DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 18644a3263 feat(recovery): instrument 20 durable write boundaries with crash points (#19938)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A control-plane restart between two durable writes leaves an
in-progress record owned by a dead process
> - #19937 added `crashPoint(name)` and a registry of 20 named
boundaries from the Phase 0 inventory
> - A name without a call site cannot fire, so the crash-point suite
cannot test it
> - This pull request puts one call at each registered boundary and adds
a test that keeps the registry and the call sites in step
> - The benefit is that the on-demand suite (next pull request) can kill
the control plane at every known write-ahead gap

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19831 (plan, Phase 5). Refs #19846 (inventory, "Write-ahead
coverage"). Stacked on #19937 (helper and registry). Refs #19861
(ownable kind ids).

**Problem**
The registered crash points have no call sites.

**Expected behavior**
Each registered point is called at its gap: after the first durable
write or outside effect returns, before the next one starts. Disarmed
(always in production) each call is one comparison.

**Scope**
Call sites and a coverage test only. The suite runner and CI workflow
follow.

## What Changed

- Server call sites (`@paperclipai/shared/crash-points`):
- `sandbox-creation-operations.ts`: around the provider `create` call
(intent → provider → lease).
- `native-session-executor.ts`: after `native.process_start_requested`,
before spawn.
- `paperclip-control-plane-port.ts`: after the result-accept
transaction, before finalization starts (only when a result was
inserted).
- `native-run-finalizer.ts`: after `commitNativeStatusDecision`, before
the run projection.
- `workspace-operations.ts`: `workspace_finalize` only — after the
running row, and after `settle()` before the done row.
- `environment-runtime.ts`: provider release → lease row; teardown claim
→ destroy; reusable destroy → lease release; stop-and-retain claim →
stop.
- `heartbeat.ts`: lease release → runtime services; budget reservation
hold → dispatch.
- `heartbeat/queue.ts`: run claimed `running` → wake request `claimed`.
- `run-cost-accounting.ts`, `usage-receipts.ts`: accounting commit →
spool unlink; receipt spool → DB row → unlink.
- `packages/paperclip-runner/src/crash-point.ts`: a small copy of the
helper for controller code in this package, which does not depend on
`@paperclipai/shared` (adding that dependency would change the runner
content ID). It arms only `runner.*` names. runnerd never sees the
variable: its environment is an allowlist.
- Runner call sites: after the runnerd spawn, before its identity is
published (both spawn paths); `turn.start` result received → controller
journal saved → next send.
- `server/src/__tests__/crash-point-call-sites.test.ts`: every
registered point has a call site, every call names a registered point,
and every `kinds` entry is an ownable kind id of the Phase 1 registry.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/crash-point-call-sites.test.ts` → 3 passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` → clean. `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec tsc --noEmit -p .` → clean.
- Behavior with nothing armed is unchanged: each call returns at its
first comparison (measured in #19937: about 3.7 ns).

## Risks

- Low risk. No call changes control flow unless `PAPERCLIP_CRASH_POINT`
names it and `NODE_ENV` is not `production`.
- Points on the path before `turn.start` (process start, runner spawn)
cost nanoseconds, within plan invariant 8.
- `usage-receipts.ts`: the persist-then-unlink one-liner became a block
with the same statements in the same order.
- The runner package change gives the runner a new content ID, as any
runner source change does. No persisted run state changes
(rules/upgrade-safe-run-state.mdc).

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, via Claude Code with
tool use (shell, file edits) and a read-only exploration subagent that
mapped the boundaries.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 9f0ebf6f70 fix(accounting): close a run whose turn was lost on restore, and stop succeeded runs holding all work (#19724)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Budgets hold new work while the cost of completed runs is unknown
> - In a restart chaos wave, a native ACPX Claude run crossed a server
kill, resumed, and succeeded. Its usage receipt never became complete.
> - For the 10-minute closure bound, admission refused all work in the
company. This included tasks that never crossed a fault.
> - This pull request fixes the receipt for a turn that was lost on
restore. It also stops a succeeded run from holding all new work.
> - The benefit: one late usage report no longer freezes a company, and
hard stops still apply.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19700 (the accounting closure bound that this follows).

**What happened?**
A native ACPX Claude run crossed a server SIGKILL in the middle of a
turn. The Runner restored the session, and the run succeeded 54 seconds
after it started. All 17 usage receipts stayed incomplete. Accounting
settled the run only at the 10-minute closure bound. During those 10
minutes, admission refused all company work with "Company cannot start
work while completed runs await accounting".

**Root cause**
ACPX reports provisional usage (`runDeltaComplete: false`) until a turn
ends. The kill lost the turn that was active, so that turn never got a
complete report. The restored Runner failed that turn with
`provider_turn_lost_on_restore`. Native turn accounting
(`createNativeTurnAccounting`) required every terminal turn to have
usage, so this turn kept every later receipt incomplete. This was true
even after the continuation turn completed with full usage. The
admission gate then counted the succeeded run as a pending terminal run
for the whole company.

**Expected behavior**
The receipt closes when the run's turns end. A turn that was lost on
restore makes the usage a lower bound. A succeeded run with only usage
outstanding does not hold other work.

