DottaandPaperclip 9e5039f6c8 fix(daytona): retain duplex close ownership after lease cleanup (#19150)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Remote agents use provider plugins to manage sandbox leases and
duplex channels.
> - The host verifies the exact route and session when a bound channel
closes.
> - Daytona lease teardown removed that binding before a later host
close.
> - The incomplete reply made the host retire the shared worker. A later
command then failed during setup.
> - This pull request retains bounded close receipts and joins the
original cleanup.
> - Later work can use the same worker while invalid or unconfirmed
closes still fail closed.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A normal lease teardown can close a duplex channel before the host
closes its bound route. Daytona then replies with only the route ID. The
host requires the original session ID too. It logs `duplex channel close
not acknowledged; retiring worker`, stops the worker, and rejects a
later `environmentExecute` call as stopped.

**Expected behavior**

A later close must identify the original route and session and join its
existing cleanup. It must not revive the channel or restart the worker.
Unknown ownership and an unconfirmed close must retain the existing
failure behavior.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Acquire two leases through one Daytona provider worker.
2. Open a duplex channel on the first lease.
3. Release that lease, then close the bound channel through the host.
4. Execute a command on the second lease.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The real host/worker regression fails on
`69dea878c0b920b335594debb0286443ba9f6c35`. This branch includes master
`3a72efebe5b050e7594bb309e71a0d5f3072db00`.

**Deployment mode**

Managed Daytona sandbox execution in Cloud. The regression uses a local
real host and SDK worker. Only the external Daytona SDK and PTY are
simulated.

Related work: Refs #19004, Refs #10429, Refs #18065, Refs #19050. These
cover task Retry, managed worker startup, drain release, and stale
provider sessions.

## What Changed

- Retain at most 4096 retired route/session bindings with their original
close promises.
- Remove live channel authority before cleanup starts. Concurrent and
later closes join the same promise and return the stored binding.
- Reject reuse of a retained route ID. Keep unknown and evicted routes
unable to provide a session acknowledgement.
- Add a real child-process host/SDK-worker/Daytona regression with only
the external Daytona SDK and PTY simulated.
- Cover release, cancellation, stop, destroy, resume, a stalled close,
concurrent closes, failed cleanup, forged IDs and bounded eviction.
- Document close receipt scope and its separate provider-termination
checks.

## Verification

- RED before the repair: the actual host and SDK worker reproduced the
retirement log, SIGKILL, stopped state, and later `environmentExecute`
rejection. The direct provider cases also failed because the session ID
was missing.
- Combined-branch provider suite: 364 passed.
- Combined-branch host manager, duplex, managed readiness and composed
suites: 142 passed. The final test-only manifest-loading change passed
all 6 composed cases again.
- Full repository typecheck (`node scripts/typecheck-low-memory.mjs`),
focused server types and the standalone Daytona build passed. The
provider build uses pinned SDK `0.203.0` and TypeScript `5.9.3`.
- The composed cases check the same worker/PID, one later command,
preserved saved content, revoked channel writes/stops, and continued
rejection of commands on closed leases. A stalled close still retires
the worker and dispatches no later command.
- Reproduce with `pnpm --dir server exec vitest run --config
vitest.config.ts
src/__tests__/plugin-worker-manager-daytona-close.test.ts` from a
checkout with the SDK build dependencies prepared. Run the provider
suite with its own Vitest config.
- An initial local typecheck lacked the excluded providers' SDK links
after an install with scripts disabled. The standard root postinstall
linker restored those local links, and full typechecking then passed.
The fixture loads its actual built manifest. Failed setup output is
retained; no type configuration was relaxed.
- The first two composed attempts stopped during fixture setup. They are
not the behavioral RED above. Their failed outputs are retained.
- The first broad local typecheck stopped at an IPC permission error
during preflight. It passed after rerunning with allowed local IPC and
the standard SDK links.
- [Full repository
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41945022881)
passed all 48 jobs on this head. Selection fell back to the complete
task plan, so the run was unfiltered. The complete check inventory has
54 successes and two expected Storybook skips; the separate Snyk status
passed. Fresh Greptile review on
`daebbeb5005b9d9bd59d32ea30094279048b9213` is [5/5 with no actionable
comments](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/19150#issuecomment-6646621914).
Independent production and fixture review found no actionable findings.
Hosted acceptance of this repair has not run.

## Risks

- A receipt removed at the 4096-entry bound cannot confirm an old bound
close. The existing host guard remains effective in that case.
- Close acknowledgements identify channels. They do not certify remote
process termination or clear unknown external work. Provider termination
receipts and existing recovery gates remain in force.
- Hosted evidence confirms the unacknowledged-close retirement class.
The historical log does not distinguish a missing session ID from a
timeout or another close error. The regression proves and repairs the
missing-binding path; it also preserves timeout retirement.
- The provider is outside the main pnpm workspace. A new Cloud image
must compile its changed source. The unchanged plugin version alone does
not prove activation.

## Model Used

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

**Paperclip version or commit**

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

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

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 d8dbe55368 fix(workspaces): let a missing task repository ref be corrected (#19072)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents can ask Paperclip to prepare a task repository at a specific
ref
> - Paperclip records that request and clones the repository at the next
admission
> - Paperclip did not check that the requested ref exists
> - When the ref was absent, every admission retried the same checkout
and failed setup
> - A corrected request was refused as a conflicting receipt, so the
task stayed blocked with no repair path
> - This pull request identifies a missing ref and lets a corrected
request replace it while nothing was published
> - The benefit is that a bad ref becomes a repairable error instead of
a permanent setup failure

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
An agent asked for a catalog repository at ref `main`. The repository
default branch is `master` and has no `main` branch. Each later
admission failed with `setup_failed`: `git checkout main` reported
`pathspec 'main' did not match`. The task failed admission for more than
a week and became blocked. A new request with ref `master` returned 409
because the receipt with ref `main` already existed.

**Expected behavior**
Paperclip should report that the requested ref does not exist. A new
request with a valid ref should replace the bad ref when no checkout
exists.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Use a repository whose only branch is `master`.
2. Request it as a task repository with `ref: "main"`.
3. Admit the task. Preparation fails, and the receipt goes to
`needs_repair`.
4. Request the same repository with `ref: "master"`. Before this change,
the request returns 409.

## What Changed

- `managed-repository-checkout.ts`: When `git checkout <ref>` fails with
Git's unknown-ref message, and each quiet `rev-parse --verify` probe
(`<ref>^{commit}`, `refs/remotes/origin/<ref>^{commit}`) exits 1, throw
`RepositoryRefNotFoundError`. The message tells the caller to request
the repository again with an existing branch, tag, or commit. Other
checkout failures keep their original cause.
- `execution-workspace-repositories.ts`: Record `failureCode:
"repository_ref_not_found"` for that error. Other failures keep
`repository_preparation_failed`.
- `execution-workspace-repositories.ts`: A request for the same
repository with a different ref replaces the ref only when all of these
are true: the receipt is `needs_repair` with `repository_ref_not_found`,
it has no pinned commit, the workspace is local (no remote authority),
and the checkout path is absent. The update is conditional on that state
and writes a `workspace.repository.ref_corrected` activity entry. All
other ref changes keep the existing 409 conflict.
- `execution-workspace-repositories.ts`: Local admission re-reads each
receipt inside the checkout lock and claims it with a conditional update
on its current ref. A correction that commits after the receipts were
listed is used, not discarded.
- Tests: one regression for the full missing-ref path, and one safety
test that keeps the receipt immutable when files exist at the checkout
path or when the failure was not a missing ref.

## Verification

- Red before the fix: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/task-workspace-repositories-persistence.test.ts` failed
with `expected ... /ref "main" does not exist/ but got 'Failed to
prepare managed checkout fo…'`.
- Green after the fix: the same file passes (11 tests). The new test
admits with ref `main` (fails, `repository_ref_not_found`, no checkout),
corrects to `master`, admits again (ready, pinned to the source commit),
and then confirms that a later ref change after publication still
returns a conflict.
- The regression also holds the checkout lock while admission waits,
corrects the ref, and then releases the lock. Without the in-lock
re-read it fails with 409; with it, admission publishes the corrected
ref.
- `heartbeat-managed-clone-credentials.test.ts` passes: an
authentication failure during checkout keeps its cause and is not
reported as a missing ref.
- Other checkout suites pass (9 files, 317 tests): reopen, base storage,
expiration, project env, rehome, nested clone migration, object cache,
trust, source copy privacy.
- Neighbor suites pass: `managed-repository-checkout.test.ts`,
`task-workspace-repositories.test.ts`,
`task-workspace-repositories-trust.test.ts`,
`heartbeat-project-repositories.test.ts` (47 tests). In one parallel run
under heavy machine load, `heartbeat-project-repositories.test.ts` had
timing failures in different tests on each run. The same file passed
alone with this change (47/47) and on master.
- `tsc --noEmit` for `server` passes.

## Risks

- Low risk. The new correction path is narrow and fails closed. Remote
(sandbox) workspaces keep the existing conflict because the control
plane cannot inspect the remote checkout.
- Existing receipts that failed before this change have
`repository_preparation_failed`. They need one more failed admission to
get `repository_ref_not_found` before a correction is accepted.
- No schema change. `failure_code` is free text.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, agentic coding with
tool use (shell, file edit, browser read-only diagnostics).

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

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A native run claims its finalization coordinator before task
preparation. Then it starts the provider turn.
> - Task preparation can fail after the claim and before any provider
turn.
> - In that case the executor kept its claim. Failure settlement read
the claim as a live owner and stopped. Nothing failed the run.
> - The 60-second execution-control watchdog then failed the run as
`execution_finalization_deadline_exceeded`. The original error was lost.
> - This pull request releases only that exact fresh, unstarted claim
after renewal stops.
> - The benefit is that ordinary settlement fails the run at once with
its real error and keeps the workspace files. The watchdog stays a
backstop.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

DottaandPaperclip 9cdbcbeddc fix(workspaces): restore archived commits from verified project objects (#19138)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - An ephemeral web server must preserve historical task files outside
its local disk.
> - Archived isolated Git workspaces can have a successful
branch-deletion receipt.
> - Their private checkout can be gone while the project cache still
owns the exact commit.
> - The importer rejects that cache because it applies private-checkout
validation.
> - This pull request validates the managed object source for
receipt-based restoration.
> - The importer restores the recorded commit without using the current
shared working tree.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18826, #18943, #19038.

**What happened?**

An archived isolated workspace has a valid successful cleanup receipt
and a retained commit. Offline migration rejects it with
`archived_git_source_unavailable,local_source_unsafe_or_missing`. The
private checkout was removed. The company and project cache still
contains the exact commit.

**Expected behavior**

Restore the immutable commit from the verified project object cache.
Keep strict validation for saved private edit recipes. Reject missing
receipts, a foreign cache, a different origin and revoked cleanup
authority.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create an isolated Git workspace from a managed project cache.
2. Archive it and retain its successful branch-deletion receipt.
3. Remove its private checkout while the verified project cache retains
that commit.
4. Attempt offline workspace migration.

## What Changed

- Extract the existing managed Git object-source validator.
- Use that validator only for exact successful deletion receipts that
refer to a canonical company and project cache.
- Keep private restore-point source validation unchanged.
- Fetch immutable objects at the recorded commit into private scratch.
Recheck receipt authority before publication.
- Add real Git and database tests for restoration and rejected authority
changes. Document the preservation path.

## Verification

- 129 focused migration, concurrency and isolated-source tests pass
across three files.
- The new restoration case fails against the previous importer with the
reported source-unavailable error.
- Tests remove the old home and restore the retained commit. A newer
shared working tree and unrelated files are excluded.
- Tests reject a foreign company cache, wrong origin, missing receipt
and receipt revocation during upload.
- Local server typecheck has no diagnostics in changed files. Stale
linked dependency declarations prevent a clean local whole-server
result. Current-head full CI passes (54 passing checks, three skipped).
Greptile is 5/5 with no unresolved review threads.
- A replay of the 32 affected records is running in an isolated staging
copy. Two committed owner overlays are under test. This is not
released-image or serving-instance acceptance.

## Risks

- A deletion receipt must identify an exact commit that still exists.
Missing objects continue to block migration.
- Shared working-tree contents must never substitute for archived
private files. Only the recorded commit is fetched through this path.
- The change does not recreate private edit authority, retire recovery
records or alter serving configuration.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6.1 Codex, exact model ID `gpt-6.1-sol`. Used for reasoning,
code editing, shell tools and test execution. The runtime does not
expose its context-window size.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `master` at `be20d4ad97`.

**Deployment mode**

Remote sandbox environments with PostgreSQL.

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19038, #18943, #18932.

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at be20d4ad97.

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

**Paperclip version or commit**

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 0e27369fa4 fix(native): restart sandbox prep interrupted before its sync descriptor (#19054)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs on sandbox environments sync the host workspace into the
sandbox before the provider starts
> - Runtime selection writes the native execution input first. It writes
the workspace sync reference only after the sandbox is seeded, and
before any provider dispatch
> - A server restart between those two writes leaves a run with an input
but no sync reference
> - Restart recovery then fails the run during workspace preparation
with `native_workspace_sync_descriptor_binding_missing`, although the
sandbox never received any work from that run
> - This pull request lets recovery re-admit the host workspace in that
state, so sync preparation starts fresh on the same run
> - The benefit is that a deploy or restart during sandbox preparation
no longer turns queued work into a terminal `setup_failed` run

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
After a server restart, six native sandbox runs failed with
`setup_failed` and the error
`native_workspace_sync_descriptor_binding_missing`. Each run timeline
shows the same order: run started, `snapshot.git`, `snapshot.baseline`,
then "Server shutdown suspended native controller ownership", then a
restart recovery claim ("Restarting an incomplete native runner
bootstrap" or "Resuming the durable native provider session"), then the
error. No run had a `nativeWorkspaceSync` reference. Each run had a
persisted `nativeExecutionInput`.

**Expected behavior**
When sandbox sync preparation did not finish, restart recovery prepares
the sandbox workspace again from the host workspace and continues the
run.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a native run on a sandbox environment.
2. Restart the server after runtime selection persists
`nativeExecutionInput` but before `prepareNativeWorkspaceSync` persists
its reference.
3. Restart recovery re-enters workspace preparation and fails with
`native_workspace_sync_descriptor_binding_missing`.

**Paperclip version or commit**
Reproduced on `master` at be20d4ad97.

**Relevant logs or output**
`native_workspace_sync_descriptor_binding_missing` thrown from
`server/src/services/heartbeat/workspace-preparation.ts`.

Related: #17838 (preparation recovery ownership). No open PR covers this
guard.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/heartbeat/workspace-preparation.ts`: remove the
guard that failed sandbox recovery when the run has no workspace sync
reference. The existing fallback admits `executionWorkspace.cwd`, which
is the same host directory that `prepareNativeWorkspaceSync` then uses
as `workspaceLocalDir`. A comment records the ordering invariant that
makes this safe.
- `server/src/services/heartbeat/workspace-preparation.test.ts`: the
Daytona "absent descriptor" recovery case now expects preparation to
succeed and to re-admit the host workspace. The "corrupt descriptor"
case still fails closed with
`native_workspace_sync_descriptor_digest_mismatch`.

## Verification

- Red before the fix: `npx vitest run
src/services/heartbeat/workspace-preparation.test.ts -t "validates the
admitted host binding"` (from `server/`) failed for "daytona recovery
with absent descriptor" with
`native_workspace_sync_descriptor_binding_missing`, the same error as
the failed runs.
- Green after the fix: the full
`src/services/heartbeat/workspace-preparation.test.ts` file passes,
including the local, ssh, runner-task, valid-descriptor and
corrupt-descriptor recovery cases.
- Ordering check (code read): `runtime-selection.ts` persists
`nativeExecutionInput` in the selection transaction, then calls
`prepareNativeWorkspaceSync`, which persists the reference as its last
step. `heartbeat.ts` calls `executeHeartbeatRuntime` only after runtime
selection returns. No code path removes `nativeWorkspaceSync` from
`runnerProfileJson`.
- Not run: a live restart on a sandbox environment. The original staging
runs are not recovered by this PR.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change only affects native recovery on sandbox targets
(not runner-task, ssh, remote-authority or controller-only runs) when
the sync reference is absent.
- A present but invalid descriptor still fails closed.
- If a future change dispatches a provider before the sync reference is
persisted, this path would re-seed over remote work. The comment at the
call site records that invariant.

