ec3b558277 fix(server): schedule accepted native response recovery (#17696)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native runs store accepted results and their finalization decisions.
> - A completed run can still owe its public answer after an
interruption.
> - Periodic recovery scans for that answer even when no new work
exists.
> - This pull request wakes recovery from committed changes and saved
retry deadlines.
> - The existing owner still verifies the result, source, and current
publication authority.
> - Settled or dormant response work no longer needs its own periodic
scan.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17690 (merged). This is slice 48 of the sleep migration stack, now
based on master. Related: #17661 handles GitHub terminal publication;
this change handles native accepted-response presentation.
Governed-review presentation remains a separate duty.

**What happened?**

Native finalization recovery repeatedly checks already accepted results
for a missing answer. Removing that check without complete notifications
would lose responses when evidence arrives late, an agent resumes, or
admission settles after execution.

**Expected behavior**

Recover the answer from its saved result when a supported change makes
it eligible. Retain real retry deadlines. Stop querying when the answer
is selected or cannot currently be published. Reconstruct work after
restart.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Commit a native accepted result with no selected response comment.
2. Run finalization recovery while its source is unavailable or locked.
3. Restore that source or release the lock. The answer must appear once
without repeating provider execution.

## What Changed

- Honor recorded non-create decisions and skip-comment policy in both
discovery and recovery. Apply durable conversation/result/continuation
guards before recovery locks. Preserve genuine unanswered and legacy
recovery.
- Scope routine response wakes to the affected issue/run. Coalesced
input names its active run; pending-effect settlement names its issue.
Sixteen existing global authority/configuration hooks use one explicit
company invalidation boundary. No new transaction wrappers or tables are
added.
- Add an accepted-response worker using the existing delivery
coordinator and scoped deadline helper. Preserve saved retry deadlines
and pending-effect fences under the owner's lock.
- Share the finalization notification boundary. Wake on finalization
settlement, exact accepted-result/final-message evidence, agent
availability, retry admission, and existing chat authority changes.
- Keep lifecycle policy in services. A narrow pre-write status hook lets
lifecycle retain ownership of its transaction and status transitions.
- Register the worker during enabled maintenance startup. Remove its
authority subscription on shutdown. Periodic replay skips this duty on
both committed and fresh-commit paths; ordinary finalization and
explicit recovery retain their behavior.
- Add a partial index and expression statistics for unpresented native
runs. Migration 0412 supports concurrent replay and adds no queue table.
- Add real PostgreSQL and lifecycle coverage. Preserve the
implementation and producer audit in the plan document.

## Verification

- Additional real Photon callback acceptance on the published production
code disproves the security warning: ten active assertions cause zero
response-recovery hints/SELECTs, while three concurrent assertions
during an actual attention-to-active recovery cause exactly one
wake/SELECT. The existing locked status guard already enforces this
boundary. No production change was needed; the resolved finding now has
a successful current-head security check. The regression will be
retained with the next slice.
- Eligibility repair source `892f36e5f66ba1af123034936a7160c64c3ab883`
passes **1489 distinct server cases**: 1139 in six complete
recovery/finalizer/monitor/summary/workspace suites (81.02 seconds),
plus 350 selected chat cases (297.68s). Another 1463 chat cases are
outside the pattern; the complete 1813-case file is not claimed. All
eleven new regressions are included in that count. Five dedicated fresh
PostgreSQL 17 databases migrate through unchanged 0412, with no
fixture-source adaptations. Database build, server types/build,
boundaries and full-SHA migration ordering pass. All seven test source
hashes match.
- The exact published baseline first fails eight behavioral assertions
while the three genuine-answer cases pass. The same corrected test
source passes all eleven after repair: recorded none/reuse remain
suppressed; five ineligible history families take zero recovery row
locks across repeated issue hints; missing/legacy/create-null answers
still publish once; fresh periodic finalization defers presentation to
its worker. Earlier fixture setup and variable/compiler failures remain
explained in the audit, rather than erased by later success.
- Repair source `2fc8b0614aaf9ac7337045de4ced7325f95edc45` passes **1821
server cases**: 1496 in 13 complete producer/lifecycle/authority suites
(110.63 seconds), plus 325 selected chat cases (278.99 seconds).
Coverage includes all native-session cases, queue admission, status
decisions, membership/board access, the complete GitHub workflow,
accepted-response lifecycle and real authority restoration. The other
1477 chat cases are outside this selection; the complete 1802-case file
is not claimed for this repair run.
- Actual PostgreSQL regressions first reproduce a coalesced-input hint
missing its run scope and two routine hint paths producing 12
response-history SELECTs each after three notifications. The same
assertions pass with run-scoped coalescing and zero response-history
SELECTs for unscoped routine hints. Actual membership restoration still
publishes the waiting response once. Assertion time limits are
unchanged; this measures real driver SQL and persisted producer work.
- Eleven dedicated fresh PostgreSQL 17 databases migrate through 0412.
One embedded-only wake-queue fixture import temporarily uses its own
external database and restores byte for byte. All 14 selected source
files match pre-run hashes. This qualifies external-database behavior
rather than reproducing embedded CI locally.
- Master advanced independently with #18126's Pi archive retry fix.
Normal merge `2a535bc61259ef99387369e8b32498f774e5ba2c` preserves both
complete binary patches. All accepted server/database/UI/test/CLI trees
stay identical; the three independent runner installer/manifest files
are retained. All 13 installer tests pass, including stalled header/body
cancellation. Combined server types/build, boundaries and full-SHA
migration order pass. A subsequent normal merge of #18128 at
`e8b78cce5bb557b086bee9ca930eeaab1d09b244` retains its three test-only
file changes with both complete patches preserved. The changed HTTPS
backfill case passes on a fresh PostgreSQL fixture (1 selected case; 178
outside the pattern), and combined types/build, boundaries and migration
order pass again. All 14 repair source hashes remain unchanged. The
independent browser fixture changes are preserved; no local browser run
is claimed.
- The earlier source `9feec170ef8174011fc3c5d3d6d76f0a0f39fea0` passed
the 4171-case full baseline before this scope repair. That scope is
preserved in the audit rather than represented as a current full rerun.
All 0412 database bytes remain unchanged: original concurrent
index/statistics/ANALYZE, prior executable history, journal entries and
retained snapshots. Five snapshots 0408 through 0412 remain. The
populated 0411-to0412 upgrade preserved 410 prior receipts and 38
companies, appended one receipt and none on replay; index/statistic
checks passed.
- The earlier P2 security failure, Greptile's former conditional
dependency on #17702, and the subsequent actual Ponytail eligibility
findings are recorded in
`doc/plans/2026-10-25-native-response-presentation-sleep-audit.md`. This
PR now includes the issue-scoped pending-effect notification fix itself,
so it is independently correct before #17702. Fresh published-head CI,
Greptile 5/5 and a clean security scan remain required. No
deployed-sleep, external-wake or fleet-savings claim is made.


