DottaandPaperclip 84fe89906d fix: complete native agent review handoffs (#13581)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native execution uses durable runs, issue locks, wake requests, and
typed tool authority
> - A child can finish with a native agent review request while its
original assignee stays responsible for the work
> - The reviewer then needs a bounded execution path that can inspect
the child, record one decision, and finish safely
> - Before this change, assignee-only gates rejected the reviewer or
left the parent waiting after the child review ended
> - This pull request adds typed reviewer admission, scoped reviewer
tools, durable wake and recovery handling, and parent continuation
evidence
> - The benefit is that native review handoffs complete without changing
child ownership or granting broad mutation access

Refs: #13574

**What happened?**

A native child run could report `needs_review` for an agent reviewer.
The reviewer wake then failed assignee and execution-lock checks. The
child remained in review and the parent remained waiting.

**Expected behavior**

The named reviewer should receive one durable wake. The reviewer should
inspect the child and resolve the exact review card. The child assignee
should stay unchanged. The parent should receive the recorded review
outcome after the child reaches its terminal state.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run a native task with a different named agent reviewer.
2. Keep the child assigned to its original worker.
3. Let the worker finish with a native completion review request.
4. Start the durable reviewer wake.
5. Resolve the review and finish the reviewer run.
6. Observe the child and parent state.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Base: `e926b1301`. PR head: `b31ad9ab8`. Live reviewer verification
source: `eea171aae`.

**Deployment mode**

Built from source.

**Installation method**

Built from source (pnpm build).

**Agent adapter(s) involved**

Not adapter-specific (core bug).

**Access context**

Both.

**Database mode**

Embedded PostgreSQL in the isolated live test fixtures.

## What Changed

- Add server-validated native review assignment facts.
- Admit only the exact company, issue, source run, decision, revision,
addressee, and resolver policy.
- Give reviewer runs a narrow set of Paperclip read and resolve tools.
File and shell access follow the configured agent and environment
policy, so reviewers can run tests.
- Separate server-owned reviewer instructions from untrusted persisted
review data. Escape the data boundary; retain server-enforced
authorization.
- Keep the child assignee unchanged. Atomically claim the reviewer run,
wake request, and issue execution lock. A competing lock prevents
provider startup.
- Require the exact running reviewer session and current issue lock to
resolve its assigned card. Reject missing, unrelated, or terminal
reviewer runs.
- Add durable reviewer wake, lock, stale-card, and abandoned-run
recovery handling.
- Prevent duplicate native wake dispatches during deferred admission and
recovery.
- Carry accepted or rejected child review outcomes into parent task
context and continuation evidence.
- Add focused server, runner, and native protocol coverage.
- Preserve upstream continuation rules. Add child review decisions as
separate evidence, while keeping real human answers in their own field.
- Return actionable completion validation feedback to both providers.
Permit a corrected completion after rejection. Keep strict terminal
acknowledgment validation.
- Apply exclusive shared-workspace locks to sandbox environments. Local
and SSH folders can run concurrently, including when old settings
request serialization.
- Repair test timing, native event parsing, and the review artifact
assertion. Allow a valid reject, correct, and accept review sequence.
Check the accepted card against its reviewer run and decision. Keep
polling within the existing deadline when review acceptance precedes the
parent wake projection; report a specific missing-continuation error at
timeout.
- Apply the ACPX pending-call limit to reserved finish/block calls, with
capacity-release and cancellation tests.

## Verification

- `pnpm build`: passed on `eea171aae`.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed on `eea171aae`.
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:unit`: 359 tests passed in 30 files on
`b31ad9ab8`; runner E2E typecheck also passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates`: passed.
- Focused DB review, reviewer authority, and prompt-boundary checks: 31
tests passed. They cover invalid reviewer runs, competing locks, atomic
admission, duplicate claims, and valid resolution.
- Heartbeat, workspace, and recovery checks: 30 tests passed.
- ACPX sidecar suite: 27 tests passed. Moving the capacity guard back
below reserved handling makes both new regression cases fail.
- Four focused live continuation checks passed on their first attempt at
`f15f55e0a`: answer updates scope (6/6 each on Codex and Claude) and
question tool guidance (12/12 each). These cases do not use the reviewer
prompt path changed afterward.
- Fresh Codex and Claude review-handoff checks passed all 29 native
checks each on their first attempt at `eea171aae`. Both runs received
the expected fixed prompt and completed cleanup. Only the six selected
live flows were tested; no full paid provider catalog run.
- The final commit only extracts the existing test-harness timeout
diagnostic into a shared helper and adds positive and negative coverage.
Removing the accepted-review guard makes two regression assertions fail;
restoring it passes all six timeout tests. Production runtime code,
prompts, deadlines, and grading criteria are unchanged by this final
commit.
- Deadline regressions: a valid continuation delayed 20 seconds succeeds
within its 30-second unit-test deadline; an absent wake returns a
specific candidate-failure diagnostic at that same deadline. Both
assertions failed before the fix. Production E2E deadlines remain
unchanged.
- Historical native failures remain recorded: Docker availability
failures; a valid reject/correct/accept sequence that the first-card
grader misread; and a test that rejected the gap between accepted child
review and parent wake projection. No failed result was regraded. The
latest tests use a protected reference to the pinned Docker image and
the unchanged artifact oracle and time limits.
- Full repository verification runs in GitHub CI. Local verification
uses the focused suites above, full build, and full typecheck. An
unchanged Codex shutdown timing test failed once in CI, passed in
isolation, and its full shard passed on the final commit without changes
to that test or its causal code path. The original failure is retained
in the verification record. Greptile reviewed `b31ad9ab8` at 5/5 with no
outstanding actionable findings. All review threads are resolved. All
current-head CI gates passed, including the isolated native runner
Docker build (55 successful checks; two skipped by the workflow).

## Risks

- Reviewer admission depends on exact persisted decision and interaction
bindings. A stale or changed card is rejected.
- Paperclip control-plane tools are limited to inspection and review
resolution. This is not a filesystem permission boundary; provider file
and shell access retain the configured policy.
- Deferred wake recovery changes dispatch receipt coalescing. A
scheduler regression could delay a continuation if the receipt state is
wrong.
- Parent review outcomes are evidence for the model. They do not grant
tool authority or change issue ownership.
- This change does not address legacy lease-hold handoff behavior.

> Roadmap review: native execution, review gates, and durable recovery
are existing roadmap capabilities. This PR completes a narrow
reliability path for those capabilities.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6-astra` with reasoning, tool use, and code execution.
OpenAI `gpt-5.6-luna` assisted with bounded implementation, review, and
journal work. Context window size is not exposed by this session. Live
test subjects use `gpt-5.6-sol` and `claude-sonnet-5`; they are not the
PR authors.

DottaandPaperclip e26d787928 Shorten continuation prompts and verify question tool guidance (#13574)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents must continue tasks using user answers without losing earlier
requirements or approval gates.
> - The wake prompt mixed human decisions with prior tool evidence and
repeated detailed question instructions.
> - Those instructions belong with the question tool, with a short
routing hint in the wake.
> - The Runner evals need to prove that answers, approvals, and
completed work survive later turns.
> - This PR shortens the prompts, separates authenticated answers, and
adds continuation tests with useful screenshots.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13517. This is a follow-up to the merged onboarding skill and
Runner E2E work. Related #13539 covers responses received while a run is
active; this PR preserves its cases and adds continuation coverage.
Existing continuation/recovery and question PRs were searched; none
covers this prompt/documentation and eval change.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The instructions sent when an agent continues a task, the native
human-input tool documentation, and the evidence captured by Runner
full-stack E2E.

**Current behavior**

The wake repeats a long question-tool guide. Human answers appear
alongside untrusted prior results. Screenshot capture can finish at DOM
load while the task still shows a spinner, even when backend behavior
checks pass.

**Proposed behavior**

Keep earlier requirements unless the user changes them. Treat
clarification as distinct from approval. Give authenticated human
responses a scoped field. Keep tool and agent results as evidence. Put
detailed question behavior in the tool descriptor and retain one routing
sentence in the native wake. Wait for the correct task and loaded
conversation before taking screenshots.

**Reason and benefit**

Reduce repeated prompt text and make authority boundaries clear. Test
that real question cards, later answers, approval gates, and completed
child tasks still work. Make screenshots useful for human review.

## What Changed

- Shorten shared continuation instructions for legacy and native
runners. Separate authenticated user responses from tool results and
agent summaries.
- Remove the detailed question guide from native wake prompts. Keep its
behavior in the canonical `request_human_input` descriptor and existing
payload schema. Regenerate semantic contracts and fixture hashes.
- Add five continuation cases across four local profiles. Add a
dedicated choice-then-text case for native Codex and native Claude. All
22 cells join the shared full E2E campaign.
- Cover revised scope, clarification without approval, hostile
instructions in a handoff file, and reuse of a completed child after
restart. Keep production instructions and fixed user facts.
- Capture continuation screenshots only when the intended task and
conversation have rendered. Add provider-free browser regressions for
loaders and wrong-task capture.
- Preserve current master’s extra tool and onboarding cases. The default
campaign now contains 166 cells; 35 manual everyday cells remain
separate.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed after replay on current master.
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:unit`: 340 passed. Harness typecheck passed.
- `PAPERCLIP_PLAYWRIGHT_CHANNEL=chrome pnpm
test:e2e:runner:browser-support`: 4 passed. These tests failed against
immediate screenshot capture and passed after the fix.
- Focused continuation and native-input tests: 36 passed locally. The
tool-authority suite could not initialize embedded PostgreSQL locally,
including one isolated retry; its 17 assertions did not run locally. The
full remote server shards passed on this PR commit.
- `pnpm build`: passed after replay on current master. `pnpm test:run`
was attempted locally but hit the same embedded PostgreSQL
initialization failure; the remaining local run was stopped after
complete remote CI passed. This is not claimed as a full local test
pass.
- [Full PR
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35232755685):
passed on `6a22128c14f4552d0613a6d9a25955db4a1ed02f`. All
server/chat/workspace/serialized shards, browser shards, Runner checks,
typecheck, build, canary and policy checks passed. The isolated native
Runner build and security checks also passed: 57 successful checks, with
two expected Storybook skips.
- Greptile reviewed the exact PR head at 5/5, with no findings or
unresolved review threads. The PR has no merge conflicts.
- [Live question-docs
report](https://pages.paperclip.ing/runner-e2e-question-docs-35227647794/):
3/3 passed at source `83dd132f2` before replay on master. Native Codex
and Claude each asked a choice, waited, asked a text question, and saved
both answers. Claude also passed a completed-child restart case. All
three native turns are checked for absence of the old question block.
- [Earlier continuation
report](https://pages.paperclip.ing/runner-e2e-continuation-35154943615/):
all five continuation cases passed on native Claude. The report retains
campaign and revision provenance and separately shows two unresolved
onboarding behavior failures.
- [Before/after prompt
report](https://pages.paperclip.ing/runner-prompt-comparison-20260917/):
full text, current recorded Claude inputs, and reproducible
reference-token counts. The controlled wake comparison removes 401
reference tokens; the net counted input reduction is 339 after charging
the larger tool description. These are text-size estimates, not measured
billing savings.

## Risks

- Prompt wording affects model behavior. Live results cover the stated
cases, not every provider or conversation. Legacy profiles are
registered but were not rerun for this change.
- The optional continuation field changes prompt data only; there is no
database migration or new production API.
- Authenticated answer projection excludes generated summaries and
agent-resolved interactions. It preserves the answer’s question or
approval scope.
- The screenshot guard can expose UI loading failures that earlier runs
hid. Backend grading alone no longer makes those captures valid.
- The two prior onboarding failures remain separate product issues: work
before acceptance and a missing saved plan. This PR does not claim the
entire onboarding suite passes.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with reasoning, repository tools, code execution,
and browser verification. The exact deployed model identifier and
context-window size are not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip d0b67bfe71 feat: queue approvals and answers during active runs (#13539)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Users guide running agents through messages, questions, and approval
cards.
> - Messages already wait in a queue when an agent is running.
> - Card responses did not appear in that queue. Some question answers
also steered a later run without a user click.
> - A fast approval could invalidate the agent's review handoff and
cause it to stop its own run.
> - This pull request gives card responses the same queue controls and
preserves the exact response during delivery.
> - Users can wait for completion or explicitly send the response with
Interrupt or Steer.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13517, which is merged. This PR targets master and adds queued
interaction responses on top of the onboarding changes. Related
continuation work: #10519 and #12866.

**What happened?**

Accepting a proposal while its source run was active left a saved
response outside the message queue. The agent could then lose its review
path, reassign the task, and cancel itself. Answers to older questions
could also steer another active turn without a click.

**Expected behavior**

Save the response immediately. Queue its continuation behind the active
run. Deliver it after completion, or when the user explicitly chooses
Interrupt or Steer. Preserve approval revisions and answer choices.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Let an agent publish a confirmation card while its run is still
active.
2. Accept the card before the agent finishes its review handoff.
3. Inspect the message queue and the task's next run.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on da8a3876c with the onboarding changes from #13517.

**Deployment mode**

Local development from source. The fix covers legacy adapters and native
Runner turns.

## What Changed

- Project resolved cards into the existing queue as immutable responses.
Keep answers and exact approval revisions.
- Require an explicit click to steer a response into a compatible native
turn. Use Interrupt when a fresh session is required.
- Preserve typed response context through interruption, cleanup waits,
and normal queue promotion. Keep the direct answer channel for a
provider blocked on its original question request.
- Accept the source run's review handoff after its card resolves. Reject
stale agent reassignment that would orphan a queued response.
- Add deterministic regression tests and an `accept-while-running` case
to the first-task suite. Require recorded timestamp overlap before that
case can pass.
- Keep the first-task skill name out of user-facing messages.

