DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 96badeaa42 fix(lifecycle): never repeat a passed harness verification; settle a dead verifier's lease at once (#20030)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A new or reconfigured agent runs a harness verification (a hello
probe in a test sandbox) before it is ready, and its runs wait until it
passes
> - In the final Daytona restart chaos wave, a Codex agent's runs waited
about 417 s for their first sandbox, while boot took only about 32 s
> - Each control-plane restart killed the verifier. The next process
waited out the 120 s lifecycle lease and then booted a fresh sandbox.
Nothing recorded a configuration that had already passed.
> - This pull request records a passed verification by what makes it
valid and reuses it, and settles a dead verifier's lease on the shared
ownership path at once
> - The benefit is that a restart never repeats a passed verification,
and never leaves runs waiting out a dead process's lease

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
In the final Daytona chaos wave, the Codex agent was created at 09:55:46
UTC and its three runs were queued. Verification ran four times, in four
sandboxes, because faults K1, K4 and K2 each killed the verifying
server. After K2 the server was ready at 10:00:20, but verification
restarted only at 10:02:13: it waited out the 120 s lifecycle lease. The
first run sandboxes were created at 10:02:43, 417 s after launch.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create a Codex agent and assign it a task at once, so the task waits
for harness verification.
2. Kill the control plane (SIGKILL) while the agent is verifying.
3. The restarted server waits out the dead verifier's 120 s lifecycle
lease, then verifies again in a new test target. The task's first token
arrives about 130 s after the fault.

**Expected behavior**
- A passed verification of the same effective configuration in the same
runner image is never repeated.
- A verification is never restarted from scratch while its holder
process is alive. When the holder is proven gone, its lease is settled
at once.
- Runs gate only on a configuration that has never passed.

**Root cause**
`verify()` (`server/src/services/agent-harness-verification.ts`) leased
a fresh sandbox on every attempt and recorded nothing on a pass. The
lifecycle lease (`modules/agent-lifecycle/adapters/postgres.ts`) named
no holder process, so a restart could only wait for it to expire.

## What Changed

- Restart chaos TTFT driver: a `verify` phase, reported in its own rows,
and a `--verify-fault K1|K2|K6` option. The fault fires 1 s after
`verifying` is observed, so it interrupts a held lease. The seed keeps
each agent's creation body, so the driver can hire an identical agent.

- **Persisted pass:** new columns `agents.harness_verified_digest` and
`harness_verified_at` (migration 0448). The digest is an HMAC, keyed
with the instance's decision-signing secret, over:
- the fully resolved effective configuration: every value the test used,
including `cwd`, resolved credentials, and agent-over-environment
precedence;
- the selected AI account and its credential generation (connection and
grant ids and `updatedAt`, never the credential);
  - the environment and the runner image.

The key means the stored value cannot confirm a guessed credential
offline. For a sandbox, the runner image is an immutable image digest or
a qualified Daytona snapshot ID (`sandboxBinding`, now exported). For
local runs it is the server version. A mutable image or snapshot name,
or a local environment redirected to the managed sandbox, never reuses a
pass.
- **Server-only:** `normalizeAgentBaseRow` and
`redactAgentRowForResponse` strip the digest and its timestamp from
agent API responses.
- `verify()` still runs every account, policy and secret check, then
returns complete on a matching digest without booting a test target. It
records the digest on a pass before the lifecycle step completes, so a
restart in between reuses it.
- **Lease holder:** the lifecycle `claim()` stamps the claiming
controller process on the lease (`lifecycleOperation.leaseHolder`,
supplied through the lifecycle effects port) and clears the stamp with
the lease. The compare-and-swap release lives in the lifecycle module
(`releaseAgentLifecycleLeaseOfHolderInTransaction`).
- **Shared ownership path:** a new `agent_lifecycle_lease` kind with
`settleAgentLifecycleLease`.
- When the reconciler proves the holder gone, settle clears exactly that
lease (compare-and-swap on the holder), notifies lifecycle work, and
logs `agent.lifecycle_lease_reconciled`.
- A live holder is never taken over. The lifecycle state, operation and
progress are untouched.

## Verification

- `restart-verification.test.ts` (embedded Postgres, real lifecycle
store and worker, real reconciler pass):
- A verification held by a dead process is claimed and completed at once
after the startup pass, with the agent ready in under 10 s instead of
waiting out the 120 s lease. It fails without the new kind.
  - A live holder is never taken over.
  - The claim stamps the holder, and `defer` clears it.
- `agent-harness-verification-preflight.test.ts`:
- A second `verify()` of the same configuration allocates no target. A
revoked account still fails before reuse. A changed model, `cwd` or
literal credential tests again. It fails without the reuse.
  - A failed verification records nothing.
- Ownership report, all lifecycle module tests, remote, provider-API and
unit harness verification tests, and crash-point call sites: 13 files,
220 tests pass.
- Targeted local run: the TTFT driver's new `verify` phase (`--phases
verify --verify-fault K1`, Codex, 2 samples) hires a new agent, assigns
it a task at once, kills the control plane (K1) while it verifies, and
times fault to first agent token:
- Before (master server code): 129.8 s and 129.8 s. The restarted server
waited out the dead verifier's 120 s lease. Run-log TTFT from run
creation was only 4.1 s.
- After (this branch): 15.8 s and 17.2 s. The startup reconciler pass
settled `agent_lifecycle_lease` and verification re-ran at once.

## Risks

- **A stale pass:** the digest covers every resolved value, the selected
account generation, the environment and an immutable runner image, so
any change tests again. Rotating the instance signing secret invalidates
every digest, so each agent verifies once more.
- **Migration:** two nullable columns, no backfill. Existing agents
verify once more, then reuse.
- **Settle:** it runs only on a `gone` proof, compare-and-swap on the
exact holder. It never changes the lifecycle state.

Dotta eb7c7b083a Recover Muse verification after contact, restart and access restoration (#19909)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work under company access
rules.
> - Muse readiness uses a saved connection, receiver contact and an
authenticated challenge reply.
> - A failed challenge write could leave a saved contact with no later
recovery trigger.
> - A server restart or restored access must recover that contact under
current authority.
> - This pull request uses the existing delivery coordinator and saved
Muse state for recovery.
> - It keeps the normal receiver schedule, authorization checks and real
deadlines.
> - It lets eligible verification recover and lets idle verification
stop work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The first Muse receiver contact could persist while readiness challenge
creation failed. The contact then had no durable retry or startup
recovery path. Later membership, lifecycle or feature restoration could
also leave pending verification without a notice.

**Expected behavior**

Retry a temporary failure through the existing worker. Recover pending
contact after restart. Recheck the current company, agent, operator,
credential and binding generation before issuing a challenge. Stop
verification work while it is ineligible or complete. Do not revive
revoked credentials.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Use the normal invitation and OAuth registration, PKCE and token
flow.
2. Send one receiver contact and let its normal persistence schedule
run.
3. Fail the first readiness challenge operation before it commits.
4. Observe whether the existing worker retries without another contact
or a manual Verify action.
5. Restart the App with a new database owner. Check that it creates one
usable challenge from the saved contact.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The causal baseline test used the unchanged production implementation at
`90148317b2a447794ff29a4acae5648ad11a9770` plus its normal fixture. The
accepted positive test used `9d383041028776ad8469ac4af3fe14ba6c369425`.
The initial published head was
`fe518c9b72504daf6374225987f24d45bc7bcf75`. The lease/auth correction
was locally qualified at `cfd515a207416097fe8b586277d70c4fd4a679fa`. The
current candidate is `6efe722e7eb1e22acd466125c7b4a627611d0273`; its
added Cloud actor fixture correction passed the full normal owning
program and all 35 tests. Its current normal build, lifecycle owner
controls, healthy-wait and restoration measurements are described below.
Earlier results below are bound to their stated revisions.

Related public changes: Refs #19819 for original-principal
authentication. Refs #19750 for the transaction-owned external feature
read. These are related foundations, not duplicate fixes. The current
Muse title and head-branch searches found no duplicate
contact-verification recovery PR. Related maintenance work is #17000 and
terminal assignment settlement is #17793.

## What Changed

- Add a typed, exact-binding verification notice through the existing
Muse delivery queue.
- Register the first-contact notice before its durable write in the same
transaction.
- Recover pending contact from saved state at startup. Retry temporary
failures through the existing scheduler.
- Recheck current feature, lifecycle, credential and access state after
commit. Park unavailable authority without recurring verification scans.
- Add narrowly scoped notices to the existing access, lifecycle,
configuration, company, budget and settings write owners.
- Save a healthy lifecycle verification wait in the existing operation
JSONB. Keep generic unresolved-work and error retries unchanged.
- Commit authenticated confirmation and its lifecycle recheck in one
transaction. Retain a raced recheck under the active lease, and recover
saved waits once at startup.
- Retain a committed lifecycle recheck while an expired attempt still
owns the row, so its late wait cannot park accepted confirmation.
Replacement claims keep their existing owner fence and fresh fact read.
- Keep the receiver gap, persistence and per-segment contact limits
unchanged.
- Add real App OAuth, failure, retry, restart, challenge and quiet
evidence. Add two normal-route restoration tests.
- Document recovery, reconnect requirements and the existing
connected-receiver sleep restriction.

