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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `e0276e0166c`.

## What Changed

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

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

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

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip da77c1bcfa fix(runner): align ordinary document key contracts (#18824)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents that do work.
> - Native agents use tools to read and write task documents.
> - A document key is a stable identifier. The service trims it and
converts it to lowercase before it checks the key.
> - The tool schemas accepted filenames and long keys that the service
rejects.
> - This pull request makes ordinary document tool schemas match the
existing service contract.
> - Agents can now see the key rules before they call the tools.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The schemas for `read_document`, `write_document`, and
`list_document_revisions` accepted `reconciliation.md` and keys longer
than 64 characters after normalization. The task document service
rejects these values. The descriptions did not explain that the key is
an identifier rather than a filename.

**Expected behavior**

The model catalog and the live and scenario tool definitions must
describe the existing document key rules. Values accepted after trimming
and conversion to lowercase must remain compatible. Historical
case-document keys use a separate contract.

**Steps to reproduce**

Validate `{ "key": "reconciliation.md" }` against the previous
`read_document` schema. It passes. Call the document service with that
key. It rejects the key before it reads the database. The added
regression repeats this comparison for all three tools.

## What Changed

- Apply the same document-key pattern to `read_task_document` and
`write_task_document` at the API bridge. Keep their existing raw-input
limit of 100 characters; ordinary tools keep 120. Export the shared
schema through the existing Runner package and server vendor boundary.
Route permissions, normalization and document locks stay with their
current owners.

- Add one shared schema for ordinary task-document keys. Keep the
existing 120-character raw input cap and the 64-character normalized
identifier limit.
- Preserve uppercase input, ECMAScript trim whitespace, and the Kelvin
sign, which converts to ASCII `k`.
- Apply the schema to the model catalog and the three live and scenario
definitions. Regenerate the catalogs, seeded fixture identity, and
fixture manifest.
- Test schema parity against the real task document service. Keep
historical case keys and the backend validator unchanged.

## Verification

- Current-head required CI is green at
`e67d3f1f49393660f0c70b3d1d136e6f86af821d`: 56 successful checks, four
intentional skips, and two neutral checks. [CI attempt
2](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41715924252)
passed after one targeted rerun of five jobs interrupted by the same
runner shutdown; the original interruption is retained. Fresh Greptile
and Paperclip reviews are both 5/5 with no unresolved review threads.
Hosted recovery remains unverified until automatic deployment and
replay.

- Normal master refresh to `e67d3f1f49393660f0c70b3d1d136e6f86af821d`
includes the already merged external-object startup fixture correction.
The previous required canary failed downloading
`mdast-util-gfm-table@2.0.1` with npm E404; later registry metadata and
tarball HEAD both returned 200. A separate general shard failed the
ten-thousand-future-objects startup assertion. Both original failures
remain recorded; neither was bypassed or retried. At the refreshed
baseline, 122 document/bridge cases and the exact large-object startup
case pass locally. Six document cases skip by platform. Fresh required
CI and reviews must pass on this head.

- The current-head Paperclip review found the same mismatch in the
task-scoped bridge. Before the correction, the real advertised schemas
failed 22 parity cases while 87 controls passed. After the correction
and a normal master refresh, the document-key and bridge suites pass 122
cases, with six platform-specific skips. The tests compare advertised
JSON Schema, runtime Zod validation, and the actual normalized document
service. They retain the bridge raw 100/101 boundary and historical
case-key controls.
- Runner TypeScript build, all server typecheck layers, and the actual
production Runner and server build pass. The final server build stamp
binds commit `80c880709c5f5630799fb8a48d54ff11ebc16610`. Full
current-head CI and fresh review are required after the correction. The
earlier CI run was externally cancelled and rerun; its cancellation
remains recorded.

- The regression failed in 33 of 64 cases before the fix. The remaining
cases passed as controls.
- The fixed regression passes all 67 cases, including every ECMAScript
trim character.
- The four focused Runner contract suites pass: 116 tests. They cover
all three tool surfaces and existing case behavior.
- Generated catalogs and manifest checks pass. Module-boundary and diff
checks pass.
- All server production typecheck layers pass. The test layer passes
after correcting the new test’s Ajv import. The full production server
and Runner build passes at a3e6191590.
- Full repository checks run in required CI. No hosted replay or
provider behavior claim is made.

## Risks

- The tool schema now rejects unsupported keys before the service does.
Older callers that used invalid filenames must use a stable key such as
`reconciliation`.
- The compatibility pattern must track the service normalization rules.
The regression checks the real service and includes Unicode
compatibility controls.
- No database, authorization, document revision, idempotency, or
case-document rules change.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol`, Extra High reasoning. The model used code
execution, repository tools, and test output. The host does not expose
the context window size.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip f7fae6b738 fix(runner): preserve native Claude GitHub broker transport (#18850)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Shared agents use managed GitHub launchers to acquire credentials
for the active run.
> - Native Claude runs through the ACPX provider environment boundary.
> - That boundary keeps the launcher paths but removes their broker
transport settings.
> - Shell commands then report `capability_missing`, even when connector
tools work.
> - This pull request retains the three transport settings for explicit
Claude managed launchers.
> - Shell commands can use the existing session broker and its current
access checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Native Claude through ACPX cannot authenticate shell `git` and `gh`
commands through an eligible managed GitHub connection. The launcher
reports `GitHub capability_missing`. Connector tools can still
authenticate through their own path.

**Expected behavior**

Managed shell commands acquire credentials for the active run. Provider
processes do not receive raw GitHub tokens or ambient host credentials.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Configure an eligible managed GitHub connection and a native Claude
ACPX execution.
2. Start a task and run `gh api user` through its terminal.
3. Observe `capability_missing`, although the corresponding connector
identity request succeeds.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced from source at `6ef37398c8d799c5142a3a6590ecc70ad352b663` and
current master `0b87308d5de93b4b8f18eeea89afc0bb4d9480a7` with
controlled local dependencies. The affected runtime is native Claude
through ACPX in a managed sandbox.

Related: #18212 preserves Claude launcher selectors. This change
supplies the missing broker transport. #18081 and #17599 address a
separate Legacy Codex shell-policy boundary. #15354 addresses Legacy
ACPX session hashes. The duplicate search found no open PR for this
native Claude boundary. ROADMAP.md already lists managed personal GitHub
identities; this restores that existing behavior.

## What Changed

- Retain the broker URL, session capability and bridge capability within
the existing explicit Claude managed-launcher allowlist.
- Continue to reject raw GitHub tokens, ambient broker settings,
task-supplied overrides and transport for other ACPX providers.
- Add real Bash and launcher subprocess controls with a loopback broker
and fixture Git/gh executables. Cover isolated, prepared and
preconfigured homes; changed operation identities; revocation; and
recovery.
- Confirm that broker capabilities stay out of persisted session
environment data. Update the execution guide.

The ACPX environment owner retains this behavior. Broker authorization
and credential resolution do not change. No shared API or schema changes
are needed.

## Verification

- Passing: 84 focused tests across `environment.test.ts`,
`github-launcher.test.ts`, `runtime-sandbox.test.ts` and
`configured-environment.test.ts` in the Runner package.
- Passing: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner
typecheck:typescript` and repository-wide `pnpm -r typecheck`.
- Passing: repository-wide `pnpm build`.
- Passing: 60 existing adapter-utils launcher tests; one unrelated test
is skipped.
- Passing: `node scripts/check-maps.mjs`, `node
scripts/check-module-boundaries.mjs`, and `git diff --check`.
- The new regression failed before the fix: both shell commands ran
anonymously and the unit check showed the three missing broker settings.
After the fix, the local broker receives each operation, changes
identity for later commands, and denies revoked access without reusing a
prior token.
- The prepared-home fixture first rejected a macOS temporary-directory
alias. It now resolves that fixture directory to its canonical path. A
launcher-control command also named a nonexistent package config; the
corrected run uses the root Vitest config.
- Both `pnpm test:run` attempts stopped in chat-suite setup when
embedded Postgres initialization exited with no numeric status. No chat
tests ran. An independent database-support probe between attempts
succeeded. The startup cause is not established; the full local suite is
not verified. No further identical retry was made.
- [CI run 41713841404, attempt
2](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41713841404)
passed on `92fd931722486c111030a7efe19dfc73f530b4c8`: 48 successful jobs
and one conditional skip. This includes browser shards, general and
serialized tests, Runner static/Rust/package/native-server checks,
build, typecheck and the canary dry run. No CI jobs remain pending or
failed.
- The first CI attempt was interrupted on multiple runners. Browser and
server/chat jobs logged runner shutdown signals followed by
cancellation. The Runner static check reported lost communication with
its runner. No failing browser assertion was recorded before
termination; the summary gates failed on interrupted jobs. The
successful retry used the same source revision. It shows recovery but
does not establish why the hosts stopped.
- Greptile reviewed `92fd931722486c111030a7efe19dfc73f530b4c8` at 5/5
with no outstanding findings. All review threads are resolved, and
GitHub reports the branch as mergeable with no conflicts.

The source tests use fixture credentials and a loopback broker on macOS
arm64 with Node 25.6.1. They do not qualify a live Claude process,
deployed sandbox, Windows shell or GitHub write. No existing run or
deployed configuration was changed.

## Risks

- Claude shell commands can read the explicitly supplied broker
capabilities. Managed launchers need those capabilities. The existing
broker still enforces active session/run binding, responsible identity,
trust and connection access.
- The exception applies only when the controller supplies a Claude
managed-launcher directory. Raw GitHub tokens remain excluded, and
broker settings remain absent from persisted session environment data.
- No migration is required. Existing provider processes need their
normal retirement and restart to receive a new launch environment.
Deployment and live sandbox verification remain separate steps.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` through the Codex harness, with xhigh reasoning.
Used repository inspection, code editing and shell execution. The
context window size is not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 1c9ca5829f perf(ci): overlap Runner workloads and cache debug workspace builds (#18794)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Required CI checks protect its server and Runner contracts.
> - Recent full runs waited on general server files and the final Runner
lane.
> - That Runner lane ran package tests before native server tests.
> - PR jobs also rebuilt unchanged debug workspace binaries.
> - This pull request overlaps those workloads and reuses exact trusted
build inputs.
> - The benefit is a shorter critical path with the same test coverage
and AWS authorization.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18544, #18773, #18774, #18798, #18799.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The wall time of required PR tests and the precision of affected-test
selection.

**Current behavior**

General server and native files use two workers. The second Runner
Vitest lane runs its package shard and then the native server group.
Each Runner job compiles debug workspace units again. A Vite raw import
also retains its consumer for unrelated source edits.

**Proposed behavior**

Use three isolated workers for general server files and four for native
files. Reuse the two Runner slots for a complete package suite and a
complete native server suite. Restore all debug binaries only on an
exact input key. Record raw imports as explicit file inputs.

## What Changed

- Separate the Runner package and native server workloads without adding
CI jobs. Preserve the old command arguments for master-pinned workflows,
local commands, and other shard counts.
- Increase file workers while retaining fork isolation, serial cases,
and the shared-database guard.
- Add an exact debug workspace cache. Derive binary targets from Cargo.
Include source, fixtures, generated inputs, manifests, compiler
identity, flags, Cargo configuration, and checkout path in its key.
Discard incomplete restores. Only verified master pushes can save it.
- Keep older PR checkouts working when they lack the new cache helper.
- Track Vite `?raw` imports as repository file inputs. Keep unknown
loaders, untracked files, and opaque effects conservative.
- Add cache and coverage guards and document the behavior. AWS runner
authorization is unchanged.
- Keep paired test benchmarking available when install hooks correctly
disable materialized dependency reuse. The old benchmark asserted a
cache hit in that safe fallback.
- Wait for active dispatch work to finish before asserting idle reads.
Analyze the two 16,400-row database fixtures before their queries so
they have current planner statistics. Suppress only PostgreSQL notices
inside the cleanup transaction to avoid logging every cascaded table;
warnings/errors remain visible. Row counts, real queries, assertions,
database reset, and timeouts remain unchanged.

## Verification

- 196 affected CI tests passed, including routing, coverage, selection
failure fallbacks, shared-database serialization, and existing/new cache
guards. Final worker/cache adjustments also passed their focused checks.
- `pnpm build` and `pnpm -r typecheck` passed locally. Full test
coverage is being verified by the Linux CI profile; `pnpm test:run` was
not repeated as a full serial local run. The paired CI benchmark passed.
Both paired benchmarks passed, and full CI passed again after
integrating newer master commits. The external Paperclip Review app is
the only pending status.
- Actual debug artifacts remained fresh after simulating checkout
timestamps: Cargo completed in 0.82 seconds; the content key was
unchanged. This is local reuse evidence, not a measured GitHub cache
transfer.
- Same real UI inventory for a retention-test-only change: 861 files;
retained selection fell from 413 to 401. All 12 omitted files are
raw-input consumers; edits to their inputs remain covered by regression
tests.
- The first local worker comparison is invalid. Development dependency
links disappeared during its second run. The two-worker baseline also
had two macOS path assertions in company-skills. Neither result is
counted as a successful speedup. Dependencies were restored. A local
repeat was interrupted before producing results. The completed Linux
comparison below supplies the valid paired evidence.
- [Paired Linux
benchmark](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41671244016):
baseline and candidate ran the same 113 general-server files and 1,777
cases on one host. Wall time fell from 381.29s to 346.89s (9.0%). Both
exited successfully and file/case inventories matched exactly. The
fixture command took 31.77s versus 28.65s. This is one sequential pair,
excluding setup, queueing and the full CI critical path.
- [Repeat paired Linux
benchmark](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41675496862):
the same 113 files and 1,974 cases took 485.06s in the baseline versus
368.54s in the candidate (24.0%). File and case inventories again
matched exactly. The baseline includes newer master changes than the
first pair, so these are two independent comparisons, not repeated
timings of an identical tree.
- Initial full AWS profile: package suite passed 4,891 tests (289 files,
one skipped); native suite passed 172 tests (9 files, 12 pre-existing
platform/feature skips). Native execution took 239.06 seconds; the older
sample ran 165 native tests in 391.29 seconds. The package lane now
takes 11m01 including setup and debug compilation. This is an indicative
cross-run comparison, not a paired full-CI speedup claim.
- The initial run failed two UI fixtures, one serialized inbox
settlement assertion, and one dispatch idle assertion. The two UI
failures reproduced locally. The fixes preserve authorization,
admission, and zero-idle-read assertions. All four affected files passed
locally: 48/48 tests. Token gates passed. All four also passed in the
next AWS profile. That profile passed every other workload but timed out
the 16,400-row keyed attention fixture at its existing 180s limit; this
is accounted for by the explicit fixture-statistics change. Local
focused comparisons pass both large cases before and after; their
roughly 33s test execution is unchanged locally, so this is not claimed
as an additional speed gain. A full local file run passed both large
cases (7.57s / 18.05s) but hit the unchanged 30s teardown deadline on
its first test while emitting thousands of cascade notices. Cleanup now
suppresses those notices within its transaction; the complete file then
passed 34/34 in 107.72s. The latest-head AWS run passed the previously
failing shard: the keyed bulk case took 40.25s (previously exceeded
180s), the keyless case took 8.02s, and the complete attention file took
89.61s. The 16,400-row fixtures and original timeouts remain intact.
- [Full CI profile before master
integration](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41675497699)
passed on commit `5858956d4ac2c99c911ad2447b63e1f8fc84e31e`, including
all tests, build, typecheck and final verification. Greptile reviewed
that exact commit at 5/5; the only actionable review thread is resolved.
The separate Paperclip Review app is still queued.
- [Final merged-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41678956312)
passed on `499aa206a6e03bf8f3249692ea731367a000591d`: 48 successful jobs
and one intentionally skipped file-selection job. Backup checkpoint
qualification and legacy security status passed. Greptile reviewed this
exact commit at 5/5. The PR is conflict-free; only the separate
Paperclip Review app remains queued.
- Integrated current master after #18798 and #18799 merged the inbox and
UI fixture fixes separately. Preserved master's inbox settlement fix and
verified its entire file (6/6 tests). Those three files are no longer
part of this PR's diff. Removed the temporary `profile-ci` label after
both successful benchmark pairs; the normal planner still schedules
every job because the CI configuration changes are global inputs.
- Second AWS profile: native tests took 229.97s with the same 172 passes
/ 12 skips; package tests took 427.44s with 4,891 passes / 10 skips. The
complete package job took 10m44, including setup and 79s debug
compilation.
- The PR uses the trusted workflow from master. Candidate worker/layout
code runs now; workflow-level debug restores begin after merge and the
first successful master cache writer.

## Risks

- Extra workers can expose load-sensitive tests. The final full CI
profile passed, but one run is not a long-term flake-rate measurement.
- The cache is an optimization only. Misses rebuild, and test commands
still execute. A new Cargo workspace member requires a cache-contract
review.
- Compiler alternatives remain experiments. Required TypeScript checks
are unchanged.

Typechecker experiment: three sequential checks per tool on identical
built projects, with TypeScript 7.0.2, Bun 1.4.4, and tsrs
0.20.1-ts7.1.0-beta. Median seconds (TypeScript / Bun / tsrs): shared
0.429 / 0.083 / 0.157; UI 2.554 / 0.390 / 0.740; server 9.949 / 1.194 /
1.782. TypeScript and Bun passed all three projects. All tools caught
the same four deliberate assignment, property, nullability, and
generic-constraint errors. tsrs reported one additional server TS2345
diagnostic in the run-dispatch adapter, so it did not pass the project
comparison. These local compiler times exclude generation and build
steps; they are not full CI savings.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

**Deployment mode**

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

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

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

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

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

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

## Risks

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

DottaandPaperclip 27d35314be feat: connect experimental Cursor Cloud to native Runner (#18069)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents at work.
> - Native Runner owns execution and task authority.
> - Operators need an explicit native Cursor Cloud choice.
> - Tools/files need company, task, session and run scope.
> - This connects setup and lifecycle to Runner Core.
> - Legacy agents retain their selected runtime/history.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Depends on #18068. Managed-only API placement and API-owned Stop
containment are in #18310. Refs #5664, #11803, #17299, and #17471. No
duplicate native integration was found.

## What Changed

- Add explicit native setup, Test, saved settings and dispatch with
no-prompt account/catalog/callback checks.
- Scope MCP to company, agent, task, session and run through
authenticated HTTPS. Register verified artifacts/work products; preserve
unpriced accounting, completion and budgets.
- Connect Question/Plan continuation, cold handoff and admitted fresh
sessions; recheck waiting admission under the task lock.
- Present audited Stop intent while preserving physical containment
proof; bound typed Stop metadata. Preserve title edits through
preference/navigation readiness.
- Select one live/history representation per run to prevent duplicate
settled cards. Integrate upstream task/read-state/retry/schema contracts
and repair two test fixtures.

## Verification

Core #18068 merged normally as `3910352c923a`. Product head
`5a60f541c982` has passing repository CI/build/browser checks, including
required `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e`, plus a fresh exact-head Greptile
5/5 review with zero unresolved threads. Two non-required external app
checks remain pending: Paperclip Review is queued waiting for its
assigned agent; Superagent Security Scan is reviewing the diff. These
are not claimed completed. The normal merge endpoint enforces the
repository rules; no policy or status override is used. The dependent
Top PR is addressing its fresh deferred-Stop review finding.

Product `5a60f541c982` passed 270 UI and 20 selected
Cloud/native/disk-full tests, UI/server typechecks, tokens and maps.
Top’s clean normal merge passed tokens/maps/diff checks; its matrix is
pending. Earlier receipts retain Core’s 47 Rust, 4 compiled-native
retirement and 19 settlement controls, normal Runner build, and runtime
9af build/recursive typecheck. Reproduced loading/shutdown CI fixture
failures passed 7/7 browser and 121/121 unit tests, including a
broken-unsubscribe negative control. No timeout/oracle was relaxed.

The actual-parent restack adopts 75 mainline paths, including
schema/permission and generic runtime changes, beyond the prior two
fixture repairs and client projection fix. The full difference from
hosted `9af1a5de42a2` is therefore larger than four files; backend
source also differs. The merged config-read checks match Core391, and
the Cursor placement/runtime/relay/selection modules match frozen9af;
selected affected regressions pass. Paid proof keeps its actual 9af
source/image identity. The separately tested live/history card fix is
not claimed deployed on that host.

On 9af, original saved settings survived reopening and fresh no-prompt
Test authenticated catalog/model/binding; no new Save is claimed. Fresh
Linux admission passed. With `claude-sonnet-4-5`, Artifact downloaded
exact 27 bytes and matched 121 canonical identities in complete
S3-served history. First Stop’s strict quiet FAILED on a 10.373-second
gap despite independent cancellation/no late artifact. One targeted
unchanged-sampler retry retained all 24 samples: 35.076 seconds quiet /
maximum gap 4.584 seconds, 67 ordered canonical identities, and separate
CANCELLED/artifact-absent status after the original 180-second deadline.
The pre-reload duplicate settled card is disclosed. Exact-ID cleanup for
the three new provider agents is awaiting authorization, so full grades
and the fresh Artifact’s post-cleanup download remain blocked. A
historical deleted-provider artifact was newly downloaded on 9af;
original F226 Question/Plan/reconnect and cleanup proof keep their
identities.

