DottaandPaperclip 9d19f98b50 fix: harden native chat recovery and add coordination evals (#13741)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents and their work.
> - Agent chat uses native runner sessions to plan, delegate, and track
that work.
> - A user can press Stop while the native session is still starting.
> - The server can acknowledge that Stop without dispatching it, then
let the session submit a turn.
> - This leaves chat recovery waiting for an execution that the user
expected to stop.
> - This PR waits for the startup handle, dispatches cancellation, and
prevents a late startup from submitting a turn.
> - New full-stack evals check the resulting records and outputs across
Claude and Codex.
> - Those evals also exposed missing ACPX readiness fields, unbounded
polling, and an old-run identity check that rejected valid warm
handoffs.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Stop during native startup could record an acknowledged cancellation
with `dispatched: false`. The provider could then begin work. A
subsequent `/new` stayed queued. A remote Claude follow-up also
exhausted the command journal while probing warm-session readiness: ACPX
never returned the readiness fields required by the shared transport.
Once readiness worked, attachment incorrectly compared the next run
descriptor against the old run ID. The 25 ms polling loop could issue
4,800 commands during its two-minute wait, beyond the 500-command bound.
The existing chat eval treated lifecycle logs as proof of an active
provider turn, so it did not distinguish startup cancellation from
active-turn cancellation.

**Expected behavior**

A Stop during startup must reach the pending session. A late session
must not submit a prompt after Stop. Recovery must retain control when
startup exceeds the bounded wait. Chat evals must check saved task
state, document contents, worker identity, account binding, and
duplicate effects.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a native Claude or Codex chat turn.
2. Press Stop after process startup is requested but before the provider
turn starts.
3. Send `/new`, then send a fresh message.
4. On the affected base, cancellation can be acknowledged without
dispatch and the reset stays queued.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The live Claude baseline reproduced this on `29d6b3509`. The branch also
includes master commit `0f5fafe16`.

Related work: #13678, #13686, #13693, #13291, #13738. A separate runner
reliability branch also contains a startup-wait fix. Its overlap must be
reconciled before merging; this branch additionally prevents prompt
submission after a late startup.

## What Changed

- Wait for a pending native startup before acknowledging a run-scoped
Stop. Preserve the existing recovery error when that wait expires.
- Keep a Stop guard on startup. Cancel a late handle before it can
submit a provider turn.
- Add regression tests for normal handle publication and publication
after the Stop deadline.
- Back off blocked warm-attachment probes. Keep the fast two-snapshot
barrier, fail closed, and record changed blockers.
- Add red/green tests for delayed readiness, persistent blockers,
alternating readiness, and readiness near the deadline.
- Publish ACPX readiness and blockers. Preserve the old authority’s
event acknowledgement barrier; only settled sessions can proceed to
attachment.
- Bind warm ACPX descriptors to the validated next authority while
retaining old-run event correlation until activation. Preserve session
identity and provider profile checks.
- Exercise two consecutive run rotations through a qualified fake
sidecar, verifying checkpointing, provider identity, pre-activation
rejection, and new-run work admission.
- Separate startup and active-turn cancellation checkpoints in the
browser eval.
- Add 18 explicit native chat eval cells: 12 local and 6 Daytona cells
across Claude and Codex.
- Cover hiring and reuse through managed AI accounts, source-based
review, current blocked-task status, request replay after a lost HTTP
acknowledgement, server restart continuity, and Stop/reset continuity.
- Use ordinary production agent instructions. Enable API tools only for
the two coordination cases that need them.
- Calibrate the matchers with invalid records and outputs. Require
remembered context after restart and a structured status snapshot that
distinguishes the current blocker from history and task status from
active execution. Compare the public issue mutation contract and
relationships during read-only reporting. Preserve before/after source
records in failed eval evidence.
- Fix the lost-ack browser harness and verify it against a real HTTP
server. Check the chat composer after restart instead of waiting for an
unrelated document lifecycle event.
- Document the scope and limits of each case.

## Verification

- The startup regression failed on the unfixed executor and passed after
the fix.
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:typecheck` passed.
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:unit` passed: 424 tests in 37 files.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts`
passed: 385 tests.
- [Baseline live
campaign](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35608208868):
Claude Stop reproduced the bug. Codex Stop and Claude hire/reuse passed.
Codex delegation was blocked by provider capacity.
- [Eval-only startup
campaign](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35609479786):
both providers failed as expected. Both persisted `dispatched: false`
and left `/new` queued.
- [First fixed
campaign](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35610533706)
on `c9e95797d`: 10/18 cells passed. Startup Stop passed for both
providers. Failed cases exposed eval harness defects and remote
continuity failures. All attempts remain available.
- [Original workflows and stronger memory
checks](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35611896649)
on `c04324fab`: 9/12 passed. Reassignment, local restart memory, and
startup Stop passed for both providers; Codex remote restart passed.
Claude remote restart exposed the missing readiness contract. Two Codex
planning cells hit provider capacity.
- [Unchanged-model
retry](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35613854548):
Codex planning and backlog creation both passed.
- [18-cell campaign with ACPX
readiness](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35614586963)
on `6a98ef743`: 16/18 passed, including all local/remote Stop and
committed-send cases. Claude remote continuity exposed the
next-authority check, now fixed. Codex hiring produced its checklist,
but the runner redacted the requested marker after it appeared as
“Tracking token: …”. That content-redaction policy is unchanged and
remains an explicit limitation.
- [Structured status
grading](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35614954725)
on `50448c228`: both providers passed on their first attempt, including
cleanup.
- [Complete read-only state
grading](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35616089011)
on `551e13892`: both providers passed.
- [Final ACPX handoff and hiring
retry](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35617045456)
on `cbd637587`: all three Claude Daytona cases passed (restart
continuity, active Stop/reset, and lost-ack replay). Codex hiring
reproduced the content-redaction failure: the saved checklist contained
`Tracking token: [REDACTED]` instead of the required business marker.
All four cases completed cleanup successfully. [Published
report](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-35617045456-1/).
The only subsequent commit adds the qualified-sidecar integration test;
production code is identical to this live proof.
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:browser-support` passed: 5 browser tests without
paid models.
- Runner TypeScript typecheck passed. All 5 warm-readiness tests pass;
two failed with the prior fixed-rate loop, and the late-readiness test
failed before the pacing correction.
- ACPX readiness and warm-identity regressions each failed before their
fixes. All 292 runner-core Rust library tests passed. The
qualified-sidecar integration test passes. Rust formatting is checked.
- Status-grader regressions for misleading historical mentions and
previously unchecked mutations each failed before tightening the oracle
and pass now.
- [Latest-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35617522307)
passed on `a4093c8f1`: full build, type checks, test partitions, browser
E2E, and native runner checks. Two unrelated tests initially failed
(Sentry fixture release attribution and local-service fixture
readiness); both passed locally together (35 passed, 5 optional SDK
tests skipped) and on the failed-job retry. No changes were made to
those tests.
- Greptile reviewed `a4093c8f1` at 5/5; both earlier findings are fixed
and all review threads are resolved.
- The paid live suite is not fully green: the reproducible
content-redaction case remains red. This is separate from the passing PR
merge checks. No production content-redaction, prompt, model, or
completion-policy change is included.
- Managed-account hiring and review cases explicitly enable API tools;
these do not qualify default new-user onboarding.

## Risks

- Stop can wait up to 30 seconds for startup, then use the existing
pending-recovery path. This does not prove that remote cleanup has
finished.
- Blocked warm readiness adds up to 750 ms between later probes with the
two-minute remote budget, or about 32 ms with the default five-second
budget. Ready sessions retain the short second barrier.
- Paid evals can fail because of provider capacity or agent decisions.
Each failure needs evidence-based classification.
- The HTTP request replay case checks comment idempotency and duplicate
effects. It does not prove replay safety for an ambiguous provider tool
call.
- The new suite is opt-in. It does not increase the default paid
campaign.
- No production prompts or model selection change. Review-handoff
behavior and content-redaction policy remain separate product decisions.
The latter can remove harmless business content that looks like
credential syntax; the failing attempt is retained.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 9f30eb10dd fix: reduce chat latency and preserve managed session reuse (#13710)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and keeps their work attached to tasks.
> - Chat connectors carry user messages and agent replies between a
provider and those tasks.
> - Each extra startup and context reset delays a reply.
> - Managed account metadata was lost during adapter decoding, so
compatible follow-ups started fresh.
> - This branch fixes the reset and measures the remaining preparation,
execution, and delivery costs.
> - The changes must preserve account isolation, authorization, durable
output, and recovery ownership.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13699. The related service lifecycle work in #13410 and #13408 is
separate; this branch focuses on task-bound chat response latency.

**What happened?**

Managed AI follow-ups started new provider sessions even after their
configuration fingerprint stayed stable. The Codex codec removes unknown
fields. The resume check then read the removed credential identity and
treated it as a credential change.

**Expected behavior**

Compatible follow-ups resume the correct provider session. Changes to
credentials, responsible users, permissions, or task configuration
retain their reset behavior.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Use a Slack connector with a managed AI connection.
2. Send a message, then send a same-thread follow-up.
3. Inspect the configuration reset reason and the provider session
identity.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `2a99de80ec52db01eead901f28323926ceaf3c1d`.

**Deployment mode**

Cloud staging with a native Codex runner.

## What Changed

- Read saved credential identity before adapter decoding discards it.
- Remove the internal credential identity from adapter-facing session
params.
- Test the real Codex codec and missing, changed, or unmanaged identity
cases.
- Preserve configured warm Codex runners and flush refreshed credentials
after every turn.
- Fence detached or closing session handles from successor credential
ownership.
- Stage current Codex launch credentials after restoring durable session
history, uploading launch assets only once.
- Reuse a runner binary already in the retained sandbox only when its
SHA-256 matches the controller-owned artifact; still verify required
capabilities before launch.
- Lock the task before the run when saving results, preventing deadlocks
with task updates.
- Scope reusable projectless sandboxes to the company, environment,
task, agent, and runtime configuration; verify Daytona sentinels for
that scope.
- Admit a new authorized chat message after a fully committed failed run
and verified process cleanup.
- Send compact deltas for verified plain-text Slack continuations. Match
the actual prior run and current comment identity/body; exclude edited
historical comments and prior agent output, preserve genuine brief edits
and the full bootstrap fallback.
- Keep attachments, omitted input, questions, approvals, recovery, and
other providers on their existing framing.
- Document managed session compatibility, credential lifecycle, and
compact continuation boundaries.

## Verification

- Workspace/session coverage: 156 tests passed.
- Native session and credential ownership coverage: 390 tests passed,
including exact artifact reuse, mismatches, failed probes, timeouts, and
explicit artifact overrides.
- Explicit continuation and durable chat authorization coverage: 172
tests passed.
- Session resume and launch preparation coverage: 416 tests passed.
- Result persistence coverage: 15 tests passed. The new concurrency test
reproduced a PostgreSQL deadlock before the lock-order fix.
- Environment lifecycle coverage: 92 tests passed, including projectless
reuse and task/agent isolation at both selection and atomic handoff.
- Daytona plugin coverage: 237 tests passed; 6 gated tests skipped.
Standalone plugin build passed.
- Compact Slack continuation and native resume coverage: 69 tests
passed, including full-bootstrap retention, matching message
authors/bodies, current-delivery selection, rejection of duplicate
identities and historical comments, brief edits, and attachment/recovery
fallbacks.
- Final frozen-head `pnpm test:run` on repository-supported Node 26: 668
suites passed, 3 skipped, 1 failed; 12,797 tests passed and 82 skipped.
The sole failure was a local `socket hang up` in
`issue-recovery-actions.test.ts`, not an authorization assertion
mismatch. All 57 tests in that suite passed three fresh reruns, and the
suite passed latest-head CI. The full local invocation is therefore not
claimed green.
- An earlier Node 24 full run exposed an unrelated macOS symlink-cleanup
failure; that 11-test catalog suite passes on Node 26 and in CI. No test
behavior or timeout was relaxed.
- Full local typecheck and build passed. Latest-head CI is green;
Greptile is 5/5 with no unresolved review threads.
- Two real Slack baseline replies took 25.1 and 24.6 seconds
(24.9-second mean). Three same-thread signed probes on this head took
23.8, 23.9, and 22.7 seconds (23.5-second mean). This is a small sample
and a modest wall-clock improvement, not a large or statistically
established speedup.
- In that same thread, uncached provider input fell from 8,514 tokens
before compact input to 694–765 tokens afterward. The current delivery
uses a 362-character delta; the full 19–21k-character bootstrap remains
available for failed resume. Verified runner artifact preparation fell
from about 1.2 seconds to 0.6 seconds.
- A fresh thread created a separate task, sandbox, and provider session
with full bootstrap (24.4 seconds). Its follow-up reused its own
sandbox/session and compact input (28.3 seconds, including 16 seconds of
model execution). Model variability and process startup remain
substantial.
- A signed duplicate webhook produced exactly one user comment, one
successful run, and one final Slack reply. Slack's API independently
confirmed the actual replies and a public task URL without an internal
or pool hostname.
- Earlier signed probes verified recovery after a failed run and reuse
across a server deployment. The final idle test observed Daytona report
the sandbox as stopped, then delivered a new reply in 19.9 seconds using
the same sandbox/provider-session identity and compact input. Slack’s
API confirmed that reply.
- Live probes use signed synthetic inbound webhooks and real outbound
Slack delivery, read back through Slack’s API. The final browser recheck
found the Mac locked and the Slack tab blocked by another extension, so
this is not claimed as full UI E2E proof.
- This is a review branch. Do not merge until the maintainer reviews it.

## Risks

- Incorrect session reuse could mix account or task context. Missing or
changed identities continue to reset, and existing authorization checks
remain in place.
- Warm mode remains opt-in. Remote warm mode requires a reusable sandbox
lease. Retained processes keep credentials until they close, so idle
expiry and ownership fences are required.
- A fresh user message may continue after a committed provider failure.
Approval, current authorization, process termination, and prior-result
checks remain required.
- Projectless sandbox reuse is task- and agent-scoped. Missing or
mismatched ownership cannot replace an existing lease; existing
workspace-scoped leases keep their scope. Opt-in reuse retains a sandbox
per task/agent, so provider auto-stop and deletion policies still
determine idle compute and storage costs. Fleet defaults are unchanged.
- Compact prompts apply only after proven resume and a matching
prior-run delta. Missing or specialized context falls back to full
input; fresh sessions always receive the full bootstrap.
- No schema or migration changes.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with code editing, tool use, and test
execution. The exact serving model ID and context-window size are not
exposed by this session.

DottaandPaperclip b193077582 fix: report Slack callback health correctly behind Cloud proxies (#13694)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Slack connections turn messages into governed agent runs and return
replies to Slack.
> - Remote runs must replace an incompatible sandbox runner with the
controller's packaged binary.
> - The fallback used a package-relative path that does not match the
vendored server layout.
> - Slack callback health also compared the internal proxy address with
the public callback address.
> - Master now contains the runner fallback fix; this pull request fixes
callback health and extends missing-runner regression coverage.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13677, #13680, #13691, and #13686.

**What happened?**

A packaged controller stopped a Slack-triggered remote run with
`runner_remote_artifact_unavailable` when the sandbox runner needed
replacement. Working Slack callbacks also showed a stale URL warning
behind the Cloud gateway.

**Expected behavior**

The controller stages its packaged runner when needed. Callback health
uses the observed public address and still detects real address changes.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run a packaged server with a sandbox that has an older runner or no
runner.
2. Send a Slack mention to an agent that uses that sandbox.
3. Route signed Slack callbacks through a claimed Cloud gateway that
rewrites the upstream host.
4. Check the run and the Slack callback health panel.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on master at `aeef493f4a7603b7b1254421b80fb00212982390`. The
fix branch also includes #13691.

**Deployment mode**

Packaged server with a Cloud gateway and a Daytona sandbox.

## What Changed

- Extend the controller-owned runner fallback tests with a missing
sandbox binary case; retain the fix now merged in #13686.
- Prefer dedicated gateway diagnostic headers that survive provider
rewrites of standard forwarded headers. Use validated host hints only
for callback-health evidence on claimed Cloud instances after provider
acceptance. Preserve request bodies, routing, authentication, and
configured callback URLs.
- Cover current, stale, and missing sandbox runners, all Slack callback
surfaces, rejected callbacks, malformed proxy hints, real host and port
changes, and the existing self-hosted behavior.
- Document the artifact lookup and callback-health boundaries.

## Verification

- Native session executor and binary resolver suites: 379 tests passed
after merging current master (`45c99a0d0`).
- Targeted callback integration suite with disposable PostgreSQL: 4
tests passed before rebase.
- Full `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed after merging current
master. The full local suite passed 12,668 tests; one suite failed to
start its disposable PostgreSQL. Rerunning that suite alone passed all
31 tests.
- The built server resolver selected the executable under
`server/dist/vendor/paperclip-runner/bin/`.
- Final callback regression: all 4 targeted integration tests pass,
covering provider header rewrites, default ports, uppercase/trailing-dot
hosts, and ignored self-hosted hints.
- Live staging proof of the runner fix: a previously failed Slack thread
recovered, a new mention received its requested response, and the
account-connect command succeeded. Unsigned callbacks returned 401.
- Live browser and Slack acceptance passed: generated callback URLs,
account linking, a new mention, an interactive question and answer, and
all three callback-health indicators. The connector was activated
through the onboarding UI.
- All 54 latest-head checks pass, two optional checks are skipped, and
Greptile is 5/5 with no unresolved threads.

## Risks

- Runner fallback must select a binary for the remote platform. This
preserves explicit remote artifact overrides and the existing capability
checks.
- Proxy headers are not identity proof. They are used only for
diagnostics on claimed Cloud instances after the provider accepts the
request. Self-hosted instances ignore them. Wrong public hosts and ports
still warn.
- No database migration or new public API contract.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 via Codex. Used reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and browser/native-app testing. Exact model variant and
context window were not exposed by the session.

