DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 c4ba3974a7 fix(heartbeat): close run admission before a graceful shutdown closes its listener (t09) (#20102)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A graceful restart (K2) drains the control plane: it closes HTTP
admission, suspends running runs, and the next boot resumes them
> - Run admission stayed open while the HTTP listener closed.
Heartbeat's shutdown flag was set only later, inside hot-restart
preparation
> - A run that finished in that window released its issue and promoted
the queued comment wake. That started a new run that had no callback
listener
> - A remote warm continuation then failed with
`local_runtime_api_listener_unavailable`, and the task needed a Retry
(restart chaos t09)
> - This pull request closes run admission before the listener closes,
so the promoted wake stays queued for the next boot
> - The benefit is that a comment sent during a deploy continues on its
own after the restart

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19596

**What happened?**
In restart-chaos wave w-20261108T192459-s9501 (Daytona warm, Codex C1,
K2), a K2 SIGTERM started a graceful drain at 19:42:52 UTC, and the HTTP
listener closed first. At 19:43:03 the running turn finished and
released its issue. That promoted the queued comment wake, and
`startNextQueuedRunForAgent` started a new run about 11 s into the
drain. Backend setup resolved the local runtime API URL, found the
listener closed, and threw `local_runtime_api_listener_unavailable`. The
remote target is excluded from the closed-listener handoff, so the run
failed, and the task waited for a manual Retry.

**Expected behavior**
No queued run starts once a graceful shutdown has begun. A wake promoted
during the drain stays queued, and the next boot starts it with no
Retry.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a remote warm task and post a comment while its turn runs, so the
comment wake queues behind it.
2. Send SIGTERM to the control plane just before the turn finishes.
3. Before this change, a new run starts during the drain and fails with
`local_runtime_api_listener_unavailable`.

**Paperclip version or commit**
master at d007afbf86 (the wave ran on c5a172a183).

## What Changed

- `heartbeat/run-admission.ts` (new): a process-wide run admission gate
(`closeProcessRunAdmission`, `isProcessRunAdmissionClosed`). HTTP routes
build their own heartbeat instances, so the gate cannot live in one
instance.
- `heartbeat/queue.ts`: a new optional dependency,
`isRunAdmissionClosed`, which defaults to the process-wide gate.
`startNextQueuedRunForAgent`, `resumeQueuedRuns` and
`resumeQueuedRunsAfterDrain` start nothing (and read nothing) once it
returns true. Wakes are still recorded and promoted; only the start is
held.
- `heartbeat.ts`: also honors its own `shutdownInProgress` flag.
- `shutdown.ts`: `closeHttpListenerForShutdown` takes
`closeRunAdmission` and calls it first, before it checks or closes the
listener. `index.ts` passes `closeProcessRunAdmission`.

## Verification

- Red/green, new tests:
- `queue.test.ts`: "starts no run once shutdown closed run admission"
(for `startNextQueuedRunForAgent` and `resumeQueuedRuns`), and "honors
the process-wide run admission gate in every heartbeat instance".
- `shutdown.test.ts`: "closes run admission before it stops accepting
requests".
- `pnpm exec vitest run src/services/heartbeat/queue.test.ts
src/services/heartbeat/recovery.test.ts
src/__tests__/heartbeat-comment-wake-batching.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-startup-retry.integration.test.ts
src/shutdown.test.ts` (server): 5 files, 277 tests passed.
- `PAPERCLIP_TYPECHECK_LOW_MEMORY=1 pnpm typecheck` (server): passed.

## Risks

- Low risk. Only queued-run starts are held during a shutdown that has
already begun; wakes, drains, suspension and finalizers are unchanged.
The next boot's queued-run dispatch starts held runs.
- Known remaining window: a run admitted just before shutdown can still
reach backend setup after the listener closed. A local runner hands off
to restart recovery there. A remote warm continuation still fails,
because the remote target is excluded from that handoff (#19596) and the
bootstrap retry does not cover warm continuations. This change removes
the t09 sequence, where the run started after shutdown had begun; it
does not remove that narrower window.

## Model Used

(shell, file edits, test execution, a read-only research subagent).

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 e8a3f1f6f2 feat(recovery): prove a replaced container's records gone through a fenced controller epoch (#20054)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - After a restart, the control plane settles in-progress records
(leases, claims, intents) only once it proves their owner process is
gone
> - The proof compares host and PID space, so a stamp from a replaced
container or a rebooted machine stays unprovable forever, and its
records never settle
> - Self-hosted users on Docker, Kubernetes and Fly hit this on every
redeploy; a Railway deployment with an exclusive volume is covered by
`deployment_replaced` (#20026)
> - This pull request adds a fenced controller epoch: each boot holds a
database lease, and an expired boot is fenced so its records can be
proven gone
> - The benefit is that work stranded by a replaced container is
recovered, without keeping an idle database awake

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Follow-up to #20026 and the Phase 2 durable-ownership data. Related:
#19965 (owner stamps), #19883 (process space). No duplicate PR was
found.

**What happened?**

A record stamped by a server process in another container reports
`different_process_space`. A dead PID elsewhere is never proof, so the
record stays `unprovable` and is never settled. Every redeploy of a
self-hosted container leaves such records behind.

**Expected behavior**

A record owned by a server boot that was replaced (stopped cleanly, or
lost its lease and was fenced) is proven gone and settled exactly once.
A live boot's records stay with it. An idle server issues no recurring
queries.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run Paperclip in a container and start work, so an environment lease
is stamped by that boot.
2. Replace the container. The new container has a new PID namespace.
3. The ownership reconciler reports `different_process_space`
(unprovable) for the old lease, forever.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` before this PR.

## What Changed

- New `controller_instances` table (migration 0449): boot id, epoch
(bigserial), process space, pid, a lease on the database clock,
`fenced_at` / `fenced_by_epoch`, `stopped_at`.
- `controller-instance-lease.ts`, registered with the shared
delivery-work coordinator (`controller-instance-lease` queue, runs
during drain):
- **Holds work → renews; idle → silent.** One upsert creates the row on
first use and extends the lease only if the boot holds work: a stamp
within the last 90 s, or a stamp whose ownership write may still be
pending (held until the server's tracked work settles, capped at 10
minutes; a renewal that sees some other held record does not clear it,
so a slow ownership write cannot be outlived), or an in-progress record
held by its boot id. Those records are active environment leases,
in-flight cleanup claims, sandbox creation intents, workspace finalize
attempts, agent lifecycle steps, native finalizer and cleanup leases
(`lease_holder` bound to the token), open native coordinator claims, and
running legacy runs. Renewal runs every 30 s while the boot holds work.
When it finds none, the lease lapses and the worker sleeps until the
next stamp (`onControllerStamp`).
- **No idle trailing statements.** When the server's last tracked work
settles, the worker re-checks holdings at once, at most every 5 s (the
rate limit also absorbs the worker's own run). So the last check happens
with the work, not 30 s later.
- **Quiesce, don't crash.** Each renewal has a 10 s bound. A failed or
timed-out renewal applies an internal task drain, so no new work is
dispatched. A recovered renewal resumes. The boot exits only after 60 s
of failure (counted from the first failed attempt's start) while it
still holds work, or at once when it finds itself fenced.
- **Fence on demand, by a newer epoch.** For a stamp from another host
or PID space, the prover reads that boot's row:
    - `stopped` or `fenced`: gone.
    - live lease: alive.
- otherwise, the boot's last sign of life is the later of its lease
expiry and the record's last write plus the TTL. Within 30 s of that,
the owner stays `alive` (`controller_lease_grace`), so the settle watch
keeps rechecking. After that, the prover fences the boot, but only with
a lease row of its own (created on demand) and only an older epoch.
  - A graceful shutdown records `stopped_at`.
- A reconciliation pass that settles nothing (`record: false` or
`settle: false`) never fences and never creates the boot's row.
- `owner-proof.ts`: these proofs apply only to server-held records. A
stamp with a recorded process group stays unprovable, because agent
processes can outlive their server. The reconciler passes each record's
`updatedAt` to the proof.
- `task-admission.ts`:
- the quiesce drain never replaces an operator's drain, and has no idle
owner, so HTTP stays open;
- a `subscribeIdleWorkSettled` hook fires when the last tracked work
finishes.
- Off on a Railway deployment with an exclusive volume (it has its own
replacement proof). `PAPERCLIP_CONTROLLER_INSTANCE_LEASE=on|off`
overrides this. A stateless Railway service keeps the lease. A server
without its own lease row never fences.
- `maintenance-server-routes.test.ts`: in the post-run quiet window, the
lease may check once more that the run's records were released. The test
now excludes those statements, then asserts that the lease issues
nothing in a further window.
- Docs: `doc/execution-semantics.md`; the Phase 2 data doc records the
two known gaps.

## Verification

- `controller-instance-lease.test.ts` (15 cases):
- a replaced container with all Railway variables empty is fenced and
settled exactly once over two passes;
  - a live lease is alive;
- an owner in grace, and work written after an idle lapse, stay alive
and watched;
  - an older epoch never fences a newer one;
- no fencing without its own lease row (off or unregistered), and an
idle prover creates its row on demand;
  - a stopped boot is gone;
  - process-group stamps stay unprovable;
- idle issues zero statements, and one upsert renews only while records
are held;
  - **a 45 s outage:** quiesced, no exit, resumes;
- **a renewal that never answers:** bounded, and the boot exits on time;
- **a 70 s outage:** exits at 60–65 s, and the successor recovers the
work exactly once;
  - fenced: stops;
  - the settle re-check;
- graceful stop; off on a volume-exclusive Railway deployment, on for a
stateless one, and the on/off override;
  - a running legacy run keeps the lease live.
- Red, with the proof's instance check removed: the replaced-container,
live, stopped and successor cases fail.
- Wider: task-drain, idle-sleep, idle-local-work, owner-proof and
ownership suites, plus the maintenance quiet-window tests. Server
low-memory typecheck is clean.

## Risks

- **Clock skew.** The proof compares a record's `updatedAt` (often the
writer's clock) with the lease (database clock). The 30 s grace absorbs
ordinary skew.
- **A new exit path exists.** A server whose database is unreachable for
more than 60 s while it holds work now exits, after first quiescing.
This is the intended safety backstop.
- **Bounded trailing activity.** A lease that holds work issues one
statement every 30 s, plus at most one check when its work settles. An
idle server issues none.
- **Boots from before this release** have no row, and their records stay
unprovable. The board "mark owner gone" action for those follows in a
separate PR.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 988a4b6749 feat(recovery): ownable-kind registry and report-only ownership reconciler (#19861)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A control-plane restart leaves in-progress records owned by dead
processes, and about 31 per-subsystem proofs decide when to release them
> - The durable ownership plan (section C) asks for one registry of
ownable record kinds and one reconciler
> - Phase 1 must measure first: how many in-progress records exist, who
owns them, and which invariants they break, with no behavior change
> - This pull request registers 46 kinds from the Phase 0 inventory's
section C and adds a report-only pass to the existing native
finalization reconciler
> - The benefit is per-kind invariant-violation counts from chaos waves
and staging. That data unlocks Phase 2 (moving kinds onto one settle
path) and the removal of the company-wide admission gate

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19831 (plan, section C and Phase 1). Refs #19846 (Phase 0
inventory, section C). Stacked on #19853 (the prover) and #19851 (one
process identity).

**Problem**
No single place lists the control plane's in-progress records or checks
the plan's invariants. Each subsystem releases its own records by its
own rules, so nobody can count how many records break "owned", "settled"
or "visible next action".

**Expected behavior**
One report-only pass lists every registered kind, classifies each owner
as gone, alive or unprovable, and records each invariant violation once.
It changes no record and stays quiet when nothing is in progress.

**Impact**
Phase 2 moves kinds onto the shared settle path in the order these
counts show. Phase 3 removes the admission gate once the I3 data exists.

## What Changed

- New `server/src/services/recovery/ownership-registry.ts`: 46
`OwnableKind` entries (`id`, `obligation`, `storage`, `listInProgress`,
`settle: null`, `invariantChecks`). Each record names its owner as a
process stamp, a fence token, a run, an operator, or none. The
skill-cache lock is registered with a named coverage gap because its
lock files live in per-skill roots.
- New `server/src/services/recovery/ownership-invariant-report.ts`: one
pass classifies every owner with `proveOwnerGone` (or the owning run's
status), then runs:
  - I1 owned: an in-progress record with no owner;
- I2 settled: an owner proven gone on two consecutive passes while the
record is still in progress;
- I3 admission independence: terminal runs whose accounting outlives the
10 min closure, which hold company admission;
- I4 exactly-once intents: wake requests ended `skipped`/`failed` on a
temporary refusal (heuristic until section E);
- I7 visible next action: an agent-assigned `in_progress` issue with no
live run, no pending wake and no open recovery action for 5 min.
- I5, I6 and I8 are reported as named coverage gaps; I8 comes in the
speed-budget PR.
- Violations are written once per process to the activity log as
`recovery.invariant_violation` (`actorId: ownership-reconciler`,
`details.mode: report_only`), insert-only with no live-event or plugin
fan-out. Nothing goes to Telemetry (AGENTS.md §5.7).
- `native-finalization-reconciler.ts`:
`registerOwnershipReconciliationWork` runs the pass in the shared
delivery-work scheduler (new queue `ownership-invariant-report`). There
is no second loop.
- `index.ts` registers it after residual recovery and does not await its
first pass, so readiness is not delayed.

### Sleep-aware trigger (rules/sleep-aware-background-work.mdc)

- **Trigger:** one pass at registration (startup reconstruction from
durable truth). After that, a settled `active-execution-recovery`
signal, which run lifecycle, controller renewal and process-evidence
writes already emit. Signals are coalesced to at most one pass per 30 s.
No producer gained a write.
- **Pending predicate and next deadline:** a 30 s follow-up only while
the last pass saw a changing in-progress set, or an owner proven gone
that needs the second I2 pass.
- **Quiet:** an empty set or the same stuck set twice sets no deadline.
The test asserts `nextWakeAt() === null` after an idle pass.
- **Turn path:** the pass never runs before `turn.start`. Stamps read
only cached identity.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run src/__tests__/ownership-reconciliation-report.test.ts`
(embedded Postgres, in `server/`): 4 tests pass:
  - every kind is registered once with no settle path;
- verdicts per class: alive (this process's claim), gone (lease of a
failed run), unprovable (no owner; another PID space);
- each rule fires on its fixture, and I2 fires only on the second pass;
- every touched table is byte-identical before and after (report-only);
- activity rows are written once per violation, and none are written
with `record: false`;
- the worker is quiet when idle and schedules a follow-up only while
records change.
- `npx vitest run src/__tests__/delivery-work-coordinator.test.ts
src/services/owner-proof.test.ts
src/__tests__/server-startup-feedback-export.test.ts`: pass.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server`: no errors.

## Risks

- No record changes, so no settle risk. The risk is load: one pass runs
about 46 small indexed or `limit 201` queries, at most once per 30 s
while runs are active, and none when idle.
- I4 matches refusal text with a heuristic. It can over- or under-count
until section E gives wake requests closed terminal reasons. It is
labelled as such in the code.
- Violations dedupe per process, so a restart writes a still-open
violation again (once per boot). Chaos reports count distinct `(rule,
entityId)`.
- Previous-release story (`rules/upgrade-safe-run-state.mdc`): no
persisted run state changes. The pass reads rows of any age, and a
missing field classifies as unprovable.
- `heartbeat_runs` and `native_run_finalizations` record no host or PID
space, so foreign-boot owners there classify as unprovable
(`missing_identity`). This is the inventory's finding 2, and the report
makes it countable.

795ad16c1f fix(server): bound the shutdown steps before the run drain (#19165)
Bound initial shutdown waits and finish workspace repairs before teardown.

Share a 20-second budget between waits before the heartbeat run drain.
Retain the original workspace recovery stop promise and join it after the
run drain and finalizers, before application and database teardown. Keep
that join for hot restart when the run drain is skipped. Log step and
drain durations and bound telemetry flush separately after the drain.

Verification: all 154 tests across the three relevant shutdown/startup
suites and every server source/test typecheck layer passed. Both actual
server lifecycle variants reproduce premature teardown without the fix.
All applicable CI passed and exact-head Greptile Apex scored 5/5.

DottaandPaperclip e2c7d81067 fix(server): keep reply recovery off web startup critical path (#19769)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The server restores retained native replies during startup.
> - Fair reply recovery can admit more due work while an earlier group
remains active.
> - Waiting for that whole pass can hold web readiness on unrelated
retained replies.
> - This pull request tracks reply recovery with the existing background
startup owner.
> - The server can become ready while idle and shutdown still account
for that work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #19726.

**What happened?**

The startup path awaited the native response worker's first pass. That
pass can remain active while fair dispatch admits later replies. A
controlled `startServer` regression stays in recovery until the held
reply pass finishes. A deployed backlog supported investigating this
boundary, but no captured runtime stack proves it caused the observed
startup delay.

**Expected behavior**

Retained reply recovery must keep its authority checks, retry deadlines,
and fair dispatch. Its completion must not be a condition for unrelated
web readiness. Active recovery must still block idle and be joined at
shutdown.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the startup regression with a held native response worker promise.
Before this change, `startServer` does not complete. After this change,
startup reports ready, idle work remains active, and shutdown waits
until the promise settles.

## What Changed

- Track the initial native response pass with the existing heartbeat
scheduler work owner.
- Extend the actual startup wiring test to cover readiness, idle
accounting, worker stop, and shutdown join.
- Document the response recovery boundary for idle and readiness.

## Verification

- Mandatory agent preflight passed on macOS arm64 with Node 26.4.0.
- True RED: the new startup case failed because `startServer` had not
completed while reply work was held. The same case passed after the
change.
- Final head `279e97587b` passed the full startup test file: 123/123
tests.
- The unchanged real PostgreSQL later-page case passed. It holds 100 old
publication rows, publishes the independent 101st reply once while the
first pass remains pending, then verifies completion and no recurring
idle SQL.
- Final-head CI passed: 60 successful checks and 3 skipped checks,
including `ci / verify`. Fresh Greptile is 5/5 with no open threads.
- Server TypeScript check passed: `node node_modules/typescript/bin/tsc
-p server/tsconfig.json --noEmit`.
- Initial test-launch and missing generated SDK setup failures were
resolved before the regression ran. They are not RED or pass evidence.
- No deployment or live recovery action was performed for this PR.

Focused commands, from `server/`:

```sh
node ../node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run src/__tests__/server-startup-feedback-export.test.ts --maxWorkers=1 --no-file-parallelism
node ../cli/node_modules/tsx/dist/cli.mjs ../packages/db/src/test-postgres-command.ts -- node ../node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run src/services/native-runtime/native-response-publication-retry.test.ts -t 'publishes a later-page reply while older publication groups remain contended' --maxWorkers=1 --no-file-parallelism --hookTimeout 90000
```

## Risks

Web readiness can complete before retained reply recovery finishes. The
existing scheduler still owns errors, retries, scope checks, and
delivery authority. The existing idle tracker and shutdown join retain
in-flight work. Other startup recovery gates stay in place.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, `gpt-6.1-sol`, with reasoning, tool use, and code
execution. The context window size is not exposed.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 a894b11a2b fix(runner): retry a rejected runner suspension and log every cleanup quarantine (#19653)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A native run's close must prove that its runner durably suspended
before the session's next run may start. If it cannot, the runtime
quarantines the session (`NativeSessionCloseUnrecoverableError`)

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
Run A (ACPX Claude) succeeded. The run log of its close shows:
- `runner did not prove durable suspension before checkpoint`
- `native_session_settlement_incomplete
{"runnerSuspended":false,"providerDrained":true,"suspensionState":{"commandStatus":"failed","runnerLifecycle":"suspended",...},"semanticTools":{"pending":[]},"finalProviderState":{"activeProviderTurnId":null,"providerSettled":true}}`

The runner journal shows `runner.drain` completed, then `runner.suspend`
failed with `failed to suspend ACPX provider: ACPX sidecar command
session.suspend was rejected (retryable=false,
classification=unclassified)`. The follow-up run B on the same session
was created 200 ms after A finished and failed 2 s later at admission
(`retryQuarantinedSessionCleanups`, operator recovery branch). The
server log had no line for the quarantine. One Retry completed the task.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run an ACPX task whose sidecar rejects the first `session.suspend`
after the turn completes.
2. Start a follow-up run on the same session.

**Expected behavior**
The close asks again, proves suspension, and the follow-up runs. If a
quarantine is still needed, it is logged with its cause.

**Actual behavior**
The close fails on the first rejection, quarantines the session, and the
follow-up fails with no logged cause.

## What Changed

- `runner/.../durable/runner.rs` (`process_command`): a failed
`runner.suspend`, on first execution or replay, now keeps the runner in
`Continue` instead of `Suspend`. Before, the runner recorded `suspended`
over a provider whose session was still open, then exited. The RC-34
journal shows exactly that: runner lifecycle `suspended`, ACPX provider
`session_open`. A failed `runner.shutdown` still stops the runner.
- `durable-prp-control-plane.ts`: a failed or rejected `runner.suspend`
now lifts the connection's terminal-lifecycle fence, so the next pending
command (the fresh suspend) is delivered on the same connection.
Completed suspensions and every shutdown keep the fence. New test:
"delivers a fresh suspension after a rejected one on the same
connection". Before the fix, the retry was never sent and the test timed
out waiting for the frame.
- `runnerd-codex-transport.ts` (`awaitRunnerSuspensionBarrier`): after a
rejected `runner.suspend`, the barrier sends a fresh suspend command, up
to 3 attempts, 250 ms apart, inside the same close deadline. An exited
runner or a spent budget still fails closed. A rejection changes no
state: the runner returns before it records suspension.
- `native-session-runtime.ts`: new
`onNativeSessionCleanupQuarantined(listener)`. It is called when a
cleanup quarantine is created or escalates to operator recovery, with
company, run, issue, session, `operatorRecoveryRequired`, a bounded
cause (error name, code, message) and bounded settlement facts.
- `server`: `logNativeCleanupQuarantines` logs each quarantine as a
warning. The subscription is process-wide and installed once, so closes
that fail during shutdown, after HTTP closes, are still logged.

## Verification

- Red before the change: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner
exec vitest run src/live/runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts -t "rejected
suspension"`.
  - "retries a rejected suspension…" got `false`.
  - "stops retrying…" saw 1 attempt instead of 3.
- Green after the change: both pass.
- Rust: new test
`rejected_suspend_keeps_the_runner_serving_its_controller` covers a
failed suspend, its replay, and an accepted retry with a fresh command.
`failed_lifecycle_commands_replay_their_terminal_transition` now expects
`Continue` for suspend and `Shutdown` for shutdown. The `pnpm run
check:runner` unit suites pass (559). `acpx_park_readiness` has two
timing tests (`< 500ms`) that fail at this host load on unchanged master
as well.
- New runtime test: "announces every cleanup quarantine with its cause
when it is created" (operator-required quarantine, cause and settlement
reported once). `src/native-session-runtime.test.ts` passes (212).
- The suspension cases in `runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts` pass, except
"proves local suspension after an event backlog… (1024 suffix deltas)".
That case also times out on unchanged master at this host load (27–35);
I confirmed this by stashing the change and rerunning.
- Server `tsc --noEmit` passes after the runner package build.

## Risks

- A provider that keeps rejecting suspension now gets three tries
instead of one, within the existing close deadline. The final outcome
and quarantine are unchanged.
- The cause of the ACPX sidecar's first rejection is not proven. The
logged evidence fits the sidecar's "not at a safe suspension point"
guard (`turnId`, tools or inputs still set) racing the just-completed
turn. This change makes close tolerate it. It does not change the
sidecar.
- Log volume: one warning per quarantine.
- The Rust change ships in the runner binary. Hosted images need a
rebuild to pick it up.
- After a failed suspend, the runner stays alive with its provider. If
every retry fails, close still treats suspension as unproven and kills
the owned runner process, exactly as before.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 785ead5c7a fix(tasks): hold a Retry while the task's own native session close is retained (#19609)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - When a native provider session close fails, the runner keeps a
cleanup owner or quarantine in process memory. Its admission gate
refuses new sessions for that task (scoped to the task since #19532)
> - The server could not see that state. A task's Retry was accepted
(202), its run was dispatched, and the runner refused it at once with
`native_session_cleanup_quarantined: prior session cleanup remains
incomplete`
> - The user saw a Retry that failed instantly, and nothing said what to
do
> - This pull request lets the server read the runner's per-task cleanup
gate and hold the Retry with a clear reason. The Retry starts
automatically when the close is released
> - The benefit is that a Retry is never dispatched only to fail on a
block that is already known

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
After two hard restarts, a Codex run's close stayed incomplete. The
board Retry for that task was accepted, and its run failed in about 1 s
with `native_session_cleanup_quarantined: prior session cleanup remains
incomplete`. The next Retry did the same.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Let a native session close fail or stay pending for a task.
2. Press Retry on that task.

**Expected behavior**
The Retry waits with a clear reason, and starts when the cleanup
finishes. If the cleanup needs an operator, Retry is not offered and the
one working action is shown.

**Actual behavior**
The Retry is accepted and its run fails at once.

## What Changed

- `native-session-runtime.ts`:
- New `nativeSessionCleanupBlock({ companyId, issueId })`. It is a
read-only view of the in-process admission gate for one task: `pending`
(a retained close or a bounded automatic close recovery still owns the
task's provider resources), `operator_required`, or `null`. It grants no
authority.
- New `onNativeSessionCleanupSettled(listener)`. It is called whenever a
cleanup owner or quarantine entry is released.
- `explicit-native-continuation.ts` (the continuation gate for a Retry
or a new message):
- `pending`: the input is held with `local_cleanup` ("Retry is waiting
for the previous execution to finish cleanup. Your message is saved.").
It starts automatically when the close is released.
- `operator_required`: handled exactly like a recorded
`native_session_cleanup_quarantined` run. Retry is not offered. A new
message runs the existing stopped-process proof
(`verifyStoppedNativeSessionForContinuation`), which retires the runner
quarantine when the old processes are proven stopped.
- `native-cleanup-release-wake.ts` (registered in
`server/src/index.ts`): each cleanup release wakes deferred execution
for the company in a transaction, so a held Retry re-evaluates.
- `server/src/vendor/paperclip-runner/index.ts`: exports the two runtime
functions.