Retained failures: stale fixture 132/133; E8 48/135 with 87 reset-hook
failures; Mac 17 SQL failures/skips; earlier
title/startup/custody/Stop/deletion failures with unknown causes/bounded
recoveries; `dea023` Stop’s warning/50 duplicate identities; pre-repair
ACK and original Core CI failures. WSP’s 251-assertion, 7/8-suite
attempt failed physical PostgreSQL teardown; the unchanged wrapper rerun
passed 128. Retry alone establishes no cause or full local-suite pass.
All paid attempts remain recorded; vendor dollar cost is UNKNOWN.

## Risks

Experimental: Cursor independently acknowledges neither the effective
model nor instruction digest before the first prompt. Explicit values
are submitted and checked through behavior; unpriced provider dollar
cost stays UNKNOWN.

Callbacks need authenticated reachable HTTPS. Scope, revocation,
budgets, completion and cleanup remain authoritative. Operator Stop
intent is separate from physical containment. Saved legacy agents retain
their selected runtime. Prior shared title-save/deletion failures remain
disclosed.

## Model Used

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

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

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

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

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

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

## Risks

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

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

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 07721e33f7 fix(runner): distinguish new skill authoring from source imports (#18717)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people manage agents and shared company skills.
> - Agents can author new skills or add existing skills from approved
sources.
> - Source import and catalog install retain the source used by update,
audit and reset flows.
> - The create_skill tool described saving complete Markdown, without
explaining this choice.
> - An agent can therefore read an existing source and create an
unrelated managed copy.
> - This PR explains the distinction in the existing tool contract and
tests its actual model-facing projections.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The model-facing description of create_skill and the choice between
authoring and source import.

**Current behavior**

The tool says it saves a complete single-file skill. It does not
distinguish new authored content from adding an existing skill. The
Company Skills reference already directs external sources to import and
catalog skills to install.

**Proposed behavior**

The tool explains that it saves newly authored content. It directs
existing-source work to the existing import or install APIs through
search_api and call_api. It retains the existing assignment and retry
guidance.

**Reason and benefit**

A managed copy does not retain the original source locator. Clear
guidance helps an agent choose the source-aware operation without adding
a tool or changing permissions. This is a guidance repair. It does not
claim that the import backend failed.

## What Changed

- Clarify the canonical documentation, live descriptor and scenario
descriptor for create_skill.
- Test the actual discovered contract and provider projection, including
API claim and company-boundary negatives.
- Refresh generated descriptions and the seeded catalog digest and
manifest entry.

## Verification

- A focused regression fails on the parent because the actual discovered
contract lacks the authoring versus import distinction.
- Three focused pure suites pass: 48 tests. They include existing skill
creation, retry, schema and authorization controls.
- The source-owned serializers and protocol fixture validator
regenerated the inventories without an app or native build.
- Both generated inventories change only create_skill description.
Arguments, required claims, modes, idempotency and all other tools
remain byte-equivalent.
- Current head `bca441726a6cba80e6e7da0321db59e27183c5b8` passes
required `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e`; the full main CI run has 49
successful jobs. Windows, Docker, security and review checks also pass
or are intentionally skipped. Greptile and the final Paperclip review
are 5/5, with zero unresolved threads. This PR remains deliberately
unmerged for the separately reviewed evaluation candidate.

- Original head CI preserved: one unrelated UI clipboard-confirmation
assertion failed after the clipboard call passed; 47 other executions
succeeded and the final verify check failed as its dependent. The two UI
owners are unchanged from the base. Exact React scheduler/timer timing
is unknown. No unchanged-head retry was used before the necessary master
conflict sync.
- The conflict sync preserves incoming task-assignment guidance and
regenerates metadata. It is not a fix for the UI test failure. The
synchronized current head passes CI and review. No same-head recovery
was consumed.

## Risks

The description changes model context and the catalog digest. It may
affect tool choice, but actual same-request and same-model acceptance is
still pending. The change does not alter authorization, API behavior or
grading. Local checks did not run the app, database, native runner, full
graph typecheck or build. Intermediate test-fixture claim and placement
mistakes were corrected; the final focused run passes. Do not treat
these pure controls as a feature pass.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol (`gpt-6.1-sol`) through Codex, with reasoning, source
inspection and tool execution. The host does not report a context-window
size.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

**Paperclip version or commit**

Source checkout based on `f8a888a072`.

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 1bc3ed6dd5 fix(opencode): keep native tool calls pending until Runner settlement (#18711)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native OpenCode sends semantic tool calls through the durable Runner
protocol.
> - The Runner retains a call until its result is known.
> - OpenCode and its HTTP bridge each stopped waiting after 30 seconds.
> - A slow response could leave a call pending after the provider had
moved on.
> - A later run then failed the pending-call guard during attachment.
> - This pull request keeps native calls under their Runner owner until
settlement or cancellation.
> - The benefit is one delivered result and a safe next run.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #18343 applies the durable wait policy to native ACPX calls.
This change applies that policy to native OpenCode.

**What happened?**

An assigned tool call took more than 30 seconds. OpenCode reported an
MCP timeout while the Runner still retained the request. The source turn
could finish, but suspension failed. A later `run.attach` failed because
provider tool calls were still pending.

**Expected behavior**

The native proxy must wait for the authoritative result under the Runner
owner. Stop, bridge close, and lease expiry must still end the wait.
Unknown effects must still block attachment.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a native OpenCode run with an assigned semantic tool.
2. Hold the controller's result for 31 seconds.
3. Observe the provider's MCP result and attach a later run to the
session.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced against `6d72243d8af0362d73fbcb5331fd42a384800d4e`. The
branch is based on `36df8933f0`.

## What Changed

- The native OpenCode proxy enables a driver capability for durable tool
requests.
- That capability removes the bridge's separate request timer and sets
OpenCode's fixed MCP client ceiling to one hour, consistent with the
native ACPX sidecar.
- Ordinary driver calls keep their 30-second deadline. Assigned external
MCP connections keep their existing budget.
- Cancellation, result replay, tool authorization, and the pending-call
attachment guard keep their existing contracts.
- The native regression holds a result for 31 seconds, then completes a
second run with the same Runner process and no pending provider calls.
- The deterministic provider fixture honors the emitted MCP budget and
retains the initial completion contract across ordinary follow-ups.
- Execution semantics and the session verification maps describe the
wait and its safety checks.

## Verification

- Red before production edits: the bridge aborted a durable request at
the ordinary 30-second boundary. The driver emitted `30000` instead of
the expected `3600000` client budget.
- The final combined bridge, driver, proxy, and native protocol run
passed: 95 tests in five files (71.17 seconds).
- The native delayed-result probe passed with the current Rust Runner
and current bundled proxy. It completed the later run with the same
Runner PID and an empty pending-call ledger.
- Actual provider check passed on macOS arm64 with
`opencode-ai@1.18.34`, the changed source, and a local deterministic
OpenAI-compatible model. One assigned write waited 31 seconds and saved
one file. Both turns completed. The second turn retained the saved tool
receipt. The write ran once across five model requests.
- Bridge safety cases cover result replay without another action,
ordinary timeout behavior, MCP cancellation, and teardown of an
unanswered durable request.
- Both runner TypeScript projects passed typecheck. The first attempt
lacked the eval-kernel build; it passed after building that declared
dependency.
- Map alignment, module boundaries, and `git diff --check` passed.
- The first native follow-up probe failed because its synthetic provider
forgot the initial completion-contract revision. This caused a repair
turn and another discovery call. The fixture now retains the contract,
and the same probe passed. The failure is retained here.
- Runtime acceptance used the implementation at `583d316ad4`. The later
clarification commit changes comments, documentation, and a test name
only. It does not change runtime behavior.
- Full current-head CI passes, including typecheck, build, general and
serialized tests, Rust/Runner checks, all eight E2E shards, and the `ci
/ e2e` and `ci / verify` aggregate gates. Greptile is 5/5 on this
commit, with no unresolved review threads. No deployment or retry of the
affected historical task was performed. The actual provider check used a
local model; it does not qualify a deployed Linux sandbox or a live
model service.

## Risks

- A native call can wait longer while its Runner owner remains valid.
Stop, teardown, and lease expiry still end the wait. The MCP client has
a separate fixed one-hour ceiling. Runner ownership can renew beyond
that ceiling. If the client deadline expires first, the operation
outcome remains unknown and the existing hold must still block replay
and run attachment.
- This prevents new premature timeouts. It does not classify or replay
an old request whose effect remains unknown.
- No schema, migration, credential, or permission change is required.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The harness does not expose the exact
model ID or context window. Capabilities used: code generation,
tool-assisted diagnosis, local execution, and test analysis.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

**Deployment mode**

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

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

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

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

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

I did not run this on a real VM.

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 09162fe893 refactor(runner): clarify native task assignment guidance (#18704)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people assign work to AI agents.
> - Native task creation can start the assigned agent as soon as the
task is ready.
> - The default assignee is the agent that creates the task.
> - An agent can omit the requested teammate, create work for itself,
and reassign it too late.
> - The server already supports setting the requested agent and project
during creation.
> - This pull request makes those fields and the early-start risk clear
in both tool catalogs and the delegated-task example.
> - The benefit is clearer guidance for the existing delegation
contract.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #13281.

**What happened?**

An observed delegation attempt called `create_task` with only a title
and retry key. The task used the documented current-agent default and
started work before a later reassignment. The server honored its
contract. The original failed QA result remains failed.

**Expected behavior**

When a user names an existing teammate and project, the agent should put
their exact IDs in `assigneeActorId` and `projectId` during task
creation. The requested worker can then start with the correct task
ownership and project.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Ask an agent to create work for a named existing teammate in a named
project.
2. Create a ready task with only its title and retry key.
3. Observe that the creating agent is assigned and can start before a
later reassignment.

This is a guidance mitigation for agent tool misuse. It does not change
the default or enforce model compliance. A fresh deployed qualification
is still required.

## What Changed

- Explain initial teammate and project selection in the canonical
`create_task` description and its two field descriptions.
- Add a representative delegated-task call with an explicit agent,
project, and saved plan.
- Synchronize the same three descriptions in the sibling semantic-action
catalog. Keep its schema constraints intact.
- Keep the global execution prompt byte-for-byte equal to the base.
Revision `paperclip-execution.v8` already directs the agent to create
delegated work with the teammate ID.
- Refresh the generated catalogs, seeded catalog identity, and protocol
manifest.
- Make the collaboration contract test use the declared scenario
example, as the general contract test already does. Retain separate
live-example validation and strict scenario input checks.

## Verification

- All 79 existing native controls passed across `chat-project-tools`,
`paperclip-runner-tool-authority`, `task-creation-backlog`, and
`tool-receipt-recovery`. These cover alternate-agent readback,
current-agent defaults, backlog holds, company boundaries, and dispatch
recovery after commit.
- All 108 protocol-action, semantic-catalog, catalog-doc,
runtime-context, and collaboration checks passed. All 11 contract
fingerprint checks passed.
- The original CI collaboration-test failure reproduced locally before
correction: the test sent live-only fields to the older scenario schema.
After selecting the declared scenario example, all 13 collaboration
cases passed. Malformed titles, undeclared project fields, and arbitrary
unknown fields still reject. No schema or live example was changed for
this correction.
- Generator checks passed for semantic contracts, the semantic-action
catalog, operation groups, and protocol coverage.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, `node scripts/check-maps.mjs`, and
`git diff --check` passed.
- A structural comparison confirms that types, required fields, lengths,
modes, permissions, outputs, and defaults are unchanged on both catalog
surfaces.
- No new text-matching tests were added. These local checks passed again
after the global prompt was restored. Fresh exact-head Greptile and
Paperclip reviews are both 5/5 with no actionable findings.
[Current-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41565349812)
completed successfully on `2e5f93e122191e17b316a7780a74ff404fc468f3`
(attempt 2), with all 49 workflow jobs successful.
- Current-head CI first failed only the unchanged native-process
retention case at its original five-second limit. The shard passed 2,130
other tests and skipped eight. One unchanged local Node 24 control
passed. The original test and retention dependency blobs match the base.
The exact timeout cause remains unknown. No source, assertion, or time
limit changed. One authorized recheck of only that runner shard and its
normal final gate passed. The recheck passed 2,131 tests and skipped
eight. The other 47 successful job results were carried forward with
their original start and finish times.
- The prior head `42207172dd4bc376dab880dbccb2c698acccf6c4` passed all
49 CI jobs and fresh 5/5 reviews. Its first CI attempt lost one server
runner to a reported shutdown. One authorized retry of only that lost
shard and its normal gate passed with unchanged assertions and time
limits. The original failure and recovery remain recorded.
- A normal merge of that prior head was rejected by the base policy
because the global prompt required a code-owner review. This revision
drops that optional global change. No policy override or bypass was
used.
- The new catalogs have semantic catalog digest
`sha256:5af904b7fc088509b98dde41611c042ff3c22c881e252190817978de0d1b733a`.
The authorized `create_task` operation digest is
`sha256:f5dad10c7969680d91514603966705ac09ceaa3f2cff21fd6c199e2de0d7a63d`.
- A new run can report admitted prompt revision v8 and its digest. The
ordinary run-profile tool fingerprint does not hash these descriptions.
Source/Core and matching provider-pack identity prove deployed code, not
model delivery or compliance. A fresh campaign with new agents is still
required.
- No model run or deployed acceptance was performed for this source
change. The original failed qualification remains failed. This
tool-guidance change is a mitigation hypothesis.

## Risks

The longer tool descriptions change the catalog identity. A model can
still omit a requested field. The global prompt remains v8. Existing
assignment, authorization, wake, replay, and session behavior stays
intact. A new campaign is required because a stored provider session can
retain old tool declarations. A native-process retention test has a
recurring five-second timeout on unchanged code. One unchanged local
Node 24 control passed. This does not prove CI reliability or explain
the timeout. No timeout or assertion was changed.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex with reasoning and code execution. The
runtime does not expose a more specific model identifier or
context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 16643a6e03 fix(runner): recover pending Stop cleanup after controller restart (#18682)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The server owns execution, Stop delivery, and usage settlement.
> - A Stop can remain pending when the controller restarts.
> - Recovery must reach the existing session without starting more paid
work.
> - Startup and budget fences currently block that cleanup, and
interrupted runs leave the restart selection.
> - This pull request gives exact audited Stop cleanup a shared
authority check and records its real acknowledgement.
> - The benefit is safe cleanup while usage debt remains honest.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A pending native run-only Stop can retain an unfinished execution owner
after controller loss. Its startup cancellation fence prevents recovery
admission. If teardown marks the run interrupted and clears its task
lock, restart selection also omits it. A recovered session can receive
cancellation without the durable acknowledgement that the normal Stop
request would save.

**Expected behavior**

Recover only the existing remote session for the audited pending Stop.
Keep fresh provider work blocked, including during budget pause. Keep
incomplete usage pending until a real complete receipt arrives.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a native run with a held reservation and an authenticated
remote checkpoint.
2. Persist a run-only Stop and its startup and execution cancellation
fences before acknowledgement.
3. Lose the controller. Leave the coordinator unfinished, mark the run
interrupted, and clear its task lock.
4. Attempt restart recovery and observe the missing claim or
cancellation admission rejection.

Related work: #14733 binds caller Stop requests. #18658 handles plugin
startup cleanup obligations. #18035 proposes broader accounting changes.
This change repairs existing-session Stop recovery and preserves current
accounting guards.

## What Changed

- Add one shared check for the exact run, company, issue, pending Stop,
intent audit, live recovery lease, generation, and remote reattachment
disposition.
- Include eligible interrupted Stop owners in restart selection. Keep
generic interruptions and another task execution owner fenced.
- Reuse only the original held reservation for cleanup. Keep budget
pause effective for fresh, bootstrap, dead-runner, and unproven recovery
work.
- Apply the same cleanup authority at heartbeat runtime selection and
native entry. Skip attachment staging and warm-owner retirement only for
that exact cleanup. Revalidate at session publication and fail closed if
the proof changed.
- Send the existing Stop through the audited cancellation producer
before turn submission. Close the coordinator only after
acknowledgement, including system-owned run-only Stops.
- Give verified cleanup a transport purpose that retains pending
semantic inputs without replay, dispatch, or a semantic reply. Add an
explicit Core retain-only intake mode; preserve authenticated identity,
schema, digest, sequence and replay checks. Ordinary execution still
requires its dispatcher.
- Add PostgreSQL, native protocol, and startup-fence regressions. Update
the execution contract and recovery maps.

## Verification

- The combined Stop regression fails on unchanged production at the
cancellation reservation guard. Interrupted restart selection also fails
before the repair while its running sibling passes.
- An assembled `heartbeatService.recoverNativeRunsAfterRestart`
regression exposes the earlier runtime-selection fence with the rest of
the repair present. The fixed path reaches selector/claim, runtime
selection, original held-budget reuse during pause, dispatch, real
native protocol, audited cancellation, and heartbeat settlement. It
starts no provider turn, acquires no new sandbox, and does not reclaim
the task lock.
- Fail-if-called attachment staging and turn boundaries remain
untouched. A retained warm-owner regression prevents retirement.
Invalidation at session publication fails closed. Actual backend/driver
constructor tests verify cleanup-purpose forwarding, absent default
options, and denial under foreign ownership.
- Missing usage retains accounting debt and the hold. A later complete
receipt records one 25-cent charge and settles that same hold.
Concurrent duplicate cleanup is denied. Both user-owned and system-owned
Stops pass.
- Real transport tests: 9 pass on Node 24.22.1. They preserve ordinary
saved-tool and completion recovery, prove the authority-denial race
before cancellation, and qualify cleanup with pending
ordinary/completion inputs and either handler ordering.
- Real authenticated Core intake: 11 pass. Callback-present and
callback-absent retain-only cases persist and acknowledge unanswered
input without dispatch, recovery or result. Default missing-dispatcher
rejection and digest-integrity/suspension guards remain effective.
Omitting the callback alone first failed by disconnecting; the explicit
retain-only mode fixes that defect.
- Repository `pnpm -r typecheck`, the server/runner-vendor build, map
checks, and module boundary checks passed locally before integrating the
latest retained-startup change. That integration passes 11 native
startup/cleanup compatibility cases and 3 assembled recovery/accounting
cases. The final broad affected-suite attempt was stopped without a
verdict; it is incomplete. Full repository tests and build are delegated
to current-head GitHub CI.
- Review exposed an additional real-process close failure with
unanswered input. The corrected path requires a fresh exact
provider-stop receipt confirming exit, followed by durable event drain
and exact runner suspension. All 11 focused transport cases pass,
including missing/false exit-proof negatives and ordinary recovery
siblings. Runner TypeScript and map validation pass after this
correction.
- The assembled test controls provider, workspace-transfer and GitHub
bootstrap I/O. It does not qualify hosted credentials, physical provider
termination, workspace preservation, or historical receipt recovery.
Local socket-permission setup failures are separate from semantic
regression results. No hosted replay has run on this repair.

- CI exposed an ordinary factory-call compatibility regression and an
obsolete authority-read test fixture. The repair preserves
single-argument ordinary calls and updates the race fixture without
changing its Stop assertions. The complete native executor suite now
passes all 1,049 tests; the ordinary factory boundary and all five
Stop-accounting cases pass. A separate local environment-default case
twice exceeded its five-second wait while other work ran; its prior-head
CI case passed. The same unchanged case passed an isolated diagnostic
without changing its assertion or timeout; the precise contention source
remains unproven.

- The final fixture edit initially used the wrong overloaded promise
type. CI rejected it; the annotation-only correction passes the exact
`pnpm run typecheck:build-gaps` entry point locally, including server
service tests and remaining workspaces. No runtime assertion changed.

- Final exact head `007fd4d04a2d6338c6dc073e97ab470a277fc3d0`: required
`ci / verify` and `ci / e2e`, build, typecheck and test groups pass.
Greptile is 5/5 with both findings resolved. Three expected checks are
skipped; the optional native check is neutral, while its final
current-head comment gives 5/5 from source inspection without a checkout
or test execution. The first server-shard attempt lost its self-hosted
runner connection; one scoped rerun passed. Its original annotation and
unavailable-log evidence are retained.

## Risks

- This changes execution authority. Cleanup requires an audited, exactly
bound pending Stop, an unfinished coordinator, a live remote
reattachment claim, and the original held reservation. It never
authorizes a replacement provider turn.
- Missing checkpoint, original held reservation, termination, or usage
evidence can keep cleanup or accounting pending. The repair does not
manufacture acknowledgement, replies, receipts, or zero cost.
- Retain-only intake is an internal trusted constructor option. It
changes no agent tool permission. Ordinary callback requirements and
semantic dispatch remain unchanged.
- No schema, public API, provider profile, or deployment setting changes
are required.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, `gpt-6.1-sol`, Extra High reasoning, with source
inspection, code execution, and regression testing. The context-window
capacity is not exposed in this session.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip f8a888a072 feat(runner): define bounded startup lifetime contracts (#18490)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Native sessions and plugin workers have separate startup lifetimes.
> - A caller timeout does not prove that a worker or an accepted host
write has stopped.
> - Shared startup code needs an exact deadline and an actual settlement
contract.
> - This PR adds those contracts and tests them before any production
caller uses them.
> - The dependent integration in #18405 will use the contracts with
verified cleanup.
> - This split lets reviewers assess the lifetime rules separately from
runtime activation.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18405. This PR extracts the foundation from that change. The
integration will depend on this PR.

