DottaandPaperclip 9ae3d8db3d fix: keep pre-dispatch review waits out of execution recovery (#15024)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The queued-run gate can cancel a continuation that must wait for
review.
> - This cancellation happens before execution authority or a provider
starts.
> - Recovery currently treats the gate receipt as unknown provider
execution.
> - That mistake blocks a conversation after a successful reply and
hides Retry.
> - This pull request recognizes only the recorded, unclaimed
review-wait state.
> - Review waits keep their normal disposition path, and new user input
can recover older false holds.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #15015, #15020, and #15022. Related #11614 narrows the review
posture that causes cancellation; this change corrects recovery after a
valid cancellation.

**What happened?**

After a successful agent reply, the queued-run gate cancelled an
automatic continuation with `issue_continuation_waiting_on_review`. The
gate retained `timeoutSource: stale_queued_run_gate` and a matching stop
reason. No execution authority or provider started. Recovery still
created an unknown-action hold, moved the task to Blocked, and hid
Retry.

**Expected behavior**

Use normal review-wait disposition repair for this recorded state. Allow
Retry, a new user message, or saved undelivered input to recover an
older false hold after ordinary admission checks pass. Preserve the
cancelled run and do not replay its input.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Finish an agent turn on an open task that has a real review target.
2. Let the automatic continuation reach the queued-run review gate.
3. Refresh after the cancelled run is checked by recovery.
4. Confirm a review wait is handled as a wait rather than unknown
provider work.
5. Reproduce an older false hold for the same receipt, then request
Retry or send a new message.
6. Confirm only one fresh turn starts, and contradictory execution or
cleanup evidence retains the hold.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `215586d127`.

**Deployment mode**

Authenticated private self-hosted server, built from source.

## What Changed

- Recognize the exact review-wait dispatch receipt only while all
execution claims remain unset.
- Exempt recovery only after checking retained launch and provider
events, coordinators, and environment cleanup. Keep the synchronous
classifier conservative without that database proof.
- Apply the verified classification to automatic recovery, heartbeat
retries, and stranded-queue release, so saved user input starts once.
- Reuse guarded startup admission for Retry, new input, and saved input
on older false holds.
- Show a precise review-wait notice and keep continuation guidance
consistent with Retry availability.
- Verify provider events, launch events, coordinators, and cleanup
before admission.
- Add five initial red regressions, three additional red recovery
evidence regressions, concurrent saved-input coverage, and negative
evidence checks.
- Document the review-wait contract.

## Verification

- Red: five regressions fail on unchanged master. Existing review-wait
and contradictory-evidence cases still pass.
- Workspace `pnpm -r typecheck` passes.
- All 752 affected recovery, continuation, queue, classification, and
retry-scheduling tests pass.
- Three additional review regressions failed before the database proof
was added; all 12 focused review-wait cases then pass.
- Workspace `pnpm build` passes.
- Saved-input promotion and recovery notice regressions fail before
their fixes and pass afterward.
- Current-head CI has 54 passing checks and 2 skipped optional Storybook
checks. Greptile reviewed `0bf1437110e1617ae4544afa41f4319eac763dba` at
5/5 with zero open findings. The complete suite runs in sharded CI. No
complete local monolithic pass is claimed; an earlier long run was
stopped, and its unrelated failing case passed in isolation.

## Risks

The error code alone cannot establish that no provider started. This
exception also requires the server gate receipt, matching stop reason,
and null execution authority fields. User admission separately checks
coordinator, launch and provider events, environment cleanup, pending
decisions, ownership, task holds, budget, and active execution. No
migration or dependency change.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, an agent based on GPT-6. The exact runtime model ID and
context window are not exposed in this session. Used reasoning,
repository tools, code execution, and browser inspection.

DottaandPaperclip cc67d4e1d8 fix: preserve steering and recover stopped task conversations (#15015)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A task conversation must let a user guide a running agent and resume
stopped work.
> - The active run owns its input protocol, even when the user changes
the next model or effort.
> - Queue delivery waits for a provider receipt, which must be able to
persist during the request.
> - A stopped startup also needs a clear user action that passes normal
task admission.
> - This pull request fixes steering delivery, makes queue actions
immediate, and restores explicit continuation.
> - The benefit is a responsive conversation that can recover without
losing saved input.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A queued message could change from Steer to Interrupt while a native run
prepared. A steer request could wait on its own database lock and fail
to deliver. A stopped startup could then leave the conversation without
a working Retry or message continuation. Interrupt also waited for the
server and showed a toast.

