DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 e33aa8a46a fix(runner): let saved Codex threads follow the current feature policy (#19659)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The Paperclip runner keeps a saved Codex thread so the next run of a
task continues the same conversation
> - On each new run, the controller sends `run.attach` with the current
Codex launch arguments, and the runner refuses any change to "protected"
arguments
> - #19516 removed `--disable image_generation` from the Codex launch
arguments, but every thread saved before that deploy still records the
flag
> - The runner treated the feature toggle as protected, so every
pre-deploy Codex thread failed with `run.attach cannot change protected
launch arguments`
> - Same-run recovery then tried to replace the thread, the replacement
failed, and the tasks became blocked for an operator
> - This pull request treats Codex feature toggles as controller launch
policy, so a saved thread adopts the current toggles and restarts on the
same thread
> - The benefit is that a release that turns a Codex feature on or off
no longer strands every saved Codex thread

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19516

**What happened?**
After a staging deploy that included #19516, Codex agent runs on tasks
with a saved thread failed at the start. The run log showed
`native_session_recovery_failed: PRP command run.attach failed:
run.attach cannot change protected launch arguments` (error code
`native_session_interrupted`). Same-run retries then failed with
`runner_continuity_break_archive_failed` and
`runner_remote_state_unavailable`, and the tasks were blocked with
"Workspace repair required". Four tasks on one Codex agent showed this
first failure. Each one last ran successfully before the deploy.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a Codex task so that its thread is saved with the launch
arguments from before #19516 (`--disable image_generation`).
2. Deploy a revision that includes #19516.
3. Wake the same task again. `run.attach` sends the current arguments
without the toggle, and the runner rejects them.

**Expected behavior**
The saved thread continues under the current launch policy.

**Root cause**
`CodexCommandExecutor::stable_launch_args` drops only the per-run
filesystem and shell-environment entries before it compares saved and
current arguments. All other arguments, including Codex
`--enable`/`--disable` feature toggles, must be identical. The
controller computes the toggles from Paperclip policy for every launch,
so any change to that policy made every saved thread impossible to
attach.

## What Changed

- `provider_backend.rs`: `stable_launch_args` also skips `--enable
<feature>` and `--disable <feature>` pairs and the
`--enable=<feature>`/`--disable=<feature>` form. The function contract
comment now lists the rebindable arguments. `run.attach` then adopts the
controller's current toggles. Because the arguments changed, the
existing path stops the provider and restarts it on the same thread.
- New test
`saved_thread_adopts_the_controllers_current_codex_feature_policy`:
- A thread saved with `--disable image_generation` attaches with the
current arguments, keeps its thread ID, and records the new arguments.
  - A new `--disable` toggle (a tighter policy) is also adopted.
- A new `--enable` toggle is adopted in both flag forms, and the thread
ID stays the same.
- A sandbox bypass flag, a different `default_permissions` profile, and
a different subcommand are still rejected with "protected launch
arguments", and the saved state does not change.

## Verification

- Red on `master` (8621bcf53e) with only the new test added:
  ```
test
provider_backend::tests::saved_thread_adopts_the_controllers_current_codex_feature_policy
... FAILED
a saved thread must follow the current feature policy:
DurableRunnerError("run.attach cannot change protected launch
arguments", None, None)
  ```
- Integration regression
`tests/codex_provider.rs::saved_codex_thread_attaches_after_a_release_changes_its_feature_toggles`
drives the real durable executor with the fake Codex app-server. It
saves a thread with `--disable image_generation`, attaches with the
current arguments, runs a second turn, and checks that the provider
restarted once. A sandbox-bypass change is still rejected. Red on
unfixed source:
  ```
the saved thread adopts the current feature toggles:
DurableRunnerError("run.attach cannot change protected launch
arguments", None, None)
  ```
Green with the fix. The full `codex_provider` binary passes (116
passed).
- Green after the fix (unit test):
  ```
test
provider_backend::tests::saved_thread_adopts_the_controllers_current_codex_feature_policy
... ok
  ```
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --lib`: 560 passed, 0 failed.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --no-fail-fast`: all Codex,
native-provider-backend, and durable-recovery integration binaries pass.
Some tests in `acpx_park_readiness` and `stdio_mcp` failed. Different
tests in these same binaries also fail on unmodified `master` on this
machine. They are timing tests under load and do not use this code.
- Not run: a live staging attach with a pre-#19516 thread. The runner
binary in a sandbox must match the controller's binary digest, so this
fix reaches sandboxes with the server deploy.

## Risks

- A saved thread now accepts any `--enable`/`--disable` toggle that the
controller sends. The controller is the only source of `run.attach`, and
a new thread gets the same toggles. A tightened policy now also applies
to saved threads, where before the saved thread was stranded.
- The sandbox, permission profile, approval, model, and subcommand
checks do not change.
- When the toggles change, the warm provider process restarts on the
same thread once. This is the existing path for changed runtime
arguments.

## Model Used

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 f4b19e4231 fix(runner): finalize a durable proposed result when restore loses its Codex turn (#19658)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native Codex runs survive control-plane restarts: runnerd restores
the provider conversation, and the control plane continues the task from
its checkpoint
> - A hard kill can land after the agent proposed its result
(`run.result.proposed`) but before the provider turn ended
> - The restored runner then proves that the turn ended with the
accepted result. It records `session.reconciled` and `run.terminal`, but
no provider turn terminal
> - The Codex recovery read did not see that turn as ended, so recovery
failed with "persisted active turn … is missing from thread/read".
Retries ran out, and the Retry re-ran finished work
> - This pull request lets recovery settle that turn with its durable
result
> - The benefit is that a task that already finished its work continues
to finalization after a restart, instead of failing and redoing the work

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19525, #19591, #19539, #19501

**What happened?**
In a restart storm, a native Codex task (B1) proposed a complete
`paperclip.run_result.v1` with passing tests. The control plane accepted
the completion tool call. About 9 s later, a K1 (SIGKILL and restart of
the control plane) killed the controller, runnerd, and the Codex
app-server. After startup, `resume_dead_runner` resumed the same run two
times. Each resume spent about 25 s in `runner.session.startup` and
failed with `native_session_recovery_failed: HarnessReconciliationError:
persisted active turn <id> is missing from thread/read`. Then
`native_session_retry_exhausted`, replay was blocked
(`preserve_without_replay_v1`), and the run ended
`native_session_interrupted`. The task needed a Retry, which re-ran the
finished work.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a native Codex task through runnerd.
2. Let the agent call `paperclip_finish`, and let Paperclip accept the
result.
3. Kill the controller, runnerd, and Codex before the provider turn
ends.
4. Let restart recovery resume the run.

Durable evidence from the kept instance:
- The run events have `run.result.proposed` for the turn, then a
`completion.tool_accepted` span, then the kill.
- The saved checkpoint has `activeTurnId` set to that turn and
`semanticResult: null`.
- The Codex rollout on disk does contain the turn. The provider did
persist it.
- The runnerd journal for the first resume has `session.reconciled
{previousProviderTurnId: <turn>, activeProviderTurnId: null}` and then
`run.terminal {turnTerminalState: completed, runTerminalState:
succeeded, reportedWorkDisposition: done}`. It has no `turn.*` event for
that turn. The runnerd Codex provider state shows
`completedTurnAuthoritative: true` and `completedProviderTurnId:
<turn>`.

**Expected behavior**
Recovery finalizes the accepted result. It does not re-run the task.

**Actual behavior**
The runnerd Codex transport builds the recovery `thread/read` reply from
runnerd's journal. It looked only for
`turn.completed|failed|interrupted|cancelled` events that name the turn.
Runnerd's "turn ended with an accepted result" branch
(`provider_backend.rs`, `recovered_turn_ended_with_result`) emits only
the reconciliation and the run terminal. So the reply omitted the turn,
and `CodexHarnessSession.reconcile()` threw at
`codex-harness-session.ts:796`. The second resume read the same journal
and failed the same way.

## What Changed

- `runnerd-codex-transport.ts`: a new `runnerdRecoveredTurnTerminal`
helper selects the terminal for a restored turn. A provider `turn.*`
terminal that names the turn wins, as before, with its cause. A
`run.terminal` that follows a `session.reconciled` that names the turn
as the ended previous turn (no active turn, no later `turn.started`) now
also settles that turn, with the run terminal's `turnTerminalState`. The
`thread/read` wait loop uses this helper.
- `codex-harness-session.ts`: `reconcile()` now settles a checkpointed
active turn that provider history no longer contains when the session
holds the semantic result that this exact turn proposed (`resultTurnId`
equals the turn). Recovery restores that result from the durable
`run.result.proposed` event. Without such a result, a missing turn still
fails closed.
- `codex-harness-session.ts`: the same rule applies when the restored
runner reports that turn `failed` with `provider_turn_lost_on_restore`.
This happens when the runner cannot prove the accepted result itself.
Later recoveries keep the settled outcome. Without a held result, a
restore-lost turn keeps its existing failure and same-conversation
continuation.
- `fake-codex-app-server`: a test-only `--hold-after-terminal-result`
flag keeps the turn open after an accepted completion report.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: one additive paragraph on this recovery
rule.

## Verification

- Red before the fix, real `paperclip-runnerd` and fake Codex: `pnpm
--filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec vitest run
src/live/runnerd-restart-continuation.test.ts -t "durable proposed
result"` failed with `native_session_recovery_failed:
HarnessReconciliationError: persisted active turn provider-turn-1 is
missing from thread/read` at `native-session-runtime.ts:2267`. This is
the same stack as the incident.
- Green after the fix: the run finalizes on `provider-turn-1` with the
proposed result and `runTerminalState: succeeded`. It has no
`session.failed` or `turn.failed`, and Codex received only one
`turn/start` (no re-run). With the transport fix alone, the test passes
in about 5 s. With only the session fix, it also passes (about 30 s,
through the 5 s read wait).
- Driver red/green:
`src/drivers/codex/codex-app-server-driver.recovery.test.ts -t "missing
persisted turn"`. The settle case failed before the fix (`recovered:
false`) and passes after it. The guard case (the held result belongs to
another turn) still fails closed. The existing "fails recovery
explicitly when the persisted active turn is missing or replaced" test
still passes.
- Driver red/green for the restore-lost case: `-t "restore-lost turn"`.
The held=true case failed before the fix and passes after it. The
held=false case still maps `turn.failed` with the lost cause.
- Transport unit test: `runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts -t "reconciled
result terminal"` covers the run-terminal rule and its negative cases.
- Suites: `src/drivers/codex/`, `src/native-session-runtime.test.ts`,
`src/backends/`, `src/live/runnerd-restart-continuation.test.ts`, and
`src/live/runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts` pass. Some load-sensitive
tests time out at host load 25–30 and pass when rerun alone. The two
`proves local suspension after an event backlog … (1024 suffix deltas)`
cases also time out on unmodified master.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner typecheck:typescript`
passes.
- Live chaos replay with real Codex: K1 0–3 s after
`run.result.proposed`, 3/3 PASS (R1). Each case resumed the same run,
which ended `succeeded`. No Retry was needed and no work was re-run.
Details are in the comment below.

## Risks

- The transport rule accepts a run terminal only directly after
runnerd's own reconciliation that names the ended turn with no active
turn. Runnerd emits that pair only after it restored the conversation
and proved the turn ended. A provider turn terminal still wins. Other
run terminals do not settle a turn.
- The session rules use only a result that Paperclip already holds for
the exact turn. The control plane accepted that result before the kill.
A later provider terminal for that turn cannot change the outcome. The
finalizer can already interrupt a provider after an accepted result.
- A missing turn without a durable result still fails closed. Its
outcome is unknown, and the existing Retry stays available.
- No profile, schema, pack contract, or database changes. The Rust
change touches only the fake Codex test binary.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 374a918d67 fix(runner): retain qualified OpenCode artifacts for cold recovery (#19622)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native recovery must keep admitted provider state and useful
workspace files.
> - OpenCode binds its saved session to exact executable paths and
hashes.
> - A replacement image can remove those files even when session data is
saved.
> - Retaining a manifest alone cannot restore the missing launch files.
> - This pull request saves the qualified files before provider work and
restores the same owned paths.
> - The benefit is cold continuity without relaxing the Runner guard or
replaying a prior turn.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19558. That fix retains the selected pack for ordinary
continuation. This change adds durable file retention for a cold
allocation. Related #19487 adjusts the admission budget; it does not
retain launch files. A search of open and closed OpenCode cold/durable
artifact PRs found no duplicate.

**What happened?**

A saved OpenCode session could outlive the image that supplied its Node
executable, proxy, and native executable. A new image supplied different
bytes. The Runner then correctly refused the changed launch profile. The
saved harness did not contain the old files.

**Expected behavior**

Core must save qualified launch files before the first turn. It must
restore those exact files under the same owned account and absolute
paths. Unknown ownership, missing files, and changed hashes must still
stop recovery.

**Steps to reproduce**

Start an admitted remote OpenCode session. Save its workspace, encrypted
checkpoint, and harness data. Destroy the original allocation and
controller files. Restore into a new allocation with an image whose
qualified proxy has different bytes. Resume the same session. The new
opt-in local qualification command automates this path with actual
OpenCode and a local synthetic model.

## What Changed

- Store company-bound, encrypted launch objects and canonical run/backup
references. Generate migration 0438 through the normal database
workflow.
- Stage qualified Node, proxy, and native OpenCode files under a private
content-addressed OS-account home. Record the account UID and exact
launch paths. Preserve the Rust profile guard.
- Gate first provider work on durable capture under the current native
claim. Bound Stop/deadline waits while the actual late transfer keeps
its worker and scratch ownership until settlement. Restore cold caches
with verified staging and atomic rename. Keep live reattachment and
historical image-rooted sessions on their existing paths.
- Reuse bounded canonical expiration owners. Atomically fence old
checkpoint authority with a strict company/run-scoped retirement marker
before external deletion. Keep its indexed cleanup anchor across failed
deletes and restart. Preserve earlier resume handles and reject later
header or source-consumer writes. Add no idle scan or network call
inside a transaction.
- Add storage, race, executor, filesystem, and actual Rust resume
regressions. Add the opt-in local Linux qualification command and
operating limits in `doc/opencode-cold-recovery.md`.

## Verification

- RED before repair: real PostgreSQL/AES cold restore lacked the launch
files; normal executor preparation chose the new image pack. Separate
regressions exposed lost upload receipts, missing cache repair,
last-owner retirement, an account-UID mismatch, and a resume-handle race
during external deletion. Each expected failure was captured before its
repair.
- Local qualification before the final master integration: 1,169
executor tests, 233 storage/archive/admission/expiration tests, all
seven server typecheck layers, migration safety, and the actual Rust
cold-resume test passed.
- The maintained Linux command passed with two cached immutable
Paperclip images whose proxy hashes differ. It removed the original
account/controller trees, restored the production published cwd under a
new lease, resumed the same actual OpenCode session, kept a useful file
and prior model context, and made one new synthetic model request. No
external model call or network was available in either container.
- The object-store fixture uses real encrypted StorageService streams
with an independent owned local directory. It is not hosted S3
acceptance or a complete task HTTP/actor workflow. Historical tasks
still require normal effects reconciliation and recovery after
deployment.
- Review regressions reproduced partial-cache publication,
resume-versus-deletion, fresh-writer and source-consumer resurrection,
and unbounded Stop/deadline waits before each repair. They now pass
through real filesystem, encrypted storage, PostgreSQL, and SDK
boundaries. File validation is split from database ownership (384/831
source lines).
- Clean runtime head `aadab7acc69ff959678030db46ffe2dcfbefe28f`: the
maintained actual OpenCode cold qualification passed with `dirty:false`.
It preserved the provider session and recorded launch paths, restored
useful workspace content and prior model context, and made exactly one
resumed synthetic model request. The 314,560,000-byte launch capture
took 23.118 seconds; the later harness was 833,536 bytes. Subsequent
repairs change backup-reference retirement and governed continuity-cache
classification; capture, restore, launch, and published-workspace inputs
are unchanged, so that runtime receipt remains scoped to those paths.
The continuity-break consumer is verified separately.
- Retention repair `c14d386cecf7123257918ba6a8d47307df2da397`: 68/68
affected real PostgreSQL/AES storage tests and 15/15 focused executor
authority/admission cases pass. All seven server typecheck layers pass
(source layers and unchanged test shards, with the final 590-file test
layer repeated after fixture edits). All review threads have
evidence-backed resolutions. Its subsequent CI caught the separate
lifecycle-classification gap described below. The refreshed Paperclip
review reported paused work, not a completed new review.
- Final head `4d1cd3e3309e328b11abc85adc6d78c6d0c7f55d`: all 19 focused
root-entry/executor cases and all three source declaration layers pass.
[Greptile reviewed this exact head at
5/5](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/19622#issuecomment-6695984874).
Final-head [CI
verification](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42308908167/job/128214100339)
passes: 60 successful checks, five conditional skips, and the explicitly
neutral paused Paperclip review. No check is pending or failing.
- CI also caught the launch cache missing from the session-root
lifecycle contract. Both the writer scan and a real governed-replacement
consumer failed locally before repair: old launch bytes remained in the
active root. The cache now archives with the prior session state; the
consumer verifies exact bytes are preserved in the archive and absent
from the active root.
- The latest review found that backup retirement could delete an
independent run pin while a selected session retained the checkpoint. A
real PostgreSQL/AES regression failed before the repair. Backup-only
ownership now uses a NULL-safe exact backup predicate; the run pin
belongs to fenced checkpoint expiration. The regression verifies
checkpoint decryption and launch-file restoration after pending-backup
cleanup, followed by deletion only after removing the final resume
handle.
- An executor first-session case checks new-session durable capture
through the real capture helper and receipt propagation into the actual
harness manifest at the backup boundary. Real storage cases verify the
run-profile receipt and canonical backup/run pins.
- Sequential closure reuse and simultaneous first admission are
different scopes. A deterministic two-uploader test measures both
independent uploads, one verified ready winner, loser-only deletion, and
usable restoration for both runs. Each capture is bounded to 512 MiB and
five minutes; up to three pending receipts per run are retained. There
is no claim of global single-flight capture or a company-wide egress
bound.
- Earlier optional warm-ownership verification encountered missing local
binaries. After exact-source setup, all nine ownership assertions
passed; two other suites encountered local PostgreSQL setup/teardown
contention, so those interrupted attempts are not passes. Required
current-head CI supplies the broad final coverage. No deployment or
hosted historical recovery is claimed.

## Risks

- This adds two tables and a forward migration. The file object is
bounded to 512 MiB. Capture adds one initial transfer; later harness
archives exclude those large files. Company-scoped ready objects are
shared and retained until the last canonical owner retires. Concurrent
initial admissions can duplicate bounded transfers; each keeps
independent ownership and cancellation rather than waiting on another
controller. A continuity break retains the controller cache with its
prior state until normal session-root cleanup, adding up to one bounded
launch closure per retired state.
- Cold continuity requires the same qualified Linux platform, supported
runtime dependencies, owned account UID/home, and published absolute
cwd. A mismatch fails closed. No alias or Rust guard change is included.
- Existing image-rooted profiles have no retained file object. This
change cannot backfill missing historical binaries. A fresh governed
session must reconcile prior effects first.
- Live reattachment does not read artifact objects. Storage or
provenance failures before a new turn hold admission. They do not grant
new execution, model, tool, or replay authority.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and local browser tools. The exact served model ID and
context window are not exposed in this session. No claim is made for
unavailable model metadata.

DottaandPaperclip b55d8a9201 fix(runner): retain admitted OpenCode pack on ordinary continuation (#19558)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and preserves their work across runs.
> - Native OpenCode turns can restore a saved provider session after the
prior daemon stops.
> - The Rust provider binds that saved state to exact qualified launch
paths and artifact bytes.
> - Ordinary continuation selected the current provider pack, although
live reattachment retained the admitted pack.
> - A new proxy or a diagnostics setting could therefore replace the
launch profile behind saved state.
> - This pull request retains the recorded pack for ordinary OpenCode
continuation with a verified durable binding.
> - The benefit is compatible continuation without weakening artifact
integrity or granting replay authority.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #17512, #18237. These added saved authority and compatible pack
reuse. This change covers ordinary OpenCode continuation.

**What happened?**

An ordinary remote OpenCode continuation could select a newer pack while
restoring its existing provider session. The Rust recovery guard then
rejected the changed launch profile. The same error can occur after a
controller release changes the bundled proxy.

**Expected behavior**

A continuation with a valid saved binding and pack receipt uses the same
admitted artifacts. If those artifacts are unavailable, it holds the
saved state instead of selecting another pack or creating a provider
session.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Admit a remote OpenCode session with a qualified protected provider
pack.
2. Persist its pack receipt and suspended durable Runner state.
3. Change the controller bundle to a valid pack with a different proxy
digest.
4. Start an ordinary continuation with diagnostics enabled.

The new executor regression fails before the repair because selection
rejects the available original pack in favor of the new bundle. It
passes after the repair.

## What Changed

- Retain the saved provider pack for ordinary OpenCode continuation with
a verified durable session binding.
- Keep provider-pack retention independent of surviving-daemon identity:
a new daemon records its current binary, and an authorized continuity
break restores normal compatible pack selection.
- Test retained pack selection after a proxy upgrade and fail closed
when only a newer pack is available.
- Test the real Rust executor with changed, valid proxy file bytes. It
rejects drift without changing saved state and accepts the original
artifacts again.
- Document the selection rule and its limits.

## Verification

- Initial prevention focused Vitest: 220 passed across native session
execution, pack authority, pack verification and pack preparation. The
executor regression was observed failing before the production change.
- Rust native provider tests: all five OpenCode tests passed. These
include the existing drift guard, actual changed proxy bytes, original
artifact restoration and restart-lost turn behavior.
- Advisory review follow-up: reproduced stale daemon identity in the
actual executor and incompatible pack selection after a governed
continuity archive. Both fail before their corresponding repairs and
pass after them. Added an executor regression for a missing authority
receipt; it remains at the current release integrity gate without
creating a new receipt.
- Updated head `639c080856` integrates master `17901d74ba` by normal
merge. Affected Vitest: 202 passed across four files, including all new
review regressions; all seven server typecheck layers passed. Exact-head
CI and fresh Greptile/Paperclip review are pending. The prior head had
57 successful checks plus successful Snyk and Greptile 5/5; those
results do not qualify this revision.
- Environment: macOS arm64, Node 26.4.0, locked pnpm 9.15.4
dependencies, controlled remote command boundary and real Rust provider
executor. No paid provider calls or hosted retries.
- This is a bounded prevention change. It does not deliver historical
provider artifacts to a replacement sandbox or replacement controller.
Missing saved receipts or unavailable old artifacts remain a separate
cold-recovery gap. No full hosted recovery is claimed.

## Risks

- A continuation now requires its exact recorded pack when it has a
durable binding. A newer installed pack cannot substitute for missing
historical bytes.
- Fresh launches, other providers and explicit continuity replacement
keep their existing paths. Current ownership, company, model, permission
and receipt binding checks remain in effect.
- The repair does not relax the Rust launch-profile guard, replay prior
tool effects, or authorize a new provider conversation. Existing
published review receipts remain history.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The host does not expose the exact model ID
or context window. Capabilities used: reasoning, code editing, shell
execution, tests and authenticated read-only browser diagnostics.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 a0cba70f18 fix(runner): continue restart-interrupted ACPX and OpenCode turns (#19501)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs keep their provider conversation when the control plane
restarts
> - A local Codex turn lost in a restart already continues once in the
same conversation (#15297)
> - ACPX (Claude and the other ACPX profiles) and OpenCode took a
different path: the runner closed the lost turn as a provider failure
> - The task then blocked with "Provider turn failed", and the user's
queued follow-up stayed unread
> - A restart must not need a user action when continuing is safe
> - This pull request gives ACPX and OpenCode the same recoverable
restart-loss cause and the same single continuation as Codex
> - The benefit is that work interrupted by a controller restart
finishes on its own

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #15297 (Codex continuation), #19399 (restart-interrupted turn
hook), #19471 (harness fix used for the live reruns).

**What happened?**

After a control-plane restart during an active native ACPX Claude turn,
the task ended `blocked` with `native_provider_terminal_failed: Provider
turn failed`. The queued follow-up comment was not consumed. No
continuation started. The next run then failed with
`native_session_cleanup_quarantined`. A native OpenCode run killed
mid-turn ended the same way (`turn.failed` with `error: null`).

**Expected behavior**

When the old provider process is gone and the conversation can be
restored, continue the task once in the same conversation. When that is
not safe, record an honest restart cause instead of a generic provider
failure.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a native ACPX Claude task on a local runner.
2. Submit a follow-up comment while the turn is active.
3. Restart the control plane while the turn is still running.
4. Run `pnpm test:e2e:runner -- --max-automatic-retries 0 --id
everyday-workflows.runner-acpx-claude.local.recover-controller`.

**Root cause**

- `runner-core/src/acpx_provider_backend.rs`
`restore_session_if_needed`: a saved `turn_active` state always closed
the session. It recorded `turn.failed` with only a top-level `code:
acpx_active_turn_recovery_closed` and no `error` object. It also emitted
`run.terminal`.
- The runnerd transport forwards only `error`, so the controller saw
`error: null` and reported generic `provider_turn_failed`.
- `runner-core/src/provider_backend.rs` gave the recoverable
`provider_turn_lost_on_restore` cause only to `provider_label ==
"codex"`. OpenCode shares that backend.
- `nativeRestartInterruptedTurnId` accepted only `codex_app_server`. The
runtime continuation gate accepted only `provider.kind === "codex"`.
- Two follow-on defects appeared once the continuation ran live:
- The restored ACPX provider rejected the controller's result for the
lost turn's open semantic call. That call never settled.
- The restored provider's MCP request ids restart. The controller keys
semantic calls by `hash(runId, callId)`. The continuation's first
Paperclip tool call reused an earlier id, was treated as already
answered, and hung. After the result was accepted,
`runner_settlement_incomplete` failed the run.

## What Changed

- ACPX runner: for an active turn lost to a runner restart, prove that
the original provider lifetime lost its fence quorum. Then restore the
same conversation and record `turn.failed` with `error: { code:
"provider_turn_lost_on_restore", recoverable: true }`. Keep the run open
for the controller's continuation. An accepted result, an unanswered
runtime request, or an active goal keeps the old close behavior. So do
an unproven lifetime fence and a failed restore.
- ACPX runner fallback close: add a structured `error`
(`acpx_active_turn_recovery_closed`, not recoverable, with an honest
restart message), so the cause survives the transport.
- ACPX runner: track open semantic calls durably. On restore, retire the
lost turn's open calls. Acknowledge their controller results as
`retired` and do not send them to the new provider.
- ACPX sidecar: when the sidecar restores an existing session, prefix
forwarded semantic `callId`s with a per-process namespace
(`r<hex>:<id>`). Fresh sessions keep raw ids.
- OpenCode runner: give OpenCode the same recoverable cause and open run
as Codex (`restart_lost_turn_is_continuable`). Cursor Cloud stays
excluded because its agent runs remotely.
- Runner TS: `nativeRestartInterruptedTurnId` accepts `acpx_runtime` and
`opencode_server`. The runtime continuation gate accepts `acpx` and
`opencode`. All other Codex safety rules are unchanged: one
continuation, admitted dead-runner restart only, no compaction, goal,
semantic result, or pending runtime request.
- Docs: `doc/execution-semantics.md` and `doc/run-log-events.md`.

## Verification

Red, then green, at each layer:

- Rust `tests/acpx_warm_attachment.rs`
`restores_the_conversation_after_losing_an_active_turn_to_a_runner_restart`.
Red: status `closed`. Then red on the lost call's result: "tool result
does not match a pending provider call". Green after the fix.
- Rust `tests/native_provider_backend.rs`
`restart_lost_opencode_turn_records_a_recoverable_cause`, with the
qualified OpenCode launch fixture. Red: `error` was `null`. Green after
the fix.
- Rust unit test
`restart_lost_turns_continue_only_for_locally_restored_providers`
(Codex, OpenCode yes; Cursor Cloud no).
- TS `native-session-runtime.test.ts` "continues a restart-lost
acpx_runtime / opencode_server turn once". Red:
`NativeProviderTerminalFailure provider_turn_lost_on_restore`. Green:
exactly one continuation, which does not resend the task.
- TS `acpx-runtime-sidecar.test.ts`: a restored provider's call ids are
namespaced and resolve.
- Server `native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts`: a
checkpointed `acpx_runtime` or `opencode_server` restart interruption is
claimed as `resume_dead_runner`. Red without the driver gate. Green with
it.
- Two `native_provider_backend.rs` tests asserted the old
close-on-restore result. They now assert the new contract. Their real
invariant still holds: the delivered response is never replayed.

Suites run locally on the final revision:

- runner-core: `cargo test --no-fail-fast acpx`, `--test
native_provider_backend` (38), `--test acpx_warm_attachment`, `--test
codex_provider restart_lost`
- runner TS: `native-session-runtime`, `runnerd-restart-continuation`,
Codex driver recovery, contracts, and `acpx-runtime-sidecar` (all pass)
- server: `native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts` (80
passed)
- `pnpm --filter "@paperclipai/paperclip-runner..." build` (all
generated-contract checks pass)

Live runner E2E (local, real Claude via ACPX, macOS arm64):

- `everyday-workflows.runner-acpx-claude.local.recover-controller`: PASS
twice in a row on the final runner code. The restart crossed an active
turn. The task finished `done`, the queued follow-up was consumed, the
ZIP download was verified, and there were no failure codes.
- `stock-harness.runner-acpx-claude.local.continuity-restart`
regression: PASS.
- Earlier failing reruns are kept as evidence of the follow-on defects:
one harness `kill EPERM` while stopping the server (unrelated to this
change), one hang on the colliding call id, and one
`runner_settlement_incomplete`.