## Verification

- Causal baseline: the real invitation and OAuth flow saved one contact.
The first challenge operation failed. The normal test failed because it
observed one verification attempt instead of a retry. No setup or
cleanup failure was counted as this regression.
- At `9d383041`: normal own Shared/SDK, DB with migration 0441 assets,
Runner TypeScript core and surfaces, module boundaries, and all seven
normal App programs passed. One new redundant role comparison first
failed typecheck; that diagnostic remains recorded and the corrected
full App gate passed.
- At `9d383041`: all 17 maintenance component tests passed with zero
skips. All original deadline, rollback, drain, terminal settlement and
startup controls remain.
- At `9d383041`: the one normal App case passed. Real OAuth authorized
one receiver signal. A retry occurred about 5.01 seconds after the first
failure. A new Db/App owner created one challenge, advanced revision 2
to 3, and accepted authenticated confirmation and mailbox ACK. Query
instrumentation had an active positive control. All measured query,
callback, session and verifier counters stayed equal across the
unchanged scheduled 15-second quiet window. Token revocation and
old-token/signal rejection passed.
- Known App, worker, HTTP and database owners closed without cleanup
errors. The tests used bounded local PostgreSQL and HTTP fixtures. They
did not call a live Muse model.
- Current integrated semantics: the full normal App driver completed all
programs. Only a new test callback had two undefined-value diagnostics.
An explicit defined-value guard corrected that test. The full 416-root
owning program then passed with empty diagnostics. A separate collector
incorrectly required an explicit child `noEmit` field; the normal
inherited setting was verified without repeating the compiler. The
original failures remain recorded.
- The first restoration run failed both cases. Permission parking
recorded 120 main-pool queries without more verifier calls. The
lifecycle counter recorded two denials without their exact scope. These
observations remain unexplained at the individual-query/call level.
Source separately shows a lifecycle readiness retry every two seconds
while the real external reply is absent.
- At `fe518c9b`: normal Shared/SDK and DB producers, module policy, all
seven full App programs, and all 33 pure diagnostic controls passed. The
lifecycle owner file passed all 19 cases, including both
confirmation/park orders, rollback, duplicate notices, startup recovery
and authority controls.
- At `fe518c9b`: the normal OAuth failure/retry/new-Db reconstruction
case passed. Its new healthy-wait window measured 15,002 ms with
unchanged total activity before genuine confirmation; the existing ready
quiet and revocation checks also passed.
- At `fe518c9b`: both normal restoration tests passed in Vitest.
Ordinary viewer-to-operator restoration and Pause/Resume recovered the
same binding, grant and single contact; each committed one challenge and
advanced revision 2 to 3. All six parked, restored and revoked/disabled
quiet windows measured at least 15 seconds with active positive read
controls and unchanged total queries, callbacks, sessions and verifier
calls. Both cleanups passed.
- The restoration wrapper still recorded failure: it required lifetime
lifecycle denial count zero, whereas the measured count was one before
the parked quiet window. The reviewed fixture explicitly permits a
current-authority denial from an earlier observation and requires no
committed challenge before restoration. Precise denial timing relative
to Pause was not serialized. The original wrapper failure is retained;
no rerun or retrospective explanation of the earlier failures is
claimed.
- Review exposed an expired-lease race. The added real-store baseline
test failed after the late defer restored `waitingForSignal`; no setup
or timeout was counted as the regression. On `cfd515a`, the whole
lifecycle owner file passed all 20 tests, including that case. The full
normal production declaration program (1067 roots), verification program
(662), and auth owning program (405) passed; all 1942 declarations
remained byte-identical.
- The original remote auth-session shard failed three tests because
their partial query adapters lacked the new binding query's
join/order/limit chain. A fixture-only correction preserved the real
notifier and existing authorization assertions. All 12 auth-session
tests passed locally.
- Complete remote inspection also found 33 failures in the 35-test Cloud
actor fixture with the same missing `innerJoin` method and downstream
incomplete-auth assertions. Its original full log and exact synthetic
Source comparison are retained. At `6efe722e`, the three-line fixture
adapter repair passed the complete normal 662-root test program and the
whole 35-test file with zero failures or skips. All existing lock,
authorization, settings, debounce and unfinished-auth assertions remain.
- The earlier healthy/restoration quiet measurements remain bound to
`fe518c9b`. Those steady 15-second windows did not exercise a
still-owned attempt passing its 120-second lease. The targeted
expired-owner regression qualifies that new boundary; it is not a fresh
measurement of the earlier windows.
- The initial `fe518c9b` remote gates failed the auth fixtures and
reported a Greptile 4/5 P1. The aggregate failure reported the
underlying shard. Those actual causes were fixed and qualified above.
- Current `6efe722e` remote gates completed with **57 successful checks
and three explicit skips**. The full latest edited Greptile summary is
**5/5**, explicitly reviews this exact head, and has no new finding. The
original P1 thread is resolved. All general, inline and nested review
pages were read.
- One current-head CI attempt timed out after 30 seconds in the Runner
evidence/privacy file, with 6,864 passes and one failure. That file and
its transitive inputs are byte-identical to the CI base. A separate
local diagnostic preserved every assertion and the original timeout, ran
the full normal Runner test project and the entire 41-case file, and
passed all 41 with zero skips. Its private bounded timing records
measured the target body at 74 ms. The diagnostic was then removed,
restoring the exact original test. This is local recovery evidence; the
original CI stalled await was not recorded and its cause remains
**unproven**.
- One retry of only the failed jobs on the unchanged head passed the
Runner support suite and dependent aggregate verification. The complete
second attempt and original failure logs are preserved. No test,
timeout, privacy guard or product code was weakened. This result does
not turn the original timeout into an explained failure or a diagnosed
flake.
- Full recursive typecheck, full `test:run` and a full release build
were not repeated locally. The normal full App programs, focused
producers and tests above passed, and the required current-head remote
gates passed. Final review is against the exact unchanged head; local
quiet remains separate from deployed suspension.

Reviewer commands use the normal project entry points: `node
server/scripts/typecheck-layers.mjs`, the whole
`server/src/services/muse-maintenance.test.ts` file, and both normal App
PostgreSQL files. PostgreSQL fixtures require explicit owned
fixture/admin URLs and normal migrations before imports. Run the files
serially with one worker. The private controller retains exact Source,
output, worker and owner-closure receipts.

## Risks

- Missing or early producer notices could lose a restoration trigger.
Notices stay in the transaction that commits the write. The worker
checks current authority after commit.
- A stale notice must not grant access. Binding generation, current
membership, company, agent and credential checks remain authoritative.
Revoked credentials require reconnecting.
- The change adds no table, migration, alternate task queue or periodic
verification scan. It adds two optional fields to existing lifecycle
operation JSONB. Generic pending/error deadlines, setup holds and manual
repair remain obligations.
- Confirmation can race with an active verification attempt. The park
compare-and-set must retain the durable recheck. Startup recovery uses a
fixed cutoff and keyset pages; it must not become another recurring
scan. Wrong company, stale version, pause and revoked credentials must
stay fenced.
- The connected receiver still has its documented tenant-sleep
restriction. Worker quiet is not proof of deployed suspension or
external wake.
- The normal challenge reply is sent by an authenticated protocol
fixture. Live Muse background replies, cost/usage, full Muse lifecycle
and full hosted Dot behavior remain unqualified. Partial Dot profile ACK
and unsigned-device cutover stay withheld.
- Restoration coverage for the additional company, budget, configuration
and feature producers remains a separate qualification obligation. This
pull request does not mark the whole hosted area complete.

code and tool use. A GPT-6-based Codex coordinator reviewed the changes
and owns integration. Its exact underlying model ID is not exposed.

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 f9d366acdf fix(runner): require a managed AI connection for plugin Runner-task environments (#19341)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A plugin can provide Runner execution through an environment driver
that declares `supportsTasks: true`. Agent computers use this path.
> - Core let an agent without a managed AI connection run on that path.
The run then used the account that was installed on the plugin's
execution host.
> - That is not a supported credential source. When the host Runner did
not match, the run failed three times, 30 seconds apart, and then
blocked the task with a generic error. The error did not name the fix.
> - The plugin cannot refuse these runs itself. `describe` has no
connection data, and Core replaces plugin error text before the user
sees it.
> - This pull request makes a managed AI connection a requirement for
every plugin Runner-task environment. Core refuses a run without one
before it acquires a lease or calls the plugin.
> - The benefit is one clear notice that tells the operator to choose an
AI connection, and no wasted retries or plugin work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19326. That pull request makes a Runner revision mismatch retry.
It noted that runs without a managed AI connection reach the Runner
check on a different path, which still blocks after 3 attempts. This
pull request removes that path for plugin Runner-task environments.

**Problem or motivation**
A `paperclip_runner` agent with no managed AI connection can run in a
plugin environment that provides Runner tasks. The run uses the account
installed on the execution host. If the host Runner does not match, the
native session retries 3 times and then blocks the task with
"Plugin-provided Runner execution operation unavailable". The operator
cannot tell what to fix.

**Proposed solution**
Refuse these runs in Core before any lease, plugin call, secret
resolution, or provider work. Use one stable reason,
`ai_connection_required`, for run admission, the setup probe, and agent
verification. Show a task notice that names the fix.

**Alternatives considered**
A refusal in the plugin. It cannot see the connection at `describe`,
which runs first. Its error text is also replaced twice before the user
sees it. A new structured plugin error code would still not cover
`describe`.

