DottaandPaperclip a1f77821b9 perf(tasks): show recent conversation before historical activity (#17593)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A task page must show the instruction and current conversation
quickly.
> - The current page waits for related task data and historical run
transcripts.
> - These reads grow with task history, even when the reader only needs
the latest answer.
> - This pull request gives cold opens a small initial view and loads
older history on demand.
> - Messages and runs observed while the page stays open remain visible.
> - The benefit is a readable task before historical diagnostics finish
loading.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #14667 and #16229. The first changes the reveal gate and scroll
anchors. The second adds general history pagination. This PR adds a core
task read and a folded recent-conversation view. It preserves the
default full-read API contracts. The shared files will need coordination
if either related PR lands first.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Cold opening an ordinary task with a long conversation or large run
logs.

**Current behavior**

Task enrichment and historical transcripts delay the readable
conversation. A cold open can fetch several megabytes of tool activity
before revealing saved messages.

**Proposed behavior**

Show the task instruction, recent saved replies, latest human input, and
the latest run's conversation data first. Fetch older messages and full
run activity when the reader chooses **More messages**. Retain new
messages while the page stays open.

## What Changed

- Add an authorized core issue view that skips related enrichment. Keep
enrichment on the existing detail read. Share task mutation, rollback
and invalidation updates with the core cache.
- Add a bounded recent-comment read. Preserve the first human
instruction when no description exists, including legacy rows with a
NULL author type. Keep company and task access checks and comment
redaction.
- Add optional recent activity and run-summary views. Fetch original
input receipts for visible comments separately so delivered messages
stay out of the queue. Reconcile watched unfinished runs after a
reconnect beyond the preview window, removing deleted runs after
reconciliation.
- Filter the latest native run's initial events to assistant messages,
request lifecycles and terminal results. Full event reads remain
available on expansion. Legacy fallback reads use a small tail extended
to the first complete record. HTTP cancellation aborts the storage read.
- Retain observed messages across cursor catch-up and new runs. Apply
local cancellation and deletion to both caches and their task aliases.
Refetch locally seeded history pages on expansion. Preserve expansion
across identifier and UUID links. Keep deep links, classic tasks and
Agent Chat on their existing full-history path.
- Update API documentation, design guidance, capability maps and
regression coverage.

