DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 c0593b69f1 fix(accounting): close a remote-Runner turn completed across a session restore as a lower bound (#20524)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native runs settle their charge once the final usage receipt is
complete.
> - #20517 fixed one case for the local Runner. If a restart stops the
provider before a turn's final usage report, and the restored Runner
then reports that turn completed, the turn now closes as a lower bound
instead of waiting 10 minutes.
> - Remote Runners deliver usage through a separate producer-owned
receiver. That receiver dropped `session.resumed`, so the same turn
there still waited for the 10-minute closure timeout.
> - This pull request applies the #20517 rule to that receiver.
> - The benefit is that remote ACPX and OpenCode runs settle promptly
with an honest lower-bound label after a mid-turn restore.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20517.

**What happened?**

After #20517, `session.resumed` reached turn accounting only through the
local Runner's fallback recorder. The remote producer receiver
(`native-usage-delivery.ts`) and the session-authority filter
(`isNativeUsageAccountingEvent`) both dropped it. A remote ACPX or
OpenCode turn that was open across a session restore, and then reported
terminal without a complete report, left the receipt incomplete until
the closure timeout.

**Expected behavior**

Same rule as the local Runner. Such a turn closes as a lower bound right
away. A complete report that arrives after the restore is still used,
and a turn that starts after the restore stays pending until its own
report is complete.

**Steps to reproduce**

`native-usage-delivery.integration.test.ts > a turn restored mid-turn on
a remote Runner > closes the turn as a lower bound, also after the
controller restarts between restore and terminal` fails on master: the
receipt stays `accountingReceiptReady: false`.

## What Changed

- **Receiver (`createNativeUsageReceiver`).** It now accepts
`session.resumed` for turn-reporting providers (ACPX, OpenCode) while a
turn is open. It journals the restore as a receipt like any other
producer event, so turn accounting marks the open turn restored. A
replacement controller rebuilds the same state from that journal.
- **Restores never fail delivery.** A restore from another run or
source, or one with no open turn, is ignored, not rejected. An
unacknowledged lifecycle event would otherwise replay without end.
- **Session-authority filter.** `acceptAccountingEvent` now uses a new
`isNativeUsageDeliveryEvent`: the usage events plus `session.resumed`. A
restore for another run is ignored there too.
- **Recovery routing is unchanged.** `acceptRecoveryAccountingEvent` and
`onRecoveryAccountingEvent` keep the usage-only
`isNativeUsageAccountingEvent`, so a source run's restore never requires
a proven recovery source.
- **Turn accounting** gets a `hasOpenTurn()` helper.
- **Docs:** `doc/SPEC-implementation.md` now covers both Runners.

## Verification

- `native-usage-delivery.integration.test.ts`, describe `a turn restored
mid-turn on a remote Runner` (real PostgreSQL):

  | Test | On master | Here |
  |---|---|---|
| `closes the turn as a lower bound, also after the controller restarts
between restore and terminal`: the restore is journaled by one receiver
and the terminal arrives at a rebuilt one; replaying everything again is
idempotent | fails | passes |
| `keeps the turn's own final report when it arrives after the restore`
(guard) | passes | passes |
| `keeps a turn started after the restore pending, and journals nothing
for a restore with no open turn` (guard) | passes | passes |

- `native-session-executor.test.ts > binds retained warm transport usage
to the successor run authority` covers routing through the
session-authority filter:
  - a current-run restore reaches the successor's capture;
  - a draining-run restore reaches the drained capture;
  - an unrelated-run restore resolves with no capture;
  - recovery routing ignores a source restore.

It fails when the filter is reverted to `isNativeUsageAccountingEvent`.
- Related suites pass: `native-usage-delivery.integration` and
`native-usage-accounting` (46 tests), and the usage, accounting, receipt
and authority cases in `native-session-executor.test.ts` (224 tests).
Server typecheck passes.
- **The live remote path is unproven.** No Daytona wave ran because the
Daytona Runner image has not been rebuilt yet. The local Runner
counterpart (#20517) passed restart-chaos L1, seed 20386, 4/4
(`w-20261110T104332-s20386`).

## Risks

- **Upgrade safety.** Usage state saved by current master has no
journaled restore and rebuilds as before. A receiver that predates this
change replays a journaled restore as an ignored event, which is the
behaviour on master. A restore that an older controller already
acknowledged is not replayed, so that run waits for the closure timeout
as it does today.
- **One extra receipt per mid-turn restore**, only for ACPX and OpenCode
and only while a turn is open. Nothing is added before `turn.start`: a
restore with no open turn returns immediately.
- **Codex and other providers are unaffected.** They do not use turn
accounting.
- No schema or persisted-format change.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 37808f2a4e fix(accounting): close a local-Runner turn completed across a session restore as a lower bound (#20517)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native runs record usage receipts, and accounting settles a run's
charge once its final receipt is complete.
> - ACPX Claude reports provisional zero usage until a turn ends, then
one final report.
> - A restart can stop the provider after the agent's finish call and
before that final report. The restored Runner then resumes the session
and reports the same turn completed with no complete report.
> - The receipt stayed incomplete, so the accepted run waited for the
10-minute closure timeout and then settled as unpriced. Its spend was
missing from company totals in the meantime.
> - This pull request closes such a turn as a lower bound, the same way
a turn the Runner fails as lost on restore is already closed.
> - The benefit is that an accepted run settles right away with its
observed usage and an honest lower-bound label.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20484 (restart-chaos L1 contention follow-up).

**What happened?**

After #20484 fixed the database contention, restart-chaos L1 (`--seed
20386 --db-pressure 4`, codex and claude, K1) reached 4/4 tasks done.
Each task still failed the T-oracle `company_spend_settled` with
`pending_runs=1`. A replay on master with `--keep`
(`w-20261110T100747-s20386`) reproduced it, and I read the kept
database:

- The pending run (`71f71d10`, ACPX Claude) succeeded and had its result
accepted. Its usage had `accountingReceiptReady: false`, zero tokens,
`costStatus: unpriced`, and no cost event.
- Its only turn started before K1, and every usage report in it was
provisional (`runDeltaComplete: false`). K1 struck right after the
agent's `paperclip_finish` call (source seq 118), before the turn's
final report.
- On restart, recovery verified the local process stopped and resumed
the session (`session.resumed`, seq 119). The restored Runner then
reported the same turn `turn.completed` (seq 124) with no usage report.
- The other Claude run in that wave lost its turn as
`provider_turn_lost_on_restore`, ran a new turn live with full usage,
and settled at once.

**Expected behavior**

An accepted run whose open turn's final report was lost with the
provider process settles promptly. It records its observed usage as a
lower bound, like a turn lost on restore. A complete report that does
arrive after the restore is still used.

**Steps to reproduce**

`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-usage-accounting.test.ts >
closes a turn that completed across a session restore without its final
report, as a lower bound` uses the event sequence from the kept
database. It fails on master because the snapshot stays incomplete.

## What Changed

- `createNativeTurnAccounting` observes `session.resumed` and marks
every open turn as restored. A terminal event for a restored turn
without a complete report marks it lost. The snapshot then closes it as
a lower bound (`accountingUsageLost`), through the existing
lost-on-restore path. A new `turn.started` clears the mark.
- A lost terminal turn keeps its identity in the snapshot, so the
executor's terminal-turn match certifies the final checkpoint as
complete. This came from review.
- The native session executor includes `session.resumed` when it
rebuilds turn state from the run's event log after a controller restart.
- `doc/SPEC-implementation.md` documents the case next to the existing
lost-on-restore rule.

## Verification

- Red on master, green here: `native-usage-accounting.test.ts > closes a
turn that completed across a session restore without its final report,
as a lower bound`. It also checks that replaying the history twice gives
the same snapshot.
- Red on the first revision, green after the review fix:
`native-session-executor.test.ts > certifies a turn completed across a
session restore as a lower bound (history replay: false|true)`. It
drives the restored sequence through executor completion, both live and
from the event history.
- New guards that pass before and after:
- `keeps a restored turn's own final report when it arrives after the
restore`: a complete report after resume is used, not marked lost.
- `keeps an incomplete turn pending when the session resumed before it
started`.
- The existing `keeps an incomplete provider report pending instead of
trusting placeholder zeroes` still passes.
- Related suites pass: `native-usage-accounting`,
`native-usage-delivery.integration`, `closed-native-receipt-accounting`
(107 tests), and the usage, accounting and receipt cases in
`native-session-executor.test.ts` (151 tests). Server typecheck passes.
- Live, restart-chaos L1, seed 20386, `--db-pressure 4`, codex and
claude, K1, head `a6e521f06c`, clean worktree:
`w-20261110T104332-s20386` passed 4/4. R1–R6 and the T-oracle passed for
every task. `company_spend_settled` reported `pending_runs=0` (summary
85.30823 = cost events 85.30823), with zero serialization failures under
about 397k pressure updates. On master the same seed failed every task
on `company_spend_settled pending_runs=1` (`w-20261110T100747-s20386`,
among others).

## Risks

- A restored turn without a complete report now settles at its observed
usage, flagged as a lower bound, instead of after 10 minutes as "closure
timed out". In both cases the final report never arrived. The money
recorded is the same observed usage; only the timing and the provenance
label differ.
- Scope: local Runner only. The executor fallback-recorder path sees
`session.resumed`. The producer-owned delivery path for remote runners
(`native-usage-delivery.ts`, `isNativeUsageAccountingEvent`) still drops
it, so a remote ACPX/OpenCode turn restored mid-turn still waits for the
closure timeout. That is a follow-up.
- No schema or persisted-format change.

DottaandPaperclip 0e325e8d52 fix(runner): settle saved handoffs after verified shutdown (#20336)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - An agent can save a question or approval handoff before its provider
stops.
> - A missing provider terminal notification does not prove that the
saved work failed.
> - Runner already verifies provider exit, event drain, tool settlement
and suspension.
> - This change uses that proof to settle the same saved handoff.
> - Unproven shutdown holds continuation and explains that the work is
saved.
> - Recovery must never repeat the completed work or allow overlapping
execution.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20330. That PR extends the Codex terminal drain window. This
change handles the separate case where no terminal arrives but the owned
shutdown can prove stopped execution.

**What happened?**

A native run saved a human handoff, accepted cancellation, and later
stopped its provider. The missing terminal notification still made the
attempt fail and show “Couldn’t finish this attempt.”

**Expected behavior**

Keep the saved handoff. Accept its yielded result after either an
authoritative provider terminal or verified shutdown of the exact
execution. If shutdown remains uncertain, retain the handoff and explain
the hold without offering a duplicate Retry.

**Steps to reproduce**

Save a governed wait, acknowledge interruption, and omit the provider
terminal. The new regression uses the real Runner binary and a
controlled Codex process. The old runtime rejects the handoff instead of
asking the existing shutdown owner to settle it.

**Deployment mode**

Native Runner with Codex. Local verification used macOS arm64 and Node
26.4.0. Hosted sandbox recovery has not been qualified.

## What Changed

- Add an optional driver shutdown-settlement operation. Runner returns
proof only after its existing stop, drain, tool settlement and
suspension barrier passes.
- Bind the receipt to the run, normalized session and turn. Persist it
with the saved wait and validate it during recovery.
- Complete the same yielded handoff after verified shutdown. Retire the
stopped session from warm reuse. Do not invent a provider terminal or
complete usage.
- Retain a named shutdown-pending condition under the existing bounded
same-run recovery policy. Preserve actual provider failures and
integrity failures.
- Show saved-work shutdown guidance in task and inbox presentation. Keep
genuine approvals authoritative and disable duplicate Retry.
- Document the completion and restart contract. The checkpoint field is
additive; older checkpoints retain the terminal-or-shutdown path.

## Verification

- Red: the new runtime regression failed against the original
implementation because verified shutdown was never requested. Server
presentation and error-classification regressions also failed before the
fix.
- Red: both inbox shutdown states showed generic text before the inbox
change.
- Green: Runner runtime, shutdown and harness-backend suites pass 301
tests. Tests cover missing terminals, failed stop proof, wrong identity,
cancellation, late proof, genuine provider failure, and restart after
receipt persistence. Recovery completes once without another model turn.
- Green: the native executor and task-presentation suites pass 1,371
tests. Execution projection, inbox and blocker presentation pass 125
tests. Two test-authoring mistakes were corrected: an integrity-error
text expectation and an assertion for a nonexistent projection field.
Their initial failures remain in local logs.
- Runner TypeScript and full server layered type checks pass. Token
gates and diff whitespace checks pass.
- Live provider acceptance: real Runner and Codex with gpt-6.1-sol, one
disposable local workspace, one tool call, and one deliberately dropped
terminal notification. The saved file, bound settlement receipt, one
accepted yielded result, one provider turn, confirmed provider exit and
suspended Runner all passed. The tool handler and persistence port were
controlled. This does not claim a full server or hosted journey.
- The full browser question-and-answer cell stopped before execution
because OPENAI_API_KEY was absent. No model work ran in that attempt.
Hosted sandbox recovery and the full browser continuation journey remain
unverified.
- `pnpm verify` returned exit 2 because the execution-spec change
requires broad CI. Required CI will supply that coverage; a full local
repository suite was not repeated.

- Review correction in `8553da244e`: a failed trailing-event write could
hide a provider failure. A new regression reproduced red, then passed
after all ordinary drain errors retained the named pending condition. No
settlement receipt or result can be accepted after that error. The live
missing-terminal check passed again on the corrected runtime.
- The real PostgreSQL control-plane regression and three existing
governed-wait controls pass. The new case persists one accepted yielded
result, a bound shutdown receipt, and the original pending human
question without a provider terminal.
- First CI revision `7c2cb9b1`: test-program typecheck found a missing
`PrpEvent` annotation in the new fixture. The annotation is fixed and
the Runner test-program typecheck passes. Runner support also timed out
in the unchanged `registered roots remain protected even when equal to
genuine public static bytes` case after 30 seconds. One unchanged local
diagnostic passed in 3.69 seconds overall. The hosted timeout cause
remains unknown; no timeout, fixture, or assertion was weakened.
[Original failed support
job](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42670851821/job/129346900133).

- Rebased onto the merged #20330 and current recovery changes. The
combined branch passes 1,402 executor/presentation tests. Both prompt
and 18-second provider terminals still pass. A warm session with no
terminal passes after the full 30-second drain and verified
stop/suspension. Its initial overly broad assertion rejected a
nonterminal turn event; the corrected assertion rejects every terminal
type. The rebased CI gate was cancelled before any runner or step
started; its cause is unconfirmed and it supplies no validation credit.
Final revision `b49ec5a144` starts fresh CI and review.

- Final-head CI attempt 1 failed before creating jobs. GitHub reports an
internal server error (correlation
`2c576b07-b67f-4179-a69f-74f7d99cd926`), followed by empty
runner-selection outputs for the aggregate jobs. One unchanged-commit
retry was requested; the initial admission failure remains recorded. [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42673159868).

- **Current blocker:** final head
`b49ec5a144e94e41e96e2508a79bd9aec91fe45a` has a fresh 5/5 Greptile
review and zero unresolved threads, but required CI is not complete.
GitHub reports an active [Actions and Checks API
incident](https://www.githubstatus.com/incidents/tp8cghg7tlc4). Attempt
2 ran only part of the full selected graph. Build, canary, Rust, sandbox
providers, admitted browser shards and other completed test jobs passed.
The E2E aggregate correctly failed because `policy` and `e2e_shards` had
`abandoned` results. Server shard 5/12 received a runner shutdown signal
at 18:36:55 UTC and its test step was cancelled; its job still reports
in progress. The shutdown cause is not established. The separate review
workflow had the same pre-execution internal-error class and passed one
bounded retry. No further retry was submitted during the incident.
Resume with the missing/cancelled coverage after GitHub recovers; do not
count the absent typecheck, Runner or support jobs as passes. [Failed
coverage
gate](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42673159868/job/129354318236),
[interrupted server
shard](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42673159868/job/129350854174).

## Risks

- A missing terminal can use one additional bounded shutdown interval.
Unknown shutdown still blocks continuation.
- Provider terminal and usage accounting keep their separate meaning.
The receipt proves stopped execution and settled tool outcomes, not
model success.
- Recovery rejects a foreign receipt, a later turn, an active turn with
a settled receipt, and an actual failed provider terminal.
- There is no database migration. Older checkpoint shapes remain
readable. Drivers without this optional proof retain a named pending
state.
- This PR does not deploy the fix or repair an existing hosted task.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, repository tools and local
code execution. The exact serving model ID and context window are not
exposed in this session. Live test inference used gpt-6.1-sol.

Dotta a3e7e63330 Guard Native recovery with process-space proof and explicit containment (#19813)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents and their work.
> - Recovery must preserve execution ownership and accepted results.
> - A saved PID proves nothing outside its recorded process namespace.
> - Uncertain unfinished work must stay held until its original owners
stop.
> - Operators need a source-bound containment action and a separate
ordinary Retry.
> - Accepted results must use the existing finalizer without another
provider turn.
> - This PR keeps those paths safe, recoverable, and quiet between real
obligations.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #19713

Refs: #19591

Recovery could use a local PID to release or replace a controller from
another process namespace. Connected-chat Retry also rejected successful
containment on a task in `todo`. The new containment action used a
broader permission than the existing owner-stop action. A later review
found that result-less guards also rejected the existing accepted-result
confirmation action.

## What Changed

- Record and verify the controller's kernel/PID namespace. Keep unknown
and foreign unfinished ownership held. Preserve independent durable stop
evidence and the existing remote lease fences.
- Use the shared accepted-result ownership reconciler. Bind settlement
to the observed lease token, generation, boot, PID, namespace and
process birth. Retain finalizer, cleanup, current-controller, live-owner
and remote exclusions.
- Share the remote-owner reader across recovery consumers. Scope runner
leases to the same company, task and run. Do not make local PID probes
for remote accepted-result ownership.
- Gate original-host containment on `runtime:confirm_owner_stop`. Bind
it to the current task, source, assignee, original expiry, lease and
Stop state. Audit separate controller/provider containment and reviewed
action outcomes.
- Keep containment separate from ordinary Retry. Use one canonical
committed receipt and the normal admission, budget, workspace and
lineage checks. Preserve the recorded external-action outcomes.
- Keep the controller-only confirmation actionable for both result-less
work and accepted results. Result-less work gets its next source-bound
attention in the same transaction. Accepted results keep their original
result and use normal shared settlement/finalization.
- Keep identity inspection quiet. Preserve the original foreign-owner
expiry and use the existing scoped finalizer in accepted-result recovery
controls.
- Update the recovery card, validators, execution projection, docs and
access maps. Reuse existing canonical columns; add no migration or
ownership backfill.

## Verification

Current publication head: `71ea76b568de09d6313d8992e803131d9d5c54f3`.

**The current fix has a causal red/green check.** On the test-only
revision, both foreign-local stopped/fenced controller cases failed
because recovery probed saved runner, process-group and provider PIDs in
this host's namespace. This measured the wrong probes; it did not run
duplicate providers. After the fix, the same two cases passed every
no-probe, no-claim, no-controller-stamp, no-stop-receipt and
unchanged-authority assertion. Three existing remote preparation, grace
and fenced-controller progress cases also passed. Total: **5 passed, 0
failed;170 filtered rows excluded**. All three normal affected App
TypeScript programs passed on this head (660,681 and428 roots).

The fix separates a controller wait from execution stop proof.
Independent live/grace evidence still schedules recovery. A
stopped/fenced foreign controller can pass this namespace guard only for
remote execution, which keeps its later checkpoint and never-launched
checks. Foreign local execution stays held before runner or provider PID
inspection.

Earlier source-scoped results remain evidence, not fresh executions on
the current head:

- On `c86dd741`, the complete failed-owner file passed **25/25**, with
no skips or filters. Empty scans wrote no controller stamps. Foreign
ownership kept its original expiry. Normal returned-claim settlement and
attention at the exact deadline passed.
- On `c86dd741`, **15 selected accepted-result/restart controls
passed**. The81 filtered rows are excluded. Both completion cases used
the existing scoped finalizer and kept their accepted result without
another provider turn.
- Trusted CI at synthetic merge `50d072a5` (actual master `1b7fe334`
plus `c86dd741`) passed the complete **17-case maintenance-server
file**. This includes the original90-real-second quiet observation and
two qualified hourly windows. The quiet case took118,918ms. The four
jobs that failed on the earlier publication all passed on that synthetic
merge.
- On `6243b32c`, the complete ownership-report file passed **29/29**.
Native NULL namespace stayed unprovable and generic compatibility
remained. Three selected recovery controls passed;170 filtered rows are
excluded.
- On `f81f2c3c`,356 business cases passed: whole ownership-route221,
recoveryUI70, owner-proof38 and controller-confirmation8; selected
accepted-result authority18; and one real connected-chat containment,
separate authorized Retry, useful Native result and downstream reply
case. The2,024 filtered rows are excluded. A separate earlier
accepted-result causal case kept the original result and completed after
restart without replay.

Normal Shared exports, App programs, UI typecheck, token gates and map
checks passed on their recorded revisions. Unchanged DB, adapter, Eval
and Runner inputs/outputs have explicit carry proofs. The clean normal
merge with fetched master `8fe524f7` preserves all31 exclusive owned
paths and14,827 unrelated master entries. The nine overlapping paths
were reviewed, including the upstream unidentified-run stop action.
Fresh CI must validate that actual merge composition.

PG cases used existing external PG17, fresh owned databases, pools at
most4, one worker and no SQL observer during cases. Registered clients
and recorded process groups closed. Independent final SQL audits found
zero campaign sessions before normal database cleanup. Original failing
fixtures remain retained.

Original failures are preserved. One new test first failed compilation
due to a missing getter import; an import-only correction passed its
full owning programs before the causal red/green check. A local quiet
attempt stopped in the normal prerequisite hook before any business case
and its collector rejected two normal build markers. The later17-case CI
pass establishes quiet recovery; it does not turn that failed local
collector into a pass. An earlier useful case passed before its private
cleanup collector failed on an owned read-only directory; normal cleanup
completed after all owners closed. Earlier runner-shutdown cancellation
and a separate private whole-suite failure remain unexplained.

Current-head checks are complete:57 success,1 neutral and3 skipped,
including the successful aggregate CI gate. The legacy status passed.
Greptile is5/5 and Ponytail gives an explicit5/5 Ship verdict for this
head. All seven review threads are resolved. Full recursive typecheck,
the full test suite and release build were not repeated locally. No
result here proves deployed suspension, a live provider or termination
on another host.

## Risks

- Unknown physical ownership can require an owner/admin action. A false
containment statement can be unsafe.
- New work, reassignment, Stop, renewed authority, accepted results or
pending cleanup can invalidate an action. The operator must refresh.
- Controller confirmation does not prove provider/tool containment.
Completed external actions must not be replayed.
- Generic legacy and child-process compatibility remains separate from
the strict Native controller policy.
- Existing saved state and canonical schema are preserved. Permanent
safety refusals remain held with their normal named recovery path.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` agents implemented and tested the changes with
reasoning, repository tools and code execution. A GPT-6-based Codex
managing agent reviewed and integrated them. The host does not expose
the manager's exact build or the context-window sizes.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 2dd7a98753 fix(recovery): return a settled restore hold's warm sandbox to reuse (#20278)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Recovery tells a waiting parent or dependent when a child or blocker
stalls on the board (`issue_blocker_stalled`)
> - A legacy child that an older release bound to its parent's remote
workspace failed its save, and its save recovery was exhausted. Its
ended run still holds the shared workspace, days past the one-hour
holder cutoff
> - Workspace reservation refuses a run on such a hold and fails setup
with "The workspace still has an unfinished writer or save operation."
Every stall wake of the parent created a run that could only fail this
way
> - The stall sweep treated each failed run as an undelivered wake and
retried it every ten minutes, with no backoff and no limit. On staging
this made 72 failed runs (58 of 60 failures since a deploy), in pairs
every ten minutes
> - This pull request makes the stall sweep hold a wake while the
waiter's workspace hold refuses a run, and bounds retries of a wake
whose run fails
> - The benefit is that a held workspace no longer produces a failed run
every ten minutes, and the wake still arrives once the hold settles

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A parent task was woken by `issue_blocker_stalled` twice every ten
minutes. Each run failed in setup (`setup_failed`,
`executionRecovery.kind=bootstrap`, `providerWorkStarted=false`) with
"The workspace still has an unfinished writer or save operation." The
parent's remote workspace was held by a child's ended writer run whose
save recovery was exhausted
(`native_workspace_sync_out_retry_exhausted`, last failure
`agent_stop_unconfirmed`). The child shared the parent's workspace
because an older release created it before subtasks got their own
workspace (#19860).

**Expected behavior**
A wake that cannot start because its workspace is held must not create a
failed run every time. It should wait until the hold settles. Automatic
retries must be bounded.

**Root cause**
- `server/src/services/heartbeat/workspace-preparation.ts` rethrows
`RemoteWorkspaceWriterActiveError` as a setup failure when the ended
writer is silent past `WORKSPACE_BUSY_HOLDER_STALE_AFTER_MS`
(documented, intended).
- `server/src/services/recovery/blocker-stall-wakeups.ts` retried every
non-delivered wake row (including `failed`) after
`REFUSED_WAKE_RETRY_MS` (10 minutes) with no backoff and no limit, and
it did not check whether the waiter could start at all.

## What Changed

- `remote-workspace-writer-hold.ts`: add
`remoteWorkspaceHoldRefusesStart`, the one rule for a hold that
reservation refuses outright (unattributed writer, or a writer silent
past the cutoff with no live owner fence).
- `workspace-preparation.ts`: use that rule instead of an inline copy,
so reservation and wake senders cannot drift.
- `blocker-stall-wakeups.ts`: before waking a waiter, read its bound
remote workspace hold. When the hold refuses a run, do not wake it;
count it as deferred and re-check at most hourly. A workspace with an
unchanged-release baseline is left to reservation, which can release it.
- `blocker-stall-wakeups.ts`: a stall wake whose run failed is retried
after 10, then 20 minutes, and not after the third failed run. Refusals
(wake-on-demand off, agent paused) keep the 10-minute retry. A new stall
(new recovery action) wakes again.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: document both rules.