**Problem or motivation**

A bounded startup must distinguish the caller's wait from actual worker
completion. A late worker reply or an accepted host request can outlive
the original RPC promise. A shorter timeout must not discard that
responsibility or authorize a replacement run.

**Proposed solution**

Add one Core execution context, optional Runner startup deadlines, and
worker settlement and retirement APIs. Test the contracts with real
child-process IPC. Keep production context creation, transport
projection, capability negotiation, durable cleanup, and Stop/recovery
integration in #18405.

**Alternatives considered**

One combined PR mixed the lifetime contract with its activation and
cleanup policy. Activating a shorter deadline before the complete
transport and cleanup path is unsafe. Splitting only the SDK
declarations would not provide a useful behavioral review boundary.

**Roadmap alignment**

This supports the existing plugin, sandbox execution, and bounded
recovery capabilities. It adds no new product workflow, endpoint,
migration, provider or runtime dependency.

## What Changed

- Add `NativeExecutionContext`. It retains the selected input, binds one
transport target, rejects work after cancellation or expiry, and tracks
actual worker settlement. Expiry alone does not complete pending work.
- Add worker startup groups. A caller timeout retains the group's
responsibility. Retirement revokes obsolete invocation scopes, waits for
accepted host handlers, and retires only the verified group's
bookkeeping. Each cleanup wait is bounded; an unfinished handler remains
pending for a later retry.
- Add an optional Runner startup signal and absolute deadline for
session open and retained attachment. Clean up abort listeners after
synchronous failures. Existing callers keep their default timeout path.
- Expose the remaining confirmed controller-lease budget without a new
query or renewal timer.
- Add optional SDK context and preparation-retirement fields. No
production bridge sends or advertises them in this slice.
- Keep the required lease mock update with the new `remainingMs()`
contract so this foundation typechecks independently.

Production activation files, including the native executor and
environment task bridge, match the current master base. No production
caller constructs `NativeExecutionContext` or passes the new Runner
startup option. This PR adds no durable cleanup producer and claims **no
standalone TTFT improvement**. The dependent integration must enable the
context, transport and verified cleanup together.

## Verification

Initial split verification on
`8ebc8a2f9c6c02e90f920356138b3742a4067b28`, based on
`9a3f395737e7a92faf99971459979061d423531a`:

- From `server`: `../node_modules/.bin/vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-execution-context.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-execution-context-worker.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-execution-lease.test.ts` — **17
passed**. Includes real child IPC, caller timeout with late reply,
worker death, accepted host-handler draining, obsolete cleanup
invocation rejection, unrelated work preservation, context scope,
expiry, and confirmed lease budget.
- From `packages/paperclip-runner`: `../../node_modules/.bin/vitest run
src/native-session-runtime.test.ts` — **188 passed**. Includes existing
callers without the new option and new
synchronous-failure/expired-deadline cases for fresh and retained
sessions.
- Direct TypeScript checks for `packages/plugins/sdk/tsconfig.json` and
`packages/paperclip-runner/tsconfig.json` — passed. Built only their
shared/eval TypeScript prerequisites.
- From `server`: `../node_modules/.bin/tsc --noEmit` — passed.
- Checked the partition against the reviewed combined candidate. The
twelve selected files match exactly. The thirteenth file carries only
the required test-mock update. The production executor, bridge and
target wiring remain equal to the base.
- `git diff --check`, added-line secret/private-data scan, and
added-code-comment scan — passed. No generated files or run artifacts
are committed.
- The first old-base split passed its focused tests but failed server
typechecking because the unchanged executor test mock lacked
`remainingMs()`. The original failure is retained. Moving that one-line
mock update into this foundation resolved the split dependency; the
final current-master checks above pass.
- Full local CI suites, Rust builds, deployments and provider calls were
not run, as requested. GitHub CI will provide full regression coverage.
Current-head GitHub CI, standard review and Apex are complete; exact
acceptance is recorded below.

Review follow-up `d7635f4d280dab757a3666703737bcda955c9361` fixes three
reproduced lifetime edge cases. A retiring startup group rejects new
calls and shares one retirement promise; failed bounded retirement
remains retryable. Transport identity uses a fixed field tuple rather
than object-property order. Finishing a context rejects pending lookup
waits without aborting an already-started backend or pretending the
worker completed. All three new regressions failed before the fix; the
updated foundation selection passes **20 tests**, including actual IPC
and failed-retirement retry. Server typechecking and added-line checks
pass. These replace the earlier 17-case selection, rather than adding 20
unique cases to it. The original failures and passing reruns are
retained.

Apex follow-up `cb8860bab5ab9d6357a352e11f276be0d0cdb26d` keeps removed
worker handles reachable while they own startup calls, accepted host
handlers or retirement work. Drain/retirement includes active and
retained handles; completion callbacks remove settled handles. Stop and
replacement remove only the exact handle they observed. This adds no
database/network operation, polling loop or generic shutdown wait. The
SDK, Runner, context and transport bridge are unchanged.

Seven additional IPC regressions failed on the prior manager and pass
after the fix, covering removal/replacement, Stop-all, host-handler
settlement, bounded retirement failure/retry, pruning, and replacement
ownership. The updated foundation selection passes **27 tests**, with
server typechecking passing; these supersede the earlier 20-case
selection. A separate real-PostgreSQL/child-IPC characterization uses
the integration's actual SDK host, storage registry and run-control path
with the exact corrected manager bytes. Before the fix, cleanup released
run ownership while an accepted host write was blocked, then the late
write restored obsolete metadata. After the fix, ownership and cleanup
remain pending until the write completes; cleanup then removes the stale
metadata before releasing ownership. The original failure, corrected
result and source snapshots are preserved. Final head
`cb8860bab5ab9d6357a352e11f276be0d0cdb26d` passes GitHub CI (53
successful checks, 2 expected skips, Snyk success), standard Greptile
**5/5** and fresh Apex **5/5**. All review threads are resolved and the
PR is conflict-free.

## Risks

The shared Runner helper now observes synchronous operation failures
through its asynchronous cleanup path. The affected runtime file's 188
tests pass, but full regression coverage still depends on CI.

The new lifetime APIs require honest settlement signals. A future caller
must not treat a deadline, worker crash or Stop intent as verified
retirement. Production activation remains dependent on the complete
integration and its cleanup tests in #18405. This foundation introduces
no shorter production startup budget or new cleanup policy by itself.

The context's transport projection is process-local. It must not be
persisted or used as a general authorization cache. No production caller
supplies it in this PR. There is no database migration, new dependency,
or deployment requirement for merging this foundation.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, assisted with repository inspection, the
split, tests and command execution. The exact serving model ID and
context-window size were not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip baa4a2e64e fix(runner): restore Codex auth before source recovery (#18612)
Restore disposable Codex authentication and safe provider configuration before cold source recovery. Preserve source receipts and conversation state until reconciliation, and rebuild assigned tools from the admitted launch binding.

Validate remote launch destinations, clear stale authentication when no selected credential exists, and atomically publish SSH file transfers without following retained links. Red/green recovery regressions, a real two-turn Codex/MCP probe, and all current PR checks pass.

DottaandPaperclip 42c64d4ec4 fix(runner): preserve deliberate OpenCode approval waits (#18610)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip coordinates agent work and human approval.
> - A saved Plan must wait for the user before work continues.
> - The native runner interrupts the provider after it saves that wait.
> - OpenCode can report the interruption with an idle event and no final
answer.
> - Empty-answer recovery treated that intentional pause as an
incomplete answer.
> - This change stops answer recovery for an interrupted turn.
> - The runner still requires a real provider terminal before it settles
the wait.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

OpenCode could send a corrective model request after Paperclip
interrupted a turn for a saved approval request. The native runner then
failed with `governed_wait_provider_terminal_unproven` because it did
not receive the required terminal event within the existing drain
window.

**Expected behavior**

An interrupted turn must stop requesting answers. A provider idle or
cancelled event must remain available to the native wait settlement. An
HTTP abort acknowledgement alone must not count as a terminal.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start an OpenCode turn that has no final answer.
2. Interrupt that turn after saving a durable approval request.
3. Have the provider return `session.idle` or an idle `session.status`.
4. Observe that the old driver sends a second prompt instead of emitting
the terminal event.

The controlled regression fails before the fix for both idle event
forms: it observes two prompts instead of one. The affected driver blob
is identical in the deployed source and the current base. Related:
#18364 added the empty-answer recovery path.

## What Changed

- Record interruption intent for the active OpenCode turn before
asynchronous settlement.
- Cancel its answer-recovery timer and prevent corrective requests for
that turn.
- Preserve provider terminal checks and avoid a delayed abort of a later
turn.
- Cover both idle event forms, an existing correction, durable question
handoff, in-flight tools, missing terminal evidence, and a later
authorized turn.
- Document the interruption contract.

## Verification

- The new regression failed before the fix for the expected extra
prompt. A second red test confirmed the sibling durable-question handoff
also sent that unwanted prompt.
- Interrupted idle events now produce explicit cancellation terminals.
Tests reject a failed terminal and require normal completion on the
later authorized turn.
- All 305 targeted tests passed across the OpenCode driver, normal
empty-answer recovery, interruption, backend publication, and native
session runtime suites.
- Runner TypeScript check passed: `tsc -p
packages/paperclip-runner/tsconfig.json --noEmit`.
- `git diff --check` passed.
- Greptile reviewed the current commit at 5/5 with no findings. Both
earlier Paperclip review findings are fixed and their threads are
resolved.
- The additional Paperclip advisory reviewer could not assess the final
commit because its earlier workspace save did not finish. Its check is
neutral; this is not a passing assessment. No reviewer configuration or
workspace safety gate was changed.
- Repository CI passed on run 41470761437, attempt 2. Attempt 1 retained
a 15-second timeout in an unchanged voice-report test; only the failed
jobs were retried once, on the same commit. The identical test also
passed in an isolated baseline check against disposable PostgreSQL with
its original timeout.
- Live QA acceptance is pending. No eval prompt, model, allowance,
timeout, or assertion changed.

## Risks

The change affects OpenCode interruption and answer recovery. A silent
provider must remain unproven; the negative control checks that case.
Ordinary answer recovery remains enabled on authorized turns. No schema,
permission, or provider configuration changes are required.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, code execution, and browser
tools. The runtime does not expose a more specific model identifier or
context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 7751fc3107 fix(server): complete volume-free controller admission and recovery (#18543)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Its volume-free web server must admit remote warm execution without
depending on a local disk.
> - Fresh run rows retain the initial legacy label during workspace
preparation.
> - The native runtime selector commits the execution mode later.
> - The earlier guard rejected valid remote runs before that selection.
> - This PR checks storage during preparation and the resolved lifecycle
during runtime selection.
> - Agent-file recovery also has to reconstruct disposable cache paths
from the retained remote directory.
> - The deployment test removes the complete predecessor home, including
immutable caches, to enforce that contract.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18518, #18529, #18533.

**What happened?**

A real Codex/Daytona deployment test failed during setup because the
volume-free workspace guard checked the initial run label. After fixing
admission, controller retirement first failed on an immutable skill
cache. Removing that cache exposed a production recovery failure: B
rejected the saved agent-directory path from A, even though the remote
execution identity was unchanged. The next live attempt recovered that
directory and transferred the same runner, but adoption then tried to
recreate provider launch assets from the deleted controller home.

**Expected behavior**

Allow remote workspace preparation before native selection. Reject
actual legacy and per-turn execution at the runtime boundary. Delete the
entire stopped predecessor home, including immutable caches, without
following links to shared dependencies. B must reconstruct its local
agent-file projection from the exact registered remote lease while
preserving the save baseline and unsaved remote edits. Reattaching an
already-running provider must not prepare a new launch or require the
old launch files. The full backend must recover the admitted
instructions from the matching durable run checkpoint.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the explicit
`rolling-web-deployment.runner-codex.daytona.recover-controller` Product
E2E cell with a complete server/UI build, disposable PostgreSQL/S3, and
an owned Daytona fixture. The new boundary regressions also reproduce
the premature guard and missing runtime rejection without a model call.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The failures were observed on
`247552fe0719dcc92f7b42c50b658be6f624986d`. This branch is based on
`e122478368`.

## What Changed

- Validate Runner and remote workspace authority before runtime
selection without trusting the initial run label.
- Reject resolved legacy execution and local-source fallback, preserving
the native warm-policy check before admission.
- Rebind remote agent-file caches on ephemeral controllers and retrieve
their validated contents without uploading over the retained execution.
Preserve pending saves when the remote collector is unavailable.
- Restore over-quota remote directories without applying save quotas to
run admission; ordinary saves still enforce quotas.
- Skip provider launch asset materialization when adopting an existing
Runner. A real-process regression deletes the old skill/instruction
sources before reattachment.
- Recover admitted system instructions through Runner-owned checkpoint
validation for the same run, session and context digest. Fresh launches
still compose current instructions.
- Make the attention-retention test advance past its database-assigned
deadline, fixing a clean-master clock mismatch.
- Serialize remote collection and cleanup across controllers with an
operation-scoped Postgres advisory lock; fence stale cache-path updates.
- Keep synthetic deployment probe tasks in a separate disposable company
so they cannot block the business completion oracle.
- Share the launcher's directory cleanup with rolling retirement. Reject
a symlink root and skip linked descendants.
- Test admission with real PostgreSQL transactions and cleanup with real
read-only directories and external symlinks.
- Update developer documentation and the canonical qualification record.
Broader deployment acceptance remains in progress.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed.
- All 156 workspace preparation, runtime selection and ephemeral
contract tests passed. Two new regressions failed before the source fix.
- Seven focused Product E2E cleanup/replacement tests and `pnpm
test:e2e:runner:typecheck` passed.
- `pnpm test:run` stopped at an unrelated 15-second chat integration
timeout after 338 passes. That exact test passed in isolation without
increasing its timeout. The later full-suite shards did not run.
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:unit` reported 5,898 passes and 13 failures.
Clean master reproduced 11 failures in unchanged onboarding
expectations, operating receipts, Pi catalog assertions, workflow
bootstrap counts and embedded PostgreSQL startup. The other two workflow
assertions were fixed by the intervening master commit. These failures
are retained, not counted as passes.
- All 122 workspace-preparation tests pass after the reviewed
host-fallback fix. The first broader attempt exposed a test environment
leak; restoring the ephemeral flag between cases resolved it.
- Agent-directory and instruction regressions passed 179 tests. Five
focused cache-loss cases pass: different home, same path on an empty
filesystem, foreign lease, concurrent controller, and missing collector.
- The live fixture at `a18f6b85a3` gracefully stopped A and deleted its
entire home, then failed the 420-second remote reattachment deadline on
the saved local agent-directory path. That failure is retained; exact
owned sandbox cleanup was independently confirmed. The next live attempt
at `e14ca5f3e9` restored the cache and transferred the same runner, but
failed while rematerializing launch assets from A. Both failures are
retained and their owned sandboxes confirmed absent. No active-overlap,
ten-deploy, or production-canary acceptance is claimed.
- All 71 related Runner adoption/recovery cases pass, including the new
removed-context regression (failed before the source fix).
- The revised full agent-directory suite passed 110 cases and failed
three cleanup timing cases. All 20 cleanup/cache-loss cases then passed
in isolation with unchanged timeouts, including over-quota recovery.
- Server and Runner TypeScript checks pass after the latest corrections;
the live retry remains pending.

- The live test at `67714af9ff` adopted the same remote execution after
A was deleted, then failed while the full backend read the retired
instruction bundle. All owned sandboxes were independently confirmed
absent. Its regression now passes with actual backend recovery and no
new thread or turn. All 59 backend factory tests and focused checkpoint
identity tests pass. Runner and server TypeScript checks pass; the exact
committed server build passes. A fresh paid-model retry followed.
- The attention-retention CI timeout reproduced on clean master. The
deadline correction passes all 53 tests in that file with unchanged
timeouts.

- The real `cd690de4d3` run transferred the same runner/session after
deleting A, completed, and completed the next revision. During handoff,
372 reads and 38 saves had zero failures; all 38 saves were verified.
The full attempt was interrupted because the probe's open task
contaminated the business company oracle. This remains incomplete
evidence. The scope regression fails before the fixture fix, then
passes; all nine deployment support tests and E2E typecheck pass. All
three owned sandboxes were confirmed absent and temporary
credentials/storage were cleaned up. A clean corrected attempt is
running.

## Risks

- The runtime guard must still reject legacy and per-turn execution
before dispatch. Tests cover these refusals and a valid resolved warm
policy.
- Directory permission changes apply only during cleanup of stopped,
test-owned homes. Traversal does not follow symlinks. This changes no
production cache permissions.
- Cache reconstruction must not change remote execution authority or
rebase the original save baseline. Tests verify foreign-lease rejection,
preserved receipts, and absence of local-to-remote upload.
- Postgres locking is scoped to active remote file work and adds no idle
polling; local/durable-server locking remains unchanged.
- No schema or public API changes. External conversation exemptions
remain unchanged.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 Codex, with reasoning, repository editing, shell execution
and live integration-test tools. The exact runtime model variant and
context-window size are not exposed in this session.

Latest real qualification at f5915fdc33: both empty-home replacements
completed with 523 reads, 53 saves and 53 verified saves, zero probe
failures. The active remote execution survived and completed once; saved
project bytes and the later useful answer passed. The full workflow
remains FAILED: the later continuation reset its native/provider session
and the public run row lacked the native terminal contract. These newly
exposed compatibility/projection gaps are tracked in the next
implementation slice; this PR is not a claim of full Railway
qualification. All owned Daytona sandboxes were independently confirmed
absent after cleanup.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

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

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

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

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

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 8bcc5a01ed fix(runner): preserve OpenCode written-answer defaults (#18456)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people answer questions while native agent work is
active.
> - Runner drivers translate provider question forms and answers into
the shared contract.
> - Pinned OpenCode 1.18.34 enables written answers when `custom` is
omitted.
> - The driver required explicit `true`, so it removed that input from
ordinary native questions.
> - The same branch could override a native opt-out or add a separate
custom field to a text-only question.
> - This pull request preserves the native default, explicit opt-out,
original choices, and exact answer delivery.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A native OpenCode question with choices and no `custom` field loses its
written-answer control in Paperclip. The pinned provider enables that
control by default. A legacy alias can also override native
`custom:false`. A question with no choices and `custom:true` is rejected
because the driver adds a separate custom field to text mode.

**Expected behavior**

Follow the [pinned OpenCode question
contract](https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/blob/v1.18.34/packages/schema/src/v1/question.ts).
Preserve the written-answer default for choices. Honor native
`custom:false`. Keep optionless questions text-only. Preserve every
supplied choice and return the exact written answer to the same native
request.

**Steps to reproduce**

Use the normalizer regression or the local OpenCode driver fixture. Emit
a native question with choices and omit `custom`. The unfixed driver
omits `customAnswer`; its existing written-answer roundtrip assertion
fails. The separate negative controls reproduce native opt-out
precedence and text-only normalization errors.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on main `f2db909393de124caf6a5380a52d4e0e1d621661`, with
pinned `opencode-ai@1.18.34`.

## What Changed

- Apply the native `custom` flag first, then the legacy alias, then the
pinned default of `true`.
- Add a separate custom field only when choices exist. Keep optionless
questions text-only.
- Add default, opt-out, alias, and exact response validation
regressions. Make the driver fixture omit the optional native flag and
retain its exact custom-answer roundtrip assertion.
- Document the pinned native behavior.

## Verification

- Before the fix, the real normalizer fails three targeted assertions:
omitted custom input, native opt-out precedence, and optionless text
with `custom:true`.
- The local driver subprocess regression also fails before the fix. Its
native request omits `custom`, and the driver drops the expected
written-answer control.
- After the fix, all **79 tests in three files pass**: the new nine-case
normalizer suite, the full 65-case OpenCode driver suite, and the five
question-set response tests. The driver sends the unchanged written
answer in the provider's ordered answer array and records one terminal
request resolution.
- Runner TypeScript check passes. A first attempt lacked the isolated
eval-kernel declarations; building that local dependency resolved the
setup gap. Locked dependencies were installed from the existing cache
with scripts disabled.
- Diff checks pass. Exact-head [canonical CI run
41203866644](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41203866644)
passes build, typecheck, release registry, Runner checks, server tests,
and all eight E2E shards at `72b21207e8590b78e24fe2cef4e3f6c374be53a4`.
All current PR checks are terminal with no failures. Storybook is
skipped for this scope and Paperclip Review is neutral. Full repository
checks were not repeated locally for this narrow provider translation
change.
- [Fresh Greptile
review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18456#issuecomment-6543742512)
gives 5/5 on that exact head with no actionable findings. All review
threads are addressed. GitHub reports `MERGEABLE` and `CLEAN`.
- Local tests use a controlled provider fixture. They do not establish a
paid model pass or attribute a deployment incident without its original
native arguments. No QA run, runtime deployment, protected pin, journey
oracle, prompt, budget, run bound, or model setting changed.

