DottaandPaperclip 492d537340 fix(native): recover controllers across webserver replacement (#18343)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Native execution runs in a remote Runner while the webserver owns
its controller.
> - Encrypted PRP checkpoints and session snapshots already survive a
webserver restart in Postgres.
> - Ordinary warm and per-turn admission still needs local markers and
supervisor metadata to find that state.
> - Replacing the webserver with an empty native controller directory
can therefore lose a usable retained session.
> - This change adds bounded recovery metadata to the existing snapshot
transaction and reconstructs local projections from the selected durable
source.
> - The benefit is native execution continuity across webserver
replacement, with the existing ownership and agent lifecycle policies.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Native remote controller recovery and retained-session continuation
during a webserver upgrade.

**Subsystem affected**

server/ — native runtime, checkpoint persistence, recovery scheduling
and internal upgrade reporting. Product E2E qualification also changes.

**Current behavior**

Without both the local PRP marker and supervisor file, normal
continuation can return before discovering the saved Postgres
checkpoint. The snapshot already exists in Postgres, but its local reuse
compatibility envelope cannot be reconstructed.

**Proposed behavior**

Select the existing durable source, validate its identity and ownership,
restore its PRP state and supervisor projection, then use normal
authenticated admission. Missing or inconsistent evidence holds
recovery. It does not authorize fresh provider work.

**Reason and benefit**

A replacement webserver must recover active execution and later continue
its retained session without the old server's native files. This is one
component of deployment continuity. HTTP traffic switching, workspace
storage migration and Railway rollout remain separate.

**Breaking changes**

No new public endpoint, schema migration or database pool. The private
run-profile envelope is additive. Disk-independent rollback also
requires a reader for the staged controller format and compact
checkpoint part; the first production release containing these readers
is the floor. Older file-backed sessions need an owner checkpoint or the
bounded internal importer.

**Additional context**

Related foundations: #17401, #17916, #17254, #14621, #14622. The
implementation contract and open acceptance gates are in [the dated
plan](doc/plans/2026-10-30-native-controller-checkpoints.md).

## What Changed

- Persist a versioned recovery envelope, at most 4 KiB, beside the
redacted session snapshot in its existing transaction. Keep it out of
public run projections.
- Compare frozen admission separately from prepared attachment
instructions during staged recovery, preserving exact
template/identity/authority checks.
- Bound the existing lazy checkpoint pool at three connections after
measured two-slot burst backlog; keep request/renewal capacities and SQL
operation counts unchanged. The tuning is a separate commit.
- Discover and restore the exact selected retained source without local
native markers. Preserve the 32-candidate window, progress barriers and
current authority checks.
- Fence snapshot and result writes. Acquire coordinator, issue and run
locks in order and check expiry after lock waits. Combine snapshot
ownership/read work into one statement.
- Reuse existing recovery deadlines and drain/resume scheduling.
Retained-owner waits preserve the original unstarted run and actual
lease deadline. Stop, ownership and provider-progress fences precede
deferral. Add bounded native evidence reporting, retained-source import
and retention protection.
- Admit a settled warm source with an authenticated idle goal-read
suffix while retaining active-work and mixed-authority holds.
- Permit lifecycle `turn.stop` checkpoints after accepted results under
existing ownership fences. Claim the existing successor coordinator
before retiring the old warm session, and stage shared attachments only
after verified retirement. Preserve omitted isolated-home defaults and
existing fresh skill-selection order during recovery without hiding real
configuration changes.
- Carry the exact durable six-field PRP binding during active recovery
after a healthy warm handoff. Keep the Runner mismatch guard and
preserve opaque attachment IDs.
- Preserve an already verified active or idle warm process during remote
preparation; revalidate its proof/liveness and retain later
authenticated PRP attachment. Ordinary resumed leases retain suspension
checks.
- Drain retained source events under their original authority, reconcile
immutable source accounting and block unknown source tool dispatch
before target work.
- Persist compact staged handoff intent through authenticated adoption
and recover direct/listener command-loss windows without another Runner
or duplicate attachment.
- Rebuild suspended lifecycle receipts for resumed prepared tasks, and
retry missing lifecycle reads after partial PRP materialization without
overwriting contradictory evidence.
- Add normal warm/per-turn diskless continuation coverage, real Postgres
races and SQL-cost checks. Add a reproducible paired load workload.
- Give only the explicit outage fixture a 15-minute provider idle
window, with a red/green catalog regression preserving all production
timing and lifecycle policies.
- Publish the goal-less task-session pointer in the existing
post-acceptance terminal checkpoint transaction, with current ownership,
accepted-result, reset and newer-progress fences. Keep a private bound
receipt so late completion cannot duplicate or resurrect publication.
- Use a retained warm sandbox in the dedicated continuity fixture, and
accept an exact output token followed by an explanation. Keep the strict
identity oracle.
- Extend the explicit Daytona cell to a five-minute active outage and
another replacement after completion. Require retained provider
identity, a new tool receipt and a useful follow-up result. Add an owned
loopback Postgres E2E fixture for hosts that cannot start embedded
Postgres.

## Verification

**Merge recommendation — `fc68584ce6231a02e47ecd743f55b036ccea034f`:
ready for the qualified native-controller component.** Full CI, fresh
review, local application paths, controlled performance qualification
and the strict live Linux/Daytona case pass. Independent resource
cleanup is complete. Broader rollout, browser reconnection and the
unexecuted transport/platform combinations remain integration gates.
Integrated 484 passed full local recursive typecheck/build and ordinary
active→completion→cache-loss→C component qualification. Fresh review
then found a valid attached-wake failure: preparation appends attachment
instructions before the verifier compares execution to the frozen
admission. 9f4 fixes that by separately checking the pre-preparation
admission and exact prepared execution. Both hashes are captured
privately per admission; the full template, identity, configuration and
authority checks remain. Its regression fails before the fix; 36 focused
cases, 42 staged source/target cases and server typecheck pass
afterward. The review thread is resolved. Exact-head full CI passes
([run
41168228822](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41168228822):
48 successful jobs, one intended skip); the complete `pnpm test:run`
partitions are forced, with the five native suites in the Runner lane.
This is not a claim that an unsharded local command passed. The fresh
exact-head Greptile check succeeds with 5/5 and all six threads
resolved.

The original two-connection database comparison closes **steady PASS and
burst FAIL**. Every relative CPU/WAL/request-p99 gate passes and all
operations/ownership remain correct, but candidate arm 3 drains in
1,015.99 ms and baseline arm 4 in 1,059.67 ms against the unchanged
1,000 ms absolute gate. Those results remain failed. A separate 2→3→4→2
diagnostic reproduces drain times 1,051.57 / 956.79 / 882.02 / 1,065.72
ms: three is the smallest tested passing cap, and the repeated two-cap
failure survives run-order/cache effects.

Separately reviewable `fc68584ce6` changes the existing lazy checkpoint
pool default to three connections. Request capacity stays ten and
liveness two; idle release, shutdown fencing, transaction counts and
pool count are unchanged. Thirteen DB lifecycle/cap tests and DB
typecheck pass. Full recursive typecheck/build pass at exact fc68584,
with the matching server build stamp. The final paired native
feature-cost comparison explicitly uses the **same cap-three policy and
common current DB factory in both variants**; its baseline is
controlled, not the unmodified historical cap-two configuration.
Original gates and workload counts remain unchanged. The one strict
Linux/Daytona case started at 04:40:56 UTC only after both new profiles
passed; it passed on the first attempt with all 49 workflow checks.
Independent cleanup confirms all three owned sandboxes absent, owned
Postgres/controllers/observer gone, VM terminated, root volume absent
and ephemeral SSH key/agent removed.

**Final controlled cap-three qualification: PASS.** Baseline native
implementation `59da15066a` and candidate `fc68584ce6` use the same
current DB factory and checkpoint policy (request/liveness/checkpoint =
10/2/3). Eight 65-second ABBA arms cover 300 controllers and 10,000
historical tasks. All correctness, absolute and 10% relative gates pass;
original cap-two failures remain unchanged.

| Mode | DB CPU µs/op, baseline → candidate | WAL B/op, baseline →
candidate | DB-request p99 ms, baseline → candidate | Maximum drain |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Steady | 542.40 → 554.83 (+2.29%) | 1509.01 → 1558.27 (+3.26%) |
107.11 → 111.90 (+4.48%) | 26.35 ms |
| Burst | 1036.36 → 1063.11 (+2.58%) | 4153.12 → 4317.64 (+3.96%) |
103.736 → 103.841 (+0.10%) | 930.14 ms |

Every matched arm preserves operation/statement/transaction counts,
including 3,900 PRP and 3,900 snapshot transactions. All three actual
pools are included; there are zero lost owners, missed lease deadlines,
dropped operations or errors. Peak Postgres CPU is 18.31%/9.47% of two
cores and memory 614.29/684.42 MiB (steady/burst). The benchmark uses
one Node process simulating 300 controllers; it does not qualify
two-webserver overlap, HTTP latency or hosted capacity. Its observer SQL
contributes to measured database CPU. The original unmodified cap-two
baseline is separately retained as failed; this cap-three comparison is
explicitly controlled.

The exact final-source 8/512/8,192-chunk test also passes: zero recovery
SQL, transactions or changed rows in each text-only interval, zero idle
SQL, seven lifecycle transactions and twelve changed rows per sample.
Existing lease traffic remains separate. The final ordinary managed
application replay passes active recovery, completion, native-cache
removal and C continuation; its UNKNOWN local debug-daemon provenance
and partial instruction-observer limits remain recorded. The live case
uses the attested Linux producer instead.


**Live qualification: PASS, one attempt, no retries.** Campaign
`native-controller-retained-fix-fc68584ce6-ec2-20261031T044055Z` started
04:40:56 UTC on the exact final Linux webserver source; suite definition
hash `12f9bb97823c1537e43f0398e7cddf39890f77bce7b413ca4dfd944f4a30e5d5`.
The existing immutable image and attested Bookworm Runner artifact are
unchanged.

- A was SIGKILLed and its native cache discarded. B started after
300,149 ms, naturally acquired generation 2, authenticated at 316,624 ms
and resumed at 317,682 ms within the original 420,000 ms grace. The same
active run, Runner, provider PID/start fingerprint and one
submitted/started/accepted turn were preserved; one final
result/terminal and workspace finalization completed, with no
retry/recovery action.
- After active and queued completion, B was SIGKILLed and its native
cache discarded again. C received exactly one ordinary task-comment API
follow-up, completed a new tool and produced a useful reply while
preserving native/provider/Runner identities. This closes the earlier
failed post-C gate. A separate C OS-process PID field was not exported;
the physical-PID proof is specifically A→B.
- Four distinct results were accepted and published; all four
finalizations committed at attempt 1, all four accounting-v2 projections
settled, and the task-session pointer advanced to C. The coordinator
independently checked these facts and all 49 canonical checks against
the sanitized receipts.
- Canonical cleanup passed and independent checks confirmed three exact
sandbox 404s plus complete inventory/zero owned remnants, no owned PG or
controller/observer processes, EC2 terminated, root volume absent, and
the ephemeral SSH key/agent removed by 04:54:25 UTC.

Live scope is classic remote Codex warm continuity with non-native
storage dependencies available. Prepared-task completed B→C, full
per-turn application disk loss, browser reconnection, two-server load
and overall Railway/HTTP continuity were not live-qualified here.
Earlier failed campaigns and the original cap-two burst failure remain
failed historical evidence. A report-renderer cache setup failure was
preserved; the normal sanitizer subsequently succeeded with an explicit
cache path and a new output directory, without changing validators.


The repair keeps retained events under their original six-field
authority until persistence and accounting accept them. Unknown semantic
effects stay unresolved. A compact staged target survives source
bootstrap, cached-command delivery and authenticated handoff, including
an uncertain commit response. Direct and same-guest-listener recovery
require the verified original Runner and the exact endpoint. Target
snapshot publication marks readiness in memory, with retirement
coalesced into an existing command write. Headers contain only the
staged descriptor/digest; a prequeue template is written once as a
changed checkpoint part and then recovered from the existing
command/receipt. No second session snapshot transaction, streaming SQL
path, new pool or recurring idle scan is added.

| Current repair gate | Evidence and scope |
| --- | --- |
| Source-tail regression | Real Runner protocol RED reproduced
attachment rejection. Frozen core/transport pass five source-tail cases:
source usage attribution, held persistence/no premature ACK, lost commit
response plus cache loss, unknown semantic hold and accounting rejection
hold. |
| Handoff loss windows | Direct and listener modes pass
queued/prepared/activated/completed boundaries (eight cells), preserving
the actual Runner/provider process. Missing adoption proof and changed
endpoints reject recovery. |
| Compact storage | A 31 KiB attachment grant writes its separate part
once, leaves it unchanged across source snapshots and removes it at
queueing. Headers do not duplicate the grant. |
| Accounting | 21 real-Postgres usage tests and 19 source-binding tests
pass. Recovery hydrates immutable source receipts without resetting
their producer or billing classification; conflicting/incomplete usage
holds. |
| Admission and malformed evidence | Driver 16, staged evidence 42,
restart classifier 27 and source usage 19 focused cases pass. Four
malformed-file regressions pass at d6a7, whose executor is
byte-identical at 484, and server typecheck passes. Full executor file:
990 pass; 16 embedded-Postgres `initdb` setup failures before
assertions, retained separately. |
| Required checks | Exact fc68584 recursive typecheck and build pass
locally, with matching server stamp. Forced full CI succeeds (48 jobs
pass, one intended skip); all PR checks are clean. Maps/token gates pass
for their unchanged source surfaces. Fresh exact-head Greptile is 5/5,
all six threads resolved. |
| Ordinary application path | Exact fc68584 managed component passes
active recovery after natural expiry, completion, native-cache loss and
ordinary C continuation. Production bytes match before/after; temporary
fixtures restored and owned DB/services cleaned. UNKNOWN local
debug-daemon/partial instruction-observer limits remain; the separate
live case uses the attested Linux producer. |
| Producer | Locked Bookworm build from exact 5b7 Rust tree
d03e494217, equal to final fc68584 Rust
source. SHA-256
65b8f8cfdd6099e9ad24f1ca154e8a260777269cc82f6e23c6e6a180c531eaaf;
38,515,328 bytes. Actual Debian 12 execution and live admission pass.
Controller/admission/DB changes do not relabel the producer source. |
| Historical cap-two comparison | Exact 59da baseline vs 5b7 candidate,
300 controllers/10,000 history, ABBA 4×65 s per mode, all three actual
pools and real snapshots. Steady CPU/op 541.36→554.64 µs (+2.45%);
WAL/op 1512.13→1560.99 B (+3.23%); DB-request p99 102.78→105.99 ms
(+3.12%): PASS. Burst CPU/op +4.71%, WAL/op +5.29%, p99 −0.10% pass
relative gates, but absolute drains above fail. Identical operation/SQL
counts, zero lost leases/drops/errors. One Node process simulates 300
controllers; this does not qualify two-webserver overlap or HTTP
capacity. |
| Live acceptance | Strict final-source Linux classic Codex case passes
1/1 on attempt 1, all 49 checks. Active recovery within grace and useful
retained C continuation succeed; four
accepted/published/committed/settled outcomes. Independent provider,
PG/process, VM/root and SSH cleanup complete. Prepared/task and broader
rollout limits are explicit above. |

**Historical qualification snapshot through `9eb9ac6`.** The head at
this snapshot was `9eb9ac6f9e312f3ebe8040f5a7565e88ae8824f3`. Server and
Runner package sources are byte-identical to `283e05ffaa`; the two later
commits change the explicitly scoped qualification and its documentation
only. It includes master through the storage-owner fix
`45a3a92e6dc52d20923b9aa34a22fee2ec5443f9` (#18357). At that snapshot,
CI/review passed but the strict post-C native recovery gate failed; the
PR stayed draft and required another native repair. Prior `39a4343` CI
and review passed, but its full live workflow failed; that grade remains
unchanged. The first repaired `435ccd2` live attempt failed before any
injected outage. It exposed a legitimate terminal snapshot before result
acceptance; no accepted result ID or publication receipt was observed.
Its canonical report remains 0/1 `candidate_failure`, with cleanup
passed and independent provider absence confirmed. `0862062` defers
publication until result acceptance and fixes the fresh review's
coordinator/issue lock-order finding. Both failures have deterministic
real-Postgres regressions. The `0862062` live attempt then proved
accepted-result publication but failed active recovery: a resumed-lease
preparation guard demanded suspension after the exact live Runner was
already verified for adoption. `64c0b746` preserves that verified
active/idle-warm process, revalidates its proof/liveness, and keeps
ordinary suspension checks and later PRP authentication. Its live run
passed preparation but exposed a second active-warm boundary: all
durable binding fields matched except opaque turn/item attachment IDs,
which the server had regenerated. `7a203274` carries the complete
verified six-field binding and keeps the strict Runner mismatch guard.
Its cloud case then passed active adoption, completion, publication and
accounting. The queued continuation exposed accepted-result retirement
writes and an implicit-home fingerprint drift; both are fixed with
deterministic regressions in `39a4343` before this fresh full
qualification.

The prior live case exposed a real publication gap. A goal-less native
turn could persist its accepted result and terminal snapshot before
provider cleanup, while the task-session pointer was still empty. Normal
later admission then selected a fresh session. The fix publishes that
pointer and a private bound receipt in the **existing post-acceptance
terminal checkpoint transaction**, before cleanup. Earlier terminal
observations persist without a handled receipt or continuation pointer.
No result-acceptance or snapshot transaction was added. The late
completion path recognizes the receipt. This also prevents a late
callback from restoring a pointer after a user reset. Goal/control
publication keeps its existing owner.

The dedicated Daytona fixture now uses the existing warm/reusable
environment. Its sandbox, Runner and provider storage must survive. The
former generic per-turn fixture disposed the sandbox after completion
and kept provider-history backup bytes under the discarded directory.
Whole per-turn disk-loss acceptance therefore has a separate
provider-backup storage dependency. It remains distinct from the passing
native per-turn component checks with backup storage available. The
60-second lease, 300-second outage and 420-second grace are unchanged.

| Gate | Current repair evidence |
| --- | --- |
| Assembled regression | Baseline fails with an accepted result and
terminal snapshot but a NULL task pointer while real provider cleanup is
held. The fix passes normal continuation and reset cases, with no
pointer seeding. Exact merged `92b7447` passed 2/2 twice, including
after normal package TypeScript output refresh. Production files are
byte-identical at frozen `435ccd2`. |
| Persistence and concurrency | 19 helper/transaction cases and all 59
existing control-port cases pass on `0862062`. They cover bound result
IDs, reset/newer epochs, Stop, lock waits and expiry, receipt replay,
missing stubs, foreign bindings and atomic 4 KiB rollback. Existing
snapshot transaction count stays one. The new tests reproduce the exact
live missing-result-ID error and the inverse replay/status lock order
against `435ccd2`, then pass after the correction. Replayed results
still reject stale generations. |
| Completion | All 32 completion-boundary tests pass on merged
`92b7447`; the source is unchanged at `435ccd2`. Native result-shaped
session metadata is preserved. |
| Qualification fixture | A valid review report reproduced three
rejected correct replies. Exact token-boundary matching fixes them. 140
focused E2E/catalog cases and Product E2E typecheck pass. Wrong tokens,
marker prefixes/suffixes and wrong authors remain rejected;
retained-identity checks are unchanged. |
| Required checks | Full recursive typecheck and standard build passed
at `435ccd2`. Both exact commands also passed on `0862062`, with its
exact server build stamp; both also pass on `7a203274`, with its exact
server build stamp. Fresh `0862062` Greptile passed 5/5, with zero
unresolved threads. The `64c0b746` normal CI then passed all 49 jobs (48
success, one expected skip) and Greptile passed 5/5 with zero unresolved
findings. The `7a203274` normal CI also passed 48 jobs with one expected
skip, with fresh Greptile 5/5 and zero unresolved findings. Current
`39a4343` recursive typecheck and standard build both pass with
persisted exit codes and its exact build stamp; fresh Greptile is 5/5
with zero unresolved findings. Its normal CI completed successfully: 48
jobs passed and one expected job skipped. The fresh live result remains
separately failed. The `0862062` normal CI had 46 passing jobs, one
expected skip, one worker communication failure and its aggregate
failure; GitHub states the self-hosted runner lost communication. No
failed assertion or specific OOM/spot cause was established, and no
blind retry was used. |
| PostgreSQL supplement | One corrected all-pool pair at the preceding
repair passed 300-controller/10,000-history correctness and absolute
gates. SQL 76,590→75,990; transactions 9,013→8,713; UPDATE rows 11,613
each; 300 correct pointer writes each. PG CPU 31.99→30.46 s, WAL
70.36→67.87 MB, request p99 100.98→103.12 ms. This is one pair, not a
repeated improvement claim or an exact `0862062` CPU measurement. Its
two later changes defer premature publication and reorder existing
locks; they add no transaction, stream/idle writer, pool or timer. The
first collapsed-pool attempt remains invalid and retained. This is not
an exact final-head CPU/WAL measurement; later fixes change ordering,
identity selection and in-memory skill replacement without adding
snapshot transactions, pools, stream writes or idle SQL. |
| Live publication proof (`0862062`) | Baseline run
`06fcc806-f186-4190-9b57-087b61d75533` accepted result
`58f912dc-94d9-4b4d-bd3d-d5f689c83fd3`; the publication receipt names
the same result, the task pointer has parameters and `lastRunId`
matches, and the normalized native identity matches the following active
run. Accounting v2 settled. |
| Active recovery (`0862062`) | **FAIL.** SIGKILL/cache discard at
23:07:28.666 UTC; hold 300,000.859 ms; B ready at 308,896.486 ms;
natural generation-2 ownership at 312,906 ms. At about 319 s,
preparation failed `runner_harness_state_mismatch:
resumed_not_suspended`. No authenticated after-receipt passed within 420
s. Exact original Runner PID 668/start/fingerprint was independently
still alive; provider auto-stop was 15 minutes. No retained C follow-up
qualified. Canonical 0/1 `cleanup_failure`/cleanup-failed report remains
failed; subsequent independent cleanup deleted all three owned resources
with exact 404s and confirmed full intended-account inventory with zero
owned resources. |
| Verified adoption preparation (`64c0b746`) | 91 focused cases pass,
including actual preparation for four active providers and a distinct
prior/current warm proof. Unproved resumed state, dead process and stale
warm owner remain rejected. The earlier options-only fixture missed this
gate. No spawn, backup restore or PRP-authentication bypass was added.
Server typecheck passes. |
| Active warm identity (`64c0b746`) | **FAIL.** B claimed generation 2
at 312,995 ms. Preparation passed, then strict PRP recovery rejected the
generated attachment IDs at about 319 s. The saved and desired Runner,
lease, normalized session and run IDs matched; only
`turn_attachment_…`/`item_attachment_…` differed from generated
`turn-<run>`/`item-<run>`. Canonical 0/1 cleanup-failed report remains
failed; independent cleanup confirmed deletion/404s and zero owned
provider resources. |
| Six-field identity repair (`7a203274`) | Actual server-factory
regression RED4→GREEN38. A real Rust Runner test passes healthy first
run → random-ID warm handoff → held active second run → restored
controller. It verifies a new live authenticated connection, exact
identity, same Runner/provider OS identities, no duplicate launch/turn,
and no redispatch or invented receipt for an uncertain tool. The
synthetic wrong pair still fails the unchanged guard. This protocol case
does not claim business completion. Server and Runner typechecks pass. |
| Active recovery/completion (`7a203274`) | **PASS for the active
component.** Full five-minute SIGKILL/cache-loss hold. B ready at
308,936.651 ms; natural generation 2 observed 312,979 ms; authenticated
at 317,720 ms and resumed processing at 318,527 ms. Same run
`1e1ccb00-0728-4935-97da-57562d81cb42`, Runner
`246f73f7-a689-4177-a9c2-7ce711d63aed`, remote PID 669/start
23:48:27.470, provider lease/session and one submitted turn. Accepted
result `49097529-5310-4ac3-af95-5bf9b91d19f4`, publication, finalization
and accounting v2 all settled. |
| Full workflow (`7a203274`) | **FAIL, preserved.** Queued
late-requirement run `5e61f38d-c7d1-4fc1-bcbf-bce9d46ce4eb` failed
`runner did not durably suspend before checkpoint` before outage 2.
Canonical 0/1 candidate failure, cleanup passed, evidence valid. C
retention was not exercised. Independent provider absence,
controllers/PG cleanup, EC2 termination and root-volume absence all
confirmed; closed receipt SHA-256
`676a3b15eb9937b6bf995c36fb8666c88964d509e5ceb9109fb02da0aa2bc909`. |
| Retirement and stable configuration (`39a4343`) | Real Runner +
Postgres RED reproduced the exact suspension failure and nine owner
rejections. `turn.stop` is now lifecycle checkpoint maintenance under
unchanged owner/result/generation fences. GREEN25/25 proves actual
persisted suspension, exact identity and completed stop/drain/suspend;
unaccepted, foreign, stale and new-work negatives remain rejected. Two
default-home fingerprint REDs become GREEN9/9; explicit mode changes
still invalidate. No global matching exemption or historical fingerprint
rewrite. |
| Fresh full Daytona warm cell (`39a4343`) | **FAIL, preserved.**
Launched 00:15:29 UTC with automatic retries disabled. Active adoption
passed: actual offline hold 300,000.848 ms; B ready 309,922.155 ms;
natural generation 2 at 311,821 ms; authenticated 317,989 ms; resumed
330,440 ms. Same run `3e126819-e786-4b3b-b923-c975cf4f5b79`, Runner
`4079138a-8d7c-44a4-8558-07a5411d1f55`, PID 668/start and
provider/session identities. Accepted result
`08e504af-4dec-48a8-bf05-bf0a32280559` and publication passed. Queued
run `31d168c9-7ab9-4700-abb6-fafb90912237` failed the same strict
suspension error before outage 2. Its row selected a new native
identity, but no new third provider process or invocation was observed.
Recovery-time configuration still reset only `adapterConfig`; native
provider, context and workspace subtrees were unchanged. Canonical 0/1
candidate failure, evidence valid, normal cleanup passed; all campaign
provider/PG/process resources independently absent. Closed campaign

EC2/SSH remain temporarily held for the concrete follow-up repair.
Original 60/300/420-second limits and strict queued/second-replacement
checks remain unchanged. Direct-process path; no new live prepared-task
claim. |
| Native retirement authority (`283e05ffaa`) | Exact `39a4343` facade
regression RED3→GREEN9. The successor now uses its existing production
coordinator claim and prompt renewal before strict retirement. A real
Runner/Postgres case starts in the actual native-observed/unclaimed
phase, claims through production code, then closes and durably suspends
the predecessor in 1.657 s. All 25 real-Postgres cases pass;
unclaimed/foreign writers remain rejected. Shared attachment staging
stays after retirement; Stop and denied claims neither close nor stage.
No new claim or SQL path was added. |
| Configuration continuity (`283e05ffaa`) | Real shared/project-primary
environment selection → configuration with four skill versions
reproduces `reset: true`, changed category exactly `adapterConfig`,
after a Postgres JSONB read. Pinned restoration had reordered the
generated preference while actual runtime skills stayed identical.
Replacing existing pinned rows in place preserves the original fresh
name/key order and fingerprint. The assembled regression passes, as do
three existing pinned-version/rename/alias cases and server typecheck.
Genuine model/skill-selection changes still invalidate. No
fingerprint-format change or broad compatibility exemption. |

PASS: 48 jobs plus one expected skip. Fresh review 5/5, zero unresolved
threads. Live baseline, recovered run and queued continuation all
succeeded, each accepted/published/committed once with accounting v2
settled. Their native/provider identities and configuration fingerprint
match; both recovery and continuation report no reset, no changed
categories and task-session reuse. Active outage/authentication remains
within original timing. |
| Browser-dependent continuation (`283e05ffaa`, definition 6) | **Whole
cell FAIL, preserved.** After B was killed at 00:46:38.928 and its cache
discarded, C became ready in 9,151.410 ms. `openParent()` then hit a
30-second `page.goto`/DOMContentLoaded timeout before posting the final
request. No fourth native run or C continuation was exercised. Cause of
navigation timeout is unknown. C task had no execution lock, queued
comments, handoff or recovery blocker; all three prior runs were
committed/accounted. Normal cleanup passed; independent provider
absence, controller/PG cleanup, EC2 termination and exact root-volume
absence confirmed. Sanitized report bundle SHA-256
`2a3b841d62efb2ae30ef14f96a431ac4fa7fe3a782f1144831512f78edc65022`. |
| Native API continuation qualification (`9eb9ac6f9e`, definition 7) |
**FAIL, preserved.** The real post-C API request dispatched run
`c71fbb18-f979-4fe4-93ce-9c4be46dbf21`, which failed
`native_session_interrupted` / `native_session_recovery_failed` at
01:10:00.640 UTC. It selected the same normalized native identity,
Runner and checkpoint-provider identity as the three succeeded turns. No
C result was accepted; pending accounting remains explicit. Active
recovery passed: actual offline hold 300,001.098 ms, B ready 308,335.019
ms, natural generation 2 observed 311,818 ms, authenticated 315,540 ms,

and cleanup passed are unchanged; that classifier does not establish the
root cause. All owned provider/PG/process resources, EC2, root volume

| Current required checks (`9eb9ac6f9e`) | Recursive typecheck, standard
build and exact build stamp PASS. [Normal
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41152908417)
PASS: 48 jobs plus one expected skip. Fresh Greptile 5/5, latest edited
summary checked, zero unresolved threads. Exact8/512/8,192 stream probes
again report zero recovery SQL/transactions/rows and settled-idle SQL;
seven control transactions/twelve changed rows each, with 36 separate
legitimate renewals in the longest case. CI success does not supersede
the failed live C gate. |

The completion supplement observed secondary request/liveness/checkpoint
transaction p99 increases of 23.0%/45.7%/15.6% in its single pair.
Renewal p99 stayed below 0.865 s, with 900 successful renewals per arm
and no lost leases. The named pool caps stayed 10+2+2. An aggregate
activity sample peaked at 15 non-observer entries without backend-type
classification, so no claim is made that all were client connections. No
sampled lock episodes does not establish zero lock waits.

Twelve pure reader/selector cases also pass with the new adjacent
receipt. This is not another executed process rollback. Development
reader `5cf7aead` can parse the recovery state, but its old run-detail
redactor can expose receipt IDs/outcome to an authorized run reader. The
first production release containing recovery readers, complete
attachment-identity handling and both private-field redactions is the
rollback floor. The implicit-home fix prevents new recovery-time
fingerprint drift; it does not rewrite previously stored fingerprints
from failed candidates. The development probe is not a published
supported rollback target.