## Verification

- Red before the fix
(`server/src/__tests__/issue-blocker-stall-wakeups.test.ts`): 3 new
tests failed. The held-workspace test got a delivered wake; the backoff
test got a third wake 11 minutes after the second failure.
- Green after the fix: `npx vitest run
src/__tests__/issue-blocker-stall-wakeups.test.ts` passes 20/20.
- The new tests use the staging shape: a legacy `shared_workspace`
remote workspace owned by the parent, a child bound to it, the child's
failed native writer run ended four days ago with
`native_workspace_sync_out_retry_exhausted`, a dirty authority, and the
child's board-owned exhausted recovery action. They also prove that a
writer inside the cutoff still gets its wake (the run parks in a
workspace wait), and that the wake is delivered once the hold settles.
- Related suites pass: `heartbeat-remote-workspace-busy.test.ts`,
`heartbeat-dependency-scheduling.test.ts`,
`native-cancelled-workspace-preservation.test.ts`,
`src/modules/run-dispatch`.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server` passes.
- `pnpm verify` exits 2 because `doc/execution-semantics.md` is a global
CI input; required CI supplies the broad coverage.

## Risks

- Low. No schema or persisted-shape change. Saved state from the
previous release (existing wake rows, existing workspace authority) is
read as-is: earlier `failed` stall wake rows count toward the new
three-run limit, which stops the current loop at once after deploy.
- A parent whose workspace stays held is not woken for the stall until
the hold settles. The stall is still listed on its page and the child's
recovery action stays with the board.
- Not fixed here: the exhausted save hold itself is never settled
automatically (`agent_stop_unconfirmed` exhaustion in workspace
recovery), and legacy children that still share a parent's workspace are
not moved. Both touch workspace recovery code that is under concurrent
change and are left for a follow-up.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 6459488984 fix(native): open a remote replacement as a new runner after archiving the reattached one (#20242)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - After a restart, a remote (Daytona) run can resume by reattaching to
its surviving sandbox runner. If provider recovery fails and the
checkpoint allows it, the run opens a replacement provider session
instead.
> - Before a replacement, the executor archives the local controller
state and the remote session root as a continuity break, then opens a
new session.
> - On a reattach backend, the replacement still adopted the archived
runner and asked for its old authority, so it failed. The archive had
already moved the remote state, so the next retry could not verify the
runner and the issue waited 17 minutes on an unconfirmed stop.
> - Review showed that a reattach backend fixes many launch inputs once
at creation (runner binary, provider pack and companions, artifacts,
live-recovery mode, authority, spawn barrier), so resetting them after
the archive does not scale.
> - This pull request builds the replacement on a new backend for the
same run, created under a `bootstrap_incomplete` claim after the
archive, so every launch input resolves through the ordinary fresh path.
> - The benefit is that a failed reattach after a restart falls back to
a working replacement instead of a stuck issue.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
In restart-chaos Daytona K13 storm wave seed 9503, task t36 graded R1
(no rest within budget). A K2 drain suspended run a53dd948's sandbox
runner (pid 589) during startup. On restart the run claimed
`reattach_remote_runner`. The adopted runner authenticated and restored,
then its connection closed, and provider recovery failed. The runtime
opened a replacement: `provider.session.archive_before_replacement`
archived the local and remote state, then the replacement failed with
"PRP provider resume state is unavailable". The same-run retry at
10:25:50 then failed with `runner_remote_state_unavailable: exit=1` (the
remote `runner-state.json` had moved), and file preservation deferred on
`agent_stop_unconfirmed` until the wave ended.

**Expected behavior**
After the continuity archive, the replacement opens a new runner for
this run, as it does for every other claim kind.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a remote (Daytona) native run and restart the server so the run
claims `reattach_remote_runner`.
2. Make provider recovery fail on the adopted runner with a checkpoint
that allows replacement.
3. See the replacement open on the adopted runner's authority and fail
after the archive.

**Paperclip version or commit**
master at 465da4227a

## What Changed

- `native-session-executor.ts` `openReplacementSession`, on a
`reattach_remote_runner` backend: archives the continuity state (local
and remote, as before), then calls
`createRunnerdBackendWithinSessionClaim` for the same run with the claim
re-kinded to `bootstrap_incomplete` (minus `remote` and
`stagedAttachment`) and without warm recovery, and opens the replacement
on that backend. Root migration then quarantines the empty archived root
(the #20241 rule) and every launch input resolves fresh.
- A backend that adopts only through warm recovery (no claim to re-kind)
throws `native_runner_replacement_requires_fresh_launch` **before**
archiving, so its saved state stays intact.
- Tests: a classic Daytona reattach backend for `codex` and `acpx`
(Claude). The replacement comes from a second backend: the original
backend's `openSession` is never called, and the new transport has no
adopted runner, uses `turn-<runId>`/`item-<runId>`, has a new
still-pending spawn barrier, and (for `acpx`) carries the packaged
provider paths. The bundled-image replacement test now expects a new
backend and its own pack admission, not the recovered session's cold
admission.

## Verification

- Red before the fix: both new replacement tests fail on master. They
pass with the fix.
- `native-session-executor.test.ts`,
`native-recovered-owner-followup.test.ts`,
`native-harness-filesystem-independence-continuation.integration.test.ts`:
1,398 passed.
- `PAPERCLIP_TYPECHECK_LOW_MEMORY=1 pnpm typecheck` in `server`: passes.

## Risks

- Medium. The replacement now constructs a second backend inside the
same session claim. The new backend's tool-authority epoch supersedes
the reattach backend's, which is being abandoned anyway.
- A warm-recovery-only replacement now fails with a named error instead
of archiving and then failing. Its saved state stays intact for the next
recovery.
- Previous-release story: no saved state or schema changes.
- Not covered: why provider recovery on the suspended, adopted runner
failed in t36 in the first place. This PR makes the fallback work.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 3374ca54f5 fix(runner): record a runner exit mid-turn as runner loss, and stop the lineage sampler panicking (#20259)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The native runner (`runnerd`) runs each provider turn, and the
server records why a run stopped and what the person can do next
> - When `runnerd` exits during a provider turn, the server saved the
run as `native_provider_terminal_failed`: "The provider session is
permanently unusable", with automatic retries stopped
> - The real cause was the runner process, and the transport already
names it (`native_runner_process_exited`) at the start of the
closed-stream message
> - Separately, the process-lineage sampler added in #19727 panicked on
Linux debug builds when a provider tool started its own session, and
that panic text became the run's visible failure
> - This pull request records a runner exit mid-turn as runner loss, and
reads session IDs without the assertion that panicked
> - The benefit is that a person sees the true cause of a stopped run,
and recovery treats a lost runner like every other runner exit

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19727

**What happened**

A chat eval killed only the owned `runnerd` process (SIGKILL) while a
provider tool was running. The run failed with `errorCode:
native_provider_terminal_failed` and the next action "The provider
session is permanently unusable". The error text was `Notification
transport failed closed: native_runner_process_exited: runnerd exited
unexpectedly: paperclip-runnerd panic: panicked at
rustix-1.1.4/src/pid.rs:61:9: assertion failed: raw > 0`. The panic came
from the lineage sampler thread before the kill. It called
`rustix::process::getsid`, which asserts a nonzero session. A kernel
thread, or a process whose session leader is outside the PID namespace,
reports session 0.

**Expected behavior**

A runner process exit is recorded as `native_runner_process_exited`, the
same cause the server already uses for a runner exit outside a turn.
Recovery then applies its normal runner-loss rules (checkpoint evidence,
bounded attempts, cleanup quarantine). The lineage sampler does not
panic, and its diagnostics do not replace the real failure text.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a native OpenCode run on Linux with a debug `runnerd`.
2. Let the agent run a shell tool that starts its own session (for
example a long `node -e` command).
3. Send SIGKILL to the `runnerd` PID only.
4. Read `GET /api/heartbeat-runs/<runId>`: `errorCode` is
`native_provider_terminal_failed` and the error names the rustix panic.

## What Changed

- `nativeSessionFailureSourceCode` returns
`native_runner_process_exited` for a `NativeProviderTerminalFailure`
with code `notification_transport_failed` when its message starts with
`Notification transport failed closed: native_runner_process_exited: `.
Only the runner transport writes that prefix. Other closed-stream causes
stay `native_provider_terminal_failed`.
- `paperclip-process-table` has a new `session(pid)` function. Linux
reads the session field of `/proc/<pid>/stat`. macOS calls `getsid`. A
session of 0 or an error gives `None`.
- `process_lineage` reads sessions through
`paperclip_process_table::session` instead of rustix `getsid`.
- Regression tests: the runner-loss classification (attempts 1 and 3,
and three negative shapes), the stat session parser with a kernel-thread
line, and a live read of this process's session.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts -t "runner
process exit that closed|preserves stable provider and runner|model
rejection from a provider terminal|operator-owned through terminal"` (8
passed)
- `cd packages/paperclip-runner/runner && cargo test -p
paperclip-process-table` (macOS: 3 passed; the Linux-only parser tests
run in CI)
- `cd packages/paperclip-runner/runner && cargo test -p
paperclip-runner-core --lib process_lineage` (6 passed)
- End to end: the `recovery.*` chat eval cells that kill `runnerd` are
run against this change on a separate eval branch.

## Risks

- Behavior shift: a runner exit during a turn now follows runner-loss
recovery instead of stopping as a permanent provider failure. Recovery
still decides from durable evidence. Ambiguous state stays terminal, and
an unverified cleanup stays quarantined.
- Previous-release story: no persisted shape changes. Runs saved earlier
with `native_provider_terminal_failed` keep that code. Only new failures
are classified with the new rule.
- The session read on Linux now uses `/proc` instead of a syscall. It
gives the same value, and it reports 0 (now `None`) in the same cases.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 3f2a940d5b fix(runner): answer held Paperclip tool calls after a local restart before the next turn (#20227)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - When a restart interrupts a turn, the Runner keeps each Paperclip
tool call the model made as "held" until Paperclip answers it, and it
refuses to start the next turn while any call is held
> - Paperclip answers held calls after a reattach through its tool
recovery path. That path was wired only for remote runners
> - In restart chaos wave `w-20261109T084023-s9403`, t101 (local codex,
K2 then K1) held a `read_document` call that nothing answered, so the
continuation's `turn.start` failed and the task needed a Retry
> - This pull request wires held-call recovery for local runners too,
and makes `turn.start` answer or wait for held calls first
> - The benefit is that a turn lost to a restart no longer strands the
run behind one unanswered call

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19831. Restart chaos wave `w-20261109T084023-s9403` (master
`fc5c79a327`), task t101 (codex C1, K2, local).

**What happened:**
- Run `4b5810d5` called `read_document` (`exec-ac8fa9b4`) around the K2
drain at 09:08:18. A K1 then killed the next server start.
- At 09:08:36 the third controller reattached. The Runner restored the
conversation and reported the old turn lost
(`provider_turn_lost_on_restore`, recoverable). The held call stayed
pending, by design: a held call accepts a late result.
- The controller had the call: the quarantine detail lists
`exec-ac8fa9b4` under `semanticTools.pending`. But
`recoverPendingSemanticInputs()` returned at once: for a local run
`controllerPersistence` is unset, so `recoverSemanticToolInput` was
`undefined`.
- At 09:08:46 the continuation's `turn.start` failed with "cannot
prepare the next provider turn while tool calls are active (pending: 1
[read_document:exec-ac8fa9b4…])". The run ended
`native_session_interrupted`.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.ts`: the
runnerd transport now always gets `recoverSemanticToolInput`, not only
when `controllerPersistence` (remote) is set. It uses the same epoch
check and `SessionAuthorityEpoch.recover`. Recovery re-authorizes and
re-runs reads, and replays receipts for mutations; it never repeats an
uncertain mutation.
- `packages/paperclip-runner/src/live/runnerd-codex-transport.ts`
(`#startTurnWork`): when the control plane has unsettled semantic
inputs, it runs `recoverPendingSemanticInputs()` before queueing
`turn.start`, and waits for that pass, bounded by the turn-start
deadline. Recovered results are queued as commands ahead of
`turn.start`, and the Runner applies commands in order. If recovery has
not finished by the deadline, the turn start fails with
`native_turn_start_held_tool_calls_unresolved` instead of sending
`turn.start` behind it. When everything is settled there is no wait, so
a normal turn start is unchanged. Live calls of a turn being replaced
are not waited on; the replaced start still rejects them.
-
`packages/paperclip-runner/src/control-plane/durable-prp-control-plane.ts`:
`recoverPendingSemanticInputs()` passes are serialized. A call made
while the startup pass is still answering a held call waits for that
pass, then runs its own, so the turn-start gate cannot finish early by
skipping a call that is already being recovered.

## Verification

Red/green:
- `native-session-executor.test.ts` "answers a local run's held
Paperclip tool calls after a restart (restart chaos t101)". On master
`recoverSemanticToolInput` is `undefined` for a local run; with this PR
it is wired.
- `runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts` "answers a held call before starting
the next turn (restart chaos t101)", against real runnerd and fake
Codex, with a slow startup recovery pass already in flight when
`turn/start` arrives. On master `turn/start` never ran recovery, and
without the serialization `turn.start` is queued before the held call's
result. With this PR the held call is recovered once and its result is
queued before `turn.start`.

Regression and static checks:
- `runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts`,
`durable-prp-control-plane.test.ts`,
`runnerd-codex-transport-adoption.test.ts`: 510 passed.
- `native-session-executor.test.ts` and `native-session-resume.test.ts`:
1368 passed, 1 failed. The failing case, "archives a damaged prior epoch
… with real runnerd", fails identically on master on this Mac (`ENOENT …
authority-epochs`), so CI is its reference.
- `tsc --noEmit` passes for `packages/paperclip-runner` and `server`.

## Risks

- Local runs now recover held calls after a reattach, as remote runs
already did. Reads re-run under current authority. A mutation without a
saved receipt still returns no result and stays held, as before.
- `turn.start` may now wait up to its existing deadline while a recovery
pass runs, then fails clearly if it has not finished. It never waits
when nothing is unsettled, so normal turns get no added latency before
`turn.start`.
- No schema change and no change to persisted run state formats.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 3964ee1fca fix(native): a governance pause Stop with no turn result stays a cancellation (#20186)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A budget hard stop pauses the company; the pause's lifecycle Stop
cancels the agents' running native turns
> - When a Codex turn is interrupted this way, it ends without a
semantic result
> - The native executor treated that missing result as a retryable
interruption, so it rewrote the cancelled run to `failed` and scheduled
an exact resume
> - The pause held that recovery, and Raise budget and resume continues
only runs that are still cancelled, so the task stayed blocked with no
new run
> - This pull request makes the executor treat an acknowledged
governance pause Stop like a person's Stop: the run stays cancelled
> - The benefit is that Raise budget and resume continues the task
(#20144), with no manual Retry

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20144 (resume continues budget-stopped work), #20143 (governance
pause stops are not failures), #20113

**What happened?**
Restart-chaos wave w-20261109T051242-s9802 (H1, seed 9802), task t03
(Codex, fault K2). The company budget crossed its hard limit at
05:19:39.9. The pause's lifecycle Stop ("Agent lifecycle stop
requested") cancelled run 59e976bc at 05:19:40.05, and Codex
acknowledged the interrupt. The turn ended without a semantic result,
and at 05:19:41.27 the executor rewrote the run to `failed` /
`native_session_interrupted`, with an agent-owned `active_run_watchdog`
recovery (exact checkpoint resume). The task went to `blocked`. After
`raise_budget_and_resume` at 05:20:20, no run started for 14 minutes.

**Expected behavior**
A pause's Stop is intentional. The run stays cancelled with its pause
record, and resuming continues the task once.

**Steps to reproduce**
Pause a company for budget while a Codex native turn runs, so the Stop
interrupts the turn before it records a result. Before this change, the
run becomes `failed` with a scheduled exact resume instead of staying
`cancelled`.

## What Changed

- `native-session-executor.ts`: the no-semantic-result branch now also
accepts an acknowledged governance pause Stop (`isGovernancePauseStop`
with an acknowledged native Stop receipt) as an intentional stop. It
settles the coordinator as `native_retry_cancelled` and raises
`NativeCancellationPendingRecoveryError`, as it already does for a
person's Stop and for a reassignment. The run is not rewritten to
`failed`, and no recovery action is created.
- The Stop's cancellation record is written by its fence before
dispatch, so the check does not depend on whether the terminal write has
landed.

## Verification

- `native-session-executor.test.ts`: new cases for "Agent lifecycle stop
requested" with a `pauseStop`, and for "Cancelled due to budget pause".
Each was red before the fix (it reached the retryable-failure write) and
is green now. A control case shows that a system lifecycle Stop without
`pauseStop` (termination) still takes the retry path.
- Full `native-session-executor.test.ts`: 1309 passed. Server typecheck
(`typecheck-layers`, low-memory): no errors.
- Not run: the H1 chaos rerun. Phase 3 runs it after merge.

## Risks

- A governance pause Stop that lands during a turn no longer schedules
an exact resume of that turn. The task continues on resume through a new
Retry (#20144) instead.
- Termination and cleanup use the same lifecycle Stop reason. They are
excluded because only the pausing path records `pauseStop`.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 fa7950121d fix(native): move an interrupted bootstrap's session aside on the run's own created sandbox lease (#20154)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - When restart recovery proves a remote bootstrap reached no provider
work, it bootstraps the same run again in the same sandbox. Before
relaunching, it stops the interrupted runner (#20103)
> - The relaunch starts a fresh controller record, whose command ids
restart at `command_prp_00000001`. The sandbox still held the
interrupted runner's journal, which had already recorded that command id
with different data
> - The relaunched runnerd rejected it ("commandId was reused with
different command data") and exited while waiting for `run.prepare`.
Every same-run retry collided the same way until the retry budget ran
out and the task blocked
> - The proven interrupted-bootstrap session move (#20103) ran only for
a resumed lease. A same-run retry on a per-turn sandbox reuses the run's
own created lease, so nothing moved the interrupted session aside
> - This pull request applies that same proof-gated session move on the
run's own created lease
> - The benefit is that a same-run bootstrap retry starts its runner on
a clean journal, and the old journal is kept as evidence

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20103

**What happened?**
Daytona per-turn restart-chaos M1 rerun w-20261109T013733-s9501 (master
8e3b64a257, image 34bc12bf):
- **t10 (codex M1):** the codex subtask's run `f8a8f483` went through
eleven same-run bootstrap retries between 01:56 and 02:07.
- Each relaunched runnerd logged `paperclip-runnerd: commandId was
reused with different command data` and exited about 12 s later while
waiting for `run.prepare`.
- The run then failed `native_session_retry_exhausted` ("Provider
startup failed on 3 attempts before any provider work began"). The
subtask blocked, and so did the parent.
- **t02:** the same "runnerd exited while waiting for run.prepare"
pattern appeared on retry run `2e13568f`.

**Expected behavior**
A same-run bootstrap retry moves the interrupted session aside, keeping
it as a `.bootstrap-restart-<time>-<uuid>` sibling, and claims a fresh
session root before relaunching. The relaunched runner then cannot see
the interrupted attempt's command ids. This already happened on a
resumed lease and now also happens on the run's own created lease.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Let a remote bootstrap reach the runner (it journals
`command_prp_00000001`), then restart before any provider work.
2. Recovery bootstraps the same run again in the same sandbox. Before
this change, the relaunched runnerd sees the old journal, rejects the
reused command id and exits, and every retry repeats this.

**Paperclip version or commit**
8e3b64a257 (wave). Branch rebased on current master.

## What Changed

- `native-session-executor.ts`: the created-lease branch of remote
harness preparation now applies the resumed branch's proven restart. It
runs when all of these hold:
  - the session is `not_suspended` and belongs to this run;
  - there is no backup;
  - the claim is `bootstrap_incomplete`;
- the stale-runner stop proved the interrupted runner gone
(`hasRemoteBootstrapRestartProof`).

It then runs `moveInterruptedBootstrapSessionAside` and
`claimUntouchedRemoteSession`. If the move or the claim fails, it throws
`runner_harness_state_mismatch: created_not_suspended` and changes
nothing.
- An earlier revision of this PR archived only the `runner` directory.
Review showed that would leave a session the existing claim cannot
reopen on a resumed lease, so that revision was replaced.
- On a fresh command namespace: moving the session aside removes every
id the relaunched runner could see, so a separate namespace isn't
needed. It would also change the persisted command id format that saved
controller state depends on.
- `native-session-executor.test.ts`: the existing "bootstraps only an
untouched provider session" matrix runs the real move and claim scripts
against a temporary filesystem. It gains two created-lease cases:
- an interrupted bootstrap: the old session is kept as a sibling and a
fresh root is claimed;
  - a symlinked parent: refused, and nothing moves.

## Verification

- Red/green: both created-lease cases fail on master and pass with the
change. The resumed cases from #20103 are unchanged: 42 cases in the
matrix pass.
- `vitest run` over the restart-recovery and bootstrap test files and
`native-session-executor.test.ts`: 7 files, 1540 tests passed (14
skipped).
- `PAPERCLIP_TYPECHECK_LOW_MEMORY=1 pnpm typecheck` (`server`): passed.
- The collision itself happens in runnerd (the production log shows it
on every retry). The live check is a Daytona per-turn K2/K4 rerun.

## Risks

- Low risk. The move reuses the resumed path's proof gates, its symlink
checks and its whole-session move, which keeps the session and never
deletes it. The new branch acts only when every gate holds; otherwise
preparation continues exactly as before.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 6451d2bfbf fix(native): verify a staged attachment restart on the claimed sandbox lease (#20136)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A follow-up codex run on a per-turn Daytona sandbox gets a fresh
sandbox, with harness state restored from the previous turn's
checkpoint, and attaches the previous runner session to the new run
through a staged attachment
> - A graceful restart during that start suspends the run. The next
controller reattaches to the surviving remote runner, after proving it
is on the sandbox lease the restart claim names
> - The staged-attachment path required the lease to have been acquired
as `resumed`. A per-turn follow-up's lease is `created`, so every such
restart was refused with
`native_runner_staged_attachment_recovery_unproven`
> - The run then needed a Retry
> - This pull request binds the staged restart to the claimed lease the
same way the ordinary remote reattach does: same provider lease, same
remote directory, and not a replacement sandbox
> - The benefit is that a per-turn follow-up interrupted by a restart
continues on its own

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20103

**What happened?**
Daytona per-turn restart-chaos wave w-20261108T225520-s9501 (master
15b987d9b8, image cbbe8224). Two codex C1 follow-up runs, created during
a K2 graceful drain at 23:11:45, were suspended mid-start:
- `4d1d3563` (t07);
- `71b43ea1` (t08).

Two to three seconds after the controller came back, both failed with
`native_runner_staged_attachment_recovery_unproven`, rested in
`native_continuation_requires_reconciliation`, and needed a Retry. The
stack shows the first guard in `verifyStagedAttachmentRestart`. Both
runs' environment leases were acquired with
`sandboxLeaseAcquisition.outcome: "created"`, because per-turn mode
creates a fresh sandbox for each turn. The guard accepted only
`"resumed"`.

**Expected behavior**
When the restart claim's provider lease and remote directory match the
run's own lease, the staged attachment's restart is verified as before,
and the run continues without a Retry. The rest of the staged proof is
unchanged. A replacement sandbox, or a different provider lease or
directory, is still refused.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a codex follow-up on a per-turn Daytona environment, so the lease
is `created` and the start stages an attachment.
2. Gracefully restart the control plane during the start.
3. Before this change, the restarted run fails with
`native_runner_staged_attachment_recovery_unproven`.

**Paperclip version or commit**
15b987d9b8 (wave). Branch rebased on current master.

## What Changed

- `verifyStagedAttachmentRestart` (`native-session-executor.ts`) no
longer requires `sandboxLeaseAcquisition.outcome === "resumed"`. It
requires the same lease binding as `verifyRemoteRunnerReattachment`:
- the target's provider lease equals the claim's
`remote.providerLeaseId`;
  - the target's remote directory equals the claim's `remoteCwd`;
  - the lease is not a `replacement` sandbox.
- A new test case in `native-session-executor.test.ts` covers a created
sandbox (admitted), a replacement sandbox, another provider lease, and
another remote directory (all refused).

## Verification

- Red/green: on master, the created-sandbox case fails with
`native_runner_staged_attachment_recovery_unproven`. With the change it
reaches the staged recheck. The three refusal cases are refused on both.
- `vitest run` of `native-session-executor.test.ts` and
`native-restart-recovery-isolation.test.ts`: 2 files, 1305 tests passed.
- `PAPERCLIP_TYPECHECK_LOW_MEMORY=1 pnpm typecheck` (`server`): passed.

## Risks

- Low risk. The check now matches the ordinary remote reattach, which
already admits created leases. Everything after it is unchanged: the
encrypted staged header, the source run and result, the template digest,
and the remote runner identity are all still proven before any RPC.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 776f4cb602 fix(native): restart an interrupted remote bootstrap on a resumed reusable lease (t06) (#20103)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A native run on a remote sandbox must survive a control-plane
restart; a bootstrap interrupted before its first turn is restarted on
the same run
> - With a reusable (warm) sandbox lease, the restart always resumes the
same sandbox. The interrupted runner's state is still on disk there:
never suspended, and with no provider turn
> - The resumed check accepted only a suspended checkpoint or no state
at all, so it failed closed with `resumed_not_suspended`, and the task
needed a Retry (restart chaos t06)
> - The pre-phase had already proven no turn was sent and had stopped
the stale runner, but that proof never reached the resumed check
> - This pull request carries that proof forward, for this run only, and
starts the bootstrap again on the resumed sandbox
> - The benefit is that a warm task interrupted during startup continues
on its own after the restart

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
In restart-chaos wave w-20261108T192459-s9501 (Daytona warm, claude C1),
run 9bf86b59's runner reached transport-ready at 19:37:42 UTC. The
control plane was then down (another task's K4, then this task's K1).
Restart recovery classified the run `bootstrap_incomplete` and restarted
it on the same run at 19:41:51. The reusable lease resumed the same
sandbox. `inspectRemoteHarnessState` found this run's runner state with
`lifecycle` other than `suspended`, and the run failed at 19:41:59 with
`runner_ingress_unavailable: runnerd process failed:
runner_harness_state_mismatch: resumed_not_suspended`. The task needed a
manual Retry. Per-turn and non-reusable leases do not resume, so they
take another branch and were unaffected.