## Verification

- Final acceptance on `9ea0b15ae44d9f6d2c9a9f824b4835f299f92979`: all CI
gates passed, including server/UI tests, all eight browser shards,
runner checks, full typecheck and build. [Final CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40326990328).
GitHub reports 55 successful checks, two intentionally skipped checks,
and one neutral Paperclip Review check described below. No checks are
pending or failed; Greptile is 5/5 and no review threads remain open.
- October 26 merge update: merged current `master`. The only conflict
was in task-page imports; both the compact-history hook and the new
live-update hooks remain. All CI tests and build jobs passed on
`044fd6733d`. Fresh review found canceled-comment cache drift, legacy
human-comment filtering, send-then-expand truncation, and partial legacy
log records. These defects were fixed in `af3d66a5bd`.
- Review-fix verification: 470 tests pass across ten affected suites,
including all six PostgreSQL cold-open tests without a helper override.
Cancellation/delete and send-then-expand regression tests failed before
the fixes and pass afterward. Coverage includes task identifier/UUID
reopen, stale in-flight reads, legacy NULL author types, local-file and
object-storage tails cut inside UTF-8 text, route forwarding, and
request cancellation. Full workspace typecheck and production build,
token gates, map validation and diff checks pass.
- Follow-up review found that a failed expanded legacy read lost its
record-alignment state on retry. `9ea0b15ae4` commits the expanded
window only after a successful read. The new regression fails before the
fix and passes afterward; all 19 transcript tests, UI typecheck, UI
build and token gates pass. Greptile reviewed this commit at 5/5 with no
actionable findings, and all review threads are resolved.
- The final Paperclip Review check ended neutral because its execution
did not complete; no passing Paperclip assessment is claimed. Its
earlier four concrete findings were fixed and regression-tested.
Greptile and the security scans completed successfully on the final
commit.
- The preceding `af3d66a5bd` CI run was canceled when superseded by the
retry fix. Its server shard 11 check briefly reported failure, but the
job API records cancellation and its test step passed all 1,750 tests.
This superseded run is not used as final CI acceptance.
- 549 focused tests pass on the final implementation across nine task
UI, activity-route, OpenAPI and PostgreSQL suites. These cover pending
history, desktop/mobile visibility, expansion, retained runs, message
bursts, cancellation recovery and queued-comment removal in both views.
- Legacy expansion keeps the latest answer visible while fetching and
deduplicating older output.
- Five PostgreSQL tests pass for core access denial, recent comments,
missing-description instructions, event paging and bounded activity/run
reads. macOS could not start another PostgreSQL cluster because it
exhausted its semaphore limit. These tests used a separate disposable
database on an existing local server through a temporary test setup
override. The helper was restored afterward.
- Full workspace typecheck and build pass with the final state fixes, as
do token gates and capability-map validation.
- Token gates, capability-map validation and `git diff --check` pass.
- Browser proof used a disposable task with 80 comments and six large
run histories. The cold view showed the instruction and recent exchange.
**More messages** revealed older comments. Navigation away and back
preserved expansion.
- Local HTTP sample: core 50 ms, recent comments 24 ms, recent run
summaries 17 ms. The latest native conversation response was 839 JSON
characters / 8 ms; its full event response was 1,099,005 / 86 ms.
Browser content paint was 1.34 seconds with development assets cached.
These are local observations, not staging latency claims.
- The first CI run passed every job except four board-send browser cases
and the review threshold. Those browser fixtures only mocked the old
comments endpoint; they now serve both recent and full reads, retaining
all message and attachment assertions. Both initial review findings were
fixed with regression tests. The next CI run passed every job. The
deeper review identified core-cache mutation, older delivery receipt and
retained run-status gaps; those are now fixed with regression coverage.
Final review is 5/5 with zero unresolved findings. Final-head CI
initially failed one unchanged runner shutdown test
(`runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts`, timeout-attachment case) with
`NativeSessionCloseUnrecoverableError`; all other CI jobs passed. The
same runner code passed on 971a762f80. A targeted local reproduction
also failed during provider drain. The failure is outside the changed
task loading paths; its underlying cause remains unresolved. The single
failed-job retry passed on the same head; this demonstrates recovery,
not a root-cause fix. All CI gates passed on the previous implementation
head `9004f94f28`: [CI run and
retry](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40192334629).
- `pnpm test:run` was attempted and stopped after repeated embedded
PostgreSQL startup failures. The native session suite recorded 15
database-related failures; other database suites could not start. No
complete local suite pass is claimed.

## Risks

- The compact view intentionally omits older diagnostics until
expansion. Existing open questions and approvals still use the current
interaction and run paths.
- Previously observed comment and activity rows remain cached while
open. The newest preview and incoming cursor pages refresh; this does
not add a general historical-edit synchronization protocol.
- Recent views are optional. Existing full API callers retain their
response shape and behavior. No migration is required.
- A legacy tail can exceed the requested byte limit by the prefix of its
first log record. Backward reads stop at the preceding record boundary
and honor cancellation.
- Staging has not been deployed or qualified with this change. Instance
startup latency is separate from task history loading.
- The related open PRs touch the same task-history files.

DottaandPaperclip 4b89eec644 fix: check selected workspace projects before offering retry (#17552)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Task recovery explains access failures before a user retries saved
work.
> - A task project and its selected workspace are separate settings.
> - Moving a task can retain files from a project that the agent cannot
access.
> - The recovery notice checked only the task project or a past failure
record.
> - This pull request checks the projects required by the current
workspace selection.
> - The notice now offers Retry only after those project checks pass.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Follow-up to #17509. Related: #13230 concerns workspace binding
consistency; this fix changes recovery presentation only.