## Risks

- The writer contract is process-local. Independent SQL writers and
other replicas are not covered by these notifications.
- Unpresented backlog reconstruction still has memory and time cost
proportional to candidate count. Pages contain at most 100 rows;
execution uses the shared fair batch. Selected history is excluded.
Health-only signals do not trigger reconstruction.
- Publication policy remains with its current owner. Digest, company/run
binding, source authorization, selected-answer suppression, and
ownership fences remain required.
- The rest of native recovery and governed-review presentation still run
separately. This PR does not relax Cloud sleep eligibility or add
external wake coverage.
- The stack parent has merged and its actual ancestry is reconciled.
This publication still needs fresh current-head CI and review.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, repository tools, shell
execution, and PostgreSQL tests. The runtime does not expose a more
specific model identifier or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 208a093d19 fix(chat): preserve resumed review waits and retry newer saved input (#17725)
<!-- entire-trail-link-start -->
https://entire.com/gh/paperclipai/-/trails/36/changes/paperclip/36
<!-- entire-trail-link-end -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - GitHub review agents publish findings and wait for an authorized
reply or head change.
> - Review tools could retain the requester after resume while
completion lost that same wait proof.
> - A yielded report could then queue its own continuation or repeat a
missing-wait error.
> - Ordinary Retry could also select an older failed turn while a newer
saved request had no admission.
> - This change shares the existing authority proofs and canonical
admission owners.
> - Current access, publication, execution and budget gates remain
required.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17318. Builds on the canonical saved-input retry owner in #17733.
Related #16550 covers deferred legacy comments after ownership waits.
The separate recovery repair in #17724 owns the cleanup-to-saved-input
handoff; this PR does not add a second admission owner.

A resumed review could publish an assessment, then turn its
`response_wake` into an immediate `issue_status_changed` wake. A
provider that omitted its continuation could instead repeat a completion
error. A newer linked-human message saved during a budget hold could
also remain unstarted because Retry selected the older failed source.

## What Changed

- Resolve passive review waits through the accepted requester ledger
used by GitHub tools. Require the latest reviewed head, exact company,
task, agent, repository and processed publication under current access.
- Fill omitted/null yielded continuation from that server proof. Permit
an inherited normal tree resume only through its accepted parent
identity. Permit an ordinary follow-up only after this run has a
processed useful reply linked to its exact inbound message. Reject
acknowledgements, partial assessments, pending or uncertain writes as
that reply proof.
- Recheck the same run/review/head/source proof during feedback,
finalization and final status commit. Preserve explicit malformed-input
rejection and Done policy. Add no monitor permission or publication
grant.
- Keep heartbeat and publication projections narrow. Preserve both
published Copilot v62 identities and generate source-bound v63 from the
pinned merged base. No v63 live qualification is claimed.
- Certify the structured isolated-directory binding failure only at its
pre-allocation boundary and only through canonical task Retry. Other
workspace validation reasons and unknown effects remain denied.
- Route Retry to eligible newer saved input through the existing
canonical owner. Preserve the old result and skipped receipt. Require
current principal, source, App, runtime fence, budget, native ownership
and exact cleanup proof.
- Recover absent historical App metadata only through an earlier trusted
processed response receipt and an immutable non-null endpoint claim.
Explicit malformed or conflicting metadata stays denied.
- Revalidate execution through the exact claimed wake, coalesced task
Retry and resolved user-continuation receipt after admission. A second
normal Retry can recover the exact never-started authorization failure
with unchanged saved input. Require empty execution evidence, exact
diagnostics and no allocated or active executor.
- Explain when a recorded result prevents exact replay. Ordinary board
Retry directs a new task message to continue from saved work. Inherited
requester identity alone never grants replay.
- Keep accepted board-message preparation failures with the canonical
task Retry owner. Certify the exact unchanged comment, original user
wake, accepted same-user identity and absence of provider execution. Pin
that source, recheck it at admission, and bind identity initialization
to the coalesced intent and exact claimed successor receipt.
Uncertifiable sources retain an actionable fresh-message refusal.
- Return safe named authority categories for board Retry refusals.
Update execution documentation and capability maps. Add no schema or
polling loop.

## Verification

- A fresh external review request exposed a separate isolated-directory
preparation failure before allocation. Its first normal Retry saved an
intent but admitted no successor. This follow-up certifies only that
exact structured preparation boundary through the existing canonical
Retry owner, with trusted failed settlement and no executor, lease,
result or output. A real HTTP/queue regression reproduces the missing
successor before the repair. Twenty-three current-source safety cases
and the final 98-case Retry/HTTP group pass, including a fresh click
after a denied intent, source revocation, accepted results and the older
direct API remaining denied. The warning case uses actual configuration
preparation and production event append; unknown warning shape or
provider provenance stays denied. Full workspace typecheck, build, maps
and diff checks pass. Renewed hosted normal Retry now succeeds on the
final combined source: it preserves the exact saved request and linked
requester, starts one native successor in a fresh attempt workspace,
publishes the current-head 2/5 assessment and commits In review with
passive response wake.

- A later hosted normal Retry published a low-score assessment but lost
its accepted source identity because the previous attempt failed before
identity initialization. It repeated continuation errors, then submitted
Done. This is failed acceptance, not a successful qualification. The
initializer now retains the exact source only after execution-time
failed-chat Retry authorization; generic Retry and Done policy are
unchanged. A real queue/initializer regression fails with a null source
on the previous code and passes with the newer saved source. Two real
database completion cases verify that source yields the authoritative
wait and commits In review. Renewed hosted normal Retry now retains the
accepted source and exposes the authoritative current-review wait. It
completed after two semantic feedback corrections (wrong contract
revision, then wrong criterion IDs); the correct contract was present in
emitted input. The third finish was accepted and committed In review,
with no missing-wait loop or Done escalation.
- Repeated board-message preparation failures now walk their canonical
intent, failed dispatch and accepted parent identity, rechecking each
contained predecessor. A production queue regression fails the second
ordinary HTTP Retry before the repair and passes afterward. Changed
source, contradictory execution evidence and cyclic receipts remain
denied; traversal stops after twenty links.

