same shape, and its continuation had already proposed a
semantic result. Both stayed blocked. The parent's Retry was held on the
blocked child.

**Expected behavior**
A failed run terminal that records a restart loss, followed by an active
continuation turn, is not a permanent failure. Recovery claims
`resume_dead_runner`. The runtime then reconciles the active turn, and a
held result settles a lost turn as completed. A real provider failure
followed by a later turn still blocks.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Checkpoint a run whose last terminal turn is a restart loss, whose
`terminal` is failed, and whose `activeTurnId` is a later continuation
(optionally with a semantic result).
2. Claim restart recovery. Before this change it blocks with
`provider_checkpoint_permanently_failed`.

**Paperclip version or commit**
8e3b64a257 (wave). Branch rebased on current master.

## What Changed

- `contracts/native-session-backend.ts` (runner): the new
`nativeRestartContinuationInFlight` is true when all of these hold:
  - the checkpoint has an active turn;
  - its last terminal turn is a different turn;
- that turn's fingerprint is a failed, result-less, recoverable
`provider_turn_lost_on_restore`.
- `native-session-runtime.ts`: recovery clears that stale failed
terminal for a continuation in flight, as it already does for a
checkpointed interruption. Before, it threw
`provider_checkpoint_failed_terminal` before it reconciled the active
turn.
- `native-restart-recovery.ts` (server): `checkpointFailed` now also
requires that no restart continuation be in flight. It uses the same
contract function through the vendor boundary.
- `native-session-runtime.test.ts`: an end-to-end recovery test. A
checkpoint with the stale failed terminal and an active continuation
resolves on the continuation's result without starting a new turn.
- `native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts`:
  - a codex case of the stale-terminal shape as saved in production;
  - an ACPX case with a held result;
- a held case where an active turn follows a real provider failure
(`model_not_found`).

## Verification

- Red/green: on master, the stale-terminal case is blocked with
`provider_checkpoint_permanently_failed`. With the change it claims
`resume_dead_runner`. The real-failure case stays blocked on both.
- Red/green (runtime): without the runtime change, the end-to-end test
throws `provider_checkpoint_failed_terminal`. With it, the run
completes.
- `vitest run` over the restart-recovery and failed-workspace-recovery
test files in `server/src/services/native-runtime`: 5 files, 305 tests
passed (14 skipped).
- `vitest run` over the runner restart, recovery, continuation and
terminal test files: 9 files, 385 tests passed.
- `PAPERCLIP_TYPECHECK_LOW_MEMORY=1 pnpm typecheck` (`server`) and `pnpm
run typecheck:typescript` (`packages/paperclip-runner`): passed.

## Risks

- Low risk. The exception applies only when the recorded failure is
itself a recoverable restart loss and a later turn is in flight. Every
other recovery gate is unchanged: the provider-attempt budget,
controller takeover and process proofs.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 0502cc9fac test(chaos): retry a blocked M1 subtask and check the parent's stall wake (#20147)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The restart chaos harness grades the M1 scenario: a parent task
delegates two subtasks across restarts
> - When a subtask's run failed recovery, the harness only clicked Retry
on the parent. The parent's Retry is correctly held behind the blocked
subtask (#20109), so the task waited until its deadline
> - A real board user would also click the subtask's Retry. #20098 also
added a wake for a parent whose subtask stalls, and the grade did not
check it
> - This pull request clicks the board Retry on a blocked subtask
(graded as a needed Retry) and checks that the parent got exactly one
stall wake per stall
> - The benefit is that M1 grades the full user path and proves the
stall wake from the product's own activity record

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20098, #20109, #20094

**What happened?**
In wave `w-20261109T003126-s9701`, the M1 parent t05 rested blocked
behind a blocked codex subtask. The harness clicked Retry on the parent.
The product held that Retry ("waiting on a blocked task") as designed.
Nothing retried the subtask, and the task waited 38 minutes until the
wave deadline. The wave also could not show whether the parent got the
new `issue_blocker_stalled` wake.

**Expected behavior**
The harness acts like the board: it clicks Retry on a blocked subtask
that offers one, and it counts that as a needed Retry. The M1 oracle
checks the parent's activity for one `issue.blocker_stalled_wake` per
stalled subtask.

## What Changed

- `observer.ts`:
- For M1, the observer checks the parent's subtasks every 10 s while the
parent is open, independent of the parent's rest window.
- Each blocked subtask is recorded as a stall: the subtask plus its
latest recovery action, from `GET /api/issues/:id/recovery-actions`.
- When a blocked subtask's interruption offers Retry, the harness posts
the board Retry. It clicks once per subtask; a click that was not
accepted can be tried again on a later check.
- The parent's `issue.blocker_stalled_wake` activity entries are
collected as `stallWakes` through `GET /api/issues/:id/activity`.
- `grader.ts`: R3 fails with `retry_needed_on_subtask_<n> (<ids>)` when
a subtask needed a board Retry, unless the parent's own Retry already
failed R3.
- `workloads.ts`: the new M1 check `parent_woken_once_per_stall` is
added when a subtask stalled. Each (subtask, recovery action) stall must
have exactly one matching wake. A stall with an unknown action matches
any wake for that subtask.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run` in `tests/restart-chaos`: 203 passed. New tests
cover:
- an observer test: a blocked subtask gets one Retry click, and the
parent is still watched;
  - the R3 subtask-retry grade;
- the stall-wake check: woken once, not woken, woken twice, two stalls
of one subtask with only one woken, and no stall.
- G1, which also has subtasks, is unaffected: the existing governance
tests pass.
- `node scripts/typecheck-test-projects.mjs tests/restart-chaos`: clean.

## Risks

- The harness now acts on subtasks, which it did not before. It clicks
once per subtask and only when the product offers Retry.
- The stall-wake check reads activity through the board API. If the API
omits these entries for a board user, the check fails visibly instead of
passing.

execution in Claude Code.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 218eb4ec8b test(runner-e2e): hide the eval harness from local native agents (#20044)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Runner E2E evals run real agents against a real Paperclip server,
then grade the result
> - A local cell runs the product from the same checkout as the eval, as
the same OS user
> - In run 42472276601 an OpenCode agent read the eval's own scenario
YAML and grader from that checkout
> - An agent that can read the oracle can steer toward it instead of the
user's request, so the eval stops measuring the product
> - This pull request hides the eval harness from every local native
agent process and removes eval names from fixtures
> - The benefit is that a passing chat eval again shows product
behavior, not oracle access

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19614 (the chat catalog eval harness that these graders belong
to).

**What happened**
In run 42472276601, cell
`chat-features.runner-opencode.local.access.cli-authorization`
(OpenCode, DeepSeek), the agent printed its environment and saw the
checkout path in `PATH` and `PAPERCLIP_RUNTIME_NOTIFICATION_HELPER`.
OpenCode's `read` and `grep` tools were denied by its
`external_directory` policy. The agent then used its `bash` tool with
absolute paths, which that policy does not gate. It listed
`/home/runner/_work/paperclip/paperclip`, read `docs/cli/*.md` and
`cli/src/commands/client/*.ts`, ran `grep -rn` over `tests/runner-e2e`,
and found the query in `chat-full-catalog-testops-manifest.json`. It
then read `tests/runner-e2e/chat-scenarios/access.yaml`, the manifest
entry, and the case grader
`chat-catalog-domains/identity-cli-authorization.ts`. Its reasoning
said: "This is the exact test case!" Separately, fixture company names
contained the case id, for example `Runner E2E
chat-features.runner-opencode.local.access.private-resource …`, and an
agent noticed that it was in a test.

**Expected behavior**
The agent under test cannot read the eval's scenarios, fixtures, graders
or captured evidence. It keeps everything that it needs: its workspace,
its home, the product skills, the product packages and temporary files.
The names it can see do not contain case ids, "E2E" or "test".

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Dispatch `runner-full-stack-e2e.yml` for any
`chat-features.runner-opencode.local.*` cell on master.
2. In the agent run, use bash to execute `grep -rn expected_outcome
/home/runner/_work/paperclip/paperclip/tests/runner-e2e/chat-scenarios`.
3. The command returns the scenario expectations. With this change, the
command returns `Permission denied` and exit code 2.

## What Changed

- `tests/runner-e2e/agent-filesystem-sandbox.py` (new): applies a Linux
Landlock domain that grants filesystem access everywhere except the
hidden paths, sets `no_new_privs`, checks in-process that the hidden
paths are denied, then `execv`s the command with the same PID, argv and
environment.
- `tests/runner-e2e/agent-filesystem-sandbox.ts` (new): selects the
hidden paths (`tests/`, `.manual-private-trusted/`, the private evidence
directory, `RUNNER_TEMP`). It never hides the agent's temporary root,
the checkout root or the shared temporary directory. It runs a setup
probe, logs the result and fails closed in CI. Then it wraps each
`paperclip-runnerd` spawn of the E2E server.
- Follow-up: run 42445668869 showed that the hidden list missed two
places. A fixture worker listed Playwright's compiled copy of the
harness and graders with source maps
(`/tmp/playwright-transform-cache-1001/`). An agent in another run
listed the attempt root's `artifacts-private/`, `control/` and
`selected-private-inputs/` under `/tmp`. A sandboxed attempt now creates
its root in `/var/tmp`. The reason: Landlock hides a path by leaving its
ancestors ungranted, and agents must still create files in `/tmp`. The
launcher sets `PWTEST_CACHE_DIR` to a hidden child of that root and
removes the default cache. The hidden list covers the four private
children of the root, including children that are created after runnerd
starts. The probe also checks that the default Playwright cache is not
listable.
- `tests/runner-e2e/launch.ts`: passes the selection to the server
process. The selection applies only to Linux local native cells. It does
not apply to Codex cells (Codex's bubblewrap sandbox cannot mount under
Landlock), installed-release launches, legacy adapters or Daytona.
- `tests/runner-e2e/server-entry.ts`: installs the sandbox before the
product starts. The product server itself stays unrestricted because it
loads this entry from the harness.
- `tests/runner-e2e/fixture-names.ts` (new), `catalog.ts`,
`live-fixtures.ts`: fixture company, agent, environment, secret, AI
connection and project names and descriptions use a neutral word and an
8-character digest suffix. They do not contain case ids or "Runner E2E".
No grader or harness lookup reads these names.
- `tests/runner-e2e/agent-filesystem-sandbox.test.ts` (new): tests the
selection, the launch rewrite and the server-entry order. On Linux with
Landlock, it also tests that a sandboxed `grep` over a fake `tests/` dir
is denied while the product file stays readable.
- `tests/runner-e2e/SECURITY.md`: documents the boundary and its limits.
- The trusted files `manual-private-handoff.ts`,
`manual-private-retention.ts` and `manual-private-report-assets.ts` are
byte-identical to master.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run --config tests/runner-e2e/vitest.config.ts

for `chat-features.runner-opencode.local.agents.change-manager` ran on
branch `chat-eval/eval-isolation-verify`, which is this commit
cherry-picked onto the chat catalog candidate. The cell passed. Its
`server.log` records:
- `probe …
"harnessFile":"denied","harnessDirectory":"denied","productFile":"readable","temporaryWrite":"allowed"`,
and `denied` for each of `…/paperclip/tests`,
`…/.manual-private-trusted`,
`…/_temp/manual-private-evidence-*/capture`,
`…/_temp/manual-private-evidence-*` and `…/_temp`. `"failures":[]`.
  - `runnerd launched inside the sandbox (pid 3548)`.
- The fixture company was `Company cc369a2e`. No captured snapshot
contains "Runner E2E".
- The probe is a regression check on every local native cell: a missing
or ineffective sandbox stops the attempt in CI before an agent starts.

## Risks

- Landlock does not hide that a path exists. `stat` of
`tests/runner-e2e` still succeeds (the probe logs `harnessDirectoryStat:
visible`). Reading and listing are denied.
- Directories above a hidden path (for example `/`, `/home/runner` and
the checkout root) cannot be listed. New top-level entries in those
directories are not accessible after launch. Agent state, `HOME` and
temporary files are in `/tmp`, which stays fully granted.
- Not covered: Codex cells, legacy adapters, installed-release launches
and macOS. An agent that can reach the Docker daemon can still mount the
checkout into a container. `ps` still shows the launcher's command line,
which includes the case id. The temporary root
(`paperclip-runner-e2e-*`) and instance id (`runner-e2e-*`) in the
agent's paths still say "e2e". The chat catalog candidate depends on
those prefixes, so this PR does not rename them.
- Python 3 must be present on Linux runners. Ubuntu runners have it, and
the harness already uses it.