**What happened?**

A task could show “Project access is ready” after moving to an allowed
project while keeping a repository from a denied project. Typed failures
could also keep the notice blocked after an authorized workspace
replacement.

**Expected behavior**

Use the current task, workspace, and source project requirements. Honor
a valid pending selection for the next admission. Keep stale, archived,
or missing selections blocked without offering a project-permission
repair.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Assign a low-trust agent to a task whose selected source belongs to a
denied project.
2. Persist a project access failure.
3. Move the task to an allowed project without changing its selected
files.
4. Reload the task. The notice must still explain the access block.
5. Select an allowed source through the workspace API. Reload the task.
The notice must offer an explicit retry without starting work.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced after #17509 on master. The regression failed on the old
projection and passed with this change.

## What Changed

- Batch the current workspace project requirements for tasks with
project access failures.
- Check retained workspace and source projects, plus valid pending
workspace selections.
- Keep unknown historical denial projects unnamed. Do not expose
unrelated project identifiers.
- Keep unavailable workspace selections in the non-retryable failure
state. Adding project permissions cannot repair these selections.
- Add real database regressions for project moves, pending and applied
repairs, stale revisions, archived pending selections, and
foreign-company workspaces.
- Update the recovery contract and verification recipe.

## Verification

- Red-green regression with the real issue update service and execution
access check.
- Focused tests: 17 tests passed across `agent-project-access.test.ts`
and `task-interruption-presentation.test.ts` after rebasing on current
master.
- Browser: the retained source stays blocked when the task project is
allowed. Manage project access opens Permissions / Trust with Allowed
projects and Add project.
- The normal workspace API accepted an allowed pending selection.
Returning to the task showed “Project access is ready” and Retry.
Permissions and run count did not change.
- Full repository typecheck and build passed before the final
presentation adjustment. The final adjustment passed server typecheck,
server build, and all 17 focused tests. The stale, archived, and
foreign-workspace cases failed before this adjustment. Map and
module-boundary checks passed.
- Browser: an archived pending workspace shows the existing failure
notice without Retry or a project-permission action.
- `pnpm test:run` was attempted and stopped after 15 native runtime
database tests failed because embedded PostgreSQL could not initialize
on this host. The focused database tests passed on isolated PostgreSQL
18 in Docker. All technical CI checks passed on `a6e9f977`. Fresh CI and
review are required for the presentation adjustment. One Runner shard
passed on its single rerun after a provider shutdown failure. A fresh
local Runner build also passed that case and its reuse sibling. The
prior Paperclip Review could not publish its assessment. Its saved
presentation finding is addressed. Merge waits for a fresh published
review and all checks on the current head.

## Risks

- Presentation must follow workspace selection precedence. Tests cover
retained bindings, valid pending changes, stale changes, and company
isolation.
- This adds at most three bounded reads for tasks with a project access
failure. It adds no reads for this purpose on unaffected tasks.
- Dispatch remains the authorization authority. This change does not
grant access, move files, or start execution. No migration is required.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with reasoning, repository inspection, code
execution, and browser tools. The exact serving model identifier and
context window were not exposed in this session.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 1a3f604097 fix(db): honor the prepared-statement opt-in for ORM queries (#17673)
Drizzle calls Postgres.js unsafe queries, which disable preparation unless
per-query options enable it. The existing client-level opt-in therefore
does not prepare ORM queries.