**Expected behavior**
A same-run restart of a bootstrap that provably sent no turn starts the
bootstrap again on the resumed sandbox, with no Retry. It must never
take over a live provider session or another run's warm session.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a task on a reusable (warm) Daytona lease.
2. Kill the control plane after the runner connected and before the
first turn, so the run is `bootstrap_incomplete`.
3. Before this change, the restart fails with `resumed_not_suspended` on
the resumed lease.

**Paperclip version or commit**
master at d007afbf86 (the wave ran on c5a172a183).

## What Changed

- `native-session-executor.ts`:
- **Pre-phase:** the `bootstrap_incomplete` remote-sandbox pre-phase
clears any earlier proof for the run, then records a per-run proof
(`recordRemoteBootstrapRestartProof`). It records one only for a
confirmed stop:
    - `absent_confirmed`: verification reported `process_not_running`;
    - `stopped` or `killed`: the exit was confirmed after the signal.

An uncertain probe or a runner that outlives SIGKILL records nothing
(`stopStaleRemoteRunnerBeforeBootstrap` now distinguishes these
outcomes).
- **Inspection:** `inspectRemoteHarnessState` also returns the `runId`
of a not-suspended runner state (`notSuspendedRunId`). Its other fields
are unchanged.
- **Resumed check:** on a `bootstrap_incomplete` restart, a
not-suspended state with no backup is restarted only when all of these
hold:
    - the on-disk state is this run's own;
    - the proof is present;
- the interrupted session folder moved aside by rename, kept as evidence
and never deleted. The runtime root, the sessions parent and the folder
must each be a real, non-symlink directory.

    The proof is consumed only after the move succeeds.

It then claims a fresh session through the existing
`claimUntouchedRemoteSession`, which still requires an unconnected
controller with matching identity.
- Every other case keeps `runner_harness_state_mismatch:
resumed_not_suspended`.

## Verification

- Red/green: a new resumed-lease scenario, `interrupted_bootstrap`, in
"bootstraps only an untouched provider session in a $outcome workspace
lease". It fails without the change and passes with it. It checks that
the old session folder is kept beside the new claim and that the claim
runs exactly once.
- Counter-cases that still fail closed, with nothing moved aside:
`interrupted_bootstrap_other_run` (a previous warm run's state on disk),
`interrupted_bootstrap_unproven` (no pre-phase proof) and
`interrupted_bootstrap_symlink_parent` (a symlinked sessions parent).
The existing warm "no-proof" case keeps `resumed_not_suspended`.
- Stale-runner stop: "does not confirm absence when the process probe is
uncertain", "reports a runner that outlives SIGKILL as not stopped", and
"records a bootstrap restart proof only for a confirmed stop" (one case
per outcome).
- `pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts`
(server): 2 files, 1440 tests passed (14 skipped).
- `PAPERCLIP_TYPECHECK_LOW_MEMORY=1 pnpm typecheck` (server): passed.

## Risks

- **Taking over a live session:** this is the risk to watch. It is
bounded by every gate together: the `bootstrap_incomplete` claim, the
pre-phase proof from the restored controller record (no turn sent) with
the stale runner stopped, this run's own on-disk state, no backup, the
folder move, and the existing unconnected-controller claim. A failure at
any step keeps the current fail-closed error.
- **Upgrade safety:** the old runner's session folder is kept by rename,
never deleted. The change applies only to state a restart left behind,
so old-saved state takes the same gated path.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 d007afbf86 fix(native): let a follow-up wait out the previous turn's warm release instead of failing busy (#20068)
## Thinking Path

- With a warm lifecycle, one session serves consecutive turns on a task.
A follow-up comment wakes the next run, which claims the warm session's
instruction copy and reuses the session.
- #20048 makes warm the default on remote sandboxes. Its merge condition
includes "no restart or follow-up ever leaves a task needing Retry".
- In the #20048 Daytona chaos wave, task t12's follow-up run was created
43 ms after the previous run settled. The previous run was still
releasing its warm session, so `claimWarmNativeInstructionCopy` saw it
busy and failed the run with `native_session_supervisor_busy`. The task
then needed a Retry.
- The release takes seconds and always finishes, so a follow-up should
wait for it rather than fail. A session busy because another run is
preparing or executing a turn is a genuine conflict and must still fail
at once, as existing tests require.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20048

**What happened?**
Wave w-20261108T142906-s9501, t12 (claude, warm): run 5b839da4 succeeded
at 14:46:36.224. The follow-up run f2bf2f05 was created at 36.267 and
failed immediately with `adapter_failed` /
`native_session_supervisor_busy`, from `claimWarmNativeInstructionCopy`
called by `instruction-working-copy.prepare`. Its automatic retry also
failed, and only a user Retry completed the task.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a warm native session turn to completion.
2. While that run is still releasing its warm session (post-turn
instruction check, release, hand-back), admit the next run on the same
session.
3. The next run's instruction-copy claim throws
`native_session_supervisor_busy`.

**Expected behavior**
The follow-up waits for the previous run's release (bounded) and reuses
the session. A session held by a run that is still preparing or
executing fails admission at once, as before.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.ts`:
- When the provider turn ends, the executor records the session scope as
settling (`settlingNativeSessionScopes`). The outer `finally` clears the
mark once the run has handed every scope back.
- `claimWarmNativeInstructionCopy` waits, polling every 25 ms for at
most 30 s (`warmSessionReleaseWait`), while the warm entry is busy and
its scope is settling. It then re-reads the entry and runs the existing
checks. If the entry is still busy at the deadline, or busy for any
other reason, it throws `native_session_supervisor_busy` as before.
- No wait happens on the normal path (entry idle), so turn admission
adds no latency.
- `server/src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts`:
two cases.
- A follow-up claimed while the previous turn's post-turn check is held:
it waits, then succeeds once the release finishes. It fails on master
with the wave's error.
  - The release outlasts the bound: it fails busy.

**Previous-release state:** the change touches only in-memory admission
state, so no saved run or session state changes.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts
src/services/heartbeat/instruction-working-copy.test.ts`: 1301/1301
pass.
- With the wait removed (behaviour on master), the "release finishes"
case fails with `native_session_supervisor_busy`.
- The existing concurrency tests ("fences owned instruction preparation:
concurrent", and the settled-release ownership tests) still fail
admission at once.
- Not yet covered: the Daytona warm wave rerun for #20048.

## Risks

- **A wait that never ends.** The wait is bounded at 30 s and happens
only while the owner is past its turn, which always reaches the outer
`finally`. Every caller of the inner executor runs inside that `try`,
and attachment staging keeps the same session scope.
- **Hiding a real conflict.** Only a settling owner is waited for. A
preparing or executing owner fails at once, as the existing tests
assert.
- **Scope.** I tried a similar wait at execution admission, but it
conflicted with deliberate fences that reject a run during a settled
release (the existing "releases settled codex only under its current
owner" tests). It is not part of this PR.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 b32ef9f111 perf(budgets): judge time to first visible agent activity; keep time to first text as a reported metric (#20077)
## Thinking Path

- The native speed budgets (plan invariant 8) judge how fast an agent
responds. They judged `task.time_to_first_token`: time to the first
deliverable **text**.
- In the clean local restart storm (w-20261108T153612-s9401), Claude
breached its TTFT budget (cold p50/p95 17.4/34.7 s against 16.5/30). The
per-run spans showed this was not a control-plane wait: in all 49 cold
runs (and 76% of warm), Claude started a tool call before writing any
text. Its first visible activity came at 7.4 s p50 from run creation;
first text came at 19.6 s. Codex never calls a tool first.
- So first text charges model tool work as latency for tool-first
adapters. What the user experiences as "the agent responded" is the
first visible activity: a text delta, a tool-call start, or a thinking
indicator.
- The coordinator decided: budgets judge time to first visible agent
activity from run creation, with the budget numbers unchanged; first
text stays a reported metric with no budget for tool-first adapters.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
Local storm s9401: the Claude TTFT budget breached on every aggregate,
while the control-plane steps (queue 0.05 s, prepare 0.3 s, runner
startup ~4 s, first provider event 1.3–1.8 s) were well within budget.
The rest of the first-text wait was Claude streaming tool input (about
5.5 s per call) and running tools before it wrote text.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a Claude task whose first action is a tool call (most real
tasks).
2. Read the run log: `provider.time_to_first_agent_event` ends at the
tool call; `task.time_to_first_token` ends many seconds later at the
first text.
3. The speed budget judges the later one and reports a breach.

**Expected behavior**
The budget judges the first visible agent activity from run creation
(`task.time_to_first_agent_activity`). Time to first text is still
recorded and reported.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.ts`: when
the first meaningful agent event commits (the existing
`firstMeaningfulAgentEventKind`: text delta, tool-call start, or
reasoning), record `task.time_to_first_agent_activity`. It uses the same
detached anchor resolution as TTFT (accepted comment, answered question,
durable wake request, or run creation), so it adds nothing to the turn
path.
- `server/src/services/native-runtime/native-speed-budgets.ts`: the
metric is now named `time_to_first_activity` (was `ttft`), with
identical budget numbers. The type comment documents the definition and
why first text is unbudgeted.
- `server/src/services/native-runtime/native-run-trace.ts`: the budget
check judges `task.time_to_first_agent_activity` from run creation,
keeping the existing input-wait handling. `task.time_to_first_token` is
no longer budgeted.
- `tests/restart-chaos/ttft-baseline-stats.ts` and `ttft-baseline.ts`:
report first activity from run creation (the budgeted value) next to
TTFT.
- Docs: `doc/observability.md` (new span) and
`doc/plans/2026-11-07-ttft-baseline.md` (metric table).
- Tests:
- A tool-first turn records first activity at the tool call (5 s) while
TTFT records first text (16 s).
- A tool-first trace with slow first text but fast first activity is
within budget.
  - The existing budget tests now judge the activity span.

Observability path (AGENTS.md section 5.7): the new run-log span uses
only the existing `eventKind` and `anchor` attributes. Its name survives
run-log redaction intact; checked with `redactEventPayload`. The
operator OTLP gate is unchanged. It is not Telemetry.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-speed-budgets.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-run-trace.test.ts`: 44/44 pass.
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts -t "first
visible activity|first assistant text once|first-token timing"`: 7/7
pass.
- `npx vitest run --root tests/restart-chaos`: 159/159 pass; `tsc` on
`tests/restart-chaos` is clean.

## Risks

- **A metric rename.** Consumers of `run.performance.budget_exceeded`
see `metric: "time_to_first_activity"` instead of `"ttft"`. In-repo
there are none besides the tests; Phase 3's chaos speed grade switches
to the new span.
- **A looser budget for slow first text.** Intentional: first text is
reported, not judged. A regression in control-plane latency still shows
up in first activity.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 c910651115 fix(native): start each rebound run with a fresh restart-continuation marker (#20053)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - When the control plane restarts during an agent turn, the runner
restores the same conversation. A Codex, Claude (ACPX) or OpenCode turn
lost in the restart is marked `provider_turn_lost_on_restore`, and the
run continues it once in the same conversation
> - That one continuation is guarded by a disposition-only recovery
marker in the session checkpoint. It is run state: it names a turn of
the run that used it
> - A follow-up run (a user comment on the same task) reuses the
provider session by re-binding the previous run's checkpoint to the new
run. Re-binding clears the run-scoped turn, result and request state,
but it kept the marker
> - The chaos K13 storm (wave w-20261108T134237-s9401) hit this three
times (t24 and t45 on Claude, t77 on Codex). The task's first run had
already used its restart continuation. The follow-up run inherited a
spent marker naming a turn it never had, so when a restart lost its own
turn, the driver kept the session closed. The run failed, and the user
had to click Retry
> - This pull request resets the marker at both re-bind sites, as for
every other run-scoped field
> - The benefit is that a restart during a follow-up turn continues on
its own instead of putting a Retry click on the user

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19831 (durable ownership plan, restart continuation). Found by the
restart chaos campaign. In all three failed follow-up runs:

- After `resume_dead_runner`, the run emitted `turn.failed {code:
provider_turn_lost_on_restore, recoverable: true}` for its own active
turn.
- The checkpoint still carried `dispositionOnlyRecoveryConsumed: true`,
with `dispositionOnlyRecoveryTurnId` set to the previous run's
continuation turn.

## What Changed

- `native-session-resume.ts` (`rebindNativeSessionCheckpoint`) and
`native-session-executor.ts` (warm checkpoint rebind): a rebound run
starts with `dispositionOnlyRecoveryConsumed: false` and
`dispositionOnlyRecoveryTurnId: null`.
- Nothing changes inside a run: the driver's reopen rule
(`mapTerminalTurn`) and `nativeRestartInterruptedTurnId` are untouched.
The first commit changed the helper; review found the driver keeps its
own copy of the rule, and the second commit reverts the helper in favour
of this fix.

## Verification

- `native-session-resume.test.ts` "retains provider identity but clears
prior turn and event state" now seeds a spent marker on the previous
run. It fails on `master` and passes here.
- `native-session-executor.test.ts` "starts a new run's usage from the
prior run's total when a warm checkpoint resumes" (3 cases) seeds the
first run's checkpoint with a spent marker and asserts that the second
run starts with it reset. It fails on `master` and passes here.
- The other `native-session-resume.test.ts` tests pass. One test,
"archives a damaged prior epoch before completing guarded same-task
replacement with real runnerd", fails locally identically with and
without this change (ENOENT under `authority-epochs`, from the
real-runnerd environment). It's left to CI.
- Next: a targeted chaos rerun (Codex and Claude C1 under repeated K2)
on this branch. I'll add the result here.

## Risks

- **Previous-release story (upgrade-safe run state):** no persisted
shape changes. A run re-bound by this build gets a fresh marker. A run
re-bound before the deploy, still in flight with an inherited spent
marker, behaves as before: a lost turn falls back to Retry, once.
- Inside a run, nothing changes: the marker still bounds same-run
continuations, together with the provider-attempt restart budget.

execution in Claude Code.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 f6cb3e43f4 fix(admission): admit new work independent of other runs' cleanup and accounting (#19944)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Budget admission decides if new agent work can start in a company
> - Five admission gates waited on the cleanup or accounting of other
runs
> - The restart-chaos campaign found that these gates froze companies
for up to 10 minutes, caused false budget pauses, denied in-run writes,
and dropped wakes, comments and Retries
> - The durable ownership plan (Decision 1) removes the company-wide
accounting gate. It does not narrow it again
> - This pull request removes the five gates. Unfinished accounting now
adds its bounded estimate to exposure
> - The benefit is that one run's unsettled accounting never stops the
other work in its company

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19831 (plan, section D), #19838 (inventory, finding 3), #19927
(Phase 2 reconciler data), #19497, #19724, #19826.

**What happened?**
Admission refused new work in these cases, with no reached hard stop and
no pause:
- a terminal run awaited accounting (`waitingRunCount`);
- a native run recovered its accounting (`recoveringRunCount`);
- a budget-owned scope hold awaited reconciliation, after the hard stop
no longer applied;
- a budget input was older than 15 s (`budget_evaluation_work`);
- the predecessor run row of a task was missing (`hasPendingRunCleanup`
failed closed).

**Expected behavior**
Admission never waits on the cleanup or accounting of another run. Only
a reached hard stop, an explicit pause or an inactive company refuses
new work (invariant 3).

**Steps to reproduce**
Make a company with an active budget policy. Leave one failed run with
`cost_accounting_pending = true`. Request work for another agent. On
`master` admission refuses with "Company cannot start work while
completed runs await accounting."

## What Changed

- `budgets.ts`: admission refuses only for a reached hard stop or an
explicit pause. The code removes `observedBlocks`, the
`recoveringRunCount` check, the stale `budgetHeld` refusal and the 15 s
input-age gate. It also removes the unused
`inspectInvocationEligibility`. `reconcileScope` no longer returns
accounting holds.
- `budget-exposure.ts`: removes the `waiting` and `recovering`
aggregates and the own-task subquery. The admission query is smaller.
Unfinished accounting stays exposure: the larger of the held reservation
and the observed cost.
- `budget-evaluation-work.ts`: removes `oldestBudgetInputAt`, which
nothing reads now.
- `execution-blocker.ts`: `hasPendingRunCleanup` returns false for a
missing run row. A run row that is deleted removes its finalization
coordinator and nulls its lease references, so the row owns nothing. A
predecessor that owns a lease or a coordinator still holds the successor
of its own task.
- `recovery/ownership-invariant-report.ts`: the I3 check no longer
mirrors the removed gate. It reports a wake request or a run that was
refused with an accounting-hold reason. Any such report is a regression.
- `doc/SPEC-implementation.md`: adds the product rule "Admission is
independent of cleanup and accounting". `doc/execution-semantics.md` is
aligned.

## Verification

- New `server/src/__tests__/admission-independent-of-cleanup.test.ts`,
on embedded Postgres. It has one case per gate. All six cases fail on
`master` and pass here. A seventh case (an explicit pause still refuses)
passes on both. One case also asserts invariant 3 together with
exposure: two failed runs that each hold a 400-cent reservation fill a
1000-cent budget, and a hard stop still refuses.
- Existing tests that asserted the old gates now assert admission
(invariants 3 and 4): `closed-native-receipt-accounting`,
`budgets-service`, `budget-evaluation-work`,
`heartbeat-held-comment-wake`, `ownership-reconciliation-report`. In
`heartbeat-held-comment-wake`, each saved comment, Retry, assignment and
continuation is delivered exactly once while another run's accounting is
pending. Settling accounting later does not deliver it again.
- All six files pass locally, one file per process. The server package
typecheck passes.
- Speed: admission is on the turn path. This change only removes work
from it: two correlated aggregates, one own-task subquery and one
`budget_evaluation_work` read per policy. No wait or I/O is added before
`turn.start`.
- Not run here: the chaos waves (K13 storm, K6 crash loop, K4 long
holds). The coordinating session schedules them on the shared harness.

## Risks

- Behavior change: work starts while accounting for other runs settles.
Spend stays bounded by the reservation capacity check and the hard stop,
which read the ledger plus observed cost. A run that has no reservation
and no observed cost adds zero exposure until its charge commits. This
is the gap that Decision 1 accepts. Budget enforcement was already best
effort (SPEC 11.6).
- A budget-owned pause with no reached hard stop no longer refuses work
in budget admission. The paused company or agent is still refused by the
existing pause checks until the budget worker lifts the pause.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 0189fedffc fix(native): bound an idle warm local runner whose controller died (#19879)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A warm runner (`lifecycleMode: warm`) keeps runnerd alive between
runs so a follow-up turn starts fast. The follow-up default flip (next
PR) makes warm the default for local Codex and OpenCode agents.
> - The controller owns a warm runner's idle window. Runnerd ignores the
idle timeout itself.
> - A graceful controller shutdown suspends idle warm sessions. A
controller that dies (SIGKILL, crash) does not. Local runners launch
with no process reconnect grace, so the idle runner kept running until
its 1-hour connection lease ran out, owned by nobody.
> - This pull request gives warm local runners the 7-minute reconnect
grace that remote runners already use.
> - The benefit: idle runners are reaped by proof within a bounded time,
never left orphaned, before warm becomes the default.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19874 (warm completion contract), #19846 (TTFT baseline), #19852.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Ownership of an idle warm local runner after its controller dies.

**Current behavior**
`runnerProcessReconnectGraceMs` is `undefined` for local targets, so
runnerd launches without `--reconnect-grace-ms`. An idle warm runner
whose controller was killed stays alive until its connection lease (one
hour) expires. The restart-chaos harness cannot show this: its K1 kills
the controller's whole process tree, runner included.

**Proposed behavior**
`localRunnerProcessReconnectGraceMs(policy)` returns the remote grace (7
minutes) for a warm policy and `undefined` for per-turn. After the
grace, runnerd records `transport_reconnect_grace_exceeded`, stops its
provider, keeps durable state and exits. The next run resumes cold.

**Reason and benefit**
The restart plan requires idle runners to be reaped by proof, never
orphaned. Seven minutes is far longer than a controller restart (13–20 s
locally) and the long-outage fault holds (3–5 minutes), so a live turn
still reattaches.

## What Changed

- `native-runner-recovery-contract.ts`:
`localRunnerProcessReconnectGraceMs`.
- `native-session-executor.ts`: the local runnerd transport passes it as
`runnerProcessReconnectGraceMs`. Remote targets keep `null`
(lease-owned).
- `runnerd-warm-idle-orphan.test.ts` (new): real runnerd and fake Codex.
An idle warm runner, after its turn completed, whose controller
detaches.
- `doc/DEVELOPING.md`: the grace and its bound.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec vitest run
src/live/runnerd-warm-idle-orphan.test.ts`: with a process grace, the
idle runner exits with `transport_reconnect_grace_exceeded` and the next
transport resumes the same provider session cold. With no grace (`null`,
today's local launch), the runner is still alive after the controller
left.
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-recovery-contract.test.ts`:
warm gets the remote grace; per-turn keeps none; the grace outlasts a
controller restart and a long outage.
- `tsc --noEmit` passes for `server` and `packages/paperclip-runner`.
- Local restart measurement with warm runners (K1/K2, codex, claude,
opencode, n = 3 each): every interrupted run recovered, with recovery
latency equal or lower than per-turn. The chaos waves with this change
are in the default-flip PR.

## Risks

- A warm local runner whose controller stays down for more than 7
minutes exits. A turn in progress then resumes through
`resume_dead_runner`, the same path as a controller crash that kills the
runner. Remote runners already behave this way.
- Previous-release story (`rules/upgrade-safe-run-state.mdc`): no
persisted state changes. A warm runner launched by the previous release
keeps the launch arguments it started with (no grace) until it exits.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 e2d490c61b feat(observability): anchor native time to first token at the accepted wake (#19838)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - When someone messages an agent, the reply must start fast. The
durable ownership plan (#19831) makes time to first token (TTFT) a hard
invariant.
> - Phase 0 of that plan records a TTFT baseline per adapter and
environment, measured from the moment the message or wake is accepted.
> - Today `task.time_to_first_token` starts at the wake comment, the
answered question, or the run row's creation. A wake request that was
accepted earlier (deferred, coalesced or retried) is not part of the
measurement, and the span does not say which start it used.
> - This pull request moves the start back to the earliest accepted
input and names it on the span.
> - The benefit is that the baseline and later budgets measure what the
user waits for, with no new work before `turn.start`.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19831

**What is the problem?**
`task.time_to_first_token` does not include the time between an accepted
wake request and the creation of its run row. It also does not record
which input it started from.

**What is the expected outcome?**
The span starts at the earliest accepted input and carries an `anchor`
attribute: `comment`, `question_response`, `wake_request` or
`run_created`.

**Why does it matter?**
Phase 0 of the durable ownership plan sets TTFT budgets from this
baseline. A start that skips queue time hides the latency that deferred
wakes add.

## What Changed

- `resolveNativeTimeToFirstTokenStart` (pure) in `native-run-trace.ts`
picks the start and the anchor. `anchor` joins the closed span-attribute
allowlist.
- `readNativeRunWakeRequestedAtMs` reads
`agent_wakeup_requests.requested_at` for the run. It never throws.
- `native-session-executor.ts` calls it only after the first deliverable
text, so it adds no wait before `turn.start`. The span now ends at the
text commit time, not after the trace write.
- Updated `doc/run-log-events.md` and `doc/observability.md`.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-run-trace.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-run-wake-anchor.test.ts` (26 pass).
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts -t first`
(41 pass). The existing TTFT test now asserts the anchor for each
ingress.

## Risks

- Low risk. This changes only the run-log and OTLP span. It is not
Telemetry (AGENTS.md §5.7), and it does not change runtime behavior.
- One indexed primary-key read per native dispatch, after the first
text. A read failure drops the anchor and keeps the old start.
- TTFT values can grow for deferred wakes. That is the intended
correction. `startOffsetMs` can be negative when the wake request comes
before the trace start.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 84908d176b fix(recovery): name the failed check in native_remote_recovery_lease_mismatch (#19839)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Remote native runs execute in a sandbox, and recovery can reattach a
run to its original sandbox runner
> - Reattachment checks the saved lease, workspace, and runner identity
in five places. Each failed check throws the same bare
`native_remote_recovery_lease_mismatch`
> - On staging, 34 OpenCode runs on 31 tasks failed with this bare error
in one evening. The run records could not show which check failed, so
the cause could not be confirmed from the run alone
> - This pull request makes every producer name the failed step and
field with closed values
> - The benefit is that an operator and the next investigation can see
which reattachment check failed, without new logging or identifiers in
the error

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19399, Refs #19733, Refs #19755, Refs #19779

**What happened?**
Remote same-run retries failed with
`native_remote_recovery_lease_mismatch` and the task was blocked for
reconciliation. The error is thrown by environment acquire, environment
resume, workspace preparation, workspace sync, and remote runner
verification. All of them used the same bare string. The run's `error`
field and its run events did not show which check failed.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start reattachment for a remote native run whose saved lease,
workspace reference, or runner identity no longer matches.
2. Read the run's `error`.
3. It shows only `native_remote_recovery_lease_mismatch`.

**Expected behavior**
The error names the step and the field that differed, with no
identifiers, and existing consumers of the code keep working.