(shell, file edits, browser reads of run records).

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19063.

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

1a7eb70a37 fix(run-dispatch): save a redirect sent while a stopped run settles (#19122)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A user can stop a running agent and then send a new message that
redirects the work
> - The stopped run keeps settling for some seconds after Stop (backup
and checkpoint persist)
> - A message sent in that window is queued as a normal run before
settlement records the workspace recovery hold
> - The dispatch gate then withholds the unstarted run, but it saved the
message only for sources with a native workspace-sync baseline
> - For other sources (remote workspace, snapshot-only) it marked the
wake `skipped`, so the message was lost and the task stayed in progress
with no run and no wake
> - This pull request saves the withheld message for any source when the
message was written after the Stop
> - The benefit is that a redirect after Stop is acted on exactly once
instead of disappearing

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
After Stop, a user posted a redirect comment with resume intent. The
follow-up run was created while the stopped run was still persisting its
checkpoint. When settlement finished, the dispatch gate cancelled the
follow-up run with `execution_reconciliation_required` and an
empty-looking error ("Recovering saved work…"). The user's wake was
marked `skipped`. Nothing woke the task again. It stayed `in_progress`
with no active or queued run.

**Expected behavior**
The message sent after Stop runs exactly once after the stopped run
settles. The task never rests in progress with no run and no pending
wake.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a native run whose stopped source has no native workspace-sync
baseline (for example a remote-workspace sandbox run).
2. Stop the run.
3. Post a comment with resume intent while the stopped run still
persists its checkpoint.
4. Let settlement record the workspace recovery hold.
5. Observe that the queued follow-up run is cancelled with
`execution_reconciliation_required` and its wake is `skipped`.

**Root cause**
`deferUnstartedUserComment` in
`server/src/modules/run-dispatch/adapters/postgres.ts` saved a withheld
user comment only when the stopped source had a native workspace-sync
baseline (the copyback replay case). The enqueue path saves or admits
the same message when it arrives after the hold exists. The gap was only
timing.

Refs #18332 (added the native-baseline-only deferral this PR widens).

**Paperclip version or commit**
Reproduced on `master` at e107a75755. The
touched code is unchanged on current `master`.

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

## What Changed

- `deferUnstartedUserComment` now saves a withheld user comment as a
`deferred_issue_execution` receipt for any stopped native source when
the latest saved comment was written after the source's Stop
(`finishedAt`).
- The native-baseline copyback path is unchanged.
- Input written before the Stop keeps the old behavior (`skipped`).
Older queued input cannot undo a Stop.
- Delivery uses the existing deferred-receipt path
(`resumeRemoteStopComments` / `resumeDeferredExecutionReceipts` →
`admitExplicitNativeContinuation` with `queuedCommentRequestId`). All
continuation gates still apply.
- New regression in `workspace-recovery.test.ts` that controls the
timing: the message is queued while the stopped run is still active,
then the hold is recorded, then the gate runs.
- The existing snapshot-only queued-reset tests asserted the dropped
message. They now assert that the message is saved and delivered once,
like the native-baseline case.

## Verification

- Red before the fix: the new test failed with the wake `status:
"skipped"`.
- Green after the fix:
- `cd server && npx vitest run src/services/workspace-recovery.test.ts`
(308 passed)
- `cd server && npx vitest run src/modules/run-dispatch
src/__tests__/heartbeat-undispatched-execution-wait.test.ts
src/__tests__/issue-queued-comments-routes.test.ts
src/services/explicit-native-continuation.test.ts
src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts
src/services/execution-continuation.test.ts`
- Safety cases in the new test:
- The redirect is saved, then delivered as exactly one successor run
with the original user's authority. The old provider run is not
executed.
- Input written before the Stop stays skipped and creates no successor.
- The UI Stop button uses the same `POST /heartbeat-runs/:id/cancel`
path. A comment with `interrupt: true` cancels through the same
`cancelRun` and then queues the comment wake. Both reach the same gate.
These were checked by code reading, not by a separate test.
- Not done: a live staging reproduction at the fixed revision.
Deployment is out of scope.

## Risks

- Behavior change: for sources without a native baseline, a post-Stop
message is now saved and delivered after recovery, instead of dropped.
Admission still blocks it until workspace repair is verified and the
previous execution has stopped. While blocked, the task shows "Your
message is saved."
- If admission never succeeds, the message stays saved and visible.
Before, it was silently lost.
- No schema or API change.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip b7ef307a65 fix(workspaces): wait for an ended writer's save instead of failing setup (#19074)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agent runs can use a remote task workspace in a sandbox. One writer
run at a time holds that workspace.
> - When a writer run ends, its workspace save and sandbox release
finish a few minutes later. The writer hold stays until then.
> - A new run that started in that interval failed with `setup_failed`:
"The workspace still has an unfinished writer or save operation."
> - A live writer already makes the new run wait (`workspace_busy`,
added in #18691). An ended writer that is still settling did not.
> - This pull request reports the ended writer as the holder too, so the
new run waits instead of failing.
> - The benefit is that work continues automatically after a short
settle interval. Users do not see a failed run and a blocked task.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18691

**What happened?**
A task run failed during workspace setup with `setup_failed` and the
error "The workspace still has an unfinished writer or save operation."
The previous run on the same task had ended a few seconds before. Its
sandbox lease was released 4 to 17 minutes later. A staging soak
recorded 31 of these failures over 14 tasks in about 29 hours.

**What did you expect to happen?**
The new run waits for the workspace, as it does when the previous writer
is still running. It continues when the save and release settle.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Bind a task to a remote workspace whose authority has `dirty: true`
and a `writerRunId` for a run with status `failed` that ended now.
2. Wake the task's agent.
3. The run fails with `setup_failed`. No retry is scheduled.

## What Changed

- `reserveRemoteWorkspace` now throws `RemoteWorkspaceWriterActiveError`
for an ended writer whose save or sandbox release has not settled.
Before, it threw a plain 409 conflict. The error keeps the same message,
status and `remote_workspace_writer_pending` code. It uses the writer's
`finishedAt` as its last activity and sets `ended: true`.
- Workspace preparation already converts that error to a
`workspace_busy` deferral with the one-hour holder cutoff. It now passes
`holderEnded` to the deferral.
- `WorkspaceBusyDeferral` says "ended, but its workspace save has not
settled" for an ended holder, instead of "is still running".
- A writer that is missing or has no task still gets the plain conflict,
as before.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md` describes the wait and its cutoff.

## Verification

- Red before the fix: the new test "waits for a writer that just ended
while its save or sandbox release settles" failed. The run had `status:
failed`, `errorCode: setup_failed`, `executionRecovery.kind: bootstrap`.
This is the same result as the staging failures.
- Green after the fix:
`cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-remote-workspace-busy.test.ts
src/services/remote-workspace-reservation.test.ts`
  (16 tests pass.)
- Safety cases in the new tests:
- The waiting run does not change the workspace authority. The unsaved
writer's files and hold stay unchanged.
- A writer that ended more than one hour ago still causes the
unfinished-writer setup failure, with no scheduled retry. The wait is
bounded.
- Existing cases still pass: live writer wait with Stop and
reassignment, the concurrent reservation race
(`remote_workspace_writer_pending`), and the unused-reservation
takeover.
- Also run: `remote-workspaces.integration.test.ts`,
`heartbeat-workspace-busy.test.ts`,
`remote-workspace-save-concurrency.test.ts`,
`workspace-recovery.test.ts`. All 6 suites pass (442 tests).
- Not done: a live run on staging at this revision. The fix is not
deployed.

## Risks

- A task whose ended writer never settles now makes up to about one hour
of short `workspace_busy` waits (one scheduled retry every 1 to 2
minutes) before it fails. Before, it failed at once. The end state after
the cutoff is the same.
- Some of the staging failures have other causes that this change does
not fix:
- A previous run that stays `running` with no output for more than one
hour still causes this failure, as intended.
- A dirty workspace whose writer ended without a saved result (for
example a workspace finalization retry that never runs) still blocks the
task after the cutoff. These need separate fixes.
- No schema, API or UI changes.

## Model Used

- Anthropic Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) in Claude Code, with
tool use (shell, browser reads of staging run records) and extended
reasoning.

3634c4a845 fix(chat): log the underlying error when a publication becomes delivery_unknown (#18875)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Chat connectors (Slack and others) publish agent messages to
external conversations through the publication worker
> - When the provider accepts a message but the local commit after the
send fails, the publication becomes `delivery_unknown`
> - A `delivery_unknown` row blocks the later publications in the same
conversation until an operator resolves it
> - The log line for this case contains only the generic reason. It
drops the error that the post-send commit threw
> - Operators cannot see why the commit failed, so they cannot tell a
race from a lease loss or another cause
> - This pull request adds the underlying error, redacted and
length-limited, to the existing warning for this case only
> - The benefit is that operators and maintainers can find the real
cause of stalled chat threads

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18874

I searched open and closed issues and pull requests for
`delivery_unknown`, Slack publication failures and "could not confirm
its durable result". I found no duplicate. #18874 describes the bug and
the proposed behavior fix. This pull request does not change behavior.
It only makes the cause visible.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/chat-channels/publications/failures.ts`: when
`providerAccepted` is true, the `chat publication failed` warning gets a
`cause` field. The field contains the underlying error message, redacted
with `redactSensitiveText` and limited to `MAX_ERROR_TEXT`, like the
existing `error` field.
- The stored `redactedError`, the disposition and the operator
resolution flow do not change.
- `server/src/__tests__/chat-run-milestone-work.test.ts`: the existing
`rechecks resolved prompt ownership after delivery ...` test now spies
on `logger.warn`. It asserts that `delivery_unknown` logs the `cause`,
and that `retry` and `failed` do not log it.

## Verification

- Ran in a `node:24-bookworm-slim` container on this branch:
- `npx vitest run src/__tests__/chat-run-milestone-work.test.ts` (in
`server/`): 72 passed.
  - `pnpm run typecheck` (in `server/`): passed.
- Negative check: I removed only the new `cause` field and ran the test
again. The two `delivery_unknown` cases failed. The `retry` and `failed`
cases passed.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change adds one field to one warning log line, only for
publications that the provider already accepted.
- The new field uses the same redaction and length limit as the existing
`error` field, so it does not add a new path for secrets into the log.

Svetlana ZolotenkovaandClaude Opus 5.5 bce9551a36 fix(recovery): skip successful-run handoff for routine executions (#9129)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies, and the
issue board is the surface those agents work from
> - Recovery is the subsystem that notices when an agent run finished
but left no next step, and hands the issue back so the work is not
silently dropped
> - `decideSuccessfulRunHandoff` implements that check: after a
successful run it looks for a valid disposition on the issue and
enqueues a corrective handoff wake when it finds none
> - Routine execution issues (`originKind = "routine_execution"`)
deliberately stay `in_progress` between cron fires — one open issue is
coalesced across dispatches through the
`issues_open_routine_execution_uq` unique index
> - Recovery read that intended steady state as a *missing* disposition,
so every successful routine run enqueued a handoff wake, exhausted its
single allowed attempt, and left the issue `blocked` with a
`source_scoped_recovery_action` that re-woke the assigned agent
> - This pull request exempts routine executions from the successful-run
handoff, mirroring the existing issue-monitor maintenance skip
(`isIssueMonitorMaintenanceRun`)
> - The benefit is that routines stop generating self-inflicted recovery
churn while genuine stranded issues keep being caught

## Issue

_No public issue exists for this yet; describing it inline per
CONTRIBUTING.md ("Link Issues or Describe Them In-PR"), following the
bug report template._

**What happened?**
After every successful run of a routine execution issue, recovery
enqueued a corrective handoff wake because the issue had no terminal
disposition. The single allowed handoff attempt was then exhausted and
the issue landed in `blocked` with an active
`source_scoped_recovery_action`, which re-woke the assigned agent.
Observed in production as roughly 27 runs per hour on a single
orphan-check routine, which additionally tripped a false productivity
review on the assigned agent.

**Expected behavior**
A successful routine run that leaves the routine execution issue
`in_progress` is the intended waiting state. Recovery should skip the
successful-run handoff for `routine_execution` issues and let the
routine lifecycle own their disposition.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create a routine that dispatches an execution issue on a short cron
interval.
2. Let one dispatched run complete successfully without writing a
terminal status on the routine execution issue.
3. Observe the corrective handoff wake, the exhausted attempt, and the
issue moving to `blocked` with an active source-scoped recovery action.
4. Repeat on the next cron fire — the cycle restarts and the run rate
climbs.

**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at the time this branch was cut; the guard is absent on current
`master`.

**Deployment mode / adapters / database**
Adapter-independent — the path is server-side in
`server/src/services/recovery/successful-run-handoff.ts`. Covered in
tests against embedded Postgres.

## What Changed

- `decideSuccessfulRunHandoff` returns `{ kind: "skip", reason: "routine
execution owns its own disposition" }` when `issue.originKind ===
"routine_execution"`, alongside the existing issue-monitor maintenance
skip.
- `originKind` was added to the handoff `IssueRow` projection and to the
issue select in `handleSuccessfulRunHandoff` in the heartbeat service,
so the guard has the field it needs.
- Added a regression test in `successful-run-handoff.test.ts` asserting
that a `routine_execution` issue is skipped rather than enqueued.

**Related PRs** (dedup search):
[#8622](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/8622) touches the
same routine-execution uniqueness index from the migration side;
[#6527](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/6527)
auto-resolves stale source recovery actions, which is the symptom this
PR stops producing. No PR was found that implements this guard.

## Verification

- `cd server && pnpm exec vitest run src/services/recovery --config
vitest.config.ts` — recovery suites pass.
- `cd server && pnpm exec vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts --config
vitest.config.ts` — passes; 59 tests across both suites.
- Regression check: with the `routine_execution` guard removed, the new
test falls through to `enqueue` and fails; with the guard it passes.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — clean.

## Risks

- Low risk, behavioural only. No schema change and no migration in this
change.
- The guard is narrow: it keys on `originKind === "routine_execution"`,
so ordinary assigned issues keep their existing successful-run handoff
behaviour unchanged.
- If a routine execution issue ever did need corrective handoff, it
would now be skipped. That trade-off is deliberate — the routine
lifecycle already owns these issues, and the coalescing unique index
guarantees at most one open issue per routine.

**Review request (2026-08-19).** Rechecked against `master` a5f3ac6b4:
`decideSuccessfulRunHandoff` skips on `hasActiveRoutineContinuation`
(another live run on the same issue) but never on `originKind ===
"routine_execution"`, so a routine issue coalesced across fires still
draws a missing-disposition handoff. Green and merges cleanly.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `04a24f4e06`.

**Deployment mode**

Any deployment that uses a native Runner with Codex.

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 2c39a2866b feat(plugins): let managed config grant worker variables to a plugin (#19049)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A managed instance gets its plugins from the control plane, and
people do not install them
> - Some of these plugins need deployment values, such as a service
origin and a capability
> - The plugin worker environment is scrubbed, and only a fixed list of
first-party providers gets deployment variables
> - Core also sends lifecycle events and project instance secrets only
to plugins with a saved config row
> - So a provisioned plugin cannot work until a person saves
configuration for it
> - This pull request lets the managed config grant named variables to a
selected plugin
> - The benefit is that a distribution plugin can run with no tenant
configuration, and Core does not need to name it

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No issue exists. This describes the problem. I searched open pull
requests for related work and found no duplicate.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

How a plugin provisioned through `plugins.autoInstall` receives its
deployment settings.

