DottaandPaperclip 45a3a92e6d fix(environments): persist sandbox ownership before creation (#18357)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages companies and the agents that do their work.
> - Remote execution creates provider resources that need a durable
owner.
> - The server could create a sandbox before it saved its lease.
> - A failed lease write could leave cleanup data only on the old web
server disk.
> - This change saves a company-scoped operation before creation and
transfers ownership atomically.
> - Recovery finds the original Daytona resource or records an explicit
manual reconciliation outcome.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A sandbox could exist without a lease after a database failure or
company rebind. Failed cleanup recording could then create a local
fallback file. Replacing that web server could lose the cleanup
reference.

**Expected behavior**
A failed admission write makes no provider call. An interrupted creation
retains a committed operation. Recovery must not create a second sandbox
or destroy an attached lease.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run the disposable PostgreSQL cases in
`server/src/__tests__/sandbox-creation-operations.test.ts`.
2. Reject the lease insert after the controlled provider creates its
resource.
3. Start a new receiver process with a different empty web disk. It must
find the same resource and create one cleanup owner.

Related ownership report: Refs #14672. This change addresses new
allocations before lease persistence. It does not replace existing lease
recovery.

## What Changed

- Add an idempotent migration and a small creation-operation table.
Retain original company, environment and run identities across deletion.
- Commit creation intent before run, ad-hoc lease, and plugin task
replacement calls. Fence duplicate requests and ambiguous lease commits.
- Retain a known returned task resource ID in the existing operation
before attachment. Preserve manual reconciliation and never delete an
ambiguously attached resource.
- Keep company and run authority checks and atomic lease transfer with
the lease owner.
- Reuse Daytona names, labels, read-only inspection and claimed cleanup.
Keep provider payload handling in the provider.
- Retain nonsecret credential identity hashes. Refuse recovery lookup
under a changed credential value.
- Record manual reconciliation for missing/deleted or explicitly
inactive saved credentials, versions, and provider vaults. Keep
temporary resolution failures retryable. Never reactivate a disabled
credential.
- Use transaction signals and concrete deadlines. Failed records back
off independently. Manual reconciliation stays durable and quiet.
- Remove new orphan-file fallback writes from the covered paths. Keep
legacy file replay and its tests for cutover.
- Replace obsolete fallback-producer assertions with normal-entrypoint
durability tests. Keep cleanup, diagnostics and warm handoff coverage.

## Verification

- [Independent current-head
verification](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18357#issuecomment-6534744320)
passed 190/190 combined tests, 40/40 incoming TestOps tests, full
workspace typecheck, and build. PR head
`958af986130f25e136065ad30d1fdd843c46255c` has tree
`e6c3e5b02182d5941a70ccf5bf55638df3c2e28d`, identical to tested combined
commit `b9d7a9c2e9b30f0153685fb24a5f70b56132201f`. Real PostgreSQL,
compiled Rust Runner and controlled object providers were used;
external-S3 integration remains outside this local proof.
- Current head `958af986130f25e136065ad30d1fdd843c46255c` normally
merges master `8595efc20bda3ce20a9fbbf34a5d156a6fcf6d57`. The sole
conflict was the maintenance test: a parameterized case now preserves
both legacy-local `local_storage` and valid shared-S3
`provider_mismatch` checks, including the parent local receipt, exact
version identity, missing-snapshot/no-seed refusal, and unchanged
persisted row. The three master TestOps files remain intact. No
production, schema, migration, or package changes were made after the
fully qualified prior head `0b4d05505e`. Independent review approved the
resolution; the full managed-skill-content file and Cloud guard controls
pass 58/58 (105.11 seconds). [Required PR CI passed on this exact merge
head, first
attempt](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41136987412):
54 successful checks and three intended skips. The additional Paperclip
review is neutral at 4/5; two external Superagent checks (Contributor
trust and Security Scan) remain in progress with zero annotations and no
assessment, so they are not passing scan evidence. Greptile reviewed
exact head `958af986130f25e136065ad30d1fdd843c46255c` at 5/5; the final
thread audit has zero unresolved threads. All completed evidence below
retains its recorded revision scope. The additional Paperclip Review on
`958af98613` is neutral at 4/5 with a Ship verdict and no must-fix or
should-fix item. Its optional observation is that a generic create
rejection remains pending/manual even when an operator believes
allocation did not occur. This change preserves uncertainty because the
generic create-error contract does not prove provider absence; no new
error classification or provider-specific compensation was added.