## What Changed

- New
`server/src/services/native-runtime/remote-recovery-lease-mismatch.ts`:
the code constant, a closed `stage` and `field` vocabulary, and
`remoteRecoveryLeaseMismatch(stage, field)`. It builds
`native_remote_recovery_lease_mismatch: stage=<stage> field=<field>`.
- `environment-run-orchestrator.ts` (stages `environment_acquire` and
`environment_resume`), `heartbeat/workspace-preparation.ts`
(`workspace_preparation`), `native-workspace-sync.ts`
(`workspace_sync`), and `verifyRemoteRunnerReattachment` in
`native-session-executor.ts` (`runner_verification`) now throw the
detailed form. Each check keeps the same condition and order. Only the
message changes.
- `restart-interrupted-turn.ts` uses the shared constant. It already
matches the code exactly or as the `code: ` prefix, so automatic
continuation after a reattachment loss is unchanged. No other consumer
matches the code.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md` documents the detail format.

## Previous-release state

This change adds no persisted state and changes no saved identity. Runs
that a previous release failed keep the bare
`native_remote_recovery_lease_mismatch` in `error`. Runs failed by this
release store the detailed form. The only consumer (`isReattachmentLoss`
in `restart-interrupted-turn.ts`) accepts both forms, and
`workspace-recovery-retry-copyback.test.ts` covers both.

## Verification

- Exact-detail assertions in the producer tests:
- `server/src/__tests__/environment-run-orchestrator.test.ts`: every
scope, status, expiry, provider, lease-ID, cwd, plugin-task, and resume
case asserts its stage and field. Against the previous producer, 21 of
these cases fail (the message was the bare code). With this change, all
57 tests pass.
- `native-session-executor.test.ts`: a replaced sandbox reports
`runner_verification`/`provider_lease_id`. A missing durable runner
identity reports `identity_run_id` before any sandbox read.
- `native-workspace-sync.test.ts`,
`heartbeat/workspace-preparation.test.ts`,
`native-controller-recovery.integration.test.ts` assert their exact
detail.
- End to end on embedded PostgreSQL:
`heartbeat-native-remote-failure-retention.test.ts` records
`native_remote_recovery_lease_mismatch: stage=environment_resume
field=lease` on the run when the provider no longer resumes the lease,
and it still requests the user's Retry once.
`workspace-recovery-retry-copyback.test.ts` adds a detailed-form row
that still continues once.
- The affected server test files pass locally. `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/server typecheck` passes.

## Risks

- Low risk. Only the error text changes. Conditions, ordering, and
fail-closed behavior are unchanged.
- Logs and run errors show a longer message. The detail has closed
values only, so it adds no identifiers or secrets.
- A first version of this PR also changed remote retry selection. Review
showed that a plain resume in a new sandbox hits the remote workspace's
unsaved-work hold, and that a `destroy` disposition does not prove the
old sandbox is gone. That change is removed. It needs a separate design.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (Anthropic), model ID `claude-opus-5-5`, run in Claude
Code with tool use (shell, file editing, read-only browser access to
staging).

DottaandPaperclip 909f4d1a33 fix(native): recover exact historical provider pack code (#19779)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native sessions retain the provider pack that admitted their saved
state.
> - An image update can replace that pack's executable, proxy, or
contract.
> - Older sessions can predate the durable three-file launch artifact
receipt.
> - The current image's archive cannot satisfy a different pinned
manifest.
> - This pull request obtains the exact public code from its recorded
release image.
> - Full source, archive, and installed-file checks still control
provider admission.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19558, #19622, #19755.

A saved OpenCode session can fail with
`runner_remote_provider_archive_invalid` after an image update. Its
original provider state and checkpoint remain valid, but its pinned pack
differs from the controller's pack. The old manifest can name a release
that still has the exact code in GHCR. Matching the OpenCode version
does not prove matching proxy or contract bytes.

## What Changed

- Resolve a pinned historical pack from the recorded source-SHA image in
the public Paperclip GHCR repository. Verify the platform manifest, raw
config, source identity, dedicated code layer, selected pack manifest,
archive contents, paths, and hashes.
- Keep a private temporary cache of verified public code. Rebuild it on
an empty host. Bound each source to 4 GiB and three minutes, with two
active imports or cache verifications, 32 distinct queued sources, and
disk-headroom checks. Share warm-cache verification by manifest while
each caller keeps its own cancellation.
- Select this verified archive through the existing uploader. Preserve
installed-pack and preinstalled-pack checks. Refuse unavailable
historical transport before clearing the target. Keep the current-source
identity guard from #19755. Refuse an oversized layer argument before
any target effect.
- Attach the source wait to the actual per-turn startup. Stop, lease
loss, and startup completion cancel it. Keep existing Runner admission
and turn limits.
- Document the registry retention requirement and the distinction
between public code recovery and encrypted provider-state backup.

## Verification

- Genuine baseline RED: the real uploader rejects the selected old pack
before any remote effect. Treatment installs the exact old code through
that uploader.
- Current head: all 19 source/integrity/cache/deadline controls, all 45
archive controls, and 29 actual-caller and manifest/startup controls
pass (93 total). Four review regressions fail against the prior head and
pass with the fixes. The server and colocated test TypeScript graph
passes. Module-boundary and whitespace checks pass.
- Actual public GHCR cold reconstruction: 1,054,587,008 compressed code
bytes, 115.4 s, about 248 MiB maximum owner RSS. All 114 file layers and
the overlay passed source validation.
- Linux Node 24.22.2 fixture: the real historical pack passes the normal
uploader, full installed-file verifier, and pinned OpenCode version
check. It used one transfer, no application startup, no network, and no
provider calls. Revision12b0d2ba passed in 220.2 s with about 282 MiB
owner RSS. The earlier prototype passed in 108.5 s; both measurements
are retained. The three-minute source limit and the fixture's
four-minute limit were unchanged. The later review fixes add shared
cache verification, hash cancellation, and an early size guard. They do
not change extraction or the accepted Linux fixture input.
- Earlier fixture failures are retained: unsafe hardlink classification
was corrected with confined-link controls; a cached image lacked the
required zstd CLI; Docker Desktop bind storage caused GNU tar
directory-identity errors. The passing fixture uses the official Debian
zstd binary and an owned Linux tmpfs target. Production extraction code
is unchanged.
- Fresh Greptile review is 5/5 on
7b1a249478 with no open findings. All
required CI gates passed on the reviewed head. [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42353011485),
[fresh
review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/19779#issuecomment-6704065994).
No hosted session was retried by this change.

## Risks

- Cold historical recovery reads about 1 GiB of public code for the
measured release. Registry latency or missing images can block it. The
source deadline remains three minutes.
- GHCR administrators can delete release images. Source-SHA tags and
this temporary cache are not a permanent code-retention guarantee. A
provider-state S3 backup does not replace legacy executable bytes.
- Targets must support the existing qualified archive transport and
selected platform. Failed checks preserve the saved state and prevent
provider dispatch.
- The Linux fixture proves code installation and verification. Hosted
conversation continuation still needs acceptance after normal delivery.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, repository tools, and local
code execution. The host does not expose the exact deployment ID or
context-window size.

c3180398fa fix(native): resume a remote Runner after a settled suspension
fix(native): resume a remote Runner after a settled suspension

A scheduled checkpoint retry can retain a remote reattach claim after
closing its failed predecessor cleanly suspends and exits the Runner.
Resume only that exact settled source after confirmed exit and a fresh
identity/state check. Preserve pending work and uncertain-exit fences.

Admit the last already-charged provider attempt and share one bounded
recovery deadline with the final state read, retaining closed diagnostic
labels on read failures. Cover fresh ACPX Runner relaunch on attempts
two and three through actual processes and the durable close barrier.

Six affected suites pass 1,579 tests, with 14 environment-gated skips;
all server typecheck layers pass on Node 25.6.1. The complete provider
turn continuation failure remains preserved as follow-up #19751.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 24cbea136f fix(native): export OpenCode launch artifacts through a confined workspace copy (#19743)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native recovery saves the qualified OpenCode launch files so a cold
allocation can resume the same session (#19622)
> - Core reads those files from the sandbox with the provider's bulk
`syncOut`
> - The launch root is under the sandbox account home, not under the
workspace remote dir
> - Daytona, Kubernetes, and CreateOS confine every export source to the
workspace remote dir, so the export always fails
> - Every remote OpenCode run on a durable-storage instance now fails
40-90 s after start with `native_session_interrupted`
> - This pull request exports a confined scratch copy of the three
launch files from inside the workspace runtime dir
> - The benefit is that remote OpenCode runs work again, and the
provider confinement guard stays unchanged

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19622

**What happened?**

After #19622, every remote OpenCode run on Daytona fails at provider
admission. The run error is `Daytona sync source path escapes the
workspace remote dir:
/home/daytona/.paperclip-runtime/paperclip-runner/provider-artifacts/<digest>`.
The error code is `native_session_interrupted`. The last successful run
of the affected agent was immediately before #19622 reached the
deployment.

**Expected behavior**

Core saves the qualified launch files and the run continues. The
provider confinement guard still refuses any export source outside the
workspace remote dir.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Configure an OpenCode agent on a Daytona environment with durable
harness storage.
2. Start a run.
3. The run fails when Core captures the provider artifacts, before the
first turn.

## What Changed

- `captureRemoteNativeProviderArtifacts` now takes the workspace
`remoteCwd`.
- Before the export, a sandbox command copies the three launch files
into a new scratch directory at
`<remoteCwd>/.paperclip-runtime/paperclip-runner/provider-artifact-export/<uuid>/`.
The command refuses a symlink or a non-regular file. It uses `cp -P`, so
it never follows a link.
- `syncOut` reads from that scratch copy. A `finally` step removes the
scratch copy after success or failure. A failed removal is logged and
does not replace the transfer result.
- The launch root does not move. OpenCode still binds to the same
absolute paths. Core still verifies each downloaded byte against the
manifest SHA-256 values.
- `.paperclip-runtime` is already excluded from workspace sync, so the
scratch copy never enters the user workspace.
- The Daytona `assertConfinedSandboxPath` guard is not changed.

## Verification

- New regression
`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-provider-artifact-capture-confinement.test.ts`.
It runs the real sandbox commands on a local directory tree that has a
home-rooted launch root and a separate workspace. Its `syncOut` applies
the same workspace confinement rule as the Daytona provider.
- Before the fix: it fails with `Daytona sync source path escapes the
workspace remote dir:
.../home/daytona/.paperclip-runtime/paperclip-runner/provider-artifacts/dfe9e4b1d660/bin/nodeCommand`.
This is the staging error.
- After the fix: it passes. The published bytes match, every export
source is under the workspace runtime dir, and the scratch directory is
empty after the capture.
- Safety cases: a failed transfer removes the scratch copy and does not
publish. A launch file replaced by a symlink is refused before any
export, and nothing is published.
- `native-session-executor.test.ts`: the durable OpenCode admission case
now asserts that the capture receives `remoteCwd` and that every
`syncOut` source is under `/workspace/`.
- `pnpm vitest run` for the capture, confinement, remote OpenCode
artifact, and session root entries tests: 14 passed.
- `vitest run native-session-executor.test.ts -t "opencode|provider
artifact|durable"`: 62 passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`: passed.
- Not run: a live Daytona run with this revision. The fix is not
deployed to staging.

## Risks

- Low risk. The capture now runs two short `sh` commands in the sandbox
and holds a second copy of the launch files during the transfer. The
files are bounded by the existing 512 MiB limit and are deleted
afterwards.
- The scratch copy uses `cp -P`, `mkdir`, and `rm -rf` from POSIX `sh`.
The Daytona image already uses these tools for the workspace sync.
- If the sandbox stops between the copy and the removal, a scratch
directory can remain under `.paperclip-runtime`. Workspace sync excludes
that directory.

## Model Used

Code with tool use (shell, file edit, and read-only browser access to
staging).

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 fc7e3a6503 fix(recovery): never replace a native session after a deterministic refusal (#19733)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native agent runs keep a saved provider session, and same-run
recovery resumes it after a failure
> - When resume fails and the checkpoint allows it, recovery archives
the saved continuity state and opens a fresh replacement session
> - Recovery used that path for every resume failure, including
deterministic refusals that left the saved state unchanged and repeat on
every retry
> - In five staging tasks a refusal (a protected launch argument, or a
predecessor tool call with no result) escalated into a replacement. The
remote archive move failed part way, the next attempt found no runner
state, and each task was blocked for workspace repair
> - This pull request stops before replacement after a closed-class
refusal, keeps the saved state, and hands the run to an operator with a
named reason
> - The benefit is that a deterministic refusal can no longer damage
saved state or open a replacement over an unsettled external action

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19659, Refs #19516, Refs #19334

**What happened?**
Five Codex tasks on Daytona sandboxes failed on staging. The first
attempt failed with a deterministic refusal:
- `run.attach cannot change protected launch arguments` (four tasks,
fixed separately in #19659), or
- `native_runner_source_semantic_reconciliation_required` with a
predecessor `paperclip_call_assigned_tool` call still pending (one
task).

The same-run retry then opened a replacement session.
`archiveContinuityState` failed with
`runner_continuity_break_archive_failed` and no detail. The third
attempt failed with `runner_remote_state_unavailable: exit=1`, and the
task was blocked with "Workspace repair required".

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Save a native session whose checkpoint policy is
`allow_replacement_after_resume_failure`.
2. Make the resume fail with a refusal that does not change state (an
attach refusal, or a pending tool call).
3. Same-run recovery opens a replacement session and archives the saved
continuity state.

**Expected behavior**
A deterministic refusal stops the run for an operator. The saved state
stays intact. A run with a pending side-effecting call never reaches
replacement. Transport drops keep the existing retry behavior.

**Root cause**
`executeNativeSession` checked only the checkpoint's replacement policy.
The closed failure class (#19334) only had an effect when replacement
was forbidden. Attach refusals and pending tool calls had no class at
all, and the source-reconciliation refusal was a plain `Error`.

## What Changed

- Runner (`provider_backend.rs`, `durable/mod.rs`): `run.attach`
refusals that would change the durable Codex profile or a protected
launch argument carry the closed classification
`provider_attach_refused`. An attach blocked by
`durable_pending_tool_calls` carries `provider_side_effect_pending`.
These refusals already leave the saved state unchanged.
- Contracts (`harness-driver.ts`): new closed classes
`PROVIDER_ATTACH_REFUSED` and `PROVIDER_SIDE_EFFECT_PENDING`. A typed
`NativeRunnerSourceReconciliationRequiredError` replaces the plain
`Error` at the five `native_runner_source_*_reconciliation_required`
throw sites. `runnerRecoveryFailureClass` reads the authenticated
command-result classification or the typed error, never message text.
- Runtime (`native-session-runtime.ts`): after either class, recovery
never opens a replacement session, whatever the checkpoint policy.
- An attach refusal ends with the existing
`NativeProviderStateIncompatibleError`, which maps to the existing
operator path `native_provider_state_incompatible`.
- A pending side effect ends with the new
`NativeProviderSideEffectPendingError`.
- Server (`native-session-executor.ts`, `native-session-resume.ts`,
shared `EXECUTION_RECONCILIATION_CAUSES`):
`native_provider_side_effect_pending` is a permanent failure and an
execution-reconciliation cause, so the board gets a reconciliation
(record whether the action ran) instead of a generic Retry. The
reconciled continuation does not rebind the saved session, which still
refuses attachment. It starts a fresh provider session in the same
workspace. The saved session and workspace are unchanged.
- Archive (`archiveContinuityState`): a failed remote move now records
the bounded (512 characters), redacted exit status and output in
`runner_continuity_break_archive_failed: exit=… timedOut=… <output>`.
The remote move already ran before the local move on `master`, so a
failed remote move leaves the local state in place.
`restart-interrupted-turn.ts` accepts the detailed message for its
reattachment-loss retry.
- Docs: `doc/execution-semantics.md` and
`packages/paperclip-runner/docs/durable-recovery.md` describe the new
rule.

## Verification

Red before the fix, green after (each test first run against unchanged
source from `origin/master` 644ee66f5d):

- `native-session-runtime.test.ts`, test "never replaces a session after
a deterministic, non-destructive recovery refusal". Red: replacement was
attempted (`TypeError: Invalid value used as weak map key` from the stub
replacement). Green: typed error, and `openReplacementSession`,
`openSession` and `openRun` are not called.
- `harness-driver-backend.test.ts`, test "keeps the runner's closed
class of a failed recovery". Red: the typed error did not exist. Green:
both new classes are read from the command result and from the typed
error. The same message text without the type stays unclassified.
- `tests/codex_provider.rs` (real durable executor and fake Codex
app-server):
-
`attach_with_a_pending_tool_call_is_classified_as_a_pending_side_effect`.
Red: `left: None, right: Some("provider_side_effect_pending")`.
-
`saved_codex_thread_attaches_after_a_release_changes_its_feature_toggles`
(protected sandbox change). Red: `left: None, right:
Some("provider_attach_refused")`.
- `native-session-executor.test.ts`:
- Test "stops same-run retries for an operator while a saved
side-effecting call has no result". Red: `expected
'native_session_interrupted' to be
'native_provider_side_effect_pending'`.
- Test "retains the local controller checkpoint until remote continuity
archiving succeeds: failed/timeout". Red: the message had no detail.
Green: the message has the exit status and output, a token in the output
is redacted, and the local runner and control-plane files are intact.

Safety and regression checks:
- New test "still replaces a session after an unclassified resume
failure when the checkpoint allows it". It passes before and after: a
transport drop still reaches replacement.
- Existing test "types a runner-proven incompatible session when
same-session recovery is required" still passes.
- `native-session-resume.test.ts`: a source stopped with
`native_provider_side_effect_pending` is not rebound.
- `run-completion.test.ts` "replays saved user intent through normal
Retry …" passes with the detailed archive message.
- Runner Vitest: `native-session-runtime.test.ts` and
`harness-driver-backend.test.ts` (266 passed);
`runnerd-codex-transport-warm-attachment.test.ts` and
`codex-app-server-driver.recovery.test.ts` (74 passed).
- Rust: `--lib` (560 passed, plus one ACPX timing test that failed under
load and passed when rerun alone), `codex_provider` (118 passed),
`native_provider_backend` (45 passed), `durable_recovery` (3 passed).

Not run: a live staging recovery at this revision. The local server
typecheck could not resolve the unbuilt runner package, so required CI
provides typecheck.

## Risks

- A run that a replacement session would have continued after an attach
refusal now stops for an operator. The refusal repeats on every retry,
so the replacement was the only way past it. It also destroyed saved
state, which is what blocked the staging tasks. A board Retry still
continues the task in a fresh session in the same workspace. This is the
existing `native_provider_state_incompatible` behavior.
- A new failure code `native_provider_side_effect_pending` appears in
run records and recovery actions. It joins
`EXECUTION_RECONCILIATION_CAUSES`, so the UI shows the reconciliation
flow, not Retry.
- An attach refusal used to reach an automatic replacement; it now needs
one board Retry. This is intended: the replacement archived saved state
and failed part way on staging.
- The pending-side-effect class means "no result delivered to the
runner". The controller replays a recorded tool outcome only after
attach. A call whose outcome the server already recorded therefore also
stops for an operator. That is conservative; the reconciliation shows
the recorded outcome.
- Only a pending tool call classifies an attach blocker. Other blockers
(active turn, ambiguous turn start, active goal) keep their current
behavior.
- The archive error message is longer. The one exact-match consumer now
accepts the `code: detail` form.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, used through Claude
Code with tool use (shell, file edit, browser reads of staging).

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 4612fa9fb4 fix(native): restart a drained Daytona run whose runner opened its session (#19711)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs on Daytona start a `paperclip-runnerd` process in a
sandbox. A graceful shutdown (every rolling deploy) suspends live native
runs "without cancelling provider work". The next boot then decides how
each run continues.
> - #19583, #19616 and #19684 let restart recovery start a remote
bootstrap again when durable evidence proves that no provider work
exists.
> - A chaos replay found another window. The drain suspended a remote
run just after its sandbox runner opened the provider session, before
the controller sent a turn and before a session snapshot existed.
> - Recovery accepted only an unfinished `session.open` in the
controller checkpoint, so it blocked the task as ambiguous. A Retry
recovered it, but automatic continuation was lost.
> - A related replay showed that the same-run bootstrap reuses the
sandbox. The interrupted runner can still hold the runner ingress port
there (`runner_ingress_bind_conflict`).
> - This pull request proves the "session opened, no turn" case and
stops the interrupted runner before relaunch.
> - The benefit is that a deploy during Daytona startup continues
automatically, without a port conflict.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A chaos replay (ACPX Claude on Daytona) sent SIGTERM while a remote run
was starting. The drain recorded `restart_suspended`. The dying
controller still launched the runner and finished `session.open`. On the
next boot, restart recovery returned
`ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence` with disposition `blocked`.

The decrypted controller checkpoint of that run showed:
- `run.prepare` completed and `session.open` completed (provider session
opened).
- Committed events `session.started`, `session.capabilities.updated` and
`session.goal.snapshot` (`ackedSourceSeq: 3`).
- No turn command. No run-profile session snapshot and no projected
provider events.

On the next run in that replay, a same-run bootstrap relaunched the
runner in the same sandbox (one lease for all attempts). It failed with
`runner_ingress_bind_conflict: failed to bind listener: Address already
in use`, because the interrupted runner from 51 s earlier was still
listening there. The bounded same-run retry recovered it on its last
attempt.

**Expected behavior**

When the durable controller record proves that no turn was ever sent,
recovery starts the bootstrap again. It first stops the interrupted
runner in the reused sandbox.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a native run on a Daytona environment.
2. Send SIGTERM to the control plane while the runner opens its provider
session.
3. Restart the control plane after the controller lease expires.
4. See that restart recovery blocks the task with
`ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`.

Root cause: in
`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-restart-recovery.ts`, the
remote checkpoint proof (`remoteBootstrapProvenIncomplete`, #19583)
required an unfinished `session.open` with no committed events, and no
provider events at all. A completed `session.open` with only
session-open events had no rule, so it fell through to
`ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`.

Refs #19583, #19616, #19684, #19524

## What Changed

- `native-bootstrap-proof.ts`: new `runnerdStateHasNoProviderTurn`
proof. The state must hold only `run.prepare` and `session.open`
(pending or completed) and no warm, staged or adopted state. Every
committed event must be a session-open event, with contiguous sequence
numbers from 1, so no event is hidden. Only the controller issues turn
commands, and it writes each one to Postgres before sending it.
- `native-runner-checkpoint.ts`:
`nativeRunnerCheckpointRemoteBootstrapProof` replaces
`nativeRunnerCheckpointProvesIncompleteBootstrap`. It also reads a
bounded number of `event:N` parts and returns which proof holds. It
still rebuilds the state in memory.
- `native-restart-recovery.ts`: a remote run can now claim
`bootstrap_incomplete` with reason `remote_session_opened_without_turn`.
Projected provider events may only be session-open events
(`harness.ready`, `session.started`, `session.resumed`,
`session.updated`), and only together with the stronger session-opened
proof. A turn or provider event still blocks.
- `native-session-executor.ts`:
- For a remote sandbox target, the executor accepts the same proof on
the restored record.
- Before the same-run bootstrap relaunches,
`stopStaleRemoteRunnerBeforeBootstrap` stops the interrupted runner in
the reused sandbox. It uses the verified identity marker and process
check from reattachment, which signals only a process whose identity
matches this run: SIGTERM, a wait of up to 10 s, then SIGKILL.
- The stop is best effort. If no prior runner can be verified, nothing
is stopped, and the bounded same-run retry still handles any conflict.
- `doc/run-log-events.md`: document the reason and the stop.

## Verification

- Red, then green: `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts
-t "drained remote"`. Before the fix, the opened-session case (with a
projected `session.started`) returned `blocked` /
`ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`.
- These keep the hold: a `turn.start` command, a committed
`turn.started`, an acknowledged event that is missing from the record,
and a projected `turn.started`. The executor test restores the
checkpoint and checks that the local proof is false and the remote proof
is true.
- Regression: `native-runner-restart-recovery.integration`,
`native-session-executor`, `native-restart-recovery`,
`native-bootstrap-retry.integration` and `heartbeat/recovery`: 1460
passed, 14 skipped.
- Stale runner stop: controlled sandbox-runner tests
(`native-session-executor.test.ts`, "stale runner stop before a same-run
remote bootstrap") run the real reattachment identity and process
scripts against a fake sandbox runner:
  - a verified runner that exits on SIGTERM gets SIGTERM only;
  - a runner that ignores SIGTERM gets SIGTERM, then SIGKILL;
  - a runner with another identity gets no signal;
  - no live prior runner means no signal.
- Live Daytona proof (wave `w-20261107T021837-s29`, ACPX Claude,
`--faults K2 --triggers time,result`, 4 tasks, concurrency 1). The image
was built from current master
(`paperclip-daytona-runner@sha256:71f711ab…`), and its content id
matches this branch.
- All 4 tasks crossed a graceful restart, and all passed R1. Two of the
K2s fired on the `result` trigger, during a running remote turn.
- The K2 during a turn reattached to the live remote runner
(`reattach_remote_runner`, generation 2), as designed.
- Task t01 failed R6 with an orphan Daytona sandbox that no lease
references. The graceful restart came during sandbox creation. This is a
separate signature, outside this change.
- The timed faults did not land in the exact "session opened, no turn"
window. The integration tests cover that window with the evidence from
the saved replay database.

## Risks

- The proof relies on two facts: only the controller issues turn
commands, and the controller writes each command before sending it
(`#sendJson` waits for the checkpoint flush). A turn always leaves a
`turn.start` command in the record.
- The provider session opened in the old sandbox runner is not resumed.
The new bootstrap opens a fresh session. No turn ran in the old one, so
no work is lost.
- The runner stop sends signals inside the run's own sandbox. It signals
only after the existing reattachment identity and process checks pass.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, via Claude Code with
tool use (shell, file edits, GitHub CLI) and extended reasoning.