## Risks

Native OpenCode choices now expose the written-answer control that the
provider already enables by default. Explicit native opt-out wins over
the legacy alias, and disabled custom responses remain rejected.
Existing choice IDs and labels remain unchanged. Deployed users need the
repaired Runner artifact through the normal delivery path. Local driver
proof does not replace deployed journey qualification.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, source inspection, and code
execution. The host does not expose the exact underlying model version
or context-window size.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

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

**Subsystem affected**

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

**Current behavior**

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

**Proposed behavior**

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

**Reason and benefit**

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

**Breaking changes**

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

**Additional context**

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

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

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

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

| Burst | 1036.36 → 1063.11 (+2.58%) | 4153.12 → 4317.64 (+3.96%) |
103.736 → 103.841 (+0.10%) | 930.14 ms |

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

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


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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

**Historical blocked gate (before the repair below).** Final native

branch head is `af9e2d157dcc349e55374ad186c9be2d6cb96bf9`. The two later
commits change only qualification fixtures, their matcher and
documentation; `server/` and `packages/` are unchanged. It includes
master through `fd008979f5794fda3d5f54151d36acd31d0de140`.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

</details>

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 8ff812cdde feat(chat): deliver proactive task messages to agent chats (#18374)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent Chat gives each person a persistent conversation with each
agent.
> - Tasks and routines produce results outside that conversation.
> - Those runs need a safe way to bring a requested result back to the
person.
> - The server must select the agent's own chat and check the source
task's access rules.
> - This pull request adds proactive chat messages and unread
indicators.
> - People can see the result, open its source task, and reply in the
same chat.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Server, native runner tools, shared contracts, database, and UI.

**Problem or motivation**

An agent can report progress on a task or comment on an authorized task.
It cannot send a routine result to its own standing chat with the
responsible person. A morning review routine therefore cannot leave a
visible digest in that person's chat.

**Proposed solution**

Add `send_chat_message({body, idempotencyKey})` and `POST
/api/agents/me/chat/messages`. The server selects the company, agent,
and responsible person from the active run. It saves an attributed
comment and audit record in one transaction. The chat shows a
source-task link and per-person unread state.

**Alternatives considered**

A destination parameter on a generic comment tool would expose
unnecessary routing authority. A new delivery worker would add another
durable delivery path. This change uses a dedicated tool and the
existing comment and live-event paths.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends the experimental Agent Chat capability in `ROADMAP.md`. The
existing `enableAgentChat` setting controls it. Related public work:
Refs #13282, Refs #13283, and Refs #14408. Searches for proactive chat
and unread chat found no duplicate PR.

## What Changed

- Add a focused messaging service shared by the native tool and HTTP
route. It checks current run ownership, execution mode, recipient
membership, task access, and task privacy.
- Reuse the canonical company/agent/person conversation. Save the
comment and audit record together. Keep task completion and chat
execution separate from delivery.
- Add source-task provenance and source-scoped retry keys. Identical
retries return the saved receipt. Changed content returns a conflict.
- Enforce the conversation's fixed agent at the shared comment-write
boundary. Keep normal reply cancellation and session checks.
- Add chat unread state, accessible agent dots, aggregate Chat
indicators, and visible-message read cutoffs. Refresh through existing
live events.
- Add the request-key constraint, native tool contracts, documentation,
capability maps, stories, and regression coverage.

## Verification

- Local delivery/security proof: all 38 proactive-message cases pass.
Eight credential-scope regressions and four quota regressions fail
against the prior source. The repaired delivery and canonical
cross-issue cap suites pass all 49 cases; all 31 OpenAPI tests, server
typecheck, and capability-map checks pass. The shared per-run cap covers
native and HTTP sends, mixed ordinary mutations, concurrent last-slot
contention, and retry/recovery without double charging.
- Credential tests preserve the authenticated person and authorizer;
reject bridge/test credentials and persisted skill-test runs after
task-mode changes; and recheck API-key revocation, scope, and
responsible person after destination locking. The earlier
delivery/native-authority suites passed all 74 cases before the four
quota additions.
- Four PostgreSQL contention cases cover native and HTTP sends plus
retries during a native chat mutation. All four deadlock against the
earlier source and pass with destination-before-source/run locking.
Recovery and human-reply delivery enqueue only the human comment; a
proactive digest never wakes the chat agent.
- Passed 108 companion conversation, native-authority, and OpenAPI
tests; 112 runner catalog/workflow-report tests; 47 completion-delivery
tests; and 25 project-handoff tests. Focused runner tests cover native
tool availability without generic API tools.
- All 327 affected UI tests, UI typecheck, token gates, and catalog
checks pass. The read hook retries at most three times, respects server
retry delay, coalesces only seen cutoffs, recovers on reconnect, and
cancels on scope changes.
- Real browser journeys with a deterministic process agent verify
routine-to-chat delivery, first-chat creation, unread state across
reload, the source link, secondary chat navigation, and a follow-up
reply referring to the digest. This does not qualify live GitHub
retrieval or model output quality.
- The Storybook showcase uses production components with deterministic
network fixtures. Rendered interactions pass for the landing, ordinary
read success, transient read recovery, and persistent failure after
bounded retries. Both Chat navigation variants update from two unread
chats to one while only Kodi's dot clears. Mobile and light variants
were reviewed. The existing Coordinator Recents label contrast finding
is unchanged; no Linux visual baseline archive exists.
- Current master's independent sandbox migration retains 0418.
Regenerated the feature migration as 0419 from the combined schema and
retained exactly the newest five snapshots; numbering/safety, replay,
and schema-drift checks pass.
- Workspace typecheck and build passed before PR preparation; canonical
server/UI typechecks passed again on the combined tree. Migration
`0419_slippery_impossible_man.sql` passes safety and schema drift checks
on disposable PostgreSQL, including interrupted index repair, concurrent
migrators, one-time owner read-state backfill, preserved receipts, and
two SQL replays. A default five-second local snapshot comparison timed
out; a diagnostic 30-second run passed without drift.
- Earlier failures are retained in the record: full local `pnpm
test:run` and broad shards encountered embedded-PostgreSQL startup,
timing, and provider-recovery failures. Thirteen selected
external-channel cases pass in isolation on the original and changed
sources; an unordered comment-row assertion now explicitly orders both
reads. The earlier route registry, native tool count, runner catalog,
and accessible Chat badge-name failures were fixed and passed full
remote CI on `920b3bb7db`.
- Repeated managed-skill server8 failures came from CI's newer synthetic
merge: its Cloud guard correctly rejected the old local-disk fixture.
Master independently repaired the fixture in #18385; this branch keeps
that repair unchanged. All 57 managed-skill and Cloud prerequisite cases
pass on the combined tree, and that fixture has no remaining PR diff.
- Current reviewed head `dc16f314739a6d977bed21cb1446d0e80a541578`:
Greptile 5/5 with no findings, Superagent security assessment passed,
advisory Paperclip Review 5/5 with no findings, and zero open review
threads. All 55 current-head check runs pass, with five expected skips
and the advisory review neutral at 5/5; Snyk also passes. No checks are
pending or failing. Protected squash auto-merge is enabled and is
waiting for required code-owner approval. A normal exact-head merge was
refused by the base-branch policy; no admin bypass was used. The
previous head's Superagent quota finding is fixed and covered above.

## Risks

- Chat remains company-visible. Delivery rejects a source task with
private-task, project, or ancestor restrictions.
- Read state uses a comment timestamp cutoff. The server retains
database precision and never moves a read receipt backward.
- The new unique constraint changes comment query planning. An existing
regression now uses an explicit row order. The migration builds the
unique index concurrently, then takes a brief table lock to attach it.
It uses the existing top-level migration and interrupted-index recovery
path.
- The upgrade backfills missing chat-owner read-state rows at the latest
existing agent comment. Existing read receipts remain intact. New chats
can still be unread before the human participates.
- Quota observation commits atomically with delivery. A rejected send
rolls back its attempted denial audit row and any first-chat creation;
the canonical warning remains in server logs, and previously spent quota
remains enforced. Identical/conflicting retries and receipt recovery
spend no extra slot.
- This version delivers in-app only. It adds no external-channel, push,
or email delivery.
- Local full-suite acceptance remains limited by the failures recorded
above. The feature stays behind `enableAgentChat`.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex. PR preparation and CI work used `gpt-6.1-sol` with tool
use and code execution. The earlier implementation also used Codex, but
its exact model ID was not recorded in the visible session. The
context-window size was not provided.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

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

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

> 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 redirected — check the roadmap
first. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`.

## Model Used

- Anthropic Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) in Claude Code, with
tool use (shell, file edits, local builds and tests) and extended
thinking.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 493e229d93 perf(runner): cache verified native executable digests (#18390)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their task execution.
> - Runner checks qualified native programs before it starts a provider.
> - Installation checks and command opening can hash the same program
again.
> - A new sidecar process repeats this work on a later warm task.
> - This pull request stores the computed digest in a private filesystem
cache.
> - Every cache hit still checks the independently selected trusted
digest and current file metadata.
> - An unchanged program can start without another full native file
read.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Repeated **qualified ACPX** native executable admission in Runner.
Claude, ACPX-Codex, and Grok use this verifier in both Core-owned and
plugin-backed launches. The ordinary native Codex app-server launcher is
a different path and is not changed. A retained provider that opens no
new native command has no saved hash work here. The measured Claude task
path does not require a comment backlog.

**Current behavior**
Installation verification and final command opening each read and hash
the native executable. The qualified Linux x64 Claude file is
241,667,256 bytes. A new verification and command lease reads
483,334,512 native bytes. Another Node process repeats both reads.

**Proposed behavior**
Store the actual computed SHA-256 digest by device, inode, size,
nanosecond modification time, and nanosecond change time. Reuse it
across Runner and sidecar processes. Compare each hit with the current
build-owned digest. Hash the file on a miss or changed identity. This
replaces the earlier Claude-only deferral design in this same PR.

**Reason and benefit**
The first verification and command lease reads the native file once.
Later processes read none of its native bytes while its identity stays
the same. Related: #16372 established qualified executable admission.
This change is independent of other preparation PRs. It does not change
provider pins or profile versions.

## What Changed

- Add a shared filesystem digest cache under the absolute OS temporary
root at `paperclip-runner-<uid>/executable-digests-v1`.
- Use private directories and files, versioned hash-only filenames,
bounded JSON entries, and atomic temporary-file replacement. Cache files
contain a version and the computed digest. They contain no credentials
or source paths.
- Fall back to full hashing when the cache is missing, unreadable,
malformed, or unusable. Keep current expected-digest selection outside
the cache.
- Keep cache data outside task homes. Neither `HOME` nor task cwd
selects the path. The OS temporary-root selection honors absolute
platform `TMPDIR`, `TMP`, or `TEMP` overrides. A relative root disables
caching. Hosts must keep that root outside task workspaces. Temp cleanup
causes a later rehash.
- Keep the no-follow executable open, regular-file and size checks,
execute permission, descriptor ownership, before/after identity checks,
and preparation-to-launch identity comparison. Cache publication occurs
before the final identity checks.
- Use this path for standalone installation checks and final command
opening. Remove the earlier pending-digest type and Claude-only launch
helper. Runtime host and profile selection keep their original
structure.
- Test changed content, all fingerprint fields, symlinks, mode changes,
inode replacement, mutation during lookup/publication, concurrent cache
writers, wrong trusted pins, and cache failures.
- Include a deliberate trust-boundary test: a process running as the
same OS user can plant a matching cached digest for changed bytes. It
opens a test descriptor and executes nothing.

In plain language: Runner remembers the hash for the same file. It still
checks which file it opened and which hash the build requires. The cache
trusts the OS user who can write it.

## Verification

From `packages/paperclip-runner`:

- `../../node_modules/.bin/vitest run
src/drivers/acpx/executable-digest-cache.test.ts
src/drivers/acpx/installation-integrity.test.ts
src/drivers/acpx/runtime-host.test.ts` — 177 passed, 6 platform-specific
skips.
- `../../node_modules/.bin/tsc -p tsconfig.json --noEmit` — passed.
- `git diff --check` and the added-line secret, PII, private-address,
and code-comment scan — passed.

The offline comparison uses baseline
`45a3a92e6dc52d20923b9aa34a22fee2ec5443f9` and treatment
`c4356df12032448de90516ae329d8f939af10984`. Each sample starts a
different Node process. Each normal sample runs the actual qualified
installation verifier and opens a command lease. Seven samples per case
follow one warmup. The cache is removed before each cold case. The next
process reuses its entry. Baseline order alternates around the treatment
pair. Command digest and package paths match in every pair.

| Verifier plus command opening | Baseline | Cold cache | Later process
hit |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Full native reads | 2 | 1 | 0 |
| Native bytes read | 483,334,512 | 241,667,256 | 0 |
| Local median, ms | 1041.26 | 602.70 | 130.17 |
| Local range, ms | 994.20–1133.11 | 580.27–999.83 | 121.96–179.45 |
| Median whole child process, ms | 1379.96 | 988.75 | 523.01 |

Raw verifier-plus-open samples in ms:

- Baseline: 1133.11, 1074.40, 1061.99, 1041.26, 994.20, 1036.12,
1037.70.
- Cold: 647.13, 646.33, 999.83, 584.83, 580.27, 583.37, 602.70.
- Later process hit: 179.45, 138.37, 134.39, 130.17, 121.96, 122.33,
126.68.

Separate direct-opener fault probes use a disposable copy of that same
native file:

| Change | Native bytes read | Result | Local open, ms |
| --- | ---: | --- | ---: |
| First copied file | 241,667,256 | Accepted | 526.14 |
| Next process, different HOME and task cwd | 0 | Accepted | 24.91 |
| Changed timestamps | 241,667,256 | Accepted after hashing | 531.40 |
| New inode, identical bytes | 241,667,256 | Accepted after hashing |
536.70 |
| Corrupt byte, same size and exactly restored mtime | 241,667,256 |
Rejected | Whole process: 841.36 |
| Different independent trusted pin | 0 | Rejected | Whole process:
374.76 |

The corruption probe keeps `mtimeNs` exactly equal before and after, at
`1000000000000000000`. Its changed `ctimeNs` invalidates the entry.
Cache expiry is not required. The changed-pin probe rejects the old
actual digest without a native read.

The cached image is
`sha256:99ce80690a0c13328f41fd84156cc73e1ac562eaed3120fd41d04d7acdfb325d`.
The Node binary is `/opt/paperclip/runner/libexec/node`, version
`v24.20.0`. The artifact is Claude SDK `0.3.286`, with expected digest
`sha256:fe503f65c6289d59c23e5b21ae44f03583f997dd33a2cbfc75ab4f96fb8fc73f`.
The container used a read-only root, a disposable writable tmpfs, and
disabled network. No provider process, model request, credential, or
deployment was used.

**These elapsed values are diagnostics from Linux x64 CPU emulation on
an ARM64 Docker host. They are not production latency or TTFT
estimates.** The exact byte counts, cross-process reuse, output
equality, and invalidation results are the portable evidence.

The saved phase 0 exports have no directly comparable native executable
hashing span. Their broad `runner.transport.attach` spans include other
work. A production comparison within 20% is therefore unavailable for
this seam. The earlier local 919 ms control was also an emulation
diagnostic; it is not a production baseline.

The initial Docker attempt was denied access to the local socket by the
sandbox. The same offline command then ran with local socket permission.
An initial fault probe restored mtime through a `Date`, which did not
prove exact nanosecond equality. Its raw report is retained as
historical; the final probe sets and verifies an exact mtime before and
after corruption. The prior Claude-only implementation and its checks
and measurements remain historical evidence. They do not qualify this
replacement.

The superseded home-directory cache head had one browser recovery test
timeout in its GitHub workflow. It expected a saved title after session
recovery. The failure is retained. No browser code was changed; the
current head reruns CI after moving the cache outside task homes.

No full local CI suite was run, as requested. GitHub CI supplies full
regression coverage. Current head
`c4356df12032448de90516ae329d8f939af10984` passed the complete [GitHub
workflow](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41145223331),
including all browser shards. Its latest checks have 56 successes and 2
intended skips, including both security scans started when the PR became
ready. Standard Greptile reviewed this exact head at 5/5 with no open
findings. Apex then reviewed the same head at 5/5 under the documented
OS-user trust policy. It reported no new findings. There are no
unresolved review threads. The PR is ready for review and remains
unmerged.

## Risks

- This deliberately weakens protection against the same OS user. That
user can write the cache and can plant a chosen digest for a file
fingerprint. A cache hit trusts that record; metadata identity is not a
fresh content hash. The explicit fault test documents this accepted
policy.
- A read-only administrator-owned Runner can use this user-writable
cache. The cache has no signature, secret, or daemon. It does not
require a Launcher or ROM change.
- Other users cannot use normal cache permissions to write these
entries. Cache errors fall back to hashing. Removing the cache directory
restores full hashing. Old fingerprints leave small unused entries until
the cache is removed or OS temp cleanup evicts it. Temp eviction costs
one later full hash.
- A changed file normally rehashes. A digest that differs from the
independent current pin still fails admission. Existing command,
package, credential, process-lifetime, and final dispatch checks remain.
- No schema, public protocol, package dependency, profile version, or
provider pin changes.

DottaandPaperclip 18b1637b63 fix(runner): accept late Antigravity login URL during drain (#18254)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages work performed by AI agents.
> - The native Runner owns Antigravity subscription sign-in.
> - Sign-in receives completion on stdout and the browser URL on stderr.
> - The two pipes can deliver the completion result before the valid
URL.
> - The owner rejected that URL after it entered the completed phase.
> - This pull request accepts one validated URL while the same child
drains.
> - A real child regression now proves the order and the failure
controls.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18188, #18189, and #18190. Related qualification work: #18345 and
#18356. The duplicate search found this existing PR, so this update
preserves its history and adds the real child proof here.

**What happened?**

A valid sign-in can fail when the authenticate response arrives before
the authorization URL on the other pipe. The completed phase then
rejects the valid URL. The same existing success case failed in [current
follow-up
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41138618869/job/124347859445).
That log has no stream-order trace, so it does not prove its inner
failure branch.

**Expected behavior**

Both valid delivery orders must succeed. Invalid or duplicate URLs,
unexpected protocol requests, failed retirement, and failed credential
verification must still fail.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run a synthetic native child that completes authenticate on stdout.
2. Wait for stdin EOF before it emits the authorization URL on stderr.
EOF proves that the parent accepted the result and began retirement.
3. The valid case fails on frozen master
`45a3a92e6dc52d20923b9aa34a22fee2ec5443f9`. The invalid and duplicate
controls pass there.
4. Run the same regression with this PR's existing production fix. All
three cases pass.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Existing reviewed PR parent: `646f5cdf37898ad54e1fa1cdfe39f59844da3e7c`.
Frozen actual master for the real child RED:
`45a3a92e6dc52d20923b9aa34a22fee2ec5443f9`.

## What Changed

- Accept one fully validated authorization URL in the authentication or
completed-drain phase. Keep duplicate rejection and all existing URL
checks.
- Retain the ten existing in-memory controls for both valid orders and
eight failure paths.
- Add three real child cases for valid, invalid, and duplicate late
URLs. Use stdin EOF to order the streams without sleeps or a mocked
retirement handler.
- Check exact protocol requests, child exit, close-once behavior,
Google-call counts, and persisted refresh rotation. This update changes
only the existing test file; it adds no production delta to the reviewed
parent.

## Verification

- Frozen actual master: the new valid real child case fails, while both
negative controls pass. The original eight-control parent calibration
also remains recorded in this PR's history.
- Existing fixed source plus the new tests: 24 passed. This includes 11
existing authentication tests, ten stream controls, and three real child
cases.
- Late invalid and duplicate URLs fail with zero Google calls. The valid
case makes two mocked identity calls and saves the rotated synthetic
refresh token. All three retire the real child and close the command
lease once.
- Scoped owning TypeScript `noEmit` passes for the auth module and both
test files. The temporary configuration is not committed. Diff and
credential-pattern checks pass.
- The tests use real child pipes and private synthetic files. Google
responses and the command installation are mocked. No provider account,
network request, model run, app, or QA deployment was used.
- Full monorepo typecheck, tests, and build were not run locally. Fresh
[normal
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41140757050)
passes on `1744c9f3374f78b10c2f15c42f3cf5d3af8c3119`: 56 successful
checks, two skipped, and one neutral. Typecheck, build, Rust, static,
Runner, server and browser lanes pass. Greptile gives that exact head a
fresh 5/5 with zero unresolved threads. The PR is mergeable and clean.
The earlier parent's passing CI remains historical evidence only.

## Risks

The change accepts a URL while the same authenticated child drains. It
still validates the exact OAuth URL and rejects a second URL. Success
still requires the authenticate result, verified credentials, and proven
process retirement. No provider pins, contracts, timeout bounds,
retries, or public APIs change. Existing documentation already specifies
these sign-in semantics; no documentation change is needed.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with tool use and code execution. The
exact runtime model ID and context window were not exposed in this
session.

DottaandPaperclip 0e15c92073 feat(skills): make managed content independent of web-server disk (#18334)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents use installed skills and exact version pins during execution.
> - Managed skills still depended on mutable directories on the web
server.
> - A replacement server could lose acknowledged edits or remove an
unassigned skill whose directory was absent.
> - This pull request makes immutable versions the authority for managed
content and installed repository reads.
> - The server can rebuild delivery files from durable content after
replacement.
> - This establishes skills readiness for ephemeral web servers. General
server draining and workspace recovery remain separate work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Skills services, shared contracts, database receipts, Skill Studio, and
runtime delivery.