## What Changed

- `native-usage-accounting.ts`: a turn that failed with
`provider_turn_lost_on_restore` and has no complete usage no longer
holds the receipt open. The snapshot marks `accountingUsageLost`.
- `native-session-executor.ts` and `native-usage-delivery.ts`: such a
receipt carries the provenance note "a provider turn was lost on restore
and never reported its usage; observed usage is a lower bound".
- `anthropic-pricing.ts` and `codex-pricing.ts`: the rate-card pricers
keep a producer's provenance note.
- `native-usage-delivery.ts` and `usage-receipts.ts`: remote producer
delivery keeps a `lostOnRestore` marker on the receipt's producer event,
so replay also excuses the lost turn. Receipts saved without the marker
still replay.
- `budget-exposure.ts` and `budgets.ts`: admission waits only for
pending runs that ended without succeeding (`waitingRunCount`). A
succeeded run whose provider reported observed usage is bounded like a
running run: its observed cost counts toward spend and reservation
capacity, and its settled charge can still reach the hard stop.
- `budget-exposure.ts`: a closure that timed out because of a
control-plane restart keeps the unpriced-usage exemptions, whatever its
token count. Restart evidence is a replaced receipt source, a native
recovery transition that is not an ordinary same-run retry, or a turn
lost on restore. A second chaos run showed the need. It recovered and
succeeded, but its final usage report was lost with the restart, so it
settled as unpriced 0 cents. The blocking policy then opened a hard
incident and paused the company. A timed-out closure with no restart
evidence still counts.
- `run-cost-accounting.ts`: a lost receipt that carries a positive
provider-reported cost settles at that cost as an estimate marked as a
lower bound, not as unpriced.
- `paperclip-runner-tool-authority.ts` and `budgets.ts`: a running run's
own tool mutations are evaluated as admitted work. Hard stops and pauses
still refuse them. Accounting holds, recovering runs and budget inputs
that await evaluation do not. In a third chaos run, a live run's write
to its task document was refused during a temporary hold, so the run
proposed a blocked result.
- `doc/SPEC-implementation.md`: documents these rules.

Policy choice: a succeeded run's provider work is over, so it has less
unknown spend than a running run. Running runs never held admission.
Failed, cancelled, timed-out and interrupted runs still hold new work,
because their provider may not have stopped. A per-agent gate would
still freeze unrelated work of the same agent. A per-reservation gate
does not help when `reservationCents` is 0, which was the case in this
wave.

## Verification

- Live: a restart chaos wave ran master plus this PR (c2a48fb1e0) with
no masking. It passed 6/6, and every task crossed a restart. There were
0 accounting holds, 0 refused agent writes, 0 company pauses, and every
cost settled as estimated.

- Red then green: `native-usage-accounting.test.ts`, "closes a run whose
earlier turn was lost on restore, as a lower bound". It uses the event
sequence of the chaos run.
- Red then green: `closed-native-receipt-accounting.test.ts`, "does not
hold other work for a succeeded run with only usage outstanding". It
also checks that the hard stop still applies.
- I changed "neither pauses nor holds admission while a succeeded run's
charge commits" to the new policy. A failed run in the same state still
holds new work.
- Red then green: `closed-native-receipt-accounting.test.ts`, "never
hard-stops a blocking policy for a restart-derived timed-out receipt".
It uses the zero-token row shape of the chaos run and a case with
unpriced tokens. Without the fix, the company was paused.
- Red then green: `runner-api.integration.test.ts`, "lets a running run
write during a temporary accounting hold, but not after a hard stop".
- Red then green: `closed-native-receipt-accounting.test.ts`, "does not
hold other work for the s7504 succeeded row shape".
- Red then green: `closed-native-receipt-accounting.test.ts`, "settles a
timed-out restart receipt at its provider-reported cost, without holding
or pausing". It uses the OpenCode/OpenRouter row shape from a fourth
chaos run.
- `anthropic-pricing.test.ts`: the rate-card provenance keeps the
lower-bound note.
- Local: `closed-native-receipt-accounting`, the budget suites,
`native-usage-accounting`, `native-usage-delivery.integration`,
`native-runner-restart-recovery.integration` and `anthropic-pricing` all
pass (187 tests). Server `tsc --noEmit` is clean. `pnpm verify` asks for
CI coverage because the spec changed.

## Risks

- A succeeded run whose final charge is higher than its observed cost
can let one more task start before the charge commits. The hard stop
then pauses the scope as it does for a running run that overruns.
- A run that includes a lost turn settles with a lower-bound usage
figure. The provenance says so, and a later receipt still reconciles
through the late-receipt path.

## Model Used

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 8a34c1b62c fix(budgets): bound the accounting hold so one missing receipt cannot wedge a company (#19700)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Pending run accounting holds new company work until it settles
(#19497, #19606, #19673)
> - A run settles only with closure evidence: a verified local stop, or
a terminated remote sandbox. Without that evidence it held the whole
company forever. In restart-chaos storm 4, a single run held 35 tasks
for hours
> - Two more shapes kept the hold alive. A run whose result had already
been accepted never counted as closed. A recovery that already owned its
held reservation was refused by other tasks' recovering accounting, so
concurrent recoveries waited on each other
> - This pull request bounds the hold, closes accepted-result runs on a
verified stop, and lets an owned recovery finish
> - The benefit is that no single missing receipt can wedge a company,
while genuinely unknown spend still surfaces under the blocking policy

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Follow-up to #19497, #19606 and #19673.

**What happened?**
- Storm 4: run `f879895f` timed out in `session.open`. Its local stop
was never verified (its process identity is still recorded), recovery
ended in `terminal_failure`, and its receipt never became ready. From
then on, every new-work wake got 409 "New work must wait while a native
run recovers its unfinished accounting". That was 93 refusals, 35
blocked tasks, and no Retry.
- Storm 4: run `6d3c76bf` was resuming as the recovery owner with its
own held reservation. `reserveRunBudget` refused it because other tasks'
runs were recovering.
- Wave s7401: run `0a3a849d` failed after its result was accepted, with
a verified local stop. It had 10 receipts across 2 sources, all
incomplete with 0 tokens. It stayed "completed runs await accounting"
because closure only covered coordinators in terminal failure with no
result.

**What did you expect?**
A run without closure evidence holds new work only for a bounded time,
then settles visibly. An accepted-result run with a verified stop closes
like a terminal failure. A recovery that already owns admitted work can
finish.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Restart the control plane during several native turns so that one
run's local stop is never verified.
2. Observe the run stay "recovering" and every new wake refused
indefinitely.

