DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 d33b3ac263 fix(wake-queue): save temporarily refused work intents and promote them through one path (#19956)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Users send work to agents as assignments, comments and Retries. The
wake queue delivers each one as a run
> - When an admission check refused a wake for a temporary reason, the
wake often ended as a terminal skip, so the work was lost
> - Restart-chaos waves found dropped comments and Retries (RC-37,
s7532) and double delivery (RC-53). Each fix covered one hold type
> - The durable ownership plan (section E) asks for one outbox rule: a
closed set of terminal outcomes, a saved deferral for every temporary
refusal, and one promotion path
> - This pull request adds that rule. It saves messages refused by a
pause, promotes deferred intents from every hold-release event through
one function, and adds a reconciler backstop
> - The benefit is that an accepted message is delivered exactly once
after a pause lifts, and the reconciler reports any intent that is stuck
or dropped

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19831 (plan, section E), #19838 (inventory, wake-queue rows and
section 1b), #19927 (Phase 2 data: the I4 false positive), #19702,
#19741, #19829, #19826. Builds on #19944 (section D, merged).

**What happened?**
- A user commented while the agent was paused, or while the company was
paused. Admission refused the wake. Nothing saved the message as
pending, so when the pause lifted, nothing delivered it.
- Hold-release events woke different subsets of workers. A saved intent
then waited out a 30-second refusal backoff after its hold cleared.
- The I4 reconciler check matched free text with a regular expression.
Phase 2 found a false positive: a delivered retry whose error said
"retrying once".

**Expected behavior**
An accepted work intent ends only as delivered, consumed by a later run,
task cancelled, or hard stop. Every temporary refusal saves the intent
as `deferred` with its reason and its release trigger. Every
hold-release event promotes deferred intents through one function
(invariant 4).

**Steps to reproduce**
Pause an agent. Post a user comment on its task. Resume the agent. On
`master` the comment is never delivered as a wake.

## What Changed

- New `server/src/services/work-intent-outbox.ts`:
- `WORK_INTENT_TERMINAL_OUTCOMES`: the closed set of terminal outcomes.
- `TEMPORARY_REFUSAL_TRIGGERS`: maps each temporary refusal code to its
release trigger.
- `promoteDeferredWorkIntents`: the one promotion function. It removes
the 30-second refusal backoff from the matching deferred intents. It
then wakes run dispatch, the saved-receipt worker and stranded-work
recovery, and hints each saved intent of the issue.
- `heartbeat/queue.ts`: the #19829 save-as-deferred block is now a
shared helper. A user's message refused by a paused agent, a paused
company, or a budget pause that is not a reached hard stop is saved with
`executionWait: { reason, trigger, message }`. The caller still gets a
409. The message is saved only when the task's latest run is terminal,
because the release drain promotes a saved message behind that run. A
task that never ran keeps the message in the task, and stranded-work
recovery starts the task once the pause lifts. A `pending_approval`
agent and a task-tree hold are not changed here: the release drain still
fails a promoted wake for a pending approval, and tree holds have their
own resume path.
- Hold-release events call `promoteDeferredWorkIntents`:
  - accounting settled (`run-cost-accounting.ts`);
  - environment lease released (`environments.ts`, two sites);
  - native run projected terminal (`native-run-projection.ts`);
  - budget pause lifted (`budgets.ts`);
  - company reactivated (`companies.ts`);
  - task-tree hold released (`issue-tree-control.ts`);
  - agent lifecycle ready (`agent-lifecycle-driver.ts`).
- Reconciler (`recovery/ownership-registry.ts`,
`ownership-invariant-report.ts`, `native-finalization-reconciler.ts`):
- registers three new kinds: `wake_request_deferred`, `queued_run` and
`scheduled_retry_run`;
- I4 now reads the closed refusal code (the wake `reason`) of accepted
intents, not free text;
- a new I4 check reports a deferred pause refusal whose pause has lifted
for more than 5 minutes. The worker then promotes it as a backstop;
- a lifted pause inside its 5-minute grace window returns its deadline
through `nextDueAt`, and the worker also wakes on agent-lifecycle
signals (company and agent pause changes). So a missed release event is
still checked.
- `doc/SPEC-implementation.md`: adds the rule "Accepted work intents are
delivered exactly once".

## Verification

Each focused file ran alone in one vitest process (`--maxWorkers=1`) on
embedded Postgres. Results at `2875c85fd2`:

| Question | Loop | Elapsed | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Is a comment refused by a pause saved, then delivered once after the
pause lifts? | `heartbeat-held-comment-wake.test.ts -t "pause lifts"` |
8 s | 2 pass. With `queue.ts` from `master`, both fail: no intent is
saved |
| Does I4 use the closed code, and does it catch a stuck deferral? |
`ownership-reconciliation-report.test.ts` | 45 s | 20 pass. This
includes the Phase 2 "retrying once" false positive and the case
"paused, then lifted" |
| No regression on the paths that changed | held-comment (15),
archived-company guard (8), undispatched execution wait (32), deferred
receipt work (45), recovery pause durability (16), native run projection
work (55), tree-control routes and services (19, 1, 7) | 8–334 s each |
All pass |

- Exactly-once: each pause test runs two promotions (a release event,
then the reconciler backstop) and many dispatch passes. It asserts one
delivery. The existing consumption tests (RC-53) still pass.
- Server package typecheck passes.
- Speed: nothing new runs before `turn.start`. The new admission work
happens only on a refusal. Promotion runs in the release transaction and
in the background reconciler.
- Not run here: chaos waves. The coordinating session schedules them on
the shared harness.

## Risks

- `promoteDeferredWorkIntents` moves `updated_at` back for deferred
intents that were refused in the last 30 seconds. A busy company with
many release events can retry refused intents more often. Each retry
re-runs normal admission, and the refusal resets the backoff.
- More release sites now wake run dispatch and stranded-work recovery.
These notifications are coalesced per company.
- Lifting a pause is now the operator's explicit authorization to send
what the pause refused, as Send is after a Stop. When the pause stopped
the task's run, the lifted pause issues the task's next explicit wake,
which adopts the saved message once. Other messages queued behind an
acknowledged Stop keep the existing rule. If Stop recovery still holds
the task, the message waits for that recovery.
- An agent pause's stop sweep keeps the messages that the pause deferred
(`preservePauseDeferred`). Terminate and cleanup stops still end them.
- The backstop check reads only pause refusals (`company.inactive`,
`agent.not_invokable`), because those holds can be checked exactly.
Other deferred kinds keep their existing promotion paths.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 f755361ffe fix(recovery): deliver a steered message the restart lost before the model read it (#19962)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A user can steer a running Codex or Pi turn: a comment goes into the
live turn instead of waiting for the next run
> - The provider acknowledges the steer at once, but the model reads it
only at its next step, after the in-flight tool call
> - A control-plane restart in that window kills the provider with the
message in memory. Restart recovery starts a continuation turn that does
not carry the message. The message is lost and no error shows
> - The restart chaos harness showed this in 6 of 6 steered runs (Codex,
K1, K2 and K6, 2 samples each): steer acknowledged, run succeeded, no
reply to the steered message
> - This pull request makes restart recovery deliver every acknowledged
steer that the model did not read, exactly once
> - The benefit is that manual Steer no longer loses messages on
restart, and the planned automatic steering can ship on top of it

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A comment steered into a running Codex turn got no reply when a
control-plane restart (SIGKILL, SIGTERM or crash loop) happened during
the agent's tool call. The run succeeded, and the steered comment had no
effect.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a Codex task that runs a 40-second command.
2. During the command, post a comment and click Steer. The provider
acknowledges it.
3. Restart the control plane before the command ends.
4. Recovery resumes the turn with a continuation. The agent finishes the
task and ignores the comment.

**Expected behavior**
The agent reads and handles the steered comment once, after recovery.

**Root cause**
The provider keeps acknowledged steering input in memory until its next
model step. The restart continuation
(`paperclip.native-continuation.v1`) only told the model to continue the
current request, so the acknowledged input was gone.

## What Changed

- `unreadSteeredMessageIds` (runner package): derives
acknowledged-but-unread steers from run-log events in order. A
`steering_acknowledgement` item adds the message id (once per id). A
`userMessage` item in the same turn reads the oldest unread steer. Codex
records each steered input as one `userMessage` item when it enters the
conversation. A `userMessage` item in a later turn reads all earlier
steers, because the continuation carries them. `turn.completed` reads
all steers.
- `readUnreadSteeredMessages` (server): reads those facts from
`heartbeat_run_events` (only transport-validated events with a
`sourceEventId`). It also reads the comment or interaction text for the
same company and issue. The run log is the durable record of both
"acknowledged" and "read", so no new column is needed.
- The restart continuation now includes `steeredMessages` and one
instruction to handle them, oldest first. The runtime reads them through
a lazy `getUnreadSteeredMessages` option, only when a restart
continuation starts. Native recovery wires it for every run.
- `queuedInteractionSteeringBody` is extracted, so recovery rebuilds a
steered interaction response with the same text the steer sent.
- Fake Codex gets `--consume-steer`, which emits the `userMessage` item
for an accepted steer, like real Codex.

## Verification

- Red/green live test with real runnerd and fake Codex
(`runnerd-restart-continuation.test.ts`, "delivers a steered message the
restart lost exactly once"): start a held turn, steer it, SIGKILL runner
and provider, restore and recover.
- "unread": the continuation carries the message exactly once. Without
the runtime change this test fails.
- "read" (`--consume-steer`): the continuation does not carry it again.
- Both: after the continuation completes, a later restart has nothing to
deliver.
- `steering-delivery.test.ts`: ordering, dedupe, initial-input,
later-turn and completed-turn rules.
- `unread-steered-messages.test.ts` (embedded Postgres): ignores events
without a source id and messages from other issues. It reads interaction
text, ignores model-output items as read evidence, and returns nothing
after the continuation input.
- `pnpm vitest run src/steering-delivery.test.ts
src/live/runnerd-restart-continuation.test.ts` (runner) and `pnpm vitest
run src/services/native-runtime/unread-steered-messages.test.ts`
(server): pass on the rebased revision.
- `issue-queued-comments-routes.test.ts` and
`native-session-runtime.test.ts -t restart`: pass.
`native-session-resume.test.ts` "archives a damaged prior epoch…" fails
locally on plain `origin/master` too (local runnerd binary); CI runs it
with a fresh build.
- Restart chaos (Codex steer mode, K1/K2/K6) runs after this lands in
the harness slot. Before: 0 of 6 steered messages answered.

## Risks

- Duplicate delivery: a provider that records steered input without a
`userMessage` item, or a `userMessage` event lost in the crash window
before persistence, makes recovery send the message again. The model
then sees it twice. That is safer than losing it, and the instruction
asks the model to handle each one once.
- Pi (ACPX) steering has no `userMessage` read evidence today, so a Pi
steer that the model already read before a restart may arrive again in
the continuation.
- Only the restart continuation carries the messages. Other recovery
paths start after a completed turn, which already read every steer.
- No schema or migration change. A session saved by an earlier release
resumes normally; its run log already holds the acknowledgement events.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 bf3a067076 feat(recovery): settle the finalizer and cleanup leases on the shared ownership path (#19950)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs keep their ownership in `native_run_finalizations`, and
the shared ownership reconciler now settles proven-gone owners (Phase 2
of the durable ownership plan)
> - The finalizer lease (`native-finalizer:*`, 5 min) and the
retained-session cleanup lease (`native-cleanup:*`, 60 s) recorded only
a random token. They named no holder process
> - A server killed while it finalized or cleaned up kept the run
waiting for the whole lease. The lease was released by age alone. A
graceful shutdown also keeps an in-progress finalizer lease for the next
boot to wait out
> - This pull request records the holder process with each claim and
moves both kinds onto the shared prover and a compare-and-swap settle
> - The benefit is that a dead holder's run continues in the first pass
after boot, and a live or unprovable holder is never released

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19933 (the settle hook and the first moved kind, merged).

**What happened?**
A finalizer or cleanup lease whose server process died stayed held until
the lease expired (5 min or 60 s). The run stayed `running` and its
follow-up work waited.

**What did you expect?**
The next boot proves the dead holder gone and frees the lease at once. A
live holder, or one that cannot be proven gone, keeps its lease.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Accept a native result and let the finalizer claim it.
2. Kill the server (SIGKILL) before the finalizer commits.
3. Start the server. The run stays `running` for up to 5 minutes.

## What Changed

- `native_run_finalizations.lease_holder` (jsonb, migration 0446):
`{token, bootId, pid, hostHash, processStartedAt}` of the process that
took a token-only lease. It names the holder only while `token` equals
`lease_owner`, so renewals keep it and a later lease never inherits it.
The executor's `controller_*` columns are not changed.
- The finalizer claim (`native-run-finalizer.ts`) and the cleanup claim
(`native-session-executor.ts`) write it in the same UPDATE as the lease,
from `currentControllerProcessStamp()` (no I/O).
- New `native-token-lease-settlement.ts`: compare-and-swap settle that
expires exactly the proven-gone holder's outstanding lease, after it
notifies the finalization or cleanup work that the expiry frees.
- Both claims also wake the ownership worker queue in their transaction,
so a quiet worker watches the new holder (Greptile round 1).
- `ownership-registry.ts`: `native_finalizer_lease` and
`native_cleanup_lease` register `settle`. Their owner is the holder
process; rows without a holder keep the token fence. Listings cover
outstanding leases only.
- `heartbeat/recovery.ts`: restart recovery settles both kinds before it
finalizes and schedules cleanup. A failure is logged and the reconciler
pass retries it.
- Two sparse partial indexes on `lease_expires_at` for the two listings,
so the settle watch re-check stays indexed.

Bespoke code deleted: none. These kinds had no liveness check; their
only release was lease age (the takeover in the claim), which stays as
the fence for unprovable holders.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-native-restart-suspension.test.ts -t
"finalizer|cleanup|holder|exact lease"`: 12 passed (rerun after the
rebase on master). The crash-point test also asserts the ownership wake
for its run; it fails without the signal.
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/ownership-reconciliation-report.test.ts`: 17 passed.
- Red on the base branch (server code at `bea3bfb20b`, tests and schema
from this branch): 7 new tests fail, 5 pass (the 5 are existing tests).
Red: the crash-point restart test, the two reconciler settle tests, the
three live/unprovable counter-cases (owner was a token fence), and the
exact-lease CAS test. The tests were written after the code.
- New tests:
- crash point: a finalizer claim was written and its holder killed
before commit; the next restart finalizes the run, and this boot's claim
stamps itself as holder;
- a dead finalizer or cleanup holder is settled by a recording pass,
never by a read-only pass (`record: false`); the accepted result and
phase are untouched;
- live counter-cases: a live earlier-boot PID (`pid_alive`), the current
boot (`current_process`), a dead PID in another PID space
(`different_process_space`, unprovable) keep the lease through a pass
and a restart;
- a holder written for another token, and a holderless row of the
previous release, stay token fences, also with
`PAPERCLIP_EPHEMERAL_SERVER=true`;
- settle refuses a lease taken over after the proof
(`owner_changed_since_proof`).
- Not run locally: typecheck (CI runs it) and the wide suites.

## Risks

- Previous-release story (rules/upgrade-safe-run-state.mdc): rows saved
by the previous release have no `lease_holder`. They stay token fences
and the existing claim takes them over at expiry. Neither lease outlives
5 min, so this covers at most 5 min after the upgrade. A rollback
ignores the new column.
- Unprovable holders (other host or PID space, unknown space): no
operator action. The lease is short and self-expiring; at expiry the
next claim takes it over and the old holder's next token
compare-and-swap fails. That fence is the handoff. A different host is
never proof.
- The settle only expires a lease. Finalization and cleanup still run
under their own checks (cleanup keeps its maintenance-history proofs).
Settling ownership does not settle the accepted result, workspace
preservation, or accounting.
- Migration adds a nullable column and two partial indexes on a sparse
predicate. Low risk.

## Model Used

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 ca34bed257 test(native): exited-remote-runner budget case follows provider-work attempt charging (#19963)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Two restart-recovery PRs merged independently: #19951 lets a remote
runner that exited before provider work bootstrap again, and #19948
charges a restart attempt only when the provider accepted a turn.
> - Together they change one of #19951's test expectations: at the last
attempt, the exited runner is no longer charged, so it bootstraps again
instead of hitting the budget.
> - That test now fails on master in `Verify Paperclip Runner (vitest
native server)`, which blocks other PRs.
> - This pull request updates the test to the combined behavior. Product
code does not change.
> - The benefit is a green master, with the generation-cap bound on
repeated exits still under test.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19951, #19948, #19950 (blocked by this failure).

**What happened?**
On master, the test "keeps an exited remote runner's retry held when the
bootstrap budget is spent" receives `bootstrap_incomplete` with
`chargesProviderAttempt: false` instead of `blocked /
execution_recovery_budget_exhausted`.

**What did you expect?**
The test should match the combined behavior: uncharged at the last
attempt, and blocked once the controller generation cap is reached.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts
-t "exited remote runner"` on master fails.

## What Changed

- Removed the stale budget row from the exited-runner counter-cases.
- Added two cases. An exited runner at attempt 3 bootstraps without
being charged. At `NATIVE_PROGRESS_CREDIT_GENERATION_LIMIT` it blocks
with `execution_recovery_budget_exhausted`. These mirror #19948's own
cases.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts
-t "exited remote runner|relaunched remote runner|generation cap"`: 11
pass.

## Risks

- Low. Test-only change. Repeated runner exits before provider work stay
bounded by the generation cap, which the new case covers.

## Model Used

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 f6cb3e43f4 fix(admission): admit new work independent of other runs' cleanup and accounting (#19944)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Budget admission decides if new agent work can start in a company
> - Five admission gates waited on the cleanup or accounting of other
runs
> - The restart-chaos campaign found that these gates froze companies
for up to 10 minutes, caused false budget pauses, denied in-run writes,
and dropped wakes, comments and Retries
> - The durable ownership plan (Decision 1) removes the company-wide
accounting gate. It does not narrow it again
> - This pull request removes the five gates. Unfinished accounting now
adds its bounded estimate to exposure
> - The benefit is that one run's unsettled accounting never stops the
other work in its company

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19831 (plan, section D), #19838 (inventory, finding 3), #19927
(Phase 2 reconciler data), #19497, #19724, #19826.

**What happened?**
Admission refused new work in these cases, with no reached hard stop and
no pause:
- a terminal run awaited accounting (`waitingRunCount`);
- a native run recovered its accounting (`recoveringRunCount`);
- a budget-owned scope hold awaited reconciliation, after the hard stop
no longer applied;
- a budget input was older than 15 s (`budget_evaluation_work`);
- the predecessor run row of a task was missing (`hasPendingRunCleanup`
failed closed).

**Expected behavior**
Admission never waits on the cleanup or accounting of another run. Only
a reached hard stop, an explicit pause or an inactive company refuses
new work (invariant 3).

**Steps to reproduce**
Make a company with an active budget policy. Leave one failed run with
`cost_accounting_pending = true`. Request work for another agent. On
`master` admission refuses with "Company cannot start work while
completed runs await accounting."