## Model Used

- Anthropic Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), agentic coding with
tool use (shell, file edits, GitHub CLI).

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 c0fc7608ee fix(agents): honor an explicit hiring denial on CEO agents (#20041)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The board controls which agents can hire, with the "Can create
agents" permission on each agent
> - A CEO agent with that permission turned off could still hire,
because the CEO role allowed hiring before the server read the saved
permission
> - In chat, a CEO agent asked to hire then created the agent through
the `hire_agent` tool, against the board's policy
> - This pull request makes the saved permission decide, and uses the
CEO role only for old rows that never saved a value
> - It also tells a denied agent that the denial is final and where a
person can act
> - The benefit is that the permissions page and the server now agree,
and the board can trust a hiring denial

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened**
A board user turned off "Can create agents" for a CEO agent. Then the
user asked the CEO in chat to hire a QA engineer. The CEO called
`hire_agent` (`POST /api/companies/{companyId}/agent-hires`). The server
returned 201 and created the agent. The legacy creator rule allowed any
agent with `role: "ceo"` before it read `permissions.canCreateAgents`.

**Expected behavior**
An explicit `canCreateAgents: false` denies hiring for every role,
including CEO. The agent gets a 403 that says the denial is final, and
it sends the person to the hire form or to its permissions page.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create a company with a CEO agent.
2. On the CEO's permissions page, turn off "Can create agents".
3. In chat with the CEO, send "Hire a QA engineer named Morgan."
4. See that a new agent named Morgan exists.

Found by the chat eval case `agents.hire-denied`. Related: #19614 (chat
eval harness).

## What Changed

- `canCreateAgentsLegacy` (authorization) uses the role-aware permission
normalization. A CEO keeps hiring unless the board recorded a hiring
denial.
- New `ceoHiringDeniedBy` record in `permissions` (`{ actorType,
actorId, at }`). `PATCH /agents/:id/permissions` writes it when an
authorized actor saves a CEO's hiring as off (an earlier record is
kept). The page shows the effective value, so a saved off is the board's
choice. Turning the toggle off also removes an explicit `agents:create`
grant. A saved `canCreateAgents: false` restricts a CEO only together
with this record.
- Reads report the effective value. A CEO row with no value, or with an
unrecorded false, shows hiring on. A CEO with a recorded denial shows it
off.
- Create and hire inputs cannot supply the record. Configuration updates
keep an existing record unless they turn hiring on. Company export keeps
a CEO's recorded denial, and import restores it, stamped by the
importing user.
- `PATCH /agents/:id/permissions`: an agent actor needs `agents:create`
to change `canCreateAgents`. A denied CEO cannot restore hiring for
itself or grant it to another agent.
- `assertCanCreateAgentsForCompany` adds a final, actionable sentence to
an agent's `agents:create` denial on hiring routes only (`POST /agents`,
`POST /agent-hires`, the hiring toggle on `PATCH /permissions`).
- `POST /api/companies/:companyId/imports/apply` (CEO-safe import): an
agent import that would create agents needs an `agents:create` decision
before any write. Before, any CEO agent could create agents this way.
Import also removes an existing `agents:create` grant when it restores a
CEO's denial.
- Chat guidance tells the agent to link `/<prefix>/agents/new` and its
own `/permissions` page when it cannot hire.
- Regression tests: authorization (a recorded denial is honored; an
unrecorded false keeps CEO hiring), normalization, route tests (denial
text, self-escalation, the record is written only when a CEO is turned
off), service tests for the permission and configuration write paths,
chat guidance text.

### Why a recorded denial and not a plain false

These normal paths save `canCreateAgents: false` on a CEO without a
board choice:

- The permissions page posts the full object. Before this change, a
legacy CEO row with `{}` was read as false, so saving any other toggle
stored false.
- A company import that updates an existing agent normalizes the
manifest permissions in the "stored" context. A manifest without the
field stores false. Export drops false values, so this is common.
- Low-trust creation stores false. If the trust preset later changes to
standard, the false remains.

These paths store true or nothing for a CEO: onboarding seed
(`requestHire`, create context: true), teams-catalog and import creation
(create context: true; the bundled catalog sets true only for a CTO),
built-in agents (no CEO roles), migrations and seed data (no writes to
this field).

A plain-false rule would remove hiring from those CEOs. With the record,
existing data keeps today's behavior, and no data migration is
necessary.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/agent-permissions-service.test.ts
src/__tests__/authorization-service.test.ts
src/__tests__/agent-permissions-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/agent-conversations.test.ts` passes (244 tests).
- `teams-catalog-service`, `company-portability` and `built-in-agents`
tests pass (189 tests).
- Red check: the new authorization test fails without the
`authorization.ts` change.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server` passes.
- End to end: the chat eval `agents.hire-denied` on the OpenCode runner.
The baseline run (Actions run 42478870236) created Morgan through
`hire_agent`. With this fix (Actions run 42480936881), the agent got the
403, created no agent, and linked the hire form and its permissions
page. The eval clicked the rendered hire-form link.

## Risks

- Behavior change: a CEO whose hiring the board turns off after this
change can no longer hire.
- A CEO that already has a saved false keeps hiring until a board user
turns it off again on the permissions page. The page now shows such a
CEO as on, so the board can see and change it.
- A request that creates a CEO with `canCreateAgents: false` does not
restrict it. The board must turn hiring off on the permissions page.
- A CEO agent whose hiring is denied can no longer import a package that
creates agents. A board user can still import it.
- Other CEO special cases are not hiring routes: `issues.ts` lets a CEO
link approvals to issues, and `agents.ts` gives a CEO task assignment.
`teams-catalog.ts` and `llms.ts` read the normalized permissions, so
they follow the same effective value.
- The denial text is longer. No existing test compares this route's
exact error text.

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 a0b9895bbd fix(native): roll back an undelivered warm attach rotation once its runner is proven dead (#20146)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A follow-up turn can attach to the previous turn's warm local
runner. The transport first rotates authority: it archives the previous
epoch (suspended runner state and settled controller) under
`authority-epochs/` and writes a new control plane that holds only the
`run.attach` command
> - A hard kill in that window, before the runner connects, leaves the
root with the new control plane and no `runner/runner-state.json`.
Restart recovery proves the warm runner dead and classifies the run
`resume_dead_runner`
> - The executor saw a root with the run's own identity and no runner
state, called its authority indeterminate, and quarantined it. The run
failed with `runner_state_identity_mismatch: authority_indeterminate`
and needed a Retry
> - The attach was never delivered, and the runner that would have
received it is proven dead, so it cannot have taken effect. The root's
real authority is still the archived previous epoch
> - This pull request rolls back such an undelivered rotation, so the
follow-up continues from the previous turn
> - The benefit is that a restart in the first second of a warm
follow-up no longer needs a Retry

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20140

**What happened?**
Local restart-chaos K13 regression storm w-20261108T235957-s9401 (master
4420a5adcf), task t22 (codex C1):
1. Follow-up run `7b1b1650` started at 00:05:56 as a warm attach to the
previous run's runner (pid 11436).
2. The transport archived the previous epoch (`313ee831`: runner
`suspended`, every command completed) to `authority-epochs/epoch-2c2a…`.
It wrote a new control plane with `run.attach` pending,
`connectionCount` 0, no events, no delivery counts and
`bootstrapHistory.adopted` false.
3. A K1 at 00:05:57 killed the server before the runner connected.
Recovery stopped pid 11436 and claimed `resume_dead_runner`.
4. The executor found `runner/` non-empty (provider state) but without
`runner-state.json`, returned `authority_indeterminate`, and quarantined
the root. A Retry ran fresh.

**Expected behavior**
When a `resume_dead_runner` claim proves the local runner gone and the
run's own root holds only an undelivered `run.attach` over an archived
suspended epoch, recovery restores that epoch and continues. If delivery
is uncertain (any connection, event, delivery count or other command) or
there is no dead-runner claim, it still fails closed.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a warm follow-up and hard-kill the control plane after the
authority rotation, before the runner connects.
2. Restart. Before this change, the follow-up fails with
`runner_state_identity_mismatch: authority_indeterminate`.

**Paperclip version or commit**
4420a5adcf (wave). Branch rebased on current master.

## What Changed

- `native-session-executor.ts`: the new
`rollBackUndeliveredAttachRotation` runs only for a `resume_dead_runner`
claim on this run with a local runner. It acts only when all of these
hold:
  - the active control plane is this run's own exact identity;
  - its only command is a pending `run.attach`;
- `connectionCount`, `ackedSourceSeq` and the delivery counts are 0,
there are no committed events, and it was never adopted and issued no
credentials;
  - it has no warm, staged or completed transition;
  - there is no `runner/runner-state.json`;
- the latest archived epoch is named by its identity's digest, shares
the runner instance, lease and session, and holds a `suspended` runner
state for that identity.

It moves the undelivered control plane to `continuity-breaks/` as
evidence, then puts the epoch's control plane and runner state back. The
executor then sees the previous owner and takes the normal
suspended-previous-owner path.
- `native-recovered-owner-followup.test.ts`: a red/green test of the
undelivered rotation. A possibly delivered attach (`connectionCount` 1)
and a missing dead-runner claim both still fail closed.

## Verification

- Red/green: on master, the undelivered case fails with exactly the t22
error. With the change, the follow-up is admitted: the previous control
plane is restored, `authority-epochs` is gone, and the undelivered
control plane is kept under `continuity-breaks`. The two fail-closed
cases fail on both.
- `vitest run` of `native-recovered-owner-followup.test.ts`,
`native-session-executor.test.ts`,
`native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts` and
`native-session-root-entries.test.ts`: 4 files, 1508 tests passed (14
skipped); after rebasing onto #20140,
`native-recovered-owner-followup.test.ts` again: 65 passed.
- `PAPERCLIP_TYPECHECK_LOW_MEMORY=1 pnpm typecheck` (`server`): passed.

## Risks

- Medium-low risk. The rollback changes durable state, but only for a
closed shape that proves the attach never reached any runner, after
recovery proved the runner process dead.
- A crash in the middle of the rollback leaves a root that still fails
closed, as before this change.
- The test exercises admission up to tool authority, not a full
real-runnerd turn. A chaos rerun of the K1 warm-follow-up window is the
remaining check.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 bd97a3e6f7 fix(native): retire a finished per-turn owner past its own quarantined interrupted bootstrap (#20140)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A follow-up turn on a per-turn session must retire the previous
turn's runner state before it starts a new runner. Retirement proves the
previous owner finished, and it also proves that every quarantined copy
of that session root is settled
> - If restart recovery interrupts a run's own start (for example a hard
kill during `session.open`), recovery proves the half-started bootstrap
held no provider work, quarantines that root, and bootstraps the same
run again. The quarantined copy keeps the run's identity
> - After that run finished, retirement checked the old bootstrap copy
as if it were a finished owner. An unfinished `session.open` (or an
opened session without a turn) is never "settled", so the follow-up
failed with `runner_state_identity_mismatch:
prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate` and needed a Retry
> - This pull request skips a quarantined copy of the same owner when
the same bootstrap proof that let recovery quarantine it still holds
> - The benefit is that a follow-up after a restart-interrupted start
continues on its own

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20137

**What happened?**
Local restart-chaos K13 regression storm w-20261108T235957-s9401 (master
4420a5adcf): 102 of 105 tasks passed. Two of the three failures share
this cause.