**Expected behavior**

The active run keeps its input protocol. Steer delivers input to that
run. Steer and Interrupt clear the submitted queue rows and show the
input in the conversation immediately. Failed delivery restores the
latest queue with an inline error. An eligible stopped run offers Retry,
and authenticated user input can start a fresh turn through normal task
admission.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a task with a native Paperclip Runner.
2. Change the selected model or effort while that run prepares.
3. Queue a message and press Steer.
4. Observe the provider receipt and queue state during the request.
5. Stop a startup before its provider process begins, then try Retry or
send a new message.
6. Repeat queued delivery with a legacy runner and press Interrupt.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on the parent of this branch, `59c07ede7`.

**Deployment mode**

Authenticated private deployment. The fixes also cover local task
conversations.

Related work: Refs #12834, Refs #13354, Refs #13275. The open refactor
in #13160 moves the same queue route; it does not fix the receipt lock
or stopped-run continuation addressed here.

## What Changed

- Select queue behavior from the active run's immutable dispatch and
runtime resolution.
- Leave the run row unlocked during provider acknowledgement, then lock
and read it before merging the receipt.
- Retain queued input if the target run stops during that wait. Keep
inline delivery errors visible after empty queue updates.
- Permit exact Retry and authenticated continuation after verified
native startup cancellation. Preserve pause, approval, budget,
ownership, and process-stop gates.
- Carry undelivered native queue input into a fresh turn once the old
execution is confirmed stopped.
- Show Steer and Interrupt input in the conversation and clear submitted
composer rows immediately. Restore the latest queue inline on failure.
Remove delivery toasts.
- Keep optimistic delivery stable across stale polls, empty queues, and
paginated history. Preserve classic Interrupt error handling.
- Document recovery and optimistic delivery behavior. Add regression
tests across server, shared queue projection, and UI boundaries.

## Verification

- Red-green regression tests reproduced the queue protocol, receipt
lock, stopped-startup continuation, and optimistic delivery failures.
- The focused server route, continuation, queue, and runner boundary
suites passed during implementation.
- The queue-route suite passes with 78 tests. The three complete
conversation UI suites pass with 347 tests.
- UI typecheck, production build, and `pnpm check:token-gates` pass.
- Workspace `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass. The local
monolithic `pnpm test:run` is still running; remote CI verifies the
complete suite on the latest commit.
- All CI gates pass on `bd9031ad56abfcde13d13a13488c1b9217c2fd3a`,
including the full test shards, runner verification, browser E2E,
typecheck, release registry, and canary dry run.
- Greptile reports 5/5 for that commit. Both review threads are
resolved.

## Risks

This changes queue display and explicit continuation admission. The UI
must restore rejected delivery without losing other-session edits. The
server must preserve concurrent provider result updates and must not
resume a process whose stop is uncertain. Focused tests cover these
boundaries. This change has no database migration.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, an agent based on GPT-6. The exact runtime model ID and
context window are not exposed in this session. Used reasoning,
repository tools, code execution, and browser inspection.

DottaandPaperclip 7a52dcdc74 fix: repair MCP validation and cancelled execution recovery (#14951)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The tool gateway gives agents access to connected services. Recovery
controls what happens when a run stops.
> - Generated tool names can exceed the provider limit after the MCP
client adds its prefix.
> - The same invalid definition can fail each automatic retry. A
cancelled run can also hold saved messages without showing its cause.
> - This pull request bounds tool names, stops configuration retries,
and retains cancellation evidence.
> - It shows the stopped run and admits saved input only after the
existing safety checks pass.
> - The benefit is a clear recovery path that preserves operator Stop
and prevents duplicate message delivery.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A long connected MCP tool name makes the provider reject the entire
request. Automatic recovery repeats the invalid request. Separately,
unexpected legacy cancellations can leave saved input behind a recovery
hold. The notice does not identify the stopped run or its cause.