- [Independent final-source
verification](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18357#issuecomment-6534328247)
passed all 189 real-PostgreSQL/Runner and controlled-fixture cases, full
workspace typecheck, and build. The integration commit
`c8411a8528386f4824b340ec5fdaaed1efb9ea69` has the same source tree as
final PR head `0b4d05505e` (tree
`bda65efc14b4c904d0f589154db77bb160641c8c`). Controlled object-provider
coverage passed; the separately guarded external-S3 suite was not run
because the bounded local MinIO pull was unavailable. This includes the
two final compatibility fixes.
- The first final-head CI attempt exposed one E2E timing failure in
`disconnect-write-recovery.spec.ts:181`: the title stayed unchanged
through the 15-second session-recovery poll. The same original case
passed in 13.8 seconds on immediately prior head `7ec06f77b7`, and all
UI/session/E2E source is identical across those heads. The failure log
and CI artifacts are retained; no cause is claimed. One failed-job-only
retry is authorized on this evidence, without changing a timeout,
assertion, or production behavior. [The single failed-job retry
completed
successfully](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41133619710/attempts/2):
all 35 E2E shard cases passed (6.6 minutes), including the original
session-recovery case in 14.0 seconds. The initial failure remains
disclosed and its cause remains unproven.
- Final head `0b4d05505ee0aa72f2981cdff74761406960ec73` adds two
independently reviewed integration fixes after the complete 7ec CI
matrix exposed two deterministic failures. Server 9/12 failed legacy
local-storage maintenance because the CLI reached the new Cloud server
startup guard; server 5/12 found the Daytona package version did not
match its bumped manifest. The failed run is retained at
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41131204203. It is
not passing evidence and was not blindly retried.
- Maintenance now constructs the existing explicit storage dependency
after loading the required persisted Cloud snapshot, and passes it to
both maintenance owners. It can verify legacy local storage before
provider cutover while normal Cloud server startup remains guarded. The
original case reproduced red locally, then the complete
managed-skill-content and managed-cloud-prerequisites files passed 57/57
(32.05 seconds), including missing-snapshot refusal, unchanged stored
configuration, and existing server guard controls. Daytona package
version now matches manifest 0.1.10; the complete bundled package
identity file passed 14/14 (3.98 seconds), and explicit
manifest/lifecycle controls passed 2/2 (328 intentionally filtered; 3.42
seconds). An initial workspace-filter command matched no project and is
not counted as pass evidence. The final diff changes no sandbox runtime
or schema behavior. [Full CI is green on this exact final
head](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41133619710/attempts/2):
56 successful checks, three intended skips, one additional
incomplete/neutral Paperclip Review, and no pending or failed checks.
The neutral review is not a passing assessment. [Greptile reviewed the
exact final head at
5/5](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18357#issuecomment-6529396969),
with no new actionable issues and all review threads resolved.
- Final combined head `7ec06f77b7c14a745c569d18401f16df3d26b626`
includes master managed-skills migration 0417 and shared-storage
prerequisites from `198218bf55` through normal merges. Sandbox creation
moves to generated `0418_curved_lady_mastermind.sql`; its idempotent SQL
is byte-for-byte unchanged. The regenerated 0418 snapshot contains both
sandbox creation operations and the master skill mutation receipts, and
points to the master 0417 snapshot. Master SQL and journal history
remain intact. Exactly five snapshots remain, 0414 through 0418. The
only sandbox-specific changes since the approved credential policy are
migration metadata/number and the matching test/document references; the
sandbox runtime files are unchanged.
- [Independent final combined
verification](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18357#issuecomment-6533960026)
passed on integration revision `e6f05b4cf0cd`, containing final sandbox
head `7ec06f77b7` and actual master `198218bf55`: migration/declaration
checks, all 158 real-PostgreSQL/Runner and controlled-fixture cases (251
seconds), full workspace typecheck (81 seconds), and build (35 seconds).
- Final combined migration proof: fresh real PostgreSQL has both tables.
A separate original-0417 sandbox table with a retained pending row
survives two applications of the renamed 0418 SQL unchanged, with the
expected primary/index and foreign-key structure. Migration
numbering/safety checks pass. The normal runtime migration reapply case
passes 1/1 (20 intentionally filtered cases; 46.69 seconds). The first
temporary qualification harness stopped before any database assertion
because its external `.ts` file selected CommonJS; the `.mts` harness
corrected that setup and passed. Independent review approved the exact
metadata and reference diff. Earlier full suite and live-provider
results below retain their stated revision scope.

