Devin FoleyandPaperclip b65897f9bf perf(recovery): read workspace contract without native launch prompts (#17621)
Project native input to the complete schema, binding, provider, and workspace evidence used by execution-blocker checks. Preserve absent and malformed fields and retain all saved inputs and recovery holds.

149 focused tests and 123 workspace-recovery tests pass. Server typecheck, build, all 55 CI checks, and exact-head Apex 5/5 pass.

DottaandPaperclip bc091f0a21 fix(recovery): recover retained workspaces before saved messages (#16906)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A stopped run can leave useful files in its original sandbox.
> - The server keeps that sandbox when it cannot confirm file copyback.
> - The task can then save new user input but offers no safe way to
recover the files.
> - A retry of the old agent turn can repeat work that already finished.
> - This pull request recovers files through the existing workspace
owner and delivers only saved human input.
> - The user can recover a task without certifying infrastructure facts
or losing completed work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #16883 and #16835 for publication receipts and verified process
termination.
Related: #16478 clears stale holds after copyback already succeeded.
This change performs the missing export and records its proof. #16901
manages the main GitHub response comment and does not perform workspace
repair.

**What happened?**

A failed run retained its workspace. A later user message stayed saved
behind a file-repair hold. The task asked the user to verify process
termination and file recovery but offered no repair control. Sending a
message could show an optimistic Working state and move the task to Todo
before admission succeeded.

**Expected behavior**

The harness should recover the original files when it can prove
ownership and termination. It should preserve newer edits and completed
operations. Only waiting user input may start another turn. Missing
evidence must keep the source held with a specific explanation.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Interrupt a sandbox run before workspace finalization succeeds.
2. Retain its exact allocation and save a user follow-up.
3. Observe the file-repair hold and missing end-user repair path.

## What Changed

- Add source-bound background recovery for native and legacy runs. An
accepted native result is not required.
- Share the physical copyback lock and durable owner. Resume only the
exact stopped allocation, export files, verify persistence and obtain a
fresh stop receipt.
- Persist retry limits and idempotent requests on the existing recovery
record. Limit each server to two background exports. Add an indexed
candidate scan and a separate cleanup obligation.
- Add a task-editor recovery endpoint. Deny agents and viewers. Reject
caller-supplied stop or repair claims.
- Deliver waiting human input once through ordinary admission. Preserve
pause, approval, budget and assignment gates. Require historical
conversational-adapter evidence for legacy-to-Runner continuation.
- Include exact GitHub publication receipts in continuation context.
Preserve unknown effects and the original failed run.
- Show observed recovery progress, a transient-failure retry action and
specific service blockers. Keep saved messages visible. Suppress false
startup feedback and implicit Todo promotion behind a file hold. Hide
unavailable workspace links.
- Update execution semantics, capability maps and production-component
stories.

## Verification

- Red: the original read model failed the new recovery-progress
assertion; the other 23 checks in that file passed.
- Passed: recovery regressions with 28 cases with real PostgreSQL,
files, tar and Git operations. Lifecycle provider calls are controlled
test boundaries. Coverage includes native/legacy export, concurrent
owners, rollback after export, interrupted archive export with a new
database connection, lost replies, historical discovery, durable retry
limits, separate cleanup and saved-input delivery. The actual candidate
query uses its partial index with 3,000 unrelated history rows. A first
automatic repair can bind verified old-controller stop proof without an
accepted native result. Review also reproduced and fixed export-only
continuation and cleanup lost after a committed repair. Cleanup remains
discoverable without waiting input and after task reconciliation.
- Passed: two GitHub integration cases verify that continuation context
carries the existing publication receipt and does not write another
response. Company and task boundaries are checked.
- Passed: 293 continuation, workspace-sync, platform-receipt and OpenAPI
checks. After file repair, actual dispatch retains pause, cancellation,
approval, real budget-policy and assignment gates.
- Passed: 174 route checks, including editor admission, agent/viewer
denial and rejection of fabricated repair claims.
- Passed: 351 task detail, workspace properties and comment-reopen
checks after updating the new read boundaries and asynchronous
workspace-link expectations. Two new route cases keep held tasks Blocked
when a comment is saved.
- Passed: 265 task-thread and recovery-notice checks. The broader
continuation suite also passed; its new legacy migration case first
exposed a gap that the focused recovery suite now covers.
- Passed after rebase: `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build`. The later
master merge adds an unrelated permission migration; recovery migration
generation and safety checks passed after the merge.
- Passed: token gates, module boundaries, map structure and migration
checks. The recovery index is migration 0360 after current master.
- Browser: inspected the production recovery component and its
retry-to-queued transition with fixture data. The first dev dependency
load failed; a reload after optimization resolved it. This is UI
evidence, not a live provider recovery claim.
- Every test shard passed on final commit `bbbc09efb4`. The older local
`pnpm test:run` was stopped after the complete CI test matrix passed.
Local full typecheck and production build passed. The first CI build
compiled and booted, then lost its runner during the clean public
npm-install check. An isolated retry passed the build, production boot
and clean public npm-install verification.
- Greptile reviewed final commit `bbbc09efb4` at 5/5. All review threads
are resolved.
- The change is not deployed. Hosted recovery remains unverified until
the served revision includes this change.