**Expected behavior**

Complete MCP names fit the provider limit. Tool-definition errors
require configuration repair. Cancelled runs retain their source and
reason. The recovery notice shows the cause and saved-message count.
Verified unexpected cancellations can start a fresh turn through the
existing admission checks.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Assign an App gallery connection with a long application key and tool
name to a Claude agent.
2. Start a run. The provider rejects a name over 128 characters,
including its MCP prefix.
3. For cancellation recovery, stop a legacy provider turn without an
operator Stop request and send a user message while the recovery hold is
active.
4. Inspect the recovery notice and the deferred message queue.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Rebased onto master at `cf8ad63c806685bfd7c48e3ed4a919d61a7c55f1`.

**Deployment mode**

Hosted or self-hosted server with legacy Claude or Codex execution.

Related public work:

- Refs #14017. That PR caps name segments. This PR preserves existing
short names and uses stable hash aliases for long complete names. It
also covers classification and recovery.
- Refs #4510. That PR adds a cancellation-source column. This PR records
bounded evidence in the existing run result, without a migration.
- Refs #12552 and #4506. Those PRs suppress recovery after operator
cancellation. This PR preserves operator intent and uses the existing
continuation gates.

## What Changed

- Bound gateway names with the full provider prefix in the 128-character
budget. Retain the original upstream tool name for dispatch and
permissions.
- Classify invalid tool definitions as configuration failures before
diagnostic redaction. Stop automatic retries and continuation attempts
for that error code.
- Persist cancellation source, expectedness, initiator, reason, and
time. Preserve recorded Stop intent when adapter results arrive. Report
unexpected started cancellations with closed diagnostic labels.
- Show the run cause, saved-message count, and Inspect run link. Offer
Continue for eligible unexpected cancellations. Require verified
provider stop, empty tool inventory, ownership, and the existing pause,
budget, approval, and dependency gates. Use the existing queue for
single delivery.
- Add regression coverage and update the execution, MCP gateway, and
run-log documentation.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` passed.
- Ran `pnpm test:run` and completed its workspace and serialized groups.
Initial resource and timing failures passed on isolated reruns. All 149
serialized route suites passed.
- Reran the changed server, adapter, and UI suites after the rebase.
Coverage includes long-name upstream dispatch, configuration retry
suppression, cancellation evidence retention, privacy labels, oversized
run projection, and concurrent saved-message delivery.
- `pnpm test:e2e tests/e2e/legacy-failure-continuation.spec.ts` passed
all six browser scenarios. The recovery notice shows the run cause and
inspection link, and each recovery entry point reaches one new response.
- Added database-backed checks for active, removed, paused, unavailable,
and disabled chat connections. The final continuation and
recovery-notice suites passed 167 tests. Externally bound chats hide
board Continue and show a usable next action.
- All 55 GitHub checks passed on
`42afbf1371dcaeb72646e3d8f65c19ff7cddf8de`. Two unrelated Storybook jobs
were skipped by their normal conditions. Greptile reviewed that commit
at 5/5 with no findings and no open review threads.

## Risks

- Long tool names change to aliases. Existing short names stay
compatible. The original connection and upstream name remain the
dispatch authority.
- Invalid tool definitions no longer get automatic retries. An operator
must repair the configuration before a new attempt.
- Continuation changes apply only to positively identified unexpected
legacy cancellations with complete empty tool inventory. Operator Stop,
unknown historical cancellations, outstanding tools, and unverified
provider termination keep their holds.
- No database migration. The added projection fields are optional.
Cancellation reason and initiator IDs remain local run evidence; Sentry
receives only closed source and initiator-type labels and expectedness.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository editing, shell
execution, and GitHub tool use. The runtime does not expose the exact
model variant or context-window size.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

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

**Problem or motivation**

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

**Proposed solution**

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

**Roadmap alignment**

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip b1efd65edc fix: continue interrupted task conversations with bounded retries (#13237)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their tasks.
> - A task can outlive a provider process or a server restart.
> - Legacy recovery treated unknown tool outcomes as a permanent
execution hold.
> - That hold could also reject a later user message.
> - A conversation turn can use prior history without replaying prior
tool calls.
> - This pull request lets supported conversation adapters continue
within the existing retry budget.
> - Users can send a new message after automatic attempts stop.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A server restart could interrupt a local ACP run and leave its task
behind a permanent recovery hold. A later user message could be
cancelled before the provider answered. The immediate recovery path
could also create a successor outside the durable failure counter.

