DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 b0fa2ef9bf feat(task-chat): show web searches, model switches, waits and verification checks as dedicated rows (#19262)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents run through the native runner. The runner turns harness
activity into typed canonical events such as `research.*`,
`model.route.changed`, `wait.*` and the run's own verification checks.
> - The task chat flattened these events into generic tool rows. A web
search showed as "Ran Research eventType: research.started, summary: …".
The run's verification checks were dropped completely.
> - Live tests found a second break: the Rust runner core forwarded
Codex `webSearch` items without their query, action or results. The
canonical `research.*` events therefore had `query: null`.
> - This pull request keeps the full payload for these families (as
#19252 did for plans), adds small dedicated rows, and keeps the
web-search fields through the durable runner.
> - The benefit is that users see what the agent searched for, which
model actually ran, how long a wait lasts, and whether each check
passed, without opening the run log.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19252 (same pattern for the plan card)

**Subsystem affected**
Task chat activity rows (UI), the native run-event transcript mapping,
and the Rust runner core Codex normalizer.

**Problem or motivation**
Provider activity that the runner already maps to canonical events
reaches the task chat as unreadable generic rows. Verification checks
never appear. For Codex, the web-search query and action are lost before
they reach the canonical event.

**Proposed solution**
Keep `research`, `model_identity`, `artifact`, `review` and `wait`
events as `provider_activity` entries with their full payload. Project
the runner's `verification` items as a new `verification` family. Render
dedicated rows: a web search with its quoted query and source-domain
chips, a model switch as `from → to · reason`, a wait with a live
countdown, and green/red check lines. Keep bounded web-search and sleep
fields in the Rust normalizer.

**Alternatives considered**
A separate "Checks" block beside the final answer. We kept the checks in
the activity group, because the group summary already leads with "Check
failed" when a check fails.

## What Changed

- `ui/src/components/transcript/native-run-events.ts`: keep research,
model, artifact, review and wait events as `provider_activity` with the
full payload. Map `item.completed` items of kind `verification` to the
new `verification` family. Context, hook, safety and delegation stay on
the generic path, because other work items own them.
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/types.ts`,
`ui/src/components/task-chat/task-chat-model.ts`,
`ui/src/lib/issue-chat-messages.ts`: add the `verification`
provider-activity family.
- `ui/src/components/task-chat/task-chat-activity-presentation.ts`: add
labels: "Searched the web “query”", "Opened a web page host/path",
"Switched models a → b · reason", "Waiting 30s" / "Waited 30s", and
"Check passed" / "Check failed" / "Check not run".
- `ui/src/components/task-chat/TaskChatRunnerActivityGroup.tsx` and
`TaskChatProtocolActivityRow.tsx`: show up to three source-domain chips
under a finished search, a live countdown for a running wait, and a
check line with a tinted icon and its detail.
- `ui/src/components/task-chat/completed-activity-summary.ts`: the group
summary leads with "Check failed" when a check fails, and says "Switched
models" for a reroute.
- `ui/src/components/task-chat/transcript-adapter.ts`: verification
detail keys, and a `startedAt` timestamp that stays across lifecycle
merges (used by the countdown).
-
`packages/paperclip-runner/runner/crates/runner-core/src/provider_events.rs`:
keep bounded `query`, `action` and http(s) `results` for Codex
`webSearch` items, and `durationMs` for `sleep` items. Other item types
do not change.
- `ui/storybook/stories/tasks/task-chat-provider-activity.stories.tsx`:
new story. Its fixtures are persisted run events that go through the
production transcript path.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/components/transcript src/components/task-chat
src/components/TaskChatThread.test.tsx src/adapters/paperclip-runner
src/lib`: 275 files and 3669 tests pass.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core`: all tests pass, including the
new `keeps_bounded_web_search_and_sleep_identity`.
- UI typecheck is clean. `pnpm check:token-gates` is clean. `cargo fmt
--check` is clean.
- Storybook: open "Tasks and conversations / … / Task chat / Provider
activity". It shows a settled run, a live search, a live wait countdown
and a narrow layout.
- Live test on a local worktree instance with a real Codex agent
(gpt-5.6-sol, Codex app-server 0.160). The task asked for a web search,
a parser with tests, a pause, and two checks. The task chat showed
"Searched the web “ISO 8601 week date first week Thursday conversion
calendar date”" and two green check rows ("node --test week-date.test.js
· 8 tests passed; 0 failed.", "node --check week-date.js"). The group
summary read "Ran checks". Before the runner fix, the same search had
`query: null`.

Not verified live:
- The source-domain chips. Codex 0.160 sends `results: null`, because it
keeps search results on the server. The chips appear only when a
provider reports sources. Unit tests and the story cover them.
- The wait countdown and the model-switch row. In the live run Codex
paused with a shell `sleep`, not a native `sleep` item, and no reroute
occurred. Unit tests and the story cover both.
- Claude. Its WebSearch and WebFetch calls arrive as generic tool
executions, because ACPX drops the tool metadata. They show as tool
rows, as before. The ACPX `_meta` work is separate.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change only affects how canonical events display. The
generic path stays for the families that this PR does not change.
- The Rust normalizer now persists the web-search query and the source
URLs/titles in the run events. This data was already intended for the
canonical `research.v1` event, and it is bounded (4,000 characters per
text field, 64 results, http(s) URLs only).
- A search that Codex reports with `action: other` and no query shows as
"Searched the web" with no subject.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 b1d00eeca0 fix(evals): derive the controlled Runner eval policy from committed defaults (#19253)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Runner protocol qualification runs real providers against 41 cases
and reports them in TestOps.
> - Controlled mode (#17889) adds a spend cap, private evidence storage,
and cost and trace accounting.
> - Operators must hand-maintain one large JSON variable for each
campaign size, price review, and lockfile change.
> - A one-cell policy blocked the first 41-case run, and its prices
expired after 24 hours.
> - This pull request derives that policy from committed defaults and
the selected cases.
> - The benefit is that a full run needs no policy edit, and all three
safety properties stay.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17889, #19011, #19070.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Controlled Runner protocol campaigns read
`RUNNER_PROTOCOL_EVAL_CONTROLLER_POLICY_JSON`. That variable holds the
cell limit, a price table with a review expiry, a pinned lockfile
digest, and self-hashed bound proofs.

**Current behavior**

A campaign with more cells than `maxCells` fails before provider work.
Expired prices also fail before provider work. Any change to the
lockfile needs a new pin. A one-cell policy made all 41 TestOps cases
fail as infrastructure, so an operator had to edit the variable by hand
before the full run.

**Proposed behavior**

The workflow derives the policy at preparation time. The cell count
comes from the selected catalog. Prices come from a committed table with
a version and a source URL. The controller installs the committed frozen
lockfile. One optional variable, `RUNNER_PROTOCOL_EVAL_MAX_USD`, can
override the committed $400 spend cap.

**Reason and benefit**

Each piece that was hand-maintained duplicated a check that already
exists. The manifest digest binds every allocation. The frozen install
binds dependencies to the reviewed commit. Under model-request
readiness, the self-hashed bounds never changed admission or accounting.

**Breaking changes**

The old variable is no longer read. It can stay set or be deleted.
Retained manifests that include the old proofs still replay.

## What Changed

- Add
`packages/paperclip-runner/scripts/controlled-evals/hosted-defaults.json`.
It holds the spend cap, duration, route, Claude Sonnet 5 prices,
allocation, overhead reservation and trace limits.
- Add `hostedPolicy()` in `hosted.mjs`. It derives `maxCells` from the
selection. It gives each campaign a validity window from preparation to
one hour after its deadline. It applies the optional spend cap override.
- Remove `capacityBound` and the policy self-hash from hosted
preparation. `manifest.mjs` needs model `provisionalBound` only when
readiness is not `model_requests`.
- Workflow: stop reading the policy variable. The controller build
installs the committed `pnpm-lock.yaml` with `--frozen-lockfile` and
fails on any lockfile drift. Preparation checks that the runtime receipt
lockfile digest equals the committed lockfile. The catalog limit is now
1 to 512 selected cells.
- Keep everything else the same: the spend-cap check before provider
work, private S3 retention of the manifest and derived
`hosted-policy.json`, receipts, tracing, first-attempt and zero-retry
gates, and paid-environment approvals.
- Update `hosted.test.mjs`, `portable.test.mjs`,
`runner-protocol-eval-workflow-security.test.mjs`, and
`docs/runner-protocol-live-evals.md`.

## Verification

- `node --test scripts/controlled-evals/hosted.test.mjs`: 8 pass. The
new tests show that `maxCells` equals the selection and that the
validity window covers the deadline with no committed expiry. They also
show that the spend cap override applies. With the committed defaults,
41 cells validate with $339 reserved, and 49 cells fail on the $400
budget.
- Negative controls still fail: drift in selection, source or attempt; a
bad lock digest; missing tracing; a duration over 4 hours; a malformed
or too-low spend cap; and zero cells.
- `node --test scripts/runner-protocol-eval-workflow-security.test.mjs`:
20 pass. Controlled admission now passes whether the old variable is
absent, still set, or malformed. A real git checkout with a modified
`pnpm-lock.yaml` fails the controller guard before install.
- `node --test scripts/controlled-evals/controller.test.mjs
scripts/controlled-evals/portable.test.mjs`: all pass.
- `actionlint .github/workflows/runner-protocol-live-evals.yml` and `git
diff --check` pass.
- `tests/runner-e2e/workflow-security.test.ts` has 5 failures that this
change does not cause. They concern `pr-trusted.yml`,
`chat-catalog-testops-case.yml` and `runner-full-stack-e2e.yml`. This PR
does not touch those files.
- I have not run a live controlled campaign on this branch. Controlled
mode runs only from the default branch. The current 41-case run uses
master and the existing variable.

## Risks

- The committed price table has no expiry. A provider price change needs
a reviewed edit to the table. The spend cap still limits the maximum
spend.
- If the committed lockfile does not match the package manifests, the
controller build fails before provider work. CI already requires a
frozen lockfile.
- The spend cap is now $400 by default. It was $339 in the last manual
policy. The cap is a reservation limit, not expected spend. The expected
spend for 41 cases is about $5–20.
- Only ACPX Claude Sonnet 5 has a committed allocation, as in the old
variable. A new controlled model needs a committed price entry and
allocation.

## Model Used

Anthropic Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) in Claude Code, with tool
use and code execution.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 5f61392cd6 Reconcile dormant Codex predecessors through ordinary recovery (#19132)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The native Runner keeps provider and controller journals between
turns.
> - A process can stop after a completed turn while those journals
remain valid.
> - The next owner must reconcile that source before it starts new work.
> - This pull request reuses ordinary recovery and authenticated run
attachment.
> - Existing journals and owner admission keep retained work under its
source.
> - The benefit is conversation recovery without another snapshot format
or native mode.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19057. Built on merged #19129. This is the Codex recovery
transport foundation. Process selection and controller scheduling remain
separate changes.

On normal startup, `paperclip-runnerd` selects durable transport from
its connection arguments. With `--connect-url`, the Runner dials the
controller. With `--listen-address 0.0.0.0 --listen-path
/api/runner/v1/connect/<run-id>` and optional `--listen-port` (default
`43127`), the controller dials the Runner. Both use the same durable
entry point for fresh launches and recovery. The bootstrap ticket
authenticates startup, and `recoveryIntegrityVersion` advertises a
recovery capability.

## What Changed

- Observe the existing recovered command journal before provider
restoration. A saved dormant Codex session with no uncertain effectful
command must still be dormant after restore. Ordinary active same-run
recovery keeps its existing behavior.
- Preserve prepared providers during snapshots, drain and cleanup. New
completed-predecessor admission excludes prepared state. Existing
cleanup and ordinary continuation keep their established behavior.
- Advertise `recoveryIntegrityVersion: 1`. Reject the removed
`--source-reconcile` flag. No separate native source mode or command
whitelist remains.
- Derive controller admission from the authenticated `authorityRunId`
and actual Runner identity. Reuse retain-only settlement through
attachment, authentication and checkpoint persistence. Preserve dynamic
ownership across home configuration and later warm reuse.
- Require the selected execution driver's trusted
`sourceRecoveryVersion: 1` prelaunch attestation for a stopped
predecessor. Binary metadata alone cannot authorize that launch.
Ordinary live adoption keeps its existing path.
- Support fresh authorized preparation from `recoveryLaunch: {
requirements }` without replacing the source's ordinary cache. Require
an authenticated owner throughout that transport's lifetime. Preserve
immutable recorded policy through target preparation and later warm
attachment; compare explicit settings using the provider factory's
effective defaults.
- Complete interrupted attachment at the existing fresh-snapshot
boundary: persist the checkpoint, recheck current ownership, complete
the external recovery callback, then release a real predecessor dispatch
hold. Keep callback/checkpoint failures retryable and cancellation
cleanup retained.
- Preserve completed-session event delivery after target attachment,
exact-thread history projections, source registration identity, exact
command replay and nullable usage redaction.
- Recheck current ownership and the queued run when a slow notification
consumer presents a permission request. Suppress stale presentation
while preserving the committed event and pending request for
source-owner settlement.

## Verification

Current head `e90bb379178db75f78e440c92e108f0bbe01e073` merges master
`499712c68b3c` and is fully verified. [PR

[Runner

and [Docker
Runner](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42058217365)
all passed. [Standard Greptile review
18](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/19132#issuecomment-6645302809)
scores this exact head 5/5 with no unresolved threads. The earlier Apex
review 16 applies to `c09ebb4a2a6c`, as recorded below; no new Apex
review was requested after the documentation or master-forward changes.

The conflict integration preserves upstream external cold-state
restoration before completed-handoff inspection, predecessor ownership
and pending-command checks, and the lost-source early-read exclusion.
Live adoption still does not restore a backup. All 43 focused process
cases passed across cold restore (including denied/foreign state),
staged handoff, ordinary adoption and source recovery. Runner `tsc
--noEmit`, parent-relative diff checks and added-line
secret/personal-data scan passed.

[Read the rewritten

it explains dial and listener startup, then follows completed run A
through ordinary recovery and authenticated attachment to run B. The
guide was rewritten in documentation commit `75db893fb9ab` and is
unchanged by the master-forward. Its listener CLI test and both
goal-update process tests passed.

Earlier feature head `c09ebb4a2a` includes a process regression for a
goal notification arriving between the restored goal response and the
final thread response. Before the fix the Runner admitted the provider.
The new tests prove that an active goal refuses admission and reaps the
provider, and that a paused goal is delivered normally. Both process
tests and five adjacent ordinary recovery cases pass locally. GitHub CI
passed on the first attempt, including the main, Windows, and Docker
workflows. Standard review 15 and Apex review 16 each scored this commit
5/5, with zero unresolved threads. [GitHub

[Greptile
review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/19132#issuecomment-6645302809)

- The final ownership-race checks pass 7 focused cases, including owner
changes during checkpoint persistence, handler publication and saved
receipt recovery.
- Native `codex_provider ordinary_recovery`: 6 passed, including
saved/live mismatch, pending and indeterminate same-run goals, settled
idle restoration and prepared reads/cleanup without a provider restart.
- Native `paperclip-runnerd tests::`: 9 passed, including metadata and
legacy flag rejection.
- Native
`interrupted_result_delivery_reconciles_exact_receipts_without_reexecuting_operations`:
passed.
- Final focused compatibility run: 24 process cases passed, including
all 19 retained-settlement rows with queued snapshots, both home
variants of A-to-B-to-C, ordinary attachment/suspension and
environment-prepared close.
- Existing `recovers an active second warm business run after deleting
its controller context assets`: passed.
- Runner `tsc --noEmit`, `git diff --check`, and added-line secret and
personal-data scans passed.
- Real native processes with the maintained fake Codex provider prove
abrupt A exit, ordinary recover A, same-process attach B, a second
successful turn, ordinary warm attach C and a third successful turn on
the same thread. Both isolated and preconfigured homes pass. The
isolated case also exercises environment option copying.
- Additional process cases cover cacheless preparation, same-PID
controller restart adoption, revoked preparation, retained tool-input
admission, direct attachment, ordinary suspension and unexpected live
goals.
- A prior revised-head CI run exposed 8 retained-cleanup failures caused
by prepared auto-restoration. That new behavior and its journal-binding
code are removed. All 19 affected settlement variants now pass locally.
The same CI run also had one environment-prepared close failure (focused
check passes) and two unchanged Cloud sign-in E2E heading timeouts.
Original logs remain recorded. Full suites and platform checks run in
CI.

Previous head `16772ad3e1abfdae9abcc64f8221fa3644ecee58`: [PR workflow

and [Docker Runner

passed. Greptile review 14 scores this exact head 5/5 with no unresolved
findings. The PR remains draft.

CI evidence: an unchanged `idle-completed-history` local HTTP readiness
case failed in the initial server 11/12 job (127092367616) and its first
targeted retry (127096952128). The isolated case and the full 75-case
file passed locally. The same-head debug retry (127103567635) passed,
and the full workflow is green. Original failures remain recorded. No
fixture diagnostic, assertion change, or timeout change was pushed.

Focused review-fix validation:

- 57 process cases passed across recovery, attachment and all 19
retained-cleanup variants.
- Final staged matrix: 5 cases, each exercising
queued/prepared/activated/completed boundaries, across owned
connect/listen, legacy no-owner connect/listen, and retained
cancellation cleanup.
- Four completion-failure cases pass: synchronous/asynchronous callback
failure, checkpoint failure before any callback, and owner rebind during
persistence before any callback. Fresh-snapshot retry succeeds without
duplicate provider work.
- Saved-policy positive and explicit-conflict negative pass, including
an authenticated compatible target grant and B-to-C continuity with
omitted live settings.
- Factory/Core checks: 34 passed, including effective ACPX defaults,
real policy changes, already-dispatching target work and predecessor
admission.
- Ordinary adoption compatibility checks: 11 passed. Cacheless owner
construction/revocation and policy checks: 6 passed.
- Deferred permission ordering/forwarding: 30 passed. The new
regressions reproduce owner changes before queueing and before
slow-consumer delivery; matching-owner presentation and later
source-owner settlement remain intact.
- Runner `tsc --noEmit`, `git diff --check`, and full-PR added-line
secret/personal-data scan passed at the corrected head.

New tests reproduced both review findings and premature completion on
failed persistence/changed ownership before the fixes. Full suites
remain assigned to CI.

## Risks

- Fake-provider tests do not prove vendor restore inertness or rollout
fsync.
- The process owner must prove stopped ownership, no successor and
strict dormant provider admission before a predecessor launch. This PR
does not select or stop host tasks.
- Ordinary suspended active-goal continuation remains distinct from
completed-predecessor admission.
- Live dormant checks use bounded goal and thread reads. Unsupported or
conflicting responses fail closed.
- Prepared provider state is outside new predecessor admission. Reads
and cleanup retain their baseline behavior. The feature targets
completed between-turn session-open or exited sessions.
- No tenant changes or image publication are included.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol (`gpt-6.1-sol`), high reasoning, through Codex with
local code and command tools.

DottaandPaperclip 499712c68b fix(runner): restore cold state before inspecting completed handoffs (#19254)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native Runner saves provider sessions and controller state across
turns.
> - A completed warm handoff leaves a receipt in the controller journal.
> - A later cold continuation must restore external Runner state before
it can inspect that receipt.
> - The transport read the missing physical file before it called the
restore hook.
> - This pull request prepares admitted external state before that
inspection for completed handoffs.
> - Live Runner adoption and pending transitions retain their existing
ownership checks. The provider thread can continue after a cold restore.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #19225 and #19157. This fix changes the shared transport read
order. It does not depend on the open source-reconciliation extension in
#19157.

**What happened?**

A cold continuation after a completed warm handoff could fail with
`runner_remote_state_unavailable`. The saved controller journal was
valid. The physical Runner state was absent because its restore hook had
not run yet. A later automatic reattachment could then fail an
allocation identity check.

**Expected behavior**

Restore admitted external state before inspecting a completed handoff.
Retain the original provider thread. Refuse a denied restore or foreign
session without starting provider work.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Open a Codex session and complete a warm handoff to a second run.
2. Suspend the session and retain the controller journal and provider
backup.
3. Start a third run with no physical Runner state until the external
preparation hook restores it.
4. Read the retained thread. Before this fix, the read fails before
preparation.

## What Changed

- Prepare external Runner state before inspecting a completed
warm-handoff receipt.
- Keep live Runner adoption, pending attachments, and active warm
transitions on the existing exact-state path.
- Add a real Runner and controlled Codex regression for successful
restore, denied restoration, and a foreign restored session.
- Document the cold-continuation order in the execution contract.

## Verification

- Red: the new real-process regression fails on unpatched source because
resume reads the absent `runner-state.json` before preparation.
- Green: all three new cases pass. The restored thread keeps its
identity. The controlled provider starts one thread and resumes it once.
No turn is replayed.
- Adjacent safety suites: 60 cases passed across warm attachment,
interrupted attachment recovery, suspension, and cold restore. The new
foreign-session case also passes separately.
- Runner TypeScript and generated protocol checks passed.
- Full workspace typecheck and build passed. Runner TypeScript checks
passed again after the live-adoption guard. The full local test command
remains in progress; all required CI test jobs passed on the current
head.
- The first CI run found two live-adoption regressions: an already
completed staged handoff must not restore a backup while its Runner is
live. The guard now excludes live adoption. All six cases across cold
restore and staged handoff pass locally. The original CI failure remains
recorded in run 42047027346.
- Greptile reviewed the corrected head
`f33a041c8902c39ca52b995d53128fc23b0b5499` at 5/5. There are no review
threads or findings. All current-head CI gates passed.
- Live staging verification remains pending normal deployment. No pinned
serving image or bulk migration is part of this PR.

## Risks

The change calls an existing external preparation hook earlier for
completed handoffs. That hook must remain idempotent and must enforce
restore authority. Live adoption, pending attachments, and active
transitions do not gain this earlier call. The negative regressions
assert that a refused restore and a foreign session start no provider
work and do not change the authority journal.

## Model Used

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 8227259d86 feat(task-chat): show the agent's native plan as a task list above the composer (#19252)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents run through the native runner. The runner turns each
harness's native plan into a canonical `plan.updated` event.
> - The task chat did not show these plans. A small "Step 2 / 5" pill
showed the checklist only on hover, and in live runs it received no plan
data.
> - Live tests found three breaks. The UI flattened `plan.updated` into
tool rows. Headless Claude Code hides its task tools from current
models. Codex ships its `update_plan` tool disabled.
> - This pull request fixes the three breaks and replaces the pill with
a docked plan card above the composer.
> - The benefit is that users see what the agent finished, what it does
now, and what comes next. The view is the same for Claude, Codex, Grok
and Copilot.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**
Task chat UI (turn status island), native runner ACPX launch environment
for Claude, and native runner Codex app-server launch arguments.

**Problem or motivation**
Harnesses report native plans, and the runner records them as
`plan.updated` events. Users do not see them. The live transcript
builder converts `plan.updated` into generic tool rows, so the plan
steps are lost. Claude Code in headless mode does not offer
TaskCreate/TaskUpdate for current models, so Claude never makes a plan.
Codex 0.160 has `update_plan` disabled by default, so Codex writes its
checklist into a Paperclip document instead.

**Proposed solution**
Keep the full plan snapshot in the live transcript. Enable the Claude
task tools with `CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_TODO_TOOLS=1` in the ACPX launch
environment. Enable the Codex plan tool with
`tools.update_plan.enabled=true`. Show the plan as a docked card with
clear rules for when it shows, collapses and hides.

**Alternatives considered**
Show the plan only in the hover popover (the old behavior). Users did
not find it. Write the plan into the issue Plan document. That mixes a
per-turn checklist with the reviewed planning document.

**Roadmap alignment**
This makes existing native runner plan events visible. It adds no new
protocol or data model.

**Additional context**
Grok and Copilot needed no harness change. Cursor could not start in a
local worktree instance (an unrelated startup admission problem), so
this PR does not verify Cursor.

## What Changed

- `ui/src/components/transcript/native-run-events.ts`: keep
`plan.updated` as `provider_activity` with family `plan` and the full
payload, not as a tool row.
- `ui/src/components/task-chat/TaskChatTurnStatusIsland.tsx`: replace
the hover pill with a docked plan card. It shows done, current, upcoming
and blocked steps, a progress bar and file-change totals.
- Visibility rules: hidden with no steps and after the run ends;
collapses when all steps are done; header only for one-step plans and
while a question or approval is pending; window around the current step
for plans over 7 steps; collapsed by default on mobile.
- `ui/src/components/TaskChatThread.tsx`: pass `defaultCollapsed`
(mobile) and `compact` (pending runtime request), and reset the card per
run.
- `ui/src/components/task-chat/transcript-adapter.ts`: keep the `failed`
step status.
- `packages/paperclip-runner/src/drivers/acpx/environment.ts`: set
`CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_TODO_TOOLS=1` for Claude launches. A host value
cannot turn it off.
-
`packages/paperclip-runner/src/drivers/codex/codex-security-config.ts`:
add `-c tools.update_plan.enabled=true` before the policy overrides and
the `app-server` subcommand.
- `ui/storybook/stories/tasks/task-chat-agent-plan.stories.tsx`: new
story for each state. It uses the production composer dock, composer and
question takeover.
- Tests for all of the above. `ui/src/index.css` replaces the unused
popover size token with a list max-height token.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/components/transcript src/components/task-chat
src/components/TaskChatThread.test.tsx src/adapters/paperclip-runner`
(1345 tests pass).
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec vitest run
src/drivers/acpx/environment.test.ts src/drivers/codex` (pass).
- UI and runner typecheck are clean. `pnpm check:token-gates` is clean.
- Storybook: open "Tasks and conversations / … / Task chat / Agent
plan". The "All States Gallery" story shows every state. "Live Run
Simulation" animates a run.
- Live test on a local worktree instance with real API keys: a
multi-step task for each harness. The card showed and updated during the
run for Claude (Opus 5.5), Codex (gpt-5.6-sol), Grok (grok-4.7) and
Copilot (gpt-5.6-luna). For Claude the card collapsed when all steps
were done and hid after the run ended.
- Codex probe: `codex exec` with the pinned 0.160 binary reports no
`update_plan` tool by default and reports the tool with `-c
tools.update_plan.enabled=true`.

## Risks

- Claude and Codex now get their plan tools. Agents can spend a few
tokens on plan updates. The tools are standard harness features.
- The Codex flag goes before the web-search and project-instruction
policy overrides, so the existing policy tail check still holds.
- Runs that finish fast show the card only briefly. This is the intended
hide rule.
- Cursor plan display is not verified.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 e37ab23dbc fix: hold an agent's new work while its provider usage limit is active (#19246)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Routine-driven agents run on the native Runner through ACP harnesses
such as Claude
> - When the agent's provider account runs out of allowance, every new
wake for that agent fails the same way
> - The ACP harness reported the exhausted allowance as a generic
"terminal limit failure" with an `unknown` category, so Paperclip could
not tell it from a context or turn limit
> - Paperclip recorded a reset time only for the failing run's own
startup retry; other wakes of the same agent kept dispatching, each
spent about two minutes on workspace setup, and then failed
> - This pull request classifies the limit, keeps its reset time, and
holds the agent's new work until that reset
> - The benefit is that a limited agent stops burning runs, shows a
clear "waiting for usage limit reset" state with a time, and resumes its
queued work after the reset

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13148
Refs #13379

**What happened?**
A routine-driven Claude agent on the native Runner failed 29 times in
about 15 hours. 20 runs failed with `native_provider_terminal_failed`
and "ACP agent reported a terminal limit failure." The recorded provider
failure had category `unknown`. 6 runs failed with
`provider_session_open_rejected`. Their `session.open` result is
`command_execution_failed` with classification `provider_rate_limit`,
and the provider failure is HTTP 429 `rate_limit` ("would exceed your
account's rate limit"). The startup retry of one such run recorded a
cooldown until one hour later. A new wake for a different task of the
same agent dispatched 16 minutes later, spent two minutes on workspace
setup, and failed with the same 429. Separately, 4 runs failed with
"Project authentication conflicts with this agent's managed AI
connection". That message did not say which file or setting conflicted.
The same message was also shown when the check could not finish.

**What did you expect?**
A provider usage limit is classified distinctly. Paperclip records the
reset time when the provider reports one. New work for that agent waits
for the reset with a visible reason. Queued work resumes after the
reset, and no doomed run starts. A configuration conflict is reported
only when one is found, and the message names the file to fix.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Use a native Runner agent with a Claude ACP harness whose account is
rate limited or out of usage.
2. Let a routine or assignment wake the agent on several tasks.
3. See each run fail with a generic terminal limit failure or a
`session.open` rejection, and see new runs keep starting.

## What Changed

- Runner: The ACPX turn now receives the typed AIR session failure
(`onTerminalSessionFailure`) through the runtime host and the ACPX port.
The sidecar adds the provider's title to the provider failure message.
Only a rate-limit or quota title becomes `rate_limit` or
`quota_exhausted`. Context, turn and configured budget limits stay
`unknown`. The failure details stay private.
- Server: A native `turn.failed` with a `rate_limit` or
`quota_exhausted` provider failure is now `native_provider_usage_limit`,
the same code as the Codex usage-limit terminal.
- Server: `agentProviderLimitCooldown` (extracted from the startup
retry) also reads a reset clock in the provider's wording, such as
"resets 2am (UTC)". The clock parser moved from the recovery service to
`provider-quota-reset.ts` without changes.
- Server: New `heartbeat/provider-limit-wait.ts`. Before any workspace
or provider work, a queued run for an agent with an active provider
limit is cancelled as `provider_limit_wait`. The run records the reset
time, whether the provider reported it, the category and the run that
reported the limit. Paperclip schedules one retry of the same wake at
the reset through the existing AI connection wait lane. That lane does
not consume the failure retry budget. Manual runs, recovering runs,
conversation turns and pool-routed connections are not held.
- Server: The execution projection shows "Waiting for usage limit reset"
with the reset time and the next step.
- Server: Only a found project authentication conflict is a
configuration failure. Its message names the project file and the
settings to remove. A check that cannot finish (timeout or another exit
code) is now an ordinary failure, not a configuration conflict.
- Docs: `doc/execution-semantics.md` describes the agent-level limit
wait.

## Verification

Red before the fix, green after:
- `server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-provider-limit-wait.test.ts`: An
automation wake after a 429 `session.open` rejection dispatched the
adapter before the fix. Now the run is cancelled as
`provider_limit_wait` and a scheduled retry exists at the reset. After
the reset passes, the retry is promoted and the work succeeds. A manual
run, a later success, expired evidence and an unclassified terminal
still dispatch.
- `native-startup-retry.integration.test.ts`: "reads the reset clock
from an ACP terminal limit failure's provider wording" (it fell back to
one hour before).
- `native-session-executor.test.ts`: An ACP `turn.failed` with a typed
`quota_exhausted` or `rate_limit` failure is a usage-limit terminal;
`unknown` is not.
- `packages/paperclip-runner/src/drivers/provider-failure.test.ts`: A
typed AIR limit title is kept and classified; context, turn and budget
limits are not; details do not leak.
- `execution-projection.test.ts`, `ai-connections.test.ts`: The wait
label, and conflict versus unfinished check.
- Safety cases: `runtime-host.test.ts` and
`codex-runtime-adapter.test.ts` forward the callback. The existing
startup retry, provider capacity, recovery classification, legacy
reconciliation, retry scheduling and execution configuration suites
pass.

Commands:
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-provider-limit-wait.test.ts
src/__tests__/ai-connections.test.ts src/services/native-runtime/
src/services/recovery/ src/services/execution-projection.test.ts
src/services/legacy-execution-recovery.test.ts
src/__tests__/heartbeat-retry-scheduling.test.ts
src/__tests__/heartbeat-execution-configuration.test.ts`
- `cd packages/paperclip-runner && npx vitest run
src/drivers/provider-failure.test.ts
src/drivers/acpx/runtime-host.test.ts
src/drivers/acpx/codex-runtime-adapter.test.ts
src/cli/acpx-runtime-sidecar.test.ts`
- `tsc --noEmit` for server and paperclip-runner; the ACPX sidecar and
provider-failure contract checks pass.

I did not run a live provider limit on staging. The live evidence is the
staging run records for the affected agent, which I read only.

## Risks

- The limit evidence is per agent, not per account. If the board changes
the agent's AI connection, automatic wakes can still wait until the old
reset (at most one hour when no reset was reported, and at most one
day). A manual run is not held, and one successful run clears the
evidence.
- A new wake that arrives during a limit is now cancelled and retried at
the reset, instead of failing. The task stays in its status, and the run
shows the reset time.
- The Runner change takes effect when the provider pack is rebuilt and
deployed. Until then, the server still holds new work using the existing
`rate_limit` evidence from `session.open` rejections.
- A turn terminal with a typed rate limit or quota is now
`native_provider_usage_limit` instead of
`native_provider_terminal_failed`. Both are terminal and board-owned.
The recovery text now asks the board to restore provider usage capacity.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 26391707fb fix(runner): never settle an OpenCode reply truncated at the output limit (#19242)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native OpenCode runs turn the provider's last assistant text into
the task's visible reply
> - A model can loop until it reaches the output limit. The provider
then reports `finish: "length"`
> - The driver used that cut-off text as the final answer, and the run
succeeded with a broken reply
> - This pull request treats a response that stopped at the output limit
as incomplete
> - The benefit is that users get the accepted completion summary or one
corrected answer, never a truncated wall of text

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
In a QA staging run, an OpenCode agent on
`openrouter/deepseek/deepseek-v4.1-flash-1017` called `paperclip_finish`
correctly. Then it produced about 32,000 output tokens of repeated text
(`E2E_QUIP_QUIP_...`) until the output limit stopped it. The driver
selected this truncated text as the settled final answer. The run
succeeded, and the task reply was wrong.