## Verification

- Red before the gate (server change stashed): `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/services/quarantined-task-retry.test.ts -t "holds a Retry"`
dispatched a successor run while the task's close was retained
(`expected [ { … } ] to have a length of +0 but got 1`).
- Green after the gate:
- The Retry is held (`deferred_issue_execution`, `executionWait.reason =
local_cleanup`), and no successor is dispatched.
  - A different task is not blocked.
- When the close settles, the release is announced, and the next pass
dispatches exactly one successor.
- The whole `quarantined-task-retry.test.ts` file passes (28 tests).
`src/native-session-runtime.test.ts` passes. Server `tsc --noEmit`
passes after the runner package build.
- Live chaos replays: results are added in a comment.

## Risks

- The gate reads process memory, so it applies only where the server and
the runner session share a process (local runner). Other deployments
keep today's behavior.
- A held Retry re-evaluates on the release wake (sent in its own
transaction) or on the existing 30 s deferred-execution pass. When the
bounded automatic close budget is spent with nothing else scheduled, the
view reports `operator_required`. Retry is then no longer offered, and a
new message reaches the stopped-process recovery instead of waiting
forever.
- No schema or API shape changes.

DottaandPaperclip 124b2cd0ad fix(server): certify background deadlines for idle tenants (#19001)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Background services own future checks, retries, and recovery work.
> - An idle tenant can stop only when a durable wake covers its
remaining duties.
> - The current alarm catalog covers several domains but leaves these
owners blocked.
> - A saved future timestamp alone cannot prove that reconstruction or
admitted work has settled.
> - This pull request binds durable domain snapshots to the actual
registered worker revisions.
> - The tenant can hand off supported future duties and retain all
checks for uncertain or active work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No matching public issue was found. Related work: [domain deadline
handoff #18656](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18656),
[owned blocker diagnostics
#18632](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18632), and
[completed history proof
#18646](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18646). The
separate [native idle-session change
#18988](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18988) covers
runtime retirement. [Far-future retry re-probes
#13534](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13534) changes
recovery responsiveness after an upstream success; this change preserves
existing retry decisions.

**What happened?**

Future status-card, external-object, skill-sync, watchdog, retry, and
quota duties lacked complete owner-bound coverage in the idle deadline
proof. A completed quota task could also retain its monitor policy and
timestamp and remain blocked after the scheduler had disarmed it.

**Expected behavior**

A settled registered owner can hand off its exact supported future
deadline. Active work, dirty reconstruction, transaction uncertainty,
changed revisions, claims, unknown state, and unsupported duties keep
the tenant awake. Completed history retains its data and stops recurring
work when the owner has no remaining duty.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Produce a supported future duty through its normal service.
2. Let the registered worker finish reconstruction and admitted work.
3. Request an owned idle report with the negotiated domain deadline
catalog.
4. Check the saved earliest deadline and generation before durable alarm
registration.
5. Stop and reconstruct the worker. Check that ordinary admission and
claims resume useful work once due.
6. Complete a quota task. Keep its saved policy and timestamp. Check
that linked unfinished work still blocks sleep and that settled history
does not.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The owned patch was qualified at
`699c8569fa34338dd75cdc5731381ec1e2efdb45`. Publication head
`491fac368ee72eaac8ae105d53e6bf6b305d8a6a` normally merges actual master
`039e0dad2c51c80251e1302a19c5566e039c357a`. All 43 owned files are
byte-identical. All 29 new upstream paths are preserved. The later
normal current-master integration is
`8c912e1ba4fc66397a7341ade59373af8075068f`, described separately below.

**Deployment mode**

Source checkout with real PostgreSQL 17 and a controlled local Node
process. No deployed alarm, tenant suspension, database suspension, or
fleet result is claimed.

## What Changed

- Add registered-worker reconciliation revisions and invalidate them on
stop.
- Keep status-card, external-object, and skill deadline interpretation
with their owners.
- Reuse the watchdog classifier against the supplied database snapshot.
- Validate the exact saved retry run and paired queued wake.
- Validate legacy quota source bindings and the current assignee or
reviewer policy.
- Preserve common issue scope, dependency, sibling, and state checks for
covered waits.
- Compose normalized owner snapshots within the existing bounded
deadline proof and recheck revisions after inspection.
- Bind actual service and worker instances from server startup. Missing
bindings preserve existing blockers.
- Retain completed quota policy and timestamps while independently
rejecting linked unfinished runs or wakes.
- Block unconsumed budget evaluation inputs through the owning queue
predicate. Accounting policy and settlement stay unchanged.
- Bind completed quota history through fixed-size UUID-array parameters,
preserve exact company/task/source associations, and guard external
references before the run-ID join.
- Batch watchdog subtrees and shared classifier facts without changing
the 64-query or two-second proof budget; preserve exact company pairing
for first-run evidence.
- Extend production-path regression controls and document supported
coverage and limits.

## Verification

Current integration head: `688abc6cac6016b9fb50e5832f81e2975ed5d49f`.
Fresh exact-head checks completed with **58 successes, three intentional
skips and one neutral review**, including aggregate `ci / verify`. The
complete current Greptile review is **5/5**. The complete current
Ponytail verdict is **Ship (4/5)**, with only optional cleanup of an
unused MCP proof input; both prior correctness findings are resolved.
All review threads and nested pages were inspected. The normal master
merges preserve the registered retry deadline owner and current startup
completion log after the same readiness await. The earlier focused
evidence below remains tied to its tested source revisions.


Current-master integration `8c912e1ba4fc66397a7341ade59373af8075068f`:

- Normally merge actual master
`46fb933b0155d183ce64a8bdc4950d1b58c926f6`. Every nonoverlapping tree
blob retains its owning parent across 14,044 paths. All 42 owner-only
files and 15 critical binding/proof/readiness files remain
byte-identical. Three automatic overlaps preserve the existing watchdog
binding, conservative unavailable-reader fallback and optional actual
owner arguments. The two scoped-deadline conflicts retain the entire
upstream resource-reservation/mid-pass admission/abort algorithm inside
the existing reconciliation revision/running/failure fence, with both
parent test sets.
- Actual TypeScript 7.0.2 server noEmit passed in 9.434 seconds, normal
source declaration layers in 12.102 seconds, and four selected
test/helper/config layers extending the actual CI configuration in 3.167
seconds. No compiler option weakening, heap override, donor declarations
or SDK replacement stub.
- Focused PG0 controls passed: 102 scheduler/proof/owner controls in
16.451 seconds, including all 21 scoped-deadline cases; 121 startup
controls; and all 107 unchanged instance-settings route cases in 6.456
seconds. The latter first hit a local prewire-guard
listener-registration race. Only the ignored guard was corrected to
register the same actual OS-bound server port immediately after native
listen returns. Closed, unknown, foreign, offhost and PG destinations
remain blocked. Original failure evidence is retained; product code and
assertions were unchanged.
- The exact current UI policy command now reports zero findings (0.362
seconds); its seven scanner controls pass. The earlier dependent PR used
an old scanner/source baseline under a newly enforcing trusted workflow
and reported 397 findings. Carrying the genuine current master resolves
that mismatch without editing unrelated UI sites or relaxing the gate.
- Every meaningful worker checked its executing PID/thread/preload hash
and matching receipt. PG0 controls opened no PostgreSQL sockets; all
owned processes exited. Original dependency-cache/DNS, ignored-harness
syntax/type and guard failures remain separate from product results.
- This is fresh semantic and focused runtime qualification, not a local
whole-repository or current-head PostgreSQL acceptance rerun. The
upstream workspace-busy parked-retry/terminal-holder notification path
remains unchanged by this merge and needs its separate current-graph
producer check. Historical six-case/scale results below stay tied to
their measured sources. A matching controlled default-cadence follow-up
is in #19191; no fresh current-head two-cycle or deployed suspension
claim follows from this merge.
- All 59 exact-head check contexts now pass (55 success, one neutral,
three intentional skips), plus the legacy security status. The complete
edited Greptile review is 5/5 for this exact commit, with all
root/nested pages inspected and no unresolved threads. Ponytail stopped
without completing its new turn; it supplied no new verdict or finding.
Prior actual findings remain addressed. Earlier scores/checks below
belong to their explicit earlier commits.


On frozen clean merged source `699c8569fa`:

- Real PostgreSQL acceptance: **6/6 passed**,83.483 seconds wall. Actual
retry producer creates the exact saved run/wake; stopped and
reconstructed owner resumes through current admission, one durable
start, real local process output and normal task completion. Includes
cancellation, drain arrival, retained quota history with queued-run/wake
negatives, watchdog review settlement and budget-input
empty/pending/consumed control using the actual owner.
- Affected coordinator, deadline, scoped-deadline, recovery and
composed-proof controls: **78/78 in five files passed**,32.114 seconds
wall, worker 1/no file parallelism.
- `pnpm exec tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json`: **passed**,17.467
seconds. Native TypeScript 7.0.2 and Node 24.22.2.
- PostgreSQL tests use one dedicated test database, matching
fixture/admin URLs, pool limit four, one worker, and no embedded
fallback. Every run recorded unchanged source hashes and a clean
checkout.
- The eight-second real-clock retry is a domain execution check. It is
below the Cloud minimum wake lead and is not a positive accepted hosted
sleep cycle.
- The completed quota-history product failure and original
fixture/protocol failures were preserved; the owning-reader fix passed a
real PostgreSQL red/green regression before the fresh merged six-case
pass.
- After runtime completion, the dedicated database had zero other
clients and no owned runtime processes. All three qualification process
PIDs exited. The coordinator independently audits and drops the
database.
- Comment-only cleanup has equal strict TypeScript parser ASTs across 15
files. The final lexical audit finds no added comments relative to
actual master. `git diff --check` passed.
- Earlier retry fixtures omitted responsible-user membership, advanced
JavaScript time past the real PostgreSQL lease clock, or produced stdout
without normal task completion. Corrected fixtures use real membership,
an eight-second real deadline, and ordinary task comment/completion. The
last case exposed legitimate disposition repair rather than duplicate
retry promotion.
- The quota and watchdog controls first ran before admitted work or the
existing 30-second reconstruction duty settled. The stronger tests
require an interim blocked report and then exact settled-owner proof.
Production deadlines were not changed. The separate
completed-quota-history defect was fixed in its reader and verified with
linked unfinished-run and wake controls.
- The status/object and skill owners reviewed the actual final startup,
route and post-backup bindings. Their domain source evidence carries
where token-equivalent. The master coordinator coalescing change was
reviewed separately. Historical domain PostgreSQL results are not
presented as fresh full-suite results on this head.

The later master merge adds retry predecessor cleanup checks under the
existing issue claim lock. The source audit confirms unchanged saved
deadlines and run/wake identities. The three actual retry
lifecycle/cancellation/drain cases passed on the batched candidate with
this parent (31.817 seconds). Those local dependency controls preceded
the current exact-head remote run. Native backup preservation and
TestOps changes from master are retained. No pass is inferred for
changed dependency behavior solely from unchanged owned files.

Review repair published as `643f1e7400`:

- The original reader returned `unknown` after seven actual watchdog
reviews settled across seven companies. The unchanged composed-report
regression passed after batching; the final reader passed in 61.841
seconds, including active queued-work and stopped-owner rejection.
- A separate two-company red/green control rejects terminal-run context
from another company as first-run grace evidence. Shared facts are
serialized once, with per-root IDs and review summaries.
- The affected recovery, proof and diagnostic unit controls passed 47/47
(14.575 seconds). Startup owner-contract fixtures passed 121/121 (10.589
seconds).
- Diagnostic PostgreSQL controls passed7/7 (12.406 seconds), including
the normal budget-input producer and its exact blocker reason. Initial
empty-state setup uses the same cleanup as per-case teardown when a
dedicated test database is reused.
- Actual repository `pnpm exec tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json`
passed 12.710 seconds with no heap override. Final source has no added
code comments; whitespace checks pass.
- The original query-budget failure, two-company discriminator, initial
cross-suite fixture failure and an interrupted incorrect local-driver
selector are retained separately. The interrupted run is not a pass.
Independent cleanup found zero owned clients or runtime processes.

Quota-scale repair published as `6696a37f8a`:

- The exact 10,000-row completed-history case reproduced
`MAX_PARAMETERS_EXCEEDED`:90,002 bound parameters exceeded the driver's
65,534 limit, and the composed report returned `unknown` despite settled
owners. Original failure and actual driver diagnostics are retained.
- Fixed pending-work queries use three typed UUID-array parameters plus
the result limit, keeping exact company/issue/source tuple bindings. The
primary run-ID column stays uncast; a guarded CASE validates the raw
external reference before conversion. The 10,000-row cap and
64-query/two-second proof budget are unchanged.
- The same 10,000-row composed-report case passed 18.860 seconds, with
unfinished run/wake rejection, malformed-reference safety and
conservative 10,001-row overflow. Its fixture derives retained history
from the actual quota producer and normal task completion, expands valid
persisted issue/source pairs, then starts the actual registered owners.
- The existing actual quota producer case passed 14.187 seconds,
including exact future deadline, retained completion history, unfinished
work, real foreign-company source references and noncanonical/malformed
references.
- Affected owner/proof controls passed 22/22 (26.444 seconds).
Production server noEmit passed 16.039 seconds.
- CI on 643 identified TS7034/TS7005 in the settled-watchdog fixture's
initially untyped collection. It is now explicitly typed. A separate
affected-entry semantic check extending the repository's actual
`server/src/__tests__/tsconfig.json` passed 15.093 seconds: six affected
tests, two owner files, ambient declarations and current imported
source, with unchanged strict/module/lib/path settings. The production
server config excludes that test directory and is not presented as
test-layer proof. No custom suppression or replacement SDK stub was
added.
- All runs were sequential with pool max 4, worker 1,
source/config/command hashes and cleared inherited
provider/LIVE/other-database variables. Cleanup found zero owned
database clients or local runtime processes. At prior head
`6696a37f8a5718cd0f79054969a0084462d41d47`, all required CI gates pass.
The exact-head inventory has 55 successes, one neutral review and three
intentional skips. Greptile is 5/5. The complete latest Ponytail verdict
confirms the quota finding is fixed; its only remaining note is optional
unused MCP proof state, not a behavior defect. All three review threads
are resolved. The earlier 643 result remains historical.

The repository-wide typecheck, tests, build and browser gates passed in
the prior `6696a37f8a5718cd0f79054969a0084462d41d47` CI run. The new
`8c912e1ba4fc66397a7341ade59373af8075068f` full CI also passes. They
were not run as a full local workspace command in the focused PostgreSQL
lease. Local evidence above uses bounded external databases and does not
claim embedded-cluster, live-provider or deployed-alarm qualification.

## Risks

- An unsupported or uncertain owner state must remain blocked. An
optimistic exemption could lose work while compute is stopped.
- Changes during reconstruction or inspection must invalidate the proof.
A memory-only timer is not durable alarm coverage.
- Current authorization, budgets, cancellation, accounting, and resource
ownership still apply on dispatch. The proof does not grant execution
authority.
- The supported writer model uses in-process transaction signals and
startup/resume reconstruction. Independent SQL writers and other
replicas need an explicit wake contract.
- Native, review, coalesced, and taskless retry variants remain
conservative until their owner cases qualify. Reviewer quota and hosted
alarm qualification remain open.
- The shared catalog remains opt-in. Legacy callers and missing owner
bindings retain their old blockers.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` was the configured model for the delegated service
implementations and reviews. OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, performed
managing review and integration. Both used repository tools and code
execution. The exact served backend snapshots and context-window limits

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 1206373a95 fix(environments): close Apex findings on managed plugin environments (#19526)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A managed instance gets its instance-level environments from the
`PAPERCLIP_MANAGED_CONFIG` document, and #19508 added plugin environment
entries to it
> - Greptile's Apex review of #19508 arrived after it merged, with three
findings
> - A credential inside an array nested in an array passed the secret
check and the response redaction
> - Recovery of an archived environment listened on one worker handle,
which a restart replaces, and its attempts were not tracked through idle
checks and shutdown
> - This pull request closes all three findings
> - The benefit is that credentials never pass the check, an environment
comes back after any worker restart, and shutdown never cuts off a
recovery write

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19508 (the Apex findings this pull request fixes)

**Subsystem affected**
Server environments: the managed-config parser, the environment routes'
response floor, the managed environment bootstrap, and the plugin worker
manager.

**Problem or motivation**
Greptile's Apex review of #19508 found three problems. (1)
`findSecretLikeConfigKey` and `redactSecretLikeConfigKeys` skip array
elements that are arrays, so `{"groups":[[{"apiToken":"..."}]]}` passes
the boot check and is echoed to restricted readers. (2) Recovery
subscribes to `ready` on one worker handle. A restart such as a settings
save replaces that handle, so the new worker's `ready` never reaches the
listener, and the environment stays archived. (3) A recovery attempt is
fire-and-forget. The worker manager's work token ends when the worker
replies, but the database write continues, so an idle check or the
database shutdown can overlap it.

**Proposed solution**
Walk arrays at any depth in both functions. Add a manager-wide
`onWorkerReady` subscription and use it for recovery. Run every recovery
attempt through a controller that tracks it as idle work and that
shutdown stops and awaits before the database closes.

**Alternatives considered**
Re-subscribing on each new handle after a restart. That needs a hook in
every restart path. The manager-wide subscription covers all of them in
one place.

**Roadmap alignment**
This only fixes code that #19508 added or touched. It adds no product
surface.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/managed-config.ts`: `findSecretLikeConfigKey`
walks arrays at any depth (new `findSecretLikeConfigKeyInValue`). This
covers sandbox `config` and plugin `driverConfig`.
- `server/src/routes/environments.ts`: `redactSecretLikeConfigKeys`
walks arrays at any depth (new `redactSecretLikeConfigValue`).
- `server/src/services/plugin-worker-manager.ts`: new optional
`onWorkerReady(listener)` on `PluginWorkerManager`. It fires on every
worker `ready`, including a replacement handle from a restart. A
listener error is logged and does not affect the worker.
- `server/src/services/managed-environments.ts`:
- Sandbox and plugin recovery subscribe through `subscribeWorkerReady`.
It prefers `onWorkerReady` and falls back to the handle when the manager
has no such method.
- New `createManagedEnvironmentRecovery()` controller. Each attempt runs
inside `trackIdleWork` for its whole duration. `stop()` removes every
`ready` subscription, refuses new attempts, and awaits unfinished ones.
- `server/src/index.ts`: creates the controller, passes it to
`applyManagedEnvironments`, and awaits `stop()` during shutdown, after
the delivery workers stop and before the application teardown and
database close.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run src/__tests__/managed-config.test.ts`: a
secret-like key in an array nested in an array refuses boot, for plugin
`driverConfig` and sandbox `config`.
- `npx vitest run src/__tests__/environment-routes.test.ts`: a
nested-array credential is removed from the response, and other nested
values stay.
- `npx vitest run
src/services/managed-environments-plugin-entries.test.ts`:
- With `onWorkerReady`, recovery never consults the handle. It ignores
another plugin's `ready`, re-ensures on this plugin's `ready`, and then
unsubscribes.
- An attempt counts in `idleWorkSnapshot()` until its ensure settles.
`stop()` unsubscribes, waits for the unfinished attempt, and later
`ready` events start nothing.
- `npx vitest run src/services/managed-environments.test.ts
src/__tests__/managed-plugin-environments.test.ts`: pass.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` passes.
- I did not run the full `pnpm test:run`, `pnpm -r typecheck` or `pnpm
build`. CI covers them.

## Risks

- The redaction now also walks nested arrays in sandbox config
responses. Only credential-shaped keys are removed; other values are
unchanged.
- The boot check now refuses a document that hides a secret-like key in
a nested array. A valid document has no such key.
- `onWorkerReady` is optional, so other `PluginWorkerManager`
implementations and test fakes keep working.
- Shutdown now waits for an unfinished recovery attempt. An attempt is
one worker call plus one short transaction.

DottaandPaperclip e3fb4bc73a fix(native): recover saved listener startup failures (#19479)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Native recovery must preserve saved work and respect current task
authority.
> - A closed local API listener can stop startup before a provider
starts.
> - #19462 gives new failures a bounded bootstrap retry.
> - Older saved failures still have a generic terminal code and a
recovery hold.
> - This pull request verifies the old producer outcome and uses the
existing safe replacement path.
> - Eligible tasks continue once. Unknown provider outcomes and user
holds remain blocked.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #19462

**What happened?**

A restart can leave an old listener startup failure in
`terminal_failure` with `native_session_interrupted`. Startup recovery
does not claim it after #19462. A completed file recovery can also
retain its no-replay hold.

**Expected behavior**

Continue automatically when durable records prove that no provider
started, the source stopped, and the current files were saved. Keep the
existing attempt budget and normal admission checks.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Close the actual API listener after a fresh native coordinator claim.
2. Persist the old executor's generic failure. Save the workspace and
confirm source termination.
3. Restart recovery. The baseline schedules no successor. The repair
schedules one successor after all receipts pass.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Baseline: `0252421d5c`. Old failure producer: `2f35eb1080`.

**Deployment mode**

Built from source. Local macOS arm64, Node 26.4.0, real embedded
PostgreSQL, independent filesystem execution. No external AI service is
used by the controlled acceptance.

## What Changed

- Recognize the exact saved local-listener guard through one proof
predicate shared by discovery and the locked transaction.
- Require a fresh first attempt, matching execution bindings, no prior
provider lineage, no provider events or tool calls, no checkpoint or
admission receipt, and no cancellation.
- Reuse current snapshot, exact stop, source block, attempt budget, and
successor idempotency checks.
- Wait for completed source file-recovery receipts. Retire only that
same source's verified preservation hold in the successor transaction.
- Bound discovery to 100 candidates per pass, keep completed history
quiet, and wake through existing transactional producer notifications.
- Retain retries after transient database and final ownership-proof
errors; advance the bounded cursor and force a rescan so a failing page
cannot hide later work.
- Let only the replacement duty discharge a proved-empty notification
during drain through its existing read-only readiness check, once per
notification generation. Keep real work and concurrent changes
outstanding without running replacement during drain.
- Wake replacement at canonical local-stop proof writes and the existing
dispatch eligibility boundary; these hints grant no new execution
authority.
- Add database regressions, scheduler quietness checks, real controller
handoff coverage, and an opt-in controlled Runner continuation.

## Verification

Final production head: `0df41b2fef2644195d1224d36984af3827da3e3b`.

Local environment: macOS arm64, Node 26.4.0, TypeScript 7.0.2, Vitest
5.0.3, frozen-lockfile dependencies. Tests execute freshly;
`--fsModuleCache` reuses only content-validated module transforms.

- Native safe replacement: 62/62 PASS on isolated PostgreSQL 17 (63.18
seconds), including clean per-suite database disposal. All 62 assertions
also passed on embedded PostgreSQL 18 beta, but its Darwin cleanup hook
timed out; that invocation is not counted as a pass. Docker's disk was
full, so the disposable PostgreSQL 17 data used a size-limited RAM
mount, with no host mounts. The owned container was removed afterward.
- Actual stopped-process producer suite: 31/31 PASS. A real exited child
produces the stop receipt, and its replacement notification settles only
after the outer transaction commits.
- Workspace and separate-process drain regressions: 33/33 PASS (75.90
seconds).
- Shared coordinator and execution-control lifecycle checks: 39/39 PASS
(16.43 seconds). Pending work, concurrent changes, cold startup,
shutdown, and passive drain boundaries remain covered.
- Actual suppressed Cloud routine/drain workflow: PASS (34.64 seconds),
using the unchanged test and timeouts. Its matching local RED reproduced
CI's 462-query, zero-pending-query, one-idle-hold timeout after an
admitted write committed during drain (69.46 seconds).
- Actual historical controller handoff: PASS (48.40 seconds). A separate
controller loads the original executor from `2f35eb1080`, writes its
generic listener failure, and exits. Recovery at the final head admits
exactly one successor. The real Rust Runner and controlled Codex process
complete governed `paperclip_finish`; attempt two commits and the saved
file remains intact. Only the child loads the old artifact, and both
isolated artifacts are restored afterward. Rust source subtree
`77961b70f177ec3c38d11abcaec92fd3d0e96ec0` matches the built binary. No
external AI service is used.
- Seven corrected existing fixtures pass: transactional stop-proof calls
(5 cases) and notification inventory (2 cases). Their earlier CI
failures exposed fixture calls outside the documented transaction and an
outdated expected queue set.
- Server typecheck: PASS.

Red/green proofs also cover the original saved failure on baseline
`0252421d5c` (zero successors instead of one), held-history quietness,
bounded forward scanning through 100 parked rows and concurrent wakes,
real snapshot/cleanup producer notifications, actual issue-row lock
timeout, and task/history eligibility notifications. An obsolete
prior-run question can be skipped to request another proof check; actual
skip while the task is paused or the source owns provider tool activity
schedules no successor.

The failed-page regression starts with 25 persistent verifier errors and
a healthy candidate 26. Baseline RED repeats the first page. Repair
GREEN advances the healthy candidate, revisits the original failures
after their fault clears, creates all 26 successors exactly once, and
becomes quiet.

Greptile is SUCCESS, 5/5 on the exact final head (2026-11-06 17:09:21
UTC). Final-head CI is GREEN: 56 successful checks, three intentional
skips, one neutral result, and no pending or failing checks. [Attempt
two and
results](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42258352876/attempts/2)
include passing build, typecheck, Rust, native server, package, browser
E2E, serialized server, general server/chat tests, and final
verification. Five jobs in the first attempt were interrupted together
at 17:13:12 UTC; the native-server log records an explicit runner
shutdown signal. The single infrastructure retry reran only those five
jobs and dependent verification, preserving the 49 successful checks on
the unchanged head. No timeout was weakened, and setup failures or
interrupted invocations are not counted as passes.