## Verification

- Red-green: the original route failed the queue regression; the changed
route passes it.
- Focused server/UI tests: 139 passed, including 64 queue-route tests.
- Runner harness unit tests: 314 passed.
- Server, UI, and Runner E2E typechecks passed. UI token gates passed.
- Full repository typecheck and build passed. Server typecheck passed
again after review fixes.
- Review regressions: 165 queue/reopen route tests, 53 wake admission
tests, and 18 run identity tests passed. Approval acknowledgement
recovery and both message/approval arrival orders are covered.
- Full local test run: 12,401 passed; three new admission regressions
ran against a cached pre-fix module. A fresh run of that entire suite
passed (53 tests). The complete CI suite passed on the final commit.
- Previous-head CI at `c28e2ef12`: 32 checks passed and 2 optional
Storybook checks skipped. Every server/workspace/browser shard, Runner
verification, build, typecheck/release registry, canary, policy, and
security check passed. Greptile: 5/5, no unresolved threads. Earlier
interrupted CI workers were replaced by this fresh complete run.
- After integrating the updated parent: 314 harness tests, 119
queue/admission tests, 44 onboarding/question-delivery tests, and 13
native recovery tests passed locally. Full repository typecheck and
build passed.
- Clarified the skill wording preference: routine replies describe the
action without announcing the internal skill; direct questions and
permission/security/execution disclosures remain truthful.
- The paid `accept-while-running` scenario is registered for all four
local first-task profiles. It has not been run against a model in this
change.

- Rebased onto the merged parent at `11921075a`; the resulting tree
exactly matches the locally verified integration tree. Final-head CI on
`b53054807` passed: 54 successful checks, 2 optional Storybook checks
skipped, no failed checks. Every new server/browser shard, aggregate
verify/e2e gate, Runner, typecheck, build, canary, and security check
passed on the first attempt. Greptile reviewed this exact head at 5/5
with no unresolved threads.

## Risks

- Responses now wait instead of implicitly steering another active turn.
A provider blocked on the original question still receives its answer
directly.
- Approval receipts cannot be edited, discarded, or reordered as
comments. This preserves the recorded decision.
- Interruption must still prove that the prior execution stopped. The
tests cover cleanup waits and duplicate delivery.
- The new paid overlap case can be unexercised if the model finishes
before the click lands. It cannot pass without evidence of overlap.
- No database migration is required. This repairs the existing approvals
and execution controls; it does not implement the roadmap's work-stream
queues.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex. The exact deployed model ID and
context-window size were not exposed in this session. Capabilities used:
agentic reasoning, repository inspection, code editing, terminal
commands, and test execution.

DottaandPaperclip 11921075a4 Add first-task onboarding skill and Runner E2E coverage (#13517)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The first task helps a new user define and approve useful work.
> - That workflow needs reusable instructions and tests against the
production experience.
> - Native Codex and Claude must load the assigned skill, including
after resume.
> - Maintainers need recorded conversations and precise failed checks to
judge regressions.
> - This pull request adds the first-task skill and a suite in the
shared Runner E2E harness.
> - It keeps behavior results separate from informational quality scores
and incomplete recordings.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The first onboarding task and the Runner E2E report used to review it.

**Current behavior**

Onboarding embeds its policy in a hidden brief. Native Codex drops the
skill-instructions setting at the Rust boundary. The shared E2E harness
has no onboarding suite or full conversation view.

**Proposed behavior**

Assign and invoke `/first-task` for the onboarding task. Send selected
Codex skills as structured protocol inputs. Run twelve scenarios across
legacy Codex, legacy Claude, native Codex, and native ACPX Claude.
Include all 48 cells in full campaigns. Show recorded chat, question and
approval cards, exact checks, instructions, and billing in the shared
dashboard.

**Reason and benefit**

Measure the real onboarding experience before changing prompts.
Distinguish infrastructure failures, behavior failures, and unexercised
journey steps.

**Breaking changes**

No database migration or production API change. First-task instructions
now live in an assigned skill. The user-edited persona is preserved; the
skill includes the maintainer-approved proposal-mode mapping and
saved-plan requirement.

Related: #11043 is earlier onboarding work. #13422 already fixes native
Claude model pinning, context delivery, and read permissions on master;
this branch includes those fixes through its base. The new Claude
recovery test supplements them.

## What Changed

- Extract and assign the first-task skill while retaining the production
greeting and opening question.
- Carry the Codex skill-instructions flag through thread start and
resume. Resolve explicit task skill references only against assigned
skills and send native skill inputs.
- Invoke an unambiguously selected assigned skill through Claude ACPX’s
native slash-command parser on initial and resumed turns, retaining the
entire task/wake envelope as its argument. Do not carry that invocation
into ordinary tasks.
- Restore the saved single-task proposal modes: confirmation card, or
saved plan with revision-targeted checkbox approval. Explicit plan
requests also require a saved plan.
- Add first-response and complete-journey cases with fixed user facts,
acceptance checkpoints, durable outcome checks, and accounting for child
runs.
- Fail the eval when choice questions have fewer than two real options.
Recognize planning documents without treating them as completed work.
- Add optional, bounded quality judging as explicit post-processing.
- Render full conversations and static interaction cards in the shared
report. Conversations start folded. Show original and regraded results
and incomplete journeys distinctly.
- Keep credential-persistence scanning outside the first-task behavioral
suite; retain public evidence redaction.
- Refresh generated capability references after the API-reference edits.
- Correct shared native question guidance and tool schemas: choices need
at least two meaningful options; open-ended questions use canonical text
fields with the required compatibility payload. Verify both formats
through real tool-authority persistence.
- Disable announcements automatically for every isolated Runner E2E
process and label the gallery environment/provider/target explicitly.
- Remove CI races in the GitHub connection browser test and native
session recovery test by waiting for the actual async work before
asserting its results.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/services/onboarding-first-task-assets.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-onboarding-first-task-routes.test.ts`: 19
passed.
- `pnpm --dir packages/paperclip-runner exec vitest run
src/drivers/acpx/runtime-host.test.ts
src/drivers/acpx/native-skill-prompt.test.ts
src/cli/acpx-runtime-sidecar.test.ts`: 70 passed. Native command
forwarding and the 1 MiB input boundary both failed before their fixes
and passed afterward. Coverage includes changed skills on reopen,
approval context, and an ordinary subsequent task.
- Runner E2E unit suite: 306 passed. Harness typecheck passed. The 64
first-task fixture and grader tests also pass.
- Full repository typecheck and build passed locally. Server typecheck
and Runner build passed again after the native-command change.
- Full GitHub Actions CI passed on `23e56447b`: all
server/workspace/browser shards, Runner verification, typecheck/release
registry, build, canary, policy, and Docker checks. Greptile reviewed
this exact head at 5/5 with no unresolved threads. The earlier broad
local run had database startup/timing failures that passed isolated
retries; the complete remote suite is green.
- Merge verification against current master: 312 harness tests and 13
native recovery tests passed. Regenerated semantic contracts and fixture
hashes pass their consistency check. Full local typecheck and build also
passed on the stacked queue branch. After merging the latest master and
preserving the GitHub setup timing regression in the split browser
suite, both focused GitHub browser tests passed. Three CI timing/startup
flakes passed local verification and one remote retry; all latest-head
checks are green.
- Real pinned Claude SDK and Claude ACP JSON-RPC probes against a local
mock API confirmed that `/skill-name` expands the assigned skill body
before the model request and retains the task arguments. A prose mention
does not. The probes made no paid model calls. The ACP probe used the
current first-task skill body and retained the wake arguments.
- [Full 48-case campaign and
report](https://pages.paperclip.ing/runner-e2e-first-task-35053063880/):
44 passed after three interrupted Codex cases completed in targeted
reruns. Original results, regrades, and all 51 executions remain in the
report provenance.
- [Claude campaign after the shared-question
fix](https://pages.paperclip.ing/runner-e2e-first-task-claude-35099525201/):
10/12 passed with zero single-option failures. All 12 recorded the
current assigned skill and corrected guidance. The failures exposed
skipped skill invocation and a missing saved plan. This PR adds native
command invocation and explicit saved-plan instructions; the subsequent
report below still shows behavior failures.
- [Fresh 12-case Claude
report](https://pages.paperclip.ing/runner-e2e-first-task-claude-35102737804/)
at `78452129e`: 10/12 pass after correcting two false proposal-matcher
failures. The recordings said “Here is the task I will create and
run/complete” in approval cards; the old matcher missed that word order.
Regression tests failed before the fix and pass after it. Original
results and offline regrade provenance remain linked. No agent rerun was
needed. Zero single-option-question failures; two behavior failures
remain: direct work before acceptance on a plain first message, and an
explicit plan request without a saved plan. Neither check was relaxed.
The follow-up `82087ac7e` fixes command-prefix size accounting;
`94aefb1f3` fixes only that proposal matcher.
- Report browser checks confirm folded conversations, rendered cards,
explicit Local/Daytona labels, and no page errors. The published-object
audit scanned 1,306 text files across 2,154 objects with no
credential-format findings or prohibited files. Image pixels and unknown
token formats are outside that scan.

## Risks

- Model behavior is nondeterministic. One campaign is evidence, not a
guarantee. The two remaining Claude behavior failures are visible in the
report and require further product work; this PR does not claim all
onboarding scenarios pass.
- The suite checks persisted Paperclip effects. It cannot prove the
absence of arbitrary external effects.
- Historical recordings can miss later journey steps. These remain
incomplete, never passes.
- Native profiles switch runtime after the production onboarding wizard
because it does not yet expose a native option.
- Quality scores are informational and cannot override behavioral
failures.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 9fd2e50310 feat: create company skills from runner tasks (#13538)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Runner gives agents tools to change company resources.
> - Users need agents to save reusable skills during a task.
> - A saved skill needs a visible result that users can inspect and
edit.
> - This pull request adds `create_skill` and a task feed card linked to
Skill Studio.
> - Users can open the saved skill from the task and edit the same
resource.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Runner tools, company skill storage, task feed, and Skill Studio.

**Problem or motivation**

The Runner has no dedicated tool to create a company skill. A user
cannot follow a creation result from the task feed to the saved skill.

**Proposed solution**

Add a company-scoped `create_skill` tool. Save the skill with the
existing company policy. Add one creation card to the task. Open a named
sidebar tab from that card. Let the user open the same skill in Skill
Studio.

**Alternatives considered**

An agent can write a local file, but that file is not a company skill. A
second document copy in the task would become stale after a Studio edit.
The sidebar therefore reads the saved skill directly.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends the shipped Skills Manager, Skill Studio, and Skills Store
milestone. The maintainer requested and approved this scope. Search
found no duplicate `create_skill` PR or issue. Related UI validation
work: #8715. This PR does not change that validation display.

## What Changed

- Add the real Runner tool, its contract, and its mock implementation.
- Validate the complete SKILL.md and derive company, task, agent, and
run identity from authentication.
- Apply the existing company skill policy. Do not assign the skill to an
agent.
- Make keyed retries return one skill and one creation event. Reject
conflicting retries.
- Make concurrent file creation safe. Never replace an existing
published skill during creation.
- Add a creation card, a named sidebar tab, and an Open in Skill Studio
action.
- Show saved Studio edits when the user returns to the task.
- Add storage, policy, mode, retry, UI, and Product E2E tests. Document
the tool.
- Fix deleted-name reuse, onboarding panel persistence, immediate feed
refresh, and mock validation parity from review.
- Serialize Studio file edits and renames with skill deletion and
recreation. Reject stale editor requests before they can change a
replacement skill.
- Generate the standalone mock parser and validator from the production
contract. Use portable UUIDs so the browser scenario bundle builds.

## Verification

- All latest-head PR checks pass on `145dd76a5`, including all server
shards, browser E2E, Runner verification, build, typecheck, and release
dry run. Greptile: 5/5 with no open findings. An interrupted CI runner
was retried successfully.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed.
- `pnpm build`: passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates`: passed.
- Review regressions: 73 storage tests, 6 real API tests, 63 UI tests,
and 61 semantic runtime tests passed. Parser synchronization passed.
- CI exposed existing fire-and-forget Sentry test races. Reproduced the
resumption race locally, then synchronized the related sweep and
finalizer assertions on the actual report; all 27 tests across the three
affected files pass.
- Runner scenario browser build and strict content-security-policy
check: passed.
- Runner suite: 2,012 tests passed; 10 skipped.
- `pnpm test:run`: the general-server batch had 12,416 passes and two
failures. The old tool-count assertion was fixed; all 16 authority tests
then passed. The chat webhook test had a socket error; it passed four
isolated reruns.
- Both workspace test groups passed. The isolated route suites
completed. Two socket failures in the initial route batches passed on
individual reruns; all remaining 61 files passed.
- Product E2E `create-skill-studio`: passed with local Codex and local
ACPX Claude.
- Manual browser test: submit a task, observe the real tool call and
creation card, open the sidebar, edit in Studio, save, and return. The
task reached Done. The saved second revision and sidebar tab survived a
server restart.
- The new companion headless Runner Eval passed. Companion coverage PR:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-evals/pull/23. Daytona was not
run because no immutable runner image was configured.

## Risks

- Database writes and local file writes cannot share one transaction.
Recovery accepts only an exact file-for-file retry after a database
rollback. Conflicting files remain untouched.
- The sidebar displays the current skill. The feed card remains the
historical creation receipt.
- No database migration, dependency, or workflow change is included.
- Remote Daytona behavior still needs a run with a configured immutable
image.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 (`gpt-6-astra`) handled design, integration, review, and
browser verification. OpenAI `gpt-5.6-luna` assisted with bounded
implementation and eval work. Both used code execution and tool access.
The host did not expose the context window size.

DottaandPaperclip 18989a9e73 docs: add eval guide, authoring skills, and public history hub (#13535)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Its evaluations test both the Runner and complete product workflows.
> - The guides and run histories are in separate places.
> - The shared Evalbook viewer can make the test boundary unclear.
> - This pull request names the two families and adds a guide, authoring
skills, and a public hub.
> - Contributors can choose the correct test and inspect its history.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Issue type**

Missing documentation.

**Where is the issue?**

Runner and Product E2E evaluation guides, case-authoring procedures, and
public result navigation.

