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.

829f9e7eaf fix(server): settle Muse terminal assignments from committed changes (#17793)
<!-- entire-trail-link-start -->
https://entire.com/gh/paperclipai/-/trails/12/changes/paperclip/12
<!-- entire-trail-link-end -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Its external-agent module owns Muse assignments, operation receipts,
and worker holds.
> - Running assignments and retained terminal history must not cause an
empty maintenance scan every five seconds.
> - Terminal run changes and operation results already have durable
database transactions.
> - This pull request wakes the existing maintenance worker from those
commits and reconstructs work at startup.
> - The worker retries only concrete settlement debt. It retains
qualification deadlines and authority checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #17772. This is slice 57. Parent #17772 has merged.
Related: #17000, #17525, #17752, #17758. The publication targets master
and preserves the merged parent.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Muse terminal assignment settlement and the existing Muse maintenance
worker.

**Current behavior**

A running assignment can keep maintenance scanning every five seconds.
Terminal reconciliation rewrites unchanged history. Native finalization
also calls that reconciliation during periodic replay. Discovery
excludes a revoked original binding even when its assignment still needs
settlement.

**Proposed behavior**

Committed run changes and operation receipts wake the existing worker
with the original company, run or binding identity. Startup reconstructs
actionable work from existing rows. Maintenance processes bounded
batches and disarms after settlement. Default live and manual callbacks
remain. The periodic callback delegates this one duty.

**Reason and benefit**

Configured but idle instances stop querying for this obligation. Late
receipts, restarts, drain and historical bindings still have recovery
paths. No table or independent timer is added.

**Breaking changes**

No schema, endpoint or provider protocol changes. Explicit manual
reconciliation retains its unbounded default. This does not alter Cloud
sleep admission or claim that all instance work can sleep.

## What Changed

- Add an owner predicate shared by discovery and locked settlement.
Fenced private-worker uncertainty remains held without an automatic
retry loop.
- Preserve original binding generation and company/agent/run identity,
including revoked bindings. Fence only the terminal assignment during
reconciliation.
- Extend existing maintenance with scoped hints, bounded batches,
concrete-debt retry, startup reconstruction and quiet drain behavior.
- Register notifications inside existing terminal, projection,
cancellation, operation-result and send-failure transactions. Keep
qualification and OAuth signals explicitly global when coalesced with
scoped changes.
- Serialize only four domain IDs. Real native-finalizer tests caught and
prevent a circular-object serialization failure at this boundary.
- Use existing restore/worktree suppression and settings reactivation.
Delegate both periodic finalizer branches while retaining resource
callbacks and default live/manual settlement.
- Add the producer audit and regression evidence in
`doc/plans/2026-10-26-muse-terminal-settlement-sleep.md`.

## Verification

Accepted production source: `584015018ed4a9d57d2b0f192b75847503b54e53`.
Publication head: `305014b030d6c5eb891c70bc57036f4192d4fdad`. Normal
adoption of the actual parent squash preserves the complete accepted
child tree. Only audit text, a migration-count clarification, and the
proved Photon test extension follow.

- **3,715 distinct cases in 52 complete server files pass**, plus **20
selected chat cases** (3,735 selected total). The main 49-file batch
passes 3,008; process recovery passes 410; review response passes 273;
the full Photon file passes 24. The other 1,794 chat cases were not run
locally.
- **Quiet producer proof:** moving only the Muse fanout outside its
parent guard produces six candidate SELECTs and fails the regression.
Keeping the guard yields zero and still settles a real terminal run. The
same test hash spans the controlled red/green pair.
- **Photon review evidence:** repeated active callbacks produce zero
settlement hints/candidate SQL. Three concurrent attention recoveries
produce exactly one of each. The existing locked attention guard was
correct; production needed no fix. The parent security check accepted
the resolved finding before merge. This PR keeps the additional
settlement queue in the existing regression.
- **Static checks pass:** database build; server typecheck/build; module
boundaries; migration order; current Copilot identity. Packages equal
the accepted parent byte for byte. No new live provider qualification is
claimed.
- **Fixtures and failures:** 34 fresh PostgreSQL 17 fixtures have 412
applied migration receipts through tag 0413_tired_kronos, plus fresh
per-call helper fixtures. All 52 original test hashes restore exactly.
The additional Photon test hash matches its passing proof. Earlier
remote chat passive-idle failure remains recorded; both passive/missing
cases pass in the new selection. Parent handoff timeout/fresh-file-pass
accounting remains in its audit. No assertion or timeout was weakened.
- [Integration and quiet producer
audit](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/305014b030d6c5eb891c70bc57036f4192d4fdad/doc/plans/2026-10-26-muse-terminal-settlement-sleep.md#current-master-integration-and-quiet-producers-2026-10-29).
Fresh CI, security, and exact-head Greptile 5/5 must pass before merge.