## What Changed

- `run-cost-accounting.ts`:
- A coordinator counts as settled when it ended in terminal failure
without a result, or when it has an accepted result. The verified-stop
and remote-termination closures use that rule, which covers the s7401
shape.
- A native run whose provider never started settles at once, like a
pre-provider failure, with no charge and its reservation released. Its
recovery has settled, no usage receipt was ever journaled (a provider
turn journals one as soon as it starts), and its local process never
launched or was verified stopped (wave s7403, run 3c1d7b70,
`session.open` timeout).
- New bound `ACCOUNTING_CLOSURE_TIMEOUT_MS`: the remote runner reconnect
grace (7 minutes) plus 3 minutes. A terminal native run with a settled
coordinator and no closure evidence settles at the bound:
- its known usage is recorded as unpriced (or estimated from the rate
card), with provenance evidence "closure evidence never arrived…";
    - it is marked `accountingClosureTimedOut`;
- a `cost.accounting_closure_timed_out` activity entry names the run.
- The reconciler selects these runs, and `readCostAccountingWork`
schedules a wake at the bound.
- `budget-exposure.ts`: a timed-out closure's final charge is exempt
from none of the unpriced-block exemptions. Under the `block` policy it
raises the normal budget notice ("recorded usage has no reliable price")
instead of a silent hold.
- `budgets.ts`, `budget-reservations.ts`,
`run-dispatch/adapters/postgres.ts`: when a validated recovery owner
continues admitted work, admission and both dispatch rechecks apply only
hard stops and pauses. Pending and recovering accounting holds still
gate new work.
- `doc/SPEC-implementation.md`: documents the bound, the accepted-result
closure and the provenance.

## Verification

- `closed-native-receipt-accounting.test.ts` (embedded Postgres). All of
these fail on master and pass here:
- s7401 shape (accepted result, verified stop, all receipts incomplete
with 0 tokens): settles and clears admission.
- A run without closure evidence: held before the bound with a scheduled
wake, then settled with the "closure evidence never arrived" provenance,
the `accountingClosureTimedOut` flag and an activity entry. Admission
clears under `allow`.
- Storm 4 `f879895f` shape (terminal failure, recorded process identity,
no stop event): held, then released after the bound.
  - The blocking policy still blocks on a timed-out closure.
- s7403 shape (no receipts, model unknown): a run whose process never
launched, or was verified stopped, settles at once with no charge and
its reservation released. With an unverified process it waits for the
bound.
- Storm 4 `6d3c76bf` shape: a recovery owner with its held reservation
reserves past another task's recovering accounting, while new work for
another task still waits.
- Existing suites pass locally: budget-enforcement-scoping,
budget-enforcement-worker, native-stop-accounting, cost-data-quality,
heartbeat-cost-accounting, run-cost-accounting, budgets-service. Server
typecheck passes.
- The other storm 4 terminal-failure runs (`2e477ae9`, `e4d2e14d`,
`6d3c76bf`, `7d21a44c`, `4bc49df0`, `1d85fbd9`) were already settled by
#19673 in that database (`cost_accounting_pending=false`) and were not
holding admission. `f879895f` alone held it.

## Risks

- After the bound, a run whose provider might still be running settles
as unpriced. Under the `block` policy that raises a hard-stop budget
notice, by design. Under `allow`, work continues and a late receipt
still reconciles.
- A recovery owner skips accounting holds, so concurrent recoveries can
spend while other tasks' accounting is unknown. Hard stops still apply,
consistent with best-effort budget enforcement.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, via Claude Code with
tool use (shell, file editing, embedded Postgres tests).

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 4938a930d6 fix(budgets): stop pending or restart-lost accounting from hard-stopping companies (#19497)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Budget admission and run accounting decide whether any task in a
company may start
> - A control-plane restart that kills a provider turn mid-flight can
lose that turn's final usage receipt. ACPX Claude reports usage only at
turn end, so the receipt never becomes complete
> - Accounting kept such a run "awaiting receipt" forever. Every later
admission in the company then refused with "completed runs await
accounting", and the budget evaluator opened a hard-stop incident that
paused the company. No product action could clear it: raising the budget
refuses while runs await accounting, accounting retry finds no new data,
and allowing unpriced usage does not apply to pending runs
> - Restart chaos waves showed this as a dead task Retry, a new task
blocked as "over budget" at 22 of 500 cents, and a hard stop that
cancelled queued Retries and an unrelated running task
> - This pull request closes the debt from evidence: once native
recovery reaches terminal failure and the provider stop is verified, the
known part settles as an unpriced charge. Until then the run holds new
work as recovering accounting, without a hard stop
> - The benefit is that a restart no longer bricks a company with a hard
budget. The operator's unpriced-usage policy decides admission, and
unknown spend still never shows as zero cost

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19399, #19426, #19431 (earlier restart Retry fixes; this is the
budget layer under the same journey).

**What happened?**
After a control-plane SIGKILL during an ACPX Claude turn, the killed run
ended `native_provider_terminal_failed` with
`usage_json.accountingReceiptReady = false` and `cost_accounting_pending
= true`. It stayed that way for good. The task Retry was accepted but
parked with `budget.blocked` ("Company cannot start work while completed
runs await accounting"), which the UI showed as "Retry is waiting for
execution checks". A new Codex task was escalated to `blocked` with "the
original recovery target is over budget" while the company had spent 22
of 500 cents. After the next restart the budget evaluator opened a
hard-stop incident (`amount_observed` 22.08 < 500), paused the company
and cancelled both queued Retries.

**What did you expect?**
A restart should not stop the company. Unknown usage from a stopped
provider should become an honest, operator-governed state, and Retry
should start a run.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Give a company a hard-stop budget.
2. Start an ACPX Claude task and SIGKILL the control plane mid-turn, so
the resumed turn fails.
3. Observe the run stay `cost_accounting_pending` with an incomplete
receipt, and every new admission refuse.

