Devin FoleyandClaude Opus 5.5 7f9ef38273 fix(runner): report the upstream cause of OpenCode provider failures (#19166)
OpenCode reports some OpenRouter failures as an UnknownError whose message is the provider's JSON error body. The provider failure now reads its HTTP status, error type and message from that body, so the run shows the upstream message instead of raw JSON.

The OpenCode nativeTurnFailure diagnostic now carries the provider failure's category, retryability and HTTP status (closed values only; no provider text or code), and recognizes the driver's opencode_empty_response code. Run status, error codes and retries do not change.

Devin FoleyandClaude Opus 5.5 7edbc1fc07 fix(server): keep a successor's issue lock when a finalizing native run releases its checkout (#19156)
`release_checkout` now clears `checkoutRunId` and the execution lock only when they belong to the committing run, so a successor that claimed the issue while its predecessor was finalizing keeps its claim and passes reviewed-chat attestation.

`attestReviewedExternalChatRun` reports the first failed check as a closed label. Setup failures store it in `resultJson.reviewedChatBinding.denialReason`, and Sentry run-failure diagnostics export it as `execution.reviewedChatBindingDenialReason` (no IDs or text). The error message is unchanged.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 482ec0aea9 fix(native): run saved copy-back retries on schedule behind a slow export (#19145)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs copy their sandbox workspace back after the provider
finishes. A failed copy-back saves a retry 30 seconds later, with a
bound of 3 attempts.
> - One shared delivery queue runs these retries. A pass of that queue
ends only when its slowest check ends.
> - A legitimate sandbox export can take 10+ minutes. While it runs, all
other due retries wait.
> - On staging, a run active across a deploy showed "Reconnecting" with
an overdue retry for about 24 minutes. Its retries ran at +24 min and
+3.5 min instead of +30 s. It settled only after about 32 minutes.
> - This pull request lets idle check slots admit entries that come due
during a pass. It does not overlap a running check's resource and does
not start work after abort or drain.
> - The benefit is that the existing 3-attempt bound settles a failing
copy-back in about 1 minute, not after the slowest unrelated export.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A native run whose result is durable but whose workspace copy-back
failed stays in `running` with the label "Reconnecting" for a long time.
Its saved retry time is in the past. The retry does not run until an
unrelated slow copy-back in the same queue pass finishes.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start two native runs on different tasks with accepted results.
2. Let the copy-back of run A take many minutes.
3. Let the copy-back of run B fail. It saves a retry 30 seconds later.
4. Watch run B. Its retry does not run until run A's copy-back ends.

**Expected behavior**
Run B retries on its saved schedule. After 3 failed attempts it settles
with `native_workspace_sync_out_retry_exhausted` and a recovery action,
while run A continues.

**Paperclip version or commit**
master at a0c0851766. Observed on a staging deployment of 69dea878.

**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific (core bug). Observed with the Paperclip runner.

**Relevant logs or output**
In-run copy-back failed at 23:44:57 (retry saved for 23:45:28). The
deploy restarted the server at 23:49:45. One queue check exported
another task's workspace from 23:53:54 to 00:06:15. The overdue retry
ran at 00:09:06, then 00:12:39, and the run settled at 00:12:40 with
`native_workspace_sync_out_retry_exhausted`. About 20 other runs
followed the same timeline. Their failures at 00:12–00:13 are this same
retry exhaustion. They do not come from a reattach sweep.

## What Changed

- `registerScopedDeadlineWork` has a new opt-in
`concurrentChecks.admitDueWhileActive` option. While a pass still has a
running check, idle slots admit entries that are due (saved deadline,
failure backoff, and minimum spacing). They wait for the next deadline
or the next check completion.
- Admission skips entries owned by the pass and entries whose resource
keys a running check holds. It stops on abort or when `canRun()` is
false. The pass still ends only when all running checks end.
- The native workspace finalization queue opts in. Its `check` already
rereads the durable coordinator row before it acts.
- Regression tests: a real-database test in
`native-workspace-finalization-work.test.ts`, plus two helper tests
(resource-key safety and shutdown).

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/native-workspace-finalization-work.test.ts
src/__tests__/scoped-deadline-work.test.ts
src/__tests__/delivery-work-coordinator.test.ts` passes (68 tests).
- Red before the fix: "keeps another task's saved retries on schedule
and settles it while a slow copy-back is running" failed because
`onWorkspaceSettled` was never called for the failing run. "admits saved
deadlines that come due behind a slow check without overlapping its
resource" failed too.
- Green after the fix: the failing run makes exactly 3 attempts, settles
as `terminal_failure` / `native_workspace_sync_out_retry_exhausted`, and
the slow copy-back is admitted once and then succeeds.
- `tsc --noEmit` shows no errors in the changed files.
- Not done: a live staging check. This change is not deployed.

## Risks

- Low to medium. Only the workspace finalization queue opts in. Other
queues keep the current behavior.
- An admitted entry is not reconstructed first. The finalization `check`
rereads durable state, so a stale in-memory entry cannot start a second
export. The advisory lock and owner receipt still prevent two copy-backs
for one run.
- This change does not fix the cause of the copy-back failures on
staging (`native_session_lease_lost` in-run, then
`workspace_sync_out_failed` with no detail). That needs a separate
change.

execution in Claude Code.

c2cc69d1e4 fix(recovery): resume and settle preserved native results (#19034)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native execution can save an accepted result before workspace export
fails.
> - Recover must preserve the files and settle that same result without
another agent turn.
> - The export failure can own the task's Blocked transition and its
recovery notice.
> - Recovery must prove preservation, stop, source identity and current
authority before settlement.
> - Recover can also transfer repair ownership to the system, which must
keep explicit board export repair available.
> - This change restores those paths while preserving later task state,
live owners and unknown action outcomes.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related #17916 protects unfinished exports. Related #19004 preserves
deliberate Retry authority. This change repairs accepted-result
finalization and its recovery notice.

**What happened?**

A native run accepted its result, then exhausted workspace export.
Normal Recover could save the files but leave the result and old
recovery notice unsettled. A saved Retry could also use a different
generation from preservation. Separately, Recover changed the action
owner from board to system. Explicit export Retry then rejected that
same source as stale, even when its accepted result and stopped
allocation still matched.

**Expected behavior**

Preserve files, finish the original accepted result and close only its
obsolete notice after exact proof. Keep explicit board export repair
available after system adoption. Preserve current authority, Stop, later
task changes, newer execution and every physical ownership fence.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Accept a native result and exhaust its workspace export.
2. Request ordinary Recover, optionally with an existing saved Retry.
3. Let file preservation complete. Inspect the task and source recovery
notice.
4. To reproduce the explicit-repair defect, call export Retry after
Recover adopts the action. Before this repair it rejects the valid
system-owned source before any provider call.

## What Changed

- Record the exact accepted result, contract, task status version and
prior decision when export exhaustion creates Blocked.
- Bind passive finalization to complete, source-bound preservation and
the current chat/review authority. Recheck the proof under status commit
locks.
- Keep the saved Retry identity separate from its preservation
generation. Retain coalescing and reject malformed or mismatched
history.
- Preserve an existing published GitHub assessment for the
no-publication status-unproven wait. Keep all semantic, result,
authority and publication checks.
- Close an old export notice only after its own accepted result, export
or preservation receipts, effects, projection and old Runner ownership
settle. Keep newer work and files unchanged.
- Permit explicit board export Retry after Recover transfers the exact
source to the system. Require valid system and workspace recovery
records for that same run, plus every existing result, stop, allocation,
task and shared physical-lock check. Reject missing proof, another
source and agent ownership before provider access.
- Merge current master while retaining the stronger Stop, source and
verified preservation checks.
- Update the execution contract. No schema, endpoint, Runner protocol,
model, trust or provider artifact change.

## Verification

- Current head: `9be5a73489801095c9f39c9bfcb285a22b055912`.
- The explicit-repair regression fails before the new guard change:
ordinary Recover adopts the real database action, then export Retry
rejects it as stale. It passes after the repair.
- On the merged source, three owning PostgreSQL/file suites pass **220
tests**: `preserved-native-response-wait.integration.test.ts`,
`native-workspace-export-retry.test.ts` and
`idle-completed-history.test.ts`. The export suite includes four
unrelated-owner/source rejection controls and both board-owned and
system-adopted active-exporter controls. Results and run counts prove
that repair creates no provider turn.
- Server layered typecheck, module boundaries, `git diff --check`, and
the added-line secret/private-incident scan pass.
- Full workspace typecheck (`pnpm -r typecheck`) and build (`pnpm
build`) pass. The complete local `pnpm test:run` is still running; its
completed serialized chat partitions pass. Current-head CI is green (53
successful checks, 3 expected skips). Greptile reviewed
`9be5a73489801095c9f39c9bfcb285a22b055912` at 2026-11-05 00:58 UTC with
confidence **5/5**; all review threads are resolved.
- Original qualification remains supporting evidence: the
accepted-result fixture exercises HTTP Recover, real files, the
finalizer, saved Retry coalescing, eight commit races, current
principal/resource/head changes, Stop, later task changes, notice
closure and repeated delivery. No accepted response, provider turn or
publication is replayed.
- Earlier failures remain recorded. Original red controls exposed
wrong-action preservation, unrelated finalization barriers, generation
mismatch and a lost GitHub assessment; the original repair added
controls for them. The prior CI run
[41908572248](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41908572248)
failed an unchanged completed-history runtime fixture because its
loopback service refused connections through the original ten-second
readiness window. That owning suite passes unchanged in the 220-case run
above. The earlier readiness failure's cause remains unproven; no wait
or assertion was weakened.
- Local and CI tests do not establish hosted task recovery. The serving
revision and original-task outcomes require separate verification after
rollout.

## Risks

- Historical failures without the exact export-owned Blocked receipt
keep their current task status. A saved result does not grant execution
or publication authority.
- Explicit export repair still resumes only the same retained allocation
under the shared physical lock. It cannot take over an active exporter,
create another agent turn, choose a replacement sandbox or discard saved
files.
- Retiring a source notice does not release physical resources or modify
a newer task owner, later Done state or saved snapshot history.
- The proof adds bounded reads only for concrete recovery obligations.
It adds no recurring worker or polling timer.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex for the original repair. OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol
(`gpt-6.1-sol`), xhigh reasoning, for the merge, integration
verification and system-adopted export repair. Both used repository
tools, code execution and PostgreSQL tests. The runtime does not expose
a context-window size.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 11f2a5293d fix(native): name the proof that holds a recovered per-turn owner (#19061)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native Runner per-turn sessions in a remote sandbox keep one
conversation across task turns.
> - A follow-up must prove that the previous Runner owner is finished
before it starts a new Runner. #18846 added a retirement path for an
owner that finished without a saved Runner checkpoint.
> - On a test deployment, follow-ups still fail with
`runner_state_identity_mismatch:
prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate`. The retirement path has about
twenty separate fences, and each refusal gives the same error.
> - The read-only run data cannot tell which fence held these runs. A
code fix without that evidence would be a guess.
> - This pull request names the first failed retirement proof in the
error. Admission behavior does not change.
> - The benefit is that the next failure on a deployment identifies the
exact fence, so the follow-up fix can target it.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18846 (retirement of recovered per-turn owners). Refs #18992
(settlement from live state).

**What happened?**

On a test deployment, 16 runs in one day failed before provider work
with `runner_state_identity_mismatch:
prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate`. All were per-turn
`acpx_runtime` runs in a Daytona sandbox, and each got a new sandbox. In
the runs that I inspected, the previous run committed its result. In one
of them, `harness_state.backup.persist` and `session.checkpoint.persist`
ran for about 346 seconds and failed, so the Runner left no suspension
receipt or failover backup. That is the case that #18846 addresses, but
the follow-ups still failed. The run log does not show the retirement
message, and the error is the same for each fence. Thus the cause cannot
be found from the run data.

**Expected behavior**

When admission holds a follow-up, the error names the proof that failed.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Seed a per-turn sandbox owner that committed its result without a
Runner suspension receipt.
2. Make one retirement proof fail. For example, leave the owner phase
`observed`, or leave a `runner.suspend` command pending.
3. Admit a follow-up in a new sandbox.
4. Before this change, every case fails with the same error text.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Observed on a deployment before `e107a75755`. The same error text is on
`master`.

## What Changed

- `retireFinishedPerTurnRunnerdOwner` returns the refusal reason instead
of `false`. `readSettledRunnerdProjection` returns the journal refusal
reason instead of `null`.
- When admission tries the retirement and it fails, the error is
`prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate; retirement_refused=<reason>`.
A warm session gets no suffix, because retirement does not apply to it.
- Reasons use only fixed lists of known names: owner phase, recovery
state, controller fence reason, unsettled command type and status,
sandbox outcome, and quarantine copy result. Any other stored value
appears as `other`. Reasons do not include payloads, file names, or
paths.
- The same proofs apply in the same order. Admission accepts and refuses
the same states as before.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md` describes the suffix.

## Verification

- **Failure before the change:** I ran the updated
`native-recovered-owner-followup.test.ts` against the unchanged
executor. 18 tests failed. Example: expected `...indeterminate;
retirement_refused=owner_observed`, received `...indeterminate`.
- **After the change:** `cd server && pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-recovered-owner-followup.test.ts`: 22
passed. Each held case now asserts its reason:
`owner_retryable_failure`, `controller_remote_controller_lease_live`,
`owner_recovery_resuming_session`,
`journal_commands_unsettled(runner.suspend.pending)`,
`journal_tool_input_unanswered`, `quarantine_journal_identity_mismatch`,
`runner_lifecycle_not_suspended`, and
`quarantine_runner_lifecycle_not_suspended`.
- The success cases still retire the owner and admit the follow-up.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/remote-warm-session-recovery.test.ts`: 1227
passed, 20 skipped.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-controller-recovery.integration.test.ts
src/__tests__/task-workspace-binding.test.ts`: passed.
- `tsc --noEmit` reports no errors in the changed lines. This worktree
did not build every workspace package, so the full-package typecheck
shows unrelated missing-module errors. CI runs the full typecheck.
- **Not verified live:** no deployment has run this change.

## Risks

- Low risk. Admission logic is unchanged. Only the error text gets a
suffix.
- Consumers that match the error by prefix still match.
`failed-run-retry.ts` uses `startsWith("runner_state_identity_mismatch:
")`. No code compares the full string outside tests.
- This change does not fix the held runs. It finds the fence. A second
change is needed after a deployment reports the reason.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) in Claude Code, with tool use,
shell execution, and read-only browser access to a test deployment. The
harness does not expose the context window size.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 3a72efebe5 fix(native): confirm no runner process when remote staging fails before launch (#19059)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native sandbox runs supervise a remote `paperclip-runnerd` process.
When that process exits during a turn, the transport restarts it inside
a reconnect grace window.
> - The server launcher stages the runtime assets first. Then it sends
one launch RPC that starts runnerd.
> - When staging failed, the launcher reported the exit as unconfirmed.
This happened although no launch RPC was sent and no process could
exist.
> - Reconnect recovery treats an unconfirmed exit as a possible second
owner. So it stopped at once with
`runner_process_termination_unconfirmed` and did not retry.
> - This pull request confirms the exit for failures before the launch
RPC. Failures after dispatch stay unconfirmed.
> - The benefit is that a transient staging failure, such as a full
sandbox disk, uses the normal bounded retry. A real failure ends with
`transport_reconnect_grace_exceeded` and keeps the staging error as the
detail.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
On a hosted staging deployment, 7 native ACPX runs failed in 24 hours
with `Provider notification transport failed closed.`
(`native_provider_terminal_failed`). In every run, the runner process
exited during the turn. The replacement launch then failed while it
uploaded the runtime context into the sandbox:
`runner_process_termination_unconfirmed: replacement runner health could
not be verified: ... .paperclip-upload-<uuid>.tar.gz: create: ... no
space left on device`.
The sandbox disk was full. No replacement process was started. But the
launcher said that it could not confirm the exit. So recovery did not
retry inside its grace window.

**Expected behavior**
A staging failure before the launch RPC proves that no replacement
process exists. Recovery must retry within the configured reconnect
grace. If the failure continues, the run must end with the
reconnect-grace failure and the staging error.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create a remote runner launcher whose `ensureArtifact` step throws,
for example with an ENOSPC upload error.
2. Wait for the handle completion to reject.
3. Before this change, `isExitConfirmed()` returns `false`, and no
launch RPC was sent. The transport then fails closed with
`runner_process_termination_unconfirmed`.

**Paperclip version or commit**
Observed on staging revision `89703c3`. Reproduced on `master` at
`be20d4ad97`.

Related: #19035 and #19014 change other runner paths (replayed terminal
turns and redacted external tool results). They do not change remote
launcher exit evidence. #18999 adds a free-space reserve for host-volume
seed copies. It does not change sandbox disk use or this classification.

## What Changed

- `createRemoteRunnerProcessLauncher` records when it dispatches the
launch RPC. If the completion fails before that point, the handle
reports `isExitConfirmed() === true`. The original error is kept
unchanged.
- A failed or timed-out launch RPC still reports an unconfirmed exit,
because the RPC may have started runnerd.
- Added a launcher regression for a staging failure before dispatch.
- Added safety cases for a failed and a timed-out launch RPC.
- Added a transport regression with the real `paperclip-runnerd`. A
replacement whose staging fails is retried, and the next launch restores
the durable session without a notification failure.

## Verification

- Red before the fix: `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts -t "remote
runner process supervision"` failed `confirms no replacement process
exists when staging fails before the launch RPC` with `expected false to
be true`. The two launch-RPC safety cases passed.
- Green after the fix: `npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts` passes 1131
of 1131 tests.
- `npx vitest run src/services/native-runtime/setup-readiness.test.ts`
passes 98 of 98 tests.
- `cd packages/paperclip-runner && npx vitest run
src/live/runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts` passes 246 of 246 tests with
the real debug `paperclip-runnerd`. This includes the existing case
where a replacement with a dispatched but unverifiable process still
fails closed.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server` and `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/paperclip-runner typecheck` pass.
- Not run: a live hosted sandbox with a full disk. The staging data
showed the exact error, but this change was not deployed there.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change affects only failures that occur before the
launch RPC. In that window, the launcher has not run any sandbox command
that can start runnerd.
- Retries now run for the reconnect grace window, which is bounded and
uses the existing backoff. Each failed staging attempt cleans its own
upload scratch.
- This change does not free sandbox disk space. If the disk stays full,
the run still fails, now with `transport_reconnect_grace_exceeded` and
the ENOSPC detail.

## Model Used

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 5723fd82ca fix(native): release a fresh claim when task preparation fails (#19065)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A native run claims its finalization coordinator before task
preparation. Then it starts the provider turn.
> - Task preparation can fail after the claim and before any provider
turn.
> - In that case the executor kept its claim. Failure settlement read
the claim as a live owner and stopped. Nothing failed the run.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19028. That PR keeps the earlier failure code when the watchdog
fails a run. In this case no earlier code is saved, so it cannot help.
This PR removes the wait for the watchdog. I searched open PRs for
duplicates. #18820, #19034 and #19038 touch near code, but none release
a preparation claim.

**What happened?**

A native task with a prepared sandbox workspace failed during
preparation, after the controller claim committed. The coordinator
stayed `observed` and kept this controller's lease owner. The heartbeat
failure path calls workspace preservation. Preservation refuses any
lease owner without a matching restart claim, so it raised
`NativeWorkspaceFinalizationBusyError`. The heartbeat then treated
ownership as held and returned without a terminal write. About 60
seconds later the watchdog failed the run with a generic "verify the
provider stopped" action. The real error (for example
`native_harness_storage_owner_missing`) stayed only in the workspace
operation record.

**Expected behavior**

When no provider turn started under a fresh claim, settle the failure
like a failure before the claim: retain the source, fail the run with
its own error, and do not wait for the watchdog.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a native run with a prepared remote workspace.
2. Make task preparation fail after `native.coordinator.claim` commits
(for example, a preparation callback throws).
3. See that the run stays `running` until the control deadline fails it
as `execution_finalization_deadline_exceeded`.

## What Changed

- `native-execution-lease.ts`: add
`releaseUnstartedNativeExecutionClaim`. It clears the lease owner and
expiry only for the exact run, company, issue, owner and attempt, while
the phase is `observed` and no result exists.
- `native-session-executor.ts`: when task preparation fails after a
fresh claim, mark that claim. The startup owner releases it after
renewal stops. A restart-recovery claim, a startup-cleanup context,
Stop, restart detach, or a different owner keeps the old behavior.
- Tests: an executor regression for the fresh and restart cases, and a
real-database test for release and workspace retention against the exact
owner, a foreign owner, a different attempt and an accepted result.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: state that the deadline is a backstop
and describe the release.

## Verification

- Red before the fix: `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts -t "releases
only a fresh claim"` fails with "releaseUnstartedNativeExecutionClaim
... Number of calls: 0".
- Green after the fix, with the same command.
- `npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-failed-workspace-recovery.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-execution-lease.test.ts
src/services/execution-control-reconciliation.test.ts` passes (embedded
Postgres for the retention test).
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` passes.
- Not done: a live run against a real sandbox at this revision. The
staging evidence is read-only.

## Risks

- The release is fenced by the exact owner, attempt, `observed` phase
and no result. Renewal stops before the release, so a renewal cannot see
a missing owner and detach or cancel the run.
- The fix covers failures inside task preparation only. Failures later
in startup, or after a restart-recovery claim expires, still reach the
watchdog. Those keep fail-closed behavior and need separate evidence.
- If the release write fails, the run keeps the old watchdog path.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 cda9460ae9 fix(native): restart remote bootstrap after a shutdown during preparation (#19056)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native runs in a remote sandbox go through workspace preparation
before the Runner process starts.
> - When the server restarts, restart recovery decides if a remote run
can safely restart its bootstrap.
> - A remote run that never started a Runner process, never had a lease
owner, and has no provider evidence can restart its bootstrap. Recovery
calls this an "unclaimed bootstrap".
> - A graceful shutdown (SIGTERM) suspends every running native
coordinator. It sets `leaseExpiresAt = now`, also when the coordinator
has no lease owner.
> - The unclaimed-bootstrap check requires `leaseExpiresAt` to be null.
So a deploy during workspace preparation turns a safe bootstrap restart
into `native_restart_recovery_blocked` /
`ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`. The task is blocked and a board
recovery action is created.
> - This pull request lets the check accept an elapsed expiry when the
coordinator has no lease owner.
> - The benefit is that a deploy during remote workspace preparation no
longer blocks the task. Every other contradictory-evidence guard stays
in force.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

On a staging instance, three remote-sandbox runs failed with
`native_restart_recovery_blocked` and
`ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence` after one deploy. Each run was in
native workspace preparation (`snapshot.git`, `pack`, `seed.verify`,
`stage.workspace`). No run had a process start, a process identity, a
provider event, or a checkpoint. The graceful shutdown event was the
only coordinator change. The next server then blocked each run in
restart recovery.

**Expected behavior**

A remote run that was suspended during preparation, before any Runner
launch or lease claim, restarts its bootstrap on the same run. Recovery
does not block the task.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Prepare a remote native run (prepared native workspace sync, fenced
preparation, no process, no checkpoint).
2. Call `drainRunningRunsForShutdown("SIGTERM")` for the run.
3. Call `claimNativeRestartRecoveries` as a successor controller with
`restartKind: "hard"`.
4. Observe `{ kind: "blocked", reason:
"ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence" }`. Without step 2, the same run
gets `bootstrap_incomplete`.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `master` at `be20d4ad97`.

**Deployment mode**

Remote sandbox environments with PostgreSQL.

Related: #18877 (remote checkpoint retry reclaim) and #18854
(pre-provider startup retry). Neither changes this predicate.

## What Changed

- `claimNativeRestartRecoveries`: the unclaimed remote bootstrap check
accepts `leaseExpiresAt` when the coordinator has no lease owner and the
expiry has elapsed. A null owner with an elapsed expiry grants no
authority.
- New regression: a remote run suspended by the real graceful-shutdown
drain during preparation is claimed as `bootstrap_incomplete`, with no
recovery action.
- New safety case: an ownerless coordinator with an unexpired lease
expiry still blocks with `ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`.

## Verification

- Red before the fix: `npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts
-t "graceful shutdown suspended during preparation"` returned `blocked`
/ `ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`.
- Green after the fix: the same test returns `bootstrap_incomplete` with
`providerAttempt: 0` and `controllerGeneration: 1`.
- The existing contradictory-evidence cases (`claimed`, `generation`,
`process`, `launch`, `provider-event`, `checkpoint`,
`invalid-workspace`, `unfenced`) and the new `unexpired-lease` case
still block.
- Full `native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts` suite and
server `tsc --noEmit` pass locally.
- Not run: a live deploy on a remote sandbox. The fix is not deployed.
The original blocked tasks are not recovered by this change.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change relaxes one field of one predicate. All other
unclaimed-bootstrap conditions stay: prepared workspace, fenced
preparation, attempt 0, generation 0, no controller identity, no lease
owner, no process identity, no session, no checkpoint, no provider
evidence, and no launch or tool event.
- The executor still requires the durable PRP root to prove an
incomplete bootstrap before it starts a fresh bootstrap.

DottaandPaperclip 7d46532c6d fix(runtime): bound parallel offline harness backup transfers (#19108)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - An ephemeral web server must retain provider history outside its
local disk.
> - Offline enrollment moves verified local harness backups to object
storage.
> - A cold rehearsal reached 699 current backup rows while processing
1,953 sources before its 25-minute deadline.
> - The serial transfer loop prevents this existing dataset from
enrolling.
> - This pull request overlaps at most four transfers within the
existing total scratch limit.
> - The benefit is faster preservation with the same ownership and
publication checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19038, #18943, #18932.

**What happened?**

Offline enrollment processed 1,953 local provider backups one at a time.
The normal Cloud image reached 699 current backup rows (including nine
pre-existing rows) before maintenance expired. The serving instance
remained unchanged during the isolated test.

**Expected behavior**

Enrollment must preserve every source within bounded time and disk use.
It must stop all in-flight transfers before it reports failure.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Prepare a settled instance with multiple verified native harness
backups.
2. Run offline enrollment against shared object storage.
3. Observe that the serial owner waits for each archive, upload,
readback and publication before starting the next source.

## What Changed

- Process groups of up to four verified offline harness backups.
- Reserve space for the archive and encrypted copy before each group
starts. Keep the total scratch limit equal to one maximum-size serial
transfer.
- Derive a smaller archive limit from a closed manifest directory set.
Preserve unlisted files with an exclusive maximum-size reservation.
- Enforce the reservation while streaming. Keep the existing maximum for
ordinary runtime backups.
- Cancel and await peer transfers after failure. Keep completed
publications valid for retry.
- Preserve the original archive-stream failure when the tar writer also
fails after destruction.
- Document the migration bound and add integration regressions for
overlap, restoration, cancellation, retry, extra files and archive
limits.

## Verification

- Serial baseline: the new overlap regression fails with one active
transfer when four are required.
- Candidate: 59 targeted tests pass with real PostgreSQL, S3, filesystem
archives and restored provider bytes. The bundled-entry test is skipped
locally because this source worktree has no runtime bundle. The full
normal image rehearsal remains required.
- Follow-up: 48 archive/storage checks pass after correcting the
PAX-header allowance. The real encoder produces a 972,801,024-byte
full-entry projection, above the old 805,306,368-byte allowance and
below the new 1,024,001,024-byte bound. The existing global object limit
remains in force. The old formula fails the new regression. Exact-size
restoration and one-byte-over-limit rejection pass.
- The previous revision passed full CI after one setup-route timeout
retry. That failure remains recorded; the corrected current revision
f7c2be1289 passed fresh full CI (41937700826) and Greptile 5/5. Its
review thread is resolved.
- Local server typecheck found four test-only Promise library errors;
those are fixed. The remaining 26 diagnostics come from stale linked
dependency declarations outside the changed files. Clean full CI is
required before merge.
- The resumed isolated staging-copy experiment also exceeded its
25-minute deadline. It reached 1,389 current backups. This improves
transfer throughput but does not by itself qualify enrollment; online
preparation is tracked in #19137.
- Full fresh normal-image migration, empty-home restoration and hosted
release handoffs remain deployment acceptance gates.

## Risks

- Parallel work increases concurrent object-storage and database
requests to at most four transfers. The scratch reservation still bounds
archive and ciphertext files together.
- A malformed or changed source can fail its streaming limit. The
migration retains its source and stops before export.
- Partial completed publications survive failure. Retry verifies them
under the existing hash and ownership rules.
- No serving configuration, deployment pin, database contract or
provider lifecycle policy changes in this pull request.

code editing, shell tools and test execution. The runtime does not
expose its context-window size.

ea6bd15e2a fix(native): record why finalization failed a run (#19063)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A native run finishes in two steps: the provider turn, then
finalization. Finalization saves the workspace and commits the result.
> - When finalization exhausts its retries, `recordRetryableFailure`
sets the run to `failed` and blocks the task.
> - That code writes the cause only to `resultJson.failureCode`. It does
not write the run's `errorCode` or `error`.
> - So the run list, inbox, and agent status show a failed run with no
reason. Operators cannot tell why the run failed.
> - This pull request writes the finalizer's terminal failure code and a
readable message to the run row when the finalizer fails the run.
> - The benefit is that every failed run now names its cause.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A hosted instance had 11 assigned native runs with status `failed`,
`errorCode` null, and `error` null in one day. In each run, the provider
turn succeeded. The remote workspace copy-back then failed three times.
The finalizer set the run to `failed` and blocked the task. The run kept
no error code. `resultJson.failureCode` was
`native_workspace_sync_out_retry_exhausted`, but no screen shows that
field as the failure reason.

**Expected behavior**

A failed run has an `errorCode` and an `error`. The failure surfaces
show why the run failed.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a native run with a finalization coordinator.
2. Call `recordNativeFinalizationFailure` three times with
`native_workspace_sync_out_failed` and `failureScope: "workspace"`.
3. Read the run. Its status is `failed`, and its `errorCode` and `error`
are null.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at be20d4ad97.

## What Changed

- `recordRetryableFailure` in
`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-run-finalizer.ts` now sets
`errorCode` to the terminal failure code and `error` to a readable
message when it projects a run to `failed`. This covers
`native_workspace_sync_out_retry_exhausted`,
`native_workspace_sync_out_unrecoverable`, and
`native_finalization_retry_exhausted`.
- The update keeps an earlier root `errorCode` and `error` (`coalesce`).
- The update does not change a run that Stop already cancelled. It uses
the same row-level `case` as the status write.
- The update does not add an error when the finalizer projects the run
as `succeeded` or `cancelled`.
- New tests in `native-run-finalizer-telemetry.test.ts` cover the failed
projection, root-cause retention, concurrent cancellation, a retry that
remains, the provider-scope failure, and the provider-succeeded
projection.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-run-finalizer-telemetry.test.ts`
- Before the fix, three tests failed because `errorCode` was null:
"bounds workspace-only retries…", "records the finalization error code
when provider-scope retries fail…", and "blocks immediately when the
sandbox… is gone".
- After the fix, all tests in the file pass.
- Related suites pass: `native-workspace-export-retry`,
`native-run-projection-work`, `explicit-native-continuation`,
`execution-control-work`, `native-status-arbiter-corpus`, and
`workspace-recovery` (971 tests). One `workspace-recovery` test timed
out at 30 s under the parallel load. It passes when run alone.
- Downstream checks: the export retry path
(`native-workspace-export-retry.ts`) and the success projection
(`native-run-projection.ts`) already clear `error` and `errorCode` when
they reopen or succeed a run. A later recovery therefore does not keep a
stale error.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change only writes two columns that were null for these
runs.
- `error` is now also the agent status reason and the lease failure
reason for these runs. Before, the agent reason fell back to
`native_workspace_sync_out_failed`.
- This change does not fix the first cause of the copy-back failures.
The remote capture reports only the generic
`remote_workspace_operation_failed`, because the capture output is
redacted. That cause needs separate work.