## Risks

- A continuation can run more work in the restored conversation. Its
prompt requires inspecting state before repeating an uncertain action,
as for Codex.
- The ACPX restore waits up to 5 s for the original provider lifetime
fence before it falls back to the old close.
- The ACPX provider state file gains two fields with defaults. Older
saved states still load. A downgraded runner cannot read state that a
newer runner wrote with these fields.
- Restored ACPX sessions now forward prefixed call ids. Only fresh
sessions keep raw ids. Live proof covers Claude. Codex-ACP, Pi, Cursor,
Copilot, Grok, Kimi, and Antigravity share this path, but this PR proves
them only by unit tests and code review.
- OpenCode is covered by the runner fixture and gate tests. The live
OpenCode restart-chaos cell was not rerun here.
- `runner-core`
`unconfirmed_suspension_state_becomes_recoverable_only_after_cleanup_and_suspend`
is flaky when run in parallel. It also fails with the new path disabled,
so it predates this change.

## Model Used

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

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 5e62d8ee82 Report the native private host-control protocol version (#19488)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native Runner executes agent work and reports its binary contract
through build metadata.
> - Unix Runner already supports a private host-control socket for park,
claim, and retire requests.
> - A host cannot identify that protocol from the current metadata.
> - This PR adds an explicit version field for that existing private
protocol.
> - Hosts can verify the selected binary before opening the private
channel.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19140 and #19129, which added the existing native lifecycle and
private channel.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The `paperclip-runnerd --build-metadata` response.

**Current behavior**

The native binary implements the private fd 4 protocol on Unix. Its
metadata has no field that identifies this protocol. Recovery versions
describe different contracts.

**Proposed behavior**

Report `privateHostControlVersion: 1` on Unix builds. Omit the field on
other builds. Keep ordinary artifact checks and runtime behavior
unchanged.

**Reason and benefit**

A host can verify protocol support on the selected binary before using
the channel. This field does not mean a provider is ready to park or
that a host implements public release/resume or qualified sleep/wake.

**Breaking changes**

The JSON response gains one optional field on Unix. Current artifact
parsers and launch checks accept extra fields. Binary contract version 2
stays unchanged.

## What Changed

- Add the Unix-only private host-control metadata version.
- Check the exact version and non-Unix absence in metadata unit and real
CLI tests. Keep hosted parking and public release/resume fields absent.
- Add a regression test that proves ordinary artifact parsing accepts
and ignores the new field.
- Document the field, exact-version checks, and separate provider and
host qualification.

## Verification

- On macOS arm64 with Rust 1.97.1, passed narrow offline, locked Cargo
tests for the metadata unit, six existing private-protocol cases,
wrong-fd CLI rejection, and real CLI metadata output.
- Passed `cargo fmt --manifest-path
packages/paperclip-runner/runner/Cargo.toml --all -- --check`.
- Passed `vitest run src/evals/runnerd-artifact.test.ts` from the Runner
package: 5 tests. Initial collection could not resolve Ajv in the fresh
worktree. Connecting existing local dependencies resolved that setup
failure; no source change was needed.
- `git diff --check` passed. Reviewed the diff for secrets, personal
data, and private references.
- GitHub CI passed on commit `0790af690afaff10f3b69fd9130b5be1c5bab38c`:
[main PR

and [Windows
Runner](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42248006518).
Windows tests cover omission of the field on non-Unix builds. All 61
current-head check runs settled without failure; the latest status
context passed.
- [Standard Greptile
review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/19488#issuecomment-6689260747)
scored that same commit 5/5 with no actionable findings or unresolved
threads.
- No live provider or host sleep/wake test was run for this
metadata-only change.

## Risks

The main risk is treating protocol support as permission to park a
provider or as proof that a host supports release/resume. The
documentation keeps those checks separate. No caller enables the channel
from this field in this PR. Current parsers check named fields or
project known fields, so the optional field does not change ordinary
artifact checks. No migrations, new dependencies, runtime flags,
checkpoints, or provider pins.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol (`gpt-6.1-sol`), High reasoning, through Codex with
tool use and code execution. Independent agent review checked the
metadata boundary and compatibility. The context window size is not
exposed by this session.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 6ca7b151f7 feat: compact an agent's context from the task Properties panel (#19378)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A task's Properties panel shows the assignee agent's context window
(paperclipai/paperclip#19273)
> - The board can see that the context is nearly full, but it cannot act
on it
> - A full context makes the agent compact at an unplanned time, often
in the middle of work
> - This pull request adds "Compact now" to the Context hover card
> - The benefit is that the board can compact the agent's context
between runs, at a time it chooses

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs paperclipai/paperclip#19273

**Problem**
The Context row shows how full the agent's context window is. The board
cannot ask the agent to compact it.

**Proposed solution**
A "Compact now" button in the Context hover card. It runs the harness's
own compaction: Codex `thread/compact/start`, and Claude's `/compact`
command through ACP.

**Alternatives considered**
A separate PRP `session.compact` command. Both harnesses run compaction
as a turn, so a compaction turn keeps the existing durable turn binding,
interruption, and recovery. A separate command needs a second turn
lifecycle.

## What Changed

- UI: the Context hover card shows Compact now with three states:
available, Compacting…, and unavailable with a reason (agent mid-run,
harness unsupported, task closed). The Storybook story shows each state.
- Server: `POST /api/issues/:id/context/compact` (board only,
`decideIssueAccess` `issue:mutate`, activity log
`issue.context_compaction_requested`). It queues a short run marked by
`contextSnapshot.contextCompactionRequestId`. `GET
/issues/:id/context-usage` returns the `compaction` state.
- Server: a compaction run does no task work. The native status arbiter
preserves the task status. The lifecycle skips handoff, liveness
continuation, review-path disposition and the issue comment, as it does
for goal-control runs.
- Runner TS: `startTurn({ compact: true })`. The Codex harness session
sends `thread/compact/start`. The runnerd transport maps it to PRP
`turn.start` with `compact: true` (Codex) or `text: "/compact"`
(Claude/ACPX). The native runtime option `sessionCompaction` requires a
resumed session and settles with a synthesized yielded result.
- Runner Rust: `turn.start` accepts `compact: true` for Codex.
`CodexProvider::start_compaction_turn` sends `thread/compact/start` and
binds the turn from the `turn/started` that follows the empty response.
- Fix (from #19273): Codex emitted `context.compacted` on both the start
and the end of one compaction item. It now emits it once, and the count
is distinct by `compactionId`.
- Fix (from #19273): the conversation event view dropped
`context.compacted`, so a finished run never showed the divider. The
view now keeps compactions, plus context readings for runs that
compacted. A finished run's compactions show as thread dividers.
- Fix: the Codex harness stamps before/after sizes on the compaction
event. Codex reports the compacted size before the compaction item ends,
so the old neighbour-based guess showed the wrong size.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, `pnpm check:token-gates`, `node
scripts/storybook-catalog.mjs`: pass.
- New tests: `server/src/__tests__/context-compaction.test.ts`,
`status-arbiter.test.ts`, `issue-context-usage.test.ts` (duplicate
compaction counts once), `ui/.../context-usage-row.test.tsx`,
`native-session-runtime.test.ts` (context compaction), Codex driver and
runnerd transport tests, Rust
`codex_compaction_turn_binds_the_turn_reported_after_its_empty_response`.
Rust `codex_provider` suite: 115 passed.
- `pnpm test:run` locally: one failure in
`chat-channels.integration.test.ts`. It reads
`.claude/skills/slack/SKILL.md` from the main checkout, which is not
present in this worktree. It is not related to this change.
- Live, local worktree instance, Codex agent on the Paperclip runner:
clicked Compact now. The run succeeded. Context went from 35k to 9.4k
tokens, and later 9.4k to 9.2k. The task stayed In Review. The thread
shows "Context compacted · 9.4k → 9.2k tokens" and the meter dropped.
- Live Claude proof: pending. The local Claude agent needs an Anthropic
API key. claude-agent-acp handles `/compact` as an echo-less turn, and
the runner already maps its "Compacting completed." notice to
`context.compacted`.

## Risks

- A compaction run resumes the agent's session. If the session cannot
resume, the run fails with `native_context_compaction_unavailable` and
the task is unchanged.
- Compact now is not available while the agent runs on the task, because
compaction interrupts the active turn.
- The conversation view now returns context readings for runs that
compacted. Runs that never compacted return the same events as before.
- An old runner binary ignores `compact` and rejects the `turn.start`
because it has no text. It does not start an ordinary turn.

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages work that AI agents execute through a Runner.
> - Core controls the work while the Runner owns the provider process.
> - Core can restart while an admitted provider turn is active.
> - Reconnect waits used to leave provider output in the process pipe.

Core reconnects.
> - This pull request drains passive local Codex output into bounded
durable storage between reconnect attempts.
> - Core receives the original events after recovery and keeps authority
over tools and approvals.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17594. Related work: merged #19353 supplies the Codex
receipt-limit fence and deadline-aware reconnect scheduler.

This PR now contains only shared passive intake and the already-live
native Codex adapter. A controller outage must preserve admitted work
and event identity without restoring a provider, sending a provider RPC,
or executing a tool during reconnect.

## What Changed

- Add a default no-op disconnected-poll hook. Managed providers and ACPX
retain that default.
- Drain passive frames from the existing local Codex process between
reconnect attempts. Requests, terminal reconciliation and lineage checks
wait for the connected path.
- Persist each accepted event before acknowledging the provider queue.
Soft-limit pressure retains the rejected suffix until Core ACKs free
space. Hard failures stop the owned provider and preserve the durable
prefix.
- Preserve credential observations and the existing lease, runtime,
grace and provider deadline bounds. Document the intake contract and
test replay through the real PRP controller.

## Verification

The slice was replayed onto master `bf10bc695a`. `git range-diff
f453509e6f..20626230b9 bf10bc695a..HEAD` reports an unchanged patch. The
diff has 11 files and contains no ACPX adapter or sidecar changes.

Targeted local checks on this head:

- `cargo test --manifest-path
packages/paperclip-runner/runner/Cargo.toml --locked -p
paperclip-runner-core --lib disconnected -- --test-threads=1`: 12
passed. These cover passive deferral, no restoration, the real managed
HTTP worker, durable backpressure, oversized output and existing
receipt-limit cleanup.
- The 10 `credential_observer::tests::` checks passed. The Runner daemon
and recovery example build, and workspace Rust formatting passes.
- `vitest run src/control-plane/runner-recovery-fixture.test.ts
--maxWorkers=1`: four passed. Both controller replacement modes retain
the same process and replay event identities. The deadline and
silent-handshake cases also pass.
- `vitest run src/live/runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts -t
late-remote-release-error --maxWorkers=1`: one passed. Whitespace and
added-line secret checks pass.

Earlier review found that disconnected ordinary polling could perform
synchronous managed history reads. The real-worker regression retained
here proves no history or stream-reopen request occurs until connected
polling. Earlier slice preparation hit a sandbox loopback denial and a
missing local daemon; the permitted loopback test and the test after
building the daemon both passed. The current-base checks above run with
those prerequisites in place.

Historical CI on the old combined head failed an unordered
AI-connections migration comparison. The faithful full-file local check
passed 158 tests, and the failure remains recorded
[here](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42112385671/job/127543554397).
Earlier receipt-limit delivery failures are addressed by merged #19353.
Previous review scores belong to the old combined diff. On current head
`b92d4b604ee6992eeefbc02c8d41ec4f2a608a4d`, [CI run
42125840239](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42125840239)
passed. All 59 checks completed with 55 successes and four intentional
skips. Standard review 13 and Apex review 14 each scored 5/5 on this
exact head, with zero comments and no unresolved threads. The single
Apex request is [recorded
here](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/19029#issuecomment-6671993072).

## Risks

During an outage, native Codex intake uses 25 ms ticks between reconnect
attempts. A provider request or terminal waits for Core. Saturation can
pause intake or produce a failure. Managed remote streams retain their
existing limits. Tests use controlled local providers; live provider
qualification and deployment are separate.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol (`gpt-6.1-sol`), high reasoning effort, through
Codex. Used source inspection, local native and PRP tests, and code
review.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

Nicky LeachandPaperclip b61a815d3d Enforce Codex receipt-limit deadlines while Core is offline (#19353)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip uses a Runner to execute agent work.
> - The Runner keeps a record of each tool call, called a receipt.
> - When that storage reaches its limit, the Runner asks Codex to stop.
> - Core can stop responding while the stop request is pending.
> - Codex may already have written its completion behind earlier output.
> - The Runner must keep its stop deadline and preserve that real
completion.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19029. This is its first isolated slice; #19029 remains unmerged.
Related #17594 covers controller replacement. Related #17516 retains
receipts during explicit stop; this change handles the autonomous
receipt-limit deadline.

## What Changed

- Keep the existing 2s/30s stop deadlines while Core is offline,
including when a connection waits for a reply. Other lease and runtime
deadlines still apply. The Runner sleeps between connection attempts and
deadline checks.
- Stop the owned local Codex process when its deadline expires. Read its
remaining output within the existing size and message limits, then
process it in order. Only after output has ended and all earlier
messages have been processed can the Runner report a missing completion.
- After the local process has stopped as requested, skip replies that
only reject or cancel old requests. Commands, user responses and actual
tool results still require successful delivery.
- Keep the stop behavior, regression tests and transport documentation
in this slice.

## Verification

Standalone checks on this branch:

- Seven existing Codex tool-record limit integration cases pass.
- Twenty focused checks cover deadline cleanup and retained output,
including 273 distinct messages followed by one real completion, missing
completion, and a pipe that stays open.
- Separate checks cover strict tool-result delivery, three process-stop
cases, and lease/runtime/reconnect time limits.
- Four controller process tests pass. They include Core accepting a
connection but never replying, and a reconnect delay longer than the
allowed recovery period.
- Existing warm attachment still retains the completed turn's remaining
output and usage.
- Rust formatting, diff checks and the local secret scan pass.

The extraction first omitted an existing test helper and the connected
retry preamble. Standalone compilation and receipt tests caught both
omissions. Restoring them produced the results above. Full regression
checks run in GitHub CI.

Hosted CI passed both native platforms and typecheck, but [server11
failed](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42118725143/job/127565828671)
one unchanged status-card test. Its fake clock advances while real
database work runs; the final clock assertion was 50 ms past its limit.
The identical test, service and scheduler passed all 36 cases in [the
earlier baseline
shard](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42111889388/job/127541685625).
The local comparison first needed a built SDK, then stopped at embedded
Postgres startup before any test ran. It did not reproduce the
assertion. The single failed-jobs-only retry passed. The original
failure and the blocked local comparison remain recorded here; the retry
does not establish a precise timing cause.

At exact head `f453509e6f`, all 59 hosted checks completed: 55 succeeded
and four were skipped. Snyk also passed. Standard review round 1 and
selected review round 2 each scored 5/5 on this head, with no unresolved
threads.

## Risks

The Runner now stops its local Codex process at the original deadline
even while Core is unavailable. If another program keeps the output pipe
open, or queued output exceeds the existing limits, the Runner cannot
confirm the outcome. It reports that uncertainty and keeps the records
already written to disk. Tests use real child processes with controlled
provider fixtures. Live provider and deployment qualification remain
separate.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol (`gpt-6.1-sol`), high reasoning effort, through
Codex. Used source inspection, native subprocess tests and targeted
TypeScript tests.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 2506bcdaf4 Admit exact stopped Runner sources under the current run lease (#19134)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native execution keeps provider state and a durable controller
journal.
> - A completed process can stop before the next run attaches.
> - The current run must own recovery of that exact source.
> - An old controller must lose permission to change the consumed source
journal.
> - This pull request adds explicit source admission and protected task
dispatch.
> - The benefit is a narrow recovery boundary that preserves the
original successful result.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Native prerequisites #19132 and #19153 are merged into master. This PR
targets master and updates the TypeScript Runner driver contract
alongside Core and SDK admission. This change adds the SDK and Core
admission boundary. Executor selection and fresh source preparation are
a separate change. Related #17916 supplies the workspace export holds
preserved here.

## What Changed

- Plugins advertise `codexSourceRecoveryVersion: 1` for Codex App Server
and `acpxSourceRecoveryVersion: 1` for ACPX. Hosts can qualify either,
both, or neither. Core selects the matching field, because a
stopped-source check for one provider cannot establish the other
provider’s recovery guarantees. ACPX orchestration is tracked separately
in #19196. Use the existing exact source identity and `resumeFrom` under
the authenticated current run. No public recovery mode is added. Require
the claimed source, current account and prepared launch at protected
dispatch.
- Keep the first source binding pinned on the consumer lease, including
after uncertain dispatch. A newly acquired coordinator can refresh only
the same source.
- Claim one stopped successful source under the current run's acquired
native lease. Store the token-free consumer reference in existing lease
metadata. Preserve the source status and result.
- Check the exact six source identity fields, encrypted journal header,
company, task, agent, environment, driver, workspace, account selection,
and current coordinator generation. Keep workspace export and legacy
settlement holds.
- Serialize claims and checkpoint writers in the same coordinator lock
order. Reject stale source writes after consumption. Check the current
consumer before recovered source writes.
- Check source admission before and after protected worker dispatch.
Keep the request and lease owned by the current run while the native
identity remains the source.
- Allow the same owner to prepare B after a fresh source submission,
using the exact consumed-source proof instead of a generic warm-reuse
flag. Recheck that proof after dispatch.
- Preserve ordinary cached adoption and repeated preparation after
launch. The current authenticated owner can differ from the adopted PRP
identity without requesting a new source launch. Keep ordinary suspended
recovery and live task attachment checks. Extract the shared source
resolver to avoid a module cycle, and make ordinary selection honor the
same durable source consumer.

## Verification

- Current head `cac9cf188a` includes merged #19300 and the symmetric
capabilities introduced in `b7e25a64b4`. The task-owner and warm-rebind
fixtures now identify their physical task. All 29 SDK schema cases, 95
Core ownership and source-admission cases, 25 native Codex and ACPX
recovery cases, and the binary metadata check passed on this head. The
SDK and Runner builds and server typecheck passed. Both native providers
reject the other provider’s capability. GitHub CI is green and [standard
Greptile scored this commit
5/5](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/19134#issuecomment-6645574114)
with no open threads.

- Previous head `bda49271a4ae362a15baf3fe6d6d297e25fd2000` is directly
based on master after #19132 and #19153 landed. [GitHub workflow
42072192023](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42072192023)
passed on its first attempt. All check runs completed successfully or as
intentional workflow skips; Snyk passed. Standard Greptile scored this
exact head 5/5. That review had no unresolved findings.
- Runner and SDK TypeScript builds and server typecheck passed. The
focused SDK, task-owner, task-runtime, PostgreSQL source and authority
suites passed all 161 cases. The production transport-factory getter
regression and 14 native-lane selection checks also passed.
- The Linux native lane executed the new ordinary warm A→B process case.
It kept one Runner/provider process and completed two turns on the same
thread. The eager-getter mutation fails with
`native_runner_source_attachment_pending`; preserving the live getter
passes. The production factory test changes the current owner after
transport creation and checks that same options object.
- PostgreSQL cases cover both concurrent source-writer/claim orders,
exact source submission under the current caller, source-switch denial
after uncertain dispatch, same-source coordinator refresh, stale
same-boot generation, corrupted journal headers, competing consumers,
account changes and export holds.
- The protected dispatch sequence submits A, prepares B and retries B
preparation. It rejects undispatched sources, changed accounts and
foreign target bindings. Source status and accepted result remain
unchanged.
- Ordinary adopted A preparation under current B, repeated ordinary
preparation after launch and ordinary suspended continuation retain
their existing path. Absent or false claims preserve ordinary identity
denial; malformed claims fail closed.
- Earlier development attempts exposed ordinary preparation regressions
and the live-getter omission; the final regressions cover those fixes.
The first embedded PostgreSQL attempt needed missing library aliases
repaired in ignored dependencies. Those attempts are not passing
evidence.
- Historical, superseded CI heads had unchanged UI fake-timer and
Playwright health-response-lifetime failures. Their isolated cases and
scoped retries passed. The response-lifetime cause remains unproven. No
UI/test timeout was changed. The final rebased-head workflow above
passed without a retry.
- Whitespace and added-line secret/PII scans passed. Full workspace
checks ran on GitHub. No live vendor probe or deployment was performed.

## Risks

- Any driver that used the earlier Codex TypeScript option must use
`codexSourceRecoveryVersion`. The new plugin description rejects the
generic spelling. The Launcher’s existing Codex-specific HTTP header can
map to this property when the plugin adopts the new SDK. The change
requires no journal migration or ROM change.

- This is an inactive admission foundation. Executor orchestration is
separate in #19157. Native restore integrity and provider
stopped-source/account validation must be present before executor
activation. The native prerequisite uses ordinary recovery followed by
attachment. The composed executor proofs are in #19157.
- The source claim is durable. A later controller must recover the same
consumer or keep the hold. It cannot select another source after an
ambiguous launch.
- Admission adds bounded database checks around protected startup calls.
Busy issue locks fail closed; other lock waits have a one-second bound.
- No migration, snapshot format, proactive receipt, recurring worker, or
deployment is included. Full workspace checks and platform coverage run
in CI. These tests do not prove vendor history durability or a hosted
rollout.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol (`gpt-6.1-sol`), high reasoning, through Codex with
repository tools and code execution. The runtime does not expose a
context-window size.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 22281d4b3a feat(task-chat): approve harness-proposed plans (Codex plan mode, Claude ExitPlanMode) (#19291)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents run through the native runner. Codex and Claude Code each
have their own plan mode, and each produces a proposed-plan document.
> - Paperclip already has a planning work mode, an issue `plan`
document, and a `request_confirmation` approval gate for plans.
> - These parts were not connected. The Codex proposed-plan item was
transcript text only. The server path never put Codex into plan mode.
Claude was never put into plan mode, and its ExitPlanMode plan was
dropped. A planning run could close its task as done with no approval.
> - This pull request turns a harness's own proposed plan into the
issue's Plan document and the existing approval gate, for Codex and
Claude.
> - The benefit is that users approve or send back the agent's real plan
from the task chat. Approve resumes the agent. Request changes sends the
reason back to the agent.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19252

**Subsystem affected**
Native runner provider events (Codex and ACPX Claude), the runner Codex
provider (Rust), server native plan synchronization, and the task chat
UI.

**Problem or motivation**
Codex and Claude both produce a proposed-plan document in their native
plan mode. Paperclip did not use it. In live tests on the server path, a
Codex planning run was not in Codex plan mode, saved its own
`implementation-plan` document, and marked the task done without
approval. Claude planning runs were not in Claude plan mode, and the
ExitPlanMode plan text never reached Paperclip.

**Proposed solution**
Add a canonical `plan.proposed` event for a harness's proposed plan. Put
Codex and Claude into their native plan mode for planning runs. Save a
completed proposal as the issue `plan` document with the existing
`request_confirmation` gate. Agents can also propose a plan on a
standard task; the work mode stays standard.

**Alternatives considered**
Reuse `plan.updated`. Its schema is the within-turn checklist and is not
the durable Plan document, so a separate event keeps the two clear.
Stronger prompt text without native plan mode. Live tests showed that
the model kept its own document workflow.

**Roadmap alignment**
This reuses the issue plan document, planning work mode and approval
gate that already exist. It adds one canonical provider event.

## What Changed

- `packages/paperclip-runner/protocol/schemas/*`: add the
`plan.proposed` event (`paperclip.plan.proposed.v1`: `proposalId`,
`status`, `markdown` up to 60k characters, `source`). Regenerate the
schema bundle, validators and manifest.
- `packages/paperclip-runner/src/provider-events.ts`: map the Codex
`plan` item and a `<proposed_plan>` block in a completed Codex message
to `plan.proposed`. Add `claudePlanProposalEvent`.
-
`packages/paperclip-runner/runner/crates/runner-core/src/codex_provider.rs`:
send Codex's native `collaborationMode: plan` on `turn/start` for a
read-only (planning) Codex run. Before this change the server path never
sent it.
- `runner-core/src/acpx_event_payload.rs`: admit `plan.proposed` as ACPX
rich display activity.
- `drivers/acpx/codex-runtime-adapter.ts`: set Claude Code to native
plan mode for a read-only run. Capture Claude's ExitPlanMode plan from
its permission request, record it, and decline the native "Ready to
code?" prompt.
- `drivers/acpx/codex-acpx-driver.ts`, `cli/acpx-runtime-sidecar.ts`:
emit the captured proposal as a rich event. Complete that turn instead
of reporting it as cancelled.
- `backends/codex-native-backend.ts`: per-harness plan-mode
instructions, and a short opt-in hint for Claude on standard tasks.
- `server/src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.ts`:
synchronize a completed `plan.proposed` into the `plan` document and a
`request_confirmation` in planning and standard mode. Do not change the
issue status during the run (that revoked the run's lease). The run
finalizer turns the pending confirmation into the review wait.
- `server/src/services/heartbeat-run-summary.ts`: keep a
`<proposed_plan>` block out of the posted reply.
- UI: new `plan_proposal` provider family. The task chat shows a live
"Writing plan" card while a proposal streams and a one-line record when
it completes. Resolved plan reviews keep a receipt ("Approved Plan v1",
"Requested changes to Plan v1: reason"). Plan previews skip section
headings.
- Storybook: `Tasks and conversations/.../Task chat/Proposed plan
approval` shows the journey.
- `doc/SPEC-implementation.md`: describe harness-proposed plan approval.

## Verification

- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --lib` (new:
`read_only_codex_turns_use_native_plan_collaboration_mode`)

- Live test on a local worktree instance with real harnesses:
- Codex (`gpt-5.6-sol`), planning task: Codex asked one question, then
produced a native plan item. The task showed Plan v1 with Approve plan /
Request changes and moved to in review. Approve changed the work mode to
standard. Codex then implemented the plan and its tests passed.
- Codex, Request changes with a reason: Codex woke in planning mode and
produced Plan v2 that includes the change.
- Claude (`claude-opus-5-5`), planning task: Claude was in plan mode.
ExitPlanMode became Plan v1 and the turn completed. Approve resumed
Claude in standard mode, and Claude implemented the plan.
- Claude, standard task that asks for a plan first: Claude stopped
before code changes and asked for plan approval. The work mode stayed
standard.
- Storybook: open `Proposed plan approval` and check each stage.

## Risks

- Codex planning runs now really use Codex plan mode on the server path.
Codex can ask a clarifying question before it proposes. This matches
Codex plan mode.
- Claude planning runs now use Claude plan mode. A declined ExitPlanMode
ends the Claude turn; the runner reports it as completed. Claude's tool
row for that request records a rejection from Claude's side.
- Codex does not stream the proposed plan on the server path yet, so the
live card shows a placeholder until the plan completes.
- A `<proposed_plan>` block in any completed Codex message on a standard
task now asks for approval. This is the documented opt-in path.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 2575b941d0 feat(task-chat): show hook and auto-review decisions as governance rows (#19266)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents run on harnesses such as Codex and Claude, and the task chat
shows what each run did
> - Harnesses make automatic decisions: hooks block or allow tool calls,
and Codex auto-review approves or denies actions
> - Today Paperclip drops these decisions or shows them as generic rows.
Codex `safety.review.*` always says `decision: "unknown"`, the native
Rust runner drops `hook/*` and `item/autoApprovalReview/*`, and
claude-agent-acp drops Claude hook messages
> - An operator cannot see why an agent changed course or which action
ran without a person's approval. This conflicts with Paperclip's
approval-gate model
> - This pull request records each hook and review decision with its
reason and shows it as a small governance row in the task chat
> - The benefit is that automatic decisions become auditable, and a
blocked action explains itself without opening run logs

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19252 (precedent: canonical `plan.updated` events rendered as a
task-chat card).
Builds on #19259 (ACP `_meta` passthrough from ACPX), now merged.

**Subsystem affected**
Runner provider events (Rust native Codex normalizer, TS drivers, ACPX
sidecar), the claude-agent-acp patch, the PRP provider-event schema, and
the task chat activity UI.

**Problem or motivation**
Hook and auto-review outcomes reach Paperclip but are lost or flattened.
Codex reviews always record an unknown decision. Native Codex runs drop
hook and review notifications in the Rust normalizer. Claude hook
messages never leave the adapter. Codex reuses one `run.id` for every
call of a hook, and the id contains a host path.

**Proposed solution**
Map the real outcome, decision, action, risk and reason into additive
optional fields on `paperclip.hook.v1` and `paperclip.safety.review.v1`.
Forward Claude SDK hook messages. Render small grey rows: a stopped
action is tinted and shows its reason, an approved review folds into the
command it approved as an "auto-approved" mark, and routine hook passes
stay out of activity summaries.

**Alternatives considered**
Separate rows for every approval. This duplicated each approved command,
so approvals fold into the command row instead.