- **t58 (codex C1):**
- A K1 at 00:15:42 interrupted run `78dd97f1` during its first
`session.open`. Recovery quarantined that root (`run.prepare` completed,
`session.open` pending, no events) and bootstrapped again.
- The run then completed. A second K1 hit 190 ms after its result was
accepted, and recovery finalized the result.
- Follow-up `def668a6` failed with `runner_state_identity_mismatch:
prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate;
retirement_refused=quarantine_journal_commands_unsettled(session.open.pending)`.
- **t67 (claude C1):** the same pattern. The quarantined copy of run
`990936c0` holds a completed `session.open` with only session-open
events and no turn, so the refusal was
`quarantine_journal_terminal_unsettled`.

Both copies are in the kept instance's quarantine directory under the
previous run's own identity. Each Retry succeeded.

**Expected behavior**
A quarantined copy of the finished owner's own earlier bootstrap that
provably held no provider work does not hold the follow-up. Retirement
proceeds and the follow-up starts without a Retry.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Let a per-turn run's first bootstrap be quarantined after a restart
(the run bootstraps again and finishes).
2. Start a follow-up turn.
3. Before this change, retirement refuses with
`quarantine_journal_commands_unsettled(session.open.pending)` or
`quarantine_journal_terminal_unsettled`.

This is not a code regression. The quarantine-copy check dates from
#19061. Today's recovery fixes let more interrupted starts bootstrap
again within the same run instead of blocking, and each such restart
leaves this kind of copy behind.

**Paperclip version or commit**
4420a5adcf (wave). Branch rebased on current master.

## What Changed

- `native-session-executor.ts`: the quarantine loop in
`inspectFinishedPerTurnRunnerdOwner` skips a copy when both of these
hold:
  - its durable identity matches the finished owner exactly;
- `runnerdStateProvesIncompleteBootstrap` holds for it. That is the
proof restart recovery uses before it quarantines an interrupted
bootstrap: no provider turn, and for a local runner, its journal and
processes proven gone.
  
  Every other copy still has to pass the settled-projection proof.
- `native-recovered-owner-followup.test.ts`: a red/green test covering
both cases:
  - an interrupted bootstrap copy is retired past;
  - a copy that had already issued a turn still holds the follow-up.

## Verification

- Red/green: on master, the new admitted case fails with exactly the t58
error. With the change it is admitted. The turn-issued copy is refused
on both.
- `vitest run` of `native-recovered-owner-followup.test.ts`,
`native-session-executor.test.ts` and
`native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts`: 3 files, 1504
tests passed (14 skipped).
- `PAPERCLIP_TYPECHECK_LOW_MEMORY=1 pnpm typecheck` (`server`): passed.

## Risks

- Low risk. The skip reuses the existing bootstrap-incomplete proof and
requires an exact identity match, so a foreign or work-holding copy
still blocks. Nothing is deleted; the copy stays in quarantine.
- Not covered: t22 in the same storm, a follow-up whose own unconnected
`run.attach` root was hit by a K1 (`authority_indeterminate`), has a
different shape and is tracked separately.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 546cfee919 fix(github): send gh repo create and fork to the connection's tools (#20142)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents with a managed GitHub connection get `git` and `gh` launchers
that use the connection's credential
> - The launcher gives that credential to any `gh` command, and the
broker does not see which command runs
> - So `gh repo create` and `gh repo fork` skip the connection's tool
switches, ask-first approvals, owner defaults, and audit
> - The connection's `create_repository` and `fork_repository` tools
apply all of these
> - This pull request stops `gh repo create`, `gh repo new`, and `gh
repo fork` when a managed credential is in use, and names the tool to
use instead
> - The benefit is that repository creation follows the connection's
rules, whichever path the agent tries first

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20141 (default owner for `create_repository` and
`fork_repository`).

**What happened?**
An agent with a managed GitHub connection can run `gh repo create` in
its shell. The command uses the connection's token, but it does not use
the connection's tool rules. If the user turns off or reviews
`create_repository` on the connection, the agent can still create a
repository with `gh`. The owner default from #20141 also does not apply,
so the command can fail with `403 Resource not accessible by
integration` when the App is installed only on an organization.

**Expected behavior**
With a managed connection, repository creation and forks go through the
connection's tools. The tool switch, approvals, owner default, and audit
apply.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Connect GitHub with a managed connection.
2. Set the connection's `create_repository` tool to off or ask first.
3. In an agent run, run `gh repo create demo --private`.
4. The command runs with the connection's credential and ignores the
tool setting.

## What Changed

- `packages/adapter-utils/src/github-launcher.ts`: when the broker
returns a managed credential, `gh repo create`, `gh repo new`, and `gh
repo fork` exit with code 1 before `gh` starts. The message names the
`create_repository` or `fork_repository` tool and tells the agent to
finish with Git.
- `--help` still runs. Other `gh` commands do not change. Executions
without a managed credential run these commands as before.
- `doc/execution-github-identity.md`: describes the behavior and states
that this is guidance, not a security boundary.

## Verification

- New test in `packages/adapter-utils/src/github-launcher.test.ts`:
"sends repository creation and forks to the connection's tools when a
connection is in use". It covers `create`, the `new` alias, `fork`,
`--help`, another `gh repo` command, and the case without a connection.
It fails without the launcher change.
- `npx vitest run src/execution-target.test.ts
src/github-launcher-environment.test.ts src/github-launcher.test.ts` in
`packages/adapter-utils`: 83 passed.
- `npx vitest run src/drivers/acpx/github-launcher.test.ts` in
`packages/paperclip-runner`: 3 passed.
- `npx vitest run src/services/heartbeat-github-launchers.test.ts` in
`server`: 12 passed.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p packages/adapter-utils` passes.

## Risks

- Agents that used `gh repo create --source . --push` must now call
`create_repository`, then add the remote and push with Git. The message
tells them to do this.
- If the connection's tool is off for the agent, the agent cannot create
a repository. This is the purpose of the tool setting.
- This is not a security boundary. Other commands that receive the
token, such as `gh api`, can still call the same GitHub endpoints.
- Running launchers keep their earlier source until the next run stages
new launchers.

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, used through Claude

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 0e49576fd9 fix(github): default repository owner to the only installed organization (#20141)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents use a managed GitHub connection to create repositories and to
fork repositories
> - The Paperclip GitHub App can be installed only on an organization,
and not on the user's personal account
> - Then `create_repository` and `fork_repository` fail when
`organization` is empty, because GitHub sends them to the personal
account
> - Agents, approval cards, and connection tests all fail on their first
attempt with `403 Resource not accessible by integration`
> - This pull request fills an empty `organization` with the only
organization where the App is installed
> - The benefit is that repository creation works on the first attempt
for these connections

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists. Refs #19655 (GitHub repair guidance for the same
error).

**What happened?**
A user connected GitHub through the managed connection. The Paperclip
GitHub App was installed on one organization and not on the user's
personal account. An agent called `create_repository` without
`organization`. GitHub returned `POST https://api.github.com/user/repos:
403 Resource not accessible by integration`. The test button on the
connection page gave the same error. The agent then stopped and asked
the user to create the repository manually.

**Expected behavior**
When the App can create repositories only in one organization, an empty
`organization` uses that organization. The approval card and the test
result show that owner.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Install the Paperclip GitHub App on one organization only. Do not
install it on the personal account.
2. Connect GitHub with the managed connection.
3. Run `create_repository` with only `name`, from an agent or from the
connection test dialog.
4. GitHub returns 403.

## What Changed

- Added `server/src/services/tool-access/github-default-owner.ts`. It
finds the default organization from the grant's access snapshot. It
returns an organization only when there is exactly one installation, and
the snapshot marks that owner's repositories as organization
repositories. Older snapshots without account types get no default until
access is refreshed.
- `governedToolArguments` in `tool-gateway.ts` fills an empty
`organization` for `create_repository` and `fork_repository` on managed
GitHub connections. The change occurs before policy, approval signing,
previews, and audit. Thus agent calls, approval cards, and connection
tests use the same owner.
- The grant lookup runs only for these two tools, and only when
`organization` is empty. If the credential is unavailable, the call does
not change and fails with its own error at dispatch.
- An explicit owner does not change. A fork into its own owner does not
change. Token (PAT) connections, personal installations, and multiple
organizations keep GitHub's behavior.
- `projectedConnectionToolInputSchema` describes the default on the
`organization` argument. Agents and the connection test form see where
the repository goes.
- Updated `doc/connections/GITHUB.md`.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` passes.
- `npx vitest run
src/services/tool-access/github-default-owner.test.ts`: new unit tests
for the owner rules (single organization, personal installation, several
organizations, another person's account, older snapshots, blank values,
forks into the same owner, schema text).
- New gateway test in `src/__tests__/tool-gateway.test.ts`: "defaults
GitHub repository creation to the only installed organization for agents
and connection tests". It covers an agent call, an explicit owner, a
connection test call, and a personal installation. It fails without the
gateway change.
- Related suites pass, 393 tests in 9 files: `tool-gateway.test.ts`,
`tool-gateway-service.test.ts`, `connection-instructions.test.ts`,
`github-access-errors.test.ts`, `github-default-owner.test.ts`,
`tool-gateway-discovery-http.test.ts`,
`github-operation-credentials.test.ts`,
`project-git-authorization.test.ts`, `prompt-injection-gateway.test.ts`.
- Not tested against a live GitHub App installation.

## Risks

- Low risk. The default applies only when the grant snapshot shows one
organization installation and no personal installation. Without the
change, these calls fail with 403.
- A stale access snapshot can choose the organization after a user
installs the App on the personal account. Installation events and
**Refresh access** update the snapshot.
- An approval that was created before this change, without
`organization`, no longer matches the projected arguments. That approval
cannot run and must be requested again. Without the change, it fails
with 403.
- `gh repo create` and `gh repo fork` in agent shells do not use the
gateway, so they keep GitHub's personal default.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 8e3b64a257 fix(runner): an unknown agent id says which id and how to find the right one (#20135)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents delegate by creating subtasks through Paperclip's tools. A
tool error must tell the agent how to recover, or it improvises
> - Restart chaos t06 ended a delegation with four children instead of
two
> - Evidence showed no replay: the model built an assignee id from two
real agents' halves and got a bare `paperclip_runner_agent_not_found`
four times
> - To debug the error it created "diagnostic test" subtasks without an
assignee. Those succeeded and were left behind as duplicates
> - This pull request makes the error say which id was not found, which
real agents it most resembles, and to call `list_agents`
> - The benefit is that an agent corrects the id instead of creating
throwaway tasks

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19831 (durable ownership plan). Restart chaos wave
`w-20261108T225520-s9501`, task t06 (claude, M1, K2 drain).

**Problem:** parent run 2751fe3c created Part 1 correctly. For Part 2 it
passed `assigneeActorId: 0cb62ac2-742d-442c-acc9-d21dd936e716`: Chaos
claude's prefix with Chaos codex's suffix.
- Four `create_task` calls (keys `part2`, `part2` again, `-v2`,
`-backlog`) each returned only `paperclip_runner_agent_not_found`. One
of them crossed the K2 drain and failed the same way as the one before
it.
- The model then created "Part 2 06f119cf test" (`-noassignee`) and
"Part 2 06f119cf" (`-title-test`), both described as "diagnostic test -
will be removed/ignored". With no assignee they defaulted to the caller.
They stayed in backlog.
- Only after `list_agents` did it create the real Part 2.
- Same-key replays were never the issue: `create_task` stores the
`idempotencyKey` as the child's `origin_id`.

## What Changed

-
`server/src/services/native-runtime/paperclip-runner-tool-authority.ts`:
- `create_task` (assignee) and `get_agent` now fail with
`paperclip_runner_agent_not_found: no agent in this company has id
"<id>". Closest ids: <name> (<id>), …. Call list_agents and copy a valid
id exactly; nothing was created or changed.`
- Suggestions are up to three agents of the caller's company whose ids
share at least eight leading or trailing characters with the missing id.
Another company's agents are never named.
- The recoverable-read check matches the error code before the `:`
details, so a recovered `get_agent` read still returns the error as a
tool result.

## Verification

Red/green:
- `paperclip-runner-tool-authority.test.ts` "names a missing agent id
and its closest real agent instead of a bare code (restart chaos t06)".
It uses t06's spliced id, with a second agent "Chaos claude" in the
company.
  - On master: the error is the bare code (red).
- With this PR: both `create_task` and `get_agent` name the id, `Chaos
claude (0cb62ac2-…)` and `list_agents`, and no task is created.
- The file passes (42 tests), including the existing foreign-company
assignee rejection. `tsc --noEmit -p server` is clean.