## What Changed

- `budgets.ts`: admission refuses only for a reached hard stop or an
explicit pause. The code removes `observedBlocks`, the
`recoveringRunCount` check, the stale `budgetHeld` refusal and the 15 s
input-age gate. It also removes the unused
`inspectInvocationEligibility`. `reconcileScope` no longer returns
accounting holds.
- `budget-exposure.ts`: removes the `waiting` and `recovering`
aggregates and the own-task subquery. The admission query is smaller.
Unfinished accounting stays exposure: the larger of the held reservation
and the observed cost.
- `budget-evaluation-work.ts`: removes `oldestBudgetInputAt`, which
nothing reads now.
- `execution-blocker.ts`: `hasPendingRunCleanup` returns false for a
missing run row. A run row that is deleted removes its finalization
coordinator and nulls its lease references, so the row owns nothing. A
predecessor that owns a lease or a coordinator still holds the successor
of its own task.
- `recovery/ownership-invariant-report.ts`: the I3 check no longer
mirrors the removed gate. It reports a wake request or a run that was
refused with an accounting-hold reason. Any such report is a regression.
- `doc/SPEC-implementation.md`: adds the product rule "Admission is
independent of cleanup and accounting". `doc/execution-semantics.md` is
aligned.

## Verification

- New `server/src/__tests__/admission-independent-of-cleanup.test.ts`,
on embedded Postgres. It has one case per gate. All six cases fail on
`master` and pass here. A seventh case (an explicit pause still refuses)
passes on both. One case also asserts invariant 3 together with
exposure: two failed runs that each hold a 400-cent reservation fill a
1000-cent budget, and a hard stop still refuses.
- Existing tests that asserted the old gates now assert admission
(invariants 3 and 4): `closed-native-receipt-accounting`,
`budgets-service`, `budget-evaluation-work`,
`heartbeat-held-comment-wake`, `ownership-reconciliation-report`. In
`heartbeat-held-comment-wake`, each saved comment, Retry, assignment and
continuation is delivered exactly once while another run's accounting is
pending. Settling accounting later does not deliver it again.
- All six files pass locally, one file per process. The server package
typecheck passes.
- Speed: admission is on the turn path. This change only removes work
from it: two correlated aggregates, one own-task subquery and one
`budget_evaluation_work` read per policy. No wait or I/O is added before
`turn.start`.
- Not run here: the chaos waves (K13 storm, K6 crash loop, K4 long
holds). The coordinating session schedules them on the shared harness.

## Risks

- Behavior change: work starts while accounting for other runs settles.
Spend stays bounded by the reservation capacity check and the hard stop,
which read the ledger plus observed cost. A run that has no reservation
and no observed cost adds zero exposure until its charge commits. This
is the gap that Decision 1 accepts. Budget enforcement was already best
effort (SPEC 11.6).
- A budget-owned pause with no reached hard stop no longer refuses work
in budget admission. The paused company or agent is still refused by the
existing pause checks until the budget worker lifts the pause.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 a4a3e342ec fix(recovery): charge a restart attempt only when the provider accepted a turn and made no progress (#19948)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A run has an execution recovery budget: three provider attempts for
native runs, and two failure retries for legacy runs
> - In the restart chaos campaign, control-plane restarts used up that
budget for runs that were healthy (RC-22, 22b, 22c, 40 and 60)
> - #19720 and #19747 fixed two variants with watermark heuristics, and
legacy interrupted preparation still spent the failure budget
> - The durable-ownership plan (section F, invariant 5) asks for one
rule: charge an attempt only when a recorded outcome proves that
provider work started and no progress followed
> - This pull request adds that rule and moves the native restart charge
and the legacy preparation retry onto it
> - The benefit is that a restart never spends budget for work the
provider never started, while real failure loops and crash loops stay
bounded

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19720, #19747, #19856

**What happened?**
A control-plane restart charges a provider attempt by heuristics. The
first crash restart always charges. A later restart charges unless the
previous resume had no start evidence (#19747) or completed work
(#19720). A runner that spawned but whose provider never accepted a turn
counted as started, so a K6 crash loop could still spend the budget.
Legacy runs whose preparation a restart interrupted
(`providerWorkStarted: false`) spent `failureRetries`, the same counter
as real failures (`execution-recovery-attempt.ts`).

**Expected behavior**
An attempt is charged only when the provider accepted a turn
(`turn.accepted` or `turn.started`) and no accepted turn then completed
work. A startup before spawn, a runner that spawned but was never
admitted, and a `turn.start` the provider did not accept are not
charged. The generation-12 cap still bounds uncharged restarts.

**Steps to reproduce**
Start a native run at its last attempt. Kill the controller after the
runner spawns but before the provider accepts a turn. Before this
change, the next restart claim blocks the run with
`execution_recovery_budget_exhausted`.

## What Changed

- New `server/src/services/native-runtime/provider-attempt-outcome.ts`:
the one rule. `readProviderAttemptOutcome()` returns
`provider_not_started`, `provider_started_without_progress` or
`provider_progressed` from run events. `providerAttemptChargesBudget()`
charges only the second. `providerAttemptWindowStart()` starts the
attempt window at the latest `native.process_start_requested`, so
earlier work never counts for a later attempt.
`PROVIDER_ATTEMPT_CREDIT_GENERATION_LIMIT` (12) is the shared cap.
- `restartResumeKeepsAttempt()` (`native-restart-recovery.ts`) now
applies that rule to the attempt the restart interrupted, including the
first restart. It keeps the unstarted-resume carry from #19747, the
reattachment rule (an adopted provider counts as started), the drain
exemption from #19625, and the generation-12 cap. A history entry from
an older release without a recorded position still charges.
- Legacy runs: `interrupted_preparation` is now an uncharged retry lane
(`execution-recovery-attempt.ts`). It keeps its own counter, bounded at
the same cap (12), and never changes `failureRetries`. `retries.ts` uses
the longest transient delay after the second lane attempt.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md` states the rule.
- Accounting has its own "provider work started" readers (inventory
Summary finding 5). Phase 3 owns those; this PR exposes the rule for
them to adopt and does not change them.

## Verification

- `native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts` (embedded
Postgres, real `claimNativeRestartRecoveries`): 129 passed. New cases,
red on master:
- not charged at the last attempt for a claimed remote bootstrap, a
remote bootstrap retry, and a claimed unlaunched remote run;
- not charged when the runner spawned but was never admitted, and when
the provider did not accept `turn.start`;
- not charged on the first restart when the original attempt already
made progress;
- a normal retry that spawned but was never admitted is not charged, and
earlier work still does not count for it.
- Counter-cases, green on master and with the change: an accepted
`turn.accepted` or `turn.started` with no progress is charged; the
generation cap blocks at the last attempt; crash loops with and without
progress stay bounded; the #19720 and #19747 cases still pass.
- `execution-recovery-attempt.test.ts`: new lane tests (red on master).
- `workspace-recovery-preparation-dispatch.test.ts` (25 passed),
`heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts` (interrupted-run cases),
`run-dispatch/adapters/postgres.test.ts` (interrupted cases).
- `server` typecheck (`scripts/typecheck-layers.mjs`, low-memory mode):
no errors.
- Not run: chaos waves (the coordinator schedules them on this host),
and the full server suite (CI covers it).

## Risks

- Behavior change: the first crash restart no longer charges when no
accepted turn is recorded. If a crash lands before the controller
projects the provider's `turn.accepted`, that attempt is not charged.
This fails toward more retries, and the generation-12 cap bounds it.
- A legacy preparation crash loop now gets up to 12 retries instead of
2. Each retry still passes the normal issue gates and keeps the
transient delay.
- The new queries use the `(run_id, seq)` index, once per restart claim.
Nothing new runs before `turn.start`.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 c6e4ed1547 feat(recovery): settle a claimed wake whose run finished without settling it (#19934)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A wake request is claimed by the run that handles it, and that run
marks it finished.
> - In a K4 chaos wave (#19927), native restart recovery blocked a run
and ended it, but left its assignment wake `claimed`. Nothing ever
released it.
> - The durable-ownership plan settles such records on one shared path,
by proof, never by age.
> - This pull request registers a settle for `wake_request_claimed`. It
is Phase 2's second kind and is stacked on the accepted-result lease PR.
> - The benefit is that no run-ending path can strand a claimed wake.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19831 (plan), #19861 (registry), #19927 (the data that found
this). Stacked on #19933 (it adds the `settle` hook).

**What happened?**
Run `7c45860b…` failed with `native_restart_recovery_blocked`
(`execution_recovery_budget_exhausted`) at 23:19:41. Its wake
`6b3c4cce…` stayed `claimed` until the end of the wave (23:44 and
later). Rule I2 flagged it.

**What did you expect?**
A claimed wake ends when its run ends, with the run's outcome.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. `node cli/node_modules/tsx/dist/cli.mjs tests/restart-chaos/main.ts
--env local --faults K4 --k4-hold-max-seconds 600 --tasks 6
--concurrency 3 --seed 9203 --keep`
2. Look for `agent_wakeup_requests` rows with status `claimed` whose run
is terminal.

## What Changed

- New `recovery/wake-request-claimed-settlement.ts`: when the owner run
is terminal, and for a native run its coordinator is `committed` or
`terminal_failure`, the claim gets the run's outcome. That is
`completed` for a succeeded run and otherwise the run's status, as run
completion and native terminal projection already do. It is
compare-and-swap on the claim (id, run, status `claimed`).
- `ownership-registry.ts`: `wake_request_claimed` registers that settle.
- `native-finalization-reconciler.ts`: the pass log line includes the
settled count per kind.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/ownership-reconciliation-report.test.ts`: 17 pass,
including the new case. It covers a blocked native run, a native run
whose projection is still pending (kept), a succeeded legacy run, a live
run (kept), and a read-only pass (no change).
- Red/green (test written after the code): the new test fails on master
and passes here.
- Server typecheck passes.

## Risks

- No persisted shape changes, so there is no previous-release story
beyond this: claims saved by an older release are settled the same way.
- Race with the run's own settle: it waits for a native coordinator to
be final. For a legacy run, both write the same status, so the race is
idempotent.
- No change adds work before `turn.start`.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 83dec71a8f fix(runner): return the edited agent's link and effect in instruction save receipts (#19940)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - In chat, a person can ask the CEO agent to change another agent's
saved instructions
> - The native instruction tools save the change, but their receipts
contain no link to the edited agent
> - Completion feedback tells the agent to use only hrefs that tools
returned and not to guess routes
> - So the agent can not link the agent it changed, and it has no
grounded fact about when the change applies
> - This pull request adds the edited agent's real profile href and the
save's effect to the save and restore receipts
> - The benefit is a chat reply that lets the person open the changed
agent and know which runs use the new rule

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19344

**What happened**
A person asked in chat: "Add a rule for Morgan to run the relevant tests
before handing work back." The agent saved the rule correctly and kept
concurrent human guidance. The reply did not link Morgan and did not say
when the rule applies. The run's tool events show the cause:
`update_agent_instructions` returned the revision but no href, and the
accepted `paperclip_finish` feedback said "Do not guess routes or invent
links when no resource href was returned."

**Expected behavior**
After an instruction save or restore, the agent has a real profile href
for the edited agent and a statement of when the saved instructions take
effect. The reply links the agent and explains that later runs use the
change.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. In a chat with the CEO agent, ask it to add a rule to another agent's
instructions.
2. Let the agent call `update_agent_instructions`.
3. Read the tool receipt. It contains no href for the edited agent and
no effect statement.

## What Changed

- `update_agent_instructions` and `restore_agent_instructions` receipts
now include `resourceLinks` with the edited agent's company-scoped
profile href (`/<prefix>/agents/<agentId>`) and name.
- The same receipts include `appliesTo`. It states that runs that start
after the save use the new instructions and that runs in progress keep
their snapshot. This matches `materializeInstructionBundle`, which reads
the committed head when it builds the run context.
- The link uses the agent id, which is unique. It does not use the
name-derived URL key.

## Verification

- `cd server && pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/agent-instruction-tools.integration.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/agent-instruction-tools.test.ts`: 14 passed.
- Without the source change, the new assertions fail in 3 tests (update
receipt and both lost-acknowledgement recovery receipts).
- The recovery test confirms that the persisted receipt, which recovery
replays, also carries the link.
- The end-to-end chat eval `agents.edit-instructions` runs this change
on its case branch.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change adds fields to a tool receipt. Existing fields do
not change.
- Receipts that were saved before this change replay without the new
fields. That is acceptable: the agent then has no link, as before.

## Model Used

- Anthropic Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), tool use and code
execution in Claude Code.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 196108acb9 fix(native): bootstrap again when a relaunched remote runner exited before provider work (#19951)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Restart recovery decides whether an interrupted native run can
resume, bootstrap again, or must wait for a person.
> - A remote run is blocked as "ambiguous" when recovery cannot prove
what reached the sandbox runner.
> - In a Daytona chaos wave (#19947), two runs were blocked even though
the controller had recorded that the relaunched runner exited before any
provider work.
> - This pull request accepts that recorded runner exit as proof and
bootstraps the run again, under the existing attempt budget.
> - The benefit is that a restart no longer turns a run with no provider
work into a failed, blocked run.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19947 (Daytona data), #19831 (durable-ownership plan), #19934 (the
stuck claimed wake from the same runs).

**What happened?**
Wave `w-20261108T012041-s9301`, runs `450f277d…` and `9b93d40c…`, went
through this sequence:
1. Restart recovery proved the remote bootstrap incomplete and
relaunched it.
2. The new runner exited: "runnerd exited while waiting for
run.prepare". The executor settled `bootstrap_retry` with
`providerSessionEstablished: false`, `providerEventsExist: false` and
`checkpointExists: false`.
3. The next restart recovery saw the recorded runner PID and blocked the
run as `ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`.

**What did you expect?**
Bootstrap again, because the runner is proven gone and no provider work
happened.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts
-t "relaunched remote runner"` fails on master with `blocked /
ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`.

## What Changed

- `native-restart-recovery.ts`: new proof
`remoteRunnerExitedBeforeProviderWork`. It applies to a remote sandbox
with a prepared workspace and a settled `bootstrap_retry` failure whose
original code is `native_runner_process_exited`, with no provider
session, events or checkpoint and no lease or successor. Such a run is
classified as `bootstrap_incomplete`
(`remote_runner_exited_before_provider_work`). It passes the same retry
admission check as `remote_runner_never_launched`, and the same
three-attempt budget.
- Tests: the s9301-shaped retry plus five counter-cases.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts
-t "exited remote runner|relaunched remote runner|remote bootstrap
retry|never requested a runner|exact-checkpoint retry"`: 14 pass.
- Red/green: the new bootstrap test and the budget counter-case failed
on master (both returned `blocked / ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`,
the same as the s9301 rows) and pass here. The other four counter-cases
(not a runner exit, session established, provider events, checkpoint)
block on both.
- Loop: focused vitest with one embedded Postgres, 26–50 s.
- Not run locally: the server typecheck and the full suite (memory
limits on this host). Required CI covers them.

## Risks

- Fail-open risk: the proof needs the executor's own settled record of a
runner exit with no provider work, plus a fresh check that no checkpoint
or provider evidence exists. A recorded PID without the exit record
still blocks, as before.
- Previous-release story (rules/upgrade-safe-run-state.mdc): no
persisted shape changes. Rows without these failure fields keep today's
outcome.
- Nothing runs before `turn.start`. This is restart recovery only.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 f5400e2594 feat(recovery): settle the accepted-result lease on the shared ownership path (#19933)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A control-plane restart can kill the controller after an agent's
result is accepted. The result then stays leased to a dead process.
> - Today a private sweep (`native-dead-controller-result-lease.ts`,
#19713) proves that controller dead with its own liveness rules.
> - The durable-ownership plan (#19831) replaces private proofs with one
prover (`proveOwnerGone`, #19853) and one registry (#19861).
> - This pull request moves the accepted-result executor lease to that
shared path and deletes the private sweep. It is Phase 2's first kind.
> - The benefit is one tested rule for when a dead owner's result lease
is released, and the reconciler now repairs a lease that restart
recovery missed.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19831 (plan), #19853 (prover), #19861 (registry), #19713 (old
sweep), #19883 (legacy host fallback), #19927 (Phase 2 data).

**What happened?**
The accepted-result lease had its own liveness proof, separate from the
shared prover. The reconciler could only report a dead owner, not settle
it. When restart recovery missed a lease, it waited out the 20-minute
lease.

**What did you expect?**
One prover decides, and both restart recovery and the periodic
reconciler pass settle a lease whose controller is proven gone.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Accept a native run result.
2. Kill the controller (SIGKILL) and start a new server.
3. If the restart sweep does not see the row, the result stays leased
until the lease expires.

## What Changed

- `ownership-registry.ts`: a kind may register `settle` and
`onUnprovable`. `native_accepted_result_lease` registers both. Other
kinds stay report-only.
- New `native-accepted-result-lease-settlement.ts`: a compare-and-swap
settle that expires exactly the proven owner's lease. It keeps the old
guards: the run must still be `running`, remote copyback stays fenced,
and a lease taken over since the proof is left alone.
- `ownership-invariant-report.ts`: the pass calls `settle` on `gone` and
`onUnprovable` on `unprovable`. A read-only pass (`record: false`) never
settles. New `settleOwnableKind()` for restart recovery.
- `heartbeat/recovery.ts`: restart recovery calls
`settleOwnableKind("native_accepted_result_lease")` instead of the old
sweep.
- Deleted `native-dead-controller-result-lease.ts`.
- `owner-proof.ts`: accepts a board attestation (`operator_attested`).
It also keeps the one-release local fallback for rows saved before their
PID space was recorded, on single-host servers only, and flags each use
so it is logged (`legacy_host_unknown_dead_pid_proof`, #19883). An
ephemeral server returns `unprovable` (`process_space_unrecorded`) and
the existing "confirm the previous server stopped" board action is
raised.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-native-restart-suspension.test.ts`: 27 pass, 7
of them new.
- `npx vitest run src/services/owner-proof.test.ts
src/__tests__/ownership-reconciliation-report.test.ts`: pass.
- Red/green (tests written after the code): 5 new behaviour tests fail
on master and pass here. They cover the ephemeral board action, the
reconciler-pass settle, the live-owner counter-case in that pass, the
legacy marker, and operator attestation. The stamped-dead-controller and
foreign-PID-space cases pass on both, as the old path behaved the same.
- Server typecheck passes (`npx tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json`).
- Not run locally: the full server suite (`pnpm verify` asks for broad
coverage because a file was deleted). Required CI covers it.

## Risks

- Previous-release story (rules/upgrade-safe-run-state.mdc): NRF rows
saved before #19868 have no `controller_host_hash`. They keep the same
one-release local proof as before on single-host servers, and each use
is logged. On ephemeral servers they stay unprovable and ask the board,
as before. Rows on another PID space keep their lease (the fence), as
before.
- Fail-open risk: settle is compare-and-swap on the lease token, boot,
PID, host hash and start time of the proven owner. An `unprovable` owner
is never released. Live-owner and foreign-space cases are tested.
- No change adds work before `turn.start`.

## Model Used

tool use (shell, file edits).