Latest actual `0862062` Runner tests independently passed 8/512/8,192
text chunks with zero recovery SQL, transactions and changed rows, plus
zero settled-idle SQL. All three observed seven setup/control
transactions and twelve changed rows. The 8,192-chunk case separately
recorded 31 legitimate lease-renewal statements, with no lost lease.
These are component SQL observations, not a production CPU/WAL claim.
The new adoption and identity branches affect recovery preparation only.
The `64c0b746`, `7a203274` and exact `39a4343` CI independently passed
all three stream sizes with the same zero-SQL/idle result; each latest
8,192-chunk case recorded 36 separate renewal statements. Exact
`39a4343` Runner 2/2 passed 133 files / 2,317 tests plus two skips; its
separate native group passed 150 tests plus eight skips.

The first API fixture revision omitted the mandatory final screenshot;
this was caught before paid launch and allocated no provider/model work.
The correction captures the actual retained Chromium page with an
explicit unqualified-browser label, without changing the standard report
validator.

Automatic approval review rejected exporting raw private API/workflow
snapshots because of sensitive payloads and insufficient
destination-specific authorization. Sanitized reports and
bound/hash-only receipts are retained; raw snapshots were not copied
through another channel. This does not change the failed grade.

Repair characterization also preserves its failed attempts. An
unconditional staging relocation broke three existing same-scope
scripted cases; the final implementation defers staging only for an
actual superseded warm scope, and all nine order/race cases pass. One
baseline transform overlapped an edit and is explicitly invalid; the
actual immutable `39a4343` loader then produced the three genuine REDs.
The independent task-directory hypothesis produced a RED but was
excluded by the live shared-workspace evidence; no directory policy
change was landed. A shared-workspace fixture authorization omission was
corrected separately from the four-skill semantic RED.

Setup failures are retained separately from semantic outcomes. These
include an old host port after the owned Postgres fixture restarted and
a sandbox-denied TSX IPC pipe. The supported external-Postgres run
passed, and the final exact recursive typecheck passes with normal
process permissions. Seven stale declaration errors after the master
merge cleared after compiling the actual merged SDK/Runner TypeScript
sources. No declarations were edited by hand.

<details>
<summary>Earlier qualification measurements and failed attempts
(historical, before this repair)</summary>

**Historical blocked gate (before the repair below).** Final native
implementation is `abed921e12d543b62f57a56435419c0dafb0bc33`; current
branch head is `af9e2d157dcc349e55374ad186c9be2d6cb96bf9`. The two later
commits change only qualification fixtures, their matcher and
documentation; `server/` and `packages/` are unchanged. It includes
master through `fd008979f5794fda3d5f54151d36acd31d0de140`.

The live Daytona measurement proves five-minute active recovery,
once-only completion and accounting, but **fails retained-session
identity after the second replacement**. The saved checkpoint and
recovery metadata exist. The task-session pointer remains empty, and
ordinary admission creates new native/provider sessions. The exact
skipped publication boundary remains unproven. A useful saved-file
result alone does not satisfy retained-session continuation. This
application-path gap blocks merge independently of CI.

A separate new-master CI failure is owned by the storage workstream (fix
in #18357). No storage guard, session-identity oracle, lease/grace limit
or provider result was relaxed.

| Gate | Observed result and exact scope |
| --- | --- |
| Distinct source recovery and compatible rollback | PASS at A
`5cf7aead09a2d9c7e2f2929d761f535ef3c1d798` → B
`5ea45f8d17e33c9a62bd79982dcf0375b07733d0` → fresh B → A. Four
controller processes, natural 60-second lease expiry, absent native
projections before replacements, three succeeded/committed unique
results, one provider thread, unchanged Runner identity, and strict idle
cleanup. 177.782 seconds. |
| Immutable installed native component | PASS at installed A
`5cf7aead09a2d9c7e2f2929d761f535ef3c1d798` → installed B
`eaef0d56552c087aaa4fa68a8655282ffbd12667` → fresh B → A. Each
controller imports its contained compiled server and DB. Three unique
committed results, stable Runner/thread, no extra provider restart on
same-contract rollback, strict cleanup. 106.672 seconds. This is
compiled component proof, separate from full CLI-native application
acceptance. |
| Normal public CLI startup | PASS for B
`eaef0d56552c087aaa4fa68a8655282ffbd12667`, Node 24.22.1, darwin-arm64:
fresh external DB, 415 migrations, health ready, root HTML 200, company
POST 201 plus GET readback. The installed tree remained unchanged after
execution. |
| Five-minute component outage | Actual controller absence 300,168 ms.
Natural generation-2 claim at 407.196 seconds after crash, same provider
attempt and Runner, original run succeeded/committed. The larger
540-second case timed out before its retained follow-ups, so it is an
active-adoption pass, not a complete four-controller pass. The complete
short source/installed cases above independently cover follow-up and
rollback. |
| Drain/resume review regression | Fixed in
`226f03e736d1ee99fea1762ab32ea3a8a9241c20`. Five facade-level cases
pass: overdue normal/restart waits, future timer cancellation, another
facade resuming the original owner, and transient retry. Against exact
prior scheduler `5ea45f8d17e33c9a62bd79982dcf0375b07733d0`, four fail
and one passes. The later head changes documentation only. |
| Final corrected-fixture Daytona | **PARTIAL: active recovery PASS;
retained identity FAIL**, exact live source `0b6afc499f`. A was
SIGKILLed and native cache discarded; actual offline hold 300,000.375
ms. B was ready at 308,326.961 ms, naturally claimed generation 2 at
312,059 ms, authenticated at 315,996 ms and resumed processing at
316,519 ms, within the original 420-second boundary. The same run,
Runner PID/start, session, lease and event prefix survived; one turn
submitted. Original execution succeeded and settled accounting. After
completion, B was killed and its native cache discarded; C was ready in
9,077.779 ms. C executed the saved project and returned correct
`queue_r`, with all four runs succeeded/accounted. However, native and
true provider-session identities changed: the unchanged retained oracle
fails. No whole-workflow pass is claimed. |
| Prior matched-producer Daytona | FAILED at exact `abed921e12`. The
matching current-source Runner passed normal admission, completed the
first task and settled its accounting. During the active revision, A was
SIGKILLed and its native cache discarded. Actual offline hold was
300,000.727 ms; B was ready at 308,304 ms and naturally claimed
generation 2 at 309,651 ms. At about 318 seconds, the remote process
check reported `process_not_running` for the original admitted Runner.
No authenticated after-receipt or retained follow-up passed. The current
failure is preserved; no automatic retry, lease/grace relaxation, debt
edit or provider replay is used. Bounded forensic read found preserved
exact-bound state with no recoverable failure, a transport-reset
diagnostic and no terminal delivery; this supports external process loss
without proving the exact cause. The sandbox had a five-minute auto-stop
policy, conflicting with the required surviving-sandbox assumption.
Owned cleanup precedes the separate corrected-fixture case. |

**Live retained-session boundary.** Prior completed run `3806…` and C
follow-up `8adf1df3-6744-40bf-b35d-100451f29d9f` both have database
session snapshots and `nativeControllerRecovery`. Their tool
fingerprint, provider configuration, workspace descriptor,
runtime-context digest, driver and work mode match. There is no recorded
force-fresh/workspace-selection change, and this is an ordinary task
rather than a conversation-generation reset. The same issue/agent
task-session row has `session_params_json: null` and `last_run_id: null`
from baseline time. Both native normalized UUID and actual provider
session/thread hashes differ after C. Full application admission
therefore did not select the retained source. No fallback to file
execution or relaxed identity comparison is accepted as proof of
continuity.

**Independent cleanup completed.** Full current-account provider
inventory confirms no resources owned by either final fixture, with
exact-ID absence checks. Owned controllers and campaign Postgres are
stopped/removed. EC2 `i-01551c09af098dde5` is terminated, its
delete-on-termination root volume returned `InvalidVolume.NotFound` at
22:14:08 UTC, and the temporary SSH key/agent were removed. The
canonical failed report and immutable oracle input are retained. Closed
qualification receipt SHA-256:
`b4b5fefce287ebfdbf2cc2238efaad62d8ad485aed0e9c0628ae95dbc18a8575`.

**Original measurement and grader repair remain separate.** The C reply
contains the requested marker followed by a newline and the correct
output. The old workflow waited for one literal space, so its normal
receipt collection stalled; that original attempt was closed and its
canonical `cleanup_failure`/interrupted result is preserved. Commit
`af9e2d157d` repairs only this reply predicate, with 144 focused cases,
E2E typecheck, discovery and diff checks passing. Ordinary string
matching stays literal. The corrected predicate accepts the saved reply,
but the unchanged retained-identity oracle still fails. Pure
active-recovery grading of the captured measurement passes 7/7; this is
not a rewritten passing campaign.

The sandbox idle-window conflict was corrected only for this explicit
fixture (15 minutes). Actual baseline and later sandbox metadata confirm
that policy; the original active box was disposed before a post-gate
policy read, so its 15-minute setting is established by the normal
create/environment configuration rather than an after-read of that box.
Production native lifecycle and the 60/300/420-second constants remain
unchanged.

The development compatibility reader A is a genuine backport commit
based on `59ff89a18fe1312b5f0bb908439bbdb1237b0252`, with the required
idle-goal reader fixes. It is not a previously published release. Its
older executor differs from B. The rollback floor must include this
reader capability. The source component cases admitted the Linux ARM64
Runner packaged at `59ff89a18fe1312b5f0bb908439bbdb1237b0252`; the
installed component case admitted the `5cf7aead` package. Their Runner
bytes are identical: SHA-256
`b1f04caa1ce04e720dec7eb62ede170eb3621948c0849b8f305ea5c5116bced8`. Each
admitted artifact remained unchanged throughout its case.

[Final public package
build](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41121460635)
and [reader-floor
build](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41122170506)
both passed all four daemon builds, package assembly and both Darwin
clean consumers. Both Linux ARM consumers failed before provider work
with the same existing local Codex permission-profile error: bubblewrap
attempts `activity.fifo/.git` and reports “Not a directory.” This
matched baseline failure remains open; it is not a native remote
continuity pass. Full post-run tree and build-stamp revalidation also
passed after the compiled native case. The installed component trees are
A `c29114c1bf71c5af00f761aeb9e3d84ed3d3075b9f5600dee3ef2543eb2b6ec5` and
B `eda575505373a3bdc630fa4919862b359791fe3a7ef637961a25b73b38efe4b0`.

**Controlled PostgreSQL qualification passed.**
Baseline/candidate/candidate/baseline workloads used 300 controllers,
10,000 historical tasks, real snapshot/encrypted PRP writes and
unchanged pools. PostgreSQL and client were each limited to two CPUs and
1536 MiB on an isolated eight-vCPU Linux host.

| Workload | PG CPU per operation | WAL per operation | Database request
p99 |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Steady | +1.18% | +1.81% | +1.91% |
| Aligned burst | +3.40% | +2.56% | +3.81% |
| Two logical servers | +3.11% | +2.56% | +9.68% |

All arms passed absolute/correctness gates with unchanged control
transaction counts, no dropped operations and no owner loss. Overlap p99
has little margin below the relative threshold. It uses two clients in
one Node process, not two HTTP servers. [Closed measurements and
limitations](doc/plans/2026-10-30-native-controller-qualification-evidence.json)
and exact-source reproduction patches are retained. [Earlier
contended-host
failures](doc/plans/2026-10-30-native-controller-load-evidence.json)
remain unchanged. The production DB-claim probe claimed 300 owners in
2.84 seconds and restored/committed controls and snapshots in 8.74
seconds, with zero owner loss or settled-idle SQL; its provider
references were synthetic. The measured checkpoint/snapshot/renewal
paths retain the same persistence behavior after integration; later
accounting and business writes have separate owners.

Actual Runner stream tests at `da8c7f6e1837ddd896dfe83a7524812fee813487`
passed 8/512/8,192 chunks: zero recovery SQL, transactions and changed
rows during text intervals; zero settled-idle SQL. Each retained seven
control transactions and twelve changed records. Existing renewal SQL
was measured separately. The guard/scheduler fixes add no stream path,
pool or recurring idle scan.

The live fixture used current-source producer SHA-256
`f0000c90cb83880191479da639201e659aa6ce0fc7d67c859faa172ec977849e`, a
normal locked exact-head build with pinned Rust 1.97.1 in Bookworm.
Actual network-isolated, read-only ABI execution passed (GLIBC
requirement 2.34 against runtime 2.36). The immutable base image
remained
`ghcr.io/paperclipai/paperclip-daytona-runner@sha256:36069788f53c51f228764fa36180575443dfb5d1f84a342d7c0daceb28dc61cc`,
source `a0ef3ce7`. This was an unpublished development producer,
explicitly distinct from the base image and admitted before the fresh
fixture began. The earlier host build failed ABI preflight before
admission. The preceding old-producer fixture completed its initial task
but lacked the usage-basis marker required by current master; it
remained pending/unpriced and correctly paused. It was independently
cleaned without debt or budget changes. Two preceding local Linux setup
attempts OOM-killed before provider allocation, and their cleanup
passed. These attempts remain separate from the final recovery failure.

**Failures retained and resolved separately.** The earlier `98f05fc`
probe rejected a valid settled PRP v2 goal suffix; `eaef0d5` fixed that
reader and the fresh follow-up passed. Later component cleanup failures
were traced by a scoped exception observer to the fixture adapter
rejecting directory downloads. A bounded owned-directory transfer with
exact-byte/mode preflight corrected the fixture; source and installed
strict-cleanup cases then passed. No production guard was relaxed. The
initial local integrated control-port run hit its 30-second embedded
Postgres startup hook before executing 59 cases; 18 other focused cases
passed. A bounded rerun used a fresh owned external Postgres fixture,
applied normal migrations before Vitest, and passed all 59 cases with
the original timeouts unchanged. Its container and data were removed;
the failed attempt remains retained.

The additional opt-in full Product E2E Vitest run is not green: 5,313
passed, seven failed and three skipped. An actual `abed921e12` archive
with the same dependencies, Node and IPC permissions reproduces all
seven failures with the same reasons. Five are unchanged
workflow-policy/profile-pin assertions, including Pi profile version 37
versus the test pin 35. Two database suites failed during embedded
Postgres startup before their assertions; semaphore exhaustion is
confirmed in the observer log. The observer passes its supported
external-Postgres rerun with original timeouts and source unchanged. The
controller-database client-kill/postmaster assertions remain unexecuted
after `initdb` bootstrap failure; no external override is supported. The
unit launcher stopped before its Node-test phase, which was then run
independently and passed 181/181. The original failed full run is
preserved. These results remain distinct from the passing focused checks
and normal repository CI. The first local Product E2E typecheck also
encountered stale compiled Runner declarations; a genuine package-local
TypeScript compile refreshed them and the unchanged check passed,
without a dependency install or producer rebuild.

Earlier [Daytona campaign
41108162900](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41108162900)
failed at sandbox creation before any agent, with the underlying
provider error unavailable. Its [sanitized
report](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-41108162900-2/index.html)
remains a `cleanup_failure`. Both old creation names are absent in the
current authenticated account, but the old CI account identity was not
retained, so account equivalence is unproven. The subsequent exact
`eaef0d5` source Product E2E attempt passed image/agent setup and the
initial project, then held the controller offline for 300,003.7 ms. Its
Mac supervisor failed owned-process inspection before B readiness; no
adoption passed. Full current-company lease/label checks, provider
deletion, exact-ID 404s and complete inventory confirmed cleanup of that
attempt. Its local server and owned Postgres stopped. The prior AWS
campaigns and database qualification VM were terminated with root
volumes removed.

The old admitted test Runner lacks the newer usage-basis marker
introduced on master. The integrated component B turns retained
unpriced, incomplete accounting obligations with `costAccountingPending:
true` and no settled charge. The compatibility-reader A turn used its
legacy receipt interpretation but likewise retained pending accounting
and no settlement timestamp. This proves obligation preservation, not a
whole-run accounting migration. Runner/receiver release ordering remains
governed by the usage owner's contract.

At native implementation `abed921e12d543b62f57a56435419c0dafb0bc33`,
Greptile was 5/5 with zero unresolved threads and CI completed with 54
successful checks and five expected skips. At `0b6afc499f`, Greptile
again passed 5/5 with zero unresolved threads, but CI ended with 51
successful checks, five skips and three failures. Server 9/12 fails a
deterministic managed-skills maintenance assertion newly inherited from
master `198218bf` in merge `c80e00ad`; that test is absent from the PR
head, and the storage owner has the explicit-StorageService fix in
#18357. Runner 2/2 passed 2,283 unit cases but its runner received a
shutdown signal during the long stream probe; its cancelled step and
aggregate failure are preserved. No blind retry was used. Current
`af9e2d157d` checks are pending; the matcher-only change passes 144
focused cases and Product E2E typecheck. Earlier scheduling-sensitive CI
failures and the interrupted unsharded local test run remain recorded in
the dated plan. CI runs the repository's normal test partitions. Final
verification does not claim Railway rollout, uninterrupted HTTP service
or whole-webserver filesystem loss.

## Risks

- The task-pointer repair passes its assembled regression. The first
live repair exposed pre-acceptance ordering and the fresh review exposed
a replay lock-order issue; both are fixed and pass real Postgres tests
at `0862062`. The following live attempt exposed the
verified-running-versus-suspended preparation gate. Its narrow fix
passes 91 focused cases at `64c0b746`. The next live case exposed
synthetic attachment IDs; `7a203274` fixes that field selection and
passes real Runner authentication. The subsequent queued continuation
exposed strict retirement maintenance and a false default-home change;
`39a4343` fixes both with real Runner/Postgres and fingerprint
regressions. The `39a4343` live continuation failed again despite green
CI. `283e05ffaa` repairs the actual native-observed admission ordering
and reproduces/fixes the JSONB skill-order fingerprint drift. Both pass
targeted real-Postgres regressions and the live active plus queued
paths. The definition 6 post-C browser navigation timed out before
admission. Explicit definition 7 now verifies native continuation
through the ordinary comment API; its strict post-C native gate failed
after a real dispatch and remains historical failed evidence. The final
fc68584 repair now passes its fresh strict 49-check Linux/Daytona
campaign; the prior failed grades remain unchanged. Browser reconnection
is handed to its own workstream with the original failed evidence. No
prior failed campaign is reclassified as passing.
- Incorrect checkpoint/source binding or stale ownership could duplicate
external work. Missing evidence remains a hold; existing receipt and
finalization owners keep uncertain effects unresolved.
- Recovery must retain maintenance writes after accepted results without
allowing a stale business turn to write. Real lock-wait and generation
tests cover that boundary.
- The current two-connection paired burst profile fails its absolute
drain gate in both baseline and candidate, despite passing relative load
gates and all correctness checks. A causal capacity diagnostic selected
three slots; the final controlled cap-three profiles pass unchanged
thresholds. Full application replacement and two-server overlap capacity
remain separate. There is no new streaming writer, pool or recurring
idle scan.
- The remote sandbox and Runner must survive the recovery window.
Provider auto-stop is a separate lifetime bound from reconnect grace;
the explicit qualification fixture uses a longer idle window.
- Workspace and provider backup availability remain external
dependencies. This PR does not certify whole-webserver filesystem loss,
uninterrupted HTTP service or a Railway rollout.

## Model Used

Implementation and initial verification used OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex;
the initial hosted snapshot was not exposed. The follow-up qualification
used three OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` workers coordinated through Codex, with
repository tools, code execution, CI and scoped test infrastructure.
Context-window size is not exposed.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 6174b4d7c8 fix(runner): allow session reset after confirmed task retirement (#18373)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Native warm sessions retain a Runner owner between turns.
> - Closing that owner must stop execution and preserve valid recovery
state.
> - A failed suspension can leave a rejected close promise after the
task has stopped.
> - A session reset then retries that same promise and blocks every
fresh session.
> - This PR separates task retirement proof from checkpoint reuse for a
new session.
> - A reset can proceed after exact stop proof, completed handoff, and
file collection.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18011. That change preserves checkpoint authority during warm
preparation. This change handles a stopped owner whose checkpoint cannot
be reused. Related: #14695 covers managed files retained with warm
processes. A search found no duplicate stopped-owner reset fix.

**What happened?**

A warm Runner can stop and complete its task handoff while close reports
`runner did not durably suspend before checkpoint`. The transport caches
that rejected close promise. Core retains the warm owner. Each session
reset retries the same promise before it can launch a provider. A
controller restart clears the in-memory owner and permits recovery.

**Expected behavior**

A reset to a new normalized session should release the old owner when
its exact task has proved that execution stopped and its handoff
completed. Core must collect stopped instruction files before it admits
the new session. An unconfirmed owner must continue to block
replacement.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Complete a warm native run through a plugin task provider.
2. Change configuration so Core retires the warm owner.
3. Let the task stop and complete, but fail durable suspension proof.
Close keeps its rejected promise.
4. Reset the session and start another run on the same task environment.
5. Observe the old close error before any new provider work starts.

## What Changed

- Keep a lease-bound retirement receipt in the plugin task owner. It
requires `executionStopped: true` and successful task completion after
credential handoff.
- Accept an unrecoverable suspension error only during retirement for a
different normalized session, with that exact owner's receipt and
settled Core tool results.
- Collect stopped instruction files before releasing the warm owner.
Preserve old checkpoint evidence.
- Keep same-session, active-owner, incomplete-handoff, unrelated-owner,
unresolved Core tool results, and other close-error fences.
- Report Core tool settlement on the close error after ingress
retirement and drain. Default missing proof to false. Expose the error
through the server's Runner shim. Add regression tests and document the
recovery boundary.

## Verification

- The reset regression fails with the new handling disabled and passes
with it enabled.
- Both affected suites passed: 1,032 tests. The final 15 focused
owner/reset cases pass after adding the tool-settlement guard.
- The assembled regression uses the real task-owner and backend binding.
Its controlled task provider proves stop and completion. Close returns
the same rejected promise on every call.
- Negative cases cover incomplete handoff, other close errors,
same-session continuation, provider change with the same session ID,
unrelated receipts, unresolved Core tool results, and failed file
collection. Collection can later succeed without replaying stop or
reading the old checkpoint.
- Five real-process transport cases pass. They cover an insufficient
suspension deadline, the cached rejected promise, late tool completion
within and beyond the deadline, interruption, and result-persistence
failure. Unsettled callbacks produce `semanticToolsSettled: false`.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed with the repository's pinned Rust toolchain
on PATH. After the final contract change, Runner TypeScript build and
server `tsc --noEmit` passed.
- The local full-suite run was stopped at the requester's direction.
Full regression and build coverage are delegated to GitHub CI.
- Full GitHub CI passed on `ef0040d80af679ce6d4a130468e15f75678c1f4c`.
Standard Greptile reviewed the same commit: 5/5, zero comments. Apex
then reviewed that same commit: 5/5, zero comments. Final checks confirm
no unresolved review threads and no merge conflicts.
- Initial full CI on `00c002fd5a` failed one scheduled-retry route test
at 18/20 cancellations. Controlled cancellation latency reproduced the
short poll-budget failure. Before the next cycle, master advanced with
#18322, which coordinates that test at the first completed batch. The
separate local timeout commit was dropped during rebase. The upstream
test passes locally. The rebased run passed 46 targeted owner/reset and
scheduled-retry route cases. This PR has no scheduled-retry source or
test diff.
- No deployed provider run or tenant rollout is claimed by these source
tests.

## Risks

The exception applies only to a new normalized session and an exact
completed plugin task. The old checkpoint remains evidence and cannot
authorize reuse through this path. The original suspension failure can
remain visible on its run. This fix prevents repeated startup failures
after a reset; it does not hide unconfirmed cleanup or make every
suspension succeed. Missing task receipts and failed file collection
continue to block replacement. No schema migration, plugin protocol
change, Rust Runner binary change, or new polling is required. Tests use
a controlled task boundary; they do not certify every external provider
implementation.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with tool use and local code execution. The
exact runtime model ID and context-window size are not exposed in this
session.

DottaandPaperclip 61bd4ac691 feat(agents): set up Antigravity with saved Google subscriptions (#18189)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents and their work.
> - Users choose providers and managed accounts while adding agents.
> - Antigravity was missing from the ordinary additional-agent picker
and its saved Google path did not complete native readiness.
> - A user needs a successful Test, an enabled task action, and a stable
account binding.
> - This pull request connects the ordinary setup flow to the native
candidate.
> - It also preserves retired credential refreshes across database
failures and server restarts.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Built on merged #18188 and #18187. Refs: #12503, #14938 for related
legacy CLI proposals.

**Agent or provider**

Google Antigravity ACP 1.4.3.

**Why this adapter is useful**

Users need to set up an Antigravity agent and run real work through
their managed Google subscription.

**How the agent is invoked**

Native Paperclip Runner uses the pinned Antigravity ACP runtime. Exact
operator admission remains required; the local candidate result does not
enable general release.

## What Changed

- Show Google Antigravity in the ordinary adapter grid and preserve the
draft choice when setup resumes.
- Reuse the same user’s saved personal default Google subscription and
discover the exact low model through the native account.
- Run a prompt-free native Test and wait for authoritative readiness
before enabling task assignment.
- Carry the managed account through native runs and recover retired
refreshes through the existing encrypted, fsynced journal with exact
generation checks.
- Retain the latest rotated credential through verification, storage,
and partial home-removal failures. Retry the exact account’s retained
cleanup before another provider use.
- Reconcile cleanup before taking the credential mutation lock, fence
owners arriving during lock acquisition, and support nested lock holders
without a join cycle.
- Bound sign-in retirement outside database transactions and preserve
claims for the existing cleanup owner; one pending sign-in does not
block unrelated accounts.
- Cover Gemini and Pi API-key recovery, keep API-key bulk manual-model
editing usable, and keep adapter discovery available after candidate
expiry.
- Skip taskless native timer work before run or credential admission.
Preserve current master monitor and deadline scheduling.

## Verification

- The registered local saved-Google-subscription journey passed all 16
matchers in 196,520 ms using eval source `12aba` against actual serving
source `4a37ee7c`. Both turns stayed in one conversation, produced exact
downloaded files of 61 and 119 bytes after reload, and used distinct
native primary processes. All observed owners retired, leases released,
and credential fences settled. Independent readback confirmed Done work,
no active owned runs, a connected saved account, and the retained agent
paused for inspection.
- The measured runtime is production-equivalent to pre-restack
`65ef31dc` except its test-only transport fixture correction.
Current-master head `ff7c9249` preserves all 99 product paths: 98 exact
blobs and only eight inherited plugin-panel lines in `agents.ts`. Its
native binary was rebuilt for inherited Codex-only diagnostic changes;
the changed Rust behavior is outside Antigravity's ACPX execution path.
Shared native/UI changes have focused regression coverage. The recorded
live result is not represented as a measured replay of `ff7c9249`.
- Full workspace build and typecheck passed on `ff7c9249`. All 376
focused tests in 14 files passed, covering Google credential/retirement
controls and the inherited native-tool, redaction, route, and UI
recovery changes. Token gates, maps, and diff checks passed. The
required-close fixture was separately demonstrated red, then passed all
317 selected provider-wiring cases.
- [Current-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40959387972)
is green: 55 successful checks, two skipped workflow checks, and an
optional neutral review check. Required `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e`
passed. Greptile and Paperclip Review both report 5/5 on exact
`ff7c9249`, with zero unresolved review threads.
- This qualifies the selected operator-authorized local
saved-subscription candidate. The original exploratory journey remains
historical evidence; the repeatable fixed-driver eval is in the next PR.

## Risks

- Google refresh recovery must preserve the exact grant, account, and
credential generation. An uncertain native owner or failed encrypted
handoff retains the private home and blocks cleanup.
- A successful local saved-subscription candidate does not qualify fresh
OAuth, API keys, Cloud, Linux, other models, or general release.
- Timer filtering changes only taskless native Runner admissions.
Existing task-bound monitors and legacy adapters retain their owners.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex (GPT-6). The host did not expose the exact model revision
or context limit. The model used tools for code edits, tests, and
review.

DottaandPaperclip f8484a9f8d fix(native): deliver selected skills to remote Codex homes (#18080)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip coordinates company agents and preserves their assigned
instructions and approval rules.
> - Native runs pin an immutable skill inventory for each execution.
> - Built-in remote Codex launches prepare that inventory on the
controller, but transfer only authentication, configuration, and the
separate context assets.
> - Codex needs the selected skills under its isolated home. An explicit
skill path does not load a skill outside its registered discovery roots.
> - This pull request transfers the sealed selected inventory to the
path already used by explicit skill inputs.
> - Each launch replaces stale assignments inside the authorized
workspace while preserving provider history.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18025. The corrected first-task instructions exist in the selected
bundle, but remote Codex must receive those bytes before it can follow
them. The legacy skill resolver work in #16646 and #9323 uses different
paths and does not repair native remote launch staging.

**What happened?**

A fresh remote native Codex run could not read its assigned first-task
skill. It produced an approval question instead of the required
confirmation. The Product E2E journey correctly rejected that question
before child creation.

**Expected behavior**

Codex receives the selected immutable skill at the same provider-local
discovery path used by explicit skill input. Removed or unassigned
skills do not remain available after a new launch.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Prepare an isolated Codex home with one assigned skill.
2. Run the built-in remote launch staging path against a fresh remote
filesystem.
3. Resolve an explicit invocation of that skill. Before the repair, its
provider-local file is missing.

## What Changed

- Transfer only the prepared selected skill inventory into the isolated
remote Codex home before other launch writes.
- Reject writable files, symlinks, missing entries, and extra unassigned
packages in the controller projection.
- Validate each provider-home path component below the authorized
workspace. Reject redirected retained paths before deleting stale
skills.
- Create the private discovery root before native sandbox transfers,
which omit the source-root metadata and can ignore the requested
directory mode.
- Replace stale or empty inventories without changing provider
conversation history, preconfigured homes, other providers, or
plugin-provided launch preparation.
- Exercise the real home materializer and turn resolver through the
existing test-only Runner surface. Document the remote discovery
contract.
- Synchronize an existing Telegram attachment-failure test with the
durable provider-effect commit, preserving its required final states.
This CI repair is a separate test-only commit.