DottaandPaperclip 818d2bb661 fix(native): preserve closed post-result failure diagnostics (#19126)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Native execution persists a result before it completes cleanup and
workspace export.
> - A later execution error enters the failure-write path.
> - That write must reject an already selected result. The existing code
reports lease loss for every rejected write.
> - This can hide the category of the first error even when the same
controller still owns an unexpired lease.
> - This change adds closed diagnostic labels after exact ownership and
accepted-result checks. It keeps the existing control error and recovery
policy.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A local real-PostgreSQL regression accepts a result through the
production control plane, then injects a harmless filesystem failure.
The production executor reports `native_session_lease_lost`. It loses
the original failure category because the failure transition requires a
null result ID.

**Expected behavior**

Keep the result guard and the existing lifecycle classification. Record
a closed diagnostic category when the selected result is accepted and
the controller still has exact, unexpired authority. Keep ordinary
lease-loss fencing when that proof is absent or its diagnostic lock is
busy.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the new post-result cases in
`server/src/services/heartbeat/runtime-execution.test.ts`. They use the
real executor, control-plane result commit, heartbeat recovery path and
PostgreSQL. The provider boundary is controlled. No live provider is
used.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The regression fails on base `7d1e9b3477`. Related open PR #16917
changes legacy lease recovery. Open #19063 adds terminal finalizer
reasons, and #15310 preserves database finalization errors. They do not
change this executor diagnostic branch. This change only adds native
diagnostic evidence and does not reclaim a lease.

## What Changed

- Add a typed diagnostic with a closed stage, category and
accepted-result flag. Do not retain the source message, path, arbitrary
code or lease token.
- After a rejected failure write, check the selected accepted result and
the exact company, task, run, owner, attempt, generation, process
identity and expiry. Use a coordinator-only `NOWAIT` lock. Fall back to
the original control error if the diagnostic read fails.
- Report the closed event after rollback. Keep
`native_session_lease_lost` as the error message and leave every
failure-write predicate unchanged.
- Add real-PostgreSQL safety cases for stale and expired authority,
owner replacement, Stop state, result selection, pending accounting, one
provider invocation, closed labels and diagnostic sink failure.
- Document the closed event, unchanged authority, and possible late
diagnostic sink completion.
- Add a competing-row-lock barrier. It verifies actual PostgreSQL lock
refusal and control settlement before the competing lock is released.

## Verification

- Permanent regression on unchanged base: RED because the closed
diagnostic is absent.
- NOWAIT mutation: RED when only NOWAIT is removed. PostgreSQL reports
lock timeout instead of immediate lock refusal. The test uses barriers
and the actual database error, with no elapsed-time assertion.
- Final related suites: 56 tests passed across runtime execution and
provider failure integration tests.
- Full server source and test typecheck: passed.
- Full `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed in an independent locked-dependency
checkout.
- Full `pnpm build`: passed.
- Full `pnpm test:run`: running in the independent immutable checkout.
All six chat shards passed; the remaining suites are still pending.
- The first current-head CI attempt failed in two cases: workspace
runtime initial fixture HTTP readiness and instructions-bundle
error-message rendering. Both exact cases passed in isolation on
unchanged PR head and base. The original causes remain unknown after
bounded test-only observation. One controlled same-head rerun of each
failed job passed. Current required CI and all other completed checks
passed. Original failures remain recorded; no infrastructure or
flaky-test claim is made.
- Module boundary check and `git diff --check`: passed.
- Exact-head Greptile: 5/5 with no actionable findings or open review
threads. Automatic native review remains queued. That advisory check is
not required by current master rules; no current-head native assessment
is claimed.
- Earlier fixture setup failures remain recorded. These included missing
fixture fields and observing the Drizzle wrapper instead of its
PostgreSQL cause. They are not the regression RED. An earlier broad
typecheck was interrupted for the required NOWAIT revision; the final
full typecheck passed.
- No hosted export recovery or original hosted failure cause is claimed.

## Risks

The extra read is diagnostic only. It uses NOWAIT and cannot wait for a
competing coordinator lock. Its failure preserves the existing control
classification. The event sink uses the existing 60-second
execution-control bound. A slow sink can finish later and emit a late
event. Result selection, Stop, accounting, retry eligibility and
provider work do not depend on event success. No schema or lifecycle
contract changes are required.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6.1, model ID `gpt-6.1-sol`, with reasoning, tool use and
code execution. The host did not expose the context-window size.

35d086213e fix(native): explain failed accepted results on the run (#19091)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A native run ends when the server projects the accepted result onto
the run row.
> - Operators read `errorCode` and `error` on a failed run to learn why
it failed.
> - Three native writers can set a run to `failed` without these fields.
#19063 repairs the finalizer retry-exhaustion writer.
> - The two result-projection writers still set `failed` with no cause
when the provider failure is not classified.
> - This pull request makes both projection writers record a cause when
they project `failed`.
> - The benefit is that, with #19063, no native writer can leave a
failed run unexplained.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19063.

**What happened?**

A staging soak found 11 failed native runs with `errorCode` null and
`error` null. In each run the provider turn succeeded. Workspace
copy-back then failed three times, and the finalizer retry-exhaustion
path set the run to `failed`. #19063 fixes that writer. An audit of
every `heartbeat_runs` status writer found two more writers with the
same defect. `finalizeNativeRun` and `projectCommittedRun` project an
accepted result with `runTerminalState: "failed"`. They write the error
fields only when a classified provider failure exists.

**Expected behavior**

A run with status `failed` always has an `errorCode` and an `error`. A
cause that is already recorded stays.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Accept a native result with `runTerminalState: "failed"` and no
`turn.failed` event.
2. Call `finalizeNativeRun` with `projectRunStatus: true`, or project
the committed run through `projectCommittedRun`.
3. Read the run. On master its status is `failed`, and its `errorCode`
and `error` are null.

## What Changed

- Add `explainFailedRun` in
`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-run-failure-explanation.ts`.
It builds SQL SET expressions. They keep a non-empty existing
`errorCode` or `error`. Otherwise they write `native_run_failed` and a
readable message. By default the expressions leave a run that is already
`cancelled` unchanged, as the status writers do.
- `finalizeNativeRun` uses the helper when it projects `failed`. The
existing provider-failure and recovered-failure values remain the
preferred causes.
- `projectCommittedRun` uses the helper for a `failed` accepted result.
This writer sets status unconditionally, so it does not use the
cancelled branch.
- Writer audit: all legacy and heartbeat callers of `setRunStatus*` that
pass `failed` already set both fields. The other direct native writers
also set both fields.

## Verification

- Red, with the source change stashed: 3 new cases failed with
`errorCode: null`. These were the finalizer projection, recovery
projection with no cause, and recovery projection with an empty error.
The control case with a recorded cause passed.
- Green: `npx vitest run
src/__tests__/native-run-projection-work.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-run-finalizer-telemetry.test.ts
src/__tests__/native-status-arbiter-corpus.test.ts` (225 passed).
- Wider run: all `server/src/__tests__/native-*.test.ts` and
`server/src/services/native-runtime/*.test.ts` (7416 passed). Two
failures come from the local environment. `plugin-runner-probe` needs
the Rust runner source. `native-ingress-bootstrap-retry` needs the
controller-host OpenCode proxy.
- This change was not exercised on staging. It changes only fields that
are written at terminal projection.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change affects only rows that are projected to `failed`.
A recorded cause is never replaced. Succeeded and cancelled projections
are unchanged.
- The staging failures need #19063 too. This PR alone does not change
their writer.
- The cause behind the staging copy-back failures is still unknown. The
sandbox command reports the redacted
`remote_workspace_operation_failed`, which also appears in a separate
signature. This PR does not change that diagnostic.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, through Claude Code
with tool use (shell, file edits, browser reads of staging run records).

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 aa8372fd5d fix(accounting): post late usage to its owning run (#18991)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native Runner sessions keep one provider conversation across task
turns, so Paperclip accounts usage per run.
> - Codex can report more usage for a turn after its run's charge was
posted.
> - The Runner then marked the session `reconciliation_required`. If
another run was attached, it also failed that run. Core refused the
delivery with `native_usage_after_finalization_requires_reconciliation`.
> - That usage has already happened. Blocking the session cannot undo
it, and the debt waited for an operator while the run totals stayed
wrong.
> - Codex totals are cumulative, and the Runner already knows the owning
run in most cases. So the correct amount can be posted automatically.
> - This pull request reports the exact increment with its owner, and
posts it to the owning run as a separate cost event.
> - The benefit is that run accounting becomes correct without stopping
work, and an old run's usage can no longer fail a newer run.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No issue exists. I searched open and closed pull requests and issues for
"late usage", `native_usage_after_finalization_requires_reconciliation`
and `codex_usage_accounting_integrity`. I found no duplicate.

**What happened?**

Code review found this while diagnosing session recovery failures. When
Codex reported usage above the known total for a turn that was not
active, the Runner blocked the session. If that turn belonged to a
previous run, the Runner also failed the attached run with
`codex_usage_accounting_integrity`. Core kept the receipt as debt, and
could correct it automatically only if the token counts were unchanged.

**Expected behavior**

Late usage does not stop any run or session. The charge goes to the run
that used the tokens, and it is auditable.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Finish a Codex turn on a native Runner session and attach the next
run.
2. Have Codex send `thread/tokenUsage/updated` with a higher total for
the finished turn.
3. On the unfixed code, the attached run fails and later attaches are
refused.
`late_codex_usage_requires_durable_reconciliation_before_or_after_handoff`
encoded this behavior.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `04a24f4e06`.

**Deployment mode**

Any deployment that uses a native Runner with Codex.

## What Changed

- **Runner:** late usage no longer sets `reconciliation_required` or
fails a run. For a turn that belongs to a previous run, the Runner emits
`usage.reported` with the increment in `runDelta` and the owner in
`reconciliation.priorOrigin`. `runDeltaAvailable` stays `false`, so an
older Core does not bill it to the attached run.
- **`CodexRunUsage::absorb_late_usage`:** treats only usage above the
known thread total as late, and keeps the attached run's delta
unchanged. A report at or below that total adds nothing, so the sum
across runs always equals the thread total and a replay cannot charge
twice.
- **Delivery:** `captureLateUsageForOwner` stores the increment as a
late receipt on the owning run. The owner must be a finished run in the
same company and native session. If the Runner cannot name the owner,
Core uses the session's last finished run and records the attribution as
`inferred`.
- **Local Runner:** late usage stays with the run that is active when it
arrives, or the next run. Usage reported between two runs stays in the
next run's delta, so the total stays exact.
- **Accounting:** `reconcileLateRunUsageReceiptInTransaction` posts a
token increase as a new cost event with the key
`heartbeat:<run>:late:<receipt>`. It updates the run totals so the
accounting integrity check still agrees, records
`cost.late_usage_posted` in the activity log, and queues budget
evaluation.
- **No more refusal:** `persistUsageReceipt` no longer throws after it
saves late evidence, so late usage cannot wedge a Runner outbox.
- **Covered receipts:** an older same-source receipt at or below the
accepted totals, with matching billing, is cleared because a newer
cumulative receipt already covers it. Conflicting billing stays as debt.
- **Older Runners:** a zero-filled invalidation stays on the delivering
run.
- **Unchanged:** a newer lower total, a changed model or billing type,
and per-model receipts stay as visible accounting debt for an operator.
- **Unchanged:** an unexpected provider message during the warm
attachment drain still fails closed. A separate change addresses that
gate.
- **Docs:** added "Late provider usage" to `doc/execution-semantics.md`.

## Verification

- `cd packages/paperclip-runner/runner && cargo test --locked -p
paperclip-runner-core --test codex_provider`: 99 passed, 2 ignored.
- `cargo test --locked -p paperclip-runner-core --lib codex_usage`: 7
passed. This includes new tests for the out-of-order and repeated report
cases.
- `cd server && pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/run-cost-accounting.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-usage-delivery.integration.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-recovery-usage-delivery.test.ts
src/__tests__/cost-data-quality.test.ts`: passed against embedded
PostgreSQL before the last review fixes, and the accounting and delivery
files were re-run after them.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p .` in `server` reports no errors.
- New tests cover exact and inferred owners, repeated delivery, late
usage that arrives before the owner's charge posts, another session's
run, an older Runner's report with no increment, a same-run increase,
and a lower total. They also run the accounting integrity check after
posting.
- **Review:** Greptile Apex scored 1/5, 4/5, 3/5, 2/5 and 4/5 while
findings were fixed, then 5/5 at the current head.
- **Local Runner:** driver tests cover usage reported between two runs,
including across a restore. No end-to-end local run has exercised it.
- **Not run locally:** the full test suite. CI provides that coverage.
- **Not verified live:** a read-only check of a test deployment found no
late receipts in its history, so this path has only run against
fixtures.

## Risks

- **Run totals can rise after a run finishes.** This is deliberate. The
correction is a separate cost event and an activity log entry.
- **Budgets are corrected after the fact.** A late charge can put an
agent over budget after later work has started. Budget evaluation runs
after each correction, but it cannot prevent that work.
- **Local sessions accept imperfect attribution by design.** Their late
usage can land on the active or next run, because local sessions have no
durable path for routing it. This also applies after a Stop or a pause.
The total stays exact.
- **Out-of-order reports can leave tokens on the wrong run in the
session.** If a prior turn's report arrives after the attached run has
already counted past that total, those tokens stay on the attached run.
Moving them would need a lower correction to the attached run. The total
stays exact.
- **Inferred attribution can name the wrong run in the session.** The
usage still belongs to that session and the total stays correct. The
attribution is recorded as `inferred`.
- **A session with no finished run charges the delivering run,** as an
inferred late charge after its own charge posts.
- **Rollout order:** deploy Core before the Runner. An older Core would
keep this event on the attached run as incomplete usage, and would still
refuse a same-run late receipt.
- **Migrations:** this change has no migration.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip c7390bef20 fix(server): stop one slow copy-back from starving workspace retries (#19111)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A native run can accept its result before the workspace copy-back
finishes. A background worker retries a failed copy-back from the
retained sandbox without another provider turn.
> - Until that retry succeeds, the run stays `running` and keeps its
task's execution lock. User answers and wakes for that task stay queued.
> - The worker checked one entry at a time (`batchSize: 1`, no
concurrent checks). A slow sandbox export held every other task's due
retry for the whole export.
> - Work without a saved retry time used a deadline of `0`. Copy-backs
that a restart interrupted always sorted ahead of retries that were due
hours earlier.
> - On a busy server that restarts often, scheduled retries never got to
the front of the queue. Their tasks stayed stuck.
> - This pull request runs up to four checks at once, one per task, and
orders pending work by when it became pending.
> - The benefit is that one slow export cannot stall unrelated tasks,
and an old retry runs before newer work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17734 (added this worker), #18421 (the same concurrency pattern
for native reply recovery) and #19063 (open; records why finalization
failed a run). This pull request does not change their behavior.

**What happened?**

On a hosted instance, sandbox exports were slow for a few hours. A
harness-state save timed out after about 5.5 minutes in 27 runs, and
worker copy-back attempts took 2 to 34 minutes each. Eleven native runs
then waited in `retryable_failure` (or `workspace_finalizing` with an
expired lease) for more than three hours. Each one had exactly one
copy-back attempt and no retry. The worker's operation receipts show its
attempts ran strictly one after another. After each restart, the worker
first took the copy-backs that the restart interrupted. They have no
`nextAttemptAt`, so their deadline was `0`. The server restarted every
30 to 40 minutes, so the overdue retries never ran. One stuck run held a
task whose user had answered a question card. The answer's wake stayed
queued for the same three hours.

**Expected behavior**

A slow copy-back for one task does not delay due copy-backs for other
tasks. Due work runs oldest first. New work without a saved retry time
does not go ahead of older due retries.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create two native runs with accepted results on different tasks. Put
both in `retryable_failure` with an overdue `nextAttemptAt`. The first
is older.
2. Make the copy-back for the older run block.
3. Start the worker. On `master` the second task's copy-back never runs
while the first one blocks.

The new worker test runs these steps against PostgreSQL.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `69dea878c0b`.

**Deployment mode**

Any server with native runs that use remote sandbox workspaces.

## What Changed

-
`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-workspace-finalization-work.ts`:
- Remove `batchSize: 1`. Add `concurrentChecks: { limit: 4 }` keyed by
`issue:<company>:<issue>`. Runs that share a task keep their copy-backs
serialized. Ownership is still checked per run by the existing advisory
lock and owner receipt.
- Work without a saved retry time uses the coordinator's `updatedAt` as
its deadline, not `0`. The value is clamped to now, because the database
clock can be slightly ahead of the process clock. Saved retry times and
lease expiry behave as before.
- `doc/native-workspace-finalization-recovery.md`: one paragraph on
worker concurrency and ordering.

## Verification

- Failing first: "retries another task while an older copy-back is still
running". On `master` the second task's copy-back never ran while the
older one blocked (the test timed out after 15 s). Now the second task
finalizes while the first is still blocked. After release, the first one
also finalizes.
- Failing first: "orders work without a saved retry behind older overdue
retries". On `master` the interrupted copy-back had deadline `0` and
sorted first. Now it sorts after the older overdue retry, and its
deadline is not in the future.
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/native-workspace-finalization-work.test.ts
src/__tests__/scoped-deadline-work.test.ts
src/__tests__/server-startup-feedback-export.test.ts`: 3 files, 159
passed. After rebasing onto `69dea878c0b`, the first two files: 38
passed.
- `cd server && npx tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json`: pass.
- Not verified: the worker on a live instance under slow exports. The
diagnosis comes from that instance's operation receipts and run events.

## Risks

- Up to four copy-backs can now run at once on one server. Each one uses
its own dedicated database connection and sandbox transfer. Live runs
already finalize in parallel, so this is within the existing load
pattern.
- The batch size is now the default (25). A pass ends when its slowest
check ends, but the other lanes keep processing the rest of the batch.
- `updatedAt` changes on any coordinator write. A pending entry with new
writes moves later in the order, but it stays due.
- No schema migration.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) through Claude Code, with tool use
(shell, file edits, test runs, read-only database and log queries). The
runtime does not expose the context window or reasoning configuration.

7d1e9b3477 fix(recovery): retain exact warm native export sources (#17916)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native task recovery must save unfinished workspace exports before
continuation.
> - A prepared export can still refer to a sandbox with a warm reuse
policy.
> - The strict recovery inspector rejects that policy and exhausts
source verification.
> - Ordinary reuse must not give the same unfinished allocation to
another run.
> - An existing user Retry can authorize bounded file maintenance after
exact ownership checks.
> - This change retains that exact source and preserves the original
failure record.
> - Recovery completes only when files, stop evidence and policy
settlement agree.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A failed native run has a prepared `keep_running` workspace export. Its
exact sandbox lease still has `reuse_by_environment` policy. Native
export cleanup can preserve that policy while it stops the sandbox.
Generic workspace recovery then rejects the source with
`lease_policy_not_retained`. A saved user Retry remains blocked before
file export.

**Expected behavior**

Keep unfinished exports out of ordinary warm reuse. With current user
authority and an unchanged saved Retry, retain the exact source for one
bounded maintenance generation. Preserve files and return continuation
to normal admission. Keep all ambiguous sources held.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Prepare a native workspace export with a warm sandbox and
`keep_running` disposition.
2. Save a normal board Retry for the failed source run.
3. Persist its first exhausted source-verification failure before file
export.
4. Run the normal maintenance worker. Before this change, source policy
rejection leaves the saved files unrestored.

Refs #17773 for source diagnostics. Related #17839 records a missing
preservation obligation during blocked restart. This change handles an
existing prepared warm export whose verification already failed.

## What Changed

- Exclude unfinished physical allocations from reuse and obsolete-lease
cleanup across every historical lease row. Reuse a clean candidate or
acquire a fresh sandbox through normal selection. Preserve exact
same-run reattachment, workspace-less execution and ordinary task
admission checks.
- Preserve the newer prepared remote-workspace writer proof for native
and legacy runs. Share its binding check between single-source recovery
and one batched allocation read.
- Keep persisted recovery-action IDs when constructing continuation
source checks. Synthetic sources cannot grant snapshot receipt
authority.
- Permit one audited maintenance adoption for the first exhausted
source-verification attempt. Require an unadmitted canonical saved board
Retry, current user authority, unchanged assignment and latest source
run.
- Keep all company, source, allocation, workspace writer, controller and
physical finalization ownership checks. The public read-only inspector
keeps its strict policy check.
- Pin the exact source for file maintenance. Preserve the previous
generation and reuse the existing bounded recovery worker. Create no
provider turn or new user request.
- Restore the warm policy in the same transaction as verified native
copyback completion. A failed write or changed settlement keeps a
recovery obligation.
- When local merge metadata is missing, settle the exact verified
snapshot while keeping its unfinished allocation retained. Deliver the
saved Retry through normal fresh isolation and attach the verified
files. Keep the accepted result as history.
- Require native copyback proof before reopening an accepted result's
original workspace finalizer.
- Validate snapshot receipts through one shared boundary for warm,
retained and ephemeral sources. Bind the receipt to the current
generation's operation IDs, company, issue, run, recovery action, lease
and provider allocation.
- Retire fixture input before removing recovery proof, and use the same
configured heartbeat for HTTP and worker dispatch. Keep the exact
catalog refusal and no-provider-work assertions.
- Document the recovery contract in technical documentation. Leave
capability maps unchanged for this bug fix.

## Verification

- Candidate-selection RED: all six clean-candidate and fresh-allocation
controls fail on unchanged `f54e7baf538` because a pending export aborts
the whole acquisition. GREEN: the focused suite passes **15/15 cases**
after candidate filtering. Both provider paths preserve the protected
lease and never resume or destroy its allocation. Obsolete fingerprints
cannot send that allocation to cleanup. Historical-row fencing, modern
native/legacy writers, exact same-run reuse, workspace-less execution
and the single-read allocation-history check remain covered.
- The existing reusable-runtime selection cases passed **40/40**.
Driver/capability contract suites passed **5/5**. Reusable service
controls passed **2/2**. After merging current master, the combined
lease/provider suites pass 61 cases and the recovery integration
selection passes 36 cases, including the upstream inherited-session and
resolved-interruption assertions. This gives 97 passing targeted cases
on the final source. A duplicate test-app declaration from the automatic
merge was removed while retaining the upstream assertions.
- The source-history repair has meaningful red/green evidence: three
valid retired-handoff cases could not complete under the old blanket
history-row rejection. Settlement now uses the same full source
inspector as adoption. It accepts exact retired handoffs and still
rejects a predecessor that becomes active after export. The 26 focused
history, rollback, snapshot and ambiguity cases passed before this last
merge.
- Server typecheck passes on the final merged source. Module boundaries
and `git diff --check` pass. Full local repository tests and a
successful current-head full build are not claimed. Current-head CI is
complete on `0ef974d76483e11fb0b0304bcb05bbd3b56e2ef9`: both required
gates pass, with 54 successful checks, three expected skips, one neutral
Paperclip review check and a successful security status. [Full CI
evidence](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41904339370).
Greptile reviewed that exact head at **5/5** with no actionable
findings. Its check completed successfully. [Ponytail also reviewed the
exact head at
5/5](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/17916#issuecomment-6640083408).
No review threads remain unresolved, and the branch is mergeable.
- Earlier local broad runs exposed a dropped recovery-action ID in the
merged source projection and deferred test input being revisited after
its records were removed. Both were repaired. Later local disk
exhaustion caused manifest and saved-file reserve failures; generated
caches were removed only from these checkouts. The affected saved-file
control passed unchanged after cleanup. The original logs are retained.
No disk reserve or timeout was lowered.
- On the prior head, the first [full CI
attempt](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41899038530)
received simultaneous runner shutdowns. Four jobs were cancelled, and
two late jobs have lost-runner annotations with unavailable logs. The
Runner job had five earlier ACPX failures whose full assertion report
was lost on interruption. Their cause remains unproven. Identical Runner
source passed the [#19004
control](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41898305521/job/126814429725),
including all seven enabled tests in that file.
- That attempt's [browser
shard](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41899038530/job/126817404595)
returned to the exact saved task URL, but its conversation was still
loading at the unchanged heading deadline. The
[artifact](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41899038530/artifacts/13358840931)
is retained. All five Cloud-auth cases passed locally on the unchanged
head and in the [same-source CI
control](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41898305521/job/126814429966).
The delay remains unexplained. One rerun of failed/interrupted jobs was
submitted after the workflow completed. This new source revision
requires fresh CI.
- The earlier [original-head
workflow](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40552228175)
passed all 48 jobs, and prior head `f54e7baf538` received Greptile 5/5.
These results do not establish readiness for the new head. The earlier
Superagent scan was neutral after a pinned-base checkout failure; its
external analysis remains unverified.
- These tests use real PostgreSQL and controlled provider boundaries.
Hosted rollout and original-task acceptance remain unverified.


## Risks

- Maintenance can resume and stop the exact sandbox for file export. It
cannot admit a provider turn, choose another allocation or bypass normal
continuation gates.
- A saved Retry alone is insufficient. A changed source, newer run,
active writer, competing lease, lost user authority or previous adoption
keeps the hold.
- Policy restoration can fail. Completion and restoration now commit
together, so normal recovery remains responsible for a retry.
- Snapshot preservation cannot repair missing local merge metadata. Its
old allocation remains explicitly retained. A snapshot receipt grants no
permission to reuse or destroy that allocation, or to replay the
accepted result.
- The allocation check uses one projected join per candidate over the
existing provider lease index. It adds no polling timer or recurring
scan. A fresh fallback can create another sandbox while the unfinished
source remains retained; it grants no authority to execute a provider
turn.
- This change does not establish the cause of a prior provider failure
or prove that any specific hosted sandbox still contains its original
files.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, for the original change. OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol
(`gpt-6.1-sol`), xhigh reasoning, for the merge and integration repairs.
Both used repository tools and PostgreSQL verification.

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 0173110ee3 fix(native): point failed run attachments at the docs (#19052)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - When a later run cannot attach to a native session, the run fails,
and a later run may start a new provider thread.
> - The first failure is easy to miss. In 5 of 11 cases on a test
deployment, the run ended with a different error before it reported the
attach failure.
> - People and agents who diagnose a failed run look at its log and
events, so that is where an explanation is useful.
> - This pull request adds a pointer there at the first failure, with
the real cause and a link to the docs.
> - The benefit is that a failed attach explains itself, and readers can
find the open follow-up in #19047.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19047. I searched open and closed pull requests and issues for
`prior_attach_failed` and related terms, and found no duplicate.

## What Changed

- **Log:** `executeHeartbeatRuntime` writes one stderr line to the run
log when a same-run retry follows a failed `run.attach`.
- **Events:** `heartbeat.ts` adds a `lifecycle` event with the same
message and the code `native_run_attach_failed`, using the stored
redacted failure.
- **Helper:** `describeFailedAttachment` extracts the real cause and
returns nothing for other failures.
- **Docs:** "Session settlement after a run" in
`doc/execution-semantics.md` now explains this and links #19047.
- **Link target:** the pointer links to the repo docs and not the issue.
Agents read these logs, and anyone can comment on a public issue.
- **Unchanged:** error codes and retry behavior.

## Verification

- `cd server && pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/heartbeat/runtime-execution.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/remote-warm-session-recovery.test.ts`: 57
passed.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p .` in `server` reports no errors.
- New tests cover the log line at the throw site, and the helper's
output for attach failures and other failures.
- **Not covered:** the new event in `heartbeat.ts` has no test of its
own. It uses the tested helper.
- **Not verified:** I have not confirmed that agents read this log when
they diagnose a failure.
- **Not run locally:** the full test suite. CI provides that coverage.

## Risks

- **Failure text in the log:** when the failure has no structured
message, the log line includes the whole failure string. It passes
through the run log's identity redaction. The event uses the stored
failure that the executor already redacted.
- **Link stability:** the link depends on the docs heading. Renaming
that heading would break the anchor but not the page link.
- **Migrations:** this change has no migration.

> For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and
discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap
with planned core work may need to be reworked.

## Model Used

- Anthropic Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), through Claude Code,
with tool use and code execution. A human directed the design and
approved the scope.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 86afc2048b fix(native): admit follow-ups after an owner finished in this process (#19071)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native Runner per-turn sessions in a remote sandbox keep one
conversation across task turns.
> - Before a follow-up starts a new Runner, it must prove that the
previous owner's controller stopped. #18846 added a retirement path for
this proof.
> - The native controller runs inside the webserver process. Thus the
owner's recorded controller PID is the PID of the webserver.
> - When the same server process serves the follow-up, that PID is alive
and has the same start time. The proof reads this as "controller still
alive" and refuses. The follow-up then fails with
`runner_state_identity_mismatch:
prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate`. This continues until a deploy
replaces the process.
> - This pull request uses the controller's per-process boot identity to
recognize that this process recorded the owner. The process then uses
its own session registry to prove that the owner's controller stopped.
> - The benefit is that follow-ups on a long-lived server no longer fail
before provider work. All other ownership fences stay as they are.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18846 (retirement of recovered per-turn owners). Refs #19061
(names the refused retirement proof). The two changes are compatible.
Whichever merges second needs a small rebase in
`retireFinishedPerTurnRunnerdOwner`.

**What happened?**

On a test deployment, 17 runs over 14 tasks failed before provider work
with `runner_state_identity_mismatch:
prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate`. Each run had a per-turn
lifecycle in a Daytona sandbox and got a new sandbox. In each inspected
case, the previous run on the task succeeded and committed its result.
Its run profile had no `nativeControllerRecovery` pointer. Without that
pointer, `evaluateNativeControllerTakeover` is not lease-fenced, so it
uses process liveness. The recorded `controllerPid` is `process.pid` of
the webserver. When the follow-up is served in the same process,
`process.kill(pid, 0)` succeeds and the start time matches. The result
is `controller_still_alive`, and retirement refuses.

**Expected behavior**

A committed owner that this server process finished, released, and no
longer runs is proven stopped. The follow-up then starts a new Runner,
as #18846 intended.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Seed a per-turn sandbox owner that committed its result and released
its lease. Record this process's controller identity
(`currentNativeControllerIdentity()`) as the owner.
2. Keep the owner's file-backed journal in the local session root, and
remove the database recovery pointer.
3. Admit a follow-up in a new sandbox.
4. Before this change, admission fails with
`prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate`.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Observed on `e107a75755`. The same code is on `master`.