## Risks

- One extra read of the company's agents, only on the failure path.
- The message names agents of the caller's own company, which
`list_agents` already returns to it.
- No schema or persisted state change.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 c49ab6b9ee feat(issues): wake the parent once when a child or blocker stalls on the board (#20098)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A parent task delegates to children and waits on blockers. Its agent
learns of progress only through wakes
> - Today only completion (`issue_children_completed`) and resolution
(`issue_blockers_resolved`) wake a waiting issue
> - In restart chaos `w-20261108T181313-s9701` t05, a blocker stopped on
a recovery action that needs the board, and its parent sat silently
blocked for 50+ minutes
> - This pull request wakes the waiting agent once per such stall, tells
it what it can do, and shows the stall on the parent's page with the
child's Retry
> - The benefit is that a stuck child or blocker no longer silently
strands its parent

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19831 (durable ownership plan; restart chaos campaign). Restart
chaos wave `w-20261108T181313-s9701`, task t05 (M1, claude).

**Problem**

From the kept database:
- CHA-8 `blocks` CHA-5.
- CHA-8's board-owned recovery action (`native_session_retry_exhausted`)
was created at 18:44:02.909 and resolved with outcome `blocked` at
18:44:08, when CHA-8 moved to `blocked` for the board.
- CHA-5's only wake in the whole wave was its `issue_assigned` at
18:20:48. Its agent never heard about CHA-8.

**Expected behavior**
- When a child or blocker stalls on the board, the waiting agent is
woken once. It can then re-delegate, escalate, or block with a reason.
- The board sees the stall on the waiting task, with the child's Retry.

## What Changed

- **Shared:**
- `ISSUE_BLOCKER_STALLED_WAKE_REASON` (`issue_blocker_stalled`),
`ISSUE_BLOCKER_STALL_RELATIONS`, and the types
`IssueBlockerStallRelation` and `IssueBlockerStalledWakeContext`;
  - `Issue.stalledDependencies`.
- **Server, `services/recovery/blocker-stall-wakeups.ts`:**
- A stall is an issue that is not done or cancelled, whose latest
recovery action needs the board. That means either open
(`active`/`escalated`) and board-owned or escalated, or board-owned and
resolved as `blocked` while the issue is still `blocked`. The second
case is what t05 needed: recovery resolves its action that way when it
hands the issue to the board.
- Waiters are the parent, and every issue the stalled one `blocks`, when
they are open, visible and agent-assigned.
- Each waiter gets one wake per stall. The idempotency key
`issue_blocker_stalled:{waiter}:{stalled}:{recoveryActionId}` is checked
through the indexed `(company_id, payload->>'issueId')` path. A later
stall has a new action id, so it wakes again.
  - Each wake writes activity `issue.blocker_stalled_wake`.
- The pass runs from the recovery-action sweep
(`reconcileActiveRecoveryActions`) and from the per-issue blocked sweep
(`reconcileResolvedDependencyWakeBackstop`, which visits each blocked
issue). No new worker.
- A waiter's agent that cannot read the stalled issue (`issue:read`,
which honors private visibility) is woken without its title, identifier
or recovery details; the activity entry withholds them too.
- **Database:** migration `0450` adds the partial unique index
`agent_wakeup_requests_issue_blocker_stalled_uq` on `(company_id,
idempotency_key)` for `issue_blocker_stalled:` keys in delivered or
pending statuses, so two concurrent sweeps cannot both deliver a stall.
It is built `CONCURRENTLY IF NOT EXISTS` outside a transaction (listed
in `MIGRATIONS_WITH_TOP_LEVEL_STATEMENTS`).
- **Queue:** `allowsDependencyBlockedWake` (in
`run-dispatch/domain/wake-context.ts`) lets a stall wake run while the
waiter's blockers are unresolved, at both dependency gates. Without it
the wake was parked until the stalled blocker resolved, which is never.
Pause holds are unchanged.
- **Agent guidance:** the wake payload carries `blockerStall`, and
`renderPaperclipWakePrompt` adds a "Stalled dependency" section. It
names the task and its recovery action and the board's next action, then
the three choices: re-delegate, escalate with a comment, or block with a
reason naming the stalled task.
- **Other reason lists:** `issue_blocker_stalled` joins the
responsible-user wake reasons, the conversation execution-wake reasons
(it never drives a chat turn) and the wake diagnostic's known reasons.
- **Board surface:**
- `GET /issues/:id` returns `stalledDependencies`, readable issues only
(`readableIssueEdgeIds`).
- `StalledDependencyNotice` shows on the issue's chat notices, next to
`IssueBlockedNotice`: each stalled child or blocker, its board next
action, a link, and the child's own Retry (`useTaskRetry`), offered only
when the child's interruption allows it.

## Verification

Red/green:
- `server/src/__tests__/issue-blocker-stall-wakeups.test.ts` (14 tests).
  - On master: no `issue_blocker_stalled` wake is raised.
- With this PR: the parent is woken once per stall, and re-woken after a
new stall. A blocker's dependent is woken.
- The t05 shape (an action resolved as `blocked`) wakes once, and
nothing more after a Retry.
- No wake for an agent-owned action, a done, unassigned or hidden
waiter, or an action resolved another way.
  - `listStalledDependencies` lists children and blockers.
- `heartbeat-dependency-scheduling.test.ts` "admits an
issue_blocker_stalled wake while a blocker is unresolved". On master the
wake was parked (`null`); once admitted, the run-start gate cancelled
it. With this PR it runs with `dependencyBlockedInteraction`. The file:
14 passed.
- `packages/adapter-utils` `server-utils.test.ts`: the new prompt test
failed on master (no `blockerStall`). The file: 141 passed.
- `ui/src/components/StalledDependencyNotice.test.tsx`: 3 passed.
`IssueChatThread.test.tsx`: 109 passed.

Regression and static checks:
- Nearby server suites (recovery durable wait, dependency wake routes,
recovery actions, run-preparation): 149 passed.
- `tsc --noEmit` passes for `packages/shared`, `server` and `ui/src`.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` is clean.

Review round 1 (Greptile, Superagent), each with a regression:
- A backlog waiter is never woken. The waiter's status and assignee are
guarded at enqueue.
- One stall per run: no coalescing, so a merged run cannot keep only the
last stall's context.
- Only a delivered or pending wake ends a stall. A refused one
(wake-on-demand off) is retried after 10 minutes, and an agent that
takes no wakes is skipped without writing a row.
- Company-wide passes resume after the last stall a capped pass reached.
The per-issue sweep also checks the issue's own children and blockers,
which covers an unassigned stalled blocker.
- The dependency gates no longer trust the reason string.
`verifyBlockerStallWake` requires a system request, the stalled issue's
current stall action, and a real child or blocker edge. An
agent-requested wake with the same context is parked (tested).
- The notice shows a refused Retry's reason, and a lost response as
"Taking longer than usual…", with Retry still available (tested).

Review round 2 (Greptile), each with a regression:
- Race: two passes claiming one stall leave one delivered row (unique
index; the loser's insert is skipped).
- The company recovery sweep selects companies whose only stall is a
resolved-`blocked` board action, so an unassigned stalled blocker with a
todo waiter is reached.
- Private stalled issue: the waiter's wake and activity carry no title,
identifier or recovery details.
- `GET /issues/:id` always returns `stalledDependencies`, so a cleared
stall replaces the cached list.
- The notice shows a failed child read with a Reload button (tested).
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db check:migrations` passes.

Review round 3 (Greptile), each with a regression:
- A stall wake that fails to enqueue is retried: the recovery-action
pass reports `blockerStallWakeFailures` and the dependency pass counts
it in `enqueueFailed`, so the worker throws and retries at its backoff
(`issue-recovery-work-lifecycle.test.ts`).
- The notice drops a stall once the child's refreshed status has moved
on (`StalledDependencyNotice.test.tsx`, 7 tests).

## Risks

- A deploy wakes the waiters of every issue that is stalled today, once
each. That is intended (they are stranded now), and it's bounded at 200
stalls per pass.
- A stall wake may run while blockers are unresolved, like a comment
wake. It is bounded to one per stall, and pause holds still apply.
- The agent skill (`skills/paperclip`, CODEOWNER-owned) does not yet
list the new reason. The wake prompt carries the guidance.
- One additive index, built concurrently; no persisted run state change.
Existing rows cannot violate it before deploy, since no
`issue_blocker_stalled:` keys exist yet.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 95d476c57b docs(plans): record the measured seed experiment for per-turn uploads (#20139)
## Thinking Path

- #20100 proposed sending only the changed files on per-turn follow-ups,
with the repository seed held inside Daytona in a snapshot or a volume.
It asked for one measured experiment before building.
- Snapshot and volume operations were blocked by our Daytona key's
permissions. A restricted key with those permissions now exists, so the
experiment has run.
- This PR records the numbers and the decision in the design doc.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20100

**What happened?**
The #20100 design's seed-location choice was unmeasured: snapshot build
time and volume read speed were both open questions.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run the SDK timing of direct upload, volume extract, and snapshot
build and create on the paperclip seed (58.7 MB gzip) in Daytona `us`, 2
vCPU.

**Expected behavior**
The design doc states the measured winner, the per-turn saving, the
one-time cost, and the work needed to build it.

## What Changed

- `doc/plans/2026-11-08-incremental-per-turn-workspace-upload.md`:
  - The status now reads: measured; snapshot chosen; not built.
  - New "Experiment results" table:
    - direct upload: 6.4 s per turn;
    - volume: 6.8 s per turn, which rules it out;
- snapshot: about 2–3.5 s per turn, after a 177 s build per seed
generation.
- Findings: fork is unsupported, compression is exhausted, and the
snapshot builder runs as `daytona` and does not extract archives.
- New "Work to build the snapshot seed" list: lifecycle, sandbox
creation, verification and fallback, expiry and cleanup, and rebuild
policy.

## Verification

Docs only. Every Daytona resource the experiment created was deleted,
and an account-wide listing confirmed none remained.

## Risks

None at runtime.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 e194e1930b fix(native): prove a drained remote start had no turn when its controller only read the goal (#20137)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - When a graceful drain suspends a remote native run during its start,
restart recovery may bootstrap it again only if the run's Postgres
controller checkpoint proves that no provider turn exists
> - That proof accepted `run.prepare`, `session.open` and session-open
events
> - A codex controller reads the session goal (`session.goal.get`, a
read-only query) right after it opens the session and before it sends
the first turn. A drain that lands in that window leaves a third command
in the checkpoint
> - The proof refused any checkpoint with a third command. Recovery
called it `ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence` and blocked replay, so
the task waited for the board
> - This pull request lets the proof accept the runner maintenance and

**What happened?**
Daytona per-turn restart-chaos wave w-20261108T225520-s9501 (master
15b987d9b8), task t06, subtask CHA-13, run `687578c9`:
- A K2 graceful drain at 23:11:55.096 suspended the run 4 s into its
start.
- Restart recovery at 23:12:03 blocked it as
`native_restart_recovery_blocked` /
`ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`, and replay was blocked as
`preserve_without_replay_v1`.
- The subtask rested `blocked`. Its parent CHA-10 then failed R1.

I decrypted the run's controller checkpoint with the kept instance's
local key:
- **commands:** `run.prepare` (completed), `session.open` (completed),
`session.goal.get` (completed, written 18 ms before the drain);
- **events:** `session.started`, `session.capabilities.updated`,
`session.goal.snapshot` ×2;
- **cursor:** `ackedSourceSeq` 4, `commandCount` 3.

No turn was ever sent. `nativeRunnerCheckpointRemoteBootstrapProof`
rejected the checkpoint because only the parts `command:1` and
`command:2` were allowed, and `runnerdStateHasNoProviderTurn` accepted
only bootstrap commands.