DottaandPaperclip 7bc03e0acd feat(runner): default harnesses to full auto and support task reassignment (#13686)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people manage AI agents and their work.
> - Agent Chat uses native runners to save plans and coordinate tasks.
> - Provider defaults differed across harnesses and could stop
unattended work at a second permission gate.
> - Agents also lacked a dedicated tool to move existing work to another
agent safely.
> - This change defaults native providers to full automatic permission
for provider tools and connected tools.
> - A guarded reassignment tool preserves task identity, stops the
previous run, and schedules the new owner once.
> - Codex and Claude chat acceptance tests now use production permission
defaults.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Native runner, ACPX Claude permission policy, task authority, and Agent
Chat acceptance tests.

**Problem or motivation**

A user can authorize an agent to save a plan or create a task, but
Claude's default provider gate can still stop that action. Reassignment
needs a dedicated operation that preserves context and avoids concurrent
owners or unintended recovery runs.

**Proposed solution**

Default Claude/ACPX to `approve-all`, OpenCode to `allow`, and Codex to
`never`. Apply the defaults at configuration, execution, fresh-session,
resume, driver, and proxy boundaries. Keep explicit permission settings
and server-side company, claim, task-mode, and approval checks. Add
`reassign_task` with version checks, durable idempotency, audited
cancellation, and guarded successor scheduling.

**Alternatives considered**

A Paperclip-only allowlist still blocks provider tools and other
connections during unattended work. Full automatic permission is the
requested product default. Recreating a task discards its identity and
history. Updating assignment without stopping the previous run can leave
two agents working on the same task.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends the existing planning, delegated work, governed tool
access, and recovery features. It adds no new service or schema
migration. Recent related tasks and open PRs were checked for duplicate
work.

**Additional context**

Related: #13678 (Agent Chat tools and recovery), #13677 (remote runner
startup). The stacked legacy-adapter companion is #13693. This also
fixes the deployed-server artifact fallback needed to stage the current
runner binary.

## What Changed

- Default Claude/ACPX to `approve-all`, OpenCode to `allow`, and Codex
to `never`, including missing settings at direct driver and proxy entry
points. These defaults cover provider tools and connected tools.
Preserve explicitly configured restrictive modes.
- Include assigned approval reads using canonical side-effect
classifications, so verifying a recorded approval does not trigger
another provider gate. Paperclip approval decisions still enforce
controller authority.
- Carry the new permission mode through server configuration, execution
contracts, recovery identity, TypeScript, and Rust. Keep
`approve-paperclip` as an optional restricted mode, with exact SDK rules
and closed unknown requests. It is not a default.
- Add `reassign_task` to the semantic catalog, controller, mock
authority, and generated contracts.
- Guard reassignment with company authorization, expected owner and
version, protected-state checks, and durable retry receipts.
- Honor explicit backlog task creation atomically with the initial plan,
without scheduling a wake. Preserve backlog holds regardless of
dependency readiness.
- Stop active work before changing ownership. Restore the prior owner
through a guarded, idempotent wake if final handoff validation fails.
Keep intentional reassignment stops out of failure recovery. Preserve
backlog and blocked states without waking them early.
- Add authorization, concurrency, replay, stop, and permission boundary
regressions. Add Codex and Claude chat reassignment cases and run native
chat cases with production defaults.
- Clarify shared runner guidance: save plans and Paperclip documents
directly with `write_document`; create and register a local file only
when a downloadable file is requested.
- Document provider defaults and the operator choices for existing
agents.

## Verification

- Current head `d82fbb0f03546d27cecf072250e4172e0b1ee662`: **55 checks
passed**, with two intentional skips. [PR
checks](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13686/checks).
- Greptile reviewed that exact head at **5/5**. The security reviewer
acknowledged the intended full-auto default, and the acknowledged
discussions are resolved.
- Full workspace `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed locally
after rebasing onto current master. Targeted adapter/server, runner,
API, default/resume, and heartbeat configuration tests passed.
- **All six real-provider acceptance cases passed on their first
attempt, with cleanup passing:** plan handoff, task reassignment, and
backlog creation/status, each on native Claude and Codex. Evidence
records Claude's effective `approve-all` mode. [Campaign and
downloadable
evidence](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35469926548).
- The live campaign tested combined revision
`a37881c824dcd7170380fc4b788732fc743e5da7`. The final PR heads add only
a heartbeat test expectation correction; application code is unchanged
from that live-tested revision.
- The campaign's result-enforcement job passed. Its separate report
publisher failed because the trusted workflow's `patchedDependencies`
configuration differs from its frozen lockfile. All six results and
screenshots remain available as GitHub artifacts. The overall manual
workflow is red for this publishing failure.
- Full-suite coverage is supplied by the passing CI partitions. The
separate unsharded local run was stopped after the corresponding CI
partitions passed; it is not counted as a completed local run.
- Reassignment tests cover stale state, cross-company access, denied
authority, cancellation failure, compensating wake, and idempotent
retries. Backlog tests verify the original creation audit, saved plan,
exact task count, and absence of task-bound runs.

## Risks

- Agents with no explicit permission mode now receive full provider tool
permission, including connected tools. This is a deliberate broad
default. Existing explicit restrictive modes still apply. Controller
authorization, company isolation, workspace boundaries, and Paperclip
governance remain in force.
- Reassignment crosses run cancellation and task ownership transactions.
Durable stop intent, revalidation, audit receipts, and guarded queue
dispatch cover interruptions and retries.
- The new permission enum requires a current runner artifact. The remote
artifact fallback uses the same resolved controller binary for upload
and execution.
- Live provider behavior remains subject to the selected model. Targeted
live results do not qualify the full catalog.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 04546c82d5 fix(runner): reconnect Daytona sessions after controller restart (#13691)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The native runner can execute a task inside a Daytona sandbox.
> - The sandbox can keep running when the Paperclip controller restarts.
> - Recovery treated sandbox process IDs as local process IDs and
selected the wrong recovery path.
> - Live verification also found races between startup, shutdown, and
queued task cleanup.
> - This pull request verifies the existing remote owner and orders
those transitions.
> - Users can continue the same task and provider session after a
controller restart.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The Daytona `recover-controller` cases failed with
`runner_state_identity_mismatch`. Remote process IDs can be absent on
the controller or collide with unrelated local processes. Recovery then
looked for remote state in the local runner directory. Later turns could
also start before the previous executor released its sandbox resources.

**Expected behavior**

Reconnect to the original sandbox and authenticated runner. Preserve the
task, provider session, and queued comments. Reject a replacement
sandbox or mismatched identity. Do not start another provider during
reattachment.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the `everyday-workflows` `recover-controller` case for
`runner-codex` or `runner-acpx-claude` in Daytona. The browser creates a
Python tool, requests a revision, restarts the controller during
execution, and queues another revision. It then downloads and tests the
final ZIP.

Related: #13682 is the preceding operational fix. #13291 addresses
legacy sandbox conversation recovery, a different execution path. #13666
includes broader run-capacity work; this change guards cleanup of an
existing native task executor.

## What Changed

- Add remote runner recovery without interpreting sandbox PIDs on the
controller.
- Verify the original provider lease, remote workspace, durable state,
process marker, and authenticated PRP authority before adoption.
- Compare the process marker with live Linux boot identity and start
ticks to reject PID reuse. Read virtual proc files through the
guaranteed Node runtime; unavailable proof blocks adoption without
blocking a fresh launch.
- Make the E2E supervisor own the actual server process so forced
restart cannot leave a late database closer behind.
- Scope the chat delivery lease test to its own fixture instead of
draining other tests’ pending deliveries.
- Preserve provider-attempt counts and recorded evidence during
reattachment.
- Serialize an idle-session checkpoint with admission of the next native
turn.
- Wait for an in-progress startup to acknowledge restart detachment.
Fail after a bounded deadline if it cannot.
- Keep a queued comment waiting until the previous native task executor
releases its resources. Allow unrelated tasks to continue.
- Update the Daytona image's resolved lock digest to match current
dependency manifests.
- Add classifier, ownership, process, startup, checkpoint, and
queued-admission regression tests. Document recovery behavior.

## Verification

- 415 focused tests passed across native execution, restart recovery,
workspace synchronization, queued admission, and real-process restart
tests. The final Node-based fingerprint change passed all 375
native-session tests.
- Runner harness unit tests: 394 passed. Chat integration shard 2: 335
passed after fixture isolation.
- The exact fingerprint command succeeded twice in a disposable Daytona
sandbox and returned the same identity; the sandbox was deleted.
- 11 real-process restart integration tests passed, including absent and
colliding remote PIDs.
- Repository typecheck and final build passed. Broad local checks found
machine-dependent database startup and timing failures; focused retries
passed. The final-revision PR pipeline is green. One unrelated browser
shard hit a five-second blank-page timeout on the first run and passed
its targeted retry.
- Final-revision local headed browser E2E:
`everyday-workflows.runner-acpx-claude.daytona.recover-controller`
passed on attempt 1 in 4.7 minutes, **40/40 checks**. Manual browser
inspection confirmed Done, all three ZIPs, and delivery of the queued
follow-up. All three runs succeeded using the same provider session. The
harness downloaded and independently tested the final artifact.
- Final-revision Daytona campaign:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35463999611 —
**Codex passed first attempt (4.8 minutes); ACPX Claude passed first
attempt (6.1 minutes)**. Campaign aggregation/publication is finishing;
both test jobs succeeded.
- Greptile reviewed `beb08d8493b3286f5bb988dead369ff8c96a395d`: **5/5**,
no open findings.
- Staging browser verification is pending selection of a disposable
staging instance and removal of a Chrome extension UI block.

## Risks

- Recovery now depends on the original sandbox remaining available. A
replacement or mismatched identity still blocks adoption.
- Shutdown waits up to 30 seconds for a native startup to reach a safe
detach point. An unfinished startup returns a clear failure instead of a
false detach receipt.
- Queued native work on the same task waits for cleanup. Unrelated tasks
remain eligible.
- The image digest update rebuilds the Daytona runtime image. No
database migration or public API change is included.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with repository inspection, code execution, and
browser tools. The runtime does not expose the exact deployed model ID
or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip c1f6c3310a fix(runner): repair catalog runtime and grading boundaries (#13676)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages tasks across persistent agent sessions.
> - The full Runner E2E catalog exposed failures in session restoration,
tool validation, and test controls.
> - These failures prevented valid work from resuming or made a valid
interaction fail the test.
> - Invalid completion reports also reached finalization before the
provider received useful feedback.
> - This pull request repairs those boundaries without changing
production prompts or approval policy.
> - Focused regressions and fresh paid cases verify each fix.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Follow-up to #13655. Stacked on the trusted worker prerequisite fix in
#13674.

**What happened?**

Read-only skill uploads failed in resumed Daytona sandboxes. Invalid
criterion IDs escaped tool validation. A progress event could park a run
before its tool response settled. Partial question forms hid required
answers. Two test assumptions rejected valid plan keys or failed to
navigate an optional question page.

**What did you expect to happen?**

Resume identical skill bundles, give repairable feedback for malformed
completion calls, preserve in-flight tool responses, show all required
questions, and test the rendered workflow accurately.

**Steps to reproduce**

Inspect the failed cases in
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35417932353. Fresh
campaigns:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35444497313 and
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35445327618. The
later backup cleanup is tested in
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35446477285.
Combined report:
https://pages.paperclip.ing/runner-e2e-operational-35444497313/investigation.html.

## What Changed

- Compare immutable archives before reusing read-only Daytona bundles.
Reject corrupted content and preserve unrelated files.
- Validate exact criterion IDs before accepting completion. OpenCode
returns a tool error instead of emitting a result that terminates
runnerd.
- Complete the activity item for rejected OpenCode calls.
- Remove retired read-only harness backups without altering live files
or following symlinks. A fresh paid rerun exposed this later
checkpoint-cleanup failure.
- Exclude progress messages from the governed-wait completion boundary.
- Reject newly created question forms that omit questions or contradict
their stored answer semantics. Keep historical rows readable.
- Navigate all rendered question pages and recognize revision-bound
descriptive plan keys in the continuation suite.

## Verification

- Harness unit suite: 383 tests pass. Harness typecheck passes.
- Native session executor and status corpus: 381 tests pass.
- Shared question and interaction-service tests: 42 pass; native
question bridge and executor: 360 pass. Daytona sync: 21 pass, including
foreign-owner archives and corrupted immutable content.
- OpenCode driver: 29 tests pass, including wrong, missing, and
duplicate criterion IDs followed by a valid retry.
- Repository typecheck and build pass. The later OpenCode activity fix
also passes its package build.
- The latest commit passes all 52 PR checks and Greptile 5/5. The
backup-cleanup fix also passes 351 related local tests and server
typecheck. Local full-suite coverage completed across runs.
adapter-auth-signal-routes and pipelines-routes encountered transient
socket resets; both pass on retry, and all remaining 24 serialized files
pass. Paid reruns are complete: 27 of 29 unique cases pass using the
latest recording per case. Both Daytona controller-restart cases still
fail with runner_state_identity_mismatch; the report describes this
remaining runtime issue. Eight affected cells need #13674 on master
before their rerun.

## Risks

Creation rejects inconsistent dual question representations but does not
change historical records. Immutable bundle comparison must verify bytes
before skipping extraction. Completion feedback must use the contract
bound to the current run. Durable suspension and approval checks remain
enforced. Production prompts are unchanged.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 via Codex, with repository inspection, code editing, and
test execution. The exact API model ID and context-window size are not
exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 9335b7db10 fix(runner): validate inherited environments and replace stale sandbox binaries (#13677)
Resolve the effective environment for account adoption and adapter tests. Preserve saved-agent overrides when the request omits environmentId, and treat explicit null as inheritance from the instance.

Reject sandbox runners that lack unlimited-runtime and connection-lease-renewal capabilities. Stage the bundled runner before launch when the image binary is stale.

Add regression coverage for environment precedence, fail-closed validation, adapter switches, API-key reverification, and runner artifact fallback. Document the operational workaround for older controllers.

DottaandPaperclip 43acbcc398 fix(runner): preserve sessions and complete question and approval continuations (#13655)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The native runner connects task state to provider sessions.
> - Follow-up turns must retain provider memory and carry new user
direction.
> - Lost session IDs caused repeated context and extra input tokens.
> - Native question answers and approval races could leave valid work
blocked.
> - This pull request repairs those paths and adds regression coverage.
> - Agents can continue accepted work without repeating the conversation
or losing the user's answer.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13574. That merged PR shortened continuation prompts and moved
question instructions into tool documentation. This change preserves
sessions and fixes failures exposed by broader testing. Related runtime
work: #13408 and #13410.

**What happened?**

Native follow-up turns could lose the provider session ID. Completion
guidance could replace the original task with its latest comment. Claude
native questions could remain pending after the user answered. Approval
during a running tool call could suspend the run before the tool
response arrived. Onboarding and chat handoff instructions also caused
repeated planning or missing plan documents.

**Expected behavior**

Reuse a valid provider session. Send only new events when that session
already has the history. Preserve the task requirements and apply later
user direction. Store the question answer and deliver it to the waiting
run. Finish governed tool responses before suspending. Execute the
accepted plan without asking for the same approval again.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the continuation, local-session-integrity, first-task, and
agent-chat suites with native Codex and Claude. Include
provider-question-bridge, accept-while-running, and plan-handoff.

**Paperclip version or commit**

This branch is based on master d54b75011. The active full catalog run
tests 4e75881db. Later review fixes have separate regression coverage.

**Deployment mode**

Isolated local instances and Daytona sandboxes in the existing Runner
full-stack E2E harness.

## What Changed

- Retain provider session identity across turns and late usage
snapshots. Send new continuation events on session reuse, with full
context available for a fresh session.
- Preserve task requirements and later direction in completion guidance.
Return the current contract revision after a stale completion
submission.
- Bridge native Claude questions to saved Paperclip cards. Submit
answers through the saved card and resume the same run.
- Delay governed suspension until tool results settle. Add a
deterministic test barrier for approval during an active run.
- Clarify free-text question examples, explicit onboarding plans, and
execution of accepted chat plans.
- Fix continuation readiness, verified output evidence, and declared
screenshot collection.
- Qualify the legacy Claude test CLI at 2.1.277. The old 2.1.19 CLI did
not discover mounted skills. Update the existing workflow pin and
isolated launcher together.
- Refresh the Daytona image lockfile integrity pin after reviewing
master patch updates.
- Carry continuation mode as runtime metadata instead of inferring it
from user-visible text. Install the test Claude CLI without lifecycle
scripts.

## Verification

- Targeted paid verification: 20/20 cases passed across
local-environment campaigns before the rebase.
[Report](https://pages.paperclip.ing/runner-e2e-seven-fixes-35397904249/).
- Harness checks: 379 unit tests passed; harness typecheck passed.
- Latest-head PR checks: 55 passed, two intentionally skipped. Greptile
is 5/5; the security scan passes.
- Review regressions: 350 executor tests and 204 session/driver tests
passed. A script-free Claude install was verified with the actual CLI.
- Full catalog, including the explicit-only everyday suite: [run
35417932353](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35417932353).
Completed: **164/205 passed; 41 failed**. [Full dashboard and failure
investigation](https://pages.paperclip.ing/runner-e2e-full-catalog-35417932353/).
Includes 204 case artifacts and one pre-case GitHub authorization
timeout; missing evidence is not scored as a pass. The full run tested
`4e75881db`; Final-head metadata/CLI smoke cases both passed. In the
separate [six infrastructure
retries](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35419769343),
the GitHub timeout case passed and all five Docker preflight failures
repeated. [Follow-up
dashboard](https://pages.paperclip.ing/runner-e2e-full-catalog-35417932353/follow-up/).
- Full local typecheck and build passed on the rebased branch. The full
local unit run completed with 657 passing files, two test timeouts and
one suite setup timeout. All three affected files passed when rerun in
isolation (84 tests). The first full local run was not clean.
- Focused regression coverage includes the live question bridge,
same-run response delivery, UI routing, stale revisions, approval
overlap, and session reuse.

## Full-catalog follow-ups

- Test infrastructure: 14 Claude everyday cells probe an absent host
CLI; six cells failed pre-task GitHub/Docker qualification (GitHub
passes on retry; all five Docker cases repeat; the workflow preflight
allowlist omits their case IDs); five ACPX Codex cells cannot create
sandbox namespaces.
- Runtime: four OpenCode completion-criteria mismatches masked by
shutdown errors, one service-approval suspension failure; three Daytona
recovery failures encounter existing skill files; one duplicate
completion wake.
- Confirmed test defects: question pagination and a noncanonical plan
document key.
- Product/behavior: mismatched visible/required question sets, an
attachment instead of the requested task document, one lone-option
onboarding question, early completion instead of review, and a Codex
Mini completion-schema failure.
- The report job itself fails on trusted master’s stale patch/lock
configuration. The linked report is rebuilt with the shared renderer
from original cell results and public fixture screenshots; it excludes
private snapshots, logs and traces.