- Credential-policy head `c606d473b03709f27577a55a1dfc0b0d3b4359fd`
handles the remaining inactive-credential review warning. The existing
boundary accepts only concrete secret-owner 422 codes and exact
no-details disabled/coming-soon vault messages. Unknown 422,
authorization errors, provider wrappers, and temporary database/provider
failures still propagate. Independent source review approved this
three-file correction. No generic resolver, schema, provider protocol,
retry cap, or activation behavior changed.
- Creation/cleanup qualification at `c606d473b0`: all 39 cases pass
against real PostgreSQL (81.27 seconds). The new cases use actual
disabled/archived saved secrets, a valid disabled version, and provider
vaults created ready before normal API updates disable them or mark them
coming soon. Each remains manual through restart/repeated scans, with
zero provider lookup and no retry deadline. The independent plugin idle
blocker remains intact. The temporary 503 control retains retry
ownership and later recovers one cleanup owner. Before this correction,
all five inactive-state cases remained pending; that failed evidence is
retained. The prior 18-case known-ID task proof below belongs to
`237144fcf6`, whose helper and task path are unchanged by this
correction.

- Known-ID head `237144fcf69a249c0e0310563428c0f55ed6d55c` also
addresses the independent task-replacement reliability warning. The
existing creation operation now saves only the known nonsecret returned
resource ID before expiry validation and attachment. The write is scoped
to operation/company/original environment and allows only a missing or
matching ID. It changes no ownership state and copies no resolved
configuration, credentials, or provider payload. Independent source
review approved this four-file fix.
- The complete real-PostgreSQL task suite passes 18/18 (9.52 seconds).
Rejected attachments retain the ID through manual reconciliation and
repeated scans. A real committed attachment followed by an injected lost
response retains the same active lease and attached operation, with no
release or second create. Same-ID retries work; conflicting IDs and
foreign companies cannot change it. The initial three regression cases
failed because the ID was absent, before the fix.
- The shipped Daytona manifest does not declare task support, so it
cannot enter this generic replacement path. The dispatcher requires both
declared task support and an environmentTask worker method. Generic
drivers without creation lookup still use manual reconciliation, with a
known returned ID retained when the database write can commit. No
automatic lookup capability or unconditional compensation was added.

- Previous boundary-fix head `8ba77def151ea85eeae2db7693254db7f87673b0`
fixes the fresh review finding about missing credentials. Only known
secret-owner 404 results at the recovery secret-resolution boundary
select the existing manual outcome. Provider inspection and transient
database/provider errors remain retryable. Independent source review
approved this change.
- Secret-boundary focused acceptance at `8ba77def15`: all 34 cases pass
against isolated real PostgreSQL. The complete creation suite passes
16/16 (100.75 seconds); the complete cleanup coordinator suite passes
18/18 (99.83 seconds). The new cases use normal saved-secret creation
and deletion, confirm zero provider lookup, restart/repeated scans, no
automatic deadline, preserved independent plugin idle blocking, and no
additional idle blocker after the controlled worker supplies its quiet
proof. A temporary 503 resolution failure preserves pending ownership
and later recovers one cleanup owner. No additional live provider
resource was created.
- Failed attempts remain part of the evidence. The initial red run
reproduced the pending-operation bug and also exposed a numeric-deadline
test harness mistake, which was corrected. A later combined run reported
an existing replacement-receiver failure and a new idle-fixture
assertion failure; it was interrupted while the next test file remained
in imports. An isolated diagnostic confirmed that the manual state was
correct but the installed fixture plugin correctly blocked sleep without
its independent quiet proof. The corrected test retains that blocker
assertion before supplying the controlled worker witness. The unchanged
replacement-receiver case passes in the final complete 16-case run; its
earlier failure is not counted as a pass or assigned a proven cause. No
timeout or production idle guard was relaxed.
- Greptile reviewed previous combined head
`7ec06f77b7c14a745c569d18401f16df3d26b626` at 5/5, with no unresolved
review threads. Its CI produced the two concrete integration failures
addressed above. The earlier CI and live evidence below remain
historical evidence, not a claim that the current full gates have
completed.