**Expected behavior**
A controller record that holds only a completed bootstrap, read-only
session commands and session-open events proves that no provider turn
exists. The run bootstraps again (`remote_session_opened_without_turn`)
without a Retry.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a codex run on a remote sandbox and drain the control plane
after `session.open` completes and `session.goal.get` is issued, but
before `turn.start`.
2. Restart. Before this change, recovery blocks the run with
`ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`.

**Paperclip version or commit**
15b987d9b8 (wave). Branch rebased on current master.

## What Changed

- `native-runner-checkpoint.ts`
(`nativeRunnerCheckpointRemoteBootstrapProof`):
  - accepts up to 8 `command:N` parts and reads them all in order;
- requires the stored command parts to match the cursor's
`commandCount`, so no command can be missing;
  - keeps the 16-event bound.
- `native-bootstrap-proof.ts` (`runnerdStateHasNoProviderTurn`): besides
`run.prepare` and `session.open`, also accepts the existing
`RUNNER_MAINTENANCE_COMMAND_TYPES`:
  - `runner.drain`, `runner.suspend` and `runner.shutdown`;
  - `session.snapshot` and `session.goal.get`.
  
The local opened-session proof already treats these as maintenance; none
of them sends provider input.
- `native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts`:
- a red/green test with the exact CHA-13 shape, covering both the
recovery claim and the executor's restored-checkpoint proof;
  - a held case where a `session.goal.set` follows the read.

## Verification

- Red/green: on master, the new test is blocked. With the change,
recovery claims `bootstrap_incomplete` with the reason
`remote_session_opened_without_turn`, and the executor's proof agrees.
- Existing held cases still hold: a turn was issued, a turn event was
committed, an acknowledged event is missing, a provider turn event was
projected, and the new `session.goal.set` case.
- `vitest run` over the native bootstrap, restart-recovery and
runner-checkpoint test files and `native-session-executor.test.ts`: 9
files, 1542 tests passed (14 skipped).
- `PAPERCLIP_TYPECHECK_LOW_MEMORY=1 pnpm typecheck` (`server`): passed.

## Risks

- Low risk:
- The added commands are the same maintenance and read-only set the
local proof already accepts.
- Any turn command, any non-session-open event, a missing acknowledged
event, or a command count that differs from the stored parts still fails
closed.
- Not changed: when replay was already blocked and the saved work was
later recovered, the task still waits for a board Retry. This fix keeps
that block from happening for this shape.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 6451d2bfbf fix(native): verify a staged attachment restart on the claimed sandbox lease (#20136)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A follow-up codex run on a per-turn Daytona sandbox gets a fresh
sandbox, with harness state restored from the previous turn's
checkpoint, and attaches the previous runner session to the new run
through a staged attachment
> - A graceful restart during that start suspends the run. The next
controller reattaches to the surviving remote runner, after proving it
is on the sandbox lease the restart claim names
> - The staged-attachment path required the lease to have been acquired
as `resumed`. A per-turn follow-up's lease is `created`, so every such
restart was refused with
`native_runner_staged_attachment_recovery_unproven`
> - The run then needed a Retry
> - This pull request binds the staged restart to the claimed lease the
same way the ordinary remote reattach does: same provider lease, same
remote directory, and not a replacement sandbox
> - The benefit is that a per-turn follow-up interrupted by a restart
continues on its own

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20103

**What happened?**
Daytona per-turn restart-chaos wave w-20261108T225520-s9501 (master
15b987d9b8, image cbbe8224). Two codex C1 follow-up runs, created during
a K2 graceful drain at 23:11:45, were suspended mid-start:
- `4d1d3563` (t07);
- `71b43ea1` (t08).

Two to three seconds after the controller came back, both failed with
`native_runner_staged_attachment_recovery_unproven`, rested in
`native_continuation_requires_reconciliation`, and needed a Retry. The
stack shows the first guard in `verifyStagedAttachmentRestart`. Both
runs' environment leases were acquired with
`sandboxLeaseAcquisition.outcome: "created"`, because per-turn mode
creates a fresh sandbox for each turn. The guard accepted only
`"resumed"`.

**Expected behavior**
When the restart claim's provider lease and remote directory match the
run's own lease, the staged attachment's restart is verified as before,
and the run continues without a Retry. The rest of the staged proof is
unchanged. A replacement sandbox, or a different provider lease or
directory, is still refused.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a codex follow-up on a per-turn Daytona environment, so the lease
is `created` and the start stages an attachment.
2. Gracefully restart the control plane during the start.
3. Before this change, the restarted run fails with
`native_runner_staged_attachment_recovery_unproven`.

**Paperclip version or commit**
15b987d9b8 (wave). Branch rebased on current master.

## What Changed

- `verifyStagedAttachmentRestart` (`native-session-executor.ts`) no
longer requires `sandboxLeaseAcquisition.outcome === "resumed"`. It
requires the same lease binding as `verifyRemoteRunnerReattachment`:
- the target's provider lease equals the claim's
`remote.providerLeaseId`;
  - the target's remote directory equals the claim's `remoteCwd`;
  - the lease is not a `replacement` sandbox.
- A new test case in `native-session-executor.test.ts` covers a created
sandbox (admitted), a replacement sandbox, another provider lease, and
another remote directory (all refused).

## Verification

- Red/green: on master, the created-sandbox case fails with
`native_runner_staged_attachment_recovery_unproven`. With the change it
reaches the staged recheck. The three refusal cases are refused on both.
- `vitest run` of `native-session-executor.test.ts` and
`native-restart-recovery-isolation.test.ts`: 2 files, 1305 tests passed.
- `PAPERCLIP_TYPECHECK_LOW_MEMORY=1 pnpm typecheck` (`server`): passed.

## Risks

- Low risk. The check now matches the ordinary remote reattach, which
already admits created leases. Everything after it is unchanged: the
encrypted staged header, the source run and result, the template digest,
and the remote runner identity are all still proven before any RPC.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 4420a5adcf fix(issues): a Retry held by a blocked subtask names it instead of failing silently (#20109)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The board's Retry is the one action a person takes when a task
stops; it must either start work or say why it can't yet
> - Restart chaos t05 left a parent task blocked on a blocked subtask.
The board clicked Retry twice; each was accepted and nothing happened
> - The Retry was saved and the queue deferred it behind the unresolved
blocker, which is correct. But the task still looked failed with Retry
offered, so the wait was invisible
> - This pull request presents a saved Retry that waits only on
unfinished blockers as waiting, names the blocked subtask and links it
> - The benefit is that the board sees what to act on (the subtask's own
Retry) instead of clicking a Retry that cannot run

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19831 (durable ownership plan). Restart chaos wave
`w-20261108T200620-s9701`, task t05 (claude, M1, K4).

**Problem:** parent CHA-5 was blocked by subtask CHA-10, which was
itself blocked on a board recovery action. The board pressed Retry on
CHA-5 at 20:27:46 and 20:40:46. Each `POST /issues/:id/retry` returned
202, and the saved Retry stayed `deferred_issue_execution` behind
CHA-10, so no run started. The task's interruption presentation kept
saying `failed` with `canRetry: true` and gave no reason.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/task-interruption-presentation.ts`:
- For tasks with a saved (deferred, user-requested) Retry, the loader
reads the queue's own dependency readiness (`listDependencyReadiness`).
That counts cancelled blockers and done blockers whose workspace has not
finalized, like the queue does.
- When the saved Retry for the latest run is held only by unfinished
blockers (no execution wait, no preparation), the task is presented as
`working` with `canRetry: false` and `retryWait: { reason:
"dependency_blocked", message }`.
  - The message has three forms:
    - a blocked blocker: "Retry or unblock it";
- a cancelled blocker: "Remove or replace that dependency to continue",
because the queue keeps it unresolved;
    - otherwise: waiting for the blockers to finish.
- The presentation carries no blocker names or ids. Issue reads return
it to restricted agents too.
- The Retry response (`POST /issues/:id/retry`) already returns this
presentation, so the API says the Retry is waiting on dependencies as
soon as it is saved. The blockers themselves are in the issue's
`blockedBy`, which issue reads already filter per viewer.
- `ui/src/components/ExecutionBlockerNotice.tsx` takes `blockers` (the
issue's `blockedBy`, from `IssueDetail`). For a `dependency_blocked`
wait it lists each readable unfinished blocker with a link and what it
needs: "Blocked: open it to Retry" or "Cancelled: remove or replace it".
Tokens only; `pnpm check:token-gates` is clean.
- No shared type change, and no code comments added.

## Verification

Red/green:
- `server/src/__tests__/task-interruption-query.test.ts` "explains a
saved Retry held by unfinished blockers instead of offering Retry again
(restart chaos t05)". It sets up a parent with a failed run, a saved
Retry deferred, and a blocked subtask that blocks it.
  - On master: `{ state: "failed", canRetry: true }`, no reason.
- With this PR: `working`, `canRetry: false`, `dependency_blocked`. The
presentation has no blocker title or identifier.
- A cancelled blocker gets the remove-or-replace message. Once the
blocker is done, the dependency wait is gone.
- `ui/src/components/ExecutionBlockerNotice.test.tsx`: the notice links
the blocked and the cancelled blockers with their actions, skips the
done one, and offers no second Retry.

Regression: `task-interruption-query` (25 tests) and
`ExecutionBlockerNotice` (16 tests) pass, as do the presentation unit
tests, workspace-recovery admission, gates and copyback tests, and
`heartbeat-dependency-scheduling`. `tsc --noEmit` is clean for `server`
and `ui`.

## Risks

- One more batched read (dependency readiness plus blocker statuses),
only for tasks in the page that have a saved Retry.
- Presentation only. Admission is unchanged: the queue still runs the
saved Retry when the blockers are done.
- A Retry saved before a blocker was added shows the same wait, which is
accurate, because the queue holds it too.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 77168d3367 fix(recovery): settle a dead controller's result lease for a run a pause cancelled (#20113)
## Thinking Path

> - A budget hard stop pauses the agent, which cancels its running work
and waits until every execution has provably stopped
> - The shared ownership reconciler (#19933) settles an accepted

lease held finalization, the agent stayed in `pausing`, and every later
task for it was stranded

records the budget pause with its reason
> - The benefit is that a pause crossed by a restart completes at once
and resume continues normally

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19933, #20101

**What happened?**
Restart-chaos wave w-20261108T210118-s9802 (scenario H1). An agent-scope
budget hard stop paused agent "Chaos claude". The pause cancelled run
`dfc22298` at 21:02:27.818, 0.36 s after its result was accepted
(finalization phase `workspace_finalizing`, executor lease until
21:21:55, controller PID 78157). A K4 SIGKILL followed. After the
board's `raise_budget_and_resume`, the agent stayed `status=paused`,
`lifecycle_state=pausing`, `lifecycle_holds=[]`, with its lifecycle
operation at `attempts: 90`, `hostComplete: false` and no error. The
pause host step (`stopInvocationsForAgents` →
`agentExecutionsHaveStopped`) returns `pending` while any coordinator
holds an owner lease with an accepted result.
`settleNativeAcceptedResultLease` required `heartbeat_runs.status =
'running'`, so it returned `lease_no_longer_held` for the cancelled run.
The pause also wrote no activity entry.

**Expected behavior**
A proven-dead controller's accepted-result lease is settled whatever
stopped the run, so finalization finishes and the pause completes. The
budget pause is logged with its reason.

**Steps to reproduce**
Pause an agent right after its run's result is accepted, then SIGKILL
the server. After restart, the agent stays in `pausing` until the lease
expires (up to 20 minutes).

## What Changed

- `native-accepted-result-lease-settlement.ts`: settle the lease for a
`running` or `cancelled` run. All other guards are unchanged: exact
owner compare-and-set, owner proven gone by `proveOwnerGone`, remote
copyback excluded, another host never proof.
- `agent-lifecycle.ts` `applyAgentBudgetHoldInTransaction`: when the
budget hold is added or removed, records `agent.paused` /
`agent.resumed` with `reason: "budget"`, the lifecycle state and the
holds, in the transaction that applies the hold. Applying the same hold
again records nothing.
- `budgets-service.test.ts`: its activity-log mock now also stubs
`persistActivity`.