These are investigated follow-ups, not silently regraded passes.
First-task passed 51/52. The PR checks are green independently of the
broader catalog’s behavioral/infrastructure failures.

## Risks

- Session reuse depends on a valid provider identity and context
coverage. Fresh-session fallback and reset tests cover this boundary.
- Native question delivery spans saved interaction state and a live
provider run. Tests cover duplicate events, closed runs, and same-run
answers.
- Provider behavior varies. The full paid catalog may expose failures
beyond these targeted fixes; those results will be reported without
relaxing valid approval or output checks.
- The legacy Claude version update is limited to test infrastructure. No
database migration is included.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with repository inspection, code execution,
and browser/E2E tools. The exact runtime model identifier and
context-window size are not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 78ce96a48b fix(runner): restore native Claude context and read permissions (#13422)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The native runner supplies each agent with instructions, assigned
skills, and tools.
> - Native Claude lost its skill snapshot before provider launch. It
also changed exact model IDs to aliases.
> - The read permission mode denied ordinary Paperclip reads because
this runner has no interactive approval handler.
> - This pull request restores the missing context and permits only
assigned tools that Paperclip defines as reads.
> - Other requests that need approval stop with a clear action for the
operator. They do not retry automatically.
> - Agents can complete read tasks. Users can see why a restricted task
stopped.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Native Claude could not find assigned skills. The ACP layer could
replace an exact model ID with an alias and then fail identity
verification. The default `approve-reads` mode denied Paperclip read
tools. A denied write showed a generic transport failure.

The tool descriptions also called live operations “mock” operations. The
completion prompt said to call a completion tool once, although the
protocol can reject a claim and require a corrected call.

**Expected behavior**

Load assigned skills before launch. Keep the selected model ID. Allow
assigned Paperclip reads. Stop an operation that needs approval with
clear instructions when no approval handler exists.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Configure a native Paperclip Runner agent with ACPX Claude and an
exact model ID.
2. Assign a skill and ask the agent to use it.
3. Select the read permission mode and ask the agent to read task
context and list documents.
4. Ask the agent to write a document. Check the task state and recovery
message.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced from `d351e08deee1b49d3467a950d1a3f01131943441`.

**Deployment mode**

Local native runner with real Claude, Rust runnerd, the Paperclip
server, and embedded PostgreSQL.

Related: #13196 fixed remote skill staging in the legacy `claude_local`
adapter. The native runner uses a separate path, which this pull request
fixes.

## What Changed

- Carry the runtime context through Rust and the ACPX sidecar. Load
assigned Claude skills after the provider lifetime lease is held.
Refresh the files on each open.
- Write the exact requested model ID into the isolated Claude settings.
- Grant exact MCP permissions for the intersection of assigned tools and
Paperclip's read catalog. Provider hints cannot grant access. Existing
task-control permissions stay in place.
- Stop requests that need an unavailable approval handler. Preserve the
typed error through the server. Show “Approval required” on the task and
require operator action without automatic retry.
- Label the setting “Allow Paperclip reads.” Remove “mock” from live
tool descriptions and regenerate the contracts.
- Change one completion-prompt sentence to require one accepted result.
Add regression tests and update the runner documentation.

## Verification

- Red/green regression tests cover read admission, unavailable approval
handling, server recovery, and the task error message.
- A real Claude read trial failed before the fix and completed after it:
[red
trace](https://www.braintrust.dev/app/Paperclip/object?object_type=project_logs&object_id=fda74078-b00d-495a-90d3-ea1be019d71b&id=95e6a326e24437f1),

- Full browser tests used real Claude and the production tool authority.
Reads completed. A write stopped with “Approval required.” No document
was created and no automatic retry was scheduled. All nine checks
passed: [events and
screenshots](https://www.braintrust.dev/app/Paperclip/object?object_type=project_logs&object_id=fda74078-b00d-495a-90d3-ea1be019d71b&id=1c4ff10be0d779cc).
- A separate full browser test assigned a skill, invoked it, and
completed with a marker absent from the task prompt: [skill
evidence](https://www.braintrust.dev/app/Paperclip/object?object_type=project_logs&object_id=fda74078-b00d-495a-90d3-ea1be019d71b&id=ba5fbcb29a60be52).
- Post-rebase checks passed: 128 targeted runner tests, 46 Rust tests,
27 sidecar/protocol contract tests, `pnpm -r typecheck`, and `pnpm
build`. The server/UI red-green checks and `pnpm check:token-gates` also
passed. The full suite passed in CI, including all general and
serialized test shards, all three browser shards, and runner
`check:all`. The duplicate unsharded local full-suite run was stopped
after CI passed.

Braintrust links require project access. The traces contain
provider/runner events and app outcomes. They do not contain raw model
HTTP requests.

## Risks

- `approve-reads` now allows assigned Paperclip reads. Other operations
that need approval stop the turn. Users must review the operation and
change permissions before retrying.
- The Claude settings depend on the pinned ACP and SDK behavior.
Automated tests and real Claude trials cover this boundary.
- The native Codex path is unchanged. The ACPX Codex fallback shares the
clearer approval failure handling.
- Local execution was tested end to end. Remote execution was not run.
This change has no database migration.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex. The agent used reasoning, code execution,
and browser tools. The exact deployment ID and context-window size were
not exposed in the session. Live acceptance tests used
`claude-sonnet-5`.

DottaandPaperclip f2c5e54dca fix(runner): preserve handoff work and publish requested files (#13355)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people manage AI agents and their tasks.
> - A task keeps its instructions, progress, and files when its assigned
agent changes.
> - The replacement runner lost the interrupted run's context and could
overwrite an existing draft.
> - A saved message also stayed attached to the former agent and could
reopen the task after the replacement finished.
> - File tasks could report Done with only a local path that the user
could not open.
> - This pull request transfers handoff context and saved messages, and
makes requested files accessible through the existing attachment
contract.
> - Users can change agents and collect completed work without repeating
instructions or confirming bookkeeping.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13338. Builds on merged #13354 for queue admission and #13353 for
remote workspace retry. #10123 concerns restricted recovery-model
escalation; this change instead covers ordinary native handoff and file
completion.

**What happened?**

Codex wrote a draft before a user assigned the task to Claude. The
replacement lacked continuation context and replaced the draft. A queued
user message could later restart the former agent and reopen the
completed task. Separately, a runner could finish a requested file but
return only a machine-local path. Remote native runs had no bound file
publication tool.

**Expected behavior**

The replacement reads and preserves existing work, receives saved
messages once, and keeps each message's author. The former agent stays
stopped. A requested file has a working attachment or accessible work
product before Done. Text-only tasks do not require attachments.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Ask Codex to save three newsletter names and then wait.
2. Queue an instruction to keep those names and expand the draft.
3. Use Interrupt and assign to select Claude.
4. Verify the original names survive, the result has a working download,
and only the source and replacement runs exist.
5. Ask either provider for a Markdown checklist and open the file from
its completed response.

## What Changed

- Carry the exact same-task interrupted run's summary, semantic
receipts, and history into handoff context. Tell the replacement to
inspect existing files before editing.
- Adopt saved ordinary task comments into the successor's receipt under
the task lock. Preserve authors and separate mention, chat, and
interaction contracts.
- Prevent a former-assignee comment wake from reopening a completed task
or starting a stale execution.
- Reject workspace-only, fabricated, and cross-task file completion
references with actionable runner feedback. New file output also needs a
matching current-run publication receipt and asset filename/size/hash,
or an accessible work product registered by the current run. Prior
output can remain context alongside a current file, or be verified and
re-registered internally. Authorized chat attachment reuse retains its
verified current-run clone receipt; older receipt shapes require an
intact matching source.
- Bind remote file reads to the active environment runner and reuse the
existing attachment and work-product publication path.
- Enforce workspace confinement, regular single-link files, stable
identity, a 10 MiB limit, and exact size and SHA-256 checks. Rotate the
native session fingerprint for the updated tool contract.
- Contain rejected remote signals and protocol-failure cleanup,
including logging failures. Preserve the original cleanup rejection for
its owner; a rejected operation never supplies stop acknowledgement or
cleanup proof.
- Allow exactly one maximum-size base64 file through the native SSH
command adapter, preserving a finite output cap.
- Document handoff and accessible file completion rules.

## Verification

- Each observed bug has a failing regression before its fix. Final
post-rebase integration passed 732 tests across 13 files before the
final receipt and signal guards; final affected results are below.
- Publication provenance and compatibility: 8 provenance regressions and
2 compatibility regressions failed before their fixes; the final four
affected suites pass 53 tests, including mixed old/new references and
real authorized chat reuse. Controls cover old attachments and work
products, filename/size/hash/origin mismatch, missing/wrong receipts,
current-run publication, same-run durable proof, internally
re-registering preserved bytes, and no-new-file follow-ups.
- Remote signal rejection: the real Node subprocess previously exited 1
when the production launcher signalled a deleted sandbox. It now stays
alive for both a failed signal and failed logging; all 349 executor
tests pass. The failed signal still provides no termination proof.
- Remote file reader and SSH command boundary: 33 tests passed,
including real Linux descriptor reads and the actual SSH adapter
subprocess output cap (network executable replaced by a deterministic
fixture). Exact 10 MiB bytes pass, one byte beyond the encoded cap
fails.
- Live local Claude and Codex Stop journeys preserve the saved file,
deliver queued instructions once, and reach Done with two total runs.
The handoff journey preserves the original names and download with
exactly two runs. Both local providers deliver exact checklist files
without a completion confirmation.
- Live combined Daytona verification passed: the original failed task's
Retry reused its sandbox; a selected Git subfolder produced an exact
downloadable file; warm and deliberately resumed Claude runs took about
33 seconds. Codex produced a 240-byte download in 33.1 seconds after 134
seconds of contention/backoff. Both cloud downloads retained exact bytes
after the two owned sandboxes were deleted.
- The sandbox-deletion retest identified a separate ignored promise in
protocol-failure cleanup. Two real Node subprocess regressions failed
under fatal unhandled-rejection policy before the fix; all 36 protocol,
lifecycle, and integrity tests now pass. The original close promise
still rejects to its owning runtime. The final live retest passed: a
normal Claude Daytona task completed in 132.352 seconds, then its
sandbox was deleted. Thirteen samples over 361 seconds confirmed the
same controller stayed healthy, the task stayed Done with unchanged run
IDs, and its attachment retained exact bytes. The post-deletion browser
download passed with zero page errors; all five owned sandboxes are
confirmed absent.
- Full repository typecheck and build passed on final commit
`de64d16f1`. Final-head Greptile is 5/5 with no unresolved threads.
[Final-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34736623758)
passed: 32 successful checks and two conditional skips. The earlier
mixed-source full local test invocation was deliberately stopped before
rebase, so no pristine green full local aggregate is claimed. Its known
failures passed in later affected suites.

## Risks

- Handoff may adopt only ordinary comments from its validated former
owner. Other delivery contracts must remain independent.
- File verification fails closed if a remote file changes during
reading. The runner must retry publication or explain a blocker.
- The updated session fingerprint starts a fresh provider process where
needed to install the new tool contract.
- No schema migration or historical status reconciliation is included.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6-astra` through Codex, with reasoning, code execution,
browser testing, and tool use. The context-window size is not exposed in
this task.

DottaandPaperclip 6809314a3f fix: recover sandbox workspace setup and retries (#13353)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their tasks.
> - Sandbox tasks need a workspace and a provider session before work
can start.
> - A selected Git subfolder is a valid workspace, but it is not a
repository fetch source.
> - A resumed sandbox must keep one resource identity when the provider
fills in its region.
> - Workspace reuse does not prove that a provider session has started.
> - A recorded continuation must not leave an old failure blocking Retry
for a newer attempt.
> - This pull request fixes those setup and recovery boundaries while
preserving ownership checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A Daytona task failed before provider startup when its project folder
was inside a parent Git repository. After the folder was repaired, Retry
resumed the same sandbox and verified its workspace sentinel, but
workspace preparation reported that the lease was no longer active. A
later attempt could fail because the resumed workspace had no provider
checkpoint. The old run also kept a recovery projection after the server
recorded its explicit successor, hiding Retry for the new failure.

**Expected behavior**

Sync the selected folder without importing parent files or history. Keep
the existing sandbox identity stable. Allow a new provider session only
with proof that its exact session has never started. Let the current
failed attempt retain Retry once the old recovery has a recorded
successor.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Select a subfolder of a Git repository as a project workspace and
start a Daytona task.
2. Leave the target region unset. Release its reusable sandbox after
setup fails, then resume and realize the workspace.
3. Retry a provider setup that failed before any session directory or
checkpoint was created.
4. Record an explicit successor for a native failure, fail that
successor during setup, and inspect Retry in the task thread.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced against `8d1f0c20a` with new failing regressions before each
production fix.

**Deployment mode**

Local controller with a Daytona environment. Automated tests use
deterministic provider fixtures and real filesystem operations.

Related: #13338, #13163, #13264, #13349. The open work-folder stack in
#13264 includes a broader fresh-session authority change. This patch
addresses the independently reproduced startup failure with existing
durable bootstrap proof and atomic directory creation. It does not
include the work-folder migration or credential changes from that stack.

## What Changed

- Classify only the selected Git repository root as a fetch source. Sync
subfolders as directories and preserve their enclosing Git ignore rules
on upload and restore. Recognize the shared scheduler’s completed
non-repository result so ordinary folders still sync; timeout,
cancellation, and output-limit failures remain closed.
- Remove the placement target from Daytona account cache identity. Keep
API endpoint, credential digest, company, environment, driver, and
sandbox ID boundaries.
- Preserve closed-lease admission until a sentinel-verified resume
reopens that same resource.
- Show the already-recorded explicit successor of a resolved recovery.
Keep the old failure evidence and unresolved holds. No historical status
writes occur.
- Permit a resumed workspace to create a new session directory only with
matching durable identity, zero connections and events, untouched
bootstrap commands, no backup, and an absent remote session. Claim the
directory atomically. Existing, partial, or ambiguous state still blocks
startup.

## Verification

- Final head `c43c7403f`: [CI completed
successfully](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34733846820/attempts/2),
with 32 successful checks and 2 conditional skips. This includes every
server, UI, package, serialized-route, browser, native-runner,
typecheck, and build gate. Greptile reviewed the same head at [5/5 with
no unresolved
findings](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13353#issuecomment-5650270168).
- New regressions failed before each of the four production fixes.
Git/archive/restore suites: 148 passed. The scheduler-wrapped non-Git
regression also failed before its fix; 135 affected Git/sync/Codex tests
then passed.
- Daytona plugin: 230 passed, 6 opt-in live tests skipped. Native
executor, projection, and TaskChatThread: 494 passed, including
existing/partial state, wrong identity, prior connections or turns,
backups, unavailable proof, and unresolved recovery controls.
- Local full-repository typecheck, build, and token gates passed on the
final head. Local CLI: 485 passed. Complete single-worker package rerun:
3,224 passed, 19 skipped.
- Local verification is an aggregate with recorded retries, not one
pristine green invocation: the general-server run began on `e721a920a`
and finished with 12,002 passed, 3 failed, 70 skipped. Its real Codex
scheduler failure is fixed above; the socket and workspace-runtime
timeout failures passed unchanged in focused reruns. Both Inbox failures
passed unchanged in the full 27-test Inbox file; database/shared-package
failures passed in the single-worker package rerun. The supplemental
local serialized-route rerun remains in progress; all five corresponding
final-head CI lanes passed.
- The first final-head CI attempt hit a Daytona fixture-readiness race
and a signoff-browser heartbeat receipt timeout. One supported unchanged
failed-job rerun passed both and the aggregate gates. Live combined
user-journey verification is tracked in the related follow-up; this PR's
provider tests use deterministic fixtures and real filesystem checks.

## Risks

- A selected subfolder uses directory sync and does not carry parent Git
history. Its ignored files stay local.
- The target region remains a creation setting and part of workspace
reuse policy; it does not split the account identity of an existing
sandbox.
- Incomplete or conflicting provider state still fails closed. This
change does not erase a session, infer completed work, bypass a user
decision, or replay uncertain actions.
- A later remote setup failure can leave a claimed partial session
directory. It remains blocked rather than being overwritten.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 422287eecd fix: preserve runner recovery, warm sessions, and task outcomes (#13338)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The native runner connects task messages, provider execution, and
task outcomes.
> - First-time user tests exposed gaps in recovery, completion
permissions, message delivery, and Stop behavior.
> - These gaps left usable output hidden, completed work waiting for
bookkeeping, or safe work unable to continue.
> - This pull request fixes the shared lifecycle and receipt paths while
preserving process ownership and action checks.
> - Users can continue work with accurate task state and durable
messages.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A stopped local Codex execution could remain blocked even after its
processes had stopped and its complete transcript proved that no
external action needed replay. Claude under Conservative permissions
could fail to call task completion tools. Recovery could reuse an
assistant item ID and overwrite prior output. A delivered comment could
remain marked uncertain after navigation. Stop could look like Pause or
a new recovery incident. Workspace contention could look like
cancellation. A direct reply reopening Done could enter a clarification
loop.

**Expected behavior**

Recover automatically only with verified termination and complete action
receipts. Preserve answers and messages. Keep task completion available
under Conservative permissions without broad tool access. Show crashes
as Blocked, actual human decisions as In Review, and ordinary workspace
contention as waiting. Stop the current response and allow a new
direction.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create ordinary response tasks with local Codex and Claude Code, then
send follow-up messages through the task composer.
2. Interrupt a disposable local Codex runner during text-only work.
Verify automatic continuation and retained output.
3. Stop a response, send a new request, answer a clarification, and
reopen completed work with another message.
4. Navigate or reload while a comment submission is pending. Confirm the
exact persisted request receipt settles it without removing newer draft
text.
5. Run two tasks in a shared Daytona workspace. Confirm waiting does not
appear as failure.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Initial acceptance baseline: `c9021c6721f91e2c74bd9fee9d3fd41c999d17b7`.
Current integration base: `6cef9743c`. Both operator-interruption and
workspace-waiting guards are preserved; native restart and legacy
permission rules remain documented.

