DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 c6996799c4 feat(task-chat): show an inline diff for every file edit (#19269)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The task chat shows what an agent did during a run, including each
tool call
> - Codex and Claude both report the patch for every file edit, but
Paperclip dropped it. Claude's ACP `diff` content was never read. The
Codex `fileChange` item became a generic item with no patch. Codex
`turn/diff/updated` had no native-runner mapping
> - A reviewer could not see what an agent changed without opening the
workspace
> - This pull request carries a bounded patch on each edit call and
shows it in the edit row. Each turn that changed files ends with a
"Changed in this turn" card
> - The benefit is that a reviewer can check every change in the
conversation, with the same view for Codex and Claude

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19252 (precedent: canonical `plan.updated` events as a docked plan
card).

**Subsystem affected**
Paperclip runner (Rust and TypeScript canonical event mapping), PRP
provider-event schema, and the task-chat UI.

**Problem or motivation**
Edit rows say "Edited a file" with no content. Claude Edit/Write `diff`
content is lost after the ACPX sidecar. The Codex native runner drops
`fileChange.changes` and `turn/diff/updated`. The existing
workspace-changes card showed a raw text patch in a dialog, and only on
the in-process Codex path.

**Proposed solution**
Add an optional, bounded `fileChanges` list to
`paperclip.tool.execution.v1`. Fill it from Codex `fileChange` items and
Claude ACP `diff` content. Map Codex `turn/diff/updated` to
`workspace.change.updated` on the native runner. In the UI, show `+N −M`
on each edit row, open a compact colored diff, and end the turn with the
change set.

**Alternatives considered**
A runner-side git diff at turn end. It needs workspace access and extra
cost on every turn. The harness patches are already available. For
Claude, the UI builds the turn card from the edit rows instead of new
per-turn runner state.

## What Changed

- Protocol: optional `fileChanges[]` on `toolExecution` in
`provider-event.schema.json`, with the regenerated schema bundle,
validators and manifest. Paths are workspace-relative. A patch is at
most 32 KiB, and a call has at most 32 files.
- Runner (Rust): new `tool_file_changes.rs`. A Codex `fileChange` item
now also emits `tool.execution.*` with `fileChanges`; the native item
event stays for the recovery and progress projections.
`turn/diff/updated` becomes `workspace.change.updated`.
`normalize_acpx_tool_call` re-validates the sidecar's `fileChanges`.
`normalize_codex_notification_in` resolves absolute paths against the
session cwd.
- Runner (Rust): `has_bounded_rich_display_shape` accepts schema-valid
workspace diffs. Without this change, durable storage cut each patch
string to a 4 KiB preview. Patches use the uncapped secret redactor.
- Runner (TS): new `tool-file-changes.ts`. The ACPX sidecar computes
`fileChanges` from ACP `diff` content with the working directory. The
in-process Codex and ACPX mappers do the same, with an optional
`context` argument.
- UI: new `TaskChatDiffView` (colored rows, hunk labels, a height cap,
"Show N more lines"). Edit rows show counts and the diff. Collapsed
activity groups show edit totals. The workspace card is now "Changed in
this turn", with in-place per-file diffs, and it sits at the end of the
turn. When a harness sends no whole-turn diff (Claude), the card is
built from the edit rows. A change set is marked complete when its run
ends.
- UI: `native-run-events.ts` maps `workspace.change.updated` and
attaches each edit's latest patch to its row (the `diff` transcript
entries now carry `toolUseId`).
- Design tokens: `--diff-add-*`, `--diff-remove-*` and
`--sz-edit-diff-max-h` come from the status icon hues.
- Storybook: `Tasks/Edit diffs` story. Docs: `doc/run-log-events.md`.

## Verification

- Real runs on a local instance (`test-drive`, native runner):
- Codex (`gpt-5.6-sol`): the "Applied a patch" rows show `+9` and `+35
−2` with their diffs. The turn ends with "Changed in this turn", 2
files, `+42`, from `turn/diff/updated`.
- Claude (`claude-opus-5-5` via ACPX): the Write and Edit rows show
`+5`, `+14 −1` and `+9` with correct hunks. The turn card is built from
the edit rows.
- Codex model note: with `gpt-5.4`, pinned Codex 0.160 reports "model
metadata not found". The model then wrote files through the shell, so no
`fileChange` items occurred.
- `pnpm check:token-gates`: all gates clean.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/components/task-chat src/components/transcript src/adapters`: 1073
passed.
- `packages/paperclip-runner`: `vitest run src/provider-events.test.ts
src/tool-file-changes.test.ts src/cli/acpx-runtime-sidecar.test.ts`
passed. `check:protocol-types` and `check:protocol-manifest` match.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --lib provider_events
tool_file_changes`: passed. `cargo fmt --check`: clean.
- Storybook: open `Tasks and conversations/…/Tasks/Edit diffs`.

## Risks

- Larger payloads: an edit call can carry up to 96 KiB of patch in Rust,
and the sidecar keeps 48 KiB under its 128 KiB frame. Above the budget,
a file keeps its counts and drops its patch (`diffTruncated`).
- Redaction: each patch goes through the shared secret redactor. Before
this change, a 4 KiB preview cap also applied.
- Claude turn card: it joins each edit's patch in order. It is not a net
diff. For a file the turn created, the counts are net and exact. For an
existing file, the counts are summed over its edits.
- The workspace card moves to the end of the turn. One adapter test
changed to match.
- Local only: four Linux cgroup `task_memory` Rust tests fail on macOS.
They do not touch these modules.

## Model Used

Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), via Claude Code with tool use
(shell, browser and file editing) and a long context window.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 6293e581f6 fix(recovery): resume cancelled workspace retries from verified waits (#19276)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A shared workspace can make a run wait before it calls a provider.
> - The scheduler saves a retry for that wait.
> - The control plane can cancel the retry while it is still queued.
> - Recovery then asks for a process stop receipt for a run that never
claimed execution.
> - This pull request verifies the retry and its exact workspace-wait
parent before it accepts a later user instruction.
> - The benefit is that Retry and saved messages can continue through
normal admission without replaying old work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13640 and #15483. Related fixes: #18838 covers dispatcher
cancellation codes; this change covers a system-cancelled scheduled
workspace retry. Related open PR #15383 covers claimed
conversation-adapter preparation. This change requires an unclaimed
retry with no run profile or owner.

**What happened?**
A scheduled workspace retry was cancelled before runtime selection. The
run retained an expected system cancellation and a
`startupCancellation.beforeNativeSelection: false` marker. It had no
start timestamp, execution stage, run profile, controller, process,
lease or provider events. Recovery recorded an unknown-action hold. A
later user message and Retry could not pass that hold.

**Expected behavior**
A later authorized instruction can start a fresh turn when the saved
retry and its exact parent prove that no provider work started. Missing
or conflicting evidence must retain the hold.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Record a terminal workspace wait before provider dispatch, with
`executionRecovery.kind: workspace_wait` and `providerWorkStarted:
false`.
2. Save a scheduled retry for that same company, task and agent.
3. Cancel the retry through the control plane before it claims
execution.
4. Send a new user message or request Retry after the cancellation.
5. On the base commit, admission returns no continuation. With this
change, normal admission creates one fresh successor.

**Paperclip version or commit**
Reproduced in source based on master at
`499712c68b3ca95801b6114d5f2f0f0ea6759318`.

**Deployment mode**
Source checkout with isolated embedded PostgreSQL. Hosted rollout and a
real provider run remain to be verified after merge.

## What Changed

- Extend the existing cancelled-startup proof with one source-bound
workspace-retry case. Require the canonical retry parent and reason to
match the saved context.
- Verify the parent's company, task, agent, time order, immutable Runner
claim and typed workspace-wait record. Reject runtime, process, lease,
coordinator, result and output evidence on either run.
- Keep validation of the full saved result in the database predicate.
The bounded execution projection can add empty receipt fields without
changing eligibility.
- Reuse the existing admission, Retry and deferred-message paths.
Preserve cancelled history and unknown action outcomes. Keep permission,
Stop, budget and recovery-limit gates.
- Add 23 regression cases, including heartbeat message and Retry
admission, concurrent saved-message recovery, and 19
conflicting-evidence cases. Document the contract.

The cancelled-startup service owns this proof. No provider protocol,
schema, UI or shared contract changes. Reads use exact run IDs and
return only narrow metadata. The new reads occur only for a cancelled,
unstarted Runner retry candidate.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/services/explicit-native-continuation.test.ts
src/services/legacy-execution-recovery.test.ts
src/services/execution-blocker-read.test.ts
src/services/task-retry.test.ts` — 452 passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm build` — passed.
- `node scripts/check-module-boundaries.mjs` and `git diff --check` —
passed.
- Local diff review and secret/private-context scan — passed. Test
identities are synthetic.
- Regression history: the original positive case failed on unchanged
source while 11 negative guards passed. Initial test fixtures then
exposed ownership/contract constraints and a missing saved-wake
envelope; the fixtures now use valid persisted shapes. The heartbeat
Retry test exposed extra keys in the bounded evidence projection.
Full-record validation now runs in SQL, and both assembled heartbeat
paths pass. The unknown action outcome stays unchanged.
- Platform: macOS arm64, Node 25.6.1, pnpm 9.15.4. Tests use real
isolated PostgreSQL. They stop at admission and do not call a live
provider.
- Exact-head GitHub CI: 54 successful checks, 3 skipped, no unfinished
or failed checks. Greptile scored
`cfbf55cea68e3c69f65f50afcba98f775fa6fa3d` 5/5, with no actionable
findings and no review threads.
- The full repository `pnpm test:run` was not run locally. A previous
full run in this repair effort stalled and was stopped after 2h45. The
four complete affected suites pass; full PR CI must pass before merge.

## Risks

- False admission could allow work before a predecessor is safe. The
proof fails closed on missing parent records, different ownership, a
changed retry binding, later parent completion, restore obligations, any
execution resource, or any provider/output evidence.
- This deliberately covers only system-cancelled, unclaimed workspace
retries. Other cancellations retain their current reconciliation path.
It does not grant automatic replay, certify unknown external writes, or
reset exhausted recovery limits.
- No migration. Verify the serving version and an existing saved-message
continuation after deployment.

## Model Used

- OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol`, xhigh reasoning, through the Codex harness in T3
Code. Used code editing, shell tools and test execution. The harness
does not expose its context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 499712c68b fix(runner): restore cold state before inspecting completed handoffs (#19254)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native Runner saves provider sessions and controller state across
turns.
> - A completed warm handoff leaves a receipt in the controller journal.
> - A later cold continuation must restore external Runner state before
it can inspect that receipt.
> - The transport read the missing physical file before it called the
restore hook.
> - This pull request prepares admitted external state before that
inspection for completed handoffs.
> - Live Runner adoption and pending transitions retain their existing
ownership checks. The provider thread can continue after a cold restore.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #19225 and #19157. This fix changes the shared transport read
order. It does not depend on the open source-reconciliation extension in
#19157.

**What happened?**

A cold continuation after a completed warm handoff could fail with
`runner_remote_state_unavailable`. The saved controller journal was
valid. The physical Runner state was absent because its restore hook had
not run yet. A later automatic reattachment could then fail an
allocation identity check.

**Expected behavior**

Restore admitted external state before inspecting a completed handoff.
Retain the original provider thread. Refuse a denied restore or foreign
session without starting provider work.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Open a Codex session and complete a warm handoff to a second run.
2. Suspend the session and retain the controller journal and provider
backup.
3. Start a third run with no physical Runner state until the external
preparation hook restores it.
4. Read the retained thread. Before this fix, the read fails before
preparation.

## What Changed

- Prepare external Runner state before inspecting a completed
warm-handoff receipt.
- Keep live Runner adoption, pending attachments, and active warm
transitions on the existing exact-state path.
- Add a real Runner and controlled Codex regression for successful
restore, denied restoration, and a foreign restored session.
- Document the cold-continuation order in the execution contract.

## Verification

- Red: the new real-process regression fails on unpatched source because
resume reads the absent `runner-state.json` before preparation.
- Green: all three new cases pass. The restored thread keeps its
identity. The controlled provider starts one thread and resumes it once.
No turn is replayed.
- Adjacent safety suites: 60 cases passed across warm attachment,
interrupted attachment recovery, suspension, and cold restore. The new
foreign-session case also passes separately.
- Runner TypeScript and generated protocol checks passed.
- Full workspace typecheck and build passed. Runner TypeScript checks
passed again after the live-adoption guard. The full local test command
remains in progress; all required CI test jobs passed on the current
head.
- The first CI run found two live-adoption regressions: an already
completed staged handoff must not restore a backup while its Runner is
live. The guard now excludes live adoption. All six cases across cold
restore and staged handoff pass locally. The original CI failure remains
recorded in run 42047027346.
- Greptile reviewed the corrected head
`f33a041c8902c39ca52b995d53128fc23b0b5499` at 5/5. There are no review
threads or findings. All current-head CI gates passed.
- Live staging verification remains pending normal deployment. No pinned
serving image or bulk migration is part of this PR.

## Risks

The change calls an existing external preparation hook earlier for
completed handoffs. That hook must remain idempotent and must enforce
restore authority. Live adoption, pending attachments, and active
transitions do not gain this earlier call. The negative regressions
assert that a refused restore and a foreign session start no provider
work and do not change the authority journal.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, tool use, and code
execution. The host does not expose the exact serving model ID or
context-window size.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 e37ab23dbc fix: hold an agent's new work while its provider usage limit is active (#19246)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Routine-driven agents run on the native Runner through ACP harnesses
such as Claude
> - When the agent's provider account runs out of allowance, every new
wake for that agent fails the same way
> - The ACP harness reported the exhausted allowance as a generic
"terminal limit failure" with an `unknown` category, so Paperclip could
not tell it from a context or turn limit
> - Paperclip recorded a reset time only for the failing run's own
startup retry; other wakes of the same agent kept dispatching, each
spent about two minutes on workspace setup, and then failed
> - This pull request classifies the limit, keeps its reset time, and
holds the agent's new work until that reset
> - The benefit is that a limited agent stops burning runs, shows a
clear "waiting for usage limit reset" state with a time, and resumes its
queued work after the reset

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13148
Refs #13379

**What happened?**
A routine-driven Claude agent on the native Runner failed 29 times in
about 15 hours. 20 runs failed with `native_provider_terminal_failed`
and "ACP agent reported a terminal limit failure." The recorded provider
failure had category `unknown`. 6 runs failed with
`provider_session_open_rejected`. Their `session.open` result is
`command_execution_failed` with classification `provider_rate_limit`,
and the provider failure is HTTP 429 `rate_limit` ("would exceed your
account's rate limit"). The startup retry of one such run recorded a
cooldown until one hour later. A new wake for a different task of the
same agent dispatched 16 minutes later, spent two minutes on workspace
setup, and failed with the same 429. Separately, 4 runs failed with
"Project authentication conflicts with this agent's managed AI
connection". That message did not say which file or setting conflicted.
The same message was also shown when the check could not finish.

**What did you expect?**
A provider usage limit is classified distinctly. Paperclip records the
reset time when the provider reports one. New work for that agent waits
for the reset with a visible reason. Queued work resumes after the
reset, and no doomed run starts. A configuration conflict is reported
only when one is found, and the message names the file to fix.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Use a native Runner agent with a Claude ACP harness whose account is
rate limited or out of usage.
2. Let a routine or assignment wake the agent on several tasks.
3. See each run fail with a generic terminal limit failure or a
`session.open` rejection, and see new runs keep starting.

## What Changed

- Runner: The ACPX turn now receives the typed AIR session failure
(`onTerminalSessionFailure`) through the runtime host and the ACPX port.
The sidecar adds the provider's title to the provider failure message.
Only a rate-limit or quota title becomes `rate_limit` or
`quota_exhausted`. Context, turn and configured budget limits stay
`unknown`. The failure details stay private.
- Server: A native `turn.failed` with a `rate_limit` or
`quota_exhausted` provider failure is now `native_provider_usage_limit`,
the same code as the Codex usage-limit terminal.
- Server: `agentProviderLimitCooldown` (extracted from the startup
retry) also reads a reset clock in the provider's wording, such as
"resets 2am (UTC)". The clock parser moved from the recovery service to
`provider-quota-reset.ts` without changes.
- Server: New `heartbeat/provider-limit-wait.ts`. Before any workspace
or provider work, a queued run for an agent with an active provider
limit is cancelled as `provider_limit_wait`. The run records the reset
time, whether the provider reported it, the category and the run that
reported the limit. Paperclip schedules one retry of the same wake at
the reset through the existing AI connection wait lane. That lane does
not consume the failure retry budget. Manual runs, recovering runs,
conversation turns and pool-routed connections are not held.
- Server: The execution projection shows "Waiting for usage limit reset"
with the reset time and the next step.
- Server: Only a found project authentication conflict is a
configuration failure. Its message names the project file and the
settings to remove. A check that cannot finish (timeout or another exit
code) is now an ordinary failure, not a configuration conflict.
- Docs: `doc/execution-semantics.md` describes the agent-level limit
wait.

## Verification

Red before the fix, green after:
- `server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-provider-limit-wait.test.ts`: An
automation wake after a 429 `session.open` rejection dispatched the
adapter before the fix. Now the run is cancelled as
`provider_limit_wait` and a scheduled retry exists at the reset. After
the reset passes, the retry is promoted and the work succeeds. A manual
run, a later success, expired evidence and an unclassified terminal
still dispatch.
- `native-startup-retry.integration.test.ts`: "reads the reset clock
from an ACP terminal limit failure's provider wording" (it fell back to
one hour before).
- `native-session-executor.test.ts`: An ACP `turn.failed` with a typed
`quota_exhausted` or `rate_limit` failure is a usage-limit terminal;
`unknown` is not.
- `packages/paperclip-runner/src/drivers/provider-failure.test.ts`: A
typed AIR limit title is kept and classified; context, turn and budget
limits are not; details do not leak.
- `execution-projection.test.ts`, `ai-connections.test.ts`: The wait
label, and conflict versus unfinished check.
- Safety cases: `runtime-host.test.ts` and
`codex-runtime-adapter.test.ts` forward the callback. The existing
startup retry, provider capacity, recovery classification, legacy
reconciliation, retry scheduling and execution configuration suites
pass.

Commands:
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-provider-limit-wait.test.ts
src/__tests__/ai-connections.test.ts src/services/native-runtime/
src/services/recovery/ src/services/execution-projection.test.ts
src/services/legacy-execution-recovery.test.ts
src/__tests__/heartbeat-retry-scheduling.test.ts
src/__tests__/heartbeat-execution-configuration.test.ts`
- `cd packages/paperclip-runner && npx vitest run
src/drivers/provider-failure.test.ts
src/drivers/acpx/runtime-host.test.ts
src/drivers/acpx/codex-runtime-adapter.test.ts
src/cli/acpx-runtime-sidecar.test.ts`
- `tsc --noEmit` for server and paperclip-runner; the ACPX sidecar and
provider-failure contract checks pass.

I did not run a live provider limit on staging. The live evidence is the
staging run records for the affected agent, which I read only.

## Risks

- The limit evidence is per agent, not per account. If the board changes
the agent's AI connection, automatic wakes can still wait until the old
reset (at most one hour when no reset was reported, and at most one
day). A manual run is not held, and one successful run clears the
evidence.
- A new wake that arrives during a limit is now cancelled and retried at
the reset, instead of failing. The task stays in its status, and the run
shows the reset time.
- The Runner change takes effect when the provider pack is rebuilt and
deployed. Until then, the server still holds new work using the existing
`rate_limit` evidence from `session.open` rejections.
- A turn terminal with a typed rate limit or quota is now
`native_provider_usage_limit` instead of
`native_provider_terminal_failed`. Both are terminal and board-owned.
The recovery text now asks the board to restore provider usage capacity.

records) and extended reasoning.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 d0afeacdd5 fix(remote-workspaces): keep retained runner state when replacing a retired root (#19251)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Remote workspaces save a task's files as snapshots. Runtime state
under `.paperclip-runtime` is never in a snapshot, because it belongs to
the sandbox
> - #19231 lets a parent task on a retained sandbox restore newer child
work over its own retired workspace root
> - That replace removed the whole retired root, including the parent's
retained runner session state under
`.paperclip-runtime/paperclip-runner/`
> - The parent's native continuation then reads that runner state on the
resumed sandbox, cannot find it, and fails with
`runner_remote_state_unavailable`
> - This pull request moves the retired root's runtime state into the
restored root before it removes the retired root
> - The benefit is that delegating parents on retained sandboxes
continue their session with the children's saved work

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19231

**What happened?**

After #19231, a parent task on an agent with a retained sandbox
delegates two subtasks. Both subtasks finish. The parent's wake run now
restores the newer saved work successfully, but the run fails right
after with `runner_remote_state_unavailable: exit=1 timedOut=false`. The
run error code is `native_continuation_requires_reconciliation` and the
task becomes `blocked`. In one staging wave, 4 of 4 such parents failed.

Root cause: the native continuation on a resumed sandbox reads
`<remoteCwd>/.paperclip-runtime/paperclip-runner/sessions/<session>/runner/runner-state.json`.
Snapshots exclude `.paperclip-runtime`, so the restored root has only
the new restore receipt. #19231 parked the retired root and then removed
it, so the runner state was removed too.

**Expected behavior**

The restored root has the newest saved files and the sandbox's retained
runtime state. The parent's continuation reads its runner state and
continues.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Prepare a remote workspace on sandbox A. Write files and runner state
under `.paperclip-runtime/paperclip-runner/`. Save.
2. Make a second run the writer on sandbox B. It restores, writes new
files, and saves.
3. Make a third run the writer on sandbox A again and prepare. The
restore replaces the retired root.
4. Read the runner state with `readRemoteRunnerState`. Before this
change, it fails with `runner_remote_state_unavailable: exit=1
timedOut=false`.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `26391707fb`, which includes #19231.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/remote-workspace-transport.ts`: before it removes
the retired root, the restore script moves each entry of the retired
`.paperclip-runtime` into the restored root's `.paperclip-runtime`. It
does not move `workspace-ready.json`, `workspace-restored.json`, or
`workspace-snapshots`, and it does not replace an entry that already
exists. The move is a rename, so it keeps sockets and large session
state. The script also finishes an interrupted carry when the same
restore repeats. Only an authorized replace with that restore identity
creates the `<root>.retired-<identity>` path.
- `server/src/services/remote-workspaces.integration.test.ts`: the
retained-sandbox regression now writes parent runner state, restores
newer child work, and reads the state with the same
`readRemoteRunnerState` call that the continuation uses. It also covers
an interrupted carry on a repeated restore.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: document that runtime state moves with
the restored root.

## Verification

- Red before the fix: `npx vitest run
src/services/remote-workspaces.integration.test.ts -t "retired root"`
failed in the `own retired root`, `own restored root`, and `read-only
folder` cases with `Error: runner_remote_state_unavailable: exit=1
timedOut=false`. This is the same error as the staging failure.
- Green after the fix: all nine cases pass. The continuation read
returns the parent's runner state. The old `workspace-ready.json` is
gone and the new restore receipt is present. A repeated restore finishes
an interrupted carry and removes the retired root and its stale files.
- `npx vitest run src/services/remote-workspaces.integration.test.ts
src/services/remote-workspace-transport.test.ts
src/services/heartbeat/run-completion.test.ts`: 250 passed.
- Staging evidence (read-only): the failed parent wake run recorded a
succeeded `remote_workspace_restore` at the parent's own provider lease,
and then failed in the runner-state read.
- I did not run a live staging run. This PR does not deploy.

## Risks

- Runtime state from the retired root now persists into the restored
root. The state is the sandbox's own state for this workspace path,
which is the same state that a same-allocation reuse keeps.
- If the restored root already has an entry with the same name, the old
entry is not moved and is removed with the retired root.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic. It used tool use for
code search, shell, test runs, and read-only staging inspection in the
browser.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 21640b6d51 feat(connections): gate the built-in Google Workspace connector behind an experimental toggle (#19247)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Apps catalog lets operators connect external tools, including
Google services.
> - Paperclip has a built-in Google Workspace connector, but Google has
not yet verified Paperclip's Google app.
> - The built-in connector also hides the Composio and Arcade Google
apps, because native Google definitions claim those app names.
> - Users therefore see an unverified connector and cannot find the
working aggregator Google apps.
> - This pull request puts the built-in connector behind a default-off
experimental setting. When the setting is off, the aggregator Google
apps appear.
> - The benefit is that users get working Google connectors now, and the
team can still test the built-in connector on demand.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Problem**
Google has not verified Paperclip's Google app yet. The Apps page still
offers the built-in Google Workspace connector. The built-in Google
definitions also suppress the Composio and Arcade Google apps (Gmail,
Google Calendar, Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Chat), so users
cannot find them.

**Proposed solution**
Add the `enableGoogleWorkspaceConnector` experimental setting. The
default is off. When it is off, hide and block the built-in connector,
and show the aggregator Google apps. When it is on, keep the current
behavior.

**Alternatives considered**
Delete the built-in connector until verification is complete. We
rejected this option because the team must continue to test the
connector.

**Additional context**
Composio documents Gmail (63 tools), Google Calendar (50 tools), and
Google Drive toolkits that use Composio-managed OAuth. These toolkits do
not need Paperclip's Google app verification.