## Verification

- The new production-staging regression failed before the repair because
the resolved skill file was absent.
- All 23 focused staging checks pass. They cover delivery, file modes,
empty/revoked inventories, history retention, extra packages, writable
files, source symlinks, target symlinks, redirected ancestors on
sandbox/SSH, and an authorized workspace alias. The filesystem fixture
packs and extracts actual tar bytes without applying the requested root
mode; it preserves exact projected-file digests and executable bits.
- The unchanged materializer and prepared-launch contracts passed 26
tests. Eight selected native caller checks passed; other cases in that
filtered run were not selected.
- Independent probes used official Codex 0.160.0, the real materializer,
production staging, the real resolver, and a local model endpoint. The
original staging supplied no skill message. The final staging supplied
the complete selected skill body with its exact SHA-256. A final probe
also ran production Daytona `performSyncIn`, backing only its SDK
exec/upload/chmod edge with the local filesystem under umask `022`: the
pre-review source reproduced root `0755`, and the final source retained
root `0700`, package `0555`, file `0444`, and the exact selected digest.
All model requests returned local 403; there were no upstream requests
or credentials.
- Full local `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed on verification
commit `e7d4e7a9`, based on `60b8089a`. The full local `pnpm test:run`
on that frozen tree was not completed: later embedded PostgreSQL startup
failed because the host could not allocate semaphore sets (`semget`,
SEMMNI/SEMMNS), and the owned attempt was stopped with its log
preserved. Its earlier four caller-fixture failures and one
workspace-conflict failure are recorded separately below; the later
resource error is not an explanation for them. Delivery commit
`567d838d` replayed the initial six-file patch onto `ee67d2ec`;
production was last changed in `23456f51`, followed by test-only commits
`002fa4a7` and `6e8fa595`. All 24 staging checks, all 26
materializer/prepared-launch checks, and the complete native executor
file (968 tests, zero skipped) pass locally. Server typecheck also
passed after these test edits. The complete CI matrix passed on
`002fa4a7`; current-head CI is tracked separately.
- Initial-head CI exposed four caller fixtures that manually wrote
auth/config without preparing the skills inventory. The same four
failures reproduced locally. Those fixtures now use the real home
preparer for their existing empty inventory and assert its transfer; all
34 retained/replacement scenarios and the complete 966-test caller file
pass. A sandboxed full-file attempt could not bind local PostgreSQL
(`EPERM`); it was stopped with its log preserved, then the identical
command passed with local fixture access. Initial-head CI also recorded
timeouts in workspace recovery, approval-queue backoff, and heartbeat
attribution. Their three complete files pass unchanged locally (102
tests); the next CI head also passed those cases. The original slowdown
remains unexplained. The consequent approval cleanup foreign-key failure
is a timeout teardown race already recorded in the owning worker
documentation.
- The frozen full local run also observed an existing workspace-conflict
test fail. The test and owning workspace code are unchanged between the
verification and delivery trees, and the isolated delivery case passes.
The original failure remains unresolved: stopping the later
resource-blocked run prevented the final assertion detail from being
emitted. That isolated pass does not replace the earlier result.
- CI on `23456f51` caught a Telegram test reading
`provider_effect=processing` after observing the provider mock call.
Production commits `processed` later, so the test now waits for the
unchanged complete durable-state assertion. All 18 selected Telegram
attachment/media cases pass (the other 1,670 cases were not selected).
The same CI attempt also recorded an E2E runner shutdown followed by
cancellation, without a failed Playwright assertion; the necessary new
test-only head reruns the matrix. Earlier failures remain preserved and
are not reported as passes.
- Review requested an executor-level preconfigured-home negative test.
Retained and replacement workspace cases now drive the actual launcher,
assert successful context staging, and exclude the isolated home's
skills/auth/config transfers. A counterfactual that removes only the
executor exclusion makes both tests fail; the exact production bytes
were restored before the complete 968-test pass. Flat and nested
selected package delivery is also covered. Optional arbitrary
remote-stderr expansion is deferred; the repair keeps the existing
closed error code and report surface.
- Final head `6e8fa595` passes the complete CI matrix, including
typecheck, build, Runner, browser, and aggregate gates. Two
first-attempt jobs were interrupted by runner shutdown/lost
communication; one unchanged-head rerun of those jobs and their
aggregates passed. The underlying host interruption cause remains
unknown. Both current-head automated reviews are 5/5 with the
implemented finding resolved.
- The original checked-in lockfile fails a fresh frozen install on the
baseline. The repository's maintained resolution-then-frozen sequence
passes. No lockfile change is included.
- Independent source review found and then verified the
retained-ancestor guard. This PR does not claim that the full live Cloud
onboarding campaign has passed. It changes no journey assertion or
approval gate.

## Risks

Launch preparation adds an asynchronous inventory walk, one bounded
remote cleanup command, and one transfer of the selected skill tree.
Those costs grow with selected files and bytes and occur only at
provider launch. A failed validation, cleanup, or transfer prevents
launch. Remote Node is already required by the shared SSH/sandbox
launcher. The selected packages remain read-only; the private discovery
root retains Codex's normal writable mode. No database, API,
credential-routing, or deployment change is included.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex based on GPT-6, with reasoning, source inspection, tool
use, and code execution. The host does not expose the exact serving
model ID or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 567c043b17 feat(server): expose bounded hot-upgrade readiness (#18037)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip coordinates agent work and keeps its authority in the
server.
> - Remote native runners can preserve execution through a server
replacement.
> - Deployment operators need evidence that current runs support that
recovery.
> - Process-local drain counters do not establish this fact.
> - This PR adds an optional, operator-only readiness observation from
existing records.
> - A deployment consumer can use that report while the existing runtime
retains recovery authority.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17439.

**What happened?**

A deployment cannot distinguish recoverable remote native executions
from runs that require a task drain. The existing status endpoint
reports only process-local counts.

**Expected behavior**

An instance operator can request a bounded readiness report without
stopping admission or exposing checkpoint material. Missing ownership or
persistence evidence must prevent readiness. Ordinary status reads must
keep their current cost.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run a remote native task. Read the task-drain status. It reports active
work but supplies no recovery eligibility. Deployment code therefore has
no affirmative signal to select an active-run handover.

## What Changed

- Add `GET /api/instance/task-drain?upgradeReadiness=1` for instance
administrators and existing Cloud control callers.
- Return aggregate eligibility from current run identities, controller
leases and bound opaque checkpoint headers. Unknown work, pending
admission and incomplete reads prevent a positive report.
- Bound the explicit read to 1,001 rows, encrypted headers of at most
256 KiB each and 8 MiB total, and a two-second SQL statement timeout in
a read-only transaction. Keep ordinary status reads in memory.
- Add PostgreSQL, count-transition and route authorization tests. Update
the API contract, operator docs and access maps.

## Verification

- All seven readiness cases pass against an isolated PostgreSQL 18
fixture. They cover missing checkpoints, legacy adapters, missing
process/session identities, foreign owners, expired leases, missing
lease tokens, failure state and in-flight work. The positive SQL fixture
uses the real Runner checkpoint writer and encryption. Regular sandbox
workspace identity and plugin environment-lease identity are tested with
independent IDs. Stopped/released/undispatched plugin tasks and every
mismatched identity field are rejected. Local/legacy/malformed/oversized
or mismatched headers are rejected. A held PostgreSQL table lock proves
the two-second cancellation budget, rollback/connection release and
unrelated query responsiveness.
- All 123 focused readiness, instance-settings and Cloud control
assertion tests pass, including operator-only access and no readiness
read on ordinary status requests. Runner’s 168 checkpoint tests pass.
Runner and server typechecks pass after review fixes.
- Workspace typecheck, full build, module-boundary and map checks passed
locally before the master rebase. Current-head GitHub CI is now green,
including typecheck, build, all grouped/serialized server and Runner
tests, browser shards, policy and review-dispatch checks. Greptile
completed cleanly at 5/5 for `f15fb0c7e9dfb975090cd5d791a1c8e6701275f8`;
all actionable threads are resolved.
- The broad local test run was stopped after the macOS embedded
PostgreSQL fixture failed to bootstrap. The SQL test was then run on the
isolated PostgreSQL fixture. No assertion or timeout was weakened. One
unrelated existing route test exceeded its 15-second limit under
concurrent local builds; it passed on one isolated retry and the
subsequent whole route suite passed.
- Hosted active-run upgrade acceptance has not run. This PR supplies an
observation; it does not change rollout policy or establish live
continuity by itself.

## Risks

This is an instance-wide observation, so company members and agent keys
must not receive it. A readiness snapshot can age as work changes;
shutdown and startup retain their existing execution authority and
fencing. The report does not validate a replacement artifact or
authorize a schema migration. It decrypts only bounded headers through
the checkpoint owner and delegates format/identity inspection to Runner;
full journal restoration and physical sandbox authentication remain with
recovery. No migration, recurring query, new checkpoint write or wire
protocol change is included. The additive Runner header inspection
contract reuses its existing parser.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, source inspection, tool
use and code execution. The host does not expose the exact serving model
ID or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 09ad9adce2 feat(server): adopt running remote agents through durable controller checkpoints (#17439)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip must keep admitted remote work alive while its main server
is replaced.
> - Runner owns recovery mechanics and exposes opaque checkpoints
through #17097.
> - The server owns company scope, encryption, Stop, tool authority and
execution ownership.
> - A successor must prove current ownership before it adopts the
original execution.
> - Checkpoint bursts must also leave capacity for normal requests and
lease renewal.
> - This PR persists and adopts that authority through the existing
runtime boundaries.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Remote agents retain the original execution during a bounded main-server
outage.

**Current behavior**

A server restart can lose the controller's local state and connection.
An unsafe replacement could repeat a turn or an uncertain mutation.
Checkpoint writes in the request pool can also delay ordinary requests
during an aligned burst.

**Proposed behavior**

Restore encrypted control records from Postgres and adopt the original
runner under a fenced lease. Recover known tool receipts through current
tool authority. Give control checkpoints a shared pool capped at two
connections per database owner.

Depends on #17097. Successors are #17455 and #17456. Qualification and
presentation remain separate review slices.

## What Changed

- Add company/run-bound encrypted checkpoint records and migration 0394.
Keep the SQL idempotent after renumbering against current master.
- Recover startup and expired ownership through native runtime and
heartbeat. Preserve the sandbox lease, admitted runner artifact, harness
configuration, native session and active turn.
- Keep Stop, finalization, preparation ownership and stale-writer
fencing transactional. Preserve graceful detach and natural crash
takeover.
- Recover committed tool receipts through the existing authority.
Reauthorize reads and hold uncertain mutations.
- Bound startup retention with the existing coordinator and preserve
zero idle scans.
- Share at most two checkpoint connections per database client. Keep
application and liveness capacity separate. Close the checkpoint pool
during shutdown; late writes cannot reopen it.
- Count SQL across both application and checkpoint clients. Prove
request/liveness progress, command recovery and failure after pool
shutdown with real Postgres.

## Verification

Project creation recovery now uses the existing project activity receipt
owner. It retains authenticated input normalization, fingerprint checks
and current run authority after the receipt lock. An absent receipt
returns no result before mutation. The new lost-HTTP-response and
no-effect regression uses real API routes and Postgres. The seven
transport cases pass locally. This Mac skips all 20 database cases. On
current source `5de803c2cd`, Linux [job
122593415890](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40620576702/job/122593415890)
executes all 20 project-tool cases successfully (9.480 seconds),
including the committed-project lost-response regression. Its shard
passes 1,627 cases with three unrelated skips. Server typecheck passes.
The transport regression initially has two failures; a subsequent
incorrect expectation about schema defaults was corrected before the
final pass. Ordinary execution adds no checkpoint writes or recurring
work.

Current candidate `5de803c2cd` includes the project-creation receipt
recovery fix and master `2cd747d1b6`. Migration 0394 retains the prior
idempotent checkpoint DDL. Every master SQL file and journal entry is
preserved. Snapshots 0390–0394, migration checks and server typecheck
pass.

The ordinary warm-turn regression fails on its second turn before
`a219ab51ad`. After correction, three completed warm turns select the
correct prior checkpoint and preserve the original session. All 288
provider-wiring cases pass. The control plane, external persistence
callback, identity rotation and filesystem are real; the backend and
database-load seam are scripted. The 13 warm admission/configuration
variants also pass after final master integration. This does not qualify
an underlying harness.

At current source `5de803c2cd`, Linux [job
122593415907](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40620576702/job/122593415907)
passes all 940 native-session-executor cases (61.431 seconds), including
the warm external-checkpoint behavior; the shard passes 2,358 cases with
one skip. Current [Runner job
122593415475](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40620576702/job/122593415475)
passes the native recovery lane: 115 passes and five container-only
skips, including the encrypted restore guard, fresh preparation (63.189
seconds), blocked claim lock (1.226 seconds) and recovery beyond 101
blocked owners (3.897 seconds). The first lane passes 2,215 cases with
one skip. The SQL cost test reports zero idle and streaming SQL for both
output volumes; this is component evidence, not a production capacity
claim. At prior candidate `1ff7bb44f4`, Linux job 122549307215 passes
all 938 native-executor cases, including the three-turn
external-checkpoint regression. Job 122549306469 passes the native
recovery lane with 115 passes and five container-only skips, including
the encrypted-restore session guard, fresh preparation (63.664 seconds),
claim-lock contention (3.961 seconds), and 101-owner recovery (3.824
seconds). This Mac skips the real-Postgres suite. The earlier full local
executor attempt has 921 passes and 16 failures during embedded-Postgres
initialization before assertions. The original fixture collisions and
their corrections remain recorded.

At earlier candidate `8fbe62b41d`, server shard job 122535673841 has
3,876 passes, one failure and one skip in an unchanged expiry-worker
retry/drain timing test. The same server/database tree on qualification
source `b64cac6951` passes all 20 expiry cases and all 3,877 shard
cases. The single diagnostic retry, job 122541891915, passes all 20
expiry cases and all 3,877 shard cases (one skip). No assertion was
weakened. The original failure remains recorded and its exact timing
race is not proven. All Actions checks and legacy status passed on
`8fbe62b41d`, with completed Greptile 5/5 and no open feedback. The next
candidate `1ff7bb44f4` also passed all Actions checks and Greptile 5/5.
Its Paperclip Review remained queued before the new master conflict
required integration. The new candidate needs fresh exact-head CI and
reviews; old checks do not qualify it. Migration generation is
checkpoint-only, all master SQL and journal entries remain unchanged,
and migration checks, server typecheck and all 13 warm-owner variants
pass after integration. The first migration check was blocked by TSX
sandbox IPC; its permitted repeat passes. The first warm-test command
used an incorrect path and ran no tests; the corrected command supplies
the 13-case receipt.

All 16 database pool-lifetime/options/teardown cases pass after granting
loopback permission; the first batch had two EPERM failures and 14
passes. Earlier semantic-tool/HTTP recovery, adoption, encryption-batch,
zero-streaming-write and idle-SQL receipts remain source-attributed in
the [qualification
record](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/2ff66f57da0da35bac1c19a2366ea4b84d87a986/doc/plans/2026-10-22-hot-upgrade-qualification.md).
That record retains earlier assertion, setup and cleanup failures and
their corrections. No failed gate is waived.

The historical 300-session component campaign passes four after phases:
steady read p99 is 107–108 ms at 500 reads/s and 100 writes/s;
aligned-burst read p99 is 103–105 ms after the bounded pool, versus
584–689 ms before. This comparison isolates the persistence corrections.
It does not measure the final stack's hosted active-agent capacity. The
hosted zero-agent API pair leaves SQL and CPU essentially unchanged, but
both arms fail absolute latency gates and candidate peak cgroup memory
fails its gate. The active-agent/viewer matrix, different-artifact
upgrade and rollback remain open.

Run `PAPERCLIP_TEST_DATABASE_URL=<owned-disposable-postgres> pnpm
--filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts`.

Previous head `f2db8a6568` had one failed workspace setup gate: [job
122555672441](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40608984238/job/122555672441)
passes all 4,169 UI tests and 285 CLI cases (one skip), but the company
import/export suite reaches its 30-second health deadline during doctor
startup. Its output does not reach the server-start step. The CLI,
server, database, shared, adapter and plugin trees are identical on
qualification source `a866619d7b`, whose [job
122555886663](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40609057937/job/122555886663)
passes that fixture and all 286 CLI cases. The one diagnostic retry,
[job
122561057225](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40608984238/job/122561057225),
passes the formerly failing fixture and all 286 CLI cases. All Actions
checks and legacy status on `f2db8a6568` pass. Its exact-head Greptile
completed at 5/5 with no open feedback. The current integrated head
requires fresh checks and a completed Paperclip Review before merge. The
original failure remains recorded; its exact timing cause is unproven. A
repeated failure requires investigation and repair rather than another
retry.

All current-head CI, legacy status, exact-head completed Greptile 5/5,
resolved feedback and ordinary GitHub merge eligibility remain required
before merge.

The latest integration preserves master’s published Copilot v70 profiles
and every published migration. Checkpoint migration
`0394_conscious_whizzer.sql` was generated with `pnpm db:generate` and
retains the prior idempotent DDL. The Runner vendor rebuild and replay
parity checks pass. Server typecheck and all 13 warm-owner variants pass
after that rebuild. The imported report-lock patch is byte-identical to
master; its intentional patch-context whitespace is retained, and the
feature delta passes whitespace checks. No hosted experiment was run.

## Risks

The pool adds up to two active connections per instance, shared across
agents. Checkpoint delivery can wait behind that bound; it still
requires its commit. Steady component-test Postgres CPU rises by about
1.7 percentage points of a two-CPU allocation. These corrections do not
remove the stack's control and renewal writes. The migration and key
must survive replacement. Fresh-database tests and local load do not
establish different-artifact hosted upgrade or rollback continuity.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository tools and code
execution. The runtime does not expose a more specific model ID or
context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip f60ac29cf1 fix(runner): migrate Grok Build with native reasoning effort (#17922)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Harness selection maps supported agents to Paperclip Runner.
> - The native Runner already supports Grok Build, but its migration
mapping excludes Grok.
> - Grok agents also have a thinking-effort setting that the native
execution contract does not carry.
> - This pull request adds the migration path and preserves explicit
Grok effort through startup and resume.
> - Operators can upgrade an existing Grok agent without silently losing
its model, account, or effort.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Existing Grok Build agents have no Runner selector or upgrade action.
Adding only the mapping would route conversion through the Codex
fallback and lose Grok execution semantics. Native execution also
ignores the legacy reasoning-effort field.

**Expected behavior**

A qualified Grok agent can explicitly upgrade. The saved model, account,
instructions, history, and supported effort remain intact. Unsupported
legacy settings fail before saving. The provider must acknowledge the
selected effort before inference.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Open the runtime page of an existing Grok Build agent on a qualified
Linux x64 or macOS ARM64 computer.
2. Observe that the Runner selector and upgrade action are absent.
3. Compare the native execution input with the saved legacy
reasoning-effort setting.

Related work: #13882 introduced native Grok Build. #15422 covers the
earlier default-runner work. This change extends the current shared
selection contract.

## What Changed

- Add the Grok harness mapping, qualified platform limits, upgrade
action, and company-scoped computer qualification.
- Translate Grok settings to ACPX without changing the selected account
or explicit model. Resolve the legacy default model to the native
default. Preserve the effective legacy search policy. Reject
incompatible command, argument, permission, and turn-limit settings.
- Add native execution input v10 for explicit Grok effort and search
policy. Preserve historical schemas. Enforce disabled search through
Grok requirements and bind it across startup and recovery.
- Apply and verify ACP `reasoning_effort` before prompting. Bind the
value to provider descriptors, checkpoints, runtime identity, and resume
checks.
- Use the Grok catalog and effort choices in the task composer. Apply
task model and effort overrides while retaining the agent account and
search policy. Update runtime controls, portability/default handling,
documentation, and capability maps.
- Advance Pi and Copilot source attestations for changed shared
transport and recovery code. Keep historical identities intact and
update all Rust integration fixtures.

## Verification

- Migration and review regressions were reproduced before the fixes.
Coverage includes the Grok mapping, default model, explicit effort,
implicit search policy, task overrides, and incompatible legacy
settings. The broad migration, route, immutable-input, and composer
check passed 478 tests. The final catalog and task-input check passed
135 tests.
- Runner startup, recovery, search policy, and profile checks passed 361
tests, with one platform skip. The final source-identity,
search-admission, and transport event-pump check passed 89 tests.
- All 757 Rust workspace tests passed for the broad implementation.
After the final source attestation update, all 55 ACPX profile/session
tests passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed for the implementation.
Server and Runner typecheck passed after the final production change.
Server `tsc --noEmit` passed after the final test-fixture change. Docker
context integrity, token gates, maps, generated protocol data, and
replay goldens passed.
- The v10 startup fixture initially used an ambient local Grok login and
failed on CI. An explicitly empty credential home reproduced all four
failures. The fixture now supplies a synthetic key and a private empty
home. A separate case checks that missing credentials fail closed. All
seven selected Grok v10 and Claude v9 startup cases pass without host
credentials.
- The full local suite could not complete because embedded PostgreSQL
failed before database-backed fixture setup. The broad executor-suite
attempt hit the same limit and was stopped. Neither attempt is counted
as passing. Current-head CI must verify those paths before merge.
- Earlier CI found missing Rust input fields, stale source attestations
and exact fixture pins, a missing Docker context entry, and an outdated
import expectation. Those failures were fixed and checked locally. The
CI logs retain the original failures.
- Different earlier CI runs also failed unchanged cleanup pagination,
device-login timeout, and chat lost-response recovery cases. Later
attempts passed the cleanup and login cases without changes to those
implementations. Their causes remain unproven. The original evidence
remains in [the first
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40563402840),
[the login
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40571128328),
and [the chat
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40573072163).
A passing retry does not establish a root-cause fix.
- Both reviews rate current head
`16fba9b4cdf12bc7945e6628912e79da42959f35` 5/5. All current-head CI
gates pass in [run
40576580699](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40576580699).
All 60 check runs completed cleanly, including the four intentional
skips and the neutral 5/5 Paperclip review. The legacy security status
is successful. No review threads remain unresolved.
- Staging migration and a real shell task are pending deployment. This
PR does not claim full Grok provider qualification. Reviewers can verify
the operator path by upgrading a qualified Grok agent, checking its
saved model and effort, and running a shell task through native
execution.

## Risks

- Explicit effort and search policy require the matching Runner and
sidecar build. Older immutable execution inputs keep their existing
schemas.
- Providers that omit or reject the selected effort fail before a
prompt. Unsupported effort does not fall back silently.
- Existing agents retain their saved runner until an explicit change.
New Grok agents use native execution only on qualified platforms.
- Grok token and cost reporting remain unverified, as before.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The exact serving model ID and
context-window capacity are not exposed in this session. Used reasoning,
source editing, shell execution, and browser inspection.

3cd3af5d75 Trace native preparation and OpenCode execution phases (#17918)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Each native run prepares its workspace and skills, then starts its
provider.
> - A long preparation span does not show whether inventory refresh, a
cache lock, repository reads, or file checks caused the delay.
> - One hosted run spent 81 seconds in this phase. The same deployed
service and pinned files took 2.55 seconds in a separate diagnostic
process.
> - Another hosted turn spent 69 seconds before its first output. A
matched public-workspace local model replay took 7.64 seconds.
> - We need skill preparation and provider-internal measurements before
choosing another fix.
> - This pull request adds skill spans, a real-service benchmark, and
opt-in filtered provider timing.
> - The benefit is a faster and more precise diagnosis loop.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17620. That PR owns the batched read optimization. This PR adds
diagnostics and does not change its read policy.
Refs #17907. That PR protects long cache lock transactions from the
database idle timeout.

**What happened?**

Native skill configuration can take much longer than matched standalone
resolution. Provider execution also has long gaps with no internal
timings. Existing spans cannot separate inventory refresh, cache
acquisition, repository reads, context loading, Git snapshots, or model
streaming.

**Expected behavior**

An operator-configured trace shows these phases under the existing run
context. Without an OTLP endpoint, the new spans stay off. A local
benchmark can reproduce the service path with real PostgreSQL, files, an
agent actor, and a responsible user.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsx
scripts/benchmark-native-skill-preparation.ts --actor=agent
--staging-shape=true`.
2. Inspect cold and warm phase timings, SQL counts, and file
verification results.
3. Set the existing operator OTLP configuration and add
`--export-otlp=true` to inspect the same hierarchy in the collector.

## What Changed

- Add bounded skill inventory, refresh wait, cache acquisition, row,
version, repository, file check, and consumer spans.
- Keep the existing endpoint gate, attribute allowlist, cache locks,
authorization, file validation, and durable pin boundary.
- Add a standalone benchmark with a full repository fixture, immutable
snapshot input, calibrated local transport delay, and optional OTLP
export.
- Verify every delivered file and executable bit outside the timed
section. Create its fixture agent through the lifecycle API.
- Add an opt-in authenticated loopback sink for OpenCode. Discard raw
attributes, logs and content. Retain only closed phase names and
timestamps.
- Carry one bounded diagnostic batch through the real proxy, Rust
normalization, durable journal and server trace projection. Group
provider phases under their execution parent.
- Freeze the Date clock in an existing delegated Slack rate-limit test.
This fixes a CI failure when consecutive requests cross a rate-window
boundary. It does not change rate-limit behavior.
- Document phase boundaries and the difference between SDK startup and
confirmed ingestion.

## Verification

- Skill service, runtime selection, concurrency, cache and timing
suites: 122 tests passed with real PostgreSQL and migrations.
Enabled-span integration tests also passed. They verify parent
relationships and a real advisory-lock timeout.
- A captured 208-file repository produced 209 verified runtime files.
The benchmark uses real agent and responsible-user authorization. The
lifecycle fixture correction passed with the staging-shaped inventory.
- Affected OpenCode driver, collector and transport tests: 72 passed.
The tests cover authentication, content removal, size/count bounds,
disabled behavior and the rebuilt native Runner boundary. One Rust
projection test and 18 server trace tests also passed. A held run-log
sink proves that a full 128-span diagnostic batch adds no duplicate
database writes before terminal consumption.
- The two CI-failing delegated Slack rate-limit cases passed against
real PostgreSQL with only the Date clock frozen.
- Runner TypeScript and server TypeScript checks passed. Rust formatting
and module-boundary checks passed.
- Real Honeycomb readback confirmed the 14-span skill waterfall and a
40-span provider waterfall. Provider phases have the correct execution
parent. The provider export uses synthetic model replies and is
instrumentation proof only.
- Earlier full local checks failed on missing package-local executables,
then on the default Node heap and a missing generated service worker.
The dependency links were repaired. The server check passed with a
larger heap. The full local test attempt could not start embedded
PostgreSQL on this host and was stopped after retaining its failures;
real database coverage uses an isolated database on an existing local
server. These attempts do not count as a full local pass.
- CI on the prior revision passed typecheck, build, Runner and all E2E
shards. It failed the benchmark lifecycle boundary and one existing
rate-window test. Those fixes passed CI. A later Runner assertion
exposed the Copilot source identity pin on the shared transport file.
The diagnostic flag now uses the existing configured-environment
projection, preserving that file byte-for-byte. All 66 selected
installation and native transport tests passed. New-head CI and review
remain required.
- The under-15-second hosted response target remains unmet. This PR adds
diagnostics and does not claim a hosted latency fix.

## Risks

- Skill spans and Honeycomb export retain the operator endpoint gate.
OpenCode phase collection requires a separate explicit diagnostic flag.
Without an endpoint, its closed measurements stay in the instance run
log.
- Raw OpenCode OTLP can contain prompts and authorization attributes.
The new sink rejects unauthenticated requests and discards all
attributes before any measurement reaches PRP or the operator collector.
Request, event and per-phase limits bound memory and journal growth.
- Collection does not wait for a provider flush. Late or oversized
exports can be absent; these measurements are not a complete profiling
guarantee.
- The benchmark's inventory contents and transport delay are explicit
fixtures. They do not reproduce server contention or prove hosted
response time.
- The one durable diagnostic batch remains the local evidence. Its child
span export does not add per-phase run-log rows.
- No database migration, authorization policy, model selection or
inference transport changes. The Rust Runner and OpenCode proxy must be
shipped together for the new opt-in diagnostic.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with repository inspection, shell execution,
browser tools, and Honeycomb queries. The session does not expose a
verifiable backend deployment ID or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 9ae4c25e7e perf(runner): reuse compatible protected provider packs (#17749)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native Runner starts provider runtimes in remote execution
environments.
> - Sandbox images already contain qualified provider packs.
> - Startup required the image pack to match the entire current app
release manifest.
> - An unrelated app commit could therefore cause pack verification,
transfer, and installation again.
> - This pull request selects protected packs by their provider
interface and platform.
> - The benefit is no extra pack probe, directory scan, version command,
link, or upload on the compatible image path.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Starting a remote task can reject a compatible image pack because its
source revision or unrelated provider differs from the controller. Pack
replacement added about 16 seconds in the investigated startup. Startup
also repeated full content checks.

**Expected behavior**

Use an already qualified, protected pack when its selected provider
interface and target platform are compatible. Keep the selected artifact
identity for process launch and recovery.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Install a qualified provider pack in a sandbox image.
2. Start a controller built from another app commit.
3. Start a remote OpenCode task. The old complete-manifest comparison
rejects the image pack even when the provider interface still works.

Related repairs: #16493 reduced transfer cost. #17512 retained exact
artifact authority during reattachment. This change preserves that
recovery rule and changes fresh-launch pack selection.

## What Changed

- Add explicit OpenCode and ACPX interface revisions to produced pack
manifests. App Git SHAs and dependency pins remain provenance.
- Read bounded protected-installation metadata in the existing final
runner metadata query. Accept only root-owned paths that the execution
user cannot write, including ancestors and manifest. Reject writable
aliases.
- Select and prepare the pack in server-owned environment setup before
constructing the existing transport. Bind provider launch paths and
digests from the selected installation. Save that identity for exact
reattachment.
- Keep full content verification for uploads, writable installations,
and legacy packs. Reuse successful verification within one startup. Keep
older attached runners compatible with the optional metadata request.
- Seal image packs and document the one-time image refresh that enables
reuse across later compatible releases. Keep selected ACPX agent
qualification checks.

## Verification

- Red/green regression: the old code rejects a protected pack from
another app revision with `manifest mismatch`; the fixed path selects it
without executing verification commands.
- Native startup regression: select the installed pack's own Node digest
with one existing runner metadata request and no pack verification or
version commands.
- Targeted pack, artifact, recovery, execution-driver, and Rust metadata
tests pass. Incompatible interfaces/platforms, malformed identities,
writable roots, path aliases, and exact reattachment are covered.
- Final revision `91dc1676ff67bdbe5866c8586daac10240530cca`: workspace
typecheck and build pass. All 53 current-head checks are successful,
with no pending or failed checks. Greptile is 5/5 with no open findings.
- The broad local `pnpm test:run` attempt reported a workspace-runtime
conflict test failure; its isolated rerun passed. The broad run was
stopped after that failure. Full CI now passes, including the server
test shards. This is not a claim that the full local run passed.
- Linux filesystem evidence: the production metadata functions read a
real root-owned preinstalled pack as a non-root user in 16 microseconds
median and 20 microseconds p95 across 100 warm reads. This measures
metadata admission, not model or hosted response latency.
- All 910 affected server tests and 57 Copilot attestation tests pass
locally on the final implementation. Full CI covers the unchanged Runner
transport. No provider qualification hash was refreshed.
- Built the actual Linux daemon at
`416e7ec7425d0d3565b4a5e1808002d650a60414` and ran its metadata command
as UID 65534. The protected installation returned its real manifest with
`immutable: true`; writable alias and missing-pack cases returned
`immutable: false`. This is metadata/permission evidence, not provider
execution.
- Hosted rollout and a hosted end-to-end latency measurement have not
run.