**Deployment mode**

An isolated source-built test-drive instance, with real local Codex and
Claude Code providers and disposable Daytona environments.

Related work: #13314, #13316, #13327, #13344, #13239, #13254, #13163.
This PR addresses additional failures from ordinary task journeys,
including controller restart handoff and repeated warm sandbox setup.
Historical task status reconciliation is excluded.

## What Changed

- Persist runner ownership immediately at spawn and resume an explicitly
adopted runner even when the controller crashed before the first driver
checkpoint. Detach the controller safely across graceful restarts,
including session startup. Prevent an old finalizer from suspending or
signaling an adopted runner. Checkpoint idle warm sessions before
shutdown. Preserve the same run and queued follow-up messages.
- Scope saved legacy queue successor checks to the queue owner while
preserving ordinary task locks, operator identity, assignment gates, and
exactly-once delivery.
- Preserve managed Codex credential files when an old session is
detached for restart; normal owned cleanup still copies refreshed auth
back and removes the scoped copy.
- Reuse the bound warm shared sandbox and fully verify an existing
staged provider pack before using it. This avoids repeated uploads when
the pack is already valid.
- Add a narrow local Codex replacement path with stopped-process proof,
a closed transcript inventory, exact completion receipts, and
fresh-session lineage. Preserve no-replay holds when evidence is
incomplete. Recovery may clear only the same run's recorded Blocked
status version; manual re-blocking and dependency changes invalidate
that receipt, while queued comments do not. Later blocks stop scheduled,
queued, and final dispatch; queued/final checks re-read dependencies
even when the task status stays In Progress.
- Permit only task delivery and human-input tools through the isolated
Claude runner's exact task bridge.
- Scope assistant item identity to the provider turn and ignore only
authority-free Codex skill-change notifications during startup.
- Reconcile composer submissions by client request ID across response
loss, navigation, and reload. Retain text typed during delivery.
- Keep acknowledged run-only Stop neutral and show workspace contention
as waiting. Project exhausted native failures as Blocked.
- Restore the guarded task-page retry action for failed legacy runs,
including the server-supported explicit new-attempt path for stopped
conversation adapters. Preserve native/process recovery holds and avoid
promising Retry while a decision or execution gate hides it.
- Refresh delivered artifacts and handle direct user replies that reopen
completed work without a clarification loop.
- Check the embedded PostgreSQL PID, data directory, and actual port
before connecting or migrating.
- Document accepted behavior and add focused regressions at lifecycle,
route, transcript, and UI boundaries.

## Verification

- Final head `fece606ac2` passes the complete GitHub CI matrix: **34
green checks, two expected Storybook skips, no failures or pending
checks**, including `ci / verify`, `ci / e2e`, full runner verification,
typecheck, build, every server/workspace shard, and all browser shards.
[CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34727183287).
Greptile is **5/5 with no open findings**. The final two commits only
refine test fixtures; both affected suites pass 24/24 locally and in CI,
with server typecheck green.
- Complete local Vitest coverage uses the canonical groups/shards: all
635 general server suites, all 145 serialized suites, and all workspace
packages. The aggregate began on `0a8001c18` while the final queue fix
arrived: 23,903 passed, five failed, 87 skipped. The five
port/socket/timing failures passed unchanged in follow-ups (60 tests in
the exposure/file suites and 412 tests covering the serialized failures
and unrun tails). The final queue/operator-identity suites separately
passed 52/52. This is aggregate coverage plus explicit reruns, not a
pristine single-command final-head run.
- After integration with current master,
queue/operator-identity/continuation suites passed 162/162 and affected
UI suites passed 140/140. ACP Stop/continuation and legacy
task/Inbox/message browser suites passed 9/9, including both task
recovery Retry and thread Try again, automatic saved-message delivery,
exactly one new run, Done, and retained output after reload. The default
process Stop/Pause/Resume browser case passed (the native-provider case
is opt-in and skipped by default). The complete Board attachment/receipt
browser suite passed 11/11 on a disposable instance, covering both
composers, exact receipts after lost responses, no replay, bound
attachments, and newer drafts after reload.
- Blocking-intent regressions cover pre-existing Blocked, a mismatched
run/cause, an explicit manual re-block, changed dependencies, a queued
comment after failure, and a block arriving between scheduling and
provider dispatch. The negative cases reproduced before the fix. All 478
affected executor/recovery/dispatch tests passed; both database suites
ran separately after availability-probe skips in the first combined
command. The final late-dependency check passed all 143 affected
recovery/dispatch tests (zero skips) after two new negative cases
reproduced the bug.
- Focused runtime regressions cover awaited runner ownership
publication, authenticated adoption before the first checkpoint,
old-finalizer detachment, idle and busy warm-session shutdown, rejected
checkpoint propagation, provider-pack verification, and managed-Codex
credential preservation. Four managed credential detachment cases
reproduced the bug before the fix; normal owned cleanup still succeeds
exactly once.
- Live local Claude: SIGKILL 2.6 seconds into startup recovered the same
run automatically in 53 seconds, then a normal follow-up completed in 24
seconds. SIGTERM 2.5 seconds into startup preserved the same run (54
seconds) and its queued follow-up (21 seconds). Answers remained visible
and the task reached Done.
- Live Claude Daytona: a warm follow-up retained its sandbox and fell
from 121 seconds to 44 seconds. A separate cold turn took 127 seconds;
after controller shutdown and checkpointing, its follow-up completed in
33 seconds with the same sandbox, workspace, native session, and runner.
Both answers remained visible and the task was Done.
- Other live journeys covered task completion and follow-up with local
and Daytona Codex, local Codex crash recovery, Stop then new direction,
clarification response, live artifact refresh, and shared-workspace
waiting.
- Validation limits: the opt-in native composer Stop/Pause→subtree
Resume fixture exposes terminal/result ordering and subtree-cancellation
attribution bugs that can leave a child task blocked; that new finding
is assigned to a separate follow-up and is not claimed fixed here.
Default CI skips this optional native-provider fixture. Managed-Codex
credential handoff and the queue-agent integration use automated
regression evidence. Cold custom provider-pack uploads still add startup
latency.

## Risks

- Automatic replacement remains deliberately narrow: local Codex,
verified stopped identities, unchanged retained state, and a complete
text/completion-only turn. Unknown actions, partial history, or changed
ownership remain blocked.
- Claude completion permission handling changes an upstream package
patch. The exact isolated task bridge must remain pinned; unrelated
tools keep their existing permissions.
- New task failure projection changes user-visible status. No historical
status backfill or database migration is included.
- This is a broad lifecycle fix across server and UI. Live proof covers
graceful local Claude restart during startup and idle Claude Daytona
session recovery across controller shutdown. Live abrupt SIGKILL during
local Claude startup also recovered the same run. Unknown ownership or
missing action evidence still blocks reuse. Cold custom provider-pack
uploads still add startup latency; this change avoids unnecessary repeat
uploads.

automation, and tool use. The exact hosted model ID and context window

DottaandPaperclip 0e14c61da7 fix: fence native startup against cancellation (#13316)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Users can pause a task while its runner prepares to start.
> - Cancellation must prevent preparation from creating new execution
authority.
> - Native runtime selection could run after cancellation and leave an
unclaimed recovery coordinator.
> - Saved user messages then waited for recovery that had no eligible
worker.
> - This pull request fences startup and lets explicit user continuation
settle verified, unclaimed startup state.
> - Tasks can continue after cleanup while keeping provider ownership
and execution safeguards.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13285 for startup controller leases and #13270 for explicit
continuation and saved-message recovery. Related #13293 covers retained
processes that actually started; this change covers cancellation before
the native provider claim. Related #13315 covers legacy queued-message
delivery.

**What happened?**

Pausing a task during startup could cancel its heartbeat before native
runtime selection. Stale preparation then created an observed native
coordinator on the cancelled run. The coordinator had no provider result
or eligible recovery worker. A later Continue message stayed queued
indefinitely.

**Expected behavior**

Cancellation fences native startup. After verified cleanup, a newer user
message starts one fresh conversation turn. An unverified execution
keeps its hold and a clear explanation.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a task with the native runner and delay startup preparation
before runtime selection.
2. Pause the task, then release preparation.
3. Resume the task and send Continue.
4. Before this fix, native selection can persist after cancellation and
block the saved message.
5. Repeat from persisted cancelled startup state after a server restart.

Reproduced against master at `586b5ec82` with isolated PostgreSQL
regression fixtures.

**Deployment mode**

Self-hosted server built from source, with Paperclip Runner.

## What Changed

- Serialize the cancellation fence and native runtime selection on the
run row. Revalidate the startup controller lease.
- Refresh the runtime before dispatching cancellation, and reject
terminal or cancelled runs at the native provider claim.
- Recognize never-claimed coordinators only after startup and
environment cleanup are verified. Reject process, provider, owner, and
conflicting launch evidence.
- Settle that coordinator atomically with a new authenticated user turn.
Preserve history, unknown outcomes, and attempt counts.
- Reuse the saved-message worker after restart and retain pause, budget,
approval, and ownership gates.
- Add startup, restart, duplicate-admission, and negative-proof
regressions. Document the rule.

## Verification

- All 687 tests pass across the complete heartbeat recovery, explicit
continuation, and native session executor suites on the rebased branch.
- Six focused race regressions also pass: cancellation before and after
native selection, Stop racing adapter registration, process termination
during a database failure, and a run finishing during cancellation.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass after rebasing on master at
`ab15aff39`.
- Greptile is 5/5 on `f3dea2ab27facdf0360b56172ebd3e5219e25538`, with no
open review threads. Policy and security checks pass.
- All 32 CI checks pass on the final head, including the full
server/workspace test matrix, all three browser shards, runner
verification, typechecks, build, and canary dry run. The two optional
Storybook jobs are skipped. [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34697945514).
- Local full-suite limitation: the broad `pnpm test:run` attempt
reported two failures outside the changed area after unusually long test
durations (about 65 seconds for supporting skill-file saves and 933
seconds for setup-token login). Both cases passed isolated reruns, with
no code changes. The broad local run was stopped after CI completed
successfully; no clean full local-suite pass is claimed.

## Risks

Cancellation and startup overlap. The run and coordinator locks provide
the authority fence; cleanup and process evidence provide the
containment proof. Historical runs without sufficient evidence remain
blocked. A saved user message authorizes a fresh turn, not automatic
replay. No schema migration or dependency change.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, using reasoning, repository inspection, code
execution, and tests. This session does not expose the exact backend
revision or context-window size.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

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

**Problem or motivation**

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

**Proposed solution**

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

**Roadmap alignment**

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

- Prior exact heads of all four PRs passed Linux CI, including build,
typecheck, general/serialized tests, and browser E2E. Each had Greptile
5/5 and no unresolved findings.
- Integrated local verification passed: full repository typecheck and
production build, Storybook build, token gates, 340 focused UI tests,
all 20 deterministic chat browser tests, two migration replay tests, 88
focused chat/queue/native/controller tests, and provider/session
regressions including real lease expiry. These include the three
lifecycle regressions for the final admission/teardown fixes; server
typecheck also passes. Current head
`1268eda16cc2af892055917e7292f068820be135` has Greptile 5/5 with no
unresolved findings and passing security scans. All final-head CI gates
passed: build, full Runner verification, typecheck/release registry,
canary, all general/serialized test shards, and all browser E2E shards
([CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34696739927)).
Local PostgreSQL startup contention required serialized retries; skipped
fixtures do not count as passing coverage.
- The earlier paid campaign passed all 24 chat cells and retained 32
screenshots:
[report](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-34648511170-1/index.html?report=agent-chat#suite-agent-chat).
It tested `abacbdfd2f660709ec37312cdb758284c8399d04`; it is prior
evidence, not a paid run of this integrated head.
- Manual check: enable Agent Chat in Experimental settings, open an
agent, clarify and revise a plan, then hand off to an assigned project
task. Stop a reply, send `/new`, and verify fresh context with retained
history. Disable the setting and verify agent shortcuts/new chat turns
are blocked.

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 250deab910 fix(runner): keep healthy native sessions alive (#13261)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native sessions keep a provider process and its work alive across
control-plane operations.
> - A hidden 15-minute turn deadline stopped work even when the agent
timeout was zero.
> - A one-hour runner lifetime and fixed connection lease added two more
limits.
> - Recovery also rejected goal commands because it reconstructed their
startup summary with the wrong protocol version.
> - This pull request removes implicit duration limits and renews
authenticated leases in the harness.
> - Healthy sessions can continue without model action or a user
interface change.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13092 and #12845. Related: #13163 covers sandbox recovery after
app restarts; this change covers session duration and lease renewal.

**What happened?**

A native Codex session stopped after 15 minutes while a tool was still
running. The agent had `timeoutSec: 0`. Recovery then rejected a
`session.goal.get` startup command with `invalid provider startup
ownership fence`.

**Expected behavior**

An unlimited session keeps working while its provider and authenticated
controller remain healthy. Lease maintenance is transparent. Explicit
timeouts, cancellation and revoked authority still take effect.

**Steps to reproduce**

Start a native session with `timeoutSec: 0` and run a tool beyond 15
minutes. Before this fix, the runtime cancels the turn. A recovery
startup that uses a goal command also exposes the protocol-version
mismatch.

## What Changed

- Honor the agent turn timeout. Zero disables the timer. Long explicit
durations use timer chunks to avoid Node timer overflow.
- Default native runner lifetime to unlimited. Keep bounded startup,
reconnect and control-operation deadlines.
- Renew leases over the authenticated connection. Persist renewal before
the reply. Validate identity, epoch and expiry. Handle duplicate
requests and a lost reply on reconnect.
- Freeze renewal during warm ownership transitions and terminal
handling.
- Validate persisted goal startup commands with protocol v2.
- Add duration, renewal, ownership, recovery and real-process regression
tests. Update runner protocol and recovery docs.
- Add no UI components or controls. Renewal requires no model output or
user action.

## Verification

Current head: `348e369c35c5da8bb8be378f4b35dcf6f40882e7`. [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34649767113).

- All 32 checks pass on this head. The two Storybook checks are skipped
as expected. CI includes full build, typecheck, runner verification,
browser suites, server tests and the canary package dry run.
- Greptile reports 5/5 on this head. All review threads are resolved,
and the security scan passes.
- Passed `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` locally.
- Passed 219 native-runtime and controller tests, including fake-clock
tests for three weeks of renewal and 30-day explicit timeouts. Six
denial tests confirm that renewal cannot extend expired, revoked or
mismatched authority.
- Passed 337 executor, cancellation and restart-recovery tests, plus 278
Rust runner-core library tests.
- Passed a real runner with a silent fake Codex provider across its
original lease expiry. Runner PID, provider PID, thread and active turn
stayed unchanged. Warm-attach recovery tests also pass.
- Passed all 83 plugin-worker tests and 159 of 161 workspace-runtime
tests locally. The two remaining assertions passed with a canonical
macOS temporary directory, as did the changed runtime fixture. The full
affected server shard passes in CI.
- An unchanged GitHub callback-ordering test failed once in CI, passed
locally in isolation, and passed its one test-shard retry. The final CI
summary is successful.
- The full local `pnpm test:run` sweep was interrupted after dependency
setup failures and load-related timeouts. Identified failing suites
passed in isolated reruns after the dependency repair. The complete test
matrix passed remotely in CI.

## Risks

- Deploy the controller and runner together to enable renewal. Older
peers keep their existing bounded lease behavior.
- Unlimited runtime permits long resource use until completion, explicit
cancellation, configured timeout or loss of valid authority.
- Lease renewal changes authenticated protocol handling. Regression
tests cover stale, revoked and mismatched authority, lost replies and
warm handoff behavior.
- Simulated multi-week tests and a real lease-boundary test do not
constitute a weeks-long production soak.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with repository inspection, code execution
and TypeScript/Rust test tools. The exact backend revision and
context-window size are not exposed in this session.

Nicky LeachandClaude Sonnet 5 c1b55537ba fix(paperclip-runner): bump claude-agent-acp pin to 0.73.0 (#13162)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The Claude local adapter can run agent turns through an ACP (Agent
Client Protocol) server, `claude-agent-acp`, instead of the plain CLI
> - Two separate packages each pin their own copy of that dependency:
`packages/adapters/claude-local` (the server-side adapter) and
`packages/paperclip-runner` (which builds the provider pack baked into
every managed sandbox image)
> - `claude-local` moved to `^0.73.0` in #12730, but `paperclip-runner`
was never bumped past `0.70.0` — nothing keeps the two in sync when only
one changes
> - That split means a sandbox image built from `paperclip-runner`'s
provider pack ships a `claude-agent-acp` the server-side adapter was
never actually compatible with
> - This pull request bumps `paperclip-runner`'s pin to `0.73.0`, the
only version that satisfies both packages' declared ranges at once, and
fixes the matching hardcoded version assertion in
`docker/daytona-runner/Dockerfile`
> - The benefit is one consistent, compatible `claude-agent-acp` version
across both the server host and every sandbox image built from this
source, instead of a silent split that only surfaces as a runtime
failure

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists for this specific split; opening directly per
CONTRIBUTING.md path B, following the bug report template fields.

**What happened?**
`packages/paperclip-runner/package.json` pins
`@agentclientprotocol/claude-agent-acp` at an exact `0.70.0`.
`packages/adapters/claude-local/package.json` requires `^0.73.0` (added
in #12730, 2026-09-02). Nobody re-synced `paperclip-runner`'s pin after
that change — the two packages' dependency graphs are independent, so a
bump in one doesn't propagate to the other. `paperclip-runner`'s copy is
what the fleet sandbox image's provider pack actually ships, so every
managed sandbox built from current source carries a `claude-agent-acp`
version the server-side adapter's own declared compatibility range
excludes.

**Expected behavior**
The two packages' `claude-agent-acp` pins should stay within a mutually
compatible range, so a sandbox image built from this source always ships
a version the server-side adapter actually supports.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Check `packages/adapters/claude-local/package.json`'s
`@agentclientprotocol/claude-agent-acp` range (`^0.73.0`).
2. Check `packages/paperclip-runner/package.json`'s pin for the same
package (`0.70.0` before this PR).
3. Note that `^0.73.0` on a `0.x` version only admits patch releases
(`>=0.73.0 <0.74.0` per semver caret rules), so `0.70.0` falls outside
it.

