## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native warm runs on a remote sandbox continue a saved session in the
next run. The next run first reads the retained Runner lifecycle from
the sandbox.
> - #20346 abandons the workspace epoch of a run that died during
preparation. The next run then restores the last save into a new
directory of the same sandbox.
> - The retained-sandbox binding check required the old and the new
directory to be the same. The warm follow-up failed with
`native_controller_recovery_missing_evidence:retained_sandbox_binding`
before provider work.
> - The failed run's no-replay hold then refused its files with
`allocation_ownership_ambiguous`. The task stayed blocked. The text said
that Retry "succeeds only after Paperclip is updated", so no click could
help.
> - This pull request binds the Runner read to the directory that the
retained lease recorded, and lets the existing retained-source fallback
settle these holds from the last save.
> - The benefit is that a moved workspace continues its session, and a
hold that cannot be verified continues automatically instead of
dead-ending.

Refs #20346

**What happened?**
On staging, a warm native continuation ran about 10 minutes after a
deploy. The run before it died during preparation (database deadlock),
so its workspace epoch was abandoned. The continuation restored the last
save into a new allocation directory of the same Daytona sandbox. It
then failed with
`native_controller_recovery_missing_evidence:retained_sandbox_binding`,
because the retained lease of the committed source run recorded the old
directory. The failure recorded a no-replay hold
(`native_continuation_requires_reconciliation`, resolved with outcome
`blocked`). Workspace recovery refused the source with
`allocation_ownership_ambiguous`, because the sandbox's reusable-lease
chain had predecessors in another directory and a non-native
preparation-only run. The task stayed blocked with "Retry runs the check
again and succeeds only after Paperclip is updated."

**Expected behavior**
The continuation reads the retained Runner state from the directory
where that Runner wrote it, and continues. When retained files cannot be
verified, the task continues from the last committed save without a
person.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a warm native session on a reusable remote sandbox and let it
commit.
2. Fail the next run during preparation, so that its epoch is abandoned
(#20346).
3. Start the next warm continuation. It restores the last save into a
new allocation directory and fails with `retained_sandbox_binding`.
4. See the hold refuse its source with `allocation_ownership_ambiguous`
and stay blocked.

**Paperclip version or commit**
Staging `c874cfa4dacc` (includes #20346).

## What Changed

- `assertNativeRetainedSandboxBinding` now returns the directory that
the retained lease recorded. It accepts a different target directory
only when both are canonical sibling allocations of the same execution
workspace under the sandbox's `.paperclip-workspaces` (`<workspaceId>`
or `<workspaceId>-<epoch>-<leaseId>`). Same sandbox (`providerLeaseId`),
environment, run, issue and committed owner are still required. Other
directories stay refused.
- `restoreRemoteSuspendedRunnerCheckpoint` reads the Runner state from
that recorded directory. A moved source must be suspended and settled. A
Runner left in the old allocation is never adopted live.
- The retained-source fallback (`continueFromLastSavedWorkspace`) and
its discovery now also cover the native no-replay hold
(`native_continuation_requires_reconciliation`, active or resolved with
outcome `blocked`, replay blocked for the same run). Rows saved by
earlier releases are discovered without migration.
- The fallback owns the Blocked status of such a hold only while the
recorded `nativeFailureBlock` status version still matches the task.
Otherwise it keeps the newer block and starts no continuation.
- The refusal text no longer says "succeeds only after Paperclip is
updated", and it promises no fallback.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md` describes both rules.

## Verification

- Red (unfixed code): `native-controller-recovery.integration.test.ts`
"binds a retained Runner read to the source's directory after the
workspace moved within the same sandbox" failed with
`native_controller_recovery_missing_evidence:retained_sandbox_binding`
at `native-controller-recovery.ts:145`, the staging error.
- Red (unfixed code): `workspace-recovery-fallback.test.ts` "continues a
resolved-but-blocked native no-replay hold from the last save,
discovered by the worker" failed: the worker found no due work for the
exact staging row. The newer-block safety case and the message case in
`system-recovery-state.test.ts` also failed.
- Provider boundary: a new test drives
`restoreRemoteSuspendedRunnerCheckpoint` through a sandbox runner that
refuses paths outside the sandbox workspace base. The suspended case
reads `runner-state.json` from the source directory, never the moved
root. The ready case is refused with `runner_not_settled` and caches
nothing.
- Green: `native-controller-recovery.integration.test.ts`,
`workspace-recovery-fallback.test.ts` and
`system-recovery-state.test.ts` pass (45 tests). The neighbouring suites
`workspace-recovery-retry-copyback`,
`workspace-recovery-preparation-gates` and
`workspace-recovery-stop-proof` pass (135 tests).
- Safety cases: another workspace, another parent, a non-canonical path
or name (`-0-`, trailing text), `/unrelated` and another sandbox stay
refused. A hold whose task moved to a newer Blocked decision keeps the
block and starts no continuation. Exactly one continuation is delivered.
Native replacement is denied for the abandoned source, so no second
executor starts.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json` passes. `pnpm verify`
returns exit 2 (a global doc input changed), so required CI supplies the
broad coverage.

## Risks

- Previous-release state: rows saved by earlier releases carry forward
without migration. The binding reads existing lease metadata. The
fallback discovers existing resolved-but-blocked holds by their existing
evidence fields.
- The binding now accepts a sibling allocation directory. The read still
binds to the exact sandbox, run, environment and committed owner, and it
reads only the source's recorded directory. A non-suspended Runner in a
moved allocation is refused, not adopted.
- The fallback abandons the unverified epoch and continues from the last
committed save with a fresh session. In the staging shape the run did no
provider work after it restored that save, so no work is lost.
Unverified files are attached to the task when they can be read, as
before.
- Not verified live: a real warm Codex resume after a moved allocation
on Daytona.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 99edcd28a7 perf(attention): read each retention candidate kind in its own bounded branch (#20566)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The attention retention worker archives old "Needs you" items, such
as open decisions, pending questions, failed runs and items in review
> - To find its work, the worker reads a page of retention candidates.
It reads one page per changed scope, and one single-source read for each
check of a due item
> - On a hosted stack this candidate read ran 2,835 times at about 1 s
per call, 4,201 s of database time in one afternoon window
> - The read built every candidate of every kind before it applied the
keyset limit. Its company and source filters used the `param is null or
column = param` form. Under a generic prepared plan these filters cannot
use an index. The failed-run branch also matched retry receipts with a
bound LIKE parameter, so it could not use the partial index
`heartbeat_run_events_retry_exhausted_idx`
> - This pull request reads each kind in its own branch, puts every
filter into that branch, and limits each branch to one page
> - The benefit is a bounded read for each page, and a primary-key read
for each single-source check, with the same rows, order and cursors

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The attention retention candidate scan in
`server/src/services/attention-retention.ts`.

**Subsystem affected**
Server: attention retention background work (database reads only).

**Current behavior**
Each page reads all candidates of all selected kinds, then sorts them
and keeps 100. Optional filters use `($n is null or column = $n)`. A
generic prepared plan cannot use an index for these filters. The
single-source check compares `id::text`, so it cannot use the primary
key. The retry receipt LIKE pattern is a parameter, so the plan cannot
use the partial receipt index.

**Proposed behavior**
Each kind is one branch with its company, source, issue and keyset
filters inside it and `limit 100`. Kinds before the cursor are not read.
A source id filter uses the uuid primary key. The receipt pattern is a
SQL literal that matches the partial index predicate. The page result
does not change.

Refs #20386 (adds the partial receipt index that this branch now uses).

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/attention-retention.ts`: replace the single union
scan with `candidateQuery`. Each source kind is a branch that has its
own filters, retention join and one-page limit. The outer query still
orders by `(source_kind, source_id)` and keeps 100 rows.
- Only add a filter when the scope sets it. There is no `param is null
or ...` form now.
- A single-source read compares `id = $uuid`. It returns no rows for
text that is not the canonical lowercase uuid form. The former `id::text
= $text` comparison also never matched such text.
- Skip the kinds that come before the keyset cursor kind.
`ATTENTION_RETENTION_KIND_ORDER` holds the kind order, and a test checks
it against the database collation.
- The failed-run branch matches `'Bounded retry exhausted%'` as a
literal, so it reads `heartbeat_run_events_retry_exhausted_idx`.
- Export `listAttentionRetentionCandidates` for the test and the
benchmark. The service uses it without a change in behavior.
- New test
`server/src/__tests__/attention-retention-candidates.test.ts`. It runs
on real PostgreSQL and compares every page, row and cursor with the
former scan (kept in the test as an oracle). It covers: one company, all
companies, one kind, the blocker kind (which ignores retention), an
unknown kind, issue scopes (including uppercase and malformed ids),
exact source ids (uppercase, braces, no dashes, empty and malformed text
return nothing), a `null` source id from a decoded scope, other-company
isolation, inactive companies, kept and archived retention, and failed
runs without a lifecycle receipt.
- New benchmark `scripts/benchmark-attention-retention-candidates.ts`.
It loads the baseline service from git, captures the SQL that each
version sends for the same scopes, and times both under custom and
generic plans. Each round alternates the order. It fails if the rows
differ.
- No migration. The existing indexes cover each branch: company and
status indexes on each source table, the issues company/status index,
and the partial receipt index from #20386.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/attention-retention-candidates.test.ts`: 10 passed.
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/attention-retention-work.test.ts`: see the note under
Risks.
- `cd server && npx tsc --noEmit`: pass.
- Benchmark (local SQL measurement only):
`pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsx

- The timing connection uses named prepared statements, as the server
does by default. The benchmark checks `pg_prepared_statements` before it
collects samples, so the samples reuse the parsed statement.
- The driver uses named prepared statements by default, so after five
runs PostgreSQL can switch a statement to a generic plan. The generic
rows are the relevant case for a busy server. Custom plans were already
good for most scopes, and the change is neutral there.
- Plan after the change (company page, generic): the failed-run branch
reads the partial receipt index (13 blocks), then probes
`heartbeat_runs` by primary key. The single-source check reads each
primary key and the retention unique index (10 blocks in all).

## Risks

- Low behavior risk. The test compares the new pages with the former
query on the same data, including cursors in the middle of a kind and at
kind boundaries.
- Kind skipping depends on the order of kind names. Every kind name is
different from the others before its first underscore, so C and
linguistic collations give the same order. A test checks the order
against the database.
- The benchmark fixture is smaller than the hosted database. The hosted
cost (about 1 s per call) is larger than the local baseline. I did not
measure the hosted improvement. It needs a fresh query-statistics window
after deploy.
- On this loaded local machine, one full run of
`attention-retention-work.test.ts` had 3 tests time out at 30 s (no-run
issue finalization, no-run workspace finalization, and interaction
create/withdraw). The same 3 tests pass when run alone. CI is the
authority for this suite.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 faaae003a9 perf(chat): find the conversation head from open delivery work (#20564)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - External chat messages go into a durable delivery queue. Each
conversation drains in provider order.
> - Each drain step reads the head of one conversation. The head query
filters one endpoint's deliveries by state and thread.
> - On a hosted instance, this query ran about 10,000 times at about 300
ms each. The database was busy, and request reads waited behind
background work.
> - PostgreSQL read every processed delivery of the endpoint and its
`normalized_event` value to find a few open rows.
> - This pull request finds the endpoint's open delivery IDs first and
fetches only those rows.
> - The benefit is less background database load. The selected head and
the delivery order do not change.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The inbound conversation head query
(`earliestOpenConversationDelivery`).

**Subsystem affected**
Server chat inbound delivery queue.

**Current behavior**
The query has `endpoint_id = $1 and (state in ('received', 'retry',
'processing') or (state = 'processed' and <pending inbound wake>))`, a
thread filter on `normalized_event`, and a sort on `normalized_event`
keys. No index matches the `or`. PostgreSQL scans all deliveries of the
endpoint. For each row it reads `normalized_event` to test the thread.
It also reads all of `chat_actions` to build the pending-wake set. A
busy endpoint keeps all of its processed history, so the cost grows with
that history.

**Proposed behavior**
The query selects `id in (<open delivery IDs of the endpoint>)`. That
set is a `union all` of two small reads:
- received, retry and processing deliveries of the endpoint, through the
existing `chat_deliveries_work_idx`;
- processed deliveries that an issued or processing `inbound_wakeup`
action of the same endpoint (and company) still owns.

PostgreSQL fetches only those rows by primary key, then applies the same
reaction, thread and order rules.

**Reason and benefit**
The cost no longer grows with processed history. On a local fixture with
60,000 processed deliveries, the head query reads 1,309 shared buffers
instead of 262,630.

**Breaking changes**
None. There is no schema change, migration, API change, timer or poll
change.

Related work: #17971 changed the pending-wake predicate of the same
queue. #20400 added the index for the other chat delivery statement in
the same report (`select state ...
normalized_event->'githubAutomatic'->'context'->>'deliveryId'`). That
statement already uses the #20400 index on master, so this pull request
does not change it.

## What Changed

- `delivery-ledger.ts`: add `openConversationDeliveryIds(endpointId)`.
It returns the endpoint's open delivery IDs. It selects the same set as
the old state predicate for that endpoint.
- `conversation-queue.ts`: the conversation head query uses `id in
(openConversationDeliveryIds(endpointId))` in place of the state `or`.
The thread filter, reaction exclusion, order, limit and lifecycle
dependency read do not change.
- `inbound-queue-discovery.test.ts`: add a real PostgreSQL test. It
compares the new set with the old predicate on three endpoints. It
covers each state, issued and processing wakes, duplicate wakes, wakes
of non-processed deliveries, processed, other-kind and null-delivery
actions, an action on a different endpoint of the same company, and
reactions. It also checks that the real captured head query returns the
oracle's first row.
- `benchmark-inbound-queue-discovery.ts`: add
`--endpoint-history=<rows>` (a busy endpoint with 4 KiB payloads) and
`--only=<fixture>`. Add a work budget: the treatment head query must
visit at most 100 delivery rows on the history fixtures.
- `doc/DATABASE.md`: describe the head query and the benchmark command.

## Verification

Local SQL measurements. PostgreSQL 17.10 (Postgres.app, macOS arm64),
disposable database, synthetic data, default settings with 256 MB shared
buffers. The host was under heavy load from other work, so timings are
noisy. Shared buffers and visited rows are stable. Each arm has two
warmups and five alternating samples (median [min..max]). Baseline:
`origin/master` at `8d2bf78323`.

| Fixture | Query | Baseline | Treatment | Shared buffers | Delivery
rows visited | Output |
| --- | --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | --- |
| 60,000 processed, 4 KiB | head | 290.09 ms [220.21..554.19] | 7.34 ms
[5.85..7.68] | 262,630 → 1,309 | 60,002 → 4 | Equal |
| 20,000 processed, 4 KiB | head | 276.02 ms [211.77..322.12] | 34.61 ms
[4.45..194.15] | 67,618 → 486 | 20,002 → 4 | Equal |
| 1,500 processed, 32 KiB | head | 15.88 ms [13.66..21.79] | 2.29 ms
[1.64..7.75] | 10,602 → 80 | 1,502 → 4 | Equal |
| 20 processed | head | 1.49 ms [0.92..3.66] | 1.85 ms [1.01..1.97] | 2
→ 45 | 22 → 968 | Equal |

- The deadline and ready selectors do not change. Their buffers are
identical in both arms; their timings move only with host noise.
- The small control is neutral. On a near-empty table, PostgreSQL picks
a sequential scan for the open-state branch. This costs about 45
buffers.
- The 60,000-row run passes `--require-work-budget`. The baseline
exceeds the budget (`baselineExceedsWorkBudget: true`). This is the
red/green proof. There is no timing threshold in CI.
- On the treatment, the remaining head cost is the scan of
`chat_actions` for pending wakes of the endpoint. The baseline also
reads all of `chat_actions` for its hashed subplan.
- `pnpm exec vitest run src/__tests__/inbound-queue-discovery.test.ts`
(server): 6 tests pass, including the new equivalence test.
- `chat-channels.integration.test.ts` filtered with `-t
"reorder|orders|FIFO|conversation drain|lease renewal|receipt
order|edit|lifecycle"`: 148 assembled chat tests pass. They cover Slack,
Teams, Telegram, Discord and GitHub provider-order drains, head-of-line
barriers, lease loss, lifecycle edits and wake retries.
- `pnpm exec tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json` (server) passes.

Reproduce:

```sh
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsx ../scripts/benchmark-inbound-queue-discovery.ts --baseline-ref=8d2bf78323 --endpoint-history=60000 --only=endpoint-history --require-work-budget
```

Set `PAPERCLIP_TEST_POSTGRES_ADMIN_URL` to use an existing disposable
PostgreSQL server. The benchmark uses synthetic data only.

## Risks

- Query plans depend on data and settings. These local numbers do not
prove hosted request latency. A follow-up statistics window after deploy
must confirm the gain.
- The pending-wake branch still scans the endpoint's `chat_actions`. A
partial index on pending `inbound_wakeup` actions would remove that
scan. I did not add it, to avoid a migration.
- Low behavior risk. The new set equals the old predicate for each
endpoint, and the order expression is unchanged. Tests compare both on
the same rows.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, with tool use (shell,
file edit) in Claude Code. Extended reasoning was used.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 56aa160a4e perf(native): index heartbeat runs by company and native session (#20560)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native runs share a native session. Retention, recovery, resume and
archive code reads all runs of one session from `heartbeat_runs`.
> - On a hosted instance, the native retention lookup ran about 67,000
times in one day at about 22 ms, and about 10,000 times at about 11 ms
in a later window.
> - No index has `native_session_id`. Each read walks the agent's or the
company's run history and filters the rows.
> - This pull request adds one concurrent partial index on `(company_id,
native_session_id)`. The SQL does not change.
> - The benefit is less background database load. Request reads wait
less, and the results stay the same.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The native session-run lookups. The largest caller is
`sessionRetentionBlocker` in native harness backup and checkpoint
retention. It selects `id, status, finished_at`, an incomplete-recovery
flag and the issue ID for one company, agent and native session.

**Subsystem affected**
Server native runtime (retention, recovery, resume and archive reads)
and the database schema.

**Current behavior**
`heartbeat_runs` has no index on `native_session_id`. PostgreSQL reads
the whole run history of the company (or of the agent through
`heartbeat_runs_company_agent_started_idx`) and filters by session. The
cost grows with the run history, not with the size of the session.

**Proposed behavior**
The index finds the few runs of one session directly. Every caller
already filters by `company_id` and `native_session_id`, so one index
serves the agent-scoped and the issue-scoped reads.

**Reason and benefit**
This statement family used about 1,500 s of database time in one day on
a busy hosted database. The local proof below shows 12.3 ms to 0.04 ms
per call.

## What Changed

- `packages/db`: add `heartbeat_runs_company_native_session_idx` on
`(company_id, native_session_id) WHERE native_session_id IS NOT NULL`.
Migration `0457_native_session_run_index` builds it with `CREATE INDEX
CONCURRENTLY IF NOT EXISTS`. The migration is registered as a
top-level-statement migration, the same way as 0454–0456.
- Add a regression test in `native-harness-backup-expiration.test.ts`.
It captures the real retention lookup and proves that its plan can use
the index. It also pins the company and session scope: a live run of
another company with the same session ID does not protect a checkpoint.
A live run of the same agent in another session does not protect it. A
live run of the same session does protect it.
- Add `scripts/benchmark-native-session-run-index.ts`. It runs the real
checkpoint retention pass (dry run), captures the exact SQL, and replays
it with and without the index. It also times the migration through the
normal migration runner.
- `doc/DATABASE.md`: describe the index and the benchmark command.

## Verification

Local SQL measurements, synthetic data. PostgreSQL 18.1 (embedded test
server). Fixture: 100,000 runs (50,000 of the measured agent, 50,000 of
a second agent), 4 runs per session, 4 KiB incompressible
`runner_profile_json` per run, 638 MB table. Order: no index, index, no
index, index. 15 `EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, BUFFERS)` samples after 3 warmups.

| Pass | Plan | Median execution | Min / max | Shared buffers |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| No index (1) | Seq Scan | 12.30 ms | 10.33 / 35.27 ms | 3,607 |
| Index (2) | Index Scan using
`heartbeat_runs_company_native_session_idx` | 0.036 ms | 0.021 / 0.115
ms | 38 |
| No index (3) | Seq Scan | 12.38 ms | 10.24 / 26.14 ms | 3,607 |
| Index (4) | Index Scan using
`heartbeat_runs_company_native_session_idx` | 0.043 ms | 0.022 / 0.098
ms | 38 |

- Correctness: the service SQL is the same in every pass. The returned
rows (all columns) and the retention result are equal in every pass. The
script fails on any difference.
- Migration: the first run through the migration runner took 525 ms on
the 638 MB fixture. The rerun took 273 ms and skipped the existing
index. A direct concurrent build took 145–221 ms. Index size: 1.9 MB.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsx
../scripts/benchmark-native-session-run-index.ts`
- `npx vitest run
src/__tests__/native-harness-backup-expiration.test.ts` (server): 108
passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db check:migrations`: passed. Five
snapshots remain.
- `pnpm verify` exits 2 (a new script under `scripts/` is a global CI
input). Required CI supplies the broad coverage.

## Risks

- Low risk. The migration adds one index concurrently and does not lock
writes. The SQL of every caller is unchanged.
- The index adds a small write cost to `heartbeat_runs` inserts and to
updates of `native_session_id`. Rows with a null session are not
indexed.
- Persisted run state: no saved run, session or checkpoint shape
changes. State saved by the previous release carries forward unchanged.
- Hosted latency is not measured yet. The numbers above are local SQL
measurements.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (Anthropic), model ID `claude-opus-5-5`, used through
Claude Code with tool use (shell, file edits, local PostgreSQL).

DottaandPaperclip ce1ee9e89f fix: stop prompts from encouraging subtasks (#20362)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents read runtime prompts, tool help, skills, and role
instructions.
> - Several of these texts tell agents to create child tasks as a normal
next step.
> - One accepted-plan prompt even forbids work on the current task.
> - Task parentage is useful, but it does not need a prompt that
encourages task creation.
> - This pull request removes those prompts and keeps the task APIs
available.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #10642. This change adjusts prompt wording; it does not add
delegation-cycle guards.

**Current behavior**
Prompts tell agents to create children after plan approval, use children
for long work, and create a task just to pass context. Onboarding
requires a child even for a single request.

**Proposed behavior**
Continue work on the current task. Keep explicit assignments, optional
task creation, parentage, dependencies, and approval gates. Use the
separate-task recipes when the user requests that structure or when
continuing existing work.

**Reason and benefit**
Reduce needless task trees without removing subtask support. Keep the
patch limited to wording, existing test expectations, and generated
catalog data.

## What Changed

- Align accepted-plan prompts and remove direct child-creation advice
from runtime and error text.
- Make task tool descriptions neutral. Keep their fields, defaults, and
handlers.
- Update the main skill, onboarding, CEO instructions, company
templates, specialist workflows, and matching guides.
- Keep historical release snapshots intact. Refresh the explicitly
seeded schema fixture's catalog digest; the server still verifies
historical release snapshot hashes.
- Refresh the affected generated catalogs, capability inventory,
semantic contracts, and fixture manifest.

## Verification

- Final tested head: `c6e304d0c105cdbfbe0b2ab0a233307fcd91a04b`.
- All 66 check runs are complete: 60 pass, one is neutral, and five are
skipped by CI conditions. Snyk also passes. No checks fail or remain
pending.
- [PR
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42846226554)
passes typecheck, build, server/general tests, all eight E2E shards,
Runner support, Runner Rust, and the aggregate verify gate.
[Windows](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42846226546)
and [Docker
Runner](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42846226108)
also pass.
-
[Greptile](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/20362#issuecomment-6751419835)
and [Paperclip
review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/20362#issuecomment-6751454010)
give this exact head 5/5. All six inline threads are resolved. Neither
current summary has findings.
- Merged master `bf0220d34a156c81853755c3d1365ddc527037de`. Resolved
three generated-file conflicts with the canonical generators.
- Local verification passes: 473 focused prompt, continuation, UI,
catalog, runtime and native-execution tests; Runner TypeScript build;
generated metadata; UI token gates; and diff checks.
- The prior head `c22018cb0f` failed three SDK evidence tests because
two source hashes were stale. Reproduced all three failures locally. The
existing generator refreshed only the hashes for the denial-copy file
and its test. All 53 affected evidence/source-pin tests then passed,
including private-value rejection. No scanner logic, assertions, or
runtime dependency pins changed. Current CI confirms the support suite
passes.
- A prior commit failed the Rust process reaping test. Its cause remains
unproven. No Rust code or assertions changed. Later Rust runs pass; this
does not establish the cause of the earlier failure.
- Local preflight built shared/plugin SDK packages, then stopped because
`cargo` is absent. Current-head CI supplies Rust and full build
coverage. `pnpm verify --explain` selects broad required CI; full local
suites were not repeated.

## Risks

- Wording changes guide the model; they do not enforce a ban on
subtasks.
- Existing installed skill versions and saved custom instructions need
their normal refresh process. This PR does not migrate company
configuration.
- Existing approved task assignments and approval gates remain in
effect.

## Model Used

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 e5abcbf7a9 fix(native): release a restart claim that lapsed during a failed preparation (#20529)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - After a restart, native restart recovery claims an unfinished run
and prepares it again on the same heartbeat run.
> - The restart claim holds a lease on the run's native coordinator row.
For a remote claim with durable authority, the lease is 60 s.
> - When that preparation fails, the failure path first preserves the
remote workspace. Then it settles the run.
> - When preparation outlived the claim lease, preservation took the
run's own lapsed claim for another owner. It threw
`NativeWorkspaceFinalizationBusyError`, and the execution returned
without settling. The run stayed `running` with no event until a later
scan reclaimed it (4.5 min in one wave, never in another).
> - This pull request releases exactly that lapsed claim and asks
restart recovery to decide on the run right away. It also logs the cause
when the failure path defers.
> - The benefit is that a failed restart-claim preparation is reclaimed
or blocked visibly within seconds, instead of hanging.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20514 (the same restart-chaos investigation).

**What happened?**
In restart-chaos wave `w-20261110T101517-s11936` (Daytona R1, K2, ST1),
run `9d39550a` got a `bootstrap_incomplete` restart claim (generation
3). Its `heartbeat.prepare.run_output` step waited 141 s through an ST1
storage outage. The 60 s claim lease lapsed meanwhile, and the begin
failed with `run_log_writer_authority_lost` when storage came back. The
inner failure path then called `preserveNativeFailedWorkspace`. Its
`ownsClaim` check required an unexpired lease, so the run's own claim
counted as another owner and the call threw
`NativeWorkspaceFinalizationBusyError`.
`preserveNativeWorkspaceOnFailure` set `nativeOwnershipHeld` and the
execution returned before `runCompletion.failRun`. No failure was
recorded, and nothing was logged. The run stayed `running` until a later
scan reclaimed it 4.5 minutes later. In a second wave no such scan came,
and the run stayed `running` for 30 minutes.

**Expected behavior**
A failed preparation must settle or retry, or be claimed promptly by its
next owner. It must not stay `running` with no record.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Claim a remote native run for restart recovery.
2. Keep its preparation busy past the 60 s claim lease, for example with
a storage outage during `runOutput.begin`.
3. Let preparation fail. The run stays `running` with no failure event.

**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at 23fa37f5bb.

## What Changed

- `native-execution-lease.ts`: new `releaseLapsedNativeRestartClaim`. It
is one conditional UPDATE that releases the claim only when the run is
`running`, the coordinator is `observed` with no result, and it still
names this exact `leaseOwner`, `controllerGeneration` and `attempt` with
an expired lease. A successor claim, a result, or a live lease leaves
the row unchanged.
- `heartbeat.ts`: when failed-workspace preservation defers on a
restart-claim execution, the failure path tries that release. If it
succeeds, the execution schedules a restart-recovery pass for the run
(`scheduleNativeSessionResumeDispatch(..., "restart")`) after it leaves
`activeRunExecutions`. Recovery then reclaims the run, or blocks it with
a named reason, right away. The path also logs the redacted cause, the
claim kind and whether the claim lapsed. Before, this return was silent.
- `preserveNativeFailedWorkspace` is unchanged. It still refuses an
expired claim (`refuses a stale expired recovery claim`).
- New `heartbeat-restart-claim-lapse.test.ts`. A restart-claim execution
whose preparation fails after its claim lease lapsed, on a run with a
prepared remote workspace, gets an immediate new restart-recovery
decision. It failed before the change: the run stayed `running` with the
lapsed claim and recovery answered `controller_still_alive`.

