Devin FoleyandPaperclip b5bf86ea09 Clear process identity when settled native runs stop (#17374)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Each heartbeat run stores the process identity of its runner in
`heartbeat_runs.process_pid`, `process_group_id` and
`process_started_at`
> - Only cancellations (`release_run_resources`), restart recovery and
heartbeat recovery cleared these fields
> - Failed native runs take the `schedule_retry` path, so they kept a
PID after the run finished, for weeks
> - Liveness checks for old runs then depend on PID-reuse defenses, and
code that reads a set PID as "running" is misled
> - This pull request releases the process identity of settled native
runs when the process is confirmed gone, and backfills old sandbox rows
> - The benefit is that a finished run no longer looks like it owns a
live process, while live, warm and retrying processes keep their
identity

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17358. Bug report described in-PR (bug report template).

**What happened?**
On one instance, 16 of 23 old native workspace sync folders belonged to
failed or cancelled runs that finished more than a week earlier and
still had `process_pid` set. The PID is written when the run's process
starts (for remote targets it is the sandbox PID). The status arbiter
clears it only through `release_run_resources`, which only cancellations
emit. Failed native runs take `schedule_retry`, and other terminal paths
(finalization reconciler, restart recovery terminal failures, watchdog
timeouts) do not clear it either.

**Expected behavior**
When a run is terminal and its process is confirmed gone (or no longer
owned), the process identity is cleared. A process that may still be
alive keeps its identity.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a native task whose provider turn fails, so the arbiter decides
`run_failed_partial_evidence_preserved` with a `schedule_retry` effect.
2. Wait for the run to finish and the runner to exit.
3. Read the run row: `status = 'failed'` and `process_pid` /
`process_group_id` / `process_started_at` are still set.

**Paperclip version or commit:** `master` at 75fcb0b3fc.
**Deployment mode:** any.
**Agent adapter(s) involved:** native runtime (`paperclip_runner`);
local and sandbox targets.

## What Changed

- `releaseSettledNativeRunProcess` (in `native-local-process-stop.ts`)
clears `process_pid`, `process_group_id` and `process_started_at` of a
native run under a row lock, only when all of these are true:
- the status is `failed`, `cancelled`, `timed_out` or `interrupted`, and
`finished_at` is set;
- the finalization coordinator is absent, `committed` or
`terminal_failure` (a `retryable_failure` same-run retry keeps the
existing heartbeat recovery path; unfinished finalization keeps its
identity);
- the run has a session checkpoint or provider evidence, so native
session resume never mistakes it for an unused bootstrap;
- local target: every lease is released without failed cleanup, the
latest `native.process_identity_recorded` event names this host and the
same PID/group, and the PID and group probe absent. The release writes
the existing `native.local_process_stopped` receipt in the same
transaction, so `hasNativeLocalProcessStop`,
`readNativeLocalProcessStop`, explicit continuation and acknowledged
Stop keep their proof;
- sandbox target: every lease has a remote termination receipt (sandbox
PIDs are never probed on this host).
- Succeeded runs keep their identity: a warm runner can serve the next
turn, and chat retry matches warm predecessors by PID.
- The heartbeat executor calls the release after lease and scratch
cleanup at a terminal boundary (not when a same-run resume, workspace
finalization or held ownership is pending).
- Background work stays idle (see
`rules/sleep-aware-background-work.mdc`):
- Trigger: the executor settlement calls `settleNativeRunProcess`. If
the release is not ready yet (process still alive, local lease not
released, remote termination receipt missing), the run goes into an
in-memory pending set.
- Startup: the first `reapOrphanedRuns` pass after boot runs
`discoverSettledNativeRunProcesses` once, in pages of 50, over the
durable rows. This reconstructs work after a restart and covers terminal
transitions outside an executor (reconciler, restart recovery, watchdog,
timeouts).
- Retry: later passes call `retryPendingSettledNativeRunProcesses` only
for pending runs. It makes no database call when the set is empty. A run
leaves the set when it is released, becomes ineligible, or reaches 20
attempts.
  - Runs that this process still executes are skipped.
- Stop receipts now also record `processStartedAt`.
`withReleasedNativeRunProcess` restores a released identity from the
latest stop receipt. Retained session cleanup
(`reconcileRetainedNativeSessionCleanup`) and warm transition restart
checks use it. Quiescent runnerd state recovery reads the stop receipt
when the prior run's identity was released. Without a receipt, all three
still treat the identity as unproven.
- Migration `0377_clear_settled_native_run_process_identity` backfills
sandbox runs (without bumping `updated_at`) with the same rules: native,
settled status, `finished_at` older than 1 day, settled coordinator
phase, checkpoint or provider evidence, and at least one lease where
every lease has a valid remote termination receipt. The snapshot is
carried forward as `0377_snapshot.json`.
- Not changed: legacy (non-native) runs. Case handoff release, scratch
cleanup and conversation continuation read the terminal row's local
PID/group as process-tree absence evidence, so clearing them needs
separate work. `release_run_resources` cancellation behavior and
`native_run_finalizations.controller_*` fields (they track the server
controller, not the run process) are unchanged.