**Current behavior**

`buildPluginWorkerEnv` forwards variables only from a fixed list that
names first-party packages. A distribution plugin cannot be on that list
without Core naming it. A plugin with no `pluginConfig` row gets no
resource lifecycle events, and project instance secrets refuse it.

**Proposed behavior**

The managed config can include `plugins.workerEnv`. It maps a catalog
key to variable names. The worker of that plugin receives those
variables from the server process environment. The managed config can
also include `plugins.enabledCompanies`. It maps a catalog key to
company IDs. In those companies, the plugin gets lifecycle events and
can use project instance secrets with no config row.

**Reason and benefit**

The control plane stays the only place that decides which plugin gets
which values. Tenants do not handle these values, and they are not in
the database or in the managed config document.

**Alternatives considered**

- Create a config or enablement row for each company. The control plane
would need a new tenant write API, and a row can stay after the document
removes access or return after a database restore. The document is never
saved, like the other managed settings.
- Give a grant access to every company. This has no per-company opt-in.
- Put the values in the managed config document. The document does not
hold secrets, and this rule stays true because it holds only names.

## What Changed

- `parseManagedConfigEnv` accepts an optional `plugins.workerEnv`
object. Each key must be in `plugins.autoInstall`. Names must be
uppercase variable names, with no duplicates.
- Startup fails if a name looks like a host credential, such as a name
with `KEY`, `TOKEN`, `SECRET`, `PASSWORD`, `DATABASE` or `JWT` as a
word, or if it controls how the worker loads code, such as
`NODE_OPTIONS`.
- `parseManagedConfigEnv` accepts an optional `plugins.enabledCompanies`
object. Each key must be in `plugins.autoInstall`. Values must be
lowercase company UUIDs, with no duplicates.
- `managedPluginWorkerEnvGrant` and `managedPluginEnabledCompanies`
return values by plugin key. A managed instance only starts a selected
plugin from the current image, so the saved package path is not part of
this check. It can be old or null.
- `buildPluginWorkerEnv` forwards granted variables. This does not
depend on the `environment.drivers.register` capability.
- Plugin lifecycle delivery includes a plugin with no config row only
for the companies the document names. It still skips a company that
disabled the plugin. The runtime event listener follows the same rule.
- Project instance secrets accept a plugin with no config row only for a
company the document names.
- A variable grant alone gives no company access.
- `doc/plugins/DISTRIBUTION-PLUGINS.md` describes both sections.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run` in `server/` on `managed-config`,
`managed-plugin-worker-env`, `plugin-lifecycle-delivery`,
`project-instance-secrets`, `plugin-database` and `bundled-plugins`: 201
tests pass.
- The new tests cover a digest-verified distribution plugin, a stale
saved package path, a catalog key named after an inherited property, a
company the document does not name, a company that disabled the plugin,
a named company that does not exist, a grant with no enabled company,
and host credential names.
- `tsc --noEmit` in `server/` shows no errors in the changed files. My
worktree does not have the built `@paperclipai/paperclip-runner`
package, so unrelated files show errors locally. CI runs the full
typecheck.
- I did not run the full test suite locally. CI runs it.
- I did not test this change on a running instance.

## Risks

- **Older builds:** a build without this change refuses a document with
`plugins.workerEnv` or `plugins.enabledCompanies`, because it fails
closed on unknown keys. A control plane must send these sections only to
a build that supports them.
- **Trust:** the granted plugin gets the variable values in its process.
The image owner and the control plane already trust this plugin. The
name check stops a mistake with host credentials, but a name check
cannot prove that a value is not sensitive. Core cannot use an
allowlist, because it must not name the variables of a private plugin.
- **Company scope:** the control plane sets which companies a plugin
serves. A new company needs a new document, and the server reads the
document when it starts. Self-hosted instances do not change.
- **Rotation:** a new value reaches the worker only when the server
restarts. Rotation without a restart is not part of this change.
- **Background calls:** a grant does not add proactive company access. A
plugin that makes background calls with no invocation still needs a
saved config for that company.
- This changes core plugin behavior, and I did not discuss it in `#dev`
first. Maintainers can tell me if they want a discussion before review.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

The new worker test runs these steps against PostgreSQL.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `69dea878c0b`.

**Deployment mode**

Any server with native runs that use remote sandbox workspaces.

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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


## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

801d9548e3 test(server): cover competing recovery action inserts (#18773)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Recovery owners record one active action for each task source.
> - Two owners can read an empty source before either inserts its
action.
> - PostgreSQL rejects one insert, and Drizzle wraps that conflict.
> - The production fix for wrapped conflicts already landed in #18885.
> - This pull request adds a real database race test for that fix.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18885 and #18544. Related recovery work: #18402 and #18705.

**What happened?**

[CI run
41585908789](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41585908789/job/125752385968)
failed with `issue_recovery_actions_active_source_uq`. The recovery
worker did not handle the wrapped PostgreSQL conflict. #18885 now
provides the production fix.

**Expected behavior**

Both competing recovery owners return the same active action. The
existing bounded retry handles the exact wrapped unique constraint.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a task in real PostgreSQL.
2. Hold both recovery inserts until both owners read an empty source.
3. Release both writes.
4. Check that the losing transaction records a wrapped `23505` conflict
and both service calls return one action.

## What Changed

- Retain the newer bounded cause-chain handling from #18885.
- Add a deterministic database race test. Check the actual wrapped
conflict, both returned action IDs, the saved action count, and the
attempt count.
- Keep the original real-clock settlement and idle-window assertions.

## Verification

- The two owning suites passed **98/98 tests** after resolving the
conflict: `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/issue-recovery-dependencies.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-recovery-actions.test.ts`.
- Workspace typechecks passed across the root run and a successful
server rerun. The first server attempt could not resolve the local
plugin SDK from provider sources. Restoring that checkout-only SDK link
fixed resolution. The server typecheck rerun passed.
- Full local `pnpm test:run` has not run. The current local full build
stopped after the host exhausted disk space during native compilation.
Generated caches were removed from this checkout; no source or test
setting changed. Fresh CI is complete: 53 successful checks, two
expected skips and one neutral security scan. The branch is mergeable,
and the exact-head Greptile review is 5/5 with zero unresolved threads.
- Greptile scored current head
`dbaee78272a5b0f1db87ba33340a63571ef16948` **5/5** with no actionable
findings.
- Historical red proof: before wrapped-conflict handling, this race
returned one rejection. The losing transaction carried PostgreSQL code
`23505` and constraint `issue_recovery_actions_active_source_uq`.
- Preserve prior CI evidence: an [old serialized
job](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41649267044/job/125964435813)
hit an agent-audit setup timeout and a heartbeat wait failure. The exact
timing cause remained unproven. Its [single
rerun](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41649267044/job/125972675510)
passed. This PR changes no waits or assertions in those tests.

## Risks

- Low risk. The final diff adds one database regression test. It changes
no production code, schema, API, permissions, runner routing, or
workflows.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol (`gpt-6.1-sol`), xhigh reasoning, tool use, and
code execution.

Devin Foley 69dea878c0 fix(sentry): prove a native capacity retry from its successor run (#19051)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server sends unexpected run failures to Sentry as run-failure
events
> - A native Codex run can fail because the model is at capacity.
Paperclip then schedules a bounded automatic retry
> - #18295 keeps that scheduled retry out of Sentry. It requires the
committed finalization fields on the failed run row
> - On staging, the failed run row can lose `finalizationReasonCode`
after the decision is committed. The retry run exists, but the report
still goes to Sentry
> - This pull request uses the successor retry run as the proof, and
stops reading the run's own finalization fields
> - The benefit is that a capacity failure that has a scheduled retry
does not make Sentry noise. Exhausted and held failures still report

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18295

**What happened?**
A native Codex run failed with `native_provider_overloaded`. The status
decision scheduled the capacity retry, and the retry run was created.
The server still sent a run-failure event to Sentry. The server release
contained #18295. The failed run row had `finalizationPhase:
"committed"`, but it did not have `finalizationReasonCode`. The retry
run was created about two seconds before the failed run's terminal
write.

**Expected behavior**
When the committed capacity decision creates a retry run, the failure
stays local. The retry owns recovery. A later failure of the retry
reports its own outcome.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Make a native Codex run fail with a typed `codex`/`server_overloaded`
diagnostic.
2. Let the status decision schedule the `native_provider_overloaded`
retry.
3. Let a late terminal write replace the run's `resultJson` with a
version that does not have `finalizationReasonCode`.
4. Report the run failure. Before this change, Sentry gets an event.

**Additional context**
Only the committed `schedule_retry` effect in
`status-decision-committer.ts` creates a successor with
`scheduledRetryReason = native_provider_overloaded` (through
`materializeNativeProviderCapacityRetry`). Thus the successor row is a
stronger proof than the run's own finalization fields.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/run-failure-report.ts`:
`isScheduledNativeCapacityRetry` no longer requires `finalizationPhase
=== "committed"` or `finalizationReasonCode ===
"native_provider_overloaded"` on the failed run. It still requires a
failed native run with `errorCode = native_provider_overloaded`, the
typed `codex`/`server_overloaded` diagnostic, a native task, no signal,
and a phase that is not setup. It still requires the successor run for
the same task with `retryOfRunId = run.id` and `scheduledRetryReason =
native_provider_overloaded`. The successor lookup and its index use do
not change.
- `server/src/services/__tests__/run-failure-report.test.ts`: two new
cases. A scheduled retry stays local when the run row has no
finalization fields, and when the row has an earlier finalization phase.
The "finalization is not committed" must-report case changes to
"finalization has no fields and no retry run exists". That case still
reports.
- `doc/observability.md`: describes the successor-run proof.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/__tests__/run-failure-report.test.ts`: 284 tests pass.
- Red check: with the `master` version of `run-failure-report.ts`, the
two new cases fail. Each one captures one Sentry event. All other 282
tests pass.
- `npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-provider-failure.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/status-arbiter.test.ts`: 73 tests pass.
- I could not load `native-provider-overload.integration.test.ts` in my
local sandbox because of a missing environment setting. CI runs it.
- Exhausted, held, other-lane, other-task, no-task, legacy, setup,
signal and untyped-diagnostic failures still report. The existing
must-report cases prove this.

## Risks

Low risk. The change removes two field checks. The successor-run check
stays. Only the committed capacity decision creates a successor with
this retry reason, so a failure without a scheduled retry still reports.
No migration. No change to the retry behavior.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

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

Devin FoleyandClaude Opus 5.5 72d80944a9 fix(skills): keep the skill cache lock transaction active (#18996)
Replaces #17907. That branch conflicted with `master` after #17918 added
preparation timing to the same function. This branch applies the same
fix on current `master` and keeps that timing.

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Before a run starts, the server prepares the agent's skills while

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #16340
Refs #16956
Supersedes #17907

**What happened?**

A hosted staging run failed during setup with `write CONNECTION_CLOSED
<neon-pooler-host>:5432`. The run trace shows `skills.prepare` running
for 322 seconds before it failed. That is longer than Neon's 5-minute
`idle_in_transaction_session_timeout`. The stack ends in
`postgres/src/connection.js` (`TLSSocket.closed`).

**Expected behavior**

Skill preparation holds the skill cache lock until it finishes, and no
other preparation for the same company can enter the locked section
during that time. The run then continues to execution.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Set `idle_in_transaction_session_timeout` on the database role to
`1s`.
2. Call `withSkillVersionCacheLock` with an action that waits longer
than 1 second.
3. Without this change, a second `tryOnly` call for the same company
gets the lock while the first call still holds it. The first call then
fails with `write CONNECTION_CLOSED` instead of returning its own result
or error.

## What Changed

- After `withSkillVersionCacheLock` gets the lock and records the
`skills.cache.acquire` phase, it reads
`idle_in_transaction_session_timeout`. It then runs the action inside
the existing `withWorkspaceLockKeepalive` helper. The helper sends
`select 1` on the lock transaction every third of the timeout, and at
least every 30 seconds. When the timeout is 0 (disabled), the helper
does nothing.
- The `.catch` from `master` that ends the timing phase on failure is
kept.
- Added `skill-version-cache-lock.test.ts`. It runs against real
embedded Postgres with a 1-second idle timeout, following the same
pattern as `isolated-remote-workspace-source-lock.test.ts`.
- The edited file no longer has an extra blank line at the end. This is
whitespace only.

## Verification

All checks below ran on this branch's tree, which is `master` at
afbc5a88 plus this change.

- **Red on current `master`:** both new tests fail against the unpatched
`master` source. The overlap test gets the lock a second time (`promise
resolved "'overlap'" instead of rejecting`). The failure test gets
`write CONNECTION_CLOSED 127.0.0.1:<port>` instead of the original
error, which is the same error as in production.
- **Green with the fix:** `skill-version-cache-lock.test.ts` and
`native-workspace-lock-keepalive.test.ts` pass (8 tests).
- **Related suites pass:** 13 files and 245 tests, covering
`execution-preparation-timing`, `isolated-remote-workspace-source-lock`,
`company-skills` (service, runtime concurrency and runtime selection),
every `skill-version-*` suite and `heartbeat-execution-configuration`.
- **Other checks:** `node scripts/check-module-boundaries.mjs` and `git
diff --check` pass.
- **Not run locally:** the full server `tsc`, because the sandbox has an
8 GB memory limit. CI has to confirm it.
- **Not done:** a live run on hosted staging. That will show after the
normal rollout.

On #17907, CI failed in `environment-cleanup-work.test.ts` (an
off-by-one call count) and `chat-channels.integration.test.ts` (reply
ordering). Neither test touches the skill cache lock. This branch runs
CI again on current `master`.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change runs only inside the existing lock transaction.
The work still uses the ordinary pool, so a one-slot pool cannot
deadlock.
- Each lock adds one `pg_settings` read. A long lock adds one `select 1`
at least every 30 seconds.
- If a keepalive query fails, the helper ignores the failure, and the
work's own result or error is unchanged. The other locks behave the same
way.
- This change does not explain why preparation took more than 5 minutes.
That is a separate performance question.

DottaandPaperclip 31266d7159 fix(logs): drain existing admissions before finalization (#19055)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Run logs retain execution output for operators.
> - Object storage uses bounded admission and asynchronous uploads.
> - A diagnostic can wait for capacity when its native execution ends.
> - Finalization closed the writer before that existing admission could
finish.
> - This pull request joins those admissions before it closes the log.
> - The benefit is complete accepted output with the existing storage
bounds.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18944 and #18327.

**What happened?**

A runner close diagnostic began object-log admission before its recorder
retired. The call waited at the 8 MiB pending-byte bound. Completion
then closed the writer. The waiting call failed with `Object run log
writer is closed`. A valid final log hash covered the stored prefix, but
the diagnostic was absent.

**Expected behavior**

Finalization must retain calls that started before closure. It must
reject new calls after closure. Cancellation and storage failures must
still settle without a success claim.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Use the actual recorder and segmented object store with a controlled
conditional upload.
2. Fill the pending-byte bound. Start native warm-session retirement
while the diagnostic waits for capacity.
3. Complete the run through the real completion handler. Release the
upload.
4. Check the diagnostic bytes, final hash, source coverage, and warning
rows.

## What Changed

- Track active admission promises in each object-log writer.
- Reject new producers when finalization starts. Join existing bounded
admissions, then flush their tail before manifest closure.
- Add actual completion coverage and store controls for failure, Stop,
global capacity, and independent writers.
- Clarify the finalization contract in the storage documentation. Keep
feature maps unchanged for this routine fix.