Honor explicit true across root and child clients. Preserve defaults,
per-query options, lazy execution, and driver error handling. Document the
pooler capability requirement.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip b792165ba4 Expire native runner continuity archives and quarantine (#17616)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runner sessions keep durable state under
`<instance>/runtime/paperclip-runner/durable-sessions/`
> - When a session starts a fresh provider session, the retired state is
moved into `<session>/continuity-breaks/<epoch>-<uuid>/`; when state
loses authority, it is moved into
`quarantine/<session>.<reason>.<epoch>.<pid>.<uuid>/`
> - Nothing ever removes either, and each can hold a full Codex home of
several gigabytes
> - A sleep-aware sweep already expires failover backup copies in the
same tree
> - This pull request extends that sweep to remove both kinds of
evidence after a retention window, while keeping anything recovery may
still read
> - The benefit is that native runner disk use stops growing without
bound

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

**What happened?**
On one instance, one day of native runs produced 20 continuity-break
archives totaling 4.8 GB, one session alone holding 4 GB. The quarantine
folder held 12 entries totaling 2.1 GB, the oldest a month old. Neither
is read again by normal operation (continuity-break archives are written
by `archiveContinuityState` and never read), and nothing deletes them.
They were removed by hand to free space and will regrow.

**Expected behavior**
Evidence older than a bounded window is removed automatically, as
failover backup copies already are, without removing anything a live
session or recovery path still needs.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a native Codex session that hits a continuity break (fresh
provider session), or whose state is quarantined (for example
`identity_indeterminate`).
2. Inspect `durable-sessions/<session>/continuity-breaks/` and
`durable-sessions/quarantine/`.
3. Wait any length of time: the entries stay forever.

**Paperclip version or commit:** `master` at e335265568.
**Deployment mode:** any with native runner sessions.
**Agent adapter(s) involved:** native runner (Codex, and any provider
whose state lands in these folders).

## What Changed

-
`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-harness-backup-expiration.ts`:
the existing tick also retires evidence.
- **Continuity-break archives** (`<epoch ms>-<uuid>` under each
session): removed when older than the window. Age is the epoch in the
name, or the folder mtime when that epoch is in the future.
`archiveContinuityState` refuses to archive state with warm-transition
evidence, and no code path reads `continuity-breaks`.
- **Quarantine entries**
(`<session>.<identity_indeterminate|identity_mismatch>.<epoch
ms>.<pid>.<uuid>`): removed by the same age rule. Native cleanup source
archives (`<session>.identity_indeterminate.cleanup.<uuid>`) are
referenced from recovery history, have no epoch, and keep their original
inode's mtime, so they are always kept.
- Every entry is skipped while its session is executing, initializing,
warm, or closing in this process; this is checked again just before
removal. Symlinked entries and symlinked
`continuity-breaks`/`quarantine` folders are reported as `unsafe_path`
and never followed.
- Removal renames to `.expired-<uuid>` in the same folder and then
deletes; later sweeps finish interrupted deletions. An empty
`continuity-breaks` folder is removed.
- Archives, quarantine entries, and leftover deletions count toward
`maxEntries` and `maxRemovals`, and stop on `shouldContinue`. Paging
resumes inside a session's archives and then in quarantine, so a bounded
or dry-run batch always makes progress and never recounts a session's
backup.
- New result fields: `evidenceCandidates`, `evidenceCandidateBytes`,
`evidenceRemoved`, `evidenceReclaimedBytes`, and skip reasons
`recent_evidence` and `cleanup_archive`. The service also exposes
`noteEvidence(writtenAt)`.
- `server/src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-evidence-signal.ts`
(new): a process-local signal. `native-session-executor.ts` raises it
with the entry's epoch right after `archiveContinuityState` creates an
archive and after `quarantineRunnerdStateRoot` moves state into
quarantine; `server/src/index.ts` subscribes the sweep and unsubscribes
on shutdown.
- `server/src/config.ts`:
`PAPERCLIP_NATIVE_RUNNER_EVIDENCE_RETENTION_DAYS` (default `7`, minimum
`1`).
- `server/src/index.ts`: passes the window and logs a batch when it
found evidence candidates.
- `doc/recoverable-disk-cleanup.md`, `doc/DEVELOPING.md`: document the
variable and behavior.