## What Changed

- `budgets.ts`: completed runs that await accounting now hold new work
only. They no longer open a hard-stop incident, pause the company, place
an agent budget hold, or deliver Stop to running work. Only spend at the
limit, or unpriced usage under a blocking policy, does that. Chaos wave
A and a pre-restart lifecycle cell showed the wedge: a run that had just
succeeded stayed terminal for about 100 ms before its charge committed,
the evaluator paused the company in that gap, and the Stop it delivered
left a cancelled run whose receipt never closed.
- `run-cost-accounting.ts`: a failed native run is a closed receipt
source only with positive stop evidence: its finalization is
`terminal_failure` with no result (not a finalization-deadline failure),
it no longer records a process identity, and its latest server-authored
process event is `native.local_process_stopped`. One SQL predicate
serves the reconciler scan and settlement. Accounting now settles its
known part as an `unpriced` charge instead of waiting forever. The
background reconciler selects these runs. The reservation settles. Other
incomplete receipts stay pending as before. A cancelled run keeps its
existing accounting drain, so Stop recovery can still deliver its final
receipt.
- `native-local-process-stop.ts` and its transactional callers:
releasing a verified local or remote process stop wakes the accounting
worker, so the closed debt settles promptly.
- `usage-receipts.ts`: a charge settled without its receipt is marked
`accountingReceiptUnavailable`. A later complete receipt that carries
its own price (including a rate-card price) corrects it. A receipt with
no own price and unchanged usage does not reopen the hold.
- `budget-exposure.ts`: the blocking unpriced-usage policy no longer
counts a charge settled from a lost receipt with no observed usage. That
is unknown, not "usage with no reliable price". Complete receipts that
report no tokens (for example Cursor Cloud) still count. A live wave
under the default policy hard-stopped its company at 0 of 500 cents on
one such charge.
- `budget-exposure.ts`: a terminal-failure native run with an
incomplete, not capture-failed receipt counts as recovering accounting.
Admission holds new work ("New work must wait while a native run
recovers its unfinished accounting") without a hard-stop incident, a
company pause or cancellation of running work.
- `recovery/service.ts`: the stranded-work comment names the actual
budget gate instead of always saying "over budget".
- `task-interruption-presentation.ts`: a Retry parked by
`budget.blocked` says it waits for the budget, not for "execution
checks".
- `doc/SPEC-implementation.md`: documents the closed-receipt contract
next to the existing incomplete-receipt rule.

## Verification

- New embedded-Postgres suite
`server/src/__tests__/closed-native-receipt-accounting.test.ts`, built
from the persisted shape of the killed run:
- Red before the fix: the run stayed pending, `reconcileRunCosts`
accounted 0, and admission refused with "completed runs await
accounting".
- Debt stays pending with no verified stop event, with a
finalization-deadline failure, with a recorded process identity, and
while the coordinator can still produce a result.
- Under a blocking policy, a lost receipt with no usage does not
hard-stop; one with tokens still blocks. A run with a still-recorded
process identity paused the company with a hard-stop incident.
- Green after: the stopped run settles as one `unpriced` charge with the
reservation settled; admission is clear under an `allow` policy and
names "no reliable price" under `block`; a run with a recorded process
identity or a non-terminal coordinator stays pending; the closing window
holds admission without an incident or pause; a final receipt that
arrives later still enters late-receipt reconciliation.
- Pending accounting from a run that just finished holds admission with
no incident, no pause, no enforcement version bump, and an unrelated
running run stays running. Red before the `budgets.ts` change: the
company was paused.
- A later priced receipt corrects the unavailable charge to its price;
an unpriced one leaves it settled.
- `task-interruption-presentation.test.ts`: the `budget.blocked` Retry
wait message.
- `budget-enforcement-scoping.test.ts`: the accounting-hold release
cases now assert that pending accounting places no budget hold and that
admission clears after settlement.
- Existing suites pass locally: all budget suites (control publication,
enforcement scoping, enforcement worker, evaluation work, live attempts,
history, service, live usage, budget cancellation),
native-stop-accounting, explicit-native-continuation,
native-case-handoff, cost-data-quality, heartbeat-cost-accounting,
run-cost-accounting, native-usage-delivery. Server typecheck passes.
- Runner e2e cell
`lifecycle-baseline.runner-codex.local.lifecycle-dependency-restart-neutral`,
which failed on master with a false agent budget hold before any
restart, passes on this branch.
- Live restart-chaos wave (local runner, K1 SIGKILL, codex + 2× ACPX
Claude + OpenCode, 4 restarts, company policy `unpricedUsagePolicy:
allow`) with the accounting fix: every killed run settled (no
`cost_accounting_pending` left), the company stayed active, the OpenCode
Retry completed the task on the first click and the Codex Retry finished
its task. That wave also exposed a 1-second false hard stop in the
closing window (observed 0 of 500 cents) that cancelled the running
OpenCode turn; the `budget-exposure.ts` change fixes it and has its own
red/green test.
- Confirming live wave with both commits, same plan (2× ACPX Claude,
OpenCode, Codex; 4 K1 restarts): both Claude tasks passed R3 (one Retry
click started a run that completed the task), OpenCode passed R1
(continued by itself), and the Codex Retry completed its task. Zero
budget incidents, zero cancelled runs, zero runs left pending
accounting, company active; three killed runs recorded as `unpriced`
charges. The only open signature is an unrelated workspace-durability
check (`R2:pre_fault_files_lost` on the Codex long-bench task).