Focused commands from the repository root:

```sh
./server/node_modules/.bin/vitest run --project @paperclipai/server server/src/services/remote-workspaces.integration.test.ts server/src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-restart-preparation.integration.test.ts -t 'native safe-replacement decision|reconciles the drained remote backend' --fsModuleCache --reporter=dot
./server/node_modules/.bin/vitest run --project @paperclipai/server server/src/__tests__/execution-control-work.test.ts server/src/__tests__/delivery-work-coordinator.test.ts -t 'execution-control lifecycle|work coordinator' --fsModuleCache --reporter=dot
node node_modules/typescript/bin/tsc -p server/tsconfig.json --noEmit --pretty false
```

The historical acceptance sets `PAPERCLIP_TEST_HISTORICAL_LISTENER=1`
and uses an original-executor child artifact with a `try/finally`
restore. Normal regressions require no Rust binary.

## Risks

- Compatibility is deliberately limited to positively proved fresh
remote startup failures. Other old ambiguous failures remain held.
- Existing provider work, a changed task block, incomplete preservation,
or revoked authority must prevent execution. Normal retry admission
remains in control.
- This PR does not deploy the change or mutate a hosted task. Hosted
recovery still requires the repaired revision and all current proof
gates.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, tool use, and code
execution. The exact backend model identifier and context window are not
exposed in this session.

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 98ebeefbc9 feat(environments): let managed config declare plugin environments (#19508)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A managed instance gets its instance-level environments from the
`PAPERCLIP_MANAGED_CONFIG` document
> - #19490 added the plugin environment rows, their marker index and
write floor, but nothing creates them yet
> - The managed config still accepts only one sandbox entry, so a
managed instance cannot get a plugin-provided environment without manual
setup
> - This pull request lets the managed config declare plugin entries
beside the sandbox entry, and provisions one locked row for each at boot
> - The benefit is that a managed instance gets its plugin environments
with no manual setup, and the rows recover by themselves when their
plugin restarts

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19490 (the plugin environment rows this pull request provisions)

**Subsystem affected**
Server environments: the managed-config parser, the managed environment
bootstrap, and the environment routes' write floor.

**Problem or motivation**
A managed instance cannot get a plugin environment from its managed
config. The `environments` section accepts one entry, and that entry
always provisions the managed sandbox. Company settings cannot create a
plugin environment either. So each managed instance that needs one
requires manual setup.

**Proposed solution**
Let an `environments` entry declare `driver: "plugin"`. Boot provisions
one locked row for each plugin entry through the row layer from #19490.
A later pull request adds a one-time instance default for one plugin
entry, and advertises the new managed-config capability.

**Alternatives considered**
Manual setup on each instance, and a new control-plane endpoint. Both
need a step outside the deploy. The managed config already delivers the
sandbox entry.

**Roadmap alignment**
This extends the existing managed-config `environments` section, which
already provisions the managed sandbox. It adds no new product surface.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/managed-config.ts`: an `environments` entry may
set `driver` to `"sandbox"` or `"plugin"`. An entry without `driver` is
still the sandbox entry, so today's documents parse unchanged.
- A plugin entry has `name`, optional `description`, `pluginKey` (the
plugin's manifest id), `driverKey` and optional `driverConfig`.
- At most one sandbox entry. Names are unique across the section, and
`pluginKey`–`driverKey` pairs are unique. Secret-like keys in
`driverConfig` refuse startup, as for sandbox `config`. An unknown key
or driver still refuses startup, and that includes `instanceDefault`
until the follow-up pull request.
- Plugin entries parse into a new `pluginEnvironments` list. The
`environments` list keeps only the sandbox entry, so its consumers do
not change.
  - `MANAGED_ENVIRONMENT_DRIVERS` lists the accepted drivers.
- `server/src/services/managed-environments.ts`
(`applyManagedEnvironments`):
- Boot refuses to start unless an auto-installed catalog entry installs
each plugin entry's `pluginKey`. `plugins.autoInstall` holds catalog
keys, not manifest ids, so the parser cannot check this. Boot uses the
manifest ids `createApp` already resolves from the bundled and
distribution catalogs (`app.locals.managedBundledPluginKeys`, passed in
by `server/src/index.ts`). Without that list it resolves the catalog
itself.
- Plugin entries run after the sandbox entry and reuse its readiness
handling. Boot awaits `pluginsReady`, then requires the plugin `ready`,
declaring the entry's driver, and running a worker. Otherwise boot
archives the row and re-ensures it on the worker's `ready`.
- Recovery re-ensures on every worker `ready` until one ensure succeeds
or the plugin rejects the config (HTTP 422).
- If the ensure fails because the worker died, boot archives the row and
waits for `ready`. If the worker is still running (for example the call
timed out), boot keeps the row as it is, retries once at once and on the
next `ready`, and otherwise at the next boot. No timer is added.
  - Removing an entry never archives its row.
- A plugin-only document does not conflict with
`PAPERCLIP_EXECUTION_MODE`, because plugin rows do not use the sandbox
slot.
- Plugin entries never change the instance default. The sandbox stamp
still fills only an unset or local default, so it never replaces a
plugin default.
- `server/src/routes/environments.ts`: `isPlatformSlotEnvironment`
treats a marked plugin row as a live slot while the document declares
its entry. So the marker-clear escape hatch is refused then, and allowed
again after the entry leaves the document.
- `doc/DEVELOPING.md`: new "Managed environments" section.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run src/__tests__/managed-config.test.ts`:
old documents parse unchanged. Sandbox plus plugin parses. Each of these
refuses startup: two sandbox entries, `driver: null`, duplicate names, a
duplicate pair, a secret-like key, an unknown key (including
`instanceDefault`), an unknown driver, a malformed `driverKey` or
`driverConfig`.
- `npx vitest run
src/services/managed-environments-plugin-entries.test.ts` (the
sandbox-entry tests stay in `managed-environments.test.ts`; shared
fixtures are in `managed-environments.test-support.ts`):
- A plugin entry is ensured with the validator's worker manager, after
the sandbox entry.
- Boot refuses a plugin entry whose `pluginKey` no auto-installed
catalog entry installs, both from the passed list and from its own
catalog lookup.
- A plugin that is down archives the row, and worker recovery re-ensures
it. A missing plugin, a plugin without the driver, or a worker manager
without `call` counts as unavailable.
- Recovery stays armed after a failed attempt and stops after one
success or a permanent config rejection (422). A `ready` during an
attempt queues one more.
- A worker that dies during the boot ensure archives the row and arms
recovery. A failure while the worker keeps running leaves the row as it
is and retries.
- Removing an entry does not archive. Plugin entries and the sandbox
stamp never change a plugin default.
  - An ensure failure is counted, not thrown.
- `npx vitest run src/__tests__/managed-plugin-environments.test.ts`
(embedded Postgres, real `applyManagedEnvironments`): the first boot
creates the row and the second changes nothing. A plugin that is down
archives the row, and recovery brings it back. Removing the entry does
not archive the row. The instance default stays unset. The row tests
from #19490 still pass.
- `npx vitest run src/__tests__/environment-routes.test.ts`: the marker
clear is refused while the document declares the entry, and allowed
after it leaves.
- `npx vitest run src/__tests__/instance-settings-service.test.ts
src/__tests__/instance-settings-cloud-defaults.test.ts`: pass with the
new `pluginEnvironments` field.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` passes.
- I did not run the full `pnpm test:run`, `pnpm -r typecheck` or `pnpm
build`. CI covers them.

## Risks

- No schema change.
- A managed-config document with a plugin entry now provisions a row at
boot. A document without one behaves as before.
- Adoption renames an unmarked row for the same plugin and driver to the
declared name and resets its driver config to the declared one. The row
keeps its id, agents and other metadata, and it is then locked like the
managed sandbox.
- Boot now refuses to start when a plugin entry names a plugin that no
auto-installed catalog entry provides. This is the same fail-closed
posture as an unknown sandbox provider.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 8c578668b8 fix(heartbeat): start new queued runs promptly after restart and name the wait (#19431)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The heartbeat queue starts queued agent turns. Restarts and deploys
happen often.
> - After a restart, new queued turns waited minutes before they
started. The task showed only "Queued", with no reason.
> - The cause is startup order. The queued-run dispatch worker registers
only after many unrelated first passes finish one after another: tool
reviews, delivery workers, the terminal workspace sweep, native restart
recovery, and residual and issue recovery.
> - The server binds its listener before this recovery, and
`/api/health` answers during it. A deployment can route traffic to the
new server for minutes before queued work starts.
> - This pull request starts queued turns that never executed as soon as
plugin workers and adapters are loaded. It also names the wait while the
server starts, recovers, or shuts down.
> - The benefit is that tasks resume quickly after a restart and show a
visible reason while they wait.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
On a hosted instance, the server restarted twice for deploys. Both
times, queued runs on idle agents started about 3.5 to 4 minutes after
the restart. Before the restart, the runs also waited about 5 minutes
while the deploy drained the old server. During the wait after the
restart, the execution presentation showed `phase: queued`, `label:
"Queued"`, `cause: null`.

**Expected behavior**
Queued work resumes automatically and quickly after a restart. While it
waits, the task shows a reason.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a task drain (`POST /api/instance/task-drain`). Assign issues
to idle agents. The runs stay queued.
2. Stop the server (SIGTERM) and start it again.
3. Make any startup first pass slow (a large instance does this
naturally). Queued runs start only after every earlier startup pass
finishes.

**Paperclip version or commit**
master at 7e3caa7bac.

**Deployment mode**
Hosted Railway deployment with fleet deploy drain. Reproduced locally
with embedded PostgreSQL and an injected 20-second startup step.

## What Changed

- `heartbeat/queue.ts`: add `resumeFreshQueuedRunsAtStartup`. It starts
queued runs on agents with no run left `running` and no queued retry or
continuation (`started_at`, `retry_of_run_id`,
`process_loss_retry_count`, `continuation_attempt`). Every run still
passes the ordinary per-agent claim and dispatch gates, and scheduling
suppression (including the task drain) still applies.
- `heartbeat.ts`: expose it. Count it as a pending wake, like
`resumeQueuedRunsAfterDrain`, so drain status and upgrade readiness see
it.
- `index.ts`: run that pass at startup after plugin workers and external
adapters load. It does not wait for the unrelated startup first passes.
It skips while a drain, warm standby, or shutdown is active. Log when it
completes and when the full queued-run pass completes, with process
uptime, so a hosted restart shows both timings.
- `execution-projection.ts`: while the server is `starting`,
`recovering`, or `draining` (shutdown), a queued run shows **Waiting for
server restart** (cause `server_restarting`) with a next action. A task
drain keeps its **Waiting for maintenance** reason.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: describe the startup fast path and the
new presentation.
- The full queued-run pass, its position after native restart recovery,
and the drain behavior are unchanged.

## Verification

- Red, then green, local restart with a 20-second injected startup step
(embedded PostgreSQL, three process agents, runs queued under a task
drain, SIGTERM, restart):
- Before: the listener bound at 09:41:50.6. Runs started at 09:42:10.8,
20.2 s later, after the slow step ended.
- After: runs started 0.2 to 0.3 s after the listener bound, while the
slow step still ran. Each original run executed once.
- During the before run, `GET /api/issues/:id/execution` showed `Waiting
for server restart` / `server_restarting` until dispatch.
- Red, then green: `execution-projection.test.ts` restart-phase cases
failed on the old code (`label: "Queued"`, `cause: null`) and pass now.
- New `heartbeat-startup-fresh-dispatch.test.ts` (real PostgreSQL): a
fresh run starts; an agent with a `running` row from the previous
process and an agent with a queued retry stay queued; nothing starts
while a task drain is active.
- `npx vitest run` for the new test, `heartbeat-task-drain*.test.ts`,
`execution-projection*.test.ts`, `startup-recovery-timing.test.ts`,
`heartbeat/queue.test.ts`, `liveness.test.ts`: 132 passed.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json` passed.

## Risks

- New queued runs can start before native restart recovery finishes. The
fast path excludes any agent with a `running` row or a queued retry or
continuation, and the claim checks still enforce issue ownership,
predecessor cleanup, budgets, pauses, and concurrency. A new wakeup
during startup already starts runs at this point, so this adds no new
class of early execution.
- The drain is unchanged. It still holds new runs while the deploy waits
for in-flight runs (the Cloud wait budget is at most 5 minutes). This PR
does not change Cloud.
- The new label depends on the process-local startup phase. It shows
only on the process that is restarting.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 5c185db77c fix(tree-control): resume work a subtree pause interrupted (#19394)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Task tree control lets the board pause a task tree and then resume
it.
> - A pause stops the runs that are active in the tree. The release must
then continue the work that was pending.
> - A child task whose run was active at pause time did not start again
after release. The child became blocked and asked for a user message.
> - A pause is an operator hold, not a failure. It must not strand work,
and it must not require reconciliation for a run that never started.
> - This pull request re-dispatches interrupted work one time on
release, and it settles a legacy Stop that never entered the adapter.
> - The benefit is that pause and resume keep a task tree moving without
manual recovery, and real safety gates stay in force.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A parent task delegated two children. One child's run was active (in
host workspace preparation, before the adapter started) when the board
paused the parent's tree. The pause cancelled that run. After the board
released the hold, no new run started for that child. The child became
`blocked` with the execution blocker cause
`legacy_execution_requires_reconciliation`. Later the next action became
"Send a message to continue." A sibling child that had no active run at
pause time resumed normally.

**Expected behavior**

A run that a subtree pause cancels is an operator hold. On release, the
pending work starts again one time, automatically. It does not go
through execution reconciliation when the run never entered its adapter.
It does not wait for a user message.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a parent task and a child task that is assigned to an agent.
2. Wake the child. While its run is in host preparation (or queued),
call `POST /api/issues/:parentId/tree-holds` with `{ "mode": "pause" }`.
3. Call `POST /api/issues/:parentId/tree-holds/:holdId/release` without
`wakeAgents`.
4. Before this change, no new run starts, and `getExecutionBlocker`
reports `legacy_execution_requires_reconciliation` for the child.

**Root cause**

- (a) The pause records each interrupted run in the hold member snapshot
(`activeRunId`). Nothing used that record on release.
- (b) Release woke tasks only when `metadata.wakeAgents === true`.
Without it, release relied on stranded-issue recovery. That recovery
stands down when the latest run was cancelled by an operator
(`isOperatorCancelledRun`). So the interrupted child had no owner.
- (c) The pause Stop of a legacy run in preparation is written directly
as `cancelled`. Legacy terminalization classifies a cancelled run with
no bootstrap evidence as an unknown outcome. It records
`legacy_execution_requires_reconciliation`, although the gated dispatch
never entered the adapter.
- Native runs: the verified native Stop does not create the
reconciliation hold, but gap (b) applies to native runs too. The release
change is runtime-independent.

## What Changed

- `issueTreeControlService.findOwedPauseResume` decides if a task is
owed one resume. The task's latest run must be an operator Stop that a
pause hold member snapshot names, recorded while that hold was active.
The task must still be executable by the same agent, and no pause may
still cover it. The obligation belongs to the run, so overlapping pauses
keep it until the last covering release.
- New `services/issue-tree-resume.ts` re-dispatches owed work with wake
reason `issue_tree_resumed` (`holdId` and `interruptedRunId` in the
context). A compare-and-set claim (`treeHoldResume`) on the interrupted
run makes the resume happen at most once. A failed wake returns the
claim.
- Pause release and `mode: "resume"` call it for every member of the
released hold, also without `wakeAgents`. When `wakeAgents` is true, the
existing loop wakes every executable member.
- A task that still has an execution blocker is not replayed. The
release writes `issue.tree_resume_wake_skipped`, the blocker stays
visible, and the obligation stays unclaimed.
- `releaseHold` updates only an `active` hold. A repeated release gets
`409`.
- `settleCancelledLegacyPreparation`: when the executor that owned a
cancelled legacy run proves that dispatch never entered the adapter, it
records bootstrap evidence and resolves that run's
`legacy-execution:<runId>` hold as `false_positive`. It also corrects an
automatic no-replay disposition and restores a `blocked` status only
when that disposition made the change. Then it re-dispatches owed work,
for a release that happened while the Stop was unwinding. It requires a
requested Stop with no existing recovery receipt, and no process,
session, native finalization, unreleased lease, or execution-start
event.
- `settleUnrecoverableExecutions` waits while a legacy executor still
holds its controller lease, and records a `legacyCancellationBlock`
receipt when it blocks a task for a cancelled legacy run.
- Docs: `doc/execution-semantics.md` and `doc/composer-stop.md` describe
the resume rule.

## Verification

- New regression
`server/src/__tests__/issue-tree-pause-resume-run.test.ts` uses embedded
Postgres, the real heartbeat, and the real tree-control routes:
- A run paused during preparation: nothing runs during the hold, there
is no blocker, and release creates exactly one `issue_tree_resumed` run
that succeeds. A second release returns `409` and creates no run.
- Release before the stopped preparation finishes unwinding (with the
periodic disposition run in between): exactly one resumed run after the
executor settles.
- An automatic no-replay disposition that ran first: the blocker clears,
the status returns to `in_progress`, and release resumes once.
- Overlapping child and parent pauses: no resume while the parent pause
remains, then exactly one resume after it is released.
- A queued run cancelled by the pause: release creates exactly one
resumed run.
  - A task reassigned to a user during the hold: no resume.
- A mid-turn legacy Stop with unknown outcome: no replay, the
reconciliation blocker remains, and `issue.tree_resume_wake_skipped` is
logged.
- Red before each fix: the first 4 cases failed on master; the 3 review
cases failed on the first PR commit. All 7 pass now.
- Also passed locally: `issue-tree-control-routes`,
`issue-tree-control-service`, `heartbeat-workspace-busy`,
`heartbeat-undispatched-execution-wait`, `execution-control-work`,
`legacy-workspace-restore-recovery`, `legacy-continuation-authority`,
`task-retry`, `legacy-execution-recovery`, `agent-conversations`,
`heartbeat-retry-scheduling`, `satisfied-connection-intents`.
- Not verified here: a live staging pause/resume. Re-check on staging
after deploy.

## Risks

- Behavior change: release now starts the work that the pause
interrupted, also without `wakeAgents`. Before, that work stayed idle.
Other idle tasks still wake only with `wakeAgents`.
- The settlement trusts the executor's adapter-entry flag. The flag is
set only inside the atomic dispatch gate, which refuses a cancelled run.
The settlement also requires no process, session, lease, or execution
event.
- A native run whose Stop has not finalized at release time is not a
target. Stranded recovery and explicit wake still apply.

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.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip a9b18e1cbe fix(runner): preserve cleanup ownership across startup failures (#18658)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip controls which run owns an agent task.
> - A plugin can continue accepted work after Core stops waiting.
> - A late task-creation reply can therefore arrive after startup
cancellation.
> - Core must keep that work owned until its resource identity and
cleanup outcome are known.
> - This PR supplies the cleanup and recovery support before shared
startup is enabled.
> - The dependent activation PR can then reuse transport data within a
bounded startup context.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18405. This is the independently mergeable prerequisite for that
stacked activation PR.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Cleanup of explicitly recorded startup work that outlives its caller.

**Current behavior**

Caller timeout, worker exit, or failed cleanup-intent persistence can
leave work without a complete recovery path.

**Proposed behavior**

Retain the cleanup obligation, use existing Stop and recovery queues,
and release ownership only after the exact task and accepted work have
stopped. Ordinary calls keep their existing startup payloads and
budgets. This PR does not create startup contexts or advertise transport
reuse.

**Reason and benefit**

Separate the failure-handling contract from activation so each can be
reviewed on its own. This support PR has **no standalone TTFT speedup**.

## What Changed

- Add the startup cleanup marker, exact ownership checks, verified
completion, and acknowledgement helpers.
- Connect recorded cleanup obligations to existing Stop, deadline
reconciliation, restart recovery, and retry scheduling.
- Retain typed cleanup responsibility when a database write fails. Keep
the nonterminal run from being treated as ordinary completed cleanup.
- Observe late acquisition results and save resource identities before
retiring them. Retain real host writes and received results across
worker exit or persistence failure.
- Queue abandoned replacement tasks through the existing creation
journal and cleanup machinery. Require the replacement's own Stop proof.
- Accept an explicit startup context in the internal bridge for lifetime
tracking. Automatic context creation, marker production, capability
advertisement, transport capture, and executor activation belong to
#18405.
- Add PostgreSQL and worker IPC regressions, including legacy payload
assertions.

## Verification

Initial split source `8fb482d8be9e70101b0cfdd0830f41cf5b8e3cf4` had tree
`95508bd1859e991670cad8afd4de8d2167009ac5`. **190 distinct targeted
tests pass**, along with server typechecking. The selected checks cover
real PostgreSQL cleanup/ownership, worker IPC, the bridge and creation
journal, ordinary/distributed Stop, restart and deadline recovery,
idle-sleep behavior, and the unchanged legacy warm-task suite.
Independent recovery and worker reviews found no blocking issue.

The first correction, `b6342d42042601b376da38dc8e1dba9ca80e9539`, fixes
the replacement cleanup finding with the existing startup-cleanup
marker, scoped to contextual abandoned task creations. The replacement
was never prepared, so preparation-stop proof is not required. No
dispatch is fabricated and no normal-startup query is added. The actual
queue/sweep/driver/receipt/cancellation regression fails before the fix
and passes after it: void, running or foreign-task status retains
ownership; exact-task stopped status permits completion even when
Release returns void. **64 affected targeted cases and server
typechecking pass**. Independent review found no blocker.

Current source is `f53af72af76f263096c3c2e788506e6faef9474f`. It fixes
both recovery findings from the prior head's Apex 3/5: orphan recovery
now preserves pending or completed-but-not-cancelled cleanup through its
existing final-write fence, and exact late identities can reach verified
cleanup after reconciliation or restart. The regression selection went
from four failing assertions to six passing cases. Affected selections
cover 217 distinct cases; the exact final six-case regression and server
typecheck pass. Independent reviewers found no blocker in either fix.
Current-head standard review is 5/5 and all CI checks pass (54
successes, three expected skips, plus Snyk). Apex also completed at
**5/5** on this exact head, with zero unresolved threads. The requested
independent availability audit is complete on this head. It found an
activation-dependent operability gap: an acquisition response that is
never received can leave an unknown creation identity with no supported
task inspection/reconciliation path, while cleanup keeps the run owner
reserved. This does not occur in ordinary lower-only calls. The contract
and recovery policy need follow-up before activation; the external
review scores do not resolve that availability tradeoff.

The split preserves the accepted implementation at `21db7b3851` after
its clean merge with frozen master
`946735d03a55c1fb4cc5434d6bf1d87742daa9df`. The initial dependent
activation PR restored exact aggregate tree
`f68c6895f87c7b93ae03e6324d955d2659a99dce`. Both subsequent cleanup
corrections are integrated into upper head
`27978f294a02da3992585c7f4daa73cd8fcf99f8`; its current aggregate tree
is `a0b66c33f5e22745f034f45d24d213f5c210cf16`. Lower-only payload tests
cover the absence of capability advertisement and transport projection.

Only targeted local tests and typechecking are used. Full regression
coverage runs in GitHub CI. No deployment or ROM qualification is part
of this change.

The lower audit covered connected worker, creation-journal, Stop,
restart, deadline and orphan-recovery paths. A new isolated
real-PostgreSQL characterization reproduced the unknown-ID hold through
actual recovery, cleanup verification and run-control cancellation. It
models a lost acquisition response; it is not a live provider or
complete IPC test. No source edits were made by the audit. The
upper/composition audit remains required after its review cycle.

## Risks

- Recording a replacement result now commits with the existing cleanup
notification. This conditional replacement path adds
transaction/notification responses; common retained startup is
unchanged.
- This adds cleanup and recovery state handling. A missing receipt or
permanently inaccessible old backend can keep ownership held
indefinitely. Temporary outages retry; an ordinary retry is not evidence
that a deleted or replaced backend stopped.
- A caller timeout does not undo work already accepted by a plugin.
Unknown resource creation remains unresolved until its identity/outcome
is established. Current task creation has no supported
inspect-by-operation or operator reconciliation API for a permanently
lost identity; repeated Stop alone cannot resolve it.
- The support code understands records produced by the dependent
activation PR. It does not enable the shared startup policy by itself.
- Existing legacy callers must retain their behavior; context-only
automatic replacement cleanup remains explicitly scoped.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The exact model ID and context window are
not exposed in this session. Tool-assisted implementation, targeted
testing, and independent subagent review.

DottaandPaperclip 73cd8eb9a5 fix(server): deliver answers promptly during web handoff (#18530)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Its web servers can overlap while Railway replaces one deployment.
> - An answer can reach the replacement while the original server owns
the native execution.
> - A competing delivery claim can make the owner miss the first
notification.
> - The normal retry interval then delays the answer by 30 seconds.
> - This pull request gives pending answers a one-second retry in
ephemeral mode and verifies delivery between separate processes.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18518 and #18526. This closes a measured native-question delivery
delay during control-plane web deployment overlap.

## What Changed

- Register question delivery through its owning service. Use a
one-second retry for ephemeral servers and retain the configured cadence
for ordinary servers.
- Keep the existing durable claims, response identity, authorization and
continuation behavior.
- Add a two-process PostgreSQL regression for a claim held by the
non-owning server. Verify one command, settlement, idle behavior and
reactivation by another committed answer.
- Keep the assembled startup fixture on the real registration function.
Update the deployment plan with current evidence and remaining
acceptance work.

## Verification

- The same local two-process race took 30.157 seconds before the fix and
1.197 seconds after it. The command sink is simulated; PostgreSQL,
notification transport, interaction response, delivery claim and worker
are real.
- The cross-process regression and assembled startup suite passed 122
tests. No further sweeps or pending inspections occur after settlement.
A second answer wakes the owner through PostgreSQL without a test-owned
sweep.
- Server TypeScript compilation passed. All PR CI gates passed on
d1d426c0dc, including full tests, typecheck, build, browser shards and
serialized suites. Greptile reviewed that head at 5/5 with no findings.
- Live provider continuation, hosted staging deployments and production
acceptance are still separate work.