## What Changed

- Runner (Rust): new `governance_events.rs`.
`normalize_codex_notification` now maps `hook/started|completed` and
`item/autoApprovalReview/started|completed`. Each hook call gets its own
id (a digest of the run id and start time), so no host path is stored.
- Runner (TS): new `governance-events.ts` with the same mapping for the
TS Codex driver, and the Claude hook mapping. The ACPX sidecar publishes
Claude hook updates as schema-validated `hook.*` rich events.
- claude-agent-acp patch: turns on `includeHookEvents` and forwards
`hook_started` / `hook_response` on
`session_info_update._meta.claudeCode.hook`, with bounded output.
- Protocol: additive optional fields. Hook records get `outcome`,
`message`, `source` and `toolName`, and the `blocked` and `stopped`
statuses. Review records get `actionKind`, `action`, `riskLevel`,
`userConsent` (the reviewer's user-authorization level; keys that end in
"authorization" are redacted as secrets), `rationale` and `decidedBy`,
and the `timed_out` and `aborted` decisions. Regenerated the manifest
and validators.
- Fixed: the hook `blocking` flag read `executionMode === "blocking"`,
but Codex sends `sync` / `async`.
- UI: `native-run-events` keeps the full hook and review payloads.
`governance-presentation.ts` writes the row labels.
`fold-auto-reviews.ts` attaches an approved review to its command row.
The rows show the tint, the reason line and the "auto-approved" mark.
Activity summaries lead with a block or denial.
- Storybook: "Task chat / Governance rows" shows every outcome, a Codex
run, a Claude run and the live line.
- Docs: added a governance activity section to
`packages/paperclip-runner/docs/protocol-compatibility.md`.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec vitest run
src/governance-events.test.ts src/provider-events.test.ts
src/drivers/codex src/drivers/acpx src/cli`. 2305 tests pass. This
includes a replay of real Codex 0.160 notifications from a session with
hooks and auto-review
(`test-fixtures/governance/codex-0.160-hooks-auto-review.json`,
sanitized).
- `cargo test --release -p paperclip-runner-core`. The full suite
passes, and `governance_events::tests` replays the same fixture.
- `cd ui && npx vitest run`. 11,047 tests pass.
- `node scripts/typecheck-low-memory.mjs`, `pnpm check:token-gates`, and
the runner contract checks (`check:protocol-manifest`,
`check:protocol-types`, `check:capability-contract`,
`check:protocol-coverage`, replay goldens, contract fingerprints) pass.
- Live test on a local isolated instance. A Codex agent and a Claude
agent each used a preconfigured home with a PreToolUse hook that blocks
edits to `0001_init.sql`, plus UserPromptSubmit and PostToolUse hooks.
Both runs showed "PreToolUse hook blocked a tool call" (Codex) or
"PreToolUse hook blocked Bash" (Claude), with the hook's message. They
also showed "UserPromptSubmit hook added context", and the group summary
started with the block.
- Auto-review cannot run in Paperclip today, because the native Codex
runner only allows `approvalPolicy: never`. The review mapping and the
approval fold are proven against real Codex 0.160 app-server output
(fixture above) and in Storybook.

## Risks

- Low risk to execution. These records are display-only and carry no
authority. All new schema fields are optional, so older records stay
valid and older UIs ignore the new fields.
- The `auto-approved` fold depends on `targetItemId` matching the
command's execution id. Real Codex 0.160 data confirms that it matches.
When there is no match, the review stays as its own row.
- In Paperclip's isolated homes, hooks do not run, because the runner
never copies hooks into an isolated home. Rows appear only for agents
with a preconfigured home, or with future managed hooks.
- The claude-agent-acp patch changes. The ACPX profile check still
passes, because the patch is Paperclip's ACPX layer and not the upstream
release.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) in Claude Code, with tool use
(shell, browser and file editing) and extended reasoning.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 dd889e6a0b feat: show the assignee's provider usage limit in task properties (#19270)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents run on the native Runner through the Codex app-server and the
Claude ACP harness
> - Both harnesses report the provider account's rate-limit windows:
Codex sends `account/rateLimits/updated`, and Claude sends its SDK
`rate_limit_event` as `usage_update._meta["_claude/rateLimit"]`
> - Paperclip dropped both signals, so an operator could not see that an
agent was near or past its provider limit
> - This pull request normalizes both signals into one account-scoped
snapshot, keeps the latest snapshot per agent, and shows it as one
"Usage limit" line in the task properties pane
> - The benefit is that an operator sees "5h 78% · resets 15:40" (amber
above 80%, "Limited until …" when the provider refuses work, "using
credits" when a used-up window falls back to credits) next to the
assignee, and can click it for every window

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19246
Refs #19259

**Is your feature request related to a problem?**
Codex and Claude report provider rate-limit windows during a run.
Paperclip dropped them: the Codex notification fell through the Rust
normalizer with no branch, and ACPX dropped Claude's `_meta`. Operators
could not see how close an agent was to its provider limit.

**Describe the solution you'd like**
Store the latest reported windows per agent and show one compact line in
the task properties pane, with a popover that lists every window.

**Describe alternatives you've considered**
A full gauge in the agent list and the run header. A design review chose
one property line with a details popover instead.

## What Changed

- Runner (Rust, the runnerd path): new `provider_rate_limits.rs`. Codex
`account/rateLimits/updated` becomes a `provider.notice.recorded` event
(category `provider.rate_limits`, scope `account`). `CodexProviderState`
merges sparse updates and emits a notice only when the windows change.
ACPX `usage_update` with a sanitized `rateLimit` field also emits the
notice.
- Runner (sidecar): `acpx-runtime-sidecar.ts` forwards only `status`,
`rateLimitType`, `utilization` and `resetsAt` from
`_meta["_claude/rateLimit"]`. This needs the ACPX `_meta` passthrough
from #19259. Until that merges, Claude emits nothing.
- Runner (TypeScript in-process drivers): the same mapping in
`codex-session-notifications.ts` and `codex-acpx-driver.ts` through
`drivers/provider-rate-limits.ts`.
- Shared: `provider-rate-limits.ts` holds the snapshot type, the parser,
the merge, and `summarizeProviderRateLimits` (fullest current window,
expiry by reset time, limited versus using credits).
- Server: `agent-provider-rate-limits.ts` merges each notice into
`agent_runtime_state.state_json.providerRateLimits`, scoped by company
and agent. A session reset keeps the snapshot. No migration.
- UI: `AgentRateLimitPropertyValue` adds a "Usage limit" row under the
assignee in `IssueProperties`. Transcripts treat the notice as run-log
only. A run status event refreshes the assignee's runtime state.
- Storybook: `Tasks and conversations/Task creation and lifecycle/Usage
limit property`.
- Docs: `doc/run-log-events.md` describes the notice and its storage.

## Verification

- `cd packages/paperclip-runner/runner && cargo test -p
paperclip-runner-core --lib rate_limit` and `--test
acpx_provider_events`: sparse Codex merge, dedupe, reached window,
checkpoint round trip, Claude utilization and rejection, notice shape.
- `cd packages/paperclip-runner && npx vitest run
src/drivers/provider-rate-limits.test.ts src/drivers/codex`
- `cd packages/shared && npx vitest run
src/provider-rate-limits.test.ts`: summary, expiry, limited, using
credits, parse and merge.
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/agent-provider-rate-limits.test.ts`: create and merge,
out-of-order snapshot, company isolation, unrelated notices, session
reset keeps the snapshot.
- `cd ui && npx vitest run src/components/transcript
src/components/issue-properties src/context/LiveUpdatesProvider`
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm check:token-gates` pass.
- Live test on a local worktree instance: a native Codex agent on a
ChatGPT subscription login ran a real task. The runner recorded one
`provider.rate_limits` notice. The server stored it. The task properties
pane showed "7d 100% · using credits" (this account's weekly window was
used up and had credits, and the run succeeded). The transcript showed
no extra row.
- Not verified live: Claude. The local Claude CLI was not signed in, and
the Claude path also needs #19259. The Rust and sidecar paths have
tests.
- Not run locally: the full `pnpm test:run` and `pnpm build`. CI runs
them.

## Risks

- Low risk. The snapshot is display data. It does not hold or start
work. The existing provider-limit wait (#19246) still reads typed run
failures.
- Codex can send a rate-limit update often. The runner emits a notice
only when the windows change, so run-log growth stays small.
- With API-key auth, the harnesses report no windows, so no row appears.
This is the intended result.
- `CodexProviderState` gains two optional serde fields with defaults, so
older checkpoints still load.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 86a9d3ec6c feat(task-chat): tool rows that say what ran and how it went (#19265)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The task chat shows each tool call an agent makes as a short
activity row.
> - Real Claude runs showed Bash rows named "Terminal" with no command
and Write rows stuck at "Preparing file…". No row showed an exit code or
a duration, and a tool refused by policy looked like any other failure.
> - Codex already reported exit codes, durations and parsed command
actions, but the UI dropped them, and every Codex read looked like a
shell command.
> - This pull request gives both harnesses one row grammar: a verb icon,
the real subject, an exit chip and a duration.
> - The benefit is that a reviewer can see what ran and how it went
without opening each row.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19259 (this branch includes its `_meta` passthrough commit; merge
#19259 first or together).

**Problem or motivation**
Claude tool rows hide what ran: the runner keeps the first ACP title
("Terminal", "Preparing file…") and drops the refined one. `exitCode`
and `durationMs` are null on every Claude tool event. The UI ignores
`tool.execution.progressed`, `exitCode` and `durationMs` for every
harness.

**Proposed solution**
Read real tool facts in the runner (Claude `_meta.claudeCode`, raw input
and result text; Codex `commandActions`), carry them in the canonical
tool event, and render one row grammar in the task chat.

**Alternatives considered**
Enable Claude's `terminal_output` client capability to get
`terminal_exit`. That changes how command output arrives, and Claude's
own exit code is derived from the error flag anyway, so this PR reads
the error flag and the "Exit code N" text instead.

## What Changed

- **Runner (TS):** `createAcpxToolEventNormalizer` keeps the latest
concrete title instead of the first placeholder. It merges tool facts
across the lifecycle and measures the duration. New
`acpxToolDetailFromRuntimeEvent` reads the native tool name, the command
or pattern, the description, the exit code and a "Permission denied"
reason. Exit 0 is inferred only for Claude `Bash`, where a non-zero exit
is always a failed result.
- **ACPX sidecar:** reads the facts before `rawInput` is dropped and
sends a bounded `toolDetail`. A file path argument becomes an attested
workspace-relative location.
- **runner-core (Rust):** validates `toolDetail`.
`normalize_acpx_tool_call` uses the native name, exit code, duration,
subject, description and blocked reason. Codex `commandExecution` gets
its operation, a single-file target and a subject from `commandActions`.
The shell wrapper is removed, and a single search reads as `"TODO" in
src`.
- **Protocol:** `toolExecution` gains the optional fields `subject`,
`description` and `blockedReason`. Generated validators and the manifest
are regenerated.
- **UI:**
- `nativeRunEventsToTranscript` handles `tool.execution.progressed` and
passes a canonical `detail` on `tool_call` entries.
- The task-chat row shows `$ command`, a path or a pattern, a red `exit
N` chip (exit 0 only for commands) and a duration (0 is hidden).
  - Three or more consecutive reads fold into "Read N files a, b, c +1".
  - A refused tool shows "Blocked" with its reason.
- **Storybook:** `Tasks/Tool rows` compares the data recorded today with
the new runner data for Claude and Codex.

## Verification

- `cd packages/paperclip-runner && npx vitest run
src/provider-events.test.ts src/cli src/drivers/acpx` (1,957 pass)
- `cd packages/paperclip-runner/runner && cargo test -p
paperclip-runner-core --lib provider_events`
- `cd ui && npx vitest run src/components/transcript
src/components/task-chat` (973 pass)
- `pnpm check:token-gates`, `pnpm --filter paperclip-runner build`
(includes the protocol coverage and replay-golden checks)
- Live runs on a local instance with real harnesses:
- Codex (gpt-5.6-sol): the rows read `$ node --test` with `exit 1` and
then `exit 0`, plus real durations. A three-file `sed` shows as one
command and does not claim a single file.
- Claude (claude-sonnet-5-5 through ACPX): the rows show `Bash` and
`Edit` instead of "Terminal" and "Preparing file…". Commands show their
real text, `exit 0` and durations, and edits show `Edited temp.js`.
- Not seen live: a real Claude `Write`, a folded read run and a Claude
policy denial. Unit and Rust tests cover them.

## Risks

- The tool-execution schema gains only optional fields, so older events
stay valid. Older runs keep rendering with what they recorded.
- Commands now cross the sidecar boundary as `subject` (bounded to 4,000
characters). Codex already recorded commands as the tool name, and
server redaction still applies.
- The tool lifecycle now keeps the latest concrete title. A provider
that retitles a call to something less useful would show the newer
title.

## Model Used

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

Nicky LeachandPaperclip a6f786479e Runner: verify provider eligibility before parking (#19133)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip coordinates AI agents and their execution.
> - Hosted Runners can retain a provider process between turns.
> - The host must prove that process is idle before allowing its VM to
sleep.
> - A completed turn alone does not rule out an active goal or trailing
provider work.
> - This PR adds a conservative park-readiness hook for the existing
Codex process.
> - The later host-control consumer can use this proof with its identity
and sequence fences.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Current behavior**
There is no provider eligibility hook for host parking. The earlier
implementation in #19060 also missed an active goal that arrived during
its tail drain.

**Proposed behavior**
Default every executor to ineligible. Permit the surviving native Codex
process only when its completed-turn authority still matches and it has
no live or unsettled work.

**Reason and benefit**
Keep active goals and unresolved provider obligations awake. Review the
provider proof separately from socket handling and the native
park/reclaim loop.

## What Changed

- Add `host_park_ready` with a default false result.
- Refresh the configured credential observer before checking pending
delivery. Refuse parking during credential delivery, without selecting
or restoring a provider.
- Verify the current Codex process and completed-turn identity; reject
startup, active turns/goals/tools, and unsettled event queues.
- Require completion actually observed by that process. Accepted-finish
reconciliation still preserves ordinary result authority without
qualifying a restored process to park.
- Refuse known helper lineage, whose diagnostics do not prove that
helper work has finished.
- Drain bounded trailing output through the existing accounting path.
Retain goal updates and clears in durable state and normal event
delivery, then recheck live goal state.
- Add process tests for normal eligibility and the late-goal race.
Assert that a restored process is ineligible until it completes an
authoritative turn in its new generation.

This PR is based on master, which contains the merged Codex (#19132) and
ACPX (#19153) recovery foundations. The private socket codec in #19129
is merged; #19140 consumes this proof in the shared native loop. This PR
does not advertise parking support. A separate ACPX readiness change
must prove its live sidecar/session has no active or unsettled work.
Both Codex App Server and qualified ACPX are required in the remaining
park/reclaim, Core restart, eviction, and live sleep/wake acceptance
phases.

## Verification

- `cargo test --offline --locked --manifest-path
packages/paperclip-runner/runner/Cargo.toml -p paperclip-runner-core
--test codex_provider hosted_park` — 5 passed.
- `ordinary_recovery_restores_a_completed_idle_session` passes and
asserts that the genuinely restored provider cannot park before it
completes an authoritative turn in its new generation. The fixture
proves two provider starts and only one admitted turn.
- The initial live-goal recheck mutation failed as expected. Review then
identified that goal changes also needed durable retention. The new
activation and clear cases verify saved goal state, retained events, and
eligibility after delivery.
- Existing goal, active-goal attachment, warm-tail, and late-accounting
process regressions passed after sharing the goal event path.
- The initial late-goal fixture timed out because it omitted
`--durable-turn-ids`, which enables its existing first-turn gate. Added
that fixture switch; both park tests then passed.
- The credential-observation regression fails before the fix and passes
afterward. Three focused credential cases prove durable replay and
acknowledgement, fresh ACPX startup, and readiness without provider
selection. The three provider parking checks also pass after the fix.
- Full regression testing is left to GitHub CI.
- Changed lines scanned for secrets, personal data, and private
deployment references before push.

Current head `28d41b083f58ee93db4305b1217719796bf3171d` adds one scoped
review-fix commit to readiness
`e8ba82374e0f72c82ac3195d4b1b3798c9072bab`, based on master
`3d0d178ff7051aa44e07cd873fd4281357e0d815` without duplicating either
recovery foundation. The PR remains eight parking-specific files. Review
identified quiet helper work and reconstructed accepted-finish authority
that could incorrectly qualify. The provider now records its actually
observed terminal authority separately in memory, and parking refuses
known helper lineage in both the saved state and the live inventory
after draining. No durable field, lifecycle, public API, or ordinary
recovery policy changed. Both process regressions fail when the parking
guards are removed and pass when restored. Seventeen focused checks
pass, including ordinary recovery, helper requests, receipt replay,
credentials, and ACPX ineligibility. Rustfmt, diff and added-line scans
passed.

On this current head, the first server shard 11/12 [job

failed the unchanged decision-model concurrency test: after releasing
the database lock, its `waitFor` observed one provider call instead of
two. The identical file passed all 37 tests on the prior reviewed head.
One targeted unchanged-head retry [job
127466020677](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42087773928/job/127466020677)
passed all 1,779 tests, including those 37 decision-model cases; 13
tests were skipped. No code, test timeout, or CI configuration changed
between attempts. The original failure's cause remains unestablished.

On prior reviewed head `e8ba82374e0f72c82ac3195d4b1b3798c9072bab`, the

passed all **313 tests in 72 files**, including SIGTERM and SIGINT. No
source or timeout changed between attempts.

On the superseded `ca088abd552b` head, one Cloud sign-in recovery case
returned to the expected task URL but missed its heading within the
five-second assertion window; the other 40 cases passed. One targeted
unchanged-head retry (job 127136265280) passed all **41 cases**. No test
timeout or application code changed between attempts, and the first
failure's cause remains unestablished.

The superseded c7 parent failed eight retained-cleanup settlement cases
because prepared restoration started a provider during a drain-only
epoch. The corrected parent preserves ordinary prepared behavior; the
new completed-source path excludes prepared providers. The parent
reports all 19 settlement rows passing. This PR adds no prepared-session
proof or restoration policy.

## Risks

Known helpers remain conservatively ineligible even after their progress
diagnostics: this slice has no authoritative helper-completion ledger.
The eligibility check drains the existing bounded provider tail and can
persist late accounting. That accounting must settle before parking
succeeds. This hook alone does not prove VM suspension or vendor goal
behavior across a process restart. Live sleep/wake qualification remains
a later rollout check.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol (`gpt-6.1-sol`), High reasoning, through Codex with
tool use and code execution.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 03eb49053f test(runner): bound Codex provider event waits by a hang ceiling, not 5s (#19306)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The Rust runner drives provider processes such as Codex, and CI
tests it on Linux, macOS and Windows
> - The "Runner Rust (Windows x64)" job fails at random on pull requests
that do not touch the runner
> - The failures come from Codex provider integration tests that wait
for fake-provider events under a fixed five-second deadline
> - On a loaded Windows runner, process spawn, antivirus scans and
fsyncs of durable state make these exchanges take longer than five
seconds, so the wait stops before the event arrives
> - This pull request keeps each wait on its condition and changes the
deadline to a shared hang ceiling
> - The benefit is that unrelated pull requests do not fail on this job,
and a real hang still fails the test

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
The "Runner Rust (Windows x64)" job failed on pull requests that do not
change the runner. Examples:
- Run 42073331106 (PR #19273) and run 42058757139:
`rejected_declared_completion_stays_failed_when_the_provider_completes`
panicked with `called Option::unwrap() on a None value`. The loop ended
at its 5 s deadline before `session.failed` and `run.terminal` arrived.
- Run 41892735530 (master): the same test failed in the same way.
- Runs 41718881566 and 41670873220:
`durable_descendant_lineage_survives_capacity_and_provider_restoration`
failed with "capacity exhaustion must become a specific durable recovery
reason". Its third phase waited only 5 s. An earlier phase of this test
already had a 30 s deadline with a comment about this contention.

**What did you expect?**
The tests wait until the fake provider produces the event. They fail
only when the provider hangs.

**Steps to reproduce**
Run `cargo test --release --workspace` for the runner on a contended
Windows x64 runner. The suite takes about 380 s there, and some tests
run for more than 60 s. The failures are intermittent.

## What Changed

- `tests/codex_provider.rs`: add `EVENT_WAIT_TIMEOUT` (120 s) and
`event_deadline()`. Replace all 50 fixed 5 s and 30 s wait deadlines
with `event_deadline()`. Each wait already stops when its condition
holds, so passing tests do not get slower.
-
`rejected_declared_completion_stays_failed_when_the_provider_completes`:
assert that the run reached `run.terminal`, and print the observed event
types if it did not. Replace the bare `unwrap()` on `session.failed`
with a message that names the scenario.
- `src/bin/fake-codex-app-server.rs`: the two background gate threads
used 5 s and 10 s bounds. A test releases a gate only after its own
waits succeed, so these bounds had the same problem. They now use one
`TEST_GATE_TIMEOUT` of 120 s.
- No production code changes. The two remaining `from_secs(5)` values
are the unused `max_runtime` in the test config and a Unix-only latency
assertion. Both stay the same.

## Verification

- `cargo test --release -p paperclip-runner-core --test codex_provider
--locked`: 109 passed, 0 failed, 2 ignored.
- I ran the two flaky tests 48 times, with 6 copies in parallel per
round to load the machine. All 48 runs passed.
- `cargo fmt --all --check`: clean.
- `cargo clippy -p paperclip-runner-core --test codex_provider --bin
fake-codex-app-server`: no new warnings in the changed lines. The lib
target already has clippy findings from the local toolchain (Rust 1.97).
They are not in the changed files, and CI does not run clippy.
- I did not reproduce the original failure on macOS. The slow condition
occurs only on the loaded Windows runner. The Windows CI job on this
pull request is the main check.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change affects only tests and the test fixture binary.
- If a test hangs for real, it now fails after 120 s and not after 5 s.
This makes a broken run slower, but the failure message stays the same.

## Model Used

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 1eff07f29e feat(task-chat): show Claude subagents as a collapsible tree in the runner turn (#19264)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The task chat shows what an agent does in a run. The Paperclip
Runner sends this activity as canonical provider events.
> - Claude runs subagents through its Agent (Task) tool. A run that
delegates showed a confusing burst of unrelated tool calls.
> - The subagent data was already sent, but it was lost: ACPX dropped
`_meta`, the hardened sidecar dropped `rawInput`, and async subagents
report "launched" as the tool result.
> - This pull request maps each Agent call to a canonical `delegation`
event, links each child tool to its subagent, and shows subagents as a
collapsible card or tree.
> - The benefit is that operators can see what each subagent was asked,
what it is doing now, which tools it used, and what it returned.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19252 (the docked plan card used the same canonical-event pattern)
Refs #19259 (ACPX `_meta` passthrough, merged). This PR builds on it.

**What happened?**
When a Claude agent used its Agent tool, the task chat showed one
generic "Task" row and then the subagents' tool calls as flat rows in
the parent turn. The subagent type, prompt, progress and result were not
visible.

**Expected behavior**
Each subagent shows as its own card with its type, description, prompt,
live progress summary, nested tool rows and result. Subagents that start
together show as one tree with status dots.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Assign a Claude (Paperclip Runner, ACPX) agent a task that asks it to
launch three Explore subagents in parallel.
2. Open the task while the run is live.
3. Before this change, the subagents' tool calls appear flat in the
parent turn.

## What Changed

- **claude-agent-acp patch:** Under the isolated runner context, the
patch turns on the SDK option `agentProgressSummaries`. It forwards each
subagent's `task_progress` summary and its terminal state and summary
onto the spawning tool call as `_meta.claudeCode.subagentProgress` and
`subagentState`. Native subagent sessions stay off, because ACPX cannot
follow child ACP sessions.
- **Runner:** The new file `claude-subagent-lineage.ts` tracks each
Agent/Task call across ACP update deltas. It maps the call to
`delegation.started|updated|completed` events and stamps child tools
with `parentItemId`. An async subagent stays running after its "Async
agent launched" result until its own state settles.
- **Sidecar path:** `acpx-runtime-sidecar.ts` reads the lineage before
it drops `_meta` and `rawInput`. Delegations go out as schema-checked
rich events. Child tools carry `parentToolCallId`, which Rust
(`acpx_event_payload.rs`, `provider_events.rs`) maps to `parentItemId`.
- **Contracts:** The provider-event schema adds optional `prompt` and
`result` to delegation children and optional `parentItemId` to tool
executions. The protocol modules are regenerated. ACPX Claude now
advertises the `delegation` event family.
- **UI:** `native-run-events.ts` keeps delegation payloads and the tool
parent link. `buildTurnTimelineRows` groups adjacent delegations into a
new `subagent_group` row, nests child tool rows (plain and
provider-activity shapes), and hides the spawning call's own tool row.
The new `TaskChatSubagentCard.tsx` renders the card and tree. A new size
token caps the result height.
- **Storybook:** The new story `Tasks and conversations/…/Task
chat/Subagents` has 7 states.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec vitest run src/cli
src/drivers/acpx src/provider-events.test.ts
src/claude-subagent-lineage.test.ts src/protocol` (2069 passed)
- `cargo test --release --locked -p paperclip-runner-core --lib` in
`packages/paperclip-runner/runner` (488 passed, including the new
parent-link test)
- `node --test test/protocol-contract.test.mjs
test/acpx-sidecar-contract.test.mjs
test/acpx-codex-package-contract.test.mjs
test/acpx-rich-extensions-package-contract.test.mjs` (48 passed)
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/components/task-chat src/components/transcript`, including the new
`subagent-timeline.test.ts`
- `check:protocol-types`, `check:protocol-manifest`,
`check:acpx-profiles` and `pnpm check:token-gates` pass.
- **Live test:** A local test-drive instance ran a Claude Opus 5.5 agent
on the Paperclip Runner (hardened sidecar path). The agent ran real
tasks that launched three parallel Explore subagents. The live view
showed "Running 3 subagents · 2 done" with a progress summary. The
settled view showed "Ran 3 subagents", each with its prompt, nested
tools and its own result text.

## Risks

- `agentProgressSummaries` makes Claude Code generate a short progress
summary for each running subagent about every 30 seconds. This adds a
small model cost to runs that delegate.
- The adapter patch reads `task_notification` and terminal
`task_updated` messages. A future claude-agent-acp version can change
these. The patch hunks then fail to apply, and the dependency bump must
update them.
- If a delegation event is lost, child tools stay at the top level as
before. Nothing is hidden without a matching delegation.
- Codex is not changed. Codex subagents need `multi_agent`, which
Paperclip keeps off on purpose. Changing that is a separate policy
decision.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) in Claude Code, with tool use
(shell, file edits, browser automation). It did the investigation,
implementation, tests and live test.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 d361f92071 feat(task-chat): show harness status notices as chips, out of the answer (#19267)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents run through the native runner. The runner turns harness
events from Codex and Claude into canonical provider events, and the
task chat shows them.
> - Harnesses report their own lifecycle: context compaction, retries,
model fallback, and warnings. Paperclip lost or mangled these reports.
> - Claude (claude-agent-acp 0.73) sends compaction, model-fallback and
warning banners as ordinary message text, so "Compacting..." ended up
inside the agent's answer and the issue comment.
> - Codex sends `error` with the text in `error.message` and a
`willRetry` flag. Paperclip read `params.message`, so every Codex error
said "Provider notice", and every retry looked fatal.
> - This pull request keeps these reports out of the answer and shows
them as small status chips between the turn's activity.
> - The benefit is that users can see why an agent paused, retried or
forgot earlier context, and the answer text stays clean.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**
Native runner provider-event mapping (TypeScript driver, ACPX sidecar
and Rust runner-core) and the task chat transcript.

**Problem or motivation**
Claude status banners are mixed into assistant answer text. Codex error
notices lose their message and their retry state. The task chat hid all
of these notices, and settled turns stripped every provider notice.

**Proposed solution**
Classify Claude banners as provider notices at the ACPX boundary. Map
Codex `TurnError` fields and `willRetry` correctly. Render status
notices as inline chips. A retry chip fades after later provider work. A
final error shows the real provider message.

**Alternatives considered**
Patch claude-agent-acp to tag banners in `_meta`. ACPX keeps only
`origin`, `kind` and `source` from `_meta`, and other sessions own the
ACPX `_meta` passthrough work. Banner chunks already have no
`messageId`, and model output always has one, so the classification
needs no adapter patch.

**Roadmap alignment**
This makes existing harness signals visible. It adds no new protocol
schema. It uses the existing `paperclip.provider.notice.v1` `category`
and `details` fields.