<details><summary>Earlier revision verification and failure
history</summary>

Receiver failure fairness: a controlled 1,100 ms batch reproduced a
30-second delay for healthy due receivers. The worker now supplies its
existing per-item deadline through `nextRunAtOnError`. All 20 receiver
lifecycle tests pass on the owner and combined tip
`31c12f1d68ff4a51e06fc2be2abf2c2aee9f9d3a`; server production
typechecking passes on the owner. The failed receiver retains its own
backoff, and settled receivers return to zero recurring SQL. The
five-second assertion budget is unchanged. See [the owning
audit](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/f7477933469fdc960f555425dce66eff25a94e54/doc/plans/2026-10-25-chat-receiver-discovery-sleep-audit.md#healthy-receiver-progress-after-a-slow-failed-batch).
Current-head CI and review remain required.

Approved delegated Test-tab calls now evaluate caller and target
policies in the existing claim transaction. Real HTTP regressions first
showed a missing caller charge and shared-limit self-rejection. All 78
connection-management cases and 92 gateway cases now pass on the owning
branch, along with server production typechecking. All 78
connection-management cases also pass at combined tip
`d25f830db89c1623bff3547bfc68015c1c66e0cf`. The three new cases cover
shared charges, separate charges, rollback on denial, duplicate
approval, and rejection of a later authorized call. Intermediate
counter/identity fixture failures and a reused-database Slack collision
are recorded in [the owning
audit](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/bbd31dea5ef3a4875950a87b4636af8b6bde858e/doc/idle-approved-tool-recovery.md#delegated-test-tab-admission-after-policy-changes).
The earlier combined checks below remain evidence for their stated
revisions. Current-head CI and review remain required.

Inherited voice-cleanup verification: the controlled slow-provider
regression and all 13 lifecycle tests passed on its owner and combined
tip `ab22d8ed0c09028315607414b83b375e5cc0a60a`. That repair changed only
the fixture clock advancement and its audit note.

Current head: `f7477933469fdc960f555425dce66eff25a94e54`. This remains a
single-duty PR stacked on #17772.