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 18644a3263 feat(recovery): instrument 20 durable write boundaries with crash points (#19938)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A control-plane restart between two durable writes leaves an
in-progress record owned by a dead process
> - #19937 added `crashPoint(name)` and a registry of 20 named
boundaries from the Phase 0 inventory
> - A name without a call site cannot fire, so the crash-point suite
cannot test it
> - This pull request puts one call at each registered boundary and adds
a test that keeps the registry and the call sites in step
> - The benefit is that the on-demand suite (next pull request) can kill
the control plane at every known write-ahead gap

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19831 (plan, Phase 5). Refs #19846 (inventory, "Write-ahead
coverage"). Stacked on #19937 (helper and registry). Refs #19861
(ownable kind ids).

**Problem**
The registered crash points have no call sites.

**Expected behavior**
Each registered point is called at its gap: after the first durable
write or outside effect returns, before the next one starts. Disarmed
(always in production) each call is one comparison.

**Scope**
Call sites and a coverage test only. The suite runner and CI workflow
follow.

## What Changed

- Server call sites (`@paperclipai/shared/crash-points`):
- `sandbox-creation-operations.ts`: around the provider `create` call
(intent → provider → lease).
- `native-session-executor.ts`: after `native.process_start_requested`,
before spawn.
- `paperclip-control-plane-port.ts`: after the result-accept
transaction, before finalization starts (only when a result was
inserted).
- `native-run-finalizer.ts`: after `commitNativeStatusDecision`, before
the run projection.
- `workspace-operations.ts`: `workspace_finalize` only — after the
running row, and after `settle()` before the done row.
- `environment-runtime.ts`: provider release → lease row; teardown claim
→ destroy; reusable destroy → lease release; stop-and-retain claim →
stop.
- `heartbeat.ts`: lease release → runtime services; budget reservation
hold → dispatch.
- `heartbeat/queue.ts`: run claimed `running` → wake request `claimed`.
- `run-cost-accounting.ts`, `usage-receipts.ts`: accounting commit →
spool unlink; receipt spool → DB row → unlink.
- `packages/paperclip-runner/src/crash-point.ts`: a small copy of the
helper for controller code in this package, which does not depend on
`@paperclipai/shared` (adding that dependency would change the runner
content ID). It arms only `runner.*` names. runnerd never sees the
variable: its environment is an allowlist.
- Runner call sites: after the runnerd spawn, before its identity is
published (both spawn paths); `turn.start` result received → controller
journal saved → next send.
- `server/src/__tests__/crash-point-call-sites.test.ts`: every
registered point has a call site, every call names a registered point,
and every `kinds` entry is an ownable kind id of the Phase 1 registry.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/crash-point-call-sites.test.ts` → 3 passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` → clean. `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec tsc --noEmit -p .` → clean.
- Behavior with nothing armed is unchanged: each call returns at its
first comparison (measured in #19937: about 3.7 ns).

## Risks

- Low risk. No call changes control flow unless `PAPERCLIP_CRASH_POINT`
names it and `NODE_ENV` is not `production`.
- Points on the path before `turn.start` (process start, runner spawn)
cost nanoseconds, within plan invariant 8.
- `usage-receipts.ts`: the persist-then-unlink one-liner became a block
with the same statements in the same order.
- The runner package change gives the runner a new content ID, as any
runner source change does. No persisted run state changes
(rules/upgrade-safe-run-state.mdc).

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, via Claude Code with
tool use (shell, file edits) and a read-only exploration subagent that
mapped the boundaries.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 f35eb1e5ef fix(observability): judge the TTFT budget from run creation; report the wait behind a live turn (#19941)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Invariant 8 of the durable-ownership plan says turns must start
fast. #19863 added per-run speed budgets that write
`run.performance.budget_exceeded` to the run log.
> - The Phase 2 chaos data (#19927) showed follow-up TTFT about 3x over
the claude budget.
> - The cause is measurement scope. A follow-up comment posted during a
live turn waits for that turn to end, and TTFT is anchored at the
comment. The budgets came from idle follow-ups.
> - This pull request judges the TTFT budget from run creation and
reports the wait separately.
> - The benefit is that budget breaches point at real start-up slowness,
not at time spent behind a turn the user is already watching.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19863 (speed budgets), #19927 (Phase 2 data), #19852 (startup
sub-spans), #19888 (warm default).

**What happened?**
In two local storm waves, C1 follow-up runs breached the claude warm
TTFT budget (p50 27.6–29.9 s against 9.5 s). Their spans show
`comment.to_run_created` at 6–62 s (waiting for the live turn), then
session resume at 1.4–3.8 s and submit-to-first-event at 2–5 s. Codex
without the wait was about 4.8 s, the same as the warm-follow-up
baseline.

**What did you expect?**
The budget should judge start-up latency, which is what its baseline
measured. The wait behind a live turn should be visible but not judged.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a local chaos storm with C1 tasks.
2. Read `run.performance.budget_exceeded` rows with metric `ttft` for
`issue_commented` runs, and compare them with each run's
`comment.to_run_created` span.

## What Changed

- `native-run-trace.ts`: the TTFT budget check measures from run
creation (start of `heartbeat.queue`, or end of the ingress span). The
TTFT span itself does not change.
- `native-speed-budgets.ts`: breaches can carry `inputWaitMs` (TTFT
only).
- `tests/restart-chaos/ttft-baseline-stats.ts` and `ttft-baseline.ts`:
the wait behind a live turn is its own measured step (`inputWait`), next
to the full TTFT and the TTFT from run creation. The TTFT table gains a
"Wait behind live turn" column. The full comment-to-first-token time
stays the user-visible metric.
- `doc/run-log-events.md` and the plan's speed-budget section describe
the rule.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-speed-budgets.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-run-trace.test.ts`: 43 pass, 2 new.
`pnpm exec vitest run --config tests/restart-chaos/vitest.config.ts
tests/restart-chaos/ttft-baseline-stats.test.ts`: 12 pass, 1 new. They
cover a follow-up under budget after a 60 s wait (no breach), a
follow-up over budget (breach with `inputWaitMs`), and queueing after
run creation still judged.
- Server typecheck passes.

## Risks

- Low. This is a run-log-only change (AGENTS.md §5.7): no Telemetry and
no span attributes change.
- A slow wait before run creation is no longer a TTFT budget breach. The
TTFT span still records it, and the breach payload names it. Admission
holds after run creation are still judged.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 2d89486c57 fix(native): record OpenCode's rejected model as a model rejection (#19865)
## Thinking Path

- Paperclip runs agents through native providers; when a provider
rejects the selected model, the person needs to see "Model unavailable"
and choose another model.
- #19548 made the OpenCode driver report OpenRouter's invalid model ID
as a closed `model_unavailable` provider failure. The task banner now
shows it.
- The server's terminal classifier, however, recognized a model
rejection only from Codex's exact ChatGPT error envelope. OpenCode's
structured failure was stored for the banner but the run was recorded as
`adapter_failed`.
- So chat showed a generic failure, and the task was not blocked for a
model choice. The `runs-adapters.inspect-failed-run` chat eval caught
this.
- This change maps an action-required `model_unavailable` failure to
`native_provider_model_rejected` for any provider.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19548. An OpenCode run whose model OpenRouter rejects (`... is not
a valid model ID`, HTTP 400) finishes with `errorCode: adapter_failed`.
Expected: `native_provider_model_rejected`, as for Codex.

## What Changed

- `native-provider-failure.ts`: `forTerminal` returns
`native_provider_model_rejected` when the failed turn's provider failure
has category `model_unavailable` and retryability `requires_action`.
Transient or unknown retryability still returns null. The diagnostic is
the closed turn diagnostic; no provider text or model name is copied.
- `NATIVE_MODEL_REJECTION_MESSAGE` no longer names a ChatGPT connection,
since it is now the blocker text for any provider.
- Tests for both providers, plus negative cases for transient/unknown
retryability.
- `wake-queue/adapters/postgres.ts`: a native run that failed for a
rejected model or incomplete configuration, on a task the arbiter
already blocked, is released without opening a
`native_continuation_requires_reconciliation` incident. That incident
put the run in `recovery_needed`, which hid the run page's Retry, though
the provider refused the request and nothing ran to reconcile. Queued
messages stay deferred.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-provider-failure.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/status-arbiter.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-provider-failure.integration.test.ts`
(server): 98 passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run src/modules/wake-queue` (server): passes,
including a new test that fails on the old code (it opened the
incident).
- Server `tsc --noEmit`: clean.
- End to end: the `runs-adapters.inspect-failed-run` chat eval will be
rerun on the chat-eval candidate with this change.

## Risks

- Codex model-rejection blocker wording changes from "current ChatGPT
connection" to "current AI connection".
- Any provider driver that reports `model_unavailable` with
`requires_action` now blocks the task for a model choice instead of the
generic failure path, which disables automatic adapter-failure retries
for that run. That is the intended behavior for a rejected model.
- Configuration-failure native runs on a blocked task no longer get a
board reconciliation incident. If such a run had already produced side
effects in earlier turns, they are not flagged for reconciliation; a
provider model rejection happens before the turn does work.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 cbf811cd3b fix(recovery): prove a replaced deployment's copyback owner gone automatically (#19913)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs save their workspace after the result is accepted, under
a copyback owner receipt
> - A deploy can restart the server while that save is in progress
> - The new server runs in a new container, so it cannot see the old
process and fails closed
> - The run then waits on a board action that asks a person to verify
the previous controller
> - Recoveries must continue without a human step, and copy must not ask
anyone to inspect a server
> - This pull request adds a deployment-level rule to the shared
owner-liveness primitive and uses it in workspace finalization
> - The benefit is that a save interrupted by a deploy resumes on its
own, with no second writer

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A deploy restarted the server while three runs were saving their
accepted results. Each run kept a copyback owner receipt that names the
old Railway deployment on another container. The restarted server
reported `native_workspace_finalization_owner_unverified`, owned by the
board, with the next action "Verify the previous controller and its
workspace-copyback processes have stopped...". The cloud harness stop
receipt did not arrive, so the runs stayed in "Recovery needed" for
about an hour, until a person confirmed the stop by hand.

**Expected behavior**
The restarted server proves that the previous controller is gone,
resumes the save, and settles the run with no human step. No user-facing
text asks a person to verify a server or controller.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a native run on a Railway service with a volume.
2. Let the result be accepted and the workspace save start.
3. Deploy, so that the server restarts during the save.
4. See that the run waits for a board confirmation.

**Paperclip version or commit**
Observed on e2d490c61. Reproduced on master before this change. The
owner-proof work in #19848, #19851, #19853, #19868, #19871 and #19883
does not cover this shape: `proveOwnerGone` returns `unprovable`
(`different_host`) for an owner on another container.

## What Changed

- `owner-proof.ts`: `LocalOwnerStamp` can carry the platform `worker`
(deployment identity). `ProcessProbe` can carry this process's
deployment and whether the platform gives it an exclusive volume. New
verdict reason `deployment_replaced`.
- New rule in `proveOwnerGone`, after the current-boot check: the owner
is gone when this server runs with a Railway volume
(`RAILWAY_VOLUME_ID`, `RAILWAY_VOLUME_MOUNT_PATH`) and the stamp names
the same project, environment and service with a different deployment
ID. Railway stops the previous deployment before it mounts the volume
into the new one, and a service with a volume has no replicas. So every
process of the old deployment, including orphaned copyback children, has
exited.
- `native-workspace-finalization-ownership.ts`: evaluate that proof
before the cloud harness request. On `deployment_replaced`, claim the
exact owner receipt under the existing advisory lock and row-lock
revalidation, log `issue.workspace_owner_stop_verified` with
`deploymentProof`, mark the recovery `resuming`, and continue the save
with no provider turn. Other cases keep the harness request and the
existing fences.
- New owner receipts also record the mounted volume ID (`volumeId`).
When a receipt has it, the proof requires this server to mount the same
volume. Both `RAILWAY_VOLUME_ID` and `RAILWAY_VOLUME_MOUNT_PATH` must be
set. The finalizer reaches this check only while it holds the run's
copyback advisory lock, so the old owner's lock session has also ended.
- Copy: the hold's next action, the route conflict and the two Retry
wait messages now describe the wait. They no longer ask a person to
verify a server or controller. The hold's text still names the Resume
saved result action for platforms where neither this rule nor the
harness can confirm the stop.
- `doc/native-workspace-finalization-recovery.md`: describe the rule.

Previous-release story: receipts written by earlier releases already
record `worker.deploymentId`, so they carry forward and take this path
after the upgrade. No schema change.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-workspace-owner-restart-recovery.test.ts
src/services/owner-proof.test.ts`
- Before the fix: "resumes the interrupted save automatically, with no
board action" fails (`acquired: false`).
  - After the fix: all pass.
- The restart test seeds the staging receipt shape (old deployment,
other hostname, PID 3, existing `operator_required` hold). It checks
that the save resumes once, the hold becomes `resuming`, the task
presentation no longer waits for a user, the receipt clears, and no
agent wake is created.
- Negative cases stay fenced: same deployment, a service without a
volume, a half-configured volume, another service, another environment,
and a receipt that names a different volume. Unit tests cover the same
rule in `proveOwnerGone`, including that the current boot stays alive.
- Related suites pass: finalizer, queued-wake recovery, route ownership,
workspace recovery gates and dispatch, explicit continuation, recovery
services (1005 tests).
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` passes.

## Risks

- The rule depends on Railway volume exclusivity. It applies only when
this server has a volume mounted and the receipt names the same service
and environment. Without a volume, the existing harness and board paths
still apply.
- A receipt from a deployment that ran before the volume was attached
could, in theory, overlap during that one redeploy. Volumes are attached
at stack creation, so this is not a practical case.
- Copy changes are text only. Error codes are unchanged.

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, with tool use and code
execution in Claude Code.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 99529f9d71 feat(observability): local speed budgets and a run-log budget check (#19863)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - When someone messages an agent, the reply must start as fast as
possible, and restart-safety work must not slow it
> - The durable ownership plan makes this invariant 8 ("fast turns") and
asks Phase 1 to turn the Phase 0 baseline into p50/p95 budgets per
adapter
> - Without budgets, a regression in time to first token, agent boot or
restart recovery shows up only when someone reruns the baseline by hand
> - This pull request records the budgets and adds a per-run check that
writes a run-log row when a run exceeds its p95 budget
> - The benefit is that every later phase can show "no regression
against the budgets" from the run log, without new waits on the turn
path

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19831 (plan, "Performance constraint", rule 4, and invariant 8).
Refs #19846 (the Phase 0 baseline these budgets come from). Stacked on
#19861.

**Problem**
The plan requires p50/p95 budgets per adapter for TTFT, agent boot and
restart recovery latency, and a check against them. Neither exists.

**Expected behavior**
Budgets are recorded in the plan and in code. A run that exceeds a p95
budget gets one run-log row that names the metric, the measurement and
the budget.

**Impact**
Phase 2–5 exit criteria can cite budget breaches from chaos waves and
staging. The check adds no wait before `turn.start`.

## What Changed

- New `server/src/services/native-runtime/native-speed-budgets.ts`: the
local budget table (codex, claude, opencode) for TTFT and agent boot
(cold and warm) and restart recovery latency. Each budget is 1.2× the
baseline, rounded up to 0.5 s. `evaluateSpeedBudget` judges one run
against p95. An unknown start kind uses the looser budget. Remote runs
and adapters without a baseline are not judged.
- `native-run-trace.ts`: the trace takes an optional `budget` subject.
It checks `task.time_to_first_token`, agent boot (end of
`heartbeat.queue` to the end of the first `runner.turn.submit` or
`runner.session.resume`) and restart recovery once each. It writes
`run.performance.budget_exceeded` through `defer`, so the write is
detached from the event path. `finish` now drains diagnostics that defer
more work.
- `native-session-executor.ts`: passes the adapter and environment to
the trace, labels cold or warm at the existing `provider_session` reuse
receipts, and checks restart recovery at a recovered run's first
provider event, measured from the startup recovery `ready` time.
- Docs: budget tables in
`doc/plans/2026-11-07-durable-ownership-and-reconciliation.md` ("Speed
budgets (Phase 1)"), and the new event in `doc/run-log-events.md`.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-speed-budgets.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-run-trace.test.ts` (in `server/`): 34
tests pass. They cover:
  - every budget has p50 ≤ p95;
  - the provider-to-adapter mapping;
  - p95 judgement, and the looser budget when the start kind is unknown;
- one breach for a slow boot, and none for a second submit or a fast
TTFT;
  - a deferred TTFT breach is written before the trace closes;
  - restart recovery is checked once;
  - remote runs and runs with no budget subject write nothing.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server`: no errors.

## Risks

- Low risk. This is a run-log change only (AGENTS.md §5.7, no extra
review). The OTLP and Telemetry paths are unchanged.
- The baseline samples are small (2–12 per cell) on a shared host.
Budgets carry 20% headroom, and the codex restart budget (8.0 s p95) is
tight. Expect some breach rows on a loaded machine. They are diagnostics
and change no behavior.
- Restart-recovery budgets use run 4 of the baseline, as merged in
#19846.
- Restart recovery is measured from the startup recovery `ready` time to
the first provider event, which matches the baseline definition.
- Previous-release story: no persisted run state changes. The new event
is additive.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 177f642da7 fix(recovery): continue native runs that failed before their first claim (#19911)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs go through a coordinator claim before any provider work
starts
> - A run can fail before that claim, for example while it restores the
previous harness backup
> - The failure path then records a no-replay hold, as if the run had
acted
> - Workspace recovery saves the files, but the task stays blocked and
asks a person to send a message
> - Recoveries must continue without a human step when no side effect is
possible
> - This pull request lets the existing safe-replacement worker continue
such runs once, after their files are saved
> - The benefit is that these tasks resume automatically, and runs that
may have acted keep today's reconciliation

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
Native runs that failed before their first coordinator claim were never
continued automatically. They had no claim, no provider process and no
provider or tool events. Their result recorded `executionRecovery: {
kind: "bootstrap", providerWorkStarted: false }`. The failure path still
moved the coordinator to `terminal_failure` with
`native_continuation_requires_reconciliation` and recorded a resolved
`preserve_without_replay_v1` hold (replay blocked, board owner).
Workspace recovery then saved the files, but the next action stayed
"Saved work recovered. Send a message to continue."
`nativeReplacementPending` accepted only a few failure codes, and the
interrupted-preparation path covers only legacy runs.

**Expected behavior**
When a native run provably failed before its first claim, Paperclip
continues it once, automatically, after its files are saved (or when it
had no workspace to save). Runs with a claim, a process, a provider or
tool event, or recorded provider work keep the existing reconciliation.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a native run with a remote workspace.
2. Make it fail before `native.coordinator.claim` (for example, abort
the harness-backup restore).
3. Let workspace recovery save the files.
4. See that the task stays blocked and asks for a message.

**Paperclip version or commit**
Observed on e2d490c61. Reproduced on master before this change.

Refs #19906 (fixes the restore deadline that caused the observed
failures).