## Verification

- Before the fix, the actual completion probe lost a pre-retirement
close diagnostic and emitted `object_log_persistence_failed`. Useful
canonical output, source coverage, and the final prefix hash remained
valid.
- After the fix, the exact probe retains the diagnostic and checks the
stored bytes and full hash. Ordinary completion and stalled local append
controls also pass.
- Focused store controls pass, including shared 64 MiB capacity,
new-producer rejection, storage failure, Stop, and independent writer
progress.
- Production and test source at
`bc03f8d53a721f01f80a12105a69d8583865e651`: 3 actual completion controls
and 53 store, recorder, journal, and diagnostic tests pass. Run with
`node node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run` from `server/`; select the
four safety files plus the completion file with `-t "retired recorder"`
in a separate invocation.
- Initial treatment repository typechecks and build pass. Current map
and module checks pass. A broader four-suite run had 99 passing
assertions but failed its existing 30-second completion teardown hook. A
later isolated completion run passed all 61 cases at the same limits.
The original teardown cause remains unresolved; no timeout was changed.
- Repository typechecks and build pass at that source commit. Current
head `6652adc7f3379ae250f7b726dad6c58c8482410f` removes only the
incidental map paragraph; production and test source are identical. All
current-head checks are terminal: 54 successful check runs, one
successful legacy status, and three skipped checks. Required `ci /
verify` and `ci / e2e` pass. Greptile reviewed exact current head at
5/5. Both review threads are resolved. GitHub reports the PR clean and
mergeable. Full repository tests stopped in chat shard 2: a GitHub
recovery fair-batch test expected no provider requests but observed `GET
/app/hook/config`. Its exact unchanged case passes in isolation. The
original cause remains unresolved; this full-suite run is red.
First-head remote server lane 2 failed a native-reassessment backlog
test: its quiet check observed two active work items instead of zero.
The exact unchanged case passes locally. That original CI cause remains
unresolved; no job retry or timeout change was made. Other first-head CI
lanes passed. The first native review rated the earlier source head 4/5
for the same removed map note. That is not a current-head assessment.
Current GitHub rules require zero approving reviews and only the two CI
checks above; a fresh native advisory re-review is optional and remains
unavailable while its earlier run has an unresolved workspace/accounting
obligation. That obligation is tracked separately and is not claimed
recovered.
- Removed the incidental map paragraph identified by Greptile and the
native review. The follow-up contains no runtime or test changes.
- This proves the local production-path mechanism. It does not attribute
any specific hosted warning to this cause. Hosted replay and served
revision checks remain separate acceptance work.

## Risks

Finalization now waits for existing bounded capacity admissions. Storage
cancellation and the existing operation deadlines still apply. Tests
check that failed uploads and Stop settle, and that a separate writer
can make progress. No capacity limit, timeout, or execution authority
changes.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol`, through Codex, with reasoning and tool execution.
Context window size is not exposed by the host.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

**Paperclip version or commit**

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

c19c4348c5 fix(server): record inspector provenance for dynamic import callback errors (#17844)
<!-- entire-trail-link-start -->
https://entire.com/gh/paperclipai/-/trails/49/changes/paperclip/49
<!-- entire-trail-link-end -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server sends errors to Sentry when an operator sets a backend
DSN. An unhandled rejection is captured in `strict` mode, so the server
process exits after the capture.
> - A hosted server reported `TypeError
[ERR_VM_DYNAMIC_IMPORT_CALLBACK_MISSING]: A dynamic import callback was
not specified.` two times, eight days apart, on two unrelated releases.
Each event stopped the process.
> - The stack has no first-party frame. An anonymous `setTimeout`
callback at `<anonymous>:1:N` calls `import()`. The column changed
between the two events, so the source text changed.
> - In local reproduction, only two paths make that frame:
`vm.compileFunction` without a filename, and an expression that a client
evaluates through the Node inspector. No shipped server code or
production dependency uses either path. The current events give no data
about the source.
> - This pull request adds bounded provenance to that one error: the
inspector state when the event is reported (never its URL), allow-listed
Node flag names, the process ids, the main-thread flag and the uptime.
> - The benefit is that the next event gives evidence about the source
of the anonymous code. A `closed` state rules out an expression from a
still-open inspector session. An `open` state needs other evidence
before a debugger is blamed.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists. This section follows the bug report template.

**What happened?**

A hosted server process stopped two times with an unhandled rejection:
`TypeError [ERR_VM_DYNAMIC_IMPORT_CALLBACK_MISSING]: A dynamic import
callback was not specified.` The stack is
`importModuleDynamicallyCallback (node:internal/modules/esm/utils:280)`
← `Timeout._onTimeout (<anonymous>:1:20)` (first event) or
`(<anonymous>:1:41)` (second event) ← `listOnTimeout`. The events came 3
minutes and 17 minutes after process start, on two releases that changed
only skill documents and UI files. The Sentry event has no data that
shows where the anonymous code came from.

**Expected behavior**

The error report gives enough data to investigate the source of the
anonymous code: whether an inspector session was open in the process,
and which inspector-related Node flags were set.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. `node -e "require('node:vm').compileFunction(\"setTimeout(() =>
import('node:fs'), 1)\", [])()"` gives the same error and the same
`Timeout._onTimeout (<anonymous>:1:N)` frame.
2. An expression such as `setTimeout(() => import('node:fs'), 1)`,
evaluated through the inspector (`Runtime.evaluate`), gives the same
error and frame.
3. `vm.Script` (`evalmachine.<anonymous>`), `eval` or `new Function` in
a `vm` context (`eval at …`), `new Function`, indirect `eval`, `node
-e`, `node -p` and stdin give a different frame or import successfully.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `0cb3fc7db591ba23e21fbbc70042bc44ec7d6f20`. The hosted
events came from builds `f96a1e64` and `3e7c3ee9`, on Node v24.22.0 and
v24.22.1.

**Relevant subsystem**

Server Sentry error monitoring (`server/src/sentry.ts`).

## What Changed

- New `server/src/sentry-dynamic-import-provenance.ts`:
`addDynamicImportProvenance(event, hint)` acts only when
`hint.originalException.code` is
`ERR_VM_DYNAMIC_IMPORT_CALLBACK_MISSING`. It adds:
- the tag `dynamic_import_inspector` with the value `open`, `closed` or
`unavailable`
- the context `dynamic_import_provenance` with `inspector`, `nodeFlags`,
`mainThread`, `pid`, `ppid` and `uptimeSeconds`
- `nodeFlags` holds only the names of `--inspect`, `--inspect-brk`,
`--inspect-wait`, `--inspect-port`, `--debug-port`, `--disable-sigusr1`
and `--experimental-vm-modules` from `execArgv` and `NODE_OPTIONS`. Flag
values and all other flags are dropped.
- The hook never sends the inspector URL, because the URL contains a
session secret. It loads `node:inspector` lazily, so a Node build
without the inspector still starts and reports `unavailable`. The hook
never throws. Every other event is unchanged.
- The module comment and the doc say that the state is evidence at
report time, not proof of origin.
- `server/src/sentry.ts`: `beforeSend` is now `enrichServerEvent`. It
runs the existing run-link enrichment, then the new hook.
- `doc/observability.md`: the default capture set names the new tag and
context, and says what is never sent.
- `.github/workflows/sentry-contract.yml`: the Real Sentry SDK isolation
job also runs the new test file.
- Tests in
`server/src/__tests__/sentry-dynamic-import-provenance.test.ts`:
  - the real Node error from `vm.compileFunction`
- a real open inspector session: the URL and its secret are absent from
the event. The test closes only the session it opened, and it skips when
a developer already has an inspector open.
  - flag filtering with values and other flags present in `NODE_OPTIONS`
  - other codes and other hint shapes stay unchanged
  - a failed state read keeps the original event
- the real `@sentry/node@10.71.0` SDK sends the original rejection to
the server `beforeSend`, and enriches only the matching event. With
`PAPERCLIP_REQUIRE_SENTRY_TEST_SDK=1`, a missing SDK fails the file.

## Verification

- With the audited SDK on `NODE_PATH` and
`PAPERCLIP_REQUIRE_SENTRY_TEST_SDK=1`, as in the contract job:
`run-failure-sentry-real-sdk.test.ts` and the new test file pass (17
tests).
- Without the SDK: the new test file, `sentry.test.ts` and
`sentry-links.test.ts` pass (52 pass, 6 skipped).
- With `PAPERCLIP_REQUIRE_SENTRY_TEST_SDK=1` and no SDK: the new test
file fails at once, as intended.
- Red: with `beforeSend` set back to `addSentryRunLinks`, the real-SDK
test fails (`expected [] to have a length of 1`). Green with the change.
- Hosted CI on this head: typecheck, build, all test partitions and Real
Sentry SDK isolation pass.
- Not run locally: the full Vitest suite and browser suites. A live
hosted check is not possible before deployment.

## Risks

- Low risk. The hook acts only on one error code. All other events keep
their current content and grouping.
- The process still exits after the capture, as before. This change adds
diagnostics. It does not fix the source of the anonymous code.
- `pid`, `ppid` and uptime describe the server process only. They hold
no tenant, user or request data.
- If a later Node version changes the error code, the hook stops acting
and the events are the same as today.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
Loaded lists, settings, task panels, and manual reads could clear their
content or show errors during a server restart. Some reads also disabled
the shared retry policy.

**Expected behavior**
Keep loaded content during a temporary failure. Show the shared
connection banner. Retry reads after recovery. Replace content after a
real access denial or missing resource, with readable copy.

**Steps to reproduce**
Open a task, settings page, or run log. Return 503 with
`tenant_app_unavailable` from the API. Restore the API and check that
content refreshes. Repeat with 403 and 404 to check the failure state.

Related merged work: Refs #15754, Refs #15772, Refs #17960. This change
covers remaining reads and enforcement. Browser persistence and the
outage browser suite follow separately.

## What Changed

- Repair an existing PostgreSQL deadline fixture at UTC boundaries. A
daily cap defers a heartbeat until both its original interval and the
next UTC day allow it. Keep the counted run in its seeded day and cover
noon, just before midnight and the first second after midnight with
explicit clocks and real PostgreSQL. Production scheduling is unchanged.

- Integrate the saved list, settings, shell, task, and manual-read
recovery changes against current master. Preserve the current task,
Inbox, and run-log structure.
- Add `useResilientFetch` for component-local reads. Preserve loaded
data, cancel stale requests, and retry through the shared connectivity
policy. Keep browser and pairing capabilities in memory.
- Retain run log chunks across stream changes and catch up after
recovery without duplicate chunks or stalled requests.
- Keep genuine authorization and missing-resource failures visible.
Translate known single-word codes such as `forbidden`. Show known skills
and disconnected-app failures before sibling loading states. Keep Retry
bound to its failed request.
- Make the query-error guard enforce by default and run it in the CI
policy job. Document the narrow exceptions and the read recovery
contract.
- Invalidate pending OAuth discovery when the operator leaves setup or
its context changes. Keep reserved-popup cleanup bound to the current
attempt.

## Verification

- Current read head `09d1db29dea` is merge-ready: all 59 check runs are
completed (54 successful, three skipped, two neutral), the legacy Snyk
status is successful, and both required `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e`
gates pass. Greptile Apex reviewed this exact head at 5/5 with no
unresolved threads; the branch has no merge conflicts. The current CI
run is `41748339602`.
- Current read head `09d1db29dea` includes master `683fa4725e9`. The
latest change touches only the existing server deadline test fixture.
Application source remains the previously verified `86376fa751e`
revision: all 60 affected skills/disconnected-app tests and both
application UI typechecks passed, along with token gates and the
enforcing query-error guard. Those UI suites were not repeated for this
test-only repair.
- The fixture repair passes all seven deadline integration cases and the
complete server typecheck, including the server test layer. The old
assertion deterministically fails at 23:59:06.888 UTC; its
one-second-old run also fails the first-second-of-day probe. The
corrected fixture passes noon and both midnight probes. The permanent
three-case coverage uses seeded 2099 clocks.
- Twelve new regressions fail against the previous implementation. Both
skills variants and disconnected-app pages show either request's 403 or
429 while the sibling pauses or remains fetching. Permission failures
stay visible. Retry stays usable for its failed request and recovers
independently. An initial test-fixture query-key typo was corrected
before the passing run. The finding is replied to and resolved. Greptile
reviewed prior application revision `86376fa751e` at 5/5 with no new
actionable findings or unresolved threads. The current test-only head
has now received its own Apex 5/5 review with no unresolved threads, and
its CI is successful as recorded above.
- The preceding OAuth fix passed all 237 setup tests on both application
branches. Its ten regressions prove that Back, Cancel, unmount, or
context changes retire initial discovery without creating a connection,
caching old identities, navigating an abandoned popup, or closing a
newer attempt.
- Earlier master integration `e992f770339` passed all 309 tests across
eight affected Slack, recovery, retry, submission and task files, plus
UI typecheck, token gates, enforcing query-error scan and seven guard
tests. The integration preserves Slack workspace reconnect and shared
recovery, readable execution errors, source-inspection company scoping,
and current submission behavior. Newly inherited retained-file recovery
controls keep cached data through transient failures and hide it after
definitive denial.
- The preceding cache head `97c0bc3966f` passed 1,038 focused
cache/write/editor/account/task/API tests. All 22 built-UI
outage/write/loading cases passed in 4.7 minutes on exact browser head
`b7deaaee5da`, with strict checking of all three specs. The latest
skills/app rendering fix is covered by its affected component suites;
those broader cases were not repeated for this separate read path.
- Historical broader UI, CLI and build results and unresolved aggregate
server/DB/adapter failures remain in the PR discussion. Interrupted CI
runs were audited and recorded separately; they are not counted as
passes. Controlled local outages do not prove hosted authentication or a
real Cloud restart/deploy. Real hosted acceptance remains required after
merge and deployment.

Commands for the latest fix:

```sh
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run src/pages/CompanySkills.test.tsx src/pages/apps/AppNotConnected.test.tsx
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck
pnpm check:token-gates
node scripts/check-query-error-rendering.mjs --enforce --summary
```

## Risks

This migration touches many read surfaces. The main risks are initial
loading, request cancellation, retained authorization state, and run-log
paging. The tests cover those states. There are no server, schema,
dependency, or API contract changes. The follow-up browser suite and
hosted deploy acceptance are required before release acceptance.

Recovered commits retain their original authors. If squash-merging,
preserve `Co-Authored-By: Bender (Fable) <bender@agents.paperclip.ing>`
and the Paperclip trailer.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` through Codex, with xhigh reasoning effort, tool
use, and code execution. The context window size is not exposed. Saved
source commits keep their original authorship.

DottaandPaperclip 52b4b3ccd7 test(evals): pin native credential delivery and worker receipt fixes (#19042)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip must deliver agent work through ordinary human controls.
> - The latest three-case run retained three failed originals.
> - The personal value was saved, but the native OpenCode child did not
receive the configured task environment.
> - A worker proof also relied on legacy process identity fields outside
that environment contract.
> - Timeline and credential checks had independent review defects that
could reject truthful outcomes or miss unsafe instructions.
> - This PR pins the reviewed fixes together and keeps all prior grades
unchanged.
> - A new AWS measurement must still prove the real outcome.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18963, #18967, #18968, #18971, #18972, #18977, #19027, #19031.
Follows merged #18995. This is the next infrastructure pin, not another
core implementation PR.

The latest launch 2657 retained FAILED originals for timeline,
approved-tool replay and personal secret. The personal journey reached
secure UI save and a worker wake, but the worker reported no credential
and made no endpoint call. These are failed attempts, not new passes.
Six of the selected ten cases have independent passes across prior
attempts. The uniform final ten and the full catalog remain unqualified.
No old result was regraded.

## What Changed

- Pin immutable candidate `c6cc59282a45ed3c79880a220f7f60aa3ac1d6a4` on
`codex/chat-credential-destination-contract-candidate-20261104`.
- Retain the frozen candidate baseline. Add the accepted failed-action
completion feedback hint, canonical configured environment delivery to
OpenCode, actual native worker output receipt checks, timeline
attribution controls, and credential clause safety checks. The feedback
change leaves the existing acceptance gate in place.
- Declare exactly seven oracle-version changes: timeline v5 to v6;
personal v5 to v6; company v4 to v5; secure API key, least-scope
delivery, secret proposal and vault reference each external v1 to v2.
The four external cases have explicit overrides; the shared default is
unchanged.
- Sync the manifest rows, explicit changed-field records, descriptor
snapshot and expected target. Preserve all 244 identities, original
queries, human/native counts, clocks, model, profile, launcher bytes,
privacy limits and the existing 196/244 qualification gate.
- Include the reviewed retry cancellation readiness fixture repair from
`815d47e4b5d7756367d2c5e2da656b640273eac2` in this infrastructure PR
only. It awaits the first scheduled batch before polling its state. Its
production behavior and assertions are unchanged. This test repair is
absent from the model candidate.
- Keep the core PRs, including #19027 and #19031, unmerged. A normal
merge of this pin does not merge those PRs.