**Expected behavior**
A response that the provider stopped at the output limit is not a
complete answer. If an accepted completion report exists, its summary is
the reply. If not, the driver asks for one concise final answer. If that
also stops at the limit, the turn fails.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a native OpenCode turn where the model calls `paperclip_finish`.
2. Let the next assistant message run to the output limit (OpenCode
reports `finish: "length"`).
3. Before this change, that message text is emitted as the final
`agentMessage`.

**Paperclip version or commit**
master at e8163fc860.

## What Changed

- `opencode-server-driver.ts`: record assistant messages that finish
with `length`. Emit a `harness.diagnostic` with code
`opencode_output_limit_reached`.
- Exclude text from these messages from final-answer selection and from
the empty-response check. An accepted completion summary then resolves
the reply (existing behavior when no final text exists).
- Without an accepted result, reuse the existing single correction
prompt. Its first sentence says that the previous response reached the
output limit and was discarded.
- If the correction also fails, the turn fails with
`opencode_output_limit_reached`, not `opencode_empty_response`.
- `native-provider-failure.ts`: add `opencode_output_limit_reached` to
the known OpenCode runner failure codes.
- Tests: new `output-limit.test.ts` (limit then answer, limit twice,
normal), and a driver test for a runaway reply after an accepted
`paperclip_finish`, with a new fake-server scenario.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run src/drivers/opencode` in `packages/paperclip-runner`:
13 files, 166 tests passed.
- Negative controls: with the old driver, the two new limit cases and
the post-completion case fail.
- `native-provider-failure.test.ts`: 57 tests passed.
- The live QA staging journey is not verified yet. That needs a staging
deploy of this change.

## Risks

- A long but valid answer that ends exactly at the output limit is now
discarded and gets one correction request. The provider itself marks
such an answer as cut off, so it was already incomplete.
- When pre-tool commentary exists and the only post-tool text is
truncated, existing selection rules can pick that commentary. This is
the same as the existing behavior when no post-tool text exists.
- Only the OpenCode driver changes. Other drivers are not affected.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, via Claude Code with
tool use (shell, browser, code editing). Extended reasoning was used.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 03abe1f1a1 fix(native): keep the transport cause on a closed notification stream failure (#19240)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs read provider events from a shared session notification
stream (Codex, OpenCode and ACPX drivers use it)
> - When that stream closes, the driver fails the session with
`notification_transport_failed`
> - The run error was only "Provider notification transport failed
closed." The real cause was only in a diagnostic event
> - In a staging soak, many runs on OpenRouter and Grok agents showed
this error. Operators read it as a provider fault. The diagnostic events
showed a host-side cause: a stopped sandbox plugin worker ended remote
runner supervision
> - This pull request keeps the redacted, bounded cause on the terminal
failure message, and does not name the provider
> - The benefit is that a failed run shows why it failed, so operators
do not chase the wrong provider

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
Native runs failed with `native_provider_terminal_failed` and the error
"Provider notification transport failed closed." The run did not show a
cause. All failures in one cluster happened inside one minute, on
several agents and models (OpenRouter DeepSeek, Grok). Each run's
`harness.diagnostic` event had the real cause, for example
`runner_process_termination_unconfirmed: runnerd process supervision
failed: Cannot call "environmentExecute" — worker for "<plugin>" is
stopped`, or `native_adopted_runner_identity_unverifiable: runner
liveness could not be revalidated`. The sandbox duplex transport
reported a `provider_exit` loss about 30 seconds before (the read-only
process probe budget).

**Expected behavior**
The terminal run error keeps the redacted cause. It does not blame the
model provider when the cause is host-side runner supervision.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Open a native Codex-protocol session and start a turn.
2. Make the notification stream throw (for example, a supervision
error).
3. Read the `session.failed` and `turn.failed` messages. Before this
change they are the bare generic text.

## What Changed

- `codex-session-notifications.ts`: the `notification_transport_failed`
terminal message is now `Notification transport failed closed: <cause>`.
The cause is redacted first, then whitespace is collapsed and it is
bounded to 1,000 characters. The `Error: ` prefix is removed. The code
and `recoverable: false` do not change.
- New regression in `codex-protocol-integrity.test.ts`: one
`session.failed`, the cause and code are present, the secret is
redacted, the length is bounded, and `turn.failed` has the same message.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: an additive note that this failure can
come from host-side runner supervision, and that the message keeps the
redacted cause.

## Verification

- Red: before the fix, the new test failed: `expected 'Provider
notification transport faile…' to contain
'runner_process_termination_unconfirmed'`.
- Green: `cd packages/paperclip-runner && npx vitest run
src/drivers/codex/ src/conformance/local-provider-fault-matrix.test.ts
src/native-session-runtime.test.ts` (565 passed).
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p packages/paperclip-runner/tsconfig.json`: no new
errors. The existing `src/eval/workflow-harness.ts` errors come from an
unbuilt workspace package.
- Staging evidence was read with read-only GETs only (run, events).

## Risks

- Low risk. Only the message text changes. The failure code,
`recoverable: false`, and the safe-replacement rules do not change. The
server matches on the code, not on the message.
- This PR does not add a retry in the same turn. Runner termination is
unconfirmed when supervision is lost. A retry or replacement could start
a second executor. The remote process probe already retries read-only
checks inside a 30-second budget. Recovery stays with the existing
ownership and recovery checks.
- The cause text can include a plugin id. It goes through the existing
provider-diagnostic redaction.

DottaandPaperclip 85e4d12856 fix(evals): report controlled protocol cases from safe records (#19070)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Runner protocol qualification records real provider behavior in
TestOps.
> - Controlled attempts keep raw records and accounting in private
storage.
> - A live case passed, but a later public-render command rejected its
controlled context.
> - The missing public report caused the final result to be stored as
broken.
> - This pull request creates the closed TestOps result from existing
sanitized records inside the private report job.
> - The benefit is correct result reporting while the privacy guard
stays effective.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18985 and #19011. The related-PR search found no separate repair
for this failure.

**What happened?**

[The live
canary](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41916513378)
passed all four provider checks. Its controller verified cleanup and
closed its request accounting. The private canonical report recorded one
passed case. The next command used `--public-viewer` while the
controlled manifest remained set. The eval program rejected it with
`controlled campaign evidence must remain private`. The closed exporter
then had no public payload and correctly stored a broken result.

**Expected behavior**

Report the original case grade from sanitized structured records. Keep
raw controlled records private. Keep the original checks, source
bindings, and missing-evidence rules.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run one controlled protocol case with TestOps reporting enabled. Let the
private canonical report finish. The following public-render step fails
before the closed result can read the grade.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Observed at `4740d251b7032e714d33039ba66a56948238c38f`. This repair is
based on `c6cb7e2a2d42743c0c3c4ead2cbad4a299f9a2e7`.

**Deployment mode**

GitHub-hosted Linux, controlled ACPX Claude protocol qualification,
first workflow attempt, zero automatic retries.

## What Changed

- Add a narrow `export-runs` path to the existing TestOps helper. Bind
the sanitized score and artifact to the exact attempt, case, model,
provider, driver, and public-projection schema. Reuse the existing
strict grade and check validation.
- Keep sanitization inside the private report job. Use structured
records for controlled TestOps reporting. Keep the public viewer for
legacy publication.
- Add record identity, privacy, grade, command, and workflow routing
controls. Wire the existing helper and workflow-security files into the
required Node registry. Document the reporting path.

## Verification

- 43 focused campaign/sanitizer, TestOps and workflow security tests
passed. The command regression writes a raw attempt, calls the
production sanitizer, and runs `export-runs` on its output. It also
repeats that chain after a failed-check mutation. Both new-control files
now run through required `test:typescript:prep`, not only the optional
publisher script.
- The actual required prep ran locally with provider credentials
excluded. The eval-kernel and Rust builds passed. Its Node registry
executed the new producer-to-export and security controls by name: 403
passed, 2 failed, 11 existing skips. The two original package-contract
failures cannot resolve this isolated clone's Codex ACP and Claude ACP
package links. This is not a green local full-prep claim. The first
attempt also stopped at a missing Node-types link, before an ignored
clone-local link to the locked cached version restored that
prerequisite.
- 72 release workflow tests passed with the existing locked pnpm 9.15.4
wrapper and local loopback permission. The first sandbox run failed
because loopback fixtures could not listen; the default local tool path
also failed two install fixtures. No test assertions were changed to
resolve these failures.
- The actual repaired workflow shell ran locally against the retained
canary campaign and sanitized records. It emitted one closed passed
result with all four original checks. No provider request or upload
occurred.
- Missing or failed checks still reject a pass. Private-only markers
stay absent from the closed output. Wrong model, provider, driver,
attempt, case, and schemas reject.
- The unmodified, pinned eval program still rejects a controlled
public-viewer command.
- Actionlint and `git diff --check` passed. [Full final-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41927878886)
passed on its first attempt at `0d0c090b1b`. Required verify/e2e gates,
all four Runner lanes, typecheck, build, backend and browser shards
passed. Package suite: 4951 passed, 10 existing skips across 297 passed
files and one existing file skip.
- The required static log contains passing lines for both the production
sanitizer-to-export command regression and the closed-projection
security control. The prior optional-script registration did not run
those tests in required CI; the one script-entry fix now enforces them.
Provider/runtime and workflow bytes are unchanged by the
verification-only follow-ups.
- Greptile: fresh 5/5 on `0d0c090b1b`, with no actionable new issues.
The separate Paperclip Review requested a producer-to-consumer
regression. That regression and its required-CI wiring are complete. The
addressed thread is resolved; no open review threads remain.
- No fresh deployed reporting pass is claimed. The failed workflow and
its stored broken result remain unchanged.

## Risks

The exporter reads structured records inside the private job. It copies
only the closed result fields and requires the existing sanitized marker
and identity checks. The final reporting job still receives only those
files and verifies the saved result bindings. The Python privacy guard,
provider path, case assertions, budgets, deadlines, and retries are
unchanged.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, exact model `gpt-6.1-sol`, max reasoning effort. The
inherited runtime reports a 475,000-token context window. Capabilities
used: reasoning, code changes, and repository, shell, and GitHub tools.

Devin FoleyandClaude Opus 5.5 7f9ef38273 fix(runner): report the upstream cause of OpenCode provider failures (#19166)
OpenCode reports some OpenRouter failures as an UnknownError whose message is the provider's JSON error body. The provider failure now reads its HTTP status, error type and message from that body, so the run shows the upstream message instead of raw JSON.

The OpenCode nativeTurnFailure diagnostic now carries the provider failure's category, retryability and HTTP status (closed values only; no provider text or code), and recognizes the driver's opencode_empty_response code. Run status, error codes and retries do not change.

Devin FoleyandClaude Opus 5.5 6452e964a3 fix(runner): ignore replayed history for restored terminal turns (#19035)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Paperclip Runner executes native provider sessions (Codex app-server
and ACPX) and can resume a run from an exact persisted checkpoint on a
replacement sandbox.
> - When a turn completes without a semantic result, the server
schedules one same-run disposition recovery from that checkpoint.
> - On the replacement sandbox, the restored runner can deliver the
committed history of the checkpointed turn again as live notifications,
before the disposition turn starts.
> - Between turns there is no active turn. The identity classifier only
marks settled-turn notifications as `stale_turn` while a different turn
is active, so the replayed `turn/started` reaches the live-turn guard
and fails the session with `turn_binding_mismatch` ("Provider started an
unexpected turn."). Recovery then stops with
`native_event_replay_conflict`.
> - This pull request makes the driver drop replayed history for turns
that were already terminal in the restored checkpoint.
> - The benefit is that exact-checkpoint disposition recovery can
continue instead of failing closed on its own history.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A hosted ACPX run (Claude model) completed its first turn without a
semantic result. The server persisted an exact-checkpoint disposition
recovery. The second attempt restored the harness state from the
verified failover backup on a new sandbox. About 3.7 seconds after the
runner transport was ready, and before any `turn.submitted` event, the
driver failed with `turn_binding_mismatch: Provider started an
unexpected turn.` The run then stopped with
`native_event_replay_conflict` and required workspace repair.

**Expected behavior**
Notifications that only replay a turn that the checkpoint already
recorded as terminal must not fail the resumed session. The disposition
turn must start normally.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Open a session, start turn `turn-1`, and complete it without a
semantic result.
2. Take the snapshot and recover the session on a new transport.
3. Deliver `turn/started`, `item/*` and `turn/completed` notifications
for `turn-1` again, before or during the disposition `turn/start`.
4. Before this change, the session fails with `turn_binding_mismatch`.
If the replay arrives while `turn/start` is pending, the driver binds
`turn-1` as the new turn and fails with "Codex turn identity changed
during start".

**Paperclip version or commit**
Observed on a staging release built from `c2163b3ecf08`. Reproduced on
`master` at `89703c3`.

## What Changed

- `CodexSessionState` records the turn IDs that were terminal in the
restored checkpoint (`restoredTerminalTurns`). It also adds
`isRestoredTerminalReplay(turnId)`. This is true only when the turn was
restored as terminal, is not the active turn, and the session has not
failed.
- `codex-session-notifications.ts` drops `turn/started`, `item/started`,
`item/completed` and item or turn delta notifications for such turns. It
emits no turn or item events for them. It emits a bounded
`provider_notification_identity` diagnostic with `classification:
"restored_terminal_replay"`, and shares the existing limit of 32
diagnostics.
- A replayed `turn/completed` is unchanged. It still goes through
`mapTerminalTurn`, which compares the terminal fingerprint and fails on
a conflict.
- New regression file `codex-app-server-driver.terminal-replay.test.ts`.
It replays history before and during the disposition submission. It also
checks that a live session still fails closed on `turn/started` for a
turn that ended in that same session.

## Verification

- Red before the fix, on `master` with only the test file added:
- `npx vitest run
src/drivers/codex/codex-app-server-driver.terminal-replay.test.ts` gives
2 failed and 1 passed. The "before" case fails with
`NativeProviderTerminalFailure: Provider started an unexpected turn.`
(`providerCode: turn_binding_mismatch`). This is the production error.
The "during" case fails with `Codex turn identity changed during start`.
- Green after the fix: the same command gives 3 passed.
- Related suites: `npx vitest run src/drivers/codex
src/drivers/acpx/codex-acpx-driver.test.ts
src/conformance/harness-driver.test.ts
src/backends/harness-driver-backend.test.ts
src/live/live-session.test.ts` gives 567 passed and 1 failed. The
failure is `codex-boundaries.test.ts > defers provider-owned workspace
existence without weakening its assignment`. It also fails on unchanged
`master` in my sandbox, because the sandbox workspace path triggers the
sensitive-path check. It is not related to this change.
- `tsc -p tsconfig.json --noEmit` shows no errors in the changed files.
The only errors come from the unbuilt
`@paperclipai/paperclip-eval-kernel` package in
`src/eval/workflow-harness.ts`, because I did not run the eval build
prep step locally.

## Risks

- The change relaxes the guard only for turn IDs restored as terminal
from the checkpoint. Notifications for those IDs are now ignored and do
not fail the session. A provider cannot use a settled turn ID for new
work, so these notifications cannot be new provider activity.
- Live post-terminal notifications, pre-turn notifications, foreign turn
IDs, `paperclip/runResult`, and tool calls keep their current
fail-closed behavior. The new test covers the live post-terminal case.
- Limitation: this change makes the driver tolerant of the replay. It
does not change why the runnerd transport cursor replays the committed
window on exact-authority recovery. The transport-level reason was not
reproduced here. The new diagnostic makes the event visible in run logs,
so later evidence can confirm or reject that path.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, used as an agent with
tool use, shell and test execution, and repository search.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 3a72efebe5 fix(native): confirm no runner process when remote staging fails before launch (#19059)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native sandbox runs supervise a remote `paperclip-runnerd` process.
When that process exits during a turn, the transport restarts it inside
a reconnect grace window.
> - The server launcher stages the runtime assets first. Then it sends
one launch RPC that starts runnerd.
> - When staging failed, the launcher reported the exit as unconfirmed.
This happened although no launch RPC was sent and no process could
exist.
> - Reconnect recovery treats an unconfirmed exit as a possible second
owner. So it stopped at once with
`runner_process_termination_unconfirmed` and did not retry.
> - This pull request confirms the exit for failures before the launch
RPC. Failures after dispatch stay unconfirmed.
> - The benefit is that a transient staging failure, such as a full
sandbox disk, uses the normal bounded retry. A real failure ends with
`transport_reconnect_grace_exceeded` and keeps the staging error as the
detail.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
On a hosted staging deployment, 7 native ACPX runs failed in 24 hours
with `Provider notification transport failed closed.`
(`native_provider_terminal_failed`). In every run, the runner process
exited during the turn. The replacement launch then failed while it
uploaded the runtime context into the sandbox:
`runner_process_termination_unconfirmed: replacement runner health could
not be verified: ... .paperclip-upload-<uuid>.tar.gz: create: ... no
space left on device`.
The sandbox disk was full. No replacement process was started. But the
launcher said that it could not confirm the exit. So recovery did not
retry inside its grace window.

**Expected behavior**
A staging failure before the launch RPC proves that no replacement
process exists. Recovery must retry within the configured reconnect
grace. If the failure continues, the run must end with the
reconnect-grace failure and the staging error.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create a remote runner launcher whose `ensureArtifact` step throws,
for example with an ENOSPC upload error.
2. Wait for the handle completion to reject.
3. Before this change, `isExitConfirmed()` returns `false`, and no
launch RPC was sent. The transport then fails closed with
`runner_process_termination_unconfirmed`.

**Paperclip version or commit**
Observed on staging revision `89703c3`. Reproduced on `master` at
`be20d4ad97`.

Related: #19035 and #19014 change other runner paths (replayed terminal
turns and redacted external tool results). They do not change remote
launcher exit evidence. #18999 adds a free-space reserve for host-volume
seed copies. It does not change sandbox disk use or this classification.

## What Changed

- `createRemoteRunnerProcessLauncher` records when it dispatches the
launch RPC. If the completion fails before that point, the handle
reports `isExitConfirmed() === true`. The original error is kept
unchanged.
- A failed or timed-out launch RPC still reports an unconfirmed exit,
because the RPC may have started runnerd.
- Added a launcher regression for a staging failure before dispatch.
- Added safety cases for a failed and a timed-out launch RPC.
- Added a transport regression with the real `paperclip-runnerd`. A
replacement whose staging fails is retried, and the next launch restores
the durable session without a notification failure.

## Verification

- Red before the fix: `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts -t "remote
runner process supervision"` failed `confirms no replacement process
exists when staging fails before the launch RPC` with `expected false to
be true`. The two launch-RPC safety cases passed.
- Green after the fix: `npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts` passes 1131
of 1131 tests.
- `npx vitest run src/services/native-runtime/setup-readiness.test.ts`
passes 98 of 98 tests.
- `cd packages/paperclip-runner && npx vitest run
src/live/runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts` passes 246 of 246 tests with
the real debug `paperclip-runnerd`. This includes the existing case
where a replacement with a dispatched but unverifiable process still
fails closed.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server` and `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/paperclip-runner typecheck` pass.
- Not run: a live hosted sandbox with a full disk. The staging data
showed the exact error, but this change was not deployed there.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change affects only failures that occur before the
launch RPC. In that window, the launcher has not run any sandbox command
that can start runnerd.
- Retries now run for the reconnect grace window, which is bounded and
uses the existing backoff. Each failed staging attempt cleans its own
upload scratch.
- This change does not free sandbox disk space. If the disk stays full,
the run still fails, now with `transport_reconnect_grace_exceeded` and
the ENOSPC detail.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, used through Claude
Code with tool use, shell execution, and code editing.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip a0c0851766 Runner: add private host control channel (#19129)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip coordinates AI agents and their execution.
> - A hosted Runner can remain alive between turns.
> - Its host needs to park, claim, or retire that process without a
persistent Core connection.
> - Those requests need a private channel with bounded input and safe
retries.
> - This PR adds the channel codec and socket handling as an isolated
foundation.
> - Later lifecycle changes will validate and execute the requests.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Current behavior**
The Runner has no task-private host control channel. The earlier
combined lifecycle change was split for review.

**Proposed behavior**
Add a private Unix stream protocol for host lifecycle requests. This PR
does not wire it into Runner startup or advertise support. It can be
reviewed independently of stopped-process recovery.

**Reason and benefit**
Review frame parsing, credential handling, and retry behavior before
adding park and claim transitions. This replaces the transport portion
of #19060. The source-recovery work supersedes #19057 and #19058.

## What Changed

- Add `host_control.rs` and enable the existing rustix dependency's
socket APIs.
- Accept only a connected Unix stream. Set close-on-exec so provider
children do not inherit it.
- Bound request frames to 16 KiB. Reject unknown fields, malformed
requests, and EOF with a credential-free error.
- Add socket-pair tests for framing, deadlines, retries, conflicts, and
receipt-window reset in a separate test file.

### Transport contract

Each request is one newline-delimited JSON object. Each response is `{
"id": "request-id", "status": "..." }` followed by a newline.

| Request | Required binding | Intended effect in the later lifecycle
consumer |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `park` | Six Runner identity fields, last controller command sequence,
acknowledged source sequence | Retain the process and mounts after the
controller has settled that exact cut |
| `claim` | Park request ID and a fresh bootstrap ticket | Reconnect the
retained process through authenticated bootstrap |
| `retire` | Park request ID; optional claim ID and identity/sequence
cut | Retire only the matching parked or claimed process |

The six identity fields are Runner instance, environment lease, run,
normalized session, turn, and item IDs. This module only parses requests
and sends responses. The lifecycle consumer must validate these bindings
before performing an effect.

Before applying a request, the consumer checks the in-memory response
cache. An identical retry receives its prior status. Reusing a completed
request ID with different content returns `conflict`. Conflict responses
do not reserve an ID. A successful `parked` response starts a new cache
window; the consumer's identity, sequence, and park-ID checks must
reject requests from older windows. Credentials are neither persisted
nor included in errors.

Active reads are nonblocking. Parked reads block on socket input and may
have a caller-supplied receive deadline. Partial frames do not extend
that deadline. No idle polling is added.

## Verification

- `cargo test --offline --locked --manifest-path
packages/paperclip-runner/runner/Cargo.toml -p paperclip-runner-core
--lib host_control::` — 6 passed.
- Confirmed the repeated-chunk test fails when reads incorrectly reset
the original deadline. Restored production code and reran the targeted
suite.
- The initial policy gate did not recognize inline Rust tests. Moved the
same tests to the existing `src/tests/` convention.
- GitHub CI passed on `aaac996aba76`. Greptile is 5/5 on that commit,
with no unresolved review threads.
- A local merge-tree check against current master `1a7eb70a37bf` is
conflict-free.
- Reviewed changed lines for secrets, personal data, and private
deployment references before push.

## Risks

The module is dormant in this PR. It does not make a VM sleep, detach
Core, or evict a Runner. Integration must enforce the documented
identity and sequence fences before replying with success. The response
cache is process-local and does not provide recovery across process
death. Linux and Windows compilation are covered by CI; local socket
tests run on macOS.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex with tool use and code execution. GPT 6.1 Sol with High
effort handles the parallel recovery work; this isolated channel change
is implemented by the coordinating Codex agent.

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 aa8372fd5d fix(accounting): post late usage to its owning run (#18991)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native Runner sessions keep one provider conversation across task
turns, so Paperclip accounts usage per run.
> - Codex can report more usage for a turn after its run's charge was
posted.
> - The Runner then marked the session `reconciliation_required`. If
another run was attached, it also failed that run. Core refused the
delivery with `native_usage_after_finalization_requires_reconciliation`.
> - That usage has already happened. Blocking the session cannot undo
it, and the debt waited for an operator while the run totals stayed
wrong.
> - Codex totals are cumulative, and the Runner already knows the owning
run in most cases. So the correct amount can be posted automatically.

work, and an old run's usage can no longer fail a newer run.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No issue exists. I searched open and closed pull requests and issues for
"late usage", `native_usage_after_finalization_requires_reconciliation`
and `codex_usage_accounting_integrity`. I found no duplicate.

**What happened?**

Code review found this while diagnosing session recovery failures. When
Codex reported usage above the known total for a turn that was not
active, the Runner blocked the session. If that turn belonged to a
previous run, the Runner also failed the attached run with
`codex_usage_accounting_integrity`. Core kept the receipt as debt, and
could correct it automatically only if the token counts were unchanged.

**Expected behavior**

Late usage does not stop any run or session. The charge goes to the run
that used the tokens, and it is auditable.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Finish a Codex turn on a native Runner session and attach the next
run.
2. Have Codex send `thread/tokenUsage/updated` with a higher total for
the finished turn.
3. On the unfixed code, the attached run fails and later attaches are
refused.
`late_codex_usage_requires_durable_reconciliation_before_or_after_handoff`
encoded this behavior.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `04a24f4e06`.

**Deployment mode**

Any deployment that uses a native Runner with Codex.

## What Changed

- **Runner:** late usage no longer sets `reconciliation_required` or
fails a run. For a turn that belongs to a previous run, the Runner emits
`usage.reported` with the increment in `runDelta` and the owner in
`reconciliation.priorOrigin`. `runDeltaAvailable` stays `false`, so an
older Core does not bill it to the attached run.
- **`CodexRunUsage::absorb_late_usage`:** treats only usage above the
known thread total as late, and keeps the attached run's delta
unchanged. A report at or below that total adds nothing, so the sum
across runs always equals the thread total and a replay cannot charge
twice.
- **Delivery:** `captureLateUsageForOwner` stores the increment as a
late receipt on the owning run. The owner must be a finished run in the
same company and native session. If the Runner cannot name the owner,
Core uses the session's last finished run and records the attribution as
`inferred`.
- **Local Runner:** late usage stays with the run that is active when it
arrives, or the next run. Usage reported between two runs stays in the
next run's delta, so the total stays exact.
- **Accounting:** `reconcileLateRunUsageReceiptInTransaction` posts a
token increase as a new cost event with the key
`heartbeat:<run>:late:<receipt>`. It updates the run totals so the
accounting integrity check still agrees, records
`cost.late_usage_posted` in the activity log, and queues budget
evaluation.
- **No more refusal:** `persistUsageReceipt` no longer throws after it
saves late evidence, so late usage cannot wedge a Runner outbox.
- **Covered receipts:** an older same-source receipt at or below the
accepted totals, with matching billing, is cleared because a newer
cumulative receipt already covers it. Conflicting billing stays as debt.
- **Older Runners:** a zero-filled invalidation stays on the delivering
run.
- **Unchanged:** a newer lower total, a changed model or billing type,
and per-model receipts stay as visible accounting debt for an operator.
- **Unchanged:** an unexpected provider message during the warm
attachment drain still fails closed. A separate change addresses that
gate.
- **Docs:** added "Late provider usage" to `doc/execution-semantics.md`.

## Verification

- `cd packages/paperclip-runner/runner && cargo test --locked -p
paperclip-runner-core --test codex_provider`: 99 passed, 2 ignored.
- `cargo test --locked -p paperclip-runner-core --lib codex_usage`: 7
passed. This includes new tests for the out-of-order and repeated report
cases.
- `cd server && pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/run-cost-accounting.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-usage-delivery.integration.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-recovery-usage-delivery.test.ts
src/__tests__/cost-data-quality.test.ts`: passed against embedded
PostgreSQL before the last review fixes, and the accounting and delivery
files were re-run after them.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p .` in `server` reports no errors.
- New tests cover exact and inferred owners, repeated delivery, late
usage that arrives before the owner's charge posts, another session's
run, an older Runner's report with no increment, a same-run increase,
and a lower total. They also run the accounting integrity check after
posting.
- **Review:** Greptile Apex scored 1/5, 4/5, 3/5, 2/5 and 4/5 while
findings were fixed, then 5/5 at the current head.
- **Local Runner:** driver tests cover usage reported between two runs,
including across a restore. No end-to-end local run has exercised it.
- **Not run locally:** the full test suite. CI provides that coverage.
- **Not verified live:** a read-only check of a test deployment found no
late receipts in its history, so this path has only run against
fixtures.

## Risks

- **Run totals can rise after a run finishes.** This is deliberate. The
correction is a separate cost event and an activity log entry.
- **Budgets are corrected after the fact.** A late charge can put an
agent over budget after later work has started. Budget evaluation runs
after each correction, but it cannot prevent that work.
- **Local sessions accept imperfect attribution by design.** Their late
usage can land on the active or next run, because local sessions have no
durable path for routing it. This also applies after a Stop or a pause.
The total stays exact.
- **Out-of-order reports can leave tokens on the wrong run in the
session.** If a prior turn's report arrives after the attached run has
already counted past that total, those tokens stay on the attached run.
Moving them would need a lower correction to the attached run. The total
stays exact.
- **Inferred attribution can name the wrong run in the session.** The
usage still belongs to that session and the total stays correct. The
attribution is recorded as `inferred`.
- **A session with no finished run charges the delivering run,** as an
inferred late charge after its own charge posts.
- **Rollout order:** deploy Core before the Runner. An older Core would
keep this event on the attached run as incomplete usage, and would still
refuse a same-run late receipt.
- **Migrations:** this change has no migration.

Dotta 8002dfb06e fix(evals): repair bounded TestOps protocol admission (#19011)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people manage AI agent work through a governed
control plane.
> - Runner protocol qualification uses real providers and records
selected cases in TestOps.
> - A manual registration run starts an Allure watch session before it
validates the case selection.
> - Watch creates the job run, but it does not fill the empty job-run
input in the child environment.
> - The selection helper therefore stops before it can validate the new
job run.
> - A configured AWS concurrency ceiling can also reject a valid smaller
hosted-runner request.
> - Hosted tool-cache permissions can also violate Runner
qualified-executable admission before a provider starts.
> - This pull request captures official session identities, keeps both
concurrency ceilings, and stages the same Node bytes in an owned
directory.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18985.

**What happened?**

The [first registration
attempt](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41877603952)
created an Allure job run, then stopped with
`runner_testops_jobrun_missing`. The child inherited an empty
`ALLURE_JOB_RUN_ID`. The helper made no job-run API read and executed no
provider case.

The current configured concurrency ceiling is 100. The controlled hosted
cap is 57. The original catalog guard rejects 100 before it applies a
valid requested value of 2. The [first service-selected
attempt](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41884365232)
reproduced this second pre-provider failure. Its selected case was
correctly reported as broken. No provider cell ran.

A [second service-selected
attempt](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41887671585)
passed selection, lock and cost preflight. Runner rejected a qualified
ACPX launch artifact as group- or world-writable. It recorded no model
request. The verified sidecar is mode 0755. Hosted Node is the only
other launch artifact, which points to Node as the cause. The original
run did not retain its exact mode. The TestOps reporter retained the
infrastructure failure.

**Expected behavior**

The manual path must capture the job-run and launch IDs from the active
official watch session. It must validate those IDs against the same
GitHub run, job, launch and standing plan before provider work. A
requested concurrency value must fit the configured ceiling and the
selected runner cap. The default must use the lower ceiling. Before
credentials, the worker must stage the same Node bytes in an owned
directory and preserve Runner permission and digest admission.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Dispatch the trusted Runner protocol workflow with reporting enabled
and an empty job-run service input.
2. Let `allurectl watch` create the registration session.
3. Observe that the original helper rejects the empty child input before
selection validation.

## What Changed

- Call the supported `allurectl job-run env` command for manual
registration. Use a fixed argument list without a shell and bound its
time and output.
- Parse only numeric job-run and launch IDs. Reject missing, duplicate,
malformed or conflicting values. Discard all other command output.
- Bind the captured launch ID to the authoritative job-run response.
Keep the service-supplied ID path and its existing checks.
- Apply requested parallelism within both configured and physical
ceilings. Use their minimum as the default. Keep the selected-case
capacity and provider budget checks.
- Snapshot the same current Linux Node bytes into a fresh owner-only
directory before credentials. Verify the copy, execute it to bind its
path and version, and put only that directory first on the job-local
path. Record original and copied Node modes and hashes plus the actual
sidecar mode and hash. Keep shared cache permissions and Runner security
checks intact.
- Add focused context, identity, concurrency, permission and
secret-exclusion controls. Supply the production physical cap in the
existing release-workflow fixture.
- Fix the existing Kimi cancellation fixture to await the complete
readiness sentinel within the same 100 by 10 ms bound. Keep its
cancellation and cleanup assertions.

## Verification

- The original empty-ID failure reproduces locally on the actual helper
with all 41 standing cases and zero job-run API reads.
- All 63 Node publication, projection, metrics, permission and
workflow-security tests pass. The repaired manual context flows through
the actual selection helper to case 194. Wrong launch, duplicate IDs,
malformed values and command failures still stop selection.
- The original catalog prefix rejects configured 100 / hosted 57 /
requested 2. The repaired prefix admits 2, clamps a missing request to
57, keeps legacy 100, and rejects requests above either ceiling.
- The full release-policy CI command passes locally: 72 release-workflow
tests and 107 companion tests. The first sandbox run could not bind its
loopback fixtures; the same tests passed with local-network access. The
prior-head CI fixture omission is retained and fixed by supplying the
same physical cap as production.
- Both full static Node file groups pass locally: 418 passed and 11
existing opt-in skips, at concurrency 2. Initial runs used stale
dependency links and failed. Correcting only isolated ignored links to
declared cached dependencies and pnpm 9.15.4 removed those setup
failures. Local Node 26.4 differs from CI Node 24; the exact-head CI
below provides canonical verification.
- `actionlint .github/workflows/runner-protocol-live-evals.yml` and `git
diff --check` pass.
- The new staging helper passes all four tests as a nonroot Linux user
with networking disabled. An actual retained Runner comparison
reproduces the qualified-artifact rejection with Node mode 0777. The
same Node bytes at 0500 in a 0700 directory pass that launch boundary
and reach a closed provider session. The local turn still fails without
credentials or network; this is permission proof, not a protocol case
pass. Local Linux Node 24.21 differs from the hosted 24.22.1 executable.
- Exact final head `8e06ee5611` [repository
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41892896405)
completed successfully. Typecheck, build and all four Runner lanes
passed. Runner package tests passed 4950 tests in 297 files, with 10
existing skips. Fresh exact-head Greptile review is 5/5 with no
actionable findings or open threads. Prior `59378f` CI Kimi
empty-sentinel race and canceled chat worker remain retained.
- The patched manual workflow has not run against live TestOps. A
separate service-triggered probe supplies its own ID. The service probe
used the original concurrency guard with a temporary configured ceiling
of 57. After the probe, the original repository ceiling 100 was restored
with no active campaigns. That probe does not verify this patched
concurrency code. The next launch waits for the protected merge and
source/lock verification.