**Sleep-aware background work**
(`rules/sleep-aware-background-work.mdc`):
- *Trigger:* each entry's own expiry deadline (its epoch plus the
window), plus a direct call from the executor when it writes new
evidence. No timer, interval, or polling loop is added; the pass runs
inside the existing sweep's tick and keeps its drain, warm-standby, and
shutdown handling.
- *Source of truth:* the filesystem entries themselves. After a restart
the first sweep reconstructs the next deadline from them.
- *Pending-work predicate / next deadline:* after a full pass the sweep
keeps the earliest due time of the entries it retained; ticks before
that time skip the evidence pass entirely (no readdir, no SQL). A busy
session, a failed removal, or a full batch makes it due on the next
sweep while that obligation remains.
- *Quiet condition:* no evidence, or only evidence not yet due. The pass
never queries the database, so retained evidence never causes recurring
SQL. Dry run reports each candidate once rather than every hour.

No code comments were added.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run src/__tests__/native-harness-backup-expiration`
(in `server/`, embedded Postgres): 52 passed. New cases:
- old archives and quarantine entries are removed, recent ones kept; the
empty `continuity-breaks` folder is removed;
- age comes from the name, with mtime used for a future epoch;
non-archive folders are ignored;
- a busy session keeps its evidence, including when it becomes busy
after the first check, and it is retried on the next tick;
- dry run reports candidates and bytes, changes nothing (including
leftovers), and reports each candidate once until new evidence comes
due;
- symlinked entries and symlinked evidence folders are skipped without
touching the target;
- an old quarantine entry is removed even when its session's issue is
still open; cleanup source archives are kept;
- the pass stays quiet until retained evidence is due, and a
`noteEvidence` signal schedules newly written evidence;
- inspected archives and leftovers count against `maxEntries`, and
leftover removal stops on `shouldContinue` and resumes next tick;
- a due pass stopped by drain before any session stays pending;
one-entry batches finish without recounting a resumed session;
- interrupted `.expired-*` deletions are finished; paging across ticks
with `maxRemovals`, in normal and dry run, with no recount of the backup
when resuming.
- `native-session-executor.test.ts`: quarantining a legacy root raises
the evidence signal with the epoch in the entry name.
- `native-harness-backup-expiration-config`: default, explicit, minimum,
and fallback parsing.
- **Mutation checks**, each failing at least one test: removing the age
check, the future-epoch fallback, either busy check, the busy retry
deadline, the recent-entry deadline, the due gate, the `noteEvidence`
update, merging the pass deadline, the entry and both folder symlink
checks, the dry-run return, the dry-run leftover guard, leftover
removal, the leftover budget check and its retry deadline, counting
archives against `maxEntries`, the cleanup-archive skip, the
empty-folder removal, the resume cursor, the per-archive budget check,
the resume skip of the backup pass, not charging a resumed session,
keeping the pass active across drain, and the executor's quarantine
signal.
- `pnpm exec vitest run config native-harness
native-workspace-sync-retention native-session-executor server-startup`
(in `server/`): 1272 passed on the previous commit; `config
native-harness native-workspace-sync-retention server-startup`: 450
passed on the head commit.
- `pnpm run typecheck` (in `server/`): pass.
- Not run: server build and boot smoke. The continuity-archive signal
call is exercised only by a runner integration test that needs the
runnerd binary.