**What's wrong?**

There is no single entry point. A report format can be mistaken for an
execution boundary. There are no dedicated case-authoring skills for
these two families.

**Suggested fix**

Add a guide and three skills. Link both existing histories from a public
hub. Keep existing campaign URLs and grading unchanged.

## What Changed

- Add `doc/evals.md` and links from existing guides.
- Add the `paperclip-evals`, `add-runner-eval`, and
`add-product-e2e-eval` skills. Install copies in
`~/paperclipai/.agents/skills`.
- Add a static hub builder that reads the existing public history feeds.
- Show a dated snapshot for each family. Label partial campaigns and
preserve measurement dates across report refreshes.
- Document publication and refresh commands for
https://pages.paperclip.ing/evals/.

## Verification

- Seven Python summary tests pass: `python3 -m unittest discover -s
scripts/evals-hub -p 'test_*.py'`. Run these checks directly; this PR
does not modify package scripts.
- All three skills pass the skill-creator `quick_validate.py` check with
`/usr/bin/python3`.
- Build tested with saved history fixtures and the live public feeds.
- Desktop and mobile browser checks pass. The mobile page has no
horizontal overflow.
- Published https://pages.paperclip.ing/evals/. Browser check: HTTP 200,
no page errors, all eight links return HTTP 200, no mobile overflow.
- Independent skill exercises found the existing Notion-decline case and
a direct Runner permission-denial case. Roster validation with an
explicit run ID passes.
- Missing refresh measurement date: regression fails before the fix and
passes after it.
- `git diff --check` passes.
- No paid evals were run for this documentation and reporting change.
The preceding head passed typecheck, build, server/workspace tests,
runner verification, browser E2E, and the canary dry run. Checks for the
latest commit are pending. Local repository-wide typecheck, test, and
build were not repeated because no product code changed.

## Risks

The hub is a dated static snapshot. It can lag behind the linked
histories until an operator refreshes it. A changed history schema stops
the build. Existing archives and grades are not modified. The published
guide link is pinned to the reviewed commit so branch deletion cannot
break it. Later builds can use master.

## Model Used

OpenAI gpt-6-astra for implementation and review. OpenAI gpt-5.6-luna
for documentation and independent skill checks. Both used repository
tools and code execution. Context window sizes are not exposed by this
session.

4577d10029 fix: prepare everyday artifact and Codex sandbox prerequisites in CI (#13516)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The runner E2E workflow executes paid everyday workflow stories on
disposable CI hosts
> - The everyday artifact oracle requires a pinned Python image and
fails closed when it is absent
> - Fresh CI hosts did not prepare this image before the paid cell, so
project stories failed during preflight
> - This pull request prepares and verifies the pinned image before the
affected everyday cells
> - The benefit is reliable artifact isolation checks on fresh trusted
CI hosts

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Fresh trusted CI runners did not have the pinned Python artifact oracle
image.

**Expected behavior:**

The workflow prepares and verifies the pinned image before an everyday
project story starts.

**Steps to reproduce:**

Run an everyday project story on a fresh CI host without the image
cached. The `everyday-artifact.py --preflight` check fails before task
creation.

**Paperclip version or commit:**

`master` at `bd51f157e`.

**Deployment mode:**

Other: GitHub Actions trusted paid workflow.

## What Changed

- Add a matrix-gated CI step for everyday project and recovery cells.
- Check Docker, pull the fixed digest with bounded timeouts, and verify
the exact repo digest.
- Apply the existing Codex sandbox preparation to both native Codex
profiles, including the mini profile.
- Add workflow security assertions for ordering, condition, digest,
timeouts, and secret isolation.
- Document that CI prepares the pinned oracle image.
- Check provisioning eligibility against every catalog cell, and scope
the Daytona registry inspection assertion to the Daytona image job.

## Verification

- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:unit` — 24 files and 222 tests passed.
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run --config tests/runner-e2e/vitest.config.ts
workflow-security.test.ts` — 10 tests passed.
- Python artifact oracle calibration — 12/12 passed.
- `git diff --check` — passed.

## Risks

Low risk. The image step runs only for everyday cells that execute the
artifact preflight. The Codex setup now covers both native Codex
profiles. It uses a fixed public image digest and has no provider
credentials.

## Model Used

OpenAI gpt-5.6-luna (implementation subagent) and gpt-6-astra (review
fixes and orchestration), using code execution and repository tools.
Context window size is not exposed by this session.

cceeb0aa66 test(runner): add everyday workflow evaluation harness (#13474)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The native runner must support project work, delegation, hiring, and
service access.
> - Browser tests exposed lost connection access, rejected helper
events, and stalled recovery.
> - Some eval failures also came from incorrect fixtures and decision
controls.
> - This pull request fixes those paths and adds eight everyday workflow
stories.
> - The tests retain observed failures and verify delivered files
independently.
> - The benefit is repeatable evidence for common user tasks and their
remaining gaps.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related work: #13404 contains earlier workflow fixes. #13300 and #13470
changed the CI contracts used by the harness security tests. Merged
companion:
[paperclip-evals#22](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-evals/pull/22).

**What happened?**

Native ACPX sessions did not receive the assigned connection gateway.
Codex helper events could arrive before their spawn receipt and fail
thread validation. A parent continuation could take a shared workspace
before its child retried. A failed native continuation could leave the
task status without a clear recovery blocker. The eval harness also
confused tool approvals with new connection requests and could reject a
valid delegated download.

**Expected behavior**

Keep assigned gateway access and its approval checks. Verify helper
lineage before accepting helper progress. Let a waiting child proceed
before automatic parent recovery. Preserve a failed task's recovery
ownership. Grade the actual requested workflow and its delivered files.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the everyday workflow suite with the native Codex and Claude
profiles. Exercise service approval, connection refusal, delegated
project work, and teammate reuse. The commands and case requirements are
in `tests/runner-e2e/EVERYDAY-WORKFLOWS.md`. Use `pnpm
test:runner-recovery` for controlled crash and replacement cases.

## What Changed

- Pass the scoped connection gateway binding through the native ACPX
host and sidecar.
- Recognize Codex helper lineage from parent metadata and spawn
receipts. Verify early helper events with `thread/read`. Keep helper
events separate from root completion authority.
- Guide agents to use persistent hiring, child tasks, dependency
records, and a blocked handoff while waiting for a child.
- Defer automatic parent recovery while a child has an active execution
path in the same shared workspace. Allow parent recovery when the child
needs review.
- Record Blocked status and recovery evidence when a failed native
continuation needs reconciliation, including existing active or
escalated incidents. Preserve their owner and retry budget.
- Add eight browser-driven workflow cases. Use real decision controls,
explicit child feedback delivery, managed hiring credentials, and
independent ZIP checks inside a bounded Docker sandbox. Verify sandbox
availability before task creation. Record screenshot SHA-256 at capture.
- Keep runner crash probes in controlled recovery tests. Preserve the
original failure when cleanup also fails.
- Display missing accounting and replay revisions as unavailable. Align
harness security assertions with the approved CI changes.
- Make the channel-rejection browser fixture bind its file after the
send captures its payload. This prevents live refresh from removing the
file before the simulated race.

## Verification

- Full workspace `pnpm -r typecheck` passed after merging current
master.
- Runner E2E typecheck passed. Harness unit tests passed: 216/216.
- Wake-queue database tests passed: 55/55. The two added
existing-incident tests failed before the fix and pass after it.
- Docker artifact calibration passed: 12/12. Host-file and host-loopback
isolation tests failed before the fix and pass after it. Read-only
delivery and output limits are also verified.
- Full `pnpm build` passed. Targeted recovery tests passed: 83/83.
- The channel-rejection browser test passed five consecutive runs after
fixing the fixture race found in CI.
- Local general-server (12,351 tests), UI (6,250), CLI (485), and
workspace package groups passed. The monolithic run stopped at an
unchanged lock-heartbeat fixture race; the isolated workspace group
passed on rerun (shared: 747/747). A separate local serialized run
passed 97 files before two socket errors in the unchanged issue-list
route suite; that suite passed 15/15 on isolated rerun. These local full
commands did not finish uninterrupted; the complete CI matrix below
covers the remaining suites.
- Final head `0fb293733fe307be7e6667ae8f1364077d0c6455`: **34 successful
checks, 2 expected skips**, including every server/workspace shard,
browser shard, native runner verification, build, and typecheck. [Final
CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34989136700).
- Greptile reviewed this exact head at **5/5**; all review threads are
resolved. Both Superagent security checks are successful.
- ACPX credential-boundary tests passed: 118/118. Superagent accepted
the runner/sidecar versus provider-environment trace and cleared its
finding.
- The latest paid local campaign on source
`f6a2fdf7ac2af859826a2ae627ff4125a5478529` passed 22/24 cases: Sol 8/8,
Claude 7/8, Mini 7/8. These results predate the merge with current
master.
- The two remaining failures are in `hire-reuse`: Claude exceeded the
attempt deadline during final review; Mini made invalid deliverable tool
calls and remained Blocked.
- Six Daytona cases were not run because the matching immutable runner
image was unavailable. This PR does not claim new remote model results.

## Risks

The changes affect connection admission, helper identity, and recovery
scheduling. Assigned gateway grants and user approval still govern
service calls. The workspace admission gate still exists; the broader
folder-sync design is separate work. Provider behavior can still cause
the two recorded hiring failures. No database migration is required.
Paid cases are opt-in and have bounded attempt deadlines. Project
stories now require Docker and the documented pinned Python image on the
harness host.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6-astra` performed implementation, diagnosis, and
substantive review. OpenAI `gpt-5.6-luna` assisted with verification, PR
preparation, and review tracking. Both used repository tools and code
execution. Context-window sizes were not recorded.

DottaandPaperclip ab15aff390 feat: add experimental persistent agent chat (#13284)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Conversations must use the same tasks, controls, and execution
history.
> - Users need an ongoing chat with an agent without managing task
properties.
> - Agents should clarify and plan work, then hand execution to assigned
project tasks.
> - This pull request combines the reviewed Agent Chat stack for one
squash merge.
> - The benefit is persistent conversation with normal task governance
and shared UI.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Task lifecycle, agent runtime tools, shared task UI, and browser/paid
runner tests.

**Problem or motivation**

Users need one persistent conversation with each agent. A separate chat
store or renderer would duplicate task behavior and bypass existing
controls.

**Proposed solution**

Use a task-backed chat per company, user, and agent. Reuse the task
composer and transcript. Clarify and plan in chat, then create assigned
project tasks with the relevant plan. Keep Agent Chat behind its own
disabled-by-default experimental setting.

**Roadmap alignment**

This implements the task-backed direction in [CEO
Chat](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/master/ROADMAP.md#-ceo-chat).
Related proposals: #2504 and #9693. Related request: #7981. The
maintainer requested one squash merge of the complete stack.

Consolidates the reviewed runtime
[#13281](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13281), backend
[#13282](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13282), and UI
[#13283](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13283) layers
with this PR's E2E coverage. All four layers passed CI and received
Greptile 5/5 before consolidation. This PR targets master and includes
the complete feature.

## What Changed

- Add personal canonical chat tasks with ordinary company visibility,
immutable identity, idempotent first sends, and an idle waiting state.
- Process `/new` in queue order. Preserve history, release a chat pause,
and fence old provider context and delayed writes.
- Keep chat lifecycle rules across recovery, finalization, assignment,
task lists, and rollups.
- Support research and plan revision in chat. Hand plans to ordinary
assigned project tasks before execution starts. Reject new chat
subtasks.
- Add repository-aware project creation and discovery tools, including
multiple repository IDs and GitHub URLs, authorization, idempotency, and
durable project-created cards.
- Reuse task UI components for chat, with starred/recent agent
navigation and a separate `enableAgentChat` experimental flag.
- Add deterministic browser tests and 24 paid chat cells across four
Codex/Claude profiles, with validated reports and screenshots.
- Integrate current master recovery, controller lease, queued-message,
and task UI changes. Gate chat interruption and deferred promotion on
ownership/feature policy. Guarantee lease renewal and active controls
are stopped even if teardown fails.
- Preserve master's migration 0273 and generate chat migration 0274 with
idempotent replay for development databases.

## Verification

- Prior exact heads of all four PRs passed Linux CI, including build,
typecheck, general/serialized tests, and browser E2E. Each had Greptile
5/5 and no unresolved findings.
- Integrated local verification passed: full repository typecheck and
production build, Storybook build, token gates, 340 focused UI tests,
all 20 deterministic chat browser tests, two migration replay tests, 88
focused chat/queue/native/controller tests, and provider/session
regressions including real lease expiry. These include the three
lifecycle regressions for the final admission/teardown fixes; server
typecheck also passes. Current head
`1268eda16cc2af892055917e7292f068820be135` has Greptile 5/5 with no
unresolved findings and passing security scans. All final-head CI gates
passed: build, full Runner verification, typecheck/release registry,
canary, all general/serialized test shards, and all browser E2E shards
([CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34696739927)).
Local PostgreSQL startup contention required serialized retries; skipped
fixtures do not count as passing coverage.
- The earlier paid campaign passed all 24 chat cells and retained 32

[report](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-34648511170-1/index.html?report=agent-chat#suite-agent-chat).
It tested `abacbdfd2f660709ec37312cdb758284c8399d04`; it is prior
evidence, not a paid run of this integrated head.
- Manual check: enable Agent Chat in Experimental settings, open an
agent, clarify and revise a plan, then hand off to an assigned project
task. Stop a reply, send `/new`, and verify fresh context with retained
history. Disable the setting and verify agent shortcuts/new chat turns
are blocked.

## Risks

- Queue/session integration can affect retries and delayed writes. Tests
cover ownership, cancellation, reset boundaries, idle recovery, and
ordinary task behavior.
- Migration 0274 adds conversation fields and constraints. Replay is
idempotent and preserves existing development chat history.
- This combines the previously reviewed stack at the maintainer's
request. Agent Chat remains off by default and is separate from
Conference Room.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 Astra (`gpt-6-astra`), with reasoning, code
execution, browser tools, and parallel review. The exact context-window
size is not exposed in this session. Codex and Claude also ran as test
subjects in the linked paid campaign.

