Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 11ac90e31f fix(build): typecheck server/src/__tests__ and fix every type error (#18739)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server has about 1,100 test and helper files in
`server/src/__tests__`
> - `server/tsconfig.json` excludes that directory, Vitest does not
check types, and no script runs the tsconfig in that directory
> - So a test can call a function with the wrong arguments and still
pass, and no tool reports it
> - This gap hid 2,168 real type errors, and some of them hid tests that
did not test what they claim
> - This pull request fixes all of these errors and adds the directory
to the server layers from paperclipai/paperclip#18737
> - The benefit is that a type error in a server test now fails the
typecheck, with no baseline and no backlog

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs paperclipai/paperclip#18737, which is merged and added the server
layers. Refs paperclipai/paperclip#18738, which is merged and checks the
test projects outside `pnpm -r`, so it is not a duplicate. Refs
paperclipai/paperclip#18137, which records that this directory has no
check.

**What happened?**

No tool checked the types of 1,074 of the 1,101 files in
`server/src/__tests__`. I searched `package.json`, the workflows, and
all tsconfig files. 27 files are in the program of another tsconfig, and
these 27 have 0 errors. 11 of the 27 are in
`helpers/maintenance/tsconfig.json`. No script ran that project when I
measured this. paperclipai/paperclip#18738 now runs it.

**Expected behavior**

The server typecheck checks these files, and a type error fails the
check.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. On the base commit, run `tsc -p server/src/__tests__/tsconfig.json
--noEmit`. It reports 6,536 errors and needs 12.3 GiB.
2. Add a type error to any file in `server/src/__tests__`.
3. Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`. It passes.

**Paperclip version or commit**

I measured the error breakdown below on commit `8dfd632452`, with
TypeScript 7.0.2. The branch now includes master up to
paperclipai/paperclip#18865.

**Deployment mode**

Not applicable. This issue applies to development and CI. No production
source file in the server changes.

### Error breakdown

Each row adds one change to the row above.

| Step | Total errors | Change | Cause |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Config as committed | 6,536 | | |
| Add `src/types/*.d.ts` | 4,447 | -2,089 | Config. The Express request
types were missing. |
| Set `rootDir` to the repository root | 2,436 | -2,011 | Config. |
| Set `allowImportingTsExtensions` | 2,181 | -255 | Config. Vitest
accepts `.ts` imports. |
| Add `ES2024.Promise` to `lib` | 2,138 | -43 | Config. Node 24 has
`Promise.withResolvers`. |
| Set `allowJs` for `.mjs` imports | 2,148 | +10 | Config. It removes 8
`TS7016` errors and shows new real errors. |
| Set `declaration` to false | 2,142 | -6 | Config. Tests emit nothing.
|
| Count only files in `server/src` | 2,058 | -84 | Other packages: 53
Daytona, 29 Runner test, 2 UI. |

So 4,478 of the 6,536 errors (69%) came from config or scope, and 2,058
are real type errors in 314 files. The 29 Runner test errors are also
real, which gives 2,087 errors. Tests that master added after this
measurement had 81 more errors, so this pull request fixes 2,168 errors.

This table classifies the first 2,058 errors.

| Kind of real error | Errors |
| --- | --- |
| Wrong argument or assignment type | 1,023 |
| Stale or partial fixture objects | 525 |
| Property that the type does not have | 317 |
| Missing narrowing of null or unknown | 101 |
| Implicit any | 60 |
| Missing name or module | 16 |
| Other | 16 |

### What the type errors hid

Most errors were stale fixtures and loose mocks. These errors hid real
test problems, and this pull request fixes them:

- **A test that never ran.** `instrumentation.test.ts` required
`sdk-trace-base`, which is not installed. So 3 span tests were skipped.
They now run and pass.
- **Assertions that could not fail.**
- `issue-thread-interactions-service` used a company ID as an issue ID.
- `status-card-evaluation-work` compared `[]` with `[]` in a rollback
check.
- `slack-conversation-lifecycle` read `item.issueId`, which does not
exist.
  - `email-channels` used a permission key that does not exist.
- `heartbeat-project-env` imported `LOW_TRUST_REVIEW_PRESET`, which is
not exported. The value was undefined.
- **Postgres processes that did not stop.** 11 test files called `stop`
on the test database helper. That method does not exist, and the helper
method is `cleanup`.
- **Arguments that the service ignored.**
- `methodKey` is now `connectionMethodKey` in the Daytona, Unikraft,
1Password, and Railway tests.
- 108 calls passed `"owner-user"` to a parameter that expects an options
object.
- 9 chat wizard fixtures passed `managementContext` as `source`, so they
ran `existing_app` and not `manifest`.
  - 2 tests passed a `{ userId }` actor that the function ignores.
- Inserts into `environments` passed a `companyId` column that the table
does not have.
- **Problems in tests that master added during this work.**
- `sandbox-creation-operations` read `database.connectionString` when an
external test database was set. In that mode `database` is undefined, so
the fixture would stop with a TypeError. It now uses the external URL.
- `idle-completed-history` set a Dot operation to `dispatched`. That is
a Muse status, and the Dot type does not have it. The fixture now uses
`admitted`, which is a real in-flight Dot status.