**Problem or motivation**

A fresh web server must discover, read, edit, and deliver protected
installed skills using the same database, object storage, secrets, and
supported application artifacts. It must not need its predecessor's
files or process memory.

**Proposed solution**

Use `managed` ownership with a null source locator. Read installed
content by immutable version. Prepare packages before a short
publication transaction. Persist execution selections before
materialization. Recover exact pinned runtime assets and reject deletion
while active or recovering pins exist.

**Alternatives considered**

Reconstructing a mutable installed directory preserves the old
source-of-truth ambiguity. Permanent dual writes create two competing
authorities. This change uses one managed model after a bounded legacy
conversion.

**Roadmap alignment**

This improves the existing Skills Manager, Studio, version history, and
Cloud execution capabilities. The maintainer supplied the implementation
contract. This does not add a separate skills product or deploy fleet
changes.

Related work: #18082 supplies immutable package storage. #17273
addresses edits outside the API for linked local skills; this PR keeps
that source category separate. #2648 is a closed earlier
ephemeral-filesystem proposal.

## What Changed

- Add managed ownership and focused content publication and execution
materialization modules. Keep the archive format and package storage
tables.
- Publish managed create, save, delete, fork, rename, restore, and
catalog content with version checks. Add durable create receipts.
Preserve file-save receipt responses.
- Return file version identities. Keep Studio drafts after a conflict
and provide an explicit reload action. A delayed reload cannot overwrite
newer typing or navigation.
- Persist exact runtime selections, including empty selections. Rebuild
pinned assets and verify their admitted digests on a replacement server.
- Preserve source access on forks and disconnected copies. Keep the
existing workspace policy category for managed skills.
- Add bounded conversion, eligibility, and independent verification
phases. Load persisted Cloud configuration in the standalone CLI without
seeding or changing it. Reject partial current versions against
installed inventories; recover only complete saved content or the exact
source. Document storage migration blockers and the compatible rollback
floor.
- Add separate-process PostgreSQL/S3 qualification and update domain,
retention, policy, and UI regressions.
- Pass the plugin worker manager into Studio execution, admit restricted
`skill_test` mode through native Runner contracts, and preserve admitted
scope across native and REST tools. Native tests cannot create ordinary
tasks, browse company data, or use external tools.
- Select the exact durable Studio revision even when unassigned or Beta
skills is off. Persist Studio output and audit atomically with native
task completion, preserving the result on replay.

## Verification

- Final revision `13e8af480b88ba6fea5737bac4bd81104d604792` passed full
CI: all 49 workflow jobs completed successfully ([run
41127396098](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41127396098)).
This includes typecheck, test suites, Runner checks, browser checks and
build. Greptile review 15 is 5/5 on that same revision, with zero
unresolved threads. The PR is ready for review.
- Local workspace typecheck and build passed after integrating master.
Focused checks passed: 33 execution/completion cases, 52 Runner HTTP
cases, 16 managed-content cases, 17 Studio cases, the new real-process
CLI regression, map checks and UI token gates. The CLI regression proves
inspection does not seed missing Cloud configuration. Server typecheck
passed after that fix.
- The independent-process PostgreSQL/S3 matrix passed through normal
HTTP skill routes. It covers A → B → C replacement, lost commit
responses, upload crashes, concurrent saves, binary contents and
executable delivery. Metadata listing and warm selected delivery retain
zero object downloads. Local timing measurements are recorded; they do
not establish hosted latency.
- Hosted A → B → C passed on the owned disposable test tenant with
external Postgres, S3 and a real remote Paperclip Computer. Predecessor
temporary homes were absent. C read and executed B's acknowledged
managed save. New runs used repository v1 while v2 was installed. Hashes
matched an independently checked exact upstream commit.
- Compatible image rollback to `6518b323` passed. Studio retained the
unassigned fork's C save. A fresh remote run executed the newer managed
content and historical repository pin. The actual shell event confirmed
expected hashes, stdout, exit 0 and mode 0555.
- Runtime candidate `9200e3fcb4` deployed successfully ([Cloud run
41124147876](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-cloud/actions/runs/41124147876)).
The final Studio test delivered only the unassigned fork's exact v3,
executed its script and persisted a successful output snapshot.
Independent command-event inspection confirmed all three hashes, stdout,
exit 0 and mode 0555. All 14 installations were version-backed.
Independent verification checked all 25 versions: 23 remote objects, two
bundled database snapshots, zero blockers.
- The deployed image is `9200e3fcb4`. Later master integration, the
client-only delayed-reload draft guard and the CLI bootstrap have
separate automated proof. The CLI bootstrap was also exercised against
the tenant's stored configuration and storage through the same read-only
services. This PR does not claim that the deployed image is the final PR
revision.
- Live Studio checks exposed worker wiring, admission, access scope,
exact selection and completion-publication gaps. They are fixed. Failed
attempts remain in the evidence. The full local suite exceeded 80
minutes under host contention and was stopped. Later combined/isolated
local attempts also timed out; they are not counted as passes. Full CI
covers the integrated suites. Earlier CI found an obsolete restart-scope
fixture, which was corrected and passed all 52 HTTP cases.
- Reproduction and migration:
[`doc/skill-ephemeral-web-servers.md`](doc/skill-ephemeral-web-servers.md).
Source revisions, deployments, versions, run IDs, hashes and failure
history:
[`doc/plans/2026-10-30-ephemeral-web-skills.md`](doc/plans/2026-10-30-ephemeral-web-skills.md).

## Risks

- Legacy conversion requires stopped admission and retired
filesystem-authoritative writers. Pre-conversion binaries are not
supported rollback targets afterward.
- Cloud readiness requires remote object storage. Local provider
receipts and provider mismatches remain blockers until objects are
copied and verified.
- Linked local sources retain filesystem semantics and are outside the
cloud guarantee.
- Cold reads still fetch the existing archive format. Warm runtime
preparation retains the verified-cache path.
- Bundled reconciliation preserves an installed head. Existing release
snapshots remain selectable. An older server must not replace a newer
head with its shipped files.
- No production volumes, fleet defaults, or general deployment
coordination change in this PR.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and browser use. The exact backend model ID and
context-window size are not exposed in this session. No subagents were
used.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 6174b4d7c8 fix(runner): allow session reset after confirmed task retirement (#18373)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Native warm sessions retain a Runner owner between turns.
> - Closing that owner must stop execution and preserve valid recovery
state.
> - A failed suspension can leave a rejected close promise after the
task has stopped.
> - A session reset then retries that same promise and blocks every
fresh session.
> - This PR separates task retirement proof from checkpoint reuse for a
new session.
> - A reset can proceed after exact stop proof, completed handoff, and
file collection.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18011. That change preserves checkpoint authority during warm
preparation. This change handles a stopped owner whose checkpoint cannot
be reused. Related: #14695 covers managed files retained with warm
processes. A search found no duplicate stopped-owner reset fix.

**What happened?**

A warm Runner can stop and complete its task handoff while close reports
`runner did not durably suspend before checkpoint`. The transport caches
that rejected close promise. Core retains the warm owner. Each session
reset retries the same promise before it can launch a provider. A
controller restart clears the in-memory owner and permits recovery.

**Expected behavior**

A reset to a new normalized session should release the old owner when
its exact task has proved that execution stopped and its handoff
completed. Core must collect stopped instruction files before it admits
the new session. An unconfirmed owner must continue to block
replacement.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Complete a warm native run through a plugin task provider.
2. Change configuration so Core retires the warm owner.
3. Let the task stop and complete, but fail durable suspension proof.
Close keeps its rejected promise.
4. Reset the session and start another run on the same task environment.
5. Observe the old close error before any new provider work starts.

## What Changed

- Keep a lease-bound retirement receipt in the plugin task owner. It
requires `executionStopped: true` and successful task completion after
credential handoff.
- Accept an unrecoverable suspension error only during retirement for a
different normalized session, with that exact owner's receipt and
settled Core tool results.
- Collect stopped instruction files before releasing the warm owner.
Preserve old checkpoint evidence.
- Keep same-session, active-owner, incomplete-handoff, unrelated-owner,
unresolved Core tool results, and other close-error fences.
- Report Core tool settlement on the close error after ingress
retirement and drain. Default missing proof to false. Expose the error
through the server's Runner shim. Add regression tests and document the
recovery boundary.

## Verification

- The reset regression fails with the new handling disabled and passes
with it enabled.
- Both affected suites passed: 1,032 tests. The final 15 focused
owner/reset cases pass after adding the tool-settlement guard.
- The assembled regression uses the real task-owner and backend binding.
Its controlled task provider proves stop and completion. Close returns
the same rejected promise on every call.
- Negative cases cover incomplete handoff, other close errors,
same-session continuation, provider change with the same session ID,
unrelated receipts, unresolved Core tool results, and failed file
collection. Collection can later succeed without replaying stop or
reading the old checkpoint.
- Five real-process transport cases pass. They cover an insufficient
suspension deadline, the cached rejected promise, late tool completion
within and beyond the deadline, interruption, and result-persistence
failure. Unsettled callbacks produce `semanticToolsSettled: false`.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed with the repository's pinned Rust toolchain
on PATH. After the final contract change, Runner TypeScript build and
server `tsc --noEmit` passed.
- The local full-suite run was stopped at the requester's direction.
Full regression and build coverage are delegated to GitHub CI.
- Full GitHub CI passed on `ef0040d80af679ce6d4a130468e15f75678c1f4c`.
Standard Greptile reviewed the same commit: 5/5, zero comments. Apex
then reviewed that same commit: 5/5, zero comments. Final checks confirm
no unresolved review threads and no merge conflicts.
- Initial full CI on `00c002fd5a` failed one scheduled-retry route test
at 18/20 cancellations. Controlled cancellation latency reproduced the
short poll-budget failure. Before the next cycle, master advanced with
#18322, which coordinates that test at the first completed batch. The
separate local timeout commit was dropped during rebase. The upstream
test passes locally. The rebased run passed 46 targeted owner/reset and
scheduled-retry route cases. This PR has no scheduled-retry source or
test diff.
- No deployed provider run or tenant rollout is claimed by these source
tests.

## Risks

The exception applies only to a new normalized session and an exact
completed plugin task. The old checkpoint remains evidence and cannot
authorize reuse through this path. The original suspension failure can
remain visible on its run. This fix prevents repeated startup failures
after a reset; it does not hide unconfirmed cleanup or make every
suspension succeed. Missing task receipts and failed file collection
continue to block replacement. No schema migration, plugin protocol
change, Rust Runner binary change, or new polling is required. Tests use
a controlled task boundary; they do not certify every external provider
implementation.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with tool use and local code execution. The
exact runtime model ID and context-window size are not exposed in this
session.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

**Paperclip version or commit**

The initial investigation used
`ebd05e9f4c88c66af7473db86bbaacfd1544aa0a`.

**Deployment mode**

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

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

**Current behavior**

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

**Proposed behavior**

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

**Reason and benefit**

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

**Breaking changes**

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 8362dbff4d feat(runner): make every ACPX provider declare its release attestation (#18342)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native ACPX runs admit a provider only when its saved profile
version and `commandDigest` match the current profile exactly.
> - #18325 made every provider digest attest its upstream release, and
bound the shared ACPX layer and Runner source through the pack
`contractDigest`.
> - The model is documented, but it lived in prose. A new provider, such
as one in an open PR, could still choose another digest model without
any check or guidance.
> - This pull request makes the model the default path: each provider
declares its attestation in one registry, and the generator, a test and
a scoped rule explain the pattern where contributors meet it.
> - The benefit is that new providers and upstream bumps follow one
model, without a growing list of blocked legacy patterns.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18325, #18237.

**What happened?**

After #18325, only Copilot, Grok and Pi went through
`acpx-release-attestations.mjs`. Cursor and Antigravity had separate
inline checks in the generator, and Claude and Codex had none. A new
provider could add a profile with any digest. Nothing told the author
how to compute it, and nothing pinned the profile versions that now
change only for deliberate resets.

**Expected behavior**

Every ACPX provider declares how its `commandDigest` attests the
upstream release. Tools and review guidance describe the pattern when a
contributor adds a provider, bumps an upstream release or changes a
version.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Add a new provider profile to
`packages/paperclip-runner/acpx-profiles.json` with an arbitrary
`commandDigest`.
2. Run `node
packages/paperclip-runner/scripts/generate-acpx-profiles.mjs --check`.
3. Before this change, the check passes.

## What Changed

- Add `ACPX_RELEASE_ATTESTATIONS` to
`scripts/acpx-release-attestations.mjs`. Every profile declares one
kind:
- `installed-command` (Claude, Codex): installation hashes the upstream
launch command.
  - `launcher` (Grok): the SHA-256 of the launcher shipped verbatim.
- `closure` (Copilot, Pi): upstream versions and complete platform
closure pins.
- `declaration` (Cursor, Antigravity): a checked-in release declaration,
as canonical JSON.
- `generate-acpx-profiles.mjs` checks every profile through the
registry. The separate Cursor and Antigravity digest checks are now part
of the same path. No digest changes.
- A profile without a declared attestation fails generation. The message
says to declare one and points to the rule.
- A stale digest message now says that a digest changes only with its
upstream release, and that an upstream change keeps the profile version.
- Add a test that pins the profile versions. It explains that a bump
resets every saved session for that provider, and that a new provider
starts at 1.
- Add `rules/acpx-profile-identity.mdc`. It describes the identity
model, how to add a provider, when to bump a version, and review
criteria. `AGENTS.md` and `.greptile/files.json` route the profile,
attestation, contract-registry, ACPX driver and provider paths to it.
- Update the profile identity section in
`packages/paperclip-runner/docs/durable-recovery.md` with the
attestation kinds and the version policy.

## Verification

- In `packages/paperclip-runner`:
- `node scripts/generate-acpx-profiles.mjs --check` passes. Running it
without `--check` changes no digest.
- `node --test scripts/acpx-release-attestations.test.mjs
scripts/contracts/contract-fingerprints.test.mjs`: 22 tests pass. New
cases: every profile declares an attestation, a new provider without one
fails with guidance, and Cursor and Antigravity declaration changes
affect only their own digests.
- `vitest run src/drivers/acpx/profile-compatibility.test.ts`: 15 tests
pass, including the version table.
  - `tsc -p tsconfig.json --noEmit` passes.

## Risks

- Low risk. No digest, version or runtime admission behavior changes.
- A new provider PR must add one registry entry. The generator error
states what to add.
- The version table needs an edit for each deliberate reset. Upstream
bumps do not touch it.

## Model Used

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

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 abc270ee4c fix(runner): attest upstream releases and bind ACPX uniformly for every harness (#18325)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native ACPX runs admit a provider only when its saved profile and
`commandDigest` match the current profile exactly.
> - For Copilot, Grok and Pi, `commandDigest` hashed dozens of Paperclip
source files. Claude, Codex, Cursor and Antigravity hash only their
upstream release.
> - Any change to a bound source therefore advanced these profiles.
#18212 alone moved Copilot from v88 to v91 and Grok from v15 to v19.
Each bump reset in-flight sessions and added immutable identity fixtures
(about 160 on master).
> - #18237 added the provider pack `contractDigest`, which now guards
Runner source compatibility at the pack boundary.
> - This pull request changes the Copilot, Grok and Pi digests to
upstream release attestations, as the other providers already use.
> - It also binds the shared ACPX layer the same way for every ACPX
harness: the profile's `acpxVersion` and the pack `contractDigest`,
which now covers the Runner's ACPX patch.
> - The benefit is that Runner source changes no longer reset these
sessions or need new profile versions and fixtures.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18237, #18212, #17972.

**What happened?**

A Runner change that touched a bound source file changed the Copilot,
Grok or Pi `commandDigest`. The author had to advance the profile
version, regenerate an identity fixture and keep every old fixture. On
deploy, saved sessions for that provider failed the exact admission
check and started fresh.

**Expected behavior**

A provider's `commandDigest` changes only when its upstream release
changes: an upstream version, a platform closure, the ACPX patch or the
Grok launcher. Runner source compatibility is the job of the pack
`contractDigest`.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. On master, change a comment in `src/drivers/acpx/runtime-host.ts`.
2. Run `node packages/paperclip-runner/scripts/grok-profile-identity.mjs
--check`.
3. The check fails. The Grok profile must advance, and the next deploy
resets Grok sessions.

## What Changed

- Add `packages/paperclip-runner/scripts/acpx-release-attestations.mjs`.
It computes the release attestation for each provider:
- Copilot and Pi: a canonical-JSON hash of the profile version, upstream
package versions and the platform closure pins (Pi also binds its Node
version).
- Grok: the SHA-256 of `launcher.cjs`. Admission already hashes these
bytes.
- The attestation binds no Paperclip source, shared ACPX layer, absolute
path, pack manifest digest or install layout.
- Bind the shared ACPX layer once for every ACPX harness (Claude, Codex,
Copilot, Cursor, Grok, Pi, Antigravity):
- Add the Runner's ACPX patch (`patches/acpx@<runner acpx
version>.patch`) to the pack `contractDigest`. A patch change now
retires older image packs for every harness. Other packages' ACPX
patches are not read. A build context without the Runner's patch fails.
- Remove the ACPX patch hash from Cursor's release declaration
(`cursor-contract.json`) and advance Cursor once to profile 17. Copilot,
Pi and Cursor no longer bind ACPX in their own digests, like Claude,
Codex, Grok and Antigravity.
- Saved inputs for every harness already must match the current
`acpxVersion`.
  - Claude and Codex digests do not change.
- `generate-acpx-profiles.mjs` writes these digests to
`acpx-profiles.json`. `check:acpx-profiles` refuses a stale digest.
- Move the Copilot closure pins to `copilot-closure-pins.ts`, so that
the generator can import them. `copilot-installation.ts` re-exports
them.
- Advance each profile once and then freeze it: Copilot 92, Grok 20, Pi
37. A version change at the switch keeps the rollout on the same path as
every earlier profile bump.
- Replace the historical version lists in `profile-compatibility.ts`
with a range. Every revision from 1 through the current one decodes.
Claude and Codex still decode revisions 1 through 5. Launch and recovery
admission still require the exact current profile and digest.
- Delete:
- `scripts/copilot-profile-identity.mjs`,
`scripts/grok-profile-identity.mjs` and its test
  - the Grok launcher source stamp
- 159 Copilot, Grok and Pi identity fixtures, including three
unreferenced `copilot-mainline-v*` fixtures. The Cursor fixtures stay.
- Rewrite the affected tests as behaviour checks:
- Each provider admits only the exact current profile. Every earlier
version decodes and is refused at admission.
- The last source-bound digests, and a changed digest at the current
version, are refused by recovery and by the backend factory.
- The Rust Pi descriptor test uses the generated profile instead of
fixtures.
- New `acpx-release-attestations.test.mjs`: a relocated copy of the
inputs gives the same digests, each upstream input changes only its own
providers, and the generator refreshes and checks the manifest.
- Remove the fixture exceptions from `.dockerignore`. Add the
attestation script and the generator to the Daytona image content
inputs.
- Update the Pi install probe and the Rust integration constant for the
new Pi digest.
- Update the docs to describe the current attestation model:
`doc/grok-native-runner.md`, `doc/RUNNER-INTEGRATION-PLAYBOOK.md`,
`doc/observability.md`,
`packages/paperclip-runner/docs/durable-recovery.md`, and the Copilot,
Pi and rich ACP architecture reports. Each report now opens with the
current profile identity; earlier source-bound profiles remain as dated
chronology. No doc references a deleted file.

## Verification

- In `packages/paperclip-runner`:
- `node --test scripts/acpx-release-attestations.test.mjs
scripts/contracts/contract-fingerprints.test.mjs`: 19 tests pass,
including a Runner ACPX patch edit that changes the contract digest,
other patch edits (including `acpx@0.12.0` for `adapter-utils`) that do
not, and a build context without the patch that fails.
  - `node scripts/generate-acpx-profiles.mjs --check` passes.
- `vitest run src/drivers/acpx src/backends src/contracts`: 1647 tests
pass, 9 skipped.
  - `tsc -p tsconfig.json --noEmit` passes.
- From the repository root, `vitest run --config
tests/runner-e2e/vitest.config.ts
tests/runner-e2e/daytona-image.test.ts`: 11 tests pass.
- In `server`, the 8 test files that use ACPX profiles, pack digests or
`contractDigest`: 1617 tests pass.
- Not run locally: the Rust tests and `cargo fmt`, because this machine
has no Rust toolchain. CI runs them.
- Before this change, a synthetic upgrade check built two Runner
revisions that differ only in shared source. A Claude checkpoint saved
under the first revision rebinds under the second, and a changed Claude
`commandDigest` starts fresh. This confirms that the provider JSON has
no other build-dependent field.