## What Changed

- Add `server/src/services/plugin-runner-ai-connection.ts`. It holds the
`ai_connection_required` code and message, the probe result, and the
manifest lookup for a Runner-task driver. The lookup moves here from
`agent-runner-selection.ts`, so run admission and runner selection use
the same rule.
- `heartbeat/execution-configuration.ts`: refuse a new
`paperclip_runner` run in a Runner-task environment when it has no
managed AI connection. This also applies when `homeMode:
"preconfigured"` drops the connection. The run fails as
`configuration_incomplete` with reason `ai_connection_required` and an
action URL to the agent's runtime settings. The check runs before
observability, secrets, the managed runtime, the workspace, and the
lease. A resumed native run keeps its admitted contract.
- `recovery/stranded-notice.ts`: add an "AI connection required" task
notice.
- `run-failure-report.ts`: treat this pre-dispatch refusal as an owner
action, not an unexpected failure.
- `adapters/registry.ts`: the unmanaged probe for a Runner-task target
now returns a failed `ai_connection_required` check. It calls no task
operation. Managed probes still go through `testManagedEnvironment`.
- `agent-harness-verification.ts` and
`agent-lifecycle/application/failure.ts`: classify the check as
`ai_connection_required` with a fixed message. Verification waits for
the configuration to change instead of retrying.
- Docs: `PLUGIN_RUNNER_EXECUTION.md` states the requirement.
`PLUGIN_ENVIRONMENT_TASKS.md` no longer mentions installed accounts.
`agent-config-ui.md` notes the requirement.
- Tests: the "plugin-owned account" heartbeat test described the
behavior that this change removes. It now checks the assembled heartbeat
refusal: no plugin call, no native boundary, no adapter, no workspace
files.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run` in `server/` for these files. All tests passed:
- `src/__tests__/heartbeat-execution-configuration.test.ts`. New cases:
refused without a connection, refused for a preconfigured home, managed
passes, resumed native input passes, non-task plugin driver passes. The
refused cases also check that observability, secrets, and the managed
runtime did not start.
- `src/__tests__/heartbeat-plugin-environment.test.ts`. One test,
"inherits the instance default environment across companies…", also
fails on unmodified `master` in my environment. This change does not
touch it, because its driver does not declare `supportsTasks`.
- `src/adapters/registry.test.ts`,
`src/__tests__/agent-harness-verification.test.ts`,
`src/modules/agent-lifecycle/__tests__/diagnostics.test.ts`,
`src/services/recovery/stranded-notice.test.ts`, and
`src/services/__tests__/run-failure-report.test.ts`.
- 17 more suites that use plugin Runner-task environments, with 705
tests: `plugin-runner-task.integration`,
`plugin-warm-tasks.integration`, `task-creation-recovery.integration`,
`native-startup-cleanup-recovery`,
`environment-task-authority.integration`,
`plugin-task-credential-writeback`, agent-lifecycle `lifecycle`,
`setup`, and `environment-plugins`, `workspace-preparation`,
`agent-runner-selection`, `agent-harness-verification-provider-api`,
`agent-harness-verification-remote`, `plugin-environment-driver-seam`,
`environment-task-runtime`, `agent-test-environment-routes`, and
`adapter-registry`.
- `pnpm typecheck` in `server/` reported no errors in the changed files.
Its only errors came from sandbox-provider packages that my local
install did not link.
- Not run: `plugin-runner-probe.test.ts`, because it needs a Cargo
build. This change does not modify `probePluginRunnerEnvironment`. Also
not run: the full `pnpm test:run` and `pnpm build`. CI runs them.

## Risks

- Behavior change: an agent in a plugin Runner-task environment with no
managed AI connection now stops before dispatch. Before, it ran with the
host's installed account. The agent's owner must choose an AI
connection. This includes agents with `homeMode: "preconfigured"` in
these environments.
- Runs that were already admitted and resume from saved native input are
not refused. They keep the earlier behavior until they finish.
- The check reads the plugin manifest on each new run admission for
plugin environments. This is the same lookup that runner selection
already does.
- This pull request and #19326 both edit `stranded-notice.ts` and
`failure.ts`. The changes are additive, but whichever merges second
needs a small rebase.

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 a6ab6a301c fix(server): retry a run when its remote Runner is out of date (#19326)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - An agent can run on a remote Runner that an environment plugin
provides
> - A release can update the app before the remote Runner, so for a
short time the app sees an older Runner
> - In that window the plugin can refuse the task, but Core cannot tell
this refusal from other errors
> - Today the run fails as `setup_failed` with no retry, and the task
goes to board recovery. Before #19246, it was also reported as a project
authentication conflict
> - Agent verification also counts the refusal as a failed harness test,
and it parks the agent after three tries
> - This pull request gives the plugin a stable error code for a Runner
mismatch, and Core waits and retries when it gets that code
> - The benefit is that a release no longer blocks tasks or parks
agents, and a real authentication conflict keeps its own clear notice

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19246 (it stopped reporting every precheck error as a project
authentication conflict)
Refs #19249 (the same bounded bootstrap retry for a stopped plugin
worker)
Refs #19302 (shares `environment-task-error.ts`; its diagnostic envelope
is unchanged)
Refs #19172 (related open PR: it reports an undescribable plugin Runner
as a retryable check in the same precheck)
Refs #18667 (a real `ai_connection_incompatible` conflict, which now
gets its own notice)

**What happened?**
A run started while its remote Runner was older than the app. The
environment plugin refused the task because the installed Runner did not
match the revision it expects. Core recorded a generic setup failure,
scheduled no retry, and blocked the task. Before #19246, Core reported
this as a project authentication conflict. An agent in `verifying`
counted the same refusal as a failed harness test. After three tries it
stopped verification until a person chose Retry.

**Expected behavior**
Core treats a Runner mismatch as temporary. A run retries without
blocking its task. A `verifying` agent checks again until the Runner
matches. Only a real `ai_connection_incompatible` result blocks the
task, with a notice that names the conflict.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Use an agent on a plugin environment whose installed remote Runner
revision differs from the revision the plugin expects.
2. Wake the agent on a task, or put a new agent through verification.
3. The run fails with `setup_failed` and the task is blocked.
Verification parks after three tries.

**Paperclip version or commit**
master at 377e98f1a2.

**Deployment mode**
Authenticated deployment with a plugin environment that provides a
remote Runner.

## What Changed

- Plugin SDK: add `PluginEnvironmentTaskError` and
`ENVIRONMENT_TASK_ERROR_CODES` with one code,
`runner_revision_mismatch`. The worker RPC host sends it as structured
`environmentTask` error data with the schema
`paperclip/environment-task-error-code/v1`
(`environmentTaskErrorCodeData`, read with
`readEnvironmentTaskErrorCode`). This uses the same envelope method as
the other environment RPC errors. Core reads only the code, never the
message. The source refusal diagnostic from #19302 keeps its own schema
and API unchanged, and it takes precedence on a source `submit`.
- `executeEnvironmentTask` still replaces each worker error with a
generic error. After the #19302 diagnostic check, it now keeps only that
closed code.
- Run setup: a Runner mismatch before provider dispatch gets the error
code `runner_revision_mismatch`. Setup schedules a bounded retry with
its own reason, `runner_revision_wait`, and budget (10 attempts, 60 s
apart). The reason is in the same resource-wait lane as workspace and AI
connection waits, so a wait does not spend the failure retry budget. The
guards are the same as for `plugin_worker_unavailable`. Recovery and
legacy reconciliation treat the code like the other bootstrap-only
codes. `scheduleBoundedRetryForRun` uses the Runner wait reason and
budget for a mismatch run when a caller gives no reason, and the
recovery sweeper reports exhaustion from that budget
(`failedRunRetryBudgetSpent`). An answered interaction that hits a
mismatch also waits for the Runner, and its successor keeps the resolved
interaction continuation identity.
- Move the managed project auth classification from `heartbeat.ts` to
`classifyManagedProjectAuthFailure` in `run-preparation.ts`. Only a
found `ai_connection_incompatible` conflict becomes a configuration
failure. All other errors keep their own code.
- Recovery notices: `ai_connection_incompatible` now has its own notice
instead of the "secret/env bindings" text. An exhausted Runner wait gets
the notice "Remote Runner is out of date".
- Agent verification: the Runner probe and the managed project auth
precheck report a mismatch as a retryable check.
`assertHarnessTestPassed` maps it to the new lifecycle code
`runner_revision_mismatch`. That code never counts toward the
three-failure park. The agent checks again every 60 s and becomes ready
when the Runner matches.
- Document the error code in `doc/plugins/PLUGIN_ENVIRONMENT_TASKS.md`.