## Risks

- **Quarantine as a fail-closed fence:** recovery
(`recoverQuiescentRunnerdState`) and failed-run retry
(`nativeFailedRunRetryStateIsSafe`) treat a quarantined entry for a
session as a reason not to bootstrap fresh. Once such an entry ages out,
a later run of that session can start a fresh provider session instead
of failing with `quarantine_owner_unverified`. This applies only after
the window, matching what backup expiry already accepts for closed work.
- **Signal coverage:** the signal is process-local. Evidence written by
another process sharing the same state directory is picked up when the
next retained deadline is due or after a restart, not immediately.
- **Legacy-path quarantine:** entries quarantined from legacy roots
carry a legacy digest, so the in-process busy check cannot match them;
they are removed by age only.
- **Remote sandboxes:** archives moved aside on a remote runner
(`<root>.continuity-break-<token>`) are outside this sweep.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), 1M context, through Claude Code
with tool use (shell, file edits, tests).

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 7ebf98eafd fix(recovery): avoid duplicate terminal run status notifications (#17614)
Retain pending status deliveries when Native or legacy terminal recovery projects the same state. Preserve completion time on unchanged Native terminal status. Real state, metadata, error, explicit patch, and retained-file changes still notify. The publisher acknowledgement, accepted results, retry deadlines, recovery holds, ownership checks, and workspace cleanup remain intact.

Correct the queued Retry browser fixture race by releasing its old-process guard at the exact Retry request, requiring a successful response, and retaining fixture cleanup after failure.

Validated by 159 focused tests, 653 wider Native recovery tests, six real Chromium/PostgreSQL browser cases, five queued Retry repeats, build/typecheck, exact-head Apex 5/5, and green required CI. The original detached-button CI timeout is documented in the PR. The additional full local repository Vitest command is still running and is not claimed complete.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip e335265568 fix(ui): stop idle task run polling with live updates (#17608)
Stop successful empty assigned-task run queries from polling only while the matching company and session connection is open. Preserve active, pending, failed, and disconnected cadence. Share one lifecycle refresh owner between the task and chat views, discover reviewer events without task identity, and refresh after older in-flight reads settle.

All 175 focused tests, 9,079 UI tests, build, typecheck, exact-head Greptile 5/5, and required CI pass. Regression mutations catch reviewer discovery, duplicate reads, readiness, failure state, missing refreshes, and scope cleanup. Earlier E2E cleanup deadlock and server cleanup timeout remain documented; failed-only reruns passed on their same commits.

DottaandPaperclip 8415f4a679 fix(github): drain queued pings during active App setup (#17551)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip connects external work to an agent and its ordinary tasks.
> - A dedicated GitHub App must prove signed webhook delivery during
setup.
> - Cloud queues the original bytes until the tenant can authenticate
them.
> - An older personal connection can leave a long empty-queue backoff in
that tenant.
> - Active App setup can then time out before the queued ping is read.
> - This change lets active setup request the existing event drain with
a short rate limit.
> - The same webhook handler still owns signature verification and setup
state.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #17457, #17513.

**What happened?**

Cloud accepted a new App's ping, but the tenant read it only after the
setup wait timed out and cleanup archived the draft. An existing
personal GitHub connection had left an empty-queue backoff. The poller
checked that deadline before it read the new App state.

**Expected behavior**

An active manager setup request must be able to read the queued ping
promptly. It must not bypass signature checks or create another App.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Let a personal GitHub connection build its empty-queue backoff.
2. Start a dedicated App and complete its installation.
3. Return to the waiting setup screen while the signed ping is queued.

**Paperclip version or commit**

This behavior is present on the base commit of this PR.

## What Changed

- Let the authenticated wizard request a queue drain only while its
Cloud App still lacks signed-delivery verification. Existing manager,
credential, and installation checks run first.
- Register a narrow callback to the server-owned GitHub poller. Keep
provider handling in the GitHub services. Remove the callback on server
close.
- Share one in-flight attempt between setup and background requests.
Limit setup attempts to one per five seconds, including after errors.
- Retain the existing passive backoff, sealed queue, acknowledgement
rules, and canonical webhook signature handler.
- Add regressions for the old backoff, concurrent requests, failed
requests, and wizard signature verification. Update the setup
documentation and map.