- Master integration update: merged `dbff3747b8` and then latest master
`76fde891cc` without rewriting branch history. Only `doc/DATABASE.md`
conflicted; the sandbox ownership, object-backed run evidence, and cloud
configuration sections all remain. The master merges changed no sandbox
implementation, migration, or provider code. Migration numbering/safety
checks pass and exactly five schema snapshots remain. At merge head
`f5d23d4a59828835d01c150f83fa2645fb2d3bec`, the two focused
creation/coordinator suites pass all 32 cases against isolated real
PostgreSQL (64.57 seconds). Those merge-head checks precede the
missing-credential fix below. The earlier live Daytona proof still
covers the unchanged normal creation/lookup/teardown path; the new
missing-credential branch is qualified with real PostgreSQL and
controlled provider hooks.

The optional Superagent Security Scan was inconclusive on prior head
`7ec06f77b7`: its pinned PR merge-base checkout failed or timed out,
with a neutral conclusion and zero annotations. An earlier scan could
not start within 120 seconds; a bounded rerun request returned HTTP 404.
These scanner failures are not passing security-scan evidence. On final
head `0b4d05505e`, the additional Paperclip Review check is neutral: its
assigned review execution did not complete and produced no validated
assessment. Fresh Greptile 5/5 and independent source review are
separate evidence. Previous-head required CI, independent review, and
the live Daytona qualification below passed.

- [Complete previous-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41105726052)
passed at `0b5cbb763ab8faa25aa0ff1d8a405cdc0d3db409`: 53 successful
checks and three intended skips, including typecheck, full tests, build
and E2E. Greptile is 5/5 on this head and both original findings are
resolved.

- Initial head: 200 PostgreSQL runtime, creation and coordinator tests
passed. The corrected head also passes all 32 creation and coordinator
tests, including deletion before/during lookup, a failed lookup after
deletion, restart, settled polling and actual idle-safety checks. Cases
cover failed admission, failed lease writes, concurrent recovery, lost
provider replies, ambiguous transfer retries, company rebind,
environment deletion, stopped runs, lookup backoff, restart, drain and
settled SQL quiet.
- Separate receiver processes: passed. A controlled HTTP provider
retains the resource while three independent receiver processes use two
empty web disks. Recovery creates one cleanup owner and never repeats
creation.
- Fresh PostgreSQL migration and two additional applications: passed.
The pending creation row survives unchanged.
- Server TypeScript and SDK/shared build checks pass after the
corrections. Migration numbering/safety checks passed. Exactly five
schema snapshots remain.
- Daytona adapter: all 330 tests passed, including stable-name lookup,
ownership checks, deletion and the updated manifest version. An earlier
run exposed the version expectation and it was corrected. Previous-head
CI passed.
- Live Daytona acceptance passed on `0b5cbb763a`: isolated real
PostgreSQL, normal runtime acquisition through independent receiver
processes, actual Daytona plugin/SDK 0.203.0, one disposable Ubuntu
24.04 sandbox (1 CPU / 1 GiB RAM / 1 GiB disk). A forced lease insert
failure retained the committed operation; a fresh receiver with empty
disk found the same sandbox, repeated recovery retained one cleanup
owner, and the actual claimed cleanup sweep expired the lease and
resolved the operation. Independent SDK lookup returned typed not-found;
ordinary recorded-ID inspection returned destroyed. This successful
attempt made one create, one recovery lookup, and one teardown. Two
earlier failed harness/provider-confirmation attempts are disclosed in
the [live acceptance
record](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18357#issuecomment-6530313054).
The coordinator independently queried all three exact resource IDs
through the SDK and confirmed typed not-found for each.
- Complete CI-affected heartbeat/plugin warm-task suites passed 21/21
after test corrections. An unchanged workspace exposure case passed in
isolation after the prior CI shard reported an unhandled readiness
rejection. Complete previous-head CI and refreshed review passed.