## Verification

- `cd packages/plugins/sdk && npx vitest run
tests/environment-task-error-code.test.ts
tests/environment-task-error.test.ts tests/worker-rpc-host.test.ts`: the
code crosses the real `environmentTask` RPC. A plain error with the same
message gets no code. Other methods get no envelope. The #19302
diagnostic tests still pass.
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/heartbeat/run-completion.test.ts`: a fresh or wrapped
mismatch gets `runner_revision_mismatch` and the runner retry budget,
with no configuration failure. A started, untrusted (message only) or
native run keeps `setup_failed` with no retry. A real
`ai_connection_incompatible` stays `configuration_incomplete` with no
retry. Other errors, such as an unreachable execution host, are not
reported as an authentication conflict.
- `npx vitest run src/services/execution-recovery-attempt.test.ts`:
Runner waits do not change `failureRetries`, and earlier failures do not
shorten the wait.
- `npx vitest run src/services/heartbeat/retries.test.ts
src/modules/run-dispatch` (embedded Postgres): a recovery caller without
options gets the Runner wait budget and its exhaustion. An answered
interaction waits for the Runner, keeps its continuation identity and
does not spend failure retries.
- `npx vitest run src/__tests__/environment-task-runtime.test.ts`:
sanitization keeps only the code. No worker text or cause survives.
- `npx vitest run
src/modules/agent-lifecycle/__tests__/verification-retry.test.ts`
(embedded Postgres): a `verifying` agent keeps checking after five
mismatches. It never gets `retryRequired`. It becomes ready when the
next check passes.
- `npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/plugin-runner-probe-runner-mismatch.test.ts
src/__tests__/agent-harness-verification-remote.test.ts
src/services/recovery/stranded-notice.test.ts
src/services/recovery/service.pause-durability.test.ts
src/services/legacy-execution-recovery.test.ts`.
- `npx tsc --noEmit` passes for `packages/plugins/sdk` and `server`.
- One test in `src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts`
("redacts opaque environment-bound credentials from Sentry diagnostics")
fails on my machine. It fails the same way on the base commit without
this change.
- I did not run the full `pnpm test:run`, `pnpm -r typecheck` or `pnpm
build`. CI covers them.

## Risks

- Low to medium. The change adds one new setup failure code and one
lifecycle code. Other failures keep their current behavior.
- A Runner mismatch must come from a plugin that throws
`PluginEnvironmentTaskError`. Until an environment plugin does that,
behavior is the same as today.
- The run retry budget is 10 minutes. If a Runner update takes longer,
the task goes to board recovery with the Runner notice.
- A remote Runner run without a managed AI connection reaches the Runner
check only after native dispatch. That configuration is not supported,
so this change does not handle it. Such a run keeps the native session
retry (3 attempts, 30 s apart).
- #19172 edits the same precheck call in `agent-environment-test.ts`.
Whichever PR merges second needs a small rebase. Keep the mismatch check
before its generic retryable check.

DottaandPaperclip 1f55073f96 fix(cursor-cloud): support API-only controllers on managed stacks (#18310)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents at work.
> - Cursor Cloud hosts execution behind its API.
> - Product setup still expected a Paperclip Computer.
> - Managed-only tenants therefore rejected valid setup.
> - This admits the validated API-owned controller.
> - Authority, Stop proof, budgets and cleanup remain enforced.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18068 and #18069; both dependencies have merged.

**What happened?**

Managed-only setup still requested a Computer. Live tests exposed
missing Cursor Stop proof and duplicate replay.

**Expected behavior**

Use Cursor’s API controller. Verify provider/controller termination and
replay each log identity once.

**Steps to reproduce**

Enable native Runner/managed-only. Configure Cursor model/repository/key
without a Computer, then Test, finish setup, run and Stop.

## What Changed

- Derive API-only placement from validated native Cursor configuration;
reject placement/command/workspace/home overrides and keep
Kubernetes-only execution closed.
- Skip Computers/checkout/workspace realization. Keep scoped tools,
completion, private staging, budgets, leases and recovery. Persist
placement; reject contradictions.
- Align Cloud cards, Test, Save and Finish setup; hold unready drafts.
Legacy keeps its Computer, credential and policy checks.
- Verify Stop from exact API ownership, audited intent,
provider-terminal proof, no Computer/process ownership and controller
retirement. Recheck immediate/deferred retirement; wake existing
recovery on durable evidence.
- Clear warnings when the actual stopped target later has authoritative
confirmation. Keep missing/other-run negatives and the existing
predicate.
- Publish safe status refresh after full-proof ACK. Retain bounded
native/physical cancellation history; add no poller or weaker proof
path.

## Verification

Core merged as `3910352c923a`; Product merged as `27d35314be8e`. Public
branch `5f86eb66b081` has tree `67344151d303`. Its exact-head Greptile
summary is 5/5; the fresh audit found zero unresolved threads and
complete pagination. The controlled workspace retry and required summary
passed. All 59 current-head contexts are terminal and clean. Prior
green-36 evidence keeps its identity.

[Current
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41680511731)
first failed workspaces-a 1/2: the CLI company-import/export beforeAll
30-second runtime-info/child-PID/HTTP readiness wait expired. All 431 UI
files/4,714 tests and 285 other CLI tests passed (one skip). The cause
remains UNKNOWN. Child output records startup recovery complete, but
buffered CI prefixes do not establish its relation to the waiter
deadline; runtime-file/PID/last-health state was not captured. Both
unchanged local probes were RED. The second observed dependency
preflight still pending at the deadline; observer overhead was not
quantified. Neither proves the CI cause. After all functional jobs
finished, only the queued metadata summary was cancelled; the other 48
records stayed unchanged. Attempt 1 retains 46 successes, the original
failure, one skip and the cancelled summary. One same-head debug retry
was admitted at 18:42 UTC on November 3. Its workspace job passed at
19:23 UTC on the same checkout: UI 431 files/4,714 tests and CLI 33
files/286 tests, including company import/export. Test caching was
disabled. The new `ci / verify` summary passed; workflow attempt 2
completed SUCCESS. Required `ci / e2e` also passed. The final check at
19:53 UTC on November 3 found all 59 current-head contexts terminal and
clean: zero pending and zero failing. The 47 inherited completed/skipped
rows are not new executions. No code, assertion or timeout changed;
success does not explain the original failure or erase the local REDs.

CI checkout is `1ea9d8608ced`/tree `78cb1ec13d59` (parents
`2e37c73c05fe`, 5f86); both workflows use 2e37. Its 20 extra paths add
low-memory build/Rust task-memory. Scripts cohere; later matrix changes
only labels, with no newer debug-cache steps. Static audit found no
blocker. Supported API arguments omit the memory flag: no default
monitor/instruction changes. Flagged external launchers can change
Cursor instructions/digests and remain unqualified.

The merge added 41 master-identical paths, retained the green-36 inbox
hunk and found UI fixtures matching upstream. Startup/backup, recovery
projection, sleep diagnostics and binary backup change production.
Static audit found eight Stop/ACK owner blobs and 37 sleep-work SQL
templates unchanged, with sleep fences/single-flight accounting intact.
Exact precommit tree: 416/416 across eight server files, binary backup
1/1, server types PASS; repeated scopes are not summed.

The deferred-retirement P1 reproduced three real-DB/owned-process
failures; missing proof stayed unverified. Recovery passed 47 process
cases/33 proof negatives. Warning repair binds actual targets to
same-run proof. Validation passed 729 scoped UI cases, a separate
359-case thread run, 111 backend cases (84 CAS, 6 assembled, 21
activity/privacy), types/tokens. Proof validators/predicate are
unchanged; no new poller or increased timeout.

The d8d3 attempt stays FAILED: 45 passes, two workspaces-a failures,
derived verify failure and one skip. Both shards shared three failures:
two successful mocks omitted the account guard’s required userId. The
two-line fixture repair changed no guard, assertion or timeout. Three
failures reproduced; 54 access/auth tests then passed, including
account-change/denial negatives, plus UI types/tokens.

The 69285 attempt stays FAILED: 49 jobs, 46 passed, serialized shard 9
failed, its verify aggregate failed and one selection job skipped. The
shard passed 575/576 cases. Its aborted-snapshot case expected nine
computes but saw eight: a final HTTP 200 coalesced while seven ordinary
reads had not proved the aborted compute settled. Earlier CI and the
unmodified local baseline passed with a miss; no local RED is claimed.
The repair awaits the snapshot, allows exactly one extra GET if
coalesced, then requires a miss and retains nine computes/all HTTP429
assertions. No production code, hook, loop, sleep or timeout changed.
Six inbox and seven cache/admission cases passed locally, plus server
types; 30 unrelated cases were filtered. Green 36 passed 576/576 without
taking the extra-GET branch; local runs also missed that schedule.
Current CI event merge 1ea9 now passed 576/576 and naturally exercised
the former failure: coalesced (count 2, 1ms), then exactly one fresh
miss (count 1, 16ms), with strict nine-compute/HTTP429 assertions
intact. No instrumentation or retry was added.

Earlier compatibility passed scoped remote/inbox, routine, API-placement
and UI tests, plus types/migrations/snapshots/maps/tokens. The 89-path
adoption restored fleet routing without workflow overrides or added
skips. Each result retains its source identity.

Live qualification remains actual `9af1a5de42a2`: unchanged Artifact
grader PASSED 17/17 and active-Stop grader PASSED 21/21. All three
provider test resources were deleted canonically with GET404;
post-delete download returned the exact 27 bytes. Histories stayed
stable (Artifact 121 and Stop 67 canonical identities), with 21 company
runs, zero active work and no accounting/cancellation/reservation debt
or integrity findings. Saved settings reopened; no-prompt Test/Linux
admission passed with `claude-sonnet-4-5`. No new Save is claimed.

The first Stop sampling case stays FAILED on a 10.373-second gap.
Unchanged retry kept all 24 samples: 35.076 seconds quiet, maximum gap
4.584 seconds, plus a separate CANCELLED/artifact-absent read after 180
seconds. Initial grading rejected locator spelling before functional
checks; metadata changed only after same-file/inode/byte proof, with raw
evidence/oracles unchanged. Original Question/Plan/reconnect and
historical deleted-artifact results keep their identities.