**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` as of this PR (paperclip-runner still at `0.70.0` prior to this
change; claude-local's `^0.73.0` requirement landed in #12730).

**Deployment mode**
Any deployment that runs `claude_local` agents through the ACP engine
against a sandbox image built from `packages/paperclip-runner`'s
provider pack (managed cloud sandboxes in particular).

Related PRs for context (not duplicates — none of these touch
`paperclip-runner`'s pin):
- #12730 — introduced the `^0.73.0` requirement in `claude-local`
- #11873 — the last time `paperclip-runner`'s pin moved (`0.69.0` →
`0.70.0`)
- #13105 — separately made an unavailable ACP engine a hard failure
instead of a silent CLI fallback, which is what turned this version
split into a visible, run-blocking error rather than a quiet downgrade

## What Changed

- Bump `@agentclientprotocol/claude-agent-acp` from `0.70.0` to `0.73.0`
(exact pin, matching this package's existing pin style for its other
agent-CLI dependencies) in `packages/paperclip-runner/package.json`.
- Update the corresponding hardcoded version assertion (`test
"$(claude-agent-acp --version)" = "0.70.0"`) in
`docker/daytona-runner/Dockerfile` to `0.73.0`, so its own build-time
check stays accurate instead of failing on the next build for an
unrelated reason.
- `pnpm-lock.yaml` is intentionally **not** included —
`pr-trusted.yml`'s `Validate dependency resolution and regenerate stale
lockfile` step already regenerates it for the merge tree and hands it to
downstream `--frozen-lockfile` jobs as an artifact, so a manual lockfile
commit here would just be stale the moment CI runs.

## Verification

- `0.73.0` is a real published version on npm (confirmed via `npm view
@agentclientprotocol/claude-agent-acp versions`), and it's the *only*
version satisfying claude-local's `^0.73.0` range, so this isn't a guess
at compatibility — it's the unique intersection of both packages'
declared ranges.
- `grep -rn "0\.70\.0" docker/ packages/paperclip-runner/package.json`
after this change shows no remaining stale references to the old pin.
- I did not run a full local install/test pass against a hand-updated
lockfile, since regenerating one locally would conflict with leaving
`pnpm-lock.yaml` untouched per the note above; CI's own
lockfile-regeneration step is the intended verification path for a
manifest-only dependency bump like this one.
- Downstream/full verification (does a sandbox image actually built with
this pin work end-to-end) is tracked separately in `paperclip-cloud` —
an unrelated internal-only repo, so not linked here — where a sibling
fix restores the ACP servers to the runtime `PATH` in the fleet sandbox
image itself; both fixes are needed together for a working sandbox, but
this PR is scoped to the version pin alone.

## Risks

- Low risk: single-line dependency version bump plus a matching
test-assertion update, no code changes. `0.73.0` is a patch release
within claude-local's own already-declared-safe range, so there's no
reason to expect it changes behavior tenants depend on.
- The main risk is unknown breaking changes between `claude-agent-acp`
0.70.0 and 0.73.0 that aren't caught by the version-string assertion
alone (that check only confirms the binary reports the right version,
not that its behavior is unchanged). I have not audited that package's
own changelog between those versions.
- `docker/daytona-runner/Dockerfile` is a parallel/reference image (per
its own header comment, meant to stay aligned with the private
`paperclip-cloud/fleet-sandbox-image/Dockerfile`, which is out of scope
here) — this PR does not touch that other Dockerfile.

## Model Used

Claude Sonnet 5 (`claude-sonnet-5`), via Claude Code, with tool use
(file edits, shell/git, `gh` CLI, `npm view` for version verification).
No extended-thinking mode. Standard Claude Code context window.

DottaandPaperclip 889947c238 feat: add experimental native chat connectors (#13038)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - People also ask agents for work in their existing chat tools.
> - Each external conversation needs one task and a current authorized
source.
> - Retries, Stop, and provider failures must not duplicate work or
expose private data.
> - The first chat PR establishes the opt-in provider and data
contracts.
> - This PR adds experimental channel integration and its durable
control plane.
> - Users can request work from connected channels and inspect delivery
in Paperclip.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13100 and #13092. This is the second of exactly two chat PRs.
Foundation #13100 is merged and changed 143 files. Runner prerequisite
#13092 is also merged. This PR changes 400 files against master, below
the 500-file review limit. It contains no wireframe images or HTML
galleries.

## What Changed

- Add native Slack, GitHub, Microsoft Teams, Telegram, and Discord chat
connections. Keep chat disabled unless the operator enables experimental
chat connectors. Preserve the production GitHub tool connection and its
normal setup path.
- Bind each provider bot identity to one immutable Paperclip agent. Bind
each admitted external conversation to one task. Paperclip owns tasks,
runs, permissions, and audit records.
- Add durable admission, per-conversation queues, questions, task
controls, progress, final replies, images, files, and delivery receipts.
Board comments remain internal unless explicitly sent to the channel.
- Check current identity, provider reach, resource access, credentials,
runtime generation, and exact source before provider effects. Keep
private responses private. Never send raw reasoning, private logs,
credentials, or tool arguments.
- Hold uncertain sends for explicit audited resolution. Make Board
Send-to-channel atomic and idempotent. Keep reconnect and setup
credentials in Paperclip secret storage.
- Preserve current native-runner authority across retries, lost
acknowledgements, and recovery. Keep immutable input and completion
contracts separate from newer user input. Receipt reconciliation cannot
launch a provider.
- Reconcile chat close/new ordering and provider-effect lock order.
Audit resource access changes in the same transaction. Submit only the
selected resource from each UI toggle so stale pages cannot undo
unrelated access changes.
- Drain Codex stdout before certifying process exit. Bound the drain
with the existing shutdown grace. Preserve observed terminal authority
without treating an undrained process as successful or reusable.
- Incorporate master `018ca5da` with its ACP Stop, mobile task layout,
runner packaging, and official lock changes. Preserve dedicated
chat-answer continuations in both directions when ordinary queued
comments are adopted after Stop.
- Fence late adapter readiness behind an earlier Stop for the same run.
Preserve verified cleanup for registered adapters. Handle single Stop,
agent pause, duplicate Stops, and failure release without creating a
false cancellation receipt.
- Incorporate master's `6dd48cad4` wake-queue extraction. Preserve exact
failed-chat retry authorization and lineage, retired question-source
suppression, and the block on generic recovery that would discard the
admitted source. Fresh deferred input retains its separate promotion
path.
- Incorporate master `2a05b5ed3` and its queue-admission extraction,
simplified transaction ports, and separate runner CI job. Preserve exact
durable receipts, actor separation, and dedicated-answer isolation
through the new module. A failed receipt insert rolls back the
accompanying deferred-wake merge.

## Verification

Current head: `afe19299d06253cb628eb398e91d1200ea9f412a`, incorporating
master `2a05b5ed3457ea33efd6895520447d1d97fe98d8`. The conflicts are
resolved. This successor fixes two test-harness boundaries exposed by
CI: per-case route-module preparation and actual durable-save completion
before intentional runner termination. Production code and all existing
test/turn deadlines are unchanged. [Exact-head Greptile
review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13038#issuecomment-5587250594)
is **5/5**, completed September 10 at 13:20:55 UTC, with no actionable
findings or open review threads. [Fresh exact-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34481724341)
passes **all 24 jobs**, including Build and both required aggregates.
Normal exact-head guarded merge was attempted and rejected by the
remaining branch approval policy: CODEOWNER review is required and no
human approval is present. Normal **squash auto-merge is enabled** as of
September 10 at 13:36:26 UTC. Requested CODEOWNERS have been notified;
no approval bypass or self-approval was used. Earlier-head results below
remain historical evidence, not qualification of this successor.

- Final exact-head Linux evidence: 995/995 chat integration cases; 36/36
agent-skills routes; 35/35 runner live-session cases, including real
process kill/resume; 1948 runner Vitest cases with three existing
benchmark/platform guards; 870/870 API-authority cases; and 104 browser
cases with four existing optional skips. Rust, conformance/replay, full
repository build, typecheck, canary, all server/workspace shards, and
both required aggregates pass with normal CI concurrency. Earlier failed
attempts remain recorded below.

- Latest test-only qualification: 141/141
route/permissions/authentication cases pass in separate cold forks, with
plain server types and independent review clear. The real-runner suite
passes 35/35, with plain runner types and independent review clear. A
controlled premature-save acknowledgement fails as expected; matching
ownership/effect/process evidence, rejected saves, real turn outcome,
test abort, and pre-kill liveness are covered. No local reproduction of
the original CI scheduling failure is claimed. The preceding [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34479680858)
passes 21/24 jobs, including all 995 Linux chat cases and browser
aggregate (104 passed, four existing optional skips); only Build, the
skills serialized shard, and the required verification aggregate fail.
Its exact-head Greptile review was 5/5. Both failed job logs are
retained.

- Final fixture qualification: all eight focused Discord cases and all
995 chat integration cases pass. The exact modal statement/PID is
observed before taking the real connection lock; the test then proves
its actual blocking relationship before mutation. Original SQL
execution, provider behavior, negative assertions, and 1s/15s timeouts
remain unchanged. Independent review is clear and test/production hashes
remain frozen. The preceding [CI
attempt](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34477184777)
passed 22 jobs, including Build/runner, typecheck, canary, all other
test shards, and browser aggregate (104 passed, four existing optional
skips); the two fixture failures and failed verification aggregate
remain recorded, not relabeled as a pass.

- Current queue-module composition: 308/308 recovery/batching/queue/Stop
tests; 995/995 full chat integration; 89/89 module tests, including real
PostgreSQL receipt-insert rollback; 24/24 workflow/module-boundary
tests; plain server and UI types. All four actual local process/ACP
browser paths pass in 1.4 minutes. Fresh databases, no skips or retries,
stable reviewed source hashes. The initial boundary failure is retained;
its no-op service wrapper was removed without changing recovery context
or weakening the check. An exploratory standalone test-directory
typecheck fails because its new upstream transformation config is not a
standalone typechecking project; standard CI/build does not invoke it,
and no configuration was weakened to suppress those diagnostics.

- The preceding head `e02a63d462ce5d47433b0aeb632bb6fd20aab1ba` passed
[all 24 CI
jobs](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34436462958)
and exact-head Greptile review at 5/5. Required CODEOWNER review
prevented its normal merge before master advanced again.

- Final extracted-module composition: 307/307 recovery, batching, queue
and Stop-control tests; 995/995 full chat integration; 49/49 module
tests including eight PostgreSQL adapter cases; and 19/19 issue-update
tests. Plain server types pass. All four actual local process/ACP
browser paths pass in 1.3 minutes. Fresh databases, no skips or retries
in these cohorts, frozen source hashes, and independent review clear.

- The preceding head `3e4e1c1c` passes [all PR CI
jobs](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34415826820),
including Build and required `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e`. Both the
original Rust failure and the previously load-sensitive lineage fixture
pass with unchanged Linux concurrency. Master advanced afterward and
required this reconciliation.
- Final master composition: 448/448 focused UI tests, 186/186 adapter
tests, 24/24 queue/control tests, and 11/11 packaging tests. Plain UI,
server, shared, and adapter types pass. Token gates and diff checks
pass. Independent server and UI reviews are clear.
- Stop-registration regression: both real-service cases fail against
exact `a95` source and pass with the fix. The full corrected
recovery/control suite passes 265/265. Duplicate-owner and failed-Stop
controls also pass. Plain server types pass. The readiness barrier
prevents provider startup without adding an acknowledgment to an already
terminal run.
- Final qualification strengthens terminal-field equality and repeats
both affected cases successfully on a fresh database. All four actual
local process/ACP browser paths pass again in 1.3 minutes, without skips
or retries. The final screenshot shows Cancelled, a paused subtree,
retained input, and no error toast.
- Two new actual-service regressions fail before the merge fix. They
prove that queued-comment adoption could consume a dedicated chat answer
or add unrelated input to that answer. The fixed four-case cohort
passes, including ordinary upstream continuation and adapter Stop
controls. Full recovery passes 257/257. All four actual local
process/ACP Stop browser flows pass in 1.4 minutes, without skips or
retries, on a fresh database.
- The unchanged runner artifact was qualified with 171/171 transport
tests, 870/870 API-authority tests, conformance 1/1, and replay 11/11.
Six controlled reader tests prove the exit/drain repair. Its local
serial Rust workspace passed 546 top-level cases plus two invoked
helpers; the later passing Linux CI supplies default-concurrency
evidence.
- Prior exact-source full chat integration passes 995/995. Settings
regressions cover concurrent stale pages, 501 destinations, pending
state, rejected updates, and explicit retry. These deterministic tests
do not prove live provider behavior.
- Retained failed attempts and their causes are in the [qualification
log](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/afe19299d06253cb628eb398e91d1200ea9f412a/doc/plans/chat-adapters/2026-09-08-chat-queue-and-webhook-repair.md).
The first merge adapter run timed out while macOS slept for 290 seconds.
Its unchanged repeat passed with a temporary sleep guard. No assertion,
deadline, or CI gate was weakened.

Review commands include `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest
run src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts
src/__tests__/issue-queued-comments-routes.test.ts` and `pnpm exec
playwright test --config tests/e2e/playwright.config.ts
tests/e2e/acp-stop-continuation.spec.ts`. Database suites require fresh
disposable databases. See the [browser
runbook](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/afe19299d06253cb628eb398e91d1200ea9f412a/doc/plans/chat-adapters/2026-09-04-chat-adapters-browser-e2e-runbook.md)
for provider setup and separate live acceptance steps.

## Risks

- This remains experimental. Deterministic tests and bounded live
evidence do not establish every provider feature, tenant, permission
layout, or media shape. Teams work-tenant qualification is still open.
- Failed and uncertain provider effects remain visible and can require
operator action. A transport receipt does not prove recipient
visibility.
- Native controller and runner artifacts must remain compatible.
Preserve lease ownership, terminal authority, source binding, and
quarantine during future changes.
- Access and audit rows commit together, but activity notifications
remain best-effort. This is not a new durable event outbox.
- The PR operation does not deploy a live server, replace its runner, or
change provider permissions. Remaining live qualification is documented
in the [temporary
handoff](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/afe19299d06253cb628eb398e91d1200ea9f412a/doc/plans/chat-adapters/2026-09-08-open-qualification-followups.md).

DottaandPaperclip 2991a59b17 fix(adapters): prevent engine fallback and preserve usable runtime defaults (#13105)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents that must write work and report task
outcomes through its API.
> - Local adapters select an execution engine and its permission
settings.
> - A higher ACP Node requirement can make an unchanged installation
lose access to its default engine.
> - The adapter then silently selects CLI, which can change permissions
and block API access.
> - This pull request keeps the engine choice fixed and reports missing
prerequisites before work starts.
> - It also gives explicit Codex CLI runs usable defaults and keeps
managed services on a supported Node runtime.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #12215. Related changes: #11792 raised the Node requirement; #13094
addressed separate runner networking behavior. This change fixes the
engine-selection and managed-launcher paths.

**What happened?**

An unchanged agent could switch from ACP to CLI after an upgrade. Codex
CLI then used read-only permissions with networking disabled. The run
could finish without updating its task. Repeated recovery attempts used
the same unavailable setup. Managed updates also skipped the Node check
and did not refresh old launchers.

**Expected behavior**

An unavailable engine must fail with a clear setup error. It must not
silently select another engine. Explicit CLI runs must be able to write
workspace files and call the API unless the operator configures stricter
settings. Managed updates must validate Node and keep child tools on
that runtime.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run an ACP-default agent under Node 22 after the ACP minimum rises to
24.11.
2. Leave the engine unset and disable the approval/sandbox bypass.
3. Observe the old adapter select CLI and fail to write task disposition
through the API.
4. Start a managed service with an old launcher and a supervisor PATH
that selects a different Node for child tools.

## What Changed

- Remove automatic engine fallback for Codex, Claude, Gemini, and Kimi.
Check prerequisites for default and explicit ACP selections.
- Return a configuration error with proof that provider work did not
start. Stop automatic continuation retries for this error.
- Enable Codex ACP workspace networking at the actual turn boundary.
Upstream mode presets otherwise force it off even when config.toml
enables it. Preserve explicit network denial and read-only mode.
- Set workspace-write and network access defaults for explicit Codex CLI
runs. Preserve explicit sandbox modes, profiles, and network
restrictions.
- Pin the validated Node directory in managed launcher PATH. Refresh
legacy launchers during installs and npm/Git updates.
- Reject updates on unsupported Node. Keep update checks, dry runs, and
rollback available.
- Synchronize the qualified Codex ACP executable identity across server,
TypeScript runner, Rust runner, and provider-pack launch paths.
- Add regression tests and update engine and installation documentation.

## Verification

- [Full CI passed on the final
head](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34387099695):
typecheck, build/native runner verification, all general and serialized
test shards, all browser shards, release registry, canary dry run, and
policy checks.
- Greptile: 5/5 on `2c1d6e2815830a5cd39e36c8a082cc0c4441b6c0`, with no
unresolved review findings. Security gates are green.
- Full workspace typecheck and build also passed locally. The final
deployed Linux build passed.
- Full Codex, Claude, Gemini, and Kimi source test suites: 804 passed, 2
skipped. Installer, updater, and launcher tests: 47 passed. Installed
ACP turn-boundary tests: 3 passed. ACP packaging tests: 14 passed.
Focused recovery classification tests also passed.
- Real Linux Codex CLI runs, both fresh and resumed, wrote a workspace
file and reached the control-plane health API with the new defaults.
- Explicit read-only and network-disabled control probes retained those
restrictions.
- A real ACP run on the final deployed Linux build wrote a file and
reached the control-plane API with HTTP 200, without engine fallback.
The same probe failed DNS before the turn-policy patch.
- Executable-identity and installed-policy contracts: 12 passed.
Affected native server tests: 197 passed. Runner factory tests: 21
passed. Rust qualification and native provider integration tests: 11
passed.
- Deployed the production changes to a Linux service on Node 24.20 after
a verified database backup. Health, bootstrap readiness, static UI,
executable/cwd identity, and guarded restart checks passed. The restart
lost no runs.
- Corrected stale Kimi skill-default and Gemini remote-archive fixtures;
both suites pass.