Not in this PR: renewing the claim lease during preparation for
`bootstrap_incomplete` claims (recovery.ts). Another restart-chaos fix
owns that change. This PR makes sure a lapsed claim's failure is handed
back at once either way.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-restart-claim-lapse.test.ts`: passed. Without
the heartbeat change it times out.
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-failed-workspace-recovery.test.ts
src/__tests__/heartbeat-native-restart-suspension.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-execution-lease.test.ts`: passed (195
tests across the four files).
- `cd server && pnpm typecheck`: no errors.
- Live Daytona proof uses `--native-trigger` from #20538. Results follow
in a comment.

## Risks

- Low risk. The release matches only the exact lapsed claim of a
running, result-less, `observed` run in one statement. A takeover
between the check and the release changes the owner or generation, so
the release does nothing.
- The run is not settled by this execution. Restart recovery makes the
decision under its own rules, which is the same path a later sweep would
take.
- Previous-release story: no persisted shape or identity changes. Rows
saved by the previous release are read and released the same way.

## Model Used

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

DottaandClaude c58356003f fix(native): give run finalization its own retry budget (#20555)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs save an accepted result. Then a finalizer applies that
result to the issue.
> - After a control-plane restart, recovery can resume the same run.
Each resume uses one provider attempt (`coordinator.attempt`).
> - The finalizer used the same `coordinator.attempt` value as its own
retry budget. After three resumes, `attempt` was 3. So the first
transient finalization failure made the coordinator `terminal_failure`.
> - The result was then lost: the issue stayed `in_review` and no Retry
was available. This breaks the rule that a restart must not leave a task
stuck.
> - This pull request gives finalization its own retry count. Provider
attempts no longer use up finalization retries.
> - The benefit: a resumed run that finishes its turn also finishes its
task, and finalization stays bounded.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
In restart-chaos wave `w-20261110T044338-s20385`, task t03 (local,
Codex, three K1 SIGKILL restarts, `--db-pressure 4`), recovery resumed
run `d5d0e839` three times (`providerAttempt: 3`). The resumed turn
completed and the server logged `run.result.accepted`, and the run ended
`succeeded`. The first finalization hit `NativeStatusRaceError` three
times under row contention. `recordRetryableFailure` then compared
`coordinator.attempt` (3) with its limit of 3 and wrote
`terminal_failure` / `native_finalization_retry_exhausted`. The run's
`execution.nextAction` is "Reassess against the latest authoritative
issue status version.", which only the `status_cas_exhausted` branch
writes. The second finalize call 2 s later got
`native_finalization_terminal_failure` from `claimCoordinator`. The
issue stayed `in_review` with `canRetry=false`.

**Expected behavior**
A transient finalization failure must stay retryable. The finalizer must
apply the saved result without another provider turn. Finalization must
still have a limit.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Resume a native run until its coordinator `attempt` is 3, for example
with three restarts.
2. Let the resumed run save an accepted result.
3. Make the first finalization fail with a retryable error.
4. Before this fix, the coordinator goes directly to `terminal_failure`.
The new test
`server/src/__tests__/native-finalization-retry-budget.test.ts`
reproduces this order.

**Paperclip version or commit**
The wave ran at e2b0290213. The bug is still on master at 902f376796. I
found no later merged PR that changes this check.

## What Changed

- `native-run-finalizer.ts`: `recordRetryableFailure` counts failed
finalizations of the saved result in
`heartbeat_runs.result_json.finalizationFailureCount`. It ends retries
after 3 failures. It no longer reads `coordinator.attempt`, which counts
provider attempts. The count goes on the run because each claim clears
the coordinator's `failure_detail`. Workspace-scope failures keep their
existing `workspaceFinalizeAttempt` budget.
- New regression test `native-finalization-retry-budget.test.ts`: a
coordinator saved at `attempt: 3` with no count stays
`retryable_failure` after the first failure. It goes to
`terminal_failure` only after the third failure.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/native-finalization-retry-budget.test.ts
src/__tests__/native-finalization-recovery.test.ts`: 37 tests pass.
- The new test fails on the unchanged finalizer (`terminal_failure`
received, `retryable_failure` expected). It passes with the fix.
- `pnpm verify` (selected tests).
- I did not run a live chaos replay. The evidence is the wave's run
events, its server log, and the code path.

## Risks

- Low risk. The only behavior change: runs that used provider attempts
now get their full 3 finalization retries.
- Previous-release story: rows that an older server saved have no
`finalizationFailureCount`. Their count starts at 0, so they get at most
3 more finalization tries, with no provider work. A coordinator that an
older server already set to `terminal_failure` stays terminal. This PR
migrates nothing.
- If another writer replaces `result_json` without spreading it, the
count can reset. That allows only a few more cheap retries, 30 s apart.
It cannot cause an unbounded loop unless the overwrite repeats.
- Not addressed here: when finalization really runs out of retries for a
succeeded run, the issue still rests `in_review` with a board recovery
card and no Retry. A safe Retry for that case must re-finalize the saved
result, not start a new provider run. That needs a separate change.

with tool use (shell, code editing, test execution).

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 bd30ef8510 perf(chat): authorize the waits of an issue page with one read (#20551)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents can work on tasks that start from an external chat, such as
Slack. When the agent waits for the next chat message, the task shows
"in review" with an external response wait.
> - Issue lists and inbox attention show these waits. To show a wait,
the server checks that the chat conversation is still authorized: the
messages, the destination, the endpoint, and each person who wrote.
> - The server did this check one time for each waiting task, and it
started all the checks at the same time. A page with 19 waits sent 19
copies of the message-link statement at the same moment, each on its own
pool connection, and then 19 copies of each policy read.
> - On a hosted database, 19 identical copies of this statement were
active at the same moment, about 670 ms each. They were 19 of the 20
active queries.
> - This pull request reads the messages of all waits of a page with one
statement and shares the policy reads between the waits. Each wait gets
the same authorization result as before.
> - The benefit is fewer statements and fewer connections for each issue
page, so one page cannot fill the pool with copies of one read.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20400 (shares wait reads between the callers of one request; this
change removes the per-wait fan-out inside that shared read).
Refs #18966 (reuses the prepared message-link statement; this change
keeps that statement for single runs).

**What happened**

`listExternalReviewWaits` ran `authorizeChatConversationForBoundRun` one
time for each waiting task, inside `Promise.all`. Each call sends the
message-link statement, then a resource read, and three reads for each
person. A page with N waits sent N copies of each statement at the same
time, on up to N pool connections.

**Expected behavior**

One issue page sends one message-link statement for all of its waits. A
resource or a person that is common to many waits is read one time. The
authorization result of each wait does not change.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Put many tasks of one company in review with an external chat
response wait.
2. Open the issue list or the inbox.
3. Look at the active statements of the database. One copy of the
message-link statement runs for each wait.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/native-runtime/chat-attachment-reuse.ts`:
- Split `authorizeChatConversationForBoundRun` into steps: read the
bound provider and wake comments, read the message rows, and apply the
policy to the rows (`authorizeBoundRunLinks`). The single-run path uses
the same prepared statement, the same lock modes and the same policy
code as before.
- Move the message-link join and its policy filters to one query
builder, `boundRunLinksQuery`. The single-run statement and the batch
statement both use it.
- Add `authorizeChatConversationsForBoundRuns(db, companyId, runs)`. It
is read-only and takes no locks. It reads the messages of all runs with
one statement, then gives each run only the rows that the single-run
statement returns for that run (same issue, agent, provider and
comments). The runs share each distinct resource and principal read.
Each run gets its conversation, or `null` for a policy denial. Other
errors are thrown, as before.
- Add `isBoundChatAuthorizationDenial` for the three policy denial
errors.
- `server/src/services/native-runtime/external-review-wait.ts`:
`listExternalReviewWaits` uses the batch authorization. The inherited
GitHub review-wait reads do not change.
- `server/src/__tests__/batched-chat-authorization.integration.test.ts`:
new tests on real PostgreSQL. For each case, the batch result must equal
the result of separate single-run reads. The cases include each denial:
a missing or foreign comment, no comments, no execution marker, a wrong
provider, agent or issue, a person without a link or without a
membership, a viewer member, a revoked link, a disabled or unavailable
destination, a paused endpoint, a closed conversation, an unprocessed
delivery, a delivery without a person, and a verifying endpoint. A test
also makes sure that one person's decision never applies to another
person in the same batch, and that a batch sends one message-link
statement.
- `scripts/benchmark-chat-bound-authorization.ts`: a local benchmark
that loads the pre-fix modules from a baseline commit, checks that both
versions return the same waits, and measures them.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/batched-chat-authorization.integration.test.ts
src/__tests__/prepared-chat-authorization.integration.test.ts` passes
(10 tests).
- Mutation check: when I removed the issue filter from the per-run row
selection, or shared one principal decision for all people of an
endpoint, the new tests failed (1 and 3 failures).
- Related suites pass: `heartbeat-reviewed-chat-binding`,
`external-chat-wait`, `preserved-native-response-wait`,
`chat-attachment-reuse` and `external-review-wait` (392 tests).
- `pnpm verify` asks for broader verification because the change adds a
file under `scripts/`. Required CI supplies that coverage.
- Benchmark: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsx
../scripts/benchmark-chat-bound-authorization.ts
--baseline-ref=f4337bb5fb` (the measured pre-fix commit)

Benchmark fixture (synthetic, local PostgreSQL 18.1, pool of 10): one
company, one Slack endpoint, 20 tasks waiting for a chat response from 5
people, 4 of those waits denied (the person is a suspended member), and
2,000 earlier conversations with 50,000 processed deliveries (6 KiB
events, 419 MB). Both versions return the same 16 waits. 15 alternating
pairs after warm-up:

| One issue page (20 waits) | Before | After |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Statements sent | 101 | 18 |
| Message-link statements | 20 | 1 |
| Server time of the message-link statements | 0.50 ms (sum of 20) |
0.13 ms |
| Page time, median (min to max) | 8.86 ms (6.94 to 12.05) | 4.05 ms
(3.62 to 5.54) |
| 8 pages at the same time, median (min to max) | 54.18 ms (48.36 to
89.24) | 14.99 ms (12.60 to 19.59) |

## Risks

- The batch must give each wait the same result as a separate read. The
batch statement uses the same join and policy filters. It then selects
each run's rows with the equality filters of the single-run statement.
The policy code is the same function for both paths. The tests compare
both paths for each denial case.
- Shared reads: the batch reads each resource and each person one time.
All reads are plain reads with no locks, as before. A policy change that
occurs during one page read can now apply to all waits of the page at
the same time, instead of to some of them.
- An invalid wake comment id in one wait makes the whole page read fail.
This was already true: the failure of one wait rejected the whole
`Promise.all`.
- The single-run path (attachment reuse, status decisions, run
preparation and others) keeps its prepared statement and lock modes. The
order of the conditions in its WHERE clause changed; the conditions are
the same.
- Not proven: why each copy took about 670 ms on the hosted database.
Locally one copy takes about 0.03 ms with the expected index plan. The
likely causes are the burst of copies on a small compute and cold pages.
Verify after deployment that the statement runs at most one time for
each issue page request.
- No migration and no schema change.

DottaandPaperclip bf0220d34a perf(workspaces): migrate with one archive and no readback (#20554)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip coordinates agents and keeps their workspace files.
> - A legacy workspace must move from a local volume to object storage.
> - The importer creates an archive, downloads and restores it, and
captures the source again.
> - Parent imports also download and recapture children that already
have committed snapshots.
> - This repeated work makes the one-time migration slow.
> - This change copies each source file once and trusts the upload
acknowledgement.
> - Existing source locks and atomic publication still own the
migration.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The one-time migration of legacy local and Git workspaces to durable
snapshots.

**Current behavior**

Each workspace is captured twice and restored as a test during
migration. Parent imports also read back already imported child
snapshots. Capture hashes source files before writing them and scans
them again afterward.

**Proposed behavior**

Build one archive from one source-file read, encrypt it, upload it, and
publish its reference. Trust the upload acknowledgement. Reuse journaled
uploads after an interrupted process. Retain committed child snapshots
by database reference.

**Reason and benefit**

Remove repeated source reads, temporary copies, complete downloads, and
recursive child verification. The tests assert one capture, one upload,
and zero migration downloads.

**Breaking changes**

The archive format stays compatible. File hashes required by current
readers are computed inline during the copy. There is no preliminary
file-hashing pass. Existing readers can cold-restore the result.

Related work: #19817 and #20447.

## What Changed

- Add single-pass capture that fills fixed-length checksum fields in the
existing archive header after copying.
- Remove migration readback, test extraction, fresh-source recapture,
and Git integrity scans.
- Compute the encrypted archive checksum while writing it.
- Reuse acknowledged and journaled uploads without rebuilding or
downloading them.
- Retain already imported children through their database bindings.
Remove the recursive payload verification cache.
- Keep company checks, source and writer locks, recovery bindings,
journal identities, cancellation, and atomic publication.
- Bind archived repository intent paths to the operation without
reconstructing an archive to check them.
- Update the migration contract and the affected tests.

## Verification

- Node 24.22.2 and pnpm 9.15.4 on macOS arm64.
- At e876dbdc: focused capture, migration, lost-acknowledgement, and
frozen old-reader compatibility checks: 11 passed.
- Real source-file open counts prove one read per file. The single-pass
archive matches the existing archive bytes and manifest.
- Cold restore preserves staged and unstaged Git work, untracked files,
executable modes, and confined symlinks.
- At e876dbdc: full archive and cohort suites: 147 passed.
- At e876dbdc: server layered typecheck passed.
- At 58e5c229: four review fixes add Git source-root confinement,
archived lost-acknowledgement reuse, old-journal intent binding, and
wrapped-key readability. New focused regressions are included;
current-revision CI is pending.
- Post-review local runs were inconclusive: Git cases timed out in both
existing strict and single-pass modes, and DB tests stalled before
assertions. The unchanged earlier passes are not presented as
final-revision passes. Required CI will verify the final revision.
- Earlier full migration, snapshot storage, and nested-reference suites
passed before the compatibility refinement. Required CI supplies fresh
broad coverage for the final revision.
- Initial compatibility checks exposed the need to retain the existing
file-hash header. Inline checksums fixed that failure without another
source-file pass.
- Initial tests that required repeated verification were updated to the
requested copy-once contract. Upload-time database mutations still test
the retained business-state guards.

## Risks

- Migration now trusts the storage acknowledgement and cooperating
writer fences. It does not prove the uploaded bytes with a download or
detect later local edits with a second capture.
- Already imported child objects are trusted without another object
read. Their database bindings remain checked.
- Original source files remain available for recovery.
- This adds no automatic migration, server pin, or serving deployment.
Ordinary run capture and authenticated restore retain their existing
behavior.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with code editing and terminal tools. The
exact runtime model revision and context window are not exposed in this

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 db0d523bc8 fix(recovery): start a Retry after a restart cut off a relaunch whose earlier Runners were proven stopped (#20537)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - When a run fails, a person presses Retry and expects a new run to
start
> - Before a native Retry starts, Paperclip must prove that the previous
run's Runner and provider stopped, so two providers never work on the
same task
> - When the server is killed after it asked for a Runner launch but
before it recorded the Runner's process, there is no PID to check.
Paperclip then proves the stop from two facts: no Runner process for the
run exists on this host, and the run never saved Runner state
> - A run that already crossed restarts did save Runner state, from its
earlier Runners. Those Runners were proven stopped, with stop receipts.
The proof still refused, because it only asked whether any state
belonged to the run
> - The Retry returned 202, but the task then waited for a board
operator to confirm the stop (`confirm_run_stopped`,
`process_identity_missing`), until the task timed out
> - This pull request lets the proof accept Runner state that only the
earlier, proven-stopped Runners could have written
> - The benefit is that a Retry after a restart-interrupted relaunch
starts right away, with no operator step

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**
Server native-run stop proof for a Retry or a new message
(`server/src/services/native-local-process-stop.ts`,
`unidentifiedLocalRunnerProvenAbsent` in
`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.ts`).

**Problem or motivation**
Restart-chaos wave `w-20261110T111245-s701`, task t03 (local, codex, C1,
K1/K2, `--storage s3 --storage-faults ST7`): run `f1ffeed3` crossed
three restarts. Its event history is:

1. Launch request, process identity, stop receipt (first Runner, killed
by K1)
2. Launch request, process identity, stop receipt (second Runner, killed
by K1)
3. Launch request at 11:13:54.999, then a K1 kill before the Runner's
identity was recorded
4. A fourth controller resumed the run, a K2 drain interrupted its
preparation, and the run failed (`adapter_failed`, fixed separately by
#20514)

The person's Retry at 11:14:37 returned 202. Admission reached
`recordUnidentifiedLocalRunnerStop`. No Runner process for the run
existed, but the Runner state root held `control-plane-state.json` with
this run's id, written by Runners 1 and 2. The proof refused, the issue
was saved as `waiting_for_user` / `confirm_run_stopped` /
`process_identity_missing`, and the wake stayed deferred until the task
timed out about 15 minutes later. The harness graded
`R3:retry_no_new_run`.

**Proposed solution**
A Runner persists its command journal (`runner/runner-state.json`)
before any command takes effect, and a provider starts only from a
command. Its `runner/process-lineage/` writer marker is written before
any supervised process starts. So a launch whose Runner never wrote
either file after the launch request cannot own a provider.

- The launch request event now records `requestedAt`, taken on the
launching host just before any backend may spawn.
- `recordUnidentifiedLocalRunnerStop` passes that time on only when the
latest process event before the request is a stop receipt (every earlier
Runner of the run was proven stopped) or there is none.
- `unidentifiedLocalRunnerProvenAbsent` then accepts saved state of this
run only when `runner/runner-state.json` (if present) and every
`runner/process-lineage/` entry were last modified before `requestedAt`.
A file time that falls on a whole second (a coarse-timestamp filesystem)
must predate the request by 2 s. The existing checks stay: no `--run-id`
Runner process on this host, the launching host matches, and no remote
lease.

**Previous-release story**
A launch request saved by the previous release has no `requestedAt`. It
keeps today's proof: it is accepted only without saved Runner state of
the run, otherwise the board shows the operator confirmation. Nothing is
migrated or rewritten.

**Alternatives considered**
- Treating a proven-gone controller as proof that its Runner stopped.
Local Runners outlive a controller restart (graceful drains reattach
them), so a gone controller says nothing about its Runner or provider.
- Running `paperclip-runnerd reap-lineage` for each writer marker. It
needs a Runner PID and binary on the hot Retry path, and a Runner whose
journal write failed has no marker to find.

## What Changed

- `native-session-executor.ts`: the `native.process_start_requested`
payload adds `requestedAt`. `unidentifiedLocalRunnerProvenAbsent` takes
`earlierRunnersStoppedBefore` and accepts this run's saved state only
when the Runner journal and lineage entries predate it
(`runnerStateUnchangedSince`).
- `native-local-process-stop.ts`: `recordUnidentifiedLocalRunnerStop`
reads the last two process events and passes the request time only after
a stop receipt (or no earlier launch).
- `explicit-native-continuation.test.ts`: new embedded-Postgres case. A
native run with a proven-stopped Runner, saved Runner state, and a later
unidentified relaunch: the Retry is admitted and the stop is recorded.
It stays blocked (`process_identity_missing`) when the Runner journal or
a lineage entry changed after the request, when the request has no
`requestedAt` (previous release), when the earlier Runner has no stop
receipt, when a whole-second file time is within 2 s of the request, or
when a `--run-id` Runner process is alive. A whole-second time 3.5 s
before the request is admitted.

## Verification

- Red/green: `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/explicit-native-continuation.test.ts -t "proven stopped"`.
On master the `proven` case fails (admission returns null); with the fix
all 8 cases pass.
- Related suites: `explicit-native-continuation.test.ts`,
`issue-confirm-run-stopped-routes.test.ts`, and the unidentified-Runner
and stop cases of `native-session-executor.test.ts`.
- Live, the s701 seed with the original wave's flags (`--env local
--adapters codex,claude --workloads A1,C1 --faults K1,K2 --triggers
time,result --concurrency 4 --tasks 4 --seed 701 --storage s3
--storage-faults ST7 --keep`):
- `w-20261110T131243-s701` (final head) and `w-20261110T125259-s701`,
master plus this fix plus #20514 merged locally: 4/4 pass each, every
task crossed a restart, no R3 signature, 0 speed breaches.
- `w-20261110T125616-s701`, master plus this fix without #20514: t01 and
t02 pass. t03 and t04 hit the drain-during-preparation failure that
#20514 fixes (`R3:retry_needed`). The Retry started a new run each time
and both tasks finished (`retry_no_new_run` is gone). New launch
requests carry `requestedAt`.
- The restart timings of these replays did not land in the exact gap
between a launch request and its process identity. The red/green test
covers that window.

## Risks

- Low. The change only widens one fail-closed proof, and only for launch
requests saved by this release, after a stop receipt, with Runner files
older than the request. The proof compares file times with a time taken
on the same host. A backwards wall-clock step between the request and a
Runner's first write could hide that write. The `--run-id` process check
still has to pass, so that Runner must also be gone.
- The Retry path adds one `lstat` per file in a small directory. It adds
no wait and no work before `turn.start`.

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

faae6b919f fix(runner): explain task scope on missing tool inputs (#19774)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents read saved task documents through native tools.
> - Active-task tools use the task bound to the run. Other task tools
require a task UUID.
> - Agents sometimes call the second set with only a document key.
> - The validator rejects the call, but gives no instruction about the
active-task tool.
> - This pull request adds scope instructions to the tool schemas and
returns them for missing required fields.
> - Agents can correct a rejected call. Task selection and permission
checks stay in place.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Two observed document reads sent only `{"key":"sentry-case"}` to
`read_task_document`. Each returned `Invalid tool input: / must have
required property 'taskId'`. Each later retry with a task UUID returned
without an error.

Pattern: [Task reads fail when agents omit
taskId](https://www.braintrust.dev/app/Paperclip/p/Paperclip%20Staging/patterns/703d8c29-6a40-4aa2-b2c6-e2c5c36b5657).
Related PR: #18824 changed document key validation. It does not address
task scope.

**Expected behavior**

The tool contract must state which task it reads. A missing-field error
must include the schema owner's recovery instructions. A retry must
still pass validation and task permission checks.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Call `read_task_document` through the MCP bridge with only a document
key.
2. Inspect the error sent to the caller.
3. Retry with an authorized task UUID. Confirm the returned document
belongs to that task.

### Hypothesis and thesis for a fix

Hypothesis: generic tool descriptions contribute to confusion between
active-task and explicit-task tools. An agent can also ignore a correct
schema. These tests do not measure the rate of model mistakes.

Thesis: Paperclip owns task scope instructions. Its five explicit-task
tools now describe the required UUID and the active-task alternative.
The two MCP transports return direct missing-property descriptions from
the admitted schema. The transports do not infer task IDs or apply
Paperclip task policy.

Proof: the same HTTP MCP regression fails on baseline
`f673bd3cb5b5b65ec51781e37355e168c3fe8ae4` and passes with the fix. It
still rejects before handler dispatch. An explicit retry reaches the
requested task. An isolated real API and PostgreSQL test checks the
saved revision, active-task selection, malformed UUIDs, and
cross-company denial through both transports.

## What Changed

- Add UUID and active-task guidance to `get_task`, `comment_on_task`,
and the three explicit-task document tools.
- Return bounded, distinct descriptions for up to three direct missing
required fields. Keep ordinary validation errors unchanged.
- Share this formatter between the Runner and OpenCode MCP bridges.
- Add transport regressions, real route and database checks, and tool
documentation.

## Verification

- Baseline red: both transport regressions return only the
required-property error and fail the recovery instruction assertion.
- Candidate green: 58 Runner and OpenCode transport and error formatter
tests pass on Linux with Node 24.22.2.
- Final-head server verification passed all 115 tests: 113 document-key
checks and two real API integration cases.
- The two local integration cases use real MCP HTTP, agent authority,
API routes, and disposable PostgreSQL. They read a selected other task
and its saved revision, read the active task separately, reject missing
IDs for all five tools, reject malformed UUIDs, and return 404 for a
foreign company task.
- Runner TypeScript typecheck and build pass.
- The full server typecheck passed on head
`03a37e9e50896416cfd45be33bf6dbe3e13169df` with
`PAPERCLIP_TYPECHECK_LOW_MEMORY=1 node scripts/typecheck-layers.mjs`.
The first run ended without a compiler diagnostic. Final-head CI passes
and Greptile is 5/5.
- Full preflight stops because cargo is absent. Rust checks were not run
locally.
- One existing delayed-body fetch test failed with a Node 25 fetch
runtime error. All transport tests pass on Node 24. The first
integration attempt used the wrong fixture return shape; the test was
corrected before the passing run.
- CI follow-up: the Runner test program reported four TS18046 errors
because `Response.json()` returns `unknown` under CI typings. Both tests
now declare the response type. `pnpm exec tsc -p tsconfig.test.json
--noEmit` passes, and both transport suites pass again (56 tests). Final
head `ffccebca19fe9e21a097829adc020679ffa7d86c` passes CI and Greptile
5/5.
- Review follow-up: the foreign task now has a saved document with a
distinct body. Both integration cases passed again after this test-only
change. The read must return 404 and must not return that body.
Current-head CI passes and Greptile is 5/5.
- Final CI:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42352822739 . All
required jobs passed for `ffccebca19fe9e21a097829adc020679ffa7d86c`.
Greptile is 5/5 with no unresolved review thread.
- Real local API behavior is verified. External model behavior and
deployed recovery are not verified. No merge or deployment is included.

## Risks

- Missing-field errors now contain schema descriptions. The text is
limited to direct properties in the admitted schema, at most three
distinct descriptions and 1,000 characters each.
- Nested schemas and references do not get recovery text. Their
validation errors remain intact.
- Clearer instructions can help callers recover. They do not guarantee
that a model will choose the correct tool.

## Model Used

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
In restart-chaos waves on Daytona R1 with `--storage s3 --storage-faults
ST1` and K2 at +110 s, a resumed `bootstrap_incomplete` run's
`heartbeat.prepare.run_output` ended `failed` right after the outage
ended:
- `w-20261110T101517-s11936` t01, run `9d39550a`. The claim was at
10:19:55 and the outage ended at 10:22:18.15. `run_output` failed at
10:22:18.17, after 141 s.
- `w-20261110T081647-s11936` t02, run `9da10424`. The claim was at
08:21:29 and the outage ended at 08:23:30.

During the outage the journal claim fails on its head `GET` before it
checks authority. The first attempt after the outage reaches
`claimFrom`'s `assertAuthority` (`run-log-authority.ts`), which requires
a live coordinator lease. That lease expired 60 s after the claim.

**Why not just widen the condition?** For a `bootstrap_incomplete`
claim, the executor's own claim moves the coordinator attempt to N+1
(`nextNativeProviderAttempt`). `startNativeSessionExecutionLeaseRenewal`
shares one renewal per lease owner and threw
`native_session_renewal_binding_changed` when the attempt differed. That
is presumably why preparation renewal was limited to reattach claims.

**Related:** #20460 (live status while a run waits out a storage
outage). #20514 settles a failure that this lapse used to leave silent.

## What Changed

- `heartbeat/recovery.ts`: start the preparation lease renewal for every
remote restart claim (`scope.remote`), not only
`reattach_remote_runner`.
- `native-runtime/native-execution-lease.ts`:
- When the same owner's executor starts its renewal at a higher attempt,
it takes over the shared renewal, rebinding the attempt and `onLost`. A
lower attempt or any other binding change still throws.
- A renewal that failed under the old binding is not counted as a loss.
- A failed renewal is not a loss when the coordinator shows the same
owner already at a higher attempt (the executor's claim committed while
the renewal was in flight). The renewal deadline still ends ownership if
no executor takes over.
- Tests: one recovery case and three lease-renewal cases (below).

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-execution-lease.test.ts
src/services/heartbeat/recovery.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-execution-lease-reacquire.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-restart-lease-renewal.integration.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-restart-preparation.integration.test.ts`:
143 pass. `npx tsc --noEmit`: pass.
- Red/green, recovery test "keeps a remote bootstrap restart claim
through preparation longer than its first lease, then hands it to the
next attempt": the claim's first lease ends 4 s in. Preparation runs
past it and the run-log writer authority still passes. Then the executor
claims attempt 2 and its renewal keeps extending the lease with no
detach.
  - Red with master's `recovery.ts`: the lease is never extended.
- Red with only the `recovery.ts` change:
`native_session_renewal_binding_changed`.
  - Green with both.
- Red/green, lease unit tests: handover to the next attempt (and refusal
of a lower one); a failure under the old binding is not a loss; a
failure while the coordinator shows the same owner at a higher attempt
is not a loss. All three fail on master.
- Live wave: results in a comment below.