Git trees verified 11 history-only conflicts and six earlier mainline
paths. Hosted 9af to the public BRANCH differs in 222 paths; 13,500
other mode/blob leaves match. Runner runtime implementations and six
observer/driver pins match 9af on that branch only; inherited
`drivers/acpx/runtime-host.test.ts` differs. No all-Runner/src,
CI/latest-master runtime or image equality is claimed. Later static
audits through `8ab89f41e499` found no concrete API-only blocker. That
base adds completed-history sleep proofs and an MCP cleanup migration;
protected Stop/ACK owners are unchanged. These later changes are outside
this CI and have no live qualification here. Host duplicate-card and
later recovery/UI repairs retain separate proof, not deployed 9af
identity. Direct-key coverage requires absent aiConnection; API-only
placement skips inherited remote-workspace disk-full paths, and
config-read gates match their parent.

Other retained failures: stale fixture 132/133; E8 48/135 with 87
reset-hook failures; Mac 17 SQL failures/skips;
title/startup/custody/Stop/deletion unknown causes and bounded
recoveries; superseded warning/50 duplicate identities; pre-repair
ACK/Core CI failures. Fixture RED/GREEN passed 7/7 browser and 121/121
shutdown tests with a failing broken-unsubscribe control; stable WSP
wrapper passed 128 after physical teardown failure. No full local-suite
pass is inferred. All paid attempts remain recorded; vendor dollar cost
is UNKNOWN.

## Risks

Experimental: Cursor independently acknowledges neither the effective
model nor instruction digest before the first prompt. Explicit values
are submitted and behavior checked live; unpriced provider dollar cost
stays UNKNOWN.

The placement exception applies only to validated native Cursor API
execution. Other local work remains denied under managed-only policy.
Missing/stale Stop or cleanup proof stays pending; damaged archives
remain failed. Explicit Legacy keeps its existing policy owners.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex/GPT-6 family: tools, execution, browser checks, delegated
review. API ID/context window unavailable.

DottaandPaperclip 27d35314be feat: connect experimental Cursor Cloud to native Runner (#18069)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents at work.
> - Native Runner owns execution and task authority.
> - Operators need an explicit native Cursor Cloud choice.
> - Tools/files need company, task, session and run scope.
> - This connects setup and lifecycle to Runner Core.
> - Legacy agents retain their selected runtime/history.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Depends on #18068. Managed-only API placement and API-owned Stop
containment are in #18310. Refs #5664, #11803, #17299, and #17471. No
duplicate native integration was found.

## What Changed

- Add explicit native setup, Test, saved settings and dispatch with
no-prompt account/catalog/callback checks.
- Scope MCP to company, agent, task, session and run through
authenticated HTTPS. Register verified artifacts/work products; preserve
unpriced accounting, completion and budgets.
- Connect Question/Plan continuation, cold handoff and admitted fresh
sessions; recheck waiting admission under the task lock.
- Present audited Stop intent while preserving physical containment
proof; bound typed Stop metadata. Preserve title edits through
preference/navigation readiness.
- Select one live/history representation per run to prevent duplicate
settled cards. Integrate upstream task/read-state/retry/schema contracts
and repair two test fixtures.

## Verification

Core #18068 merged normally as `3910352c923a`. Product head
`5a60f541c982` has passing repository CI/build/browser checks, including
required `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e`, plus a fresh exact-head Greptile
5/5 review with zero unresolved threads. Two non-required external app
checks remain pending: Paperclip Review is queued waiting for its
assigned agent; Superagent Security Scan is reviewing the diff. These
are not claimed completed. The normal merge endpoint enforces the
repository rules; no policy or status override is used. The dependent
Top PR is addressing its fresh deferred-Stop review finding.

Product `5a60f541c982` passed 270 UI and 20 selected
Cloud/native/disk-full tests, UI/server typechecks, tokens and maps.
Top’s clean normal merge passed tokens/maps/diff checks; its matrix is
pending. Earlier receipts retain Core’s 47 Rust, 4 compiled-native
retirement and 19 settlement controls, normal Runner build, and runtime
9af build/recursive typecheck. Reproduced loading/shutdown CI fixture
failures passed 7/7 browser and 121/121 unit tests, including a
broken-unsubscribe negative control. No timeout/oracle was relaxed.

The actual-parent restack adopts 75 mainline paths, including
schema/permission and generic runtime changes, beyond the prior two
fixture repairs and client projection fix. The full difference from
hosted `9af1a5de42a2` is therefore larger than four files; backend
source also differs. The merged config-read checks match Core391, and
the Cursor placement/runtime/relay/selection modules match frozen9af;
selected affected regressions pass. Paid proof keeps its actual 9af
source/image identity. The separately tested live/history card fix is
not claimed deployed on that host.

On 9af, original saved settings survived reopening and fresh no-prompt
Test authenticated catalog/model/binding; no new Save is claimed. Fresh
Linux admission passed. With `claude-sonnet-4-5`, Artifact downloaded
exact 27 bytes and matched 121 canonical identities in complete
S3-served history. First Stop’s strict quiet FAILED on a 10.373-second
gap despite independent cancellation/no late artifact. One targeted
unchanged-sampler retry retained all 24 samples: 35.076 seconds quiet /
maximum gap 4.584 seconds, 67 ordered canonical identities, and separate
CANCELLED/artifact-absent status after the original 180-second deadline.
The pre-reload duplicate settled card is disclosed. Exact-ID cleanup for
the three new provider agents is awaiting authorization, so full grades
and the fresh Artifact’s post-cleanup download remain blocked. A
historical deleted-provider artifact was newly downloaded on 9af;
original F226 Question/Plan/reconnect and cleanup proof keep their
identities.

Retained failures: stale fixture 132/133; E8 48/135 with 87 reset-hook
failures; Mac 17 SQL failures/skips; earlier
title/startup/custody/Stop/deletion failures with unknown causes/bounded
recoveries; `dea023` Stop’s warning/50 duplicate identities; pre-repair
ACK and original Core CI failures. WSP’s 251-assertion, 7/8-suite
attempt failed physical PostgreSQL teardown; the unchanged wrapper rerun
passed 128. Retry alone establishes no cause or full local-suite pass.
All paid attempts remain recorded; vendor dollar cost is UNKNOWN.

## Risks

Experimental: Cursor independently acknowledges neither the effective
model nor instruction digest before the first prompt. Explicit values
are submitted and checked through behavior; unpriced provider dollar
cost stays UNKNOWN.

Callbacks need authenticated reachable HTTPS. Scope, revocation,
budgets, completion and cleanup remain authoritative. Operator Stop
intent is separate from physical containment. Saved legacy agents retain
their selected runtime. Prior shared title-save/deletion failures remain
disclosed.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, assisted with reasoning, repository tools,
code execution, browser verification, and delegated code review. The
serving model’s exact API ID and context window are not exposed. No
value is inferred from the model catalog.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 81ecaf0654 fix(server): bound failed lifecycle verification (#18383)
Failed lifecycle verification could allocate another test environment every minute indefinitely. Count failed host verification tests separately from claims, persist a repair wait for confirmed configuration failures or three generic failed tests, and clear it through authorized retry or execution configuration changes.

Preserve typed temporary execution-target failures through adapter checks so timeouts, transport failures and interrupted probes keep automatic recovery. Retain existing readiness, authorization, termination and cleanup gates. Document the policy and add real PostgreSQL persistence and actual OpenCode adapter regressions.

Verified 398 focused tests (one Windows-only test skipped on macOS), repository-wide typecheck and build, structural checks, fully green current-head CI and Greptile 5/5 with no unresolved comments.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 5a7e740d82 fix: validate managed AI accounts before verification allocation (#17384)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A saved agent must pass execution configuration checks before it can
run.
> - Managed AI account selection belongs to the existing company-scoped
account service.
> - Verification allocated its execution environment before it checked
that account.
> - A missing default or revoked account could create a sandbox on each
retry.
> - This pull request checks account selection before allocation and
keeps the final check.
> - Invalid account settings now fail before they cause avoidable
provider work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Saved-agent lifecycle verification allocates a test execution target
before `withManagedAiProbe` selects the managed AI account. An
unavailable account can cause sandbox creation and cleanup on every
retry.

**Expected behavior**

Check account compatibility, responsible-user access, default selection,
grant health and agent eligibility before target allocation. Check
current account access again before the real probe.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Configure a saved OpenCode agent with an OpenRouter personal-default
binding.
2. Leave that user's OpenRouter default empty, or revoke the selected
grant.
3. Let lifecycle verification use a sandbox execution environment.
4. Before this change, verification can allocate the target and then
reject the account. After this change, account selection rejects the
configuration before allocation.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Source baseline `b5bf86ea09042a864b60910f80c8fdf7e64e9ef0`.

**Deployment mode**

Server with Postgres and a remote execution environment. Tests use
disposable local Postgres and a controlled target allocation boundary.

Searched public PRs and issues for verification, connection preflight,
probes and lifecycle work. No duplicate fix found. Related public issue
#16128 concerns credential probing and reauthorization. This change does
not alter reauthorization or credential refresh.