## What Changed

- Added the default-off `enableGoogleWorkspaceConnector` experimental
setting to the shared types, validator, feature catalog, server
defaults, and the managed-key list for Paperclip Cloud staging.
- Added `experimentalFeatureKey: "enableGoogleWorkspaceConnector"` to
the `google-workspace` app definition. The existing generic connector
gate then hides the connector in the gallery and blocks its setup,
discovery, execution, and agent suggestions when the setting is off.
- Added a "Google Workspace connector (Paperclip)" toggle card to
**Settings → Experimental**.
- Apps page (`Browse.tsx`): when the setting is off, built-in Google
rows without saved accounts no longer claim aggregator app identities.
The Composio and Arcade Google apps then show as aggregator rows. The
legacy Google slug filter now applies only to native rows, so the
Composio `gmail` row is not dropped.
- Saved per-service Google connections (Gmail, Drive, and others) are
not gated. They stay visible and usable.
- Updated `doc/connections/GOOGLE-WORKSPACE.md`.
- Tests: added tests for the hidden and visible Apps page states, the
settings toggle, and the definition gate. Existing built-in Google
Workspace tests now enable the setting.

## Verification

- `cd packages/shared && npx vitest run` passes (1055 tests).
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/connection-management.integration.test.ts
src/__tests__/tool-access-service.test.ts
src/__tests__/tool-gateway-service.test.ts
src/services/gmail-tool-governance.test.ts
src/services/google-chat-tool-policy.test.ts
src/__tests__/instance-settings-service.test.ts
src/__tests__/health.test.ts
src/__tests__/instance-settings-managed-overlay.test.ts` passes (864
tests).
- `cd ui && npx vitest run src/pages/apps
src/pages/InstanceExperimentalSettings.test.tsx
src/features/connections` passes.
- `tsc --noEmit` passes for `packages/shared`, `server`, and `ui`. The
`ui` run shows errors only in the untouched
`storybook/support/feature-map` files.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` passes.
- Manual check: open **Apps** with the setting off. Search for "Gmail".
The Composio Gmail row appears, and the built-in Google Workspace card
does not. Turn on the setting in **Settings → Experimental**. The
built-in card appears again.

## Risks

- Existing built-in `google-workspace` connections stop running while
the setting is off, because the generic gate blocks execution. This is
intentional, so that the unverified Google app is not used. Turn on the
setting on instances that must keep these connections.
- Saved per-service Google connections are not affected.
- When the setting is on, the behavior does not change.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 03abe1f1a1 fix(native): keep the transport cause on a closed notification stream failure (#19240)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs read provider events from a shared session notification
stream (Codex, OpenCode and ACPX drivers use it)
> - When that stream closes, the driver fails the session with
`notification_transport_failed`
> - The run error was only "Provider notification transport failed
closed." The real cause was only in a diagnostic event
> - In a staging soak, many runs on OpenRouter and Grok agents showed
this error. Operators read it as a provider fault. The diagnostic events
showed a host-side cause: a stopped sandbox plugin worker ended remote
runner supervision
> - This pull request keeps the redacted, bounded cause on the terminal
failure message, and does not name the provider
> - The benefit is that a failed run shows why it failed, so operators
do not chase the wrong provider

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
Native runs failed with `native_provider_terminal_failed` and the error
"Provider notification transport failed closed." The run did not show a
cause. All failures in one cluster happened inside one minute, on
several agents and models (OpenRouter DeepSeek, Grok). Each run's
`harness.diagnostic` event had the real cause, for example
`runner_process_termination_unconfirmed: runnerd process supervision
failed: Cannot call "environmentExecute" — worker for "<plugin>" is
stopped`, or `native_adopted_runner_identity_unverifiable: runner
liveness could not be revalidated`. The sandbox duplex transport
reported a `provider_exit` loss about 30 seconds before (the read-only
process probe budget).

**Expected behavior**
The terminal run error keeps the redacted cause. It does not blame the
model provider when the cause is host-side runner supervision.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Open a native Codex-protocol session and start a turn.
2. Make the notification stream throw (for example, a supervision
error).
3. Read the `session.failed` and `turn.failed` messages. Before this
change they are the bare generic text.

## What Changed

- `codex-session-notifications.ts`: the `notification_transport_failed`
terminal message is now `Notification transport failed closed: <cause>`.
The cause is redacted first, then whitespace is collapsed and it is
bounded to 1,000 characters. The `Error: ` prefix is removed. The code
and `recoverable: false` do not change.
- New regression in `codex-protocol-integrity.test.ts`: one
`session.failed`, the cause and code are present, the secret is
redacted, the length is bounded, and `turn.failed` has the same message.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: an additive note that this failure can
come from host-side runner supervision, and that the message keeps the
redacted cause.

## Verification

- Red: before the fix, the new test failed: `expected 'Provider
notification transport faile…' to contain
'runner_process_termination_unconfirmed'`.
- Green: `cd packages/paperclip-runner && npx vitest run
src/drivers/codex/ src/conformance/local-provider-fault-matrix.test.ts
src/native-session-runtime.test.ts` (565 passed).
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p packages/paperclip-runner/tsconfig.json`: no new
errors. The existing `src/eval/workflow-harness.ts` errors come from an
unbuilt workspace package.
- Staging evidence was read with read-only GETs only (run, events).

## Risks

- Low risk. Only the message text changes. The failure code,
`recoverable: false`, and the safe-replacement rules do not change. The
server matches on the code, not on the message.
- This PR does not add a retry in the same turn. Runner termination is
unconfirmed when supervision is lost. A retry or replacement could start
a second executor. The remote process probe already retries read-only
checks inside a 30-second budget. Recovery stays with the existing
ownership and recovery checks.
- The cause text can include a plugin id. It goes through the existing
provider-diagnostic redaction.

DottaandPaperclip b3da1d886a fix(ui): retain Coordinator label filters across reloads (#19233)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Operators use task filters to keep a useful view of their work.
> - Coordinator saves status and assignee filters in the task-list URL.
> - A selected label stayed only in React state, so reload removed it
and showed unrelated rows.
> - This change saves and restores selected labels through the same
page-owned URL path.
> - Operators can reload and share that filtered collection without
selecting its labels again.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

In Coordinator All tasks, select a status, assignee, and label. Sort by
Task ID and reload. Status, assignee, and sort remain selected, but the
label is cleared and rows without that label appear.

**Expected behavior**

Reload and history navigation retain the selected labels with the other
URL filters. Clear filters removes the selected labels.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Open Coordinator All tasks with labeled and unlabeled tasks for the
same assignee and status.
2. Select that status, assignee, and a label.
3. Change Task ID sorting and reload the page.
4. Check both the selected label and the displayed tasks.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Source regression reproduced at master
47027e7ba5.

**Deployment mode**

Local rendered component test with the production filter panel, page,
and collection hook. API data is mocked. Live staging acceptance of this
repair remains pending.

Related prior work: #18831 preserves Coordinator views and filtered
links. Bounded searches found no matching label reload repair.

## What Changed

- Save selected labels as repeated `label` URL parameters in
CoordinatorTasks.
- Restore labels on mount and synchronize them on history navigation.
- Remove label parameters when clearing filters. Keep unrelated URL
values.
- Open label-only links in All tasks when no view is specified.
Canonicalize legacy Inbox-view links with labels to All tasks before
mounting the collection, so removing the last label retains local
filters and layout.
- Preserve the URL hash when filters change or clear.
- Add rendered checkbox, remount, repeated-label, history,
unknown-label, and legacy-view routing regressions through the real page
and collection.
- Document this URL behavior in PRODUCT.md.

## Verification

- First observed red: a production label checkbox restricted rows before
remount; after remount an unlabeled row appeared. The failure was
captured before production edits.
- Focused component suites: 90 tests pass across CoordinatorTasks,
Issues coordinator routing, useTaskListCollection, and issue-filters.
- UI typecheck and production build pass after generating the existing
plugin-sdk declarations locally.
- Token gates, map checks, and `git diff --check` pass. A review
correction restored the map to its unchanged base version. A native
review then found that the parent route omitted label scope. Four
settled routing cases failed before the one-entry route fix and pass
after it; the original label regressions still pass. A follow-up review
found a last-label redirect from the legacy URL; real
parent-plus-collection tests reproduced it. The route now canonicalizes
that entry before mount, and the tests preserve local priority and board
layout through label changes and history.
- The first treatment attempt exposed asynchronous test router timing.
The test now waits for a route update before the next interaction.
Initial failures remain in the private evidence record.
- Local checks above cover the UI and the affected component suites
only. `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm test:run`, and `pnpm build` were not
run across the full workspace on this candidate. No whole-repository
local pass is claimed.
- Fresh hosted checks completed on exact head
`11586cc4e1bc4951b1fdde403ff229f760db721b`: 54 success, 3 skipped, 1
neutral; no failures or pending checks. Snyk status passed. Greptile and
native review both gave 5/5. Both actionable review threads are
resolved. Native review noted one optional redundant scope entry; no
blocking finding remains.
- Fixed-revision live browser acceptance remains pending. No deployed
repair or recovery is claimed.

## Risks

Low scope. The change affects Coordinator task-list presentation only.
Unknown label IDs remain restrictive until cleared; missing label
metadata does not silently widen results. Multiple labels keep the
existing OR filtering behavior. Other task interfaces keep their
existing persistence path. URL label values use company-local IDs and do
not grant access. Label filtering remains over loaded records; this
change does not add server pagination filtering.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` through Codex, with reasoning, source inspection,
code execution, and local tests. The runtime did not expose context
window size. The parent agent owns delivery coordination.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 e8163fc860 fix(remote-workspaces): restore newer saved work over a retained sandbox's own retired root (#19231)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Remote workspaces save a task's files as snapshots and restore them
on the sandbox that runs the next turn
> - A parent task can delegate subtasks. The subtasks inherit the
parent's workspace, run on their own sandboxes, and save newer snapshots
> - When the parent wakes on its retained (warm, reused) sandbox, its
earlier workspace root is still on that sandbox at the same published
path
> - The restore refused that root with `reason=occupied_root`, so the
parent run failed at setup and the task became blocked with a board
recovery action
> - This pull request lets the restore replace that root only when the
server proves it is the workspace's own earlier, fully saved allocation
on this sandbox
> - The benefit is that a delegating parent on a retained sandbox
continues with the children's saved work, and unknown occupants are
still refused

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A parent task on an agent with a retained sandbox delegates two subtasks
to other agents. Both subtasks finish. The parent's wake run fails
before the provider starts with `remote_workspace_restore_failed:
step=sandbox_restore; ... stage=inspect_root reason=occupied_root`. The
task becomes `blocked` with a stranded-work recovery action. Parents on
agents with ephemeral sandboxes complete in the same wave.

Root cause: the subtasks inherit the parent's execution workspace. Each
subtask becomes the writer at a new epoch on its own sandbox, restores
at the same published directory name, and saves a newer snapshot. The
workspace location then points at the last subtask's sandbox. The
parent's wake run gets a lease on its retained sandbox, so preparation
is not "same allocation" and must restore the newer snapshot. The target
path on the retained sandbox still holds the parent's epoch-1 root,
which has a preparation receipt (`workspace-ready.json`) and no restore
receipt. The restore script refuses any occupied root that is not the
same restore, so it fails with `occupied_root`. A warm reuse cannot just
keep the old root, because the snapshot is newer.

**Expected behavior**

The parent restores the newest saved work (its own files plus the
children's results) into its published root and continues. A foreign or
unknown occupant is still refused.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Prepare a remote workspace on sandbox A, write files, and save (final
boundary).
2. Make a second run the writer on sandbox B. It restores, writes new
files, and saves.
3. Make a third run the writer on sandbox A again (same provider lease
id, new lease row) and prepare.
4. Before this change, step 3 fails with `stage=inspect_root
reason=occupied_root`.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `47027e7ba5`.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/remote-workspaces.ts`: add
`isRetiredOwnAllocation`. It reads this workspace's snapshot and restore
operations recorded at the same environment, provider lease id, and root
path. It returns true only when every such use is from an earlier epoch
than the current writer, the last use ended in a succeeded `final` save
with quiesced save work (`unknown=false`, no active invocations), no
other save in that epoch is newer or unsettled, and the saved snapshot
is committed or later. Preparation passes the result to the restore as
`replaceRetiredRoot`, and only when there is no migration and the
authority is clean.
- `server/src/services/remote-workspace-transport.ts`: the restore
script accepts `replaceRetiredRoot`. In that mode it replaces an
occupied root only when the root carries a well-formed Paperclip receipt
(`workspace-ready.json` or `workspace-restored.json` with a 64-hex
identity). It parks the old root at `<root>.retired-<identity>`,
publishes the restored folder, rolls the old root back if the publish
rename fails, and then removes the parked copy. A repeated restore with
the same identity adopts the published folder and removes any parked
copy left by an interrupted attempt. Without a receipt, the script still
fails with `reason=occupied_root`. `replaceRetiredRoot` and
`allowEmptyRoot` cannot be combined.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: document the rule.
- `server/src/services/remote-workspaces.integration.test.ts`: add a
red/green regression and the safety cases.

## Verification

- Red before the fix: `npx vitest run
src/services/remote-workspaces.integration.test.ts -t "retired root"`
failed in the `own retired root` case with
`remote_workspace_restore_failed: step=sandbox_restore;
remote_workspace_operation_failed: operation=restore exit=1;
remote_workspace_restore_failed: stage=inspect_root
reason=occupied_root`. This is the same cause text as the staging
failure.
- Green after the fix: all six cases pass:
- `own retired root`: the parent restores on its retained sandbox. The
root has the parent's file and the child's file, the parked and staging
folders are removed, and the authority records the parent's lease. A
repeated preparation (lost reply) keeps the parent's new unsaved edits.
- `own restored root`: an occupant with a restore receipt from a
different preparation is also replaced.
- `receipt missing` and `forged receipt`: the occupant is refused with
`occupied_root`, and its files stay.
- `later allocation`: a later use of that root on that sandbox without a
final save is refused.
- `never saved here`: a different sandbox with an unknown folder at that
path is refused.
- `npx vitest run src/services/remote-workspaces.integration.test.ts
src/services/remote-workspace-transport.test.ts
src/services/heartbeat/run-completion.test.ts`: 247 passed. This
includes the existing `occupied root` cold restore case, which is still
refused.
- `tsc --noEmit` shows no errors in the changed files. The local tree
has unrelated errors from unbuilt workspace packages.
- I did not run a live staging run. Staging is read-only for this work,
and this PR does not deploy.

## Risks

- The replaced root is removed after the publish. The server proof
states that its content is in the saved lineage. If a process wrote to
that root after its final save and outside a Paperclip run, those writes
are lost. The same assumption applies when authority moves to another
allocation today.
- The proof uses operation records that have `exportCleanup` location
metadata. Older records without that metadata do not qualify, and those
cases still fail closed with `occupied_root`.
- A warm runner process that kept an open working directory in the old
root sees a removed folder. This is not verified live. The new turn is
given the published path, which holds the restored files.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic. It used tool use for
code search, shell, test runs, and read-only staging inspection in the
browser.

DottaandPaperclip 5d8d9bf83e fix: share native lifecycle policy with instruction checkpoints (#19230)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Warm native Codex turns save registered agent files at each turn
boundary.
> - Native execution can inherit warm mode from the agent when the
environment has no explicit policy.
> - File preparation checked only the environment policy and could miss
that inheritance.
> - The new copy then had no warm checkpoint callback, even though the
native session stayed warm.
> - This pull request resolves one admitted policy before both owners
use it.
> - The benefit is a terminal file checkpoint under the selected
lifecycle, with the existing ownership and permission fences.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #14735 and #19225. The first defines warm file checkpoints. The
second retains coordinator ownership while cleanup joins. This change
fixes the earlier lifecycle selection mismatch.

**What happened?**

With no explicit environment policy and an agent warm default, native
selection chose warm mode with a 900,000 ms idle window. Actual file
preparation registered an agent_files copy without its warm flag or
checkpoint callback. An unchanged turn could have no save marker. Later
retirement of a retained lease could reach the stopped-file retrieval
guard and preserve pending collection debt.

**Expected behavior**

File preparation and native execution use the same admitted lifecycle
policy. Warm native Codex copies receive their terminal checkpoint
callback. Explicit per-turn overrides and pinned admissions keep their
existing precedence. A pending historical copy does not become saved
because policy resolution changed.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Configure a native Codex agent with a warm default and a reusable
sandbox without an explicit runner lifecycle policy.
2. Prepare its managed agent-file copy through the normal instruction
owner.
3. Select native execution through the normal runtime owner.
4. Compare the selected warm policy with the copy's missing warm flag
and checkpoint callback.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Base: `3a090b815b`. The owning policy code also exists on its parent
revision.

**Deployment mode**

Native Codex with registered agent files and a reusable sandbox that
inherits its lifecycle policy.

## What Changed

- Move the existing lifecycle precedence and backend gates into a narrow
shared resolver.
- Resolve one value before instruction preparation and pass it into
runtime selection.
- Select warm file ownership from that value and the existing file
capability gate.
- Add real-Postgres unchanged and changed terminal checkpoint cases,
policy precedence cases and updated preparation coverage.
- Exercise the same resolve, timed preparation and runtime-selection
orchestration used by heartbeat; preserve preparation error identity and
skip selection on preparation failure.
- Document new-admission overrides and pinned-policy behavior.

## Verification

- Red: actual preparation and runtime-selection producers disagree. The
selected native mode is warm, but the real persisted copy has no warm
flag. The fixture uses real PostgreSQL, managed-root authorization and a
synthetic loopback transport.
- Green: 85 owner tests pass. They include actual unchanged and changed
terminal checkpoints plus 19 lifecycle hierarchy/capability cases.
Changed synthetic bytes reach canonical storage with a saved receipt;
unchanged bytes record unchanged.
- Safety: 25 existing warm retirement and
stopped/destroyed/foreign-owner cases pass. Six authorization,
stale-adoption and adopted-owner preservation cases pass. The lease
guard and native executor are unchanged.
- Workspace typecheck, build and map checks pass. The final candidate's
code and test blobs equal the tested source; its exact build stamp is
recorded locally.
- No new repository-wide local run was repeated. A separate earlier
broad command on an older head failed a reproducible GitHub enrollment
fixture; it is not a full local pass, established flake or proven caused
by this change. Fresh full hosted CI is green on the reviewed final
head; both current-head Greptile and native substantive reviews are 5/5
with no actionable findings.
- Review regression: removing actual policy propagation to preparation
in the shared production orchestration fails both real-Postgres cases
while runtime selection still chooses warm mode. Restoring it passes.
These cases invoke the production helper used by heartbeat, not the
entire outer heartbeat service.
- The provider-facing transport is a local loopback fixture. No model
turn, actual remote platform, physical stop receipt or deployed recovery
is proved by these tests.

## Risks

- New Codex copies that inherit agent warm mode now use the existing
terminal checkpoint path. This can add the expected file checkpoint
where only an unchanged probe ran before.
- The resolver preserves explicit environment per-turn overrides, pinned
admissions and backend/credential gates. It does not create a timer,
provider retry or new permission.
- Existing pending copies remain pending. This change does not authorize
retrieval from stopped or replaced leases and does not establish
recovery of historical files.
- No database migration, public API field, agent setting, provider
change or manual rollout is included.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, `gpt-6.1-sol`, with reasoning, source inspection and local
code execution. Context window and reasoning effort are host-managed.

DottaandPaperclip 47027e7ba5 fix(routines): retain authenticated agent responsibility on creation (#19222)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Routines save work for later execution under a responsible person's
authority.
> - An agent can create a routine through its normal REST or native API
tools.
> - The create route kept the agent creator but dropped the
authenticated responsible user.
> - The service then selected a parent task's user or a company default,
even when the source run had a different user.
> - This pull request passes the authenticated responsible user
separately from creator attribution.
> - Future automatic runs then use the authenticated responsible user
saved in the routine revision.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

An authenticated native agent created a routine without a parent task.
The stored responsible user became a different company owner. An
unrelated parent task could also replace the authenticated user. The
defect changes the identity saved for future automatic work.

**Expected behavior**

Creation must use the server-resolved responsible user from the
authenticated run or API key. The agent remains the creator. A person
who clicks Run now still supplies that manual run's identity.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create an active company member and a different company owner.
2. Initialize a native agent run with the member's identity.
3. Use `call_api` to create a paused, self-assigned routine without a
parent.
4. Read the routine and its first revision. Before this fix, both use
the company owner.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on master `56517dda6c5b32bc901b7dbf1605eaaa041c5fba`.

**Deployment mode**

Local source integration with real HTTP routes, agent authentication,
native tool authority, and embedded PostgreSQL. No provider turn is
needed for the reproduction.

Related work:
[#19128](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/19128) adds board
controls for saved responsibility.
[#15207](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/15207) repairs
synthetic identities from built-in installers. Neither fixes this
authenticated create path.

## What Changed

- Pass the authenticated agent's responsible user as a separate internal
actor field.
- Select the board user first, then the agent’s server-resolved
responsible user, before the existing parent and company fallback.
- Keep creator attribution, initial revision attribution, manual
dispatch identity, and existing records intact.
- Add real native API, HTTP, and PostgreSQL regressions for identity
selection, replay, client spoofing, stale claims, revoked membership,
cancellation, cross-company calls, API keys, and fallback behavior.
- Document the creation and manual dispatch identity rules in the
execution contract. Correct the obsolete responsibility sentence in the
agent access map.
- Make the existing live-retry route fixture wait for its committed
comment’s durable wake before draining. Keep all process and saved-owner
assertions.

## Verification

- Captured a failing native `call_api` test before changing production
code. The persisted responsible user was the unrelated company owner.
- The same real route and database boundary passes after the fix.
- Initial affected routine and identity checks: 131 passed. The existing
pending-AI-card fence also passed.
- Follow-up routine checks: 118 passed. The owning scheduled-retry suite
passed all 31 tests.
- Initial CI serialized shard 7/9 failed with a `23503` wake-to-agent
foreign key error during test cleanup. A controlled
real-route/PostgreSQL pause reproduced that exact error on unchanged
base `56517dda6c`. The drain returned before the route registered its
deferred comment wake. The same pause passed after the fixture waited
for the actual commentId’s durable wake receipt. The original failure is
preserved.
- Affected server typecheck after the fixture query change: passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed.
- `pnpm build`: passed.
- `pnpm test:run`: still running as supporting coverage. The worktree
changed during the run: map cleanup, then the six-line fixture wait.
Production and routine-test files stayed unchanged. This is
mixed-working-tree coverage, not an immutable full-suite pass for a
commit. Exact next-head CI remains required.
- `node scripts/check-maps.mjs` and `git diff --check`: passed.
- Exact head `a12e3f6c42b8ad5826fd58faa3cd9553ea251e09`: all CI gates
passed. Greptile and the native substantive review both gave 5/5 with no
open findings. The native reviewer did not run tests or exercise
shadow-mode authorization.
- Live provider execution remains unverified. This change does not grant
access to another person's AI account.

## Risks

New agent-created routines now use their authenticated responsible user
before a parent or company default. This is the intended behavior
change. The service keeps its fallback when no bound identity exists.
Missing agent-key identity still fails authentication. Missing personal
AI configuration still blocks execution. Existing routines, revisions,
tasks, grants, and manual dispatch behavior do not change. The fixture
waits for a persisted wake record before draining; its original
live-process and saved-owner assertions remain.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` with reasoning, tool use, and code execution. The
host did not expose the context window size.

DottaandPaperclip 3a090b815b fix: retain native checkpoint ownership through warm close (#19225)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A native warm session must save its checkpoint under its exact
coordinator owner.
> - A failed turn can return an accepted result before that checkpoint
is saved.
> - The executor stopped renewal and released the owner before the
managed session closed.
> - The backup owner guard then refused the uncommitted, released owner.
A failed close could remain in the warm session map.
> - This pull request keeps the claim and its existing renewal through
checkpoint, close and instruction collection.
> - The benefit is a valid checkpoint owner and one fenced release after
the work joins.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19208, #19206 and #14695. Those fixes cover a destroyed backup
source, Stop before a provider session opens, and retained agent-file
ownership. They do not change this checkpoint ownership order.

**What happened?**

A failed warm turn accepted its result. Its coordinator reached
`workspace_finalizing`, with a result ID and no lease owner. Managed
close then called the durable checkpoint writer. The writer correctly
refused this state with `native_harness_storage_owner_missing`. The
failed close could remain for the next fresh session to retire.

**Expected behavior**

The current claim and renewal remain valid until the required
checkpoint, close and instruction collection join. Cleanup stops and
joins renewal, then releases only that exact claim. A changed owner is
not cleared. An earlier error keeps its identity.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run the new real-Postgres regression against the base commit.
2. Complete a structured failed warm turn through the normal
control-plane result producer.
3. Let the actual managed-session close call its production checkpoint
callback.
4. Observe the missing-owner refusal after coordinator release.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Base: `56517dda6c`. The native ownership order also exists on the
earlier failing revision.

**Deployment mode**

Native warm execution with durable harness storage and a managed remote
workspace.