## Risks

- Medium-low.
- The preparation renewal now runs for remote `bootstrap_incomplete` and
`resume_dead_runner` claims too. It renews the same coordinator row
under the same CAS conditions reattach claims already use.
- If preparation truly loses the lease (another owner takes it), its
`onLost` still runs (`detachNativeSessionsForRestart`) and authority
checks still fence writes.
- The new non-loss case applies only when the coordinator names this
exact owner at a higher attempt. The renewal deadline still bounds it.
- Previous-release state: this persists nothing new. A claim saved by
the previous release resumes unchanged; its preparation is simply
renewed now.

f4337bb5fb test(evals): land the chat catalog eval harness on master (#19614)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The chat-feature evals measure whether agents complete real chat
requests through the product
> - The chat catalog eval harness and its repairs live on the
`chat-eval/master-candidate` branch, not on master
> - Today's work made 139 of 242 chat evals pass in verified single-case
live runs. Each product fix landed on master as its own pull request
> - The eval-side changes (setups, graders, fault seams, evidence
capture) still exist only on the candidate
> - This pull request lands the harness on master. Master stays the
source of truth for product behavior
> - The benefit is one tree: evals run against master commits, and
product fixes reach the evals as soon as they merge

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19441, Refs #19599, Refs #20270, Refs #20334, Refs #20342, Refs
#20344, Refs #20354, Refs #20360, Refs #20373, Refs #20382, Refs #20409

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The chat catalog eval harness and the product it evaluates live on a
long-running branch outside master. Eval fixes do not reach master, so
master-based eval runs use old setups and graders.

**Subsystem affected**
`tests/runner-e2e` chat catalog harness, plus a small set of product
changes that exist only on the candidate.

**Proposed change**
Land the harness on master. Every product fix from this eval work
already merged to master as its own pull request. Conflicts keep
master's product behavior.

## What Changed

- Most of the diff (808 of 851 files) is under `tests/runner-e2e/`:
chat-catalog domains, scenarios, descriptors, the TestOps manifest,
private evidence tooling, and their tests.
- Graders now check saved state, setup literals and rendered or clicked
links. Many keyword and regex checks on free-form replies are removed.
Each changed grader has a bumped `oracleVersion` and calibration tests
(a valid reply, a reworded valid reply, and broken variants that must
fail).
- The shared link helper `hasLink` no longer treats a list link (for
example `/COM/issues?view=mine`) as a link to every task without a URL
key.
- Setup fixes build real state through supported product routes: routine
history, agent grants through the board grant route, budget holds with a
real cap, and a storage-layer archive fault for
`inbox-search.archive-partial-failure`.
- Browser boundary journeys (sign-in, chat-disabled, onboarding) now
write the standard pass evidence files.
- Retargeted cases, approved by the maintainer:
`agent-chat.chat-disabled` (Conference Room gate),
`agents.restore-instructions` (no saved instruction history),
`access.manage-membership` (member permission edits stay board-only).
- The private evidence trusted files (`manual-private-handoff.ts`,
`manual-private-retention.ts`, `manual-private-report-assets.ts`) are
byte-identical to master.
- Product files outside `tests/` (43 files, +1,328 −49) carry
candidate-only changes that master does not yet have. Most are tests.
The main code changes are in `request-human-input.ts`,
`heartbeat-run-summary.ts`, `native-completion-feedback.ts`,
`native-run-finalizer.ts`, `openapi.ts`, `secrets.ts` and
`IssueChatLongThreadPerf.tsx`.

## Verification

- `pnpm vitest run chat-catalog-domains chat-catalog-contract.test.ts
chat-catalog-consistency.test.ts unit-launcher.test.mjs
--testTimeout=180000` in `tests/runner-e2e`: 269 files pass, 3,550 tests
pass.
- `node --test chat-full-catalog-testops-manifest.test.mjs`: 10 pass.
- `node tests/runner-e2e/source-sdk-public-inputs.mjs <HEAD> --check`:
no change.
- `tsc` for `server` and `tests/runner-e2e`: clean.
- Live single-case verification: 139 of 242 cases passed on paid runs,
and a person read the saved evidence for each. These are single-case
runs, not one full-cohort run.

## Risks

- Large diff. Most of it is test-only, but the 43 non-test files change
product code paths. Review those files first.
- Some graders are now less strict on reply wording. A person must read
replies for meaning on those cases.
- 42 cases need disposable outside accounts (Notion, Slack, GitHub,
Daytona and others) and stay blocked. `access.invite-teammate` stays
failing until local agent isolation lands, because the runner's durable
state keeps a live invite token.
- The paid workflow compares the trusted private-evidence files with
master. They are unchanged, so this risk is low.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 60b9147e7c fix(native): accept harness diagnostics in a remote session-opened bootstrap proof (#20543)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs on a remote sandbox (Daytona) keep their controller
state in a Postgres checkpoint. The controller writes every command to
that checkpoint before it sends the command.
> - After a restart, recovery uses that record to prove that a drained
remote bootstrap reached no provider turn. If so, it bootstraps the run
again on the same heartbeat run.
> - A graceful restart seconds after native start often catches a runner
that opened its session and emitted ACPX `harness.diagnostic` events,
but was never sent a turn.
> - The remote no-turn proof did not accept `harness.diagnostic`, so
recovery blocked these runs as `ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence` and
the task needed a manual Retry.
> - This pull request accepts `harness.diagnostic` in that proof. The
proof's command check still requires that no turn command was ever
issued.
> - The benefit is that a restart just after native start re-bootstraps
the run automatically.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20538 (the harness trigger that reproduced it)

**What happened?**
Restart-chaos wave `w-20261110T091639-s11936` t02, run `c4fc7f03`
(Daytona R1, K2): a K2 landed 13 s after native start. Recovery returned
`ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`, and the run blocked with
`native_restart_recovery_blocked` (R3 retry_needed). I reproduced it
with a kept database in `w-20261110T132656-s11936` t02, run `ecd98d55`,
using `--native-trigger native-start+5` from #20538. Decoded controller
checkpoint:
- commands: `run.prepare`, `session.open`, `session.goal.get` (no turn
command);
- committed events: `session.started`, `session.capabilities.updated`,
`session.goal.snapshot`, `harness.diagnostic`, `harness.diagnostic`,
`session.goal.snapshot`;
- `ackedSourceSeq` 6, no `sessionCheckpoint`, no projected provider
events.

`nativeRunnerCheckpointRemoteBootstrapProof` returned `null` only
because `harness.diagnostic` was not in `SESSION_OPEN_EVENT_TYPES`.

**Expected behavior**
Recovery classifies the run `bootstrap_incomplete`
(`remote_session_opened_without_turn`) and bootstraps it again.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a Daytona R1 codex wave with `--faults K2 --native-trigger
native-start+5`.
2. The suspended run is blocked with
`ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`.

**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at c874cfa4da.

## What Changed

- `native-bootstrap-proof.ts`: add `harness.diagnostic` to
`SESSION_OPEN_EVENT_TYPES`, which `runnerdStateHasNoProviderTurn` uses.
The proof still requires every command to be `run.prepare`,
`session.open` or runner maintenance (`session.goal.get` and similar),
every committed event to be accounted for in order, and no adopted state
or warm transition. A turn command or any turn event still fails it. The
local opened-session proof already accepted `harness.diagnostic` through
`PRE_TURN_EVENT_TYPES`.
- `native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts`: a case built
from the observed record (goal read plus two diagnostics). It is
classified `bootstrap_incomplete` with
`remote_session_opened_without_turn`, and the executor's
restored-checkpoint proof agrees. A diagnostic followed by
`turn.started` stays blocked.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts`:
163 passed, 14 skipped. The new diagnostics case failed before the
change with `{ kind: "blocked" }`.
- Live: a Daytona R1 wave with `--native-trigger native-start+5`
follows. Results will be in a comment.

## Risks

- Low risk. `harness.diagnostic` is a harness report, not provider
input. Provider work needs a turn command, which the controller writes
to this record before sending, and the proof still rejects any turn
command or turn event.
- Previous-release story (upgrade-safe run state): no persisted shape
changes. A controller checkpoint saved by the previous release with
diagnostics and no turn is now re-bootstrapped instead of blocked. A
record with a turn keeps the same named refusal.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 c9226de30b fix(heartbeat): leave a preparing run to the next controller after a graceful drain (#20514)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The heartbeat service runs each agent task. A graceful shutdown
(SIGTERM) drains running native runs and hands them to the next server.
> - The drain detaches the native runner session and releases the run's
lease with the recovery state `awaiting_runner_reattach`.
> - An in-process execution can still be in run preparation at that
moment, for example while the run-log journal claim waits on a slow or
unavailable object store.
> - When that execution then lost writer authority
(`run_log_writer_authority_lost`), the generic failure path settled the
run as `adapter_failed`. The next server then saw
`native_continuation_requires_reconciliation`, and replay stayed
blocked.
> - This pull request makes a preparing execution that a restart
detached stop quietly, the same way a detaching native session already
does.
> - The benefit is that a slow preparation step plus a graceful restart
no longer turns into a failed run that needs a manual retry.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
In restart-chaos wave `w-20261110T092411-s701` (local, A1/C1, K1/K2, ST7
read-after-write lag), three of four tasks failed with R3
`retry_needed`. For run `218a0425`, the K2 SIGTERM drain wrote
`native.recovery.transition` with `awaiting_runner_reattach` and
released the lease. About 3 s later, the old server's in-process
execution, which was still in `runOutput.begin`, got
`run_log_writer_authority_lost`. `runCompletion.failRun` then settled
the run `adapter_failed` with a durable settlement. The next server
found `native_continuation_requires_reconciliation` and did not replay
the run.

**Expected behavior**
The drain hands the run to the next server. The old execution must not
settle it. A real authority loss outside a drain must still fail the
run.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a native run recovery, and hold it in preparation (slow store,
ST1 outage wait, or ST7 lag).
2. Send SIGTERM so `drainRunningRunsForShutdown` suspends the run.
3. Let preparation continue and check writer authority. The run settles
`adapter_failed`.

**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at 914e3ae14f.

## What Changed

- `native-session-executor.ts`: add `watchNativeRestartDetach(runId)`.
It records the run's restart-detach marker when the execution starts. It
reports `true` only when a later restart detach for that run happens. A
marker left by an earlier detach does not count.
- `heartbeat.ts`: the execution creates the watcher at start. In the
inner failure path (before `runCompletion.failRun`) and the setup
failure path (before `runCompletion.failRunSetup`), if a restart
detached the run and no provider dispatch started, the execution logs
the handoff and stops without settling. It uses the same teardown flag
(`nativeSessionResumeScheduled`) as
`NativeControllerDetachedForRestartError`.
- `heartbeat-native-restart-suspension.test.ts`: add a
red-before/green-after regression. A recovery execution is drained
during preparation and then checks the real run-log writer authority.
With the drain, the run stays `running` with `awaiting_runner_reattach`,
and the next controller resumes it. Without the drain (the lease only
expired), the run still fails `adapter_failed`.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-native-restart-suspension.test.ts`: 98 passed.
Before the fix, the new drained case failed with `status: failed,
errorCode: adapter_failed`.
- `cd server && pnpm typecheck`: passed.
- Live restart-chaos wave: see the comment below.

## Risks

- Low risk. The new branch applies only when this process's own restart
detach for this run happened after the execution started, and before any
provider dispatch. Typed native outcomes (startup cleanup, ownership
unverified, cancellation pending, resume scheduled) keep their earlier
handling because they are checked first.
- Previous-release story (upgrade-safe run state): no persisted shape,
launch identity or pack identity changes. The marker is process-local.
State saved by the previous release carries forward unchanged. The
deploy-lands-mid-run case is the regression test itself: a drain lands
during recovery preparation and the next controller resumes the same
run.

execution in Claude Code.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 15a734d068 fix(heartbeat): show a storage outage wait as live status, then record it once (#20460)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - In cloud mode a run reads and writes file storage on its critical
path: it starts its run log (`s3_segments`), restores its saved
workspace, and saves it again
> - Since #20299 a run waits out a storage outage there for up to 5
minutes instead of failing
> - That wait was silent. The board showed "running" with no sign of
life, so a storage wait looked like a dead run (restart-chaos R5
`silent_dead_run`)
> - The first version of this PR wrote a run event on every wait. That
writes the run row (`next_event_seq`, `updated_at`) while the run-log
claim is still in progress, and it covered only the run-log begin
> - This PR shows the wait as live run status instead, writes nothing
during the wait, and records one lifecycle event when the wait ends. It
covers every critical-path wait in the run's storage scope
> - The benefit is that a storage outage shows on the board as waiting,
the run's history keeps one honest line about it, and the claim path is
left alone

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20299 (wait out a store outage on a run's critical path).

**What happened?**
- `w-20261110T043533-s11936` (Daytona R1, ST1 194 s, K2): run `d49f58d8`
waited 186 s in `heartbeat.prepare.run_output` with no event. The grader
failed it as `R5:silent_dead_run`.
- `w-20261110T105903-s11936`: the restore download
(`storage.snapshot.download`) waited 182 s with no sign of life.

**Expected:** the board shows the run waiting for file storage, and
nothing about the notice can disturb run-log ownership.

**On the failed `run_output` seen on builds of the first version**
(`w-20261110T101517-s11936` t01 run `9d39550a`,
`w-20261110T081647-s11936` t02 run `9da10424`): the evidence points to
an expired restart lease, not to the notice's row writes. Neither the
writer-authority check (`run-log-authority.ts`) nor the journal claim
compares `next_event_seq` or `updated_at`. A remote
`bootstrap_incomplete` restart claim gets a 60 s lease
(`REMOTE_CONTROLLER_LEASE_MS`), and preparation renews it only for
`reattach_remote_runner` claims. In t01 the claim was at 10:19:55, the
outage ended at 10:22:18.15, and `run_output` failed at 10:22:18.17, on
the first authority check after the store came back. That fix ships
separately as its own PR.

## What Changed

- `storage/storage-unavailable.ts`:
- The run's storage scope can carry a wait observer
(`reportStorageOutageWaitsTo`).
- `retryThroughStorageOutage` tells it about each backoff (`waiting`).
The operation that owns the wait reports one `ended` (`recovered` true
or false), so nested waits do not double-report.
  - `storageOutageWaitFor(purpose, work)` names the step.
- An observer that throws never changes the wait.
`endStorageOutageWaitOn` keeps the observer.
- `heartbeat/storage-wait-notice.ts` (new):
- Each wait sets live runtime status (phase `waiting_for_storage`,
"Waiting for file storage before starting the run log (45s so far)") and
publishes `heartbeat.run.progress`. Nothing goes to the database.
- When the wait ends, it writes one `lifecycle` warn event: "Waited Ns
for file storage before …", with payload `reason:
"storage_outage_wait"`, `purpose`, `waitedMs` and `recovered`.
- `heartbeat.ts`: installs the notice next to `endStorageOutageWaitOn`
(one line).
- Purposes:
  - run-log begin: "starting the run log";
  - `loadWorkspaceSnapshotArchive`: "restoring the workspace";
  - `uploadWorkspaceSnapshot`: "saving the workspace".
- `packages/shared`: adds `waiting_for_storage` to
`HeartbeatRunStatusPhase`.
- `tests/restart-chaos/live-status-evidence.ts` (new): R5 also counts
the board's live run status (`/api/issues/:id/live-runs`
`currentStatusUpdatedAt` / `lastEventAt`) as evidence that a running run
is alive. Wiring it into `observer.ts` takes one import and one changed
line.
- `doc/run-log-events.md`: documents the live status and the one event.
- Removed: the first version's per-wait run event.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run src/services/heartbeat/run-output.test.ts
src/__tests__/storage-outage-wait.test.ts
src/services/remote-workspace-snapshot-storage.test.ts
src/services/object-byte-journal.test.ts
src/__tests__/storage-s3-credential-rotation.test.ts`: 103 pass.
- Red/green: with the observer disabled (master behaviour), these new
tests fail. With this change they pass:
- run-output "shows the wait as live status and writes nothing to the
run while its log claim waits": no run-row write and no event during the
claim's waits; the live status is `waiting_for_storage`; the claim's
writer-authority check still passes; one lifecycle event afterwards;
- the helper's observer tests (one end per wait; gave-up reporting; a
throwing observer; the Stop signal keeps the observer);
- snapshot storage "tells the run it is waiting for storage while a save
or a restore waits out an outage".
- `PAPERCLIP_IN_WORKTREE=false npx vitest run --config
tests/restart-chaos/vitest.config.ts
tests/restart-chaos/live-status-evidence.test.ts
tests/restart-chaos/observer.test.ts
tests/restart-chaos/triggers.test.ts`: 65 pass. `node
scripts/typecheck-test-projects.mjs tests/restart-chaos`: pass. `cd
server && npx tsc --noEmit`: pass.
- Live restart-chaos waves: results in a comment below.

## Risks

- Low.
  - The retry policy, its budget and Stop handling are unchanged.
- During a wait, the only new effect is an in-memory status and a live
event.
  - Afterwards, one event per wait, written without blocking the run.
- Runtime status is per server process. A board on another instance sees
the waiting line only after the closing event.
- Shared journal work (`runSharedStorageWork`) keeps its own scope
without the observer. Its waits surface through the enclosing run-scoped
wait, as before.
- Previous-release state: this persists no new run or session state. A
run saved by the previous release resumes unchanged.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 bf514759f9 fix(run-log): answer 404 for an object run log that was never written (#20539)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Each heartbeat run keeps a run log, and the board reads it through
`GET /api/heartbeat-runs/:id/log`
> - A run can store its log in object storage (`s3_segments`)
> - When a run fails before its log is written (for example in
`runOutput.begin`), the object store throws a plain `Error("Object run
log not found")`
> - The route turns that plain error into a 500, so the board shows a
server failure for a log that simply does not exist
> - The local file store already answers 404 `Run log not found` for the
same case, and the UI treats a 404 as an unavailable log
> - This pull request makes the object store throw the same 404
> - The benefit is that a missing object run log looks like a missing
log, and a real storage failure still answers 500

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
`GET /api/heartbeat-runs/:id/log` answered 500 `Internal server error`
for an `s3_segments` run whose log was never written. The server error
was `Object run log not found` from the object run-log store.

**Expected behavior**
The route answers 404 `Run log not found`, the same as the local file
store. The transcript view already treats a 404 for a finished run as a
missing log, and the log viewer already treats it as an unavailable log.
A real storage failure still answers 500.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Use S3 storage for run logs.
2. Make a run fail before its run log is written (for example in
`runOutput.begin`).
3. Read `GET /api/heartbeat-runs/<run id>/log`. It answers 500.

**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at adb0e77a4c.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/object-run-log-store.ts`: a read of a log with no
head (never written or deleted) throws `notFound("Run log not found")`
(HTTP 404) instead of a plain `Error`.
- `server/src/__tests__/agent-live-run-routes.test.ts`: route tests
drive the real object run-log store behind the route. A never-written
log answers 404. A store read failure still answers 500. A board user of
another company gets 404 and the store is not read.
- `server/src/services/object-run-log-store.test.ts`: the never-written
read test now expects the 404 error.

## Verification

- Red: with the old store, `answers an object run log that was never
written` fails with `expected 500 to be 404`.
- Green: `cd server && PAPERCLIP_IN_WORKTREE=false npx vitest run
src/__tests__/agent-live-run-routes.test.ts
src/services/object-run-log-store.test.ts` passes (120 tests).

## Risks

- Low risk. Other readers of the store (`feedback.ts`, issue comment
derivation, export) already catch any read error. They do not match the
old message text.
- The response for a missing object log changes from 500 to 404. The
company access checks run before the store read, so they do not change.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 fea4530a30 fix(recovery): retry a preparation killed by a restart in the uncharged lane (#20534)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - When the control plane restarts, an interrupted run must continue on
its own. A user must not have to press Retry because a deploy or a crash
happened
> - A preparation that a restart stops before the provider starts spent
no provider work. It is retried in the uncharged
`interrupted_preparation` lane (12 retries), not the charged
`transient_failure` lane (2 retries)
> - #20496 made that work for a graceful drain (SIGTERM). A hard kill
(SIGKILL) during workspace preparation still landed in the charged lane
> - Two killed preparations in one chain then spent the failure budget,
and the next interruption could not continue: the task needed a manual
Retry
> - This pull request lets restart recovery hand a killed preparation to
the uncharged lane once the killed controller is proven gone
> - The benefit is that a task survives any number of restarts during
workspace preparation (up to the crash-loop cap) without a Retry click

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**
Heartbeat restart recovery: the process-loss reaper in
`server/src/services/heartbeat/recovery.ts`.

**Problem or motivation**
The restart-chaos harness on Daytona with `--storage s3
--storage-trigger snapshot-download` (seed 603, task t02, a codex C1
follow-up) kills the server while a workspace snapshot downloads. On
builds that contain #20496, two replays still ended in
`R3:retry_needed`. The run chain in replay
`w-20261110T061107-s603-replay-t02-1794309789008`:

1. K1 SIGKILL during preparation: `process_lost`, then "Scheduled
bounded retry 1/2 … transient_failure".
2. K2 drain during preparation: `interrupted_preparation` 1 (the #20496
path, correct).
3. K4 SIGKILL during preparation: `process_lost`, then "Scheduled
bounded retry 2/2 … transient_failure".
4. K2 drain during preparation: the failure budget was spent
(`failureRetries` 2), so the hold could not continue. The harness had to
click Retry.

**Root cause**
The reaper does record the no-provider-work certificate
(`executionRecovery: { kind: "bootstrap", providerWorkStarted: false }`)
for a preparing run from another boot. But before it fails the run,
`revokeExpiredLegacyControllerWithState` swaps in a random boot id with
a 60 s lease, a tombstone that no controller holds.
`scheduleBoundedRetryForRun` then asks `isInterruptedNativePreparation`,
whose `preparerMayStillUnwind` check sees that live lease and says the
old preparer may still be unwinding. The lane falls back to
`transient_failure` and charges the failure budget. Every killed
preparation is charged, whether or not its controller is provably gone.

**Proposed solution**
When the reaper has already proven the old controller's recorded process
gone (`legacyControllerGone`, the shared owner prover that #20496 also
uses) and the revoked state shows the run was still preparing with no
process recorded (`restartInterruptedBeforeDispatch`), expire that
tombstone lease in the same `process_lost` write. The lane decision then
sees an expired lease and applies its existing checks (no coordinator,
result or execution events; leases released with stop receipts;
workspace repair when needed). Any evidence of provider work, or a
controller that cannot be proven gone, keeps today's charged behaviour.

**Alternatives considered**
- Revoking with an already expired lease: the 60 s revocation lease
fences other servers while this pass fails the run, so the expiry
belongs in the terminal write.
- Teaching `preparerMayStillUnwind` to ignore unstamped leases: that
would also skip the wait for a lease of a live controller saved by an
older release.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/heartbeat/recovery.ts`: the `process_lost` write
sets `controllerLeaseExpiresAt` to now when
`restartInterruptedBeforeDispatch && legacyControllerGone`.
- `server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts`:
- New: a chain whose preparation is killed twice (controllers proven
gone) and then drained. Each kill schedules `interrupted_preparation`
(attempts 1 and 2, `failureRetries` 0), and after the drain the restart
settlement schedules `interrupted_preparation` 3 without a Retry.
- New old-saved/new-resumed case: a preparing run saved by an older
release without a controller process stamp keeps the charged
`transient_failure` lane.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: one additive sentence saying the lane
also covers a hard kill once the killed controller is proven gone.

## Verification

- Red/green: `npx vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts -t "killed twice"`
fails on master (the first kill schedules `transient_failure`) and
passes with the fix.
- Related suites pass: `heartbeat-process-recovery`,
`interrupted-preparation-hold-settle`,
`execution-recovery-dead-controller`, `legacy-controller-lease` and
`ownership-reconciliation-report` (5 files, 521 tests).
- Live (Daytona, `--storage s3 --storage-trigger snapshot-download`,
replay of `w-20261110T061107-s603/t02` with K1/K2/K4/K2, image
`paperclip-daytona-runner@sha256:05a4a092…` whose runner content matches
this branch): running; the result will be posted as a comment.

## Risks

- Low. The change applies only when the shared owner prover returns
`gone` for the exact recorded controller and the run was still preparing
with no process recorded. The lease's boot id stays the random
revocation id, so the old controller can still never renew it. Old rows
without a controller stamp keep today's behaviour.
- Previous-release story (upgrade-safe-run-state): no persisted shape
changes. A run saved mid-preparation by an older release has no
`controllerProcess` stamp, cannot be proven gone, and keeps the charged
lane (covered by the new old-saved test). Retries an older release
already scheduled in the charged lane keep their counters.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 adb0e77a4c fix(run-log): read a resumed run's own log while the store still hides its new head (#20523)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - In cloud mode, run logs use the `s3_segments` store: an object byte
journal whose `head.json` names the current writer and the committed
bytes
> - When a run resumes after a restart, `runOutput.begin` claims the
journal (this publishes a new `head.json`) and then reads the existing
log prefix to find where native log export continues
(`nativeRunLogPrefixCursor`)
> - On an S3-compatible store with read-after-write lag, the `head.json`
that the claim just published can read as `NoSuchKey` for some seconds
> - The read then throws "Object run log not found", and the resumed run
settles as `adapter_failed` and needs a Retry
> - This pull request makes a read through a live writer's own handle
use that writer's head when the store does not show the head yet, and
makes the one-time source-prefix proof step treat a hidden head as
"proof unavailable" instead of "another writer"
> - The benefit is that a run that resumes right after a restart
survives a store that shows new objects late, with no added wait

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20509 (the same lag on the journal claim).

**What happened?**
In restart-chaos wave w-20261110T095205-s701 (local, `--storage s3
--storage-faults ST7`, K1/K2, on master with #20504, #20509 and #20514),
two resumed runs (t03 run 4f4fc7bc, t04 run c92c53d8) failed in
`runOutput.begin`. The error was "Object run log not found" from
`object-run-log-store.ts` `read`, called by `nativeRunLogPrefixCursor`
(`native-run-log-export.ts:314`). Both runs settled `adapter_failed`,
and the grade was R3 `retry_needed`. ST7 makes a GET or HEAD of a
just-written key answer 404 `NoSuchKey` for 5–30 s.

**Expected behavior**
A resumed run reads the log prefix that it just claimed and continues. A
store that shows a new object late must not look like a missing log.

**Steps to reproduce**
Write a run log, begin a successor writer on a new store instance, then
make `head.json` read as `NoSuchKey`. `read(successor)` throws "Object
run log not found".

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/object-run-log-store.ts`: `read()` reads the head
from the store as before. When the store says the head does not exist
and this process has a live writer for that handle, it uses the writer's
head. The writer published that head, so it proves the log exists. A
handle without a live writer still fails at once with "Object run log
not found".
- `server/src/services/object-byte-journal.ts`:
`recordVerifiedSourcePrefix` reads the head again to confirm ownership
before it publishes the optional source-prefix proof. When that head
reads as missing, it now throws
`ObjectJournalSourcePrefixProofUnavailableError` (the existing "proof is
optional" result). The store then continues without the proof, and the
next resume scans the prefix again. A visible head with a different
etag, a closed head or a deleted head still fails as
`ObjectJournalConflictError`. Later appends still publish the head with
a conditional write against the writer's etag, so another writer is
still detected.
- `server/src/services/object-run-log-store.test.ts`: a test hides the
successor's just-published `head.json` for the full resume sequence that
`nativeRunLogPrefixCursor` runs against the store (`read`, then
`recordVerifiedSourcePrefix`). Before this change, `read` fails with
"Object run log not found"; with only the read fix, the proof step fails
with "The output journal is owned by another writer". After both, the
read returns records 1–3, the proof is marked unavailable, and a later
append and read return records 1–4. A second test checks that a read of
a log that was never written still fails at once.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run src/services/object-byte-journal.test.ts
src/services/object-run-log-store.test.ts
src/services/object-run-log-store-tail-read.test.ts
src/services/run-log-store.test.ts
src/services/run-log-store-cancellation.test.ts`: 87 pass. The new
resume test fails with "Object run log not found" without the read fix,
and with "The output journal is owned by another writer" without the
proof fix.
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-run-log-recovery.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-run-log-watermark.test.ts`: 27 pass.
- `cd server && npx tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json` passes.
- Live: a local ST7 rerun (seed 701) on a build with this fix follows in
a comment.

## Risks

- Low risk. The read change only affects a read whose store head is
missing and whose handle has a live writer in this process. All other
reads behave as before, including fetch counts and the cache.
- When the head is hidden during the proof step, the proof is skipped
for this attempt. The next resume of the same run scans the log prefix
once more. This is the existing degraded path for a proof outage.
- The fix does not wait for lagged segment objects. A segment that the
previous server wrote less than the lag window before a restart can
still read as `NoSuchKey` during the prefix scan. The wave evidence
shows only the head lag. A broad segment wait broke existing failure
tests, so it is not part of this change.

