DottaandPaperclip 124b2cd0ad fix(server): certify background deadlines for idle tenants (#19001)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Background services own future checks, retries, and recovery work.
> - An idle tenant can stop only when a durable wake covers its
remaining duties.
> - The current alarm catalog covers several domains but leaves these
owners blocked.
> - A saved future timestamp alone cannot prove that reconstruction or
admitted work has settled.
> - This pull request binds durable domain snapshots to the actual
registered worker revisions.
> - The tenant can hand off supported future duties and retain all
checks for uncertain or active work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No matching public issue was found. Related work: [domain deadline
handoff #18656](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18656),
[owned blocker diagnostics
#18632](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18632), and
[completed history proof
#18646](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18646). The
separate [native idle-session change
#18988](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18988) covers
runtime retirement. [Far-future retry re-probes
#13534](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13534) changes
recovery responsiveness after an upstream success; this change preserves
existing retry decisions.

**What happened?**

Future status-card, external-object, skill-sync, watchdog, retry, and
quota duties lacked complete owner-bound coverage in the idle deadline
proof. A completed quota task could also retain its monitor policy and
timestamp and remain blocked after the scheduler had disarmed it.

**Expected behavior**

A settled registered owner can hand off its exact supported future
deadline. Active work, dirty reconstruction, transaction uncertainty,
changed revisions, claims, unknown state, and unsupported duties keep
the tenant awake. Completed history retains its data and stops recurring
work when the owner has no remaining duty.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Produce a supported future duty through its normal service.
2. Let the registered worker finish reconstruction and admitted work.
3. Request an owned idle report with the negotiated domain deadline
catalog.
4. Check the saved earliest deadline and generation before durable alarm
registration.
5. Stop and reconstruct the worker. Check that ordinary admission and
claims resume useful work once due.
6. Complete a quota task. Keep its saved policy and timestamp. Check
that linked unfinished work still blocks sleep and that settled history
does not.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The owned patch was qualified at
`699c8569fa34338dd75cdc5731381ec1e2efdb45`. Publication head
`491fac368ee72eaac8ae105d53e6bf6b305d8a6a` normally merges actual master
`039e0dad2c51c80251e1302a19c5566e039c357a`. All 43 owned files are
byte-identical. All 29 new upstream paths are preserved. The later
normal current-master integration is
`8c912e1ba4fc66397a7341ade59373af8075068f`, described separately below.

**Deployment mode**

Source checkout with real PostgreSQL 17 and a controlled local Node
process. No deployed alarm, tenant suspension, database suspension, or
fleet result is claimed.

## What Changed

- Add registered-worker reconciliation revisions and invalidate them on
stop.
- Keep status-card, external-object, and skill deadline interpretation
with their owners.
- Reuse the watchdog classifier against the supplied database snapshot.
- Validate the exact saved retry run and paired queued wake.
- Validate legacy quota source bindings and the current assignee or
reviewer policy.
- Preserve common issue scope, dependency, sibling, and state checks for
covered waits.
- Compose normalized owner snapshots within the existing bounded
deadline proof and recheck revisions after inspection.
- Bind actual service and worker instances from server startup. Missing
bindings preserve existing blockers.
- Retain completed quota policy and timestamps while independently
rejecting linked unfinished runs or wakes.
- Block unconsumed budget evaluation inputs through the owning queue
predicate. Accounting policy and settlement stay unchanged.
- Bind completed quota history through fixed-size UUID-array parameters,
preserve exact company/task/source associations, and guard external
references before the run-ID join.
- Batch watchdog subtrees and shared classifier facts without changing
the 64-query or two-second proof budget; preserve exact company pairing
for first-run evidence.
- Extend production-path regression controls and document supported
coverage and limits.

## Verification

Current integration head: `688abc6cac6016b9fb50e5832f81e2975ed5d49f`.
Fresh exact-head checks completed with **58 successes, three intentional
skips and one neutral review**, including aggregate `ci / verify`. The
complete current Greptile review is **5/5**. The complete current
Ponytail verdict is **Ship (4/5)**, with only optional cleanup of an
unused MCP proof input; both prior correctness findings are resolved.
All review threads and nested pages were inspected. The normal master
merges preserve the registered retry deadline owner and current startup
completion log after the same readiness await. The earlier focused
evidence below remains tied to its tested source revisions.


Current-master integration `8c912e1ba4fc66397a7341ade59373af8075068f`:

- Normally merge actual master
`46fb933b0155d183ce64a8bdc4950d1b58c926f6`. Every nonoverlapping tree
blob retains its owning parent across 14,044 paths. All 42 owner-only
files and 15 critical binding/proof/readiness files remain
byte-identical. Three automatic overlaps preserve the existing watchdog
binding, conservative unavailable-reader fallback and optional actual
owner arguments. The two scoped-deadline conflicts retain the entire
upstream resource-reservation/mid-pass admission/abort algorithm inside
the existing reconciliation revision/running/failure fence, with both
parent test sets.
- Actual TypeScript 7.0.2 server noEmit passed in 9.434 seconds, normal
source declaration layers in 12.102 seconds, and four selected
test/helper/config layers extending the actual CI configuration in 3.167
seconds. No compiler option weakening, heap override, donor declarations
or SDK replacement stub.
- Focused PG0 controls passed: 102 scheduler/proof/owner controls in
16.451 seconds, including all 21 scoped-deadline cases; 121 startup
controls; and all 107 unchanged instance-settings route cases in 6.456
seconds. The latter first hit a local prewire-guard
listener-registration race. Only the ignored guard was corrected to
register the same actual OS-bound server port immediately after native
listen returns. Closed, unknown, foreign, offhost and PG destinations
remain blocked. Original failure evidence is retained; product code and
assertions were unchanged.
- The exact current UI policy command now reports zero findings (0.362
seconds); its seven scanner controls pass. The earlier dependent PR used
an old scanner/source baseline under a newly enforcing trusted workflow
and reported 397 findings. Carrying the genuine current master resolves
that mismatch without editing unrelated UI sites or relaxing the gate.
- Every meaningful worker checked its executing PID/thread/preload hash
and matching receipt. PG0 controls opened no PostgreSQL sockets; all
owned processes exited. Original dependency-cache/DNS, ignored-harness
syntax/type and guard failures remain separate from product results.
- This is fresh semantic and focused runtime qualification, not a local
whole-repository or current-head PostgreSQL acceptance rerun. The
upstream workspace-busy parked-retry/terminal-holder notification path
remains unchanged by this merge and needs its separate current-graph
producer check. Historical six-case/scale results below stay tied to
their measured sources. A matching controlled default-cadence follow-up
is in #19191; no fresh current-head two-cycle or deployed suspension
claim follows from this merge.
- All 59 exact-head check contexts now pass (55 success, one neutral,
three intentional skips), plus the legacy security status. The complete
edited Greptile review is 5/5 for this exact commit, with all
root/nested pages inspected and no unresolved threads. Ponytail stopped
without completing its new turn; it supplied no new verdict or finding.
Prior actual findings remain addressed. Earlier scores/checks below
belong to their explicit earlier commits.


On frozen clean merged source `699c8569fa`:

- Real PostgreSQL acceptance: **6/6 passed**,83.483 seconds wall. Actual
retry producer creates the exact saved run/wake; stopped and
reconstructed owner resumes through current admission, one durable
start, real local process output and normal task completion. Includes
cancellation, drain arrival, retained quota history with queued-run/wake
negatives, watchdog review settlement and budget-input
empty/pending/consumed control using the actual owner.
- Affected coordinator, deadline, scoped-deadline, recovery and
composed-proof controls: **78/78 in five files passed**,32.114 seconds
wall, worker 1/no file parallelism.
- `pnpm exec tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json`: **passed**,17.467
seconds. Native TypeScript 7.0.2 and Node 24.22.2.
- PostgreSQL tests use one dedicated test database, matching
fixture/admin URLs, pool limit four, one worker, and no embedded
fallback. Every run recorded unchanged source hashes and a clean
checkout.
- The eight-second real-clock retry is a domain execution check. It is
below the Cloud minimum wake lead and is not a positive accepted hosted
sleep cycle.
- The completed quota-history product failure and original
fixture/protocol failures were preserved; the owning-reader fix passed a
real PostgreSQL red/green regression before the fresh merged six-case
pass.
- After runtime completion, the dedicated database had zero other
clients and no owned runtime processes. All three qualification process
PIDs exited. The coordinator independently audits and drops the
database.
- Comment-only cleanup has equal strict TypeScript parser ASTs across 15
files. The final lexical audit finds no added comments relative to
actual master. `git diff --check` passed.
- Earlier retry fixtures omitted responsible-user membership, advanced
JavaScript time past the real PostgreSQL lease clock, or produced stdout
without normal task completion. Corrected fixtures use real membership,
an eight-second real deadline, and ordinary task comment/completion. The
last case exposed legitimate disposition repair rather than duplicate
retry promotion.
- The quota and watchdog controls first ran before admitted work or the
existing 30-second reconstruction duty settled. The stronger tests
require an interim blocked report and then exact settled-owner proof.
Production deadlines were not changed. The separate
completed-quota-history defect was fixed in its reader and verified with
linked unfinished-run and wake controls.
- The status/object and skill owners reviewed the actual final startup,
route and post-backup bindings. Their domain source evidence carries
where token-equivalent. The master coordinator coalescing change was
reviewed separately. Historical domain PostgreSQL results are not
presented as fresh full-suite results on this head.

The later master merge adds retry predecessor cleanup checks under the
existing issue claim lock. The source audit confirms unchanged saved
deadlines and run/wake identities. The three actual retry
lifecycle/cancellation/drain cases passed on the batched candidate with
this parent (31.817 seconds). Those local dependency controls preceded
the current exact-head remote run. Native backup preservation and
TestOps changes from master are retained. No pass is inferred for
changed dependency behavior solely from unchanged owned files.

Review repair published as `643f1e7400`:

- The original reader returned `unknown` after seven actual watchdog
reviews settled across seven companies. The unchanged composed-report
regression passed after batching; the final reader passed in 61.841
seconds, including active queued-work and stopped-owner rejection.
- A separate two-company red/green control rejects terminal-run context
from another company as first-run grace evidence. Shared facts are
serialized once, with per-root IDs and review summaries.
- The affected recovery, proof and diagnostic unit controls passed 47/47
(14.575 seconds). Startup owner-contract fixtures passed 121/121 (10.589
seconds).
- Diagnostic PostgreSQL controls passed7/7 (12.406 seconds), including
the normal budget-input producer and its exact blocker reason. Initial
empty-state setup uses the same cleanup as per-case teardown when a
dedicated test database is reused.
- Actual repository `pnpm exec tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json`
passed 12.710 seconds with no heap override. Final source has no added
code comments; whitespace checks pass.
- The original query-budget failure, two-company discriminator, initial
cross-suite fixture failure and an interrupted incorrect local-driver
selector are retained separately. The interrupted run is not a pass.
Independent cleanup found zero owned clients or runtime processes.

Quota-scale repair published as `6696a37f8a`:

- The exact 10,000-row completed-history case reproduced
`MAX_PARAMETERS_EXCEEDED`:90,002 bound parameters exceeded the driver's
65,534 limit, and the composed report returned `unknown` despite settled
owners. Original failure and actual driver diagnostics are retained.
- Fixed pending-work queries use three typed UUID-array parameters plus
the result limit, keeping exact company/issue/source tuple bindings. The
primary run-ID column stays uncast; a guarded CASE validates the raw
external reference before conversion. The 10,000-row cap and
64-query/two-second proof budget are unchanged.
- The same 10,000-row composed-report case passed 18.860 seconds, with
unfinished run/wake rejection, malformed-reference safety and
conservative 10,001-row overflow. Its fixture derives retained history
from the actual quota producer and normal task completion, expands valid
persisted issue/source pairs, then starts the actual registered owners.
- The existing actual quota producer case passed 14.187 seconds,
including exact future deadline, retained completion history, unfinished
work, real foreign-company source references and noncanonical/malformed
references.
- Affected owner/proof controls passed 22/22 (26.444 seconds).
Production server noEmit passed 16.039 seconds.
- CI on 643 identified TS7034/TS7005 in the settled-watchdog fixture's
initially untyped collection. It is now explicitly typed. A separate
affected-entry semantic check extending the repository's actual
`server/src/__tests__/tsconfig.json` passed 15.093 seconds: six affected
tests, two owner files, ambient declarations and current imported
source, with unchanged strict/module/lib/path settings. The production
server config excludes that test directory and is not presented as
test-layer proof. No custom suppression or replacement SDK stub was
added.
- All runs were sequential with pool max 4, worker 1,
source/config/command hashes and cleared inherited
provider/LIVE/other-database variables. Cleanup found zero owned
database clients or local runtime processes. At prior head
`6696a37f8a5718cd0f79054969a0084462d41d47`, all required CI gates pass.
The exact-head inventory has 55 successes, one neutral review and three
intentional skips. Greptile is 5/5. The complete latest Ponytail verdict
confirms the quota finding is fixed; its only remaining note is optional
unused MCP proof state, not a behavior defect. All three review threads
are resolved. The earlier 643 result remains historical.

The repository-wide typecheck, tests, build and browser gates passed in
the prior `6696a37f8a5718cd0f79054969a0084462d41d47` CI run. The new
`8c912e1ba4fc66397a7341ade59373af8075068f` full CI also passes. They
were not run as a full local workspace command in the focused PostgreSQL
lease. Local evidence above uses bounded external databases and does not
claim embedded-cluster, live-provider or deployed-alarm qualification.

## Risks

- An unsupported or uncertain owner state must remain blocked. An
optimistic exemption could lose work while compute is stopped.
- Changes during reconstruction or inspection must invalidate the proof.
A memory-only timer is not durable alarm coverage.
- Current authorization, budgets, cancellation, accounting, and resource
ownership still apply on dispatch. The proof does not grant execution
authority.
- The supported writer model uses in-process transaction signals and
startup/resume reconstruction. Independent SQL writers and other
replicas need an explicit wake contract.
- Native, review, coalesced, and taskless retry variants remain
conservative until their owner cases qualify. Reviewer quota and hosted
alarm qualification remain open.
- The shared catalog remains opt-in. Legacy callers and missing owner
bindings retain their old blockers.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` was the configured model for the delegated service
implementations and reviews. OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, performed
managing review and integration. Both used repository tools and code
execution. The exact served backend snapshots and context-window limits
were not exposed.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 871a9b3180 test(restart-chaos): add Phase 1 control-plane restart chaos harness (#19477)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The control plane owns task execution, recovery and Retry for every
agent run
> - Server restarts were the largest remaining source of stalled tasks
in the staging soak campaign
> - The soak could only observe restarts that staging happened to
perform, so a failure could not be repeated
> - This pull request adds a script harness that causes the restarts on
purpose and grades each task on fixed rules
> - The benefit is a repeatable restart failure with a replay command
and an evidence bundle for each fixer

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The restart test coverage. Today the runner-e2e restart cells test one
fixed restart point per cell. They cannot run many tasks at once, cannot
choose a random fault time, and cannot replay a failure.

**Subsystem affected**
Test tooling (`tests/restart-chaos/`). It reuses the runner-e2e process
code in `tests/runner-e2e/`. Product code does not change.

**Current behavior**
Restart robustness is checked through a small set of fixed cells. A
random restart during a real task has no defined pass rule.

**Proposed behavior**
A harness starts an isolated control plane and seeds a "Chaos Lab"
company. It launches seeded workloads, injects K1, K2 or K4 faults at
seeded times, and grades each task on rules R1 to R6 plus a
deterministic task oracle. `--replay <wave>/<task>` repeats one task.

**Reason and benefit**
Fixers get a replay command and an evidence bundle for each failure
signature. The first smoke wave already found three product signatures
(dead Retry after a restart, a false over-budget stop after restarts,
and an OpenCode turn killed mid-turn that ends as a provider failure).

**Breaking changes**
None. The change adds new test files, one entry in the test-project
typecheck list and a gitignore entry.

## What Changed

- Add `tests/restart-chaos/`:
- `supervisor.ts` owns one isolated server. It reuses
`replaceController`, the process-tree stopper, the environment isolation
helpers, the config seed, the port reservation, the wrapper-owned
Postgres and `server-entry.ts` from `tests/runner-e2e/`. It does not
copy them. Faults: K1 (SIGKILL, immediate restart), K2 (SIGTERM,
restart) and K4 (SIGKILL, 2 to 5 minute hold). Postgres and the
controller runtime cache stay across a fault.
- `seed.ts` creates the company, encrypted provider secrets, native
Codex, ACPX Claude and OpenCode agents from the runner-e2e catalog, and
the `chaos-sandbox` project. The project is a git repository with a
Python CLI, one failing test and a four-minute `bench.sh`.
- `scheduler.ts` makes a seeded plan of workload, adapter, fault, fire
time, hold and nonce for each task. It saves the plan so that `--replay`
can run one task again.
- `observer.ts` polls each issue and its runs. When a task stops and
offers Retry, it sends `POST /api/issues/:id/retry` one time, with the
same body as `useTaskRetry.ts`.
- `grader.ts` grades R1 to R6 as pure functions. `workloads.ts` defines
workloads A1, B1, B5 and C1 and their oracles.
- `evidence.ts` and `ledger.ts` write an evidence bundle for each
failure, a JSONL ledger and `SUMMARY.md`. All results go to the
gitignored `tests/restart-chaos/results/`. Known provider key values are
redacted.
- Unit tests: `scheduler.test.ts` (determinism, replay and CLI parsing)
and `grader.test.ts` (R1 to R6 and the oracles on fixture timelines).
These tests need no credentials.
- Add `tests/restart-chaos` to the test-project typecheck list
(`scripts/typecheck-test-projects.mjs`), with a `tsconfig.layers.json`
like `tests/runner-e2e`. The harness runs through direct script
invocations, not `package.json` scripts.
- After the first Greptile review:
- A failed fault or an unexpected server exit now gets one bounded
recovery. If the recovery fails, the wave fails and does not hang.
- Incomplete cleanup is now a harness error, and the harness keeps the
instance.
- After the C1 follow-up comment, the observer needs a fresh rest window
before it grades the task.
- `--replay` now fires the recorded faults that crossed the task, at the
same offsets, including the faults that other tasks requested.
- A failed workspace-operation read is now a sweep error. It cannot give
a clean rest.
- R2 now checks that workspace files from before the first fault still
exist at rest.
- B5 now needs the completion record that `bench.sh` writes for each
task.
- After the second round of reviews:
- An idle `todo` or `in_progress` task with no live run and no named
wait is no longer treated as resting. The observer keeps watching it
until the task resumes or passes the R5 stall limit.
  - A failed injected fault now fails the wave with exit 2.
- T-oracle commands run agent-editable code. They now run under a macOS
Seatbelt sandbox with a scratch `HOME` and no network, and they cannot
read the operator's home directory. On other platforms these commands
are refused unless the operator explicitly allows them.
- R4 now counts every active run. A wake comment may be served again
only after a run that did not succeed.
- Evidence redaction now covers every environment variable name that
ends in `KEY`, `TOKEN`, `SECRET` or `PASSWORD`.
- If the pre-fault snapshot fails, only R2 for that task is left
unchecked. The wave continues.
- B5 also needs bench progress that the harness observed while it
polled.
- Add `doc/plans/2026-11-06-control-plane-restart-chaos.md` and its
campaign ledger.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run --config tests/restart-chaos/vitest.config.ts`:
38 tests pass. The tests include observer tests with a fake API, a real
`bench.sh` run, and a sandbox test that cannot read a canary secret.
- `node scripts/typecheck-test-projects.mjs tests/restart-chaos`:
passes.
- `server/scripts/typecheck-layers.test.mjs`: 45 tests pass, including
"covers every project under tests/".
- A supervisor check with no credentials passed. K1 was ready again in
about 6 seconds. K2 with a 3-second hold was ready again in about 9
seconds. Company data stayed readable.
- One paid smoke wave ran: `--env local --adapters codex,claude,opencode
--workloads A1,B1,C1 --faults K1 --tasks 3 --concurrency 2 --seed 7`.
The harness worked from start to end, and all three tasks crossed a
restart. The 0/3 result comes from product failures, which the campaign
ledger records. A scan found no provider key in the results.
- To run a wave:

  ```sh
  pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner build:runner-binaries
  set -a; source ~/.secrets; set +a
node cli/node_modules/tsx/dist/cli.mjs tests/restart-chaos/main.ts --env
local --adapters codex,claude,opencode --concurrency 4 --tasks 8
--faults K1,K2,K4 --seed 42
node cli/node_modules/tsx/dist/cli.mjs tests/restart-chaos/main.ts
--replay <wave>/<task>
  ```

## Risks

- Low product risk. The change adds test tooling only and does not
change product code.
- A wave spends provider money. The company budget hard cap
(`--budget-cents`, default 3000) is the only spend limit. The plan's
per-wave and per-night refusal is not implemented yet.
- Known gaps:
- `--env daytona` is reserved. It fails with a TODO in `seed.ts`. The
Daytona sandbox sweep for R6 is not implemented yet.
- The project requests isolated git-worktree workspaces. A B1 task still
ran in the shared fixture repository. Concurrent B1 and B5 tasks can
share files. The oracles use marker files for each task.
- Only K1, K2 and K4 at seeded random times are available. Boundary
triggers (B1 to B16), other faults and the UI probe come in Phase 2.
  - The paid smoke did not exercise B5 or K4.
- On macOS, B1 oracle commands need `python3` outside the operator's
home directory, for example `/usr/bin` or Homebrew. On Linux they are
refused until a sandbox is added.
- The B5 proof is best-effort against a deliberately adversarial agent,
because that agent can write to the workspace.
- Startup phase timings come from polling `/api/ready`. The server
records its own timings only as OpenTelemetry spans.
- `pnpm verify` and the CI Vitest jobs do not select these unit tests.
The root Vitest projects cover workspace packages only. CI typechecks
the files, but the tests run only through the vitest command above.
- After the smoke, rest detection and the review fixes changed. A
recovery action that the board owns now counts as a rest, and R6 reports
it. A paid wave did not run again after these changes.

DottaandPaperclip c0214826b3 fix(workspaces): preserve pending repository requests during import (#19439)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent work and its saved files.
> - An ephemeral web server needs remote workspace authority before the
old volume can detach.
> - A task can have a repository request that has never prepared a
checkout.
> - The offline importer currently treats that pending request as
unfinished file publication.
> - This blocks migration even when the target does not exist and there
is no saved commit, branch or failure.
> - This pull request preserves that request in the database and imports
the existing files separately.
> - The next authorized sandbox preparation can acquire the repository
through its existing owner.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

On Core `253bf071f0a496554b61fff897ad3f11afaf8766`, offline migration of
a volume-backed workspace fails with `repository_preparation_unresolved`
for an untouched pending repository request. The requested directory has
never existed. The request has no pinned commit, branch or failure.

**Expected behavior**

Preserve the pending request and all existing files. Do not label the
absent checkout as part of a saved archive. Keep partial publication and
active preparation blocked.

**Steps to reproduce**

Create a local task workspace. Add an unmaterialized pending repository
request. Run the canonical offline importer after stopping writers. The
unchanged importer rejects the request before preserving the workspace.

Related migration work: #19429. A GitHub search found no duplicate
pending-repository import fix or matching public issue.