## What Changed

- Codex `error` notifications (TypeScript `provider-events.ts` and Rust
`runner-core/src/provider_events.rs`): read `error.message`, map
`willRetry: true` to a recoverable `provider_retry` notice, keep
category `error` for a final error, and add the `CodexErrorInfo` kind,
HTTP status, and the "Reconnecting... n/m" attempt count as notice
details. Retries in one turn share one notice id.
- New `claude-status-banners.ts`: classifies the claude-agent-acp
compaction, model-fallback and SDK informational banners. A chunk must
have no `messageId` and match a known banner exactly.
- ACPX sidecar and the TypeScript ACPX driver emit these banners as
`provider_notice` events instead of answer text. Compaction start and
end share one notice key and carry a `Phase` detail.
- Rust runner-core accepts an optional `noticeKey` and bounded `details`
on ACPX `provider_notice` events.
- UI: new `TaskChatStatusNotice` chip and
`status-notice-presentation.ts`. Status notices become top-level
timeline rows, render as chips wherever protocol cards render, and stay
visible in settled (historical) turns. Generic warnings stay hidden as
before.
- New tokens `--tc-status-notice-warning-*` in `ui/src/index.css`.
- Storybook story `Tasks and conversations/.../Task chat/Status notices`
with eight states.
- `doc/run-log-events.md`: describes the status notice categories.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/components/task-chat src/components/transcript`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec vitest run
src/provider-events.test.ts
src/drivers/acpx/claude-status-banners.test.ts
src/drivers/acpx/codex-acpx-driver.test.ts
src/cli/acpx-runtime-sidecar.test.ts`
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --lib provider_events` and
`--test acpx_provider_events`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- Storybook: open
`product-task-chat-status-notices--all-states-gallery`.
- Live test-drive on an isolated worktree instance:
- Codex (gpt-5.6-sol, app-server 0.160): a local pass-through proxy in
front of the real OpenAI API cut the first two response streams. Codex
ran its own retries. The chat showed an amber "Reconnecting" chip live,
then "Recovered after retry" once work continued. With every stream cut,
Codex made five retries and then sent a final error with the real
message.
- Claude (claude-haiku-5-5 through claude-agent-acp 0.73): a long
reading task triggered Claude's own auto-compaction twice. The chat
showed "Compacting context…" live and "Context compacted" afterwards.
The final answer and the issue comment contained no compaction text.
- Not verified live: model fallback and Claude informational banners.
They need a model refusal or a blocking hook. Unit tests cover them.

## Risks

- Low to medium. A Claude model message that is exactly a banner text
and has no `messageId` would become a notice. Model output from
claude-agent-acp always carries a `messageId`.
- Older stored Codex `error` notices (category `error`, not recoverable)
now render as a red row instead of being hidden.
- Claude retries (`api_retry`) are still not visible. claude-agent-acp
reports them only to clients that negotiate session-failure records, and
ACPX drops `_meta`. This is a follow-up that depends on the ACPX `_meta`
passthrough work.
- On a failed Codex turn the thread collapses to a summary, so the red
row does not show there. The existing task banner already shows the real
provider message.
- Some local suites failed on this machine. They do not touch the
changed code: Cursor Cloud staging-custody tests, the ACPX Claude
dependency-graph pin test (a timeout), and the Rust `task_memory`
monitor tests. CI is the reference for these.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 cb0b7525e0 feat(task-chat): warn at the top of a run when an MCP server failed to start (#19289)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Each agent run shows its activity in the task chat. The Paperclip
runner turns harness events into that activity.
> - Codex reports `mcpServer/startupStatus/updated` when an MCP server
fails to start. The runner dropped this event at the notification
allowlist and in the Rust normalizer.
> - When an MCP server fails, the agent runs without its tools. The
agent then says "I could not reach the server", and the user cannot see
why.
> - This pull request maps a failed MCP start to a user-facing provider
notice and shows it as one warning line at the top of the run.
> - The benefit is that the cause of a "cannot reach my tools" answer is
visible next to that answer.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19252 (the plan card, which set the pattern for promoting a
dropped harness signal to a dedicated task-chat surface).

**Problem description**
Codex sends `mcpServer/startupStatus/updated` (`name`, `status`,
`error`, `failureReason`) during `thread/start`. The TypeScript
allowlist (`codex-thread-normalization.ts`) and the Rust normalizer
(`runner-core/src/provider_events.rs`) both dropped it. A run with a
broken MCP server showed no sign of the failure. The agent only said
that it could not reach the tools.

**Proposed solution**
Map `status: "failed"` to `provider.notice.recorded` with `category:
"mcp_server_startup_failed"`, `severity: "warning"`, `scope: "session"`
and `userActionable: true`. Show these notices as one run-health line
under the runner header: "github MCP server failed to start: No such
file or directory (os error 2)".

**Alternatives considered**
An inline notice row in the timeline. It scrolls away and sits among
tool rows. A run-level line next to the header is easier to connect to
the agent's answer.

## What Changed

- Runner (Rust, production Codex path): `normalize_codex_notification`
maps a failed `mcpServer/startupStatus/updated` to a
`provider.notice.recorded` notice. `starting`, `ready` and `cancelled`
stay out of the transcript. The new helper removes the Codex wrapper
text ("MCP client for \`x\` failed to start: MCP startup failed:") so
that the line shows the real reason. `reauthenticationRequired` becomes
"needs re-authentication".
- Runner (TypeScript): the same mapping in
`canonicalProviderEventsFromCodex`, and the method is added to
`isSupportedCodexNotificationMethod`.
- Server: the `view=conversation` run-event query keeps
`mcp_server_startup_failed` notices. A settled run can then still show
the warning. Other notices stay out of that view.
- UI: new `TaskChatRunHealthBanner`. `partitionRunHealthItems` takes MCP
failures out of the run's items, with one line per server where the
latest report wins. `TaskChatRunnerTurn` (live runs) and `TaskChatTurn`
(settled, historical and merged turns) show it under the header.
`coalesceSettledTurns` merges the failures when it merges turns.
- Storybook: `Tasks and conversations/…/Task chat/Run health` shows one
failure, several failures, a finished run and a healthy run, all through
the production runner turn.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec vitest run
src/provider-events.test.ts src/drivers/codex src/protocol`: 508 tests
pass.
- `cargo test --release -p paperclip-runner-core --lib --
provider_events`: 20 tests pass.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/components/task-chat src/components/transcript
src/components/TaskChatThread.test.tsx`: 1340 tests pass, including the
new `TaskChatRunHealthBanner.test.tsx` (persisted event to rendered
banner, deduplication, settled historical turn, merged turns).
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/task-cold-open.test.ts`: the conversation view keeps the
MCP notice and still excludes other notices.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` is clean. `node
scripts/typecheck-low-memory.mjs` passes.
- Live test on a local instance with Codex 0.160: a Codex agent with a
preconfigured Codex home whose `config.toml` has `[mcp_servers.github]
command = "github-mcp-server-not-installed"`. Codex reported the failure
during `thread/start`. The persisted event had the summary "github MCP
server failed to start: No such file or directory (os error 2)". The
banner showed while the run was live. It also showed on the settled turn
after "More run output", above the agent's answer that it could not
reach the GitHub MCP server.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change adds one notice category. It does not change how
existing notices map or render.
- A settled run whose transcript is deferred on a cold open (a
successful run with a posted agent comment) shows the warning only after
"More run output". This is the same as all other run activity under the
current compact history.
- Claude does not report MCP startup failures over ACP.
`claude-agent-acp` reads MCP status only for OAuth. This change is
therefore Codex-only.
- Provisional task titles from provider session names are not part of
this change. Codex app-server does not generate thread names (only its
TUI does). Claude generates its title after the turn ends, and ACPX
drops the title text.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 c6996799c4 feat(task-chat): show an inline diff for every file edit (#19269)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The task chat shows what an agent did during a run, including each
tool call
> - Codex and Claude both report the patch for every file edit, but
Paperclip dropped it. Claude's ACP `diff` content was never read. The
Codex `fileChange` item became a generic item with no patch. Codex
`turn/diff/updated` had no native-runner mapping
> - A reviewer could not see what an agent changed without opening the
workspace
> - This pull request carries a bounded patch on each edit call and
shows it in the edit row. Each turn that changed files ends with a
"Changed in this turn" card
> - The benefit is that a reviewer can check every change in the
conversation, with the same view for Codex and Claude

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19252 (precedent: canonical `plan.updated` events as a docked plan
card).

**Subsystem affected**
Paperclip runner (Rust and TypeScript canonical event mapping), PRP
provider-event schema, and the task-chat UI.

**Problem or motivation**
Edit rows say "Edited a file" with no content. Claude Edit/Write `diff`
content is lost after the ACPX sidecar. The Codex native runner drops
`fileChange.changes` and `turn/diff/updated`. The existing
workspace-changes card showed a raw text patch in a dialog, and only on
the in-process Codex path.

**Proposed solution**
Add an optional, bounded `fileChanges` list to
`paperclip.tool.execution.v1`. Fill it from Codex `fileChange` items and
Claude ACP `diff` content. Map Codex `turn/diff/updated` to
`workspace.change.updated` on the native runner. In the UI, show `+N −M`
on each edit row, open a compact colored diff, and end the turn with the
change set.

**Alternatives considered**
A runner-side git diff at turn end. It needs workspace access and extra
cost on every turn. The harness patches are already available. For
Claude, the UI builds the turn card from the edit rows instead of new
per-turn runner state.

## What Changed

- Protocol: optional `fileChanges[]` on `toolExecution` in
`provider-event.schema.json`, with the regenerated schema bundle,
validators and manifest. Paths are workspace-relative. A patch is at
most 32 KiB, and a call has at most 32 files.
- Runner (Rust): new `tool_file_changes.rs`. A Codex `fileChange` item
now also emits `tool.execution.*` with `fileChanges`; the native item
event stays for the recovery and progress projections.
`turn/diff/updated` becomes `workspace.change.updated`.
`normalize_acpx_tool_call` re-validates the sidecar's `fileChanges`.
`normalize_codex_notification_in` resolves absolute paths against the
session cwd.
- Runner (Rust): `has_bounded_rich_display_shape` accepts schema-valid
workspace diffs. Without this change, durable storage cut each patch
string to a 4 KiB preview. Patches use the uncapped secret redactor.
- Runner (TS): new `tool-file-changes.ts`. The ACPX sidecar computes
`fileChanges` from ACP `diff` content with the working directory. The
in-process Codex and ACPX mappers do the same, with an optional
`context` argument.
- UI: new `TaskChatDiffView` (colored rows, hunk labels, a height cap,
"Show N more lines"). Edit rows show counts and the diff. Collapsed
activity groups show edit totals. The workspace card is now "Changed in
this turn", with in-place per-file diffs, and it sits at the end of the
turn. When a harness sends no whole-turn diff (Claude), the card is
built from the edit rows. A change set is marked complete when its run
ends.
- UI: `native-run-events.ts` maps `workspace.change.updated` and
attaches each edit's latest patch to its row (the `diff` transcript
entries now carry `toolUseId`).
- Design tokens: `--diff-add-*`, `--diff-remove-*` and
`--sz-edit-diff-max-h` come from the status icon hues.
- Storybook: `Tasks/Edit diffs` story. Docs: `doc/run-log-events.md`.

## Verification

- Real runs on a local instance (`test-drive`, native runner):
- Codex (`gpt-5.6-sol`): the "Applied a patch" rows show `+9` and `+35
−2` with their diffs. The turn ends with "Changed in this turn", 2
files, `+42`, from `turn/diff/updated`.
- Claude (`claude-opus-5-5` via ACPX): the Write and Edit rows show
`+5`, `+14 −1` and `+9` with correct hunks. The turn card is built from
the edit rows.
- Codex model note: with `gpt-5.4`, pinned Codex 0.160 reports "model
metadata not found". The model then wrote files through the shell, so no
`fileChange` items occurred.
- `pnpm check:token-gates`: all gates clean.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/components/task-chat src/components/transcript src/adapters`: 1073
passed.
- `packages/paperclip-runner`: `vitest run src/provider-events.test.ts
src/tool-file-changes.test.ts src/cli/acpx-runtime-sidecar.test.ts`
passed. `check:protocol-types` and `check:protocol-manifest` match.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --lib provider_events
tool_file_changes`: passed. `cargo fmt --check`: clean.
- Storybook: open `Tasks and conversations/…/Tasks/Edit diffs`.

## Risks

- Larger payloads: an edit call can carry up to 96 KiB of patch in Rust,
and the sidecar keeps 48 KiB under its 128 KiB frame. Above the budget,
a file keeps its counts and drops its patch (`diffTruncated`).
- Redaction: each patch goes through the shared secret redactor. Before
this change, a 4 KiB preview cap also applied.
- Claude turn card: it joins each edit's patch in order. It is not a net
diff. For a file the turn created, the counts are net and exact. For an
existing file, the counts are summed over its edits.
- The workspace card moves to the end of the turn. One adapter test
changed to match.
- Local only: four Linux cgroup `task_memory` Rust tests fail on macOS.
They do not touch these modules.

## Model Used

(shell, browser and file editing) and a long context window.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 d8c47159d4 feat(task-chat): show Codex reasoning summaries as headline bullets (#19271)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The task chat shows what an agent does while it runs, including a
"Thinking" row for provider reasoning
> - Real Codex runs produced reasoning items with no text
> - So the Thinking row only says "Thinking" and never tells the user
what the agent works on
> - This pull request asks Codex for its own reasoning summaries, keeps
every summary part, and shows the parts as bullets
> - The benefit is that a user can see what the agent is thinking about,
and a collapsed live run shows the newest headline as its status line

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19252 (same pattern: show a harness signal that Paperclip already
receives)

**Subsystem affected**
Native runner (Rust runnerd Codex provider and event normalization, JS
Codex driver) and the task chat UI (Thinking row and activity rows).

**Problem or motivation**
Codex 0.160 resolves an unset reasoning summary from the model, and
current models resolve it to `"none"`. The rollout of a real gpt-5.6-sol
run records `turn_context.summary = "none"`, and all of its reasoning
items have `summary: []`. A local A/B with `codex exec` proved the
cause: `model_reasoning_summary=none` gives no reasoning text, and
`auto` gives headlines. Also, runnerd dropped `item/reasoning/*`
notifications and ignored the reasoning item's `summary[]`.

**Proposed solution**
Send `summary: "auto"` on Codex `turn/start`. Map
`item/reasoning/summaryTextDelta` and `summaryPartAdded` to reasoning
deltas, with a blank line before each later part. Use the joined
`summary[]` as the completed item text. In the UI, split the provider
text at headline lines and show one bullet per part.

**Alternatives considered**
Use `summary: "detailed"`. That gives longer text, but `auto` lets the
provider choose the best summarizer.

**Roadmap alignment**
This makes existing provider signals visible. It adds no new protocol
event type or data model.

**Additional context**
Research note: overlooked harness signals, item 2. Claude is out of
scope here. A live Claude run showed thinking blocks with signatures and
empty text: current models default `thinking.display` to `"omitted"`.
Claude Code ignores the `showThinkingSummaries` setting in SDK mode, and
ACPX does not forward a `thinking` option, so the fix needs a
claude-agent-acp patch hunk. That patch is also changed by #19264, so
the Claude change follows after #19264 merges. The UI in this PR already
shows prose-only (Claude) summaries.

## What Changed

- Rust runnerd (`codex_provider.rs`): send `summary: "auto"` on every
Codex `turn/start`.
- Rust runnerd (`provider_events.rs`): map
`item/reasoning/summaryTextDelta` and later `summaryPartAdded` to
`item.delta` with `kind: "reasoning"` and `channel: "summary"`. Use the
joined `summary[]` as a completed reasoning item's text.
- JS Codex driver: send `summary: "auto"` on direct app-server
transports, map `summaryPartAdded`, and read `summary[]` in `itemText`.
- UI: new `reasoning-summary.ts` splits provider text into headline
sections, and `TaskChatReasoningSummary` shows one bullet per part. The
Thinking row and the activity row use the newest headline as their
one-line status. Prose-only summaries (Claude) stay as prose.
- Storybook: new "Task chat reasoning summaries" story with live,
expanded, finished and Claude states.
- Tests: Rust normalizer test, JS driver test, and splitter unit tests.

## Verification

- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core` (provider events and the shared
identity golden).
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec vitest run
src/drivers/codex`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/components/task-chat src/components/transcript`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- Live test on a local worktree instance with a real Codex agent
(gpt-5.6-sol). The Codex rollout now records `summary: "auto"`. Run
events contain `**Assessing transaction boundary issues**`, a part
break, and `**Planning atomic claim fix and verification**`. The task
chat shows "Thought · Planning atomic claim fix and verification", and
the expanded row lists both headlines as bullets.
- Storybook: open "Tasks and conversations / Task creation and lifecycle
/ Tasks / Task chat reasoning summaries".
- Claude was not changed. A live Claude run confirmed the cause for the
follow-up (empty, signed thinking blocks).

## Risks

- Codex now writes reasoning summaries, which adds a small number of
output tokens per turn. This is the same cost as Codex CLI with its
normal default.
- The UI treats a line that is only bold text as a headline. A prose
line that is only bold text also starts a new bullet. This is display
only.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 3d0d178ff7 Reconcile qualified ACPX predecessors through ordinary recovery (#19153)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip runs agent work through a controller and a Runner.
> - A completed provider session can outlive an abrupt Runner exit.
> - The next owner must reconcile the retained source before it attaches
a new run.
> - The ordinary recovery foundation in #19132 first supports Codex App
Server.
> - Qualified ACPX providers need their own saved and live consistency
checks.
> - This pull request adds those checks and a separate provider
attestation.
> - The benefit is session continuity through existing recovery and
attachment.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Builds on #19132, which has merged. This PR targets `master` and
contains only the ACPX changes.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Recovery of a completed ACPX session after the Runner and provider stop.

**Current behavior**

Ordinary ACPX recovery and attachment preserve a qualified session. A
completed predecessor also needs trusted admission by its new owner
before restoration. Codex checks cannot attest ACPX state.

**Proposed behavior**

Reuse ordinary exact-source recovery. Compare live restored state with
saved dormant state when no uncertain effect explains new work. Require
the selected driver's separate ACPX prelaunch attestation. Settle
retained events before authenticated target attachment.

## What Changed

- Preserve baseline prepared cleanup and ordinary continuation. New
predecessor admission excludes prepared provider state; snapshots and
cleanup do not restart it.
- Observe existing recovery command facts. Keep ordinary active same-run
behavior and existing profile, workspace, model, permission, session and
catalog checks.
- Verify the restored qualified session's identity, turn, goal and
outstanding requests when saved state was dormant. Failed verification
reaps the owned process group.
- Validate scoped goal updates arriving during the final status snapshot
after the authoritative goal reply. Active or unknown updates fail
admission; earlier and benign queued events remain available to ordinary
polling.
- Recognize the existing inactive `limited`, `usage_limited` and
`budget_limited` goal statuses, so an unexpected active goal after
restore cannot bypass live verification. Treat malformed nested
working-state metadata as unproven while keeping missing-field
compatibility.
- Keep existing ordinary recovery of qualified session-open and
suspended ACPX sessions. The new integrity check does not expand
prepared restoration.
- Advertise `acpxRecoveryIntegrityVersion: 1`, separate from Codex
integrity. No native source mode or CLI remains.
- Require `acpxSourceRecoveryVersion: 1` from the selected trusted
execution driver for a stopped predecessor. Codex capability alone
cannot grant it.
- Reuse dynamic authenticated owner admission, retained source
accounting, and existing ordinary ACPX attachment.

## Verification

Current head `b294d8ae88d0` is one commit on `master` at `e80d745060fd`,
the merge of #19132. The ten-file diff is byte-for-byte identical to the
reviewed ACPX diff against its former base. The guide shows where
`paperclip-runnerd --build-metadata` emits
`acpxRecoveryIntegrityVersion: 1` and how host admission uses a separate
capability. [ACPX recovery
guide](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/b294d8ae88d019ef02a942e240bc5c14287239e0/packages/paperclip-runner/runner/DURABLE_TRANSPORT.md#recovering-acpx-between-turns)

The rebased head passed all 14 ACPX process cases, three native snapshot
checks, Runner typecheck and the binary metadata check locally. GitHub
CI, Docker and Windows passed on their first attempts. Standard Greptile
review 12 scored the rebased commit 5/5 with zero unresolved threads.

and [Docker Runner
41995103366](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41995103366)
passed on this exact head.

The initial main attempt lost self-hosted runners: the Runner package
log records a shutdown signal, and the other affected jobs report lost
communication or cancellation. Only unsuccessful jobs were retried;
their successful retry and aggregate gate are green. No source,
assertion or timeout change was made for this interruption.

- Combined `runnerd-acpx-source-reconciliation.test.ts` and
`runnerd-source-reconciliation.test.ts`: 25 real native/fake-provider
process cases passed. ACPX contributes 14 cases, including the
final-snapshot goal race, process-group cleanup, same-PID adoption,
exact provider identities, retained accounting, limited/paused goals and
ordinary active same-run recovery.
- The maintained fake sidecar emits a real `runtime.goal` frame between
the dormant goal reply and final snapshot response. Before the fix,
recovery succeeded. Afterward it refuses admission, reaps the owned
sidecar/provider group, and records only the original provider turn.
- Three native wire tests passed. They cover active updates with
low/equal/missing revisions, foreign run/session identity, and unchanged
ordered delivery of earlier history plus benign new events. The queue is
inspected without consuming frames.
- Both parent Codex final-read tests passed in the combined checkout:
active-goal refusal/reap and safe paused-goal delivery.
- The real native backend completes A, settles its journals, kills
Runner and provider, recovers the same ACPX session, adopts the
replacement Runner after controller restart, attaches B and completes a
second turn, then uses ordinary warm attachment for C and completes a
third successful turn. Record, backend and agent session identities
remain exact; ordinary ACPX attachment may restart its sidecar.
- Provider compatibility checks also passed while preparing this stack:
30 permission ordering/forwarding cases, 19 factory cases, the native
inactive-goal classification unit, and six native warm/suspend
integration cases.
- Combined offline Runner/fake-provider build, Runner `tsc --noEmit`,
`cargo fmt --all -- --check`, parent-relative `git diff --check`, and
added-line secret/personal-data scan passed.
- Only focused local checks ran. Full suites and platform checks run in
CI.


## Risks

- Fake providers prove protocol behavior, not vendor restore inertness
or all vendor background work. Real provider qualification remains
required.
- The trusted process owner must reject unsafe completed predecessors
before launch. Ordinary same-run active-goal recovery remains supported.
- Probes use the existing bounded sidecar budget. A timeout can
terminate the sidecar through existing transport cleanup. Null goal
projections remain supported.
- Ordinary ACPX attachment can restart the sidecar. Record, backend and
agent session identities remain exact; the Runner PID remains the same.
- This draft adds no deployment, release pin change or parking hook.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol (`gpt-6.1-sol`), high reasoning, through Codex with
local code and command tools.

> - The task chat flattened these events into generic tool rows. A web
search showed as "Ran Research eventType: research.started, summary: …".
The run's verification checks were dropped completely.
> - Live tests found a second break: the Rust runner core forwarded
Codex `webSearch` items without their query, action or results. The
canonical `research.*` events therefore had `query: null`.
> - This pull request keeps the full payload for these families (as
#19252 did for plans), adds small dedicated rows, and keeps the
web-search fields through the durable runner.
> - The benefit is that users see what the agent searched for, which
model actually ran, how long a wait lasts, and whether each check
passed, without opening the run log.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19252 (same pattern for the plan card)

**Subsystem affected**
Task chat activity rows (UI), the native run-event transcript mapping,
and the Rust runner core Codex normalizer.

**Problem or motivation**
Provider activity that the runner already maps to canonical events
reaches the task chat as unreadable generic rows. Verification checks
never appear. For Codex, the web-search query and action are lost before
they reach the canonical event.

**Proposed solution**
Keep `research`, `model_identity`, `artifact`, `review` and `wait`
events as `provider_activity` entries with their full payload. Project
the runner's `verification` items as a new `verification` family. Render
dedicated rows: a web search with its quoted query and source-domain
chips, a model switch as `from → to · reason`, a wait with a live
countdown, and green/red check lines. Keep bounded web-search and sleep
fields in the Rust normalizer.

**Alternatives considered**
A separate "Checks" block beside the final answer. We kept the checks in
the activity group, because the group summary already leads with "Check
failed" when a check fails.

## What Changed

- `ui/src/components/transcript/native-run-events.ts`: keep research,
model, artifact, review and wait events as `provider_activity` with the
full payload. Map `item.completed` items of kind `verification` to the
new `verification` family. Context, hook, safety and delegation stay on
the generic path, because other work items own them.
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/types.ts`,
`ui/src/components/task-chat/task-chat-model.ts`,
`ui/src/lib/issue-chat-messages.ts`: add the `verification`
provider-activity family.
- `ui/src/components/task-chat/task-chat-activity-presentation.ts`: add
labels: "Searched the web “query”", "Opened a web page host/path",
"Switched models a → b · reason", "Waiting 30s" / "Waited 30s", and
"Check passed" / "Check failed" / "Check not run".
- `ui/src/components/task-chat/TaskChatRunnerActivityGroup.tsx` and
`TaskChatProtocolActivityRow.tsx`: show up to three source-domain chips
under a finished search, a live countdown for a running wait, and a
check line with a tinted icon and its detail.
- `ui/src/components/task-chat/completed-activity-summary.ts`: the group
summary leads with "Check failed" when a check fails, and says "Switched
models" for a reroute.
- `ui/src/components/task-chat/transcript-adapter.ts`: verification
detail keys, and a `startedAt` timestamp that stays across lifecycle
merges (used by the countdown).
-
`packages/paperclip-runner/runner/crates/runner-core/src/provider_events.rs`:
keep bounded `query`, `action` and http(s) `results` for Codex
`webSearch` items, and `durationMs` for `sleep` items. Other item types
do not change.
- `ui/storybook/stories/tasks/task-chat-provider-activity.stories.tsx`:
new story. Its fixtures are persisted run events that go through the
production transcript path.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/components/transcript src/components/task-chat
src/components/TaskChatThread.test.tsx src/adapters/paperclip-runner
src/lib`: 275 files and 3669 tests pass.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core`: all tests pass, including the
new `keeps_bounded_web_search_and_sleep_identity`.
- UI typecheck is clean. `pnpm check:token-gates` is clean. `cargo fmt
--check` is clean.
- Storybook: open "Tasks and conversations / … / Task chat / Provider
activity". It shows a settled run, a live search, a live wait countdown
and a narrow layout.
- Live test on a local worktree instance with a real Codex agent
(gpt-5.6-sol, Codex app-server 0.160). The task asked for a web search,
a parser with tests, a pause, and two checks. The task chat showed
"Searched the web “ISO 8601 week date first week Thursday conversion
calendar date”" and two green check rows ("node --test week-date.test.js
· 8 tests passed; 0 failed.", "node --check week-date.js"). The group
summary read "Ran checks". Before the runner fix, the same search had
`query: null`.

Not verified live:
- The source-domain chips. Codex 0.160 sends `results: null`, because it
keeps search results on the server. The chips appear only when a
provider reports sources. Unit tests and the story cover them.
- The wait countdown and the model-switch row. In the live run Codex
paused with a shell `sleep`, not a native `sleep` item, and no reroute
occurred. Unit tests and the story cover both.
- Claude. Its WebSearch and WebFetch calls arrive as generic tool
executions, because ACPX drops the tool metadata. They show as tool
rows, as before. The ACPX `_meta` work is separate.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change only affects how canonical events display. The
generic path stays for the families that this PR does not change.
- The Rust normalizer now persists the web-search query and the source
URLs/titles in the run events. This data was already intended for the
canonical `research.v1` event, and it is bounded (4,000 characters per
text field, 64 results, http(s) URLs only).
- A search that Codex reports with `action: other` and no query shows as
"Searched the web" with no subject.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 5f61392cd6 Reconcile dormant Codex predecessors through ordinary recovery (#19132)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The native Runner keeps provider and controller journals between
turns.
> - A process can stop after a completed turn while those journals
remain valid.
> - The next owner must reconcile that source before it starts new work.
> - This pull request reuses ordinary recovery and authenticated run
attachment.
> - Existing journals and owner admission keep retained work under its
source.
> - The benefit is conversation recovery without another snapshot format
or native mode.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19057. Built on merged #19129. This is the Codex recovery
transport foundation. Process selection and controller scheduling remain
separate changes.

On normal startup, `paperclip-runnerd` selects durable transport from
its connection arguments. With `--connect-url`, the Runner dials the
controller. With `--listen-address 0.0.0.0 --listen-path
/api/runner/v1/connect/<run-id>` and optional `--listen-port` (default
`43127`), the controller dials the Runner. Both use the same durable
entry point for fresh launches and recovery. The bootstrap ticket
authenticates startup, and `recoveryIntegrityVersion` advertises a
recovery capability.

## What Changed

- Observe the existing recovered command journal before provider
restoration. A saved dormant Codex session with no uncertain effectful
command must still be dormant after restore. Ordinary active same-run
recovery keeps its existing behavior.
- Preserve prepared providers during snapshots, drain and cleanup. New
completed-predecessor admission excludes prepared state. Existing
cleanup and ordinary continuation keep their established behavior.
- Advertise `recoveryIntegrityVersion: 1`. Reject the removed
`--source-reconcile` flag. No separate native source mode or command
whitelist remains.
- Derive controller admission from the authenticated `authorityRunId`
and actual Runner identity. Reuse retain-only settlement through
attachment, authentication and checkpoint persistence. Preserve dynamic
ownership across home configuration and later warm reuse.
- Require the selected execution driver's trusted
`sourceRecoveryVersion: 1` prelaunch attestation for a stopped
predecessor. Binary metadata alone cannot authorize that launch.
Ordinary live adoption keeps its existing path.
- Support fresh authorized preparation from `recoveryLaunch: {
requirements }` without replacing the source's ordinary cache. Require
an authenticated owner throughout that transport's lifetime. Preserve
immutable recorded policy through target preparation and later warm
attachment; compare explicit settings using the provider factory's
effective defaults.
- Complete interrupted attachment at the existing fresh-snapshot
boundary: persist the checkpoint, recheck current ownership, complete
the external recovery callback, then release a real predecessor dispatch
hold. Keep callback/checkpoint failures retryable and cancellation
cleanup retained.
- Preserve completed-session event delivery after target attachment,
exact-thread history projections, source registration identity, exact
command replay and nullable usage redaction.
- Recheck current ownership and the queued run when a slow notification
consumer presents a permission request. Suppress stale presentation
while preserving the committed event and pending request for
source-owner settlement.

and pending-command checks, and the lost-source early-read exclusion.
Live adoption still does not restore a backup. All 43 focused process

staged handoff, ordinary adoption and source recovery. Runner `tsc
--noEmit`, parent-relative diff checks and added-line

it explains dial and listener startup, then follows completed run A
through ordinary recovery and authenticated attachment to run B. The
guide was rewritten in documentation commit `75db893fb9ab` and is
unchanged by the master-forward. Its listener CLI test and both
goal-update process tests passed.