## What Changed

- `native-safe-replacement.ts`: add one class-level candidate, "failed
before its first claim". It requires the
`native_continuation_requires_reconciliation` coordinator at attempt 0
and controller generation 0, with no lease, assessment, decision or
result.
- The candidate also requires no process identity, no `sessionIdAfter`,
no provider/turn/item/tool/`run.result` events, no tool invocations,
`providerWorkStarted` not `true`, no Stop or cancellation, no explicit
user continuation, and no later run for the task.
- A no-replay hold must have completed file recovery (the existing
`completedWorkspaceRecoveryCondition`). A blocked task must carry this
failure's block receipt at the current status version.
- Discovery checks saved-file evidence (snapshot, stopped sandbox) or a
workspace-less run before it selects the candidate.
- The reconciler skips the stopped-session probe for this class. It
feeds the decision with known failure meaning and a complete effect
inventory, since no provider ran. It rechecks the candidate under the
task and coordinator locks before it inserts the successor.
- The successor is the existing fresh-session `native_safe_replacement`.
Its context carries `nativePreClaimContinuationOf`, so a failed
successor is not continued again. The existing transaction resolves the
hold (`replay: verified_safe_replacement`) and restores the task block.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: describe the rule.

Previous-release story: holds recorded by earlier releases (resolved,
`replay: blocked`) carry forward. The test seeds that exact shape. No
schema or persisted identity changes.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-preclaim-continuation.test.ts`
- Before the fix: "continues automatically exactly once after its saved
work is recovered" fails (no successor).
  - After the fix: all 9 tests pass.
- The tests cover: the staging shape with an old-release hold continues
exactly once under concurrent and repeated sweeps; it waits for saved
files; it does not chain from its own successor; and it keeps
reconciliation when the coordinator claimed, a provider event exists, a
tool call started, provider work is recorded, a process started, or a
later run owns the task.
- `npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-safe-replacement.test.ts` passes (62
tests).
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` passes.

## Risks

- The successor uses a fresh provider session, like the other safe
replacements. History comes from `retryOfRunId`.
- The new predicate adds one indexed `not exists` on `heartbeat_runs
(company_id, context_snapshot->>'issueId', created_at)` per candidate.
It runs only for the narrow pre-claim failure code.
- A run whose prepared workspace uses the older `nativeWorkspaceSync`
descriptor without remote-workspace evidence stays held, as today.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, with tool use and code
execution in Claude Code.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 76994c5027 fix(native): bound failover backup restores by inactivity, not total time (#19906)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A native per-turn session that continues an earlier conversation
first restores its failover backup from durable storage. This happens
before the coordinator claim, so no provider has started.
> - That restore ran under a fixed 300 s total deadline
(`AbortSignal.timeout(300_000)`). The deadline covers the download and
the local decrypt, digest, extraction and provider-artifact steps.
> - On staging, restore time for resumed sessions grew during the day.
It reached 300 s, and then every resumed run of one review agent failed
with the generic "The operation was aborted". Fresh sessions were not
affected.
> - A failure at this point also enters the saved-work reconciliation
path, so the user request stopped.
> - This pull request bounds each durable read by inactivity instead of
total time. A slow transfer continues while bytes arrive. A read that
stops sending bytes fails with a named code.
> - The benefit is that resumed sessions no longer fail only because
their backup is large or the store is slow.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19894 (adds the same idle-deadline rule for workspace snapshot
reads; this PR covers the separate native failover-backup reads).

**What happened?**

On staging, a PR-review agent had 17 runs fail in about 80 minutes. Each
failure had the message "The operation was aborted" and the code
`native_continuation_requires_reconciliation`. Every failing run resumed
an existing session (`sessionIdBefore` set, per-turn lifecycle). Every
fresh-session run in the same window succeeded. In each failing run, the
error came 304–309 s after the `environment.startup` span, and no
`native.coordinator.claim` span was recorded. The run result had
`executionRecovery: { kind: "bootstrap", providerWorkStarted: false }`.
Earlier resumed runs of the same agent show the time from
`environment.startup` to `native.coordinator.claim` growing from about
30 s to about 200 s before the failures started. The only fixed 300 s
deadline on that path is the failover-backup restore in
`restoreDurableHarnessForExecution`.

**Expected behavior**

A resumed session restores its backup when the store keeps sending
bytes, even when the total time is more than five minutes. A read that
stalls fails with a named, diagnosable code. A failed restore publishes
no partial backup and keeps the saved backup.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Persist a native failover backup with provider artifacts.
2. Restore it through a storage reader that sends bytes slowly, so the
full restore takes longer than the deadline.
3. Before this change, the restore fails with "The operation was
aborted". A reader that stops sending bytes, with no caller deadline,
waits indefinitely.

## What Changed

- `native-harness-backup-storage.ts`: add `downloadIdleTimeoutMs` to
`restoreDurableNativeHarnessBackup` and
`verifyDurableNativeHarnessBackup`. When set, each durable `getObject`
(the backup object and the provider artifacts) runs under an idle timer.
Each received chunk renews the timer. The timer is active only while a
read is in flight, so local decrypt, digest, extraction and copy are
never timed. On expiry the whole restore aborts and throws
`native_harness_storage_download_stalled`. Caller cancellation keeps its
own error.
- `verifyRecoverableNativeHarnessBackup` and the executor's
`restoreDurableHarnessForExecution` use the five-minute idle limit
(`NATIVE_HARNESS_DOWNLOAD_IDLE_TIMEOUT_MS`) instead of
`AbortSignal.timeout(300_000)`.
- The whole restore or verification keeps a 30-minute outer limit. It
fails with `native_harness_storage_restore_deadline_exceeded`, so a hung
local step stays bounded and named.
- The executor passes the startup Stop signal
(`providerPackSourceAbort`) into the restore, so Stop (also a Stop that
came before the restore began) ends it. Only a startup that already
completed does not reuse its signal. The restore checks the signal after
the local copy and before it publishes `current`.
- The wrapped storage is a `Proxy` that replaces only `getObject` and
forwards every other member to the real service.
- `doc/DEVELOPING.md`: document the idle limit and the named code.

Previous-release story (`rules/upgrade-safe-run-state.mdc`): no
persisted shape changes. Backups, artifact rows, receipts and
checkpoints saved by the previous release restore unchanged. A deploy
that lands during a restore stops the process. The new process starts
the restore again from the saved durable backup under the new limit. The
existing hash, size, encryption and atomic publication checks are
unchanged.

## Verification

Run from `server/`:

- `pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-harness-backup-download-deadline.integration.test.ts`
— 4 tests passed (embedded PostgreSQL, local-disk storage, an OpenCode
backup with provider artifacts). The tests are in a focused suite, so
the existing 990-line storage suite does not grow.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-harness-backup-storage.integration.test.ts`
— 68 existing tests passed.
- New: "keeps restoring a backup whose download outlasts the idle window
while bytes keep arriving". With the former total-deadline policy, the
same slow transfer fails with "The operation was aborted" and publishes
nothing (the staging message). With the idle limit, the restore
completes after more than twice the window, restores the session and the
OpenCode launch artifacts, and verification also completes.
- New: "names a download that stops sending bytes and publishes no
partial backup". It checks restore and verify, checks that no `current`
backup is published, and then restores the same saved backup
successfully.
- New: "stops at the outer bound during local copy and publishes
nothing".
- New: "lets Stop end a progressing download with its own reason,
including a Stop before it starts".
- RED: with the production files reverted to `origin/master`, the stall
test does not finish and times out after 10 s, because no stall is
detected. The other two tests pass on the old code, because the total
deadline was the executor's caller policy. The first test reproduces
that policy directly.
- `pnpm exec vitest run` on `native-harness-online-preservation`,
`native-harness-filesystem-independence` and
`native-controller-migration` integration suites passed.
`native-warm-checkpoint-ownership.integration.test.ts` fails locally on
master as well, because the local Rust `paperclip-runnerd` binary is not
built.
- `node scripts/typecheck-layers.mjs` passed for all layers.

Not verified: a live resumed run on staging with this build. The staging
evidence shows where the time goes (before the coordinator claim, on
resumed sessions only) but does not show which restore step was slowest.
The fix removes the total deadline for every step on that path.

## Risks

- A restore that progresses very slowly can now take longer than five
minutes. Before, it failed. The run still stops on caller cancellation.
- A local step that hangs (for example a stalled disk) is now cut off by
the 30-minute outer limit instead of 5 minutes. A stalled local writer
also pauses the read through backpressure, so it can be reported as
`native_harness_storage_download_stalled`.
- A failure before the coordinator claim still enters the existing
saved-work reconciliation path. This PR does not change that
classification. It removes the cause of these failures.

## Model Used

- Provider: Anthropic. Model: Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), with
tool use (shell, file edits, read-only browser for API inspection) in
Claude Code.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 988a4b6749 feat(recovery): ownable-kind registry and report-only ownership reconciler (#19861)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A control-plane restart leaves in-progress records owned by dead
processes, and about 31 per-subsystem proofs decide when to release them
> - The durable ownership plan (section C) asks for one registry of
ownable record kinds and one reconciler
> - Phase 1 must measure first: how many in-progress records exist, who
owns them, and which invariants they break, with no behavior change
> - This pull request registers 46 kinds from the Phase 0 inventory's
section C and adds a report-only pass to the existing native
finalization reconciler
> - The benefit is per-kind invariant-violation counts from chaos waves
and staging. That data unlocks Phase 2 (moving kinds onto one settle
path) and the removal of the company-wide admission gate

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19831 (plan, section C and Phase 1). Refs #19846 (Phase 0
inventory, section C). Stacked on #19853 (the prover) and #19851 (one
process identity).

**Problem**
No single place lists the control plane's in-progress records or checks
the plan's invariants. Each subsystem releases its own records by its
own rules, so nobody can count how many records break "owned", "settled"
or "visible next action".

**Expected behavior**
One report-only pass lists every registered kind, classifies each owner
as gone, alive or unprovable, and records each invariant violation once.
It changes no record and stays quiet when nothing is in progress.

**Impact**
Phase 2 moves kinds onto the shared settle path in the order these
counts show. Phase 3 removes the admission gate once the I3 data exists.

## What Changed

- New `server/src/services/recovery/ownership-registry.ts`: 46
`OwnableKind` entries (`id`, `obligation`, `storage`, `listInProgress`,
`settle: null`, `invariantChecks`). Each record names its owner as a
process stamp, a fence token, a run, an operator, or none. The
skill-cache lock is registered with a named coverage gap because its
lock files live in per-skill roots.
- New `server/src/services/recovery/ownership-invariant-report.ts`: one
pass classifies every owner with `proveOwnerGone` (or the owning run's
status), then runs:
  - I1 owned: an in-progress record with no owner;
- I2 settled: an owner proven gone on two consecutive passes while the
record is still in progress;
- I3 admission independence: terminal runs whose accounting outlives the
10 min closure, which hold company admission;
- I4 exactly-once intents: wake requests ended `skipped`/`failed` on a
temporary refusal (heuristic until section E);
- I7 visible next action: an agent-assigned `in_progress` issue with no
live run, no pending wake and no open recovery action for 5 min.
- I5, I6 and I8 are reported as named coverage gaps; I8 comes in the
speed-budget PR.
- Violations are written once per process to the activity log as
`recovery.invariant_violation` (`actorId: ownership-reconciler`,
`details.mode: report_only`), insert-only with no live-event or plugin
fan-out. Nothing goes to Telemetry (AGENTS.md §5.7).
- `native-finalization-reconciler.ts`:
`registerOwnershipReconciliationWork` runs the pass in the shared
delivery-work scheduler (new queue `ownership-invariant-report`). There
is no second loop.
- `index.ts` registers it after residual recovery and does not await its
first pass, so readiness is not delayed.

### Sleep-aware trigger (rules/sleep-aware-background-work.mdc)

- **Trigger:** one pass at registration (startup reconstruction from
durable truth). After that, a settled `active-execution-recovery`
signal, which run lifecycle, controller renewal and process-evidence
writes already emit. Signals are coalesced to at most one pass per 30 s.
No producer gained a write.
- **Pending predicate and next deadline:** a 30 s follow-up only while
the last pass saw a changing in-progress set, or an owner proven gone
that needs the second I2 pass.
- **Quiet:** an empty set or the same stuck set twice sets no deadline.
The test asserts `nextWakeAt() === null` after an idle pass.
- **Turn path:** the pass never runs before `turn.start`. Stamps read
only cached identity.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run src/__tests__/ownership-reconciliation-report.test.ts`
(embedded Postgres, in `server/`): 4 tests pass:
  - every kind is registered once with no settle path;
- verdicts per class: alive (this process's claim), gone (lease of a
failed run), unprovable (no owner; another PID space);
- each rule fires on its fixture, and I2 fires only on the second pass;
- every touched table is byte-identical before and after (report-only);
- activity rows are written once per violation, and none are written
with `record: false`;
- the worker is quiet when idle and schedules a follow-up only while
records change.
- `npx vitest run src/__tests__/delivery-work-coordinator.test.ts
src/services/owner-proof.test.ts
src/__tests__/server-startup-feedback-export.test.ts`: pass.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server`: no errors.

## Risks

- No record changes, so no settle risk. The risk is load: one pass runs
about 46 small indexed or `limit 201` queries, at most once per 30 s
while runs are active, and none when idle.
- I4 matches refusal text with a heuristic. It can over- or under-count
until section E gives wake requests closed terminal reasons. It is
labelled as such in the code.
- Violations dedupe per process, so a restart writes a still-open
violation again (once per boot). Chaos reports count distinct `(rule,
entityId)`.
- Previous-release story (`rules/upgrade-safe-run-state.mdc`): no
persisted run state changes. The pass reads rows of any age, and a
missing field classifies as unprovable.
- `heartbeat_runs` and `native_run_finalizations` record no host or PID
space, so foreign-boot owners there classify as unprovable
(`missing_identity`). This is the inventory's finding 2, and the report
makes it countable.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 f439150cb3 fix(recovery): limit the null-host owner fallback to single-host servers and record each use (#19883)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - #19868 and #19871 made restart recovery judge a recorded pid only in
the PID space that recorded it
> - Rows saved before those host columns existed have no recorded host.
They kept the previous local dead-pid proof, so in-flight native runs
would not be stranded at upgrade
> - On an ephemeral (multi-host) server that fallback is unsafe: the row
may have been written on another host
> - This pull request limits the fallback to single-host servers,
records every use, and gives ephemeral servers a working board action
> - The benefit is that single-host upgrades still recover on their own,
multi-host servers never accept a cross-host proof, and the next release
can remove the fallback with evidence

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Bug description**
After #19868 and #19871, a `native_run_finalizations` row with
`controller_host_hash = null`, or a run with `process_host_hash = null`,
still accepted "the pid is dead here" as proof on every server. That
includes an ephemeral server, where the row may come from another host.
Nothing recorded how often the fallback was used, so it had no safe
removal path.

**Expected behavior**
- Single-host server: the fallback applies for one release, and each use
writes a `legacy_host_unknown_dead_pid_proof` activity-log entry.
- Ephemeral server (`PAPERCLIP_EPHEMERAL_SERVER=true`): the row is
unprovable, and the board has an action to confirm the previous server
stopped.
- A mismatched host is always unprovable.

Refs #19868, #19871, #19846

## What Changed

- `native-restart-recovery.ts` `evaluateNativeControllerTakeover`:
- A coordinator row with `controllerHostHash: null` returns
`controller_host_unrecorded` when `ephemeralServerEnabled()` is true.
- Otherwise a pid proof from that row carries `legacyHostFallback:
true`.
- `operator_attested` is accepted as proof
(`operator_attested_controller_stopped`).
  - Receipt-built owners, which have no host key, are unchanged.
- New `recordLegacyHostFallbackProof` writes the activity-log entry. It
is not a run-log event: run events are progress evidence for restart
recovery's crash-loop credit, and the record must not change any
recovery decision. It is called from restart recovery, the
dead-controller result-lease release, native retirement, and remote
warm-session recovery.
- New `native-controller-host-recovery.ts`:
- `requestNativeControllerStopConfirmation` (board-owned
`native_controller_host_unverified` recovery action, idempotent, never
displaces another active action).
- `confirmNativeControllerStopped`. It verifies the exact recorded
controller and stamps `operator_attested` with compare-and-set. It then
resolves the action, wakes live-run recovery, and logs
`issue.native_controller_stop_confirmed`.
- Route `POST /issues/:id/recovery-actions/confirm-controller-stopped`.
It is board-only and requires `runtime:confirm_owner_stop`. Generic
`restored`/`false_positive` resolution of this cause is refused. A
shared `confirmNativeControllerStoppedSchema` validates the body.
- UI: `WorkspaceExportRecovery` reuses the "Confirm the previous server
stopped" control for this cause, and the generic recovery card hides it.
Adds the `issuesApi.confirmControllerStopped` client call.
- `recovery/service.ts` orphan reaper: a null `process_host_hash` is
judged only when not ephemeral. A successful use records the entry
best-effort, after the terminal write. On an ephemeral server the run is
left to its existing Stop control.
- `ephemeralServerEnabled` moves to a leaf `ephemeral-server-mode.ts`
(re-exported by `ephemeral-server-contract.ts`). Importing the contract
module from recovery code created an import cycle in the runner child
process.
- The new route is registered in OpenAPI.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: documents the host rule and the
one-release sunset.

## Verification

- `native-restart-recovery.test.ts`: null host on a single-host server
is released with the flag. Null host on an ephemeral server is
unprovable. A mismatched host is unprovable in both modes. An attested
controller is accepted. Receipt owners are unchanged.
- New `native-controller-host-recovery.test.ts` (embedded Postgres):
  - The fallback writes the activity-log entry and no run event.
  - Ephemeral mode creates exactly one board action.
  - A wrong run id is refused.
- Confirmation stamps the attestation, after which takeover is allowed.
The action resolves and the activity is logged. A second confirmation is
refused.
- `recovery-stale-issue-lock-sweep.test.ts`: on a single-host server a
null host is terminalized and records one event. On an ephemeral server
it is left alone with no event. The existing audit-failure case still
clears the lock.
- `WorkspaceExportRecovery.control.test.tsx`: the controller
confirmation posts to `confirmControllerStopped` and never to the
copyback endpoint.
- Locally: these suites plus `remote-warm-session-recovery`,
`native-controller-recovery.integration` and
`native-startup-cleanup-recovery` (136 passed), and after the CI fixes
`native-runner-restart-preparation` and `native-runner-restart-recovery`
integration, `openapi-routes` and the suites above (256 passed); the UI
recovery suites (52 passed); `node scripts/typecheck-layers.mjs` with no
errors in the touched files; `pnpm check:token-gates` clean.