## What Changed

- Admit an untouched pending request only at the existing offline writer
fence and after proving its target is absent.
- Keep the database request unchanged and exclude it from materialized
snapshot descriptors.
- Recheck file absence and source identity before publication. Reject a
request that becomes ready during capture.
- Cover cold filesystem loss, real sandbox-side Git acquisition, and
eleven blocked states. Document the preservation contract.

## Verification

- Red: the new real PostgreSQL/filesystem regression fails on the
unchanged importer with `repository_preparation_unresolved`.
- Green: both affected migration/lifecycle suites pass, **236 tests**.
The cold test deletes the predecessor directory, restores saved bytes,
and acquires the pending repository through the full admission owner,
checking ready state and the pinned commit. Real Git runs against a
local HTTP origin through an exact-URL redirect at the sandbox transport
boundary. It does not claim live Daytona or GitHub qualification.
- Full workspace typecheck and build pass at the final head. Both
affected suites pass **236 tests**, including the full admission owner
and eleven blocked states. All final-head CI checks pass: **54 success,
2 skipped, 1 neutral**. Greptile is **5/5**, with no unresolved review
threads.
- The full local test command failed in `recovers lost inline and check
responses without duplicate GitHub publications` in the chat integration
suite. That exact case passes in a fresh isolated invocation. Its cause
remains unclassified; this is not a full-local-suite pass claim. The
original failure is retained alongside the isolated result.
- No candidate code has been applied to the serving instance.

## Risks

- The exception applies only to offline migration and a pending request
with no target, commit, branch or failure. Unreadable paths, symlinks,
partial directories and active/repair states retain their blockers.
- Requests retain normal repository authorization and acquisition
behavior. This change neither fetches repositories during migration nor
marks requests ready.
- A changed materialized source aborts publication and leaves original
files intact.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning and tool use. The exact
deployment variant and context-window size are not exposed in this

DottaandPaperclip 253bf071f0 fix(workspaces): preserve resolved pending merges in snapshots (#19429)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Task workspaces must survive replacement of the web server.
> - Workspace snapshots therefore preserve both files and portable Git
state.
> - A resolved merge can still await its merge commit.
> - The archive rejected this state, so an existing workspace could not
migrate.
> - This pull request saves and checks the complete supported merge
state.
> - The benefit is that migration preserves the user's choice to
continue or abort the merge.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A legacy workspace contained a resolved merge with `MERGE_HEAD`,
`MERGE_MODE`, `MERGE_MSG`, `ORIG_HEAD`, and `AUTO_MERGE`. Its index had
no unresolved entries. The snapshot owner refused the operation. This
kept the original safe but blocked migration.

**Expected behavior**

Save this supported state without changing the source. Restore it
without the original repository, borrowed object store, or linked
worktree. Retain the merge parents, selected index, later edits, and
Git's normal safety checks.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Merge two branches that conflict.
2. Resolve and stage the conflict. Leave the merge uncommitted.
3. Capture the workspace. The base implementation rejects the merge
marker.

Related prior work: #19310 preserves an inactive rebase bookmark. No
duplicate open merge-preservation PR was found. This is a workspace
preservation fix, not a new roadmap feature.

## What Changed

- Admit only resolved pending merges with valid, bounded metadata and
available objects.
- Retain and verify the merge mode, message, parents, original head,
automatic merge tree, and index.
- Verify copied metadata and object closure before publication. Keep the
before/after source checks.
- Keep unresolved conflicts, autostash, rerere, mixed operations,
malformed state, and unsafe links blocked.
- Test real ordinary, linked, and borrowed repositories through local
and serialized capture. Delete all original sources before continuing or
aborting the restored merge.
- Document the supported state and the remaining refusal cases.

## Verification

- Six new continuation cases fail against the unchanged base at the
pending-operation guard.
- The first candidate restored and continued the merges, but six abort
assertions failed. The fixture rewrote the worktree without updating
Git's index cache. It now first verifies that abort protects later
edits, uses normal `git restore` to discard those fixture edits, then
aborts. No archive assertion was removed.
- The final archive and environment suites pass all 98 tests at
`3c87d13d1b`, including linked-metadata protections and pending merges
in ordinary, linked, borrowed, shallow, partial, and SHA-256
repositories. All 12 local/serialized continuation cases pass after
source removal.
- Full repository build and typecheck pass at `1544cc4a90`. The build
first found a nullability error; an explicit rejection return fixed it.
- The first full local test attempt stopped before tests ran because
omitted package postinstall steps left PostgreSQL library links absent.
Direct `initdb --version` reproduced the missing-library failure.
Restoring the package links made that probe pass; the full test rerun is
active.
- The initial typecheck also found missing excluded-plugin SDK links
after the same install. Running the repository postinstall link helper
corrected this, and the full typecheck now passes.
- All current-head CI gates pass at `3c87d13d1b`: 54 success, 2 skipped,
1 neutral. Fresh Greptile is 5/5 and no review threads remain open.
- Review requested shallow and SHA-256 coverage. The current commit adds
both plus partial-clone coverage; all 98 archive tests and the full
server typecheck pass.
- All six local chat shards pass. The monolithic local general-suite run
reports one viewer-permission test failure and remains active. That
exact test passes alone, and its full 505-test file also passes alone.
The original failure cause is unresolved; this is not a full local-suite
PASS. The complete current-head CI suite is green.

## Risks

- This widens capture eligibility only for the checked resolved-merge
state. No migration commits or aborts the source operation.
- A missing object or changed metadata still blocks publication and
retains the source.
- Unresolved merges and other operation formats remain unsupported.
Their preservation guard is unchanged.

DottaandPaperclip c1d567ff6a fix(workspaces): isolate archived nested Git reconstruction (#19409)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Durable workspace import must preserve archived task files and Git
history.
> - A saved nested checkout can be a linked worktree whose branch
belongs to its old absolute path.
> - Archived import reconstructs that checkout in a new scratch
directory.
> - Ordinary linked recovery rejects the old branch at that new path. It
can also write into a cache used by other import workers.
> - This pull request reconstructs archived nested checkouts as private
standalone repositories.
> - Each import preserves saved files and extra history without changing
shared worktree registrations or branches.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
Archived workspace import fails when a saved nested linked checkout has
a branch owned by the old path. The new scratch path fails the
linked-worktree ownership check. The existing cache lock is
process-local, so separate import processes also share mutable Git state
without a common lock.

**Expected behavior**
Archived import must create an independent portable copy of the saved
checkout. It must retain the saved commit, branch name, staged edits,
working files, ignored recovery files, settings, and extra saved
commits. It must keep the source cache unchanged and enforce source
authorization.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create a managed nested linked checkout with an unpushed commit and
staged and unstaged edits.
2. Save an encrypted restore point, including ignored files and an extra
history tip.
3. Restore its saved contents under a different absolute workspace path.
4. Before this repair, the new path cannot adopt the branch owned by the
old path.

**Paperclip version or commit**
The real Git regression fails before the repair at `fc1f5f3052`. The
final branch includes the merged interrupted-upload and nested-source
authorization fix from #19396.

**Deployment mode**
Archived remote workspace migration with real Git repositories,
disposable PostgreSQL, and encrypted object storage. Local integration
tests use the filesystem storage provider.

Builds on merged #19402 and #19396. Related #19374 concerns interrupted
clone staging; it does not implement private archived reconstruction. No
duplicate open repair was found.

## What Changed

- Enable private repository reconstruction only for archived migration.
Ordinary linked recovery keeps its path ownership guard.
- Add an object-only source to the managed checkout owner. A verified
cache supplies only the saved commit and authenticated bundle
prerequisites through scoped fetches. The private copy includes no
unrelated task refs or objects, hard links, object alternates, or
current cache files.
- Fetch missing authenticated bundle prerequisites before importing a
saved bundle in both private reconstruction and ordinary linked
recovery. A pruned cache can use the approved remote; unavailable
history still blocks restore.
- Keep every authenticated restore point's extra commit under a private
ref in root and nested private copies so portable archive capture and
garbage collection retain it. Ordinary recovery keeps its existing
history and expiration rules.
- Share the verified, bounded ignore-file copy between root and nested
reconstruction. Sources remain unchanged.
- Retain source authorization before and after reconstruction and the
final source-row locks from #19396.
- Test concurrent private copies, source rejection, foreign task refs
and objects, ordinary linked prerequisite recovery, a real migration,
and cold restore after removing all original repositories. Test hard
links, oversized excludes, unsafe info paths, and replacement during a
descriptor read.

## Verification

- Final affected run: 292 tests pass across ten suites. These cover real
Git repositories, encrypted restore points, disposable PostgreSQL
migration, portable archives, the restore-point ledger, source
rejection, and concurrent copies.
- Full repository typecheck and build pass after the scoped-object
repair. Final server typecheck and full build also pass after
restricting preserved refs to archive mode.
- RED then GREEN: a linked checkout at a different path; a pruned bundle
prerequisite still available from the approved remote; foreign task refs
and objects entering the archive; root extra history disappearing after
cold restore; and archive-only refs blocking ordinary standalone
expiration.
- Two concurrent private copies retain the saved head, branch, staged
and unstaged edits, ignored recovery bytes, settings, and modes. Source
refs, index, worktree registrations, and working files remain unchanged.
- Delete the original checkout, cache, remote, and private copies after
portable capture. Cold restore retains the saved files and extra history
after garbage collection. No alternates or unrelated task objects
remain.
- Ordinary linked recovery retains its path ownership check and recovers
pruned prerequisites. New and existing ordinary standalone destinations
have no archive-only refs and remain eligible for expiration after
normal object cleanup.
- Unsafe exclude tests reject hard links, oversized files, nonregular
paths, info-directory substitution, and replacement during the
descriptor read. They preserve the target and replacement source bytes.
- Preserve the failed attempts: an initial migration fixture changed its
home after constructing the source path. Later expiration fixture
attempts used a filtered current-head tip, omitted the local-source
callback, or used cleanup that generated Git server-info files or left
packed unreachable objects. Correct those setup assumptions before the
actual regressions fail. Final affected suites pass.
- Two earlier local full-suite attempts were interrupted before editing
valid review findings. Neither is reported as a full-suite PASS.
Final-head full CI passes; review is 5/5 with no open findings.

## Risks

Archived imports use additional private disk space for independent Git
objects. Missing, changed, or unsafe sources still block import. The
repair does not weaken the default linked-worktree ownership check,
change stored formats, or update live provider state. The shared
checkout addition is optional and has no effect for existing callers
that do not supply an object source.

Dotta 92452524f4 fix(server): recover authenticated empty retention checkpoints (#19417)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Ephemeral server enrollment must preserve existing task files.
> - Archived task directories can depend on encrypted retention
checkpoints.
> - A missing object blocks migration even when its authenticated
contents were exactly empty.
> - Metadata counters alone cannot prove that no saved files existed.
> - This change verifies the exact candidate against the original
encrypted key envelope before normal migration publication.
> - The benefit is lossless migration of this bounded case without
resetting task history or weakening ordinary restore.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
Migration stops at an archived empty directory when its retained
encrypted object is missing. The original encrypted key envelope still
authenticates the payload hash, byte length, company, workspace,
checkpoint ID, and generation.

**Expected behavior**
Administrative migration can reconstruct those exact original bytes when
storage confirms absence and every authenticated check passes. It must
keep missing nonempty, expired, corrupt, or ambiguous sources blocked.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Capture and encrypt an empty task directory.
2. Retain its reference and encrypted key envelope.
3. Remove the old directory and storage object.
4. Run the normal remote workspace migration.

**Paperclip version or commit**
The regression fails before this change at `205ffcb606`. Related
preservation work is in #19396, #19402, and #19409. No duplicate open
fix was found.

**Deployment mode**
Administrative migration to external workspace storage. Tests use real
encryption, real filesystem storage, and disposable PostgreSQL.

## What Changed

- Let the encryption owner verify a candidate against the existing
scoped encrypted key envelope. Normal ciphertext validation keeps its
previous order and checks.
- Share the task-directory encoder with an exact empty payload
constructor.
- Add a default-off loader option for confirmed missing empty
checkpoints. Only the administrative migration caller enables it.
- Keep the original checkpoint reference and object unchanged. Publish
the recovered bytes through the existing snapshot and source-fence
owners.
- Reject forged counters, wrong identities, missing nonempty data,
present corruption, unreadable present objects, unknown absence, and
expiry.

## Verification

- Final affected run: all 238 tests pass across five crypto, snapshot,
retention, and migration suites. Full repository typecheck and build
pass; server typecheck and full build also pass after the cancellation
repair.
- RED then GREEN: exact missing-empty recovery and cancellation of a
stalled HEAD through the real storage-service boundary. Cancellation
retains the caller's original abort reason.
- Disposable PostgreSQL migration publishes a cold-restorable empty
archive. Archived status, task status, task binding, original reference,
and the absent original source stay unchanged. Replay keeps one
canonical snapshot.
- Negative cases reject forged empty counters, an authenticated
directory or file, every foreign identity field, expiry, present
corruption, unreadable present objects, unknown absence, and missing
nonempty data. Ordinary restore keeps its previous failure behavior.
- Initial verification retained one new fixture-path failure after 145
passes, and a typecheck rejected the fixture's widened schema literal.
Correct the fixture to use the returned staging path and its explicit
reference type. The final complete affected run passes.
- The new HEAD request runs only after a failed read with the
administrative option enabled. It uses the existing cancellation
contract and adds no polling or background work.
- Final-head full CI passes; review is 5/5 with no open findings. This
PR does not claim deployed enrollment or a live migration result.

## Risks

Recovery requires the original valid encrypted key envelope and an exact
format match. A format change or unavailable key continues to block
migration. Existing ciphertext hash, size, authentication, and ordinary
restore behavior remain enforced. This change has no schema,
provider-session, API, or UI contract changes.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 958f9aa9f3 feat(issues): limit agent-created task trees to parent and child (#19312)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents split work into tasks. A task can have a parent task.
> - Today agents can nest tasks to any depth: parent, child, grandchild,
and deeper.
> - Deep agent-made trees are hard to follow, and an agent that works on
a child task makes grandchildren by default.
> - This pull request limits agent-created trees to two levels: a
top-level task and its children.
> - A request for a grandchild does not fail. The server puts the new
task beside the requester and tells the agent.
> - Board users keep full control. They can still nest to any depth.
Existing deep trees stay valid.
> - The pull request also records which task created each new task, so
the audit trail stays complete when the parent changes.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists. This is the feature description. Related: #16853
(budgets that include descendant work) also reasons about task trees;
this change does not alter its traversal.

**Subsystem affected**

Issues (tasks): create, child create and move in the issue service and
routes. Agent tools, chat suggestions and creation provenance use these
paths.

**Problem or motivation**

Agents create subtasks as deep as they want. An agent that runs on a
child task gets that child as the default parent, so its follow-ups
become grandchildren. The trees become deep and hard to read. The parent
link is also the only record of which task created a follow-up, so that
record is lost when the parent changes.

**Proposed solution**

Limit agent-created trees to a parent and its children. When an agent
asks for a grandchild, put the new task under the requester's parent and
return `parentAdjusted`. Do not reject the request. Keep board users
unrestricted. Record the originating task in a new server-set
`origin_issue_id` column. Keep `origin_run_id` as the originating run.

**Alternatives considered**

Reject grandchild requests with an error. We did not do this, because
agents then fail mid-task. Add a database constraint. We did not do
this, because existing deep trees must stay valid and nesting can return
later.

## What Changed

- Add `MAX_AGENT_TASK_HIERARCHY_DEPTH` (2) and the
`IssueParentAdjustment` type in `packages/shared`.
- Add `resolveNewTaskParent` and `planIssueParentChange` in
`server/src/services/issues.ts`. `create`, `createChild` and `update`
use the agent limit by default (`parentDepthPolicy: "flatten"`).
- The issue create, `/children` and PATCH routes pass `allow_nested` for
board users. For agents, the routes check authorization against the
parent that the server actually writes.
- The requester keeps its behavior when the server moves a task beside
it: `blockParentUntilDone` blocks the requester, and the new task
inherits the requester's workspace and privacy.
- The server never moves a task above a low-trust boundary root that
contains the requester.
- These subsystems keep any depth, because they find their work by
parent: watchdog reviews, monitor recovery, email-channel placement, and
routines that a person configured.
- An agent move of a task that has children skips only the parent change
and returns `reason: "has_children"`.
- Add `issues.origin_issue_id` (nullable, `on delete set null`, indexed)
in migration `0434`. Only the server sets it. The `createdFrom` detail
field, the `createdFromIssueId` filter and task-creation provenance read
it first.
- Chat prompts now let a chat agent create one task, a task with
children, or separate tasks. The conversation is never a parent.
- The runner `create_task` tool accepts an optional `parentTaskId`. A
chat agent can create a top-level task and then put subtasks under it.
The run must be able to read and change the parent. A conversation is
never a parent. The depth limit still applies. Project tools map the
field to `parentId` through the issue route. The protocol manifest,
semantic contracts and eval fixture are regenerated.
- Watchdog runs that have an active watchdog keep their requested parent
on all create paths, because their access is limited to the watched
subtree.
- Fix a bug that the test drive found: the chat (MCP) `create_task`
ignored the requested `status`, so a `backlog` task became `todo` and
started to run. It now uses the same rule as the native tool.
- Update `skills/paperclip`, `doc/SPEC-implementation.md`, and add the
plan `doc/plans/2026-11-05-two-level-task-hierarchy.md`.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/agent-task-hierarchy-depth.test.ts
src/__tests__/agent-task-hierarchy-depth-routes.test.ts`: 19 new tests
for service and route behavior, all pass.
- Related suites (64 files: issues service, thread interactions,
privacy, watchdogs, provenance, runner tool authority, decisions,
routines, project tools): 1208 tests pass. Two tests changed because of
the intended behavior and pass now. Two `email-channels.integration`
tests fail locally because the test cannot find a bundled skill file
from this worktree path. This change does not touch that code.
- `packages/db`: migration safety, snapshot drift and journal tests
pass.
- Typecheck passes for `server`, `packages/shared`, `packages/db`, `cli`
and `ui` (local `ui` errors come only from generated Storybook catalog
files that are absent).
- Local test drive on an isolated instance with real Claude agents: 29
of 29 use cases pass, including an agent on a child task (follow-ups
placed beside it, with the notice) and a chat that creates a top-level
task with three subtasks.
- I did not run the full `pnpm test:run` or `pnpm build` locally. CI
runs them.

## Risks

- Behavior change for agents: some follow-ups that were grandchildren
are now siblings. The parent of the requester is woken when all its
children finish, which now includes these tasks.
- The runner `create_task` input contract adds one optional field, so
the protocol manifest and the pack contract change. The tool output does
not change: it shows the actual `parentId`, and the activity log records
`parentAdjusted`.
- Migration `0434` adds a nullable column, a foreign key and an index.
It does not backfill rows.
- `IssueCreationSource.run` is now nullable.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) in Claude Code, with tool use
(shell, file edits, local test runs).

TonioandClaude Opus 5.5 9e9a628a57 feat(ui): turn Artifacts V1 on for every instance and hide its toggle (#19164)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Artifacts show the output of agent work on the Artifacts page, in
the panel Artifacts tab, and in the task thread
> - #17228 added the Artifacts V1 presentation behind an experimental
setting that is off by default
> - The presentation is now ready for all users, so an opt-in toggle is
no longer necessary
> - A new default alone does not reach all instances, because each
experimental write persists every flag

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17228
Refs #17263

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
Artifacts V1 shows only on instances where an admin turned on an
experimental setting. Other users see the previous cards.

**Describe the solution you would like**
Show Artifacts V1 on all instances. Remove the toggle from Experimental
settings.

**Describe alternatives you have considered**
A new default without a change to the hook. This does not work, because
many instances have a stored false that nobody chose, and no toggle
would remain to change it.

## What Changed

- Removed the Artifacts V1 card from Instance Settings, Experimental.
- Changed `enableArtifactsV1` to default on in the schema, the feature
catalog, and the settings service.
- Changed `resolveArtifactsV1Enabled` to ignore a stored false. It
honours false only when the value comes from managed config.
- Kept the flag and the previous cards, so a hosting operator can hold
V1 off.
- Kept the key in the Cloud staging list, so a managed false does not
hold V1 off on staging.
- Updated unit tests, the Artifacts V1 plan, and the directions-lab
Today reference.
- Moved the attachment and upload e2e specs and the runner download
helper to the V1 rows.
- Added V1 tests for a Markdown review: expansion, deep link, and open,
raw and download actions.

## Verification

- `cd ui && npx vitest run`: one test file failed before its fix. That
file tests the previous cards, and it now mocks the hook to off. I reran
it with the other changed UI tests, and they pass. I did not repeat the
full UI run after the fix.
- `npx playwright test --config tests/e2e/playwright.config.ts
tests/e2e/text-attachment-tabs.spec.ts
tests/e2e/artifact-uploads.spec.ts
tests/e2e/artifact-tab-arrival.spec.ts`: 10 tests pass on V1.
- `tests/e2e/cloud-auth.spec.ts` failed once in CI on a task heading. It
does not touch artifacts, and 10 local runs pass.
- `cd server && npx vitest run src/__tests__/instance-settings`: 183
tests pass.
- `cd packages/shared && npx vitest run src/feature-catalog.test.ts
src/validators/instance.test.ts`: 35 tests pass.
- `pnpm run check:token-gates` and the `ui` and `server` typechecks
pass. I did not run the full repository check.
- In the artifact directions lab, with no stored settings, the Today
right panel renders the V1 rows.
- I did not test this on a live instance. After merge, confirm on
staging that the Experimental page has no Artifacts V1 card and that all
three surfaces show V1.

## Risks

- All users see V1 after the next release, not only staging users. To
revert, revert this pull request.
- Users cannot turn V1 off. Only a hosting operator can, through managed
config, and not on Cloud staging.
- An instance with a managed `enableArtifactsV1: false` stays on the
previous cards. The cloud harness source has no reference to this key,
but I cannot read the live fleet configuration.
- V1 surfaces render before settings load. An operator-held instance can
briefly show V1 before the previous cards.
- Admins who use the API can still write the flag. The write has no
effect on unmanaged instances.

DottaandPaperclip f7a4c5678f feat(runtime): pre-copy completed harness history before enrollment (#19137)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - An ephemeral web server needs provider history in shared object
storage.
> - Offline enrollment must preserve old backups before it can detach a
volume.
> - A large copied dataset still exceeded the maintenance deadline with
parallel transfers.
> - Most of its bytes belong to successful turns with released runtime
authority.
> - This pull request pre-copies that history while unrelated executions
continue.
> - The final offline migration still verifies every source and grants
enrollment authority.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19108, #19038, #18943.

**What happened?**

A copied instance has 1,953 local harness backups and 54.8 GB of
declared source bytes. A resumed parallel migration still reached its
25-minute deadline. It cannot safely enroll by moving all history during
maintenance.

**Expected behavior**

Copy eligible completed history while the server remains online. Defer
active, failed or changed sources. Keep all existing data and final
enrollment checks.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Retain many local native harness backups on a volume-backed instance.
2. Attempt a full offline conversion within the maintenance deadline.
3. Observe that most time moves historical bytes rather than current
execution state.

## What Changed

- Add finite `native-harness-prestage.mjs` preparation from a normal
runtime build. Require explicit opt-in and shared object storage.
Process one source at a time with a 90-minute deadline.
- Use the recorded released runtime owner of each successful, finished
turn. Do not assert that all writers stopped.
- Recheck checkout, related queued/running work, successful result
ownership, session, Runner, exact lease stamp and unchanged backup at
database publication fences.
- Defer source changes, malformed source JSON and unsafe backup roots.
Log each such source and its reason. Keep database failures and
cancellation fatal. Keep completed objects valid for retry. Never return
an enrollment-ready receipt.
- Reuse the bounded migration source walker. Keep offline admission and
final verification unchanged.
- Keep private lifecycle state, task ownership and provider policies
unchanged. Document the operator path and its limits.