## Verification

- Observed the backoff regression fail against the old service: active
setup made no additional Cloud lease request. It passes with this fix.
- Three focused event-poller tests pass. They use the real
admission/backoff code with stubbed SQL and Cloud boundaries.
- All 39 startup tests pass. Server TypeScript, map checks, and diff
checks pass.
- The Postgres integration suites could not start locally because this
host exhausted its semaphore limit. They remain required CI checks. This
is not a passing local integration result.
- Full current-head CI passes, including the Postgres and chat
integration suites. Greptile scored this exact head 5/5 with no
unresolved findings.
- The additional Paperclip review check ended neutral because its
execution did not complete. It did not publish a validated assessment.
- A fresh deployed setup attempt remains required before live
qualification.

## Risks

A waiting setup screen now makes a bounded readiness request to Cloud.
The existing connector request timeout still applies. Concurrent calls
share the same drain, and failures release it for a later retry. The
request stops after persisted verification or when the browser stops
advancing setup. No timer, durable queue, fleet setting, or sleep
blocker is added or removed. The existing background reconciliation path
still has its existing sleep restrictions. Live setup-to-review behavior
is not established by these local tests.

context-window size are not exposed in this session. Used for code

DottaandPaperclip 2a9d527c68 fix: preserve native startup during controller restart (#17511)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The native runtime keeps a durable runner alive across controller
restarts.
> - A restart can begin while a provider session is still opening.
> - The old controller fenced read-only run admission before it could
publish that prepared session.
> - Admission failure then closed the runner that shutdown needed to
detach.
> - This pull request lets only the existing startup finish admission
within the bounded shutdown wait.
> - The controller detaches that exact session before it can submit a
turn. New work and state changes stay fenced.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A controller restart during native provider startup could close the
prepared runner with `native control-plane run admission failed`.
Recovery then found no running process and placed the task in a
reconciliation hold. The same admission path follows both fresh startup
and replacement after a failed provider resume.

**Expected behavior**

Shutdown must detach the existing prepared session so the next
controller can recover it through the normal identity checks. Shutdown
must not admit a new executor, submit a turn, or override an explicit
Stop.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Delay a native backend while it opens its provider session.
2. Request controller restart detachment for that run.
3. Let backend startup finish before the 30-second deadline.
4. Observe that read-only admission fails and shutdown reports the run
as inactive instead of detached.

**Additional context**

Related work: #17073 handles remote process-monitor classification;
#17459 handles macOS process fingerprints; #17097 covers broader hot
upgrade recovery. This change fixes the startup admission fence. It does
not relax process identity or provider launch-profile checks.

## What Changed

- Separate the read-only admission guard from the guard on control-plane
state changes.
- Let shutdown await only the startup already registered for the run.
Close its admission window when the wait ends.
- Reject a new execution after its run is fenced for shutdown.
- Detach the prepared session and exit before runtime-question
attachment or provider turn submission.
- If Stop is pending before or after publication, retain its exact
cancellation acknowledgment and cleanup owner across authority reads and
runtime-question attachment.
- Share one 30-second admission/Stop-settlement deadline across the
restart sweep. Report an unsettled run as pending while healthy runs
continue hot-restart adoption.
- Cover the real runtime and admission path, deadline expiry, new-start
rejection, persisted binding checks, and write fences.
- Document the bounded startup handoff in the restart ownership
contract.

