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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Problem or motivation**

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

**Proposed solution**

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

**Alternatives considered**

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

Passed locally on Node 26.12.0 with the pinned workspace dependencies:

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

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

## Risks

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

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

## Model Used

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

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 26071353d2 feat(plugins): define settled task release and resume (#19468)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Environment plugins provide Runner tasks through the public SDK.
> - A settled turn can leave resources that a later run can reuse.
> - Core needs a shared contract to end active use and request the same
logical session later.
> - The host must retain control of capacity and report when reuse is
unavailable.
> - This pull request adds an optional release and resume contract with
strict validation and documentation.
> - The benefit is a common boundary for later host and Core integration
across Codex and ACPX.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

packages/plugins — plugin SDK and its environment task documentation.

**Problem or motivation**

The SDK has stop and completion operations. It has no explicit contract
to release active use after a settled turn and later request the same
logical session without promising retention or the same process.

**Proposed solution**

Add a versioned optional capability, release for the identified session,
and resume with fresh transient authentication. Define two explicit
resume outcomes: resumed or unavailable. Keep authorization, safe
retries and ordinary attachment requirements explicit.

**Alternatives considered**

A provider-specific command would couple Core to one host. Reusing stop,
completion or archive would change their existing meaning. A new
checkpoint format or Runner mode is unnecessary.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends the existing plugin and sandbox boundaries in ROADMAP.md.
It adds no Core caller, provider implementation or runtime activation.

**Additional context**

The duplicate search found #19371, which fixes Core failure cleanup for
a session resume owner. Its scope is separate. Related recovery work in
#19157 and admission work in #19196 remain unchanged.

## What Changed

- Add strict release and resume operation/result schemas and optional
releaseResumeVersion: 1.
- Reuse the existing task identity, inferred SDK exports and worker RPC
types.
- Define settled release, host retention policy, atomic reuse
reservation, fresh authentication, retries that cannot release a newer
owner and ordinary recovery.
- Add schema and serialized worker RPC tests, including legacy replies
and failure cases.

## Verification

- SDK typecheck: `node_modules/.bin/tsc -p
packages/plugins/sdk/tsconfig.json --noEmit` passed.
- From `packages/plugins/sdk`, `../../../node_modules/.bin/vitest run
--config vitest.config.ts tests/environment-task-release-resume.test.ts
tests/environment-tasks.test.ts tests/environment-task-error.test.ts
tests/environment-task-error-code.test.ts tests/worker-rpc-host.test.ts`
passed: 94 tests across five suites.
- `git diff --check` passed.
- [Full GitHub
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42238743059)
passed on `a55376801c91af29b68a13304d085706e4d7ed6f`. Standard Greptile
scored that head 5/5 with no comments or unresolved review threads.
- Full regressions run in GitHub CI, per the requested verification
scope. No VM, deployment or live provider test was run. These tests
prove the SDK boundary, not host retention or live attachment.

## Risks

- This is an optional contract. Runtime behavior stays unchanged until
later host and Core work uses it.
- Older strict Core schemas reject the new description field. Providers
must coordinate capability advertisement with a compatible Core.
- Host implementations must enforce settlement, exact authority,
exclusive claims and safe retries. Unknown outcomes remain errors. An
unavailable result never proves physical termination.

discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap
with planned core work may need to be redirected — check the roadmap
first. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol (`gpt-6.1-sol`), high reasoning, with repository
inspection, code editing and local test tools. Context window size was
not exposed by the runtime.

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 f9d366acdf fix(runner): require a managed AI connection for plugin Runner-task environments (#19341)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A plugin can provide Runner execution through an environment driver
that declares `supportsTasks: true`. Agent computers use this path.
> - Core let an agent without a managed AI connection run on that path.
The run then used the account that was installed on the plugin's
execution host.
> - That is not a supported credential source. When the host Runner did
not match, the run failed three times, 30 seconds apart, and then
blocked the task with a generic error. The error did not name the fix.
> - The plugin cannot refuse these runs itself. `describe` has no
connection data, and Core replaces plugin error text before the user
sees it.
> - This pull request makes a managed AI connection a requirement for
every plugin Runner-task environment. Core refuses a run without one
before it acquires a lease or calls the plugin.
> - The benefit is one clear notice that tells the operator to choose an
AI connection, and no wasted retries or plugin work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19326. That pull request makes a Runner revision mismatch retry.
It noted that runs without a managed AI connection reach the Runner
check on a different path, which still blocks after 3 attempts. This
pull request removes that path for plugin Runner-task environments.

**Problem or motivation**
A `paperclip_runner` agent with no managed AI connection can run in a
plugin environment that provides Runner tasks. The run uses the account
installed on the execution host. If the host Runner does not match, the
native session retries 3 times and then blocks the task with
"Plugin-provided Runner execution operation unavailable". The operator
cannot tell what to fix.

**Proposed solution**
Refuse these runs in Core before any lease, plugin call, secret
resolution, or provider work. Use one stable reason,
`ai_connection_required`, for run admission, the setup probe, and agent
verification. Show a task notice that names the fix.

**Alternatives considered**
A refusal in the plugin. It cannot see the connection at `describe`,
which runs first. Its error text is also replaced twice before the user
sees it. A new structured plugin error code would still not cover
`describe`.