## Verification

- A zero-source scan now checks the existing database obligation query.
A known mismatch blocks with a source-missing receipt; empty
fresh/already-durable scans and nonempty deferred scans remain valid
advisory results. The prior command fails the mismatch regression. All
16 command and runtime-bundle tests pass for this follow-up.
- At head `7ba3dbc7aa`, 87 focused command, database-timeout, storage,
archive, publication and runtime-bundle tests passed with real
PostgreSQL and filesystem restoration.
- The current follow-up passes all 68 backup and archive tests. A source
renamed after preparation fails the new regression on the previous head,
then defers and permits the next backup with this fix. An archive output
ENOENT remains fatal. Existing database-error and cancellation tests
pass.
- New race tests fail against the previous storage owner: a changed
backup, queued turn or revoked lease otherwise publishes.
- Tests prove unrelated executions stay running, same-task work defers,
failed history stays deferred, retry verifies existing objects, and
private bytes restore after deleting the old home.
- Command review fixes require the configured existing vault key, retain
it for the process, set database lock/statement/idle bounds, close
clients on cancellation, and cap shutdown at ten seconds. Abort
immediately sets failure status and prints one blocked receipt. A real
child with real shortened timers reproduces the old missing-receipt exit
and verifies the fix. Tests also use a real PostgreSQL lock.
- Malformed manifest or runner JSON and symlink replacement fail the new
preparation and publication-fence regressions on the previous code. The
fixed command defers each damaged source and copies the next eligible
backup. Separate tests keep database SyntaxError and cancellation fatal.
Offline migration still rejects damaged sources.
- The bundle test runs the emitted preparation entry with plain Node
without starting the app.
- A prior copied-data experiment completed with 1,738 new publications,
nine verified current objects and 206 deferred sources. Later checks
found different database and filesystem capture times: 43 source runs
were absent from the older database snapshot, and one required
historical manifest was absent from the retained filesystem archive.
This experiment does not prove a consistent restore or enrollment
readiness.
- Full current-head CI at ce63517d0c
passed: 54 successful checks, two skipped and one neutral, with no
failed or pending statuses. Typecheck, tests and build pass. CI:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41970370960. The
earlier superseded run lost a spot runner after a shutdown signal; that
infrastructure cancellation is retained and is not counted as a passing
run.
- Greptile and Ponytail both rate this exact head 5/5; all actionable
review threads are resolved. Comment-only cleanup removes newly added
prose comments under CONTRIBUTING.md. TypeScript output with
removeComments:true is byte-identical for all seven changed TypeScript
files; 20 existing command, runtime and bundle tests pass after cleanup.
- Serving enrollment, full normal-image migration, empty-home
restoration and active-agent release handoffs remain separate acceptance
gates.

## Risks

- Preparation still consumes CPU, disk and storage requests. It uses one
transfer and at most two database connections. Check memory headroom for
a separate operator process.
- A task can gain work during upload. The final fence rejects that
publication and retains the previous current object.
- Deferred sources remain migration obligations. Preparation never
permits detaching the volume.
- Ordinary backup callers do not opt into the new preparation constraint
and keep their existing behavior.

code editing, shell tools and test execution. The runtime does not

DottaandPaperclip f5f5184f23 fix(workspaces): preserve retained branches and private commit sources (#19147)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Ephemeral web servers must preserve existing task files before
volume removal.
> - An old private checkout can be absent while its recorded branch
still exists.
> - A deleted branch can also retain its exact commit in the original
private object source.
> - The importer currently rejects these surviving sources.
> - This pull request saves the verified committed tree and records its
exact source proof.
> - It keeps task state, branch ownership and recovery obligations
unchanged.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19138, #19144, #18826.

**What happened?**

Existing Git workspace records can have missing checkout folders and
retained branch objects. The importer returns
`local_source_unsafe_or_missing`. A successful deletion receipt can also
have a valid private object source that the importer overlooks in favor
of a missing or changed project cache.

**Expected behavior**

Save the surviving committed tree from the exact recorded branch or
deletion receipt. Reject competing owners, live worktree registrations,
changed branches and invalid source identities. Do not use the current
default branch as a substitute.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Retain an isolated workspace branch in its managed project cache.
2. Remove its clean checkout but keep the branch and original workspace
record.
3. Attempt workspace migration.
4. Alternatively, retain a deleted commit in its recorded private source
while its shared source is unavailable.

## What Changed

- Pin a retained branch in its verified company and project Git cache.
- Require the recorded private path, no competing workspace owner and no
surviving Git worktree registration or index authority.
- For a user-owned branch, require its exact successful unforced removal
receipt after archival. Preserve the branch ownership metadata.
- Prefer a verified recorded private object source for successful
deletion receipts when that source still exists.
- Recheck branch and receipt proof before publication. Preserve
compatibility with existing migration journals.
- Allow missing active records only through the existing offline writer
fence. Keep their status unchanged.
- Add byte-restoration and rejected-authority tests. Document the source
limits.

- Revalidate and honor interrupted journals' original Git source path.
Reject detached registrations and retained orphan index data. Reuse the
cleanup producer command formatter for paths containing spaces.

## Verification

- 172 focused migration, concurrency and isolated-source tests pass with
real PostgreSQL and Git repositories.
- The previous importer fails the retained-branch and offline-active
restoration cases. The previous source selection also fails the
private-cache and clean user-owned receipt cases.
- Tests remove the old home and restore the pinned commit and task file
bytes. New shared default-branch work is excluded.
- Tests reject competing owners, registered worktrees, missing branch
ownership, deleted branches, changed branch tips, forced removal and
revoked receipts.
- Read-only re-inventory of 79 actual failed source records makes 78
eligible with committed owner overlays. One older local test repository
remains blocked. This is source-overlay qualification, not full
released-image acceptance.
- A separate bounded archive replay completed six imports before its
25-minute deadline. That timing failure remains open; it does not
establish complete migration.
- Local server typecheck has no changed-file diagnostics. Stale linked
declarations prevent a clean local whole-server result. Full clean CI
remains required.
- Serving enrollment and empty-home recovery remain separate acceptance
gates.

- Latest rebased head 9f42901683 passes 172 focused
migration/archive/concurrency tests. Four review regressions fail on the
previous source; the revoked journal source already rejected correctly.
The real cleanup fixture uses an unforced removal under a home path
containing spaces. The orphan-index fixture is locked to keep Git
maintenance from deleting its synthetic retained state before
inspection.
- The prerebase layered server typecheck passed. Current-head full CI
remains required after integrating master. The local environment reset
removed earlier temporary logs; the current red/green logs and source
now live in persistent worktree folders.

- Current-head full CI passes on run 41965901512 after one bounded
failed-shard retry. The first run failed an unrelated status-card
fake-clock deadline assertion by 150 ms; the same source passed the
retry. Its cause remains unestablished, and the first failure log
remains in Actions and persistent local evidence. No migration-related
test failed.

## Risks

- A retained branch saves committed data that still exists. It cannot
certify recovery of files that were already absent.
- User-owned branches remain user-owned. A clean removal receipt grants
preservation authority, not deletion authority.
- Any retained registration, conflicting record or changed proof keeps
migration blocked.
- This PR does not resolve the remaining source, recovery or migration
timing gates.

DottaandPaperclip c8013d06ad fix(workspaces): preserve task-only warnings during offline migration (#19144)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Ephemeral web servers must save existing workspaces before volume
removal.
> - Offline migration checks file ownership and recovery authority.
> - The same gate also rejects task assignment and configuration
warnings.
> - Those warnings do not require the old filesystem.
> - This pull request preserves known task-only warnings while it saves
files.
> - File recovery and execution obligations keep their existing
blockers.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18943, #19038, #19138.

**What happened?**

Offline workspace migration refuses tasks with assignment,
configuration, disposition or deliberate-wait warnings. It returns
`workspace_recovery_unresolved` even when the warning has no file or
execution recovery authority.

**Expected behavior**

Save local workspace bytes while retaining the task warning unchanged.
Continue to block unknown recovery kinds, file sources, export failures
and execution recovery work.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Retain a local workspace on a task with an active assignment or
configuration warning.
2. Stop all app writers through the offline maintenance entry.
3. Attempt workspace migration.

## What Changed

- Admit four known task-only warning kinds during offline file
migration.
- Keep file recovery markers, system recovery, native failure markers,
export-failure causes and unknown kinds blocked unless their exact
legacy source is already preserved.
- Keep the existing live-migration recovery exclusion.
- Recheck warning evidence before publication. Do not resolve warnings
or change their owners.
- Add restoration, rejection and publication-race tests. Update the
migration plan.

## Verification

- 112 focused migration and concurrency tests pass with real PostgreSQL
and filesystem archives.
- The four task-only restoration cases fail against the previous
importer with `workspace_recovery_unresolved`.
- Tests delete the old home, restore its saved bytes and compare each
warning row unchanged.
- File and execution markers, unknown kinds and export failures remain
blocked.
- A task warning that gains file recovery during upload prevents
publication.
- Local server typecheck has no changed-file diagnostics. Stale linked
dependency declarations prevent a clean local whole-server result. Clean
full CI remains required before merge.
- The PR was rebased onto the merged Git preservation fix after
resolving a plan-document conflict. The rebased head passed full PR CI
(41943153422). Current head ba18efc7b5 adds the reviewed deliberate-wait
case and reuses the canonical export-cause set; fresh full CI is
required. The earlier unmergeable head did not have a PR workflow run.
- Serving enrollment and full copied-data acceptance remain separate
gates.

## Risks

- The allowlist must remain narrow. New warning kinds are blocked by
default.
- A known task-only warning with file or execution recovery evidence
still blocks migration.
- This change depends on the existing offline provider fence. It does
not establish that old app writers stopped.

DottaandPaperclip 9cdbcbeddc fix(workspaces): restore archived commits from verified project objects (#19138)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - An ephemeral web server must preserve historical task files outside
its local disk.
> - Archived isolated Git workspaces can have a successful
branch-deletion receipt.
> - Their private checkout can be gone while the project cache still
owns the exact commit.
> - The importer rejects that cache because it applies private-checkout
validation.
> - This pull request validates the managed object source for
receipt-based restoration.
> - The importer restores the recorded commit without using the current
shared working tree.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18826, #18943, #19038.

**What happened?**

An archived isolated workspace has a valid successful cleanup receipt
and a retained commit. Offline migration rejects it with
`archived_git_source_unavailable,local_source_unsafe_or_missing`. The
private checkout was removed. The company and project cache still
contains the exact commit.

**Expected behavior**

Restore the immutable commit from the verified project object cache.
Keep strict validation for saved private edit recipes. Reject missing
receipts, a foreign cache, a different origin and revoked cleanup
authority.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create an isolated Git workspace from a managed project cache.
2. Archive it and retain its successful branch-deletion receipt.
3. Remove its private checkout while the verified project cache retains
that commit.
4. Attempt offline workspace migration.

## What Changed

- Extract the existing managed Git object-source validator.
- Use that validator only for exact successful deletion receipts that
refer to a canonical company and project cache.
- Keep private restore-point source validation unchanged.
- Fetch immutable objects at the recorded commit into private scratch.
Recheck receipt authority before publication.
- Add real Git and database tests for restoration and rejected authority
changes. Document the preservation path.

## Verification

- 129 focused migration, concurrency and isolated-source tests pass
across three files.
- The new restoration case fails against the previous importer with the
reported source-unavailable error.
- Tests remove the old home and restore the retained commit. A newer
shared working tree and unrelated files are excluded.
- Tests reject a foreign company cache, wrong origin, missing receipt
and receipt revocation during upload.
- Local server typecheck has no diagnostics in changed files. Stale
linked dependency declarations prevent a clean local whole-server
result. Current-head full CI passes (54 passing checks, three skipped).
Greptile is 5/5 with no unresolved review threads.
- A replay of the 32 affected records is running in an isolated staging
copy. Two committed owner overlays are under test. This is not
released-image or serving-instance acceptance.

## Risks

- A deletion receipt must identify an exact commit that still exists.
Missing objects continue to block migration.
- Shared working-tree contents must never substitute for archived
private files. Only the recorded commit is fetched through this path.
- The change does not recreate private edit authority, retire recovery
records or alter serving configuration.

DottaandPaperclip 7d46532c6d fix(runtime): bound parallel offline harness backup transfers (#19108)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - An ephemeral web server must retain provider history outside its
local disk.
> - Offline enrollment moves verified local harness backups to object
storage.
> - A cold rehearsal reached 699 current backup rows while processing
1,953 sources before its 25-minute deadline.
> - The serial transfer loop prevents this existing dataset from
enrolling.
> - This pull request overlaps at most four transfers within the
existing total scratch limit.
> - The benefit is faster preservation with the same ownership and
publication checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19038, #18943, #18932.

**What happened?**

Offline enrollment processed 1,953 local provider backups one at a time.
The normal Cloud image reached 699 current backup rows (including nine
pre-existing rows) before maintenance expired. The serving instance
remained unchanged during the isolated test.

**Expected behavior**

Enrollment must preserve every source within bounded time and disk use.
It must stop all in-flight transfers before it reports failure.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Prepare a settled instance with multiple verified native harness
backups.
2. Run offline enrollment against shared object storage.
3. Observe that the serial owner waits for each archive, upload,
readback and publication before starting the next source.

## What Changed

- Process groups of up to four verified offline harness backups.
- Reserve space for the archive and encrypted copy before each group
starts. Keep the total scratch limit equal to one maximum-size serial
transfer.
- Derive a smaller archive limit from a closed manifest directory set.
Preserve unlisted files with an exclusive maximum-size reservation.
- Enforce the reservation while streaming. Keep the existing maximum for
ordinary runtime backups.
- Cancel and await peer transfers after failure. Keep completed
publications valid for retry.
- Preserve the original archive-stream failure when the tar writer also
fails after destruction.
- Document the migration bound and add integration regressions for
overlap, restoration, cancellation, retry, extra files and archive
limits.

## Verification

- Serial baseline: the new overlap regression fails with one active
transfer when four are required.
- Candidate: 59 targeted tests pass with real PostgreSQL, S3, filesystem
archives and restored provider bytes. The bundled-entry test is skipped
locally because this source worktree has no runtime bundle. The full
normal image rehearsal remains required.
- Follow-up: 48 archive/storage checks pass after correcting the
PAX-header allowance. The real encoder produces a 972,801,024-byte
full-entry projection, above the old 805,306,368-byte allowance and
below the new 1,024,001,024-byte bound. The existing global object limit
remains in force. The old formula fails the new regression. Exact-size
restoration and one-byte-over-limit rejection pass.
- The previous revision passed full CI after one setup-route timeout
retry. That failure remains recorded; the corrected current revision
f7c2be1289 passed fresh full CI (41937700826) and Greptile 5/5. Its
review thread is resolved.
- Local server typecheck found four test-only Promise library errors;
those are fixed. The remaining 26 diagnostics come from stale linked
dependency declarations outside the changed files. Clean full CI is
required before merge.
- The resumed isolated staging-copy experiment also exceeded its
25-minute deadline. It reached 1,389 current backups. This improves
transfer throughput but does not by itself qualify enrollment; online
preparation is tracked in #19137.
- Full fresh normal-image migration, empty-home restoration and hosted
release handoffs remain deployment acceptance gates.

## Risks

- Parallel work increases concurrent object-storage and database
requests to at most four transfers. The scratch reservation still bounds
archive and ciphertext files together.
- A malformed or changed source can fail its streaming limit. The
migration retains its source and stops before export.
- Partial completed publications survive failure. Retry verifies them
under the existing hash and ownership rules.
- No serving configuration, deployment pin, database contract or
provider lifecycle policy changes in this pull request.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6.1 Codex, exact model ID `gpt-6.1-sol`. Used for reasoning,
code editing, shell tools and test execution. The runtime does not
expose its context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 61b2455319 fix(runtime): preserve failed sources and durable checkpoint authority (#19038)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A volume-free web server must preserve retained native session data.
> - An old failed follow-up can keep its own snapshot while its
controller file still belongs to the preceding successful turn.
> - The Runner correctly refuses to import that file as the failed
turn's execution authority.
> - That refusal also blocks migration when no warm supervisor is
present.
> - This pull request preserves the file after it proves the older run's
lineage, and uses existing typed database authority when present.
> - Failed history and files survive, while normal execution authority
stays unchanged.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19024, which preserves the related older-supervisor case. The
duplicate search found no PR for this older-controller case.

**What happened?**

Offline native-controller migration stops with
`native_runner_checkpoint_binding_mismatch` for a failed retained
follow-up. The local controller still contains the preceding successful
run. A per-turn source can have no supervisor file, so the
older-supervisor archive path does not apply. Read-only checks matched
the database snapshots and controller-file hashes between the original
source and the isolated rehearsal copy.

**Expected behavior**

Preserve the available file as evidence through the existing encrypted
archive. Require a valid older controller, a completed successful prior
run, and the same company, agent, task, native session, Runner and
provider thread. Keep successful sources and active owners outside this
archival fallback. When a valid typed database checkpoint already
exists, derive only its missing recovery metadata and ignore obsolete
local projections.

**Steps to reproduce**

Create a successful native turn and a later failed follow-up in the same
session. Retain the successful controller file. Keep the failed snapshot
and admitted input in the database. Leave the per-turn source without a
supervisor. Run offline migration. The new positive regression fails
with the binding mismatch before this change.

## What Changed

- Share the scoped older-successful-run proof with the existing
supervisor preservation path.
- Validate the older controller through the Runner parser and artifact
checks before archive publication.
- Archive this failed legacy source without changing its snapshot,
status, ownership, queued work or session pointer.
- Preserve the normal refusal for foreign, changed, active, successful,
invalid and already-durable cases.
- Permit evidence archival for a stale observed coordinator only with
exact host-owned stop receipts for every remote lease, no current task
ownership, no result and no retry deadline. Recheck the proof before
publication.
- Use execution start for lifecycle ordering. A queued follow-up can
predate its prior turn completion, and a remote stop can predate a later
recovery timeout.
- Resolve destruction receipts through the existing reusable-lease
handoff verifier. Reject stopped tips, broken chains and competing tips.
- Prefer a valid typed database checkpoint over a stale or absent local
warm supervisor. Add only missing recovery metadata after current
admitted-input and checkpoint binding checks.
- Document the evidence and execution-authority boundary.

## Verification

- Positive regression: red before the owner change and green afterward.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/services/native-runtime/native-controller-migration.integration.test.ts
server/src/services/native-runtime/native-controller-recovery.integration.test.ts
server/src/services/native-runtime/native-harness-backup-storage.integration.test.ts`:
81 checks passed across migration, recovery and durable storage.
- The checks cover storage failure, repeated migration, exact file
restoration after old-home deletion, unchanged history and ownership,
and refusal to treat the archive as executable recovery authority.
- A second regression reproduced the archive fence refusal for an
observed failed source with a valid stopped-remote receipt. Negative
controls cover missing, foreign, old and revoked receipts, live leases,
pending results, retry deadlines and task ownership. Revoking the
receipt during upload prevents publication.
- Two additional regressions cover a follow-up queued before the prior
turn finished and a remote stop before a later logical failure. Both
fail with the earlier timestamp comparisons and pass with
execution-start ordering. Genuine execution overlap and old receipts
stay blocked.
- Two historical source snapshots and controller-file hashes matched in
a read-only live-versus-copy check. The first candidate reached the
archive fence and exposed the observed-coordinator case. That failure is
retained. A fresh candidate replay is required for the expanded proof.
It does not qualify the full packaged migration or hosted Railway
handoff.
- Existing typed-authority checks cover stale and missing supervisors,
repeat migration, byte-identical checkpoint rows, unchanged
snapshots/owners/history, old-home deletion and ordinary queued-turn
recovery. Foreign Runner, session and snapshot controls remain blocked.
- Handoff checks cover an exact destroyed successor, a stopped
successor, a broken proof and a competing tip.
- Isolated replay of the two retained typed-checkpoint sources imported
only derived recovery metadata. Checks confirmed unchanged checkpoint
rows (12 and 9 parts), history, snapshots, finalization owners and
task-session pointers. The replay used three source-module overlays with
a blocked provider network; it does not qualify the released bundle.
- Final-head CI attempt 1 passed typecheck, build and the migration
suites but failed one unrelated budget-concurrency assertion in
`decision-models.test.ts` (one provider call observed instead of two).
The original log is retained. The isolated local comparison cannot
classify the timing failure because this checkout has stale linked
budget schema exports. The one retry of that failed CI job passed, and
final-head CI attempt 2 is green. The original failure remains retained;
its cause is not established.
- Full local typecheck, repository tests and build are not claimed. The
server typecheck reports pre-existing linked declaration mismatches
outside the changed files; the full clean CI typecheck has passed. This
checkout uses linked generated declarations; clean CI is required before
merge. Prior head d71dc913 had passing full CI and a 5/5 Greptile
review. Head 8ff3a22109 adds the handoff and typed-authority fixes. Its
fresh full CI is green and Greptile is 5/5, with no unresolved review
threads. Earlier head7729 hit unrelated 5-second CLI ZIP and 15-second
setup-token test timeouts; those failures remain retained.

## Risks

This path preserves evidence for a source that has already failed. It
does not make that source resumable. The Runner must accept the older
controller under its own identity and artifact binding. Scoped
successful history must match its session and provider thread. The
archive owner still requires stopped writers, a finished failed run and
no live lease. An observed coordinator also needs exact remote-stop
receipts after execution started, no accepted result or retry deadline,
and no current task ownership. The coordinator stays unchanged. Existing
durable authority stays authoritative.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, exact model ID `gpt-6.1-sol`, with reasoning, tool use and
code execution. The host does not expose context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 3a283fbc9b fix(runtime): preserve failed sources with older warm supervisors (#19024)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A volume-free web server needs durable recovery data for retained
sessions.
> - An old failed follow-up can retain its snapshot while the warm
supervisor still holds the preceding successful turn.
> - The migration refuses to treat those different snapshots as the same
execution authority.
> - That refusal also blocks the tenant even when the failed source can
be preserved as an archive.
> - This pull request archives that narrow case after it verifies the
older successful snapshot and all scope bindings.
> - The failed run keeps its history and files while valid controller
recovery keeps its existing proof requirements.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18959, which added the existing failed-controller archive path. No
duplicate PR for this case was found.

**What happened?**

Offline controller migration stops with `stale_supervisor_snapshot` for
an old failed warm follow-up. Its local supervisor still contains the
prior successful turn. Read-only checks found the same database snapshot
and supervisor bytes in the live source and the isolated copy. The
mismatch predates the rehearsal.

**Expected behavior**

Preserve the failed run's database state and available local files in
the existing durable archive. Only archive when the older supervisor
matches a completed successful run in the same company, agent, task,
native session and Runner instance. Keep current execution and
controller authority checks intact.

**Steps to reproduce**

Create a successful native turn and a later failed warm follow-up. Keep
the successful snapshot in the supervisor file and the failed snapshot
in the database. Give the failed source local controller bytes but no
durable controller checkpoint. Run the offline migration. The new
regression fails with `stale_supervisor_snapshot` before this change.