### Migration margin

The 1-day margin is defense in depth. The real proof is the remote
termination receipt: the provider confirmed that the sandbox stopped or
was destroyed. One day is far longer than lease release, sandbox stop,
restart recovery takeover and the finalization reconciler sweep, so no
in-flight teardown or same-run recovery can still read these rows. Local
rows are not backfilled in SQL: only the host that recorded the process
can verify that it stopped and write the stop receipt. The runtime sweep
releases them on that host.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run
src/__tests__/native-settled-process-release.test.ts` (new, 20 tests):
release with a stop receipt and restore of the identity from it;
`cancelled`/`timed_out`/`interrupted`; live process kept, then released
after exit; kept for succeeded, `retryable_failure`,
`workspace_finalizing`, unreleased local lease, another host, no
evidence, unconfirmed sandbox, mixed leases; sandbox release with
receipts; startup discovery paging and skip; pending retry; retry cap;
no database access while nothing is pending; `reapOrphanedRuns`
discovery, then retry after the process exits; executor release for a
failed native run and no release for a succeeded run.
- `native-provider-failure.integration.test.ts`: a real `schedule_retry`
decision (`run_failed_partial_evidence_preserved`) leaves the failed run
with its PID after finalization, and the release then clears it and the
stop receipt reads back.
- `native-session-executor.test.ts`: quiescent recovery and retained
session cleanup accept a released identity with a stop receipt and
reject one without a receipt.
- `packages/db` `client.test.ts` migration rule: the backfill does not
set `updated_at`.
- `native-finalization-migration.test.ts`: migration 0377 clears only
old settled native sandbox rows with confirmed termination (15 fixtures,
including recent, succeeded, running, legacy, unsettled phases, no
evidence, unconfirmed or local leases, no lease).
- Related suites, all passing: `pnpm exec vitest run` on
heartbeat-process-recovery, native-workspace-sync-retention(-config),
native-finalization-{migration,settled-candidates,recovery},
chat-failed-run-retry-boundary, acknowledged-native-stop,
explicit-native-continuation, conversation-continuation,
native-session-resume, native-run-finalizer-telemetry,
native-session-executor, native-safe-replacement,
native-finalization-reconciler-timing, native-restart-recovery,
native-finalization-recovery-state, run-lifecycle,
agent-instruction/directory working copies, heartbeat-case-handoff (1920
tests across 23 files).
- `pnpm run typecheck` in `server/`: passes. `pnpm run check:migrations`
and the snapshot drift test in `packages/db`: pass.
- Mutation checks (each reverted alone; a test failed every time):
executor call, startup discovery, pending retry in `reapOrphanedRuns`,
retry cap, pending-set cleanup on retry, start time in the stop receipt,
retained cleanup receipt fallback, coordinator phase guard, succeeded
exclusion, liveness probe, host check, remote receipt check,
provider-evidence guard, local lease check, quiescent recovery receipt
fallback, migration margin, migration NULL-safe receipt check, migration
phase guard. The NULL-safe check came from a real bug the migration test
found. The warm transition restart call site has no direct test: that
path has no existing fixture. It uses the same tested helper.
- Not run: the full server suite and e2e tests.

## Risks

- Behavior change: more native runs now have a null `process_pid` after
they settle. Every native reader was checked: explicit continuation,
acknowledged Stop and agent stop use the stop receipt for null
identities; cancelled-startup detection also requires no process events,
so a released run is not mistaken for a cancelled startup; native
session resume selection is protected by the evidence guard; chat retry
reads its warm-predecessor PIDs from succeeded runs, which are not
released.
- A recycled local PID keeps a row unreleased (conservative), and
sandbox runs from providers without termination receipts keep their
identity.
- Background cost: one paged discovery at startup. After that, only
pending runs are checked, at most 20 times each. With nothing pending
there is no recurring query.
- A transition outside an executor that happens after startup, with no
executor settlement, is released at the next startup discovery.
- Migration: a data-only `UPDATE` on `heartbeat_runs` with a selective
`WHERE`; it passes the migration safety check. It is safe to re-run.

