DottaandPaperclip 4740d251b7 fix(onboarding): retain plan approval across follow-up decisions (#19043)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Onboarding asks a person to approve a saved plan before execution
tasks can start.
> - A person can then approve a separate proposal for the first
execution step.
> - The creation gate checks only that latest card for the plan target.
It loses the earlier approval of the unchanged plan.
> - Decomposition and native context also omit checkbox plan
confirmations.
> - This pull request validates the latest execution decision and the
latest plan decision together.
> - The benefit is that approved work can start while human, revision,
and proposal gates remain effective.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17914, #18160, and #18283. The related-PR search found no
duplicate repair.

**What happened?**

After a person accepted a checkbox plan card and a later execution
confirmation, native task creation and REST child creation returned 403.
Accepted-plan decomposition returned 422 because its lookup recognized
only standard confirmations. Native task context returned no accepted
plan for the checkbox decision.

**Expected behavior**

The latest execution proposal can use an independently approved,
unchanged plan. A pending or rejected latest proposal must still stop
execution. The current plan must retain valid human approval of its
exact revision.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Save a plan on a server-created onboarding task.
2. Create a revision-bound checkbox confirmation and accept it as a
human.
3. Create and accept a separate, untargeted confirmation for the first
execution task.
4. Create the child through the native tool or REST API.
5. Separately, try accepted-plan decomposition or read native task
context after step 2.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The workspace's registered hosted release is Core
`09c05c55050fede448196637cbaa543a154da76e`. The three regressions also
failed against local source `3cdb367369f29692b81cf19b514a2abdba90734f`.

**Deployment mode**

Hosted native Runner with ACPX Claude. Local regression proof uses
actual PostgreSQL, authenticated HTTP routes, native tool authority, and
synthetic task data on macOS arm64. No customer data or credentials are
in the fixtures.

## What Changed

- Validate the newest ordinary proposal and the newest plan proposal
separately. Keep the existing human-card and conversational provenance
checks for each.
- Require the accepted plan target to match the current document and
revision. A newer pending, rejected, invalid, or foreign plan decision
cannot fall back to an older approval.
- Share persisted confirmation parsing across admission, decomposition,
and native context. Validate checkbox selections against the saved
options and limits.
- Return `acceptedPlan.approvedOptions` with the user's saved selected
IDs and option text on later wakes, including revision-pinned context.
Keep unchecked defaults out of scope.
- Add behavioral and safety regressions. Document the approval rule.

## Verification

- Three behavioral regressions failed before the repair: child creation
returned 403, decomposition returned 422, and native context returned
`acceptedPlan: null`. All three now pass.
- Two scope-retention regressions failed before the review fix: native
context omitted the selected option after a later approval, with and
without a pinned plan revision. Both now pass. Unchecked defaults stay
excluded.
- Current admission, native-tool, and accepted-confirmation replay
suites: 131 tests passed. Existing first-task completion safety checks:
17 passed, including the atomic decision recheck.
- Safety cases cover missing and rejected plan approval, agent-only
decisions, foreign source runs, changed revisions, invalid checkbox
selections, newer pending or rejected proposals, and task-creation
replay.
- Full repository `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed locally on
final head `7c0e8ab784`.
- [Full final-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41911580531)
passed: all Vitest shards, Runner checks, eight browser E2E shards,
build, release registry, and canary dry run. The required `verify` and
`e2e` aggregates passed. Storybook checks were skipped for this backend
change; the file-selection job was skipped because full CI ran.
- Earlier local typecheck attempts exposed Copilot verification during
build preparation, stale declarations across the rebase, and two
test-fixture typing errors. The assets were verified, declarations
rebuilt, and fixtures corrected before the complete final-head pass.
- Full local Vitest attempts were interrupted for the rebase and review
repair. The duplicate final local run was stopped after full Linux CI
passed. No complete macOS Vitest-suite pass is claimed.
- A fresh Claude-provider acceptance run remains unverified: the local
Claude account is signed out and no Anthropic API credential is
available. The actual native tool and HTTP paths are verified with real
PostgreSQL persistence. This PR does not deploy or recover the reported
production task.
- Greptile: 5/5 on `7c0e8ab784`, with the review thread resolved.

## Risks

A later acceptance must not revive rejected or changed scope. Admission
validates both current decisions and retains source, company, human
provenance, and document locks. The extra plan-proposal lookup is
bounded and limited to accepted, untargeted first-task proposals.
Ordinary delegation adds no new proof lookup. The native context adds an
optional `approvedOptions` projection. Revision-pinned context now
performs the existing scoped approval read to recover that selection. No
database schema, request, provider, or background worker changes are
included.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, exact model `gpt-6.1-sol`, max reasoning effort, with
repository, shell, browser, and GitHub tools. The current session
metadata confirms the model and effort. The context window size is not
exposed.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #19025.

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

**Paperclip version or commit**

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

**Deployment mode**

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

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

**What did you expect to happen?**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

**Paperclip version or commit**

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

**Deployment mode**

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

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

## Model Used

- Anthropic Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), through Claude Code,
with tool use and code execution. A human directed the design and
approved the scope.

DottaandPaperclip d180ad8c77 fix(heartbeat): retry chat execution authorization contention (#19017)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A task Retry must use the current task and chat authority.
> - The request and queue paths already retain a Retry through brief
lock contention.
> - Execution checks that authority twice, including after native input
preparation.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A failed chat task can accept a normal Retry and then fail during
execution setup when another PostgreSQL transaction holds the task row
or chat identity lock. The late check can fail after native input and
workspace preparation. The exception can then enter the workspace
preservation path.

**Expected behavior**

Keep the same admitted run and its frozen input. Retry a recognized,
rolled-back authorization conflict within the existing bound. Recheck
current authority before each attempt. Reject Stop, paused agents,
revoked chat access, or a changed task owner before the execution
callback.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Admit a normal failed-chat task Retry with the existing PostgreSQL
fixture.
2. On a second connection, hold the task row or the chat identity
advisory lock when execution authorization starts.
3. Release the lock after the real authorizer reports contention.
4. Observe that the original code fails the run before the authorized
callback. Repeat at the late native check after input preparation.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on master `039e0dad2c51c80251e1302a19c5566e039c357a`. The
branch is rebased on `8f06bd4e1`.

**Deployment mode**

Source checkout with real PostgreSQL and the local HTTP Retry route.
Provider and chat transport responses use controlled test fixtures.

Refs: #18895 and #18896 cover request and queue admission. This change
covers execution authorization. #18898 and #18989 cover predecessor
cleanup, a separate boundary. The roadmap and public PR search show no
duplicate execution-authorization repair.

## What Changed

- Recognize the existing typed chat-presentation contention error in the
bounded admission retry helper. Keep its existing PostgreSQL
lock-unavailable handling.
- Use that helper at both execution authorization checks. Each attempt
checks cancellation and the applicable legacy controller lease, then
opens a fresh transaction. The loop contains no provider or workspace
callback.
- Include failed-chat Retry in the existing final dispatch ownership
gate. This preserves current task ownership and native recovery owner
checks after a delay.
- Add real PostgreSQL contention, late prepared-input, Stop, pause,
revocation, owner replacement, native completion, and ordinary legacy
completion controls. Document the retry and dispatch boundaries.

## Verification

- The unchanged base failed real task-row and chat-identity contention
cases. A separate late native case failed after frozen input
preparation. A safety control then proved that a replaced task owner
could still reach the backend; the final dispatch gate fixes that path.
- All 11 PostgreSQL cases and all four helper controls pass. The tests
keep exact frozen model and trust input, reject changed authority, and
do not replay a provider callback.
- A real local HTTP Retry reaches the native executor, one controlled
provider turn, one accepted result, a committed finalizer, and one
published chat reply. Reprocessing the canonical request does not start
another turn.
- A separate real HTTP ordinary legacy Retry runs one controlled adapter
callback, completes its task through the normal service, and does not
replay the canonical request.
- Independent review found no material issue in the two production
files. It checked transaction scope, lock order, current ownership,
native lease expiry, and import cycles.
- The full workspace typecheck and full `pnpm build` pass on this head.
Full `pnpm test:run` passed all 1,916 chat integration cases. Its
broader server group reported the existing workspace-runtime case
`returns a bounded structured conflict and exposes only same-company
workspace references` as failed after 46 ms. The unchanged focused case
and the complete 179-case file both pass on rerun. The active broad run
was then stopped for this finite handoff; its child exited 130 and the
command exited 1. The detailed assertion was buffered and was not
retained, so its exact cause remains unknown. This is a partial local
run, not a full local pass; later local groups did not run. All three CI
chat shards pass. [Greptile reviewed this exact head at 5/5 with no
findings](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/19017#issuecomment-6638521119).
- Retained setup and fixture failures are not counted as product
regressions or passes. An incomplete copied Copilot runtime failed the
first typecheck; the supported installer repaired that isolated
dependency, then typecheck passed. Early acceptance fixtures used a
wrong publication field or did not complete their task; the final
controls use the real field and completion service.
- The first CI run failed [workspace shard
1](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41885475363/job/126769239992)
on child-server startup and a five-second dense ZIP test deadline.
[Server shard
2](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41885475363/job/126769239908)
failed an existing local runtime readiness probe. All 18 cases in the
two CLI files and the runtime case then passed unchanged locally on this
head. The CLI files also match an earlier independently verified head
byte for byte. One failed-job rerun was requested. Its [server
job](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41885475363/job/126777070120)
was cancelled after the runner received a shutdown signal. It produced
no test verdict. After that workflow ended, only the interrupted server
job and its required dependents were rescheduled once. The [complete
workspace rerun
passed](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41885475363/job/126777070125).
The [rescheduled server
job](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41885475363/job/126781960353)
and its aggregate passed. The [complete current-head workflow is
green](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41885475363).
All required current-head CI and security gates pass, including the
Ready-triggered scans; three conditional checks are skipped. The
complete unchanged idle-history file also passes all 75 cases locally.
No timeout or assertion changed; all attempts remain part of this
result.
- These local controls do not claim hosted-provider or Linux sandbox
acceptance. The original task-row failure did not retain a SQLSTATE; the
PostgreSQL reproduction proves the local gap without assigning that
original cause.

## Risks

- The existing bound allows 50 backoffs of 100 ms. It limits backoff
time, not total database or lease wall time.
- Native ownership is checked at the final dispatch gate. The
per-attempt controller lease assertion applies to legacy execution.
- A persistent lock or changed authority still fails closed. Unknown
prior provider effects and accepted work retain their existing guards.
- No migration or model, account, trust, credential, or permission
policy change is included.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, tool use, code editing, and
PostgreSQL verification. The host does not expose the exact serving
model ID or context-window size.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

**Paperclip version or commit**

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

Devin FoleyandPaperclip edb9d29942 fix(recovery): preserve Retry authority and reopen cross-task cases (#18997)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Tasks keep execution identity and saved workspace files separate
from control-plane updates.
> - A scanner can have permission to reopen a case while its run cannot
restore that case's files.
> - Retry can also follow a preparation failure that has no
recovery-action record.
> - Both paths can accept valid work but leave the target unable to run.
> - This change restores files under the target executor and saves
admitted Retry authority on the canonical receipt.
> - Existing workspace, user, source and successor checks still apply.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

An authorized agent updates another closed task. The route tries to
restore the target workspace under the caller's run identity and returns
`403 Task workspace run identity is unavailable`.

A separate failure occurs when a normal board Retry follows a
pre-provider preparation failure. Admission has no recovery-action row
on which to save continuation authority. Dispatch then fails with
`continuation_user_authorization_missing`.

**Expected behavior**

Accept the authorized task update. Restore its terminal workspace when
the target's admitted executor starts. An admitted Retry must retain its
exact dispatch authority even when the predecessor has no
recovery-action record.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Complete a task with an isolated workspace. From a different running
task, use an authorized comment or PATCH with `resume: true` on that
closed task.
2. Separately, fail native preparation before provider work starts, with
no recovery-action row. Submit board Retry, admit its successor, and
build the execution continuation.
3. Before this change, the first path returns 403 and the second rejects
its admitted authority.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced against `e968131efa7e63d321f3bcca8d47a62513c2efb4`. Rebased
onto `afbc5a885b5`.

**Deployment mode**

Server-managed native task execution. Tests use real PostgreSQL and
temporary workspace files.

Related PRs: #16927 covers terminal workspace races. #17916 retains
exact native export sources. Neither covers these route and Retry
receipt failures. A GitHub search found no duplicate. ROADMAP.md was
checked; this is a recovery bug fix.

## What Changed

- Defer workspace restoration only for authorized cross-task comments
and updates from a live run. Checkout keeps its existing workspace
identity checks.
- Restore the target's selected terminal workspace under its own
admitted run. Preserve its saved files and existing source checks. Leave
manually archived workspaces unchanged.
- Store server-created continuation authority on the canonical admitted
Retry receipt when no source recovery-action record exists. Existing
action records remain authoritative. Read the fallback only after
matching the company, task, agent, user, source, generation and
successor.
- Add route and PostgreSQL regression tests. Document both paths.

## Verification

- Red: both cross-task route tests returned the observed 403 before the
route fix.
- Red: the target executor could not reuse its archived terminal
workspace before the restoration fix.
- Red: an admitted preparation Retry with no recovery-action row failed
with `continuation_user_authorization_missing` before the receipt fix.
- Green: 419 recovery and continuation tests pass, plus 183 focused
route, environment and Retry tests. The assembled heartbeat test starts
the agent in the same terminal worktree and verifies both its unpushed
commit and uncommitted file bytes. It fails before the restoration fix.
- Negative cases reject wrong Retry runs, users, source runs,
generations, unadmitted receipts and missing authority. The original
failed run stays unchanged. Workspace tests verify saved file bytes.
- Full `pnpm build`, `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm check:module-boundaries`
and `git diff --check` pass.
- The full suite found an existing assembled chat authority regression:
clearing a recovery-action record could be bypassed by the new fallback.
The fix now writes the fallback only when that source has no action
record. That assembled regression passes with the original test
unchanged.
- Full `pnpm test:run` is running again. Its first attempt also hit an
unrelated ancestor skill-root lookup for a missing Slack skill. The
rerun uses a temporary untracked link to the repository's own bundled
skills. This link is excluded from the PR. Full-suite completion and
hosted CI are pending.
- Hosted CI has multiple runner interruptions. E2e shard 1/8, server
shards 3/12, 8/12 and 12/12, and workspaces-a shard 1/2 show runner
shutdown signals. E2e shard 5/8 and server shards 1/12 and 2/12 have
GitHub annotations reporting lost runner communication; their logs
return 404. The `ci / verify` assertion failed because the general-test
matrix was cancelled. GitHub rejected job and failed-workflow reruns
while this workflow is still running. Rerun the interrupted checks after
it settles.
- Greptile reviewed exact head
`a1e3929aedb1ee3bfcd001f4ebb1510106bf4070` at 2026-11-04 17:37 UTC: 5/5,
with no new blocking findings and no unresolved review threads.

## Risks

- A deferred workspace restore can still fail at target admission. The
run keeps the existing workspace failure path; this change does not
bypass file recovery or provider stop checks.
- Retry receipts now store server-created authority. Existing action
receipts remain valid. No schema migration is required.
- Local regression tests establish the software behavior. The new
revision has not been deployed to a hosted instance.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` through the Codex harness in T3 Code, with xhigh
reasoning, repository inspection, tool use and code execution. The
context-window size is not exposed by the runtime.

DottaandPaperclip 6364fa7327 fix(heartbeat): wait for retry predecessor cleanup (#18989)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent work and preserves its task ownership.
> - Heartbeat admission controls when a queued run can start.
> - A failed run can still own workspace saving and environment cleanup.
> - Automatic recovery can transfer the task execution lock to its
queued retry before that cleanup finishes.
> - The old queue check then sees the retry itself and misses the
predecessor's remaining work.
> - This pull request checks the exact retry predecessor before claiming
the queued run.
> - Existing cleanup notifications can then resume that same run through
normal admission.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18898 and #18691. The first repair covers canonical connected-task
retries with a native source. The second covers live remote workspace
writers. This change covers ordinary automatic continuation when the
predecessor failed before native runtime selection. The search found no
open repair for that path.

**What happened?**

A preparation failure saved a terminal legacy run row while its remote
workspace save and environment cleanup were still active. Generic
continuation created one queued successor and moved the task execution
lock to it. The queue checked that current lock but did not check the
successor's predecessor. The new run started and failed at the existing
unfinished-writer guard.

**Expected behavior**

Keep that same successor queued until its exact predecessor finishes
execution and cleanup. Check company, agent and task identity before
using retry provenance as a wait condition. Preserve Stop, reassignment,
failed cleanup and independent recovery gates.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Save a failed legacy preparation run with an active environment
lease.
2. Queue its ordinary automatic continuation and bind the task execution
lock to the successor.
3. Claim the queued run before the predecessor finishes cleanup.
4. The old code starts the successor. The fixed code retains it in the
queue.
5. Commit successful cleanup through the existing cleanup owner. The
ordinary dispatcher starts that same run once.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The causal regression fails on master
`86814c6550f52e99ede150a883bdc773cbb540e3`.

**Deployment mode**

Source checkout on macOS arm64 with disposable PostgreSQL, the assembled
heartbeat service and the production work coordinator. The adapter
boundary is controlled. No hosted provider replay or deployment is
claimed.

## What Changed

- Check the current task execution owner and the retry's exact
predecessor under the existing task claim lock.
- Use the saved native task binding, ordinary task binding and
historical context fallback in that order. Ignore unrelated retry
provenance.
- Reuse the existing live-executor and pending-cleanup checks. Reuse
committed cleanup notifications and the existing dispatcher.
- Add real PostgreSQL claim controls and assembled cleanup-event
acceptance. Keep the original source failure, saved files and current
task ownership intact.
- Document the queued predecessor-cleanup rule.

## Verification

- RED: the unchanged queue claimed the successor and wrote a new
controller lease while its legacy predecessor retained an active remote
environment lease. The regression expected the successor to remain
queued.
- GREEN: the same regression passes after the change. The complete queue
suite passes all 71 tests.
- The assembled heartbeat suite passes all six tests. The added cases
cover one continuation after committed cleanup, saved-file reuse, final
task lock release, board Stop, reassignment and failed cleanup.
- Scope controls cover a deleted source after scan, another company,
another task, another agent, canonical native task binding and the
existing current-owner hold. A failed cleanup and a still-live local
executor retain the wait.
- Node 24.19.0 and pnpm 9.15.4. Module boundaries and `git diff --check`
pass.
- Initial fixture attempts failed on database constraints and observer
timing. The final fixtures use valid immutable bindings, the board Stop
attribution and a completed real dispatcher call after reading the exact
committed lease state. Production ownership guards were retained
throughout.
- Full low-memory repository typecheck passed at `5cddb49322`. The sync
to master `04a24f4e06` adds only the independent retained-allocation
test fixture from #18984; production code is unchanged.
- Full `pnpm build` passes on current head
`c7c2bcf08ffd05be5ce714683ae1dcfe6f5b49f1`.
- The post-sync run executes all 80 behavior assertions successfully
across the queue, assembled cleanup and updated upstream retention
suites. Its queue `afterAll` then exceeds the existing 30-second
database shutdown hook. That failed suite result is retained. The
controlled post-build queue rerun passes all 71 tests with normal
teardown. The earlier shutdown cause remains undetermined. Its owned
queue-test PostgreSQL process has exited. The separate local default
`pnpm test:run` was intentionally stopped after full unfiltered CI
passed on the exact head. Four local chat partitions completed before
that stop; this is not a local full-suite pass. The verified owned
process group and its PostgreSQL fixture have exited. Logs and retained
fixture data remain available. The timeout has not been increased.
- Full unfiltered CI passes on current head
`c7c2bcf08ffd05be5ce714683ae1dcfe6f5b49f1`: all 12 server shards, all
six internal chat partitions, all nine serialized server shards, the
workspace groups, native Runner lanes, typecheck, build and browser E2E.
Both required [ci /
verify](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41866478617/job/126711606613)
and [ci /
e2e](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41866478617/job/126711263146)
pass. The file selector is skipped, so this is the full CI test matrix.
The head has 55 successful checks and three expected skipped checks. The
ready-for-review contributor trust and security scan also pass.
- Current-head Greptile is 5/5, its check is successful, and no inline
review threads remain. The ordinary review check also passes. No merge,
deployment or original task retry was performed.

## Risks

- A predecessor with unfinished cleanup keeps its successor queued. Its
existing cleanup owner remains responsible for settlement.
- A task claim reads at most one additional predecessor row. A matching
source also uses the existing ownership and cleanup queries. The change
adds no timer, schema, credential, provider or model policy.
- A committed cleanup signal only requests normal admission. Current
ownership and independent execution gates still apply.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, code editing, tool use and
PostgreSQL verification. The session does not expose a more specific
serving model ID or context-window limit.

DottaandPaperclip aaea05e158 fix(native): preserve backups when completed warm sessions retire (#18986)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native Runner keeps provider history when a warm session ends.
> - Object storage must preserve that history before the sandbox is
released.
> - A completed turn releases its live controller lease.
> - The backup owner lookup rejects that released lease and stops the
next task preparation.
> - This pull request uses the existing completed-run checkpoint fence
for backup storage.
> - The next turn can prepare after the previous provider state is
saved.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #18932, #18011, #18984.

**What happened?**

A warm Codex turn completed and kept its provider session alive. The
next turn stopped during preparation with
`native_harness_storage_owner_missing`. The backup lookup required a
live lease after normal completion had released it.

**Expected behavior**

Save the completed session under its retained controller generation and
committed result. Keep the existing owner and successor checks. Do not
start another provider turn during the save.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run a warm native session with object-backed provider backups.
2. Commit the first turn and release its controller lease.
3. Start the next task preparation and retire the previous session.
4. Observe the backup owner error before provider work starts.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The regression is present at `86814c6550f52e99ede150a883bdc773cbb540e3`.

**Deployment mode**

A hosted server with a remote native Runner and S3 storage.

## What Changed

- Accept a released backup owner only when its exact controller record
has a committed result.
- Reuse the checkpoint owner policy for same-controller preparation and
native successors.
- Recheck the controller generation, committed result, and released
state after upload.
- Preserve live-owner rejection and the rule that a late upload cannot
replace a newer conversation backup.
- Add real PostgreSQL storage and restore regressions. Document the
completed-run backup rule.