- New inherited omission cases failed before the repair. The final full
PostgreSQL 18 wait/status suite passes **252 tests** under Node 24.22.
It covers omitted/null input, malformed-first recovery, same-head
resume, exact-source replies, changed heads, revoked access,
pending/uncertain/mixed publications, final commit revalidation, no
duplicate review and no self-wake.
- **15 existing publication tests passed before the pinned merge** on a
separate fresh database. They retain default partial-delivery and
failure-fallback behavior. Context reads remain below the unchanged 16
KiB heartbeat and publication response limits with large saved output
present.
- Saved-input tests cover a real signed PR webhook, production
accounting-budget refusal, normal policy recovery and canonical Retry.
Historical producer-shaped tests prove the missing-App case red, then
check trusted prior receipts and malformed, late, revoked or mismatched
proof. A broader order-coupled test was reproduced on the prior source;
its global fault injector now targets its own authorization query. The
43-case sequence passes without changing production behavior or its
safety assertions.
- New signed-ingress and real heartbeat execution tests reproduced the
admitted-successor failure, then the next normal Retry failure. The
final pinned merged source passes 249 full GitHub review/publication and
Retry cases on a fresh database, including all 49 saved-input cases. A
separate 74-case Retry/HTTP run also passes. Exact dispatch negatives
cover source, company, agent, task, successor, receipt, pause,
assignment, accepted success, controller and cleanup proof. Bootstrap
contradictions remain denied. The canonical Retry suite passes 16 cases
through its supported external PostgreSQL test connection.
- The normal board HTTP route reproduced the unusable inherited-result
refusal. It now returns actionable guidance without starting a
successor. The actual UI Retry hook and banner tests pass 12 cases.
- A production-shaped accepted board comment followed by a pre-provider
qualification failure reproduced HTTP 409 before the repair. The final
real HTTP/queue test certifies one canonical successor and preserves the
accepted identity. It rejects changed source, actor, task, agent,
result, controller, process, profile, allocation and receipt evidence. A
post-acceptance source change keeps the same intent pending. Execution
revalidation rejects removed or mismatched proof. The probe stops
deliberately after production identity initialization; it does not claim
provider execution. The final source passes the 75-case Retry group, the
focused two-case board/inherited-policy group and 19 canonical Retry
cases. Full workspace typecheck, build and map checks pass.
- Full workspace `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass. Map,
module-boundary and diff checks pass. Full local `pnpm test:run` remains
unverified. The 256-case explicit-native suite cannot initialize its
packaged PostgreSQL because libzstd is absent; an existing
command-scoped fallback did not resolve it. Current-head remote
full-suite checks are required. Merged-source full GitHub+Retry (249),
separate Retry/HTTP (74), full wait/status (252), profile/history and
completion (75), and visible Retry hook/banner (12) checks pass. The
fresh owned PostgreSQL 18 databases applied all 377 migrations.
- Actual Rust Runner, OpenCode 1.18.34 and exact DeepSeek used unchanged
production-generated synthetic contexts. Resume finished with an
explicit server wait. The author-reply trial omitted continuation twice:
its first report failed the existing empty-criteria check; the corrected
second report still omitted continuation and received the exact server
wait. It completed once with no missing-wait loop or Done escalation.
Controller acknowledgments were synthetic; these probes do not establish
hosted publication or board state.
- Hosted combined testing proved automatic admission of the exact saved
author reply, a useful GitHub answer and committed passive wait. It
required two malformed-continuation rejections before a nullish fallback
succeeded. A later normal Pause/Resume completed in one finish with
explicit response_wake and no new review/comment. The admitted normal
Retry then exposed the execution guard gap repaired here. Those remain
checkpoint results. On the final combined source, renewed normal Retry
completed actual native provider work and GitHub publication, committed
the passive wait, released ownership and cleaned up its environment. A
subsequent ordinary unmentioned author reply woke once, made no GitHub
tool calls or new assessment, and completed its first finish with an
explicit response wake. Both exact leases expired with successful
cleanup and the queue was empty. However, final destination inspection
found a separate automatic fallback overwrote the existing summary with
a generic no-final-response message. External summary preservation
therefore remains failed acceptance; the separate publication repair in
#17726 owns that producer. Full combined publication preservation has
not passed. These hosted runs include the pinned-base native additions;
they do not qualify Copilot v63.
- Current-head automated review is 5/5 with zero unresolved threads. All
current-head CI gates passed (54 successful checks/contexts, four
skipped, none pending). The earlier login-cleanup idle-work assertion
also reproduced locally while its controlled baseline passed; its cause
remains unknown, but the exact assertion passed in the fresh
current-head CI shard. No timeout, assertion or production workaround
was added. This PR is ready for review within its source, authority,
native finalization, state, wake and cleanup scope. The independent
automatic fallback publication regression is tracked by #17726; no
complete combined workflow pass is claimed.

## Risks

- The latest saved review defines the durable head boundary. Ingress
must record a new head before admission. A reply receipt proves delivery
only for its exact saved source; a shared GitHub comment ID alone cannot
authorize this wait.
- Historical App recovery cannot infer identity without direct proof or
an earlier valid server response receipt. It never replays that
response.
- This does not infer review-score policy from instructions or override
Done. No deployment, merge or repair of historical tasks is claimed by
the PR.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol`, with reasoning, repository inspection, code
editing and test execution. The context-window size is not exposed in
this session.

DottaandPaperclip f0877a9c7c fix: recover native work and requalify saved computers (#17724)
<!-- entire-trail-link-start -->
https://entire.com/gh/paperclipai/-/trails/32/changes/paperclip/32
<!-- entire-trail-link-end -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and preserves their work after an
interruption.
> - Native Stop must confirm termination and save the workspace.
> - Task and run views must show the current recovery receipt.
> - A new external reply can arrive while that cleanup is pending.
> - The reply must return to its original chat owner after cleanup.
> - A successful fresh retry also becomes the task’s bound workspace for
its next ordinary turn.
> - Managed computer updates can invalidate a saved snapshot
qualification.
> - This pull request fixes those instructions, acknowledgements,
handoffs and the existing native-agent Test path.
> - The operator can continue with new input while the stopped turn
remains preserved.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Stopped native runs could keep the initial workspace-repair instruction
after files were recovered. Native Stop could also leave the shared
cancellation state at requested after remote termination was confirmed.
A new GitHub reply saved during cleanup could then remain queued because
cleanup did not ask its original inbound owner to reconsider the
receipt. After a managed snapshot update, an existing native agent could
also need qualification while the generic environment Test required
instance-admin access.

**Expected behavior**

Show the current saved-work state. Acknowledge Stop only after exact
termination proof. Let an authorized operator use the existing
saved-agent Run test to qualify its current computer. After cleanup,
recheck the saved reply's current authority and admit it once as new
input. Preserve the stopped run and uncertain external effects.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Stop an active native turn before it returns a semantic result.
2. Send a new authorized external reply while cleanup is pending.
3. Let workspace recovery and provider cleanup finish. Inspect the run
instruction, Stop acknowledgement and queued reply.

Related work: #17594 preserves native processes through controller
outages. #17401 addresses a separate bootstrap failure. This pull
request does not replace those fixes.