## Verification

- Pin-local checks: all 189 existing manifest, TestOps API, adapter,
reconciliation and streaming controls passed. The reviewed 815 fixture
repair passed its owning real-PG control (one selected test). A
temporary delayed-first-batch control failed with the old observer and
passed with the new observer. Batch limits, assertions, drain wait and
overall budget are unchanged. The original CI cause remains unknown.
- Final candidate: 89 credential/receipt consumer controls passed. The
exact Runner TypeScript build, 68 driver controls and one owning
failed-action PG control passed before the later helper-only changes.
Their runtime inputs remain byte-identical; those results are reused
explicitly, not claimed as new executions on every source commit.
- Real pinned OpenCode 1.18.34 executed a canned local-provider bash
call. Synthetic `PUBLISHING_API_KEY` reached its child in a 2.89-second
passing control with zero paid provider calls. This proves
server-to-bash inheritance; driver spawn controls cover the preceding
projection boundary. Actual AWS secure-entry, worker delivery and
privacy acceptance remain pending.
- **The latest local candidate declaration loader is NOT GREEN.** It
exceeded its unchanged 30-second limit in both a combined run and an
isolated run. Five other declaration/contract checks passed. Both
failures remain recorded. No timeout was widened and no further retry
occurred. Descriptor and definition modules match the earlier passing
5aa source; only the transitive credential helper changed. Prior
242-declaration evidence supports unchanged definitions only, not a
claim that these failed executions passed.
- The snapshot matches the candidate and exactly seven oracle-version
leaves differ from source 249. All 244 identities, queries, run/human
counts, clocks, model, profile, launcher and privacy limits remain
unchanged. The SDK guard reports 506 unchanged inputs, unchanged runtime
pins and registry
`efa70621e9fb42aa185f7ee616a1a726aa3eccb367e67e28817cedf26ef2ade8`. The
driver is outside those SDK roots. No SDK renewal occurred.
Reporting-lock and whitespace checks passed.
- Genuine exact-head reviews: source 19e3 is 5/5 with no unresolved
threads; current pin 988 is 5/5 with no unresolved threads. The prior
pin 4/5 and resolved P1 remain historical. Current exact-head normal CI
41917215227 completed successfully: 48 successful jobs and one selector
skip, including final verify job 126888275415. Windows 41917215440
succeeded. The full PR rollup is 56 successes and three intentional
skips, with no pending or failed checks. Older green heads do not
qualify this head. Paperclip has only an earlier-head 5/5 assessment,
which is stale for this head and receives no current assessment credit.
- Six of ten cases have independent passes across prior attempts. Launch
2657 retains three FAILED originals; no grade was changed. The next
measurement is the exact uniform ten, cap eight and zero automatic
retries. No uniform-ten or full-catalog acceptance is claimed.
- The local-tests checkbox below covers only the 189 pin controls and
owning fixture control. It does not claim all candidate or repository
tests are green. Full local repository checks were not repeated for this
infrastructure diff. Core PRs remain unmerged. No model call, eval
dispatch, private archive read, fleet change or merge occurred for this
update.

## Risks

Environment delivery crosses a real provider process boundary, so secret
isolation remains part of the next actual AWS acceptance. A worker
receipt must match an actual successful native run and key-authenticated
endpoint call; a copied boolean does not qualify. Oracle safety and
attribution changes can alter acceptance, so balanced negatives remain
required. No current uniform-ten pass is claimed. Normal CI and genuine
exact-head review must finish before protected infrastructure merge.
Root owns the next TestOps Submit, with the original model, limits, zero
automatic retries and maximum eight concurrent case chains.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` through Codex. Capabilities used: source analysis,
mechanical integration, local code execution and PR preparation. The
host does not expose the context-window limit. The evaluated model
remains OpenCode/OpenRouter `deepseek/deepseek-v4.1-flash-1017`.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

**Paperclip version or commit**

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

**Deployment mode**

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 be20d4ad97 fix(projects): keep projects on the storage chosen at creation (#19036)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A project stores its work in Core/local storage or in a storage
plugin
> - Today, Core finds the installed default each time it reads a project
> - So installing a default storage plugin moves existing projects,
without a saved change
> - Agents that cannot reach the new storage then lose access to new
workspaces
> - This pull request makes Core apply the default once, when it creates
a project
> - The benefit is that a project stays on its storage until a person
moves it

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No issue exists. This describes the problem. I searched open pull
requests for related work and found no duplicate.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

How Core chooses the storage for a project when a plugin claims
`defaultForProjects`.

**Current behavior**

Installing such a plugin changes the storage of every existing project
with no explicit choice. Disabling the plugin changes it back. Nothing
is saved, so the project has no fixed owner. Execution environments and
storage are separate contracts, so an agent can lose access to new
workspaces on a project that it used before.

**Proposed behavior**

Core saves the storage choice on the project when it creates the
project. A project with no saved choice uses Core/local storage. A
plugin-backed project stays attached to its plugin. A Core/local project
can move to a plugin.

**Reason and benefit**

A project stays on its storage until a person moves it, so installing or
disabling a plugin does not change where work goes.

**Alternatives considered**

- Keep the default at read time and add a process that saves a choice on
existing projects when a plugin arrives. This adds a background step and
a race with new projects.
- Add a new database column. The existing policy field already holds the
choice, so a migration is not necessary.

## What Changed

- `resolveProjectWorkspaceProvider` reads only the saved choice. It no
longer applies an installed default.
- `withDefaultProjectStorage` applies the default when Core creates a
project, including a personal private project. With more than one
default, a project with no explicit choice is refused. This is the
existing conflict rule, now applied at creation.
- `projectService.update` refuses a change of storage on a plugin-backed
project. An update that omits the field keeps the attachment.
- Plugin lifecycle delivery sends project events to a storage provider
only for projects attached to it, and for deleted projects. Core
acknowledges the other events for that provider. Other plugins continue
to receive all project events.
- The project settings control has no "Inherit" option. It is locked on
a plugin-backed project.
- `ProjectWorkspaceProviderConfiguration.source` no longer has the
`"default"` value.
- A project with no repository or folder ignores its saved storage
choice when a task runs. A storage plugin cannot manage this type of
project, so its tasks use a plain task directory. Without this change,
the second run of a task reset the agent session, and remote agents
could not use an empty task directory.
- The plugin SDK README and the plugin authoring guide describe the new
rules.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run
server/src/__tests__/project-workspace-provider.integration.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/plugin-lifecycle-delivery.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/plugin-workspaces.integration.test.ts
packages/plugins/sdk/tests/workspace-provider.test.ts`: 93 tests pass.
- `npx vitest run src/components/ProjectProperties.concurrency.test.tsx`
in `ui/`: 9 tests pass.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` and `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/ui typecheck` pass.
- `npx vitest run` on `heartbeat-session-preparation`,
`workspace-preparation`, `remote-workspace-source`,
`project-workspace-provider.integration`, and
`plugin-workspaces.integration` in `server/`: 231 tests pass.
- I did not run the full test suite locally. CI runs it.
- I did not test this change on a running instance.

## Risks

- **Behavior change at upgrade:** an existing project that uses a plugin
only through the installed default, with no saved choice, moves to
Core/local storage after upgrade. Its plugin files stay in place, but
new work does not use them until an operator sets
`storageProviderPluginId` on the project. This pull request has no
automatic backfill.
- **Missed lifecycle events:** a provider does not receive events for a
Core/local project. If the project moves to that provider later, the
update event starts its reconcile.
- **One-way move:** a person cannot move a plugin-backed project back
through the API or the UI. This is intended. If a plugin is disabled,
the project fails closed, as it does today for an explicit choice.
- This pull request does not stop a person from assigning an agent to a
project with storage that the agent cannot reach. That is follow-up
work.
- This changes core plugin behavior, and I did not discuss it in `#dev`
first. Maintainers can tell me if they want a discussion before review.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #19025.

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

**Paperclip version or commit**

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

**Deployment mode**

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

4ea53f9eb5 fix(server): resolve issue identifiers in file-resources routes (#16352)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents and the board read task workspace files through the
`/api/issues/:issueId/file-resources/*` routes
> - Clients can identify a task by its UUID or by its human identifier,
for example `ABC-230`
> - The issues router changes identifiers to UUIDs, but the
file-resources router does not
> - Thus an identifier goes into a `uuid` comparison, Postgres rejects
the query, and the route returns 500
> - This pull request resolves identifiers in the file-resources router
and returns 404 for malformed ids
> - The benefit is that identifier links work, and bad ids give a
correct 404 and no server error

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A request to `GET /api/issues/ABC-230/file-resources/list` returned 500.
The server log showed `invalid input syntax for type uuid` from
`workspaceFileResourceService.getIssue`. Sentry recorded this error on
hosted staging.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create a task that has an identifier, for example `ABC-1`.
2. Send `GET /api/issues/ABC-1/file-resources/list?workspace=project`.
3. The server returns 500. The same request with the task UUID returns
200.

**Expected behavior**
The route accepts the identifier, as the other `/api/issues/:id` routes
do. An unknown or malformed id returns 404.

## What Changed

- Added `resolveIssueId` to `WorkspaceFileResourceService`. It changes a
task identifier to the task UUID. It does not check visibility.
`getIssue` still does the privacy-scoped read.
- Added a `router.param("issueId")` handler to the file-resources
router. It calls `resolveIssueId`, the same as the issues router does
for its routes.
- `getIssue` now returns 404 before the query when the id is not a UUID.
This stops the Postgres cast error for all callers.
- Added a regression test for identifier, lowercase identifier, private
task, unknown identifier, and malformed id on the `content`, `list`, and
`availability` routes.
- Updated the test service fakes with the new method.

## Verification

- `pnpm vitest run src/__tests__/file-resources.test.ts
src/__tests__/file-resources-git-scan-load.test.ts` in `server/`: 55
passed.
- Without the source change, the new test fails with `expected 200 "OK",
got 500 "Internal Server Error"`. This reproduces the production error.
- I did not run a full local `tsc` because the sandbox did not have
sufficient memory. CI runs the typecheck.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change adds one indexed lookup on `issues.identifier`
(unique index) only when the path value has the identifier format.
- The identifier lookup does not check visibility. `getIssue` then
applies the privacy-scoped read, so a private or unknown task gives the
same 404 as before. The route does not show if a task exists.

3cdb367369 fix(acpx): report how the sandbox agent process session ended (#16366)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Hosted `claude_local` runs use the ACPX engine. The agent process
runs in a sandbox, and a host-side process session bridge carries the
ACP stream.
> - Some hosted turns fail with only "The connection to Claude was
lost." (`acpx_turn_failed`, terminal session category `connection`). The
failure report shows one pending `execute` tool. It does not show why
the agent process went away.
> - The bridge already records how the session ended: the remote exit
code and signal, or a host proxy close. But it writes that evidence only
to the run log. The run failure report never receives it.
> - Without it, we cannot tell an OOM kill (`SIGKILL`) or a provider
process exit from a bridge or proxy close. Each cause needs a different
fix, so we must not guess.
> - This pull request keeps the first terminal evidence on the bridge
handle and copies it, as closed values, into the run failure report's
execution context.
> - The benefit is that the next recurrence names the cause, and the
correct fix can follow.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Hosted `claude_local` runs on staging and production failed with "The
connection to Claude was lost." One run failed about 4 minutes in, 7–10
seconds after its last ACP event. Another failed after about 3.5 hours
with no ACP events for most of that time. Both had one pending `execute`
tool. The report had no information about how the sandbox agent process
ended.

**Expected behavior**

The run failure report says how the sandbox agent process session ended.
Examples: the remote process exited with a code, the remote process was
killed by a signal, or the host proxy closed.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a hosted ACP `claude_local` run on a sandbox target.
2. Kill the agent process in the sandbox while a tool runs, for example
with `kill -9`.
3. See that the run log has an `ACP process session terminal:` line, but
the run failure report has no matching field.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at 1b58ac6.

## What Changed

- `startAdapterExecutionTargetProcessSessionBridge` keeps the first
terminal evidence it records (`source`, `outcome`, `exitCode`,
`signal`). The new optional handle method `readTerminalEvidence()`
returns it. The run log line does not change.
- The closed source and signal labels move to
`acpx-engine/constants.ts`. The bridge and the server reader use the
same list.
- The ACPX engine adds `acpProcessTerminalSource`,
`acpProcessTerminalOutcome`, `acpProcessTerminalExitCode` and
`acpProcessTerminalSignal` to the turn activity diagnostics in
`resultJson`. It leaves out an unknown exit code or signal.
- `collectRunFailureDiagnostics` copies these fields into the execution
context. It accepts only closed labels and an integer exit code from 0
to 255. If the source is not a closed label, it drops all the fields.
- `doc/observability.md` documents the new fields next to the other ACP
activity fields.
- Tests: bridge evidence for a remote exit, a missing command, and an
authenticated proxy close; the engine summary helper; and the server
reader with valid and invalid values.

## Verification

- `vitest run src/acpx-engine/ src/execution-target-sandbox.test.ts` in
`packages/adapter-utils`: 22 files, 579 tests pass.
- `vitest run src/services/__tests__/run-failure-diagnostics.test.ts` in
`server`: 121 tests pass.
- `tsc --noEmit -p packages/adapter-utils`: passes.
- I type-checked the changed server files with a narrow config. The only
errors came from workspace packages that were not built locally
(`@paperclipai/plugin-sdk`, `@paperclipai/paperclip-runner`). A full
server `tsc` ran out of memory in my sandbox. CI runs the full check.

## Risks

- This change adds diagnostics only. It does not change retry, recovery,
or classification behavior.
- Every new field is a closed label or a bounded integer. No message,
command, path, payload, or provider text goes into the report.
- The host records a `proxy_close` from a socket close event. If the
turn finalizes before that event, the fields are absent for that run.
When the fields are absent, the report has the same data as it has
today.
- `readTerminalEvidence` is optional on the handle type, so other handle
implementations and test doubles still compile.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) through Claude Code, with tool use
and code execution. It read the repository, traced the failure path,
edited the code, and ran the tests.

53735db7de fix(retry): resume verified preparation failures (#19004)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip must preserve saved agent work while proving earlier
execution stopped.
> - A deliberate task Retry can observe a newer failure while an older
preparation still holds execution.
> - That older preparation can also have a finalized empty object log
despite never reaching the provider.
> - Binding only the latest run and requiring every log field to be
absent keeps valid recovery deferred.
> - This change follows the exact persisted predecessor chain and binds
current Retry authority to eligible holds.
> - It recognizes only an exact finalized empty-log receipt within the
existing strict preparation proof.
> - One fresh user turn can then start with saved work and the existing
ownership, stop and accounting checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18989, #18860 and #18997. The first waits for predecessor cleanup
during automatic dispatch. The second selects the committed native
session owner. The third retains admitted Retry authority when no source
recovery action exists. None passes current board Retry intent to a held
failed predecessor. A search of open repairs found no duplicate.
ROADMAP.md was checked; this is a recovery bug fix.

**What happened?**

A failed native preparation retains a legacy run row and an inherited
session. Its remote workspace is later saved and verified. An automatic
successor also fails during preparation. Board Retry observes that newer
run, but the effective hold belongs to its predecessor. The Retry does
not bind the predecessor's recovery generation. The native
historical-source guard then keeps the request deferred.

**Expected behavior**

Carry the deliberate Retry through its verified same-company, same-task
and same-agent persisted predecessor chain. Start one fresh user turn
after every source passes current execution, stop and saved-work checks.
Keep incomplete or unrelated proof held. Preserve prior work and
recorded action outcomes.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Fail native preparation with an inherited session and a remote
workspace.
2. Finish its real workspace recovery and stop receipts.
3. Save a newer failed automatic successor with `retryOfRunId` bound to
that source.
4. Submit ordinary task Retry for the newer run.
5. Before the change, no successor is admitted. The request remains
deferred behind the older hold.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The regression fails on master
`039e0dad2c51c80251e1302a19c5566e039c357a`, which includes #18989.