## Verification

- On 2026-11-04, two new regressions failed on the unchanged source with
`native_harness_storage_owner_missing`. These covered an idle completed
session and a same-controller preparing successor.
- After the fix, 54 selected tests passed: 30 durable backup tests and
24 existing early-retirement checkpoint tests. After the fixture-only
upstream sync, all 58 selected storage, checkpoint, process, and
affected fixture cases passed again.
- The storage cases use real PostgreSQL, encrypted archives, object
transfer, and restoration. They cover invalid completion evidence,
foreign or expired successors, active predecessors, changed generations,
changes during upload, and newer backup publication.
- Command: `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/services/native-runtime/native-harness-backup-storage.integration.test.ts
server/src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts
-t 'released|backup|early retirement|durably retires an accepted warm
Runner'`.
- An independent source review found no outstanding code issue.
- Full repository typecheck passed with `node
scripts/typecheck-low-memory.mjs` before the upstream fixture-only sync.
Production source is unchanged across that sync.
- An assembled process probe passed with the Runner binary built from
this head and a fake Codex protocol peer. It started real processes,
committed a result, released the source lease, claimed the next
controller, and completed the source stop, drain, and suspend commands.
It recorded one provider turn start and kept the task bound to its
successor.
- Command: `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts
-t 'durably retires an accepted warm Runner'`.
- CI exposed the old allocation-readiness test setup in three cases. The
branch now includes the merged #18984 fixture correction. The same three
cases passed locally after that sync.
- An earlier CI test shard was cancelled after its runner received a
shutdown signal. Its log was retained before one rerun. Another old-head
shard reported failure with no retrievable job log or annotations; its
cause remains unknown. Current-head CI must pass independently.
- Local `pnpm build` passed at this head. All 1,904 chat cases passed
across the supported local shards; the earlier shards used
byte-identical source before the fixture-only sync. The interrupted
default command is retained and is not reported as a pass.
- The local bulk server run had separate enrollment acknowledgment,
environment-run status, monitor-settle, idle-history teardown, and
repository-rehome failures. In isolation, idle-history passed all 75
tests and the unchanged repository cases passed with their original
limits (4.9s large files, 6.4s refs). The remaining four local failures
reproduced on unchanged master `04a24f4e06` under the same environment
and limits. Their causes remain unproven. Logs and the baseline
comparison were retained; the local full suite is not claimed as passed.
- Current-head CI first hit the unchanged repository-rehome large-file
case's 15s timeout. The same isolated case passed in 4.9s. After
source/call-path comparison, one bounded failed-shard retry passed all
115 executed suites; no assertion or timeout was changed. The original
timeout remains recorded.
- Local verification uses macOS 26.5.2 arm64, Node 26.4.0, pnpm 9.15.4,
PostgreSQL 18.1, and Cargo 1.97.1. The current tested head is
`622f69f76ff68c71eacdcbcbc6ab4d4c6eb83bf9`.
- The full unfiltered [PR
workflow](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41868587974)
passed at `622f69f76ff68c71eacdcbcbc6ab4d4c6eb83bf9`: all 12 general
server, 3 chat, 9 serialized, workspace, native Runner, build/typecheck,
E2E, and final verify lanes. The file selector was skipped, so this was
the complete fallback matrix.
- Greptile reports 5/5 on this exact head with no open review threads.
Disposable local test processes were cleaned up and the source tree is
clean.
- The real hosted Codex and S3 workflow has not been rerun because the
local verification environment has no remote provider credentials. The
original task remains unchanged.

## Risks

The main risk is a stale controller publishing provider history after a
new owner starts. Both storage transactions keep the company, run, boot,
and generation fence. A released owner must keep its committed result.
Existing successor checks and the newer-backup publication guard remain
in force. The live checkpoint writer still requires a non-null lease. No
migration or API change is required.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip afbc5a885b fix(workspaces): save partial and shallow Git checkouts offline (#18990)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their workspaces.
> - A completed remote run must save its files before finalization can
release its source.
> - A shallow Git mirror uses upload-pack and can omit objects that
exist only in the index.
> - A filtered source can also fail when that mirror requests blobs the
source never downloaded.
> - Fetching missing history is not required to preserve an existing
partial checkout.
> - This change saves the available object stores and their existing
shallow, sparse, and promisor state.
> - The benefit is an offline save that preserves accepted work and
remains readable by the existing archive reader.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #16727, #18705, and #18935. These changes cover managed clones,
streaming capture, and safe diagnostics. This change repairs Git
snapshot contents.

**What happened?**

Remote workspace capture invokes a mirror clone before it saves the
archive. A shallow filtered sparse checkout with a missing promised blob
fails that clone and surfaces `remote_workspace_operation_failed`. An
ordinary shallow checkout can also lose an index-only object during the
mirror transfer.

**Expected behavior**

Capture preserves the objects already available in the checkout,
including staged work. It preserves partial, shallow, and sparse
semantics without remote hydration. Corrupt or unsupported state must
keep its source and receive no successful save receipt.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a real Git repository with two paths and commit history.
2. Clone it with `--filter=blob:none --depth=1 --sparse`, then select
one path.
3. Stage a change, edit it again, and add an untracked file.
4. Remove access to the original repository and capture the workspace.
5. The base capture fails before transfer. The changed capture restores
the available work after the original source is removed.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `86814c655`. The same transport/archive sources are
present in `76e43852a`.

## What Changed

- Preserve existing object files for shallow and partial repositories,
including their original promisor pack markers.
- Preserve shallow boundaries and the selected sparse settings and
patterns.
- Validate available object contents with full Git fsck. Reject unknown
corruption instead of creating new promises.
- Deny Git network protocols during capture. Keep the ordinary mirror's
explicit local file transport.
- Exclude ambient Git location, index, object-store, config, and
template overrides. Disable templates for init and clone.
- Keep the existing archive format, source fences, path guards,
credential allowlist, and failure retention.
- Add real command and reader regressions for full, shallow, filtered,
sparse, corrupt, and unsupported repositories.

## Verification

- Red: the compiled Node 24 transport completed helper installation,
then failed capture with the same generic operation error and no
transfer. Dirty source bytes remained intact.
- Red: the new full/shallow/partial transport-to-reader cases exposed
both filtered upload-pack failure and a missing staged-only object.
Independent review then reproduced accepted corrupt object bytes and
ambient template config/hook copying.
- Green: all 110 transport/archive cases pass after those repairs. They
cover staged, dirty, and untracked work; ordinary and forged-promisor
corruption; malformed filters; alternate stores; unsafe links;
credential redaction; and template isolation. An initial linked-worktree
config regression was fixed before this complete passing run.
- A compiled new capture restored through both the unchanged earlier
reader and the new reader after source removal. HEAD, status, work
bytes, sparse/shallow state, and the same missing promised object were
preserved. Full Git fsck passed. No remote protocol was permitted.
- Full repository `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass at
`91ca00a8327216def91303e19940e92ffe07c08f`. The build stamp names that
exact head.
- The [complete current-head CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41865961403/attempts/2)
is green: all 58 checks are terminal with no failure or pending check.
Three expected skips and one neutral review remain those states.
- Preserve the [first CI
attempt](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41865961403/attempts/1):
one browser case reached its 5-second heading deadline while the
conversation pane was loading; a chat worker reported shutdown; another
browser worker lost communication and its log blob was absent. A
failed-job-only retry passed at the same source head. No test deadline,
assertion, or source change was made for that retry.
- The complete local `pnpm test:run` passed all 1,904 chat cases across
six partitions. Its later general-server phase timed out two unchanged
tool-access cases at 15 seconds. That known-red command was stopped
before completion. Both cases then passed unchanged in a fresh isolated
process. The original timeout cause remains unknown; this is not a full
local-suite pass.
- [Greptile reports
5/5](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18990#issuecomment-6635931211)
at the current head with no actionable finding. The product review's
loose-object cost advisory was [answered with local measurements and
resolved](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18990#discussion_r4470261833).
There are no unresolved review threads.
- Original service acceptance remains unverified. Recorded checkout text
is mechanism-compatible narrative evidence, not proof of its physical
Git state or original failure cause. This PR includes no deployment or
additional live recovery.

## Risks

- Full object validation and copying available metadata use CPU and
temporary space proportional to the local object store.
- The offline path rejects alternate object stores and unsupported
partial filters. Such sources remain protected.
- Promised objects remain missing. Later work still needs ordinary
repository access to request them.
- There is no archive format or schema change. Existing readers restore
standard Git files, and existing full snapshots remain covered.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, repository tools, shell
execution, and local verification. The host does not expose a more
specific serving model ID or context window size.

DottaandPaperclip 86814c6550 fix(recovery): ready retained sandboxes before preparation (#18934)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages work performed by AI agents.
> - Restart recovery must preserve each run's workspace and execution
owner.
> - A retained remote lease can refer to an archived sandbox.
> - The reattachment path returned that lease without making it ready.
> - A short project-authentication command then had to start the
sandbox.
> - This PR resumes and verifies the exact retained allocation before
preparation.
> - Recovery keeps the recorded workspace and preserves saved work if
resume fails.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A native run resumed after a controller restart. Its saved sandbox had
been archived. Reattachment returned its lease without a provider
lifecycle resume. The next project-authentication probe tried to start
that sandbox with its 15-second command budget. The start failed before
the probe could inspect project settings. The heartbeat reported a
configuration conflict and stopped work.

**What did you expect to happen?**

Make the exact retained sandbox ready through the existing bounded
lifecycle operation. Verify its allocation before running short
preparation commands. Keep the validated lease and recorded working
directory. Never acquire a replacement in this path.

**Steps to reproduce**

Hold the provider's exact-lease resume pending and call remote
reattachment for an active ephemeral lease. Before this change,
acquisition returns immediately. The added tests hold acquisition until
resume completes and reject missing, changed or expired allocation
evidence. Provider compatibility cases retain the recorded workspace
when resume omits directory metadata or returns the allocation root.

**Deployment mode**

Native Runner in a sandbox with a retained workspace and managed AI
connection. The observed provider was Daytona.

Refs #18910, which restores selection of retries using current remote
workspace storage. This change repairs the next preparation boundary.
Related #17421 and #18559 change project-file inspection; they do not
make retained sandbox leases ready.

## What Changed

- Resume the exact validated sandbox lease before returning it to
preparation.
- Require the receipt to confirm the original provider allocation
without reporting expiration.
- Keep the original database lease and recorded directory. Resume
metadata can describe the allocation root.
- Pass the existing typed resume-directory input through the runtime
facade.
- Preserve retained E2B sandboxes when resume timeout setup or workspace
inspection fails. Keep new-allocation cleanup and explicit
release/destroy behavior.
- Preserve plugin-task reattachment and lease identity checks.
- Update the Stop-accounting fixture to confirm exact-allocation resume
before cleanup, with its budget, ownership and no-paid-work assertions
intact.
- Document the ordering and add readiness, receipt, failure and
ownership regressions.

## Verification

- Red: seven initial retained-lease cases failed before the readiness
change. Two receipt-compatibility cases and four E2B preservation cases
failed before their fixes.
- Green: all four runtime, workspace-preparation, heartbeat-recovery and
orchestrator suites pass: **442 tests**.
- The Stop-accounting CI failure reproduced locally. All **five**
integration cases pass with the exact-allocation resume fixture.
- All **22 E2B tests**, the standalone plugin typecheck and its build
pass.
- **13 Daytona safety cases** pass, including recorded directories,
allocation sentinel rejection, saved-file reads and no replacement
creation. The SDK boundary is simulated; the saved-file case uses real
files and a POSIX shell.
- These focused checks cover **482 passing cases**.
- Full recursive typecheck, final server typecheck and full workspace
build pass on macOS arm64 with Node 24.22.2 and PostgreSQL 18.1.
- Greptile is **5/5** on head
`32f915a475275680bcf2a2aa43ae0c72f4e4b1db`. Both original review threads
are resolved.
- All current-head CI gates pass. The check rollup has 54 successful
checks, three skipped checks and one neutral check.
- The separate Paperclip Review check remains queued. Its public
response says work is paused and the request is saved. The review task
is waiting for saved-file recovery, so no Paperclip assessment of this
head is claimed. The branch-required gate has passed.
- A read-only deployed trace showed an archived sandbox start fail at
the short probe's 15-second deadline. Actual provider reattachment with
this revision has not been exercised. Live recovery remains unverified
until rollout.

## Risks

Recovery now makes one bounded lifecycle call before short preparation
commands. A missing resume capability or a missing, changed or expired
allocation receipt holds recovery. The existing runtime and provider
retain allocation and sentinel verification. The path does not acquire,
release, replace or reseed the lease. Warm providers can return their
existing allocation. E2B retains the existing sandbox if resume setup
fails; explicit lifecycle cleanup still owns its removal. No background
polling, credential-policy change, migration, workflow change or
lockfile change is added.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, source inspection, tool use
and code execution. The exact backend snapshot and context window were
not exposed.

DottaandPaperclip 84e9c8f364 fix(retry): wait for admitted source cleanup before dispatch (#18898)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Connected-task Retry keeps the original request and its current
authority.
> - One durable Retry can already own a queued successor.
> - The old native environment can still have pending cleanup before
that successor starts.
> - The task execution lock points to the successor, so the old cleanup
can escape the queue claim check.
> - Dispatch then refuses the source state and fails the new run before
provider work.
> - This pull request keeps that same run queued and wakes dispatch when
cleanup changes.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18845, #18853, #18860, #18877, #18882 and #18932. These repairs
cover preservation binding, interrupted preparation, old native
ownership, manual native holds or other setup guards. This change covers
an already admitted connected-task Retry whose native predecessor still
owes cleanup. It uses the shared cleanup predicate so the manual-hold
repair remains with its existing owner. Search found no duplicate
queued-source cleanup repair.

**What happened?**

A board Retry saved its exact chat request and admitted one queued
successor. The source lease was still pending cleanup when that
successor reached dispatch. A retained stop receipt did not settle the
full cleanup contract. The queue checked the task's current execution
owner, which was already the successor. The native authorization guard
then rejected the predecessor state and failed the new run before
provider dispatch.

**Expected behavior**

Keep the same canonical Retry and queued run while the exact source
cleanup is pending. After authoritative settlement, submit that run
through normal dispatch once. Do not infer safe execution from a
stop-and-retain receipt alone.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Retry an authorized connected request from a failed native run.
2. Admit one successor while capacity keeps it queued.
3. Leave or restore the source lease to pending cleanup with a matching
retained stop receipt.
4. Release capacity and resume the ordinary queue.
5. The old claim path starts the successor and the native source guard
refuses it.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced against master at `f77499283270d2e966aabd58493f9d35c6bbdf5f`.

**Deployment mode**

The regression uses the real HTTP route, chat authorization, queue
claims, disposable PostgreSQL and the production work coordinator on
macOS arm64. A controlled adapter supplies the final result. No hosted
provider replay or deployment is claimed.

## What Changed

- Validate the exact canonical Retry, chat action, company, task, agent,
source and successor before testing source cleanup.
- Keep the successor queued under the existing issue claim lock while
the shared cleanup predicate remains pending.
- Wake only the scoped queued-dispatch worker after cleanup or exact
workspace-owner release commits. Add no timer or background scan.
- Verify pending cleanup at intake, later cleanup invalidation, one
final execution, idempotency, Stop, changed input, unknown stop
receipts, a different live controller and signed sandbox absence
followed by owner release.
- Document the queued-wait contract. No schema, endpoint, credential,
model or provider policy changes are required.
- Align five native preparation acceptance fixtures with the existing
workspace publication contract. Use the real reservation and publication
owner. Retain a raw-root refusal case with no provider launch and
preserved files.

## Verification

- Latest master sync at `e26cad76b8f20ba823d702ed60e7b7294f8f5a7c`
includes master `396b7fc62a0a4b1d8aadbda8221c05879d54177c`. The shared
test helper preserves #18944's canonical retained-directory default, the
real publisher for the five fresh-workspace cases, and the explicit
raw-root refusal. Independent remerge review found no dropped upstream
behavior, guard or assertion.
- The latest head passes the focused six cases, all 580 complete
workspace/continuation tests, all 38 selected HTTP Retry cases, fresh
full recursive Node 24.22.2 types and full build. No affected tests
skipped. An initial cached test-layer attempt read old budget
declarations; regenerating them resolved all seven errors without
test/mock or production-export changes.
- All current-head CI is green at
`e26cad76b8f20ba823d702ed60e7b7294f8f5a7c`, including required [ci /
verify](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41846304017/job/126636751314)
and [ci /
e2e](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41846304017/job/126636638086).
Greptile and Paperclip Review both rate this exact head 5/5, with no
findings or open review threads.
- Master sync at `3e4f266c2da172a84afd0b9cb4a91ea3b95f3c0d` merges
master `b891e69bd23d6dab8ce536569e15bc4a7a31c35c`. The only conflicts
were adjacent queue imports and two HTTP Retry test matrices. Both
imports and both complete matrices remain unchanged. Independent review
found no relaxed guard or assertion.
- Node 24.22.2 and pnpm 9.15.4: all 38 selected real HTTP Retry cases,
194 queue/cleanup/finalizer cases, module boundaries, recursive types
and build pass at `3e4f266c2da172a84afd0b9cb4a91ea3b95f3c0d`.
- That sync head's [server
check](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41838741852/job/126604742761)
failed five native acceptance cases in CI and locally with
`remote_workspace_published_path_invalid`. The test fixture supplied a
raw directory instead of a fresh publisher-generated workspace. The
guard from #18932 remains unchanged. The same five cases passed earlier
Linux CI before that guard was present.
- The test-only alignment at `dcdee1bb6c2e2e6dd494382499d17c23a3ce71a8`
obtains the saved authority, path and run reference from real
`reserveRemoteWorkspace` and `prepareRemoteWorkspace`. All five original
cases and a raw-root no-launch/no-result/files-preserved control pass.
Their native result, file, catalog and single-execution assertions
remain intact. An initial setup attempt was refused for a noncanonical
allocation root; the fixture now resolves that owned root before
publication.
- At previous fixture head `dcdee1bb6c2e2e6dd494382499d17c23a3ce71a8`,
the generated server test-layer typecheck passed. All 580 tests in the
complete workspace/continuation family pass, with no skips. That
test-only commit left production files byte-identical to the sync head.
- Previous published-head CI was green at
`dcdee1bb6c2e2e6dd494382499d17c23a3ce71a8`, including required `ci /
verify` and `ci / e2e`. The [Linux Node 24.22.2 server
shard](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41842665765/job/126618334638)
executed all five original acceptance cases and the new raw-root refusal
case successfully. Its whole workspace recovery file passed all 245
tests.
- Greptile reviewed previous published head
`dcdee1bb6c2e2e6dd494382499d17c23a3ce71a8` at 5/5, with no findings or
open review threads. No unchanged-job rerun was used for the reproduced
sync-head failure.
- Causal red: the real HTTP regression started and failed the successor
at the native source-state guard while cleanup remained pending. A
second red proved that signed sandbox absence followed by copyback-owner
release lacked a queued-dispatch wake.
- Green: seven HTTP/PostgreSQL cleanup cases, the exact confirmed-owner
release notification control and seven existing retry lineage controls
pass. The real coordinator resumes from committed cleanup or
workspace-owner release, without a manual queue restart. One controlled
adapter execution produces the result after settlement.
- Earlier branch verification passed full repository `pnpm -r
typecheck`, `pnpm build`, module boundaries and `git diff --check`.
- The full stale-queue file control passed all 64 cases with unchanged
observer/hook limits. The initial broader affected run had 192 passes
and one non-assignee native-owner case miss its existing five-second
adapter observer while already running with no error. The isolated case
passed; the unchanged base passed all 64 cases but hit its existing
30-second teardown timeout. Those original results are retained. The new
queue hint has no dispatch consumer in that fixture.
- Earlier-head CI was green: 54 success, three skipped and two neutral
checks at `6adb9f1ba682282c512d5e751ba2aa663f614ca2`. One chat job was
cancelled by an external runner shutdown; its single unchanged-job rerun
passed. No source was changed to obtain that result.
- Greptile and Paperclip Review both rated earlier head
`6adb9f1ba682282c512d5e751ba2aa663f614ca2` 5/5 with no findings or
unresolved threads. These results do not qualify the master-sync head.
- At initial verification, a complete local `pnpm test:run` was not
repeated while the related setup repair's full local run was active. The
full earlier-head CI suites passed. A full local suite has not been
repeated for the mechanical master sync. Local verification uses the
affected HTTP, producer, lineage and queue suites. No full local-suite
pass is claimed.
- The fresh clone's missing plugin SDK links were repaired with the
repository's own postinstall helper before verification. The embedded
PostgreSQL package's own symlink helper was also required.
- No staging task was submitted again with this repair, and no
deployment is claimed.

## Risks

- A pending source cleanup can keep the queued run waiting. Its cleanup
owner still owns reconciliation and its existing limits.
- Stop, changed source, unknown termination and live ownership retain
their existing authority checks. A cleanup notification grants no
execution authority.
- A new cleanup change after claim still faces the existing final
dispatch guard.
- Cleanup notifications can change dispatch timing in a running
controller. The real coordinator cases verify commit-bound wakeups; the
broader current queue-file control passed all 64 cases. The earlier
loaded-run and baseline teardown failures are retained in verification.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, code editing, tool use,
PostgreSQL and browser verification. This session does not expose a more

DottaandPaperclip 396b7fc62a fix(runner): scope session diagnostics to the active run recorder (#18944)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents and their work.
> - The native executor can retain a transport between runs.
> - Each run recorder has a shorter lifetime than that transport.
> - The transport kept its first recorder after warm reuse and
completion.
> - A later close could write to the wrong run or a sealed object log.
> - This change binds diagnostics to the active run epoch and retires
that binding at execution exit.
> - The existing recorder still owns accepted-byte draining and honest
incomplete finalization.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A warm native transport retained the first run's diagnostic callback.
Reusing the session for another run did not change that callback. A
later idle close could append to a retired writer and emit a persistence
warning.

**Expected behavior**

Active diagnostics belong to the current company, session and run. A
retired transport callback must not use a completed recorder. Diagnostic
metadata must not delay essential execution cleanup.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the native warm-session regression with two sequential run owners.
Close the retained transport after both runs finish. The original code
calls the first recorder. The real completion regression also observes
the resulting closed-writer warning after normal lease cleanup.

This is a local source defect with behavioral red/green proof. Repeated
hosted generic persistence warnings motivated the investigation, but
their original exceptions were not retained. This PR does not claim to
identify every such warning or repair an export failure.

Related #18379 queues sanitized performance spans in heartbeat. It does
not own transport diagnostic callback lifetime.

## What Changed

- Bind transport diagnostics to an exact active company/session/run
epoch, including warm reuse.
- Activate a retained channel in the existing session-admission hook
after identity validation and before attachment starts, including an
attachment failure before `onSession`.
- Forward active diagnostics synchronously. Detach their recorder at
execution exit. Keep the original asynchronous metadata semantics.
- Keep idle transport evidence inspectable. Log only a fixed category
and trusted company/run identifiers to the process logger.
- Preserve recorder-owned byte draining, redaction, source coverage and
genuine persistence-failure warnings.
- Cover actual native executor, completion and lease-close boundaries,
including stalled local appends and exact object-log source/hash
preservation.
- Place the retained-workspace test fixture under the existing
published-path contract after merging newer recovery tests from master.
Production validation and native/catalog assertions remain unchanged.

## Verification

- Current head: `c500e4933a85a4c453f66c872fa335108c661b15`. Normal
master merges preserve upstream behavior. The one textual conflict was
in the executor imports.
- The first GitHub run tested merge tree
`a4cb59448a3b5cc2047ac41c691720e6acec6e8d`, which included newer
recovery tests from master. Five cases failed with
`remote_workspace_published_path_invalid`. The same five failures
reproduced on an identical local tree. The fixture now puts retained
files under `.paperclip-workspaces/<workspaceId>` and keeps the target,
lease and authority bound to that path. Production validation and the
native-success/catalog-denial assertions are unchanged.
- On unchanged `c500e493`, the full recovery file passed **244/244**
tests. Existing cold-restore and occupied-root controls passed **4/4**.
Server typecheck, server production build, module boundaries and
whitespace checks passed. An intermediate missing-import setup failure
was corrected and is separate from the five-case behavioral red.
- Before that fixture correction, local `f2fdaddb` passed **1,221
tests** across the five diagnostic, executor, output, completion and
object-store files. Recursive typecheck and full repository build also
passed. Those results are tied to that earlier revision; [fresh
current-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41842043248)
must qualify the final merge.
- Behavioral regressions cover the original closed-writer warning, warm
A-to-B ownership, and an actual Runner attachment exception before
`onSession`. The admission hook gives the attachment diagnostic to B and
leaves A untouched. The attachment fixture uses synthetic event
persistence and outer failure projection; it does not certify a real
database terminal projection.
- The tests preserve synchronous diagnostic admission and asynchronous
metadata recording. A stalled append reaches the existing bounded
finalization result with unknown size/hash. The normal object-log
control preserves canonical bytes, SHA256 and complete source coverage
after lease cleanup.
- An initial local run had **37 PostgreSQL startup failures** because
the Darwin package lacked aliases to its included versioned libraries.
Only isolated `node_modules` aliases were restored. No source or
lockfile changed for this setup issue. A passing intermediate run
crossed a source merge and is excluded from immutable-head proof.
- An earlier combined test run passed 1,216 assertions but exited with a
completion `afterAll` timeout. Its cause remains unproved. Later
isolated 60/60 passes used the original timeout and do not erase that
failure. An earlier repository-wide `pnpm test:run` was interrupted
after its source became obsolete; it is not full-suite or current-head
proof.