## What Changed

- Use the exact run's workspace recovery receipt for task and run
guidance, including the Activity ledger.
- Retire an obsolete exact-session notice through the existing bounded
reconciler. Preserve the separate no-replay hold.
- Write the shared native Stop acknowledgement only after the audited
Stop intent and every exact remote lease receipt match.
- Delegate saved external input to the live inbound owner. Recheck its
source, actor, endpoint, principal and conversation generation. Promote
the same receipt in the transaction that creates its new run.
- Use that owner from the cleanup callback and existing stranded-queue
catch-up after a lost callback or restart. A denied source cannot abort
other items.
- Reuse the current private task directory after a successful fresh
retry. Re-read the company/task/workspace binding and validate the
canonical stable or attempt namespace without recreating missing files;
keep a later fresh retry separate.
- Extend the existing agent-scoped qualification owner to native agents.
The clean saved-agent Test qualifies its exact computer before runtime
testing. Reuse a current proof; require a real probe and verified
cleanup for a stale proof. Preserve draft tests and metadata-only
external/pool previews.
- Update execution semantics, capability maps and the recovery
verification recipe. Add a production-page Storybook interaction for the
normal native Test.

## Verification

- **Red:** persisted recovery states returned stale instructions; an
exact terminated native lease left shared Stop requested; the real
GitHub subscribed-message fixture left zero successors after cleanup.
The controlled baseline restored the previous production source,
reproduced the failure, then restored the fixed bytes with matching
SHA-256 hashes.
- **Green:** 382 durable-chat, native-continuation, Stop and recovery
tests pass. The real GitHub/PostgreSQL handoff matrix passes 12/12. It
covers callback, application restart, callback/sweep race, valid input
behind a deleted source, and denial for unknown stop, wrong allocation,
paused endpoint, revoked principal, deleted or changed source, changed
conversation generation and foreign scope. Repeated callbacks preserve
one receipt, its actor, one successor and the unchanged stopped
predecessor.
- **Workspace continuation red/green:** the real PostgreSQL preparation
flow created a fresh attempt and saved a marker, then rejected the next
ordinary turn with the same binding mismatch observed in deployed use.
The repaired preparation and filesystem suites pass 86/86: stable and
attempt-root reuse, saved-marker preservation, a later clean sibling,
changed current bindings, foreign company/task, closed workspace,
traversal, missing path and symlink refusal. No task row reset or
old-turn replay is used.
- **Qualification red/green:** a native saved-agent qualification
returned 422, and its normal Test skipped qualification. The repaired
path passes 224 qualification/immutable-snapshot/environment tests and
176 UI/upgrade tests. It covers revoked authority, foreign or changed
computer, current-proof reuse, failed/missing proof, draft settings,
settings changed during the probe, and external/pool previews. On exact
current source, the real local Harness / Runtime UI also qualified a
newly saved disposable Computer with missing proof through actual
Daytona, then completed the actual OpenCode/OpenRouter hello probe using
`openrouter/deepseek/deepseek-v4.1-flash-1017`. Supported availability
changed from Legacy-only to Paperclip Runner after proof persistence.
Qualification and runtime leases both completed normal release/cleanup.
The five prior task run IDs were unchanged; no task wake was created.
This is macOS source-server/UI with real Linux Daytona and provider
services, not a hosted UI claim. Test probes are archived by the
existing inspection contract; release does not claim physical deletion.
- Full workspace `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, token, map and diff
checks pass at `f6450f4739fc8141815b8b7c35fde22a655c5f90`. The broad
local `pnpm test:run` passed 24,899 tests and reported one existing
nested-clone test timeout at 15 seconds. The complete failing file then
passed 21/21 with the normal timeout; the exact case also passed on the
pinned earlier baseline. The broad runner stopped before its later
groups. No timeout or production workaround was added. Prior head
`f6450f4` has 53 successful checks, two conditional Storybook skips and
Greptile 5/5 with no inline threads. New workspace-reuse head
`fcb13399ec70f92f71bd8250081251dca3f48962` passes workspace typecheck,
full build, 86 scoped tests, maps and diff checks; Current-head CI has
53 successful checks and two conditional Storybook skips; Greptile is
5/5 with no inline findings. Deployed ordinary-turn reuse acceptance
passed as described below.

- **Hosted Stop proof:** the real GitHub issue-mention path used native
OpenCode, `openrouter/deepseek/deepseek-v4.1-flash-1017`, Daytona and an
exact low-trust task boundary. Normal UI Stop interrupted an active Bash
call. Native and shared acknowledgements matched the exact lease.
Automatic recovery saved exactly `STARTED\n` (8 bytes), with no finish
marker. Reload showed Stopped and saved work recovered. Only the
original cancelled run remained. Normal five-minute cleanup completed
its exact provider-destruction transition.
- **Limits:** the provider buffered command output, so the marker was
read after recovery. The approved local provider credential could not
inspect the hosted sandbox; its 404 is not deletion proof. Cleanup
success comes from the exact lease's platform destruction transition. An
earlier hosted stale instruction disappeared after rollout with
unchanged raw run/action data; that historical cause remains
unexplained. Original incident holds and publication receipts were
untouched.
- **Hosted handoff proof:** after QA deployed the combined candidate
containing `46b2e99`, startup admitted the previously saved GitHub
author reply without another comment, Retry or manual action. The new
native run used the exact original wake receipt and saved comment. It
completed once, committed an external-response wait, preserved the
stopped predecessor, emptied the queue and left the task In review. The
answer appeared in the original GitHub conversation. Workspace
finalization and the exact lease's normal destruction transition
succeeded.
- **Hosted workspace proof:** on the combined candidate containing
`fcb13399`, normal Retry preserved the original authenticated GitHub
request and completed a fresh native attempt. One later ordinary
same-head author reply then completed in the exact same workspace ID and
attempt directory, with no Retry/fresh directive. Its input tree digest
matched the Retry's finalized digest; final copyback preserved that
digest. The persisted assessment row and all five prior run records were
unchanged, exactly one new reply run completed, and the task returned to
In review with an empty queue and no live run. Both exact leases
completed normal verified destruction. This used real native OpenCode,
the exact DeepSeek/OpenRouter model and Daytona, without workspace-row
repair or a new remote marker.
- **Publication limit:** the workspace audit compares the persisted
assessment and run history. The ordinary reply exposed a separate
destination-summary fallback that changed the visible GitHub summary
despite the preserved assessment row. The publication track is repairing
that behavior; this proof does not claim the visible summary was
preserved.
- **Deployment boundary:** current-head CI/review and hosted same-source
Retry/ordinary-workspace reuse acceptance passed. The separate
visible-summary publication failure remains owned by the publication
track. Combined hosted UI confirmation of the native-agent Test path is
coordinated separately. Actual missing-proof UI/provider qualification
has passed in the isolated local instance above; prior hosted Stop and
same-input handoff proof remains separate. No merge or deployment is
performed by this pull request.