## Risks

- Behavior change: a stopped native run's lost receipt now becomes an
`unpriced` ledger charge with its known usage. If that usage has tokens,
the default `block` policy still stops new work with "recorded usage has
no reliable price". If it has none, the charge is visible in Costs but
does not stop the company. Other unpriced charges keep their existing
effect. Unknown spend is never recorded as a priced receipt. Budget
enforcement stays best effort, as the spec says; killed OpenCode and
Codex requests already lose their in-flight usage.
- Remote runs and runs without a verified local stop keep their debt
pending (an admission hold only, no hard stop).
- Contract change: pending accounting no longer pauses a scope or stops
running work. New work still waits with "completed runs await
accounting". A scope's real hard stop (spend at the limit, or blocked
unpriced usage) is unchanged.
- If a provider stop can never be verified, the run stays "recovering
accounting": new work waits without a hard-stop incident. Before, the
same state paused the company. The hold is visible in admission errors
and Costs.
- A receipt that arrives after settlement posts a late correction. The
original unpriced charge stays in the ledger.
- No schema or migration change.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, via Claude Code with
tool use (shell, file editing, embedded Postgres tests, live
restart-chaos harness).

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `04a24f4e06`.

**Deployment mode**

Any deployment that uses a native Runner with Codex.

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

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

## Model Used

- Anthropic Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), through Claude Code,
with tool use and code execution. A human directed the design and
approved the scope.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

**Paperclip version or commit**

The initial investigation used
`ebd05e9f4c88c66af7473db86bbaacfd1544aa0a`.

**Deployment mode**

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 30b753f614 perf(budgets): scope accounting and deliver enforcement asynchronously (#17046)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their paid work.
> - Budgets must prevent new work and stop reported overruns.
> - Cost settlement also ran serial lifecycle reconciliation for every
eligible company agent.
> - That made request latency grow with unrelated idle agents and
delayed results on stop delivery.
> - This change separates atomic admission and accounting from durable
asynchronous enforcement.
> - Scoped live usage detects overruns without writing provisional
ledger charges.
> - The result is constant query scope for ordinary settlement and
recoverable stop delivery.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Settlement and budget checks entered company-wide lifecycle
reconciliation. A company with 1,000 unrelated idle agents performed
1,001 accounting transactions for one ordinary cost evaluation. User
requests could also wait for provider termination. Running usage
checkpoints did not enforce reported monetary exposure.

**Expected behavior**

Keep the final reservation gate authoritative. Commit charges, scope
blocks, and enforcement intent before returning. Deliver stop requests
after commit. Read only applicable policies and execution scopes for
ordinary charges. Stop long-running work when supported reported or
priced usage establishes an overrun.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a disposable company with one company budget and idle agents.
2. Evaluate a charge below the budget with 0, 17, and 1,000 unrelated
idle agents.
3. Compare query counts, company accounting transactions, and duration.
4. Use the controlled partial-usage and delayed-stop fixtures to check
enforcement and request responsiveness.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The measured baseline is `6c9b87d0922f1ebfc43e8b0c36889ac5ba7b9837` from
`master`.

Related public work: Refs #16976, #2006, #3539, #13763, #14296, #16853,
#13075. These cover the affected service charge, cancellation, and
accounting paths. This change removes their shared reconciliation
overhead.

## What Changed

- Batch applicable policy exposure under the existing company accounting
lock. Preserve exact fractional money and zero-reservation dispatch
fences.
- Commit a durable final budget dispatch claim before provider I/O.
Retain a separate final issue/run ownership transaction through
synchronous handoff, without holding the company accounting lock or
awaiting provider work. Preserve native recovery lease checks and
duplicate handoff fencing. Browser handoff rechecks current policy; it
reuses a consumed rate slot only for the identical policy generation.
- Separate ledger spend, live observed spend, and effective held
capacity. Use the maximum of reservation and live observation for each
unfinished operation.
- Deliver budget cancellation through the existing coordinator.
Revalidate generations and persist queued/running stop fences before
external termination. Bound stop concurrency to four.
- Apply agent holds only to the affected agent. Project budgets leave
other projects running. Project real company transitions in bounded
lifecycle batches.
- Replace periodic broad reconciliation with durable pending work,
startup repair, receipt replay, and concrete retry/window deadlines.
Retain drain and idle-safety checks.
- Enforce accepted cumulative usage checkpoints without provisional
charges. Final accounting atomically replaces live exposure and settles
reservations.
- Add operator-gated budget spans, regression coverage, map updates, and
a real-PostgreSQL comparison harness. No schema or first-party telemetry
change.

## Verification

- Full workspace `pnpm -r typecheck` passes on the final ownership fix,
rebased onto `bbcf5dfe98`. Production `pnpm build` passes on final head
`4c5f4de8b1`. Map, module-boundary, token, and Storybook catalog checks
pass.
- Focused real-PostgreSQL coverage includes the 292-case rebased
accounting/dispatch run, 63 browser cases, 52 run-control/cancellation
cases, 42 policy-generation cases, 77 lifecycle/commentary cases, and
the exact Muse confirmation regression. Native executor unit coverage
passes all 768 cases. Final ownership coverage passes: 74
adapter/use-case cases, nine public regression cases, and the additional
deleted-project race. These exercise competing ownership, budget changes
and charges between phases, zero/nonzero duplicate claims, rollback,
recovery contention, read-only capacity rechecks, and controlled HTTP
startup after commit. Another 74 pure/startup/tracing cases pass. The
complete CI matrix and both 5/5 reviews passed on `1ac9b58`; its
external security scan identified a stale-owner handoff race. The final
fix restores synchronous issue/run ownership fencing after the
accounting transaction commits. Final head `8e84f55ce8` has fresh
Greptile 5/5 with zero new comments, Paperclip review 5/5, and a passing
security scan. The complete latest-head [CI
matrix](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39535189808)
passes, including budget, browser, Runner, build, and canary jobs. The
unchanged Runner close fixture passed on its sole same-head job retry.
- Broad local `pnpm test:run` invocations were stopped before required
source updates (rebase and review fixes). They are not claimed as full
passes. Final full-suite coverage comes from the complete latest-head CI
matrix; local focused coverage and the incomplete broad invocations are
reported separately.
- Reproduce performance with `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsx
../scripts/benchmark-budget-enforcement.ts
--baseline-ref=6c9b87d0922f1ebfc43e8b0c36889ac5ba7b9837`; repeat with
`--reverse`. The harness uses disposable real PostgreSQL, 20 warm
samples per variant/count, and records raw timings, SQL/lock counts,
agent reads, unchanged agent state, and query plans. Final
production-source measurement revision:
`eff713a4f72c7f4b7a4002a701cb481d4bfccd95`; the extended harness is
committed in `4c5f4de8b1`.