Greptile reviewed the exact `c500e493` head at **5/5** with no open
findings. Fresh CI must pass before merge. The native review is queued
behind its separate saved-file recovery; no current-head native
assessment is claimed.

The provider execution loop is a fixture. These tests do not start a
model or prove hosted recovery. Missing accounting receipts remain
pending, not zero cost. Checkout-release invocation is observed; this is
not a separate task-arbiter journey. The original native review
published a valid finding before a separate workspace-export failure.
The finding is fixed; this PR does not claim to fix that export failure
or every hosted persistence warning.

## Risks

Idle process logs intentionally omit raw provider text. The existing
bounded transport evidence retains its own diagnostics. Accepted fs
appends that do not settle retain the existing unknown-size/hash warning
and cannot be certified complete. No new timeout, storage policy, schema
or provider execution is added.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` through Codex assisted with diagnosis,
implementation, tests and review. The exact context-window size is not
exposed. Tool use and code execution were enabled.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

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

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

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip b6352578c5 fix(task-retry): retain chat Retry during identity contention (#18896)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Task Retry must preserve a person's request and enforce the current
chat authority.
> - Chat retry preparation takes nonblocking source locks before it can
authorize the saved source.
> - Sustained lock contention could discard the Retry request before it
was saved.
> - This pull request saves one unadmitted request in the existing chat
retry queue.
> - The worker checks the source and current access before normal
admission. The task shows a scheduled retry while it waits.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Task Retry returned HTTP 500 when another transaction held the saved
chat principal's identity lock or the endpoint authorization row. The
source preparation error rolled back the canonical Retry intent. The
same gap existed when Retry had to restore a certified input batch that
had never reached a provider. With the bounded synchronous retries in
#18895, sustained contention returns 409 without a saved intent.

**Expected behavior**

HTTP 202 retains one Retry request. Acceptance does not grant source
authority or mean that a provider started. The existing worker prepares
the request if the source locks become available before its saved
deadline. It must reject changed input, revoked access, Stop, or
superseding work before input adoption, publication, or provider work.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Prepare a failed task with its original admitted GitHub chat source.
2. Hold that principal's `chat-identity` advisory lock or the endpoint
row on a second PostgreSQL connection.
3. Send the normal task Retry HTTP request. Check the response and
persisted intent.
4. Release the lock. Process the existing chat retry queue and check
that one authorized successor is queued.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on master `8771606fd87f69ed4057779e3dce3a9bca8088e6`.

**Deployment mode**

Source checkout, real Express Retry route and embedded PostgreSQL.
External chat transport is a test fixture. The live hosted fix has not
been deployed or verified.

Related: #18895 handles brief admission contention with bounded
synchronous attempts and returns 409 if it remains busy. This change
retains a durable request through sustained identity contention. It uses
the existing background retry owner and adds real HTTP, restored-input,
Stop, publication, restart, and task-presentation coverage.

## What Changed

- Preserve a strict pending-source action only when the identity
try-lock reports contention or the endpoint authorization query reports
lock-unavailable through an explicit Retry callback. Bind it to the
canonical task Retry, company, task, agent, endpoint, conversation, and
principal. Other database and authorization errors keep their existing
behavior.
- Revalidate the canonical intent, current board permission, saved
source, and latest execution before the existing worker can prepare that
action. Ordinary authorization rejects an unprepared action.
- Keep certified input restoration inside source preparation. Recheck
the saved deadline before the prepared payload write. Expiry, a nested
savepoint, or outer rollback cannot commit partial restoration.
- Give source authorization contention one saved 60-second deadline and
a separate counter. Keep its waiting phase until current source
authorization succeeds or the action terminates. It does not spend the
eight delivery attempts. Duplicate clicks, worker restart, and
background sweeps do not renew either limit. Reuse the existing work
notifications and outbox deadlines.
- Persist completion of the authorization wait under the current claim
before delivery. A restart revalidates current authority. Generic
delivery failure preserves the stored phase even when a commit
acknowledgment is lost; it does not grant a wake or renew the saved
deadline, counters, or claim.
- Project pending preparation and prepared but unsettled actions as the
existing scheduled-retry state with the actual outbox deadline. Keep the
exact task, intent, agent, and source binding. Active execution keeps
its normal working state. No UI or API enum change is needed.
- Add regressions and document the admission boundary.

## Verification

- RED: the original real HTTP route returned 500 under a held PostgreSQL
identity lock. The restored-input case also returned 500 while its 60
sibling source and budget cases passed. The current endpoint-row case
returned 409 without a saved intent under the bounded synchronous
fallback.
- RED: the worker failed a valid Retry during an actual nine-second
PostgreSQL lock. Removing only the latest-run guard makes the new
queued-run negative fail. Source preparation could also commit restored
input after its deadline, and an already prepared action could process
after a late lock release. The prepared but unsettled task view lost its
scheduled state.
- GREEN: all 91 selected real PostgreSQL integration cases passed.
Coverage includes the 62-case saved-input matrix; coalescing; restart;
one real heartbeat successor; source, actor, Stop, newer-work and
publication refusals; a real nine-second lock; fixed-deadline
exhaustion; the separate eight delivery attempts; certified restoration
rollback on expiry; prepared-action early and late release; a real
conversation-row wait that crosses the deadline during current
authorization; endpoint-row contention; unknown source; an
already-revoked actor; unchanged unrelated ingress errors; durable-work
idle settlement; actual outbox presentation deadlines; and recovery
after authorization commits, with Stop and a lost commit acknowledgment.
- GREEN: all 75 cases in `task-retry.test.ts`,
`task-interruption-presentation.test.ts`,
`chat-failed-run-retry-boundary.test.ts`, and `chat-action-work.test.ts`
passed without a name filter.
- RED → GREEN: stopping after source authorization committed left a
stale waiting flag, so a fresh worker failed a previously authorized
Retry after the deadline. The fix saves that phase in the same
transaction. A real PostgreSQL commit followed by an injected lost
acknowledgment also reproduced generic settlement restoring the stale
flag. The corrected settlement preserves the stored phase. No wake is
sent on the ambiguous response. Recovery queues once after current
checks; Stop still prevents a successor. The deadline, contention count,
original input, failed run, and publications stay unchanged.
- Module boundary checks pass. Full workspace typecheck and the full
build passed at `d8a4a1a739aa6825714b04691d4166a00991808b`. At this
exact head, both required checks (`ci / verify` and `ci / e2e`) pass.
The inventory has 53 successful, three skipped, and one neutral check,
plus the automatic Paperclip Review in progress. The legacy Snyk status
passes. Greptile is 5/5 on this head, with no new comments or unresolved
threads. A current Paperclip assessment has not been published yet.
- The full local `pnpm test:run` did not pass: its second chat shard hit
a 15-second timeout in the HTTP/restart test after 348 and 293 passing
cases. One bounded diagnostic of the same 642-case shard pair passed,
with that case completing in 606 ms. The matching Linux CI pair passed
too. The original timeout remains unexplained and nonreproduced. No
timeout changed. The earlier stopped run was incomplete, and both
conflicting documentation additions are retained.
- CI chat 3/3 exposed a separate fixture assumption: restoration can
commit before a durable wake receipt exists. One known pre-receipt
delivery failure reproduces the same missing-run error. The corrected
fixture drives the existing worker until the exact canonical intent and
wake agree. It proves one real wake, one successor, exact source/actor
binding, and one restoration. The exact failed shard pair now passes
locally: 635 cases. Workspace typecheck also passes at test-only head
`94d691c9df61b05019b96900d5800a8f1c484e9a`. Production source is
unchanged from the previous verified build. That head completed all
registered checks: 53 successful, two neutral, three skipped, plus the
successful legacy status. Greptile scored 5/5. The subsequent Paperclip
4/5 persistence finding is addressed by the source repair above; its new
exact-head review is pending.
- Compatibility: 111 selected cases passed with #18895 head
`9b5d877161ffcbf16c0fb6920e8155a3620c85b0` in a disposable worktree. The
branch is now synchronized with master `4a83ba4050`, which includes that
change.
- Preserve the old CI failure: at head
`37954951fb66f3b50d0f2a3bec78d6993c479e87`, server shard 6/12 initially
failed the empty organization-audience replacement versus member-removal
assertion in `tool-access-service.test.ts`. The exact race family passed
on unchanged base and head; all 501 file tests and two 30-case controls
passed on base. The one Linux replay passed 119 files and 2,833 cases,
with three skipped. No guard or assertion changed. The initial failure
remains unexplained and nonreproduced; this PR does not claim to fix it.
- The prior external Superagent scan could not start because its
Security Graph returned HTTP 503. Its neutral check was not a completed
security assessment.
- These tests exercise the real Express route, PostgreSQL transactions,
and heartbeat queue. External chat transport is a fixture. They do not
run a live model or prove recovery of an original hosted task.

## Risks

- A still-pending source authorization wait fails after its fixed
60-second contention deadline. A completed wait is saved, but new
contention keeps the original deadline. A healthy lock can exceed that
limit. Other delivery errors retain the eight-attempt budget. Current
authority checks remain required before admission. Inspection does not
reset either limit.
- The new pending phase must never be treated as an authorized chat
source. Normal authorization rejects it until the worker prepares and
binds the exact source.
- The task projection reads the existing linked outbox deadline. It adds
a scoped join and does not create a timer or change a business deadline.
- No schema migration, provider identity change, or new delivery queue
is included.

DottaandPaperclip c5251b4c0e fix(chat): retry fully recorded setup failures before dispatch (#18882)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Connected tasks retain their exact external request across failures.
> - Task Retry must preserve that request and prove that old execution
cannot continue.
> - A workspace setup failure can settle before any provider dispatch.
> - The chat retry guard accepted one specific validation failure but
rejected other fully recorded setup failures.
> - This pull request reuses the same strict server settlement proof for
those failures.
> - The benefit is one safe continuation through the existing queue,
with all source and execution gates intact.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18803, #18845, #18852, #18853 and #18860. These changes preserve
workspace writers, bind completed preservation, or repair other
preparation and native continuation paths. This change repairs the
separate connected-chat guard for fully recorded legacy setup failures.
Search also found #18876, which repairs issue scope during deferred wake
promotion and does not repair this guard.

**What happened?**

A connected task failed during workspace reservation before provider
dispatch. Its source remained authorized. Task Retry saved an intent and
chat action, but the chat worker rejected that request as
`failed_chat_retry_not_authorized`. No successor was created. The old
failure had a bootstrap marker, a dispatch-only Runner profile, the
matching server error and durable measured settlement events, and no
runtime, process, output, result or environment lease.

**Expected behavior**

A deliberate board Retry can continue the exact saved input after the
complete never-dispatched proof passes. An unfinished earlier writer,
changed source, accepted result or unknown execution state must still
prevent execution.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Admit an authorized request through a restricted chat endpoint.
2. Settle setup before provider dispatch, for example while an earlier
workspace writer is unfinished.
3. Keep the exact server error and durable measurement events, a
dispatch-only Runner profile, and no execution resources.
4. Press task Retry after the independent writer and ordinary admission
gates permit work.
5. The original guard saves the Retry action but refuses to create a
successor.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on master at `a00109aa35`. The branch is rebased on current
master.

**Deployment mode**

Hosted task diagnosis. Local proof uses real Express HTTP routes, chat
authorization, heartbeat queue admission and disposable embedded
PostgreSQL on macOS arm64, Node 26.4.0. Provider work is deliberately
prevented by occupied fixture capacity.

## What Changed

- Extend only canonical task Retry's existing strict pre-provider
preparation proof to generic server-settled setup failures.
- Keep exact result shape, dispatch profile, controller, runtime,
process, output, event and resource checks. No diagnostic message
allowlist is added.
- Exercise GitHub and Telegram HTTP Retry with the original sender and
saved input. Keep the failed run unchanged and create at most one queued
successor.
- Cover provider events, retained native state/results, modified source,
unknown result metadata, live controllers, process identity, source
leases and an independent unfinished writer.
- Document the guarded contract and correct the obsolete access-map
sentence. No new endpoint or agent permission is added.

## Verification

- Red before repair: both setup causes failed through the real
HTTP/chat/queue path because the durable Retry had no successor. An
initial retained-native negative fixture had an invalid foreign-key
setup; that fixture was corrected before the final run.
- Green: 37 focused integration cases pass, including 22 new
GitHub/Telegram cases and 15 existing pre-provider source and execution
guards.
- Current head `1bf69d20e02a049248ec378f087505563daeb9a0`: all 37
focused integration cases and full repository `pnpm -r typecheck` pass
after the master rebase. The full `pnpm build` also passes.
- Map structure, module boundaries and `git diff --check` pass.
- Full local `pnpm test:run` is running; all six chat shards passed and
the remaining server suites are progressing. This is not a full-suite
pass claim.
- Greptile and Paperclip Review both reviewed this exact head at 5/5
with no actionable findings or review threads.
- Initial CI passed all jobs except the unchanged Runner package suite.
Its `runtime-host.test.ts` approve-reads case failed before its intended
assertions because a managed credential home could not acquire its
loopback-port quorum. The exact case passes locally. A wider 121-case
check hit the same lease error in a different Pi case (120 passed); all
121 pass with one worker. The exact competing port owner is unknown. One
unchanged retry of only failed CI jobs passed, including the Runner
package suite and aggregate `ci / verify`. All current-head required CI
gates are green; the original failure remains in workflow history.
- The dependency setup initially missed the embedded PostgreSQL
package's dylib symlinks. Running its own postinstall helper fixed the
local setup before assertions. This was not a product test failure.
- This change has not been deployed. The original hosted task has not
been replayed with the fix.

## Risks

- Never-dispatched proof must remain strict. A bootstrap marker or empty
process fields alone cannot authorize continuation. The regression cases
retain contrary-state holds.
- The inherited session display hint remains history and supplies no
resume authority.
- Current connection, principal, source integrity, pause, budget,
approval, dependency and workspace-owner gates remain in their existing
owners.
- No schema, provider profile, trust policy, model or credential
permission changes are required.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, code editing, tool use and
PostgreSQL/browser verification. This session does not expose a more
specific deployment model ID or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip d8c1b9d4b5 fix(runtime): reclaim failed remote checkpoint retries (#18877)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native recovery must preserve the original execution and provider
state.
> - A failed remote run can retain its provider PID after heartbeat
releases the task execution lock.
> - Normal resumption excludes that PID, while restart recovery rejects
the released lock.
> - Recovery must reclaim that exact execution only after current
admission and durable ownership checks pass.
> - Failed retries and admission holds need separate finite budgets.
Neither can prove a provider stopped.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A failed remote native run remains in retryable failure without a task
execution owner. Normal resumption and restart recovery both reject it
before inspecting the preserved remote provider. The current remote
workspace reference format also misses the due-retry routing path.

**Expected behavior**

A due exact-checkpoint retry reclaims its original task execution only
when current ownership and safety gates permit it. Newer task input
prevents an old claim. Lost or ambiguous provider state still prevents
replay or replacement. Ineligible recovery eventually becomes a quiet
manual reconciliation obligation.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a remote native run and persist its provider checkpoint and
encrypted Runner authority.
2. Fail with exact-checkpoint recovery and a retained remote PID.
3. Release the task execution lock at heartbeat completion.
4. Run ordinary resumption and restart recovery after the retry
deadline.
5. Observe that both reject the same eligible run before remote
inspection.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced from source at `d59791828482`; integrated with upstream
`db9be4c5a6`.

**Deployment mode**

Remote workspaces with PostgreSQL. Local regressions use disposable
PostgreSQL and encrypted checkpoint persistence.

Related public repairs #18846, #18854, #18860 and #18841 cover finished
per-turn owners, pre-provider failures, unstarted follow-ups and storage
migration. They do not reclaim this failed run's released execution
lock. Merged #18879 also adds scheduled-resume lock retention and
reclaim. This PR keeps that compatibility and requires encrypted Runner
authority, canonical source ordering and a charged failed retry before
reclaim. Its scheduled-resume regression now uses a real encrypted
authority and retains a snapshot-only refusal control.

## What Changed

- Share normal admission checks and one guarded execution-binding
restore/event helper between normal and remote resumption.
- Keep agent-name normalization in a module with no imports. Preserve
heartbeat's existing export. Native admission no longer loads heartbeat
orchestration for a string key.
- Recheck company, assignment, agent eligibility, Stop, pause, approval,
dependencies, execution and checkout ownership before reclaim.
- Reject newer task input using PostgreSQL creation-time and ID
ordering, preserving timestamp precision.
- Require the recorded remote target, encrypted Runner authority, exact
checkpoint identity and existing controller fence.
- Commit task binding, controller lease, run status and recovery event
atomically. Recognize both remote workspace reference formats.
- Charge failed reattachments against the existing
three-provider-attempt budget, including retained-lock crash windows.
Active controller adoption preserves its charged attempt.
- Use the existing five-retry/30-minute system-recovery policy for
admission holds. Ended tasks and newer sources exhaust it immediately.
Preserve PID, checkpoint and task bindings, suppress resource
settlement, and assign manual reconciliation with executor stop/state
explicitly unverified.
- Register recovery intent before deadline writes; preserve live/future
deadlines quietly and roll back zero-row writes. Record changed hold
reasons once and terminal dispositions separately.
- Keep historical provider-budget exhaustion behind current
admission/source/controller/authority checks. Make an existing
orphan-cleanup fixture explicitly due.
- Include exact plugin task leases that have no workspace reference.
Reuse every reclaim and retry-budget guard, with a bounded
company/task/run lease projection.
- Share strict manual ownership proof across stale-lock cleanup,
adoption, queue release and wake admission. Require termination receipts
for every exact remote lease before normal cleanup can release either
binding.
- Preserve governing Stop through the existing audited cancellation
path. Its acknowledgement does not release an unverified provider.
Ordinary Retry can wait for exact Stop and file preservation, then queue
one continuation.

## Verification

- Current head is `5d7baf74aa89d00d7ac6e1493d38a6ce2ae7b7b5`. Its
[current CI
matrix](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41782198858)
is terminal and clean: 54 successful, three skipped and two neutral
contexts. Required `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e` pass. Greptile is 5/5 on
this exact head with no open findings. No fresh Paperclip 5/5 assessment
is claimed.
- The [prior complete CI
matrix](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41754365388)
passed on `3e641466d3edcaa6dd5021d979627082d388eb05`, with Greptile and
Paperclip both 5/5 and no open threads.
- All 233 tests across the six affected heartbeat, restart-isolation,
remote-admission, scheduled-resume and session-binding families pass on
production-identical `a5104fa89f9cb493091e000bf21ed3858871ae46` under
Node 24.22.2 and pnpm 9.15.4. They cover both workspace formats and
plugin task leases, competing controllers, exact rollback, Stop,
assignment/company boundaries, attempts, work-intent ordering, finite
backoff and quiet held state.
- The merge preserves #18931's per-run audit-failure isolation and this
PR's unchanged-transition hold. Two initial composition cases failed
because their setup or expected result described the older contract. The
rollback test now expects the exact per-run deferral while retaining
full coordinator equality and no work intent. The routine fixture writes
a real encrypted checkpoint through the normal owner before reaching the
actual routine unique constraint. No production admission guard or
rollback assertion was weakened. A separate agent reviewed this exact
merge and fixture delta without finding a blocker.
- Full recursive `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass on production
merge `89c616fe45ceff75db450f67fd34224b4df7441d`. Subsequent commits
change only three test files. Both the two-file `a5104fa` and final
`5d7baf` server test-layer typechecks pass.
- Four production-identical `a5104fa` probes pass with the rebuilt
actual Rust Runner, a scripted ACPX subprocess and encrypted PostgreSQL
checkpoints under Node 24.22.2. Workspace-reference and plugin-lease
admission each cover surviving and lost providers. Replacement preserves
one provider launch, one original side effect, the charged attempt and
restored task execution binding. Lost providers reject snapshot recovery
without replacement. This is protocol-boundary evidence, not a live
Claude or hosted provisioning claim.
- Initial `a5104fa` CI found one additional routine integration fixture
missing the persisted `exact_checkpoint_resume` mode. Its encrypted
checkpoint was already present. The exact case fails locally before
repair and passes after recording that mode and expecting the charged
provider attempt. Every exact routine conflict, rollback, checkpoint,
task binding, successor-count and sibling-startup assertion remains.
Final head changes only that fixture. The correct native-server group
passes all nine files: 175 executed cases and 14 container-only skips,
matching the now-successful native-server CI gate.
- The earlier canonical HTTP Retry acceptance passed on the prior
reviewed head with real PostgreSQL, the recovery worker and real files.
Pending Stop protects both bindings and starts no successor. Exact
termination and copyback queue one preserved-workspace continuation. No
browser or live-model outcome is inferred from that test.
- The predecessor's full local `pnpm test:run` failed in an unchanged
Discord Gateway fixture with a 200 ms lease and a 422 initial ownership
error. Focused predecessor and untouched-base controls pass; that
full-run cause remains unproved. The required command was also started
on production-identical `a5104fa`. All six local chat shards passed,
covering 1,850 cases. The duplicate local invocation was interrupted
with SIGINT while the general-server group was still running after this
head's complete CI and the combined repair qualification had passed. The
wrapper exited 1 on cancellation, no process retained its test log, and
no full local pass is claimed. An earlier attempt to select the native
lane through the CI wrapper instead selected local package sharding:
2,631 cases passed and 13 failed. Those separate failures are retained
without causal attribution or unrelated source changes; that run is not
counted as native-server qualification. The direct native group and
current complete CI matrix pass.
- Live Claude Opus 5.5 continuation, hosted plugin provisioning,
deployment and recovery of historical tasks remain unverified. No
original task was retried or mutated for this verification.

## Risks

- Restoring a task binding grants remote inspection; it does not prove
that the provider survived.
- Unknown effects, lost providers and missing semantic results retain
their existing reconciliation requirements.
- Exhausted admission holds preserve execution bindings and resource
evidence for manual reconciliation. They do not authorize a fresh
executor or provider/resource release.
- The source guard is conservative: newer task input prevents recovery
of an older failed source.
- No database migration or provider profile change is required.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, tool use, code editing and
shell execution. The runtime does not expose the exact model snapshot or
context window size.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

**Paperclip version or commit**

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

**Deployment mode**

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 1a39dea9aa fix(heartbeat): keep a routine claim queued while its slot is held (#18933)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A routine creates one task per tick. Only one open task of a routine
can hold an execution lock (`issues_open_routine_execution_uq`).
> - Since #18879, a failed native run that waits for a scheduled resume
keeps its task's lock. Routine dispatch counts only queued, running or
scheduled runs as live, so it can queue a newer task of the same routine
meanwhile.
> - When that newer run is claimed, stamping its execution lock violates
the unique index. The raw database error is not a deferrable claim
rejection, so it escapes the queue loop. The queue code notes that this
can stop the agent's queue and startup recovery.
> - This pull request turns that exact violation into a 409 claim
rejection, so the run stays queued until the slot is free.
> - The benefit is that a busy routine slot delays one run instead of
stopping the queue or startup.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18879 (keeps a failed run's lock while its resume is pending),
#18916 (defers the same unique-index conflict in restart recovery's lock
reclaim) and #18931 (open; keeps one run's restart-recovery failure from
stopping startup recovery). This is the same index conflict on a
different path: the heartbeat queue claim, not restart recovery. It does
not change #18916 or #18931. Its doc paragraph is separate from the one
#18931 edits.