## Risks

- **One reset at rollout.** The Copilot, Grok, Pi and Cursor digests and
versions change once. Saved sessions for these providers start fresh on
their next run, as after any earlier profile bump. After this change,
Runner source changes no longer cause this reset.
- **Lost "source changed, so requalify" signal.** The old digest forced
a new profile version when bound source changed. Nothing enforced
requalification: Copilot was last qualified at v47. Pack-boundary
contract changes are now caught by the pack `contractDigest`.
- **Image packs are retired once for every provider.** Adding the ACPX
patch changes the pack `contractDigest`, so the controller uploads its
bundled pack (about 16 s per remote start) until images are refreshed.
Claude and Codex sessions are not reset: their digests and versions do
not change.
- **Grok launcher and closure pins.** The Grok digest covers only the
launcher bytes. Grok's runtime version is still checked separately at
admission, as before.
- **Grok digest equals early Grok profiles.** The launcher bytes have
not changed since profile 1, so the new Grok digest equals the published
profile 1 digest. The profile version still separates them: launch,
recovery and the backend factory require profile 20. An image pack from
that period has no `contractDigest`, so the pack gate refuses it.
`remote-provider-pack-verification.test.ts` now covers this case.
- **Docker context checks** run `generate-acpx-profiles.mjs --check`,
which now imports `.ts` pin files through Node type stripping.
`materialize-pi-distribution.mjs` already relies on this on Node 24.

## Model Used

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

e345b9217d fix(runner): paginate native task searches without hidden truncation (#18282)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native agents search tasks to find work that already exists.
> - The search schema permits 200 results, but the server returns at
most 100.
> - The response does not tell the agent that more results exist.
> - This pull request adds pages and reports the page size and
continuation cursor.
> - Agents can read the full accessible inventory before they decide
that a task does not exist.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A native `search_tasks` request with `limit: 200` returns only 100
tasks. Historical scans recovered 167 and 173 tasks with status
partitions. This proves missing inventory and extra work. It does not
prove duplicate task creation.

**Expected behavior**

Honor the declared limit. Report more results and give the caller a
continuation cursor.

**Steps to reproduce**

Create 205 matching tasks in a test company. Call `search_tasks` with
`limit: 200`. The baseline returns 100. The fixed path returns 200, then
five when the caller uses `nextCursor`.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Baseline: `81ebe479e8db8a3d59c86cdfb894bd917734492f`.

Related changes: #16979 changes UI status filters before pagination.
#13699 adds public task URLs. Neither repairs this native limit. An
exact `search_tasks` plus pagination PR search returned no result.

Pattern: [Task searches omit cases beyond the first
hundred](https://www.braintrust.dev/app/Paperclip/p/Paperclip%20Staging/patterns/c20462d6-05fd-4862-bfbd-7bec1f2bc159).

### Hypothesis and thesis for a fix

The native authority uses `boundedLimit` with its default maximum of
100. The tool schema permits 200. The response contains only `tasks`.
The raw request and result counts agree with this cause.

Fix the native authority and its canonical tool contract. Keep the
existing `tasks` field. Add `limit`, `returnedCount`, `hasMore` and
`nextCursor`. Use ascending task IDs so task activity does not move
results between pages. Apply current company, privacy and Muse read
checks before each page. A cursor grants no access. Callers must keep
the same filters and read every page. Concurrent task changes require a
fresh scan.

## What Changed

- Honor the native search limit of 1 to 200, with a default of 50.
- Add ID cursor pagination and page metadata.
- Describe complete inventory reads in the tool contract and access map.
- Refresh the generated semantic contracts and seeded catalog identity.
- Add regression coverage for complete inventories and access-filtered
pages.

## Verification

- Red: the database integration test requested 200 of 205 persisted
tasks. Baseline returned 100.
- Green: the same regression returns pages of 200 and five without
duplicate IDs.
- The native authority and Muse suites cover company exclusion, status
filters, empty pages, invalid cursors and readable-only metadata.
- Command: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/paperclip-runner-tool-authority.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/muse-native-visibility.test.ts`.
- The test uses the real run-bound native authority and disposable
PostgreSQL. It does not use an external model or change a deployed
scanner.
- Both native authority and Muse suites pass: 71 tests. Server direct
`tsc --noEmit`, Runner `typecheck:typescript`, `node
scripts/check-maps.mjs` and generated semantic contract checks pass.
- Full typecheck and build cannot finish here because `cargo` is absent.
The full local test command was stopped after about five minutes when
the complete CI matrix was running. It has no complete verdict.
Current-head CI passed, including typecheck, build, all
general/serialized/Runner test suites and E2E. Greptile is 5/5 with no
actionable findings at `392cb7424a1fa0ec73401d5e8a10a22b504fde32`.
Optional Storybook and manual Docker workflows were skipped and are not
executed coverage. The success-example correction also passed all 82
contract tests locally.

## Risks

Task order changes to ascending ID. Pagination is not a snapshot. New or
changed tasks can require a fresh scan. Each page retains the existing
full company-list read and Muse authorization cost. This change adds no
database query loop or new background work. Existing callers can still
read `tasks`, but must follow `nextCursor` for a complete inventory. No
scanner implementation was supplied. No migration or deployment is
included.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with tool use and code execution. The exact
provider deployment ID and context limit are not exposed in this
session.

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 fa760dbce4 fix(runner): reuse image packs only with matching contract digest (#18237)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Remote native runs use a provider pack. The controller reuses a
protected pack from the sandbox image when the pack is compatible.
> - #17749 gates this reuse on a hand-maintained interface revision in
`provider-pack-contract.json`.
> - Later changes altered the runner/pack boundary (#17922, #18188), but
nobody bumped the revision. A stale Claude or Codex image pack can still
be reused across a sidecar contract change. This is the failure class of
#17972.
> - A manual revision has a "forgot to bump" failure mode. Source-byte
hashes change on every refactor, so they are too brittle.
> - This pull request declares the sidecar `session.open` contract in
its JSON schema and computes a contract digest from the JSON contracts
and Rust shapes.
> - Image-pack reuse now requires an equal digest.
> - The benefit is that an incidental change keeps image packs reusable,
and a real contract change retires them automatically.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17749, #17972, #17922, #18188.

**What happened?**

The controller reused an image provider pack when `compatibility.acpx`
and the selected agent's profile digest matched. For Claude and Codex,
that profile digest binds only the upstream executable. The ACPX
interface revision stayed at 1 after later sidecar contract changes. A
pack built before those changes passed the reuse check.

**Expected behavior**

The controller reuses an image pack only when the pack uses the same
runner/pack contracts as the controller's bundled pack. Comments,
formatting and refactors do not change that result.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Build an image pack from a commit before a sidecar input change, such
as a new `session.open` field.
2. Run a controller from a later commit that sends the new field, with
the same interface revision and Claude version.
3. Before this fix, `verifyRemoteProviderPack` accepts the old image
pack.

## What Changed

- Declare the sidecar `session.open` parameter set as a closed
`sessionOpenParams` definition in `acpx-sidecar.schema.json`.
- `generate-acpx-sidecar-contract.mjs` now generates
`GENERATED_ACPX_SIDECAR_OPEN_PARAMS` from it.
- `parseOpenParams` uses the generated list instead of an inline `Set`.
The accepted set is unchanged.
- This is the surface of #17972. The schema is now its source of truth.
- Declare the nested `session.open` contracts that the sidecar parses
strictly:
- `protocol/provider-schemas/runtime-context.schema.json` closes every
runtime context object. `parseNativeRuntimeContext` uses the field lists
that `scripts/generate-runtime-context-contract.mjs` generates from it.
- The sidecar schema declares the closed `providerPolicy` object, and
`parseProviderPolicy` uses its generated field list.
  - The accepted fields do not change.
- Add
`packages/paperclip-runner/scripts/contracts/contract-fingerprints.mjs`.
It fingerprints these contracts:
  - the PRP and sidecar JSON schemas, with annotation text removed
  - the generated catalogs in `generated/`
- the Rust serde shapes, `json!` payload keys, match literals and env
keys in `runner-core/src`, without test-only modules
  - the reserved env key lists in `configured_environment.rs`
- Read only the trees that every pack build context contains. Fail when
a registered source is missing, so two build contexts cannot silently
produce different digests.
- Use only Node built-ins. The registry adds no dependency.
- Write `contractDigest` as a top-level payload field in
`build-provider-pack.mjs`. The manifest digest algorithm and the
existing field layout do not change.
- Require an equal `contractDigest` for image-pack reuse in
`remote-provider-pack-verification.ts`. A pack without a digest is not
reused. The controller uploads its bundled pack, as it does today for
any incompatible pack.
- Re-attest the source-hashed profiles, because this PR changes their
bound sidecar sources:
- Grok becomes profile 15 and now also binds the generated allowlist, so
a Grok field change in the schema still invalidates the Grok identity.
- Copilot becomes profile 88, and also binds the generated runtime
context fields.
  - Earlier profiles stay decodable.
- Add the registry script and `generated/` to the Daytona image content
inputs.
- Document the digest and the schema-first rule in
`docker/daytona-runner/README.md` and `doc/DEVELOPING.md`.

## Verification

- `node --test scripts/contracts/contract-fingerprints.test.mjs` (in
`packages/paperclip-runner`): 4 tests pass.
  - These changes keep the digest:
    - schema description text
    - schema reformatting
    - renaming `parseOpenParams`
    - Rust comments, `#[serde(skip)]` fields and `#[cfg(test)]` modules
- edits to the `#[path]` test module `tests/provider_api_validation.rs`
  - These changes alter the digest:
    - a new `session.open` schema field
    - a changed constraint on the `remainingWork[].description` property
    - a new reserved env key
    - a new sidecar env key
    - a new checkpoint field
  - A build context without a registered source fails.
- `node --test test/acpx-sidecar-contract.test.mjs`: 13 tests pass. A
new case rejects an unknown `session.open` parameter and accepts each
declared parameter.
- `node --test scripts/grok-profile-identity.test.mjs`: 4 tests pass. A
change to the Grok field in the generated allowlist invalidates the Grok
identity.
- `generate-acpx-profiles.mjs --check`,
`generate-acpx-sidecar-contract.mjs --check` and
`generate-protocol-manifest.mjs --check` pass.
- Runner vitest suites pass: 470 passed, 1 skipped. They cover the
sidecar, sidecar input and protocol, Copilot and Pi installation,
profile compatibility, native execution, recovery identity, the backend
factory and the environment.
- Server tests: pack verification, executor and artifact preparation
pass (1,004 tests).
- `tsc --noEmit` passes for `packages/paperclip-runner` and `server`.
- `tests/runner-e2e/daytona-image.test.ts`: 10 of 11 tests pass. The
failing test also fails on `master`. It expects a literal
`profile-v19-identity.json` line in `.dockerignore`, which uses a
`profile-v*` glob.
- Not run locally:
- A complete `build-provider-pack.mjs` run. The builder rejects the
local Homebrew Node because it is not portable after relocation.
- Rust tests and `acpx-controller-recovery.test.ts`, because `cargo` is
not installed.
  - The full `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm test:run` and `pnpm build`.

## Risks

- Only JSON contracts and Rust shapes are part of the digest. The
remaining TypeScript-only definitions are the `paperclip_finish` and
`paperclip_block` tool schemas in `completion-result.ts` and the
TypeScript env key lists. They are not covered until they move into a
schema. The nested `expectedIdentity` and `tools` values ignore unknown
fields, so a change there cannot cause a startup rejection.
- A change there can let a stale image pack be reused. The sidecar then
rejects the input with its strict parser error.
  - Today, Claude and Codex image packs have no contract check at all.
- The digest covers all registered contracts for the whole pack. A
contract change for one provider kind also retires image packs for the
other. Each replacement costs about 16 s per remote start until the
image is refreshed.
- Existing image packs have no digest. After deploy, the controller
uploads its bundled pack until the image is rebuilt.
- The Grok and Copilot re-attestations start fresh sessions for those
agents once after deploy, as each profile bump does today.
- The Daytona image content ID formula changes, so the next image build

DottaandPaperclip ebed7f5237 test(evals): protect Antigravity setup and two-turn delivery (#18190)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents and their work.
> - A provider integration must work through ordinary agent setup and
task controls.
> - The recorded Antigravity walkthrough exposed setup, delivery, and
continuation failures.
> - A repeatable check must verify real work and retain failed attempts.
> - This pull request converts all 47 recorded steps into one fixed
Product E2E journey.
> - Maintainers can rerun the case and inspect independent delivery,
cleanup, and accounting evidence.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Builds on merged #18187, #18188, and #18189, and consumes the shared
repairs from merged #18230 and the equivalent manual-policy declaration
from #18222. Refs #18214 for the CI task wrapper. Refs #12503 and #14938
for related legacy adapter work.

**Agent or provider**

Google Antigravity native Runner with a saved managed Google
subscription and the exact Low model.

**Why this adapter is useful**

A user must be able to add an agent, connect its account, and receive
real task results across a follow-up. Picker visibility alone is
insufficient.

**How the agent is invoked**

A fixed Playwright driver uses ordinary product controls. The agent runs
through native ACP. Independent checks use public APIs, actual
downloads, owned process observations, and native lifetime fences.

## What Changed

- Register one explicit-only case:
`antigravity-agent-journey.runner-antigravity.local.saved-subscription-two-turn`.
- Map all 47 source steps and declare saved-account prerequisites,
finite limits, and same-host macOS ARM64 scope.
- Create an agent through the ordinary picker, connect the saved
account, select Low, run Test, and wait for readiness. Save an
instruction marker, deliver a file, and update it through an ordinary
follow-up.
- Require each run's visible completed file activity, exact downloaded
bytes, committed Done result, same tagged conversation, distinct
physical owner birth, released lease, and free native fences. Verify
reload persistence.
- Stop failed native runs that still own a retry. Replay an existing
Stop with its durable request identity and wait for the matching audited
acknowledgement. A terminal reservation without a native intent remains
unconfirmed.
- Keep private evidence in the existing result, report, dashboard, and
accounting pipeline. Retain the paused QA agent and financial history
while preserving the shared account and budget policies.
- Journal only the ordinary wizard's future ID, target, name, intended
harness and expected creator before forwarding its POST unchanged. Bind
the response and interrupted recovery to exact identity reads; a pending
404 stays unconfirmed.
- Serialize private resource snapshots through temporary-file fsync,
atomic rename and directory fsync. Abort forwarding on storage failure
and preserve legacy receipts. If later journal or diagnostic writes
fail, retain the primary error, always close the browser, and attempt
the ordinary failed report.
- Add production-component browser controls and harden task-menu
readiness, alias selection, scroll restoration, failure packaging, and
one hermetic auth-test budget.
- Wait for the existing GitHub recovery fixture to register its next
deadline before asserting the original range; preserve its
nested-transaction and zero-request checks. In the decision-expiry
fixture, verify the exact saved expiry separately from the earlier
global wake of another queue.

## Verification

- Fresh registered acceptance passed on eval source
`9060f3cd01b7c3445ecdf703d72e9cf30fe42b59` and merged serving product
`61bd4ac6919c2309f766a25e62273b074cee3261`. It completed ordinary setup
and two turns with native `.5` and `gemini-3.8-flash-low`. All 16
matchers, 14 checkpoints, and cleanup passed in **165,613 ms**. Actual
downloads were **61 bytes** and **119 bytes**. Both turns passed their
own run-bound browser activity checks and reload persistence.
- Independent read-back confirms Done, a paused retained agent, the same
connected saved default account, and no active owned run. Both accepted
results have the same full tagged conversation and distinct primary
process births. All 21 observed processes retired; both leases released
and all three native fences were free after each turn. The selected `.5`
checkpoints also showed equal agent/backend session IDs; this is an
observed case requirement, not a generic ACP invariant.
- Receipts report 339,273 input tokens, 7,224 output tokens, and 202,846
cached input tokens. Subscription prices are unavailable. Billing
coverage remains incomplete, not free.
- The normal report CLI passed. All 310 files from nine original
attempts and two separate recoveries retained their hashes. The twelve
current screenshots are byte-identical, and 194 local report links are
contained and valid. The eight earlier reports were copied without
regeneration.
- Delivery source `1bf4fb04df04710b82844b3c9355767f46b5f68f` branches
from `d3f2a60e795fc60d64c8b19d1eed4d48657d5492` and merges cleanly with
current master `1d571de5f9f886d66e520800baec8fc2f67d0948`. All 41 prior
`c8b332` authored file blobs remain identical; the 42nd path is the
decision-expiry fixture contract correction. Creation ownership, the
strict durable writer, and the ordinary successful workflow remain
unchanged. Of 43 measured file blobs, 30 remain identical. The
Antigravity oracle, artifact, billing and report gates and its
suite-specific validation block remain unchanged. The actual retained
agent matches its original creator; its original request `setupId` was
not captured and is not reconstructed.
- Later master changes include model-visible workspace guidance and
rejected-terminal-report handling. Their bounded source assessment is
separate: the first actual finish failed, then a same-turn replacement
was accepted and committed. Later read-only results match both original
native-result hashes, and the complete event catalogs have no
`session.failed` event. Master #18228 also expands detection of explicit
JSON file requests. The measured create/update-and-attach `.txt` task
already required publication under both parsers; the publication
validation gate itself is unchanged. Master #18240 changes remote
workspace cache staging and adds an OpenCode index refresh. The selected
local lane returns before those paths. Master #18213 adds optional
numeric turn timing and trace boundaries. Its selected Antigravity
model, text, IDs, result and retirement semantics remain unchanged in
the bounded source review. Local diagnostic rows and awaits can change
event ordinals and latency; the oracle checks relative semantic order.
Collector coverage and latency improvement remain outside this proof.
This does not claim that the whole current runtime is byte-identical to
serving `61bd`, or relabel the measured result as a new run.
- The adopted upstream cache controls passed 3/3 with pinned real Turbo.
Forced work disables local and remote reads and writes; ordinary work
reuses local results. The original genuine-pnpm/Turbo controls remain
historical to `9060`'s earlier write-only policy. The duplicate cache
patch is superseded by #18230. Its qualification-only pnpm addition is
removed because the adopted upstream controls do not require it.
- The E2E typecheck, map checks and 277-control replay are carried from
the unchanged eval source paths. That replay passed, including the 183
Antigravity controls, catalog/connection checks and the separate
product-journey validator. The carried creation controls include 91
config/recovery cases. The final launcher suite passed 19/19, including
five real campaign finalization fault cases; the report suite passed
7/7. These final checks did not rerun the earlier 277-control group. The
canonical production-component browser spec passed in 27.4 s under its
unchanged 60 s limit before the replay. Four paused-composer cases and
the product base's build/typecheck plus 376 focused regressions were
verified earlier.
- The shipped wizard and actual API client cover persistence before
forwarding, lost response JSON, foreign/malformed requests, wrong
response identity/creator and cleanup-error preservation. Real
filesystem controls failed 5/5 before the writer repair and passed 5/5
afterward, preserving the old journal on partial-write, temporary-file
sync and rename faults. Three persistent-sync campaign controls failed
before the finalization repair and passed afterward. All five final
campaign fault cases preserve the primary failure, cleanup failure,
usage and failed report while attempting browser closure. The strict
journal still blocks the next mutation. These are provider-free
ownership controls; the Google task proof remains the original `9060` →
`61bd` acceptance.
- The decision restart check passed in the local 20-case fixture run. A
current-source real-PostgreSQL rollback control reproduced the exact
90,000 ms earlier global wake: the old equality rejected it, while the
exact durable expiry and new future-wake bound passed. The original 60 s
open-state, exact-timestamp, continuation and quiet checks remain. The
broader local run was **FAILED: 19 passed / 1 failed**, with a 15 s
timeout and a 30 s cleanup timeout in an unchanged timestamp-pagination
case. That case passed in canonical `c8b332` CI; the local timeout cause
remains inconclusive. An extra local server typecheck failed against
stale cached Runner declarations; it did not check this excluded test
file. Both limits remain recorded for fresh canonical CI.
- A broader local GitHub recovery group passed 21/22. Its unchanged
pagination case observed an unexpected config request; the log does not
establish the cause. That result remains retained, and fresh
current-head CI is the final broader gate.

- Exact delivery-head CI completed with 55 successes, two skips, and one
optional neutral review. Required `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e`, build,
typecheck, and Runner checks passed. Fresh Greptile is 5/5 with zero
unresolved threads. Optional Paperclip is neutral 4/5; its carried
recommendations are dispositioned against the public Stop contract and
selected live identity evidence.

Seven earlier converted attempts retain their failed grades and partial
evidence. Historical Paid8 and its later read-only per-run UI
observation remain separate from the fresh acceptance above. Unknown
prices and the older partial startup accounting remain explicit. Full
lineage and raw evidence remain private in the normal report bundle.

## Risks

- This case requires an authorized saved personal default Google
subscription and finite operator candidate admission. It does not test
fresh OAuth or establish global qualification.
- The physical observer supports a same-host loopback macOS ARM64
target. Cloud, Linux, and other models remain outside this case.
- A known-cost stop cannot cap missing prices or in-flight subscription
charges. Existing operator policies remain unchanged.
- Raw account/native identities stay private. Missing retirement proof
keeps resources retained. The selected cleanup mode does not test agent
purge.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex (GPT-6). The host did not expose the exact model revision
or context limit. The model used tools for code edits, tests, browser
automation, and review.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 1d571de5f9 Add shared native turn attribution boundaries (#18213)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages work performed by AI agents.
> - Native execution crosses the plugin worker, Runner, sidecar, and
durable event boundaries.
> - Existing outer spans leave repeated preparation and admission work
unattributed.
> - Optimizations need a common baseline with accurate ownership and
event meanings.
> - This change extends the existing opt-in tracing contract with
bounded timing receipts.
> - It preserves execution policy and keeps provider internals opaque
where the API provides no timing proof.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Attribution of native task preparation, retained/cold Runner handoff,
and completion-to-text work.