DottaandPaperclip e200104727 feat: review connection actions from tasks (#13063)
Bring governed connection reviews into task history and composer approvals. Share resolution with Connections, add scoped remembered permissions, and resume agents through durable outcome receipts.

Keep cards compact, collapse raw results, isolate untrusted provider output, bound continuation payloads, and reconcile missed live events. Add Storybook coverage, browser journeys, and service regression tests.

Verification: all PR CI gates passed, Greptile 5/5, security scans passed, five connection-review browser journeys passed, and real native Codex approval/continuation was verified against the local MCP fixture.

Dotta 05735b3d87 fix(ui): show continuation actions in confirmation receipts (#12939)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Task interactions let an operator approve completion or ask an agent
to continue.
> - The server stores the continue choice as a rejected completion
request so it can resume the same task.
> - The task feed ignored the configured action label and showed the
generic text `Declined request`.
> - The generic text made a successful three-turn continuation look like
a failed request.
> - This pull request keeps the server state and shows the action that
the operator selected.
> - The benefit is an accurate task feed for legacy Codex and Runner
Codex.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A rejected confirmation always appeared as `Declined request`. The feed
did not use a custom rejection action such as `Continue work`.

**Expected behavior**

The resolved receipt and success toast must show the selected custom
action. Confirmations without a custom action must keep the current
fallback text.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a completion confirmation with `rejectLabel` set to `Continue
work`.
2. Select `Continue work` and enter a continuation note.
3. Open the completed task feed.
4. Observe that the old UI says `Declined request` instead of the
selected action.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`539c9212f4b98e37643f5a8e3b603f1b5845b5d7`

**Deployment mode**

GitHub Actions Runner E2E with warm Daytona sandboxes.

## What Changed

- Show `Selected “Continue work”` when a rejected confirmation has that
custom action label.
- Use the same action-aware text in the success toast.
- Keep `Declined request` as the fallback for confirmations without a
custom rejection label.
- Make the legacy warm-turn prompt ask if the task is ready to complete.
- Require both warm Daytona matrix cells to show two continuation
receipts and no generic decline receipt.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/pages/IssueDetail.test.tsx
ui/src/lib/issue-thread-interactions.test.ts

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- Paid `daytona-warm-continuity` campaign: both three-turn cells passed
on attempt 1 ([workflow
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34052047946));
the downloaded evidence aggregates locally as 2/2. The trusted report
job did not publish because default branch `pnpm-lock.yaml` was
transiently behind its manifest.
- `pnpm typecheck` reached an unrelated `plugin-workspace-diff`
dependency type error after the current master manifest and lockfile
resolved different versions. The focused UI and runner checks pass.

## Risks

- Low risk. The database state and continuation behavior do not change.
- A custom rejection label now appears in resolved receipts and success
toasts.
- The paid warm Daytona suite has a stricter browser assertion.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, with reasoning, tool use, and code execution.

Dotta 9ecd93a54d test(e2e): link runner campaign summaries (#12927)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Paperclip uses a paid full-stack campaign to verify runner behavior
across providers and environments.
> - The campaign already creates an interactive report, workflow logs,
and retained evidence artifacts.
> - The merge job summary shows result totals but does not link to those
resources.
> - Reviewers must search several workflow jobs and artifacts to find
the executed cells.
> - This pull request adds direct and safe links to the exact campaign,
each cell, the workflow logs, and the artifacts.
> - The benefit is that a reviewer can inspect a result from the Actions
summary with one click.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

This improves the `Merge and enforce campaign result` summary in the
`Runner Full-Stack E2E` workflow.

**Subsystem affected**

The runner E2E report generator and its GitHub Actions workflow are
affected.

**Current behavior**

The summary lists each selected cell and its result. It does not link to
the published campaign report, the workflow logs, or the evidence
artifacts.

**Proposed behavior**

The summary includes a `View results` section. It links to the exact
immutable campaign report, the workflow logs, and the artifacts. Each
cell name links to its stable section in the campaign report.

**Reason and benefit**

The current summary does not show reviewers where to inspect the run.
Direct links make the result evidence discoverable without manual URL
construction or artifact searches.

**Breaking changes**

None. This change only adds links and stable HTML anchors to existing
report output.

**Additional context**

Related: #12904. The cited successful campaign is [run
34026735033](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34026735033).

## What Changed

- Add a safe URL builder for public campaign, workflow, and artifact
links.
- Add a `View results` section to the GitHub Actions campaign summary.
- Link each summary table cell to its exact section in the immutable
campaign report.
- Add stable execution anchors to the generated dashboard.
- Reject non-HTTPS, credential-bearing, malformed, and ambiguous link
destinations.
- Document the new links and their retention or publication timing.

## Verification

- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:unit` — 116 tests passed.
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm typecheck` — passed, including migration safety.
- `pnpm build` — passed.
- `pnpm exec prettier --check ...` for all changed files — passed.
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD` — passed.
- The full local server suite also ran. One unrelated macOS
workspace-runtime file passed 157 tests and failed 4 existing path and
port assumptions. Two failures compare `/var` with `/private/var`. Two
failures cannot reserve a port outside a hard-coded range. This PR does
not change that file or its dependencies.

## Risks

- The immutable campaign link becomes available after the history
publisher completes. The workflow and artifact links remain available
while publication runs.
- The artifact link requires GitHub access and follows the existing
30-day retention period.
- Invalid configured URLs are omitted instead of being rendered into the
summary.

discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap
with planned core work may need to be redirected — check the roadmap
first. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex desktop agent with GPT-5. The runtime does not expose the
context-window size. The agent used repository inspection, agentic
reasoning, code execution, and GitHub CLI tools.

Dotta 0c1e7504c0 fix(runner): persist warm Daytona workspaces across turns (#12904)
## Thinking Path

> - Daytona preserves a stopped sandbox filesystem, but deleting or
replacing a sandbox removes its only remote copy.
> - Warm reuse therefore improves latency but cannot be Paperclip's
durability boundary.
> - The host execution workspace must remain authoritative after every
successful turn, while same-run recovery must avoid overwriting
unexported remote work.
> - Result proposal, workspace export/merge, and terminal completion
need a durable, replayable ordering so a crash never starts a duplicate
provider turn.
> - A paid browser acceptance suite must exercise both legacy Codex and
Runner Codex for three real turns on one continuously warm Daytona
sandbox.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #12901.

Runner Codex did not previously export successful Daytona workspace
changes back to the authoritative host workspace. That made warm reuse
depend on Daytona's remote filesystem and left deleted/replacement
sandboxes without a reliable reconstruction path. The existing paid
fixture also lacked a focused three-turn continuity case for both Codex
adapters.

## What Changed

- Persist versioned, atomic native workspace-sync descriptors and
durable seeds in `PAPERCLIP_HOME`, without credentials or a database
migration.
- Classify fresh, warm, replacement, and same-run-recovery workspace
preparation explicitly; ambiguous lease/root/digest evidence fails
closed.
- Finalize native workspace export/merge after semantic result proposal
and before run completion, with idempotent replay that never submits a
second provider turn.
- Surface legacy Codex workspace restoration failures instead of masking
them, while preserving an earlier provider error when both fail.
- Keep healthy reusable Daytona leases warm for legacy and native
adapters, stamp finalized workspace generations, and retain existing
cleanup behavior for per-turn or unhealthy leases.
- Preserve Runner Codex's provider process/session across warm turns,
including bounded post-terminal tail draining and exact authority
rotation.
- Add the exact paid `daytona-warm-continuity` matrix:
  - `legacy-codex × daytona × warm-three-turn`
  - `runner-codex × daytona × warm-three-turn`
- Drive all three turns through the browser, verify ordered file
continuity and stable lease/workspace/runtime identities, capture
per-turn timings, and delete the sandbox immediately after assertions.
- Document `pnpm test:e2e:runner -- --suite daytona-warm-continuity`; no
package script was added.

## Verification

- `pnpm typecheck` — passed, including migration safety (no migration
added)
- Focused server/runner Vitest coverage — 144 passed
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:unit` — 114 passed
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:typecheck` — passed
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner test:codex` — 66 passed,
1 helper ignored
- `native-session-executor.test.ts` — 139 passed, including safe
fail-closed cleanup after remote runner identity capture failure
- Paid local browser acceptance, exact post-rebase Linux/amd64 runner
binary:
- Runner Codex — passed in 1.7m; 3 runs; lease outcomes `created,
resumed, resumed`; 10/10 matchers; cleanup passed
- Legacy Codex — passed in 2.7m; 3 runs; lease outcomes `created,
resumed, resumed`; 10/10 matchers; cleanup passed
- [Protected paid GitHub Actions
campaign](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34026735033)
against `7da42a91b95fa7fb2df126668ef7e37afb3b2b9d` — passed 2/2:
- Runner Codex — 3 runs; lease outcomes `created, resumed, resumed`;
evidence and cleanup passed
- Legacy Codex — 3 runs; lease outcomes `created, resumed, resumed`;
evidence and cleanup passed
  - Merge/enforcement, S3 history, and Pages publication jobs passed
- Paid result artifacts were scanned for both provider credentials;
neither secret was present.
- Current PR checks — 31 passed, 1 expected Storybook skip; Greptile
5/5; Superagent security scan passed
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD` — passed
- Confirmed no `package.json`, lockfile, migration, or SQL changes.

## Risks

- Workspace synchronization now sits on the terminal-success path, so a
remote export failure deliberately prevents false success. Retryable
state retains its lease/seed; loss of the only unexported remote copy
fails closed.
- Warm provider reuse has strict identity and quiescence checks.
Mismatched or ambiguous evidence blocks reuse rather than risking
concurrent provider work.
- The paid suite incurs Daytona and Codex cost only in the existing
protected scheduled/manual workflow and explicitly destroys its sandbox
after each cell.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex with GPT-5 agentic reasoning, repository inspection, real
browser E2E execution, Rust/TypeScript test execution, and GitHub
Actions diagnostics.

Dotta af8439a70b feat(runner): restore direct live eval campaigns and reports (#12909)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Runner executes agents through native and managed provider
drivers.
> - The direct live eval layer had drifted from the current Runner
contracts.
> - The old local workflow did not provide a complete parallel campaign
or durable report history.
> - The Runner also needed current native OpenCode and OpenRouter
qualification.
> - This pull request restores the direct campaign, corrects the runtime
gaps that the campaign found, and adds safe hosted Evalbook history.
> - The benefit is repeatable model comparison against an immutable
Runner and eval source revision.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #11297
Refs #11634

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

This improves the direct live `paperclip-runner` eval workflow, provider
execution contract, and static Evalbook reporting path.

**Current behavior**

The direct evals do not have one maintained full campaign on current
`master`. OpenCode has no qualified multi-model OpenRouter roster.
Parallel provider bursts can compact committed events before the
transport observes them. Local reports do not have a separate safe S3
history index.

**Proposed behavior**

Run one immutable roster-plus-case matrix. Use the shared paid AWS
runner fleet. Keep raw artifacts access-controlled. Publish a sanitized
canonical Evalbook report under the separate `runner-protocol-evals` S3
prefix. Keep immutable campaign directories plus root history, latest,
and latest-green pointers.

**Reason and benefit**

Maintainers can compare native Codex, native OpenCode, ACPX, Claude
Managed, and AWS AgentCore behavior over time. They can inspect failures
without mixing this direct protocol layer with browser full-stack E2E.

**Breaking changes**

None. The new workflow and S3 prefix are additive. The existing Runner
full-stack E2E workflow and report remain separate.

## What Changed

- Added a trusted two-shard direct live workflow for up to 393
roster-plus-case cells.
- Reused the numeric actor allowlist, protected paid environment, and
RunsOn fleet controls from Runner full-stack E2E.
- Added immutable Runner and eval revision resolution, exact credential
boundaries, bounded retries, and cost ceilings.
- Added a public report projection that removes sessions, transcripts,
tool payloads, state, traces, raw failures, remote profile identities,
and credential-shaped values.
- Added additive S3 history under `runner-protocol-evals`, with
immutable campaigns and mutable root index pointers.
- Added native OpenCode model injection and current OpenRouter pricing
contracts.
- Fixed direct eval completion, workflow execution, semantic discovery,
warm-attach state reset, executable binding, and event-burst handling.
- Kept Runner browser full-stack E2E behavior and publication separate.
- Documented local and hosted direct eval operation.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner
test:runner-protocol-eval-publish` — 15 passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner build:typescript` —
passed.
- `actionlint .github/workflows/runner-protocol-live-evals.yml
.github/workflows/runner-full-stack-e2e.yml` — passed.
- Local current matrix at the revision in
[paperclip-evals#17](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-evals/pull/17)
— 323 cells across 10 enabled configurations completed.
- Final local current matrix — 269 passed, 11 behavior failures, and 43
expected macOS-only ACPX platform failures.
- Targeted Runner checks — 13/13 eval-session tests, 15/15
publisher/security tests, and package typecheck passed; complete PR CI
is green, including all browser E2E shards.

## Risks

- Paid live campaigns can consume provider budget. Actor authorization,
exact per-cell ceilings, protected environments, and explicit schedule
enablement bound this risk.
- Public reports can leak provider data. The workflow publishes only a
separately projected report and validates every file before upload.
- The new workflow cannot publish until it is present on the default
branch. This pull request does not change the existing
`runner-full-stack-e2e` publication path.
- The campaign is large. It uses two GitHub matrices and caps combined
concurrency at the shared fleet limit.

Dotta 1dceee9a4e fix(runner): persist warm Daytona workspaces (#12901)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agent work and the execution state for each
task.
> - Remote agents run in sandbox environments such as Daytona.
> - Daytona keeps files while a sandbox is stopped, but deletion removes
those files.
> - Runner Codex did not copy successful remote workspace changes back
to the host workspace.
> - A warm sandbox could therefore hide data loss until Daytona replaced
or deleted the sandbox.
> - This pull request makes the host workspace durable after every
successful turn and keeps verified reusable sandboxes warm.
> - The benefit is reliable multi-turn work across warm reuse, restart,
stop, and sandbox replacement.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A successful native Codex turn in Daytona could leave workspace changes
only in the remote sandbox. A later warm turn appeared to work because
it reused that filesystem. A replacement sandbox could start from stale
host data and lose the successful changes.