## Risks

- Recovery crosses process, provider and persistence boundaries. Missing
or mismatched ownership, stop, descriptor or file evidence keeps the
hold. It never selects a replacement allocation or silently starts over.
- File recovery does not certify external action outcomes or authorize
replay. New input still uses normal execution admission.
- Historical sources without sufficient durable evidence can remain
blocked. Destructive reconstruction stays separate.
- The index migration is idempotent. It changes no task data. Snapshot
pruning follows repository policy.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, `gpt-6.1-sol`, with code execution and browser tools.
`gpt-6-astra` assisted earlier investigation. The runtime does not
expose the context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 8a3d2cb04f fix(recovery): avoid recursive holds for undispatched waits (#16894)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Queue admission must stop work while a previous execution needs
recovery.
> - The final dispatch gate can cancel a queued run before it starts.
> - Legacy recovery treats this known wait as an unknown provider
outcome and creates another hold.
> - The extra hold can survive repair of the original execution and
leave saved messages stuck.
> - This pull request uses one database proof to prevent the extra
incident and recognize old false holds.
> - Saved input can then pass through normal admission with the original
work and safety gates intact.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #15483.

**What happened?**

The dispatcher writes an `execution_reconciliation_required`
cancellation when an existing recovery hold denies a queued run. No
runtime is selected and no provider starts. Legacy recovery later
creates a `legacy_execution_requires_reconciliation` action for that
cancelled admission. Its settled `replay: blocked` record remains an
effective hold after the real source recovery finishes. The task has
saved messages but no eligible Retry or Continue action.

**Expected behavior**

A verified admission denial stays a wait. It must not create another
provider-outcome incident. Existing false incidents must stop blocking
after the server verifies their recorded source. Real execution,
uncertain outcomes and file recovery stay held. The harness determines
these infrastructure facts; the user does not certify them in a form.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Persist a queued-run gate cancellation with its task-bound
`executionWait` receipt and no execution authority or resource evidence.
2. Run legacy reconciliation. On the old code, it creates a second
incident.
3. Persist the old incident as resolved with replay blocked, then clear
the original source hold.
4. Restart queue recovery with saved user messages. On the old code, no
successor is admitted.

Related work: #15965 covers other pre-start dispatch cancellations but
explicitly excludes this existing-hold code and leaves historical holds
unchanged. #16634 covers stale-cancel classification and queue drain,
without re-evaluating historical effective holds. #15383 covers an
operator Stop during conversation startup. This change addresses the
existing-hold receipt and its persisted false incident; it does not copy
those broader changes.

## What Changed

- Add one database proof for a legacy admission denied by an existing
execution hold. Require the exact dispatcher receipt, matching task
identity, no runtime or process claim, no lease or finalization
coordinator, and no execution events.
- Use the proof before legacy recovery creates an incident and when it
computes effective historical holds. Keep the old audit rows.
- Preserve source file obligations and the original recovery action.
Keep the normal queue, pause, ownership, company and budget checks.
- Add real PostgreSQL regressions for incident prevention, old state,
concurrent queue recovery, message order, conflicting evidence and scope
boundaries.
- Update the execution contract and both recovery maps.