**Deployment mode**

Source checkout on macOS arm64 with real PostgreSQL, HTTP task Retry and
the assembled heartbeat service. The remote filesystem boundary uses
temporary files. Hosted rollout and an original-task Retry are not yet
verified.

This PR incorporates the reviewed empty-log follow-up #19021, preserving
its commits and regression controls. Both parts are required for hosted
preparation recovery, so the combined revision is qualified and deployed
together.

## What Changed

- Accept a finalized zero-byte `s3_segments` log only when its reference
binds the exact company, agent and run, its digest matches empty
content, compression is false, and no output progress or nonempty
excerpt exists. Add a real-recorder HTTP regression and 14 negative
controls. Unknown or nonempty logs stay held.

- Read a complete persisted Retry chain in one recursive query, limited
to 32 runs. Reject missing, cyclic, newer, unfinished, cross-company,
cross-task and cross-agent sources. Transcript hints grant no authority.
- Bind eligible historical recovery records to the current Retry intent.
Keep complete or running recovery budgets. Leave successful ancestors
and mismatched recovery-source records unchanged.
- Recheck that same chain when selecting an ancestor's fresh-user
strategy.
- Admit only a held ancestor through the shared native preparation
proof. Keep the closed preparation failure codes, no-provider state,
profile, input, result, output and accounting checks. Treat inherited
session input as prior context and accept the exact bounded host start
marker. Verify current ownership, saved work and stop receipts before
forcing a fresh session.
- Add HTTP and PostgreSQL regressions and document the rule.
- Give the HTTP Retry nudge and explicit test worker the same real
heartbeat facade and provider boundary. Establish the revoked catalog
receipt before either can dispatch.

## Verification

- Combined integration head `91f021f233151192f69dd7a035d083abcc67c47c`
requires fresh complete CI and review; qualification is in progress.

- Repair validation: all **six** recovered preparation provider-boundary
cases pass. The catalog cases still require the exact access refusal,
zero provider inputs and zero provider turns. The success case still
checks preserved file bytes and one native turn.
- [Previous exact-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41883421120/job/126785508136)
failed the catalog case with `remote_workspace_transport_unsupported`.
The route created a default heartbeat that could race the injected
worker and allocate outside the controlled transport. The repaired test
shares its real heartbeat across both dispatchers and holds the agent
start lock until the revoked catalog receipt is committed. It tracks and
drains both Retry nudges during teardown. It changes no production
access check or expected refusal.
- The first broad local reproduction hit a full local disk. It passed
201 cases and failed 86, including explicit manifest free-space errors.
Generated build caches were removed from these isolated checkouts. The
owning run passed 670/671 cases. Its one failure was the saved-Files
loader refusing insufficient temporary disk space. After cleanup, that
unchanged test passes in isolation. The final shared-facade and
start-lock version passes all six dispatch cases. Both legacy
continuation suites pass all 29 cases. The final fixture teardown also
retires deferred input before removing recovery proof, so global queue
sweeps cannot revisit earlier cases. All seven dispatch and saved-Files
controls pass together after that change. No disk reserve, assertion or
timeout changed. The initial local typecheck also stopped on `ENOSPC`
while materializing provider assets. Server typecheck now passes after
cleanup. No test timeout or reserve was lowered.
- Current-head CI is complete: 52 successful checks, three expected
skips, and a successful security status. Both required gates (`ci / e2e`
and `ci / verify`) passed on `0adc2e38103533dd45bcc56f957ac019642c57b1`.
[Full CI
evidence](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41898305521).
Greptile scored final head `0adc2e38103533dd45bcc56f957ac019642c57b1`
5/5 with no blocking findings or unresolved threads. The earlier
verification below describes the previous head.

- RED on unchanged master `039e0dad2c`: the certified-preparation
sibling passes, while the inherited-session case admits zero successors
instead of one. A second isolated RED on latest base `8f06bd4e17`,
including #18997, uses the exact final three-node test fixture. The HTTP
route returns 202, then the test observes zero successors instead of
one. All baseline production files remain unchanged. The initial
dependency/setup failures are separate from these behavioral failures.
- The positive cases cover the failed-failed-successful chain. They keep
the completed result unchanged, verify the original saved file and
validate fresh-session continuation authority. Repeated HTTP input and
concurrent resume calls keep one successor.
- PostgreSQL controls accept a complete 32-run chain. A 33-run chain and
a newer-created predecessor return no usable ancestry and do not bind
the older recovery record.
- Safety controls cover company, task and agent scope, conflicting
canonical bindings, missing and cyclic edges, transcript hints, live
execution and controllers, unknown stop, failed saving, unsafe writer
state, Stop, actor and generation changes, independent holds and
mismatched recovery records.
- Ancestor controls retain provider-event, native-input,
session-checkpoint, controller-recovery, result, process, runtime,
accounting and unknown-result guards. Host start and warning prefixes
use exact origins, sequence and payloads. A fifth extra event is
rejected.
- The first complete owning run found 22 introduced admission failures.
The initial historical-native allowance also applied to exact-source
Retry. It admitted contradictory preparation evidence. The fix now
requires a canonical ancestor and the shared strict startup proof. The
original direct-source assertions remain unchanged.
- The next focused run passed 82 cases, including both catalogue-warning
controls. One new result fixture lacked the database's required owner
tuple. Two existing controls reached their original 30-second limit. The
fixture now uses the real native task and completion-contract owner
tuple. A controlled nine-case run passes the result case, both unchanged
timed-out controls, three failure-code controls and all three positives.
The earlier timeout causes remain undetermined. All failed-run logs are
retained.
- Complete owning suites passed on previous head
`137a8eb3febf41052e112fc3c4ffe1abb92bcab7`: all 675 tests across
workspace recovery, task Retry, explicit continuation and legacy
continuation. The command exits successfully with normal teardown. This
includes every earlier introduced admission failure and the two
unchanged timeout controls. Its base includes the merged #18997
authority repair and #18982 rolling-copy packaging repair. The rebase
retained both test imports at their one adjacent-import conflict.
- Node 24.19.0 and pnpm 9.15.4. Module boundaries and `git diff --check`
pass. The initial PostgreSQL start lacked package library links after
install with scripts disabled. The documented hydration restored the
isolated dependency; that setup failure was not a behavioral red.
- Previous-head [full
typecheck](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41883421120/job/126785506215)
and [full
build](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41883421120/job/126785506094)
passed. Earlier attempts received synchronized runner shutdown signals
and a lost-runner annotation. The shutdown initiator remains unknown. A
CI owner used the documented hosted-runner failover for attempt three
and restored the original routing value after capture. That attempt
exposed the catalog failure above. Source workflows and check
requirements remain unchanged. The current head now has green CI,
Greptile 5/5, no unresolved review threads, and no merge conflicts.
Hosted rollout and the original task are not yet verified.


- Combined recovery proof: 24 of 24 cases passed on this exact head in
43.13 seconds, with normal teardown and unchanged assertions and limits.
They cover the real recorder, all 14 empty-output rejection controls,
ancestor and direct Retry, saved messages, the configured native
provider, and verified stop. The targeted TypeScript graph also passed;
the preceding integration step passed 95 safety/provider/message cases
and all 49 task Retry cases.
- The incorporated #19021 was independently red/green with the real
recorder: unchanged predecessor code returned HTTP 202 but admitted zero
successors. Its 18 focused cases, all 690 owning recovery cases, full
typecheck/build, 1,904 local chat cases, complete CI and Greptile 5/5
passed before integration. The unchanged CLI startup lane passed one
justified retry; no hosted acceptance is inferred from those results.
- Additional local qualification of the unchanged workspace fixture
alongside the native bootstrap fixture passed 288 of 289 cases. One
manual-admission HTTP case ended with `socket hang up` after 451 ms,
without an assertion or HTTP status. That unchanged case passed once in
isolation at the original 40-second limit, with normal teardown, and
passed in exact `0adc` CI in 17.2 seconds. The earlier disconnect cause
remains unknown; no assertion or timeout changed.
- An earlier CI attempt failed the newly merged native ingress fixture
because its shared Node command failed strict permission qualification.
The current base includes #19020's owned executable fixture repair; no
production permission check was relaxed.
- Integration with current master had one documentation conflict. An
automatic test merge also duplicated an app declaration; that syntax
failure was retained and fixed by reusing the configured real HTTP app.
Both new message-state assertions remain intact. Workflows and lockfile
retain master's contents.

## Risks

- A damaged or overlong chain remains held. The helper does not truncate
it and grant partial authority.
- The new query runs only for a deliberate Retry or its ancestor
strategy check. It adds no background polling, table, credential or
provider policy.
- A fresh intent is not stop or file-recovery proof. The existing owners
retain those checks. Prior effects remain fenced, and no old result is
replayed.
- Local tests do not prove hosted rollout. Live acceptance must use the
served fixed revision and the task's original saved work.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex for the original change. OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol
(`gpt-6.1-sol`), xhigh reasoning, for the merge and CI repair. Both used
repository tools and PostgreSQL verification. Context-window limits were
not exposed by the harness.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

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

**What did you expect to happen?**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

**Paperclip version or commit**

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

**Deployment mode**

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

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

DottaandPaperclip 25b5a072cc fix(recovery): let messages continue recovered preparation (#19026)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip must preserve work while allowing people to continue
failed tasks.
> - A preparation failure can retain an ID from an earlier provider
session.
> - Workspace recovery and host settlement already prove that the failed
attempt never dispatched a provider.
> - The preparation classifier also required that inherited session ID
to be absent.
> - That extra condition kept new messages, saved messages, and Retry
behind a resolved recovery hold.
> - Classify execution from the existing execution evidence and admit
one fresh turn through normal gates.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18908, #19004, and #19021. The latter two address historical Retry
ancestry and empty object logs. This repair addresses a current source
with an inherited session and ordinary user messages; it needs neither
ancestry nor an object log. ROADMAP.md and related open PRs were
checked.

**What happened?**

Sending a message to a failed task saved it in the queue, but did not
start another run. The failed native preparation had recovered files and
durable host settlement, plus `sessionIdBefore` from prior work. The
classifier treated that input as execution evidence and kept the
recovery hold.

**Expected behavior**

Admit the new user turn once the existing saved-work and stop checks
pass. Preserve previous failures and files. Show the current run instead
of the old error, and consume messages when execution starts.

**Steps to reproduce**

Fail Runner preparation before runtime selection. Preserve its remote
workspace. Retain an inherited `sessionIdBefore`. Send an ordinary
message or click Retry. The three new HTTP regressions accept the
request but admit zero successors before the repair.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Base `3bd52a9fa0`.

**Deployment mode**

Authenticated hosted Runner. Regression verification uses macOS arm64,
Node 26.4.0, real PostgreSQL, HTTP routes, and real temporary workspace
archives. The external sandbox transport and native provider boundary
are controlled in the execution fixture.

## What Changed

- Stop requiring the inherited session input to be absent from otherwise
verified failed preparation.
- Cover new messages, previously saved messages, Retry, request replay,
one successor, recovered files, and current task presentation.
- Exercise the existing preparation safety controls with inherited
context, including a new output-session refusal.
- Exercise native execution and finalization with the inherited session
input.
- Document the continuation rule.

## Verification

- RED: all three new HTTP cases admitted zero successors before the
production change.
- All three final HTTP cases pass. The 41 preparation safety cases,
including the new output-session refusal, pass with inherited context.
- The native execution fixture passes with inherited context. It reads
restored files, writes the continuation result, runs one provider turn,
persists the accepted result, empties the queue, and resolves the
notice.
- Initial positive assertions expected an empty queue while the fixture
deliberately held the agent's slot, then expected a null optional wait
field. The final assertions use the actual queue contract and retain
execution and presentation checks.
- `pnpm build`, `node scripts/typecheck-low-memory.mjs`, module
boundaries, and `git diff --check` pass locally. The final rebased head
`56d2ef26` passes the four HTTP/native journey cases. All 634 tests in
the four complete owning recovery, Retry and continuation suites pass.
Current-head full CI passes: 53 successful checks and three expected
skips, with no failed or pending checks. The full local command has the
documented timeout below.
- The full local command passed its first three chat shards, then
stopped in shard four on a 15-second timeout in `answers each finding
thread in its own run instead of one unattestable batch` (267 other
shard cases passed). The exact unchanged test passes alone (about nine
seconds of test work) and all three full CI chat groups pass on this
head. It uses a custom adapter, so the changed native-preparation proof
is inapplicable. The timeout cause remains unknown; the full local
command is not claimed green and its later groups were not reached.
- Initial CI attempt: all other checks passed, but server shard 2/12
failed on the unchanged `idle-completed-history.test.ts` owned HTTP
runtime test. The ten-second readiness probe returned ECONNREFUSED. The
source and runtime have no diff from the base and this test does not use
failed-preparation admission. The exact local case passes; the
underlying readiness cause remains unknown. Logs and annotations are
retained at [the failed
job](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41897539206/job/126811385017).
The single failed-job retry passed on the same head, including the
dependent verify aggregate. This proves recovery of that check; the
original readiness cause remains unknown.
- Greptile reviewed the exact head `56d2ef26` at 5/5 with no actionable
findings and zero unresolved threads. Hosted recovery remains unverified
until the repair reaches the serving revision.

## Risks

The risk is mistaking earlier context for a stopped current execution.
Current provider session, process, controller, native
input/result/output, accounting, exact lease stop, workspace
epoch/generation/writer, actor, assignment, pause and approval checks
remain enforced. No migration, new polling, API, credentials or
execution policy is added.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, using reasoning, code editing, shell tools,
and browser diagnostics. The exact serving snapshot and context window
are not exposed in this session.

Devin FoleyandClaude Opus 5.5 09f9d691cf fix(server): keep the root failure code when the execution deadline fails a run (#19028)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The execution-control watchdog fails a run when its control deadline
passes and no owner finished it.
> - The watchdog replaces the run's error code with
`execution_finalization_deadline_exceeded`.
> - The run-failure report reads the root cause from
`resultJson.originalFailureCode`. The watchdog did not write that field.
> - So every watchdog failure goes to Sentry with the same fingerprint,
whatever its first failure was.
> - This pull request keeps the earlier failure code as
`originalFailureCode`, as the native finalizer already does.
> - The benefit is that Sentry groups watchdog failures by their real
first failure, so each cause can be found and fixed.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

One hosted Sentry group collects all
`execution_finalization_deadline_exceeded` run failures. It has 17
events from many drivers (Codex app server, OpenCode server, ACPX
runtime). In one recent event, the run first failed with
`native_execution_ownership_unverified`. The watchdog then failed it at
the deadline. The recovery action evidence kept `originalFailureCode:
native_execution_ownership_unverified`, but the run row and the Sentry
event did not. The event had no `root_error_code` tag, and its
fingerprint was only `[execution_finalization_deadline_exceeded,
paperclip_runner]`.

**Expected behavior**

When the watchdog replaces an earlier, more specific error code, the run
keeps that code as `resultJson.originalFailureCode`. The run-failure
report then sends `root_error_code` and adds it to the fingerprint
(`server/src/sentry.ts`).

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a running run with `errorCode:
native_execution_ownership_unverified` and an expired
`executionControlDeadlineAt`.
2. Run `reconcileAbandonedExecutionControl`.
3. The run fails with `execution_finalization_deadline_exceeded`, and
the earlier code is lost. The captured event has no
`diagnostics.execution.originalFailureCode`.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `89703c3ff7de`.

Refs #14110, a similar fix for the finalization sweep. A search found no
other open PR for this path. Draft #18672 changes legacy deferred wakes,
which is a different path.