## Risks

- Existing images need one rebuild to publish the compatibility
declaration. Packs without it keep the legacy content-verification path.
- Fast admission relies on image publication producing a qualified
protected tree. Root execution and task-writable installations retain
full verification.
- Bump an interface revision when required runner/pack behavior changes
incompatibly. Deploy a new image to roll out compatible runtime fixes or
upgrades.
- This removes provider-pack preparation delay. Other runner startup,
context, model, and finalization costs remain separate.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, configured model `gpt-6.1-sol`, reasoning effort `xhigh`,
with tool use and code execution. The context-window size is not exposed
in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 063a498b54 Bound native OpenCode assigned-tool catalog projection (#17740)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native agents use assigned connection tools through a governed
gateway.
> - OpenCode received the gateway catalog directly, outside the bounded
server tool projection.
> - A large catalog can exceed a provider grammar compiler's capacity
even when it fits the transport limits.
> - Synthetic requests reproduced the Fireworks grammar timeout on the
configured DeepSeek model.
> - This pull request gives OpenCode two assigned-tool discovery and
call schemas through the existing server relay.
> - The gateway keeps the same grants, validation, approvals,
revocation, and audit rules.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A native OpenCode run could fail during provider grammar compilation
before its first assigned-tool call. OpenCode advertised the full
assigned gateway catalog. A synthetic catalog of 741 tool schemas
reproduced `Grammar processing took too much time` on Fireworks through
OpenRouter with `deepseek/deepseek-v4.1-flash-1017`. The same model and
backend accepted a compact two-tool discovery/call catalog. This
reproduces the mechanism; it does not replay a historical private
request.

**Expected behavior**

Assigned-tool discovery must keep provider grammar size bounded. Every
call must retain the run's original gateway binding and permissions.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Give a native OpenCode run a large assigned connection catalog.
2. Use a provider that compiles tool schemas into a constrained output
grammar.
3. Observe the full catalog in the provider tool surface before this
change.
4. After this change, observe only `paperclip_search_assigned_tools` and
`paperclip_call_assigned_tool` for assigned tools. Discover and call a
permitted tool through its pinned alias.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Source checkout based on current `master`.

**Deployment mode**

Native local or sandbox execution with OpenCode 1.18.34.

Related work: Refs #14258 (discovery paging), #16678 (local adapter MCP
launch), and #17688 (gateway capability advertisement). This change
covers native OpenCode catalog projection.

## What Changed

- Route native OpenCode assigned tools through the existing server-owned
authenticated relay.
- Use bounded discovery/call schemas for OpenCode, including small
catalogs. Preserve transport capacity checks.
- Keep assigned gateway credentials on the controller. Ignore gateway
and credential values in tool arguments.
- Preserve exact declared MCP operation names through admission and
driver dispatch. Resolve transport prefixes only against the closed
catalog. Reject unknown or shortened names.
- Refresh former OpenCode direct-catalog and shortened-name checkpoints.
Keep the existing fingerprints for other providers.
- Add local and remote wiring, catalog capacity, alias, scope,
work-mode, approval, and revocation tests.
- Allow the native test files to use a validated dedicated external test
database when embedded PostgreSQL is unavailable.
- Document the assigned-tool execution contract.

- Bound OpenCode discovery pages to 32 KiB and large-schema chunks to
16K characters. Keep other harness budgets unchanged.
- Test medium pages and escaped large schemas through the actual HTTP
MCP bridge on the explicit Runner testing surface.

## Verification

- Red before the catalog fix: OpenCode did not create the server relay,
and forced compact delivery advertised 1 or 741 direct schemas.
- Red before the alias repair: HTTP MCP changed declared operation
names, and the driver sent `search_assigned_tools` instead of the
authorized `paperclip_search_assigned_tools`.
- Current repair tests: 112 OpenCode/proxy tests pass, plus one actual
Rust/proxy/HTTP MCP regression. Two checkpoint regressions fail with the
former scoped revision and pass with the new revision. Other providers
keep their prior fingerprints.
- The combined QA candidate with this exact PR head passes all 916
native tests and all 113 transport tests on supported Node 24.22. An
earlier Node 26.4/macOS run passed the 113 assertions but had an
uncaught networking error. That non-clean run remains recorded; its
stack matches [the upstream Undici
defect](https://github.com/nodejs/undici/issues/5544). No production
workaround or error suppression was added.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, and `git diff --check` pass on
`bc41ba72be2195eabeb0d7727227ee0cd02e8532`. The maps structural check
passes.
- The local `pnpm test:run` attempt stopped after host embedded
PostgreSQL initialization failures. The relevant database suites pass
with isolated PostgreSQL 18. All repository CI gates, including
aggregate `ci / verify`, pass on the current head.
- Synthetic live provider comparison: 741 invented schemas produced the
exact Fireworks grammar timeout in 20.9 seconds. Two compact invented
schemas produced a discovery call in 585 ms on the same model and
backend.
- The first hosted QA attempt exposed the alias failure described above.
On the patched source, a real local Rust runner → proxy → OpenCode
1.18.34 → exact DeepSeek smoke completed discovery, one synthetic
gateway read, and `paperclip_finish`, then emitted `turn/completed`. It
used the production compact projection and unchanged Rust allowlist.
- Two earlier local smoke attempts exposed missing terminal authority
and completion-contract fields in the smoke harness. Those failures
remain recorded. The corrected ordinary bindings produced the clean
result.
- Fresh Greptile: 5/5 on `bc41ba72be2195eabeb0d7727227ee0cd02e8532`,
with no new actionable findings or unresolved threads.
- Hosted QA publication and lifecycle acceptance remain pending. The
separate deployed-agent `Paperclip Review` check is also pending; it
follows a task that failed on the earlier deployed runtime.

- Local OpenCode/OpenRouter acceptance at `bc41ba72`: 530 synthetic
tools were authorized and installed. A simple model-ID reply completed
in 17.3 seconds with no app calls. A discovery task completed in 37.6
seconds, used the search/call relay, made one upstream call, and
returned the exact synthetic value. This is local source acceptance, not
a staging sandbox timing comparison.
- The large-result review finding has a failing-before/passing-after
HTTP MCP regression. Five medium schemas now page without invalid JSON.
A large schema with escaped text reconstructs exactly through bounded
chunks. All 35 assigned-tool tests and the server typecheck pass after
this follow-up.
- Final head `d84ce4856a6e65a35ad5fb8b561492598b525f4e`: all CI gates
pass. Greptile and Paperclip Review both rate the change 5/5. No review
threads remain open. The final full build, server typecheck, and 35
assigned-tool tests pass locally.

## Risks

- OpenCode uses discovery before it calls an assigned tool, including
for small catalogs. This can add a model turn.
- An existing OpenCode provider checkpoint rotates once because it
retains the former tool declarations. Paperclip task history remains
available.
- The historical filtered catalog was not captured. The synthetic
comparison proves the failure mechanism, not the exact cardinality of an
earlier private request.
- No model, provider route, permission, or automatic retry policy
changes.

## Model Used

The bounded-result follow-up also used OpenAI Codex (GPT-6 family). The
exact backend model ID and context-window size were not exposed for that
session. It used reasoning, code execution, and tool use.

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` in Codex, with reasoning, tool use, code execution,
and source inspection. The runtime does not expose the context-window
size.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 34409a92c4 fix(native-runtime): stop failover backups from carrying throwaway provider state (#17618)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runner sessions on managed sandboxes keep a failover backup
of provider state, so a replacement sandbox can resume the session
> - Each backup copies the provider's runtime directory, with a
per-directory sha256 manifest, minus `excludeEntries`
> - Codex already excludes credentials and re-downloadable plugin
caches; OpenCode excluded nothing, and ACPX excluded only per-agent
credentials
> - OpenCode also leaked a temporary HOME on every launch, because
removing it failed on the read-only skill snapshot inside and the error
was swallowed
> - So every backup carried every earlier launch's HOME (with its npm
cache) plus re-installable plugin `node_modules`
> - This pull request removes those homes correctly, sweeps homes left
by earlier versions, and excludes the throwaway entries from OpenCode
and ACPX backups
> - The benefit is much smaller backups and live session directories,
while session history is still backed up and restored

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Bug report described in-PR (bug report template).

**What happened?**
On one instance, current native failover backups totalled 24 GB across
about 300 sessions. For OpenCode sessions:
- `opencode/<session>/home-XXXXXX/`: 170 per-launch HOME directories
across 67 sessions, 9.3 GB. Each held `.npm` (about 111 MB of npm
cache), `.claude` (the skill snapshot) and `.local`.
- `opencode/<session>/config/opencode/node_modules`: 68 sessions, 4.3 GB
of OpenCode plugin installs.

One ACPX session also carried `acpx/<session>/data/pnpm/store` (229 MB
in the current backup, several GB in older copies).

Cause of the leaked homes: `startRuntime` in the OpenCode driver creates
a fresh `mkdtemp` HOME for each launch and seals the assigned skills
inside it (directories `0555`, files `0444`). `close()` and the
startup-failure paths removed it with `rm(..., { recursive: true, force:
true }).catch(() => undefined)`. That fails with `EACCES` on the sealed
directories, and the failure was ignored, so each launch left its HOME
behind.

**Expected behavior**
Per-launch homes are removed when the runtime closes, and backups hold
only state needed to resume a session. Caches that the provider
re-creates are left out.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run an OpenCode native session with at least one assigned skill on a
managed sandbox, over several turns or runs.
2. Inspect `<session>/` in the OpenCode runtime directory: one
`home-XXXXXX` per launch remains.
3. Inspect `failover-backups/current/opencode/<session>/`: the same
homes and `config/opencode/node_modules` are in the backup.

**Paperclip version or commit:** `master` at e335265568.
**Deployment mode:** any with native OpenCode/ACPX sessions on managed
sandboxes.
**Agent adapter(s) involved:** OpenCode (native), ACPX.

## What Changed

- OpenCode driver
(`packages/paperclip-runner/src/drivers/opencode/opencode-server-driver.ts`):
- `removeIsolatedHome` unseals the skill snapshot with the existing
`releaseMaterializedNativeRuntimeSkills`, then removes the HOME. Close
and every startup-failure path use it. It only unseals when `.claude` is
a real directory, not a symlink.
- Per-launch homes are now created under `<session>/homes/home-XXXXXX`,
so one exact path can be excluded.
- When a session opens, `home-*` directories left at the session root by
earlier versions are removed. History is not in them: OpenCode keeps it
in `XDG_DATA_HOME` (`<session>/data/opencode/opencode.db`), and HOME
only holds caches, state locks and the skill copy.
- Exports `opencodeRuntimeSessionDirectoryName` (the existing
session-directory naming) and `OPENCODE_ISOLATED_HOMES_DIRECTORY` for
the server.
- `resolveNativeHarnessPersistenceProfile`
(`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.ts`):
- OpenCode excludes `<session>/homes` and
`<session>/config/opencode/node_modules`.
- ACPX (every agent) excludes `acpx/<session>/home/.npm` and
`acpx/<session>/data/pnpm/store`, in addition to the existing per-agent
entries.
- `excludeEntries` are matched as exact relative paths (wildcards are
rejected), so the session directory is computed in the same way as the
existing ACPX entries.
- Exposes the two new exports through the server's runner vendor shim.

No code comments were added.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run src/drivers/opencode
src/drivers/runtime-context-materializer` (in
`packages/paperclip-runner/`): 108 passed. The 1 failure, `uses provider
structure rather than prose length to select a post-tool answer`, also
fails on unmodified `master`.
- The existing skill-tree test, with and without a startup retry, now
asserts that homes are created under `homes/` and that `homes/` is empty
after close.
- New test: a sealed legacy `home-*` at the session root is removed when
the session reopens, and `data/opencode/opencode.db` is kept.
- `pnpm exec vitest run src/services/native-runtime/
src/__tests__/native-harness-backup-expiration.test.ts` (in `server/`):
5080 passed. `plugin-runner-probe` could not run locally because of a
cargo manifest-path problem in this environment; it is unrelated to this
change.
- Profile tests cover the new OpenCode and ACPX exclusions, including a
session id that needs sanitizing.
- New checkpoint/restore round-trip tests for OpenCode and ACPX. They
use `syncRemoteRunnerDirectoryOut` for the backup and
`stageRemoteRunnerDirectory` for the replacement. Excluded caches are
absent from both the backup and the replacement, while history, config
and workspace files are restored and the live directory is unchanged.
- **Mutation checks**, each failing its test:
- removing the skill unsealing (homes leak again; 3 runner tests fail);
  - removing the legacy sweep (1 test fails);
  - emptying the OpenCode/ACPX exclusion lists (4 server tests fail).
- Checked by hand against the bundled OpenCode 1.18.34 binary, with the
driver's environment:
- launching with a fresh HOME and no `config/opencode/node_modules`
still lists earlier sessions;
  - OpenCode reinstalls the plugin dependencies on launch.
- `pnpm run typecheck` in `server/` and `packages/paperclip-runner/`:
pass.
- Not run: server build and boot smoke.

## Risks

- **Rollout:** existing backups still contain legacy `home-*`
directories. After a restore, the sweep removes them when the session
opens, and the next backup no longer carries them.
- **First launch after restore:** OpenCode reinstalls its plugin
dependencies and npm repopulates its cache. This needs network access to
the npm registry, the same as a brand-new session.
- **Crash leftovers:** a HOME left behind by a hard crash (the runner
killed before `close()`) stays under `homes/` until the session
directory is removed. It is still excluded from backups. Homes under
`homes/` are not swept on open, to avoid touching a HOME that a
concurrently running runtime might still use.
- **pnpm store:** dropping the pnpm store from ACPX backups means the
next `pnpm install` in a replacement sandbox downloads packages again.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), 1M context, through Claude Code
with tool use (shell, file edits, tests, and running the real OpenCode
binary to check what state it reads on resume).

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.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6. The exact serving model ID and context
window are not exposed in this task. Used for code changes, review and
tool-assisted verification.

DottaandPaperclip 45b67f1d93 feat: default new Apple Silicon Claude agents to Paperclip Runner (#15993)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets users choose an agent harness and account.
> - The server resolves the runner for new agents.
> - Claude still needs the same ordinary native-default journey as
Codex.
> - Existing agents must retain their runner, model and account.
> - This PR defaults new Apple Silicon Claude agents to Paperclip Runner
with Opus 5.5.
> - Users can connect and work without a runner override.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #15683. This PR depends on #15994 and precedes #15997. Related
scope: #15422, #13978 and #15224.

## What Changed

- Resolve new Apple Silicon Claude agents to `paperclip_runner`,
`provider: acpx`, `acpxAgent: claude`. Keep explicit Legacy, models,
provider routing and saved execution.
- Use `claude-opus-5-5` for ordinary Claude defaults and retain explicit
overrides.
- Reuse existing API-key/subscription connections, credential storage
and checks. Generalize the shared Advanced runner control with Claude
branding.
- Carry configured effort into the shared v9 contract. Preserve
compatible permissions, instructions, skills, timeouts and session
behavior. Require Legacy for unsupported settings.
- Qualify a new immutable managed Claude target at explicit Connect
through the existing permission-gated probe. Use fresh scoped discovery
for test and hire. Discard stale results and require an explicit Connect
after settings change.
- Retain merged Codex onboarding recovery, auth preparation,
import/effort corrections and Grok Bot gates.
- Check the Claude first-task wizard's saved default directly. Update
configuration/runtime documentation and exact Opus 5.5 accounting.

- Align hire fixtures with the merged host-environment restriction.
Native agent-authenticated hires cannot inject host env settings; both
creation endpoints verify that no extra agent is saved.

## Verification

- Updated onto master `9179d8dcc3e908c217fde4f63c9d08ccf8132eeb` through
#15994. Native input v9 carries effort while preserving v7 home modes
and v8 Muse. Codex defaults remain unchanged.
- Focused local verification passed 285 server tests, 323 UI tests, 124
setup/registry tests, and two v9 permission-pin transport cases. Direct
server/UI TypeScript checks passed. An initial 30-second hook timeout
was resolved by serial verification with a longer hook budget: all 122
credential/permission cases and 232 snapshot/environment cases pass.
Direct server TypeScript checking also passes.
- Ordinary web creation with the experiment disabled saved native
Claude, Opus 5.5 and High effort without runner/model overrides. The
actual product task and follow-up both succeeded on integrated source
`b2c9fe43f9cd3bc5dd9d22552da0148845ba71a4` with the cloud-built daemon
from `04e0202ca81387b17cbe7fd094a8338648356fe9`. The final master
reconciliation also changes shared runtime source. Historical proof
retains its source identity; a final-source cloud qualification is
running before refreshing the preview daemon.
- Both actual browser downloads were checked: v1 has three sections/six
checkboxes (451 bytes); v2 preserves the original body and adds two
Rollback checks (612 bytes). The original attachment stayed
byte-identical. The follow-up records session resume and the same
provider session. Total estimated API usage: $0.518432800, with no
pending/unpriced usage in the successful fixture.
- Fixed the live-discovered setup incompatibility: native API-key
validation no longer depends on the global Legacy Claude CLI. The
existing provider endpoint verifies the key without a paid prompt;
subscription/custom routing probes remain intact.
- Fixed security review's native-hire credential redirection:
agent-supplied URLs, proxy/launch settings and other host environment
controls are rejected before inheritance. Native credential references
remain supported and partial edits use the saved harness. Added
create/hire/update regression coverage.
- Current-head cloud CI is green. All three stack PRs have fresh
Greptile 5/5 reviews and zero unresolved review threads. Required
typecheck, test and build gates ran in cloud CI; Docker work stayed
remote. Earlier failed checks remain in their original runs.
- Docker and native release builds ran in cloud infrastructure. An
inadvertent local Rust prerequisite was stopped; no local Docker build
was run.

- The final master merge preserves task-loading, permission,
skill-retention and OpenRouter changes. Pi uses a fresh combined profile
27, preserving both historical profile-24 declarations; Copilot remains
profile 22. Focused protocol checks passed 155 cases (one skipped), the
updated Pi attestation check passed 18 (one skipped), and 91
evaluation/catalog checks passed.

- Latest-application manual continuation passed in 37.942 seconds on
`695e5c005a85bddc8711d3fcddcaf6b7e1fb64d0`, with High effort, native
Opus 5.5, Anthropic API attribution, the same resumed Claude session, an
independently checked 635-byte file and persisted Done status. It uses
the earlier verified Mac daemon; the preceding-source package
qualification passed at `dca62c7aeb4b45f0dd91a8e18d386a16a2658ef8`. That
package run predates the small TypeScript startup fix and is not
relabeled as qualification for it.
- Upgrade limitation: changed compiled sidecar identity rejected old
durable launch state and recovery hit session-open bounds before
eventually resuming. That attempt was operator-cancelled and retained;
the successful manual continuation does not qualify seamless upgrades.

- Local latency profile, Opus 5.5/High unchanged: three alternating
real-ACP loopback samples per variant reduce median provider-ready time
from 5.081s to 4.034s. The matched real API task startup improves from
5.533s to 4.348s, but total reply time changes from 17.933s to 20.221s
because agent work varies. This establishes a startup saving of about
one second, not a consistent total-reply speedup. A real candidate
follow-up passed in 20.146s and resumed the same saved session. The
loopback fixture makes no external model requests; failed initial probes
remain retained.
- The startup change passes 107 focused runtime/effort/lease tests, 53
profile checks (one skipped), TypeScript checking and the
TypeScript-only runtime build. Native hire fixture checks pass 70 tests;
their first local run retained a socket-hangup failure and stale
OpenCode expectation, both accounted for before the passing rerun.
Broader required checks run in cloud CI.

## Risks

- Missing packages, authentication rejection, unsupported settings and
unavailable models must fail explicitly. Existing agents retain saved
execution; explicit runner changes use existing revision/session
invalidation.
- Subscription follow-up remains unverified; remaining live acceptance
uses API keys per human steering. Historical accounting holds and the
separate $50 ceiling remain intact.
- The subscription acceptance limit remains explicit for review. No
Claude database migration is introduced.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution and browser testing. The exact serving model ID and
context-window size are not exposed in this session.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip fa9f3f8a08 feat(runner): support preconfigured user homes for Codex and ACPX (#16486)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Runner launches the selected provider and keeps durable session
state.
> - Runner currently prepares private provider homes for each session.
> - Operators can already have working login, skills, and MCP
configuration on the execution machine.
> - This PR adds an explicit mode that uses that existing setup.
> - Runner keeps its task bridge and session ownership while leaving the
user's configuration in place.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Problem or motivation:** Rebuilding a provider home is unnecessary
when the execution account is already configured.

**Proposed solution:** Add `homeMode: "preconfigured"` to Runner adapter
config and runnerd transport options. Keep `"isolated"` as the default.
Initially support native Codex and ACPX Claude.

**Alternatives considered:** Continue copying user configuration into a
private home, or add an approval workflow. Both add work outside this
feature's scope.

**Roadmap alignment:** This extends the existing cross-provider Runner.
It does not add another runtime.

Related work: #14056 covers managed Codex credentials. #14474 covers
command environment delivery. This mode uses user-owned credentials and
retains the existing launch boundaries.

## What Changed

- Add a closed v7 launch contract for the selected home mode. Existing
contracts retain their behavior.
- Keep homeMode under operator control. Reject task overrides and
agent-authenticated changes, including removal through replacements,
adapter changes, or rollback. Ignore stored task values and exclude it
from automatic hire inheritance.
- Skip managed AI login, assigned-skill materialization, and external
MCP setup in preconfigured mode. Preserve the Runner task/completion
bridge.
- Keep protocol state and provider lifetime fences scoped to the Runner
session. Different sessions can share a home.
- Fail preconfigured ACPX planning/read-only launches before provider
admission until a read-only user-home launch is qualified. Use isolated
mode or native Codex for planning.
- Reject ACPX approval requests. Keep native Codex on `never`. Local
permission rules and hooks remain effective. Initially require the
default Runner ACPX `approve-all` setting; other Runner policies are
unqualified in this mode and fail before launch.
- Keep the internal ACPX bridge in a stable session namespace,
preserving an existing user MCP server named `paperclip`.
- Reject preconfigured ACPX Codex before launch until a session
permission profile can enforce Runner-state denial. Remove the
unprotected full-access mode switch; use native Codex or isolated mode
for that model family.
- Bump Pi to profile 23 because its attestation covers shared Runner
source changed here. Preserve profile 22 for historical recovery, and
update Docker/package verification inputs.
- Fence recovery on mode and home bindings. Fail missing
provider-history recovery without starting a replacement session.
Exclude the external Codex home from backups and credential cleanup.
- Discover remote HOME on the execution machine. Do not project
controller HOME or XDG paths onto it.
- Separate task instructions from Codex ACP isolation and update the
generated provider digest.
- Keep remote configured-environment manifests consistent when dropping
controller paths. Preserve exact Claude model IDs through per-launch
environment settings, without editing the user home or patching the
provider.

## Verification

- Targeted local checks cover native contracts and launch allowlists,
user-config preservation, provider admission, permissions, session
recovery, remote environment projection, heartbeat preparation, and
operator-only configuration. Runner, shared, and server TypeScript
checks and the Rust binary build pass; generated ACPX profiles are
current.
- Following the latest master integration, all 757 server
configuration/executor tests and 115 Runner admission/recovery tests
passed. Additional review-fix checks passed: 103 planning contract/host
tests, 78 provider-backend tests, 95 route/preparation/inheritance
tests, 43 task-validator tests, and 43 workspace-policy tests. Counts
describe separate runs and can overlap.
- The real pinned Claude ACP/SDK regression reproduces exact-model
aliasing without the fix (`claude-sonnet-5-5` becomes `sonnet`) and
passes with the fix. All 89 adapter tests pass. User settings remain
byte-for-byte unchanged.
- Localhost-only Claude SDK probes with synthetic credentials verify the
private bridge runs, local `ask` reaches the existing reject callback,
local `deny` blocks without a callback, and a user MCP server named
`paperclip` remains available. No user model allowlist is required.
- Review regressions cover fail-closed provider admission, saved-mode
recovery before routing, controller-home path removal without
configured-environment manifest drift, pre-launch rejection of
unqualified read-only ACPX launches, and denial of task/agent changes to
the operator-owned home mode.
- Before rebase, `d4d4ee2aebe4cb88c4f4d9ef8e22fed4b36b87be` received
standard Greptile 5/5 with no unresolved threads. Prior Apex findings
are fixed and covered by regressions. No manual Greptile retrigger is
requested for this rebase, per reviewer direction.
- The prior PR head and master hit the same GitHub runner encoding crash
in workspace-b on three PR attempts, including diagnostic logging
([prior PR
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38818474563/job/116714538405),
[prior master
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38819528748/job/116712423193)).
Rebased onto `origin/master` at `c3ffa3f0dd` to pull in its bridge-test
index correction. The rebased head
`edd153db410bea063b645e0000aa68649f287b00` passes all CI checks ([CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38824676914)),
including workspace-b. Greptile's automatic standard review is 5/5 on
this exact head, with no unresolved threads; no manual review was
requested.
- Local workspace-b investigation passed 911 shared tests and 3,868
tests across the remaining 15 workspace projects. The catalog run
separately hit an existing ignored
`.agents/skills/design-guide/SKILL.md` description-budget violation in
this checkout; that file is untracked, outside the PR, and left
untouched. Repeating shared tests with CI reporting enabled also passed.
- Rebase verification: the final Git tree exactly matches the previously
reviewed branch combined with current master. All 192 Runner
admission/contract tests, 61 server preparation/provider tests, and 68
bridge tests pass, as do Runner/server TypeScript and generated-profile
checks. The real Claude adapter fixture hit an `ENOTEMPTY` cleanup race
on its initial run; all 89 adapter tests passed on retry.
- Apex on rebased head `edd153db` returned 2/5: ACPX Codex selected full
access without enforcing Runner-state denial, and agent configuration
replacement could remove the operator mode. Both are fixed in
`26e14dbbf`. Preconfigured ACPX Codex is temporarily unqualified;
re-enabling it requires session permission enforcement on thread/turn
operations and a real filesystem-denial probe. The config guard covers
effective replacements, adapter changes, and rollback while allowing
ordinary agent merges and operator removal. All 190 focused Runner
tests, 103 server tests, both typechecks, and generated-profile checks
pass. Standard review and CI passed before the next Apex request.
- CI on `26e14dbbf` passed 1,967 Runner-shard tests but hit the
previously observed `ENOTEMPTY` fixture cleanup race after successful
Claude model admission. `eb83284fb` adds bounded filesystem retries to
that fixture's teardown; all 87 adapter tests pass. Assertions and
production cleanup behavior are unchanged. Head
`eb83284fb42ee19a15d9a93b106c1bbb07e1695e` passes all 59 CI checks ([CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38829500857))
and standard Greptile at 5/5 with no unresolved threads. Apex also
completed at **5/5** on that exact head ([Apex
result](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/16486#issuecomment-6201559527)).
All review threads are resolved, the branch has no merge conflicts, and
the PR remains unmerged.
- No live paid-provider or remote-machine smoke was performed. The
lockfile remains unchanged under the repository's refresh-bot policy;
local dependency installation resolved the changed patch hash.

## Risks

This explicit opt-in grants Codex tools access to the execution home
(read-only in planning), including credentials. Native Codex separately
denies Runner-owned protocol state. ACPX Claude retains its existing
provider trust boundary, and the isolated default is unchanged.
Providers may refresh credentials and update their own metadata.

User configuration can block tools or the completion reporter. Existing
blocked results and failure diagnostics remain the recovery path. Edit
the local settings and retry; no new approval workflow is added.

External provider history remains on the execution machine and is not
backed up by Runner. Remote HOME discovery requires `getent` and fails
explicitly when unavailable. Other harnesses need separate
qualification.

The Codex ACP bundle digest changes. Existing sessions tied to the old
bundle may need a fresh session. No database migration is required.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with reasoning and code execution. The exact
runtime model ID was not exposed.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip c30fb7d2b7 refactor(core): share Runner execution lifecycle (#16318)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Core starts Runners in local, SSH, and sandbox environments.
> - Coding runs, Dot runs, and setup probes repeat connection setup
code.
> - These paths must keep the same preparation, authentication, and
cleanup order.
> - This pull request gives them one execution lifecycle contract and
one server connection driver.
> - Core keeps the existing PRP control plane after connection.
> - The benefit is one place to maintain environment routing before
adding another execution provider.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Runner environment preparation and connection setup across local, SSH,
and sandbox execution.

**Current behavior**

The coding transport owns the environment hook type. Dot borrows that
type. The server repeats connection selection, registration, ingress
activation, and release in task execution and setup probes. Changes to
one path can miss another path.

**Proposed behavior**

Use a shared `RunnerExecutionDriver` contract. Route built-in task
execution and remote setup probes through
`createNativeRunnerExecutionDriver`. Keep provider session setup,
process supervision, PRP commands, and recovery logic on their existing
paths.

**Reason and benefit**

Environment code can prepare resources and provide a connection without
adding another PRP execution path. The same driver preserves local
loopback, remote outbound WSS, and authorized sandbox ingress.

**Breaking changes**

None intended. Existing flat SDK options remain compatible. This is an
in-process contract. It does not add a plugin wire contract or Launcher
APIs.

**Additional context**

Related: #15406 proposes plugin-provided Runner execution. This change
starts from `master` and does not depend on that PR. It extracts the
existing lifecycle before adding another provider. Related: #16125
covers remote environment support for external adapters; this PR does
not implement that feature.

## What Changed

- Extract and export `RunnerExecutionDriver` from the coding transport.
Use it for coding and Dot options.
- Share server connection negotiation across coding runs, Dot runs, and
remote setup probes.
- Preserve outbound validation before staging, capability checks before
ingress, process dispatch before ingress connection, and verified
process readiness.
- Preserve warm run registration, restart guards, checkpoint hooks, and
cleanup ownership.
- Add 13 focused driver tests and document the lifecycle boundary.