## Verification

- Red: the regression on unfixed source fails on incident
classification, historical hold projection and actual periodic
saved-message admission. The other 24 safety cases pass.
- Green: all 27 new database cases pass. Two safety assertions were
aligned with the existing contract: daily limits stop dispatch after
queue promotion; a human comment can intentionally reopen a terminal
task. The final regression checks the real daily dispatch gate and agent
pause.
- Existing `explicit-native-continuation.test.ts`: 255 tests pass.
Existing legacy recovery and PostgreSQL dispatcher suites: 61 tests
pass.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, `node scripts/check-maps.mjs` and
`git diff --check` pass.
- GitHub PR CI run `39313204660` passed on
`ef6009e656b7c9b4c788480dce322874565960ac`. All 54 successful check-runs
and the Snyk status are green. Two optional Storybook checks were
skipped. The independent Paperclip Review completed with a neutral check
and a 5/5 assessment with no findings. Greptile also reports 5/5 on the
same commit. There are no unresolved review threads.
- `pnpm test:run` is still running locally. Its overall result is
pending; no full local suite pass is claimed. The exact-head GitHub CI
suite passed.
- A read-only probe of an affected hosted task verifies the same
database proof and projects no false blocker with the working source. No
live rows were changed. Deployment and a real resumed provider run
remain unverified.

## Risks

- An incorrect exclusion could admit work with uncertain effects. The
proof fails closed on missing receipts, source mismatches,
runtime/process ownership, any retained lease, coordinator, execution
event or file obligation. Real upstream file recovery remains blocking
in the regression.
- The effective-hold query adds indexed existence checks scoped to the
recorded run and company. It makes no provider calls and performs no
database repair writes.
- Historical audit records keep their recorded outcome. Only their
effective blocking status changes when the server can prove the
admission never ran.
- No schema, permission, credential or UI form changes are included.
Live recovery still needs verification after rollout.

execution.

DottaandPaperclip 6bec153410 fix(runtime): retain cancelled workspaces before reconstruction (#16700)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native runs must preserve files when Stop ends a turn before its
result is saved.
> - The cancellation path could skip file retention and leave a prepared
remote workspace active.
> - An older controller could also admit an extra run while an earlier
lost-source hold was unresolved.
> - Rejecting every later run then prevented recovery even after that
extra run was stopped and its files were reconciled.
> - This change retains cancelled workspaces and records the exact proof
for a safely reconciled intervening cancellation.
> - Recovery can proceed without changing cancelled history, replaying
actions, or weakening execution gates.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #16583, #16690, #16696.

**What happened?**

Stop could acknowledge a native turn without recording its unsaved file
obligation. Reconstruction also rejected a later cancelled run after its
exact environment and files had been reconciled. The task could remain
inactive with an `in_progress` status, which the reconstruction endpoint
rejected.

**Expected behavior**

Retain unsaved files after Stop. Permit a board operator to reconstruct
from saved sources only after each intervening cancellation has a
confirmed stop and a file-only repair record. Preserve the original
failed export and the cancelled run.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Prepare a native workspace and cancel the turn before a structured
result exists.
2. Inspect its file retention and remote lease state.
3. For a task with an older destroyed export, reconcile the later
cancelled run's exact files and unperformed actions.
4. Request reconstruction from verified same-task attachments.

## What Changed

- Pin prepared native files before cancellation settlement. Defer
teardown if pinning fails. Use the existing stop-only cleanup worker.
- Repair active warm and ephemeral sources, plus stopping and
confirmed-stopped historical cancellations in bounded startup and
periodic batches. Preserve the existing exact-source checks. Bound
row-lock waits and advance past a busy source.
- Accept only same-owner native run-only cancellations with no result or
current coordinator, confirmed stopped leases, and board file-only
repair with `not_performed` action outcomes.
- Save hashes of each intervening repair and recheck them at queue claim
and final dispatch. Reject changed evidence or another later run.
- Expose saved-source reconstruction in the issue API for inactive
`blocked` and `in_progress` tasks, and hide it when an execution or
checkout owner exists. Permit the same inactive source at submission.
Keep the source, owner, version, attachment, budget, pause and retry
checks.
- Update the shared evidence type, recovery runbook and capability maps.
Add an optional cancelled-native no-action confirmation to file
recovery, resetting evidence when its source changes. No migration, new
endpoint, permission or dependency.