## Risks

An incompatible official CLI output fails closed. The helper never
evaluates the output or records its unknown variables. The existing job,
workflow URL, source, plan and provider checks remain required. An
omitted concurrency request now uses the lower of the configured and
physical ceilings. Explicit requests above either ceiling still fail.
The worker now executes a private copy of its existing Node binary. A
copy, mode, hash, path, version or sidecar mismatch stops before
credential access. The copy does not make dynamically linked Homebrew
Node portable; this workflow path is Linux only. This change does not
alter the provider roster, policy, limits, retries or result grading.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6. The exact hosted model ID and context window are
not exposed in this session. Used reasoning, code editing, repository
inspection and tool execution.

DottaandPaperclip 8a0e7ab511 fix(runner): preserve ordinary append for unscoped governed terminals (#19044)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages work done by AI agents.
> - A native turn can park on a saved human question or approval.
> - Its terminal event can return a committed receipt before observers
finish.
> - That option requires an explicit turn ID at the event port.
> - The protocol also permits events without a turn ID.
> - The runner requested the option for those events, which the port
rejected.
> - This change keeps those events on the ordinary append path.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #19025.

**What happened?**

The native governed-wait observation can accept a schema-valid
`item.completed` without a turn ID. If the later terminal also has no
turn ID, the runner compares two absent IDs and requests
`deferPostCommitObservers`. The event port rejects that option. The run
then fails with `governed_wait_provider_terminal_unproven`.

**Expected behavior**

Only a terminal with an explicit turn ID can request the early receipt.
An unscoped terminal must keep the ordinary append behavior and await
its observers. The event port must retain its turn identity check.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a pending human-only interaction from the run.
2. Pass a schema-valid completed tool event without a turn ID through
the real governed-wait observation.
3. Supply an interrupted terminal without a turn ID during the
cancellation drain.
4. Run the actual native runtime with the PostgreSQL event port. The
parent code rejects the deferral request and reports a failed terminal.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `4ea53f9eb5a24de10db3dfda18456132987c4af8`. The follow-up
was identified by a review published after #19025 merged. No observed
provider emission or original-task recovery is claimed. I checked
current master and related PRs before this correction.

**Deployment mode**

Built from source. The regression uses real PostgreSQL and a
deterministic provider boundary; it makes no model call.

## What Changed

- Require a truthy terminal turn ID before the runner requests deferred
observers.
- Keep ordinary append behavior, the port identity check and all
timeouts unchanged.
- Exercise the production governed-wait observation with a persisted
pending interaction and the real event port.
- Retain exact-turn observer and checkpoint controls. Add a direct
rejection control for unscoped deferral.
- Document that unscoped terminals await their observers.

## Verification

- First meaningful red: the actual observation, native runtime and
PostgreSQL port fail on the unmodified parent runtime. The new case
reports `NativeProviderTerminalFailure` in 143ms; this is not a setup or
deadline failure.
- Focused regression and authority controls: 12 passed, 69 filtered.
Full runtime suite: 203 passed. Full PostgreSQL port and timing suites:
84 passed.
- The tests leave the human-only interaction pending with continuation
policy `none`, accept one result, and start only one turn. Existing
scope, invalid evidence, checkpoint, abort, duplicate and restart
controls remain.
- Exact candidate: `8840ea2c9c308e5a60423e67fb3612d24029ba84`.
Repository-wide `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build` and `pnpm
check:module-boundaries` passed on this exact head. `pnpm test:run` is
still in progress and is not reported as passing. Current-head CI
passed: 55 success, 3 skipped and 1 neutral, including required `ci /
verify` and `ci / e2e`. Greptile and Ponytail both reviewed this exact
head at 5/5 with no blocking findings. The native review was
source-only. No unresolved review threads remain.
- No UI, database schema, agent permission or mapped user entry point
changes. No deployment, live retry or provider replay was performed.

## Risks

Unscoped terminals retain the existing observer wait and can still fail
if it exceeds the existing drain deadline. They do not gain an early
receipt. The change does not supply a missing turn ID or weaken source,
company, run, session, cancellation or transaction checks. A PRP
terminal is not physical-stop or accounting-completion proof.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol`, with code and shell tools. The host does not
expose the reasoning mode or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip c99bcd89fe fix: preserve Product TestOps evidence and CI readiness (#19000)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent work through governed product workflows.
> - Product E2E tests check those workflows through the app and Runner.
> - A trusted reporter sends retained results to TestOps.
> - Free-form metadata and a short upload observer can lose safe, valid
evidence.
> - UUID navigation can also discard task metadata before the canonical
query returns.
> - Hermetic CI files start child processes that need CPU capacity
within their readiness limits.
> - This change closes the reporting contract, retains authenticated
core aliases, and reserves CI CPU capacity.
> - Original case identities, conditions, assertions, verdicts and
deadlines remain intact.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18983. This addresses its late [metadata disclosure
finding](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18983#discussion_r4470789114)
and [upload readiness
finding](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18983#discussion_r4470790366).

**What happened?**

The reporter accepted model IDs and matcher names through syntax
filters. A secret-shaped string could pass those filters. First-task
results also use their top-level model field for an observed alias.
Treating it as configured metadata can reject valid retained evidence.
The upload observer stopped after 22 seconds of waits.

[Required CI on the earlier
head](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41886885193)
also found two real browser title failures and five native package
readiness failures. A deterministic control reproduced metadata loss
during UUID-to-identifier navigation. A separate fixed-resource control
reproduced startup deadline failures with four concurrent hermetic
fixtures, while one and two fixtures passed.

**Expected behavior**

Reject unknown transmitted metadata before creating upload files.
Preserve every original matcher verdict and attempt receipt. Observe
server processing without rerunning the product. Keep authenticated task
metadata visible through canonical navigation. Reserve capacity for
hermetic child processes without changing the original readiness
deadlines.

**Steps to reproduce**

Use a secret-shaped model ID or cleanup state in retained evidence,
return an observed first-task model alias, or let upload processing
settle after 40 seconds of virtual time. Hold the canonical core query
pending after an authenticated UUID read. For the CPU control, run the
same providerless startup/recovery fixture alone, four times
concurrently, and twice concurrently under a fixed 4-vCPU quota and its
original 8-second readiness limit.

## What Changed

- Bind configured model receipts to each exact declared case model. Four
first-task cases use captured agent configuration; their observed
aliases and fallback text remain digest-only. A missing capture stays
null / Not recorded. The other 16 cells use their configured profile
model. Reject wrong or unknown configuration before any upload file
exists.
- Keep the existing model distribution: 18 Codex cells on `gpt-5.6-sol`,
configured-repository case 9 on its existing `gpt-6.1-sol` override, and
task-workspaces case 54 on `openrouter/deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-0731`.
The repository override exists at the [original canary
source](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/86814c6550f52e99ede150a883bdc773cbb540e3/tests/runner-e2e/catalog.ts#L1148).
No model configuration changes.
- Allow only existing Matcher kinds, closed failure classes, and cleanup
states `passed`, `failed`, or `not_started`. Publish each matcher's
kind, ordinal, original boolean verdict and SHA256 path receipt. Full
conditions remain in the linked original workflow artifact; raw dynamic
path bytes do not enter TestOps.
- Observe the same upload for at most 55 seconds of poll waits. Product
scenarios, provider retries and scenario deadlines do not change.
- Retain task core data under only the authenticated response's own UUID
and identifier core keys. Preserve existing canonical data. Keep
arbitrary references and full-detail keys empty until their own reads.
- Retain a first-failure trace for the existing Cloud recovery test.
Keep its assertions, timeout, retries, mock data and artifact policy
unchanged. This adds diagnosis evidence; it does not claim to fix that
separate Cloud title timeout.
- Reserve half the available CPUs for Runner package CI workers, with
the existing upper cap of four. A 4-vCPU host uses two workers; an
8-vCPU host still uses four. Local defaults and test selection do not
change.

## Verification

- Reporting controls first reproduced the two original gaps. All 14 Node
contract tests now pass. Unknown configuration creates neither a result
directory nor an export summary. A model valid for a different selected
case is also rejected. Original functional failures and earlier
accounting receipts survive.
- The catalog compatibility test passes for all 20 selected cells, exact
model tuples, real pure grader outputs and actual
`projectFirstTaskResult` shapes. It covers observed aliases, fallback
text, absent evidence and wrong or secret-shaped configured metadata.
These are contract controls, not live journey passes.
- Virtual-clock controls accept a correct result that settles at 40
seconds and reject a persistently wrong verdict after 55 seconds. They
make no product or provider calls.
- Two new core-cache controls failed before repair. The query/cache
suites now pass all 8 tests. They hold canonical refresh pending and
verify title/company retention, newer canonical data, full-detail
enrichment and unrelated keys. UI typecheck and token gates pass.
- The unchanged exact UUID cross-company link/upload browser test passed
once after repair: 5.8-second scenario, 32.0-second complete command.
The unchanged exact Cloud task-entry diagnostic passed once: 5.4-second
scenario, 23.3-second complete command. Its original canonical-only
timeout remains unexplained. All five Cloud tests still collect after
the trace setting.
- The providerless Linux control used the retained Runner and compiled
controller from source `3a2249dd`, with a fixed 4-vCPU quota and
original 8-second readiness limit. Solo passed 1/1; four concurrent
fixtures failed 4/4; two concurrent fixtures passed 2/2. At each
failure, Rust had accepted command 2 but startup was still pending;
checkpoint and published status agreed, one connection was
authenticated, no replay backlog existed, and the sidecar had not
launched. Passing controls preserved the expected startup failure
through controller replacement. No network or credentials were
available.
- That control uses Linux amd64 emulation and Node 24.21; hosted CI used
Node 24.22.1. It supports the worker-cap change, but does not prove that
the original `m5n.xlarge` host caused every CI failure. The original red
attempts remain recorded.
- Actual config-load controls verify 1 CPU → 1 worker, 2 → 1, 4 → 2, 8 →
4 and 16 → 4, with no local, timeout or retry override. The isolated
policy change preserves the same 297 test-file inventory; integration of
current master `89703c3ff7` retains all 298 current native package
files. The original PR package/native command plans remain unchanged.
- Final head `877e28da32f2d2f0d12906c89aff085e2c6ea943` passes both
required checks, `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e`, in [CI run 41897677652,
attempt
2](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41897677652/attempts/2).
The native package passes 4,950 tests with 10 existing skips. All eight
browser shards pass; the Cloud shard passes all 41 tests, including all
four unchanged recovery cases.
- Attempt 1 preserved 46 successful jobs but its one-file heartbeat
recovery shard hit the original 20-minute job limit without a named
assertion or completion verdict. Its cause remains unidentified. One
explicitly bounded debug replay retained those 46 successes and ran only
that leaf and its dependent rollup. The unchanged file passed all 412
tests (346.91-second file, 371.34-second Vitest command, 7m11s job).
Source, cases and deadlines did not change. This establishes
intermittency, not a causal repair. The original timeout and debug pass
both remain recorded.
- Fresh [Greptile
5/5](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/19000#issuecomment-6637604918)

reviews name exact head `877e28`. The single review thread is resolved.
Live TestOps bootstrap and complete 20-case acceptance remain held until
reviewed delivery. CI and focused controls do not count as product plan
passes.

## Risks

- Future model or Matcher kind changes require a reviewed
reporting-contract update.
- TestOps shows a closed Matcher kind and ordinal. The path digest binds
the original condition in retained evidence.
- Core alias data retains the existing authenticated query-client and
server company boundaries. It never becomes full-detail evidence.
- Fewer CI workers can increase one job's duration. The full suite must
verify the final policy. The paid evaluation matrix and its parallelism
do not change.
- The original Cloud title timeout and the first-attempt heartbeat CI
hang do not have proven causes. Current unchanged assertions pass, but
this does not establish repeatability. The Cloud test now retains its
first-failure trace. A successful upload or focused control alone cannot
establish a complete product pass.

DottaandPaperclip 22735cfcea fix(native): preserve governed terminal receipts during observer settlement (#19025)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages work done by AI agents.
> - A native turn can yield to a saved human question or approval.
> - The provider must stop, and its terminal event must be saved.
> - The old drain waits for both the event transaction and its later
observers.
> - A slow observer can make a saved terminal look unproved.
> - This change separates the committed receipt from owned observer
work.
> - Checkpoint and result acceptance still wait for that work to settle.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A native governed wait can fail with
`governed_wait_provider_terminal_unproven` after its exact interrupted
terminal is already in PostgreSQL. The event port waits for postcommit
accounting, output and projection callbacks before it returns the
receipt. Those callbacks can cross the provider drain deadline.

**What did you expect to happen?**

A committed terminal proves the event transaction. Its observers remain
separate work. A checkpoint or result must not be accepted until those
observers settle. A pending human-only question must keep its audience
and continuation policy.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the real PostgreSQL control-plane regression. Commit a same-turn
interrupted terminal. Hold its postcommit observer beyond the existing
provider drain. The parent code reports an unproved provider terminal.
The fixed code retains the committed receipt and joins the observer
before checkpoint or result acceptance.

No overlapping repair was found in the current master or open-PR search.
Related [#18977](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18977)
covers final conversation-response selection. It does not change this
receipt boundary. The source reproduction is consistent with the
observed failure. The exact hosted provider code is unavailable, so it
does not prove that every observed failure used this branch.

## What Changed

- Add an explicit terminal-only option to the internal event port.
Ordinary appends keep their existing behavior.
- Return that receipt only after the normal transaction and company,
agent, run, session, source and revocation checks.
- Retain the full observer promise. Join it before checkpoint and result
writes. Keep its original rejection and observe it after an aborted
join.
- Reuse the existing provider drain and checkpoint deadlines. Preserve
duplicate and restart replay without another model turn.
- Document the receipt and duplicate-observer replay boundaries. Keep
human-only and no-continuation cards unchanged.
- Assert the actual Codex facade requests deferral only for its
interrupted terminal. Isolate empty skill inventory in monitor-only
process fixtures while retaining their real scheduler, lifecycle,
selection snapshot and three-second deadline.

## Verification

- Meaningful parent red: actual native runtime and real PostgreSQL event
port. The terminal row commits, but a held observer causes
`NativeProviderTerminalFailure` with
`governed_wait_provider_terminal_unproven`.
- Current candidate `0db24ae74ee42fdf92035d8407fc095e9f73cc6a`: full
runtime suite, 203 passed. Real PostgreSQL control-plane, timing and
monitor suites, 103 passed. Runner TypeScript and full layered server
typechecks passed on the unchanged candidate source tree. The controls
cover uncommitted and foreign evidence, explicit false and failed
terminals, held and rejecting observers, abort and controller
revocation, duplicate receipts, and new-port recovery. The real pending
human-only card stays unanswered with continuation policy `none`.
Recovery does not call `startTurn` again.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`, the production server build (including the real
Runner release binary), module boundaries and vendor dependency
verification passed on `6d75`; the follow-up changes only tests and
documentation. Diff checks pass on the current candidate. The prior
`399ad3dc2b` repository-wide `test:run` was stopped as obsolete during
the general-server phase after preserving its progress (exit 130,
incomplete); its repository build was not reached. Its six completed
chat shards passed 1,904 cases, but this is prior-head evidence and not
a full-suite pass. Full current-head CI is required before merge.
- CI attempt 1 on `6d75` failed one real three-second monitor-settlement
assertion; the aggregate verify gate consequently failed. Other jobs
passed. The actual CI merge tree was
`3037bf6db162da3b0a9172046360401f8449ebc5` (`6d75` into `89703c3`). An
unchanged full-file replay reproduced three timeouts. Original-deadline
inspection found the legacy process still preparing; local phase timing
measured cold skill inventory at 6.629 seconds. The original CI did not
retain that phase detail, so its exact subcause remains unproved. The
fixture correction supplies empty skill entries for these skill-free
process tests and still invokes the selection-snapshot callback. It
preserves all assertions and the three-second deadline, with no new
drain wait. All 21 cases pass; deliberately restoring the old
blocked-status rejection still fails the real blocked-check case with
409. No CI retry was issued.
- The prior current-head native review was 4/5 with no production
correctness finding. Its requested direct facade-options assertion and
duplicate-observer wording correction are included. Current-head CI is
green (55 success, 3 skipped), including required verify and E2E;
current-head Greptile is 5/5 with no actionable findings. The old native
advisory remains tied to `6d75`, and its requested findings are
addressed. No new native assessment is claimed or required by
protection.
- The first draft broke three existing transaction-start timing
controls. The no-debt path now keeps the original synchronous start, and
all three pass. Two draft type errors were corrected. A further real-PG
red found an extra default-append assertion after commit. Removing it
restores the original committed receipt after a late abort; the same
aborted signal still cannot write a checkpoint or result. Original setup
and assertion failures remain in private verification receipts.
- Normal merge of current master
`3a2249dd5768313f04b2aa3860dfd363492eda16` has no conflicts. The
affected production source blobs did not change in that baseline merge.
- Local proof uses Node 24.22.2 on Darwin arm64, a real PostgreSQL
instance and deterministic provider-boundary fixtures. It makes no model
call. No deployed replay or original-task recovery is claimed.

## Risks

Deferred observers must remain owned. A missed join could accept
incomplete accounting or output. A rejected or stalled observer must
prevent acceptance, and an abort must prevent late checkpoint/result
writes. The tests exercise these boundaries. The port keeps the existing
best-effort trace-publication handling. This change does not turn a PRP
terminal into physical-stop or accounting-completion proof.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol`, with code and shell tools. The host does not
expose the reasoning mode or context-window size.

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 e107a75755 fix(native): decide session settlement from live state (#18992)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native Runner sessions keep one provider conversation across task
turns, so a later run attaches to a session that an earlier run settled.
> - Three gates decide if a session is settled: Core's journal check,
the Runner's attach check, and the Runner's drain of provider messages
after a turn.
> - Each gate kept a list of harmless events and refused anything else.
Every new harmless event became an outage.
> - An example: Codex replays a settled turn's usage on `thread/resume`,
so `run.attach` refused every session that restarted after its idle
timeout.
> - Events after a terminal describe the past. Refusing the session
cannot undo them, and it hides them.
> - This pull request asks a different question: is anything live or
waiting right now? Past events are recorded and no longer block.
> - The benefit is that harmless events stop breaking session
continuity, with no event list for Core and the Runner to keep in step.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No issue exists. I searched open and closed pull requests and issues for
`run.attach requires a settled Codex provider session` and
`prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate`. Related work: #18890 added
one more accepted event to Core's list. This change replaces that list.
#18991 handles late usage and is independent of this change.

**What happened?**

On a test deployment, 11 runs failed in 21 days when `run.attach`
refused with `requires a settled Codex provider session with no pending
events`. In all 11, the four pending events were two startup audit
events, `session.resumed`, and a `codex_resume_usage_snapshot`
diagnostic. The diagnostic is what the attach check refused. The retry
then failed with `prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate` in 6 of
them, which hid the first failure.

**Expected behavior**

A session with nothing live or waiting accepts the next run. If
attachment fails, the run reports the real cause.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Finish a Codex turn on a native Runner session.
2. Wait for the idle timeout so that the provider process stops.
3. Start the next run. Codex replays the usage for the settled turn on
`thread/resume`.
4. The attach fails.
`durable_backend_attaches_after_a_settled_resume_usage_snapshot`
reproduces this on the unfixed code.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Observed on `8fd917aedf`. The same check is on `master` before this
change.

**Deployment mode**

Cloud deployment, with a native Runner in a plugin sandbox environment.

## What Changed

- **Runner attach:** `attach_run` refuses only for live or waiting
state: no thread, a closed session, a session that needs reconciliation,
an active or ambiguous turn, an active goal, a pending tool call, or an
unanswered provider request. The error now names the reason.
- **Pending events:** they no longer block attachment. They stay in the
retained queue, and the Runner commits them under the prior authority
before it rotates. `session.resumed` is still discarded because it is
superseded.
- **Runner drain:** `drain_completed_turn_tail_for_warm_attachment` no
longer needs a list of known messages. It still fails on a message that
names another turn, on `turn/started`, on a provider request, and on a
process exit.
- **Core:** `isSettledRemoteWarmControlState` accepts any authenticated
event after the terminal unless it starts work (`turn.started`,
`turn.accepted`, `run.attached`, `tool.execution.started`,
`semantic_tool.input`, `runtime_request.created`), or a goal snapshot or
update shows an active goal or work in progress. All identity, source
and protocol checks are unchanged.
- **Visibility:** the next run's log names the event types that were
recorded after the previous run finished.
- **Real cause:** a same-run retry after a failed attachment now fails
with `prior_attach_failed: <original failure>`, instead of
`prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate`.
- **Docs:** added "Session settlement after a run" to
`doc/execution-semantics.md`.

## Verification

- `cd packages/paperclip-runner/runner && cargo test --locked -p
paperclip-runner-core --test codex_provider`: 102 passed, 2 ignored.
`--lib`: 478 passed, 2 ignored. `--test durable_recovery`: 3 passed.
- **Failure before the fix:**
`durable_backend_attaches_after_a_settled_resume_usage_snapshot` failed
on the unfixed code with the same error as production.
- `cd server && pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/remote-warm-session-recovery.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts -t "settled
remote warm control evidence|recovers a blocked|automatically recovers
only a proven settled local session|retained|warm"`: 476 passed, 680
skipped by the filter.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-resume.test.ts`: 57 passed.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p .` in `server` reports no errors.
- **Real data, read-only:** I decrypted the 11 failed runs' stored
events on a test deployment and printed only event types, field names,
and thread and turn IDs. All 11 show the same four events.
- **Audit of live state:** I read the Runner's provider state and
request tracking to build the attach check. It is a code audit. I have
not proved that every kind of live work sets a flag. The Runner holds
active turns, ambiguous starts, tool calls and provider requests in
state today.
- **Not covered:** the wiring that throws `prior_attach_failed` has unit
coverage for its message only, not an end-to-end test.
- **Review:** Greptile Apex scored 4/5, then 5/5 at the current head.
- **Not run locally:** the full test suite. CI provides that coverage.
- **Not verified live:** no live run has used this change.

## Risks

- **Fail-open for unknown live work:** an event type that starts work,
but is not in the short list and sets no state flag, would now pass.
This is the main tradeoff. The previous list failed closed, but it
caused real outages.
- **More events reach the journal after a terminal.** The usage replay
diagnostic is now delivered rather than refused. These events are
informational, and they are named in the next run's log.
- **A failed attachment is not retried on the same run.** Some refusals
could clear on their own, such as a turn that finishes, and some attach
errors are not about live work, such as a failed provider restore. The
run now reports the cause, and it needs another run to continue. On a
test deployment, the next successful run after each failure used a new
provider thread and a new execution workspace. A later change could add
same-run retry.
- **Rollout order:** deploy Core before the Runner. An older Core would
refuse the new events that a new Runner commits after a terminal.
- **Migrations:** this change has no migration.

> For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and
discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap
with planned core work may need to be reworked.

## Model Used

DottaandPaperclip 3a2249dd57 fix(runner): retry proven ingress bootstrap failures (#18981)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native execution must retain its admitted model and execution
authority during recovery.
> - A sandbox provider can reject Runner endpoint acquisition before the
Runner gets a credential.
> - The old error path loses the structured HTTP status and leaves that
startup failure ambiguous.
> - A zero counter in an old checkpoint cannot prove that no credential
was issued.
> - This pull request adds a versioned producer proof and carries closed
provider status through the existing RPC.
> - A proved transient startup failure uses the existing retry budget. A
terminal proved-unused run can settle its accounting.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18018 and #18934. Those changes restore existing checkpoints and
ready retained environments. This change covers endpoint acquisition
before Runner dispatch. A search of related public PRs found no
duplicate implementation.

**What happened?**

A provider HTTP 502 during Runner endpoint acquisition becomes an
untyped worker error. Native recovery treats it as ambiguous and stops
without retrying. The run's native usage receipt also stays pending
after startup ends without model work.

**Expected behavior**

Retry a structured transient endpoint failure only when the complete
current controller checkpoint proves that this exact run never issued a
Runner credential. Preserve authentication, configuration, Stop,
ownership and provider-progress gates. Settle zero usage only under the
existing terminal accounting owner.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Use the controlled endpoint in the Daytona ingress integration test
to return HTTP 502.
2. Register the actual native Runner driver and persist its bootstrap
journal through the encrypted checkpoint writer.
3. Observe the old terminal ambiguous disposition instead of bounded
startup recovery.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on the pre-change master source. The original regression used
the production native driver, a real HTTP fault, a real durable control
plane and local Postgres. The new contract additionally tests the pinned
Daytona SDK and real worker RPC.

## What Changed

- The controller owns a v2 persisted state with retained origin and
credential history. Current readers still accept v1. Older writers
reject v2. Restore and checkpoint decoding do not add missing history.
- The proof validates the complete bootstrap journal, all six identity
fields and every delivery, credential and progress control. The server
rechecks its fingerprint under the current controller claim before retry
or accounting changes.
- Daytona and the SDK carry a closed acquisition phase and HTTP status
through the existing ingress RPC. Both public error wrappers omit
response bodies and causes, including Pino cause serialization.
- Only structured HTTP 429 or 5xx ingress failures can use the existing
three-attempt startup budget. HTTP 401/403, configuration and unknown
errors do not gain retry authority.
- A terminal proved-unused run wakes existing accounting and records
zero provider work. It does not create a semantic result, prove physical
termination or release an unknown process/workspace hold.
- The normal automatic second attempt rechecks its exact claim, frozen
execution and matching complete local/encrypted journal before admitting
absent remote Runner state. It keeps the original pending bootstrap
command IDs. A proved unused Codex home can rematerialize sealed skills.
Full raw local state is checked before streaming-event or policy
projection.
- Normal saved-state readers and the existing E2E journal evidence
matcher accept the closed v1/v2 set. The separate legacy no-launch
witness is unchanged. Technical docs describe the contracts.

## Verification

Current head: `cd38f70409cdb8664e14bfbf4efa208f468a0419` (final delta
adds only fixture artifact preparation). Production files are unchanged
from the independently reviewed `93c8a33520` source. Full repository
typecheck and build passed at `96417acb58`; the affected server
typecheck also passes after the final two-line fixture delta. Focused
protocol, raw-proof, real retry, SDK and RPC acceptance pass on this
source. Earlier broad suite counts are listed with their limits below:

- Durable Runner protocol: 187 tests.
- Native executor, driver, startup/accounting and redaction: 1,211
tests, including real Postgres and encrypted checkpoint persistence.
- Normal saved-state restore/projection compatibility: 21 focused cases.
- SDK: 209 tests.
- Standalone Daytona: 544 tests; 8 opt-in live tests skipped.
- Explicit standalone `pnpm -C
packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona exec vitest run --config
vitest.sdk-ingress.config.ts`: 6 cases with real pinned SDK 0.203.0 and
worker RPC ingress acceptance. These include lookup 502/401/403/400,
private-preview 502 after successful lookup/refresh, missing credentials
and private-response exclusion.
- E2E journal evidence: 4 cases across both supported formats, with
wrong ownership, missing stimulus and unknown-schema controls.
- The exact historical controller source rejects a new v2 checkpoint at
decode and restore. A v1 control is accepted. This verifies the
downgrade fence with the actual older parser.
- Startup controls cover issued and pruned credentials, old/truncated
journals, provider progress, exhausted retry accounting, and
checkpoint/Stop/controller-claim races. Race cases retain the current
execution and pending usage.
- New exact admission controls: 19 cases through encrypted persistence
and cold restore. They cover current/stale/expired claims, Stop, pause,
model/trust/account changes, prior progress, issued/pruned credentials,
adopted/old/truncated state, local/canonical fingerprint mismatch,
hidden delivery, unsupported work and company scope. Two additional
red/green cases prove that raw local stream progress and missing event
policy are rejected before lossy checkpoint projection. No case mutates
run, claim, result or accounting state.
- Actual native executor, scheduler and Rust Runner retry: 2 cases.
Codex uses its fake app server. OpenCode uses the real proxy and fake
OpenCode HTTP server with the frozen DeepSeek model and allow permission
configuration. Each path launches no Runner on attempt 1, starts one
Runner and provider on attempt 2, reuses both original command IDs,
commits one accepted result, validates the persisted local workspace,
records nonzero synthetic native usage and settles accounting once. No
zero-work accounting flag survives.

The controlled SDK and protocol tests use local source, isolated
PostgreSQL, a private HTTPS preview and fake provider servers on macOS
arm64 with Node 24.22.2. They create no hosted sandbox and make no model
call. The root workspace intentionally omits standalone provider
dependencies; the explicit SDK target fails if its pinned dependency is
absent and has no conditional skip. They do not qualify hosted rollout
or repair an old unmarked checkpoint. The first full local typecheck
found missing checkout SDK links from an install with scripts disabled;
the repository link helper repaired that setup.

Current-head Linux CI typecheck and build pass. Independent final review
checked 12 source scopes and six raw-proof controls with no remaining
finding. Fresh Greptile review is 5/5 with no unresolved thread.

The full Runner CI suite found two older control-peer test doubles
missing the new proof method. Both now return no proof, with all 27
permission, ordering and cancellation assertions retained and passing.
The new Cargo-dependent native retry suite uses the existing Rust-cached
CI lane. All 39 lane coverage controls pass and prove complete,
duplicate-free suite coverage. The first full test run stopped at an
admitted chat Retry polling failure. CI also found a stale
retained-allocation fixture, now repaired on master by #18984, and a
canceled runner job. A real SDK suite initially relied on a dependency
absent from the root workspace; the explicit standalone target now owns
that acceptance.

The separate Product E2E support run had 12 failures in four untouched
files. All 12 reproduce on the original clean base with independent
dependencies, compiled base source and verified workspace resolution.
These concern workflow expectations, cleanup timeout arguments, a
profile snapshot and operating receipts. They are not passing
acceptance.

The later full local repository test command stopped at a 15-second
timeout in the unchanged GitHub pre-allocation retry `controller` case.
That exact case passed in isolation with unchanged assertions. The broad
Runner run initially omitted `test:typescript:prep` and lacked debug
fake-provider binaries. Required preparation then passed 370 + 44
package contract cases (11 skipped); the prepared full package run
reported 4,932 passed, 9 failed and 13 skipped. All failed families then
passed with unchanged assertions in isolation: 8 ACPX controller tests
and 2 credential controls. The paired original-base ACPX control also
passed. The full-run failures remain recorded; they are not passing
full-suite evidence.

The first Rust-cached native CI run found a missing generated OpenCode
proxy in a fresh checkout. The fixture now runs the existing verified
provider-entrypoint builder. Removing the generated proxy reproduces the
exact ENOENT before the fix; both real retry cases pass after the fix
from the same absent-artifact state.

All current-head CI gates pass, including the aggregate verification
check. Linux native CI passes all 10 suites: 177 tests pass and 14
opt-in cases skip. Both real provider retry cases pass. The full Runner
package passes 297 suites and 4,950 tests, with 1 suite and 10 tests
skipped. The CLI workspace groups pass 4,762 and 286 tests. The first CI
attempt had Runner shutdowns in the Runner package, Canary and three
general server jobs. One unchanged CLI shard also hit child-server
startup and dense ZIP deadlines. Both CLI files passed unchanged in
isolation: 18 tests. One bounded rerun of unsuccessful jobs and their
dependents passed. The original failures remain recorded.

## Risks

- Older controllers reject newly written v2 state on downgrade. Current
controllers retain v1 restore support, but old or unmarked state cannot
gain this new proof.
- An older plugin that omits structured ingress evidence remains held.
The server and provider must use the new producer contract for this
recovery path. The Docker `cloud` target builds the SDK, server/Runner
and standalone Daytona producer from one source tree. The default
`production` target does not build the standalone producer. Hosted
rollout must confirm the new image and active image-owned plugin worker;
a registry version alone does not prove its source. An npm-installed
producer needs an explicit matching artifact upgrade.
- This prevents future proved startup failures. It does not release
historical accounting based on an old checkpoint, change retry budgets,
replace a model or weaken sandbox isolation.
- Zero model usage is separate from process termination, saved files and
resource release. Those owners keep their existing gates.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex with tool use and code execution. This runtime does not
expose the exact backend model ID or context window to the agent.
Read-only independent agents reviewed checkpoint compatibility and
SDK/RPC error boundaries.

DottaandPaperclip 039e0dad2c Connect TestOps protocol plans to verified GitHub attempts (#18985)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people coordinate agent work through a governed
control plane.
> - Runner protocol evals test real provider sessions against a seeded
mock control plane.
> - The saved TestOps protocol plan has no GitHub executor. Its
dashboard shows historical results.
> - A current one-case attempt also failed before any tool call or
provider output. Its retained public-safe snapshot withheld the error
cause.
> - This pull request connects selected cases to the existing trusted
workflow and retains closed operator failure facts.
> - Each selected case receives a current result. Missing evidence
remains broken. Existing assertions and machine grades remain unchanged.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Current behavior**

The saved protocol plan cannot start a GitHub qualification attempt.
Historical dashboard results can be mistaken for current execution. A
failed provider turn can also lose its failure category when the live
snapshot applies public evidence redaction.

**Proposed behavior**

The existing workflow accepts TestOps service inputs, validates exact
case identities before provider work, runs the selected cases, and
verifies their published statuses. Eval artifacts retain only validated
failure phase, category, HTTP status, and retryability.