## What Changed

- Join warm checkpoint, managed close and instruction collection before
coordinator release.
- Keep the existing lease renewal active through that work. Stop and
join it before release.
- Run the same fenced release after a checkpoint or collection error.
Preserve the initiating error unless restart detachment has won. Keep
the typed restart outcome and changed-owner fences. Attach only closed
cleanup-failure flags.
- Add real-Postgres ownership, delayed-renewal, error, retry and denial
cases. Route the managed-session regression through the existing
artifact-equipped native test lane. Update the continuity test for the
retained claim. Document the active renewal lifetime.

## Verification

- Red: the producing coordinator had an accepted result,
`phase=workspace_finalizing` and `leaseOwner=null` at managed close. The
production checkpoint callback refused it with
`native_harness_storage_owner_missing`.
- Green: all 9 real-Postgres regression cases pass. They cover a real
20-second renewal tick, a failed checkpoint, one force-fresh successor,
and wrong-boot and changed-owner denial. Actual restart detachment wins
even when checkpoint and joined renewal-stop both reject. The
replacement claim remains unchanged. No new provider turn or
cancellation receipt is created. A private canary does not enter the
closed diagnostic flags or an error cause.
- The executor, restart-recovery and heartbeat compatibility suites
pass: 1,259 tests, with 20 gated skips. The container-enabled continuity
case was not run locally. Its 21-second timer check remains. It now
requires the exact claim during `hasChanges()` and checks release after
the joined work.
- All 39 shard-routing and combined-coverage tests pass. The new
regression runs in the existing native lane with the required Runner
artifact.
- Final local head `0edcc37f35` passes `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm
build`, `node scripts/check-maps.mjs` and the 9-case regression. The
earlier broader compatibility run used identical source bytes. A
separate earlier repo-wide local suite on `6cdd68e915` ended with exit
1. Its general-server stage had one GitHub enrollment acknowledgement
failure, 31,469 passing tests and 215 skipped tests. That
acknowledgement failure reproduced in one narrow run on the same old
tree. It is not an established flake or proven caused by this fix. Later
repository stages did not run. No duplicate broad suite or full local
pass is claimed.
- The first published head failed review for detach-error precedence and
the old continuity assertion. Its server shard also failed because the
new test lacked a Runner daemon in the general lane. Those failures
remain recorded. This candidate fixes their causes. Both exact-head
reviews are now 5/5. The hosted native-server lane ran all 9 new
ownership tests successfully. One unchanged tool-gateway rate-rule test
failed in the first current-head CI run. It passed previously and passed
locally, both narrowly and in its full 183-test file. The single
same-head failed-job rerun passed. All current-head hosted gates are
clean. The initial failure remains recorded; no test assertion was
weakened.
- The provider transport is an in-memory fixture. The managed wrapper,
production checkpoint callback, control-plane result and Postgres
ownership are real. No paid provider or live remote process is
exercised. This does not prove a deployed recovery or a remote stop
receipt.

## Risks

- A slow required checkpoint extends the lifetime of the existing active
renewal. Its cadence stays at 20 seconds for remote claims and 5 minutes
for local claims. It runs only while the admitted checkpoint, close and
collection remain active, then stops and joins on completion or
unwinding. The tests observe a real remote renewal tick. No idle timer,
new retry budget or new worker is added.
- The release still checks company, task, run, owner, attempt, boot,
PID, process start and expiry. Restart detachment retains its recovery
owner.
- The storage owner guard is unchanged. No migration, permission,
provider setting or deployment change is included.

## Model Used

code execution and read-only staging metadata. Context window and
reasoning effort are host-managed.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 b8e8ab4641 fix(recovery): continue saved input after a recovered sandbox stops, not after its destroy (#19224)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A board user can stop or interrupt a native run and send a message
for the next turn
> - When the stop leaves sandbox files unsaved, automatic recovery saves
them, re-stops the sandbox, and the saved message continues
> - For agents whose sandbox is destroyed after each turn (an ephemeral
lease), recovery then queues the destroy. That step removed the lease's
stop receipt
> - The continuation gate waits for a stop receipt, so the message
waited for the destroy and its cleanup retry, about 5 to 8 minutes
> - Agents with retained sandboxes continued within seconds, so the
delay looked agent specific
> - This pull request keeps the verified stop on the cleanup lease and
lets the continuation and the next remote writer accept it
> - The benefit is that a redirect, Retry or interrupt continues right
after its files are saved, for every lease policy

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19206

**What happened?**
On hosted staging, a Stop or `interrupt: true` comment on a native run
left a follow-up turn that started 5 to 8 minutes later for some agents,
and 25 to 40 seconds later for others. The slow agents use ephemeral
sandbox leases. In each slow case, the stopped run's lease was released
by `pending_cleanup_retry` about 5 minutes after recovery, and the saved
message started one second later. The fast agents use retained leases,
which recovery releases at once.

**Expected behavior**
The saved message continues right after recovery saves the files and the
sandbox is stopped. The destroy of a stopped sandbox is resource cleanup
and must not hold the next turn.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Use an agent whose sandbox lease is ephemeral (destroy after each
turn).
2. Interrupt or stop its native run so that recovery must save the
sandbox files.
3. Post a message. See the follow-up start only after the sandbox
destroy finishes.

**Paperclip version or commit**
Hosted, at `56517dda`.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/workspace-recovery.ts`:
`scheduleRecoveredWorkspaceCleanup` keeps the verified stop receipt as
`workspaceRecoveryCleanup.stopReceipt` when it queues the destroy.
- `server/src/services/remote-execution-termination.ts`: new
`hasRecoveredCleanupStopReceipt(lease)`. It is true only when the lease
has recovery cleanup for its own run, was released, and the carried
receipt matches the lease, run, provider and provider lease id.
- `server/src/services/explicit-native-continuation.ts`: the
`remote_cleanup` gate accepts that receipt.
- `server/src/services/execution-blocker.ts`: `hasPendingRunCleanup`
ignores a lease with that valid receipt, so a saved native interrupt
send (and Retry or fresh-workspace checks) does not wait for the
destroy. Other cleanup holds are unchanged.
- `server/src/services/remote-workspaces.ts`: the next remote writer
accepts that receipt for the ended writer's lease.
- `server/src/services/execution-blocker.ts` (from #19206 review, not in
the merged head): pre-turn evidence uses the exact startup lifecycle
event list, so turn-scoped events such as `workspace.diff.recorded`
count as provider work.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: describes the rule.

## Verification

- Red before the fix, green after: `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/workspace-recovery.test.ts -t "admits the interrupt
redirect"`. An interrupted native run with recovered files and a queued
destroy blocked the user message with `remote_cleanup` before the fix.
After the fix the message is admitted. A lease without the stop receipt,
or with a receipt for another run, still blocks with `remote_cleanup`.
The test runs the same input as a plain message and as a saved native
interrupt send (`queuedCommentInterruptId`); `hasPendingRunCleanup` was
true before the fix and blocked the interrupt send with
`cleanup_pending`.
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/remote-workspace-reservation.test.ts -t "ended writer"`:
the next writer reserves the workspace from an ended writer whose
recovered lease awaits destroy; a missing or foreign receipt still
blocks. Removing the new branch fails the positive case.
- Updated `saves the authoritative remote workspace after native failed
...`: Retry now continues before the destroy, and the cleanup lease
carries the stop receipt for its run and lease.
- `workspace-recovery.test.ts -t "provider work cannot be excluded"`
includes `workspace.diff.recorded` as provider work.
- Related suites pass: `workspace-recovery.test.ts`,
`explicit-native-continuation.test.ts`,
`remote-workspace-reservation.test.ts`,
`remote-workspaces.integration.test.ts`,
`remote-workspace-lifecycle.test.ts`, `task-retry*.test.ts`,
`native-cancelled-workspace-preservation.test.ts`,
`workspace-recovery-source.test.ts`. `cd server && npx tsc --noEmit`
passes.
- Hosted evidence (read only): slow cases have ephemeral leases released
by `pending_cleanup_retry` about 5 minutes after
`issue.workspace_recovered`, with settlement one second later. Fast
cases have retained leases released by recovery.

## Risks

- Low to medium. The next turn can start while the old stopped sandbox
is still being destroyed. The receipt proves that the sandbox was
stopped after the files were saved, and an ephemeral successor uses a
new sandbox. A destroy failure stays with the existing cleanup retry.
- Leases without the carried receipt behave as before.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 beb73381ca fix(native): let a Stop before the provider session opens continue once (#19206)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A remote task restores its saved workspace into a sandbox before the
agent starts.
> - When that restore fails, the run records only
`remote_workspace_operation_failed: operation=restore exit=1`.
> - The run then fails as `setup_failed`. No retry starts, and a
`blocked` task gets no recovery action.
> - An operator cannot tell which step failed, and nobody owns the next
step.
> - This pull request makes the sandbox scripts name their failed step
in a closed grammar, and it gives a restore failure a bounded retry or a
named board recovery action.
> - The benefit is a visible cause and a clear owner. Saved work stays
protected.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19152 and #19187. Those changes name copy-back (save) failures.
Refs #18852 and #19195. Those changes added the bounded bootstrap retry
that this change reuses.

**What happened?**

A board reply woke an agent on a `blocked` parent task. The run failed
during setup 13 seconds later. The only run event was
`remote_workspace_operation_failed: operation=restore exit=1`. The run
had no workspace operation row. The task stayed `blocked`, and its
recovery actions showed `active: null`. The same opaque family also
appeared for workspace preparation (`exit=1` only).

**Expected behavior**

The run names which restore step failed, without command output or
paths. A failure before provider work uses a bounded retry when a retry
can help. Otherwise, and when the retry budget is spent, the board gets
a named recovery action. The saved version is never changed or
overwritten.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Save a remote workspace, then start a new run on a different
allocation.
2. Put a folder at the published workspace path in the sandbox before
restore.
3. Observe that the base code records only `operation=restore exit=1`,
then `setup_failed`, with no recovery action for a `blocked` task.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Base: `87dfba6818`.

**Deployment mode**

Legacy runtime with sandbox (Daytona) remote workspace storage.

## What Changed

- The prepare, repository, and restore sandbox scripts track their
current stage. On failure they print `remote_workspace_<op>_failed:
stage=<stage>` plus closed fields: `reason=` (the script's own
snake_case refusal), `archive=` (the archive helper's fixed reason),
`code=` (errno), `disk=full`, `git=` (a fixed label chosen from Git
output), and the existing `exit`/`signal`/`program` fields.
- The server accepts that text only when it matches a strict grammar for
the same operation. Other output is dropped, as before.
- Provider refusals during the restore upload and restore command are
recorded by closed labels, like copy-back.
- A failed saved-workspace restore raises `RemoteWorkspaceRestoreError`
with the server step (`snapshot_lookup`, `snapshot_download`,
`sandbox_restore`). It is retryable only when the owner re-reads the
same writer, epoch, and saved version with no unsaved work, and the
sandbox did not name a refusal reason.
- Setup failure handling classifies a pre-dispatch legacy restore
failure as `remote_workspace_restore_failed`. A retryable failure uses
the existing bounded bootstrap retry. A non-retryable or exhausted
failure records a board-owned recovery action with the redacted cause,
when stranded-work recovery does not scan the task status (for example
`blocked`).
- Stranded-work recovery gets a named notice for this code. Generic
continuation recovery does not grant it a second budget, and legacy
reconciliation does not invent provider actions for it.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md` documents the contract.

## Verification

- Red: the new transport tests failed on the base code with
`remote_workspace_operation_failed: operation=restore exit=1` (and the
same for prepare and repository). The new completion tests failed
because the run became `setup_failed` with no retry and no recovery
action.
- Green: `npx vitest run src/services/remote-workspace-transport.test.ts
src/services/heartbeat/run-completion.test.ts
src/services/remote-workspaces.integration.test.ts
src/__tests__/heartbeat-retry-scheduling.test.ts
src/services/legacy-execution-recovery.test.ts src/services/recovery
src/services/remote-workspace-save-concurrency.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-workspace-finalizer-failure.test.ts
src/__tests__/native-workspace-finalization-work.test.ts` passes (563
tests).
- The transport tests use real sandbox commands. They prove an occupied
folder reports `stage=inspect_root reason=occupied_root` and keeps its
files. They prove a wrong manifest reports `stage=extract
archive=manifest_mismatch`. They prove a missing branch reports
`stage=checkout_branch`, and a changed origin reports
`stage=verify_origin`. Forged output with a path is dropped.
- The real-PostgreSQL cold-restore test proves an occupied root gives a
non-retryable `sandbox_restore` failure and keeps the unknown files.
- The completion tests cover retried, exhausted, refused, post-dispatch,
and `in_progress` cases.
- `tsc --noEmit` for the server reports no errors in the changed files.

## Risks

- A retry keeps the same restore path. If the cause is deterministic but
unnamed, the run uses its two retries before the board action. Named
refusals skip the retries.
- The board action is recorded only for statuses that stranded-work
recovery does not scan, and only when no other action is active. This
prevents a second recovery identity for one failure.
- Script stderr grammar is new. Old sandboxes run the script that the
server sends, so no runner update is necessary.
- No migration, deployment, or credential change.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 f5891564ec fix(recovery): continue from a retired sandbox's backup and hand spent export repairs to the board (#19208)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native tasks keep a warm sandbox and a verified per-turn backup of
the provider session.
> - Recovery holds stop a task when continuation is not safe. They must
have a next action and an owner.
> - In a staging soak, two kinds of held tasks could not move forward.
Users followed the product's own instruction, and nothing changed.
> - First, a reply to a task whose warm sandbox Paperclip had already
destroyed failed every time. The label then said "Send a message to
continue" again.
> - Second, an exhausted system workspace repair stayed active and
system-owned for hours. The board saw no owner, and a reply started
nothing.
> - This pull request lets a reply continue from the backup when the
source sandbox is provably gone, and hands a spent system repair to the
board with a named Retry.
> - The benefit is that productive work always has a next action that
can succeed, and nothing replays or runs twice.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
(a) A native warm task ran one successful turn. A later legacy follow-up
retired the warm sandbox lease. The next user reply got a new sandbox
(`created` lease). The executor found a verified backup but no reusable
lease, so it threw `runner_harness_state_mismatch:
backup_without_reusable_lease`. The run retried on the restart-recovery
path, failed `native_remote_recovery_lease_mismatch`, and ended as
`native_continuation_requires_reconciliation`. Workspace recovery then
said "Saved work recovered. Send a message to continue." Each new reply
repeated the same failure.
(b) A run failed `native_workspace_sync_out_retry_exhausted`. System
workspace recovery used its 6 bounded attempts and became `exhausted`.
The recovery action stayed `active` with `ownerType: system`. The UI
hides system-owned recovery actions, so the board saw no action. Nothing
ran for more than two hours.

**Expected behavior**
(a) When Paperclip destroyed the source sandbox and no provider work
followed the backup, the reply continues once from the backup. Ambiguous
states still fail closed.
(b) When the bounded budget is spent, the action names a board owner and
a Retry action that can progress it.

**Steps to reproduce**
(a) Finish a warm native turn. Retire its reusable lease through
obsolete-lease cleanup. Send a reply. The new run gets a `created` lease
and fails `backup_without_reusable_lease`.
(b) Let system workspace recovery reach its deadline or retry limit.
Read the recovery action. It is still `ownerType: system`.

Related merged work checked first: #19145, #19184, #19187, #19189,
#19190, #18943 (added the guard for migrated sessions). Open recovery
PRs (`gh pr list --search recovery --state open`) do not touch these
paths.

## What Changed

- `native-retired-backup-source.ts` (new):
`retiredSourceAuthorizesNativeBackupRestore` decides whether a created
lease may restore the backup. All must be true: the backup's source
lease is `expired` or `failed`; it has a provider termination receipt
with state `destroyed`; its `nativeHarnessBackup` stamp names this exact
manifest SHA-256, session and runner instance; exactly one host lease
maps to the provider allocation; and no provider durable event for the
session was recorded after the backup completed. The provider event type
set moved here and the executor imports it.
- `native-session-executor.ts`:
`shouldRestoreNativeHarnessBackupIntoSandbox` accepts
`retiredSourceContinuation`. A created lease with a configured reusable
lease evaluates it, beside the existing migrated-session path. The
restore uses the existing verified restore and stamps the new lease.
- `system-recovery.ts`: `updateSystemRecovery` moves an `exhausted`
action to `ownerType: board` and writes a next action and workspace
recovery message that name the attempt count, the last failure code, and
**Retry recovery**. Retry (`requestWorkspaceRecovery`) already starts a
new bounded generation and returns ownership to the system.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: documents both rules.

## Verification

- Red before the fix, green after:
- `npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts -t "restores
a warm backup into a created lease only when"`. Before: the
destroyed-source case rejected with `runner_harness_state_mismatch:
backup_without_reusable_lease`. After: it restores the runner state and
provider home into the new sandbox and stamps the new lease.
- `npx vitest run src/services/workspace-recovery.test.ts -t "hands an
exhausted system export repair"`. Before: `exhausted` with `ownerType:
"system"`. After: `ownerType: "board"`, the blocker says Retry recovery
and never says "send a message", no provider run or lease resume
happens, and Retry starts one new system generation.
- Safety cases (fail closed): a stopped (not destroyed) source, a stamp
for another checkpoint, provider work after the backup, a still-reusable
`released` lease, a missing receipt, and two host leases for one
allocation. These run in the executor test and in
`native-retired-backup-source.integration.test.ts` against embedded
Postgres.
- Related suites pass: `workspace-recovery.test.ts`,
`system-recovery-state.test.ts`, `native-session-executor.test.ts`,
`task-retry.test.ts`, `explicit-native-continuation.test.ts`,
`workspace-recovery-source.test.ts`,
`native-workspace-export-retry.test.ts`,
`native-remote-retry-admission.test.ts`,
`native-workspace-warm-reuse.test.ts`,
`native-workspace-sync-retention.test.ts`,
`heartbeat-observed-workspace-preservation.test.ts`,
`execution-control-work.test.ts` (2,224 tests).
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json` passes.
- Not done: a live run against staging. Staging access was read-only.
The staging evidence is the run event timeline described above.

## Risks

- (a) A backup restore after a lost sandbox could rewind a session if
newer provider state existed. The predicate requires a provider
`destroyed` receipt and no provider event after the checkpoint. A
stopped sandbox, a pending cleanup, or a still-reusable lease still
fails closed with the old error.
- (a) The event-time check can fail closed if a late event from the
backup turn is written after the checkpoint time. That keeps the old
behavior; it never authorizes a restore.
- (b) The action's next action text stays as the exhausted message while
a later Retry generation runs. The task blocker shows the live workspace
recovery message first, so users see "Recovering saved work…" during
that time.
- Not changed: when the predicate fails closed, the run still follows
the existing reconciliation path. That path can still end with the "Send
a message to continue" receipt. That residual is narrower now and needs
a separate change to the workspace recovery receipt.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17228
Refs #17263

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

ea42a2e417 fix(recovery): coalesce duplicate legacy no-replay holds (#17055)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Recovery records keep uncertain execution outcomes from being
replayed.
> - A settled record can still block replay while it waits for a
verified decision.
> - Repeated scans can create more settled records for the same failed
execution.
> - Resolving only one duplicate leaves the task behind another hold.
> - This pull request retains the settled hold and applies one verified
decision to its exact duplicates.
> - The task can continue through the existing delivery path without
creating another delivery owner for each duplicate.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #14600. This change addresses duplicate settled holds and their
same-source resolution. The visibility and other deferred-wake paths
remain outside this change.

Related: #10011 handles unchanged active incidents. This patch handles
settled no-replay records. #15285 covers missing reconciliation input.
#17031 covers a handoff to a new task owner. External-adapter
continuation is covered separately by #15982.

## What Changed

- Retain a resolved legacy no-replay decision when a later scan finds
the same company, task, cause, fingerprint, and source run.
- After a verified reconciliation, resolve duplicate records that also
match the selected action's kind. Keep the selected action as the
delivery owner for this group. Record the merged action IDs in the
activity log.
- Preserve independent workspace and system recovery records, existing
reconciliations, and records for other sources.
- Add PostgreSQL regression tests for repeated scans, historical
duplicates, delivery count, repeated resolution, scope boundaries,
simultaneous resolutions, and rejected reconciliation rollback.
- Update the execution semantics and recovery maps. This patch has no
schema migration or adapter-specific code.

## Verification

Current head: `3c84bc89325d40bfdda5d28f24ed2fb67d48756c`. It merges
`master` at `043f2514e67c50320433a0013fb228a75a51325c` without rewriting
the existing commits. The only conflict was in
`markExecutionReconciliation`. The resolution retains the upstream
transaction and all three queue notifications. Source, sibling, and
audit writes use the same transaction.

The final merged tree passed:

```sh
pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/issue-recovery-actions.test.ts server/src/services/legacy-execution-recovery.test.ts server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts server/src/__tests__/execution-control-work.test.ts --maxWorkers=1
# 549 passed; zero skipped
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsc --noEmit
# exit 0
node scripts/check-maps.mjs
# passed: 35 areas, 191 capability IDs
git diff origin/master --check
# passed
```

Three new cases add real PostgreSQL and HTTP-route evidence. Two
resolution requests target different duplicate holds while both wait on
database locks. They leave one continuation owner, one coalescing audit
record, and one queued successor. A live-provider rejection leaves all
records unchanged. A checkout rejection after reconciliation writes
rolls back the source, siblings, and audit row. The fixture occupies the
dispatch slot, so no external model provider runs.

The new contention case was also run with only
`execution-recovery-resolution.ts` replaced by its parent revision at
`65f59e339a9fb6e0635bcbd8c36791bd610326a6`. It failed with two
continuation owners instead of one. The source was restored
byte-for-byte, and all three new cases passed again before the merge.
The final four-suite run above validates the merge with the upstream
notification changes.

The original positive regressions also failed on that parent revision:
three scan-and-settle cycles left four records instead of one, and
resolving one historical hold left its two duplicates unreconciled. The
scope matrix covers company, task, kind, cause, fingerprint, source run,
replay state, protected recovery records, and prior reconciliation.

Fresh-checkout collection initially failed because plugin SDK build
outputs were absent. After building them, PostgreSQL startup exposed
native library symlinks missing from an installation with scripts
disabled. The package's symlink setup resolved that failure. The
standard server typecheck attempt started a Rust vendor prerequisite
build and was stopped; direct TypeScript checking passed. These failed
or incomplete attempts are not counted as passes.

Full repository build, recursive typecheck, and CI were successful on
the earlier `08e5c0285` revision ([CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39541949702)).
They are historical evidence, not results for this merge. The current
local proof is the four suites and checks listed above. Full upstream CI
for the merge is pending. Greptile reviewed
`3c84bc89325d40bfdda5d28f24ed2fb67d48756c` with 5/5 confidence and no
actionable findings; that source review is separate from test execution.

## Risks

- A match that is too broad could clear an independent hold. Tests cover
company, task, kind, cause, fingerprint, source run, replay state,
workspace recovery, system recovery, and prior reconciliation
boundaries.
- The existing issue-lock transaction covers the selected action and its
duplicates. The patch does not create a new lock or an automatic retry
path.
- The patch does not infer that a network or provider failure means no
action occurred. Existing reconciliation validation still checks the
source, owner, stopped processes, leases, and observed action outcome.
- Previously reconciled records and their delivery state remain
unchanged. This patch prevents new duplicate delivery owners when it
resolves unreconciled duplicates. It does not migrate every historical
delivery record.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, assisted with the implementation, tests,
and review. It used repository tools and code execution. The exact
runtime model ID, context window size, and reasoning setting are not
exposed in this session. An independent AGY review also ran; its
provider model ID was not exposed.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 87dfba6818 fix(native): retry an unpublished accepted task reply durably instead of dropping it (#19200)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A native run commits its status decision and its final reply comment
in separate steps
> - Background presentation recovery publishes an accepted reply when
the live path does not record one
> - That worker dropped the run after one refused attempt and only threw
on an error, with no record on the run
> - A task could then show done while the user never saw the answer,
until an unrelated wake reloaded the queue
> - This pull request makes the publication of an accepted ordinary task
reply durable, bounded, and recorded
> - The benefit is that a task cannot close silently without its answer

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19130 (verify requested publication at finalization, for
documents), #19183 (deliver messages saved while a native run
finalizes), #19186 (stale owner done). This change does not duplicate
them. It covers the final reply comment.

**What happened?**
A native run accepted a result with disposition `done`. The status
decision set the task to done. The accepted final reply was not
published as a task comment. The run had no publication record (no
`run.presentation.resolved` event and no `presentationDecision`). The
reply was published by background recovery 58 minutes later, after an
unrelated wake reloaded the presentation queue.

**Expected behavior**
The accepted reply is published promptly. A refused or failed attempt is
retried with backoff and never posts twice. If publication fails
permanently, the run and the task show a named failure with an owner.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Commit an accepted native task result with disposition `done`, with
the final reply not yet visible to presentation recovery.
2. Run the native response presentation worker check once. The attempt
is refused.
3. On `master`, the worker returns `null` and drops the run. Nothing
records the attempt. Nothing retries it until another notification for
that scope.

**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at 3b17b5ce15.

**Deployment mode**
Cloud staging, native `paperclip_runner` agent.

Root cause notes: the staging evidence shows that the live completion
path did not reach its presentation step for the affected run (no
`lifecycle run succeeded` event). Staging server logs for that window
are not available, so the exact first refusal is not proven. The worker
defect is proven: one refusal makes `check()` return `null`, which
deletes the scheduled entry. One thrown error escapes with only
in-memory backoff and no record. The fix closes that gap for every
refusal or error cause.