## Verification

- Targeted server execution and recovery tests: 728 passed, 35 skipped.
These cover `native-session-executor`, `native-ssh-command-runner`, the
new driver, warm restart transitions, and Runner restart recovery.
- Targeted setup and driver tests: 109 passed after the review fix.
Twelve driver tests overlap with the preceding count. The added test
verifies that failed CA staging cannot leave a PRP route behind.
- Runner connectivity tests: 11 passed.
- Runner package lifecycle tests: 287 passed across coding transport,
Dot, restart continuation, and settlement. These exercised the compiled
Rust Runner.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed.
- `pnpm build`: passed.
- `git diff --check`: passed. Local secret-pattern scan: clear.
- The PRP transport runtime and remote process launcher remain
unchanged. A byte comparison against the base confirmed this.
- CI passed on `b10789dfce30a837ce890f44e352064c7a74366f`: all 55 active
checks are green, including the full test shards, Runner checks, browser
tests, typecheck, build, and aggregate gate. Greptile scored this commit
5/5 with no unresolved findings.
- An earlier broad local shard run was not green: 34,888 passed, 12
failed, and 4,125 skipped. Failures were ten timeouts and two Git
fixture assertions affected by local `init.defaultBranch=main`. Isolated
retry passed all six non-route timeout suites (427 tests), two route
suites, and both Git assertions with a test-process-only
`init.defaultBranch=master`. The agent live-run route retry still timed
out. No unrelated source changes were made. Further broad local runs
were stopped at the user's request.

Targeted commands:

```sh
cd server
node ../node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts src/services/native-runtime/native-ssh-command-runner.test.ts src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-execution-driver.test.ts src/services/native-runtime/native-warm-transition-restart.integration.test.ts src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts --config vitest.config.ts
node ../node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run src/services/native-runtime/setup-readiness.test.ts src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-execution-driver.test.ts --config vitest.config.ts
cd ../packages/paperclip-runner
node ../../node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run src/live/runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts src/drivers/dot/runnerd-dot-driver.test.ts src/live/runnerd-restart-continuation.test.ts src/live/runnerd-codex-transport-settlement.test.ts --maxWorkers=2
cd ../..
node node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run packages/adapter-utils/src/runner-connectivity.test.ts
```

## Risks

- Startup ordering and connection cleanup are sensitive. Focused tests
cover local registration, outbound validation, CA mapping, ingress
ordering, release, and warm authority guards.
- No live SSH host or sandbox provider was used. Existing mocked remote
tests and real local Runner tests passed.
- No database, PRP wire protocol, or Launcher API changes are included.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 via Codex, with tool use and code execution. The served
model variant and context window were not exposed to this task.

DottaandPaperclip d67e3507b2 feat(runner): qualify Codex platform packages and cache hosted builds (#16028)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native execution needs a compatible installed daemon and provider
dependency.
> - The Codex-default work found missing platform packages and
clean-install startup failures.
> - Release builds also repeat dependency compilation and run
preparation serially.
> - This prerequisite packages four daemon targets and verifies
installed native startup.
> - It also caches hosted Cargo dependencies and overlaps JavaScript
preparation with compilation.
> - Agent creation defaults and experimental gates stay at the current
master behavior.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #15683. Refs #15555. Refs #15422. Refs #15926. Refs #15932.

Extract runtime and installation support from #15683. This prerequisite
has 65 changed files. Creation, onboarding, imports, UI runner selection
and graduation remain in the dependent PR. Feature/access maps and the
Storybook source catalog stay synchronized. Existing agents keep their
execution choices.

## What Changed

- Correct the existing runner test fixtures. Reserve owned credential
quorum listeners through the existing bounded fixture helper. Keep
foreign listeners intact, run actual credential staging once, and
preserve its rejection and unchanged-auth assertions. Reuse the
durable-resume outer-limit correction. Wait for actual warm-completion
and held-authorization callback entry under the existing recovery
deadline and surface early request errors. Preserve every semantic
assertion.
- Retain bounded installation failure diagnostics through the existing
qualification receipt upload. Keep the original error, 10-minute
deadline and all success checks.
- Keep startup ownership until credential preparation and registration
drain. Reject duplicate and post-close startup/resume work. Observe
shutdown during normal and adopted authentication readiness. Preserve
the primary failure and retain private state when cleanup is
unconfirmed.
- Package Linux x64/ARM64 and macOS Apple Silicon/Intel daemons. Verify
target headers, source identities, manifests, and hashes before assembly
and installation.
- Reuse the existing release producer/consumer workflows. Cache Cargo
dependencies by target, OS, compiler, lockfile, and contract inputs.
Rebuild workspace binaries. Permit trusted cache writes only for
canonical exact-source master pushes.
- Overlap JavaScript preparation with native compilation. Join both
commands and failure/cancellation cleanup before artifact verification.
- Preserve shell positional arguments in the shared SSH runner and apply
environment assignments correctly. Reject environment option keys. Six
before/after controls and two real SSH subprocess paths pass with zero
provider calls; this fix lands before both Codex and Claude defaults.
- Admit verified suspended SSH backups during cold controller
continuation, using the same full-scope, integrity and lifecycle checks
as sandbox targets. Two positive SSH cases fail before; all 14
positive/negative matrix cases pass afterward. Active ownership and
corrupt/malformed/nonempty state remain rejected.
- Record measured sandbox platform facts through the existing explicit
environment probe. Bind facts to the company, effective provider
configuration, immutable OCI image and actual captured image binding.
Check the returned cleanup receipt. Reject client-authored proof and
stale or named boot identities. Creation and discovery allocate nothing.
Preserve connection-only behavior.
- Resolve the actual remote Codex target and preserve same-host
development overrides. Preserve runtime artifact verification. Use
actual protocol/model compatibility rather than a numerical CLI version
fence.
- Resolve the installed Codex login dependency on 64-bit Linux and Mac
independently of the daemon libc baseline. Preserve account homes and
safe errors.
- Fix actual clean-install TOML table comparison. Preserve strict
semantic checks, comments, private writes, and malformed-input
rejection. Preserve primary startup failures and bounded cleanup.
- Document GNU libc 2.39+ and stock Ubuntu sandbox prerequisites.
Qualify ARM startup with a scoped distribution profile and unchanged
global restrictions. Preserve Windows and Alpine deferral.
- Preserve selected and saved native Codex reasoning effort in the
existing UI builder, while excluding it from other providers. This small
shared correction prevents import edits higher in the stack from
dropping effort.
- Reuse existing installed-package checks and assertions. Paperclip
tarballs contain no Codex native payloads. Official npm dependencies
supply the consumer's Codex binaries. All Docker and native builds stay
remote.

## Verification

Candidate: `271d434c170e74bdedde65d0b13059a55419c943`. It includes
current master `e168512f7bdbb6af6ea01954c6d7ed80b91e903e` and preserves
prior candidates through ordinary commits.

Current [full
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38346601686)
is successful on attempt 2. GitHub reports 54 successful checks and four
conditional skips, including required verify and browser aggregates,
workspace typecheck/tests/build, Linux DB controls, both runner shards
and [isolated native
compilation](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38346601609).
Fresh current-head Greptile is 5/5 with all four threads resolved. The
passing build's clean Grok/Codex report records CI merge source
`7a82a37438e6e448abc7cc5caa60dc2519a97be0`, 18 installed packages,
omitted Codex payloads, official host-only npm dependencies and zero
provider calls. Pi setup and its no-prompt lease verification also pass.
The first attempt's single 60-second Node archive download timeout
remains retained; its DNS/TLS/download cause remains unknown. One
unchanged-source retry was requested through the normal Build-job dialog
with debug logging disabled. GitHub's attempt 2 graph reports the other
CI jobs as well; no second retry or source/deadline relaxation was made.

The [final exact-source package
campaign](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38347027535)
is successful on literal `271d434c170e74bdedde65d0b13059a55419c943`. It
passes all four native producers, public Linux package assembly and
clean installed consumers on Apple Silicon, Intel Mac and Linux ARM64.
The nine qualification-mode skips are intentional; full CI above covers
their ordinary gates. Native builds and Docker assembly ran remotely.
The predecessor [`dae808` package
campaign](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38342104102)
remains literal historical evidence. Only tests and the dated record
differ from that source; runtime, package and workflow code is
unchanged. The reused credential fixture correction passes all 42
canonical Node 24 controls with synthetic data and independent
matching-source review, and the current hosted runner shard passes.
Production credential behavior is unchanged.

**Merge hold:** current-source CI, fresh 5/5 review and exact-source
package qualification pass. Actual code-owner approval and normal
protected merge remain pending. No slice has merged or deployed. GitHub
CLI authentication needs refresh; the normal signed-in embedded GitHub
UI provided this status without credential workarounds.

- The master merge preserves both Storybook source-review appendices and
the guarded test-home cleanup. All six existing cleanup controls pass
without skips. Master's isolated-home helper/test/setup are
byte-identical. The two existing whitespace lines in master's unrelated
privacy test remain outside this PR's diff.
- Canonical Node 24 passes all 24 existing public-install helper tests.
Three narrow added cases prove bounded/redacted failure metadata,
symlink exclusions, original exception identity, failed diagnostic
writes and no false failure on success. The Mac installer now uses
`--timing`; at most two 16 KiB tails and 32 structured entries per tail
enter the existing receipt upload. Raw argv, URLs, environment, error
text and stacks are omitted. A failed receipt explicitly remains
FAILED/unqualified/runtime-not-attempted. The 600,000 ms install
deadline and every real package/hash/payload/lock/lifecycle/runtime
oracle are unchanged.
- Canonical Node 24 reproduces the durable-resume outer timeout under
controlled fake latency. Only its outer test limit changes to 15
seconds; internal 500 ms/5 second deadlines and usage/effect assertions
remain. Controlled warm-recovery and before-bootstrap authorization
scheduling delays reproduce their callback polling failures, while the
explicit entry signals pass. Early recovery errors surface unchanged.
Independent review is clear. Historical mock binaries support the
fixture controls; fresh full hosted CI remains decisive. The original
hosted callback failure cause is inconclusive.
- The composed runner/surfaces/server/E2E TypeScript checks pass. Map
checks pass 35 areas/171 capability IDs. Token gates pass. The existing
Storybook catalog passes 223 files/2,210 stories; story IDs and
classifications remain intact. The current master had 25 inherited stale
fingerprints from three changed map recipes. Only those guarded
fingerprints and a source-only review note change; all 92 non-map
story/component/fixture inputs remain unchanged. Existing
classifications are retained. This proves source structure, not visual
or live acceptance.
- The 65-file contribution audit has no code file crossing from below
1,000 lines to above the limit. Earlier comment cleanup preserves
executable emissions, parsed workflows and action pins. Independent
cleanup/catalog and three-file reporting reviews are clear. No new
workflow, suite, grader or local native/Docker build was added.

**Prior `dae808` gate evidence:** fresh Greptile is 5/5 with four
resolved threads, isolated native compilation and the browser aggregate
pass. Its first runner shard passes the previous two corrections but
fails a different held-authorization cell at the implicit one-second
polling deadline. It records 1,672 passes/one failure/three skips. This
candidate applies the verified entry-signal correction without changing
production deadlines or any semantic assertions. Its original hosted
cause remains inconclusive until fresh CI.

**Previous-source evidence, kept literal:** the [exact `16a532` package
campaign](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38338806076)
passes all four native producers, public Linux package assembly, Apple
Silicon, Intel Mac and Linux ARM64 installed consumers. Its fresh review
is 5/5 with all four threads resolved. Full CI records 52 successful
checks, four conditional skips and the two fixture failures corrected
here. This is not a green full-CI candidate or proof for the new source.

`64c074fb8da1b31f8d6042c4fef48dc4164e759b` passed [full
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38332726938),
54 checks/four conditional skips, [isolated native
compilation](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38332726787/job/115085895328),
and fresh Greptile 5/5/all four resolved threads. The hosted transport
suite passed 246 tests and startup trust passed 22, closing that
source's local fake-binary limitation. These are historical after
reconciliation.

The [previous exact-source package
campaign](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38332921463)
built all four platform daemons and passed public Linux package assembly
plus Apple Silicon and Linux ARM64 installed consumers. **Intel Mac
failed:** its initial scripts-disabled npm install timed out before
lifecycle/runtime assertions. The underlying download/resolution/host
cause is unknown because the old helper deleted the npm logs. This is
the concrete baseline for the diagnostic change. The failed campaign
remains failed; no all-platform signoff or automatic retry is claimed.

The earlier `a200495` [four-target
campaign](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38283695248)
and [scoped ARM
qualification](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38291535914)
remain component evidence. Cargo restores were cold misses; no
warm-cache speedup is claimed. Paperclip tarballs contain no Codex
payloads. Official npm dependencies supply Codex on the user's platform.

Current-source full workspace typecheck/tests/build, Linux DB controls,
static/Rust/native tests, all browser shards and exact-source package
consumers must pass. New-agent defaults and final managed onboarding
belong to #15683. Actual private Cloud composition, warm/cold signup,
task/follow-up and rollback compatibility remain later release gates.
Source audits found that ordinary managed onboarding does not run the
saved platform probe and Cloud distributes named snapshots without a
verified final boot-image binding. These dependent release blockers
remain open; prequalified E2E fixtures do not close them. Master adds
task-workspace migrations; the final image/migrator and previous-image
checks must include them. ARM paid task/follow-up and ordinary OS APT
installation are not proven.

## Risks

- Multi-target packages require source and header agreement. Missing or
mismatched artifacts fail explicitly. Existing execution choices remain
unchanged.
- Linux requires GNU libc 2.39+ and compatible sandbox prerequisites.
The scoped hosted ARM preparation does not qualify arbitrary containers
or kernels. Windows, 32-bit ARM, and Alpine remain deferred.
- Only dependency crates are cached. Preview jobs cannot write trusted
caches. Concurrent command cleanup must preserve the primary failure.
- Native-free Paperclip packaging retains official Codex npm
dependencies. No Codex payload bundling, schema migration, automatic
agent migration, or production deployment is included.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and parallel agents. The exact serving model snapshot and
context-window size are not exposed.

DottaandPaperclip ed2c22ea8c feat(connections): simplify dedicated GitHub App setup (#15416)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent work and the tools each agent can use.
> - GitHub bots need their own App identity and restricted repository
access.
> - Manual App configuration and repeated setup gates make that
connection hard to finish.
> - GitHub can create an App from a manifest, but people must approve
creation and repository access.
> - Each Paperclip stack should own configuration, credentials,
signature verification, and task admission.
> - This change uses Cloud as an encrypted callback and event gateway,
then completes setup in the stack.
> - GitHub review bots have their own experimental setting. Chat
connector opt-in does not control them.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Dedicated GitHub App setup, bot settings, and task-scoped GitHub
replies.

**Current behavior**

Users must configure an App, copy credentials, repeat repository
selection, and complete manual verification gates. Review settings are
hard to scan. Mentions in descriptions can be missed, and automatic
completion text can produce an extra GitHub comment.

**Proposed behavior**

Choose an agent and connect GitHub under a personal account or
organization. GitHub asks for creation and installation consent.
Paperclip resumes the same draft, stores secrets locally, imports
access, verifies delivery, and opens Settings. Each accepted request has
one editable App-owned comment for progress and results. Review
assessments produce deterministic checks for the reviewed commit.

**Breaking changes**

GitHub bots require their own default-off experimental opt-in. The
setup-method and delegated-agent screens are removed. Per-person
automatic-run flags remain readable but are replaced by author filters.
Existing connections, direct webhooks, saved restrictions, and manual
existing-App recovery remain supported.

Companion gateway:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-cloud/pull/688 (merged). The
roadmap and related PRs were checked; no duplicate dedicated-App wizard
was found.

## What Changed

- Add an independent **GitHub review bots** setting across the catalog,
routes, identity admission, and task controls. Existing bots continue
running when the UI setting is off.
- Replace setup with Choose agent and Connect GitHub. Support personal
and organization owners, inline low-trust conversion, saved drafts,
known organization suggestions, automatic completion, and same-App
recovery.
- Keep manifests, OAuth PKCE, credential exchange, vault storage,
installation verification, and original webhook-signature validation in
the stack. Use the Cloud sealed gateway for public callbacks and
outbound local delivery.
- Add resumable owner metadata in migration 0323. Retry a failed
registration renewal through the same durable replacement rather than
creating another App route.
- Support authorized mentions in issue and PR bodies, comments, inline
comments, and review summaries. Preserve attachments, edited-source
identity, duplicate protection, and lifecycle invalidation. Filter
requests explicitly addressed to another connected bot.
- Give agents task-scoped review, comment, and update tools. Update one
working comment through progress and final output. Close coalesced
requests and recover delayed acknowledgements, including deleted earlier
working comments. Preserve automatic replies for legacy connections
without saved review configuration. Preserve partial publication
evidence and quarantine uncertain automatic fallbacks without blocking
Board messages or questions.
- Reorganize Settings and Access with rich slash-skill instructions,
numeric passing scores, clear automation controls, formal-review
tooltips, member and contributor sections, and verified App branding
links. Preserve invalid score drafts and automation choices across tabs.
- Paginate repositories in 20-row batches with search and a true
connection-wide toggle. Batch verification at GitHub's 500-ID token
limit. Keep saved repository overrides while hiding their editor.
- Give each review a detail URL that remains usable beyond the newest
100 records. Synchronize the manager OpenAPI contracts and add recovery,
authorization, UI, and browser regressions.
- Reconcile the current master branch and retain its agent avatar,
feature catalog, and extracted heartbeat preparation code. Preserve a
saved test-drive port and recover from an occupied high port.

## Verification

- Focused UI, independent experimental-setting, and CLI tests: 199
passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, and `pnpm check:token-gates`
passed. The broad local Vitest attempt was interrupted after resource
timeouts and stale expectations; the affected regressions passed focused
reruns. The latest-head full CI matrix passed, including all browser
shards, server/chat suites, builds, typechecking, canary packaging, and
Docker context integrity. A Docker Hub 429 required a CI retry; it
passed without changing the code.
- Final review repairs: 127 attachment/event tests and server typecheck
passed. All 13 final integration regressions passed under the normal CI
timeout, covering legacy reply compatibility, deleted coalesced
comments, inline-only review completion, progress edits, and native
final recovery. Restart-safe description/review attachments passed the
attachment suite.
- Final regressions: four reply/lifecycle tests, both native GitHub wait
tests, 171 feature-gate/reply-contract tests, the routed review preview,
and five scheduler/reply regressions passed. The final fixture repair
also passed all six setup-continuation cases and all three complete
chat-test shards in CI, covering terminal receipts and retries under the
normal CI timeout. One loaded-host receipt run exceeded its local
timeout; the exact case passed in an isolated rerun and the complete CI
shard.
- GitHub integration tests cover personal and organization setup, retry
recovery, edited mentions, attachment provenance, coalesced requests,
delayed acknowledgements, partial review writes, old review URLs, and
company boundaries.
- Browser qualification: both GitHub journeys, all five provider
setup/management journeys, and the GitHub uncertain-send recovery
journey passed. GitHub setup, reconnect, and task replies run with chat
disabled; chat enabled alone cannot expose GitHub bots. The disposable
qualification database was removed after testing.
- Earlier live qualification verified App-owned issue replies, native
slash-skill invocation, progress comment edits, and a 5/5 PR review with
a passing current-head check in the dedicated permissions-smoke
repository. These live checks did not use personal credentials as bot
execution authority.

## Risks

- Deploy the merged Cloud gateway protocol before the stack update. Each
callback and encrypted event must retain the original instance and
tenant binding.
- Migration 0323 uses idempotent column additions for test installations
that already applied the earlier draft migration number.
- A verified connection does not prove runtime isolation or a completed
review. Runtime checks remain separate.
- Required merge checks must be configured in GitHub. A passing numeric
score does not formally approve a PR; approval and request-changes tools
remain opt-in.
- Existing-App credentials cannot silently renew an uncertain manifest
exchange. Recovery preserves the existing App, draft, connection, and
agent.
- Repository changes save immediately. Global toggles affect all
currently available repositories, including unloaded rows, without
granting new installation access.
- A failed or uncertain tool write suppresses automatic fallback text;
the governed outbox retains its evidence. Deleted or replaced response
comments are not recreated through a personal credential fallback.
- GitHub logo upload remains an optional human action in GitHub App
settings. Runtime provisioning, delegated setup, screenshot publication,
and production push delivery remain deferred.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with tool use and code execution. The
exact runtime model identifier and context size are not exposed in this
session.

DottaandPaperclip 57e977be72 feat: integrate Pi 1.0 into the experimental Runner (#14921)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - The experimental Runner owns provider processes and durable
sessions.
> - Pi needs working task execution and human controls.
> - The five-PR stack must preserve changes already on master.
> - Each layer now carries the complete integrated source for a safe
sequential fallback.
> - This PR belongs to native GitHub stack #15602, ending at #14956.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #14436, #14631, #14743 and #14956.

Ship Pi 1.0 through the experimental Paperclip Runner. The five PRs are
#14921, #14922, #14923, #14924 and #14956. The user authorized the
complete merge after checks pass. Existing `pi_local` execution is
unchanged. Accounting and wider provider/platform qualification remain
deferred.

## What Changed

- Recover missing final replies after workspace finalization changes
owners, using accepted-turn evidence without rerunning work or granting
external-chat publication.
- Preserve the admitted Pi instruction root across warm runs, while
retaining changed-root rejection.
- Give Pi a bounded 15-second default shutdown grace so stop, drain
acknowledgement and durable suspension can complete. Explicit deadlines
and other providers retain their existing behavior.
- Integrate the Pi 1.0 runtime and master contracts.
- Use Pi profile 22. Preserve explicit caller-selected models and exact
native thinking levels. Keep Pi's wrapper, helper, extension and
question/control behavior unchanged from the qualified profile-19
runtime.
- Preserve master's Dot lifecycle and consent fields, configured task
environment, status guards and current Codex/Claude dependency versions.
Cursor stays qualified. Copilot stays pending; profile 17 binds the
changed shared protocol validation sources.
- Exclude general AWS IAM credentials from Pi static/custom provider
bindings and selected task projections; preserve the provider-scoped
Bedrock bearer key. Profile 21 is retained as historical provenance.
Rust and cloud install probes use the current declaration.
- Patch bundled brace-expansion 5.0.9 to the exact official 5.0.12
payload. Pin the patch and complete runtime closures. Include the patch
in normal installed setup tooling. Keep the upstream Pi shrinkwrap as
provenance and permit only this exact security correction.
- Include current attestation files in the Docker build context. Keep
the repository lockfile unchanged from master. CI and private image
builds resolve manifest changes before their frozen installation.

## Verification

- Full local `pnpm -r typecheck` passes, including Runner Rust, server
and UI. Focused integration checks pass: 194 Runner
admission/environment tests, 63 profile/credential tests with one
expected skip, 152 Dot/UI configuration tests, and Pi transcript/notice
tests.
- Full local `pnpm build` passes on the final source.
- Fresh final-source checks pass: all 698 Rust workspace tests (32
binaries), 156 credential/profile/controller tests with one expected
skip, Runner TypeScript typecheck, and 20 package/setup/sandbox tests.
- The profile-21 Pi materializer passes on the native host with the
official pinned Node 24.21.0 and its npm. It verifies all 150 locked
packages, the patched dependency and the exact closure. Setup/package
bundle tests and UI token gates pass.
- The old hashes were reproduced for all three supported targets before
calculating the patched graph. New closure hashes are darwin-arm64
`282022db10150c6632b3444df421342e7d534bdf5d5fb1097a2e79d0625a2bcf`,
darwin-x64
`64e251e19009f755c0b04f73ce2138246faab71a961b0f13d75ebfcc34bef12e`, and
linux-x64
`713b1fdff42fb56a1518bdc084f181d70bee8ebadc3e4b1d76321ed9108c8410`.
Independent native platform execution is separate from graph identity
reproduction.
- Historical cloud qualification remains unchanged: all seven core cases
pass on shipping source `10dc43c9ec65d88c2f782d62afb296d09494f215`,
harness `1a4408a48cfb5a1f094a311141c257c92cd7a893`, image
`sha256:5b3a775b383591bda1b0c1889e509acc70ce7f37c53f09733c81d59037f02280`,
and accepted Sonnet 4.6/low fixture. All 215 canonical files and all
seven cleanup checks pass independent verification. These are profile-19
results and are not relabeled as fresh profile-22 runs.
- Current Pi digest:
`sha256:e92078bee3c23bec4100aa589013a44613d054cd686826534025d8019e9f39a9`.
[The readiness
plan](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/codex/pi-production-readiness/doc/plans/2026-10-02-pi-production-readiness.md)
preserves campaign and failed-attempt provenance.
- Merge only after every PR's current-head CI and fresh review pass.
Linux CI covers the full suites, build and browser tests. The local
embedded Postgres API-authority suite cannot start on this macOS/Node 26
host, so Linux CI must confirm that suite.

### Fresh profile-22 core qualification — 2026-10-08

All seven accepted core cases pass canonically on Pi profile 22, with
`openrouter/anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6` and native-confirmed low

All 215 canonical files (28714587 bytes) are independently
hash-verified. All seven cleanup grades pass, with no owned runtime
process or temporary root after each case. Automatic retries are zero.
The owned cloud host stopped normally after retention. The prior
profile-22 warm attempt remains failed and separately retained: archive
SHA-256
`1e54eba5ec72b50cee1534b23d1d1d4f21a090006b8a64501ba70db972abfde5`. Its
original canonical classification is preserved. Diagnosis reproduced a
product bug comparing an agent-files root against an unset
checkpoint-only field. The fix stores the admitted physical root
separately from the adopted per-run collection capability. The real-root
regression fails before the fix and passes afterward, including
rejection of a changed physical root. Fixture, grader, model and all
seven accepted case IDs are unchanged; this fresh campaign tests
final-reply publication after file registration first. The intermediate
restart attempt also remains failed and retained: archive SHA-256
`5dcaefdf1d17cf4cd54fd4cf810f45e736667392339b8ce7caf08bb4e225277f`. Its
original canonical classification is preserved. Pi resumed, wrote the
verified answer and completed its task; exact runner suspension was
proven, but idle stop consumed about 5.2s and left under 3s for the
drain acknowledgement. The Pi-only default shutdown grace is now 15s,
preserving a full 5s drain round trip and a finite suspension reserve.
Explicit caller deadlines, other provider defaults, literal drain
receipts and exact suspension identity checks remain unchanged. The
timing regression fails before this correction and passes afterward; all
18 focused settlement tests and Runner typecheck pass. The final-source
file attempt is also preserved as failed (`candidate_failure`), archive
SHA-256
`db6767b6773ea618997927ac77bdb005a5ac81492c7b9c0ffbc900449f829bc9`.
Native edit, validation, exact downloadable artifact and Done/succeeded
all passed, and the exact final reply was durably recorded. A workspace
recovery owner completed before the live heartbeat reached presentation,
leaving that reply absent from task chat. Recovery now materializes only
a completed final reply from the accepted turn of an ordinary internal
Done task, preserving issue/run/contract binding, suppression,
external-chat authorization and same-run deduplication. The database
regression covers the generated file-preparation receipt, suppression,
unapproved external continuation and replay. Server typecheck and all 49
response-selection tests pass; hosted Linux verifies the database
regression because embedded PostgreSQL cannot start on this Mac.

The delayed-final-answer database regression passes on [the final
root-source Linux server
shard](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37868262553/job/113628594152),
alongside 1,108 passing tests. The first root Runner shard had one
unchanged durable-resume test exceed its 5-second timeout; the identical
top-source shard and the isolated exact test passed. One rerun of that
failed job and its required aggregate passed without source or test
changes. The original failed job log and the single-rerun receipt remain
retained.

### October 9 merge verification

Current merge head: `5a8fe63512a7166aaef5cf50065a25008aa8b44b`. All
current-head checks pass, including `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e`;
exact-head Greptile review is 5/5 with no unresolved threads. Current
master conflicts are resolved. The user authorized the maintainer
override of the code-owner review gate after these checks. The seven
retained live core cases remain bound to source
`3241a992f2a7703e59e97ed0fd3e5d6405de4401` and its recorded cloud image.

## Risks

- The security correction changes the dependency closure and profile
identity. Old sessions must reopen on the new profile. Exact identities
and credential bindings fail closed.
- The runner remains experimental and requires explicit selection.
Legacy Pi Local is unchanged. Caller model IDs pass through; the E2E
model is a fixture.
- Accounting and the broad platform/provider matrix remain deferred.
This merge does not publish a release or deploy a service.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex assisted with reasoning, repository
inspection, editing and tool use. The exact serving ID and context
window are not exposed in this session. Final live qualification uses Pi
1.0.0 with `openrouter/anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6` and native-confirmed
low thinking.

DottaandPaperclip 6f9d0a56ba fix: resolve installed Codex and preserve npm host dependencies (#15555)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Installed agents need their own runtime dependencies.
> - Native Codex startup and browser login could depend on a global CLI.
> - npm bundles do not inherit workspace dependency overrides or
patches.
> - Codex native packages must come from npm for the consumer host.
> - This PR fixes executable resolution and the required npm dependency
layout.
> - Usable installed CLI versions can run without a numeric version
gate.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #15422. This is a prerequisite for the later Codex-default change.

**What happened?**

Packaged native Codex startup and browser login could require a global
Codex CLI. The server's vendored runner lacked its own declared Codex
bridge. A bundled wrapper could retain producer-host binaries or select
the legacy adapter's separate platform version.

**Expected behavior**

Prefer the installed Codex executable. Accept usable older or newer
versions. Use the selected host's PATH when the dependency is absent.
Keep the patched JavaScript graph. Let npm install official native
packages for the consumer platform. Grant sandbox reads only to the
selected vendor resources.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Prepare a clean npm installation without a global Codex command.
2. Start native Codex or its browser login.
3. Inspect the selected executable, installed host package, and sandbox
resource paths.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Frozen master base: `1881894973a2b25838d8abed9bd8aeebc3af4441`.

**Deployment mode**

Source and packaged self-hosted installation.

## What Changed

- Share installed Codex command resolution across native startup, direct
evals, and browser login. Accept usable version differences. Preserve
explicit commands, recorded sessions, remote host boundaries, and the
Linux ARM64 legacy login path. Return safe errors for missing
executables and failed login terminals.
- Declare the server's Codex bridge. Retain the patched JavaScript
dependency graph in npm packages. Strip Codex native payloads. Declare
official optional host packages on the published server manifest so
native and legacy versions remain separate. Preserve consumer esbuild
platform dependencies.
- Adjust resource lookup for npm's separate platform packages. Retain
package identity, path containment, resolver ownership, and narrow
sandbox reads. Keep exact version and digest checks for explicit ACPX
artifact qualification.
- Extend existing packaging, installed-consumer, login, selection,
recovery, and integrity tests. Document the retained behavior.