## Risks

- Default or legacy auto engine settings now fail when ACP is
unavailable. Operators who intend to use CLI must select it explicitly.
- Codex CLI now permits workspace writes and networking by default, and
ACP workspace-write turns permit networking by default. Explicit
operator sandbox settings remain authoritative.
- Old managed launchers keep their pinned Node until they are
reinstalled under a supported runtime. An old updater cannot repair
itself; the documentation gives the current installer command.
- Custom service wrappers and global/source installations must configure
their runtime PATH. No database migration is required.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, repository inspection,
shell execution, and test tools. The exact serving model identifier and
context-window size are not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 82f662656a fix(runner): restore legacy Git access and independent networking (#13094)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip runs agents for people with different GitHub accounts.
> - Managed operations must use the intended person's eligible
connection.
> - A failed duplicate connection must not hide a healthy grant for the
same account.
> - Legacy hosts also need their existing Git configuration when managed
access is not configured.
> - Runner networking and local Git operations must not depend on GitHub
broker availability.
> - This pull request separates those policies and improves failure
diagnostics.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?** New runs always cleared host Git credentials and
installed managed launchers. Network permission depended on GitHub
environment variables. A launcher failure could stop even local `git
status`. A newer unhealthy duplicate could take precedence over a
healthy connection, and generic health errors were shown as reconnect
requirements.

**Expected behavior:** Use a healthy eligible managed connection for the
intended account. Preserve host authentication only for unconfigured
standard-trust local or SSH execution. Permit local Git during broker
failures and keep network permission independent of GitHub credentials.

**Steps to reproduce:** Configure healthy and unhealthy grants for one
GitHub account, dispatch an agent, and execute Git commands. Separately
run an unconfigured legacy host with existing GitHub CLI authentication.
Stop the broker and run local `git status`.

**Paperclip version or commit:** Master at 668110469. **Deployment
mode:** Self-hosted. **Installation method:** Git checkout. **Agent
adapters involved:** Native Codex runner and shared adapter execution
setup. **Database mode:** Existing instance database; no migration.
**Access context:** Responsible person's managed grant, or explicitly
unconfigured legacy host. **Node.js version:** 26.4.0 locally.
**Operating system:** macOS development and Linux execution hosts.

**Relevant logs or output:** Previously `GitHub credential context
unavailable` hid configuration, transport, and capability errors. New
diagnostics identify these categories without credential values.

**Additional context:** Refs #13005 and #13022. Dependency provisioning
is addressed separately in #13093.

## What Changed

- Prefer healthy eligible grants and retry credential acquisition once
for the same principal and account before starting an operation.
- Preserve host Git configuration only when managed access is
unconfigured on a standard-trust local or SSH target.
- Project authentication mode and validated Git metadata into native
runner boundaries; refresh resumed provider settings when modes change.
- Enable network access through an explicit standard-trust controller
decision, independently of GitHub. Omitted or restricted decisions stay
disabled; replace warm providers when that decision changes.
- Run local Git with cleared credentials when the managed broker fails,
with specific redacted diagnostics.
- Retry access-refresh conflicts once without treating concurrency as
expired authorization.
- Show retry instead of reconnect for transient GitHub health failures.
Add optional authorization and run-diagnostic fields without a database
migration.

## Verification

- All latest-head CI gates are green, including typecheck, general and
serialized suites, browser tests, canary, native runner verification,
and build. Greptile is 5/5 with no remaining findings; the security scan
passed.
- Full recursive typecheck and build passed. UI token gates passed.
- Full general server run: 7,110 passed, one transient socket hangup;
that file passed on retry. All remaining workspace groups passed,
including 5,552 UI and 478 CLI tests. The complete serialized rerun
passed all 144 suites / 2,179 tests after the initial isolated timeout
passed on retry.
- 195 final launcher and native session tests passed, including
host/managed transitions, local/remote warm network-policy changes,
broker rotation, and attempts to override validated controller
filesystem roots.
- GitHub gateway fallback, duplicate connection selection, refresh
conflicts, per-user reauthorization, and native transport/security
suites passed.
- Additional live native fixtures passed SSH public-key authentication
and a Git credential helper in fresh and resumed host-mode sessions. An
unwritable managed configuration directory preserved local Git (exit 0)
while GitHub CLI failed with `configuration_directory_unavailable` (exit
4). The temporary SSH listener and keys were removed.
- Applicable Rust suites passed except two timing failures under load;
each failed case passed in isolation. The final environment contract
test passed.
- Linux native runner acceptance passed in both managed and legacy host
modes: DNS, HTTPS, npm package download, fresh-worktree Git status,
authenticated GitHub user lookup, repository read, and a new run
continuing the same provider conversation. Managed broker outage
preserved local Git and rejected authenticated access without host
fallback.
- Matching Linux server/runner artifacts and the separate provisioning
repair are deployed to the development instance. A fresh UI-dispatched
task and a new run after a server restart both passed all six shell
checks through the live controller and credential broker. Both runs
selected the expected healthy connection/grant and retained the same
provider conversation. Neither connection was repaired or reconnected.

The sandbox roots are assigned from the validated execution-target probe
**after** ordinary bindings are merged. Regression coverage supplies
forged roots and verifies they cannot override the controller paths.
Networking is enabled only for an explicit
`PAPERCLIP_RUNNER_NETWORK_ACCESS=enabled` controller decision; omitted
values remain disabled.

## Risks

Unconfigured standard-trust local and SSH runs regain access to host Git
authentication resources. Managed, sandbox, plugin, and low-trust runs
do not gain this fallback. Revoked managed access never falls back to
another account. Deploy server and runner artifacts together;
already-started operations retain their captured identity. An
unauthenticated command can still fail when it requires GitHub access.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with code editing, shell execution, tests,
and browser inspection. The exact model variant and context-window size
are not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 2043e0c735 fix: repair runner configuration, macOS execution, and artifact galleries (#13062)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent adapters select a provider, a model, and a runtime.
> - Runner conversion rejected existing Claude agents. The model list
mixed providers.
> - The native Claude runner rejected custom models and could not launch
on macOS.
> - This pull request fixes conversion, model selection, and verified
macOS execution.
> - It also groups configuration fields consistently across adapters and
opens artifact images in the task gallery.
> - Operators can change an agent configuration and run the selected
model on their Mac.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Converting an existing Claude agent to Paperclip Runner failed with a
Codex-only restriction. ACPX Claude showed unrelated models and required
`claude-sonnet-5`. Its native runtime rejected macOS. Configuration
mixed common model settings with process controls. Artifact cards
labeled “Open gallery” navigated to attachment URLs instead of opening
the task gallery.

**Expected behavior**

Conversion keeps agent identity and compatible settings. ACPX Claude
uses the normal Claude catalog and accepts typed model IDs. Codex uses
the native runner. The verified Claude runtime can launch on macOS ARM64
and x64. Common configuration sections place the same fields together
across adapters. Artifact images open in the shared task gallery with
navigation and downloads.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Open the configuration of an existing Claude agent.
2. Convert it to Paperclip Runner.
3. Select ACPX Claude and a different catalog model or a typed model ID.
4. Save the agent and run a disposable task on macOS.
5. Inspect configuration and advanced run-policy controls across
adapters.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The bugs were reproduced on `165ca56a22adb60e5fda56045442d9c8498116a8`.
This branch was rebased onto `7ed122911`.

**Deployment mode**

Built from source. Local test-drive instance on macOS ARM64 with an
isolated database.

Related work: #11798 addresses unsupported ACP session options in the
existing adapter path. #13048 addresses working-folder preservation.
This change fixes native runner configuration and launch behavior.

## What Changed

- Remove the Codex-only conversion restriction. Preserve agent identity,
instructions, directories, credentials, and compatible model settings.
Reset incompatible sessions while retaining history.
- Show ACPX Claude and native Codex as distinct provider choices. Remove
ACPX Codex from advertised configuration. Normalize legacy
configurations before fresh runs without rewriting historical run
descriptors.
- Select model catalogs and cache entries by provider. Support refresh
and typed model IDs. Pass exact Claude IDs through session creation,
model changes, and recovery.
- Add verified macOS ARM64 and x64 Claude SDK snapshots. Bound
executable allocation and total snapshot size. Preserve package checks,
dependency isolation, process ownership, cancellation, and Linux
descriptor loading.
- Probe local runtime readiness. Report remote platform checks as
incomplete until the remote runner verifies its runtime.
- Surface actual model rejection and allow correction and retry.
- Repair missing ACPX goal-capability helpers exposed by the post-rebase
live test. Persist and restore the optional capability without breaking
session startup.
- Put Agent identity first and intentionally remove the Capabilities
editor, as requested. This is removal of UI editing, not relocation:
preserve existing capability metadata and API compatibility without
adding another editor. Use the themed select for configurable permission
modes, with normal text instead of monospace.
- Put model and provider under Adapter. Give environment variables their
own section. Fold command and arguments under Configuration. Fold
lifecycle, timeout, and interrupt grace under Advanced Run Policy. Hide
single-option permission controls.

- Open image and video artifact cards in the existing task gallery,
including cards in the artifacts panel. Chat attachment images use the
same gallery. Preserve standalone media previews and download links.

## Verification

- Rebased focused UI/API/database suites: 293 tests passed.
- Rebased native runtime and ACPX suites: 242 passed, 7 skipped.
- Repository typecheck, build, and token gates passed for the runner
changes. Gallery follow-up UI typecheck, build, and token gates also
passed.
- Follow-up UI suites passed (86 tests), packaging checks passed (14
tests), and the final focused runtime suites passed (126 passed, 7
skipped).
- Linux container isolation and lifecycle fixtures passed before rebase
(57 passed, 2 skipped). Rust ACPX provider-session tests passed after
rebase (8 tests).
- Browser tests completed actual Claude and native Codex tasks on macOS
ARM64. They covered conversion, catalog refresh, a non-default catalog
model, a typed `haiku` ID, save/reload, cancel, follow-up session
continuity, invalid-model errors, and recovery.
- Final-revision live tests completed a typed Claude task, a follow-up
with the same provider session, and a native Codex task on macOS ARM64.
- Browser tests confirmed the moved interrupt-grace field saves and
survives reload. Cross-adapter tests cover Claude, Codex, Gemini,
process, gateway, and schema forms.
- Full local run: 7,080 passed, 30 skipped, and two timeouts. Both
timeout suites passed on isolated rerun (84 tests); the failures were
the plugin login-worker exit diagnostic and the runner real-server
vertical slice.
- Final follow-up checks: 50 registry tests and 45 snapshot/installation
tests passed (6 platform-specific skips). Oversized executable rejection
is covered before allocation or reading; unsupported-platform tests
invoke the real installation probe.
- Runner head `ddb5101c483a297f74875ab96b3c66035b002d50`: all CI gates
green, including full runner verification, repository build, typecheck,
general/serialized server suites, browser tests, and canary dry run. [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34286178670).
- Greptile: 5/5 on that runner head. All four review threads resolved.
Superagent, Socket, and Snyk checks green.
- After snapshot hardening, another real Claude task completed on this
Mac using the rebuilt runtime.

- Gallery follow-up: 148 focused tests passed, covering artifact
selection, shared attachment collections, deduplication, image/video
cards, standalone previews, downloads, and closing. Live browser
verification completed on the settings follow-up: artifact selection,
6-image pagination with wrapping, download action, and closing all
stayed on the same task URL. All checks passed on gallery head
`96136da58ff195bf6ca00b281eb3022ad12d7bd8`: [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34287987536).
Greptile returned 5/5 on that exact head with no unresolved threads.

- Final settings polish: 96 focused tests, UI typecheck/build, and token
gates passed. A real browser walkthrough verified readable permission
options, identity placement, Capabilities removal, and permission
save/reload. Original test-agent permission mode restored. All 31 checks
passed on final head `e46540d6bf32bfb0566dca16b2f4a75ba437618c`: [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34292797886).
Greptile returned 5/5 with no unresolved threads.

## Risks

- Capabilities intentionally has no editable UI field after this change.
Existing values remain readable and API-compatible; removing the field
does not erase stored metadata.

- macOS launch now copies verified package files into private snapshots.
The implementation must retain isolation and clean up snapshots on exit.
- Runtime provider or model changes reset the current session.
Historical runs remain available.
- The macOS x64 SDK executable digest was verified, but a live Intel Mac
run was not available. Linux verification used container fixtures, not a
real Claude task.
- Remote environment tests report a warning when only the platform has
been checked. They do not claim package readiness from the server host.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6. The exact served model identifier and
context-window limit are not exposed in this session. Used reasoning,
repository inspection, code execution, Rust and TypeScript tests, and
browser automation.

DottaandPaperclip e095b84dab feat(connections): connect services from native task feeds (#13058)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents use connections to reach external services.
> - A fresh native task can have no service tools installed.
> - The agent needs a way to discover services and ask the responsible
person for access.
> - This pull request brings the existing connection-intent flow into
native task execution.
> - The person can connect from the task, and the agent can continue
with updated tools.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Native runner tool authority, connection intents, task interactions, and
shared connection setup.

**Problem or motivation**

A task that needs an unconnected service cannot finish its work. Leaving
the task to configure access also loses context. A resolved request must
survive a restart and resume the correct agent once.

**Proposed solution**

Expose connection discovery and access requests as server-owned native
tools. Render a durable task card and use the shared setup dialog.
Persist outcome delivery and start a fresh provider session after access
is ready.

**Alternatives considered**

Sending the person to the Connections page adds navigation and does not
solve continuation. Polling for authorization consumes runs and can
create duplicate requests.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends the existing connection-intent runtime and setup
experience. It reuses the shared access model and the native runner.

Related: #12345, #12347. The service-slug fix in #12906 is related but
separate. Companion evaluation PR:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-evals/pull/21.

## What Changed

- Expose `connections_search` and `connection_request` with server-bound
company, task, agent, and responsible user. Preserve the legacy entry
points.
- Discover catalog services and authorized custom connections. Check
installation, identity, health, and executable permissions before
reporting ready.
- Keep pending cards through ordinary messages. Reuse requests and
retire stale ownership. Put Connect at the right of Not now.
- Reuse the shared setup flow in a task dialog. Keep access additive and
default to the requesting agent. Recover from cancelled or blocked OAuth
windows with a new-tab fallback.
- Persist outcome delivery with an idempotent wake key. Resume in a
fresh session and recheck ownership before dispatch.
- Add native browser fixtures, offline Storybook states, server
contracts, and evaluation fixtures. Update guidance and documentation.

## Verification

- `pnpm build`: passed after replaying the change on current master.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates`: passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build-storybook`: passed.
- New continuation-policy regression cases: 16 passed.
- Docker-backed PostgreSQL regressions passed for requester-only OAuth
access, assignment-only expiry, terminal expiry, and credential-free
setup metadata.
- Shared setup and task-card UI tests: 121 passed, including configured
MCP reconnect URL recovery and preserving user edits across refetch.
- Storybook browser checks: all 119 passed on the latest reconnect fix.
- `pnpm test:run`: 4,734 tests passed in the first server group, but
embedded PostgreSQL startup failures and resulting cleanup errors
prevented a complete local pass. All Linux CI lanes passed on the latest
reviewed commit. One external-object route test returned an unexplained
500 on the first run; it passed twice locally and the failed shard
passed on retry without code changes.
- Earlier feature-checkout evidence: three deterministic native browser
journeys passed, including restart delivery and an actual fixture tool
result. Legacy scripted coverage also passed. All 59 added stories were
inspected in light and dark themes.
- Live Notion testing recorded successful provider reads. The manual
test used a local-trusted instance. It does not prove
authenticated/cloud deployment or every provider journey.
- Native browser rerun reached the embedded PostgreSQL startup limit
before bootstrap, so the latest checkout’s full native browser journey
remains unverified. Both OAuth page/task regression cases passed against
isolated Docker-backed PostgreSQL 17. They verify no premature task
access, requester-only completion, additive retries, and reconnect
preservation.
- Applied both new migrations twice to isolated PostgreSQL 17. Foreign
keys remained intact, duplicate active delivery keys were rejected, and
failed delivery records did not block retries.

Reviewer path: start a fresh test drive, enable the native runner, use
an agent that can perform work directly, and ask it to summarize a
Notion page. Connect from the card, then verify the resumed provider
call and source-linked answer. The default test-drive CEO is instructed
to delegate, so it can introduce an unrelated hiring step.

## Risks

- Two additive migrations create durable deliveries and a partial unique
wake index. They are idempotent. The wake index can require a
maintenance window on large tables because migrations run in a
transaction.
- OAuth and continuation cross asynchronous boundaries. Tests cover
ownership changes, retries, additive access, and restart delivery; live
provider behavior still varies.
- The latest requester-scope fix has not yet been exercised through live
OAuth. GitHub, API-key, authenticated-user, and all recovery journeys
are not claimed as verified.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6-based Codex assisted with implementation, tests, and review
using tools and code execution. The runtime does not expose the exact
model version, context window, or reasoning setting. Live evaluation
used `gpt-5.6-luna`; manual native testing used `gpt-5.6-sol`.

DottaandPaperclip 1cc45086d3 feat: use the responsible person's GitHub for shared agent operations (#13005)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Several people can send instructions to the same agent and task.
> - A fixed GitHub token in the provider process can keep the first
person's access after another person's message is accepted.
> - Task ownership cannot select credentials for each accepted
instruction or preserve the identity of an operation already in
progress.
> - This pull request records ordered execution identity contexts and
resolves credentials when managed Git, gh, or GitHub tools start.
> - The benefit is automatic personal GitHub access for shared agents,
with durable continuation rules and no teammate credential fallback.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting: orchestration, connection grants, database, runtime
adapters, native runners, and run details.

**Problem or motivation**

A shared agent must use the person whose instructions it has accepted. A
queued message must retain its author. A retry or approval without new
instructions must retain the originating identity. GitHub must remain
optional for ordinary work.

**Proposed solution**

Persist execution identity separately from task ownership. Give new
processes a run-scoped broker capability and token-free managed
launchers. Capture identity at operation start. Keep an explicit
dedicated-agent grant as an override. Show redacted diagnostics in run
details.