## What Changed

- `native-restart-recovery.ts`: add
`isCurrentNativeControllerProcess(owner)`. It is true only when the
owner's `controllerBootId` is this process's per-start boot UUID and
`controllerPid === process.pid`. A recycled PID or another container
never matches.
- `retireFinishedPerTurnRunnerdOwner`: when the owner was finished in
this process and no `activeNativeSessions` or `nativeSessionStartups`
entry exists for its run, treat its controller as stopped. Otherwise,
use `evaluateNativeControllerTakeover` as before. The same in-process
check runs again just before the archive.
- All other retirement proofs are unchanged: committed result, released
lease, no recovery state, settled journal, answered tool inputs,
quarantine copies, and new or replacement sandbox.
- `native-recovered-owner-followup.test.ts`: the seed helper accepts the
owner's controller identity. New cases cover same-process admission
(with and without a recovery pointer), an exited legacy controller,
another live controller, and the same PID with a different boot
identity.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: describe the same-process
stopped-controller proof.

## Verification

- **Failure before the change:** with only the new tests applied, `cd
server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-recovered-owner-followup.test.ts`
fails 1 case: "admits a follow-up in the process that finished the
owner: local journal only". It expected admission and received
`runner_state_identity_mismatch:
prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate`, the exact error from the
deployment. The safety cases already passed on the old code.
- **After the change:** the same file passes 27 of 27.
- Adjacent suites: `native-recovered-owner-followup`,
`remote-warm-session-recovery`,
`native-runner-restart-recovery.integration`, `native-restart-recovery`,
`native-session-resume`: 210 passed, 20 skipped.
- `native-session-executor.test.ts`: 1128 passed.
- `tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json`: no errors.
- **Not verified live:** this change has not run on a deployment. Run
data came from read-only API calls only. No recovery was done on the
deployment.

## Risks

- **Second executor.** The new proof applies only when this exact
process recorded the owner, and this process has no session or startup
for that run. The database proofs still require a committed result and a
released lease. Another live controller, or the same PID with a
different boot identity, still holds the owner. Tests cover both cases.
- **Scope.** The change applies only to the per-turn retirement path.
The warm remote recovery path (`inspectRemoteWarmSessionRecovery`) is
not changed. Warm handoff in the same process uses the in-memory idle
owner instead.
- **Hypothesis limit.** The deployment API does not expose finalization
rows. Thus I inferred that the same process served each follow-up from
the evidence: no recovery pointer, a local journal present, and no other
failing proof. The local reproduction gives the exact error. #19061 can
confirm the refused fence on the deployment.

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic. Agentic coding in
Claude Code with tool use (shell, browser for read-only staging API

DottaandPaperclip 61b2455319 fix(runtime): preserve failed sources and durable checkpoint authority (#19038)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A volume-free web server must preserve retained native session data.
> - An old failed follow-up can keep its own snapshot while its
controller file still belongs to the preceding successful turn.
> - The Runner correctly refuses to import that file as the failed
turn's execution authority.
> - That refusal also blocks migration when no warm supervisor is
present.
> - This pull request preserves the file after it proves the older run's
lineage, and uses existing typed database authority when present.
> - Failed history and files survive, while normal execution authority
stays unchanged.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19024, which preserves the related older-supervisor case. The
duplicate search found no PR for this older-controller case.

**What happened?**

Offline native-controller migration stops with
`native_runner_checkpoint_binding_mismatch` for a failed retained
follow-up. The local controller still contains the preceding successful
run. A per-turn source can have no supervisor file, so the
older-supervisor archive path does not apply. Read-only checks matched
the database snapshots and controller-file hashes between the original
source and the isolated rehearsal copy.

**Expected behavior**

Preserve the available file as evidence through the existing encrypted
archive. Require a valid older controller, a completed successful prior
run, and the same company, agent, task, native session, Runner and
provider thread. Keep successful sources and active owners outside this
archival fallback. When a valid typed database checkpoint already
exists, derive only its missing recovery metadata and ignore obsolete
local projections.

**Steps to reproduce**

Create a successful native turn and a later failed follow-up in the same
session. Retain the successful controller file. Keep the failed snapshot
and admitted input in the database. Leave the per-turn source without a
supervisor. Run offline migration. The new positive regression fails
with the binding mismatch before this change.

## What Changed

- Share the scoped older-successful-run proof with the existing
supervisor preservation path.
- Validate the older controller through the Runner parser and artifact
checks before archive publication.
- Archive this failed legacy source without changing its snapshot,
status, ownership, queued work or session pointer.
- Preserve the normal refusal for foreign, changed, active, successful,
invalid and already-durable cases.
- Permit evidence archival for a stale observed coordinator only with
exact host-owned stop receipts for every remote lease, no current task
ownership, no result and no retry deadline. Recheck the proof before
publication.
- Use execution start for lifecycle ordering. A queued follow-up can
predate its prior turn completion, and a remote stop can predate a later
recovery timeout.
- Resolve destruction receipts through the existing reusable-lease
handoff verifier. Reject stopped tips, broken chains and competing tips.
- Prefer a valid typed database checkpoint over a stale or absent local
warm supervisor. Add only missing recovery metadata after current
admitted-input and checkpoint binding checks.
- Document the evidence and execution-authority boundary.

## Verification

- Positive regression: red before the owner change and green afterward.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/services/native-runtime/native-controller-migration.integration.test.ts
server/src/services/native-runtime/native-controller-recovery.integration.test.ts
server/src/services/native-runtime/native-harness-backup-storage.integration.test.ts`:
81 checks passed across migration, recovery and durable storage.
- The checks cover storage failure, repeated migration, exact file
restoration after old-home deletion, unchanged history and ownership,
and refusal to treat the archive as executable recovery authority.
- A second regression reproduced the archive fence refusal for an
observed failed source with a valid stopped-remote receipt. Negative
controls cover missing, foreign, old and revoked receipts, live leases,
pending results, retry deadlines and task ownership. Revoking the
receipt during upload prevents publication.
- Two additional regressions cover a follow-up queued before the prior
turn finished and a remote stop before a later logical failure. Both
fail with the earlier timestamp comparisons and pass with
execution-start ordering. Genuine execution overlap and old receipts
stay blocked.
- Two historical source snapshots and controller-file hashes matched in
a read-only live-versus-copy check. The first candidate reached the
archive fence and exposed the observed-coordinator case. That failure is
retained. A fresh candidate replay is required for the expanded proof.
It does not qualify the full packaged migration or hosted Railway
handoff.
- Existing typed-authority checks cover stale and missing supervisors,
repeat migration, byte-identical checkpoint rows, unchanged
snapshots/owners/history, old-home deletion and ordinary queued-turn
recovery. Foreign Runner, session and snapshot controls remain blocked.
- Handoff checks cover an exact destroyed successor, a stopped
successor, a broken proof and a competing tip.
- Isolated replay of the two retained typed-checkpoint sources imported
only derived recovery metadata. Checks confirmed unchanged checkpoint
rows (12 and 9 parts), history, snapshots, finalization owners and
task-session pointers. The replay used three source-module overlays with
a blocked provider network; it does not qualify the released bundle.
- Final-head CI attempt 1 passed typecheck, build and the migration
suites but failed one unrelated budget-concurrency assertion in
`decision-models.test.ts` (one provider call observed instead of two).
The original log is retained. The isolated local comparison cannot
classify the timing failure because this checkout has stale linked
budget schema exports. The one retry of that failed CI job passed, and
final-head CI attempt 2 is green. The original failure remains retained;
its cause is not established.
- Full local typecheck, repository tests and build are not claimed. The
server typecheck reports pre-existing linked declaration mismatches
outside the changed files; the full clean CI typecheck has passed. This
checkout uses linked generated declarations; clean CI is required before
merge. Prior head d71dc913 had passing full CI and a 5/5 Greptile
review. Head 8ff3a22109 adds the handoff and typed-authority fixes. Its
fresh full CI is green and Greptile is 5/5, with no unresolved review
threads. Earlier head7729 hit unrelated 5-second CLI ZIP and 15-second
setup-token test timeouts; those failures remain retained.

## Risks

This path preserves evidence for a source that has already failed. It
does not make that source resumable. The Runner must accept the older
controller under its own identity and artifact binding. Scoped
successful history must match its session and provider thread. The
archive owner still requires stopped writers, a finished failed run and
no live lease. An observed coordinator also needs exact remote-stop
receipts after execution started, no accepted result or retry deadline,
and no current task ownership. The coordinator stays unchanged. Existing
durable authority stays authoritative.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, exact model ID `gpt-6.1-sol`, with reasoning, tool use and
code execution. The host does not expose context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 4740d251b7 fix(onboarding): retain plan approval across follow-up decisions (#19043)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Onboarding asks a person to approve a saved plan before execution
tasks can start.
> - A person can then approve a separate proposal for the first
execution step.
> - The creation gate checks only that latest card for the plan target.
It loses the earlier approval of the unchanged plan.
> - Decomposition and native context also omit checkbox plan
confirmations.
> - This pull request validates the latest execution decision and the
latest plan decision together.
> - The benefit is that approved work can start while human, revision,
and proposal gates remain effective.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17914, #18160, and #18283. The related-PR search found no
duplicate repair.

**What happened?**

After a person accepted a checkbox plan card and a later execution
confirmation, native task creation and REST child creation returned 403.
Accepted-plan decomposition returned 422 because its lookup recognized
only standard confirmations. Native task context returned no accepted
plan for the checkbox decision.

**Expected behavior**

The latest execution proposal can use an independently approved,
unchanged plan. A pending or rejected latest proposal must still stop
execution. The current plan must retain valid human approval of its
exact revision.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Save a plan on a server-created onboarding task.
2. Create a revision-bound checkbox confirmation and accept it as a
human.
3. Create and accept a separate, untargeted confirmation for the first
execution task.
4. Create the child through the native tool or REST API.
5. Separately, try accepted-plan decomposition or read native task
context after step 2.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The workspace's registered hosted release is Core
`09c05c55050fede448196637cbaa543a154da76e`. The three regressions also
failed against local source `3cdb367369f29692b81cf19b514a2abdba90734f`.

**Deployment mode**

Hosted native Runner with ACPX Claude. Local regression proof uses
actual PostgreSQL, authenticated HTTP routes, native tool authority, and
synthetic task data on macOS arm64. No customer data or credentials are
in the fixtures.

## What Changed

- Validate the newest ordinary proposal and the newest plan proposal
separately. Keep the existing human-card and conversational provenance
checks for each.
- Require the accepted plan target to match the current document and
revision. A newer pending, rejected, invalid, or foreign plan decision
cannot fall back to an older approval.
- Share persisted confirmation parsing across admission, decomposition,
and native context. Validate checkbox selections against the saved
options and limits.
- Return `acceptedPlan.approvedOptions` with the user's saved selected
IDs and option text on later wakes, including revision-pinned context.
Keep unchecked defaults out of scope.
- Add behavioral and safety regressions. Document the approval rule.

## Verification

- Three behavioral regressions failed before the repair: child creation
returned 403, decomposition returned 422, and native context returned
`acceptedPlan: null`. All three now pass.
- Two scope-retention regressions failed before the review fix: native
context omitted the selected option after a later approval, with and
without a pinned plan revision. Both now pass. Unchecked defaults stay
excluded.
- Current admission, native-tool, and accepted-confirmation replay
suites: 131 tests passed. Existing first-task completion safety checks:
17 passed, including the atomic decision recheck.
- Safety cases cover missing and rejected plan approval, agent-only
decisions, foreign source runs, changed revisions, invalid checkbox
selections, newer pending or rejected proposals, and task-creation
replay.
- Full repository `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed locally on
final head `7c0e8ab784`.
- [Full final-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41911580531)
passed: all Vitest shards, Runner checks, eight browser E2E shards,
build, release registry, and canary dry run. The required `verify` and
`e2e` aggregates passed. Storybook checks were skipped for this backend
change; the file-selection job was skipped because full CI ran.
- Earlier local typecheck attempts exposed Copilot verification during
build preparation, stale declarations across the rebase, and two
test-fixture typing errors. The assets were verified, declarations
rebuilt, and fixtures corrected before the complete final-head pass.
- Full local Vitest attempts were interrupted for the rebase and review
repair. The duplicate final local run was stopped after full Linux CI
passed. No complete macOS Vitest-suite pass is claimed.
- A fresh Claude-provider acceptance run remains unverified: the local
Claude account is signed out and no Anthropic API credential is
available. The actual native tool and HTTP paths are verified with real
PostgreSQL persistence. This PR does not deploy or recover the reported
production task.
- Greptile: 5/5 on `7c0e8ab784`, with the review thread resolved.

## Risks

A later acceptance must not revive rejected or changed scope. Admission
validates both current decisions and retains source, company, human
provenance, and document locks. The extra plan-proposal lookup is
bounded and limited to accepted, untargeted first-task proposals.
Ordinary delegation adds no new proof lookup. The native context adds an
optional `approvedOptions` projection. Revision-pinned context now
performs the existing scoped approval read to recover that selection. No
database schema, request, provider, or background worker changes are
included.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, exact model `gpt-6.1-sol`, max reasoning effort, with
repository, shell, browser, and GitHub tools. The current session
metadata confirms the model and effort. The context window size is not
exposed.

DottaandPaperclip 8a0e7ab511 fix(runner): preserve ordinary append for unscoped governed terminals (#19044)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages work done by AI agents.
> - A native turn can park on a saved human question or approval.
> - Its terminal event can return a committed receipt before observers
finish.
> - That option requires an explicit turn ID at the event port.
> - The protocol also permits events without a turn ID.
> - The runner requested the option for those events, which the port
rejected.
> - This change keeps those events on the ordinary append path.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #19025.

**What happened?**

The native governed-wait observation can accept a schema-valid
`item.completed` without a turn ID. If the later terminal also has no
turn ID, the runner compares two absent IDs and requests
`deferPostCommitObservers`. The event port rejects that option. The run
then fails with `governed_wait_provider_terminal_unproven`.

**Expected behavior**

Only a terminal with an explicit turn ID can request the early receipt.
An unscoped terminal must keep the ordinary append behavior and await
its observers. The event port must retain its turn identity check.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a pending human-only interaction from the run.
2. Pass a schema-valid completed tool event without a turn ID through
the real governed-wait observation.
3. Supply an interrupted terminal without a turn ID during the
cancellation drain.
4. Run the actual native runtime with the PostgreSQL event port. The
parent code rejects the deferral request and reports a failed terminal.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `4ea53f9eb5a24de10db3dfda18456132987c4af8`. The follow-up
was identified by a review published after #19025 merged. No observed
provider emission or original-task recovery is claimed. I checked
current master and related PRs before this correction.

**Deployment mode**

Built from source. The regression uses real PostgreSQL and a
deterministic provider boundary; it makes no model call.

## What Changed

- Require a truthy terminal turn ID before the runner requests deferred
observers.
- Keep ordinary append behavior, the port identity check and all
timeouts unchanged.
- Exercise the production governed-wait observation with a persisted
pending interaction and the real event port.
- Retain exact-turn observer and checkpoint controls. Add a direct
rejection control for unscoped deferral.
- Document that unscoped terminals await their observers.

## Verification

- First meaningful red: the actual observation, native runtime and
PostgreSQL port fail on the unmodified parent runtime. The new case
reports `NativeProviderTerminalFailure` in 143ms; this is not a setup or
deadline failure.
- Focused regression and authority controls: 12 passed, 69 filtered.
Full runtime suite: 203 passed. Full PostgreSQL port and timing suites:
84 passed.
- The tests leave the human-only interaction pending with continuation
policy `none`, accept one result, and start only one turn. Existing
scope, invalid evidence, checkpoint, abort, duplicate and restart
controls remain.
- Exact candidate: `8840ea2c9c308e5a60423e67fb3612d24029ba84`.
Repository-wide `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build` and `pnpm
check:module-boundaries` passed on this exact head. `pnpm test:run` is
still in progress and is not reported as passing. Current-head CI
passed: 55 success, 3 skipped and 1 neutral, including required `ci /
verify` and `ci / e2e`. Greptile and Ponytail both reviewed this exact
head at 5/5 with no blocking findings. The native review was
source-only. No unresolved review threads remain.
- No UI, database schema, agent permission or mapped user entry point
changes. No deployment, live retry or provider replay was performed.

## Risks

Unscoped terminals retain the existing observer wait and can still fail
if it exceeds the existing drain deadline. They do not gain an early
receipt. The change does not supply a missing turn ID or weaken source,
company, run, session, cancellation or transaction checks. A PRP
terminal is not physical-stop or accounting-completion proof.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol`, with code and shell tools. The host does not
expose the reasoning mode or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 22735cfcea fix(native): preserve governed terminal receipts during observer settlement (#19025)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages work done by AI agents.
> - A native turn can yield to a saved human question or approval.
> - The provider must stop, and its terminal event must be saved.
> - The old drain waits for both the event transaction and its later
observers.
> - A slow observer can make a saved terminal look unproved.
> - This change separates the committed receipt from owned observer
work.
> - Checkpoint and result acceptance still wait for that work to settle.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A native governed wait can fail with
`governed_wait_provider_terminal_unproven` after its exact interrupted
terminal is already in PostgreSQL. The event port waits for postcommit
accounting, output and projection callbacks before it returns the
receipt. Those callbacks can cross the provider drain deadline.

**What did you expect to happen?**

A committed terminal proves the event transaction. Its observers remain
separate work. A checkpoint or result must not be accepted until those
observers settle. A pending human-only question must keep its audience
and continuation policy.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the real PostgreSQL control-plane regression. Commit a same-turn
interrupted terminal. Hold its postcommit observer beyond the existing
provider drain. The parent code reports an unproved provider terminal.
The fixed code retains the committed receipt and joins the observer
before checkpoint or result acceptance.

No overlapping repair was found in the current master or open-PR search.
Related [#18977](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18977)
covers final conversation-response selection. It does not change this
receipt boundary. The source reproduction is consistent with the
observed failure. The exact hosted provider code is unavailable, so it
does not prove that every observed failure used this branch.

## What Changed

- Add an explicit terminal-only option to the internal event port.
Ordinary appends keep their existing behavior.
- Return that receipt only after the normal transaction and company,
agent, run, session, source and revocation checks.
- Retain the full observer promise. Join it before checkpoint and result
writes. Keep its original rejection and observe it after an aborted
join.
- Reuse the existing provider drain and checkpoint deadlines. Preserve
duplicate and restart replay without another model turn.
- Document the receipt and duplicate-observer replay boundaries. Keep
human-only and no-continuation cards unchanged.
- Assert the actual Codex facade requests deferral only for its
interrupted terminal. Isolate empty skill inventory in monitor-only
process fixtures while retaining their real scheduler, lifecycle,
selection snapshot and three-second deadline.

## Verification

- Meaningful parent red: actual native runtime and real PostgreSQL event
port. The terminal row commits, but a held observer causes
`NativeProviderTerminalFailure` with
`governed_wait_provider_terminal_unproven`.
- Current candidate `0db24ae74ee42fdf92035d8407fc095e9f73cc6a`: full
runtime suite, 203 passed. Real PostgreSQL control-plane, timing and
monitor suites, 103 passed. Runner TypeScript and full layered server
typechecks passed on the unchanged candidate source tree. The controls
cover uncommitted and foreign evidence, explicit false and failed
terminals, held and rejecting observers, abort and controller
revocation, duplicate receipts, and new-port recovery. The real pending
human-only card stays unanswered with continuation policy `none`.
Recovery does not call `startTurn` again.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`, the production server build (including the real
Runner release binary), module boundaries and vendor dependency
verification passed on `6d75`; the follow-up changes only tests and
documentation. Diff checks pass on the current candidate. The prior
`399ad3dc2b` repository-wide `test:run` was stopped as obsolete during
the general-server phase after preserving its progress (exit 130,
incomplete); its repository build was not reached. Its six completed
chat shards passed 1,904 cases, but this is prior-head evidence and not
a full-suite pass. Full current-head CI is required before merge.
- CI attempt 1 on `6d75` failed one real three-second monitor-settlement
assertion; the aggregate verify gate consequently failed. Other jobs
passed. The actual CI merge tree was
`3037bf6db162da3b0a9172046360401f8449ebc5` (`6d75` into `89703c3`). An
unchanged full-file replay reproduced three timeouts. Original-deadline
inspection found the legacy process still preparing; local phase timing
measured cold skill inventory at 6.629 seconds. The original CI did not
retain that phase detail, so its exact subcause remains unproved. The
fixture correction supplies empty skill entries for these skill-free
process tests and still invokes the selection-snapshot callback. It
preserves all assertions and the three-second deadline, with no new
drain wait. All 21 cases pass; deliberately restoring the old
blocked-status rejection still fails the real blocked-check case with
409. No CI retry was issued.
- The prior current-head native review was 4/5 with no production
correctness finding. Its requested direct facade-options assertion and
duplicate-observer wording correction are included. Current-head CI is
green (55 success, 3 skipped), including required verify and E2E;
current-head Greptile is 5/5 with no actionable findings. The old native
advisory remains tied to `6d75`, and its requested findings are
addressed. No new native assessment is claimed or required by
protection.
- The first draft broke three existing transaction-start timing
controls. The no-debt path now keeps the original synchronous start, and
all three pass. Two draft type errors were corrected. A further real-PG
red found an extra default-append assertion after commit. Removing it
restores the original committed receipt after a late abort; the same
aborted signal still cannot write a checkpoint or result. Original setup
and assertion failures remain in private verification receipts.
- Normal merge of current master
`3a2249dd5768313f04b2aa3860dfd363492eda16` has no conflicts. The
affected production source blobs did not change in that baseline merge.
- Local proof uses Node 24.22.2 on Darwin arm64, a real PostgreSQL
instance and deterministic provider-boundary fixtures. It makes no model
call. No deployed replay or original-task recovery is claimed.

## Risks

Deferred observers must remain owned. A missed join could accept
incomplete accounting or output. A rejected or stalled observer must
prevent acceptance, and an abort must prevent late checkpoint/result
writes. The tests exercise these boundaries. The port keeps the existing
best-effort trace-publication handling. This change does not turn a PRP
terminal into physical-stop or accounting-completion proof.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol`, with code and shell tools. The host does not
expose the reasoning mode or context-window size.

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 e107a75755 fix(native): decide session settlement from live state (#18992)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native Runner sessions keep one provider conversation across task
turns, so a later run attaches to a session that an earlier run settled.
> - Three gates decide if a session is settled: Core's journal check,
the Runner's attach check, and the Runner's drain of provider messages
after a turn.
> - Each gate kept a list of harmless events and refused anything else.
Every new harmless event became an outage.
> - An example: Codex replays a settled turn's usage on `thread/resume`,
so `run.attach` refused every session that restarted after its idle
timeout.
> - Events after a terminal describe the past. Refusing the session
cannot undo them, and it hides them.
> - This pull request asks a different question: is anything live or
waiting right now? Past events are recorded and no longer block.
> - The benefit is that harmless events stop breaking session
continuity, with no event list for Core and the Runner to keep in step.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No issue exists. I searched open and closed pull requests and issues for
`run.attach requires a settled Codex provider session` and
`prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate`. Related work: #18890 added
one more accepted event to Core's list. This change replaces that list.
#18991 handles late usage and is independent of this change.

**What happened?**

On a test deployment, 11 runs failed in 21 days when `run.attach`
refused with `requires a settled Codex provider session with no pending
events`. In all 11, the four pending events were two startup audit
events, `session.resumed`, and a `codex_resume_usage_snapshot`
diagnostic. The diagnostic is what the attach check refused. The retry
then failed with `prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate` in 6 of
them, which hid the first failure.

**Expected behavior**

A session with nothing live or waiting accepts the next run. If
attachment fails, the run reports the real cause.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Finish a Codex turn on a native Runner session.
2. Wait for the idle timeout so that the provider process stops.
3. Start the next run. Codex replays the usage for the settled turn on
`thread/resume`.
4. The attach fails.
`durable_backend_attaches_after_a_settled_resume_usage_snapshot`
reproduces this on the unfixed code.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Observed on `8fd917aedf`. The same check is on `master` before this
change.

**Deployment mode**

Cloud deployment, with a native Runner in a plugin sandbox environment.

## What Changed

- **Runner attach:** `attach_run` refuses only for live or waiting
state: no thread, a closed session, a session that needs reconciliation,
an active or ambiguous turn, an active goal, a pending tool call, or an
unanswered provider request. The error now names the reason.
- **Pending events:** they no longer block attachment. They stay in the
retained queue, and the Runner commits them under the prior authority
before it rotates. `session.resumed` is still discarded because it is
superseded.
- **Runner drain:** `drain_completed_turn_tail_for_warm_attachment` no
longer needs a list of known messages. It still fails on a message that
names another turn, on `turn/started`, on a provider request, and on a
process exit.
- **Core:** `isSettledRemoteWarmControlState` accepts any authenticated
event after the terminal unless it starts work (`turn.started`,
`turn.accepted`, `run.attached`, `tool.execution.started`,
`semantic_tool.input`, `runtime_request.created`), or a goal snapshot or
update shows an active goal or work in progress. All identity, source
and protocol checks are unchanged.
- **Visibility:** the next run's log names the event types that were
recorded after the previous run finished.
- **Real cause:** a same-run retry after a failed attachment now fails
with `prior_attach_failed: <original failure>`, instead of
`prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate`.
- **Docs:** added "Session settlement after a run" to
`doc/execution-semantics.md`.

## Verification

- `cd packages/paperclip-runner/runner && cargo test --locked -p
paperclip-runner-core --test codex_provider`: 102 passed, 2 ignored.
`--lib`: 478 passed, 2 ignored. `--test durable_recovery`: 3 passed.
- **Failure before the fix:**
`durable_backend_attaches_after_a_settled_resume_usage_snapshot` failed
on the unfixed code with the same error as production.
- `cd server && pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/remote-warm-session-recovery.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts -t "settled
remote warm control evidence|recovers a blocked|automatically recovers
only a proven settled local session|retained|warm"`: 476 passed, 680
skipped by the filter.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-resume.test.ts`: 57 passed.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p .` in `server` reports no errors.
- **Real data, read-only:** I decrypted the 11 failed runs' stored
events on a test deployment and printed only event types, field names,
and thread and turn IDs. All 11 show the same four events.
- **Audit of live state:** I read the Runner's provider state and
request tracking to build the attach check. It is a code audit. I have
not proved that every kind of live work sets a flag. The Runner holds
active turns, ambiguous starts, tool calls and provider requests in
state today.
- **Not covered:** the wiring that throws `prior_attach_failed` has unit
coverage for its message only, not an end-to-end test.
- **Review:** Greptile Apex scored 4/5, then 5/5 at the current head.
- **Not run locally:** the full test suite. CI provides that coverage.
- **Not verified live:** no live run has used this change.

## Risks

- **Fail-open for unknown live work:** an event type that starts work,
but is not in the short list and sets no state flag, would now pass.
This is the main tradeoff. The previous list failed closed, but it
caused real outages.
- **More events reach the journal after a terminal.** The usage replay
diagnostic is now delivered rather than refused. These events are
informational, and they are named in the next run's log.
- **A failed attachment is not retried on the same run.** Some refusals
could clear on their own, such as a turn that finishes, and some attach
errors are not about live work, such as a failed provider restore. The
run now reports the cause, and it needs another run to continue. On a
test deployment, the next successful run after each failure used a new
provider thread and a new execution workspace. A later change could add
same-run retry.
- **Rollout order:** deploy Core before the Runner. An older Core would
refuse the new events that a new Runner commits after a terminal.
- **Migrations:** this change has no migration.

> For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and
discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap
with planned core work may need to be reworked.

DottaandPaperclip 3a283fbc9b fix(runtime): preserve failed sources with older warm supervisors (#19024)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A volume-free web server needs durable recovery data for retained
sessions.
> - An old failed follow-up can retain its snapshot while the warm
supervisor still holds the preceding successful turn.
> - The migration refuses to treat those different snapshots as the same
execution authority.
> - That refusal also blocks the tenant even when the failed source can
be preserved as an archive.
> - This pull request archives that narrow case after it verifies the
older successful snapshot and all scope bindings.
> - The failed run keeps its history and files while valid controller
recovery keeps its existing proof requirements.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18959, which added the existing failed-controller archive path. No
duplicate PR for this case was found.

**What happened?**

Offline controller migration stops with `stale_supervisor_snapshot` for
an old failed warm follow-up. Its local supervisor still contains the
prior successful turn. Read-only checks found the same database snapshot
and supervisor bytes in the live source and the isolated copy. The
mismatch predates the rehearsal.

**Expected behavior**

Preserve the failed run's database state and available local files in
the existing durable archive. Only archive when the older supervisor
matches a completed successful run in the same company, agent, task,
native session and Runner instance. Keep current execution and
controller authority checks intact.

**Steps to reproduce**

Create a successful native turn and a later failed warm follow-up. Keep
the successful snapshot in the supervisor file and the failed snapshot
in the database. Give the failed source local controller bytes but no
durable controller checkpoint. Run the offline migration. The new
regression fails with `stale_supervisor_snapshot` before this change.

## What Changed

- Verify the older supervisor against scoped successful history and the
same provider thread.
- Use the existing encrypted archive owner for that failed legacy
source.
- Preserve snapshots, run status, ownership, queued work and the
session's last-run pointer.
- Keep foreign, changed, active, successful and already-durable sources
outside this path.
- Document the preservation and recovery boundary.

## Verification

- New positive regression: red on the original owner, green after the
change.
- Native migration and controller recovery: 27 checks passed. Final
migration checks also cover refusal to replace a durable checkpoint.
- Storage failure blocks publication. Repeated migration is safe. The
archive restores the exact controller and supervisor bytes after the old
home is deleted.
- The archived failed source does not gain executable recovery
authority.
- Local server typecheck is blocked by reused workspace declarations for
accounting, bootstrap and ingress contracts. No diagnostic names either
modified owner or test file. Full local typecheck, repo-wide tests and
build are not claimed; clean CI is required before merge. The exact-head
CI has now passed typecheck, build, policy, Runner checks, browser E2E,
and all server test shards.
- Rehearsal verification against the copied historical source remains
required. Full tenant migration and hosted deployment qualification
remain separate gates.

## Risks

The archive preserves evidence for an already failed source. It does not
certify that source as resumable. A prior snapshot must match exactly,
and the normal archive owner checks the terminal failed binding before
it publishes. Existing durable checkpoints remain authoritative. A
missing or changed proof still blocks migration.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, exact model ID `gpt-6.1-sol`, with reasoning, tool use and
code execution. The host does not expose context-window size.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip cf0ab4f7f4 chore: enable boxd plugin release publishing (#19020)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Sandbox provider plugins let those agents run in remote
environments.
> - The boxd provider exists, but its release entry excludes it from CI
publishing.
> - npm now has the `@paperclipai/plugin-boxd@0.0.0` bootstrap
placeholder.
> - This pull request enables CI publishing and documents npm
installation.
> - A pre-existing OpenCode fixture blocked CI because it qualified a
group-writable host Node binary.
> - This also gives that test its own Linux Node copy with strict
permissions.
> - Operators can install a real release after CI publishes it.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related implementation:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/17284.
No matching public issue or duplicate release-enrollment PR was found.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Publishing and installing the existing boxd sandbox provider.