18be7ac696 fix(server): retire idle native sessions before tenant sleep (#18988)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people manage AI agents and their work.
> - Native agents can retain a warm session between useful turns.
> - That owner must close and save its files before the tenant can
sleep.
> - A failed close must keep the owner visible until retirement
succeeds.
> - This PR prepares idle resources under the exact current admission
hold, then takes a fresh safety snapshot.
> - Busy turns, uncertain closure and changed holds still prevent sleep.
> - CI also exposed a chat authorization race. The fix repeats full
authorization after the exact delivery commits.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18639 for local work and incoming wake boundaries. Related #18829
covers suspension receipts after admission.

**What happened?**

Idle preflight did not retire warm Native owners. Three failed-close
paths could forget an owner without proving that its provider stopped.
CI also found a false chat rejection when a delivery changed from
processing to processed between two validation reads.

**Expected behavior**

Retire only idle owners under the exact bounded hold. Wait for closure
and file collection. Retain failed owners. Scan safety after
preparation. Keep diagnostic reads passive. A newly committed chat
delivery must pass the full current authorization checks before
attestation succeeds.

**Steps to reproduce**

Finish a warm Native turn. Start an idle drain and request safety with
its owner ID. Delay or reject provider closure, or replace the hold
during preparation or scanning. The report must keep the instance awake.
For the chat race, commit the exact delivery between the first binding
read and its fallback read.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Current head `7f6f02b611dcf5a9a2b05173a44e9631eaf78058` normally
integrates actual master `1aa0c3639714f4976cfa56f95aae6e2b7d1235ac`. The
merge preserves every unrelated master path. Fresh exact-head CI and
complete review remain required.

## What Changed

- Retain uncertain Native owners after failed restart, idle timeout and
failed-turn closure.
- Prepare Native retirement through the existing heartbeat facade. Reuse
provider closure and stopped-file collection.
- Track preparation under the exact idle owner and expiry. Reject new
activity, changed holds and expired holds before and after awaited work.
- Take the final durable and local safety snapshot after preparation.
Keep diagnostic inspection passive.
- Cover ephemeral workspace retirement and useful next use, supported
plugin drain and SDK persistence, busy owners, failed closure and hold
replacement.
- Keep dedicated recovery storage explicit. Use the same validated
options for support and storage. Probe-free helpers retain the original
implementation bodies and preserve default callers.
- Complete the Native fixture through real retirement and budget
evaluation. Keep its rejection, file, credential, accounting and strict
NONE assertions.
- Repeat the complete chat authorization once if the fallback sees the
exact batch now processed. Preserve owner locks, principal and binding
checks, denial handling and the original retry deadline.

## Verification

- The support-mode regression reproduces one failure with four passes
under the old policy, then passes all five controls. It retains prior
allocation and cleanup cases. The explicit mode does not probe embedded
PostgreSQL or use an admin alias.
- The deterministic chat race baseline reproduces two authorized
failures with all four current-authority denial controls passing. Both
Slack and Discord use real PostgreSQL and the real authorization
function. The negative setup commits before the attestation transaction;
it does not claim to revoke access through a row lock.
- The product fix passes normal own App declaration emission with no
public declaration changes, plus both current normal owning compiler
programs (399 and 611 roots). The same six controls pass after the fix.
The full original file plus these controls passes all 30 tests with no
skips.
- The original controlled Native continuation passes: one test, no
failures or skips, 1.718 seconds in its body and 23.138 seconds in its
launcher. The original 40-second case and 180-second outer bounds are
unchanged. It verifies held closure, strict NONE, an ordinary authorized
comment, saved session/files, useful output, encrypted credentials,
accepted results and settled accounting. All ten observed processes and
groups close; worker connections and listeners reach zero. A separate
post-owner audit finds zero sessions; the successful owned database is
normally removed.
- Earlier preparation, HTTP, lifecycle, workspace and plugin controls
remain source-specific evidence. They are not a claim that every
final-tree test ran locally.
- The original CI assertion log is retained. The controlled race proves
a possible cause; the original CI SQL schedule was not captured. Two
other jobs lost their self-hosted runners and provided no test verdict.
Earlier asset timeouts, readiness failures and unexplained later
recovery remain separately recorded. No timeout, failure predicate or
authority check was weakened.

Focused public commands:

```sh
pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/idle-sleep-preparation.test.ts server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-routes.test.ts --maxWorkers=1 --no-file-parallelism
pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-reviewed-chat-binding.integration.test.ts --maxWorkers=1 --no-file-parallelism
```

Local database qualification uses fresh owned test databases on existing
PostgreSQL, bounded pools and one worker. The local allocation adapter
changes only database allocation for this test module; it runs normal
migrations and client cleanup. It is not part of the published source.
No new cluster is created.

Local acceptance measured the `0a69efa6` integration with the same
committed authorization bytes. The later normal master merge adds
startup-timeout classification and recovery changes. Those paths are
outside the controlled healthy-backend witness; retirement and
authorization hunks are preserved. Exact-head remote CI at
`7f6f02b611dcf5a9a2b05173a44e9631eaf78058` has completed with 56
successful contexts and four skips. The complete current Greptile
summary is5/5 with no new actionable findings; all review threads are
resolved. Ponytail’s current turn is explicitly paused without a
current-head verdict; earlier actual findings are fixed and accounted
for. No whole final-tree local repository build/test run, live-provider
restore or deployed suspension is claimed.

Actual master subsequently advanced to
`d5c4f7dd02d408a261cedd9a1926b9900a4aedc4`. Its local normal-merge
projection with this reviewed head preserves all20 owned paths and every
unrelated master blob and mode. Current Runner TypeScript, App
declarations and their full owning compiler programs pass. Focused
Native cleanup and warm-continuation composition checks are being
completed before merge; the new upstream suspension-retry behavior is
not inferred from the older controlled-backend witness. The remote PR
head remains unchanged.

## Risks

- Privileged idle preparation can close idle warm Native sessions. It
requires the exact current hold.
- Failed closure retains its owner and can keep the tenant awake until
normal retry succeeds.
- A changed hold cannot authorize sleep. Started cleanup remains tracked
until it settles.
- The chat repair can perform one extra full authorization read. It
keeps the existing deadline and does not grant authority from the
fallback query.
- Unsupported resources and active work retain their existing blockers.
This PR does not certify every transport, plugin or deployed host.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` produced the delegated changes and verification.
OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, performed managing review and integration.
Both used repository tools and code execution. The coordinator's exact
backend snapshot and context-window limits were not exposed.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 30857db55e fix(native): recover a run killed between runner launch and its identity record (#19694)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs start a local `paperclip-runnerd` process. The server
records the request to start it, then records its process identity after
it spawns.
> - If the server is killed between those two records, there is no
process ID to check after the restart
> - Restart recovery then restarted the bootstrap, but the executor
failed with `durable_identity_unreadable` because the runner never wrote
its state
> - The user's Retry then waited forever with "Retry is waiting for
Paperclip to verify that the previous execution stopped", because the
stop check needs a process ID
> - This pull request restarts that bootstrap and proves on the host
that no runner for the run exists
> - The benefit is that a restart in the runner launch window no longer
loses the task or leaves Retry permanently stuck

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
In restart-chaos testing, an ACPX Claude run was created and the server
was SIGKILLed 1.3 s later, right after `native.process_start_requested`
and before the runner identity was recorded. On restart, recovery
claimed `bootstrap_incomplete` (`dead_runner_before_provider_identity`).
The executor then threw `runner_state_identity_mismatch:
durable_identity_unreadable`: the state root existed, but
`control-plane/control-plane-state.json` had never been written. The run
failed with `native_continuation_requires_reconciliation`. A Retry was
accepted (HTTP 200), but no run was ever created. The issue stayed
blocked with `retryWait.reason=process_identity_missing` for over 20
minutes and through another restart.

**Expected behavior**
When the runner never wrote state, no provider started, so the bootstrap
can start again. A Retry should be admitted once the host proves that no
runner for the run exists.

**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at `fb3cf1a072`.

**Steps to reproduce**
Create a native local task and SIGKILL the server about 1 s after the
run starts, after the runner launch is requested and before its identity
is recorded. Restart the server, then click Retry.

## What Changed

- `migrateRunnerdStateRootForExecution` (`native-session-executor.ts`):
for a `bootstrap_incomplete` restart on a local target, a root is
quarantined (kept for inspection) and the bootstrap starts again only
when both of these hold:
  - the root has no `control-plane-state.json`;
  - no live runner for the run exists on this host.

A state file that exists but cannot be read, or a runner that started
but has not connected yet, still fails closed with
`durable_identity_unreadable`.
- `unidentifiedLocalRunnerProvenAbsent` (`native-session-executor.ts`)
proves that a runner is absent when both of these hold:
- no host process carries the run's `--run-id <runId>` argument
(`paperclip-runnerd` is always started with it, detached and
unreferenced);
- no saved control-plane state for this run exists, in the canonical
root or in quarantine.

A provider starts only after its runner connects and writes that state.
- `native.process_start_requested` now records the launching `hostname`.
- `recordUnidentifiedLocalRunnerStop` (`native-local-process-stop.ts`)
applies the proof only when all of these hold:
  - the run is native;
  - the run has no process ID;
- its latest launch event is `native.process_start_requested`, from this
host;
  - all of its leases are local.

  A launch recorded without a host stays blocked.
- The process listing runs asynchronously with a 5 s deadline. A failed
or slow listing proves nothing.

It then writes `native.local_process_stopped` with null process IDs and
`basis: "unidentified_runner_absent"`. A later launch request
invalidates it as usual.
- The continuation and Retry gate (`explicit-native-continuation.ts`)
uses this proof before returning `process_identity_missing`. A dry run
checks the proof but records nothing.
- `doc/run-log-events.md` documents the new receipt basis.

## Verification

- `native-session-executor.test.ts`:
- The bootstrap restart with absent state was red before the fix
(`durable_identity_unreadable`) and is green after it (root quarantined,
backend admitted).
- Unreadable state, and a live runner that has not connected, still
reject.
- Proof cases: absent → true; a live process with `--run-id <runId>` →
false; this run's saved state → false; another run ID → false.
- `explicit-native-continuation.test.ts` (embedded Postgres, real
admission):
- The `absent` and `dry_run` cases were red before the fix (blocked) and
are green after it (admitted). Only the real admission records the
receipt.
- The `live_runner`, `saved_state`, `foreign_host` and `unbound_launch`
cases stay blocked.
- Broader local run after the review fixes:
`explicit-native-continuation`, `native-session-executor`,
`native-recovered-owner-followup`,
`native-runner-restart-recovery.integration` and `task-retry` gave 1836
passed, 0 failed.
- A chaos replay of the original task (`--replay
w-20261106T232854-s7103/t26`) passed (R1 PASS). Its kill landed after
the runner identity was recorded (`resume_dead_runner`), not in the
launch window, so the tests above are what reproduce that window.
- `tsc --noEmit` for `server` passes.

## Risks

- The proof depends on `ps -axww` listing every process on the launching
host. If `ps` fails or times out, the proof fails closed (still
blocked). Remote runners and other hosts are excluded.
- A runner that was spawned but has not yet written its state could be
mid-start when admission runs. It would still carry `--run-id` in its
arguments, so the proof refuses.
- Only the bootstrap path with no state file changes. Ownership,
checkpoint and reattach checks are unchanged.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 803cb3bfe3 fix(native): re-bootstrap an OpenCode runner drained before its first turn (#19704)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs start a local `paperclip-runnerd`. After a restart,
recovery may start the bootstrap again when the durable state root
proves that no provider work started.
> - #19665 added a proof for a graceful drain that lands after
`session.open` started a fresh session and before the first turn. It
requires every recorded provider process to have exited.
> - OpenCode records provider startup ownership twice during
`session.open`. The first record comes before launch, with `processId:
null` and `processGroupId: null`.
> - The proof treated `processId: null` as a process it could not prove
gone. An OpenCode run drained in this window still failed with
`runner_state_identity_mismatch: bootstrap_not_proven_incomplete`.
> - This pull request treats a null process id as "no process yet". The
benefit is that a graceful restart during OpenCode bootstrap continues
automatically, as it already does for ACPX.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19665, #19524

**What happened?**
A restart chaos wave sent SIGTERM to the control plane about 11 s after
an OpenCode run started. The drain suspended the run. At the next boot,
recovery verified that the local runner had stopped and chose
`bootstrap_incomplete`. The executor then failed the run with
`adapter_failed` and `runner_state_identity_mismatch:
bootstrap_not_proven_incomplete`. The kept state root had:
- `run.prepare` and `session.open` completed, with a freshly started
session (`status: "started"`);
- only `session.started`, `session.capabilities.updated` and
`session.goal.snapshot` committed;
- two `harness.diagnostic` events of type `provider_startup_ownership`
in the runner outbox, the first with null process ids and the second
with the server pid and process group;
- no turn command, and the OpenCode server process had exited.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start an OpenCode task on a local runner.
2. Send SIGTERM to the control plane after `session.open` completes and
before the first turn.
3. Let the control plane restart.

**Expected behavior**
Recovery starts the bootstrap again, and the task continues.

**Actual behavior**
The run fails. The task needs a manual Retry.

## What Changed

- `native-bootstrap-proof.ts`: the process-id collector skips
`processId`, `pid` and `processGroupId` values that are `null`. A null
value records a launch that has not produced a process yet. Any other
non-number value still fails the proof, and every numeric id must still
be proven gone.
- Tests: a red test with the OpenCode startup-ownership shape, plus
counter-tests for a live OpenCode server process, a non-numeric process
id, and a started turn.

## Verification

- Red before the fix: "allows a fresh bootstrap after a drain once
OpenCode opened its session before the first turn" failed with `expected
false to be true`. Green after the fix: the `native incomplete-bootstrap
evidence` block passes 36/36.
- I ran the proof read-only against kept real roots:
  - the OpenCode drained root now returns `true`;
- an OpenCode root from the same wave where a turn ran (108 events)
still returns `false`;
  - the three roots from #19524 and #19665 still return `true`.
- `native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts` and
`native-restart-recovery.test.ts`: 134 passed. `tsc --noEmit -p
server/tsconfig.json` passes.
- Live replay: see the PR comment.

## Risks

- Low. The change only skips null ids. Numeric ids still need a proven
exit. Any turn, provider output, resumed session, or remote runner still
fails closed.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 9a52a2dfeb fix(native): retry ACPX session.open startup timeouts and give cold Claude a 60 s bound (#19661)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native runs start an ACPX provider through Runner. `session.open`
opens the provider session before any prompt.
> - On a loaded host, a cold ACPX Claude `session.open` took longer than
its 30-second bound. The controller reported
`runner_local_connect_failed: PRP command session.open timed out`.
> - The server classified this as the generic
`native_session_interrupted` with `ambiguous_state`, so the task was
blocked at once. A person had to click Retry, sometimes several times.
In one restart-chaos storm, one task needed three Retry clicks, and on
another task both Retry runs timed out too.
> - The server already has a bounded same-run bootstrap retry for
failures that come before provider work (#18854). It did not recognize
this timeout. The 30-second bound also cut off normal slow startups.
> - This pull request gives cold ACPX Claude a 60-second `session.open`
bound, like Pi and OpenCode (#19487). It also retries a startup
`session.open` timeout automatically on the same run, from clean state.
> - The benefit is that a slow cold start on a busy host completes, or
retries itself, instead of waiting for a person.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18854 (bounded bootstrap retry for definite `session.open`
failures), #19487 (60-second cold OpenCode admission), #19665 (the
bootstrap proof that this change reuses).

**What happened?**

ACPX Claude runs failed with `runner_local_connect_failed: PRP command
session.open timed out` about 35 to 40 seconds after they started. The
coordinator recorded `native_session_interrupted` with `recoveryMode:
"ambiguous_state"` and `providerSessionEstablished: false`. The task was
blocked with a board-owned action. No provider event and no checkpoint
existed. The host 1-minute load was 17 to 44, sometimes with no restart
nearby.

**Expected behavior**

A normal slow cold start completes. A `session.open` that still times
out during runner startup, with no provider event, no checkpoint and no
turn, retries on the same run with backoff. At most two automatic
attempts follow the first. A run where provider work may have started is
never retried automatically.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run ACPX Claude tasks on a host with a 1-minute load of about 25 or
more.
2. Observe a run fail after about 35 to 40 seconds with `PRP command
session.open timed out`.
3. Observe the task blocked with `ambiguous_state` and a manual Retry.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `6c7cc2c5d6`.

## What Changed

The bound (evidence below):

- `coldAdmissionTimeoutMs` gives cold ACPX Claude 60 seconds (live
adoption keeps 30 seconds). The runner's Rust sidecar
`session_open_timeout` and the sidecar's provider handshake
(`acpxSessionHandshakeTimeoutMs`) give Claude and Pi 60 seconds too. All
three bounds must agree, or the shortest one fails first. Claude's warm
run attachment uses the same cold budget, like Pi.

The automatic retry:

- `nativeSessionFailureSourceCode` returns
`provider_session_open_timeout` only for exactly `<startup failure
code>: PRP command session.open timed out`. The startup failure codes
are `runner_local_connect_failed`, `runner_direct_wss_failed` and
`runner_ingress_unavailable`. The transport uses them only before
startup completes. After startup the code is
`provider_transport_failed`, which is unchanged.
- `nativeProviderRecoveryEvidence` treats the cause as pre-session.
Durable evidence still decides: a bootstrap retry needs no provider
event (`session.started`, `turn.started` and the others) and no
checkpoint. The existing budget applies: three attempts with backoff of
about 30 seconds, then about 60 seconds. When the budget is used, the
task is blocked with the existing "Provider startup failed on 3 attempts
before any provider work began" action.
- A timeout is indeterminate: the runner can open a provider session
after the controller stops waiting. Live runs showed both leftovers, so
the retry now starts from clean state:
- `prepareNativeSessionOpenTimeoutRetry` (server) runs when the failure
settles. It quarantines a local runner root only when the
restart-recovery proof (`runnerdStateProvesIncompleteBootstrap`, #19665)
shows that no turn began and every recorded process is gone. Any other
root, and any remote runner, stays `ambiguous_state` as before.
- `resetAbandonedBootstrapRecord` (runner ACPX adapter) runs on a fresh
open (no runner-recorded identity). If ACPX has a saved record for the
session key with no messages, no prompt and no events, it is marked
`reset_on_next_ensure`. Claude saves nothing before the first prompt, so
reusing such a record fails the first turn with
`session_resume_required`. A record that holds any conversation is
unchanged.
- A chat retry of an exhausted `provider_session_open_timeout` run is
accepted like the other pre-provider causes.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md` and the Runner README describe the cause
and the bound.

## Verification

**Measured startup distribution** (ACPX Claude
`runner.session.bootstrap` / `runner.session.startup` spans from
restart-chaos run events, 1-minute load 8 to 44):

| Source | Bound | Successful cold bootstraps (s) | Failures |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Earlier storm evidence | 30 s | 2.9, 4.7, 7.4, 8.6, 8.7, 26.2, 27.4,
27.6, 29.2 | startups ended at 34.9 to 40.3 s (the 30 s `session.open`
bound plus spawn and `run.prepare`) |
| This branch, wave s3601 | 60 s | 6.3, 7.8, 8.1, 13.4, 14.4, 22.3,
22.8, 22.9, **37.3** | 0 `session.open` timeouts |
| This branch, wave s3602 | 60 s | 13 samples, p50 10.5, p90 17.9, max
25.7 | 0 `session.open` timeouts |
| This branch, wave s3610 (final head, load 28 to 42) | 60 s | 10.4,
11.3, 11.7, 12.0, 13.3, 14.2, 29.6, **30.4**, **30.9** | 0
`session.open` timeouts |

Under load, successes clustered just under 30 s and failures sat just
above it, so the 30 s bound was cutting the distribution off. With 60 s,
cold starts of 30.4, 30.9 and 37.3 s succeeded that the old bound would
have failed. 60 s is about 1.6 times the largest observed success, and
it matches Pi and OpenCode.

**Live restart-chaos waves** (local, ACPX Claude only, 4 in flight,
`--rc06-masked`, real provider, K1/K2 restarts):

- s3601 (8 tasks, load 19 to 32): 7/8 PASS. No `session.open` timeout.
The one failure is an R3 Retry signature after K1
(`native_restart_recovery_blocked`), not this cause.
- s3602 (8 tasks, load 17 to 39): 8/8 PASS. No `session.open` timeout.
Three Retry clicks were for `native_provider_terminal_failed`
(`provider_turn_lost_on_restore`), a different restart signature.
- Forced timeout, s3609 (4 tasks, B5, K2): a local, uncommitted fault
injection gave every other cold startup a 1.5 s `session.open` deadline.
Result 4/4 PASS. Run 4fe6537a timed out, retried itself on the same run,
and then succeeded through four K2 restarts with no person involved. Run
02799a85 hit the injection three times in a row; the budget stopped it
after attempt 3, and one Retry completed it.
- Before the two clean-state fixes, the same forced wave (s3607 and
s3608) showed the retry reusing leftover state: `turn.start` failed with
`session_resume_required`, and then "ACPX session is not open". Those
runs are the red evidence for the two clean-state fixes.
- Final head, s3610 (8 tasks, K1/K2, no injection, load 28 to 42): **8/8
PASS**, 0 `session.open` timeouts. The one Retry click (t06) was for
`provider_turn_lost_on_restore`, a different restart signature.

**Tests:**

- Red before the fix: `native-startup-retry.integration.test.ts -t
timeout` (embedded PostgreSQL, real executor, real resume claim). The 3
retry cases failed with `native_session_interrupted` /
`ambiguous_state`.
- Green: `native-startup-retry.integration.test.ts` passes 36/36. New
cases:
- for each startup failure code, a timeout retries on the same run with
backoff, keeps the task `in_progress` with an agent-owned
`resume_native_run` wake, and blocks after attempt 3 with a board-owned
action;
- no automatic retry when `session.started` or `turn.started` is
durable, when the code is `provider_transport_failed`, or when another
command timed out;
- a real runner root with an opened session and no turn is quarantined;
a root with a turn command stays `ambiguous_state` and intact; a remote
runner is never prepared.
- `codex-runtime-adapter.test.ts`: 113 pass. New cases: a 45 s delayed
handshake is admitted for Claude and rejected for Codex; a
never-prompted record is reset only on a fresh open; records with
messages, a prompt or events are kept.
- `abandoned-bootstrap-record.test.ts` (real `createAcpRuntime` with
`createRuntimeStore` and a controlled ACP peer that, like Claude, cannot
load a never-prompted session): without the reset, a fresh open reuses
the record and the first turn fails with SESSION_RESUME_REQUIRED after
`session/load`. With the reset, the provider receives `session/new` and
the turn completes.
- `vitest run src/drivers/acpx src/cli` in the runner: 107 files, 1,935
tests pass.
- `native-session-executor.test.ts -t "session.open|startup|bootstrap"`:
144 pass. `runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts -t "cold process admission"`:
4 pass. `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --lib admission_budget`
passes.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server` and the runner `tsc -p
tsconfig.test.json` pass.

## Risks

- **This changes Runner Rust code. The Daytona runner image must be
rebuilt after merge** for remote sandboxes to get the 60-second sidecar
bound. Until then, a remote Claude `session.open` still fails at 30
seconds in the sidecar (as a definite failure, which already retries). A
remote timeout stays operator-owned, because a remote root cannot be
proven clean here.
- A cold ACPX Claude start that hangs now fails after about 60 seconds
instead of 30 seconds.
- A timed-out `session.open` may have created an empty provider session.
No prompt was sent. The retry quarantines that runner root and asks ACPX
for a new session.
- Same-run retries of a fresh-attempt Retry run can still fail with
`isolated_task_directory_binding_mismatch`. This is RC-35 (workspace
re-preparation), which has its own fix in progress.
- No schema or API change. The new error code appears on runs and in run
error codes.

## Model Used

tool use (shell, file edits, test execution).

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 e89be6ee83 fix(native): re-bootstrap a runner that a graceful drain suspended during bootstrap (#19665)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs start a local `paperclip-runnerd` process. The control
plane keeps a durable state root for each session.
> - After a restart, recovery gives a run with no provider evidence the
`bootstrap_incomplete` disposition. The executor quarantines the old
root and starts the bootstrap again, but only when the root proves that
no provider work started.
> - #19524 made that proof accept a root killed after `run.prepare` and
before `session.open` (a hard kill).
> - A graceful restart (SIGTERM) leaves different shapes. The drain
sends `runner.drain` and `runner.suspend`, and the kill can land just
after `session.open` failed or just after it started a fresh session.
The proof refused both shapes. The run failed with
`runner_state_identity_mismatch: bootstrap_not_proven_incomplete`,
although no turn was ever sent.
> - This pull request extends the proof to both drain shapes and keeps
provider work fail-closed.
> - The benefit is that a graceful restart during native bootstrap
continues automatically.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19524

**What happened?**
Restart chaos waves (ACPX Claude, K2 graceful restart about 10 s after
the run started) failed with `adapter_failed` and
`runner_state_identity_mismatch: bootstrap_not_proven_incomplete`.
Startup recovery chose `bootstrap_incomplete`, and the executor proof
refused the state root. Two real roots were kept:

1. `session.open` failed (the ACPX sidecar timed out), then
`runner.drain` completed and `runner.suspend` completed. There was 1
connection, no committed or acknowledged event, an empty runner outbox,
and `nextSourceSeq: 1`.
2. `session.open` completed with a freshly started session (`status:
"started"`). The committed events were only `session.started`,
`session.capabilities.updated` and `session.goal.snapshot`, and the
runner outbox held one `harness.diagnostic` (the sidecar process). No
turn command existed, and the sidecar process had exited. The database
had not yet recorded the session events, so the classifier saw no
provider evidence.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start an ACPX Claude task on a local runner.
2. Send SIGTERM to the control plane about 10 s after the run starts,
before the first turn.
3. Let the control plane restart.