DottaandClaude bf45700ca3 fix(native): make Retry work after a turn start cut off once Codex recorded the turn (#20516)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A native Codex run sends `turn/start` through its runner. A
control-plane restart can kill the runner and Codex while that request
is in flight
> - #20507 lets the runner resume by itself when Codex's thread history
proves the turn was never created. When Codex did record the turn, the
turn may have done work, so the runner still fails closed and nothing
replays it
> - That branch must still end in a Retry that works. The next run on
the same conversation is refused at the runner-state fence before it
asks for a runner. #20507 let Retry continue after that run by matching
the refusal's error text
> - Driving that branch end to end with the real runner exposed a second
dead end. When the owner's runner dies, its provider-session close
cannot prove suspension, so this server process can keep an
operator-required cleanup quarantine for the task. Retry was then
refused outright ("Send a new message")
> - This pull request replaces the text match with a server-authored
run-log event, lets Retry take the same verified-stop path as a new
message, and adds a real-runner test of the whole branch: the cut-off
owner fails closed, the follow-up is refused with structured proof,
Retry is admitted, and the fresh Retry run completes
> - The benefit is that this restart window cannot strand a task, and
the Retry gate no longer depends on error wording

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
Follow-up to #20507 (restart-chaos wave `w-20261110T033426-s108`, t03).
#20507 left one item open: prove that a person's Retry produces a
working run when the restart cut off `turn.start` after Codex recorded
the turn. It also matched the fence refusal by its error text.

**Expected behavior**
After that cut-off, the owner stays failed closed and the turn is never
started again by itself. A person's Retry starts a new run that
completes. It never fails with `quarantine_owner_unverified` and never
returns 202 with no run.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-cut-turn-start-retry.integration.test.ts`.
2. Without the new event, the test fails: the refused follow-up has no
proof that it never launched, so Retry after it would wait on
`process_identity_missing`.

## What Changed

- `native-session-executor.ts`: when the runner-state fence refuses a
run before launch (`prior_owner_*` or `legacy_prior_owner_*`), the
executor records the server-authored event
`native.prior_owner_fence_refused` with the closed refusal `reason`,
then fails the run as before. A failed write leaves the run held (the
safe side).
- `native-local-process-stop.ts`: `nativeRunNeverLaunched` accepts a
failed run that has this event (and still no launch, identity,
`adapter.invoke` or runner-sourced event). It no longer reads the error
text.
- `explicit-native-continuation.ts`: when the task's in-process cleanup
quarantine is operator-required, a Retry no longer returns
`cleanup_quarantined` at once. Like a new message, it must first pass
`verifyStoppedNativeSessionForContinuation`, which releases the
quarantine and records `native.stopped_conversation_verified`. A native
Retry always starts a fresh conversation (`forceFreshSession`), so it
never resumes the interrupted turn. If the proof fails, Retry still
returns `cleanup_quarantined`.
- `verifyStoppedNativeSessionForContinuation`
(`native-session-executor.ts`), three narrow additions:
- a run with `native.prior_owner_fence_refused` may stand in for the
saved state's owner, like a run refused by the cleanup quarantine (both
were refused before launch);
- when the session root is gone, it reads the fence's single
`identity_indeterminate` quarantined copy of the owner's state (several
copies stay ambiguous);
- a provider startup attempt in phase `initialization_failed` whose
direct child exited and whose process and process group are gone no
longer blocks the proof. A same-run restore that fails closed leaves
exactly this record. Those PIDs are also re-checked before the
quarantine is released.
- New real-runnerd integration test
`native-cut-turn-start-retry.integration.test.ts` (real runnerd and fake
Codex with `--hang-turn-start after`):
1. The owner run's `turn/start` hangs after Codex recorded the turn; the
runner and Codex are killed. The owner's provider state keeps the
ambiguous start, and the thread history keeps the turn.
2. The same-run resume restores the runner and fails closed with "cannot
safely recover an ambiguous Codex turn start". Codex saw exactly one
`turn/start`.
3. A follow-up on the same conversation is refused with `prior_owner_*`,
never `quarantine_owner_unverified`. It records
`native.prior_owner_fence_refused`, launches nothing, and
`nativeRunNeverLaunched` is true for it.
4. The owner's operator-required in-process cleanup quarantine is pinned
(whether the real close lands there is timing-dependent; about half of
the local runs did).
5. Retry of the refused follow-up passes
`admitExplicitNativeContinuation` (not a dry run) with no block reason,
releases the quarantine and records
`native.stopped_conversation_verified`.
6. The Retry run, prepared with a fresh conversation as task Retry does
(`forceFreshSession`), uses a different runner-state root and completes
with exit code 0. Codex saw one new `thread/start` and one new
`turn/start`; the cut-off turn was never started again.
- `explicit-native-continuation.test.ts`: the fence rows now insert the
event. A new row shows that the refusal text alone keeps the run held.
The "worker loss (retry)" case now expects a verified Retry to be
admitted like a new message.
- `native-recovered-owner-followup.test.ts`: a fixture event moves to a
free sequence number, because the refused follow-up now writes its own
event.
- Docs: `doc/run-log-events.md` (new event) and
`packages/paperclip-runner/docs/durable-recovery.md`.

## Verification

- Red/green:
- Without the event write, the integration test fails (no fence event,
so the follow-up is not proven unlaunched).
- Without the gate and proof changes, it fails with `expected [
'cleanup_quarantined' ] to deeply equal []`: Retry is refused while the
owner's quarantine is held.
  - With all changes, it passes.
- `vitest run` of `native-recovered-owner-followup`,
`explicit-native-continuation` (427 tests), `quarantined-task-retry`,
`issue-confirm-run-stopped-routes`, `native-finalization-recovery`,
`task-interruption-query`, `execution-projection`,
`chat-run-publications`, `closed-native-receipt-accounting`,
`agent-live-run-routes` and the new integration test pass.
- Server `tsc --noEmit` passes.
- Runner code and the pack `contractDigest` do not change.

## Risks

- Low-medium risk. The new event is written only on the fence refusal
path, which already fails the run. It is local run-log data (no
Telemetry or OpenTelemetry).
- Retry after an operator-required cleanup quarantine is a behaviour
change: it was always refused, and now it is admitted only after the
same exact stop proof a new message needs. That proof checks the owner's
runner stop record, every recorded provider and startup PID and process
group, and the unchanged state fingerprint before it releases the
quarantine.
- A run refused by a build between #20507 and this change has only the
error text. It stays held on `process_identity_missing` until a person
sends a new message or the board confirms the stop. #20507 has not
shipped in a release yet.
- The test models the restart in-process: it kills the runner and Codex
and calls the executor again. It does not drive the HTTP Retry route;
the route's own behaviour (fresh conversation, admission gate) is
covered by existing tests and by `nativeRunNeverLaunched` here.
- Open decision, unchanged: a turn Codex recorded before the restart is
never replayed or adopted. Continuing is a person's decision.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 93faca77ef fix(recovery): settle a drained run's hold once its controller is proven gone (#20496)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - When the control plane restarts, an interrupted run must continue on
its own. A user must not have to press Retry because a deploy happened
> - A graceful drain (SIGTERM) marks a preparing legacy run
`interrupted` and exits, but the run keeps its legacy controller lease
for up to 60 s more
> - After the restart, `settleUnrecoverableExecutions` skips the run's
recovery hold while that lease is live, in case a living controller is
still unwinding a Stop
> - The controller is the drained process, which is gone. For up to a
minute, the task shows "Couldn't finish this attempt" with a Retry
button, before the automatic continuation starts
> - This pull request lets the disposition proceed when the shared owner
prover proves the lease's recorded controller process gone, and expires
that exact lease, so the held-preparation continuation also starts at
once
> - The benefit is that a run drained during workspace preparation
continues automatically right after the restart, without a Retry click

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**
Server execution recovery: the disposition of
`legacy_execution_requires_reconciliation` holds
(`server/src/services/execution-recovery-resolution.ts`).

**Problem or motivation**
The restart-chaos harness can now restart the server while it is in an
S3 transfer (#20451). The wave ran on Daytona with `--storage s3
--storage-trigger snapshot-download`. A K2 drain interrupted a C1
follow-up run while its workspace snapshot was downloading, then a
second K2 drain interrupted the automatic retry during its restore. The
task then showed the board-owned "Couldn't finish this attempt. Your
message is saved. Retry" state, and the harness had to click Retry
(`R3:retry_needed:C1:K2`). A `--keep` replay reproduced it. The kept
database shows a run drained at 07:08:05 with
`controller_lease_expires_at` 07:09:04.98. The server was ready again at
07:08:45. Its disposition did not settle the hold until 07:09:14.8. The
automatic continuation was then delegated, because the user's Retry had
already started a run.

**Proposed solution**
Before the disposition transaction, ask the shared owner prover
(`legacyControllerProvenGone`) whether the live lease's recorded
controller process is gone. For that exact controller boot id only, skip
the wait and expire the lease in the same transaction (compare-and-swap
on run, company and boot id). The later checks
(`isInterruptedNativePreparation`, `isFailedNativePreparation`, the
held-preparation settlement) then see an expired lease and schedule the
`interrupted_preparation` successor. A lease held by a live process,
including this one, still blocks as before.

**Alternatives considered**
Expiring the lease in the drain itself. The drain runs before the
process exits, so the owner proof after the restart is the safer
evidence.

## What Changed

- `legacy-controller-lease.ts`: new
`provenGoneLegacyControllerBootId(db, companyId, runId)`. It returns the
boot id of a legacy run's unexpired controller lease when the shared
prover proves that controller's recorded process gone, else null.
- `execution-recovery-resolution.ts`: `settleUnrecoverableExecutions`
computes that boot id before its transaction. When the live lease's boot
id matches, it expires that lease and settles the hold instead of
waiting.
- New `execution-recovery-dead-controller.test.ts` (embedded Postgres):
a drained run whose controller process has exited is settled at once,
its lease is expired, and `isInterruptedNativePreparation` turns true
(continuation eligible) while the original lease would still run for
about 55 s. A lease held by the current process still waits and keeps
its expiry.

## Verification

- Red/green: `npx vitest run
src/services/execution-recovery-dead-controller.test.ts` fails on master
(the hold stays `active`) and passes with the fix.
- Related suites pass: `task-retry`, `execution-control-work`,
`heartbeat-process-recovery` and `native-startup-retry.integration` with
the new file (5 files, 573 tests).
- Live: the Daytona `--storage s3 --storage-trigger snapshot-download`
rerun on a build with this fix will be posted as a comment.

## Risks

- Low. The change only removes a wait when the shared owner prover
returns `gone` for the exact recorded controller. An unprovable or alive
controller keeps the old behaviour. The prover runs outside the
row-locked transaction, and only for candidates whose lease is still
live.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 c0593b69f1 fix(accounting): close a remote-Runner turn completed across a session restore as a lower bound (#20524)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native runs settle their charge once the final usage receipt is
complete.
> - #20517 fixed one case for the local Runner. If a restart stops the
provider before a turn's final usage report, and the restored Runner
then reports that turn completed, the turn now closes as a lower bound
instead of waiting 10 minutes.
> - Remote Runners deliver usage through a separate producer-owned
receiver. That receiver dropped `session.resumed`, so the same turn
there still waited for the 10-minute closure timeout.
> - This pull request applies the #20517 rule to that receiver.
> - The benefit is that remote ACPX and OpenCode runs settle promptly
with an honest lower-bound label after a mid-turn restore.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20517.

**What happened?**

After #20517, `session.resumed` reached turn accounting only through the
local Runner's fallback recorder. The remote producer receiver
(`native-usage-delivery.ts`) and the session-authority filter
(`isNativeUsageAccountingEvent`) both dropped it. A remote ACPX or
OpenCode turn that was open across a session restore, and then reported
terminal without a complete report, left the receipt incomplete until
the closure timeout.

**Expected behavior**

Same rule as the local Runner. Such a turn closes as a lower bound right
away. A complete report that arrives after the restore is still used,
and a turn that starts after the restore stays pending until its own
report is complete.

**Steps to reproduce**

`native-usage-delivery.integration.test.ts > a turn restored mid-turn on
a remote Runner > closes the turn as a lower bound, also after the
controller restarts between restore and terminal` fails on master: the
receipt stays `accountingReceiptReady: false`.

## What Changed

- **Receiver (`createNativeUsageReceiver`).** It now accepts
`session.resumed` for turn-reporting providers (ACPX, OpenCode) while a
turn is open. It journals the restore as a receipt like any other
producer event, so turn accounting marks the open turn restored. A
replacement controller rebuilds the same state from that journal.
- **Restores never fail delivery.** A restore from another run or
source, or one with no open turn, is ignored, not rejected. An
unacknowledged lifecycle event would otherwise replay without end.
- **Session-authority filter.** `acceptAccountingEvent` now uses a new
`isNativeUsageDeliveryEvent`: the usage events plus `session.resumed`. A
restore for another run is ignored there too.
- **Recovery routing is unchanged.** `acceptRecoveryAccountingEvent` and
`onRecoveryAccountingEvent` keep the usage-only
`isNativeUsageAccountingEvent`, so a source run's restore never requires
a proven recovery source.
- **Turn accounting** gets a `hasOpenTurn()` helper.
- **Docs:** `doc/SPEC-implementation.md` now covers both Runners.

## Verification

- `native-usage-delivery.integration.test.ts`, describe `a turn restored
mid-turn on a remote Runner` (real PostgreSQL):

  | Test | On master | Here |
  |---|---|---|
| `closes the turn as a lower bound, also after the controller restarts
between restore and terminal`: the restore is journaled by one receiver
and the terminal arrives at a rebuilt one; replaying everything again is
idempotent | fails | passes |
| `keeps the turn's own final report when it arrives after the restore`
(guard) | passes | passes |
| `keeps a turn started after the restore pending, and journals nothing
for a restore with no open turn` (guard) | passes | passes |

- `native-session-executor.test.ts > binds retained warm transport usage
to the successor run authority` covers routing through the
session-authority filter:
  - a current-run restore reaches the successor's capture;
  - a draining-run restore reaches the drained capture;
  - an unrelated-run restore resolves with no capture;
  - recovery routing ignores a source restore.

It fails when the filter is reverted to `isNativeUsageAccountingEvent`.
- Related suites pass: `native-usage-delivery.integration` and
`native-usage-accounting` (46 tests), and the usage, accounting, receipt
and authority cases in `native-session-executor.test.ts` (224 tests).
Server typecheck passes.
- **The live remote path is unproven.** No Daytona wave ran because the
Daytona Runner image has not been rebuilt yet. The local Runner
counterpart (#20517) passed restart-chaos L1, seed 20386, 4/4
(`w-20261110T104332-s20386`).

## Risks

- **Upgrade safety.** Usage state saved by current master has no
journaled restore and rebuilds as before. A receiver that predates this
change replays a journaled restore as an ignored event, which is the
behaviour on master. A restore that an older controller already
acknowledged is not replayed, so that run waits for the closure timeout
as it does today.
- **One extra receipt per mid-turn restore**, only for ACPX and OpenCode
and only while a turn is open. Nothing is added before `turn.start`: a
restore with no open turn returns immediately.
- **Codex and other providers are unaffected.** They do not use turn
accounting.
- No schema or persisted-format change.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 23fa37f5bb fix(recovery): treat a retired prepared remote epoch as nothing to recover (#20491)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A restart must never leave a task stuck: an interrupted run must
resume on its own or have a working Retry
> - When a graceful restart interrupts a remote-workspace run that is
still preparing, the run keeps a `prepared` reference to its workspace
epoch, and a preserve-without-replay hold blocks the task
> - The unsaved-files reconciler then retires that epoch with
`abandonUnverifiedRemoteWorkspaceEpoch` and writes a
`paperclip.remote-workspace-abandoned-epoch.v1` receipt. The workspace
content is the last committed save again
> - Recovery never read that receipt. The held-preparation reconciler
waited for a repair receipt that could never exist, and restore recovery
refused the source as `source_binding_invalid`. The task stayed blocked,
and a UI Retry returned 202 and started nothing
> - This pull request adds one strict shared rule: an abandoned-epoch
receipt for the run's exact prepared epoch and allocation means there is
nothing to recover. Every recovery path now uses it
> - The benefit is that the task resumes automatically from the last
committed save after the restart, whichever recovery path owns the hold

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20072 (replay a preparation a restart interrupted), #20299
(storage outage waits).

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Recovery of a remote-workspace run that a graceful restart interrupted
during preparation, after its unsaved epoch was retired.

**Subsystem affected**
Server: recovery (held-preparation reconciler, workspace restore
recovery, the workspace repair check).

**Current behavior**
These are Daytona R1 restart-chaos waves (Paperclip-sized workspace,
`--storage s3`, K2 graceful restart at +110 s, during the ~730 MiB first
save):
- `w-20261110T052533-s8805` and `w-20261110T062703-s8805` (ST2 slow
store), held-preparation path: both runs ended `interrupted` in
`executionStage: preparing`. The reference was `{ state: "prepared",
epoch: 1 }`, and the workspace had moved to `{ epoch: 2, location: null,
dirty: false, writerRunId: null }` with an abandoned-epoch receipt for
epoch 1. The `legacy_interrupted_preparation_hold` reconciler never
settled the hold (`I2_settled` violations), because
`isInterruptedNativePreparation` requires `hasVerifiedWorkspaceRepair`,
and that check accepts only a `saved` reference. Grader:
`R3:retry_no_new_run`.
- `w-20261110T091639-s11936` (ST1 outage), restore-recovery path: the
run also had `workspaceRestoreFailure: "restore_failed"` and
`workspaceRestoreRecovery`. Restore recovery owns that hold.
`inspectWorkspaceRecoverySource` threw `source_binding_invalid` /
`workspace_reference_mismatch` with retry class `service_required`, and
the hold says Retry "succeeds only after Paperclip is updated". Grader:
`R3:retry_no_new_run`.

**Proposed behavior**
`isAbandonedPreparedRemoteWorkspace(db, run)` is true only when all of
these hold:
- The run has a `prepared` remote reference and no native workspace sync
reference.
- The workspace authority is at a later epoch, and the run is not its
writer.
- The workspace has an abandoned-epoch receipt for the same run, the
same epoch, and the same lease, provider lease and remote cwd.

That rule is used in three places:
- `hasVerifiedWorkspaceRepair` (`workspace-recovery-receipt.ts`): the
retired epoch counts as repaired. This covers held-preparation replay,
the restore-failure check in `settleInterruptedNativeBootstrap`, the
execution blocker, and explicit Retry admission.
`verifiedWorkspaceRepairReceipt`, which returns a receipt id, is
unchanged.
- `inspectWorkspaceRecoverySource` (`workspace-recovery-source.ts`): the
retired source is reported as `source_unavailable` /
`use_alternative_strategy`, not as a binding failure that needs a
service update.
- `heldInterruptedPreparationWhere`: a restore-recovery hold is listed
for the held-preparation reconciler only when the matching receipt
exists (SQL pre-filter). The settle then re-checks the full rule in JS
before it acts.

**Reason and benefit**
The retired epoch held only preparation files: the hold proof requires
that no provider work started. Its unsaved files were already given up
by the reconciler that wrote the receipt. Waiting for a repair, or for a
service update, cannot finish.

## What Changed

- New `server/src/services/remote-workspace-abandoned-preparation.ts`:
`isAbandonedPreparedRemoteWorkspace` (the strict rule) and
`abandonedPreparedRemoteWorkspaceExists` (its SQL pre-filter).
- `workspace-recovery-receipt.ts`: `hasVerifiedWorkspaceRepair` also
accepts the rule.
- `workspace-recovery-source.ts`: a retired prepared source is
`source_unavailable` / `use_alternative_strategy`.
- `interrupted-preparation-hold-settlement.ts`: restore-recovery holds
are listed only with a matching receipt.
- `interrupted-preparation-hold-settle.test.ts`: held-preparation replay
(before and after the first save committed); a restore-recovery hold in
the exact shape saved by the previous build (`restore_failed`,
`workspaceRestoreRecovery`, exhausted `source_binding_invalid`) that now
settles and replays; inspection reporting `source_unavailable`; and the
rule refusing a workspace still at the run's epoch, a run still the
writer, a native sync reference, another run's receipt, or another
allocation's receipt.

Not changed: `run-completion.ts` and the graceful-drain path in
`recovery.ts`.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/interrupted-preparation-hold-settle.test.ts
src/services/task-retry.test.ts`: 101 pass.
- Red before: with the three recovery files at master, 4 tests fail
(held-preparation replay ×2, the restore-recovery replay, and the
inspection result). Green after.
- Neighbouring recovery suites: see the comment below.
- `cd server && npx tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json`: pass.
- Chaos rerun on a build with this change: see the comment below.

## Risks

- Previous-release story (upgrade-safe run state): no persisted shape
changes. Holds, run references and receipts written by the previous
build are read as they are. The restore-recovery test uses the exact
shape the previous build saved. A task already stuck in that state
settles on the next reconciler pass after deploy.
- The rule needs an exact receipt (run, epoch, lease, provider lease,
cwd) and a later workspace epoch, so a real recovery is never skipped.
Any mismatch keeps today's behavior.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 37808f2a4e fix(accounting): close a local-Runner turn completed across a session restore as a lower bound (#20517)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native runs record usage receipts, and accounting settles a run's
charge once its final receipt is complete.
> - ACPX Claude reports provisional zero usage until a turn ends, then
one final report.
> - A restart can stop the provider after the agent's finish call and
before that final report. The restored Runner then resumes the session
and reports the same turn completed with no complete report.
> - The receipt stayed incomplete, so the accepted run waited for the
10-minute closure timeout and then settled as unpriced. Its spend was
missing from company totals in the meantime.
> - This pull request closes such a turn as a lower bound, the same way
a turn the Runner fails as lost on restore is already closed.
> - The benefit is that an accepted run settles right away with its
observed usage and an honest lower-bound label.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20484 (restart-chaos L1 contention follow-up).

**What happened?**

After #20484 fixed the database contention, restart-chaos L1 (`--seed
20386 --db-pressure 4`, codex and claude, K1) reached 4/4 tasks done.
Each task still failed the T-oracle `company_spend_settled` with
`pending_runs=1`. A replay on master with `--keep`
(`w-20261110T100747-s20386`) reproduced it, and I read the kept
database:

- The pending run (`71f71d10`, ACPX Claude) succeeded and had its result
accepted. Its usage had `accountingReceiptReady: false`, zero tokens,
`costStatus: unpriced`, and no cost event.
- Its only turn started before K1, and every usage report in it was
provisional (`runDeltaComplete: false`). K1 struck right after the
agent's `paperclip_finish` call (source seq 118), before the turn's
final report.
- On restart, recovery verified the local process stopped and resumed
the session (`session.resumed`, seq 119). The restored Runner then
reported the same turn `turn.completed` (seq 124) with no usage report.
- The other Claude run in that wave lost its turn as
`provider_turn_lost_on_restore`, ran a new turn live with full usage,
and settled at once.

**Expected behavior**

An accepted run whose open turn's final report was lost with the
provider process settles promptly. It records its observed usage as a
lower bound, like a turn lost on restore. A complete report that does
arrive after the restore is still used.

**Steps to reproduce**

`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-usage-accounting.test.ts >
closes a turn that completed across a session restore without its final
report, as a lower bound` uses the event sequence from the kept
database. It fails on master because the snapshot stays incomplete.

## What Changed

- `createNativeTurnAccounting` observes `session.resumed` and marks
every open turn as restored. A terminal event for a restored turn
without a complete report marks it lost. The snapshot then closes it as
a lower bound (`accountingUsageLost`), through the existing
lost-on-restore path. A new `turn.started` clears the mark.
- A lost terminal turn keeps its identity in the snapshot, so the
executor's terminal-turn match certifies the final checkpoint as
complete. This came from review.
- The native session executor includes `session.resumed` when it
rebuilds turn state from the run's event log after a controller restart.
- `doc/SPEC-implementation.md` documents the case next to the existing
lost-on-restore rule.

## Verification

- Red on master, green here: `native-usage-accounting.test.ts > closes a
turn that completed across a session restore without its final report,
as a lower bound`. It also checks that replaying the history twice gives
the same snapshot.
- Red on the first revision, green after the review fix:
`native-session-executor.test.ts > certifies a turn completed across a
session restore as a lower bound (history replay: false|true)`. It
drives the restored sequence through executor completion, both live and
from the event history.
- New guards that pass before and after:
- `keeps a restored turn's own final report when it arrives after the
restore`: a complete report after resume is used, not marked lost.
- `keeps an incomplete turn pending when the session resumed before it
started`.
- The existing `keeps an incomplete provider report pending instead of
trusting placeholder zeroes` still passes.
- Related suites pass: `native-usage-accounting`,
`native-usage-delivery.integration`, `closed-native-receipt-accounting`
(107 tests), and the usage, accounting and receipt cases in
`native-session-executor.test.ts` (151 tests). Server typecheck passes.
- Live, restart-chaos L1, seed 20386, `--db-pressure 4`, codex and
claude, K1, head `a6e521f06c`, clean worktree:
`w-20261110T104332-s20386` passed 4/4. R1–R6 and the T-oracle passed for
every task. `company_spend_settled` reported `pending_runs=0` (summary
85.30823 = cost events 85.30823), with zero serialization failures under
about 397k pressure updates. On master the same seed failed every task
on `company_spend_settled pending_runs=1` (`w-20261110T100747-s20386`,
among others).

## Risks

- A restored turn without a complete report now settles at its observed
usage, flagged as a lower bound, instead of after 10 minutes as "closure
timed out". In both cases the final report never arrived. The money
recorded is the same observed usage; only the timing and the provenance
label differ.
- Scope: local Runner only. The executor fallback-recorder path sees
`session.resumed`. The producer-owned delivery path for remote runners
(`native-usage-delivery.ts`, `isNativeUsageAccountingEvent`) still drops
it, so a remote ACPX/OpenCode turn restored mid-turn still waits for the
closure timeout. That is a follow-up.
- No schema or persisted-format change.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (Anthropic), model ID `claude-opus-5-5`, used through
Claude Code with shell, file-edit and code-execution tools.

DottaandClaude 8b3348c6ba fix(runner): classify Claude's rejected selected model as an unavailable model (#20513)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runner agents on the Claude (ACPX) provider run with the
model the user saves on the agent
> - When the provider cannot run that model, Paperclip should classify
the run as `native_provider_model_rejected`, ask the user to choose a
model, and let Retry finish the task
> - Claude Code accepts an unknown model at session start and reports it
only on the first turn, as an AIR `request` failure with a fixed title.
The runner reported it as an unknown provider failure
> - So the run failed as `native_provider_terminal_failed`, and the task
stopped with `provider_effect_inventory_unavailable` ("Automatic
recovery stopped. Recorded work is preserved…") without naming the model
> - This pull request classifies that Claude title as an unavailable
model, the category the native runtime already turns into
`native_provider_model_rejected`
> - The benefit is that an unknown Claude model asks for a model choice
and names it, as Codex does after #20488

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
Config wave `w-20261110T094430-s207-cf` on `master` (82abb3e),
`--adapters claude`: CF3 `model_id` failed both times (t01 K1, t04 K2)
as `CF3/model_id:actionable_message`. The task showed `Stopped`, cause
`provider_effect_inventory_unavailable`, "Automatic recovery stopped.
Recorded work is preserved; actions with unverified outcomes will not be
repeated." The run was `native_provider_terminal_failed`, "ACP agent
reported a terminal request failure."

Root cause, from a direct ACP probe of the bundled
`@agentclientprotocol/claude-agent-acp` 0.73.0 with the AIR
`sessionFailure` capability and the model in
`_meta.claudeCode.options.model` (as ACPX passes it): `session/new`
lists `chaos-missing-model-abc12345` among the model options, so
admission's model check passes. `session/prompt` then returns
`stopReason: "end_turn"` with `_meta.jetbrains.air.sessionFailure` =
`{"category":"request","severity":"error","title":"There's an issue with
the selected model (chaos-missing-model-abc12345). It may not exist or
you may not have access to it. Run --model to pick a different
model.","actions":[]}`. ACPX turns that into "ACP agent reported a
terminal request failure.", and `acpxProviderFailure` classified only
AIR `limit` titles, so the provider failure stayed `unknown`.

(Selecting the same model later through `session/set_config_option`
instead returns JSON-RPC `-32603` "Internal error", `data.details`
"Invalid value for config option model: <id>". The runner does not take
that path for Claude, so this PR does not change it.)