## What Changed

- `native-response-presentation-work.ts`: when an accepted ordinary task
reply (`done` or `needs_review`, not an Agent Chat conversation) is
still unpublished after a due attempt, the worker records the attempt
and keeps the run scheduled. A thrown error for this class is recorded
instead of escaping. When the reply is published, an open retry receipt
is set to `resolved`.
- New `native-response-publication-receipt.ts`: stores the receipt in
`heartbeat_runs.result_json.responsePublication` (attempts, last reason,
last error, next attempt). Backoff is 30 s doubling to at most 5 min,
for 6 attempts. Each retry appends a `run.response_publication.retrying`
run event. After the last attempt it records
`native_response_publication_failed` with the run's agent as owner, a
`run.response_publication.failed` run event, and an
`issue.response_publication_failed` task activity.
- `native-response-presentation-query.ts`: the candidate query exposes
the saved retry deadline, so a restarted worker reconstructs the
schedule. It excludes a run whose publication is recorded as failed, so
retries stay bounded.
- An open retry receipt is settled to `resolved` in the same write that
records the reply's `commentId` (background recovery and the live
`recordRunPresentationDecision`). A candidate that disappears for
another reason leaves the receipt unchanged, so the bound cannot reset.
- When the reply comment already exists but its decision was not
recorded, recovery now records it as `reuse` with that `commentId`. It
does not post again and does not count a refusal.
- Under the run lock, an attempt is not counted again when another
worker already saved a future deadline. The worker also honors that
saved deadline after recovery.
- Idempotency is unchanged: the comment is written only while the
presentation decision has no `commentId`, under the existing coordinator
lock. The receipt write never overwrites a run that already has a
`commentId`.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: documents the contract.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-response-publication-retry.test.ts`
- Red on `master` (3 failed): after one refusal `check()` returned
`null` (dropped); one injected transaction error escaped with no record;
the refusal loop never stopped (more than 10 attempts, no failure
recorded).
- Green with this change (5 passed, including an already posted reply
and two concurrent workers): one refusal keeps the run scheduled and
recorded, a reloaded worker keeps the same deadline, the reply posts
exactly once after it becomes visible, and repeated checks do not
double-post; one injected error is recorded and retried; permanent
refusal stops after bounded attempts with the named, owned failure on
the run event and task activity.
- Related suites pass: `agent-chat-response-recovery.test.ts`,
`presentation-ownership-read.test.ts`,
`idle-native-finalization.test.ts`, `chat-monitor-continuation.test.ts`,
`native-preserved-monitor-wait.test.ts`,
`paperclip-control-plane-port.test.ts`,
`chat-channels.integration.test.ts`,
`photon/channel.integration.test.ts` (2047 of 2049 passed in one
combined run). One local failure needs a bundled Slack skill file that
is missing in this worktree. The other ("materializes direct
external-chat finals once") failed once under load and then passed three
times in isolation and in the combined set with this change.
- Not run: a live staging run. The change has not been deployed.

## Risks

- Behavior change: an ordinary task reply that recovery keeps refusing
now gets a recorded failure and a task activity after about 12 minutes.
Before, it was dropped silently. A persistent integrity decline (for
example a digest mismatch) now becomes visible this way. This is
intended.
- The status decision still commits before the reply. This PR does not
hold `done` on the comment. It makes a missing reply visible with an
owner.
- Agent Chat conversations and yielded chat responses keep their
existing behavior and their completion outbox owner.
- No schema migration. The receipt lives in the existing `result_json`
column.

execution in Claude Code.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 07a2941f0c fix(recovery): reclaim verified inactive provider caches on full disks (#19192)
Recover from a full-disk workspace save by reclaiming only a verified inactive provider installation under the existing source and maintenance authority. Commit the preparation inventory in Core before changing cache contents. Bind interrupted cleanup to stable filesystem identities and keep small staged generation markers when directory birth times are unavailable.

Skip read-only or permission-denied assets and stop freeing blocks once marker space is available. Preserve task files, Git, session history and uncertain action receipts. Only the normal saved-workspace and provider-stop receipts permit continuation.

Validated with 446 complete recovery regressions on the repair revision, subsequent focused recovery and transport suites, typecheck/build, and all exact-head hosted CI. Greptile reviewed the final head at 5/5 with no unresolved findings.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 037c58bb22 fix(daytona): keep the provider auto-stop strictly after the warm runner idle window (#19199)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A warm remote agent keeps its sandbox running after a turn. The host
keeps a warm runner for an idle window (`runnerIdleTimeoutMs`, or the
agent's `idleTimeoutMs`)

`autoStopInterval` minutes. The default is 15 minutes
> - On staging, the warm idle window was 900,000 ms (15 minutes). The
two windows were equal
> - A follow-up turn at the end of the warm window resumed a sandbox
that Daytona was stopping. Daytona refused the resume in about 4
seconds, and the run failed at setup
> - #19195 added a bounded retry for that refusal. It did not remove the
cause
> - This pull request makes the two windows non-overlapping by
construction. Daytona derives its auto-stop for a warm reusable sandbox
from the same warm idle value that the host uses
> - The benefit is that a follow-up inside the warm window always finds
a running sandbox, and idle sandboxes still stop

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19195 (bounded retry for a refused resume; this change removes the
common cause).

**What happened?**

On a staging soak, three follow-up runs failed at setup with a refused
sandbox resume. Each resume began 15 minutes 8 to 25 seconds after the
previous turn released the sandbox. The warm idle timeout was 900,000
ms. Daytona's default `autoStopInterval` is 15 minutes. Nothing in the
code kept these two values apart.

**Expected behavior**

A reusable sandbox that keeps a warm runner must not auto-stop inside
the warm idle window or at its edge. The provider backstop must fire
after the host's own idle handling, with a margin. Idle sandboxes must
still stop.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Configure a Daytona sandbox environment with `reuseLease` and a warm
runner with `runnerIdleTimeoutMs: 900000` (or an agent with
`lifecycleMode: warm`, `idleTimeoutMs: 900000`).
2. Run a turn. Do not set `autoStopInterval`.
3. Before this change: the sandbox is created with `autoStopInterval:
15`, equal to the warm window. A follow-up near minute 15 races the
provider stop.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`c656b95b6b` (current `master`).

## What Changed

- Daytona plugin (`plugin.ts`): add `effectiveAutoStopIntervalMinutes`.
For a reusable lease that keeps a warm runner, the effective auto-stop
is at least `ceil(warm idle / 1 min) + 5` minutes. The plugin applies
the floor only when the host forwards `warmRunnerIdleTimeoutMs`, or when
the environment itself selects `runnerLifecycleMode: warm`. An explicit
`0` (disabled), a longer configured value, `inherit` with a per-turn
agent, per-turn, and non-reusable sandboxes keep the configured value.
- Daytona plugin: use the effective value at sandbox creation. On
resume, raise a shorter auto-stop on an existing sandbox. This update is
best effort and bounded to 5 seconds; the #19195 retry still covers a
refusal. The stale-handle refresh threshold keeps the configured
interval, so a cached handle is not trusted for longer before the
provider confirms the new interval. The warm window is not written to
the saved normalized config.
- Host (`runner-environment-lifecycle.ts`): add
`resolveWarmRunnerIdleTimeoutMsForRun`. It returns the run's effective
warm idle window (environment `runnerIdleTimeoutMs`, else the agent
`idleTimeoutMs`) for a warm `paperclip_runner` sandbox run. It shares
the lifecycle-mode resolution with `resolveRunnerEnvironmentForRun`.
- Host (`environment-run-orchestrator.ts`, `environment-runtime.ts`):
pass that value as `warmRunnerIdleTimeoutMs` to the sandbox-provider
driver on acquisition and on remote recovery resume. The driver adds it
to the provider worker config only. Lease identity, reuse matching, and
lease metadata are unchanged.
- Daytona manifest: describe the warm floor on `autoStopInterval`.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: document the contract.

## Verification

- Red (before the fix, same tests, with the floor disabled): 5 failures
in `plugin.test.ts` "warm idle window versus Daytona auto-stop". The
staging case failed with `expected 900000 to be greater than or equal to
1200000`. The resume case failed because `setAutostopInterval` was not
called.
- Red (host): the new `environment-runtime.test.ts` case first failed
because the provider worker config had no `runnerIdleTimeoutMs`. The
service wrapper dropped the field. The fix forwards it.
- Green: `npx vitest run --config vitest.config.ts` in
`packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona`: 563 passed. This includes
a setter that never settles (resume completes after the 5-second bound)
and `inherit` with no forwarded window (explicit `autoStopInterval: 2`
stays 2).
- Green: `npx vitest run
src/services/runner-environment-lifecycle.test.ts
src/__tests__/environment-runtime.test.ts
src/__tests__/environment-run-orchestrator.test.ts` in `server/`: 242
passed. This includes recovery resume forwarding the admitted warm
window.
- The regression tests assert the relationship `autoStop >= warm idle +
margin` for several warm windows (125 s, 300 s default, 900 s, 1,800 s)
and for an explicit `autoStopInterval: 15`. They are not constant
checks.
- `node scripts/typecheck-low-memory.mjs` passes. `pnpm typecheck` in
the Daytona package passes.

## Risks

- A warm reusable Daytona sandbox now stays running up to the warm
window plus 5 minutes after its last activity, instead of 15 minutes.
With a 15-minute window this is 20 minutes. Cost is bounded and idle
sandboxes still stop.
- The resume-time `setAutostopInterval` call is best effort. If it
fails, the old interval stays and the #19195 retry still applies.
- Other providers are unchanged. They receive one extra host-owned
config key (`warmRunnerIdleTimeoutMs`) only for warm `paperclip_runner`
runs, and they ignore unknown keys.
- No lease identity change, so existing retained sandboxes are still
reused.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 c656b95b6b fix(environments): retry a refused sandbox resume with the bounded bootstrap budget (#19195)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A warm remote agent keeps its sandbox after a turn, so a follow-up
turn resumes the same sandbox and its files
> - The sandbox provider auto-stops an idle sandbox (Daytona: 15 minutes
by default). The warm native idle window is also 15 minutes
> - A follow-up that reaches the sandbox during that stop gets a
provider refusal. The host keeps the sandbox ("the lease was preserved
and no replacement was created"), which is correct
> - But setup then records a generic `setup_failed`. No retry is
scheduled, no cause is recorded, and the reply that woke the agent is
effectively dropped
> - This pull request gives that refusal its own failure code and routes
it through the existing bounded bootstrap retry. The retry resumes the
same recorded sandbox
> - The benefit is that a follow-up continues a few seconds later on the
same saved sandbox, instead of stopping the task with no next action

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18852 (the bounded bootstrap retry that this change reuses).
Related: #19152 and #19187 (copy-back causes), #19178 (Daytona
errored-sandbox recovery before stop-only cleanup), #19182 and #19180
(recovery holds). This change does not overlap with them: they cover
cleanup, copy-back, and recovery after a run. This change covers a
resume refusal before provider work starts.

**What happened?**

On a staging soak, two follow-up turns failed at setup after a
successful first turn:

- A board reply woke the agent. The run failed after 4.9 seconds with
`setup_failed`: `Reusable sandbox lease "…" could not be resumed; the
lease was preserved and no replacement was created.` The issue stayed in
review with no recovery action. The reply was not delivered.
- An earlier run on another task failed with the same message.

Both resume attempts started 15 minutes 8–25 seconds after the previous
turn released the sandbox. The first turns used `keep_running` with a
warm idle timeout of 900,000 ms. The Daytona default `autoStopInterval`
is also 15 minutes. So the resume reached the sandbox while the provider
was stopping it. The provider refused within seconds; this was not a
long resume timeout. The provider cause was not recorded, so this timing
is the strongest evidence. The exact provider state remains an
inference.

**Expected behavior**

A refused resume before provider dispatch is a temporary infrastructure
condition. The host retries it with a small, bounded budget. Each retry
resumes the same recorded sandbox. A refusal does not prove that the
sandbox is lost, so the host never destroys it or creates a replacement.
Only an explicit provider not-found or a workspace identity mismatch
with a verified backup permits replacement (unchanged). The run records
why the provider refused, without provider text.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run a warm remote turn that keeps its sandbox.
2. Make the provider's `environmentResumeLease` throw a non-transient
error (for example, a 400/409 while the sandbox stops).
3. Wake the agent with a reply.
4. Before this change: the run fails with `setup_failed`, no retry is
scheduled, and the error has no cause.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Seen on staging at `5b99bdae`. The touched code is unchanged on current
`master` (`f7a4c5678f`).

## What Changed

- Move `ReusableSandboxResumeError` to
`server/src/services/reusable-sandbox-resume-error.ts` (re-exported from
`environment-runtime.ts`). Give it the code
`reusable_sandbox_resume_failed`.
- Add the provider refusal to the error message by closed labels only:
`(cause=<label> status=<http> code=<errno>)`. The labels come from the
existing transport classifier, now exported as
`sandboxProviderFailureLabel`. Provider text, paths, and IDs are never
copied.
- Carry the provider status across the plugin worker RPC. A JSON-RPC
error has only a message and a numeric RPC code. The worker host now
attaches a validated `paperclip/environment-resume-error/v1` envelope
(HTTP status and an allowlisted errno only) to `environmentResumeLease`
failures. The host re-validates it and adds it to the recorded cause.
- In setup-failure settlement, find this error through the orchestrator
wrapper. Record `reusable_sandbox_resume_failed` only when provider
dispatch did not start and the run has no native session or runner
identity (the same guard as `remote_workspace_prepare_timeout`).
- Add the code to `isTransientWorkspacePreparationCode`. The existing
scheduler then gives two retries (30 s, 60 s) with its issue gate, Stop,
pause, and dependency checks.
- Exclude the code from generic continuation recovery and from legacy
reconciliation (no unknown provider actions; bootstrap evidence proves
none started), like the template.
- Add a specific stranded-recovery notice: "Saved sandbox could not be
resumed".
- Document the contract in `doc/execution-semantics.md`.

## Verification

- Red (before the fix, same tests): 6 failures. The `fresh` case
recorded `setup_failed` and did not schedule a retry. The error had no
cause. Legacy reconciliation held the run. Generic recovery granted
another budget.
- Green: `npx vitest run src/services/heartbeat/run-completion.test.ts
src/services/legacy-execution-recovery.test.ts src/services/recovery/
src/__tests__/heartbeat-retry-scheduling.test.ts
src/__tests__/environment-runtime.test.ts
src/services/remote-workspace-transport.test.ts
src/services/heartbeat/retries.test.ts` (in `server/`): 619 tests pass.
Also `src/services/recovery/stranded-notice` and
`src/services/remote-workspace*`: 411 pass.
- Safety regressions:
- `run-completion.test.ts`: only a pre-dispatch legacy failure with no
native identity gets the code and a retry. `started`, `retained`
(native), and an untyped copy of the message stay `setup_failed` with no
retry. The recorded error contains the closed cause and not the provider
path.
- `heartbeat-retry-scheduling.test.ts` (real PostgreSQL): two concurrent
schedulers across a restart create exactly one successor per attempt.
The budget ends after two attempts. Stop, pause, and a new dependency
cancel the scheduled retry. Generic stranded recovery creates no extra
run after exhaustion.
- `packages/plugins/sdk/tests/environment-resume-error.test.ts`: through
the real worker RPC, the `JsonRpcCallError` has no status, and the
envelope gives 409 and the errno. Provider text does not cross. Other
methods get no envelope. Malformed envelopes are rejected.
- `environment-runtime.test.ts`: a throwing resume still preserves the
exact lease. The runtime does not call destroy or acquire. The resume
throws a `JsonRpcCallError` whose message has no status. The thrown
message names `cause=provider_error status=409` from the envelope, and
not the provider text.
- `node scripts/typecheck-low-memory.mjs` passes. `git diff --check`
passes.
- Not verified: a live staging run at this revision. The original tasks
were not retried. This PR is not deployed.

## Risks

- Low. The change affects only runs that fail with this typed error
before provider dispatch. Each retry resumes the same lease and inherits
the source wake context, so a reply is delivered once and no second
executor starts.
- If the provider cannot start the sandbox for longer than about 90
seconds, the two retries end and the task gets the specific recovery
notice. The sandbox and its saved files are kept.
- The error message now has a parenthetical cause before the semicolon.
No code parses this message.
- An issue in review does not get the immediate stranded notice
(unchanged existing behavior). The retry, not the notice, delivers the
reply in that case.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, via Claude Code with
tool use (shell, file edits, browser reads of staging diagnostics).
Extended reasoning enabled.

DottaandPaperclip 245b4d3b79 Preserve cancelled workspaces after controllerless Stop (#18820)
Admit cancelled workspace preservation after an audited Stop acknowledgement when no live controller received an interrupt. Retain the strict dispatched receipt for provider termination and operator handoff. Existing source, lease, coordinator and result ownership checks remain enforced.

Validated with complete Stop/preservation suites (134 tests), real-file recovery, workspace typecheck and build, and green hosted CI. Greptile and Paperclip both reviewed the exact head at 5/5 with no unresolved findings.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 3b17b5ce15 fix(native): keep a reassigned-away run from closing the new owner's task (#19186)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A native agent run reports "done" in an accepted result. A finalizer
then decides the task status.
> - The board can reassign a task while the run is in flight. The old
run is cancelled, but its accepted result still goes to the finalizer.
> - The finalizer did not check who owns the task now. The old owner's
"done" closed the task of the new owner.
> - The new owner never did the work, and the task shows done with no
reply from the current owner.
> - This pull request makes a done report apply only when the reporting
run's agent still owns the task.
> - The benefit is that reassignment keeps its meaning: the new owner
keeps the open task, and the old result stays as history.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

On a hosted staging instance, agent A started a native run on a task.
Agent A finished the work and submitted a "done" result. Then the board
reassigned the task to agent B, and Paperclip cancelled agent A's run
with `issue_reassigned`. About 45 seconds later, the native finalizer
committed agent A's done decision with reason
`completion_claim_policy_accepted`. The task became done. Agent B's runs
were then cancelled because the task was terminal. Agent B never worked
on the task.

**Expected behavior**

A done report from a run that no longer owns the task must not close the
task. The accepted result stays as history. The task status stays as it
is for the current owner.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Assign a low-risk native task to agent A and start a run.
2. Submit a done result for the run.
3. Reassign the task to agent B before finalization.
4. Finalize the run. Before this change, the task becomes done.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Observed on staging at `b9fbbf8d30`. Reproduced on `master` at
`06826915d7`.

Related: #19130 adds a publication check for requested documents at
finalization. It does not check task ownership.

## What Changed

- `status-arbiter.ts`: add `ownsNativeTaskCompletion` and
`supersedeStaleOwnerCompletion`. A done decision from an agent that is
not the current assignee (another agent, a user, or nobody) becomes
`preserve` with reason `completion_owner_superseded` and no effects.
Other decisions do not change. This is the same ownership rule that the
provider-failure path already uses (`ownsProviderFailureDecision`).
- `native-run-finalizer.ts`: apply the rule after arbitration and before
the deliverable check. Conversation tasks keep their existing path.
- `native-status-reassessment.ts`: apply the same rule, so new evidence
from a reassigned-away run cannot close the task later.
- The status committer does not change. A reassignment during
finalization already increments `statusVersion` (migration 0358). The
committer then replans, and the retry applies the new rule.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: describe the rule next to the existing
"a late finalizer cannot change a reassigned task" statement.

## Verification

New file
`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-stale-owner-completion.test.ts`.
It uses embedded PostgreSQL, the real coordinator store and the real
finalizer.

- Control: the owning run's done result closes the task with
`completion_claim_policy_accepted`.
- Reassigned before finalization: the task stays `in_progress` with
agent B. The decision is `completion_owner_superseded`. The accepted
result row is unchanged.
- Reassigned after arbitration and before the status commit: the commit
replans and the task stays `in_progress`.
- Reassessment control: later approved evidence closes the owner's task
with `decision_superseded_by_new_evidence`.
- Reassessment after reassignment: later approved evidence from the old
run does not close the task. The decision is
`completion_owner_superseded`. This case fails when the reassessment
rule is disabled.
- Pure policy cases: another agent, a board user and no assignee all
preserve status. A non-done decision passes through.

Red before the fix (same tests, fix not applied):

```sh
cd server && npx vitest run src/services/native-runtime/native-stale-owner-completion.test.ts
# Tests 2 failed | 1 passed — both reassignment cases: expected "in_progress", received "done"
```

Green after the fix:

```sh
cd server && npx vitest run src/services/native-runtime/native-stale-owner-completion.test.ts
# Tests 10 passed

cd server && npx vitest run src/services/native-runtime/paperclip-control-plane-port.test.ts \
  src/services/native-runtime/native-completion-feedback.test.ts src/services/native-runtime/native-deliverable-feedback.test.ts \
  src/services/native-runtime/native-skill-test-status.test.ts src/services/native-runtime/native-routine-status.test.ts \
  src/__tests__/native-status-arbiter-corpus.test.ts src/__tests__/native-status-reassessment-work.test.ts \
  src/services/native-runtime/agent-chat-response-recovery.test.ts src/__tests__/native-run-projection-work.test.ts \
  src/services/native-runtime/task-reassignment.test.ts src/services/native-runtime/native-provider-failure.integration.test.ts
# 11 files, 614 tests passed
```

I did not run the full `pnpm test:run`, `pnpm -r typecheck` or `pnpm
build` locally. CI runs them.

## Risks

- A native run that reassigns its own task to a user or to another
agent, and then reports done, no longer closes the task through
arbitration. The status that the agent set through the API stays. This
matches the existing provider-failure ownership rule.
- A native run on a task with no assignee cannot close it through
arbitration. Native task runs start from an assignment, so this is not
expected in normal use.
- Review runs and conversation tasks keep their existing paths. Review
outcomes already preserve status before this rule.
- No schema change and no migration.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 46fb933b01 fix(recovery): keep the stop receipt when a file-preserving restart fails (#19181)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs can execute in a remote sandbox. When a run fails,
Paperclip stops the sandbox and records the provider's stop receipt on
the environment lease.
> - System workspace recovery can restart that stopped sandbox to save
its files. Before the restart, it removed the stop receipt from the
lease.
> - If the restart failed and the provider could not stop the sandbox
after that, the lease had no receipt. Continuation admission requires a
stop receipt on every remote lease of the failed run. So every Retry and
every comment waited for an environment that never stopped.
> - This pull request keeps the original receipt until the provider
confirms the restart. It restores the receipt when the restart fails and
the sandbox cannot stop. A restart that fails because the sandbox disk
is full now ends recovery with a fresh-workspace outcome.
> - The benefit is that a failed file-preserving restart no longer
blocks the task permanently. Saved input and Retry continue in a fresh
isolated workspace, and the original sandbox stays retained.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists. This is a bug report in the format of
`bug_report.yml`.

**What happened?**

1. A native run failed because its Daytona sandbox filled its 10 GB
disk.
2. Paperclip stopped the sandbox normally and recorded the stop receipt
on the environment lease.
3. Some minutes later, system workspace recovery tried to restart the
sandbox to preserve its files. Before the restart,
`prepareStoppedSandboxForRecovery` deleted the stop receipt.
4. The restart failed on the full disk. The sandbox went into the
provider's `error` state.
5. The stop-only teardown after the failed restart also failed, because
the provider cannot stop a sandbox in that state. The lease stayed in
`pending_cleanup` with no receipt. The cleanup sweep retried the same
failing stop with backoff.
6. `admitExplicitNativeContinuation` requires a provider stop receipt on
every remote lease of the failed run. Every Retry and every comment was
deferred with "Waiting for the previous environment to stop. Your
message will start automatically." The message never started.

Also, after recovery was exhausted, a Retry replaced the exhausted
generation with a new one. That generation repeated the same restart,
and the Retry still reported success.

**Expected behavior**

A lease must not lose its stop receipt while the real sandbox state is
unknown or not running. When the file-preserving restart cannot succeed,
recovery must end in a state that lets the task continue, for example in
a fresh isolated workspace.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Use a native run with a retained remote sandbox lease that has a
`stopped` receipt and a pending workspace recovery.
2. Make the provider resume fail (for example with `no space left on
device`), and make the provider stop fail.
3. Run `recoverRetainedWorkspace` until recovery is exhausted.
4. Save a user comment on the task and run the deferred-comment
admission.
5. Before this change, the lease is `pending_cleanup` without a receipt.
The comment stays deferred with reason `remote_cleanup`, and no
successor run starts.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Observed on a hosted staging build. Reproduced on `master` at
`6452e964a36` with the new tests in this PR.