The diff is now 23 files, 1,709 additions, and 53 deletions. The prior
diff had 35 files and about 3,700 changed lines. Removed work is
preserved on `codex/runner-packaging-full-snapshot` at
`6f3060beaa842ffcee21af058370d3cab5f571e9`.

Removed from this PR: release workflows and assembly, provider-pack
changes, Docker materialization, Git installer changes, extra login
HOME/working-directory isolation, and unrelated CI fixture repairs. This
PR does not change agent defaults, stored runner choices, UI, schema, or
provider qualification.

## Verification

- Final candidate: `dde37d7ed0121c10b60b8801eda80f8dc17909ad`. [All 47
ordinary CI jobs
passed](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37842288835)
on attempt 1, including typecheck, tests, build, E2E, runner checks, and
the installed-consumer canary. [Fresh Greptile
review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/15555#issuecomment-6059581546)
is 5/5 on this head; no unresolved threads remain. Human approval is
still outstanding.
- Reused focused controls passed with Node 24: 71 initial narrowed
checks, then 56 affected Codex/selection/eval checks after the relative
PATH correction. Runner TypeScript no-emit, syntax, and diff checks
passed. The existing fixture reproduces the original relative PATH
failure and verifies working-directory selection, empty entries,
ordering, and absolute launch. One CLI entrypoint test was initially
blocked by sandbox IPC and passed with its existing local socket
allowed. Login HOME, config-directory assignments, and working directory
match master.
- [The actual clean Linux npm
consumer](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37842288835/job/113535523044)
passed on the final candidate's CI integration. All 17 Paperclip
tarballs omit native Codex payloads. Official npm host packages retain
their own integrity and `inBundle=false`. Native Codex selects 0.160.0;
the legacy closure retains 0.156.1. Package admission, command leases,
narrow native sandbox resources, consumer hooks, preserved lock, and
offline lifecycle controls passed. Provider calls were zero. No new
workflow is added.
- Actual official Codex 0.156.1 passed on the final committed source on
macOS ARM64: installed dependency preference, absolute and relative PATH
fallback, narrow resource lookup, and app-server initialize/initialized.
Executed module hashes match the candidate. One scripts-disabled
install, three version probes, and one handshake completed in 26
seconds; owned files and process group were removed. No login,
account/model request, or provider task ran.
- CI checked out `dfda8e708e87306d22ed735d78bdfcbe770e99b7` on base
`65b558180533039a891ee0cd1ccab9988aa79adc`. Its 13 upstream paths do not
overlap this PR's 23 paths or alter packaging/Codex inputs. The consumer
report records producer `7b8e94c08657b5ddc265946459762340f125726c`,
after the existing canary staged a generated-lock-only commit (one file,
three insertions). These identities are kept separate; raw
generated-lock bytes were not retained.
- No local Docker or Rust build, paid provider turn, merge, or
deployment. Later PRs must prove live onboarding and production cloud
packaging before changing defaults.

## Risks

- npm must install optional host dependencies. Missing dependencies
still return errors. Paperclip tarballs do not pre-bundle Codex
executables.
- The repository requires CI-owned lockfile updates. PR CI resolves the
changed manifest and stages its own producer lockfile. A raw source
Docker build with `--frozen-lockfile` must wait for the existing master
lockfile bot to merge its refresh, or use a disposable resolved
checkout. No Docker build or deployment is qualified by this PR.
- Ordinary Codex startup accepts version differences. Actual protocol or
login failures remain errors. Explicit ACPX artifact checks retain their
release pins.
- The published server delegates platform installation outside its
bundled JavaScript graph. Focused negative controls reject unsafe
package metadata and paths. The hosted consumer test passed on this
candidate’s CI integration.
- Existing agents retain their stored runner choices. There is no data
migration or automatic upgrade. Release pipeline and platform
qualification work remain separate prerequisites for later defaults.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip fc6304dfe5 feat(runner): add experimental OpenAI Dot provider over MCP Events (#15402)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents, tasks, permissions, and execution
budgets.
> - Paperclip Runner gives each provider the same admitted task and tool
authority.
> - OpenAI Dot runs outside the local process tree and needs
asynchronous work delivery.
> - The merged MCP gateway supplies OAuth consent and signed event
delivery.
> - A personal assistant grant cannot safely stand in for an assigned
agent.
> - This pull request adds a separate Dot agent connection and a durable
Rust Runner bridge.
> - The operator can assign work to Dot and inspect its accepted work,
tool receipts, and result.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Agent or provider**

OpenAI Dot, as an experimental provider of the existing Paperclip Runner
adapter.

**Why this adapter is useful**

An operator can assign normal Paperclip tasks to an existing Dot. Dot
can read its mailbox, request work on an assigned task, use admitted
task tools, and submit a result. Paperclip keeps company scope,
checkout, approvals, known budget limits, and activity attribution.

**How the agent is invoked**

A dedicated `/mcp/runner` OAuth resource pairs one Dot grant with one
agent. A signed MCP mailbox event wakes Dot. Dot explicitly accepts the
assignment. The Rust Runner owns the durable turn and operation
receipts. The first release supports self-hosted instances with a local
Runner controller.

**Additional context**

This extends the merged public MCP gateway from #14846 and the assistant
invitation and device-consent work from #14933. This also integrates the
merged assistant tool and configuration expansion in #15380. Dot retains
its dedicated agent resource and cannot receive personal configuration
permission. The public assistant connection remains a personal
connection.

## What Changed

- Add a durable Rust Dot provider and its TypeScript Runner driver.
- Add closed PRP v3 external-provider operations and native execution
input v6.
- Add company-scoped pairing, mailbox, assignment, and operation
records.
- Reuse merged browser/device consent, client metadata verification,
webhook admissions, refresh, secret rotation, and warm-standby gates.
- Keep Dot scopes, issuer, grants, event workers, and tool access
separate from personal assistant access.
- Add Dot configuration, pairing, readiness, and consent UI. Keep agent
grants out of the personal Connections entry.
- Regenerate the Dot-only migration after master. Preserve published
gateway migrations. Make the new migration safe to reapply.
- Document setup, recovery, accounting limits, evidence, and remaining
account qualification.
- Reverify reconnect callbacks and wake outstanding work with a fresh
mailbox reference; preserve the existing assignment and operation
receipts.
- Clean up Dot bindings and waiting runs on OAuth revoke and
refresh-token replay. Old grants cannot revoke replacement bindings.
- Restore the pairing reference when an unsaved agent form is reopened;
document board-only pairing routes in OpenAPI.
- Accept a clean Rust exit after the acknowledged shutdown receipt.
Unexpected exits still require recovery.
- Clear the cached binding after a successful revoke so a failed
connection refresh cannot restore it.
- Add production-component Storybook states and screenshots for pairing
and connection review. All preview account data is synthetic.
- Persist normalized completion, serialize Dot turns and durable work
admission, and poll subscription readiness.
- Serialize mailbox writes and cursor reads; retain paused fence
acknowledgement without task authority.
- Authorize admitted review runs without changing the worker assignee.
Include the fenced assignment ID in production stop notices.

## Verification

- This PR integrates master `4a8178e9c`. Dot migration
`0317_messy_famine.sql` follows the published history and is safe to
reapply. The merge preserves the reserved migration connection,
batch-commit handling, private task checks, task monitors, and native
accounting.
- Local workspace typecheck, full build, and UI token gates pass. The
server typecheck passes after the review fixes. Database and native
executor regressions pass.
- All twelve real Rust/PostgreSQL Dot integration tests and twelve Dot
driver tests pass. The tests cover native document writing and
finalization, durable replay, queue admission, mailbox ordering,
admitted reviews, stale authority, production stop references, and
paused acknowledgements.
- Current head `d0e7e0626` passes all 57 checks: 53 pass and four are
intentionally skipped. This includes full typecheck, build, tests, Rust
Runner verification, browser E2E, release verification, and Canary Dry
Run. Greptile rates this exact head 5/5. All review threads are
resolved.
- The full local root test run is slower than the sharded CI run and has
not completed. The full CI test gates pass on the current commit.
Focused local regressions pass.
- Real-account pairing and event delivery on this base commit remain
unqualified. Live account and setup proof are recorded in the follow-up
#15414.

The following screenshots use synthetic preview data. They show the
production pairing component and do not qualify a real account or the
full agent setup journey.

![Synthetic connected
preview](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/codex/dot-events-prototype/doc/screenshots/openai-dot-runner/connected.jpg?raw=true)

## Risks

- This base adapter uses `PAPERCLIP_ENABLE_OPENAI_DOT=1` plus Public MCP
and Paperclip Runner. The separate experimental-settings follow-up in
#15414 replaces this environment flag with saved operator settings.
- Dot does not expose provider token usage or cost. The operator must
acknowledge external billing. Known Paperclip budget gates still apply.
- Cancellation fences Paperclip authority. It does not confirm that Dot
stopped all external activity.
- Assigned skill files and third-party MCP bindings are unsupported and
reject admission. There is no mounted workspace, model selector, or
provider thread identifier.
- Hosted agent-broker and remote controller deployments are not
qualified.
- The new migration follows the merged master history. Existing
prototype databases still need the normal master migration history
before this Dot-only migration.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6. The exact deployment ID and context window
size are not exposed in this session. Capabilities used: reasoning,
repository editing, code execution, and test inspection.

DottaandPaperclip f669194298 fix(runner): propagate configured environment to future turns (#15451)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native runners start provider processes and enforce a separate tool
environment policy.
> - The server resolves task environment bindings at each run boundary.
> - Fixed launch allowlists dropped custom variables after resolution.
> - Warm process reuse and a blanket fingerprint exclusion also hid
configuration changes.
> - This pull request carries a bounded, server-selected list of task
variable names through each process boundary.
> - The benefit is that later turns and tool commands receive configured
values while ambient host secrets stay excluded.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A native Codex agent could not use configured task credentials. Adding
the variables in Settings did not fix the next turn. The provider
sanitizer, runner launch, Rust provider launch, and shell policy each
used fixed allowlists. Effective config fingerprints also excluded all
variables with the `PAPERCLIP_` prefix.

**Expected behavior**

Explicitly bound task variables must reach provider processes and tool
commands. Added, changed, and removed values must take effect at the
next run boundary. A running turn keeps its original configuration.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a native Codex task without a custom environment binding.
2. Add a fake `PAPERCLIP_PAGE_BUCKET` value and a fake Pages credential
binding in Settings.
3. Continue the task and inspect the tool environment.
4. Before this fix, those values are absent even from a fresh runner
launch.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced at `b31558064`. The fix is rebased on current master.

**Deployment mode**

Self-hosted server with a native process runner.

Related changes: [the legacy Codex MCP environment
fix](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13321) and [ambient
server-secret
exclusion](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/12870). These
affect different launch paths. This change preserves their credential
boundaries.

## What Changed

- Capture scoped task bindings after resolution, before managed provider
credential injection. Mint and validate the names-only projection at
native dispatch before host inheritance. Legacy adapters retain their
previous environment limits.
- Strip user-supplied projection markers from agent, environment,
project, and routine config.
- Carry selected values through the Codex, ACPX, OpenCode, runnerd, and
Rust subprocess launch boundaries.
- Add selected names to native and ACPX Codex shell include lists. Keep
selected values out of command arguments, including selected bootstrap
values.
- Reject malformed projections, reserved authority and loader names,
missing values, null bytes, and oversized input.
- Replace a retained native process when projected values change. Keep
unchanged processes reusable.
- Fingerprint custom namespaced variables while excluding known
generated runtime variables.
- Document next-run behavior and add regression coverage.

## Verification

- Red: the permanent reproduction failed at four launch/tool boundaries
and the namespaced fingerprint check. Two control checks passed.
- Green: the initial regression plus existing Codex environment and
shell tests passed (39 tests).
- Server config resolution, fingerprints, and native-session suites
passed (653 tests), including addition, rotation, removal, and unchanged
warm-session reuse.
- Rust regression tests passed. A real shell child received added and
rotated values, then lost them after removal. Unselected host variables
stayed absent.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed after rebase. The full
`pnpm test:run` was attempted but could not complete: fresh embedded
PostgreSQL databases fail during bootstrap on this macOS host. An
isolated suite and a disposable native `initdb` probe reproduced the
failure before test execution. `shmget` reports `No space left on
device` because the host has exhausted shared-memory IDs. This is not
disk exhaustion. The run was stopped after confirming the external setup
failure. CI results will be recorded separately.
- Runner boundary suites: 361 tests passed. Two process-launch errors
during concurrent binary staging passed on isolated rerun.
- Rust Codex provider and process supervisor integration suites: 97
passed, 2 intentionally ignored.
- ACPX shell and selected-bootstrap argv regressions: 3 failed before
the fix, then all 55 relevant tests passed.
- Review compatibility regression: 129-variable and large-value legacy
configurations failed before the correction and passed after moving
native-only validation to dispatch.
- Final review head `3f11e8d25`: repository typechecks and production
build passed. CI completed its implementation checks; one general-server
shard hit SQL `40P01` in `heartbeat-runtime-skills.test.ts` during its
`beforeEach` table truncate (1,199 tests passed in that shard). The
shard passed on its single rerun. All CI checks for this head are green.
Greptile reviewed this head at 5/5 with no new actionable findings; the
compatibility thread is resolved.
- No live provider credentials or model calls are required by these
tests.

## Risks

- Configured task credentials now reach the tools they were configured
for. The controller selects names only after existing scope and
secret-binding authorization.
- TypeScript and Rust validate the same bounded projection. Their
reserved-name rules must stay aligned.
- A changed projection replaces an idle provider process. Unchanged
values preserve reuse. Active turns retain their original environment.
- No database migration or API schema change.

> This fixes existing runner configuration behavior. It does not add a
new roadmap capability.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-6 (Codex), with reasoning, local code execution, and
repository tools. The session does not expose a more specific API model
identifier or context window size.

DottaandPaperclip a6306ba606 feat(runner): consolidate Cursor production integration (#15075)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The native Runner keeps provider sessions under company authority,
approvals, budgets and durable recovery.
> - Cursor work was spread across candidate branches. The published
branch lacked later plan, permission and cleanup fixes.
> - Production also needs public installation and matching runtime
assets for local and Daytona execution.
> - This pull request consolidates Cursor onto current mainline recovery
behavior and completes that installation path.
> - The installed v11 release passed focused local and Daytona
qualification after the generic mode and lifecycle cleanup. The later
model-selection correction and current mainline merge produce v14
artifacts that need matching release qualification.
> - Cursor admission is enabled in source; publish only an artifact
combination with matching qualification. Native AskQuestion and complete
per-run dollar accounting remain excluded.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #14435, #14631, #14669, #14699, #14724.

This completes the Cursor implementation by @cryppadotta from combined
source `22c78242a4e0c2369fecf0c2dc4e7600fbad6706`. It preserves newer
mainline recovery, completion and warm-directory behavior. Pi and
Copilot remain gated.

## What Changed

- Generate named Rust and TypeScript ACPX release profiles from one
manifest. Share runtime pins with packaging and server verification.
Preserve vendor runtime versions; bind the updated ACPX patch to Cursor
profile v14 and reject stale generated declarations at build/typecheck.
- Remove ACPX model allowlists, including the former Codex and Pi
restrictions and the duplicate developer test-drive gate. Send any
explicit model ID unchanged to its provider and verify the effective
selection before prompting. The bundled ACPX package forwards unlisted
IDs, rejects mismatched acknowledgements, and restores the exact
selection after session load. It does not expand Cursor model aliases.
Provider rejection, mismatch, or missing model controls fails without a
fallback. Model examples live in evaluation fixtures, outside runtime
declarations.

- Add pinned Cursor execution, contained instructions, exact model
verification and Agent/Plan/Ask modes.
- Carry an opaque generic `mode` identifier in shared native execution,
sidecar, Rust and recovery contracts. The provider adapter owns
supported modes, defaults, native translation and acknowledgement.
- Keep native RPC recognition, accepted-plan interpretation and
permission evidence behind provider adapters. Shared settlement and
recovery verify normalized facts and their committed evidence.
- Replace the Cursor-only warm-attachment branch with a runner-owned
capability. Only Cursor opts into it. Move profile compatibility and
optional usage parsing into provider metadata and adapters.
- Write generic plan-wait receipts. Read exact historical Cursor
receipts through a separate compatibility decoder. Reject mixed formats
and preserve existing authority checks.
- Carry native plans, semantic questions, todos, child activity,
permission identities and partial usage diagnostics through the Runner.
- Preserve durable response delivery, cancellation, warm ownership and
process retirement.
- Finish accepted planning runs successfully. Keep their tasks open for
explicit direction. Acceptance does not start implementation.
- Ship `paperclipai runtime setup cursor` and its provisioner through
the public package. npm installation does not download Cursor. Setup
uses the OS account's closure-keyed cache so system-wide npm packages
can remain read-only. Run it as the Paperclip service account.
- Include Cursor in normal provider packs and Daytona images for macOS
ARM64/x64 and Linux x64.
- Reject stale release packs by source revision and current ACPX/Cursor
pins before assembly writes files. Verify current Cursor
version/profile/closure again at runtime.
- Ship all three daemon targets and the expected Linux image-pack
identity. A macOS controller uses its packaged Linux daemon for Daytona.
Image mismatches fail before provider launch.
- Use the vendored Runner boundary for installed readiness probes.
Verify the actual installed Cursor probe.
- Verify compiled public Daytona plugins and their release versions in
installed smokes.
- Record exact artifacts, the acceptance matrix, retained failures,
supported capabilities and rollback behavior in the [readiness
report](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/codex/cursor-production-readiness/doc/plans/2026-10-03-cursor-production-readiness.md).

## Verification

- Current head `f7ec5cc1f0e30c62a829c016ff2013a2a9d79037` merges
mainline `faa8e452c73bae5e044dd6379179a00106abb131`. It keeps Cursor
plan and cancellation guards alongside mainline historical-question
filtering. The evaluation catalog includes both Cursor and expanded
adapter accounting cases (683 total). Recursive typecheck, full build,
696 lifecycle/recovery tests, 45 fixture tests and fixture typecheck
passed. Current-head CI passed: 56 successful checks, one neutral and
four skipped. [Complete
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37557996535).
The fresh Base Greptile review is 5/5 on this exact head, with 304 files
reviewed, zero new comments and zero unresolved threads. The user
authorized overriding the CODEOWNER review gate after checks passed; no
failing checks are overridden. Prior results below retain their own head
identities.
- Corrective head `3d2b168366258036f6b6a6fccb382c49138cc601` fixes the
post-merge Apex finding. Automatic-review and new-evidence
reconciliation preserve pending child results and recheck delivery under
the status lock before completing. Account repair now excludes unrelated
secret consumers and requires the failed agent's identity. Regression
coverage includes the commit race, delivery statuses,
current-run/current-intent exclusions, repeated reconciliation, both
database reconciliation paths, and credential consumer boundaries. All
184 affected tests, server typecheck and server build passed.
Current-head Base Greptile review is 5/5, with 304 files reviewed, zero
new comments and zero unresolved threads. Current-head CI passed: 56
successful checks, one neutral and four skipped. [Complete
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37535994724).
This Base review is distinct from the earlier Apex review.
- Merge head `5957c257a` reconciles mainline `b508a05c4`. It preserves
both accepted-plan waits and pending-child-completion checks, current
provider selectors, task-creation response identities, and mainline ACPX
missing-file handling. The combined patch is bound to Cursor profile
v14; historical records keep their original identities.
- Merge head `5957c257a` passed recursive typecheck, full build, 43
installed ACPX/package contracts, 107 provider UI and plan/recovery
tests, 593 database-backed lifecycle tests, 49 profile/native contract
tests, 45 Product E2E fixture tests, fixture typecheck, token gates,
three provider-free browser task-creation cases, and Runner
conformance/replay checks. Its complete CI passed (55 successful checks,
one neutral and four skipped), while Apex returned 2/5 with a
child-delivery finding addressed below.
- The local full-suite attempt again failed the unchanged Git streaming
test (360-second timeout) and was stopped. The concurrent local Rust
attempt failed four unchanged Codex process/deadline tests; all four
passed serially without code changes in 7.29 seconds after removing the
competing test load. These failed commands are retained and are not
reported as full-suite passes; the fresh Linux CI runs are tracked
separately.
- The previous head `907bdb2a2778c7ffeb4a662a91460c9d1ddfc9c5` earned
Apex 5/5 with zero comments after fixing all three findings: per-user
install cache, stale release-pack rejection, and public Linux smoke
account/home handling. Its real built installer passed from read-only
public packages on macOS ARM64 and Linux x64. All 137 release-registry
checks and 64 ACPX package contracts passed. That review does not cover
this mainline reconciliation.
- Prior `beadd3654` passed the full CI matrix; its one unchanged chat
test failure and successful single retry remain in the [CI
history](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37521449327).
Historical results below remain attributed to their original builds.

- Fixture follow-up `dd59d7e82b103a88b7cbd7d2c38b612c0fbbff7a` removes
provider-specific model choices from generic offline ACPX tests. The
fake sidecar preserves the model and session identity selected at open
through suspension. Affected verification passed: 106 Rust tests and 73
TypeScript tests. This commit changes test code only; the
production-code checks below retain their recorded identities. Its CI
and Greptile review later passed; those results belong to that
historical head.
- Model-selection cleanup `9a070808b48960a41fdfd369ae0636b95af82459`:
252 focused Runner tests passed (six platform skips), covering all six
ACPX agents, native model acknowledgement, rejected selections,
installation integrity and recovery identity. The merged branch passed
recursive typecheck, full build, token gates, server admission (19
tests), and the Product E2E catalog (45 tests). The acceptance catalog
passed all four tests. The full Rust suite passed: 643 tests, 2 ignored.
It verifies sidecar acknowledgement of unlisted models and rejection of
model mismatches. The final commits only update Rust tests; production
sources match the verified build at
`65ec3279ac50185e3cda109b5cfd9b4f56105de0`. No new paid provider calls
were made.
- The merge preserves both Cursor and the new mainline public-MCP
fixture cases. Auto-merge remains disabled; the latest follow-up status
is recorded above. The local `pnpm test:run` attempt hit the unchanged
Git streaming test's 300-second timeout and was interrupted before
merging mainline. The broad Runner attempt found obsolete single-model
assertions plus three macOS fixture-path failures caused by a
`/private/tmp` override. The assertions are corrected; affected
TypeScript checks passed with the standard macOS temporary directory,
and the complete Rust suite passed. Neither interrupted command is a
full-suite pass.
- Earlier declaration-cleanup head `6f4a5e9e2` passed recursive
typecheck, build, Rust and focused tests. Its CI later exposed a test
expecting duplicated Grok digest literals. The current source fixes that
assertion to compare launcher bytes with the shared manifest. Historical
successes and failed attempts are retained; no new live provider
qualification is claimed.
- Previous head `e75fde6098b0ddd8cec765bfb6ecaeecb88a26a6` passed
complete CI (56 successful checks, one neutral, four skipped) and
Greptile 5/5. [Historical complete
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37489112305).
Those results are not claimed for the cleanup head.
- Frozen live application: `d7b696f9b8f79095233e9e3d56d23e6a6018dd48`.
Public package version: `0.0.0-cursor-verify.3d0c9b7761c6`. The
declaration cleanup preserves release pins and does not relabel that
tested artifact as a build of the new source. Mainline through
`e34abee670` was reconciled while preserving accepted-plan waits,
provider-capacity handling, and both Cursor and public-MCP fixtures.
- Clean normal installation, explicit Cursor setup and daemon resolution
passed on macOS ARM64, macOS x64 under Rosetta, and Linux x64. npm
lifecycle hooks ran without silently downloading Cursor.
- Historical v11 live matrix: **18/18 passed with cleanup** (nine local,
nine Daytona) after the generic mode and lifecycle cleanup. The campaign
has 23 attempts; all five failures and their diagnoses remain recorded.
Exact case identities, hashes and limits are in the readiness report.
All provider calls are real, use the explicit Luna model and
company-bound credentials, and run without qualification or
runtime-asset overrides.
- The immutable Daytona image is
`ghcr.io/paperclipai/paperclip-daytona-runner@sha256:d6259b6bba094702c13fc2283bd85550849c1c53145b656fb2746778f9fa1747`.
The public Daytona plugin is installed independently and its version is
checked.
- Recursive typecheck, full build, token gates and Runner
contract/conformance/replay checks passed on the frozen application. Its
complete Linux CI suite passed. The duplicate local full-suite command
was incomplete after timing failures; affected repeats passed, but that
command is not reported as a clean pass.
- Qualification fixtures passed typecheck, 1,675 Vitest tests (one
skip), 128 Node checks, three provider-free browser tests, and 150
focused lifecycle tests after the final diagnostic correction. The
affected legacy Cursor command file also passed all five tests after
removing its shorter 10-second override; it now inherits the suite’s
standard 15-second timeout. Greptile is 5/5 on `e75fde609` with no
unresolved review threads. CI results above are recorded separately from
historical build results.

## Risks

- Cursor v14 includes the updated ACPX dependency patch and release
identity. The v11 live matrix and image below remain historical
evidence. They do not certify new v14 package/image artifacts.

- ACPX accepts models beyond the qualification fixtures. Availability
and entitlement depend on the provider. Successful configuration is not
a claim of live qualification for every model.
- Shared mode is an opaque identifier. Provider adapters own its
meaning. Incompatible historical sessions remain fenced; exact committed
plan waits and task history remain inspectable.
- Native AskQuestion is excluded. Paperclip semantic questions are
supported. Authoritative per-run dollar accounting is unavailable;
partial counters remain diagnostics and unknown cost is not zero.
- Image input, detailed native diffs, deeper child transcripts and
native plan-file export remain follow-ups.
- macOS x64 has clean-install and daemon-startup proof under Rosetta,
not a separate live campaign on Intel hardware.
- Release only the tested package/image combination. Merging this PR
does not publish npm packages or deploy that image. Later builds need
their own release verification. Rollback disables new Cursor admission
while preserving records and recovery inspection.
- A model can fail an exact instruction: one cancelled-plan attempt
returned the wrong summary marker despite correct cancellation. The
unchanged repeat passed; both results remain in the report.

> ROADMAP.md was checked. This completes existing native Runner/Cursor
work; it does not add an independent core feature proposal.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6. The exact serving variant and context window are
not exposed in this session. The agent used reasoning, repository
inspection, code execution, protocol tests and browser-backed Product
E2E tools. Cursor acceptance uses the explicit
`gpt-5.6-luna[context=272k,reasoning=medium,fast=false]` model. That is
the evaluated provider model.

DottaandPaperclip 63f3aa2dbf fix(runner): continue restart-interrupted Codex turns (#15297)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native runs retain their provider conversation across server
restarts.
> - A dead runner can restore a Codex conversation after its active turn
is lost.
> - The old recovery path synthesized a failed task result from that
interruption.
> - The task then required operator action even though its conversation
and workspace were available.
> - This pull request preserves the interruption cause and uses the
admitted restart attempt for one continuation in the same conversation.
> - The agent can reconcile unfinished actions and complete the current
request without resending the original task.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #12845 added native restart recovery. #15042 covers admission
during shutdown. #14796 covers legacy shutdown recovery. This change
covers a lost native Codex turn after successful conversation
restoration.

**What happened?**

After a server restart killed the local runner, Paperclip restored the
saved Codex thread. Runnerd found that the old turn was no longer
active. It synthesized a failed terminal and a needs-review result from
the last progress message. The transport also discarded the terminal
error when it reconstructed thread history. The task failed instead of
continuing.

**Expected behavior**

After proving that the old process stopped and admitting a bounded
recovery attempt, resume the current request in the same conversation.
Preserve the workspace. Inspect unfinished actions before proceeding.
Keep real provider failures, accepted results, intentional stops,
unknown unreconciled effects, and exhausted attempts subject to their
existing rules.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a local native Codex run and leave its turn active.
2. Kill the isolated runner and provider processes, as can happen during
a server restart.
3. Restore the same provider thread with no active turn.
4. Observe the synthetic task failure. The new real-process regression
reproduces this boundary with a scripted provider.

## What Changed

- Record an explicit recoverable process-loss cause without inventing a
task result.
- Preserve terminal errors and prior turns in reconstructed provider
history. Recover the authoritative saved result when adopting an
accepted continuation.
- Send one continuation in the same conversation for an admitted
dead-runner recovery. Require reconciliation of unfinished commands and
external actions.
- Persist the interrupted terminal before submission and retain the
existing recovery marker across another controller loss.
- Keep provider attempt limits, terminal failures, and intentional
cancellation behavior.
- Add red/green regressions, real process-kill coverage, restart
checkpoint coverage, and retry-budget coverage. Document the behavior
and run-log evidence.

## Verification

- Red: the new native runtime regression rejected with
`NativeProviderTerminalFailure` on the original code; the Rust restore
regression found a missing recovery cause.
- Red/green: if restoring the conversation fails and replacement is
allowed, the replacement receives the full task and fresh-session
handoff. Both prepared and legacy execution inputs are covered.
- Red: a second controller crash after the provider accepted the
continuation caused an extra `turn/start`. The regression now proves
there are exactly two submissions total: the original and its
continuation.
- Green: focused runtime, backend, driver recovery, and real-process
restart suites (207 tests). After the final history/result changes,
driver recovery and real-process restart suites passed again (36 tests).
- Green: complete Codex transport suite (186 tests), server restart
classification/database integration suites (34 tests), and Rust Codex
provider suite (92 passed, 2 ignored).
- Full `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed on `60141e649`. The
subsequent replacement-prompt guard passed the Runner TypeScript check
and the complete runtime plus process-restart suites (148 tests).
- Local full-suite attempt: `pnpm test:run` reported two failures in the
untouched chat integration suite. Both passed individually, and the
complete chat suite passed on rerun (1,063 tests). After all remote test
shards passed, the duplicate serial local run was stopped with SIGINT;
it is not claimed as a full local-suite pass.
- Latest-head CI (`b1297dcd4`): 55 successful checks and 4 intentionally
skipped checks, including all test shards, typecheck, build, native
Runner verification, end-to-end tests, and canary dry run. [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37405346303).
- Greptile: 5/5 on the latest head, with no unresolved review threads.
The PR is mergeable.
- The process tests use the real runner binary and a scripted Codex
provider. They do not call a live model service.

## Risks

- This changes local Codex recovery after process loss. A continuation
can execute more work in the retained conversation. Its prompt requires
state inspection before repeating an uncertain action; the system does
not replay tool calls.
- Recovery shares the existing three-attempt budget and one-shot
continuation marker. Real failures and older unmarked failed checkpoints
are not reopened.
- No database migration or API change is required.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6. The exact model ID and context-window
size are not exposed in this session.
- Capabilities: reasoning, source inspection, tool use, code editing,
code execution, and test analysis.