**Expected behavior**

Continue with a bounded new conversation turn. Preserve a compatible
provider session or use full task context when it is unavailable. Do not
replay recorded tools. When automatic attempts stop, allow a new user
request through the normal execution gates.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a task with a local conversation adapter.
2. Restart the server while the provider is working.
3. Let the previous run become interrupted.
4. Send a follow-up message and observe the recovery hold on the old
behavior.

Related work: Refs #13075 for durable task recovery. Refs #12946 for
retry-limit and checkout-lock handling. This change routes conversation
recovery through the existing bounded scheduler.

## What Changed

- Mark supported local conversation failures for continuation. Keep
native-runner and non-conversation recovery rules.
- Carry an interruption notice into the next turn. Retain stopped ACP
session history even when a write outcome is unknown.
- Clear unavailable ACP sessions so the next bounded attempt can use
full task context.
- Route immediate failure recovery through the same durable scheduler as
process-loss recovery. Release only the predecessor checkout when its
retry takes ownership.
- Retire obsolete conversation holds using immutable run evidence, in
bounded batches with an activity record. Preserve outcome evidence and
do not wake historical tasks.
- Block actual admission and Resume while a predecessor process or
environment lease is still active. Keep the original interruption notice
after a rejected wake. Preserve the upstream blocked-wake waiting
contract: bounded retry planning can happen during cleanup, while
deferred messages and execution remain gated.
- Add subprocess and database regression tests. Update the execution
contract.
- Add the current thread-status field to the native recovery provider
fixture so its damaged-journal test reaches the intended boundary.
Tolerate an already-exited fixture process during test cleanup while
still asserting both processes terminate.

## Verification

- Workspace typecheck passed: `pnpm -r typecheck`.
- Build passed: `pnpm build`.
- Module boundaries passed: `pnpm check:module-boundaries`.
- Focused tests passed: 293 recovery/session/dispatch tests, 66 retry
and response-gate tests, and 37 native-session tests. Some suites
overlap.
- Tests cover interrupted writes, missing sessions, concurrent retries,
restart persistence, pending questions and approvals, execution gates,
and historical holds.
- Built the Rust test executables with `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/paperclip-runner build:rust` for native-runner
verification.
- Full Vitest coverage verified locally using the repository’s general
and serialized shards, with focused reruns for failures and files not
reached after a shard stopped. The ownership-gate regression is fixed
and the complete affected server shard passes (1,390 tests). Local
parallel runs also hit temporary-directory, resource, and timing
failures; those suites pass with canonical temporary paths and
sequential reruns. No test timeouts were increased.
- Final merged-branch regression run: 577 tests pass across process
recovery, retry scheduling, liveness, durable chat, wake-queue
application/adapter, dispatch, continuation, native sessions, and task
chat. Earlier focused verification also passed 19 native control tests.
Token gates and whitespace validation pass.
- Browser verification passed all three ACP Stop/continue/pause
scenarios, including a rerun after merging the upstream waiting
behavior: `PAPERCLIP_E2E_PORT=3397 pnpm test:e2e
tests/e2e/acp-stop-continuation.spec.ts`. The interrupted-write case
verifies that follow-up completes without a repeated write.

- Final-head [CI run

passed on `06ac4bd9d150f8b209a96e5fd609c696958794a0`: all 31 reported
checks are green, including server/workspace suites, all browser shards,
native runner verification, build, typecheck, release dry run, and
aggregate gates. The two conditional Storybook checks were skipped.
Greptile reviewed this exact commit at 5/5; all review threads are
resolved.

## Risks

- A new model turn can choose to repeat an action. Paperclip does not
replay recorded tool calls and does not certify unknown action outcomes.
- Conversation adapters now stop after their retry budget instead of
requiring action reconciliation. Explicit Stop, pause, dependency,
approval, budget, and ownership gates remain in force.
- No schema migration or dependency changes. Historical holds are folded
without changing task status or waking work.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 018ca5daaf fix: verify ACP Stop and preserve safe continuation (#13119)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Task controls coordinate provider execution and queued user
messages.
> - Stop could finish before an embedded ACP provider stopped its tools.
> - A later request could be held for reconciliation without a clear
task response.
> - A restored provider could also retain the stopped run's API
credential.
> - This pull request verifies provider termination and preserves safe
session continuation.
> - Operators can continue known-safe work and see why uncertain work
cannot start.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Stop could leave an embedded ACP provider running. A queued follow-up
followed by “go” could fail before it reached the provider. Task chat
could show a generic missing-response message. Even a restored session
could use the previous run's credential and fail its task update.