Earlier feature head `c09ebb4a2a` includes a process regression for a
goal notification arriving between the restored goal response and the
final thread response. Before the fix the Runner admitted the provider.
The new tests prove that an active goal refuses admission and reaps the
provider, and that a paused goal is delivered normally. Both process
tests and five adjacent ordinary recovery cases pass locally. GitHub CI
passed on the first attempt, including the main, Windows, and Docker
workflows. Standard review 15 and Apex review 16 each scored this commit
5/5, with zero unresolved threads. [GitHub

[Greptile
review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/19132#issuecomment-6645302809)

- The final ownership-race checks pass 7 focused cases, including owner
changes during checkpoint persistence, handler publication and saved
receipt recovery.
- Native `codex_provider ordinary_recovery`: 6 passed, including
saved/live mismatch, pending and indeterminate same-run goals, settled
idle restoration and prepared reads/cleanup without a provider restart.
- Native `paperclip-runnerd tests::`: 9 passed, including metadata and
legacy flag rejection.
- Native
`interrupted_result_delivery_reconciles_exact_receipts_without_reexecuting_operations`:
passed.
- Final focused compatibility run: 24 process cases passed, including
all 19 retained-settlement rows with queued snapshots, both home
variants of A-to-B-to-C, ordinary attachment/suspension and
environment-prepared close.
- Existing `recovers an active second warm business run after deleting
its controller context assets`: passed.
- Runner `tsc --noEmit`, `git diff --check`, and added-line secret and
personal-data scans passed.
- Real native processes with the maintained fake Codex provider prove
abrupt A exit, ordinary recover A, same-process attach B, a second
successful turn, ordinary warm attach C and a third successful turn on
the same thread. Both isolated and preconfigured homes pass. The
isolated case also exercises environment option copying.
- Additional process cases cover cacheless preparation, same-PID
controller restart adoption, revoked preparation, retained tool-input
admission, direct attachment, ordinary suspension and unexpected live
goals.
- A prior revised-head CI run exposed 8 retained-cleanup failures caused
by prepared auto-restoration. That new behavior and its journal-binding
code are removed. All 19 affected settlement variants now pass locally.
The same CI run also had one environment-prepared close failure (focused
check passes) and two unchanged Cloud sign-in E2E heading timeouts.
Original logs remain recorded. Full suites and platform checks run in
CI.

passed. Greptile review 14 scores this exact head 5/5 with no unresolved
findings. The PR remains draft.

CI evidence: an unchanged `idle-completed-history` local HTTP readiness
case failed in the initial server 11/12 job (127092367616) and its first
targeted retry (127096952128). The isolated case and the full 75-case
file passed locally. The same-head debug retry (127103567635) passed,
and the full workflow is green. Original failures remain recorded. No
fixture diagnostic, assertion change, or timeout change was pushed.

Focused review-fix validation:

- 57 process cases passed across recovery, attachment and all 19
retained-cleanup variants.
- Final staged matrix: 5 cases, each exercising
queued/prepared/activated/completed boundaries, across owned
connect/listen, legacy no-owner connect/listen, and retained
cancellation cleanup.
- Four completion-failure cases pass: synchronous/asynchronous callback
failure, checkpoint failure before any callback, and owner rebind during
persistence before any callback. Fresh-snapshot retry succeeds without
duplicate provider work.
- Saved-policy positive and explicit-conflict negative pass, including
an authenticated compatible target grant and B-to-C continuity with
omitted live settings.
- Factory/Core checks: 34 passed, including effective ACPX defaults,
real policy changes, already-dispatching target work and predecessor
admission.
- Ordinary adoption compatibility checks: 11 passed. Cacheless owner
construction/revocation and policy checks: 6 passed.
- Deferred permission ordering/forwarding: 30 passed. The new
regressions reproduce owner changes before queueing and before
slow-consumer delivery; matching-owner presentation and later
source-owner settlement remain intact.
- Runner `tsc --noEmit`, `git diff --check`, and full-PR added-line
secret/personal-data scan passed at the corrected head.

New tests reproduced both review findings and premature completion on
failed persistence/changed ownership before the fixes. Full suites
remain assigned to CI.

## Risks

- Fake-provider tests do not prove vendor restore inertness or rollout
fsync.
- The process owner must prove stopped ownership, no successor and
strict dormant provider admission before a predecessor launch. This PR
does not select or stop host tasks.
- Ordinary suspended active-goal continuation remains distinct from
completed-predecessor admission.
- Live dormant checks use bounded goal and thread reads. Unsupported or
conflicting responses fail closed.
- Prepared provider state is outside new predecessor admission. Reads
and cleanup retain their baseline behavior. The feature targets
completed between-turn session-open or exited sessions.
- No tenant changes or image publication are included.

OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol (`gpt-6.1-sol`), high reasoning, through Codex with
local code and command tools.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip a0c0851766 Runner: add private host control channel (#19129)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip coordinates AI agents and their execution.
> - A hosted Runner can remain alive between turns.
> - Its host needs to park, claim, or retire that process without a
persistent Core connection.
> - Those requests need a private channel with bounded input and safe
retries.
> - This PR adds the channel codec and socket handling as an isolated
foundation.
> - Later lifecycle changes will validate and execute the requests.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Current behavior**
The Runner has no task-private host control channel. The earlier
combined lifecycle change was split for review.

**Proposed behavior**
Add a private Unix stream protocol for host lifecycle requests. This PR
does not wire it into Runner startup or advertise support. It can be
reviewed independently of stopped-process recovery.

**Reason and benefit**
Review frame parsing, credential handling, and retry behavior before
adding park and claim transitions. This replaces the transport portion
of #19060. The source-recovery work supersedes #19057 and #19058.

## What Changed

- Add `host_control.rs` and enable the existing rustix dependency's
socket APIs.
- Accept only a connected Unix stream. Set close-on-exec so provider
children do not inherit it.
- Bound request frames to 16 KiB. Reject unknown fields, malformed
requests, and EOF with a credential-free error.
- Add socket-pair tests for framing, deadlines, retries, conflicts, and
receipt-window reset in a separate test file.

### Transport contract

Each request is one newline-delimited JSON object. Each response is `{
"id": "request-id", "status": "..." }` followed by a newline.

| Request | Required binding | Intended effect in the later lifecycle
consumer |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `park` | Six Runner identity fields, last controller command sequence,
acknowledged source sequence | Retain the process and mounts after the
controller has settled that exact cut |
| `claim` | Park request ID and a fresh bootstrap ticket | Reconnect the
retained process through authenticated bootstrap |
| `retire` | Park request ID; optional claim ID and identity/sequence
cut | Retire only the matching parked or claimed process |

The six identity fields are Runner instance, environment lease, run,
normalized session, turn, and item IDs. This module only parses requests
and sends responses. The lifecycle consumer must validate these bindings
before performing an effect.

Before applying a request, the consumer checks the in-memory response
cache. An identical retry receives its prior status. Reusing a completed
request ID with different content returns `conflict`. Conflict responses
do not reserve an ID. A successful `parked` response starts a new cache
window; the consumer's identity, sequence, and park-ID checks must
reject requests from older windows. Credentials are neither persisted
nor included in errors.

Active reads are nonblocking. Parked reads block on socket input and may
have a caller-supplied receive deadline. Partial frames do not extend
that deadline. No idle polling is added.

## Verification

- `cargo test --offline --locked --manifest-path
packages/paperclip-runner/runner/Cargo.toml -p paperclip-runner-core
--lib host_control::` — 6 passed.
- Confirmed the repeated-chunk test fails when reads incorrectly reset
the original deadline. Restored production code and reran the targeted
suite.
- The initial policy gate did not recognize inline Rust tests. Moved the
same tests to the existing `src/tests/` convention.
- GitHub CI passed on `aaac996aba76`. Greptile is 5/5 on that commit,
with no unresolved review threads.
- A local merge-tree check against current master `1a7eb70a37bf` is
conflict-free.
- Reviewed changed lines for secrets, personal data, and private
deployment references before push.

## Risks

The module is dormant in this PR. It does not make a VM sleep, detach
Core, or evict a Runner. Integration must enforce the documented
identity and sequence fences before replying with success. The response
cache is process-local and does not provide recovery across process
death. Linux and Windows compilation are covered by CI; local socket
tests run on macOS.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex with tool use and code execution. GPT 6.1 Sol with High
effort handles the parallel recovery work; this isolated channel change
is implemented by the coordinating Codex agent.

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.

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.

DottaandPaperclip c39e076638 fix(runner): retain the cause of closed ACPX sessions (#18872)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents and their work.
> - Runner records provider failures so the task can show their cause.
> - An ACPX control request can fail and close its session before the
event pump runs.
> - The next poll then reports only that the session is closed.
> - A second cleanup error can also drop a valid startup cause.
> - This pull request retains each failure at its existing reporting
boundary.
> - Operators can inspect the cause while the failed session stays
closed.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: Refs #18622, #18847, #18854. Those changes preserve provider
causes and handle proven startup failures. This change covers a control
failure after provider execution starts.

**What happened?**

A rejected sidecar control closes the ACPX session. A later poll
replaces its error with `ACPX provider session is closed`. The native
terminal loses the control classification. Separately, cleanup can
discard an existing validated startup cause.

**Expected behavior**

Retain the first control classification in the failed terminal. Do not
invent a provider explanation for that code. Keep a validated startup
cause when cleanup also fails. Keep the session closed, uncertain tool
outcomes pending, and the existing recovery checks effective.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start an ACPX turn and receive an authorized tool call.
2. Return its result after the provider has retired that call. The
sidecar rejects `tool.resolve`.
3. Poll the native backend. Before this change, the terminal reports
only the closed-session guard.
4. For the separate startup case, combine a rejected `session.open`
cause with a cleanup error. Before this change, the combined error drops
its validated provider cause.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The two subprocess regressions and the cleanup-composition regression
fail against unchanged production code at `683fa4725e`.

**Deployment mode**

Native Runner with ACPX. The process regressions use the real Rust
subprocess transport and durable native backend. Their controlled
stale-tool rejection matches the production sidecar response shape. The
separate cleanup unit injects a cleanup error at the existing
error-composition boundary.

## What Changed

- Retain the first failure in the ACPX session and return it from later
closed-state checks.
- Keep the validated provider cause when cleanup also fails.
- Match the stale-tool fixture to production. It carries the closed code
and no invented provider cause.
- Cover a rejected tool result, normal shutdown, raw sidecar-text
exclusion, pending tool preservation, refusal of another turn, and
terminal replay after controller restart.
- Document the existing failure and recovery boundary.

## Verification

- Red: both process regressions fail on the base code. Polling replaces
the named control failure with the generic closed-session error. The
cleanup unit also fails because the combined error loses its existing
startup cause.
- Green: all 12 ACPX session tests, all 36 native backend tests, and all
four session unit tests pass. The stale-tool cases require the
classification and absence of an invented provider cause.
- Commands: `cargo test --manifest-path
packages/paperclip-runner/runner/Cargo.toml --locked -p
paperclip-runner-core --test acpx_provider_session` and the same command
with `--test native_provider_backend`.
- Map structure and whitespace checks pass.
- At head `981faa4`, the full Runner core Rust suite passes: 847 tests
passed and three existing tests are ignored. Workspace typecheck and
build pass. The existing TypeScript provider-failure and
durable-settlement boundary suites pass all 30 tests.
- An earlier concurrent local Rust attempt missed an existing Codex
diagnostic deadline. That case passes alone on baseline and head, and
the final full suite passes with the local socket support its tests
require.
- Complete current-head CI passes: 55 successful checks, five
intentional skips and two neutral checks; no failed or pending checks.
Both `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e` pass.
- Failed CI attempts were investigated before rerunning affected jobs.
Logs showed runner shutdowns/lost communication, an unchanged Windows
WebSocket authentication deadline, and an unchanged Cursor Cloud
Stop-fixture assertion. The Cursor Cloud case passes on baseline and
head. No test assertion or CI guard was disabled.
- The local full `pnpm test:run` invocation passed all six chat
partitions, covering 1,838 expanded cases. It was stopped as a duplicate
while still in general-server after complete sharded CI passed. A
completed local full Vitest run is not claimed.
- Greptile and Paperclip reviewed the corrected head at 5/5 with no
actionable findings. There are no unresolved review threads.
- The process test exercises control rejection, process cleanup, durable
terminal persistence, and controller restart. The provider boundary is a
deterministic sidecar fixture. It is not a live Claude or hosted
recovery test.
- A genuine provider refusal or uncertain external effect remains
unresolved. This change preserves its evidence and does not make it safe
to replay.

## Risks

- The first control classification becomes visible where a generic
closed-session error appeared before. Raw sidecar error text stays
excluded. Startup details use the existing validated and redacted
`ProviderFailure` contract.
- A stored failure must not grant execution authority. The failed
session still rejects calls and new turns. Normal shutdown has no
fabricated failure cause.
- No provider profile, digest, retry budget, process ownership rule,
migration, credential, or permission change is required.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with source inspection, code editing,
command execution and regression tests. The exact runtime snapshot and
context-window capacity 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.

DottaandPaperclip fbb7055b90 fix(runner): keep activity FIFOs out of Codex writable roots (#18886)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents and their work.
> - Runner owns each provider process and its activity channel.
> - Codex Plan mode uses a restricted filesystem policy.
> - Runner adds its activity FIFO as a writable filesystem root.
> - Codex adds protected metadata paths beneath each writable root.
> - A FIFO cannot contain those paths, so the Linux helper fails before
useful work starts.
> - This pull request grants access through the private activity
directory and keeps discovery files read-only.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18050. The activity channel came from that change. No existing
FIFO-mount repair was found. #18853 repairs interrupted preparation
recovery; it does not change this provider filesystem policy.

**What happened?**

A native Codex Plan session can fail while loading AGENTS.md
instructions. The filesystem helper tries to inspect
`activity.fifo/.aws` and fails with `Not a directory`. This happens
before the provider can produce the requested plan.

**Expected behavior**

The sandbox must load permitted instructions and allow activity-channel
writes. Plan mode must still reject workspace writes and private state
access.

**Steps to reproduce**

Use the ignored `read_only_codex_opens_with_runtime_activity` regression
in the Runner Rust suite with the source-pinned Linux Codex executable
and its matching bubblewrap resource. The fixture calls the actual
activity channel producer and policy projection. On the original
producer it exits 101 with the FIFO metadata-mount panic. With this
change it exits 0.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Original producer reproduced at
208bda1a0e. The local native artifact is
official Codex 0.160.0 for Linux arm64, which matches the source pin.
The failing hosted executable version was not independently available
from its normal run records.

**Deployment mode**

Native Runner with Linux Codex. Verification used an isolated local
Linux container with no network, credentials, or model call.

## What Changed

- Grant writes to the Runner-created private activity-channel directory
instead of using its FIFO as a filesystem root.
- Keep the lock, descriptor, and helper read-only. Keep the existing
network, workspace, environment, and active-run authority policies.
- Add actual channel isolation coverage and a pinned executable
regression. The latter also checks FIFO bytes, instruction reads,
workspace write denial, private-state and synthetic credential-home
denial, descriptor and lock write denial, lock removal denial, and
ambient-variable filtering.
- Document the native sandbox check and the separate fixture-export
path. Export alone does not verify the sandbox.

## Verification

- Actual producer plus official Linux Codex 0.160.0 and matching
bubblewrap: original producer exits 101 with the FIFO `.aws` panic;
changed producer exits 0 with all permission checks and exact FIFO
output verified.
- `cargo test --manifest-path
packages/paperclip-runner/runner/Cargo.toml runtime_notification --lib
--offline`: 8 passed, 2 manual sandbox fixtures ignored.
- `cargo test --manifest-path
packages/paperclip-runner/runner/Cargo.toml codex_provider::tests --lib
--offline`: 30 passed.
- `cargo build --manifest-path
packages/paperclip-runner/runner/Cargo.toml --bin paperclip-runnerd
--offline`: passed.
- Cargo format and diff checks passed.
- A broader optional local Rust library sweep did not pass in the
restricted macOS host. Three filesystem-monitor tests failed and another
did not finish; the owned sweep was bounded and stopped. A
socket-identity fixture also failed with EPERM. A representative monitor
failure and the socket failure were repeated with the unchanged original
producer. Their failures are retained and are not claimed fixed by this
PR.
- The existing ignored
`publisher_crosses_real_codex_tool_boundary_without_runner_state_access`
fixture was not executed successfully on the final head. Its stale
channel-directory denial was corrected after Greptile review. The
separate actual-producer Linux sandbox fixture verifies exact FIFO bytes
and permission denials; it does not call `record-activity`.
- Full local pnpm typecheck/test/build was not run for this Rust-only
change. Required technical CI passes on
fd4da0bf5e. Greptile is 5/5. The automatic
Paperclip Review remains queued; merge is held for that review. No
hosted task recovery or provider turn is claimed.

## Risks

The writable grant now covers the process-private channel directory. The
descriptor remains outside that grant. The lock has an explicit
read-only mount inside it. Native sandbox checks verify the lock cannot
be written or removed. Existing tests retain authority rotation,
stale-context rejection, malformed input bounds, and fixed-path cleanup
after endpoint replacement.

The retained startup error also mentions a loopback permission error.
This change fixes the independently reproduced FIFO-root defect. It does
not prove that every hosted namespace capability is healthy.
Preconfigured-home and custom policies retain their existing explicit
deny rules.

## 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.

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.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 9fb06afbfa fix(runner): explain ACPX session-start failures and name typed causes (#18847)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native Runner starts ACP providers (Claude, Codex, Pi and others)
through the ACPX sidecar. `session.open` starts the provider session.
> - When the provider session does not start, Runner reports
`classification=session_ensure_failed`. If the provider failed with a
plain error and not with an ACP `RequestError`, no provider cause
crosses the sidecar. Then the run error, the run events and the run log
do not say why the session did not start.
> - A provider can also type the failure, for example with ACP's
authentication-required code. Runner reported that failure with the same
generic classification. The server could not tell a limit or a sign-in
failure at session start from other startup failures.
> - On one instance, a Claude agent hit its provider usage limit. The
first run failed in the turn with a typed limit failure. Each later run
for many hours failed at `session.open` with only
`session_ensure_failed`. Operators could only guess the cause from the
timing.
> - This pull request keeps a redacted, bounded cause for every session
ensure rejection. It names a typed provider category in the closed
classification.
> - The benefit: an operator can read why a session did not start, and a
later recovery change can treat a typed startup failure by its category.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18622, which added the `ProviderFailure` cause for startup and
turn failures. This change closes the remaining startup gaps. Refs
#17543, which is a related open change to the same classifier. It keeps
the JSON-RPC code range as a closed code. The two changes edit the same
lines, so the second one to merge needs a small rebase.

**What happened?**

A native ACPX run failed before its first prompt with `ACPX sidecar
command session.open was rejected (retryable=false,
classification=session_ensure_failed)`. When the ensure rejection was
not an ACP `RequestError`, the run had no other cause data. When the
provider typed the failure (for example ACP `-32000` "Authentication
required"), the classification stayed the same generic value.

**Expected behavior**

Every session ensure rejection keeps a redacted provider cause that an
operator can read on the run. A typed provider failure keeps its
category in the cause and in the closed classification. Provider text
never goes into the closed error text.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Make `runtime.ensureSession` reject with a plain `Error`, or with an
ACP error that has code `-32000`.
2. Open a qualified ACPX runtime through the sidecar.
3. Before this change, the plain error has no `providerFailure`, and the
`-32000` error has category `unknown` and
`classification=session_ensure_failed`.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `e0276e0166c`.

## What Changed

- `acpxProviderFailure` reads ACP's reserved authentication-required
code (`-32000`) as category `authentication`. It also reads the
`errorKind` that Claude ACP puts in ACP error data (`rate_limit`,
`billing_error`, `authentication_failed`, `overloaded` and others). The
category table is now a `Map`, so an `errorKind` such as `constructor`
cannot select an inherited object key.
- The session ensure path in `codex-runtime-adapter.ts` keeps a cause
for every rejection. A rejection without an ACP error keeps its own
message, redacted with the launch environment and the existing
credential patterns, with category `unknown`. An abort reason is Runner
cancellation, so it does not become a provider cause. A non-`Error`
rejection now keeps its cause on the wrapper error.
- `acpx_sidecar_transport.rs`: for `ACPX_SESSION_ENSURE_FAILED`, a
schema-valid cause with a typed category gives
`classification=provider_<category>` (for example
`provider_quota_exhausted`, `provider_rate_limit`,
`provider_authentication`). An untyped or invalid cause keeps
`session_ensure_failed`. Only the validated enum value is used. The
cause's text never goes into the error string.
- `runnerd-codex-transport.ts`: when a command result has a provider
cause, the reported error now keeps Runner's closed ACPX rejection text,
so the classification stays in the run error. Before, it changed that
text to "Provider request failed". Any other message (for example a
Codex `RPC failed: ...` message) still gets the generic text. Provider
text still travels only in `providerFailure`.
- The credential-free Pi probe (`pi-closed-startup.test.mjs`,
`scripts/pi-public-install-probe.mjs`) now expects
`provider_authentication`. Pi reports its missing credential with ACP's
authentication-required error.
- Docs: `doc/run-log-events.md` and
`doc/architecture/runner-pi-capabilities.md`.

**What the Claude ACP agent returns at session start**
(`@agentclientprotocol/claude-agent-acp` 0.73.0 with the repository
patch, and the ACPX 0.13.1 patch):

- `newSession` and `loadSession` call `createSession`. It throws
`RequestError.authRequired` (`-32000`) only for a claude.ai subscription
when gateway auth is hidden. It throws `invalidParams` for a bad `cwd`
and `resourceNotFound` for a missing resumed session.
- Any other error, for example a failed SDK `initializationResult()`,
becomes a generic `-32603 Internal error`. The ACP SDK puts the raw
message in `data.details`, or the parsed JSON body in `data` when the
message is JSON.
- The typed AIR `sessionFailure` (category `limit`, `access` and others)
is sent only on prompt responses and on `session_info_update`
notifications. `loadSession` history replay also sends one for each
earlier usage-limit message, but that notification does not show whether
the limit is still active. The `errorKind` data is attached only by the
prompt loop.
- Thus a usage limit at session start has no typed signal on the ACP
error. The cause keeps the provider's message, and the existing `API
error: NNN` status parse can type it. This change does not add more
free-text matching.

**Shape for a recovery consumer:** the server reads the cause with
`providerFailureFromError(error)`, as it does now. A startup cause has
`phase: "startup"`, a `category` from the `ProviderFailure` schema and
its `retryability`. The run error keeps
`classification=provider_<category>` for a typed ensure failure, or
`session_ensure_failed` when the category is `unknown`.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run src/drivers/acpx src/cli
src/drivers/provider-failure.test.ts
src/live/runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts
src/live/runnerd-codex-transport-settlement.test.ts` in
`packages/paperclip-runner`: 103 of 104 files passed, 2214 tests. The 2
failures are in `installation-integrity.test.ts`. They fail the same way
on unmodified `origin/master` in this checkout (a temporary `server.js`
cannot resolve a module).
- New tests: a plain ensure error keeps its message with the
launch-environment secret and an `sk-ant-` value redacted; a `-32000`
ensure error gives category `authentication`; a non-`Error` rejection
with `errorKind: "billing_error"` gives `quota_exhausted`; an aborted
handshake gets no cause; typed and untyped ACP errors; a closed ACPX
rejection keeps its classification and a changed one gets the generic
text.
- `npx vitest run src/control-plane/acpx-controller-recovery.test.ts`: 8
passed.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --no-fail-fast`: all passed. New
unit test: typed categories give `provider_<category>`; `unknown`, no
cause, a category outside the schema and an extra field each keep
`session_ensure_failed`; other closed codes keep their own
classification. New pipe test through the fake sidecar: the cause
survives the rejection, the classification is typed or generic, and the
cause text is not in the error string. In the first full run, two
`stdio_mcp` relay tests timed out. They passed in the second full run.
They do not use the changed code.
- `node --test test/acpx-sidecar-contract.test.mjs
test/protocol-contract.test.mjs test/pi-closed-startup.test.mjs`: 29
passed. The Pi probe is skipped without the Pi distribution.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner typecheck` (TypeScript,
`cargo fmt --check`, `cargo check`): passed. `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/paperclip-runner build`: passed.
- Server, after the runner build: native provider failure, run
completion, task interruption presentation, Antigravity probe and the
related native session executor tests: 639 passed.
- Not verified: a live Claude account at its usage limit. I could not
run the credential-free Pi probe, because this checkout has no Pi
distribution. Its new expectation follows from the Pi patch, which
raises `RequestError.authRequired` for the missing credential.

## Risks

- The run error for an ACPX startup rejection with a cause now shows
Runner's closed rejection text, not "Provider request failed". This text
has only closed codes and is the same text that the run error showed
before #18622. Provider text stays in `providerFailure`.
- A plain ensure error message now becomes a displayed provider cause.
Redaction applies before the 4,000-character bound. A new credential
format that the patterns do not know can still need a new pattern. The
same risk applies to all provider causes.
- The classification of a typed ensure failure changes from
`session_ensure_failed` to `provider_<category>`. No server code matches
`session_ensure_failed`. The Pi probe expectation is updated.
- The category and retryability are evidence only. This change does not
change retry policy.

## 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.

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 2e37c73c05 Tell the agent about the launcher's memory limit (#18801)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The native Runner supervises the harness and tool processes for each
run
> - A launcher can put a memory limit on those processes
> - When a process goes above the limit, the kernel kills it, and the
agent sees only exit code 137
> - Any SIGKILL gives that code, so the agent cannot know the cause
> - The agent can then run the same command again and fail again, and
the people who read the run see no reason
> - Only the launcher knows if a limit applies, so Runner must not
assume one
> - The kernel gives the limit and the kill count in cgroup files
> - This pull request adds an optional `--task-memory-cgroup` flag that
names the task's cgroup
> - The benefit is that the agent knows the limit before it starts, the
agent can confirm a kill, and the run shows each kill

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #18730. That pull request lets the kernel kill large tool
processes under Runner. This pull request tells the agent when that
occurs because of a memory limit.

**What happened?**

A tool process on a VM with a 6 GiB task limit went above the limit. The
kernel killed it, and Runner and the agent continued. The agent received
exit code 137 and no other data. It ran the same type check in different
forms, and the kernel killed it five times.

**Expected behavior**

The agent knows about the limit. It can confirm that the limit killed
its process. It can then reduce the work or report a blocker. The run
shows the kills.

**Steps to reproduce**

Start Runner under a memory limit. Start a tool process that goes above
the limit. The agent and the run show only exit code 137.

**Deployment mode**

Native Runner on Linux, when the launcher gives the flag.

## What Changed

- Add the optional `--task-memory-cgroup <path>` flag to
`paperclip-runnerd`. Runner has no default value.
- Runner reads the limit from `memory.max` on the parent of that cgroup.
Runner reads the kill count from `oom_kill` in `memory.events` on that
cgroup.
- When a limit exists, add a note to the Codex and ACPX instructions at
launch. The note gives the limit, the meaning of exit code 137, the
paths of the files to read, and what to do after a kill.
- Record a `provider.notice.recorded` warning when `oom_kill` increases.
Runner watches `memory.events` for the kernel's change signal, so an
idle Runner does not read it. Runner takes the starting count before it
executes commands. It does not report kills from before it started.
- Without the flag, or when the parent has no limit, the instructions do
not change. Without the flag, Runner does not read the files and records
no notice.
- Add unit and integration tests.

## Verification

Tests ran in `rust:1-bookworm` on Linux arm64:

- `cargo fmt --all`
- `cargo clippy -p paperclip-runner-core --bin paperclip-runnerd --lib`
has no warnings in the new module.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --lib -- task_memory
restores_settled_session_for_explicit_run_attachment_only`: The task
memory tests pass. The second filter covers the note in the ACPX session
configuration.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --test task_memory`: this test
uses a separate process. It checks that no note and no monitor exist
before the flag value is set. It then checks the note in the Codex
`thread/start` and `thread/resume` requests.

The tests use files in a temporary directory that have the format of the
cgroup files. In a separate test on a real kernel, a kill above a limit
on a parent cgroup increased `oom_kill` in the cgroup of the killed
process. It did not increase `oom_kill` in the other child.

On a real kernel, an unprivileged process that watched `memory.events`
through a read-only mount received the change signal at the kill.

I did not run the complete suite locally. CI runs it.

I did not run this with a real launcher or on a real VM. The notice
payload has the same fields as other Runner notices, but no test sends
it through the control plane.