## Risks

- An unresolved answer causes more frequent reconciliation in ephemeral
mode. Settled history does not keep the worker active. Existing claim
fencing and bounded error attempts are unchanged.
- A 30-second abandoned claim still needs its existing stale-claim
recovery. This change addresses released claims, not proof of provider
liveness.
- The test simulates the provider command sink. It cannot establish that
a paid model consumed the answer or that a remote execution survived a
deploy.
- No schema, API or UI changes.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6. Tool use, code execution and repository review. The
runtime does not expose a more specific model ID or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 006d5691a6 feat(server): support volume-free web server handoff (#18518)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Its web server also owns controller admission and user commands.
> - A rolling deployment starts a replacement before the old server
exits.
> - Shared database state alone does not preserve local agent files,
browser chunks, or in-process commands.
> - This pull request adds an opt-in ephemeral server contract and a
local overlap test.
> - The benefit is a web server that can relinquish traffic and local
files without losing acknowledged work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18403, #18327, #18335, #18341.

**Current behavior**

The control-plane web server still has local agent-file authority and
local command targets. A new container can miss saved bytes or send a
command to the wrong process. An existing browser tab also needs chunks
from its original build.

**Proposed behavior**

Eligible servers share only PostgreSQL, object storage and stable
secrets. A replacement waits for readiness. The old server drains
admitted requests, keeps owner commands available through handoff, and
releases controller leases. Explicit maintenance adopts existing files
before the volume is removed.

**Reason and benefit**

This is the application prerequisite for rolling app-only deployments.
Schema migrations and permanent multi-replica operation are outside this
change.

## What Changed

- Store agent-file manifests in PostgreSQL and immutable bytes in S3.
Treat local roots as disposable projections. Preserve existing
permission checks and edit conflicts.
- Add an explicit migration, eligibility and object-retention command to
the production runtime bundle.
- Add `/api/ready`, admitted-request drain, browser restart signaling
and retained immutable UI chunks.
- Carry transaction-aware work hints across controllers during handoff
and active execution. Keep listeners closed when idle.
- Deliver durable Stop and runtime responses to the execution owner.
Recheck request lifecycle and access before response dispatch.
- Reject local-only configuration in ephemeral mode. Keep the feature
disabled for existing installations by default.
- Add an isolated PostgreSQL/S3/proxy/browser deployment harness with
independent server homes and retained failure evidence.

## Verification

- All CI checks pass on `ce17b95019d3cf1cabd357d19b6d37f96782cc5c`:
workspace typecheck, build, Runner checks, server/general tests and
browser shards. Greptile reviewed the runtime changes at 5/5 with all
findings resolved; the final commit updates maps and the plan.
- Local targeted checks passed: coordinator 27; Stop/recovery 33;
PostgreSQL command delivery 6; route/workspace regressions 8; bootstrap
Stop 1; restart recovery 75. PostgreSQL command tests simulate the
provider edge.
- Local browser proof passed 91 reads and 19 saves; reconnect took
1,013ms. The tab opened Audit from S3 after deletion of A's whole
home/build. This uses compiled workspace code and local-trusted auth,
not released containers or live agents.
- Local workspace typecheck/build passed; current server and runtime
bundle passed. The earlier broad local suite was stopped after three
hours and is not a passing receipt. Its retained failures and isolated
reruns are documented in the plan.
- Stacked #18526 adds stricter graceful-exit proof, an unready
replacement control, live Runner qualification and a Stop handoff
correction. Hosted enablement remains gated on those results and Cloud
#1096. No hosted stack has been enabled.

## Risks

- Apply migration 0422 before enabling the feature. Existing data must
pass each owner's migration and eligibility checks. Do not discard a
volume based on a single migration page.
- Durable manifests remain authoritative after the opt-in is disabled.
Rolling back to a binary that ignores them is unsupported.
- Cold directory restoration and complete shutdown timing still need
qualification before enabling a hosted stack.
- Retained UI assets must cover the supported browser and rollback
window. Cleanup is explicit; no new idle maintenance polling is
introduced.
- This change does not claim production zero downtime or authorize a
fleet-wide enablement.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The exact serving model ID and
context-window limit are not exposed in this session. Used reasoning,
code editing, shell execution and browser automation.

DottaandPaperclip 198218bf55 fix(config): require shared storage for managed cloud (#18350)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Managed Cloud instances must retain shared objects and secrets
across server replacement.
> - Implicit storage defaults can select local disk or an unintended
bucket.
> - Cloud runtime settings now come from a canonical database snapshot.
> - This pull request validates bootstrap prerequisites before database
setup and effective S3 settings after snapshot resolution.
> - The benefit is an actionable refusal before local signing state or
HTTP setup, while valid canonical Cloud settings work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A managed Cloud instance could start with local disk storage, an
implicit bucket, or a local key file. After canonical Cloud
configuration landed, checking only environment or file values would
also reject a valid database bucket. Shared schema defaults could make
an omitted raw bucket appear explicit.

**Expected behavior**

Managed Cloud requires external PostgreSQL, a stable environment master
key, and effective S3 settings with a nonblank bucket. The canonical
snapshot remains the configuration authority. Invalid configuration
refuses startup before signing or HTTP effects. Self-hosted defaults
remain compatible.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Select managed Cloud with its tenant token or managed configuration
document.
2. Leave storage as local disk, or omit the S3 bucket from a raw
canonical snapshot.
3. Start the server. Startup must refuse. An explicit valid bucket in
the canonical snapshot must work without a file or environment bucket.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Current base: `4edd10804e2b42941aa2038e90c362c13a0b98dc`.

**Deployment mode**

Managed Cloud. Ordinary self-hosted defaults remain unchanged.

Related PRs: #18335 owns canonical Cloud runtime configuration. #18327
owns S3 run logs. #18352 owns credential persistence. #18347 owns
cutover checks. This PR adds configuration prerequisites to those
existing boundaries.

## What Changed

- Validate external PostgreSQL and a stable environment master key at
the Cloud bootstrap boundary, before database setup.
- Validate effective S3 settings after canonical snapshot publication
and before Cloud signing, runtime consumers, or HTTP setup.
- Require a nonblank bucket in the Cloud snapshot schema. Reject omitted
or blank buckets in every legacy Cloud file before one-time import
normalization, even when an environment bucket is supplied. Keep shared
self-hosted schema defaults.
- Preserve typed bucket provenance at the existing file-read boundary.
Accept explicit canonical bucket names, including `paperclip`, and
environment settings when the snapshot is null.
- Validate effective legacy storage with the existing resolver before
seeding. A rejected candidate leaves no canonical rows, so a corrected
source file can be imported on retry. Environment overlays are checked
but never persisted.
- Add real PostgreSQL snapshot and migration-retry tests, startup
refusal tests, and environment/file compatibility controls. Document
that Cloud always requires its stable environment key, even with an
external default secrets provider.

## Verification

- Latest focused acceptance passed 199/199 in six files (54.29 seconds),
using the command below plus
`server/src/__tests__/cloud-configuration-migration-postgres.test.ts`.
Real PostgreSQL proves rejected storage leaves all three migration
authority rows absent, then a corrected legacy file imports on retry. An
external-default-secrets control proves the deliberate unconditional
Cloud master-key contract.
- Before the peer correction, the frozen product diff passed 178 tests
in five files: managed-cloud-prerequisites, cloud-runtime-config,
server-startup-feedback-export, config-file, and
cloud-configuration-readers. Command: `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/{managed-cloud-prerequisites,cloud-runtime-config,server-startup-feedback-export,config-file,cloud-configuration-readers}.test.ts
--maxWorkers=1 --no-file-parallelism`. Real PostgreSQL used a qualified
POSIX test-only PG18.6 override because the host cannot supply the stock
runtime's SysV semaphore allocation.
- Coverage includes raw database and legacy omitted/blank bucket
rejection, valid database and environment buckets, null snapshots,
explicit default-named buckets, self-hosted compatibility, and refusal
before local signing mutation.
- The real AWS SDK configured-provider control uses a simulated loopback
S3 service. It writes, reads from a fresh provider, and deletes an
object. It also reads an encrypted credential with the stable
environment key. This does not qualify production cloud permissions.
- `git diff --check` passed. Final merges add unrelated master changes
from #18241, #18363, and #18370; the focused storage product diff is
unchanged.
- Peer review reproduced a fresh legacy local-disk import that gained
the default bucket before an S3 environment overlay. The importer now
requires a raw explicit bucket for every legacy Cloud file. Six controls
cover omission/blank values with and without an environment bucket; the
full focused rerun passed 184/184 across all five files in 194.89
seconds.
- Initial revised startup testing passed 167/168: one fixture omitted
the database URL and failed before its intended key assertion. The
corrected final run passed 178/178. An initial direct server typecheck
failed because Runner declarations were not built; this is a setup
failure, not a compile pass. Integration verification rebuilds
dependencies before full checks.
- Prior head `fae1e4aa` passed complete CI with 53 successes, two
intended skips, and Greptile 5/5.
`de71345f379cecb71dbfb219f35e14f942c10a3f` then passed complete CI (55
successes, three workflow skips, and a neutral external review), with
Greptile 5/5 and zero unresolved threads. The external review identified
the preseed rejection problem; its correction is committed at
`75e04d0d77e19dcef0a8cb070b6b518f0f173b14`. The final merge head is
`19b809ea2823a6a4e5ceb48ef2c2bac4721733d6`; [Fresh complete
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41127309762)
passed on that head: 55 successful checks, three workflow skips, and one
neutral external review. Greptile reviewed this exact head at 5/5 with
no actionable issues. Both earlier external review threads are resolved
with the tested fixes. Earlier infrastructure retries remain documented
in [the first
diagnosis](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18350#issuecomment-6529964690)
and [the runner shutdown
evidence](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18350#issuecomment-6530364769).
Earlier missing SDK build and fixture metadata failures were repaired
before those passes.
- Current frozen-head CI first attempt failed one unchanged Antigravity
authentication success case in Runner Vitest 1/2 (`outcome=failure`,
1994 tests passed). The same file passed 11/11 locally in 2.33 seconds,
and identical Runner source passed the prior complete CI run. Attempt 2
retried only failed jobs (the Runner shard and dependent aggregate).
Both passed without a source change. No second retry was used. The exact
timing cause is not established. [Failed
job](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41127309762/job/124309181778).
- No production data, buckets, or live credentials were used. Complete
local repository suites are not duplicated in this worktree;
current-head required CI supplies the full suite gate.

## Risks

- Managed deployments with local disk, omitted buckets, file-only keys,
or missing external database URLs now refuse startup. Operators must
supply valid prerequisites before rollout.
- Required deployment environment overlays must remain stable across
replacements. For example, a saved local-disk provider with an explicit
bucket can use an environment S3 provider; removing that required
overlay correctly refuses startup until the environment or canonical
configuration is corrected. Environment settings are never silently
copied into the canonical row.
- Effective legacy storage must also pass before first seeding. A bad
candidate does not create authority rows. Existing saved rows remain
authoritative and can require environment overrides or a canonical
configuration change if they are invalid.
- A present legacy Cloud file needs an explicit raw bucket even if its
saved provider is local disk or its environment supplies a bucket.
Correct the file before one-time import, or use the existing
absent-file/null-snapshot environment-only setup. Environment overlays
are not persisted as operator choices.
- A previously stored canonical nonblank `paperclip` bucket is
authoritative. Prior normalization erased whether that value was
originally explicit. This change cannot recover that provenance and does
not reject existing nonblank canonical values.
- Validation proves configuration shape, not cloud permissions, database
reachability, or key compatibility with existing encrypted data. Keep
the master key stable across replacements.
- Cloud snapshot JSON parsing is stricter; omitted or blank raw S3
bucket values need correction. No database migration or provider
operation changes are added. These prerequisites do not prove that every
server persistence path is disposable.

DottaandPaperclip dbff3747b8 feat(server): persist run logs and provider traces in S3 (#18327)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Operators use run logs and restricted provider traces to inspect
agent work.
> - Local log and trace files depend on the web server's persistent
volume.
> - That dependency prevents overlapping volume-backed Railway
deployments.
> - This PR reuses the instance S3 store for batched log and trace
payloads with conditional publication.
> - Existing Postgres rows retain their contracts; native export
recovery reuses events already committed before Runner acknowledgement.
> - S3-configured servers automatically copy and verify retained history
before a later deployment cutover.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Server run logs, restricted provider traces, storage providers, and
migration tooling.

**Problem or motivation**

Replacing the web server and its disk must preserve committed log output
and retained traces. The current S3 mirror can repeatedly upload a
growing file. Moving those payloads into Postgres would add database
writes, WAL, replication, and backup work.

**Proposed solution**

Reuse the existing instance storage configuration, S3-compatible
provider and credential chain. Store new run logs under run-logs/ and
opted-in raw traces under provider-traces/, below the existing prefix.
Cloud keeps its existing bucket and bucket-scoped credentials per stack.
Add no new configuration switches. Store immutable payload segments and
bounded binary range indexes directly in S3. Publish each batch with an
ETag-conditional head. Keep existing database ownership and lifecycle
records. Recover canonical native exports from their existing validated
control event source, checkpointing export progress in S3. Add no new
payload writes to Postgres. Preserve local defaults and migrate settled
history with verified byte counts and digests.

**Alternatives considered**

Postgres payload chunks add control-plane load. Repeated whole-file
mirrors amplify transfer work. The first index prototype left superseded
index nodes; the final binary index keeps all normally published nodes
reachable.

**Roadmap alignment**

This is a storage prerequisite for replacing the main web/API server. It
does not enable deployment overlap, detach a volume, or change native
Runner protocol acknowledgements. The maintainer approved this
implementation scope. ROADMAP.md has no duplicate implementation item.

Related PR: #16770 improves the existing in-flight mirror. This PR
preserves that legacy backend and uses the existing instance S3 profile
for new journals.

## What Changed

- Automatically select S3 segments for new logs and opted-in traces when
instance file storage uses S3. Reuse bucket, endpoint, region, prefix,
path style and credentials. Remove separate backend switches. Keep
local-disk instances local.
- Share the existing storage configuration resolver with product files.
Preserve config-file settings, environment precedence and the existing
root prefix. Keep pre-existing run-log mirror settings for legacy
history.
- Add bounded buffering, conditional ownership fencing, immutable range
reads, stable byte offsets, and completion hashing.
- Dispatch all existing log consumers through the recorded backend.
Coalesce output progress writes and publish live log messages after
storage receipts.
- Recover interrupted canonical native exports from their existing
durable source. Exclude separate credential, cleanup, and reprojection
records. Replay missing callback ranges and deduplicate late delivery.
Repair settled archives after controller lease expiry. Bound shared
repair work and stop it when all readers cancel. Serve the published
prefix when best-effort repair fails.
- Add encrypted optional trace channels, replacement reads, durable
deletion tombstones, and deadline-driven local/external expiry cleanup
independently of heartbeat scheduling. Stream historical source and
remote verification. Propagate worker cancellation through trace open,
conditional-write probing, upload, restore and reads. Fence deletion
even before the first object head exists; abort and drain owned
captures.
- Retry transient storage errors, distinguish 409 from failed
preconditions, and backpressure bounded log admission. Track interrupted
trace imports explicitly so ordinary local deletion stays independent of
S3.
- Automatically migrate retained history through the existing delivery
coordinator. Process one log and one trace per batch. Retry unresolved
history with backoff and stop scans after completion. Keep the
inventory/import command as optional diagnosis and repair. Verify source
and remote bytes before switching references. Verify finalized native
size and digest before setting its export cursor. Require ordered source
coverage when completeness metadata is missing. Preserve original trace
expiry. Block active, missing, corrupt, and unproven sources.
- Preserve identity and run-secret redaction in live and recovered
native logs. Register runtime log redaction secrets once through the
existing encrypted registry. Keep agent private keys in their existing
owner.
- Add storage, migration, retention, UTF-8, and route-privacy coverage,
plus operating documentation and qualification tooling.
- Add no schema, payload table, per-record SQL, production dependency,
or lockfile change.

## Verification

- Final fixes at `b3a44c898e` passed all 116 selected startup,
retention, attribution and cancellation controls. The disabled-scheduler
cleanup and concurrent-repair defects reproduced red before the fixes. A
timed-out repair still prevents later storage reads.
- The merged source passed 124 storage and real-Postgres Cloud
configuration tests. These include automatic history migration, existing
environment/file vault keys, source-directory removal, five real-SDK
stalled-request cancellation cases, shared capability-probe cancellation
and multi-chunk trace ordering. Saved Cloud S3 settings work after the
legacy config file is gone.
- Workspace typecheck and full build passed at the merged parent
`19f702d780`. Server typecheck and build passed again at `b3a44c898e`.
- Actual app acceptance: finish a process-agent run through the normal
API, stage its retained local-file input, then restart. Automatic
migration reports one migrated item and zero blockers. Remove the
original web home and restart at `b3a44c898e` with an empty home, the
existing S3 profile and the existing vault key file. The normal log API
preserves all five producer lines and exactly 788 bytes, with SHA-256
`74d9ae469da28bfe89b9b50a0e132aec24fe9e6d686496ed5e4ffa6167151036`. No
log-specific storage settings are present.
- Actual expiry acceptance: with heartbeat scheduling disabled, a trace
remains unexpired after startup and later reaches its fixture deadline.
The worker marks the row deleted and tombstones both S3 channel heads.
The retained run log stays byte-identical. The process fixture emits no
provider protocol frames, so nonempty encrypted payloads are qualified
separately through the real SDK round trips.
- Isolation tests use identical run identities in two stack buckets.
Cleanup in one existing prefix leaves another prefix, another company
and product files intact. Read-only Cloud source inspection confirms a
bucket and bucket-scoped credentials per stack. Four existing Cloud
storage environment-contract tests passed. No Cloud provisioning changed
and no new live vendor permission probe was performed.
- Earlier qualification passed 1,014 affected storage/native tests and
27 privacy-route tests with isolated Docker Postgres. An abrupt process
test commits 1,000 records, receives receipts, dies by SIGKILL and loses
its directory; another process reads every byte and continues. The real
Rust Runner experiment acknowledges 32 records while the export cursor
is zero, then continues the same Runner PID after controller loss. All
64 records export once with exactly 64 existing control rows. Repeated
snapshot/Stop commands completed in 162/81 ms.
- Emulator workload: 1,000 burst records used two batch PUTs. Eight
steady streams produced 240 records with 104 conditional PUTs and 72
GETs over 6.9 seconds. These are synthetic operation counts, not fleet
sizing or provider prices.
- Failure evidence is retained. Compact native events over 64 KiB,
missing file-key support, disabled-scheduler retention and repair
failure handling all reproduced before their fixes. Fixture repairs
addressed cold module setup, localhost/IPC permissions, the S3
bucket-name limit and a mode-0700 crash-test directory. Full local `pnpm
test:run` was stopped after host PostgreSQL semaphore exhaustion;
affected suites used isolated Docker databases instead. Native package
library symlinks were restored with the package's standard hydration
helper.
- The `19f702d780` browser session-recovery case timed out while saving
a task title. All eight browser shards passed on `b3a44c898e`, including
that case, with no UI behavior or assertion change. Fresh-head CI passed
at `b3a44c898e`: 55 successful checks, three skipped checks and one
neutral check. The branch is conflict-free.
- Map and module-boundary checks passed. Current-head Greptile is 5/5
with zero unresolved review threads.

Reproduce the opt-in storage suites with
`PAPERCLIP_LOG_TEST_S3_ENDPOINT` and a dedicated
`PAPERCLIP_RUN_EVIDENCE_MIGRATION_DATABASE_URL` ending in `_test`. See
`doc/run-evidence-storage.md` for operating limits, automatic migration,
optional diagnostics and rollout qualification.

## Risks

- Keep the existing per-stack bucket, prefix and vault key stable across
replacements. Relocating that storage is a separate whole-instance
operation.
- This release automatically changes new log storage for existing
S3-configured instances. Local-disk instances remain local. Canonical
native source replay is qualified with a deterministic real Runner;
actual remote execution and production-provider qualification remain
rollout gates. Generic server-only diagnostics and optional raw trace
tails without a surviving source can be incomplete after a crash. This
does not establish full zero-downtime deployment.
- Before deploying this release, qualify the actual S3 provider. It must
enforce conditional writes and pass read, version, deletion, workload,
and latency qualification. A capability probe rejects providers which
ignore preconditions. Moto is emulator evidence only.
- Dirty output is bounded and unconfirmed until S3 publication. Storage
failure leaves persistence incomplete while task results and usage can
settle.
- Trace expiry is not yet represented by Cloud's external wake contract.
Outstanding trace deadlines conservatively block sleep.
- Automatic history copying requires the original source volume. Keep it
until all retained resources pass verified import and clean-filesystem
reads. Stop old binaries from creating new local-file runs. Missing or
corrupt history remains blocked and visible in server logs. Rollback
requires a compatible reader against the same external state. Ordinary
object deletion does not erase retained historical object versions or
backups.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, `gpt-6.1-sol`, with reasoning, tool use, code execution,
and browser verification. The runtime did not expose a context-window
size.

DottaandPaperclip 61bd4ac691 feat(agents): set up Antigravity with saved Google subscriptions (#18189)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents and their work.
> - Users choose providers and managed accounts while adding agents.
> - Antigravity was missing from the ordinary additional-agent picker
and its saved Google path did not complete native readiness.
> - A user needs a successful Test, an enabled task action, and a stable
account binding.
> - This pull request connects the ordinary setup flow to the native
candidate.
> - It also preserves retired credential refreshes across database
failures and server restarts.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Built on merged #18188 and #18187. Refs: #12503, #14938 for related
legacy CLI proposals.

**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 remains required; the local candidate result does not
enable general release.

## What Changed

- Show Google Antigravity in the ordinary adapter grid and preserve the
draft choice when setup resumes.
- Reuse the same user’s saved personal default Google subscription and
discover the exact low model through the native account.
- Run a prompt-free native Test and wait for authoritative readiness
before enabling task assignment.
- Carry the managed account through native runs and recover retired
refreshes through the existing encrypted, fsynced journal with exact
generation checks.
- Retain the latest rotated credential through verification, storage,
and partial home-removal failures. Retry the exact account’s retained
cleanup before another provider use.
- Reconcile cleanup before taking the credential mutation lock, fence
owners arriving during lock acquisition, and support nested lock holders
without a join cycle.
- Bound sign-in retirement outside database transactions and preserve
claims for the existing cleanup owner; one pending sign-in does not
block unrelated accounts.
- Cover Gemini and Pi API-key recovery, keep API-key bulk manual-model
editing usable, and keep adapter discovery available after candidate
expiry.
- Skip taskless native timer work before run or credential admission.
Preserve current master monitor and deadline scheduling.

## Verification

- The registered local saved-Google-subscription journey passed all 16
matchers in 196,520 ms using eval source `12aba` against actual serving
source `4a37ee7c`. Both turns stayed in one conversation, produced exact
downloaded files of 61 and 119 bytes after reload, and used distinct
native primary processes. All observed owners retired, leases released,
and credential fences settled. Independent readback confirmed Done work,
no active owned runs, a connected saved account, and the retained agent
paused for inspection.
- The measured runtime is production-equivalent to pre-restack
`65ef31dc` except its test-only transport fixture correction.
Current-master head `ff7c9249` preserves all 99 product paths: 98 exact
blobs and only eight inherited plugin-panel lines in `agents.ts`. Its
native binary was rebuilt for inherited Codex-only diagnostic changes;
the changed Rust behavior is outside Antigravity's ACPX execution path.
Shared native/UI changes have focused regression coverage. The recorded
live result is not represented as a measured replay of `ff7c9249`.
- Full workspace build and typecheck passed on `ff7c9249`. All 376
focused tests in 14 files passed, covering Google credential/retirement
controls and the inherited native-tool, redaction, route, and UI
recovery changes. Token gates, maps, and diff checks passed. The
required-close fixture was separately demonstrated red, then passed all
317 selected provider-wiring cases.
- [Current-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40959387972)
is green: 55 successful checks, two skipped workflow checks, and an
optional neutral review check. Required `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e`
passed. Greptile and Paperclip Review both report 5/5 on exact
`ff7c9249`, with zero unresolved review threads.
- This qualifies the selected operator-authorized local
saved-subscription candidate. The original exploratory journey remains
historical evidence; the repeatable fixed-driver eval is in the next PR.

## Risks

- Google refresh recovery must preserve the exact grant, account, and
credential generation. An uncertain native owner or failed encrypted
handoff retains the private home and blocks cleanup.
- A successful local saved-subscription candidate does not qualify fresh
OAuth, API keys, Cloud, Linux, other models, or general release.
- Timer filtering changes only taskless native Runner admissions.
Existing task-bound monitors and legacy adapters retain their owners.

## 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 f1911a4c53 perf(skills): move repository packages out of Postgres (#18082)
<!-- entire-trail-link-start -->
https://entire.com/gh/paperclipai/-/trails/205/changes/paperclip/205
<!-- entire-trail-link-end -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents receive selected company skills before each turn.
> - Imported skills can need files from the whole source repository.
> - The current path stores those files in Postgres and reads large JSON
payloads during preparation.
> - This pull request stores verified packages in the configured file or
object store and keeps preparation queries small.
> - It also converts old rows automatically and restores missing files
from the exact saved commit.
> - The result reduces database traffic while preserving skill versions
and repository dependencies.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Company skill import, version storage, and preparation before agent
turns.

**Current behavior**

Repository snapshot bodies live in JSONB. Skill preparation can read
those bodies again even when the files already exist on disk. Historical
packages and native assets also need a bounded cleanup path.

**Proposed behavior**

Store package archives and manifests through the existing storage
service. Keep version identities, receipts, hashes, and recovery
metadata in Postgres. Convert legacy rows after the stored package
passes read-back verification. A missing package can use legacy bytes or
its exact Git commit under current repository authorization. No separate
data-migration command is required.

**Reason and benefit**

The warm path sends no repository bodies through SQL and reads no object
bytes. Cleanup runs through the existing deadline coordinator. Current
versions, active runs, explicit pins, and authored content retain their
protection.

**Breaking changes**

The normal application schema upgrade is required. Single-version and
skill-file responses keep their existing shape. Version lists,
current-version summaries, and test-run version summaries now contain
file names and kinds without file bodies. Diff and restore fetch
selected versions through the existing single-version endpoint. Older
server builds must not write after conversion unless they support the
new package format. The storage override and rollback limits are
documented in `doc/skill-package-storage.md`.