**Expected behavior**

Stop waits for confirmed provider termination. A later explicit wake
continues the same compatible session only when recorded actions have
known outcomes. It carries pending comments and the current run's
environment. Uncertain actions retain a visible reconciliation hold.
Composer Stop preserves the existing pause rule: conversation can
continue while paused, but task work requires Resume.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start an embedded ACP task.
2. Send a second request while the provider is running.
3. Interrupt the run, then send “go”. Also test composer Stop followed
by Resume work.
4. Check that the request is delivered once and that the provider can
complete the task through the current run's API credential.
5. Repeat with an unfinished write. Confirm that the write stops and
that further execution stays blocked with a visible reason.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Built from source on master at `3bc60dd8b` plus this branch.

**Deployment mode**

Local source build with an isolated embedded PostgreSQL instance.

Refs #11183. Refs #12552. Those changes address recovery after operator
cancellation. This change also covers embedded ACP termination, session
proof, pending-comment delivery, and task feedback.

## What Changed

- Propagate Stop into embedded ACP and wait for bounded adapter cleanup
and provider exit. Retain the actual ChildProcess object for forced
termination on all platforms; never signal a recycled numeric PID.
- Preserve interrupted checkpoints only for acknowledged, local,
persistent sessions with settled reads or no tools. Keep writes,
incomplete actions, and forced termination blocked.
- Restore the same compatible provider session with the current run's
environment. Reject fresh-session fallback for an interrupted
checkpoint.
- Adopt pending comments on the next explicit wake. Stop alone does not
dispatch them.
- Share the execution-blocker rule across dispatch, Resume, and task
detail. Show Stopped or Couldn't start with the recorded reason. Resolve
the stopped agent for the run link, including reviewer runs.
- Keep execution reconciliation holds intact when generic recovery sees
queued comments or healthy child tasks.
- Add process, service, component, and browser regression coverage. Fix
disposable database cleanup and React test settling exposed by the full
suite.

## Verification

- Passed `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, and `pnpm
check:token-gates`.
- Passed all three `acp-stop-continuation.spec.ts` browser journeys.
They use an actual ACP child process and require task completion through
the agent API.
- Passed 165 adapter execution, operator-stop, and child-process control
tests, 17 queued-comment route tests, and 65 tests in the two adjusted
UI suites. Earlier focused recovery, heartbeat, and task-control tests
also passed.
- Manually used the browser to queue a request, Stop, send “go” while
paused, and Resume. The same session answered once and moved the task to
Done with the current run's credential.
- Manually interrupted an unfinished write. Its file size stayed fixed
for five seconds. “Go” showed the reconciliation reason and did not
start another provider prompt.
- Separate live Claude ACP smoke checks confirmed that Stop ended a
disposable local write and that a no-tool interruption could resume the
exact provider session. The browser fixture does not call Drive or
another external app.
- Passed all 5,615 UI tests and 3,090 other workspace tests. The CLI and
general server groups pass with targeted retries: two transient server
failures passed together on retry, and two embedded-database startup
failures passed after removing abandoned shared-memory segments from
this task's completed browser fixtures. All 144 serialized server suites
completed, with 2,189 tests passing after two transient HTTP socket
failures passed on retry.
- Passed all 135 heartbeat process/recovery tests, including a
deterministic regression that failed before the recovery-sweep fix.
- Passed 18 dispatch integration tests, including stopped-reviewer
links, company boundaries, and malformed run IDs.
- Greptile is 5/5 on `7dd170d83`, with zero unresolved review threads.
The security scan and all required CI gates pass for the same commit.

## Risks

- Safe continuation depends on complete tool reporting and a restorable
local provider session. Unknown outcomes remain blocked and require
reconciliation.
- Provider cleanup can take time. A timeout does not grant replay
permission.
- The change adds optional adapter context fields and an optional issue
projection. It does not change the database schema or require a
migration.
- Test cleanup truncates company data only in a disposable test
database.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6, running as Codex with repository tools, code execution,
and browser interaction. The runtime does not expose a more specific
model deployment ID or context-window size.