## What Changed

- Add `server/src/services/plugin-runner-ai-connection.ts`. It holds the
`ai_connection_required` code and message, the probe result, and the
manifest lookup for a Runner-task driver. The lookup moves here from
`agent-runner-selection.ts`, so run admission and runner selection use
the same rule.
- `heartbeat/execution-configuration.ts`: refuse a new
`paperclip_runner` run in a Runner-task environment when it has no
managed AI connection. This also applies when `homeMode:
"preconfigured"` drops the connection. The run fails as
`configuration_incomplete` with reason `ai_connection_required` and an
action URL to the agent's runtime settings. The check runs before
observability, secrets, the managed runtime, the workspace, and the
lease. A resumed native run keeps its admitted contract.
- `recovery/stranded-notice.ts`: add an "AI connection required" task
notice.
- `run-failure-report.ts`: treat this pre-dispatch refusal as an owner
action, not an unexpected failure.
- `adapters/registry.ts`: the unmanaged probe for a Runner-task target
now returns a failed `ai_connection_required` check. It calls no task
operation. Managed probes still go through `testManagedEnvironment`.
- `agent-harness-verification.ts` and
`agent-lifecycle/application/failure.ts`: classify the check as
`ai_connection_required` with a fixed message. Verification waits for
the configuration to change instead of retrying.
- Docs: `PLUGIN_RUNNER_EXECUTION.md` states the requirement.
`PLUGIN_ENVIRONMENT_TASKS.md` no longer mentions installed accounts.
`agent-config-ui.md` notes the requirement.
- Tests: the "plugin-owned account" heartbeat test described the
behavior that this change removes. It now checks the assembled heartbeat
refusal: no plugin call, no native boundary, no adapter, no workspace
files.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run` in `server/` for these files. All tests passed:
- `src/__tests__/heartbeat-execution-configuration.test.ts`. New cases:
refused without a connection, refused for a preconfigured home, managed
passes, resumed native input passes, non-task plugin driver passes. The
refused cases also check that observability, secrets, and the managed
runtime did not start.
- `src/__tests__/heartbeat-plugin-environment.test.ts`. One test,
"inherits the instance default environment across companies…", also
fails on unmodified `master` in my environment. This change does not
touch it, because its driver does not declare `supportsTasks`.
- `src/adapters/registry.test.ts`,
`src/__tests__/agent-harness-verification.test.ts`,
`src/modules/agent-lifecycle/__tests__/diagnostics.test.ts`,
`src/services/recovery/stranded-notice.test.ts`, and
`src/services/__tests__/run-failure-report.test.ts`.
- 17 more suites that use plugin Runner-task environments, with 705
tests: `plugin-runner-task.integration`,
`plugin-warm-tasks.integration`, `task-creation-recovery.integration`,
`native-startup-cleanup-recovery`,
`environment-task-authority.integration`,
`plugin-task-credential-writeback`, agent-lifecycle `lifecycle`,
`setup`, and `environment-plugins`, `workspace-preparation`,
`agent-runner-selection`, `agent-harness-verification-provider-api`,
`agent-harness-verification-remote`, `plugin-environment-driver-seam`,
`environment-task-runtime`, `agent-test-environment-routes`, and
`adapter-registry`.
- `pnpm typecheck` in `server/` reported no errors in the changed files.
Its only errors came from sandbox-provider packages that my local
install did not link.
- Not run: `plugin-runner-probe.test.ts`, because it needs a Cargo
build. This change does not modify `probePluginRunnerEnvironment`. Also
not run: the full `pnpm test:run` and `pnpm build`. CI runs them.

## Risks

- Behavior change: an agent in a plugin Runner-task environment with no
managed AI connection now stops before dispatch. Before, it ran with the
host's installed account. The agent's owner must choose an AI
connection. This includes agents with `homeMode: "preconfigured"` in
these environments.
- Runs that were already admitted and resume from saved native input are
not refused. They keep the earlier behavior until they finish.
- The check reads the plugin manifest on each new run admission for
plugin environments. This is the same lookup that runner selection
already does.
- This pull request and #19326 both edit `stranded-notice.ts` and
`failure.ts`. The changes are additive, but whichever merges second
needs a small rebase.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, in Claude Code with
tool use (file edits, shell, test runs). Default context window,
extended thinking on.

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 a6ab6a301c fix(server): retry a run when its remote Runner is out of date (#19326)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - An agent can run on a remote Runner that an environment plugin
provides
> - A release can update the app before the remote Runner, so for a
short time the app sees an older Runner
> - In that window the plugin can refuse the task, but Core cannot tell
this refusal from other errors
> - Today the run fails as `setup_failed` with no retry, and the task
goes to board recovery. Before #19246, it was also reported as a project
authentication conflict
> - Agent verification also counts the refusal as a failed harness test,
and it parks the agent after three tries
> - This pull request gives the plugin a stable error code for a Runner
mismatch, and Core waits and retries when it gets that code
> - The benefit is that a release no longer blocks tasks or parks
agents, and a real authentication conflict keeps its own clear notice

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19246 (it stopped reporting every precheck error as a project
authentication conflict)
Refs #19249 (the same bounded bootstrap retry for a stopped plugin
worker)
Refs #19302 (shares `environment-task-error.ts`; its diagnostic envelope
is unchanged)
Refs #19172 (related open PR: it reports an undescribable plugin Runner
as a retryable check in the same precheck)
Refs #18667 (a real `ai_connection_incompatible` conflict, which now
gets its own notice)

**What happened?**
A run started while its remote Runner was older than the app. The
environment plugin refused the task because the installed Runner did not
match the revision it expects. Core recorded a generic setup failure,
scheduled no retry, and blocked the task. Before #19246, Core reported
this as a project authentication conflict. An agent in `verifying`
counted the same refusal as a failed harness test. After three tries it
stopped verification until a person chose Retry.