### Possible product problems, not changed

These may be real problems in production code or types. I did not change
them, because this pull request does not change production behavior:

- `decisions-service` `service.create` does not validate the lenient
`cancel_issue_tree` input.
- `createConnection` ignores `input.connectionPurpose`.
- The `createConnection` route schema default stores `{}` for
`transportConfig`.
- `prepareManagedAiRuntime` accepted the invalid value `mode:
"connection"`.
- `createBinding` accepts invalid `projectionClass` strings outside
class 3.
- `ensureManagedProjectWorkspace` forwards an untyped `repoRef` by
spread.
- `routineVariableSchema.label` is optional, but `RoutineVariable.label`
is required.
- `ToolRunContext.projectId` may be too strict.
- `withdrawInteraction` reads `issue.status`, which its type omits.
- `issueService.list` and `reconcileNativeFinalizations` omit fields
that they return at runtime.
- `createGitHubExternalObjectProvider` handles `tokenProvider: null`,
but its type forbids this value.

## What Changed

- Fixed the 2,168 type errors. The diff changes 322 test and helper
files.
- Corrected `server/src/__tests__/tsconfig.json`. Editors and the
typecheck now read the same options and report the same errors.
- Added three `test-tree` layers to
`server/scripts/typecheck-layers.mjs`. They read the server layers as
declarations, and any error fails them. A hash of the path selects the
shard, so a new file does not move other files.
- Added `server/scripts/typecheck-stubs/daytona-sdk.d.ts`. Server tests
reach Daytona plugin source, and the root install does not have
`@daytonaio/sdk`.
- Changed two imports in `ui/src/lib/issue-execution-policy.ts` to use
`.js` extensions, because server tests import this file.
- Made `declarationsConfig` and `--declarations-only` skip the
`test-tree` layers, because these layers emit nothing. Other projects
read only the source layers. Added a test for this.
- Updated `doc/DEVELOPING.md`.

## Verification

Run these commands:

```sh
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck
pnpm exec vitest run server/scripts/typecheck-layers.test.mjs
```

Results on macOS (arm64), Node 24, 16 cores. Each check ran after the
merge of paperclipai/paperclip#18738 unless the row says otherwise:

| Check | Commit | Result |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Server typecheck, `PAPERCLIP_TYPECHECK_LOW_MEMORY=1`, all 7 layers |
`6e45a08573` | Exit 0, 0 errors, 62 seconds, peak 3.52 GiB |
| `node scripts/typecheck-test-projects.mjs --low-memory` | `a3306bd13e`
| Exit 0, 0 errors, 42 seconds, peak 3.25 GiB |
| The same script with `--reuse-declarations` | `1b878aabc0` | Exit 0, 0
errors |
| `typecheck-layers.test.mjs` and `live-recovery-work.test.ts` |
`01db5634e4` | 90 passed. These include real compiler runs for a pass, a
type error, and an invalid tsconfig. |
| `tsconfig.declarations.json` after a full server typecheck |
`0fb1e4fb0a` | It references only `below`, `cycle`, and `above`. No
generated config names a `tsconfig.layers.json` file. |
| Owned runtime test in `idle-completed-history` | `e8f2f448ac` |
Passed, with the fix that master later replaced |
| `idle-incoming-wake`, `plugin-idle-manager`, and the changed
`chat-channels` test | `6e45a08573` | 30 passed |
| Runner `native-execution.test.ts` | `eab4dcc1f4` | 114 passed |
| The 19 server test files that changed since `eab4dcc1f4`, and
`typecheck-layers.test.mjs` | `259737b700` | 4,275 of 4,277 passed. The
2 failures are in `chat-channels` and are in the list of 7 below. |

The peak is the largest single process, from `/usr/bin/time -l`. Peaks
for the server typecheck were between 3.42 GiB and 3.56 GiB across 8
runs. Peaks for the test projects were 3.25 GiB and 3.37 GiB across 2
runs. I did not measure a cgroup.