## Risks

- Previous-release story: no schema change. Null-host rows saved by
earlier releases recover as before on single-host servers, now with an
event, and wait for the board on ephemeral servers. The next release
removes the fallback; the event count shows whether any rows remain.
- On an ephemeral server, a null-host orphaned run process is not reaped
automatically. The operator uses Stop. That is the intended "unprovable"
outcome.
- A board confirmation is an attestation. It applies only to the exact
recorded controller (boot id + pid) and only while the host is still
unrecorded.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 0189fedffc fix(native): bound an idle warm local runner whose controller died (#19879)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A warm runner (`lifecycleMode: warm`) keeps runnerd alive between
runs so a follow-up turn starts fast. The follow-up default flip (next
PR) makes warm the default for local Codex and OpenCode agents.
> - The controller owns a warm runner's idle window. Runnerd ignores the
idle timeout itself.
> - A graceful controller shutdown suspends idle warm sessions. A
controller that dies (SIGKILL, crash) does not. Local runners launch
with no process reconnect grace, so the idle runner kept running until
its 1-hour connection lease ran out, owned by nobody.
> - This pull request gives warm local runners the 7-minute reconnect
grace that remote runners already use.
> - The benefit: idle runners are reaped by proof within a bounded time,
never left orphaned, before warm becomes the default.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19874 (warm completion contract), #19846 (TTFT baseline), #19852.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Ownership of an idle warm local runner after its controller dies.

**Current behavior**
`runnerProcessReconnectGraceMs` is `undefined` for local targets, so
runnerd launches without `--reconnect-grace-ms`. An idle warm runner
whose controller was killed stays alive until its connection lease (one
hour) expires. The restart-chaos harness cannot show this: its K1 kills
the controller's whole process tree, runner included.

**Proposed behavior**
`localRunnerProcessReconnectGraceMs(policy)` returns the remote grace (7
minutes) for a warm policy and `undefined` for per-turn. After the
grace, runnerd records `transport_reconnect_grace_exceeded`, stops its
provider, keeps durable state and exits. The next run resumes cold.

**Reason and benefit**
The restart plan requires idle runners to be reaped by proof, never
orphaned. Seven minutes is far longer than a controller restart (13–20 s
locally) and the long-outage fault holds (3–5 minutes), so a live turn
still reattaches.

## What Changed

- `native-runner-recovery-contract.ts`:
`localRunnerProcessReconnectGraceMs`.
- `native-session-executor.ts`: the local runnerd transport passes it as
`runnerProcessReconnectGraceMs`. Remote targets keep `null`
(lease-owned).
- `runnerd-warm-idle-orphan.test.ts` (new): real runnerd and fake Codex.
An idle warm runner, after its turn completed, whose controller
detaches.
- `doc/DEVELOPING.md`: the grace and its bound.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec vitest run
src/live/runnerd-warm-idle-orphan.test.ts`: with a process grace, the
idle runner exits with `transport_reconnect_grace_exceeded` and the next
transport resumes the same provider session cold. With no grace (`null`,
today's local launch), the runner is still alive after the controller
left.
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-recovery-contract.test.ts`:
warm gets the remote grace; per-turn keeps none; the grace outlasts a
controller restart and a long outage.
- `tsc --noEmit` passes for `server` and `packages/paperclip-runner`.
- Local restart measurement with warm runners (K1/K2, codex, claude,
opencode, n = 3 each): every interrupted run recovered, with recovery
latency equal or lower than per-turn. The chaos waves with this change
are in the default-flip PR.

## Risks

- A warm local runner whose controller stays down for more than 7
minutes exits. A turn in progress then resumes through
`resume_dead_runner`, the same path as a controller crash that kills the
runner. Remote runners already behave this way.
- Previous-release story (`rules/upgrade-safe-run-state.mdc`): no
persisted state changes. A warm runner launched by the previous release
keeps the launch arguments it started with (no grace) until it exits.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 00ad9503fe feat(commentary): agents read only their own commentary unless granted commentary:view (#19842)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents can submit complaints and suggestions as commentary, and
people with commentary access read them on the Commentary page
> - When a person asks an agent in chat what agents have been
complaining about, the agent cannot read commentary and gets "Board
access required"
> - That response does not say where a person can see it, so the agent
can name the feed but cannot link it
> - Product rule: an agent cannot read other agents' commentary unless
it holds `commentary:view`, which is off by default; it may read its own
> - This pull request implements that rule and adds a remediation to the
denial naming the human page for the agent's own company
> - The benefit is a clear permission boundary and a working link for
the person instead of a dead end

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
In the `activity.agent-feedback` chat eval, the agent correctly said it
could not read agent commentary and that only the person could open it,
but it gave no link, because the denial named no page.

**Expected behavior**
An agent denied a commentary read learns which page a person with
commentary access can open.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. As an agent, call `GET /api/companies/{companyId}/agent-commentary`.
2. Before this change, the 403 body is only `{ "error": "Board access
required" }`.

## What Changed

- `server/src/routes/agent-commentary.ts`:
- An agent with the `commentary:view` grant reads all commentary its
task access allows. The grant is not among the default agent grants.
- Without the grant, an agent may read its own entries: `?agentId=<its
own id>` on the list, or its own entry by ID.
- Without the grant, listing all commentary, filtering by another agent,
or reading another agent's entry returns 403 "Board access required".
The response's `remediation` names `/<issuePrefix>/activity/commentary`
for the agent's own company.
- A request for another company still fails on company access first,
with no page path.
- Board reads are unchanged: `commentary:view` for the user, plus task
read conditions.
- `agent-commentary.integration.test.ts`: one test covers the full-list
and other-agent denials with the page path, own-list and own-entry
reads, the cross-company denial, the grant allowing a full list, and
that `commentary:view` is not a default agent grant.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run src/__tests__/agent-commentary.integration.test.ts` in
`server`: 21 tests passed.
- The new test fails against the previous route.
- Negative control: with the previous route, the new test fails.
- Related commentary tests: `agent-commentary-reader`,
`agent-commentary-helper`, `commentary-permission-migration` passed.
`agent-commentary-skills` fails the same way with and without this
change (a missing skill file in a temporary directory locally).
- The chat eval rerun with this change is recorded in #19614.

## Risks

- Agents can now read their own commentary when they ask for it
explicitly; before, every agent read was denied.
- The denial's status code and message are unchanged; a `remediation`
string is added for same-company agents.
- There is no UI yet for granting `commentary:view` to an agent.
- An agent learns the company's issue prefix, which it already sees in
task identifiers.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 738058553f fix(recovery): resume a continuation that never launched its runner in its own sandbox (#19850)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A chat follow-up on a remote native task runs as a continuation: it
starts from its predecessor's saved provider session and, for a warm
session, copies the predecessor's runner process identity onto the new
run
> - When the continuation fails before it asks for a runner of its own,
its due same-run retry sees a recorded process identity and reattaches
to "this run's" runner. That runner never existed, so reattachment
always fails with `native_remote_recovery_lease_mismatch` and the task
is blocked
> - On staging, 34 OpenCode runs on 31 tasks failed this way in one
evening. Each first attempt failed while staging its provider pack,
recorded no runner start, and kept its own sandbox lease active
> - This pull request proves that shape from durable state, retires the
inherited identity, and resumes the run the way its failed attempt ran,
in its own retained sandbox
> - The benefit is that these retries recover automatically, without a
second sandbox and without the unsaved-work hold, while every run that
may hold its own provider work keeps verified reattachment

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19839, Refs #19399, Refs #19755, Refs #19779, Refs #19827

**What happened?**
A remote OpenCode chat continuation failed during provider-pack staging.
The run had no runner start event, no process identity event, no
controller checkpoint, and no provider event of its own. Its saved
session (no active turn, no pending request) and its process identity
were inherited from the previous run. Its failure detail recorded
`providerEventsExist: false`, and its own sandbox lease stayed active.
The due same-run retry chose `reattach_remote_runner` because a process
identity was recorded. Reattachment failed with
`native_remote_recovery_lease_mismatch`, and the run ended in
`native_continuation_requires_reconciliation`.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Continue a warm remote native session so the new run inherits the
predecessor's runner process identity and saved session.
2. Fail the new run with a retryable error before it requests a runner
(for example during provider-pack staging).
3. Let the same-run retry become due. Recovery requests
`reattach_remote_runner`, and reattachment fails.

**Expected behavior**
The retry resumes the run the way its failed attempt ran, in the same
sandbox, and continues the inherited provider session. A run with any
provider work, runner start, or controller checkpoint of its own keeps
verified reattachment.

## What Changed

- New
`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-inherited-runner-retry.ts`:
- `retireInheritedRemoteRunnerIdentity` locks the issue, the
coordinator, then the run (the same order as same-run resumption). It
retires the recorded process identity only when all of these hold: the
coordinator is a result-less, unowned `exact_checkpoint_resume` retry
with `providerEventsExist: false`; the run has no runner start, process
identity, adapter invocation, tool start, runner event, controller
checkpoint, provider event or provider session of its own; the saved
session has no active turn and no pending runtime request; and a settled
predecessor of the same native session recorded the exact same process
identity (PID, group, start time).
- It records `nativeInheritedRunnerRetirement` on the run profile, with
the run's own sandbox location when that lease is still active, and an
`inherited_runner_never_launched` lifecycle event.
- `readInheritedRunnerRetainedSandbox` returns that sandbox only while
it still matches the run's saved remote location.
- `heartbeat/recovery.ts`: a due remote retry calls the retirement
first. It returns `retired`, `not_applicable` or `transient`. A retired
run (including one a concurrent sweep already retired) goes to the
ordinary same-run resume (`claimNativeSessionResumptions`), with every
existing admission gate. A lock timeout or database error is
`transient`: the sweep defers the run and checks again, and never falls
back to reattachment. Any other run keeps verified reattachment.
- `heartbeat/workspace-preparation.ts`: an ordinary same-run resume with
a retired inherited runner acquires its retained sandbox through the
existing exact-lease path (`reattachRemoteLease`), which validates and
resumes that lease and never acquires a replacement. It acquires as an
ordinary resume does only when the exact-lease failure proves the
sandbox is unusable (`stage=environment_acquire|environment_resume`,
`field=lease|lease_status|lease_expired|provider_lease_id`). Any other
failure, such as a scope mismatch on a live lease, is kept and acquires
nothing.
- New `server/src/services/retained-sandbox-absent-error.ts`: a sandbox
provider's resume reply with no provider lease and `expired: true` (the
reply Daytona and other providers send when the sandbox is gone) now
throws `RetainedSandboxAbsentError`. Every other mismatched reply keeps
the existing error. The exact-lease reattachment in
`environment-run-orchestrator.ts` maps it to
`native_remote_recovery_lease_mismatch: stage=environment_resume
field=lease_expired`, so the same-run resume above acquires as an
ordinary resume when the provider has removed the retained sandbox. A
transient resume failure is not treated as absence and never acquires
another sandbox.
- `native-restart-recovery.ts` exports the existing
`hasNativeExecutionStartEvidence` so both paths use one definition of
"execution reached a runner".
- `doc/execution-semantics.md` documents the rule.

## Previous-release state

- No schema change. The new profile field is additive.
- A run saved by an older release without `providerEventsExist`, without
a native session ID, or without a matching predecessor keeps verified
reattachment. That path is unchanged. When it loses its runner, it still
requests the user's Retry once (#19399).
- A run that an older release left with its own runner start, controller
checkpoint or provider event keeps verified reattachment, because its
outcome may be ambiguous.
- A profile without the new marker never changes acquisition.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run server/src/services/heartbeat/recovery.test.ts -t
"never launched its own runner|keeps verified reattachment"` (embedded
PostgreSQL):
- Staging shape (inherited session and process identity, no runner start
of its own, saved remote workspace, active own lease, recorded PID).
Before the fix: fails, because recovery requested reattachment. After
the fix: passes. The PID fields are cleared, the marker names the
predecessor and the retained lease, `executeRun` is called once with a
plain `nativeLeaseOwner` claim, the run still has exactly one (active)
lease, and no process is signalled.
- Negatives, passing before and after: a provider turn of its own, a
runner start of its own, a controller checkpoint of its own, no matching
predecessor, a pending runtime request in the saved session, and a
failure detail without `providerEventsExist`. Each keeps verified
reattachment and gets no marker.
- `npx vitest run
server/src/services/heartbeat/workspace-preparation.test.ts -t "retained
sandbox|retired inherited"`:
- A retired inherited runner acquires its retained sandbox with
`reattachRemoteLease`. Before: fails. After: passes.
- When the retained sandbox is gone, it acquires as an ordinary resume.
Before: fails. After: passes.
- Without the marker, acquisition is unchanged (passes before and
after).
- A `nativeWorkspaceSync` reference also resumes its retained sandbox. A
live lease's `lease_scope` failure is kept and acquires nothing.
- `recovery.test.ts` also covers a second retirement call (returns
`retired`, one event) and a held issue lock (defers; no reattachment, no
dispatch, PID kept).
- `environment-runtime.test.ts`: on exact resume, only a provider reply
with no lease and `expired: true` (with or without a workspace sentinel
mismatch) is `RetainedSandboxAbsentError`; a different lease or a reply
without `expired` keeps the existing error.
`environment-run-orchestrator.test.ts`: confirmed absence becomes
`stage=environment_resume field=lease_expired` and acquires nothing.
- Affected suites pass locally: `recovery.test.ts`,
`workspace-preparation.test.ts`,
`heartbeat-native-remote-failure-retention.test.ts`,
`workspace-recovery-retry-copyback.test.ts`,
`native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts`. `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/server typecheck` passes.

## Risks

- **No second executor.** The rule applies only when this run never
requested a runner, so no runner of this run exists. The predecessor
must be settled, and its identity is matched exactly. The resume then
takes the normal same-run claim, which holds the issue lock and
admission gates.
- **No repeated side effects.** The run has no provider event, turn or
tool start of its own. A saved session with a pending runtime request or
an active turn keeps verified reattachment. The resumed provider session
goes through the existing provider recovery, which refuses a pending
side-effecting call with a permanent, named code.
- **Bounded.** The retirement takes effect once per run, because
afterwards the run has no recorded identity. A contended retirement
waits for the next sweep. Further failures use the existing
three-attempt provider budget.
- I did not run a live Daytona sandbox, or a full preparation through a
real sandbox plugin, through this path. The orchestrator's exact-lease
checks are covered by its own unit tests. The evidence is recovery and
preparation tests on a real database with the staging run shape.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (Anthropic), model ID `claude-opus-5-5`, run in Claude
Code with tool use (shell, file editing, read-only browser access to

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 68db7ed9e3 fix(recovery): never accept a dead local pid as proof for an owner on another host (#19868)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - After a restart, recovery decides that an in-progress record's owner
is gone and takes it over
> - Two of those proofs use `kill(pid, 0)` on the local host. A pid that
is dead here says nothing about a process on another host or in another
PID namespace
> - So a controller or runtime-control owner that is still alive
elsewhere can be taken over while it still runs
> - This pull request records the owner's PID space (the existing
`controller-process-identity` host hash) and judges a pid only in that
same space
> - The benefit is that a different host is never proof. Those records
follow their existing lease or TTL instead

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Bug description**
The Phase 0 ownership inventory (finding 2) found three proofs that
accept "the pid is dead here" as proof for an owner on another host:
`evaluateNativeControllerTakeover` (`native_run_finalizations` has no
host column), the runtime-control sweep (`workspace-operations.ts`), and
the orphan reaper `terminalizeOrphanedRunningRun`. Only
`controllerProcessExited` checked the host.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run two control-plane processes on different hosts, or in different
PID namespaces, against one database.
2. Let host A own a native finalization lease or a runtime-control
operation.
3. On host B, run restart recovery. If A's pid number is not alive on B,
B takes over the live owner.

**Expected behavior**
An owner whose PID space differs from this process's, or cannot be read,
is unprovable. Its record waits for its lease, fence, or TTL.

Refs #19846

## What Changed

- Migration `0441`: add nullable
`native_run_finalizations.controller_host_hash`.
- `controller-process-identity.ts`: export `currentProcessSpaceHash()`
and `sameProcessSpace()`. An unreadable space is stored as `"unknown"`,
which never matches.
- `native-restart-recovery.ts`: `currentNativeControllerIdentity`
carries `hostHash`, which both coordinator claim writes
(`native-restart-recovery.ts`, `native-session-executor.ts`) store.
`evaluateNativeControllerTakeover` returns `controller_host_unprovable`
before any pid probe when the recorded space is not this one.
`native-dead-controller-result-lease.ts` selects the column.
- `workspace-operations.ts`: runtime-control owner stamps record
`hostHash`. `ownerProcessProvenGone` requires the same PID space (EPERM
= alive), otherwise the existing staleness TTL applies.
- Not in this PR: the orphan reaper `terminalizeOrphanedRunningRun`.
`heartbeat_runs` has no host for `process_pid`, and its writers are
spread across legacy and native paths. It follows as a separate PR with
its own column.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-restart-recovery.test.ts
src/__tests__/workspace-runtime-control-recovery.test.ts`: 55 passed.
New cases cover another host and an unreadable space (dead and recycled
pid) for takeover, plus another host, unreadable space, and legacy stamp
for the sweep. The sweep cases also confirm that the TTL still reclaims
after the heartbeat lapses.
- Red before the fix: the 5 new cases fail on the old code. Green after.
- `native-controller-recovery.integration.test.ts`,
`native-failed-run-owner-release.test.ts`,
`native-startup-cleanup-recovery.test.ts`: 71 passed.
- `pnpm db:generate` produced `0441_lucky_chameleon.sql` (one `ADD
COLUMN`) and pruned to five snapshots. `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db
check:migrations` passed. Server `tsc --noEmit` shows no errors in the
changed files.

## Risks

- Previous-release story: `native_run_finalizations` rows saved before
this column have `controller_host_hash = null`. They keep the previous
local dead-pid proof for this release. Making them unprovable would
leave every native run in flight at the upgrade in `awaiting_evidence`
with no TTL, because local takeovers have no lease fallback. Rows
written by this release onward are strict. Runtime-control stamps
without `hostHash` are strict now, because that path has a staleness
TTL.
- Owners built from other receipts (workspace finalization owner,
workspace stop proof) pass no host and keep the previous behavior. Track
2's shared `OwnerStamp` should absorb them.
- A new row on a host that really moved (redeploy onto a new machine)
waits for its lease or an operator instead of being taken over by pid.
That is the intended "different host is never proof" rule.
- No new I/O before `turn.start`. The hash is computed once at module
load.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 a9ac2e2039 feat(native): split local runner startup into stage, launch and session-load spans (#19852)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - When a person messages an agent, the agent must start its turn fast.
Time to first token (TTFT) and agent boot are first-class metrics.
> - The Phase 0 baseline (#19846) found that local runner startup costs
1.6–17 s at p50 and up to 50 s at p95. It is the largest part of TTFT.
> - The run log records that startup as one span
(`runner.session.bootstrap` or `runner.session.resume`). We cannot see
if the time goes to staging, to the `paperclip-runnerd` process launch,
or to the provider session load.
> - This pull request splits local runner startup into three sub-spans
in the run log.
> - The benefit: the follow-up work to cut follow-up-turn TTFT can
measure each step before and after.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19846 (TTFT baseline, finding 1 and gap "No sub-spans exist inside
local runner startup"). Refs #19838.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The run-log performance spans for local native runner startup.

**Current behavior**
The local path records one `runner.session.bootstrap` or
`runner.session.resume` span that covers runtime staging, the runner
process launch and the provider handshake together. The remote path
already records `runner.runtime.stage` and `runner.process.launch`; the
local path does not.

**Proposed behavior**
The local path records three sequential child spans of
`runner.session.startup`: `runner.runtime.stage`,
`runner.process.launch` and `provider.session.load`.