**Expected behavior**
Core treats a Runner mismatch as temporary. A run retries without
blocking its task. A `verifying` agent checks again until the Runner
matches. Only a real `ai_connection_incompatible` result blocks the
task, with a notice that names the conflict.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Use an agent on a plugin environment whose installed remote Runner
revision differs from the revision the plugin expects.
2. Wake the agent on a task, or put a new agent through verification.
3. The run fails with `setup_failed` and the task is blocked.
Verification parks after three tries.

**Paperclip version or commit**
master at 377e98f1a2.

**Deployment mode**
Authenticated deployment with a plugin environment that provides a
remote Runner.

## What Changed

- Plugin SDK: add `PluginEnvironmentTaskError` and
`ENVIRONMENT_TASK_ERROR_CODES` with one code,
`runner_revision_mismatch`. The worker RPC host sends it as structured
`environmentTask` error data with the schema
`paperclip/environment-task-error-code/v1`
(`environmentTaskErrorCodeData`, read with
`readEnvironmentTaskErrorCode`). This uses the same envelope method as
the other environment RPC errors. Core reads only the code, never the
message. The source refusal diagnostic from #19302 keeps its own schema
and API unchanged, and it takes precedence on a source `submit`.
- `executeEnvironmentTask` still replaces each worker error with a
generic error. After the #19302 diagnostic check, it now keeps only that
closed code.
- Run setup: a Runner mismatch before provider dispatch gets the error
code `runner_revision_mismatch`. Setup schedules a bounded retry with
its own reason, `runner_revision_wait`, and budget (10 attempts, 60 s
apart). The reason is in the same resource-wait lane as workspace and AI
connection waits, so a wait does not spend the failure retry budget. The
guards are the same as for `plugin_worker_unavailable`. Recovery and
legacy reconciliation treat the code like the other bootstrap-only
codes. `scheduleBoundedRetryForRun` uses the Runner wait reason and
budget for a mismatch run when a caller gives no reason, and the
recovery sweeper reports exhaustion from that budget
(`failedRunRetryBudgetSpent`). An answered interaction that hits a
mismatch also waits for the Runner, and its successor keeps the resolved
interaction continuation identity.
- Move the managed project auth classification from `heartbeat.ts` to
`classifyManagedProjectAuthFailure` in `run-preparation.ts`. Only a
found `ai_connection_incompatible` conflict becomes a configuration
failure. All other errors keep their own code.
- Recovery notices: `ai_connection_incompatible` now has its own notice
instead of the "secret/env bindings" text. An exhausted Runner wait gets
the notice "Remote Runner is out of date".
- Agent verification: the Runner probe and the managed project auth
precheck report a mismatch as a retryable check.
`assertHarnessTestPassed` maps it to the new lifecycle code
`runner_revision_mismatch`. That code never counts toward the
three-failure park. The agent checks again every 60 s and becomes ready
when the Runner matches.
- Document the error code in `doc/plugins/PLUGIN_ENVIRONMENT_TASKS.md`.

## Verification

- `cd packages/plugins/sdk && npx vitest run
tests/environment-task-error-code.test.ts
tests/environment-task-error.test.ts tests/worker-rpc-host.test.ts`: the
code crosses the real `environmentTask` RPC. A plain error with the same
message gets no code. Other methods get no envelope. The #19302
diagnostic tests still pass.
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/heartbeat/run-completion.test.ts`: a fresh or wrapped
mismatch gets `runner_revision_mismatch` and the runner retry budget,
with no configuration failure. A started, untrusted (message only) or
native run keeps `setup_failed` with no retry. A real
`ai_connection_incompatible` stays `configuration_incomplete` with no
retry. Other errors, such as an unreachable execution host, are not
reported as an authentication conflict.
- `npx vitest run src/services/execution-recovery-attempt.test.ts`:
Runner waits do not change `failureRetries`, and earlier failures do not
shorten the wait.
- `npx vitest run src/services/heartbeat/retries.test.ts
src/modules/run-dispatch` (embedded Postgres): a recovery caller without
options gets the Runner wait budget and its exhaustion. An answered
interaction waits for the Runner, keeps its continuation identity and
does not spend failure retries.
- `npx vitest run src/__tests__/environment-task-runtime.test.ts`:
sanitization keeps only the code. No worker text or cause survives.
- `npx vitest run
src/modules/agent-lifecycle/__tests__/verification-retry.test.ts`
(embedded Postgres): a `verifying` agent keeps checking after five
mismatches. It never gets `retryRequired`. It becomes ready when the
next check passes.
- `npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/plugin-runner-probe-runner-mismatch.test.ts
src/__tests__/agent-harness-verification-remote.test.ts
src/services/recovery/stranded-notice.test.ts
src/services/recovery/service.pause-durability.test.ts
src/services/legacy-execution-recovery.test.ts`.
- `npx tsc --noEmit` passes for `packages/plugins/sdk` and `server`.
- One test in `src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts`
("redacts opaque environment-bound credentials from Sentry diagnostics")
fails on my machine. It fails the same way on the base commit without
this change.
- I did not run the full `pnpm test:run`, `pnpm -r typecheck` or `pnpm
build`. CI covers them.