## Verification

- The new fixture fails on the original validator with
`workspace_reconstruction_stale` after valid cancelled-run file repair.
- Focused source and Stop retention tests: 94 passed before the final
contention case. The subsequent three-suite run passed 123 tests,
including real PostgreSQL lock contention and public
startup/API/final-dispatch paths. The final narrow-query rerun passed
all 123 tests. Review correction: all 143 tests passed across four
suites, including real lock contention through the teardown boundary and
stopping/stopped allocations.
- Six broader cancellation, executor, heartbeat and restart suites: 831
passed, 9 existing skips.
- Final correction: all 145 backend tests and all 36 recovery UI tests
passed. Real contention covers both warm reusable and ephemeral sources.
Optional no-action confirmation defaults to uncertified, and changing
source clears evidence. Workspace `pnpm -r typecheck` and token gates
passed on these sources.
- Maps, module boundaries and Git whitespace checks: passed. Full `pnpm
build` passed on the final `4e8c0e73ac` revision as well as the prior
reviewed heads. A full local run of the preceding fix completed with
21,724 passes, 109 skips and three failures in webhook body limits, a
status-card timeout, and a port-allocation fixture. All three suites
then passed unchanged in an isolated rerun (209 tests). The full local
run remains recorded as failed; the final head's full CI passed (55
completed checks, no failures). A fresh full local run is also in
progress on the frozen reviewed head.
- Preserved failures: the first attempt lacked a built plugin SDK; after
building prerequisites, the regression reached the expected validator
rejection. Treatment tests caught the file-only action's deliberately
null continuation owner. A real lock test then caught the database
driver's wrapped timeout error. Both defects were corrected and
retested. Independent review then found a teardown race after a failed
retention write. A second review found active warm sources excluded by
the historical policy filter; the regression reproduced both warm
failures before correcting the query. Its real-row-lock fixture
reproduced the failure; the fixed release guard and historical
stopping/stopped cases pass. No checks were weakened.
- A pre-deployment walkthrough caught the issue API still hiding
reconstruction for an inactive `in_progress` task. The status/capability
baseline reproduced three failures, including inappropriate capability
flags for execution/checkout owners. The fix uses the same
inactive-state requirements as submission; its positive fixture reads
the assembled issue API before reconstructing. All 117 tests in those
three recovery suites pass, and all 28 heartbeat-recovery tests pass
separately. Full workspace typecheck passed again. Full build passed
with the exact `4e8c0e73ac` stamp; latest-head independent review is 5/5
with no open findings. All 55 latest-head checks completed with no
failures.
- Live tenant acceptance remains pending. No successful reconstruction,
export or warm-process proof is claimed by these local tests.

## Risks

- Stop retains unfinished work, so storage remains until file recovery
and explicit cleanup complete.
- Reconstruction remains held for unknown or performed external actions,
foreign owners, live or rebound environments, accepted results, changed
evidence, and unrelated later runs.
- The sweep examines at most five candidates per pass. It uses a fair
cursor and bounded transaction waits. It performs no provider call and
starts no new turn.
- Intervening verification reads only the needed JSON fields. The source
transaction still serializes recovery for the same task.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, tool use and code execution.
The session does not expose an exact backend model ID or context-window
size.

DottaandPaperclip 7c7d2d8d2c fix(runtime): continue from saved sources after workspace loss (#16690)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The runtime must preserve saved work and prevent duplicate
execution.
> - Older cleanup could destroy a sandbox before its workspace export
finished.
> - The existing recovery controls require either the original sandbox
or recovered original files.
> - Surviving attachments can support a rebuild, but they do not prove
that missing edits were recovered.
> - This pull request adds an explicit reconstruction decision and one
fresh continuation through the normal execution gates.
> - Operators can continue useful work while the original failed run
remains truthful.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A historical failed export can have an accepted result, a prepared
workspace descriptor, and a confirmed destroyed sandbox. Its notice can
also say `new_source_execution_path` and disappear. The task then has
neither a truthful original-file repair path nor a supported
reconstruction path.