## What Changed

- `execution-control-reconciliation.ts`: when the watchdog fails a run,
it writes the earlier code (`coordinator.failureCode ?? run.errorCode`)
to `resultJson.originalFailureCode`. This is the same value that it
already writes to the recovery action evidence.
- The watchdog keeps the other `resultJson` fields.
- The watchdog does not replace a root cause that is already recorded.
- The watchdog does not record the deadline code as its own root cause.
- Two regression tests in `execution-control-reconciliation.test.ts`.

## Verification

- The new test "keeps the run's prior failure code as the reported root
cause" fails on unchanged `master`. The run's `resultJson` has no
`originalFailureCode`. With the fix, the test passes.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/execution-control-reconciliation.test.ts
src/__tests__/execution-control-work.test.ts
src/__tests__/run-failure-sentry.test.ts src/__tests__/sentry.test.ts`:
111 passed, 5 skipped.
- `pnpm exec vitest run src/services/task-retry.test.ts
src/services/heartbeat/recovery.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-safe-replacement.test.ts
src/services/workspace-recovery.test.ts`: 437 passed. These suites use
this watchdog cause.
- `node scripts/typecheck-layers.mjs` in `server/`: passed.
- Not run locally: the full `pnpm -r typecheck` (the sandbox has no Rust
toolchain for the runner crate), `pnpm test:run` and `pnpm build`. CI
runs these.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change adds one `resultJson` key only when the watchdog
moves a run to `failed`, and only when a different earlier code exists.
- Other readers of `resultJson.originalFailureCode`
(`native-run-projection.ts`, `idle-sleep-safety.ts`) only check
committed or succeeded runs. A watchdog failure is neither, so their
results do not change.
- `isPendingNativeRetry` reads only `nativePhase`, so reporting is not
suppressed.
- Sentry groups will split by root cause after deployment. New events
will go to new groups, and the existing group will get fewer events.
This is the intended change.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Publishing and installing the existing boxd sandbox provider.

**Subsystem affected**

`packages/plugins` and the npm release manifest.

**Current behavior**

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

**Proposed behavior**

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

**Reason and benefit**

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

**Breaking changes**

None. This changes release enrollment and documentation only.

**Additional context**

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

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

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

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip d180ad8c77 fix(heartbeat): retry chat execution authorization contention (#19017)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A task Retry must use the current task and chat authority.
> - The request and queue paths already retain a Retry through brief
lock contention.
> - Execution checks that authority twice, including after native input
preparation.
> - A busy task row or chat identity could fail the admitted run at
either check.
> - This pull request retries only the rolled-back authorization
transaction.
> - The same run can proceed after the lock clears. The final dispatch
gate still rejects changed ownership.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A failed chat task can accept a normal Retry and then fail during
execution setup when another PostgreSQL transaction holds the task row
or chat identity lock. The late check can fail after native input and
workspace preparation. The exception can then enter the workspace
preservation path.

**Expected behavior**

Keep the same admitted run and its frozen input. Retry a recognized,
rolled-back authorization conflict within the existing bound. Recheck
current authority before each attempt. Reject Stop, paused agents,
revoked chat access, or a changed task owner before the execution
callback.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Admit a normal failed-chat task Retry with the existing PostgreSQL
fixture.
2. On a second connection, hold the task row or the chat identity
advisory lock when execution authorization starts.
3. Release the lock after the real authorizer reports contention.
4. Observe that the original code fails the run before the authorized
callback. Repeat at the late native check after input preparation.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on master `039e0dad2c51c80251e1302a19c5566e039c357a`. The
branch is rebased on `8f06bd4e1`.

**Deployment mode**

Source checkout with real PostgreSQL and the local HTTP Retry route.
Provider and chat transport responses use controlled test fixtures.

Refs: #18895 and #18896 cover request and queue admission. This change
covers execution authorization. #18898 and #18989 cover predecessor
cleanup, a separate boundary. The roadmap and public PR search show no
duplicate execution-authorization repair.

## What Changed

- Recognize the existing typed chat-presentation contention error in the
bounded admission retry helper. Keep its existing PostgreSQL
lock-unavailable handling.
- Use that helper at both execution authorization checks. Each attempt
checks cancellation and the applicable legacy controller lease, then
opens a fresh transaction. The loop contains no provider or workspace
callback.
- Include failed-chat Retry in the existing final dispatch ownership
gate. This preserves current task ownership and native recovery owner
checks after a delay.
- Add real PostgreSQL contention, late prepared-input, Stop, pause,
revocation, owner replacement, native completion, and ordinary legacy
completion controls. Document the retry and dispatch boundaries.

## Verification

- The unchanged base failed real task-row and chat-identity contention
cases. A separate late native case failed after frozen input
preparation. A safety control then proved that a replaced task owner
could still reach the backend; the final dispatch gate fixes that path.
- All 11 PostgreSQL cases and all four helper controls pass. The tests
keep exact frozen model and trust input, reject changed authority, and
do not replay a provider callback.
- A real local HTTP Retry reaches the native executor, one controlled
provider turn, one accepted result, a committed finalizer, and one
published chat reply. Reprocessing the canonical request does not start
another turn.
- A separate real HTTP ordinary legacy Retry runs one controlled adapter
callback, completes its task through the normal service, and does not
replay the canonical request.
- Independent review found no material issue in the two production
files. It checked transaction scope, lock order, current ownership,
native lease expiry, and import cycles.
- The full workspace typecheck and full `pnpm build` pass on this head.
Full `pnpm test:run` passed all 1,916 chat integration cases. Its
broader server group reported the existing workspace-runtime case
`returns a bounded structured conflict and exposes only same-company
workspace references` as failed after 46 ms. The unchanged focused case
and the complete 179-case file both pass on rerun. The active broad run
was then stopped for this finite handoff; its child exited 130 and the
command exited 1. The detailed assertion was buffered and was not
retained, so its exact cause remains unknown. This is a partial local
run, not a full local pass; later local groups did not run. All three CI
chat shards pass. [Greptile reviewed this exact head at 5/5 with no
findings](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/19017#issuecomment-6638521119).
- Retained setup and fixture failures are not counted as product
regressions or passes. An incomplete copied Copilot runtime failed the
first typecheck; the supported installer repaired that isolated
dependency, then typecheck passed. Early acceptance fixtures used a
wrong publication field or did not complete their task; the final
controls use the real field and completion service.
- The first CI run failed [workspace shard
1](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41885475363/job/126769239992)
on child-server startup and a five-second dense ZIP test deadline.
[Server shard
2](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41885475363/job/126769239908)
failed an existing local runtime readiness probe. All 18 cases in the
two CLI files and the runtime case then passed unchanged locally on this
head. The CLI files also match an earlier independently verified head
byte for byte. One failed-job rerun was requested. Its [server
job](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41885475363/job/126777070120)
was cancelled after the runner received a shutdown signal. It produced
no test verdict. After that workflow ended, only the interrupted server
job and its required dependents were rescheduled once. The [complete
workspace rerun
passed](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41885475363/job/126777070125).
The [rescheduled server
job](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41885475363/job/126781960353)
and its aggregate passed. The [complete current-head workflow is
green](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41885475363).
All required current-head CI and security gates pass, including the
Ready-triggered scans; three conditional checks are skipped. The
complete unchanged idle-history file also passes all 75 cases locally.
No timeout or assertion changed; all attempts remain part of this
result.
- These local controls do not claim hosted-provider or Linux sandbox
acceptance. The original task-row failure did not retain a SQLSTATE; the
PostgreSQL reproduction proves the local gap without assigning that
original cause.

## Risks

- The existing bound allows 50 backoffs of 100 ms. It limits backoff
time, not total database or lease wall time.
- Native ownership is checked at the final dispatch gate. The
per-attempt controller lease assertion applies to legacy execution.
- A persistent lock or changed authority still fails closed. Unknown
prior provider effects and accepted work retain their existing guards.
- No migration or model, account, trust, credential, or permission
policy change is included.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

**Paperclip version or commit**

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

Devin FoleyandClaude Opus 5.5 6a45ea479e fix(heartbeat): retry failed legacy lease renewals until the deadline (#17851)
<!-- entire-trail-link-start -->
https://entire.com/gh/paperclipai/-/trails/52/changes/paperclip/52
<!-- entire-trail-link-end -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A legacy agent run keeps a durable controller lease. The server
renews the lease every 10 s. The lease lasts 60 s.
> - The lease watchdog stops the run when it loses the lease, because
another controller can then take the run.
> - #17032 moved renewal to a private pool. It also retries a renewal
that hits its statement timeout. But a renewal that fails with any other
error still stops the run at once.
> - Staging still shows this failure after #17032. A legacy run made 186
good renewals over 31 minutes. Then one renewal failed with an error
23.9 s after the last good renewal, and the watchdog stopped the run
immediately (`controllerLeaseLossCause=renewal_error`). The lease still
had about 36 s left.
> - This pull request retries a failed renewal until the lease deadline,
the same as a timed-out renewal.
> - The benefit is that one dropped database connection no longer
cancels a healthy run. The 60 s lease deadline still bounds the retries,
so the ownership guarantee does not change.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17032
Refs #16084

**What happened?**
A legacy agent run on staging was cancelled mid-turn. The run was
healthy. The cancellation evidence was
`cancellationSource=controller_lease` and
`controllerLeaseLossCause=renewal_error`, with
`controllerLeaseRenewalCount=186` and
`controllerLeaseSinceRenewalMs=23913`. The release already contained
#17032.

**Expected behavior**
One failed lease renewal must not stop a run while the lease is still
valid. The watchdog must try the renewal again. It must stop the run
only when the lease deadline passes or when the database rejects the
renewal.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a legacy run so that `watchLegacyControllerLease` watches it.
2. Make one renewal query fail with a connection error, for example
terminate its Postgres backend with `pg_terminate_backend`.
3. See that the watchdog aborts the run immediately with
`renewal_error`, although the lease has not expired.

## What Changed

- `watchLegacyControllerLease` retries a renewal that fails with an
error. It waits 1 s between attempts
(`LEGACY_CONTROLLER_RENEWAL_RETRY_DELAY_MS`). The existing lease
deadline stops the retries.
- A retried renewal is safe. The UPDATE is idempotent, and it still
requires this controller's boot ID and an unexpired lease. A rejected
renewal (no row updated) still stops the run at once with
`renewal_rejected`.
- If the deadline passes while the attempts still fail with an error,
the cause stays `renewal_error`. A statement timeout counts as a stall,
so it stays `renewal_deadline`, as before. A good renewal clears the
error state.
- `deadlineLateMs` is now recorded whenever the deadline ends the lease,
also for `renewal_error`.
- Tests:
- New embedded-Postgres test: it terminates the renewal's own backend
while the renewal waits on the run row. The renewal retries on a new
connection and keeps the lease. Without the fix, `assertOwned` rejects.
- New unit tests: one failed attempt is retried and the lease is kept; a
stall after a recovered error is still `renewal_deadline`.
- The existing `renewal_error` test now checks that a renewal that
always fails is retried and is reported as `renewal_error` at the
deadline, with its timings.
- `doc/run-log-events.md` describes the retry and the updated
`renewal_error` and `deadlineLateMs` meaning.

## Verification

- `server/src/services/legacy-controller-lease.test.ts` with embedded
Postgres: 23 tests pass.
- With the original `legacy-controller-lease.ts`, 4 of these tests fail.
One of them is the real-Postgres test that terminates the renewal
connection.
- `server/src/services/heartbeat/run-completion.test.ts` and the
`run-cancellation` tests: 35 tests pass.
- A typecheck of the changed files reports 0 errors. CI runs the full
typecheck.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change is limited to the legacy lease watchdog.
- A run with a permanently failing renewal now stops at the lease
deadline (at most 60 s after the last good renewal), not at the first
error. Another controller cannot take the run before the lease expires
in the database, so ownership stays safe.
- A non-transient error (for example a code bug in the query) is retried
once per second until the deadline. The cause label is still
`renewal_error`.

## Model Used

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

Devin FoleyandPaperclip edb9d29942 fix(recovery): preserve Retry authority and reopen cross-task cases (#18997)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Tasks keep execution identity and saved workspace files separate
from control-plane updates.
> - A scanner can have permission to reopen a case while its run cannot
restore that case's files.
> - Retry can also follow a preparation failure that has no
recovery-action record.
> - Both paths can accept valid work but leave the target unable to run.
> - This change restores files under the target executor and saves
admitted Retry authority on the canonical receipt.
> - Existing workspace, user, source and successor checks still apply.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

An authorized agent updates another closed task. The route tries to
restore the target workspace under the caller's run identity and returns
`403 Task workspace run identity is unavailable`.

A separate failure occurs when a normal board Retry follows a
pre-provider preparation failure. Admission has no recovery-action row
on which to save continuation authority. Dispatch then fails with
`continuation_user_authorization_missing`.

**Expected behavior**

Accept the authorized task update. Restore its terminal workspace when
the target's admitted executor starts. An admitted Retry must retain its
exact dispatch authority even when the predecessor has no
recovery-action record.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Complete a task with an isolated workspace. From a different running
task, use an authorized comment or PATCH with `resume: true` on that
closed task.
2. Separately, fail native preparation before provider work starts, with
no recovery-action row. Submit board Retry, admit its successor, and
build the execution continuation.
3. Before this change, the first path returns 403 and the second rejects
its admitted authority.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced against `e968131efa7e63d321f3bcca8d47a62513c2efb4`. Rebased
onto `afbc5a885b5`.

**Deployment mode**

Server-managed native task execution. Tests use real PostgreSQL and
temporary workspace files.

Related PRs: #16927 covers terminal workspace races. #17916 retains
exact native export sources. Neither covers these route and Retry
receipt failures. A GitHub search found no duplicate. ROADMAP.md was
checked; this is a recovery bug fix.

## What Changed

- Defer workspace restoration only for authorized cross-task comments
and updates from a live run. Checkout keeps its existing workspace
identity checks.
- Restore the target's selected terminal workspace under its own
admitted run. Preserve its saved files and existing source checks. Leave
manually archived workspaces unchanged.
- Store server-created continuation authority on the canonical admitted
Retry receipt when no source recovery-action record exists. Existing
action records remain authoritative. Read the fallback only after
matching the company, task, agent, user, source, generation and
successor.
- Add route and PostgreSQL regression tests. Document both paths.

## Verification

- Red: both cross-task route tests returned the observed 403 before the
route fix.
- Red: the target executor could not reuse its archived terminal
workspace before the restoration fix.
- Red: an admitted preparation Retry with no recovery-action row failed
with `continuation_user_authorization_missing` before the receipt fix.
- Green: 419 recovery and continuation tests pass, plus 183 focused
route, environment and Retry tests. The assembled heartbeat test starts
the agent in the same terminal worktree and verifies both its unpushed
commit and uncommitted file bytes. It fails before the restoration fix.
- Negative cases reject wrong Retry runs, users, source runs,
generations, unadmitted receipts and missing authority. The original
failed run stays unchanged. Workspace tests verify saved file bytes.
- Full `pnpm build`, `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm check:module-boundaries`
and `git diff --check` pass.
- The full suite found an existing assembled chat authority regression:
clearing a recovery-action record could be bypassed by the new fallback.
The fix now writes the fallback only when that source has no action
record. That assembled regression passes with the original test
unchanged.
- Full `pnpm test:run` is running again. Its first attempt also hit an
unrelated ancestor skill-root lookup for a missing Slack skill. The
rerun uses a temporary untracked link to the repository's own bundled
skills. This link is excluded from the PR. Full-suite completion and
hosted CI are pending.
- Hosted CI has multiple runner interruptions. E2e shard 1/8, server
shards 3/12, 8/12 and 12/12, and workspaces-a shard 1/2 show runner
shutdown signals. E2e shard 5/8 and server shards 1/12 and 2/12 have
GitHub annotations reporting lost runner communication; their logs
return 404. The `ci / verify` assertion failed because the general-test
matrix was cancelled. GitHub rejected job and failed-workflow reruns
while this workflow is still running. Rerun the interrupted checks after
it settles.
- Greptile reviewed exact head
`a1e3929aedb1ee3bfcd001f4ebb1510106bf4070` at 2026-11-04 17:37 UTC: 5/5,
with no new blocking findings and no unresolved review threads.