**Subsystem affected**

`packages/plugins` and the npm release manifest.

**Current behavior**

`publishFromCi` is false. npm has only the `0.0.0` placeholder. The
README says the package is not published and requires a local-path
install.

**Proposed behavior**

Include boxd in CI releases. Document stable installation, explicit
published versions, and the placeholder limit.

**Reason and benefit**

Operators can install the provider through the existing npm plugin
installer after a real release ships.

**Breaking changes**

None. This changes release enrollment and documentation only.

**Additional context**

This follows the existing plugin and sandbox roadmap items. It adds no
new runtime capability.

## What Changed

- Set `publishFromCi: true` for `@paperclipai/plugin-boxd` in the
release manifest.
- Replace the README's unpublished-package notice with npm installation
guidance.
- Explain that the `0.0.0` placeholder has no plugin functionality and
that `latest` can point to it until the first stable release.
- Keep the local development instructions available.
- Fix the existing ingress-retry test to use an owned Linux Node copy
and explicit executable permissions. This follows the existing OpenCode
transport fixture. It does not change production launch checks.

## Verification

- Passed: `node --test scripts/release-package-map.test.mjs
scripts/check-release-package-bootstrap.test.mjs
scripts/bootstrap-npm-package.test.mjs` (31 tests).
- Passed: `node scripts/release-package-map.mjs check`.
- Passed: `PAPERCLIP_RELEASE_BOOTSTRAP_BASE_SHA=origin/master node
scripts/check-release-package-bootstrap.mjs
scripts/release-package-manifest.json
packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/boxd/README.md`.
- Passed: `git diff --check`.
- Confirmed that npm resolves `@paperclipai/plugin-boxd` to version
`0.0.0`.
- Full workspace typecheck, test suite, and build were not run locally.
CI checks remain required before merge.
- Initial CI failure: [native Runner
job](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41889969053/job/126785636239),
OpenCode ingress retry, `qualified OpenCode proxy command must not be
group- or world-writable`. The failing fixture is byte-identical to the
base commit `3a2249dd576`. It passed `process.execPath` to
qualification, while other OpenCode tests already use a private Linux
Node copy.
- Local focused run: `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/services/native-runtime/native-ingress-bootstrap-retry.integration.test.ts`
built the real Rust Runner and passed the Codex case. The OpenCode case
stopped at `runner_remote_provider_artifact_incompatible: OpenCode proxy
path belongs to the controller host` on macOS (`/Users/...`). This does
not exercise the new Linux-only copy.
- An unchanged-base OpenCode comparison was attempted with `-t
"reacquires opencode ingress"`, but PostgreSQL setup failed with
`ENOSPC` before the case ran. The local baseline comparison is therefore
inconclusive. Task-owned Rust build outputs were cleaned to recover disk
space.
- At this stage Linux verification was pending. The successful final run
is recorded below.
- No new tests were needed. The existing release-tool tests cover
manifest enrollment, dependency ordering, and bootstrap checks.

- Current-head CI interruption: [workspaces-a shard
1/2](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41893808561/job/126799012853)
was cancelled after the runner received a shutdown signal. The log shows
no assertion failure. The job rerun request was rejected with HTTP 403
because the workflow was still running. The subsequent fixture
correction starts a new full CI run and supersedes that pending rerun.

- CI at `7fffa315`: [native Runner
job](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41893808561/job/126799011711)
passed executable permission checks, then failed because Node tried to
resolve `/memfd:paperclip-verified-launch (deleted)`. The private
executable was named `opencode-node`, which bypassed Runner's Node
interpreter recognition. The fixture now names its copy `node`, matching
the existing transport fixture and selecting the CommonJS descriptor
loader.
- Passed a local smoke test of the production CommonJS descriptor loader
using an open, unlinked script file. This is macOS evidence only; the
successful final Linux run below provides the complete ingress retry
evidence.

- Final verification on `bcacac542aa0a1b641b26c099c1e9fc4a1653ec4`: all
54 reported checks passed; three unrelated checks were skipped. [Native
Runner integration
job](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41895787712/job/126805844773)
passed, including the OpenCode ingress retry regression. The fresh full
run also passed the workspace shard that was interrupted on the previous
attempt. Greptile reports 5/5 for this exact head with no unresolved
review threads. Earlier failures and local verification limits remain
recorded above.

## Risks

- The maintainer confirmed that npm trusted publishing is configured for
this package. The first real CI publish will verify OIDC authentication.
- Merging enables publication in the next successful canary run. An
installation that uses `latest` can still resolve to the placeholder
until the first stable release includes this change.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, exact model ID `gpt-6.1-sol`, with xhigh reasoning effort,
repository tool use, and shell execution. The runtime does not expose
the context window size.

DottaandPaperclip 3a2249dd57 fix(runner): retry proven ingress bootstrap failures (#18981)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native execution must retain its admitted model and execution
authority during recovery.
> - A sandbox provider can reject Runner endpoint acquisition before the
Runner gets a credential.
> - The old error path loses the structured HTTP status and leaves that
startup failure ambiguous.
> - A zero counter in an old checkpoint cannot prove that no credential
was issued.
> - This pull request adds a versioned producer proof and carries closed
provider status through the existing RPC.
> - A proved transient startup failure uses the existing retry budget. A
terminal proved-unused run can settle its accounting.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18018 and #18934. Those changes restore existing checkpoints and
ready retained environments. This change covers endpoint acquisition
before Runner dispatch. A search of related public PRs found no
duplicate implementation.

**What happened?**

A provider HTTP 502 during Runner endpoint acquisition becomes an
untyped worker error. Native recovery treats it as ambiguous and stops
without retrying. The run's native usage receipt also stays pending
after startup ends without model work.

**Expected behavior**

Retry a structured transient endpoint failure only when the complete
current controller checkpoint proves that this exact run never issued a
Runner credential. Preserve authentication, configuration, Stop,
ownership and provider-progress gates. Settle zero usage only under the
existing terminal accounting owner.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Use the controlled endpoint in the Daytona ingress integration test
to return HTTP 502.
2. Register the actual native Runner driver and persist its bootstrap
journal through the encrypted checkpoint writer.
3. Observe the old terminal ambiguous disposition instead of bounded
startup recovery.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on the pre-change master source. The original regression used
the production native driver, a real HTTP fault, a real durable control
plane and local Postgres. The new contract additionally tests the pinned
Daytona SDK and real worker RPC.

## What Changed

- The controller owns a v2 persisted state with retained origin and
credential history. Current readers still accept v1. Older writers
reject v2. Restore and checkpoint decoding do not add missing history.
- The proof validates the complete bootstrap journal, all six identity
fields and every delivery, credential and progress control. The server
rechecks its fingerprint under the current controller claim before retry
or accounting changes.
- Daytona and the SDK carry a closed acquisition phase and HTTP status
through the existing ingress RPC. Both public error wrappers omit
response bodies and causes, including Pino cause serialization.
- Only structured HTTP 429 or 5xx ingress failures can use the existing
three-attempt startup budget. HTTP 401/403, configuration and unknown
errors do not gain retry authority.
- A terminal proved-unused run wakes existing accounting and records
zero provider work. It does not create a semantic result, prove physical
termination or release an unknown process/workspace hold.
- The normal automatic second attempt rechecks its exact claim, frozen
execution and matching complete local/encrypted journal before admitting
absent remote Runner state. It keeps the original pending bootstrap
command IDs. A proved unused Codex home can rematerialize sealed skills.
Full raw local state is checked before streaming-event or policy
projection.
- Normal saved-state readers and the existing E2E journal evidence
matcher accept the closed v1/v2 set. The separate legacy no-launch
witness is unchanged. Technical docs describe the contracts.

## Verification

Current head: `cd38f70409cdb8664e14bfbf4efa208f468a0419` (final delta
adds only fixture artifact preparation). Production files are unchanged
from the independently reviewed `93c8a33520` source. Full repository
typecheck and build passed at `96417acb58`; the affected server
typecheck also passes after the final two-line fixture delta. Focused
protocol, raw-proof, real retry, SDK and RPC acceptance pass on this
source. Earlier broad suite counts are listed with their limits below:

- Durable Runner protocol: 187 tests.
- Native executor, driver, startup/accounting and redaction: 1,211
tests, including real Postgres and encrypted checkpoint persistence.
- Normal saved-state restore/projection compatibility: 21 focused cases.
- SDK: 209 tests.
- Standalone Daytona: 544 tests; 8 opt-in live tests skipped.
- Explicit standalone `pnpm -C
packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona exec vitest run --config
vitest.sdk-ingress.config.ts`: 6 cases with real pinned SDK 0.203.0 and
worker RPC ingress acceptance. These include lookup 502/401/403/400,
private-preview 502 after successful lookup/refresh, missing credentials
and private-response exclusion.
- E2E journal evidence: 4 cases across both supported formats, with
wrong ownership, missing stimulus and unknown-schema controls.
- The exact historical controller source rejects a new v2 checkpoint at
decode and restore. A v1 control is accepted. This verifies the
downgrade fence with the actual older parser.
- Startup controls cover issued and pruned credentials, old/truncated
journals, provider progress, exhausted retry accounting, and
checkpoint/Stop/controller-claim races. Race cases retain the current
execution and pending usage.
- New exact admission controls: 19 cases through encrypted persistence
and cold restore. They cover current/stale/expired claims, Stop, pause,
model/trust/account changes, prior progress, issued/pruned credentials,
adopted/old/truncated state, local/canonical fingerprint mismatch,
hidden delivery, unsupported work and company scope. Two additional
red/green cases prove that raw local stream progress and missing event
policy are rejected before lossy checkpoint projection. No case mutates
run, claim, result or accounting state.
- Actual native executor, scheduler and Rust Runner retry: 2 cases.
Codex uses its fake app server. OpenCode uses the real proxy and fake
OpenCode HTTP server with the frozen DeepSeek model and allow permission
configuration. Each path launches no Runner on attempt 1, starts one
Runner and provider on attempt 2, reuses both original command IDs,
commits one accepted result, validates the persisted local workspace,
records nonzero synthetic native usage and settles accounting once. No
zero-work accounting flag survives.

The controlled SDK and protocol tests use local source, isolated
PostgreSQL, a private HTTPS preview and fake provider servers on macOS
arm64 with Node 24.22.2. They create no hosted sandbox and make no model
call. The root workspace intentionally omits standalone provider
dependencies; the explicit SDK target fails if its pinned dependency is
absent and has no conditional skip. They do not qualify hosted rollout
or repair an old unmarked checkpoint. The first full local typecheck
found missing checkout SDK links from an install with scripts disabled;
the repository link helper repaired that setup.

Current-head Linux CI typecheck and build pass. Independent final review
checked 12 source scopes and six raw-proof controls with no remaining
finding. Fresh Greptile review is 5/5 with no unresolved thread.

The full Runner CI suite found two older control-peer test doubles
missing the new proof method. Both now return no proof, with all 27
permission, ordering and cancellation assertions retained and passing.
The new Cargo-dependent native retry suite uses the existing Rust-cached
CI lane. All 39 lane coverage controls pass and prove complete,
duplicate-free suite coverage. The first full test run stopped at an
admitted chat Retry polling failure. CI also found a stale
retained-allocation fixture, now repaired on master by #18984, and a
canceled runner job. A real SDK suite initially relied on a dependency
absent from the root workspace; the explicit standalone target now owns
that acceptance.

The separate Product E2E support run had 12 failures in four untouched
files. All 12 reproduce on the original clean base with independent
dependencies, compiled base source and verified workspace resolution.
These concern workflow expectations, cleanup timeout arguments, a
profile snapshot and operating receipts. They are not passing
acceptance.

The later full local repository test command stopped at a 15-second
timeout in the unchanged GitHub pre-allocation retry `controller` case.
That exact case passed in isolation with unchanged assertions. The broad
Runner run initially omitted `test:typescript:prep` and lacked debug
fake-provider binaries. Required preparation then passed 370 + 44
package contract cases (11 skipped); the prepared full package run
reported 4,932 passed, 9 failed and 13 skipped. All failed families then
passed with unchanged assertions in isolation: 8 ACPX controller tests
and 2 credential controls. The paired original-base ACPX control also
passed. The full-run failures remain recorded; they are not passing
full-suite evidence.

The first Rust-cached native CI run found a missing generated OpenCode
proxy in a fresh checkout. The fixture now runs the existing verified
provider-entrypoint builder. Removing the generated proxy reproduces the
exact ENOENT before the fix; both real retry cases pass after the fix
from the same absent-artifact state.

All current-head CI gates pass, including the aggregate verification
check. Linux native CI passes all 10 suites: 177 tests pass and 14
opt-in cases skip. Both real provider retry cases pass. The full Runner
package passes 297 suites and 4,950 tests, with 1 suite and 10 tests
skipped. The CLI workspace groups pass 4,762 and 286 tests. The first CI
attempt had Runner shutdowns in the Runner package, Canary and three
general server jobs. One unchanged CLI shard also hit child-server
startup and dense ZIP deadlines. Both CLI files passed unchanged in
isolation: 18 tests. One bounded rerun of unsuccessful jobs and their
dependents passed. The original failures remain recorded.

## Risks

- Older controllers reject newly written v2 state on downgrade. Current
controllers retain v1 restore support, but old or unmarked state cannot
gain this new proof.
- An older plugin that omits structured ingress evidence remains held.
The server and provider must use the new producer contract for this
recovery path. The Docker `cloud` target builds the SDK, server/Runner
and standalone Daytona producer from one source tree. The default
`production` target does not build the standalone producer. Hosted
rollout must confirm the new image and active image-owned plugin worker;
a registry version alone does not prove its source. An npm-installed
producer needs an explicit matching artifact upgrade.
- This prevents future proved startup failures. It does not release
historical accounting based on an old checkpoint, change retry budgets,
replace a model or weaken sandbox isolation.
- Zero model usage is separate from process termination, saved files and
resource release. Those owners keep their existing gates.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex with tool use and code execution. This runtime does not
expose the exact backend model ID or context window to the agent.
Read-only independent agents reviewed checkpoint compatibility and
SDK/RPC error boundaries.

DottaandPaperclip aaea05e158 fix(native): preserve backups when completed warm sessions retire (#18986)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native Runner keeps provider history when a warm session ends.
> - Object storage must preserve that history before the sandbox is
released.
> - A completed turn releases its live controller lease.
> - The backup owner lookup rejects that released lease and stops the
next task preparation.
> - This pull request uses the existing completed-run checkpoint fence
for backup storage.
> - The next turn can prepare after the previous provider state is
saved.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #18932, #18011, #18984.

**What happened?**

A warm Codex turn completed and kept its provider session alive. The
next turn stopped during preparation with
`native_harness_storage_owner_missing`. The backup lookup required a
live lease after normal completion had released it.

**Expected behavior**

Save the completed session under its retained controller generation and
committed result. Keep the existing owner and successor checks. Do not
start another provider turn during the save.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run a warm native session with object-backed provider backups.
2. Commit the first turn and release its controller lease.
3. Start the next task preparation and retire the previous session.
4. Observe the backup owner error before provider work starts.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The regression is present at `86814c6550f52e99ede150a883bdc773cbb540e3`.

**Deployment mode**

A hosted server with a remote native Runner and S3 storage.

## What Changed

- Accept a released backup owner only when its exact controller record
has a committed result.
- Reuse the checkpoint owner policy for same-controller preparation and
native successors.
- Recheck the controller generation, committed result, and released
state after upload.
- Preserve live-owner rejection and the rule that a late upload cannot
replace a newer conversation backup.
- Add real PostgreSQL storage and restore regressions. Document the
completed-run backup rule.

## Verification

- On 2026-11-04, two new regressions failed on the unchanged source with
`native_harness_storage_owner_missing`. These covered an idle completed
session and a same-controller preparing successor.
- After the fix, 54 selected tests passed: 30 durable backup tests and
24 existing early-retirement checkpoint tests. After the fixture-only
upstream sync, all 58 selected storage, checkpoint, process, and
affected fixture cases passed again.
- The storage cases use real PostgreSQL, encrypted archives, object
transfer, and restoration. They cover invalid completion evidence,
foreign or expired successors, active predecessors, changed generations,
changes during upload, and newer backup publication.
- Command: `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/services/native-runtime/native-harness-backup-storage.integration.test.ts
server/src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts
-t 'released|backup|early retirement|durably retires an accepted warm
Runner'`.
- An independent source review found no outstanding code issue.
- Full repository typecheck passed with `node
scripts/typecheck-low-memory.mjs` before the upstream fixture-only sync.
Production source is unchanged across that sync.
- An assembled process probe passed with the Runner binary built from
this head and a fake Codex protocol peer. It started real processes,
committed a result, released the source lease, claimed the next
controller, and completed the source stop, drain, and suspend commands.
It recorded one provider turn start and kept the task bound to its
successor.
- Command: `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts
-t 'durably retires an accepted warm Runner'`.
- CI exposed the old allocation-readiness test setup in three cases. The
branch now includes the merged #18984 fixture correction. The same three
cases passed locally after that sync.
- An earlier CI test shard was cancelled after its runner received a
shutdown signal. Its log was retained before one rerun. Another old-head
shard reported failure with no retrievable job log or annotations; its
cause remains unknown. Current-head CI must pass independently.
- Local `pnpm build` passed at this head. All 1,904 chat cases passed
across the supported local shards; the earlier shards used
byte-identical source before the fixture-only sync. The interrupted
default command is retained and is not reported as a pass.
- The local bulk server run had separate enrollment acknowledgment,
environment-run status, monitor-settle, idle-history teardown, and
repository-rehome failures. In isolation, idle-history passed all 75
tests and the unchanged repository cases passed with their original
limits (4.9s large files, 6.4s refs). The remaining four local failures
reproduced on unchanged master `04a24f4e06` under the same environment
and limits. Their causes remain unproven. Logs and the baseline
comparison were retained; the local full suite is not claimed as passed.
- Current-head CI first hit the unchanged repository-rehome large-file
case's 15s timeout. The same isolated case passed in 4.9s. After
source/call-path comparison, one bounded failed-shard retry passed all
115 executed suites; no assertion or timeout was changed. The original
timeout remains recorded.
- Local verification uses macOS 26.5.2 arm64, Node 26.4.0, pnpm 9.15.4,
PostgreSQL 18.1, and Cargo 1.97.1. The current tested head is
`622f69f76ff68c71eacdcbcbc6ab4d4c6eb83bf9`.
- The full unfiltered [PR
workflow](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41868587974)
passed at `622f69f76ff68c71eacdcbcbc6ab4d4c6eb83bf9`: all 12 general
server, 3 chat, 9 serialized, workspace, native Runner, build/typecheck,
E2E, and final verify lanes. The file selector was skipped, so this was
the complete fallback matrix.
- Greptile reports 5/5 on this exact head with no open review threads.
Disposable local test processes were cleaned up and the source tree is
clean.
- The real hosted Codex and S3 workflow has not been rerun because the
local verification environment has no remote provider credentials. The
original task remains unchanged.

## Risks

The main risk is a stale controller publishing provider history after a
new owner starts. Both storage transactions keep the company, run, boot,
and generation fence. A released owner must keep its committed result.
Existing successor checks and the newer-backup publication guard remain
in force. The live checkpoint writer still requires a non-null lease. No
migration or API change is required.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 86814c6550 fix(recovery): ready retained sandboxes before preparation (#18934)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages work performed by AI agents.
> - Restart recovery must preserve each run's workspace and execution
owner.
> - A retained remote lease can refer to an archived sandbox.
> - The reattachment path returned that lease without making it ready.
> - A short project-authentication command then had to start the
sandbox.
> - This PR resumes and verifies the exact retained allocation before
preparation.
> - Recovery keeps the recorded workspace and preserves saved work if
resume fails.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A native run resumed after a controller restart. Its saved sandbox had
been archived. Reattachment returned its lease without a provider
lifecycle resume. The next project-authentication probe tried to start
that sandbox with its 15-second command budget. The start failed before
the probe could inspect project settings. The heartbeat reported a
configuration conflict and stopped work.

**What did you expect to happen?**

Make the exact retained sandbox ready through the existing bounded
lifecycle operation. Verify its allocation before running short
preparation commands. Keep the validated lease and recorded working
directory. Never acquire a replacement in this path.

**Steps to reproduce**

Hold the provider's exact-lease resume pending and call remote
reattachment for an active ephemeral lease. Before this change,
acquisition returns immediately. The added tests hold acquisition until
resume completes and reject missing, changed or expired allocation
evidence. Provider compatibility cases retain the recorded workspace
when resume omits directory metadata or returns the allocation root.

**Deployment mode**

Native Runner in a sandbox with a retained workspace and managed AI
connection. The observed provider was Daytona.

Refs #18910, which restores selection of retries using current remote
workspace storage. This change repairs the next preparation boundary.
Related #17421 and #18559 change project-file inspection; they do not
make retained sandbox leases ready.

## What Changed

- Resume the exact validated sandbox lease before returning it to
preparation.
- Require the receipt to confirm the original provider allocation
without reporting expiration.
- Keep the original database lease and recorded directory. Resume
metadata can describe the allocation root.
- Pass the existing typed resume-directory input through the runtime
facade.
- Preserve retained E2B sandboxes when resume timeout setup or workspace
inspection fails. Keep new-allocation cleanup and explicit
release/destroy behavior.
- Preserve plugin-task reattachment and lease identity checks.
- Update the Stop-accounting fixture to confirm exact-allocation resume
before cleanup, with its budget, ownership and no-paid-work assertions
intact.
- Document the ordering and add readiness, receipt, failure and
ownership regressions.

## Verification

- Red: seven initial retained-lease cases failed before the readiness
change. Two receipt-compatibility cases and four E2B preservation cases
failed before their fixes.
- Green: all four runtime, workspace-preparation, heartbeat-recovery and
orchestrator suites pass: **442 tests**.
- The Stop-accounting CI failure reproduced locally. All **five**
integration cases pass with the exact-allocation resume fixture.
- All **22 E2B tests**, the standalone plugin typecheck and its build
pass.
- **13 Daytona safety cases** pass, including recorded directories,
allocation sentinel rejection, saved-file reads and no replacement
creation. The SDK boundary is simulated; the saved-file case uses real
files and a POSIX shell.
- These focused checks cover **482 passing cases**.
- Full recursive typecheck, final server typecheck and full workspace
build pass on macOS arm64 with Node 24.22.2 and PostgreSQL 18.1.
- Greptile is **5/5** on head
`32f915a475275680bcf2a2aa43ae0c72f4e4b1db`. Both original review threads
are resolved.
- All current-head CI gates pass. The check rollup has 54 successful
checks, three skipped checks and one neutral check.
- The separate Paperclip Review check remains queued. Its public
response says work is paused and the request is saved. The review task
is waiting for saved-file recovery, so no Paperclip assessment of this
head is claimed. The branch-required gate has passed.
- A read-only deployed trace showed an archived sandbox start fail at
the short probe's 15-second deadline. Actual provider reattachment with
this revision has not been exercised. Live recovery remains unverified
until rollout.

## Risks

Recovery now makes one bounded lifecycle call before short preparation
commands. A missing resume capability or a missing, changed or expired
allocation receipt holds recovery. The existing runtime and provider
retain allocation and sentinel verification. The path does not acquire,
release, replace or reseed the lease. Warm providers can return their
existing allocation. E2B retains the existing sandbox if resume setup
fails; explicit lifecycle cleanup still owns its removal. No background
polling, credential-policy change, migration, workflow change or
lockfile change is added.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, source inspection, tool use
and code execution. The exact backend snapshot and context window were
not exposed.

DottaandPaperclip 84e9c8f364 fix(retry): wait for admitted source cleanup before dispatch (#18898)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Connected-task Retry keeps the original request and its current
authority.
> - One durable Retry can already own a queued successor.
> - The old native environment can still have pending cleanup before
that successor starts.
> - The task execution lock points to the successor, so the old cleanup
can escape the queue claim check.
> - Dispatch then refuses the source state and fails the new run before
provider work.
> - This pull request keeps that same run queued and wakes dispatch when
cleanup changes.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18845, #18853, #18860, #18877, #18882 and #18932. These repairs
cover preservation binding, interrupted preparation, old native
ownership, manual native holds or other setup guards. This change covers
an already admitted connected-task Retry whose native predecessor still
owes cleanup. It uses the shared cleanup predicate so the manual-hold
repair remains with its existing owner. Search found no duplicate
queued-source cleanup repair.

**What happened?**

A board Retry saved its exact chat request and admitted one queued
successor. The source lease was still pending cleanup when that
successor reached dispatch. A retained stop receipt did not settle the
full cleanup contract. The queue checked the task's current execution
owner, which was already the successor. The native authorization guard
then rejected the predecessor state and failed the new run before
provider dispatch.

**Expected behavior**

Keep the same canonical Retry and queued run while the exact source
cleanup is pending. After authoritative settlement, submit that run
through normal dispatch once. Do not infer safe execution from a
stop-and-retain receipt alone.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Retry an authorized connected request from a failed native run.
2. Admit one successor while capacity keeps it queued.
3. Leave or restore the source lease to pending cleanup with a matching
retained stop receipt.
4. Release capacity and resume the ordinary queue.
5. The old claim path starts the successor and the native source guard
refuses it.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced against master at `f77499283270d2e966aabd58493f9d35c6bbdf5f`.

**Deployment mode**

The regression uses the real HTTP route, chat authorization, queue
claims, disposable PostgreSQL and the production work coordinator on
macOS arm64. A controlled adapter supplies the final result. No hosted
provider replay or deployment is claimed.

## What Changed

- Validate the exact canonical Retry, chat action, company, task, agent,
source and successor before testing source cleanup.
- Keep the successor queued under the existing issue claim lock while
the shared cleanup predicate remains pending.
- Wake only the scoped queued-dispatch worker after cleanup or exact
workspace-owner release commits. Add no timer or background scan.
- Verify pending cleanup at intake, later cleanup invalidation, one
final execution, idempotency, Stop, changed input, unknown stop
receipts, a different live controller and signed sandbox absence
followed by owner release.
- Document the queued-wait contract. No schema, endpoint, credential,
model or provider policy changes are required.
- Align five native preparation acceptance fixtures with the existing
workspace publication contract. Use the real reservation and publication
owner. Retain a raw-root refusal case with no provider launch and
preserved files.

## Verification

- Latest master sync at `e26cad76b8f20ba823d702ed60e7b7294f8f5a7c`
includes master `396b7fc62a0a4b1d8aadbda8221c05879d54177c`. The shared
test helper preserves #18944's canonical retained-directory default, the
real publisher for the five fresh-workspace cases, and the explicit
raw-root refusal. Independent remerge review found no dropped upstream
behavior, guard or assertion.
- The latest head passes the focused six cases, all 580 complete
workspace/continuation tests, all 38 selected HTTP Retry cases, fresh
full recursive Node 24.22.2 types and full build. No affected tests
skipped. An initial cached test-layer attempt read old budget
declarations; regenerating them resolved all seven errors without
test/mock or production-export changes.
- All current-head CI is green at
`e26cad76b8f20ba823d702ed60e7b7294f8f5a7c`, including required [ci /
verify](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41846304017/job/126636751314)
and [ci /
e2e](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41846304017/job/126636638086).
Greptile and Paperclip Review both rate this exact head 5/5, with no
findings or open review threads.
- Master sync at `3e4f266c2da172a84afd0b9cb4a91ea3b95f3c0d` merges
master `b891e69bd23d6dab8ce536569e15bc4a7a31c35c`. The only conflicts
were adjacent queue imports and two HTTP Retry test matrices. Both
imports and both complete matrices remain unchanged. Independent review
found no relaxed guard or assertion.
- Node 24.22.2 and pnpm 9.15.4: all 38 selected real HTTP Retry cases,
194 queue/cleanup/finalizer cases, module boundaries, recursive types
and build pass at `3e4f266c2da172a84afd0b9cb4a91ea3b95f3c0d`.
- That sync head's [server
check](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41838741852/job/126604742761)
failed five native acceptance cases in CI and locally with
`remote_workspace_published_path_invalid`. The test fixture supplied a
raw directory instead of a fresh publisher-generated workspace. The
guard from #18932 remains unchanged. The same five cases passed earlier
Linux CI before that guard was present.
- The test-only alignment at `dcdee1bb6c2e2e6dd494382499d17c23a3ce71a8`
obtains the saved authority, path and run reference from real
`reserveRemoteWorkspace` and `prepareRemoteWorkspace`. All five original
cases and a raw-root no-launch/no-result/files-preserved control pass.
Their native result, file, catalog and single-execution assertions
remain intact. An initial setup attempt was refused for a noncanonical
allocation root; the fixture now resolves that owned root before
publication.
- At previous fixture head `dcdee1bb6c2e2e6dd494382499d17c23a3ce71a8`,
the generated server test-layer typecheck passed. All 580 tests in the
complete workspace/continuation family pass, with no skips. That
test-only commit left production files byte-identical to the sync head.
- Previous published-head CI was green at
`dcdee1bb6c2e2e6dd494382499d17c23a3ce71a8`, including required `ci /
verify` and `ci / e2e`. The [Linux Node 24.22.2 server
shard](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41842665765/job/126618334638)
executed all five original acceptance cases and the new raw-root refusal
case successfully. Its whole workspace recovery file passed all 245
tests.
- Greptile reviewed previous published head
`dcdee1bb6c2e2e6dd494382499d17c23a3ce71a8` at 5/5, with no findings or
open review threads. No unchanged-job rerun was used for the reproduced
sync-head failure.
- Causal red: the real HTTP regression started and failed the successor
at the native source-state guard while cleanup remained pending. A
second red proved that signed sandbox absence followed by copyback-owner
release lacked a queued-dispatch wake.
- Green: seven HTTP/PostgreSQL cleanup cases, the exact confirmed-owner
release notification control and seven existing retry lineage controls
pass. The real coordinator resumes from committed cleanup or
workspace-owner release, without a manual queue restart. One controlled
adapter execution produces the result after settlement.
- Earlier branch verification passed full repository `pnpm -r
typecheck`, `pnpm build`, module boundaries and `git diff --check`.
- The full stale-queue file control passed all 64 cases with unchanged
observer/hook limits. The initial broader affected run had 192 passes
and one non-assignee native-owner case miss its existing five-second
adapter observer while already running with no error. The isolated case
passed; the unchanged base passed all 64 cases but hit its existing
30-second teardown timeout. Those original results are retained. The new
queue hint has no dispatch consumer in that fixture.
- Earlier-head CI was green: 54 success, three skipped and two neutral
checks at `6adb9f1ba682282c512d5e751ba2aa663f614ca2`. One chat job was
cancelled by an external runner shutdown; its single unchanged-job rerun
passed. No source was changed to obtain that result.
- Greptile and Paperclip Review both rated earlier head
`6adb9f1ba682282c512d5e751ba2aa663f614ca2` 5/5 with no findings or
unresolved threads. These results do not qualify the master-sync head.
- At initial verification, a complete local `pnpm test:run` was not
repeated while the related setup repair's full local run was active. The
full earlier-head CI suites passed. A full local suite has not been
repeated for the mechanical master sync. Local verification uses the
affected HTTP, producer, lineage and queue suites. No full local-suite
pass is claimed.
- The fresh clone's missing plugin SDK links were repaired with the
repository's own postinstall helper before verification. The embedded
PostgreSQL package's own symlink helper was also required.
- No staging task was submitted again with this repair, and no
deployment is claimed.