**Reason and benefit**
The TTFT work needs to know which step dominates before it changes the
runner lifecycle. Without these spans, a change to warm runner reuse
cannot show which cost it removes.

## What Changed

- `RunnerdCodexTransport` has a new optional `onStartupStep` callback.
`#start` and `#resume` time three milestones and call it synchronously.
A failing callback never changes startup. A nested startup (exact
adoption from `thread/start`) keeps the outer clock.
- `runner.runtime.stage`: launch preparation before the runner process
exists.
- `runner.process.launch`: spawn until runnerd accepts the run
(`run.prepare`, or the recovery attachment on resume). An adopted live
runner records no launch. This keeps the existing meaning in
`summarizeStartupReuse`: a launch span means a fresh runner.
- `provider.session.load`: `session.open` (or the recovery probe) until
the provider identity is confirmed.
- `recordNativeRunnerStartupStep` (`native-run-trace.ts`) records each
step as a `run.performance.span` row with `mode` and `target: "local"`.
It uses `trace.defer`, so the run-log write never delays `turn.start`.
- The native executor passes the callback only for a local target.
Remote launchers keep their own spans, so there are no duplicates.
- `redaction.ts`: allowlist `runner.process.launch` and
`provider.session.load` as native span names.
- `doc/run-log-events.md`: new section "Local runner startup sub-steps".

Data path (AGENTS.md §5.7): run log only, plus Observability spans when
an operator sets an OTLP endpoint. The attributes (`mode`, `target`,
`outcome`) are already in the closed span-attribute allowlist. No
Telemetry change.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec vitest run
src/live/runnerd-codex-transport-startup-steps.test.ts`: a real runnerd
and the fake Codex fixture. Bootstrap and a cold resume each report
stage, launch and session load in order, with `ok` outcomes and no
overlap. A throwing sink does not change startup.
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-run-trace.test.ts
src/__tests__/redaction.test.ts`: the rows have the correct parent,
offsets, durations and failed level. A stalled run-log sink does not
block the caller. The rows settle before
`task.provider_session.measured`. The names survive redaction.
- The existing `runnerd-codex-transport*` suites pass (412 tests). Under
host load (load average 16–27), the first full run had 7 timing failures
in suites that do not set the callback. Each failing file passed when I
ran it again alone. `runnerd-codex-transport-settlement` passed 3/3 for
the failing case alone.
- `tsc --noEmit` passes for `packages/paperclip-runner` and `server`.

## Risks

- Low risk. Without `onStartupStep`, the transport behaves as before:
the clock is not created and each milestone call is an optional-chain
no-op.
- More run-log rows: three per local runner startup.
- The step boundaries are controller-side observations.
`runner.process.launch` includes the runnerd authentication and the
`run.prepare` acknowledgement, not only the OS spawn.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 fa86162790 refactor(recovery): one process boot id and a cached controller identity (#19851)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Restart recovery decides when a record owned by a dead server
process may be released
> - One server process minted three different boot UUIDs, one per module
(`controller-process-identity.ts:13`, `native-restart-recovery.ts:284`,
`legacy-controller-lease.ts:8`)
> - The controller identity also ran `ps -o lstart` on macOS at every
native claim, preparation check and lease renewal, which is on the path
before `turn.start`
> - The durable ownership plan (Phase 1, step 1) needs one process
identity before it can add one owner stamp and one prover
> - This pull request makes the three modules stamp one boot id and
reads the process start time from the OS once
> - The benefit is one meaning of "owned by this process" across tables,
and no `ps` spawn on the turn path

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19831 (plan:
`doc/plans/2026-11-07-durable-ownership-and-reconciliation.md`, Phase
1). Refs #19846 (Phase 0 inventory, finding 1, and the TTFT baseline row
"Controller identity").

**Problem**
One process has three boot ids, so the same fact ("this record is owned
by this process") has three encodings. The uncached controller identity
spawns `ps` on macOS on every claim and renewal.

**Expected behavior**
One boot id per process. The OS start-time read runs once per process.

**Impact**
Phase 1 needs one identity to build `OwnerStamp` and `proveOwnerGone`
on. The turn path loses one subprocess spawn per claim and renewal.

## What Changed

- `controller-process-identity.ts` owns the single process boot id. It
adds `currentProcessStartedAtMs()`, which caches a successful OS
start-time read for the life of the process and retries a failed read.
It also exports `currentProcessSpaceHash()` for the coming prover.
- `native-restart-recovery.ts`: `currentNativeControllerIdentity()` and
`isCurrentNativeControllerProcess()` use the shared boot id and the
cached start time. Its own `randomUUID()` boot id is removed. The
fallback to the server-info start time is kept.
- `legacy-controller-lease.ts`: `legacyControllerBootId` is now the
shared boot id.
- Tests in `native-controller-identity.test.ts`: one boot id across
native claims, legacy leases and creation intents; one OS read across
many claims and renewals; a failed read is retried, not cached.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-controller-identity.test.ts
src/services/legacy-controller-lease.test.ts
src/__tests__/heartbeat-pending-cleanup-sweep.test.ts
src/__tests__/sandbox-creation-operations.test.ts
src/services/heartbeat/upgrade-readiness-post-result.test.ts
src/services/heartbeat/recovery.test.ts` (in `server/`): 6 files pass.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server`: no errors.
- I checked every reader of the three ids. Each one compares a stored
column only with the id of the module that writes that column
(`heartbeat_runs.controller_boot_id` with the legacy id,
`native_run_finalizations.controller_boot_id` with the native id,
metadata `bootId` with the creation id). No reader compares the ids of
two modules, so making them equal changes no decision inside one
process.

## Risks

- Low risk. No schema change and no persisted shape change.
- Previous-release story (`rules/upgrade-safe-run-state.mdc`): rows
saved by an older release carry that release's random per-module ids.
They never equal the new process's id, exactly as a row from any earlier
boot never did. They carry forward with no migration.
- The start-time cache is correct because a process's own start time
never changes. A failed read is not cached, so a transient `ps` failure
does not pin the fallback value.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 824b25654c fix(ui): keep a Retry for retained-file holds whose source cannot be verified (#19840)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - When a native run finishes but its files cannot be saved, the task
stays blocked behind a retained-file recovery hold.
> - The server records that hold as blocked and retryable, and the task
notice tells the user to "Retry to try again".
> - The task page hides its own Retry for these holds and relies on the
retained-file recovery panel instead.
> - That panel only binds the recovery record when a read-only source
inspection returns `verified`.
> - Inspection can return `blocked` for normal reasons: a sandbox that
predates ownership receipts (state saved by an older release), or a
workspace that moved on after its files were recovered.
> - Then neither surface offers an action, and "Check file recovery
status" always answers "File recovery changed. Refresh the task", also
after a reload.
> - This pull request binds the record by its own identity, uses
inspection only to gate the physical file-recovery request, and keeps
the task Retry visible whenever the panel has no control of its own.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18848 (the change that added the retained-file recovery panel and
hid the generic Retry for these holds).

**What happened?**

A blocked task with an active
`native_workspace_sync_out_retry_exhausted` hold showed "The saved files
need recovery before work can continue", "The recorded source is
unavailable or has changed", and "Saving the agent's files failed after
automatic retries. Retry to try again". It showed no Retry and no
recover button. "Check file recovery status" always answered "File
recovery changed. Refresh the task to inspect the current recovery", and
a reload did not change it. The hold was saved by an earlier release:
`systemRecovery` exhausted with `allocation_ownership_ambiguous` /
`service_required`, and `workspaceRecovery` blocked with `retryable:
true`. The source inspection endpoint returned `status: "blocked"` for
it. A second task whose files were already recovered showed the same
"need recovery" and "has changed" text, because its inspection reported
a reference mismatch after recovery.

**Expected behavior**

A retryable hold always shows a working Retry or recover control. A
notice that says "Retry" has a Retry button. Status checks never loop on
"changed, refresh". Recovered files show as recovered. When the source
cannot be verified, the page names the reason and who must inspect it.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Use an active retained-export hold whose `workspaceRecovery` is
blocked and retryable, and whose `systemRecovery` is exhausted.
2. Make the source inspection (`GET
/api/issues/:id/recovery-actions?inspectSourceRunId=…&inspectSourceActionId=…`)
return `status: "blocked"`.
3. Open the task as a board operator.
4. Before this change, the page shows no Retry and no recover button.
"Check file recovery status" reports "File recovery changed. Refresh the
task".

**Paperclip version or commit**

Observed on build `8812c19`. The regressions fail on master `0f5ce5050e`
before the production edits.

## What Changed

- `WorkspaceExportRecovery`: bind the recovery record by action, run and
schema identity, not by inspection status. Inspection status now gates
only the physical "Recover saved files" request (and the request
re-checks it before POST).
- `WorkspaceExportRecovery`: report through `onRecoveryControlChange`
whether the panel offers its own control. It reports `true` only while
the source is loading or verified and the files are not yet recovered,
or while it shows the previous-server stop confirmation.
- `IssueDetail`: hide the task Retry for retained-export holds only
while the panel reports that it owns the control. Otherwise the existing
task Retry (`POST /issues/:id/retry`) shows. The server renews a bounded
recovery generation and re-verifies the source.
- Show recovered files as recovered even when inspection no longer
matches after recovery.
- Name an unverifiable source in plain words (with the code for other
reasons). State that Paperclip does not apply files it can't verify.
- Recovery text never asks a person to inspect a sandbox or environment,
and never names an owner or administrator as the one who must act. This
covers the retained-file panel, the run source inspector, the copyback
wait, and the native cleanup quarantine message. The execution blocker
and the recovery action read model describe a spent recovery budget from
its current state, so text saved by older releases ("If Retry keeps
failing, inspect the run and its environment") is not shown.
- Task Retry uses the existing `createUuid()` helper, so it works on
plain-HTTP previews without `crypto.randomUUID`. An accepted Retry also
refreshes the inspected file-recovery state. After a failed accepted
request, the unverified-source reason stays visible; it hides only while
recovery runs.
- When the recovery record was replaced, "Check file recovery status"
reloads the task detail instead of telling the user to refresh.
- Tests: component regressions for an old-release hold, a recovered hold
with a mismatched source, verified ownership, and a replaced record. A
page regression proves Retry is shown and calls `retryTask` for
unverified and stale sources. A server safety test proves that Retry for
the old-release hold shape is accepted, opens one new bounded
generation, queues file recovery again, keeps the hold active, and is
idempotent.

## Verification

- RED (master `0f5ce5050e` production files, new tests): 5 component
tests fail. The failure output shows the exact staging text: "Check file
recovery status", "File recovery changed. Refresh the task to inspect
the current recovery.", "The recorded source is unavailable or has
changed." 2 page tests (unverified and stale) fail with `expected [
'Check file recovery status', … ] to include 'Retry'`.
- GREEN: `cd ui && npx vitest run
src/components/WorkspaceExportRecovery.control.test.tsx
src/components/WorkspaceExportRecovery.test.tsx
src/components/RunWorkspaceRecoverySurface.test.tsx
src/components/ExecutionBlockerNotice.test.tsx
src/pages/IssueDetail.test.tsx` passes 320 tests.
- Server: `cd server && npx vitest run src/services/task-retry.test.ts`
passes 81 tests, including the new old-release safety case. This is
safety evidence, not a red: the server path was already correct, and the
defect was in the UI.
- Full UI suite: 11564 pass. 4 tests in `IssuesList.test.tsx` and
`CompanyEnvironments.test.tsx` failed under full-suite load and pass in
isolation (106/106). They are unrelated to this change.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` is clean. `node scripts/run-tsc.mjs -p
ui/tsconfig.json --noEmit` reports no errors in the touched files. The
remaining errors are local artifacts that were not built (plugin SDK UI
entry, generated Storybook catalog).
- Staging was read only (GET requests). The inspect request did not loop
in a fresh tab: two calls in 30 seconds. Most of the tab's request
volume is periodic company issue-list refetches, which this change does
not touch.

## Risks

- Low risk. This is a UI-only behavior change. Server authorization,
source verification, stop receipts, and the bounded recovery policy are
unchanged and remain authoritative.
- The task Retry is now visible for retained-export holds whose source
does not verify. Retry renews one recovery generation. The worker
re-runs the same source-identity checks, so Retry cannot bypass an
ownership refusal. If the refusal is permanent (for example an ambiguous
sandbox allocation), the hold returns to exhausted and the page names
the reason. An automatic fallback for such sources is follow-up work.
- Wording: a parametrized UI test renders every recovery state and
asserts that no administrator, owner, or "inspect the environment" copy
appears. A server test proves that a stored old-release message is
replaced by state-derived text. Both failed before the change.
- Previous-release story: the old-release hold shape (board-owned,
`systemRecovery` revision 5 exhausted with `service_required`,
`workspaceRecovery` blocked and retryable) is covered by component,
page, and server tests. No persisted state shape changes.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 630411af53 fix(recovery): require a 1 s start-time gap and treat EPERM as alive in owner proofs (#19848)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - After a restart, recovery code decides whether the process that owns
an in-progress run is gone
> - Two proofs compare process start times to the millisecond, but `ps
-o lstart` on macOS and BSD reports whole seconds
> - So a live owner can look like a reused PID, and recovery can release
it while it still runs
> - Signal-0 handling also disagrees: one check treats EPERM as dead,
while all others treat it as alive
> - This pull request puts one start-time rule and one EPERM rule in
`controller-process-identity.ts` and uses them at every site the Phase 0
ownership inventory named
> - The benefit is that no proof releases a live owner because of clock
precision or a permission error

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Bug description**
The Phase 0 ownership inventory (finding 1) found inconsistent "owner
gone" proofs. `native-failed-run-owner-release.ts`
(`recordedProcessMayBeLive`, `runProcessMayBeLive`) and
`native-session-executor.ts` (`verifiedRecoveryProcessIsAlive`) treat
any start-time difference of 1 ms or more as a reused PID.
`native-restart-recovery.ts` and `controllerProcessExited` require a gap
of at least 1 s. `local-service-supervisor.ts` (`isPidAlive`,
`isProcessGroupAlive`) treats EPERM as dead.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. On macOS, record a live process start time with millisecond
precision.
2. Run the abandoned-owner release pass, or the recovered-runner
liveness check, against that live PID.
3. The pass releases the owner, or the check reports the runner as gone.

**Expected behavior**
A sub-second start-time gap is ambiguous and keeps the owner. EPERM
means the process exists.

Refs #19846

## What Changed

- `controller-process-identity.ts`: export `processExists` (EPERM =
alive) and `processStartsDefinitelyDiffer` (gap >= 1 s; a missing time
proves nothing). `controllerProcessExited` uses the new helper.
- `native-failed-run-owner-release.ts`: the controller and run-process
checks use the shared helpers instead of exact millisecond equality.
- `native-session-executor.ts`: `verifiedRecoveryProcessIsAlive` accepts
a start time within 1 s as the same runner. Its signal path uses the
same check.
- `native-restart-recovery.ts`: `definitivelyDifferentProcessStart`
delegates to the shared helper. No behavior change.
- `local-service-supervisor.ts`: `isPidAlive` and `isProcessGroupAlive`
treat EPERM as alive.

## Verification

- New `controller-process-identity.test.ts`: the 1 s boundary, EPERM and
ESRCH for every signal-0 check, and a live spawned runner whose recorded
start is 500 ms off.
- `native-failed-run-owner-release.test.ts`: two new cases (controller
and run process) with a live child and a recorded start 500 ms off. The
owner stays `observed`.
- Red before the fix: with the old call sites, all 4 new cases fail
(`releaseAbandonedNativeOwners` returns 1 and releases the live owner;
EPERM returns false; the live runner reads as gone). Green after the
fix.
- `npx vitest run src/services/controller-process-identity.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-failed-run-owner-release.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-restart-recovery.test.ts
src/__tests__/local-service-supervisor.test.ts`: 59 passed.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change only makes proofs stricter: a sub-second gap or
EPERM now keeps an owner that the old code released. Such a row waits
for the existing lease, TTL, or real process exit.
- A recycled PID whose new process started within 1 s of the recorded
one now stays held until it exits. That is the same rule the takeover
path already used.
- Previous-release story: no persisted shape changes. Rows saved by the
previous release are evaluated with the stricter rule.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, used with tool use and
code execution in Claude Code.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 e2d490c61b feat(observability): anchor native time to first token at the accepted wake (#19838)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - When someone messages an agent, the reply must start fast. The
durable ownership plan (#19831) makes time to first token (TTFT) a hard
invariant.
> - Phase 0 of that plan records a TTFT baseline per adapter and
environment, measured from the moment the message or wake is accepted.
> - Today `task.time_to_first_token` starts at the wake comment, the
answered question, or the run row's creation. A wake request that was
accepted earlier (deferred, coalesced or retried) is not part of the
measurement, and the span does not say which start it used.
> - This pull request moves the start back to the earliest accepted
input and names it on the span.
> - The benefit is that the baseline and later budgets measure what the
user waits for, with no new work before `turn.start`.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19831

**What is the problem?**
`task.time_to_first_token` does not include the time between an accepted
wake request and the creation of its run row. It also does not record
which input it started from.

**What is the expected outcome?**
The span starts at the earliest accepted input and carries an `anchor`
attribute: `comment`, `question_response`, `wake_request` or
`run_created`.

**Why does it matter?**
Phase 0 of the durable ownership plan sets TTFT budgets from this
baseline. A start that skips queue time hides the latency that deferred
wakes add.

## What Changed

- `resolveNativeTimeToFirstTokenStart` (pure) in `native-run-trace.ts`
picks the start and the anchor. `anchor` joins the closed span-attribute
allowlist.
- `readNativeRunWakeRequestedAtMs` reads
`agent_wakeup_requests.requested_at` for the run. It never throws.
- `native-session-executor.ts` calls it only after the first deliverable
text, so it adds no wait before `turn.start`. The span now ends at the
text commit time, not after the trace write.
- Updated `doc/run-log-events.md` and `doc/observability.md`.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-run-trace.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-run-wake-anchor.test.ts` (26 pass).
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts -t first`
(41 pass). The existing TTFT test now asserts the anchor for each
ingress.

## Risks

- Low risk. This changes only the run-log and OTLP span. It is not
Telemetry (AGENTS.md §5.7), and it does not change runtime behavior.
- One indexed primary-key read per native dispatch, after the first
text. A read failure drops the anchor and keeps the old start.
- TTFT values can grow for deferred wakes. That is the intended
correction. `startOffsetMs` can be negative when the wake request comes
before the trace start.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 84908d176b fix(recovery): name the failed check in native_remote_recovery_lease_mismatch (#19839)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Remote native runs execute in a sandbox, and recovery can reattach a
run to its original sandbox runner
> - Reattachment checks the saved lease, workspace, and runner identity
in five places. Each failed check throws the same bare
`native_remote_recovery_lease_mismatch`
> - On staging, 34 OpenCode runs on 31 tasks failed with this bare error
in one evening. The run records could not show which check failed, so
the cause could not be confirmed from the run alone
> - This pull request makes every producer name the failed step and
field with closed values
> - The benefit is that an operator and the next investigation can see
which reattachment check failed, without new logging or identifiers in
the error

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19399, Refs #19733, Refs #19755, Refs #19779

**What happened?**
Remote same-run retries failed with
`native_remote_recovery_lease_mismatch` and the task was blocked for
reconciliation. The error is thrown by environment acquire, environment
resume, workspace preparation, workspace sync, and remote runner
verification. All of them used the same bare string. The run's `error`
field and its run events did not show which check failed.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start reattachment for a remote native run whose saved lease,
workspace reference, or runner identity no longer matches.
2. Read the run's `error`.
3. It shows only `native_remote_recovery_lease_mismatch`.