## What Changed

- Verify the older supervisor against scoped successful history and the
same provider thread.
- Use the existing encrypted archive owner for that failed legacy
source.
- Preserve snapshots, run status, ownership, queued work and the
session's last-run pointer.
- Keep foreign, changed, active, successful and already-durable sources
outside this path.
- Document the preservation and recovery boundary.

## Verification

- New positive regression: red on the original owner, green after the
change.
- Native migration and controller recovery: 27 checks passed. Final
migration checks also cover refusal to replace a durable checkpoint.
- Storage failure blocks publication. Repeated migration is safe. The
archive restores the exact controller and supervisor bytes after the old
home is deleted.
- The archived failed source does not gain executable recovery
authority.
- Local server typecheck is blocked by reused workspace declarations for
accounting, bootstrap and ingress contracts. No diagnostic names either
modified owner or test file. Full local typecheck, repo-wide tests and
build are not claimed; clean CI is required before merge. The exact-head
CI has now passed typecheck, build, policy, Runner checks, browser E2E,
and all server test shards.
- Rehearsal verification against the copied historical source remains
required. Full tenant migration and hosted deployment qualification
remain separate gates.

## Risks

The archive preserves evidence for an already failed source. It does not
certify that source as resumable. A prior snapshot must match exactly,
and the normal archive owner checks the terminal failed binding before
it publishes. Existing durable checkpoints remain authoritative. A
missing or changed proof still blocks migration.

## Model Used

code execution. The host does not expose context-window size.

Dotta 55d7df2bad fix(runtime): bound checkpoint data and preserve durable failed sessions (#18959)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Native Runner checkpoints preserve controller state across server
replacements.
> - Enrollment imports legacy controller state into those durable
checkpoints.
> - The importer passed extra source fields into each encrypted record,
duplicating the whole source and exhausting memory.
> - Some failed runs already had durable checkpoints but no session
snapshot. Re-importing them incorrectly required resumable state.
> - This PR stores only each record's binding and contents, and
preserves matching failed checkpoints without changing their recovery
status.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18957 and #18943.

**What happened?**

A 538-record migrated checkpoint stored 1,108,851,510 bytes of encrypted
material. Every record included the full 1.4 MB legacy source. Large
writes disconnected and later reads exhausted memory.

**Expected behavior**

Each encrypted record contains only its company, issue, run, part and
contents.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run offline controller migration with a retained controller that has
many commands. Decrypt a saved envelope and inspect its fields. The old
writer also includes the entire offline migration input.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `a1f3637c96dfadaf3a15ae9c83aa8227f4fed20e`.

## What Changed

- Serialize only company, issue, run, part and contents in encrypted
checkpoint envelopes.
- Preserve an already-durable failed checkpoint when its run, runner and
session match and the legacy session snapshot is absent. Keep its
failure, recovery blockers, owner and pointers unchanged.
- Report the number of failed checkpoints preserved during maintenance.
- Test exact encrypted contents, idempotent preservation after removing
the old home, and rejection of successful or foreign-session sources.
- Document the migration findings and verification boundaries.

## Verification

- The oversized-envelope regression failed before the serializer fix.
- The already-durable failed-source regression failed before the
preservation fix.
- Four focused test files: 44 tests passed. The migration suite passed
all 5 tests again after adding the foreign-session control.
- Server typecheck passed. Greptile reviewed `c4f02a064c` at 5/5 with no
findings. The exact-head PR workflow passed, including typecheck, build
and all required tests.
- Live staging repair preserved all 16 affected checkpoint sets: 2,982
records, 6,400,144,676 bytes reduced to 15,419,528 bytes. Each record
matched its legacy source and passed re-encryption verification.
Original encrypted rows and source files remain on the retained volume.
- Full hosted enrollment and active-agent deployment proof remain
pending. Deployment will follow the normal staging release pipeline.

## Risks

The serializer affects normal and migrated checkpoint writes. The
decoder already accepts the same five fields and continues to accept
older envelopes. Preservation applies only to a failed run with an
exact, validated durable checkpoint and no session snapshot; it grants
no new recovery authority. This change does not rewrite existing
database records automatically. Existing failures and missing provider
files remain failures until their owning recovery path resolves them.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, tool use and code execution.
The exact deployment model ID and context-window size are not exposed in
this session.

DottaandPaperclip d12de135a7 fix(runtime): preserve legacy identities and bound checkpoint imports (#18957)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Ephemeral web servers must preserve native Runner sessions before
removing local storage.
> - Legacy session imports validate the workspace and saved provider
authority.
> - A protocol lease can retain a logical workspace ID while copy-back
uses a separate physical sandbox lease ID.
> - Comparing these different IDs blocks valid legacy sessions during
enrollment.
> - This pull request checks the workspace binding, retains the full
saved protocol identity check, and bounds checkpoint inserts inside the
owner transaction.
> - Existing sessions can migrate without changing their identity or
discarding files.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18943 and #18841.

**What happened?**

The first full staging enrollment stopped with
`native_controller_migration_artifact_binding`. A successful native
session had valid controller and provider-pack identities, but its
physical sandbox lease had a different ID.

**Expected behavior**

Import the original session when its workspace and saved provider
authority match. Reject foreign workspaces and protocol identities.

**Steps to reproduce**

Create a retained session whose sync record points to the execution
workspace and a separate physical lease. Run the offline controller
migration. The prior comparison rejects this valid record.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `84aa989bf9d08fc005ac273c37f9e1d860a4db25`.

**Deployment mode**

Docker with external PostgreSQL and shared object storage.

## What Changed

- Compare the sync record's workspace ID with the frozen execution
workspace.
- Keep the full saved provider-pack check for company, agent, workspace,
session, Runner, protocol lease, remote path, and provider digest.
- Use distinct physical and protocol IDs in the database-backed
migration fixture. Reject a foreign workspace and a changed protocol
lease before any checkpoint import.
- Limit migration inserts to 64 records and about 512 KiB of serialized
rows per statement. Send a larger individual record alone. Keep all
statements in the same transaction.
- Verify that a conflict in a later batch rolls back earlier batches,
then import and decrypt the complete checkpoint.
- Record both live failures and the comparison evidence in the
preservation plan.

## Verification

- The updated fixture failed on the original comparison and passes with
this fix.
- Targeted migration, controller recovery, and provider authority tests:
39 passed.
- Full repository typecheck and the latest server typecheck passed
locally. The complete PR workflow passed on `a1f3637c96` (run
41827558125), including build and test gates. The Docker Compose setup
download failed once before the test step; its infrastructure retry
passed. A separate full local test/build run is still in progress.
- A read-only staging preflight inspected 807 selected legacy sessions.
It found zero mismatches under the corrected workspace and full
saved-provider checks.
- A single 538-record, 2.2 MB checkpoint insert repeatedly closed the
live database connection on pooled and direct endpoints. A
forced-rollback comparison imported the identical checkpoint with
batches of 64. An unbatched control failed again after cache warm-up.
The exact server-side disconnect cause remains unknown; all failed
receipts are retained.
- The original failed enrollment and volume are retained. The corrected
importer committed 32 additional sessions and 2,982 checkpoint records.
Full import and deploy handoff remain pending while memory use is
investigated.

## Risks

The import checks durable session authority. A weaker identity check
could import the wrong session. This change retains the saved provider
authority validation and adds an explicit foreign-protocol rejection
test. Batching adds statements for large imports, but a late failure
still rolls back the complete owner transaction. It does not rewrite
session identity, change provider lifecycle, or detach any volume.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, tool use, and code
execution. The exact deployment model ID and context window are not
exposed in this session.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

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

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

Dotta 82dd3bb702 Preserve unstarted queued turns during offline enrollment (#18887)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Existing-volume enrollment moves server files to durable object
storage.
> - Enrollment stops application deployments before it changes file
authority.
> - A task drain keeps unstarted turns queued in the database.
> - The migration rejected every queued row, so a busy instance could
never finish enrollment without discarding requests.
> - This change preserves unstarted queue intent and continues to reject
running or previously started executions.
> - Users keep their pending turns and saved files through the
conversion.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A preserving enrollment found queued turns after task admission stopped.
The workspace, instruction-file, and historical-log guards treated these
rows as live writers. The drain also prevented the rows from starting,
so waiting could not satisfy the migration guard.

**Expected behavior**

After every old deployment has stopped, maintenance can move files while
unstarted queued turns remain unchanged. The replacement claims those
turns through normal admission. Actual executions and retained execution
ownership continue to block migration.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Queue a turn behind another task.
2. Start a task drain and let the current task finish.
3. Stop the application deployments and run offline enrollment.
4. Observe `active_execution_requires_drain` for the unstarted queued
turn.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on the migration contract through #18864. This branch starts
at `ab2d2098a2764c511978d1c3e7a3fc5dfcef07f4`.

Related: #18826, #18835, #18841, #18864. Searches for queued enrollment
and queued migration found no duplicate fix.

## What Changed

- Share one offline execution predicate across workspace, agent-file,
and historical-log migration.
- Reuse the existing pre-dispatch evidence predicate; queued turns with
execution markers, saved checkpoints, source events, coordinators, or
environment leases remain blockers.
- Keep task bindings and normal live-migration restrictions unchanged.
- Exercise normal replacement admission after deleting the old
filesystem: the same queued run reads restored workspace bytes and
instructions, completes its original wake, and cannot execute twice.
- Document the offline boundary and queued-turn behavior.

## Verification

- **111 tests passed** across the final 110-case migration suite and
assembled queued-turn heartbeat proof, with real PostgreSQL and local
S3. This includes workspace/log migration, queued ownership blockers,
ordinary agent-file controls, and the actual bundled maintenance
process.
- The maintenance process preserves the queued row while archiving
historical output. The new assembled heartbeat test creates a normal
wake under drain, migrates without changing either row, deletes the
original filesystem, and resumes through normal admission. It reads
saved workspace bytes and the restored instruction bundle, persists one
successful native result, completes the same wake, and verifies a second
sweep does not duplicate execution. Only sandbox transport/provider
execution are scripted; no live model or Daytona calls.
- An earlier optional run-evidence worker integration invocation was
skipped without its dedicated environment; it is outside the changed
offline path.
- Server typecheck, server build, and runtime bundle passed.
- The first maintenance test exposed the separate agent-file guard; that
guard now uses the same offline predicate and the test passes.
- Initial local typecheck attempts lacked CLI dependency links in this
isolated checkout. Restoring dependencies fixed setup without source
changes.
- Full repository checks run in CI. The first head lost spot runners in
Build and serialized tests; one unchanged idle-deadline fixture crossed
UTC midnight and failed its timestamp assertion. Final-head CI passed on
run 41744678994 after retrying a spot-runner shutdown. Greptile reviewed
the exact final head at 5/5; all inline findings are resolved. The
separate Paperclip Review app remains queued. Hosted enrollment remains
pending release qualification and compatibility verification for the
existing provider configuration.

## Risks

The offline predicate relies on Cloud stopping every old application
deployment. It does not make online migration safe. Running executions
always block. Requeued executions with retained ownership also block. No
queued request, task binding, or recovery state is removed or rewritten.
No database schema changes.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 based, with reasoning and tool-assisted code
execution. The exact deployed model identifier and context-window size
are not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 0ab3ce7a03 fix(workspaces): preserve legacy recovery across storage migration (#18841)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages durable tasks and agent work through the control
plane.
> - An ephemeral web server needs existing workspace files in shared
storage.
> - Failed historical runs can still own recoverable sandbox files or
unfinished coordinator state.
> - Moving local files must preserve those obligations without replaying
the old agent turn.
> - Migration journals the exact source and fences old copyback; the
recovery owner saves verified sandbox files separately.
> - New user input can continue only after matching preservation
receipts and independent execution-stop checks.
> - Accepted results retain their finalization owner and must have its
durable workspace receipt before storage moves.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Builds on merged #18826 and #18835.

**What happened?**

Existing workspaces with failed native copyback could not migrate to
remote storage. Simply changing their storage authority would let later
recovery target a retired local directory, lose child-task attachments,
or leave a recovered task unable to accept a new turn.

**Expected behavior**

Preserve local files, exact sandbox provenance, task bindings,
checkpoints, and unresolved history. Recover surviving sandbox files
into immutable task-scoped attachments after migration, and let a new
authorized user turn use those files without replaying the old
execution.

**Steps to reproduce**

Create a terminal native run with a prepared copyback descriptor and a
retained sandbox. Migrate its local workspace, remove the old host
filesystem, recover the sandbox, and submit a new user turn. Also
exercise a child task reusing its ancestor's workspace and an expired
observed coordinator.

## What Changed

- Journal exact legacy run, task, descriptor, and unfinished coordinator
bindings during offline migration. Descriptor-free runs retain the
complete declared lease/allocation/directory identities; publication
locks and revalidates them.
- Publish a run-scoped fence that prevents automatic restart or copyback
into the retired local authority.
- Release only the exact journaled expired coordinator lease under the
offline deployment fence and locked revalidation, recording the prior
owner in recovery history. Preserve phase, checkpoint, result, and run
status.
- Save recovered sandbox files through the existing immutable snapshot
owner, retaining allocation and provider-stop checks.
- Attach recovered files using the current task's identity when a child
reuses an ancestor workspace.
- Accept matching migration and snapshot receipts for workspace-repair
admission and explicit new-user continuation. Changed coordinator
bindings and invalid receipts remain blocked.
- Require the finalizer's successful workspace_finalize operation before
moving a workspace whose accepted result has finalized copyback; the
existing owner can then finish assessment/status effects.
- Document unresolved workspace-policy, task-ownership, and
missing-provenance cases as separate owner actions that block
detachment.

## Verification

- 569 tests across migration, retained recovery, and explicit
continuation passed on ffcde13f57.
- The final saved-result follow-up passes all 75 migration tests. Four
receipt cases cover prepared copyback, a successful finalization
receipt, a missing receipt, and a failed receipt. The successful case
invokes the actual finalizer after migration and completes the existing
saved operation.
- Five real-file journeys cover a retained host, removed host,
child-task reuse, an expired observed coordinator, and a descriptor-free
run with two separate sandbox allocations. They recover sandbox files,
clear the repair blocker, admit an explicit /new user comment, reserve a
new remote workspace, and verify recovered attachment contents.
- Negative cases reject changed coordinator phase/owner, invalid
migration fences, changed source sets and allocations, mismatched
task/allocation/action receipts, malformed archives, and unfinished
snapshot operations. Descriptor-free continuation requires every
journaled source; one missing archive keeps the hold.
- Twelve PostgreSQL/S3 and maintenance-service tests pass on the exact
final rebuilt runtime, including a plain-Node bundled process,
authenticated original-key export, overlapping task-folder restore, and
complete predecessor filesystem removal. The final server and runtime
bundle builds also pass.
- Head 9ab6a38fa4 passed all 573
migration/recovery/continuation tests, server typecheck, server build,
runtime bundle, and 12 PostgreSQL/S3/bundled-maintenance tests.
- Verification caught an expired-owner continuation rejection (160
recovery cases passed, one failed); the admission fix and subsequent
569-test run passed. Earlier fixture failures and the parent PR's
unrelated full-suite failure remain documented in their verification
history.
- Greptile and Paperclip Review both scored final head
fa58d4a5ce 5/5, with no remaining
findings.
- CI exposed 15 blocker-read projection regressions: descriptor-free
checks performed an extra full run read for ordinary unmigrated tasks.
The follow-up gates the lookup on the migration marker, includes that
marker in the bounded blocker projection, and selects only recovery
fields. All 31 blocker-projection and real-file journey cases plus
server typecheck pass. Final-head CI passed all 52 successful checks,
including repository typecheck, build, server tests, and browser suites.
- Preserved CI failure: the unchanged Runner package had one Cursor
Cloud Stop/checkpoint timing failure (4,903 cases passed). All four
focused local cases passed. Retrying only the failed job and its
verification gate passed without source changes.
- This PR does not claim tenant enrollment or a hosted rolling-deploy
result.

## Risks

Cloud must stop every predecessor deployment before enabling the offline
migration contract. Migration preserves uncertain work; it does not
certify provider termination, invent a completed result, or authorize
sandbox deletion. Missing or ambiguous sources remain held. Preserved
attachments are separate files rather than an automatic merge into newer
task edits. Parallel shared-write policy, stale task ownership, missing
task provenance, and accepted results without a successful finalization
receipt remain enrollment blockers. Original folders and the original
volume remain retained.

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository tools, and code
execution. This session does not expose a more specific serving model ID

DottaandPaperclip 2a16dcf629 fix(workspaces): preserve shared directory trees during enrollment (#18835)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A volume-free web server needs existing task files in durable object
storage.
> - Historical workspace records can share a physical folder or contain
other task folders.
> - A task-level migration hold cannot fence every alias, and capturing
a parent recursively duplicates nested task data.
> - Offline enrollment imports children first and verifies their durable
coverage before omitting them from a parent archive.
> - Snapshot retention preserves those child versions for as long as a
covering parent depends on them.
> - Existing files, task bindings, and archived states remain intact
through the storage migration.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Builds on merged #18826.

**What happened?**

The per-workspace importer could capture a shared project folder while
another workspace record still owned the same path. It also recursively
included runtime-created nested task workspaces in each parent import.
Packaged enrollment rejected existing workspace data instead of invoking
its migration owner.

**Expected behavior**

Require offline maintenance for overlapping paths. Import nested tasks
before their parents, verify every excluded directory against its saved
snapshot, preserve dependencies through retention, and resume
interrupted imports without replacing existing remote authority.

**Steps to reproduce**

Create a project workspace and another task workspace below its
`.paperclip/worktrees/` directory. Try importing either while ordinary
writers are running, then run offline enrollment. Interrupt a parent
import after upload and resume it.

## What Changed

- Add physical-overlap admission checks and an offline entry-point
guard, including global running and queued executions.
- Import pending records in leaf-first pages through the existing
migration owner.
- Verify nested snapshots by downloading, restoring, and comparing the
original source before and after parent upload; check transitive
dependencies.
- Publish parent dependency receipts under child snapshot row locks.
Retention pins those children and revisits them when the parent is
deleted.
- Index imported-child dependency lookups with a partial GIN index; a
PostgreSQL query-plan regression covers 2,500 unrelated snapshots.
- Propagate cancellation through capture and object storage operations
and preserve existing retry journals.
- Wire workspace migration into packaged maintenance and document its
preservation contract.

## Verification

- The original overlap and duplicate-parent regressions failed before
implementation.
- 73 migration and retention tests pass against real PostgreSQL and
files, including interrupted uploads, resumed batches, equal-path
aliases, changed or missing child data, nested descendants, and active
or queued executions.
- Six S3-compatible storage integration tests pass, including migration
through the maintenance owner and restoration of both parent and child
after deleting the original filesystem.
- The standalone process case was initially skipped because the worktree
had no bundle. After rebuilding the server and runtime bundle, that test
passed against PostgreSQL and S3: authenticated ready/export receipts,
preserved decision secret, blocked application routes, and clean SIGTERM
shutdown.
- Server typecheck, server build, runtime bundle build, and
module-boundary checks passed. Full repository CI passed on
97136a20b9 after targeted retries of
infrastructure-interrupted jobs.
- Review fixes resolve physical paths through symlinked ancestors and
persist each parent journal’s original capture scope, including
pre-change journals. All three new regressions failed before their
fixes. An initial abort/retry test exposed JSON object-key ordering in
the saved scope; deep equality fixes that case, and the full migration
suite passed.
- Three new fixtures initially omitted required workspace fields; one
also omitted its task binding. The fixtures now satisfy the existing
contract; production validation was not relaxed.
- The parent PR's full local suite stopped on a chat retry-notice
timeout and a following fake-timer failure. All four relevant cases
passed separately without source changes; this is not a claim that the
full local suite passed.
- No staging enrollment or live rolling-deploy result is claimed by this
PR.

## Risks

The offline flag is an internal maintenance contract: Cloud must
actually stop every predecessor deployment before starting the process.
Deep or large trees require additional object downloads and source
comparisons and may exceed one maintenance window; import journals
support retry. Dependency lookups are company-scoped and event-driven,
with no added idle polling. Unavailable archived sources and unresolved
recovery/copyback still block migration and require separate owner work.
Unsupported local providers and cleanup_failed workspaces deliberately
remain enrollment blockers: filtering them from both the batch and
eligibility would abandon local files when the volume is detached. Two
regression tests prove that rejected records keep their files and do not
acquire remote authority. Original folders and the original volume
remain retained. The additional review request to ignore parallel-write
policy, stale task ownership, or a missing task binding in offline mode
is intentionally not applied: stopping deployments does not establish
those semantics. #18841 documents the separate owner actions and adds
three offline regressions preserving their files and blocking detach.
The batch reports the first failed workspace and supports journaled
retry; it does not promise aggregate diagnostics.

DottaandPaperclip 1f55073f96 fix(cursor-cloud): support API-only controllers on managed stacks (#18310)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents at work.
> - Cursor Cloud hosts execution behind its API.
> - Product setup still expected a Paperclip Computer.
> - Managed-only tenants therefore rejected valid setup.
> - This admits the validated API-owned controller.
> - Authority, Stop proof, budgets and cleanup remain enforced.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18068 and #18069; both dependencies have merged.

**What happened?**

Managed-only setup still requested a Computer. Live tests exposed
missing Cursor Stop proof and duplicate replay.

**Expected behavior**

Use Cursor’s API controller. Verify provider/controller termination and
replay each log identity once.

**Steps to reproduce**

Enable native Runner/managed-only. Configure Cursor model/repository/key
without a Computer, then Test, finish setup, run and Stop.

## What Changed

- Derive API-only placement from validated native Cursor configuration;
reject placement/command/workspace/home overrides and keep
Kubernetes-only execution closed.
- Skip Computers/checkout/workspace realization. Keep scoped tools,
completion, private staging, budgets, leases and recovery. Persist
placement; reject contradictions.
- Align Cloud cards, Test, Save and Finish setup; hold unready drafts.
Legacy keeps its Computer, credential and policy checks.
- Verify Stop from exact API ownership, audited intent,
provider-terminal proof, no Computer/process ownership and controller
retirement. Recheck immediate/deferred retirement; wake existing
recovery on durable evidence.
- Clear warnings when the actual stopped target later has authoritative
confirmation. Keep missing/other-run negatives and the existing
predicate.
- Publish safe status refresh after full-proof ACK. Retain bounded
native/physical cancellation history; add no poller or weaker proof
path.

## Verification

Core merged as `3910352c923a`; Product merged as `27d35314be8e`. Public
branch `5f86eb66b081` has tree `67344151d303`. Its exact-head Greptile
summary is 5/5; the fresh audit found zero unresolved threads and
complete pagination. The controlled workspace retry and required summary
passed. All 59 current-head contexts are terminal and clean. Prior
green-36 evidence keeps its identity.

[Current
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41680511731)
first failed workspaces-a 1/2: the CLI company-import/export beforeAll
30-second runtime-info/child-PID/HTTP readiness wait expired. All 431 UI
files/4,714 tests and 285 other CLI tests passed (one skip). The cause
remains UNKNOWN. Child output records startup recovery complete, but
buffered CI prefixes do not establish its relation to the waiter
deadline; runtime-file/PID/last-health state was not captured. Both
unchanged local probes were RED. The second observed dependency
preflight still pending at the deadline; observer overhead was not
quantified. Neither proves the CI cause. After all functional jobs
finished, only the queued metadata summary was cancelled; the other 48
records stayed unchanged. Attempt 1 retains 46 successes, the original
failure, one skip and the cancelled summary. One same-head debug retry
was admitted at 18:42 UTC on November 3. Its workspace job passed at
19:23 UTC on the same checkout: UI 431 files/4,714 tests and CLI 33
files/286 tests, including company import/export. Test caching was
disabled. The new `ci / verify` summary passed; workflow attempt 2
completed SUCCESS. Required `ci / e2e` also passed. The final check at
19:53 UTC on November 3 found all 59 current-head contexts terminal and
clean: zero pending and zero failing. The 47 inherited completed/skipped
rows are not new executions. No code, assertion or timeout changed;
success does not explain the original failure or erase the local REDs.