## Risks

Recovery state and termination receipts must match the exact source run
and allocation. Missing or foreign proof keeps the hold. The chat owner
must retain the original receipt and actor and recheck current
authority. Cleanup cannot grant authority or replay the stopped turn.
Existing native ownership, Stop, budget, permission and uncertain-effect
guards remain in place.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol (`gpt-6.1-sol`) through Codex, with reasoning,
repository tools, source editing and test execution. The context-window
size is not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 338bf75761 fix(chat): admit task Retry after GitHub reconnect (#17733)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents and their tasks.
> - Task Retry must preserve saved input and enforce current access.
> - A GitHub reconnect invalidates old runtime callbacks.
> - Retry reused that old callback authority and rejected valid new
intent.
> - Retry also replayed an older failed request when a follow-up was
already saved.
> - This change admits a deliberate Retry under current authority and
transfers saved input once.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #16965, #17053 and #17317. These repairs preserve work and contain
old executors. This change fixes the subsequent chat admission boundary.
A search found no overlapping open reconnect/admission fix.

**What happened?**

Ordinary task Retry returned `chat_failed_run_retry_not_authorized`
after the same GitHub App reconnected. The endpoint was healthy, but the
saved request still carried its old runtime generation. A newer queued
follow-up also made Retry reject the older failed request instead of
continuing the follow-up. No successor was admitted.

HTTP qualification found two related defects. Concurrent clicks could
omit the canonical chat action from a response. Signed-in board dispatch
also passed an incomplete task resource to the permission resolver,
which rejected a permitted mutation.

**Expected behavior**

A deliberate Retry checks current authority for the same App, sender,
repository, conversation and task. It continues saved input once. A
later reconnect, changed App, revoked access or changed source prevents
dispatch. Old runtime callbacks remain invalid.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Admit a GitHub request and record a failed native run.
2. Save a follow-up while execution is blocked.
3. Reconnect the same GitHub App.
4. Click ordinary task Retry.
5. Before this change, admission returns 409. Without reconnect, the
newer input alone also causes 409.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Baseline source: `41c42895fa862c586ff841f8c50200d93ffc83a4`.

**Deployment mode**

Source checkout on macOS. Regressions use real PostgreSQL transactions
and the assembled chat, HTTP route and heartbeat admission services.
Provider boundaries are simulated. No hosted recovery is claimed.

## What Changed

- Record the admitting App identity for new GitHub deliveries.
Historical deliveries can use their original working-comment binding.
Reauthorize deliberate Retry under a pinned current generation and
credential-reference fingerprint.
- Select the complete saved-input queue from the failed run's actual
conversation before replaying the older failed batch. Keep exact-run
Retry bounded while ordinary task Retry supports larger queues. Transfer
its receipts with the dispatch transaction. Recover the same ownership
after restart or a lost response. Release unadmitted input after a
definitive rejection.
- Preserve canonical chat action IDs across concurrent clicks. Supply
current task status and assignment fields to board mutation checks.
- Keep exact-run Retry, stale webhook, containment, source integrity,
publication, pause and budget checks. Update recovery contracts and
verification recipes.

## Verification

- Red: all three new PostgreSQL regressions failed on unchanged
production code. Reconnect failed at chat authorization. Newer input
failed at the obsolete-source guard. The combined case also failed.
- Green: 61 selected chat integration cases passed. These include 27 new
cases and 34 existing cases for containment, retained-source recovery,
exact batches and source revocation.
- A further red/green PostgreSQL regression reproduces the 51-message
overflow identified during review. All 51 messages reach one successor,
including a later Retry of that successor. A separate 52-message
consumed-batch regression also passes.
- A competing conversation retains its own deferred message. Distinct
automatic policy contexts are checked independently; revoking only the
later policy blocks the whole unadmitted batch. Batch validation still
rejects a later message with a changed App binding or deleted source. A
real PostgreSQL query capture reduced the 51-message preparation from
1,103 calls to fewer than 180.
- All 16 durable task Retry tests passed.
- The real HTTP route returns 202 and admits one queued successor for
concurrent deliveries. Fault injection covers rollback during input
handoff, response loss after dispatch commit, and permission loss when
resuming an existing durable wait. A wait only adopts input after
current admission succeeds; a one-shot settlement marker keeps status
projection read-only. A new deliberate Retry works after another
reconnect or a failed successor.
- Current-App, repository, sender, source edit/delete, reassignment,
endpoint pause and board-permission controls passed. Historical
deliveries remain unchanged.
- Final-head CI: 55 checks passed, three expected skips. The unchanged
minute-bucket rate-limit assertion passed locally against PostgreSQL and
on its one CI rerun. Greptile reviewed the final commit at 5/5 with no
unresolved threads.
- Workspace typecheck and full build passed. Map alignment, module
boundaries, UI token gates and `git diff --check` passed.
- Hosted task recovery and a live provider turn remain unverified. The
local tests hold agent capacity to inspect admission without starting a
model or publishing a GitHub response.

## Risks

- A deliberate GitHub Retry can admit old saved input under current
connection authority. It requires the same App binding and current
access. It pins that admission; it does not rewrite the historical
delivery or make stale callbacks valid.
- The durable chat queue has an optional admission callback. It
transfers input only when the transaction contains a valid queued
execution or saved wait. Other chat consumers have no callback and
retain their behavior.
- No migration, Cloud dependency, deployment, configuration change or
workspace cleanup is included.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, source inspection, code
execution and GitHub tools. The exact serving variant and context-window
size are not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip d33b40a5c3 fix: recover saved work and provide reliable task Retry (#16965)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The control plane must retain work when an execution or workspace
export fails.
> - Retained-workspace holds can leave saved input waiting with no
usable Retry action.
> - Users cannot verify process ownership or repair provider
allocations.
> - This pull request gives system recovery a durable budget and gives
each deliberate Retry a durable intent.
> - Safe recovery can preserve files, settle an accepted result, or
prepare an independent workspace.
> - One task state keeps infrastructure diagnostics out of the ordinary
conversation while preserving real permission and approval gates.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A task with a retained workspace can show recovery, failed-run and
saved-message warnings at the same time. Historical runs without native
workspace descriptors cannot use the native restore path. Old recovery
metadata can prevent a new attempt even when an independent workspace
would be safe.

**Expected behavior**

Paperclip owns bounded infrastructure retries and file preservation. A
user can request another attempt with ordinary Retry. Thinking appears
immediately. The service preserves completed effects and current user
controls. It does not claim that starting fresh recovered the old files.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Retain a failed run and its workspace after export or process-stop
failure.
2. Save a follow-up while the recovery hold is active.
3. Open the task and try to continue without infrastructure credentials
or operator certification.

Refs #16906, #16835, #16883. This extends their recovery and receipt
contracts. Related work: #16962 and #16963.