**Expected behavior**
Recovery starts the bootstrap again, and the task continues without a
user action.

**Actual behavior**
The run fails and the task stops.

## What Changed

- `native-bootstrap-proof.ts`, pre-session proof: a `session.open` that
is pending or `failed` is now accepted, as are the runner lifecycle
commands `runner.drain`, `runner.suspend` and `runner.shutdown` in any
state. The controller journal and the runner journal must both agree.
Any committed or acknowledged event, any turn command, a completed
`session.open`, and any queued runner event still fail closed.
- New `runnerdStateIsOpenedSessionBeforeTurn`. It accepts a completed
`session.open` only when all of these are true:
  - the session was freshly started (`status: "started"`, not resumed);
- the commands are only `run.prepare`, `session.open` and runner
maintenance commands;
- every committed event and every event in the runner outbox is a
session setup or runner lifecycle event;
  - `ackedSourceSeq` equals the count of committed events, with no gap;
  - the runner journal is present;
  - every recorded provider process ID has exited on this host.
- `native-session-executor.ts`: the executor applies the opened-session
proof only for a local execution target. Remote runners stay fail-closed
for that shape, because their process IDs belong to another host. The
remote checkpoint classifier still reads only commands 1 and 2.

## Verification

- Red before the fix: "allows a fresh bootstrap after a drain suspended
a runner whose session.open failed" and "allows a fresh bootstrap after
a drain that landed between session.open and the first turn" both failed
with `expected false to be true`. Green after the fix: the `native
incomplete-bootstrap evidence` block passes 32/32.
- Fail-closed counter-tests:
  - completed `session.open`;
  - committed event, acknowledged event, or queued runner event;
  - turn command, `turn.stop`, or a turn processed by the runner;
  - `turn.started` or `provider.event`;
  - resumed session;
  - compacted events;
  - no recorded provider process;
  - missing runner journal;
  - live provider process;
  - remote runner.
- I ran the new proof read-only against the three real kept roots: the
K1 root from #19524, the K2 `session.open` failed root and the K2
opened-session root. All three return `true` for a local runner. The
opened-session root returns `false` when the processes are on another
host.
- `native-session-executor.test.ts` and
`native-restart-recovery.test.ts` filtered to bootstrap, restart, remote
and drain: 333 passed.
`native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts` and
`native-bootstrap-retry.integration.test.ts`: 106 passed. `tsc --noEmit
-p server/tsconfig.json` passes.
- Live restart chaos replay: see the PR comment.

## Risks

- After a `session.open` failure or timeout, the provider sidecar might
have created an empty session. No turn command was sent, so no provider
work can repeat.
- An opened session before any turn is discarded, and a new one is
started. The proof requires a fresh `started` session, so no earlier
conversation is lost. Resumed sessions stay fail-closed.
- The opened-session proof is local only. It requires every recorded
provider process to be gone, so a live provider process blocks it.
- Out of scope: the Retry offer when the proof fails legitimately
(RC-05/06).

DottaandPaperclip 9197abf673 fix(native): preserve controller state when remote archiving fails (#19663)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native continuity replacement must preserve the state needed to
recover saved work.
> - The current replacement moves local controller files before it knows
whether the remote archive succeeded.
> - A remote failure then leaves the local controller without its
recovery files.
> - This pull request confirms the remote archive before it moves those
files.
> - A user turn that never started can use the existing bounded Retry
path after verified preservation and cleanup.
> - The task retains its saved work and can continue once under current
user authority.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19638, #19547, #19399 and #19659.

The prerequisite #19638 merged as
`0819f4ea78dd37fba87341b314be9dac078c1410`. This PR now targets master.
A normal dependency integration at `febed950f4` keeps only the six-file
archive repair in the PR diff. Fresh master-based CI and review are
required before merge.

**What happened?**

A native continuity replacement moved its local controller journal and
provider checkpoint. The following remote archive failed. A later
recovery attempt could no longer read the local recovery files. The
first-attempt failure also had no normal Retry receipt for the saved
user turn.

**Expected behavior**

A failed or timed-out remote archive retains the local recovery files
and starts no replacement provider. A user turn that has not started can
request one normal Retry. The existing user, provider-turn, Stop,
preservation, cleanup, budget and approval gates remain in force.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Keep a local controller journal and provider checkpoint for a
retained remote conversation.
2. Request continuity replacement and fail or time out the remote
archive command.
3. Check the local controller files before any later recovery.
4. Settle the native failure under a current user wake and recover the
saved workspace.

## What Changed

- Confirm remote continuity archiving before moving the local controller
state.
- Add the exact remote archive failure to the shared bounded user Retry
admission from #19638.
- Verify failed, timed-out and successful archive ordering with real
local files.
- Verify ordinary failure settlement and saved-file recovery produce one
fresh successor. Keep Stop, system wake and unsettled-provider holds.
- Document the file preservation and Retry contract.

## Verification

- RED: failed and timed-out remote archives removed the local controller
files. Reading those files failed with ENOENT. The saved-user Retry
request returned false instead of true.
- Initial archive unit verification: eight cases passed, including the
three archive outcomes and five existing Cloud archive safety cases.
- Initial stacked revision: `9104ee399b`, based on #19638 at
`d22d8f9d5ee3dc36550a94d55c1d8376f3b9aab2`.
- Final master-based revision: `febed950f4`. All 13 affected cases
passed across three Vitest files after dependency integration. They
include the seven-mode real PostgreSQL completion case, saved-file
successor and negative-hold cases, and real-file archive outcomes. All
seven server typecheck layers passed again. Module boundary, whitespace
and added-code-comment checks passed. All required CI passed on this
exact head. The final snapshot has 59 successful checks, three intended
skips, one neutral result, and no pending or failed checks. Current-head
Greptile and the independent review are both 5/5, with no open findings.
- Final local revision: `9104ee399b`, macOS ARM64, Node 26.4.0, pnpm
9.15.4 and embedded PostgreSQL. The three real-file archive outcome
cases passed. The real PostgreSQL completion test passed all seven
internal scenarios, including archive failure, prior provider activity,
system wake, Stop before and after terminal settlement, and stale
runtime promotion. Own Runner/shared/SDK builds and all seven server
typecheck layers passed. Nine saved-work continuation and negative-hold
cases passed. They verify exported file contents, one user-attributed
fresh successor, idempotent hooks, no second automatic chain, and
first-use manual Retry for held cases.
- `node scripts/check-module-boundaries.mjs`, whitespace checks and the
added-code-comment audit passed.
- Focused commands from `server/`: Vitest with `-t 'retains the local
controller checkpoint until remote continuity archiving succeeds'`; `-t
'replays saved user intent through normal Retry'`; and `-t 'continues a
user turn once|does not continue automatically'`. PostgreSQL cases used
a fresh local cluster and a 120-second setup hook budget. Application
timeouts were unchanged.
- The initial stacked head passed all test, build, typecheck and E2E
jobs. Greptile and the independent review both scored it 5/5 with no
findings. These results do not replace the fresh master-based
qualification now running.

## Risks

- A remote command can fail after it changed remote state. This change
retains local evidence in that case. It does not claim a distributed
atomic transaction.
- The exact archive error can request one normal Retry only under the
existing saved-user admission. The normal path must prove stop, saved
files and cleanup before a successor starts.
- The protected launch-argument rejection remains enforced. Its exact
hosted argument difference was not available through ordinary access.
#19659 separately addresses a saved-thread feature-policy argument
difference. This PR preserves local archive evidence and does not claim
direct hosted verification of that primary cause.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 family through Codex, with reasoning, tool use and code
execution. The model is inherited; no override was used. The exact
serving model ID and context-window size are not exposed by this
runtime.

DottaandPaperclip 374a918d67 fix(runner): retain qualified OpenCode artifacts for cold recovery (#19622)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native recovery must keep admitted provider state and useful
workspace files.
> - OpenCode binds its saved session to exact executable paths and
hashes.
> - A replacement image can remove those files even when session data is
saved.
> - Retaining a manifest alone cannot restore the missing launch files.
> - This pull request saves the qualified files before provider work and
restores the same owned paths.
> - The benefit is cold continuity without relaxing the Runner guard or
replaying a prior turn.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19558. That fix retains the selected pack for ordinary
continuation. This change adds durable file retention for a cold
allocation. Related #19487 adjusts the admission budget; it does not
retain launch files. A search of open and closed OpenCode cold/durable
artifact PRs found no duplicate.

**What happened?**

A saved OpenCode session could outlive the image that supplied its Node
executable, proxy, and native executable. A new image supplied different
bytes. The Runner then correctly refused the changed launch profile. The
saved harness did not contain the old files.

**Expected behavior**

Core must save qualified launch files before the first turn. It must
restore those exact files under the same owned account and absolute
paths. Unknown ownership, missing files, and changed hashes must still
stop recovery.

**Steps to reproduce**

Start an admitted remote OpenCode session. Save its workspace, encrypted
checkpoint, and harness data. Destroy the original allocation and
controller files. Restore into a new allocation with an image whose
qualified proxy has different bytes. Resume the same session. The new
opt-in local qualification command automates this path with actual
OpenCode and a local synthetic model.

## What Changed

- Store company-bound, encrypted launch objects and canonical run/backup
references. Generate migration 0438 through the normal database
workflow.
- Stage qualified Node, proxy, and native OpenCode files under a private
content-addressed OS-account home. Record the account UID and exact
launch paths. Preserve the Rust profile guard.
- Gate first provider work on durable capture under the current native
claim. Bound Stop/deadline waits while the actual late transfer keeps
its worker and scratch ownership until settlement. Restore cold caches
with verified staging and atomic rename. Keep live reattachment and
historical image-rooted sessions on their existing paths.
- Reuse bounded canonical expiration owners. Atomically fence old
checkpoint authority with a strict company/run-scoped retirement marker
before external deletion. Keep its indexed cleanup anchor across failed
deletes and restart. Preserve earlier resume handles and reject later
header or source-consumer writes. Add no idle scan or network call
inside a transaction.
- Add storage, race, executor, filesystem, and actual Rust resume
regressions. Add the opt-in local Linux qualification command and
operating limits in `doc/opencode-cold-recovery.md`.

## Verification

- RED before repair: real PostgreSQL/AES cold restore lacked the launch
files; normal executor preparation chose the new image pack. Separate
regressions exposed lost upload receipts, missing cache repair,
last-owner retirement, an account-UID mismatch, and a resume-handle race
during external deletion. Each expected failure was captured before its
repair.
- Local qualification before the final master integration: 1,169
executor tests, 233 storage/archive/admission/expiration tests, all
seven server typecheck layers, migration safety, and the actual Rust
cold-resume test passed.
- The maintained Linux command passed with two cached immutable
Paperclip images whose proxy hashes differ. It removed the original
account/controller trees, restored the production published cwd under a
new lease, resumed the same actual OpenCode session, kept a useful file
and prior model context, and made one new synthetic model request. No
external model call or network was available in either container.
- The object-store fixture uses real encrypted StorageService streams
with an independent owned local directory. It is not hosted S3
acceptance or a complete task HTTP/actor workflow. Historical tasks
still require normal effects reconciliation and recovery after
deployment.
- Review regressions reproduced partial-cache publication,
resume-versus-deletion, fresh-writer and source-consumer resurrection,
and unbounded Stop/deadline waits before each repair. They now pass
through real filesystem, encrypted storage, PostgreSQL, and SDK
boundaries. File validation is split from database ownership (384/831
source lines).
- Clean runtime head `aadab7acc69ff959678030db46ffe2dcfbefe28f`: the
maintained actual OpenCode cold qualification passed with `dirty:false`.
It preserved the provider session and recorded launch paths, restored
useful workspace content and prior model context, and made exactly one
resumed synthetic model request. The 314,560,000-byte launch capture
took 23.118 seconds; the later harness was 833,536 bytes. Subsequent
repairs change backup-reference retirement and governed continuity-cache
classification; capture, restore, launch, and published-workspace inputs
are unchanged, so that runtime receipt remains scoped to those paths.
The continuity-break consumer is verified separately.
- Retention repair `c14d386cecf7123257918ba6a8d47307df2da397`: 68/68
affected real PostgreSQL/AES storage tests and 15/15 focused executor
authority/admission cases pass. All seven server typecheck layers pass
(source layers and unchanged test shards, with the final 590-file test
layer repeated after fixture edits). All review threads have
evidence-backed resolutions. Its subsequent CI caught the separate
lifecycle-classification gap described below. The refreshed Paperclip
review reported paused work, not a completed new review.
- Final head `4d1cd3e3309e328b11abc85adc6d78c6d0c7f55d`: all 19 focused
root-entry/executor cases and all three source declaration layers pass.
[Greptile reviewed this exact head at
5/5](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/19622#issuecomment-6695984874).
Final-head [CI
verification](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42308908167/job/128214100339)
passes: 60 successful checks, five conditional skips, and the explicitly
neutral paused Paperclip review. No check is pending or failing.
- CI also caught the launch cache missing from the session-root
lifecycle contract. Both the writer scan and a real governed-replacement
consumer failed locally before repair: old launch bytes remained in the
active root. The cache now archives with the prior session state; the
consumer verifies exact bytes are preserved in the archive and absent
from the active root.
- The latest review found that backup retirement could delete an
independent run pin while a selected session retained the checkpoint. A
real PostgreSQL/AES regression failed before the repair. Backup-only
ownership now uses a NULL-safe exact backup predicate; the run pin
belongs to fenced checkpoint expiration. The regression verifies
checkpoint decryption and launch-file restoration after pending-backup
cleanup, followed by deletion only after removing the final resume
handle.
- An executor first-session case checks new-session durable capture
through the real capture helper and receipt propagation into the actual
harness manifest at the backup boundary. Real storage cases verify the
run-profile receipt and canonical backup/run pins.
- Sequential closure reuse and simultaneous first admission are
different scopes. A deterministic two-uploader test measures both
independent uploads, one verified ready winner, loser-only deletion, and
usable restoration for both runs. Each capture is bounded to 512 MiB and
five minutes; up to three pending receipts per run are retained. There
is no claim of global single-flight capture or a company-wide egress
bound.
- Earlier optional warm-ownership verification encountered missing local
binaries. After exact-source setup, all nine ownership assertions
passed; two other suites encountered local PostgreSQL setup/teardown
contention, so those interrupted attempts are not passes. Required
current-head CI supplies the broad final coverage. No deployment or
hosted historical recovery is claimed.

## Risks

- This adds two tables and a forward migration. The file object is
bounded to 512 MiB. Capture adds one initial transfer; later harness
archives exclude those large files. Company-scoped ready objects are
shared and retained until the last canonical owner retires. Concurrent
initial admissions can duplicate bounded transfers; each keeps
independent ownership and cancellation rather than waiting on another
controller. A continuity break retains the controller cache with its
prior state until normal session-root cleanup, adding up to one bounded
launch closure per retired state.
- Cold continuity requires the same qualified Linux platform, supported
runtime dependencies, owned account UID/home, and published absolute
cwd. A mismatch fails closed. No alias or Rust guard change is included.
- Existing image-rooted profiles have no retained file object. This
change cannot backfill missing historical binaries. A fresh governed
session must reconcile prior effects first.
- Live reattachment does not read artifact objects. Storage or
provenance failures before a new turn hold admission. They do not grant
new execution, model, tool, or replay authority.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and local browser tools. The exact served model ID and
context window are not exposed in this session. No claim is made for
unavailable model metadata.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 7941f6b051 fix(runner): show OpenRouter's invalid model ID as a model rejection (#19548)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs use the Paperclip runner with drivers such as OpenCode
> - When a provider rejects the selected model, the product shows "Model
unavailable" and offers a model choice
> - OpenCode reports provider HTTP errors as `APIError` with the message
under `data`, not at the top level
> - The runner then reported "Provider turn failed", so an invalid model
ended as a generic adapter failure
> - This pull request classifies OpenRouter's invalid model ID with a
closed provider-failure category, and makes the server keep that
classification
> - The benefit is that a person sees "Model unavailable" and the real
provider message, and can choose another model

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A chat evaluation selected a model ID that OpenRouter does not know.
OpenCode reported `turn.failed` with `error: { name: "APIError", data: {
message: "<model> is not a valid model ID", statusCode: 400,
isRetryable: false } }`. The run was saved with `errorCode:
adapter_failed`. The task chat showed "The OpenCode run failed before it
completed." and no "Model unavailable" marker. The provider notice said
only "OpenCode session failed.".

**Expected behavior**
A non-retryable rejection of the selected model is saved as
`native_provider_model_rejected`, so the product shows "Model
unavailable" and the model choice. The notice shows the provider's
message.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Configure an OpenCode agent with an OpenRouter model ID that does not
exist.
2. Send the agent a message.
3. Before this change, the run fails as `adapter_failed` and the notice
says "OpenCode session failed.".

## What Changed

- `drivers/opencode/provider-failure.ts`: a non-retryable OpenCode
provider error whose message says the model is not valid (`not a valid
model`, `model_not_found`, model not found or not supported) gets the
closed category `model_unavailable`. A provider that allows a retry
keeps the existing category.
- `native-session-runtime.ts`: a non-recoverable failure with
`model_unavailable` is a model rejection. The runtime reads the closed
category, not provider text.
- `native-session-executor.ts`: a non-recoverable
`NativeProviderTerminalFailure` that the runner marked as a model
rejection is saved as `native_provider_model_rejected`. Before, every
such terminal was saved as `native_provider_terminal_failed` before the
marker was read.
- `drivers/opencode/opencode-server-driver.ts`: the provider notice
summary shows the provider message from `data` when there is no
top-level message. Provider text is not used as the turn failure
message, so it does not reach `run.error` or Sentry.
- Tests: provider-failure mapping (retryable and non-retryable), runtime
classification by category, driver notice summary with no failure
message, and an executor test for the saved code and terminal
disposition.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run src/native-session-runtime.test.ts
src/drivers/provider-failure.test.ts src/drivers/opencode` in
`packages/paperclip-runner`: 16 files, 412 tests passed.
- `npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts` in
`server`: 1,152 tests passed.
- Negative controls: reverting the provider-failure mapping, the runtime
check, or the executor branch each makes its new test fail.

## Risks

- Low risk. Classification uses a closed category and a runner-set
marker, not provider text.
- The model check on the provider message is text-based inside the
OpenCode mapper. A provider that uses "not a valid model" for another
reason with a non-retryable error will show "Model unavailable".
- Provider text appears in the notice summary, as provider notices
already did for top-level messages.

ee6c101854 Reject failover backups behind the accepted event cursor (#19613)
A verified failover backup can still trail events already accepted by the controller. Compare the backup produced cursor with the registered controller state, or the supported local journal before registration, and reject stale files before remote sync. Keep the permanent replay-conflict classification ahead of generic Runner errors.

Validation: 1,192 native session and execution-driver tests and 10 workflow tests pass locally, together with the maintained low-memory Runner test project typecheck and fresh server declarations. All applicable checks on cd8c9cd07c are green (56 success, three skipped); exact-head Apex review is 5/5 with no unresolved findings. One e2e shard was retried after GitHub reported lost self-hosted runner communication, and the same-head rerun passed. No acknowledgement was lowered, provider replay authorized, or recovery files discarded.

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 a7d3d4b78c fix(runner): rotate local and external authority through one resumable path (#19547)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The Paperclip Runner moves a native session from one run to the next
with an authority rotation, for Codex and for every ACPX provider
> - A rotation archives the prior run's controller state under
`authority-epochs/` and archives the Runner state, locally or on an
external Runner host
> - If the run fails after the rotation but before the new Runner
starts, retry preparation restores the prior run's controller checkpoint
into the session root
> - The retry then finds an active `control-plane` next to the archive
marker and fails with `native_runner_authority_archive_conflict`. Every
later run for the session fails the same way
> - The local and external rotations were two copies of the same steps,
with different retry rules, and the sandbox archive script had a third
set of rules
> - This pull request gives every provider and Runner placement one
resumable rotation path, with the same retry rules for controller state
and Runner state
> - The benefit is that one failed startup no longer makes a native
session unusable

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists. Bug description:

**What happened?**
A warm Codex session on an external (plugin) Runner failed its first
attempt after the authority rotation finished. The two automatic retries
both failed with `native_session_recovery_failed: Error:
native_runner_authority_archive_conflict`, and the run stopped. On disk,
the session root had
`authority-epochs/epoch-<key>/control-plane/control-plane-state.json`
and an active `control-plane/control-plane-state.json` with the same
identity (in this case, also the same sha256). The remote Launcher had
already archived the Runner state under the same key.

**Expected behavior**
A retry resumes the interrupted rotation. The rotation already supports
this when only the archive marker exists.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a native Codex or ACPX session on an external Runner.
2. Start a new run for that session. Make the new Runner fail to start
after the rotation finishes.
3. Let the run retry. Retry preparation (`restoreWarmRunnerdController`
/ `restorePerTurnRunnerdController` →
`restoreNativeControllerProjections`) restores the prior run's
controller checkpoint into the session root.
4. The retry fails with `native_runner_authority_archive_conflict`. All
later runs for the session also fail.

The new `authority rotation after the prior controller state is
restored` tests reproduce steps 2–4 directly.

**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at 35280516c0.

**Deployment mode**
Hosted, with a remote (plugin) Runner environment.

**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Codex (native Paperclip Runner). ACPX providers use the same rotation
code.

## What Changed

- **One rotation path.** `rotateAuthorityEpoch` replaces
`rotateLocalAuthorityEpoch` and `rotateExternalAuthorityEpoch`. The only
difference between Runner placements is a `RunnerStateArchive` (`read`,
`archive`):
- `localRunnerStateArchive(root)` for Runner state under `<root>/runner`
  - `#externalRunnerStateArchive()` for a plugin task or a sandbox host
- **One caller.** The transport chooses the rotation source (the live
control plane, or the latest archive), then makes one call. Locally
owned state is still quarantined on failure.
- **Committed rotation, normalized once.** Retry preparation restores
the prior run's controller checkpoint, but an earlier attempt may
already have archived that authority and its Runner state.
`takeCommittedRotation` runs right after the transport reads the control
plane. When the epoch archive for the active copy's exact identity
exists, it removes the restored copy and continues on the archive-only
path. Every later check (the warm-handoff evidence read, the
source-attachment settlement read, and the rotation) then sees the state
the rotation committed, instead of reading retired live Runner state. A
copy that still holds an unfinished warm transition, staged attachment,
or pending `run.attach` fails closed.
- **Restored controller state.** When the epoch archive exists, an
active control plane with the same schema and the exact archived
identity is a copy of authority that the rotation already retired. The
rotation removes it and resumes from the archived snapshot. This
compares identity, not bytes, because a checkpoint restore serializes
the state again and drops fields such as `ackedSourceSeq`. Any other
active state still fails closed.
- **Duplicate Runner state.** Local Runner state now follows the
computer Launcher's rules: move it, accept it already archived, drop a
byte-identical live copy beside the archive, or fail closed. The local
archive also checks that the live state is suspended before it moves it.
- **Sandbox archive script.** The script is now
`REMOTE_RUNNER_AUTHORITY_ARCHIVE_SCRIPT` and follows the same rules. It
uses `cmp` for the duplicate check and fails closed when `cmp` is not
available.
- **Sandbox host preparation after a resumed rotation.** A resumed
rotation archives the remote Runner state without preparing the host
first. When `archiveExternalRunnerState` succeeds, the server now
records the archived snapshot path. The launch's host preparation
(`inspectRemoteHarnessState`) validates that snapshot instead of the
missing live `runner-state.json`, with the same provider-state and
identity checks. Only these host preparation checks use the archived
snapshot; close checkpointing and backup-restore verification always
inspect the live `runner-state.json`. The SSH staging check treats it as
present, so retired state is not staged back.
- **Host preparation.** The external archive prepares its host only when
it reads live Runner state. Before, only one of the two caller branches
prepared the host. A resumed rotation finds the state already archived,
and preparing again could stage it a second time.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run src/live/runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts -t
"rotation"` in `packages/paperclip-runner`: 16 passed.
- External and local rotations with a byte-identical, a re-serialized,
and an other-authority restored control plane. The first two resume from
the archived snapshot. The third fails closed and keeps the copy.
- Local rotation with an identical duplicate Runner state (resumes) and
a different duplicate (fails closed and keeps it).
- The existing crash-before and crash-after remote archive retry cases.
- Before the source change, the byte-identical external case failed with
`native_runner_authority_archive_conflict`.
- `npx vitest run src/live/runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts -t "transport
retry after a committed rotation"` in `packages/paperclip-runner`: 4
passed. These go through the transport's real start path. A completed
warm handoff and a source attachment hook now resume from the archive;
before the normalization, both read the archived live Runner state and
failed. An unfinished warm transition and a pending attachment fail
closed; before, the pending attachment was silently dropped.
- `npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts -t "remote
authority archiv"` in `server`: 6 passed. Five new cases run the real
archive script with `sh` against temporary files: a new archive, an
existing archive, an identical duplicate, a different duplicate, and no
state. The existing mocked archive test also passes.
- `npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts -t "resumed
rotation archived"` in `server`: 2 passed. A resumed sandbox with a
retained backup goes through the real archive script and host
preparation. It failed with `runner_harness_state_mismatch:
resumed_unavailable` before the host preparation fix. A settled close
checkpoint with no live Runner state then fails closed with
`runner_remote_checkpoint_incomplete`, rather than checking the archived
snapshot. Without a completed rotation, a missing live state still fails
closed.
- `pnpm run typecheck:typescript` in `packages/paperclip-runner` and
`node scripts/typecheck-layers.mjs` in `server`: pass.
- The full `runnerd-codex-transport*.test.ts`,
`cursor-cloud-runner-launch.test.ts`, and adoption test files fail on
the same 110 tests with and without this change. These tests need the
built `paperclip-runnerd` binary, which needs `cargo`. `cargo` is not
installed locally, so CI covers them.