## What Changed

- Call the existing managed account selector with the resolved adapter
and model before allocating a verification execution target.
- Keep router resolution, secret handling, final account selection and
target release with their existing owners.
- Add six Postgres tests and document the saved-agent ordering contract.

## Verification

- Focused verification suites: 30 tests passed across two files.
- `pnpm build`: passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed.
- Full PR CI passed on `ddc0879d46b60310c533e6d3c4b8acdd178d979c`: 54
successful checks and two expected skips. [Workflow
evidence](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40033261909).
This includes typecheck, tests, build and browser checks.
- Apex review: 5/5 on that exact head, clean check, no comments or
unresolved threads. Merge state is clean.
- Additional local `pnpm test:run` is still running. The complete local
suite is not yet a pass claim.
- The first focused run passed the missing-default case but failed five
setup hooks because fixtures reused a unique company prefix. Each
fixture now has a distinct prefix. The complete focused rerun passed.
- Tests use real account selection, memberships, grants, personal
defaults, encrypted fixture credentials and managed runtime preparation.
Only execution-target allocation and the provider probe are controlled
boundaries. No live provider request is required.
- Tests prove that missing defaults, revoked grants and incompatible
models do not allocate a target. A valid account still reaches the
managed probe. Revocation during allocation still fails the final
account check and releases the target. Probe failure also releases it.
- `git diff --check`: passed. Reviewed the diff for secrets and private
account data before push.
- No hosted login or production deployment is claimed for this
follow-up.

## Risks

- Adds one read-only account selection to each managed saved-agent
verification attempt. The selector can read company accounts and grants.
It makes no provider request and creates no execution target.
- Final selection stays fresh. A successful preflight does not reserve
an account or cache authorization.
- Missing configuration still follows the existing durable lifecycle
retry schedule. This change prevents needless allocation; it does not
remove those database retries.
- No schema, scheduler, provider-account choice, capacity or public API
changes.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The exact deployment model ID and context
window are not exposed in this session. Used reasoning, repository tools
and code execution.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip e5351b240a Verify native Runner setup through plugin tasks (#17029)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages work for AI agents.
> - An environment plugin can own a Runner task.
> - The merged launch-preparation contract lets the execution owner
build the provider configuration.
> - Core still needs a task process owner and a setup test that uses
that configuration.
> - This PR connects the task API to the Runner process-owner contract.
> - Operators can test a plugin environment before Core sends it task
work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Runner, plugin SDK, and agent environment tests.

**Problem or motivation**

A task-only environment cannot use the shell-based setup path. Core must
verify the Runner hello exchange and process cleanup through dedicated
task operations.

**Proposed solution**

Add a lease-bound task driver and use it for a bounded setup probe. Keep
heartbeat admission and task execution in #16978. This PR follows the
merged launch-preparation contract in #16997.

**Alternatives considered**

A provider declaration alone cannot prove that Runner and the provider
connect. A shell bridge would give the plugin an unnecessary command
interface.

## What Changed

- Pass structured Runner launch data to process owners. Support an
external connection and explicit detach.
- Add typed launch authentication checks and checkpoint operations.
Check lease, run, project, and retained-task authority.
- Connect launch preparation, PRP, termination proof, and credential
handoff to the task driver. Reject local environment overrides during
installed-account setup. Pass saved-account identity and credential home
directly from Core.
- Run a short-lived setup probe through the existing agent environment
test API. Require a verified provider hello and cleanup. Keep saved
Copilot account checks metadata-only through a dedicated task operation.
- Update the Copilot source identity because the shared transport source
changed. Keep provider behavior and the earlier identity fixture.

## Verification

- CI passes on `f987adec7`: 55 successful checks and 5 expected skips.
Standard Greptile and Apex are both 5/5 with no open findings. The
branch merges cleanly with current master.
- Repository typecheck and build pass after the rebase onto the
workspace-provider contract. Server typecheck and build also pass after
the final setup fix.
- The 110 focused lease, SDK, setup, Copilot, and route cases pass after
the rebase. All 14 setup cases pass after the final change. These
include a real local Runner with a test provider. The saved-agent
model-discovery case also passes.
- Apex found that Core's relative workspace marker failed the driver
path check, and non-Codex sessions omitted the observed model. Both
failures were reproduced and fixed. The probe leaves physical workspace
selection to plugin preparation. The transport reads each provider's
observed model and exposes it to the driver. All 14 setup cases, 6
transport peer cases, and both existing real Runner/OpenCode cases pass.
Runner build and server typecheck pass.
- The coverage audit removed two redundant cases, repeated fixture code,
and two extra real Runner launches. It kept authorization, credential
selection, cancellation, lost replies, termination proof, checkpoint
identity, and provider setup checks.
- The Copilot source-identity check passes. The added-line secret and
PII scan passes. The unmerged v52 attestation was regenerated after the
shared transport fix.
- CI on `13faeff02` caught one stale Copilot digest assertion after
attestation regeneration. The literal now matches the candidate
attestation, and all 49 installation cases pass. That CI lane otherwise
passed 1,818 cases.
- An earlier CI run hit an unchanged UI toast timing test. The separate
fix is tracked in #16952. Current CI passes that shard. CI also caught a
stale model-discovery assertion in this change; the assertion is fixed.
- The local full-suite run was stopped when master changed. The final CI
run supplies exact-head full-suite validation. No live Cloud or provider
test was run.

## Risks

- Native hello tests require a saved Core account or the installed
account. Local environment overrides are unsupported for
installed-account probes and fail before the provider runs.
- A native task provider must declare launch preparation and
authentication-check version 1. It must keep the checked configuration
fixed through submission. Core rejects providers that cannot make this
guarantee.
- A lost task reply does not prove process termination. Core retains
grants until the provider proves termination and Core saves required
state.
- This PR does not enable native heartbeat dispatch through plugin
environments. Cloud deployment and live provider validation remain
separate.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6. The exact model ID and context window are not
exposed in this session. Tool use includes code editing, local tests,
and the GitHub CLI.

DottaandPaperclip 92b238137b Connect and configure GitHub Copilot through Apps (#15705)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Apps and AI Connections store credentials and govern access to agent
runtimes.
> - Users need a supported saved-token connection and config values that
survive save and reopen.
> - The release must preserve saved-token access and task lifecycle
guarantees.
> - This pull request will connect Copilot through the normal Apps and
AI Connections path.
> - The benefit is a reviewable part of the Copilot production release.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #15701 and #15703. Supersedes setup work in #15562. Base: #15703.
Next: #15706.

## What Changed

- Require configuration update authority before Copilot
credential-bearing model discovery; default to the saved environment and
preserve explicit selection for editors.

- Keep Copilot discovery passive during reconnect reconciliation;
refresh on explicit opening, account/environment changes and reconnect.

- Add GitHub AI token connections with encrypted storage, ownership,
grants and audit logging.
- Keep repository access separate from Copilot runtime authentication.
- Probe the selected environment without sending a model prompt and
preserve authenticated model selection through save/reopen.
- Keep fresh execution admission consistent with normal Copilot setup;
persist task model choices without changing provider or permission
policy.
- Refresh authenticated models after reconnecting the same saved Copilot
account, including recovery from a previous authentication error.
- Apply the additive provider-default constraint migration through the
normal generated migration workflow.

## Verification

Runtime #15701 is merged at `d855e550ad8d2a267312983f26457aabf5393c3a`.

contains the four-file authorization repair. The remaining PR trees
preserve six nonoverlapping files from the newer public mainline
managed-settings fix and the CI-owned lockfile. No unrelated provider is
enabled.

The security finding is repaired: existing-agent discovery requires
`agent_config:update` before connection selection or token resolution.
The saved environment is the default. Authorized editors can select a
prospective environment. Both denied board-viewer and agent-reader
regressions fail on the original source. All49 route tests and server
typecheck pass with the fix. Denied requests perform no connection
selection, credential resolution or probe. Current-head security scans
pass on both remaining PRs; the repaired thread is resolved.

`c2616370800f5f6df45246b0890ba35a7cd2faab`. The exact qualification
model is `gpt-5.6-luna`. Every passing Product case confirms cleanup.
Original failures remain recorded; automatic behavior retries are
disabled. The route-only authorization repair changes no bound
runtime/profile bytes and does not relabel the frozen campaign.

The ordinary installed remote journey passed saved-token selection,
model discovery, normal UI save/reopen, metadata-only Test, completed
task, accepted receipt and exact19-byte browser download. An open model
catalog caused no additional discovery requests during117seconds. Actual
installed runtime smokes passed on macOS ARM64, macOS x64 under Rosetta
and native Linux x64 on Daytona. Raw token browser entry was not
exercised; encrypted connection creation used the normal API.

The first Daytona file attempt timed out during delayed semantic
dispatch; its precise stalled layer remains unresolved. Independent
ordinary remote delivery and the other19 Product cells passed before one
instrumented recheck passed8/8 with unchanged source,prompt,assertions
and deadlines. No causal latency repair is claimed.

Before the authorization repair, all four final PR heads passed required
verify/E2E and fresh Greptile5/5 reviews with zero unresolved threads.
Current-head CI/review is running for the two repaired heads. Local
focused checks retain129 connection,59 runner,72 shared-eval and88
recovery/workspace passes, plus migration safety and token gates. The
additive Copilot migration is361; released master history is preserved.