**Additional context**

Related work: #15731 preserves repository dependencies; #17923 changes
version-cache scheduling; #18080 changes delivery to remote Codex homes.
This change owns package persistence, acquisition, and expiry. It does
not replace those delivery or scheduler changes.

## What Changed

- Add company-scoped archive receipts, exact-commit recovery recipes,
migration deadlines, and a durable object-deletion queue.
- Add bounded archive upload, read-back verification, extraction,
concurrent request coalescing, and verified local caches.
- Convert old snapshots and versions automatically. Keep legacy bytes
when verification fails.
- Recover missing files through current source authorization and the
original commit. Validate repository identity, file hashes, modes, and
the aggregate hash.
- Expire unused recoverable Git packages and native assets after 30
days. Preserve active pins and the durable copy of authored or unproven
content.
- Keep warm preparation queries metadata-only. Bound file digest caches
and avoid repeated body hashing when file identities are unchanged.
- Extend the existing storage contract with cancellation. Register
package work with the existing coordinator. Optional conversion retries
retain the original bytes and may wait for ingress without blocking
sleep.
- Add regression tests, operating guidance, a deep trace, benchmark
receipts, and an optional maintenance command.

## Verification

### Final master integration and review repair — October 29, 2026

Current head: `a6065424249e763dfeac37161f1b52a9f25bd9b7`. Commit
`f8bbdd3dbd` resolves the conflicts with master `76a796e964`; the final
two commits repair the Apex deletion findings below.

- Keep both package-maintenance and version-retention notifications in
their write transactions.
- Keep the shared run-pin predicate and master's controller-lease
deadline metadata. Package expiry reads the updated protected-version
result.
- Preserve every master migration entry. Generate migration **0415
(`0415_zippy_zemo.sql`)** after master's 0414. Its skill SQL is
byte-for-byte unchanged from the previously tested idempotent migration.
Retain only the five newest schema snapshots. Migration numbering and
safety checks pass.
- Repair failed file/folder deletion: preserve a complete temporary
subtree until transaction commit, restore on upload or SQL failure, and
restore callback failures before releasing the mutation lock. Both
PostgreSQL regressions reproduced missing files before the fix and now
pass. They cover binary data, executable permissions, empty folders,
unlisted files, unchanged database/version rows, successful retry after
upload-claim expiry, and historical reads.
- Reconcile lost commit replies under the same advisory and row locks.
Check the saved version and source identity before restoring. Keep
committed deletions intact and preserve backups when the database
outcome is unknown or a newer edit exists. Four real-PostgreSQL outcome
tests pass; the prior code failed three of them.
- Full workspace typecheck and production build pass on the final
commit. All **204** focused PostgreSQL package/cache/retention/authoring
and filesystem-boundary tests pass, with none skipped.
- Apex review **18 passes 5/5**, with zero new comments on the exact
final head. All **34** review conversations are resolved.
- [Final-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40914116508)
completes successfully on attempt 2. The head has **55 successful
checks**, two neutral reports, two skipped checks, and a successful Snyk
status. No checks are pending or failing. All eight browser shards pass.
- Runner Vitest 2/2 timed out once in the unchanged ACPX
controller-replacement fixture. The same job passed on the preceding
commit. One unchanged CI retry passes all five ACPX recovery cases,
**2,253** Runner package cases and **126** native server integration
cases; their standard one and five skips remain. The initial timeout's
root cause is not established. Local diagnosis also hit the fixture's
eight-second session.open timeout with an authenticated Runner; no local
Runner pass is claimed.
- Both full local `pnpm test:run` attempts were stopped when Apex
identified deletion defects and source repair became necessary; neither
is claimed as a passing full local run. The final **204** focused tests,
full workspace typecheck, and production build pass. Full-suite
acceptance uses the final-head CI jobs. The superseded merge-head CI
included runners terminated by shutdown signals; each source repair
started a new full run.

- Auto-merge is enabled for squash merge. The final head is
conflict-free and all checks pass. GitHub's active master ruleset still
requires a code-owner approval for the dependency files. The existing
review requests are with `devinfoley`, `nickyleach`, and `forgottendev`;
no policy bypass was used.
- The earlier hosted stress and full native receipts below remain tied
to `a2e597d800`; they are not relabeled as a deployment of this final
integration. The earlier local PostgreSQL startup failure remains
recorded below; PostgreSQL ran successfully for this integration
verification.

### Full native skill execution — October 29, 2026

The full native-agent acceptance gap is closed on candidate
`a2e597d800eb989d565780e7aa947d5368676444`. Two qualifying native turns
used OpenAI API / `gpt-5.4-mini` in real Daytona sandboxes, on the same
disposable hosted TEST tenant as the stress test. A follow-up on the
same task consumed a newly saved skill version.

The task text asked for the assigned skill workflow. It did not contain
the proof nonce or expected receipt. The assigned authored skill
contained a Python verifier and a random package-local nonce. The agent
read the actual installed skill files and executed that verifier against
the imported, automatically converted 1,360-file repository package. It
checked the repository file count and reference/binary bytes, and
directly executed the repository's executable probe. Independent
verification matched the emitted JSON to the nonce and expected byte
hashes. The agent persisted the same receipt as its task response;
native finalization committed, workspace finalization succeeded, and
task state became Done.

| Qualifying turn | End-to-end run time | Recorded skills.prepare |
Repository files | Binary hex | Shell receipt SHA-256 |
|---|---:|---:|---:|---|---|
| Initial task | 47.881 s | 1822 ms | 1360 | `00ff07800a` |
`a1deb30dc095f2306c7aa9cc5ec396da12c68961cf5b809f4d7c20f7fc68493b` |
| Corrected follow-up, new nonce/version | 37.974 s | 377 ms | 1360 |
`00ff07800a` |
`dbcdc33fa1376b4edc136feae1cdf770560a73292467e93619efdda20e4282a7` |

Both successful shell receipts reported `probe: STRESS18082` and
`assetSha256:
e8ea7a2f15f7bb3b332a46adbef848465884c8996595aa234748befd544d1f3a`. Their
proof nonces, selected version IDs and receipt hashes differed, and both
ran on the same task. These are observed timings, not latency SLOs; they
include real provider work. The service stress-test timings remain a
separate measurement boundary.

Earlier failures remain in the evidence:

- The original five-minute Daytona allocation timeout never reached
model execution. After normal owned-stack restore, its durable cleanup
record was `expired` / `success`. The cause of that original allocation
timeout remains unknown; a later success establishes recovery only.
- Initial continuation setup used unsupported generic agent-update
fields and returned HTTP 409 before dispatch. Setup was corrected to use
the supported skill-assignment and versioned instruction commands.
- The intervening completed native turn read repository bytes and ran
the probe, but omitted the verifier JSON under the older test agent's
overly-specific instruction file. Its strict receipt validator failed;
it is not counted as a qualifying turn. Correcting the test agent's
instruction file and sending an explicit task-scoped wake produced the
qualifying follow-up above.
- The pinned application's immutable rate card omits `gpt-5.4-mini`, so
completed usage triggered the normal block-on-unpriced budget policy.
Supported append-only accounting corrections estimated the three
completed runs using the [official OpenAI model rate
card](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/models/gpt-5.4-mini): $0.75
input, $0.075 cached input, $4.50 output per million tokens, assuming
standard processing. Estimates totaled 12.482655 cents. Original usage
and missing-price records are preserved; the $1 hard stop and
unpriced-usage guard stayed active.
- Model shell attempts included a missing `xxd` command and incorrect
guessed file paths. Those failed calls and subsequent successful actual
verifier calls remain visible in complete event streams. No
zero-tool-error claim is made.

No product source changed during this continuation. The previously
measured contention, cold-start and memory limits remain. The later
merge resolution is covered by the separate integration checks above;
these hosted receipts qualify their recorded candidate.


### Hosted stress test — October 29, 2026

**Hosted acceptance:** full native-agent execution and a changed-skill
follow-up pass on the recorded hosted candidate. The final integration
section above records the subsequent conflict resolution and its
separate checks.

Tested baseline `929e840595c8933ca485ac7a2e99413e1e11ca64` and this
exact candidate sequentially on one disposable TEST tenant, with
external Neon PostgreSQL and actual S3. The fixture contained **1,360
files / 22.4 MB / ten skills sharing one repository**. Measurements
cover deployed skill-preparation and native-context services in an
adjacent diagnostic process, not a complete agent turn. The container
had **24 vCPU / 24 GB**.

| Warm workload | Median before → after | p95 before → after | DB
returned value bytes/preparation before → after |
|---|---:|---:|---:|
| One skill, serial | 1,060 → 125 ms | 1,303 → 155 ms | 22,610,389 →
1,771 |
| One skill, four concurrent | 4,415 → 297 ms | 5,143 → 328 ms |
22,610,389 → 1,771 |
| Ten skills, serial | 5,723 → 535 ms | 6,057 → 600 ms | 224,739,030 →
10,671 |
| Ten skills, four concurrent | 24,410 → 1,986 ms | 24,833 → 2,221 ms |
224,739,030 → 10,671 |

- Candidate warm preparation performed **zero S3 GETs**. Ordinary-pool
queries fell from 16 to 9 for one skill and 61 to 9 for ten, excluding
dedicated lock connections. DB numbers measure returned values before
Drizzle decoding, not wire bytes. Baseline/candidate sample counts were
30/100, 32/100, 5/50 and 8/48 respectively; the small baseline ten-skill
samples are comparative evidence, not SLO estimates.
- **Application-UID soak:** 800 ten-skill preparations over 10.3
minutes, four workers paced by 2.5 seconds; **zero failures**, median
**559 ms**, p95 **775 ms**, p99 **910 ms**, zero warm S3 reads. All 726
accompanying health/company-list requests returned HTTP 200. Their
end-to-end p95 was 569/502 ms, including network latency. The probe
overlaps most of the soak. Soak DB-response capture was limited to its
first 60 seconds.
- **Important remaining costs:** an unpaced 16-way ten-skill burst had
p95 **8.32 seconds** because company-level preparation serializes. Cold
preparation took approximately **1.1–2.5 seconds** for one skill and
**7.4–10.0 seconds** for ten. Ten-skill diagnostic RSS remained about
**1.17 GiB** (baseline 1.18 GiB), and the soak peaked at **1.35 GiB**. A
concurrent whole-container sample was 3.45 GB. This does not establish
suitability for a small-memory host or eliminate per-entrypoint native
asset duplication.
- **Upgrade without a manual data migration passed:** legacy snapshot
JSON shrank from 22,465,691 bytes to `[]`, with a stored package and
zero pending conversions.
- **Recovery passed:** sixteen concurrent cold requests coalesced into
two S3 GETs; full bytes/binary/executable modes matched; same-size
corruption repaired; an injected storage failure preserved warm access
and failed cold access safely. A disabled public-Git source denied
recovery, and after the actual five-minute backoff its exact SHA
reconstructed all 229 files. Cross-company descriptor access was denied.
Private-Git credential revocation was not tested.
- **Retention passed:** reclaimed 27,754,496 allocated cache bytes,
deleted an unreferenced package row and both objects, preserved aged
authored history, and expired/reacquired reconstructible Git content. A
version pinned by the failed native run was correctly retained. Only
owned fixture timestamps were aged.
- **Browser UI passed:** authored skill creation, saved edit surviving
reload, version history, and restoration of earlier content.
- **Initial native attempt (superseded by the qualifying turns above):**
one real run failed at Daytona allocation after five minutes
(`setup_failed`), before any model execution. Provider cleanup also
reported failure. That attempt does not count as a passing native turn.
Its receipt and all evidence remain preserved; its cleanup later
recorded success after normal restoration.
- Initial A/B commands ran as SSH root. Diagnostic-owned lock/cache
permissions caused one setup HTTP 500 and the first UID-1000 soak to
fail; exact fixture paths were repaired. The final soak, retention and
recovery ran as application UID 1000. A fresh UID-1000 one-skill batch
also passed (30 samples, median 116 ms, p95 321 ms, 1,771 DB value
bytes/preparation). Earlier harness-export, SSH, npm provenance, backoff
and UI-wait failures remain recorded alongside their successful retries.
- Private evidence includes raw timings, assertions, HTTP probes,
screenshots and failure/cleanup receipts. Initial failed-campaign
cleanup suspended and retained the owned TEST tenant and released the
shared QA account lease at **15:22:41 UTC**. The tenant was subsequently
resumed under its existing ownership for the native execution
qualification above. Final cleanup completed at **15:53:09 UTC**: the
account lease is released and the tenant is suspended/retained under the
original October 30, 12:24:52 UTC retention deadline. Its separate stack
lease remains held; no active or pending-cleanup environment lease
remained. The original retention window is deliberately preserved even
after successful continuation.

- Earlier hosted-tested head:
`a2e597d800eb989d565780e7aa947d5368676444`, integrated with master
`929e840595`. The earlier merge conflicts were resolved at this head.
[Current-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40884087629)
passed; all checks are complete with 55 successes, two neutral reports,
two skips, and no failures. [Apex review
15](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18082#issuecomment-6480257258)
passed 5/5 with zero findings on this exact head. All review
conversations are resolved.
- Ten real-filesystem boundary cases and server typecheck pass locally
for the security fix. Coverage includes cache roots, descendants,
individual files, symlink aliases, recursive ancestors, a future
concurrent cache fill, and allowed sibling directories. [Current-head
private-project integration
tests](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40884087629/job/123483306405)
passed all 29 cases, including authorized and unauthorized imports of a
cached private package. Full typecheck, build, server suites, all eight
browser shards, and Runner checks passed in current-head CI. Local
database tests could not run because PostgreSQL could not initialize;
this limitation is recorded below.
- The earlier generated migration preserved the newest five snapshots.
The final integration renumbers its unchanged SQL to 0415. Migration
safety/numbering checks pass. Its SQL is byte-for-byte identical to the
previously verified idempotent skill migration; repeated application on
this latest schema was blocked by the same local database startup
failure.
- The broader verification before the final migration-only rebase passed
1,025 package, lifecycle, remote-launch, native-session, and
asset-retention tests, 52 focused UI tests, full workspace
typecheck/build, token gates, and map checks. The linked complete CI run
passed before the latest focused fixes.
- A disposable MinIO instance passed multipart upload, verified
read-back, and cold restoration of an 18 MB archive.
- Twenty warm samples with a synthetic 1,349-file, 22.8 MB repository
retained five metadata queries and zero object reads. Median preparation
was 256 ms for one selected skill and 691 ms for ten, with 5 ms emulated
network delay each way. These are local measurements, not production
latency guarantees.
- No production instance was changed. Earlier verification failures and
their disposition are retained below.

<details>
<summary>Earlier failures, review findings, fixes, and rerun
evidence</summary>

- The first CI pass found a stale inventory-span expectation and a
missing repository-read span. Both are fixed; all three observability
tests pass. One browser test copied page text into its YAML parser after
reload; its first unchanged-head retry passed, but the race recurred
after rebasing. The test now waits for the renamed URL and completed
reload before copying the editor, retaining its original assertions. The
earlier full local suite did not complete cleanly: it reported setup
timeouts and assertions, while isolated relevant reruns passed. The
complete current-head CI run closes that broad verification gap. No
production instance was changed.

- The first Apex review scored 2/5 and identified six issues. The fixes
protect authored history even when it shares an in-flight Git upload,
recheck upload expiry during orphan deletion, bound failed-upload
cleanup, retain per-version kind/encoding metadata, add sanitized
failure diagnostics, and correct the migration guide. The final focused
run passes all 140 tests; the preceding eight-file run passed all 149
tests, including local storage and S3 diagnostics. Server typecheck and
migration safety/numbering checks pass after the fixes. The second Apex
review scored 1/5 and found unbounded maintenance storage calls and
mismatched package/Git batch limits. Those are fixed with a 30-second
cancellable cleanup deadline, shared 100 MiB/10,000-file scanner and
storage limits, and bounded Git read batches. The proposed manual
lockfile edit was rejected with evidence of the enforced CI-owned
lockfile policy. All 19 storage/recovery unit tests and server
typechecking pass. The new database-backed cleanup/conversion tests were
locally skipped because the host exhausted its PostgreSQL semaphore
capacity (confirmed directly by initdb). That gap is closed by
current-head CI: [package-store
tests](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40771320775/job/123109300889)
pass all 18 cases and [package-worker
tests](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40771320775/job/123109301157)
pass all 7, with no skips in either suite. The corrected YAML browser
shard passes. A separate planning-fixture test failed its cleanup DELETE
with an activity-log foreign key violation after its behavior assertions
passed; its one unchanged-head retry passed. The third Apex review
scored 1/5 and identified a one-slot pool deadlock, projected path
limits, cleanup holding the preparation lock during archive reads, and a
publication/expiry race. These are fixed with transaction-local reads,
prefix-aware bounds, isolated verification, and shared package row locks
with a publication grace. The separate Paperclip review also found stale
historical inspection, eager history downloads, and conversion retries
blocking sleep. Those are fixed. Local PostgreSQL capacity recovered:
the new database regressions ran, including the one-slot fork, paused
storage during a warm turn, and a locked publication during expiry. The
expanded run passed 144/145 tests; its remaining assertion still
expected file bodies from the version list and was updated to fetch the
selected version. The corrected company-skill suite passes all 81 tests,
and the final package/projection run passes all 27. All 52 focused UI
tests pass after updating their query-provider fixtures; the first UI
run exposed a fixture remount, and the follow-up exposed an editing
syntax error, both corrected. Full workspace typecheck and build, token
gates, and map checks pass. The sandbox initially blocked the build
tool’s local IPC socket; the authorized build rerun passed. Master then
claimed migration 0401. The branch is rebased on f8226b0515, the
unchanged SQL is regenerated as 0402, and repeated application passed
twice on the combined schema. Post-rebase workspace typecheck passes.
All 1,025 package, lifecycle, remote-launch, native-session, and
asset-retention tests pass on the combined head. All CI checks passed
for head 9d80a3b52d. The fourth Apex review scored 3/5 and found a
save/edit lock-order cycle, a retry retaining an uncommitted source ID
in its recovery recipe, and a summary read racing conversion. Commit
b7d9237c6a fixes all three. The new concurrency and retry tests pass
within all 61 package/source tests, and server typecheck passes. Master
then claimed migration 0402. The branch is now rebased on 65fa1cd617 and
the unchanged SQL is regenerated as 0403. All 68 package, source, and
worker regressions, server typecheck, migration safety/numbering, and
repeated migration application pass on current head 62553671a0.
Subsequent verification and review outcomes are recorded below.


- The fifth Apex review scored 4/5 and found cached version reads
unnecessarily depending on object storage and conversion reads missing
the coordinator cancellation signal. Commit 1eb90d80be fixes both:
cached reads verify bytes without the preparation lock; manifest and
archive reads carry cancellation through conversion. The first focused
run passed 70/71 tests, including all three new cases, but the existing
diagnostic test observed no warning. Its fixture now sets an explicitly
expired migration deadline; the final worker suite passes all nine
cases. Server typecheck passes.


- The sixth Apex review scored 4/5 with one finding: concurrent cached
inventories were unbounded. Commit 4b7589e14c gives cached inventories
and previews a two-reader/32-waiter limit independent of cold storage.
The first expanded pressure test observed a third reader before the
preview path had the same bound; both paths now share the local limit.
All 73 focused cases pass, followed by all 29 package cases after the
final overload adjustment; server typecheck passes. The separate
Paperclip review found no must-fix or should-fix issues. Its optional
suggestion to persist durability verification was considered: cleanup
intentionally verifies current external bytes before discarding the last
local authored copy, and the missing-object regression requires that
check. Shared-package eviction happens on cold fills with at most two
attempts and a ten-second budget.


- The seventh Apex review reached 5/5 with one remaining P2:
timeout-bearing manifest reads bypassed request coalescing. The security
review also found repeated archive acquisition after a cold
administrative read. Commit 79a80a39d2 shares manifest loads with
per-caller cancellation and cancels the underlying work when the last
caller leaves; coalesces identical cold version/file requests; and
publishes verified restored packages into the shared cache. Publication
uses a short nonblocking lock, while eviction verification runs outside
it. The first expanded run passed 73/74 tests and exposed a missing
originating DB for cache publication inside read-only inspection;
transaction readers now pass that owner explicitly, keeping metadata on
the transaction. The corrected run passed 75/75. A final eviction test
initially expected the shared package to remain after only its separate
runtime projection was reused; it now explicitly accesses the shared
package during verification. All 32 final package tests pass, including
independent caller cancellation, one acquisition across
concurrent/repeated reads, and warm preparation during stalled eviction
verification. Server typecheck passes.


- The eighth Apex review scored 4/5 with one finding: decoded cold
inventories outlived the storage semaphore while waiting for cleanup.
Commit 9d7921d1ec adds a separate two-response/32-waiter lifetime bound
held through cleanup, preserving the independent warm-read queue and
forwarding cancellation through eviction verification. The new
regression pauses cleanup after two responses decode, verifies a third
archive stays queued, and completes warm preparation before releasing
cleanup. All 77 package/source/worker cases and server typecheck pass.
On the preceding head, serialized server shard 6/9 was interrupted with
“The operation was canceled” after 57 seconds of tests; the log contains
no failing assertion. Fresh latest-head CI reruns that shard along with
the other gates.

- The ninth Apex review scored 4/5 with one P1: cold responses could own
both permits while waiting on a one-slot ordinary database pool held by
a queued transaction reader. Commit a94f0e409f reads caller-scoped
metadata before admission and isolates all acquisition/cleanup SQL on a
private connection. The new real-PostgreSQL regression reproduces the
deadlock against the previous head and passes with the fix; all 78
focused cases and server typecheck pass. The previous CI run completed
with 54 successful checks, including both formerly interrupted/stuck
serialized shards.

- The tenth Apex review scored 4/5 with one P1: preloading legacy bodies
before admission could retain many full repositories in queued requests.
Commit 276e353a37 removes that preload and also bounds legacy manifest
derivation/fallback, using private connections inside the I/O slot. All
80 focused tests pass; the final synchronized package suite passes all
36 tests and server typecheck passes.

- Apex review 11 returned 5/5 with zero comments on 276e353a37. While it
ran, master 8bc051245f added migration 0403, creating a metadata
conflict. Merge commit e1783764d9 integrates master and generates
0404_clumsy_leo.sql; its skill SQL is byte-for-byte identical to the
previously verified migration. The combined schema passes migration
safety/numbering, repeated SQL application twice, all 80 focused
PostgreSQL tests, full workspace typecheck, and full build. The
preceding a94f0e409f CI run was superseded and cancelled while its final
runner job was active; no old-head success is claimed for that run.

- Final acceptance: Apex review 12 returned 5/5 with zero comments on
e1783764d9. All 28 review threads are resolved. The final head has 55
successful checks, two neutral reports, two skipped checks, and no
pending or failing checks; the PR workflow completed successfully.
Superseded run 40789121902 was cancelled to free its workflow slot for
the final head; normal cancellation did not finish promptly, so force
cancellation completed it.

- October 29 conflict resolution (867c00673b): master 929e840595 added
installed-selection reuse and bundled relocation, routine cleanup
notifications, a hardened YAML copy helper, and migrations through 0413.
The merge retains those behaviors together with package read scoping and
the public-selection fast path; restricted selections still reauthorize
and the full row read rechecks scope. Generated migration 0414 retains
the existing SQL unchanged. Workspace typecheck/build and migration
checks pass. Local database verification is unavailable: initdb reports
semget / “could not create semaphores: No space left on device”; all 168
cases skipped, and repeated migration application failed at startup.
Docker returned HTTP 500 during container creation, so no Docker test
pass is claimed. Current-head CI must close this gap.

- Apex review 14 scored 3/5 with one P1: a local import could copy
cached private package files into a company-wide skill. Commit
a2e597d800 rejects cache trees and ancestors through a canonical
filesystem boundary, including aliases and ancestors checked before a
concurrent fill. Ten local filesystem tests and server typecheck pass.
The existing private-project integration case now rejects package-cache
imports for both authorized and unauthorized users. The preceding merge
commit’s complete CI run passed, and logs confirm all 168 locally
skipped cases executed successfully: package store 36, sources 35,
package worker 9, runtime selection 4, observability 3, authoring 81.

- Apex review 15 returned 5/5 with zero new findings on a2e597d800. The
separate Paperclip review found no must-fix or should-fix issues. Its
optional suggestions were considered: unexpected filesystem cleanup
failures remain visible, the durable marker cannot replace checking that
bytes still exist before deleting a last local authored copy, and
administrative history batching remains outside the pre-turn
optimization. The cache-path literal centralization suggestion is also
optional; the current producer and guard use the same directory, covered
by the new integration regression. All review conversations are
resolved.

- Earlier October 29 CI/Apex acceptance: a2e597d800 was mergeable at
that check, Apex review 15 passed 5/5 with zero findings, and all review
conversations were resolved. The hosted verification above records the
later acceptance limits and renewed conflicts. Workflow 40884087629
completed successfully, with 55 successful checks, two neutral reports,
two skips, and no pending or failed checks. The project-skill-sources
job log confirms all 29 cases ran and passed, closing the latest
integration gap. The preceding merge workflow also confirmed all 168
focused database cases ran and passed. No local PostgreSQL or Docker
pass is claimed.

</details>

## Risks

- First use after eviction can require storage or Git access. Revoked
grants, removed sources, and unreachable commits can prevent
reconstruction. Recovery never substitutes a newer commit.
- Historical packages without a proven recipe keep durable bytes.
Cleanup favors retention when a run pin cannot be interpreted safely.
- New uploads and conversion use bounded work and persisted retries.
Large initial conversions still add temporary storage and database load.
- Optional cleanup can wait until the next server wake. Supported
notifications assume one owning server process.
- Per-entrypoint native tree duplication and cold preparation cost
remain. The final ten-skill cold sample took 47.6 seconds on the shared
host.
- Generic authored edits can still hold an existing edit transaction
while a package uploads.
- Explicit file/folder deletion uses temporary disk space for rollback.
An uncertain commit with a changed skill or unavailable database retains
that backup and logs its location for recovery.