d747752496 fix(runner): record why an OpenCode turn fails when opencode serve stops (#16863)
When `opencode serve` stops during a turn, the OpenCode driver now fails the
active turn itself with a closed-vocabulary cause (server exit code or known
signal, allowlisted socket error code, HTTP status, or closed stream) instead
of leaving runnerd to close it with `error: null`. The proxy flushes stdout
before a fatal exit so the failed turn reaches runnerd, and the server records
OpenCode failed turns as `nativeTurnFailure` (live and persisted-recovery
paths) so the run-failure diagnostic names the cause. Provider text is never
copied. Run status, retries and recovery behaviour do not change.

275189d8d6 fix(native): report why an unclassified Codex turn failed (#16354)
<!-- Write all pull request text in Simplified Technical English
(ASD-STE100): short sentences, one instruction per sentence, simple
approved vocabulary, and the active voice. -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs use the Paperclip runner to drive a provider session,
for example the Codex app server
> - When a Codex turn fails, two classifiers look for known failures: a
model rejection and a server capacity failure
> - When no classifier matches, the run fails with the generic message
`Native session failed` and the error code `adapter_failed`
> - The run failure report to Sentry then has no data about the cause,
because the server drops the Codex `codexErrorInfo` value
> - This pull request records a closed-vocabulary diagnostic for that
failed turn and sends it to the Sentry `provider_failure` context
> - The benefit is that operators can see which Codex failure kind
causes these generic failures, and then write a targeted fix

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
Hosted staging reports many run failures with the title `Error: Native
session failed`. The events have `agent_adapter=paperclip_runner`,
`error_code=adapter_failed`, `driverKind=codex_app_server`, and
`exitCode=1`. The events do not show why the Codex turn failed.

**Expected behavior**
A run failure report for a failed Codex turn shows the failure kind, so
that an operator can find the cause. The report must not contain
provider response text, prompts, or model names.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a native Codex run.
2. Make the Codex app server end the turn with `status: "failed"` and an
error that is not a model rejection or `serverOverloaded`. For example,
use `codexErrorInfo: "contextWindowExceeded"`.
3. Look at the Sentry event for the run failure. Before this change, the
`provider_failure` context is empty.

**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Codex (native runner, `codex_app_server` driver).

## What Changed

- `native-provider-failure.ts`: The provider failure observation now
records a diagnostic for each failed Codex turn. The diagnostic has only
closed values: `provider: "codex"`, `category: "turn_failed"`, a known
`CodexErrorInfo` kind (or `unrecognized` / `absent`), an HTTP status
from 100 to 599 for the HTTP variants, and a runner failure code from an
explicit allowlist of the codes the runner itself writes on a failed
Codex turn (any other string becomes `unrecognized`, because a provider
error object can carry its own `code`). It never copies the provider
message.
- New `unclassifiedTurnFailure()` gives this diagnostic only for a
failed terminal turn that `forTerminal()` does not classify.
`forTerminal()`, error codes, error messages, retries, and finalizer
decisions do not change.
- New `readNativeTurnFailureDiagnostic()` rebuilds a persisted value
from the closed vocabulary and rejects all other values.
- `native-session-executor.ts`: The adapter result keeps the generic
message. It adds `resultJson.nativeTurnFailure` when the turn failure is
unclassified.
- `run-failure-diagnostics.ts`: The run failure report copies the
validated diagnostic into the `provider` context. Sentry sends this as
`provider_failure`.
- Tests: unit tests for the vocabulary, HTTP status bounds, unknown
kinds, runner codes, and privacy; a diagnostics test; and an update to
the end-to-end executor test for the `unknown-error` scenario.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-provider-failure
src/services/__tests__/run-failure-diagnostics.test.ts
src/services/__tests__/run-failure-report*.test.ts
src/__tests__/sentry*.test.ts` (in `server/`): 6 files, 432 passed, 5
skipped.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts` (in
`server/`): 698 passed.
- I could not run the full `tsc --noEmit` in my sandbox: the memory
limit stopped the process, and the runner vendor build needs `cargo`. CI
runs the full typecheck.
- To check by hand: make a Codex turn fail with an unclassified error.
Then make sure that the Sentry event `provider_failure` context shows
`category: turn_failed` and the `codexErrorInfo` kind, and no provider
text.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change adds diagnostic data only. Run status, error
code, error message, retry, and finalizer logic do not change.
- Privacy: the diagnostic uses an allowlist of Codex enum names, a
bounded integer, and an allowlist of runner-issued failure codes. Tests
make sure that provider text does not get through.
- If Codex adds a new `CodexErrorInfo` kind, the diagnostic shows
`unrecognized` until the allowlist gets the new kind.
- This change does not fix the root cause. It gives the data that is
necessary to find the cause.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, used through Claude
Code with tool use (shell, file edit, test runs).