**Expected behavior**

Paperclip must merge each successful remote turn into the authoritative
host workspace before it completes the run. A verified warm lease may
reuse its remote files. A replacement lease must reconstruct the exact
durable workspace seed.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run Codex in a reusable Daytona environment.
2. Write a file during one successful turn.
3. Replace the Daytona sandbox before the next turn.
4. Observe that the next turn can start without the prior file on the
unpatched code.

Related remote workspace foundation: #10070.

## What Changed

- Added explicit `host_current`, `durable_seed`, and `adopt_remote`
workspace preparation modes.
- Added atomic, versioned native workspace descriptors and seed archives
under `PAPERCLIP_HOME`.
- Added real native sandbox export and three-way host merge before
terminal result completion.
- Added workspace-only recovery after a proposed result. Recovery does
not submit another provider turn or consume the provider retry budget.
- Added fail-closed handling when a sandbox with unexported changes is
gone.
- Kept healthy reusable Daytona sandboxes started for legacy Codex and
Runner Codex.
- Kept the Runner Codex process and provider session across verified
warm turns.
- Added the paid `daytona-warm-continuity` browser suite. It contains
exactly the legacy Codex and Runner Codex cells. Each cell performs
three measured turns.
- Documented `pnpm test:e2e:runner -- --suite daytona-warm-continuity`.
No package script was added.
- Added no database migration. The metadata format is backward
compatible and idempotent.

## Verification

- `pnpm typecheck`
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:unit` — 114 passed
- Native workspace, finalizer, session, and environment tests — 232
passed
- Daytona provider tests — 150 passed
- Workspace staging and merge tests — 98 passed
- Runner transport tests — 63 passed
- Legacy Codex restore tests — 5 passed
- Rust format and compile checks pass through root typecheck
- The paid Daytona suite was not run locally because the required
Daytona, OpenAI, and immutable image credentials are not present.

## Risks

- The main risk is an incorrect workspace identity or merge after a
crash. Durable descriptors bind the run, workspace, lease, provider
lease, local root, remote root, and baseline digest. Ambiguous evidence
fails closed.
- The host merge may conflict with concurrent host edits. The existing
three-way merge and exclusion rules handle this case and surface
failures.
- A deleted sandbox cannot recover unexported bytes. Paperclip now
blocks with `workspace_sync_out_unrecoverable` instead of reporting
success or rerunning the provider.
- There is no database migration. Descriptor writes and recovery are
atomic and idempotent.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex with GPT-5. The run used agentic reasoning, repository
inspection, code execution, test execution, Git, and GitHub CLI tools.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The runner E2E job captured final-state screenshots in its private
artifact. The public S3 and GitHub Pages publication step removed those
screenshots before it regenerated the dashboard. As a result, the public
report showed the new dashboard controls but no screenshot thumbnails or
gallery items.

**Expected behavior**

Each future public runner E2E report must include reviewed PNG
screenshots from the live fixture issue. Other captures and active or
unsafe evidence must stay private.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run the runner full-stack E2E workflow on `master` before this
change.
2. Open the private `runner-e2e-report-*` artifact and confirm that it
contains per-attempt PNG screenshots.
3. Open the public campaign URL and confirm that the dashboard has no
screenshot gallery items.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The issue was reproduced on commit `64d8929`, after the report design
change in PR #12889.

**Deployment mode**

GitHub Actions with the public S3 and GitHub Pages report publishers.

Related design work: Refs #12889.

## What Changed

- Mark screenshots from the exact server-created live fixture issue
route with `public-runner-fixture`.
- Keep marked PNG files in both the S3 history bundle and the GitHub
Pages bundle.
- Keep captures from other issue routes, sensitive routes, and external
origins private.
- Bind public files to the normalized execution ID, attempt, and safe
PNG base name.
- Validate every retained image with the existing PNG signature and 12
MiB size checks.
- Skip missing-artifact sentinel results with attempt `0` when they have
no public screenshots.
- Continue to remove unmarked images, videos, traces, archives,
generated HTML reports, and other private evidence.
- Update publisher tests, workflow checks, report copy, and the
public-evidence security documentation.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run --config tests/runner-e2e/vitest.config.ts
tests/runner-e2e/history.test.ts tests/runner-e2e/report.test.ts`
- `pnpm exec vitest run --config tests/runner-e2e/vitest.config.ts
tests/runner-e2e/workflow-security.test.ts -t "uses environment-scoped
OIDC"`
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:typecheck`
- `PAPERCLIP_PLAYWRIGHT_CHANNEL=chrome pnpm exec playwright test
--config tests/e2e/playwright.config.ts
tests/e2e/runner-e2e-dashboard.spec.ts`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- Regenerated the dashboard from retained evidence for Actions run
`33968240659` without a paid matrix rerun. The public-stage proof
contained 121 screenshot gallery items and thumbnail frames, with zero
generated HTML report files. The trusted-fixture marker and route gate
have separate focused tests.
- All pull request CI checks pass on commit `ccd2b49e1`.

## Risks

- This change intentionally makes marked fixture screenshots public at
the campaign URL. A screenshot can show data that a raw-byte secret scan
cannot detect.
- The capture helper marks a screenshot only on the exact loopback issue
route for the fixture that the harness created. A different issue,
sensitive page, or external origin stays private.
- The publisher also requires the marker, a safe normalized path, a
valid PNG signature, and the size limit.
- The change does not publish videos, logs, traces, archives, arbitrary
images, or generated browser report trees.

Dotta 64d8929ce9 fix(runner-e2e): bound completed cell teardown (#12890)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The runner E2E suite verifies complete agent tasks against real
providers.
> - A Codex Plan test finished in 76 seconds, but its Playwright process
stayed alive for 25 more minutes.

successful runs need.
> - This pull request adds a bounded result-to-exit check and safe
process evidence.
> - It also reduces the Plan limits while it keeps large headroom over
measured success times.
> - The benefit is faster diagnosis and no false green result after a
teardown stall.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Pre-submission checklist**

I searched open pull requests for runner E2E timeout and Playwright
cleanup changes. I found no duplicate. The problem reproduces on
`master`.

**What happened?**

The local Codex Plan cell completed its test in 76 seconds. Playwright
then stayed alive for about 25 minutes. The launcher watchdog killed it
after 26.5 minutes, but the launcher still accepted the saved passing
result.

**Expected behavior**

The launcher must stop a process that stays alive after all results
exist. It must report a cleanup failure instead of a pass. Plan tests
must also use limits that match measured successful runs.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run `core-compatibility.runner-codex.local.plan-revise-accept`.
2. Observe a valid result and the Playwright pass output.
3. Observe that the process can stay alive until the old launcher
watchdog stops it.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The evidence came from `bcc6fe7a442dae74ab0321ad472f7536ffa58f04` in
[Actions run
33963318820](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/33963318820).

## What Changed

- Reduce the Plan attempt limit from 20 to 8 minutes for local
execution.
- Reduce the Plan attempt limit from 35 to 12 minutes for Daytona
execution.
- Stop Playwright after it stays alive for 120 seconds after every
result exists.
- Record only allowlisted process kinds in the stall diagnostic.
- Validate process identities before cleanup and retain continuously
live process groups through member replacement.
- Treat watchdog, post-result, cleanup, and nonzero-exit conflicts as
cleanup failures.
- Keep interactive `--ui` and `--debug` sessions exempt from the
result-to-exit check.

## Verification

- Prettier completed for all changed files.
- `git diff --check` passed.
- Static review confirmed the timeout derivation and cleanup boundaries.
- An independent review found no blocking issue in the final patch.
- I did not run local tests, builds, or type checks because this
workstation must use the lightweight workflow.
- GitHub CI and the exact paid Codex Plan cell will verify this commit.

## Risks

The main risk is a false cleanup failure when Playwright needs more than
120 seconds after it writes all results. The allowance is separate from
the task limit. Interactive modes are exempt. The diagnostic does not
print command arguments or environment values.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex with GPT-5.6, reasoning, tool use, and code execution.

DottaandPaperclip 4a7172f5ac feat(runner-e2e): improve matrix report browsing (#12889)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app that people use to manage AI agents
for work.
> - The runner E2E system verifies agent profiles across supported
execution environments.
> - Its generated report is the main surface for inspecting those
results and their visual evidence.
> - Expanded matcher content could change the matrix column widths and
make comparisons difficult.
> - Screenshots also required extra navigation, and the report did not
have current-result search and filters.
> - This pull request stabilizes the matrix layout and makes visual
evidence directly browsable.
> - The benefit is faster inspection of retained test evidence without
another paid matrix run.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The runner E2E report changed matrix column widths when a matcher table
expanded. The report also made screenshot comparison and current-result
discovery slower than necessary.

**Expected behavior**

The matrix columns must remain stable. Each retained screenshot must
appear as a thumbnail. The gallery must support keyboard navigation and
show the relevant execution metadata. The report must support
client-side search and filters.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Open a runner E2E matrix report that contains retained screenshots.
2. Expand the matcher details in a matrix cell.
3. Observe the matrix column movement in the old report.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`8430bd897`

**Deployment mode**

Generated static runner E2E report.

## What Changed

- Keep matrix and matcher table widths stable when details expand.
- Show retained screenshot thumbnails in each test card.
- Add a full-screen evidence gallery with mouse, keyboard, and swipe
navigation.
- Show agent, environment, runtime, status, duration, token, and matcher
data in the gallery header.
- Add client-side search and profile, environment, suite, and status
filters below the report section tabs.
- Keep the filters in normal document flow while the report tabs remain
sticky.
- Add report generator assertions for the new layout and controls.
- Add Playwright coverage for filtering, stable matcher expansion, and
filtered gallery navigation.

## Verification

- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:typecheck`
- `pnpm exec vitest run --config tests/runner-e2e/vitest.config.ts
tests/runner-e2e/report.test.ts`
- `PAPERCLIP_PLAYWRIGHT_CHANNEL=chrome pnpm exec playwright test
--config tests/e2e/playwright.config.ts
tests/e2e/runner-e2e-dashboard.spec.ts`
- `node --test ./scripts/__tests__/e2e-shard.test.mjs`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm test:run`
- `pnpm build`
- Regenerated the report from GitHub Actions run `33963318820` without
rerunning the matrix.
- Verified 121 retained thumbnails across 66 results in a local browser.
- Verified that expanded matchers keep matrix widths at 260, 486, and
486 pixels in a 1280-pixel viewport.
- Verified search, filters, modal metadata, and arrow-key gallery
navigation.

## Risks

Low risk. This change only modifies the static runner E2E report
generator and its tests. It does not change runner execution or retained
evidence data.

> This work is focused report polish. It does not duplicate planned core
work in `ROADMAP.md`.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex with `gpt-5.6-sol`. Codex desktop managed the context
window. The model used reasoning, filesystem tools, code execution,
GitHub CLI access, and in-app browser verification.

Dotta 8430bd897f ci: reuse trusted cache for Daytona images (#12862)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The full-stack runner campaign checks local and Daytona runner
behavior.
> - A Daytona image content miss starts a cold multi-stage Docker build.
> - Stable dependency and agent CLI layers take most of the image build
time.
> - Development targets must not write shared cache state.
> - This pull request adds a registry cache with a default-branch write
gate.
> - It also puts volatile source inputs after stable install layers.
> - The benefit is a shorter Daytona image build without weaker secret
isolation.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

This improves the Daytona runner image stage in the full-stack E2E
workflow.

**Subsystem affected**

The GitHub Actions runner E2E workflow and its Daytona Docker image are
affected.

**Current behavior**

Each new Daytona image content ID starts with an empty BuildKit cache. A
runner source change also invalidates dependency and agent CLI install
layers because volatile inputs occur before those layers.

**Proposed behavior**

All authorized campaigns can read one GHCR BuildKit cache. Only a
campaign whose target ref is the repository default branch can update
that cache. The Dockerfile installs dependencies and agent CLIs before
it consumes volatile runner source or revision metadata.

**Reason and benefit**

The paid runner matrix spends several minutes building the image before
any selected cell can start. Cache reuse removes repeated stable setup
work and makes focused Daytona iterations faster.

**Breaking changes**

None. The immutable content tag, digest inspection, Cosign signature,
image labels, pinned base images, and provider credential boundary stay
unchanged.

## What Changed

- Read a registry-backed BuildKit cache for Daytona image content
misses.
- Export the cache only when the resolved target ref is the default
branch.
- Keep provider credentials outside the image build and cache.
- Install provider-pack dependencies before runner source is copied.
- Keep expensive agent CLI installs before source revision metadata.
- Add workflow and Docker layer-order contract checks.

## Verification

- `prettier --write .github/workflows/runner-full-stack-e2e.yml
tests/runner-e2e/daytona-image.test.ts
tests/runner-e2e/workflow-security.test.ts`
- `actionlint .github/workflows/runner-full-stack-e2e.yml`
- `git diff --check`
- I did not run a test suite or Docker image build locally. The
requested iteration policy reserves those checks for GitHub Actions.

## Risks

Low risk. BuildKit can use a cache record only when its content key
matches the build instruction and input. Development targets have
read-only cache access. The cache contains public source and build
outputs, but it does not receive provider credentials or the GitHub
token as Docker build inputs.

Dotta bcc6fe7a44 fix(runner): restore multi-turn remote sessions (#12840)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - The runner executes agent turns on local and remote providers.
> - A remote per-turn session must save its state before Paperclip
releases its sandbox.
> - The session runtime returned after 100 milliseconds while the remote
checkpoint still ran.
> - The next turn also checked the local state path instead of the
verified remote backup.
> - This pull request waits for the bounded remote close and accepts
only a verified suspended backup.
> - The benefit is reliable multi-turn execution without weaker identity
checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A successful remote agent turn released its sandbox before the runner
saved the verified continuation backup. The next turn failed with
`runner_state_identity_mismatch`.