CI checkout is `1ea9d8608ced`/tree `78cb1ec13d59` (parents
`2e37c73c05fe`, 5f86); both workflows use 2e37. Its 20 extra paths add
low-memory build/Rust task-memory. Scripts cohere; later matrix changes
only labels, with no newer debug-cache steps. Static audit found no
blocker. Supported API arguments omit the memory flag: no default
monitor/instruction changes. Flagged external launchers can change
Cursor instructions/digests and remain unqualified.

The merge added 41 master-identical paths, retained the green-36 inbox
hunk and found UI fixtures matching upstream. Startup/backup, recovery
projection, sleep diagnostics and binary backup change production.
Static audit found eight Stop/ACK owner blobs and 37 sleep-work SQL
templates unchanged, with sleep fences/single-flight accounting intact.
Exact precommit tree: 416/416 across eight server files, binary backup
1/1, server types PASS; repeated scopes are not summed.

The deferred-retirement P1 reproduced three real-DB/owned-process
failures; missing proof stayed unverified. Recovery passed 47 process
cases/33 proof negatives. Warning repair binds actual targets to
same-run proof. Validation passed 729 scoped UI cases, a separate
359-case thread run, 111 backend cases (84 CAS, 6 assembled, 21
activity/privacy), types/tokens. Proof validators/predicate are
unchanged; no new poller or increased timeout.

The d8d3 attempt stays FAILED: 45 passes, two workspaces-a failures,
derived verify failure and one skip. Both shards shared three failures:
two successful mocks omitted the account guard’s required userId. The
two-line fixture repair changed no guard, assertion or timeout. Three
failures reproduced; 54 access/auth tests then passed, including
account-change/denial negatives, plus UI types/tokens.

The 69285 attempt stays FAILED: 49 jobs, 46 passed, serialized shard 9
failed, its verify aggregate failed and one selection job skipped. The
shard passed 575/576 cases. Its aborted-snapshot case expected nine
computes but saw eight: a final HTTP 200 coalesced while seven ordinary
reads had not proved the aborted compute settled. Earlier CI and the
unmodified local baseline passed with a miss; no local RED is claimed.
The repair awaits the snapshot, allows exactly one extra GET if
coalesced, then requires a miss and retains nine computes/all HTTP429
assertions. No production code, hook, loop, sleep or timeout changed.
Six inbox and seven cache/admission cases passed locally, plus server
types; 30 unrelated cases were filtered. Green 36 passed 576/576 without
taking the extra-GET branch; local runs also missed that schedule.
Current CI event merge 1ea9 now passed 576/576 and naturally exercised
the former failure: coalesced (count 2, 1ms), then exactly one fresh
miss (count 1, 16ms), with strict nine-compute/HTTP429 assertions
intact. No instrumentation or retry was added.

Earlier compatibility passed scoped remote/inbox, routine, API-placement
and UI tests, plus types/migrations/snapshots/maps/tokens. The 89-path
adoption restored fleet routing without workflow overrides or added
skips. Each result retains its source identity.

Live qualification remains actual `9af1a5de42a2`: unchanged Artifact
grader PASSED 17/17 and active-Stop grader PASSED 21/21. All three
provider test resources were deleted canonically with GET404;
post-delete download returned the exact 27 bytes. Histories stayed
stable (Artifact 121 and Stop 67 canonical identities), with 21 company
runs, zero active work and no accounting/cancellation/reservation debt
or integrity findings. Saved settings reopened; no-prompt Test/Linux
admission passed with `claude-sonnet-4-5`. No new Save is claimed.

The first Stop sampling case stays FAILED on a 10.373-second gap.
Unchanged retry kept all 24 samples: 35.076 seconds quiet, maximum gap
4.584 seconds, plus a separate CANCELLED/artifact-absent read after 180
seconds. Initial grading rejected locator spelling before functional
checks; metadata changed only after same-file/inode/byte proof, with raw
evidence/oracles unchanged. Original Question/Plan/reconnect and
historical deleted-artifact results keep their identities.

Git trees verified 11 history-only conflicts and six earlier mainline
paths. Hosted 9af to the public BRANCH differs in 222 paths; 13,500
other mode/blob leaves match. Runner runtime implementations and six
observer/driver pins match 9af on that branch only; inherited
`drivers/acpx/runtime-host.test.ts` differs. No all-Runner/src,
CI/latest-master runtime or image equality is claimed. Later static
audits through `8ab89f41e499` found no concrete API-only blocker. That
base adds completed-history sleep proofs and an MCP cleanup migration;
protected Stop/ACK owners are unchanged. These later changes are outside
this CI and have no live qualification here. Host duplicate-card and
later recovery/UI repairs retain separate proof, not deployed 9af
identity. Direct-key coverage requires absent aiConnection; API-only
placement skips inherited remote-workspace disk-full paths, and
config-read gates match their parent.

Other retained failures: stale fixture 132/133; E8 48/135 with 87
reset-hook failures; Mac 17 SQL failures/skips;
title/startup/custody/Stop/deletion unknown causes and bounded
recoveries; superseded warning/50 duplicate identities; pre-repair
ACK/Core CI failures. Fixture RED/GREEN passed 7/7 browser and 121/121
shutdown tests with a failing broken-unsubscribe control; stable WSP
wrapper passed 128 after physical teardown failure. No full local-suite
pass is inferred. All paid attempts remain recorded; vendor dollar cost
is UNKNOWN.

## Risks

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

The placement exception applies only to validated native Cursor API
execution. Other local work remains denied under managed-only policy.
Missing/stale Stop or cleanup proof stays pending; damaged archives
remain failed. Explicit Legacy keeps its existing policy owners.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex/GPT-6 family: tools, execution, browser checks, delegated
review. API ID/context window unavailable.

DottaandPaperclip f836fec59e perf(budgets): avoid company lock for routine eligibility checks (#18830)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents at work.
> - The budget service checks whether an agent can start work.
> - Preliminary checks acquired the company accounting lock even with no
budget policy.
> - Independent checks then waited behind accounting writes for the same
company.
> - This pull request reads one consistent snapshot before it decides
whether reconciliation is needed.
> - Healthy checks avoid the writer lock. State changes and final paid
admission retain their existing authority.
> - The benefit is less company-wide contention during routine
eligibility checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17697 (the preliminary-check portion). Refs #17817 (related
serialization in agent configuration).

Related approach: #17966. That PR adds a precheck for policies that
cannot block. This PR also avoids the lock for healthy active hard-stop
policies and manual pause reads. It uses a repeatable-read snapshot and
leaves public transactional admission locked. It does not add the
inactive-policy spend filtering proposed in #17966.

**Current behavior**

Every public `getInvocationBlock` call takes the company writer lock.
Healthy checks can wait behind an unrelated receipt or settlement
operation.

**Proposed behavior**

Read current scope state, policies, exposure and relevant incidents in a
read-only snapshot. Return directly when no transition is needed.
Otherwise discard the snapshot and reconcile current state under the
company lock.

**Reason and benefit**

Independent preliminary checks can finish while another transaction owns
the company row. Final reservations and paid-work admission still
serialize against current accounting state.

## What Changed

- Separate preliminary eligibility inspection from mutating
reconciliation in the budget service.
- Share scope loading, pause decisions and soft-incident resolution
conditions between the two paths.
- Keep no-policy checks free of exposure scans and incident reads.
- Add inspection and reconciliation spans to the existing operator-gated
Observability path.
- Add PostgreSQL contention tests and regressions for pauses, holds,
incidents, recovering native accounting and company boundaries.
- Use the shared fixture startup timeout. Per-test deadlines and the 500
ms lock timeout stay intact.
- Update the implementation contract and tracing documentation. Add
dated investigation and future-design notes. The future accounting
architecture remains a proposal.

## Verification

- 73 targeted tests passed across eight files on implementation commit
`244db565`. No tests were skipped. The files cover budget service,
enforcement scoping and delivery, live receipt attempts, budget history,
run settlement, heartbeat accounting and budget tracing.
- Real PostgreSQL tests hold the company accounting lock while routine
checks finish. The same reader's authoritative admission instead fails
with PostgreSQL lock timeout `55P03`.
- Full workspace typecheck passed before the rebase: `node
scripts/typecheck-low-memory.mjs`.
- Full workspace build passed before the rebase:
`PAPERCLIP_TYPECHECK_LOW_MEMORY=1 pnpm -r --workspace-concurrency=1
build`. The Runner release binary was rebuilt from source.
- `node scripts/check-module-boundaries.mjs` and `git diff --check`
passed.
- Initial local setup failed before assertions: cold fixture setup
exceeded 20 seconds, then a missing SDK build was exposed. The fixture
now uses the shared 90-second startup allowance. The SDK was built
before the successful test run. An incomplete local Copilot artifact
also blocked the first build; the pinned installer repaired it before
the successful canonical retry.
- The branch rebased cleanly onto master `83b5f7d486`. All 73 targeted
tests then passed again on clean head
`244db565ae206502b100c3cdf5cd86a0ae91b372` (eight files, no skips). The
full local Vitest suite was not run; remote CI must verify the wider
suite.
- Initial remote CI failed three monitor-scheduler cases at the suite's
three-second heartbeat-idle wait. The unchanged suite then passed all 21
tests locally (`pnpm exec vitest run
src/__tests__/issue-monitor-scheduler.test.ts`, 70.13 seconds). The one
failed-job rerun was cancelled after the review follow-up was pushed; it
produced no pass/fail result. No scheduler assertions or timeouts were
changed. On updated head `ba2ab2a0`, the unchanged monitor suite passed
all 21 tests in 38.381 seconds in [server shard
10/12](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41702687492/job/126151059714).
That shard passed 115 files and 2,677 tests, with no failures (one file
and 20 tests skipped by existing suite configuration).
- The independent review identified missing recovering-run coverage. The
added contention case requires the locked fallback while another
accounting writer holds the company row, then verifies the recovery
block without pausing or cancelling recovery. The regression is in
follow-up commit `ba2ab2a0b001f7bd69e0f86fb89a842e79b0e2b8`. All 19
budget-service tests passed locally (no skips, 48.89 seconds), and `pnpm
--filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` passed after the follow-up.
- The updated CI run then hit a separate plugin-refresh fixture timeout
at its final re-enable settle. The unchanged
`external-object-refresh-work.test.ts` suite passed all 24 tests locally
(52.02 seconds). Inspection identified a possible fake-clock race: its
quiet helper can observe no scheduled deadline while reconstruction is
still active, then encounter the existing 30-second reconstruction
cooldown. The one same-head failed-job retry
[passed](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41702687492/job/126158227876):
refresh suite 24/24, shard 115 files and 4,125 tests passed (one file
and four tests skipped by existing configuration). No assertions,
timeouts, or product code were changed.
- [Full
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41702687492)
passed on exact head `ba2ab2a0b001f7bd69e0f86fb89a842e79b0e2b8`: build,
typecheck, Runner checks, all server/workspace suites and E2E. Both
required aggregates are successful. All 59 checks are terminal: 54
successful, two advisory neutral and three expected skips. The PR is
mergeable with a clean merge state.
- Deployment latency and CPU effects have not been measured.
- Greptile reviewed updated head
`ba2ab2a0b001f7bd69e0f86fb89a842e79b0e2b8`: 5/5, no actionable findings
or unresolved Greptile threads.
- Independent Paperclip review on the updated head: advisory 4/5, no
blocker, recovery gap confirmed resolved. One canonical maintainability
advisory remains visible and is documented below.

## Risks

- Preliminary inspection can precede a concurrent policy or pause
change. It grants no paid dispatch authority. The final locked admission
and reservation checks remain required.
- Healthy configured policies add an incident lookup. An unheld blocking
scope can compute exposure during both inspection and locked
revalidation. Already-held scopes skip the first exposure computation.
- Holds and incidents must retain their existing transition effects. The
fallback reads them again under the company lock, rather than mutating
from the earlier snapshot.
- Eligibility inspection and reconciliation still maintain separate
transition lists. Future reconciliation changes must update the
inspection predicate and its contention coverage together; consolidating
the effects model remains a nonblocking review follow-up.
- No schema or API response change is required. This change does not
relax the current budget enforcement contract.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex with model `gpt-6.1-sol`. Used reasoning, repository
inspection, code execution and delegated review. The session did not
expose the context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 2035118526 fix(workspaces): preserve archived data during remote migration (#18826)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Remote workspace storage lets the web server run without a
persistent volume.
> - Existing deployments also contain archived and historical task
workspaces.
> - Retention can remove their folders while preserving encrypted
restore points or Git reconstruction records.
> - The importer rejected those records and only accepted the task's
current workspace.
> - This pull request imports verified saved data without reopening or
rebinding tasks.
> - The benefit is preservation of existing work during an explicit
storage migration.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18403 and #17472.

**What happened?**

An explicit remote-workspace import rejected archived records,
historical task bindings, and removed folders with valid retained data.

**Expected behavior**

Import the recorded files or exact Git commit. Preserve archived state
and the task's current binding. Refuse missing, expired, corrupt, or
changed sources.

**Steps to reproduce**

Archive a task directory with a restore point, remove its folder, and
run the remote-workspace import. Repeat with a Git restore point
containing an unpushed commit and staged and unstaged edits. The
previous importer reports an inactive workspace or missing source.

## What Changed

- Preserve lifecycle state and current task binding while importing
archived and historical records. Recheck the binding before publication
and on resume.
- Expose the task-directory owner's validated restore-point reader.
Reuse it for ordinary restoration and migration.
- Restore archived directories and Git data into private scratch space.
Support saved Git recipes and exact legacy branch-deletion receipts.
- Recover pruned unpushed Git commits from the encrypted bundle and its
explicit prerequisites.
- Keep independent snapshot download, restoration, source checks, writer
guards, encryption, and atomic publication.
- Document the supported import sources and the remaining
tenant-enrollment gaps.

## Verification

- Before production edits, two new regressions failed on archived status
and historical task binding.
- Final focused verification: 58 tests pass across remote-workspace
migration and isolated task-directory restoration.
- Real PostgreSQL, Git repositories, encrypted storage, and restored
file bytes cover cold restoration after removing the old folder and
source object, pruned unpushed history, index and worktree edits,
corrupt/missing/expired sources, binding changes, and source-folder
races.
- A Git fixture initially lacked runtime ownership metadata. Correcting
the fixture made the valid retained-source case pass; no production
validation was weakened.
- Full repository typecheck and build passed. Full `pnpm test:run`
stopped in chat integration shard 2 after two failures: a retry-notice
timeout and a subsequent fake-timer error. All four cases in that
retry-notice group passed in a separate focused rerun without source
changes; the complete suite has not passed locally. All exact-head CI
jobs passed. The separate Paperclip Review app check is still queued;
all existing review threads are resolved. Server typecheck passed after
the review fixes.
- Both review findings were reproduced: the real cleanup owner's
verified-tip receipt was rejected, and a lost upload reply for a legacy
Git source failed with `operation_content_changed`. The fixes accept the
owner's scoped receipt metadata and rebuild reconstructed Git indexes
from their staged trees. Both regressions now pass, including retained
staged and unstaged edits.
- Additional coverage restores from a fresh HTTP clone after deleting
the original repository, imports a nested local checkout with encrypted
settings, and rejects an unapproved nested source without publishing
remote authority.
- This PR does not claim a completed tenant enrollment or a new
zero-downtime deployment proof.

## Risks

Imports can fail when old receipts or repository objects are
unavailable. They retain their migration journal and leave the original
state intact. Operators must resolve pending writers and recovery before
importing. Shared physical roots, nested worktrees, and unresolved
sandbox recovery require separate migration work. This change does not
remove those blockers or alter automatic retention.

## Model Used

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

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

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

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

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

## Risks

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

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

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 60a99307b3 fix(server): settle cleanup after reusable sandbox destruction (#18633)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A web-server replacement must preserve work and let completed
cleanup become idle.
> - Several task turns can use one remote sandbox through recorded lease
handoffs.
> - The last owner can destroy that sandbox while an earlier owner still
waits for its own termination receipt.
> - A completed agent-file cleanup can also retain a retry deadline from
a competing callback.
> - This pull request resolves confirmed destruction through the
existing handoff contract and settles obsolete cleanup retries.
> - The benefit is correct cleanup recovery without deleting history or
weakening sleep checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #18554. Related work: #14695 handles warm agent-file ownership;
#13291 handles interrupted conversation continuation. This PR fixes
cleanup recovery after confirmed final destruction. It does not change
provider process reuse or start a new run.

**What happened?**

After ten qualified staging web-server replacements, a bounded
database-idle check failed. Completed native runs still owned pending
agent-file cleanup. Normal workspace archive confirmed final sandbox
destruction. An earlier lease in the same recorded handoff chain
remained unresolved. Two completed cleanup receipts also kept stale
retry deadlines.

**Expected behavior**

Resolve an earlier owner's cleanup only when the complete recorded
handoff chain leads to an exact provider-confirmed destruction receipt.
Clear a retry when its cleanup is already complete. Keep real or
uncertain work pending.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Complete a remote run, reuse its sandbox for a second run, then
archive the completed workspace.
2. Recover agent-file collection for the first run after the final lease
confirms destruction.
3. Separately, reconstruct a completed cleanup receipt that still has a
retry deadline.
4. Observe that both records remain unfinished without this fix.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Observed on `1a6017d6460267ad89d7e1784e2b521c28d8e9ac`. The changed
source was unchanged in master
`97c4dc969e13364464765ffbde74955005bf44d3`, which is this branch's base.

**Deployment mode**

A managed ephemeral web server with PostgreSQL, object storage and a
remote sandbox. Regression tests use local PostgreSQL and no live
provider or model calls.

## What Changed

- Resolve remote termination at read time through the existing strict
reusable-lease handoff validator. Require one final owner and a valid
destruction receipt. Preserve historical lease rows.
- Use the same proof in agent-directory cleanup and remote-stop
inspection. Keep stopped, ambiguous, broken and cross-company chains
blocked.
- Reconcile completed cleanup receipts with stale retry deadlines
through the existing deadline worker. Compare the receipt before
clearing a deadline.
- Add recovery, refusal, restart quietness and concurrent-obligation
regressions.
- Document the cleanup contract and preserve deployment evidence, failed
checks and remaining acceptance work in the existing plan.

## Verification

- Both owning service suites passed 169 tests before the final receipt
comparison was added.
- The seven-case selection passed again after the release-race review
fix: `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/agent-directory-working-copies.test.ts -t 'stale
retry|destroyed successor chain|stale-deadline settlement'`.
- Repository-wide `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed on final
review fix `7935d99bed`. The full `pnpm test:run` is still running.
Latest-head CI has 55 successful checks, three skips, and one neutral
review result. Greptile is 5/5. The Paperclip reviewer’s race finding is
fixed; its optional query-deduplication suggestion is documented and the
fresh lock-boundary checks are retained.
- The reviewer identified an early return after a lost receipt
comparison. The strengthened race regression failed before the fix and
passed afterward: release now acts on the returned authoritative row,
completes the new cleanup obligation, and preserves canonical files.
- The first focused attempt failed the new stale-deadline test because
the public release guard skipped settlement. That guard was fixed. The
original failure is retained. A sandboxed typecheck could not fetch pnpm
signature metadata; the normal network-enabled command passed without
changing verification policy.
- Prior deployed evidence: ten Railway replacements, 12,521 reads, 1,566
verified saves, 34 matching file hashes, no HTTP failures, actual
browser reconnects of 1.16–1.29 seconds, and one remote execution
retained across replacement. Two harness false alarms were separately
adjudicated without redeploying those steps.
- That deployment evidence predates this PR. Current-image natural idle,
automatic sleep/wake browser return and the isolated production canary
remain unverified. Production has not changed.

## Risks

- Cleanup authority must not cross a company or allocation boundary. The
existing validator checks the entire recorded chain; stopped successors
and unexpected owners remain unresolved.
- Confirmed destruction permits no-save cleanup. It does not claim that
uncollected agent files were saved.
- Read-time resolution adds a scoped lease-history query only for
expired reusable leases without direct termination proof. No new
recurring worker or polling cadence is added.
- The deadline update must not erase new work. It requires the same
cleanup receipt and preserves concurrent changes.
- No schema or public API changes are included.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository inspection, code
execution and test tools. The precise backend revision and
context-window size are not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 1a6017d646 fix(server): resume suspended sessions after controller replacement (#18554)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A web server replacement must preserve a completed conversation as
well as active execution.
> - A warm remote Runner can suspend before the replacement admits
another turn.
> - The replacement restores its controller checkpoint from PostgreSQL,
but lacks the Runner suspension receipt.
> - It therefore tries to adopt a live process and rejects the safely
suspended source.
> - This change restores the verified receipt and preserves retained
launch files while the old authority is reconciled.
> - Later turns can keep the same provider conversation after the old
web server filesystem is deleted.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18552, #18543, #18366.

**What happened?**

The real rolling-deployment journey passed both HTTP handoffs, with 765
reads and 78 verified saves. The first three agent turns kept their
native and provider sessions. After the second replacement, the fourth
continuation failed with `remote_warm_session_not_idle`. The remote
Runner was suspended with an empty outbox and no pending terminal. A
focused regression reproduced that exact failure. After restoring its
suspension receipt, the same test exposed a stale launch-file read
during source recovery.

**Expected behavior**

A replacement can resume the same provider conversation from a settled
suspended Runner. It must validate the physical sandbox and all
persisted identity fields. A live source must still pass the existing
adoption checks.

**Steps to reproduce**

Enable the Linux Runner fixture for
`native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts`. Run the
`diskless-warm-suspended` cases. The fixture completes and gracefully
suspends each source, deletes the controller projections, and admits a
later turn from another process. It does not write a synthetic
suspension receipt.

## What Changed

- Reuse the existing per-turn suspended-receipt reader before warm
admission chooses live adoption or suspended recovery.
- Keep the receipt read retryable when a failed remote read leaves only
the controller projection.
- Leave every non-suspended warm state to the existing live-adoption
checks. A preliminary backpressure observation cannot reject admission
before that owner inspects the current Runner state.
- Preserve current sandbox binding, settled-outbox, exact-identity,
local-evidence and admission checks.
- Pass the structured launch specification to remote asset preparation.
Source reconciliation keeps the old authority's retained launch files; a
current-authority launch still stages its current files.
- Add two Linux Runner/PostgreSQL regressions for two controller-cache
deletions and three turns on one provider thread, including an
interrupted receipt read.
- Update the deployment qualification record, including the failed live
evidence and the successful staging database-idle observation.