[Cloud normal-package
run39414239704](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39414239704)
builds the pre-security source4f3f. All four native producers and Linux
package assembly pass; the final clean installed consumers are
finishing. All18 retained archives match their hashes;37,863 regular
files contain zero selected credentials. That package does not contain
the later route repair. The actual final published package must include
it and pass the local/Daytona live canaries. The frozen Daytona image
remains published and independently verified. No separate full-image
scan is claimed. Docker builds run in the cloud.

**Remaining:** current-head CI/review, setup and qualification merges,
final publication, and ordinary local/Daytona canaries against the
actual shipped package. The user explicitly authorizes the maintainer
review override; CI remains a merge gate. No production deployment is
claimed. Provider USD remains unknown and GitHub-attributed.

## Risks

Bad credentials, missing entitlement, runtime installation and
unavailable models must remain distinct failures. A connection must not
adopt ambient credentials. The constraint migration changes accepted
provider values, with no credential-storage migration.

Current-master NewAgent fixture extraction is retained. Copilot cases
use that shared support and test both passive discovery and explicit
reconnect under the same setup lifecycle.

The onboarding retry regression shares the component suite’s
saved-connection, authenticated-model, draft, agent-list, hire and
render lifecycle fixtures. Keeping it beside the existing onboarding
failures makes adoption versus duplicate hire observable under the same
lifecycle; this is the concrete cohesion reason for the existing large
test file.

DottaandPaperclip e6dcc6b095 Connect personal Muse through secure native execution and Vault OAuth (#16448)
Add company-scoped Muse native control, OAuth, wake receiver and recovery.

Recheck current authority after waits and before effects or receipt replay. Preserve task-read scope, assignment expiry, independent holds, nonblocking reassignment and truthful cleanup provenance.

Retain source trust on progress comments and verify current Muse V8 authority through real signed-JWT HTTP requests. Preserve the upstream trimmed ordinary authentication lookup.

Refs #16448.

Preserve captured canonical queue recovery and concurrent environment preparation while retaining the scoped Muse V8 exclusion. Normal migration 0354 and existing Muse SQL remain unchanged. Fresh current-head Greptile review is 5/5 with the project-write finding addressed. Required CI and independent technical review gate the merge; maintainer override is reserved for formal approval rules.

Recheck current Muse project-write authority after all receipt/task/run/admission waits, before creation or replay. Real PostgreSQL regressions reproduce four late effects/replays on the old route; the repaired three-file treatment passes 354 cases with no skips, and the scoped server typecheck passes. Ordinary/Dot behavior is preserved.

DottaandPaperclip 250429942e fix(agents): report actionable lifecycle failure steps (#16418)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents for work.
> - New agents must pass setup and execution checks before they can run.
> - The lifecycle worker saved the same retry message for every failure.
> - Users could not identify the failed step or correct its
configuration.
> - The UI also described failed work as work still in progress.
> - This pull request names the failed step and gives a safe corrective
action.
> - Users can identify configuration problems and understand automatic
retries.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A new hire showed a paused status and “The lifecycle step failed. Retry
the operation.” Repeated retries did not explain the failure. A
successful retry cleared the original error. This change cannot recover
an error that an older server already cleared.

**Expected behavior**

Name the failed setup step. Give a useful action for known execution
test failures. Explain automatic retry. Keep provider output and
credentials out of lifecycle errors.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a disposable agent with an unavailable model or invalid
execution command.
2. Open its profile while verification fails.
3. Inspect the error, correct the configuration, and select Retry now.
4. Confirm that the failure disappears after the agent becomes ready.

Related change: https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/16155
shows pending setup progress in creation and assignment. This change
improves the cause and action shown when setup fails.

## What Changed

- Save the failed lifecycle phase and step in the existing lifecycle
error field.
- Classify authentication, model, command, directory, timeout, and
response failures from execution test check codes.
- Use fixed error messages. Do not retain raw provider messages, check
details, or credentials.
- Share the allowed failure codes with the lifecycle log.
- Show failed-state labels and automatic retry guidance. Rename Retry to
Retry now.
- Extend worker, database, and UI regression coverage. Update the agent
verification maps.

## Verification

- Passed 105 focused tests across lifecycle diagnostics, database
lifecycle commands, saved harness verification, and
AgentLifecycleStatus.
- Passed server TypeScript compilation with `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/server exec tsc --noEmit`.
- Passed UI typecheck and production build.
- Passed module boundary checks, token gates, character sync, map
validation, and `git diff --check`.
- Used Playwright to inspect the production component with a simulated
model failure. Confirmed the failure text, retry guidance, retry
callback, and recovered state. Captured a screenshot. This component
check does not prove a live provider run.
- Attempted `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build`. Both require Rust
cargo, which is not installed in the local execution environment.
- Started `pnpm test:run` locally. No final local suite result was
recorded before handoff. The complete PR CI workflow passed.
- Passed all latest-commit CI gates, including typecheck, build, general
and serialized tests, Rust checks, and all eight browser test shards:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38726198774
- Greptile scored the latest commit 5/5 with no findings. There are no
review threads to resolve.

## Risks

- Failure classification depends on existing adapter check codes.
Unknown codes use a safe fallback message.
- A known code can describe only the checks reported by the adapter.
- No database migration is required. The error field remains a string.
- Retry schedules, leases, readiness, approvals, and budget controls
keep their current behavior.
- Full build verification requires a runner with Rust cargo.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex. Used reasoning, code editing, browser
checks, and tool execution. The runtime does not expose the exact
deployment ID or context window.

DottaandPaperclip b8ffeb973a feat(runner): add experimental Grok Bot agent participation (#16219)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents that perform work for a company.
> - The shared Runner owns task admission, authority, receipts and
finalization.
> - An existing Grok Bot needs to receive assignments and return results
through that Runner.
> - The Bot also needs governed access when it starts work from its own
conversation.
> - This PR adds agent-purpose MCP access and routine webhook dispatch.
> - It reuses the external-agent Rust Runner and keeps Grok capabilities
explicit.
> - The provider stays experimental until the real-client managed
journeys pass.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Agent or provider**
Grok Bot, distinct from the Grok Build coding runtime in #13882.

**Why this adapter is useful**
Users can assign work to an existing Bot, receive progress, questions,
documents and files in Paperclip, and let the Bot initiate work under
its agent permissions.

**How the agent is invoked**
A webhook-only routine delivers bounded references. Dedicated
named-agent OAuth and MCP provide inbound calls. Setup follows [Grok
routines](https://cursor.com/help/grok-bot/routines) and [custom
plugins](https://cursor.com/help/grok-bot/connect-plugins). The current
desktop app needs its Bot-generated Webhook URL navigation link when
routine-row clicks fail.

The GitHub search found related Grok Build runtime work, but no existing
Grok Bot agent provider. This extends the roadmap’s existing agent,
Runner, governance and artifact foundations.

## What Changed

- Add default-off Grok Bot participation through the shared real Rust
external backend, preserving native provider identity guarantees and
distinguishing session closure from remote termination.
- Bind agent OAuth to company, agent, client, gateway and authorizer;
recheck permissions and task-bound execution authority without
manufacturing a native identity.
- Persist routine configuration, dispatch intents, authenticated
acknowledgement and recovery holds. Store URL/key together in encrypted
secret storage, use guarded public egress, and never automatically
replay ambiguous HTTP delivery.
- Reuse native tools, durable waiting, completion assessment and review.
Add task-bound file grants through existing artifact storage; suppress
proactive echo dispatch and synchronous result wake loops.
- Enforce the current native deliverable work-mode policy at file-ticket
issuance and use. Add operator retries for confirmed rejected wakes,
with retained receipts, stable retry intent and current-authority
checks. Recovery locks bindings before routine rows. Thread Stop
resolves the selected run and its agent.
- Cancel queued and preparing Stop targets before assignment creation,
restore saved setup after a failed request and successful retry, and
publish the Grok provider descriptor schema. Advance the versioned
Copilot source declaration for the shared schema change; its
qualification remains pending.
- Filter task summaries with the shared privacy policy, preserve
feedback admission when wake delivery is blocked, reconcile settled
delivery receipts without restoring work authority, and bind every Stop
control to its displayed run. Recovery records distinguish dispatch
uncertainty from a revoked session.
- Add resumable guided setup, credential replacement, consent,
management, observed work status and stop/recovery controls, plus an
interactive Storybook journey using the production task thread, question
form and report card. Grok’s own apps remain available; Paperclip
workspace and third-party tools are deferred.