| Unrelated idle agents | Baseline median / p95 | New median / p95 |
Baseline SQL / locks | New SQL / locks | New agent reads |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| 0 | 1.80 / 2.33 ms | 2.99 / 3.88 ms | 5 / 1 | 7 / 1 | 0 |
| 17 | 15.53 / 19.55 ms | 2.24 / 2.60 ms | 90 / 18 | 7 / 1 | 0 |
| 1,000 | 978.35 / 1,790.43 ms | 2.16 / 2.52 ms | 5,005 / 1,001 | 7 / 1
| 0 |

- These measurements use local PostgreSQL 18.1 and Node 26.4.0 arm64.
They isolate the cost-evaluation core and complete admission path,
without hosted-region or provider latency. Prior-revision reversed-order
controls also preserved the constant query counts; the final
measurements above use the final production source.
- Complete reserve → final ownership gate → immediate offline provider
result is measured separately, with one responsible agent and one active
operation at each unrelated-agent count. Admission p95 baseline/new: 0
agents **11.54 / 29.77 ms**; 17 agents **9.31 / 27.62 ms**; 1,000 agents
**24.51 / 74.05 ms**. Baseline admission was already scoped; the
stronger final fence adds bounded overhead. New counts stay constant at
53 Drizzle statements, three transactions, two company-accounting locks,
and five agent-reading statements bound to the responsible agent. Zero
unrelated-agent reads, exactly one provider callback per sample, and no
leftover runs or holds. All admission scenarios stay below 250 ms. No
external provider calls are included.
- The partial-usage/delayed-termination fixture passed 20/20: receipt
persistence p95 13 ms, receipt return to observed durable Stop fence p95
28 ms, complete receipt-start-to-fence p95 50 ms, unrelated database
request p95 1 ms while termination was blocked. After releasing the
controlled termination fixture, acknowledgement p95 was 14 ms. These are
separately measured phases; fixture acknowledgement is not live-provider
termination latency.
- Models and provider deadlines are unchanged. No deployment, live
inference, or staging acceptance is claimed. A quiet 30-minute follow-up
waits for the merged revision on staging, then repeats classifier and
controlled budget-stop acceptance in staging, recording hosted
bookkeeping, queue delay, and actual provider acknowledgement
separately.
- Development failures retained: finalizer notification regressions
(fixed; 27/27 affected cases passed), invalid browser admission fixture
assumptions (fixed; browser coverage now passes 63/63), and first-head
lifecycle/dispatch CI regressions (reproduced and repaired). A
prior-head Cases E2E test hit its unchanged announcement-dismiss handler
race while opening a filter; the same journey passed on `1ac9b58`. The
external security review then found a stale-owner race between
accounting commit and provider entry; final verification covers a
competing run in that gap while retaining provider I/O outside the
accounting lock. Early PostgreSQL startup attempts hit local semaphore
pressure; serial reruns succeeded. The final-head Runner lane had one
failure among 1,823 tests: the unchanged `timeout-attachment` fixture
failed at its first process close after 6.28 seconds. The sole same-head
job retry passed all 1,819 active tests (four skipped), including that
fixture in 1.85 seconds. Three isolated local probes could not run
correctly because the Rust fake-provider fixture binary was absent;
cleanup masked the original startup failure. CI builds that fixture
through its normal lane. These probes are inconclusive and are not
counted as passes.

## Risks

- This changes accounting, lifecycle, and cancellation ordering. Durable
generations, source/sequence checks, ownership leases, and company
locking remain required for correctness.
- Provider stop acknowledgement can be slow or fail. Stop intent remains
pending until existing termination proof succeeds; cancelled row status
alone does not acknowledge delivery.
- Mid-run limits depend on provider usage reports or supported price
calculations. Providers that report only at completion cannot provide
exact mid-call detection.
- Signals are process-local wake hints for the supported
single-active-writer model. Durable state and startup recovery remain
authoritative.
- There are no migrations, new queue tables, or cached balances. Repeat
the classifier and controlled budget-stop acceptance after normal
rollout.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, tool use, code execution,
and parallel coding agents. The host does not expose the exact backend
model revision or context-window size, so those values are not asserted.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 3367b75ccc fix: fence accepted work and cleanup before idle sleep (#15522)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A host can stop an idle instance to reduce unused compute.
> - Zero active runs do not prove that requests, saved work, or cleanup
are complete.
> - A client can disconnect while its request still writes, and failed
cleanup can remain only in memory or on disk.
> - This pull request holds new admission and checks accepted work,
cleanup, and persisted work under an owned drain.
> - The host gets an empty report only while those checks remain valid.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13413. That companion PR uses the same owned-hold vocabulary for
runtime services. This PR covers HTTP requests, scheduler work,
accounting, cleanup, and the instance work inventory. It does not
include the preview gateway changes.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The instance task-drain API reports process counters. It does not prove
that a host can safely stop the instance for idle sleep.

**Current behavior**

A quiet run set can coexist with an unfinished request, cleanup after a
completed run, future work, or a failed accounting write.

**Proposed behavior**

Provide a bounded owned idle hold. Block new ingress, track accepted
handler promises, inspect durable and local work, and return `none` only
when the same hold stays quiet through the checks. Keep normal
deployment drains compatible.

**Reason and benefit**

Hosts can identify eligible idle instances without treating a disconnect
or failed cleanup write as completed work.