**Reason and benefit**

Operators can run the standing plan from TestOps and inspect current,
source-bound results. A targeted pass cannot stand in for full-plan
coverage. A failed startup can be diagnosed without publishing provider
messages or request identifiers.

## What Changed

- Add optional TestOps selection and protected reporting jobs to the
existing Runner protocol workflow.
- Keep the current actor, source, provider credential, and controlled
accounting gates. TestOps retains the explicitly selected controlled or
legacy mode and a separate 41-case Claude roster. Controlled mode
preserves its existing reviewed policy, immutable bindings, tracing and
zero-retry admission. Its paid workers explicitly use GitHub-hosted
runners, matching the current manifest admission contract even when the
legacy AWS fleet is enabled.
- Bind the exact standing plan, workflow, job run, source revisions,
selected cases, and saved statuses. Accept only verified workflow URL
aliases.
- Create a closed Allure projection inside the report job. Transfer only
fixed case identities, check verdicts, numeric usage and statuses to the
reporting environment. Controlled raw/chat/controller evidence remains
private.
- Publish one result for every selected case. Retain missing
execution/report evidence as broken. Reject unsupported passes, model
mismatch and source drift. Preserve the evidence schema literal, stop
publication on cancellation, and retain closed API error codes/statuses.
- Tag full selections separately from targeted attempts. Add bounded
ingestion observation. Apply the exact TestOps filter before the
unchanged controlled provider/cell-capacity check, so a one-cell
registration fits a one-cell reviewed policy.
- Retain up to eight eval-only closed provider failure records before
board evidence redaction. Forward the original notifications unchanged.
- Add selection, reporting, privacy, and admission regression controls.
Document scope and remaining acceptance.

## Verification

- Direct Node protocol publication, projection, metrics, and security
tests: 56 passed. Focused controls exercise both mode admissions,
missing controlled policy/retries/source rejection, closed result
transfer, exact metadata, and missing-result handling.
- `actionlint .github/workflows/runner-protocol-live-evals.yml` and `git
diff --check` passed.
- A proposed one-cell controlled policy passed the actual hosted
validator with a synthetic prepared request and zero provider calls. The
actual 41-case catalog filter selected case194/get-task-context and the
real hosted admission accepted it under maxCells1. Negative controls
rejected the unfiltered41, unsupported provider, source, selection,
origin, expiry and lock drift. This does not verify provider auth, a
runtime build or TestOps publication; final merged source/lock binding
is still required.
- The actual diagnostic TypeScript module passed positive, negative,
secret-exclusion, and unchanged-notification controls through the
existing tsx runtime. A local actual-CLI startup serializer probe passed
with closed facts, secret exclusion, exit status and read-only fixture
cleanup. This used an isolated resolver into the existing dependency
cache; canonical exact-dependency CI remains required.
- Prior-head CI passed typecheck, Runner static/Rust/native-server
checks and 4946 Runner package tests. One new serializer fixture failed
during Linux read-only directory cleanup; this head applies the existing
neighboring cleanup pattern. Unrelated chat E2E and CLI import timeouts
remain retained. Latest-head required gates are pending.
- Original current-source one-case attempt:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41860234840 . It
failed with no tool calls or output. That failure remains retained and
is not a passing qualification claim.
- Diagnostic candidate attempt:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41863410602 . It
retained the new closed field but still failed before output with
category unknown. This disproves the claim that typed retention alone
identifies the cause.
- The earlier passing run
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40627274706 used
controlled Braintrust routing. Both current failures used direct legacy
credentials, a different auth path. Next acceptance is one explicitly
controlled case with a reviewed current policy, followed by TestOps
registration and a fresh full plan. None is claimed complete by this PR
body.

## Risks

The TestOps contract currently binds the existing 41 cases and one
recorded Claude Sonnet 5 profile. Catalog changes fail closed until
reviewed. This does not qualify other providers. Admission and execution
qualify only the selected accounting mode; a controlled pass does not
prove direct credential health. Model-request readiness retains pending
operating reconciliation. TestOps ingestion can fail independently;
persisted results are checked, and missing evidence is never accepted as
a pass. The new failure field contains closed facts only; raw messages,
identities, credentials, and tool payloads are excluded.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6. The exact hosted model ID and context window are
not exposed in this session. Used reasoning, repository inspection, code
editing, and tool execution.

DottaandPaperclip b891e69bd2 fix(native): correct unread wake comments before completion (#18937)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Native agents report completion through a server-owned tool
boundary.
> - A truncated external-chat request requires a complete run-bound
comment read.
> - The terminal guard checks that receipt after the provider ends its
turn.
> - Early completion feedback omitted the same check and could accept an
unread report.
> - The provider then lost its chance to correct the report in the same
turn.
> - This pull request returns the existing read requirement through the
completion tool before accepting the report.
> - The final guard still protects the exact source and snapshot after
provider settlement.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #16995 keeps run-scoped readers available to retained provider
threads. #18913 preserves queued comment input. This change fixes a
separate completion-feedback boundary.

**What happened?**

A native external-chat run could submit an accepted completion without
reading all server-bound comments. The terminal guard then failed the
run with `native_current_wake_comments_unread`. Early feedback also
accepted partial, changed and foreign read receipts. The agent did not
receive the required correction while it could still act in the same
turn.

**Expected behavior**

The completion tool must reject the report with a
`read_current_wake_comments` instruction and the cursor requirements. A
complete current read must permit the corrected report in the same turn.
The final snapshot check must remain effective.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a running native task with a truncated external-chat wake and
exact accepted comment IDs.
2. Call completion feedback before reading the comments, or after only a
partial or stale read.
3. Observe that the old code returns an accepted report instead of the
read correction.

## What Changed

- Check the existing run, company, task and agent binding before every
completion-feedback acceptance return.
- Reuse the authoritative current-wake reader and terminal receipt
validator.
- Share the two unchanged read-error codes from their owner across the
validator, feedback and executor classification.
- Convert only the two owned unread or changed-snapshot errors into a
bounded tool correction. Other errors still propagate.
- Keep the final validator, receipt parser, result persistence and
admission policy unchanged.
- Add real PostgreSQL regressions and an actual OpenCode MCP tool
sequence with a controlled local provider process.
- Document the early correction and final snapshot fence.

## Verification

The source checkout uses Node 24.22.2 on macOS arm64 with a fresh owned
embedded PostgreSQL database.

Final published tip: `37bfb269432f86f98cab1a58c09b5519ed9477fd`. Its
production code is commit `8c7297318c3a841fc1c72c846acfaabf58adabe9`;
the last commit adapts three existing module mocks. The expanded
affected group passes **1,284 cases** with **35 existing opt-in skips**.
The skips require captured private-runner transition fixtures and a
configured fresh database, which were not supplied. All nine real
PostgreSQL/MCP cases execute and pass. Recursive typecheck and the full
build pass for production commit `8c7297318c`; the final changed test
layer also passes.

- Untouched master `1a39dea9aa2bb9bea416439b0a574c788e88b9a0`: four
causal failures. Unread, partial, changed and foreign complete receipts
incorrectly receive accepted completion feedback. The ordinary
inline-complete control passes.
- Current source: all nine new cases pass. The actual authorized reader
returns the full accepted comment. The same running task and run remain
intact, with no replacement or accepted-result replay.
- The OpenCode native backend sends a real MCP finish rejection to the
controlled provider process. The process follows the returned reader
instruction, reads every page, and resubmits finish. One provider turn
produces one semantic result proposal. The terminal snapshot fence still
rejects a later comment edit.
- All 98 affected OpenCode driver and MCP bridge cases pass with the
fixture-mode addition.
- The first tool-sequence attempt failed on a fixture-only relative path
before starting the provider. The test now uses its module URL. This
setup failure is separate from the four causal failures.
- The first recursive typecheck found missing local workspace links in
the clone's excluded sandbox-provider directories. Existing dependency
links were copied into the isolated clone. No lockfile or source change
was made for this setup repair.
- At `c57e532a87`, all 1255 cases in the six-file affected server
family, recursive Node 24 typecheck and the full build pass. At
production commit `1ae9f54107e1762bc8222572b365a013d4572d1a`, all 1,257
affected cases, recursive Node 24 typecheck and the full build pass.
- Greptile found that the initial correction could restart a partial
read after page two. On `c57e532a87`, following that correction fails
with the actual reader cursor-order error. The follow-up continues the
caller's most recent cursor and retains the changed-snapshot restart
path. All nine new cases pass, including this regression, a
stale-partial control, the foreign receipt refusal and the actual
same-turn MCP sequence.
- [Linux server3/12
job](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41788671370/job/126437378334)
found five failures in the older format-feedback SQL fixture. Its flat
heartbeat row did not match the real joined projection. The same five
failures reproduced locally. The test-only follow-up returns a coherent
run/agent/task projection and keeps the real resolver and formatter
assertions. All 14 format and real-PG/MCP cases pass, and the generated
server test layer typechecks. Production code and the earlier
1,257-case/typecheck/build proof are unchanged.
- Qualification of the shared-code change found 49 failures because
whole-module mocks omitted the new exports. The three mocks now pass
through actual module exports and keep their controlled reader methods.
Literal error assertions remain independent. The final 1,284-case group
passes with the exact 35 opt-in skips described above. No production
fallback or substitute code was added.
- [One Linux Runner package
attempt](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41792315273/job/126448500037)
passed 4,913 cases and skipped 10, but its synthetic post-rename
credential durability case failed with ENOENT. The complete Runner
package tree and lockfile are identical to the [earlier Linux
control](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41790199252/job/126441739681),
where all 42 credential cases passed on Node 24.22.2. The exact case
also passes once on both base and head on macOS with Node 24.22.2. The
original failure cause remains unverified; OS/load and shared-test
timing uncertainty remain. Credential code and assertions are unchanged.
The single affected-job rerun passes, including all 42 credential tests.
The original failure remains unexplained.
- An ordinary full local test attempt was stopped before the review
repair. It has no completion summary and is INCOMPLETE. Current-head
full CI completed; no local full-suite pass is claimed. Greptile
reviewed the final published tip at 5/5 with zero open threads. All
current-tip checks pass: 54 successful check runs, one successful legacy
commit status, 3 skipped and 2 neutral, with no pending or failing
checks. Paperclip also reviewed final tip `37bfb26943` at 5/5 with no
remaining findings. Its prior 4/5 code-ownership recommendation is fixed
and resolved. No review nudge or hosted task retry was issued.

The controlled OpenCode process uses the supported v1 factory envelope
to exercise the common native feedback and MCP boundary. It does not
call a live model or qualify a provider pack. PostgreSQL, authorization,
pagination and receipt checks are real. No hosted task, model,
permission or saved result was changed. Recovery of an already accepted
historical run remains unverified.

## Risks

- Each finish call adds an exact binding query. A mandatory read also
validates the current accepted-comment snapshot through the existing
transaction. Cost grows with those exact comment IDs, bodies and
attachment metadata; it does not scan unrelated task history or add idle
polling.
- A valid read can become stale before the provider settles. The
unchanged terminal guard still rejects that race.
- Missing ownership or unexpected validation errors remain refusals.
This change does not grant replay authority or turn an accepted
historical result into fresh work.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with repository inspection, code execution
and GitHub tools. The runtime does not expose the exact serving model ID
or context window. The coordinator performed independent read-only
source review.

DottaandPaperclip c39e076638 fix(runner): retain the cause of closed ACPX sessions (#18872)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents and their work.
> - Runner records provider failures so the task can show their cause.
> - An ACPX control request can fail and close its session before the
event pump runs.
> - The next poll then reports only that the session is closed.
> - A second cleanup error can also drop a valid startup cause.
> - This pull request retains each failure at its existing reporting
boundary.
> - Operators can inspect the cause while the failed session stays
closed.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: Refs #18622, #18847, #18854. Those changes preserve provider
causes and handle proven startup failures. This change covers a control
failure after provider execution starts.

**What happened?**

A rejected sidecar control closes the ACPX session. A later poll
replaces its error with `ACPX provider session is closed`. The native
terminal loses the control classification. Separately, cleanup can
discard an existing validated startup cause.

**Expected behavior**

Retain the first control classification in the failed terminal. Do not
invent a provider explanation for that code. Keep a validated startup
cause when cleanup also fails. Keep the session closed, uncertain tool
outcomes pending, and the existing recovery checks effective.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start an ACPX turn and receive an authorized tool call.
2. Return its result after the provider has retired that call. The
sidecar rejects `tool.resolve`.
3. Poll the native backend. Before this change, the terminal reports
only the closed-session guard.
4. For the separate startup case, combine a rejected `session.open`
cause with a cleanup error. Before this change, the combined error drops
its validated provider cause.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The two subprocess regressions and the cleanup-composition regression
fail against unchanged production code at `683fa4725e`.

**Deployment mode**

Native Runner with ACPX. The process regressions use the real Rust
subprocess transport and durable native backend. Their controlled
stale-tool rejection matches the production sidecar response shape. The
separate cleanup unit injects a cleanup error at the existing
error-composition boundary.

## What Changed

- Retain the first failure in the ACPX session and return it from later
closed-state checks.
- Keep the validated provider cause when cleanup also fails.
- Match the stale-tool fixture to production. It carries the closed code
and no invented provider cause.
- Cover a rejected tool result, normal shutdown, raw sidecar-text
exclusion, pending tool preservation, refusal of another turn, and
terminal replay after controller restart.
- Document the existing failure and recovery boundary.

## Verification

- Red: both process regressions fail on the base code. Polling replaces
the named control failure with the generic closed-session error. The
cleanup unit also fails because the combined error loses its existing
startup cause.
- Green: all 12 ACPX session tests, all 36 native backend tests, and all
four session unit tests pass. The stale-tool cases require the
classification and absence of an invented provider cause.
- Commands: `cargo test --manifest-path
packages/paperclip-runner/runner/Cargo.toml --locked -p
paperclip-runner-core --test acpx_provider_session` and the same command
with `--test native_provider_backend`.
- Map structure and whitespace checks pass.
- At head `981faa4`, the full Runner core Rust suite passes: 847 tests
passed and three existing tests are ignored. Workspace typecheck and
build pass. The existing TypeScript provider-failure and
durable-settlement boundary suites pass all 30 tests.
- An earlier concurrent local Rust attempt missed an existing Codex
diagnostic deadline. That case passes alone on baseline and head, and
the final full suite passes with the local socket support its tests
require.
- Complete current-head CI passes: 55 successful checks, five
intentional skips and two neutral checks; no failed or pending checks.
Both `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e` pass.
- Failed CI attempts were investigated before rerunning affected jobs.
Logs showed runner shutdowns/lost communication, an unchanged Windows
WebSocket authentication deadline, and an unchanged Cursor Cloud
Stop-fixture assertion. The Cursor Cloud case passes on baseline and
head. No test assertion or CI guard was disabled.
- The local full `pnpm test:run` invocation passed all six chat
partitions, covering 1,838 expanded cases. It was stopped as a duplicate
while still in general-server after complete sharded CI passed. A
completed local full Vitest run is not claimed.
- Greptile and Paperclip reviewed the corrected head at 5/5 with no
actionable findings. There are no unresolved review threads.
- The process test exercises control rejection, process cleanup, durable
terminal persistence, and controller restart. The provider boundary is a
deterministic sidecar fixture. It is not a live Claude or hosted
recovery test.
- A genuine provider refusal or uncertain external effect remains
unresolved. This change preserves its evidence and does not make it safe
to replay.

## Risks

- The first control classification becomes visible where a generic
closed-session error appeared before. Raw sidecar error text stays
excluded. Startup details use the existing validated and redacted
`ProviderFailure` contract.
- A stored failure must not grant execution authority. The failed
session still rejects calls and new turns. Normal shutdown has no
fabricated failure cause.
- No provider profile, digest, retry budget, process ownership rule,
migration, credential, or permission change is required.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with source inspection, code editing,
command execution and regression tests. The exact runtime snapshot and
context-window capacity are not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 84aa989bf9 Preserve native sessions through legacy workspace enrollment (#18943)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A native session retains its workspace and provider session across
turns.
> - An ephemeral web server must restore those files without its
predecessor's disk.
> - Legacy enrollment changes the workspace authority and can change
both workspace addresses.
> - The retained provider backup checks those addresses as part of its
identity.
> - This pull request preserves the exact addresses in a verified
migration receipt.
> - The benefit is that the next turn can use the original session after
enrollment.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18932, merged as `612d9931a6`. This pull request builds on that
all-Runner durability change. Related: #18918 fixes concurrent workspace
preservation locks. This change covers identity preservation during
offline enrollment.

## What Changed

- The native workspace migration owner records the selected session
bindings in the successful workspace migration operation.
- Runtime selection retains the original logical address only for the
exact agent, task and session.
- Remote workspace preparation restores the original provider address.
It refuses conflicting targets, forged receipts and occupied unowned
roots.
- The environment owner includes the migration operation in the reusable
lease fingerprint. Warm policy stays warm and receives a fresh
allocation through normal lease cleanup.
- Exact migration evidence permits the existing verified provider backup
to restore into that fresh warm allocation.
- Preserve verified provider allocation files through a normalized,
lease-bound digest receipt. Unknown files and altered markers remain
refused; interrupted publication is retryable.
- Retain legacy managed-instruction session fingerprints using the exact
imported content hash and recorded paths, preserving all other
configuration and credential checks.
- Migrate existing local skill archive/manifest objects through upload
claims, readback verification and receipt compare-and-swap; retain
original objects and IDs.
- Add explicit two-turn browser qualification for every released native
Daytona profile, with warm and per-turn variants. The production
maintenance entry runs offline. The old home is deleted only after a
verified export and successor readiness. The oracle checks provider
identity, native session, addresses, reference bytes, question and final
document.

## Verification

- Full repository typecheck passed at `b12ecd823e`. The production
session fix passed 198 session/credential tests. Full repository build
passed at `94bb917947`. The final Rust-only provider fix passed 57 ACPX
provider tests and the exact Linux release build.
- Workspace and transport checks passed: 117 transport/workspace tests,
six final real PostgreSQL migration boundary cases, 178 environment
tests, 539 Daytona tests (eight skips), and the native warm-backup
admission control.
- Local skill migration passed eight PostgreSQL/S3 tests (one existing
opt-in skip). Failed readback retains the source. Successful readback
still works after deletion of the old home.
- Latest Product E2E typecheck and 38 focused harness tests pass.
Earlier catalog/admission/report checks passed. Twelve unrelated
support-test failures reproduce on unchanged base `1a39dea9aa`; these
are not reported as passing.
- Live Codex per-turn at `2d5bb9a6d1` retained the native and provider
sessions, both workspace paths and exact reference bytes after deletion
of the old home. It completed the task and delivered its saved document
and original reference. Its original failure was an output-count grading
defect. The corrected grader passes all 21 checks against retained,
hashed evidence; the original result remains unchanged.
- Live OpenCode per-turn and Codex warm at harness `94bb917947` pass all
21 product checks. Their launcher cleanup failed because a read-only
diagnostic observer kept its disposable database open. The observer now
closes before ordinary database cleanup; a no-provider reproduction
confirms the fix. All owned sandboxes were independently verified
absent, child keys revoked and buckets removed. Original failed campaign
dispositions remain unchanged.
- Claude at `94bb917947` kept its sessions and reference bytes but
omitted the final clickable document link. That user-delivery failure
remains recorded. The fixture now explicitly asks for the link and
records migration evidence before checking navigation. The fresh Claude
attempt at `b12ecd823e` passed both strict migration checks: exact
provider/native session, both paths, original file bytes and
independently downloaded attachment. Its full browser workflow failed
again: it requested unnecessary confirmation, used the answer sentence
as the reference, and omitted the clickable document link. This is
retained as a failed user-workflow result, not a full pass.
- Earlier live failures exposed and reproduced the skill-object,
fresh-allocation marker and managed-instruction fingerprint bugs. The
fixes retain original identity checks. No provider session reset or
accounting bypass was used.
- The real Grok continuation at `b12ecd823e` failed before provider
execution because its immutable-instruction attach policy rejected
relocated registered file copies. A no-provider regression reproduced
the exact rejection. `b05ba3728a` selects the existing strict
authenticated asset-path policy for Grok; content digests, unknown
context fields, session/workspace identity and same-run mutations remain
enforced. The regression and all 57 ACPX provider controls pass. The
Grok browser migration now passes all 21 checks with the b05 Linux
Runner, including provider identity, exact reference bytes and final
user output; the launcher also reports successful cleanup.
- `24fabf1d81` applies the same policy to released ACPX Codex after a
second no-provider reproduction. All 58 ACPX provider controls and the
final Linux release build pass. Its live browser migration passes all 21
checks on the final binary, including exact original session/file
preservation and completed user output.
- The full native-session executor suite passes all 1,121 tests after
updating its existing lease database fixture for the migration-receipt
join. The prior CI failure was this unsupported test-double method; the
production guard still rejects ordinary unproven recovery. CI and
Greptile 5/5 passed at `ca1e0d5fe6`. The first CI attempt lost several
workers and had one rotated-recovery transport failure; its seven
descriptor cases passed locally, and the single unchanged retry passed.
The original failure remains recorded. Staging enrollment has not
started. Initial offline enrollment and subsequent rolling availability
are separate checks.

- The final review follow-up adds real runtime-selection PostgreSQL
cases for exact, different-session and absent receipts, plus
executor-level warm restoration that copies actual backup files and
verifies provider identity and the new lease stamp. Both complete
affected suites pass (1,172 tests), and full repository typecheck
passes. Removing either production migration connection independently
makes its new positive case fail; both source files were restored
byte-for-byte after these negative controls.

- Final commit `0971d373a3` passes all 63 checks (57 successes, five
expected skips, one neutral); Greptile is 5/5 and every review thread is
resolved.

## Risks

- An identity conflict blocks enrollment and keeps the original files.
It does not silently reset the session.
- A new migration generation retires a reusable lease through its
existing owner. The original sandbox must finish normal cleanup before
reuse proceeds.
- Initial enrollment has an offline step. The separate rolling suites
prove uninterrupted deploy behavior after enrollment.
- This adds no schema migration and changes no provider credentials or
accounting gate.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The exact serving model build and context
window are not exposed in this session. The agent used reasoning,
terminal tools, code edits, PostgreSQL/filesystem tests and isolated
live browser qualification.

DottaandPaperclip 612d9931a6 Support per-turn Runner sessions on ephemeral web servers (#18932)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The web server controls native Runner sessions in remote sandboxes.
> - An ephemeral web server must recover without its previous local
filesystem.
> - The existing admission rule accepts warm sessions. Managed Claude,
Grok, and OpenCode sessions resolve to per-turn execution.
> - Per-turn execution also needs durable provider-session bytes after
the sandbox is retired.
> - This pull request adds encrypted backup publication and removes the
warm-only admission rule.
> - Both lifecycle modes can use the existing native ownership and
checkpoint contracts during a web deployment.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #18518, #18529, #18826, #18835, #18841, #18864, #18887.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Native Runner execution on web servers with
`PAPERCLIP_EPHEMERAL_SERVER=true`.

**Current behavior**

The admission rule requires a warm Runner lifecycle. Managed provider
credentials can resolve an agent to per-turn execution, so enabling the
ephemeral deployment profile blocks those turns. A database controller
checkpoint does not preserve provider files after the old web home and
per-turn sandbox are removed.

**Proposed behavior**

Admit native execution in either resolved lifecycle. Keep provider and
credential choices unchanged. Publish encrypted provider state to shared
storage before sandbox cleanup. Restore it from a fresh web home for the
next turn. Use the existing controller lease and generation checks for
active takeover.

**Reason and benefit**

Operators can remove the web server volume without excluding per-turn
providers or forcing managed accounts into warm sessions. New native
Daytona profiles automatically enter both rolling-deployment
qualification lanes.

**Breaking changes**

The additive migration creates a backup publication ledger. Existing
volume-backed local-disk installations retain their local backup path.
S3 installations publish encrypted backups and require a stable secrets
master key. Existing-volume enrollment must import surviving session
data before detaching the volume.

## What Changed

- Admit native Runner execution independently of its warm or per-turn
lifecycle. Keep host-owned legacy execution excluded from ephemeral
deployments.
- Store private provider state as encrypted objects. Journal uploads
before I/O, read them back, and fence publication against the current
native owner. Keep the previous published backup when storage or
ownership checks fail.
- Restore exact provider bytes into a private cache. Require an exact
durable backup before sandbox cleanup. Extend the existing bounded
retention pass to retire stored objects without adding idle polling.
- Import selected legacy controller and provider state in the existing
offline maintenance process. Preserve queued work, task pointers,
pending recovery, and original files. Prefer canonical database
checkpoints.
- Preserve already-failed legacy controllers with missing original
artifact proof as encrypted archives. These archives do not become
execution authority. Successful retained sessions still require proof.
Report archival and executable imports separately.
- Verify unmanaged Grok API keys through the existing xAI account
validator. The live test exposed a readiness gap that kept remote Grok
agents paused after platform checks. Preserve failed credentials and the
separate runtime warning.
- Ingest Grok whole-prompt usage at the owning ACP boundary. Bind the
receipt to the exact outbound request/session; reject replay, conflicts,
and incomplete authority. Separate turn cost from cumulative session
cost in the sidecar schema and Rust normalization. Preserve managed
billing identity and identify direct xAI API credentials.
- Preserve published workspace directory names across cold allocations,
including destroyed-allocation cleanup. Keep unpublished epoch/lease
directories isolated and refuse to overwrite an occupied preparation.
This fixes the cold-session identity regression exposed by #18922.
- Increase bounded checkpoint-header inspection to 1 MiB. Retain the
aggregate inspection limit.
- Register all nine native Daytona profiles in per-turn and warm
rolling-deployment suites. Delete the entire departing server home,
exercise ordinary reads and writes, require active ownership transfer,
then check a later turn on another fresh server. Permit only exact
notification replay after reconnect.

Ownership stays with the existing modules: Runner validates its protocol
state; Core validates run scope and controller ownership; storage owns
object I/O; the maintenance process owns offline conversion; the E2E
wrapper owns process replacement and probes. No provider protocol is
added to the shared admission rule. Grok receipt parsing stays in its
provider module. The shared sidecar gains an explicit cost basis because
its existing price field means session-cumulative spend, while Grok
reports prompt totals. Existing consumers retain cumulative behavior
when the new field is absent.

## Verification

- Focused native admission, archive validation, publication fencing,
cleanup, readiness, legacy import, and E2E observer tests pass. Real
PostgreSQL cases verify that queued intent and historical recovery rows
stay unchanged.
- Full typecheck and build pass on the rebased branch. The review
follow-up passes server typecheck, 29 focused
PostgreSQL/archive/readiness tests, and module-boundary checks. Revision
fb8d39a7a1 reached 55 successful CI checks and Greptile 5/5 with no
unresolved threads. The Grok follow-up passes Runner/server typechecks,
238 ACP runtime/projection/usage tests, 16 sidecar-schema tests, the
Rust cost regression, and Core billing regression. The e9aae9cf revision
passed all 57 successful checks, with 5 skips and 2 neutral checks, and
exact-head Greptile 5/5. The latest 9cbec30a4f follow-up changes only
E2E catalog/admission controls; its 291 affected tests pass, all 57
check contexts succeeded (5 skips, 2 neutral), and exact-head Greptile
is 5/5 with no open review threads.
- Migration numbering and safety checks pass.
- A local real PostgreSQL/S3 roundtrip preserved 2,870,101,591 payload
bytes across 89,100 archive entries after deleting the source directory.
Restored SHA-256 matched; upload/readback took 56.5 seconds, restore
74.8 seconds, process peak RSS was 1.40 GB, and all fixture resources
were removed.
- Archives preserve contained relative links, reject link
chains/traversal, and enforce independent byte/entry/object limits.
Offline verification streams hashes. Orphaned deleted-run backups stay
on the original volume. Obsolete object retention preserves the selected
backup, live lease references, and pending uploads with owners.
- Isolated API-key Codex deployment: original active runner/session
transferred to the replacement and committed. All 567 reads, 57 writes,
and 57 readbacks succeeded. A second replacement completed a
same-session continuation with all 287 reads and 29 writes succeeding.
The strict cell failed two agent-authored shell commands; this result is
retained as failed.
- Isolated API-key Claude deployment: original active runner/session
transferred and committed. All 584 reads, 59 writes, and 59 readbacks
succeeded. A second replacement completed a same-provider-session
continuation, with 211 reads and 22 writes succeeding. The strict cell
failed an initial completion call that omitted a registered attachment
citation; the agent corrected it. This result is retained as failed.
- Isolated API-key OpenCode deployment: the same active runner/session
transferred and committed. All 481 reads, 49 writes, and 49 readbacks
succeeded. A second replacement retained the provider session and
completed useful work, with 156 reads and 16 writes succeeding. The
strict cell failed agent tool calls: a denied external-directory write,
malformed artifact hashes, and a second completion after the first
result was committed. There was one submitted/completed turn and one
committed result; reconnect notification replay was identical. This
result is retained as failed.
- Grok's real first turn now completes with settled usage and provider
cost ($0.41397); the next turn is admitted normally. That attempt then
exposed a shared workspace-path identity regression before deployment.
Three cold-restore cases reproduced it before the fix; 106
workspace/transport tests and four focused cold-restore cases pass
afterward, including destroyed allocation and occupied-directory
preservation. Server typecheck and build pass. At b5b0dbb03f both
controller switches passed the read/write probe without failure, and the
active runner retained its process while the controller generation
advanced. The third turn exposed an invalid reasoning-token subset
check; ad07e681ba fixes it with the actual receipt regression. Two later
live attempts failed with an upstream Grok rate limit before deployment.
A tiny preflight prompt succeeded before the second attempt, but the
full workload was still rate-limited. The final live gate remains
incomplete. No accounting or identity guard was bypassed. Earlier failed
attempts and their exact resource-cleanup receipts remain recorded.
- Earlier Codex/Claude/OpenCode receipts predate #18922; they establish
their tested revisions. Current-head live qualification remains pending;
#18943 separately preserves pre-enrollment logical/provider workspace
addresses and adds actual legacy migration proof. Its first Codex
migration attempt stopped safely at skill-version verification.
- Earlier attempts remain recorded: missing local provider-pack setup
blocked one Claude launch, and the observer rejected identical reconnect
replay in another. Setup and the observer were corrected before the
latest run.
- Named staging enrollment has not started. Its serving revision and
post-deployment journeys remain separate delivery gates.

- Broader E2E harness validation exposed deployment-catalog and
installed-lane coverage drift; the affected 291 controls now pass.
Twelve other failures reproduce on unchanged base 1a39dea9aa. They
concern cleanup call expectations, dated operating-overhead fixtures, a
Pi profile-version expectation and workflow-security expectations. No
baseline failure is reported as passing.

## Risks

- Provider archives can contain credentials. Objects use authenticated
encryption with scoped associated data and a wrapped data key. The
original stable master key remains required.
- Storage failure prevents publication and sandbox cleanup. Operators
must keep shared storage available and preserve the previous volume
during enrollment.
- Legacy state without verified identity cannot become executable
recovery authority. Archival preserves evidence and existing failures;
it does not recover already-lost provider files or clear blocked tasks.
- Local overlap probes establish the tested application behavior. They
do not establish Railway routing behavior or live managed-subscription
qualification.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, tool use, code execution,
and live integration tests. The exact runtime variant and context-window
size are not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip a194166017 perf(ci): repair dependency caches and parallelize transport fixtures (#18883)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Required CI checks protect changes to its native Runner and control
plane.
> - Recent Runner jobs restored a Rust cache but still rebuilt
dependencies for 74–92 seconds.
> - New workspace install hooks disabled the materialized JavaScript
dependency cache.
> - A single transport file also kept 326 test cases on one worker.
> - This pull request corrects the cache inputs, replays known install
hooks, and separates independent transport test groups.
> - The same checks can finish sooner without removing test cases or
widening runner access.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18794 and #18544. Related dependency-action version update:
#17698; this change fixes the cache input contract used by the currently
pinned action.

**What happened?**

Recent PR jobs such as #18783 and #18825 restored an exact Rust
dependency cache from October 16. The virtual workspace's development
profile changed on October 30. Rust Cache 2.9.2 hashes member manifests
but omits that virtual manifest. Rebuilding cannot replace an immutable
exact cache entry. The JavaScript cache also rejected the new server and
Runner Copilot postinstall hooks.

**Expected behavior**

Changing a Cargo profile selects a new dependency cache. An exact
JavaScript dependency restore still performs required workspace install
hooks. Independent transport fixtures use the existing file workers
while retaining all assertions and real deadlines.

**Steps to reproduce**

Inspect the Rust dependency cache hit and following `build:rust` in the
recent Runner package jobs. Run `node scripts/ci-dependency-cache.mjs`
on the previous revision to see `cacheable: false`. Run the original
transport file to measure the serial test work.

## What Changed

- Add the virtual workspace manifest and ancestor Cargo configuration to
all shared Rust dependency keys. Keep reader/writer identities aligned
and preserve master-only cache writes and CODEOWNERS-only AWS routing.
- Recognize only the exact reviewed root, server, and Runner postinstall
commands. Include the server/Runner installer scripts in the dependency
key. Replay workspace postinstall hooks after a materialized restore.
Unknown lifecycle hooks still disable reuse.
- Move attachment recovery, warm attachment, live adoption, and
suspension fixtures into separate files. Keep the large event-backlog
cases in the original file to avoid starting another expensive fixture
group at the same time. Share five stateless test helpers outside
production source.
- Extend the opt-in `profile-ci` benchmark with a PR-scoped Rust cache
producer and a fresh-host consumer. Require exact dependency/workspace
hits and reject any Cargo unit that is rebuilt. Retain the JSON build
evidence. Existing setup qualification checks real JavaScript cache
restores.
- Schedule the ten measured files over 50 seconds first, in approximate
duration order. Package CI uses up to four workers, bounded by available
CPUs; local runs retain Vitest defaults. The AWS runner has four CPUs
and 16 GiB RAM; the three-worker run averaged 44% CPU and peaked at 15%
memory. Preserve Vitest selection and shard membership and default
ordering for other files. Job count and AWS authorization are unchanged.
- Scope the optional paired server benchmark to changes in its measured
inputs. Cache-only changes qualify exact restores and run the shared
package tests using restored dependencies.
- Update the cache and test documentation and the existing native cache
contract guard.