## What Changed

- Add task-level Retry with company-scoped authorization, all-status
idempotency and durable admission before physical work. Keep exact-run
Retry compatible.
- Add typed recovery phases, finite persisted backoff, historical
adoption and durable local failure diagnostics.
- Preserve native workspaces or verified historical snapshots. Admit an
independent fresh workspace only after execution containment. Keep
old-source preservation and cleanup obligations separate.
- Carry completed publication and API receipts forward. Fence uncertain
mutation retries across replacement runs. Preserve connected-chat
identity and authorization.
- Re-enter normal dispatch for saved input. Reuse accepted results
through the existing finalizer.
- Use one task interruption projection across the thread, composer and
task list. Show optimistic Thinking, ordinary Retry and genuine user
gates.
- Add PostgreSQL, filesystem, API, browser-fixture and controlled
provider coverage. Document the behavior and update the feature/access
maps.

## Verification

- All GitHub Actions CI jobs pass on
`6d8c6d27d50586d8548b31d03b47f6d73a0ee11d`: typecheck, all
server/chat/workspace and serialized suites, Runner checks, eight
browser shards, canary and build. The required merge gate passes.
- Greptile reviewed the final commit at 5/5, with no actionable findings
or unresolved review threads. Its two earlier P1 findings are fixed.
- Full recursive typecheck and build pass locally on the final commit.
All 16 task Retry cases pass against isolated real PostgreSQL. The
unrelated-success case and both stale Retry cases fail on the previous
code and pass after the fix.
- The corrected gateway fixture passes its uncertain-mutation and
independent-read case. Four real HTTP API cases pass for definite
403/422 rejection, completed-effect reuse, and uncertain-effect fences
across deliberate and automatic retries. These focused gateway/API
checks used a temporary database lifecycle harness on an existing
healthy local PostgreSQL process. The standard repository helper is
unchanged.
- Earlier qualification covers 291 task UI cases, saved-file copyback
and ancestry, current Agent Chat ownership races, nine chat Retry API
browser cases, and six assembled browser recovery fixtures. A real
API/PostgreSQL/native-runner journey showed Thinking in 25 ms despite a
delayed response, admitted one successor in a separate workspace,
retained original files, and survived reload.
- The controlled Daytona test interrupts export, joins the controller,
restarts it in a separate process, and verifies one agent start, one
external sentinel operation, retained file contents and no premature
cleanup. It does not establish abrupt-kill or live LLM/GitHub
acceptance.
- The full local `pnpm test:run` was attempted and was not green: an
OAuth row-lock timing assertion failed, and a later suite exhausted
macOS PostgreSQL semaphores. The ten OAuth timing cases passed on rerun
against a separate database. Later embedded database initialization
failures remain recorded; the final CI matrix passes.
- Security scanning passed on production-code commit
`63953edf069b111c6becc3144dffa6deb52f68b5`. Its only successor changes
one test-fixture identity line. The final scan is neutral/inconclusive
because its pinned merge-base checkout failed or timed out. Both rerun
API requests returned 404, so no fresh successful scan is claimed.
Socket and Snyk checks pass on the final head.
- The optional Paperclip Review remains queued behind an earlier run in
workspace finalization. Its prior completed assessment was incomplete
because a comparison tool was blocked by the platform filter. It is not
counted as a completed code review. GitHub does not require this check
for merge.
- Hosted acceptance remains pending deployment. Local and CI results do
not establish recovery of a hosted task or its retained files.

## Risks

- Recovery changes span admission, physical ownership and dispatch.
Incorrect evidence could permit overlapping work. Existing physical
locks and authoritative stop requirements remain in place.
- The migration adds concurrent indexes. It requires the existing
top-level migration runner and retries incomplete index creation safely.
- A fresh attempt can complete while old-source preservation remains
unresolved. The service retains that obligation and does not report
those files as recovered.
- Unknown tool mutations remain blocked until their authoritative
receipt owner resolves them. Generic upstream tools have no universal
result-query protocol.
- Recovery and diagnostics stay inside the stack. No Cloud incident
endpoint, notification worker or new outbound reporting channel is
included.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The runtime does not expose a more specific
model version or context-window size. The model used reasoning, shell
execution, source editing and browser tools. No model subagents were
used for this implementation.

DottaandPaperclip df06df2306 fix(slack): allow direct messages without at-mentions (#16151)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Slack connections let people start and continue agent tasks.
> - The Require at-mention setting currently applies to channels and
direct messages.
> - A person who sends a direct message has already selected the agent.
> - This pull request exempts direct messages from mention checks,
including queued work.
> - People can talk normally in DMs while channel messages keep the
configured mention rule.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #15612, which introduced the Require at-mention setting. Searches
found no duplicate PR for the DM exemption.

**What happened?**

With Require at-mention enabled, a plain Slack DM does not start or
continue agent work. New Slack connections enable the setting by
default.

**Expected behavior**

Direct messages do not need an at-mention. Top-level DM replies remain
top-level. Channel messages and channel thread replies still follow the
saved mention setting.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Enable Allow direct messages and Require at-mention on a Slack
connection.
2. Send a plain DM from an authorized sender.
3. Confirm the agent responds without an at-mention. Send a plain
follow-up and confirm it also works.
4. Confirm unmentioned channel messages remain filtered when Require
at-mention is enabled.
5. Disable Allow direct messages and confirm new DMs remain blocked.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Source baseline: `eb06c9fedd`.

**Deployment mode**

Built from source. Automated tests use disposable local Postgres and
provider fixtures. This change has not been deployed or retested in live
Slack.

## What Changed

- Exempt DMs at inbound admission, task mutation, work authorization,
and heartbeat queue claim.
- Keep channel mention checks and all existing sender, endpoint, and
destination checks.
- Update regressions for new connections, follow-ups, deferred delivery,
and coalesced queued messages.
- Clarify the Slack settings copy, connection documentation, and
verification maps.
- Refresh the affected Storybook review references after source
inspection.

## Verification

- Passed 55 Slack and durable scheduler tests with Vitest on the current
rebased commit, including admission through the extracted inbound
module.
- Passed `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` on the rebased PR commit.
- Passed token gates and map checks.
- Passed Storybook catalog validation after rebase: 223 files and 2,210
stories.
- Full local `pnpm test:run` was stopped before completion after three
failures in the unchanged tool-access suite. All 418 tests in that suite
passed in a standalone rerun. The focused regressions passed; full
GitHub CI remains the merge gate.
- Greptile reviewed commit `b0293fa6571403c5e01c30bb7b5fcc5e91b88c97`:
5/5, with no findings or unresolved review threads. All 55 GitHub checks
passed on this commit; two optional Storybook jobs were skipped.
- No live Slack messages were sent during implementation verification.

## Risks

Existing Slack connections now accept authorized plain DMs even when
Require at-mention is enabled. Allow direct messages and sender
authorization still apply. Queued DM work follows the same exemption.
Channel behavior and DM reply routing are unchanged. No schema or
migration change is required.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6, running as Codex, with reasoning, tool use, and code
execution. The runtime does not expose a more specific model ID or
context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 3fc64c5156 feat(slack): add Require at-mention setting (#15612)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Slack messages can create tasks and continue existing tasks.
> - A reply in a subscribed thread can start agent work without a new
mention.
> - Some users want to control each reply with an explicit bot mention.
> - This pull request adds a Require at-mention setting to Slack app
settings.
> - The setting checks new messages and queued messages before they
start work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Slack app settings and the rules that admit inbound messages.