## Verification

- Before the fix, the focused regression fails with the exact live
`remote_warm_session_not_idle` error.
- Both new regressions pass with real PostgreSQL and Linux Runner. The
provider is deterministic; this is not a live model qualification.
- The first receipt-only fix failed on the deleted controller skills
cache. The completed fix passes that same scenario without recreating
fixture launch assets.
- All 1,067 surrounding launch supervision, warm recovery, launch-asset
and controller recovery tests pass. The exact `cc23019691` server build
passes. All ten Linux continuity cases pass, including live adoption,
graceful suspension, per-turn resume, changed configuration and
failed-read retry. Each case checks provider-thread identity and exact
turn counts. The live Codex/Daytona journey passes on the same clean
source and exact build: 518 reads, 53 saves and 53 verified saves with
zero probe failures; both predecessor homes deleted; the active
execution completes once; all four turns preserve the provider
conversation and native receipts; saved files and the final command
output are independently checked. No automatic retries. Child credential
and object-storage bucket cleanup pass. Browser reconnection remains a
separate hosted acceptance check.
- The review refinement has a failing-before regression: only the
preliminary read reports transient backpressure; the subsequent adoption
reads the real Runner state. It and both suspension cases pass on the
final source (three cases), with server typecheck. The existing idle
check remains unchanged. An initial retry hit a fixture port left by the
intentional pre-fix failure; a fresh container resolved that
infrastructure error.
- Independent cleanup verification found two archived setup sandboxes
left by the live harness. Both were deleted and confirmed absent. The
failed automatic-cleanup check remains recorded.
- No claim of the ten-deploy Railway campaign or production canary yet.

## Risks

- A cold warm-session admission can now make one bounded remote state
read when local lifecycle evidence is absent. Its failure stops
admission and remains retryable.
- This path cannot replace contradictory local evidence, transfer
authority, or treat a suspended process as a live one.
- Source recovery must keep the previous authority's launch files until
reconciliation completes. The launch identity selects that behavior;
ordinary launches still prepare current assets.
- No schema migration or public API change.

and integration-test tools. The exact runtime model variant and
context-window size are not exposed in this session.

CI qualification note: first final-head run `41322376054` passed the
native/runtime and remaining suites but failed the unrelated
`automatic_message_on_reactivation` browser fixture at its
pre-reactivation deferred-queue count (0 rather than 1). The unchanged
test passed locally against isolated PostgreSQL (1 test, 43.6 s);
inspection found an asynchronous company-pause/fixture-seeding timing
window. Original CI logs and local evidence are retained. The single
failed-job retry passed; all final-head CI gates are green. Both reviews
are 5/5 and no review threads remain unresolved. The first local
embedded-Postgres launch failed before tests during cluster
initialization; the isolated external-Postgres test passed, and its
disposable database was removed after correcting the private launcher
cleanup call.

DottaandPaperclip c0550e7010 fix(server): preserve sessions and defer busy overlap recovery (#18552)
## Thinking Path

work.
> - A web server replacement must preserve remote execution and later
task continuation.

home.

paths as configuration.

its terminal metadata.

controller.
> - This change preserves durable session identity and terminal
evidence, and defers locked recovery work so overlap can reach
readiness.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18543, #18366, #9977, #18118.

**What happened?**

A real Codex/Daytona journey replaced both control-plane servers and
deleted their homes. Reads, saves, saved files and active execution
passed. A later useful answer used a new provider session. All four run
records lacked the native terminal contract. The whole qualification
therefore failed. A later attempt also exposed startup failure: the
replacement waited for a row lock held by the serving controller and
aborted on its one-second lock timeout.

**Expected behavior**

An unchanged managed instruction entry and immutable skill version
retain the session across server cache relocation. Actual content and
configuration changes still reset it. A committed native receipt retains
its terminal contract even when the originating adapter never returns. A
busy recovery row defers through the existing scheduler while the
replacement reaches readiness.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the `rolling-web-deployment.runner-codex.daytona.recover-controller`
Product E2E cell with separate controller homes and shared
PostgreSQL/S3. The focused regressions reproduce the failures without a
model call.

## What Changed

- Read the managed instruction entry digest from the company-scoped
durable file head. Do not restore or read the cache for this check.
- Omit disposable instruction paths only when that durable authority
exists. Fingerprint selected immutable skill versions in both runtime
skill inputs.
- Preserve the existing local and external instruction path checks, and
unversioned skill identity.
- Publish the accepted native terminal contract in the same transaction
as the canonical result receipt.
- Skip locked recovery rows and schedule the same run for retry. Avoid
an audit write that would block on the same row. No ownership is
transferred while busy.
- Keep replacement readiness independent of an in-progress skill
selection; migration and cache eviction still require exact pins.
Missing durable skill versions still refuse startup.
- Project only the instruction digest in SQL instead of loading the
entire agent-file manifest per admission.
- Add real PostgreSQL lock contention tests for the issue, run and
coordinator, including the heartbeat startup caller and later claim.
- Limit native test teardown to its owned database on a shared test
host. The old behavior also fails on clean master.
- Add cache-loss, scope, changed-content, changed-version and
finalization regressions. Update the deployment qualification record.

## Verification

- Both focused regressions failed before the source changes.
- All 249 tests pass across `heartbeat-workspace-session`,
`agent-file-durability`, and `paperclip-control-plane-port`.
- Server typecheck and exact-revision build pass.
- Assembled admission ran 59 passing cases but failed during
native-suite teardown. The teardown failure reproduced on clean master.
All 16 native resumption cases and teardown pass after the
database-scope fix.
- All three row-lock regressions fail with the pre-fix lock timeout and
pass with deferred recovery. The full recovery suite passes 74 cases,
including the startup caller; eight Docker-specific cases were not
enabled.
- The real attempt at `d2165dec5d` failed when B aborted on the run
lock. Its credential and bucket were removed; all three provider
sandboxes were independently confirmed absent. The next real attempt at
`aae8a53d01` failed a different readiness gate while a run was preparing
skill pins. That race now has a failing-before regression; all 33
readiness, durable-file and managed-skill tests pass after the fix. Its
owned resources are cleaned. The `a15a12651c` live attempt passed both
web replacements: 765 reads, 78 saves and 78 verified saves with zero
HTTP probe failures. The first three turns preserved the provider
session and native terminal contract. The fourth continuation failed
because a safely suspended remote Runner was treated as live/idle; that
distinct recovery gap is being handled in a follow-up. All three owned
sandboxes were independently confirmed absent. No claim of full Railway
qualification yet.

## Risks

- The new fingerprint shape may reset a session once when upgrading from
older fingerprint metadata. It is stable across subsequent cache
replacements.
- A versioned skill is identified by its immutable selected version;
materialization and admission still enforce availability. Unversioned
skills retain their existing path boundary.
- A native terminal describes the accepted execution result. Workspace
and issue settlement remain separate authorities.
- This does not yet prove the ten-deploy staging campaign, natural
database autosuspension or the production canary.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18518, #18529, #18533.

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

**Paperclip version or commit**

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

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

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

## Risks

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

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

DottaandPaperclip 247552fe07 test(server): avoid deep traversal in durable file assertions (#18533)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Cloud web servers restore agent files from shared storage after
replacement.
> - The durability test checks restoration, corruption, cancellation and
retry.
> - Its generic equality assertions traverse every byte in many large
buffers.
> - The post-merge check for #18531 exceeded the 15-second test timeout.
> - This change uses native buffer equality and keeps every byte check.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18531.

The post-merge Cloud-source verification run timed out in the new
cold-folder test. Other shards passed. The unchanged test passed
locally. This change removes avoidable assertion cost; it does not
increase test or production timeouts.

## What Changed

- Use `Buffer.equals` for the cold-folder content assertions.
- Keep the concurrency, cancellation, cleanup, old-projection and retry
assertions.
- Record packaged-image proof, the hosted deployment state and the
original CI failure in the existing plan.

## Verification

- Eight durability tests passed against a real local PostgreSQL fixture.
Object storage uses controlled asynchronous streams.
- The same test file took 10.03 seconds before and 5.90 seconds after
this change. The changed cold-folder case took 561 ms after the change.
- The first local attempt could not start embedded PostgreSQL and ran no
tests. The existing external test database enabled the comparison.
- Original failed CI:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41296253723 . That
failure remains in the qualification record.
- Server typecheck and build passed. All latest-head PR checks passed,
including the full test, typecheck, build and browser gates. One
cancelled runner job was retried after its log showed an infrastructure
shutdown; the retry passed. This PR changes no production code or
database schema.

## Risks

- A failed content check now reports a boolean mismatch instead of a
large byte diff. Equality still covers buffer length and every byte.
- Local timing is evidence for the fixture, not a general CI performance
guarantee.
- Hosted active-agent and rollout acceptance remain incomplete as
recorded in the plan.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6. The exact runtime snapshot and
context-window size are not exposed. Used code editing, shell execution
and test analysis.

DottaandPaperclip 1d348bbef0 fix(server): restore durable agent folders with bounded concurrency (#18531)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A replacement web server restores agent files from shared storage.
> - The old restore reads each object in sequence.
> - Modest network latency makes a 1,024-file folder exceed its
deadline.
> - This pull request uses at most eight concurrent restore streams.
> - Every file must pass its size and hash checks before the folder is
published.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18518 and #18526. Local deployment qualification found that a 64
MiB folder could not be restored after the old server filesystem was
removed.

## What Changed

- Restore at most eight files concurrently within the existing file
authority service.
- Cancel sibling transfers on failure. Await all workers before removing
the temporary folder.
- Keep the existing deadline, file-transfer database pool, authorization
and publication rules.
- Add regression coverage for bounded concurrency, corruption, settled
cancellation, retained previous bytes and retry.
- Document the behavior and update the deployment plan with local
qualification evidence.

## Verification

- Real PostgreSQL and S3-compatible storage: 1,024 files of 64 KiB each,
plus instructions, with 25 ms added to each object GET. Delete the
entire predecessor home and disable local adoption before reading
through the successor.
- Before: the read failed after 30.065 seconds. After: the same case
passed in 4.180 seconds and fetched 1,025 objects. All owned test
resources were cleaned.
- The durable-file suite passed eight tests against PostgreSQL. Server
TypeScript compilation passed. All 56 latest-head CI checks are complete
and green or intentionally skipped, including full typecheck, build,
unit and browser suites. Greptile is 5/5 with no review findings or open
threads.
- The plan separately records a released-container overlap proof: 130
reads, 26 saves, zero failures, two deleted predecessor containers and a
retained authenticated session. That image predates this restore change.

## Risks

- A cold folder can use eight simultaneous streams instead of one. Two
file-transfer database connections bound the simultaneous restore
callers. Streams verify bytes without loading entire objects into
memory.
- The 30-second deadline is unchanged. The measured size and latency do
not qualify every folder at the maximum storage limits.
- No schema, API or UI changes. Paid-model and hosted deployment
acceptance remain separate work.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6. Tool use, code execution and repository review. The
runtime does not expose a more specific model ID or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 73cd8eb9a5 fix(server): deliver answers promptly during web handoff (#18530)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Its web servers can overlap while Railway replaces one deployment.
> - An answer can reach the replacement while the original server owns
the native execution.
> - A competing delivery claim can make the owner miss the first
notification.
> - The normal retry interval then delays the answer by 30 seconds.
> - This pull request gives pending answers a one-second retry in
ephemeral mode and verifies delivery between separate processes.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18518 and #18526. This closes a measured native-question delivery
delay during control-plane web deployment overlap.

## What Changed

- Register question delivery through its owning service. Use a
one-second retry for ephemeral servers and retain the configured cadence
for ordinary servers.
- Keep the existing durable claims, response identity, authorization and
continuation behavior.
- Add a two-process PostgreSQL regression for a claim held by the
non-owning server. Verify one command, settlement, idle behavior and
reactivation by another committed answer.
- Keep the assembled startup fixture on the real registration function.
Update the deployment plan with current evidence and remaining
acceptance work.

## Verification

- The same local two-process race took 30.157 seconds before the fix and
1.197 seconds after it. The command sink is simulated; PostgreSQL,
notification transport, interaction response, delivery claim and worker
are real.
- The cross-process regression and assembled startup suite passed 122
tests. No further sweeps or pending inspections occur after settlement.
A second answer wakes the owner through PostgreSQL without a test-owned
sweep.
- Server TypeScript compilation passed. All PR CI gates passed on
d1d426c0dc, including full tests, typecheck, build, browser shards and
serialized suites. Greptile reviewed that head at 5/5 with no findings.
- Live provider continuation, hosted staging deployments and production
acceptance are still separate work.

## Risks

- An unresolved answer causes more frequent reconciliation in ephemeral
mode. Settled history does not keep the worker active. Existing claim
fencing and bounded error attempts are unchanged.
- A 30-second abandoned claim still needs its existing stale-claim
recovery. This change addresses released claims, not proof of provider
liveness.
- The test simulates the provider command sink. It cannot establish that
a paid model consumed the answer or that a remote execution survived a
deploy.
- No schema, API or UI changes.

runtime does not expose a more specific model ID or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 16787e4167 Qualify rolling web deployments and preserve Stop through handoff (#18526)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The web server owns request handling and remote execution
coordination.
> - Deployment must start a ready replacement while the old server still
serves.
> - An outage test does not prove that two live servers can overlap
safely.
> - This pull request adds a separate Product E2E cell for that
boundary.
> - The existing run, file, recovery, and retained-session checks still
apply.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18518. The runtime prerequisite is merged; this PR qualifies its
ephemeral server and deployment contracts.

## What Changed

- Add the explicit `rolling-web-deployment` Codex Daytona workflow.
- Start independent A/B/C homes and compiled builds behind a test
ingress.
- Wait for readiness before routing, then drain and delete the old home.
- Observe active authority before handoff and use the existing read-only
recovery oracle.
- Require ordinary reads and saves to succeed throughout replacement.
Read back every accepted save exactly once.
- Preserve the five-minute outage suites and their existing validators.
- Add a model-free supervisor smoke and an unready replacement control.
- Require graceful exit before deleting an old home; forced cleanup
cannot satisfy the oracle.
- Preserve a durable Stop through lease release/expiry until the
recovered execution owner acknowledges it. Permit only fenced
reattachment of the original execution for Stop cleanup; submit no new
turn.
- Exclude events saved by A during shutdown from evidence of B making
progress.

## Verification

- E2E TypeScript check passed.
- Affected harness checks: 143 passed. Catalog, fixture and report
checks: 120 passed.
- Actual supervisor smoke passed two replacements: 436 reads, 45 saves,
zero request failures, and confirmed owned resource cleanup.
- B became ready in 18.7 seconds; C became ready in 109.2 seconds. A
prior C timeout remains failed evidence.
- Fresh browser proof: 11 checks passed, 246 reads, 50 acknowledged
saves, zero failures, 1,058ms reconnect, both old homes deleted and
cleanup confirmed.
- Stop lease-gap regression: three PostgreSQL delivery tests passed with
a simulated provider edge. Current server TypeScript build/vendoring
passed.
- Full harness: 5,814 passed, 17 failed, four skipped. Two shutdown
races passed the focused file; two report timeouts passed an isolated
42-test rerun. Onboarding/workflow-security/Pi/date-expired fixtures are
unchanged on inspected master; the host embedded PostgreSQL fixture
remains a setup limitation. This is not a green full local suite.
- CI at `172509b8be` passed all gates. Greptile is 5/5 with every review
thread resolved. The earlier access-service race failure passed its
isolated regression and the subsequent full CI.
- Final review corrections: six focused executor cases, three PostgreSQL
command-delivery cases, 19 harness cases and server/E2E typechecks
passed.
- Three live attempts failed before agent creation: two harness setup
gaps were fixed, then provider authentication failed. The saved OpenAI
key returns 401; a refresh is pending. The Daytona probe reported
cleanup uncertain, and no sandbox with that attempt label was found
through the authenticated staging manager. No live model execution is
claimed.
- Live Runner overlap, released-container qualification and hosted
deployment proof remain pending. Merging this opt-in qualification lane
does not claim those results.

## Risks

- The source lane shares workspace dependencies and does not establish
container packaging correctness.
- The live workflow needs an explicitly owned S3 bucket, PostgreSQL,
pinned remote image and provider credentials.
- Qualification cleanup stops all owned processes after failure. A
failed replacement must not be reported as a pass.

runtime does not expose a more specific model ID or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 006d5691a6 feat(server): support volume-free web server handoff (#18518)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Its web server also owns controller admission and user commands.
> - A rolling deployment starts a replacement before the old server
exits.
> - Shared database state alone does not preserve local agent files,
browser chunks, or in-process commands.
> - This pull request adds an opt-in ephemeral server contract and a
local overlap test.
> - The benefit is a web server that can relinquish traffic and local
files without losing acknowledged work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18403, #18327, #18335, #18341.

**Current behavior**

The control-plane web server still has local agent-file authority and
local command targets. A new container can miss saved bytes or send a
command to the wrong process. An existing browser tab also needs chunks
from its original build.

**Proposed behavior**

Eligible servers share only PostgreSQL, object storage and stable
secrets. A replacement waits for readiness. The old server drains
admitted requests, keeps owner commands available through handoff, and
releases controller leases. Explicit maintenance adopts existing files
before the volume is removed.

**Reason and benefit**

This is the application prerequisite for rolling app-only deployments.
Schema migrations and permanent multi-replica operation are outside this
change.

## What Changed

- Store agent-file manifests in PostgreSQL and immutable bytes in S3.
Treat local roots as disposable projections. Preserve existing
permission checks and edit conflicts.
- Add an explicit migration, eligibility and object-retention command to
the production runtime bundle.
- Add `/api/ready`, admitted-request drain, browser restart signaling
and retained immutable UI chunks.
- Carry transaction-aware work hints across controllers during handoff
and active execution. Keep listeners closed when idle.
- Deliver durable Stop and runtime responses to the execution owner.
Recheck request lifecycle and access before response dispatch.
- Reject local-only configuration in ephemeral mode. Keep the feature
disabled for existing installations by default.
- Add an isolated PostgreSQL/S3/proxy/browser deployment harness with
independent server homes and retained failure evidence.

## Verification

- All CI checks pass on `ce17b95019d3cf1cabd357d19b6d37f96782cc5c`:
workspace typecheck, build, Runner checks, server/general tests and
browser shards. Greptile reviewed the runtime changes at 5/5 with all
findings resolved; the final commit updates maps and the plan.
- Local targeted checks passed: coordinator 27; Stop/recovery 33;
PostgreSQL command delivery 6; route/workspace regressions 8; bootstrap
Stop 1; restart recovery 75. PostgreSQL command tests simulate the
provider edge.
- Local browser proof passed 91 reads and 19 saves; reconnect took
1,013ms. The tab opened Audit from S3 after deletion of A's whole
home/build. This uses compiled workspace code and local-trusted auth,
not released containers or live agents.
- Local workspace typecheck/build passed; current server and runtime
bundle passed. The earlier broad local suite was stopped after three
hours and is not a passing receipt. Its retained failures and isolated
reruns are documented in the plan.
- Stacked #18526 adds stricter graceful-exit proof, an unready
replacement control, live Runner qualification and a Stop handoff
correction. Hosted enablement remains gated on those results and Cloud
#1096. No hosted stack has been enabled.

## Risks

- Apply migration 0422 before enabling the feature. Existing data must
pass each owner's migration and eligibility checks. Do not discard a
volume based on a single migration page.
- Durable manifests remain authoritative after the opt-in is disabled.
Rolling back to a binary that ignores them is unsupported.
- Cold directory restoration and complete shutdown timing still need
qualification before enabling a hosted stack.
- Retained UI assets must cover the supported browser and rollback
window. Cleanup is explicit; no new idle maintenance polling is
introduced.
- This change does not claim production zero downtime or authorize a
fleet-wide enablement.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The exact serving model ID and
context-window limit are not exposed in this session. Used reasoning,
code editing, shell execution and browser automation.

DottaandPaperclip 492d537340 fix(native): recover controllers across webserver replacement (#18343)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Native execution runs in a remote Runner while the webserver owns
its controller.
> - Encrypted PRP checkpoints and session snapshots already survive a
webserver restart in Postgres.
> - Ordinary warm and per-turn admission still needs local markers and
supervisor metadata to find that state.
> - Replacing the webserver with an empty native controller directory
can therefore lose a usable retained session.
> - This change adds bounded recovery metadata to the existing snapshot
transaction and reconstructs local projections from the selected durable
source.
> - The benefit is native execution continuity across webserver
replacement, with the existing ownership and agent lifecycle policies.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Native remote controller recovery and retained-session continuation
during a webserver upgrade.

**Subsystem affected**

server/ — native runtime, checkpoint persistence, recovery scheduling
and internal upgrade reporting. Product E2E qualification also changes.

**Current behavior**

Without both the local PRP marker and supervisor file, normal
continuation can return before discovering the saved Postgres
checkpoint. The snapshot already exists in Postgres, but its local reuse
compatibility envelope cannot be reconstructed.

**Proposed behavior**

Select the existing durable source, validate its identity and ownership,
restore its PRP state and supervisor projection, then use normal
authenticated admission. Missing or inconsistent evidence holds
recovery. It does not authorize fresh provider work.

**Reason and benefit**

A replacement webserver must recover active execution and later continue
its retained session without the old server's native files. This is one
component of deployment continuity. HTTP traffic switching, workspace
storage migration and Railway rollout remain separate.

**Breaking changes**

No new public endpoint, schema migration or database pool. The private
run-profile envelope is additive. Disk-independent rollback also
requires a reader for the staged controller format and compact
checkpoint part; the first production release containing these readers
is the floor. Older file-backed sessions need an owner checkpoint or the
bounded internal importer.

**Additional context**

Related foundations: #17401, #17916, #17254, #14621, #14622. The
implementation contract and open acceptance gates are in [the dated
plan](doc/plans/2026-10-30-native-controller-checkpoints.md).

## What Changed

- Persist a versioned recovery envelope, at most 4 KiB, beside the
redacted session snapshot in its existing transaction. Keep it out of
public run projections.
- Compare frozen admission separately from prepared attachment
instructions during staged recovery, preserving exact
template/identity/authority checks.
- Bound the existing lazy checkpoint pool at three connections after
measured two-slot burst backlog; keep request/renewal capacities and SQL
operation counts unchanged. The tuning is a separate commit.
- Discover and restore the exact selected retained source without local
native markers. Preserve the 32-candidate window, progress barriers and
current authority checks.
- Fence snapshot and result writes. Acquire coordinator, issue and run
locks in order and check expiry after lock waits. Combine snapshot
ownership/read work into one statement.
- Reuse existing recovery deadlines and drain/resume scheduling.
Retained-owner waits preserve the original unstarted run and actual
lease deadline. Stop, ownership and provider-progress fences precede
deferral. Add bounded native evidence reporting, retained-source import
and retention protection.
- Admit a settled warm source with an authenticated idle goal-read
suffix while retaining active-work and mixed-authority holds.
- Permit lifecycle `turn.stop` checkpoints after accepted results under
existing ownership fences. Claim the existing successor coordinator
before retiring the old warm session, and stage shared attachments only
after verified retirement. Preserve omitted isolated-home defaults and
existing fresh skill-selection order during recovery without hiding real
configuration changes.
- Carry the exact durable six-field PRP binding during active recovery
after a healthy warm handoff. Keep the Runner mismatch guard and
preserve opaque attachment IDs.
- Preserve an already verified active or idle warm process during remote
preparation; revalidate its proof/liveness and retain later
authenticated PRP attachment. Ordinary resumed leases retain suspension
checks.
- Drain retained source events under their original authority, reconcile
immutable source accounting and block unknown source tool dispatch
before target work.
- Persist compact staged handoff intent through authenticated adoption
and recover direct/listener command-loss windows without another Runner
or duplicate attachment.
- Rebuild suspended lifecycle receipts for resumed prepared tasks, and
retry missing lifecycle reads after partial PRP materialization without
overwriting contradictory evidence.
- Add normal warm/per-turn diskless continuation coverage, real Postgres
races and SQL-cost checks. Add a reproducible paired load workload.
- Give only the explicit outage fixture a 15-minute provider idle
window, with a red/green catalog regression preserving all production
timing and lifecycle policies.
- Publish the goal-less task-session pointer in the existing
post-acceptance terminal checkpoint transaction, with current ownership,
accepted-result, reset and newer-progress fences. Keep a private bound
receipt so late completion cannot duplicate or resurrect publication.
- Use a retained warm sandbox in the dedicated continuity fixture, and
accept an exact output token followed by an explanation. Keep the strict
identity oracle.
- Extend the explicit Daytona cell to a five-minute active outage and
another replacement after completion. Require retained provider
identity, a new tool receipt and a useful follow-up result. Add an owned
loopback Postgres E2E fixture for hosts that cannot start embedded
Postgres.