## Risks

- A deferred workspace restore can still fail at target admission. The
run keeps the existing workspace failure path; this change does not
bypass file recovery or provider stop checks.
- Retry receipts now store server-created authority. Existing action
receipts remain valid. No schema migration is required.
- Local regression tests establish the software behavior. The new
revision has not been deployed to a hosted instance.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` through the Codex harness in T3 Code, with xhigh
reasoning, repository inspection, tool use and code execution. The
context-window size is not exposed by the runtime.

DottaandPaperclip b99dd57c82 test(evals): run Product regression from TestOps (#18983)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent work through governed product workflows.
> - Product E2E tests check those workflows through the real app and
runner.
> - The saved Product regression plan has 20 imported case identities.
> - The plan has no live executor, so historical baseline rows do not
qualify its current behavior.
> - The existing paid full-stack workflow already owns all 20 required
journeys.
> - This change binds TestOps selection and reporting to that workflow
without changing the product oracle or paid admission.
> - Maintainers can run the plan and inspect current case verdicts and
retained evidence.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The standing Product regression plan has no executor. Its dashboard
points at a historical 355-result snapshot across several suites and
revisions.

**Expected behavior**

A TestOps plan run must select the intended existing full-stack cells,
execute them on GitHub, and report their original case IDs, assertions
and source revision. Missing evidence must remain a visible failure.

**Steps to reproduce**

Open the Product regression plan and inspect Executors. There is no live
job. The existing full-stack workflow accepts exact cell IDs but has no
TestOps selection or reporting path.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The branch includes reviewed master correction 04a24f4e06. This change
does not alter scenario prompts, models, deadlines or assertions.

Related public work: #18542 establishes the separate chat-catalog lane.
#18666 repairs its workflow URL binding. These changes do not implement
this Product plan.

## What Changed

- Add optional TestOps service inputs and a manual bootstrap selector to
the existing full-stack workflow.
- Map the original 20 case IDs and full names to existing native
Codex/local cells, with the existing native OpenCode/local
task-workspaces case.
- Keep reporting tokens in trusted default-branch selection and
publication jobs. Keep the existing paid provider authorization and
protected environments.
- Bind retained results to the workflow, job run, launch, source
revision and selection hash. Preserve missing-result failures and
earlier attempt verdict receipts.
- Verify uploaded identities, coverage and verdicts. Document full-plan
and subset reporting limits.
- Keep the outstanding-decision reservation live while its existing
deletion-fence test asserts the original 409 guard. Release the test
provider in finally. Production deletion and accounting code stay
unchanged.

## Verification

- `node --test tests/runner-e2e/product-regression-testops.test.mjs`: 13
positive and negative controls pass, including the separated CLI
handoff.
- Existing paid-workflow security regression passes.
- `actionlint -shellcheck= .github/workflows/runner-full-stack-e2e.yml`:
passes.
- The Product E2E catalog compatibility test confirms all 20 exact cells
exist: passes.
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:typecheck`: passes.
- Fresh Greptile review of final head 61ef7a6e is 5/5 (11 files, no new
findings); both initial reporting findings are repaired and resolved.
- `server/src/__tests__/decision-models.test.ts`: all 37 controls pass
on a disposable official PostgreSQL 18 container in 22.02 seconds. The
unchanged focused case passed once and all five local samples; the
original Linux CI failure remains retained. This is not a claimed
deterministic local red reproduction. The new gate explicitly preserves
the outstanding-reservation precondition.
- The existing master readiness-fixture correction passes all three
retained-workspace controls on the same database in 25.79 seconds. It is
incorporated from master, not duplicated in this PR's diff.
- Final-head Linux CI also passed all 37 decision-model controls in
7.047 seconds; the server shard passed 120 files and 2,004 tests. See
[the retained successful
shard](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41870214517/job/126715358759).
- Previous CI failures are retained: [three stale readiness-fixture
cases](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41864061890/job/126694812885)
and [the reservation fixture
race](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41864061890/job/126694812894).
The separate [Canary Dry
Run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41864061890/job/126694811605)
recorded a lost self-hosted runner connection before any step. The
fixture repairs are verified on changed source; the separate
Spot-interrupted CI attempt and its bounded retry are recorded below.
- Actual one-cell GitHub canary on the unchanged product source:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41860189801 . The
native Codex/local message-marker case passed all six assertions and
cleanup in 35.24 seconds. The persisted issue is Done and its one run
succeeded. This is supporting evidence; it is not TestOps acceptance.
- Final-head CI attempt 1 was interrupted: three failed jobs have EC2
`Server.SpotInstanceTermination` receipts; six cancelled jobs show the
same simultaneous shutdown. Original logs are retained. One [failed-job
retry](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41870214517/attempts/2)
passed all nine interrupted checks while preserving prior successful
jobs.
- Final-head full repository CI passes, including both required `ci /
verify` and `ci / e2e` gates. GitHub still requires a non-author
code-owner approval for the workflow change; normal auto-merge is
queued. A fresh TestOps-triggered subset/full-plan acceptance remains
pending. Local projection checks do not establish a live Product pass.

## Risks

- The first bootstrap upload must establish the official TestOps job
before the saved plan can use it.
- This lane tests one declared local native configuration per case. It
does not qualify the historical 355-row matrix.
- Upload failures remain visible. A missing retained report produces
broken case results and cannot pass.
- The existing non-TestOps campaign path must keep its selection and
scheduling behavior; paid-workflow regression coverage remains in place.

not expose the exact model ID or context window to this session.

DottaandPaperclip 6364fa7327 fix(heartbeat): wait for retry predecessor cleanup (#18989)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent work and preserves its task ownership.
> - Heartbeat admission controls when a queued run can start.
> - A failed run can still own workspace saving and environment cleanup.
> - Automatic recovery can transfer the task execution lock to its
queued retry before that cleanup finishes.
> - The old queue check then sees the retry itself and misses the
predecessor's remaining work.
> - This pull request checks the exact retry predecessor before claiming
the queued run.
> - Existing cleanup notifications can then resume that same run through
normal admission.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18898 and #18691. The first repair covers canonical connected-task
retries with a native source. The second covers live remote workspace
writers. This change covers ordinary automatic continuation when the
predecessor failed before native runtime selection. The search found no
open repair for that path.

**What happened?**

A preparation failure saved a terminal legacy run row while its remote
workspace save and environment cleanup were still active. Generic
continuation created one queued successor and moved the task execution
lock to it. The queue checked that current lock but did not check the
successor's predecessor. The new run started and failed at the existing
unfinished-writer guard.

**Expected behavior**

Keep that same successor queued until its exact predecessor finishes
execution and cleanup. Check company, agent and task identity before
using retry provenance as a wait condition. Preserve Stop, reassignment,
failed cleanup and independent recovery gates.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Save a failed legacy preparation run with an active environment
lease.
2. Queue its ordinary automatic continuation and bind the task execution
lock to the successor.
3. Claim the queued run before the predecessor finishes cleanup.
4. The old code starts the successor. The fixed code retains it in the
queue.
5. Commit successful cleanup through the existing cleanup owner. The
ordinary dispatcher starts that same run once.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The causal regression fails on master
`86814c6550f52e99ede150a883bdc773cbb540e3`.

**Deployment mode**

Source checkout on macOS arm64 with disposable PostgreSQL, the assembled
heartbeat service and the production work coordinator. The adapter
boundary is controlled. No hosted provider replay or deployment is
claimed.

## What Changed

- Check the current task execution owner and the retry's exact
predecessor under the existing task claim lock.
- Use the saved native task binding, ordinary task binding and
historical context fallback in that order. Ignore unrelated retry
provenance.
- Reuse the existing live-executor and pending-cleanup checks. Reuse
committed cleanup notifications and the existing dispatcher.
- Add real PostgreSQL claim controls and assembled cleanup-event
acceptance. Keep the original source failure, saved files and current
task ownership intact.
- Document the queued predecessor-cleanup rule.

## Verification

- RED: the unchanged queue claimed the successor and wrote a new
controller lease while its legacy predecessor retained an active remote
environment lease. The regression expected the successor to remain
queued.
- GREEN: the same regression passes after the change. The complete queue
suite passes all 71 tests.
- The assembled heartbeat suite passes all six tests. The added cases
cover one continuation after committed cleanup, saved-file reuse, final
task lock release, board Stop, reassignment and failed cleanup.
- Scope controls cover a deleted source after scan, another company,
another task, another agent, canonical native task binding and the
existing current-owner hold. A failed cleanup and a still-live local
executor retain the wait.
- Node 24.19.0 and pnpm 9.15.4. Module boundaries and `git diff --check`
pass.
- Initial fixture attempts failed on database constraints and observer
timing. The final fixtures use valid immutable bindings, the board Stop
attribution and a completed real dispatcher call after reading the exact
committed lease state. Production ownership guards were retained
throughout.
- Full low-memory repository typecheck passed at `5cddb49322`. The sync
to master `04a24f4e06` adds only the independent retained-allocation
test fixture from #18984; production code is unchanged.
- Full `pnpm build` passes on current head
`c7c2bcf08ffd05be5ce714683ae1dcfe6f5b49f1`.
- The post-sync run executes all 80 behavior assertions successfully
across the queue, assembled cleanup and updated upstream retention
suites. Its queue `afterAll` then exceeds the existing 30-second
database shutdown hook. That failed suite result is retained. The
controlled post-build queue rerun passes all 71 tests with normal
teardown. The earlier shutdown cause remains undetermined. Its owned
queue-test PostgreSQL process has exited. The separate local default
`pnpm test:run` was intentionally stopped after full unfiltered CI
passed on the exact head. Four local chat partitions completed before
that stop; this is not a local full-suite pass. The verified owned
process group and its PostgreSQL fixture have exited. Logs and retained
fixture data remain available. The timeout has not been increased.
- Full unfiltered CI passes on current head
`c7c2bcf08ffd05be5ce714683ae1dcfe6f5b49f1`: all 12 server shards, all
six internal chat partitions, all nine serialized server shards, the
workspace groups, native Runner lanes, typecheck, build and browser E2E.
Both required [ci /
verify](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41866478617/job/126711606613)
and [ci /
e2e](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41866478617/job/126711263146)
pass. The file selector is skipped, so this is the full CI test matrix.
The head has 55 successful checks and three expected skipped checks. The
ready-for-review contributor trust and security scan also pass.
- Current-head Greptile is 5/5, its check is successful, and no inline
review threads remain. The ordinary review check also passes. No merge,
deployment or original task retry was performed.

## Risks

- A predecessor with unfinished cleanup keeps its successor queued. Its
existing cleanup owner remains responsible for settlement.
- A task claim reads at most one additional predecessor row. A matching
source also uses the existing ownership and cleanup queries. The change
adds no timer, schema, credential, provider or model policy.
- A committed cleanup signal only requests normal admission. Current
ownership and independent execution gates still apply.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, code editing, tool use and
PostgreSQL verification. The session does not expose a more specific
serving model ID or context-window limit.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #18932, #18011, #18984.

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

**Paperclip version or commit**

The regression is present at `86814c6550f52e99ede150a883bdc773cbb540e3`.

**Deployment mode**

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip afbc5a885b fix(workspaces): save partial and shallow Git checkouts offline (#18990)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their workspaces.
> - A completed remote run must save its files before finalization can
release its source.
> - A shallow Git mirror uses upload-pack and can omit objects that
exist only in the index.
> - A filtered source can also fail when that mirror requests blobs the
source never downloaded.
> - Fetching missing history is not required to preserve an existing
partial checkout.
> - This change saves the available object stores and their existing
shallow, sparse, and promisor state.
> - The benefit is an offline save that preserves accepted work and
remains readable by the existing archive reader.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #16727, #18705, and #18935. These changes cover managed clones,
streaming capture, and safe diagnostics. This change repairs Git
snapshot contents.

**What happened?**

Remote workspace capture invokes a mirror clone before it saves the
archive. A shallow filtered sparse checkout with a missing promised blob
fails that clone and surfaces `remote_workspace_operation_failed`. An
ordinary shallow checkout can also lose an index-only object during the
mirror transfer.

**Expected behavior**

Capture preserves the objects already available in the checkout,
including staged work. It preserves partial, shallow, and sparse
semantics without remote hydration. Corrupt or unsupported state must
keep its source and receive no successful save receipt.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a real Git repository with two paths and commit history.
2. Clone it with `--filter=blob:none --depth=1 --sparse`, then select
one path.
3. Stage a change, edit it again, and add an untracked file.
4. Remove access to the original repository and capture the workspace.
5. The base capture fails before transfer. The changed capture restores
the available work after the original source is removed.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `86814c655`. The same transport/archive sources are
present in `76e43852a`.

## What Changed

- Preserve existing object files for shallow and partial repositories,
including their original promisor pack markers.
- Preserve shallow boundaries and the selected sparse settings and
patterns.
- Validate available object contents with full Git fsck. Reject unknown
corruption instead of creating new promises.
- Deny Git network protocols during capture. Keep the ordinary mirror's
explicit local file transport.
- Exclude ambient Git location, index, object-store, config, and
template overrides. Disable templates for init and clone.
- Keep the existing archive format, source fences, path guards,
credential allowlist, and failure retention.
- Add real command and reader regressions for full, shallow, filtered,
sparse, corrupt, and unsupported repositories.

## Verification

- Red: the compiled Node 24 transport completed helper installation,
then failed capture with the same generic operation error and no
transfer. Dirty source bytes remained intact.
- Red: the new full/shallow/partial transport-to-reader cases exposed
both filtered upload-pack failure and a missing staged-only object.
Independent review then reproduced accepted corrupt object bytes and
ambient template config/hook copying.
- Green: all 110 transport/archive cases pass after those repairs. They
cover staged, dirty, and untracked work; ordinary and forged-promisor
corruption; malformed filters; alternate stores; unsafe links;
credential redaction; and template isolation. An initial linked-worktree
config regression was fixed before this complete passing run.
- A compiled new capture restored through both the unchanged earlier
reader and the new reader after source removal. HEAD, status, work
bytes, sparse/shallow state, and the same missing promised object were
preserved. Full Git fsck passed. No remote protocol was permitted.
- Full repository `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass at
`91ca00a8327216def91303e19940e92ffe07c08f`. The build stamp names that
exact head.
- The [complete current-head CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41865961403/attempts/2)
is green: all 58 checks are terminal with no failure or pending check.
Three expected skips and one neutral review remain those states.
- Preserve the [first CI
attempt](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41865961403/attempts/1):
one browser case reached its 5-second heading deadline while the
conversation pane was loading; a chat worker reported shutdown; another
browser worker lost communication and its log blob was absent. A
failed-job-only retry passed at the same source head. No test deadline,
assertion, or source change was made for that retry.
- The complete local `pnpm test:run` passed all 1,904 chat cases across
six partitions. Its later general-server phase timed out two unchanged
tool-access cases at 15 seconds. That known-red command was stopped
before completion. Both cases then passed unchanged in a fresh isolated
process. The original timeout cause remains unknown; this is not a full
local-suite pass.
- [Greptile reports
5/5](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18990#issuecomment-6635931211)
at the current head with no actionable finding. The product review's
loose-object cost advisory was [answered with local measurements and
resolved](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18990#discussion_r4470261833).
There are no unresolved review threads.
- Original service acceptance remains unverified. Recorded checkout text
is mechanism-compatible narrative evidence, not proof of its physical
Git state or original failure cause. This PR includes no deployment or
additional live recovery.

## Risks

- Full object validation and copying available metadata use CPU and
temporary space proportional to the local object store.
- The offline path rejects alternate object stores and unsupported
partial filters. Such sources remain protected.
- Promised objects remain missing. Later work still needs ordinary
repository access to request them.
- There is no archive format or schema change. Existing readers restore
standard Git files, and existing full snapshots remain covered.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, repository tools, shell
execution, and local verification. The host does not expose a more
specific serving model ID or context window size.