**Expected behavior**
The run is `native_provider_model_rejected`, the task shows
`choose_model` with the rejected model, no recovery incident opens, and
Retry finishes the task after the model is repaired.

**Steps to reproduce**
`node cli/node_modules/tsx/dist/cli.mjs
tests/restart-chaos/config-wave.ts --faults CF3 --adapters claude
--references model_id --tasks 2 --concurrency 2 --restarts K1,K2 --seed
207` on `master`.

**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at 82abb3e.

## What Changed

- `packages/paperclip-runner/src/drivers/acpx/provider-failure.ts`: for
the `claude` agent, an AIR `request` session failure whose title is
Claude Code's fixed "There's an issue with the selected model (…). It
may not exist or you may not have access to it." is classified
`model_unavailable` (`requires_action`). The native runtime already
marks such a failed turn `native_provider_model_rejected`, and the
server already projects that as `choose_model` with `rejectedModel`.
- Other AIR categories, other agents and other request titles stay
`unknown`.
- `server/src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.ts`: a
`native_provider_model_rejected` failure after the provider session
opened now gets a choose-model next action ("The provider rejected the
selected model. Choose a supported model for this agent, then retry the
task. Automatic retries are stopped."). Before, only a rejection before
the session opened got that action; the Claude case fell through to
"Inspect the original provider failure and explicitly resolve the
ambiguous session state; do not open a replacement provider session."
Recovery mode, blocking and retry behavior are unchanged; only the
action text changes.

## Verification

- Red before, green after: `src/drivers/provider-failure.test.ts` —
"classifies Claude's rejection of the selected model as an unavailable
model", with the exact title captured from `claude-agent-acp` 0.73.0,
through both `acpxTerminalResult` and the thrown form, plus negative
cases.
- Red before, green after: `native-startup-retry.integration.test.ts` —
"asks for a model choice when the provider rejects the model on an
opened session's turn (Claude ACPX)": a durable `turn.started` and the
`NativeProviderTerminalFailure` the runtime throws; the coordinator and
the board recovery action name the model choice, not ambiguous state.
- Live: on `master` the wave failed (see above). On this branch:
`w-20261110T103809-s208-cf` on head 3881650 (CF3 `model_id`, claude, K1
and K2): **2/2 pass**. Each task rests as `waiting_for_user` /
`choose_model` with `rejectedModel: "chaos-missing-model-…"`, cause
`native_provider_model_rejected`, next action "The provider rejected the
selected model. Choose a supported model for this agent, then retry the
task. Automatic retries are stopped.", rests again after the restart,
and is done after the model is restored and Retry. An earlier wave on
e552b24 (`w-20261110T100526-s207-cf`, 2/2 pass) still showed the
ambiguous-state text that the second commit replaces.

## Risks

- Low risk. The match is limited to the Claude agent, the AIR `request`
category and Claude Code's fixed title. If Claude Code changes the text,
the run falls back to today's generic failure.
- No profile, digest or pack contract change
(`rules/acpx-profile-identity.mdc`): ordinary Runner source.

Code with tool use (shell, file edits, test runs, a direct ACP probe of
`claude-agent-acp`).

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 57def75d01 fix(run-log): wait for a just-written journal head instead of failing the claim (#20509)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - In cloud mode, run logs use the `s3_segments` store: an object byte
journal whose `head.json` names the current writer
> - Each run start (and each resume after a restart) claims the journal:
it reads the head and publishes the next generation with a conditional
write
> - On an S3-compatible store with read-after-write lag, the head that
the previous generation just published can read as `NoSuchKey`
> - The claim then tries to create a new head, the store rejects the
create because the head exists, and the run fails with
`object_journal_writer_conflict`
> - This pull request makes the claim wait for the head to become
readable when its read said "missing" but the store says it exists
> - The benefit is that a run that resumes right after a restart
survives a store that shows new objects a few seconds late

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
In restart-chaos wave w-20261110T085328-s701 (local, A1/C1, K1/K2,
`--storage s3 --storage-faults ST7`), 3 of 4 tasks failed R3 with
`retry_needed (adapter_failed)`. Every failed run has `failureCause:
object_journal_writer_conflict` and the error "The output journal is
owned by another writer" at `object-byte-journal.ts` `publish` from
`object-run-log-store.ts` `begin`. All six failures happened in the ST7
window (GET/HEAD of a just-written key answers 404 `NoSuchKey` for 24
s), right after back-to-back K1 restarts. The proxy lagged 34
`GetObject` reads.

**Expected behavior**
A resuming run claims the run log and continues. A store that is slow to
show a new object must not look like another writer.

**Steps to reproduce**
Claim a journal, then claim it again while the store answers `NoSuchKey`
for `head.json` for a short time. The second claim fails with
`ObjectJournalConflictError`.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/object-byte-journal.ts`: `claim()` reads the head
and claims from it. When the head read as missing and the create fails
as a conflict, it waits with backoff (250 ms doubling to 4 s, up to 60
s) and claims again from the head it then reads. A conflict on a head it
could read, or a deletion tombstone, still fails at once.
- `server/src/services/object-byte-journal.test.ts`: a new test hides a
just-written head for three reads. Before this change the second claim
fails with "The output journal is owned by another writer". After it,
the claim gets the next generation and keeps the committed bytes.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run src/services/object-byte-journal.test.ts
src/services/object-run-log-store-tail-read.test.ts
src/services/object-run-log-store.test.ts
src/services/run-log-store-cancellation.test.ts
src/services/run-log-store.test.ts`: 83 pass. The new test fails before
the fix and passes after.
- `cd server && npx tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json` passes.
- Live: an ST7 rerun on a build with this fix follows in a comment.

## Risks

- A claim on a journal that a truly concurrent first writer just created
waits up to 60 s for that head and then claims after it. The caller
already asserted execution authority, so it is the owner; it would claim
after that head anyway once the head is readable.
- A store that never shows the head makes the claim fail after 60 s
instead of at once.

## Model Used

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

DottaandClaude dc9971bdb8 fix(native): keep another server's orphan sweep off a lease its owner took back (#20508)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A native run holds an executor lease on its
`native_run_finalizations` row. #20474 lets the same owner take back its
own lease when the lease lapsed only because the host slept.
> - That take-back is safe only if every other actor that acts on a
lapsed lease records its action under the coordinator row lock first.
The plan `doc/plans/2026-11-09-explicit-native-lease-claim-tokens.md`
lists the actors that do not. Gap 2 is another server's orphan sweep.
> - The sweep reads the lease as lapsed. Later it writes the
ownership-unverified marker on the run, without the coordinator lock and
without a new check of the lease. If the owner wakes and takes its lease
back between the read and the write, a healthy run gets the marker.
> - The board then shows "automatic recovery is blocked" on a run that
works. After the next host sleep, the owner cannot take its lease back,
so the turn is interrupted and the user must click Retry. The owner's
rule is that a task interrupted by sleep must resume by itself.
> - This pull request makes the sweep write its marker under the
coordinator row lock, and only while no executor lease on the run is
live.
> - The benefit is that exactly one side wins: the sweep marks a run
whose owner did not come back, and it leaves alone a run whose owner
took its lease back.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20474

**What happened?**
Two servers share one database. Server A's host sleeps, so the executor
lease of its native run lapses. Server B's orphan sweep reads the lapsed
lease. Server A wakes and takes its lease back (#20474). Server B then
writes `native_execution_ownership_unverified` on the run that A still
owns.

**What did you expect?**
Server B writes the marker only if the lease is still lapsed when it
writes. One side wins.

**Steps to reproduce**
`server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-native-orphan-sweep-lease-race.test.ts`
holds the owner's take-back open, runs the real
`heartbeatService(db).reapOrphanedRuns()` until its write waits on a
lock, then commits the take-back. Before this change the run ends with
`errorCode: native_execution_ownership_unverified` and the owner's next
take-back fails with `native_session_lease_lost`.

## What Changed

- `setRunStatusFromLive`
(`server/src/services/heartbeat/run-lifecycle.ts`) has a new option
`onlyWhileNativeLeaseLapsed`. It locks the coordinator row first. This
is the same order that `lockNativeExecutionLeaseForReacquire` uses. The
UPDATE then requires that no executor lease on the run is live.
- `markNativeOwnershipUnverified`
(`server/src/services/heartbeat/recovery.ts`) takes `leaseLapsed`. The
orphan sweep in `recoverActiveExecutions` sets it when it read the lease
as lapsed or unset. Other callers do not change. They keep the same call
shape.
- A new regression test, red before the fix:
`server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-native-orphan-sweep-lease-race.test.ts`.
It also checks that the sweep still marks a lapsed run whose owner did
not come back, and that the late owner stays fenced out.
- `doc/plans/2026-11-09-explicit-native-lease-claim-tokens.md`: gap 2 is
marked closed without the epoch design.

## Verification

- `cd server && pnpm exec vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-native-orphan-sweep-lease-race.test.ts` — red on
`origin/master` (the run keeps the marker), green with this change.
- `cd server && pnpm exec vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-native-orphan-sweep-lease-race.test.ts
src/services/heartbeat/recovery.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-execution-lease-reacquire.test.ts
src/__tests__/heartbeat-status-preserving-telemetry.test.ts` — 129
passed.
- `cd server && pnpm exec tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json` — clean.
- Restart-chaos time-fault wave on this branch: see the wave comment
below.

## Risks

- Low risk. Only the orphan sweep's marker write changes, and only for a
run whose lease it read as lapsed. The sweep now takes the coordinator
row lock before the run row. The owner's take-back uses the same order,
so the two cannot deadlock.
- If the owner took the lease back, the sweep now writes nothing and
appends no event. The next sweep sees a live lease and defers, as
before.
- The other gaps in the plan (workspace finalization, shared-workspace
holder detection, board copyback confirmation) do not change.

## Model Used

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

DottaandClaude a09093a5c5 fix(native): resume a run whose turn.start a restart cut off before Codex created the turn (#20507)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A native Codex run sends `turn.start` to its runner, and the runner
sends `turn/start` to Codex. The runner marks the start "ambiguous"
before it sends the request
> - A control-plane restart can kill the runner and Codex while that
request is in flight. After the restart, neither journal says whether
Codex created the turn, and the resumed thread has no active turn
> - The restored runner then failed closed on every same-run resume with
"cannot safely recover an ambiguous Codex turn start without an active
replacement turn". The answer never reached the agent
> - The next run on the task was refused at the runner-state fence
(`prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate;
retirement_refused=journal_commands_unsettled(turn.start.failed)`)
before it asked for a runner. Retry after that run then waited forever
on `process_identity_missing` for a process that never existed
> - This pull request lets the runner prove from Codex's own thread
history that the start never created a turn, and then resume and start
the turn once. It also lets Retry continue after a run that the
runner-state fence refused before launch
> - The benefit is that a turn start cut off by a restart continues by
itself when Codex never saw it, and a person's Retry is no longer a dead
end

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
Local restart-chaos wave `w-20261110T033426-s108`. Command: `--env local
--adapters codex --workloads Q1,Q2 --faults K1 --triggers answered
--tasks 4 --concurrency 2 --seed 108`. Task t03 (Q2): the answer run
`92a57f50` resumed after the first restart. A second K1 restart landed
0.25 s after `session.resumed`, while its `turn.start` was in flight.
Each same-run resume then failed with `PRP command session.snapshot
failed: cannot safely recover an ambiguous Codex turn start without an
active replacement turn`. When the prerequisite finished, the next run
`0e6aa9d1` failed before launch with `runner_state_identity_mismatch:
prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate;
retirement_refused=journal_commands_unsettled(turn.start.failed)`. The
accepted Retry (202) never created a run: the task stayed on
`retryWait.reason=process_identity_missing` until the wave timed out
(`R3:retry_no_new_run`).

**Expected behavior**
If Codex never created the turn, the run resumes and starts it once by
itself. If that cannot be proven, a person's Retry starts a new run
instead of waiting forever.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run the wave command above on master.
2. Or run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec vitest run
src/live/runnerd-codex-transport-cut-turn-start.test.ts` on master (case
"before" fails with the wave error).

## What Changed

- Runner (`codex_provider.rs`, `provider_backend.rs`): when the restored
provider state has an ambiguous turn start, no active turn before the
loss, and the resumed thread has no active turn, the runner reads the
newest turn of the thread (`thread/turns/list`, limit 1, metadata only,
the same request `read_thread` already sends). If there is no turn, or
the newest turn is one Paperclip already settled, Codex never created
the turn. The runner clears the ambiguity, emits a `harness.diagnostic`
with code `ambiguous_turn_start_not_created`, and restores an idle
session. The old `turn.start` stays `execution_indeterminate` and is
never executed again. The same-run resume then starts the run's turn
once, through the existing "recovered session without an active turn"
path.
- Any other history (a turn Paperclip never settled, an in-progress
turn, an incomplete page, a non-Codex provider) keeps today's
fail-closed error. The probe runs only on this recovery path. The normal
turn path does no new work before `turn.start`.
- Server (`native-local-process-stop.ts`): `nativeRunNeverLaunched` also
accepts a failed native run whose error is the runner-state fence
refusal `runner_state_identity_mismatch: prior_owner_*` (or
`legacy_prior_owner_*`). The executor throws it only while it migrates
another run's saved state, before it requests a launch. The existing
evidence check still applies: any launch request, identity record,
`adapter.invoke` or runner event keeps the run held. Other runner-state
errors (for example `authority_indeterminate`) stay held.
- Fake Codex (`fake-codex-app-server.rs`): keeps the thread's turn
history in a `<state-file>.turns` sidecar, so `thread/turns/list`
returns history like real Codex (newest first, honours `limit`). New
`--hang-turn-start <file>` holds `turn/start` "before" or "after" the
thread records the turn, to model a kill in flight.
- Tests:
- New real-runnerd test
`runnerd-codex-transport-cut-turn-start.test.ts`. A real runner and fake
Codex start a turn; both processes are killed while `turn/start` is in
flight. "before": the resumed run completes, the journal holds the old
`turn.start` (`execution_indeterminate`) and one new completed
`turn.start` with the same task text, and Codex saw exactly one more
`turn/start`. "after": recovery still fails closed and no new
`turn/start` is sent.
- Rust:
`ambiguous_turn_start_that_never_created_a_turn_recovers_and_starts_once`
and
`ambiguous_turn_start_that_created_an_unsettled_turn_still_fails_closed`.
Both rewrite saved provider state the way a master runner wrote it, so
they also cover state saved before this change.
- `explicit-native-continuation.test.ts`: five new rows for the
runner-state fence. Admitted: refused before launch (with and without a
coordinator). Held on `process_identity_missing`: refused after a launch
request, refused after a runner event, and a run that failed its own
`authority_indeterminate` check.
- `docs/durable-recovery.md`: describes both behaviours.

## Verification

- Red/green, real runnerd: on master (the staged master runnerd),
`runnerd-codex-transport-cut-turn-start.test.ts` "before" fails with
`PRP command runner.drain failed: ... cannot safely recover an ambiguous
Codex turn start without an active replacement turn`, the wave error.
With this change, both cases pass.
- Red/green, Rust: without the `provider_backend.rs` change, `cargo test
-p paperclip-runner-core --test codex_provider
ambiguous_turn_start_that` fails the "never created" test. With it, both
pass. The full `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core` passes.
- Red/green, server: without the `native-local-process-stop.ts` change,
the two "refused at the prior-owner runner-state fence" rows fail with
`process_identity_missing`. With it, all 14 rows pass.
- Related suites pass: 11 Runner transport files, 419 tests
(`runnerd-codex-transport`, `-attachment-recovery`, `-cold-restore`,
`-warm-attachment`, `-release-resume`, `-cut-attach`, `-cut-turn-start`,
`-settlement`, `-suspension`, `runnerd-restart-continuation`,
`runnerd-saved-continuation`); server `explicit-native-continuation`,
`quarantined-task-retry` and `issue-confirm-run-stopped-routes`, 3
files, 470 tests; full `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core`.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec tsc --noEmit` and
server `tsc --noEmit` pass.
- Pack `contractDigest` is unchanged: `sha256:3164357d…` before and
after (`scripts/contracts/contract-fingerprints.mjs`).
- Live proof: the wave command above on this branch. Results follow in a
comment.

**No duplicate provider work.** The runner starts a new turn only when
Codex's own history proves the cut-off start created nothing. The old
command is never executed again (the runner refuses an `indeterminate`
command). A recorded turn that Paperclip never settled keeps the run
failed closed.

## Risks

- Low-medium risk. The runner change runs only while it restores a
session whose saved state has an ambiguous turn start and no active
turn. Before this change, that run could never continue.
- The proof relies on Codex recording a turn in the thread before it
runs anything. If Codex accepted the request but died before it wrote
the turn, the runner treats the start as not created and starts the turn
once. Codex writes the user turn to the thread when it starts the turn,
before it asks the model for output, so no model output or tool call is
expected without a recorded turn.
- If the thread's newest turn is not in the runner's settled set (for
example after a provider identity epoch rollover forgot older
identities), the runner keeps failing closed, as today.
- **Open decision (not changed here):** when Codex did record the
cut-off turn, it may have done work. This pull request keeps the run
failed closed and does not replay or adopt that turn. Continuing is a
person's decision through Retry or a new message.
- The server change trusts the executor's own error text
`runner_state_identity_mismatch: prior_owner_*`, together with the
absence of every launch and runner event. A run that requested a launch
keeps every stop proof.
- **Runner release:** the pack `contractDigest` does not change. Local
runners use the runnerd built with the app, so the fix applies with this
release.
- Not covered: the related `authority_indeterminate` variant in the same
wave (t04, Q1) is a separate cause; its Retry already worked in that
wave.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 0b20ea6fe9 fix(accounting): keep budget admission and usage handoff alive under run-row updates (#20484)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Before a run starts provider work, Paperclip reserves its budget and
binds a usage recorder. Both write the run's `heartbeat_runs` row.
> - Run-log appends, output progress and lifecycle events update that
same row while the run prepares and streams.
> - #20385 fixed this race for the standalone usage-receipt write only.
Budget admission and the recorder handoff still take a repeatable-read
snapshot before they lock the run row.
> - Each concurrent row update makes that snapshot stale. Four retries
run out with SQLSTATE `40001`, and the run ends `adapter_failed` with
raw SQL as its error.
> - This pull request applies the #20385 pattern (READ COMMITTED under
the existing locks) to those writers and to the final dispatch gate. It
also gives exhausted retries a bounded cause.
> - The benefit is that busy runs start and account normally, and a
remaining failure names its cause.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20385. Builds on #20483 (bounded failure cause and
`withoutSqlStatementText`).

**What happened?**

The restart-chaos L1 workload with `--db-pressure 4` (harness writers
that update each running run row, one row per statement, like a fast
stream) failed on master. In one wave, 0 of 4 tasks passed. Every first
run failed in `reserveRunBudget` before spawn. In an earlier wave, a run
failed in `createRunUsageRecorder`. The stack in both cases is `could
not serialize access due to concurrent update` (`40001`) on the run-row
`FOR UPDATE`. The board `runError` showed the full `select ... from
heartbeat_runs ... for update` statement. The server log line `heartbeat
execution failed` dropped the database cause.

Realism: the harness writers are synthetic, but the product has the same
writers on the same row. `appendHeartbeatRunEvent` increments
`next_event_seq`, output progress updates `last_output_*`, and lifecycle
events land while a run prepares. On a hosted database the window
between snapshot and row lock is wider than locally, so a busy run
reaches the same race without the harness.

**Expected behavior**

Budget admission and the recorder handoff commit while other writers
update the run row. Budget invariants stay intact: one reservation per
run, a reached hard stop still refuses work, and committed holds count
against later admissions. Usage receipts are journaled once. If retries
still run out, the run shows a bounded cause without SQL, and the server
log records the SQLSTATE.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run `server/src/services/run-accounting-contention.test.ts` against the
parent commit. The deterministic cases commit a real
`appendHeartbeatRunEvent` after the writer's transaction checks the
company and before it locks the run. Six of the eight cases fail with
`40001`.

## What Changed

- `reserveRunBudget` runs at READ COMMITTED. All mutable reads follow
the shared admission fences, the agent `FOR SHARE` lock and the run-row
`FOR UPDATE`. Exposure stays one SQL statement (hold-to-ledger atomic).
The `budget_reservations_run_idx` unique index and the run lock still
prevent a second hold.
- The final dispatch gate's accounting phase
(`dispatchResolvedInteractionIfCurrent` through `withIssueThenRunLocks`
in `run-dispatch/adapters/postgres.ts`) runs at READ COMMITTED. Its
ownership phase already read the same staleness facts at READ COMMITTED
under the same issue and run locks. Retry promotion and stale-run
cancellation keep their repeatable-read snapshot. The first L1 proof
wave found this writer exhausting `40001` once the other three were
fixed.
- `createRunUsageRecorder` runs its receipt-source handoff and its
capture-failure fence at READ COMMITTED. Both lock the run row first,
the same as `persistUsageReceipt` after #20385.
- `withOperationAccountingTransaction` raises
`AccountingContentionError` when retries run out. It has a bounded
message, `code` keeps the SQLSTATE (`40001`/`40P01`), `cause` keeps the
database error, and a warning logs both.
- `failRun` shows that bounded message. The code stays `adapter_failed`,
so chat and recovery retry paths still apply. #20483's `failureCause`
records `40001`. All other SQL text handling comes from #20483
(`withoutSqlStatementText`), unchanged here.
- `doc/DATABASE.md` documents the isolation choice and the failure
contract.

### Inventory of REPEATABLE READ / SERIALIZABLE transactions that write
run-scoped rows

| Writer | Status | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `persistUsageReceipt` (`usage-receipts.ts`) | Fixed in #20385 | READ
COMMITTED under the run lock. |
| `reserveRunBudget` (`budget-reservations.ts`) | Fixed here | Seen in
waves (`budget-reservations.ts:90`). |
| `createRunUsageRecorder` handoff (`usage-receipts.ts`) | Fixed here |
Seen in waves (`usage-receipts.ts:572`). |
| `createRunUsageRecorder` capture-failure fence (`persistFailure`) |
Fixed here | Same shape: run lock first, runs mid-stream. |
| Native finalizer `claimCoordinator` (`native-run-finalizer.ts`) | Safe
| A default READ COMMITTED transaction with `FOR UPDATE` on the
coordinator row. It cannot raise `40001`. The wave errors there were
`native_finalization_missing`, a symptom of the failed reservation (no
coordinator existed yet). |
| Final dispatch gate, accounting phase
(`dispatchResolvedInteractionIfCurrent`) | Fixed here | Seen in proof
wave `w-20261110T075857-s20386` (runs `140ddb10`, `c028c6c4`,
`fea0ee5a`). Its ownership phase already used READ COMMITTED under the
same locks with the same staleness reads. |
| Retry promotion and stale-run cancellation (`promoteOrCancelDueRetry`,
`cancelStaleQueuedRun`, same lock helper) | Follow-up | Kept at
repeatable read: `loadGateFacts` combines wakes, comments, dependencies,
tree holds and repair state in one decision. They act on queued or
scheduled runs, not streaming ones. Not seen failing in waves. If
retries run out, they now fail with the bounded cause. |
| Run settlement `accountRunCost` (`run-cost-accounting.ts`) | Follow-up
| Seen with `40001` in a wave log. Leaves the run pending;
`reconcileRunCosts` retries it durably. Multi-aggregate (coordinator,
receipts, images, closure). |
| Tool cost events (`paperclip-runner-tool-authority.ts`, `costs.ts`) |
Safe | Insert `cost_events` only; the run row is referenced, not locked
or updated. |
| Budget enforcement and evaluation (`budgets.ts`), billing
reconciliation, accounting-integrity repair | Safe | Lock policy,
invoice or company rows, not a streaming run row. Run reads are plain
selects. |
| Browser use, decisions, prompt-injection, fast responses | Safe |
Write their own invocation/reservation rows, not `heartbeat_runs`. |
| Read-only RR snapshots (`withAccountingReadSnapshot`, idle-sleep, tool
gateway, customer success, `routes/decisions.ts`) | Safe | Read only, or
no run-scoped writes. |

## Verification

- Red on the parent commit, green on this branch:
`server/src/services/run-accounting-contention.test.ts` (real embedded
PostgreSQL).
- `reserveRunBudget > reserves once when run events commit between its
company check and its run lock` (red: `40001`)
- `reserveRunBudget > reserves every run while back-to-back writers
update the run row` (red: `40001`)
- `reserveRunBudget > counts every committed hold, so successive
admissions never exceed the budget` (red)
- `reserveRunBudget > still refuses a run once the hard stop is reached`
(red: `40001` instead of `409`)
- `createRunUsageRecorder > binds its receipt source when run events
commit between its company check and its run lock` (red: `40001`; green
asserts the spooled receipt is journaled exactly once)
- `createRunUsageRecorder > binds while back-to-back writers update the
run row` (red: `40001`)
- `reserveRunBudget > never creates a second reservation for one run
when two dispatches race` (invariant; passes before and after)
- `final dispatch gate > admits and hands off a reserved run when run
events commit between its company check and its run lock` (red:
`AccountingContentionError` after 4 × `40001`)
- `createRunUsageRecorder > persists its capture-failure fence once when
run events commit between its company check and its run lock`
- `final dispatch gate > admits while back-to-back writers update the
run row` (red: `40001`)
- `exhausted retries > fail with a bounded, SQL-free cause that keeps
the SQLSTATE` (new contract)
- `run-completion.test.ts > saves a bounded cause and keeps the
retryable generic code when accounting retries are exhausted` (saved
code, message and `failureCause`, and log fields, through `failRun`)
- Related suites pass: `usage-receipts-read`,
`admission-independent-of-cleanup`, `budget-live-attempts`,
`idle-accounting-work`, `budget-enforcement-scoping`,
`closed-native-receipt-accounting`, `budget-evaluation-work`,
`run-dispatch/adapters/postgres`, `heartbeat/run-completion` (all 126
run-completion cases pass; its `afterAll` embedded-PostgreSQL teardown
exceeded 30 s on this loaded host, the known local flake).
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` passes.
- Latency of `reserveRunBudget` on the normal path (no contention,
embedded PostgreSQL, 350 measured reservations per run, 3 runs each):
before p50 14.7 / 15.0 / 18.6 ms, p95 25.6 / 31.4 / 39.4 ms; after p50
14.2 / 14.0 / 16.6 ms, p95 29.7 / 24.0 / 29.3 ms. No added latency: the
statements are the same, only the isolation level changes. Under
contention it removes the retry backoff.
- Live restart-chaos L1 waves (`--seed 20386 --db-pressure 4`, codex and
claude, K1):
- Master before this change: `w-20261110T050818-s20386`, 0/4. Every
first run failed in `reserveRunBudget` with `40001`.
- Head `90530789b0` (first three writers fixed):
`w-20261110T075857-s20386`, 2/4. Both codex tasks passed. Both claude
failures (t02, t03) trace to the dispatch gate, now fixed. Those runs
already showed the bounded cause, with no SQL on the board. The failure
was logged with `sqlState` 40001. No `reserveRunBudget` or recorder
`40001` remained.
- Head `d5ed21926f` (dispatch gate fixed): `w-20261110T090531-s20386`.
All 4 tasks reached done with no retry and R1–R6 passed. There were no
failed runs and zero `40001` in the server log, under 310k pressure
updates. Each task still failed the T-oracle `company_spend_settled`
with `pending_runs=1`. That pending run is t02's continuation run
`601ae80a`, cancelled before provider work as `issue_terminal_status`,
whose accounting debt was not yet settled when graded about 15 s later.
It is not a contention failure. Caveat: I edited the worktree during
this wave (`worktree_changed_mid_wave`), so a clean wave on the final
head follows.
- Final head `9f1c480717`, clean worktree: `w-20261110T094417-s20386`.
All 4 tasks reached done with no retry, and R1–R6 passed for each. There
were no failed runs and zero serialization failures in the server log,
under about 523k pressure updates. Each task still fails only the
T-oracle `company_spend_settled` (`pending_runs=1`). It is the same
cancelled pre-provider continuation run (`issue_terminal_status`), whose
accounting debt was still unsettled at grading. That is a separate
settlement-timing follow-up, not database contention. Master was 0/4 on
the same seed.