**Expected behavior**

Paperclip must finish the bounded remote checkpoint before it releases
the sandbox. A later turn must validate and restore the digest-matched
suspended backup.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run a native ACPX Claude Plan test in a non-reusable Daytona sandbox.
2. Reject the first plan to start a second turn.
3. Observe that the second turn fails before provider execution.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The failure reproduced at `13775a90b078ff64872f50961ea1b83d575e7bc6`.

**Deployment mode**

GitHub Actions with a Daytona sandbox.

## What Changed

- Wait for the internally bounded remote runner close and checkpoint
before the host returns.
- Preserve the existing short cleanup bound for other providers.
- Validate remote continuation lifecycle from a complete digest-verified
backup when local runner state is absent.
- Keep corrupt, non-suspended, mismatched, and unverified state
fail-closed.
- Make native Plan completion and accepted-Plan wake prompts
deterministic.

## Verification

- A prior 45-cell local campaign passed 44 cells. The only failure was
the OpenCode Plan prompt variance fixed here.
- A focused OpenCode local Plan rerun passed.
- ACPX Claude Daytona message and question cells passed.
- Focused regressions cover delayed checkpoint close and verified remote
backup lifecycle.
- GitHub Build and the focused ACPX Claude Daytona Plan cell will
validate this exact head.

## Risks

Remote runnerd sessions now wait for their internally bounded
close/checkpoint path before returning; generic provider cleanup retains
the existing 100 millisecond bound. Durable run success still cannot be
reversed. The environment release guard still blocks sandbox destruction
when no verified backup stamp exists.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5.6, extended reasoning, with code execution and
GitHub Actions inspection.

Dotta d593463ab6 perf(e2e): narrow Daytona image cache inputs (#12850)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip uses paid full-stack tests to verify local and Daytona
runner behavior.
> - Daytona tests reuse a content-addressed runner image when its
runtime inputs match.
> - The prior key covered the full runner package even when Docker
excluded development files.
> - Test-only and documentation changes could therefore force an
identical image rebuild.
> - This pull request aligns the Docker input closure and content-key
closure.
> - The benefit is faster paid-test iteration without unsafe image
reuse.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The Daytona paid-test workflow currently rebuilds its large runner image
after changes to runner tests, fixtures, smoke scripts, or
documentation. Those files do not enter the image and do not change its
runtime bytes.

**Subsystem affected**

The runner full-stack E2E workflow and its Daytona image build contract
are affected.

**Current behavior**

The content key hashes the full runner package. A development-only edit
changes the key even though the Docker build context excludes that edit.

**Proposed behavior**

The Dockerfile copies an explicit runtime build closure. The content key
hashes the same closure and continues to include every source, manifest,
lockfile, protocol, toolchain, and pinned image input that can affect
runtime bytes.

**Reason and benefit**

The workflow can reuse verified images for test-only changes. A runtime
change still creates a new immutable key and image.

**Breaking changes**

None. This changes only paid-test image cache identity and Docker build
inputs.

## What Changed

- Replace broad runner and eval package copies with explicit build
inputs.
- Advance the Daytona image content schema to version 5.
- Hash the matching explicit TypeScript, protocol, script, manifest,
lockfile, and Rust closure.
- Add contract coverage for runtime inputs and development-only
exclusions.

## Verification

- Focused Daytona image contract tests passed: 6 of 6.
- Exact-head ordinary CI [run
33913366909](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/33913366909)
passed every job.
- The PR policy check passed on [run 33913366951, attempt
2](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/33913366951).
- The one-cell paid [run
33916670340](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/33916670340)
passed end to end.
- Image job 101165705592 built the explicit 6.33 MB context from exact
source revision `4bcfb3faa7694aad4ceca2193230d9693af6c9e0`.
- The workflow published content key
`3a3a8a19d2362263e972bead4427048c82a7da61dc203cd5c83aa40b88d90524` at
immutable digest
`sha256:a5b6f7517bc020ec2bae8075210d1a3f867284f4733042114528e19150ffac0a`.
- Cosign verified the image and recorded transparency log entry
2715972694.
- The sole `core-compatibility.legacy-codex.daytona.message-marker` cell
passed in job 101168063383.
- Campaign aggregation, immutable S3 history publication, and GitHub
Pages publication all passed.
- Full local test, build, and typecheck suites were not run.

## Risks

A future Docker build input could be omitted from the explicit closure.
Contract tests reject the prior broad copies and check the current
required runtime inputs. The real Daytona image build also qualified the
closure before merge.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex GPT-5.6 with agentic reasoning and tool use.

Dotta b84964e5a2 fix(runner): stabilize local paid E2E recovery (#12836)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Paid runner E2E tests verify the complete runner, control-plane, and
UI path.
> - A server restart could load a fresh task page while Playwright still
waited on an unsettled Vite navigation lifecycle.
> - The current server also ignored the isolated Vite cache path and
skipped Vite's per-request HTML transform from the known-green runner
snapshot.
> - A one-cell paid run then exposed that download-artifact v8 removes
the artifact-name directory for one pattern match.
> - This pull request restores the Vite contract, proves a fresh
document after restart, and accepts only the exact singleton artifact
layout.
> - The benefit is reliable local runner qualification without weaker
UI, source, or artifact checks.

replacement server returned the task route and rendered the durable
pending interaction. A focused one-cell rerun passed the paid test but
failed aggregation because download-artifact v8 flattened its single
artifact.

**Expected behavior**

The test must prove that a new document loaded after the server restart
and that the same pending interaction survived. The aggregate must
accept the exact documented singleton download layout while it continues
to reject ambiguous or foreign artifacts.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run the local ACPX-Codex structured-question restart-resume cell.
2. Restart the isolated server while the question waits for an answer.
3. Observe that the route and task UI can reload before Playwright
settles the navigation promise.
4. Run a paid campaign with one selected cell.
5. Observe download-artifact v8 extract the sole campaign directory
directly into the requested path.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The local campaign reproduced the navigation failure at
`3586956a1b794b3cb4a9c5f57ffb7355e2b0c46d`. The one-cell aggregate
reproduced the singleton layout at
`f487660c0a06ba06ca140b57386f21ed39f13120`. This fix is
`de4ccceff453a4b39436bf9a2eb8f03924151af7`.

**Deployment mode**

Local development and paid GitHub Actions.

**Installation method**

Built from source.

**Agent adapter(s) involved**

ACPX-Codex. The Vite and aggregate fixes are provider-neutral.

## What Changed

- Prove a new post-restart browser document with an in-memory sentinel.
- Tolerate only Playwright's navigation timeout before the exact UI and
API checks run.
- Honor `PAPERCLIP_VITE_CACHE_DIR` in the embedded Vite server.
- Limit dependency optimization to the real UI entry.
- Run `vite.transformIndexHtml` for each request while caching only the
branded source template.
- Accept download-artifact v8's flattened layout only for one expected
cell with one unique recognized campaign.
- Keep source SHA, source ref, workflow URL, execution ID, attempt, and
unexpected-entry validation.
- Add focused positive and negative regressions for Vite rendering and
singleton artifact selection.

## Verification

- Exact 45-cell local campaign
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/33888939013 passed
44/45. Its only failure was the post-restart navigation false negative
fixed here.
- Exact focused rerun
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/33891207957 passed
the ACPX-Codex restart cell first attempt with the same session, two
durable runs, the terminal marker once, and cleanup complete.
- The focused Vite renderer suite passed 2/2 tests.
- The focused rerun-artifact selector suite passed 12/12 tests.
- Prettier and `git diff --check` passed.
- An exact-head 45-cell confirmation is pending.

## Risks

Low to medium risk. The Vite change restores known-green per-request
transforms and isolated cache behavior. It can affect all development UI
loads. The paid matrix and ordinary CI will verify that behavior. The
singleton selector remains fail-closed for ambiguous layouts and
validates every result source.

execution, and parallel focused agents.

Dotta da1e403022 test(runner): harden native OpenCode paid fixtures (#12833)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Paid runner E2E tests verify the full control-plane path for
supported providers.
> - Native OpenCode could write the reserved terminal marker through
progress and final output.
> - The restart fixture also waited for all development assets after the
recovered UI was already usable.
> - These behaviors made two valid local runner paths fail
qualification.
> - This pull request makes the OpenCode write contract explicit and
uses the visible UI as the restart readiness gate.
> - The benefit is reliable local OpenCode qualification without weaker
duplicate detection.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #12769
Refs #12829
Refs #12828

**What happened?**

The native OpenCode ask fixture allowed a progress tool call before the
final response. OpenCode could write the reserved terminal marker in
both places. The structured restart fixture could also time out while it
waited for `DOMContentLoaded` after the recovered UI was visible and
usable.

**Expected behavior**

The ask fixture must write the reserved marker once. The restart fixture
must continue when the recovered UI and interaction API prove that the
application is ready.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run the local native OpenCode ask-question paid cell.
2. Observe a run that calls `report_progress`, calls `paperclip_finish`,
and then emits the exact marker.
3. Run the local native OpenCode structured-question restart-resume cell
with a fresh Vite graph.
4. Observe that the page is usable before the navigation lifecycle event
completes.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The failures reproduced at `06cdf88bd9ac0fad82588025d23a68e810b20fd0`.
The fixes are at `f7e044e71df11a0582eafe28d2fd52ea7cd07948`.

**Deployment mode**

Local dev.

**Installation method**

Built from source.

**Agent adapter(s) involved**

OpenCode through the native runner.

## What Changed

- Require `paperclip_finish` to be the only tool call in the native ask
fixture.
- Forbid `report_progress` and other tool calls in that fixture.
- Wait for navigation commit after a server restart.
- Keep the explicit recovered UI and interaction API readiness checks.
- Add prompt contract assertions.

## Verification

- The exact two-cell paid run passed both affected cells on the AWS
runner fleet:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/33883334853
- Native OpenCode ask-question passed in job
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/33883334853/job/101058952662
- Native OpenCode structured restart-resume passed in job
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/33883334853/job/101058952823
- Prettier passed for all three changed files.
- `git diff --check` passed.
- The run-level aggregate failed only because the workflow source still
used the pre-repair lockfile on `master`. PR #12828 repairs that
lockfile.

## Risks

Low risk. The prompt change affects native ask fixtures across provider
profiles. The navigation change remains guarded by explicit UI and API
assertions.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, `gpt-5.6-sol`, extended reasoning, tool use, and code
execution.

Dotta 4ef6155aae ci: harden paid runner browser and lock repair (#12829)
## Thinking Path

Paid cells now reuse the AWS image's system Chrome, but Playwright video
recording still resolves its revision-pinned FFmpeg helper from the
Playwright cache. Run 33875618534 proved Chrome qualification succeeds
and then failed before provider startup because that helper was absent.
The same run also exposed that generic lock repair can churn unrelated
package platform metadata, so the automated repair paths need
resolution-only regeneration rather than lockfile-only metadata refresh.

## What Changed

- install Playwright FFmpeg only on the AWS/system-Chrome path
- retry the small helper installation up to three times before provider
secrets are exposed
- keep the GitHub-hosted Chromium fallback unchanged
- bind static coverage to the exact FFmpeg step block and its pre-secret
ordering
- add pnpm `--resolution-only` to all four automated lock-repair paths
while retaining full transitive resolution
- require resolution-only repair in the shared workflow regression

The actual generated lockfile correction remains bot-owned by PR #12828
and is intentionally not committed here.

## Verification

- `node --test
.github/scripts/tests/lockfile-refresh-workflows.test.mjs`
- `actionlint -ignore SC2012` on all modified workflows
- focused Prettier checks
- `git diff --check`
- prior run 33875618534: system Chrome 151 qualified; missing Playwright
FFmpeg was the sole cell startup failure

## Risks

Low. The new network operation is limited to Playwright's pinned FFmpeg
payload, happens before paid credentials are exposed, and leaves the
hosted-runner path unchanged. Resolution-only is still a full
dependency-resolution pass, unlike lockfile-only, while avoiding
unrelated current-platform metadata churn.

Dotta af3023f1e3 fix(runner): repair paid provider startup paths (#12769)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents that perform work.
> - Paperclip Runner connects durable task runs to local provider
processes.
> - The full-stack paid matrix exposed failures after the runner
integrity repair.
> - Verified JavaScript entrypoints lost their relative module graph
when Linux executed them through descriptor paths.
> - Returned provider startup errors also remained pending and became
indeterminate after recovery.
> - Sparse Codex tool lifecycle events lost the `write_document`
identity before task transcript projection.
> - This pull request repairs those three boundaries and makes the
structured-question fixture deterministic.
> - The benefit is repeatable provider startup, exact failure replay,
and correct inline Plan placement.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #12721 and #12700.

**What happened?**

The paid runner matrix failed ACPX and OpenCode startup before provider
session creation. The runner journal then replaced the original startup
error with an indeterminate recovery result. Native Codex saved a Plan
but rendered it only as a fallback card. A legacy Claude waiting reply
could also echo the reserved terminal marker before the answer arrived.

**Expected behavior**

Verified JavaScript providers must start from immutable
descriptor-backed artifacts. Returned startup failures must persist as
terminal failed command results. Native tool lifecycle updates must
preserve the `write_document` boundary. Pre-answer fixture output must
not contain the reserved terminal marker.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run the local provider cells in the Runner Full-Stack E2E workflow.
2. Observe ACPX and OpenCode fail during `session.open` before provider
execution.
3. Observe recovery report `execution_indeterminate` instead of the
original startup error.
4. Run the native Codex Plan cell and observe the fallback Plan card
after the tool activity row.
5. Run the legacy Claude structured-question resume cell and observe an
early marker echo in waiting prose.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`0f9452101740835ce0b1488a204bf48acd5bafc3`

**Deployment mode**

Local development with the paid GitHub Actions acceptance workflow.