**Expected behavior**

Keep the missing-file obligation visible. Let an authorized operator
choose surviving task attachments and record lost work and external
action outcomes. Start one fresh continuation after current execution
checks. Keep the old result and failed export intact.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Seed a failed native export with a prepared descriptor and an exact
destroyed-lease receipt.
2. Resolve its notice with the historical `new_source_execution_path`
bookkeeping value.
3. Read the task. The baseline hides the hold even though no source
reconciliation exists.
4. With this change, choose **Continue from saved sources** and submit a
reconstruction decision.

Related public work: #16451 preserves healthy warm sessions. #16583
prevents destructive cleanup of unexported work. This change handles
historical source loss that those fixes cannot undo. Searches of open
and closed work found no equivalent reconstruction endpoint.

## What Changed

- Add a board-only reconstruction endpoint with `runtime:manage` and
task visibility checks.
- Validate the exact run, result, descriptor and destroyed lease. Reject
active copyback, competing owners, newer work, stale task status, and
foreign attachments.
- Record attachment hashes, missing work, and external action outcomes.
Preserve the original failed run, accepted result, prepared descriptor
and terminal failure.
- Hold other continuation paths until the durable reconstruction intent
admits its successor. Record that successor in the same transaction and
preserve the retry count.
- Add an operator control that distinguishes reconstruction from
original-file recovery. Update the recovery runbook and capability maps.

## Verification

- Exact baseline source returns no blocker for the destroyed-source
fixture. The same fixture returns a required recovery hold with this
change.
- New real PostgreSQL and assembled API/heartbeat suite: 25/25 pass. It
covers duplicate submissions, lost acknowledgement, context reset,
source identity, task ownership, concurrent execution attachment scope,
later human blocks, deleted sources and agent pause.
- Existing export retry, explicit continuation and recovery-action
suites: 386 cases pass. One new-fixture constraint error in the combined
run was corrected; the full new suite then passed.
- UI recovery suites: 46/46 pass across three files. They cover disabled
actions, loss acknowledgement, failure retention and runtime authority.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass. The first sandboxed
typecheck attempt could not open the TypeScript IPC socket; the
authorized rerun passed.
- Module boundaries, map checks, token gates and diff whitespace checks
pass.
- OpenAPI route coverage: 21/21 pass. The first CI head exposed a
missing endpoint registration; this head adds the registration and the
focused suite passes.
- Review identified a missing dispatch-time check and an isolated
attachment cache. Both are fixed. Claim and final handoff recheck the
exact successor, sources and current execution gates. A controlled
post-claim operator block prevents the assembled heartbeat from entering
the provider. The shared attachment cache refreshes uploads and removes
deleted selections.
- Final focused run: 180/180 pass across six suites, including
reconstruction, existing dispatch/stale-queue contracts and UI recovery.
- A second review reproduced cancellation by an already satisfied
historical connection card while the task was `todo`. Read-only
connection availability now works before checkout; active-task mutation
checks remain strict. The baseline failed two cases; after the fix all
74 connection and reconstruction tests pass, including revoked access,
pending questions and pending approvals.
- All current-head CI gates pass on
`9d197236da11fa24f1ceadf5589cb2b81179d824`, including general/serialized
tests, Runner, build and browser gates. Greptile is 5/5 for that exact
head with no unresolved threads. The full local `pnpm test:run` is still
running its serial server group; no full local pass is claimed. Live
staging recovery is pending deployment.

## Risks

- Reconstruction cannot restore missing bytes. The operator must
identify surviving sources and actions that must not be repeated. The
agent must verify those attachments before rebuilding.
- This path is limited to exact, confirmed destroyed remote sources with
an accepted result. Retained or uncertain sources keep their existing
repair path.
- No schema migration, credential change, budget increase or
warm-session policy change is included. Normal pause, ownership, budget,
approval and dispatch gates still apply.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, tool use and code execution.
The session does not expose an exact backend model ID or context-window
size.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #16219 and #16422. The duplicate search found no open Grok
workspace correction.