**Deployment mode**

Hosted, with the Daytona sandbox provider plugin. The defect is in core
server recovery code, so it is not specific to one adapter.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/sandbox-stop-and-retain.ts`
- `prepareStoppedSandboxForRecovery` still writes the stop-only intent
and moves the lease to `pending_cleanup` before the provider call. It
now keeps the prior `remoteExecutionTermination` (and
`sandboxStopAndRetainReceipt`, if present) as `priorStop` inside the
`sandboxStopAndRetain` intent.
- New `confirmSandboxRecoveryRestart` removes `priorStop` when the
provider resume returns. From that point, the sandbox may be running,
and only a fresh stop can settle the lease.
- New `restoreSandboxStopAfterFailedRestart` restores the prior receipts
and the `released` / `success` lease state. It works only while
`priorStop` is present, so only when no restart was confirmed. It checks
the restored receipt with `hasRemoteTerminationReceipt` first. It uses
the same attempt fence as `settleStopOnlyCleanup`, and it writes through
`writeEnvironmentCleanup` so dispatch and cleanup wake up.
- `settleStopOnlyCleanup` now shares that attempt fence
(`stopOnlyAttempt`). Its behavior does not change.
- `server/src/services/workspace-recovery.ts`
- After `resumeWorkspaceRecoveryLease` returns, recovery confirms the
restart before any other check.
- If the restart is not confirmed, recovery still tries the stop-only
teardown first. A successful stop records a fresh receipt, as before. If
the stop also fails, recovery restores the prior receipt instead of
leaving the lease without one.
- A later attempt that finds a pending stop-only lease (for example
after a process restart during the reopen) uses the same rule when its
stop fails.
- A resume error that reports a full sandbox disk (`No space left on
device` or `Disk quota exceeded`) becomes `source_unavailable` /
`use_alternative_strategy`. The generation is exhausted at once, and the
existing fresh-workspace continuation applies. Other resume errors keep
the existing bounded retry policy (`provider_unavailable`, at most six
attempts in 30 minutes). Because the receipt stays, that policy also
ends in a state that lets the task continue.
- `server/src/services/task-retry.ts`: Retry binds to an exhausted
generation with a `use_alternative_strategy` failure and no fresh
attempt, the same way it binds to a complete or running generation. It
does not create a new generation that repeats a step the policy already
rejected. The Retry continues in a fresh isolated workspace. An explicit
workspace recovery request (`requestWorkspaceRecovery`) still starts a
new generation.
- `doc/task-recovery.md`: describes the receipt handling around the
reopen and the Retry binding.
- `server/src/services/workspace-recovery.test.ts`: four new tests (five
cases) with the real database and mocked provider calls.

### Design choice

I kept the existing write-ahead fence. The lease still leaves `released`
and shows no receipt while the provider reopen is in progress. So no
admission, reuse or destructive cleanup can act in that window, and a
crash still leaves a stop-only obligation. The original receipt is not
deleted. It stays in the stop-only intent and is discarded only when the
provider confirms the restart. This makes one simple rule: the suspended
receipt exists only while no restart has been confirmed.

I did not use "restore only when the provider confirms that the sandbox
is not running". The Daytona plugin reports a sandbox in the `error`
state as `active` in `inspectLease`, and its `stopLease` cannot stop
that state. So with the current plugin, no provider confirmation exists
for this exact failure, and the hold would stay. A separate change to
the Daytona plugin's `stopLease` can recover an errored sandbox before
it stops it. This PR does not depend on that change. If that change
lands and its recovery succeeds, the existing stop attempt records a
fresh receipt, and the restore path is not used.

I also did not change continuation admission to accept a lease in
`pending_cleanup`. Many gates treat pending cleanup as unfinished work
(`hasPendingRunCleanup`, the remote stop check and others). A change
there would be wider and more sensitive.

The restored receipt is the provider's original receipt, bound to the
same company, run, lease, provider, allocation and plugin. No process ID
or run status takes its place.

## Verification

All commands ran from `server/` in a clean worktree of `master` on macOS
(Apple Silicon), with the embedded PostgreSQL test database. Vitest ran
from the real path.

- Baseline on `master` (`6452e964a36`), before any change: `npx vitest
run src/services/workspace-recovery.test.ts` → exit 0, 331 passed.
- The new tests fail on `master`. I reverted only the three source files
and kept the new tests:
- `npx vitest run src/services/workspace-recovery.test.ts -t
"file-preserving restart fails|without repeating a restart|keeps the
stop obligation once|interrupted restart that the provider"` → exit 1, 4
failed, 1 passed.
- In the comment cases, no successor run starts (`expected [] to have a
length of 1`). A temporary log (not committed) showed the lease in
`pending_cleanup` in both cases. In the `unknown_failure` case, the
comment was deferred with `remote_cleanup` / "Waiting for the previous
environment to stop. Your message will start automatically." This is the
same hold as in the incident.
- The guard test "keeps the stop obligation once the provider has
confirmed a restart" passes on `master`, as expected. It makes sure that
the fix does not restore a receipt after a confirmed restart.
- With this change, the same command → exit 0, 5 passed.
- `npx vitest run src/services/workspace-recovery.test.ts` on the
committed head → exit 0, 336 passed (331 existing and 5 new).
- Neighboring suites (`task-retry`, `explicit-native-continuation`,
`heartbeat/recovery`, `environment-runtime`, and the other server test
files that import the changed modules: `live-recovery-work`,
`retained-native-session-cleanup-work`, `execution-control-work`,
`legacy-workspace-restore-recovery`, `deferred-execution-receipt-work`,
`issue-agent-mutation-ownership-routes`,
`native-workspace-export-retry`,
`native-cancelled-workspace-preservation`,
`native-workspace-warm-reuse`, `native-workspace-reconstruction`,
`native-failed-workspace-recovery`, `heartbeat/workspace-preparation`) →
exit 0, 16 files, 1456 passed.
- `npx vitest run src/__tests__/chat-channels.integration.test.ts
src/__tests__/slack-conversation-lifecycle.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/preserved-native-response-wait.integration.test.ts`
(other importers of `task-retry`) → exit 0, 3 files, 2074 passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` → exit 0.
- Not run: the full `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm test:run` and `pnpm
build` repo checks. CI runs them. No live Daytona probe ran.

New tests:

- `lets saved input continue after a file-preserving restart fails on a
sandbox that cannot stop` (`disk_full`, `unknown_failure`): resume fails
and stop fails. The lease keeps its original receipt and is `released` /
`success`. Recovery is exhausted (after one attempt for a full disk, and
after six attempts for an unknown failure). The saved comment starts one
successor run with `fresh_isolated_workspace` readiness. The source
files stay in the retained sandbox.
- `continues a Retry in a fresh workspace without repeating a restart
that cannot succeed`: after a full-disk exhaustion, Retry keeps the same
generation and binds its intent. The restart is not called again, and
the Retry starts one run in a fresh isolated workspace.
- `keeps the stop obligation once the provider has confirmed a restart`:
resume returns, a later check fails, and the stop fails. The lease stays
`pending_cleanup` without a receipt, and the intent has no `priorStop`.
- `restores the stop receipt after an interrupted restart that the
provider never confirmed`: the lease starts in `pending_cleanup` with a
suspended receipt, as after a process restart during the reopen. The
stop fails, the receipt is restored, and the attempt continues to the
normal reopen.

Assumption and limits (runtime dependency rule): the provider calls are
mocked, and the database is real. The tests do not exercise the real
Daytona error text. The full-disk check matches the patterns that
Paperclip already uses for sandbox disk-full errors. If the provider
error text does not match, recovery uses the bounded retry path, which
now also ends in a fresh-workspace continuation. The change adds one
database write after each confirmed reopen and one after a failed reopen
and stop. It adds no polling.

## Risks

- A resume can fail after the provider started the sandbox, for example
when the reply is lost. If the stop-only teardown then also fails,
recovery restores a `stopped` receipt for a sandbox that can be running.
The old run's processes do not survive the earlier stop, so the receipt
is still correct as proof that the old execution ended. But the retained
sandbox can run until the provider stops it or a later recovery or
cleanup stops it. Before this change, the same case caused a permanent
hold.
- A full-disk restart failure now exhausts recovery at once. The task
continues in a fresh workspace without the failed run's files. The files
stay in the retained sandbox. An operator can still request workspace
recovery explicitly after the disk is freed.
- Retry no longer renews an exhausted generation that has a
`use_alternative_strategy` failure and no fresh attempt. For destroyed
or missing sources, the result is the same as before but without the
extra attempt.
- No schema or migration change. A suspended receipt is one extra field
in the existing `sandboxStopAndRetain` metadata. Older servers ignore
the field. The intent equality checks compare the stored value, so a
mixed-version deploy keeps working.
- #18820 also changes `server/src/services/workspace-recovery.test.ts`.
The two PRs touch different tests.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 895cee28b3 fix(daytona): recover an errored sandbox before stop-only cleanup (#19178)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Remote agent runs use sandbox provider plugins. Daytona is one of
them.
> - After a failed run, Paperclip stops the sandbox and keeps its files
("stop-only cleanup"). A task can continue only when every remote lease
of the failed run has a provider stop receipt.
> - Daytona rejects Stop for a sandbox in its `error` state. A sandbox
that filled its disk went to that state. The plugin called Stop on it,
so every cleanup sweep failed with the same generic error.
> - The lease stayed in pending cleanup without a stop receipt. Each
Retry or comment waited forever with reason `remote_cleanup`. A manual
Daytona Recover was the only fix.
> - This pull request makes the Daytona stop-only hook recover a
recoverable sandbox once, with a bound, and then stop it. When it cannot
stop the sandbox, it returns a typed failure. The server escalates a
terminal failure at once instead of retrying it like a transient error.
> - The benefit is that a full-disk sandbox no longer blocks its task,
and a sandbox that cannot recover is visible to operators on the first
attempt.

`errorReason` was a Docker `no space left on device` error. The Daytona
`stopLease` hook calls Stop on any sandbox that is not `stopped` or
`archived`. Daytona rejects Stop in the `error` state. The pending
cleanup sweep ran about every 30 minutes, and it failed on every pass.
The lease stayed `pending_cleanup` with `cleanup_status=failed` and no
stop receipt. Continuation admission
(`server/src/services/explicit-native-continuation.ts`) requires a stop
receipt on every remote lease of the failed run. So each Retry and
comment was deferred with "Waiting for the previous environment to stop.
Your message will start automatically." It never started.

A manual Daytona `POST /api/sandbox/{id}/recover` fixed it. The
sandboxes reached `started` in about one minute. The next sweep stopped
them, recorded the receipt, and the tasks continued.

**Expected behavior**

Stop-only cleanup recovers a recoverable errored sandbox and then stops
it. When the sandbox cannot be recovered, cleanup returns a clear, typed
failure that the server can tell apart from a transient error. Cleanup
never deletes the retained sandbox, and it never loops on Recover.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run a task in a Daytona sandbox until the sandbox fills its disk and
Daytona shows `state: error`, `recoverable: true`.
2. Let the run fail, so the server records a `sandboxStopAndRetain`
intent and calls `environmentStopLease`.
3. Before this change, Stop fails with `Sandbox failed to stop with
status: error` on every sweep, and the task cannot continue.
4. The new tests in `plugin.test.ts` reproduce this with a mock sandbox
whose Stop fails from `error`.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Observed on a hosted deployment. Reproduced in unit tests on `master` at
`6452e964a36`.

**Deployment mode**

Managed Daytona sandbox execution with plugin-backed stop-only cleanup.

Related: #18172 (Daytona exports under disk pressure) and #19050
(session reset on every Daytona restart path). This PR does not change
the resume path in `ensureSandboxStarted`, which already recovers a
recoverable sandbox.

## What Changed

- **Daytona plugin
(`packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona/src/plugin.ts`)**: after
`stopLease` confirms the retention policy, a sandbox in `error` goes
through `recoverSandboxForStop`.
- Recoverable: the hook calls `sandbox.recover()` once. The SDK waits
for `started`. The plugin bounds the wait to 20 s, plus the existing
liveness margin for a hung connection. Then the hook stops the sandbox
normally and returns the usual `stopped` receipt.
- Not recoverable: the hook makes no Recover or Stop call. It throws
`PluginEnvironmentStopError("resource_unrecoverable")`.
- Recover fails: the hook reads the provider state once. A sandbox back
in `error` gives `recovery_failed`, or `resource_unrecoverable` if
Daytona now marks it so. A sandbox that is still starting, or a failed
read, gives `recovery_incomplete`.
- The recovered sandbox fails again before Stop finishes (for example,
the disk fills again): a fresh read that shows `error` gives
`recovery_failed`. The hook never calls Recover a second time in the
same call.
- The hook never deletes or archives the sandbox. The non-error stop
path is unchanged.
- **Plugin SDK (`packages/plugins/sdk/src/environment-stop-error.ts`,
new)**: `PluginEnvironmentStopError`, `environmentStopErrorData` and
`readEnvironmentStopFailure`. This follows the existing
`PluginEnvironmentRunnerIngressError` pattern. The envelope holds only
one closed reason. The reader validates the reason and derives
`terminal` from it. `resource_unrecoverable` and `recovery_failed` are
terminal. `recovery_incomplete` is not.
- **Worker RPC host (`packages/plugins/sdk/src/worker-rpc-host.ts`)**:
forwards that envelope as JSON-RPC error `data` for
`environmentStopLease` only.
- **Pending cleanup sweep
(`server/src/services/heartbeat/recovery.ts`)**: the catch reads the
validated envelope.
- On a terminal failure, it escalates on the first attempt. It writes
the one-time "needs operator attention" warning and uses the existing 30
minute retry interval. Before, this happened only at the fifth attempt.
- The failure log uses `errorKind: "provider_stop_terminal"` and
includes the closed `providerStopFailure` reason. The sweep still never
logs exception fields.
- The lease stays `pending_cleanup`. Automatic cleanup continues, and an
explicit Retry still bypasses the cooldown. Untyped and transient
failures keep their current behavior.
- **Docs**: the SDK README ("Stop failures"), the Daytona README,
`doc/plugins/SANDBOX_PROVIDER_CAPABILITIES.md` and
`doc/native-workspace-finalization-recovery.md` describe the new
behavior.

Shared contract note (module boundaries): the SDK envelope is the
smallest addition that lets the host tell a terminal provider stop
failure from a transient one. The worker host drops all other error data
across the RPC boundary, so the existing contracts cannot carry the
signal. The only consumer is the pending cleanup sweep. When a provider
does not throw the new error, or an older host ignores it, behavior is
unchanged. This PR does not touch
`server/src/services/workspace-recovery.ts` or
`sandbox-stop-and-retain.ts`.

## Verification

All commands ran in a clean worktree from `master`. Vitest ran from the
real path.

- Red on `master` (only the new tests added):
- Daytona, with `plugin.ts` from `master`: `npx vitest run --config
vitest.config.ts src/plugin.test.ts -t "provider error state"` exits 1.
All 7 new tests fail. The main case fails with `Sandbox failed to stop
with status: error`, which is the production error.
- SDK, with `worker-rpc-host.ts` from `master`: `npx vitest run
tests/worker-rpc-host.test.ts -t "typed stop failure"` exits 1 (the
typed case fails).
- Server, with `recovery.ts` from `master`: `npx vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-pending-cleanup-sweep.test.ts -t "terminal
provider stop failure"` exits 1. All 3 cases fail (`errorKind:
"destroy_failed"`, no escalation).
- Green on this branch:
- `packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona`: `npx vitest run --config
vitest.config.ts` exits 0 (534 passed, 26 skipped live tests). `pnpm
typecheck` exits 0. `pnpm build` exits 0.
- `packages/plugins/sdk`: `npx vitest run` exits 0 (222 passed). `pnpm
--filter @paperclipai/plugin-sdk typecheck` exits 0.
- `server`: 15 related suites exit 0 (1498 passed): pending cleanup
sweep, `heartbeat/recovery`, environment runtime, environment cleanup
work, native startup cleanup, native remote failure retention, observed
workspace preservation, retained native session cleanup, idle sleep
safety, explicit native continuation, task retry, workspace recovery,
native failed and cancelled workspace preservation, and Daytona close in
the plugin worker manager.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` exits 0. `pnpm
check:module-boundaries` exits 0.
- New tests:
- Daytona: a recoverable errored sandbox is recovered once
(`recover(20)`) after the retention check and before Stop, then stopped.
An unrecoverable one returns `resource_unrecoverable` with no Recover,
Stop, start, delete or archive call. A failed recovery makes exactly one
Recover call for each outcome (`recovery_failed`,
`resource_unrecoverable`, `recovery_incomplete`). A Recover call that
never settles is cut off by the bound. A recovered sandbox that fails
again before Stop gives `recovery_failed` with no second Recover.
- SDK: the envelope holds only the reason. A forged or non-SDK error
gives no data. Unknown reasons, accessor fields and a sender-supplied
`terminal` flag are not trusted. The worker host forwards the typed
failure and drops a plain error's detail.
- Server: terminal reasons escalate on attempt 1 with the long retry and
one operator warning. `recovery_incomplete` keeps the short retry. The
lease stays `pending_cleanup`, and the provider message never reaches
the logs.
- Not run: the full `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm test:run`, `pnpm build`
and `pnpm run typecheck:build-gaps` repo checks. CI runs them. No live
Daytona probe ran. The mocks model the Daytona SDK `recover()` contract:
it waits for `started` and rejects when the sandbox returns to `error`.

## Risks

- Time budget: the host gives `environmentStopLease` at most 60 s. A
recovered stop uses up to 20 s for Recover and up to 30 s for Stop, plus
short reads. A slower recovery returns `recovery_incomplete`. The SDK
call can continue at Daytona after that, so the next sweep finds the
sandbox started and stops it normally. If the host deadline fires while
the worker still stops the sandbox, the next sweep sees `stopped` and
records the receipt.
- Classification: after a failed Recover, the plugin cannot tell a
rejected request from a sandbox that started and failed again. Both give
`recovery_failed` (terminal) when Daytona still shows `error`. A hung
Recover call with a sandbox still in `error` is also terminal. Terminal
failures still retry every 30 minutes, and each retry makes at most one
Recover call. An explicit Retry also makes one attempt. There is no
tight loop. A sandbox that fails Recover every time gets about two
Recover calls an hour until an operator acts.
- Recover restarts the sandbox container before Stop. The plugin runs no
command in it, and the retention policy is confirmed before Recover.
- The continuation message for a terminally failed lease still says the
message "will start automatically". This PR does not change admission. A
follow-up can use the typed reason there.
- Compatibility: a host without this change ignores the new error data
and keeps the old retry behavior. A plugin without this change sends no
typed data.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 f1516e8009 fix(native): stop a session.open model rejection instead of a doomed bootstrap retry (#19190)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native Runner runs start a provider session with the `session.open`
command before any prompt
> - A definite `session.open` rejection is treated as a pre-session
failure and gets a bounded same-run bootstrap retry
> - The runner also reports a closed classification. Two classifications
say that the provider cannot run the selected model:
`requested_model_unsupported` and `grok_model_mismatch`
> - Paperclip ignored that classification. It scheduled a retry that
must fail the same way. On a remote sandbox with a retained runner PID,
the due retry entered restart recovery. Restart recovery has no
checkpoint for a bootstrap retry, so it failed closed as
`native_restart_recovery_blocked` / `ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`
> - The task then stayed `blocked`. The recovery actions settled as
no-replay holds, so no active action told anyone to change the model,
and the parent task stalled too
> - This pull request classifies those two definite rejections as the
existing `native_provider_model_rejected` failure
> - The benefit is a terminal failure on the first attempt, an accurate
error, and an active board recovery action that names the next step:
choose a supported model

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
On a hosted staging instance, a Grok agent run failed at `session.open`.
The runner log said `ACPX sidecar command session.open was rejected
(retryable=false, classification=grok_model_mismatch)`. Paperclip
recorded `recoveryMode: "bootstrap_retry"` and scheduled a same-run
retry 30 seconds later. The run had a remote sandbox and a recorded
sandbox PID, so the due retry went to restart recovery. Restart recovery
found no checkpoint and no provider events and failed closed with
`ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`. The run ended as
`native_restart_recovery_blocked`. The task stayed `blocked` with no
active recovery action for more than one hour. Its parent task stayed
blocked on it.

**What did you expect to happen?**
The selected model cannot start, so a retry cannot succeed. The run
should fail once with the model-rejection error. The task should show
the existing "choose a model" action, owned by the board, until someone
changes the model and retries.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a native run whose `session.open` command fails with
`classification=grok_model_mismatch` (or `requested_model_unsupported`).
2. Read the `native_run_finalizations` row. Before this change it is
`retryable_failure` with `recoveryMode: "bootstrap_retry"` and a
`nextAttemptAt`.
3. On a remote sandbox run with a recorded PID, the due retry enters
restart recovery and fails as `native_restart_recovery_blocked`.

**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at `f5f5184f23`.

Related: #18910 routes due remote retries with a retained PID to restart
recovery. #18908 continues verified failed native preparation. Open PRs
#19177, #19180, #19182 and #19184 change no-replay hold settlement and
workspace hold release. They do not change this classification. This PR
does not duplicate them.

## What Changed

- `nativeSessionFailureSourceCode`
(`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.ts`)
returns `native_provider_model_rejected` for a definite `session.open`
failure or rejection whose runner classification is
`requested_model_unsupported` or `grok_model_mismatch`. Other definite
`session.open` rejections still return `provider_session_open_rejected`
and keep the bounded startup retry. An indeterminate `session.open`
outcome stays `native_session_interrupted`.
- `native_provider_model_rejected` is already a permanent failure. The
run stops on the first attempt with no `nextAttemptAt`, so it never
enters the restart-recovery retry path.
- When no provider session exists, the coordinator `nextAction` and the
board recovery action `nextAction` say: choose a supported model for
this agent, then retry the task.
- The existing product paths for `native_provider_model_rejected` apply:
the task presentation shows `choose_model`, and the recovery service
treats it as `configuration_incomplete`.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md` describes the rule under "Native provider
model capacity".

## Verification

Red before the fix (new test, unchanged production code):

```sh
cd server && npx vitest run src/services/native-runtime/native-startup-retry.integration.test.ts
# Tests 2 failed | 21 passed
# failureCode: native_session_interrupted, phase: retryable_failure, recoveryMode: bootstrap_retry,
# nextAction "Retry provider bootstrap on this same run ..." - the same record seen on staging
```

Green after the fix:

```sh
cd server && npx vitest run src/services/native-runtime/native-startup-retry.integration.test.ts
# Tests 23 passed

cd server && npx vitest run src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts \
  src/services/native-runtime/native-startup-retry.integration.test.ts src/services/task-interruption-presentation.test.ts
# Test Files 3 passed, Tests 1186 passed

pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck   # exit 0
```

The new integration cases use embedded PostgreSQL and the real executor
failure path. For both classifications they check:

- coordinator `terminal_failure`, `failureCode:
native_provider_model_rejected`, `nextAttemptAt: null`, attempt 1
- run `failed` with `errorCode: native_provider_model_rejected`
- task `blocked`, execution lock released
- an `active` board recovery action with cause
`native_provider_model_rejected`, return owner set to the agent, and the
choose-model next action
- `settleUnrecoverableExecutions` leaves the action `active`, so it does
not become a silent no-replay hold
- `claimNativeSessionResumptions` claims nothing, so there is no second
executor

The unit test also checks that `session_ensure_failed` keeps its bounded
retry and that an indeterminate model rejection stays unclassified.

A live Grok run with a mismatched model was not run. The failure record
in the test matches the staging record field by field.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change adds two closed runner classifications to an
existing permanent failure code. Other `session.open` rejections keep
their current retry.
- A model mismatch that a retry could fix would now need an explicit
retry. The runner already marks these rejections `retryable=false`.
- This PR does not change restart recovery. A remote bootstrap retry
with a retained sandbox PID for other `session.open` causes can still
fail closed as `ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`. That needs a
separate change with remote stop evidence.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 46a50a3bdd fix(recovery): release a recovered workspace hold for the new assignee after reassignment (#19184)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - When a board user reassigns a task in the middle of a run, Paperclip
stops the old run and saves its sandbox files (copy-back).
> - If copy-back fails at the stop, Paperclip records a
file-preservation hold for the stopped run. The hold blocks all
execution on the task until the files are recovered.
> - The new assignee's wakes were already queued. The final dispatch
gate saw the hold and cancelled them.
> - Automatic recovery then saved the files. But the hold stayed
effective for the new assignee: explicit continuation accepts only the
stopped run's own agent, so no message, Retry or stranded-work sweep
could start the new assignee.
> - The task stayed `in_progress` with no run, no wake and no active
recovery.
> - This pull request releases a recovered file-preservation hold for a
different current owner.
> - The benefit is that a reassigned task continues with its new owner
after its files are safe, with no manual action.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A board user reassigned a running native task from agent A to agent B
and posted a comment. A's run ended `cancelled` / `issue_reassigned`.
Copy-back was still in progress, so B's first run was cancelled
`workspace_busy`. Paperclip then recorded a resolved no-replay hold
(`native_continuation_requires_reconciliation`, fingerprint
`native-workspace:<A run>`). The final dispatch gate cancelled B's two
queued runs with `execution_reconciliation_required` ("Recovering saved
work…"). Automatic recovery then saved the files
(`workspaceRecovery.status = recovered`, `workspaceRepairRequired:
false`). The blocker still said "Saved work recovered. Send a message to
continue." with `canContinue: false`. The task stayed `in_progress` with
no run for hours. Two hosted reproductions had the same shape. A sibling
reassignment without a copy-back failure recovered normally.