**Current behavior**
Worker spans use a flat provider contract. Workspace calls lack a
consistent dispatch envelope. Submitted-to-started timing is named as a
provider queue even though it includes other work. The transport does
not expose a shared breakdown of its waits.

**Proposed improvement**
Add invocation-scoped nesting, bounded numeric remote receipts,
current-run transport timing, durable receipt intervals, and distinct
completion/text milestones. Reuse the existing exporter. No latency
optimization is included.

Related public work: #17842 consolidates existing startup tracing tests;
it does not add this runtime coverage.

## What Changed

- Extend the optional SDK tracer with nested async scopes and completed
timing receipts. Keep the host responsible for parent identity,
capability checks, attributes, clocks, depth, and count limits.
- Add dispatch and bounded host-read timings for environment and
workspace providers.
- Resolve transport parents on each call so retained sessions do not
retain an earlier run's trace.
- Split cold/resume/attach/prepare/registration/command/started-event
waits. Add opt-in numeric ACPX Runner/sidecar status and prompt-start
receipts.
- Distinguish first completion request, validated tool receipt, final
result commit, first nonempty text, and event persistence. Rename the
submitted-to-started interval to match its meaning.
- Link completed earlier remote lifecycles to their host-owned observer
rather than placing them under a later polling request. Preserve
sampling, timestamp limits and budgets.
- Document the versioned coverage map, causal clock limits, and baseline
acceptance requirements.

## Verification

- Current head: GitHub CI is fully green. Standard Greptile and Apex are
both 5/5, with no unresolved review threads. Full-suite validation was
performed in CI; follow-up local validation was limited to affected
packages and tests.

- Review follow-up: early rejection, missing provider capability and
startup-parent regressions were reproduced and fixed. The affected
worker/SDK/timing set passes 128 tests; 28 timing/context tests, SDK
typecheck and direct server TypeScript checking pass. The server
typecheck wrapper reached an unrelated Runner rebuild and stopped
because Cargo was absent from PATH; full Runner/image validation remains
in CI.

- CI failure accounting: the earlier Turbo cache/force conflict and
Linux OpenCode shell assertion were reproduced and diagnosed. A direct
proc probe ruled out permissions; a portable shell comparison identified
Bash skipping BASH_ENV with stripped SHLVL and socket stdin. Upstream
#18230 now supplies the CI and ignored-stdin fixture fixes; this PR
adopts them without duplicate CI changes. The strict Linux OOM assertion
passed before this source-equivalent merge.
- Retry follow-up: the three insertion/replay/failure timing cases and
server typecheck pass. The existing database regression now asserts a
single marker across identical result replay; the current-head CI
integration gate passes.
- Upstream CI alignment: all three real-Turbo 2.11.10 integration cases
pass. The repository policy gate rejected committing a generated
lockfile; the final PR contains no lockfile edit and uses the maintained
inline stale-lockfile recovery.
- Linked-lifecycle follow-up: 44 focused host/export tests pass (three
optional SDK-dependent cases skip); SDK and server typechecks pass. The
API contract test verifies an explicit root context, host-owned observer
link and unsampled suppression.
- SDK typecheck and focused worker/invocation tests: 30 passed,
including clock changes, bounded legacy IPC, and manual-span
creation-scope parentage.
- Focused reviewed host/native/transaction-boundary checks: 44 passed.
The 86-test worker-manager suite passes after updating its exact
assertions for the host-owned timing budget found by CI. Earlier
preparation/first-text checks also passed.
- Affected server and Runner TypeScript checks pass after building local
workspace declarations.
- Merge follow-up: the profile/candidate startup subset passes 94 tests,
the four Grok source-identity checks pass, and Runner TypeScript
checking passes. A subsequent execution-factory merge passes 21 focused
timing/trace tests and server TypeScript checking.
- Pinned Rust build and the ACPX Rust subset pass. The hostile receipt
projection test passes. Source profile compatibility checks: 127 passed,
one existing skip. Grok identity checks: four passed.
- Broad transport/ACPX suite: 410 passed after building all fake
provider binaries. Earlier attempts failed on missing
Runner/fake-provider outputs; building the required fixtures resolved
those failures.
- The first CI run correctly rejected stale source attestations. After
integrating current master, Grok advances 13→14 and Copilot 84→85;
master’s historical fixtures and Pi 35 stay byte-identical. Provider
dependencies, models and permission defaults are unchanged. Identity
generation/checks now pass.
- The added real-Postgres result lock regression could not initialize
its local embedded cluster. The insertion/replay/failure unit
regressions pass. The current-head CI integration gate passes.
- Comprehensive repository checks and image builds are delegated to CI,
as requested for this instrumentation pass. No deployment, model run,
collector-ingestion proof, or latency improvement is claimed.

## Risks

The new SDK methods are optional. Legacy span calls and endpoint-off
behavior remain supported. The host accepts only closed timing names and
bounded attributes. Remote durations are anchored at local receipt;
transport/scheduling uncertainty remains explicit. Trace trees have
count/depth limits. The first rollout must inspect actual collector
exports before treating the baseline as accepted. Fresh live
qualification for the new source identities remains a rollout
requirement. Revert these commits to remove the new measurements; no
schema migration is required.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning and local code/tool
execution. The exact runtime model ID and context-window size are not
exposed in this session.

Devin FoleyandClaude Opus 5.5 16816d45e6 fix(runner): keep OpenCode thread/read within runnerd's frame limit (#18218)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Paperclip Runner runs OpenCode agents through runnerd and the
OpenCode app-server proxy
(`packages/paperclip-runner/src/cli/opencode-app-server-proxy.ts`).
> - When runnerd restores an OpenCode session, it sends `thread/resume`
and then `thread/read`. It uses `thread/read` only to find an active
provider turn.
> - The proxy answered `thread/read` with the full retained OpenCode
message history (`GET /session/{id}/message`) in one JSON-RPC line.
> - runnerd rejects a provider stdout line that is larger than 4 MiB
(`CODEX_APP_SERVER_MAX_FRAME_BYTES`). A long OpenCode session therefore
can never resume. Each restore fails with `harness stdout frame exceeded
4194304 bytes`, and the run stops with `provider_frame_too_large`.
> - This pull request makes the proxy return turn metadata only, the
same as the Codex metadata-only read.
> - The benefit is that long OpenCode sessions resume again, and resume
no longer reads the full message history.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A Paperclip Runner OpenCode task on staging tried to resume its session
in a new sandbox. The restored OpenCode state was approximately 41.5 MB.
The `run.attach` command failed with `failed to resume OpenCode
provider: failed to start opencode provider: harness stdout frame
exceeded 4194304 bytes`. The server recorded
`native_session_recovery_failed` with error code
`provider_frame_too_large`, and it stopped automatic replay. Each new
attempt has the same failure, because the message history only grows.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run an OpenCode task until its session holds more than 4 MiB of
message parts.
2. Let the run continue in a new runner process, so that runnerd must
send `thread/resume` and then `thread/read`.
3. The proxy writes the full message history in the `thread/read`
response. runnerd rejects the frame and the resume fails.

**Expected behavior**

The resume succeeds. The size of the session history does not change the
size of the `thread/read` response.

**Root cause**

`thread/read` in the OpenCode proxy added `transcript: await
session.read?.()`. No consumer reads this field. The Rust provider reads
only `thread.turns` (`latest_active_turn_id`). The Codex path already
avoids message hydration for the same check ("Never hydrate message
contents just to decide whether this thread has an active turn").

## What Changed

- `opencode-app-server-proxy.ts`: `thread/read` now returns `thread.id`,
`thread.cwd` and `thread.turns` only. It does not call `session.read()`.
- `test/fixtures/fake-opencode-server.mjs`: the fake OpenCode server can
now return a large retained message history. The test enables this with
a `fake-message-history-bytes` file in `XDG_DATA_HOME`. This follows the
existing file-switch pattern of the fixture. Without the file, the
response is `[]`, as before.
- `src/cli/opencode-proxy-thread-read.test.ts`: a new regression test.
It builds the real bundled proxy entrypoint, starts a session, stops the
proxy, gives the persisted session a 5 MiB history, then starts a new
proxy and sends `thread/resume` and `thread/read` (the runnerd restore
sequence). It asserts that all stdout frames stay below 4 MiB and that
`thread/read` still reports the thread id and turns.

## Verification

- Red before the fix: `npx vitest run
src/cli/opencode-proxy-thread-read.test.ts` failed with `expected
5243183 to be less than 4194304`. The 5,243,183-byte frame was the
`thread/read` response.
- Green after the fix: the same command passes.
- `npx vitest run src/cli/opencode-app-server-proxy.test.ts
src/cli/opencode-proxy-thread-read.test.ts`: 6 passed.
- `npx vitest run src/cli/opencode-proxy
src/backends/native-instruction-measurement.test.ts
src/drivers/opencode`: 158 passed, 1 failed. The failure
(`opencode-server-driver.test.ts` > "uses provider structure rather than
prose length to select a post-tool answer") also fails on the unchanged
base commit in this environment. This change does not touch that path.
- `tsc -p tsconfig.json --noEmit` for `packages/paperclip-runner`:
passed.
- Safety checks:
- Consumers: only the runnerd Rust provider (`read_thread`) calls
`thread/read` on this proxy. It reads `thread.turns`. No TypeScript or
Rust code reads `transcript`.
- Active-turn detection does not change. The `turns` logic is the same
code.
- Resume now does less work: one `GET /session/{id}/message` request
less.
- Not run locally: the Rust tests and a full runnerd plus real OpenCode
resume. This environment has no Rust toolchain. The Rust code does not
change. CI runs the Rust suites.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change removes one unused response field.
- If an external tool read `transcript` from the proxy's `thread/read`,
it does not get it now. I found no such consumer in this repository.
- Tasks that already failed with `provider_frame_too_large` continue
only after this proxy reaches the runner provider pack and the task runs
again.

## Model Used

- Provider: Anthropic. Model: Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`). Used
through Claude Code with tool use (shell, file edit, GitHub connector)
and standard reasoning.

DottaandPaperclip 54cc522e86 feat(runner): add gated native Antigravity ACP execution (#18188)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents and their work.
> - Native Runner must bind each provider turn to the selected task,
account, model, and instructions.
> - Antigravity needs native ACP admission and physical process
ownership across continuation.
> - A saved conversation must not reuse an old process owner or silently
switch its effective model.
> - This pull request adds the native candidate behind exact operator
admission.
> - The default release gate remains closed while qualification is
pending.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Builds on merged #18187. Product account setup and the candidate
producer are in dependent #18189. The repeatable browser journey is in
#18190. Refs: #12503, #14938; those proposals use legacy CLI adapters.

**Agent or provider**

Google Antigravity ACP 1.4.3.

**Why this adapter is useful**

Users need to set up an Antigravity agent and run real work through
their managed Google subscription.

**How the agent is invoked**

Native Paperclip Runner uses the pinned Antigravity ACP runtime. Exact
operator admission is required while qualification remains pending.

## What Changed

- Add native Antigravity ACP model and instruction admission,
selected-account homes, and fenced refresh ownership.
- Carry exact candidate authority from the control plane through Runner,
Rust, the sidecar, and each current run. Clamp daemon lifetime to the
absolute permission expiry, including replacement owners.
- Preserve a rotated OAuth refresh token before later identity
verification can fail, including failed or cancelled startup admission.
Make private lease-close retries safe.
- Bound native probe retirement and retry the exact original owner; do
not delete credential homes before physical proof.
- Preserve Gemini API-key recovery when shared Google subscription
capability is added.
- Resume the same tagged native conversation with fresh per-turn process
ownership and physical native retirement.
- Include native manifests in isolated Rust image stages, release cache
keys, and dev rebuild detection. The workflow changes only extend
existing cache input lists.
- Keep current master provider behavior and append Grok 13, Pi 35, and
Copilot 84 input identities. Preserve prior identities, including saved
Copilot 82 and 83 runs.

## Verification

- Runner TypeScript main checks, profile generators, Rust formatting,
and offline workspace checks pass. The native backend integration target
passes 28 tests.
- The complete transport and cleanup group passes 387 tests without
unhandled rejections. These checks use local scripted children and
actual process and port ownership.
- Saved-profile decoding, native-execution parsing, installation, and
selected-credential controls pass 208 focused tests. All 109
pre-existing profile identity files remain byte-for-byte unchanged.
Copilot, Grok, and shared TypeScript/Rust generation checks pass.
- The final recovery fixture passes all seven cases. After the master
rebase, the combined recovery and owned-Node-runtime group passes all 10
cases. Each expiry case sets one 45-second absolute grant before
startup. It includes the deliberate six-second cold delay, four existing
eight-second command budgets, and active-turn headroom. The test proves
an active turn before expiry and then checks the daemon, owned process
group, child processes, and all three native port fences. The 60-second
test deadline does not renew provider authority.
- The consolidated model-discovery and pending-release group passes 22
tests. Google credential compatibility and auth recovery pass 25 tests,
including existing Gemini API-key recovery. The full product settings
test group remains intact in #18189.
- Earlier failures remain in their original CI runs and local records.
They exposed the Copilot 82 decoder gap, an expired five-second fixture
bootstrap ticket, and a fixture grant consumed before activation on
loaded CI. Each repair has a separate result. Production ticket limits
and admission behavior are unchanged by the final test commits.
- An unrelated decision-expiry check failed in [the earlier CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40941986698/job/123688668997).
Its owning code is unchanged from the base. The unchanged suite passes
20 tests on isolated PostgreSQL. A controlled database rollback
reproduces the earlier wake: clean startup schedules the 120-second
decision expiry, while rollback reconciliation leaves a 30-second
continuation-coalescing wake. The decision stays open, with no wake
delivery or error. The fresh final-head server shard passes; the failed
result is preserved.
- Final native commit `ec6bc7e4d77f5ae0cc4946dbba6c662e95a87f5b` passed
`ci / verify` and `ci / e2e`. Fresh Greptile and Paperclip reviews both
score 5/5, with no open findings. Antigravity retains the recorded
native `.5` closure and exact low-model profile. This PR does not claim
global or cross-platform qualification.

## Risks

- The new transport carries private managed credentials. Exact
ownership, account generation, model, instructions, and native
retirement are fail-closed.
- Only local macOS ARM64 has a verified complete Antigravity runtime.
Default Antigravity task execution remains disabled without current
trusted operator admission. The Google server sign-in lane and
production candidate producer ship in #18189; this native slice does not
expose the subscription catalog choice.
- Shared launch inputs change provider identities. New identities are
append-only; existing recorded identities remain available.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex (GPT-6). The host did not expose the exact model revision
or context limit. The model used tools for code edits, tests, and
review.

DottaandPaperclip 9e09d8f51f fix(runner): clarify native approval argument recovery (#18205)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - First-task onboarding requires a saved human proposal decision
before child work can start.
> - Native proposal tools reject interaction metadata placed outside
their advertised schema.
> - The existing rejection text focuses on question forms and does not
explain the misplaced approval metadata.
> - This pull request explains the field placement and keeps approval
recovery in its original confirmation or checkbox kind.
> - It also retains safe schema guidance in the run log so operators can
identify the rejected field.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #18025 for native first-task proposal recipes and #16889 for safe
native schema guidance. Related open PR #18105 changes separate server
API-client guidance.

**What happened?**

A native first-task confirmation copied `version` and
`supersedeOnUserComment` to the tool root. Both belong inside `payload`.
The runner correctly rejected the call before execution, but its
feedback described question forms. Later calls kept the misplaced field
and changed the approval into a question. No proposal card was created.
The run log retained only a generic schema error.

**Expected behavior**

Keep strict validation. Explain the nested field locations. Keep a
confirmation or checkbox approval in that kind while correcting its
arguments. Save the normal pending card and wait for an actual human
decision. Retain bounded schema guidance without storing rejected input.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Send an otherwise valid native confirmation with root-level `version:
1` and `supersedeOnUserComment: false`.
2. Observe the pre-dispatch `invalid_tool_call` rejection.
3. Move both fields into `payload` and keep `interactionKind:
"confirmation"`.
4. Verify that the corrected call creates one pending confirmation,
exact replay creates no duplicate, and child creation still needs saved
human acceptance.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The observed argument shape and initial regressions came from public
source base `c32e1ba6`. The repair is based on maintained master
`4a6f6a65`. Public tests use synthetic prompts and identifiers.

## What Changed

- Give rejected confirmations and checkboxes approval-specific guidance.
It names `payload.version` and `payload.supersedeOnUserComment` without
suggesting a question-form recipe. Other human-input errors retain
complete question-form guidance and stable question/option ID
instructions.
- State the allowed native root fields in the first-task skill and put
the metadata inside both executable proposal recipes.
- Retain the existing safe guidance in `semantic_tool_denied`
diagnostics. Keep the original rejection identity and
`paperclipExecuted: false`.
- Preserve only the exact bounded scalar diagnostic payload after
verified event admission. The rest of the envelope and all API
request/result bodies keep their existing redaction.
- Add a real native Codex transport regression and strengthen
advertised-schema, card replay, human-admission, persistence, and
privacy controls. Update the execution contract and onboarding maps.

## Verification

- Red: the native transport reproduced the malformed confirmation and
showed that the old hint omitted the metadata correction. A second red
confirmed that approval guidance still included the question-form
recipe. The corrected transport case now rejects before execution,
retains a safe hint, and dispatches one corrected confirmation that
returns a pending card.
- Red: both shipped recipe checks lacked explicit nested metadata. All
49 first-task admission tests now pass, including advertised-schema
validation, idempotent card replay, actual human acceptance, agent-only
rejection, and question-answer controls.
- Updated native checks pass on the current repair: 95 native Codex
transport tests with 2 existing ignored cases, all 32 provider-bridge
tests, and the schema-feedback unit control.
- API/case persistence regressions were red before the event-boundary
correction. All 71 affected port/redaction tests pass in a clean run at
frozen head `3be3a70f`, including the corrected envelope privacy
regression. The focused 16-test persistence/privacy group and server
typecheck also passed earlier.
- Full local `pnpm build` and `pnpm -r typecheck` pass at exact head
`3be3a70f` in a clean detached checkout with Node 24.22.0 and pnpm
9.15.4. Exact-head CI passes: [full PR
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40950360142)
and [isolated native Runner
readiness](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40950359835).
- The full local unit attempt recorded a 15-second timeout in the
unrelated Microsoft Teams 100,000-character existing-comment publication
case. That failure remains recorded. The exact isolated rerun passed (1
test; 1,814 unselected). The aggregate timeout cause is unproven. That
long local run straddled subsequent source edits and also observed the
two port regressions during their red phase; it was stopped and is not
final-head evidence. The clean affected-suite run above and current-head
CI provide the final verification. No timeout or assertion was weakened.
- Release-registry CI initially rejected the native test's compile-time
schema include outside the release crate's hashed input closure. The
guard was reproduced locally. The test now reads the current canonical
schema at execution. All 10 crate-cache controls and the real native
approval regression pass afterward; the cache guard and workflow keys
remain unchanged.
- Current-head Greptile review is 5/5 with no unresolved review threads.
All required checks pass (56 success, 4 skipped). The advisory Paperclip
Review remains neutral/incomplete after one normal re-review request; no
completed assessment or score is claimed.
- `cargo fmt --check`, map structural checks, and `git diff --check`
pass.
- Source and scripted-provider checks do not prove that a model will
follow the guidance. The original live onboarding attempt remains
failed; acceptance at a deployed revision is separate work.

## Risks

- This changes repair guidance and shipped instructions. It does not
make malformed arguments valid or supply a human decision.
- Diagnostic retention adds no rejected arguments, values, or unknown
input keys. The API receipt allowlist is unchanged. The validated-event
exception restores only the safe scalar payload; optional debug and
other envelope metadata still pass through redaction.
- The existing 512-byte guidance bound, strict tool schema, company/run
binding, idempotency checks, and proposal admission remain effective.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol (`gpt-6.1-sol`) through Codex, with tool use and code
execution. The context-window size is not exposed to this session.

DottaandPaperclip d2c7edda16 test(runner): own Node executable in ACPX recovery fixtures (#18196)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and controls their work.
> - The runner recovery tests check durable ACPX session ownership.
> - The runner must reject a qualified executable that other users can
write.
> - The recovery fixture passes the shared host Node executable to that
guard.
> - A hosted CI job rejected the fixture before it opened a session.
> - This pull request gives the fixture its own Node copy with safe
permissions.
> - The recovery tests can then check recovery without changing the
production guard.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #18185, #14529.

**What happened?**

The Runner vitest 2/2 job in [run
40928584358](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40928584358/job/123645695206)
failed five ACPX controller recovery tests. Each test failed at
`session.open` with `qualified ACPX must not be group- or
world-writable`. The assertion did not retain the failing artifact path
or mode. The fixture passes `process.execPath` as its command and digest
source.

**Expected behavior**

A test must supply an owned executable with the permissions that the
production guard requires. It must not change the shared host executable
or weaken the guard.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run `acpx-controller-recovery.test.ts` on a host where the shared Node
executable permits group writes. The remote job above retains the actual
failure. Local validation in this PR does not execute the controller or
compile Rust.