## Risks

- READ COMMITTED gives each statement its own snapshot. Admission reads
policy, scope and exposure in separate statements. The shared
company/project fences and the agent share lock exclude concurrent pause
and policy edits, and exposure stays one statement, so each read is at
least as fresh as the old snapshot.
- Concurrent admissions of different runs stay best-effort, as
`doc/SPEC-implementation.md` already states ("concurrent starts can
exceed the same observed balance"). This change does not widen that
window: each statement snapshot is newer than the old transaction
snapshot. It does not add a company mutex.
- A run that fails after exhausted retries now records
`accounting_contention` instead of `adapter_failed`. Retry rules that
key on `adapter_failed` spawn-like messages did not match this failure
before, so no automatic retry changes.
- No schema, migration or persisted-format change.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (Anthropic), model ID `claude-opus-5-5`, used through
Claude Code with shell, file-edit and code-execution tools.

DottaandClaude 82abb3ea04 fix(native): classify a Codex API-key unknown model as a model rejection (#20488)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runner agents run on a provider (here Codex) with a model the
user saves on the agent
> - When the provider rejects that model, Paperclip should classify the
run as `native_provider_model_rejected`, ask the user to choose a model,
and let Retry finish the task
> - Paperclip recognized only the ChatGPT-account rejection (a 400 JSON
envelope). With API-key auth, Codex returns a different terminal error
for an unknown model
> - So the run failed as a generic `adapter_failed` ("Native session
failed"), and recovery opened a reconciliation incident ("Recovery
needed") for a turn that never did any work
> - This pull request recognizes the real API-key shape, bound to the
configured model, and names the rejected model on the task
> - The benefit is that the task asks for a model choice instead of a
reconciliation, and Retry completes the task after the user picks a
valid model

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
The restart-chaos config fault CF3 `model_id` saves a Codex agent with
the model `chaos-missing-model-<nonce>`. The run stays "running" for
about 60 seconds, then fails with `errorCode: adapter_failed`, "Native
session failed". The task shows "Recovery needed", cause
`native_continuation_requires_reconciliation`. The grader fails as
`CF3/model_id:actionable_message` (waves `w-20261110T061914-s206-cf` t01
and `w-20261110T053831-s205-cf` t02).

Root cause: the wave runs Codex with an OpenAI API key. I drove the
bundled `codex app-server` (0.160.0) directly with an unknown model:
- With API-key auth, Codex retries the Responses API 404 ten times
(about 59 s), then fails the turn with `{"message":"unexpected status
404 Not Found: The model \`<id>\` does not exist or you do not have
access to it., url: https://api.openai.com/v1/responses, cf-ray: …,
request id:
req_…","codexErrorInfo":{"httpConnectionFailed":{"httpStatusCode":404}}}`.
- With ChatGPT auth, the turn fails in about 3 s with `message` =
`{"type":"error","status":400,"error":{"type":"invalid_request_error","message":"The
'<id>' model is not supported when using Codex with a ChatGPT
account.","code":"model_not_found"}}`. Paperclip already classified this
one.

`createNativeProviderFailureObservation` parsed only the JSON envelope,
and the runner's provider-failure category for an HTTP 404 is `unknown`.
The terminal therefore stayed unclassified.

**Expected behavior**
The run is `native_provider_model_rejected`, the task shows `userAction:
"choose_model"` and names the model, no reconciliation incident opens,
and Retry completes the task after the user picks a valid model.

**Steps to reproduce**
`node cli/node_modules/tsx/dist/cli.mjs
tests/restart-chaos/config-wave.ts --faults CF3 --adapters codex
--references model_id --tasks 1 --concurrency 1 --restarts K2 --seed
206` on `master` (with `OPENAI_API_KEY` set).

**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at 5ab98b0.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/native-runtime/native-provider-failure.ts`: the
Codex observation recognizes the API-key terminal shape
(`codexErrorInfo` `httpConnectionFailed` or `responseStreamDisconnected`
with `httpStatusCode: 404`, and the message prefix for the configured
model only). It classifies it as `native_provider_model_rejected` with a
new closed diagnostic `NATIVE_MODEL_NOT_FOUND_DIAGNOSTIC` (`codex`,
`model_not_found`, `404`, `api_key`). No provider text or model name is
stored in the diagnostic. A recoverable turn, another model's 404, or
another status is not classified.
- `readNativeModelRejectionDiagnostic` accepts both closed diagnostics,
so run failure diagnostics show it.
- `TaskInterruptionPresentation.rejectedModel` (shared type): with
`userAction: "choose_model"`, the task query carries the model id from
the run's native execution input. Only a
`native_provider_model_rejected` run discloses it.
- `TaskChatThread` names the model in the "Model unavailable" marker:
`The provider rejected the model "<id>".`
- The restart-chaos config wave reads `interruption.rejectedModel` as
task-level text. For `choose_model`, its repair step uses the Retry that
the "Model unavailable" marker offers (`POST /agents/{id}/wakeup` with
`reason: "retry_failed_run"`, the same request as
`agentsApi.retryFailedRun`), because a model rejection does not offer
the task-level Retry.

## Verification

- Red before, green after (the classification line disabled makes both
fail):
- `native-provider-failure.test.ts` — "classifies the API-key 404 for
the configured model as a model rejection (codex 0.160.0 shape)", with
the exact terminal error captured from `codex app-server` 0.160.0, plus
negative cases.
- `native-provider-failure.integration.test.ts` — new `api-key` scenario
through `executePaperclipNativeSession`, the persisted evidence reader
and `finalizeNativeRun`: the run ends `native_provider_model_rejected`,
the issue is `blocked` with that decision, and no issue recovery action
is created.
- `task-interruption-query.test.ts` — the real task query carries
`rejectedModel` only for a model rejection. `TaskChatThread.test.tsx` —
the marker names the model.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck`, `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/server typecheck`, `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui
typecheck` pass.
- Live proof: config wave `w-20261110T090801-s206-cf` (CF3 `model_id`,
codex with an OpenAI API key, K2, seed 206) on commit 05e8938: **1/1
pass**. The run ends `native_provider_model_rejected`; the task rests as
`waiting_for_user` / `choose_model` with `rejectedModel:
"chaos-missing-model-472e1851"` and execution cause
`native_provider_model_rejected` (no reconciliation incident), rests
again after the K2 restart, and finishes 27 s after the model is
restored and the marker's Retry is used. On `master` the same wave
failed as `actionable_message` with "Recovery needed" /
`native_continuation_requires_reconciliation`
(`w-20261110T061914-s206-cf`).

## Risks

- Low risk. The match is bound to the configured model, a 404 status and
a non-recoverable turn, so other provider failures keep their current
behavior.
- The match depends on the Codex terminal text. If a later Codex release
changes it, the run falls back to the old generic failure, not to a
wrong classification.
- Claude (ACPX) unknown models are not changed here. Claude Code reports
an unknown model as a synthetic assistant message ("There's an issue
with the selected model …") rather than a provider error; this PR does
not change or live-verify that path.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A Daytona R1 × K1 restart-chaos wave (`w-20261110T071047-s7101`,
`--storage s3`) killed the server during the initial workspace save of 3
runs. The save operations ended `failed` /
`remote_workspace_save_abandoned`. Their `execution_workspace_snapshots`
rows stayed `pending` permanently, with no object key and no upload
attempt. The workspaces later committed newer snapshots (authority epoch
3, row epoch 1). Every ownership report afterwards flagged 3
`I2_settled` violations of kind `remote_snapshot_ledger`.

**Expected behavior**
When a save is abandoned and its run and writer epoch have ended, its
pending ledger row reaches a terminal state, and the ownership report
shows no `I2_settled` violation for it.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a Daytona R1 × K1 wave with `--storage s3` and K1 at about +65 s,
so the restart lands inside the initial remote workspace save.
2. Let the runs finish or fail and the workspace commit a newer
snapshot.
3. Read `execution_workspace_snapshots`: the abandoned rows are still
`pending`. The server log shows `I2_settled` violations for
`remote_snapshot_ledger` on each report.

**Paperclip version or commit**
master at 5c9641f141.

## What Changed

- New
`server/src/services/recovery/remote-snapshot-ledger-settlement.ts`:
- `retireEndedRemoteSnapshotLedgerRow` retires one `pending` row of a
`remote_workspace_snapshot` save. It requires that the save has no
running invocation, the source run is terminal, and the writer epoch has
ended (the workspace epoch or writer moved on). A row with no upload
attempt becomes `deleted`, because no object exists. A row with upload
attempts becomes `delete_requested`; no reader adopts it, and snapshot
retention owns its objects. It writes `lastError` and an
`abandonedUpload` provenance record.
- `settleAbandonedRemoteSnapshotLedger` is the settle path of the
`remote_snapshot_ledger` kind. It writes a
`workspace_snapshot.reconciled` activity row.
- `settleAbandonedRemoteSnapshotSave` now also retires the save's
pending ledger row in the same transaction, when the conditions above
already hold.
- `ownership-registry.ts`: `remote_snapshot_ledger` now has `settle:
settleAbandonedRemoteSnapshotLedger`.
- `remote-workspace-snapshot-retention.ts`: the failed-save retry pin no
longer holds a `delete_requested` row whose `abandonedUpload` names its
own source operation. Retention then deletes its attempted objects after
the grace deadline. All other pins stay.
- No schema change: `deleted` and `delete_requested` already exist.

## Verification

- Red/green:
`server/src/__tests__/remote-snapshot-ledger-settlement.test.ts` (3
tests) fails on master (no settle, rows stay `pending`) and passes with
this change.
- Old-saved/new-resumed: a pending row in the exact shape an older build
saved (failed save with `remote_workspace_save_abandoned`, run failed,
workspace at epoch 3) settles on the first pass, with no `I2_settled`
violation on the second pass.
- Keeps an `uploaded` row, a row whose run is live, a row whose save a
retry reopened, and a row whose run still holds the current writer
epoch. A row with upload attempts goes to `delete_requested` and keeps
its deadline.
- Restart mid-upload: the same settle that abandons a running save also
retires its ledger row.
- Red/green: a new retention test runs retention past the deadline. It
deletes the objects of a retired row and keeps a failed save's retry pin
when its row was not retired.
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/remote-snapshot-ledger-settlement.test.ts
src/__tests__/ownership-reconciliation-report.test.ts
src/services/remote-workspace-snapshot-retention.test.ts` passes.
- `cd server && npx tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json` passes.
- Live: a Daytona R1 × K1 wave with K1 inside the initial save. Results
are added in a comment below.

## Risks

- Low risk. The settle only moves `pending` rows with no published
object key. It never touches `uploaded`, `committed` or `superseded`
rows.
- A retry of the same save reuses the same ledger row. The settle
refuses while the save operation is running or pending, while its save
work has live or unknown invocations, while the source run is not
terminal, and while that run still holds the current writer epoch. A
retry is not possible after these hold.
- Previous-release story: rows that older builds left `pending` carry
forward. The new `remote_snapshot_ledger` settle path retires them on
the next reconciler pass when the same conditions hold.
- Objects of a retired row with upload attempts are deleted by snapshot
retention after the row's grace deadline, and only when no other pin
holds the row. Retention rechecks every pin before it deletes.

DottaandClaude 1402e92d1f fix(native): take back an executor lease that lapsed only because the host slept (#20474)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A native run holds an execution lease on its
`native_run_finalizations` row. The lease lasts 20 minutes, and the
owner renews it every 5 minutes.
> - When a laptop sleeps for longer than the lease, the wall clock and
the database clock move past `lease_expires_at`. The server's monotonic
timers barely move.
> - After the wake, the next renewal finds its own lease expired. It
interrupts a healthy turn with `native_session_lease_lost`, and the user
must click Retry. Nobody else took the lease.
> - Several background consumers act on an expired lease without
changing its owner. So expiry alone cannot simply be ignored for the
owner.
> - This pull request makes takeover explicit. The same owner can take
back its own lapsed lease only when no other actor has recorded anything
on the row or the run.
> - The benefit is that a run interrupted only by host sleep continues
with no Retry. A real takeover still fences the late owner out.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
The restart-chaos time fault TM2 stops the server and runner tree and
ages every database time by one hour, as a stand-in for a laptop that
slept. After the thaw, the next 5-minute renewal of the native execution
lease found the lease expired. It interrupted the turn
(`turn.interrupted` at 300 s, `native_session_lease_lost`). The failure
settlement was then refused with the same code, and the UI showed
"Couldn't finish this attempt" with Retry. The owner, attempt, boot and
pid were unchanged. Evidence: wave `w-20261110T051535-s304` t01 (TM2, 1
h) failed R3. t02 in the same wave (TM1, a 113 s server-only freeze with
no clock jump) passed, so the failure follows the clock jump and not the
pause.

**Is this a harness artifact?**
No. TM2 ages the stored rows, and a real sleep moves the clock forward.
Both produce the same comparison: a stored `lease_expires_at` is earlier
than `clock_timestamp()` after the wake. The server's renewal timer and
local deadline use the monotonic clock. On macOS and Linux that clock
does not count suspended time, so they do not notice the sleep in either
case. The first database check after the wake is the renewal predicate
`lease_expires_at > clock_timestamp()`, and it fails in both cases.

**Expected behavior**
A run whose lease lapsed only because time jumped, and that no other
actor claimed, keeps running and finishes without Retry.

**Steps to reproduce**
`node cli/node_modules/tsx/dist/cli.mjs tests/restart-chaos/main.ts
--env local --adapters codex --workloads B5 --faults TM2
--time-age-hours 1 --concurrency 1 --tasks 2 --seed 304` with the
harness from #20458.

Refs #20458, #20500

## What Changed

- `native-execution-lease.ts`: add `nativeExecutionLeaseHeldCondition`
and `lockNativeExecutionLeaseForReacquire`. A lease is held when it is
live. For a local run, it is also held when it lapsed and is untouched.
"Untouched" means all of these are true:
  - the claimed generation matches;
  - the phase is `observed` and no result is accepted;
- `recovery_state`, `recovery_request_id`, `failure_code` and
`next_attempt_at` are null;
  - `controller_host_hash` is not the board's attested-stopped stamp;
- the run is still `running`, without the ownership-unverified error
code and without a `nativeStartupCleanup` marker.
- The caller's WHERE already matches the owner token, attempt and
controller boot/pid/start.
- The lock helper locks the coordinator row. If the lease lapsed, it
also takes a share lock on the run row. The predicate then reads the
latest committed run, and an in-flight run write cannot slip past it.
- Renewal (`startNativeSessionExecutionLeaseRenewal` /
`renewNativeSessionExecutionLease`) takes back a lapsed lease when the
executor passes its claimed generation. Remote targets never do. A
deadlock (40P01) on that rare path retries at the next tick, as a
statement timeout already does.
- `native-session-executor.ts`: the executor passes its generation to
renewal. Failure settlement and the final release use the same lock and
condition. After a result is accepted, a lapsed lease can only be
relinquished (set to null), never renewed, because workspace
finalization may act on it.
- New `native-execution-lease-reacquire.test.ts` (embedded Postgres, 24
cases).
- `doc/plans/2026-11-09-explicit-native-lease-claim-tokens.md`: step 2,
which adds explicit claim tokens for the consumers this PR does not yet
move.

Consumer inventory (readers of
`native_run_finalizations.lease_expires_at` that can act on a lapsed
lease):
- Restart recovery and takeover (`claimNativeRestartRecoveries`): claims
first. It writes `recovery_state`, `lease_owner` or `controller_*` under
the coordinator lock.
- Finalizer and cleanup claims: claim first (`lease_owner`).
- Failed-run owner release, environment settlement, observed-workspace
preservation, retained-session cleanup: require a terminal run status,
`committed`, or a recovery state. The rule refuses all of these.
- Finalization reconciler, live recovery: require `retryable_failure`, a
field the rule checks.
- Board controller-stopped confirmation: writes `controller_host_hash`,
which the rule checks.
- Startup cleanup promotion: writes the run's `nativeStartupCleanup`
marker, which the rule checks. It also applies only to runner-task
leases.
- Another server's orphan sweep: writes the run's ownership-unverified
code. The rule checks it when the marker lands first. The reverse order
is deferred (see Risks).
- Workspace finalization copyback: acts on a lapsed post-result lease
without a coordinator write. Post-result leases are therefore never
renewed (deferred to step 2).
- Accepted-result and token lease settlement, checkpoints, cancellation
delivery, admission and the other readers: act on live leases only, or
are read-only.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-execution-lease-reacquire.test.ts`
passes (24/24) on this branch. With the source files from
`origin/master`, 5 fail, including "lets the same owner take back a
lease that lapsed untouched" and "renews from the shared timer after the
sleep instead of interrupting the turn".
- (a) The owner takes back its lapsed lease when no other actor claimed
it. Also covered: the shared 5-minute timer, rows saved by the previous
release, and the post-result relinquish.
- (b) 14 cases where a consumer claimed first fence the owner out and
leave the row unchanged. A release over a recorded recovery claim is
refused. A different boot (a deploy mid-run), a different generation, a
missing generation and a remote target are refused.
- (c) Races have exactly one winner: a claimant and the owner lock the
coordinator in each order, an in-flight run status write races the
owner, and 8 simultaneous starts each have one winner.
- Existing suites pass: `native-execution-lease.test.ts`,
`native-session-executor.test.ts`, `native-runner-restart-recovery`,
`native-runner-restart-lease-renewal`,
`native-runner-restart-preparation` and
`native-runner-restart-checkpoint-cost` integration tests.
- Live proof: `B5 × TM2 --time-age-hours 1 --tasks 2 --seed 304` with
`--server-from` this branch. Wave `w-20261110T083444-s304` passed 2/2,
with no Retry and no `native_session_lease_lost`.
- Both runs ran past the 300 s renewal after the one-hour aging, at the
exact point where `origin/master` fails. t01 ran 310 s and t02 ran 319
s. Each was a single run that succeeded.
- The harness used the aging exclusion from #20500 (merged): process
start identity is not aged. Without that exclusion, TM2 also moves
`controller_process_started_at`. The live owner then fails its identity
check, which a real sleep never causes. An earlier wave on the unpatched
harness, `w-20261110T072106-s304`, failed 0/2 for that reason only.

## Risks

- Previous release: no persisted shape changes and no migration. Rows
saved by the previous release have the same columns, and a null
`controller_host_hash` is accepted. A deploy that lands mid-run cannot
take back the old server's lease, because the boot and pid differ.
- On the normal path, a live lease takes the same single coordinator
lock as before. The run share lock is taken only after a lapse, and
nothing is added before `turn.start`.
- Deferred to step 2 (see the plan):
- The orphan sweep of another server process can read the row before the
owner takes the lease back and write after. That run would carry an
ownership-unverified error while it is live.
- Shared-workspace holder detection reads a silent run with lapsed
leases as gone.
  - Post-result leases are not renewed.
  - Remote leases are unchanged.

DottaandClaude a14ae9b5c9 fix(workspaces): name a failed workspace setup command on the task page (#20478)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Before an agent starts, Paperclip prepares the task workspace and
runs the project's configured setup commands (for example the workspace
provision command)
> - When that command fails, the run fails as `setup_failed`, and the
task stops with a Retry
> - The task page shows only "Failed" and a generic recovery notice. The
real error (the command, its exit status and output) is visible only on
the run page
> - The user cannot see from the task which setting is broken or what to
change
> - This pull request records a bounded, named cause for a failed setup
command and shows it on the task page
> - The benefit is that the task names the broken setting and what to
change, and classification, retry and recovery stay the same

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
The restart-chaos config fault wave CF1 sets a project
`workspaceStrategy.provisionCommand` to `bash
./scripts/provision-worktree.sh`, a script that does not exist. The run
fails as `setup_failed` with `Execution workspace provision command
"bash ./scripts/provision-worktree.sh" failed: bash:
./scripts/provision-worktree.sh: No such file or directory`. The task
page shows "Failed" and "Paperclip automatically retried continuation …
still has no live execution path". The grader fails the task as
`CF1/provision_command:message_only_in_run_detail`.

**Expected behavior**
The task page names the failed setup step, the configured command, its
exit status and a short tail of its output, and says what to change.
Retry behavior stays the same.

**Steps to reproduce**
`node cli/node_modules/tsx/dist/cli.mjs
tests/restart-chaos/config-wave.ts --faults CF1 --adapters codex --tasks
2 --concurrency 2 --restarts K1,K2 --seed 204` on `master`.

**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at 5ab98b0 (wave `w-20261110T043929-s204-cf`, tasks t01 and
t03).

## What Changed

- `WorkspaceCommandExitError` now carries the setup step
(`workspace_provision`, `workspace_seed`,
`workspace_runtime_provision`), the configured command and the command
output.
- New `server/src/services/workspace-setup-command-failure.ts`: it
builds a bounded, redacted `setupCommandFailure` record (step, command
up to 200 characters, exit code, last 300 characters of output). It also
recognizes the older message format, so runs recorded before this change
still get a name.
- `run-completion.ts` adds `setupCommandFailure` to the setup failure
`resultJson`. The error code (`setup_failed`) and all retry and recovery
fields stay the same.
- `TaskInterruptionPresentation.setupFailure` (shared type) is set for
`setup_failed` runs. It goes through the same per-run secret redaction
and user-name redaction as `workspaceFailure`.
- `ExecutionBlockerNotice` shows "Couldn’t set up the task workspace.
<command> failed with exit code N: <output>. Fix the command in the
project’s workspace settings, then retry." A scheduled transient retry
keeps its countdown and only adds the name.
- The restart-chaos config wave reads `interruption.setupFailure` as a
task-level text for its actionable-message check.

## Verification

- Red before, green after (the tests fail with the source changes
reverted):
- `server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts` — "names a failed
project provision command with its exit status and output (CF1)" runs a
real git worktree with a missing provision script (exit 127).
- `server/src/services/task-interruption-presentation.test.ts` — "setup
command failure presentation (CF1)": names the command, keeps
`state`/`canRetry`/`userAction` identical, recognizes the older message,
keeps a scheduled retry, bounds output and strips credentials from the
command.
- `ui/src/components/ExecutionBlockerNotice.test.tsx` and
`tests/restart-chaos/config-faults.test.ts` cover the notice text and
the harness check.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck`, `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/server typecheck`, `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui
typecheck` pass.
- Live proof: config wave `w-20261110T083227-s204-cf` (CF1, codex, 2
tasks, K1 and K2, seed 204) on commit ae9a4b7: **2/2 pass**. Both tasks
show `The project's workspace provision command "bash
./scripts/provision-worktree.sh" failed with exit code 127: bash:
./scripts/provision-worktree.sh: No such file or directory` on the task,
rest again after the restart, and finish after the repair and Retry. On
`master` the same wave failed both tasks as `message_only_in_run_detail`
(`w-20261110T043929-s204-cf`).

## Risks

- Low risk. The change adds a presentation field. It does not change the
error code, retry, recovery or blocking behavior.
- The command and output are user-configured text. They are bounded,
passed through `redactSensitiveText`, the run's secret registry and
user-name redaction. If redaction fails, the field is omitted, like
`workspaceFailure`.

DottaandClaude 52b906b112 fix(native): let Retry continue after a run that failed before native selection (#20482)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Before Paperclip starts a new message or a Retry after a failed
native run, it proves that the run's local process stopped
> - A native run can fail before native selection, for example when a
budget reservation is refused or a preparation query fails. That run
never had a runner, a native session or a process ID
> - The stop gate still waited for a stop record of that process. Retry
returned 202, then the task stayed on
`retryWait.reason=process_identity_missing` and no run started
> - Native selection writes the run's native issue, native session,
runner instance and coordinator in one transaction. A runner launch
needs all of them, and the executor records
`native.process_start_requested` before any spawn
> - This pull request treats a settled run with none of that evidence as
having nothing to stop
> - The benefit is that Retry and new messages continue after a failure
that happened before the agent started

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
In local restart-chaos database-load wave `w-20261110T050818-s20386`,
all 4 tasks failed before any agent process started. One example is t01,
run `f7e2ee55`. A preparation query failed, and the run ended
`adapter_failed` with no native session, no runner instance, no process
ID and no launch event. Retry returned 202. For 16 or more minutes,
`retryWait` then stayed on `process_identity_missing` and no run
started.

**Expected behavior**
If the previous run never had a process, there is nothing to verify, so
Retry and new input continue.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Make a native run fail before native selection (for example, a
refused budget reservation or a failed query).
2. Click Retry, or send a message. Before this change, the input waits
on `process_identity_missing` and does not continue.

## What Changed

- `native-local-process-stop.ts`: `nativeRunRefusedBeforeLaunch`
(renamed `nativeRunNeverLaunched`) now also proves "never launched" for
a settled native run in this state:
  - no process ID and no process group;
- no native issue, no native session and no runner instance (native
selection writes them together). A coordinator row requires the native
issue by foreign key, so the native-issue check also rules out a
coordinator;
- no launch request, no identity record, no `adapter.invoke` and no
runner-authored event (any event with a source event ID).
The existing case, a run that the cleanup quarantine refused before
launch, does not change.
- `explicit-native-continuation.test.ts`: the guard "failed for another
reason without a process record" now separates real pre-selection
failures from the shapes that must stay held.
- Admitted: a run that failed before it requested a launch. This case is
red on `master`.
- Still held on `process_identity_missing`: a run that has a runner
event, a run with a prepared native session, and a run with a
coordinator, for `failed`, `timed_out` and `interrupted` runs. A
`timed_out` run that failed before launch is admitted. The chat suite's
`unreconciled` case (a native issue and phase, no session) also stays
held.

## Verification

- Red/green: on `master`, `routes input after a run failed before it
requested a launch` fails with `process_identity_missing`. It passes
with this change.
- `vitest run src/services/explicit-native-continuation.test.ts
src/services/quarantined-task-retry.test.ts
src/__tests__/issue-confirm-run-stopped-routes.test.ts`: 3 files, 462
tests pass. This includes every existing "keeps the hold for
missing_process" and historical-run case.
- Server `tsc --noEmit` passes.

## Risks

- Low risk. The new proof needs structural evidence that no runner could
exist: no native selection and no launch or runner event. A run that
reached native selection, or that has any launch evidence, keeps every
existing stop proof.
- The proof does not depend on the build: a runner from any build needs
the native session and the runner instance. Saved runs from older builds
that were selected keep those fields, so they stay held exactly as
before.
- Relates to #20477, which fixes the restart window inside an answer

DottaandClaude 1e13c58a4e fix(heartbeat): name the cause of generic adapter failures and keep SQL text off the board (#20483)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Heartbeat run settlement records why a run failed, and the board
shows that record.
> - Runs that fail without a named code settle as `adapter_failed` (or
`setup_failed`) with no cause.
> - A user, an operator, and the restart chaos harness cannot tell what
went wrong from such a run.
> - Some run errors also show raw SQL statement text to users.
> - This pull request records a bounded `failureCause` code for generic
failures, shows it on the board, and keeps SQL text out of run errors.
> - The benefit is that a generic failure now names its cause, for
example "adapter failed (40001)", without leaking messages, SQL, or
secrets.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20385 (the nested-cause extraction this change reuses). Related:
#20421 (restart chaos universal checks U1-U4).

**What happened?**

The restart chaos audit of 79 saved waves found 30 failed runs with
`errorCode: "adapter_failed"` and a null or generic error. Every U3
("diagnosable") warning was `adapter_failed`. Nobody could tell what
failed. Some board run errors also showed raw SQL statement text from
wrapped database errors (Drizzle `Failed query: ... params: ...`).

**Expected behavior**

A run that fails with a generic code names a short, safe cause. The
board shows the cause next to the stop reason. Run error text never
shows SQL statements or their parameters.

**Steps to reproduce**

Make an adapter throw a wrapped database error (an `Error` whose nested
`cause` has `code: "40001"` and whose message has a Drizzle `Failed
query:` statement). Before this change, the run settles as
`adapter_failed` with no cause, and `heartbeat_runs.error` contains the
SQL statement and parameters. The new tests in
`server/src/services/heartbeat/run-completion.test.ts` reproduce this.