## Risks

- Deleted companies retain an explicit manual reconciliation outcome.
Recovery does not retry missing credentials or insert a lease for a
deleted company.
- Only Daytona declares automatic creation lookup. Other uncertain
providers retain `needs_reconciliation`. A missing creation name alone
cannot prove that a late allocation will never appear.
- Pending operations use the existing process-local signal and startup
recovery model. This does not add cross-replica wake delivery or prove
deployed sleep.
- Legacy direct provider probes and custom-image setup use separate
lifecycles. They are outside this replacement of the run-lease
orphan-file fallback. The normal Test path that acquires a runtime lease
is covered.
- Existing orphan files still require the separate cutover inventory and
settlement. This change does not delete them.
- The schema change is additive. The new SQL can be reapplied.
Historical SQL and journal entries are preserved; only the oldest
generated snapshot is pruned.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol`, with tool use, code execution and repository
review. The harness did not report the context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 5982246771 fix(server): schedule custom-image setup expiry from committed changes (#17443)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agent work and its execution environments.
> - Interactive image setup sessions must expire even when users leave.
> - The server currently scans these sessions on every maintenance tick.
> - Empty scans keep the instance and database active.
> - Existing session rows already record status and expiry.
> - This pull request uses transaction signals and the shared scheduler
for those rows.
> - Empty and completed setup history no longer create recurring cleanup
queries.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The server checks custom-image setup expiry every heartbeat maintenance
tick, even when no active session exists.

**What did you expect?**

Session writes should update the next cleanup deadline. Existing
provider cancellation and cleanup ownership must remain intact. Empty
state should stay quiet.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run an instance with heartbeat scheduling enabled and no custom-image
setup sessions. Observe repeated setup-expiry reads.

Refs #17145. This is the first PR in the recurring server sleep stack.
Its base is master. The full requested scope and verification contract
are recorded in `doc/plans/2026-10-24-recurring-server-sleep-stack.md`.
Follow-up PRs target their predecessor and each own a separate reason
for recurring work.

## What Changed

- Carry the historical cleanup retry-observation fixture repair and its
existing external test-database hook at the stack foundation. Runtime
scheduling is unchanged.

- Carry the previously verified login-cleanup fixture settlement
correction at the stack foundation so every intermediate CI run receives
it. This is test-only maintenance; custom-image expiry behavior is
unchanged.

- Add a custom-image expiry worker to the existing delivery coordinator.
Remove its maintenance-tick scan.
- Signal initial creation, provider refresh, cancellation/failure, and
promotion inside their owning transaction.
- Keep the active-status predicate, earliest saved expiry, and provider
behavior in the custom-image service. Shared code gains only a queue
topic.
- Preserve startup recovery, bounded retries, concurrent write
generations, and drain deferral. No tables or external alarm changes.
- Add PostgreSQL lifecycle tests and repair this suite's database
cleanup callback. A dedicated external test URL permits disposable
PostgreSQL when the host cannot start another embedded cluster.

## Verification

Current head: `3507c6be1e054fdd93353d5dcf77d4899b44518f`. This remains a
single-duty PR stacked on master.