**What happened?**

While auditing the lock paths from #18879 for this index, I found that a
queued run of a newer routine task can be claimed while an older task of
the same routine still holds the slot through a failed run with a
pending resume. The claim's lock stamp then raises `duplicate key value
violates unique constraint "issues_open_routine_execution_uq"`.
`isDeferrableClaimRejection` accepts only `HttpError` 4xx, so the error
escapes `startNextQueuedRunForAgent`.

**Expected behavior**

The claim is rejected as a conflict and rolls back. The run stays queued
and is claimed after the older task releases the slot. Other errors
behave as before.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create two open tasks of the same routine (same origin and
fingerprint).
2. Give the older task an execution lock held by a failed run.
3. Queue a run for the newer task and claim it. On `master` the claim
throws the unique violation.

The new queue test runs these steps against PostgreSQL.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `0dedbf23c35`.

**Deployment mode**

Any server with routines whose tasks run on native runners.

## What Changed

- `bindClaimedIssueExecution` in
`server/src/services/heartbeat/queue.ts`: if stamping the execution lock
violates `issues_open_routine_execution_uq`, it throws
`conflict("Another execution for this routine is already in progress")`.
The claim transaction rolls back, and the queue loop keeps the run
queued as it does for other 4xx claim rejections. Every other error is
rethrown unchanged. The issue checkout route already maps this violation
to the same 409.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: one paragraph on the behavior.

## Verification

- Failing first: `queue.test.ts` "keeps a claim queued while another
task of its routine holds the execution slot". On `master` the claim
raised the `issues_open_routine_execution_uq` violation. Now it rejects
with 409, the run stays `queued`, neither task's lock changes, and
nothing executes.
- Failing first, review round 1:
`heartbeat-queued-run-claim-isolation.test.ts` "keeps a routine run
queued while another task holds the routine slot, then runs it once the
slot is free" goes through `resumeQueuedRuns`. On `master` it rejected
with the unique violation. Now the routine run stays queued with no
error code while another queued run for the same agent executes. After
the slot is released, the routine run executes exactly once (executions
are counted per run, because the finished task can queue its own
follow-up run).
- `cd server && npx vitest run src/services/heartbeat/queue.test.ts
src/__tests__/heartbeat-queued-run-claim-isolation.test.ts`: 70 passed.
- `npx vitest run src/services/heartbeat/recovery.test.ts
src/__tests__/routines*.test.ts`: 4 files, 205 passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`: pass.
- Not verified: the queue loop end to end on a real instance. The loop's
handling of a 4xx claim rejection is existing behavior.

## Risks

- While the older task holds the slot, the newer run stays queued and
the loop logs "queued heartbeat run claim was rejected" on each pass. It
is claimed once the older task's resume finishes or its lock is
released.
- Only this one constraint is mapped. Other database errors still escape
as before.
- No schema migration.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 652cd76026 fix(ui): expose Stop for failed native retries (#18899)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents and their tasks.
> - A native run can fail while it still owns a same-run retry.
> - The server supports Stop for that pending execution.
> - Run details show Cancel only for queued or running records.
> - A failed pending retry therefore has no ordinary cleanup control.
> - This pull request exposes the existing Stop eligibility and uses the
existing cancellation endpoint.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #14743 and #14733 for correlated native Stop. Those changes cover
backend cancellation and protocol qualification. They do not add the
failed-run control to run details. Searches of current master and open
PRs found no matching UI repair.

**What happened?**

A native run can show failed while its coordinator still owns a
retryable failure with no accepted result. The backend can cancel that
retry. Both run-detail implementations hide the cancellation button
because the record is terminal.

**Expected behavior**

The selected run offers Stop when the server confirms that pending
native retry. Unknown, legacy, terminal and accepted-result states do
not gain this control. Existing queued and running cancellation stays
available.

**Steps to reproduce**

Render either run-detail implementation for a failed native run with an
eligible retry. The original UI has no Stop button. The original batched
execution projection has no eligibility field. The regression tests
exercise both real components and the actual PostgreSQL projection
query.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The missing control and projection field were reproduced on
44a4ca1c61. Fresh master 8fd917aedf has
identical affected production blobs before this repair.

**Deployment mode**

Board run details for a native Runner task. Local verification uses
rendered React components and PostgreSQL. No hosted task mutation or
provider retry was performed.

## What Changed

- Add optional `execution.canStop` to the existing batched projection.
Read the matching retryable coordinator and absence of an accepted
result. The cancellation endpoint remains the authority owner. Add no
database queries.
- Exclude Grok failed retries from the new hint and both consumers. The
existing Grok Stop endpoint cannot accept a failed retry before
assignment. Keep this limitation explicit and preserve its active-work
authority checks.
- Show Stop for eligible failed runs in both run-detail consumers. Keep
the existing cancellation endpoint and its company, actor and row-lock
checks.
- Use the existing request-correlation contract for failed-native Stop.
Persist one scoped identity before sending and recover it after remount
or reload. Read a matching canonical claim only for the same board
actor, company and run. Use the existing UUID fallback on ordinary HTTP.
Never retry Stop automatically. Refresh the selected run and history
after either outcome.
- Report a stale conflict or a true no-op200 response. Accept a matching
durable pending cancellation intent without requiring terminal
acknowledgement. Keep running, queued and Grok calls unchanged.
- Add actual rendered interaction tests, real batched-query controls and
a short execution contract. Keep maps unchanged for this bug fix.

## Verification

- Untouched UI and real Postgres producer reds cover missing Stop and
missing eligibility. A valid Grok review found an unsupported failed-run
action; actual broker, projection and rendered controls reproduce it
before exclusion. No backend authority was expanded.
- The original60-case focused suite passed, including26 rendered cases,
the batched producer, and actual Grok broker/assignment fences. The
related57-case scope passed before the Grok correction; it is not
presented as final-head proof.
- A fresh native4/5 review found a stale200 no-op. Both actual rendered
consumers failed that new assertion. The real authenticated
HTTP/Postgres fixture proves `canStop=true`, coordinator revocation,
uncorrelated unchanged200 with a cancellation activity, and existing
correlated409 with no new activity or run mutation.
- The correlated repair passed82 affected cases before master
reconciliation. Exact `74c60c9ffe11c05bc85f3d0fa5a136f7e9d445cd`
passed80 rendered/API, HTTP and native-correlation cases. The render
scope verifies request bodies, stable identity after an unknown outcome,
no-op200 error, pending intent acceptance, wrong-run/request denial and
existing active/Grok behavior.
- Subsequent current-head reviews found remount identity loss and
unavailable `crypto.randomUUID` on ordinary HTTP. The corrected helper
passed 52 rendered cases across both consumers, including an unknown
response, initial scoped storage persistence, a prior browser record
with a unique never-mounted run identity, exact ID reuse, canonical
claim recovery, actor switch, wrong run and HTTP UUID fallback. A real
local-board identity mismatch was reproduced with two additional reds
before using the actual server-projected actor ID.
- Real authenticated HTTP and existing native-correlation suites passed
45 cases for canonical claim recovery and actor fences. Production UI,
server and vendored Runner builds and all server/UI type layers passed
at the prior reviewed helper head; exact final
`e0f723b1c86f1529029bf141943323764de28c22` UI types, token gates and
production build passed.
- Fixture failures are retained separately: a missing local SDK build
dependency, and a missing coordinator FK teardown in the new HTTP
fixture. Neither is a behavior red. Both fixtures were corrected and the
affected tests passed.
- Previous-head3d CI required one diagnostic rerun after a Runner
shutdown and a real account-list migration assertion. Two
untouched157-test runs did not reproduce the assertion. Complete
original row equality is unavailable. The assertion remains unresolved;
no test was sorted, skipped or changed to green CI.
- Previous-headf12 CI lost eight child runners. Its one authorized
failed-job retry also lost e2e5 to an explicit shutdown. No second retry
was issued. Those failures remain recorded. Current-head CI and both
substantive reviews are required; older checks and grades are not
credited.
- Previous-head74c CI found a real monitor scheduler timeout. An
untouched local replay and diagnostic-only replay reproduced it: the
original manual-monitor run was still running at the unchanged
three-second deadline. The cause remains unresolved; temporary
diagnostics were removed, and no assertion, timeout or production
monitor policy was changed. No CI retry was issued.
- Exact local `906af5c942ee0963eb4b64552160b57a18bcd2d1` integrates
normal master after #18930 merged. All reviewed Stop production and test
blobs remain unchanged from `e0f723b1c86f1529029bf141943323764de28c22`.
The four rendered, projection, HTTP and correlation files passed 99
cases after integration. All UI/server type layers, token gates and
production UI/server/Runner builds passed at that exact head; the server
build stamp records it.
- Previous-head e0 CI reported a Discord ownership error. That original
failure is preserved. Separate #18930 proves and repairs receiver
construction/renewal races with the same error; the original CI
scheduling order remains unproved. This branch now contains that
ordinary master merge and requires fresh CI rather than rerunning the
old failed attempt.
- Full repository checks were not run locally for this narrow slice. No
hosted task, provider execution or Stop receipt was created by this
work.

## Risks

Grok failed retries remain unsupported by this UI change. The existing
Grok running and queued Stop action, revoke path and assignment fences
are unchanged. A valid initial review caught the overbroad hint; actual
broker, projection and rendered regressions reproduce it before
correction. No backend cancellation authority was widened.

The optional hint can become stale. It grants no permission. The
existing cancellation path rechecks current authority and can reject the
request. Run details show that rejection. Older servers omit the hint,
so failed runs keep their existing behavior until the server updates. No
retry, task hold, accepted-result decision or provider receipt is
changed.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol (`gpt-6.1-sol`) in Codex, with source editing,
terminal execution and tool use. The host did not report its
context-window size.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 6c7b136b16 fix(native): keep startup recovery running when one run's claim fails (#18931)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - At startup, the server runs native restart recovery before it
reports ready. Recovery claims each interrupted or retryable native run
in its own transaction.
> - On one instance, one run's claim hit the routine execution unique
index. The error escaped restart recovery, startup recovery failed
closed, health stayed "still starting", and two deploys rolled back.
> - #18916 fixed that exact conflict: it defers the run when its claim
hits `issues_open_routine_execution_uq`. Any other error in one run's
claim still aborts the whole pass, and so does a failed per-run audit
write.
> - This pull request handles every per-run claim failure the way #18916
handles the routine conflict, and keeps a failed audit write from
stopping committed claims.
> - The benefit is that one bad row cannot keep the server from becoming
ready, and no run is claimed or changed when its claim fails.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18916. This change generalizes its catch: #18916 keeps the
routine-conflict disposition (`routine_execution_busy`) exactly as it
is, and this change adds a separate reason for any other per-run
failure. It does not change how the routine conflict is detected or
deferred. Refs #18879, whose lock reclaim exposed the startup failure.
Refs #18877 (open), which edits other parts of the same files. This
change touches only the claim's error path and the audit loop, so a
second merge needs at most a small rebase.

**What happened?**

Two deploys never became healthy. About 25 seconds after the listener
bound, the boot log showed `startup native runner restart recovery
failed closed` and `startup heartbeat recovery failed`, both from a
failed `update "issues" set "execution_run_id" = ...` that violated
`issues_open_routine_execution_uq`. #18916 now defers that violation.
Any other error in one run's claim (another constraint, a trigger, a
timeout) still escapes `claimNativeRestartRecoveries` and fails startup
the same way. #18916's own test asserts this: "Other database failures
still fail the recovery pass."

**Expected behavior**

One run's recovery failure is logged and recorded on that run, and the
rest of startup recovery continues. The server becomes ready. Only a
failure of the candidate scan itself fails the pass.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a native run that is due for restart recovery, and make its
claim fail (the new test uses a trigger on `native_run_finalizations`).
2. Add a healthy run that is due for restart recovery.
3. Run restart recovery for both. On `master` the batch throws and the
healthy run is not claimed.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `4a83ba4050f`.

**Deployment mode**

Any server that runs startup native restart recovery.

## What Changed

- `claimNativeRestartRecoveries`: #18916's `.catch` on each candidate's
claim transaction no longer rethrows other errors. The whole claim has
rolled back, so the run's state is unchanged and nothing is claimed. The
run gets `awaiting_evidence` with the same 30-second retry deadline. The
reason stays `routine_execution_busy` for the routine slot conflict, and
is the new `restart_recovery_failed` for any other error, which is
logged at error level. The batch continues.
- `recoverNativeRunsAfterRestart`: records a `restart_recovery_failed`
deferral as a warning transition on the run ("Native restart recovery
failed for this run and will retry"). A failed `getRun` or transition
write is logged and no longer stops the dispatch of claims that already
committed.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: replaces "Other database failures still
fail the recovery pass" with the per-run rule.

## Verification

- Failing first: `native-restart-recovery-isolation.test.ts` (new,
PostgreSQL). It seeds the reported shape (two open tasks of one routine:
the older with a due scheduled resume and a cleared lock, the newer
holding the lock), a run whose claim fails through a trigger, and a
healthy run. On `master` the batch threw `injected recovery claim
failure`. Now the routine run is deferred with `routine_execution_busy`
and the failing run with `restart_recovery_failed`, and both keep their
coordinator, attempt and locks. The healthy run is claimed.
`recoverNativeRunsAfterRestart` completes and records an info transition
for the routine run and a warning transition for the failing run.
- Two existing tests expected the pass to reject on one run's failure:
#18916's unrelated-constraint test, and failed-workspace retention's
rollback test. They now expect the per-run deferral. Their rollback
checks (no claim, unchanged coordinator, lease, lock and recovery
actions) are unchanged, and the unrelated failure still does not become
a routine wait.
- `cd server && npx vitest run` over restart recovery (isolation,
integration, diskless, preparation), controller recovery, heartbeat
recovery, scheduled resume lock, failed-workspace recovery, startup
cleanup, native resumption, live recovery work, startup feedback export,
recovery deadlines, runtime selection, stop accounting, warm transition
restart, workspace reconstruction, remote workspace migration and
heartbeat process recovery: all pass except one.
`heartbeat-process-recovery` "redacts opaque environment-bound
credentials from Sentry diagnostics: result" fails the same way on
unmodified `master` on this host (a local environment value is
redacted).
- Review round 1: two `heartbeat/recovery.test.ts` cases make `getRun`
and then `appendRunEvent` fail for a deferred run while a committed
claim is in the same batch. Recovery completes and dispatches the claim
exactly once; the `appendRunEvent` case also checks the warning
transition. Both fail when the catches are removed. In one of four full
runs of that file, the unrelated orphan-cleanup case "reconstructs
missing native preservation during orphan cleanup without replay:
reuse_by_environment" failed; it passed alone and in the other three
full runs.
- After the rebase onto `4a83ba4050f`: the isolation and
failed-workspace recovery tests and `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server
typecheck` pass.
- Not verified: a deploy to a real instance.

## Risks

- A persistent per-run error now retries every 30 seconds and logs an
error each time, instead of stopping startup. The run stays unclaimed,
so ownership does not change.
- If the database fails for every candidate's claim, startup recovery
now completes with every run deferred, instead of failing closed. The
candidate scan still fails closed, and the deferred runs retry on their
deadlines.
- No schema migration.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip f211d44c00 fix(heartbeat): preserve queued coalesced comments at claim (#18913)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents and their work.
> - The wake queue records task comments before an agent starts.
> - A queued run can accept another comment through coalescing.
> - Claim rebuilds that run's input from its primary wake.
> - Coalescing updated the run and its receipt but left the primary
batch unchanged.
> - This change saves the accepted batch atomically in the owning
writer.
> - The benefit is complete input at claim without repeating old work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #18887 preserves offline queued turns. #13948 addresses
equivalent automatic wake deduplication. This change repairs the
accepted comment batch at the existing claim boundary.

**What happened?**

A queued run started with comment A. Admission accepted comment B, saved
`[A, B]` in the run context, and finished B's coalesced receipt. The
primary wake still held `[A]`. Actual claim rebuilt input from that wake
and dropped B.

**Expected behavior**

Claim must retain every accepted live comment in order. Stop, changed
source authority, deleted comments, and company boundaries must still
apply. Already claimed wakes must retain their existing recovery source.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Queue a task run whose primary wake has an authoritative comment
batch `[A]`.
2. Admit comment B through `createHeartbeatQueue.enqueueWakeup` and the
real Postgres admission writer.
3. Confirm that admission accepts `[A, B]` and records B's coalesced
receipt.
4. Claim the original queued run. Before this fix, the claimed input
contains only A.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The untouched producer regression fails on
`d7283e875772ca8c684dc86e471e6b48d543b7b1` with both process and native
Runner/Codex adapter selection. Provider execution is disabled in the
fixture.

## What Changed

- Save the accepted comment batch in the unclaimed primary wake, run
context, and coalesced receipt in one transaction.
- Lock the primary wake before the run. Recheck the expected run status
and same-company, same-agent and run bindings; apply the existing actor
equality fence only to durable receipts before mutation.
- Preserve incoming input as normal deferred work when the locked source
changed. Preserve receipt identity and actor fields.
- Preserve the original primary actor and trigger comment while updating
its accepted batch. Each incoming receipt retains its actual actor. Keep
claimed source payloads and legacy envelopes on their existing recovery
paths.
- Safely defer a same-named different agent without rewriting the
original agent's run, wake or receipt. Missing and foreign-company
targets remain rejected. Do not rebuild input from historical receipts.
- Add actual process/native producer, real database rollback, Stop,
deletion, foreign-source, and fallback controls. Update three direct
writer fixtures for the required expected-status contract.

## Verification

- The untouched process and native producer red on
`d7283e875772ca8c684dc86e471e6b48d543b7b1` loses accepted comment B at
actual claim. The initial incomplete mock is retained separately and
excluded from behavioral proof.
- Current process/native matrix: 22 passed, including mixed authors,
system primary, same-named different agents, changed status, claimed
sources, Stop, deletion and foreign-source boundaries. Queue, Postgres
admission and use-case suites passed 234 cases before the
source-preserving serializer follow-up; its 22 actual producer cases
passed again afterward.
- CI on the previous head found a real ordinary mixed-author
workspace-copyback regression. The earlier 13-case selection omitted
this test; that coverage gap is preserved. The first correction exposed
a second real source-provenance/copyback failure. After preserving the
primary trigger and actor while updating only its batch, the complete
workspace recovery file passed all 188 cases, including ordinary
mixed-author input and native copyback.
- Real HTTP queued-comment consumption, discard/reorder and Stop
boundaries: 101 passed before these review corrections. Existing chat
and Slack consumers each passed their selected real writer case.
- Previous-head CI also timed out in the CLI child-server startup
fixture and a ZIP transfer case. The full untouched transfer file passed
17 cases locally. Startup remains unclassified; its intentionally
reserved port is part of the fixture and is not diagnosed as the cause.
No CI retry was issued.
- An earlier queue run passed its 231 assertions but timed out during
teardown; its preserved replay passed all 60 queue cases. This is
distinct from the behavioral reds.
- Exact `ab59d944895774d89f950248e356e93af00f4832` server type layers
and production server/Runner build passed. The unchanged-default
serializer file passed all 11 cases. Current-head CI and both
substantive reviews remain required; previous grades and checks do not
qualify this head.
- No hosted task was retried or changed. Local tests do not establish
any hosted deferred event's cause, provider execution, native
acknowledgement, physical cleanup, or serving revision.

## Risks

- Admission now performs bounded row reads and locks for each coalesced
wake. It adds no idle scan or remote request. The existing task
transaction owns the operation; lock order follows queued claim.
- Claimed-wake recovery uses source identity. Its payload remains
unchanged, and the existing actual native copyback tests cover that
boundary.
- A source that changes before the lock can defer the new input. This
preserves work instead of consuming it into a stale run. No migration or
historical backfill is required.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol`, with reasoning, repository inspection, shell
execution, and test tools. The runtime does not report the
context-window size. A separate OpenAI coordinator reviewed the source.

DottaandPaperclip e2dc2cc0be fix(native): retire idle shared-sandbox ingress owners before dispatch (#18893)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents and their tasks.
> - Native tasks can share one reusable sandbox workspace.
> - A completed child can keep its provider process warm.
> - A parent has its own logical session, but the sandbox has one
ingress listener.
> - Retirement by task identity leaves the child's listener in place.
> - A new parent Runner then fails to bind that listener.
> - This pull request retires a proven idle physical owner before the
parent's distinct session starts.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #15353 and #17097 for listener configuration and warm transport
rotation. Refs #18682 for owned process retirement. #18860 repairs a
different resume-source failure. Searches found no existing repair for
retained warm sessions on different tasks that share the same physical
ingress allocation.

**What happened?**

A completed child and a later parent can use the same reusable sandbox.
Warm-session retirement compares logical task ownership. It does not
find the child's distinct task scope. The child keeps the fixed ingress
listener, and the parent's new process fails with
`runner_ingress_bind_conflict` / address already in use.

**Expected behavior**

A parent must start in its own logical session after the proven idle
prior listener closes. Active, foreign or unverified owners must remain
protected.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the `retires the completed child listener` cases in
`native-session-executor.test.ts`. The actual executor registers a warm
child. PostgreSQL holds its committed, accounted result and clean
expired lease. A distinct parent receives the same allocation and
current workspace writer. The provider boundary uses real TCP listeners.
The original executor reaches the second bind with the child still
listening and fails with EADDRINUSE. The changed executor waits for the
owned close, then starts the distinct parent session.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on ab2d2098a2. The branch
includes current master 44a4ca1c61 before this PR was opened.

**Deployment mode**

Native Runner with provider ingress on a reusable sandbox workspace.
Local regression uses real PostgreSQL and local TCP with a controlled
provider-process boundary. No hosted provider call was made.

## What Changed

- Keep physical ingress identity separate from logical task/session
ownership. Never attach the parent to the child's session.
- Reserve a physical allocation during local admission. Retire a
distinct warm owner only after canonical company, agent, workspace,
provider, allocation, lease, task and coordinator checks pass.
- Require the current remote workspace writer and location to match the
admitted run. Require the prior run to be committed and accounted, with
its original controller generation and a clean released or expired
lease.
- Use the existing close, checkpoint and stopped-file collection path.
Wait for close before parent dispatch, then recheck canonical authority
before staging files or calling the parent backend. Retain the entry
when close is uncertain.
- Add actual executor/PostgreSQL/TCP safety cases and document the
contract. Keep maps unchanged for this bug fix.

## Verification

- Untouched production at ab2d2098: actual executor + PostgreSQL + TCP
fails EADDRINUSE. Same positive case passes after the change.
- Final focused suite: 20 passed. It covers distinct parent session
identity; foreign company, allocation and workspace; active or
unaccounted owner; changed controller; reassignment; competing
lease/writer; stale allocation metadata; Stop before and after claim;
workspace-lock race; failed close that leaves the listener and accepted
result intact; and controller transfer, Stop or writer change during
awaited close. These last cases reject the stale parent before backend
invocation after the old listener closes.
- Untouched head3425acbe: transferring the incoming coordinator during
close still reaches the parent backend. The same actual
executor/PostgreSQL/TCP case passes after the post-close authority
check.
- Broader `native warm session supervision` suite: 160 passed. This run
preceded the final two-line logical-session collision guard; the final
20-case suite includes that guard.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`: all source and test
layers passed, including `src/__tests__`.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server build`: production server and
Runner build passed at current head572acfef79. The exact-head build
stamp is recorded.
- The provider/close boundary is controlled. The fixture seeds canonical
committed/accounted finalization data in PostgreSQL. These tests do not
claim a live model result, operator ACK, hosted PID-to-listener
identity, or recovery of a historical task.
- Full repository pnpm checks were not run locally for this server-only
slice. Required current-head CI and reviews are pending.

## Risks

The new retirement path can close a process from another task. It
requires the same canonical company, agent, allocation and workspace, a
current exclusive writer, and a completed idle owner. Missing or changed
evidence leaves admission blocked. Active owners, changed generations,
reassignment and cancellation remain fenced. A failed close retains the
owner and saved result.