## Risks

- A pending source cleanup can keep the queued run waiting. Its cleanup
owner still owns reconciliation and its existing limits.
- Stop, changed source, unknown termination and live ownership retain
their existing authority checks. A cleanup notification grants no
execution authority.
- A new cleanup change after claim still faces the existing final
dispatch guard.
- Cleanup notifications can change dispatch timing in a running
controller. The real coordinator cases verify commit-bound wakeups; the
broader current queue-file control passed all 64 cases. The earlier
loaded-run and baseline teardown failures are retained in verification.

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, code editing, tool use,
PostgreSQL and browser verification. This session does not expose a more

DottaandPaperclip 5d226ca08a perf(chat): reuse bound-run authorization query templates (#18966)
This PR depends on #18969. Merge that fixture-only prerequisite first,
then retarget this PR to master. No merge or deployment is requested in
this work. Its base is `codex/fix-recovery-published-workspace-fixture`;
the six-line recovery fixture repair is excluded from this diff.

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - External chat authorization binds each run to current messages and
conversation policy.
> - Review wait and attention-retention paths repeat the same four-table
read.
> - Each call rebuilt the Drizzle query even when its SQL shape stayed
the same.
> - This pull request reuses the compiled template for the exact
database handle and lock mode.
> - Fresh parameters and current database reads preserve authorization
while reducing Node CPU work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The `authorizeChatConversationForBoundRun` links read used by external
chat waits and attachment reuse.

**Current behavior**

At baseline `e54f9fbf828e06e385e0c62dc381ccb46190aa30`, each call
rebuilt and serialized a four-table query. The observed staging shape
accounted for 16.2% of sampled SQL serialization CPU across 32 samples.
This is a share of query compilation CPU, not total server CPU.

**Proposed behavior**

Compile each read, blocking-lock or NOWAIT variant once per exact live
database or transaction object. Bind new company, issue, agent, provider
and comment IDs on every execution. Continue all current database reads
and authorization checks.

**Reason and benefit**

Repeated authorized service calls used 26.91% less Node process CPU in
the matched local fixture. All seven CPU pairs improved. This reduces
repeated compilation on the shared service path.

Related: #18896 retains task Retry intent through identity contention.
It changes a different workflow and does not reuse this query template.
A public issue and PR search found no duplicate template change.
ROADMAP.md has no conflicting planned feature.

## What Changed

- Keep compiled queries in a `WeakMap` keyed by the exact supplied
database or transaction object. Create only the requested lock variant.
Never cache a result or authority decision.
- Bind the comment list as `ANY(uuid[])`. This supports changing list
sizes with only three templates per live handle. Keep all joins,
selected fields, policy checks and lock clauses.
- Add real PostgreSQL regression tests, a reusable fixture, an actual
service benchmark and a dated performance note.

## Verification

- Passed 17 real PostgreSQL tests: `node node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs
run --project @paperclipai/server
server/src/__tests__/prepared-chat-authorization.integration.test.ts
server/src/services/native-runtime/chat-attachment-reuse.test.ts`.
- After rebasing, seven selected existing external-chat-wait integration
cases passed (266 deselected). They cover small current review waits,
answered-chat identity advisory locks, connection-disable serialization
and contended endpoint proof retry.
- New tests cover changed parameters and list sizes, duplicate/empty
inputs, invalid UUID errors, company/agent/provider binding, current
setup generation and credential fingerprints, root/transaction/savepoint
isolation, rollback, read mode during a held row lock, blocking timeout
and NOWAIT contention.
- Actual service benchmark: `node --import
./server/node_modules/tsx/dist/loader.mjs
server/scripts/benchmark-bound-chat-authorization.ts
--baseline-ref=e54f9fbf828e06e385e0c62dc381ccb46190aa30`. Node 24.22.2,
macOS arm64, real PostgreSQL, 500 warmup calls per implementation, seven
alternating pairs of 500 calls. Every result matched.
- Pinned measured treatment `8386eb78d118faaf6c2fd7f7471b38c0f4b2ef54`.
Its source is unchanged after rebasing onto master. Median Node CPU per
500 calls: 379.033 ms to 277.048 ms, down 26.91%. Every CPU pair
improved by 13.54–33.52%. Median wall time: 742.109 ms to 648.005 ms.
One wall pair increased by 0.51%.
- A separate diagnostic after timing found five SQL compilations per
baseline call and four per warm treatment call. All five database reads
still run.
- The final four-test PostgreSQL authorization suite passed again after
rebasing and strengthening the lock proof. It holds only a message-link
row, so principal advisory contention cannot mask a missing joined-query
lock.
- Independent source review found no correctness issue in exact-handle
ownership, fresh binding or the three lock variants.
- Preserve setup failures: the first test attempt lacked plugin SDK
build output. Shared and SDK builds fixed it. Later attempts could not
start embedded PostgreSQL because its local dependency directory lacked
bundled native-library aliases. `DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH` did not fix it.
Restoring package-local aliases fixed the environment; the final 17
tests then passed. No dependency or lockfile change is included.
- The first full typecheck found new test-only errors: PostgreSQL
transaction handles lack the root database `$client` type, and runtime
setup test data includes fields outside the saved setup interface.
Commit `40a4645750` uses the existing explicit transaction test cast and
SQL JSON fixtures. No production contract changed. The full check also
found local plugin SDK link prerequisites, which the coordinator is
repairing separately.
- Preserve the first Linux CI failure: [server shard
9](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41837775564/job/126602280304)
failed the new setup-fence fixture's allowed case. The fixture supplied
a client `processedAt` while PostgreSQL supplied default `receivedAt`;
this could violate the required processing order. The test now uses
explicit ordered timestamps and no wall-clock window. The four-test
PostgreSQL suite passed again in 19.93 seconds. Production guards were
not weakened.
- [Server shard
2](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41837775564/job/126602280291)
also failed five workspace-recovery cases with
`remote_workspace_published_path_invalid`. Those failures reproduced on
both pure master and the exact CI merge with the chat optimization
removed. #18969 fixes the canonical path in that separate fixture, with
five failing cases before and five passing after. This PR is stacked on
that independent repair for final CI.
- The additional Paperclip review reported a node-postgres
statement-name collision and requested explicit pool cleanup. This
repository uses postgres-js; locked Drizzle 0.45.2 accepts the Drizzle
label but does not use or forward it. [The review
response](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18966#issuecomment-6632666599)
links primary driver source and the database factory. Commit
`c5d0d84f36` adds explicit pool teardown in `try/finally` and a real
same-transaction `read → blocking → nonblocking → read` case. All five
authorization tests passed in 6.47 seconds. The original separate
row-lock test remains. Production SQL and code did not change.
- Final combined local validation at `4ab58ff70b` passed full `pnpm -r
typecheck` (39.864 seconds) and 35 real PostgreSQL cases across the
chat, GitHub and shared prepared-query suites (11.378 seconds). Full
`pnpm build` passed earlier with byte-identical production source; later
changes affect tests only. The production file SHA matches the benchmark
and this PR. The original full `pnpm test:run` was interrupted after all
six chat shards passed and general tests had partly run, so it is not a
full local pass. Final current-head CI provides the broader coverage. A
sandbox retry failed with EPERM before assertions; the identical
escalated commands then passed. Final head passed CI in [workflow
41843806060](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41843806060),
including all build, typecheck, general, serialized and e2e test gates.
The previous head `40a464575009dfc3cce7afa1eb4fffa5540dcaf6` passed
Greptile 5/5, security review, typecheck, build and canary validation.
The prior stacked head `74cb36370162750f8e135ed091603d3629d23b0d` passed
full CI, Greptile 5/5, policy and security checks. Final head
`c5d0d84f369d897a66d9b6441bab10cb79f593b9` passed a fresh Greptile 5/5
review with no actionable findings, security and PR policy checks. Its
complete [current-head CI workflow
passed](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41843806060).
All 54 required CI, Greptile, policy and security checks passed. The
optional Paperclip Review check is queued for this head; no current-head
score is claimed. Production source SHA-256 remains
`72ce9d2317e5c97b36e299e24e30fc1aa63020d8c266e495fc45dbfdd5331e93`,
identical to the measured code.

## Risks

- `ANY(uuid[])` relies on postgres-js array binding and UUID casting.
Real PostgreSQL tests cover single and multiple valid values and invalid
UUID errors.
- A new transaction or savepoint pays its first compilation cost. The
weak cache cannot reuse a root session for it. This benchmark covers
repeated calls on one root handle.
- The team paused other work during the benchmark. Unrelated Rust
compilation was active elsewhere on the host. Process CPU excludes those
processes, but host contention can affect caches, scheduling and wall
time. This source-mode local result does not prove production request
latency or whole-server CPU savings.
- No migration or API contract changes. No deployment or merge is
included. Monitor authorization failures and lock-contention behavior
after an authorized rollout; revert the narrow service change if those
regress.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` through Codex, with reasoning, repository editing,
tool use and test execution. The host did not expose a context-window
size or deployment snapshot ID.

DottaandPaperclip 396b7fc62a fix(runner): scope session diagnostics to the active run recorder (#18944)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents and their work.
> - The native executor can retain a transport between runs.
> - Each run recorder has a shorter lifetime than that transport.
> - The transport kept its first recorder after warm reuse and
completion.
> - A later close could write to the wrong run or a sealed object log.
> - This change binds diagnostics to the active run epoch and retires
that binding at execution exit.
> - The existing recorder still owns accepted-byte draining and honest
incomplete finalization.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A warm native transport retained the first run's diagnostic callback.
Reusing the session for another run did not change that callback. A
later idle close could append to a retired writer and emit a persistence
warning.

**Expected behavior**

Active diagnostics belong to the current company, session and run. A
retired transport callback must not use a completed recorder. Diagnostic
metadata must not delay essential execution cleanup.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the native warm-session regression with two sequential run owners.
Close the retained transport after both runs finish. The original code
calls the first recorder. The real completion regression also observes
the resulting closed-writer warning after normal lease cleanup.

This is a local source defect with behavioral red/green proof. Repeated
hosted generic persistence warnings motivated the investigation, but
their original exceptions were not retained. This PR does not claim to
identify every such warning or repair an export failure.

Related #18379 queues sanitized performance spans in heartbeat. It does
not own transport diagnostic callback lifetime.

## What Changed

- Bind transport diagnostics to an exact active company/session/run
epoch, including warm reuse.
- Activate a retained channel in the existing session-admission hook
after identity validation and before attachment starts, including an
attachment failure before `onSession`.
- Forward active diagnostics synchronously. Detach their recorder at
execution exit. Keep the original asynchronous metadata semantics.
- Keep idle transport evidence inspectable. Log only a fixed category
and trusted company/run identifiers to the process logger.
- Preserve recorder-owned byte draining, redaction, source coverage and
genuine persistence-failure warnings.
- Cover actual native executor, completion and lease-close boundaries,
including stalled local appends and exact object-log source/hash
preservation.
- Place the retained-workspace test fixture under the existing
published-path contract after merging newer recovery tests from master.
Production validation and native/catalog assertions remain unchanged.

## Verification

- Current head: `c500e4933a85a4c453f66c872fa335108c661b15`. Normal
master merges preserve upstream behavior. The one textual conflict was
in the executor imports.
- The first GitHub run tested merge tree
`a4cb59448a3b5cc2047ac41c691720e6acec6e8d`, which included newer
recovery tests from master. Five cases failed with
`remote_workspace_published_path_invalid`. The same five failures
reproduced on an identical local tree. The fixture now puts retained
files under `.paperclip-workspaces/<workspaceId>` and keeps the target,
lease and authority bound to that path. Production validation and the
native-success/catalog-denial assertions are unchanged.
- On unchanged `c500e493`, the full recovery file passed **244/244**
tests. Existing cold-restore and occupied-root controls passed **4/4**.
Server typecheck, server production build, module boundaries and
whitespace checks passed. An intermediate missing-import setup failure
was corrected and is separate from the five-case behavioral red.
- Before that fixture correction, local `f2fdaddb` passed **1,221
tests** across the five diagnostic, executor, output, completion and
object-store files. Recursive typecheck and full repository build also
passed. Those results are tied to that earlier revision; [fresh
current-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41842043248)
must qualify the final merge.
- Behavioral regressions cover the original closed-writer warning, warm
A-to-B ownership, and an actual Runner attachment exception before
`onSession`. The admission hook gives the attachment diagnostic to B and
leaves A untouched. The attachment fixture uses synthetic event
persistence and outer failure projection; it does not certify a real
database terminal projection.
- The tests preserve synchronous diagnostic admission and asynchronous
metadata recording. A stalled append reaches the existing bounded
finalization result with unknown size/hash. The normal object-log
control preserves canonical bytes, SHA256 and complete source coverage
after lease cleanup.
- An initial local run had **37 PostgreSQL startup failures** because
the Darwin package lacked aliases to its included versioned libraries.
Only isolated `node_modules` aliases were restored. No source or
lockfile changed for this setup issue. A passing intermediate run
crossed a source merge and is excluded from immutable-head proof.
- An earlier combined test run passed 1,216 assertions but exited with a
completion `afterAll` timeout. Its cause remains unproved. Later
isolated 60/60 passes used the original timeout and do not erase that
failure. An earlier repository-wide `pnpm test:run` was interrupted
after its source became obsolete; it is not full-suite or current-head
proof.

Greptile reviewed the exact `c500e493` head at **5/5** with no open
findings. Fresh CI must pass before merge. The native review is queued
behind its separate saved-file recovery; no current-head native
assessment is claimed.

The provider execution loop is a fixture. These tests do not start a
model or prove hosted recovery. Missing accounting receipts remain
pending, not zero cost. Checkout-release invocation is observed; this is
not a separate task-arbiter journey. The original native review
published a valid finding before a separate workspace-export failure.
The finding is fixed; this PR does not claim to fix that export failure
or every hosted persistence warning.

## Risks

Idle process logs intentionally omit raw provider text. The existing
bounded transport evidence retains its own diagnostics. Accepted fs
appends that do not settle retain the existing unknown-size/hash warning
and cannot be certified complete. No new timeout, storage policy, schema
or provider execution is added.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` through Codex assisted with diagnosis,
implementation, tests and review. The exact context-window size is not
exposed. Tool use and code execution were enabled.

DottaandPaperclip b891e69bd2 fix(native): correct unread wake comments before completion (#18937)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Native agents report completion through a server-owned tool
boundary.
> - A truncated external-chat request requires a complete run-bound
comment read.
> - The terminal guard checks that receipt after the provider ends its
turn.
> - Early completion feedback omitted the same check and could accept an
unread report.
> - The provider then lost its chance to correct the report in the same
turn.
> - This pull request returns the existing read requirement through the
completion tool before accepting the report.
> - The final guard still protects the exact source and snapshot after
provider settlement.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #16995 keeps run-scoped readers available to retained provider
threads. #18913 preserves queued comment input. This change fixes a
separate completion-feedback boundary.

**What happened?**

A native external-chat run could submit an accepted completion without
reading all server-bound comments. The terminal guard then failed the
run with `native_current_wake_comments_unread`. Early feedback also
accepted partial, changed and foreign read receipts. The agent did not
receive the required correction while it could still act in the same
turn.

**Expected behavior**

The completion tool must reject the report with a
`read_current_wake_comments` instruction and the cursor requirements. A
complete current read must permit the corrected report in the same turn.
The final snapshot check must remain effective.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a running native task with a truncated external-chat wake and
exact accepted comment IDs.
2. Call completion feedback before reading the comments, or after only a
partial or stale read.
3. Observe that the old code returns an accepted report instead of the
read correction.

## What Changed

- Check the existing run, company, task and agent binding before every
completion-feedback acceptance return.
- Reuse the authoritative current-wake reader and terminal receipt
validator.
- Share the two unchanged read-error codes from their owner across the
validator, feedback and executor classification.
- Convert only the two owned unread or changed-snapshot errors into a
bounded tool correction. Other errors still propagate.
- Keep the final validator, receipt parser, result persistence and
admission policy unchanged.
- Add real PostgreSQL regressions and an actual OpenCode MCP tool
sequence with a controlled local provider process.
- Document the early correction and final snapshot fence.

## Verification

The source checkout uses Node 24.22.2 on macOS arm64 with a fresh owned
embedded PostgreSQL database.

Final published tip: `37bfb269432f86f98cab1a58c09b5519ed9477fd`. Its
production code is commit `8c7297318c3a841fc1c72c846acfaabf58adabe9`;
the last commit adapts three existing module mocks. The expanded
affected group passes **1,284 cases** with **35 existing opt-in skips**.
The skips require captured private-runner transition fixtures and a
configured fresh database, which were not supplied. All nine real
PostgreSQL/MCP cases execute and pass. Recursive typecheck and the full
build pass for production commit `8c7297318c`; the final changed test
layer also passes.

- Untouched master `1a39dea9aa2bb9bea416439b0a574c788e88b9a0`: four
causal failures. Unread, partial, changed and foreign complete receipts
incorrectly receive accepted completion feedback. The ordinary
inline-complete control passes.
- Current source: all nine new cases pass. The actual authorized reader
returns the full accepted comment. The same running task and run remain
intact, with no replacement or accepted-result replay.
- The OpenCode native backend sends a real MCP finish rejection to the
controlled provider process. The process follows the returned reader
instruction, reads every page, and resubmits finish. One provider turn
produces one semantic result proposal. The terminal snapshot fence still
rejects a later comment edit.
- All 98 affected OpenCode driver and MCP bridge cases pass with the
fixture-mode addition.
- The first tool-sequence attempt failed on a fixture-only relative path
before starting the provider. The test now uses its module URL. This
setup failure is separate from the four causal failures.
- The first recursive typecheck found missing local workspace links in
the clone's excluded sandbox-provider directories. Existing dependency
links were copied into the isolated clone. No lockfile or source change
was made for this setup repair.
- At `c57e532a87`, all 1255 cases in the six-file affected server
family, recursive Node 24 typecheck and the full build pass. At
production commit `1ae9f54107e1762bc8222572b365a013d4572d1a`, all 1,257
affected cases, recursive Node 24 typecheck and the full build pass.
- Greptile found that the initial correction could restart a partial
read after page two. On `c57e532a87`, following that correction fails
with the actual reader cursor-order error. The follow-up continues the
caller's most recent cursor and retains the changed-snapshot restart
path. All nine new cases pass, including this regression, a
stale-partial control, the foreign receipt refusal and the actual
same-turn MCP sequence.
- [Linux server3/12
job](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41788671370/job/126437378334)
found five failures in the older format-feedback SQL fixture. Its flat
heartbeat row did not match the real joined projection. The same five
failures reproduced locally. The test-only follow-up returns a coherent
run/agent/task projection and keeps the real resolver and formatter
assertions. All 14 format and real-PG/MCP cases pass, and the generated
server test layer typechecks. Production code and the earlier
1,257-case/typecheck/build proof are unchanged.
- Qualification of the shared-code change found 49 failures because
whole-module mocks omitted the new exports. The three mocks now pass
through actual module exports and keep their controlled reader methods.
Literal error assertions remain independent. The final 1,284-case group
passes with the exact 35 opt-in skips described above. No production
fallback or substitute code was added.
- [One Linux Runner package
attempt](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41792315273/job/126448500037)
passed 4,913 cases and skipped 10, but its synthetic post-rename
credential durability case failed with ENOENT. The complete Runner
package tree and lockfile are identical to the [earlier Linux
control](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41790199252/job/126441739681),
where all 42 credential cases passed on Node 24.22.2. The exact case
also passes once on both base and head on macOS with Node 24.22.2. The
original failure cause remains unverified; OS/load and shared-test
timing uncertainty remain. Credential code and assertions are unchanged.
The single affected-job rerun passes, including all 42 credential tests.
The original failure remains unexplained.
- An ordinary full local test attempt was stopped before the review
repair. It has no completion summary and is INCOMPLETE. Current-head
full CI completed; no local full-suite pass is claimed. Greptile
reviewed the final published tip at 5/5 with zero open threads. All
current-tip checks pass: 54 successful check runs, one successful legacy
commit status, 3 skipped and 2 neutral, with no pending or failing
checks. Paperclip also reviewed final tip `37bfb26943` at 5/5 with no
remaining findings. Its prior 4/5 code-ownership recommendation is fixed
and resolved. No review nudge or hosted task retry was issued.

The controlled OpenCode process uses the supported v1 factory envelope
to exercise the common native feedback and MCP boundary. It does not
call a live model or qualify a provider pack. PostgreSQL, authorization,
pagination and receipt checks are real. No hosted task, model,
permission or saved result was changed. Recovery of an already accepted
historical run remains unverified.

## Risks

- Each finish call adds an exact binding query. A mandatory read also
validates the current accepted-comment snapshot through the existing
transaction. Cost grows with those exact comment IDs, bodies and
attachment metadata; it does not scan unrelated task history or add idle
polling.
- A valid read can become stale before the provider settles. The
unchanged terminal guard still rejects that race.
- Missing ownership or unexpected validation errors remain refusals.
This change does not grant replay authority or turn an accepted
historical result into fresh work.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with repository inspection, code execution
and GitHub tools. The runtime does not expose the exact serving model ID
or context window. The coordinator performed independent read-only
source review.

DottaandPaperclip 669538534c fix(recovery): preserve failed remote reattach workspaces (#18936)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Native runs can edit files in a remote execution workspace.
> - A failed reattach can leave an observed coordinator and unpublished
files.
> - The failure handler recognizes the older workspace-sync descriptor
but misses the modern workspace reference.
> - The released task lock then prevents ordinary session recovery from
claiming that old run.
> - This pull request retains the files through the existing Stop,
cleanup and workspace recovery owners.
> - Exact ownership and Stop evidence permit file preservation while
unknown provider effects remain under manual reconciliation.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #18877 protects native manual admission holds. #18879 handles
scheduled native retry lock reclaim. #18918 fixes remote workspace
row-lock order. Those changes do not record the missing modern
failure-retention obligation.

**What happened?**

A native reattach failure can leave a failed run, a dirty modern remote
workspace, an expired observed coordinator and a free task execution
lock. The run has no accepted result. The failure handler skips file
retention because it checks only the older descriptor. Recovery cannot
export while the old coordinator remains owned. A mismatched workspace
generation can also make orphan cleanup miss the existing file claim.

**Expected behavior**

Retain the exact original allocation and files. Stop the allocation
through the existing lifecycle owner before retiring the stale
coordinator. Keep checkpoints and unknown external effects available for
manual reconciliation. Unsafe or changed source authority must prevent
physical cleanup.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Prepare a modern remote workspace for a native run.
2. Record a provider checkpoint and an active interruption incident.
3. Fail reattach preparation and release the task execution lock.
4. Let the coordinator lease expire.
5. Run the existing orphan, environment cleanup and workspace recovery
workers.
6. Verify the original files from a cold archive read and verify that no
new native session starts.

## What Changed

- Include modern prepared references in the existing heartbeat
failure-retention producer.
- Add a file-only historical intake for an exact failed observed run in
the normal expired reattach state.
- Require an untouched active ephemeral lease, a free blocked task,
matching workspace writer and generation, no accepted result and
complete single-owner allocation history.
- Persist the existing StopAndRetain intent before provider I/O. Use
nonblocking row locks and classify busy ownership only after rollback.
- Use the existing native environment settlement owner after exact Stop
and retention receipts arrive. Keep its single scoped discovery query.
- Preserve source and coordinator fingerprints across the handoff. Keep
original checkpoints, errors and manual unknown-effect incidents.
- Keep stale or malformed modern workspace claims held when preservation
intake refuses them.
- Add actual PostgreSQL, heartbeat, allocator, worker restart, archive
and safety controls. Document the narrow recovery contract.

## Verification

Current published head `b1f49691187a398415cf9b16b723e3ab473f0f91`: all
required CI checks pass (54 success, 3 skipped, 1 neutral); Greptile is
5/5 with no open threads. The separate Paperclip assessment is queued
and its current response says work is paused. That assessment is
unavailable; no additional review nudge or hosted retry was issued.

All local commands use Node 24.22.2 on macOS arm64.

- Exact published head: `b1f49691187a398415cf9b16b723e3ab473f0f91`.
Required CI passes (54 success, 3 skipped, 1 neutral); Greptile is 5/5
with zero open threads. The optional Paperclip assessment remains
queued/paused without a completed score.
- Final recursive `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed.
- Final `pnpm build`: passed.
- Final three native producer, containment and scheduling files: **67/67
passed**. These include the real coordinator and worker restart, the
production heartbeat recovery callback, exact Stop receipts, cold
archive restore, and zero native backend, new allocation or destructive
release calls.
- The plugin allocator cases use the actual selector with `reuseLease:
true`. Active and released ephemeral leases receive a fresh allocation.
- The assembled reattach producer checks that the task and coordinator
claim commit before physical resume. A historical pin refuses that
current owner. A later claim behind a committed pin remains held.
- The safety controls cover reusable allocations, manual and unknown
states, cleanup in flight, accepted but unbound results, late allocation
owners, wrong or malformed workspace authority, changed
generation/checkpoint, lost Stop acknowledgement and a real
cleanup-producer lock conflict.
- Untouched base `e7549ab6131555f655736e6b544892a3b1e323cb`: four
expected behavioral failures and one passing legacy-descriptor control.
The failures cover the modern producer, original provider history,
historical retention and wrong-epoch cleanup. Fixed production files
were restored byte-for-byte after this comparison.
- The first affected six-file run completed **562 passed / 1 failed**.
The failure was an existing HTTP case with `socket hang up`. That exact
case passes separately on both untouched base and this branch. The
original connection failure remains unexplained. At `0e92de8c`, the
complete workspace family passes **188/188** with unchanged assertions.
The environment cleanup owner family also passes all 23 cases. The later
guard changes are qualified by the complete 67-case native owner group.
A full repository test run was not repeated locally; the requested
full-ci workflow runs the complete repository suites.
- Published `0e92de8c` fails both new explicit-null Stop/export marker
controls because it creates a new retention pin. The follow-up uses the
shared presence-aware Stop guard. Both controls now preserve the marker
and record no new retention pin, Stop or destructive release.
- Paperclip's review found that malformed workspace authority could
throw and abort an orphan page. Published `5f6cd4f5` fails all three new
controls: intake, the actual page and after-Stop settlement. The same
strict schema now uses a safe parse, and the existing OBSERVED hold runs
before the prepared-source lookup. The malformed source stays held while
the next valid source receives its retention pin.
- Two existing scheduling tests caught the draft's second global
discovery query. The final single-query repair passes all 36 unchanged
scheduling tests.
- An earlier restarted archive assertion stopped after 20 seconds. Its
recorded Stop was valid, and the coordinator had settled. The existing
evidence recheck deadline was still 13 seconds ahead. The final test
observes the unchanged 24–36 second policy within its existing 60 second
case limit.

The external fake provider Stop and file transport are controlled test
boundaries. Database ownership, lifecycle workers, archive bytes,
encrypted local storage and cold restore are real. This does not claim a
live cloud sandbox, S3 or model run. No hosted task was changed for this
PR.

## Risks

- Historical intake is deliberately narrow. Reusable, already released,
mismatched or competing allocations remain held.
- File preservation does not settle unknown provider effects or
authorize a repeated provider turn. The task can still require manual
reconciliation.
- A busy or changed owner delays preservation. The original files and
claims remain retained.
- This does not repair the underlying sandbox readiness failure or
establish the cause of a separate archive-capture failure.
- Deployment and recovery of original hosted tasks remain unverified.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with repository inspection, code execution
and GitHub tools. The runtime does not expose the exact serving model ID
or context window size. A separate Codex agent and the coordinator
performed read-only source review.

DottaandPaperclip d8c1b9d4b5 fix(runtime): reclaim failed remote checkpoint retries (#18877)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native recovery must preserve the original execution and provider
state.
> - A failed remote run can retain its provider PID after heartbeat
releases the task execution lock.
> - Normal resumption excludes that PID, while restart recovery rejects
the released lock.
> - Recovery must reclaim that exact execution only after current
admission and durable ownership checks pass.
> - Failed retries and admission holds need separate finite budgets.
Neither can prove a provider stopped.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A failed remote native run remains in retryable failure without a task
execution owner. Normal resumption and restart recovery both reject it
before inspecting the preserved remote provider. The current remote
workspace reference format also misses the due-retry routing path.

**Expected behavior**

A due exact-checkpoint retry reclaims its original task execution only
when current ownership and safety gates permit it. Newer task input
prevents an old claim. Lost or ambiguous provider state still prevents
replay or replacement. Ineligible recovery eventually becomes a quiet
manual reconciliation obligation.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a remote native run and persist its provider checkpoint and
encrypted Runner authority.
2. Fail with exact-checkpoint recovery and a retained remote PID.
3. Release the task execution lock at heartbeat completion.
4. Run ordinary resumption and restart recovery after the retry
deadline.
5. Observe that both reject the same eligible run before remote
inspection.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced from source at `d59791828482`; integrated with upstream
`db9be4c5a6`.

**Deployment mode**

Remote workspaces with PostgreSQL. Local regressions use disposable
PostgreSQL and encrypted checkpoint persistence.

Related public repairs #18846, #18854, #18860 and #18841 cover finished
per-turn owners, pre-provider failures, unstarted follow-ups and storage
migration. They do not reclaim this failed run's released execution
lock. Merged #18879 also adds scheduled-resume lock retention and
reclaim. This PR keeps that compatibility and requires encrypted Runner
authority, canonical source ordering and a charged failed retry before
reclaim. Its scheduled-resume regression now uses a real encrypted
authority and retains a snapshot-only refusal control.