**Runtime check of the fixes.** Types do not prove that a test still
works. So I ran all 309 changed server test files, 11,929 tests, before
the rebase onto paperclipai/paperclip#18737:

| Result | Tests | Detail |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Passed | 11,913 | Includes the 2 tests and the 54 `dot-runner` tests
that passed in a later run, as described below. |
| Failed | 7 | The same 7 tests also fail on the commit before the
fixes. |
| Skipped | 9 | These tests have their own skip conditions: `sentry` 5,
and 1 each in `bundled-plugin-registration`, `customer-success-cloud`,
`onepassword-connection`, and `workspace-runtime-https-live-exercise`. |

The 7 tests that fail with and without this change, on my machine:

- 3 tests in `chat-channels` and `email-channels` stop with `ENOENT` on
a `SKILL.md` file. The path is in the parent checkout, above the git
worktree that I used, so I expect that the worktree is the cause. I did
not prove this.
- `workspace-instance-cleanup` compares `/private/var/...` with
`/var/...`. This is a macOS symlink difference.
- 2 tests in `git-reproducible-managed-checkouts` get
`unknown_base_git_files` and expect `unpushed_managed_checkout`. I did
not find the cause.
- 1 more test in `chat-channels`, `materializes direct external-chat
finals once`, gets `undefined`. I did not find the cause.

CI is the check for these 7 tests. `ci / verify` passed on `eab4dcc1f4`.

Failures during this work:

- My fix to `agent-runtime-connector-access` changed an invalid
permission key in the setup, but not in the assertion. The runtime check
found this. I corrected the assertion, and the file passes.
- `heartbeat-plugin-environment` failed one wait in the full run. It
passed three times alone, so I think that load caused the failure. It
can fail again under load.
- `dot-runner` skipped all 54 tests in the full run because `cargo` was
not on my `PATH`. It then passed 54 of 54 with the toolchain on the
`PATH`.
- My first `lib` value removed the default DOM types, and the error
count went up by 375. I added the DOM libraries.
- My Daytona stub with bare `any` left 48 errors, because generic
helpers then inferred `unknown`. I added shapes that return promises.
- One fix to `agent-secrets-routes` used `class_3_static_lease`, and the
test failed. That class allows only specific paths. I reverted to
`unclassified`.
- `ci / General tests (server (8/12))` failed on `259737b700` because of
the flaky port in `idle-completed-history`. paperclipai/paperclip#18853
fixed this test on master, so this pull request keeps that fix.

**Audit of the diff.** I counted these patterns in added and removed
lines, to find fixes that only hide an error:

| Pattern | Added | Removed |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `@ts-ignore` | 0 | 0 |
| `@ts-expect-error` | 0 | 1 |
| `.skip` | 0 | 0 |
| `as any` | 9 | 9 |
| `: any` | 11 | 2 |
| `as never` | 8 | 2 |
| `as unknown as` | 35 | 4 |
| `Promise<unknown>` | 16 | 5 |
| `expect(` | 128 | 113 |

No hunk removes more `expect(` calls than it adds. Three removals of
test content were intentional, and I checked each one:

- `muse-control` removed `signalToken`. Line 1012 already asserts that
it is absent.
- `merged-pr-confirmation-sweep` removed legacy aliases. Other tests
cover them.
- `heartbeat-workspace-branch-containment` removed a `finalize` branch
that no test row can reach.

Some partial fixtures stay unchecked through `as unknown as` and
`Promise<unknown>`, mostly in `issue-agent-mutation-ownership-routes`
and `issue-comment-reopen-routes`.

**Accuracy of the check.** One program over the tree and the three
shards reported the same errors at the same positions. Memory, as the
peak of the largest process on one thread, was 3.93 GiB for one program
and 2.43 GiB for the largest shard. I measured these two values before
the fixes.

Not run or not proven:

- I did not run the full `pnpm test:run`, or a root `pnpm build`. I
expect CI to run the full suites.
- I did not run the 4 GiB container check, or the full
`scripts/typecheck-low-memory.mjs`. The peaks above come from macOS, so
they are not a Linux cgroup measurement.
- I did not run the UI typecheck after the merges.
- `workspace-runtime-https-live-exercise` is skipped, so its `cleanup`
fix did not run.