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 1d5a439e2b Diagnose native model rejections and preserve repairable reviews (#15304)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent execution and recovery.
> - A native provider can return a failed turn with an accepted result.
> - This path replaced a structured model rejection with a generic
failure.
> - Finalization could also queue the same failed request for recovery.
> - This change retains a bounded model and authentication diagnosis.
> - Workers wait for a configuration fix; reviews retain their
assignment.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Describe the bug**

A native Codex turn can report HTTP 400 because the selected model is
not supported by its ChatGPT connection. When the turn also returns a
failed semantic result, the run shows `Native session failed` and
`adapter_failed`. The native failed-result finalizer can create a retry
intent before the adapter error is saved.

**To Reproduce**

Use a native Codex session that returns a structured
`invalid_request_error` model/ChatGPT rejection and an accepted failed
result. The regression tests reproduce this with a stub provider and a
real isolated PostgreSQL database. No provider account or live request
is needed.

**Expected behavior**

Show an actionable error and stop automatic retries of the rejected
request. Block the current worker for a configuration fix. Preserve a
pending review so its reviewer can explicitly retry after repair and
resolve the original assignment. A stale run must not block a new task
owner or override a completed review.

**Version and deployment mode**

The affected source path is present at `858094ba81`. This change applies
to native Codex execution in local and remote environments.

Related work: #13853 covers CLI protocol compatibility, #14942 refreshes
runtime/model pins, and #12767 proposes legacy adapter model validation.
This change concerns accepted native failed results and does not replace
those changes.

## What Changed

- Recognize only a bounded structured HTTP 400 provider error for the
exact selected model and failed turn.
- Save a fixed actionable error and four fixed diagnostic fields.
Exclude raw provider text and model names from the new diagnostic.
- Re-derive finalization evidence from the pinned execution and
committed runner event, including its canonical hash and identity
bindings.
- Block only the current worker. For a current pending reviewer,
preserve the original review decision and status version, release
execution, and create no automatic recovery action. Recheck execution
ownership under the issue lock. Preserve superseded and completed
reviews.
- Keep unknown failures, accepted results, cleanup, and ownership fences
intact. Advance the status policy version to `phase6-v8`.
- Route this exact failure code through the existing configuration
recovery path. Permit an authenticated Board retry of this native
failure only for its saved, still-pending review; discard caller review
markers and revalidate at dispatch.

## Verification

- Node 24: `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed.
- Independent focused validation: 222 tests passed across the new
observer and PostgreSQL integration suites, status arbiter, diagnostic
redaction, recovery classification, wake policy, and wake use cases.
- The integration tests use actual result persistence, finalization, and
the wake dispatcher. They cover zero retry dispatch for an authorized
rejection, repeated reconciliation, pending/superseded/resolved reviews,
reassignment, and a same-agent successor at an unchanged status version.
- Final-commit verification: full typecheck and build passed;
independent route/integration/arbiter/review validation passed 136 tests
with no remaining source findings. This includes authenticated retry
refusals, actual heartbeat retry admission, atomic queued-review claim,
and acceptance of the original review.
- The local aggregate test run was stopped to avoid duplicating the
canonical Linux CI aggregate on this development host. Its partial log
showed no failures; no full local-suite pass is claimed. The full hosted
Linux CI aggregate passed on the final commit.
- No live provider calls, runtime changes, or schema changes were made.

## Risks

The classifier is intentionally narrow. A changed provider response
format remains an unknown failure. No global model restriction is
introduced. The worker blocker requires current task authority and does
not replace newer assignments or completed review decisions. A pending
review remains in review and requires an explicit retry after
configuration repair; it is not rebound to a new status decision.

The retry decision is durable. There remains a small existing gap
between status/effect commit and diagnostic metadata persistence; a
crash there can leave a generic diagnostic while preserving the blocked
decision. No schema migration is required.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with reasoning, tool use, and code execution. The
exact serving model suffix and context-window size are not exposed in
this session.