## Verification

- Red: the new actual-runtime/admission regression failed on the
previous code. Shutdown reported the run as inactive and did not detach
it.
- Red: review regressions reproduced detach before a post-publication
Stop acknowledgment and an actual hot-restart preparation error when
startup Stop cleanup timed out.
- Green on `e10d0cb238`: 18 startup/restart tests passed, including Stop
during authority reads and runtime-question attachment, the real
recovery preparation and shutdown coordinator with a stalled Stop plus
healthy peer, and the shared sweep deadline. The earlier 36-case
Stop/restart selection also passed before this follow-up.
- Both complete changed test files previously passed on head
`8e9c2610fe`: 857 tests. They used real PostgreSQL 18 with a fresh
database per fixture. An earlier local harness attempt reused one
database and hit duplicate fixture keys; that harness was corrected
before this complete pass.
- Real PostgreSQL: 7 admission and revocation tests passed. These cover
wrong runner identity, persisted binding mismatch, checkpoint/result
rejection, and in-flight write revocation. The local test harness used a
fresh Docker PostgreSQL 18 instance because macOS embedded Postgres
exhausted the host semaphore limit. Only database provisioning was
replaced; assertions and production port code were unchanged.
- Transport safety acceptance: the current source transport controlled a
real Linux ARM runner and a deterministic Codex test provider in a
disposable Debian container. After startup, detach and generic cleanup
preserved the process. A new controller authenticated the same PID and
provider session. The provider log had exactly one session start and no
turn start. Duplicate launch was forbidden, the retained workspace was
unchanged, and no stop or suspend command was issued.
- The Linux acceptance check tests the shared native transport safety
contract. It is not a live Claude response, a hosted Daytona run, or
recovery of the original task. Those remain unverified. No original
task, sandbox, credentials, or permissions were changed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed before the review
follow-up. Server typecheck passed on current head `e10d0cb238`;
current-head CI also passed the full typecheck and build gates.
- The full local `pnpm test:run` command was attempted, then stopped
after repeated embedded PostgreSQL bootstrap setup failures. That broad
local run is incomplete. The current-head four-file Docker PostgreSQL
run passed 879 tests, with one existing warm-copy `claim-uncertain` case
timing out and recovery failing to import because the temporary
provisioning mock omitted a support export. The harness is corrected and
affected cases are being rechecked. The timeout is unexplained; it is
not being labeled an infrastructure failure. No assertions are skipped
by the database provisioning replacement.
- All 55 clean-host CI checks passed on current head `e10d0cb238` (2
conditional skips), including all general test shards and native runner
verification. Greptile reviewed that exact head at 5/5 with no findings.
The previous Paperclip review findings are addressed in [the review
response](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/17511#issuecomment-6391520242);
its new advisory review remains queued.

## Risks

- Admission must stay read-only. All writes retain the original
synchronous controller fence, and both admission checks still validate
the exact persisted binding.
- Startup that exceeds the 30-second shutdown wait still fails closed.
It cannot claim a successful detach or start a turn.
- No schema migration or provider configuration change is included.

execution, and test execution. The exact runtime model ID and context
window are not exposed in this session.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip c8a6b4561b perf(heartbeat): narrow native Stop evidence rechecks (#17544)
Read current native Stop identity, acknowledgement, and process evidence without saved execution inputs, profiles, excerpts, or unrelated result data. Preserve the complete nested acknowledgement and every existing lease, remote-termination, process, ownership, and admission check. The physical-stop helper body is unchanged.

Verified with 101 tests across the affected suites, the full build, and typecheck. The review fix passed 62 focused tests. Large valid saved inputs stay below 2 KB at the raw driver boundary; large malformed string and array results stay below 1 KB and remain stored. CI is green and exact-head Greptile is 5/5 at Medium impact with no unresolved comments.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 2f637fe8c4 perf(tools): scope connection readiness assignment reads (#17541)
Connection readiness reads current permitted connection identities without unrelated catalog rows or complete profile-rule payloads. Reuse profile precedence and selector logic, preserve full public/runtime summaries, and keep installed connections, identity checks, and gateway authorization current.

Verified with 106 focused tests, the full build, and typecheck. The direct catalog inventory regression fails at 102 rows when the scope filter is removed and passes at two rows with the filter. One unrelated CI timing assertion differed by 1 ms; the exact local test and the single failed shard rerun passed on unchanged source. CI is green and exact-head Greptile is 5/5 at Medium impact with no unresolved comments.