This covers current-controller warm entries with recorded physical
identity. Historical processes outside the registry keep the existing
exact-owner recovery requirements. No port shuffle, port kill, task
capability expansion, new polling loop or invented receipt is added.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol (`gpt-6.1-sol`) in Codex, with source editing,
terminal execution and tool use. The host did not report its
context-window size.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

**What happened?**

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

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

The new Rust and PostgreSQL tests run these steps.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `b0c4e345267`.

**Deployment mode**

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

## What Changed

### Root causes

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

### Runner (Rust)

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

### Runner (TypeScript)

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

### Server

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

### Safety argument for the re-bind

What the binding protects, and what this change keeps:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

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

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

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

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

## Risks

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

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

SDK runtime holds and the broader 196/244 qualification gate remain.
Normal protected merges require fresh checks and resolved feedback; no
CODEOWNER or branch-protection bypass is authorized here.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` through Codex. Capabilities used: repository
analysis, code changes, source validation, and local test execution. The

DottaandPaperclip 451d06e2fc fix: resume interrupted Runner preparation and confirm failure report delivery (#18853)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work.
> - The server owns run recovery and task continuation after a restart.
> - A shutdown can interrupt Runner preparation before any provider work starts.
> - Workspace recovery can save the files but leave that task behind a legacy execution hold.
> - Retry then accepts a request without starting a successor. Startup also leaves the task blocked.
> - This pull request verifies the interrupted preparation, preserves its files, and admits one bounded continuation.
> - It also keeps a dropped Sentry capture eligible for a later report.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A hosted task remained blocked after a graceful server shutdown interrupted Runner preparation. Its remote workspace was recovered. Retry returned an accepted request, but no successor started. Startup did not resume it. The task also had no matching Sentry event.

The recovery cause is verified. The exact cause of the missing historical Sentry event is unknown. A separate regression with the real Sentry SDK proves that processing backpressure can drop a capture while the task cache marks it as reported forever.

**Expected behavior**

Retry must continue eligible interrupted work from its saved workspace. Startup must schedule one bounded retry when durable evidence proves that no provider started. A later task read must be able to retry an unconfirmed Sentry report.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Interrupt Runner preparation during a server shutdown before native runtime selection.
2. Retain and recover its remote workspace under the legacy recovery hold.
3. Press Retry, or restart after file recovery has completed.
4. Observe that the task remains blocked without a successor.

For the reporting case, hold the first Sentry event in its asynchronous enrichment step. Fill the SDK processing buffer. Capture a second task failure, release the first event, and read the second failed task again later.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced against source commit `4d31588dea`. The hosted incident served `6ef37398c8d799c5142a3a6590ecc70ad352b663`.

**Deployment mode**

Hosted Linux server with remote workspaces and external PostgreSQL. Local regressions use the source checkout on macOS arm64, Node 26.4.0, PostgreSQL 17.10, and the audited optional Sentry SDK 10.71.0.

Related public changes: #18541 added task-state failure reports. #18678 retained remote exports before Retry. #18803 fenced remote workspace writers before continuation.

The small backend-port fixture correction follows #18739. It is included here because the same existing setup defect blocked CI.

## What Changed

- Verify pre-native shutdown interruption against the immutable adapter claim, controller ownership, run events, native records, stopped leases, and exact workspace recovery receipts.
- Retire only the server's unchanged bootstrap failure block. Admit explicit Retry through the existing continuation path.
- Discover completed workspace recovery at startup and schedule one retry under the existing failure budget. Let saved input own its continuation.
- Apply the existing safe replacement dispatch checks to preparation retries. A later human block, competing execution, dependency, pause, approval, or budget gate must still prevent dispatch.
- Keep execution evidence available through the bounded run projection.
- Confirm Sentry task-report delivery from a successful SDK HTTP response. Keep unconfirmed captures pending for 60 seconds before a later task read can retry them. Both caches remain bounded and start no timer.
- Document recovery and report delivery semantics.
- Align existing handoff/budget assertions with the guarded preparation retry reason. Keep the owned-runtime fixture outside reserved proxy ports, with bounded allocation attempts.

## Verification

- Red before the recovery fix: all three new Retry/startup cases failed because no successor was created. Green after the fix: all three passed with real saved workspace archives and PostgreSQL.
- The pre-merge revision passes all 384 tests in the six affected recovery, run-control, run-state, retry, and dispatch suites.
- The late-block regression failed before its repair. Its four focused recovery/dispatch cases then passed, including final dispatch cancellation.
- Review found a second stop check that still rejected verified local and lease-free preparation. Both new cases failed before that repair. All 17 interrupted-preparation regressions passed on the pre-merge revision.
- The Sentry regression failed with the real SDK before the fix. All 91 affected reporting tests then passed. The transport stays in memory. No test sends events to Sentry.
- Full repository typecheck passed with `node scripts/typecheck-low-memory.mjs`. The full `pnpm build` and module boundary check passed.
- CI found untyped delivery-hook parameters when the optional Sentry SDK was absent. Explicit callback types fix that build. The SDK-absent server build and all 91 SDK-present reporting tests pass.
- Server typecheck passes with the SDK installed and the real Sentry SDK contract CI job passes. Greptile reviewed the pre-merge commit `103e175c44` at 5/5 with no open findings.
- The local full-suite attempt initially overlapped the rebase and stopped at test-line selection. Its unchanged-head rerun passed the first 309-test chat shard. I stopped the old-head run before applying review fixes. Current-head CI owns the remaining full-suite verification.
- CI exposed two old retry-reason expectations. The handoff and retry-budget checks pass with the new guarded reason. A separate existing process-adoption fixture chose port 42953 in the reserved 42000–42999 proxy range. The fixture now rejects reserved ports, following #18739. Its real process/adoption/termination test passes locally.
- The final Runner package job [initially failed](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41718507919/job/126205912033) one unchanged Codex credential case after it could not acquire its port quorum, then timed out. The complete unchanged 42-case credential suite passes locally. One unchanged CI retry passed; the original competing port owner was not identified. No Runner implementation or credential test was changed.
- Required CI passes on `103e175c4490e1bdf804c64a8635b0e4568545ae`, including `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e`. That revision has Greptile 5/5 with no open findings. The optional Paperclip Review check on that earlier head remained queued, waiting for its assigned agent.
- Merged current `master` without replacing published commits. The retry gate retains both shutdown interruption checks and the new workspace preparation timeout policy. All 311 tests in the five combined recovery, retry scheduling, completion, and native startup suites passed after the conflict resolution. Server typecheck passed. Final head `005d380b00d45a2393c4a2a190eab27611168d3c` includes the next conflict-free master update. All 17 interrupted-preparation regressions passed again on that final head. Greptile reviewed that exact head at 5/5 with no new findings. Required CI passes on that exact head, including `ci / verify`, `ci / e2e`, typecheck, build, the full test shards, and the real Sentry SDK isolation check. The optional Paperclip Review remains queued, waiting for its assigned agent; it is not a required branch check.
- On the final head, six test jobs were cancelled after their spot runners received shutdown signals at the same time. Another server shard passed 2,419 tests, but its unchanged 103-record cleanup backlog case exceeded the 15-second limit. The unchanged full cleanup suite then passed all 29 tests locally. One unchanged retry of only the seven unsuccessful jobs passed. The [original cancellation and timeout logs](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41724898038/attempts/1) remain in the workflow history. No cleanup implementation or test was changed.
- The signed-in hosted UI reproduced the failed Retry before the fix. The fixed path is covered through the real HTTP Retry route and assembled heartbeat/recovery services. This PR has not been deployed to the hosted incident. A live repaired Retry remains unverified until rollout.

## Risks

- Automatic continuation must not repeat provider work. It requires positive preparation evidence and rejects retained provider, process-launch, coordinator, result, live-controller, unsafe lease, or mismatched workspace evidence.
- Repeated recovery calls must create one successor. Tests cover concurrent requests, repeated startup visits, pending Retry, retry exhaustion, and changed task ownership.
- Sentry delivery state stays local to the process. A restart or cache eviction can report a failure again. An unconfirmed event needs a later task read to retry.
- No schema or API contract changes are required.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex. This session does not expose a more specific deployment ID or context window size. Reasoning, code editing, test execution, and browser diagnostics assisted the change.

DottaandPaperclip 2920d88034 fix: preserve cancelled runs through native finalization (#18857)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents that do work.
> - Native runs can accept a result before workspace file finalization
ends.
> - A user can Stop the run while file finalization is still pending.
> - The direct finalizer replaced that cancelled run with the earlier
provider status.
> - The restart projection already preserves a cancelled run.
> - This pull request preserves cancellation in the direct projection
too.
> - Saved results and normal task decisions remain available.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

An accepted successful result can wait for workspace finalization. If
run-only Stop completes first, the run and its source wake become
cancelled. Late finalization then changed the run to succeeded, cleared
the cancellation error, and replaced its finish time. The wake remained
cancelled.

**Expected behavior**

Preserve the winning run cancellation, finish time, errors and audited
acknowledgement. Keep the accepted provider result and complete file
finalization. The server task arbiter still decides task status from the
accepted result. A valid result can finish the task even though the
execution was stopped.

**Steps to reproduce**

Accept a native result through the control-plane port. Hold an actual
workspace-finalization operation. Stop the run through the heartbeat
service with a board request identity. Release the operation and call
the direct finalizer. The new database regression exercises this
sequence.

Related work: #18804 settles exact claimed native wakes. This change
preserves a wake that Stop already cancelled. #15212 and #12301 address
the opposite race in legacy cancellation. They do not change this native
finalizer projection.

## What Changed

- Evaluate run status and errors against the current locked database
row. Preserve a cancelled run when a late accepted result finishes
finalization or when workspace/status-decision retries exhaust. Merge
finalization failure metadata into the current row so concurrent
receipts survive.
- Keep finalization receipts and accepted results. Preserve existing
server task-arbiter behavior and accounting fields.
- Add real database tests for successful and failed accepted results,
delayed workspace work, and Stop after the task decision but before run
projection.
- Check cancelled wakes, audited acknowledgement, no successor, restart
projection and idle recovery. Update execution documentation.

## Verification

- Before the production change, the actual producer sequence failed: the
cancelled run became succeeded, its error code became null, and its
finish time advanced. This failure remains saved privately.
- The focused projection, cancellation-request and Stop-accounting
suites pass all 67 tests. These include the same delayed-finalization
sequence, both task status orderings, and complete and late accounting
receipts without another provider turn.
- Independent review found a second terminal writer in retry exhaustion.
On the unchanged previous head, two real database cases changed a
cancelled run to failed or succeeded after workspace or status-decision
retries. A third case let actual board Stop win after the permanent
workspace failure admission snapshot and still changed cancelled to
failed. All three now pass. Existing uncancelled exhaustion controls
still pass. No mock supplied the canonical cancellation state.
- Initial review found that routine regression notes do not belong in
the feature maps. Both map additions were removed. Production and test
code are unchanged by that correction.
- Runner TypeScript build and all server typecheck layers pass. Map,
module-boundary and diff checks pass.
- An additional direct typecheck of the normally excluded projection
fixture reports two existing notification mocks whose transaction
parameter is typed as `object`. The same check with the previous test
file reports the same two errors. The new regression cases add no type
errors. The standard server typecheck remains green.
- The previous head passed required CI after one targeted retry of jobs
that received the same runner shutdown signal. Those original failures
remain recorded. The exhaustion correction passes fresh required CI on
exact head `84404d34b9d982d8bca24b63ae2046051f5169b8` (workflow
41726120483, attempt 1). Both required aggregate gates pass. Greptile
reviewed this head at 5/5 with no new comments; all review threads are
resolved. An independent source review found no blocking issue in the
correction. Runner TypeScript and all server typecheck layers pass
locally; the exact production server and Runner build passes with the
server stamp bound to `84404d34b9d982d8bca24b63ae2046051f5169b8`. The
full required CI workflow passes.
- This is local fixture evidence. It does not establish hosted recovery,
a remote provider stop, or a deployed version.

## Risks

- Accepted result finalization can still finish the task after run-only
Stop. This is existing server policy; cancelled run API write authority
stays revoked.
- The fix protects cancelled execution history. It does not invent
provider termination, saved-file or accounting proof.
- No schema, endpoint, retry budget, provider call or new background
worker changes.

## Model Used

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

Devin FoleyandPaperclip b0c4e34526 fix(native): resume from the owner after an unstarted failed follow-up (#18860)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native Runner sessions keep one conversation across task turns.
> - A follow-up turn resumes from the newest earlier run that holds a
provider checkpoint.
> - A follow-up can fail during admission, before provider work, and
still hold the checkpoint that it inherited.
> - A later Retry then resumes from that failed run. Controller recovery
finds no controller checkpoint there and fails.
> - This pull request makes resume source selection skip a failed
follow-up that proves that it never started provider work.
> - The benefit is that a board Retry resumes from the last committed
owner, and the task can continue.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18846, which lets a follow-up start after a recovered per-turn
owner. Refs #18854 (same-run retry of failures before provider work) and
#18718 (controller projection refresh).

**What happened?**

Run 1 was a per-turn remote sandbox run. Recovery committed its result,
but it saved no Runner suspension receipt. Run 2 was a follow-up that
was admitted before #18846. Admission failed with
`runner_state_identity_mismatch:
prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate`, before any provider work. Run
2 has these properties:

- Status `failed`, and the result has `executionRecovery: { kind:
"bootstrap", providerWorkStarted: false }`.
- The coordinator is `terminal_failure`, with no result, no lease owner,
and no controller process.
- No controller checkpoint rows and no controller recovery pointer.
- A `sessionCheckpoint` bound to run 2 with a null cursor. The provider
session in it is copied from run 1.

A board Retry then started run 3. Resume source selection treats any
checkpoint as a progress barrier, so it selected run 2. Controller
recovery then failed with
`native_controller_recovery_unsupported:metadata_format`, because run 2
has no controller recovery pointer. The task stayed blocked. Every later
Retry selects the newest failed follow-up and fails the same way.

**Expected behavior**

A Retry must resume from the last committed owner (run 1) when the newer
follow-up provably never started provider work. If the follow-up might
have started provider work, or holds its own controller evidence, it
must stay the source.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Commit a per-turn remote owner through recovery, without a suspension
receipt.
2. Admit a follow-up, and make its admission fail with
`prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate`.
3. Settle that follow-up as a failed bootstrap: `providerWorkStarted:
false`, `terminal_failure`, and no result.
4. Admit a Retry. It selects the failed follow-up and fails with
`native_controller_recovery_unsupported:metadata_format`.

The new regression test runs these steps against PostgreSQL.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `909d86b59a`.

**Deployment mode**

Native Runner with a per-turn lifecycle on the built-in remote sandbox
transport. Source selection is shared by all native providers.

## What Changed

- `findNativeSessionResumeRun` skips a newest barrier that is an
unstarted inherited follow-up and selects again without it. The selector
repeats this inside the existing 32-run window.
- A run is skipped only when all of these are true:
- It is a native run with status `failed` and a `bootstrap` receipt with
`providerWorkStarted: false`.
- Its coordinator is `terminal_failure`, with no result, lease owner, or
controller process.
- It has no process identity, provider event, controller checkpoint row,
run result row, or controller recovery pointer.
- Its checkpoint is bound to this run and session, and it has no cursor.
- After the skips, every skipped run must name the same backend, driver,
and provider session as the selected source. Otherwise the selector
returns the original barrier.
- Runtime selection and controller recovery both call this selector.
Both now use the committed owner. Admission then reaches the #18846
path, which retires the old authority and starts a new Runner.
- Add four cases to `native-recovered-owner-followup.test.ts`, with one
negative control for each guard.
- Document the rule in `doc/execution-semantics.md` and the test in
`doc/testing-native-remote-continuity.md`.

### Why source selection

- Source selection made the wrong choice. The failed follow-up has no
provider progress. Its checkpoint is a copy, and the provider never saw
its turn.
- One shared selector feeds runtime selection (checkpoint rebind,
previous turn, runner instance) and controller recovery. A fix in only
one of them would let them disagree about the source.
- Controller recovery keeps its rule: it never searches backward when
the selected run is incomplete. The selector skips a run only with
positive proof, so an incomplete run with any evidence of work still
stops recovery.
- A fix in the executor could not help. The executor sees only the
source that the selector gives it.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-recovered-owner-followup.test.ts`: 22
tests pass.
- Before the change, the two new retry tests failed with
`native_controller_recovery_unsupported:metadata_format`.
- After the change, the retry selects the committed owner and is
admitted. It is also admitted after two failed follow-ups.
- Eight controls keep the failed follow-up as the source: process
identity, provider event, controller checkpoint row, a receipt with
`providerWorkStarted: true`, a coordinator with a controller process, a
run result row, a different provider session, and a non-null cursor.
- I disabled each guard in turn. Each change made its matching control
fail.
- These suites pass: native session resume, resume projection,
controller recovery (unit and integration), native startup retry,
runtime selection, execution workspace service, native status corpus,
task workspace binding, and all 1,088 native executor tests. The
container and Runner binary cases skip locally.
- Server typecheck, `node scripts/typecheck-low-memory.mjs`, `pnpm
check:module-boundaries`, and `git diff --check` pass.
- I did not run the full `pnpm test:run`, `pnpm build`, or the opt-in
Linux Runner container cases locally. CI runs them.
- The tests start at the selector and executor admission. They do not
exercise the Retry route, the task retry queue, or a live sandbox
provider.

## Risks

- A wrong skip could resume from an older checkpoint. Each guard
requires positive evidence of no provider work. A skipped run must also
name the same provider session as the selected source. If any check
fails, the selector returns the original barrier.
- Only `failed` runs qualify. Cancelled, interrupted, and timed-out runs
keep their existing handling.
- The skip adds one proof query per candidate. It runs only when the
newest barrier is a failed native run whose checkpoint is bound to
itself and has no cursor.
- The rebind now uses the owner's tool-contract fingerprint. If the tool
contract changed since the owner ran, the Retry starts a new provider
session. The provider history in this failure mode is already
unavailable.
- No migration or configuration change is required.

## Model Used

- Anthropic Claude Opus 5.5 (model ID `claude-opus-5-5`) in Claude Code,
with extended thinking, repository tools, shell and code execution, and
local test runs. The runtime does not expose the context window size.

DottaandPaperclip 0a1e4c3d0f fix(workspaces): retry pristine remote setup timeouts (#18852)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A remote task needs a workspace before its model can start.
> - Fresh workspace preparation can reach its transport deadline.
> - Failure handling records that timeout as a generic setup failure and
stops the task.
> - An unpublished workspace has no saved task work to repeat.
> - This change routes that narrow failure through the existing bounded
retry scheduler.
> - Saved work, retained executions, and normal admission gates keep
their existing protection.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18827, which preserves remote timeout diagnostics. This change
builds on that merged repair. Related #16727 concerns controller-managed
clones and optional partial clones; this change keeps remote clone
contents and deadlines unchanged.

**What happened?**

A fresh remote workspace reached its 300-second command limit before
model execution. The task then stopped with `setup_failed` and no
scheduled continuation. A separate full clone completed in 137 seconds
on a disposable Daytona sandbox. The original delay remains unexplained.
This change repairs the missing recovery path; it does not claim to
remove the underlying delay.

**Expected behavior**

A fresh, unpublished workspace preparation timeout can use the existing
two automatic retries. Retry scheduling remains durable and company
scoped. Stop, pause, dependencies, budgets, task ownership, saved work,
and retained native execution must still prevent unsafe work.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start preparation for a fresh remote workspace with no saved version
or published allocation.
2. Make its initial directory/clone command return a transport timeout.
3. Observe that the base code records a generic setup failure without
bounded recovery.
4. With this change, the owner validates current workspace authority and
preserves a specific bootstrap failure for the normal retry scheduler.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Base: `e0276e0166`, including #18827.

**Deployment mode**

Native Paperclip Runner with sandbox workspace storage. Verification
uses real PostgreSQL, filesystem commands, and a separate live Daytona
transport probe.

## What Changed

- Recognize only the initial preparation timeout while the same company,
writer, and epoch still own a pristine workspace.
- Keep restore, additional repository, provisioning, save, changed
ownership, dirty workspace, and retained native execution failures
outside this recovery policy.
- Persist the typed failure before using the existing retry scheduler,
admission gates, and attempt budget.
- After successful terminal lease cleanup, reclaim an unpublished
bootstrap-only reservation even when a provider returns no stop receipt.
Preserve receipt requirements for saved/published work, unknown
execution, and native identities; do not synthesize termination
evidence.
- Prevent generic recovery from granting another budget after
exhaustion. Keep a specific recovery notice.
- Add regressions for persistence, concurrent scheduling, restart,
exhaustion, Stop, pause, dependencies, fresh allocation, lost replies,
and saved output after cold restoration.
- Document the recovery contract.

## Verification

- Red: the real-PostgreSQL workspace regression first failed because the
timeout had no recovery classification. The completion regression then
failed because it became `setup_failed`. A retained-native negative
failed before the admission guard. The review follow-up reproduced a
failed successor reservation after production lease release returned
void.
- Green: all 127 transport/archive/real-PostgreSQL workspace cases pass
after the review repair. All 12 receipt/void handoff cases pass against
the final query. The 141 complete completion/retry/recovery cases and
the fresh-allocation selection case pass. Safety cases cover concurrent
scheduling across restart, the two-attempt cap, Stop/pause/dependency
gates, native identities, saved/published files, active leases, failed
cleanup, and cold-restored output.
- `node scripts/typecheck-low-memory.mjs` and `pnpm build` pass at
`ba96cff771707415e4a5e893c8b3a97499ead25b`. `git diff --check` and the
module-boundary check pass. The full local test wrapper completed all
1,835 chat cases across six partitions, then was interrupted during its
serial general-server phase after the complete current-head CI suite
passed. Its interrupted run is not a full local-suite pass; its log is
retained. The owned process tree and database children exited.
- The [complete GitHub Actions
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41718108375)
is successful at this exact head, including all server/workspace/chat
partitions, all nine serialized groups, all eight browser shards, build,
typecheck, native Runner, package, Rust, and release-policy checks. The
first Rust worker shut down during cache restore before tests; one retry
passed without source changes. Expected Storybook skips remain skips.
- Earlier failures remain accounted for: the first typecheck found two
incomplete process-result fixtures, now corrected. An intermediate
completion run exposed a test double that returned no promise and a
teardown timeout; the complete 141-case suites subsequently passed. The
first-head CI had four worker shutdowns and one worker communication
loss. A three-second monitor settlement wait failed in CI and locally,
then all 21 cases passed unchanged at base and head. An earlier CI retry
found a real-process history adoption assertion failure; that exact case
passed locally at base and head. Both server groups pass in final-head
CI. These timing causes remain unknown. [Earlier CI
evidence](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41713712522).
- Live supporting evidence: unchanged production preparation code
completed a full repository clone in 137 seconds using Daytona SDK
0.203.0, Node 24.22.2, Git 2.39.5, and Linux x86_64, with 1 CPU, 1 GiB
memory, and 1 GiB disk. The approved diagnostic account could not access
the original fleet snapshot, so the probe used public
`node:24-bookworm`. Both probe allocations were deleted and absence
verified. Full task acceptance at the fixed revision remains unverified:
the original fleet snapshot and an explicitly configured disposable
Codex subscription fixture were unavailable. No CLI login or hosted
subscription was copied.
- Greptile is 5/5 at the final head with no actionable findings. The
Paperclip review finding is repaired, replied to, and resolved. The
separate **Paperclip Review** check remains queued. Its task failed
workspace export after publishing the first assessment; the staging
service was then observed showing a workspace recovery page after an
update failure. Subsequent browser rechecks timed out, including a fresh
tab, so the normal recovery control could not be used. Reconcile that
existing export after service access returns, then let the saved
current-head review request run. That external review is the remaining
check; this PR is not yet fully green.
- The original hosted task was last verified blocked. This PR has not
been deployed and the task has not been retried by this work.