07c6df260b fix(server): schedule archived runner evidence from saved deadlines (#17925)
<!-- entire-trail-link-start -->
https://entire.com/gh/paperclipai/-/trails/85/changes/paperclip/85
<!-- entire-trail-link-end -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Retired native sessions leave continuity and quarantine evidence on
disk.
> - The old hourly loop mixes evidence retention with backup expiry,
which has different database eligibility rules.
> - Evidence already has saved creation timestamps and local publication
signals.
> - This pull request gives evidence its own registered worker and
actual next deadline.
> - The worker stops filesystem and SQL activity when its evidence
obligations settle.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Stack slice 65. Parent: #17923
(`codex/sleep-64-skill-version-retention`). Related foundation: #15625.

**What happened?**

At parent `7b94aa185c29673372646bbf2e07a2fbd16bc394`, an hourly
backup/evidence tick still inspects native state roots. Evidence's
private due time is checked by that recurring tick instead of the shared
scheduler. Empty evidence and future retention windows have no reason to
be rediscovered every hour.

**Expected behavior**

Reconstruct evidence once. Wake from the existing publication signal.
Register the earliest saved retention deadline. Keep busy, failed, or
incomplete evidence recoverable. Preserve backup eligibility as a
separate duty.

**Steps to reproduce**

Start retention with an empty evidence root or archives inside the
seven-day window. The old timer still visits the combined owner. The new
evidence worker disarms when empty, or registers the saved expiry with
no evidence filesystem or SQL calls between relevant changes and that
deadline.

## What Changed

- Add an evidence worker through the delivery coordinator and shared
scheduler. Track startup reconstruction without delaying HTTP readiness.
Unsubscribe local publication before delivery shutdown.
- Select `backups` for the existing backup timer and `evidence` for the
new worker. Existing callers that omit the selection retain combined
behavior. Backup expiration remains the next separate migration.
- Use hourly retries for concrete busy or failed evidence, with earlier
saved expiries and one-second continuations independent. Restore
candidate/removal/byte summaries. Schedule publication at the first
removable instant; preserve legacy manual-tick semantics.
- Expose the existing earliest evidence deadline. Preserve one-second
bounded continuation, concrete failure/busy retries, cleanup-source
archive exclusions, symlink protection, late activity checks, atomic
rename, and interrupted removal recovery.
- Preserve non-ENOENT inspection errors as recovery obligations. Retry a
failed session root in a new evidence pass instead of continuing past it
and forgetting it.
- Register the first removable instant after the inclusive retention
boundary. Keep the existing manual dry-run publication semantics.
- Add real filesystem/isolated PostgreSQL lifecycle tests and
disabled/held-startup wiring cases. Add no table or migration.

The archive and quarantine writers already call
`noteNativeRunnerEvidence`; this PR connects that existing signal to the
scheduler. Shared code owns scheduling, while evidence rules stay with
the retention service. See
[`doc/plans/2026-10-27-runner-evidence-retention-sleep-audit.md`](doc/plans/2026-10-27-runner-evidence-retention-sleep-audit.md).

## Verification

- Adopted actual prerequisite squash
`b06ea111a254c62e0a55199b010d82e0adb33bf0` from #17923 through normal
merges. Qualified runtime/package/UI/map trees remain unchanged. The
final nine-path diff includes one browser-spec readiness repair.
- Runtime qualification remains **652 passing TypeScript cases across 22
complete files**, plus **29 passing Rust cases** in native-backend,
runtime-notification and configured-environment targets. One actual
closed Pi snapshot launch is intentionally skipped because its external
distribution root is not provided. Accepted source is
`b80eee32f344ae0218d8b791c14f2ea174da09cc`; all runtime and earlier
sleep-test bytes are preserved.
- The complete outage-recovery browser file passes **all five journeys**
on a fresh isolated database after four additive rendered-history
readiness assertions. Every original assertion, outage control and
timeout remains byte-identical when those new lines are removed. The
intentionally unresolved first-session scenario keeps its pre-auth
interaction and delayed-owner coverage. The prior CI/local timeout
evidence and one rejected broader precondition remain in the audit.
- Adapter/Runner/database builds, server/Runner typechecking, Rust
formatting/workspace checks, server build, module boundaries, migration
order and generated TypeScript/Rust profiles pass. PostgreSQL 17
fixtures apply all 413 journal entries through index 414; source hashes
and temporary fixture imports restore exactly.
- **Inherited validation exception:** Copilot profile 81's separate
source-identity check fails on the merged Rust configured-environment
hash. Its inputs and attestations equal upstream and stay unchanged
here. Grok's identity check passes. No release attestation is
regenerated or new live-provider qualification claimed. Required
exact-head CI/security and Greptile 5/5 still must pass.
- [The evidence
audit](doc/plans/2026-10-27-runner-evidence-retention-sleep-audit.md)
retains historical failures, counts and limitations. No full local
repository-suite, live provider, external-alarm, measured suspension or
fleet-savings claim. Fresh final-head CI/security, exact-head Greptile
5/5 and actionable Ponytail findings remain separate merge gates.

## Risks

- Live publication is the existing server-owned executor in one process.
Independent filesystem writers need an explicit signal contract. Startup
reconstructs restart state.
- Busy sessions and concrete inspection/removal failures retain retries.
Unknown cleanup-source archives remain protected.
- The existing scan enumerates directory names before applying its
entry/removal budget. This PR preserves that behavior and does not claim
a bounded total directory-listing allocation.
- An in-process deadline cannot wake stopped compute. Cloud sleep-safety
and external-alarm coverage stay unchanged. Physical evidence
reclamation can wait for a supported host wake.
- Backup expiration still has an hourly database eligibility scan. This
slice removes only the archived-evidence duty from that loop and does
not claim full instance suspension.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex (GPT-6-based coding agent), using repository inspection,
normal Git merges, composition proofs and complete
PostgreSQL/filesystem/startup suites. No subagents were used in this
reconciliation.

b06ea111a2 fix(server): schedule skill cache retention from changes and saved deadlines (#17923)
<!-- entire-trail-link-start -->
https://entire.com/gh/paperclipai/-/trails/83/changes/paperclip/83
<!-- entire-trail-link-end -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The server caches saved skill versions on disk so runs can restore
their exact instructions.
> - The old retention owner scans company rows every hour, even after
all caches are protected or removed.
> - Cache publication, version changes, and pin release already have
local or transaction-owned boundaries.
> - Grace windows and terminal controller leases already have saved
timestamps.
> - This pull request uses those changes and deadlines to drive the
existing bounded prune service.
> - Idle retention stops SQL and directory reads while pending cleanup
remains recoverable.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Stack slice 64. Parent: #17876 (`codex/sleep-63-agent-timer-deadlines`).
Related: #15625 establishes transaction-owned work signals. #17907
independently keeps an active cache-lock transaction alive; this PR
preserves that lock and does not duplicate that repair.

**What happened?**

At parent `31c12f1d68ff4a51e06fc2be2abf2c2aee9f9d3a`, skill-version
retention has an hourly company scan, a startup timeout, and separate
continuation timers. Empty or permanently protected caches still cause
recurring SQL.

**Expected behavior**

Reconstruct once, inspect changed companies, and schedule saved
access/staging grace or terminal controller deadlines. Stop recurring
work when no timed or uncertain obligation remains. Keep
current/newest/agent/run protection, restorable-byte validation, cache
locking, final pin revalidation, atomic rename, and trash recovery.

**Steps to reproduce**

Start an enabled server with no cached versions, or only current/pinned
versions. After the initial scan, advance an hour. The old interval
selects companies again. The new worker has no deadline and performs no
retention SQL or directory scan in that state.

## What Changed

- Signal the missing-local-source reconciliation deletion in its
transaction. Limit fresh scans of a successfully observed company to one
per thirty seconds. Keep one-second page continuations and actual saved
deadlines independent. Empty or uncertain passes do not delay first
publication.
- Restart a company scan if drain interrupts inspection or post-rename
trash cleanup. Restore bounded candidate/byte logging with dry-run mode.
Three controlled cases failed before repair and the complete 34-case
retention suite passes afterward.
- Register retention through the delivery coordinator and shared
scheduler. Remove the hourly, startup, and continuation timers from
`index.ts`. Track startup work without delaying readiness. Stop delivery
work before closing retained iterators.
- Keep one active company cursor and bounded 50-entry passes. Preserve
observed deadlines across pages and bound company discovery to 51 rows
per page. Retain concrete company failures and incomplete pins for
retry.
- Report saved grace and terminal controller deadlines from the existing
cache owner. PostgreSQL remains the controller-lease authority.
Current/newest/agent pins do not arm unrelated lease checks.
- Wake on cache publication, rejected materialization, and access
markers. Signal version creation/deletion and agent configuration/hire
changes in their owning transactions. Extend existing instruction,
finalization/environment, and retained-session fanouts with company
hints.
- Route reused provider-task prior-owner retirement through
`writeEnvironmentCleanup`, so that supported pin-release write also
settles a notification.
- Add an optional scope callback to `registerDeadlineWork`. Existing
consumers omit it and keep their behavior. The feature owns persistence
predicates; startup only registers it. Add no table or migration.

Full producer audit, shared-contract explanation, lifecycle evidence,
and limitations:
[`doc/plans/2026-10-27-skill-version-retention-sleep-audit.md`](doc/plans/2026-10-27-skill-version-retention-sleep-audit.md).

## Verification

- Reconciled all existing sleep changes with actual master
`7e27bc5007c8f9cb8cdce06c24f9813e27f7120f` through normal merges. All 24
retention-owned and 95 unrelated upstream paths are preserved; package,
UI, E2E and map trees equal master.
- Combined-source qualification: **1,009 TypeScript cases across 42
complete files**, plus **28 Rust cases** in two targets. One intentional
Linux-inotify-only adapter case is skipped on this macOS host. Coverage
includes actual retention/cache/producer/runtime behavior, startup,
shared deadline consumers, changed OpenCode/observability and native
execution boundaries.
- After the subsequent task-index/task-read upstream merges, **85 cases
across six complete files** passed on final source
`d9277b1858a2230bdb726974c90a0c9bc5c5ebe6`: real retention/cache/work,
task reads/query behavior and concurrent migration repair. Counts
overlap earlier coverage. Fresh PostgreSQL 17 schemas apply all 413
journal entries through index 414.
- Database/adapter/Runner builds, production server and Runner
typechecking, module boundaries, target migration order and generated
TypeScript/Rust release-profile consistency pass. Selected source hashes
and temporary fixture imports restore exactly.
- Reproduced and repaired Greptile's own-company due-cleanup P2 with
identical old-worker-failing/new-worker-passing assertions. The
30-second ordinary scan floor remains; already-due cleanup receives its
owed scan and disarms afterward. Earlier 799-case and fresh-blank-plugin
acceptance remain in the audit.
- **Inherited validation exception:** the separate Copilot
source-identity check fails after upstream OpenCode reserved-environment
changes; all 72 identity inputs equal current master. No provider
release attestation is regenerated or new live qualification claimed
here. Required exact-head CI/security and Greptile 5/5 still must pass.
- Historical results, repair details and limitations remain in [the
retention
audit](doc/plans/2026-10-27-skill-version-retention-sleep-audit.md). No
full local repository-suite, live provider, production-load,
external-alarm, measured suspend/wake or fleet-savings claim.

- CI on the prior published head found four connection-review assertions
racing the concealed conversation after reload. Its fresh
Greptile/Ponytail reviews were both 5/5, but the failing browser gate
was not waived or retried unchanged. The fixture now foregrounds the
task tab and waits for visible history before retaining all existing
saved-result assertions. The full file passes four journeys locally; the
controlled-restart case is intentionally skipped by the default
configuration. Original local journeys also passed unchanged, so no
deterministic local red reproduction is claimed. See the audit for CI
failure artifacts and scope. Runtime and prior sleep-test sources remain
unchanged.

## Risks

- Supported live writers are the existing service/API owners in one
process. Independent SQL/FS writers need an ingress contract. Startup
reconstruction covers restarts.
- Notifications cause a bounded inspection; they do not authorize
deletion. Durable pin predicates and the cache lock remain
authoritative.
- A database clock behind application time can require another
one-second check of the concrete expired controller lease. Unknown pins,
lock contention, and failed inspection retain retries until resolved.
- The in-process scheduler cannot wake stopped compute. This PR
preserves Cloud sleep-safety gates and external-alarm coverage. It does
not prove deployed suspension or fleet savings. Cache reclamation can
wait until a supported wake when compute is stopped.
- Native-harness backup retention and the other remaining duties are
separate stack slices.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex (GPT-6-based coding agent), using repository inspection,
normal Git merges, composition proofs, a controlled red/green regression
and complete PostgreSQL/filesystem integration suites. No subagents were
used in this reconciliation.

ba07f85cad perf: schedule agent timers from durable deadlines (#17876)
<!-- entire-trail-link-start -->
https://entire.com/gh/paperclipai/-/trails/58/changes/paperclip/58
<!-- entire-trail-link-end -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent timers must start due work and preserve queue admission rules.
> - The server woke their scan on every heartbeat interval, even with no
eligible timer.
> - Idle scans keep the database and instance active.
> - This pull request derives the next deadline from saved policy and
work records.
> - Supported producer transactions notify the shared coordinator when
eligibility changes.
> - An idle timer worker stops scanning and resumes when real work or a
deadline requires it.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17863. This is slice 63 of the recurring-work migration and
follows the merged issue-monitor deadline PR.

Related: #16632 changes timer issue scope; #16881 changes live-run
eligibility. This PR preserves the current admission policy. Those
policy changes are separate work. A future time-sensitive predicate must
expose its next transition deadline.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Agent timer heartbeat scheduling in the server.

**Current behavior**

A recurring heartbeat wakes the timer scan even when companies are
paused, timers are disabled, or no actionable task exists.

**Proposed behavior**

Register the earliest eligible interval or positive daily-cap reset
deadline. Re-read on supported producer commits and startup. Leave no
recurring database scan when no timer obligation remains.

## What Changed

- Keep policy and deadline calculation in the heartbeat queue.
Scheduling retains company, reporting-chain, worktree, and CAS gates.
- Use the existing deadline coordinator. Remove only the timer wake from
the server heartbeat loop.
- Notify before existing transaction writes that change eligibility or
deadlines. Cover configuration, lifecycle, company budgets, task
ownership, recovery, conversations, accounting corrections, and
completion.
- Use the lifecycle status-change hook for saved hire rejection. Cover
checkout's second adoption transaction after an initial failed CAS.
- Preserve pending work through idle and maintenance drains. Check
cancellation between due agents. Reconstruct on restart.
- Document the supported writer model and producer inventory. Add no
schema, table, or provider branch.

## Verification

- **1,710 passing cases across 49 complete files**, no skips, on
accepted source `32db86c1974dcbf794f01a8c5e42024e2ad071fc`. Coverage
includes real timer policy/CAS/producers, monitor and shared deadline
consumers, native reconstruction, Slack lifecycle,
skills/settings/configuration, queue isolation and agent lifecycle.
- Database build, production server typechecking/build, module
boundaries, target migration order and Runner profile identity pass.
Twenty-nine fresh PostgreSQL 17 schemas plus per-file fixtures applied
all 412 journal entries through index 413; all selected source hashes
and temporary fixture imports were restored exactly.
- Four new deadline composition cases verify future/overdue timing,
minimum scan spacing and disarming. A controlled mutation dropping only
the inherited continuation option fails; the composed source passes with
identical assertions and timers.
- Normal parent reconciliation preserves task-drain expiry and both
deadline contracts. The final monitor-parent publication changes only
its audit, preserving every qualified runtime and selected test source.
- Historical failures and review corrections remain in [the timer
audit](doc/idle-agent-timers.md). No full local repository-suite, live
provider, measured suspend/wake, external-alarm or fleet-savings claim.
Final-head CI/security, exact-head Greptile 5/5 and actionable Ponytail
findings remain separate merge gates.

## Risks

- Process-local notifications cover supported service/API writers in one
server process. Direct SQL and independent replicas need an explicit
ingress contract. Startup reconstruction is not live cross-process
notification.
- Notifications can batch for up to the configured heartbeat interval.
Known deadlines retain their scheduler path; failed reconciliation
retains bounded retry.
- Enabled timers without an actionable-work requirement remain real
recurring obligations. Zero caps require policy changes; positive
reached caps use UTC midnight.
- The timer fixture substitutes adapter enqueue. Existing admission
tests also pass, but this is not deployed provider or sleep
qualification.
- Cloud does not gain legacy agent timer alarms in this PR. Existing
sleep-safety blockers remain. No database/host suspension or fleet
savings claim is made.
- Parent-stack CI and review must pass before merge. This PR does not
authorize merging its dependencies.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex (GPT-6-based coding agent), using repository inspection,
normal Git merges, composition proofs, a controlled red/green regression
and complete PostgreSQL integration suites. No subagents were used in
this reconciliation.

0f6f0a3fee fix(server): schedule issue monitors without heartbeat polling (#17863)
<!-- entire-trail-link-start -->
https://entire.com/gh/paperclipai/-/trails/56/changes/paperclip/56
<!-- entire-trail-link-end -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Issue monitors save a future check on an existing issue.
> - The heartbeat timer still scans monitors on every tick, even when
none are due.
> - The saved deadline and claim already provide durable scheduling
state.
> - This pull request gives monitors their own deadline worker and
connects state changes to it.
> - Idle monitor work stops querying. Existing admission and recovery
rules remain in force.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17840, #16325. Related: #17171 addresses rearming a monitor after
its admitted run fails. This PR changes when monitor inspection runs and
follows the merged routine prerequisite.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Issue-monitor scheduling and idle database use.

**Current behavior**

Heartbeat ticks call the combined agent and monitor sweep. The existing
next-deadline query only retains future monitors. Polling covers overdue
leftovers, stale claims, and changes that make a saved monitor eligible.

**Proposed behavior**

Use the shared deadline worker. Retain overdue work with bounded
retries. Wake after committed changes to monitor state, issue
eligibility, company state, or native ownership. Keep legacy agent ticks
separate for the next slice.

## What Changed

- Add monitor-specific sweep and deadline methods to the existing
scheduling owner. Keep the manual combined method.
- Include overdue work and the strict five-minute claim fence. Exclude
active native owners until their state changes.
- Register monitors with the shared deadline worker. Heartbeat ticks
wake only the legacy agent timer worker.
- Connect direct issue-state writers and existing execution-control
notifications to monitor work. Checkout uses a short transaction around
its existing CAS. Provider work stays outside it.
- Add real database lifecycle tests and retain routine, startup,
admission, execution-control, and native-projection coverage.
- Record the obligation, producer inventory, recovery behavior, and
limits in `doc/plans/2026-10-27-issue-monitor-sleep-audit.md`.

## Verification

- **1,233 passing cases in 35 complete files**, no skips, on accepted
source `c24aadfc91e9394d73c799f9e05fc67202160557`. Coverage includes
real monitor scheduling/admission, native settlement, committed
producers, retained routines and all shared deadline consumer
integration suites.
- Database build, production server typechecking/build, module
boundaries, target migration order and Runner profile identity pass.
Twenty-four fresh PostgreSQL 17 schemas plus per-file fixtures applied
all 412 journal entries through index 413; every selected source hash
and temporary fixture import was restored exactly.
- Normal parent reconciliation preserves master's admitted-wake result
and scoped issue deletion while keeping committed monitor notifications.
All other paths match the automatic merge; packages remain byte-exact to
the qualified parent. The final routine-parent publication changes only
its audit.
- Historical failures and corrections remain in [the monitor
audit](doc/plans/2026-10-27-issue-monitor-sleep-audit.md). Old
delegated-Slack rate and Runner drain CI failures are retained; the
current inherited clock fixture and package source are byte-identical to
merged #17835. Fresh final-head CI remains required.
- No full local repository-suite, live provider, deployed suspend/wake,
external-alarm, production-load or fleet-savings claim. Final-head
CI/security, exact-head Greptile 5/5 and actionable Ponytail findings
remain separate merge gates.

## Risks

- A missing producer notification can strand a monitor after polling is
removed. The audit covers ordinary writes, direct status/assignment
writers, recovery, and native ownership changes.
- The writer model is process-local. Independent SQL writers and other
replicas need a supported notification or reconciliation contract.
- Overdue work uses the configured heartbeat interval as a retry floor
for the monitor worker. New notifications during that backoff wait for
its next pass. Normal state-change bursts coalesce for one second.
- Notification fanout can inspect monitors during other active work. An
unchanged idle subsystem has no recurring monitor scan.
- The legacy agent timer still polls. Cloud sleep proofs and external
alarm coverage are unchanged.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex (GPT-6-based coding agent), using repository inspection,
ordinary Git merges, composition proofs, PostgreSQL fixtures and
complete local integration suites. No subagents were used in this
reconciliation.

929e840595 fix(server): schedule routines without heartbeat polling (#17840)
<!-- entire-trail-link-start -->
https://entire.com/gh/paperclipai/-/trails/47/changes/paperclip/47
<!-- entire-trail-link-end -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Routines create work at saved cron deadlines.
> - The heartbeat still wakes the routine worker when nothing is due.
> - Its old next-deadline query also drops overdue work left by capped
catch-up.
> - Removing the heartbeat alone can strand that work and miss company
reactivation.
> - This pull request uses saved deadlines and committed producer
changes.
> - Idle routine scheduling stops querying until a change, retry, or
real deadline.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #16514. Merged prerequisite: #17836. Related Cloud wake contract:
#16215.

**What happened?**

Every heartbeat wakes the routine scheduler. The next-deadline query
excludes overdue triggers. A 27-tick hourly backlog loses its deadline
after the first 25-run pass. Company and budget lifecycle changes also
lack routine schedule signals.

**Expected behavior**

Use the actual next saved deadline. Retain overdue work. Refresh after
supported producer transactions commit. Keep idle schedules quiet
between obligations.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create an hourly routine with capped catch-up and 27 overdue ticks.
2. Run the registered worker once. The base processes 25 ticks and
reports no next wake.
3. Create a future schedule and pause or reactivate its company. The
base does not refresh its registered deadline until another wake.

## What Changed

- Remove only the routine worker wake from the heartbeat tick.
- Put routine eligibility and the next-deadline read in
`routineService`. Include overdue triggers. Keep trigger/routine company
scope consistent and require an active company.
- Reuse `registerDeadlineWork` for retries, request generations, and
passive drain behavior. Narrow its coordinator type to the `register`
method it uses. Existing consumers keep the same runtime behavior.
- Signal routine work from manual schedule invocation, company
pause/resume/archive/delete, and budget-induced company pause/resume.
Existing routine and trigger producers retain their transaction signals.
- Stop between trigger batches during drain/shutdown. Finish a claimed
batch so its advanced timestamp does not discard admitted work.
- Add real PostgreSQL lifecycle tests and extend startup/query fixtures.
Add a validated external database option to the company suite, including
migrations and client closure.
- Record producer coverage and limits in
`doc/plans/2026-10-27-routine-schedule-sleep.md`.

## Verification

- **417 passing unique cases across 14 complete files**, no skips, on
accepted source `4659ef76d398193b15e7812d4a97f3da3b743226`. Coverage
includes the real deadline worker, database eligibility queries, routine
services/HTTP/routes/plugins, budget/company producers, git/device
fixtures, startup and shared coordinator.
- The first combined run passed 416 cases and had one UUID HTTP
authorization timeout at its unchanged 20-second limit. One fresh
complete 13-case E2E diagnostic passed (the affected case took 425 ms).
No assertions, timeouts or production source were changed; the initial
timeout's cause is not established.
- Database build, production server typechecking/build, module
boundaries, target migration order and Runner profile identity pass.
Fresh PostgreSQL 17 fixtures applied all 412 journal entries through
index 413; all selected test hashes and temporary fixture imports were
restored exactly.
- Normal parent merges preserve the tested production and test source.
Historical acceptance and review corrections remain in [the routine
audit](doc/plans/2026-10-27-routine-schedule-sleep.md).
- No full local repository-suite, deployed suspend/wake, external alarm,
live provider or fleet-cost claim. Final-head CI, security, exact-head
Greptile 5/5 and actionable Ponytail findings remain separate merge
gates.

## Risks

- Company pause now prevents due routine claims, matching the prior
deadline query. Rows remain saved for reactivation. Existing routine
reactivation, project-pause skip records, cron, timezone, catch-up, and
concurrency policies remain with the routine owner.
- Signals cover supported service writers in one process. Independent
SQL writers and other replicas need their own integration.
- This proves worker quiet, not host/database suspension or fleet
savings. Cloud idle proof and external wake coverage are unchanged.
- Issue-monitor and legacy-agent-timer polling remain separate duties.
This slice does not finish the full migration stack or its CI/review
work.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex (GPT-6-based coding agent), using repository inspection,
ordinary Git merges, source-composition proofs, PostgreSQL fixtures and
local lifecycle tests. No subagents were used in the current
reconciliation.

fa5e70faf4 fix(server): schedule automatic backups through shared lifecycle (#17836)
<!-- entire-trail-link-start -->
https://entire.com/gh/paperclipai/-/trails/39/changes/paperclip/39
<!-- entire-trail-link-end -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent work and its durable state.
> - Automatic database backups protect that state on a configured
schedule.
> - Their independent interval is outside the shared deadline and
shutdown lifecycle.
> - An enabled backup schedule owes real work even when no queue
changed.
> - The existing coordinator can own this deadline without another table
or notification protocol.
> - This change preserves backup policy and moves scheduling into that
shared lifecycle.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #17835. Related work: #11756 (abortable backups), #3549
(stale-backup catch-up), #2120 (interval unref), #16364 (bounded
shutdown steps). This slice changes scheduling; it does not implement
those separate features.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Automatic database backup scheduling and shutdown ownership.

**Current behavior**

A standalone interval invokes backups, skips drain and warm standby, and
is not registered with the shared work scheduler. Its future deadline is
invisible there. The interval is not cleared or joined by the delivery
coordinator during shutdown.

**Proposed behavior**

Register the configured backup deadline with the shared coordinator.
Call the existing backup owner only when due. Keep the startup-relative
phase, skip missed slots, retain the next interval after failure or a
busy-owner skip, and join active scheduled work on shutdown.

**Reason and benefit**

One scheduling lifecycle owns overlap, admission, deadlines and
shutdown. Waiting does not query the database. This is a true periodic
obligation, so enabled backups still recur; it is not an empty-queue
polling removal or a claim of measured savings.