**Alternatives considered**

Per-task ownership, fixed provider tokens, and mutable repository author
configuration do not handle accepted steering or concurrent operations.
A manual account-selection action would add unnecessary setup to each
turn.

**Roadmap alignment**

This completes the existing Multiple Human Users, MCP Tool Gateway &
Apps, Secrets Manager, and Self-healing Runs capabilities. The
implementation follows the maintainer-approved plan.

Related work: Refs #12843, Refs #12907. Existing proposals #4618 and
#8945 cover per-agent or per-worktree author configuration. This change
instead follows the accepted human instruction across runtime types.
Refs #11831 for governed personal connection delegation; this change
preserves connection audience checks and does not use standing
delegation as a personal credential fallback.

## What Changed

- Add durable, ordered identity contexts and active run references.
Preserve message authors through consolidation, steering, retries,
delegation, approvals, routines, and restart.
- Add an authenticated operation-time GitHub credential broker and
local/remote managed git and gh launchers. Keep personal tokens out of
the long-lived provider process.
- Resolve GitHub gateway and server-side Git operations through the same
responsible-person or dedicated-grant selection rules.
- Make absent and unavailable GitHub credentials non-blocking at generic
startup. Clear host and prior-person credentials. Keep anonymous Git
access where supported.
- Add run-detail identity history and the dedicated-account warning.
Keep task ownership and queue-versus-steer decisions unchanged.
- Preserve personal OAuth declarations through connection edits. Retain
exact selected grants in the gateway.
- Fix continuation races found during real acceptance: verify a warm
owner before credential rotation, and wait for bounded durable runner
suspension before the next run starts.
- Make migrations replay-safe. Retain identity through agent/run
deletion, remove it with its company, and clean terminal launcher
directories before releasing execution environments. Document
coordinated release and rollback.

## Verification

- Full workspace typecheck, build, and token gates passed. The complete
local suite passed in its normal test groups: 17,120 passing tests,
including all 143 serialized server suites. After integrating the newly
merged runner API work, full local typecheck and build passed again,
along with 890 focused integration tests. All 31 checks on the
integrated revision passed, including build, browser E2E, release
registry, canary dry run, typecheck, security and all test suites.
Greptile is 5/5 with all review threads resolved.
- Current focused checks passed: 142 native executor tests, 67 runtime
lifecycle tests, 9 durable identity tests, 75 credential/routine tests,
19 low-trust/resumption tests, and the executable migration replay test.
- Authenticated browser acceptance with two Paperclip users and two
GitHub accounts on one shared native agent passed. Real commits and
pushes followed A → B accepted steering → queued A continuation in the
same saved conversation. GitHub commit author and committer identities
matched all three operations. Both runs succeeded and task ownership
stayed unchanged.
- Real GitHub MCP calls switched from A to B after accepted steering. A
delegated subtask retained its originating identity across a server
restart.
- Disabling B's GitHub connection left ordinary work successful. Managed
gh was unauthenticated and the provider had no inherited GH_TOKEN or
GITHUB_TOKEN.
- The browser displayed run-detail diagnostics and the exact
dedicated-account warning. A final controller-restart check followed by
another-person continuation retained the conversation, selected the
correct GitHub login and Git author, and removed each terminal launcher
directory.
- Company-lifetime migration and all five previously failing CI suites
passed locally (167 tests). Same-token gateway A → B → A and six
broker/launcher boundary tests passed.
- Remote callback, launcher, sandbox, and runtime contract tests passed.
Both native and legacy Codex completed actual Daytona executions on the
integrated revision ([campaign
results](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34155056509)).
The remote package-manager shim staging regression also passed locally.

## Risks

- Deploy the migrations, server broker, launchers, and runner artifacts
together. Existing processes finish with their original contract. New
managed processes need the broker endpoint for GitHub operations.
- Finish or stop new managed executions before rolling application code
back. Keep the additive schema and identity history during rollback.
- Scripts that require a persistent raw GH_TOKEN must use managed git,
gh, or GitHub gateway tools. Run capabilities authorize code executing
within that run to acquire its current identity; this is not
hostile-code isolation within one execution principal. Managed commands
prevent automatic credential carryover; arbitrary code deliberately
copying a credential is outside that boundary.
- Uncertain steering acknowledgement deliberately holds new credential
acquisition until reconciliation. Already-started operations retain
their captured identity.
- GitHub private access and provider outages can still fail the specific
operation that needs them. Dedicated grant failure does not fall back to
personal access.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex assisted implementation, review, shell
execution, and browser acceptance. The exact model variant and
context-window size are not exposed in this session. Tool use included
TypeScript and Rust tests, database integration tests, GitHub CLI, and
authenticated browser control.

DottaandPaperclip f6a211479f fix: share current CLI runtimes across sandbox adapters (#12994)
## Thinking Path

- Paperclip Runner needs its runtime preinstalled for fast sandbox
startup.
- Native and local adapters should launch one current CLI installation
per provider.
- An older global copy can shadow that installation, and exact native
compatibility pins must match it.
- Update the qualified releases and binary digests, expose shared CLI
entrypoints from the provider pack, and prefer the image-owned bin
directory.
- Keep dependency installation in the image build; task startup only
discovers, links, and verifies artifacts.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
Remote native startup rejected a stale global Codex, while CLI-only
images lacked runnerd entirely.

**Expected behavior**
An image-baked runtime starts without uploading binaries or installing
packages. All adapters share the same current provider CLI.

**Steps to reproduce**
Start a native remote task with the old global Codex and the updated
runtime available only under `/opt/paperclip-runner/bin`.

**Paperclip version or commit**
Discovery behavior at `54a99d884`.

**Deployment mode**
Docker with a remote sandbox.

## What Changed

- Prefer `/opt/paperclip-runner/bin`, then the user's local bin
directory, then PATH. Existing metadata and version validation remains
in force.
- Qualify Codex 0.153.4, OpenCode 1.18.29, and Claude SDK 0.3.263 / CLI
2.1.263. Update binary digests, TypeScript/Rust checks, registry
defaults, and the displayed OpenCode version together.
- Share Codex and Claude's native executable with the ACP bridges
through exact dependency overrides. Preserve the separately qualified
ACP bridge implementations and their security patches.
- Expose shared provider-pack CLI launchers; fail the pack build if
Codex ACP resolves a separate Codex installation. Update the eval
image's other agent CLIs to current stable releases and remove duplicate
global provider installs.
- Document the single-current-CLI policy in source comments and
development guidance. Latest stable releases are resolved at
review/build preparation and pinned; task startup never auto-updates.

## Verification

- Native-session and adapter-registry suites: 158 tests passed.
- Provider suites: 88 tests passed, 7 Linux-only checks skipped on
macOS. One existing macOS temporary-path alias assertion passed when
rerun with canonical `TMPDIR=/private/tmp`.
- Package-contract and OpenCode materialization tests: 11 passed.
- Full typecheck, build, and token gates passed. Rust
native-provider/recovery tests: 19 passed.
- Broad local suite: 5,974 passed, 23 failed, 41 skipped. Failures are
in unchanged macOS workspace/path/port and connection suites; focused
runtime tests pass. All latest-head Linux PR checks passed, including
the full test shards, typecheck, build, runner verification, browser
suites, and canary dry run.
- The standalone fleet image built with one current provider CLI each
and passed native Codex/Claude binary-integrity checks. A disposable
Daytona sandbox reported ready in 798 ms; its baked runner completed an
API-key `gpt-5.6-luna` turn in 2,430 ms and returned the expected marker
with a usage receipt. No runtime artifacts were uploaded or installed.
- The normal shared `codex exec` entrypoint also completed an API-key
`gpt-5.6-luna` turn in 2,321 ms.
- Both image builds verify the complete generated lockfile against a
reviewed SHA-256 before package installation or lifecycle execution.
Root lockfile changes remain CI-owned. Merge and rollout remain on hold
for operator review.

## Risks

- Updating provider CLIs changes their behavior for all adapters;
version probes and live native smoke testing are required before image
promotion.
- The image-owned directory takes precedence. Its entries must launch
the same shared CLI as the global PATH, not a private older/newer copy.
- Application qualification pins and the deployed image must move
together. No startup fallback installation is added.
- No schema or authentication-policy changes.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 (Codex). The session does not expose a more specific model
ID or context-window size. Used reasoning, repository inspection, code
execution, and browser verification.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #12901.

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 3796c6f259 fix(connections): project GitHub identity into sandbox runners (#12907)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Managed GitHub connections resolve a responsible user's or dedicated
agent's identity into an audited, run-scoped credential projection.
> - An enrolled instance could retain a hidden managed setup method
after Cloud stopped advertising it, producing a blank, disabled setup
step.
> - Native runner processes also dropped the resolved GitHub projection
before the provider shell, so `gh` and Git could not use the selected
identity in Daytona.
> - Daytona already provides the outer isolation boundary. Applying
Codex's inner Linux sandbox there both duplicated containment and failed
because nested user namespaces are unavailable.
> - This change repairs setup fallback, carries only the bounded GitHub
projection across each runner boundary, and allows only a
controller-selected managed sandbox transport to act as the outer
sandbox.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

An enrolled self-hosted instance could show a blank GitHub setup step
when its managed profile was unavailable. Separately, a native Codex run
in Daytona could resolve a managed GitHub connection on the Paperclip
host but lose it before the provider shell. Once projected, Codex's
nested sandbox failed before commands could run because Daytona does not
expose the user-namespace operation used by the inner sandbox.

**Expected behavior**

Setup must select an advertised customer method when the managed method
is unavailable. A Daytona run must receive the exact managed GitHub
identity selected for that run, support `gh` and HTTPS Git, and rely on
Daytona as its outer sandbox without weakening local or SSH execution.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Enroll a self-hosted instance while Cloud does not advertise the
managed GitHub profile and open GitHub setup.
2. Observe the blank second step and disabled action.
3. Configure a native Codex agent with a Daytona environment and a
responsible-user GitHub grant.
4. Run `gh api user` or HTTPS Git from the agent shell.
5. Observe missing GitHub environment projection or nested-sandbox
startup failure.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The setup bug reproduces on `1dceee9a4`; the runner proof was developed
from the same branch and verified at the latest head below.

**Deployment mode**

Self-hosted Paperclip enrolled with Paperclip Cloud, using the Daytona
sandbox-provider plugin and native Paperclip runner.

## What Changed

- Wait for connector enrollment hydration, retain a hidden managed
method only while enrollment is needed, and otherwise select an
advertised customer fallback.
- Add a single bounded GitHub credential-environment projection for
`GH_TOKEN`, `GITHUB_TOKEN`, the process-only Git helper token, GitHub
commit identity, and at most 32 controller-generated Git config entries.
- Forward that projection through the durable controller, Codex
app-server transport, and Rust provider child without placing token
values in arguments or config.
- Allow Codex shell inheritance only for the exact projected GitHub keys
and enable provider network access only when the managed credential
exists.
- Derive outer-sandbox authority exclusively from a managed `sandbox`
transport; strip the same flag from configured, host, local, and SSH
environments.
- Define a named external-sandbox permission profile that Codex resolves
to `dangerFullAccess` for default-mode Daytona turns while plan mode
remains read-only.
- Add regression tests for setup fallback, credential projection,
local/SSH/sandbox authority separation, provider forwarding, and
permission-profile selection.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/pages/apps/AppsConnect.test.tsx` — 96
passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run src/drivers/codex/codex-security-config.test.ts
src/drivers/codex/app-server-transport.test.ts
src/control-plane/durable-prp-control-plane.test.ts` from
`packages/paperclip-runner` — 31 passed.
- Focused native-session executor tests — 3 passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.
- `cargo test --manifest-path
packages/paperclip-runner/runner/Cargo.toml --locked -p
paperclip-runner-core --lib` — 194 passed.
- Real Codex app-server configuration probe accepted
`paperclip-runner-external-sandbox` and reported
`sandbox.type=\"dangerFullAccess\"` while using the named profile.
- [Signed Daytona image
workflow](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/33995270328)
built commit `86571f7997e7100e47bd131aac1f1e773112a0ce`; the isolated
environment was pinned to
`sha256:ecef21105f8de382d75787e59439d936be239b77ae74a31c8ed3a17cde39b023`.
- Live isolated Daytona proof passed: the three projected token
variables were non-empty and equal; the host-scoped Git credential
helper returned the same token without printing it; `gh api user`
resolved `cryppadotta`; authenticated `git ls-remote
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip.git HEAD` returned
`1dceee9a4e75b13456760bb54c752deb2dba1d79`; no repository mutation
occurred.
- The persisted 28,476-byte run log contains no GitHub token shape,
bearer header, credential-bearing URL, or private-key marker.
- Latest-head pull-request CI and reviews provide the remaining
full-suite gate.

## Risks

- This deliberately gives shell Git and `gh` access to the run's
resolved GitHub identity. It is the audited class-3 behavior required by
the GitHub connection design and is outside per-tool Ask-first controls.
- The credential source is the trusted broker projection, which
overwrites configured environment values. The helper is scoped to HTTPS
`github.com`, revalidates protocol and host, and never places its token
in command arguments, URLs, or files.
- Managed Daytona sandboxes become the containment boundary for
default-mode provider commands. Local and SSH targets retain the inner
Codex workspace sandbox, and plan mode remains read-only everywhere.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

Related remote workspace foundation: #10070.

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

**Paperclip version or commit**

The failure reproduced at `13775a90b078ff64872f50961ea1b83d575e7bc6`.

**Deployment mode**

GitHub Actions with a Daytona sandbox.

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

Dotta 263f181fed fix(runner): complete live hot restart adoption (#12852)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Paperclip Runner owns durable provider sessions and streams their
work to the control plane.
> - Pull request #12845 added native restart recovery for live and dead
local runners.
> - A real browser test found three live-adoption gaps after that pull
request merged.
> - Lazy runner process ownership was not always stored before restart.
> - The old controller did not release its PRP authority without closing
the provider turn.
> - Reconnect events could arrive before the active provider turn was
restored.
> - This pull request closes those gaps and proves the same turn
completes after a UI hot restart.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #12845

Related search results: #12646 covers indeterminate command results
after a runner restart. It does not cover controller adoption or
active-turn rebinding. No open duplicate pull request was found.

## What Changed

- Store lazy runnerd process ownership after provider session creation,
read, and resume.
- Detach native PRP controller authority during coordinated hot
shutdown. Keep the live provider turn running.
- Restore the exact checkpointed provider session when bounded PRP
identity events have been compacted.
- Restore the active provider turn before reconnect events are replayed.
This prevents `turn_binding_mismatch`.
- Keep exact live ownership by the current controller out of generic
orphan recovery.
- Add driver, transport, and server regression tests for these paths.

## Verification

- Ran 12 Codex driver lifecycle tests.
- Ran 53 runnerd transport tests.
- Ran 143 recovery and orphan-reaper server tests.
- Ran all 8 real-process restart recovery scenarios.
- Ran all 96 existing runner E2E unit tests.
- Ran runner TypeScript typecheck.
- Ran server TypeScript typecheck.
- Ran the migration replay test and migration safety checks.
- Tested the board UI on an isolated local instance. A real local
Codex-backed turn entered a 120-second terminal wait. The UI `Restart
now` action replaced the server and kept the same runner PID, process
start time, run ID, native session ID, runner ID, provider session ID,
and active turn. The original turn then completed.
- Confirmed one heartbeat run, no retry row, one result, one
proposed-result event, one terminal event, no protocol errors, no active
recovery state, and no surviving runner or provider process.

## Risks

- A live runner can continue provider work while no server owns the
control route. Recovery fails closed when the process fingerprint or
durable identity is ambiguous.
- Provider identity can be restored from the database only for an exact
verified adoption claim. An authenticated live `session.snapshot`
validates that identity before the driver can resume.
- The new detach path applies only to native sessions that expose
restart detachment. Other adapters keep their existing shutdown
behavior.
- This follow-up does not change the database migration or
`package.json`. The migration in #12845 remains replay-safe through `ADD
COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS` and its embedded-Postgres idempotence test. The
dedicated real-process command remains in `doc/DEVELOPING.md`.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex based on GPT-5. The exact serving build and
context-window size are not exposed. The run used extended reasoning,
repository tools, shell execution, and in-app browser automation.

Dotta 7b094724e6 fix(runner): recover native sessions across restarts (#12845)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Paperclip Runner keeps durable run and provider state outside
one server process.
> - A server restart can leave that runner alive or can interrupt it
after a provider checkpoint.
> - The old startup path used handoff intent and PID evidence, but it
did not reconstruct native ownership.
> - That gap could block the issue, create a replacement run, or start
duplicate provider work.
> - This pull request adds durable same-run recovery for coordinated and
uncoordinated restarts.
> - The benefit is exact recovery of the run, runner, session, provider,
steering, and finalization state.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #9628. That pull request added earlier local-adapter hot-restart
work. This change adds native PRP authority reconstruction and same-run
provider resume.

Refs #10935. That pull request handles missing hot-restart snapshots.
This change also supports hard restarts with no snapshot.

Refs #11624. That pull request prevents unsafe retry after an adopted
legacy process exits. This change reconciles native terminal evidence
before provider recovery.

Refs #12070. That pull request improves process liveness checks. This
change also binds recovery to a process-start fingerprint and fails
closed on ambiguity.

**What happened?**

The server could record hot-restart intent, but startup did not rebuild
native runner ownership. A live runner could not re-register its PRP
authority. A dead runner could not resume the exact native and provider
session on the same heartbeat run. Generic recovery could then block the
issue or create replacement work.

**Expected behavior**

A live native runner must reconnect with the same PID and logical
identities. A dead runner must resume the same durable session and
heartbeat run with only a new operating-system PID. A proposed or
terminal result must finalize once before any provider turn starts.
Ambiguous process or session evidence must stay blocked without a signal
or duplicate spawn.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a Paperclip Runner heartbeat and wait for an active provider
turn.
2. Restart only the Paperclip server, with or without a hot-restart
marker.
3. Observe that the old startup path does not reconstruct the native
control-plane authority.
4. Kill both the server and runner after a provider checkpoint.
5. Observe that the old path cannot resume the exact native session on
the original heartbeat run.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The defect was reproduced from commit
`1991f31fd53e7f7794d5c2e4b93be384ade2b41d`. This branch is rebased onto
the current `master`.

**Deployment mode**

Local development and self-hosted server deployments that use the local
Paperclip Runner.