## Risks

- The change is only on the rotation path. A rotation that has no
archive marker behaves as before: it reads and checks live Runner state,
then archives the control plane.
- A rotation removes an active control plane only when an archive for
that exact identity exists and the active copy has the same schema and
identity. A new run's authority has a different identity, so it cannot
match.
- On a resume, the rotation now uses the archived controller snapshot,
not the caller's copy. The archive is the exact pre-rotation state. A
checkpoint restore can omit fields from it.
- An external Runner whose options define `readRunnerState` and
`archiveExternalRunnerState` but not `prepareExternalRunnerState` can
now rotate a live control plane. Before, that branch required the
prepare hook. The plugin and sandbox drivers define all three.
- The sandbox duplicate check needs `cmp`. A host without `cmp` fails
closed as before.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, used through Claude
Code with tool use (shell, file edits, test runs). It diagnosed the
failure from the run events, the server logs, and the on-disk controller
and Launcher state, then wrote the fix and the tests.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 586caa5f49 fix(native): hand a shutdown-interrupted startup to the next controller (#19596)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The native Runner path runs an agent turn through a runnerd process
that the control plane owns
> - A restart of the control plane must keep the task going without a
click, if that is safe
> - A graceful shutdown closes the HTTP listener first and then drains
the heartbeat runs
> - A native run that was between provider dispatch and runnerd backend
setup in that gap failed with `local_runtime_api_listener_unavailable`,
so the drain did not see it as running and did not suspend it for the
next boot
> - This pull request makes that failure a restart detach: the run stays
running with its claim, the drain suspends it, and the next controller
adopts it
> - The benefit is that a SIGTERM in this window no longer spends a
failure and a same-run retry, and the task continues by itself

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19530 (the same restart window, before provider dispatch).

**What happened?**

In a restart chaos replay (ACPX Claude, local runner), a
restart-recovered run got SIGTERM while
`createRunnerdBackendWithinSessionClaim` built the runnerd backend.
`resolveLocalRuntimeApiUrl()` threw
`local_runtime_api_listener_unavailable` because shutdown had already
closed the listener. The run settled `failed`. The drain then logged
`restartSuspendedRunIds: []`. The next boot used the one bootstrap
retry. A second SIGTERM hit the same window, and the task stopped at a
manual Retry.

**Expected behavior**

A run that this process cannot continue because it is shutting down is
handed to the next controller. It is not settled as failed.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a native Runner task and restart the server (K1) so that
startup recovery resumes the run.
2. Send SIGTERM while the resumed run sets up its runnerd backend.
3. See the run fail with `local_runtime_api_listener_unavailable` and
the drain report no suspended runs.

## What Changed

- `server/src/runtime-api.ts`: `resolveLocalRuntimeApiUrl()` throws the
new `LocalRuntimeApiListenerClosedError` when this process had a
listener and closed it (the `listening` flag is false or the `close`
event fired). The error message stays
`local_runtime_api_listener_unavailable`, so the existing classifiers do
not change. A listener that never started still throws the plain error.
- `server/src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.ts`: for a
local Runner, the startup failure handler treats
`LocalRuntimeApiListenerClosedError` like a restart detach. It stops
lease renewal, keeps the claim and throws
`NativeControllerDetachedForRestartError`. Heartbeat already keeps such
a run `running`. A remote Runner keeps the same-run bootstrap retry from
#19462, because startup recovery has no process evidence to adopt a
claimed remote startup
(`native-runner-restart-preparation.integration.test.ts` still covers
that path).
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: describe the new rule.
- Tests: a heartbeat regression that closes the real runtime API
listener before backend setup, then drains and restarts; a unit test for
the closed versus never-started listener; two `vi.mock` factories keep
the real module exports.

## Verification

- Red before the fix: `pnpm exec vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-native-restart-suspension.test.ts -t listener`
failed with `restartSuspendedRunIds: []` and the run `failed`
(`local_runtime_api_listener_unavailable`, `bootstrap_retry`).
- Green after the fix: the same test passes. The drain suspends the run,
the run stays `running` with `awaiting_runner_reattach`, and the next
controller claims it and reaches the backend once.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-native-restart-suspension.test.ts
src/http/server.test.ts
src/__tests__/server-startup-feedback-export.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-recovered-owner-followup.test.ts`:
1333 tests pass. One timing test in `native-session-executor.test.ts`
failed once under host load average ~30 and passed alone.
- `pnpm exec tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json`: pass.
- Live, restart chaos harness, local ACPX Claude (`claude-sonnet-5`),
`--rc06-masked`, this branch at a35ec8b845 (before the remote-scope
commit 5dc63f24fb, which does not change the local path). The original
replay schedule no longer reached the window, because the task now ends
before the second fault. So I moved the faults earlier: K1 at 10 s, then
K2 as soon as the recovered server is ready.
- K1 + K2, 2 runs: both runs PASS with **R1 pass**. Each drain logged
`restartSuspendedRunIds: [<run>]` (before: `[]`). The next boot
classified the run `resume_dead_runner` and the same run completed. No
`local_runtime_api_listener_unavailable` failure.
- K1 + K2 + K2, 2 runs: each drain suspended the run. The fourth boot
blocked the run with `native_restart_recovery_blocked`, because three
restart claims used the three-attempt recovery budget. Retry then
completed the task (R3 pass). That budget count is a separate open item.
This pull request does not change it.

## Risks

- Low. The new path applies only after this process closed its own
listener, which happens only during shutdown. The run then waits for the
drain or the next boot, as for the other restart detaches.
- If shutdown does not reach the drain (for example SIGKILL after the
listener closes), the run keeps its live claim until the claim expires.
Then startup recovery handles it as a hard restart. This is the same as
any run that is running at a hard kill.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, through Claude Code
with tool use (shell, file edits, GitHub CLI). Extended reasoning on.

DottaandPaperclip b55d8a9201 fix(runner): retain admitted OpenCode pack on ordinary continuation (#19558)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and preserves their work across runs.
> - Native OpenCode turns can restore a saved provider session after the
prior daemon stops.
> - The Rust provider binds that saved state to exact qualified launch
paths and artifact bytes.
> - Ordinary continuation selected the current provider pack, although
live reattachment retained the admitted pack.
> - A new proxy or a diagnostics setting could therefore replace the
launch profile behind saved state.
> - This pull request retains the recorded pack for ordinary OpenCode
continuation with a verified durable binding.
> - The benefit is compatible continuation without weakening artifact
integrity or granting replay authority.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #17512, #18237. These added saved authority and compatible pack
reuse. This change covers ordinary OpenCode continuation.

**What happened?**

An ordinary remote OpenCode continuation could select a newer pack while
restoring its existing provider session. The Rust recovery guard then
rejected the changed launch profile. The same error can occur after a
controller release changes the bundled proxy.

**Expected behavior**

A continuation with a valid saved binding and pack receipt uses the same
admitted artifacts. If those artifacts are unavailable, it holds the
saved state instead of selecting another pack or creating a provider
session.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Admit a remote OpenCode session with a qualified protected provider
pack.
2. Persist its pack receipt and suspended durable Runner state.
3. Change the controller bundle to a valid pack with a different proxy
digest.
4. Start an ordinary continuation with diagnostics enabled.

The new executor regression fails before the repair because selection
rejects the available original pack in favor of the new bundle. It
passes after the repair.

## What Changed

- Retain the saved provider pack for ordinary OpenCode continuation with
a verified durable session binding.
- Keep provider-pack retention independent of surviving-daemon identity:
a new daemon records its current binary, and an authorized continuity
break restores normal compatible pack selection.
- Test retained pack selection after a proxy upgrade and fail closed
when only a newer pack is available.
- Test the real Rust executor with changed, valid proxy file bytes. It
rejects drift without changing saved state and accepts the original
artifacts again.
- Document the selection rule and its limits.

## Verification

- Initial prevention focused Vitest: 220 passed across native session
execution, pack authority, pack verification and pack preparation. The
executor regression was observed failing before the production change.
- Rust native provider tests: all five OpenCode tests passed. These
include the existing drift guard, actual changed proxy bytes, original
artifact restoration and restart-lost turn behavior.
- Advisory review follow-up: reproduced stale daemon identity in the
actual executor and incompatible pack selection after a governed
continuity archive. Both fail before their corresponding repairs and
pass after them. Added an executor regression for a missing authority
receipt; it remains at the current release integrity gate without
creating a new receipt.
- Updated head `639c080856` integrates master `17901d74ba` by normal
merge. Affected Vitest: 202 passed across four files, including all new
review regressions; all seven server typecheck layers passed. Exact-head
CI and fresh Greptile/Paperclip review are pending. The prior head had
57 successful checks plus successful Snyk and Greptile 5/5; those
results do not qualify this revision.
- Environment: macOS arm64, Node 26.4.0, locked pnpm 9.15.4
dependencies, controlled remote command boundary and real Rust provider
executor. No paid provider calls or hosted retries.
- This is a bounded prevention change. It does not deliver historical
provider artifacts to a replacement sandbox or replacement controller.
Missing saved receipts or unavailable old artifacts remain a separate
cold-recovery gap. No full hosted recovery is claimed.

## Risks

- A continuation now requires its exact recorded pack when it has a
durable binding. A newer installed pack cannot substitute for missing
historical bytes.
- Fresh launches, other providers and explicit continuity replacement
keep their existing paths. Current ownership, company, model, permission
and receipt binding checks remain in effect.
- The repair does not relax the Rust launch-profile guard, replay prior
tool effects, or authorize a new provider conversation. Existing
published review receipts remain history.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The host does not expose the exact model ID
or context window. Capabilities used: reasoning, code editing, shell
execution, tests and authenticated read-only browser diagnostics.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 1391f64551 Add gated release/resume methods to plugin Runner owners (#19584)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Core owns Runner tasks through a lease-bound plugin owner.
> - The SDK already defines release and resume in #19468.
> - The owner still expects an accepted result for both operations, so
it cannot use those SDK results.
> - This pull request adds both methods behind the existing capability,
warm-task and account checks.
> - It uses the SDK parser to verify the result and task ID, and
preserves the owner's cancellation checks.
> - This prepares the owner boundary for later lifecycle integration. It
does not start automatic release or resume.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Problem or motivation**

The plugin Runner owner cannot forward the existing SDK release/resume
pair. Its local result mapping rejects their valid results. Later
lifecycle code needs both operations on the same checked task owner.

**Proposed solution**

Pass the existing description capability to the owner. Add explicit
release and resume methods and use the SDK's operation-result parser.
Require warm-task support and a selected account. Reject calls and late
receipts after owner cancellation or detachment.

**Alternatives considered**

Adding automatic release here would also require connection quieting,
settled-event drain, pending-ticket retry ownership and safe disposal.
Keep those changes together in the next integration. Do not add a new
flag, schema, timer or lifecycle mode here.

Related: #19468. I checked ROADMAP.md and found no duplicate planned
item. An open-PR title search for release/resume found no overlapping
pull request.

## What Changed

- Add the capability-gated owner facade for Codex and ACPX. Resume
returns only `resumed` or `unavailable`.
- Use the SDK parser for exact task-ID and operation-result validation.
- Pass `releaseResumeVersion` from the checked description and test that
it does not cause an automatic operation.
- Cover account-preserving owner rebind, missing prerequisites,
malformed results, ambiguous errors, cancellation and late replies.
- Document the caller's remaining settlement, connection, ticket and
attachment duties.

## Verification

Passed locally on Node 26.12.0 with the pinned workspace dependencies:

- In `server/`: `pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/plugin-runner-task.test.ts` — 74 tests
passed.
- In `server/`: `pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts -t 'uses a
task-only'` — 3 cases passed; 1,160 unrelated cases were not selected.
- Built the real workspace SDK dependencies and Runner TypeScript. A
focused strict TypeScript program for the owner and its tests passed.
- `git diff --check` and the added-line secret/PII scan passed.

The first root test command selected a nonexistent Vitest project name
and ran no tests. Running the test from the server package fixed the
command. The first focused TypeScript setup could not find Node types;
pointing it to the package's installed type definitions fixed that
setup. The full regression suite and release checks run in GitHub.

## Risks

The facade has no automatic caller. Existing warm timeout, bootstrap,
outbound connection and pool behavior stay in place. No plugin
capability is advertised or task control channel enabled by this pull
request.

Future integration must serialize release with new work and disposal. It
must quiet the owned connection, keep the exact pending ticket after an
ambiguous reply, authenticate the source again and finish ordinary run
attachment before new work. This change does not qualify provider
parking, cold recovery, retention policy or deployment.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol, exact model ID `gpt-6.1-sol`, High reasoning. Used
code execution and targeted tests. The context-window size was not
exposed.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 beaa9a622d fix(native): re-bootstrap a runner killed before session.open (#19524)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs start a local `paperclip-runnerd` process. The control
plane keeps a durable state root for each session.
> - When the control plane restarts, restart recovery classifies each
live native run. A run whose runner died before any provider identity
existed gets the `bootstrap_incomplete` disposition. Recovery then
quarantines the old state root and starts the bootstrap again.
> - The executor accepts that disposition only when the durable state
root proves that no provider work started. The old proof required
`connectionCount === 0` and every command `pending`.
> - A restart chaos wave killed the server about 2 s after runnerd
started. The runner had connected and completed `run.prepare`, but
`session.open` was still pending. No event was committed, so no provider
session or turn existed.
> - The proof rejected that root. The run failed with
`runner_state_identity_mismatch: bootstrap_not_proven_incomplete`, and
the task stopped with `native_continuation_requires_reconciliation`.
Nothing continued automatically.
> - This pull request widens the proof to the exact window where
provider work cannot have started, and keeps every other shape
fail-closed.
> - The benefit is that a restart during native runner bootstrap
continues automatically for every native provider.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A control plane restart that lands after the native runner connected and
acknowledged `run.prepare`, but before `session.open` completed, fails
the run with `adapter_failed` and `runner_state_identity_mismatch:
bootstrap_not_proven_incomplete`. Startup recovery chose
`bootstrap_incomplete` (controller generations 2 and 3), but the
executor proof in `migrateRunnerdStateRootForExecution` refused it. The
durable control-plane state had `connectionCount: 1`, `run.prepare`
completed, `session.open` pending, no committed events, and
`ackedSourceSeq: 0`. The runner journal had `nextSourceSeq: 1`, an empty
outbox, and the provider state was `prepared` with no provider session
ID.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a native task (seen with OpenCode on a local runner; the window
applies to every native provider).
2. Kill the control plane about 2 s after runnerd starts, after
`run.prepare` completes and before `session.open` completes.
3. Let the control plane restart.

**Expected behavior**
Recovery quarantines the state root and starts the bootstrap again. The
task continues without a user action.

**Actual behavior**
The run fails and the task is blocked with
`native_continuation_requires_reconciliation`.

## What Changed

- `runnerdStateIsIncompleteBootstrap` (native-session-executor.ts) now
also accepts a connected root when all of these are true: no committed
event, `ackedSourceSeq === 0`, only `run.prepare` and `session.open`
commands, `session.open` not completed, `run.prepare` pending or
completed, no warm transition or staged attachment, and the bootstrap
was not adopted.
- When `runner/runner-state.json` exists, the runner journal must agree:
empty outbox, `nextSourceSeq === 1`, `ackedSourceSeq === 0`, and no
completed `session.open` or other processed command. An unreadable
runner journal stays fail-closed. This covers events that the runner
emitted but the controller never committed.
- The remote "claim an untouched session" path keeps the old
never-connected proof (`runnerdStateIsUnconnectedBootstrap`), so its
behavior does not change.
- Tests: a red test with the production state shape (connected,
`run.prepare` completed, `session.open` pending), plus fail-closed
counter-tests for a completed `session.open`, committed or acknowledged
events, a turn command, a failed `run.prepare`, an adopted bootstrap, a
warm transition, an uncommitted runner event, a runner-completed
`session.open`, a runner-processed turn, and a torn runner journal.

## Verification

- Red before the fix: `pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts -t "native
incomplete-bootstrap evidence"` failed on "allows a fresh bootstrap
after connect and run.prepare when session.open never completed"
(`expected false to be true`). Green after the fix: 13/13.
- The proof run against the kept durable state root from the failing
wave (read only) returns `true` after the fix.
- Related suites: `native-session-executor.test.ts` and
`native-restart-recovery.test.ts` filtered to
`bootstrap|restart|remote|unstarted|untouched`: 301 passed.
- `tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json` passes.
- Live restart chaos proof: see the comment on this PR.

## Risks

- The proof now accepts a root where the runner received `session.open`
but did not complete it. The runner can have started a provider process
or created an empty provider session in that window. Recovery only
proceeds when restart classification already proved that the runner
process and its group are dead and no known provider process is alive.
No provider turn can exist, because the controller never issued a turn
command. The worst case is an orphaned empty provider session, not
repeated work.
- Every state with committed or acknowledged events, a completed
`session.open`, a turn, a warm transition, an adopted bootstrap, or an
unreadable runner journal still fails closed.
- Out of scope: when the proof fails legitimately, the task offers the
existing execution-blocker Retry. In the failing wave the issue
interruption also showed a budget wait (`userAction: budget`). That is
the RC-06 accounting issue and belongs to a separate fix.

DottaandPaperclip 7c0922a7b6 fix(native): preserve provider backups during slow workspace saves (#19359)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Remote native sessions save provider state so another web server can
continue the same conversation.
> - A provider can suspend while its accepted result is still saving a
large workspace.
> - The run has released its live lease at that point. A new
backup-owner lookup rejects this uncommitted state.
> - This pull request captures the real owner during backend creation
and retains it with the current session authority.
> - The existing database checks still reject a changed boot,
generation, result, or successor before inspection and during
publication.
> - The benefit is that a slow workspace save no longer prevents the
provider backup.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A remote session can fail to save its provider backup with
`native_harness_storage_owner_missing`. The provider has suspended, but
its accepted result is still in `workspace_finalizing`. The close
callback tries to acquire a new owner after the run released its lease.
A later allocation cannot use a backup that was never published.

**Expected behavior**

Save the suspended provider with the authority acquired during
execution. Recheck that authority before provider inspection and before
and after upload. Keep result finalization and provider-work permissions
unchanged.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a remote native session with durable provider storage.
2. Accept its result and release the live lease while its workspace save
remains pending.
3. Close the provider transport. The old owner lookup rejects the save
before provider inspection.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on master `bf10bc695abaef6b20e85b287f456b5ce2edb266`.

**Deployment mode**

A web server with object storage and remote managed Runner sessions.

Related: #19225 retains failed-turn ownership through close. #18436
restores an external controller checkpoint before a changed warm process
is replaced. This change fixes late backup-owner acquisition while an
accepted result saves its workspace.

## What Changed

- Capture the provider backup owner when the remote backend still owns
its execution lease.
- Bind that owner to the current session authority. An older close
callback selects the current warm attachment's owner. Revalidate the
captured fence before inspecting or skipping provider state.
- Add a regression for the close callback during workspace finalization.
- Restore encrypted provider files with a captured owner while workspace
finalization remains pending. Reject boot, generation, result, and
successor changes during upload.
- Document the ownership contract.

## Verification

- Observed the callback regression fail on the old code with
`native_harness_storage_owner_missing`. The same test passes with this
fix.
- `cd server && node ../node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run --config
vitest.config.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-harness-backup-storage.integration.test.ts`:
59 passed, using real PostgreSQL and encrypted object write/readback.
- `node scripts/check-module-boundaries.mjs`: passed.
- Full workspace typecheck: passed with the complete production fix.
- Native execution: 1,151 passed. Managed warm lifecycle: 9 passed.
These tests require a lost-owner error during shutdown, including before
an incomplete provider checkpoint is skipped. The final change to the
lifecycle test also requires rejection after lease renewal is lost.
- Full local `pnpm build`: passed on the final head.
- The full local `pnpm test:run` stopped in chat shard 6 on five
existing deadline assertions. Earlier chat shards passed; the PR CI chat
shards passed. This is not a full local-suite pass.
- The first CI server shard 4 attempt failed the unchanged legacy
environment-inheritance fixture at its five-second completion wait. The
same failure reproduced locally on the repair head and on an earlier
checkout without this repair. One unchanged CI retry passed. No fixture
assertion or timeout change is shipped.
- Latest-head CI has passed. Greptile reviewed the final head at 5/5
with no open threads. The separate Paperclip Review is paused. This PR
does not claim staging acceptance.

## Risks

The backup owner now lives with its session authority. A wrong authority
selection must fail rather than publish provider state. Database
publication still checks the original company, task, run, boot,
generation, and accepted result before and after upload. Tests change
the owner during upload and verify that the selected backup stays
intact. No schema, data migration, or new provider-work permission
changes.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 model family, with reasoning and code execution
tools. The host does not expose the exact runtime model ID or
context-window limit.

DottaandPaperclip 789a71bc17 fix(runner): retry quarantined tasks in their saved workspace (#19340)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native sessions retain execution ownership and action history across
turns.
> - Task Retry must prove that old execution has stopped before it
starts another turn.
> - An attempt can inherit its predecessor's identity and fail before it
launches a provider.
> - The cleanup proof searched under that failed attempt and compared
unrelated event sequences.
> - This pull request verifies the retained owner and starts one fresh
authorized turn.
> - Saved results and uncertain action outcomes remain intact.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?** Task Retry accepted repeated clicks but kept the
canonical request deferred with `executionWait.reason: local_cleanup`.
It created no successor, although the retained local worker and provider
had stopped.

**Expected behavior:** After exact cleanup proof, admit one fresh turn.
Preserve the old journal and result. Keep unresolved action outcomes
unknown.

**Steps to reproduce:**
1. Finish a local native turn with retained cleanup state and a saved
result.
2. Let the next attempt inherit its identity and fail with
`native_session_cleanup_quarantined` before any launch.
3. Upgrade across a tool-contract change, then click task Retry.
4. The old code requires the failed attempt's stop receipt and journal
identity. It also requires the current tool fingerprint and equal
sequence numbers across raw and normalized events. Those requirements
cannot match the retained owner.

**Paperclip version or commit:** Reproduced on `31bf6e4482`.
**Deployment mode / installation method:** Authenticated, self-hosted
source checkout.
**Agent adapter(s) involved:** Native `paperclip_runner`, local Codex
app-server. The shared physical-stop proof also covers ACPX.
**Database mode:** Embedded PostgreSQL 18.1.
**Access context:** Board task Retry.
**Node.js version / operating system:** Incident: Node 24.20.0, Linux
ARM64. Local verification: macOS ARM64.
**Relevant logs or output:** Accepted Retry stays in
`deferred_issue_execution`; no new run or provider launch occurs.
**Relevant config:** Per-turn local native execution. The old tool
contract differs from the current contract.
**Additional context:** Related: #19311 prevents the oversized tool
result that can lead to retained cleanup. #18217 covers broader cleanup
isolation and retained-result maintenance. #19134 admits stopped Runner
sources under the current run lease. This patch fixes explicit
continuation admission on current master.

## What Changed

- Resolve the retained journal's owner under the same company, task,
agent, workspace, native session, and runner instance.
- Require terminal ownership, settled controllers, released local
leases, and exact inherited process birth. Refuse any launch evidence on
the failed attempt.
- Accept a current host's verified process absence from its exact launch
receipt when an older server lacks a stop receipt. A later launch
invalidates that observation.
- Validate normalized receipts against their own IDs, sequences, and
digests. Match ordered provider identities to the independent raw
journal.
- Keep tool compatibility at the session reuse boundary. Explicit
continuation always uses a fresh session.
- Bind the stop proof to its exact successor and canonical Retry
receipt. Reuse the proven local workspace through normal preparation.
Refuse changed bindings, closed or remote workspaces, pending
operations, and other live leases. Projectless run-ID placeholders keep
the existing fresh-workspace fallback.
- Retain journals, results, files, and uncertain action outcomes. Add
regression and opt-in live acceptance coverage.
- Make the split-handoff browser test wait for both child-completion
notices and all run settlement before teardown. Assert the final task
set stays unchanged.

## Verification

- Red: canonical Retry on the original code accepts one saved intent but
creates zero successors and records `local_cleanup`.
- Red: distinct raw and normalized event sequences reproduce that wait
after owner resolution alone. After admission was repaired, live
acceptance then exposed the empty-attempt workspace problem. A
PostgreSQL regression also reproduced that wrong workspace selection.
- Green at `6684df5e82`: **479 targeted cases**, including 26 new
PostgreSQL cases for duplicate clicks, exact process and workspace
ownership, controller/lease fences, changed state, and independent
receipt integrity. The complete 1,150-test native executor suite passed
earlier.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass again at final head
`432a52bea8`, including its build stamp. Token gates pass. Master now
contains the unrelated directory-fixture type correction found during
the first typecheck.
- Real authenticated HTTP Retry with Codex `gpt-6.1-sol`, high effort,
and per-turn execution passes again at final head `432a52bea8` (93.3
seconds). It preserves the first file line, appends the second once,
starts a fresh session in the existing workspace, keeps the retained
journal unchanged, commits finalization, and clears task locks.
- The strengthened split-handoff browser scenario passes **three
consecutive local runs**. Its original CI teardown and one same-head
rerun failed when cleanup cancelled an active legacy
completion-notification run and hit a PostgreSQL row-lock timeout. The
scenario now waits for the complete handoff before cleanup. [Initial
failure](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42106466518/job/127523693634),
[same-head
rerun](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42106466518/job/127531698321).
These failures remain part of the verification record.
- The local full `pnpm test:run` passed all six chat integration shards.
Its obsolete pre-rebase attempt was stopped during the general server
phase; no complete local-suite pass is claimed. Full CI, including both
required gates, passed at `6684df5e82`. At final head `432a52bea8`, all
initial CI groups passed except the unchanged status-card deadline test,
whose post-wakeup clock assertion missed its bound by 10 ms. That exact
case passed three unchanged local repetitions (16.8/27.0/18.3 seconds);
the single isolated shard rerun passed all **2,218 tests** (123 files),
with no source changes. [Initial timing
failure](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42114473652/job/127550722187).
- Greptile reviewed `6684df5e82` at **5/5**, with no actionable
findings. A second reviewer identified the supported projectless
placeholder case. A new real PostgreSQL regression reproduced its
workspace-binding failure before the one-line fallback correction; all
**45 focused cases** now pass, including default environment selection
and changed binding/cwd refusal. Greptile reviewed final head
`432a52bea8` at **5/5**, with no blocking findings. The second
reviewer’s thread is resolved.
- The patched Linux build verified the actual retained worker/provider
ownership and process absence in a transaction that was rolled back. No
retained state was retired or provider started during that
pre-deployment check.