## Risks

- Low to medium. The change adds one new setup failure code and one
lifecycle code. Other failures keep their current behavior.
- A Runner mismatch must come from a plugin that throws
`PluginEnvironmentTaskError`. Until an environment plugin does that,
behavior is the same as today.
- The run retry budget is 10 minutes. If a Runner update takes longer,
the task goes to board recovery with the Runner notice.
- A remote Runner run without a managed AI connection reaches the Runner
check only after native dispatch. That configuration is not supported,
so this change does not handle it. Such a run keeps the native session
retry (3 attempts, 30 s apart).
- #19172 edits the same precheck call in `agent-environment-test.ts`.
Whichever PR merges second needs a small rebase. Keep the mismatch check
before its generic retryable check.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 9a79384958 Relay bounded Runner source refusal diagnostics (#19302)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - An environment plugin can submit a Runner continuation from a
retained source.
> - The host can refuse that continuation when its source is unverified
or has an unresolved operation.
> - The worker and Core currently discard that bounded reason.
> - Raw provider errors can contain credentials, text or foreign
identities.
> - This pull request relays only a closed diagnostic and keeps the
existing admission and redaction rules.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19134 and #19157. This independent fix is based on master. A
search found no duplicate relay.

**What happened?**

A source submit can receive HTTP 409 with `SESSION_STATE_UNAVAILABLE`.
The worker drops its structured data. Core then replaces the error with
a generic message. The caller cannot distinguish the two known
diagnostic reasons safely.

**Expected behavior**

Carry only the fixed status, code and reason through SDK worker RPC and
Core. Keep all provider text and identities out of the relayed error. A
diagnostic must not authorize a retry or change state.

**Steps to reproduce**

Submit an authorized retained source through a task provider. Have the
provider throw the recognized state-unavailable error. Read the error
after worker RPC and Core dispatch.

## What Changed

- Export `PluginEnvironmentTaskErrorDiagnostic`,
`environmentTaskErrorData` and `readEnvironmentTaskErrorDiagnostic`.
- Accept only `httpStatus: 409`, `errorCode:
"SESSION_STATE_UNAVAILABLE"` and reason `"unresolved_operation"` or
`"source_state_unverified"`.
- Attach the versioned envelope only to an environment task `submit`
with `resumeFrom`. Replace its provider message with a fixed message.
- Revalidate and reconstruct the closed error in Core. Keep other
failures under the existing generic redaction.
- Document older SDK behavior and the diagnostic-only boundary. No
grant, retry, discard, lifecycle or admission rule changes.

## Verification

- Rebased head `7d02bb3e4c` includes master’s UI fixture fix from
#19342. The sole conflict was in the worker integration test imports. It
now imports both the physical-task result schema from #19300 and the
diagnostic reader and RPC error type from this PR. The 39 SDK/worker
cases and 57 Core/runtime cases passed, including PostgreSQL worker
integration. The SDK build and Runner/server TypeScript checks passed.
[Current-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42111889388)
passed without retries. All 56 check-rollup entries were green,
including Snyk and Socket; [standard Greptile review
2](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/19302#issuecomment-6665823815)
scored this exact head **5/5**, with zero unresolved threads. The PR was
marked ready on November 5 at 21:37 UTC.

- Both new worker relay cases fail against the baseline worker and pass
with the fix.
- 46 SDK/worker cases passed, including both reasons, malformed/foreign
envelopes, extra identities, unsafe getters and non-source operations.
- 51 Core/runtime cases passed. The integration uses real SDK
serialization and dispatch with PostgreSQL through the existing
authorized retained-source submit. It verifies both reasons, malformed
RPC rejection, extra-field removal, preserved source outcome and
existing dispatch bookkeeping. A valid envelope on an ordinary submit or
status stays generic.
- Runner and SDK builds and server TypeScript check passed. An initial
Runner build lacked its eval-kernel build prerequisite; it passed after
that prerequisite was built.
- The first expanded DB fixture used a shared environment name and
failed its unique constraint. It now uses its unique fixture ID; both
complete focused files pass.
- Diff and added-line secret scans passed. [GitHub workflow
42083410387](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42083410387)
passed on its second attempt. All CI checks completed, and Snyk passed.
Standard Greptile scored exact head `38559ec4df8c` 5/5 with no
unresolved threads. That result applies to the previous head.
- The first GitHub attempt failed in the unchanged concurrent-budget
case in `decision-models.test.ts` (one provider call observed, two
expected). That exact case passed locally without code or assertion
changes. The workspace shard also passed 4,960 tests before the
unchanged CLI company import/export fixture exceeded its 30-second
child-server startup wait. No port-collision cause is claimed; that
fixture deliberately reserves the requested port. Both initial logs are
retained. One failed-job-only retry passed without source changes.

## Risks

Older SDKs keep the generic failure. The envelope is diagnostic evidence
only. Provider operation and call identities are never accepted.
Specific user-visible operation reporting must use Core's retained event
or receipt under its existing authority.

Master does not contain the new claimed predecessor orchestration. This
PR tests the existing retained-source submission boundary. It does not
claim the #19157 source recovery or old-journal end-to-end
qualification. Runtime pins and deployments remain separate.

## Model Used

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

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

## Risks

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

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

## Model Used

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

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

## Model Used

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

Nicky LeachandPaperclip a3e8fa568a Reduce repeated work during plugin Runner admission (#17377)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents and their execution authority.
> - A plugin can host Runner tasks on a persistent execution host.
> - Admission checks must observe current lifecycle state and
credentials.
> - The current runtime reader also resolves files, skills, and
connections for each check.
> - Some providers also repeat the same project authentication check
during submit.
> - This pull request adds a compact fresh reader and an explicit
submit-time validation contract.
> - Providers can remove repeated work while Core keeps lease and scope
checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Plugin Runner startup before task submission.