## What Changed

- Share normal admission checks and one guarded execution-binding
restore/event helper between normal and remote resumption.
- Keep agent-name normalization in a module with no imports. Preserve
heartbeat's existing export. Native admission no longer loads heartbeat
orchestration for a string key.
- Recheck company, assignment, agent eligibility, Stop, pause, approval,
dependencies, execution and checkout ownership before reclaim.
- Reject newer task input using PostgreSQL creation-time and ID
ordering, preserving timestamp precision.
- Require the recorded remote target, encrypted Runner authority, exact
checkpoint identity and existing controller fence.
- Commit task binding, controller lease, run status and recovery event
atomically. Recognize both remote workspace reference formats.
- Charge failed reattachments against the existing
three-provider-attempt budget, including retained-lock crash windows.
Active controller adoption preserves its charged attempt.
- Use the existing five-retry/30-minute system-recovery policy for
admission holds. Ended tasks and newer sources exhaust it immediately.
Preserve PID, checkpoint and task bindings, suppress resource
settlement, and assign manual reconciliation with executor stop/state
explicitly unverified.
- Register recovery intent before deadline writes; preserve live/future
deadlines quietly and roll back zero-row writes. Record changed hold
reasons once and terminal dispositions separately.
- Keep historical provider-budget exhaustion behind current
admission/source/controller/authority checks. Make an existing
orphan-cleanup fixture explicitly due.
- Include exact plugin task leases that have no workspace reference.
Reuse every reclaim and retry-budget guard, with a bounded
company/task/run lease projection.
- Share strict manual ownership proof across stale-lock cleanup,
adoption, queue release and wake admission. Require termination receipts
for every exact remote lease before normal cleanup can release either
binding.
- Preserve governing Stop through the existing audited cancellation
path. Its acknowledgement does not release an unverified provider.
Ordinary Retry can wait for exact Stop and file preservation, then queue
one continuation.

## Verification

- Current head is `5d7baf74aa89d00d7ac6e1493d38a6ce2ae7b7b5`. Its
[current CI
matrix](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41782198858)
is terminal and clean: 54 successful, three skipped and two neutral
contexts. Required `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e` pass. Greptile is 5/5 on
this exact head with no open findings. No fresh Paperclip 5/5 assessment
is claimed.
- The [prior complete CI
matrix](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41754365388)
passed on `3e641466d3edcaa6dd5021d979627082d388eb05`, with Greptile and
Paperclip both 5/5 and no open threads.
- All 233 tests across the six affected heartbeat, restart-isolation,
remote-admission, scheduled-resume and session-binding families pass on
production-identical `a5104fa89f9cb493091e000bf21ed3858871ae46` under
Node 24.22.2 and pnpm 9.15.4. They cover both workspace formats and
plugin task leases, competing controllers, exact rollback, Stop,
assignment/company boundaries, attempts, work-intent ordering, finite
backoff and quiet held state.
- The merge preserves #18931's per-run audit-failure isolation and this
PR's unchanged-transition hold. Two initial composition cases failed
because their setup or expected result described the older contract. The
rollback test now expects the exact per-run deferral while retaining
full coordinator equality and no work intent. The routine fixture writes
a real encrypted checkpoint through the normal owner before reaching the
actual routine unique constraint. No production admission guard or
rollback assertion was weakened. A separate agent reviewed this exact
merge and fixture delta without finding a blocker.
- Full recursive `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass on production
merge `89c616fe45ceff75db450f67fd34224b4df7441d`. Subsequent commits
change only three test files. Both the two-file `a5104fa` and final
`5d7baf` server test-layer typechecks pass.
- Four production-identical `a5104fa` probes pass with the rebuilt
actual Rust Runner, a scripted ACPX subprocess and encrypted PostgreSQL
checkpoints under Node 24.22.2. Workspace-reference and plugin-lease
admission each cover surviving and lost providers. Replacement preserves
one provider launch, one original side effect, the charged attempt and
restored task execution binding. Lost providers reject snapshot recovery
without replacement. This is protocol-boundary evidence, not a live
Claude or hosted provisioning claim.
- Initial `a5104fa` CI found one additional routine integration fixture
missing the persisted `exact_checkpoint_resume` mode. Its encrypted
checkpoint was already present. The exact case fails locally before
repair and passes after recording that mode and expecting the charged
provider attempt. Every exact routine conflict, rollback, checkpoint,
task binding, successor-count and sibling-startup assertion remains.
Final head changes only that fixture. The correct native-server group
passes all nine files: 175 executed cases and 14 container-only skips,
matching the now-successful native-server CI gate.
- The earlier canonical HTTP Retry acceptance passed on the prior
reviewed head with real PostgreSQL, the recovery worker and real files.
Pending Stop protects both bindings and starts no successor. Exact
termination and copyback queue one preserved-workspace continuation. No
browser or live-model outcome is inferred from that test.
- The predecessor's full local `pnpm test:run` failed in an unchanged
Discord Gateway fixture with a 200 ms lease and a 422 initial ownership
error. Focused predecessor and untouched-base controls pass; that
full-run cause remains unproved. The required command was also started
on production-identical `a5104fa`. All six local chat shards passed,
covering 1,850 cases. The duplicate local invocation was interrupted
with SIGINT while the general-server group was still running after this
head's complete CI and the combined repair qualification had passed. The
wrapper exited 1 on cancellation, no process retained its test log, and
no full local pass is claimed. An earlier attempt to select the native
lane through the CI wrapper instead selected local package sharding:
2,631 cases passed and 13 failed. Those separate failures are retained
without causal attribution or unrelated source changes; that run is not
counted as native-server qualification. The direct native group and
current complete CI matrix pass.
- Live Claude Opus 5.5 continuation, hosted plugin provisioning,
deployment and recovery of historical tasks remain unverified. No
original task was retried or mutated for this verification.

## Risks

- Restoring a task binding grants remote inspection; it does not prove
that the provider survived.
- Unknown effects, lost providers and missing semantic results retain
their existing reconciliation requirements.
- Exhausted admission holds preserve execution bindings and resource
evidence for manual reconciliation. They do not authorize a fresh
executor or provider/resource release.
- The source guard is conservative: newer task input prevents recovery
of an older failed source.
- No database migration or provider profile change is required.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, tool use, code editing and
shell execution. The runtime does not expose the exact model snapshot or
context window size.

Dotta 55d7df2bad fix(runtime): bound checkpoint data and preserve durable failed sessions (#18959)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Native Runner checkpoints preserve controller state across server
replacements.
> - Enrollment imports legacy controller state into those durable
checkpoints.
> - The importer passed extra source fields into each encrypted record,
duplicating the whole source and exhausting memory.
> - Some failed runs already had durable checkpoints but no session
snapshot. Re-importing them incorrectly required resumable state.
> - This PR stores only each record's binding and contents, and
preserves matching failed checkpoints without changing their recovery
status.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18957 and #18943.

**What happened?**

A 538-record migrated checkpoint stored 1,108,851,510 bytes of encrypted
material. Every record included the full 1.4 MB legacy source. Large
writes disconnected and later reads exhausted memory.

**Expected behavior**

Each encrypted record contains only its company, issue, run, part and
contents.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run offline controller migration with a retained controller that has
many commands. Decrypt a saved envelope and inspect its fields. The old
writer also includes the entire offline migration input.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `a1f3637c96dfadaf3a15ae9c83aa8227f4fed20e`.

## What Changed

- Serialize only company, issue, run, part and contents in encrypted
checkpoint envelopes.
- Preserve an already-durable failed checkpoint when its run, runner and
session match and the legacy session snapshot is absent. Keep its
failure, recovery blockers, owner and pointers unchanged.
- Report the number of failed checkpoints preserved during maintenance.
- Test exact encrypted contents, idempotent preservation after removing
the old home, and rejection of successful or foreign-session sources.
- Document the migration findings and verification boundaries.

## Verification

- The oversized-envelope regression failed before the serializer fix.
- The already-durable failed-source regression failed before the
preservation fix.
- Four focused test files: 44 tests passed. The migration suite passed
all 5 tests again after adding the foreign-session control.
- Server typecheck passed. Greptile reviewed `c4f02a064c` at 5/5 with no
findings. The exact-head PR workflow passed, including typecheck, build
and all required tests.
- Live staging repair preserved all 16 affected checkpoint sets: 2,982
records, 6,400,144,676 bytes reduced to 15,419,528 bytes. Each record
matched its legacy source and passed re-encryption verification.
Original encrypted rows and source files remain on the retained volume.
- Full hosted enrollment and active-agent deployment proof remain
pending. Deployment will follow the normal staging release pipeline.

## Risks

The serializer affects normal and migrated checkpoint writes. The
decoder already accepts the same five fields and continues to accept
older envelopes. Preservation applies only to a failed run with an
exact, validated durable checkpoint and no session snapshot; it grants
no new recovery authority. This change does not rewrite existing
database records automatically. Existing failures and missing provider
files remain failures until their owning recovery path resolves them.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip d12de135a7 fix(runtime): preserve legacy identities and bound checkpoint imports (#18957)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Ephemeral web servers must preserve native Runner sessions before
removing local storage.
> - Legacy session imports validate the workspace and saved provider
authority.
> - A protocol lease can retain a logical workspace ID while copy-back
uses a separate physical sandbox lease ID.
> - Comparing these different IDs blocks valid legacy sessions during
enrollment.
> - This pull request checks the workspace binding, retains the full
saved protocol identity check, and bounds checkpoint inserts inside the
owner transaction.
> - Existing sessions can migrate without changing their identity or
discarding files.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18943 and #18841.

**What happened?**

The first full staging enrollment stopped with
`native_controller_migration_artifact_binding`. A successful native
session had valid controller and provider-pack identities, but its
physical sandbox lease had a different ID.

**Expected behavior**

Import the original session when its workspace and saved provider
authority match. Reject foreign workspaces and protocol identities.

**Steps to reproduce**

Create a retained session whose sync record points to the execution
workspace and a separate physical lease. Run the offline controller
migration. The prior comparison rejects this valid record.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `84aa989bf9d08fc005ac273c37f9e1d860a4db25`.

**Deployment mode**

Docker with external PostgreSQL and shared object storage.

## What Changed

- Compare the sync record's workspace ID with the frozen execution
workspace.
- Keep the full saved provider-pack check for company, agent, workspace,
session, Runner, protocol lease, remote path, and provider digest.
- Use distinct physical and protocol IDs in the database-backed
migration fixture. Reject a foreign workspace and a changed protocol
lease before any checkpoint import.
- Limit migration inserts to 64 records and about 512 KiB of serialized
rows per statement. Send a larger individual record alone. Keep all
statements in the same transaction.
- Verify that a conflict in a later batch rolls back earlier batches,
then import and decrypt the complete checkpoint.
- Record both live failures and the comparison evidence in the
preservation plan.

## Verification

- The updated fixture failed on the original comparison and passes with
this fix.
- Targeted migration, controller recovery, and provider authority tests:
39 passed.
- Full repository typecheck and the latest server typecheck passed
locally. The complete PR workflow passed on `a1f3637c96` (run
41827558125), including build and test gates. The Docker Compose setup
download failed once before the test step; its infrastructure retry
passed. A separate full local test/build run is still in progress.
- A read-only staging preflight inspected 807 selected legacy sessions.
It found zero mismatches under the corrected workspace and full
saved-provider checks.
- A single 538-record, 2.2 MB checkpoint insert repeatedly closed the
live database connection on pooled and direct endpoints. A
forced-rollback comparison imported the identical checkpoint with
batches of 64. An unbatched control failed again after cache warm-up.
The exact server-side disconnect cause remains unknown; all failed
receipts are retained.
- The original failed enrollment and volume are retained. The corrected
importer committed 32 additional sessions and 2,982 checkpoint records.
Full import and deploy handoff remain pending while memory use is
investigated.

## Risks

The import checks durable session authority. A weaker identity check
could import the wrong session. This change retains the saved provider
authority validation and adds an explicit foreign-protocol rejection
test. Batching adds statements for large imports, but a late failure
still rolls back the complete owner transaction. It does not rewrite
session identity, change provider lifecycle, or detach any volume.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 84aa989bf9 Preserve native sessions through legacy workspace enrollment (#18943)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A native session retains its workspace and provider session across
turns.
> - An ephemeral web server must restore those files without its
predecessor's disk.
> - Legacy enrollment changes the workspace authority and can change
both workspace addresses.
> - The retained provider backup checks those addresses as part of its
identity.
> - This pull request preserves the exact addresses in a verified
migration receipt.
> - The benefit is that the next turn can use the original session after
enrollment.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18932, merged as `612d9931a6`. This pull request builds on that
all-Runner durability change. Related: #18918 fixes concurrent workspace
preservation locks. This change covers identity preservation during
offline enrollment.

## What Changed

- The native workspace migration owner records the selected session
bindings in the successful workspace migration operation.
- Runtime selection retains the original logical address only for the
exact agent, task and session.
- Remote workspace preparation restores the original provider address.
It refuses conflicting targets, forged receipts and occupied unowned
roots.
- The environment owner includes the migration operation in the reusable
lease fingerprint. Warm policy stays warm and receives a fresh
allocation through normal lease cleanup.
- Exact migration evidence permits the existing verified provider backup
to restore into that fresh warm allocation.
- Preserve verified provider allocation files through a normalized,
lease-bound digest receipt. Unknown files and altered markers remain
refused; interrupted publication is retryable.
- Retain legacy managed-instruction session fingerprints using the exact
imported content hash and recorded paths, preserving all other
configuration and credential checks.
- Migrate existing local skill archive/manifest objects through upload
claims, readback verification and receipt compare-and-swap; retain
original objects and IDs.
- Add explicit two-turn browser qualification for every released native
Daytona profile, with warm and per-turn variants. The production
maintenance entry runs offline. The old home is deleted only after a
verified export and successor readiness. The oracle checks provider
identity, native session, addresses, reference bytes, question and final
document.

## Verification

- Full repository typecheck passed at `b12ecd823e`. The production
session fix passed 198 session/credential tests. Full repository build
passed at `94bb917947`. The final Rust-only provider fix passed 57 ACPX
provider tests and the exact Linux release build.
- Workspace and transport checks passed: 117 transport/workspace tests,
six final real PostgreSQL migration boundary cases, 178 environment
tests, 539 Daytona tests (eight skips), and the native warm-backup
admission control.
- Local skill migration passed eight PostgreSQL/S3 tests (one existing
opt-in skip). Failed readback retains the source. Successful readback
still works after deletion of the old home.
- Latest Product E2E typecheck and 38 focused harness tests pass.
Earlier catalog/admission/report checks passed. Twelve unrelated
support-test failures reproduce on unchanged base `1a39dea9aa`; these
are not reported as passing.
- Live Codex per-turn at `2d5bb9a6d1` retained the native and provider
sessions, both workspace paths and exact reference bytes after deletion
of the old home. It completed the task and delivered its saved document
and original reference. Its original failure was an output-count grading
defect. The corrected grader passes all 21 checks against retained,
hashed evidence; the original result remains unchanged.
- Live OpenCode per-turn and Codex warm at harness `94bb917947` pass all
21 product checks. Their launcher cleanup failed because a read-only
diagnostic observer kept its disposable database open. The observer now
closes before ordinary database cleanup; a no-provider reproduction
confirms the fix. All owned sandboxes were independently verified
absent, child keys revoked and buckets removed. Original failed campaign
dispositions remain unchanged.
- Claude at `94bb917947` kept its sessions and reference bytes but
omitted the final clickable document link. That user-delivery failure
remains recorded. The fixture now explicitly asks for the link and
records migration evidence before checking navigation. The fresh Claude
attempt at `b12ecd823e` passed both strict migration checks: exact
provider/native session, both paths, original file bytes and
independently downloaded attachment. Its full browser workflow failed
again: it requested unnecessary confirmation, used the answer sentence
as the reference, and omitted the clickable document link. This is
retained as a failed user-workflow result, not a full pass.
- Earlier live failures exposed and reproduced the skill-object,
fresh-allocation marker and managed-instruction fingerprint bugs. The
fixes retain original identity checks. No provider session reset or
accounting bypass was used.
- The real Grok continuation at `b12ecd823e` failed before provider
execution because its immutable-instruction attach policy rejected
relocated registered file copies. A no-provider regression reproduced
the exact rejection. `b05ba3728a` selects the existing strict
authenticated asset-path policy for Grok; content digests, unknown
context fields, session/workspace identity and same-run mutations remain
enforced. The regression and all 57 ACPX provider controls pass. The
Grok browser migration now passes all 21 checks with the b05 Linux
Runner, including provider identity, exact reference bytes and final
user output; the launcher also reports successful cleanup.
- `24fabf1d81` applies the same policy to released ACPX Codex after a
second no-provider reproduction. All 58 ACPX provider controls and the
final Linux release build pass. Its live browser migration passes all 21
checks on the final binary, including exact original session/file
preservation and completed user output.
- The full native-session executor suite passes all 1,121 tests after
updating its existing lease database fixture for the migration-receipt
join. The prior CI failure was this unsupported test-double method; the
production guard still rejects ordinary unproven recovery. CI and
Greptile 5/5 passed at `ca1e0d5fe6`. The first CI attempt lost several
workers and had one rotated-recovery transport failure; its seven
descriptor cases passed locally, and the single unchanged retry passed.
The original failure remains recorded. Staging enrollment has not
started. Initial offline enrollment and subsequent rolling availability
are separate checks.

- The final review follow-up adds real runtime-selection PostgreSQL
cases for exact, different-session and absent receipts, plus
executor-level warm restoration that copies actual backup files and
verifies provider identity and the new lease stamp. Both complete
affected suites pass (1,172 tests), and full repository typecheck
passes. Removing either production migration connection independently
makes its new positive case fail; both source files were restored
byte-for-byte after these negative controls.

- Final commit `0971d373a3` passes all 63 checks (57 successes, five
expected skips, one neutral); Greptile is 5/5 and every review thread is
resolved.

## Risks

- An identity conflict blocks enrollment and keeps the original files.
It does not silently reset the session.
- A new migration generation retires a reusable lease through its
existing owner. The original sandbox must finish normal cleanup before
reuse proceeds.
- Initial enrollment has an offline step. The separate rolling suites
prove uninterrupted deploy behavior after enrollment.
- This adds no schema migration and changes no provider credentials or
accounting gate.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The exact serving model build and context
window are not exposed in this session. The agent used reasoning,
terminal tools, code edits, PostgreSQL/filesystem tests and isolated
live browser qualification.

DottaandPaperclip 612d9931a6 Support per-turn Runner sessions on ephemeral web servers (#18932)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The web server controls native Runner sessions in remote sandboxes.
> - An ephemeral web server must recover without its previous local
filesystem.
> - The existing admission rule accepts warm sessions. Managed Claude,
Grok, and OpenCode sessions resolve to per-turn execution.
> - Per-turn execution also needs durable provider-session bytes after
the sandbox is retired.
> - This pull request adds encrypted backup publication and removes the
warm-only admission rule.
> - Both lifecycle modes can use the existing native ownership and
checkpoint contracts during a web deployment.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #18518, #18529, #18826, #18835, #18841, #18864, #18887.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Native Runner execution on web servers with
`PAPERCLIP_EPHEMERAL_SERVER=true`.

**Current behavior**

The admission rule requires a warm Runner lifecycle. Managed provider
credentials can resolve an agent to per-turn execution, so enabling the
ephemeral deployment profile blocks those turns. A database controller
checkpoint does not preserve provider files after the old web home and
per-turn sandbox are removed.

**Proposed behavior**

Admit native execution in either resolved lifecycle. Keep provider and
credential choices unchanged. Publish encrypted provider state to shared
storage before sandbox cleanup. Restore it from a fresh web home for the
next turn. Use the existing controller lease and generation checks for
active takeover.

**Reason and benefit**

Operators can remove the web server volume without excluding per-turn
providers or forcing managed accounts into warm sessions. New native
Daytona profiles automatically enter both rolling-deployment
qualification lanes.

**Breaking changes**

The additive migration creates a backup publication ledger. Existing
volume-backed local-disk installations retain their local backup path.
S3 installations publish encrypted backups and require a stable secrets
master key. Existing-volume enrollment must import surviving session
data before detaching the volume.

## What Changed

- Admit native Runner execution independently of its warm or per-turn
lifecycle. Keep host-owned legacy execution excluded from ephemeral
deployments.
- Store private provider state as encrypted objects. Journal uploads
before I/O, read them back, and fence publication against the current
native owner. Keep the previous published backup when storage or
ownership checks fail.
- Restore exact provider bytes into a private cache. Require an exact
durable backup before sandbox cleanup. Extend the existing bounded
retention pass to retire stored objects without adding idle polling.
- Import selected legacy controller and provider state in the existing
offline maintenance process. Preserve queued work, task pointers,
pending recovery, and original files. Prefer canonical database
checkpoints.
- Preserve already-failed legacy controllers with missing original
artifact proof as encrypted archives. These archives do not become
execution authority. Successful retained sessions still require proof.
Report archival and executable imports separately.
- Verify unmanaged Grok API keys through the existing xAI account
validator. The live test exposed a readiness gap that kept remote Grok
agents paused after platform checks. Preserve failed credentials and the
separate runtime warning.
- Ingest Grok whole-prompt usage at the owning ACP boundary. Bind the
receipt to the exact outbound request/session; reject replay, conflicts,
and incomplete authority. Separate turn cost from cumulative session
cost in the sidecar schema and Rust normalization. Preserve managed
billing identity and identify direct xAI API credentials.
- Preserve published workspace directory names across cold allocations,
including destroyed-allocation cleanup. Keep unpublished epoch/lease
directories isolated and refuse to overwrite an occupied preparation.
This fixes the cold-session identity regression exposed by #18922.
- Increase bounded checkpoint-header inspection to 1 MiB. Retain the
aggregate inspection limit.
- Register all nine native Daytona profiles in per-turn and warm
rolling-deployment suites. Delete the entire departing server home,
exercise ordinary reads and writes, require active ownership transfer,
then check a later turn on another fresh server. Permit only exact
notification replay after reconnect.

Ownership stays with the existing modules: Runner validates its protocol
state; Core validates run scope and controller ownership; storage owns
object I/O; the maintenance process owns offline conversion; the E2E
wrapper owns process replacement and probes. No provider protocol is
added to the shared admission rule. Grok receipt parsing stays in its
provider module. The shared sidecar gains an explicit cost basis because
its existing price field means session-cumulative spend, while Grok
reports prompt totals. Existing consumers retain cumulative behavior
when the new field is absent.

## Verification

- Focused native admission, archive validation, publication fencing,
cleanup, readiness, legacy import, and E2E observer tests pass. Real
PostgreSQL cases verify that queued intent and historical recovery rows
stay unchanged.
- Full typecheck and build pass on the rebased branch. The review
follow-up passes server typecheck, 29 focused
PostgreSQL/archive/readiness tests, and module-boundary checks. Revision
fb8d39a7a1 reached 55 successful CI checks and Greptile 5/5 with no
unresolved threads. The Grok follow-up passes Runner/server typechecks,
238 ACP runtime/projection/usage tests, 16 sidecar-schema tests, the
Rust cost regression, and Core billing regression. The e9aae9cf revision
passed all 57 successful checks, with 5 skips and 2 neutral checks, and
exact-head Greptile 5/5. The latest 9cbec30a4f follow-up changes only
E2E catalog/admission controls; its 291 affected tests pass, all 57
check contexts succeeded (5 skips, 2 neutral), and exact-head Greptile
is 5/5 with no open review threads.
- Migration numbering and safety checks pass.
- A local real PostgreSQL/S3 roundtrip preserved 2,870,101,591 payload
bytes across 89,100 archive entries after deleting the source directory.
Restored SHA-256 matched; upload/readback took 56.5 seconds, restore
74.8 seconds, process peak RSS was 1.40 GB, and all fixture resources
were removed.
- Archives preserve contained relative links, reject link
chains/traversal, and enforce independent byte/entry/object limits.
Offline verification streams hashes. Orphaned deleted-run backups stay
on the original volume. Obsolete object retention preserves the selected
backup, live lease references, and pending uploads with owners.
- Isolated API-key Codex deployment: original active runner/session
transferred to the replacement and committed. All 567 reads, 57 writes,
and 57 readbacks succeeded. A second replacement completed a
same-session continuation with all 287 reads and 29 writes succeeding.
The strict cell failed two agent-authored shell commands; this result is
retained as failed.
- Isolated API-key Claude deployment: original active runner/session
transferred and committed. All 584 reads, 59 writes, and 59 readbacks
succeeded. A second replacement completed a same-provider-session
continuation, with 211 reads and 22 writes succeeding. The strict cell
failed an initial completion call that omitted a registered attachment
citation; the agent corrected it. This result is retained as failed.
- Isolated API-key OpenCode deployment: the same active runner/session
transferred and committed. All 481 reads, 49 writes, and 49 readbacks
succeeded. A second replacement retained the provider session and
completed useful work, with 156 reads and 16 writes succeeding. The
strict cell failed agent tool calls: a denied external-directory write,
malformed artifact hashes, and a second completion after the first
result was committed. There was one submitted/completed turn and one
committed result; reconnect notification replay was identical. This
result is retained as failed.
- Grok's real first turn now completes with settled usage and provider
cost ($0.41397); the next turn is admitted normally. That attempt then
exposed a shared workspace-path identity regression before deployment.
Three cold-restore cases reproduced it before the fix; 106
workspace/transport tests and four focused cold-restore cases pass
afterward, including destroyed allocation and occupied-directory
preservation. Server typecheck and build pass. At b5b0dbb03f both
controller switches passed the read/write probe without failure, and the
active runner retained its process while the controller generation
advanced. The third turn exposed an invalid reasoning-token subset
check; ad07e681ba fixes it with the actual receipt regression. Two later
live attempts failed with an upstream Grok rate limit before deployment.
A tiny preflight prompt succeeded before the second attempt, but the
full workload was still rate-limited. The final live gate remains
incomplete. No accounting or identity guard was bypassed. Earlier failed
attempts and their exact resource-cleanup receipts remain recorded.
- Earlier Codex/Claude/OpenCode receipts predate #18922; they establish
their tested revisions. Current-head live qualification remains pending;
#18943 separately preserves pre-enrollment logical/provider workspace
addresses and adds actual legacy migration proof. Its first Codex
migration attempt stopped safely at skill-version verification.
- Earlier attempts remain recorded: missing local provider-pack setup
blocked one Claude launch, and the observer rejected identical reconnect
replay in another. Setup and the observer were corrected before the
latest run.
- Named staging enrollment has not started. Its serving revision and
post-deployment journeys remain separate delivery gates.

- Broader E2E harness validation exposed deployment-catalog and
installed-lane coverage drift; the affected 291 controls now pass.
Twelve other failures reproduce on unchanged base 1a39dea9aa. They
concern cleanup call expectations, dated operating-overhead fixtures, a
Pi profile-version expectation and workflow-security expectations. No
baseline failure is reported as passing.

## Risks

- Provider archives can contain credentials. Objects use authenticated
encryption with scoped associated data and a wrapped data key. The
original stable master key remains required.
- Storage failure prevents publication and sandbox cleanup. Operators
must keep shared storage available and preserve the previous volume
during enrollment.
- Legacy state without verified identity cannot become executable
recovery authority. Archival preserves evidence and existing failures;
it does not recover already-lost provider files or clear blocked tasks.
- Local overlap probes establish the tested application behavior. They
do not establish Railway routing behavior or live managed-subscription
qualification.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, tool use, code execution,
and live integration tests. The exact runtime variant and context-window
size are not exposed in this session.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 6c7b136b16 fix(native): keep startup recovery running when one run's claim fails (#18931)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - At startup, the server runs native restart recovery before it
reports ready. Recovery claims each interrupted or retryable native run
in its own transaction.
> - On one instance, one run's claim hit the routine execution unique
index. The error escaped restart recovery, startup recovery failed
closed, health stayed "still starting", and two deploys rolled back.
> - #18916 fixed that exact conflict: it defers the run when its claim
hits `issues_open_routine_execution_uq`. Any other error in one run's
claim still aborts the whole pass, and so does a failed per-run audit
write.
> - This pull request handles every per-run claim failure the way #18916
handles the routine conflict, and keeps a failed audit write from
stopping committed claims.
> - The benefit is that one bad row cannot keep the server from becoming
ready, and no run is claimed or changed when its claim fails.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18916. This change generalizes its catch: #18916 keeps the
routine-conflict disposition (`routine_execution_busy`) exactly as it
is, and this change adds a separate reason for any other per-run
failure. It does not change how the routine conflict is detected or
deferred. Refs #18879, whose lock reclaim exposed the startup failure.
Refs #18877 (open), which edits other parts of the same files. This
change touches only the claim's error path and the audit loop, so a
second merge needs at most a small rebase.

**What happened?**

Two deploys never became healthy. About 25 seconds after the listener
bound, the boot log showed `startup native runner restart recovery
failed closed` and `startup heartbeat recovery failed`, both from a
failed `update "issues" set "execution_run_id" = ...` that violated
`issues_open_routine_execution_uq`. #18916 now defers that violation.
Any other error in one run's claim (another constraint, a trigger, a
timeout) still escapes `claimNativeRestartRecoveries` and fails startup
the same way. #18916's own test asserts this: "Other database failures
still fail the recovery pass."

**Expected behavior**

One run's recovery failure is logged and recorded on that run, and the
rest of startup recovery continues. The server becomes ready. Only a
failure of the candidate scan itself fails the pass.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a native run that is due for restart recovery, and make its
claim fail (the new test uses a trigger on `native_run_finalizations`).
2. Add a healthy run that is due for restart recovery.
3. Run restart recovery for both. On `master` the batch throws and the
healthy run is not claimed.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `4a83ba4050f`.

**Deployment mode**

Any server that runs startup native restart recovery.

## What Changed

- `claimNativeRestartRecoveries`: #18916's `.catch` on each candidate's
claim transaction no longer rethrows other errors. The whole claim has
rolled back, so the run's state is unchanged and nothing is claimed. The
run gets `awaiting_evidence` with the same 30-second retry deadline. The
reason stays `routine_execution_busy` for the routine slot conflict, and
is the new `restart_recovery_failed` for any other error, which is
logged at error level. The batch continues.
- `recoverNativeRunsAfterRestart`: records a `restart_recovery_failed`
deferral as a warning transition on the run ("Native restart recovery
failed for this run and will retry"). A failed `getRun` or transition
write is logged and no longer stops the dispatch of claims that already
committed.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: replaces "Other database failures still
fail the recovery pass" with the per-run rule.

## Verification

- Failing first: `native-restart-recovery-isolation.test.ts` (new,
PostgreSQL). It seeds the reported shape (two open tasks of one routine:
the older with a due scheduled resume and a cleared lock, the newer
holding the lock), a run whose claim fails through a trigger, and a
healthy run. On `master` the batch threw `injected recovery claim
failure`. Now the routine run is deferred with `routine_execution_busy`
and the failing run with `restart_recovery_failed`, and both keep their
coordinator, attempt and locks. The healthy run is claimed.
`recoverNativeRunsAfterRestart` completes and records an info transition
for the routine run and a warning transition for the failing run.
- Two existing tests expected the pass to reject on one run's failure:
#18916's unrelated-constraint test, and failed-workspace retention's
rollback test. They now expect the per-run deferral. Their rollback
checks (no claim, unchanged coordinator, lease, lock and recovery
actions) are unchanged, and the unrelated failure still does not become
a routine wait.
- `cd server && npx vitest run` over restart recovery (isolation,
integration, diskless, preparation), controller recovery, heartbeat
recovery, scheduled resume lock, failed-workspace recovery, startup
cleanup, native resumption, live recovery work, startup feedback export,
recovery deadlines, runtime selection, stop accounting, warm transition
restart, workspace reconstruction, remote workspace migration and
heartbeat process recovery: all pass except one.
`heartbeat-process-recovery` "redacts opaque environment-bound
credentials from Sentry diagnostics: result" fails the same way on
unmodified `master` on this host (a local environment value is
redacted).
- Review round 1: two `heartbeat/recovery.test.ts` cases make `getRun`
and then `appendRunEvent` fail for a deferred run while a committed
claim is in the same batch. Recovery completes and dispatches the claim
exactly once; the `appendRunEvent` case also checks the warning
transition. Both fail when the catches are removed. In one of four full
runs of that file, the unrelated orphan-cleanup case "reconstructs
missing native preservation during orphan cleanup without replay:
reuse_by_environment" failed; it passed alone and in the other three
full runs.
- After the rebase onto `4a83ba4050f`: the isolation and
failed-workspace recovery tests and `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server
typecheck` pass.
- Not verified: a deploy to a real instance.