- Integrated pinned master `8548173fc9efdc0fa07644fb92dcc0b6851a95e5`
with normal merges. Every branch passed generated-schema checks and its
target-branch migration-order gate. Existing SQL is unchanged; the 25
stack migrations follow master’s new migration.
- Duty-specific producer coverage, lifecycle tests, and earlier failure
records:
[2026-10-24-recurring-server-sleep-stack.md](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/ff196791db6dada2dc04ea9db0d58c5c3beb4a41/doc/plans/2026-10-24-recurring-server-sleep-stack.md),
[2026-10-26-muse-terminal-settlement-sleep.md](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/ff196791db6dada2dc04ea9db0d58c5c3beb4a41/doc/plans/2026-10-26-muse-terminal-settlement-sleep.md).
- Combined tip `51e6cbe67979b55b340ea9f0f434c5b5c682ccd6`: **355
startup/cancellation/recovery/dispatch/preservation tests**, **75
connection-management tests**, and production server typechecking pass.
These combined checks do not mean every intermediate PR independently
ran the full repository suite.
- Real master-to-stack database upgrade passes: **379 unchanged prior
migration receipts plus 25 new migrations**, with the gateway
responsibility fixture preserved.
- Owning-branch checks: 84 runner installation/settlement cases plus
runner typechecking and generated TypeScript/Rust profile agreement; 253
GitHub review workflow cases. Stop-attribution and held-worker readiness
regressions failed before their fixes.
- Failure accounting: the initial combined run passed 349 cases and
failed six idle assertions in a reused preservation database containing
old cancelled runs. Repeating the combined command with a fresh
preservation database passed. Earlier invalid project selection, merge
import/type errors, and the interrupted full local suite are not counted
as passing checks.
- **Latest-head CI and review remain required.** Prior CI findings
include GitHub idle observation, route teardown, attention cleanup,
touch-picker E2E, workspace health, and voice-cleanup timing; local
passes do not erase those failures. No full local repository-suite,
deployed sleep, fleet cost, or live Copilot qualification claim is made.


</details>

## Risks

- In-process signals do not capture independent SQL or other replicas.
Supported external events still need ingress.
- Pending assignments and operation receipts retain their original
binding identity. A new agent configuration cannot take their ownership.
- Genuine qualification, OAuth, and recovery deadlines remain
obligations. They must not be discarded merely to make the worker quiet.
- The parent coarse-hint guard prevents recurring Muse discovery; real
company/binding authority changes retain their signals.
- No full local repository suite, full chat suite, live Muse or Copilot
qualification, deployed sleep, database suspension, external alarm
coverage, or cost savings is claimed. Existing Cloud blockers remain.

DottaandPaperclip cb2d6e80d3 perf: stop polling idle Muse maintenance (#17000)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Muse connects an external worker to a Paperclip agent.
> - Its maintenance loop scans the database every five seconds, even
without bindings.
> - These empty scans prevent an otherwise idle database from sleeping.
> - The shared delivery coordinator can react to committed writes and
saved deadlines.
> - This change uses that coordinator and retains recovery for
unfinished assignments.
> - Idle Muse maintenance can now stop querying the database.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Muse qualification, OAuth authority, and terminal assignment
maintenance.

**Current behavior**

A claimed instance runs two empty scans every five seconds even when
Muse has no bindings. This produces about 34,560 unnecessary queries per
day. Warm standby suppression from #16974 does not cover claimed
instances.

**Proposed behavior**

Recover once at startup. Wake after relevant transactions settle.
Schedule qualification expiry at its saved deadline. Retain five-second
recovery only for failures and unfinished assignments.

**Reason and benefit**

Remove recurring database traffic from idle Muse maintenance while
preserving authority checks and recovery. Reuse the database work signal
foundation from #15625 without adding tables.

## What Changed

- Register Muse maintenance with the shared delivery coordinator and its
idle admission rules.
- Signal pairing, OAuth attachment and revocation, qualification
changes, and new assignments before transaction writes. The existing
transaction layer waits for outer commit.
- Restore qualification deadlines from persisted bindings. Retry failed
sweeps and unfinished assignments.
- Add PostgreSQL tests for idle quiet, nested commit, rollback,
deadlines, standby, drain, and failure recovery. Verify signals from
actual Muse producers. Preserve startup, newly committed work, and
failed sweep retries across idle drain without SQL polling.
- Document the remaining recovery cadence and sleep limitations.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed before rebase. Server typechecking also
passed after rebase and the drain fix.
- `pnpm build`: passed before rebase.
- Final change: 33 maintenance, delivery coordinator, and scheduler
tests passed. Maintenance used a fresh disposable PostgreSQL 17
database.
- Muse control-plane tests: 254 passed against the same disposable
database.
- `pnpm test:run`: attempted, then stopped after repeated embedded
PostgreSQL startup failures from this host's semaphore limit.
Native-session, Muse, and AI-connection suites could not create local
clusters. The complete suite runs in CI.
- `git diff --check`: passed.
- Final commit `e106cbf20d`: all CI gates passed, including complete
test suites, E2E, build, production bundle boot, public-install smoke
test, and canary dry run. Greptile and Paperclip source reviews both
rated 5/5, with no unresolved findings.