**Expected behavior**
After the saved-file receipt verifies, the new assignee continues. The
hold must still block every executor while the files are not recovered.
The stopped run's own agent keeps its no-replay hold.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a native run on a task with a retained sandbox.
2. Reassign the task to another agent while the run executes, so that
copy-back records a `workspaceRestoreRecovery` hold.
3. Let automatic workspace recovery finish.
4. Before this change, `getExecutionBlocker` still returns the hold for
the new assignee, and the stranded-work sweep queues nothing.

**Paperclip version or commit**
`b9fbbf8d30` (also seen on `818d2bb6`).

**Deployment mode**
Hosted, PostgreSQL. The test uses embedded PostgreSQL.

Related open pull requests (checked; none covers this path): #19177
(board reconciliation of sibling holds), #19169 (disposition repairs
behind a cancelled blocker), #19143 (park a workspace-busy wait), #19149
(interrupt stop identity).

## What Changed

- New `restoreHoldReleasedForCurrentOwnerPredicate`
(`server/src/services/execution-blocker.ts`) is a SQL predicate. It
matches a file-preservation hold (`workspaceRestoreRecovery`, not
`restore_unsafe_archive`) when all of these are true:
  - the stopped run is terminal and finished;
- the task has an agent assignee, and that agent is not the stopped
run's agent;
  - the stopped run's agent is not the current review participant;
- `completedWorkspaceRecoveryCondition` is true for the hold: completed
system recovery, `workspaceRecovery.status = recovered`, succeeded
preservation operations bound to this hold, and the `workspace_finalize`
receipt;
- every saved operation is a copyback into the task workspace
(`workspace_recovery`). A snapshot-only save keeps the hold, because the
new owner's ordinary turn does not attach snapshots.
- The predicate is wrapped in `coalesce(..., false)`. Its negation
therefore cannot hide an unrelated hold through NULL JSON reads.
- The proof is the durable completed-recovery receipt. It does not read
live workspace authority (epoch, writer, snapshot), so reuse of the
workspace by the new owner cannot re-arm the hold.
- `getExecutionBlocker` excludes matching holds from both the
file-preservation query and the general blocker query. There is no scan
limit and no extra query per hold.
- `admitExplicitNativeContinuation` excludes the same holds from its
source checks. A released hold therefore cannot reject a new owner's
message with "owner changed".
- `completedWorkspaceRecoveryCondition` also accepts a SQL expression
for the run id. Its behavior is unchanged.
- The hold row, its `automaticRecovery.replay = "blocked"` evidence and
its status are not changed. If the task returns to the stopped run's
agent, the hold applies again.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md` describes the rule next to the existing
"Reassignment does not discard the stopped run's files" sentence.

## Verification

New test in `server/src/services/workspace-recovery.test.ts`: `hands a
reassigned task to its new assignee once the previous owner's files are
recovered`. It uses the real retained-workspace recovery, embedded
PostgreSQL and the real stranded-work sweep. It builds the incident
shape: a cancelled `issue_reassigned` source run, a resolved no-replay
hold, a new assignee, and that assignee's gate-cancelled run.

- Before recovery, the blocker holds the new owner
(`workspaceRepairRequired: true`).
- After recovery, the blocker is `null`. The sweep creates exactly one
pending turn for the new owner. That turn is not a retry of the stopped
run. A second sweep adds no turn.
- The hold row keeps `status: resolved`, `outcome: blocked` and `replay:
blocked`.
- Live repair evidence on the stopped run is then changed, so
`hasVerifiedWorkspaceRepair` returns false (as after a remote reuse).
The blocker stays `null`.
- After a reassignment back to the stopped run's agent, the hold applies
again.
- An unrelated reconciliation hold for the same stopped run, without
file evidence, still blocks the new owner.
- New test `keeps a snapshot-only recovery held for a new assignee`: the
snapshot-only save does not release the hold. This test fails against
the first revision of this pull request.

Red before the fix (test kept, `execution-blocker.ts` restored from
`master`):

```
cd server && npx vitest run src/services/workspace-recovery.test.ts -t "hands a reassigned task"
AssertionError: expected { …(13) } to be null   (blocker: "Saved work recovered. Send a message to continue.", canContinue: false)
```

With only the blocker assertion removed, the sweep also failed:
`expected [] to have a length of 1 but got +0`.

Green after the fix: 1 passed.

Related suites, all pass (991 tests): `workspace-recovery`,
`execution-blocker-read`, `legacy-explicit-continuation-recovery`,
`workspace-restore-reconciliation`, `native-failed-workspace-recovery`,
`workspace-restore-repair-route`, `execution-projection-recovery`,
`heartbeat-undispatched-execution-wait`,
`issue-update-comment-wakeup-routes`,
`heartbeat-observed-workspace-preservation`,
`native-workspace-reconstruction`, `explicit-native-continuation`.

Not run: a live run on a deployed instance. The hosted incident tasks
are not recovered by this pull request until it is deployed.

## Risks

- A new owner can start after the files are recovered, while the stopped
run's action outcomes stay unknown. This matches the existing rule for
holds without a workspace: Paperclip does not create those holds for a
reassigned task. The new owner gets a fresh turn, not a replay.
- The hold still blocks every executor until the exact receipt verifies,
so there is no second executor on the workspace during copy-back.
- Other execution holds (non-workspace holds recorded before a
reassignment) keep their current effect. This change does not alter
them.
- A reassignment after a snapshot-only save still needs a board action,
as before. That path is not changed here.
- The release is one correlated `exists` in the existing blocker
queries. Its subqueries use primary keys and the run and issue indexes.

## Model Used

and code execution in Claude Code.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19108, #19038, #18943.

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

DottaandPaperclip dbbde744d2 fix(workspaces): preserve finalized recovery holds through offline import (#19180)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Offline workspace import must save files before local volume
removal.
> - A task recovery hold can remain after native file finalization
succeeds.
> - The old importer rejects that hold even when its file source is
exact and no controller owns the run.
> - Clearing the hold would discard the task's recovery obligation.
> - This pull request saves files and carries each exact recovery source
forward without resolving the hold.
> - Accepted-result finalizers keep their existing retry path.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19144, #18943, #19038. This PR builds on merged #19144.

**What happened?**

Offline import reports `workspace_recovery_unresolved` for terminal
native runs with finalized workspace references and active task recovery
holds. Some holds also name an exact historical file allocation.

**Expected behavior**

Save the workspace durably. Keep task warnings, recovery rows, results,
coordinator phases and task pointers unchanged. Retain exact future file
recovery and accepted-result finalization retries.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Retain a local task workspace and an active recovery hold for a
finalized native run.
2. Stop all application writers through offline maintenance.
3. Attempt workspace import.
4. Observe that the old importer rejects the hold.

## What Changed

- Add an owner module that checks the exact terminal native run,
finalized reference, released ownership and task relationship.
- Require the normal finalizer's successful company/run/task receipt for
an accepted-result retry. Support historical receipts without a
workspace foreign key.
- Validate recorded file allocations with the existing recovery-source
owner.
- Journal and recheck hold evidence. Lock recovery, coordinator, run and
allocation rows before publication.
- Give finalized file sources a separate migration marker. Keep legacy
execution-replay suppression out of accepted-result retry paths.
- Use the owning parser for older finalized references that omit
optional fields.
- Redirect future file recovery to immutable snapshot preservation. Keep
provider-stop and source checks intact.
- Verify native copyback or snapshot receipts for each exact allocation.
Require proof for every source, including completed mixed repairs.
- Retain existing successful copyback receipts. Keep a historical
folder's obligation on its real source workspace.
- Retain the finalized migration marker through the execution blocker
projection. Discover finalized child-task sources from their exact
ancestor workspace reference.
- Document the receipt and lock contracts.

## Verification

- Fresh local run at head 6ebe535751: 208
tests pass across the new preservation suite, migration suite,
publication concurrency suite and legacy restore recovery suite.
- `node ../node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run --config vitest.config.ts
src/services/finalized-workspace-recovery-migration.test.ts
src/services/remote-workspace-migration-concurrency.test.ts
src/services/remote-workspace-migration.test.ts
src/__tests__/legacy-workspace-restore-recovery.test.ts` from `server/`.
- Comment-only cleanup `a858d203c68a6c86fd39e30fb63dc56c1a303429`
removes added prose comments under CONTRIBUTING.md. TypeScript 6.0.3
output with `removeComments: true` is byte-identical before and after
for all six changed TypeScript files. Runtime behavior and the 208-test
evidence are unchanged; no new tests were added for this cleanup.
- The two file-restoration cases fail against the original importer with
`workspace_recovery_unresolved`.
- Positive tests delete the old folder and restore the saved archive.
They compare unchanged task, recovery, result and coordinator rows.
- Negative controls cover unknown kinds, mismatched sources, malformed
file markers, active ownership, active recovery and changed evidence
during upload.
- Red/green tests exercise getExecutionBlocker and the ancestor import
path. An accepted result without a successful finalize receipt remains
blocked.
- The mixed-receipt regression fails before the review fix and passes
afterward. A missing secondary receipt still blocks repair.
- Existing and future repair receipts remain readable. Accepted-result
finalization still returns its original successful receipt.
- Local server typechecking passed before the master replay. The
post-replay local check found a stale linked Runner declaration in
unchanged vendor code. Clean current-head CI Typecheck + Release
Registry and Build both pass.
- Greptile gives current head `a858d203c68a6c86fd39e30fb63dc56c1a303429`
5/5. All actionable findings are fixed and resolved.
- The prior CI run had one workspace shard cancelled after its spot
runner received a shutdown signal. No test assertion failed in that job.
That incomplete run was superseded by the equivalent comment-only
cleanup. The fresh full CI run passed on the current head; the original
infrastructure cancellation remains recorded here.
- [Current-head full
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41970385102)
passes: 54 success, one neutral and two skipped statuses, with no failed
or pending checks. Typecheck, tests and build pass.
- Ponytail's source review rates the behavior head 5/5. It did not
execute tests; the local and CI runs above supply execution evidence.
- No provider, serving migration or copied-data deployment acceptance is
claimed.

## Risks

- This path depends on the existing offline deployment fence. It does
not prove that providers stopped.
- Unknown or unverified source boundaries remain blocked.
- Migration receipts must remain exact. Missing or changed finalized
file-source receipts fail closed.
- Root maintainers own merge, deployment and copied-data acceptance
#19144 is already merged.

> - It keeps task state, branch ownership and recovery obligations
unchanged.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19138, #19144, #18826.

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

## What Changed

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

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

## Verification

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

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

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

## Risks

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 512fbea0bb fix(native): deliver messages saved while a native run finalizes (#19183)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A user can reply on a task while the agent's run is still finishing
> - A remote native run first commits its result and its status decision
(for example `done`). Then its sandbox environment settles (harness
backup, warm retention).
> - A message that arrives after the final turn took its input is saved
as a deferred receipt behind that run
> - The saved-message recovery path holds the receipt while the source
run still owns its environment lease or its workspace copy-back owner
> - Nothing notified that path when the lease or the owner settled, so
the messages waited for an unrelated company event
> - This pull request notifies the existing deferred-receipt work when a
run's environment lease settles or its workspace finalization owner is
released
> - The benefit is that messages sent while a run finalizes are
delivered once, soon after the run settles, and a task closed in that
window is reopened for them

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A user posted three plain comments on a task while the agent's remote
native run was finalizing. The final turn had already called its finish
tool. The comments were saved in one deferred receipt. The run then
committed `done` and its status became `succeeded`. No follow-up run
started. The task stayed `done` with three unanswered requests. About 20
minutes later, an unrelated event in the same company woke the
deferred-receipt worker, and the messages were delivered.

**Expected behavior**
A message that arrives after the last turn took its input, but before
the run releases, gets one follow-up turn as soon as the run settles. If
finalization marked the task `done` in that window, the task is reopened
for the message. Messages that the finished turn already consumed are
not replayed.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a native run with a remote (sandbox) environment.
2. After the agent calls its finish tool, post a user comment on the
task.
3. Let finalization commit `done` and project the run as `succeeded`.
4. Observe that the comment's deferred receipt stays
`deferred_issue_execution` after the environment lease settles.

**Root cause**
A remote native run is finished by native finalization, which projects
the terminal status. The in-process run completion
(`releaseIssueExecutionAndPromote`) does not run for it. Its saved
messages depend on the stranded-queue sweep in
`resumeDeferredExecutionReceipts`, which calls the release with
`resumeStrandedQueue`. That release correctly waits while
`hasPendingRunCleanup` is true (an unsettled environment lease or a
workspace finalization owner). Finalization notifies the
deferred-receipt worker when it projects the run, but the cleanup is
still pending at that time. The worker then drops the entry. Lease
settlement and owner release did not notify the worker again.

Refs #19122 (saves a redirect sent while a stopped run settles; this
change reuses the same deferred-receipt delivery path for normally
completing runs).

## What Changed

- `environmentService.releaseLease` notifies deferred-execution work for
the company when a run's lease leaves `active` or `pending_cleanup`
(released, retained, or failed).
- `environmentService.releaseLeasesForRun` notifies deferred-execution
work in the same way.
- `withNativeWorkspaceFinalizationOwnership` notifies deferred-execution
work when it releases its owner.
- Delivery uses the existing path: `resumeDeferredExecutionReceipts` →
stranded-queue release → deferred wake promotion (with the existing
reopen rule for user messages). No new delivery mechanism.
- New regression in `deferred-execution-receipt-work.test.ts` with the
real deferred-receipt worker, the real release adapter, and the real
lease service.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: one additive paragraph for messages sent
while a run finalizes.

## Verification

- Staging evidence (read-only): the task's saved queue held the three
comments as one `deferred_issue_execution` receipt after the run
succeeded. The run had no `run succeeded` lifecycle event (it was
finished by native finalization, not run completion). The receipt was
promoted about 20 minutes later with `reopenedFrom: done` by the same
recovery path.
- Red before the fix: the new test failed with `expected null to be
truthy` (the receipt stayed deferred with no run after the lease
settled).
- Green after the fix: `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/deferred-execution-receipt-work.test.ts -t "finishing
native run"`.
- Safety cases in the new test:
- The receipt stays deferred while the environment lease is active
(cleanup holds still apply).
- After settlement, exactly one run carries both messages in order, and
the done task is reopened once.
  - A second settlement signal does not deliver the messages again.
- Related suites: `deferred-execution-receipt-work`,
`environment-service`, `environment-cleanup-work`,
`native-environment-settlement-work`, `idle-sleep-safety`.
- Not done: a live staging reproduction at the fixed revision.
Deployment is out of scope.

## Risks

- The deferred-receipt worker reloads the company's deferred receipts
after each run lease settlement. Each reload is bounded and runs only
when deferred receipts exist. The notification is transactional, so a
rolled-back release does not wake the worker.
- Low risk: no schema change, no API change, and no change to admission
or reopen rules.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, in Claude Code with
tool use (shell, file edits, browser for read-only staging diagnostics).

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 06826915d7 fix(dispatch): park a workspace-busy wait instead of recreating runs (#19143)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Child tasks can reuse their parent's execution workspace. Only one
run at a time may write in a shared sandbox workspace.
> - A run that finds the workspace held by another live run waits with a
`workspace_busy` scheduled retry.
> - That wait cancelled the run and created a new retry run every 60–120
seconds, until the holder ended. Each check made one cancelled run
record.
> - Three sibling tasks that waited for a parent made 15 cancelled runs
in 13 minutes. They also got the workspace in random order, not in
arrival order.
> - This pull request keeps the waiting run as one parked retry while
its holder is live, and wakes it when the holder ends.
> - The benefit is a clean run history, a prompt handoff, and fair
arrival-order access to a shared workspace.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18691 (the workspace wait for a live holder). Refs #19075 (sends a
stopped writer with a pending save into the same wait). Refs #12587 (an
earlier proposal about fairness for this retry).

**What happened?**
A parent task delegated three subtasks that inherit its execution
workspace. Each subtask run was created, then cancelled with
`workspace_busy` ("Shared execution workspace is busy: run … is still
running"), then created again about every 1.5–2 minutes. One subtask got
8 cancelled runs, one got 5, and one got 2. Every cancellation named a
holder that was really running: first the parent run, then the sibling
that got the workspace. So serialization was correct. The cost was the
churn of run records, and the subtask that waited first ran last.

**Expected behavior**
A run that needs a busy shared workspace waits as one durable record. It
continues when the holder finishes. Siblings that wait for one workspace
get it one at a time, in arrival order. Two writers never share the
workspace, and the user can still stop a waiting run.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Bind two or more issues to one shared execution workspace in a
sandbox environment.
2. Keep a run live on one issue (the holder).
3. Wake the other issues. Before this change, each due check promotes
the retry, cancels it with `workspace_busy`, and creates a new retry
run. After this change, the retry stays parked until the holder ends.

Observed on staging at `53735db7`. The code is unchanged on `master`.

## What Changed

- `finalizeWorkspaceBusyDeferral` records
`contextSnapshot.workspaceBusyWait` = `{ key, holderRunId, waitingSince
}`. The key is `execution:<id>` or `project:<id>`. `waitingSince`
carries over when the run defers again for the same workspace.
- New `server/src/modules/run-dispatch/adapters/workspace-busy-wait.ts`:
- `parkWorkspaceBusyRetryInTx` runs in the scheduled-retry promotion
transaction, after the existing gate allows the retry. If the recorded
holder is still running and is not stale, or an earlier waiter for the
same workspace is still scheduled, queued, or running, the retry stays
`scheduled_retry`. Only its deadline moves. It does not create a run, an
event, or a wake. The fallback deadline is 5 minutes, and never later
than the holder's one-hour stale point.
- `wakeWorkspaceBusyWaitersInTx` runs in the transaction that ends a
running run (`writeRunStatus`). It makes due the retries that wait for
that run, and the retries that wait for the same workspace as that run.
It registers the scheduled-retry dispatch notification before the write.
- `WORKSPACE_BUSY_HOLDER_STALE_AFTER_MS` moves to the run-dispatch
domain, so the deferral gate and the parked check use one value.
`heartbeat/retries.ts` exports it again.
- A retry without a recorded wait (for example, a retry from before this
change) keeps the old behavior.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md` describes the parked wait.

## Verification

- Red before the fix, green after
(`server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-busy.test.ts`, "reused shared
execution workspace in a sandbox"):
- "waits on a live holder in one parked run, then runs once when the
holder ends": before, the retry was promoted while the holder was live.
After, it stays parked through due checks at +1 s, +10 min, and +30 min.
Ending the holder makes it due at once. It runs exactly once, and there
is only one `workspace_busy` cancellation.
- "hands the workspace to three waiting siblings in arrival order, one
writer at a time": before, nothing woke the waiters when the holder
ended. After, exactly one waiter is admitted per handoff, in arrival
order. Each runs once, and there are 3 cancellations in total (one first
deferral for each sibling).
- "still lets the user stop a parked waiter": before, the waiter was
promoted while the holder was live. After, Stop cancels the parked
retry, and nothing brings it back.
- Safety case (green before and after): "lets a stale holder reach the
existing quiet-holder failure instead of parking forever".
- `npx vitest run src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-busy.test.ts`: 35
passed.
- `heartbeat-remote-workspace-busy`, `heartbeat-retry-scheduling`,
`src/modules/run-dispatch`, `heartbeat/retries.test.ts`,
`execution-projection.test.ts`: 266 of 267 passed. The one failure,
"records pre-provider quota rejection…", is a timing flake on a loaded
machine and passes when it runs alone. It does not use this path.
- `tsc --noEmit` reports no errors in the changed files.
- Staging evidence was read only. This change is not deployed.

## Risks

- One extra indexed `SELECT … FOR UPDATE` on `scheduled_retry` rows when
a running run ends. The update and the notification happen only when
waiters exist.
- If an earlier waiter stays queued for a long time (for example, its
agent is paused), later waiters for the same workspace wait behind it.
Each check is a deadline update, not a run. The fallback check runs
every 5 minutes.
- A remote writer that has ended but has not finished its save (#19075)
is not parked, because its run is no longer `running`. Such a wait can
still make a small number of deferrals until the save settles.
- Low migration risk: no schema change. Old retries without the new
context key keep the old behavior.

file edits, browser read of staging run records) in Claude Code.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18943, #19038, #19138.

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 7c66b6b1f6 test(onboarding): cover plan, hiring, and execution approval history (#19069)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent work and human decisions.
> - Onboarding can approve a plan, a hire, and an execution step in
separate turns.
> - Tests covered single approvals more closely than that full history.
> - The repaired gate must retain valid plan approval through later
decisions.
> - Every consumer must recognize the saved confirmation kind and
selected scope.
> - This change tests that contract and registers a complete
interview-to-execution journey.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19043, #17914, #18283.

The earlier tests admitted one accepted proposal at a time.
Decomposition fixtures used standard confirmations. The direct-task E2E
path forbids hiring. Those cases did not cover an accepted checkbox plan
followed by hiring and a separate untargeted execution approval.

## What Changed

- Add eight PostgreSQL contract cases for standard and checkbox plan
approvals. Native tools create the cards. An authenticated human accepts
them through HTTP. A later native run reads the approved revision and
actual selected scope.
- Exercise native task creation, generic REST creation, child REST
creation, and accepted-plan decomposition. Check the assigned child and
one creation audit event. Check durable replay on the three entry points
that support it. A pending execution confirmation still prevents
creation.
- Register the explicit-only `onboarding-approval-history` suite for
local native Codex and ACPX Claude. The browser chooses the interview,
selects only drafting in the saved plan, approves one writer hire, and
approves a separate Start drafting confirmation. The model must hire the
writer and use that writer's own child execution to save the welcome
document.
- Grade each human decision, the unchanged plan revision and selection,
approval timing, one assigned child and worker execution, the exact
writer-authored saved revision, no pending requests, and persistence
after reload. Calibrate the oracle against missing, forged, premature,
duplicate, and changed outcomes.
- Preserve synthetic option choices, document/run bindings, and saved
revision authorship in the existing public first-task evidence
projection. Keep private provider/account data excluded. Document the
workflow, evidence, billing, and cleanup bounds.
- Align the approval-history fixture with its completion oracle: the
onboarding parent must be Done. Test both native profiles against graded
completion evidence and reject a completed child whose parent remains In
review. Count parent heartbeats separately from the writer: accept one
to seven parent records while retaining the twelve-company-run cap and
the independent three-approval/one-writer oracle.
- Retain the existing 52-cell first-task suite. The new suite has one
attempt, seven expected work turns, a twelve-run maximum, a
fifteen-minute deadline, and the existing $5 company task budget. It is
excluded from `--all`.
- Update two stale cleanup assertions to include the existing
thirty-second deletion timeout.

## Verification

- Red control: temporarily restore the pre-fix admission module and run
the new checkbox/native history case. It fails with the expected
`First-task proposal requires human acceptance` error after plan,
hiring, and execution acceptance. Restore the repaired module after the
probe.
- The final post-rebase history matrix and existing onboarding safety
suite passed together: 74 tests, no skips.
- Final focused Runner E2E support passed: 413 Vitest tests and all 370
Node support checks. This covers catalog discovery, journey controls,
wrong-outcome calibration, public evidence, and existing first-task
behavior.
- Review controls: four authorship cases fail before the revision check.
A delayed browser-response control fails before the approval-time fix.
Both pass after repair. The final oracle requires the exact current
document revision, writer ID, native child run ID, matching body, and
readback after reload.
- Credential-free discovery lists both new native cells. No provider
call was made. `OPENAI_API_KEY` and `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` are absent, so
the real provider journey remains unqualified.
- The earlier broad credential-free E2E support run reported 6,728
passing cases, three skipped cases, and nine failures in three unrelated
files. All nine reproduce with the changed E2E source restored to the
unchanged baseline: three expired overhead-fixture cases, one stale Pi
profile-version assertion, and five workflow security assertions. This
change does not alter those files, paid workflow policy, or provider
pins.
- Previous full workspace typecheck/build and [Linux
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41921754638)
passed on `4f431f5aae99d072cc75027e90d7b847b4c342ca`, including the new
eight-case PostgreSQL file. Ponytail subsequently found a fixture/oracle
terminal-status mismatch. Both native-cell controls fail on that fixture
(`done` observed versus `in_review` expected), while the
parent-in-review negative control passes. A second comparison uses the
actual `matchesRunCount` predicate: graded evidence with six parent runs
and one writer run fails the old exact-seven-parent requirement. Both
fixes pass these controls, all 413 focused support tests, all 370 Node
checks, and the owning E2E project typecheck. [Fresh
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41936699686)
passed on `91c980b110252da451b92eda597c168517de1276`: 48 successful jobs
and one expected skip. Greptile reviewed this head at 5/5 with no
unresolved findings. Ponytail's terminal-status finding is fixed and its
thread is resolved; its current-head re-review remains queued. Live
provider cells remain unqualified.

## Risks

The production API and approval gate are unchanged. The new paid journey
can expose model or product failures at an intermediate approval
boundary. It retains those failures and uses the existing diagnostics
and cleanup. Registration and deterministic tests do not establish a
live provider pass. The unrelated baseline support failures remain
explicit.