## What Changed

- Bundle the ACPX sidecar and OpenCode proxy as self-contained Node ESM
entrypoints before hashing and verified descriptor launch.
- Anchor ACPX dynamic provider package resolution at a
controller-derived provider-pack root and keep that root out of the
provider child environment.
- Persist executor-returned startup errors as redacted durable failed
command results while retaining indeterminate recovery for true process
death.
- Coalesce sparse native tool items by stable ID so a late
`write_document` name, input, and result reach the transcript boundary
once.
- Forbid the structured-question fixture from spelling or announcing its
reserved terminal marker before the user answers.

## Verification

- Rust and TypeScript regression tests cover durable failed replay, true
crash ambiguity, bundle closure, package-root derivation, environment
filtering, exact Codex tool lifecycle coalescing, and prompt
determinism.
- Local execution is intentionally limited to formatters and static diff
checks. GitHub Actions will run tests, type checks, builds, and security
checks.
- After ordinary CI is green, scoped paid cells will validate one ACPX
launch, one OpenCode launch, native Codex Plan projection, and legacy
Claude structured resume before a complete matrix rerun.
- Prior failing matrix:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/33682434315

## Risks

- Bundling changes the bytes covered by provider launch hashes.
Provider-pack generation already hashes the final built files.
- ACPX still loads qualified provider packages dynamically. The
controller supplies a normalized package root, while existing version,
digest, path, and descriptor checks remain active.
- Durable `failed` is terminal. Replays return the same redacted result
and do not execute the provider effect twice.

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip validates every change through an immutable reusable PR

> - The implementation fix in #12808 is therefore present on master but

> - Advancing the immutable caller pin activates the already tested
Node-first workflow.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #12808

## What Changed

- Pin ordinary PR CI to trusted workflow revision
`a0a78ee60946a5f79f85b2bd0584fc766fae43bb`.
- Assert that the reusable workflow call is canonical, unique, and
SHA-pinned to that audited revision.

## Verification

- Focused workflow security test: 8/8.
- Prettier passed.
- Actionlint passed.
- `git diff --check` passed.

## Risks

Low risk. The change only advances an immutable reusable-workflow pin to

Dotta a0a78ee609 ci: bootstrap Node before pnpm setup (#12808)
## Thinking Path
The trusted workflows currently invoke `pnpm/action-setup@v6` before
installing the repository Node version. On hosts whose ambient Node is
older than 22.13, the action downloads standalone `@pnpm/exe`, which has
repeatedly taken several minutes. Supplying Node 24 first lets the same
pinned pnpm action use its normal Node-backed path.

## What Changed
- install Node 24 before every trusted `pnpm/action-setup` invocation
- preserve the existing pnpm-store cache setup, pinned actions,
telemetry suppression, conditions, and secret boundaries
- enforce ordering, modern Node, condition parity, and cache counts in
the workflow security contract

## Verification
- workflow security: 7/7
- Prettier
- actionlint (excluding one pre-existing SC2129 in an untouched Daytona
shell block)
- `git diff --check`

## Risks
Low. Product code, providers, paid-runner selection, credentials, and
pnpm version are unchanged. Jobs that restore pnpm cache run
`setup-node` a second time after pnpm becomes available; the first setup
is deliberately cache-free.

Dotta 18ea965442 ci(runner): stamp paid target provenance (#12805)
## Thinking Path
Trusted workflow-dispatch runs execute an authorized target SHA, but
GitHub context still describes the default-branch workflow revision.
Retained paid results and artifact names were therefore labeling
target-branch executions as master. The workflow must explicitly pass
its authorized target coordinates to target code and trusted reporting.

## What Changed
- emit the canonical authorized target ref alongside the immutable
target SHA
- pass those coordinates to paid cells and the trusted report
- name shared build/provider artifacts with the target SHA rather than
workflow SHA
- add workflow-security coverage for all trusted provenance wiring

## Verification
- focused workflow-security tests: 6/6 passed
- Prettier and git diff checks passed
- run 33823252706 independently proved the pre-fix defect: functionally
green target cells were retained as master SHA 0ad180b85 instead of
feature SHA 33c7646d3

## Risks
The execution checkout and secret boundary were already pinned
correctly; this changes retained attribution and artifact labels only.
Target-side report code on PR #12769 consumes these trusted environment
values and overwrites untrusted cell metadata.

Dotta 0ad180b85f ci(runner): skip bootstrap registry telemetry (#12797)
## Thinking Path
Every trusted PR and paid-workflow job invokes the pinned pnpm setup
action. Its internal npm install is currently waiting four to seven
minutes on npm audit telemetry before any Paperclip or provider code
runs. Audit, funding, and update notifications are not integrity
controls for this action; its committed lockfile still verifies
installed package bytes.

## What Changed
- disable npm audit, funding, and update-notifier telemetry narrowly on
all seven pinned setup steps in each of the trusted PR and full-stack
workflows
- add a workflow security contract proving every setup invocation
remains covered and the overrides do not leak elsewhere

## Verification
- focused workflow security tests: 6/6 passed
- Prettier and git diff checks passed
- observed unhealthy setup: 4-7+ minutes; historical healthy setup:
about four seconds

## Risks
This skips npm vulnerability-report telemetry for the setup action
bootstrap only. Repository dependency checks, lockfile integrity,
provider-secret authorization, and target-lock verification remain
unchanged.

Dotta 03faa644fb ci(runner): inspect Daytona image metadata remotely (#12795)
## Thinking Path
The reused Daytona image path already verifies the signed immutable
digest. It then downloads every filesystem layer only to read OCI config
fields. Buildx can retrieve the same config from that immutable digest
without pulling the layers. The assertions can therefore stay intact
while removing the expensive transfer.

## What Changed
- inspect the signed immutable Daytona image config through Buildx after
GHCR logout
- preserve digest, source revision, content ID, platform, user, and
provider-pack assertions
- extend the workflow contract test for the metadata-only path

## Verification
- Daytona image and workflow security tests: 10 passed
- Prettier and git diff checks passed
- observed full pull/prune cost: about 4m55s; metadata inspection: about
one second

## Risks
The current image has one runnable linux/amd64 platform plus its
attestation. A future genuinely multi-platform image would need explicit
linux/amd64 selection.

Dotta d3c04d8932 fix(runner-e2e): prepare frozen Daytona plugin dependencies (#12791)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their provider runtimes.
> - The paid runner workflow installs target dependencies with lifecycle
scripts disabled.
> - The bundled Daytona plugin depends on an audited repo-local plugin
SDK link.
> - The lifecycle-safe install path did not create that link.
> - This pull request restores only the trusted Daytona preparation step
before provider secrets are exposed.
> - The benefit is a working Daytona canary without enabling dependency
lifecycle scripts.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The Daytona paid canary stopped before lease or provider startup. The
trusted paid job disabled root lifecycle scripts, so the repo-local
plugin SDK link was absent. The plugin install returned a missing
runtime dependency error for @paperclipai/plugin-sdk.

**Expected behavior**

The trusted workflow must prepare the bundled Daytona plugin without
running untrusted dependency lifecycle scripts. The paid cell must start
only after its runtime dependencies and entrypoints pass validation.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Dispatch the runner full-stack paid workflow for
core-compatibility.runner-acpx-claude.daytona.message-marker.
2. Let the trusted job install root dependencies with lifecycle scripts
disabled.
3. Observe the Daytona plugin installation fail before a lease or
provider process starts.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Feature head 781ac7e08c. The failed canary
is Actions run 33803959325.

**Deployment mode**

GitHub Actions paid runner validation.

**Agent adapter(s) involved**

ACPX Claude through the bundled Daytona plugin.

**Additional context**

This is a small trusted-workflow prerequisite for public PR #12769. Old
green run 33118525827 created the SDK link through root postinstall.
This change keeps lifecycle scripts disabled and restores only the
audited prerequisite.

## What Changed

- Install standalone Daytona dependencies with lifecycle scripts
disabled.
- Run the audited repo-local plugin SDK linker before provider secrets
are exposed.
- Build the bundled Daytona plugin and verify its runtime dependency
plus both entrypoints.
- Add a security regression for ordering, scope, and secret isolation.

## Verification

- Five focused workflow-security tests passed.
- Seven focused linker tests passed.
- The exact Daytona preparation command completed locally in nine
seconds.
- Prettier and diff whitespace checks passed.

## Risks

Risk is low and limited to Daytona paid cells. The setup still disables
dependency lifecycle scripts. The trusted step runs before provider
credentials enter the job. Any missing or mismatched path fails closed
before provider startup.

OpenAI GPT-5 Codex with repository tools and code execution.

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their provider runtimes.
> - Paid runner validation installs target dependencies with lifecycle
scripts disabled.
> - OpenCode leaves a sentinel executable until its package lifecycle
script runs.
> - Running arbitrary lifecycle code would weaken the paid-secret

> - This pull request materializes one exact pinned binary before
secrets are exposed.
> - The benefit is working OpenCode validation without trusting
dependency install scripts.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Every local OpenCode paid cell stopped before provider startup because
`pnpm install --ignore-scripts` correctly retained
`opencode-ai/bin/opencode.exe` as a sentinel.

**Expected behavior**

The trusted workflow must make the exact lockfile-pinned OpenCode
executable available without running package lifecycle scripts.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run a local legacy or native OpenCode paid cell from the trusted
workflow after the target dependency install. The provider health check
reports that the OpenCode postinstall script was not run.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Default branch commit `865b4854fb44d3689f1c0ff17e3e715d52aaea73`.

## What Changed

- Materialize only `opencode-linux-x64-baseline@1.18.17` into the
matching `opencode-ai@1.18.17` package.
- Verify package identity, version, regular-file type, SHA-256 equality,
executable permissions, and runtime `--version`.
- Invoke the helper for local OpenCode and breadth cells and for remote
provider-pack assembly.
- Retain `pnpm install --ignore-scripts`.
- Add helper and trusted-workflow security regressions.

## Verification

- Helper syntax checks passed.
- Helper unit tests passed: 2/2.
- Workflow-security tests passed: 5/5.
- Prettier, actionlint, and diff whitespace checks passed.

## Risks

Risk is low and contained to paid runner setup. The helper supports only
Linux x64, fails closed on package or version drift, and runs before
provider credentials enter the job.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Run 33786122875 proved target-lock setup and catalog selection, then
failed before provider creation because trusted master did not yet
qualify the setup-node interpreter. The same workflow also rebuilt
TypeScript and Rust inside every matrix cell.

## What Changed

- Build runner TypeScript and native binaries once per campaign in a
credential-free job.
- Build the remote provider pack once only when selected Daytona cells
require it.
- Upload run-scoped bundles with SHA-256 manifests and verify before
extraction in each paid cell.
- Remove repeated TypeScript, provider-pack, and Rust builds from paid
cells.
- Qualify the local provider Node interpreter before verified launch.
- Propagate the resolved target lockfile through all five target-code
jobs.
- Keep local-only selection off Daytona and exclude Xiaomi from the
67-cell catalog.

## Risks

A shared build artifact could fan out a bad payload to many cells. The
producing jobs receive no provider credentials, use the exact authorized
target SHA and resolved lockfile, and publish run-scoped artifacts.
Every consuming job verifies SHA-256 before extraction. Paid dependency
setup keeps lifecycle scripts disabled and provider credentials remain
scoped to the final test step.

## Verification

- Focused runner workflow-security, catalog, and Daytona-image tests:
25/25 passed.
- Prettier passed.
- Actionlint passed with only the two pre-existing SC2129 style notices
ignored.
- Git diff check passed.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5.

## Checklist

- [x] Build jobs are credential-free.
- [x] Paid installs disable lifecycle scripts.
- [x] Artifacts are run-scoped and digest-verified before extraction.
- [x] Trusted report and history jobs remain isolated from target
artifacts.
- [x] No Daytona or Xiaomi paid run was started for this change.

Dotta 6e50ca9d0a ci(runner): prepare target lockfile once for paid validation (#12774)
## Thinking Path

> - The trusted target-branch runner workflow checks out PR code before
paid tests.
> - PR policy intentionally forbids manual lockfile commits.
> - Some runner changes legitimately alter pnpm patch hashes.
> - Frozen installs therefore fail before test selection.
> - Resolve one script-disabled lockfile from the authorized immutable
target SHA and distribute it by exact artifact ID and digest.
> - Keep provider credentials and trusted reporting outside this
resolution job.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Target-branch paid runner campaigns currently fail frozen install when a
PR changes pnpm patch content, even though ordinary PR CI regenerates
the lockfile.

## What Changed

- Added one credential-free target-lock job that resolves the authorized
immutable target SHA with lifecycle scripts disabled.
- Uploaded the resolved lockfile with its SHA-256 and restored it by
exact artifact ID before every target-code frozen install.
- Left trusted reporting and history jobs on the workflow SHA.
- Changed the disabled-AWS fallback from unavailable ubuntu-latest-m to
ubuntu-latest.

## Risks

The workflow evaluates pnpm lockfile resolution from authorized target
code. That job receives no provider credentials, disables lifecycle
scripts, rejects unrelated workspace mutations, and exposes only a
digest-verified lockfile artifact. Paid-secret jobs consume only that
lockfile after exact artifact-ID and SHA-256 validation.

## Verification

- Runner workflow-security focused tests pass.
- actionlint passes.
- Prettier and git diff checks pass.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5.

## Checklist

- [x] Change is narrowly scoped to paid runner orchestration.
- [x] Target lock resolution has no provider credentials and disables
lifecycle scripts.
- [x] Downloaded artifacts are selected by exact artifact ID and
verified by SHA-256.
- [x] Trusted reporting and history jobs remain on the workflow SHA.

Dotta 98c569b2df ci(runner): allow trusted branch targets (#12768)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip uses paid runner tests to qualify agent execution.
> - The runner workflow controls provider secrets and AWS runner access.
> - The trusted workflow must stay on the protected default branch.
> - The code under test often exists on a branch before merge.
> - CODEOWNERS need a safe way to select that branch.
> - This pull request separates workflow authority from the code under
test.
> - The benefit is pre-merge AWS testing without target-controlled
workflow code.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The manual Runner Full-Stack E2E workflow can test only the default
branch.