**Expected behavior**
The error names the step and the field that differed, with no
identifiers, and existing consumers of the code keep working.

## What Changed

- New
`server/src/services/native-runtime/remote-recovery-lease-mismatch.ts`:
the code constant, a closed `stage` and `field` vocabulary, and
`remoteRecoveryLeaseMismatch(stage, field)`. It builds
`native_remote_recovery_lease_mismatch: stage=<stage> field=<field>`.
- `environment-run-orchestrator.ts` (stages `environment_acquire` and
`environment_resume`), `heartbeat/workspace-preparation.ts`
(`workspace_preparation`), `native-workspace-sync.ts`
(`workspace_sync`), and `verifyRemoteRunnerReattachment` in
`native-session-executor.ts` (`runner_verification`) now throw the
detailed form. Each check keeps the same condition and order. Only the
message changes.
- `restart-interrupted-turn.ts` uses the shared constant. It already
matches the code exactly or as the `code: ` prefix, so automatic
continuation after a reattachment loss is unchanged. No other consumer
matches the code.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md` documents the detail format.

## Previous-release state

This change adds no persisted state and changes no saved identity. Runs
that a previous release failed keep the bare
`native_remote_recovery_lease_mismatch` in `error`. Runs failed by this
release store the detailed form. The only consumer (`isReattachmentLoss`
in `restart-interrupted-turn.ts`) accepts both forms, and
`workspace-recovery-retry-copyback.test.ts` covers both.

## Verification

- Exact-detail assertions in the producer tests:
- `server/src/__tests__/environment-run-orchestrator.test.ts`: every
scope, status, expiry, provider, lease-ID, cwd, plugin-task, and resume
case asserts its stage and field. Against the previous producer, 21 of
these cases fail (the message was the bare code). With this change, all
57 tests pass.
- `native-session-executor.test.ts`: a replaced sandbox reports
`runner_verification`/`provider_lease_id`. A missing durable runner
identity reports `identity_run_id` before any sandbox read.
- `native-workspace-sync.test.ts`,
`heartbeat/workspace-preparation.test.ts`,
`native-controller-recovery.integration.test.ts` assert their exact
detail.
- End to end on embedded PostgreSQL:
`heartbeat-native-remote-failure-retention.test.ts` records
`native_remote_recovery_lease_mismatch: stage=environment_resume
field=lease` on the run when the provider no longer resumes the lease,
and it still requests the user's Retry once.
`workspace-recovery-retry-copyback.test.ts` adds a detailed-form row
that still continues once.
- The affected server test files pass locally. `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/server typecheck` passes.

## Risks

- Low risk. Only the error text changes. Conditions, ordering, and
fail-closed behavior are unchanged.
- Logs and run errors show a longer message. The detail has closed
values only, so it adds no identifiers or secrets.
- A first version of this PR also changed remote retry selection. Review
showed that a plain resume in a new sandbox hits the remote workspace's
unsaved-work hold, and that a `destroy` disposition does not prove the
old sandbox is gone. That change is removed. It needs a separate design.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (Anthropic), model ID `claude-opus-5-5`, run in Claude
Code with tool use (shell, file editing, read-only browser access to
staging).

Dotta 86bc3db693 feat(runner): search and load unassigned company skills (#19676)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native agents use tools to read reusable company skills.
> - The existing native skill tools read only skills assigned to the
agent.
> - An agent can stop when a task needs another skill that is already in
the company library.
> - This pull request adds tools to search and read accessible company
skills on demand.
> - Agents can use the saved instructions without a persistent
assignment change.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Problem or motivation**

An agent cannot use an unassigned company skill through the standard
native skill tools. A generic API workaround needs extra discovery and
can return the full library.

**Proposed solution**

Add `search_skills` and `load_skill` to the native tool catalog. Search
returns small pages of stored metadata. Load returns text from a saved
version and lists its files. Both tools use the current run identity and
existing company and project access checks.

**Alternatives considered**

Assign each skill before a read, or use generic API discovery. Both add
work to a read that the company already permits.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends the existing skills discovery path. It does not add a
store, permission model or installation flow. Related: #15409 adds an
assigned-skill loader to a different adapter.

## What Changed

- Add bounded company skill search. Search does not synchronize sources
or fetch repositories.
- Add versioned text reads for SKILL.md and supporting files. Page text
and file lists. Reject unsafe paths and binary files.
- Recheck access after storage reads. Keep the existing closed Muse,
skill-test and completion-review tool scopes.
- Add integration tests with isolated PostgreSQL and real local package
storage. Update the native tool count assertion and skill documentation.
- Limit text files to 16 MiB before body reads. Accept saved file paths
up to 4,096 characters plus the repository prefix. Return the response
digest only on the first page.
- Add optional byte limits to the package readers. Select only the
requested legacy file in PostgreSQL. Cast the size comparison to
`bigint` so existing callers can omit the limit.
- Cache decoded text and its digest for one run. Limit the cache to 64
MiB and 64 files. Check access on each page and clear the cache when the
run closes.
- Read repository source files and wrapper inputs through verified warm
reads or isolated recovery. These reads do not hold the company startup
lock.

## Verification

- Local verification tested tree
`7ba5828387ca0a9c2ee99655818a28de1235a854`, published as commit
`c9d04cba601541cca506f5b72aa6f7272a25379f`. The published tree matches
that tested checkout. Current head
`33fa3d3d4c7988288685ce7c6499d064e0cb9079` (tree
`8daaa2f3264d1cd65a9b6d85dbb9d3729ac4a29d`) removes six comment lines
from three source files; its executable code is unchanged from the
locally tested revision.
- Four native skill and authority Vitest suites: 72 passed and 7
existing sandbox checks skipped. All 20 skill-library integration tests
passed.
- Skill-library and package-store suites: 65 passed. This includes the
45 package-store cases and the same 20 integration cases. Ran with umask
`022` for executable-file tests.
- Server source and test typecheck layers passed in low-memory mode. The
affected source cycle also passed a final separate check.
- `git diff --check` and `node scripts/check-module-boundaries.mjs`
passed.
- Red/green evidence: the new default inline-read case reproduced
PostgreSQL error `22003`. Two max-size paging cases reproduced extra
body reads. Warm and cold repository reads timed out while another
connection held the company startup lock. All five cases pass after the
fixes.
- Both 16 MiB paging cases check that the second page performs no
additional body read. They also check that source-access revocation
blocks a cached page. Warm and cold lock cases load both the generated
wrapper and a supporting file while the startup lock remains held.
- The first cold-read test attempt had an incorrect helper import.
Corrected the test import, reproduced the lock timeout, then verified
the fix.
- [CI on the previous
revision](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42319652795)
passed typecheck, build and policy. Serialized shard 2 failed in the
unchanged test `schedules bounded retries for failed accepted
interaction continuation wakes`. The same case passed locally: 1 passed;
416 cases were excluded by the filter. The cause of the earlier CI
failure remains unknown. [CI for
c9d04cba](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42323260426)
passed: 52 successful jobs and one skipped selector, including
typecheck, build, all serialized server shards, native server tests,
Runner/Rust, and e2e. This establishes a later pass; the earlier
heartbeat failure's cause remains unknown. [CI for current head
33fa3d3d](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42325148224)
passed: all 52 applicable workflow jobs succeeded, with one skipped
selector. The head has 58 successful check runs and three skipped
checks; Snyk also passed.
- Earlier failures remain recorded. Preflight cannot build Rust because
Cargo is absent. The first catalog assertion expected 51 tools instead
of 53. Test startup needed the plugin SDK build. An earlier typecheck
hit the 8 GiB memory limit; low-memory checks passed. The previous
package test failed under umask `077`; it passed under `022`, and this
run's complete package suite passes with `022`.
- Greptile reviewed current head `33fa3d3d` at 2026-11-07 01:40 UTC: 5/5
with no outstanding findings. The three older Ponytail threads are
resolved after checking the size/cache, long-path, and bigint fixes and
regression tests. Ponytail's supplemental refreshed assessment stopped
before completing and posted no new findings. Its earlier findings are
fixed and all seven review threads are resolved. The completed Greptile
assessment covers current head.
- No hosted deployment or live provider run was performed.

## Risks

- Package reads can recover stored packages through the existing storage
layer. Search reads only stored database metadata.
- Load is a read. It does not install files into the provider workspace
or change runtime bundles. It does not grant tool access or authorize
actions in the skill text.
- Callers must retain the returned version ID for later pages. A missing
version returns an error.
- Files above 16 MiB return a size-limit error. The run cache retains at
most 64 MiB of decoded text and 64 entries. A cache miss or eviction
requires a full verified file read. Each page still checks current
access. The SHA-256 response field is null after the first text or
file-list page.
- No database migration or UI change is required.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip b8e02fc2b4 fix(native): preserve bounded larger web inventories (#19832)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and preserves their work across server
changes.
> - Native harness preservation stores retained web-server files in
authenticated archives.
> - A retained skill can contain hundreds of valid local files.
> - The WEB evidence owner rejected any directory or inventory above 128
entries.
> - This blocked preservation of two 462-file skills even though their
payload fit the existing byte limits.
> - This pull request shares finite inventory bounds between capture and
archive validation.
> - It preserves every file and keeps the execution, identity, writer,
and publication guards.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #19814

**What happened?**

WEB evidence preservation rejected a retained source with 927 local
skill files. The source had settled execution ownership. The files fit
the existing payload limits. The directory enumeration failed before
archive publication because its entry limit was 128.

**Expected behavior**

Preserve a valid finite inventory within explicit file, payload, path,
and metadata limits. Keep remote recovery obligations unchanged.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Retain two 462-file skills and one three-file skill under a settled
native source.
2. Request canonical WEB evidence preservation.
3. The old owner rejects directory enumeration. The added integration
test reproduces this refusal with real files and PostgreSQL.

## What Changed

- Share the WEB limit through the existing controller archive owner:
10,000 total entries, 4 MiB of manifest metadata, and 4,096 bytes per
path.
- Apply the limits to filesystem capture, published binding validation,
and archive descriptor validation.
- Keep the existing 16 MiB per-file and 64 MiB payload bounds. Keep
authority history at 128 entries and 32 epochs.
- Add real archive and cold-restore coverage for 927 files, legacy
manifest compatibility, and bound refusals. Document the limits.

## Verification

- Genuine baseline RED: the new 927-file integration case reaches the
original `captureWebEvidence.directoryNames` limit and fails before
publication.
- The initial setup attempt failed before test collection because the
generated plugin SDK was absent. The required SDK build fixed setup; it
was not counted as a regression result.
- The first affected three-suite run passed 93 cases. The large
roundtrip exceeded the generic 15-second case deadline. That failure is
retained. The isolated large case passed with a 60-second case limit,
but full CI later exceeded that limit while the other 4,577 tests in its
shard passed. Both timeout failures are retained. The final fixture
keeps all 927 files and 18.5 MB, uses bounded 16-way independent
comparisons, and has a 120-second whole-case limit. The canonical
preservation signal remains 60 seconds. No production deadline or
assertion changed.
- The 927-file case then passed: encrypted archive, authenticated cold
restore, all bytes/hashes/modes, unchanged remote leases, and
database-only validation with source volume absent and storage reads
forbidden.
- The final metadata repair adds a genuine RED case: an entry list below
4 MiB previously emitted a larger complete manifest without rejection.
The owner now checks the complete serialized manifest. All ten focused
cases passed after that repair. The final bounded-I/O fixture passed the
same ten cases in 37.26 seconds, including the full 927-file roundtrip.
All 93 other affected cases passed in the preceding three-suite run.
Fresh required CI supplies broad final-head coverage.
- Server TypeScript, module boundaries, and whitespace checks pass.

Run the focused PostgreSQL checks from `server/` with the repository
wrapper:

```sh
node ../cli/node_modules/tsx/dist/cli.mjs ../packages/db/src/test-postgres-command.ts -- node ../node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run src/services/native-runtime/native-harness-filesystem-independence.integration.test.ts --testNamePattern 'preserves all 927|existing 128-entry WEB|WEB manifest beyond|oversized WEB filesystem' --hookTimeout 90000 --maxWorkers 1 --fsModuleCache
```

## Risks

The owner can hold more entries in memory. The fixed 64 MiB payload, 4
MiB metadata, path, and entry bounds constrain that cost. The archive
format and old receipt bytes do not change. Older builds still have the
128-entry limit and cannot qualify a larger new receipt. This change
does not settle remote recovery, grant execution authority, alter
finalizer locks, or change publication CAS rules. No hosted preservation
or deployment was performed for this PR.

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol`, with code execution and repository tools. The
context window size is not exposed.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 a94881d1a7 fix(heartbeat): save a comment refused by a temporary hold and route post-quarantine input to its own gate (#19829)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A user's follow-up comment or Retry must be delivered once,
eventually, even when a temporary company admission hold (accounting
still settling) is active
> - #19741 kept claimed runs queued through such a hold and woke held
work when it cleared
> - A restart-chaos wave still lost a comment, because its wake was
refused before admission and written as a terminal skip
> - The same wave left a Retry waiting forever for a stop record of a
process that never existed
> - This pull request saves the refused comment as a deferred receipt,
and routes input after a pre-launch quarantine failure to the
quarantine's own gate
> - The benefit is that the comment is delivered after the hold, and the
task asks for the action that actually unblocks it instead of offering a
Retry that can never start

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19741 and #19702.

**What happened?**
In a restart-chaos wave, a failed run's accounting held the company for
600 s.
1. A user commented while the task's run was live. The enqueue budget
gate refused the comment's wake before it reached the deferral behind
the live run. Because it was a user request with no saved receipt, it
was written as `skipped` (`budget.blocked`). The live run finished
without it and the task ended `done`, so the comment was lost.
2. A Retry created a run that the native cleanup-quarantine fence
refused before it requested any runner launch
(`native_session_cleanup_quarantined`, no process events). A second
Retry then waited with `process_identity_missing` ("The previous run has
no verified stop record") for a process that never existed. The task
kept offering Retry, and that Retry could never start.

**Expected behavior**
A comment refused by a temporary hold stays saved and is delivered once
later. Input after a run that was refused before launch is handled by
the quarantine gate: Retry is not offered (send a new message), and a
new message gets the verified-stop check of the previous provider
session.

## What Changed

- `heartbeat/queue.ts`: when the enqueue budget gate refuses a user's
comment wake and the block is temporary (not a reached hard stop, per
`isBoardOwnedBudgetBlock`), the wake is saved as a
`deferred_issue_execution` receipt. The receipt carries the comment ids
and an `executionWait` of `budget.blocked`, and the gate notifies the
deferred-receipt worker and throws `PersistedExecutionWaitRefusal`. It
is not written as `skipped`. Normal promotion (when the live run ends)
and #19741's hold-release wakeups deliver it.
- `native-local-process-stop.ts`: new `nativeRunRefusedBeforeLaunch`. It
returns true for a failed native run with
`native_session_cleanup_quarantined`, no recorded process, and no
launch-request or identity event.
- `explicit-native-continuation.ts`: such a run passes the
process-identity check, so the existing quarantine branch decides. A
Retry gets `cleanup_quarantined` (shown with `canRetry: false` and "send
a new message"). A new message gets
`verifyStoppedNativeSessionForContinuation`. Any launch request or
identity record keeps the original stop proofs.

- `native-session-executor.ts`
(`verifyStoppedNativeSessionForContinuation`): when the source has no
process record and no launch event, the verifier relies on the previous
owner's stop evidence. Before this change it required the source to
share the owner's process identity, so a new message stayed held even
after the owner stopped. A source that carries a process identity must
still match the owner exactly.

## Verification

Each new test fails on `master` and passes with this change, on embedded
Postgres:
- `server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-held-comment-wake.test.ts`: a comment
whose wake the hold refuses at enqueue is saved with a `budget.blocked`
wait and is not skipped. It is delivered exactly once after accounting
settles.
- `server/src/services/explicit-native-continuation.test.ts`:
- A run refused by the quarantine before launch routes a new message to
the quarantine's stop verification and a Retry to `cleanup_quarantined`.
These failed on `master` with `process_identity_missing`.
- Guards (green on both): a quarantined run that requested a launch, and
another failure without a process record, still require
`process_identity_missing`.
- `server/src/services/quarantined-task-retry.test.ts`: a never-launched
quarantined source is certified once the previous owner has stopped (red
on `master`). It stays held if the source requested a launch or the
owner is still running. All 31 tests pass, and the `stopped native
conversation physical cleanup` suite passes (46).
- Related suites pass locally (6 files, 620 tests): explicit native
continuation, held comment wake, queued comments routes, comment wake
batching, refused assignment wake, deferred receipt work. Two
`deferred-execution-receipt-work` tests failed once under parallel load
and passed when run alone.

## Risks

- The saved-comment path applies only to user comment wakes refused by a
temporary budget hold. Hard stops, system wakes, case handoffs, durable
chat requests, and existing saved receipts are unchanged.
- The pre-launch rule is limited to the quarantine failure code with no
launch evidence. Every other missing process identity still requires the
existing stop proof.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, run as an agent in
Claude Code with tool use (shell, file editing, local test execution,
kept restart-chaos instance inspection).

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 b2af45f0f1 fix(runner): let OpenAI API-key Codex agents generate images with their existing key (#19654)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - New users often connect a Codex agent with an OpenAI API key during
onboarding.
> - A user asked such an agent for a logo. The agent said that the
built-in image generator was not available and that its fallback needed
a separate API key. It then drew an SVG by hand.
> - #19516 removed `--disable image_generation`. That change is correct,
but it does not reach this path. The pinned Codex 0.160.0 shows its
`image_gen` tool only when Codex signs in with ChatGPT. The check is
`image_generation_available` in `codex-rs/core/src/tools/spec_plan.rs`.
An API key never gets the tool.
> - The runner keeps the provider key out of the agent's shell on
purpose, so the skill's `scripts/image_gen.py` fallback cannot run.
> - This pull request adds a Paperclip `generate_image` tool. The server
makes the image with the agent's existing OpenAI key. The key never goes
to the agent process or the shell.
> - The benefit is that API-key Codex agents can make images with no
second key. The spend goes to the agent's budget and the budget can stop
it.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19516

**What happened?**
An agent connected through onboarding with an OpenAI API key (Codex
harness, `gpt-5.6-sol`) could not generate images. The agent said: "The
image skill's built-in generator isn't available in this run, and its
fallback would require a separate API key." It then drew an SVG instead.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create a company with a Codex agent that uses an OpenAI API key.
2. Ask the agent for a raster image, for example a logo PNG.
3. The agent reports that image generation is not available. It does not
make the image.