## Model Used

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

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 5fdfd3f17a fix(recovery): bound repeated saved-record response bodies (#19168)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent tasks and their saved execution history.
> - A continuation carries completed API receipts to prevent duplicate
work.
> - Repeated saves can copy large record bodies into each new provider
prompt.
> - The resulting command can exceed the durable PRP frame limit before
useful work starts.
> - This change projects large successful saved-record responses as
compact references.
> - The original receipts and authenticated user direction remain
available.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A task with many saved document and comment responses can fail with
`command_payload_too_large`. Same-run recovery can then show a runner
identity failure that hides this first cause. Completed response bodies
repeat content already stored in task records.

**Expected behavior**

Continue from saved records with completed-action evidence that fits the
runner command. Keep user messages, answers and approvals intact. Keep
the full original receipts.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Save 39 successful document, comment and task-write responses in a
run's API receipt ledger.
2. Give each response a large record body.
3. Build and render a continuation, then queue it through the real
durable PRP journal.
4. Before this fix, the regression throws `command_payload_too_large`
with a 4.2 MB prompt.

Related work: #16980 pages oversized assigned tool results. This change
addresses earlier response bodies repeated in a later continuation. It
does not change tool-result paging or protocol limits.

## What Changed

- Project response data over 4 KiB for three known successful
record-write operations. Keep record, revision and status metadata, HTTP
outcome, receipt identity and a data digest.
- Keep small, failed, unknown, mismatched and foreign-company results in
their existing form.
- Explain the reference format in shared prompt guidance and the
execution contract.
- Add database and real-journal regression coverage. Verify the original
receipt ledger remains unchanged.

The continuation service owns the projection. The shared adapter helper
only explains the reference to native and legacy prompt consumers. There
are no new dependencies, provider calls, timers or background scans.

## Verification

- The unfixed database regression fails at the real PRP command limit
with `command_payload_too_large`.
- Continuation builder, native execution input and native continuation
suites: 118 tests pass.
- Shared prompt consumers: 142 tests pass.
- Module boundaries and diff whitespace checks pass.
- Greptile: 5/5 on `8109e7361c5b5e38f9aad35af9bf4ad7bdc5f338`, with no
unresolved review threads. All CI checks pass.
- Full workspace `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build`: passed.
- Hosted verification: pending deployment. The source fix does not
itself resume the affected hosted task.

Local setup failures remain accounted for: the fresh checkout lacked an
ignored root SDK link and embedded PostgreSQL library symlinks after an
offline install that skipped lifecycle scripts. The maintained
workspace-link helper, SDK build and platform hydration script repaired
those prerequisites. A later test expectation assumed JSON insertion
order across PostgreSQL JSONB; it now checks the digest against the
unchanged stored receipt. These failures did not change runtime limits
or recovery guards.

## Risks

Large responses from these three successful operations now use explicit
saved-record references in continuation context. Agents must read the
record or source receipt when full content is needed. This is not a
universal prompt-size limit: user history, unknown operations and other
inputs retain their existing representation. No migration, permission,
credential, provider-stop or replay policy changes.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol (`gpt-6.1-sol`), xhigh reasoning, through Codex in T3
Code. Used for investigation, implementation and local verification. No
subagents.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 94fccc3180 fix(workspaces): preserve snapshots beside runtime sockets (#19159)
## Thinking Path

> - A workspace can contain saved source files alongside transient
runtime IPC endpoints.
> - The portable archive supports files, directories and confined
symlinks; treating a Unix socket as a fatal entry prevents every file
beside it from being saved.
> - Keep the existing archive owner and validation. Record socket paths
as exclusions, leaving the source endpoint and adjacent work intact.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Retained workspace recovery repeatedly fails with
`remote_workspace_archive_unsupported_entry` when the source tree
contains a Unix socket, preventing adjacent source files from being
saved. A real socket reproduces the error in local capture and the
serialized sandbox helper.

**Expected behavior**

Save regular workspace files, record runtime socket paths as exclusions,
and leave the source endpoints and new file edits intact.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a temporary workspace with an uncommitted text file.
2. Open a Unix domain socket in that directory with a Node server.
3. Capture the workspace through the local archive function or generated
sandbox helper. Before this fix both captures fail; afterward the saved
file restores and the socket exclusion is recorded.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `6fa54d55779295d90c455389cebdd3da96607d20` before this
change. The socket fixture establishes this failure class; it does not
establish the entry type behind every historical unsupported-entry
occurrence.

## What Changed

- Exclude Unix domain socket endpoints from portable workspace captures
and include their paths in the existing exclusion manifest.
- Keep source sockets in place. Preserve normal files and the existing
rejection of named pipes, device entries and unsafe links.
- Exercise local and serialized capture, an unchanged source endpoint,
restoration of adjacent uncommitted work, FIFO rejection, and a socket
becoming a real file during capture. A changed source still fails safely
and retains that new file.
- Document the portable snapshot behavior.

## Verification

- Red regression: both local and serialized captures failed with
`remote_workspace_archive_unsupported_entry` before the change.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/services/remote-workspace-snapshot-archive.test.ts`: **43
passed** using real filesystem sockets, pipes, Git repositories and
archives.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build`: passed.
- Module boundaries and `git diff --check`: passed. Added source and PR
text were scanned for credentials, private incident identifiers and
personal data before push.
- Snapshot storage and save-concurrency consumer suites pass **23
tests**. Their first local runs exposed missing workspace SDK build
links and unhydrated macOS embedded-Postgres library symlinks in the new
checkout. Repairing those prerequisites made the unchanged consumer
suites pass; the earlier failures remain recorded and no assertion was
weakened.
- Greptile reviewed `e313565a5088abce448f11b29982462aa338a692` at
**5/5** with no unresolved threads. All current-head CI checks are green
and the branch is conflict-free. Hosted recovery needs a qualified
deployment and original-task verification.

## Risks

Socket endpoints represent runtime IPC and are not recreated by archive
restore. Their paths are visible in the existing exclusion manifest.
This adds no archive entry type, subprocess, recurring work, provider
call or dependency. It does not alter source authorization, stop
receipts, ordinary file validation, restore safety or recovery budgets.
Unix socket/FIFO fixtures are skipped on Windows; existing portable
archive coverage still runs there.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol (`gpt-6.1-sol`) through Codex, xhigh reasoning. Used
repository tools, code execution and real local filesystem/process
fixtures.

c2cc69d1e4 fix(recovery): resume and settle preserved native results (#19034)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native execution can save an accepted result before workspace export
fails.
> - Recover must preserve the files and settle that same result without
another agent turn.
> - The export failure can own the task's Blocked transition and its
recovery notice.
> - Recovery must prove preservation, stop, source identity and current
authority before settlement.
> - Recover can also transfer repair ownership to the system, which must
keep explicit board export repair available.
> - This change restores those paths while preserving later task state,
live owners and unknown action outcomes.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related #17916 protects unfinished exports. Related #19004 preserves
deliberate Retry authority. This change repairs accepted-result
finalization and its recovery notice.

**What happened?**

A native run accepted its result, then exhausted workspace export.
Normal Recover could save the files but leave the result and old
recovery notice unsettled. A saved Retry could also use a different
generation from preservation. Separately, Recover changed the action
owner from board to system. Explicit export Retry then rejected that
same source as stale, even when its accepted result and stopped
allocation still matched.

**Expected behavior**

Preserve files, finish the original accepted result and close only its
obsolete notice after exact proof. Keep explicit board export repair
available after system adoption. Preserve current authority, Stop, later
task changes, newer execution and every physical ownership fence.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Accept a native result and exhaust its workspace export.
2. Request ordinary Recover, optionally with an existing saved Retry.
3. Let file preservation complete. Inspect the task and source recovery
notice.
4. To reproduce the explicit-repair defect, call export Retry after
Recover adopts the action. Before this repair it rejects the valid
system-owned source before any provider call.

## What Changed

- Record the exact accepted result, contract, task status version and
prior decision when export exhaustion creates Blocked.
- Bind passive finalization to complete, source-bound preservation and
the current chat/review authority. Recheck the proof under status commit
locks.
- Keep the saved Retry identity separate from its preservation
generation. Retain coalescing and reject malformed or mismatched
history.
- Preserve an existing published GitHub assessment for the
no-publication status-unproven wait. Keep all semantic, result,
authority and publication checks.
- Close an old export notice only after its own accepted result, export
or preservation receipts, effects, projection and old Runner ownership
settle. Keep newer work and files unchanged.
- Permit explicit board export Retry after Recover transfers the exact
source to the system. Require valid system and workspace recovery
records for that same run, plus every existing result, stop, allocation,
task and shared physical-lock check. Reject missing proof, another
source and agent ownership before provider access.
- Merge current master while retaining the stronger Stop, source and
verified preservation checks.
- Update the execution contract. No schema, endpoint, Runner protocol,
model, trust or provider artifact change.

## Verification

- Current head: `9be5a73489801095c9f39c9bfcb285a22b055912`.
- The explicit-repair regression fails before the new guard change:
ordinary Recover adopts the real database action, then export Retry
rejects it as stale. It passes after the repair.
- On the merged source, three owning PostgreSQL/file suites pass **220
tests**: `preserved-native-response-wait.integration.test.ts`,
`native-workspace-export-retry.test.ts` and
`idle-completed-history.test.ts`. The export suite includes four
unrelated-owner/source rejection controls and both board-owned and
system-adopted active-exporter controls. Results and run counts prove
that repair creates no provider turn.
- Server layered typecheck, module boundaries, `git diff --check`, and
the added-line secret/private-incident scan pass.
- Full workspace typecheck (`pnpm -r typecheck`) and build (`pnpm
build`) pass. The complete local `pnpm test:run` is still running; its
completed serialized chat partitions pass. Current-head CI is green (53
successful checks, 3 expected skips). Greptile reviewed
`9be5a73489801095c9f39c9bfcb285a22b055912` at 2026-11-05 00:58 UTC with
confidence **5/5**; all review threads are resolved.
- Original qualification remains supporting evidence: the
accepted-result fixture exercises HTTP Recover, real files, the
finalizer, saved Retry coalescing, eight commit races, current
principal/resource/head changes, Stop, later task changes, notice
closure and repeated delivery. No accepted response, provider turn or
publication is replayed.
- Earlier failures remain recorded. Original red controls exposed
wrong-action preservation, unrelated finalization barriers, generation
mismatch and a lost GitHub assessment; the original repair added
controls for them. The prior CI run
[41908572248](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41908572248)
failed an unchanged completed-history runtime fixture because its
loopback service refused connections through the original ten-second
readiness window. That owning suite passes unchanged in the 220-case run
above. The earlier readiness failure's cause remains unproven; no wait
or assertion was weakened.
- Local and CI tests do not establish hosted task recovery. The serving
revision and original-task outcomes require separate verification after
rollout.

## Risks

- Historical failures without the exact export-owned Blocked receipt
keep their current task status. A saved result does not grant execution
or publication authority.
- Explicit export repair still resumes only the same retained allocation
under the shared physical lock. It cannot take over an active exporter,
create another agent turn, choose a replacement sandbox or discard saved
files.
- Retiring a source notice does not release physical resources or modify
a newer task owner, later Done state or saved snapshot history.
- The proof adds bounded reads only for concrete recovery obligations.
It adds no recurring worker or polling timer.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex for the original repair. OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol
(`gpt-6.1-sol`), xhigh reasoning, for the merge, integration
verification and system-adopted export repair. Both used repository
tools, code execution and PostgreSQL tests. The runtime does not expose
a context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 9e5039f6c8 fix(daytona): retain duplex close ownership after lease cleanup (#19150)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Remote agents use provider plugins to manage sandbox leases and
duplex channels.
> - The host verifies the exact route and session when a bound channel
closes.
> - Daytona lease teardown removed that binding before a later host
close.
> - The incomplete reply made the host retire the shared worker. A later
command then failed during setup.
> - This pull request retains bounded close receipts and joins the
original cleanup.
> - Later work can use the same worker while invalid or unconfirmed
closes still fail closed.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A normal lease teardown can close a duplex channel before the host
closes its bound route. Daytona then replies with only the route ID. The
host requires the original session ID too. It logs `duplex channel close
not acknowledged; retiring worker`, stops the worker, and rejects a
later `environmentExecute` call as stopped.

**Expected behavior**

A later close must identify the original route and session and join its
existing cleanup. It must not revive the channel or restart the worker.
Unknown ownership and an unconfirmed close must retain the existing
failure behavior.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Acquire two leases through one Daytona provider worker.
2. Open a duplex channel on the first lease.
3. Release that lease, then close the bound channel through the host.
4. Execute a command on the second lease.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The real host/worker regression fails on
`69dea878c0b920b335594debb0286443ba9f6c35`. This branch includes master
`3a72efebe5b050e7594bb309e71a0d5f3072db00`.

**Deployment mode**

Managed Daytona sandbox execution in Cloud. The regression uses a local
real host and SDK worker. Only the external Daytona SDK and PTY are
simulated.

Related work: Refs #19004, Refs #10429, Refs #18065, Refs #19050. These
cover task Retry, managed worker startup, drain release, and stale
provider sessions.

## What Changed

- Retain at most 4096 retired route/session bindings with their original
close promises.
- Remove live channel authority before cleanup starts. Concurrent and
later closes join the same promise and return the stored binding.
- Reject reuse of a retained route ID. Keep unknown and evicted routes
unable to provide a session acknowledgement.
- Add a real child-process host/SDK-worker/Daytona regression with only
the external Daytona SDK and PTY simulated.
- Cover release, cancellation, stop, destroy, resume, a stalled close,
concurrent closes, failed cleanup, forged IDs and bounded eviction.
- Document close receipt scope and its separate provider-termination
checks.

## Verification

- RED before the repair: the actual host and SDK worker reproduced the
retirement log, SIGKILL, stopped state, and later `environmentExecute`
rejection. The direct provider cases also failed because the session ID
was missing.
- Combined-branch provider suite: 364 passed.
- Combined-branch host manager, duplex, managed readiness and composed
suites: 142 passed. The final test-only manifest-loading change passed
all 6 composed cases again.
- Full repository typecheck (`node scripts/typecheck-low-memory.mjs`),
focused server types and the standalone Daytona build passed. The
provider build uses pinned SDK `0.203.0` and TypeScript `5.9.3`.
- The composed cases check the same worker/PID, one later command,
preserved saved content, revoked channel writes/stops, and continued
rejection of commands on closed leases. A stalled close still retires
the worker and dispatches no later command.
- Reproduce with `pnpm --dir server exec vitest run --config
vitest.config.ts
src/__tests__/plugin-worker-manager-daytona-close.test.ts` from a
checkout with the SDK build dependencies prepared. Run the provider
suite with its own Vitest config.
- An initial local typecheck lacked the excluded providers' SDK links
after an install with scripts disabled. The standard root postinstall
linker restored those local links, and full typechecking then passed.
The fixture loads its actual built manifest. Failed setup output is
retained; no type configuration was relaxed.
- The first two composed attempts stopped during fixture setup. They are
not the behavioral RED above. Their failed outputs are retained.
- The first broad local typecheck stopped at an IPC permission error
during preflight. It passed after rerunning with allowed local IPC and
the standard SDK links.
- [Full repository
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41945022881)
passed all 48 jobs on this head. Selection fell back to the complete
task plan, so the run was unfiltered. The complete check inventory has
54 successes and two expected Storybook skips; the separate Snyk status
passed. Fresh Greptile review on
`daebbeb5005b9d9bd59d32ea30094279048b9213` is [5/5 with no actionable
comments](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/19150#issuecomment-6646621914).
Independent production and fixture review found no actionable findings.
Hosted acceptance of this repair has not run.

## Risks

- A receipt removed at the 4096-entry bound cannot confirm an old bound
close. The existing host guard remains effective in that case.
- Close acknowledgements identify channels. They do not certify remote
process termination or clear unknown external work. Provider termination
receipts and existing recovery gates remain in force.
- Hosted evidence confirms the unacknowledged-close retirement class.
The historical log does not distinguish a missing session ID from a
timeout or another close error. The regression proves and repairs the
missing-binding path; it also preserves timeout retirement.
- The provider is outside the main pnpm workspace. A new Cloud image
must compile its changed source. The unchanged plugin version alone does
not prove activation.

## Model Used

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 11f2a5293d fix(native): name the proof that holds a recovered per-turn owner (#19061)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native Runner per-turn sessions in a remote sandbox keep one
conversation across task turns.
> - A follow-up must prove that the previous Runner owner is finished
before it starts a new Runner. #18846 added a retirement path for an
owner that finished without a saved Runner checkpoint.
> - On a test deployment, follow-ups still fail with
`runner_state_identity_mismatch:
prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate`. The retirement path has about
twenty separate fences, and each refusal gives the same error.
> - The read-only run data cannot tell which fence held these runs. A
code fix without that evidence would be a guess.
> - This pull request names the first failed retirement proof in the
error. Admission behavior does not change.
> - The benefit is that the next failure on a deployment identifies the
exact fence, so the follow-up fix can target it.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18846 (retirement of recovered per-turn owners). Refs #18992
(settlement from live state).

**What happened?**

On a test deployment, 16 runs in one day failed before provider work
with `runner_state_identity_mismatch:
prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate`. All were per-turn
`acpx_runtime` runs in a Daytona sandbox, and each got a new sandbox. In
the runs that I inspected, the previous run committed its result. In one
of them, `harness_state.backup.persist` and `session.checkpoint.persist`
ran for about 346 seconds and failed, so the Runner left no suspension
receipt or failover backup. That is the case that #18846 addresses, but
the follow-ups still failed. The run log does not show the retirement
message, and the error is the same for each fence. Thus the cause cannot
be found from the run data.

**Expected behavior**

When admission holds a follow-up, the error names the proof that failed.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Seed a per-turn sandbox owner that committed its result without a
Runner suspension receipt.
2. Make one retirement proof fail. For example, leave the owner phase
`observed`, or leave a `runner.suspend` command pending.
3. Admit a follow-up in a new sandbox.
4. Before this change, every case fails with the same error text.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Observed on a deployment before `e107a75755`. The same error text is on
`master`.

## What Changed

- `retireFinishedPerTurnRunnerdOwner` returns the refusal reason instead
of `false`. `readSettledRunnerdProjection` returns the journal refusal
reason instead of `null`.
- When admission tries the retirement and it fails, the error is
`prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate; retirement_refused=<reason>`.
A warm session gets no suffix, because retirement does not apply to it.
- Reasons use only fixed lists of known names: owner phase, recovery
state, controller fence reason, unsettled command type and status,
sandbox outcome, and quarantine copy result. Any other stored value
appears as `other`. Reasons do not include payloads, file names, or
paths.
- The same proofs apply in the same order. Admission accepts and refuses
the same states as before.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md` describes the suffix.

## Verification

- **Failure before the change:** I ran the updated
`native-recovered-owner-followup.test.ts` against the unchanged
executor. 18 tests failed. Example: expected `...indeterminate;
retirement_refused=owner_observed`, received `...indeterminate`.
- **After the change:** `cd server && pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-recovered-owner-followup.test.ts`: 22
passed. Each held case now asserts its reason:
`owner_retryable_failure`, `controller_remote_controller_lease_live`,
`owner_recovery_resuming_session`,
`journal_commands_unsettled(runner.suspend.pending)`,
`journal_tool_input_unanswered`, `quarantine_journal_identity_mismatch`,
`runner_lifecycle_not_suspended`, and
`quarantine_runner_lifecycle_not_suspended`.
- The success cases still retire the owner and admit the follow-up.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/remote-warm-session-recovery.test.ts`: 1227
passed, 20 skipped.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-controller-recovery.integration.test.ts
src/__tests__/task-workspace-binding.test.ts`: passed.
- `tsc --noEmit` reports no errors in the changed lines. This worktree
did not build every workspace package, so the full-package typecheck
shows unrelated missing-module errors. CI runs the full typecheck.
- **Not verified live:** no deployment has run this change.

## Risks

- Low risk. Admission logic is unchanged. Only the error text gets a
suffix.
- Consumers that match the error by prefix still match.
`failed-run-retry.ts` uses `startsWith("runner_state_identity_mismatch:
")`. No code compares the full string outside tests.
- This change does not fix the held runs. It finds the fence. A second
change is needed after a deployment reports the reason.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) in Claude Code, with tool use,
shell execution, and read-only browser access to a test deployment. The
harness does not expose the context window size.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 5723fd82ca fix(native): release a fresh claim when task preparation fails (#19065)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A native run claims its finalization coordinator before task
preparation. Then it starts the provider turn.
> - Task preparation can fail after the claim and before any provider
turn.
> - In that case the executor kept its claim. Failure settlement read
the claim as a live owner and stopped. Nothing failed the run.
> - The 60-second execution-control watchdog then failed the run as
`execution_finalization_deadline_exceeded`. The original error was lost.
> - This pull request releases only that exact fresh, unstarted claim
after renewal stops.
> - The benefit is that ordinary settlement fails the run at once with
its real error and keeps the workspace files. The watchdog stays a
backstop.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19028. That PR keeps the earlier failure code when the watchdog
fails a run. In this case no earlier code is saved, so it cannot help.
This PR removes the wait for the watchdog. I searched open PRs for
duplicates. #18820, #19034 and #19038 touch near code, but none release
a preparation claim.

**What happened?**

A native task with a prepared sandbox workspace failed during
preparation, after the controller claim committed. The coordinator
stayed `observed` and kept this controller's lease owner. The heartbeat
failure path calls workspace preservation. Preservation refuses any
lease owner without a matching restart claim, so it raised
`NativeWorkspaceFinalizationBusyError`. The heartbeat then treated
ownership as held and returned without a terminal write. About 60
seconds later the watchdog failed the run with a generic "verify the
provider stopped" action. The real error (for example
`native_harness_storage_owner_missing`) stayed only in the workspace
operation record.

**Expected behavior**

When no provider turn started under a fresh claim, settle the failure
like a failure before the claim: retain the source, fail the run with
its own error, and do not wait for the watchdog.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a native run with a prepared remote workspace.
2. Make task preparation fail after `native.coordinator.claim` commits
(for example, a preparation callback throws).
3. See that the run stays `running` until the control deadline fails it
as `execution_finalization_deadline_exceeded`.

## What Changed

- `native-execution-lease.ts`: add
`releaseUnstartedNativeExecutionClaim`. It clears the lease owner and
expiry only for the exact run, company, issue, owner and attempt, while
the phase is `observed` and no result exists.
- `native-session-executor.ts`: when task preparation fails after a
fresh claim, mark that claim. The startup owner releases it after
renewal stops. A restart-recovery claim, a startup-cleanup context,
Stop, restart detach, or a different owner keeps the old behavior.
- Tests: an executor regression for the fresh and restart cases, and a
real-database test for release and workspace retention against the exact
owner, a foreign owner, a different attempt and an accepted result.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: state that the deadline is a backstop
and describe the release.

## Verification

- Red before the fix: `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts -t "releases
only a fresh claim"` fails with "releaseUnstartedNativeExecutionClaim
... Number of calls: 0".
- Green after the fix, with the same command.
- `npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-failed-workspace-recovery.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-execution-lease.test.ts
src/services/execution-control-reconciliation.test.ts` passes (embedded
Postgres for the retention test).
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` passes.
- Not done: a live run against a real sandbox at this revision. The
staging evidence is read-only.

## Risks

- The release is fenced by the exact owner, attempt, `observed` phase
and no result. Renewal stops before the release, so a renewal cannot see
a missing owner and detach or cancel the run.
- The fix covers failures inside task preparation only. Failures later
in startup, or after a restart-recovery claim expires, still reach the
watchdog. Those keep fail-closed behavior and need separate evidence.
- If the release write fails, the run keeps the old watchdog path.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18826, #18943, #19038.

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

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

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

fb96537e28 test(ui): verify disconnect recovery through browser outages (#18832)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people manage agent work through the board.
> - Deploys can interrupt reads and writes while people use the board.
> - Component tests cannot prove the browser keeps task content and
saved drafts through a reload.
> - The read and cache changes need a regression suite against the built
app.
> - This pull request drives those journeys through temporary API
failures.
> - CI discovers the new suite through the existing e2e shard plan.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
Outage recovery lacked one browser suite covering retained content,
write recovery, cached reloads, access errors and sign-out clearing
together.

**Expected behavior**
Keep loaded task content visible through a 20-second API outage. Show
one connection banner and its recovery state. Save comments once and
retain document edits. Restore approved reads after a reload. Keep real
error responses readable and clear query records on sign-out.

**Steps to reproduce**
Open a task or settings. Return 503 with `tenant_app_unavailable` from
browser API requests for 20 seconds. Type a comment, edit a document, or
reload. Restore the API and compare the visible result with the saved
server state. Repeat with real 403/404 statuses and sign-out.

Stacked on Refs #18825, which depends on Refs #18822. Related
durable-write foundation: Refs #17960.

## What Changed

- Add `disconnect-resilience.spec.ts` with ten browser cases for
comments, a queued comment across reload, document autosave, cached
settings/sidebar/task reads, legacy Inbox reloads, 403 and 404
responses, sign-out clearing, restored-draft conflict detection, and
first-socket outage control.
- Assert one connection banner, readable recovery, no transient error
boxes or raw codes, retained task text, one saved comment, and the saved
document after reload.
- Use the real local server and isolated embedded PostgreSQL. Intercept
browser API traffic for outages. Control the logout/session response for
the sign-out test. Create no agents or model runs.
- Register realtime interception before navigation. Track both ends of
current sockets, close them at outage start, and keep reconnects
unavailable through the HTTP outage deadline. Preserve normal close
forwarding and close tracked pairs during teardown. The regression
captures the first browser socket without waiting for history or open,
then checks that the outage closes it.
- Prepare complete server-derived experimental settings and workspace
preferences before the legacy Inbox navigation. Its route callbacks
serve per-test snapshots across reloads, avoiding reads from disposed
route.fetch responses.
- Document the direct test command. The existing CI e2e shards already
discover this file exactly once; no workflow or package script is added.