DottaandPaperclip 2ec82c5774 fix(runner): preserve task context when tool connections change (#14963)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents use tools through company-scoped connections and provider
sessions.
> - Resolving a tool connection currently forces a fresh session even
when the provider can load new tools into the existing conversation.
> - A fresh provider conversation can receive too little history to
continue the task.
> - This pull request adds explicit tool-refresh capabilities and uses
them in both runner paths.
> - Fresh attempts receive bounded task history with source IDs and
retrieval instructions.
> - The benefit is that agents can continue the same task after a
connection changes.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A resolved tool connection forced a fresh provider conversation. The new
conversation could lose the original goal and prior answers. Claude also
rejected resume when only the MCP server set changed.

**Expected behavior**

Resume the provider conversation when its harness can refresh tools.
When a fresh session is required, supply enough bounded history to
continue the task. Preserve company, agent, task, workspace, model,
instruction, and skill checks.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a conversation and agree on a task and its constraints.
2. Request and connect a tool needed for the task.
3. Continue the conversation after the connection resolves.
4. Check that the agent remembers the task and can use the new tool.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The bug was reproduced on master at `c46e41e81`. This branch is rebased
on current master.

**Deployment mode**

Self-hosted server. Both legacy adapters and the native runner are
affected.

Related public work: Refs #13282 for task-backed conversations. Refs
#13057 for the broader session-compaction proposal. Refs #14659 for
another report about local CLI session continuity. This change fixes
tool-connection continuation. Provider authentication repairs keep their
existing recovery behavior.

## What Changed

- Expose tool-refresh support in native harness descriptors and legacy
adapter metadata.
- Request tool refresh after connection resolution. Keep provider
authentication repair as a fresh-session wake.
- Reload current tools and credentials while retaining supported Claude,
Codex, Grok, and other provider conversations.
- Allow MCP-only changes during qualified native recovery. Keep all
other compatibility checks.
- Refresh managed-provider and ACPX tool bindings when attaching a new
run.
- Add a fresh-session handoff for both runner paths. Bound database
reads, excerpts, and the final packet to 24,000 bytes.
- Include the original request, recent messages, decisions, plans, prior
answers, and source IDs. Mark omitted content. Apply reset boundaries,
wake cutoffs, quarantine, and secret redaction.
- Add regression tests and document the capabilities and handoff
behavior.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed. Rust formatting passed.
- Final review fixes passed 314 server tests, 333 adapter utility tests,
139 native-session runtime tests, and 12 managed-provider Rust tests.
They verify historical quarantine, raised budgets across attachment, no
history reads on successful resume, and handoff delivery on fresh retry.
- Broader branch verification also passed 1,401 adapter utility tests,
1,047 runner TypeScript tests, 43 Grok adapter tests, and 311 Rust core
tests.
- Live Claude CLI and Grok ACP probes preserved the provider session ID,
recalled a prior task constraint, and called a newly added read-only MCP
tool.
- GitHub CI passed on `b21486d18084a7aa4cafbe8e012f7cad6585d9cc`: 55
successful checks and 4 skipped checks. This includes all test shards,
all eight browser shards, runner checks, and the Grok clean public npm
install canary. [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37057514976).
- A full local test attempt encountered a separate Git snapshot timeout.
All affected local suites passed after the final edits, and the full CI
test gates passed.
- Review the capability matrix in `packages/paperclip-runner/README.md`.
Repeat the four reproduction steps with a supported provider and with an
unsupported harness.

## Risks

- Provider tool refresh can fail. Existing recovery falls back to a
fresh conversation where policy permits it.
- A new transport can replace an old process while preserving the
provider conversation. Tests cover current credentials and unchanged
identity.
- Long history can omit older context. Explicit markers and source IDs
let the agent retrieve needed context within task scope.
- Unknown and unqualified harnesses use the fresh-session path. No
database migration is required.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with reasoning, tool use, code execution, and live
provider testing. The exact model ID and context-window size are not
exposed in this session. Claude and Grok also ran as test subjects.

DottaandPaperclip 94e8dec56b fix(runner): preserve tool outcomes through shutdown and restart (#14734)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The runner sends authorized tool calls to the server and saves their
results.
> - A provider turn can stop while a server write is still running.
> - The old shutdown path invented a failed result that could conflict
with the real result.
> - Truncated execution input and incomplete recovery records made the
failure harder to diagnose.
> - This pull request preserves exact inputs and actual outcomes through
shutdown and restart.
> - Tests force the race and crash boundaries so safe retries do not
repeat writes.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Stopping a turn during a server tool call could record a false failure,
then reject the actual result as a conflict. The diagnostic input
formatter could truncate instruction content before execution. A crash
during saved-result delivery could leave that delivery permanently
indeterminate. Cleanup could hide the first failure, and a retry could
overwrite earlier run logs.

**Expected behavior**

Keep dispatched tools pending until their actual result is known.
Preserve accepted input bytes. Accept identical result delivery without
failing the task. Reject conflicting results with enough evidence to
diagnose them. Recover saved-result delivery without repeating the
business operation.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Hold an instruction update at the filesystem commit barrier.
2. Stop its provider turn before the server returns the result.
3. Release the write, deliver its result, and replay the same result.
4. Repeat with a restart before and after the delivery receipt is saved.
5. Check that there is one write and one audit row, and that the exact
result survives.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The change was developed from `44736c9c7` and rebased onto `0e5830887`.

**Deployment mode**

Self-hosted server with the native runner. Tests use local runner
processes, scripted providers, and PostgreSQL.

Related work: #12353 added durable semantic tool receipts; #12384 added
durable Codex tool recovery; #12404 bound semantic tools to ACPX
sessions. #14633 covers separate native-provider cancellation and
qualification work. This PR addresses server semantic-tool outcomes and
their durable delivery. No duplicate fix was found. AgentMail discovery
is outside this PR.

## What Changed

- Close turn admission without inventing results for dispatched tools.
Keep pending calls and accept late actual results.
- Accept identical result replay with a diagnostic warning. Include call
identity and both result hashes in real conflict errors.
- Preserve exact execution arguments. Reject prohibited or oversized
input before dispatch. Keep diagnostic previews redacted and bounded.
- Commit instruction-attempt evidence before the filesystem write. Save
completed mutation receipts so concurrent and restarted duplicates
return the first result. Recheck authorization before replay. An attempt
without a completed result stays unknown and cannot execute again.
Definite pre-write failures save and replay their original error without
another write.
- Recover an interrupted saved-result delivery only for backends with
durable result receipts. Never replay an ordinary business operation
with an unknown outcome.
- Preserve the initiating error when cleanup also fails. Record
incomplete settlement evidence. Propagate typed unknown-outcome errors
through the native tool wrapper without creating a false completed tool
result.
- Append run-log attempts and restore the durable log before appending
after local file loss. Reject incomplete restores. Publish a restored
prefix only if the destination is absent so concurrent attempts cannot
overwrite new lines.
- Add deterministic race, crash, replay, authorization, exact-content,
and log-restoration tests. Document their assertions in
`packages/paperclip-runner/docs/durable-recovery.md`.

## Verification

- Current head: `7e088f4c7fba8ebabf98ae95485a5753b013d489`. All 55
applicable checks pass; four conditional/manual checks are skipped. This
includes build, typecheck, Rust, both runner TypeScript shards, server
and workspace tests, all eight browser shards, isolated runner
compilation, and the clean-install release dry run. [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36746101110).
- Greptile reviewed this exact head at 5/5 with zero new findings. All
three earlier review threads are resolved.
- Focused local verification includes 11 instruction integration tests,
23 surrounding authority/tool tests, 26 run-log tests, and 169
controller/driver tests. The post-rebase controller/transport/runtime
selection passed 415 tests. The full Rust release suite passed 617 tests
with two ignored. The real-process SIGKILL recovery test passed three
consecutive runs.
- The fault matrix in
`packages/paperclip-runner/docs/durable-recovery.md` uses explicit
barriers, real PostgreSQL rollback, durable journal reloads, and killed
runner processes. It covers late results, identical and conflicting
replay, exact long content, concurrent log restoration, lost commit
acknowledgements, and definite failure replay after the original CAS
base becomes valid again. No paid model calls are needed.
- Full local recursive typecheck and build passed during implementation.
Server typecheck and the runner TypeScript build passed after the review
fixes. The broad local repository test run was stopped after repeated
database startup timeouts. Four timing/launch failures in an earlier
broad runner run passed focused reruns without changed assertions or
timeouts. These are local verification limitations; the complete
current-head CI suite is green. An earlier CI workspace job received an
infrastructure shutdown signal; its current-head replacement passed.

## Risks

- A stopped turn can remain blocked when a dispatched operation has no
proven result. The system does not guess its outcome or rerun its
effect.
- Conflicting results still fail settlement. Existing failed or
conflicting journals are not repaired automatically.
- Accepted semantic input is limited to 480 KiB of encoded JSON to fit
the encrypted transport. Larger input fails before execution.
- Instruction filesystem writes and database receipts are not one atomic
storage operation. A separately committed attempt and audit record
survive rollback. An attempt without a completed success or definite
pre-write failure receipt remains blocked as an unknown outcome. It is
not replayed or reported as success.
- Run-log restoration now reads the durable object before appending when
the local log is missing. Failed or incomplete reads reject the append.
- No schema migration, dependency change, workflow change, or AgentMail
change is included.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 992f720262 fix: make runner task context ownership explicit (#13753)
<!-- Write all pull request text in Simplified Technical English
(ASD-STE100). -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Task descriptions, comments, continuation data, skills, and
execution rules enter several agent adapters.
> - The same source can be rendered by more than one automatic input
carrier.
> - Failed resumes can also rebuild input from stale or compact context.
> - This pull request gives each Paperclip-owned source one delivery
owner and preserves the required transport boundaries.
> - It adds deterministic adapter, interaction, runner, and browser
tests for these boundaries.
> - The benefit is more predictable context delivery with explicit
evidence for later live qualification.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #13144 removes a duplicate environment payload and bounds wake
lists. Related: #11360 addresses Hermes resume behavior. This pull
request preserves compatible active-session formats while repairing
context ownership and stale question creation.

**What happened?**

Task descriptions and comments could enter more than one automatic
context block. Native transports could wrap a complete model input in a
second task envelope. Some legacy and gateway adapters could omit the
owned assignment on ordinary tasks or rebuild a failed resume with stale
compact context. A continuation could also request a question after
newer human comments had arrived.

**Expected behavior**

Each task or comment source has one automatic model-facing owner.
Distinct comment IDs and repeated wording remain distinct. Fresh
fallback attempts rebuild the required full context. A question request
is rejected when newer queued human direction makes it stale. Harness
access policy remains owned by execution configuration.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Build a task with a description and current comments.
2. Capture the actual adapter or runner input.
3. Compare source ownership and task-envelope nesting.
4. Queue a human comment before a continuation requests a question.
5. Trigger a failed resume and inspect the fresh retry input.
6. Run the focused adapter, interaction, runner, and browser checks.

## What Changed

- Add shared prompt-section selection at the provider-attempt boundary.
- Deliver owned assignment context through native, legacy CLI, ACP,
gateway, cloud, Pi, Kimi, Grok, Gemini, OpenCode, Cursor, OpenClaw, and
Hermes paths.
- Rebuild full or compact context after resume recovery changes the
attempt. Add native and Claude ACP tests of actual recovery requests.
- Preserve custom templates, loaded instruction files, execution
policies, and older active-session formats.
- Record continuation source metadata and reject stale question creation
under the issue-row lock.
- Add explicit Product E2E context-integrity profiles, prerequisite
gates, credential-isolation checks, and report fixtures.
- Bypass service-worker forwarding for same-origin Vite development
modules. A real Chromium test fails with resource exhaustion before the
repair and passes after it. Production asset caching keeps its existing
policy.
- Add browser diagnostics and service-worker module-loading regressions.
- Add an explicit zero-retry eval option. The default retry behavior
remains unchanged. Each campaign records its effective policy.
- Remove the model-facing working-directory sentence from four prompt
builders. Existing workspace, sandbox, permission, and custom-template
configuration remains unchanged.
- Align the everyday workflow assertion with the current 47-entry
catalog.

Compared with current upstream master, the branch carries the
context-ownership implementation and its tests, the explicit
context-integrity catalog and evidence harness, and the focused browser
regression checks.

## Verification

**Merge assessment:** focused regression evidence supports merge. This
is not full completion of the original broad qualification matrix. The
maintainer has authorized merge after fresh verification of the master
integration.

- Current head: `bbd52f82114eabf09bc7b1a7e97d54a5b43bbc00`. This
integrates current master `2f585ef26a1814fa209715242d1ca791b63e4c4e`.
All 14 conflicts are resolved. Cancellation checks, workspace
finalization, native Grok support, and both sets of tests are retained.
- Current-head Greptile: **5/5**, with no blocking findings. The review
names this exact commit. All **59 reported checks are terminal: 55
successful, 4 skipped, zero pending or failing**. This includes the full
root general and serialized suites, separate runner checks, typecheck,
build, canary, browser E2E, Docker, and security checks. The successful
legacy security status is included in that total.
- After integration: workspace typecheck and full build passed. Separate
runner checks passed: **2,160 TypeScript tests (10 skipped), 582 Rust
tests, and 39 preparation checks**. Other passing checks include 621
Product E2E harness units, 376 focused shared/adapter tests, 160
real-database/API tests, 86 Hermes tests, 18 browser-support checks, and
Product E2E typechecking. The complete root suite passed in CI. The
duplicate local monolithic root run was stopped after that CI result; it
is not counted as a completed local pass.
- New native recovery coverage retains full assignment, completion
contract, and explicit skill selection after safe replacement, for old
and prepared input formats. Full native session test file: **136/136
passed**.
- New Claude ACP coverage captures actual fresh, resumed, and
missing-session fallback requests. It verifies one assignment copy,
comment order, identical text under distinct comment IDs, and full
fallback context. Full file: **33/33 passed**. Both affected TypeScript
checks passed.
- Existing deterministic tests cover source revisions, approval and
trust boundaries, completion validation, custom templates, compatible
sessions, standalone driver wrapping, and maintained adapter transport
requests.
- Provider-free browser support: **17/17 passed** after the master
merge. Service-worker unit tests: **33/33 passed**. The module-overload
regression failed before the repair and passed after it in real
Chromium.

### Fresh live comparisons

The new batch ran exactly four Product E2E attempts. **All four passed
on the first attempt; no retries.** Each has six terminal matchers plus
the existing browser lifecycle and invariant checks.

| Exact case ID | Control | Candidate |
|---|---|---|
| `core-compatibility.runner-codex.local.plan-revise-accept` | Passed |
Passed |
|
`local-session-integrity.runner-acpx-claude.local.structured-question-restart-resume`
| Passed | Passed |

The plan case checks a revised canonical plan and revision-bound
approval before completion. The question case restarts the server before
submitting the answer, then verifies the continuation completes.

Control source is `dfa4e1bda8d50a1a01746603251a9128dbe9d0d6`. Candidate
source is `79fcdb5dece501d28064ea9da306603881b46f0c`. They use identical
frozen definitions and provider versions: Codex `0.156.0` with
`gpt-5.6-sol`; ACPX `0.13.1` / Claude ACP `0.73.0` with
`claude-sonnet-5`. The September 24 head added master browser recovery
and test-only changes. The September 28 head also integrates newer
master changes, including cancellation, workspace finalization, and
native Grok. These are frozen-source live results, not exact-head live
runs.

The candidate received one description copy where the control initially
received three. The submitted initial plan envelopes were 7,969 versus
19,097 characters. Question envelopes were 7,592 versus 18,919. These
are structural measurements, not whole-provider token or dollar savings.

### Earlier evidence and failed attempts

- The preceding fresh batch has four effective passing pairs: OpenCode
comment continuation and assigned skill, native Codex comment
continuation, and native Claude comment continuation. It retains **11
attempts: eight passed and three failed**.
- Original failures remain recorded: missing local PostgreSQL library
links before task creation; host-sleep cleanup after task/page checks
passed; and a Claude **control** session-open rejection before a model
turn. Setup was repaired identically on both worktrees. The permitted
unchanged infrastructure retries passed. The underlying Claude provider
startup error was not retained and remains unknown.
- Older R2 retains **17 passes and one failure** across 18 attempts,
including eight both-pass native/legacy Codex/Claude pairs. Its OpenCode
blank-page failure led to the service-worker repair. R2 is historical
evidence: master changed the native fixed prompt and removed duplicate
wake environment data afterward.
- The September 24 CI run initially failed one unrelated preview
readiness test (`ECONNREFUSED` on its local fixture). Its test and
production code match master. Isolated local verification passed **28
tests, 3 skipped**. One unchanged CI retry passed the full shard: **831
passed, 1 skipped**, including all **31 preview-exposure tests**. The
aggregate CI gate passed afterward. The precise startup cause remains
unknown; a port race is a hypothesis, not a proved cause.

### Limits

The original wider profile/workflow matrix, repeated trials, and remote
Daytona qualification are incomplete. These results support a focused
merge recommendation, not statistical equivalence or universal harness
qualification. Some usage receipts are missing in both variants, so no
token or dollar savings are claimed. The $500 ceiling was preserved
using conservative allowances; failed attempts and unknown charges
remain in the ledger.

Reproduce the focused additions with `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/adapters/claude-local/src/server/acp.test.ts` and `pnpm
--filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec vitest run
src/native-session-runtime.test.ts`. Full checks use `pnpm -r
typecheck`, `pnpm test:run`, `pnpm build`, and the separate runner
checks. Paid evals require the frozen definitions, profiles, and
credentials; do not use `--all` as a substitute for the selected cases.

## Risks

- Context placement changes can affect model behavior. Deterministic
checks cover the selected paths, but live qualification remains
incomplete.
- The stale-question guard can reject a request when queued human
comments arrived during the run. This is intended.
- New stored inputs and model envelopes retain compatibility readers for
older active sessions.
- Custom templates may intentionally repeat content.
- Removing a model-facing working-directory sentence does not change
filesystem, command, sandbox, or permission configuration.
- The worker bypass applies only to same-origin development module
paths. Cache-policy tests preserve private-response handling and
production asset caching. Mounted HTTP fixture changes remain test-only.
- This PR does not claim measured token savings or statistical
equivalence across every harness.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, exact model gpt-6-astra, with repository tools and code
execution. Bounded supporting work used gpt-5.6-luna and gpt-6-luna. The
serving context-window size is not exposed in this task.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 5ee9e751fb fix(runner): discover assigned tools when direct catalogs exceed limits (#14218)
Keep assigned app tools accessible when the combined Runner catalog exceeds
its operation or byte limits. Reserve task and completion tools, then expose
bounded discovery and call tools for large catalogs. Fetch oversized schemas
in reauthorized chunks without blocking later search results.

Retain task ownership, work-mode restrictions, pinned assignments, current
gateway authorization, approvals, and audit. Small catalogs stay direct.

Validation: 46 focused server tests, two Runner capacity tests, local
typecheck/build, 52 passing CI checks, and Greptile 5/5 with no open findings.

DottaandPaperclip 422287eecd fix: preserve runner recovery, warm sessions, and task outcomes (#13338)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The native runner connects task messages, provider execution, and
task outcomes.
> - First-time user tests exposed gaps in recovery, completion
permissions, message delivery, and Stop behavior.
> - These gaps left usable output hidden, completed work waiting for
bookkeeping, or safe work unable to continue.
> - This pull request fixes the shared lifecycle and receipt paths while
preserving process ownership and action checks.
> - Users can continue work with accurate task state and durable
messages.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A stopped local Codex execution could remain blocked even after its
processes had stopped and its complete transcript proved that no
external action needed replay. Claude under Conservative permissions
could fail to call task completion tools. Recovery could reuse an
assistant item ID and overwrite prior output. A delivered comment could
remain marked uncertain after navigation. Stop could look like Pause or
a new recovery incident. Workspace contention could look like
cancellation. A direct reply reopening Done could enter a clarification
loop.

**Expected behavior**

Recover automatically only with verified termination and complete action
receipts. Preserve answers and messages. Keep task completion available
under Conservative permissions without broad tool access. Show crashes
as Blocked, actual human decisions as In Review, and ordinary workspace
contention as waiting. Stop the current response and allow a new
direction.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create ordinary response tasks with local Codex and Claude Code, then
send follow-up messages through the task composer.
2. Interrupt a disposable local Codex runner during text-only work.
Verify automatic continuation and retained output.
3. Stop a response, send a new request, answer a clarification, and
reopen completed work with another message.
4. Navigate or reload while a comment submission is pending. Confirm the
exact persisted request receipt settles it without removing newer draft
text.
5. Run two tasks in a shared Daytona workspace. Confirm waiting does not
appear as failure.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Initial acceptance baseline: `c9021c6721f91e2c74bd9fee9d3fd41c999d17b7`.
Current integration base: `6cef9743c`. Both operator-interruption and
workspace-waiting guards are preserved; native restart and legacy
permission rules remain documented.

**Deployment mode**

An isolated source-built test-drive instance, with real local Codex and
Claude Code providers and disposable Daytona environments.

Related work: #13314, #13316, #13327, #13344, #13239, #13254, #13163.
This PR addresses additional failures from ordinary task journeys,
including controller restart handoff and repeated warm sandbox setup.
Historical task status reconciliation is excluded.

## What Changed

- Persist runner ownership immediately at spawn and resume an explicitly
adopted runner even when the controller crashed before the first driver
checkpoint. Detach the controller safely across graceful restarts,
including session startup. Prevent an old finalizer from suspending or
signaling an adopted runner. Checkpoint idle warm sessions before
shutdown. Preserve the same run and queued follow-up messages.
- Scope saved legacy queue successor checks to the queue owner while
preserving ordinary task locks, operator identity, assignment gates, and
exactly-once delivery.
- Preserve managed Codex credential files when an old session is
detached for restart; normal owned cleanup still copies refreshed auth
back and removes the scoped copy.
- Reuse the bound warm shared sandbox and fully verify an existing
staged provider pack before using it. This avoids repeated uploads when
the pack is already valid.
- Add a narrow local Codex replacement path with stopped-process proof,
a closed transcript inventory, exact completion receipts, and
fresh-session lineage. Preserve no-replay holds when evidence is
incomplete. Recovery may clear only the same run's recorded Blocked
status version; manual re-blocking and dependency changes invalidate
that receipt, while queued comments do not. Later blocks stop scheduled,
queued, and final dispatch; queued/final checks re-read dependencies
even when the task status stays In Progress.
- Permit only task delivery and human-input tools through the isolated
Claude runner's exact task bridge.
- Scope assistant item identity to the provider turn and ignore only
authority-free Codex skill-change notifications during startup.
- Reconcile composer submissions by client request ID across response
loss, navigation, and reload. Retain text typed during delivery.
- Keep acknowledged run-only Stop neutral and show workspace contention
as waiting. Project exhausted native failures as Blocked.
- Restore the guarded task-page retry action for failed legacy runs,
including the server-supported explicit new-attempt path for stopped
conversation adapters. Preserve native/process recovery holds and avoid
promising Retry while a decision or execution gate hides it.
- Refresh delivered artifacts and handle direct user replies that reopen
completed work without a clarification loop.
- Check the embedded PostgreSQL PID, data directory, and actual port
before connecting or migrating.
- Document accepted behavior and add focused regressions at lifecycle,
route, transcript, and UI boundaries.

## Verification

- Final head `fece606ac2` passes the complete GitHub CI matrix: **34
green checks, two expected Storybook skips, no failures or pending
checks**, including `ci / verify`, `ci / e2e`, full runner verification,
typecheck, build, every server/workspace shard, and all browser shards.
[CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34727183287).
Greptile is **5/5 with no open findings**. The final two commits only
refine test fixtures; both affected suites pass 24/24 locally and in CI,
with server typecheck green.
- Complete local Vitest coverage uses the canonical groups/shards: all
635 general server suites, all 145 serialized suites, and all workspace
packages. The aggregate began on `0a8001c18` while the final queue fix
arrived: 23,903 passed, five failed, 87 skipped. The five
port/socket/timing failures passed unchanged in follow-ups (60 tests in
the exposure/file suites and 412 tests covering the serialized failures
and unrun tails). The final queue/operator-identity suites separately
passed 52/52. This is aggregate coverage plus explicit reruns, not a
pristine single-command final-head run.
- After integration with current master,
queue/operator-identity/continuation suites passed 162/162 and affected
UI suites passed 140/140. ACP Stop/continuation and legacy
task/Inbox/message browser suites passed 9/9, including both task
recovery Retry and thread Try again, automatic saved-message delivery,
exactly one new run, Done, and retained output after reload. The default
process Stop/Pause/Resume browser case passed (the native-provider case
is opt-in and skipped by default). The complete Board attachment/receipt
browser suite passed 11/11 on a disposable instance, covering both
composers, exact receipts after lost responses, no replay, bound
attachments, and newer drafts after reload.
- Blocking-intent regressions cover pre-existing Blocked, a mismatched
run/cause, an explicit manual re-block, changed dependencies, a queued
comment after failure, and a block arriving between scheduling and
provider dispatch. The negative cases reproduced before the fix. All 478
affected executor/recovery/dispatch tests passed; both database suites
ran separately after availability-probe skips in the first combined
command. The final late-dependency check passed all 143 affected
recovery/dispatch tests (zero skips) after two new negative cases
reproduced the bug.
- Focused runtime regressions cover awaited runner ownership
publication, authenticated adoption before the first checkpoint,
old-finalizer detachment, idle and busy warm-session shutdown, rejected
checkpoint propagation, provider-pack verification, and managed-Codex
credential preservation. Four managed credential detachment cases
reproduced the bug before the fix; normal owned cleanup still succeeds
exactly once.
- Live local Claude: SIGKILL 2.6 seconds into startup recovered the same
run automatically in 53 seconds, then a normal follow-up completed in 24
seconds. SIGTERM 2.5 seconds into startup preserved the same run (54
seconds) and its queued follow-up (21 seconds). Answers remained visible
and the task reached Done.
- Live Claude Daytona: a warm follow-up retained its sandbox and fell
from 121 seconds to 44 seconds. A separate cold turn took 127 seconds;
after controller shutdown and checkpointing, its follow-up completed in
33 seconds with the same sandbox, workspace, native session, and runner.
Both answers remained visible and the task was Done.
- Other live journeys covered task completion and follow-up with local
and Daytona Codex, local Codex crash recovery, Stop then new direction,
clarification response, live artifact refresh, and shared-workspace
waiting.
- Validation limits: the opt-in native composer Stop/Pause→subtree
Resume fixture exposes terminal/result ordering and subtree-cancellation
attribution bugs that can leave a child task blocked; that new finding
is assigned to a separate follow-up and is not claimed fixed here.
Default CI skips this optional native-provider fixture. Managed-Codex
credential handoff and the queue-agent integration use automated
regression evidence. Cold custom provider-pack uploads still add startup
latency.

## Risks

- Automatic replacement remains deliberately narrow: local Codex,
verified stopped identities, unchanged retained state, and a complete
text/completion-only turn. Unknown actions, partial history, or changed
ownership remain blocked.
- Claude completion permission handling changes an upstream package
patch. The exact isolated task bridge must remain pinned; unrelated
tools keep their existing permissions.
- New task failure projection changes user-visible status. No historical
status backfill or database migration is included.
- This is a broad lifecycle fix across server and UI. Live proof covers
graceful local Claude restart during startup and idle Claude Daytona
session recovery across controller shutdown. Live abrupt SIGKILL during
local Claude startup also recovered the same run. Unknown ownership or
missing action evidence still blocks reuse. Cold custom provider-pack
uploads still add startup latency; this change avoids unnecessary repeat
uploads.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 (Codex), with reasoning, code execution, browser
automation, and tool use. The exact hosted model ID and context window
are not exposed in this task.

DottaandPaperclip 663c44cb2b fix: continue conversations after confirmed remote runner stop (#13254)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Users can stop a run and send another message on the same task.
> - Remote runners need evidence from their sandbox provider that
execution stopped.
> - Local process checks cannot prove that a remote process exited.
> - This pull request records provider stop receipts and uses them for
conversation admission.
> - New user messages can proceed after confirmed cleanup without
repeating interrupted actions.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13237 and #13239. Related: #13163 covers app-restart recovery;
this change covers an explicit stop followed by a new user message.

**What happened?**

A stopped remote Claude ACP task kept its execution hold after Daytona
cleanup succeeded. Native runners also rejected remote process
identities and retained stale session cleanup gates. A message sent
during cleanup could stay deferred after the sandbox stopped.

**Expected behavior**

After the provider confirms that the old execution stopped, a new user
message starts a fresh turn. Pending user messages must not need another
message to trigger admission. Prior action outcomes remain recorded.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a long-running task in Daytona with a legacy Claude ACP or
native ACP runner.
2. Cancel the run while its tool is active.
3. Send a new message immediately, or after cleanup completes.
4. Observe the execution hold despite the old sandbox having stopped.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on master at 7b829efdf6. The
branch is rebased on current master.

## What Changed

- Add optional provider stop receipts to sandbox release and destroy
hooks. Old plugins remain compatible.
- Bind receipts to the company, run, lease, and provider resource.
Failed cleanup cannot supply stop authority.
- Acknowledge legacy remote cancellation after confirmed termination.
- Admit native user continuations using remote receipts instead of host
process checks.
- Retire only the settled cleanup owner matching the stopped company,
run, and provider resource. Isolate cleanup gates between remote
sandboxes, including two sandboxes owned by one run.
- Reconsider user messages deferred during remote cleanup through normal
admission, including successful later cleanup retries.
- Preserve receipts through cleanup retries and inline cleanup after
failed startup.
- Permit provider destruction after a terminal remote checkpoint
failure. Busy ownership still blocks destruction.
- Add regression tests and update execution semantics.
- Give the real preview fixture ten seconds for cold startup. Reuse
release-mode Rust artifacts for the filtered parity checks, avoiding a
duplicate debug test build that exhausted CI disk twice; test filters
and assertions are unchanged.