Not changed, by design: resume still waits for an incomplete pause to
finish before resuming. The pause's host step proves the agent's
executions stopped before new work starts. In H1 it was blocked only by
the dead lease, which is now settled at restart.

## Verification

- `heartbeat-native-restart-suspension.test.ts`: new "finalizes an
accepted result whose run a pause cancelled before a hard kill took its
controller". It fails on master (lease still 20 minutes out) and passes
with the fix (lease owner cleared, finalization past
`workspace_finalizing`). Whole file: 41 passed.
- New `agent-budget-hold-activity.test.ts`: the pause and release
entries, with the reason, written once each.
- `budgets-service.test.ts` (19), `budgets-history.test.ts`,
`company-portability-routes.test.ts`,
`agent-lifecycle/__tests__/lifecycle.test.ts`: passed.
- `server` typecheck (`scripts/typecheck-layers.mjs`, low-memory): no
errors.
- Not run: the H1 chaos rerun (Phase 3 schedules it after merge).

## Risks

- A cancelled run's accepted result is now finalized promptly after a
hard kill instead of after the lease term. The finalizer already handles
a run cancelled during finalization; the settle only shortens the wait.
- New activity entries on budget pause and release. Run-log and activity
only; no Telemetry.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 89265f7312 test(chaos): add R1, a code change in a fresh clone of a real repository (#20111)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The restart chaos harness proves that real agent tasks survive
control-plane restarts
> - Its coding workloads run in a tiny chaoscli fixture. Real work
happens in large repositories, where workspace setup, copy and restore
cost more and fail differently
> - The campaign asks for real coding tasks in a fresh Paperclip clone,
run under restarts
> - This pull request adds the smallest support for that: a
`--workspace-repo` option and an R1 workload
> - The benefit is restart coverage for code changes in a real
repository, graded by running the agent's own test and a hidden case

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20071, #20089

**What is missing?**
The harness can only seed the generated chaoscli fixture as the project
workspace. There is no way to run restart chaos against a code change in
a real repository.

**Expected behavior**
An operator can name a git repository. The harness clones it fresh as
the workspace, and a workload asks for a real code change in it with an
oracle that runs the result.

## What Changed

- `--workspace-repo <git repository>`: `seedChaosLab` clones it
(shallow, from committed HEAD, `--no-hardlinks`) as the project
workspace instead of the chaoscli fixture. Local only.
- R1 workload: the agent adds
`packages/shared/src/chaos/slug-<nonce>.ts` with `chaosSlug` and a
`node:test` file, and runs it. The nonce names keep concurrent tasks
from colliding in one repository.
- The R1 oracle runs the agent's test with `node --test` and a hidden
case against the module through Node's type stripping.
- Collect commands can take an `argv` function of the nonce.
- Config rules: R1 and `--workspace-repo` go together. B1 and B5 (which
need the chaoscli fixture) do not combine with it. R1 is not a default
workload.
- README section "Code change in a real repository".

## Verification

- `npx vitest run` in `tests/restart-chaos`: 195 passed, including new
tests for the config pairing, R1 grading with the nonce argv, and a
shallow clone of a fixture repository.
- `node scripts/typecheck-test-projects.mjs tests/restart-chaos`: clean.
- I checked the oracle commands by hand on Node 26: `node --test` on a
`.ts` test and `node --input-type=module -e 'import … from "./…ts"'`
both work.
- A live R1 wave against a Paperclip clone runs after the current chaos
wave frees the harness slot. Its result will be posted here before
merge.

## Risks

- A shallow clone of a large repository adds seconds to wave seeding.
That is one clone per wave.
- The oracle uses Node's built-in type stripping. A runtime without it
fails `node_test` and `hidden_case`, which shows as an oracle failure,
not a false pass.

execution in Claude Code.

**What happened?**
Wave `w-20261108T215822-s9805` (R1 in a Paperclip clone) reported a
claude cold boot p95 of 31.0 s. The slow run spent 22.8 s in
`heartbeat.prepare.workspace_provision`, the repository's
`scripts/provision-worktree.sh`. Reuse takes 0.3 s. Its cold
first-activity p95 came from run 630088a4, created 4 s after a fault
killed its predecessor. That run queued until the next fault cleared,
and #20106 still graded it cold because no fault started inside its own
window.

**Expected behavior**
Project provisioning is reported, not charged to agent boot. A run
created while a fault's outage is in progress is graded as restart.

## What Changed

- `faultBeforeFirstActivity` takes outage windows and returns true when
any window, from fault start to ready, overlaps the run's span from
creation to its first activity. It used to take fault start instants
only.
- A run with `retryOfRunId` (the successor of an interrupted run) is
graded as restart.
- `collectWaveSpeed` reads each run's workspace operations. Provisioning
counts only when a `workspace_provision` operation has
`metadata.created: true`, meaning first-time creation of the workspace;
reuse (about 0.5 s) is left in boot.
- `bootWithoutProvisionMs` subtracts that first-time
`heartbeat.prepare.workspace_provision` span from agent boot for the
wave grade. Per-run boot breaches use it too.
- New report-only row `workspace_provision` per adapter and start, shown
only when the run created its workspace. It has no budget.
- `runMetrics` and the TTFT baseline tool are unchanged. `BaselineRun`
gains an optional `workspaceCreated`.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run` in `tests/restart-chaos`: 195 passed. New cases cover
a run created during an outage, a retry successor, provisioning counted
only for `created: true` through `collectWaveSpeed`, the provisioning
row and boot without provisioning.
- `node scripts/typecheck-test-projects.mjs tests/restart-chaos`: clean.

## Risks

- A slow provisioning step no longer fails the boot budget. It stays
visible on its own row, with no budget, because it runs the project's
own script.
- A run created during any outage, and any retry successor (including a
user Retry), is graded as restart even when it started quickly. Restart
recovery still measures it.
- One extra API read per run (workspace operations) during speed
collection. A failed read counts as not created, so boot is never
under-charged.

## Model Used

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 b43cccbb08 fix(runner): keep a restart continuation when a stale earlier continuation is reported lost (#20118)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - When a restart loses a native run's active turn, the runner reports
it as `provider_turn_lost_on_restore` and the controller starts one
same-conversation continuation. A later restart that loses the
continuation is answered the same way
> - With back-to-back restarts, the controller's checkpoint can miss a
continuation that the runner already accepted. On the next restore the
controller starts a fresh continuation, and the restored runner then
reports the unrecorded earlier continuation as lost
> - The event consumer treated that stale lost terminal as the run's
terminal, so the run failed while its new continuation was already
running
> - Recovery then refused to replay the failed run, and the task needed
a Retry. In an M1 parent/subtask task, the parent's Retry succeeded but
the parent stayed `blocked` on that subtask
> - This pull request makes the consumer skip a restart-lost terminal
for any turn other than the continuation it started
> - The benefit is that back-to-back restarts no longer turn a
recoverable lost turn into a failed run that needs Retry

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20107

**What happened?**
Restart-chaos K14 wave w-20261108T213600-s9803 (local, an upgrade
between builds plus repeated restarts) at 070365404e. In task t02
(claude M1), the codex subtask CHA-7 failed with
`native_provider_terminal_failed: The runner restored the conversation
after process loss, but the previous turn is no longer active.` The
sequence:
1. Restore 1 lost turn `01a1bd17…`, and the controller started
continuation `01a1bd18-15ec…` (runner command 14). A restart followed
within a second, before the controller's checkpoint recorded that
continuation.
2. Restore 2 saw the checkpointed interruption of `01a1bd17…` and
started a fresh continuation, `01a1bd18-4cc4…` (command 24). The
restored runner also reported the unrecorded continuation
`01a1bd18-15ec…` as `provider_turn_lost_on_restore`.
3. Because a continuation was already started, the consumer returned
that stale terminal as the run's terminal. The run failed, the new
continuation was stopped (command 25), and automatic recovery refused to
replay it (`uncertain_provider_action`, `preserve_without_replay_v1`).
4. The parent CHA-2 asked CHA-7 to resume by comment, but an agent
comment cannot authorize a blocked replay, so the wake stayed
`deferred_issue_execution`. The parent's own Retry succeeded, but CHA-2
stayed `blocked` on CHA-7 (`R3:retry_did_not_complete`).

**Expected behavior**
A restart-lost terminal for an older, unrecorded continuation is
superseded by the continuation this restore started. The run continues
on that continuation and needs no Retry.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Checkpoint a native session whose last terminal is a restart-lost
turn and whose active turn is null, so recovery starts a continuation.
2. Have the restored session report another turn (the unrecorded earlier
continuation) as `provider_turn_lost_on_restore`, either before or after
the new continuation starts.
3. Before this change, the run ends on that stale terminal.

**Paperclip version or commit**
070365404e (wave); branch rebased on current master.

## What Changed

- `native-session-runtime.ts`:
  - Records the turn id of the restart continuation it starts.
- New `supersededByRestartContinuation`, used by the consumer's
`resumeInterruptedTurn`, keeps consuming past a
`provider_turn_lost_on_restore` `turn.failed` when all of these hold:
    - the run was recovered from a checkpointed interruption;
- the failed turn is neither the checkpointed interrupted turn nor the
started continuation;
    - a continuation was actually started.
- The check first waits for the startup decision, because the consumer
starts before the continuation does.
- `native-session-runtime.test.ts`: a red/green test, with the stale
lost terminal arriving both after and before the continuation starts.

## Verification

- Red/green:
  - On master, both test cases end the run on the stale terminal.
- With the change, both resolve on the continuation's result. The
continuation is started once, and the stale `turn.failed` is still
appended to the journal.
- `vitest run` over the restart, recovery, continuation and terminal
test files in `packages/paperclip-runner`, including all of
`native-session-runtime.test.ts`: 9 files, 380 tests passed.
- `PAPERCLIP_TYPECHECK_LOW_MEMORY=1 pnpm typecheck:typescript`
(`packages/paperclip-runner`): passed.

## Risks

- Low risk. The skip applies only to restart-lost failures of turns
other than the checkpointed interrupted turn and the started
continuation, and only after a continuation actually started. Real
provider failures, a loss of the continuation itself, and runs without a
checkpointed interruption keep their current handling.
- If startup fails, the startup decision still settles. The consumer
then falls back to the existing behavior and the run fails as before.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 412d49e48d fix(runner): resume an ACPX turn interrupted by a deploy instead of refusing the launch digest (#20112)
## Thinking Path

- The rule for upgrade-safe saved state: work saved by the old build
must resume under the new build.
- The K14 upgrade-mid-run chaos wave (`838e9bf3d2` → `f789f3e2af`) broke
that rule for Claude. The same heartbeat run resumed after the upgrade
restart, and the runner's resume probe (`runner.drain`) failed with
`ACPX durable launch profile digest does not match runner startup`
(`provider_state_incompatible`). t03 and t04's Claude subtask both
needed a board Retry. Codex crossed the upgrade cleanly.
- The ACPX launch profile digest covers the provider-pack authority and
the sidecar artifact hashes, so every deploy changes it.
- #18879 already re-binds a suspended session to the new digest. A
deploy that restarts the runner mid-turn leaves the same run with an
active turn, or with an open session, which is the state a same-build
lost-turn restore leaves behind. Neither was re-bound.
- A same-build restart already recovers both states safely: it reopens
an open session, and recovers an active turn through
`restore_conversation_after_lost_turn`, which is guarded by the
provider-lifetime fence. An upgraded build should take the same path.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18879

**What happened?**
A deploy restarted the runner while a Claude (ACPX) task was mid-run.
When the same run resumed under the new build, restore refused the saved
state with `provider_state_incompatible`. The task stopped and needed a
manual Retry, which started a fresh provider session and dropped the
conversation.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a Claude task on build A and let it reach an active turn.
2. Upgrade to build B, which ships a new provider pack or sidecar build,
with a graceful restart while the turn runs.
3. The same run's resume fails with `ACPX durable launch profile digest
does not match runner startup`.

**Expected behavior**
The resumed run recovers exactly as it would after a same-build restart.
The conversation is restored, or the lost turn is closed through the
normal recovery path, with no Retry.