## Verification

- Current head `228c1b68d30` is merge-ready: all 54 check runs completed
(52 successful, one skipped, one neutral), the legacy Snyk status is
successful, and both required gates pass. The single failed-jobs debug
rerun in run `41752978283` passed on attempt 2, including Runner package
job `126328280650` and `verify` job `126332119116`. Greptile Apex
reviewed this exact head at 5/5 with zero unresolved threads; the branch
has no merge conflicts. The three-PR stack is awaiting operator merge
approval.
- Original attempt 1 of current-head CI run `41752978283` had 46
successful jobs, one skipped and two failed: Runner package tests and
the downstream `verify` gate. GitHub reports lost communication with the
Runner host; the test step was cancelled, its log returns HTTP 404, and
no Runner diagnostic artifact is available. The underlying test outcome
and disconnection cause are unknown. One failed-jobs retry with debug
logging was accepted after verifying the unchanged current head and
passed on attempt 2. No source change was made; earlier passing CI and
local tests do not certify this incomplete Runner result. Current-head
CI now passes; the earlier disconnection cause remains unknown.
- Preceding head `6531caccf62` reached merge-ready: all 54 check runs
completed (52 successful, one skipped, one neutral), the legacy Snyk
status was successful, and both required gates passed in run
`41749512329`. Greptile reviewed that exact head at 5/5 with zero
unresolved threads. Current head `228c1b68d30` carries later
account-preference and bulk-selection fixes and now has its own passing
current-head CI.
- All 23 built-UI outage/write/loading cases pass in 4.5 minutes on
exact current head `228c1b68d30`: ten outage, six durable-write and
seven loading cases. The run used bundled Chromium, a fresh
local-trusted server and isolated embedded PostgreSQL on macOS
arm64/Node 25.6.1. Owned temporary server and database stopped.
- Current integrated head `228c1b68d30` contains cache revision
`fe4f682c879` and read head `09d1db29dea`. The exact application source
passes all 1,198 focused tests across twenty-eight files, UI typecheck
and both guards. Seventeen new cases cover restored-account settings,
owned crown cleanup and pending bulk selections; sixteen fail the
previous source and one preserves denial compatibility. All three
browser specs pass standalone strict checking. All 23 current-head
browser cases pass in 4.5 minutes.
- Application revision `9c1a10f25d9` passed all 1,137 focused tests
across twenty-one files, UI typecheck and both guards. Exact preceding
application/spec head `4fec693ec94` passed all 23 built-UI
outage/write/loading cases in 4.6 minutes and standalone strict checking
of all three specs. It used bundled Chromium, fresh isolated PostgreSQL
and local-trusted auth on macOS arm64/Node 25.6.1. Owned test processes
stopped.
- Preceding integrated head `870aa709657`, containing cache
`cbb891dd37d`, passes all 23 built-UI outage/write/loading cases in 4.6
minutes: ten outage cases, six durable-write cases and seven loading
cases. It used bundled Chromium, the built UI, a fresh local-trusted
server and isolated embedded PostgreSQL on macOS arm64/Node 25.6.1.
Owned test processes stopped.
- The earlier head `763fe431b74` passes the affected legacy Inbox
outage/reload case (34.3 seconds; 50.8 seconds including startup) and
strict three-spec checking after the response-snapshot fix. The
preceding head `973a12d77f4` passed all 23 built-UI outage/write/loading
cases in 4.6 minutes: ten outage cases, six durable-write cases and
seven loading cases. Its first-socket regression fails the previous
helper because that socket stays open. The run used bundled Chromium,
the built UI, fresh isolated PostgreSQL and local-trusted auth on macOS
arm64/Node 25.6.1. That earlier isolated callback revision was verified
with its affected case; the later application/spec head `4fec693ec94`
also passes the full suite. Owned test servers and databases stopped.
- The current base gives known skills/app errors priority over sibling
loading. All 60 affected tests and both application UI typechecks
passed. Its twelve new regressions failed the preceding source. All 47
recovery-worker tests and seven related Runner fixture variants also
passed during the historical CI audit; those focused checks do not claim
a full current server/Runner suite.
- All 22 outage/write/loading cases passed in 4.7 minutes on preceding
integrated head `b7deaaee5da`, including direct cache revision
`97c0bc3966f`. The run used the built UI, bundled Chromium and a fresh
local-trusted server with isolated embedded PostgreSQL on macOS
arm64/Node 25.6.1. It covered all nine outage, six durable-write and
seven loading cases. The owned temporary server and database stopped.
- All 1,038 focused tests passed on that direct cache revision, with UI
typecheck and guards. Six regressions failed the previous source: online
retries could trigger a hidden-tab worker reload, and sign-out failed
without crypto.randomUUID. Both modes and stamp states now pass.
Standalone strict checking passes for all three browser specs.
- The restored cached-A/draft-B/server-C test asserts zero replay
PATCHes and retains the conflict. The queued-comment case holds fresh
session verification after general API recovery and asserts zero POSTs
until release. Denial, logout and cached-navigation cases require saved
records. Sign-out seeds several company records to exercise native
Storage key reordering. Healthy navigation waits for
conversation-history readiness.
- Earlier runs exposed real cached-header, storage cleanup and replay
defects in the base. Those failures and corrected fixture assumptions
remain in the discussion. A prior run passed 21/22 while real sockets
remained available during simulated HTTP failures. A diagnostic trace
established the contradiction. The first repair gated new sockets, but
review identified the first pre-existing socket still escaping. This
revision intercepts before navigation and closes existing pairs too. The
new regression fails the preceding helper, and all 23 current cases pass
without weaker assertions. Shared-memory exhaustion prevented two
earlier diagnostic startups; only unused segments from completed owned
test databases were removed.
- All six separate cross-organization link/upload variants passed on an
earlier integrated base. Standalone strict checking of that unrelated
spec reports five existing errors in its shared fixture; this PR does
not claim that check passes.
- CI on older head `53d979e384c` failed the legacy Inbox case with
`apiResponse.json: Response has been disposed` inside a route.fetch
callback. Its other 25 cases passed and one skipped. The seven other
browser shards succeeded; the aggregate only reports that child failure.
The new snapshot callbacks remove those fetched-response lifetimes.
Original CI evidence remains recorded in the discussion.
- Greptile Apex reviewed exact current head `228c1b68d30` at 5/5 with no
actionable findings and zero unresolved threads (summary updated
2026-11-04 at 01:26:14 UTC). The branch has no merge conflicts.
Current-head CI now passes; the earlier disconnection cause remains
unknown. Controlled local outages do not prove hosted authentication or
a real Cloud restart/deploy.

Commands run:

```sh
pnpm exec playwright test --config tests/e2e/playwright.config.ts tests/e2e/disconnect-resilience.spec.ts --grep 'a legacy Inbox reload retains' --reporter=list
pnpm exec playwright test --config tests/e2e/playwright.config.ts tests/e2e/disconnect-resilience.spec.ts tests/e2e/disconnect-write-recovery.spec.ts tests/e2e/task-loading-frame.spec.ts --reporter=list
pnpm exec tsc --ignoreConfig --noEmit --strict --target ES2022 --module NodeNext --moduleResolution NodeNext --skipLibCheck tests/e2e/disconnect-resilience.spec.ts tests/e2e/disconnect-write-recovery.spec.ts tests/e2e/task-loading-frame.spec.ts
```

## Risks

The suite adds about three minutes to one e2e shard and depends on
current accessible UI controls. It uses controlled outages and logout
responses. A passing local run must not be treated as real deployment
acceptance. There are no production behavior, schema, dependency, or API
changes in this PR.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` through Codex, with xhigh reasoning effort, tool
use, and code execution. The context window size is not exposed.

DottaandPaperclip 818d2bb661 fix(native): preserve closed post-result failure diagnostics (#19126)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Native execution persists a result before it completes cleanup and
workspace export.
> - A later execution error enters the failure-write path.
> - That write must reject an already selected result. The existing code
reports lease loss for every rejected write.
> - This can hide the category of the first error even when the same
controller still owns an unexpired lease.
> - This change adds closed diagnostic labels after exact ownership and
accepted-result checks. It keeps the existing control error and recovery
policy.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A local real-PostgreSQL regression accepts a result through the
production control plane, then injects a harmless filesystem failure.
The production executor reports `native_session_lease_lost`. It loses
the original failure category because the failure transition requires a
null result ID.

**Expected behavior**

Keep the result guard and the existing lifecycle classification. Record
a closed diagnostic category when the selected result is accepted and
the controller still has exact, unexpired authority. Keep ordinary
lease-loss fencing when that proof is absent or its diagnostic lock is
busy.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the new post-result cases in
`server/src/services/heartbeat/runtime-execution.test.ts`. They use the
real executor, control-plane result commit, heartbeat recovery path and
PostgreSQL. The provider boundary is controlled. No live provider is
used.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The regression fails on base `7d1e9b3477`. Related open PR #16917
changes legacy lease recovery. Open #19063 adds terminal finalizer
reasons, and #15310 preserves database finalization errors. They do not
change this executor diagnostic branch. This change only adds native
diagnostic evidence and does not reclaim a lease.

## What Changed

- Add a typed diagnostic with a closed stage, category and
accepted-result flag. Do not retain the source message, path, arbitrary
code or lease token.
- After a rejected failure write, check the selected accepted result and
the exact company, task, run, owner, attempt, generation, process
identity and expiry. Use a coordinator-only `NOWAIT` lock. Fall back to
the original control error if the diagnostic read fails.
- Report the closed event after rollback. Keep
`native_session_lease_lost` as the error message and leave every
failure-write predicate unchanged.
- Add real-PostgreSQL safety cases for stale and expired authority,
owner replacement, Stop state, result selection, pending accounting, one
provider invocation, closed labels and diagnostic sink failure.
- Document the closed event, unchanged authority, and possible late
diagnostic sink completion.
- Add a competing-row-lock barrier. It verifies actual PostgreSQL lock
refusal and control settlement before the competing lock is released.

## Verification

- Permanent regression on unchanged base: RED because the closed
diagnostic is absent.
- NOWAIT mutation: RED when only NOWAIT is removed. PostgreSQL reports
lock timeout instead of immediate lock refusal. The test uses barriers
and the actual database error, with no elapsed-time assertion.
- Final related suites: 56 tests passed across runtime execution and
provider failure integration tests.
- Full server source and test typecheck: passed.
- Full `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed in an independent locked-dependency
checkout.
- Full `pnpm build`: passed.
- Full `pnpm test:run`: running in the independent immutable checkout.
All six chat shards passed; the remaining suites are still pending.
- The first current-head CI attempt failed in two cases: workspace
runtime initial fixture HTTP readiness and instructions-bundle
error-message rendering. Both exact cases passed in isolation on
unchanged PR head and base. The original causes remain unknown after
bounded test-only observation. One controlled same-head rerun of each
failed job passed. Current required CI and all other completed checks
passed. Original failures remain recorded; no infrastructure or
flaky-test claim is made.
- Module boundary check and `git diff --check`: passed.
- Exact-head Greptile: 5/5 with no actionable findings or open review
threads. Automatic native review remains queued. That advisory check is
not required by current master rules; no current-head native assessment
is claimed.
- Earlier fixture setup failures remain recorded. These included missing
fixture fields and observing the Drizzle wrapper instead of its
PostgreSQL cause. They are not the regression RED. An earlier broad
typecheck was interrupted for the required NOWAIT revision; the final
full typecheck passed.
- No hosted export recovery or original hosted failure cause is claimed.

## Risks

The extra read is diagnostic only. It uses NOWAIT and cannot wait for a
competing coordinator lock. Its failure preserves the existing control
classification. The event sink uses the existing 60-second
execution-control bound. A slow sink can finish later and emit a late
event. Result selection, Stop, accounting, retry eligibility and
provider work do not depend on event success. No schema or lifecycle
contract changes are required.

## Model Used

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

2ccc7d37ef feat(ui): retain approved reads across outage reloads (#18825)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people manage agent work through the board.
> - The board already retains loaded reads during a temporary server
failure.
> - Reloading the page removes that in-memory data.
> - A deploy can then leave a returning user without the shell or recent
tasks.
> - This pull request saves an explicit, limited set of reads in the
browser.
> - Cached identity supports display while fresh session checks protect
writes.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A reload during an API outage loses the board's loaded reads. An
automatic worker update can also reload a hidden tab while a write is
pending.

**Expected behavior**
Show the cached shell and recent tasks during a temporary outage. Limit
saved content by user, company, age and build. Clear it on sign-out.
Wait for a fresh session before sending account-bound writes. Defer
automatic reloads while work is pending.

**Steps to reproduce**
Open a task and settings while online. Return 503 from the API and
reload. Restore the API. Sign out and confirm that saved query records
are gone. Discover a worker update while offline or during an autosave
and confirm that it waits.

Stacked on Refs #18822. Related durable-write foundation: Refs #17960.
The outage browser suite follows in a separate test PR.

## What Changed

- Persist an exact read allowlist through TanStack Query dehydration and
hydration. Save shell preferences, company/sidebar data, agent/project
lists, plugin UI metadata, the first inbox page, and 20 recent tasks.
Task UUID and identifier reads share one recent-task slot.
- Namespace records by user and company. Retain eligible reads across
normal memory garbage collection, expire each read after 24 hours, and
discard them after a build change. Unstamped builds disable hydration
and persistence while retaining sign-out cleanup. Use the existing
instance-wide plugin contribution query in the user's root record.
- Exclude session credentials and bootstrap data, embedded plan
documents, comments, preview work products, provider credentials and
environment values, browser capabilities, pairing data, other queries,
and mutations. Restore only display identity from session data. Preserve
safe agent provider/model display fields and configuration object
shapes. Apply the projection on save and restore.
- Clear saved reads on sign-out, cross-tab account changes, and
definitive session denial. Keep revocation working on plain HTTP without
crypto.randomUUID. Use per-user revocation revisions to reject delayed
writes and stale records. Preserve a newer account. Remove every
UUID/identifier projection and nested inbox copy of a denied task.
- Detach shared GETs when the account changes or signs out. Load
complete, freshly authorized agents before opening bulk settings from a
display-only roster. Retire a pending bulk-editor result or error when
row, select-all or clear changes the selection, including a
clear/reselect of the same agent.
- Require a fresh server lookup before account-bound writes, pending
task creation, or mounted autosaves resume. This includes automatic task
read receipts, inbox archives, workspace preferences and primary-agent
choices, with optimistic archive changes gated too. Cancel the old write
scope when the verified user changes. Release completed archives through
account-independent cleanup without restoring old cached rows; an old
operation cannot clear a newer hide flag. Retry unconfirmed read
receipts after a fresh session succeeds for the original account, and
remember confirmed receipts across refreshes. Track pending reads per
task so opening another task sends its receipt immediately; revisiting
reuses an outstanding receipt and its original account scope.
- Defer a hidden-tab worker reload until connectivity, mutations,
durable sends, and autosaves are safe. Synchronously count each
unresolved operation across online rate-limit retries. Release a
cancelled target’s unused dirty token when an editor changes tasks; keep
stored drafts, admitted saves and queued retries. Cover autosave
debounce, newer edits, navigation and undo.

## Verification

- Current head `fe4f682c879` is merge-ready: all 54 check runs completed
(52 successful, one skipped, one neutral), the legacy Snyk status is
successful, and both `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e` pass in run
`41752927822`. Greptile Apex reviewed this exact head at 5/5 with zero
unresolved threads; the branch has no merge conflicts. All three PRs now
meet the merge-ready bar; the stack remains unmerged pending operator
approval.
- Greptile Apex reviewed exact current head `fe4f682c879` at 5/5 with no
actionable findings and zero unresolved threads (summary updated
2026-11-04 at 01:24:40 UTC). Both settings-account and pending-selection
findings are fixed, replied to and resolved. The branch has no merge
conflicts. Current-head CI now passes in run `41752927822`.
- Seventeen new cases cover settings restored from actual saved query
records, matching/changed/signed-out identities, denied verification,
late crown responses without overwriting newer reads, and bulk-selection
changes during successful/failed reads. Sixteen fail the preceding
source and one preserves denial compatibility. Both settings paths reuse
the existing account-bound mutation guard; its optional explicit
QueryClient supports the workspace hook’s existing detached-host mode.
Primary-agent optimistic updates begin only after verification and
cleanup checks ownership and the cache revision.
- Earlier CI run `41749456480` on prior head `2cf7516f18c` has one real
server test failure: the owned-runtime case in
`idle-completed-history.test.ts` could not reach its HTTP child on port
34757 within 10 seconds (99 refused probes). Its other 1,829 cases pass
and three skip; the only other unsuccessful job is the downstream
`verify` gate. The exact selected case passes locally, and the entire
75-case file passes in 72.19 seconds on the exact `2cf7516f18c` source
tree with isolated PostgreSQL and a real child process on macOS
arm64/Node 25.6.1. The Linux CI startup cause remains unknown; these
local results are not a fix or CI acceptance. One failed-jobs retry with
debug logging was accepted on that unchanged head, then superseded by
the later settings fixes. Current-head CI remains required; no source
change was made for this failure.
- Current cache head `fe4f682c879`, based on read head `09d1db29dea` and
master `683fa4725e9`, passes all 1,198 focused tests across twenty-eight
files, UI typecheck, token gates and the enforcing query-error guard.
Dependent browser head `228c1b68d30` contains this exact application
source and passes standalone strict checking of all three browser specs.
Current-head CI now passes in run `41752927822`.
- Three new navigation regressions fail the preceding application source
and pass with the fix. They open three cached tasks before any receipt
resolves, leave the page before success or failure, revisit an
outstanding read without duplicating it, and recover an older failed
receipt after a fresh session succeeds while a later task remains
pending.
- The fixture repair passes all seven deadline integration cases and the
complete server typecheck, including the server test layer. The old
assertion deterministically fails at 23:59:06.888 UTC; its
one-second-old run also fails the first-second-of-day probe. The
corrected fixture passes noon and both midnight probes. The permanent
three-case coverage uses seeded 2099 clocks.
- Nine new cases cover archive success/failure after sign-out and
another account takes over, both mounted and unmounted; cleanup
ownership when a newer archive uses the same task; session-check 429
exhaustion followed by matching, changed or signed-out identity; and a
failed read receipt followed by a new session read. They verify no
old-cache restoration, toast or navigation, retained newer hide flags,
no failed-check loop and no duplicate confirmed receipt. Seven fail the
previous implementation; two compatibility cases retain account-change
suppression. Initial test error-constructor and query-notification
timing assumptions were corrected before the passing checks.
- The inherited skills/app error-priority fix passes all 60 affected
tests and UI typecheck on both application branches. Its twelve new
regression cases fail the preceding read implementation. The
persisted-cache suite includes 48 cases.
- Six new regressions fail against the preceding application source and
pass with the fix. Actual worker-update and mutation-cache listeners
cannot reload a hidden tab between online 429 retries; the original
create key survives, and the update reloads once after a receipt. Real
self-hosted and Cloud sign-out work without crypto.randomUUID, with
stamped and unstamped builds. Saved reads are removed and account write
scopes are invalidated. An initial test-fixture type annotation error
was corrected before the passing typecheck.
- The 48 cache tests cover actual five-minute memory GC, the 20-task
bound across saved and live reads, original 24-hour expiry, denial
before session verification, unstamped cleanup, cross-tab revocation and
delayed flushes. Private GETs cannot cross account transitions. Bulk
edits require complete current agent data. Undo releases the update
blocker while preserving the Saved indicator.
- All 23 built-UI outage/write/loading cases pass in 4.5 minutes on
exact integrated head `228c1b68d30`, containing current cache revision
`fe4f682c879`: ten outage, six durable-write and seven loading cases.
The run uses bundled Chromium, the built UI, a fresh local-trusted
server and isolated embedded PostgreSQL on macOS arm64/Node 25.6.1. All
three specs pass standalone strict TypeScript checking. Owned temporary
server and database stopped.
- Earlier browser runs exposed and fixed cached-header, native Storage
cleanup and replay/session defects. A prior run passed 21/22 because
real WebSockets contradicted the simulated HTTP outage; the fixture now
closes existing socket pairs and holds new sockets through the same
outage deadline. An older CI run exposed a disposed response in the
Inbox route callback; pre-navigation snapshots remove that lifetime, and
the current full run includes that repair. Earlier failures and their
diagnosis remain in the discussion. The current full run passes. Broader
historical workspace failures remain documented in Refs #18822; this
does not claim a clean full workspace suite.
- Current-head CI passes on `fe4f682c879`. Controlled local outages do
not complete hosted authentication or a real Cloud restart/deploy
acceptance.

## Risks

This deliberately saves task content on the local browser for up to 24
hours. The allowlist excludes credentials and ephemeral capabilities.
Local storage can be disabled or full; persistence then fails without
blocking the app. Restored data can be stale and never grants server
access. A user or access change clears cached account reads and
invalidates pending writes. The browser outage suite and real hosted
deploy acceptance remain release requirements. There are no migrations
or new dependencies.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` through Codex, with xhigh reasoning effort, tool
use, and code execution. The context window size is not exposed.

DottaandPaperclip b7ef307a65 fix(workspaces): wait for an ended writer's save instead of failing setup (#19074)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agent runs can use a remote task workspace in a sandbox. One writer
run at a time holds that workspace.
> - When a writer run ends, its workspace save and sandbox release
finish a few minutes later. The writer hold stays until then.
> - A new run that started in that interval failed with `setup_failed`:
"The workspace still has an unfinished writer or save operation."
> - A live writer already makes the new run wait (`workspace_busy`,
added in #18691). An ended writer that is still settling did not.
> - This pull request reports the ended writer as the holder too, so the
new run waits instead of failing.
> - The benefit is that work continues automatically after a short
settle interval. Users do not see a failed run and a blocked task.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18691

**What happened?**
A task run failed during workspace setup with `setup_failed` and the
error "The workspace still has an unfinished writer or save operation."
The previous run on the same task had ended a few seconds before. Its
sandbox lease was released 4 to 17 minutes later. A staging soak
recorded 31 of these failures over 14 tasks in about 29 hours.

**What did you expect to happen?**
The new run waits for the workspace, as it does when the previous writer
is still running. It continues when the save and release settle.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Bind a task to a remote workspace whose authority has `dirty: true`
and a `writerRunId` for a run with status `failed` that ended now.
2. Wake the task's agent.
3. The run fails with `setup_failed`. No retry is scheduled.

## What Changed

- `reserveRemoteWorkspace` now throws `RemoteWorkspaceWriterActiveError`
for an ended writer whose save or sandbox release has not settled.
Before, it threw a plain 409 conflict. The error keeps the same message,
status and `remote_workspace_writer_pending` code. It uses the writer's
`finishedAt` as its last activity and sets `ended: true`.
- Workspace preparation already converts that error to a
`workspace_busy` deferral with the one-hour holder cutoff. It now passes
`holderEnded` to the deferral.
- `WorkspaceBusyDeferral` says "ended, but its workspace save has not
settled" for an ended holder, instead of "is still running".
- A writer that is missing or has no task still gets the plain conflict,
as before.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md` describes the wait and its cutoff.

## Verification

- Red before the fix: the new test "waits for a writer that just ended
while its save or sandbox release settles" failed. The run had `status:
failed`, `errorCode: setup_failed`, `executionRecovery.kind: bootstrap`.
This is the same result as the staging failures.
- Green after the fix:
`cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-remote-workspace-busy.test.ts
src/services/remote-workspace-reservation.test.ts`
  (16 tests pass.)
- Safety cases in the new tests:
- The waiting run does not change the workspace authority. The unsaved
writer's files and hold stay unchanged.
- A writer that ended more than one hour ago still causes the
unfinished-writer setup failure, with no scheduled retry. The wait is
bounded.
- Existing cases still pass: live writer wait with Stop and
reassignment, the concurrent reservation race
(`remote_workspace_writer_pending`), and the unused-reservation
takeover.
- Also run: `remote-workspaces.integration.test.ts`,
`heartbeat-workspace-busy.test.ts`,
`remote-workspace-save-concurrency.test.ts`,
`workspace-recovery.test.ts`. All 6 suites pass (442 tests).
- Not done: a live run on staging at this revision. The fix is not
deployed.

## Risks

- A task whose ended writer never settles now makes up to about one hour
of short `workspace_busy` waits (one scheduled retry every 1 to 2
minutes) before it fails. Before, it failed at once. The end state after
the cutoff is the same.
- Some of the staging failures have other causes that this change does
not fix:
- A previous run that stays `running` with no output for more than one
hour still causes this failure, as intended.
- A dirty workspace whose writer ended without a saved result (for
example a workspace finalization retry that never runs) still blocks the
task after the cutoff. These need separate fixes.
- No schema, API or UI changes.

## Model Used

- Anthropic Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) in Claude Code, with
tool use (shell, browser reads of staging run records) and extended
reasoning.