This existing slice now follows the merged import-spool parent #17835
and targets master. Merge authorization and exact-head CI/review gates
are tracked separately.

## What Changed

- Add a small backup scheduling owner using the existing coordinator and
scheduler.
- Replace the automatic-backup interval in startup. Register only when
backups are enabled, independently of heartbeat scheduling.
- Preserve the existing backup executor, manual serialization, retention
reads, pre-sleep verification, restart marker and host-sleep gates.
- Test deadlines, drain/standby, failures, busy-owner skips, slow
attempts, restart and shutdown. Update startup-marker tests to exercise
the registered deadline.
- Record the audit and update inventory item 15. No schema or backup
format changes.

## Verification

- Current source acceptance: **130 passing cases in four complete
files**, no skips: backup worker, startup checkpoints, scoped deadline
work and delivery coordinator. Database build, production server
typechecking/build, module boundaries, target migration order and Runner
profile identity pass.
- Runtime and all four selected test sources are byte-identical to
accepted source `11775eee7ed795b989cbb31052e69643c468c3cf` after normal
parent reconciliation. The parent carries the tool-access test-order
repair; it changes no backup behavior.
- Historical broader checks and the real JavaScript backup/restore
probe, including their intermediate failures and limits, remain in [the
backup audit](doc/plans/2026-10-26-database-backup-sleep-schedule.md).
They are not claimed as repeated current-head acceptance.
- No full local repository-suite, deployed suspend/wake, pg_dump, live
provider or cost-savings claim. Final-head CI, security, Greptile 5/5
and any actionable Ponytail findings remain separate merge gates.

## Risks

- Enabled backups still require periodic database and disk work. This
change centralizes the deadline; it does not reduce backup frequency or
establish deployed cost savings.
- The backup engine has no AbortSignal contract. Coordinator stop joins
an active scheduled backup, so a stalled backup can delay graceful
shutdown. Bounded backup cancellation remains separate work.
- Restart still starts a new ordinary interval; it does not replay
historical slots. The existing pre-sleep marker still requests an
immediate verified restart backup and persists on failure.
- A due backup waits during drain or standby and retries on the next
coordinator attempt after admission reopens, within one configured
interval.
- The internal deadline is not a persisted Cloud alarm. Existing
scheduled-backup and checkpoint sleep gates remain unchanged. The real
probe qualifies the JavaScript engine only, not pg_dump or deployed
shutdown latency.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex (GPT-6-based coding agent). Repository inspection, ordinary
Git merges, source-composition proofs and local lifecycle tests were
used for this reconciliation. No subagents were used in the current
merge campaign.

c8b7afee06 fix(server): schedule native environment lease settlement (#17801)
<!-- entire-trail-link-start -->
https://entire.com/gh/paperclipai/-/trails/24/changes/paperclip/24
<!-- entire-trail-link-end -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and the resources used by their work.
> - Native run completion has several independent settlement duties.
> - The recurring run reaper repeated environment-release discovery for
completed native history.
> - Existing lease rows already record releases that still need work.
> - This pull request wakes the existing release owners from committed
changes and schedules only unfinished release debt.
> - Completed history becomes quiet while stop evidence, workspace
preservation, and retention policy keep their existing owners.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #17793, #17717.

**What problem does this solve?**

Periodic native finalization replay calls environment release even when
no lease needs work. This adds recurring database traffic to an idle
instance.

**What is the proposed solution?**

Register one scoped worker on the existing delivery coordinator.
Discover work from native finalizations and existing environment leases.
Wake it from native, lease, and settings transactions. Keep the release
owner's saved pending-cleanup deadlines. Keep retries only while a
concrete lease still needs settlement.

**What alternatives have you considered?**

A slower unconditional scan still queries idle history. A new job table
duplicates existing lease truth. Replacing the compound callback would
also change runtime-service and agent-status duties; those remain
separate slices.

This is slice 58. Parent #17793 has merged. This publication targets
master and preserves that landed prerequisite. Fresh current-head checks
and review remain required.

## What Changed

- Keep ordinary company-only finalization hints out of environment
settlement. Prove zero candidate SQL after quiet and preserve real lease
delivery.

- Reuse the existing durable destroy claim for run-owned cleanup,
excluding concurrent attempts and fencing late receipts while preserving
cleanup recovery.

- Scope lease cleanup notifications to their company/run so settlement
does not rediscover the entire backlog after each release.

- Read only `nativeWorkspaceSync` and `workspaceExportRetry` JSON fields
when discovering environment cleanup. Preserve saved run data and
existing release decisions.

- Reuse the environment runtime's release predicate for discovery. Add
no table or independent timer.
- Wake from existing finalization, projection, lifecycle, recovery,
lease, and settings transaction boundaries. Simple lease acquisition now
uses a transaction too.
- Preserve recorded retention policy, pending-cleanup deadlines,
original lease/provider ownership, and current release guards.
- Re-read durable lease state after a release. A logged or swallowed
per-lease failure does not discharge the obligation.
- Delegate only periodic environment release. Preserve default
live/manual behavior, runtime-service release, and agent-status
callbacks.
- Add an owner/producer/lifecycle audit and real database tests.

## Verification

Accepted production source: `9596fa022b57feea026c4728c80bdc36037b804f`.
Publication head: `fb252c8b0e52ce355e7d98db2e392e4831f99c61`. The actual
parent squash is adopted by a normal merge with the complete accepted
child tree unchanged. Only audit text follows.

- **4,172 distinct cases in 64 complete server files pass**, plus **20
selected chat cases** (4,192 selected total). The main batch reports
3,440 passes and 49 skips. Both complete Stop/read files then pass 51 +
6 cases on separate fresh databases through their supported override.
Their eight pure cases are counted once; skipped cases are never counted
as passes. Separate process recovery passes 410; review response passes
273. The other 1,794 chat cases were not run locally.
- **Quiet producer proof:** the controlled unscoped baseline fails with
three candidate SELECTs after three routine company-only hints. The
scoped case performs zero, releases a real eligible committed-run lease,
and returns to quiet. The same test hash spans red and green.
- **Static gates pass:** database build; server typecheck/build; module
boundaries; migration order; current Copilot profile identity. Packages
equal the accepted parent byte for byte.
- **Fresh fixtures:** 39 prepared PostgreSQL 17 databases plus fresh
helper-owned databases. The schema has all 412 journal entries through
index/tag 0413_tired_kronos. All 65 original test hashes restore
exactly; the indirect Stop fixture is also hashed. No assertion or
timeout changes.
- **Preserved records:** original 49 skips and their completed coverage
remain documented. Parent handoff timeout and prior chat-idle failure

Fresh CI, security, and exact-head Greptile 5/5 must pass before merge.

<details><summary>Earlier revision verification and failure
history</summary>

Receiver failure fairness: a controlled 1,100 ms batch reproduced a
30-second delay for healthy due receivers. The worker now supplies its
existing per-item deadline through `nextRunAtOnError`. All 20 receiver
lifecycle tests pass on the owner and combined tip
`31c12f1d68ff4a51e06fc2be2abf2c2aee9f9d3a`; server production
typechecking passes on the owner. The failed receiver retains its own
backoff, and settled receivers return to zero recurring SQL. The
five-second assertion budget is unchanged. See [the owning
audit](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/6f3a0b8de149fb5620f15909473eb7c4455b9824/doc/plans/2026-10-25-chat-receiver-discovery-sleep-audit.md#healthy-receiver-progress-after-a-slow-failed-batch).
Current-head CI and review remain required.

Approved delegated Test-tab calls now evaluate caller and target
policies in the existing claim transaction. Real HTTP regressions first
showed a missing caller charge and shared-limit self-rejection. All 78
connection-management cases and 92 gateway cases now pass on the owning
branch, along with server production typechecking. All 78
connection-management cases also pass at combined tip
`d25f830db89c1623bff3547bfc68015c1c66e0cf`. The three new cases cover
shared charges, separate charges, rollback on denial, duplicate
approval, and rejection of a later authorized call. Intermediate
counter/identity fixture failures and a reused-database Slack collision
are recorded in [the owning

The earlier combined checks below remain evidence for their stated

Inherited voice-cleanup verification: the controlled slow-provider
regression and all 13 lifecycle tests passed on its owner and combined

the fixture clock advancement and its audit note.

Current head: `6f3a0b8de149fb5620f15909473eb7c4455b9824`. This remains a
single-duty PR stacked on #17793.

- Integrated pinned master `8548173fc9efdc0fa07644fb92dcc0b6851a95e5`

ran the full repository suite.
- Real master-to-stack database upgrade passes: **379 unchanged prior
migration receipts plus 25 new migrations**, with the gateway
responsibility fixture preserved.
- Owning-branch checks: 84 runner installation/settlement cases plus
runner typechecking and generated TypeScript/Rust profile agreement; 253
GitHub review workflow cases. Stop-attribution and held-worker readiness
regressions failed before their fixes.
- Failure accounting: the initial combined run passed 349 cases and
failed six idle assertions in a reused preservation database containing
old cancelled runs. Repeating the combined command with a fresh
preservation database passed. Earlier invalid project selection, merge
import/type errors, and the interrupted full local suite are not counted
as passing checks.
- **Latest-head CI and review remain required.** Prior CI findings
include GitHub idle observation, route teardown, attention cleanup,
touch-picker E2E, workspace health, and voice-cleanup timing; local
passes do not erase those failures. No full local repository-suite,
deployed sleep, fleet cost, or live Copilot qualification claim is made.

## Risks

- Existing lease owners retain destruction claims, provider identity,
stop evidence, retention policy, and pending-cleanup deadlines.
Incorrect changes here can release a live resource or lose a cleanup
obligation.
- Logged or swallowed release failures remain concrete debt. Real
retries must retain their saved floor across unrelated hints.
- In-process signals do not cover independent SQL or other replicas
without ingress.
- This delegates only periodic environment settlement. Runtime-service
and agent-status duties remain separate. Existing Cloud blockers remain;
no deployed sleep, database suspension, external alarm coverage, or cost
savings is claimed.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, code execution, real
PostgreSQL tests, and GitHub tools. The exact runtime model identifier
and context-window size are not exposed in this session.

829f9e7eaf fix(server): settle Muse terminal assignments from committed changes (#17793)
<!-- entire-trail-link-start -->
https://entire.com/gh/paperclipai/-/trails/12/changes/paperclip/12
<!-- entire-trail-link-end -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Its external-agent module owns Muse assignments, operation receipts,
and worker holds.
> - Running assignments and retained terminal history must not cause an
empty maintenance scan every five seconds.
> - Terminal run changes and operation results already have durable
database transactions.
> - This pull request wakes the existing maintenance worker from those
commits and reconstructs work at startup.
> - The worker retries only concrete settlement debt. It retains
qualification deadlines and authority checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #17772. This is slice 57. Parent #17772 has merged.
Related: #17000, #17525, #17752, #17758. The publication targets master
and preserves the merged parent.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Muse terminal assignment settlement and the existing Muse maintenance
worker.

**Current behavior**

A running assignment can keep maintenance scanning every five seconds.
Terminal reconciliation rewrites unchanged history. Native finalization
also calls that reconciliation during periodic replay. Discovery
excludes a revoked original binding even when its assignment still needs
settlement.

**Proposed behavior**

Committed run changes and operation receipts wake the existing worker
with the original company, run or binding identity. Startup reconstructs
actionable work from existing rows. Maintenance processes bounded
batches and disarms after settlement. Default live and manual callbacks
remain. The periodic callback delegates this one duty.

**Reason and benefit**

Configured but idle instances stop querying for this obligation. Late
receipts, restarts, drain and historical bindings still have recovery
paths. No table or independent timer is added.

**Breaking changes**

No schema, endpoint or provider protocol changes. Explicit manual
reconciliation retains its unbounded default. This does not alter Cloud
sleep admission or claim that all instance work can sleep.

## What Changed

- Add an owner predicate shared by discovery and locked settlement.
Fenced private-worker uncertainty remains held without an automatic
retry loop.
- Preserve original binding generation and company/agent/run identity,
including revoked bindings. Fence only the terminal assignment during
reconciliation.
- Extend existing maintenance with scoped hints, bounded batches,
concrete-debt retry, startup reconstruction and quiet drain behavior.
- Register notifications inside existing terminal, projection,
cancellation, operation-result and send-failure transactions. Keep
qualification and OAuth signals explicitly global when coalesced with
scoped changes.
- Serialize only four domain IDs. Real native-finalizer tests caught and
prevent a circular-object serialization failure at this boundary.
- Use existing restore/worktree suppression and settings reactivation.
Delegate both periodic finalizer branches while retaining resource
callbacks and default live/manual settlement.
- Add the producer audit and regression evidence in
`doc/plans/2026-10-26-muse-terminal-settlement-sleep.md`.

## Verification

Accepted production source: `584015018ed4a9d57d2b0f192b75847503b54e53`.
Publication head: `305014b030d6c5eb891c70bc57036f4192d4fdad`. Normal
adoption of the actual parent squash preserves the complete accepted
child tree. Only audit text, a migration-count clarification, and the
proved Photon test extension follow.

- **3,715 distinct cases in 52 complete server files pass**, plus **20
selected chat cases** (3,735 selected total). The main 49-file batch
passes 3,008; process recovery passes 410; review response passes 273;
the full Photon file passes 24. The other 1,794 chat cases were not run
locally.
- **Quiet producer proof:** moving only the Muse fanout outside its
parent guard produces six candidate SELECTs and fails the regression.
Keeping the guard yields zero and still settles a real terminal run. The
same test hash spans the controlled red/green pair.
- **Photon review evidence:** repeated active callbacks produce zero
settlement hints/candidate SQL. Three concurrent attention recoveries
produce exactly one of each. The existing locked attention guard was
correct; production needed no fix. The parent security check accepted
the resolved finding before merge. This PR keeps the additional
settlement queue in the existing regression.
- **Static checks pass:** database build; server typecheck/build; module
boundaries; migration order; current Copilot identity. Packages equal
the accepted parent byte for byte. No new live provider qualification is
claimed.
- **Fixtures and failures:** 34 fresh PostgreSQL 17 fixtures have 412
applied migration receipts through tag 0413_tired_kronos, plus fresh
per-call helper fixtures. All 52 original test hashes restore exactly.
The additional Photon test hash matches its passing proof. Earlier
remote chat passive-idle failure remains recorded; both passive/missing
cases pass in the new selection. Parent handoff timeout/fresh-file-pass
accounting remains in its audit. No assertion or timeout was weakened.
- [Integration and quiet producer
audit](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/305014b030d6c5eb891c70bc57036f4192d4fdad/doc/plans/2026-10-26-muse-terminal-settlement-sleep.md#current-master-integration-and-quiet-producers-2026-10-29).

## Risks

- In-process signals do not capture independent SQL or other replicas.
Supported external events still need ingress.
- Pending assignments and operation receipts retain their original
binding identity. A new agent configuration cannot take their ownership.
- Genuine qualification, OAuth, and recovery deadlines remain
obligations. They must not be discarded merely to make the worker quiet.
- The parent coarse-hint guard prevents recurring Muse discovery; real
company/binding authority changes retain their signals.
- No full local repository suite, full chat suite, live Muse or Copilot
qualification, deployed sleep, database suspension, external alarm
coverage, or cost savings is claimed. Existing Cloud blockers remain.

4d0847c4ca fix(server): settle external conversations from committed work (#17772)
<!-- entire-trail-link-start -->
https://entire.com/gh/paperclipai/-/trails/6/changes/paperclip/6
<!-- entire-trail-link-end -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and the tasks that they execute.
> - External conversations must become idle after an authorized response
is published and all related work is complete.
> - Native replay and stranded-task recovery still discover this
settlement work through recurring scans.
> - A new deadline worker must preserve response ordering, monitor
handoffs, and unfinished work.
> - This pull request gives settlement one shared readiness predicate
and activates its worker from committed changes.
> - Existing rows provide recovery truth. No new table or per-feature
timer is added.
> - The benefit is a settlement worker that becomes quiet and resumes
when relevant work changes.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17758. This is slice 56. Slice 55 has merged. Related: #17606
(chat milestones), #17663 (bounded run reads), #17665 (monitor proof),
and #13809 (answered Slack conversation lifecycle). The provider
applicability remains Slack and Speko-owned conversations. This does not
extend Telegram settlement from #16559.

**What happened?**

Conversation settlement depended on periodic native replay and generic
task recovery. An exhausted monitor also cleared its schedule before
recovery admission. During that gap, an answered conversation could look
finished. Failed or deferred admission lost the monitor schedule.

**Expected behavior**

Relevant committed changes activate settlement. The worker uses the
owning service's evidence and becomes quiet when no settlement is owed.
Monitor recovery stays pending until admission, and restart does not
admit an already accepted recovery twice.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create an active external conversation with a successful run and an
authorized published response.
2. Keep execution, approval, a goal, or a monitor pending. Let the
settlement worker become quiet.
3. Resolve that prerequisite through its owning service. Verify that the
conversation settles without another periodic sweep.
4. Delay or fail exhausted-monitor recovery admission. Verify that the
monitor remains pending and the conversation cannot settle during the
handoff.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Accepted production source: `50f4432ed88537b8d522cf1dce24c33588db0bac`.
Parent #17758 merged as `8ac5a128e66fb672e88106412f76cf278599bfc4`. The
publication adopts that actual squash through a normal merge with an
unchanged complete child tree.

## What Changed

- Preserve quiet after coarse company-only maintenance hints. The shared
inbound-notice and response-availability helpers keep settlement enabled
by default. Only the milestone dispatcher suppresses their duplicate
settlement fanout. Its scoped issue-review signal and the explicit
company-authority signal still wake real work. Four database cases prove
both quiet and real company-wide producer delivery.
- Preserve source-generation checks for chat handoff,
task-before-comment locking, issue-scoped decision invalidation, and
current conversation event columns from master.
- Track initial external conversation settlement through shutdown
without blocking HTTP readiness on endpoint or task locks.

- Reuse the real queue's coalesced recovery receipt after restart,
without admitting the same monitor recovery again.

- Share the existing conversation readiness predicate between bounded
discovery and locked settlement. Preserve current provider policy,
run/publication proof, company boundaries, and endpoint-to-issue lock
order.
- Register a scoped deadline worker through the delivery coordinator.
Preserve startup, restore/worktree suppression, drain/resume, failure
recovery, and joined shutdown.
- Extend existing review, milestone, wake-notice, and finalization
signals. Add notifications at independent issue, comment, goal, session,
and wake-receipt unblocks.
- Keep monitor owner recovery pending until guarded admission. Reuse an
accepted receipt for the same monitor schedule after restart, even when
its limit reason changes; retain compatibility with legacy receipt keys.
Commit board escalation and its monitor clear together.
- Delegate periodic native settlement while preserving resource
callbacks. Keep direct/manual defaults and preserve generic recovery
ordering with a read-only readiness guard.
- Add the producer and lifecycle audit in
`doc/plans/2026-10-26-external-conversation-settlement-sleep.md` and
update the stack ledger.

## Verification

Accepted production source: `50f4432ed88537b8d522cf1dce24c33588db0bac`.
Publication head: `b256bb52647affd9f5279ea8c40f48bbe40f031f`.
The complete accepted child tree stays unchanged when adopting merged
parent #17758. This publication adds only the audit document.

- **3,129 distinct cases in 37 complete server files pass**, plus **18
selected chat-response cases** (3,147 selected cases). The other 1,796
chat cases were not run locally. Full settlement, queue, scheduling,
run-state, goals, interactions, task Retry, decision targets, status
reassessment, workspace, process recovery, and review consumers are
covered.
- **Preserved failure:** the first 35-file command passed 2,445 cases
and timed out one restored-work handoff at its existing 15-second limit.
That aggregate command failed. The unchanged full 89-case actions file
then passed on a fresh fixture; the affected case took 22 ms. Root cause
was not established. No timeout or assertion changed. The 34 other files
passed originally. Distinct counts exclude duplicate actions passes.
Fresh CI remains a separate gate.
- **Indirect wake regression:** the original unconditional baseline
failed two quiet checks. Guards alone left the chat case failing with
three candidate queries. The final controlled indirect baseline fails
one of four cases; the repair passes all four with the same test hash.
Positive controls preserve real company-only producers.
- **Source and fixture controls:** all 38 selected test files restore to
their exact committed hashes after fixture imports. Fresh PostgreSQL 17
fixtures use 413 migrations. All five manual merge resolutions preserve
current authority, locking, and event-column contracts.
- **Static checks pass:** database build; server typecheck and build;
module boundaries; migration order; Copilot profile identity. Runner
packages equal the accepted parent byte for byte. No new Runner/package
qualification is claimed.
- [Current integration and wake
audit](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/b256bb52647affd9f5279ea8c40f48bbe40f031f/doc/plans/2026-10-26-external-conversation-settlement-sleep.md#current-master-integration-and-indirect-wake-audit-2026-10-29).
Latest-head CI and exact-head Greptile 5/5 must pass before merge.

stack migrations follow master’s new migration.
- Duty-specific producer coverage, lifecycle tests, and earlier failure
records:
[2026-10-24-recurring-server-sleep-stack.md](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/d6d8e4ffa6b330ebf4647aec997ee2dde6abc321/doc/plans/2026-10-24-recurring-server-sleep-stack.md),
[2026-10-26-external-conversation-settlement-sleep.md](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/d6d8e4ffa6b330ebf4647aec997ee2dde6abc321/doc/plans/2026-10-26-external-conversation-settlement-sleep.md).
- Combined tip `51e6cbe67979b55b340ea9f0f434c5b5c682ccd6`: **355
startup/cancellation/recovery/dispatch/preservation tests**, **75
connection-management tests**, and production server typechecking pass.
These combined checks do not mean every intermediate PR independently
ran the full repository suite.
- Real master-to-stack database upgrade passes: **379 unchanged prior
migration receipts plus 25 new migrations**, with the gateway
responsibility fixture preserved.
- Owning-branch checks: 84 runner installation/settlement cases plus
runner typechecking and generated TypeScript/Rust profile agreement; 253
GitHub review workflow cases. Stop-attribution and held-worker readiness
regressions failed before their fixes.
- Failure accounting: the initial combined run passed 349 cases and
failed six idle assertions in a reused preservation database containing
old cancelled runs. Repeating the combined command with a fresh
preservation database passed. Earlier invalid project selection, merge
import/type errors, and the interrupted full local suite are not counted
as passing checks.
- **Latest-head CI and review remain required.** Prior CI findings
include GitHub idle observation, route teardown, attention cleanup,
touch-picker E2E, workspace health, and voice-cleanup timing; local
passes do not erase those failures. No full local repository-suite,
deployed sleep, fleet cost, or live Copilot qualification claim is made.


</details>

## Risks

- Signals cover supported in-process writers. They do not supply change
capture for independent SQL or other replicas.
- Real company-wide changes can inspect active candidates. Coarse
maintenance hints do not activate settlement. Configured idle and
retained history must remain quiet.
- Monitor receipt binding and admission order must preserve company,
agent, issue, and exact schedule identity. Current parent handoff locks
and source-generation checks remain intact.
- The local restored-work timeout is retained above. A fresh full-file
pass does not establish its cause; latest-head CI must also pass.
- Generic recovery and Muse/resource duties remain separate slices. This
does not make the whole server idle. Existing Cloud sleep blockers
remain. No deployed sleep, database suspension, external alarm coverage,
fleet cost, or live provider qualification claim is made.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, code execution, PostgreSQL
tests, and GitHub tools. The exact runtime model identifier and
context-window size are not exposed in this session.

8ac5a128e6 fix(server): resolve native finalization notices from committed wakes (#17758)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native finalization can commit before its recovery notice is
resolved.
> - The periodic orphan pass revisits committed runs to resolve those
notices.
> - Retained completed history should not require repeated discovery.
> - This PR moves that one duty to transaction wakes and concrete
failure retries.
> - Existing notice rows reconstruct work after restart. The action
service still owns resolution.
> - Other completion and resource duties keep their current recovery
paths.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17752 (stack parent: committed run projection), #17748
(accepted-result commit), and #17734 (workspace finalization). These are
distinct recovery obligations. This slice incorporates parent #17752 at
`a49a2dac13b0e1c19da5d3d6b435c781703b1c0b`, now merged as
`50fe32684d2d4e1db129e3c1bb455571344a0c09`. Related #17724 retires
obsolete exact-session notices for terminal runs with no result and
preserves their replay hold. This slice resolves notices after a result
committed; it does not change that no-replay policy.

**Current behavior**
Committed native finalization recovery repeatedly inspects active
watchdog notices. A notice can also be updated in place to describe a
different run, so resolving a previously selected ID alone is unsafe.

**Proposed behavior**
Wake a scoped worker from relevant committed writes. Reconstruct active
finalization notices at startup. Resolve only the current notice after
the native owner rechecks its binding under lifecycle locks. Stop
scheduled work when no matching obligation remains.

**Reason and benefit**
Notice recovery becomes quiet after settlement and reacts to real
changes without a polling delay. Reused notices remain attached to their
current incident. This does not claim that every remaining server duty
or the host can sleep yet.

## What Changed

- Track the initial recovery-notice sweep through shutdown without
blocking HTTP readiness on task locks.
- Require issue/run scope for ordinary finalization fanout. Routine
company-only hints leave dormant notices quiet; dedicated owner and
explicit settings signals retain their scopes.

- Extract the native finalization notice predicate and resolution owner.
Keep the existing recovery-action service responsible for writing the
resolution.
- Bind candidates by company, issue and run. Require a committed result
and an active or escalated finalization notice. Exclude held ownership,
pending status effects and unfinished run projection.
- Recheck coordinator, issue, run and matching actions under locks. A
newer incident cannot be resolved from a stale candidate snapshot.
- Use the shared scoped worker, transaction signals, retry backoff and
lifecycle handling. Add no table, per-feature timer or provider branch.
- Signal action insertion, update, supersession and resolution;
finalization and effect changes; run projection and ownership release;
issue changes; settings activation; and the recovery route that reopens
an action.
- Preserve no-op resolution quiet. Serialize only the three supported
notification IDs, even when a caller supplies a larger internal object.
- Delegate only notice resolution from the periodic path. Keep
manual/default finalization and other completion/resource work.
- Add real PostgreSQL producer, concurrency and lifecycle coverage and a
detailed audit.