## Risks

- This changes an execution admission proof. Incorrect ownership could
permit a second executor. The proof retains process, controller, lease,
scope, journal, and receipt fences, and duplicate admission is tested
through the real queue.
- Missing or conflicting evidence remains deferred. Windows, remote
execution, automatic replacement, and session reuse retain their
existing policies.
- No database migration or UI change. The original affected task still
needs deployment of the fix before recovery can be claimed.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, SSH diagnostics, and live provider testing. This session does
not expose the exact backend model build or context-window size. The
live test agent uses OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` at high effort.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 2506bcdaf4 Admit exact stopped Runner sources under the current run lease (#19134)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native execution keeps provider state and a durable controller
journal.
> - A completed process can stop before the next run attaches.
> - The current run must own recovery of that exact source.
> - An old controller must lose permission to change the consumed source
journal.
> - This pull request adds explicit source admission and protected task
dispatch.
> - The benefit is a narrow recovery boundary that preserves the
original successful result.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Native prerequisites #19132 and #19153 are merged into master. This PR
targets master and updates the TypeScript Runner driver contract
alongside Core and SDK admission. This change adds the SDK and Core
admission boundary. Executor selection and fresh source preparation are
a separate change. Related #17916 supplies the workspace export holds
preserved here.

## What Changed

- Plugins advertise `codexSourceRecoveryVersion: 1` for Codex App Server
and `acpxSourceRecoveryVersion: 1` for ACPX. Hosts can qualify either,
both, or neither. Core selects the matching field, because a
stopped-source check for one provider cannot establish the other
provider’s recovery guarantees. ACPX orchestration is tracked separately
in #19196. Use the existing exact source identity and `resumeFrom` under
the authenticated current run. No public recovery mode is added. Require
the claimed source, current account and prepared launch at protected
dispatch.
- Keep the first source binding pinned on the consumer lease, including
after uncertain dispatch. A newly acquired coordinator can refresh only
the same source.
- Claim one stopped successful source under the current run's acquired
native lease. Store the token-free consumer reference in existing lease
metadata. Preserve the source status and result.
- Check the exact six source identity fields, encrypted journal header,
company, task, agent, environment, driver, workspace, account selection,
and current coordinator generation. Keep workspace export and legacy
settlement holds.
- Serialize claims and checkpoint writers in the same coordinator lock
order. Reject stale source writes after consumption. Check the current
consumer before recovered source writes.
- Check source admission before and after protected worker dispatch.
Keep the request and lease owned by the current run while the native
identity remains the source.
- Allow the same owner to prepare B after a fresh source submission,
using the exact consumed-source proof instead of a generic warm-reuse
flag. Recheck that proof after dispatch.
- Preserve ordinary cached adoption and repeated preparation after
launch. The current authenticated owner can differ from the adopted PRP
identity without requesting a new source launch. Keep ordinary suspended
recovery and live task attachment checks. Extract the shared source
resolver to avoid a module cycle, and make ordinary selection honor the
same durable source consumer.

## Verification

- Current head `cac9cf188a` includes merged #19300 and the symmetric
capabilities introduced in `b7e25a64b4`. The task-owner and warm-rebind
fixtures now identify their physical task. All 29 SDK schema cases, 95
Core ownership and source-admission cases, 25 native Codex and ACPX
recovery cases, and the binary metadata check passed on this head. The
SDK and Runner builds and server typecheck passed. Both native providers
reject the other provider’s capability. GitHub CI is green and [standard
Greptile scored this commit
5/5](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/19134#issuecomment-6645574114)
with no open threads.

- Previous head `bda49271a4ae362a15baf3fe6d6d297e25fd2000` is directly
based on master after #19132 and #19153 landed. [GitHub workflow
42072192023](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42072192023)
passed on its first attempt. All check runs completed successfully or as
intentional workflow skips; Snyk passed. Standard Greptile scored this
exact head 5/5. That review had no unresolved findings.
- Runner and SDK TypeScript builds and server typecheck passed. The
focused SDK, task-owner, task-runtime, PostgreSQL source and authority
suites passed all 161 cases. The production transport-factory getter
regression and 14 native-lane selection checks also passed.
- The Linux native lane executed the new ordinary warm A→B process case.
It kept one Runner/provider process and completed two turns on the same
thread. The eager-getter mutation fails with
`native_runner_source_attachment_pending`; preserving the live getter
passes. The production factory test changes the current owner after
transport creation and checks that same options object.
- PostgreSQL cases cover both concurrent source-writer/claim orders,
exact source submission under the current caller, source-switch denial
after uncertain dispatch, same-source coordinator refresh, stale
same-boot generation, corrupted journal headers, competing consumers,
account changes and export holds.
- The protected dispatch sequence submits A, prepares B and retries B
preparation. It rejects undispatched sources, changed accounts and
foreign target bindings. Source status and accepted result remain
unchanged.
- Ordinary adopted A preparation under current B, repeated ordinary
preparation after launch and ordinary suspended continuation retain
their existing path. Absent or false claims preserve ordinary identity
denial; malformed claims fail closed.
- Earlier development attempts exposed ordinary preparation regressions
and the live-getter omission; the final regressions cover those fixes.
The first embedded PostgreSQL attempt needed missing library aliases
repaired in ignored dependencies. Those attempts are not passing
evidence.
- Historical, superseded CI heads had unchanged UI fake-timer and
Playwright health-response-lifetime failures. Their isolated cases and
scoped retries passed. The response-lifetime cause remains unproven. No
UI/test timeout was changed. The final rebased-head workflow above
passed without a retry.
- Whitespace and added-line secret/PII scans passed. Full workspace
checks ran on GitHub. No live vendor probe or deployment was performed.

## Risks

- Any driver that used the earlier Codex TypeScript option must use
`codexSourceRecoveryVersion`. The new plugin description rejects the
generic spelling. The Launcher’s existing Codex-specific HTTP header can
map to this property when the plugin adopts the new SDK. The change
requires no journal migration or ROM change.

- This is an inactive admission foundation. Executor orchestration is
separate in #19157. Native restore integrity and provider
stopped-source/account validation must be present before executor
activation. The native prerequisite uses ordinary recovery followed by
attachment. The composed executor proofs are in #19157.
- The source claim is durable. A later controller must recover the same
consumer or keep the hold. It cannot select another source after an
ambiguous launch.
- Admission adds bounded database checks around protected startup calls.
Busy issue locks fail closed; other lock waits have a one-second bound.
- No migration, snapshot format, proactive receipt, recurring worker, or
deployment is included. Full workspace checks and platform coverage run
in CI. These tests do not prove vendor history durability or a hosted
rollout.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol (`gpt-6.1-sol`), high reasoning, through Codex with
repository tools and code execution. The runtime does not expose a
context-window size.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 31bf6e4482 Pin plugin Runner cleanup to its physical task (#19300)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Plugin Runner owners manage a physical task through an environment
lease.
> - The existing replacement path can assign a new physical task to that
same lease.
> - A delayed old owner can then stop the replacement or mark it
stopped.
> - Cleanup must keep the original physical task identity across RPC and
database writes.
> - This pull request pins that identity and keeps cleanup available to
the new owner.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19134 and #19157. This fix is based on master and does not enable
repeated stopped-source recovery. A search found no duplicate fix.

**What happened?**

The maintained `createOwnedSandbox` replacement path changes
`providerLeaseId` on one lease. An old task owner uses that mutable
lease for a later Stop. A stopped-state response already in flight can
also update the new task's flags.

**Expected behavior**

The old owner must address its original task. Its late cleanup writes
must not alter the replacement. The replacement's own owner must still
stop and complete it.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a plugin task owner for a stopped task.
2. Replace that task through the existing describe/startup path on the
same lease.
3. Resume an old checkpoint or a held old status response.
4. Observe a Stop for the replacement or an incorrect stopped flag
before this fix.

## What Changed

- Require each task owner to keep the physical ID returned by its
description. Reject a rebind to a different task.
- Carry the ID through the existing internal task context after startup
ends. Reject a changed physical task before RPC dispatch.
- Match the physical task in stopped-state, completion and
credential-handoff writes.
- Hold the exact lease row through the retained-session database update
and local checkpoint save.
- Cover the maintained replacement path with real PostgreSQL tests.
Preserve positive cleanup for the replacement owner. Document this
boundary.

## Verification

- Both replacement regressions failed on unmodified master `10a7d039c8`:
delayed old-owner Stop targeted the replacement, and a held old status
response marked it stopped.
- Six focused files passed 160 tests: task authority, task runtime, warm
tasks, execution target, credential writeback and task owner.
- Four selected executor factory cases passed. They cover task-only
providers and the physical task binding after the startup context ends.
- Runner TypeScript, plugin SDK and adapter-utils builds passed. Server
TypeScript check passed. Diff and added-line secret scans passed.
- All 15 setup-probe cases passed with the actual Runner and fake
provider binaries. The first local attempt lacked cargo on PATH. A
sandboxed native attempt timed out in seven process cases; the unchanged
run with loopback permission passed all 15. A separate initial DB
integration attempt was denied a loopback listener; its
permission-correct run passed.
- Review found three missed constructors in the existing SDK/Core
lifecycle fixture. They now use the actual describe result. All four
cases in that real PostgreSQL and worker RPC file passed.
- The first GitHub attempt failed in the unchanged GitHub recovery
pagination case in `chat-channels.integration.test.ts`: its zero-request
assertion observed a configuration GET. That exact case passed locally
without code or assertion changes. The one failed-job-only retry passed;
the initial failure log is retained.
- [GitHub workflow
42082587576](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42082587576)
passed on its second attempt. All CI checks completed, and Snyk passed.
Standard Greptile scored exact head `fb914d98b99e` 5/5 with no
unresolved threads. The branch is mergeable and ready for review.

## Risks

The task context change is internal. It adds no plugin wire field,
schema or Runner mode. A stale owner now gets an error and cannot clean
up a replacement. A new owner can still clean up that task. The retained
checkpoint write holds one existing lease row during a bounded local
file write.

Repeated stopped-source incarnation admission, runtime pins and
deployments are outside this change.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol (`gpt-6.1-sol`), high reasoning. Used repository
tools, TypeScript and real PostgreSQL tests.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 34d308a331 fix(native): let a run retire the prior owner it reserved when its session rotates (#19263)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A native Runner agent keeps a warm provider session per task. A
follow-up run on the same task can reuse that session and its managed
instruction directory.
> - When a follow-up run cannot resume the saved session (for example,
the effective run configuration changed), it first reserves the prior
owner's instruction directory. Then it starts a new session identity and
must retire the prior owner.
> - Retirement treated the run's own directory reservation as another
executor's busy turn. The run failed at startup with
`native_session_supervisor_busy`.
> - That failure happened after the remote workspace was prepared, so
failure handling retained the sandbox and blocked the task. A board
follow-up comment left the task `blocked` with no agent progress.
> - This pull request lets a run retire the prior owner that it reserved
itself, and keeps the directory that it adopted. Any other reservation
or turn is still busy.
> - The benefit is that a follow-up on a task with a rotated session
runs once, and the task does not become blocked.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A board follow-up comment with reopen woke an agent on a task that had
just finished a successful run. The new run reused the task's own
sandbox. The saved session could not resume because the effective run
configuration changed, so the run started a new session identity. At
startup (right after the native execution claim) the run failed with
`native_session_supervisor_busy`. The run got the error code
`native_continuation_requires_reconciliation`, the sandbox was retained
for workspace repair, and the task became `blocked`.

The agent had another live run on a different task at the same time.
That run used a different sandbox and a different workspace, so it was
not the cause. The busy owner was the task's own prior warm session. The
new run had reserved that session's instruction directory itself
(`reserveWarmNativeInstructionDirectory` sets `preparingRunId` to the
new run). `retireSupersededWarmNativeSessions` then saw `preparingRunId`
and rejected the run.

**Expected behavior**
The follow-up run retires the prior warm owner of its own task, keeps
the instruction directory it adopted, starts the new session, and runs
once. The task does not become blocked.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a native Runner (Codex app-server) task to completion with a warm
session and a managed instruction directory.
2. Change the agent's effective run configuration, so the saved session
cannot resume.
3. Wake the same task again (for example, a board comment with reopen).
4. Before this change, the run fails at startup with
`native_session_supervisor_busy` and the task becomes blocked.

**Paperclip version or commit**
Observed on staging at `7fd05e13`. The code is unchanged on `master`.

## What Changed

- `retireSupersededWarmNativeSessions` now receives the current run id.
When the prior owner of the same task (same logical owner scope) is
reserved by this run (`preparingRunId === runId`), retirement continues
instead of throwing `native_session_supervisor_busy`.
- That retirement closes the prior owner with
`preserveInstructionsForRunId`, so the directory that this run adopted
is not collected. This matches the existing configuration-change branch
in warm reuse.
- After a successful close, the reservation is cleared. A failed close
keeps the reservation, so its `release()` retries retirement as before.
- A reservation by any other run, a busy owner, and an executing scope
still throw `native_session_supervisor_busy`.

## Verification

- Red before the fix, green after
(`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts`,
"managed directory warm checkpoints"):
- "retires its own reserved directory owner when the session identity
rotates": before, the run rejected with
`native_session_supervisor_busy`. After, the prior owner closes once,
the new session runs once, the adopted directory is not collected during
retirement, and it is collected once when the new owner retires.
- "retires its own reserved directory owner after the Runner claim when
the session identity rotates" (the production `useRunnerd` path, where
retirement happens after the claim): before, admission rejected with
`native_session_supervisor_busy`. After, admission retires the prior
owner and keeps the adopted directory.
- Safety case (green before and after): "still rejects a session
identity rotation over another run's directory reservation". The
provider does not start and the other run's owner is not closed.
- Existing safety case (green): "does not retire an active turn when a
new session identity arrives".
- `npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts
src/services/heartbeat/instruction-working-copy`: 1163 passed.
- Staging evidence was read only. This change is not deployed.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change applies only when the prior owner has the same
logical owner scope (company, agent, task, workspace, environment) and
its reservation names the current run. That reservation exists only
after this run validated reuse of the prior directory.
- The claim-path instruction copy (`claimWarmNativeInstructionCopy`,
which sets `busy`) is unchanged. That path is not used by Codex
app-server agents.
- Two related points are unchanged and are out of scope here: a startup
failure after the workspace is prepared still retains the sandbox and
blocks the task, and the "Instruction edits could not be recovered"
warning on that failure is advisory only. With this fix, this flow no
longer reaches that failure.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, with tool use (shell,
file edits, browser read of staging run records) in Claude Code.

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 beb73381ca fix(native): let a Stop before the provider session opens continue once (#19206)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A remote task restores its saved workspace into a sandbox before the
agent starts.
> - When that restore fails, the run records only
`remote_workspace_operation_failed: operation=restore exit=1`.
> - The run then fails as `setup_failed`. No retry starts, and a
`blocked` task gets no recovery action.
> - An operator cannot tell which step failed, and nobody owns the next
step.
> - This pull request makes the sandbox scripts name their failed step
in a closed grammar, and it gives a restore failure a bounded retry or a
named board recovery action.
> - The benefit is a visible cause and a clear owner. Saved work stays
protected.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19152 and #19187. Those changes name copy-back (save) failures.
Refs #18852 and #19195. Those changes added the bounded bootstrap retry
that this change reuses.

**What happened?**

A board reply woke an agent on a `blocked` parent task. The run failed
during setup 13 seconds later. The only run event was
`remote_workspace_operation_failed: operation=restore exit=1`. The run
had no workspace operation row. The task stayed `blocked`, and its
recovery actions showed `active: null`. The same opaque family also
appeared for workspace preparation (`exit=1` only).

**Expected behavior**

The run names which restore step failed, without command output or
paths. A failure before provider work uses a bounded retry when a retry
can help. Otherwise, and when the retry budget is spent, the board gets
a named recovery action. The saved version is never changed or
overwritten.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Save a remote workspace, then start a new run on a different
allocation.
2. Put a folder at the published workspace path in the sandbox before
restore.
3. Observe that the base code records only `operation=restore exit=1`,
then `setup_failed`, with no recovery action for a `blocked` task.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Base: `87dfba6818`.

**Deployment mode**

Legacy runtime with sandbox (Daytona) remote workspace storage.

## What Changed

- The prepare, repository, and restore sandbox scripts track their
current stage. On failure they print `remote_workspace_<op>_failed:
stage=<stage>` plus closed fields: `reason=` (the script's own
snake_case refusal), `archive=` (the archive helper's fixed reason),
`code=` (errno), `disk=full`, `git=` (a fixed label chosen from Git
output), and the existing `exit`/`signal`/`program` fields.
- The server accepts that text only when it matches a strict grammar for
the same operation. Other output is dropped, as before.
- Provider refusals during the restore upload and restore command are
recorded by closed labels, like copy-back.
- A failed saved-workspace restore raises `RemoteWorkspaceRestoreError`
with the server step (`snapshot_lookup`, `snapshot_download`,
`sandbox_restore`). It is retryable only when the owner re-reads the
same writer, epoch, and saved version with no unsaved work, and the
sandbox did not name a refusal reason.
- Setup failure handling classifies a pre-dispatch legacy restore
failure as `remote_workspace_restore_failed`. A retryable failure uses
the existing bounded bootstrap retry. A non-retryable or exhausted
failure records a board-owned recovery action with the redacted cause,
when stranded-work recovery does not scan the task status (for example
`blocked`).
- Stranded-work recovery gets a named notice for this code. Generic
continuation recovery does not grant it a second budget, and legacy
reconciliation does not invent provider actions for it.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md` documents the contract.

## Verification

- Red: the new transport tests failed on the base code with
`remote_workspace_operation_failed: operation=restore exit=1` (and the
same for prepare and repository). The new completion tests failed
because the run became `setup_failed` with no retry and no recovery
action.
- Green: `npx vitest run src/services/remote-workspace-transport.test.ts
src/services/heartbeat/run-completion.test.ts
src/services/remote-workspaces.integration.test.ts
src/__tests__/heartbeat-retry-scheduling.test.ts
src/services/legacy-execution-recovery.test.ts src/services/recovery
src/services/remote-workspace-save-concurrency.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-workspace-finalizer-failure.test.ts
src/__tests__/native-workspace-finalization-work.test.ts` passes (563
tests).
- The transport tests use real sandbox commands. They prove an occupied
folder reports `stage=inspect_root reason=occupied_root` and keeps its
files. They prove a wrong manifest reports `stage=extract
archive=manifest_mismatch`. They prove a missing branch reports
`stage=checkout_branch`, and a changed origin reports
`stage=verify_origin`. Forged output with a path is dropped.
- The real-PostgreSQL cold-restore test proves an occupied root gives a
non-retryable `sandbox_restore` failure and keeps the unknown files.
- The completion tests cover retried, exhausted, refused, post-dispatch,
and `in_progress` cases.
- `tsc --noEmit` for the server reports no errors in the changed files.

## Risks

- A retry keeps the same restore path. If the cause is deterministic but
unnamed, the run uses its two retries before the board action. Named
refusals skip the retries.
- The board action is recorded only for statuses that stranded-work
recovery does not scan, and only when no other action is active. This
prevents a second recovery identity for one failure.
- Script stderr grammar is new. Old sandboxes run the script that the
server sends, so no runner update is necessary.
- No migration, deployment, or credential change.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 f5891564ec fix(recovery): continue from a retired sandbox's backup and hand spent export repairs to the board (#19208)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native tasks keep a warm sandbox and a verified per-turn backup of
the provider session.
> - Recovery holds stop a task when continuation is not safe. They must
have a next action and an owner.
> - In a staging soak, two kinds of held tasks could not move forward.
Users followed the product's own instruction, and nothing changed.
> - First, a reply to a task whose warm sandbox Paperclip had already
destroyed failed every time. The label then said "Send a message to
continue" again.
> - Second, an exhausted system workspace repair stayed active and
system-owned for hours. The board saw no owner, and a reply started
nothing.
> - This pull request lets a reply continue from the backup when the
source sandbox is provably gone, and hands a spent system repair to the
board with a named Retry.
> - The benefit is that productive work always has a next action that
can succeed, and nothing replays or runs twice.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
(a) A native warm task ran one successful turn. A later legacy follow-up
retired the warm sandbox lease. The next user reply got a new sandbox
(`created` lease). The executor found a verified backup but no reusable
lease, so it threw `runner_harness_state_mismatch:
backup_without_reusable_lease`. The run retried on the restart-recovery
path, failed `native_remote_recovery_lease_mismatch`, and ended as
`native_continuation_requires_reconciliation`. Workspace recovery then
said "Saved work recovered. Send a message to continue." Each new reply
repeated the same failure.
(b) A run failed `native_workspace_sync_out_retry_exhausted`. System
workspace recovery used its 6 bounded attempts and became `exhausted`.
The recovery action stayed `active` with `ownerType: system`. The UI
hides system-owned recovery actions, so the board saw no action. Nothing
ran for more than two hours.

**Expected behavior**
(a) When Paperclip destroyed the source sandbox and no provider work
followed the backup, the reply continues once from the backup. Ambiguous
states still fail closed.
(b) When the bounded budget is spent, the action names a board owner and
a Retry action that can progress it.

**Steps to reproduce**
(a) Finish a warm native turn. Retire its reusable lease through
obsolete-lease cleanup. Send a reply. The new run gets a `created` lease
and fails `backup_without_reusable_lease`.
(b) Let system workspace recovery reach its deadline or retry limit.
Read the recovery action. It is still `ownerType: system`.

Related merged work checked first: #19145, #19184, #19187, #19189,
#19190, #18943 (added the guard for migrated sessions). Open recovery
PRs (`gh pr list --search recovery --state open`) do not touch these
paths.

## What Changed

- `native-retired-backup-source.ts` (new):
`retiredSourceAuthorizesNativeBackupRestore` decides whether a created
lease may restore the backup. All must be true: the backup's source
lease is `expired` or `failed`; it has a provider termination receipt
with state `destroyed`; its `nativeHarnessBackup` stamp names this exact
manifest SHA-256, session and runner instance; exactly one host lease
maps to the provider allocation; and no provider durable event for the
session was recorded after the backup completed. The provider event type
set moved here and the executor imports it.
- `native-session-executor.ts`:
`shouldRestoreNativeHarnessBackupIntoSandbox` accepts
`retiredSourceContinuation`. A created lease with a configured reusable
lease evaluates it, beside the existing migrated-session path. The
restore uses the existing verified restore and stamps the new lease.
- `system-recovery.ts`: `updateSystemRecovery` moves an `exhausted`
action to `ownerType: board` and writes a next action and workspace
recovery message that name the attempt count, the last failure code, and
**Retry recovery**. Retry (`requestWorkspaceRecovery`) already starts a
new bounded generation and returns ownership to the system.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: documents both rules.

## Verification

- Red before the fix, green after:
- `npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts -t "restores
a warm backup into a created lease only when"`. Before: the
destroyed-source case rejected with `runner_harness_state_mismatch:
backup_without_reusable_lease`. After: it restores the runner state and
provider home into the new sandbox and stamps the new lease.
- `npx vitest run src/services/workspace-recovery.test.ts -t "hands an
exhausted system export repair"`. Before: `exhausted` with `ownerType:
"system"`. After: `ownerType: "board"`, the blocker says Retry recovery
and never says "send a message", no provider run or lease resume
happens, and Retry starts one new system generation.
- Safety cases (fail closed): a stopped (not destroyed) source, a stamp
for another checkpoint, provider work after the backup, a still-reusable
`released` lease, a missing receipt, and two host leases for one
allocation. These run in the executor test and in
`native-retired-backup-source.integration.test.ts` against embedded
Postgres.
- Related suites pass: `workspace-recovery.test.ts`,
`system-recovery-state.test.ts`, `native-session-executor.test.ts`,
`task-retry.test.ts`, `explicit-native-continuation.test.ts`,
`workspace-recovery-source.test.ts`,
`native-workspace-export-retry.test.ts`,
`native-remote-retry-admission.test.ts`,
`native-workspace-warm-reuse.test.ts`,
`native-workspace-sync-retention.test.ts`,
`heartbeat-observed-workspace-preservation.test.ts`,
`execution-control-work.test.ts` (2,224 tests).
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json` passes.
- Not done: a live run against staging. Staging access was read-only.
The staging evidence is the run event timeline described above.

## Risks

- (a) A backup restore after a lost sandbox could rewind a session if
newer provider state existed. The predicate requires a provider
`destroyed` receipt and no provider event after the checkpoint. A
stopped sandbox, a pending cleanup, or a still-reusable lease still
fails closed with the old error.
- (a) The event-time check can fail closed if a late event from the
backup turn is written after the checkpoint time. That keeps the old
behavior; it never authorizes a restore.
- (b) The action's next action text stays as the exhausted message while
a later Retry generation runs. The task blocker shows the live workspace
recovery message first, so users see "Recovering saved work…" during
that time.
- Not changed: when the predicate fails closed, the run still follows
the existing reconciliation path. That path can still end with the "Send
a message to continue" receipt. That residual is narrower now and needs
a separate change to the workspace recovery receipt.