## Risks

- **A large diff in test files.** 328 files change. A pull request that
edits the same tests can get merge conflicts. New tests on master can
also add type errors before this merges. Any such error fails this check
and needs a fix here.
- **A higher cost for changes to source types.** A change to a type can
add errors in test files that the author did not touch. The author must
then fix them. This is the purpose of the check, but it is new work.
- **Changed test behavior.** Some tests now run paths that they did not
run before, such as the 9 chat wizard fixtures and the 3 span tests.
They pass here, but they can be more sensitive to timing or to the
environment.
- **The Daytona stub can go stale.** The stub is written by hand. If the
plugin uses a new SDK member, the typecheck reports an error until
someone updates the stub.
- **The release path.** `release-verify.yml` and `scripts/release.sh`
run `pnpm -r typecheck`, so they now run this check.
- **The tsconfig change.** The test transform reads
`server/src/__tests__/tsconfig.json`. The options that I changed are for
type checks, and the runs above passed.
- **A gap that remains.** Tsconfigs in `packages/paperclip-runner` and
in most sandbox provider plugins exclude `*.test.ts`. This check does
not read most of those test files, so they can still drift. That work is
separate from this pull request.

DottaandPaperclip a68f3d8e35 fix(runner-e2e): align Daytona image and provider pack provenance (#13814)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is an open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Daytona runner image provides the native runner and its provider
package.
> - The controller also sends a provider package to native Daytona cells
when the image package does not match.
> - A stale image and a package from another source revision caused a
1.8 GB upload before Claude could run.
> - This pull request refreshes the reviewed lock checksum and documents
how to reuse the exact package from an immutable image.
> - The benefit is a reproducible setup path and clear evidence when
image and package provenance do not match.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A Daytona native Claude run used image source revision
`45c99a0d06cbd5b04982b06b79de321149930ac5` with a controller provider
package from revision `294853dc...`. Runtime verification rejected the
image package and staged a large package upload before model execution.
A hosted campaign also failed during image setup because the Dockerfile
expected lock checksum `d7d96cf0...` while the resolved lockfile
checksum was
`4b796c312833ebf2be4c38228babc0292c76774fb40d43bd18b54bd6b205753d`.

Related public work reviewed:
[#12795](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/12795),
[#12862](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/12862), and
[#12887](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/12887).

**Expected behavior**

The Daytona image and controller provider package must come from the
same verified build. A package extracted from the immutable image must
pass the existing manifest, source revision, lockfile, binary, bridge,
and artifact checks before a native Claude run starts.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Set `PAPERCLIP_E2E_DAYTONA_IMAGE` to the old immutable image digest.
2. Set `PAPERCLIP_RUNNER_REMOTE_PROVIDER_PACK_PATH` to a package built
from a different source revision.
3. Run a native Claude Daytona cell.
4. Observe provider package verification failure followed by the large
staging upload.
5. Build the image with the stale Dockerfile lock checksum and observe
the checksum failure.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`3b8df3dcd6f99e99277faa45f3351989edb5c239`.

**Deployment mode**

Daytona native runner E2E.

**Install method**

Built from source.

**Agent adapter(s) involved**

Claude Code through the native ACPX runner.

**Database mode**

Not database-related.

**Access context**

Not applicable to the setup failure.

## What Changed

- Refreshed `PAPERCLIP_RUNNER_LOCK_SHA256` in
`docker/daytona-runner/Dockerfile` to the resolved lockfile checksum.
- Added a local guide for extracting the provider package from an
immutable verified image with Docker.
- Documented the required provenance checks and the expected
manifest-matched runtime log.
- Documented that cold package upload coverage must remain separate from
recovery coverage.
- Pinned the preview-service test guest to the test runner’s Node
executable and logged guest startup and bound ports for readiness
diagnostics.