## Risks

- The note adds text to each provider's instructions when the launcher
gives the flag. If the text makes the instructions go above the provider
limit, Runner does not add the note.
- The task must be able to read the cgroup files. If it cannot, the note
is absent or the agent cannot read the paths, and the run continues as
it does now.
- A kill while the run is not ready gives a notice later. A kill after
Runner records 64 notices gives no notice. The agent can still read the
file.
- This pull request does not send a message into an active turn, because
most ACPX profiles do not support this. The agent must read the file to
confirm a kill.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 3910352c92 feat(runner): add experimental Cursor Cloud provider (#18068)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Runner gives each provider durable execution, tool, and completion
contracts.
> - Cursor Cloud currently has a direct adapter outside that native
contract.
> - Cloud work needs exact ownership across HTTP, SSE, Stop, and
recovery.
> - This PR adds a qualified Cloud API driver and verified proxy to
Runner.
> - Product setup and hosted placement remain separate dependent
changes.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #5664, #11803, #17299, and #17471. Product integration is #18069.
Managed-only API placement is #18310. The related direct-adapter
model/transcript work is not replaced. No duplicate native Cursor Cloud
integration was found.

## What Changed

- Add native `cursor_cloud` / `cursor_cloud_api` with explicit
model/repository validation, bounded HTTP/SSE, durable per-turn
checkpoints and a qualified Node proxy launched through the Rust facade.
- Commit terminal custody before publication/release; coalesce
consumers, preserve ambiguous create/Stop/recovery fences, reject late
tools, and distinguish definitely-unsent oversized requests from
ambiguous responses.
- Support scoped cold attachment, current authority, reconnect and
verified artifact staging. Keep unsupported warm/external and Windows
paths closed.
- Preserve early source cursors and verify immutable legacy prefixes
before suffix replay, including supported compaction/masking. Optional
proof publication failure falls back to complete cold verification.
- Preserve canonical records at the durable native producer with
JSON-safe privacy and the existing 8MiB bound; drain admitted successor
flushes. Reconcile upstream semantic/pack/schema/lifecycle changes and
retain S3 and legacy CLI checks.

## Verification

Core head `37c442ec8dd4`: all 66 check contexts are terminal
successful/neutral/skipped, including required `ci / verify` and `ci /
e2e`; fresh exact-head Greptile is 5/5 with zero unresolved threads.
Dependent Product `81e828d20a77` and Top `dd2959689627` include the
later client handoff correction and are running their own fresh gates.

Core: 47/47 Rust, 4/4 compiled-native retirement, 19/19 settlement and
normal Runner build passed. Runtime Top `9af1a5de42a2`: build and
recursive typecheck passed. Earlier source-scoped evidence includes 398
focused tests, five relay tests and token/type gates. The 251-assertion,
7/8-suite run failed physical PostgreSQL teardown; the unchanged stable
WSP suite passed 128 through the documented wrapper.

The downstream fixture corrections passed 7/7 browser and 121/121
startup tests without timeout/oracle relaxation; a broken-unsubscribe
control fails. Hosted runtime `9af1a5de42a2` has a passing normal build
and recursive typecheck. Latest dependent heads additionally contain a
pure client fix for stale live/history overlap, with 48 focused tests,
UI typecheck and token gates passing. Its new client is not deployed in
the frozen hosted image; server/native/API/provider source is unchanged
by these four downstream files.

Fresh hosted Linux admission on `9af1a5de42a2` retired its owned
runner/proxy/socket with zero prompts. The saved configuration survived
reopening, and Test authenticated the bound key/catalog/selected model
without a prompt. Artifact with `claude-sonnet-4-5` completed,
downloaded the exact 27 bytes, matched 121 canonical identities against
complete logs and independently reached FINISHED. The active Stop retry
was clicked within its immutable boundary, produced one canonical
interrupted turn and acknowledged run-only cancellation, retained a
valid 35.076s quiet window (maximum gap 4.584s), and independently
remained CANCELLED/artifact-absent beyond the original 180-second
command deadline. All provider-observer credential callbacks, DB clients
and loaders closed; accounting is settled and explicitly unpriced. The
first fresh Stop retains its failed 10.373s sampling gap and every
sample.

On the upgraded9af server, the historical F226 artifact was reopened and
downloaded with its exact original hash after its provider agent had
been deleted/GET404 earlier today. Historical F226 full Artifact/Stop
cleanup, Question, corrected Plan and reconnect retain their original
identities. Deleting the three newly created disposable provider agents
and the new-case post-delete grade remain blocked on explicit user
approval after automatic review rejected expanding the two original
approved IDs. No new-case cleanup or complete fresh matrix pass is
claimed; this is separate from the directly observed task/Stop behavior
and retained exact cleanup proof.

Retained failures: stale fixture 132/133; E8 48/135 with 87 reset-hook
failures; Mac 17 SQL failures/skips; earlier startup-title, title-save,
custody/Stop and deletion failures with unknown causes and bounded
recoveries. `dea023` Artifact passed 17 checks but Stop failed its false
warning and 50 duplicate log identities. Pre-repair ACK failure and
original Core CI failure remain recorded; retry alone establishes no
cause or full local-suite pass. Provider dollar cost stays UNKNOWN.

## Risks

Experimental: Cursor independently acknowledges neither the effective
model nor instruction digest before the first prompt. The caller’s
explicit values are submitted and behavior checked live. Unpriced
provider dollar cost stays UNKNOWN.

Only qualified per-turn controllers are admitted. Uncertain work and
incomplete cleanup stay fenced. Existing damaged/duplicate archives
remain failed evidence. Prefix proof adds bounded object-store I/O; the
8MiB producer bound does not guarantee future providers’ output fits.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, assisted with reasoning, repository tools,
code execution, browser verification, and delegated code review. The
serving model’s exact API ID and context window are not exposed. No
value is inferred from the model catalog.

DottaandPaperclip b22ef22d56 fix(runner): show provider failure details on tasks and runs (#18622)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native Runner starts providers and records their run outcomes.
> - Provider failures can contain useful details below a generic
protocol error.
> - Those details were lost at the sidecar, command receipt, and run
projection boundaries.
> - A blocked task therefore showed a generic failure even when the
provider gave a clear reason.
> - This pull request carries a bounded, sanitized provider failure
through those boundaries.
> - Operators can read the actual cause on the task and run pages.
Existing recovery policy still controls retries.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17543 for the related closed JSON-RPC classification work. Refs
#17272 for provider recovery in the legacy OpenCode adapter. This change
adds display evidence for native Runner providers and keeps recovery
policy separate.

**What happened?**

A native Claude session returned an HTTP 429 message below an ACP
`Internal error`. The task and run showed only a generic startup
failure. Operators had to inspect the provider response to learn that
the account was rate limited.

**Expected behavior**

The task and run show the sanitized provider message, provider name,
startup or turn phase, and available HTTP status. Unknown categories
keep the message. Display evidence does not grant a retry or replace a
recovery decision.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a native Claude run whose account is rate limited during model
selection, or return a structured provider failure from a Codex or
OpenCode turn.
2. Let the run fail and open its task page.
3. Before this change, the page shows a generic failure. With this
change, the page shows the provider explanation. The run page shows the
same explanation after reload.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Source checkout based on `f8a888a072`.

## What Changed

- Add one JSON Schema for `ProviderFailure` and generate matching Runner
and shared TypeScript readers. Keep the Runner package independent of
the app workspace at runtime.
- Normalize known ACPX, Codex, and OpenCode error fields. Preserve
unknown messages. Redact known credential values and credential patterns
before applying the 4,000-character limit. Do not copy response bodies,
headers, stacks, or prompts.
- Carry startup failures through the sidecar, Rust Runner, durable
command receipts, and private transport error details. Keep provider
text out of generic transport error strings and Sentry failure messages.
- Keep turn failures in authenticated run events. Recover the same
evidence from persisted events during server finalization. Store the
cause in the company-scoped run result.
- Show one shared notice on failed tasks and run details. Keep existing
retry permissions, scheduled retry state, and resolved-task behavior.
- Reapply registered run-secret and current-user redaction to task
display data. Batch secret lookups for only the visible provider causes.
- Document the contract and update the capability maps. Add regressions
for nested Claude 429 errors, OpenAI quota and rate limits, OpenCode
errors, redaction, durable receipt replay, restart finalization, and UI
rendering.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed. `pnpm build` passed. All GitHub Actions
build, test, package, and validation jobs passed on `d49c79ab4a`. The
security checks passed. Greptile gave this head 5/5 with no open review
threads. Paperclip Review remains pending. Its review worker exhausted
six workspace recovery attempts with export_interrupted. A fresh review
request was accepted and is waiting for that saved workspace. The
ordinary Retry action rejected reuse of the stopped request. This is an
external review-worker blocker; no check was overridden. The duplicate
local `pnpm test:run` was stopped after the CI test shards passed.
- Focused server settlement, provider evidence, and restart tests: 93
passed. Runner admission and normalization tests: 103 passed. Focused
Runner wire and terminal tests: 29 passed. The real Rust/sidecar command
receipt replay test passed.
- The new projection test failed before implementation because the task
had no provider cause. The startup producer regression also failed
before extraction moved ahead of the generic error-code replacement.
Both pass with this change.
- Live check: a rebuilt local sidecar received an actual Claude HTTP 429
during startup. The new cause kept the full provider message. A
synthetic task in an isolated local app then reached the same provider
error through the native Runner path. The dedicated run result, task
API, task banner, and run detail all showed the same message after
reload. The later reporting fix keeps run.error generic; a regression
proves the display cause still survives restart and stays out of Sentry
capture.
- The first isolated app attempt failed earlier in
`admission_credential`. An ordinary manual Retry reached the provider
and produced the 429 above. This PR does not claim to fix that separate
admission failure. An initial parallel local database test setup also
failed; the serial restart suite passed.
- Security review found that copying display text into run.error could
forward it to Sentry. A regression failed with that behavior. The fix
keeps the cause in its display field. All 38 settlement/restart tests
and the server typecheck pass.
- All 29 protocol contract tests pass, including bounds and extra-field
rejection. An earlier full Rust core run passed. The later full run hit
one 5-second receipt-limit timing assertion; its isolated rerun passed.
The full Linux and Windows Rust CI jobs passed on this head.
- Review regressions pass for explicit Codex driver identity, native
Rust startup and resume receipt propagation, oversized OpenCode/ACPX
errors, task read-time registered-secret redaction, and the standalone
source closure. The focused Runner run passed 103 tests;
projection/restart tests passed 16.
- Read-time redaction edge cases passed: a missing decryption key omits
only the unsafe optional explanation; expanded redacted messages remain
visible within the Unicode character limit. All 14 task projection tests
and server typecheck pass.
- The package Build check found an old Pi assertion against
Error.message. The probe now checks the exact closed classification in
the authenticated receipt and requires the new provider cause. Both
polling transport cases pass. A local credential-free Pi probe stopped
at admission_installation because this checkout lacks the Pi
distribution; the installed Linux package probe passed in CI on this
head.
- UI coverage includes startup and turn text, unknown categories,
literal rendering of provider text, read-only retry behavior, and
resolved-task suppression. Token gates and map checks passed.
- The live check covers Claude startup on macOS. Codex, OpenCode,
terminal failures, and restart paths have deterministic regression
coverage. The change is not deployed.

## Risks

- Provider messages are untrusted text. The boundary selects specific
fields, redacts credential patterns and known environment secret values,
bounds the message, and renders plain text. New provider-specific secret
formats may need added redaction patterns.
- Optional fields preserve compatibility with older producers and stored
runs. Old runs without the field keep their current fallback text. No
database migration is required.
- The cause stays in company-scoped run data. This change does not send
provider text to first-party Telemetry or add it to OpenTelemetry span
attributes.
- Normalized categories and retryability are display evidence. Existing
recovery classifiers, retry limits, ownership checks, and approval gates
keep their authority.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and browser verification. The host does not expose the exact
serving variant or context window size.

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 32f93cf9dd fix(runner): set Runner OOM protection at launch (#18730)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The native Runner supervises the harness and tool processes for each
run
> - A launcher can start Runner with a negative `oom_score_adj`, and
Linux children inherit that value
> - Then a large tool process has the same protection as Runner
> - If that protection is -1000, the kernel cannot kill the process, and
a VM with no other candidate panics
> - The correct protection for Runner is different in each environment,
so one static value is not correct
> - This pull request adds an optional `--oom-score-adj` launch flag.
With the flag, Runner also sets supervised processes to 0 when Runner
has a negative score
> - The benefit is that the launcher controls Runner protection, and the
kernel can kill the large process and let Runner report the failure

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #14509 and #16844. These pull requests change scores for the
server and for sandbox tool commands. This pull request changes the
native Runner.

**What happened?**

A native Runner on a VM inherited `oom_score_adj` -1000 from the VM init
process. A typecheck under Runner used most of the VM memory. The kernel
could not select any process and panicked with "System is deadlocked on
memory". The VM restarted, and the run failed with a transport error.

**Expected behavior**

The kernel can kill the large tool process. Runner continues and reports
the result.

**Steps to reproduce**

Start Runner with a negative score. Start a supervised process. Read
`/proc/<pid>/oom_score_adj` for the supervised process. The value is the
same as the Runner value. After this change, the value is 0 when the
launcher gives the flag.

**Deployment mode**

Native Runner on Linux, when the launcher gives Runner a negative score.

## What Changed

- Add the optional `--oom-score-adj <-1000..=1000>` flag to
`paperclip-runnerd`. Runner has no default value.
- Stop Runner startup when the value is not valid. When the kernel
refuses a valid value, or the platform is not Linux, write a diagnostic
and continue, because Runner is then only less protected than the
launcher asked for.
- When the launcher gives the flag and the Runner score is negative, set
each supervised process and verified stdio MCP server to 0 after spawn.
- Without the flag, Runner does not change any score. Children inherit
the Runner score, as they do now.
- Add unit and integration tests.

## Verification

Tests ran in `rust:1-bookworm` (rustc 1.99.1) on Linux arm64 with
`CAP_SYS_RESOURCE`:

- `cargo fmt --check -p paperclip-runner-core`
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --no-fail-fast`, before the flag
gate commit: all targets pass except `codex_provider` and `stdio_mcp`.
- `provider_receives_the_isolated_codex_auth_home` and its subprocess
helper fail in this container. They fail in the same way on clean
`master`.
-
`receipt_limit_polls_an_authoritative_terminal_with_unacknowledged_events`
and `cancellation_waiting_behind_output_is_handled_before_new_dispatch`
failed once in the full run. They pass when they run alone, on this
branch and on clean `master`. I think that they are sensitive to load,
but I did not prove this. CI is the check for these tests.
- `--test oom_score` and `--test oom_score_without_flag` pass with and
without `CAP_SYS_RESOURCE`. It covers the real Runner binary, flags that
are not valid, a Runner that cannot apply a negative score, and a
supervised child of a Runner with a negative score. The tests for
children of a Runner with a negative score skip themselves without
`CAP_SYS_RESOURCE`. The unit test covers the same reset logic without
that capability.

I also ran the debug Runner binary through the agent computer `enter`
command in a container, as UID 1000, with a floor of -500:

- Runner stayed alive at -500.
- The `oom_score` integration test passed in the same setup. Its
supervised child had the score 0.

After the flag gate commit, I ran the library `oom_score` tests, `--test
oom_score`, `--test oom_score_without_flag`, and `--test
process_supervisor` again. CI runs the complete suite.

I did not run this on a real VM.

## Risks

- A fork in the short time after exec and before the write keeps the
Runner score. The kernel can still kill that process unless the score is
-1000.
- The write to the child can fail. Runner ignores this failure, because
the child has no more protection than Runner.
- A launcher without the necessary privilege gets a Runner at the
inherited score. Runner writes a diagnostic to standard error, and the
run continues. A launcher that discards standard error does not see the
diagnostic.
- A launcher that does not give the flag has no change, also when Runner
starts with a negative score. On Linux, each spawn has one more atomic
read and no system call. A `oom_score_without_flag` test binary checks
this.
- A new Runner under a launcher that does not give the flag and gives
Runner -1000 keeps its children at -1000. Update that launcher to give
the flag.

tool use and code execution.

DottaandPaperclip 66e8fab944 fix: complete native chat responses and improve API discovery (#18364)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip must perform work and report its outcome accurately.
> - A chat response and its delegated or operator-owned work are
separate stages.
> - Native chat contracts instead required literal completion of the
user's whole request.
> - Agents kept searching or waiting even when a truthful handoff should
finish the response.
> - OpenCode also has separate acknowledgement backlog and
empty-response failure paths.
> - This PR aligns chat completion with its current stage and makes
OpenCode completion truthful.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18098 for retained OpenCode evidence and #18377 for separate eval
setup, oracle and reporting repairs.

**What happened?** Real pinned OpenCode 1.18.34 reproduced an MCP
timeout behind 800 text fragments. Pilot
[41222196525](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41222196525)
separately exposed a fabricated successful reply after a reasoning-only
response. Later restart attempts timed out without an answer. Their
native criterion literally required restarting the instance, although
the chat instructions and authority required an operator handoff.
General authority guidance alone did not resolve it.

**Expected behavior:** A standing chat completes its current authorized
response. It performs and verifies permitted actions, verifies delegated
handoffs, or explains the specific unavailable action and operator path.
The worker's task remains separate. Ordinary execution tasks must still
complete their requested work. Empty provider responses must not become
invented success.

**Version and reproduction:** Actual pinned OpenCode and native Rust
Runner, with retained full-stack AWS attempts. Product baseline master
`51ea624344`. This PR adds no historical catalog to master.

## What Changed

- Build standing-chat completion contracts from the server-owned
conversation identity. Scope each current request to the response stage;
preserve request text, criterion IDs, order, human-response scope and
source revisions. Require verified authorized actions and truthful
handoffs. Ordinary task contracts stay strict. Existing admitted inputs
retain their saved contract during recovery; new contract content uses
the existing revision/hash mechanism.
- Guide prospective defaults to their owning resource and preserve
existing work unless backfill is requested. Guide unavailable
board/operator operations to the supported handoff. These are general
chat instructions with no eval identities or expected answers.
- Batch adjacent assistant text for at most 50 ms and 4,000 UTF-8 bytes.
Preserve text, metadata and order; flush before non-text frames and
shutdown.
- Give an empty OpenCode response one correction within its existing
turn, model, reasoning, context and deadline. Accept actual completed
answer parts with incomplete headers. Preserve actual active tool work,
bound idle evidence grace and fail truthfully if correction stays empty.
- Reject empty OpenCode terminals in Rust without actual prose or an
accepted semantic result. Never invent successful replies or evidence.
Refresh generated project-discovery contracts.
- Preserve accurate public API-discovery descriptions for existing
project defaults and managed instance restart operations, including
their field scope and authority limits.

## Verification

**Qualified: [pilot
41256592937](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41256592937)
passes 3/3, with all 35 independent checks passing.**

| Case | Checks | Full case duration | Evidence and cleanup |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Instance restart | 9/9 | 140.1 s | complete |
| Project defaults | 11/11 | 204.2 s | complete |
| Project work | 15/15 | 204.0 s | complete |

All three are original-attempt results from source
`c51e079f7f2364305b131ffd549e263ff78c5335`, containing the exact product
files from `13c2b61f31d873a475ea0c3c026b19926ff42301`. Actual saved
conversation contracts were inspected, as were ordinary native worker
contracts where present. Each protected archive includes the actual API
state and final PNG; cleanup completes. Original queries,
`openrouter/deepseek/deepseek-v4.1-flash-1017`, finite case clocks,
concurrency one and zero eval retries are preserved. Earlier passes do
not transfer into this qualification.

Both current heads pass all checks: product **62** (56 success, one
neutral, five skipped), catalog **56** (54 success, one neutral, one
skipped). Both have exact-head Greptile **5/5**, zero unresolved review
threads and clean mergeability. The three trusted private-evidence
protocol files remain byte-identical to the dispatch workflow. Raw
evidence stays protected.

- **2,044 API discovery tests pass.** Red controls showed that “restart
instance” selected unrelated drain/settings operations and “save project
defaults” selected repository replacement. Accurate public summaries now
rank the existing operations correctly; route registration preserves
descriptions. No endpoint, permission or field behavior changes.
- **112 real-database, authenticated HTTP, native Runner and OpenAPI
consumer tests pass locally**, using disposable task-owned Docker
PostgreSQL. It was removed afterward; shared IPC was untouched. These
cover persisted contract selection, admitted native input and the model
envelope together. The isolated CI suites also pass.
- **77 focused contract/input/context tests pass.** Red controls catch
the wrong conversation predicate; canonical identity requires both agent
and user IDs, including the actual heartbeat projection. Ordinary tasks,
agent-only issues and planner tasks remain strict. Coalesced requests
preserve criterion identities, source hashes and human-response scope.
- **144 OpenCode driver tests pass**; native core **441 pass, one
ignored**; packaging **56 pass, six skipped**. Server typecheck and
build pass.
- Real pinned OpenCode/native Runner: a delayed 25-second
acknowledgement completes within the original 30-second MCP deadline.
The text-fragment control changes 817 notifications / 54.1 seconds /
timeout to 45 / 19.0 seconds / accepted finish. Separate fast,
six-minute and real authenticated API probes complete 32 tool calls plus
finish. These do not reproduce every remaining historical MCP timeout,
and no common cause is claimed for all such failures.

Retained failures remain attributed to their original source. Earlier
runs exposed fabricated empty-response success, prospective-default
backfill, a literal whole-task chat criterion, fixture readiness and
oracle/reporting defects. The immediately preceding
[41250502608](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41250502608),
product `c0bf249807` / source `7b1de24ce1`, is **1/3**: work 15/15;
restart 4/9 with the repaired contract actually admitted but no answer;
defaults timed out before settlement, then exceeded the unchanged 256
MiB original-evidence allowance. Defaults domain behavior on that
attempt remains inconclusive. #18377 retains the full attempt ledger,
including missing archives and pre-paid cancellations. The fresh 3/3
establishes these selected outcomes; it does not establish full-catalog
reliability.

## Risks

The shared contract change applies to standing native chats across
providers. It changes model instructions and completion scope, while
permission, approval and review gates remain enforced by their existing
owners. Incorrect model claims remain possible; the product evals
independently require actual mutations, native work and delivery. The
correction adds at most one provider request within the existing
deadline; text batching can delay adjacent text by 50 ms. Three
qualified attempts do not establish full-catalog reliability.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with repository inspection, tool use, code
execution and live eval tooling. Exact hosted model revision and
context-window size are not exposed.

DottaandPaperclip 492d537340 fix(native): recover controllers across webserver replacement (#18343)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Native execution runs in a remote Runner while the webserver owns
its controller.
> - Encrypted PRP checkpoints and session snapshots already survive a
webserver restart in Postgres.
> - Ordinary warm and per-turn admission still needs local markers and
supervisor metadata to find that state.
> - Replacing the webserver with an empty native controller directory
can therefore lose a usable retained session.
> - This change adds bounded recovery metadata to the existing snapshot
transaction and reconstructs local projections from the selected durable
source.
> - The benefit is native execution continuity across webserver
replacement, with the existing ownership and agent lifecycle policies.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Native remote controller recovery and retained-session continuation
during a webserver upgrade.

**Subsystem affected**

server/ — native runtime, checkpoint persistence, recovery scheduling
and internal upgrade reporting. Product E2E qualification also changes.

**Current behavior**

Without both the local PRP marker and supervisor file, normal
continuation can return before discovering the saved Postgres
checkpoint. The snapshot already exists in Postgres, but its local reuse
compatibility envelope cannot be reconstructed.

**Proposed behavior**

Select the existing durable source, validate its identity and ownership,
restore its PRP state and supervisor projection, then use normal
authenticated admission. Missing or inconsistent evidence holds
recovery. It does not authorize fresh provider work.

**Reason and benefit**

A replacement webserver must recover active execution and later continue
its retained session without the old server's native files. This is one
component of deployment continuity. HTTP traffic switching, workspace
storage migration and Railway rollout remain separate.

**Breaking changes**

No new public endpoint, schema migration or database pool. The private
run-profile envelope is additive. Disk-independent rollback also
requires a reader for the staged controller format and compact
checkpoint part; the first production release containing these readers
is the floor. Older file-backed sessions need an owner checkpoint or the
bounded internal importer.

**Additional context**

Related foundations: #17401, #17916, #17254, #14621, #14622. The
implementation contract and open acceptance gates are in [the dated
plan](doc/plans/2026-10-30-native-controller-checkpoints.md).

## What Changed

- Persist a versioned recovery envelope, at most 4 KiB, beside the
redacted session snapshot in its existing transaction. Keep it out of
public run projections.
- Compare frozen admission separately from prepared attachment
instructions during staged recovery, preserving exact
template/identity/authority checks.
- Bound the existing lazy checkpoint pool at three connections after
measured two-slot burst backlog; keep request/renewal capacities and SQL
operation counts unchanged. The tuning is a separate commit.
- Discover and restore the exact selected retained source without local
native markers. Preserve the 32-candidate window, progress barriers and
current authority checks.
- Fence snapshot and result writes. Acquire coordinator, issue and run
locks in order and check expiry after lock waits. Combine snapshot
ownership/read work into one statement.
- Reuse existing recovery deadlines and drain/resume scheduling.
Retained-owner waits preserve the original unstarted run and actual
lease deadline. Stop, ownership and provider-progress fences precede
deferral. Add bounded native evidence reporting, retained-source import
and retention protection.
- Admit a settled warm source with an authenticated idle goal-read
suffix while retaining active-work and mixed-authority holds.
- Permit lifecycle `turn.stop` checkpoints after accepted results under
existing ownership fences. Claim the existing successor coordinator
before retiring the old warm session, and stage shared attachments only
after verified retirement. Preserve omitted isolated-home defaults and
existing fresh skill-selection order during recovery without hiding real
configuration changes.
- Carry the exact durable six-field PRP binding during active recovery
after a healthy warm handoff. Keep the Runner mismatch guard and
preserve opaque attachment IDs.
- Preserve an already verified active or idle warm process during remote
preparation; revalidate its proof/liveness and retain later
authenticated PRP attachment. Ordinary resumed leases retain suspension
checks.
- Drain retained source events under their original authority, reconcile
immutable source accounting and block unknown source tool dispatch
before target work.
- Persist compact staged handoff intent through authenticated adoption
and recover direct/listener command-loss windows without another Runner
or duplicate attachment.
- Rebuild suspended lifecycle receipts for resumed prepared tasks, and
retry missing lifecycle reads after partial PRP materialization without
overwriting contradictory evidence.
- Add normal warm/per-turn diskless continuation coverage, real Postgres
races and SQL-cost checks. Add a reproducible paired load workload.
- Give only the explicit outage fixture a 15-minute provider idle
window, with a red/green catalog regression preserving all production
timing and lifecycle policies.
- Publish the goal-less task-session pointer in the existing
post-acceptance terminal checkpoint transaction, with current ownership,
accepted-result, reset and newer-progress fences. Keep a private bound
receipt so late completion cannot duplicate or resurrect publication.
- Use a retained warm sandbox in the dedicated continuity fixture, and
accept an exact output token followed by an explanation. Keep the strict
identity oracle.
- Extend the explicit Daytona cell to a five-minute active outage and
another replacement after completion. Require retained provider
identity, a new tool receipt and a useful follow-up result. Add an owned
loopback Postgres E2E fixture for hosts that cannot start embedded
Postgres.

## Verification

**Merge recommendation — `fc68584ce6231a02e47ecd743f55b036ccea034f`:
ready for the qualified native-controller component.** Full CI, fresh
review, local application paths, controlled performance qualification
and the strict live Linux/Daytona case pass. Independent resource
cleanup is complete. Broader rollout, browser reconnection and the
unexecuted transport/platform combinations remain integration gates.
Integrated 484 passed full local recursive typecheck/build and ordinary
active→completion→cache-loss→C component qualification. Fresh review
then found a valid attached-wake failure: preparation appends attachment
instructions before the verifier compares execution to the frozen
admission. 9f4 fixes that by separately checking the pre-preparation
admission and exact prepared execution. Both hashes are captured
privately per admission; the full template, identity, configuration and
authority checks remain. Its regression fails before the fix; 36 focused
cases, 42 staged source/target cases and server typecheck pass
afterward. The review thread is resolved. Exact-head full CI passes
([run
41168228822](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41168228822):
48 successful jobs, one intended skip); the complete `pnpm test:run`
partitions are forced, with the five native suites in the Runner lane.
This is not a claim that an unsharded local command passed. The fresh
exact-head Greptile check succeeds with 5/5 and all six threads
resolved.

The original two-connection database comparison closes **steady PASS and
burst FAIL**. Every relative CPU/WAL/request-p99 gate passes and all
operations/ownership remain correct, but candidate arm 3 drains in
1,015.99 ms and baseline arm 4 in 1,059.67 ms against the unchanged
1,000 ms absolute gate. Those results remain failed. A separate 2→3→4→2
diagnostic reproduces drain times 1,051.57 / 956.79 / 882.02 / 1,065.72
ms: three is the smallest tested passing cap, and the repeated two-cap
failure survives run-order/cache effects.