## What Changed

- Extract the existing Node and Homebrew `libnode` copy logic into a
test-support helper.
- Use that helper in the existing native distribution fixture.
- Use an owned Node copy for the recovery descriptor, qualified command
and command digest.
- Add filesystem checks for copied bytes, permissions, library selection
and unchanged source files.
- Ignore only a missing adjacent library directory. Report other read
errors with the directory and original cause.

## Verification

- Three filesystem-only Vitest tests passed. They use synthetic writable
artifacts and copy the actual host Node bytes without executing them.
- TypeScript no-emit passed for the new helper and its pure test.
- The new real-filesystem `ENOTDIR` control fails against the first PR
head and passes after the review fix. The parent returned an incomplete
closure; the successor rejects it during preparation.
- `git diff --check` passed.
- The first-head Build job failed in the public npm consumer check with
`ETARGET` for `@aws-sdk/credential-provider-web-identity@^3.972.85`. A
later single exact-version official registry metadata request returned
HTTP 200 for `3.972.85`. This preserves the original failure and does
not establish its cause. No dependency version or check was changed. The
source review fix will receive normal fresh-head CI.
- The first local test configuration had an import error. The first
typecheck invocations had configuration and type-path errors. Corrected
invocations passed; those setup failures are retained in the source
receipt.
- On the reviewed successor, remote Build passed and all five ACPX
controller recovery tests passed. The other runner shard failed because
the new real-Node Buffer deep-equality assertion exhausted its worker
heap. The one-line follow-up uses native Buffer byte equality and keeps
the same invariant. Its three filesystem controls and scoped typecheck
pass; latest-head normal CI remains required.
- Final head `1939f41a7e9cb4031acdf8e99df431b81f28ba03`: both required
checks (`ci / verify`, `ci / e2e`) pass. Remote tests confirm 5 recovery
tests, 33 native distribution tests and all 3 owned-Node tests pass.
Greptile is 5/5 with no open review threads.
- A server queue test timed out at 15 seconds on this head. Its actual
CI checkout has identical server and dependency sources to the prior
passing checkout. One authorized failed-only replay passed at the same
checkout: all 105 files and 2,270 tests passed. The specific test took
5.23 seconds. Passing Build and runner jobs were carried forward. The
original timeout remains retained; this does not establish its cause.
- The actual recovery and native distribution tests, full typecheck,
build and full suite were not run locally. Those tests can compile or
execute native runtime code. Normal PR CI must verify them before
delivery.

## Risks

- Moving the existing fixture copy logic could affect platform-specific
Node library loading. The helper retains the existing Homebrew library
rule and permission modes. Remote CI remains required.
- This change does not prove which artifact mode caused the retained CI
failure. It removes the fixture's dependence on shared host executable
permissions.
- Production code, dependency versions, timeouts, retries, workflows and
writable-artifact guards are unchanged.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with source inspection and code tools. The
exact serving model identifier and context window are not exposed in
this session.

DottaandPaperclip 09c05c5505 feat(runner): provision pinned Google Antigravity native runtime (#18187)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents and their work.
> - Native Runner providers need verified executables before they can
run.
> - Google Antigravity ships a native ACP server and a helper
executable.
> - An archive hash alone does not verify the installed runtime or its
child process cleanup.
> - This pull request adds a pinned installer and a small, verified
compatibility patch.
> - Later pull requests add Runner execution, account setup, and the
recorded user journey eval.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #12503, #14938. Those pull requests use the legacy CLI adapter.
This stack adds native Runner ACP support.

**Agent or provider**

Google Antigravity ACP 1.4.3.

**Why this adapter is useful**

Users need a reproducible runtime before they can select Antigravity for
a Paperclip agent.

**How the agent is invoked**

The installer prepares the native ACP server and helper. This pull
request does not enable task execution. Default execution remains closed
pending qualification.

## What Changed

- Pin the complete macOS ARM64 runtime closure. Keep other platforms as
inventory only.
- Verify archive entries, installed bytes, ownership, and cache layout.
- Patch exact upstream code anchors for model admission, instruction
loading, native process ownership, and per-call file tool completion.
- Package a self-contained installer and expose `paperclipai runtime
setup antigravity`.
- Record candidate limitations and historical acceptance evidence.

## Verification

- Runtime provisioning, packaging, metadata, and patch support tests: 62
passed. The separate exact pinned native patch run passed all 5 tests
with no skips and no Google authentication.
- CLI runtime setup tests: 5 passed.
- Map contract check passed. Staged diff whitespace check passed.
- The first test command ran before dependency installation and failed
on missing esbuild. The same command passed after installation.
- Current master has a stale lockfile. Dependencies were resolved
locally with scripts disabled. The generated lockfile is excluded from
this pull request.

- Final head: required `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e` passed, and Greptile
is 5/5 with both review threads resolved. The optional external
Paperclip Review remains queued. Two original timing failures are
retained; one failed-job rerun passed without source or deadline
changes.

## Risks

- The patch depends on exact upstream native code. A new upstream
release must get a new verified closure.
- Only macOS ARM64 has a complete verified runtime. Installation does
not qualify authentication, task execution, or other platforms.
- The installer downloads official Google assets when the verified cache
is absent.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex (GPT-6). The host did not expose the exact model revision
or context limit. The model used tools for code edits, test execution,
and review.

DottaandPaperclip 6f278dd6d7 fix(runtime): settle recovery lease and connection lifecycles (#18167)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - A remote runner can survive a controller restart.
> - Recovery renews its execution lease during slow preparation.
> - The native executor then shares that renewal timer.
> - Preparation kept its reference until all finalization finished. A
tick after lease release treated completion as ownership loss and
detached the retained runner.
> - A Linux continuity test also found that buffered wire events could
arrive before their connection was registered. Cleanup then kept a
completed promise under an undefined key and never finished.
> - This pull request transfers renewal ownership after execution
acquires its reference. It also registers each connection before wire
callbacks can run.
> - Recovered turns can complete, retain the warm runner, and settle
connection cleanup.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A recovered remote run could complete, release its coordinator lease,
then detach during instruction collection. The next turn could find the
old runner still using the ingress port. Recovery then stopped because
it could not prove process ownership.

**Expected behavior**

Preparation keeps the lease alive until execution owns renewal.
Execution stops renewal before releasing the lease. Actual ownership
loss still detaches the runner. Buffered wire callbacks must use the
registered connection, and cleanup must finish.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Recover an in-flight remote runner after a controller restart.
2. Let the recovered turn complete.
3. Hold instruction collection open through the next lease renewal tick.
4. Send a follow-up that needs the retained runner.

Related: #17439 introduced remote controller recovery. #18011 preserves
checkpoint authority through warm preparation. This change fixes the
lifetime of preparation's renewal reference.

## What Changed

- Pass an internal lease-acquired callback from recovery through
heartbeat dispatch.
- Release preparation's renewal reference after the executor registers
its own. Keep final cleanup for exits before dispatch.
- Add a PostgreSQL regression for completion while finalization is still
pending. Cover callback forwarding, acquire-before-release ordering, and
failure before dispatch.
- Register the authority connection before subscribing to wire events.
Handle an immediate close before accepting buffered data.
- Add regressions for a message or close delivered during subscription.
- Extend Linux continuity coverage with preparation renewal and delayed
instruction collection after recovery.
- Update the continuity guide and session verification recipes.

## Verification

- The new recovery regression failed before the fix because renewal
detached the runner after lease release. The 76 recovery, renewal, and
dispatch tests then passed. The final ordering and early-exit checks
passed again after replacing fixed sleeps with controlled interval
ticks.
- Both buffered-wire regressions failed before the connection fix. All
170 control-plane tests passed afterward. Existing tests cover stale
authority, ownership loss, pending operations, and closed ingress.
- Linux ARM64 acceptance passed at
`a7daefacceb8bd994d0b79d284cdf54f3e3829d1`, with Node 24.19.0,
PostgreSQL, the real Rust runner, TLS ingress, and a deterministic Codex
protocol fixture. The test interrupted the first turn, recovered it,
held finalization open for a renewal interval, and completed two
follow-ups. It retained one provider process, three turns in one
history, and the same runner identity. Final suspension and connection
cleanup completed. The ordinary warm-reuse case also passed three turns
with one provider process.
- Earlier Linux attempts completed the turns but hung during cleanup. A
debugger found a fulfilled promise keyed by an undefined connection. The
regression reproduces that defect. One later setup attempt timed out
while staging an unstripped 373 MB debug binary. The passing run used
the same binary with debug symbols removed.
- Reproduce Linux acceptance with the `same-server` case in
`doc/testing-native-remote-continuity.md`.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, map validation, and `git diff
--check` passed at the final revision. The full local `pnpm test:run`
command was attempted, but the serial run had not finished after 13
minutes. It was stopped after the equivalent CI lanes passed. It is not
counted as a full local pass.
- Greptile and the Paperclip review both scored the final revision 5/5
with no findings. All Runner verification lanes passed. The first CI
attempt hit timing failures in voice recovery, agent YAML configuration,
and the task-title outage browser test. The full YAML and voice-recovery
files passed locally (88 and 19 tests). These paths were unchanged and
passed on the prior revision. All three passed on the single retry.
Final current-head status: 55 successful checks, one neutral check, and
two skipped Storybook checks. No pending or failed checks remain.
- Live Daytona/model acceptance and recovery of the hosted task remain
unverified. This PR does not deploy the change.

## Risks

- Releasing preparation before execution starts renewal could leave a
gap in authority. The callback runs after the executor registers its
reference.
- Preparation errors must not leak renewal. The recovery promise retains
idempotent final cleanup.
- Wire callbacks can run during subscription. Message and close
regressions check that registration is complete before either callback
runs.
- No schema, API, model, permission, lease duration, or retry policy
changes.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip c32e1ba6da fix(onboarding): keep approved child task handoffs runnable (#18160)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages work through tasks, agent runs, dependencies, and
human decisions.
> - The first-task workflow asks for approval before it creates an
execution task.
> - File-producing work must run on a child task before onboarding can
finish.
> - A child blocked by its onboarding source cannot start while the
source waits for that child.
> - This change rejects that dependency during task creation and later
edits, and gives the agent a correction.
> - The shipped recipe shows the dependency direction and requires the
actual approved inputs in the child instructions.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

After human approval, an onboarding run could create a child with the
onboarding source in `blockedByTaskIds`. Creation saved a blocked child
with no wake. The parent could then wait for that child. A handoff could
also refer to input from the parent conversation without including the
input in the child description.

**Expected behavior**

The approved child can execute before its waiting parent. Invalid
first-task dependency input fails before task creation and leaves the
same command key available for a corrected call. The child instructions
include the required approved input and constraints.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Accept a proposal on a server-created first task.
2. Call native `create_task` with `status: "todo"` and the onboarding
source in `blockedByTaskIds`.
3. Observe a blocked child with no scheduled wake. Block the parent on
that child to expose the stalled handoff.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The regression reproduces on `f8484a9f8d1f68e9534fee4f29e00e716dc680f4`.
The repair is based on current master.

**Deployment mode**

Core native and REST task creation. The same server boundary serves
self-hosted and hosted instances.

Related: #18080 fixed remote delivery of the selected first-task skill.
This change handles the later child handoff boundary.

## What Changed

- Reject a task blocked by its authenticated first-task source during
creation and later dependency edits. Later agent edits also check the
locked target's server-owned onboarding parent, protecting a child
running under its own execution. Compare UUID identity in PostgreSQL so
alternate supported UUID spellings cannot bypass the check. The error
explains the correction.
- Add a native child/dependency recipe with self-contained approved
input guidance. Clarify the general `create_task` input descriptions and
update their generated contracts.
- Cover native and REST rejection, corrected retry, preserved valid
dependencies and replay, and an executable recipe with exact input bytes
read from the child's own context. Thread the authenticated run through
native dependency edits. Keep blocker corrections independent of a new
proposal decision.
- Update execution semantics and the existing onboarding map entries.

## Verification

- Red on `f8484a9f`: the new native regression received a created
blocked child instead of the expected rejection.
- Review regressions were red on the original PR head: uppercase,
unhyphenated and braced source UUIDs created blocked children; a later
child PATCH returned 200 and saved the reversed blocker.
- Review follow-up reproduced both native and REST child-own-run
bypasses on `75fa75a6`: the native dependency call applied the reverse
edge; the child's own PATCH returned 200. The regression uses the actual
authenticated child execution and an already checked-out task.
- All 95 tests across first-task admission, assets, and the full native
tool-authority suite pass. The shipped recipe is validated against the
native schemas and exercised through real task/dependency services with
disposable PostgreSQL. Rejected PATCH tests preserve existing
authorization and attempt-audit behavior and require no requested
task-field, relation or wake change. Compatibility controls retain
ordinary manual parent blockers, explicit board edits, other blockers
and empty-list corrections.
- Runner TypeScript build, generated contracts, capability inventory,
protocol manifest, and map checks passed.
- Server typecheck and all 95 focused tests pass with the child-run
follow-up. All latest checks pass on `f24509ae`: 55 successful checks,
one neutral review check, four skipped checks, and a successful legacy
security status. Both automated reviews are 5/5 on this exact commit.
- Prior-head CI failures are preserved: the Runner close fixture had
unconfirmed provider drain while suspension succeeded; its exact
fake-provider subprocess row passed locally with unchanged sources. The
browser outage test lost its title textarea before any outage write. A
bounded local control with a fully loaded composer passed every original
outage assertion. The prior failure is an editor-readiness race; its
exact asynchronous ordering remains unproved. No UI, browser-test, or
timeout change is included. Neither failure is counted as a pass or
silently discarded.
- The first `f24509ae` CI attempt had two interrupted jobs: Typecheck
and General server 9/12. Their logs record runner shutdown signals. The
server job also records lost runner communication. The same-head
failed-job rerun passed both jobs and the required aggregate. It reused
the other successful results. No source, test, or timeout change was
made for the rerun. The failed attempt remains preserved. Full
repository checks pass in CI; the local full repository typecheck, test,
and build commands were not repeated.
- No external model or provider calls are used by these checks.
Real-provider acceptance at this revision remains separate.

## Risks

- The new rejection uses the authenticated run and the server-owned
onboarding origin. Ordinary tasks, other blockers, empty-list
corrections, and already committed creation replay retain their existing
behavior. Blocker edits do not reapply the creation approval gate.
- Nonempty blocker edits perform two indexed identity reads; the task
lookup covers at most the run source and locked structural parent. Other
patches and empty-list corrections add no source lookup. The update
guard adds no parent row lock behind a child. Existing REST
authorization checkout and attempt auditing remain in place before the
domain mutation guard.
- The explicit input recipe guides the model. Schema and persistence
tests do not prove that a future model follows every instruction.
- The tool guidance changes the generated semantic catalog identity. The
maintained generated files are synchronized in this change.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` through Codex, with `ultra` reasoning effort,
repository tools, code generation, and test execution. The context
window is not exposed by the runtime.

DottaandPaperclip 76a796e964 test(runner): cover ACPX execution across controller replacement (#18161)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native Runner keeps provider execution separate from the main
server.
> - A server replacement must reconnect to the original execution.
> - ACPX recovery also needs the original provider session to remain
alive.
> - We need to distinguish a controller outage from a provider crash or
an explicit close.
> - This pull request adds five process-level regression tests for those
boundaries.
> - The tests prevent duplicate launches and preserve the scope of the
evidence.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17097, #17439 and #17455. These changes add coverage for the
existing recovery contract. They do not add another recovery
implementation.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Native ACPX execution across authenticated PRP controller replacement.

**Current behavior**

Runner has recovery coverage, but this ACPX sequence needed a focused
test: lose the controller, restore its checkpoint, adopt the same
process, and close the old controller. A provider that has already
closed can return `ACPX request snapshot requires the surviving
provider`. That message alone does not identify why it closed.

**Proposed behavior**

Run five credential-free regressions with the production Rust Runner and
a scripted ACPX peer. Preserve active work and offline completion. Check
native transport adoption and old-controller cleanup. Keep
provider-crash and explicit-close controls separate from controller
recovery.

**Reason and benefit**

Catch a future change that kills or replaces a live execution during
controller replacement. Keep a matching error control from being
mistaken for proof of a hosted root cause.

## What Changed

- Add five process-level ACPX controller recovery tests.
- Restore controller state from an external checkpoint after deleting
local controller storage.
- Check that native transport adoption does not launch a replacement
Runner.
- Build the debug Runner before the tests. Pass only the test bootstrap
credential to its process.
- Verify scripted-peer shutdown through its lifetime sockets instead of
signaling a saved provider PID.
- Document the command, dependencies, optional prebuilt binary/profile
overrides and verification limits in the Runner README.
- Give the setup hook 30 seconds of margin above the bounded Cargo
build.

## Verification

- Focused test: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec vitest
run src/control-plane/acpx-controller-recovery.test.ts --maxWorkers=1` —
5 passed.
- Adjacent regression selection: `src/control-plane/`,
`src/live/runnerd-controller-outage.test.ts`, and
`src/live/acpx-request-recovery.test.ts` — 5 files and 195 tests passed.
- Protocol manifest and package ownership checks passed. The standalone
forbidden-import checker reports existing imports in unchanged files;
this PR changes none of those files or the checker.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed. The full `pnpm test:run`
attempt is retained. Its first database cases failed because the local
macOS PostgreSQL package lacked required dylib aliases. Direct native
probes identified the missing libraries. Local dependency aliases
restored initialization, and one unchanged failing warm-session database
case then passed. The original full-suite attempt was stopped after that
diagnosis. Its failures remain retained; full-suite completion is not
claimed.
- Current-head CI repair: browser shard 5 failed after the task reload
because the result was still behind the conversation loading veil. The
saved snapshots show this state. The UI has a 15-second history reveal
limit, but the result assertion had a 5-second wait. The test now
returns to the task tab and waits for its existing history-content
readiness before it checks the result. `PAPERCLIP_E2E_PORT=38741 pnpm
exec playwright test --config tests/e2e/playwright.config.ts
tests/e2e/connection-reviews.spec.ts --grep 'connection review:
(approve|decline|always|failure),'` passed all four journeys in 2.9
minutes against a fresh local server and database. Master independently
received the same readiness fix in #17923. This branch merged that exact
base version, so the browser file is not part of the final PR diff. The
five ACPX tests passed again after that merge. No production UI code
changed in this PR. The original failed CI report is retained.
- Retained CI failure: the first Linux run rejected the scripted peer's
automatically assigned ports because they can be below the protocol
minimum of 49152. The fixture now binds explicit random ports in the
permitted range, with bounded collision retries. No production
validation was relaxed. The fixed peer also passed a network-isolated
Linux arm64 container check; that check used the actual generated peer
and verified permitted ports and clean EOF shutdown.
- Review follow-up: both native-transport reads require the original
active turn ID with status `inProgress`. Adoption always runs for a
selected prebuilt binary. The crash control accepts only explicit
provider-loss diagnostics, not any snapshot-error wrapper. Focused tests
cover these changes.
- Final review follow-up: the setup hook has a 150-second limit around
the 120-second Cargo build. The README documents both optional
overrides. All five focused tests passed in default mode (17.72 seconds)
and with the prebuilt binary plus profile overrides (10.90 seconds). The
fixture version is explicitly passed through `--runner-version`; it is
not a check against Cargo package metadata. The crash control verifies
the original PID receipt and released lifetime fence ports before it
accepts only known provider-loss diagnostics.
- CI completed successfully for
`d31647fb95f38b7d9d56bc8c13a9a8c0b391d247`, including all eight browser
shards. Final head `949a70596f07042cf7b39a5a3ccb9a9445b6e855` also
passed [all CI
gates](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40904592159),
including all eight browser shards, and received fresh 5/5 Greptile and
Paperclip reviews. All six review threads are resolved.
- Separate manual provider evidence used real Claude Opus 5.5, ACPX
0.13.1, Claude ACP 0.73.0 and Claude SDK 0.3.286 on macOS arm64. Source
`929e840595c8933ca485ac7a2e99413e1e11ca64` survived 10-second and
300-second controller outages. Original source
`4f8104dec6a0bb37009080daa8984a80f58b7a04` survived a 10-second outage.
The five-minute case retained the original processes and session, made
useful progress, reattached at 303.793 seconds from disconnect, and
completed once. These runs preceded this branch rebase and do not
qualify every change in the rebased server.
- Retained manual failures: the first historical attempt failed
installation admission because scratch dependency symlinks escaped their
root. Correcting that setup allowed the next attempt to start. The
five-minute harness initially checked the final message before
asynchronous projection finished. Saved final-item and terminal events
passed an independent evidence check. The original failed result remains
retained.

## Risks

- This PR adds tests and documentation only. It changes no production
protocol, recovery logic, database schema or browser behavior.
- The automated tests use a scripted ACPX peer. They do not establish
real Claude, PostgreSQL, Daytona or Cloud rollout acceptance.
- The tests require Cargo and a POSIX host. Their waits are bounded.
They stop only their own Runner and scripted peer.
- The earlier hosted provider loss remains unexplained. The separate
real-provider experiments did not reproduce it.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, tool use and code execution.
The host does not expose a more specific serving model ID or
context-window size. Anthropic Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`)
performed the separate synthetic verification workloads.