**Current behavior**

One measured startup made 30 full runtime reads during bootstrap. These
reads took 5.759 seconds. Each guard can resolve instructions, skills,
and connection assignments even when it only needs current identity and
lifecycle state. Providers that already enforce project authentication
in submit must also perform a separate Core preflight.

**Proposed behavior**

Use a lifecycle-owned runtime identity reader for guards. Keep the full
runtime reader for synchronization inputs. A trusted provider can
declare `projectAuthCheckAtSubmit: true` in its prepared result. Core
pins the exact configuration, provider, and project set on the lease.
The provider must reject authentication conflicts before credential
installation or task start. Providers that omit the flag retain the
existing preflight.

**Reason and benefit**

Estimated savings with a paired consumer: 4–5 seconds from compact
runtime checks, plus roughly 0.5–0.9 seconds from removing the duplicate
authentication operation. These estimates overlap and are not a measured
deployed result. Refs #17367 for the separate run-log HEAD optimization;
this PR does not duplicate it.

**Breaking changes**

No migration. The SDK adds a host method and an optional prepared-result
field. Consumers that use them require this Core host version. Older
providers retain their existing flow.

## What Changed

- Add `agents.getRuntimeIdentity` across SDK, RPC, host service, and
test fixtures.
- Reuse the existing company, plugin ownership, readiness, and
capability checks. Read lifecycle state and protected instance secrets
fresh on every call.
- Skip instruction, organization, skill, and connection hydration in the
compact reader.
- Allow explicit submit-time authentication enforcement, with prepared
scope pinned and checked again at dispatch.
- Emit fixed preparation, project-auth, submit, and connection timing
phases.

## Verification

- 72 targeted SDK capability, plugin task-owner, and environment-task
mediator tests passed.
- 33 real embedded-Postgres lifecycle and secret tests passed, including
pause, content revision, company isolation, plugin disablement, and
secret rotation.
- SDK and server TypeScript checks passed. Local Runner/eval TypeScript
outputs were built to satisfy server type resolution.
- Local Postgres required missing library aliases in ignored
dependencies; no product source was changed for that repair.
- Full repository suites are delegated to GitHub CI. No live rollout or
speedup claim.

## Risks

The submit-time flag delegates enforcement to a trusted provider. It is
not proof that prepare already checked authentication. The provider must
check before VM credential installation or task admission. Core still
checks exact prepared scope, active lease, run identity, credential
type, and dispatch fencing. Existing providers keep the separate check.
Roll back a paired consumer before rolling back this host.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 (Codex), with code execution and repository tools. Exact
deployment build and context-window size are not exposed.

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip coordinates AI agents and retains their work across
failures.
> - A retry can require a new workspace while preserving the failed
attempt.
> - Core rejects this recovery strategy for provider-owned storage.
> - Providers should implement the required outcome using their own

without losing prior work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A retry that selects `fresh_isolated_workspace` fails with
`fresh_workspace_storage_unsupported` for provider-owned storage.

**Expected behavior**
Core asks a capable provider to prepare new storage and attach verified
recovery files. The failed workspace remains intact.

**Steps to reproduce**
Run a task in a task-capable plugin environment. Let the task fail
without a verified workspace preservation receipt. Retry the task so
Core selects a fresh attempt.

**Paperclip version or commit**
6204239cf (rebased on current master).

**Deployment mode**
Self-hosted server with a plugin task environment and managed workspace
provider.

Search found no duplicate implementation. This branch includes the
default-provider changes from #17247 and preserves their source
selection behavior.

## What Changed

- Define an opt-in fresh-preparation contract with a stable attempt
identity and verified recovery file descriptors.
- Describe retained-storage and recovery-attachment guarantees without
requiring a Git storage layout.
- Reserve replacement task bindings with revision checks and keep the
failed workspace intact. Projectless and project-backed task
environments both replay their stable attempt reservation.
- Reconcile an interrupted preparation against its reserved workspace
and stable operation identity.
- Stage verified recovery archives at stable transfer paths. Delegate
attachment materialization to the provider.
- Preserve projectless attempt directory identities through later turns
and pin the intent into each execution lease.
- Protect fresh intent and projectless ownership from caller metadata
replacement or injection.

## Verification

- SDK workspace-provider tests: 4 passed.
- Targeted reservation and task-dispatch tests: 31 passed.
- Recovery transfer staging and lifecycle focus: 7 passed. The separate
cache-cleanup failure reconciliation case also passed.
- After rebasing on current master, 7 focused preparation and ownership
cases passed. These cover inherited provider defaults, fresh
preparation, stable projectless identity, and authorization denial.
- The focused metadata authority regression passed, including forged
intent, replacement, and null metadata patches.
- Three assembled interrupted task-reservation cases passed:
projectless, project with a saved source, and project with a newly
selected default source.
- Targeted tests use worktree SDK sources. No full local build or
typecheck ran.
- Local checks remain targeted as requested. Latest-head GitHub CI
passed: 54 successful checks, including typecheck, build, server suites,
Runner validation, and E2E shards; 2 unrelated Storybook checks were
skipped.
- Greptile reviewed commit 73595b0c61 at
5/5 with zero unresolved threads.
- Live VM E2E has not run.