**Subsystem affected**

GitHub Actions and the paid runner E2E security boundary.

**Current behavior**

A CODEOWNER must merge runner changes before the trusted AWS workflow
can test them.
Selecting another branch as the workflow ref is rejected.

**Proposed behavior**

A CODEOWNER starts the workflow from `master` and supplies a
same-repository branch in `target_branch`.
The authorization job resolves the branch to one commit SHA.
Catalog, image, and paid test jobs check out that SHA after
authorization.
Report sanitization and AWS publication use the trusted workflow SHA.

**Reason and benefit**

This permits paid pre-merge qualification on AWS.
It keeps the workflow definition, report sanitizer, history publisher,
environment deployment, and runner-group permission on `master`.

**Breaking changes**

None.
The new input is optional.
An omitted input still tests the default branch.

## What Changed

- Add the optional `target_branch` workflow input.
- Resolve only a branch in `paperclipai/paperclip` to an immutable SHA.
- Pin catalog, image, paid test, and Daytona provenance to the target
SHA.
- Pin report sanitization and AWS history publication to the trusted
workflow SHA.
- Disable persisted checkout credentials in every job.
- Key cancellation by the selected target branch.
- Add policy regression coverage and operator documentation.

## Verification

- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:unit` passes with 65 tests.
- `actionlint -ignore SC2129
.github/workflows/runner-full-stack-e2e.yml` passes.
- Prettier checks pass for all changed files.
- `git diff --check` passes.

## Risks

A CODEOWNER can authorize selected branch code to receive a cell-scoped
provider credential.
This is the intended trust decision.
The workflow rejects fork refs and target-controlled workflow
definitions.
The trusted workflow SHA owns report sanitization and AWS history
publication.

Dotta 1b74561fea ci(runner): route paid matrix to AWS fleet (#12765)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents that perform work.
> - The paid runner matrix verifies complete runner behavior with real
providers.
> - Each matrix job currently repeats work on GitHub-hosted runners.
> - Paperclip has an ephemeral AWS runner fleet for trusted workflows.
> - The paid workflow needs a reviewed and fail-closed route to that
fleet.
> - This pull request adds that route and keeps the existing hosted
runner as the disabled-state fallback.
> - The benefit is faster paid campaigns with the same actor,
environment, and secret boundaries.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The Runner Full-Stack E2E workflow always uses `ubuntu-latest-m`. It
limits the matrix to 57 parallel jobs. The repository AWS fleet can run
100 ephemeral jobs, but the paid workflow cannot select it.

**Expected behavior**

An explicit repository flag must select the reviewed AWS fleet label. A
missing or invalid flag must keep the existing hosted runner. The
workflow must authorize the stable actor identity before it routes any
paid job.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Dispatch the Runner Full-Stack E2E workflow from `master`.
2. Inspect a paid matrix job.
3. Observe that the job requests `ubuntu-latest-m` even when the AWS
fleet should be used.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`da0947d3582ac7779d6bf11851c9938eca6c5c8c`

**Deployment mode**

GitHub Actions paid runner campaign.

## What Changed

- Add a fail-closed `RUNNER_E2E_AWS_ENABLED` switch.
- Select only the reviewed AWS fleet label or the existing hosted label.
- Permit up to 100 parallel jobs in AWS mode.
- Keep the hosted-runner limit at 57.
- Reauthorize paid execution before checkout and provider access.
- Stop paid checkouts from storing GitHub credentials.
- Cancel superseded validation-ref campaigns while preserving `master`
audit runs.
- Add workflow policy checks and operator documentation.

## Verification

- `git diff --check`
- `actionlint -ignore SC2129
.github/workflows/runner-full-stack-e2e.yml`
- The organization runner group permits this workflow only from
`refs/heads/master`.
- The repository AWS switch remains disabled until this pull request is
merged and a one-cell probe succeeds.

## Risks

- A wrong fleet policy can leave jobs queued. The disabled state keeps
the existing hosted runner.
- The AWS fleet uses paid compute. The workflow validates a configured
maximum of 100 jobs.
- The runner group, actor allowlist, and paid environment remain
separate enforcement layers.

Dotta 0f94521017 fix(runner): restore local session and task integrity (#12721)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the control plane for agents that perform work.
> - Paperclip Runner connects durable provider sessions to individual
task runs through PRP.
> - Provider continuity and per-run authority are different lifetimes.
> - The existing implementation mixed those lifetimes and lost event
metadata between provider frames, runnerd, persistence, API
sanitization, and the task thread.
> - That caused failed continuation, missing progress and Plans,
duplicate replies, hidden failures, and unsafe recovery.
> - This repair gives every heartbeat fresh authority, preserves
qualified provider-session continuity, and restores one lossless
presentation path without changing direct adapters.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A second native heartbeat could reuse tickets, leases, command receipts,
sequence state, and run identity from the first heartbeat. Provider
phase and item identity could be lost before the UI read them. Redaction
could corrupt protocol discriminators while still missing malformed
credential tails. The task thread could fold progress into the final
response, hide failures, or show more than one final answer. Native
Codex also exposed approval modes that do not yet have a durable
approval bridge.

**Expected behavior**

Each heartbeat uses a new PRP authority epoch. Codex and OpenCode
preserve exact qualified provider sessions; ACPX emits an explicit
continuity event when its qualified process-replacement policy is used.
Every accepted provider event is presented, classified as internal, or
surfaced as unsupported. The task page shows chronological progress,
reasoning summaries, activity, Plans, interactions, terminal failures,
and exactly one final reply. Direct adapters retain their existing path.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Enable the unified experimental Paperclip Runner setting.
2. Create a local native Codex, OpenCode, ACPX Claude, or ACPX Codex
agent.
3. Run response, Plan, structured-question/resume, restart,
cancellation, and failure scenarios.
4. Reload the task while active, waiting, failed, and settled.
5. On the old implementation, observe stale run authority, missing
classifications, incomplete output, or duplicated/folded replies.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The repair is based directly on `master` at
`87d05e194b643810d16d20612115acd01d735d43`.

**Deployment mode**

Local development with the embedded database.

Related work: Refs #12616, #12646, #12666, #12685, and #12700.

## What Changed

- Rotates PRP control-plane, outbox, ticket, lease, command, receipt,
and sequence authority for each heartbeat while carrying forward only a
validated provider-session identity.
- Reads `control-plane-state.json`, validates both durable schemas and
lifecycle values, resumes coherent current runs, archives qualified
settled authority, and quarantines malformed or mismatched scoped state
without moving ambiguous live legacy state.
- Preserves Codex provider phase and stable item identities so
commentary remains progress and only `final_answer` becomes final.
- Adds raw OpenCode HTTP/SSE boundary coverage and canonical reasoning
lifecycle mapping.
- Makes ACPX normalization lossless for visible reasoning, tool
lifecycle metadata, stable bounded identities, Plan revisions,
structured requests, failures, and qualified process replacement. Only
the compatible terminal assistant message is promoted as final.
- Applies schema-aware redaction before generic JWT-shaped detection and
scans every diagnostic string leaf. Malformed raw/escaped quoted
credential tails are redacted in both server and durable Rust state.
- Restores snapshot-style chronological task presentation, expandable
tool activity, inline Plan cards, visible waiting/resume/cancel/failure
states, and exactly one final answer.
- Makes `never` the only qualified native Codex permission mode and
rejects unsupported persisted native modes with remediation. OpenCode
and ACPX policies remain intact.
- Keeps the unified experimental Runner setting as the only enablement
flag. Onboarding and direct Codex, Claude, and OpenCode stay on their
legacy execution/finalization paths.
- Adds cross-language goldens, authority/recovery/fault coverage, exact
response/count assertions, and native plus legacy acceptance scenarios.

## Verification

- Pull-request GitHub Actions run Rust formatting/tests, TypeScript
checks, server/UI tests, builds, protocol drift checks, browser E2E, and
security scans.
- A separate workflow-only validation ref is pinned directly on this PR
head and runs the 35-cell paid local matrix: three core scenarios plus
structured-question resume and restart/resume for native Codex, native
OpenCode, ACPX Claude, ACPX Codex, and direct Codex/Claude/OpenCode.
Run: https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/33682434315
- Acceptance requires exact single visible replies, monotonic sequences,
matching envelope discriminators, one semantic terminal, one run
terminal, no unresolved interaction, no duplicate mutation, no secret
leakage, provider continuity, and zero native rows for direct adapters.
- Per maintainer direction, tests are running in GitHub Actions rather
than on the slower local host. Only formatters and static diff checks
were run locally.

## Risks

- Recovery from old or partial filesystem state is sensitive. The repair
fails closed, preserves active or unverifiable authority, and
quarantines only state whose scoped ownership is safe to move.
- Provider event formats can change. Closed validators and boundary
goldens turn new or malformed events into visible diagnostics instead of
silent drops.
- Shared task presentation could affect direct adapters. Runtime-fact
gating plus the direct-adapter matrix protect the existing path.
- Managed and remote providers are not qualified here. Shared code
continues to compile and fail safely, but live qualification is
deferred.

Dotta 5716fe907e test(runner): add full-stack acceptance and eval gates (#12700)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The runner subsystem executes agent work across local and managed
provider backends.
> - The lower pull requests restore the task runtime, provider backends,
and managed-provider control plane.
> - The restored system needs repeatable full-stack checks before it can
ship safely.
> - Paid live checks also need clear access, cost, and secret controls.
> - This pull request adds acceptance, live evaluation, chaos, and
release gates for the restored runner stack.
> - The benefit is measurable runner parity with safer release
decisions.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting. This change covers runner tests, release workflows,
server contracts, and evaluation tools.

**Problem or motivation**

The runner stack did not have one complete acceptance surface for native
Codex, ACPX, Claude Managed, and AWS AgentCore. Release checks could
miss provider drift, task-view regressions, cost-policy errors, and
destructive cleanup errors.

**Proposed solution**

Add a 57-cell full-stack catalog, a Daytona image, and opt-in paid
workflows. Add live evaluation, chaos, cost-limit, redaction, and
release contract checks. Add AWS AgentCore infrastructure and guarded
provisioning tools. Keep the native runner experimental flag off by
default.

**Alternatives considered**

We considered manual smoke tests only. They do not give repeatable
evidence and they do not protect release branches. We also considered
one large pull request. The stacked pull requests keep each review below
the Greptile file limit.

**Roadmap alignment**

This work supports the shipped Cloud / Sandbox agents milestone and the
shipped Agent evals & feedback milestone in `ROADMAP.md`.

Related stack:

- #12699 adds managed provider backends and lifecycle support.
- #12691 adds qualified OpenCode and ACPX provider backends.
- #12685 restores task runtime rendering and steering.

## What Changed

- Add the runner full-stack harness with 57 catalog cells and 60 unit
tests.
- Add a Daytona runner image with digest-pinned base images and
base-aware image-content checks.
- Add guarded live evaluation and chaos workflows with a fixed
40-execution matrix; live and full-stack paid schedules now run only on
Sundays or by manual dispatch.
- Add in-flight reported-usage cost stops, post-turn cost caps,
exact-threshold failure classification, secret redaction, retry
classification, and actor authorization.
- Reattach stream and hard-budget listeners before restart-recovery
continuations so restored paid sessions cannot bypass in-flight
interruption.
- Preserve OpenCode usage and cost across tool-loop messages and turns
while exposing an explicit current-run delta to durable accounting.
- Keep PNG/WebM evidence in access-controlled artifacts only, reject
SVG, and publish only pruned inert structured per-attempt evidence.
- Add AWS AgentCore infrastructure, provisioning checks, and smoke
tools; reject unsafe model identifiers, require exact stack ownership
markers, and make failed-stack replacement explicit.
- Add evaluation-session contracts and capability reports.
- Add release workflow checks for immutable action pins, frozen
dependency installs, exact weekly cron shape, paid-run guards,
provider-secret isolation, and chaos test paths.
- Reauthorize the original and triggering numeric actor IDs as the first
step of every provider-secret job, including partial reruns, before
checkout or provider access.
- Give each full-stack matrix cell only its matching provider
credential, expose Daytona only to Daytona cells, and disable shared
dependency caches anywhere paid credentials or OIDC write access are
present.
- Protect the legacy manual E2E workflow with the same default-branch,
allowlist, environment, and per-job authorization boundary.
- Rotate live-eval candidates by week and retain 120 days of compatible
history so the seven-week trend window remains viable.
- Restore the root runner-acceptance commands and reconcile reported
snapshots,
raw receipts, and terminal usage without double counting or losing late
usage.
- Mark ACPX token deltas exact only when every budget field is present,
keep
cumulative cost/request authority separate, reject non-USD cost
labeling,
  and include thought tokens in output-token budgets.
- Keep `enableNativeRunner` off by default. The acceptance harness
enables it only in its isolated test instance.

- The rebased PR changes 92 files. `pnpm-lock.yaml` is unchanged.

I did not run paid live provider jobs or provision AWS resources. Those
checks need credentials and can create cost.

## Risks

The paid workflows can create provider cost. They require an allowlisted
original and triggering actor, the protected `runner-e2e-paid`
environment, explicit opt-in variables, and cost limits. The four
provider credentials exist only in that master-only environment, which
requires allowlisted reviewer approval and disables administrator
bypass; repository and organization Actions scopes contain no copies.

Provider usage arrives after a billable request, so the live guard
cannot prevent one request from crossing a threshold. It interrupts
immediately on the first reported threshold hit and permits no
continuation.

Visual evidence can contain secrets rendered as pixels. PNG/WebM remain
only in access-controlled workflow artifacts; SVG and per-attempt XML
are excluded, and S3/Pages receive a pruned structured dashboard.

The AWS scripts can create cloud resources. They use explicit commands,
least-privilege roles, KMS encryption, saved nonsecret metadata, and
explicit teardown.

This pull request does not enable the experimental native runner for
existing instances.