## What Changed

- Add `purpose: "idle"`, a bounded TTL, unique owners, and owner-checked
release to task drain. Existing holds cannot be replaced by another API
request.
- Gate HTTP ingress before parsers, auth, webhooks, and MCP. Gate new
WebSocket upgrades. Track async handlers in nested Express routers and
error middleware until they settle, even after the response or client
disconnect.
- Count accepted live-event WebSocket authentication through settlement,
even after disconnects. Count detached built-in agent, managed-home and
runtime-service startup reconciliation after readiness.
- Keep health and control mutations tracked. Count control-request
authentication separately from the read-only report, including
concurrent user/company/membership writes.
- Pause new scheduler admissions during idle holds. Count work already
in flight, including database backups, and reject scans whose work
generation changes. Periodic backups block sleep without a host wake
schedule.
- Inspect accounting and orphan-cleanup spool directories without
skipping temporary or malformed entries. Retain orphan tokens through
queue splices, flush failures, and buffer overflow. Keep failed usage
capture counted until its database failure fence is written.
- Check persisted work across companies in a bounded read-only
transaction. Include deferred agent-file cleanup and saved watchdogs
whose watched issues are complete. Enabled plugins and unsupported
retained work remain blockers.
- Require the exact idle owner and completed startup tracking before
returning an empty report. Keep reports free of tenant details.
- Document the hosting protocol, retry behavior, conservative blockers,
and the remaining external provider-stop race.

## Verification

- Current head: `8d9a599b732c2047b8c671d4799065d7c90a3567`, rebased on
master `941a3fa991aeb97eb1ac390c65b7973b5f6de1ad`. Both heartbeat helper
extractions are preserved. GitHub confirms no merge conflicts.
- Focused heartbeat renderer/run-log, drain, control-auth, admission,
route and PostgreSQL inventory checks: 234 tests passed in 10 suites
after the rebase.
- The POST task-drain contract includes the expected `409` conflict
response. The 84 OpenAPI and instance-settings route tests and server
typecheck passed after that final documentation fix.
- Final accepted-upgrade/startup regression run: 104 tests passed in
five suites, including success and failure after readiness or
disconnect. Final server typecheck also passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed.
- `pnpm build`: passed.
- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` and the PR diff secret scan passed.
No dependency or lockfile changes are added by this PR.
- The prior verification covered HTTP disconnects and early responses,
async error handlers, concurrent authentication writes, signed
bootstrap, saved watchdogs, backup promises, orphan cleanup, spools and
failed accounting fences. Those tests passed.
- The last full local `pnpm test:run` stopped in the general-server
phase with 16,658 passing tests and five skill/connector fixture
failures caused by an ancestor workspace skill directory. That full
local run preceded this rebase and has not been repeated for the import
conflict. Full current-head CI passed: 53 successful checks and two
conditional skips, with no failures.
- All eight review findings are fixed and their threads resolved,
including accepted upgrade authentication, detached startup writes and
the POST conflict contract. Current-head Apex review is 5/5 with no new
findings; all eight review threads remain resolved.
- No live provider stop or production change was performed.

## Risks

- The hosting controller must use the owned protocol and hold external
admission through its final validation and provider stop. A legacy drain
cannot authorize idle sleep. During an idle hold, new requests receive
503 with `Retry-After: 1`; the host must handle queueing or retry before
enabling this path.
- This is a single-process protocol. An unexpected restart after the
last validation can race an external provider stop. The host must
serialize deploy/wake/sleep operations and bind the validation to the
instance it stops. Multiple replicas need shared fencing.
- Some retained state conservatively prevents sleep, including every
enabled plugin. This PR does not promise that every inactive instance
becomes eligible.
- The HTTP adapter uses Express 5 router layers. Real Express tests
cover nested routes, errors and disconnects. New routes must register
before tracking is installed. Detached work must have durable state or
explicit work tracking.
- Unrecoverable in-memory cleanup debt keeps the instance awake until
reconciliation. This change does not make such debt survive an unplanned
process crash. No schema migration or provider configuration change is
included.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 via Codex, with reasoning, repository inspection, tool use
and code execution. The exact deployment variant/model ID and context
window are not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip fd8c6b920a fix(native): resume connection tasks after approval decisions (#15471)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native tasks can pause while a human decides whether to allow a
connection action.
> - The next turn needs both the saved decision and complete accounting
for the previous turn.
> - Cancellation could discard final usage, and complete direct Claude
API receipts could remain unpriced.
> - A stale blocked or review report could also request approval again
after the original card was declined.
> - This pull request retains shutdown accounting and rejects approval
waits bound to an already resolved action.
> - The benefit is reliable continuation with the existing budget and
approval controls.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #15420. Related: #15312 addresses requester ownership during
dispatch. This change addresses receipt capture and final-response
validation.

## What Changed

- Retain usage events after native cancellation. Continue to reject late
provider messages and work.
- Drain same-turn accounting and terminal events for at most fifteen
seconds after a durable governed wait. Keep incomplete accounting
blocked.
- Estimate complete, unpriced, direct Anthropic API receipts for the
exact `claude-sonnet-5` model. Record the rate version and assumptions.
Use the one-hour cache-write rate when the receipt lacks cache TTL.
- Bind stale approval reports to exact interaction, action-request, or
invocation IDs in the same company, task, agent, and run. Cover blocked,
review, and response-wake reports. Keep independent reviews valid.
- Fence checkpoint and result writes after a controller detaches for
restart, including operations waiting for a database lock. Reject stale
successful returns before certifying accounting.
- Allow bounded subscription teardown only after retaining an actual
provider terminal.
- Journal the exact governed-wait trigger and disposition before
provider interruption. Recover that wait independently of a later saved
answer, replay retained accounting, and reject mismatched or unproven
terminal evidence.
- Give settling governed turns a bounded window before shutdown detaches
their controller.
- Keep fuzzy external app matches alongside installed capability matches
instead of forcing an unrelated provider question for a generic query.
- Return up to twenty exact active catalog tool names after an invalid
request, after eligibility checks; still reject the request without
granting access or creating an approval.
- Require retained provider terminal proof before settling a governed
wait, including when complete usage arrives before stream
closure/error/timeout. Retain harmless numbered cancellation events so
restart replay stays contiguous.
- Isolate accounting-test OpenCode config from the host plugin
directory.
- Add regression coverage and document the accounting, restart and
connection-search behavior.