**Subsystem affected**

Server, UI, database, and shared API contracts.

**Current behavior**

After the bot joins a thread, an ordinary reply can wake the agent.
Direct messages do not need a bot mention.

**Proposed behavior**

Add Require at-mention below Allow direct messages. When enabled, each
channel message, thread reply, and direct message must mention the bot.
Direct messages must also be allowed.

**Reason and benefit**

Users can prevent ordinary conversation from starting agent work.

**Breaking changes**

New Slack connections require a bot mention by default. Existing
connections keep their saved setting. Work that has already started is
not cancelled.

**Additional context**

A search for existing at-mention PR titles found no duplicate.

## What Changed

- Add the endpoint field, schema validation, API response, and UI
toggle. New Slack connections enable the setting.
- Add an idempotent database migration and generated metadata. Renumber
it to 0321 after current master.
- Check the current setting at inbound admission, task mutation, and the
first heartbeat queue claim.
- Keep Slack tool access and recovery for already-running work when the
setting changes.
- Cancel queued batches that contain an unmentioned input, including
coalesced messages.
- Dispatch promoted follow-ups after the scheduler releases its agent
start lock. Preserve these checks in the new queue and run-control
modules.
- Filter unmentioned messages without retaining their content.
- Keep provider-message deduplication and existing access checks.
- Add thread, DM, duplicate-delivery, queued-message, and new-connection
default regression tests.
- Document the setting and its scope.

## Verification

- Previous head `16791bb7`: typecheck, build, all server shards, Runner
checks, and E2E passed. Two chat shards failed in three fixtures that
used unmentioned Slack messages.
- Update setup follow-ups to mention the Slack bot. Disable the mention
rule explicitly in the callback ordering test, which tests ordinary
subscribed replies.
- Previous local checks passed: six Slack integration cases, all 46
durable chat scheduler tests, all 24 queue/run-control tests, migration
safety, and UI token gates.
- Greptile reviewed `16791bb7` with 5/5. All review threads are
resolved.
- Head `53163c20f`: all five focused integration cases passed. These
cover all three prior CI failures and both default-on channel/DM cases.
Fresh CI and Greptile are running.
- Full local recursive typecheck, build, and repository tests were not
repeated for this fixture-only change. CI supplies these checks.
- Manual check: create a Slack connection. Require at-mention must be
on. An ordinary thread reply or DM must not wake the agent. A bot
mention must wake it once. Disable the setting and confirm ordinary
replies work again.

## Risks

- The migration adds a non-null boolean with a false default. Apply it
before the new server runs.
- The setting also applies to DMs. The UI help text states this.
- Enabling it blocks queued unmentioned work but does not cancel a run
that has already started.
- Full local verification is limited by the environment constraints
above; latest-head CI must pass before merge.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 (Codex agent), with reasoning, tool use, and code
execution. The runtime does not expose a more specific model version or
context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 889947c238 feat: add experimental native chat connectors (#13038)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - People also ask agents for work in their existing chat tools.
> - Each external conversation needs one task and a current authorized
source.
> - Retries, Stop, and provider failures must not duplicate work or
expose private data.
> - The first chat PR establishes the opt-in provider and data
contracts.
> - This PR adds experimental channel integration and its durable
control plane.
> - Users can request work from connected channels and inspect delivery
in Paperclip.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13100 and #13092. This is the second of exactly two chat PRs.
Foundation #13100 is merged and changed 143 files. Runner prerequisite
#13092 is also merged. This PR changes 400 files against master, below
the 500-file review limit. It contains no wireframe images or HTML
galleries.

## What Changed

- Add native Slack, GitHub, Microsoft Teams, Telegram, and Discord chat
connections. Keep chat disabled unless the operator enables experimental
chat connectors. Preserve the production GitHub tool connection and its
normal setup path.
- Bind each provider bot identity to one immutable Paperclip agent. Bind
each admitted external conversation to one task. Paperclip owns tasks,
runs, permissions, and audit records.
- Add durable admission, per-conversation queues, questions, task
controls, progress, final replies, images, files, and delivery receipts.
Board comments remain internal unless explicitly sent to the channel.
- Check current identity, provider reach, resource access, credentials,
runtime generation, and exact source before provider effects. Keep
private responses private. Never send raw reasoning, private logs,
credentials, or tool arguments.
- Hold uncertain sends for explicit audited resolution. Make Board
Send-to-channel atomic and idempotent. Keep reconnect and setup
credentials in Paperclip secret storage.
- Preserve current native-runner authority across retries, lost
acknowledgements, and recovery. Keep immutable input and completion
contracts separate from newer user input. Receipt reconciliation cannot
launch a provider.
- Reconcile chat close/new ordering and provider-effect lock order.
Audit resource access changes in the same transaction. Submit only the
selected resource from each UI toggle so stale pages cannot undo
unrelated access changes.
- Drain Codex stdout before certifying process exit. Bound the drain
with the existing shutdown grace. Preserve observed terminal authority
without treating an undrained process as successful or reusable.
- Incorporate master `018ca5da` with its ACP Stop, mobile task layout,
runner packaging, and official lock changes. Preserve dedicated
chat-answer continuations in both directions when ordinary queued
comments are adopted after Stop.
- Fence late adapter readiness behind an earlier Stop for the same run.
Preserve verified cleanup for registered adapters. Handle single Stop,
agent pause, duplicate Stops, and failure release without creating a
false cancellation receipt.
- Incorporate master's `6dd48cad4` wake-queue extraction. Preserve exact
failed-chat retry authorization and lineage, retired question-source
suppression, and the block on generic recovery that would discard the
admitted source. Fresh deferred input retains its separate promotion
path.
- Incorporate master `2a05b5ed3` and its queue-admission extraction,
simplified transaction ports, and separate runner CI job. Preserve exact
durable receipts, actor separation, and dedicated-answer isolation
through the new module. A failed receipt insert rolls back the
accompanying deferred-wake merge.

## Verification

Current head: `afe19299d06253cb628eb398e91d1200ea9f412a`, incorporating
master `2a05b5ed3457ea33efd6895520447d1d97fe98d8`. The conflicts are
resolved. This successor fixes two test-harness boundaries exposed by
CI: per-case route-module preparation and actual durable-save completion
before intentional runner termination. Production code and all existing
test/turn deadlines are unchanged. [Exact-head Greptile
review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13038#issuecomment-5587250594)
is **5/5**, completed September 10 at 13:20:55 UTC, with no actionable
findings or open review threads. [Fresh exact-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34481724341)
passes **all 24 jobs**, including Build and both required aggregates.
Normal exact-head guarded merge was attempted and rejected by the
remaining branch approval policy: CODEOWNER review is required and no
human approval is present. Normal **squash auto-merge is enabled** as of
September 10 at 13:36:26 UTC. Requested CODEOWNERS have been notified;
no approval bypass or self-approval was used. Earlier-head results below
remain historical evidence, not qualification of this successor.