## What Changed

-
`packages/paperclip-runner/runner/crates/runner-core/src/acpx_provider_backend.rs`:
- `rebinds_settled_session` now also re-binds the saved digest for an
**interrupted turn or open session of the same heartbeat run**
(`rebinds_interrupted_turn`).
- The re-bind requires exactly the same-build recovery preconditions: no
accepted semantic result, no pending runtime request, no unconfirmed
provider exit, and a dormant goal. It also keeps the existing
requirements: no candidate admission, and the same sidecar command and
arguments.
- Recovery then runs unchanged. The provider-lifetime fence still
decides whether the conversation is restored or the lost turn is closed.
- **Relocated installs:** an upgrade can install the same launch files
under a new directory, as an `npx` versioned cache, a new image layout
or a new checkout does. The K14 harness moves between worktrees. The
re-bind now accepts a launch of the same shape: the same executable and
sidecar file names, and identical non-path arguments. It then records
this startup's runner-owned paths in the saved descriptor. A renamed
executable or a changed argument stays strict.
- An active turn or open session saved by a *different* run stays
strict, as before. So do suspended sessions with undelivered events, and
every qualified-release binding (ACPX, agent server and command digest).
- Tests (Rust, `acpx_provider_backend`):
-
`interrupted_turn_of_the_same_run_rebinds_to_the_upgraded_runner_launch_profile`:
red on master. An old-digest saved state with an active turn restores,
the digest is re-bound, and identity and command digest are kept.
-
`open_session_of_the_same_run_rebinds_to_the_upgraded_runner_launch_profile`:
restore gets past the saved-state check, to provider start.
- `saved_sessions_rebind_to_an_upgraded_build_installed_at_a_new_path`:
red on master and on the first fix, with the production error. It covers
an interrupted turn of the same run and a settled session attached by
the next run, both moved to a new install directory.
-
`interrupted_turn_after_upgrade_stays_strict_when_lost_turn_recovery_is_unsafe`:
each unsafe guard still fails with `provider_state_incompatible` and
leaves the saved state untouched.
- The existing strict tests for other runs are unchanged and still pass.
- `packages/paperclip-runner/docs/durable-recovery.md`: documents the
extended re-bind.
- `tests/acpx_warm_attachment.rs`: the end-to-end test
`restores_a_turn_lost_to_a_runner_upgrade_under_the_new_launch_profile`,
from the Phase 2 session's parallel fix. It fails on master with the
production error and passes here.

## Verification

- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --lib acpx_provider_backend`: 44
passed.
- The full `paperclip-runner-core` lib suite: 585 passed. The 3 failures
are timing-based `task_memory` kill-monitor tests on macOS; that file is
untouched (last changed 5 days ago). CI runs them on Linux.
- `cargo fmt --check`: clean.
- Live: the first K14 rerun, at 070365404e, still failed for 3 Claude
runs. The cause was the install path: the saved sidecar path pointed
into the old build's worktree. Fixed in 72e020e13b; a second K14 rerun
has been requested.

## Risks

- **The restored conversation runs on the new provider pack.** That is
already the case for re-bound suspended sessions. Session start still
verifies every artifact and the restored provider identity against the
qualified command digest. A changed upstream release still fails strict.
- **Old provider process.** For an active turn, lost-turn recovery waits
for the provider-lifetime fence before restoring. For an open session,
behavior matches the same-build restart, which reopens without the
fence.
- **A state that really is incompatible** (an upstream provider release
change):
- **Between turns**, the common upgrade case: the next run's checkpoint
carries `allow_replacement_after_resume_failure`, so the refusal opens a
fresh provider session automatically, with no Retry. A new test,
`continues in a fresh session when a new run's saved session is
incompatible…`, pins this in `native-session-runtime.test.ts`.
- **Mid-turn, same run:** this still stops for a board Retry, by design.
The effects of the lost turn are unknown, and the automatic replacement
sweep (`decideNativeReplacement`) only replaces a session when it has a
complete effect inventory.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19831 (durable ownership plan). Restart chaos wave
`w-20261108T192459-s9501`, task t05 (Daytona warm, codex, C1, K4 hold of
182 s, master c5a172a183, which includes #20069).

**Problem**

1. 19:37:01: the follow-up comment arrives. The agent reads the brief
and calls `write_document`.
2. 19:37:44 to 19:40:51: K4 hold. Codex keeps the call pending and
re-samples the model: "The save request is still pending", then
`read_document` (also pending), then `paperclip_block`.
3. 19:42:02, after the reattach: the controller recovers the held write
and read (`recoverPendingSemanticInputs`) while the Runner delivers the
block. The block reaches the check at seq ~331–334. The write's result,
with the FOLLOWUP line saved, is committed at seq 337. The check saw no
returned call, so the block was recorded and the issue rested `blocked`
with no Retry.

So held calls are answered after ready (the save succeeded, the brief
has the marker). The defect was the order in which the terminal call was
judged.

## What Changed

- `packages/paperclip-runner/src/live/terminal-call-freshness.ts`:
- `pendingEarlierToolCalls`: calls made before the terminal call that
have neither returned nor reached the agent;
- `settleEarlierToolCalls`: waits, bounded at 30 s
(`TERMINAL_CALL_SETTLE_TIMEOUT_MS`), until none is pending, then reports
which returned unseen and which are still pending;
- `staleTerminalCallResult` also names still-pending calls: "has not
returned yet. Wait for its result (do not repeat a write until it
returns)…", still `terminal_call_before_results`, retryable.
- `runnerd-codex-transport.ts`: before dispatching `paperclip_finish` or
`paperclip_block`, waits for those calls and re-checks session identity.
It refuses the terminal call if any earlier call returned unseen or is
still pending.
- Scope: `DurablePrpCodexTransport` serves Codex and ACPX on local, warm
Daytona and per-turn Daytona, so every path that reattaches to a
surviving Runner is covered. The wait applies only to terminal calls
with earlier unreturned calls, so it adds nothing before `turn.start`.
- Not covered: the external-driver path
(`drivers/external/runnerd-external-driver.ts`) has its own semantic
handler without either check. It is recorded as a campaign follow-up.

## Verification

Red/green:
- `runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts` "refuses a terminal call that
arrives before a held call's result (restart chaos t05)": the write is
started without a result, the block arrives, and the write's
`semantic_tool.result` lands 100 ms later.
- On master's transport and guard: fails, the block is dispatched
(`handler` called once).
- With this PR: the block is refused with
`terminal_call_before_results`, naming the returned write.
- `terminal-call-freshness.test.ts`: pending versus returned, a result
that lands during the wait, a call still pending after the bound, no
wait when everything was seen, and a session that goes away.
- Both files: 300 passed. `tsc --noEmit -p packages/paperclip-runner` is
clean.

Live: the crash point `runner.semantic_tool.after_input_before_dispatch`
(from #20069) holds K4 during a Paperclip tool call. A Daytona run
against this branch is requested from the slot owner after merge.

## Risks

- A finish or block made in the same model step as a write (parallel
tool calls) now waits for the write and is refused once, because the
agent had not seen the write's result. The agent calls it again after
reading the result: one extra model step in that case. #20069 already
behaved this way whenever the write returned first.
- A Paperclip call that never returns delays a terminal call by 30 s,
and the terminal call is refused. Recovery answers held calls after
ready or disconnects the Runner, so the refusal cannot repeat
indefinitely in practice.
- No schema or persisted run-state change.

## Thinking Path

turn stopped for suspension drops the live ACPX session and leaves the

before it starts the turn
> - The benefit is that a suspended or restored Claude run keeps going
on its own, with no Retry

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20089

**What happened?**
In a local restart-chaos G1 (approval) wave, Claude ACPX task t03 failed
after repeated restores with `ACPX session is not open` and needed a
Retry. The Retry overwrote the session directory, so the exact sequence
could not be read back. The same error reproduces directly with
`turn.stop` (suspension) followed by `turn.start` on the same session:
the stop clears the live session and sets the lifecycle to `prepared`,
and `turn.start` never reopens it.

**Expected behavior**
When the saved session can be reopened, `turn.start` reopens it, the
same way `session.open` does, and then starts the turn. "Can be
reopened" means: the conversation identity is recorded, the provider
exit is confirmed, the session belongs to this run, and the lifecycle is
`prepared`, `suspended` or `session_open`. A session that was closed on
purpose, or whose provider exit is unconfirmed, still fails.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. `run.prepare`, `session.open`, then `turn.start`.
2. `turn.stop` (suspension stop).
3. `turn.start` again. Before this change, it fails with "ACPX session
is not open".

**Paperclip version or commit**
master at f789f3e2af. Branch rebased on current master.

## What Changed

- `acpx_provider_backend.rs`: `turn.start` checks whether there is no
live session and the saved state is reopenable. If so, it reopens
through `open_session` first, and the reopen's `session.resumed` event
comes before the turn's events. The previous body moved unchanged into
`start_turn_in_open_session`.
- `tests/acpx_warm_attachment.rs`: a new test,
`reopens_the_conversation_for_a_turn_after_a_suspension_stop`. It drives
prepare, open, turn, stop, turn and expects the second turn to be
accepted with `session.resumed`. It also checks that after
`session.close`, `turn.start` still fails.

## Verification

- Red/green: the new test fails on master with "ACPX session is not
open" and passes with the change. `cargo test -p runner-core --test
acpx_warm_attachment`: 3/3 passed.
- I also ran the full `runner-core` crate suite. Five tests failed: four
`task_memory` monitor tests and `unconfirmed_suspension_state...`. Each
of them passes on an unchanged master checkout, and the ACPX one also
passes when rerun in this branch, so they are timing-dependent and not
caused by this change.

## Risks

- Low risk. A reopen happens only under the same conditions in which
`session.open` would already succeed for this run. A closed session and
an unconfirmed provider exit stay fail-closed. The order of events
changes only by adding `session.resumed` ahead of the turn's events.

## Model Used

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 a88e23fa34 fix(runner): read an uncommitted turn start as empty history when the event window is complete (#20107)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A native run must survive repeated control-plane restarts; each
restore reconciles the turn its checkpoint names as active
> - That reconciliation reads the turn's history. When the provider has
no paginated history, the runnerd transport rebuilds it from the
committed runner events
> - After back-to-back hard restarts, the checkpoint can name an
accepted turn whose start was never committed. The runner was killed
after journaling `turn.start` and before the provider emitted anything
> - The rebuild treated every missing start as lost history and failed
with `codex_history_incomplete`, so the task needed a Retry
> - This pull request treats a missing start as empty history when the
committed window is provably complete
> - The benefit is that a run survives back-to-back restores, as it
already survives one

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20074

**What happened?**
In restart-chaos wave w-20261108T200620-s9701 (local, K4/K6 + M1,
back-to-back K4 restores), three runs failed on the second restore. Two
were Claude ACPX C1 tasks; the third was an M1 parent with its subtask.
They failed with `native_session_recovery_failed:
HarnessReconciliationError: codex_history_read_failed: thread/items/list
requires supported paginated history; Error: codex_history_incomplete:
requested turn start is outside the retained runner event window`, and
each needed a Retry.

The sequence:
1. The first restore lost the in-flight turn and started a continuation
turn. ACPX echoes the requested turn id, so the checkpoint named it as
active.
2. Six seconds later a second K4 SIGKILL killed the runner. The runner
had journaled that `turn.start` (now `execution_indeterminate`), but the
provider had emitted nothing, so no `turn.started` was committed and the
runner outbox was empty.
3. On the second restore, `thread/items/list` for that turn hit the
guard, although the committed window was complete: source sequences
1–25, nothing evicted.

**Expected behavior**
The second restore treats the never-started turn like the first restore
treated its lost turn. The runner reports it lost on restore, and
recovery starts a continuation with no Retry.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Have a checkpoint name an accepted turn whose `turn.started` was
never committed. For example, kill the runner after `turn.start` and
before the provider emits anything.
2. Restore the session. Before this change, recovery fails with
`codex_history_incomplete`.

**Paperclip version or commit**
master at 88835e624a plus #20094 (the wave). Branch rebased on current
master.

## What Changed

- `runnerd-codex-transport.ts`: a new
`committedEventWindowComplete(state)`. It is true only when the
committed events are exactly source sequences 1 to `ackedSourceSeq`:
none missing, none duplicated, none evicted.
- In the `thread/items/list` fallback, a turn with no committed start
returns empty history when the window is complete. Otherwise it still
throws `codex_history_incomplete`.