- Integrated pinned master `8548173fc9efdc0fa07644fb92dcc0b6851a95e5`
with normal merges. Every branch passed generated-schema checks and its
target-branch migration-order gate. Existing SQL is unchanged; the 25
stack migrations follow master’s new migration.
- Duty-specific producer coverage, lifecycle tests, and earlier failure
records:
[2026-10-08-instance-sleep-and-scheduler-inventory.md](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/3507c6be1e054fdd93353d5dcf77d4899b44518f/doc/plans/2026-10-08-instance-sleep-and-scheduler-inventory.md),
[2026-10-24-recurring-server-sleep-stack.md](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/3507c6be1e054fdd93353d5dcf77d4899b44518f/doc/plans/2026-10-24-recurring-server-sleep-stack.md).
- Combined tip `51e6cbe67979b55b340ea9f0f434c5b5c682ccd6`: **355
startup/cancellation/recovery/dispatch/preservation tests**, **75
connection-management tests**, and production server typechecking pass.
These combined checks do not mean every intermediate PR independently
ran the full repository suite.
- Real master-to-stack database upgrade passes: **379 unchanged prior
migration receipts plus 25 new migrations**, with the gateway
responsibility fixture preserved.
- Owning-branch checks: 84 runner installation/settlement cases plus
runner typechecking and generated TypeScript/Rust profile agreement; 253
GitHub review workflow cases. Stop-attribution and held-worker readiness
regressions failed before their fixes.
- Failure accounting: the initial combined run passed 349 cases and
failed six idle assertions in a reused preservation database containing
old cancelled runs. Repeating the combined command with a fresh
preservation database passed. Earlier invalid project selection, merge
import/type errors, and the interrupted full local suite are not counted
as passing checks.
- **Latest-head CI and review remain required.** Prior CI findings
include GitHub idle observation, route teardown, attention cleanup,
touch-picker E2E, workspace health, and voice-cleanup timing; local
passes do not erase those failures. No full local repository-suite,
deployed sleep, fleet cost, or live Copilot qualification claim is made.

## Risks

- Signals cover supported service producers sharing the DB owner.
Independent SQL and another process require the existing
restart/reconciliation contract.
- Failed provider cancellation retains the existing failed-session and
historical-cleanup behavior. This PR changes scheduling, not teardown
authority.
- Active rows without an expiry preserve the existing behavior; no
deadline is invented. Cloud sleep eligibility remains conservative.
- The worker remains in the existing heartbeat-enabled startup path. It
does not change disabled-scheduler behavior or prove deployed
suspension.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning and code execution. The exact
serving model identifier and context window were not exposed.

Review follow-up: Added a real producer commit during a paused deadline
read. Updated startup assertions for coordinator ownership and removed
added code comments. The three affected suites pass (102 tests). The
separate login-cleanup suite also passes locally (16 tests); its prior
CI consume test timed out, and the fresh complete CI run passed.
External PostgreSQL tests now use the repository guard for disposable
databases ending in `_test`.

DottaandPaperclip 71c04c0bfb fix: stop idle environment cleanup polling (#17145)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent environments can leave pending teardown or unverified provider
resources.
> - Recovery must preserve those resources until ownership and workspace
safety allow cleanup.
> - Empty maintenance scans keep an idle instance and its database
active.
> - The existing rows, transaction signals, and scheduler can represent
the actual recovery obligation.
> - This pull request schedules pending cleanup and historical
verification only while work remains.
> - An empty or fully verified instance stops these scans without losing
cleanup recovery.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The server scanned pending environment cleanup on its maintenance tick.
The run reaper also scanned it even when it recovered no runs or active
leases. Historical resource verification scanned every five minutes,
including when all history already had valid cleanup proof.

**What did you expect?**

Writes should wake cleanup. Pending rows, deferred orphan buffers, and
unverified history should retain recovery deadlines. When none remain,
these workers should make no periodic database or provider calls.

**Steps to reproduce**

Start a configured instance with no pending leases and fully verified
history. Leave it idle. Observe repeated pending-cleanup and
historical-verification reads from the maintenance paths.

Related: #17106 supplies the preceding login-cleanup migration. #13523
improves lease-reaper query indexes. #16809 addresses reusable-sandbox
recovery authority. This PR keeps those authority checks in their
existing services.