## Risks

- A persistent per-run error now retries every 30 seconds and logs an
error each time, instead of stopping startup. The run stays unclaimed,
so ownership does not change.
- If the database fails for every candidate's claim, startup recovery
now completes with every run deferred, instead of failing closed. The
candidate scan still fails closed, and the deferred runs retry on their
deadlines.
- No schema migration.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) through Claude Code, with tool use
(shell, file edits, test runs). The runtime does not expose the context
window or reasoning configuration.

DottaandPaperclip e7549ab613 fix(runtime): defer native routine recovery collisions (#18916)
Treat the exact routine execution unique conflict as a pending recovery obligation after the complete losing transaction rolls back. Preserve the current routine owner, provider attempt and checkpoint, and continue the startup batch. Cover real constraint failures, row preservation, one reclaim after release and unrelated database failures.

DottaandPaperclip e2dc2cc0be fix(native): retire idle shared-sandbox ingress owners before dispatch (#18893)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents and their tasks.
> - Native tasks can share one reusable sandbox workspace.
> - A completed child can keep its provider process warm.
> - A parent has its own logical session, but the sandbox has one
ingress listener.
> - Retirement by task identity leaves the child's listener in place.
> - A new parent Runner then fails to bind that listener.
> - This pull request retires a proven idle physical owner before the
parent's distinct session starts.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #15353 and #17097 for listener configuration and warm transport
rotation. Refs #18682 for owned process retirement. #18860 repairs a
different resume-source failure. Searches found no existing repair for
retained warm sessions on different tasks that share the same physical
ingress allocation.

**What happened?**

A completed child and a later parent can use the same reusable sandbox.
Warm-session retirement compares logical task ownership. It does not
find the child's distinct task scope. The child keeps the fixed ingress
listener, and the parent's new process fails with
`runner_ingress_bind_conflict` / address already in use.

**Expected behavior**

A parent must start in its own logical session after the proven idle
prior listener closes. Active, foreign or unverified owners must remain
protected.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the `retires the completed child listener` cases in
`native-session-executor.test.ts`. The actual executor registers a warm
child. PostgreSQL holds its committed, accounted result and clean
expired lease. A distinct parent receives the same allocation and
current workspace writer. The provider boundary uses real TCP listeners.
The original executor reaches the second bind with the child still
listening and fails with EADDRINUSE. The changed executor waits for the
owned close, then starts the distinct parent session.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on ab2d2098a2. The branch
includes current master 44a4ca1c61 before this PR was opened.

**Deployment mode**

Native Runner with provider ingress on a reusable sandbox workspace.
Local regression uses real PostgreSQL and local TCP with a controlled
provider-process boundary. No hosted provider call was made.

## What Changed

- Keep physical ingress identity separate from logical task/session
ownership. Never attach the parent to the child's session.
- Reserve a physical allocation during local admission. Retire a
distinct warm owner only after canonical company, agent, workspace,
provider, allocation, lease, task and coordinator checks pass.
- Require the current remote workspace writer and location to match the
admitted run. Require the prior run to be committed and accounted, with
its original controller generation and a clean released or expired
lease.
- Use the existing close, checkpoint and stopped-file collection path.
Wait for close before parent dispatch, then recheck canonical authority
before staging files or calling the parent backend. Retain the entry
when close is uncertain.
- Add actual executor/PostgreSQL/TCP safety cases and document the
contract. Keep maps unchanged for this bug fix.

## Verification

- Untouched production at ab2d2098: actual executor + PostgreSQL + TCP
fails EADDRINUSE. Same positive case passes after the change.
- Final focused suite: 20 passed. It covers distinct parent session
identity; foreign company, allocation and workspace; active or
unaccounted owner; changed controller; reassignment; competing
lease/writer; stale allocation metadata; Stop before and after claim;
workspace-lock race; failed close that leaves the listener and accepted
result intact; and controller transfer, Stop or writer change during
awaited close. These last cases reject the stale parent before backend
invocation after the old listener closes.
- Untouched head3425acbe: transferring the incoming coordinator during
close still reaches the parent backend. The same actual
executor/PostgreSQL/TCP case passes after the post-close authority
check.
- Broader `native warm session supervision` suite: 160 passed. This run
preceded the final two-line logical-session collision guard; the final
20-case suite includes that guard.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`: all source and test
layers passed, including `src/__tests__`.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server build`: production server and
Runner build passed at current head572acfef79. The exact-head build
stamp is recorded.
- The provider/close boundary is controlled. The fixture seeds canonical
committed/accounted finalization data in PostgreSQL. These tests do not
claim a live model result, operator ACK, hosted PID-to-listener
identity, or recovery of a historical task.
- Full repository pnpm checks were not run locally for this server-only
slice. Required current-head CI and reviews are pending.

## Risks

The new retirement path can close a process from another task. It
requires the same canonical company, agent, allocation and workspace, a
current exclusive writer, and a completed idle owner. Missing or changed
evidence leaves admission blocked. Active owners, changed generations,
reassignment and cancellation remain fenced. A failed close retains the
owner and saved result.

This covers current-controller warm entries with recorded physical
identity. Historical processes outside the registry keep the existing
exact-owner recovery requirements. No port shuffle, port kill, task
capability expansion, new polling loop or invented receipt is added.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol (`gpt-6.1-sol`) in Codex, with source editing,
terminal execution and tool use. The host did not report its
context-window size.

Nicky LeachandClaude 8fd917aedf fix(native): accept late provider notices in recovery (#18890)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native Runner sessions keep a provider conversation across task
turns.
> - When a later run gets a new task lease, recovery must prove that the
prior run settled.
> - Recovery required `run.terminal` to be the last committed event.
> - A provider can send a late notification for a settled turn. The
Runner then records a `provider.notice.recorded` warning after
`run.terminal`.
> - This false denial stranded a clean session. The notice stays in the
journal, so each later run on that session meets the same denial.
> - This pull request lets recovery accept a recoverable notice after
the terminal event. All other new events still block recovery.
> - The benefit is that a late warning no longer ends session
continuity. A denial now also names the check that failed.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No issue exists. I searched open and closed pull requests and issues for
the error code, the event name and the function name. I found no
duplicate.

**What happened?**

A run failed in about nine seconds with `runner_state_identity_mismatch:
plugin_checkpoint_recovery_unproven`. No provider work started. The
prior run had finished and was committed as succeeded. Its journal had
one `provider.notice.recorded` warning, "ignored a notification for a
settled Codex turn", 1 ms after `run.terminal`. A second session had the
same warning about 61 seconds after a normally completed turn.

**Expected behavior**

Recovery accepts the session and continues the provider conversation. A
recoverable notice does not start work, so it must not block recovery.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a warm native session in a plugin sandbox environment.
2. Finish a run so that a provider notice follows `run.terminal` in the
journal.
3. Wait until the idle timeout stops the Runner task and releases the
lease.
4. Start the next run on that session. It gets a new task lease.
5. The run fails with the error above. The notice stays in the journal,
so a retry on the same session meets the same denial.

The `local-receipt-late-notice` test mode in
`native-session-executor.test.ts` reproduces this failure on the unfixed
code.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Observed on `d8a9b3eb0c`. The same check is on `master` before this
change.

**Deployment mode**

Cloud deployment, with a native Runner in a plugin sandbox environment.

## What Changed

- `isSettledRemoteWarmControlState` accepts a `provider.notice.recorded`
event after the terminal event. The notice must be recoverable and have
`info` or `warning` severity. It must come from the same runner, run,
session and lease.
- Error notices, unrecoverable notices, notices from another source and
new work still block recovery.
- Checkpoint recovery and local quiescent recovery now use this
function. They no longer have separate checks that require
`run.terminal` to be the last event.
- Each checkpoint recovery denial adds a specific reason after the
existing code, for example `plugin_checkpoint_recovery_unproven:
journal_not_settled`. The `runner_state_identity_mismatch: ` prefix does
not change.
- I reworded the existing comment on `isSettledRemoteWarmControlState`
so that it stays correct. I added no new code comments.

## Verification

- **Failure before the fix:** I added the tests first and ran them on
the unfixed code. 38 tests failed. In the 4 `local-receipt-late-notice`
cases, checkpoint recovery rejected with
`runner_state_identity_mismatch`. In the `late provider notice` case,
quiescent recovery rejected with `quarantine_owner_unverified`. The new
unit test for notices also failed. The other 32 failures were assertions
for the new denial reasons.
- **Targeted tests after the fix:** 134 tests passed, with 987 skipped
by the filter.
- `cd server && pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/remote-warm-session-recovery.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts -t "settled
remote warm control evidence|recovers a blocked|automatically recovers
only a proven settled local session"`
- **Type error found in review:** Vitest does not check types, and my
first version passed these tests. Review of the diff showed an
incompatible `identity` parameter type. I changed that type to
`Record<string, unknown>`.
- **After the type change:** `remote-warm-session-recovery.test.ts`
passed (23 tests) and `pnpm run typecheck` in `server` passed. I did not
run the 134 tests again, because this change affected only types.
- **Real data, read-only:** I ran the new function on 285 session
journals from a test deployment. The result changed for 2 journals.
These are the 2 stranded sessions, and each has only provider notices
after `run.terminal`.
- **Not run locally:** I did not run the full test suite. I stopped a
run of the wider native-runtime test files before it reported a result.
CI provides the full regression coverage.
- **Not verified:** no live run has reached `read_state` on a stranded
session after this fix. The tests use a fixture for that call.

## Risks

- **Stricter identity check:** checkpoint and quiescent recovery now
also require the journal's saved identity to match. Recovery reads this
identity from the same file, so only damaged state should fail this
check.
- **Wider goal snapshot rule:** these two paths now accept idle goal
snapshots after the terminal event. Warm handoff already used this rule.
- **Wider notice rule:** warm handoff and the settled projection check
also accept recoverable notices now. A notice does not start work, and
the checks for pending commands and unanswered tool input stay in place.
- **Longer error text:** code that compares the full
`plugin_checkpoint_recovery_unproven` message for equality would stop
matching. I found no other reference to this code in the repository.
- **Stranded sessions:** these sessions need no data repair. They can
still fail with `checkpoint_not_settled` if the sandbox checkpoint is
not clean.
- **Migrations:** this change has no migration.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 4e29f00139 fix(native): keep settled ACPX sessions across Runner upgrades and run scheduled resumes (#18879)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native Runner keeps one ACPX provider conversation across the
per-turn runs of a task. Each run cold-attaches the session that the
previous run settled.
> - The saved ACPX state binds the digest of the launch profile that
wrote it. Every deploy ships a new provider pack, so that digest
changes.
> - After a deploy, the next run of such a task fails `run.attach` with
`ACPX durable launch profile digest does not match runner startup`.
Every same-run retry fails the same way.
> - On one instance this happened seven times. Six tasks used their
retry budget and ended blocked, or in progress with no runner. In the
seventh, the scheduled same-run resume never ran at all: the task stayed
`in_progress` with nothing running, and its monitor did not fire.
> - This pull request re-binds a settled session to the upgraded launch
profile, types the remaining mismatches so the server stops retrying
them, and makes a scheduled remote resume survive the stale-lock sweep.
> - The benefit is that a task continues its conversation after a
deploy. When it cannot, it stops with a clear next action instead of
stalling.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18846, #18847, #18854 and #18860 (nearby native recovery changes).
Refs #15795, an open change to the same stale-lock sweep function. It
changes run teardown, not lock cleanup, so a second merge needs at most
a small rebase.

**What happened?**

A per-turn native task used provider `acpx` with Claude, driver
`acpx_runtime`, on a remote sandbox.

1. Run A succeeded and settled its provider session. The next run with
the same build cold-attached it.
2. The instance deployed a new build.
3. A board approval woke run B in a fresh sandbox. Run B failed after
about five minutes: `native_session_recovery_failed: Error: PRP command
run.attach failed: {...
"result":{"code":"command_execution_failed","message":"ACPX durable
launch profile digest does not match runner startup"}}`.
4. The coordinator recorded `retryable_failure`, attempt 1,
`native_session_interrupted`, recovery mode `exact_checkpoint_resume`,
recovery state `resuming_session`, and a retry 30 seconds later.
5. Two seconds after the failure, the stale-lock sweep cleared the
task's execution and checkout locks, because run B was `failed`.
6. Forty minutes later the attempt was still 1. The scheduled monitor
had not fired. The task stayed `in_progress` with nothing running.

**Expected behavior**

A session that the previous run settled continues after a deploy. If it
cannot continue, the run stops at once with a clear next action. A
scheduled resume either runs or fails visibly.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Save a suspended ACPX session under one launch profile.
2. Change the sidecar bytes and the provider-pack authority at the same
paths.
3. Cold-attach the next run in a new runner. Restore fails with the
digest mismatch.
4. For the stall: leave a remote native run `failed` with a due
`retryable_failure` coordinator, run the stale-lock sweep, then run
restart recovery for that run. It returns `blocked:
issue_execution_lock_changed` and writes nothing.

The new Rust and PostgreSQL tests run these steps.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `b0c4e345267`.

**Deployment mode**

Native Runner, per-turn lifecycle, remote sandbox. The re-bind applies
to every ACPX agent with an ordinary startup.

## What Changed

### Root causes

- **Upgrade failure.** `AcpxLaunchProfile::canonical_digest` hashes the
provider-pack authority, the sidecar command and arguments, each
artifact path and SHA-256, and any candidate admission. For a remote
sandbox the authority is the provider-pack manifest digest, which covers
the Runner source revision and dist digest. So every deploy changes it.
`AcpxDurableState` stores only the digest, and `validate()` rejects any
difference. Only a Kimi candidate run binding had a carve-out.
- **Silent stall.** The failure write keeps the task locks for
`retryable_failure` and clears them only for `terminal_failure`. The
stale-lock sweep treats any `failed` run as cleanable, so it cleared
them. A remote retry goes through `claimNativeRestartRecoveries`. That
claim requires `issues.execution_run_id` to name the run, so it returned
`blocked: issue_execution_lock_changed` with no coordinator write and no
deadline. The live recovery queue then dropped the entry. The local
claim (`claimNativeSessionResumptions`) already reclaims a free lock, so
only remote runs stalled.
- **Monitor.** `noActiveNativeMonitorRun` holds a task's monitor while
any native run for it has a coordinator that is not `committed` or
`terminal_failure`. Run B's `retryable_failure` held it. That is by
design; it ends when the resume runs.

### Runner (Rust)

- `rebinds_settled_session` in `acpx_provider_backend.rs`. Restore
re-binds a saved session to the current launch profile only when all of
these are true:
- The lifecycle is `suspended` and an identity exists. There is no
active turn, pending runtime request, undelivered provider event, or
unconfirmed provider exit.
  - The startup has no candidate admission.
- The saved descriptor's sidecar command and arguments equal this
startup's.
- Any other digest mismatch keeps failing with the same message, plus
`classification: "provider_state_incompatible"` in the durable command
result. `DurableRunnerError` carries an optional closed classification
for this.
- A saved descriptor that names an agent release this build does not
qualify (ACPX version, agent server package or version, or command
digest) also gets the class. `validate_session()` and its message are
unchanged; restore only adds the class.

### Runner (TypeScript)

- `runnerRecoveryFailureClass` reads the classification from the
authenticated `runnerCommandResult`. The Codex app-server driver (which
also drives ACPX through runnerd) and `HarnessDriverBackend` pass it on
as `failureClass`.
- If replacement after a failed resume is not allowed,
`executeNativeSession` throws `NativeProviderStateIncompatibleError`
(message unchanged: `native_session_recovery_failed: ...`). If
replacement is allowed, the existing path opens a fresh session in the
same run, as before.

### Server

- `nativeSessionFailureSourceCode` maps that error class to
`native_provider_state_incompatible` with `instanceof`, not text. The
disposition is permanent: `terminal_failure` at once, the task blocks,
and the board owns the recovery action. Its next action says that a
Retry continues in a fresh provider session with the same workspace.
- `findNativeSessionResumeRun` also returns the barrier's `errorCode`.
`rebindNativeSessionCheckpoint` does not resume a source with
`native_provider_state_incompatible`. The existing fallback in
`buildNativeExecutionWithCheckpoint` then starts a fresh normalized
session with the full task bootstrap.
- `sweepStaleIssueLocks` keeps both locks while a referenced run's
coordinator owns a result-less `retryable_failure`, unless the task is
done or cancelled. Its update also requires that no referenced run has a
live status at the write, because a resume claim can return the run to
running after the status read.
- `claimNativeRestartRecoveries` reclaims a free execution lock for a
`retryable_failure` resume, like the local claim does, when the checkout
lock is free or held by this run and no other run for the task is
queued, running or scheduled. It records
`native.recovery.execution_reclaimed`. A lock held by another run still
blocks.
- Docs: `packages/paperclip-runner/docs/durable-recovery.md` and
`doc/execution-semantics.md`.

### Safety argument for the re-bind

What the binding protects, and what this change keeps:

- **Candidate admission** carries company, model, platform and expiry
authority. A candidate startup never re-binds. The Kimi run-binding
carve-out and all candidate rejections are unchanged.
- **The agent that loads the conversation** stays exact. `validate()`
runs on the saved descriptor before the digest check and requires this
build's qualified agent profile: ACPX version, agent server package and
version, and `commandDigest`. The saved identity must still match that
profile and the provider mode.
- **In-flight provider work** is never re-bound. A turn, runtime
request, undelivered event or unconfirmed exit keeps the strict binding,
so no old provider process or request continues under a new build. The
next launch only loads a settled conversation.
- **Launch shape.** A changed sidecar command path or arguments still
rejects. Only the content at the same paths may change.
- **Artifacts** are not trusted from the saved state. The current
profile comes from the trusted controller at startup, and session start
verifies every artifact's bytes and the restored provider identity, as
before.

What changes: a new provider-pack authority, or new sidecar or Node
bytes, at the same paths no longer invalidates a settled conversation.
The saved digest cannot show which part changed, so the rule does not
depend on it. I did not add state fields to tell authority changes from
artifact changes, because the rule would treat both the same.

One existing assertion changes.
`released_kimi_cold_restore_rejects_candidate_injection_and_changed_full_profile`
expected a settled ordinary Kimi session to reject a changed authority,
artifact digest, or saved digest. Those three cases moved to a new
positive test. Command, arguments, every candidate grant field, a
missing profile and run binding still reject.

### How a task in the reported state recovers after this deploys

The task has old-digest saved state, a `retryable_failure` coordinator
at attempt 1, and cleared locks.

1. Startup recovery, and the live recovery queue, run restart recovery
for the due run. It reclaims the free execution lock and claims the run.
The resume runs now.
2. Run B's failed `run.attach` is a durable outcome of B's exact run
authority. If the resume replays that outcome instead of executing it
again, it fails with the old, untyped text. The remaining attempts then
fail the same way, and the run ends `terminal_failure` with
`native_session_retry_exhausted`. The task blocks with a board recovery
action. This takes about a minute.
3. If the task blocks, press **Retry** once. Retry selects run B as the
source (it has process identity and controller evidence, so the #18860
skip does not apply) and rebinds B's checkpoint, which holds A's
provider session. The new run cold-attaches under the new Runner, and
restore re-binds the old digest because the session is suspended and
quiescent. The conversation continues. Run B's failed attach never wrote
the state file, so the state is still A's settled state.
4. Tasks that already exhausted their retries (blocked, or in progress
after `native_session_retry_exhausted`) need the same single Retry.
Their earlier attempts ran under the old Runner.

Wait for the task to show blocked before pressing Retry. A Retry pressed
while the resume is running joins that run.

## Verification

- Rust, failing first:
`settled_session_rebinds_to_the_upgraded_runner_launch_profile` failed
on `master` with the production message.
`unsettled_or_relocated_session_keeps_the_strict_launch_binding` failed
on the missing classification. Both pass now.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --no-fail-fast`: all 41 test
binaries pass. The library has 471 passed and 1 ignored.
- `cargo fmt --check`, and `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner
typecheck` (TypeScript, generated contracts, `cargo check`): pass.
- Server, failing first: `native-scheduled-resume-lock.test.ts`
(PostgreSQL). On `master` the sweep cleared the locks and restart
recovery returned `issue_execution_lock_changed`. Both negative controls
(another run's lock, a queued run) already passed. All four tests pass
now.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`: pass.
- Runner vitest (`src/native-session-runtime.test.ts`, `src/backends`,
`src/drivers/codex`, `src/drivers/provider-failure.test.ts`,
`src/live/runnerd-codex-transport*.test.ts`,
`src/control-plane/acpx-controller-recovery.test.ts`): 31 files, 1,011
tests pass. New: the typed error when same-session recovery is required,
and the recovery class reader and pass-through.
- Server vitest: the native executor, status corpus and provider-pack
admission suites (1,268 tests) pass. New: the classifier makes the typed
error permanent, and the same text stays retryable. Checkpoint selection
returns `errorCode`, and an incompatible source starts a fresh session
with the same workspace (unit and PostgreSQL).
- Server vitest over the recovery area: stale-lock sweep, native
resumption, process recovery, failed-workspace recovery, restart
recovery (integration, diskless, preparation), controller recovery,
startup retry, startup cleanup, recovered-owner follow-up, session
resume, runtime selection and recovery deadlines. 926 passed. Four
`heartbeat-process-recovery` tests failed in that loaded run. Three pass
when I run them alone. `redacts opaque environment-bound credentials
from Sentry diagnostics: result` fails the same way on unmodified
`master` on this host (a local environment value is redacted).
- Review round 1: a new sweep test returns the run to running before the
clear. It cleared the locks without the write recheck and keeps them
with it. The strict Rust restore test covers an older agent server
release and an older ACPX release. The ACPX backend and durable runner
unit tests, the lock, sweep, resume projection and controller recovery
suites, `cargo fmt --check` and the server typecheck pass. In the second
full cargo run, the two `stdio_mcp` relay tests timed out waiting 5 s
for a child exit on this loaded host. They do not use the changed code
and passed in the first full run.
- After the rebase onto the current `master`: the new lock test,
failed-workspace recovery, stale-lock sweep and session resume suites
pass (189 tests). Server typecheck, `pnpm check:module-boundaries` and
`git diff --check` pass.
- CI on `929ef4508d2`: in the first run, `isolated-repository-rehome`
hit its 15 s test timeout, `idle-completed-history` could not reach its
fixture runtime service, and e2e shard 3 was cancelled by a runner
shutdown. A rerun of the failed jobs passed. All 55 checks pass.
- Not verified: a live remote sandbox deploy, and whether run B's
same-run resume replays its recorded `run.attach` failure or executes it
again. The Retry path is tested at source selection and checkpoint
rebind (server) and at cold attach (Runner). It is not tested end to end
through a sandbox.

## Risks

- A settled session now continues under new sidecar bytes. If a sidecar
change made an old ACPX record unreadable, session start fails as any
failed resume does. It does not corrupt state, and the run follows its
normal recovery policy.
- The sweep now keeps locks for a failed native run with a scheduled
resume. If that resume can never be claimed (for example the agent stays
paused), the task keeps the lock until the coordinator settles or the
task closes. Before, the sweep cleared it, and the resume still never
ran.
- If another run holds the task's lock, a scheduled remote resume still
stays blocked and the coordinator stays `retryable_failure`. This change
does not settle that case. It needs a separate decision about
superseding the resume.
- `native_provider_state_incompatible` is a new failure code. No UI or
migration change is needed. Older servers never see it.
- No schema migration.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) through Claude Code, with tool use
(shell, file edits, test runs). The runtime does not expose the context
window or reasoning configuration.

DottaandPaperclip 0ab3ce7a03 fix(workspaces): preserve legacy recovery across storage migration (#18841)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages durable tasks and agent work through the control
plane.
> - An ephemeral web server needs existing workspace files in shared
storage.
> - Failed historical runs can still own recoverable sandbox files or
unfinished coordinator state.
> - Moving local files must preserve those obligations without replaying
the old agent turn.
> - Migration journals the exact source and fences old copyback; the
recovery owner saves verified sandbox files separately.
> - New user input can continue only after matching preservation
receipts and independent execution-stop checks.
> - Accepted results retain their finalization owner and must have its
durable workspace receipt before storage moves.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Builds on merged #18826 and #18835.

**What happened?**

Existing workspaces with failed native copyback could not migrate to
remote storage. Simply changing their storage authority would let later
recovery target a retired local directory, lose child-task attachments,
or leave a recovered task unable to accept a new turn.

**Expected behavior**

Preserve local files, exact sandbox provenance, task bindings,
checkpoints, and unresolved history. Recover surviving sandbox files
into immutable task-scoped attachments after migration, and let a new
authorized user turn use those files without replaying the old
execution.

**Steps to reproduce**

Create a terminal native run with a prepared copyback descriptor and a
retained sandbox. Migrate its local workspace, remove the old host
filesystem, recover the sandbox, and submit a new user turn. Also
exercise a child task reusing its ancestor's workspace and an expired
observed coordinator.

## What Changed

- Journal exact legacy run, task, descriptor, and unfinished coordinator
bindings during offline migration. Descriptor-free runs retain the
complete declared lease/allocation/directory identities; publication
locks and revalidates them.
- Publish a run-scoped fence that prevents automatic restart or copyback
into the retired local authority.
- Release only the exact journaled expired coordinator lease under the
offline deployment fence and locked revalidation, recording the prior
owner in recovery history. Preserve phase, checkpoint, result, and run
status.
- Save recovered sandbox files through the existing immutable snapshot
owner, retaining allocation and provider-stop checks.
- Attach recovered files using the current task's identity when a child
reuses an ancestor workspace.
- Accept matching migration and snapshot receipts for workspace-repair
admission and explicit new-user continuation. Changed coordinator
bindings and invalid receipts remain blocked.
- Require the finalizer's successful workspace_finalize operation before
moving a workspace whose accepted result has finalized copyback; the
existing owner can then finish assessment/status effects.
- Document unresolved workspace-policy, task-ownership, and
missing-provenance cases as separate owner actions that block
detachment.

## Verification

- 569 tests across migration, retained recovery, and explicit
continuation passed on ffcde13f57.
- The final saved-result follow-up passes all 75 migration tests. Four
receipt cases cover prepared copyback, a successful finalization
receipt, a missing receipt, and a failed receipt. The successful case
invokes the actual finalizer after migration and completes the existing
saved operation.
- Five real-file journeys cover a retained host, removed host,
child-task reuse, an expired observed coordinator, and a descriptor-free
run with two separate sandbox allocations. They recover sandbox files,
clear the repair blocker, admit an explicit /new user comment, reserve a
new remote workspace, and verify recovered attachment contents.
- Negative cases reject changed coordinator phase/owner, invalid
migration fences, changed source sets and allocations, mismatched
task/allocation/action receipts, malformed archives, and unfinished
snapshot operations. Descriptor-free continuation requires every
journaled source; one missing archive keeps the hold.
- Twelve PostgreSQL/S3 and maintenance-service tests pass on the exact
final rebuilt runtime, including a plain-Node bundled process,
authenticated original-key export, overlapping task-folder restore, and
complete predecessor filesystem removal. The final server and runtime
bundle builds also pass.
- Head 9ab6a38fa4 passed all 573
migration/recovery/continuation tests, server typecheck, server build,
runtime bundle, and 12 PostgreSQL/S3/bundled-maintenance tests.
- Verification caught an expired-owner continuation rejection (160
recovery cases passed, one failed); the admission fix and subsequent
569-test run passed. Earlier fixture failures and the parent PR's
unrelated full-suite failure remain documented in their verification
history.
- Greptile and Paperclip Review both scored final head
fa58d4a5ce 5/5, with no remaining
findings.
- CI exposed 15 blocker-read projection regressions: descriptor-free
checks performed an extra full run read for ordinary unmigrated tasks.
The follow-up gates the lookup on the migration marker, includes that
marker in the bounded blocker projection, and selects only recovery
fields. All 31 blocker-projection and real-file journey cases plus
server typecheck pass. Final-head CI passed all 52 successful checks,
including repository typecheck, build, server tests, and browser suites.
- Preserved CI failure: the unchanged Runner package had one Cursor
Cloud Stop/checkpoint timing failure (4,903 cases passed). All four
focused local cases passed. Retrying only the failed job and its
verification gate passed without source changes.
- This PR does not claim tenant enrollment or a hosted rolling-deploy
result.

## Risks

Cloud must stop every predecessor deployment before enabling the offline
migration contract. Migration preserves uncertain work; it does not
certify provider termination, invent a completed result, or authorize
sandbox deletion. Missing or ambiguous sources remain held. Preserved
attachments are separate files rather than an automatic merge into newer
task edits. Parallel shared-write policy, stale task ownership, missing
task provenance, and accepted results without a successful finalization
receipt remain enrollment blockers. Original folders and the original
volume remain retained.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository tools, and code
execution. This session does not expose a more specific serving model ID
or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 2920d88034 fix: preserve cancelled runs through native finalization (#18857)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents that do work.
> - Native runs can accept a result before workspace file finalization
ends.
> - A user can Stop the run while file finalization is still pending.
> - The direct finalizer replaced that cancelled run with the earlier
provider status.
> - The restart projection already preserves a cancelled run.
> - This pull request preserves cancellation in the direct projection
too.
> - Saved results and normal task decisions remain available.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

An accepted successful result can wait for workspace finalization. If
run-only Stop completes first, the run and its source wake become
cancelled. Late finalization then changed the run to succeeded, cleared
the cancellation error, and replaced its finish time. The wake remained
cancelled.

**Expected behavior**

Preserve the winning run cancellation, finish time, errors and audited
acknowledgement. Keep the accepted provider result and complete file
finalization. The server task arbiter still decides task status from the
accepted result. A valid result can finish the task even though the
execution was stopped.

**Steps to reproduce**

Accept a native result through the control-plane port. Hold an actual
workspace-finalization operation. Stop the run through the heartbeat
service with a board request identity. Release the operation and call
the direct finalizer. The new database regression exercises this
sequence.

Related work: #18804 settles exact claimed native wakes. This change
preserves a wake that Stop already cancelled. #15212 and #12301 address
the opposite race in legacy cancellation. They do not change this native
finalizer projection.