## Verification

- Red/green connected test in `runnerd-restart-continuation.test.ts`:
"starts a new turn when the checkpoint names an accepted turn whose
start was never committed". It uses the real runnerd and the fake Codex
server, and holds the provider start with `--turn-started-gate`.
  - Without the change, it fails with the exact production error.
  - With the change, the run completes on a continuation turn.
- Unit test: `committedEventWindowComplete` is false for a gap, a
missing first event, duplicates and no state.
- `npx vitest run` over every Codex, restart and recovery test file in
`packages/paperclip-runner`: 45 files, 1158 tests passed.
- `PAPERCLIP_TYPECHECK_LOW_MEMORY=1 pnpm typecheck`
(`packages/paperclip-runner`): passed.

## Risks

- Low risk. The empty history applies only when every acknowledged event
is still retained, so no event of that turn can have existed and been
dropped. Any evicted or gapped window keeps failing closed.
- Known gap, recorded as a follow-up: if eviction did remove events of a
turn the checkpoint still names, recovery still fails closed. The
planned fix is to never evict events of an unresolved checkpointed turn.

(shell, file edits, test execution).

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 83a229ae8c test(chaos): grade a fault-hit run as a restart, not a cold start (#20106)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The restart chaos harness grades speed against the native speed
budgets, and a regression fails the wave
> - It grades a run's time to first activity as a cold or warm start,
and restart recovery separately
> - Fault receipts carry no run ids, so a run that a fault hit before
its first activity was graded as a cold start
> - In a K4/K6 wave, the two slowest codex cold samples were runs that a
K6 SIGKILL hit before their first activity, so the cold p95 breach was
not a cold start
> - This pull request grades such a run as a restart
> - The benefit is that cold and warm rows measure only starts with no
fault, and restart cost stays in restart recovery

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20071, #20094

**What happened?**
Wave `w-20261108T200620-s9701` reported a codex cold
time-to-first-activity p95 of 29.9 s against a 17 s budget. The two
slowest samples were runs that a K6 restart hit before their first
activity.

**Expected behavior**
A run whose first-activity window contains a fault start is graded as a
restart, not as a cold or warm start.

**Actual behavior**
The run was graded as a cold start, and the restart time counted as
cold-start latency.

## What Changed

- `faultBeforeFirstActivity(run, faultStarts)`: true when a fault
started between the run's trace start and the end of its raw
first-activity span (or first-token span when no activity span exists).
- `collectWaveSpeed` sets such a run's phase to `restart` before it
removes outage time. Cold, warm and single-run grading already skip
restart runs. The run still counts in restart recovery through the
fault's run timing.
- A test covers the helper and the exclusion from the cold row.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run wave-speed` in `tests/restart-chaos`: 10 passed.
- `node scripts/typecheck-test-projects.mjs tests/restart-chaos`: clean.

## Risks

- A run with no first-activity or first-token span counts as hit when
any fault starts after its trace start. Such a run has no cold sample to
grade anyway.
- A fault that starts just before a run's trace start does not count,
and outage removal handles it as before.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 776f4cb602 fix(native): restart an interrupted remote bootstrap on a resumed reusable lease (t06) (#20103)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A native run on a remote sandbox must survive a control-plane
restart; a bootstrap interrupted before its first turn is restarted on
the same run
> - With a reusable (warm) sandbox lease, the restart always resumes the
same sandbox. The interrupted runner's state is still on disk there:
never suspended, and with no provider turn
> - The resumed check accepted only a suspended checkpoint or no state
at all, so it failed closed with `resumed_not_suspended`, and the task
needed a Retry (restart chaos t06)
> - The pre-phase had already proven no turn was sent and had stopped
the stale runner, but that proof never reached the resumed check
> - This pull request carries that proof forward, for this run only, and
starts the bootstrap again on the resumed sandbox
> - The benefit is that a warm task interrupted during startup continues
on its own after the restart

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
In restart-chaos wave w-20261108T192459-s9501 (Daytona warm, claude C1),
run 9bf86b59's runner reached transport-ready at 19:37:42 UTC. The
control plane was then down (another task's K4, then this task's K1).
Restart recovery classified the run `bootstrap_incomplete` and restarted
it on the same run at 19:41:51. The reusable lease resumed the same
sandbox. `inspectRemoteHarnessState` found this run's runner state with
`lifecycle` other than `suspended`, and the run failed at 19:41:59 with
`runner_ingress_unavailable: runnerd process failed:
runner_harness_state_mismatch: resumed_not_suspended`. The task needed a
manual Retry. Per-turn and non-reusable leases do not resume, so they
take another branch and were unaffected.

**Expected behavior**
A same-run restart of a bootstrap that provably sent no turn starts the
bootstrap again on the resumed sandbox, with no Retry. It must never
take over a live provider session or another run's warm session.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a task on a reusable (warm) Daytona lease.
2. Kill the control plane after the runner connected and before the
first turn, so the run is `bootstrap_incomplete`.
3. Before this change, the restart fails with `resumed_not_suspended` on
the resumed lease.

**Paperclip version or commit**
master at d007afbf86 (the wave ran on c5a172a183).

## What Changed

- `native-session-executor.ts`:
- **Pre-phase:** the `bootstrap_incomplete` remote-sandbox pre-phase
clears any earlier proof for the run, then records a per-run proof
(`recordRemoteBootstrapRestartProof`). It records one only for a
confirmed stop:
    - `absent_confirmed`: verification reported `process_not_running`;
    - `stopped` or `killed`: the exit was confirmed after the signal.

An uncertain probe or a runner that outlives SIGKILL records nothing
(`stopStaleRemoteRunnerBeforeBootstrap` now distinguishes these
outcomes).
- **Inspection:** `inspectRemoteHarnessState` also returns the `runId`
of a not-suspended runner state (`notSuspendedRunId`). Its other fields
are unchanged.
- **Resumed check:** on a `bootstrap_incomplete` restart, a
not-suspended state with no backup is restarted only when all of these
hold:
    - the on-disk state is this run's own;
    - the proof is present;
- the interrupted session folder moved aside by rename, kept as evidence
and never deleted. The runtime root, the sessions parent and the folder
must each be a real, non-symlink directory.

    The proof is consumed only after the move succeeds.

It then claims a fresh session through the existing
`claimUntouchedRemoteSession`, which still requires an unconnected
controller with matching identity.
- Every other case keeps `runner_harness_state_mismatch:
resumed_not_suspended`.

## Verification

- Red/green: a new resumed-lease scenario, `interrupted_bootstrap`, in
"bootstraps only an untouched provider session in a $outcome workspace
lease". It fails without the change and passes with it. It checks that
the old session folder is kept beside the new claim and that the claim
runs exactly once.
- Counter-cases that still fail closed, with nothing moved aside:
`interrupted_bootstrap_other_run` (a previous warm run's state on disk),
`interrupted_bootstrap_unproven` (no pre-phase proof) and
`interrupted_bootstrap_symlink_parent` (a symlinked sessions parent).
The existing warm "no-proof" case keeps `resumed_not_suspended`.
- Stale-runner stop: "does not confirm absence when the process probe is
uncertain", "reports a runner that outlives SIGKILL as not stopped", and
"records a bootstrap restart proof only for a confirmed stop" (one case
per outcome).
- `pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts`
(server): 2 files, 1440 tests passed (14 skipped).
- `PAPERCLIP_TYPECHECK_LOW_MEMORY=1 pnpm typecheck` (server): passed.

## Risks

- **Taking over a live session:** this is the risk to watch. It is
bounded by every gate together: the `bootstrap_incomplete` claim, the
pre-phase proof from the restored controller record (no turn sent) with
the stale runner stopped, this run's own on-disk state, no backup, the
folder move, and the existing unconnected-controller claim. A failure at
any step keeps the current fail-closed error.
- **Upgrade safety:** the old runner's session folder is kept by rename,
never deleted. The change applies only to state a restart left behind,
so old-saved state takes the same gated path.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 c4ba3974a7 fix(heartbeat): close run admission before a graceful shutdown closes its listener (t09) (#20102)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A graceful restart (K2) drains the control plane: it closes HTTP
admission, suspends running runs, and the next boot resumes them
> - Run admission stayed open while the HTTP listener closed.
Heartbeat's shutdown flag was set only later, inside hot-restart
preparation
> - A run that finished in that window released its issue and promoted
the queued comment wake. That started a new run that had no callback
listener
> - A remote warm continuation then failed with
`local_runtime_api_listener_unavailable`, and the task needed a Retry
(restart chaos t09)
> - This pull request closes run admission before the listener closes,
so the promoted wake stays queued for the next boot
> - The benefit is that a comment sent during a deploy continues on its
own after the restart

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19596

**What happened?**
In restart-chaos wave w-20261108T192459-s9501 (Daytona warm, Codex C1,
K2), a K2 SIGTERM started a graceful drain at 19:42:52 UTC, and the HTTP
listener closed first. At 19:43:03 the running turn finished and
released its issue. That promoted the queued comment wake, and
`startNextQueuedRunForAgent` started a new run about 11 s into the
drain. Backend setup resolved the local runtime API URL, found the
listener closed, and threw `local_runtime_api_listener_unavailable`. The
remote target is excluded from the closed-listener handoff, so the run
failed, and the task waited for a manual Retry.

**Expected behavior**
No queued run starts once a graceful shutdown has begun. A wake promoted
during the drain stays queued, and the next boot starts it with no
Retry.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a remote warm task and post a comment while its turn runs, so the
comment wake queues behind it.
2. Send SIGTERM to the control plane just before the turn finishes.
3. Before this change, a new run starts during the drain and fails with
`local_runtime_api_listener_unavailable`.

**Paperclip version or commit**
master at d007afbf86 (the wave ran on c5a172a183).

## What Changed

- `heartbeat/run-admission.ts` (new): a process-wide run admission gate
(`closeProcessRunAdmission`, `isProcessRunAdmissionClosed`). HTTP routes
build their own heartbeat instances, so the gate cannot live in one
instance.
- `heartbeat/queue.ts`: a new optional dependency,
`isRunAdmissionClosed`, which defaults to the process-wide gate.
`startNextQueuedRunForAgent`, `resumeQueuedRuns` and
`resumeQueuedRunsAfterDrain` start nothing (and read nothing) once it
returns true. Wakes are still recorded and promoted; only the start is
held.
- `heartbeat.ts`: also honors its own `shutdownInProgress` flag.
- `shutdown.ts`: `closeHttpListenerForShutdown` takes
`closeRunAdmission` and calls it first, before it checks or closes the
listener. `index.ts` passes `closeProcessRunAdmission`.

## Verification

- Red/green, new tests:
- `queue.test.ts`: "starts no run once shutdown closed run admission"
(for `startNextQueuedRunForAgent` and `resumeQueuedRuns`), and "honors
the process-wide run admission gate in every heartbeat instance".
- `shutdown.test.ts`: "closes run admission before it stops accepting
requests".
- `pnpm exec vitest run src/services/heartbeat/queue.test.ts
src/services/heartbeat/recovery.test.ts
src/__tests__/heartbeat-comment-wake-batching.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-startup-retry.integration.test.ts
src/shutdown.test.ts` (server): 5 files, 277 tests passed.
- `PAPERCLIP_TYPECHECK_LOW_MEMORY=1 pnpm typecheck` (server): passed.

## Risks

- Low risk. Only queued-run starts are held during a shutdown that has
already begun; wakes, drains, suspension and finalizers are unchanged.
The next boot's queued-run dispatch starts held runs.
- Known remaining window: a run admitted just before shutdown can still
reach backend setup after the listener closed. A local runner hands off
to restart recovery there. A remote warm continuation still fails,
because the remote target is excluded from that handoff (#19596) and the
bootstrap retry does not cover warm continuations. This change removes
the t09 sequence, where the run started after shutdown had begun; it
does not remove that narrower window.

(shell, file edits, test execution, a read-only research subagent).