## Verification

- 442 focused E2E tests passed.
- Typecheck passed.
- `pnpm build` passed.
- Five provider-pack reuse tests passed.
- Six Daytona image contract tests passed.
- Fixed Daytona campaign
[35740613581](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35740613581)
passed.
- The overall hiring campaign
[35739993219](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35739993219)
failed because of an unrelated Mini metadata failure; its Claude cell
passed.
- Full local `pnpm test:run` was attempted but did not complete. The
isolated Postgres install was repaired and its 15-test probe passed.
- After the fixture change, all seven preview reservation tests passed
locally and CI server shard 6/12 passed on `20234f75f`. This removes
login-shell Node resolution variance; the exact cause of the earlier
CI-only timeout is not established.
- CI run
[35766034635](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35766034635)
passed on `20234f75f`. All server, runner, browser, build, and typecheck
gates passed.
- The signoff browser case initially failed waiting for an approver run.
All five signoff tests passed locally without changes; the one allowed
CI retry passed all 19 shard tests. This is recorded as an intermittent
failure, not a demonstrated product fix.
- Greptile reviewed `20234f75f`: 5/5, no actionable findings.
- [Follow-up
report](https://pages.paperclip.ing/runner-daytona-hiring-20260922/)
includes timings, evidence links, and the remaining hiring configuration
failure.
- Review the immutable image source revision and extracted
`provider-pack.json` before another paid recovery run.

## Risks

- The Dockerfile checksum gate intentionally fails when the resolved
lockfile changes. A future dependency change must refresh the reviewed
checksum with the image change.
- The local extraction guide requires Docker and a pullable immutable
image.
- An image built from an older source revision can still fail runtime
manifest verification. The guide does not bypass that check.
- The change does not alter runner prompts, approval policy, or recovery
behavior.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex using the primary GPT-6 backend; the exact backend
deployment ID is not exposed. Repository analysis and code execution
used tool access. Assistance also came from OpenAI gpt-5.6-luna.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip b872cd3d1b test(server): select exposure reservation host ports at run time (#12783)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server manages runtime exposure and host port leases for
workspace services
> - This test suite used fixed host port pairs inside the Linux
ephemeral port range
> - An unrelated short-lived socket could take one pair and cause a
false test failure
> - This pull request selects free host port pairs at run time and
starts above the low lease lane
> - The benefit is a more stable test suite with the same deterministic
allocator checks

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The runtime exposure reservation test suite used two fixed app and HMR
port pairs. These ports sit inside the Linux ephemeral port range. An
unrelated socket could use a pair during the test, and the guest bind
could fail with `EADDRINUSE`.

**Expected behavior**

The suite must select two free app and HMR port pairs before each test.
It must avoid the low lease lane that a live instance can own without a
listener.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run `npx vitest run
server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime-exposure-reservation.test.ts`.
2. Start another process that briefly uses one fixed test port.
3. Observe that the guest bind can fail even when the allocator works
correctly.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`c982003e00f4e8a325bafec3af4ddb113c0c1f8a`

**Deployment mode**

Local dev test run.

**Installation method**

Built from source with pnpm.

**Agent adapter(s) involved**

Not adapter-specific. This change tests the runtime exposure allocator.

**Database mode**

Not database-related.

## What Changed

- Select two free app and HMR port pairs in `beforeEach`.
- Start the scan 500 ports above the runtime exposure range minimum.
- Keep the synthetic host stub limited to the selected pairs.
- Keep all seven test cases and the existing lifecycle coverage.

## Verification

- Run `npx vitest run
server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime-exposure-reservation.test.ts`.
- Run `npx vitest run
server/src/services/workspace-runtime-exposure.test.ts`.
- Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsc --noEmit`.
- Confirm the full CI suite reaches a terminal green state.

## Risks

Low risk. This change updates one test file and does not change
production code. A port can still become busy after discovery and before
the guest bind; the test documents this remaining race.

## Model Used

Dotta 1a17cbf232 fix(runtime-exposure): mediate leased app/HMR port pairs centrally (#11526)
<!-- Simplified Technical English (ASD-STE100). -->

> **Stacked pull request.** This targets #11525, which targets #11524.
Merge those first. Review only the last commit, `fix(runtime-exposure):
mediate leased app/HMR port pairs centrally`.

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Paperclip starts managed runtime services for execution workspaces,
and #11524 and #11525 make those services reachable over Tailscale HTTPS
on a loopback port pair
> - An HTTPS lane is only safe if one execution workspace holds its port
pair exclusively for the whole life of the lane
> - A managed start reused a pair that a stopped but still leased
workspace owned. Paperclip reported that workspace stopped and its
exposure removed, while the host listeners and the Serve mappings for
those ports were live and belonged to an unrelated workspace
> - The cause is that ownership was decided in more than one place, and
no single place saw persisted reservations, live listeners, and Serve
mappings together
> - This pull request adds one mediator that owns the decision, and
makes every mismatch fail closed while naming the conflicting workspace
> - The benefit is that a later start cannot collide with, adopt, or
interfere with another issue's service, and cannot produce security
evidence attributed to the wrong workspace

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists. The change follows the bug report
template.