## Verification

- Recursive typecheck and build passed.
- Targeted server, Daytona plugin, and native runtime tests passed. They
cover missing or mismatched receipts, failed cleanup, local process
protection, exact cleanup ownership, and a message sent during cleanup.
- Live Daytona tests passed for legacy Claude ACP, native per-turn,
native warm, and a newly created native runner using disposable
sandboxes. Each original run was cancelled; its explicit follow-up
completed with no execution hold. The disposable case confirmed a new
sandbox after deletion.
- Native tests used the provider's Opus 5 selector, `opus[1m]`, and the
Linux runner bundle from the sandbox image. Existing checkpoint/sync
finalization warnings remained visible before the native follow-ups
reached committed success. This change does not repair those separate
warnings or guarantee recovery of uncheckpointed files.
- A direct live provider test also passed with the final delete-wait
change: the destroy hook returned its receipt only after Daytona
reported the sandbox destroyed. The final Daytona plugin suite passed
all 153 tests; its build passed.
- After rebasing on master, 284 targeted server/plugin tests and 313
native executor tests passed. The native session runtime suite passed
all 128 tests.
- The review regression passed all 145 tests across the continuation,
environment runtime, and pending-cleanup sweep suites. Recursive
typecheck and build passed again after that fix.
- The security review's exact-resource finding is fixed. Cleanup
completion requires the same provider-resource scope used during session
creation. All 128 native runtime tests, 61 server continuation/cleanup
tests, recursive typecheck, and build passed after this fix. The
two-sandboxes-in-one-run regression proves one receipt cannot retire the
other quarantine.
- Greptile reviewed the final commit at 5/5, the security scan passed,
and no review threads remain unresolved. The final native executor suite
also passed all 313 tests.
- The full local suite reached 10,616 passing tests before stopping on
four failures. All four now pass in focused reruns: the final-code
continuation/teardown suites, the attachment suite, and the native
session test after building its required fake-provider binary. The
original full run overlapped source edits and did not reach the
remaining groups; it is not counted as a full-suite pass.
- The preview exposure suite passed all 25 applicable tests (three
Linux-only tests skipped locally) after the startup allowance change.
Both release-mode Rust parity commands passed locally. All final-head PR
checks passed, including full server/workspace/browser test groups, full
native runner verification, build, typecheck, canary dry-run, and the
aggregate gates.

## Risks

- A provider must return a receipt only after confirmed termination.
Incorrect provider claims could permit overlapping execution.
- Older providers without receipts retain the existing hold. Missing
evidence, failed cleanup, active ownership, pauses, approvals, and
budgets still block admission.
- This change preserves unknown action outcomes and old checkpoints. It
does not authorize replay or alter historical runs.
- No database migration or telemetry contract change is required.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with repository inspection, code execution,
and browser tools. The exact backend revision and context-window size
are not exposed in this session.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Review commands include `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest
run src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts
src/__tests__/issue-queued-comments-routes.test.ts` and `pnpm exec
playwright test --config tests/e2e/playwright.config.ts
tests/e2e/acp-stop-continuation.spec.ts`. Database suites require fresh
disposable databases. See the [browser
runbook](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/afe19299d06253cb628eb398e91d1200ea9f412a/doc/plans/chat-adapters/2026-09-04-chat-adapters-browser-e2e-runbook.md)
for provider setup and separate live acceptance steps.

## Risks

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

OpenAI Codex assisted with implementation, tool execution, testing, and
review. The work records `gpt-6-astra` assistance. The environment does

Dotta bcc6fe7a44 fix(runner): restore multi-turn remote sessions (#12840)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - The runner executes agent turns on local and remote providers.
> - A remote per-turn session must save its state before Paperclip
releases its sandbox.
> - The session runtime returned after 100 milliseconds while the remote
checkpoint still ran.
> - The next turn also checked the local state path instead of the
verified remote backup.
> - This pull request waits for the bounded remote close and accepts
only a verified suspended backup.
> - The benefit is reliable multi-turn execution without weaker identity
checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A successful remote agent turn released its sandbox before the runner
saved the verified continuation backup. The next turn failed with
`runner_state_identity_mismatch`.

**Expected behavior**

Paperclip must finish the bounded remote checkpoint before it releases
the sandbox. A later turn must validate and restore the digest-matched
suspended backup.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run a native ACPX Claude Plan test in a non-reusable Daytona sandbox.
2. Reject the first plan to start a second turn.
3. Observe that the second turn fails before provider execution.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The failure reproduced at `13775a90b078ff64872f50961ea1b83d575e7bc6`.

**Deployment mode**

GitHub Actions with a Daytona sandbox.

## What Changed

- Wait for the internally bounded remote runner close and checkpoint
before the host returns.
- Preserve the existing short cleanup bound for other providers.
- Validate remote continuation lifecycle from a complete digest-verified
backup when local runner state is absent.
- Keep corrupt, non-suspended, mismatched, and unverified state
fail-closed.
- Make native Plan completion and accepted-Plan wake prompts
deterministic.

## Verification

- A prior 45-cell local campaign passed 44 cells. The only failure was
the OpenCode Plan prompt variance fixed here.
- A focused OpenCode local Plan rerun passed.
- ACPX Claude Daytona message and question cells passed.
- Focused regressions cover delayed checkpoint close and verified remote
backup lifecycle.
- GitHub Build and the focused ACPX Claude Daytona Plan cell will
validate this exact head.

## Risks

Remote runnerd sessions now wait for their internally bounded
close/checkpoint path before returning; generic provider cleanup retains
the existing 100 millisecond bound. Durable run success still cannot be
reversed. The environment release guard still blocks sandbox destruction
when no verified backup stamp exists.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5.6, extended reasoning, with code execution and
GitHub Actions inspection.

Dotta 0a422fda52 feat(runner): add remote execution substrate (#12638)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Paperclip Runner gives native runs a durable and governed execution
path.
> - The current native path runs on the control-plane host.
> - Remote environments need an authenticated execution-target contract.
> - The contract must not change direct adapters or enable new runtimes
by default.
> - This pull request adds the remote execution substrate and Daytona
ingress.
> - The benefit is a bounded base for later remote runner transport
work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #12616.
Refs #12352.

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting. This change touches runner transport, server
orchestration, plugin contracts, and shared settings.

**Problem or motivation**

Native execution cannot resolve an authenticated runner ingress through
a remote environment. The server also lacks one provider-neutral
contract for remote execution targets.

**Proposed solution**

Add a default-off runner preview ingress capability. Add
transport-neutral runner connectivity. Add remote execution target and
lifecycle handling. Add a Daytona ingress implementation with redacted
credentials.

**Alternatives considered**

A provider-specific server path would duplicate orchestration and
authorization. A public endpoint without an environment contract would
weaken the trust boundary.

**Roadmap alignment**

This work supports the Cloud and Sandbox agents milestone. It also
supports self-healing runs and governed tool access.

## What Changed

- Added execution-target traits for local, SSH, and sandbox
environments.
- Added plugin RPC contracts for runner ingress endpoints.
- Added authenticated Daytona preview ingress.
- Added transport-neutral PRP outbound connections.
- Added remote runner artifact verification and fail-closed provider
selection.
- Added bounded native session resume, cancellation, and lifecycle
recovery.
- Preserved Codex-only selection for fresh experimental runner starts.
- Preserved all direct adapter execution and finalization paths.
- Removed stale Pi provider-pack requirements that security review
rejected.
- Kept the rollout controls off by default.
- Did not change pnpm-lock.yaml, Cargo, database migrations, or GitHub
workflows.

## Verification

- GitHub Actions will run the repository test, typecheck, build,
security, and policy gates.
- Focused tests cover ingress validation, redaction, execution targets,
remote lifecycle, cancellation, resume, and legacy adapter selection.
- Local tests were not run. The requested verification policy uses
GitHub Actions for this series.
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD` passes.
- The diff contains 52 files.

## Risks

- Remote execution crosses a trust boundary.
- The implementation validates target capabilities, artifact digests,
provider-pack pins, and connection metadata.
- The feature remains default-off.
- Fresh native selection remains Codex-only.
- Existing direct adapters remain on the legacy path.
- This PR does not yet make remote Codex runnable. The next PR adds the
Rust WSS and TLS transport.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex with GPT-5.6. The work used high-reasoning agent mode,
repository tools, GitHub tools, and parallel code-audit agents.

Dotta 51ad751e0b feat(runner): integrate Codex native execution (#12616)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source control plane for teams of AI agents.
> - Agent runs currently use direct adapters and their established
finalization paths.
> - The new runner package needs one production integration before it
can execute a real provider through the server.
> - That integration must not change direct adapters or expose
unsupported providers.
> - The rollout must also preserve native runs that were already
recorded when the feature flag changes.
> - This pull request adds a default-off, Codex-only native execution
path and its authority boundary.
> - The benefit is a recoverable production vertical slice with explicit
compatibility guards.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting server orchestration and adapter selection.

**Problem or motivation**

The runner package exists, but the server cannot yet start and recover a
governed Codex run through it. A careless integration could also route
existing direct adapters into the native runtime or lose cancellation
and finalization state.

**Proposed solution**

Add a hidden `paperclip_runner` adapter for Codex. Keep it behind the
default-off instance flag. Bind native execution, resume, cancellation,
semantic tool authority, and finalization to the recorded company,
issue, run, and coordinator identities. Leave every direct adapter on
its existing path.

**Alternatives considered**

A multi-provider launch was rejected because only Codex has the complete
production bridge in this series. Replacing direct adapter execution was
rejected because the runner remains experimental.

**Roadmap alignment**

This work supports governed tool access, action attribution, and
self-healing runs. It keeps the integration narrow and default-off.

## What Changed

- Add the Codex-only native session executor and persisted resumption
path.
- Add run-scoped semantic tool projection, authorization, receipts, and
idempotency.
- Add audited native cancellation with durable issue and coordinator
binding.
- Add result fencing so a recorded result cannot reacquire the provider
and run twice.
- Reject fresh runner starts when the rollout flag is off while
preserving recorded native recovery.
- Keep direct adapters outside native status, cancellation, record
creation, and finalization.
- Add focused conformance, recovery, cancellation, status, portability,
and compatibility coverage.

## Verification

- GitHub Actions is the authoritative test environment for this large
stack.
- The PR policy and lightweight stack checks run while this is a middle
PR.
- The full required suite runs when this PR becomes the lowest unmerged
or top PR.
- Greptile will review this exact delta after the branch is pushed.

## Risks

- The main risk is routing a legacy adapter into native execution.
Runtime selection and heartbeat tests cover that boundary.
- The next risk is stale or cross-company cancellation. Durable binding
checks and transactional audit persistence cover it.
- The adapter remains hidden and default-off. Only Codex is admitted.
- There are no database migration, lockfile, or GitHub workflow changes
in this PR.

DottaandDev Agent 25cf079ec5 feat(runner): add Codex-native application integration (#12591)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The runner package is useful only when the application can start,
observe, and recover a native Codex run safely.
> - Existing direct adapters must keep their current execution and
finalization paths.
> - The application boundary therefore needs additive persistence,
authorization, coordination, and recovery behind an explicit
experimental adapter.
> - This pull request adds that Codex-only boundary without activating
generalized providers, remote environments, or the later task/SDK
surfaces.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Shared contracts, database persistence, adapter utilities, server
native-runtime services, and the experimental Paperclip Runner adapter.

**Problem or motivation**

The already-landed runner package has a qualified Codex path, but the
application needs durable native-run state, guarded runtime selection,
authenticated coordination, tool security, finalization, and recovery
before the experimental adapter can be exercised safely.

**Proposed solution**

Add a Codex-only `paperclip_runner` application path behind the existing
default-off native-runner setting. Bind native state and coordination to
company/run identity, preserve persisted-run recovery, and leave every
direct adapter on its existing legacy execution path.

**Alternatives considered**

The earlier stack boundary introduced a generalized executor and
remote-environment lifecycle here. That made this PR depend on
implementations in higher PRs and changed reusable sandbox behavior
globally. Those pieces are now deferred together to #12592.

**Roadmap alignment**

ROADMAP.md does not list a conflicting native-runner integration
project. This change adds the application boundary for the existing
Runner architecture.

## What Changed

- Added native run/result/finalization/provider-trace persistence,
shared validators, and idempotent migration/replay coverage.
- Added guarded Codex-only runtime selection, authenticated PRP
coordination, recovery, finalization, and interaction services.
- Added run/company-bound tool-gateway authorization, credential
redaction, SSRF protections, and replay-safe behavior.
- Added the explicit `paperclip_runner` adapter behind the default-off
rollout setting.
- Preserved legacy answered-question wake projection and direct-adapter
execution/finalization paths.
- Hardened cancellation so only owned in-memory child processes are
signaled; persisted recycled PIDs/process groups are never trusted.
- Retained the narrow Claude ACPX isolated-context security follow-up
discovered after #12590.
- Deferred the generalized executor, provider ingress, remote lifecycle,
SDK/lab/eval work, release-process changes, and lockfile.

## Verification

- Changed-file delta against `master`: 133 files.
- GitHub Actions is the authoritative verification environment for this
PR.
- Full CI, security, and Greptile review will run on this lowest
unmerged stack PR.
- Local tests/build/typecheck were not run because this checkout is
resource constrained.
- Static diff/reference checks pass, and `pnpm-lock.yaml` is unchanged.

## Risks

- This touches central heartbeat and agent-route code, so legacy
compatibility is the primary risk.
- Runtime selection remains Codex-only and explicit; direct Codex,
Claude, OpenCode, process, HTTP, and plugin adapters remain on their
existing paths.
- Fresh native starts fail closed while the rollout flag is off;
persisted native records remain readable and recoverable.
- Cancellation, company/run binding, tool calls, status decisions, and
completion writes are guarded or replay-safe.

Dotta 7a3abb88a0 feat(runner): authorize server Codex tools (#12385)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The hidden native coordinator already computes a run-scoped semantic
tool projection.
> - The durable Codex backend now accepts and enforces that projection.
> - The server did not include the projection in its `run.prepare`
command.
> - Codex therefore received no production semantic tools even when the
server authorized them.
> - This pull request adds the deterministic wire projection and sends
it to runnerd.
> - The benefit is one fail-closed authorization catalog from the server
through Codex.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #12384

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

This improves the existing flagged Paperclip Runner Codex path.

**Current behavior**

The server creates a run-scoped list of authorized read tools. It does
not pass that list to runnerd, so the production Codex session starts
with no tools.

**Proposed behavior**

The server maps the authorized definitions to the versioned runner
contract. It computes a cross-language catalog digest. It includes that
immutable contract in `run.prepare`.

**Reason and benefit**

Runnerd and the server now enforce the same catalog identity. Unknown,
duplicate, changed, or malformed tool contracts fail before Codex can
use them.

**Breaking changes**

None. Direct adapters are unchanged. A native run with an empty server
projection still starts with no dynamic tools.

## What Changed

- Add a deterministic semantic-definition to runner-authorization
projection.
- Match the Rust canonical digest with a shared test vector.
- Include the server coordinator projection in the native Codex
`run.prepare` command.
- Extend the native Codex vertical slice to require and execute a
semantic tool.
- Verify the production prepare payload in a host-independent server
test.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner test:typescript` (354
tests pass)
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-codex-runner.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- The embedded-Postgres vertical slice is present for CI. This local
host reports that embedded Postgres is unavailable, so Vitest skips that
host-dependent test locally.
- Confirmed that the PR changes 7 files against
`runner-codex-durable-tools`.
- Confirmed that `pnpm-lock.yaml` is unchanged.

## Risks

The main risk is a catalog digest mismatch between TypeScript and Rust.
Both implementations use canonical JSON. They share the same fixed
digest vector. Runnerd also recomputes the digest and rejects a
mismatch.

The rollout flag and the existing native runtime selection rules remain
unchanged.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex with GPT-5 and repository tool use.

Dotta bc9ba7cd26 feat(runner): project native runs into task threads (#12321)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The experimental Paperclip Runner can execute a guarded Codex run
and persist provider-neutral events.
> - The task page still reads direct-adapter transcripts and cannot
present those native events.
> - Structured runner questions must also use the existing task
interaction experience.
> - Runtime selection must use the persisted run mode, not an adapter
name or a current feature flag.
> - This pull request projects native events and questions into the
existing task thread.
> - Direct adapters keep their existing transcript, composer,
interaction, and finalization paths.
> - The benefit is a complete native Codex task thread without a
behavior change for existing adapters.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #12202. This pull request replaces that stale implementation on
current `master`.

**What happened?**

The server persists native runner events and structured input requests.
The task page only consumes direct-adapter transcripts. A native run
therefore cannot present a complete transcript, usage, or question flow
through the normal task experience.

**Expected behavior**

Native runs project persisted provider-neutral events into the existing
task thread. Native structured questions use the existing interaction
card. Direct adapters retain their current behavior.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Enable the experimental runner.
2. Start a native Codex run that emits progress, usage, a structured
question, and a final reply.
3. Open the task page.
4. Observe that the direct-adapter transcript path cannot project the
native event records.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `67f9867bc`.

## What Changed

- Add the canonical structured-question validator and shared contract
exports.
- Materialize native input requests as existing task interactions.
- Validate native answers and deliver them through the durable
question-response receipt.
- Resume the original PRP request with an idempotent `request.resolve`
command.
- Project native messages, tool activity, cumulative usage, and final
replies into the existing transcript model.
- Propagate persisted `runtimeMode` to the task page and select native
handling only for `runtimeMode: "native"`.
- Expire pending interactions through the shared issue service on every
terminal transition, including decisions, stalled reviews, tree control,
and pipeline retry cleanup.
- Queue native run cancellation while a transaction is open and execute
it only after the owning transaction commits.
- Keep nonterminal and non-runner issue paths on their existing service
call shapes and behavior.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed, including the
Rust runner release build and protocol/catalog drift gates.
- Focused native-thread and lifecycle suites — 18 files and 481 tests
passed during review.
- `issue-execution-policy-routes.test.ts` — 19/19 passed after the final
transactional-queue expectation update.
- `issue-agent-mutation-ownership-routes.test.ts` — 87/87 passed in the
final isolated compatibility rerun.
- GitHub Actions — policy, build, canary, typecheck/release registry, 5
serialized server shards, 8 general-test shards, 3 browser shards, and
both aggregate gates passed on `7793f3193`.
- Security — Snyk, Socket Project Report, Socket PR Alerts, and
Superagent passed.
- Greptile — 5/5 on `7793f3193`; all actionable review threads resolved.
- `git diff --check` — passed.
- Diff against `master`: 44 files.

## Compatibility Boundary

- Native transcript polling only runs when the persisted run reports
`runtimeMode: "native"`.
- Missing or legacy runtime modes continue through
`useLiveRunTranscripts`.
- Legacy questions keep the existing optional free-text choice.
- Native closed select sets can suppress that legacy fallback.
- Terminal cleanup uses the same issue service for native and legacy
interactions; only a bound native question schedules a native run
cancellation.
- Native cancellation happens after transaction commit, so failed or
rolled-back writes do not cancel a still-valid run.
- The durable delivery service checks the original native request before
it considers a continuation run.
- This pull request adds no migration, dependency, workflow, manifest,
or lockfile change.

## Risks

The main risk is routing a direct-adapter task through native handling
or changing terminal issue behavior. The implementation selects the
native path only from persisted runtime facts, retains the existing
nonterminal call shape, and schedules native cancellation only for a
validated bound native question after commit. Focused and
repository-wide tests cover both paths. Native requests remain bound to
the company, issue, run, and agent; answers are validated, durable, and
idempotent across reconnects.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5 family. The client does not expose the exact
deployment ID or context window. Agentic reasoning, tool use, and code
execution were enabled.

Dotta 67f9867bc6 fix(interactions): deliver question answers durably (#12307)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents can pause a task and ask the user structured questions.
> - The answer is durable in the issue interaction, but delivery to the
next run is not durable.
> - A process restart can therefore leave an answered interaction
without a continuation attempt.
> - Native runners also need a provider-neutral question contract before
the task page can consume native events safely.
> - This pull request adds a content-free delivery outbox and an
optional native steering seam.
> - Direct adapters keep their existing heartbeat continuation path.
> - The benefit is reliable answer delivery without changing runtime
selection or task-page behavior.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #12202. This pull request replaces the question-delivery foundation
from that stale task-thread pull request. The task-thread projection
will follow in a smaller pull request.

**What happened?**

Question answers were stored in the issue interaction. The server then
made one in-memory continuation wake. A server stop between those
operations could leave the answer stored but not delivered. The combined
native task-thread pull request also made this behavior hard to review
separately from UI changes.

**Expected behavior**

The answer and its delivery receipt must commit in one transaction. The
server must retry pending receipts after a restart. Existing direct
adapters must keep the current wake path. A native runtime may use the
optional steering seam, but this pull request does not enable native
steering in production.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create an `ask_user_questions` interaction.
2. Answer the interaction.
3. Stop the server before the continuation wake completes.
4. Start the server again.
5. On current master, no durable record tells the server to retry the
answer delivery.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Current `master` at `4d82f5eae`.

## What Changed

- Add the `issue_question_response_deliveries` table and migration.
- Store only routing state, a correlation ID, and a payload digest in
the delivery row. The answer remains in the existing interaction result.
- Commit an answered interaction and its pending delivery row in one
transaction.
- Add bounded claims, retry recovery, cumulative terminal state, and
content-free activity records.
- Keep every built-in direct adapter and external adapter on the
existing heartbeat wake path.
- Add an optional native steering seam. No production caller supplies
that seam in this pull request.
- Retain the provider-neutral `paperclip.question_set.v1` presentation
on recovered interactions.
- Run delivery immediately after an answer and sweep pending rows at
startup and on the existing server interval.
- Add focused database, service, route, startup, adapter-matrix, digest,
and duplicate-delivery tests.

## Compatibility Boundary

- This pull request does not change adapter selection.
- This pull request does not start runnerd.
- This pull request does not create native run records.
- Direct adapters never call the native steering seam.
- The existing interaction result stays authoritative for answer
content.
- The migration is additive and does not rewrite existing rows.
- This pull request has no UI, dependency, workflow, package-manager, or
lockfile changes.
- The diff has 19 files.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/question-response-delivery.test.ts
server/src/services/issue-thread-interactions.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-thread-interaction-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/server-startup-feedback-export.test.ts` — 4 files
and 120 tests passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed for all applicable workspaces. This
includes Cargo format and check, protocol drift checks, and migration
safety.
- `pnpm build` — passed. This includes the Rust release binary, server
build, and UI production build.
- `git diff --check` — passed.
- Secret patterns were not present in the changed text files.
- The repository token gates currently report violations from unchanged
files on `master`. This pull request does not change those files.

## Risks

The main risk is routing a direct-adapter answer into a native session.
The service checks the persisted runtime mode, and the adapter matrix
proves that all direct adapters use only the existing wake path. The new
table is additive. It has foreign keys, unique correlation constraints,
bounded attempts, and status checks. Activity records omit question and
answer content.

Dotta 397de98193 feat(runner): add flagged Codex execution adapter (#12188)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for

> - The Paperclip Runner now has protocol, provider, tool, package,
persistence, and hidden server boundaries.
> - The server still cannot select that path for a real agent heartbeat.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #11962

Refs #12111

Refs #12169

Refs #12176

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting. The change affects the runner package, server
orchestration, shared settings, and adapter configuration UI.

**Problem or motivation**

The hidden PRP coordinator cannot execute a real heartbeat. The
application also needs an explicit rollout boundary before it can expose
the experimental runner. Existing direct adapters must keep their
current execution and finalization behavior.

**Proposed solution**

Add `paperclip_runner` as a Codex-only adapter behind the default-off
`enableNativeRunner` instance flag. Select the native runtime only for
that adapter. Persist the run binding before runnerd starts. Wait for
the durable PRP result and terminal event. Resume the real Codex
provider thread on later heartbeats. Keep persisted native runs readable
and recoverable after the flag changes.

**Alternatives considered**

The server could route `codex_local` through runnerd. That option would
change an existing adapter and weaken rollback safety. The server could
expose all providers now. That option would add unreviewed provider
behavior. The build could depend on a prebuilt runner binary. That
option would make source builds architecture-dependent and difficult to
verify.

**Roadmap alignment**

This work supports the shipped enforced-outcomes, governed-tool, and
self-healing-run milestones. It does not add a new roadmap surface. It
is the guarded execution step after the merged hidden runner boundaries.

**Additional context**

This is the next replacement for the closed large runner pull request.
Task-thread presentation remains a separate follow-up so this change can
preserve the current direct-adapter UI.

## What Changed

- Add `paperclip_runner` as an explicit Codex-only adapter.
- Add the default-off `enableNativeRunner` instance flag.
- Reject fresh create, hire, import, switch, and execution requests
while the flag is off.
- Allow edits to persisted runner agents while the flag is off.
- Recover an already persisted native run even after the flag is
disabled.
- Keep every built-in direct adapter on its existing runtime path.
- Persist an immutable native run binding and revisioned completion
contract before runnerd starts.
- Execute server to PRP to runnerd to Codex to server through the hidden
coordinator.
- Validate the durable result against the terminal event and exact
completion criteria before finalization.
- Preserve the Codex provider thread ID and use `thread/resume` on the
next heartbeat.
- Strip unsupported Codex configuration fields from the experimental
adapter.
- Build a target-native release runner binary from source and vendor it
into the server distribution.
- Install Rust only in the Docker build stage. Do not add a workflow or
lockfile change.
- Stop the runner process group on completion, cancellation, and forced
shutdown.

## Verification

- Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner check:all`. All 69
TypeScript tests and 58 Rust tests pass. Protocol, conformance, replay,
formatting, and generated-file checks pass.
- Run the 12 focused adapter, settings, runtime-selection, coordinator,
direct-isolation, and real Codex integration test files. All 186 tests
pass.
- The real integration test uses PostgreSQL, HTTP, WebSocket, runnerd,
and a fake Codex app server. It proves one `thread/start` followed by
one `thread/resume`.
- Run `pnpm -r typecheck`.
- Run `pnpm build`.
- Run `pnpm check:token-gates`.
- Build the Docker `build` target from a clean context. Confirm that the
server distribution contains an executable `paperclip-runnerd` built
with Debian Rust 1.85.
- Start the server through the source-mode tsx entry point with the
package `dist` directory absent. Confirm the vendor shim resolves source
exports and the server boots.
- Run `pnpm test:run` twice. On this macOS host, 405 files pass and 1
file skips. Eight untouched workspace and loopback tests fail because
macOS resolves `/tmp` and `/var` through `/private` and because
PID-derived test ports exceed 65535. Linux CI must pass the full suite.
- Confirm that the diff contains 52 files. Confirm that it contains no
`.github` or `pnpm-lock.yaml` change.

## Risks

- The feature flag is off by default. A fresh native start fails with a
stable error while the flag is off.
- A persisted native run remains recoverable after the flag changes.
This prevents rollout changes from corrupting recorded work.
- Only local Codex execution is accepted. Other providers and remote
work modes fail closed.
- Existing direct adapters do not start runnerd, create native rows, use
native status arbitration, or enter native finalization.
- The runner receives its one-use bootstrap ticket through the child
environment. The server does not put the ticket in command arguments or
logs.
- The server validates the company, task, agent, run, runner, session,
completion contract, result, and terminal binding before it accepts
completion.
- The build compiles a target-native Rust binary. Cross-platform release
packaging remains a later concern. Source builds and Docker builds
compile for their current target.
- Docker needs enough build memory for the existing server TypeScript
compile. The Docker build stage sets a 4 GB V8 heap limit.

Dotta 9964b034bb feat(runner): add hidden server PRP coordinator (#12176)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Paperclip Runner needs a narrow server trust boundary before an
adapter can start it.
> - The package has durable runner transport, but the server does not
host or authorize that transport.
> - Native persistence exists, but no writer connects PRP events to
those records.
> - A direct adapter must not enter this path by accident.
> - This pull request adds a hidden, run-bound PRP server coordinator.
> - The benefit is a recoverable server boundary that remains
unavailable to normal execution.

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting. The change affects the runner package and server
orchestration.

**Problem or motivation**

The server cannot authenticate runnerd, commit PRP events before ACK,
authorize semantic tools, or enter native finalization from a durable
runner result. The application must have this hidden boundary before a
guarded adapter can use the runner.

**Proposed solution**

Add an authenticated PRP WebSocket authority and register it only for
one exact persisted native Codex run. Bind each connection and event to
the company, issue, agent, run, runner, session, turn, item, and
verified runner identity. Commit each event before its cumulative ACK.
Project only authorized same-task read tools. Rebuild the accepted
result and finalization record from durable result and terminal events.

**Alternatives considered**

The server could expose a broad runner API key or route semantic calls
through existing adapter endpoints. Those options grant too much
authority and weaken replay recovery. The server could also add the
user-facing adapter in this pull request. That option would mix rollout
selection with the transport trust boundary and make legacy
compatibility harder to review.

**Roadmap alignment**

This work supports the shipped enforced-outcomes, governed-tool, and
self-healing-run milestones. It does not add a new roadmap surface.

## What Changed

- Add the durable PRP server authority with one-use bootstrap tickets,
reconnect leases, encrypted frames, bounded state, cumulative ACKs, and
idempotent commands.
- Add `/api/runner/v1/connect/:runId`. Derive its `ws://` or `wss://`
URL from the configured Paperclip API URL.
- Register one authority only after the coordinator verifies the
complete native Codex run binding.
- Commit validated PRP events to `heartbeat_run_events` before ACK.
Reject source gaps and conflicting replays.
- Rebuild accepted results and finalization records from durable result
and terminal events. Enforce finalization owner leases and retry times.
- Project five same-task read operations. Recheck run, agent, task, and
company authority for each call.
- Keep the route hidden. No adapter selects this coordinator, and no
code starts runnerd.
- Vendor the compiled runner TypeScript runtime into the server package
while keeping the workspace package development-only for the server.
- Document the package, database writer, run-log payload, and credential
exclusions.

## Verification

- Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner check:all`. All
TypeScript protocol checks and 69 Vitest tests pass, including
commit-before-ACK crash recovery. All 43 Rust unit tests and 13 Rust
integration tests pass. Conformance and replay parity pass.
- Run the focused server WebSocket, coordinator, package-build, and
startup-wiring suites. All 26 tests pass, including a clean-checkout
reproduction with the runner `dist` directory absent.
- Run `pnpm -r typecheck`.
- Run `pnpm test:run`.
- Run `pnpm build`.
- Confirm that the diff contains 19 files. Confirm that it contains no
workflow or `pnpm-lock.yaml` change.

## Risks

- The server installs the WebSocket route at startup. An unregistered or
malformed run path fails closed and creates no native record.
- Bootstrap tickets are one use. The private state directory uses mode
`0700`, and the state file uses mode `0600`. The file stores derived
authentication verifiers and never stores raw tickets or lease tokens.
- The journal has explicit frame, command, event-window, and file-size
bounds. A bound violation closes the runner connection or rejects the
command.
- A runner event reaches the database before its ACK. A crash between
event commit and ACK causes a byte-equivalent replay, not a second
logical effect.
- The coordinator accepts only an existing queued or running native
Codex row with exact company, task, agent, runner, session, and
completion-contract ownership.
- Existing direct adapters do not call this service. They keep their
current execution, transcript, result, and finalization paths.
- The server has no production dependency on the private runner package.
Its build copies the compiled runtime into `server/dist`; the workspace
link is development-only. This adds no external package and does not
change the lockfile.