## Risks

- Existing providers retain their existing behavior. Fresh attempts
require explicit version support.
- The companion provider implementation must materialize recovery
snapshots safely and preserve the old workspace.
- Fresh retries require the companion provider implementation. Providers
without the version marker fail closed.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-6.1 (`gpt-6.1-sol`), reasoning and coding tools. The
runtime does not expose the context-window limit.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 00331e0254 Connect native Runner admission to plugin-owned workspaces (#16978)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages work for AI agents.
> - A plugin can own an execution environment and its files.
> - #17029 supplies the task driver and bounded setup verification.
> - Heartbeat still prepares workspace files on Core and expects a shell
transport.
> - This PR gives the selected plugin ownership of workspace preparation
and native task execution.
> - Core keeps admission, tool authority, and recovery checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Heartbeat workspace admission and native Runner execution.

**Problem or motivation**

A task-only plugin cannot run through Core filesystem staging or shell
execution. Native admission and recovery must use the same lease and
workspace ownership.

**Proposed solution**

Use the task driver from #17029. Resolve workspace and project
identities without Core file operations. Connect native dispatch and
restart recovery to that driver.

**Alternatives considered**

Keep workspace admission and dispatch in one change. A workspace change
alone would leave dispatch on the previous transport. An execution
change alone would leave Core staging files for the wrong host.

## What Changed

- Enable plugin environment selection for native workspace sessions.
- Resolve workspace metadata and authorized project references without
Core checkout, copy, or provision operations.
- Preserve agent-default and primary workspace policies. Use the pinned
workspace provider for plugin-backed project storage. Reject unsupported
Core service commands and cross-owner reuse.
- Connect native execution to the prepared task driver. Keep assigned
MCP authority on Core.
- Save exact checkpoint identity, transfer selected account refreshes,
and require termination proof before replacement or cleanup.
- Complete managed plugin workspaces through their storage provider. Use
the same check after a restart. Keep branch validation and leave
task-owned files on the plugin.
- Include default instruction content in runtime synchronization when no
instruction directory exists.
- Defer new-agent Copilot verification until the saved-agent lifecycle
can acquire the agent-owned computer.

## Verification

- Rebased onto `origin/master` at `898144f4b3`. Master advanced once
during verification. Both manual conflicts joined import blocks: one in
`native-session-executor.ts`, and one in
`heartbeat/runtime-execution.ts`. The seven patches retain their logic.
The first rebased head passed repository typecheck, build, all 862
focused execution/finalizer cases, and all CI gates. The latest head
`93e5a72892` passes server typecheck and all 880 focused execution,
finalization, and execution-control notification tests. All 54 CI/review
checks pass, with two expected skips. Greptile ran automatically and
scored this head 5/5 with no unresolved findings. No new review or Apex
request was made for these import-only resolutions.
- The successful CI workflow initially left three stale job-check
reports. Targeted policy and summary reruns cleared the reports. No
source change or test fix was needed.
- Repository typecheck and build pass: `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm
build`.
- Focused native execution and restart tests pass: 795 cases. The
account and harness suites pass: 159 cases. Workspace admission passes:
48 cases. The SDK task lifecycle, workspace API, runtime-hook, and
instruction checks also pass.
- The heartbeat integration case uses the merged workspace provider
contract and reaches native dispatch with no project files on Core. The
new-agent case confirms that creation leaves the agent in `preparing`
until lifecycle verification.
- Map validation and the Copilot source-identity check pass. No Runner
implementation or source-identity bump is in this PR.
- The first rebased workspace run found two stale path assertions and a
recovery guard that did not recognize task-owned targets. These are
fixed. The storage integration fixture also needed its persisted source
binding; the production authorization check stays in place.
- Two prior review findings required rejection of Core service startup
and cross-owner workspace reuse. The existing admission fixtures now
check both failures. The installed-account authentication finding was
fixed in merged #17029.
- Tests reuse the current fixtures. No new provider test matrix or live
Runner process is added for these fixes.
- The prior head `2db273ec12` passed CI on its first attempt and reached
standard Greptile 5/5. Apex scored 4/5 and found local-folder checks
during plugin completion and recovery.
- The completion fix reproduces both failures. It passes all 110 cases
in the runtime execution, workspace finalizer, and workspace provider
integration suites. Server typecheck and map checks pass. CI passed on
`62d8335b4e` on its first attempt, and standard Greptile scored 5/5. The
next Apex review scored 4/5. It found that a failed plugin inspection
could abort restart recovery.
- The restart fix records a failed workspace receipt and uses the
current run retry policy. A regression first reproduced the aborted
pass. It now checks retry state, retained results, and completion of
another workspace in the same pass. All 68 finalizer cases and server
typecheck pass. CI passed on `7d4016323b` on its first attempt. Standard
Greptile and Apex both scored 5/5. Apex left one P2 about lost failure
codes.
- The diagnostic fix keeps the known branch and owner mismatch codes in
receipts and run recovery state. It gives repair guidance for those
codes and keeps unknown plugin errors generic. All 96 affected finalizer
cases and server typecheck pass. Before the rebase, required CI passed
on `c2fa61c6c8` on its first attempt. Standard Greptile and Apex both
scored 5/5 on that head, with no unresolved findings. The new head
retains these reviewed patches.
- The earlier Superagent scan on `c2fa61c6c8` was inconclusive after a
pinned merge-base checkout failed or timed out. The current scan on
`93e5a72892` passes.
- The exact rebased head passes all 48 workspace cases and server
typecheck. The first local test launch could not bind PostgreSQL inside
the sandbox. The authorized local-server run passed.
- The prior head reached standard Greptile 5/5. Its first CI run hit an
unchanged Runner cleanup timeout and an external build-runner shutdown.
Both jobs passed on the single retry. The timeout cause is not
established.
- A local regression check found that a retained Core workspace could
also enter a plugin task without file transfer. Core now rejects this
move before provider work. The existing ledger test covers both
directions and confirms that the source files stay intact.
- The first active standard review scored 4/5. It found that a fresh
plugin retry could enter Core Git preparation. This mode now uses the
existing unsupported-storage error before workspace resolution or
acquisition. Both unsupported-mode cases pass, and server typecheck
passes.
- No live Cloud or provider validation was run.