**What happened?**

A real Grok Stop test cancelled its run, fenced its assignment, denied a
stale progress update and cleaned up the sandbox. Paperclip also created
a file-repair hold. The recovery panel told the user to recover
workspace files, although the admitted external contract has workspace
access set to none.

**Expected behavior**

Keep the stopped session fenced and require inspection before new work.
Keep failed-run ownership settlement. Do not invent a file export
obligation for a session that cannot access the workspace. Native
sessions with writable or unknown workspace access must keep their file
safeguards.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Connect a Grok Bot and assign a task.
2. Let it accept the task and save a Paperclip checkpoint document.
3. Use Stop while it is working.
4. Inspect the task recovery panel. It asks for file repair after
sandbox cleanup succeeds.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Observed on Core 11d69d04c7 through the
actual Grok client. Reproduced against master with database-backed
regressions.

## What Changed

- Match the admitted native input to its run, company, agent, task and
external driver before treating workspace access as disabled.
- Keep coordinator ownership checks and failure settlement. Skip file
retention and the false file-repair obligation for that exact contract.
- Add inspection-only settlement for old Grok file holds through Runtime
recovery. Verify exact run ownership, fenced assignments, terminal
coordinators and managed lease stop receipts. Archive the false file
evidence and preserve no-replay.
- Keep historical Dot recovery controls. Do not claim global
external-provider termination.
- Fix the later dispatch-failure owner so it cannot retain a
no-workspace external sandbox for a false file obligation.
- Cover both Grok and Dot, mismatched access evidence, native file
recovery and the assembled heartbeat cleanup path.
- Update the Grok guide and the existing release evidence plan.

## Verification

- Four database regressions fail before the correction.
- 68 file-recovery and cancellation checks pass. Grok, Dot and the
shared recovery notice pass 98 checks. The assembled heartbeat selection
passes both cases; 404 unrelated cases were not selected in that local
command.
- The lifecycle regression caught an unsafe early-return prototype. The
final code keeps coordinator settlement for both workspace cases. A
separate assertion was corrected for the run-state projection's explicit
nulls. The failed attempts remain in the private evidence record.
- Repository typecheck and build, token gates and Storybook build pass.
The branch was rebased from ea4aa185b0
onto 7420af26fc, whose additional change
affects CI profile exports. The core recovery checks are repeated after
rebase.
- On the earlier deployed source, a real 824-second task survived an
actual same-image controller restart with its original run, assignment,
process and lease. It completed canonically and cleaned up without an
extra wake. The active Stop test denied a real stale update and
completed connection inspection and authenticated re-verification. These
results establish the observed baseline and defect; they do not qualify
this patch's deployed behavior.
- Review found two valid gaps: the old file obligation still blocked
fresh input, and dispatch failure could request retention earlier. Both
are corrected. The follow-up passes 128 focused tests and server
typecheck. The recovery test proves fresh user continuation after
inspection, authenticated re-verification, and managed Runner cleanup
while the old assignment stays fenced.
- A second review found a partial-transaction gap. Routine readiness now
commits as invalid before task holds retire. All 43 Grok routine tests
pass, including a held task lock and an unrelated active assignment.
- Repository typecheck and build pass after the first review
corrections; final server typecheck also passes. The full local suite is
still running and is not claimed as passed. The first follow-up CI timed
out at 15 seconds in one unchanged run-history case; all 91 cases pass
locally. The cause is unproven.
- The final head, 33e4361911, passes 54
checks plus one successful status context. Two optional Storybook jobs
are skipped. Greptile reviewed that exact head at 5/5 with no unresolved
threads. All source CI suites pass on this final head without retry. The
earlier runner-shutdown and timeout attempts remain recorded.
- An actual deployed historical recovery and fresh Stop repeat are still
required.