## Verification

**Merge recommendation — `fc68584ce6231a02e47ecd743f55b036ccea034f`:
ready for the qualified native-controller component.** Full CI, fresh
review, local application paths, controlled performance qualification
and the strict live Linux/Daytona case pass. Independent resource
cleanup is complete. Broader rollout, browser reconnection and the
unexecuted transport/platform combinations remain integration gates.
Integrated 484 passed full local recursive typecheck/build and ordinary
active→completion→cache-loss→C component qualification. Fresh review
then found a valid attached-wake failure: preparation appends attachment
instructions before the verifier compares execution to the frozen
admission. 9f4 fixes that by separately checking the pre-preparation
admission and exact prepared execution. Both hashes are captured
privately per admission; the full template, identity, configuration and
authority checks remain. Its regression fails before the fix; 36 focused
cases, 42 staged source/target cases and server typecheck pass
afterward. The review thread is resolved. Exact-head full CI passes
([run
41168228822](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41168228822):
48 successful jobs, one intended skip); the complete `pnpm test:run`
partitions are forced, with the five native suites in the Runner lane.
This is not a claim that an unsharded local command passed. The fresh
exact-head Greptile check succeeds with 5/5 and all six threads
resolved.

The original two-connection database comparison closes **steady PASS and
burst FAIL**. Every relative CPU/WAL/request-p99 gate passes and all
operations/ownership remain correct, but candidate arm 3 drains in
1,015.99 ms and baseline arm 4 in 1,059.67 ms against the unchanged
1,000 ms absolute gate. Those results remain failed. A separate 2→3→4→2
diagnostic reproduces drain times 1,051.57 / 956.79 / 882.02 / 1,065.72
ms: three is the smallest tested passing cap, and the repeated two-cap
failure survives run-order/cache effects.

Separately reviewable `fc68584ce6` changes the existing lazy checkpoint
pool default to three connections. Request capacity stays ten and
liveness two; idle release, shutdown fencing, transaction counts and
pool count are unchanged. Thirteen DB lifecycle/cap tests and DB
typecheck pass. Full recursive typecheck/build pass at exact fc68584,
with the matching server build stamp. The final paired native
feature-cost comparison explicitly uses the **same cap-three policy and
common current DB factory in both variants**; its baseline is
controlled, not the unmodified historical cap-two configuration.
Original gates and workload counts remain unchanged. The one strict
Linux/Daytona case started at 04:40:56 UTC only after both new profiles
passed; it passed on the first attempt with all 49 workflow checks.
Independent cleanup confirms all three owned sandboxes absent, owned
Postgres/controllers/observer gone, VM terminated, root volume absent
and ephemeral SSH key/agent removed.

**Final controlled cap-three qualification: PASS.** Baseline native
implementation `59da15066a` and candidate `fc68584ce6` use the same
current DB factory and checkpoint policy (request/liveness/checkpoint =
10/2/3). Eight 65-second ABBA arms cover 300 controllers and 10,000
historical tasks. All correctness, absolute and 10% relative gates pass;
original cap-two failures remain unchanged.

| Mode | DB CPU µs/op, baseline → candidate | WAL B/op, baseline →
candidate | DB-request p99 ms, baseline → candidate | Maximum drain |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Steady | 542.40 → 554.83 (+2.29%) | 1509.01 → 1558.27 (+3.26%) |
107.11 → 111.90 (+4.48%) | 26.35 ms |
| Burst | 1036.36 → 1063.11 (+2.58%) | 4153.12 → 4317.64 (+3.96%) |
103.736 → 103.841 (+0.10%) | 930.14 ms |

Every matched arm preserves operation/statement/transaction counts,
including 3,900 PRP and 3,900 snapshot transactions. All three actual
pools are included; there are zero lost owners, missed lease deadlines,
dropped operations or errors. Peak Postgres CPU is 18.31%/9.47% of two
cores and memory 614.29/684.42 MiB (steady/burst). The benchmark uses
one Node process simulating 300 controllers; it does not qualify
two-webserver overlap, HTTP latency or hosted capacity. Its observer SQL
contributes to measured database CPU. The original unmodified cap-two
baseline is separately retained as failed; this cap-three comparison is
explicitly controlled.

The exact final-source 8/512/8,192-chunk test also passes: zero recovery
SQL, transactions or changed rows in each text-only interval, zero idle
SQL, seven lifecycle transactions and twelve changed rows per sample.
Existing lease traffic remains separate. The final ordinary managed
application replay passes active recovery, completion, native-cache
removal and C continuation; its UNKNOWN local debug-daemon provenance
and partial instruction-observer limits remain recorded. The live case
uses the attested Linux producer instead.


**Live qualification: PASS, one attempt, no retries.** Campaign
`native-controller-retained-fix-fc68584ce6-ec2-20261031T044055Z` started
04:40:56 UTC on the exact final Linux webserver source; suite definition
hash `12f9bb97823c1537e43f0398e7cddf39890f77bce7b413ca4dfd944f4a30e5d5`.
The existing immutable image and attested Bookworm Runner artifact are
unchanged.

- A was SIGKILLed and its native cache discarded. B started after
300,149 ms, naturally acquired generation 2, authenticated at 316,624 ms
and resumed at 317,682 ms within the original 420,000 ms grace. The same
active run, Runner, provider PID/start fingerprint and one
submitted/started/accepted turn were preserved; one final
result/terminal and workspace finalization completed, with no
retry/recovery action.
- After active and queued completion, B was SIGKILLed and its native
cache discarded again. C received exactly one ordinary task-comment API
follow-up, completed a new tool and produced a useful reply while
preserving native/provider/Runner identities. This closes the earlier
failed post-C gate. A separate C OS-process PID field was not exported;
the physical-PID proof is specifically A→B.
- Four distinct results were accepted and published; all four
finalizations committed at attempt 1, all four accounting-v2 projections
settled, and the task-session pointer advanced to C. The coordinator
independently checked these facts and all 49 canonical checks against
the sanitized receipts.
- Canonical cleanup passed and independent checks confirmed three exact
sandbox 404s plus complete inventory/zero owned remnants, no owned PG or
controller/observer processes, EC2 terminated, root volume absent, and
the ephemeral SSH key/agent removed by 04:54:25 UTC.

Live scope is classic remote Codex warm continuity with non-native
storage dependencies available. Prepared-task completed B→C, full
per-turn application disk loss, browser reconnection, two-server load
and overall Railway/HTTP continuity were not live-qualified here.
Earlier failed campaigns and the original cap-two burst failure remain
failed historical evidence. A report-renderer cache setup failure was
preserved; the normal sanitizer subsequently succeeded with an explicit
cache path and a new output directory, without changing validators.


The repair keeps retained events under their original six-field
authority until persistence and accounting accept them. Unknown semantic
effects stay unresolved. A compact staged target survives source
bootstrap, cached-command delivery and authenticated handoff, including
an uncertain commit response. Direct and same-guest-listener recovery
require the verified original Runner and the exact endpoint. Target
snapshot publication marks readiness in memory, with retirement
coalesced into an existing command write. Headers contain only the
staged descriptor/digest; a prequeue template is written once as a
changed checkpoint part and then recovered from the existing
command/receipt. No second session snapshot transaction, streaming SQL
path, new pool or recurring idle scan is added.

| Current repair gate | Evidence and scope |
| --- | --- |
| Source-tail regression | Real Runner protocol RED reproduced
attachment rejection. Frozen core/transport pass five source-tail cases:
source usage attribution, held persistence/no premature ACK, lost commit
response plus cache loss, unknown semantic hold and accounting rejection
hold. |
| Handoff loss windows | Direct and listener modes pass
queued/prepared/activated/completed boundaries (eight cells), preserving
the actual Runner/provider process. Missing adoption proof and changed
endpoints reject recovery. |
| Compact storage | A 31 KiB attachment grant writes its separate part
once, leaves it unchanged across source snapshots and removes it at
queueing. Headers do not duplicate the grant. |
| Accounting | 21 real-Postgres usage tests and 19 source-binding tests
pass. Recovery hydrates immutable source receipts without resetting
their producer or billing classification; conflicting/incomplete usage
holds. |
| Admission and malformed evidence | Driver 16, staged evidence 42,
restart classifier 27 and source usage 19 focused cases pass. Four
malformed-file regressions pass at d6a7, whose executor is
byte-identical at 484, and server typecheck passes. Full executor file:
990 pass; 16 embedded-Postgres `initdb` setup failures before
assertions, retained separately. |
| Required checks | Exact fc68584 recursive typecheck and build pass
locally, with matching server stamp. Forced full CI succeeds (48 jobs
pass, one intended skip); all PR checks are clean. Maps/token gates pass
for their unchanged source surfaces. Fresh exact-head Greptile is 5/5,
all six threads resolved. |
| Ordinary application path | Exact fc68584 managed component passes
active recovery after natural expiry, completion, native-cache loss and
ordinary C continuation. Production bytes match before/after; temporary
fixtures restored and owned DB/services cleaned. UNKNOWN local
debug-daemon/partial instruction-observer limits remain; the separate
live case uses the attested Linux producer. |
| Producer | Locked Bookworm build from exact 5b7 Rust tree
d03e494217, equal to final fc68584 Rust
source. SHA-256
65b8f8cfdd6099e9ad24f1ca154e8a260777269cc82f6e23c6e6a180c531eaaf;
38,515,328 bytes. Actual Debian 12 execution and live admission pass.
Controller/admission/DB changes do not relabel the producer source. |
| Historical cap-two comparison | Exact 59da baseline vs 5b7 candidate,
300 controllers/10,000 history, ABBA 4×65 s per mode, all three actual
pools and real snapshots. Steady CPU/op 541.36→554.64 µs (+2.45%);
WAL/op 1512.13→1560.99 B (+3.23%); DB-request p99 102.78→105.99 ms
(+3.12%): PASS. Burst CPU/op +4.71%, WAL/op +5.29%, p99 −0.10% pass
relative gates, but absolute drains above fail. Identical operation/SQL
counts, zero lost leases/drops/errors. One Node process simulates 300
controllers; this does not qualify two-webserver overlap or HTTP
capacity. |
| Live acceptance | Strict final-source Linux classic Codex case passes
1/1 on attempt 1, all 49 checks. Active recovery within grace and useful
retained C continuation succeed; four
accepted/published/committed/settled outcomes. Independent provider,
PG/process, VM/root and SSH cleanup complete. Prepared/task and broader
rollout limits are explicit above. |

**Historical qualification snapshot through `9eb9ac6`.** The head at
this snapshot was `9eb9ac6f9e312f3ebe8040f5a7565e88ae8824f3`. Server and
Runner package sources are byte-identical to `283e05ffaa`; the two later
commits change the explicitly scoped qualification and its documentation
only. It includes master through the storage-owner fix
`45a3a92e6dc52d20923b9aa34a22fee2ec5443f9` (#18357). At that snapshot,
CI/review passed but the strict post-C native recovery gate failed; the
PR stayed draft and required another native repair. Prior `39a4343` CI
and review passed, but its full live workflow failed; that grade remains
unchanged. The first repaired `435ccd2` live attempt failed before any
injected outage. It exposed a legitimate terminal snapshot before result
acceptance; no accepted result ID or publication receipt was observed.
Its canonical report remains 0/1 `candidate_failure`, with cleanup
passed and independent provider absence confirmed. `0862062` defers
publication until result acceptance and fixes the fresh review's
coordinator/issue lock-order finding. Both failures have deterministic
real-Postgres regressions. The `0862062` live attempt then proved
accepted-result publication but failed active recovery: a resumed-lease
preparation guard demanded suspension after the exact live Runner was
already verified for adoption. `64c0b746` preserves that verified
active/idle-warm process, revalidates its proof/liveness, and keeps
ordinary suspension checks and later PRP authentication. Its live run
passed preparation but exposed a second active-warm boundary: all
durable binding fields matched except opaque turn/item attachment IDs,
which the server had regenerated. `7a203274` carries the complete
verified six-field binding and keeps the strict Runner mismatch guard.
Its cloud case then passed active adoption, completion, publication and
accounting. The queued continuation exposed accepted-result retirement
writes and an implicit-home fingerprint drift; both are fixed with
deterministic regressions in `39a4343` before this fresh full
qualification.

The prior live case exposed a real publication gap. A goal-less native
turn could persist its accepted result and terminal snapshot before
provider cleanup, while the task-session pointer was still empty. Normal
later admission then selected a fresh session. The fix publishes that
pointer and a private bound receipt in the **existing post-acceptance
terminal checkpoint transaction**, before cleanup. Earlier terminal
observations persist without a handled receipt or continuation pointer.
No result-acceptance or snapshot transaction was added. The late
completion path recognizes the receipt. This also prevents a late
callback from restoring a pointer after a user reset. Goal/control
publication keeps its existing owner.

The dedicated Daytona fixture now uses the existing warm/reusable
environment. Its sandbox, Runner and provider storage must survive. The
former generic per-turn fixture disposed the sandbox after completion
and kept provider-history backup bytes under the discarded directory.
Whole per-turn disk-loss acceptance therefore has a separate
provider-backup storage dependency. It remains distinct from the passing
native per-turn component checks with backup storage available. The
60-second lease, 300-second outage and 420-second grace are unchanged.

| Gate | Current repair evidence |
| --- | --- |
| Assembled regression | Baseline fails with an accepted result and
terminal snapshot but a NULL task pointer while real provider cleanup is
held. The fix passes normal continuation and reset cases, with no
pointer seeding. Exact merged `92b7447` passed 2/2 twice, including
after normal package TypeScript output refresh. Production files are
byte-identical at frozen `435ccd2`. |
| Persistence and concurrency | 19 helper/transaction cases and all 59
existing control-port cases pass on `0862062`. They cover bound result
IDs, reset/newer epochs, Stop, lock waits and expiry, receipt replay,
missing stubs, foreign bindings and atomic 4 KiB rollback. Existing
snapshot transaction count stays one. The new tests reproduce the exact
live missing-result-ID error and the inverse replay/status lock order
against `435ccd2`, then pass after the correction. Replayed results
still reject stale generations. |
| Completion | All 32 completion-boundary tests pass on merged
`92b7447`; the source is unchanged at `435ccd2`. Native result-shaped
session metadata is preserved. |
| Qualification fixture | A valid review report reproduced three
rejected correct replies. Exact token-boundary matching fixes them. 140
focused E2E/catalog cases and Product E2E typecheck pass. Wrong tokens,
marker prefixes/suffixes and wrong authors remain rejected;
retained-identity checks are unchanged. |
| Required checks | Full recursive typecheck and standard build passed
at `435ccd2`. Both exact commands also passed on `0862062`, with its
exact server build stamp; both also pass on `7a203274`, with its exact
server build stamp. Fresh `0862062` Greptile passed 5/5, with zero
unresolved threads. The `64c0b746` normal CI then passed all 49 jobs (48
success, one expected skip) and Greptile passed 5/5 with zero unresolved
findings. The `7a203274` normal CI also passed 48 jobs with one expected
skip, with fresh Greptile 5/5 and zero unresolved findings. Current
`39a4343` recursive typecheck and standard build both pass with
persisted exit codes and its exact build stamp; fresh Greptile is 5/5
with zero unresolved findings. Its normal CI completed successfully: 48
jobs passed and one expected job skipped. The fresh live result remains
separately failed. The `0862062` normal CI had 46 passing jobs, one
expected skip, one worker communication failure and its aggregate
failure; GitHub states the self-hosted runner lost communication. No
failed assertion or specific OOM/spot cause was established, and no
blind retry was used. |
| PostgreSQL supplement | One corrected all-pool pair at the preceding
repair passed 300-controller/10,000-history correctness and absolute
gates. SQL 76,590→75,990; transactions 9,013→8,713; UPDATE rows 11,613
each; 300 correct pointer writes each. PG CPU 31.99→30.46 s, WAL
70.36→67.87 MB, request p99 100.98→103.12 ms. This is one pair, not a
repeated improvement claim or an exact `0862062` CPU measurement. Its
two later changes defer premature publication and reorder existing
locks; they add no transaction, stream/idle writer, pool or timer. The
first collapsed-pool attempt remains invalid and retained. This is not
an exact final-head CPU/WAL measurement; later fixes change ordering,
identity selection and in-memory skill replacement without adding
snapshot transactions, pools, stream writes or idle SQL. |
| Live publication proof (`0862062`) | Baseline run
`06fcc806-f186-4190-9b57-087b61d75533` accepted result
`58f912dc-94d9-4b4d-bd3d-d5f689c83fd3`; the publication receipt names
the same result, the task pointer has parameters and `lastRunId`
matches, and the normalized native identity matches the following active
run. Accounting v2 settled. |
| Active recovery (`0862062`) | **FAIL.** SIGKILL/cache discard at
23:07:28.666 UTC; hold 300,000.859 ms; B ready at 308,896.486 ms;
natural generation-2 ownership at 312,906 ms. At about 319 s,
preparation failed `runner_harness_state_mismatch:
resumed_not_suspended`. No authenticated after-receipt passed within 420
s. Exact original Runner PID 668/start/fingerprint was independently
still alive; provider auto-stop was 15 minutes. No retained C follow-up
qualified. Canonical 0/1 `cleanup_failure`/cleanup-failed report remains
failed; subsequent independent cleanup deleted all three owned resources
with exact 404s and confirmed full intended-account inventory with zero
owned resources. |
| Verified adoption preparation (`64c0b746`) | 91 focused cases pass,
including actual preparation for four active providers and a distinct
prior/current warm proof. Unproved resumed state, dead process and stale
warm owner remain rejected. The earlier options-only fixture missed this
gate. No spawn, backup restore or PRP-authentication bypass was added.
Server typecheck passes. |
| Active warm identity (`64c0b746`) | **FAIL.** B claimed generation 2
at 312,995 ms. Preparation passed, then strict PRP recovery rejected the
generated attachment IDs at about 319 s. The saved and desired Runner,
lease, normalized session and run IDs matched; only
`turn_attachment_…`/`item_attachment_…` differed from generated
`turn-<run>`/`item-<run>`. Canonical 0/1 cleanup-failed report remains
failed; independent cleanup confirmed deletion/404s and zero owned
provider resources. |
| Six-field identity repair (`7a203274`) | Actual server-factory
regression RED4→GREEN38. A real Rust Runner test passes healthy first
run → random-ID warm handoff → held active second run → restored
controller. It verifies a new live authenticated connection, exact
identity, same Runner/provider OS identities, no duplicate launch/turn,
and no redispatch or invented receipt for an uncertain tool. The
synthetic wrong pair still fails the unchanged guard. This protocol case
does not claim business completion. Server and Runner typechecks pass. |
| Active recovery/completion (`7a203274`) | **PASS for the active
component.** Full five-minute SIGKILL/cache-loss hold. B ready at
308,936.651 ms; natural generation 2 observed 312,979 ms; authenticated
at 317,720 ms and resumed processing at 318,527 ms. Same run
`1e1ccb00-0728-4935-97da-57562d81cb42`, Runner
`246f73f7-a689-4177-a9c2-7ce711d63aed`, remote PID 669/start
23:48:27.470, provider lease/session and one submitted turn. Accepted
result `49097529-5310-4ac3-af95-5bf9b91d19f4`, publication, finalization
and accounting v2 all settled. |
| Full workflow (`7a203274`) | **FAIL, preserved.** Queued
late-requirement run `5e61f38d-c7d1-4fc1-bcbf-bce9d46ce4eb` failed
`runner did not durably suspend before checkpoint` before outage 2.
Canonical 0/1 candidate failure, cleanup passed, evidence valid. C
retention was not exercised. Independent provider absence,
controllers/PG cleanup, EC2 termination and root-volume absence all
confirmed; closed receipt SHA-256
`676a3b15eb9937b6bf995c36fb8666c88964d509e5ceb9109fb02da0aa2bc909`. |
| Retirement and stable configuration (`39a4343`) | Real Runner +
Postgres RED reproduced the exact suspension failure and nine owner
rejections. `turn.stop` is now lifecycle checkpoint maintenance under
unchanged owner/result/generation fences. GREEN25/25 proves actual
persisted suspension, exact identity and completed stop/drain/suspend;
unaccepted, foreign, stale and new-work negatives remain rejected. Two
default-home fingerprint REDs become GREEN9/9; explicit mode changes
still invalidate. No global matching exemption or historical fingerprint
rewrite. |
| Fresh full Daytona warm cell (`39a4343`) | **FAIL, preserved.**
Launched 00:15:29 UTC with automatic retries disabled. Active adoption
passed: actual offline hold 300,000.848 ms; B ready 309,922.155 ms;
natural generation 2 at 311,821 ms; authenticated 317,989 ms; resumed
330,440 ms. Same run `3e126819-e786-4b3b-b923-c975cf4f5b79`, Runner
`4079138a-8d7c-44a4-8558-07a5411d1f55`, PID 668/start and
provider/session identities. Accepted result
`08e504af-4dec-48a8-bf05-bf0a32280559` and publication passed. Queued
run `31d168c9-7ab9-4700-abb6-fafb90912237` failed the same strict
suspension error before outage 2. Its row selected a new native
identity, but no new third provider process or invocation was observed.
Recovery-time configuration still reset only `adapterConfig`; native
provider, context and workspace subtrees were unchanged. Canonical 0/1
candidate failure, evidence valid, normal cleanup passed; all campaign
provider/PG/process resources independently absent. Closed campaign
receipt SHA-256
`5e7d6281c13c812f3a946667f97f3c7d339b5ad86a3a819bd185b2fa73bc4a19`;
EC2/SSH remain temporarily held for the concrete follow-up repair.
Original 60/300/420-second limits and strict queued/second-replacement
checks remain unchanged. Direct-process path; no new live prepared-task
claim. |
| Native retirement authority (`283e05ffaa`) | Exact `39a4343` facade
regression RED3→GREEN9. The successor now uses its existing production
coordinator claim and prompt renewal before strict retirement. A real
Runner/Postgres case starts in the actual native-observed/unclaimed
phase, claims through production code, then closes and durably suspends
the predecessor in 1.657 s. All 25 real-Postgres cases pass;
unclaimed/foreign writers remain rejected. Shared attachment staging
stays after retirement; Stop and denied claims neither close nor stage.
No new claim or SQL path was added. |
| Configuration continuity (`283e05ffaa`) | Real shared/project-primary
environment selection → configuration with four skill versions
reproduces `reset: true`, changed category exactly `adapterConfig`,
after a Postgres JSONB read. Pinned restoration had reordered the
generated preference while actual runtime skills stayed identical.
Replacing existing pinned rows in place preserves the original fresh
name/key order and fingerprint. The assembled regression passes, as do
three existing pinned-version/rename/alias cases and server typecheck.
Genuine model/skill-selection changes still invalidate. No
fingerprint-format change or broad compatibility exemption. |
| Final production repair (`283e05ffaa`) | Full recursive
typecheck/build and [normal
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41151145106)
PASS: 48 jobs plus one expected skip. Fresh review 5/5, zero unresolved
threads. Live baseline, recovered run and queued continuation all
succeeded, each accepted/published/committed once with accounting v2
settled. Their native/provider identities and configuration fingerprint
match; both recovery and continuation report no reset, no changed
categories and task-session reuse. Active outage/authentication remains
within original timing. |
| Browser-dependent continuation (`283e05ffaa`, definition 6) | **Whole
cell FAIL, preserved.** After B was killed at 00:46:38.928 and its cache
discarded, C became ready in 9,151.410 ms. `openParent()` then hit a
30-second `page.goto`/DOMContentLoaded timeout before posting the final
request. No fourth native run or C continuation was exercised. Cause of
navigation timeout is unknown. C task had no execution lock, queued
comments, handoff or recovery blocker; all three prior runs were
committed/accounted. Normal cleanup passed; independent provider
absence, controller/PG cleanup, EC2 termination and exact root-volume
absence confirmed. Sanitized report bundle SHA-256
`2a3b841d62efb2ae30ef14f96a431ac4fa7fe3a782f1144831512f78edc65022`. |
| Native API continuation qualification (`9eb9ac6f9e`, definition 7) |
**FAIL, preserved.** The real post-C API request dispatched run
`c71fbb18-f979-4fe4-93ce-9c4be46dbf21`, which failed
`native_session_interrupted` / `native_session_recovery_failed` at
01:10:00.640 UTC. It selected the same normalized native identity,
Runner and checkpoint-provider identity as the three succeeded turns. No
C result was accepted; pending accounting remains explicit. Active
recovery passed: actual offline hold 300,001.098 ms, B ready 308,335.019
ms, natural generation 2 observed 311,818 ms, authenticated 315,540 ms,
resumed 316,612 ms. Queued continuation succeeded/accepted/published. B
was then killed/cache discarded at 01:09:34.500 and C ready in 8,783.803
ms. Original classifier `transient_infrastructure`, whole-case failure
and cleanup passed are unchanged; that classifier does not establish the
root cause. All owned provider/PG/process resources, EC2, root volume
and SSH agent independently absent. Closed receipt SHA-256

Exact backend detail is unavailable in approved structured evidence. |
| Current required checks (`9eb9ac6f9e`) | Recursive typecheck, standard
build and exact build stamp PASS. [Normal
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41152908417)
PASS: 48 jobs plus one expected skip. Fresh Greptile 5/5, latest edited
summary checked, zero unresolved threads. Exact8/512/8,192 stream probes
again report zero recovery SQL/transactions/rows and settled-idle SQL;
seven control transactions/twelve changed rows each, with 36 separate
legitimate renewals in the longest case. CI success does not supersede
the failed live C gate. |

The completion supplement observed secondary request/liveness/checkpoint
transaction p99 increases of 23.0%/45.7%/15.6% in its single pair.
Renewal p99 stayed below 0.865 s, with 900 successful renewals per arm
and no lost leases. The named pool caps stayed 10+2+2. An aggregate
activity sample peaked at 15 non-observer entries without backend-type
classification, so no claim is made that all were client connections. No
sampled lock episodes does not establish zero lock waits.