## Verification

- All 586 `.github/scripts/tests/*.test.mjs` policy tests passed,
including cache trust and runner routing guards. Actionlint passed for
all three changed workflows.
- All 169 original top-level transport test definitions remain
byte-identical. The original file passed all 326 cases in 317.99 seconds
on this macOS host. A clean preliminary split passed the exact same
named cases in 183.01 seconds with the same four-worker cap.
- Preserve the first failed experiment: its parallel run overlapped the
policy suite and timed out in the 1,024-event settled backlog case at 60
seconds; 325 cases passed. A clean repeat passed, but that does not
establish the earlier failure's sole cause. The final layout keeps the
backlog cases in the original file. The final layout passed the same 326
cases in 186.35 seconds (41.4% faster than the 317.99-second baseline).
The original test bodies and all timeouts remain unchanged.
- Fresh-host Rust qualification passed: all 308 compilation units were
fresh, and Cargo completed in 1.59 seconds on a new runner ([final-head
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41745082837/job/126296908816)).
JavaScript setup dropped from 46 seconds cold to 23 seconds with exact
dependency/build restores; all 1,052 shared-package cases passed against
the restored tree ([final-head
job](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41745082837/job/126295937797)).
The previous qualification also passed (43 to 19 seconds) and confirmed
all three postinstall hooks replayed. These are qualification results,
not an end-to-end PR timing claim.
- Initial full AWS package run passed 4,907 cases with 10 existing
skips. The original-file remainder fell to 118.7 seconds, but the
100-second deadline file started last, leaving the full package at
417.43 seconds. Starting only three long files first passed 4,911 cases
(including four new sequencer guards) in 422.54 seconds, so reordering
alone did not improve full-package time. Summed file execution was 1,202
seconds across three busy workers. The final four-worker configuration
passed **4,912 cases, with the same 10 existing skips**, in **324.99
seconds**, a **23.1% reduction** from 422.54 seconds. The five added
cases guard ordering, selection, sharding, and path handling. Peak
memory was 17.95% of the 16 GiB runner; average CPU was 49.14%
([final-head package
job](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41745082974/job/126296339480)).
- Local workspace typecheck and build passed. The complete local `pnpm
test:run` passed all six chat partitions but reported failures in one
existing OAuth redirect case and one gateway authority case in the
general-server group. Both focused repetitions passed (three OAuth cases
and one gateway case), and a complete repeat of both files passed all
593 cases in 42.89 seconds; that does not explain the original failures.
The broad local run was stopped after 61 minutes once full final-head CI
had passed; its remaining general/workspace/serialized work was not
completed locally, and it is not reported as a pass. Original failure
logs were retained. Full final-head CI provides the complete suite
validation. Sequencer selection/shard guards and the 11-case transport
suspension smoke passed. The corrected release workflow guard passed all
71 tests.
- The first CI run failed only the policy guard that still expected the
old native cache key; downstream aggregate checks also failed. That
guard now checks the new profile/config prefix and existing
host/target/protocol suffix. A second policy run found that the new
sequencer test imported Vitest in the dependency-free policy lane; it
now runs in the Runner package lane, where all four cases pass. Greptile
reviewed final head `8011f84189` at 5/5 with no actionable findings and
confirmed this issue fixed. Final-head policy, typecheck, build, and
review passed. At 23:52:46 UTC on November 3, several AWS jobs were
terminated together: the Runner package process received SIGTERM and
browser logs recorded a runner shutdown signal. The failed/cancelled
jobs passed on the same-head retry, including required `ci / verify`; no
assertion or timeout was changed in response. The final concurrency
adjustment at `fe5a69bb0b` also received Greptile 5/5 with no actionable
findings. Final-head required CI, including `ci / verify`, passed
([aggregate](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41745082974/job/126300554711)).
Local timings exclude install, build, cache transfer, and CI queue time.

## Risks

A new Rust key needs one successful canonical master build before
ordinary PRs can hit it. The fresh-host qualification uses separate
PR-scoped entries. Parallel test files can increase I/O contention; case
execution inside each file, timeouts, and assertions are unchanged. Two
extracted suites exceed 1,000 lines because they retain existing
multi-stage recovery fixtures unchanged; one parameterized fixture alone
is 1,059 lines. No production execution logic, lockfile, credentials,
runner trust gates, or required check is removed.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository editing, command
execution, and GitHub inspection. The host does not expose a more
precise model snapshot or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip fbb7055b90 fix(runner): keep activity FIFOs out of Codex writable roots (#18886)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents and their work.
> - Runner owns each provider process and its activity channel.
> - Codex Plan mode uses a restricted filesystem policy.
> - Runner adds its activity FIFO as a writable filesystem root.
> - Codex adds protected metadata paths beneath each writable root.
> - A FIFO cannot contain those paths, so the Linux helper fails before
useful work starts.
> - This pull request grants access through the private activity
directory and keeps discovery files read-only.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18050. The activity channel came from that change. No existing
FIFO-mount repair was found. #18853 repairs interrupted preparation
recovery; it does not change this provider filesystem policy.

**What happened?**

A native Codex Plan session can fail while loading AGENTS.md
instructions. The filesystem helper tries to inspect
`activity.fifo/.aws` and fails with `Not a directory`. This happens
before the provider can produce the requested plan.

**Expected behavior**

The sandbox must load permitted instructions and allow activity-channel
writes. Plan mode must still reject workspace writes and private state
access.

**Steps to reproduce**

Use the ignored `read_only_codex_opens_with_runtime_activity` regression
in the Runner Rust suite with the source-pinned Linux Codex executable
and its matching bubblewrap resource. The fixture calls the actual
activity channel producer and policy projection. On the original
producer it exits 101 with the FIFO metadata-mount panic. With this
change it exits 0.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Original producer reproduced at
208bda1a0e. The local native artifact is
official Codex 0.160.0 for Linux arm64, which matches the source pin.
The failing hosted executable version was not independently available
from its normal run records.

**Deployment mode**

Native Runner with Linux Codex. Verification used an isolated local
Linux container with no network, credentials, or model call.

## What Changed

- Grant writes to the Runner-created private activity-channel directory
instead of using its FIFO as a filesystem root.
- Keep the lock, descriptor, and helper read-only. Keep the existing
network, workspace, environment, and active-run authority policies.
- Add actual channel isolation coverage and a pinned executable
regression. The latter also checks FIFO bytes, instruction reads,
workspace write denial, private-state and synthetic credential-home
denial, descriptor and lock write denial, lock removal denial, and
ambient-variable filtering.
- Document the native sandbox check and the separate fixture-export
path. Export alone does not verify the sandbox.

## Verification

- Actual producer plus official Linux Codex 0.160.0 and matching
bubblewrap: original producer exits 101 with the FIFO `.aws` panic;
changed producer exits 0 with all permission checks and exact FIFO
output verified.
- `cargo test --manifest-path
packages/paperclip-runner/runner/Cargo.toml runtime_notification --lib
--offline`: 8 passed, 2 manual sandbox fixtures ignored.
- `cargo test --manifest-path
packages/paperclip-runner/runner/Cargo.toml codex_provider::tests --lib
--offline`: 30 passed.
- `cargo build --manifest-path
packages/paperclip-runner/runner/Cargo.toml --bin paperclip-runnerd
--offline`: passed.
- Cargo format and diff checks passed.
- A broader optional local Rust library sweep did not pass in the
restricted macOS host. Three filesystem-monitor tests failed and another
did not finish; the owned sweep was bounded and stopped. A
socket-identity fixture also failed with EPERM. A representative monitor
failure and the socket failure were repeated with the unchanged original
producer. Their failures are retained and are not claimed fixed by this
PR.
- The existing ignored
`publisher_crosses_real_codex_tool_boundary_without_runner_state_access`
fixture was not executed successfully on the final head. Its stale
channel-directory denial was corrected after Greptile review. The
separate actual-producer Linux sandbox fixture verifies exact FIFO bytes
and permission denials; it does not call `record-activity`.
- Full local pnpm typecheck/test/build was not run for this Rust-only
change. Required technical CI passes on
fd4da0bf5e. Greptile is 5/5. The automatic
Paperclip Review remains queued; merge is held for that review. No
hosted task recovery or provider turn is claimed.

## Risks

The writable grant now covers the process-private channel directory. The
descriptor remains outside that grant. The lock has an explicit
read-only mount inside it. Native sandbox checks verify the lock cannot
be written or removed. Existing tests retain authority rotation,
stale-context rejection, malformed input bounds, and fixed-path cleanup
after endpoint replacement.

The retained startup error also mentions a loopback permission error.
This change fixes the independently reproduced FIFO-root defect. It does
not prove that every hosted namespace capability is healthy.
Preconfigured-home and custom policies retain their existing explicit

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 4e29f00139 fix(native): keep settled ACPX sessions across Runner upgrades and run scheduled resumes (#18879)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native Runner keeps one ACPX provider conversation across the
per-turn runs of a task. Each run cold-attaches the session that the
previous run settled.
> - The saved ACPX state binds the digest of the launch profile that
wrote it. Every deploy ships a new provider pack, so that digest
changes.
> - After a deploy, the next run of such a task fails `run.attach` with
`ACPX durable launch profile digest does not match runner startup`.
Every same-run retry fails the same way.
> - On one instance this happened seven times. Six tasks used their
retry budget and ended blocked, or in progress with no runner. In the
seventh, the scheduled same-run resume never ran at all: the task stayed
`in_progress` with nothing running, and its monitor did not fire.
> - This pull request re-binds a settled session to the upgraded launch
profile, types the remaining mismatches so the server stops retrying
them, and makes a scheduled remote resume survive the stale-lock sweep.
> - The benefit is that a task continues its conversation after a
deploy. When it cannot, it stops with a clear next action instead of
stalling.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18846, #18847, #18854 and #18860 (nearby native recovery changes).
Refs #15795, an open change to the same stale-lock sweep function. It
changes run teardown, not lock cleanup, so a second merge needs at most
a small rebase.

**What happened?**

A per-turn native task used provider `acpx` with Claude, driver
`acpx_runtime`, on a remote sandbox.

1. Run A succeeded and settled its provider session. The next run with
the same build cold-attached it.
2. The instance deployed a new build.
3. A board approval woke run B in a fresh sandbox. Run B failed after
about five minutes: `native_session_recovery_failed: Error: PRP command
run.attach failed: {...
"result":{"code":"command_execution_failed","message":"ACPX durable
launch profile digest does not match runner startup"}}`.
4. The coordinator recorded `retryable_failure`, attempt 1,
`native_session_interrupted`, recovery mode `exact_checkpoint_resume`,
recovery state `resuming_session`, and a retry 30 seconds later.
5. Two seconds after the failure, the stale-lock sweep cleared the
task's execution and checkout locks, because run B was `failed`.
6. Forty minutes later the attempt was still 1. The scheduled monitor
had not fired. The task stayed `in_progress` with nothing running.

**Expected behavior**

A session that the previous run settled continues after a deploy. If it
cannot continue, the run stops at once with a clear next action. A
scheduled resume either runs or fails visibly.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Save a suspended ACPX session under one launch profile.
2. Change the sidecar bytes and the provider-pack authority at the same
paths.
3. Cold-attach the next run in a new runner. Restore fails with the
digest mismatch.
4. For the stall: leave a remote native run `failed` with a due
`retryable_failure` coordinator, run the stale-lock sweep, then run
restart recovery for that run. It returns `blocked:
issue_execution_lock_changed` and writes nothing.

The new Rust and PostgreSQL tests run these steps.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `b0c4e345267`.

**Deployment mode**

Native Runner, per-turn lifecycle, remote sandbox. The re-bind applies
to every ACPX agent with an ordinary startup.

## What Changed

### Root causes

- **Upgrade failure.** `AcpxLaunchProfile::canonical_digest` hashes the
provider-pack authority, the sidecar command and arguments, each
artifact path and SHA-256, and any candidate admission. For a remote
sandbox the authority is the provider-pack manifest digest, which covers
the Runner source revision and dist digest. So every deploy changes it.
`AcpxDurableState` stores only the digest, and `validate()` rejects any
difference. Only a Kimi candidate run binding had a carve-out.
- **Silent stall.** The failure write keeps the task locks for
`retryable_failure` and clears them only for `terminal_failure`. The
stale-lock sweep treats any `failed` run as cleanable, so it cleared
them. A remote retry goes through `claimNativeRestartRecoveries`. That
claim requires `issues.execution_run_id` to name the run, so it returned
`blocked: issue_execution_lock_changed` with no coordinator write and no
deadline. The live recovery queue then dropped the entry. The local
claim (`claimNativeSessionResumptions`) already reclaims a free lock, so
only remote runs stalled.
- **Monitor.** `noActiveNativeMonitorRun` holds a task's monitor while
any native run for it has a coordinator that is not `committed` or
`terminal_failure`. Run B's `retryable_failure` held it. That is by
design; it ends when the resume runs.

### Runner (Rust)

- `rebinds_settled_session` in `acpx_provider_backend.rs`. Restore
re-binds a saved session to the current launch profile only when all of
these are true:
- The lifecycle is `suspended` and an identity exists. There is no
active turn, pending runtime request, undelivered provider event, or
unconfirmed provider exit.
  - The startup has no candidate admission.
- The saved descriptor's sidecar command and arguments equal this
startup's.
- Any other digest mismatch keeps failing with the same message, plus
`classification: "provider_state_incompatible"` in the durable command
result. `DurableRunnerError` carries an optional closed classification
for this.
- A saved descriptor that names an agent release this build does not
qualify (ACPX version, agent server package or version, or command
digest) also gets the class. `validate_session()` and its message are
unchanged; restore only adds the class.

### Runner (TypeScript)

- `runnerRecoveryFailureClass` reads the classification from the
authenticated `runnerCommandResult`. The Codex app-server driver (which
also drives ACPX through runnerd) and `HarnessDriverBackend` pass it on
as `failureClass`.
- If replacement after a failed resume is not allowed,
`executeNativeSession` throws `NativeProviderStateIncompatibleError`
(message unchanged: `native_session_recovery_failed: ...`). If
replacement is allowed, the existing path opens a fresh session in the
same run, as before.

### Server

- `nativeSessionFailureSourceCode` maps that error class to
`native_provider_state_incompatible` with `instanceof`, not text. The
disposition is permanent: `terminal_failure` at once, the task blocks,
and the board owns the recovery action. Its next action says that a
Retry continues in a fresh provider session with the same workspace.
- `findNativeSessionResumeRun` also returns the barrier's `errorCode`.
`rebindNativeSessionCheckpoint` does not resume a source with
`native_provider_state_incompatible`. The existing fallback in
`buildNativeExecutionWithCheckpoint` then starts a fresh normalized
session with the full task bootstrap.
- `sweepStaleIssueLocks` keeps both locks while a referenced run's
coordinator owns a result-less `retryable_failure`, unless the task is
done or cancelled. Its update also requires that no referenced run has a
live status at the write, because a resume claim can return the run to
running after the status read.
- `claimNativeRestartRecoveries` reclaims a free execution lock for a
`retryable_failure` resume, like the local claim does, when the checkout
lock is free or held by this run and no other run for the task is
queued, running or scheduled. It records
`native.recovery.execution_reclaimed`. A lock held by another run still
blocks.
- Docs: `packages/paperclip-runner/docs/durable-recovery.md` and
`doc/execution-semantics.md`.

### Safety argument for the re-bind

What the binding protects, and what this change keeps:

- **Candidate admission** carries company, model, platform and expiry
authority. A candidate startup never re-binds. The Kimi run-binding
carve-out and all candidate rejections are unchanged.
- **The agent that loads the conversation** stays exact. `validate()`
runs on the saved descriptor before the digest check and requires this
build's qualified agent profile: ACPX version, agent server package and
version, and `commandDigest`. The saved identity must still match that
profile and the provider mode.
- **In-flight provider work** is never re-bound. A turn, runtime
request, undelivered event or unconfirmed exit keeps the strict binding,
so no old provider process or request continues under a new build. The
next launch only loads a settled conversation.
- **Launch shape.** A changed sidecar command path or arguments still
rejects. Only the content at the same paths may change.
- **Artifacts** are not trusted from the saved state. The current
profile comes from the trusted controller at startup, and session start
verifies every artifact's bytes and the restored provider identity, as
before.

What changes: a new provider-pack authority, or new sidecar or Node
bytes, at the same paths no longer invalidates a settled conversation.
The saved digest cannot show which part changed, so the rule does not
depend on it. I did not add state fields to tell authority changes from
artifact changes, because the rule would treat both the same.

One existing assertion changes.
`released_kimi_cold_restore_rejects_candidate_injection_and_changed_full_profile`
expected a settled ordinary Kimi session to reject a changed authority,
artifact digest, or saved digest. Those three cases moved to a new
positive test. Command, arguments, every candidate grant field, a
missing profile and run binding still reject.

### How a task in the reported state recovers after this deploys

The task has old-digest saved state, a `retryable_failure` coordinator
at attempt 1, and cleared locks.

1. Startup recovery, and the live recovery queue, run restart recovery
for the due run. It reclaims the free execution lock and claims the run.
The resume runs now.
2. Run B's failed `run.attach` is a durable outcome of B's exact run
authority. If the resume replays that outcome instead of executing it
again, it fails with the old, untyped text. The remaining attempts then
fail the same way, and the run ends `terminal_failure` with
`native_session_retry_exhausted`. The task blocks with a board recovery
action. This takes about a minute.
3. If the task blocks, press **Retry** once. Retry selects run B as the
source (it has process identity and controller evidence, so the #18860
skip does not apply) and rebinds B's checkpoint, which holds A's
provider session. The new run cold-attaches under the new Runner, and
restore re-binds the old digest because the session is suspended and
quiescent. The conversation continues. Run B's failed attach never wrote
the state file, so the state is still A's settled state.
4. Tasks that already exhausted their retries (blocked, or in progress
after `native_session_retry_exhausted`) need the same single Retry.
Their earlier attempts ran under the old Runner.

Wait for the task to show blocked before pressing Retry. A Retry pressed
while the resume is running joins that run.

## Verification

- Rust, failing first:
`settled_session_rebinds_to_the_upgraded_runner_launch_profile` failed
on `master` with the production message.
`unsettled_or_relocated_session_keeps_the_strict_launch_binding` failed
on the missing classification. Both pass now.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --no-fail-fast`: all 41 test
binaries pass. The library has 471 passed and 1 ignored.
- `cargo fmt --check`, and `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner
typecheck` (TypeScript, generated contracts, `cargo check`): pass.
- Server, failing first: `native-scheduled-resume-lock.test.ts`
(PostgreSQL). On `master` the sweep cleared the locks and restart
recovery returned `issue_execution_lock_changed`. Both negative controls
(another run's lock, a queued run) already passed. All four tests pass
now.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`: pass.
- Runner vitest (`src/native-session-runtime.test.ts`, `src/backends`,
`src/drivers/codex`, `src/drivers/provider-failure.test.ts`,
`src/live/runnerd-codex-transport*.test.ts`,
`src/control-plane/acpx-controller-recovery.test.ts`): 31 files, 1,011
tests pass. New: the typed error when same-session recovery is required,
and the recovery class reader and pass-through.
- Server vitest: the native executor, status corpus and provider-pack
admission suites (1,268 tests) pass. New: the classifier makes the typed
error permanent, and the same text stays retryable. Checkpoint selection
returns `errorCode`, and an incompatible source starts a fresh session
with the same workspace (unit and PostgreSQL).
- Server vitest over the recovery area: stale-lock sweep, native
resumption, process recovery, failed-workspace recovery, restart
recovery (integration, diskless, preparation), controller recovery,
startup retry, startup cleanup, recovered-owner follow-up, session
resume, runtime selection and recovery deadlines. 926 passed. Four
`heartbeat-process-recovery` tests failed in that loaded run. Three pass
when I run them alone. `redacts opaque environment-bound credentials
from Sentry diagnostics: result` fails the same way on unmodified
`master` on this host (a local environment value is redacted).
- Review round 1: a new sweep test returns the run to running before the
clear. It cleared the locks without the write recheck and keeps them
with it. The strict Rust restore test covers an older agent server
release and an older ACPX release. The ACPX backend and durable runner
unit tests, the lock, sweep, resume projection and controller recovery
suites, `cargo fmt --check` and the server typecheck pass. In the second
full cargo run, the two `stdio_mcp` relay tests timed out waiting 5 s
for a child exit on this loaded host. They do not use the changed code
and passed in the first full run.
- After the rebase onto the current `master`: the new lock test,
failed-workspace recovery, stale-lock sweep and session resume suites
pass (189 tests). Server typecheck, `pnpm check:module-boundaries` and
`git diff --check` pass.
- CI on `929ef4508d2`: in the first run, `isolated-repository-rehome`
hit its 15 s test timeout, `idle-completed-history` could not reach its
fixture runtime service, and e2e shard 3 was cancelled by a runner
shutdown. A rerun of the failed jobs passed. All 55 checks pass.
- Not verified: a live remote sandbox deploy, and whether run B's
same-run resume replays its recorded `run.attach` failure or executes it
again. The Retry path is tested at source selection and checkpoint
rebind (server) and at cold attach (Runner). It is not tested end to end
through a sandbox.

## Risks

- A settled session now continues under new sidecar bytes. If a sidecar
change made an old ACPX record unreadable, session start fails as any
failed resume does. It does not corrupt state, and the run follows its
normal recovery policy.
- The sweep now keeps locks for a failed native run with a scheduled
resume. If that resume can never be claimed (for example the agent stays
paused), the task keeps the lock until the coordinator settles or the
task closes. Before, the sweep cleared it, and the resume still never
ran.
- If another run holds the task's lock, a scheduled remote resume still
stays blocked and the coordinator stays `retryable_failure`. This change
does not settle that case. It needs a separate decision about
superseding the resume.
- `native_provider_state_incompatible` is a new failure code. No UI or
migration change is needed. Older servers never see it.
- No schema migration.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) through Claude Code, with tool use
(shell, file edits, test runs). The runtime does not expose the context
window or reasoning configuration.

DottaandPaperclip 8771606fd8 test(e2e): cover browser task editing and reopening (#18782)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people manage tasks and agent work.
> - Daily QA uses reusable Product E2E journeys against a named target.
> - Existing task journeys cover creation and assignment.
> - They lack saved title and label edits across completion and
reopening.
> - This pull request adds one browser-only lifecycle journey with
independent saved-state checks.
> - It also puts shared registry entries on separate lines so
independent case PRs can use distinct insertion points.
> - The registry formatting preserves every token, value, entry order
and case body.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #18655.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Product E2E coverage of ordinary task editing and completion.

**Current behavior**

The reusable catalog covers task creation and assignment. It lacks one
journey that edits a task, reloads it, completes it and reopens it while
retaining its saved context. Several shared registries put all entries
on one line, so independent case additions conflict.

**Proposed behavior**

Create a task assigned to the signed-in person. Edit its title and
create one label through the visible UI. Change its status to In
Progress, reload it, mark it Done, reload it, reopen it to Todo and
reload it again. Require the exact saved task and label throughout.
Preserve its description, assignee, project and priority. Allow no agent
run or model usage. Put the existing shared registry entries on separate
lines without changing their contents or order.

## What Changed

- Add `task-edit-lifecycle` and six required checks for browser
creation, saved edits, reload, completion and reopening, preserved
context and no agent work.
- Add valid, wrong and missing evidence controls. Retain allowlisted
observations and bounded GET failure receipts in private evidence.
- Register the case, feature associations, catalog expectation,
source-hash inputs and browser-only result validation.
- Extend target ownership for run-owned labels and one exact predeclared
title change. Require compatible scoped cleanup before selecting the
case.
- Open the real side panel or Properties control when needed. Exclude
inert and aria-hidden Labels rows and require visible readback. Document
inline title editing and the case prerequisites.
- Keep priority editing disabled. Verify that the saved priority remains
unchanged.
- Keep Cursor test observations outside its existing Stop deadline,
preserve the full rejection/Stop overlap matrix and add pre-release
no-provider-call controls. Production behavior and deadline values stay
unchanged.
- Format five shared registry files with one entry per line: the
JourneyId and AgentJourney unions, definition filenames, expected
catalog IDs and agent run counts. No registry entry moves in this PR.

## Verification

- Current head is `d1af3aae3712455c90db937fa7a5141555710506`. Its only
change from integrated head d40f28 is the Cursor driver test-fixture
ordering repair described below. The prior normal merge consumes actual
master `d59791828482f213713ca55000c40e6c9c6c03e5`, including reviewed UI
repair #18848 and the existing idle-history fixture repair from #18853.
It has both real parents, no conflicts and the required trailer. All
seven lifecycle case/oracle/catalog/documentation blobs and six selected
registry constructs remain exact 10625b. The idle-history fixture is
byte-identical to master. The PR diff has 13 paths, including the one
Cursor test file, and no feature-map or production-driver changes.
- 167 focused tests pass across catalog, target contracts, agent
evidence, lifecycle evidence and observation reads. E2E TypeScript and
credential-free discovery of21 Product E2E cases pass. The real merged
idle-history and exposure-reservation suites pass all 109 tests in132
seconds, including the owned HTTP-process adoption assertion and
explicit unknown-listener denial/drift controls. Canonical shared/SDK,
database and Runner TypeScript dependencies were rebuilt for the changed
master inputs. All4,220 tracked package/script/root inputs and 4,954
dependency outputs are recorded; the outputs remain unchanged after the
tests and browser journey. The first database build stopped because
child PATH selected a different global pnpm and its version switch could
not fetch signed metadata. The preserved attempt made no package or
source change. Using the already-installed verified pnpm9 on child PATH
passed. No install, Rust or provider-build global setup ran.
- One fresh canonical managed-local browser journey passes on exact
d40f28: all six checks and authentication, setup, journey, collection
and cleanup pass. Cleanup releases the disposable instance. The journey
takes 12.059 seconds and has explicit zero-run readback at all five
saved states. Its runtime commit isd40f28. Definition hash is
`f262707de2e544cecdb9c5c4c5222d61f04a122575b438658dec069e1a93f9cb`. The
prior10625b local6-check/5-phase pass remains separately recorded with
its own source and definition hash.
- A real closed-panel control previously reproduced the original
label-interaction failure using only the presentation preference
`paperclip:panel-visible=false`. The corrected journey passed all six
unchanged checks through an ordinary Show properties click. A separate
canonical743 local run passed all six checks and five phases with
released cleanup. No domain outcome was supplied by that control.
- A separate QA staging qualification passed all six checks and five
phases on exact743, with closed cleanup and verified zero agent work.
That original pass remains bound to743. It is not regraded or relabeled
as a staging run of10625b. Daily admission remains a separate
coordinator action.
- Earlier material failures remain part of the verification record. The
first managed-local setup failed before authentication with an embedded
PostgreSQL exit code of null; its original cause remains unresolved. A
later loader diagnostic found missing library aliases in this isolated
checkout. Existing bundled libraries were hash-verified and the aliases
were restored only there. Subsequent real runs exposed an overlong label
name, a status picker name mismatch and the closed-panel issue. Each
failed result and cleanup record is retained. The fixes preserve the
full campaign name, validate the production48-character label limit
before mutations, and use the actual visible controls.
- Original full CI
[41652807327](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41652807327)
failed an unchanged Discord fixture assertion, attention-retention
fixture limits and the CLI import/export startup limit. One bounded
recheck recovered Discord but repeated the other failures. The reviewed
merged retention-fixture repair was consumed normally through #18770.
Full CI
[41667811850](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41667811850)
passed all E2E shards but exposed inbox/account-fixture failures. This
branch consumed the actual reviewed repairs from #18798 and #18799.
Original logs and failed assertions remain retained; no timeout or
oracle was weakened.
- Original743 CI
[41682757346](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41682757346)
failed the unchanged CLI suite's30-second child-server startup hook. A
bounded local phase probe passed the same startup oracle but did not
prove the original CI cause. One coordinator-approved official recheck
followed. Timestamp comparison shows46 non-skipped jobs retained their
original start and end times; only the failed CLI job and final
aggregate have new start and end times. The skipped selection job
remains unclassified. New GitHub job IDs alone did not prove new
executions. The original startup failure remains preserved and its cause
remains unproven.
- Formatting-head CI
[41726104217](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41726104217)
failed the upstream idle-history process-adoption test and dependent
verify job:46 jobs passed, one was skipped and two failed. Its actual
synthetic checkout had parents masterf187 and10625b; the failed test is
absent from 10625b itself. The assertion expected one adopted process
and received zero. A pure production-function control proves a
conditional reserved-port drift path, but the actual failed CI port and
full reconciliation counters were not logged. The actual CI cause
remains unproven. This branch consumes the already-reviewed bounded
fixture-port repair in #18853 through its normal actual-master merge.
The original failure is retained. No unchanged-code retry, timeout
increase, skipped assertion or ownership-policy change was used.
- Integrated-head CI
[41730231620](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41730231620)
passed the formerly failing server1/12 lane, Typecheck, Build and E2E.
It failed the Cursor package fixture below and the dependent verify job.
A separate server4/12 job lost runner communication; the exact runner
instance and Spot-request readback confirm a capacity interruption. Its
unavailable log is not treated as a test pass. The original failures
remain retained. No old-head retry was made.
- The Cursor fixture sets a 300 ms cancellation budget, holds a
rejected-create checkpoint and originally performed directory/file
observations while that clock ran. Controlled400ms observation latency
on the original fixture reproduces the same fenced Stop error. The same
diagnostic passes after moving file observations before the cancellation
clock, or while the initial Stop-checkpoint gate still prevents it from
starting. The driver,300ms configuration and timeout negatives are
unchanged. Every original assertion AST remains, and three new
assertions forbid provider observation/cancel calls before releasing the
checkpoint. All81 driver tests,12 client tests and43 checkpoint-archive
tests pass; Runner TypeScript build and E2E TypeScript pass. The actual
CI inner error and observation duration were not logged, so its precise
original cause remains unproven.
- Final d1af3a full CI
[41733938939](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41733938939)
attempt3 is successful. Attempt1 lost four exact-bound Spot runners;
attempt2 recovered the Runner and both server lanes but lost the
replacement E2E runner to another confirmed Spot capacity interruption.
Two separate coordinator-authorized official failed-job rechecks were
recorded. Attempt3 passed the E2E path and final aggregate. Successful
executions retain their original timestamps; new job IDs alone were not
used as proof of re-execution. All original failures remain retained.
- Fresh Greptile check126258142754 completed successfully on exact
d1af3a with 5/5 and zero unresolved threads. Full recursive workspace
typecheck, all workspace tests and the full build were not repeated
locally; the corresponding hosted full CI gates pass.

## Risks

The case requires target support for `label` ownership and scoped
`taskEdit.revisedTitle` cleanup. Older target adapters must not select
it. Cleanup must reconcile lost creation responses and exact predeclared
title saves without touching other resources.

Registry formatting changes the harness definition hash because that
hash includes source bytes. Historical runs must keep their original
source and hash. The formatting does not change runtime values, order,
dispatch, case checks or product behavior. Later case PRs must verify
their actual merge resolutions and final-head checks before admission.

## Model Used

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

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 11ac90e31f fix(build): typecheck server/src/__tests__ and fix every type error (#18739)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server has about 1,100 test and helper files in
`server/src/__tests__`
> - `server/tsconfig.json` excludes that directory, Vitest does not
check types, and no script runs the tsconfig in that directory
> - So a test can call a function with the wrong arguments and still
pass, and no tool reports it
> - This gap hid 2,168 real type errors, and some of them hid tests that
did not test what they claim
> - This pull request fixes all of these errors and adds the directory
to the server layers from paperclipai/paperclip#18737
> - The benefit is that a type error in a server test now fails the
typecheck, with no baseline and no backlog

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs paperclipai/paperclip#18737, which is merged and added the server
layers. Refs paperclipai/paperclip#18738, which is merged and checks the
test projects outside `pnpm -r`, so it is not a duplicate. Refs
paperclipai/paperclip#18137, which records that this directory has no
check.

**What happened?**

No tool checked the types of 1,074 of the 1,101 files in
`server/src/__tests__`. I searched `package.json`, the workflows, and
all tsconfig files. 27 files are in the program of another tsconfig, and
these 27 have 0 errors. 11 of the 27 are in
`helpers/maintenance/tsconfig.json`. No script ran that project when I
measured this. paperclipai/paperclip#18738 now runs it.

**Expected behavior**

The server typecheck checks these files, and a type error fails the
check.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. On the base commit, run `tsc -p server/src/__tests__/tsconfig.json
--noEmit`. It reports 6,536 errors and needs 12.3 GiB.
2. Add a type error to any file in `server/src/__tests__`.
3. Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`. It passes.

**Paperclip version or commit**

I measured the error breakdown below on commit `8dfd632452`, with
TypeScript 7.0.2. The branch now includes master up to
paperclipai/paperclip#18865.

**Deployment mode**

Not applicable. This issue applies to development and CI. No production
source file in the server changes.

### Error breakdown

Each row adds one change to the row above.

| Step | Total errors | Change | Cause |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Config as committed | 6,536 | | |
| Add `src/types/*.d.ts` | 4,447 | -2,089 | Config. The Express request
types were missing. |
| Set `rootDir` to the repository root | 2,436 | -2,011 | Config. |
| Set `allowImportingTsExtensions` | 2,181 | -255 | Config. Vitest
accepts `.ts` imports. |
| Add `ES2024.Promise` to `lib` | 2,138 | -43 | Config. Node 24 has
`Promise.withResolvers`. |
| Set `allowJs` for `.mjs` imports | 2,148 | +10 | Config. It removes 8
`TS7016` errors and shows new real errors. |
| Set `declaration` to false | 2,142 | -6 | Config. Tests emit nothing.
|
| Count only files in `server/src` | 2,058 | -84 | Other packages: 53
Daytona, 29 Runner test, 2 UI. |

So 4,478 of the 6,536 errors (69%) came from config or scope, and 2,058
are real type errors in 314 files. The 29 Runner test errors are also
real, which gives 2,087 errors. Tests that master added after this
measurement had 81 more errors, so this pull request fixes 2,168 errors.