## Risks

- The prerequisite #17029 is merged. This PR targets master.
- Native plugin tasks support per-turn workspace sessions. Core service
commands and fresh retries that import retained files remain
unsupported. A workspace storage plugin can use the modes and strategies
it declares.
- Core-managed credentials support Codex and direct Claude accounts.
Other managed credential routes fail closed. Other harnesses can use an
installed account.
- A provider must preserve its prepared configuration and report process
termination correctly. Uncertain termination keeps the task pending
cleanup.
- Cloud deployment and live provider validation remain separate.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip e5351b240a Verify native Runner setup through plugin tasks (#17029)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages work for AI agents.
> - An environment plugin can own a Runner task.
> - The merged launch-preparation contract lets the execution owner
build the provider configuration.
> - Core still needs a task process owner and a setup test that uses
that configuration.
> - This PR connects the task API to the Runner process-owner contract.
> - Operators can test a plugin environment before Core sends it task
work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Runner, plugin SDK, and agent environment tests.

**Problem or motivation**

A task-only environment cannot use the shell-based setup path. Core must
verify the Runner hello exchange and process cleanup through dedicated
task operations.

**Proposed solution**

Add a lease-bound task driver and use it for a bounded setup probe. Keep
heartbeat admission and task execution in #16978. This PR follows the
merged launch-preparation contract in #16997.

**Alternatives considered**

A provider declaration alone cannot prove that Runner and the provider
connect. A shell bridge would give the plugin an unnecessary command
interface.

## What Changed

- Pass structured Runner launch data to process owners. Support an
external connection and explicit detach.
- Add typed launch authentication checks and checkpoint operations.
Check lease, run, project, and retained-task authority.
- Connect launch preparation, PRP, termination proof, and credential
handoff to the task driver. Reject local environment overrides during
installed-account setup. Pass saved-account identity and credential home
directly from Core.
- Run a short-lived setup probe through the existing agent environment
test API. Require a verified provider hello and cleanup. Keep saved
Copilot account checks metadata-only through a dedicated task operation.
- Update the Copilot source identity because the shared transport source
changed. Keep provider behavior and the earlier identity fixture.

## Verification

- CI passes on `f987adec7`: 55 successful checks and 5 expected skips.
Standard Greptile and Apex are both 5/5 with no open findings. The
branch merges cleanly with current master.
- Repository typecheck and build pass after the rebase onto the
workspace-provider contract. Server typecheck and build also pass after
the final setup fix.
- The 110 focused lease, SDK, setup, Copilot, and route cases pass after
the rebase. All 14 setup cases pass after the final change. These
include a real local Runner with a test provider. The saved-agent
model-discovery case also passes.
- Apex found that Core's relative workspace marker failed the driver
path check, and non-Codex sessions omitted the observed model. Both
failures were reproduced and fixed. The probe leaves physical workspace
selection to plugin preparation. The transport reads each provider's
observed model and exposes it to the driver. All 14 setup cases, 6
transport peer cases, and both existing real Runner/OpenCode cases pass.
Runner build and server typecheck pass.
- The coverage audit removed two redundant cases, repeated fixture code,
and two extra real Runner launches. It kept authorization, credential
selection, cancellation, lost replies, termination proof, checkpoint
identity, and provider setup checks.
- The Copilot source-identity check passes. The added-line secret and
PII scan passes. The unmerged v52 attestation was regenerated after the
shared transport fix.
- CI on `13faeff02` caught one stale Copilot digest assertion after
attestation regeneration. The literal now matches the candidate
attestation, and all 49 installation cases pass. That CI lane otherwise
passed 1,818 cases.
- An earlier CI run hit an unchanged UI toast timing test. The separate
fix is tracked in #16952. Current CI passes that shard. CI also caught a
stale model-discovery assertion in this change; the assertion is fixed.
- The local full-suite run was stopped when master changed. The final CI
run supplies exact-head full-suite validation. No live Cloud or provider
test was run.

## Risks

- Native hello tests require a saved Core account or the installed
account. Local environment overrides are unsupported for
installed-account probes and fail before the provider runs.
- A native task provider must declare launch preparation and
authentication-check version 1. It must keep the checked configuration
fixed through submission. Core rejects providers that cannot make this
guarantee.
- A lost task reply does not prove process termination. Core retains
grants until the provider proves termination and Core saves required
state.
- This PR does not enable native heartbeat dispatch through plugin
environments. Cloud deployment and live provider validation remain
separate.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip dc6dd23ea4 Add plugin Runner preparation task contract (#16993)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages work for AI agents.
> - Environment plugins can own Runner tasks.
> - Core selects provider policy and runtime assignments.
> - The execution environment must resolve its own paths and
configuration.
> - The task API needs a preparation exchange before execution.
> - This PR adds that exchange under the existing lease authority.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Problem or motivation**
The environment task API can start a Runner. It cannot return a prepared
provider configuration from Core requirements.