**What happened**

A managed HTTPS start reused the loopback port pair of a stopped but
still exclusively leased execution workspace. The ports were then held
by an unrelated workspace. Paperclip continued to report the first
workspace's runtime as stopped and its exposure as removed, while the
host listeners and the `tailscale serve` mappings for those exact ports
were live and owned by the other workspace.

**Expected behavior**

An active execution-workspace lease reserves its app and HMR pair until
the lease is explicitly released or torn down. A start that finds the
pair held by a different workspace fails closed and names the conflict.
Paperclip never adopts a process or a Serve mapping across
execution-workspace ids.

**Root cause**

Three separate readers each had an incomplete view:

- `deprovisionExposure` replaces the exposure status with a fresh
`removed` status whose `listeners` array is empty. A later reader asking
"which ports did this row own?" gets no answer, so a stopped row's pair
looked free even while the row was leased.
- Startup reconciliation adopted a persisted service by `row.port`
alone, then terminated the local service when its health check failed.
Under the `project_primary` strategy, where workspaces share a working
directory, the containment check cannot separate two workspaces, so the
sweep could adopt and then kill an unrelated workspace's live service.
- Allocation checked live port availability but never checked which
pairs active leases still reserve.

**Impact**

Two workspaces can collide on one lane. A start can adopt or interfere
with another issue's service, and evidence about an exposure can be
attributed to the wrong workspace.

## What Changed

- Add `server/src/services/runtime-exposure/port-reservation.ts`, one
mediator that decides allocation and ownership from persisted
reservations plus live listener and Serve ownership together.
- Reserve a pair for as long as its execution workspace holds an active
lease, until the lease is explicitly released or torn down.
- Re-derive a row's pair from the `port` column and `deriveViteHmrPort`
instead of the status `listeners` array, so a `removed` status no longer
hides which ports a leased row still reserves.
- Refuse to adopt a process or a Serve mapping across
execution-workspace ids. A mismatch fails closed and names the
conflicting workspace and issue.
- Treat an unattributable holder as a conflict. A Serve mapping that is
present but cannot be attributed means the host has something there that
could not be named, so it fails closed instead of falling through to
"allowed".
- Make reconciliation surface a stopped or removed row whose reserved
ports are live or mapped by another workspace, instead of reporting
success.
- Leave manual and unknown Serve mappings alone on release and teardown.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run --root server src/services/runtime-exposure/
src/__tests__/workspace-runtime-exposure-reservation.test.ts
src/services/workspace-runtime-exposure-backfill.test.ts` — 8 files,
**112 tests pass**.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json` — **0 errors** with
`@paperclipai/plugin-sdk` built.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db typecheck` — migration numbering and
safety checks pass.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/tailscale-https-broker test` — 87 tests
pass.

The five required regressions are covered by
`workspace-runtime-exposure-reservation.test.ts` and
`port-reservation.test.ts`:

1. Reuse of a stopped-but-leased pair is denied.
2. Cross-execution-workspace process adoption is denied.
3. A Serve mapping ownership mismatch is visible and fails closed.
4. Concurrent allocators return unique pairs.
5. Release and teardown make the pair reusable without harming manual or
unknown mappings.

Note for reviewers:
`server/src/services/workspace-runtime-exposure.test.ts` fails on a
development host that already runs an HTTPS canary holding ports 42000,
42001, 52000, and 52001, because that fixture stubs port availability
and then allocates into the occupied range. It is unaffected by this
change and is expected to pass in CI, where no such listener exists.
Please read the CI result rather than a local run on an exposing host.

## Risks

- The mediator is now the single decision point for allocation and
adoption, so a defect in it affects every managed start. This is
deliberate: the incident happened because the decision was spread across
three readers, and concentrating it is the fix.
- Behavior becomes stricter. A start that previously reused a pair now
fails closed with a named conflict. This is the intended change, and it
can surface pre-existing collisions that used to pass silently.
- The remediation path does not stop an unrelated service that already
holds a pair. It reports the conflict instead, so it cannot disturb
another issue's running lane.
- No migration runs in this pull request.