## Verification

Current PR source: `0cf08efd75f8fb23f7989beda6dbda92587088bf`. The live
matrix below measured frozen `09a776bcb1f77422156f8be11e13f8c29f43e7f7`;
later review fixes are verified separately and do not relabel those
runs.

- Repository typecheck and build pass.
- Current runner runtime and cancellation suites: 191 tests pass. Six
new regressions cover stream end/error/timeout without provider-stop
proof and contiguous cancellation acknowledgement/request replay; all
six failed before the fix. The existing bounded cleanup case now
explicitly supplies terminal proof. All 31 adapter accounting tests pass
with isolated fixture config.
- New checkpoint-rebinding and approval-criterion suites: 65 tests pass;
runner HTTP integration: 29 tests pass. Unchanged executor/control-plane
suites: 640 tests pass; database-backed connection suites: 68 tests
pass.
- Current retained evidence verification covers 222 file hashes across
all fifteen original result artifacts. The three-case [published
report](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-37651896525-1/index.html)
and all eight screenshot hashes verify. The [three-case recovery
report](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-37662587356-1/index.html)
and all six screenshots also verify; the nine-result campaign did not
publish.
- Evaluation support: 1,805 Vitest tests pass, one skipped; 128 Node
tests pass. Eval typecheck and catalog discovery pass.
- Full local repository unit run was interrupted before the follow-up
edits after three tool-access failures and one runner HTTP failure.
Those failures pass in isolation; the 09a full run was interrupted after
one rapid Slack callback-ordering failure and seven skill-service
failures. All eight pass both isolated and with full-runner environment
settings, and all 74 skill-service tests pass together; the subsequent
full run reported two 15-second OpenCode accounting timeouts and was
stopped with exit 130 to apply review fixes. The timeouts reproduce
while copying this host’s 61 MB OpenCode config. All 31 tests pass after
isolating config inside each fixture without increasing timeouts or
changing assertions. A complete local full-suite pass is not claimed.
Repository-wide CI also passes on the final review-fix head in [run
37669185952](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37669185952).
Earlier database-skipped diagnostics and the older ENFILE run are
retained and are not full-suite passing evidence.
- Three-case live campaign
[37651896525](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37651896525)
passes all three original grades on frozen source 09a: 55/55 checks,
eight succeeded run records, complete accounting receipts, matching
checkpoint identities and no pending approvals. Campaign
[37653533353](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37653533353)
adds nine original passes (173/173 checks, eighteen succeeded records)
on the identical source. Its other three jobs failed before runner
assignment or any step while GitHub could not load the paid environment;
those original infrastructure failures are retained. Campaign
[37662587356](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37662587356)
completes only those unstarted cells: all three original grades pass
(57/57 checks, six succeeded run records). All fifteen exact cases now
pass on source 09a: eight FAIL → PASS, seven PASS → PASS, zero new
overall failures and zero pending pairs. Total current evidence: 285/285
checks and thirty-two succeeded run records, complete accounting
receipts, matching checkpoint identities, no pending approvals or retry
records. Earlier campaigns retain forty-seven additional run records and
two known same-run recovery attempts; actual provider-call counts and
invoices remain unknown. The nine-result campaign skipped publication
and its public URL returns 403; original artifacts remain retained.
Previous ba9 campaign
[37645656840](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37645656840)
completed 2 PASS / 1 FAIL: Claude restart/approval and Codex decline
pass, while OpenCode resumes but times out searching for exact tool
names and never creates the access card. That failure and incomplete
cancelled-run accounting remain preserved; the new catalog error
guidance targets this observed dead end. Campaign
[37642957312](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37642957312)
remains 0 PASS / 3 FAIL and exposed the now-corrected cross-run marker
leak and unknown-criterion approval gap. The original baseline remains 7
PASS / 8 FAIL, first repair 2 PASS / 3 FAIL, and second repair 0 PASS /
3 FAIL. All fifteen selected cases are qualified by their original
grades in this bounded trial. These live grades belong to 09a. Its
twelve governed-wait checkpoints retain matching same-turn terminal
fingerprints, but passing artifacts omit detailed event journals; the
later six adversarial regressions qualify the new terminal-proof and
replay guards separately. Final-head repository CI passes. [Fresh
Greptile
review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/15471#issuecomment-6044369780)
is 5/5, confirms both findings are fixed, and reports no new actionable
issues. All review threads are resolved and the PR has no merge
conflicts.

## Risks

- Governed cancellation drains accounting for up to fifteen seconds.
Restart detachment gives a settling batch up to twenty seconds to
finish. An incomplete receipt or unproven provider terminal still
prevents successful qualification.
- Claude prices are estimates, not invoices. The estimate assumes
standard global API pricing and uses a conservative cache-write rate.
Unsupported models, billers, and billing modes remain unpriced.
- Approval identity matching must remain scoped to the current run and
the requested approval. It does not authorize execution of a declined
call.
- Original baseline and final candidate have different merged master
context. Exact-case outcomes are before/after observations, not isolated
causal attribution to this repair.
- No schema migration, fixture, oracle or grader change. Search-result
guidance now treats fuzzy external matches as suggestions. Existing app
authorization and provider-consent checks remain required.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with code editing, terminal tools, and
test execution. The exact deployment identifier and context window are
not exposed in this session.