## Risks

An incomplete or mismatched contract must retain file safeguards. The
change uses stored admission evidence rather than current agent
configuration. Historical records stay auditable and do not gain
automatic replay or a generic Retry action. Operator inspection and a
fresh authenticated verification remain required before new Grok work.
Global Grok termination remains unconfirmed. No schema migration is
needed.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 5a6d0d08a7 fix: record verified workspace file recovery from tasks (#16104)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Recovery must preserve files and show the next operator action.
> - A stopped run can leave a file repair hold after its recovery action
is resolved.
> - The task notice shows that hold but has no form to record verified
file recovery.
> - A chat connection can also replace the file repair instruction with
a chat retry instruction.
> - This pull request adds a file recovery form and preserves the file
repair instruction.
> - The form records evidence for the original run and keeps the current
task status.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A retained workspace file hold can block a task after its recovery
action is resolved. The task page offers no file recovery form. A chat
binding can hide the required file repair instruction.

**Expected behavior**

An authorized board member can record verified recovery of the original
files. The server checks the original stop proof. The task keeps its
current status and does not start another run. Chat instructions must
not replace file repair instructions.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a stopped legacy run with a retained workspace recovery marker
and a resolved recovery action.
2. Open its task page, including a task with a chat connection.
3. Observe that the file hold has no supported form to record verified
recovery.

Refs: #15857, #15824, #16095. Those PRs address shutdown export, native
finalization and workspace source isolation. This PR uses the existing
file repair API.

## What Changed

- Add a board-only file recovery form with evidence and an explicit file
verification confirmation.
- Preserve the current task status when recording file recovery.
- Project whether the original recovery marker supports file recording.
- Keep file repair instructions when a task has a chat binding.
- Add UI, route and Storybook examples for success, denial and
chat-connected file holds.
- Document the recovery flow and update the affected Storybook catalog
entries.

## Verification

- Merged master `c8efdbfba43` and resolved both rounds of catalog/index
conflicts. Upstream review notes and classifications are preserved,
together with all four retained-file recovery examples and their stable
story IDs. Both fix branches also combine without merge conflicts or
catalog fingerprint drift.
- Passed locally after conflict resolution: 47 tests covering the file
recovery UI, execution blocker notice and retained workspace repair
route. The earlier ownership-route pass also covered 196 tests.
- Passed: UI token gates, the complete Storybook catalog check with no
drift errors, feature and agent map structure checks, and all 17
catalog/index script tests. Verification inventory counts match all 262
authored suites and 2,485 story IDs. The upstream production
verification obligations remain intact.
- Passed: full workspace typecheck, build and Storybook build on latest
head `10ac22b35d0a4fe469cf620914845c509046da48`. The built index retains
all four file-recovery story IDs.
- Latest head `10ac22b35d0a4fe469cf620914845c509046da48` has 54
successful checks and two intentionally skipped Storybook checks. Apex
is 5/5 on that exact commit, with no unresolved findings. The full
general/serialized suites and all eight browser shards passed in CI.
Local tests use the focused suites above. Storybook browser interactions
have not been executed locally.
- Manual check: open a task with a retained file hold. Verify that
evidence and confirmation are required. Record verified file recovery.
Confirm that its status stays unchanged and no run starts. Repeat
without board runtime access and with an unverified stop receipt.

## Risks

- The form records an operator attestation. It does not recover files
itself or prove external action outcomes.
- A stale source or missing stop proof must remain rejected by the
existing server route.
- No database migration or automatic task retry is added.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 (`gpt-6`), used through Codex with reasoning, repository
tools, code editing and test execution. The exact context window size is
not exposed by this environment.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip f1c44b7b56 Preserve remote work when required workspace restore fails (#15479)
Persist exact source-retention obligations before run finalization and protect them across cancellation, restart and task changes. Require board-authorized repair evidence without replaying old work or changing current task ownership, state or locks. Hide an unavailable retry action and document operator recovery and retention costs.

Validated with 674 scoped regressions, 224 combined integration tests, full typecheck/build, independent safety reviews and green CI with Greptile 5/5. No historical file recovery is claimed.

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.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip bd6caf51bb fix: preserve restore failure results and stop unsafe retries (#14035)
Preserve agent output and earlier execution errors when workspace restore fails. Report the restore phase and confirmed saved-plan links. Require verified repair before retrying unsafe archives, while preserving approval states and the retry budget.

Verified with full CI, 506 focused regression tests, and Greptile 5/5 with all review threads resolved.

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
34625037394](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34625037394)
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.