Reviewers can run `pnpm test:run`, `node
scripts/typecheck-low-memory.mjs`, and `pnpm build`. The
remote-workspace integration suite additionally needs an owned
disposable PostgreSQL database named `remote_workspace_*test` through
`PAPERCLIP_REMOTE_WORKSPACE_TEST_DATABASE_URL`; otherwise that suite is
skipped.

## Risks

Each retry keeps the existing preparation deadline, so persistent slow
clones can consume the bounded budget before intervention. A retry
receives fresh allocation admission; it does not replay the command
against the old allocation. The workspace owner checks persisted
authority before classifying the failure, and normal admission still
rechecks that authority. Historical generic setup failures do not gain
automatic replay. No database migration, provider-pack update, model
fallback, credential change, or deployment is included.

## Model Used

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

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 909d86b59a fix(native): retry runs that fail before provider work (#18854)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native runs start the provider through Runner. `session.open` starts
the provider session before any prompt.
> - When `session.open` fails, the server records the generic
`native_session_interrupted`. Recovery evidence then reports
`ambiguous_state`, so the first failure blocks the task with no
automatic retry.
> - The failure is often temporary. On one instance an agent's provider
account hit its usage limit. For about 14 hours every later run failed
at `session.open`, and 47 tasks stayed blocked. Outside limit windows,
the same error also occurs once and a later retry succeeds.
> - The server already has a bounded same-run bootstrap retry for
failures that are proven to come before provider work. It did not
recognize this failure, and it did not consider a known provider limit.
> - This pull request classifies a definite `session.open` failure as a
pre-session failure. Bootstrap retries back off and wait out a known
provider limit. The task is blocked only after the shared budget is
used, with a clear reason.
> - The benefit is that a temporary startup failure or a provider limit
no longer strands tasks on the first failure, and every existing replay
guard stays in force.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18847. That pull request keeps the provider cause on
`session.open` rejections and names typed categories (for example
`classification=provider_rate_limit`). This change does not depend on
it. With #18847, a typed limit at `session.open` uses the same cooldown
path, because the server reads the cause with
`providerFailureFromError`. Refs #18622, which added the
`ProviderFailure` cause. Refs #13993, an open change about legacy
adapter startup backoff; it does not touch the native recovery path.

**What happened?**

A native run (`paperclip_runner`) failed at `session.open` before any
prompt: `ACPX sidecar command session.open was rejected
(retryable=false, classification=session_ensure_failed)`. The server
recorded `native_session_interrupted`. Recovery evidence had no
checkpoint and no provider event, but the cause was not in the
pre-session list, so the mode was `ambiguous_state`. The coordinator
went to `terminal_failure`, a board-owned `active_run_watchdog` action
was created, and the task was set to `blocked` on the first failure.
During a provider usage limit, every later run of the agent failed the
same way, so each task was blocked.

**Expected behavior**

A run that provably failed before provider work retries automatically,
with backoff and a bounded budget. If the agent has a known provider
limit, the retry waits for the cooldown. The task is blocked only when
the budget is used, and the recovery action explains why. A run where
provider work may have started is never replayed.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Make Runner reject `session.open` for a native run (for example a
provider at its usage limit).
2. Observe the coordinator: `terminal_failure`, `recoveryMode:
"ambiguous_state"`, `providerSessionEstablished: false`. The task is
`blocked`.
3. The new `native-startup-retry.integration.test.ts` reproduces this
with a real database and the executor.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `5877d751c0e`.

**Deployment mode**

Native Runner with an ACPX Claude provider. The fix is in the server and
is not specific to one deployment mode.

## What Changed

- `nativeSessionFailureSourceCode` returns a new cause,
`provider_session_open_rejected`, when Runner reports that
`session.open` failed or was rejected. Those outcomes are definite, and
the command runs before any prompt. An `indeterminate` outcome stays
`native_session_interrupted`. Earlier, more specific causes (for example
a missing runtime package) keep their classification.
- `nativeProviderRecoveryEvidence` treats the new cause as pre-session.
The durable evidence still decides. A bootstrap retry happens only with
no provider session, no provider event and no checkpoint. Otherwise the
mode stays `ambiguous_state` and the task is blocked as before.
- New module `native-runtime/native-startup-retry.ts` plans each
bootstrap retry. It is called only for `bootstrap_retry` mode.
- Backoff: the existing `infrastructureRetryDelayMs` (about 30 s, then
about 60 s, plus or minus 20 %). The jitter derives from the run and
attempt, and it is persisted with `nextAttemptAt`.
- Limit cooldown: evidence is a `rate_limit` or `quota_exhausted`
provider failure on the current failure (the #18847 shape), or on an
agent run that started in the last 24 hours. A
`native_provider_usage_limit` or `provider_quota` error code also
counts. The cooldown is the provider's `retryAt` (or `retryNotBefore`),
or one hour after the failure when no reset time is known. A later
successful run of the agent clears older evidence. The cooldown is
capped at 24 hours. The retry runs after the cooldown plus the backoff
delay.
- A failed evidence read is logged and falls back to plain backoff, so
it cannot stop the failure from settling.
- The budget does not change: three provider attempts, shared with
checkpoint resumes and replacements. When it is used, the coordinator
records `native_session_retry_exhausted`. The task is blocked, and the
board-owned action says: "Provider startup failed on 3 attempts before
any provider work began. Automatic retries are stopped." When a limit is
known, the message includes the expected reset time.
- While a retry waits, the coordinator detail, the recovery action
evidence and the scheduled wake record `providerCooldownAt`. The next
action names the reset time, and the task projection shows "Retry
scheduled".
- `PROVIDER_LIMIT_DEFAULT_COOLDOWN_MS` (one hour) moves to
`system-recovery-state.ts`. The legacy provider-quota recovery default
now refers to it. The value does not change.
- A chat retry of an exhausted `provider_session_open_rejected` run is
accepted like the other pre-provider causes. The existing proofs still
apply.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md` describes the backoff, the cooldown and
the exhausted state.

## Verification

- Red: before the fix, the first new integration case failed. The
coordinator was `terminal_failure` with `recoveryMode:
"ambiguous_state"`, `originalFailureCode: "native_session_interrupted"`
and `providerSessionEstablished: false`, and the task was `blocked`.
Four more cases failed the same way. The two never-retry cases passed
before and after the fix.
- Green: `npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-startup-retry.integration.test.ts` in
`server` (embedded PostgreSQL, the real executor, and the real resume
claim). 8 cases pass:
- a rejected `session.open` is retried with backoff (attempt 1 in 24 to
36 s, attempt 2 in 48 to 72 s), and the task stays `in_progress` with an
agent-owned action and a `resume_native_run` wake;
- after three attempts the task is blocked, the action is board-owned
with the clear reason, and the resume claim refuses another attempt;
- a recent limit failure holds the retry until one hour after that
failure, and the claim refuses it before the cooldown;
- a provider reset time from an earlier run, or from the startup failure
itself, sets the cooldown;
  - a distant reset time holds the retry for at most one day;
- a later success, another agent's limit, and an expired limit do not
delay the retry;
- a durable provider event, or an indeterminate `session.open` outcome,
still blocks the task with `ambiguous_state` and no retry.
- `native-session-executor.test.ts`: all 1,087 tests pass, including a
new classification case for `failed`, `rejected`, `indeterminate` and a
different command.
- `chat-channels.integration.test.ts -t "requires terminal-safe native
ownership for an exact chat retry"`: 23 pass, including the new
`session_open` case. That case fails without the list change.
- Related suites pass: native session resumption, native provider
failure, capacity and overload integration tests, provider failure
classification, native status arbiter corpus, native restart recovery.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server` passes. `git diff --check` passes.
- [GitHub
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41713988964)
is green on head `32561aa335d`. This includes `ci / verify`, `ci / e2e`,
typecheck, build, all server, chat and workspace groups, all serialized
server suites, and all Runner checks, which run the native-runtime
server tests. In the first attempt, eleven jobs stopped because their
runners received a shutdown signal; no test reported a failure. A rerun
of those jobs passed.
- A local run of the whole `server/src/services/native-runtime`
directory was stopped before completion because it runs serially for a
long time. CI ran those files.
- Runtime dependency: the new work is one indexed query (`company_id`,
`agent_id`, `started_at`) with `LIMIT 20`. It runs only when a bootstrap
retry is planned or exhausted, not on the normal path. No new timer or
polling: the wait uses the existing persisted `nextAttemptAt` deadline
and the existing resume dispatch.
- Not verified: a live provider account at its usage limit, and a live
remote sandbox that waits through a full cooldown. The full repository
suite was not run locally; CI ran it.

## Risks

- A task that waits for a cooldown stays `in_progress` with its
execution lock, for up to one day. This is the existing same-run retry
state. Stop, reassignment, pause and an explicit Retry keep their
current behavior through the existing claim checks.
- During the wait the failed run keeps its environment lease in the same
way as any same-run retry. A remote lease with an unexported prepared
workspace is retained by the orphaned-lease sweep until the retry runs.
Other active leases of the failed run are released after the usual five
minutes, and the retry acquires a new one.
- A `rate_limit` failure without a reset time (for example a short HTTP
429) delays only startup-failure retries of that agent, by up to one
hour. Normal runs are not delayed, and a later success clears the
evidence.
- A startup failure that needs user action (for example a sign-in
failure) now uses two automatic retries, about 90 seconds in total,
before the task is blocked. Before, it was blocked at once with an
ambiguous reason.
- The agent's other queued runs are not held during a cooldown. Each one
fails at `session.open` without provider work and then waits for the
same cooldown. An agent-wide admission hold has no clean extension point
in the current queue, so it is not part of this change.
- Re-arming consumed scheduled monitors is out of scope. This change
makes it matter less: a run that consumed a monitor wake now retries
itself on the same run. A monitor that a run consumed before its retry
budget was used stays consumed.
- No schema or API change. The new error code appears on runs and in run
error codes.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 80c308f872 fix(runner): admit follow-ups after recovered per-turn owners (#18846)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native Runner sessions keep one conversation across task turns.
> - After a per-turn sandbox turn, the controller saves a Runner
suspension receipt or a failover backup.
> - A full sandbox disk can stop that save after the turn is complete.
> - Recovery then commits the result, but the controller has no proof
that the Runner suspended.
> - Each follow-up rebuilds the old controller journal from the database
and rejects it again.
> - This pull request lets admission retire that old authority when the
prior owner is provably finished.
> - The benefit is that the task continues with its saved workspace and
does not stay blocked.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18705 (checkpoint save on a full sandbox disk). Refs #18829,
#18718 and #18343 (related admission and controller recovery). Refs
#18811 (a related warm continuation wait).

**What happened?**

A per-turn native run in a remote sandbox finished its turn. The
post-turn `harness_state.backup.persist` and
`session.checkpoint.persist` steps failed because the sandbox disk was
full. The controller got no Runner suspension receipt and no failover
backup. Workspace recovery later saved the files. The run committed its
result and ended as `succeeded`. A board comment then started a
follow-up in a new sandbox. Admission failed after about two minutes
with `runner_state_identity_mismatch:
prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate`. Execution recovery then
blocked the task.

The cause is in durable-root admission.
`restorePerTurnRunnerdController` rebuilds the prior controller journal
from the database checkpoint. `verifyPriorRunnerdStateForSessionScope`
finds a terminal owner in the same scope with no suspended lifecycle and
no retained warm owner. It returns `terminal_state_indeterminate`.
Admission quarantines the root and fails. The database checkpoint does
not change, so every later admission rebuilds the same journal and fails
again.

A board Retry after that failed follow-up does not repeat the same
error. Runtime selection picks the failed follow-up as the resume
source, because it carries an inherited provider checkpoint. Controller
recovery then fails with
`native_controller_recovery_unsupported:metadata_format`. The task stays
blocked. This pull request prevents that failed follow-up. It does not
change source selection (see Risks).

**Expected behavior**

When the prior owner is provably finished, the follow-up must start. It
must keep the saved workspace. It must not start while the prior owner
can still be alive, while terminal delivery or provider cleanup is
unsettled, or while quarantine holds evidence from a different owner.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Complete a per-turn remote sandbox run. Commit its result through
recovery and release its controller lease.
2. Keep its database controller checkpoint and recovery pointer. Do not
save a suspension receipt or a failover backup.
3. Admit a follow-up in a new sandbox with no local controller
projection.
4. Admission rebuilds the old journal, quarantines it, and fails with
the error above.
5. Admit the same run again. It rebuilds the journal and fails the same
way.

The new regression test runs these steps against PostgreSQL.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `e0276e0166`.

**Deployment mode**

Native Runner with a per-turn lifecycle, the built-in remote sandbox
transport, and the ACPX provider. The admission path is the same for
other per-turn sandbox providers.

## What Changed

- Add `retireFinishedPerTurnRunnerdOwner` to durable-root admission in
`native-session-executor.ts`. It runs only when the existing verifier
returns `terminal_state_indeterminate`, and only without a restart claim
or a retained warm owner.
- The function requires all of these. Otherwise the existing quarantine
and rejection apply.
- Per-turn lifecycle on the built-in remote sandbox transport, with a
`created` or `replacement` sandbox. A resumed sandbox, a warm session,
and a plugin task keep their existing paths.
- No local Runner lifecycle evidence for the old owner. The session root
contains only known authority entries.
- A journal for that owner with its terminal delivered and only idle
goal snapshots after it. All commands are completed. Each tool input has
a completed result. No warm transition or staged attachment exists.
- A terminal prior run in the same task. Its coordinator is `committed`
with a result, has no lease owner, and has no recovery state.
- A stopped prior controller, from `evaluateNativeControllerTakeover`
with `requireStoppedController`. A durable controller is fenced by its
released database lease, as in remote warm recovery.
- Each quarantined root for the scope passes the same journal and local
Runner evidence checks for the same owner. A retry rebuilds only the
database journal, so quarantined Runner evidence must stay decisive.
- When the proof holds, the function reads the journal again, moves the
old authority into `continuity-breaks/<time>-<uuid>` in the session
root, and logs one line. The follow-up then starts a new Runner
authority. The provider session follows the existing resume-or-replace
policy.
- Share the list of continuity archive entries with provider replacement
(`archiveContinuityState`). Provider replacement behavior does not
change.
- Add `native-recovered-owner-followup.test.ts`. It uses real
PostgreSQL, a real encrypted controller checkpoint, and the production
source selector and checkpoint rebinder.
- Document the rule in `doc/execution-semantics.md` and the test in
`doc/testing-native-remote-continuity.md`.

### Design choice

I considered two approaches:

1. Start a new Runner authority for the scope at admission (this pull
request).
2. Make the recovery path that committed the prior run also settle its
Runner and controller projection.

I chose the first approach for these reasons:

- The provider history stayed in the unreachable sandbox. A settled
projection cannot make it resumable. Admission would pass, but a
replacement sandbox would then fail on the missing backup, and a new
sandbox would only try to resume a session that is gone.
- A settled receipt written by recovery would claim a suspension that
the Runner never wrote. Other checks rely on that receipt as Runner
evidence.
- Several paths can commit a result. Only runs that commit after a
settle-at-commit fix would benefit. The admission fix also unblocks
tasks that were committed before it.
- Admission already owns this decision. It already has the scope claim,
the journal, and the database rows.

### Safety argument

- **No live prior owner.** The coordinator has no lease owner, and the
controller must be proven stopped. The follow-up runs in a different
sandbox than the old Runner. A resumed sandbox keeps the existing path,
which reads the old Runner's own lifecycle there.
- **No unsettled terminal delivery or effects.** The controller
acknowledged the terminal and completed every command, including the
suspend command. Every tool input has an answer, and the coordinator
committed the result. The unreadable Runner outbox can then hold only
post-terminal telemetry.
- **No unsettled cleanup.** Any local Runner receipt, including an
unsuspended one, keeps the hold. A coordinator recovery state keeps the
hold.
- **No ambiguous quarantine.** A quarantined root from a different owner
keeps the hold. A quarantined root with Runner lifecycle evidence,
unknown entries, or an unsettled journal also keeps the hold.
- **No lost evidence.** The move keeps the old authority in the session
root. Existing retention expires it like other continuity breaks. A
journal change during the database reads cancels the move.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-recovered-owner-followup.test.ts`: 12
tests pass.
- Before the change, the four admission tests failed with the exact
error above. This includes a re-admission that rebuilt the journal from
the database and failed again.
- After the change, `created` and `replacement` sandboxes are admitted.
A re-admission is admitted. A task with an earlier quarantined copy of
the same owner is admitted.
- Eight controls keep the hold: uncommitted result, live controller
lease, unexpired controller lease, recovery state, pending command,
unanswered tool input, a different owner in quarantine, and an
unsuspended Runner receipt in quarantine after a retry rebuilds the
root.
- I disabled each new guard in turn. Each change made its matching
control fail.
- An exploratory run of the same fixture before the change answered the
Retry question above. The second follow-up selected the failed follow-up
as its source and failed with
`native_controller_recovery_unsupported:metadata_format`.
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts`: all 1,087
tests pass.
- Related suites pass: `task-workspace-binding`,
`native-controller-recovery` (unit and integration),
`native-harness-backup-expiration`, `native-session-resume`, and the
restart and diskless integration suites. Their container and Runner
binary cases skip locally.
- `node scripts/typecheck-low-memory.mjs`, `pnpm
check:module-boundaries`, and `git diff --check` pass.
- CI passes at `879bb6a5c7`. Two attempts lost jobs when CI runners
received a shutdown signal; the third attempt passed every job.
- I did not run the full `pnpm test:run`, `pnpm build`, or the opt-in
Linux Runner container cases locally. CI runs them.
- I did not test a live sandbox provider or a live model. I could not
inspect the original checkpoint contents. If a stranded run's journal
does not show a delivered terminal and completed commands, its follow-up
stays held.

## Risks

- A follow-up after this path cannot use the lost provider history. The
provider session then follows the existing resume-or-replace policy, and
the task context comes from Paperclip. A checkpoint that requires the
same session, such as an unfinished goal, still fails at provider
recovery.
- Post-terminal Runner telemetry in the lost outbox, such as a late
usage report, stays lost. It cannot carry a workspace effect.
- A task that already has a failed follow-up from this error can still
be blocked on a board Retry. Source selection picks that failed run and
fails with `native_controller_recovery_unsupported:metadata_format`.
This pull request does not change source selection. A same-run retry of
the failed follow-up is admitted.
- The change is limited to per-turn runs on the built-in sandbox
transport. Warm sessions, plugin tasks, resumed sandboxes, and restart
recovery do not change.
- No migration or configuration change is required.

## Model Used

- Anthropic Claude Opus 5.5 (model ID `claude-opus-5-5`) in Claude Code,
with extended thinking, repository tools, shell and code execution, and
local test runs. The runtime does not expose the context window size.

4bdcd1cffc fix(recovery): release holds for unstarted dispatch cancellations (#18838)
Release false recovery holds for legacy dispatch cancellations whose retained
evidence proves execution never started. Keep audit history, current admission
gates, review-wait Retry, and retained workspace obligations.

Share the execution-absence proof across cancellation policies and make the
dispatcher error-code policy exhaustive. Add PostgreSQL coverage and stabilize
the browser history fixture by waiting for pause cleanup before seeding it.

DottaandPaperclip 0b87308d5d fix(native): defer warm continuation during predecessor finalization (#18811)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent work and preserves its saved results.
> - Native warm sessions can continue on a retained remote Runner.
> - A completed predecessor can still have a live finalization lease.
> - The continuation must wait for that owner before it can start work.
> - Two admission checks treated that temporary lease as ambiguous
state.
> - This pull request uses the existing deadline-based wait for both
checks.
> - The same business run can continue once, with its saved context and
gates.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A compatible remote warm continuation can fail before provider work
starts. Its predecessor has completed, but a finalizer still holds a
live lease. The warm-session check reports
`runner_state_identity_mismatch:
prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate`. The earlier retained-sandbox
check has the same problem on the command transport.

**Expected behavior**

Keep the unstarted continuation on its existing run. Wait until the
recorded owner deadline. Recheck ordinary ownership, Stop, credentials
and checkpoint evidence before execution.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Complete a remote warm turn and retain its controller records and
provider session.
2. Give that completed predecessor a live finalization lease.
3. Admit a compatible follow-up with full local controller projections.
4. Before this change, admission fails permanently. It must instead
persist a bounded pre-provider wait.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The PostgreSQL regression failed before production edits on
`adb49a4434`. The current head is `5762dfbe4e`, based on master
`e491b23eb5`.

**Deployment mode**

Native remote sandbox execution. No database migration or provider
artifact change is required.

Related: #18718 refreshes stale warm-controller projections. #18343 adds
controller replacement recovery. #18554 restores suspended remote
sessions. This change handles a live predecessor finalizer after those
source checks.

The shared historical error does not identify its failed predicate. This
regression proves the finalizer race; it does not prove that every
historical instance of that error had this cause.

## What Changed

- Defer a compatible warm continuation while its completed predecessor
has a live finalization lease.
- Use the same wait in the preceding retained-sandbox read check.
- Preserve the current run, provider attempt count and checkpoint. Reuse
the existing resumption scheduler.
- Add PostgreSQL cases for both finalization phases, lease expiry,
company scope, incompatible configuration, unfinished commands, Stop and
duplicate resumption claims.
- Add an opt-in three-turn Linux Runner case. Update the
child-controller fixture to own and register a local API listener.
- Document the waiting behavior and acceptance case.
- Repair two readiness barriers in the refresh-worker integration
fixture after a required CI shard failed twice: wait for paginated
startup and for active worker promises to settle before checking idle
SQL.

## Verification

- **Native regression RED:** before production edits on `adb49a4434`,
the PostgreSQL boundary case received the permanent identity error
instead of `NativeControllerRecoveryWaitingError`.
- **Regression GREEN on the current head:** all **71** focused recovery,
settlement, heartbeat safety and refresh-worker cases pass on
`5762dfbe4e` with Node 24.21.0 and PostgreSQL 18. They cover
incompatible identities, company/configuration mismatches, expired or
missing deadlines, unfinished commands, Stop, retained files and
duplicate resumption claims.
- **Real process acceptance on the current head:** the three-turn
`finalizer-wait` case passes in 58.01 seconds. PostgreSQL, TLS, a
rebuilt Linux Runner and the deterministic Codex app-server fixture
confirm zero attempts and no provider turn during the wait, one claim
resuming the same run, retained history, a healthy third warm turn and
final suspension. The sibling `warm-suspended` case from master also
passes, in a fresh container, in 46.02 seconds. Both runs use
`5762dfbe4e`; the artifacts were rebuilt from that checkout with the
repository's pinned Rust 1.97.1 toolchain.
- Acceptance used Node 24.21.0 and glibc 2.41. Earlier probes exposed
the missing fixture API listener and the preceding retained-sandbox
guard; both are corrected. A stale disposable listener and an
incompatible libc image failed setup before the successful
fresh-container run. These setup failures are not the original
regression's RED.
- Repository typecheck/build passed locally before the rebase. Server
typecheck passes after the rebase. **Full CI passes on the current
head:** 48 successful jobs and one expected scope skip, including
typecheck, build, Runner checks, all serialized-server shards, general
tests, E2E and the final aggregate. Module-boundary and whitespace
checks also pass.
- Broad local inventories are incomplete: six chat shards passed (1,834
tests), but untouched server/UI/adapter cases hit timeouts. The exact
shared-base expiration case passes alone; a full-file rerun passed all
89 assertions but timed out in teardown. A Node 24 rerun timed out in
another lifecycle case and teardown. A later PostgreSQL recheck could
not allocate shared memory; this task's redundant broad controllers were
stopped and their logs retained.
- CI attempt 1 failed a Cursor Cloud cancellation deadline, an E2E
cleanup cancellation with a PostgreSQL lock timeout, and the
refresh-worker startup settling limit. One failed-only retry passed
Runner and E2E; the same refresh startup case failed again. Two
aggregate jobs had previously stalled in the hosted-runner queue and
blocked the retry; that obsolete attempt was cancelled. No repeated
blind rerun is being used.
- **Readiness repair RED/GREEN:** real PostgreSQL 18 behind a loopback
proxy with 20 ms delay per direction reproduces the exact startup error
before the test change; the same probe passes afterward. An initial
controlled probe hit the dedicated-database naming guard before tests
ran and is excluded from RED evidence. The full-file check then exposed
a separate false-idle barrier: a worker could be running while its
scheduler had no timer. The fixture now also checks the existing
active-work tracker. All **24 cases pass** with both repairs. The
at-most-six scoped SQL reads and zero recurring idle-SQL assertions are
unchanged; startup alone has an explicit bounded condition wait. No
production behavior or timeout changes.
- Greptile and Paperclip Review are both **5/5 on the current head**,
with no open findings. Both reviews used source inspection; the runtime
evidence above was obtained separately. The previous review workspace
was recovered on the first production attempt after repairing its
partial-clone export. Its preserved result and real follow-up both
finalized successfully, saved snapshots and released their writers and
finalization leases. Three current-head CI shards received hosted-runner
shutdown signals and were cancelled. All three passed their one
justified retry. The queued aggregate had to be cancelled to schedule
that retry; the final aggregate also passed. [Current-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41706617909).
- This acceptance does not qualify a live Codex model or Daytona API run
of the native repair. No deployment or recovery of the original task is
claimed.