- Final exact-head Linux evidence: 995/995 chat integration cases; 36/36
agent-skills routes; 35/35 runner live-session cases, including real
process kill/resume; 1948 runner Vitest cases with three existing
benchmark/platform guards; 870/870 API-authority cases; and 104 browser
cases with four existing optional skips. Rust, conformance/replay, full
repository build, typecheck, canary, all server/workspace shards, and
both required aggregates pass with normal CI concurrency. Earlier failed
attempts remain recorded below.

- Latest test-only qualification: 141/141
route/permissions/authentication cases pass in separate cold forks, with
plain server types and independent review clear. The real-runner suite
passes 35/35, with plain runner types and independent review clear. A
controlled premature-save acknowledgement fails as expected; matching
ownership/effect/process evidence, rejected saves, real turn outcome,
test abort, and pre-kill liveness are covered. No local reproduction of
the original CI scheduling failure is claimed. The preceding [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34479680858)
passes 21/24 jobs, including all 995 Linux chat cases and browser
aggregate (104 passed, four existing optional skips); only Build, the
skills serialized shard, and the required verification aggregate fail.
Its exact-head Greptile review was 5/5. Both failed job logs are
retained.

- Final fixture qualification: all eight focused Discord cases and all
995 chat integration cases pass. The exact modal statement/PID is
observed before taking the real connection lock; the test then proves
its actual blocking relationship before mutation. Original SQL
execution, provider behavior, negative assertions, and 1s/15s timeouts
remain unchanged. Independent review is clear and test/production hashes
remain frozen. The preceding [CI
attempt](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34477184777)
passed 22 jobs, including Build/runner, typecheck, canary, all other
test shards, and browser aggregate (104 passed, four existing optional
skips); the two fixture failures and failed verification aggregate
remain recorded, not relabeled as a pass.

- Current queue-module composition: 308/308 recovery/batching/queue/Stop
tests; 995/995 full chat integration; 89/89 module tests, including real
PostgreSQL receipt-insert rollback; 24/24 workflow/module-boundary
tests; plain server and UI types. All four actual local process/ACP
browser paths pass in 1.4 minutes. Fresh databases, no skips or retries,
stable reviewed source hashes. The initial boundary failure is retained;
its no-op service wrapper was removed without changing recovery context
or weakening the check. An exploratory standalone test-directory
typecheck fails because its new upstream transformation config is not a
standalone typechecking project; standard CI/build does not invoke it,
and no configuration was weakened to suppress those diagnostics.

- The preceding head `e02a63d462ce5d47433b0aeb632bb6fd20aab1ba` passed
[all 24 CI
jobs](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34436462958)
and exact-head Greptile review at 5/5. Required CODEOWNER review
prevented its normal merge before master advanced again.

- Final extracted-module composition: 307/307 recovery, batching, queue
and Stop-control tests; 995/995 full chat integration; 49/49 module
tests including eight PostgreSQL adapter cases; and 19/19 issue-update
tests. Plain server types pass. All four actual local process/ACP
browser paths pass in 1.3 minutes. Fresh databases, no skips or retries
in these cohorts, frozen source hashes, and independent review clear.

- The preceding head `3e4e1c1c` passes [all PR CI
jobs](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34415826820),
including Build and required `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e`. Both the
original Rust failure and the previously load-sensitive lineage fixture
pass with unchanged Linux concurrency. Master advanced afterward and
required this reconciliation.
- Final master composition: 448/448 focused UI tests, 186/186 adapter
tests, 24/24 queue/control tests, and 11/11 packaging tests. Plain UI,
server, shared, and adapter types pass. Token gates and diff checks
pass. Independent server and UI reviews are clear.
- Stop-registration regression: both real-service cases fail against
exact `a95` source and pass with the fix. The full corrected
recovery/control suite passes 265/265. Duplicate-owner and failed-Stop
controls also pass. Plain server types pass. The readiness barrier
prevents provider startup without adding an acknowledgment to an already
terminal run.
- Final qualification strengthens terminal-field equality and repeats
both affected cases successfully on a fresh database. All four actual
local process/ACP browser paths pass again in 1.3 minutes, without skips
or retries. The final screenshot shows Cancelled, a paused subtree,
retained input, and no error toast.
- Two new actual-service regressions fail before the merge fix. They
prove that queued-comment adoption could consume a dedicated chat answer
or add unrelated input to that answer. The fixed four-case cohort
passes, including ordinary upstream continuation and adapter Stop
controls. Full recovery passes 257/257. All four actual local
process/ACP Stop browser flows pass in 1.4 minutes, without skips or
retries, on a fresh database.
- The unchanged runner artifact was qualified with 171/171 transport
tests, 870/870 API-authority tests, conformance 1/1, and replay 11/11.
Six controlled reader tests prove the exit/drain repair. Its local
serial Rust workspace passed 546 top-level cases plus two invoked
helpers; the later passing Linux CI supplies default-concurrency
evidence.
- Prior exact-source full chat integration passes 995/995. Settings
regressions cover concurrent stale pages, 501 destinations, pending
state, rejected updates, and explicit retry. These deterministic tests
do not prove live provider behavior.
- Retained failed attempts and their causes are in the [qualification
log](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/afe19299d06253cb628eb398e91d1200ea9f412a/doc/plans/chat-adapters/2026-09-08-chat-queue-and-webhook-repair.md).
The first merge adapter run timed out while macOS slept for 290 seconds.
Its unchanged repeat passed with a temporary sleep guard. No assertion,
deadline, or CI gate was weakened.

Review commands include `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest
run src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts
src/__tests__/issue-queued-comments-routes.test.ts` and `pnpm exec
playwright test --config tests/e2e/playwright.config.ts
tests/e2e/acp-stop-continuation.spec.ts`. Database suites require fresh
disposable databases. See the [browser

for provider setup and separate live acceptance steps.

## Risks

- This remains experimental. Deterministic tests and bounded live
evidence do not establish every provider feature, tenant, permission
layout, or media shape. Teams work-tenant qualification is still open.
- Failed and uncertain provider effects remain visible and can require
operator action. A transport receipt does not prove recipient
visibility.
- Native controller and runner artifacts must remain compatible.
Preserve lease ownership, terminal authority, source binding, and
quarantine during future changes.
- Access and audit rows commit together, but activity notifications
remain best-effort. This is not a new durable event outbox.
- The PR operation does not deploy a live server, replace its runner, or
change provider permissions. Remaining live qualification is documented
in the [temporary
handoff](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/afe19299d06253cb628eb398e91d1200ea9f412a/doc/plans/chat-adapters/2026-09-08-open-qualification-followups.md).