## What Changed

- Runner: move the #20385 event-commit cause extraction into
`safeErrorCauseCode`
(`packages/paperclip-runner/src/control-plane/safe-error-cause.ts`) and
export it. The Runner's own diagnostics use the same function, unchanged
in behavior.
- Shared: add the `failureCause` contract
(`packages/shared/src/run-failure-cause.ts`): one `[A-Za-z0-9_.:-]`
token of at most 80 characters, `normalizeRunFailureCause`,
`readRunFailureCause`, and `withoutSqlStatementText`.
- Server: add `server/src/services/heartbeat/run-failure-cause.ts`.
Settlement records `resultJson.failureCause` only when the code is
generic (`adapter_failed`, `setup_failed`). `errorCode` stays the same.
- Thrown errors (`failRun`, `failRunSetup`): `provider_http_<status>`,
else `provider_<category>`, else the first safe code in the error and up
to three nested causes (`40001`, `ECONNRESET`), else the error class
name, else `unknown_error`.
- Adapter results without a code (`completeRun`): the error family,
`signal_<name>`, `process_cancellation_failed`, `exit_code_<n>`,
`adapter_reported_error`, or `unknown_error`.
- The failure log lines (`heartbeat execution failed`, `heartbeat
execution setup failed`, and a new `heartbeat run failed` warning for
generic adapter results) include `failureCause` and `errorCode`.
- Server: replace SQL statement text in run error text with "Database
query failed (<cause>)" at all three settlement paths, including the
cancelled branch. The execution blocker's `runError`, the attention
inbox (failed-run excerpt and metadata), and continuation summaries
apply the same replacement on read, so older rows also stop showing SQL
there.
- Server: Retry admission and failed-preparation replay accept only a
closed set of `resultJson` keys. `failureCause` is added to each of
those lists (`task-retry.ts`, `chat-channels/failed-run-retry.ts`,
`cancelled-native-startup.ts`, `fresh-workspace-continuation.ts`). It is
a diagnostic code with no execution or replay authority, so a
failed-preparation run stays retryable.
- Server: `runsForIssue` returns a validated top-level `failureCause`.
It is null for older rows, non-string JSON values, and malformed values.
- UI: `RunForIssue.failureCause`; `IssueRunLedger` shows "adapter failed
(40001)". Older runs keep "adapter failed". The Storybook run-ledger
fixture has a failed run with a cause.
- Restart chaos harness: run samples keep `failureCause`. U3 treats a
generic code with a specific `failureCause` as diagnosable. A bare
`Error`, `unknown_error`, or the no-code fallback
`adapter_reported_error` still counts as vague. U3 stays a warning.
- Docs: `doc/run-log-events.md` and the harness README describe the
field and the SQL replacement.

## Verification

- Red before the fix: the four new `run-completion.test.ts` cases failed
against `origin/master`'s `run-completion.ts` (no `failureCause`, SQL
text in `error`).
- Green:
- `server/src/services/heartbeat/run-completion.test.ts`: all tests
passed (real embedded PostgreSQL). New cases cover a nested `40001`
three levels deep for execution and setup failures, SQL and a secret
parameter absent from `error` and `resultJson`, the bound (an
81-character code and a SQL "code" fall back to the class name),
`exit_code_137` for a code-less adapter result, a cancelled result with
SQL text, no cause for a named code, and the log line. On this loaded
host the suite's `afterAll` database teardown hit its 30 s hook limit
after every test passed (the known local teardown limit, also seen in
#20385). CI runs the suite.
- `server/src/services/heartbeat/run-failure-cause.test.ts` (4),
`server/src/__tests__/activity-service.test.ts` (recorded, legacy,
malformed, overlong, boolean, and number cause projections),
`server/src/__tests__/issue-continuation-summary.test.ts` (legacy SQL
row).
- `packages/shared/src/run-failure-cause.test.ts` (6),
`ui/src/components/IssueRunLedger.test.tsx` (21), restart chaos
`universal.test.ts` and `observer.test.ts`.
-
`packages/paperclip-runner/src/control-plane/durable-prp-control-plane.test.ts`:
207 passed (the stall-diagnostic cases still read `40001` and
`ECONNRESET`).
- Typecheck: shared, runner, server (all layers), UI, restart chaos
harness. `pnpm check:token-gates`: all gates clean.
- `pnpm verify` returned exit 2 (global doc input changed); required CI
supplies broad coverage.
- CI on `6295f8d` found that the new key made failed-preparation runs
ineligible for Retry (`chat-channels.integration.test.ts` saved
board-message Retry got 409;
`workspace-recovery-preparation-dispatch.test.ts` dispatched 0 Retries).
Both reproduced locally and pass after the allowlist fix, with the other
459 Retry cases in `chat-channels.integration.test.ts` and all 25 in
`workspace-recovery-preparation-dispatch.test.ts`.
- No chaos waves were run. Storybook was not opened in a browser; the
fixture typechecks and the label is covered by the UI test.

## Risks

- Low risk. `errorCode` values do not change, so retry, recovery, and
comparison logic is unaffected.
- No schema change and no migration. `failureCause` is a new optional
`resultJson` key. Rows saved by the previous release have no key and
render as before; a new row read by an old server is ignored.
- The SQL replacement only acts on a Drizzle `Failed query:` marker, or
on `$n` placeholder text with a statement shape. Ordinary error text
does not change. When it acts, it also drops the text after the
statement.
- Code that checks `resultJson` against a closed key list must allow
`failureCause`. I found and updated the four lists on the Retry path; a
list I missed would refuse a Retry for a run with a generic failure.
- This is the run log / instance database path. It adds no Telemetry
event.
- The server failure log line still logs the raw error message
(unchanged behavior); only the board-facing text is changed.

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

DottaandClaude 233f615644 fix(heartbeat): resume legacy runs a graceful shutdown stopped before dispatch (#20461)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The heartbeat service runs agent turns and recovers them after a
server restart
> - A graceful restart can stop a legacy run (for example a `process`
adapter agent) while the run is still in setup, before the adapter
starts
> - That run was parked with `legacy_execution_requires_reconciliation`,
so automatic recovery stopped
> - A `process` or `http` adapter cannot continue that hold through
Retry, so the accepted Retry waited forever and the task stayed blocked
> - This pull request proves "no adapter work started" for that case and
resumes the run automatically
> - The benefit is that a restart during setup no longer strands the
task, and Retry starts a run for holds that an older server saved

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
The restart-chaos harness ran workload Q3 (a board approves an agent's
app action late) with a `process` adapter agent. A graceful restart
(fault K2) fired right after the approval. The agent's follow-up run was
interrupted with `server_shutdown_interrupted` 0.2 s after it started,
while it was still in setup. Automatic recovery stopped with
`legacy_execution_requires_reconciliation`. The board clicked Retry. The
server accepted the Retry (HTTP 202), but no run started. The task
showed "Retry is waiting for execution checks" (`retryWait.reason =
execution_recovery`) forever.

**Expected behavior**
A run that a graceful shutdown stops before any adapter work must resume
automatically. An accepted Retry must start a run.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a `process` adapter agent on a task.
2. Send SIGTERM to the server while the run is still in setup (before
the adapter starts).
3. Restart the server. The task is blocked with
`legacy_execution_requires_reconciliation`.
4. Click Retry. The request is accepted, but no run starts.

**Paperclip version or commit**
master at 2c2186706e

**Additional context**
The graceful-shutdown drain marks a legacy run `interrupted` without any
bootstrap evidence. The legacy classifier then treats the run as
"outcome unknown" and creates a no-replay hold. Only conversation
adapters can continue that hold through Retry
(`admitExplicitNativeContinuation` returns null for `process`/`http`
adapters), so the Retry intent stays deferred with no owner. The
hard-restart reaper already uses the durable stage proof
(`executionStage = 'preparing'`, no process identity) to retry such
runs. The graceful path did not.

## What Changed

- New `server/src/services/legacy-shutdown-before-dispatch.ts`: one SQL
proof that a legacy run interrupted by graceful shutdown never reached
the adapter. The proof requires: `executionStage = 'preparing'` with a
controller boot ID, no `budgetDispatch.handedOffAt` handoff receipt, no
process identity, no execution-start event, and no native or
workspace-recovery obligation.
- `terminalizeLegacyExecution` applies that proof in the same
transaction that commits the shutdown interruption, under the run lock.
A matching run gets `executionRecovery: { kind: "bootstrap",
providerWorkStarted: false }`. The existing process-loss retry then
schedules it in the interrupted-preparation lane (no delay, no failure
budget spent), and no hold is created.
- `executionBlockerPredicate` ignores a
`legacy_execution_requires_reconciliation` hold whose source run carries
the same proof. This releases holds that an older server saved for the
same case, so Retry starts a run (upgrade-safe for old rows).
- Tests in `server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts`.

## Verification

- Red before, green after:
- `resumes a legacy run that a graceful shutdown stopped before adapter
dispatch (stage=preparing)`
- `lets Retry start a run for a pre-dispatch shutdown hold saved by an
older server`
- Control (passes before and after): `... (stage=dispatching)` keeps the
reconciliation hold and schedules no retry.
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts
src/services/heartbeat/recovery.test.ts
src/__tests__/heartbeat-retry-scheduling.test.ts
src/__tests__/interrupted-preparation-hold-settle.test.ts
src/__tests__/interrupted-preparation-restore-retry.test.ts` (609
passed).
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server` passes.
- Live proof: restart-chaos `--env local --adapters codex --workloads Q3
--faults K2 --matrix --concurrency 2 --seed 109`. Results are added in a
comment.

## Risks

- The proof is narrow. A run that reached `dispatching`, recorded a
handoff, a process identity or any execution event keeps its
reconciliation hold. Rows from a controller without a lease (no boot ID)
keep their hold.
- The stage proof relies on the `dispatching` stage write that the lease
renewal makes before adapter admission. That write and the `preparing`
claim were added in the same change, so old rows with `preparing` are
reliable.
- Not changed: a `process` or `http` run that really started and has
unknown outcomes still keeps its hold. Retry for that hold is still
accepted but cannot continue it. That is a separate product decision.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 693de27c90 fix(storage): wait out expired or rotated S3 credentials and re-resolve the key (#20456)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - In cloud mode, run logs, provider traces, attachments and remote
workspace snapshots go to S3
> - The server uses the default AWS credential chain, and real keys
expire or rotate while runs are in flight
> - #20299 made runs wait out a storage outage, but a 403
`ExpiredToken`, `InvalidAccessKeyId` or `SignatureDoesNotMatch` was a
permanent `adapter_failed`
> - The SDK also caches a key until its stated expiration (forever for a
key with none), so a rotated key was never picked up
> - This pull request treats credential rejections as a storage wait and
re-resolves the key from the credential chain after a rejection
> - The benefit is that runs survive key expiry and rotation without
failed attempts or a manual Retry

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20299 (storage outage wait). Harness that found this: #20455.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Runs wait out S3 outages (5xx, timeouts, resets) but fail at once when
the store rejects the server's credentials.

**Subsystem affected**
server storage (S3 provider) and heartbeat run completion.

**Current behavior**
Restart-chaos wave w-20261110T041556-s501 (`--storage s3
--storage-faults ST5`): one 41 s window of 403 `ExpiredToken` failed 4
of 6 tasks. Each run ended `adapter_failed` with "The provided token has
expired.", and the automatic retries failed within one second, so the
tasks needed a board Retry (R3 `retry_did_not_complete`).

**Proposed behavior**
A credential rejection is a transient infrastructure condition.
Critical-path storage calls wait it out like an outage, and a run that
stops on it gets the `storage_unavailable` wait retry. After each
rejection the S3 client re-resolves its key with `forceRefresh`, so the
next attempt signs with a rotated key. The run error names the
credentials. If they never come back, the exhausted-wait message tells
the operator to check the storage service and its credentials.

**Reason and benefit**
Expiring or rotated keys are normal in cloud deployments. They must not
fail work.

## What Changed

- `storage-unavailable.ts`: `ExpiredToken`, `ExpiredTokenException`,
`TokenRefreshRequired`, `InvalidToken`, `InvalidAccessKeyId`,
`InvalidClientTokenId` and `SignatureDoesNotMatch` answered by the store
with 400/403 count as storage unavailable. `AccessDenied` and a
credential chain that cannot load any key (`CredentialsProviderError`)
stay permanent. New credential-specific run message; the exhausted
message also names credentials.
- `s3-credential-refresh.ts` (new): S3 client middleware that calls the
client's credential provider with `forceRefresh` after a rejection, once
per credential generation (requests that signed with an already-replaced
key do not refresh again), then rethrows so the existing storage wait
owns the retry.
- `s3-provider.ts`: installs the middleware on both S3 clients.
- `run-completion.ts`: uses the credential-aware message.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/storage-s3-credential-rotation.test.ts src/storage/
src/__tests__/storage-outage-wait.test.ts
src/__tests__/storage-s3-transient-retry.test.ts
src/__tests__/storage-s3-failure-diagnostics.test.ts
src/services/heartbeat/run-completion.test.ts` (186 pass).
- The new `storage-s3-credential-rotation.test.ts` fails 5 of 6 cases on
master (red) and passes with this change (green). It covers a real key
rotation through the default credential chain, 403 windows for each
code, the message, and `AccessDenied` staying permanent.
- `cd server && npx tsc --noEmit` passes.
- `s3-credential-refresh.test.ts`: two parallel requests signed with the
old key, rejected 50 ms and 400 ms apart, cause one forced lookup (3
before the generation check, 2 after).
- Restart-chaos rerun on a build with this fix and #20455:
w-20261110T050044-s503 (`--env local --workloads A1,C1 --faults K1,K2
--tasks 8 --storage s3 --storage-faults ST5,ST5R --storage-fault-seconds
30-90`) passed 8/8 tasks (R1–R6 and T) with a 39 s `ExpiredToken` window
and an 85 s real key rotation (76 credential 403s). Before the fix,
w-20261110T041556-s501 failed 4/6 tasks.

## Risks

- Scope: calls with a Readable body (streamed `putObject`, buffered
multipart) cannot be resent, so they still fail on the first rejection,
as they do for outages. The middleware has already re-resolved the key,
so the caller's next attempt (the run-level wait retry for run work)
uses the new key.

- A key that the store rejects for good (for example a wrong secret) now
waits up to the storage wait budget (5 min in the call, then up to 10
run retries) before the board shows the exhausted message, instead of
failing at once.
- `forceRefresh` re-runs the credential chain after a rejection. Calls
are coalesced, so a burst of rejections causes one refresh.

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 120017e39d fix(workspaces): read saved workspace files in place instead of extracting the whole archive (#20442)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - When a cloud task finishes, its workspace is saved as an encrypted
snapshot and its sandbox is released. The board's Files view then reads
that saved copy
> - Saved Files access downloaded, decrypted and extracted the whole
archive for every request, and refused archives over 512 MiB with
`too_large`
> - A finished task in a Paperclip-sized repository saves a snapshot of
about 730 MiB, so its files could not be listed or opened at all
> - The archive format already records each file's size and SHA-256, and
the snapshot records the manifest digest, so single files can be read
and verified without the rest of the archive
> - This pull request reads the saved archive in place, one verified
file at a time
> - The benefit is that users can open any file of a large finished
workspace quickly, with bounded memory and no whole-archive transfer

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
In restart-chaos waves on Daytona with a real Paperclip clone, the
committed workspace snapshots were 763,944,535 bytes. After the sandbox
was released, every saved Files read returned 422 `too_large` (506 reads
in total), because `createSavedWorkspaceLoader` refuses archives over
`maxArchiveBytes` (512 MiB). The board Files view uses the same loader,
so it fails the same way.

**Expected behavior**
A user can list and open any single file of a saved workspace of
Paperclip-repository size without the server extracting or buffering the
whole archive. Memory and time stay bounded per request, and integrity
is still verified.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a cloud task whose workspace is a large repository, so the final
snapshot exceeds 512 MiB.
2. Let the task finish and its sandbox be released.
3. Open the task's Files view, or call `GET
/api/issues/:id/file-resources/content?workspace=execution&path=…`: it
returns 422 `too_large`.

**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at f73ff4ace9.

## What Changed

- `openWorkspaceSnapshotRanges`
(`remote-workspace-snapshot-storage.ts`):
  - range-reads the snapshot object's header;
- decrypts any plaintext byte range with AES-256-CTR, starting from the
AES-GCM counter block for that range;
- checks that the object size matches the wrapped key's plaintext size.
- New `saved-workspace-archive.ts`:
  - range-reads and decrypts the archive header and manifest;
- verifies the manifest's SHA-256 against the snapshot's recorded
`manifestDigest`;
- applies the restore path's manifest checks (safe paths, parent
directories, file sizes and hashes, total size) and computes each file's
offset;
  - keeps parsed manifests of recent snapshots within a 128 MiB budget.
- `remote-workspace-files.ts`: with the new `openSavedWorkspaceArchive`
option, saved stat, list, read and download use the verified manifest,
not the extracted-directory helper.
- Path normalization, denied paths, symlink and missing-path errors,
traversal, paging, truncation and text detection mirror the helper
exactly.
- A read or download decrypts only that file into a private temporary
file and verifies its SHA-256 before serving it.
- The changed-files view needs repository status, so it still uses the
bounded extraction. A saved copy beyond its limits now reports
`changed_unavailable`, a specific code, while its other views stay
available.
- `app.ts` and the support inspection route pass the new opener.
- `doc/SPEC-implementation.md` describes in-place saved reads and the
remaining changed-files limits.

## Verification

- Red before the fix, green after: `reads a saved workspace above the
extraction cap in place, one verified file at a time`. With extraction
only (master's Files service), the capped snapshot returns 422
`too_large`. With the archive reader, preview, list and a 256 KiB
download succeed through the ordinary routes. Every storage read is a
byte-range read, and no extraction directory is created.
- Parity: `answers saved stat and list exactly like the extracted
helper` compares archive-backed results with the extracted-helper path
on the same snapshot.
- Stat covers files, directories, nested and binary files, missing
paths, paths through a file, symlinks, denied names, and invalid paths.
- List covers all mode, a subdirectory, paging, queries, a scan limit, a
non-directory, and a denied directory.
- In recent mode, the entries match. Order is by path, because a saved
copy has no modification times; the extracted copy's mtimes were just
its extraction times.
- Integrity: `refuses a saved file whose stored bytes no longer match
its verified manifest`. Tampered stored bytes return 422 `file_changed`,
and no bytes are served.
- `keeps changed files on bounded extraction and names its limit…`: over
the cap, the changed view returns `changed_unavailable` and the other
views still work.
- The existing location-clearing preview test now checks for range reads
and an empty request temp directory, not for an extraction directory.
- Measured locally, with local-disk storage and a 749,006,840-byte
snapshot (88 × 8 MiB pack file, a 10 MiB file, 2,000 small files):

| path | time |
| --- | --- |
| Old: download, decrypt and extract all, once per request | 2,338 ms,
plus a full 749 MB transfer from S3 |
| New, cold: open (header and manifest range reads) | 7 ms; open and
read a small file: 13 ms |
| New, warm (cached manifest) | open 2 ms; open and read: 6 ms |
| New: list 100 entries and download a 10 MiB file | 23 ms |

- `remote-workspace-file-resources`, `remote-workspaces.integration`,
`remote-workspace-save-concurrency`, and
`remote-workspace-snapshot-retention` pass (212 tests).
- `PAPERCLIP_TYPECHECK_LOW_MEMORY=1 pnpm typecheck` in `server` passed.
- Not yet verified: the Daytona R1 wave's file checks after release. The
chaos harness owner will run them on a build with this change.

## Risks

- Range decryption bypasses GCM's whole-object tag. Integrity instead
comes from the manifest's SHA-256 matching the digest recorded in the
database, and from each file's SHA-256 in that manifest. A file is
verified before it is served. Text detection on stat samples the first 4
KiB without verifying the whole file. It only sets a display hint, and
content is always verified before it is shown.
- Saved files carry no modification times, so the recent view of a saved
copy is ordered by path, where it was previously in effectively random
extraction order.
- The changed-files view of a saved copy over 512 MiB still reports
`changed_unavailable`, because it needs a full extraction to run `git
status`.
- No schema or API change.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 d064bd21e4 perf(plugins): pick each lifecycle resource's head in one pass (#20406)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Plugins receive resource lifecycle events (agent, project and
agent-runtime changes) through a durable inbox
> - The inbox lists an event only when it is the first unacknowledged
event of its resource, so each resource delivers in order
> - The list query checked that rule with a `NOT EXISTS` for every
unacknowledged event. Each check walked the resource's whole
acknowledged history
> - A resource with a long acknowledged history and a backlog behind a
deferred head costs history × backlog probes. On the hosted staging
instance three copies of this statement ran for more than 23 minutes
each, on a database that was at 6–8 of 8 vCPU all day
> - This pull request picks the deliverable head of each resource in one
pass
> - The benefit is a list call that is linear in the company's events,
and database CPU that other requests can use

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
`pluginLifecycleInbox(...).list()` in
`server/src/services/plugin-lifecycle-inbox.ts`. The delivery worker
calls it in a loop and when it checks for idle work.

**Subsystem affected**
Plugin lifecycle delivery (server service, PostgreSQL query).

**Current behavior**
Neon "Active queries" for the staging database on 2026-11-09 showed
three copies of this statement at 1,381–1,401 s each. In the same view,
trivial primary-key reads waited 100–280 ms. Locally, one resource with
2,000 acknowledged events and a 2,000-event backlog takes 3.5 s for one
`list()` call. The cost grows with acknowledged history × backlog.

**Proposed behavior**
Only the head of a resource is deliverable: its unacknowledged creation
if it has one, otherwise its lowest unacknowledged event. This is
exactly the set that the old `firstForResource` predicate admits. The
query now selects these heads with `DISTINCT ON (resource_type,
resource_id)` ordered by `(action <> 'create'), id`, and then applies
the page cursor, order and limit.

**Reason and benefit**
The same fixture lists in 8–24 ms instead of 3.5 s. Long-running copies
of this statement no longer hold database CPU that every request needs.

**Breaking changes**
None. `acknowledge()` keeps its per-event eligibility check.

## What Changed

- `pluginLifecycleInbox.list()` uses a `lifecycle_heads` CTE with
`DISTINCT ON` to pick one head per resource, then filters by the
`afterId` cursor and orders by id with the limit.
- New test in `server/src/__tests__/resource-lifecycle-events.test.ts`:
one resource with 2,000 acknowledged events and a 2,000-event backlog,
plus a second resource. It asserts the exact heads in id order and a
list time below 1 s (3.5 s before, 8–24 ms after).

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/resource-lifecycle-events.test.ts -t "acknowledged
backlog"` — red on `origin/master` (3,546 ms), green with the change (24
ms, 8 ms).
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/resource-lifecycle-events.test.ts
src/__tests__/plugin-lifecycle-delivery.test.ts
src/__tests__/agent-runtime-assignments.test.ts
src/__tests__/agent-runtime-hooks.test.ts
src/__tests__/project-instance-secrets.test.ts` — the existing ordering,
paging, per-plugin isolation, backfilled-creation and late-commit tests
pass. (One `agent-runtime-hooks` case is timing-sensitive on a loaded
machine and also fails on `origin/master` there. It passed 22/22 on
rerun.)
- `pnpm verify` selection and CI.
- After deploy: Neon "Active queries" no longer shows long-running
`resource_lifecycle_events … NOT EXISTS` statements.

## Risks

- Low risk. The result set is the same: per resource, the unacknowledged
creation, otherwise the lowest unacknowledged id. The cursor still
applies after the head is chosen, as before, so paging past failed heads
does not skip later events.
- Each call still reads the company's events of the requested types
once. A company with millions of acknowledged events still pays one
linear pass per call. A per-plugin acknowledgment watermark would remove
that and is out of scope.

DottaandPaperclip 0934b834c4 perf(workspaces): release retained cohort parent scratch early (#20447)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent work and preserves its workspace files.
> - Online migration captures local files and publishes remote workspace
authority.
> - Each capture verifies encrypted readback, restores the archive and
compares the current source.
> - A cohort kept every completed parent payload until the whole cohort
published.
> - A larger cohort could retain many complete copies while later
members still worked.
> - This pull request releases only finished parent payloads before a
capture worker starts another member.
> - Nested-child proof, final fresh checks and atomic publication keep
their existing owners.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #20418, #20437, #20441.

**What happened?**

A cohort retained each member's capture archive, verified archive,
comparison archive and restored tree until atomic publication. The
capture worker limit did not limit that retained parent data.

**Expected behavior**

Release completed parent payloads once their consumers finish. Keep
files that a later publication check still needs.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the added held-peer regression against the previous owner. It
completes one parent, holds a later member and finds all four completed
parent paths still present.

## What Changed

- Release three named parent archives and the restored tree after a
successful online cohort capture, before that worker takes another
member.
- Keep parent scratch roots and all nested-child verification areas.
Keep every final fresh child and publication check.
- Retain payloads for archived repository intents. Use the existing
writable-tree cleanup for read-only restored directories.
- Add real filesystem regressions for early release, retained child
proof, late child mutation and the final archived-intent path check.
Update the source-fence guide.

This branch incorporates the final #20441 owner and both distinct
saved-relative-path regressions. Its scratch-specific production change
is nine added lines and one removed line. Single imports and saved
journal/archive formats stay unchanged.

## Verification

- Canonical Node24 preflight passed. The Runner build came from the
content cache. After the current-master merge, the preflight checked
1,674 inputs and 1,817 outputs and found unchanged build inputs. Plugin
SDK prerequisites passed.
- Genuine RED on the unchanged #20441 owner: one held-peer case failed
at four retained payload paths; the archived-intent control passed. The
run took21.14s, with221 unrelated cases intentionally unselected. The
first sandbox-restricted setup attempt hit DNS errors and was stopped;
the normal network-qualified preflight then passed.
- Initial treatment: four selected PostgreSQL/filesystem cases passed
in38.61s, with219 intentionally unselected. The held peer observes
released parent payloads and retained child areas. A later child
mutation still refuses the whole cohort and publishes no authority or
activity.
- The archived-intent control observes all parent payloads at the actual
final saved-relative-path check. The changed path refuses publication
and keeps task/repository state intact. This exercises its actual
singleton owner; archived-only sources do not enter the online cohort
API.
- After a normal merge of current master and the final #20441 test, the
five affected cases and server TypeScript passed. No full local matrix
was repeated. Initial CI failed the inherited recovered-upload assertion
because the new retention test leaked its archive and filesystem spies.
That case passed alone but failed in the adjacent three-case sequence
(two pass, one fail); scoped `finally` cleanup made the same sequence
pass three of three in17.15s, with191 unrelated cases intentionally
unselected. No upstream assertion or production code changed. Server
TypeScript passed again. All required
[CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42746586511)
passed on final normal-merge head
`604c0f67bf7282ecd3f6e5e5da1c9d8637ef70cc` (56 success, four skipped and
one neutral; no pending or failing checks). The previously failing
server4/12 passed in10m23s. Fresh Greptile is5/5 on that exact head with
no open threads. The merge resolves the duplicate #20441 squash
insertion; both tested owner and test files are byte-for-byte identical
to repair head `b5c8eed82b6a676985e1a8af785e5df2ae3be2ce`. The prior
head received
[Greptile5/5](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/20447#issuecomment-6757435885);
its archived-cohort coverage warning was [answered using the actual
public admission
boundary](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/20447#discussion_r4520641017).
- `git diff --check` passed. No hosted cleanup, migration, provider
action or deployment was performed.

```sh
node scripts/agent-preflight.mjs --skip-rust-debug
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-sdk ensure-build-deps
node --import ./cli/node_modules/tsx/dist/loader.mjs packages/db/src/test-postgres-command.ts pnpm exec vitest run server/src/services/remote-workspace-cohort-migration.test.ts server/src/services/remote-workspace-migration.test.ts -t 'releases completed parent payload|retains archived intent payload|shares the merged child verifier|rechecks the current archived repository intent path at publication'
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsc --noEmit
```

## Risks

- This reduces retained parent data. It does not establish a total disk
bound. Active capture/encryption/readback files and retained child areas
still need measured capacity.
- Cleanup failure uses the existing worker abort and peer-join path
before publication. Original source files, uploaded objects and journals
remain intact.
- Archived repository intents still need their restored payload at
publication. Those payloads stay retained. No capture limit, budget or
integrity guard changes.
- Saved operations and archive identities carry forward unchanged.
Resume still uses the existing full source and authenticated object
checks.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 (Codex), with tool use and code execution. The runtime does
not expose a more specific model ID or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 9f00f2b83e fix(workspaces): recognize committed imports in linked source scope (#20444)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Online workspace migration fences every local Git source that a
capture can reach.
> - A linked worktree can remain on disk after its workspace is migrated
to cloud storage.
> - The source inspector lists local workspace rows, so it then treats
that linked worktree as unregistered.
> - This pull request uses the existing canonical import journal and
snapshot proof to recognize its exact original physical root.
> - The benefit is that a later linked workspace can migrate without
weakening source ownership or stopping agents.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
After one linked Git workspace commits its canonical migration, its
local files and Git registration can remain. The workspace row now uses
`cloud_sandbox`. A later migration of a related local workspace fails
with `online_workspace_source_scope_unproven` because the original
linked root is no longer in the local-row list.

**Expected behavior**
The inspector can recognize the exact original physical root from the
same-company successful migration journal and its committed or
superseded snapshot. Unknown or changed provenance must still fail.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create two local Git workspaces with a shared worktree registration.
2. Complete canonical migration for one workspace while retaining its
original local files.
3. Inspect or migrate the other workspace. Before this fix, the
inspector returns no source scope.

**Paperclip version or commit**
Reproduced on `f73ff4ace9` with real PostgreSQL, Git, filesystem, and
canonical snapshot storage.