## What Changed

- Evaluate run status and errors against the current locked database
row. Preserve a cancelled run when a late accepted result finishes
finalization or when workspace/status-decision retries exhaust. Merge
finalization failure metadata into the current row so concurrent
receipts survive.
- Keep finalization receipts and accepted results. Preserve existing
server task-arbiter behavior and accounting fields.
- Add real database tests for successful and failed accepted results,
delayed workspace work, and Stop after the task decision but before run
projection.
- Check cancelled wakes, audited acknowledgement, no successor, restart
projection and idle recovery. Update execution documentation.

## Verification

- Before the production change, the actual producer sequence failed: the
cancelled run became succeeded, its error code became null, and its
finish time advanced. This failure remains saved privately.
- The focused projection, cancellation-request and Stop-accounting
suites pass all 67 tests. These include the same delayed-finalization
sequence, both task status orderings, and complete and late accounting
receipts without another provider turn.
- Independent review found a second terminal writer in retry exhaustion.
On the unchanged previous head, two real database cases changed a
cancelled run to failed or succeeded after workspace or status-decision
retries. A third case let actual board Stop win after the permanent
workspace failure admission snapshot and still changed cancelled to
failed. All three now pass. Existing uncancelled exhaustion controls
still pass. No mock supplied the canonical cancellation state.
- Initial review found that routine regression notes do not belong in
the feature maps. Both map additions were removed. Production and test
code are unchanged by that correction.
- Runner TypeScript build and all server typecheck layers pass. Map,
module-boundary and diff checks pass.
- An additional direct typecheck of the normally excluded projection
fixture reports two existing notification mocks whose transaction
parameter is typed as `object`. The same check with the previous test
file reports the same two errors. The new regression cases add no type
errors. The standard server typecheck remains green.
- The previous head passed required CI after one targeted retry of jobs
that received the same runner shutdown signal. Those original failures
remain recorded. The exhaustion correction passes fresh required CI on
exact head `84404d34b9d982d8bca24b63ae2046051f5169b8` (workflow
41726120483, attempt 1). Both required aggregate gates pass. Greptile
reviewed this head at 5/5 with no new comments; all review threads are
resolved. An independent source review found no blocking issue in the
correction. Runner TypeScript and all server typecheck layers pass
locally; the exact production server and Runner build passes with the
server stamp bound to `84404d34b9d982d8bca24b63ae2046051f5169b8`. The
full required CI workflow passes.
- This is local fixture evidence. It does not establish hosted recovery,
a remote provider stop, or a deployed version.

## Risks

- Accepted result finalization can still finish the task after run-only
Stop. This is existing server policy; cancelled run API write authority
stays revoked.
- The fix protects cancelled execution history. It does not invent
provider termination, saved-file or accounting proof.
- No schema, endpoint, retry budget, provider call or new background
worker changes.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol`, Extra High reasoning. The model used code
execution, repository tools and test output. The host does not expose
the context window size.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip b0c4e34526 fix(native): resume from the owner after an unstarted failed follow-up (#18860)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native Runner sessions keep one conversation across task turns.
> - A follow-up turn resumes from the newest earlier run that holds a
provider checkpoint.
> - A follow-up can fail during admission, before provider work, and
still hold the checkpoint that it inherited.
> - A later Retry then resumes from that failed run. Controller recovery
finds no controller checkpoint there and fails.
> - This pull request makes resume source selection skip a failed
follow-up that proves that it never started provider work.
> - The benefit is that a board Retry resumes from the last committed
owner, and the task can continue.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18846, which lets a follow-up start after a recovered per-turn
owner. Refs #18854 (same-run retry of failures before provider work) and
#18718 (controller projection refresh).

**What happened?**

Run 1 was a per-turn remote sandbox run. Recovery committed its result,
but it saved no Runner suspension receipt. Run 2 was a follow-up that
was admitted before #18846. Admission failed with
`runner_state_identity_mismatch:
prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate`, before any provider work. Run
2 has these properties:

- Status `failed`, and the result has `executionRecovery: { kind:
"bootstrap", providerWorkStarted: false }`.
- The coordinator is `terminal_failure`, with no result, no lease owner,
and no controller process.
- No controller checkpoint rows and no controller recovery pointer.
- A `sessionCheckpoint` bound to run 2 with a null cursor. The provider
session in it is copied from run 1.

A board Retry then started run 3. Resume source selection treats any
checkpoint as a progress barrier, so it selected run 2. Controller
recovery then failed with
`native_controller_recovery_unsupported:metadata_format`, because run 2
has no controller recovery pointer. The task stayed blocked. Every later
Retry selects the newest failed follow-up and fails the same way.

**Expected behavior**

A Retry must resume from the last committed owner (run 1) when the newer
follow-up provably never started provider work. If the follow-up might
have started provider work, or holds its own controller evidence, it
must stay the source.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Commit a per-turn remote owner through recovery, without a suspension
receipt.
2. Admit a follow-up, and make its admission fail with
`prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate`.
3. Settle that follow-up as a failed bootstrap: `providerWorkStarted:
false`, `terminal_failure`, and no result.
4. Admit a Retry. It selects the failed follow-up and fails with
`native_controller_recovery_unsupported:metadata_format`.

The new regression test runs these steps against PostgreSQL.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `909d86b59a`.

**Deployment mode**

Native Runner with a per-turn lifecycle on the built-in remote sandbox
transport. Source selection is shared by all native providers.

## What Changed

- `findNativeSessionResumeRun` skips a newest barrier that is an
unstarted inherited follow-up and selects again without it. The selector
repeats this inside the existing 32-run window.
- A run is skipped only when all of these are true:
- It is a native run with status `failed` and a `bootstrap` receipt with
`providerWorkStarted: false`.
- Its coordinator is `terminal_failure`, with no result, lease owner, or
controller process.
- It has no process identity, provider event, controller checkpoint row,
run result row, or controller recovery pointer.
- Its checkpoint is bound to this run and session, and it has no cursor.
- After the skips, every skipped run must name the same backend, driver,
and provider session as the selected source. Otherwise the selector
returns the original barrier.
- Runtime selection and controller recovery both call this selector.
Both now use the committed owner. Admission then reaches the #18846
path, which retires the old authority and starts a new Runner.
- Add four cases to `native-recovered-owner-followup.test.ts`, with one
negative control for each guard.
- Document the rule in `doc/execution-semantics.md` and the test in
`doc/testing-native-remote-continuity.md`.

### Why source selection

- Source selection made the wrong choice. The failed follow-up has no
provider progress. Its checkpoint is a copy, and the provider never saw
its turn.
- One shared selector feeds runtime selection (checkpoint rebind,
previous turn, runner instance) and controller recovery. A fix in only
one of them would let them disagree about the source.
- Controller recovery keeps its rule: it never searches backward when
the selected run is incomplete. The selector skips a run only with
positive proof, so an incomplete run with any evidence of work still
stops recovery.
- A fix in the executor could not help. The executor sees only the
source that the selector gives it.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-recovered-owner-followup.test.ts`: 22
tests pass.
- Before the change, the two new retry tests failed with
`native_controller_recovery_unsupported:metadata_format`.
- After the change, the retry selects the committed owner and is
admitted. It is also admitted after two failed follow-ups.
- Eight controls keep the failed follow-up as the source: process
identity, provider event, controller checkpoint row, a receipt with
`providerWorkStarted: true`, a coordinator with a controller process, a
run result row, a different provider session, and a non-null cursor.
- I disabled each guard in turn. Each change made its matching control
fail.
- These suites pass: native session resume, resume projection,
controller recovery (unit and integration), native startup retry,
runtime selection, execution workspace service, native status corpus,
task workspace binding, and all 1,088 native executor tests. The
container and Runner binary cases skip locally.
- Server typecheck, `node scripts/typecheck-low-memory.mjs`, `pnpm
check:module-boundaries`, and `git diff --check` pass.
- I did not run the full `pnpm test:run`, `pnpm build`, or the opt-in
Linux Runner container cases locally. CI runs them.
- The tests start at the selector and executor admission. They do not
exercise the Retry route, the task retry queue, or a live sandbox
provider.

## Risks

- A wrong skip could resume from an older checkpoint. Each guard
requires positive evidence of no provider work. A skipped run must also
name the same provider session as the selected source. If any check
fails, the selector returns the original barrier.
- Only `failed` runs qualify. Cancelled, interrupted, and timed-out runs
keep their existing handling.
- The skip adds one proof query per candidate. It runs only when the
newest barrier is a failed native run whose checkpoint is bound to
itself and has no cursor.
- The rebind now uses the owner's tool-contract fingerprint. If the tool
contract changed since the owner ran, the Retry starts a new provider
session. The provider history in this failure mode is already
unavailable.
- No migration or configuration change is required.

## Model Used

- Anthropic Claude Opus 5.5 (model ID `claude-opus-5-5`) in Claude Code,
with extended thinking, repository tools, shell and code execution, and
local test runs. The runtime does not expose the context window size.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 909d86b59a fix(native): retry runs that fail before provider work (#18854)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native runs start the provider through Runner. `session.open` starts
the provider session before any prompt.
> - When `session.open` fails, the server records the generic
`native_session_interrupted`. Recovery evidence then reports
`ambiguous_state`, so the first failure blocks the task with no
automatic retry.
> - The failure is often temporary. On one instance an agent's provider
account hit its usage limit. For about 14 hours every later run failed
at `session.open`, and 47 tasks stayed blocked. Outside limit windows,
the same error also occurs once and a later retry succeeds.
> - The server already has a bounded same-run bootstrap retry for
failures that are proven to come before provider work. It did not
recognize this failure, and it did not consider a known provider limit.
> - This pull request classifies a definite `session.open` failure as a
pre-session failure. Bootstrap retries back off and wait out a known
provider limit. The task is blocked only after the shared budget is
used, with a clear reason.
> - The benefit is that a temporary startup failure or a provider limit
no longer strands tasks on the first failure, and every existing replay
guard stays in force.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18847. That pull request keeps the provider cause on
`session.open` rejections and names typed categories (for example
`classification=provider_rate_limit`). This change does not depend on
it. With #18847, a typed limit at `session.open` uses the same cooldown
path, because the server reads the cause with
`providerFailureFromError`. Refs #18622, which added the
`ProviderFailure` cause. Refs #13993, an open change about legacy
adapter startup backoff; it does not touch the native recovery path.

**What happened?**

A native run (`paperclip_runner`) failed at `session.open` before any
prompt: `ACPX sidecar command session.open was rejected
(retryable=false, classification=session_ensure_failed)`. The server
recorded `native_session_interrupted`. Recovery evidence had no
checkpoint and no provider event, but the cause was not in the
pre-session list, so the mode was `ambiguous_state`. The coordinator
went to `terminal_failure`, a board-owned `active_run_watchdog` action
was created, and the task was set to `blocked` on the first failure.
During a provider usage limit, every later run of the agent failed the
same way, so each task was blocked.

**Expected behavior**

A run that provably failed before provider work retries automatically,
with backoff and a bounded budget. If the agent has a known provider
limit, the retry waits for the cooldown. The task is blocked only when
the budget is used, and the recovery action explains why. A run where
provider work may have started is never replayed.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Make Runner reject `session.open` for a native run (for example a
provider at its usage limit).
2. Observe the coordinator: `terminal_failure`, `recoveryMode:
"ambiguous_state"`, `providerSessionEstablished: false`. The task is
`blocked`.
3. The new `native-startup-retry.integration.test.ts` reproduces this
with a real database and the executor.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `5877d751c0e`.

**Deployment mode**

Native Runner with an ACPX Claude provider. The fix is in the server and
is not specific to one deployment mode.

## What Changed

- `nativeSessionFailureSourceCode` returns a new cause,
`provider_session_open_rejected`, when Runner reports that
`session.open` failed or was rejected. Those outcomes are definite, and
the command runs before any prompt. An `indeterminate` outcome stays
`native_session_interrupted`. Earlier, more specific causes (for example
a missing runtime package) keep their classification.
- `nativeProviderRecoveryEvidence` treats the new cause as pre-session.
The durable evidence still decides. A bootstrap retry happens only with
no provider session, no provider event and no checkpoint. Otherwise the
mode stays `ambiguous_state` and the task is blocked as before.
- New module `native-runtime/native-startup-retry.ts` plans each
bootstrap retry. It is called only for `bootstrap_retry` mode.
- Backoff: the existing `infrastructureRetryDelayMs` (about 30 s, then
about 60 s, plus or minus 20 %). The jitter derives from the run and
attempt, and it is persisted with `nextAttemptAt`.
- Limit cooldown: evidence is a `rate_limit` or `quota_exhausted`
provider failure on the current failure (the #18847 shape), or on an
agent run that started in the last 24 hours. A
`native_provider_usage_limit` or `provider_quota` error code also
counts. The cooldown is the provider's `retryAt` (or `retryNotBefore`),
or one hour after the failure when no reset time is known. A later
successful run of the agent clears older evidence. The cooldown is
capped at 24 hours. The retry runs after the cooldown plus the backoff
delay.
- A failed evidence read is logged and falls back to plain backoff, so
it cannot stop the failure from settling.
- The budget does not change: three provider attempts, shared with
checkpoint resumes and replacements. When it is used, the coordinator
records `native_session_retry_exhausted`. The task is blocked, and the
board-owned action says: "Provider startup failed on 3 attempts before
any provider work began. Automatic retries are stopped." When a limit is
known, the message includes the expected reset time.
- While a retry waits, the coordinator detail, the recovery action
evidence and the scheduled wake record `providerCooldownAt`. The next
action names the reset time, and the task projection shows "Retry
scheduled".
- `PROVIDER_LIMIT_DEFAULT_COOLDOWN_MS` (one hour) moves to
`system-recovery-state.ts`. The legacy provider-quota recovery default
now refers to it. The value does not change.
- A chat retry of an exhausted `provider_session_open_rejected` run is
accepted like the other pre-provider causes. The existing proofs still
apply.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md` describes the backoff, the cooldown and
the exhausted state.

## Verification

- Red: before the fix, the first new integration case failed. The
coordinator was `terminal_failure` with `recoveryMode:
"ambiguous_state"`, `originalFailureCode: "native_session_interrupted"`
and `providerSessionEstablished: false`, and the task was `blocked`.
Four more cases failed the same way. The two never-retry cases passed
before and after the fix.
- Green: `npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-startup-retry.integration.test.ts` in
`server` (embedded PostgreSQL, the real executor, and the real resume
claim). 8 cases pass:
- a rejected `session.open` is retried with backoff (attempt 1 in 24 to
36 s, attempt 2 in 48 to 72 s), and the task stays `in_progress` with an
agent-owned action and a `resume_native_run` wake;
- after three attempts the task is blocked, the action is board-owned
with the clear reason, and the resume claim refuses another attempt;
- a recent limit failure holds the retry until one hour after that
failure, and the claim refuses it before the cooldown;
- a provider reset time from an earlier run, or from the startup failure
itself, sets the cooldown;
  - a distant reset time holds the retry for at most one day;
- a later success, another agent's limit, and an expired limit do not
delay the retry;
- a durable provider event, or an indeterminate `session.open` outcome,
still blocks the task with `ambiguous_state` and no retry.
- `native-session-executor.test.ts`: all 1,087 tests pass, including a
new classification case for `failed`, `rejected`, `indeterminate` and a
different command.
- `chat-channels.integration.test.ts -t "requires terminal-safe native
ownership for an exact chat retry"`: 23 pass, including the new
`session_open` case. That case fails without the list change.
- Related suites pass: native session resumption, native provider
failure, capacity and overload integration tests, provider failure
classification, native status arbiter corpus, native restart recovery.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server` passes. `git diff --check` passes.
- [GitHub
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41713988964)
is green on head `32561aa335d`. This includes `ci / verify`, `ci / e2e`,
typecheck, build, all server, chat and workspace groups, all serialized
server suites, and all Runner checks, which run the native-runtime
server tests. In the first attempt, eleven jobs stopped because their
runners received a shutdown signal; no test reported a failure. A rerun
of those jobs passed.
- A local run of the whole `server/src/services/native-runtime`
directory was stopped before completion because it runs serially for a
long time. CI ran those files.
- Runtime dependency: the new work is one indexed query (`company_id`,
`agent_id`, `started_at`) with `LIMIT 20`. It runs only when a bootstrap
retry is planned or exhausted, not on the normal path. No new timer or
polling: the wait uses the existing persisted `nextAttemptAt` deadline
and the existing resume dispatch.
- Not verified: a live provider account at its usage limit, and a live
remote sandbox that waits through a full cooldown. The full repository
suite was not run locally; CI ran it.

## Risks

- A task that waits for a cooldown stays `in_progress` with its
execution lock, for up to one day. This is the existing same-run retry
state. Stop, reassignment, pause and an explicit Retry keep their
current behavior through the existing claim checks.
- During the wait the failed run keeps its environment lease in the same
way as any same-run retry. A remote lease with an unexported prepared
workspace is retained by the orphaned-lease sweep until the retry runs.
Other active leases of the failed run are released after the usual five
minutes, and the retry acquires a new one.
- A `rate_limit` failure without a reset time (for example a short HTTP
429) delays only startup-failure retries of that agent, by up to one
hour. Normal runs are not delayed, and a later success clears the
evidence.
- A startup failure that needs user action (for example a sign-in
failure) now uses two automatic retries, about 90 seconds in total,
before the task is blocked. Before, it was blocked at once with an
ambiguous reason.
- The agent's other queued runs are not held during a cooldown. Each one
fails at `session.open` without provider work and then waits for the
same cooldown. An agent-wide admission hold has no clean extension point
in the current queue, so it is not part of this change.
- Re-arming consumed scheduled monitors is out of scope. This change
makes it matter less: a run that consumed a monitor wake now retries
itself on the same run. A monitor that a run consumed before its retry
budget was used stays consumed.
- No schema or API change. The new error code appears on runs and in run
error codes.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 80c308f872 fix(runner): admit follow-ups after recovered per-turn owners (#18846)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native Runner sessions keep one conversation across task turns.
> - After a per-turn sandbox turn, the controller saves a Runner
suspension receipt or a failover backup.
> - A full sandbox disk can stop that save after the turn is complete.
> - Recovery then commits the result, but the controller has no proof
that the Runner suspended.
> - Each follow-up rebuilds the old controller journal from the database
and rejects it again.
> - This pull request lets admission retire that old authority when the
prior owner is provably finished.
> - The benefit is that the task continues with its saved workspace and
does not stay blocked.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18705 (checkpoint save on a full sandbox disk). Refs #18829,
#18718 and #18343 (related admission and controller recovery). Refs
#18811 (a related warm continuation wait).

**What happened?**

A per-turn native run in a remote sandbox finished its turn. The
post-turn `harness_state.backup.persist` and
`session.checkpoint.persist` steps failed because the sandbox disk was
full. The controller got no Runner suspension receipt and no failover
backup. Workspace recovery later saved the files. The run committed its
result and ended as `succeeded`. A board comment then started a
follow-up in a new sandbox. Admission failed after about two minutes
with `runner_state_identity_mismatch:
prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate`. Execution recovery then
blocked the task.

The cause is in durable-root admission.
`restorePerTurnRunnerdController` rebuilds the prior controller journal
from the database checkpoint. `verifyPriorRunnerdStateForSessionScope`
finds a terminal owner in the same scope with no suspended lifecycle and
no retained warm owner. It returns `terminal_state_indeterminate`.
Admission quarantines the root and fails. The database checkpoint does
not change, so every later admission rebuilds the same journal and fails
again.

A board Retry after that failed follow-up does not repeat the same
error. Runtime selection picks the failed follow-up as the resume
source, because it carries an inherited provider checkpoint. Controller
recovery then fails with
`native_controller_recovery_unsupported:metadata_format`. The task stays
blocked. This pull request prevents that failed follow-up. It does not
change source selection (see Risks).

**Expected behavior**

When the prior owner is provably finished, the follow-up must start. It
must keep the saved workspace. It must not start while the prior owner
can still be alive, while terminal delivery or provider cleanup is
unsettled, or while quarantine holds evidence from a different owner.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Complete a per-turn remote sandbox run. Commit its result through
recovery and release its controller lease.
2. Keep its database controller checkpoint and recovery pointer. Do not
save a suspension receipt or a failover backup.
3. Admit a follow-up in a new sandbox with no local controller
projection.
4. Admission rebuilds the old journal, quarantines it, and fails with
the error above.
5. Admit the same run again. It rebuilds the journal and fails the same
way.

The new regression test runs these steps against PostgreSQL.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `e0276e0166`.

**Deployment mode**

Native Runner with a per-turn lifecycle, the built-in remote sandbox
transport, and the ACPX provider. The admission path is the same for
other per-turn sandbox providers.

## What Changed

- Add `retireFinishedPerTurnRunnerdOwner` to durable-root admission in
`native-session-executor.ts`. It runs only when the existing verifier
returns `terminal_state_indeterminate`, and only without a restart claim
or a retained warm owner.
- The function requires all of these. Otherwise the existing quarantine
and rejection apply.
- Per-turn lifecycle on the built-in remote sandbox transport, with a
`created` or `replacement` sandbox. A resumed sandbox, a warm session,
and a plugin task keep their existing paths.
- No local Runner lifecycle evidence for the old owner. The session root
contains only known authority entries.
- A journal for that owner with its terminal delivered and only idle
goal snapshots after it. All commands are completed. Each tool input has
a completed result. No warm transition or staged attachment exists.
- A terminal prior run in the same task. Its coordinator is `committed`
with a result, has no lease owner, and has no recovery state.
- A stopped prior controller, from `evaluateNativeControllerTakeover`
with `requireStoppedController`. A durable controller is fenced by its
released database lease, as in remote warm recovery.
- Each quarantined root for the scope passes the same journal and local
Runner evidence checks for the same owner. A retry rebuilds only the
database journal, so quarantined Runner evidence must stay decisive.
- When the proof holds, the function reads the journal again, moves the
old authority into `continuity-breaks/<time>-<uuid>` in the session
root, and logs one line. The follow-up then starts a new Runner
authority. The provider session follows the existing resume-or-replace
policy.
- Share the list of continuity archive entries with provider replacement
(`archiveContinuityState`). Provider replacement behavior does not
change.
- Add `native-recovered-owner-followup.test.ts`. It uses real
PostgreSQL, a real encrypted controller checkpoint, and the production
source selector and checkpoint rebinder.
- Document the rule in `doc/execution-semantics.md` and the test in
`doc/testing-native-remote-continuity.md`.

### Design choice

I considered two approaches:

1. Start a new Runner authority for the scope at admission (this pull
request).
2. Make the recovery path that committed the prior run also settle its
Runner and controller projection.

I chose the first approach for these reasons:

- The provider history stayed in the unreachable sandbox. A settled
projection cannot make it resumable. Admission would pass, but a
replacement sandbox would then fail on the missing backup, and a new
sandbox would only try to resume a session that is gone.
- A settled receipt written by recovery would claim a suspension that
the Runner never wrote. Other checks rely on that receipt as Runner
evidence.
- Several paths can commit a result. Only runs that commit after a
settle-at-commit fix would benefit. The admission fix also unblocks
tasks that were committed before it.
- Admission already owns this decision. It already has the scope claim,
the journal, and the database rows.

### Safety argument

- **No live prior owner.** The coordinator has no lease owner, and the
controller must be proven stopped. The follow-up runs in a different
sandbox than the old Runner. A resumed sandbox keeps the existing path,
which reads the old Runner's own lifecycle there.
- **No unsettled terminal delivery or effects.** The controller
acknowledged the terminal and completed every command, including the
suspend command. Every tool input has an answer, and the coordinator
committed the result. The unreadable Runner outbox can then hold only
post-terminal telemetry.
- **No unsettled cleanup.** Any local Runner receipt, including an
unsuspended one, keeps the hold. A coordinator recovery state keeps the
hold.
- **No ambiguous quarantine.** A quarantined root from a different owner
keeps the hold. A quarantined root with Runner lifecycle evidence,
unknown entries, or an unsettled journal also keeps the hold.
- **No lost evidence.** The move keeps the old authority in the session
root. Existing retention expires it like other continuity breaks. A
journal change during the database reads cancels the move.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-recovered-owner-followup.test.ts`: 12
tests pass.
- Before the change, the four admission tests failed with the exact
error above. This includes a re-admission that rebuilt the journal from
the database and failed again.
- After the change, `created` and `replacement` sandboxes are admitted.
A re-admission is admitted. A task with an earlier quarantined copy of
the same owner is admitted.
- Eight controls keep the hold: uncommitted result, live controller
lease, unexpired controller lease, recovery state, pending command,
unanswered tool input, a different owner in quarantine, and an
unsuspended Runner receipt in quarantine after a retry rebuilds the
root.
- I disabled each new guard in turn. Each change made its matching
control fail.
- An exploratory run of the same fixture before the change answered the
Retry question above. The second follow-up selected the failed follow-up
as its source and failed with
`native_controller_recovery_unsupported:metadata_format`.
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts`: all 1,087
tests pass.
- Related suites pass: `task-workspace-binding`,
`native-controller-recovery` (unit and integration),
`native-harness-backup-expiration`, `native-session-resume`, and the
restart and diskless integration suites. Their container and Runner
binary cases skip locally.
- `node scripts/typecheck-low-memory.mjs`, `pnpm
check:module-boundaries`, and `git diff --check` pass.
- CI passes at `879bb6a5c7`. Two attempts lost jobs when CI runners
received a shutdown signal; the third attempt passed every job.
- I did not run the full `pnpm test:run`, `pnpm build`, or the opt-in
Linux Runner container cases locally. CI runs them.
- I did not test a live sandbox provider or a live model. I could not
inspect the original checkpoint contents. If a stranded run's journal
does not show a delivered terminal and completed commands, its follow-up
stays held.

## Risks

- A follow-up after this path cannot use the lost provider history. The
provider session then follows the existing resume-or-replace policy, and
the task context comes from Paperclip. A checkpoint that requires the
same session, such as an unfinished goal, still fails at provider
recovery.
- Post-terminal Runner telemetry in the lost outbox, such as a late
usage report, stays lost. It cannot carry a workspace effect.
- A task that already has a failed follow-up from this error can still
be blocked on a board Retry. Source selection picks that failed run and
fails with `native_controller_recovery_unsupported:metadata_format`.
This pull request does not change source selection. A same-run retry of
the failed follow-up is admitted.
- The change is limited to per-turn runs on the built-in sandbox
transport. Warm sessions, plugin tasks, resumed sandboxes, and restart
recovery do not change.
- No migration or configuration change is required.

## Model Used

- Anthropic Claude Opus 5.5 (model ID `claude-opus-5-5`) in Claude Code,
with extended thinking, repository tools, shell and code execution, and
local test runs. The runtime does not expose the context window size.

DottaandPaperclip da77c1bcfa fix(runner): align ordinary document key contracts (#18824)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents that do work.
> - Native agents use tools to read and write task documents.
> - A document key is a stable identifier. The service trims it and
converts it to lowercase before it checks the key.
> - The tool schemas accepted filenames and long keys that the service
rejects.
> - This pull request makes ordinary document tool schemas match the
existing service contract.
> - Agents can now see the key rules before they call the tools.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The schemas for `read_document`, `write_document`, and
`list_document_revisions` accepted `reconciliation.md` and keys longer
than 64 characters after normalization. The task document service
rejects these values. The descriptions did not explain that the key is
an identifier rather than a filename.

**Expected behavior**

The model catalog and the live and scenario tool definitions must
describe the existing document key rules. Values accepted after trimming
and conversion to lowercase must remain compatible. Historical
case-document keys use a separate contract.

**Steps to reproduce**

Validate `{ "key": "reconciliation.md" }` against the previous
`read_document` schema. It passes. Call the document service with that
key. It rejects the key before it reads the database. The added
regression repeats this comparison for all three tools.

## What Changed

- Apply the same document-key pattern to `read_task_document` and
`write_task_document` at the API bridge. Keep their existing raw-input
limit of 100 characters; ordinary tools keep 120. Export the shared
schema through the existing Runner package and server vendor boundary.
Route permissions, normalization and document locks stay with their
current owners.

- Add one shared schema for ordinary task-document keys. Keep the
existing 120-character raw input cap and the 64-character normalized
identifier limit.
- Preserve uppercase input, ECMAScript trim whitespace, and the Kelvin
sign, which converts to ASCII `k`.
- Apply the schema to the model catalog and the three live and scenario
definitions. Regenerate the catalogs, seeded fixture identity, and
fixture manifest.
- Test schema parity against the real task document service. Keep
historical case keys and the backend validator unchanged.

## Verification

- Current-head required CI is green at
`e67d3f1f49393660f0c70b3d1d136e6f86af821d`: 56 successful checks, four
intentional skips, and two neutral checks. [CI attempt
2](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41715924252)
passed after one targeted rerun of five jobs interrupted by the same
runner shutdown; the original interruption is retained. Fresh Greptile
and Paperclip reviews are both 5/5 with no unresolved review threads.
Hosted recovery remains unverified until automatic deployment and
replay.

- Normal master refresh to `e67d3f1f49393660f0c70b3d1d136e6f86af821d`
includes the already merged external-object startup fixture correction.
The previous required canary failed downloading
`mdast-util-gfm-table@2.0.1` with npm E404; later registry metadata and
tarball HEAD both returned 200. A separate general shard failed the
ten-thousand-future-objects startup assertion. Both original failures
remain recorded; neither was bypassed or retried. At the refreshed
baseline, 122 document/bridge cases and the exact large-object startup
case pass locally. Six document cases skip by platform. Fresh required
CI and reviews must pass on this head.

- The current-head Paperclip review found the same mismatch in the
task-scoped bridge. Before the correction, the real advertised schemas
failed 22 parity cases while 87 controls passed. After the correction
and a normal master refresh, the document-key and bridge suites pass 122
cases, with six platform-specific skips. The tests compare advertised
JSON Schema, runtime Zod validation, and the actual normalized document
service. They retain the bridge raw 100/101 boundary and historical
case-key controls.
- Runner TypeScript build, all server typecheck layers, and the actual
production Runner and server build pass. The final server build stamp
binds commit `80c880709c5f5630799fb8a48d54ff11ebc16610`. Full
current-head CI and fresh review are required after the correction. The
earlier CI run was externally cancelled and rerun; its cancellation
remains recorded.

- The regression failed in 33 of 64 cases before the fix. The remaining
cases passed as controls.
- The fixed regression passes all 67 cases, including every ECMAScript
trim character.
- The four focused Runner contract suites pass: 116 tests. They cover
all three tool surfaces and existing case behavior.
- Generated catalogs and manifest checks pass. Module-boundary and diff
checks pass.
- All server production typecheck layers pass. The test layer passes
after correcting the new test’s Ajv import. The full production server
and Runner build passes at a3e6191590.
- Full repository checks run in required CI. No hosted replay or
provider behavior claim is made.

## Risks

- The tool schema now rejects unsupported keys before the service does.
Older callers that used invalid filenames must use a stable key such as
`reconciliation`.
- The compatibility pattern must track the service normalization rules.
The regression checks the real service and includes Unicode
compatibility controls.
- No database, authorization, document revision, idempotency, or
case-document rules change.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol`, Extra High reasoning. The model used code
execution, repository tools, and test output. The host does not expose
the context window size.