## Verification

- Current local source `730e00a7b007a36d188ca0a328ef050d3a25d1ee`
incorporates the parent with a normal merge. All 1,209 parent-only,
eight owned-only and 12 automatic shared paths are preserved. The two
manual paths retain both chat import sets and scope the new notice
fanout. The entire package tree matches parent profile 80 byte-for-byte.
- Controlled real-database regression: original notice-only unscoped
fanout produces three candidate SELECTs for routine company hints. The
same zero-query assertion passes after restoring scoped fanout. The real
notice writer then creates and resolves an action for a committed run
and returns to quiet. Both phases restore production bytes exactly; the
22 cases outside this focused pattern are not counted as passing there.
- The complete main command passes **1,873 cases in 21 files**, without
skips, in 309.69 seconds. It includes all 23 notice-worker cases, full
presentation/ownership read coverage, 88 startup cases, and the
projection/result/physical-work consumers. Process recovery passes 410
in 163.54 seconds and external-chat response passes 273 in 53.48
seconds. Total complete-file acceptance: **2,556 cases in 23 complete
files**, with no skips. The additional focused chat selection passes 18
cases in 13.44 seconds; 1,796 unselected chat cases do not count. Total
selected passes: **2,574**. Normal merge
`a0f2b3f4348b078219a53d8cc135c84202ba505e` adopts actual parent ancestry
with this complete tested child tree unchanged.
- The chat selection covers the real reply/notice row-lock regression,
Slack and Telegram response recovery, current-authority denial cases,
exact canonical response binding and internal GitHub attachment
navigation. Other cases in the giant chat file remain unselected; this
is not full chat-suite acceptance.
- Production server typecheck, build, module boundaries, migration order
and source identity checks pass. Twenty dedicated PostgreSQL 17
databases use the unchanged migration 413 schema. Embedded-only
invocations use the existing fresh-per-call recovery helper. All
temporary imports restore exactly and all 24 selected test hashes match
after completion. No assertion or timeout is relaxed.
- Parent package acceptance remains applicable: 130 passing
installation/compatibility/transport cases, 22 installed ACPX/Grok
contract cases and 26 native-provider Rust cases. One existing opt-in
closed Pi snapshot case is skipped because its distribution root is
unset. This does not qualify a live provider.
- Failure history and scope are retained in
`doc/plans/2026-10-26-native-recovery-notice-sleep-audit.md`.
Current-head acceptance: all 57 checks are clean, including protected CI
and security. Greptile gives 5/5 on
`2a8777bbed8b1e10810e3d6d99aae3f25b4854ef`, with no actionable findings.
Prior scores do not substitute. No Ponytail verdict is present under the
authorized missing-review policy. No full local repository suite,
deployed sleep, expanded Cloud wake coverage or measured savings is
claimed.

## Risks

- Resolution takes coordinator, issue, run and action locks in the
native recovery order. Contention must preserve the current incident;
the real concurrent-upsert and competing-resolver cases exercise this
boundary.
- Process-local signals cover instrumented application writers. They do
not add support for independent SQL writers or replicas without
supported ingress. Startup reconstructs the existing durable rows.
- Completed finalization is not proof that external conversation
settlement, Muse reconciliation or physical cleanup finished. Those
obligations retain their owners and recovery paths.
- Discovery uses narrow keyset pages. No fleet benchmark, host
suspension or cost reduction is claimed. Cloud wake coverage remains
unchanged.
- Parent #17752 has merged. This PR targets master at
`50fe32684d2d4e1db129e3c1bb455571344a0c09`. Fresh current-head CI and
review must pass before the authorized protected merge.

50fe32684d fix(server): wake committed native run projection from durable changes (#17752)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A native run has separate result acceptance, task decision, run
status, and resource settlement steps.
> - A task decision can commit before its run status is saved.
> - Recovery currently revisits committed decisions through the periodic
orphan pass.
> - This PR gives the existing run projection repair its own
transaction-driven worker.
> - Existing records reconstruct unfinished work after restart.
Completed history becomes quiet.
> - Other completion and resource obligations keep their existing
recovery paths.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17748 (stack parent: accepted-result commit), #17734 (workspace
finalization), and #17717 (retained session cleanup). Related #17614
preserves terminal notifications. This slice is prepared on current
parent #17748 at `b2efdb2dbbbef5b2227ffa2bd2a9a6cfe3867fe2`; the parent
has merged as `28e38da7e6bdd6af4092dda56bc2be05bed47af5`.

**Current behavior**
The native recovery pass revisits committed decisions to repair the
heartbeat-run status and metadata. A crash between decision and run
writes creates real work, but periodic scanning also revisits retained
history.

**Proposed behavior**
Wake projection repair after committed producer changes. Reconstruct
mismatches on startup and settings activation. Retry concrete failures
through the shared scheduler. Keep the run projection before resource
settlement.

**Reason and benefit**
The repair worker performs no recurring SQL after its work settles. A
real decision, effect settlement, or ownership release reactivates it.
This is one worker migration; it does not establish host or database
suspension.

## What Changed

- Extract the existing projection predicate and write into their
native-runtime owner. The finalizer keeps initial metadata enrichment
and task decision authority.
- Discover accepted, committed, mismatched run projections with company,
issue and run bindings. Exclude pending status effects and held runner
ownership. Read narrow fields instead of whole result payloads.
- Use existing transaction hints, scoped delivery scheduling, failure
backoff and lifecycle handling. Add no tables or per-feature timers.
- Require issue/run scope for ordinary finalization fanout. Routine
company-only hints leave dormant projection quiet; explicit settings and
dedicated producer signals keep their existing contract.
- Connect finalization, pending effects, lifecycle status writes, issue
changes and worktree execution activation. Preserve outer transaction
commit and rollback behavior.
- Lock the current run before deciding which terminal event and
completion time to save. Concurrent live and recovery projection must
not announce the same transition twice.
- Delegate only already-committed projection from the periodic pass. Its
candidate scan uses the same pending predicate to defer remaining
consequences and cleanup until projection finishes.
- Add real PostgreSQL producer, race and lifecycle tests plus an owner
audit.

## Verification

- Current local source `a83b9449233a275176e637c765059f414305d7c1`
incorporates the parent with a normal merge. All 1,208 parent-only,
seven owned-only and ten automatic shared paths are preserved. The only
manual conflict keeps new projection fanout inside the ordinary
issue/run guard. The complete package tree matches parent profile 80
byte-for-byte.
- Controlled real-database regression: the original projection-only
unscoped fanout produces three candidate SELECTs for routine company
hints. The same zero-query assertion passes with scoped fanout. A real
committed result then repairs the run and emits one terminal event
before returning to quiet. Production bytes restore exactly in both
phases. Twenty cases outside that focused pattern are not counted as
passing there.
- The complete main command passes **1,830 cases in 19 files**, without
skips, in 301.14 seconds. It includes all 21 projection cases, 85
startup cases, required quality review and heartbeat run lifecycle, plus
physical-work and result-commit consumers. Separate process recovery
passes 410 in 163.58 seconds and external-chat response passes 273 in
53.26 seconds. Total: **2,513 distinct passes in 21 complete files**,
with no skips. Normal merge `d4b46fd29cb23126d556cc3aeb883e6b41f1a8a5`
adopts the actual parent squash with this entire tested child tree
unchanged.
- Production server typecheck, build, module boundaries, migration order
and source identity checks pass. Seventeen dedicated PostgreSQL 17
databases use the unchanged migration 413 schema. Embedded-only calls
use the existing fresh-per-call recovery helper. All temporary imports
restore byte-exact and all 21 selected test hashes match after
completion. No assertion or timeout is relaxed.
- Parent package acceptance remains applicable: 130 passing
installation/compatibility/transport cases, 22 installed ACPX/Grok
contract cases and 26 native-provider Rust cases. One pre-existing
opt-in closed Pi snapshot case is skipped because its distribution root
is not configured. No live provider qualification is claimed.
- The owner audit at
`doc/plans/2026-10-26-native-run-projection-sleep-audit.md` retains
prior failures and their disposition. Current-head acceptance: all 57
checks are clean, including protected CI and security. Greptile gives
5/5 on `a49a2dac13b0e1c19da5d3d6b435c781703b1c0b`, with no actionable
findings. Old scores do not substitute. No Ponytail verdict is present
under the authorized missing-review policy.
- These checks do not claim a full local repository suite, deployed
suspension, expanded Cloud wake coverage or measured cost savings.

## Risks

- Process-local signals cover instrumented application writers.
Independent SQL writers and replicas without supported ingress are not
newly covered. Durable startup reconstruction remains enabled.
- Projection must precede remaining committed resource settlement. The
real reconciler test proves the periodic path defers cleanup while
projection is pending and resumes it after repair.
- Status decisions, external conversation settlement, watchdog
resolution, Muse reconciliation and resource release keep their own
authority and recovery. A committed result alone is not proof of
completed cleanup.
- Candidate discovery uses narrow bounded pages. There is no large-fleet
performance or deployed sleep claim. Existing Cloud wake coverage and
sleep blockers remain unchanged.
- Parent #17748 has merged. This PR targets master at
`28e38da7e6bdd6af4092dda56bc2be05bed47af5`. Current-head CI and review
must pass before the authorized protected merge.

28e38da7e6 fix(server): wake native result commits from durable work (#17748)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and preserves their results through
failures.
> - Native completion must save workspace output before it commits the
accepted result.
> - The orphan recovery pass repeatedly revisits this work even when the
subsystem is idle.
> - Accepted results, workspace receipts, retry dates and leases already
provide durable truth.
> - This PR wakes a scoped worker from those writes and schedules only
real unfinished work.
> - It preserves existing finalization authority and keeps later
projection and resource recovery separate.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17734 and #17717. This is slice 53 of the existing sleep stack,
targeting master after parent #17734 merged at
`a019d00a393b57f531afe8dd8ab0b8a1820d1c4c`.
A current search found no duplicate accepted-result commit PR.

**What problem does this solve?**
Native accepted-result recovery currently depends on periodic orphan
scanning. Quiet instances keep doing work to discover that no result
needs a commit.

**What improvement do you propose?**
Use the shared delivery coordinator with transaction-bound producer
signals. Reconstruct unfinished results at startup. Preserve saved retry
and lease deadlines. Remove only uncommitted-result execution from the
periodic pass.

**Why is this useful?**
The accepted-result worker becomes quiet with no work or retained
completed history. Real results and completed workspace operations
reactivate it without a polling delay. This does not claim that the
whole server or database can sleep yet.

## What Changed

- Track the initial result-commit sweep through shutdown without
blocking HTTP readiness on recovery locks.
- Keep ordinary company-only finalization hints from reconstructing
dormant result work. Existing company settings and dedicated owner
signals remain supported.

- Add a native result-commit worker. Bind candidates by company, issue,
run, accepted result and a successful workspace receipt. Exclude
committed, terminal, held and pending-effect work.
- Signal both accepted-result writers and workspace receipt writes
before their transaction changes. Extend the existing finalization
fanout for retry, lease, effect and completion transitions.
- Add an optional atomic due-date check to the existing finalizer claim.
A lease collision or later retry does not consume a failed attempt.
- Signal native retry cancellation so it removes the saved wake after
commit.
- Register through the existing heartbeat suppression and shared
delivery lifecycle. Preserve outer commit/rollback, drain/resume,
settings activation and shutdown behavior.
- Delegate only uncommitted-result execution from the periodic orphan
pass. Keep committed projection and resource settlement recovery
enabled.
- Add real producer/lifecycle tests and a detailed audit. No new tables,
provider branches or per-feature timers.

## Verification

- Current local source `2af88fa55f961a74340880240019f6cd31e21bf1`
incorporates the parent with a normal merge. All 1,203 parent-only, nine
owned-only and 12 automatic shared paths are preserved. The only manual
conflict keeps the new result fanout inside the existing ordinary
issue/run scope guard. The complete package tree matches parent profile
80 byte-for-byte.
- Controlled real-database regression: the original result-only unscoped
fanout produces three candidate SELECTs for routine company hints. The
same zero-query assertion passes after restoring the scoped fanout. A
real workspace receipt and accepted result then commit exactly one
decision and return to quiet. Red and green restore production bytes
exactly. Twenty cases outside the focused pattern are not counted as
passing there.
- The complete main selection passes **1,746 cases in 16 files**,
without skips, in 277.97 seconds. This includes all 21 result-worker
lifecycle cases and 82 startup cases, including held result recovery,
HTTP readiness and shutdown joining. Separate process recovery passes
410 cases in 162.42 seconds and external-chat response passes 273 in
53.41 seconds. Total: **2,429 distinct passes in 18 complete files**,
with no skips. Normal merge `998239b019defe52e7b5d64f884de4e871ccd736`
adopts the actual parent squash and preserves this complete tested child
tree.
- Production server typecheck, build, module boundaries, migration order
and source identity checks pass. Fifteen dedicated PostgreSQL 17
databases use the unchanged migration 413 schema. Embedded-only calls
use the existing fresh-per-call recovery helper. All temporary imports
restore byte-exact, and every selected test hash matches after
completion. No assertion or timeout is relaxed.
- Runner validation belongs to the unchanged parent package tree: 130
passing installation/compatibility/transport cases, 22 installed
ACPX/Grok contract cases and 26 native-provider Rust cases. One existing
opt-in closed Pi snapshot case is skipped because its distribution root
is not configured. This does not claim live provider qualification.
- Earlier Greptile 4/5 on `656f6722be1aedf3d52b7f853956e15838204278`
correctly identified startup blocking on result recovery. The prior
branch `108cf0dc8296bf451b721ddac55ecbcd035d00f0` already tracks its
ready promise through the existing lifecycle owner. Current full startup
acceptance verifies the fix in the merged context. The later Greptile
service error is not a pass; current-head acceptance now passes: all 57
checks are clean, including protected CI and security. Greptile gives
5/5 on `b2efdb2dbbbef5b2227ffa2bd2a9a6cfe3867fe2`, with no actionable
findings. No Ponytail verdict is present under the authorized
missing-review policy.
- The owner audit at
`doc/plans/2026-10-26-native-result-commit-sleep-audit.md` retains
earlier failures and their disposition. These checks do not claim a full
local repository suite, deployed app/database suspension, expanded Cloud
wake coverage or measured cost savings.

## Risks

- Process-local signals cover instrumented application writes in the
owning server process. They do not cover independent SQL writers or
another replica without supported ingress. Durable startup
reconstruction remains enabled.
- The initial native decision and its run projection are separate
transactions. The periodic reconciler still repairs already-committed
results and releases resources. This PR must not be used to infer that
committed means fully settled.
- Candidate discovery adds bounded, narrow reads at startup and after
signals. No large-fleet query benchmark is claimed.
- Existing Cloud alarm coverage, host sleep safety and resource blockers
are unchanged. No deployed sleep or savings claim is made.
- Parent #17734 has merged. This PR targets master at
`a019d00a393b57f531afe8dd8ab0b8a1820d1c4c`. Fresh current-head CI and
review remain required before merge.

a019d00a39 fix(server): wake native workspace finalization from committed work (#17734)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native runs can accept a result before workspace copy-back finishes.
> - The periodic orphan pass repeatedly tries this recovery, including
cases that require operator action.
> - Copy-back needs exact ownership evidence. A generic timer cannot
grant that authority.
> - This pull request wakes workspace recovery from committed changes
and local owner completion.
> - Saved retries use the existing scheduler. Empty work, completed
barriers, and operator holds become quiet.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17717. This is slice 52 of the recurring-server sleep stack,
targeting master after parent #17717 merged at
`4c56702e06c698cc10d4a86514669aba0f4d9a9b`. Related work: #17709 (status
reassessment), #17687 (unsafe export recovery), and #16478 (workspace
repair holds).

This PR covers native workspace copy-back and validation. Result
commit/projection and resource settlement remain separate recovery
duties. It does not claim full-instance sleep.

## What Changed

- Register a company/run/task-scoped workspace worker. Reconstruct
accepted, unfinished work from existing records. Use saved retry and
lease deadlines.
- Notify from both accepted-result writers (control-plane and PRP
coordinator), workspace receipts, coordinator changes, operator
confirmation, retained workspace repair, and relevant task updates.
Notifications follow the outer transaction.
- Distinguish active local ownership, busy external ownership, pending
Cloud evidence, operator-required evidence, and changed bindings. Only
concrete external ownership/evidence waits receive a scoped retry.
- Preserve advisory locks, signed stop proof, exact binding checks,
physical callback joins, and existing failure policy. Join physical
operations during shutdown.
- Respect the existing heartbeat execution-suppression policy before
discovery and execution; wake suppressed work on settings activation.
- Skip physical workspace recovery in the enabled periodic orphan pass.
Keep direct/startup reconciliation and the remaining result/cleanup
recovery paths.
- Keep routine company-only finalization hints quiet. Ordinary work
requires issue/run scope; explicit settings and owner-release events
keep their company-wide contract.
- Preserve the parent's entire Runner/package tree, profile 80 and all
historical identities. Add the dated obligation, producer, lifecycle and
limitation audit.

## Verification

- Current local source: `4059b24e3ea5c623be54ade18ec9b6ab78eb0289`,
prepared by a normal merge of the current parent. The sole manual
conflict keeps ordinary workspace fanout inside the existing issue/run
guard. All 1,198 parent-only, 15 owned-only and 10 automatic shared
paths are preserved. The complete package tree matches the parent
byte-for-byte.
- Controlled regression: the original workspace-only unscoped fanout
performs three candidate SELECTs for routine company hints. The same
zero-query assertion passes with scoped fanout. A real accepted result
then produces one successful workspace settlement and returns to quiet.
The failed baseline remains in the audit.
- The first complete local group passes **1,693 cases in 14 files**,
including all 19 workspace-worker cases. It covers both accepted-result
producers, physical ownership, export retry/failure, finalization
recovery, arbiter corpus, issue recovery actions, control-plane port,
workspace recovery, heartbeat recovery, startup, retained cleanup and
native execution.
- Separate process-recovery and external-chat response files qualify the
changed recovery/settlement paths without sharing their general test
database with other files. Both pass in full: 410 process-recovery cases
in 162.79 seconds and 273 external-chat cases in 53.79 seconds. The
total is **2,376 distinct passes in 16 complete files**, with no skips.
Normal merge `5c46c52873158529736b8349e4d44658865108ee` adopts the
parent squash with this entire tested child tree unchanged.
- Production server typechecking, build, module boundaries, migration
order and source-profile checks pass. Thirteen dedicated PostgreSQL 17
fixtures use the unchanged migration 413 schema. Embedded-only paths use
the existing recovery helper with fresh per-call fixtures. All temporary
imports are restored byte-exact. No test assertion or timeout is
relaxed.
- Runner validation belongs to the unchanged parent package tree: 130
passing installation/compatibility/transport cases, 22 installed
ACPX/Grok contract cases and 26 native-provider Rust cases. One existing
opt-in closed Pi snapshot case is skipped because its distribution root
is not configured. These are source-scoped checks, with no live provider
qualification claim.
- The owner audit at
`doc/plans/2026-10-26-native-workspace-finalization-sleep-audit.md`
preserves earlier failures and their disposition. Current-head
acceptance: all 57 checks are clean, including protected CI and
security. Greptile gives 5/5 on
`7df5c9c44ea9e171be3c61b4430d3727b10f3337` with no actionable findings.
Earlier scores do not substitute for this result. No Ponytail verdict is
present under the authorized missing-review policy.
- No claim of a full local repository suite, deployed app/database
sleep, expanded Cloud wake coverage or measured cost savings is made.

## Risks

- Supported wake producers are in-process application services. This
adds no cross-replica or independent SQL-writer transport.
- A real unresolved export still needs recovery. Busy owners and pending
Cloud stop evidence retain a 30-second scoped check. No timeout
authorizes copy-back.
- Result projection and resource release still use their existing
recovery. Some existing cleanup failures remain best effort; this PR
does not infer cleanup success from a workspace barrier.
- Cloud alarm coverage and host-sleep safety remain unchanged. No
deployed suspension or cost savings have been measured.
- Parent #17717 is merged. Current base is master at
`4c56702e06c698cc10d4a86514669aba0f4d9a9b`. Fresh current-head CI and
review must pass before this slice merges.

4c56702e06 fix(server): schedule retained native-session cleanup (#17717)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native runs can retain a local session after an interrupted durable
suspend.
> - The orphan reaper repeatedly scans completed history for that
cleanup duty.
> - Idle scans keep the database active. Removing them requires complete
wake and ownership paths.
> - This pull request moves retained-session cleanup to committed
signals, local release events and saved deadlines.
> - Existing physical proof checks still decide whether cleanup is safe.
The shared scheduler does not grant execution authority.
> - The benefit is quiet retained history with recoverable cleanup and
owned shutdown.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17709 and #18135. This is slice 51 of the existing
recurring-server sleep stack. Both referenced dependencies have merged.
The target is `master`.

**What happened?**

The periodic orphan pass scans retained native sessions even after their
cleanup is complete or no automatic action is safe. Some eligible
sessions also depend on a local session, environment lease or original
maintenance callback releasing ownership. An earlier decision
notification can be consumed before the run's later terminal projection
commits.

**Expected behavior**

Reconstruct existing work at startup. Wake from committed writes and
actual owner release. Register the saved claim expiry or a probe for a
specific live process. Stop recurring discovery when no obligation
remains. Preserve original callback ownership and all existing cleanup
proof checks.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Retain completed native runs with a durable-suspend close failure.
2. Let the periodic orphan pass run with no new work.
3. Observe repeated cleanup discovery. Separately, delay terminal
projection after its decision notification is consumed and observe the
missing cleanup wake.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Parent #17709 at reviewed head
`3b75f4bc1da1370304f069fc287af3d693575716`, landed as
`df6156c2e37f542a69f393dde31e357b82b7cac1`. Current integrated master:
`31b927e3013a8a4b3266854b740cf40a24753788`.

## What Changed

- Move scoped, paged discovery to the retained cleanup owner. Preserve
explicit manual recovery.
- Register the duty with the shared scheduler and remove it from the
periodic orphan pass. Keep concrete lease expiry and live-process probe
obligations.
- Use typed outcomes for settled/refused work and process, session,
environment, maintenance or lease waits. Keep physical proof and
quarantine decisions in the executor.
- Wake from committed finalization and terminal projection writes,
durable process/lease release, and local session or callback settlement.
Routine company-only finalization hints leave dormant cleanup quiet.
- Join duplicate cleanup and serialize inspections on one database lane.
Keep original Runner callbacks owned until settlement and shutdown.
- Preserve all master profile fixtures and the branch's historical
identities. Save the colliding sleep profile 79 separately. Generate
combined Copilot profile 80 from its source and retain master's other
provider profiles.
- Add the owner audit and regression coverage. No new table, migration
or independent maintenance timer is added.

## Verification

- Server acceptance: **2,342 distinct passing cases in 18 complete
files**. The 14-file unaffected group contributes 1,532 passes. Full
startup contributes 76, process recovery 410, environment service 51,
and external-chat response 273. The 29-case cleanup worker suite and
977-case executor suite run in full. No case in these files is skipped.
- Controlled scope regression: removing only the ordinary finalization
issue/run guard wakes dormant retained cleanup; the same assertion
passes after restoring it. A real local owner release still resumes the
durable candidate.
- Preserve the first broad failure: 1,607 passed and one startup
shutdown case failed because the coordinator mock lacked `stop()`. Add
only that mock method. All 76 unchanged startup cases then pass. Do not
treat the first broad command as green.
- Dedicated PostgreSQL 17 databases use the existing migration 413
schema. Embedded-only fixtures use the existing recovery helper with
fresh per-call databases. All temporary imports are restored byte-exact.
No assertion or timeout is relaxed.
- Current-master integration preserves both complete source histories.
The server, UI and database trees are identical to the server-tested
source. All master historical profile fixtures remain byte-exact. The
prepared sleep profile 79 remains independently inspectable.
- Current runtime validation at
`d08f764e3efe75e96929173afe7ee8739121ad9f` passes all 12 commands (22
installed ACPX/Grok contract cases and 26 native-provider Rust cases):
`pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --ignore-scripts`; Copilot/Grok identity
and generated profile checks; Runner and server typechecking; server
build; Copilot/Pi installation, profile compatibility and transport
settlement files (130 passed; one opt-in closed Pi snapshot case skipped
because its distribution root is not configured); installed ACPX
model/reconnect package contract and Grok identity tests; Rust
native-provider backend tests; module boundaries and migration order.
- Earlier 94-case installation/settlement acceptance applies to the
prepared profile 79 source. It is retained as history and does not
substitute for the current profile 80 validation above.
- Failure history and duty-specific evidence remain in
`doc/plans/2026-10-26-retained-native-session-cleanup-sleep-audit.md`.
Exact-current-head acceptance: all 60 checks are clean, including
protected CI and security; Greptile gives 5/5 for
`281d579de0d08e907194b8b790a0597b07d16b7b` with no actionable findings.
No Ponytail review is present under the authorized missing-review
policy.
- These checks do not claim a full local repository suite, live Copilot
or Daytona qualification, deployed host/database suspension, or measured
cost savings.

## Risks

- Missing a supported producer could strand cleanup. Tests exercise real
finalizer, heartbeat, environment and process writers. Process-local
signals cover in-process writers; no multi-replica or external SQL
notification transport is added.
- A timeout can leave an original callback active. Cleanup and shutdown
must keep waiting for it. The existing global maintenance drain is
conservative across roots.
- A retained live process still has a scoped 30-second absence probe. A
saved lease keeps its actual deadline. Operational errors retain retry
work. Immutable proof refusals and operator-required histories do not
gain automatic retry authority.
- Cleanup keeps all existing artifact, identity, claim, no-launch and
quarantine checks. Terminal status alone does not authorize physical
cleanup.
- This PR does not expand Cloud alarm coverage or relax host sleep
eligibility. It proves worker behavior, not deployed app/database
suspension.
- The Copilot source identity has changed; these checks do not claim new
live provider qualification.
- The parent has merged. This PR is merged only after its current-head
protected CI and review gates pass under the existing campaign
authorization.