This table classifies the first 2,058 errors.

| Kind of real error | Errors |
| --- | --- |
| Wrong argument or assignment type | 1,023 |
| Stale or partial fixture objects | 525 |
| Property that the type does not have | 317 |
| Missing narrowing of null or unknown | 101 |
| Implicit any | 60 |
| Missing name or module | 16 |
| Other | 16 |

### What the type errors hid

Most errors were stale fixtures and loose mocks. These errors hid real
test problems, and this pull request fixes them:

- **A test that never ran.** `instrumentation.test.ts` required
`sdk-trace-base`, which is not installed. So 3 span tests were skipped.
They now run and pass.
- **Assertions that could not fail.**
- `issue-thread-interactions-service` used a company ID as an issue ID.
- `status-card-evaluation-work` compared `[]` with `[]` in a rollback
check.
- `slack-conversation-lifecycle` read `item.issueId`, which does not
exist.
  - `email-channels` used a permission key that does not exist.
- `heartbeat-project-env` imported `LOW_TRUST_REVIEW_PRESET`, which is
not exported. The value was undefined.
- **Postgres processes that did not stop.** 11 test files called `stop`
on the test database helper. That method does not exist, and the helper
method is `cleanup`.
- **Arguments that the service ignored.**
- `methodKey` is now `connectionMethodKey` in the Daytona, Unikraft,
1Password, and Railway tests.
- 108 calls passed `"owner-user"` to a parameter that expects an options
object.
- 9 chat wizard fixtures passed `managementContext` as `source`, so they
ran `existing_app` and not `manifest`.
  - 2 tests passed a `{ userId }` actor that the function ignores.
- Inserts into `environments` passed a `companyId` column that the table
does not have.
- **Problems in tests that master added during this work.**
- `sandbox-creation-operations` read `database.connectionString` when an
external test database was set. In that mode `database` is undefined, so
the fixture would stop with a TypeError. It now uses the external URL.
- `idle-completed-history` set a Dot operation to `dispatched`. That is
a Muse status, and the Dot type does not have it. The fixture now uses
`admitted`, which is a real in-flight Dot status.

### Possible product problems, not changed

These may be real problems in production code or types. I did not change
them, because this pull request does not change production behavior:

- `decisions-service` `service.create` does not validate the lenient
`cancel_issue_tree` input.
- `createConnection` ignores `input.connectionPurpose`.
- The `createConnection` route schema default stores `{}` for
`transportConfig`.
- `prepareManagedAiRuntime` accepted the invalid value `mode:
"connection"`.
- `createBinding` accepts invalid `projectionClass` strings outside
class 3.
- `ensureManagedProjectWorkspace` forwards an untyped `repoRef` by
spread.
- `routineVariableSchema.label` is optional, but `RoutineVariable.label`
is required.
- `ToolRunContext.projectId` may be too strict.
- `withdrawInteraction` reads `issue.status`, which its type omits.
- `issueService.list` and `reconcileNativeFinalizations` omit fields
that they return at runtime.
- `createGitHubExternalObjectProvider` handles `tokenProvider: null`,
but its type forbids this value.

## What Changed

- Fixed the 2,168 type errors. The diff changes 322 test and helper
files.
- Corrected `server/src/__tests__/tsconfig.json`. Editors and the
typecheck now read the same options and report the same errors.
- Added three `test-tree` layers to
`server/scripts/typecheck-layers.mjs`. They read the server layers as
declarations, and any error fails them. A hash of the path selects the
shard, so a new file does not move other files.
- Added `server/scripts/typecheck-stubs/daytona-sdk.d.ts`. Server tests
reach Daytona plugin source, and the root install does not have
`@daytonaio/sdk`.
- Changed two imports in `ui/src/lib/issue-execution-policy.ts` to use
`.js` extensions, because server tests import this file.
- Made `declarationsConfig` and `--declarations-only` skip the
`test-tree` layers, because these layers emit nothing. Other projects
read only the source layers. Added a test for this.
- Updated `doc/DEVELOPING.md`.

## Verification

Run these commands:

```sh
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck
pnpm exec vitest run server/scripts/typecheck-layers.test.mjs
```

Results on macOS (arm64), Node 24, 16 cores. Each check ran after the
merge of paperclipai/paperclip#18738 unless the row says otherwise:

| Check | Commit | Result |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Server typecheck, `PAPERCLIP_TYPECHECK_LOW_MEMORY=1`, all 7 layers |
`6e45a08573` | Exit 0, 0 errors, 62 seconds, peak 3.52 GiB |
| `node scripts/typecheck-test-projects.mjs --low-memory` | `a3306bd13e`
| Exit 0, 0 errors, 42 seconds, peak 3.25 GiB |
| The same script with `--reuse-declarations` | `1b878aabc0` | Exit 0, 0
errors |
| `typecheck-layers.test.mjs` and `live-recovery-work.test.ts` |
`01db5634e4` | 90 passed. These include real compiler runs for a pass, a
type error, and an invalid tsconfig. |
| `tsconfig.declarations.json` after a full server typecheck |
`0fb1e4fb0a` | It references only `below`, `cycle`, and `above`. No
generated config names a `tsconfig.layers.json` file. |
| Owned runtime test in `idle-completed-history` | `e8f2f448ac` |
Passed, with the fix that master later replaced |
| `idle-incoming-wake`, `plugin-idle-manager`, and the changed
`chat-channels` test | `6e45a08573` | 30 passed |
| Runner `native-execution.test.ts` | `eab4dcc1f4` | 114 passed |
| The 19 server test files that changed since `eab4dcc1f4`, and
`typecheck-layers.test.mjs` | `259737b700` | 4,275 of 4,277 passed. The
2 failures are in `chat-channels` and are in the list of 7 below. |

The peak is the largest single process, from `/usr/bin/time -l`. Peaks
for the server typecheck were between 3.42 GiB and 3.56 GiB across 8
runs. Peaks for the test projects were 3.25 GiB and 3.37 GiB across 2
runs. I did not measure a cgroup.

**Runtime check of the fixes.** Types do not prove that a test still
works. So I ran all 309 changed server test files, 11,929 tests, before
the rebase onto paperclipai/paperclip#18737:

| Result | Tests | Detail |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Passed | 11,913 | Includes the 2 tests and the 54 `dot-runner` tests
that passed in a later run, as described below. |
| Failed | 7 | The same 7 tests also fail on the commit before the
fixes. |
| Skipped | 9 | These tests have their own skip conditions: `sentry` 5,
and 1 each in `bundled-plugin-registration`, `customer-success-cloud`,
`onepassword-connection`, and `workspace-runtime-https-live-exercise`. |

The 7 tests that fail with and without this change, on my machine:

- 3 tests in `chat-channels` and `email-channels` stop with `ENOENT` on
a `SKILL.md` file. The path is in the parent checkout, above the git
worktree that I used, so I expect that the worktree is the cause. I did
not prove this.
- `workspace-instance-cleanup` compares `/private/var/...` with
`/var/...`. This is a macOS symlink difference.
- 2 tests in `git-reproducible-managed-checkouts` get
`unknown_base_git_files` and expect `unpushed_managed_checkout`. I did
not find the cause.
- 1 more test in `chat-channels`, `materializes direct external-chat
finals once`, gets `undefined`. I did not find the cause.

CI is the check for these 7 tests. `ci / verify` passed on `eab4dcc1f4`.

Failures during this work:

- My fix to `agent-runtime-connector-access` changed an invalid
permission key in the setup, but not in the assertion. The runtime check
found this. I corrected the assertion, and the file passes.
- `heartbeat-plugin-environment` failed one wait in the full run. It
passed three times alone, so I think that load caused the failure. It
can fail again under load.
- `dot-runner` skipped all 54 tests in the full run because `cargo` was
not on my `PATH`. It then passed 54 of 54 with the toolchain on the
`PATH`.
- My first `lib` value removed the default DOM types, and the error
count went up by 375. I added the DOM libraries.
- My Daytona stub with bare `any` left 48 errors, because generic
helpers then inferred `unknown`. I added shapes that return promises.
- One fix to `agent-secrets-routes` used `class_3_static_lease`, and the
test failed. That class allows only specific paths. I reverted to
`unclassified`.
- `ci / General tests (server (8/12))` failed on `259737b700` because of
the flaky port in `idle-completed-history`. paperclipai/paperclip#18853
fixed this test on master, so this pull request keeps that fix.

**Audit of the diff.** I counted these patterns in added and removed
lines, to find fixes that only hide an error:

| Pattern | Added | Removed |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `@ts-ignore` | 0 | 0 |
| `@ts-expect-error` | 0 | 1 |
| `.skip` | 0 | 0 |
| `as any` | 9 | 9 |
| `: any` | 11 | 2 |
| `as never` | 8 | 2 |
| `as unknown as` | 35 | 4 |
| `Promise<unknown>` | 16 | 5 |
| `expect(` | 128 | 113 |

No hunk removes more `expect(` calls than it adds. Three removals of
test content were intentional, and I checked each one:

- `muse-control` removed `signalToken`. Line 1012 already asserts that
it is absent.
- `merged-pr-confirmation-sweep` removed legacy aliases. Other tests
cover them.
- `heartbeat-workspace-branch-containment` removed a `finalize` branch
that no test row can reach.

Some partial fixtures stay unchecked through `as unknown as` and
`Promise<unknown>`, mostly in `issue-agent-mutation-ownership-routes`
and `issue-comment-reopen-routes`.

**Accuracy of the check.** One program over the tree and the three
shards reported the same errors at the same positions. Memory, as the
peak of the largest process on one thread, was 3.93 GiB for one program
and 2.43 GiB for the largest shard. I measured these two values before
the fixes.

Not run or not proven:

- I did not run the full `pnpm test:run`, or a root `pnpm build`. I
expect CI to run the full suites.
- I did not run the 4 GiB container check, or the full
`scripts/typecheck-low-memory.mjs`. The peaks above come from macOS, so
they are not a Linux cgroup measurement.
- I did not run the UI typecheck after the merges.
- `workspace-runtime-https-live-exercise` is skipped, so its `cleanup`
fix did not run.

## Risks

- **A large diff in test files.** 328 files change. A pull request that
edits the same tests can get merge conflicts. New tests on master can
also add type errors before this merges. Any such error fails this check
and needs a fix here.
- **A higher cost for changes to source types.** A change to a type can
add errors in test files that the author did not touch. The author must
then fix them. This is the purpose of the check, but it is new work.
- **Changed test behavior.** Some tests now run paths that they did not
run before, such as the 9 chat wizard fixtures and the 3 span tests.
They pass here, but they can be more sensitive to timing or to the
environment.
- **The Daytona stub can go stale.** The stub is written by hand. If the
plugin uses a new SDK member, the typecheck reports an error until
someone updates the stub.
- **The release path.** `release-verify.yml` and `scripts/release.sh`
run `pnpm -r typecheck`, so they now run this check.
- **The tsconfig change.** The test transform reads
`server/src/__tests__/tsconfig.json`. The options that I changed are for
type checks, and the runs above passed.
- **A gap that remains.** Tsconfigs in `packages/paperclip-runner` and
in most sandbox provider plugins exclude `*.test.ts`. This check does
not read most of those test files, so they can still drift. That work is
separate from this pull request.

DottaandPaperclip 683fa4725e fix(evals): refresh native runtime and pin reviewed catalog repairs (#18780)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people inspect and manage their agents’ work.
> - The timeline must report canonical ownership history, and OpenCode
tool failures need bounded diagnostics.
> - The measured candidate also had independently reproduced
question-navigation and oracle defects.
> - This change promotes the reviewed production fixes and pins one
immutable, qualified source composition.
> - Original queries, model, counts, clocks, privacy controls and
qualification holds remain intact.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18775, #18777, #18779, #18711, #18713, #18718, #18699, #18798,
#18799.

**What happened?** The measured candidate predates merged native-runtime
fixes and contains fixture defects. The timeline omitted recorded
reassignment/removal history. Finish-input errors lacked a closed
correlation and shape witness.

**Expected behavior:** project recorded ownership transitions without
inventing facts, distinguish successful native execution from failed
verification steps, and retain content-free finish diagnostics.

**Steps to reproduce:** repeat an unchanged assignee while editing
another field; then reassign or unassign it. Only recorded transitions
should appear. Invalid OpenCode finish input should produce a correlated
rejection witness without values or schema text.

Related #18699 adds gated company OTLP diagnostics. This change uses the
existing local callback; it adds no exporter or capture policy.

## What Changed

- Promote canonical timeline creation, reassignment and removal
projection from #18777. Initial child ownership requires a recorded
fresh-creation receipt; delegation requires a readable recorded parent.
Unknown legacy facts fail closed. User actors/owners require active
company membership; agent actors/targets must exist in that company.
Spans, events and edges share that admission filter. Remove the
introduced all-history absence query and use guarded indexed UUID
lookups.
- Add the shared/OpenAPI `unassigned` event kind, preserving newer main
contracts and issue-route/service code through reviewed semantic joins.
Existing UI consumers remain generic; no new visual marker is claimed.
- Add bounded OpenCode finish diagnostics: schema digest, hashed call
identity, closed shape enums and validation category. A throwing sink
does not change admission or cancellation.
- Pin immutable candidate `fd5e3b1e5a379524c0d1651ed8273e75ffd86541`,
composed from combined #18777 source
`b734393eff0d7ef85b7ad8abd556d2a66ca3a4e6` plus the reviewed MCP
diagnostic delta. It preserves actually merged #18775
`97c07d149b5670088faf15317dcf603c75e2af87` and #18779
`a352c057d475067b4fe67375f06785287dfbe0ce`, and merged runtime fixes
#18711, #18713 and #18718.
- Qualify narrative handling for adjacent repair/verification sentences,
intervening native-failure wording, and negated repair objects.
Questions, denials and hypotheticals retain their controls. Preserve
Previous question beside the qualified Entity type import; separately
restore the already-called `internalResultLink` goal helper binding.
That import is a runtime fixture repair, not a type-only change.
- Include the narrow older-baseline CI typecheck closure and causal
heartbeat test observers in the candidate. All four default typecheck
projects execute. Main already includes the protected upstream tooling
and newer heartbeat fixture, so neither is overwritten with an older
candidate file.
- Preserve all 244 identities, original queries, model, native/human
counts and clocks, including the explicit prior Studio accounting
exception. The full catalog stays on its candidate branch; the 196/244
gate and historical SDK runtime holds remain.

## Verification

The primary’s f478 retry repeated the real composer-hidden five-second
assertion (1 failure,18 passes,1 skip). Investigation established a
setup readiness gap: an outer route response can delay mounting the chat
thread beyond the assertion. The successor adds the existing real-thread
`aria-busy="false"` readiness barrier before the unchanged composer
assertion. The original120-second scenario and digest, unread,
source-link, history, and reply checks are unchanged. The full owning
browser scenario passed naturally in10.2s and with its first real chat
response held6000ms in12.0s. This synchronizes fixture setup; the
underlying AWS late-mount latency remains unproved.

**Current main gates passed:** exact head
`823dab49fcd8470140c178771e5c0c6b78725e97` has [successful normal
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41724620555),
including both required aggregates, fresh Greptile 5/5 and zero
unresolved review threads. Paperclip Review is neutral with a completed
substantive 5/5 and no actionable defect. The current optional
Superagent Security Scan is neutral/inconclusive: Security Graph context
retrieval returned HTTP503, so its assessment did not start. That result
supplies no security PASS credit. The primary source PR retains its
separate current-head gate before Root sequences normal protected
merges.

- Reviewed MCP controls: 130 on main and 129 on the older candidate.
Meaningful parent comparisons failed before implementation/correlation
correction. Controls cover actual offered schema identity, null/omitted
admission, bounded rejection categories and throwing-sink cancellation.
- Exact unchanged production postimages retain 63 Postgres/public-route
controls, nine plan controls and the focused index-plan proof. Owner
OpenAPI passes 32 controls; main’s newer contract passes 33. Earlier
setup/sandbox failures remain recorded; unchanged database controls were
not replayed.
- Narrative owner controls pass 216, retaining all prior 207 controls.
The independent peer passes 144 balanced cases; earlier 108 and 39-case
matrices remain retained. Actual consumer parent failures reproduced the
review findings before repair.
- Main’s server NoEmit passed on its protected baseline; only two pin
files changed afterward. The candidate’s prior full server and
four-project checks passed. All server/package/script/root-lock inputs
remain byte-identical; the changed Runner project’s guard passes on the
current source. Compatibility driver controls pass 47 and six owning
suites pass 82. The one explicitly reviewed Docker-only unit omission
concerns an unimported image-build feature; all four intended project
guards still execute.
- Pin/adapter/contract controls pass 47. All 242 expanded declarations,
the two legacy dispatch rows, and all 244 singleton private policies
retain their authenticated identities. Descriptor, launcher and
private-protocol bytes remain exact; declaration loading invoked zero
fixture callbacks.
- All 506 SDK input blobs match the meaningfully compiled `6abe5739`
source vector. Prior real shared/SDK builds measured declaration/map
changes and zero runtime-JavaScript changes; a compiled consumer accepts
the new kind and rejects an unknown kind. The reviewed registry remains
unchanged. Default source proof, 51 SDK controls, 20 custody controls
and 16 UI consumer controls remain qualified;
runtime/compiler/parser/Zod/canary pins and held runtime grades are
unchanged.
- The full Mac heartbeat run on prior observer source retained **58
passes / six failures in 802.78s**. Two nonassignee controls
subsequently pass focused checks. Four late timeout causes remain
unresolved locally; no flakiness/infrastructure cause or complete local
pass is claimed. [Actual AWS
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41712023737/job/126182620050)
ran this exact heartbeat file with **64 passes in 107.209s**. Its
server/package inputs are unchanged in the current narrative-only
successor. The source-identical f478 heartbeat file also passed all64
AWS tests in105.812s; source inputs remain unchanged. Current main
ordinary CI passed; the primary source PR must independently close its
latest-head ordinary CI gate.
- Historical main [run
41713049555](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41713049555)
recorded six synchronized runner-shutdown failures and cancellations;
the shutdown cause is unknown. A separate chat passive-control assertion
observed one `db.transaction` call where zero was expected. Finite local
probes passed 2+2 but did not establish a cause or late stack. No
external publication, cleanup cause, source fix or flakiness is
inferred. The primary’s separate composer-visibility CI failure also
remains an inconclusive historical result; no guessed fix is credited.
No old-head retry was used.
- Earlier UI/inbox fixture failures and the CLI startup timeout remain
historical. UI/inbox repairs are now upstream in #18799/#18798 and main
preserves those files verbatim. The CLI timeout cause remains unknown.
Broader local repository/Rust qualification is not claimed; fresh hosted
CI supplies broader coverage.
- All four actual repair merges, an exact merged-tree/diagnostic source
join, and fresh controller/source/private-policy/active-run guards
precede the ten-case TestOps measurement. No paid or model eval was
launched for this PR; the original three passes/seven failures remain
unchanged.

## Risks

The next ten-case model result is unproved. Earlier MCP timeout and
continuation-shape causes remain unknown; diagnostics provide future
evidence without relaxing validation or rewriting grades. Prior local/CI
failures are retained, including the unresolved chat assertion and local
heartbeat timeouts.

Initial ownership requires canonical in-window audit facts. Missing
legacy facts remain unknown. The additive `unassigned` contract is
synchronized across shared/OpenAPI/server consumers, with no new UI
marker.

SDK runtime holds and the broader 196/244 qualification gate remain.
Normal protected merges require fresh checks and resolved feedback; no

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 9fb06afbfa fix(runner): explain ACPX session-start failures and name typed causes (#18847)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native Runner starts ACP providers (Claude, Codex, Pi and others)
through the ACPX sidecar. `session.open` starts the provider session.
> - When the provider session does not start, Runner reports
`classification=session_ensure_failed`. If the provider failed with a
plain error and not with an ACP `RequestError`, no provider cause
crosses the sidecar. Then the run error, the run events and the run log
do not say why the session did not start.
> - A provider can also type the failure, for example with ACP's
authentication-required code. Runner reported that failure with the same
generic classification. The server could not tell a limit or a sign-in
failure at session start from other startup failures.
> - On one instance, a Claude agent hit its provider usage limit. The
first run failed in the turn with a typed limit failure. Each later run
for many hours failed at `session.open` with only
`session_ensure_failed`. Operators could only guess the cause from the
timing.
> - This pull request keeps a redacted, bounded cause for every session
ensure rejection. It names a typed provider category in the closed
classification.
> - The benefit: an operator can read why a session did not start, and a
later recovery change can treat a typed startup failure by its category.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18622, which added the `ProviderFailure` cause for startup and
turn failures. This change closes the remaining startup gaps. Refs
#17543, which is a related open change to the same classifier. It keeps
the JSON-RPC code range as a closed code. The two changes edit the same
lines, so the second one to merge needs a small rebase.

**What happened?**

A native ACPX run failed before its first prompt with `ACPX sidecar
command session.open was rejected (retryable=false,
classification=session_ensure_failed)`. When the ensure rejection was
not an ACP `RequestError`, the run had no other cause data. When the
provider typed the failure (for example ACP `-32000` "Authentication
required"), the classification stayed the same generic value.

**Expected behavior**

Every session ensure rejection keeps a redacted provider cause that an
operator can read on the run. A typed provider failure keeps its
category in the cause and in the closed classification. Provider text
never goes into the closed error text.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Make `runtime.ensureSession` reject with a plain `Error`, or with an
ACP error that has code `-32000`.
2. Open a qualified ACPX runtime through the sidecar.
3. Before this change, the plain error has no `providerFailure`, and the
`-32000` error has category `unknown` and
`classification=session_ensure_failed`.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `e0276e0166c`.

## What Changed

- `acpxProviderFailure` reads ACP's reserved authentication-required
code (`-32000`) as category `authentication`. It also reads the
`errorKind` that Claude ACP puts in ACP error data (`rate_limit`,
`billing_error`, `authentication_failed`, `overloaded` and others). The
category table is now a `Map`, so an `errorKind` such as `constructor`
cannot select an inherited object key.
- The session ensure path in `codex-runtime-adapter.ts` keeps a cause
for every rejection. A rejection without an ACP error keeps its own
message, redacted with the launch environment and the existing
credential patterns, with category `unknown`. An abort reason is Runner
cancellation, so it does not become a provider cause. A non-`Error`
rejection now keeps its cause on the wrapper error.
- `acpx_sidecar_transport.rs`: for `ACPX_SESSION_ENSURE_FAILED`, a
schema-valid cause with a typed category gives
`classification=provider_<category>` (for example
`provider_quota_exhausted`, `provider_rate_limit`,
`provider_authentication`). An untyped or invalid cause keeps
`session_ensure_failed`. Only the validated enum value is used. The
cause's text never goes into the error string.
- `runnerd-codex-transport.ts`: when a command result has a provider
cause, the reported error now keeps Runner's closed ACPX rejection text,
so the classification stays in the run error. Before, it changed that
text to "Provider request failed". Any other message (for example a
Codex `RPC failed: ...` message) still gets the generic text. Provider
text still travels only in `providerFailure`.
- The credential-free Pi probe (`pi-closed-startup.test.mjs`,
`scripts/pi-public-install-probe.mjs`) now expects
`provider_authentication`. Pi reports its missing credential with ACP's
authentication-required error.
- Docs: `doc/run-log-events.md` and
`doc/architecture/runner-pi-capabilities.md`.

**What the Claude ACP agent returns at session start**
(`@agentclientprotocol/claude-agent-acp` 0.73.0 with the repository
patch, and the ACPX 0.13.1 patch):

- `newSession` and `loadSession` call `createSession`. It throws
`RequestError.authRequired` (`-32000`) only for a claude.ai subscription
when gateway auth is hidden. It throws `invalidParams` for a bad `cwd`
and `resourceNotFound` for a missing resumed session.
- Any other error, for example a failed SDK `initializationResult()`,
becomes a generic `-32603 Internal error`. The ACP SDK puts the raw
message in `data.details`, or the parsed JSON body in `data` when the
message is JSON.
- The typed AIR `sessionFailure` (category `limit`, `access` and others)
is sent only on prompt responses and on `session_info_update`
notifications. `loadSession` history replay also sends one for each
earlier usage-limit message, but that notification does not show whether
the limit is still active. The `errorKind` data is attached only by the
prompt loop.
- Thus a usage limit at session start has no typed signal on the ACP
error. The cause keeps the provider's message, and the existing `API
error: NNN` status parse can type it. This change does not add more
free-text matching.

**Shape for a recovery consumer:** the server reads the cause with
`providerFailureFromError(error)`, as it does now. A startup cause has
`phase: "startup"`, a `category` from the `ProviderFailure` schema and
its `retryability`. The run error keeps
`classification=provider_<category>` for a typed ensure failure, or
`session_ensure_failed` when the category is `unknown`.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run src/drivers/acpx src/cli
src/drivers/provider-failure.test.ts
src/live/runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts
src/live/runnerd-codex-transport-settlement.test.ts` in
`packages/paperclip-runner`: 103 of 104 files passed, 2214 tests. The 2
failures are in `installation-integrity.test.ts`. They fail the same way
on unmodified `origin/master` in this checkout (a temporary `server.js`
cannot resolve a module).
- New tests: a plain ensure error keeps its message with the
launch-environment secret and an `sk-ant-` value redacted; a `-32000`
ensure error gives category `authentication`; a non-`Error` rejection
with `errorKind: "billing_error"` gives `quota_exhausted`; an aborted
handshake gets no cause; typed and untyped ACP errors; a closed ACPX
rejection keeps its classification and a changed one gets the generic
text.
- `npx vitest run src/control-plane/acpx-controller-recovery.test.ts`: 8
passed.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --no-fail-fast`: all passed. New
unit test: typed categories give `provider_<category>`; `unknown`, no
cause, a category outside the schema and an extra field each keep
`session_ensure_failed`; other closed codes keep their own
classification. New pipe test through the fake sidecar: the cause
survives the rejection, the classification is typed or generic, and the
cause text is not in the error string. In the first full run, two
`stdio_mcp` relay tests timed out. They passed in the second full run.
They do not use the changed code.
- `node --test test/acpx-sidecar-contract.test.mjs
test/protocol-contract.test.mjs test/pi-closed-startup.test.mjs`: 29
passed. The Pi probe is skipped without the Pi distribution.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner typecheck` (TypeScript,
`cargo fmt --check`, `cargo check`): passed. `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/paperclip-runner build`: passed.
- Server, after the runner build: native provider failure, run
completion, task interruption presentation, Antigravity probe and the
related native session executor tests: 639 passed.
- Not verified: a live Claude account at its usage limit. I could not
run the credential-free Pi probe, because this checkout has no Pi
distribution. Its new expectation follows from the Pi patch, which
raises `RequestError.authRequired` for the missing credential.

## Risks

- The run error for an ACPX startup rejection with a cause now shows
Runner's closed rejection text, not "Provider request failed". This text
has only closed codes and is the same text that the run error showed
before #18622. Provider text stays in `providerFailure`.
- A plain ensure error message now becomes a displayed provider cause.
Redaction applies before the 4,000-character bound. A new credential
format that the patterns do not know can still need a new pattern. The
same risk applies to all provider causes.
- The classification of a typed ensure failure changes from
`session_ensure_failed` to `provider_<category>`. No server code matches
`session_ensure_failed`. The Pi probe expectation is updated.
- The category and retryability are evidence only. This change does not
change retry policy.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) through Claude Code, with tool use
(shell, file edits, test runs). The runtime does not expose the context
window or reasoning configuration.

DottaandPaperclip da77c1bcfa fix(runner): align ordinary document key contracts (#18824)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents that do work.
> - Native agents use tools to read and write task documents.
> - A document key is a stable identifier. The service trims it and
converts it to lowercase before it checks the key.
> - The tool schemas accepted filenames and long keys that the service
rejects.
> - This pull request makes ordinary document tool schemas match the
existing service contract.
> - Agents can now see the key rules before they call the tools.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The schemas for `read_document`, `write_document`, and
`list_document_revisions` accepted `reconciliation.md` and keys longer
than 64 characters after normalization. The task document service
rejects these values. The descriptions did not explain that the key is
an identifier rather than a filename.

**Expected behavior**

The model catalog and the live and scenario tool definitions must
describe the existing document key rules. Values accepted after trimming
and conversion to lowercase must remain compatible. Historical
case-document keys use a separate contract.

**Steps to reproduce**

Validate `{ "key": "reconciliation.md" }` against the previous
`read_document` schema. It passes. Call the document service with that
key. It rejects the key before it reads the database. The added
regression repeats this comparison for all three tools.

## What Changed

- Apply the same document-key pattern to `read_task_document` and
`write_task_document` at the API bridge. Keep their existing raw-input
limit of 100 characters; ordinary tools keep 120. Export the shared
schema through the existing Runner package and server vendor boundary.
Route permissions, normalization and document locks stay with their
current owners.

- Add one shared schema for ordinary task-document keys. Keep the
existing 120-character raw input cap and the 64-character normalized
identifier limit.
- Preserve uppercase input, ECMAScript trim whitespace, and the Kelvin
sign, which converts to ASCII `k`.
- Apply the schema to the model catalog and the three live and scenario
definitions. Regenerate the catalogs, seeded fixture identity, and
fixture manifest.
- Test schema parity against the real task document service. Keep
historical case keys and the backend validator unchanged.

## Verification

- Current-head required CI is green at
`e67d3f1f49393660f0c70b3d1d136e6f86af821d`: 56 successful checks, four
intentional skips, and two neutral checks. [CI attempt
2](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41715924252)
passed after one targeted rerun of five jobs interrupted by the same
runner shutdown; the original interruption is retained. Fresh Greptile
and Paperclip reviews are both 5/5 with no unresolved review threads.
Hosted recovery remains unverified until automatic deployment and
replay.

- Normal master refresh to `e67d3f1f49393660f0c70b3d1d136e6f86af821d`
includes the already merged external-object startup fixture correction.
The previous required canary failed downloading
`mdast-util-gfm-table@2.0.1` with npm E404; later registry metadata and
tarball HEAD both returned 200. A separate general shard failed the
ten-thousand-future-objects startup assertion. Both original failures
remain recorded; neither was bypassed or retried. At the refreshed
baseline, 122 document/bridge cases and the exact large-object startup
case pass locally. Six document cases skip by platform. Fresh required
CI and reviews must pass on this head.

- The current-head Paperclip review found the same mismatch in the
task-scoped bridge. Before the correction, the real advertised schemas
failed 22 parity cases while 87 controls passed. After the correction
and a normal master refresh, the document-key and bridge suites pass 122
cases, with six platform-specific skips. The tests compare advertised
JSON Schema, runtime Zod validation, and the actual normalized document
service. They retain the bridge raw 100/101 boundary and historical
case-key controls.
- Runner TypeScript build, all server typecheck layers, and the actual
production Runner and server build pass. The final server build stamp
binds commit `80c880709c5f5630799fb8a48d54ff11ebc16610`. Full
current-head CI and fresh review are required after the correction. The
earlier CI run was externally cancelled and rerun; its cancellation
remains recorded.

- The regression failed in 33 of 64 cases before the fix. The remaining
cases passed as controls.
- The fixed regression passes all 67 cases, including every ECMAScript
trim character.
- The four focused Runner contract suites pass: 116 tests. They cover
all three tool surfaces and existing case behavior.
- Generated catalogs and manifest checks pass. Module-boundary and diff
checks pass.
- All server production typecheck layers pass. The test layer passes
after correcting the new test’s Ajv import. The full production server
and Runner build passes at a3e6191590.
- Full repository checks run in required CI. No hosted replay or
provider behavior claim is made.

## Risks

- The tool schema now rejects unsupported keys before the service does.
Older callers that used invalid filenames must use a stable key such as
`reconciliation`.
- The compatibility pattern must track the service normalization rules.
The regression checks the real service and includes Unicode
compatibility controls.
- No database, authorization, document revision, idempotency, or
case-document rules change.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol`, Extra High reasoning. The model used code
execution, repository tools, and test output. The host does not expose
the context window size.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip f7fae6b738 fix(runner): preserve native Claude GitHub broker transport (#18850)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Shared agents use managed GitHub launchers to acquire credentials
for the active run.
> - Native Claude runs through the ACPX provider environment boundary.
> - That boundary keeps the launcher paths but removes their broker
transport settings.
> - Shell commands then report `capability_missing`, even when connector
tools work.
> - This pull request retains the three transport settings for explicit
Claude managed launchers.
> - Shell commands can use the existing session broker and its current
access checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Native Claude through ACPX cannot authenticate shell `git` and `gh`
commands through an eligible managed GitHub connection. The launcher
reports `GitHub capability_missing`. Connector tools can still
authenticate through their own path.

**Expected behavior**

Managed shell commands acquire credentials for the active run. Provider
processes do not receive raw GitHub tokens or ambient host credentials.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Configure an eligible managed GitHub connection and a native Claude
ACPX execution.
2. Start a task and run `gh api user` through its terminal.
3. Observe `capability_missing`, although the corresponding connector
identity request succeeds.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced from source at `6ef37398c8d799c5142a3a6590ecc70ad352b663` and
current master `0b87308d5de93b4b8f18eeea89afc0bb4d9480a7` with
controlled local dependencies. The affected runtime is native Claude
through ACPX in a managed sandbox.

Related: #18212 preserves Claude launcher selectors. This change
supplies the missing broker transport. #18081 and #17599 address a
separate Legacy Codex shell-policy boundary. #15354 addresses Legacy
ACPX session hashes. The duplicate search found no open PR for this
native Claude boundary. ROADMAP.md already lists managed personal GitHub
identities; this restores that existing behavior.