## Risks

- A wait must not grant a second executor. The current attempt stays at
zero until the existing scheduler claims it. Expired or missing
deadlines retain their existing hold.
- Saved state must survive the wait. Admission still requires the same
company, task, session, configuration and physical sandbox evidence.
- Current Stop, budget, credential and permission gates remain with
ordinary resumption. No polling loop is added.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The runtime does not expose the exact
serving model ID or context-window size. Capabilities: reasoning,
repository inspection, code editing, shell tools and test execution.

DottaandPaperclip e491b23eb5 fix(runner): retire sandbox suspension receipts after admission (#18829)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents and their work.
> - Native Runner sessions preserve a conversation across task turns.
> - Remote suspension records a local receipt for the stopped Runner
identity.
> - The built-in sandbox path now writes the same receipt as plugin
tasks.
> - Admission cleared that receipt only for plugin tasks.
> - A later warm turn could reject a clean journal because the old
receipt named an earlier run.
> - This pull request clears the receipt after successful admission for
both sandbox paths.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18343 and #18554 for the shared suspension receipt producer. Refs
#18718 for the related controller projection refresh.

**What happened?**

After a suspended built-in sandbox session resumed, its next warm turn
could fail with `runner_state_identity_mismatch:
prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate`. Its journal named the
completed resumed run. Its local suspension receipt still named the
older run.

**Expected behavior**

Successful admission must retire the prior suspension receipt. The next
compatible warm turn must reuse the admitted session and provider
history once. A failed admission must retain recovery evidence.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Complete and suspend remote turn A.
2. Resume turn B through the built-in sandbox transport.
3. Keep the controller warm, with full Runner state owned by the
sandbox.
4. Admit turn C. The old local receipt conflicts with B's journal
identity.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced in the executor regression on base `367f29478d`.

**Deployment mode**

Native Runner with the built-in remote sandbox transport and a warm
lifecycle.

## What Changed

- Clear the local suspension receipt after a remote sandbox session
passes provider recovery and durable admission. Apply this to built-in
runners and plugin tasks.
- Extend the existing three-turn warm admission regression to cover a
suspended receipt and remote-only Runner state.
- Keep an active-owner control that rejects admission and retains its
receipt. Keep the existing foreign-owner, retirement, configuration,
plugin, and unchanged-session controls.
- Add a real Linux Runner continuity case that suspends A, resumes B,
and keeps B warm for C. Register the test fixture's owned local API
listener.
- Document receipt ownership and the new continuity case.

## Verification

- The new behavioral regression failed before the production change.
Turn C raised the exact identity mismatch above. The active-owner
control passed and retained its receipt.
- All 1,087 native executor tests pass after the fix.
- Both opt-in Linux process cases pass at the final commit: ordinary
warm reuse and suspension followed by warm reuse. They use PostgreSQL,
TLS, current-source Rust binaries, and a deterministic Codex fixture.
Each preserves one conversation, starts exactly three turns, and reuses
the warm Runner and provider on turn C.
- Full repository typecheck passes with `node
scripts/typecheck-low-memory.mjs`. Full production build passes with
`pnpm build`.
- All current-head CI checks pass at `a95a6fdfe8`, including the full
test shards, browser shards, Rust checks, build, and typecheck. The
policy job needed one retry after repository checkout timed out before
checks ran.
- Greptile and Ponytail each give 5/5 at the final head. There are no
open review threads or findings.
- The local full `pnpm test:run` attempt passed 351 cases in its first
chat shard. The session interruption stopped it during the second shard,
so it has no complete local verdict. The complete CI test run passes.
- Module boundary checks and `git diff --check` pass.

## Risks

- A receipt removed before admission could discard recovery evidence.
Removal stays in the successful `onSession` callback. The negative
admission control checks retention.
- A stale owner must not gain authority. Journal, run, lease, and scope
checks remain in place before the callback.
- Historical contradictory or quarantined state still requires the
existing verified recovery path. This change does not delete those
records.
- No migration or provider configuration change is required.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6. The runtime does not expose a more
specific model ID or context limit. Used reasoning, repository tools,
code execution, and tests.

DottaandPaperclip e0c6992426 fix(heartbeat): prevent saved input starvation during queue reloads (#18819)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Accepted messages and task Retry requests use durable wake receipts.
> - The recovery worker loads receipts in pages of 100 and checks
batches of 25.
> - Company activity can reload those pages before the pending batch
drains.
> - Reloads reset ready receipts' dispatch times and can repeatedly
favor receipts already checked.
> - This pull request preserves the priority of unchecked ready receipts
so saved input can reach normal admission.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Saved input can remain deferred after the preceding run finishes.
Repeated company eligibility changes reset the dispatch times of pending
receipts during paginated reconstruction. A PostgreSQL regression checks
only 75 of 178 receipts on the original code despite twelve eligibility
changes.

**Expected behavior**

Each ready receipt must reach its admission check. Existing wait
deadlines, retry backoffs, authorization, and execution gates must still
apply.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Seed more than one page of deferred receipts.
2. Keep those receipts pending after their checks.
3. Send company eligibility notifications between scheduler passes.
4. Check that every receipt is reconsidered, including receipts later in
the backlog.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `367f29478d`.

**Deployment mode**

Built from source with PostgreSQL. The defect occurs before provider
execution.

Related: #10195 reports a similar starvation symptom in a different
promotion loop. #18621 added saved-input Retry after a successful run.
This change fixes fairness in the deferred-receipt worker.

## What Changed

- Add an optional entry merge callback to scoped deadline
reconstruction.
- Use it in the deferred-receipt worker to retain unread ready receipts'
priority while refreshing their state.
- Place receipts whose wait has expired into the ready queue during
reconstruction.
- Keep real wait, claim, and dispatch deadlines authoritative.
- Add a paginated starvation regression, real process dispatch coverage,
and GitHub lock-collision recovery coverage.
- Document the recovery fairness rule.

## Verification

- The PostgreSQL starvation regression checks only 75 of 178 receipts
before the fix. It checks all 178 afterward, both with ordinary receipts
and with expired execution waits.
- Seven focused scheduler cases pass, including moved interrupt grace,
moved native error deadline, fresh claim/wait deadlines, and
unchanged-gate grace.
- GitHub endpoint lock-collision recovery, retained board authority,
HTTP Retry, and five current admission-gate cases pass.
- Real process acceptance passes on the final code: task Retry crosses
the repeatedly invalidated backlog, reconstructs its persisted queued
run after a worker restart, saves `receipt-proof` in run output, and has
one successor for the Retry receipt. The test holds executor capacity
while advancing queue time, then starts fresh workers at PostgreSQL time
before releasing a real process lease. The defect is in admission
scheduling before provider execution; this acceptance uses PostgreSQL
and a local process adapter.
- The full workspace build and typecheck (`node
scripts/typecheck-low-memory.mjs`) pass locally. The affected worker
suites pass 52 of 53 cases together; the existing native multi-company
batch case times out in that combined run and passes in isolation
without code changes. All new regression and acceptance cases pass.
- Local `pnpm test:run` stops in its first chat shard on three 15-second
timeouts (Teams long native HTTP picture delivery, direct final-response
materialization, and contended inbound notices). All three pass in
isolation without code changes. Later full-suite groups did not run
locally after that shard failure.
- [The full GitHub Actions matrix
passes](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41697489374)
on `ac91df2cc6db6c77529d923177b375b8c92efd45`, including all
general-test, serialized-server, browser, build, and typecheck jobs.
Server shard 8 initially failed an upstream process-adoption test and
passed its one rerun without code changes.
- [Greptile is
5/5](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18819#issuecomment-6612091535)
on the same current head, with no actionable findings or unresolved
review threads. The separate Paperclip Review check is neutral; its
previous request was bound to an older commit.

Focused command:

```sh
pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/deferred-execution-receipt-work.test.ts server/src/__tests__/scoped-deadline-work.test.ts
```

## Risks

- Ready receipt order changes during repeated reconstruction. Admission
still reads current durable state.
- A ready receipt must not inherit an obsolete priority after it
acquires a future deadline. The merge applies only when both pending and
loaded entries are immediate. Deadline safety tests cover that boundary.
- The merge callback is optional. Other scoped workers retain their
current reconstruction behavior.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 367f29478d fix(recovery): preserve the bound remote writer before continuation (#18803)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent work and preserves task files.
> - A remote workspace records the exact run that owns its unsaved
files.
> - A later setup failure can become the latest task run without owning
those files.
> - Retry only inspected that latest run, so the original writer had no
file-recovery owner.
> - A released reusable source also failed the legacy retention rule.
> - This change registers the bound writer, saves its files, and then
admits the saved user request once.
> - Existing stop, ownership, approval and execution-evidence checks
remain effective.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A native run prepared a remote workspace and failed before finalization.
Its sandbox stopped with a dedicated stop receipt. The workspace stayed
dirty and retained that run as its writer. A later setup failure became
the latest task run. Retry inspected the newer run and left the original
file obligation unregistered. New attempts failed at the writer fence.

Registration alone was insufficient. After file recovery, continuation
still required the Retry source to be one of the older recovery sources.
A newer pre-provider failure did not satisfy that check. Workspace
selection could also choose a fresh directory instead of the recovered
files.

**Expected behavior**

Find the writer through the task's current workspace binding. Register
only its exact prepared source. Preserve the released lease and its stop
receipts. Save the files before continuation. Independently prove that a
newer setup failure never dispatched work. Select the verified saved
workspace and admit the Retry once.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Fail a native run with a prepared remote workspace and a released
reusable sandbox.
2. Keep matching dedicated stop receipts and the workspace's dirty
writer authority.
3. Record a newer pre-provider setup failure for the same task.
4. Request Retry. Before the fix, no file-maintenance record owns the
actual writer.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced before production edits on master `f7ad1dc7ca`. The branch
was rebased on master `adb49a44346849e751548b2fb640693dbfad4b6f`.

**Deployment mode**

Authenticated hosted execution with Paperclip Runner and remote
workspace storage.

Companion: #18798 (now merged upstream) fixes a pre-existing inbox test
synchronization race. Its test-only commit
`110aa88489cad926a451c972ad731ede469347c1` is cherry-picked here with
attribution so this PR can run the complete CI matrix.

Related: #17800 registers missing preservation for the selected source
run. #18678 holds unfinished remote exports. #18718 repairs a prior
warm-controller projection failure. #17916 addresses a separate legacy
warm-copyback policy case.

## What Changed

- Discover the failed writer through the company-scoped task/workspace
binding during Retry and authenticated message admission.
- Reuse the exact prepared-source validator for released remote
workspaces. Registration changes neither the lease policy nor its stop
receipts. Physical recovery retains its full allocation checks.
- Check a newer failed preparation separately before allowing an older,
repaired source to release continuation. Provider events, leases,
results and execution ownership remain disqualifying evidence.
- Select the bound saved workspace through the continuation's verified
repair receipt.
- Add PostgreSQL safety cases and an HTTP Retry workflow with real file
capture and saved-copy reads. Document the execution contract.
- Reuse #18798's completion barrier for the existing inbox cancellation
test; preserve its eight-slot limit, rejection and coalescing
assertions.

## Verification

- RED before production edits: the exact stopped writer has no
`workspaceRestoreRecovery` after Retry. Six unsafe-source controls pass
on the baseline.
- GREEN: the expanded Retry/message/preview selection passes 17 cases.
All 627 tests in the five affected recovery suites pass on recovery
commit `b572304f772d236b8a8bdf095e13e651d808f41c`, including Stop,
ownership, saved messages and duplicate Retry.
- The HTTP workflow registers maintenance, keeps execution held before
save, reads back the saved file bytes, and admits exactly one
continuation with `resume_preserved_workspace`. A registration-only
repair first failed after save because it did not reconcile the newer
Retry source. The incident-shaped pair passes with an independent active
stranded-task action present.
- Greptile identified the path where the newer setup failure already
owns a reconciliation hold. Its new regression failed before the
correction (saved files, zero queued continuations); the
contradictory-dispatch control passed. All four HTTP variants pass after
the correction, covering both hold shapes and both dispatch-evidence
controls.
- Repository typecheck and build passed. Server typecheck and build also
passed after the recovery changes. Module-boundary and whitespace checks
pass.
- The full local Vitest command failed in the GitHub fast-response
acknowledgement test (`delivery_unknown`: one response write instead of
zero). That isolated case passes on this branch and unchanged master;
the original full-run cause remains unestablished. A sibling run passed
199 test cases but timed out in workspace-suite database cleanup.
Unchanged master also passed all 126 workspace cases and timed out in
the same cleanup hook; all five acknowledgement outcomes passed in that
baseline comparison. These local failures remain recorded rather than
being reported as suite passes.
- The first hosted matrix failed the pre-existing inbox cancellation
assertion (expected nine computes, saw eight). The same assertion failed
in [master
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41664339150/job/126015526840)
and reproduced locally before applying #18798's existing repair. All six
inbox HTTP/database cases pass after that repair. Final head
`7f2fafcbace74cb1ad8ea68c8375a69b42ed30d9` adds only that attributed
test change to the verified recovery code.
- [Final hosted
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41677310377)
passes on head `7f2fafcbace74cb1ad8ea68c8375a69b42ed30d9`, including `ci
/ verify`, `ci / e2e`, typecheck, build, every server/chat/workspace
group, Runner checks and all eight browser shards. There are 54
successful check results, two informational neutral results and three
skipped results, with no pending or failing results.
- Greptile and the Paperclip reviewer both report 5/5 for that final
head; no review threads remain open. The Paperclip review check is
informational (`neutral`) and records its local-testing limitations.
- The file workflow uses real PostgreSQL, subprocess file capture,
encrypted saved objects and production recovery code. Provider
resume/stop calls are simulated at the environment driver boundary. This
does not prove a live Daytona or Codex recovery. No deployment or
original-task retry is claimed.

## Risks

- File-maintenance discovery must not authorize another executor.
Existing writer, coordinator and physical allocation checks still own
that decision.
- A false bootstrap summary cannot prove that a newer run never
executed. The new path also requires its immutable native-adapter claim,
unresolved preparation state, absent
coordinator/process/session/lease/result evidence, and no dispatch
events.
- Additional database reads run only during explicit task admission or
Retry strategy selection. They are company/task scoped and add no
polling loop. The saved-writer query returns one matching snapshot and
omits prompt bodies.
- No schema, credential, provider profile or deployment setting changes.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, repository inspection, code
execution and test tools. The runtime does not expose the exact serving
model ID or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip e16de641ba fix(heartbeat): retain Stop and receipt debt after setup failure (#18776)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The server owns execution, Stop delivery, and usage settlement.
> - A restored execution can fail during preparation.
> - A preparation failure does not prove that earlier provider work
never started.
> - Replacing its result metadata can remove an existing Stop and
falsely release its accounting hold.
> - This pull request preserves those obligations at the terminal write.
> - The benefit is honest cleanup and receipt debt without new execution
authority.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A recovered native run can fail a configuration check before dispatch in
the new controller. The setup failure writes bootstrap metadata with
`providerWorkStarted: false`. It also replaces the previous result
metadata. This can remove a pending native Stop. Accounting then accepts
the new bootstrap flag and releases the original hold despite an
incomplete receipt.

**Expected behavior**

Keep the current run-Stop and receipt debt when setup fails after
earlier native execution. Preserve an acknowledgement that commits
during the failure write. Fresh setup that never dispatched must remain
eligible for pre-provider settlement. Keep account-identity checks
effective.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Save admitted native execution, an active provider checkpoint, an
original held reservation, and an audited pending run-only Stop.
2. Recover the run and fail preparation with an account configuration
error before the new controller dispatches.
3. Run ordinary cost reconciliation with an incomplete receipt.
4. Observe that the base removes the Stop and releases the hold as if
the run never started.

Related: #18682 repairs exact-session Stop cleanup after restart. This
change protects setup failure before that path. #18702 handles AI
connection-request waits. #18035 proposes broader accounting policy.
#18778 separately handles retained cleanup across account changes.
Account, budget, and receipt authority are unchanged here.

## What Changed

- Mark setup-failure status writes through an internal lifecycle option.
At the atomic write, a prior coordinator attempt bound to the same run,
company and task prevents false pre-provider evidence, even with a stale
loaded profile. Lock the coordinator before the run so an in-flight
claim cannot be missed. Selected execution input alone does not imply
provider work.
- Keep genuine pre-dispatch setup eligible for settlement after fresh
native input is persisted, whether the loaded profile is current or
stale.
- Preserve only exactly bound native run-Stop fields from the current
database row during failure writes, including the intentional handoff
marker. Keep the latest acknowledgement when the update waits behind
another writer. Normal Stop delivery still advances its own metadata.
Replace unrelated stale result fields.
- Add real PostgreSQL regressions for receipt debt, original holds,
stale snapshots, late acknowledgement, fresh setup, dispatched work, and
foreign or task-scoped metadata.
- Update the execution contract.

## Verification

- On untouched master, the recovered-setup regression fails six
assertions: Stop removal, false bootstrap evidence, false accounting
settlement, lost debt, and released hold. The fresh-setup control
passes.
- A second regression fails four assertions with the first repair
present when the loaded profile lacks the current saved execution. The
atomic current-row check fixes that case.
- The focused safety selection passes. It includes real row-lock
contention. A controlled concurrent writer seeds audited acknowledgement
state while the terminal update waits. The product code retains that
state and creates no acknowledgement or provider turn. This race test
does not prove physical provider termination.
- Fresh native and legacy setup can settle without a receipt. Dispatched
native and legacy work keeps its debt. Foreign run, company, issue and
task-scope metadata stays excluded. Unrelated old result fields are
replaced.
- After the final review fixes, all three completion, Stop and
budget-cancellation suites pass: 121 tests. The exact `pnpm run
typecheck:build-gaps` entry point passes after the final source and
service-test edits. Module-boundary checks pass. An ordinary adapter
pre-provider receipt control also passes.
- Native review also found that fresh selected input could be mistaken
for prior execution. Real-admission loaded/stale cases fail against the
earlier head; a prior-attempt-only control passes. The correction uses
the bound coordinator attempt and includes a foreign-task negative.
Reservation `providerStartedAt` is stamped at reservation creation and
is not used as provider-work evidence.
- A row-lock regression also exposes a first execution claim committing
during the terminal write: the prior statement snapshot misses it and
falsely releases the hold. Locking the exact coordinator before the run
fixes that race and preserves the existing claim lock order. Concurrent
Stop acknowledgement tests remain green.
- Review found two preservation gaps. New real-database reds show
handoff classification loss and overwritten budget Stop delivery
progress. Failure-only preservation and the bounded handoff marker
address them.
- Initial helper-import and reservation-order fixture errors are
retained separately from causal failures. No assertion or deadline was
relaxed to pass the regression.
- Current-head Greptile is 5/5. The optional native review stopped
before completing and returned NEUTRAL; this is not substantive
approval. Its prior finding was reproduced and fixed. Coordinator and
independent source/evidence reviews found no additional issue; neither
is a hosted recovery test.
- These are local database tests with saved provider state. No hosted
recovery, physical provider termination, historical-state repair, or
deployment is claimed. Full repository tests and build passed in
current-head CI: 55 successful checks, three expected skips, and the
explicitly incomplete optional native review returned NEUTRAL. Required
verify and e2e aggregates passed.

## Risks

- The current database row must retain canonical Stop state while
replacing other result metadata. The preservation is limited to the same
native run, company, issue and run-only Stop scope.
- Setup-failure history checks keep uncertain work pending. They do not
create a receipt, acknowledgement, reservation or charge.
- The setup-only write option leaves ordinary adapter pre-provider
receipts unchanged. No account-identity, budget, dispatch, or provider
authorization gate is bypassed.
- Already overwritten historical state needs separate evidence and
repair. This change does not reconstruct it.
- No schema, public API, provider profile, or deployment setting changes
are required.

## Model Used

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

17e8bd7735 fix(runner): save native checkpoints when the sandbox disk is full (#18705)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs on a remote sandbox save two things after each turn: the
provider checkpoint and the workspace export
> - An agent can fill the sandbox disk during its own work, for example
with a package install
> - The turn still finishes, but both saves need free sandbox disk, so
they fail and the task becomes blocked with no clear reason
> - This pull request makes the checkpoint work on a full disk and makes
a full disk visible in the export failure
> - The benefit is fewer stranded checkpoints, and an operator sees at
once why an export failed

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #18715 added the shared-principal response-recovery control
synchronized below. #18644 reduced the scratch disk that the workspace
capture uses. #18172 added the disk-free streaming fallback to the
Daytona directory sync-out. Both were deployed when this failure
occurred. Neither changes the checkpoint copy, and neither can help when
the disk has no free space.

**What happened?**

A native agent ran a package install for a large monorepo in a 10 GB
Daytona sandbox. `df` in the run showed `10G 10G 4.6M 100%`. The agent
committed its work and reported `done`. Then:

1. The provider checkpoint made a filtered copy of the provider
directory inside the sandbox (`tar -cf archive; tar -xf archive -C
snapshot`) to apply its exclusions. On the full disk, tar failed. The
run recorded `runner_remote_checkpoint_snapshot_failed` without the
reason, and the partial copy stayed on the disk.
2. Workspace finalization failed three times, and file preservation
failed six times. The capture builds its archive inside the sandbox, so
each attempt failed. Every failure was recorded as
`remote_workspace_operation_failed` / `export_interrupted`, so nothing
named the full disk.
3. The task went to `blocked`. The only copy of the commit was in the
retained sandbox.

**Expected behavior**

The checkpoint does not need free sandbox disk when the provider can
stream. A workspace export that cannot fit says that the sandbox disk is
full.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run a native agent with a provider whose checkpoint has exclusions
(for example ACPX) in a small remote sandbox.
2. In the turn, fill the sandbox disk (for example `pnpm install` of a
large repository, or `fallocate` of the free space) and finish the task.
3. The checkpoint fails with `runner_remote_checkpoint_snapshot_failed`,
and every workspace export attempt fails with a generic code.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Observed on `410b0e27015`. This change is based on `5955dd4eb4c`.

## What Changed

- Synchronize the shared-principal response-recovery regression with its
saved comments and empty final deadline. Cover an in-flight discovery
invalidation. Keep every authority lock, exact publication, error, and
no-retry assertion. This changes test synchronization only.