Twelve pure reader/selector cases also pass with the new adjacent
receipt. This is not another executed process rollback. Development
reader `5cf7aead` can parse the recovery state, but its old run-detail
redactor can expose receipt IDs/outcome to an authorized run reader. The
first production release containing recovery readers, complete
attachment-identity handling and both private-field redactions is the
rollback floor. The implicit-home fix prevents new recovery-time
fingerprint drift; it does not rewrite previously stored fingerprints
from failed candidates. The development probe is not a published
supported rollback target.

Latest actual `0862062` Runner tests independently passed 8/512/8,192
text chunks with zero recovery SQL, transactions and changed rows, plus
zero settled-idle SQL. All three observed seven setup/control
transactions and twelve changed rows. The 8,192-chunk case separately
recorded 31 legitimate lease-renewal statements, with no lost lease.
These are component SQL observations, not a production CPU/WAL claim.
The new adoption and identity branches affect recovery preparation only.
The `64c0b746`, `7a203274` and exact `39a4343` CI independently passed
all three stream sizes with the same zero-SQL/idle result; each latest
8,192-chunk case recorded 36 separate renewal statements. Exact
`39a4343` Runner 2/2 passed 133 files / 2,317 tests plus two skips; its
separate native group passed 150 tests plus eight skips.

The first API fixture revision omitted the mandatory final screenshot;
this was caught before paid launch and allocated no provider/model work.
The correction captures the actual retained Chromium page with an
explicit unqualified-browser label, without changing the standard report
validator.

Automatic approval review rejected exporting raw private API/workflow
snapshots because of sensitive payloads and insufficient
destination-specific authorization. Sanitized reports and
bound/hash-only receipts are retained; raw snapshots were not copied
through another channel. This does not change the failed grade.

Repair characterization also preserves its failed attempts. An
unconditional staging relocation broke three existing same-scope
scripted cases; the final implementation defers staging only for an
actual superseded warm scope, and all nine order/race cases pass. One
baseline transform overlapped an edit and is explicitly invalid; the
actual immutable `39a4343` loader then produced the three genuine REDs.
The independent task-directory hypothesis produced a RED but was
excluded by the live shared-workspace evidence; no directory policy
change was landed. A shared-workspace fixture authorization omission was
corrected separately from the four-skill semantic RED.

Setup failures are retained separately from semantic outcomes. These
include an old host port after the owned Postgres fixture restarted and
a sandbox-denied TSX IPC pipe. The supported external-Postgres run
passed, and the final exact recursive typecheck passes with normal
process permissions. Seven stale declaration errors after the master
merge cleared after compiling the actual merged SDK/Runner TypeScript
sources. No declarations were edited by hand.

<details>
<summary>Earlier qualification measurements and failed attempts
(historical, before this repair)</summary>

**Historical blocked gate (before the repair below).** Final native
implementation is `abed921e12d543b62f57a56435419c0dafb0bc33`; current
branch head is `af9e2d157dcc349e55374ad186c9be2d6cb96bf9`. The two later
commits change only qualification fixtures, their matcher and
documentation; `server/` and `packages/` are unchanged. It includes
master through `fd008979f5794fda3d5f54151d36acd31d0de140`.

The live Daytona measurement proves five-minute active recovery,
once-only completion and accounting, but **fails retained-session
identity after the second replacement**. The saved checkpoint and
recovery metadata exist. The task-session pointer remains empty, and
ordinary admission creates new native/provider sessions. The exact
skipped publication boundary remains unproven. A useful saved-file
result alone does not satisfy retained-session continuation. This
application-path gap blocks merge independently of CI.

A separate new-master CI failure is owned by the storage workstream (fix
in #18357). No storage guard, session-identity oracle, lease/grace limit
or provider result was relaxed.

| Gate | Observed result and exact scope |
| --- | --- |
| Distinct source recovery and compatible rollback | PASS at A
`5cf7aead09a2d9c7e2f2929d761f535ef3c1d798` → B
`5ea45f8d17e33c9a62bd79982dcf0375b07733d0` → fresh B → A. Four
controller processes, natural 60-second lease expiry, absent native
projections before replacements, three succeeded/committed unique
results, one provider thread, unchanged Runner identity, and strict idle
cleanup. 177.782 seconds. |
| Immutable installed native component | PASS at installed A
`5cf7aead09a2d9c7e2f2929d761f535ef3c1d798` → installed B
`eaef0d56552c087aaa4fa68a8655282ffbd12667` → fresh B → A. Each
controller imports its contained compiled server and DB. Three unique
committed results, stable Runner/thread, no extra provider restart on
same-contract rollback, strict cleanup. 106.672 seconds. This is
compiled component proof, separate from full CLI-native application
acceptance. |
| Normal public CLI startup | PASS for B
`eaef0d56552c087aaa4fa68a8655282ffbd12667`, Node 24.22.1, darwin-arm64:
fresh external DB, 415 migrations, health ready, root HTML 200, company
POST 201 plus GET readback. The installed tree remained unchanged after
execution. |
| Five-minute component outage | Actual controller absence 300,168 ms.
Natural generation-2 claim at 407.196 seconds after crash, same provider
attempt and Runner, original run succeeded/committed. The larger
540-second case timed out before its retained follow-ups, so it is an
active-adoption pass, not a complete four-controller pass. The complete
short source/installed cases above independently cover follow-up and
rollback. |
| Drain/resume review regression | Fixed in
`226f03e736d1ee99fea1762ab32ea3a8a9241c20`. Five facade-level cases
pass: overdue normal/restart waits, future timer cancellation, another
facade resuming the original owner, and transient retry. Against exact
prior scheduler `5ea45f8d17e33c9a62bd79982dcf0375b07733d0`, four fail
and one passes. The later head changes documentation only. |
| Final corrected-fixture Daytona | **PARTIAL: active recovery PASS;
retained identity FAIL**, exact live source `0b6afc499f`. A was
SIGKILLed and native cache discarded; actual offline hold 300,000.375
ms. B was ready at 308,326.961 ms, naturally claimed generation 2 at
312,059 ms, authenticated at 315,996 ms and resumed processing at
316,519 ms, within the original 420-second boundary. The same run,
Runner PID/start, session, lease and event prefix survived; one turn
submitted. Original execution succeeded and settled accounting. After
completion, B was killed and its native cache discarded; C was ready in
9,077.779 ms. C executed the saved project and returned correct
`queue_r`, with all four runs succeeded/accounted. However, native and
true provider-session identities changed: the unchanged retained oracle
fails. No whole-workflow pass is claimed. |
| Prior matched-producer Daytona | FAILED at exact `abed921e12`. The
matching current-source Runner passed normal admission, completed the
first task and settled its accounting. During the active revision, A was
SIGKILLed and its native cache discarded. Actual offline hold was
300,000.727 ms; B was ready at 308,304 ms and naturally claimed
generation 2 at 309,651 ms. At about 318 seconds, the remote process
check reported `process_not_running` for the original admitted Runner.
No authenticated after-receipt or retained follow-up passed. The current
failure is preserved; no automatic retry, lease/grace relaxation, debt
edit or provider replay is used. Bounded forensic read found preserved
exact-bound state with no recoverable failure, a transport-reset
diagnostic and no terminal delivery; this supports external process loss
without proving the exact cause. The sandbox had a five-minute auto-stop
policy, conflicting with the required surviving-sandbox assumption.
Owned cleanup precedes the separate corrected-fixture case. |

**Live retained-session boundary.** Prior completed run `3806…` and C
follow-up `8adf1df3-6744-40bf-b35d-100451f29d9f` both have database
session snapshots and `nativeControllerRecovery`. Their tool
fingerprint, provider configuration, workspace descriptor,
runtime-context digest, driver and work mode match. There is no recorded
force-fresh/workspace-selection change, and this is an ordinary task
rather than a conversation-generation reset. The same issue/agent
task-session row has `session_params_json: null` and `last_run_id: null`
from baseline time. Both native normalized UUID and actual provider
session/thread hashes differ after C. Full application admission
therefore did not select the retained source. No fallback to file
execution or relaxed identity comparison is accepted as proof of
continuity.

**Independent cleanup completed.** Full current-account provider
inventory confirms no resources owned by either final fixture, with
exact-ID absence checks. Owned controllers and campaign Postgres are
stopped/removed. EC2 `i-01551c09af098dde5` is terminated, its
delete-on-termination root volume returned `InvalidVolume.NotFound` at
22:14:08 UTC, and the temporary SSH key/agent were removed. The
canonical failed report and immutable oracle input are retained. Closed
qualification receipt SHA-256:
`b4b5fefce287ebfdbf2cc2238efaad62d8ad485aed0e9c0628ae95dbc18a8575`.

**Original measurement and grader repair remain separate.** The C reply
contains the requested marker followed by a newline and the correct
output. The old workflow waited for one literal space, so its normal
receipt collection stalled; that original attempt was closed and its
canonical `cleanup_failure`/interrupted result is preserved. Commit
`af9e2d157d` repairs only this reply predicate, with 144 focused cases,
E2E typecheck, discovery and diff checks passing. Ordinary string
matching stays literal. The corrected predicate accepts the saved reply,
but the unchanged retained-identity oracle still fails. Pure
active-recovery grading of the captured measurement passes 7/7; this is
not a rewritten passing campaign.

The sandbox idle-window conflict was corrected only for this explicit
fixture (15 minutes). Actual baseline and later sandbox metadata confirm
that policy; the original active box was disposed before a post-gate
policy read, so its 15-minute setting is established by the normal
create/environment configuration rather than an after-read of that box.
Production native lifecycle and the 60/300/420-second constants remain
unchanged.

The development compatibility reader A is a genuine backport commit
based on `59ff89a18fe1312b5f0bb908439bbdb1237b0252`, with the required
idle-goal reader fixes. It is not a previously published release. Its
older executor differs from B. The rollback floor must include this
reader capability. The source component cases admitted the Linux ARM64
Runner packaged at `59ff89a18fe1312b5f0bb908439bbdb1237b0252`; the
installed component case admitted the `5cf7aead` package. Their Runner
bytes are identical: SHA-256
`b1f04caa1ce04e720dec7eb62ede170eb3621948c0849b8f305ea5c5116bced8`. Each
admitted artifact remained unchanged throughout its case.

[Final public package
build](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41121460635)
and [reader-floor
build](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41122170506)
both passed all four daemon builds, package assembly and both Darwin
clean consumers. Both Linux ARM consumers failed before provider work
with the same existing local Codex permission-profile error: bubblewrap
attempts `activity.fifo/.git` and reports “Not a directory.” This
matched baseline failure remains open; it is not a native remote
continuity pass. Full post-run tree and build-stamp revalidation also
passed after the compiled native case. The installed component trees are
A `c29114c1bf71c5af00f761aeb9e3d84ed3d3075b9f5600dee3ef2543eb2b6ec5` and
B `eda575505373a3bdc630fa4919862b359791fe3a7ef637961a25b73b38efe4b0`.

**Controlled PostgreSQL qualification passed.**
Baseline/candidate/candidate/baseline workloads used 300 controllers,
10,000 historical tasks, real snapshot/encrypted PRP writes and
unchanged pools. PostgreSQL and client were each limited to two CPUs and
1536 MiB on an isolated eight-vCPU Linux host.

| Workload | PG CPU per operation | WAL per operation | Database request
p99 |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Steady | +1.18% | +1.81% | +1.91% |
| Aligned burst | +3.40% | +2.56% | +3.81% |
| Two logical servers | +3.11% | +2.56% | +9.68% |

All arms passed absolute/correctness gates with unchanged control
transaction counts, no dropped operations and no owner loss. Overlap p99
has little margin below the relative threshold. It uses two clients in
one Node process, not two HTTP servers. [Closed measurements and
limitations](doc/plans/2026-10-30-native-controller-qualification-evidence.json)
and exact-source reproduction patches are retained. [Earlier
contended-host
failures](doc/plans/2026-10-30-native-controller-load-evidence.json)
remain unchanged. The production DB-claim probe claimed 300 owners in
2.84 seconds and restored/committed controls and snapshots in 8.74
seconds, with zero owner loss or settled-idle SQL; its provider
references were synthetic. The measured checkpoint/snapshot/renewal
paths retain the same persistence behavior after integration; later
accounting and business writes have separate owners.

Actual Runner stream tests at `da8c7f6e1837ddd896dfe83a7524812fee813487`
passed 8/512/8,192 chunks: zero recovery SQL, transactions and changed
rows during text intervals; zero settled-idle SQL. Each retained seven
control transactions and twelve changed records. Existing renewal SQL
was measured separately. The guard/scheduler fixes add no stream path,
pool or recurring idle scan.

The live fixture used current-source producer SHA-256
`f0000c90cb83880191479da639201e659aa6ce0fc7d67c859faa172ec977849e`, a
normal locked exact-head build with pinned Rust 1.97.1 in Bookworm.
Actual network-isolated, read-only ABI execution passed (GLIBC
requirement 2.34 against runtime 2.36). The immutable base image
remained
`ghcr.io/paperclipai/paperclip-daytona-runner@sha256:36069788f53c51f228764fa36180575443dfb5d1f84a342d7c0daceb28dc61cc`,
source `a0ef3ce7`. This was an unpublished development producer,
explicitly distinct from the base image and admitted before the fresh
fixture began. The earlier host build failed ABI preflight before
admission. The preceding old-producer fixture completed its initial task
but lacked the usage-basis marker required by current master; it
remained pending/unpriced and correctly paused. It was independently
cleaned without debt or budget changes. Two preceding local Linux setup
attempts OOM-killed before provider allocation, and their cleanup
passed. These attempts remain separate from the final recovery failure.

**Failures retained and resolved separately.** The earlier `98f05fc`
probe rejected a valid settled PRP v2 goal suffix; `eaef0d5` fixed that
reader and the fresh follow-up passed. Later component cleanup failures
were traced by a scoped exception observer to the fixture adapter
rejecting directory downloads. A bounded owned-directory transfer with
exact-byte/mode preflight corrected the fixture; source and installed
strict-cleanup cases then passed. No production guard was relaxed. The
initial local integrated control-port run hit its 30-second embedded
Postgres startup hook before executing 59 cases; 18 other focused cases
passed. A bounded rerun used a fresh owned external Postgres fixture,
applied normal migrations before Vitest, and passed all 59 cases with
the original timeouts unchanged. Its container and data were removed;
the failed attempt remains retained.

The additional opt-in full Product E2E Vitest run is not green: 5,313
passed, seven failed and three skipped. An actual `abed921e12` archive
with the same dependencies, Node and IPC permissions reproduces all
seven failures with the same reasons. Five are unchanged
workflow-policy/profile-pin assertions, including Pi profile version 37
versus the test pin 35. Two database suites failed during embedded
Postgres startup before their assertions; semaphore exhaustion is
confirmed in the observer log. The observer passes its supported
external-Postgres rerun with original timeouts and source unchanged. The
controller-database client-kill/postmaster assertions remain unexecuted
after `initdb` bootstrap failure; no external override is supported. The
unit launcher stopped before its Node-test phase, which was then run
independently and passed 181/181. The original failed full run is
preserved. These results remain distinct from the passing focused checks
and normal repository CI. The first local Product E2E typecheck also
encountered stale compiled Runner declarations; a genuine package-local
TypeScript compile refreshed them and the unchanged check passed,
without a dependency install or producer rebuild.

Earlier [Daytona campaign
41108162900](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41108162900)
failed at sandbox creation before any agent, with the underlying
provider error unavailable. Its [sanitized
report](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-41108162900-2/index.html)
remains a `cleanup_failure`. Both old creation names are absent in the
current authenticated account, but the old CI account identity was not
retained, so account equivalence is unproven. The subsequent exact
`eaef0d5` source Product E2E attempt passed image/agent setup and the
initial project, then held the controller offline for 300,003.7 ms. Its
Mac supervisor failed owned-process inspection before B readiness; no
adoption passed. Full current-company lease/label checks, provider
deletion, exact-ID 404s and complete inventory confirmed cleanup of that
attempt. Its local server and owned Postgres stopped. The prior AWS
campaigns and database qualification VM were terminated with root
volumes removed.

The old admitted test Runner lacks the newer usage-basis marker
introduced on master. The integrated component B turns retained
unpriced, incomplete accounting obligations with `costAccountingPending:
true` and no settled charge. The compatibility-reader A turn used its
legacy receipt interpretation but likewise retained pending accounting
and no settlement timestamp. This proves obligation preservation, not a
whole-run accounting migration. Runner/receiver release ordering remains
governed by the usage owner's contract.

At native implementation `abed921e12d543b62f57a56435419c0dafb0bc33`,
Greptile was 5/5 with zero unresolved threads and CI completed with 54
successful checks and five expected skips. At `0b6afc499f`, Greptile
again passed 5/5 with zero unresolved threads, but CI ended with 51
successful checks, five skips and three failures. Server 9/12 fails a
deterministic managed-skills maintenance assertion newly inherited from
master `198218bf` in merge `c80e00ad`; that test is absent from the PR
head, and the storage owner has the explicit-StorageService fix in
#18357. Runner 2/2 passed 2,283 unit cases but its runner received a
shutdown signal during the long stream probe; its cancelled step and
aggregate failure are preserved. No blind retry was used. Current
`af9e2d157d` checks are pending; the matcher-only change passes 144
focused cases and Product E2E typecheck. Earlier scheduling-sensitive CI
failures and the interrupted unsharded local test run remain recorded in
the dated plan. CI runs the repository's normal test partitions. Final
verification does not claim Railway rollout, uninterrupted HTTP service
or whole-webserver filesystem loss.

## Risks

- The task-pointer repair passes its assembled regression. The first
live repair exposed pre-acceptance ordering and the fresh review exposed
a replay lock-order issue; both are fixed and pass real Postgres tests
at `0862062`. The following live attempt exposed the
verified-running-versus-suspended preparation gate. Its narrow fix
passes 91 focused cases at `64c0b746`. The next live case exposed
synthetic attachment IDs; `7a203274` fixes that field selection and
passes real Runner authentication. The subsequent queued continuation
exposed strict retirement maintenance and a false default-home change;
`39a4343` fixes both with real Runner/Postgres and fingerprint
regressions. The `39a4343` live continuation failed again despite green
CI. `283e05ffaa` repairs the actual native-observed admission ordering
and reproduces/fixes the JSONB skill-order fingerprint drift. Both pass
targeted real-Postgres regressions and the live active plus queued
paths. The definition 6 post-C browser navigation timed out before
admission. Explicit definition 7 now verifies native continuation
through the ordinary comment API; its strict post-C native gate failed
after a real dispatch and remains historical failed evidence. The final
fc68584 repair now passes its fresh strict 49-check Linux/Daytona
campaign; the prior failed grades remain unchanged. Browser reconnection
is handed to its own workstream with the original failed evidence. No
prior failed campaign is reclassified as passing.
- Incorrect checkpoint/source binding or stale ownership could duplicate
external work. Missing evidence remains a hold; existing receipt and
finalization owners keep uncertain effects unresolved.
- Recovery must retain maintenance writes after accepted results without
allowing a stale business turn to write. Real lock-wait and generation
tests cover that boundary.
- The current two-connection paired burst profile fails its absolute
drain gate in both baseline and candidate, despite passing relative load
gates and all correctness checks. A causal capacity diagnostic selected
three slots; the final controlled cap-three profiles pass unchanged
thresholds. Full application replacement and two-server overlap capacity
remain separate. There is no new streaming writer, pool or recurring
idle scan.
- The remote sandbox and Runner must survive the recovery window.
Provider auto-stop is a separate lifetime bound from reconnect grace;
the explicit qualification fixture uses a longer idle window.
- Workspace and provider backup availability remain external
dependencies. This PR does not certify whole-webserver filesystem loss,
uninterrupted HTTP service or a Railway rollout.

## Model Used

Implementation and initial verification used OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex;
the initial hosted snapshot was not exposed. The follow-up qualification
used three OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` workers coordinated through Codex, with
repository tools, code execution, CI and scoped test infrastructure.
Context-window size is not exposed.