Separately reviewable `fc68584ce6` changes the existing lazy checkpoint
pool default to three connections. Request capacity stays ten and
liveness two; idle release, shutdown fencing, transaction counts and
pool count are unchanged. Thirteen DB lifecycle/cap tests and DB
typecheck pass. Full recursive typecheck/build pass at exact fc68584,
with the matching server build stamp. The final paired native
feature-cost comparison explicitly uses the **same cap-three policy and
common current DB factory in both variants**; its baseline is
controlled, not the unmodified historical cap-two configuration.
Original gates and workload counts remain unchanged. The one strict
Linux/Daytona case started at 04:40:56 UTC only after both new profiles
passed; it passed on the first attempt with all 49 workflow checks.
Independent cleanup confirms all three owned sandboxes absent, owned
Postgres/controllers/observer gone, VM terminated, root volume absent
and ephemeral SSH key/agent removed.

**Final controlled cap-three qualification: PASS.** Baseline native
implementation `59da15066a` and candidate `fc68584ce6` use the same
current DB factory and checkpoint policy (request/liveness/checkpoint =
10/2/3). Eight 65-second ABBA arms cover 300 controllers and 10,000
historical tasks. All correctness, absolute and 10% relative gates pass;
original cap-two failures remain unchanged.

| Mode | DB CPU µs/op, baseline → candidate | WAL B/op, baseline →
candidate | DB-request p99 ms, baseline → candidate | Maximum drain |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Steady | 542.40 → 554.83 (+2.29%) | 1509.01 → 1558.27 (+3.26%) |
107.11 → 111.90 (+4.48%) | 26.35 ms |
| Burst | 1036.36 → 1063.11 (+2.58%) | 4153.12 → 4317.64 (+3.96%) |
103.736 → 103.841 (+0.10%) | 930.14 ms |

Every matched arm preserves operation/statement/transaction counts,
including 3,900 PRP and 3,900 snapshot transactions. All three actual
pools are included; there are zero lost owners, missed lease deadlines,
dropped operations or errors. Peak Postgres CPU is 18.31%/9.47% of two
cores and memory 614.29/684.42 MiB (steady/burst). The benchmark uses
one Node process simulating 300 controllers; it does not qualify
two-webserver overlap, HTTP latency or hosted capacity. Its observer SQL
contributes to measured database CPU. The original unmodified cap-two
baseline is separately retained as failed; this cap-three comparison is
explicitly controlled.

The exact final-source 8/512/8,192-chunk test also passes: zero recovery
SQL, transactions or changed rows in each text-only interval, zero idle
SQL, seven lifecycle transactions and twelve changed rows per sample.
Existing lease traffic remains separate. The final ordinary managed
application replay passes active recovery, completion, native-cache
removal and C continuation; its UNKNOWN local debug-daemon provenance
and partial instruction-observer limits remain recorded. The live case
uses the attested Linux producer instead.


**Live qualification: PASS, one attempt, no retries.** Campaign
`native-controller-retained-fix-fc68584ce6-ec2-20261031T044055Z` started
04:40:56 UTC on the exact final Linux webserver source; suite definition
hash `12f9bb97823c1537e43f0398e7cddf39890f77bce7b413ca4dfd944f4a30e5d5`.
The existing immutable image and attested Bookworm Runner artifact are
unchanged.

- A was SIGKILLed and its native cache discarded. B started after
300,149 ms, naturally acquired generation 2, authenticated at 316,624 ms
and resumed at 317,682 ms within the original 420,000 ms grace. The same
active run, Runner, provider PID/start fingerprint and one
submitted/started/accepted turn were preserved; one final
result/terminal and workspace finalization completed, with no
retry/recovery action.
- After active and queued completion, B was SIGKILLed and its native
cache discarded again. C received exactly one ordinary task-comment API
follow-up, completed a new tool and produced a useful reply while
preserving native/provider/Runner identities. This closes the earlier
failed post-C gate. A separate C OS-process PID field was not exported;
the physical-PID proof is specifically A→B.
- Four distinct results were accepted and published; all four
finalizations committed at attempt 1, all four accounting-v2 projections
settled, and the task-session pointer advanced to C. The coordinator
independently checked these facts and all 49 canonical checks against
the sanitized receipts.
- Canonical cleanup passed and independent checks confirmed three exact
sandbox 404s plus complete inventory/zero owned remnants, no owned PG or
controller/observer processes, EC2 terminated, root volume absent, and
the ephemeral SSH key/agent removed by 04:54:25 UTC.

Live scope is classic remote Codex warm continuity with non-native
storage dependencies available. Prepared-task completed B→C, full
per-turn application disk loss, browser reconnection, two-server load
and overall Railway/HTTP continuity were not live-qualified here.
Earlier failed campaigns and the original cap-two burst failure remain
failed historical evidence. A report-renderer cache setup failure was
preserved; the normal sanitizer subsequently succeeded with an explicit
cache path and a new output directory, without changing validators.


The repair keeps retained events under their original six-field
authority until persistence and accounting accept them. Unknown semantic
effects stay unresolved. A compact staged target survives source
bootstrap, cached-command delivery and authenticated handoff, including
an uncertain commit response. Direct and same-guest-listener recovery
require the verified original Runner and the exact endpoint. Target
snapshot publication marks readiness in memory, with retirement
coalesced into an existing command write. Headers contain only the
staged descriptor/digest; a prequeue template is written once as a
changed checkpoint part and then recovered from the existing
command/receipt. No second session snapshot transaction, streaming SQL
path, new pool or recurring idle scan is added.

| Current repair gate | Evidence and scope |
| --- | --- |
| Source-tail regression | Real Runner protocol RED reproduced
attachment rejection. Frozen core/transport pass five source-tail cases:
source usage attribution, held persistence/no premature ACK, lost commit
response plus cache loss, unknown semantic hold and accounting rejection
hold. |
| Handoff loss windows | Direct and listener modes pass
queued/prepared/activated/completed boundaries (eight cells), preserving
the actual Runner/provider process. Missing adoption proof and changed
endpoints reject recovery. |
| Compact storage | A 31 KiB attachment grant writes its separate part
once, leaves it unchanged across source snapshots and removes it at
queueing. Headers do not duplicate the grant. |
| Accounting | 21 real-Postgres usage tests and 19 source-binding tests
pass. Recovery hydrates immutable source receipts without resetting
their producer or billing classification; conflicting/incomplete usage
holds. |
| Admission and malformed evidence | Driver 16, staged evidence 42,
restart classifier 27 and source usage 19 focused cases pass. Four
malformed-file regressions pass at d6a7, whose executor is
byte-identical at 484, and server typecheck passes. Full executor file:
990 pass; 16 embedded-Postgres `initdb` setup failures before
assertions, retained separately. |
| Required checks | Exact fc68584 recursive typecheck and build pass
locally, with matching server stamp. Forced full CI succeeds (48 jobs
pass, one intended skip); all PR checks are clean. Maps/token gates pass
for their unchanged source surfaces. Fresh exact-head Greptile is 5/5,
all six threads resolved. |
| Ordinary application path | Exact fc68584 managed component passes
active recovery after natural expiry, completion, native-cache loss and
ordinary C continuation. Production bytes match before/after; temporary
fixtures restored and owned DB/services cleaned. UNKNOWN local
debug-daemon/partial instruction-observer limits remain; the separate
live case uses the attested Linux producer. |
| Producer | Locked Bookworm build from exact 5b7 Rust tree
d03e494217, equal to final fc68584 Rust
source. SHA-256
65b8f8cfdd6099e9ad24f1ca154e8a260777269cc82f6e23c6e6a180c531eaaf;
38,515,328 bytes. Actual Debian 12 execution and live admission pass.
Controller/admission/DB changes do not relabel the producer source. |
| Historical cap-two comparison | Exact 59da baseline vs 5b7 candidate,
300 controllers/10,000 history, ABBA 4×65 s per mode, all three actual
pools and real snapshots. Steady CPU/op 541.36→554.64 µs (+2.45%);
WAL/op 1512.13→1560.99 B (+3.23%); DB-request p99 102.78→105.99 ms
(+3.12%): PASS. Burst CPU/op +4.71%, WAL/op +5.29%, p99 −0.10% pass
relative gates, but absolute drains above fail. Identical operation/SQL
counts, zero lost leases/drops/errors. One Node process simulates 300
controllers; this does not qualify two-webserver overlap or HTTP
capacity. |
| Live acceptance | Strict final-source Linux classic Codex case passes
1/1 on attempt 1, all 49 checks. Active recovery within grace and useful
retained C continuation succeed; four
accepted/published/committed/settled outcomes. Independent provider,
PG/process, VM/root and SSH cleanup complete. Prepared/task and broader
rollout limits are explicit above. |

**Historical qualification snapshot through `9eb9ac6`.** The head at
this snapshot was `9eb9ac6f9e312f3ebe8040f5a7565e88ae8824f3`. Server and
Runner package sources are byte-identical to `283e05ffaa`; the two later
commits change the explicitly scoped qualification and its documentation
only. It includes master through the storage-owner fix
`45a3a92e6dc52d20923b9aa34a22fee2ec5443f9` (#18357). At that snapshot,
CI/review passed but the strict post-C native recovery gate failed; the
PR stayed draft and required another native repair. Prior `39a4343` CI
and review passed, but its full live workflow failed; that grade remains
unchanged. The first repaired `435ccd2` live attempt failed before any
injected outage. It exposed a legitimate terminal snapshot before result
acceptance; no accepted result ID or publication receipt was observed.
Its canonical report remains 0/1 `candidate_failure`, with cleanup
passed and independent provider absence confirmed. `0862062` defers
publication until result acceptance and fixes the fresh review's
coordinator/issue lock-order finding. Both failures have deterministic
real-Postgres regressions. The `0862062` live attempt then proved
accepted-result publication but failed active recovery: a resumed-lease
preparation guard demanded suspension after the exact live Runner was
already verified for adoption. `64c0b746` preserves that verified
active/idle-warm process, revalidates its proof/liveness, and keeps
ordinary suspension checks and later PRP authentication. Its live run
passed preparation but exposed a second active-warm boundary: all
durable binding fields matched except opaque turn/item attachment IDs,
which the server had regenerated. `7a203274` carries the complete
verified six-field binding and keeps the strict Runner mismatch guard.
Its cloud case then passed active adoption, completion, publication and
accounting. The queued continuation exposed accepted-result retirement
writes and an implicit-home fingerprint drift; both are fixed with
deterministic regressions in `39a4343` before this fresh full
qualification.

The prior live case exposed a real publication gap. A goal-less native
turn could persist its accepted result and terminal snapshot before
provider cleanup, while the task-session pointer was still empty. Normal
later admission then selected a fresh session. The fix publishes that
pointer and a private bound receipt in the **existing post-acceptance
terminal checkpoint transaction**, before cleanup. Earlier terminal
observations persist without a handled receipt or continuation pointer.
No result-acceptance or snapshot transaction was added. The late
completion path recognizes the receipt. This also prevents a late
callback from restoring a pointer after a user reset. Goal/control
publication keeps its existing owner.

The dedicated Daytona fixture now uses the existing warm/reusable
environment. Its sandbox, Runner and provider storage must survive. The
former generic per-turn fixture disposed the sandbox after completion
and kept provider-history backup bytes under the discarded directory.
Whole per-turn disk-loss acceptance therefore has a separate
provider-backup storage dependency. It remains distinct from the passing
native per-turn component checks with backup storage available. The
60-second lease, 300-second outage and 420-second grace are unchanged.

| Gate | Current repair evidence |
| --- | --- |
| Assembled regression | Baseline fails with an accepted result and
terminal snapshot but a NULL task pointer while real provider cleanup is
held. The fix passes normal continuation and reset cases, with no
pointer seeding. Exact merged `92b7447` passed 2/2 twice, including
after normal package TypeScript output refresh. Production files are
byte-identical at frozen `435ccd2`. |
| Persistence and concurrency | 19 helper/transaction cases and all 59
existing control-port cases pass on `0862062`. They cover bound result
IDs, reset/newer epochs, Stop, lock waits and expiry, receipt replay,
missing stubs, foreign bindings and atomic 4 KiB rollback. Existing
snapshot transaction count stays one. The new tests reproduce the exact
live missing-result-ID error and the inverse replay/status lock order
against `435ccd2`, then pass after the correction. Replayed results
still reject stale generations. |
| Completion | All 32 completion-boundary tests pass on merged
`92b7447`; the source is unchanged at `435ccd2`. Native result-shaped
session metadata is preserved. |
| Qualification fixture | A valid review report reproduced three
rejected correct replies. Exact token-boundary matching fixes them. 140
focused E2E/catalog cases and Product E2E typecheck pass. Wrong tokens,
marker prefixes/suffixes and wrong authors remain rejected;
retained-identity checks are unchanged. |
| Required checks | Full recursive typecheck and standard build passed
at `435ccd2`. Both exact commands also passed on `0862062`, with its
exact server build stamp; both also pass on `7a203274`, with its exact
server build stamp. Fresh `0862062` Greptile passed 5/5, with zero
unresolved threads. The `64c0b746` normal CI then passed all 49 jobs (48
success, one expected skip) and Greptile passed 5/5 with zero unresolved
findings. The `7a203274` normal CI also passed 48 jobs with one expected
skip, with fresh Greptile 5/5 and zero unresolved findings. Current
`39a4343` recursive typecheck and standard build both pass with
persisted exit codes and its exact build stamp; fresh Greptile is 5/5
with zero unresolved findings. Its normal CI completed successfully: 48
jobs passed and one expected job skipped. The fresh live result remains
separately failed. The `0862062` normal CI had 46 passing jobs, one
expected skip, one worker communication failure and its aggregate
failure; GitHub states the self-hosted runner lost communication. No
failed assertion or specific OOM/spot cause was established, and no
blind retry was used. |
| PostgreSQL supplement | One corrected all-pool pair at the preceding
repair passed 300-controller/10,000-history correctness and absolute
gates. SQL 76,590→75,990; transactions 9,013→8,713; UPDATE rows 11,613
each; 300 correct pointer writes each. PG CPU 31.99→30.46 s, WAL
70.36→67.87 MB, request p99 100.98→103.12 ms. This is one pair, not a
repeated improvement claim or an exact `0862062` CPU measurement. Its
two later changes defer premature publication and reorder existing
locks; they add no transaction, stream/idle writer, pool or timer. The
first collapsed-pool attempt remains invalid and retained. This is not
an exact final-head CPU/WAL measurement; later fixes change ordering,
identity selection and in-memory skill replacement without adding
snapshot transactions, pools, stream writes or idle SQL. |
| Live publication proof (`0862062`) | Baseline run
`06fcc806-f186-4190-9b57-087b61d75533` accepted result
`58f912dc-94d9-4b4d-bd3d-d5f689c83fd3`; the publication receipt names
the same result, the task pointer has parameters and `lastRunId`
matches, and the normalized native identity matches the following active
run. Accounting v2 settled. |
| Active recovery (`0862062`) | **FAIL.** SIGKILL/cache discard at
23:07:28.666 UTC; hold 300,000.859 ms; B ready at 308,896.486 ms;
natural generation-2 ownership at 312,906 ms. At about 319 s,
preparation failed `runner_harness_state_mismatch:
resumed_not_suspended`. No authenticated after-receipt passed within 420
s. Exact original Runner PID 668/start/fingerprint was independently
still alive; provider auto-stop was 15 minutes. No retained C follow-up
qualified. Canonical 0/1 `cleanup_failure`/cleanup-failed report remains
failed; subsequent independent cleanup deleted all three owned resources
with exact 404s and confirmed full intended-account inventory with zero
owned resources. |
| Verified adoption preparation (`64c0b746`) | 91 focused cases pass,
including actual preparation for four active providers and a distinct
prior/current warm proof. Unproved resumed state, dead process and stale
warm owner remain rejected. The earlier options-only fixture missed this
gate. No spawn, backup restore or PRP-authentication bypass was added.
Server typecheck passes. |
| Active warm identity (`64c0b746`) | **FAIL.** B claimed generation 2
at 312,995 ms. Preparation passed, then strict PRP recovery rejected the
generated attachment IDs at about 319 s. The saved and desired Runner,
lease, normalized session and run IDs matched; only
`turn_attachment_…`/`item_attachment_…` differed from generated
`turn-<run>`/`item-<run>`. Canonical 0/1 cleanup-failed report remains
failed; independent cleanup confirmed deletion/404s and zero owned
provider resources. |
| Six-field identity repair (`7a203274`) | Actual server-factory
regression RED4→GREEN38. A real Rust Runner test passes healthy first
run → random-ID warm handoff → held active second run → restored
controller. It verifies a new live authenticated connection, exact
identity, same Runner/provider OS identities, no duplicate launch/turn,
and no redispatch or invented receipt for an uncertain tool. The
synthetic wrong pair still fails the unchanged guard. This protocol case
does not claim business completion. Server and Runner typechecks pass. |
| Active recovery/completion (`7a203274`) | **PASS for the active
component.** Full five-minute SIGKILL/cache-loss hold. B ready at
308,936.651 ms; natural generation 2 observed 312,979 ms; authenticated
at 317,720 ms and resumed processing at 318,527 ms. Same run
`1e1ccb00-0728-4935-97da-57562d81cb42`, Runner
`246f73f7-a689-4177-a9c2-7ce711d63aed`, remote PID 669/start
23:48:27.470, provider lease/session and one submitted turn. Accepted
result `49097529-5310-4ac3-af95-5bf9b91d19f4`, publication, finalization
and accounting v2 all settled. |
| Full workflow (`7a203274`) | **FAIL, preserved.** Queued
late-requirement run `5e61f38d-c7d1-4fc1-bcbf-bce9d46ce4eb` failed
`runner did not durably suspend before checkpoint` before outage 2.
Canonical 0/1 candidate failure, cleanup passed, evidence valid. C
retention was not exercised. Independent provider absence,
controllers/PG cleanup, EC2 termination and root-volume absence all
confirmed; closed receipt SHA-256
`676a3b15eb9937b6bf995c36fb8666c88964d509e5ceb9109fb02da0aa2bc909`. |
| Retirement and stable configuration (`39a4343`) | Real Runner +
Postgres RED reproduced the exact suspension failure and nine owner
rejections. `turn.stop` is now lifecycle checkpoint maintenance under
unchanged owner/result/generation fences. GREEN25/25 proves actual
persisted suspension, exact identity and completed stop/drain/suspend;
unaccepted, foreign, stale and new-work negatives remain rejected. Two
default-home fingerprint REDs become GREEN9/9; explicit mode changes
still invalidate. No global matching exemption or historical fingerprint
rewrite. |
| Fresh full Daytona warm cell (`39a4343`) | **FAIL, preserved.**
Launched 00:15:29 UTC with automatic retries disabled. Active adoption
passed: actual offline hold 300,000.848 ms; B ready 309,922.155 ms;
natural generation 2 at 311,821 ms; authenticated 317,989 ms; resumed
330,440 ms. Same run `3e126819-e786-4b3b-b923-c975cf4f5b79`, Runner
`4079138a-8d7c-44a4-8558-07a5411d1f55`, PID 668/start and
provider/session identities. Accepted result
`08e504af-4dec-48a8-bf05-bf0a32280559` and publication passed. Queued
run `31d168c9-7ab9-4700-abb6-fafb90912237` failed the same strict
suspension error before outage 2. Its row selected a new native
identity, but no new third provider process or invocation was observed.
Recovery-time configuration still reset only `adapterConfig`; native
provider, context and workspace subtrees were unchanged. Canonical 0/1
candidate failure, evidence valid, normal cleanup passed; all campaign
provider/PG/process resources independently absent. Closed campaign
receipt SHA-256
`5e7d6281c13c812f3a946667f97f3c7d339b5ad86a3a819bd185b2fa73bc4a19`;
EC2/SSH remain temporarily held for the concrete follow-up repair.
Original 60/300/420-second limits and strict queued/second-replacement
checks remain unchanged. Direct-process path; no new live prepared-task
claim. |
| Native retirement authority (`283e05ffaa`) | Exact `39a4343` facade
regression RED3→GREEN9. The successor now uses its existing production
coordinator claim and prompt renewal before strict retirement. A real
Runner/Postgres case starts in the actual native-observed/unclaimed
phase, claims through production code, then closes and durably suspends
the predecessor in 1.657 s. All 25 real-Postgres cases pass;
unclaimed/foreign writers remain rejected. Shared attachment staging
stays after retirement; Stop and denied claims neither close nor stage.
No new claim or SQL path was added. |
| Configuration continuity (`283e05ffaa`) | Real shared/project-primary
environment selection → configuration with four skill versions
reproduces `reset: true`, changed category exactly `adapterConfig`,
after a Postgres JSONB read. Pinned restoration had reordered the
generated preference while actual runtime skills stayed identical.
Replacing existing pinned rows in place preserves the original fresh
name/key order and fingerprint. The assembled regression passes, as do
three existing pinned-version/rename/alias cases and server typecheck.
Genuine model/skill-selection changes still invalidate. No
fingerprint-format change or broad compatibility exemption. |
| Final production repair (`283e05ffaa`) | Full recursive
typecheck/build and [normal
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41151145106)
PASS: 48 jobs plus one expected skip. Fresh review 5/5, zero unresolved
threads. Live baseline, recovered run and queued continuation all
succeeded, each accepted/published/committed once with accounting v2
settled. Their native/provider identities and configuration fingerprint
match; both recovery and continuation report no reset, no changed
categories and task-session reuse. Active outage/authentication remains
within original timing. |
| Browser-dependent continuation (`283e05ffaa`, definition 6) | **Whole
cell FAIL, preserved.** After B was killed at 00:46:38.928 and its cache
discarded, C became ready in 9,151.410 ms. `openParent()` then hit a
30-second `page.goto`/DOMContentLoaded timeout before posting the final
request. No fourth native run or C continuation was exercised. Cause of
navigation timeout is unknown. C task had no execution lock, queued
comments, handoff or recovery blocker; all three prior runs were
committed/accounted. Normal cleanup passed; independent provider
absence, controller/PG cleanup, EC2 termination and exact root-volume
absence confirmed. Sanitized report bundle SHA-256
`2a3b841d62efb2ae30ef14f96a431ac4fa7fe3a782f1144831512f78edc65022`. |
| Native API continuation qualification (`9eb9ac6f9e`, definition 7) |
**FAIL, preserved.** The real post-C API request dispatched run
`c71fbb18-f979-4fe4-93ce-9c4be46dbf21`, which failed
`native_session_interrupted` / `native_session_recovery_failed` at
01:10:00.640 UTC. It selected the same normalized native identity,
Runner and checkpoint-provider identity as the three succeeded turns. No
C result was accepted; pending accounting remains explicit. Active
recovery passed: actual offline hold 300,001.098 ms, B ready 308,335.019
ms, natural generation 2 observed 311,818 ms, authenticated 315,540 ms,
resumed 316,612 ms. Queued continuation succeeded/accepted/published. B
was then killed/cache discarded at 01:09:34.500 and C ready in 8,783.803
ms. Original classifier `transient_infrastructure`, whole-case failure
and cleanup passed are unchanged; that classifier does not establish the
root cause. All owned provider/PG/process resources, EC2, root volume
and SSH agent independently absent. Closed receipt SHA-256

Exact backend detail is unavailable in approved structured evidence. |
| Current required checks (`9eb9ac6f9e`) | Recursive typecheck, standard
build and exact build stamp PASS. [Normal
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41152908417)
PASS: 48 jobs plus one expected skip. Fresh Greptile 5/5, latest edited
summary checked, zero unresolved threads. Exact8/512/8,192 stream probes
again report zero recovery SQL/transactions/rows and settled-idle SQL;
seven control transactions/twelve changed rows each, with 36 separate
legitimate renewals in the longest case. CI success does not supersede
the failed live C gate. |

The completion supplement observed secondary request/liveness/checkpoint
transaction p99 increases of 23.0%/45.7%/15.6% in its single pair.
Renewal p99 stayed below 0.865 s, with 900 successful renewals per arm
and no lost leases. The named pool caps stayed 10+2+2. An aggregate
activity sample peaked at 15 non-observer entries without backend-type
classification, so no claim is made that all were client connections. No
sampled lock episodes does not establish zero lock waits.

Twelve pure reader/selector cases also pass with the new adjacent
receipt. This is not another executed process rollback. Development
reader `5cf7aead` can parse the recovery state, but its old run-detail
redactor can expose receipt IDs/outcome to an authorized run reader. The
first production release containing recovery readers, complete
attachment-identity handling and both private-field redactions is the
rollback floor. The implicit-home fix prevents new recovery-time
fingerprint drift; it does not rewrite previously stored fingerprints
from failed candidates. The development probe is not a published
supported rollback target.

Latest actual `0862062` Runner tests independently passed 8/512/8,192
text chunks with zero recovery SQL, transactions and changed rows, plus
zero settled-idle SQL. All three observed seven setup/control
transactions and twelve changed rows. The 8,192-chunk case separately
recorded 31 legitimate lease-renewal statements, with no lost lease.
These are component SQL observations, not a production CPU/WAL claim.
The new adoption and identity branches affect recovery preparation only.
The `64c0b746`, `7a203274` and exact `39a4343` CI independently passed
all three stream sizes with the same zero-SQL/idle result; each latest
8,192-chunk case recorded 36 separate renewal statements. Exact
`39a4343` Runner 2/2 passed 133 files / 2,317 tests plus two skips; its
separate native group passed 150 tests plus eight skips.

The first API fixture revision omitted the mandatory final screenshot;
this was caught before paid launch and allocated no provider/model work.
The correction captures the actual retained Chromium page with an
explicit unqualified-browser label, without changing the standard report
validator.

Automatic approval review rejected exporting raw private API/workflow
snapshots because of sensitive payloads and insufficient
destination-specific authorization. Sanitized reports and
bound/hash-only receipts are retained; raw snapshots were not copied
through another channel. This does not change the failed grade.

Repair characterization also preserves its failed attempts. An
unconditional staging relocation broke three existing same-scope
scripted cases; the final implementation defers staging only for an
actual superseded warm scope, and all nine order/race cases pass. One
baseline transform overlapped an edit and is explicitly invalid; the
actual immutable `39a4343` loader then produced the three genuine REDs.
The independent task-directory hypothesis produced a RED but was
excluded by the live shared-workspace evidence; no directory policy
change was landed. A shared-workspace fixture authorization omission was
corrected separately from the four-skill semantic RED.

Setup failures are retained separately from semantic outcomes. These
include an old host port after the owned Postgres fixture restarted and
a sandbox-denied TSX IPC pipe. The supported external-Postgres run
passed, and the final exact recursive typecheck passes with normal
process permissions. Seven stale declaration errors after the master
merge cleared after compiling the actual merged SDK/Runner TypeScript
sources. No declarations were edited by hand.

<details>
<summary>Earlier qualification measurements and failed attempts
(historical, before this repair)</summary>

**Historical blocked gate (before the repair below).** Final native
implementation is `abed921e12d543b62f57a56435419c0dafb0bc33`; current
branch head is `af9e2d157dcc349e55374ad186c9be2d6cb96bf9`. The two later
commits change only qualification fixtures, their matcher and
documentation; `server/` and `packages/` are unchanged. It includes
master through `fd008979f5794fda3d5f54151d36acd31d0de140`.

The live Daytona measurement proves five-minute active recovery,
once-only completion and accounting, but **fails retained-session
identity after the second replacement**. The saved checkpoint and
recovery metadata exist. The task-session pointer remains empty, and
ordinary admission creates new native/provider sessions. The exact
skipped publication boundary remains unproven. A useful saved-file
result alone does not satisfy retained-session continuation. This
application-path gap blocks merge independently of CI.