**Proposed solution**
Add a versioned `prepare` request and `prepared` result. Keep the
provider configuration bound to its task and requirements. Check the
same company, run, project, and retained-session authority as
submission.

**Alternatives considered**
A shell preparation command would expose execution details in the API.
Provider-specific ownership flags would spread this contract across
backends.

**Roadmap alignment**
This extends the existing plugin and remote execution APIs. It does not
add a separate execution system.

Refs #16977, #15406. The prerequisite #16977 is merged. This PR now
targets master. Runner transport and provider implementations follow
separately.

## What Changed

- Add strict launch requirements and prepared result schemas.
- Add the preparation capability version and saved configuration ID.
- Apply existing lease and resource checks to preparation.
- Document idempotency, cancellation, recovery, and cleanup
requirements.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed.
- Plugin SDK build passed.
- All 55 Dot Runner and native Codex server integration tests passed
with Cargo available on PATH.
- All 18 environment task runtime tests passed. These include
preparation dispatch, inactive leases, wrong run identity, unauthorized
projects, result identity, and unknown command rejection.
- The broader root suite on the parent refactor finished with 22,420
passing tests, seven failed tests in unchanged Git and diagnostic code,
and two suite setup errors because Cargo was absent from its PATH. This
PR does not claim a passing full root suite.
- No live provider calls or deployment were run. 
- Standard Greptile and Apex each scored commit
`d3ac15906240b7066f5ff505ed2ffd9ef5dd43c1` 5/5. There are no unresolved
review threads.
- All 55 CI checks passed. Two optional checks were skipped. The branch
is ready and mergeable against master.
- A fresh master fetch and merge-base check passed immediately before
the Apex request.

## Risks

- This defines a new optional worker operation. Existing providers keep
their current operations.
- A provider must validate policy and resource bindings. Schema
validation alone does not validate a concrete provider descriptor.
- This PR defines the exchange. It does not connect native execution to
a preparation provider.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex, GPT-6. Reasoning and repository tools. The exact serving
model identifier and context size are not exposed in this session.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 33cc567f75 Add lease-scoped Runner task hooks to environment plugins (#15406)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip coordinates AI agents and their runs.
> - Environment plugins own remote capacity.
> - A plugin needs a typed API to start and stop its installed Runner.
> - Core must derive authority from the saved lease.
> - A lost reply or controller restart must not lose cleanup authority.
> - This PR adds the worker contract and the host task service.
> - Native execution and Runner changes are separate PRs.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Plugin SDK and environment lease services.

**Current behavior**

Environment plugins have no typed Runner task hook. Core cannot dispatch
these tasks or recover their credential handoff through a saved lease.

**Proposed behavior**

Add validated task operations, worker negotiation, company and project
checks, retained-session authorization, and durable cleanup. Keep
credentials out of lease metadata.

**Additional context**

This PR is the first part of a smaller series. Runner installed-home
support is in #16977. Native execution and setup are in #16978. Both are
stacked drafts. This PR does not enable native plugin execution, change
default environments, add a route, or add a database migration.

## What Changed

- Add `supportsTasks` and `onEnvironmentTask` with seven typed
operations.
- Validate worker requests and responses. Reject shell commands and file
transfer operations.
- Pin dispatch and cleanup to the saved company, lease, plugin, and
driver.
- Authorize projects and retained sessions. Validate the current run
separately from the retained PRP identity.
- Save dispatch before the provider call. Fence admission during
cleanup. Require observed process termination.
- Save account writeback authority on the lease. Recover Codex refreshes
through the existing account and secret services.
- Document the task API. Keep the Runner, heartbeat, setup, workspace,
and provider changes in later PRs.

## Verification

- Full `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed on the separated API
scope.
- 201 focused tests passed: SDK worker dispatch, task validation,
PostgreSQL task lineage, credential recovery, and existing environment
cleanup.
- The lineage test covers a third run, repeated same-run replacements, a
stale submitting run, and exact termination receipts.
- Initial commands hit sandbox socket/IPC restrictions. The permitted
runs executed PostgreSQL and passed. A typecheck attempt lacked Cargo in
PATH; the run with the installed toolchain passed.
- The earlier combined implementation had a full local run with 22,286
passing tests, 120 skips, and eight failed assertions. Task fixture
failures were fixed before this split. Remaining host Git and
temporary-path assertions are recorded in the previous PR revision. This
split does not claim a fresh full local suite pass.
- The standard Greptile review scored this API head 5/5 with no
unresolved threads. CI is green. The single Apex review also scored this
head 5/5 with no actionable findings.
- Fresh API CI lost a self-hosted runner during server shard 9. GitHub
reported lost communication, with no failed test step. The affected jobs
passed on retry without code changes.
- CI on the prior combined head failed an unchanged workspace dev-server
readiness case. No unrelated test fix is included here. Fresh CI is
required for this smaller head.
- This scope does not run a provider or a Cloud test. The user owns
deployment and the intermediate Cloud test.

## Risks

- The API is opt-in. Native plugin execution requires the later
integrations.
- Providers must make task submission idempotent and prove descendant
termination.
- A failed status read or credential export keeps the lease available
for cleanup.
- Codex refresh writeback requires the same active grant, secret
reference, and session epoch. Revocation or account replacement discards
the old refresh.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex. Used source inspection, code execution,
tests, and GitHub tools. The exact served model ID and context-window
size are not exposed in this session.