## What Changed

- Retain the broker URL, session capability and bridge capability within
the existing explicit Claude managed-launcher allowlist.
- Continue to reject raw GitHub tokens, ambient broker settings,
task-supplied overrides and transport for other ACPX providers.
- Add real Bash and launcher subprocess controls with a loopback broker
and fixture Git/gh executables. Cover isolated, prepared and
preconfigured homes; changed operation identities; revocation; and
recovery.
- Confirm that broker capabilities stay out of persisted session
environment data. Update the execution guide.

The ACPX environment owner retains this behavior. Broker authorization
and credential resolution do not change. No shared API or schema changes
are needed.

## Verification

- Passing: 84 focused tests across `environment.test.ts`,
`github-launcher.test.ts`, `runtime-sandbox.test.ts` and
`configured-environment.test.ts` in the Runner package.
- Passing: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner
typecheck:typescript` and repository-wide `pnpm -r typecheck`.
- Passing: repository-wide `pnpm build`.
- Passing: 60 existing adapter-utils launcher tests; one unrelated test
is skipped.
- Passing: `node scripts/check-maps.mjs`, `node
scripts/check-module-boundaries.mjs`, and `git diff --check`.
- The new regression failed before the fix: both shell commands ran
anonymously and the unit check showed the three missing broker settings.
After the fix, the local broker receives each operation, changes
identity for later commands, and denies revoked access without reusing a
prior token.
- The prepared-home fixture first rejected a macOS temporary-directory
alias. It now resolves that fixture directory to its canonical path. A
launcher-control command also named a nonexistent package config; the
corrected run uses the root Vitest config.
- Both `pnpm test:run` attempts stopped in chat-suite setup when
embedded Postgres initialization exited with no numeric status. No chat
tests ran. An independent database-support probe between attempts
succeeded. The startup cause is not established; the full local suite is
not verified. No further identical retry was made.
- [CI run 41713841404, attempt
2](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41713841404)
passed on `92fd931722486c111030a7efe19dfc73f530b4c8`: 48 successful jobs
and one conditional skip. This includes browser shards, general and
serialized tests, Runner static/Rust/package/native-server checks,
build, typecheck and the canary dry run. No CI jobs remain pending or
failed.
- The first CI attempt was interrupted on multiple runners. Browser and
server/chat jobs logged runner shutdown signals followed by
cancellation. The Runner static check reported lost communication with
its runner. No failing browser assertion was recorded before
termination; the summary gates failed on interrupted jobs. The
successful retry used the same source revision. It shows recovery but
does not establish why the hosts stopped.
- Greptile reviewed `92fd931722486c111030a7efe19dfc73f530b4c8` at 5/5
with no outstanding findings. All review threads are resolved, and
GitHub reports the branch as mergeable with no conflicts.

The source tests use fixture credentials and a loopback broker on macOS
arm64 with Node 25.6.1. They do not qualify a live Claude process,
deployed sandbox, Windows shell or GitHub write. No existing run or
deployed configuration was changed.

## Risks

- Claude shell commands can read the explicitly supplied broker
capabilities. Managed launchers need those capabilities. The existing
broker still enforces active session/run binding, responsible identity,
trust and connection access.
- The exception applies only when the controller supplies a Claude
managed-launcher directory. Raw GitHub tokens remain excluded, and
broker settings remain absent from persisted session environment data.
- No migration is required. Existing provider processes need their
normal retirement and restart to receive a new launch environment.
Deployment and live sandbox verification remain separate steps.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` through the Codex harness, with xhigh reasoning.
Used repository inspection, code editing and shell execution. The
context window size is not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 1c9ca5829f perf(ci): overlap Runner workloads and cache debug workspace builds (#18794)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Required CI checks protect its server and Runner contracts.
> - Recent full runs waited on general server files and the final Runner
lane.
> - That Runner lane ran package tests before native server tests.
> - PR jobs also rebuilt unchanged debug workspace binaries.
> - This pull request overlaps those workloads and reuses exact trusted
build inputs.
> - The benefit is a shorter critical path with the same test coverage
and AWS authorization.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18544, #18773, #18774, #18798, #18799.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The wall time of required PR tests and the precision of affected-test
selection.

**Current behavior**

General server and native files use two workers. The second Runner
Vitest lane runs its package shard and then the native server group.
Each Runner job compiles debug workspace units again. A Vite raw import
also retains its consumer for unrelated source edits.

**Proposed behavior**

Use three isolated workers for general server files and four for native
files. Reuse the two Runner slots for a complete package suite and a
complete native server suite. Restore all debug binaries only on an
exact input key. Record raw imports as explicit file inputs.

## What Changed

- Separate the Runner package and native server workloads without adding
CI jobs. Preserve the old command arguments for master-pinned workflows,
local commands, and other shard counts.
- Increase file workers while retaining fork isolation, serial cases,
and the shared-database guard.
- Add an exact debug workspace cache. Derive binary targets from Cargo.
Include source, fixtures, generated inputs, manifests, compiler
identity, flags, Cargo configuration, and checkout path in its key.
Discard incomplete restores. Only verified master pushes can save it.
- Keep older PR checkouts working when they lack the new cache helper.
- Track Vite `?raw` imports as repository file inputs. Keep unknown
loaders, untracked files, and opaque effects conservative.
- Add cache and coverage guards and document the behavior. AWS runner
authorization is unchanged.
- Keep paired test benchmarking available when install hooks correctly
disable materialized dependency reuse. The old benchmark asserted a
cache hit in that safe fallback.
- Wait for active dispatch work to finish before asserting idle reads.
Analyze the two 16,400-row database fixtures before their queries so
they have current planner statistics. Suppress only PostgreSQL notices
inside the cleanup transaction to avoid logging every cascaded table;
warnings/errors remain visible. Row counts, real queries, assertions,
database reset, and timeouts remain unchanged.

## Verification

- 196 affected CI tests passed, including routing, coverage, selection
failure fallbacks, shared-database serialization, and existing/new cache
guards. Final worker/cache adjustments also passed their focused checks.
- `pnpm build` and `pnpm -r typecheck` passed locally. Full test
coverage is being verified by the Linux CI profile; `pnpm test:run` was
not repeated as a full serial local run. The paired CI benchmark passed.
Both paired benchmarks passed, and full CI passed again after
integrating newer master commits. The external Paperclip Review app is
the only pending status.
- Actual debug artifacts remained fresh after simulating checkout
timestamps: Cargo completed in 0.82 seconds; the content key was
unchanged. This is local reuse evidence, not a measured GitHub cache
transfer.
- Same real UI inventory for a retention-test-only change: 861 files;
retained selection fell from 413 to 401. All 12 omitted files are
raw-input consumers; edits to their inputs remain covered by regression
tests.
- The first local worker comparison is invalid. Development dependency
links disappeared during its second run. The two-worker baseline also
had two macOS path assertions in company-skills. Neither result is
counted as a successful speedup. Dependencies were restored. A local
repeat was interrupted before producing results. The completed Linux
comparison below supplies the valid paired evidence.
- [Paired Linux
benchmark](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41671244016):
baseline and candidate ran the same 113 general-server files and 1,777
cases on one host. Wall time fell from 381.29s to 346.89s (9.0%). Both
exited successfully and file/case inventories matched exactly. The
fixture command took 31.77s versus 28.65s. This is one sequential pair,
excluding setup, queueing and the full CI critical path.
- [Repeat paired Linux
benchmark](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41675496862):
the same 113 files and 1,974 cases took 485.06s in the baseline versus
368.54s in the candidate (24.0%). File and case inventories again
matched exactly. The baseline includes newer master changes than the
first pair, so these are two independent comparisons, not repeated
timings of an identical tree.
- Initial full AWS profile: package suite passed 4,891 tests (289 files,
one skipped); native suite passed 172 tests (9 files, 12 pre-existing
platform/feature skips). Native execution took 239.06 seconds; the older
sample ran 165 native tests in 391.29 seconds. The package lane now
takes 11m01 including setup and debug compilation. This is an indicative
cross-run comparison, not a paired full-CI speedup claim.
- The initial run failed two UI fixtures, one serialized inbox
settlement assertion, and one dispatch idle assertion. The two UI
failures reproduced locally. The fixes preserve authorization,
admission, and zero-idle-read assertions. All four affected files passed
locally: 48/48 tests. Token gates passed. All four also passed in the
next AWS profile. That profile passed every other workload but timed out
the 16,400-row keyed attention fixture at its existing 180s limit; this
is accounted for by the explicit fixture-statistics change. Local
focused comparisons pass both large cases before and after; their
roughly 33s test execution is unchanged locally, so this is not claimed
as an additional speed gain. A full local file run passed both large
cases (7.57s / 18.05s) but hit the unchanged 30s teardown deadline on
its first test while emitting thousands of cascade notices. Cleanup now
suppresses those notices within its transaction; the complete file then
passed 34/34 in 107.72s. The latest-head AWS run passed the previously
failing shard: the keyed bulk case took 40.25s (previously exceeded
180s), the keyless case took 8.02s, and the complete attention file took
89.61s. The 16,400-row fixtures and original timeouts remain intact.
- [Full CI profile before master
integration](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41675497699)
passed on commit `5858956d4ac2c99c911ad2447b63e1f8fc84e31e`, including
all tests, build, typecheck and final verification. Greptile reviewed
that exact commit at 5/5; the only actionable review thread is resolved.
The separate Paperclip Review app is still queued.
- [Final merged-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41678956312)
passed on `499aa206a6e03bf8f3249692ea731367a000591d`: 48 successful jobs
and one intentionally skipped file-selection job. Backup checkpoint
qualification and legacy security status passed. Greptile reviewed this
exact commit at 5/5. The PR is conflict-free; only the separate
Paperclip Review app remains queued.
- Integrated current master after #18798 and #18799 merged the inbox and
UI fixture fixes separately. Preserved master's inbox settlement fix and
verified its entire file (6/6 tests). Those three files are no longer
part of this PR's diff. Removed the temporary `profile-ci` label after
both successful benchmark pairs; the normal planner still schedules
every job because the CI configuration changes are global inputs.
- Second AWS profile: native tests took 229.97s with the same 172 passes
/ 12 skips; package tests took 427.44s with 4,891 passes / 10 skips. The
complete package job took 10m44, including setup and 79s debug
compilation.
- The PR uses the trusted workflow from master. Candidate worker/layout
code runs now; workflow-level debug restores begin after merge and the
first successful master cache writer.

## Risks

- Extra workers can expose load-sensitive tests. The final full CI
profile passed, but one run is not a long-term flake-rate measurement.
- The cache is an optimization only. Misses rebuild, and test commands
still execute. A new Cargo workspace member requires a cache-contract
review.
- Compiler alternatives remain experiments. Required TypeScript checks
are unchanged.

Typechecker experiment: three sequential checks per tool on identical
built projects, with TypeScript 7.0.2, Bun 1.4.4, and tsrs
0.20.1-ts7.1.0-beta. Median seconds (TypeScript / Bun / tsrs): shared
0.429 / 0.083 / 0.157; UI 2.554 / 0.390 / 0.740; server 9.949 / 1.194 /
1.782. TypeScript and Bun passed all three projects. All tools caught
the same four deliberate assignment, property, nullability, and
generic-constraint errors. tsrs reported one additional server TS2345
diagnostic in the run-dispatch adapter, so it did not pass the project
comparison. These local compiler times exclude generation and build
steps; they are not full CI savings.

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 2e37c73c05 Tell the agent about the launcher's memory limit (#18801)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The native Runner supervises the harness and tool processes for each
run
> - A launcher can put a memory limit on those processes
> - When a process goes above the limit, the kernel kills it, and the
agent sees only exit code 137
> - Any SIGKILL gives that code, so the agent cannot know the cause
> - The agent can then run the same command again and fail again, and
the people who read the run see no reason
> - Only the launcher knows if a limit applies, so Runner must not
assume one
> - The kernel gives the limit and the kill count in cgroup files
> - This pull request adds an optional `--task-memory-cgroup` flag that
names the task's cgroup
> - The benefit is that the agent knows the limit before it starts, the
agent can confirm a kill, and the run shows each kill

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #18730. That pull request lets the kernel kill large tool
processes under Runner. This pull request tells the agent when that
occurs because of a memory limit.

**What happened?**

A tool process on a VM with a 6 GiB task limit went above the limit. The
kernel killed it, and Runner and the agent continued. The agent received
exit code 137 and no other data. It ran the same type check in different
forms, and the kernel killed it five times.

**Expected behavior**

The agent knows about the limit. It can confirm that the limit killed
its process. It can then reduce the work or report a blocker. The run
shows the kills.

**Steps to reproduce**

Start Runner under a memory limit. Start a tool process that goes above
the limit. The agent and the run show only exit code 137.

**Deployment mode**

Native Runner on Linux, when the launcher gives the flag.

## What Changed

- Add the optional `--task-memory-cgroup <path>` flag to
`paperclip-runnerd`. Runner has no default value.
- Runner reads the limit from `memory.max` on the parent of that cgroup.
Runner reads the kill count from `oom_kill` in `memory.events` on that
cgroup.
- When a limit exists, add a note to the Codex and ACPX instructions at
launch. The note gives the limit, the meaning of exit code 137, the
paths of the files to read, and what to do after a kill.
- Record a `provider.notice.recorded` warning when `oom_kill` increases.
Runner watches `memory.events` for the kernel's change signal, so an
idle Runner does not read it. Runner takes the starting count before it
executes commands. It does not report kills from before it started.
- Without the flag, or when the parent has no limit, the instructions do
not change. Without the flag, Runner does not read the files and records
no notice.
- Add unit and integration tests.

## Verification

Tests ran in `rust:1-bookworm` on Linux arm64:

- `cargo fmt --all`
- `cargo clippy -p paperclip-runner-core --bin paperclip-runnerd --lib`
has no warnings in the new module.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --lib -- task_memory
restores_settled_session_for_explicit_run_attachment_only`: The task
memory tests pass. The second filter covers the note in the ACPX session
configuration.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --test task_memory`: this test
uses a separate process. It checks that no note and no monitor exist
before the flag value is set. It then checks the note in the Codex
`thread/start` and `thread/resume` requests.

The tests use files in a temporary directory that have the format of the
cgroup files. In a separate test on a real kernel, a kill above a limit
on a parent cgroup increased `oom_kill` in the cgroup of the killed
process. It did not increase `oom_kill` in the other child.

On a real kernel, an unprivileged process that watched `memory.events`
through a read-only mount received the change signal at the kill.

I did not run the complete suite locally. CI runs it.

I did not run this with a real launcher or on a real VM. The notice
payload has the same fields as other Runner notices, but no test sends
it through the control plane.

## Risks

- The note adds text to each provider's instructions when the launcher
gives the flag. If the text makes the instructions go above the provider
limit, Runner does not add the note.
- The task must be able to read the cgroup files. If it cannot, the note
is absent or the agent cannot read the paths, and the run continues as
it does now.
- A kill while the run is not ready gives a notice later. A kill after
Runner records 64 notices gives no notice. The agent can still read the
file.
- This pull request does not send a message into an active turn, because
most ACPX profiles do not support this. The agent must read the file to
confirm a kill.

## Model Used

tool use and code execution.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

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

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

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

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

## Risks

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

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

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 3910352c92 feat(runner): add experimental Cursor Cloud provider (#18068)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Runner gives each provider durable execution, tool, and completion
contracts.
> - Cursor Cloud currently has a direct adapter outside that native
contract.
> - Cloud work needs exact ownership across HTTP, SSE, Stop, and
recovery.
> - This PR adds a qualified Cloud API driver and verified proxy to
Runner.
> - Product setup and hosted placement remain separate dependent
changes.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #5664, #11803, #17299, and #17471. Product integration is #18069.
Managed-only API placement is #18310. The related direct-adapter
model/transcript work is not replaced. No duplicate native Cursor Cloud
integration was found.

## What Changed

- Add native `cursor_cloud` / `cursor_cloud_api` with explicit
model/repository validation, bounded HTTP/SSE, durable per-turn
checkpoints and a qualified Node proxy launched through the Rust facade.
- Commit terminal custody before publication/release; coalesce
consumers, preserve ambiguous create/Stop/recovery fences, reject late
tools, and distinguish definitely-unsent oversized requests from
ambiguous responses.
- Support scoped cold attachment, current authority, reconnect and
verified artifact staging. Keep unsupported warm/external and Windows
paths closed.
- Preserve early source cursors and verify immutable legacy prefixes
before suffix replay, including supported compaction/masking. Optional
proof publication failure falls back to complete cold verification.
- Preserve canonical records at the durable native producer with
JSON-safe privacy and the existing 8MiB bound; drain admitted successor
flushes. Reconcile upstream semantic/pack/schema/lifecycle changes and
retain S3 and legacy CLI checks.

## Verification

Core head `37c442ec8dd4`: all 66 check contexts are terminal
successful/neutral/skipped, including required `ci / verify` and `ci /
e2e`; fresh exact-head Greptile is 5/5 with zero unresolved threads.
Dependent Product `81e828d20a77` and Top `dd2959689627` include the
later client handoff correction and are running their own fresh gates.

Core: 47/47 Rust, 4/4 compiled-native retirement, 19/19 settlement and
normal Runner build passed. Runtime Top `9af1a5de42a2`: build and
recursive typecheck passed. Earlier source-scoped evidence includes 398
focused tests, five relay tests and token/type gates. The 251-assertion,
7/8-suite run failed physical PostgreSQL teardown; the unchanged stable
WSP suite passed 128 through the documented wrapper.

The downstream fixture corrections passed 7/7 browser and 121/121
startup tests without timeout/oracle relaxation; a broken-unsubscribe
control fails. Hosted runtime `9af1a5de42a2` has a passing normal build
and recursive typecheck. Latest dependent heads additionally contain a
pure client fix for stale live/history overlap, with 48 focused tests,
UI typecheck and token gates passing. Its new client is not deployed in
the frozen hosted image; server/native/API/provider source is unchanged
by these four downstream files.

Fresh hosted Linux admission on `9af1a5de42a2` retired its owned
runner/proxy/socket with zero prompts. The saved configuration survived
reopening, and Test authenticated the bound key/catalog/selected model
without a prompt. Artifact with `claude-sonnet-4-5` completed,
downloaded the exact 27 bytes, matched 121 canonical identities against
complete logs and independently reached FINISHED. The active Stop retry
was clicked within its immutable boundary, produced one canonical
interrupted turn and acknowledged run-only cancellation, retained a
valid 35.076s quiet window (maximum gap 4.584s), and independently
remained CANCELLED/artifact-absent beyond the original 180-second
command deadline. All provider-observer credential callbacks, DB clients
and loaders closed; accounting is settled and explicitly unpriced. The
first fresh Stop retains its failed 10.373s sampling gap and every
sample.

On the upgraded9af server, the historical F226 artifact was reopened and
downloaded with its exact original hash after its provider agent had
been deleted/GET404 earlier today. Historical F226 full Artifact/Stop
cleanup, Question, corrected Plan and reconnect retain their original
identities. Deleting the three newly created disposable provider agents
and the new-case post-delete grade remain blocked on explicit user
approval after automatic review rejected expanding the two original
approved IDs. No new-case cleanup or complete fresh matrix pass is
claimed; this is separate from the directly observed task/Stop behavior
and retained exact cleanup proof.

Retained failures: stale fixture 132/133; E8 48/135 with 87 reset-hook
failures; Mac 17 SQL failures/skips; earlier startup-title, title-save,
custody/Stop and deletion failures with unknown causes and bounded
recoveries. `dea023` Artifact passed 17 checks but Stop failed its false
warning and 50 duplicate log identities. Pre-repair ACK failure and
original Core CI failure remain recorded; retry alone establishes no
cause or full local-suite pass. Provider dollar cost stays UNKNOWN.

## Risks

Experimental: Cursor independently acknowledges neither the effective
model nor instruction digest before the first prompt. The caller’s
explicit values are submitted and behavior checked live. Unpriced
provider dollar cost stays UNKNOWN.

Only qualified per-turn controllers are admitted. Uncertain work and
incomplete cleanup stay fenced. Existing damaged/duplicate archives
remain failed evidence. Prefix proof adds bounded object-store I/O; the
8MiB producer bound does not guarantee future providers’ output fits.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 07721e33f7 fix(runner): distinguish new skill authoring from source imports (#18717)

> - Agents can author new skills or add existing skills from approved
sources.
> - Source import and catalog install retain the source used by update,
audit and reset flows.
> - The create_skill tool described saving complete Markdown, without
explaining this choice.
> - An agent can therefore read an existing source and create an
unrelated managed copy.

tests its actual model-facing projections.

authoring and source import.

**Current behavior**

The tool says it saves a complete single-file skill. It does not
distinguish new authored content from adding an existing skill. The
Company Skills reference already directs external sources to import and
catalog skills to install.

**Proposed behavior**

The tool explains that it saves newly authored content. It directs
existing-source work to the existing import or install APIs through
search_api and call_api. It retains the existing assignment and retry
guidance.

**Reason and benefit**

A managed copy does not retain the original source locator. Clear
guidance helps an agent choose the source-aware operation without adding
a tool or changing permissions. This is a guidance repair. It does not
claim that the import backend failed.

## What Changed

- Clarify the canonical documentation, live descriptor and scenario
descriptor for create_skill.
- Test the actual discovered contract and provider projection, including
API claim and company-boundary negatives.
- Refresh generated descriptions and the seeded catalog digest and
manifest entry.

## Verification

- A focused regression fails on the parent because the actual discovered
contract lacks the authoring versus import distinction.
- Three focused pure suites pass: 48 tests. They include existing skill
creation, retry, schema and authorization controls.
- The source-owned serializers and protocol fixture validator
regenerated the inventories without an app or native build.
- Both generated inventories change only create_skill description.
Arguments, required claims, modes, idempotency and all other tools
remain byte-equivalent.
- Current head `bca441726a6cba80e6e7da0321db59e27183c5b8` passes
required `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e`; the full main CI run has 49
successful jobs. Windows, Docker, security and review checks also pass
or are intentionally skipped. Greptile and the final Paperclip review
are 5/5, with zero unresolved threads. This PR remains deliberately
unmerged for the separately reviewed evaluation candidate.

- Original head CI preserved: one unrelated UI clipboard-confirmation
assertion failed after the clipboard call passed; 47 other executions
succeeded and the final verify check failed as its dependent. The two UI
owners are unchanged from the base. Exact React scheduler/timer timing
is unknown. No unchanged-head retry was used before the necessary master
conflict sync.
- The conflict sync preserves incoming task-assignment guidance and
regenerates metadata. It is not a fix for the UI test failure. The
synchronized current head passes CI and review. No same-head recovery
was consumed.

## Risks

The description changes model context and the catalog digest. It may
affect tool choice, but actual same-request and same-model acceptance is
still pending. The change does not alter authorization, API behavior or
grading. Local checks did not run the app, database, native runner, full
graph typecheck or build. Intermediate test-fixture claim and placement
mistakes were corrected; the final focused run passes. Do not treat
these pure controls as a feature pass.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol (`gpt-6.1-sol`) through Codex, with reasoning, source
inspection and tool execution. The host does not report a context-window
size.

DottaandPaperclip b22ef22d56 fix(runner): show provider failure details on tasks and runs (#18622)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native Runner starts providers and records their run outcomes.
> - Provider failures can contain useful details below a generic
protocol error.
> - Those details were lost at the sidecar, command receipt, and run
projection boundaries.
> - A blocked task therefore showed a generic failure even when the
provider gave a clear reason.
> - This pull request carries a bounded, sanitized provider failure
through those boundaries.
> - Operators can read the actual cause on the task and run pages.
Existing recovery policy still controls retries.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17543 for the related closed JSON-RPC classification work. Refs
#17272 for provider recovery in the legacy OpenCode adapter. This change
adds display evidence for native Runner providers and keeps recovery
policy separate.

**What happened?**

A native Claude session returned an HTTP 429 message below an ACP
`Internal error`. The task and run showed only a generic startup
failure. Operators had to inspect the provider response to learn that
the account was rate limited.

**Expected behavior**

The task and run show the sanitized provider message, provider name,
startup or turn phase, and available HTTP status. Unknown categories
keep the message. Display evidence does not grant a retry or replace a
recovery decision.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a native Claude run whose account is rate limited during model
selection, or return a structured provider failure from a Codex or
OpenCode turn.
2. Let the run fail and open its task page.
3. Before this change, the page shows a generic failure. With this
change, the page shows the provider explanation. The run page shows the
same explanation after reload.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Source checkout based on `f8a888a072`.

## What Changed

- Add one JSON Schema for `ProviderFailure` and generate matching Runner
and shared TypeScript readers. Keep the Runner package independent of
the app workspace at runtime.
- Normalize known ACPX, Codex, and OpenCode error fields. Preserve
unknown messages. Redact known credential values and credential patterns
before applying the 4,000-character limit. Do not copy response bodies,
headers, stacks, or prompts.
- Carry startup failures through the sidecar, Rust Runner, durable
command receipts, and private transport error details. Keep provider
text out of generic transport error strings and Sentry failure messages.
- Keep turn failures in authenticated run events. Recover the same
evidence from persisted events during server finalization. Store the
cause in the company-scoped run result.
- Show one shared notice on failed tasks and run details. Keep existing
retry permissions, scheduled retry state, and resolved-task behavior.
- Reapply registered run-secret and current-user redaction to task
display data. Batch secret lookups for only the visible provider causes.
- Document the contract and update the capability maps. Add regressions
for nested Claude 429 errors, OpenAI quota and rate limits, OpenCode
errors, redaction, durable receipt replay, restart finalization, and UI
rendering.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed. `pnpm build` passed. All GitHub Actions
build, test, package, and validation jobs passed on `d49c79ab4a`. The
security checks passed. Greptile gave this head 5/5 with no open review
threads. Paperclip Review remains pending. Its review worker exhausted
six workspace recovery attempts with export_interrupted. A fresh review
request was accepted and is waiting for that saved workspace. The
ordinary Retry action rejected reuse of the stopped request. This is an
external review-worker blocker; no check was overridden. The duplicate
local `pnpm test:run` was stopped after the CI test shards passed.
- Focused server settlement, provider evidence, and restart tests: 93
passed. Runner admission and normalization tests: 103 passed. Focused
Runner wire and terminal tests: 29 passed. The real Rust/sidecar command
receipt replay test passed.
- The new projection test failed before implementation because the task
had no provider cause. The startup producer regression also failed
before extraction moved ahead of the generic error-code replacement.
Both pass with this change.
- Live check: a rebuilt local sidecar received an actual Claude HTTP 429
during startup. The new cause kept the full provider message. A
synthetic task in an isolated local app then reached the same provider
error through the native Runner path. The dedicated run result, task
API, task banner, and run detail all showed the same message after
reload. The later reporting fix keeps run.error generic; a regression
proves the display cause still survives restart and stays out of Sentry
capture.
- The first isolated app attempt failed earlier in
`admission_credential`. An ordinary manual Retry reached the provider
and produced the 429 above. This PR does not claim to fix that separate
admission failure. An initial parallel local database test setup also
failed; the serial restart suite passed.
- Security review found that copying display text into run.error could
forward it to Sentry. A regression failed with that behavior. The fix
keeps the cause in its display field. All 38 settlement/restart tests
and the server typecheck pass.
- All 29 protocol contract tests pass, including bounds and extra-field
rejection. An earlier full Rust core run passed. The later full run hit
one 5-second receipt-limit timing assertion; its isolated rerun passed.
The full Linux and Windows Rust CI jobs passed on this head.
- Review regressions pass for explicit Codex driver identity, native
Rust startup and resume receipt propagation, oversized OpenCode/ACPX
errors, task read-time registered-secret redaction, and the standalone
source closure. The focused Runner run passed 103 tests;
projection/restart tests passed 16.
- Read-time redaction edge cases passed: a missing decryption key omits
only the unsafe optional explanation; expanded redacted messages remain
visible within the Unicode character limit. All 14 task projection tests
and server typecheck pass.
- The package Build check found an old Pi assertion against
Error.message. The probe now checks the exact closed classification in
the authenticated receipt and requires the new provider cause. Both
polling transport cases pass. A local credential-free Pi probe stopped
at admission_installation because this checkout lacks the Pi
distribution; the installed Linux package probe passed in CI on this
head.
- UI coverage includes startup and turn text, unknown categories,
literal rendering of provider text, read-only retry behavior, and
resolved-task suppression. Token gates and map checks passed.
- The live check covers Claude startup on macOS. Codex, OpenCode,
terminal failures, and restart paths have deterministic regression
coverage. The change is not deployed.

## Risks

- Provider messages are untrusted text. The boundary selects specific
fields, redacts credential patterns and known environment secret values,
bounds the message, and renders plain text. New provider-specific secret
formats may need added redaction patterns.
- Optional fields preserve compatibility with older producers and stored
runs. Old runs without the field keep their current fallback text. No
database migration is required.
- The cause stays in company-scoped run data. This change does not send
provider text to first-party Telemetry or add it to OpenTelemetry span
attributes.
- Normalized categories and retryability are display evidence. Existing
recovery classifiers, retry limits, ownership checks, and approval gates
keep their authority.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and browser verification. The host does not expose the exact
serving variant or context window size.

DottaandPaperclip 1bc3ed6dd5 fix(opencode): keep native tool calls pending until Runner settlement (#18711)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native OpenCode sends semantic tool calls through the durable Runner
protocol.
> - The Runner retains a call until its result is known.
> - OpenCode and its HTTP bridge each stopped waiting after 30 seconds.
> - A slow response could leave a call pending after the provider had
moved on.
> - A later run then failed the pending-call guard during attachment.
> - This pull request keeps native calls under their Runner owner until
settlement or cancellation.
> - The benefit is one delivered result and a safe next run.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #18343 applies the durable wait policy to native ACPX calls.
This change applies that policy to native OpenCode.

**What happened?**

An assigned tool call took more than 30 seconds. OpenCode reported an
MCP timeout while the Runner still retained the request. The source turn
could finish, but suspension failed. A later `run.attach` failed because
provider tool calls were still pending.

**Expected behavior**

The native proxy must wait for the authoritative result under the Runner
owner. Stop, bridge close, and lease expiry must still end the wait.
Unknown effects must still block attachment.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a native OpenCode run with an assigned semantic tool.
2. Hold the controller's result for 31 seconds.
3. Observe the provider's MCP result and attach a later run to the
session.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced against `6d72243d8af0362d73fbcb5331fd42a384800d4e`. The
branch is based on `36df8933f0`.

## What Changed

- The native OpenCode proxy enables a driver capability for durable tool
requests.
- That capability removes the bridge's separate request timer and sets
OpenCode's fixed MCP client ceiling to one hour, consistent with the
native ACPX sidecar.
- Ordinary driver calls keep their 30-second deadline. Assigned external
MCP connections keep their existing budget.
- Cancellation, result replay, tool authorization, and the pending-call
attachment guard keep their existing contracts.
- The native regression holds a result for 31 seconds, then completes a
second run with the same Runner process and no pending provider calls.
- The deterministic provider fixture honors the emitted MCP budget and
retains the initial completion contract across ordinary follow-ups.
- Execution semantics and the session verification maps describe the
wait and its safety checks.

## Verification

- Red before production edits: the bridge aborted a durable request at
the ordinary 30-second boundary. The driver emitted `30000` instead of
the expected `3600000` client budget.
- The final combined bridge, driver, proxy, and native protocol run
passed: 95 tests in five files (71.17 seconds).
- The native delayed-result probe passed with the current Rust Runner
and current bundled proxy. It completed the later run with the same
Runner PID and an empty pending-call ledger.
- Actual provider check passed on macOS arm64 with
`opencode-ai@1.18.34`, the changed source, and a local deterministic
OpenAI-compatible model. One assigned write waited 31 seconds and saved
one file. Both turns completed. The second turn retained the saved tool
receipt. The write ran once across five model requests.
- Bridge safety cases cover result replay without another action,
ordinary timeout behavior, MCP cancellation, and teardown of an
unanswered durable request.
- Both runner TypeScript projects passed typecheck. The first attempt
lacked the eval-kernel build; it passed after building that declared
dependency.
- Map alignment, module boundaries, and `git diff --check` passed.
- The first native follow-up probe failed because its synthetic provider
forgot the initial completion-contract revision. This caused a repair
turn and another discovery call. The fixture now retains the contract,
and the same probe passed. The failure is retained here.
- Runtime acceptance used the implementation at `583d316ad4`. The later
clarification commit changes comments, documentation, and a test name
only. It does not change runtime behavior.
- Full current-head CI passes, including typecheck, build, general and
serialized tests, Rust/Runner checks, all eight E2E shards, and the `ci
/ e2e` and `ci / verify` aggregate gates. Greptile is 5/5 on this
commit, with no unresolved review threads. No deployment or retry of the
affected historical task was performed. The actual provider check used a
local model; it does not qualify a deployed Linux sandbox or a live
model service.

## Risks

- A native call can wait longer while its Runner owner remains valid.
Stop, teardown, and lease expiry still end the wait. The MCP client has
a separate fixed one-hour ceiling. Runner ownership can renew beyond
that ceiling. If the client deadline expires first, the operation
outcome remains unknown and the existing hold must still block replay
and run attachment.
- This prevents new premature timeouts. It does not classify or replay
an old request whose effect remains unknown.
- No schema, migration, credential, or permission change is required.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The harness does not expose the exact
model ID or context window. Capabilities used: code generation,
tool-assisted diagnosis, local execution, and test analysis.

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 32f93cf9dd fix(runner): set Runner OOM protection at launch (#18730)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The native Runner supervises the harness and tool processes for each
run
> - A launcher can start Runner with a negative `oom_score_adj`, and
Linux children inherit that value
> - Then a large tool process has the same protection as Runner
> - If that protection is -1000, the kernel cannot kill the process, and
a VM with no other candidate panics
> - The correct protection for Runner is different in each environment,
so one static value is not correct
> - This pull request adds an optional `--oom-score-adj` launch flag.
With the flag, Runner also sets supervised processes to 0 when Runner
has a negative score
> - The benefit is that the launcher controls Runner protection, and the
kernel can kill the large process and let Runner report the failure

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #14509 and #16844. These pull requests change scores for the
server and for sandbox tool commands. This pull request changes the
native Runner.