A separate new-master CI failure is owned by the storage workstream (fix
in #18357). No storage guard, session-identity oracle, lease/grace limit
or provider result was relaxed.

| Gate | Observed result and exact scope |
| --- | --- |
| Distinct source recovery and compatible rollback | PASS at A
`5cf7aead09a2d9c7e2f2929d761f535ef3c1d798` → B
`5ea45f8d17e33c9a62bd79982dcf0375b07733d0` → fresh B → A. Four
controller processes, natural 60-second lease expiry, absent native
projections before replacements, three succeeded/committed unique
results, one provider thread, unchanged Runner identity, and strict idle
cleanup. 177.782 seconds. |
| Immutable installed native component | PASS at installed A
`5cf7aead09a2d9c7e2f2929d761f535ef3c1d798` → installed B
`eaef0d56552c087aaa4fa68a8655282ffbd12667` → fresh B → A. Each
controller imports its contained compiled server and DB. Three unique
committed results, stable Runner/thread, no extra provider restart on
same-contract rollback, strict cleanup. 106.672 seconds. This is
compiled component proof, separate from full CLI-native application
acceptance. |
| Normal public CLI startup | PASS for B
`eaef0d56552c087aaa4fa68a8655282ffbd12667`, Node 24.22.1, darwin-arm64:
fresh external DB, 415 migrations, health ready, root HTML 200, company
POST 201 plus GET readback. The installed tree remained unchanged after
execution. |
| Five-minute component outage | Actual controller absence 300,168 ms.
Natural generation-2 claim at 407.196 seconds after crash, same provider
attempt and Runner, original run succeeded/committed. The larger
540-second case timed out before its retained follow-ups, so it is an
active-adoption pass, not a complete four-controller pass. The complete
short source/installed cases above independently cover follow-up and
rollback. |
| Drain/resume review regression | Fixed in
`226f03e736d1ee99fea1762ab32ea3a8a9241c20`. Five facade-level cases
pass: overdue normal/restart waits, future timer cancellation, another
facade resuming the original owner, and transient retry. Against exact
prior scheduler `5ea45f8d17e33c9a62bd79982dcf0375b07733d0`, four fail
and one passes. The later head changes documentation only. |
| Final corrected-fixture Daytona | **PARTIAL: active recovery PASS;
retained identity FAIL**, exact live source `0b6afc499f`. A was
SIGKILLed and native cache discarded; actual offline hold 300,000.375
ms. B was ready at 308,326.961 ms, naturally claimed generation 2 at
312,059 ms, authenticated at 315,996 ms and resumed processing at
316,519 ms, within the original 420-second boundary. The same run,
Runner PID/start, session, lease and event prefix survived; one turn
submitted. Original execution succeeded and settled accounting. After
completion, B was killed and its native cache discarded; C was ready in
9,077.779 ms. C executed the saved project and returned correct
`queue_r`, with all four runs succeeded/accounted. However, native and
true provider-session identities changed: the unchanged retained oracle
fails. No whole-workflow pass is claimed. |
| Prior matched-producer Daytona | FAILED at exact `abed921e12`. The
matching current-source Runner passed normal admission, completed the
first task and settled its accounting. During the active revision, A was
SIGKILLed and its native cache discarded. Actual offline hold was
300,000.727 ms; B was ready at 308,304 ms and naturally claimed
generation 2 at 309,651 ms. At about 318 seconds, the remote process
check reported `process_not_running` for the original admitted Runner.
No authenticated after-receipt or retained follow-up passed. The current
failure is preserved; no automatic retry, lease/grace relaxation, debt
edit or provider replay is used. Bounded forensic read found preserved
exact-bound state with no recoverable failure, a transport-reset
diagnostic and no terminal delivery; this supports external process loss
without proving the exact cause. The sandbox had a five-minute auto-stop
policy, conflicting with the required surviving-sandbox assumption.
Owned cleanup precedes the separate corrected-fixture case. |

**Live retained-session boundary.** Prior completed run `3806…` and C
follow-up `8adf1df3-6744-40bf-b35d-100451f29d9f` both have database
session snapshots and `nativeControllerRecovery`. Their tool
fingerprint, provider configuration, workspace descriptor,
runtime-context digest, driver and work mode match. There is no recorded
force-fresh/workspace-selection change, and this is an ordinary task
rather than a conversation-generation reset. The same issue/agent
task-session row has `session_params_json: null` and `last_run_id: null`
from baseline time. Both native normalized UUID and actual provider
session/thread hashes differ after C. Full application admission
therefore did not select the retained source. No fallback to file
execution or relaxed identity comparison is accepted as proof of
continuity.

**Independent cleanup completed.** Full current-account provider
inventory confirms no resources owned by either final fixture, with
exact-ID absence checks. Owned controllers and campaign Postgres are
stopped/removed. EC2 `i-01551c09af098dde5` is terminated, its
delete-on-termination root volume returned `InvalidVolume.NotFound` at
22:14:08 UTC, and the temporary SSH key/agent were removed. The
canonical failed report and immutable oracle input are retained. Closed
qualification receipt SHA-256:
`b4b5fefce287ebfdbf2cc2238efaad62d8ad485aed0e9c0628ae95dbc18a8575`.

**Original measurement and grader repair remain separate.** The C reply
contains the requested marker followed by a newline and the correct
output. The old workflow waited for one literal space, so its normal
receipt collection stalled; that original attempt was closed and its
canonical `cleanup_failure`/interrupted result is preserved. Commit
`af9e2d157d` repairs only this reply predicate, with 144 focused cases,
E2E typecheck, discovery and diff checks passing. Ordinary string
matching stays literal. The corrected predicate accepts the saved reply,
but the unchanged retained-identity oracle still fails. Pure
active-recovery grading of the captured measurement passes 7/7; this is
not a rewritten passing campaign.

The sandbox idle-window conflict was corrected only for this explicit
fixture (15 minutes). Actual baseline and later sandbox metadata confirm
that policy; the original active box was disposed before a post-gate
policy read, so its 15-minute setting is established by the normal
create/environment configuration rather than an after-read of that box.
Production native lifecycle and the 60/300/420-second constants remain
unchanged.

The development compatibility reader A is a genuine backport commit
based on `59ff89a18fe1312b5f0bb908439bbdb1237b0252`, with the required
idle-goal reader fixes. It is not a previously published release. Its
older executor differs from B. The rollback floor must include this
reader capability. The source component cases admitted the Linux ARM64
Runner packaged at `59ff89a18fe1312b5f0bb908439bbdb1237b0252`; the
installed component case admitted the `5cf7aead` package. Their Runner
bytes are identical: SHA-256
`b1f04caa1ce04e720dec7eb62ede170eb3621948c0849b8f305ea5c5116bced8`. Each
admitted artifact remained unchanged throughout its case.

[Final public package
build](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41121460635)
and [reader-floor
build](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41122170506)
both passed all four daemon builds, package assembly and both Darwin
clean consumers. Both Linux ARM consumers failed before provider work
with the same existing local Codex permission-profile error: bubblewrap
attempts `activity.fifo/.git` and reports “Not a directory.” This
matched baseline failure remains open; it is not a native remote
continuity pass. Full post-run tree and build-stamp revalidation also
passed after the compiled native case. The installed component trees are
A `c29114c1bf71c5af00f761aeb9e3d84ed3d3075b9f5600dee3ef2543eb2b6ec5` and
B `eda575505373a3bdc630fa4919862b359791fe3a7ef637961a25b73b38efe4b0`.

**Controlled PostgreSQL qualification passed.**
Baseline/candidate/candidate/baseline workloads used 300 controllers,
10,000 historical tasks, real snapshot/encrypted PRP writes and
unchanged pools. PostgreSQL and client were each limited to two CPUs and
1536 MiB on an isolated eight-vCPU Linux host.

| Workload | PG CPU per operation | WAL per operation | Database request
p99 |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Steady | +1.18% | +1.81% | +1.91% |
| Aligned burst | +3.40% | +2.56% | +3.81% |
| Two logical servers | +3.11% | +2.56% | +9.68% |

All arms passed absolute/correctness gates with unchanged control
transaction counts, no dropped operations and no owner loss. Overlap p99
has little margin below the relative threshold. It uses two clients in
one Node process, not two HTTP servers. [Closed measurements and
limitations](doc/plans/2026-10-30-native-controller-qualification-evidence.json)
and exact-source reproduction patches are retained. [Earlier
contended-host
failures](doc/plans/2026-10-30-native-controller-load-evidence.json)
remain unchanged. The production DB-claim probe claimed 300 owners in
2.84 seconds and restored/committed controls and snapshots in 8.74
seconds, with zero owner loss or settled-idle SQL; its provider
references were synthetic. The measured checkpoint/snapshot/renewal
paths retain the same persistence behavior after integration; later
accounting and business writes have separate owners.

Actual Runner stream tests at `da8c7f6e1837ddd896dfe83a7524812fee813487`
passed 8/512/8,192 chunks: zero recovery SQL, transactions and changed
rows during text intervals; zero settled-idle SQL. Each retained seven
control transactions and twelve changed records. Existing renewal SQL
was measured separately. The guard/scheduler fixes add no stream path,
pool or recurring idle scan.

The live fixture used current-source producer SHA-256
`f0000c90cb83880191479da639201e659aa6ce0fc7d67c859faa172ec977849e`, a
normal locked exact-head build with pinned Rust 1.97.1 in Bookworm.
Actual network-isolated, read-only ABI execution passed (GLIBC
requirement 2.34 against runtime 2.36). The immutable base image
remained
`ghcr.io/paperclipai/paperclip-daytona-runner@sha256:36069788f53c51f228764fa36180575443dfb5d1f84a342d7c0daceb28dc61cc`,
source `a0ef3ce7`. This was an unpublished development producer,
explicitly distinct from the base image and admitted before the fresh
fixture began. The earlier host build failed ABI preflight before
admission. The preceding old-producer fixture completed its initial task
but lacked the usage-basis marker required by current master; it
remained pending/unpriced and correctly paused. It was independently
cleaned without debt or budget changes. Two preceding local Linux setup
attempts OOM-killed before provider allocation, and their cleanup
passed. These attempts remain separate from the final recovery failure.

**Failures retained and resolved separately.** The earlier `98f05fc`
probe rejected a valid settled PRP v2 goal suffix; `eaef0d5` fixed that
reader and the fresh follow-up passed. Later component cleanup failures
were traced by a scoped exception observer to the fixture adapter
rejecting directory downloads. A bounded owned-directory transfer with
exact-byte/mode preflight corrected the fixture; source and installed
strict-cleanup cases then passed. No production guard was relaxed. The
initial local integrated control-port run hit its 30-second embedded
Postgres startup hook before executing 59 cases; 18 other focused cases
passed. A bounded rerun used a fresh owned external Postgres fixture,
applied normal migrations before Vitest, and passed all 59 cases with
the original timeouts unchanged. Its container and data were removed;
the failed attempt remains retained.

The additional opt-in full Product E2E Vitest run is not green: 5,313
passed, seven failed and three skipped. An actual `abed921e12` archive
with the same dependencies, Node and IPC permissions reproduces all
seven failures with the same reasons. Five are unchanged
workflow-policy/profile-pin assertions, including Pi profile version 37
versus the test pin 35. Two database suites failed during embedded
Postgres startup before their assertions; semaphore exhaustion is
confirmed in the observer log. The observer passes its supported
external-Postgres rerun with original timeouts and source unchanged. The
controller-database client-kill/postmaster assertions remain unexecuted
after `initdb` bootstrap failure; no external override is supported. The
unit launcher stopped before its Node-test phase, which was then run
independently and passed 181/181. The original failed full run is
preserved. These results remain distinct from the passing focused checks
and normal repository CI. The first local Product E2E typecheck also
encountered stale compiled Runner declarations; a genuine package-local
TypeScript compile refreshed them and the unchanged check passed,
without a dependency install or producer rebuild.

Earlier [Daytona campaign
41108162900](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41108162900)
failed at sandbox creation before any agent, with the underlying
provider error unavailable. Its [sanitized
report](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-41108162900-2/index.html)
remains a `cleanup_failure`. Both old creation names are absent in the
current authenticated account, but the old CI account identity was not
retained, so account equivalence is unproven. The subsequent exact
`eaef0d5` source Product E2E attempt passed image/agent setup and the
initial project, then held the controller offline for 300,003.7 ms. Its
Mac supervisor failed owned-process inspection before B readiness; no
adoption passed. Full current-company lease/label checks, provider
deletion, exact-ID 404s and complete inventory confirmed cleanup of that
attempt. Its local server and owned Postgres stopped. The prior AWS
campaigns and database qualification VM were terminated with root
volumes removed.

The old admitted test Runner lacks the newer usage-basis marker
introduced on master. The integrated component B turns retained
unpriced, incomplete accounting obligations with `costAccountingPending:
true` and no settled charge. The compatibility-reader A turn used its
legacy receipt interpretation but likewise retained pending accounting
and no settlement timestamp. This proves obligation preservation, not a
whole-run accounting migration. Runner/receiver release ordering remains
governed by the usage owner's contract.

At native implementation `abed921e12d543b62f57a56435419c0dafb0bc33`,
Greptile was 5/5 with zero unresolved threads and CI completed with 54
successful checks and five expected skips. At `0b6afc499f`, Greptile
again passed 5/5 with zero unresolved threads, but CI ended with 51
successful checks, five skips and three failures. Server 9/12 fails a
deterministic managed-skills maintenance assertion newly inherited from
master `198218bf` in merge `c80e00ad`; that test is absent from the PR
head, and the storage owner has the explicit-StorageService fix in
#18357. Runner 2/2 passed 2,283 unit cases but its runner received a
shutdown signal during the long stream probe; its cancelled step and
aggregate failure are preserved. No blind retry was used. Current
`af9e2d157d` checks are pending; the matcher-only change passes 144
focused cases and Product E2E typecheck. Earlier scheduling-sensitive CI
failures and the interrupted unsharded local test run remain recorded in
the dated plan. CI runs the repository's normal test partitions. Final
verification does not claim Railway rollout, uninterrupted HTTP service
or whole-webserver filesystem loss.

</details>

## Risks

- The task-pointer repair passes its assembled regression. The first
live repair exposed pre-acceptance ordering and the fresh review exposed
a replay lock-order issue; both are fixed and pass real Postgres tests
at `0862062`. The following live attempt exposed the
verified-running-versus-suspended preparation gate. Its narrow fix
passes 91 focused cases at `64c0b746`. The next live case exposed
synthetic attachment IDs; `7a203274` fixes that field selection and
passes real Runner authentication. The subsequent queued continuation
exposed strict retirement maintenance and a false default-home change;
`39a4343` fixes both with real Runner/Postgres and fingerprint
regressions. The `39a4343` live continuation failed again despite green
CI. `283e05ffaa` repairs the actual native-observed admission ordering
and reproduces/fixes the JSONB skill-order fingerprint drift. Both pass
targeted real-Postgres regressions and the live active plus queued
paths. The definition 6 post-C browser navigation timed out before
admission. Explicit definition 7 now verifies native continuation
through the ordinary comment API; its strict post-C native gate failed
after a real dispatch and remains historical failed evidence. The final
fc68584 repair now passes its fresh strict 49-check Linux/Daytona
campaign; the prior failed grades remain unchanged. Browser reconnection
is handed to its own workstream with the original failed evidence. No
prior failed campaign is reclassified as passing.
- Incorrect checkpoint/source binding or stale ownership could duplicate
external work. Missing evidence remains a hold; existing receipt and
finalization owners keep uncertain effects unresolved.
- Recovery must retain maintenance writes after accepted results without
allowing a stale business turn to write. Real lock-wait and generation
tests cover that boundary.
- The current two-connection paired burst profile fails its absolute
drain gate in both baseline and candidate, despite passing relative load
gates and all correctness checks. A causal capacity diagnostic selected
three slots; the final controlled cap-three profiles pass unchanged
thresholds. Full application replacement and two-server overlap capacity
remain separate. There is no new streaming writer, pool or recurring
idle scan.
- The remote sandbox and Runner must survive the recovery window.
Provider auto-stop is a separate lifetime bound from reconnect grace;
the explicit qualification fixture uses a longer idle window.
- Workspace and provider backup availability remain external
dependencies. This PR does not certify whole-webserver filesystem loss,
uninterrupted HTTP service or a Railway rollout.

## Model Used

Implementation and initial verification used OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex;
the initial hosted snapshot was not exposed. The follow-up qualification
used three OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` workers coordinated through Codex, with
repository tools, code execution, CI and scoped test infrastructure.
Context-window size is not exposed.

Devin Foley cdf843371b fix(runner): build on Windows and add a Windows CI lane (#18250)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Paperclip Runner (`packages/paperclip-runner`) runs agent sessions
through a native Rust daemon, `paperclip-runnerd`
> - The daemon builds only for macOS and Linux. On Windows x64
(`x86_64-pc-windows-msvc`), the build stops with one compile error
> - No CI lane builds the daemon on Windows, so new Unix-only code can
break the Windows build again without notice
> - This pull request fixes the compile error and adds a Windows CI lane
for the Rust workspace. It is the first of a series of small pull
requests that port the Runner to Windows
> - The benefit is a Windows build that stays green. Each later pull
request in the series can then prove its Windows behavior in CI

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/issues/18142 and
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18144 port the server and
the development scripts to native Windows. That work does not touch the
Rust Runner.

**What happened?**
On Windows x64 with the pinned Rust 1.97.1 MSVC toolchain, `cargo build
--manifest-path packages/paperclip-runner/runner/Cargo.toml --locked
--workspace` fails with `error[E0599]: no method named inherited_command
found` in `process_supervisor.rs`. `VerifiedProcessLaunch::spawn_stdio`
calls `inherited_command`, but that method exists only on Linux and
macOS.

**Expected behavior**
The Runner workspace builds on Windows x64. Features that do not have a
Windows implementation yet fail with a clear error at run time. They do
not stop the build.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Use a Windows x64 host with Visual Studio 2022 Build Tools and
rustup.
2. Check out `master`.
3. Run `cargo build --manifest-path
packages/paperclip-runner/runner/Cargo.toml --locked --workspace`.

**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at a8e07500db

## What Changed

- `process_supervisor.rs`: compile `VerifiedProcessLaunch::spawn_stdio`
only on Linux and macOS, the same as `inherited_command`. Its only
caller, the stdio MCP proxy, already returns an explicit error on
non-Unix hosts. Linux and macOS behavior does not change.
- New workflow `.github/workflows/runner-windows.yml`: on
`windows-2025`, it installs the pinned toolchain and runs `cargo test
--release --locked --workspace --no-fail-fast` for changes to Runner
Rust inputs. Release mode matches the Linux lane (`test:rust`). In a
debug build on a hosted runner, one recovery test missed its 5-second
deadline. It is a standalone workflow because `pr.yml` runs
`pr-trusted.yml` from `master`, so a lane added there does not run on
the pull request that adds it. The lane has read-only permissions, uses
SHA-pinned actions, and keeps its own Rust cache that only `master`
writes.
- New policy test
`.github/scripts/tests/runner-windows-workflow.test.mjs` for the
workflow triggers, commands, skip list, permissions, and cache.
- 22 tests need verified process launch, which does not exist on Windows
yet. 21 of them are now `#[cfg_attr(windows, ignore = "verified launch
is not supported on Windows yet")]`. The attribute has no effect on
Linux or macOS. The last one is in `acpx_provider_backend.rs`, which is
a Grok profile identity source file. An attribute there would change the
Grok profile identity, so the Windows lane skips that test by exact name
(`--exact --skip`). The policy test fixes the skip list to that one
name. The next pull requests in the series implement verified launch and
remove the attributes and the skip.
- Two test fixtures used Unix-only absolute paths
(`/missing-provider-pack` and `/materialized/skills/...`). These are not
absolute on Windows. On Windows, the fixtures now use a drive-letter
path. The Unix fixtures do not change.

## Verification

- On Windows x64 (Rust 1.97.1 MSVC), the lane's exact release-mode test
command passes: 686 passed, 0 failed, 23 ignored, and 1 test skipped by
name. The test that timed out in a debug build on the hosted runner
takes 3.6 seconds in release mode and 29.5 seconds in debug mode on a
local machine. The ignored tests are the 21 Windows-only ignores and 2
tests that are ignored on every platform. A partial name does not match
with `--exact`, so the skip cannot hide other tests.
- `cargo fmt --manifest-path packages/paperclip-runner/runner/Cargo.toml
--all -- --check` passes.
- `node packages/paperclip-runner/scripts/generate-acpx-profiles.mjs
--check` and `node
packages/paperclip-runner/scripts/grok-profile-identity.mjs --check`
pass. The Grok profile identity does not change.
- `node --test .github/scripts/tests/runner-windows-workflow.test.mjs`
passes.
- The Linux and macOS lanes in this pull request's CI confirm that Unix
behavior does not change.
- The new "Runner Windows" check runs on this pull request.

## Risks

- Low risk. The Rust changes are `cfg` attributes and test fixtures.
Linux and macOS compile the same code as before.
- The new lane adds one Windows job to pull requests that change Runner
Rust inputs. A cold build takes longer than a cached build. After the
first `master` run, pull requests restore the cache.
- The 22 ignored or skipped tests do not run on Windows until verified
launch exists. They still run on Linux and macOS.

DottaandPaperclip 9f524ec1a7 fix: persist native Runner usage before transport acknowledgement (#18354)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent execution must preserve usage so Paperclip can price work and
enforce budgets.
> - Remote Runner execution can outlive its web receiver.
> - The receiver previously acknowledged Runner events before its later
usage recorder saved the accounting receipt.
> - This pull request saves required native usage receipts before that
transport acknowledgement.
> - A replacement receiver can accept the same retained report and
create one ledger charge.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Native remote Runner usage could leave its durable outbox before the web
receiver saved its accounting receipt. The later recorder required a
local receipt directory. A replacement web receiver could lose the only
remaining report when the database write failed.

**Expected behavior**

The Runner retains unaccepted structured usage. Postgres owns accepted
receipts. Repeated delivery preserves one receipt for each source report
and one charge for the run. Missing usage keeps accounting pending.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a supported built-in native remote Runner.
2. Make the receipt database insert fail after the provider reports
usage.
3. Replace the web receiver and its local directory.
4. Reconnect the same Runner and inspect the saved receipt and ledger.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The initial investigation used
`ebd05e9f4c88c66af7473db86bbaacfd1544aa0a`.

**Deployment mode**

A web server with a remote native Runner and shared Postgres.

Related work: #18327 owns output logs and provider traces. This change
has no dependency on its S3 export path. #18031 covers interrupted Codex
receipt recovery. #18005 covers legacy spool reads. #17516 covers Codex
stop-boundary retention.

## What Changed

- Add native producer receipt delivery through the existing Runner
callback before transport acknowledgement.
- Reuse `run_usage_receipts`, stable source sequences, and deterministic
report identities. Reject conflicting replay and retry a lost commit
response with the same receipt.
- Restore per-turn usage from structured receipt facts. Preserve
provider turns that share one PRP envelope turn.
- Bind retained warm transport callbacks to the current run authority
epoch, allowing old attachment control acknowledgements while preserving
accounting ownership.
- Persist Codex session baselines and cumulative totals in the existing
provider checkpoint. Mark qualified whole-run deltas, preserve them
across resume/restart/attachment, and leave old unmarked reports
incomplete and unpriced.
- Normalize the bounded final usage tail before the terminal event.
Retain later increases for explicit reconciliation, block further
attachment, and fail an affected successor without changing its
baseline.
- Complete runs from the accepted immutable receipt and its exact saved
rate-card amount; preserve existing live-budget enforcement.
- Skip the local receipt recorder for supported built-in native remote
Runner execution. Keep local, legacy, and external Dot/Muse behavior
unchanged.
- Keep pricing, reservations, ledger settlement, source fencing, and
budget holds with their existing owners.
- Put the actual Runner integration test in the existing Rust-cached
native test lane. Build before opening Postgres and give cold
compilation its own bounded budget.

## Verification

- Fresh Greptile review is 5/5 on
`e7376a50c8162770da1d581ecf25c8cffac64520`, with no unresolved findings.
Parent and independent peer review approved the final changes.
- Real PostgreSQL 18.6 and a real Rust Runner exercise failed receipt
insertion, receiver-directory loss, replay from the same producer, and
exactly one 25-cent ledger charge. The actual accounting spool path
stays absent. Optional logs/traces are disabled. The provider is
controlled; no paid request is made and the fixture never pre-saves the
expected receipt.
- Producer checks passed 32 usage/provider tests,37 terminal controls,
corrected completion, all 3 previously failing exit cases, and both full
transport goal-continuation cases. Rejected active-goal completion
retains its 120-token tail before failure. Baseline 100→successor150→33
duplicate old snapshots→old120 retains explicit incomplete
reconciliation evidence and positive budget exposure.
- Heartbeat executor checks passed 982/982. PostgreSQL tests preserve
exact 1.002 USD pricing, the 100.2-cent ledger amount, budget holds,
source takeover, partial/final receipts, cost-only corrections, equal
rate-card replay, and stale-completion interleaving. Newer incomplete
usage remains pending rather than settling an older snapshot.
- Runtime replay and strict usage-schema checks passed 2/2; generated
contracts and Rust formatting pass. Test-partition contracts passed
32/32.
- [Final combined-head
evidence](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18354#issuecomment-6531526158)
records full workspace typecheck/build and 41/41 accounting tests
against all five cloud PR heads, including this final accounting commit.
It includes commands and evidence limits.
- Exact-head CI is green: 53successful checks, 6intentional skips, and
the legacy Snyk status passed. Typecheck, build, Runner, server,
browser, and aggregate gates pass. Runner Vitest1/2 initially failed an
unchanged mocked Antigravity login fixture; its focused case passed
locally, then one unchanged job retry passed 131 files/1995 tests,
including all 11 Antigravity tests. The initial failed attempt remains
recorded in CI.

Initial local attempts exposed the host SysV semaphore limit and
corrected harness path, IPC readiness, and queue-counter defects. A
temporary test loader selected an existing POSIX-semaphore PostgreSQL
18.6 build without changing repository dependencies. An optional
expanded debug provider run was interrupted at its unrelated 8192-turn
rollover stress case; no full-file local pass is claimed. Required
failure cases were run directly, and the full Runner CI remains
required.

## Risks

- The guarantee covers built-in native remote Runner execution. Local
native execution, legacy adapters, external Dot/Muse execution, and
server-originated model calls retain their existing contracts.
- This does not provide traffic switching or general web-server
failover. The existing controller identity, checkpoint, and generation
gates still apply.
- The receipt JSON gains optional structured producer facts. No schema
migration or accounting S3 spool is added. Text output and raw trace
payloads are excluded.
- Codex accounting authority requires a Runner artifact built from this
provider baseline implementation and qualified by digest. Update
receivers and strict usage-schema readers before releasing that Runner;
PRP does not negotiate this payload field. Existing unmarked Codex
reports remain pending/unpriced. No deployed Runner artifact is claimed
fixed.
- Usage arriving beyond the bounded terminal tail may require manual
reconciliation or a fresh session. Its evidence remains in the existing
producer checkpoint/outbox; no adjustment ledger or recurring scan is
added.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` assisted with the implementation, tests, and
documentation through code execution and repository tools. The context
window size is unavailable.

DottaandPaperclip 36f4422389 build(runner): reduce development debug information (#18307)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents and contributors compile the Rust runner inside workspaces
with limited storage.
> - Default development builds include full debug information in many
test executables.
> - A controlled Linux build used 11.54 GiB with those defaults.
> - This pull request uses line-only debug information for the
development profile and its test profile.
> - The measured build used 4.35 GiB and retained source-line
information for backtraces.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The storage used by Rust development builds and default-profile test
builds in `packages/paperclip-runner`.

**Current behavior**

The workspace uses Cargo's full development debug information. A clean
Linux ARM64 comparison on source
`d2280108f56872a6052a5011649a73cef9aac206`, Rust 1.97.1, and four build
jobs used 11.54 GiB for the test build output. This can exceed a small
sandbox's entire disk allocation.

**Proposed behavior**

Set `[profile.dev] debug = "line-tables-only"` in the Rust workspace
manifest. The default test profile inherits it. The same comparison used
4.35 GiB, a 62.3% reduction. Incremental compilation stays enabled.
Release settings stay as they are.

**Reason and benefit**

Reduce build storage while preserving file names and line numbers in
backtraces. This avoids removing all debug information or changing which
tests compile.

**Breaking changes**

Default development builds omit type and local-variable debugger
information. Contributors can restore it with
`CARGO_PROFILE_DEV_DEBUG=2` and `CARGO_PROFILE_TEST_DEBUG=2`. There are
no product API changes.

Related: #18172 handles workspace export after disk exhaustion. #16500
proposes separate CI-only debug settings and test scheduling changes.
This PR sets the workspace default and remains compatible with explicit
environment overrides. Searches found no existing PR for
`line-tables-only`.

## What Changed

- Set the runner workspace development debug level to
`line-tables-only`.
- Document test-profile inheritance and the full-debug environment
overrides.

## Verification

- Prior controlled comparison: fresh target directory per setting,
shared dependency downloads outside timing, identical source and
lockfile, Rust/Cargo 1.97.1, Linux ARM64, four build jobs, and a six-GiB
memory limit. First compile library tests, then all test targets with
`cargo test --locked --offline -p paperclip-runner-core --no-run
durable::`. Both configurations compiled all 32 test executables.
Measure the target directory with `du -sk`, counting hard links once.
Full debug: 11.54 GiB. Line-only debug: 4.35 GiB. These numbers exclude
source, registry, image, and Node dependencies. The initial benchmark
setup omitted an external fixture; that run was discarded after adding
the fixture from the same source revision.
- Current manifest verification passed on Linux ARM64 / Rust 1.97.1 with
profile environment overrides unset: all 32 test executables compile,
all 98 durable unit tests pass, and development binaries build. Verbose
compiler commands show `-C debuginfo=line-tables-only` and an
incremental directory for both the library and its test harness. This
verifies test-profile inheritance from the manifest. The fresh target
directory is 4.36 GiB on the updated source. No new test asserts the
manifest text; validation uses the actual compiler and existing tests.
- `cargo metadata --manifest-path
packages/paperclip-runner/runner/Cargo.toml --locked --offline --no-deps
--format-version 1` and `git diff --check` pass.
- [CI passed on commit
`14d798139f5ff04414c6acbe15cec04e9b680a00`](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41059532543),
including the `ci / verify` aggregate. The separate native Docker Runner
check also passed. The final check inventory has 55 successful checks,
four expected skips, and the neutral review described below; the legacy
security status passed. Two first-attempt worker interruptions required
one targeted retry each: Runner Vitest 2/2 received a shutdown signal
during native integration verification, and chat 1/3 lost communication
with GitHub. The exact interruption causes remain unknown. The Runner
retry passed 132 files / 2,321 tests (two existing skips), then four
native integration files / 127 tests (five existing skips). The chat
retry and final aggregate passed. The successful retries establish
recovery on this commit; they do not establish the cause of either
original interruption.
- Greptile reviewed the current commit at 5/5 with no findings. The
separate Paperclip review execution did not complete and returned a
neutral check without an assessment. This is not counted as a completed
review.

## Risks

- Native debugger inspection of types and local variables needs a
full-debug override. Source-line backtraces remain available.
- Changing debug settings rebuilds affected artifacts. Existing
full-debug outputs may remain until the contributor cleans their target
directory.
- The measured savings are from Linux ARM64 and the cited source
revision. Other platforms and workloads can differ. This is a
build-profile change, not a sandbox capacity increase.

## Model Used

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