**Deployment mode**
Self-hosted server. This is a core workspace migration bug.

**Relevant logs or output**

`remote_workspace_migration_blocked:online_workspace_source_scope_unproven`

Refs #20418, #20436, #20441. This fix changes source registration only.

## What Changed

- Let the existing imported-source owner match optional exact linked
physical roots in addition to its existing nested-child paths.
- Require each added linked root to have a finished successful
same-company journal, an exact committed or superseded snapshot binding,
and the same manifest digest.
- Include those proven physical roots in the online scope and its source
fingerprint checks.
- Retain Git root, backlink, pointer, ownership, company, foreign
writer, source lock, and publication reinspection guards.
- Keep existing nested-child behavior and all persisted schemas
unchanged. Previous-release canonical imports remain readable. No
runtime authority comes from an arbitrary provider path or remote
authority.

## Verification

- Genuine baseline RED: both committed and superseded imported sibling
cases return a null source scope after a real successful import.
- GREEN: 17 focused real-PostgreSQL/FS/Git tests pass. They cover both
imported states, the original issue source fence, changed
journal/snapshot/manifest/unfinished provenance, a foreign local alias,
unregistered links, backlink/pointer corruption, and a listing change
during upload.
- Command: `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/services/remote-workspace-migration.test.ts -t 'imported
linked Git source|foreign local writer|unproven linked|revalidates the
linked Git listing|nested Git wrapper.*shared|nested Git wrapper
blocked'`.
- Server layered typecheck, module boundaries, and `git diff --check`
pass.
- Actual controlled staging canary: the canonical API committed both
targeted workspace snapshots in 310.249 seconds. The owned job closed
with exit 0 and all owned processes joined. A separate read-only
inventory confirmed that both workspaces left the legacy provider set.
This used a reviewed private administrative artifact; the serving app
image and normal release path stayed unchanged.
- Final head `1759ac6f40a1b35f79587b246de8b36e7a371537`: 56 successful
checks, 4 intentional skips, and 1 neutral status. Greptile and Ponytail
both report 5/5 with no findings or unresolved threads.
- Initial CI had unchanged Runner-support and workspace-recovery
timeouts, plus an unrelated heartbeat plugin-environment timing/fixture
failure. The same owning inputs passed on the sibling PR. Each failed
job then passed one targeted retry on unchanged product bytes. The
original failures remain recorded in the CI history.

## Risks

- This recognizes a retained original root only from the existing
committed import ledger. It does not treat arbitrary cloud workspace
paths as local ownership.
- Each physical root still passes the existing Git identity and
foreign-scope checks. Publication re-inspects the source scope under the
existing source locks.
- This adds no object reads, provider calls, recurring work, capture
algorithm changes, or data exclusion. The existing import query keeps
its current 10,240-row limit and runs during explicit migration
inspection only.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6.1 Codex, with reasoning, repository tools, and code
execution. The host does not expose an exact context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 0991d9bda1 fix(workspaces): protect migration sources and add guarded recovery service (#20443)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents and their task workspaces.
> - Online migration saves files before it publishes remote workspace
authority.
> - A saved migration journal can survive the importing process.
> - Git cache expiration did not count that journal as a consumer.
> - Expiration could remove a source and change its fingerprint while
its import was incomplete.
> - This PR protects unfinished imports and exposes a guarded internal
service transition for an already affected cohort.
> - New imports can preserve the current sources while all old recovery
data stays retained.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Git cache expiration could archive and remove a workspace after an
import process ended but before its saved cohort finished. The saved
source fingerprint then differed from the current archived workspace.
Exact cohort resume correctly refused that changed source. Reopening the
workspace cannot recreate the old metadata or fingerprint.

**Expected behavior**

An unfinished migration remains a durable consumer after process loss.
If an older server already expired some sources, one canonical
transition can fail the exact unpublished cohort without losing its
snapshots, objects, source history, or recovery obligations. New
attempts use the current verified sources.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a cohort import of eight Git worktrees with local changes.
2. Interrupt it after four snapshot uploads.
3. Let an older server expire two idle source worktrees.
4. Resume the saved cohort. It refuses the changed archived sources.

Related: #20429 preserves exact cohort identity when independent
companion imports change only the scope proof. #20424 preserves prepared
recovery state for archived sources. This PR handles completed source
expiration, not a scope-only change. Public searches found related
expiration work and no matching compensation owner.

## What Changed

- Count saved migration markers and unfinished migration journals as Git
expiration consumers. Keep failed migration retention holds as consumers
too.
- Expose `supersedeExpiredRemoteWorkspaceMigrationCohort` as an internal
service API for a privileged operator with a real database handle and
reviewed company/cohort inputs. It is called directly by the
PostgreSQL/Git test and reviewed one-time administrative qualification.
It adds no CLI mode or HTTP route. The existing CLI still refuses a
damaged cohort; this PR does not claim automatic CLI recovery.
- Require an exact unpublished cohort of up to eight members. It
requires completed expiration and an unexpired restore recipe for each
missing member. The other members must retain their saved source
fingerprints.
- Recheck current source and recovery state under source, lifecycle,
finalizer, and row locks. One transaction fails all old journals, writes
audit records, and removes only their exact matched active markers.
- Keep old cohort proofs, operations, snapshots, and object references.
Genuine failure receipts use the existing failed-save retention hold.
This transition does not report migration success.
- Reuse the existing bounded source-lock queue when `sourceLockWaitMs`
is set. Keep fast refusal by default. Cancellation targets only this
waiter, and current checks still run after admission.
- Record predecessor IDs on new attempts and reserve a snapshot
generation above the existing ledger maximum. New success does not
retire the old hold.
- Document the owning transition and retention rules.

## Verification

- The two new journal-consumer cases failed under the old expiration
predicate and passed under the new predicate.
- The full new recovery case passed in 21.12 seconds with real
PostgreSQL locks, Git repositories, encrypted local object storage, and
archive restores. It covers four retained uploads, two real expirations,
unchanged old resume refusal, authority change refusal, transaction
rollback, a held native finalizer, idempotence, eight new imports,
dirty/untracked file restores, and a retention pass 30 days later with
no object deletion.
- Server TypeScript and module-boundary checks passed.
- On `7cec8c915acfad2d08874eaf26abaa852f560219`, the queued-admission
regression failed before forwarding the option (24.07 seconds), then
passed (22.25 seconds). It verifies a real held project lock,
cancellation that preserves the holder and all journals, release into
full compensation, retention, and eight restored fresh imports. Current
server TypeScript and module/diff checks passed. The only production
follow-up changes are the optional queue input and its existing-owner
call.
- The earlier `737a0df3a71b10fe48d7bbfe7ffd8ae296b4852c` CI run had one
Runner support failure: the unchanged credential-free Python/Pi
calibration exceeded its outer 25-second subprocess deadline. That job
passed 6,926 other tests and skipped four. The timeout is retained as a
nonpass. The changed logical head requires fresh CI and review; no test
deadline was raised.
- The affected cohort, Git expiration, and eligibility suites passed all
148 cases in 228.41 seconds on
`aa589f3f447e36d0277c32f8b44cbe5e84a673be`. Merged current master
`a9d0946e64`; the only conflict retained both independent added test
blocks. The complete merged cohort suite passed all 30 cases in 70.00
seconds on `737a0df3a71b10fe48d7bbfe7ffd8ae296b4852c`, including
upstream larger-cohort controls. Final-head server TypeScript,
incremental preflight, module-boundary, and diff checks passed.
Unchanged expiration/eligibility evidence remains valid. Fresh
`809ab704e619812d8f1bf38cf5de9c65893861cc` CI and review are pending.
- On `809ab704e619812d8f1bf38cf5de9c65893861cc`, the complete recovery
fixture passed in 21.38 seconds after adding one valid archived recipe
with no restore point. It refuses with
`migration_supersession_expiration_unverified` and keeps all workspaces,
journals, and snapshots unchanged. The same case then verifies queue
cancellation/release, full compensation, retained history, fresh
imports, and restored bytes. Server TypeScript passed. This follow-up
changes only the test and service-scope documentation; product bytes
remain identical to qualified
`7cec8c915acfad2d08874eaf26abaa852f560219`.
- Earlier fixture attempts did not pass. They exposed the selection of a
held source and an incorrect expected refusal string. The fixture now
selects eligible sources and asserts the canonical authority refusal.
Production guards were not relaxed.
- Live qualification of the exact owning product bytes completed in
230.419 seconds. All eight old operations became failed with auditable
supersession lineage. All eight old snapshot rows remained byte-for-byte
identical, and their object references remain retained. The existing
source-lock queue waited 1.151 seconds for a normal finalizer handoff.
The three complete source/recovery passes took about 218 seconds
including their transaction, which explains why the earlier 180-second
total budget was insufficient for that measured workload. No source
proof or publication guard was skipped. Compensation made no provider or
object-storage calls.
- Earlier live qualifications remain nonpasses: the 180-second attempt
did not finish; its instrumented successor completed source checks and
refused a busy source lock before mutation. The successful bounded-queue
attempt retained those failure records. Fresh archived/online imports
are a separate subsequent step and are not claimed complete here.
- The local checks do not claim browser acceptance, app deployment,
fleet enrollment, or a completed zero-downtime cutover.

## Risks

- This owner mutates migration bookkeeping. It preserves all-or-nothing
row comparisons and current source/recovery locks. A changed journal,
authority, writer, finalizer, expired recipe, or partial transaction
refuses the transition.
- Historical snapshots and objects remain pinned after new success. This
intentionally retains storage. Release requires a separate reviewed
action.
- An older importer cannot use the successor generation contract. Use
the containing canonical owner for recovery. Normal app delivery must
also carry the expiration guard; a private maintenance graph does not
patch a running server's cleanup worker.
- The migration owner crosses 1,000 lines. The bounded compensation
transition remains beside its private source inspection, fingerprint,
fence, reservation, and publication contracts. Moving it now would
require exporting or duplicating those safety owners. No unrelated
refactor or new framework is included.

DottaandPaperclip 29a66d679e fix(workspaces): verify archived repository intents before publication (#20441)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Workspace migration moves local files into durable, authenticated
snapshots.
> - Archived Git workspaces can retain an unmaterialized repository
request after their local tree is removed.
> - Admission cannot prove filesystem absence from the removed tree.
> - This pull request checks strict request candidates against the
private restored Git tree and the authenticated snapshot readback.
> - Publication rechecks current repository rows without changing the
request or task history.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
An archived workspace with an authenticated restoration recipe and an
unresolved, unmaterialized repository request fails migration with
`repository_preparation_unresolved`. Its original directory no longer
exists.

**Expected behavior**
Migration can preserve the request when the actual private restored tree
proves its target absent and every parent safe. It must refuse partial
materialization, symlinks, or changed request state.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Archive a Git workspace with a valid saved recipe and a pending
repository request.
2. Remove its original local workspace directory.
3. Run canonical workspace migration. The previous implementation
refuses before it can inspect the restored tree.

**Paperclip version or commit**
Reproduced on `1ca3e8ea2a759e511ab2d2659339c6c770a7a2ba`.

**Deployment mode**
Self-hosted server. This is a core workspace migration bug.

**Relevant logs or output**
`remote_workspace_migration_blocked:repository_preparation_unresolved`

Refs #20416, #20424, #20436. These fixes retain their source, recovery,
and ownership guards.

## What Changed

- Separate strict repository request metadata from filesystem absence
proof.
- Admit only strict candidates backed by a canonical archived Git recipe
to private materialization.
- Verify target absence and safe parents before a new upload and after
authenticated archive restore.
- Lock and recheck current repository rows before authority publication,
including recovered uploaded archives.
- Preserve previous-release recipes, request rows, task selection,
history, provider references, and unresolved recovery obligations. No
persisted schema or public option changes.

## Verification

- Genuine baseline RED: both pending and needs-repair archived requests
fail on unchanged master.
- GREEN: 27 focused real-PostgreSQL/FS/Git tests pass. Includes
partial/symlink refusal before upload, request mutation during upload,
recovered-upload readback, and existing native F/source checks.
- Command: `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/services/remote-workspace-migration.test.ts -t 'archived
repository intent|unmaterialized repository request|unresolved
repository request|pending repository|unselected archived
recipe|archived prepared source|competing native F owner'`.
- After rebasing onto current master, all six new cases pass on
`0b6854789acc067a44e697acebdc04e51b9afe88`. Server layered typecheck,
module boundaries, and `git diff --check` pass. A review follow-up adds
one pending-path mutation regression (1/1 real-PG pass) without changing
product code. Fresh required CI runs on final head
`2a30a4b444108488ac8b51d0c46c340ee15227b9`; fresh Greptile is 5/5.
Server7 had an unchanged trace-parent assertion failure; that same shard
passed on the previous product-identical head and the linked-source
sibling PR. The original failure remains recorded. The single targeted
server7 retry passed. Final head has 56 successful checks, 4 intentional
skips, and 1 neutral review status.

## Risks

- Metadata admission is only a candidate check. A candidate still fails
unless the private authenticated filesystem proves absence.
- Publication keeps repository rows locked while it checks their current
paths against the owned restored tree. A real pending-relativePath
mutation now tests this final check. Existing workspace/source/native
locks remain in place.
- Absence is proved only in SAVED data reconstructed from the retained
recipe and snapshot. This does not prove that a request never
materialized before archival. Existing Git restore points can exclude
ignored `.paperclip-repositories` paths outside recorded checkouts. This
PR does not change that preexisting coverage or recover bytes that were
never saved.
- The original recipe, restore point and checkout references remain
unchanged. No files are recovered into or removed from the original
directory. No request is marked ready or restored. Partial target files
present in reconstructed saved data remain blocked and retain their
state.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 99a6daf5bc perf(auth): resolve a Cloud tenant actor in one database round trip (#20390)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - On Paperclip Cloud, each request resolves its board actor from
trusted Cloud headers in `actorMiddleware`
> - This runs for every request after the liveness probe, also for
static files such as `favicon.ico` and `index.html`
> - The resolution ran three database statements one after another: the
stale `instance_admin` purge, the membership read and the
owner-elevation read
> - On a loaded database, each statement waits. Three sequential waits
make every request slow, also a request that needs no data
> - This pull request keeps the purge and the tenant sync in order and
runs the two reads at the same time as them
> - The benefit is one database wait per request instead of three

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Cloud tenant actor resolution in `server/src/middleware/auth.ts`
(`resolveCloudTenantActorOnce`).

**Subsystem affected**
Server authentication middleware (Cloud trusted-header path).

**Current behavior**
Measured on the hosted staging instance on 2026-11-09 from a signed-in
browser, 45 paired samples in 40 s:
- `/api/liveness` (mounted before actor resolution): client median 92
ms, p90 255 ms, server time ≤ 1 ms.
- `/favicon.ico` with a session (after actor resolution): client median
413 ms, p90 1,751 ms, max 4.6 s.
- `/api/cli-auth/me`: server median 346 ms, p90 1,528 ms.
The same Node process answers liveness quickly, so the event loop is not
blocked. The database is busy (6–8 of 8 vCPU for the whole day), and
trivial primary-key reads waited 100–280 ms each. Three sequential reads
explain the ~320 ms median gap between liveness and favicon.

**Proposed behavior**
The purge and the debounced tenant sync stay ordered. The membership
read and the owner-elevation read run at the same time as them. The sync
writes only the primary company's membership, and the membership read
excludes that company, so the result does not change.

**Reason and benefit**
A synced request costs one database wait instead of three. With 150 ms
of injected database latency, a synced resolution goes from 914 ms to
310 ms (3 runs each, same machine).

**Breaking changes**
None.

## What Changed

- `resolveCloudTenantActorOnce` starts the purge-and-sync, the
additional-membership read and `resolveOwnerInstanceAdmin` together and
awaits them with `Promise.all`. A membership read failure still degrades
to the primary company. The owner-elevation read still fails closed.
- New regression test
`server/src/__tests__/cloud-tenant-actor-round-trips.test.ts`. It
connects through a TCP proxy that delays every client write by 150 ms
and asserts that a synced resolution finishes in less than 4 × the
delay. Before the change it takes about 6 × (914 ms); after the change
about 2 × (310 ms).
- `auth-session-route.test.ts`: the fake database binds each
`returning()` to its own insert, and the test matches inserts by content
instead of position, because the instance-settings insert can now happen
in parallel with the tenant sync.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/cloud-tenant-actor-round-trips.test.ts` — red on
`origin/master` (914 ms, 913 ms, 916 ms), green with the change (310
ms).
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/cloud-tenant-company-provisioning.test.ts
src/__tests__/auth-session-route.test.ts src/__tests__/liveness.test.ts
src/__tests__/cloud-warm-standby.test.ts
src/middleware/cloud-tenant-actor.test.ts`
- `pnpm verify` (selected tests), and CI.
- After deploy: compare `/favicon.ico` and `/api/cli-auth/me` client
time with `/api/liveness` on staging. Expect the median gap to drop from
about 3 database waits to about 1.

## Risks

- Low risk. Authorization does not change: the same statements run and
the request waits for all of them before it continues.
- Each request now uses up to three pooled connections at the same time
instead of one. The staging pool limit is 500, so this is not a concern
there. Smaller pools reach their limit sooner under a burst.
- The diff re-indents the purge-and-sync block. The statements in it do
not change.

Dotta f73ff4ace9 fix(native): reprove stale filesystem preservation receipts (#20438)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent work and preserves saved native sessions
across releases.
> - Filesystem independence receipts bind database facts to preserved
controller and skill evidence.
> - A workspace migration can add run metadata without changing those
preserved bytes.
> - That change makes the saved facts digest stale. Full native
preservation then refuses the existing receipt, even after fresh source
checks.
> - WEB preservation already supports a full current proof and guarded
receipt refresh.
> - This pull request applies that pattern to full native receipts,
reuses the authenticated archive, and keeps the existing ownership and
destruction checks.
> - The benefit is a current receipt without a new archive or provider
replay.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #20322.

**What happened?**

Adding the canonical `legacyWorkspaceRecoveryMigration` marker to a
settled native run makes its saved receipt stale. The full native
preservation owner checks current evidence but then refuses the old
facts digest.

**Expected behavior**

The owner can refresh the proof metadata after it proves all current
facts and preserved bindings again. Changed evidence or authority must
leave the prior receipt intact.

**Steps to reproduce**

Use the added PostgreSQL regression. It saves a valid receipt for a
succeeded source with 453 checkpoint parts, adds the producer-shaped
migration marker, and calls preservation again. The unchanged owner
fails with `native_harness_filesystem_independence_unverified`.

## What Changed

- Reuse the prior controller archive through the existing authenticated
readback path.
- Require the old receipt to match every current immutable binding
before a facts refresh. Reconstruct its exact digest from unchanged
bindings and the prior proof fields.
- Recheck current database facts, assets, controller and local files
under the existing finalizer, selection, task and run fences.
- Publish with an exact prior-receipt comparison. Keep a valid
concurrent winner and refuse changed receipts or new owners.
- Audit the prior receipt digest and four proof fields. Add focused
source, integrity, race and DB-only validation tests, and update the
database guide.

## Verification

- Local Node24 canonical preflight and plugin SDK prerequisites passed.
The Runner build came from the content cache. After a normal merge of
fresh master, preflight confirmed unchanged build inputs.
- Genuine RED on `3040448da5`: the saved receipt is valid before the
migration marker and stale afterward. Reproof fails at the old receipt
guard (one failed, 102 intentionally not selected). Both retained RED
attempts reached that same guard.
- GREEN on final local merge `00f4b5d678083106afc88fb2f7e0588961b46d6d`:
19 PostgreSQL controls passed, 91 intentionally not selected (17.75s).
The wrapper completed cleanup.
- The positive preserves the same archive, controller bytes, assets,
local proof and all 453 checkpoint parts. It performs authenticated
object reads and zero archive PUTs. Runs, results, finalizers and leases
remain unchanged except for the receipt. The audit reconstructs the
exact prior receipt.
- DB-only validation passes with the original home, state directory and
volume absent, while storage reads throw.
- Refusal and race controls cover changed asset bindings, raw controller
bytes, missing destruction evidence, unknown receipt fields, a valid
concurrent winner, changed receipts and a late active owner. Existing
WEB refresh, physical finalization-lock and saved-binding controls also
pass.
- Server TypeScript passed, including the adjacent integration test.
Fresh Greptile is 5/5 on exact head
`00f4b5d678083106afc88fb2f7e0588961b46d6d`, with no review threads
([review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/20438#issuecomment-6756548830)).
Final-head CI is terminal: 56 success, 4 skipped and 1 neutral. The
aggregate `ci / verify` passed
([run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42737704110)).
- The first Runner-support job had one unrelated process-inspection
nonpass: `server-stop.test.ts` expected a successful wrapper close, but
its bounded process inspector returned no table. Its cause remains
unknown. The unchanged test, process helpers, workflow and dependency
inputs match the passed master control. One authorized same-head job
retry passed all 328 files / 6,927 tests (4 skipped); the exact
previously failed case passed in 665ms
([retry](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42737704110/job/129576420893)).
No timeout, assertion or source change was made for the retry.

pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsc --noEmit
```

## Risks

- Old receipt schemas and immutable bindings remain required. Full fresh
proof carries compatible saved receipts forward; unknown fields or
changed evidence refuse refresh and preserve the old receipt.
- Full native preservation still requires canonical destroyed-provider
receipts. The change retains the existing source capability,
cancellation, finalizer and publication checks.
- Only proof metadata changes. No provider operation, archive
replacement, hosted recovery or deployment was performed for this PR.
Live qualification remains with the operator after delivery.

DottaandPaperclip 07f6e8ff75 perf(workspaces): group same-root cohorts with bounded workers (#20437)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip preserves agent work when its control-plane server is
replaced.
> - Online migration imports local workspaces into authenticated
snapshots.
> - Several workspace records can point to one physical directory.
> - Shared child verification avoids repeated work inside one held
cohort fence.
> - The eight-member limit splits 30 identical-root aliases into four
cohorts and repeats the child passes.
> - This pull request admits up to 32 members only for one canonical
physical root, while keeping each work stage bounded to eight peers.
> - The benefit is fewer repeated child checks while capture and
publication guards stay in place.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #19873, #19882, #20418, #20424, #20429. Related PR search found
shared verification and restart fixes, but no larger same-root cohort
owner. The shared verifier and archived-source changes are merged into
this branch from current master.

**Current behavior**

Thirty fresh aliases of one physical root require cohorts of 8, 8, 8 and
6. Each cohort performs an initial and final local child-validation
pass. The same children are checked eight times in total.

**Proposed behavior**

Admit one cohort with nine to 32 members only when every canonical
resolved physical root is exactly equal. Keep the existing complete
source-scope equality and admission guards. Keep mixed-leaf cohorts
limited to eight members. Bound source reads, reservations, recovery
checks, final readers, replay and cleanup to eight joined peers. Capture
concurrency stays at most eight.

**Reason and benefit**

For N distinct canonical covered children, the 30-alias case changes 8N
local child checks to 2N, a 75% reduction in repeated child validation.
If N is 68, that is 544 checks versus 136. Thirty parent captures,
uploads and restores remain required. No total wall-clock improvement is
claimed.

**Breaking changes**

Saved cohort fields and exact membership remain unchanged. Older tools
that enforce the eight-member bound refuse larger cohorts. Use the newer
tool to resume them; never split or regroup their saved membership.

## What Changed

- Raise the canonical service, saved-cohort and maintenance-request
member bounds to 32. Keep the capture-worker bound at eight and
single-workspace modes at one.
- Require one exact canonical physical root for more than eight members.
Keep the existing full source-scope comparison, leaf rule and P/I/L/F
guards.
- Use one private stage mapper with batches of at most eight. Join every
started peer before an error can leave the stage. Stop future batches
after a failure or cancellation.
- Preserve the existing cancellation and pending-snapshot ordering for
stages of at most eight members. Check cancellation around extended
batches.
- Keep all saved cohort, member, operation and snapshot identities,
proof refresh and atomic publication checks.
- Bound cleanup without skipping later scratch cleanup after an earlier
cleanup error.
- Extend the existing PostgreSQL fixture with ten real aliases,
partial-upload resume, cold restoration, replay and mixed-root refusal.
Extend the request boundary test.
- Document old-tool refusal, work counts and the retained-scratch
capacity bound.

## Verification

- Canonical Node24 worktree preflight and Plugin SDK prerequisites
passed. After merging current master, preflight passed again with
unchanged cached build inputs.
- Genuine RED on the old bound: both real ten-alias import/resume cases
and the 32-member request reject the eight-member limit (3 failed; 47
not selected; 18.23 seconds).
- First focused GREEN: 4 passed in 24.20 seconds. The fresh ten-alias
case performs exactly four local child captures for two children: one
initial and one final pass. Actual reader, transaction and upload maxima
are eight. All ten archives cold-restore after the original source is
parked; replay retains the same cohort.
- The partial-upload case keeps all ten saved operation IDs and the
existing snapshot IDs. More than eight members across different
canonical leaf roots refuse before any journal or storage work. The
request parser accepts 32 members and eight workers, and refuses 33
members or nine workers.
- The first expanded corpus had 55 passes and one real compatibility
failure: a new eager cancellation check skipped the old pending snapshot
boundary. The mapper now retains existing cancellation ordering for at
most eight peers. That failure remains recorded as a nonpass.
- Final sources include current master at `18697b8d21`, with the
verifier, archived-source and UI repairs. The selected four-file corpus
passes 47 cases in 78.88 seconds, with 191 intentionally not selected.
The full maintenance suite separately passes 23 cases in 10.21 seconds.
Nine cases overlap; the final union is 61 distinct passing checks.
- Final coverage includes all 27 cohort cases, all 23 maintenance cases,
all six actual old-format compatibility cases and five archived
prepared-source controls. Existing source mutation, finalizer
contention, actual fence loss, cancellation peer joins, journal
compare-and-swap and outer-commit rollback controls pass.
- Final server TypeScript, module boundaries and whitespace checks pass.
Only the resource-risk documentation changed after that test run;
runtime and fixture bytes stayed unchanged.
- Commands: `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/services/remote-workspace-cohort-migration.test.ts
server/src/maintenance/online-workspace-migration.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/online-workspace-migration-compatibility.test.ts`;
archived controls use the existing `remote-workspace-migration.test.ts`
cases named `unselected archived recipe` and `archived prepared source`;
`pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsc --noEmit`; `node
scripts/check-module-boundaries.mjs`.
- Initial source review was 4/5 and requested a control for the extended
reader-batch stop boundary. The test-only follow-up
`ca80ae9cc8791a72dab632090488093c5d0916f3` adds actual ten-member
failure and cancellation cases. They hold a first-batch peer, verify
that the source fence stays held, and prove members nine and ten never
start preflight. Both pass in 10.87 seconds with no new journal,
snapshot or upload effects. Runtime source hashes are unchanged; the
local union is now 63 distinct checks.
- The first stop-test attempt observed the two controlled readers before
all SQL-backed peers had entered the inspection callback. Its assertion
was too early. The corrected test checks the held first-batch readers at
that point, then requires all eight to join before completion. Both
cases pass; the earlier attempt remains a nonpass.
- Final head `ca80ae9cc8791a72dab632090488093c5d0916f3`: [required
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42737676664)
and [aggregate
verify](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42737676664/job/129575813765)
passed. Full rollup: 56 successes, four intentional skips and one
advisory neutral result. Classic Snyk passed.
[Greptile](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/20437#issuecomment-6756419093)
and
[Ponytail](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/20437#issuecomment-6756388693)
both reviewed that exact head at 5/5. The one review finding is
addressed and resolved; no open findings remain. Older partial CI and
the initial 4/5 review remain nonfinal evidence. Hosted acceptance and
measured wall-clock savings remain pending.

## Risks

- Completed parent captures retain their scratch until the atomic
publication completes. A 32-member cohort can retain up to four times
the parent scratch of an eight-member cohort. Check actual parent
capture, verification and restore sizes against current target
filesystem capacity before selecting a larger cohort. Keep the existing
resource guards.
- Larger member arrays must not raise execution fanout. Every
reader/reservation/final stage is bounded to eight and joins current
peers before failure. Capture workers remain at most eight;
child-verification workers remain two.
- More than eight members require the exact same canonical physical root
and complete source scope. A different root, new writer, changed source,
recovery owner or journal still refuses through the existing owners.
- Shared verification is limited to the held invocation fence. The
separate fresh final pass remains required after all captures join.
Different child sets and restart attempts do not share a local-byte
proof.
- The old saved membership and archive identities remain authoritative.
Older tools fail closed on the larger bound. No schema, archive or
provider format changes are included.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with repository tools and code execution.
The runtime does not expose a more specific deployment identifier or
context-window size.