## Verification

- Five focused protocol, authorization, person MCP and Runner files: 192
tests pass. The Grok assigned-work case executes the actual Rust Runner,
saves a document, uploads/deduplicates a file and reaches ordinary
finalization.
- Proactive intake/deduplication and renewed-session recovery pass.
These use scripted clients and synthetic storage; they are not
real-provider acceptance.
- Repository typecheck, production build, token gates, map checks and
Storybook build/catalog checks pass. The local full-suite campaign was
stopped after macOS shared-memory exhaustion repeatedly prevented
embedded PostgreSQL startup. No local aggregate pass is claimed. The
first clean-worker CI run identified avatar fixture/configuration, flag
defaults, feature-card ordering and OpenAPI route-coverage gaps; all
four focused regressions pass after correction. Those regressions pass.
The latest clean-worker CI run also found a Copilot source-hash
declaration mismatch after the shared descriptor update; the corrected
declaration passes all 28 integrity tests. The next review corrections
pass 144 rendered UI tests, 21 OpenAPI tests and 82 Runner
contract/integrity/history tests. The latest database fixtures were
blocked at startup by host shared-memory exhaustion; clean-worker CI
must execute their new regressions. Full current-head CI now passes: 54
successful checks and four intentional skips. The database regression
uses the PostgreSQL driver result shape; file-policy, rejected-feedback
and lock-order cases pass on clean workers. Current-head Greptile is 5/5
with no unresolved findings.
- Rendered setup steps and outbound-only verification were walked
through in Storybook. Simulation cannot enable Done without an
authenticated-reply state.
- Actual client OAuth, continued access, reconnect and one routine wake
with an exact chat acknowledgement were observed separately. This
candidate’s live authenticated challenge, assigned/proactive workflows,
Linux managed artifact, restart and cleanup are not yet qualified. The
provider stays disabled by default.
- The separate Cloud ingress change forwards only exact task-bound
upload/download paths and preserves host identity and header stripping.
- Current Cloud policy reserves Test for pre-merge app/harness
experiments; Staging accepts only master-derived revisions. Real-client
qualification needs a supported, authorized deployment target and
remains outstanding.

## Risks

One append-only migration adds routine/dispatch state and extends shared
bindings and file tickets. The unshipped migrations were regenerated
after upstream consumed their original numbers. Rolling back code
retains the durable rows; revoke grants and inspect unknown remote
activity before resuming dispatch. Grok cannot confirm remote
termination, stream its complete transcript or report spending. Plugins
are account-wide and do not isolate credentials between Bots.
Real-client managed acceptance remains required before enabling the
experimental provider.

## Model Used

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 2dd9811e8b Own agent hiring and termination in a lifecycle module (#15631)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Agent creation, approval, pause, and termination change whether an
agent can work.
> - These changes currently use separate service and database paths.
> - Some agents need setup after their record exists and before their
harness can run.
> - This PR adds one module that owns those state changes and their
transactions.
> - The module records progress and retries incomplete work after a
server restart.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Problem or motivation**

A hire can become active before its execution environment is ready.
Direct agent state writes also bypass one common lifecycle boundary.
Termination does not have a durable step for resource cleanup.

**Proposed solution**

Use agent lifecycle commands for hiring, approval, pause, resume, and
termination. Keep proposed hires pending until approval. Prepare each
approved hire, test its saved harness configuration, and then permit
work. Wait for required plugin work before completing a step.

**Alternatives considered**

A general database commit hook would expose transaction details to
callers. A timer alone would delay each new hire. This module owns each
command transaction and starts its worker after commit. A periodic scan
recovers work after a process stops.

**Roadmap alignment**

This change adds the lifecycle boundary for the existing agent and
plugin systems. It does not add a user interface or a provider
implementation. It replaces the lifecycle delivery approach in #15391.
Related proposals include #11475 and #13099; this change does not add
their external executor protocols.

## What Changed

- Add durable approval, preparation, verification, pause, resume, stop,
and cleanup states.
- Keep agent creation, lifecycle state, configuration writes, and agent
record deletion behind `modules/agent-lifecycle`. Keep validation,
credential rules, reads, onboarding, invitations, general approvals, and
company data deletion in their services.
- Commit a hire before the remaining onboarding or invitation work.
Serialize requests with the existing dedicated database connection
helper. Reuse the hire after a failed attempt.
- Keep accepted work in the run queue during setup. Require execution
and cleanup evidence before completing pause or termination.
- Retain the original credential owner when approving migrated hires.
- Start lifecycle work after each command commits. Use database leases
and revision checks for retries and late results.
- Add a generic required plugin method and capability. Store the
required plugin IDs for each agent. Track host and plugin completion
separately.
- Keep harness verification and credential rules in services. Supply
their results to lifecycle through explicit ports. Reject failed logins
and incomplete probes.
- Remove reverse imports from lifecycle adapters into services. Share
record queries and validation below both layers.
- Use one hire decision path for agent IDs and approval IDs. Resolve the
approval and agent change in one transaction. Expose policy
reconciliation on the command object.
- Save configuration and verification invalidation through one module
operation. Ordinary commands own their transaction. Restrict the shared
transaction integration to its listed callers. Reject identity, company,
accounting, timestamp, and unknown fields.
- Require completed termination before deleting agent records. The
company deletion service calls the module through a separate deletion
interface.
- Save an approved secret before applying its agent binding. A failed
binding leaves the secret approved. A retry reuses it.
- Remove old permission and metadata export files. Move hire
configuration rules out of lifecycle persistence.
- Report failed worker steps and scans with operation context and known
error codes. Omit provider messages, stacks, and configuration values.
Document ordinary application use and extension rules.
- Recover expired native owners only after execution stops. Retry
cleanup of failed retained leases. Wait for setup in the live smoke
script.
- Keep manual, budget, and company pause reasons separate. Guard
execution status writes with the ready state.
- Add a migration, boundary checks, regression tests, and a lifecycle
guide. Keep the current UI.
- Limit periodic policy checks to 100 eligible agents per minute.
Continue from the last agent ID. Exclude pending hires and agents in
termination or a final state. Keep explicit company and budget updates
immediate.

## Verification

- Latest head `ccc3c86b0` aligns the shared status update schema with
the PATCH route. All 15 shared tests, 104 server route/OpenAPI tests, 2
CLI tests, and shared/server/CLI TypeScript checks pass. The Greptile
comment is fixed. CI is running; no new Apex review was requested for
this small fix.

- Rebase `75708ac94` rebases onto master at `2eb5187e4`. The backup test
uses the shared 90-second timeout from master; the older timeout commit
was removed. The affected backup test passes.
- Agent budget edits now pass the target agent ID through enforcement.
All 50 affected tests, server TypeScript, and 11 boundary tests pass.
Both configuration update paths have regression coverage. CI is running
on the latest head. No new Apex review was requested for these small
fixes.

- Rebase `9b568666a` preserves the run-control extraction and
delivery-work startup changes from master. All 559 affected tests,
server TypeScript, and 11 boundary tests pass. CI and Apex review are
running on the final head.
- The policy scan fix passes 56 lifecycle and diagnostic tests, 24
policy and caller tests, and 11 boundary tests. A regression test checks
the page limit, interval, excluded states, and cursor wraparound.

- Rebase `fd4698750` passes all 611 tests in eight affected lifecycle,
route, and heartbeat suites. Server TypeScript and all 11 module
boundary tests pass. The company deletion rollback and concurrent hire
tests are included.

- Follow-up `00aac7646` fixes the failed decision deletion test and the
public update schema. All 126 affected server tests, 8 shared tests, 2
CLI tests, and 11 boundary tests pass. Shared, server, CLI, and UI
TypeScript checks pass.

- Server TypeScript passes: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsc
--noEmit`.
- All 11 boundary tests pass: `node --test
scripts/check-module-boundaries.test.mjs`. The repository boundary scan
also passes.
- All 68 lifecycle, failure diagnostic, and harness verification tests
pass. Tests reject forbidden fields through the root command, combined
transition command, and restricted transaction integration. They also
check invalid fields returned by configuration preparation.
- Failure tests cover host work, plugin work, claims, renewals,
deferrals, and scans. Log tests check known error codes and exclusion of
private error contents.
- All 355 tests in 10 existing caller suites pass. These tests cover
secret approval, pairing, pending hires, credentials, company import,
built-in agents, managed agents, instructions, and skills.
- The branch is rebased onto `origin/master` at `2eb5187e4`. The queue
guards and cancellation lock fix use the extracted heartbeat queue.
Agent cancellation uses the extracted run-control file. The source diff
scan found no secrets or private URLs.
- Earlier checks cover approval retries, rollback, late verification
results, policy holds, deletion rollback, concurrent company deletion,
and queue admission during setup.
- Before the rebase, CI passed on `00aac7646` and Greptile Apex rated it
5/5 with no open comments. CI and a new Apex review are pending for the
rebased commit. The branch has no merge conflicts.
- The full local build and native Dot suite were not run. The host has
no Cargo. No live provider test was run.

## Risks

- Background policy recovery takes more than one minute when more than
100 agents are eligible. Explicit company and budget updates still
reconcile immediately.

- The restricted configuration integration keeps an agent reference and
its dependent records in one transaction. It cannot change a budget or
invoke a lifecycle transition. A periodic scan starts pending setup
after that transaction commits.
- Secret approval and binding use separate transactions. A failed
binding can leave an approved secret with no agent binding.
- New approved hires remain unavailable until setup and verification
complete. Existing clients see `paused` during these steps. This PR does
not change the UI.
- Migration `0320_daily_onslaught.sql` maps existing statuses and pause
reasons. It does not create external resources or claim that an existing
harness passed verification.
- Use a coordinated server update for this migration. Older server
versions can write legacy status without the new lifecycle checks.
- A failed onboarding or invitation request can leave a committed hire.
A retry reuses that hire and completes the remaining records.
- Deletion requires completed termination. Company deletion can require
another request while cleanup is pending.
- Required plugins must make repeated calls safe and reject older
revisions. A disabled or removed required plugin blocks completion until
it is restored.
- A new hire can run a second harness test after the existing UI test.
Some adapters can charge for this test.
- No live provider test was run. Provider implementation and resource
backfill remain separate work.