## What Changed

- Added correlated hot-restart requests and version-compatible native
handoff fields.
- Added controller boot identity, process-start identity, controller
generation, recovery state, request id, and bounded history to the
native finalization ledger.
- Added transactional recovery claims for live-runner reattach,
dead-runner resume, and incomplete bootstrap.
- Added fail-closed ownership takeover rules and process identity
validation.
- Added live runner adoption to the local runner transport without a
duplicate spawn.
- Added same-run provider checkpoint resume and legacy retry-row
compatibility.
- Reconciled proposed and terminal results before runner or provider
recovery.
- Bound the HTTP and PRP listener before startup recovery and delayed
scheduling and generic reapers until classification completes.
- Added restart-aware health diagnostics, run-log recovery transitions,
durable runner diagnostics, and bounded shutdown finalizer draining.
- Moved restart-survivable diagnostics into runner-owned, pre-redacted
bounded writes; raw stdout and stderr are never persisted.
- Added process-start fencing for controller, runner, and provider PIDs;
startup classifies every candidate without an implicit cap.
- Added crash-recoverable, contention-safe development restart-request
coordination and failed-startup listener cleanup.
- Added a credential-free real-process restart suite for eight restart,
scale, and identity scenarios.
- Documented native restart operation, persistence, diagnostics, and
verification.

## Verification

- The documented native restart commands passed. They ran eight
real-process/database recovery scenarios and the live runner adoption
transport test.
- Native executor tests passed: 111 tests.
- Heartbeat recovery tests passed: 124 tests.
- Hot restart, health, and shutdown tests passed: 52 tests.
- The broader affected server suite passed: 350 tests.
- Focused native recovery and startup tests passed: 49 tests.
- Runner transport and control-plane tests passed: 63 tests.
- Runner-owned diagnostic tests passed for write-time bounding,
credential redaction, private file modes, and raw stream
non-persistence.
- Development restart coordination tests passed: 11 tests.
- Database migration checks and the partial-application/replay
regression test passed.
- Server, database, and Paperclip Runner typechecks passed.
- `git diff --check` passed.
- Full Paperclip PR CI passed, including build, canary, all five general
server shards, all five serialized server shards, all three browser E2E
shards, workspace suites, and release-registry verification.
- Greptile completed at 5/5 with no outstanding findings,
recommendations, follow-ups, or open review threads.

## Risks

- Moderate risk. This changes startup ordering and ownership transfer
for active native runs.
- The migration adds nullable columns and does not rewrite existing
rows.
- Recovery fails closed when process or durable session identity is
incomplete or contradictory.
- The first implementation supports the local Paperclip Runner. Remote
targets keep their existing behavior.
- The real-process suite covers cleanup and asserts that no runner or
provider process survives each test.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex with GPT-5. The runtime did not expose a more specific

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #12721 and #12700.

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

**Paperclip version or commit**

`0f9452101740835ce0b1488a204bf48acd5bafc3`

**Deployment mode**

Local development with the paid GitHub Actions acceptance workflow.

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

**Paperclip version or commit**

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

**Deployment mode**

Local development with the embedded database.

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

Dotta fdf8c8464d feat(runner): add managed provider backends (#12699)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Paperclip Runner provides durable, provider-neutral agent
execution.
> - The current stack supports qualified local providers but omits the
managed provider paths from the integration branch.
> - Claude Managed Agents and AWS AgentCore need explicit profile
qualification, durable recovery, usage accounting, and cleanup controls.
> - This pull request adds those managed backends as the third part of
the Runner parity stack.
> - The benefit is managed execution without weakening the default-off
Runner rollout gate.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting: Runner, server orchestration, database profiles, CLI, and
adapter configuration UI.

**Problem or motivation**

The current Runner stack cannot select or execute the managed Claude
Agents API or AWS Bedrock AgentCore Harness backends. It also lacks
qualified profile storage and recovery checks for those remote
resources.

**Proposed solution**

Add qualified managed and remote profiles, API and CLI management, exact
provider selection, durable lifecycle handling, cumulative usage
accounting, bounded cleanup, and retention acknowledgement. Keep
`enableNativeRunner` default-off.

**Alternatives considered**

A direct copy of the old integration branch was rejected because its
provider contracts, model values, credential flow, and migration history
no longer match the current base. A single large parity pull request was
also rejected because stacked review keeps each subsystem bounded.

**Roadmap alignment**

This continues the existing Runner architecture and rollout work. It
does not introduce a separate execution system.

**Additional context**

This pull request is based on the merged #12691 and #12685 stack. It
also closes the delayed security-review findings reported on #12691 by
binding qualified ACPX and OpenCode launch artifacts to the bytes
actually executed. A GitHub search for managed agent, AgentCore, and
Claude managed work found no duplicate public issue or pull request.

## What Changed

- Add Claude Managed Agents and AWS AgentCore provider executors to
runnerd.
- Add qualified managed and remote profile storage, routes, OpenAPI
contracts, CLI commands, and migration 0237.
- Validate profile ownership, enabled state, exact qualified revision,
model, agent version, and secret binding before persistence and
recovery.
- Persist durable provider session and owned skill state for
restart-safe cleanup.
- Reconcile uncertain create responses and delete remote sessions before
owned skills.
- Track cumulative provider usage and enforce positive session spend
caps.
- Recover interrupted AgentCore usage at the next turn boundary by
charging the prior invocation ceiling exactly once; keep the session
gated until an explicit monotonic budget raise.
- Isolate AgentCore AWS configuration from host profiles and
credential-process/SSO configuration while preserving workload identity.
- Require OpenCode 1.18.17 and fixed build-owned provider-pack artifact
paths; remove the ambient executable override.
- Snapshot and content-verify ACPX and OpenCode commands, scripts, and
provider executables before launch. Linux executes sealed inherited
descriptors; macOS uses authenticated private snapshots with retry-safe
rematerialization at the spawn boundary.
- Persist canonical ACPX and OpenCode launch-profile digests, reject
drift across fresh recovery, and make recovery failures sticky.
- Close and journal unsafe ACPX active-turn recovery before any provider
bootstrap or reconnect.
- Add managed provider fields to the Runner configuration UI and
permission projection.
- Preserve the default-off `enableNativeRunner` experimental flag.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- Focused managed server, database, CLI, Runner TypeScript, Rust,
Claude, AgentCore, ACPX, OpenCode, process-supervisor, and
durable-recovery tests passed.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --lib --locked` (160 tests)
- `cargo check --workspace --all-targets --locked`
- Native Codex integration tests passed (60 tests); native provider
tests passed (7 tests); server native-runtime tests passed (87 tests).
- Verified-launch replacement, nested-spawn retry, exact-version,
profile-drift, sticky-failure, and no-bootstrap active-recovery tests
passed.
- `git diff --check`
- The PR changes 91 files. `pnpm-lock.yaml` is unchanged. The Rust
workspace lockfile adds the approved `rustix` dependency used for safe
descriptor handling while `#![forbid(unsafe_code)]` remains enabled.

## Risks

- The provider APIs can change while they are in beta. Exact
qualification and fail-closed recovery checks limit drift.
- Remote cleanup can fail after a partial create. Durable ownership
inventories and retry-safe deletion preserve recovery state.
- Migration 0237 adds profile tables. The generated migration and
snapshot pass the repository migration checks.
- Managed execution can incur provider cost. Positive default spend caps
and explicit retention acknowledgement limit accidental use.
- An interrupted AgentCore invocation without final metadata is
conservatively charged to its active session ceiling. This can overstate
cost, but cannot undercount it; later work requires an explicit budget
increase.
- Linux qualified launches use sealed memory descriptors. macOS lacks
executable-descriptor APIs, so the runner uses owner-only private
snapshots and minimizes linked-path lifetime; hostile same-UID processes
remain outside the documented local-host trust boundary.
- The global Runner feature remains default-off.

Dotta 84bedd4ca1 feat(runner): activate qualified OpenCode and ACPX providers (#12691)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Paperclip Runner is the experimental native runtime for governed
agent work.
> - The runtime contracts already describe Codex, OpenCode, and ACPX
providers.
> - The merged control plane still rejected OpenCode and ACPX for new
runner agents.
> - Runnerd also selected only the Codex provider implementation.
> - This pull request activates the qualified OpenCode and ACPX paths
from the form to runnerd.
> - The benefit is one durable runner path with provider-specific
permissions and recovery.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #12685

**Subsystem affected**

This change affects the runner package, server orchestration, adapter
configuration, and UI configuration.

**Problem or motivation**

Paperclip Runner stores provider contracts for OpenCode and ACPX. New
agents cannot select those providers. Runnerd cannot execute those
stored provider descriptors. The UI also shows only Codex.

**Proposed solution**

Accept the qualified OpenCode 1.18.17 profile and the fixed ACPX Claude
and Codex profiles. Route them through runnerd. Keep provider selection,
model selection, permissions, credentials, events, and recovery inside
closed provider-specific boundaries.

**Alternatives considered**

One option was to keep the contracts dormant. That option leaves stored
configuration and runtime behavior out of sync. Another option was to
enable every ACPX agent. That option is not safe because Pi does not yet
have the same verified launch path.

**Roadmap alignment**

This change supports the completed cloud and sandbox agent milestone. It
also supports self-healing runs and governed agent execution. It does
not add a new roadmap surface.

## What Changed

- Add one server profile resolver for Codex, OpenCode, and qualified
ACPX descriptors.
- Keep `adapterConfig` as the provider and permission authority for
fresh runs.
- Add Paperclip Runner provider, ACPX agent, and provider-specific
permission controls to the UI.
- Reset the model to a compatible qualified value when the provider
changes.
- Route Codex, OpenCode, and ACPX through the durable runnerd provider
selector.
- Add a durable ACPX executor with bounded state, recovery, events, tool
receipts, and identity checks.
- Remove Codex labels from OpenCode events, results, evidence, and
recovery diagnostics.
- Pass only provider-specific credential names to child processes.
- Keep ACPX Pi unavailable and reject it before process launch.
- Keep the existing Paperclip Runner experimental flag unchanged.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/paperclip-runner/src/backends/native-backend-factory.test.ts

- The focused TypeScript, server, and UI suites passed 274 tests.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --test native_provider_backend`
- The executable native provider integration suite passed 4 tests.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --lib`
- The Rust unit suite passed 91 tests.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `pnpm build`
- `git diff --check codex/runner-parity-task-runtime...HEAD`

## Risks

- This changes provider process selection and durable recovery. The
experimental flag still gates every fresh Paperclip Runner run.
- OpenCode requires a model in `provider/model` form and stays pinned to
version 1.18.17.
- ACPX accepts only exact Claude and Codex profile versions and models.
Pi stays unavailable.
- ACPX steering stays unavailable and reports that limit through the
driver capabilities.
- Child processes receive explicit environment allowlists. They do not
inherit the full server environment.
- This pull request has no database migration.

Dotta ee2a190626 Unify Paperclip Runner experimental controls (#12666)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Paperclip Runner is an experimental execution adapter.
> - The adapter and its required sandbox ingress had separate settings.
> - A user could enable one setting and still have an unusable runner
configuration.
> - The runtime already makes one durable native or legacy decision for
each run.
> - This pull request uses that runtime decision for ingress
authorization.
> - The benefit is one clear opt-in with safe recovery for existing
native runs.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

This improves the experimental settings and transport authorization for
Paperclip Runner.

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting. This change affects the React settings UI, shared
settings contracts, adapter utilities, and server runtime selection.

**Current behavior**

Settings shows separate Paperclip Runner and Runner Preview Ingress
controls. A user can enable the runner but leave required sandbox
ingress disabled.

**Proposed behavior**

Settings shows only Paperclip Runner. Its native runtime decision also
authorizes provider WebSocket ingress when the execution target requires
it. A persisted native run keeps its recovery transport after the
setting is disabled.

**Reason and benefit**

Paperclip Runner is one experimental capability. One opt-in removes an
invalid partial configuration and makes the rollout boundary easier to
understand.

**Breaking changes**

The Runner Preview Ingress card is removed. The old
`enableRunnerPreviewIngress` key remains accepted in stored settings and
managed configuration, but it has no server runtime effect. The public
adapter-utils input remains compatible through a deprecated alias.

**Additional context**

Refs: #12638, #12641, #12656.

## What Changed

- Removed the separate Runner Preview Ingress card from Experimental
Settings.
- Made resolved native runtime selection authorize required provider
ingress.
- Preserved ingress recovery for persisted native runs after the rollout
flag is disabled.
- Kept the old settings key and adapter-utils input as deprecated
compatibility contracts.
- Added focused UI, runtime policy, transport, stored-settings, and
managed-config regression tests.
- Updated deployment documentation and feature descriptions.

## Verification

- GitHub Actions will run typecheck, tests, build, policy, and browser
shards.
- Focused tests cover the single settings control, runtime
authorization, fail-closed transport selection, the deprecated public
input, and old managed configuration.
- No local tests were run, per the maintainer request to use GitHub
Actions for verification.
- `git diff --check` passes.

## Risks

Low to moderate risk. The effective ingress gate changes from a separate
stored flag to the resolved native run decision. Fresh runs still
require `enableNativeRunner`. Persisted native runs remain recoverable.
Legacy adapters never receive ingress authorization.

Dotta 0a422fda52 feat(runner): add remote execution substrate (#12638)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Paperclip Runner gives native runs a durable and governed execution
path.
> - The current native path runs on the control-plane host.
> - Remote environments need an authenticated execution-target contract.
> - The contract must not change direct adapters or enable new runtimes
by default.
> - This pull request adds the remote execution substrate and Daytona
ingress.
> - The benefit is a bounded base for later remote runner transport
work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #12616.
Refs #12352.

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting. This change touches runner transport, server
orchestration, plugin contracts, and shared settings.

**Problem or motivation**

Native execution cannot resolve an authenticated runner ingress through
a remote environment. The server also lacks one provider-neutral
contract for remote execution targets.

**Proposed solution**

Add a default-off runner preview ingress capability. Add
transport-neutral runner connectivity. Add remote execution target and
lifecycle handling. Add a Daytona ingress implementation with redacted
credentials.

**Alternatives considered**

A provider-specific server path would duplicate orchestration and
authorization. A public endpoint without an environment contract would
weaken the trust boundary.

**Roadmap alignment**

This work supports the Cloud and Sandbox agents milestone. It also
supports self-healing runs and governed tool access.

## What Changed

- Added execution-target traits for local, SSH, and sandbox
environments.
- Added plugin RPC contracts for runner ingress endpoints.
- Added authenticated Daytona preview ingress.
- Added transport-neutral PRP outbound connections.
- Added remote runner artifact verification and fail-closed provider
selection.
- Added bounded native session resume, cancellation, and lifecycle
recovery.
- Preserved Codex-only selection for fresh experimental runner starts.
- Preserved all direct adapter execution and finalization paths.
- Removed stale Pi provider-pack requirements that security review
rejected.
- Kept the rollout controls off by default.
- Did not change pnpm-lock.yaml, Cargo, database migrations, or GitHub
workflows.

## Verification

- GitHub Actions will run the repository test, typecheck, build,
security, and policy gates.
- Focused tests cover ingress validation, redaction, execution targets,
remote lifecycle, cancellation, resume, and legacy adapter selection.
- Local tests were not run. The requested verification policy uses
GitHub Actions for this series.
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD` passes.
- The diff contains 52 files.

## Risks

- Remote execution crosses a trust boundary.
- The implementation validates target capabilities, artifact digests,
provider-pack pins, and connection metadata.
- The feature remains default-off.
- Fresh native selection remains Codex-only.
- Existing direct adapters remain on the legacy path.
- This PR does not yet make remote Codex runnable. The next PR adds the
Rust WSS and TLS transport.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex with GPT-5.6. The work used high-reasoning agent mode,
repository tools, GitHub tools, and parallel code-audit agents.

Dotta 51ad751e0b feat(runner): integrate Codex native execution (#12616)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source control plane for teams of AI agents.
> - Agent runs currently use direct adapters and their established
finalization paths.
> - The new runner package needs one production integration before it
can execute a real provider through the server.
> - That integration must not change direct adapters or expose
unsupported providers.
> - The rollout must also preserve native runs that were already
recorded when the feature flag changes.
> - This pull request adds a default-off, Codex-only native execution
path and its authority boundary.
> - The benefit is a recoverable production vertical slice with explicit
compatibility guards.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting server orchestration and adapter selection.

**Problem or motivation**

The runner package exists, but the server cannot yet start and recover a
governed Codex run through it. A careless integration could also route
existing direct adapters into the native runtime or lose cancellation
and finalization state.

**Proposed solution**

Add a hidden `paperclip_runner` adapter for Codex. Keep it behind the
default-off instance flag. Bind native execution, resume, cancellation,
semantic tool authority, and finalization to the recorded company,
issue, run, and coordinator identities. Leave every direct adapter on
its existing path.

**Alternatives considered**

A multi-provider launch was rejected because only Codex has the complete
production bridge in this series. Replacing direct adapter execution was
rejected because the runner remains experimental.

**Roadmap alignment**

This work supports governed tool access, action attribution, and
self-healing runs. It keeps the integration narrow and default-off.

## What Changed

- Add the Codex-only native session executor and persisted resumption
path.
- Add run-scoped semantic tool projection, authorization, receipts, and
idempotency.
- Add audited native cancellation with durable issue and coordinator
binding.
- Add result fencing so a recorded result cannot reacquire the provider
and run twice.
- Reject fresh runner starts when the rollout flag is off while
preserving recorded native recovery.
- Keep direct adapters outside native status, cancellation, record
creation, and finalization.
- Add focused conformance, recovery, cancellation, status, portability,
and compatibility coverage.

## Verification

- GitHub Actions is the authoritative test environment for this large
stack.
- The PR policy and lightweight stack checks run while this is a middle
PR.
- The full required suite runs when this PR becomes the lowest unmerged
or top PR.
- Greptile will review this exact delta after the branch is pushed.

## Risks

- The main risk is routing a legacy adapter into native execution.
Runtime selection and heartbeat tests cover that boundary.
- The next risk is stale or cross-company cancellation. Durable binding
checks and transactional audit persistence cover it.
- The adapter remains hidden and default-off. Only Codex is admitted.
- There are no database migration, lockfile, or GitHub workflow changes
in this PR.