- `syncRemoteRunnerDirectoryOut`: when the in-sandbox checkpoint copy
fails with a full-disk tar diagnostic, remove the partial copy and pass
the exclusions to the provider sync-out (`exclude` on the directory
mapping). The Daytona sync-out streams the directory without sandbox
disk when it cannot write its archive. Other copy failures and timeouts
still throw `runner_remote_checkpoint_snapshot_failed`. They now also
remove the partial copy.
- `remote-workspace-transport.ts`: the helper install and the capture
scripts report `remote_workspace_sandbox_disk_full: ...` when Node
reports `ENOSPC` or `EDQUOT`, or a Git or tar child reports "No space
left on device". `command()` passes only that exact message through,
like the existing unfinished-Git-operation message.
- `native-workspace-finalizer.ts`: a remote save that fails with that
message adds it to the failed operation's stderr. The failure code, the
retry budget, and the recovery flow do not change.

## Verification

- Current-head infrastructure interruption: the [Build
job](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41637668555/job/125923826158)
completed the actual build and production bundle boot, then the runner
received a shutdown signal during the clean public Grok npm-install
check. GitHub marked that step cancelled. The exact host-stop cause was
not retained. One bounded rerun of only the failed Build and dependent
`ci / verify` jobs passed on the unchanged head. [Build attempt
2](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41637668555/job/125931400745)
completed successfully, including the clean Grok npm-install check. No
product code, assertion or workflow changed for this interruption.

- CI failure retained: commit `6c5937fcae` failed [chat shard
1/3](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41634638570/job/125913957217)
because the shared-principal fixture saw zero saved comments after
`worker.ready` and zero active work. The other chat child passed. The
exact case passed once locally and then 30 times on the same Node
24.22.2 version as CI; those passes alone do not explain the CI
interleaving.
- Controlled RED/GREEN: invalidate the real database discovery once
while its read is in flight. The worker correctly retains a future
reconstruction deadline, but the old initial-pass/active-count barrier
reproduces the same zero-versus-one comment assertion. Waiting for both
saved comments and final `active=0`/`nextWakeAt=null` passes. Six
real-PostgreSQL controls pass on final commit `a60e5629e8`, including
endpoint independence, source revocation, and external lock
failure/recovery. No sleep, timeout increase, weakened assertion, or
product scheduling/authorization change was added.
- A local server typecheck first lacked the checkout's built Runner
declarations. After the declared Runner TypeScript build, the server
typecheck passes on `a60e5629e8`. Final-head remote verification is
complete: 54 successful checks, 3 expected skips, no failures or pending
checks, and successful `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e` aggregates. Greptile
is 5/5 on this exact commit with no unresolved review threads.

- Merge preparation: rebased onto master `b22ef22d56` and kept both
test-import additions. Added the checkpoint fallback and
capacity-failure contract to `doc/execution-semantics.md`. On rebased
commit `6c5937fcae`, 47 focused checkpoint, transport, finalization and
retained warm-projection tests passed across three files. The name
filter skipped 1,040 unrelated cases. Map and whitespace checks passed.
The final-head CI and Greptile results are recorded above.

- `npx vitest run
server/src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts
server/src/services/native-runtime/native-workspace-finalizer.test.ts
server/src/services/remote-workspace-snapshot-archive.test.ts` passes
(1,152 tests).
- `npx vitest run server/src/services/remote-workspace-transport.test.ts
server/src/services/native-runtime/native-workspace-finalizer-failure.test.ts`
passes (30 tests).
- New tests:
- Checkpoint, with real files: a full-disk snapshot leaves a partial
copy. The provider then gets the exclusions, the session files are kept,
the package caches are left out, and the partial copy is removed.
- Checkpoint: a permission failure and a timeout still fail, remove the
partial copy, and do not call the sync-out.
- Transport: the real capture scripts run with an `ENOSPC` preload, for
the helper install and for the archive write. Both report the full-disk
message and leave no partial attempt. A message with extra text still
collapses to `remote_workspace_operation_failed`.
- Finalizer: the operation stderr names the full disk and keeps
`workspace_sync_out_failed`. Other failures keep the bare code.
- With the source change removed, the 3 checkpoint cases and the 2
transport ENOSPC cases fail.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json` is clean.
- Suites that refer to the changed error codes
(`explicit-native-continuation`, `native-recovery-notice-work`,
`native-run-finalizer-telemetry`, `native-workspace-export-retry`,
`remote-workspaces.integration`) pass. In `chat-channels.integration`, 2
cases fail locally on unmodified `master` too (a bundled skill path
outside the checkout, and a chat run timing assertion). They are not
related to this change.
- Manual recovery of the observed task: the retained sandbox was resumed
with free space, file preservation was requested again, and the saved
workspace contained the agent's commit.

## Risks

- The fallback runs only after the snapshot fails with a full-disk
diagnostic. The normal path does not change.
- Provider exclusions are not anchored to the directory root. In the
fallback, a nested entry that has an excluded name (for example a nested
`tmp` or `config.toml` in a Codex home) is also left out. The fallback
never copies more than the snapshot, so credentials stay out of the
checkpoint.
- The fallback depends on the provider honoring `exclude`, which the
sync protocol requires. The Daytona and Kubernetes providers honor it.
- A workspace export on a full disk still fails. This change only names
the cause. A full fix needs one of these: free-space reserve for the
export, removal of re-creatable caches before the export, or a capture
that streams its archive. Each of these changes behavior, so this pull
request does not include one.
- No migration.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, assisted with merge preparation, conflict
resolution, documentation, test synchronization and verification. The
harness does not expose the exact serving model ID or context-window
size.

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, in Claude Code with
tool use (shell, file edits, test runs). It did the root-cause analysis
from run events, tool output, and sandbox inspection, wrote the code and
tests, and ran local verification.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

**Paperclip version or commit**

Source checkout based on `f8a888a072`.

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 718336eb04 fix(native): refresh prior warm controller projections (#18718)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native remote sessions keep their controller state in a database
checkpoint.
> - An admission can also leave a full local copy of a prior run's
state.
> - The prior owner can commit more state without changing its run ID.
> - Warm admission skipped a refresh when the local and saved run IDs
matched.
> - This pull request refreshes that prior-run copy when no retained
warm owner exists.
> - The next turn can use the committed state while existing ownership
checks remain effective.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A prior warm run can complete after an earlier admission reads its
controller checkpoint. The local copy can still contain a pending
command or lack the final terminal event. A later admission sees the
same run ID and skips restoration. It can then hold work against that
old copy even though the database checkpoint has settled.

**Expected behavior**

Read the canonical prior-run checkpoint before reuse when no retained
in-memory owner exists. Keep current-run state with its controller. Keep
unresolved canonical work and invalid checkpoint bindings blocked.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a full prior-run local projection while a command is pending.
2. Complete that command and record the terminal in the canonical
checkpoint under the same run ID.
3. Start an ordinary remote warm continuation without a retained
in-memory owner.
4. Before this change, the local command remains pending. With this
change, the completed command and terminal replace the stale copy.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on master `36df8933f0` before changing production code.

Related work: #18018 restored per-turn checkpoints; #18343 added
controller replacement recovery; #18554 restored missing remote
suspension receipts. This change handles a full prior-run projection
whose run ID already matches the saved supervisor. It does not change
the settlement guard or MCP compatibility policy.

## What Changed

- Refresh a prior-run warm controller projection even when its run ID
has not changed.
- Keep current-run and retained warm owner authority on the existing
path.
- Add five executor cases for a settled source, a pending canonical
command, a current run, legacy file-backed state, and an invalid
checkpoint binding.
- Add an opt-in Linux continuity case with a stale full local projection
and two follow-up turns.
- Update execution documentation and the paired session verification
recipes.

## Verification

- RED before the production edit: the executor fixture retained
`pending` in its local command record when the canonical record was
`completed`.
- GREEN on the final commit: 48 focused tests passed across executor
restoration, retained warm owner rotation, per-turn restoration, and
remote settlement guards.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` passed. The server
TypeScript check also passed after the integration fixture was added.
- `node scripts/check-maps.mjs` and `git diff --check` passed.
- The unit fixture uses the real durable controller serializer and the
real executor entry. It stops at current tool authority before
provider/backend creation. It proves restoration and guard behavior, not
full task acceptance.
- Actual protocol RED/GREEN: the same opt-in continuity fixture uses
real PostgreSQL, TLS, the current Linux Rust Runner, and a deterministic
fake Codex backend. With only the executor restored to its parent
revision, continuation fails with
`prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate` in the settlement guard after
one provider turn (20.16 seconds). The PR source completes all three
turns with one provider thread and final suspension (34.77 seconds).
Hard recovery permits one provider-process replacement; the healthy
final follow-up starts no additional process. Both runs use the same
Runner binary and owned container.
- The exact PR executor source was restored after the baseline
comparison, its Git blob was verified, and the worktree is clean. The
disposable local container was removed. This fixture proves the
controlled stale-projection recovery path; it does not establish a live
model or Daytona API result.
- Full current-head CI passes, including typecheck, build, general and
serialized tests, Rust/Runner checks, all eight E2E shards, and the `ci
/ e2e` and `ci / verify` aggregate gates. Greptile is 5/5 on the current
commit, with no unresolved review threads. No original task was retried
and no staging sandbox lifecycle was changed.

## Risks

- Admission without a retained owner performs one additional scoped
checkpoint read when a full prior-run projection already exists.
- The canonical checkpoint must still pass its company, task, session
and record validation. A pending canonical command stays held.
Current-run and retained owner state are not replaced.
- The regression proves a stale local projection defect. It does not
establish that a historical incident had those same local bytes.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The harness does not expose the exact
serving model ID or context-window size. Capabilities: repository
inspection, code generation, tools, and test execution.

DottaandPaperclip db8a273562 fix(native): publish fresh retry sessions for later turns (#18713)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native tasks save a provider session for later comments and monitor
checks.
> - The goal projection also records the run that owns the session event
sequence.
> - A fresh retry uses a new native session, but the projection accepted
only the old session.
> - The accepted checkpoint then rejected session publication because
the goal source still named the old run.
> - This pull request lets the current task executor advance that source
after a terminal predecessor with no unfinished goal.
> - Later turns can then use the fresh retry's saved session.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #12669, #18343. I searched open and closed PRs for source
epochs and native task-session publication. I found no duplicate repair.

**What happened?**

A successful fresh native retry could retain its predecessor's
task-session pointer. A later comment or monitor selected the old
provider session. The goal source transition required both runs to have
the same native session. The terminal checkpoint then saved a
`suppressed_newer` publication result.

**Expected behavior**

The current task executor can publish its accepted fresh session. A
later turn resumes that session. Delayed events cannot restore the old
source or revive a cleared goal.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Complete a native turn and retain its task-session row.
2. Admit a fresh session on the same task without deleting the row.
3. Complete that turn, then send an ordinary follow-up.
4. Before this change, the saved pointer can still name the first
session.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on source commit `36df8933f0` with a PostgreSQL regression
before the production change.

**Deployment mode**

Source checkout. The affected producer runs for local and remote native
sessions.

## What Changed

- Permit a different native session to advance the goal source only when
its run holds the task execution lock and assignee, and the task is in
progress.
- Keep the terminal predecessor, native runtime, runner identity, absent
or completed goal, source sequence, and conversation reset checks.
- Test accepted session publication, a fresh heartbeat followed by an
ordinary resumed turn, stale events, current-owner loss, and unfinished
or unreadable goals.
- Add an opt-in live Codex file-persistence check. Update execution
documentation and both recovery maps.

## Verification

- Red: the new PostgreSQL publication regression failed before the
producer change. The saved session, display ID and goal source still
named the predecessor.
- Green: 72 distinct tests passed across the final focused runs of
`runner-goals.test.ts`, `native-task-session-publication.test.ts`,
`native-session-resumption.test.ts`, and
`remote-warm-session-recovery.test.ts`.
- The assembled heartbeat test admits three turns, opens two provider
sessions, resumes the second session once, and stores three results. It
uses a deterministic provider backend.
- `node scripts/check-maps.mjs` and `git diff --check` passed.
- Real local Codex acceptance passed on macOS arm64 with `gpt-6.1-sol`
and explicit warm mode. Three heartbeat turns saved three exact file
lines. The fresh second turn published its new normalized and provider
session IDs. The ordinary third turn retained both IDs. The fixture
closed its warm owners and removed its private credential copy and
workspace. The production code was at `450e15e`; the final test-only
commit selects explicit warm mode and uses the existing owned-home
cleanup helper. The production change is identical in the final head.
- The earlier per-turn fixture preserved all three file steps and
selected the correct normalized session, but provider-thread reuse
failed. `run.attach` reported that the Codex provider had pending
events; the safe fallback used another provider thread. This remains a
separate failure. The first fixture cleanup also failed on immutable
instruction assets. The owned-home helper fixed cleanup, and the second
per-turn attempt exposed the provider identity assertion directly.
- Full current-head CI passes, including typecheck, build, general and
serialized tests, Rust/Runner checks, all eight E2E shards, and the `ci
/ e2e` and `ci / verify` aggregate gates. Greptile is 5/5 on the current
commit, with no unresolved review threads. Broad local workspace checks
were not duplicated; the focused regressions and actual provider
acceptance above were run locally. No merge, deployment, or recovery of
an original task is included.

## Risks

- Source epoch changes affect saved goal state. The fresh-session path
requires current task authority and refuses unfinished or unreadable
saved goals.
- The change starts no provider work and changes no prior-owner recovery
guard. Unknown external outcomes retain their reconciliation hold.
- A prior session remains held when it lacks the required authority or
state proof.
- Per-turn provider-thread reuse remains an open coverage gap described
above. This change does not alter that attachment guard.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The exact model ID and context window are
unavailable in this session. The agent used code inspection, tools, and
executable tests.

DottaandPaperclip 89e3c23062 fix(daytona): stream files when export copies cannot fit (#18712)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A native task must save its files before finalization can release
its writer.
> - Remote workspace capture can produce an archive that fits on the
sandbox disk.
> - Daytona then makes another copy before it downloads that archive.
> - The second copy can run out of space and leave completed work behind
a save hold.
> - This pull request uses the existing bounded stream when that copy
cannot fit.
> - The benefit is a saved archive without a second archive-sized
sandbox allocation.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #18644 reduced capture scratch space. #18172 added the
disk-free directory export. #18705 preserves provider checkpoints on a
full disk and reports capture failures. This change handles the later
single-file download copy. It does not depend on #18705 and does not
replace its checkpoint fix.

**What happened?**

A native provider turn returned a successful result and captured its
workspace archive. The Daytona outbound file guard then failed with exit
43 and `No space left on device` while it copied the archive to a
reserved download file. Finalization and file-preservation retries could
not pass this boundary. The workspace kept its writer hold.

**Expected behavior**

Download an existing archive through a confined sandbox process when its
second copy cannot fit. Keep the source and all finalization holds until
the normal save commits.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Capture a workspace archive in a Daytona sandbox.
2. Leave less free space than the archive needs for another copy.
3. Finalize the task. The outbound single-file guard fails before
download.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced against `6d72243d8a`. The incident used the native sandbox
runtime. This branch is based on current master.

**Deployment mode**

Cloud with native Paperclip Runner execution and remote workspace
storage.

## What Changed

- Remove partial outbound file copies after a failed snapshot command.
Only copy capacity failures select the stream path. Permission,
confinement, and transport errors still fail.
- Use the existing acknowledged terminal stream to read each file as the
sandbox user. Recheck canonical confinement and regular-file status. Use
a no-follow open. Keep the sandbox disk limit, host free-space reserve,
shared transfer deadline, and bounded teardown.
- Keep host files in private temporary files until the complete batch
has transfer receipts. Never pass a mutable live source to the
privileged download API.
- Add real-file and real-terminal regressions, a disposable Daytona
acceptance case, and workspace verification notes.

## Verification

- Red before repair: a real 5 MiB copy under a controlled file-size
limit failed with exit 43. The same test passes after repair and
compares every source and destination byte.
- The ten capacity cases pass. They cover producer failure after output,
source replacement, stream size limits, permission errors, timeout
teardown, cleanup, and a successful retry. A two-file case completes the
first stream and fails the second. Both old host files stay intact, both
source files survive, and retry saves both files. An isolated
early-publication mutation makes that test fail.
- The initial complete Daytona package suite passes: 537 tests passed, 8
skipped. After the test-only review follow-up, all 60 focused transfer,
stream, and diagnostic tests pass. The package typecheck also passes.
- Real Daytona acceptance passes: an owned Ubuntu 24.04 sandbox stops
and resumes, a copy to `/dev/full` reports ENOSPC, production export
saves the exact archive hash, and a second save after reconnect passes.
The test deletes only its disposable sandbox. This is provider-boundary
acceptance, not a UI journey.
- Assembled finalization acceptance passes with real Postgres and a live
Linux x86_64 Daytona sandbox. The production control-plane port accepts
one fixture result. The production workspace finalizer encounters the
failed copy, saves the files, and commits the task as `done`. A new
database client reads the committed result and exact file hash. The
workspace has no writer or running save, and there is still one run and
one result. No model turn runs. The target resolver is bound to the live
provider fixture. Object storage uses the production encryption and
local-disk service with an S3 admission label; this does not prove an S3
network transfer or a UI journey.
- The live tests used the fixed transfer source with SHA-256
`857b3d8c9ad75170707d95277c17c051ce4582fa79a9c38331d51d2800b36af5`. That
source is identical in this PR head.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passes locally. The duplicate full local test run
passed all six chat shards before it was stopped during the server lane
in favor of completed current-head CI; a duplicate local build was
skipped. Full current-head CI passes, including typecheck, build,
general and serialized tests, Rust/Runner checks, all eight E2E shards,
and the `ci / e2e` and `ci / verify` aggregate gates.
- Greptile is 5/5 on the current commit with no unresolved review
threads.
- `node scripts/check-maps.mjs` and `git diff --check` pass. Map checks
prove structure only.

## Risks

- The fallback requires the Bash and GNU `dd`/`base64` tools already
required by the existing stream path.
- Terminal streaming is slower than the normal bulk download. It runs
only after a copy capacity failure.
- The workspace capture itself still needs sandbox space. This change
does not fix a full disk before an archive exists.
- The test injects a failed copy sink. It does not exhaust a shared host
disk. No original task was retried, and no deployment or merge is part
of this PR.
- No schema, API permission, writer ownership, or retry-budget change.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository inspection, code
editing, shell tools, browser diagnostics, and automated tests. The
exact serving variant and context-window size are not exposed in this
session.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

**Paperclip version or commit**

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 6d72243d8a fix(runtime): recover task creation after a lost acquire reply (#18692)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent execution and the resources that execution
owns.
> - A retained environment task can need a replacement before the next
turn.
> - Core records the creation attempt before it asks the provider to
acquire it.
> - A lost reply can leave that journal without the resource ID needed
for cleanup.
> - This change lets an opted-in provider recover the identity from that
recorded attempt.
> - Core still requires the existing exact-task termination proof before
it releases ownership.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18405 and #18658. This is the separate lost-reply follow-up from
their recovery audit.

**Draft status:** Both prior review findings are fixed in
`a66520c8d4e06e0eec6ccb5446190ace0ca3003f`. Fresh standard Greptile is
5/5 with no unresolved threads. Current-head CI is green (53 successful
checks/statuses including Snyk, three expected skips). Apex completed
5/5 on this exact head at 2026-11-03T00:54:59Z (request 6592407130),
with no unresolved threads. The review cycle is complete; the PR remains
draft for human merge review.

**What happened?**

If a replacement task's acquire reply is never received, the creation
journal can reach manual reconciliation without a resource ID. Startup
cleanup cannot complete, and ordinary Stop cannot release the run owner.

**Expected behavior**

When the selected provider supports creation inspection, Core should
retain enough binding information to inspect the recorded attempt and
continue verified cleanup. An inspected identity must not count as
termination proof.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Use a retained task whose provider supports creation inspection.
2. Lose the replacement acquire reply before Core records its resource
ID.
3. Restart cleanup and inspect the existing creation journal.
4. Confirm that the exact task is stopped and its termination receipt is
saved before cancellation releases the owner.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Current head `a66520c8d4e06e0eec6ccb5446190ace0ca3003f`, based on master
`3a7bb4dac62dbd7a34a55deb665c55df310bdf64`. Tested with isolated
PostgreSQL fixtures.

**Deployment mode**

Local source tests with controlled provider responses. No deployment or
live model request.

## What Changed

- Save the selected inspection capability and prior opaque binding in
the existing creation journal. Acquire through that same worker so a
worker replacement cannot change the recorded contract.
- Make failed opted-in creations due through the existing cleanup
notification and saved retry deadline.
- Add optional SDK observation field `creationLease`. Use it only to
recover the requested creation's identity and binding, then follow the
existing Stop, status, completion and receipt checks.
- Keep old entries and providers without the recorded opt-in under their
existing reconciliation policy.
- Add actual PostgreSQL recovery, cancellation and worker-replacement
regressions. Document the provider contract.

## Verification

- Current correction: 53 distinct targeted cases pass (20 real-worker
IPC, 12 task-recovery PostgreSQL and 21 generic-sandbox cases), with
server typechecking. The IPC selection was rerun after the final
late-observation ordering refinement; the other tested sources were
unchanged.
- An assembled live-child IPC and PostgreSQL case proves cleanup and
cancellation release the owner despite the original worker never
replying and remaining alive. Accepted host work, unrelated acquisitions
and late observations remain accounted for. Removing the recovery
handoff and restoring the old drain snapshot produce distinct assertion
failures.
- The unsupported-host control skips all 12 PostgreSQL cases without
setup; removing the guard fails the controlled setup. These tests do not
constitute live VM/provider qualification.
- Initial head `5db6882` passed an exact reference-tree comparison
against master plus the reviewed follow-up patch, 97 targeted cases and
server typechecking. Those checks predate the final inspection
correction.
- Previous head `59f87fa` passed 32 targeted cases (11 task-recovery and
21 generic-sandbox cases) and server typechecking. Both `pending` and
`needs_reconciliation` observations without `creationLease` preserve
ownership and get a future retry deadline. Restoring the previous guard
makes both new cases fail.
- The reproduced failure was a wrong generic cleanup shape that could
resolve its journal while leaving the owner held—not a demonstrated
false ownership release. The correction reuses the existing
missing-identity guard before the generic decoder and leaves generic
sandbox behavior unchanged.
- Earlier affected selection: 72 cases passed on the original follow-up
base. This overlaps the final selection and is not an additional count
of unique final-head tests.
- Two isolated negative controls restore the missing task inspection and
redirected-worker behaviors. Both fail at the expected recovery and
dispatch assertions without changing production source files.
- The PostgreSQL cases verify one cleanup lease, both late-result
orders, recovery after the old journal deadline, ordinary legacy
behavior, retained ownership on missing or mismatched identity, and
cancellation acknowledgement after exact termination proof.
- The tests use actual database and run-control services with controlled
worker callbacks. They do not prove live IPC or production recovery
timing.
- A compatible provider is needed for the new recovery path. No normal
successful-startup database or network call is added. No ordinary TTFT
improvement is claimed; the repair removes an indefinite ownership hold
for supported lost replies. No full local CI suite was run; GitHub runs
the full regression gates.

## Risks

The provider must recover the identity for the recorded creation
operation and preserve its selected binding. `creationLease` does not
authorize a new turn or prove that a process stopped. Older journal
entries do not infer a new identity after an upgrade. Unavailable
original machine bindings or credentials retain the existing uncertainty
behavior; this change does not repair machine or credential loss. No
schema migration, deployment or ROM qualification is included.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. Exact model ID and context window are not
exposed in this session. Tool-assisted implementation, targeted tests
and independent subagent review.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

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

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

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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