**What happened?**

A native Runner on a VM inherited `oom_score_adj` -1000 from the VM init
process. A typecheck under Runner used most of the VM memory. The kernel
could not select any process and panicked with "System is deadlocked on
memory". The VM restarted, and the run failed with a transport error.

**Expected behavior**

The kernel can kill the large tool process. Runner continues and reports
the result.

**Steps to reproduce**

Start Runner with a negative score. Start a supervised process. Read
`/proc/<pid>/oom_score_adj` for the supervised process. The value is the
same as the Runner value. After this change, the value is 0 when the
launcher gives the flag.

**Deployment mode**

Native Runner on Linux, when the launcher gives Runner a negative score.

## What Changed

- Add the optional `--oom-score-adj <-1000..=1000>` flag to
`paperclip-runnerd`. Runner has no default value.
- Stop Runner startup when the value is not valid. When the kernel
refuses a valid value, or the platform is not Linux, write a diagnostic
and continue, because Runner is then only less protected than the
launcher asked for.
- When the launcher gives the flag and the Runner score is negative, set
each supervised process and verified stdio MCP server to 0 after spawn.
- Without the flag, Runner does not change any score. Children inherit
the Runner score, as they do now.
- Add unit and integration tests.

## Verification

Tests ran in `rust:1-bookworm` (rustc 1.99.1) on Linux arm64 with
`CAP_SYS_RESOURCE`:

- `cargo fmt --check -p paperclip-runner-core`
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --no-fail-fast`, before the flag
gate commit: all targets pass except `codex_provider` and `stdio_mcp`.
- `provider_receives_the_isolated_codex_auth_home` and its subprocess
helper fail in this container. They fail in the same way on clean
`master`.
-
`receipt_limit_polls_an_authoritative_terminal_with_unacknowledged_events`
and `cancellation_waiting_behind_output_is_handled_before_new_dispatch`
failed once in the full run. They pass when they run alone, on this
branch and on clean `master`. I think that they are sensitive to load,
but I did not prove this. CI is the check for these tests.
- `--test oom_score` and `--test oom_score_without_flag` pass with and
without `CAP_SYS_RESOURCE`. It covers the real Runner binary, flags that
are not valid, a Runner that cannot apply a negative score, and a
supervised child of a Runner with a negative score. The tests for
children of a Runner with a negative score skip themselves without
`CAP_SYS_RESOURCE`. The unit test covers the same reset logic without
that capability.

I also ran the debug Runner binary through the agent computer `enter`
command in a container, as UID 1000, with a floor of -500:

- Runner stayed alive at -500.
- The `oom_score` integration test passed in the same setup. Its
supervised child had the score 0.

After the flag gate commit, I ran the library `oom_score` tests, `--test
oom_score`, `--test oom_score_without_flag`, and `--test
process_supervisor` again. CI runs the complete suite.

I did not run this on a real VM.

## Risks

- A fork in the short time after exec and before the write keeps the
Runner score. The kernel can still kill that process unless the score is
-1000.
- The write to the child can fail. Runner ignores this failure, because
the child has no more protection than Runner.
- A launcher without the necessary privilege gets a Runner at the
inherited score. Runner writes a diagnostic to standard error, and the
run continues. A launcher that discards standard error does not see the
diagnostic.
- A launcher that does not give the flag has no change, also when Runner
starts with a negative score. On Linux, each spawn has one more atomic
read and no system call. A `oom_score_without_flag` test binary checks
this.
- A new Runner under a launcher that does not give the flag and gives
Runner -1000 keeps its children at -1000. Update that launcher to give
the flag.

## Model Used

- Anthropic Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) in Claude Code, with
tool use and code execution.

DottaandPaperclip 09162fe893 refactor(runner): clarify native task assignment guidance (#18704)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people assign work to AI agents.
> - Native task creation can start the assigned agent as soon as the
task is ready.
> - The default assignee is the agent that creates the task.
> - An agent can omit the requested teammate, create work for itself,
and reassign it too late.
> - The server already supports setting the requested agent and project
during creation.
> - This pull request makes those fields and the early-start risk clear
in both tool catalogs and the delegated-task example.
> - The benefit is clearer guidance for the existing delegation
contract.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #13281.

**What happened?**

An observed delegation attempt called `create_task` with only a title
and retry key. The task used the documented current-agent default and
started work before a later reassignment. The server honored its
contract. The original failed QA result remains failed.

**Expected behavior**

When a user names an existing teammate and project, the agent should put
their exact IDs in `assigneeActorId` and `projectId` during task
creation. The requested worker can then start with the correct task
ownership and project.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Ask an agent to create work for a named existing teammate in a named
project.
2. Create a ready task with only its title and retry key.
3. Observe that the creating agent is assigned and can start before a
later reassignment.

This is a guidance mitigation for agent tool misuse. It does not change
the default or enforce model compliance. A fresh deployed qualification
is still required.

## What Changed

- Explain initial teammate and project selection in the canonical
`create_task` description and its two field descriptions.
- Add a representative delegated-task call with an explicit agent,
project, and saved plan.
- Synchronize the same three descriptions in the sibling semantic-action
catalog. Keep its schema constraints intact.
- Keep the global execution prompt byte-for-byte equal to the base.
Revision `paperclip-execution.v8` already directs the agent to create
delegated work with the teammate ID.
- Refresh the generated catalogs, seeded catalog identity, and protocol
manifest.
- Make the collaboration contract test use the declared scenario
example, as the general contract test already does. Retain separate
live-example validation and strict scenario input checks.

## Verification

- All 79 existing native controls passed across `chat-project-tools`,
`paperclip-runner-tool-authority`, `task-creation-backlog`, and
`tool-receipt-recovery`. These cover alternate-agent readback,
current-agent defaults, backlog holds, company boundaries, and dispatch
recovery after commit.
- All 108 protocol-action, semantic-catalog, catalog-doc,
runtime-context, and collaboration checks passed. All 11 contract
fingerprint checks passed.
- The original CI collaboration-test failure reproduced locally before
correction: the test sent live-only fields to the older scenario schema.
After selecting the declared scenario example, all 13 collaboration
cases passed. Malformed titles, undeclared project fields, and arbitrary
unknown fields still reject. No schema or live example was changed for
this correction.
- Generator checks passed for semantic contracts, the semantic-action
catalog, operation groups, and protocol coverage.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, `node scripts/check-maps.mjs`, and
`git diff --check` passed.
- A structural comparison confirms that types, required fields, lengths,
modes, permissions, outputs, and defaults are unchanged on both catalog
surfaces.
- No new text-matching tests were added. These local checks passed again
after the global prompt was restored. Fresh exact-head Greptile and
Paperclip reviews are both 5/5 with no actionable findings.

completed successfully on `2e5f93e122191e17b316a7780a74ff404fc468f3`
(attempt 2), with all 49 workflow jobs successful.
- Current-head CI first failed only the unchanged native-process
retention case at its original five-second limit. The shard passed 2,130
other tests and skipped eight. One unchanged local Node 24 control
passed. The original test and retention dependency blobs match the base.
The exact timeout cause remains unknown. No source, assertion, or time
limit changed. One authorized recheck of only that runner shard and its
normal final gate passed. The recheck passed 2,131 tests and skipped
eight. The other 47 successful job results were carried forward with
their original start and finish times.
- The prior head `42207172dd4bc376dab880dbccb2c698acccf6c4` passed all
49 CI jobs and fresh 5/5 reviews. Its first CI attempt lost one server
runner to a reported shutdown. One authorized retry of only that lost
shard and its normal gate passed with unchanged assertions and time
limits. The original failure and recovery remain recorded.
- A normal merge of that prior head was rejected by the base policy
because the global prompt required a code-owner review. This revision
drops that optional global change. No policy override or bypass was
used.
- The new catalogs have semantic catalog digest
`sha256:5af904b7fc088509b98dde41611c042ff3c22c881e252190817978de0d1b733a`.
The authorized `create_task` operation digest is
`sha256:f5dad10c7969680d91514603966705ac09ceaa3f2cff21fd6c199e2de0d7a63d`.
- A new run can report admitted prompt revision v8 and its digest. The
ordinary run-profile tool fingerprint does not hash these descriptions.
Source/Core and matching provider-pack identity prove deployed code, not
model delivery or compliance. A fresh campaign with new agents is still
required.
- No model run or deployed acceptance was performed for this source
change. The original failed qualification remains failed. This
tool-guidance change is a mitigation hypothesis.

## Risks

The longer tool descriptions change the catalog identity. A model can
still omit a requested field. The global prompt remains v8. Existing
assignment, authorization, wake, replay, and session behavior stays
intact. A new campaign is required because a stored provider session can
retain old tool declarations. A native-process retention test has a
recurring five-second timeout on unchanged code. One unchanged local
Node 24 control passed. This does not prove CI reliability or explain
the timeout. No timeout or assertion was changed.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 16643a6e03 fix(runner): recover pending Stop cleanup after controller restart (#18682)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The server owns execution, Stop delivery, and usage settlement.
> - A Stop can remain pending when the controller restarts.
> - Recovery must reach the existing session without starting more paid
work.
> - Startup and budget fences currently block that cleanup, and
interrupted runs leave the restart selection.
> - This pull request gives exact audited Stop cleanup a shared
authority check and records its real acknowledgement.
> - The benefit is safe cleanup while usage debt remains honest.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A pending native run-only Stop can retain an unfinished execution owner
after controller loss. Its startup cancellation fence prevents recovery
admission. If teardown marks the run interrupted and clears its task
lock, restart selection also omits it. A recovered session can receive
cancellation without the durable acknowledgement that the normal Stop
request would save.

**Expected behavior**

Recover only the existing remote session for the audited pending Stop.
Keep fresh provider work blocked, including during budget pause. Keep
incomplete usage pending until a real complete receipt arrives.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a native run with a held reservation and an authenticated
remote checkpoint.
2. Persist a run-only Stop and its startup and execution cancellation
fences before acknowledgement.
3. Lose the controller. Leave the coordinator unfinished, mark the run
interrupted, and clear its task lock.
4. Attempt restart recovery and observe the missing claim or
cancellation admission rejection.

Related work: #14733 binds caller Stop requests. #18658 handles plugin
startup cleanup obligations. #18035 proposes broader accounting changes.
This change repairs existing-session Stop recovery and preserves current
accounting guards.

## What Changed

- Add one shared check for the exact run, company, issue, pending Stop,
intent audit, live recovery lease, generation, and remote reattachment
disposition.
- Include eligible interrupted Stop owners in restart selection. Keep
generic interruptions and another task execution owner fenced.
- Reuse only the original held reservation for cleanup. Keep budget
pause effective for fresh, bootstrap, dead-runner, and unproven recovery
work.
- Apply the same cleanup authority at heartbeat runtime selection and
native entry. Skip attachment staging and warm-owner retirement only for
that exact cleanup. Revalidate at session publication and fail closed if
the proof changed.
- Send the existing Stop through the audited cancellation producer
before turn submission. Close the coordinator only after
acknowledgement, including system-owned run-only Stops.
- Give verified cleanup a transport purpose that retains pending
semantic inputs without replay, dispatch, or a semantic reply. Add an
explicit Core retain-only intake mode; preserve authenticated identity,
schema, digest, sequence and replay checks. Ordinary execution still
requires its dispatcher.
- Add PostgreSQL, native protocol, and startup-fence regressions. Update
the execution contract and recovery maps.

## Verification

- The combined Stop regression fails on unchanged production at the
cancellation reservation guard. Interrupted restart selection also fails
before the repair while its running sibling passes.
- An assembled `heartbeatService.recoverNativeRunsAfterRestart`
regression exposes the earlier runtime-selection fence with the rest of
the repair present. The fixed path reaches selector/claim, runtime
selection, original held-budget reuse during pause, dispatch, real
native protocol, audited cancellation, and heartbeat settlement. It
starts no provider turn, acquires no new sandbox, and does not reclaim
the task lock.
- Fail-if-called attachment staging and turn boundaries remain
untouched. A retained warm-owner regression prevents retirement.
Invalidation at session publication fails closed. Actual backend/driver
constructor tests verify cleanup-purpose forwarding, absent default
options, and denial under foreign ownership.
- Missing usage retains accounting debt and the hold. A later complete
receipt records one 25-cent charge and settles that same hold.
Concurrent duplicate cleanup is denied. Both user-owned and system-owned
Stops pass.
- Real transport tests: 9 pass on Node 24.22.1. They preserve ordinary
saved-tool and completion recovery, prove the authority-denial race
before cancellation, and qualify cleanup with pending
ordinary/completion inputs and either handler ordering.
- Real authenticated Core intake: 11 pass. Callback-present and
callback-absent retain-only cases persist and acknowledge unanswered
input without dispatch, recovery or result. Default missing-dispatcher
rejection and digest-integrity/suspension guards remain effective.
Omitting the callback alone first failed by disconnecting; the explicit
retain-only mode fixes that defect.
- Repository `pnpm -r typecheck`, the server/runner-vendor build, map
checks, and module boundary checks passed locally before integrating the
latest retained-startup change. That integration passes 11 native
startup/cleanup compatibility cases and 3 assembled recovery/accounting
cases. The final broad affected-suite attempt was stopped without a
verdict; it is incomplete. Full repository tests and build are delegated
to current-head GitHub CI.
- Review exposed an additional real-process close failure with
unanswered input. The corrected path requires a fresh exact
provider-stop receipt confirming exit, followed by durable event drain
and exact runner suspension. All 11 focused transport cases pass,
including missing/false exit-proof negatives and ordinary recovery
siblings. Runner TypeScript and map validation pass after this
correction.
- The assembled test controls provider, workspace-transfer and GitHub
bootstrap I/O. It does not qualify hosted credentials, physical provider
termination, workspace preservation, or historical receipt recovery.
Local socket-permission setup failures are separate from semantic
regression results. No hosted replay has run on this repair.

- CI exposed an ordinary factory-call compatibility regression and an
obsolete authority-read test fixture. The repair preserves
single-argument ordinary calls and updates the race fixture without
changing its Stop assertions. The complete native executor suite now
passes all 1,049 tests; the ordinary factory boundary and all five
Stop-accounting cases pass. A separate local environment-default case
twice exceeded its five-second wait while other work ran; its prior-head
CI case passed. The same unchanged case passed an isolated diagnostic
without changing its assertion or timeout; the precise contention source
remains unproven.

- The final fixture edit initially used the wrong overloaded promise
type. CI rejected it; the annotation-only correction passes the exact
`pnpm run typecheck:build-gaps` entry point locally, including server
service tests and remaining workspaces. No runtime assertion changed.

- Final exact head `007fd4d04a2d6338c6dc073e97ab470a277fc3d0`: required
`ci / verify` and `ci / e2e`, build, typecheck and test groups pass.
Greptile is 5/5 with both findings resolved. Three expected checks are
skipped; the optional native check is neutral, while its final
current-head comment gives 5/5 from source inspection without a checkout
or test execution. The first server-shard attempt lost its self-hosted
runner connection; one scoped rerun passed. Its original annotation and
unavailable-log evidence are retained.

## Risks

- This changes execution authority. Cleanup requires an audited, exactly
bound pending Stop, an unfinished coordinator, a live remote
reattachment claim, and the original held reservation. It never
authorizes a replacement provider turn.
- Missing checkpoint, original held reservation, termination, or usage
evidence can keep cleanup or accounting pending. The repair does not
manufacture acknowledgement, replies, receipts, or zero cost.
- Retain-only intake is an internal trusted constructor option. It
changes no agent tool permission. Ordinary callback requirements and
semantic dispatch remain unchanged.
- No schema, public API, provider profile, or deployment setting changes
are required.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, `gpt-6.1-sol`, Extra High reasoning, with source
inspection, code execution, and regression testing. The context-window
capacity is not exposed in this session.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip f8a888a072 feat(runner): define bounded startup lifetime contracts (#18490)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Native sessions and plugin workers have separate startup lifetimes.
> - A caller timeout does not prove that a worker or an accepted host
write has stopped.
> - Shared startup code needs an exact deadline and an actual settlement
contract.
> - This PR adds those contracts and tests them before any production
caller uses them.
> - The dependent integration in #18405 will use the contracts with
verified cleanup.
> - This split lets reviewers assess the lifetime rules separately from
runtime activation.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18405. This PR extracts the foundation from that change. The
integration will depend on this PR.

**Problem or motivation**

A bounded startup must distinguish the caller's wait from actual worker
completion. A late worker reply or an accepted host request can outlive
the original RPC promise. A shorter timeout must not discard that
responsibility or authorize a replacement run.

**Proposed solution**

Add one Core execution context, optional Runner startup deadlines, and
worker settlement and retirement APIs. Test the contracts with real
child-process IPC. Keep production context creation, transport
projection, capability negotiation, durable cleanup, and Stop/recovery
integration in #18405.

**Alternatives considered**

One combined PR mixed the lifetime contract with its activation and
cleanup policy. Activating a shorter deadline before the complete
transport and cleanup path is unsafe. Splitting only the SDK
declarations would not provide a useful behavioral review boundary.

**Roadmap alignment**

This supports the existing plugin, sandbox execution, and bounded
recovery capabilities. It adds no new product workflow, endpoint,
migration, provider or runtime dependency.

## What Changed

- Add `NativeExecutionContext`. It retains the selected input, binds one
transport target, rejects work after cancellation or expiry, and tracks
actual worker settlement. Expiry alone does not complete pending work.
- Add worker startup groups. A caller timeout retains the group's
responsibility. Retirement revokes obsolete invocation scopes, waits for
accepted host handlers, and retires only the verified group's
bookkeeping. Each cleanup wait is bounded; an unfinished handler remains
pending for a later retry.
- Add an optional Runner startup signal and absolute deadline for
session open and retained attachment. Clean up abort listeners after
synchronous failures. Existing callers keep their default timeout path.
- Expose the remaining confirmed controller-lease budget without a new
query or renewal timer.
- Add optional SDK context and preparation-retirement fields. No
production bridge sends or advertises them in this slice.
- Keep the required lease mock update with the new `remainingMs()`
contract so this foundation typechecks independently.

Production activation files, including the native executor and
environment task bridge, match the current master base. No production
caller constructs `NativeExecutionContext` or passes the new Runner
startup option. This PR adds no durable cleanup producer and claims **no
standalone TTFT improvement**. The dependent integration must enable the
context, transport and verified cleanup together.

## Verification

Initial split verification on
`8ebc8a2f9c6c02e90f920356138b3742a4067b28`, based on
`9a3f395737e7a92faf99971459979061d423531a`:

- From `server`: `../node_modules/.bin/vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-execution-context.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-execution-context-worker.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-execution-lease.test.ts` — **17
passed**. Includes real child IPC, caller timeout with late reply,
worker death, accepted host-handler draining, obsolete cleanup
invocation rejection, unrelated work preservation, context scope,
expiry, and confirmed lease budget.
- From `packages/paperclip-runner`: `../../node_modules/.bin/vitest run
src/native-session-runtime.test.ts` — **188 passed**. Includes existing
callers without the new option and new
synchronous-failure/expired-deadline cases for fresh and retained
sessions.
- Direct TypeScript checks for `packages/plugins/sdk/tsconfig.json` and
`packages/paperclip-runner/tsconfig.json` — passed. Built only their
shared/eval TypeScript prerequisites.
- From `server`: `../node_modules/.bin/tsc --noEmit` — passed.
- Checked the partition against the reviewed combined candidate. The
twelve selected files match exactly. The thirteenth file carries only
the required test-mock update. The production executor, bridge and
target wiring remain equal to the base.
- `git diff --check`, added-line secret/private-data scan, and
added-code-comment scan — passed. No generated files or run artifacts
are committed.
- The first old-base split passed its focused tests but failed server
typechecking because the unchanged executor test mock lacked
`remainingMs()`. The original failure is retained. Moving that one-line
mock update into this foundation resolved the split dependency; the
final current-master checks above pass.
- Full local CI suites, Rust builds, deployments and provider calls were
not run, as requested. GitHub CI will provide full regression coverage.
Current-head GitHub CI, standard review and Apex are complete; exact
acceptance is recorded below.

Review follow-up `d7635f4d280dab757a3666703737bcda955c9361` fixes three
reproduced lifetime edge cases. A retiring startup group rejects new
calls and shares one retirement promise; failed bounded retirement
remains retryable. Transport identity uses a fixed field tuple rather
than object-property order. Finishing a context rejects pending lookup
waits without aborting an already-started backend or pretending the
worker completed. All three new regressions failed before the fix; the
updated foundation selection passes **20 tests**, including actual IPC
and failed-retirement retry. Server typechecking and added-line checks
pass. These replace the earlier 17-case selection, rather than adding 20
unique cases to it. The original failures and passing reruns are
retained.

Apex follow-up `cb8860bab5ab9d6357a352e11f276be0d0cdb26d` keeps removed
worker handles reachable while they own startup calls, accepted host
handlers or retirement work. Drain/retirement includes active and
retained handles; completion callbacks remove settled handles. Stop and
replacement remove only the exact handle they observed. This adds no
database/network operation, polling loop or generic shutdown wait. The
SDK, Runner, context and transport bridge are unchanged.

Seven additional IPC regressions failed on the prior manager and pass
after the fix, covering removal/replacement, Stop-all, host-handler
settlement, bounded retirement failure/retry, pruning, and replacement
ownership. The updated foundation selection passes **27 tests**, with
server typechecking passing; these supersede the earlier 20-case
selection. A separate real-PostgreSQL/child-IPC characterization uses
the integration's actual SDK host, storage registry and run-control path
with the exact corrected manager bytes. Before the fix, cleanup released
run ownership while an accepted host write was blocked, then the late
write restored obsolete metadata. After the fix, ownership and cleanup
remain pending until the write completes; cleanup then removes the stale
metadata before releasing ownership. The original failure, corrected
result and source snapshots are preserved. Final head
`cb8860bab5ab9d6357a352e11f276be0d0cdb26d` passes GitHub CI (53
successful checks, 2 expected skips, Snyk success), standard Greptile
**5/5** and fresh Apex **5/5**. All review threads are resolved and the
PR is conflict-free.

## Risks

The shared Runner helper now observes synchronous operation failures
through its asynchronous cleanup path. The affected runtime file's 188
tests pass, but full regression coverage still depends on CI.

The new lifetime APIs require honest settlement signals. A future caller
must not treat a deadline, worker crash or Stop intent as verified
retirement. Production activation remains dependent on the complete
integration and its cleanup tests in #18405. This foundation introduces
no shorter production startup budget or new cleanup policy by itself.

The context's transport projection is process-local. It must not be
persisted or used as a general authorization cache. No production caller
supplies it in this PR. There is no database migration, new dependency,
or deployment requirement for merging this foundation.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, assisted with repository inspection, the
split, tests and command execution. The exact serving model ID and
context-window size were not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip baa4a2e64e fix(runner): restore Codex auth before source recovery (#18612)
Restore disposable Codex authentication and safe provider configuration before cold source recovery. Preserve source receipts and conversation state until reconciliation, and rebuild assigned tools from the admitted launch binding.

Validate remote launch destinations, clear stale authentication when no selected credential exists, and atomically publish SSH file transfers without following retained links. Red/green recovery regressions, a real two-turn Codex/MCP probe, and all current PR checks pass.

DottaandPaperclip 42c64d4ec4 fix(runner): preserve deliberate OpenCode approval waits (#18610)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip coordinates agent work and human approval.
> - A saved Plan must wait for the user before work continues.
> - The native runner interrupts the provider after it saves that wait.
> - OpenCode can report the interruption with an idle event and no final
answer.
> - Empty-answer recovery treated that intentional pause as an
incomplete answer.
> - This change stops answer recovery for an interrupted turn.
> - The runner still requires a real provider terminal before it settles
the wait.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

OpenCode could send a corrective model request after Paperclip
interrupted a turn for a saved approval request. The native runner then
failed with `governed_wait_provider_terminal_unproven` because it did
not receive the required terminal event within the existing drain
window.

**Expected behavior**

An interrupted turn must stop requesting answers. A provider idle or
cancelled event must remain available to the native wait settlement. An
HTTP abort acknowledgement alone must not count as a terminal.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start an OpenCode turn that has no final answer.
2. Interrupt that turn after saving a durable approval request.
3. Have the provider return `session.idle` or an idle `session.status`.
4. Observe that the old driver sends a second prompt instead of emitting
the terminal event.

The controlled regression fails before the fix for both idle event
forms: it observes two prompts instead of one. The affected driver blob
is identical in the deployed source and the current base. Related:
#18364 added the empty-answer recovery path.

## What Changed

- Record interruption intent for the active OpenCode turn before
asynchronous settlement.
- Cancel its answer-recovery timer and prevent corrective requests for
that turn.
- Preserve provider terminal checks and avoid a delayed abort of a later
turn.
- Cover both idle event forms, an existing correction, durable question
handoff, in-flight tools, missing terminal evidence, and a later
authorized turn.
- Document the interruption contract.

## Verification

- The new regression failed before the fix for the expected extra
prompt. A second red test confirmed the sibling durable-question handoff
also sent that unwanted prompt.
- Interrupted idle events now produce explicit cancellation terminals.
Tests reject a failed terminal and require normal completion on the
later authorized turn.
- All 305 targeted tests passed across the OpenCode driver, normal
empty-answer recovery, interruption, backend publication, and native
session runtime suites.
- Runner TypeScript check passed: `tsc -p
packages/paperclip-runner/tsconfig.json --noEmit`.
- `git diff --check` passed.
- Greptile reviewed the current commit at 5/5 with no findings. Both
earlier Paperclip review findings are fixed and their threads are
resolved.
- The additional Paperclip advisory reviewer could not assess the final
commit because its earlier workspace save did not finish. Its check is
neutral; this is not a passing assessment. No reviewer configuration or
workspace safety gate was changed.
- Repository CI passed on run 41470761437, attempt 2. Attempt 1 retained
a 15-second timeout in an unchanged voice-report test; only the failed
jobs were retried once, on the same commit. The identical test also
passed in an isolated baseline check against disposable PostgreSQL with
its original timeout.
- Live QA acceptance is pending. No eval prompt, model, allowance,
timeout, or assertion changed.

## Risks

The change affects OpenCode interruption and answer recovery. A silent
provider must remain unproven; the negative control checks that case.
Ordinary answer recovery remains enabled on authorized turns. No schema,
permission, or provider configuration changes are required.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 7751fc3107 fix(server): complete volume-free controller admission and recovery (#18543)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Its volume-free web server must admit remote warm execution without
depending on a local disk.
> - Fresh run rows retain the initial legacy label during workspace
preparation.
> - The native runtime selector commits the execution mode later.
> - The earlier guard rejected valid remote runs before that selection.
> - This PR checks storage during preparation and the resolved lifecycle
during runtime selection.
> - Agent-file recovery also has to reconstruct disposable cache paths
from the retained remote directory.
> - The deployment test removes the complete predecessor home, including
immutable caches, to enforce that contract.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18518, #18529, #18533.

**What happened?**

A real Codex/Daytona deployment test failed during setup because the
volume-free workspace guard checked the initial run label. After fixing
admission, controller retirement first failed on an immutable skill
cache. Removing that cache exposed a production recovery failure: B
rejected the saved agent-directory path from A, even though the remote
execution identity was unchanged. The next live attempt recovered that
directory and transferred the same runner, but adoption then tried to
recreate provider launch assets from the deleted controller home.

**Expected behavior**

Allow remote workspace preparation before native selection. Reject
actual legacy and per-turn execution at the runtime boundary. Delete the
entire stopped predecessor home, including immutable caches, without
following links to shared dependencies. B must reconstruct its local
agent-file projection from the exact registered remote lease while
preserving the save baseline and unsaved remote edits. Reattaching an
already-running provider must not prepare a new launch or require the
old launch files. The full backend must recover the admitted
instructions from the matching durable run checkpoint.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the explicit
`rolling-web-deployment.runner-codex.daytona.recover-controller` Product
E2E cell with a complete server/UI build, disposable PostgreSQL/S3, and
an owned Daytona fixture. The new boundary regressions also reproduce
the premature guard and missing runtime rejection without a model call.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The failures were observed on
`247552fe0719dcc92f7b42c50b658be6f624986d`. This branch is based on
`e122478368`.

## What Changed

- Validate Runner and remote workspace authority before runtime
selection without trusting the initial run label.
- Reject resolved legacy execution and local-source fallback, preserving
the native warm-policy check before admission.
- Rebind remote agent-file caches on ephemeral controllers and retrieve
their validated contents without uploading over the retained execution.
Preserve pending saves when the remote collector is unavailable.
- Restore over-quota remote directories without applying save quotas to
run admission; ordinary saves still enforce quotas.
- Skip provider launch asset materialization when adopting an existing
Runner. A real-process regression deletes the old skill/instruction
sources before reattachment.
- Recover admitted system instructions through Runner-owned checkpoint
validation for the same run, session and context digest. Fresh launches
still compose current instructions.
- Make the attention-retention test advance past its database-assigned
deadline, fixing a clean-master clock mismatch.
- Serialize remote collection and cleanup across controllers with an
operation-scoped Postgres advisory lock; fence stale cache-path updates.
- Keep synthetic deployment probe tasks in a separate disposable company
so they cannot block the business completion oracle.
- Share the launcher's directory cleanup with rolling retirement. Reject
a symlink root and skip linked descendants.
- Test admission with real PostgreSQL transactions and cleanup with real
read-only directories and external symlinks.
- Update developer documentation and the canonical qualification record.
Broader deployment acceptance remains in progress.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed.
- All 156 workspace preparation, runtime selection and ephemeral
contract tests passed. Two new regressions failed before the source fix.
- Seven focused Product E2E cleanup/replacement tests and `pnpm
test:e2e:runner:typecheck` passed.
- `pnpm test:run` stopped at an unrelated 15-second chat integration
timeout after 338 passes. That exact test passed in isolation without
increasing its timeout. The later full-suite shards did not run.
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:unit` reported 5,898 passes and 13 failures.
Clean master reproduced 11 failures in unchanged onboarding
expectations, operating receipts, Pi catalog assertions, workflow
bootstrap counts and embedded PostgreSQL startup. The other two workflow
assertions were fixed by the intervening master commit. These failures
are retained, not counted as passes.
- All 122 workspace-preparation tests pass after the reviewed
host-fallback fix. The first broader attempt exposed a test environment
leak; restoring the ephemeral flag between cases resolved it.
- Agent-directory and instruction regressions passed 179 tests. Five
focused cache-loss cases pass: different home, same path on an empty
filesystem, foreign lease, concurrent controller, and missing collector.
- The live fixture at `a18f6b85a3` gracefully stopped A and deleted its
entire home, then failed the 420-second remote reattachment deadline on
the saved local agent-directory path. That failure is retained; exact
owned sandbox cleanup was independently confirmed. The next live attempt
at `e14ca5f3e9` restored the cache and transferred the same runner, but
failed while rematerializing launch assets from A. Both failures are
retained and their owned sandboxes confirmed absent. No active-overlap,
ten-deploy, or production-canary acceptance is claimed.
- All 71 related Runner adoption/recovery cases pass, including the new
removed-context regression (failed before the source fix).
- The revised full agent-directory suite passed 110 cases and failed
three cleanup timing cases. All 20 cleanup/cache-loss cases then passed
in isolation with unchanged timeouts, including over-quota recovery.
- Server and Runner TypeScript checks pass after the latest corrections;
the live retry remains pending.

- The live test at `67714af9ff` adopted the same remote execution after
A was deleted, then failed while the full backend read the retired
instruction bundle. All owned sandboxes were independently confirmed
absent. Its regression now passes with actual backend recovery and no
new thread or turn. All 59 backend factory tests and focused checkpoint
identity tests pass. Runner and server TypeScript checks pass; the exact
committed server build passes. A fresh paid-model retry followed.
- The attention-retention CI timeout reproduced on clean master. The
deadline correction passes all 53 tests in that file with unchanged
timeouts.

- The real `cd690de4d3` run transferred the same runner/session after
deleting A, completed, and completed the next revision. During handoff,
372 reads and 38 saves had zero failures; all 38 saves were verified.
The full attempt was interrupted because the probe's open task
contaminated the business company oracle. This remains incomplete
evidence. The scope regression fails before the fixture fix, then
passes; all nine deployment support tests and E2E typecheck pass. All
three owned sandboxes were confirmed absent and temporary
credentials/storage were cleaned up. A clean corrected attempt is
running.

## Risks

- The runtime guard must still reject legacy and per-turn execution
before dispatch. Tests cover these refusals and a valid resolved warm
policy.
- Directory permission changes apply only during cleanup of stopped,
test-owned homes. Traversal does not follow symlinks. This changes no
production cache permissions.
- Cache reconstruction must not change remote execution authority or
rebase the original save baseline. Tests verify foreign-lease rejection,
preserved receipts, and absence of local-to-remote upload.
- Postgres locking is scoped to active remote file work and adds no idle
polling; local/durable-server locking remains unchanged.
- No schema or public API changes. External conversation exemptions
remain unchanged.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 Codex, with reasoning, repository editing, shell execution
and live integration-test tools. The exact runtime model variant and
context-window size are not exposed in this session.

Latest real qualification at f5915fdc33: both empty-home replacements
completed with 523 reads, 53 saves and 53 verified saves, zero probe
failures. The active remote execution survived and completed once; saved
project bytes and the later useful answer passed. The full workflow
remains FAILED: the later continuation reset its native/provider session
and the public run row lacked the native terminal contract. These newly
exposed compatibility/projection gaps are tracked in the next
implementation slice; this PR is not a claim of full Railway
qualification. All owned Daytona sandboxes were independently confirmed
absent after cleanup.