The focused suites accept `PAPERCLIP_MUSE_MAINTENANCE_TEST_DATABASE_URL`
and `PAPERCLIP_MUSE_CONTROL_TEST_DATABASE_URL`. Use a disposable test
database; fixtures remove test data.

## Risks

- Unfinished assignments retain five-second recovery. This change
removes idle polling, not all Muse polling.
- Signals are process-local. Independent database writers need explicit
integration. Startup recovers persisted state.
- Qualification deadlines depend on the running process. Existing
durable Muse sleep blockers remain unchanged.
- The receiver keeps its batching timer. An empty buffer already makes
no database calls.
- No schema migration or API change.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip ba3bdd0675 Keep Muse maintenance idle on unclaimed warm instances (#16974)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Cloud keeps unclaimed applications warm so new users can enter
quickly.
> - Empty warm applications use an existing standby predicate to skip
recurring database work.
> - Muse maintenance starts without that predicate and scans its tables
every five seconds.
> - These scans keep an empty database active even when no Muse binding
exists.
> - This pull request applies the existing standby predicate to Muse
startup and recurring maintenance.
> - The benefit is idle database compute while the application stays
warm, with normal maintenance after claim.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

`createApp` starts Muse maintenance without the warm standby guard used
by other background services. The worker updates qualification evidence
at startup and reads binding tables every five seconds, including on an
empty unclaimed instance.

**Expected behavior**

An unclaimed warm application must not run recurring database work. Muse
maintenance must resume after the signed claim, without a process
restart.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start the maintenance service with background work disabled.
2. Advance the timer beyond several five-second sweeps.
3. Observe database calls from the original implementation despite the
disabled state.

The new regression test uses real PostgreSQL. The original source fails
its zero-query assertion; the patched source passes.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `813e808af46` before this fix. Related: Refs #16448.

## What Changed

- Pass the Cloud standby predicate to Muse maintenance.
- Admit both the startup evidence update and recurring sweeps only when
background work is enabled.
- Mark startup evidence once, before reconciliation. Retry that write
after a database failure.
- Add PostgreSQL tests for standby, claim, later ticks, default deadline
enforcement, and startup-write failure.
- Document the maintenance boundary.

## Verification

- Five focused test files passed: 278 tests. They cover Muse
maintenance, Muse control and qualification routes, and Cloud standby
behavior.
- Controlled regression: the new standby test fails against the original
maintenance source. The patched source was restored after the
comparison.
- The new PostgreSQL test advances ten minutes while admission is closed
and observes zero database operations. It opens admission and verifies
the persisted qualification evidence update and reconciliation. Later
sweeps retain a single successful startup update.
- `pnpm check:module-boundaries` passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed.
- `pnpm build` passed.
- All 54 CI checks passed; two conditional jobs were skipped.
- Apex review: 5/5, no actionable comments or unresolved threads.
- The full local test command is still running. The focused tests,
workspace typecheck, build, and complete CI matrix above are the
finished checks.

## Risks

- Claimed workspaces retain existing Muse maintenance. The app gate
depends only on warm standby. It does not suppress deadline enforcement
or terminal cleanup during idle task drain.
- Work resumes on the next five-second maintenance tick after claim.
Request-driven work remains available through the existing claim path.
- The receiver keeps its existing lifecycle. Its empty pending-contact
map causes no database writes in standby.
- No database migration, provider configuration, or authority rule
changes.
- Broker and receiver effects are mocked in the new maintenance tests.
The database operations are real. Existing Muse control tests cover the
broker boundary; no live Muse provider qualification is claimed.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with tool-assisted source inspection,
implementation, and test execution. The exact model variant and context
window are not exposed in this session.