## What Changed

- Register two workers with the existing delivery coordinator and shared
scheduler. Remove their unconditional maintenance-tick calls. Run the
reaper's inline pending cleanup only after it recovers actual work.
- Add commit-aware signals to the audited lease and custom-image
writers. Existing transactions notify directly; other writers use one
small transaction helper. No tables or migrations are added.
- Derive pending cleanup deadlines from the existing row backoff and
retry or claim metadata. Retain a historical retry only while an
unverified candidate exists.
- Register unwritten orphan buffers across runtimes that share the
database handle. Buffer registration wakes recovery without a database
connection. Load the existing spool at startup and retry failed or
capacity-limited loads while needed.
- Isolate spool failures per runtime. Attempt all buffers and persisted
pending rows, then retain a retry for any failed spool.
- Document producer coverage, idle behavior, and remaining blockers.
Update the sleep inventory.
- Repair the inherited CSS-recovery E2E test: the current build no
longer emits task-page CSS. Exercise the actual lazy environment
stylesheet, preserving real network failure, recovery, and bounded
reload assertions.

## Verification

October 24 integration update: merged current master and resolved the
runtime/spool conflicts. Preserve serialized ingestion of records
appended after startup. Plugin replacement failures now register
deferred recovery with an idle hold; concurrent callers share one
persistence attempt. The producer audit includes this new writer.

- Focused cleanup selection: 270 tests now pass across five suites. The
initial run lacked a built plugin SDK and executed no tests; building
the SDK fixed setup. The new concurrent-flush assertion then reproduced
duplicate rows; a single-flight guard fixed it and all 18 plugin
integration tests passed on rerun.
- Server typecheck passed. After review fixes, all 211 tests across the
cleanup worker, real orphan spool, environment runtime, and plugin
integration suites passed. These overlap the earlier focused selection.
The rate-limit test initially expected a write after twenty idle minutes
to wait; corrected it to assert that subsequent writes cannot accelerate
the five-minute cadence.
- Review fixes preserve retries for unreadable spool
directories/records, keep historical provider checks off the startup
wait while joining them at shutdown, and restore their independent
five-minute minimum spacing. The complete [CI
matrix](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40108905033)
passed on final commit `79ae1589c3c7b924db4bedb337d0c7ed3d95020b`,
including all E2E shards, server/workspace tests, runner checks,
typecheck, build/public-install verification, and security checks.

- CI found a stale E2E asset matcher: `issue-detail-*.css` is no longer
emitted. Both corrected browser tests passed against a fresh production
UI build and disposable local instance. Fresh Greptile review is 5/5 on
that same final commit, with all review threads resolved.

Previous implementation verification:

- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed.
- New PostgreSQL worker suite: 12 tests passed. Covers quiet configured
state, verified history, writes, outer commit and rollback, retry
deadlines, restart, drain, deferred orphan buffers, spool failure,
pagination, provider uncertainty, shutdown, and the idle run-reaper
path.
- Worker and environment runtime suites after review fix: 183 tests
passed. A new assertion reproduced buffer starvation before the fix.
Updated transaction fault injection and isolated simulated-instance
database handles. Server typecheck also passed after the fix.
- Run-recovery suites: 58 tests passed. Pending-cleanup suite: 38 tests
passed after updating the logging fixture to seed real orphan recovery;
an idle reaper no longer invokes cleanup.
- Stop and workspace-recovery integration selection: 268 tests passed;
two live-provider tests skipped by their environment gate. This overlaps
the worker suite and is not an additional unique-test count.
- Started the full local `pnpm test:run`, then stopped that older
duplicate run after CI found the fixture mismatch. The corrected 38-test
suite passed locally. The full sharded [CI
matrix](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39678174479)
passed on final commit `fc0ff3c4554ca4190a8b0b81ec06ef7065b8ad2c`,
including build, typecheck, runner, server, workspace, and E2E checks.
This is not a claim that the local full run completed.

## Risks

- Missing a future producer signal could delay discovery until restart.
The producer audit is documented in `doc/idle-environment-cleanup.md`.
Independent SQL writers and another server process are outside the
existing process-local notification contract.
- Historical candidates blocked by ownership or provider uncertainty
keep a five-minute retry until they can be verified. Provider
destruction, claim fencing, Stop retention, and workspace safety remain
controlled by their existing services.
- This does not remove orphan-active discovery or legacy shutdown
settlement from run recovery. Active custom-image expiry is also still
periodic. External wake coverage does not change.
- Local tests prove these workers become quiet and recover. They do not
establish deployed instance suspension or fleet cost savings.