**Expected behavior**
The agent makes the image with the OpenAI key that already powers it.

**Root cause**
The agent ran on the native runner's Codex app-server path, with
`auth.json = {"OPENAI_API_KEY": ...}`. Codex 0.160.0 removes
`image_gen.imagegen` from the model's tools unless
`current_auth_uses_codex_backend()` is true. That function is true only
for a ChatGPT sign-in.

I proved this with the real pinned binary. I gave it the runner's
isolated launch arguments and the API-key auth file, and pointed it at a
local Responses endpoint. The first model request offers only `exec`,
`wait`, `request_user_input` and the collaboration tools. #19516's test
checked only `codex features list`, so it could not see this gate.

## What Changed

- **New `server/src/services/native-runtime/generate-image-tool.ts`:**
  - The tool schema and definition.
- `imageGenerationBindingForRun`. It applies only to native Codex runs
on a direct OpenAI `api_key` connection with no router selection.
- The OpenAI Images API call (`gpt-image-2`, `b64_json`, PNG check, 180
s timeout). The reply is read as a stream with a byte cap before it is
parsed. A decoded image larger than 20 MiB is refused.
- A reviewed rate card for `gpt-image-2`: text input $5, image input $8
and image output $30 per 1M tokens, from
developers.openai.com/api/docs/pricing, retrieved 2026-11-06.
  - A create-only, symlink-confined local write.
- **`paperclip-runner-tool-authority.ts`:**
  - Adds the `imageGeneration` binding.
- Advertises the tool only for standard mode with a workspace. A remote
target must also have an installer. Dot, Muse, Grok and native review do
not get the tool.
- Adds the `#generateImage` handler. Before any spend, it checks again:
the run and task, budget authority, `issue:mutate`, case handoff, and
the connection.
- Stores a claim-before-spend per-call receipt in
`resultJson.imageToolReceipts`. A retry or recovery replays the receipt
and does not pay again.
- Saves a `charged` receipt (usage, price, request ID and charge time)
as soon as OpenAI returns. A failed save, failed accounting write or
crash can then still settle the spend. A retry or recovery records the
cost once and never buys again.
- Records one `cost_events` row through `createCostEventInTransaction`.
The row is `metered_api` with `costStatus: "estimated"`, and the budget
is evaluated. The row is recorded even if saving fails.
- Checks the task's project budget, as well as the company and agent
budgets, before spending.
- Writes content-free `runner.image_generate` activity entries: started,
completed, failed and unconfirmed.
- **`ai-connections.ts`:** adds `selectImageGeneration`. It checks again
that the connection is an active, healthy OpenAI `api_key` connection
with no custom routing. It also checks the responsible user's
membership, the grant audience and the agent or company installation.
These are the same rules that runtime selection uses.
- **`native-session-executor.ts`:** gets the binding from the run's
admitted `contextSnapshot.aiConnection`. The value comes only from the
server, never from tool input.
- **`native-session-resume.ts`:** the native tool contract changes from
`v18` to `v19` and now lists `generate_image`. A persisted provider
thread cannot add tools when it resumes, so older threads must rotate.
- **`doc/runner-api-tools.md`:** a new section about image generation
for OpenAI API-key Codex agents.
- **#19516: kept, not reverted.** Its changes have no effect on the
API-key path. They are still correct for Codex agents that sign in with
ChatGPT, because `image_gen` works there and saves to
`CODEX_HOME/generated_images`. Those agents need the read grant that
#19516 added. On the API-key path, the new tool replaces the built-in
tool. The tool's description tells the agent to use it instead of
`image_gen` or `scripts/image_gen.py`.

## Verification

**Red on `master` (e482f0f632).** Behavioural red with the first version
of the new test:

```
 FAIL  src/services/native-runtime/generate-image-tool.test.ts > generate_image for OpenAI API-key Codex agents (N-12) > lets an API-key Codex agent make an image with its existing OpenAI key, saved in its workspace and billed
AssertionError: expected [ 'connections_search', …(51) ] to include 'generate_image'
 ❯ src/services/native-runtime/generate-image-tool.test.ts:78:60
      Tests  1 failed | 3 passed (4)
```

The final test file on master's source also fails. The reason is that
the module does not exist: `Cannot find module
'./generate-image-tool.js'`.

**Real pinned Codex binary.** The new test is
`packages/paperclip-runner/src/drivers/codex/codex-api-key-image-tools.test.ts`.
It uses the runner's isolated launch, the API-key `auth.json` and a
local Responses endpoint. It shows that the model gets no `image_gen`,
`imagegen` or `image_generation` tool, and that a server-advertised
`generate_image` tool does reach the model:

```
 Test Files  1 passed (1)
      Tests  1 passed (1)
```

**Green after the fix:**
`server/src/services/native-runtime/generate-image-tool.test.ts` uses
embedded PostgreSQL and a stubbed OpenAI fetch.

```
 Test Files  1 passed (1)
      Tests  11 passed (11)
```

The 11 tests cover these behaviours:

- **Main path.** The tool is advertised. The request goes to
`api.openai.com/v1/images/generations` with the existing key. The PNG is
written to the workspace. The key does not appear in the result or in
activity. One `cost_events` row is written: 50 text tokens and 1000
output tokens, which is $0.03025, estimated, from the rate card. A retry
and `recover()` replay the receipt with no second fetch and no second
cost row.
- **No binding:** the tool is not offered and `execute` refuses.
- **Budget hard-stop.** The stop pauses the agent, so the call is
refused before any fetch and no file is written.
- **Bad grant:** the call is refused before any fetch.
- **Project budget stop.** The task's project is paused by its budget,
so the call is refused before any fetch.
- **Charge settlement.** A crash left a `charged` receipt. The retry and
`recover()` record the cost once, report the image path and do not buy
another image.
- **Oversized reply.** The read stops before the body is parsed.
- **Save failure.** The spend is still recorded. A same-call retry does
not pay again and reports the failure.
- **Binding gate.** Only Codex on a direct OpenAI API key gets the
binding. A subscription, ACPX, OpenRouter or a routed connection does
not.
- **Rate card math.**
- **Provider errors.** The error text does not contain the key, and
non-PNG data is rejected.

**Neighbouring suites:**

- `src/drivers/codex` in the runner package: 24 files, 350 tests passed.
- Server: `paperclip-runner-tool-authority.test.ts`,
`native-session-resume.test.ts`, `fast-responses.test.ts`,
`ai-connection-session.test.ts` and the new suite. 157 of 158 passed.
- The one failure is `native-session-resume.test.ts › archives a damaged
prior epoch … with real runnerd` (ENOENT on `authority-epochs`). It
fails the same way on unmodified `master` in this local environment, so
this change did not cause it.
- `tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json`: clean.
- `pnpm verify` exits 2 (broad). Required CI supplies the broad
coverage.

## Risks

- **New security surface: this needs maintainer sign-off.** The server
now sends the agent's OpenAI API key to `api.openai.com` on the agent's
request. The tool is limited in these ways:
  - The key stays in the server.
- Each call checks run, task, budget, mutation and connection authority
again.
- The destination name comes from the server and must match
`^[a-z0-9-]+-[0-9a-f]{8}\.png$`. The write is create-only and confined
to the workspace root. On macOS it uses `O_NOFOLLOW_ANY`. On Linux it
uses a `/proc` descriptor walk.
- **Spend.** Each call costs money. The tool description tells the agent
to make only what the task needs. The cost is an estimate from a rate
card (`costStatus: "estimated"`), not an invoice. The rate card applies
the image-output rate to all output tokens, so the estimate errs on the
high side.
- **Checkpoint rotation.** The tool-contract bump from v18 to v19 makes
existing native provider threads start fresh once at their next turn.
This is what the contract requires when the tool surface changes.
- **Pricing drift.** If OpenAI changes `gpt-image-2` prices, the rate
card must be updated.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, used through Claude
Code with tool use (shell, file edits, sub-agents) and extended
reasoning.

DottaandPaperclip ae1f781cac fix(native): preserve web files without settling remote recovery (#19814)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages work that AI agents perform for users.
> - Native sessions retain files on the web server and state in a remote
provider.
> - Replacing the web server must preserve its files without changing
remote recovery authority.
> - The existing maintenance owner requires destroyed-provider receipts
even when all web writers have settled.
> - This can keep the old web volume required only because a remote
recovery obligation remains unresolved.
> - This pull request adds a closed web-byte evidence mode to the
existing preservation owner.
> - The benefit is durable web-file coverage with unchanged remote
references, failures and continuation policy.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19748, #19806. A search for native harness filesystem evidence and
open web/harness changes found no duplicate implementation.

**What happened?**

A settled successful native source can retain a raw controller, a
separate warm supervisor and provider-home files while its historical
external lease has no termination receipt. The existing
filesystem-independence owner refuses before it can preserve these web
files. One retained skill file can also remain physically present after
its version row was deleted.

**Expected behavior**

Preserve every nonexcluded web file as authenticated evidence. Keep
missing files absent and deleted skill versions deleted. Leave VM
references, recovery actions, failures and execution authority
unchanged. Validate the published web-byte receipt on an empty
replacement using database bindings only.

**Steps to reproduce**

Use the included successful-source fixture with a settled web owner, an
unresolved external lease, real controller/supervisor files and a
retained skill whose version row is deleted. The baseline rejects at its
destroyed-provider guard. The new explicit maintenance mode preserves
the files and validates on a replacement. A separate fixture uses a
prior successful source, a failed retained last run, a genuinely absent
controller, a warm supervisor and 267 durable checkpoint parts.

**Paperclip version/commit**

Baseline `384fa2b7be`; final branch rebased onto `585c885168`. Current
head: `990210d7e9`.

**Deployment mode**

Original-volume maintenance followed by an ephemeral replacement. No
hosted operation or provider request is part of this PR.

## What Changed

- Add explicit `web_evidence` maintenance mode and a separate
`paperclip.native-harness-web-evidence.v1` receipt. Keep the existing
terminated-provider mode and old manifest shapes.
- Archive the closed canonical session-root inventory, the separate warm
supervisor and exact admitted skill manifests through the existing
encrypted `original_volume_source_evidence` owner. Preserve bytes and
modes. Keep canonical credential exclusions.
- Preserve local skill edits and deleted-version files as forensic
evidence. Create no skill version, executable checkpoint, provider
backup or recovery authority.
- Require original-volume capability, settled web writers,
physical/finalizer locks, exact task/source/cohort/input bindings and
final byte/mode/membership comparisons. Keep genuinely absent raw
controllers absent.
- Bind allocation and stamp identity while allowing later external
status and cleanup observations. Validate replacements from durable
database and archive bindings without the original anchor, filesystem or
storage reads.

## Verification

- Node 24.22.2, PostgreSQL 18.1, macOS arm64. The unchanged baseline
fails at the real destroyed-provider guard. The final revision passes
all 85 owner, original-volume capability and unchanged
continuation-policy cases in 21.14 seconds.
- Tests perform real encryption, persistence through the S3 storage
interface backed by the owned local fixture, authenticated restore and
exact byte/mode comparisons. The 281-byte file remains present while its
version row remains absent. The evidence archive stays separate from the
provider-session backup scope.
- The supervisor-only case preserves 267 database checkpoint parts,
keeps the raw controller absent and validates without original-volume
identity. Existing strict-mode and old receipt controls pass.
- Negative controls cover active web writers, expired but owned
finalizers, physical owners, foreign controller/supervisor identities,
missing manifests, symlinks, changed bytes/modes/membership/source
during upload, changed durable bindings, incomplete receipt coverage and
invalid late publication. Concurrent attempts retain one valid winner
and one audit event.
- Server TypeScript, module boundaries, diff checks and private-data
scans pass. The verification planner's first invocation used a wrong
script path; its canonical invocation refused a plan because fixture
inputs changed during selection. Neither attempt counts as a pass.
Required CI will provide broader application coverage.
- Earlier fixture and treatment failures remain recorded. They exposed a
missing helper, JSONB property-order instability, missing
separate-supervisor mode coverage and fixture timing/source/count
errors. The final same owner suite passes without weakened assertions.
- A canonical cleanup audit found two additional observation fields: the
cleanup controller and manual-attempt ID. Their real publication updates
reproduced false receipt invalidation on the first PR head. The narrow
correction keeps WEB coverage valid through those observations while
changed allocation identity still fails. The exact same 85-case suite
passes afterward. The final `990210d7e9` head has fresh Greptile 5/5
with no comments or unresolved threads. Required CI run
[42370607882](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42370607882)
passes: 55 successful checks and four intended skips, plus successful
Snyk. The old head's CI was superseded by this correction and is not
counted as a pass.

From `server/`:

```sh
node ../cli/node_modules/tsx/dist/cli.mjs ../packages/db/src/test-postgres-command.ts -- node ../node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run src/services/native-runtime/native-harness-filesystem-independence.integration.test.ts src/services/native-runtime/native-harness-original-volume.test.ts src/services/native-runtime/native-harness-filesystem-independence-continuation.integration.test.ts --hookTimeout 90000 --maxWorkers 1 --fsModuleCache
```

## Risks

This changes a maintenance trust boundary. It proves web-byte
preservation, not provider recovery or termination. External recovery
obligations and existing resume failures remain. Unknown layouts,
missing manifests, active local owners and changed authority fail
closed. Invalid receipts are not automatically replaced.

The inventory has independent limits of 128 entries, 16 MiB per file and
64 MiB total. Larger valid data stays on the original volume and blocks
this mode. Canonical credential exclusions remain excluded. Evidence
uses the existing encrypted ledger and retention roots; it does not
become an executable backup. Old receipts remain byte-compatible.

Startup adds bounded per-retained-scope database reads. Measure the
affected cohort's actual serving startup cost before enrollment.
Validation adds no filesystem or object read, worker or recurring poll.
Live source qualification and publication remain separate after review,
merge and normal delivery.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, repository tools and
PostgreSQL/filesystem test execution. The runtime does not expose a more
specific serving model ID or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip d2efe3392b fix(native): preserve retired authority evidence (#19806)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages work that AI agents perform for users.
> - Native sessions retain control-plane files when execution authority
moves to a later run.
> - Volume migration must preserve these historical bytes before a
server can stop depending on its old volume.
> - The existing preservation owner archives the current controller and
supervisor, but refuses a nonempty authority-epoch directory.
> - A settled four-run session can therefore remain blocked after its
current controller archive is complete.
> - This pull request adds a closed historical inventory to the existing
encrypted evidence archive.
> - The benefit is preserved source evidence and database-only
replacement validation without granting execution or recovery authority.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19748. A search of pull requests for filesystem independence and
issues for authority-epoch history found no duplicate change. This fixes
its uncovered historical-file case.

**What happened?**

A settled native session retained three prior controller files in
authority-epoch directories. Its three historical database checkpoint
headers were absent. Maintenance preserved the current controller, then
refused filesystem independence because those historical files remained
uncovered.

**Expected behavior**

Preserve the exact historical bytes and modes through the existing
encrypted evidence owner. Keep original files, prior archive rows, run
outcomes, warnings, stamps, session pointers, and recovery policy
unchanged. Validate the resulting receipt on a replacement without the
source volume.

**Steps to reproduce**

Use the included four-run fixture with a current-controller-only
archive, three prior authority epochs, destroyed provider receipts,
released ownership, and absent historical checkpoint headers. Call the
canonical filesystem-independence owner. The base rejects the nonempty
directory; the treatment preserves the complete evidence and validates
it after removing source-volume identity from the test process.

**Paperclip version/commit**

Baseline `ef83d566cacf1d5f740d701560597dad2bfa4619`; final branch
rebased onto `27170dca49`.

**Deployment mode**

Original-volume maintenance followed by an ephemeral replacement. This
PR performs no hosted migration or provider operation.

## What Changed

- Add optional closed authority-epoch entries to the existing
`original_volume_source_evidence` archive. Preserve nested file bytes
and modes through the existing encryption, readback, ledger, audit, and
retention owners.
- Bind each epoch to its retained run, canonical checkpoint identity
when present, or explicit header absence plus the exact admitted
authority binding. Keep current-source checkpoint and artifact checks
strict. Historical evidence never becomes an executable checkpoint.
- Recheck the complete historical inventory at archive and receipt
publication fences. Keep physical locks, all-run ownership and
termination checks, source capability checks, and final CAS.
- Bind the history inventory and its database facts into the
authenticated archive manifest. Replacement validation uses database
bindings only. Later header presence, removal, retirement, or changed
identity invalidates the receipt.
- Leave history-free manifest bytes and receipt shapes unchanged. Keep
an existing current-controller-only archive when a later complete
archive is added. Unknown children and other nonempty history
directories remain blockers.

## Verification

- Node 24.22.2, PostgreSQL 18.1, macOS arm64. The final four-run fixture
fails on the baseline owner at its nonempty-history guard. The same
final fixture and treatment pass all 51 focused PostgreSQL/filesystem
cases.
- The positive case performs actual encryption, object-store
persistence, authenticated restoration, and exact byte/mode comparisons.
It proves replacement database-only validation with absent source paths
and storage reads refused.
- Controls cover foreign identities, unknown children, owned prior runs,
changed bytes or new files after upload, missing or newly present
historical headers, malformed and retired headers, an unknown authority
override, receipt-identity tampering, and a late concurrent winner.
Existing current-controller evidence and history-free manifest bytes
remain intact.
- The baseline/treatment driver restored only its two owned source files
in `finally` and verified their exact hashes. Earlier setup and
treatment failures remain recorded: missing bundled PostgreSQL library
links, an overly narrow raw-schema check, and an incorrect synthetic
transient-workspace binding. The final baseline and treatment use the
corrected same fixture; those earlier attempts are not counted as
passes.
- Review follow-up `21183b75f4` closes the missing-history-field gap.
Deleting history from an actual published receipt reproduced an invalid
true result before the fix. Unconditional manifest reconstruction now
rejects it; all 46 owner cases pass. Genuine history-free manifests
retain their exact bytes.
- Review follow-up `f3d305dd36` adds suspended historical Runner-state
bytes and mode checks through authenticated restore, active/foreign
state refusals, exact 16 MiB and 64 MiB boundaries, and retention of an
oversized file without publication. All 51 cases and server TypeScript
pass; production behavior is unchanged.
- CI run `42362784772` on the previous head had one unrelated 30-second
timeout in `manual-private-cell-report-assets.test.ts`, with 6,864
support tests passing. The failure remains recorded. The prior head
`21183b75f4b223cd3ec28124cdc194f24b4f79ba` passes [required CI run
42363408227](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42363408227),
including Runner support: 55 successful checks and four intended skips,
plus successful Snyk. The final test/documentation head
`f3d305dd3690a7db38b57c4a77389c17206cb76b` passes [required CI run
42364958386](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42364958386):
55 successful checks, four intended skips, one neutral review check, and
successful Snyk. Fresh Greptile is 5/5; all four review threads are
resolved. No timeout or assertion was weakened.
- The count warning is resolved as independent bounds: the actual
descriptor accepts 32 control-plane-only epochs (97 entries) and 32
epochs with 31 Runner states (128 entries), and rejects 129 entries. The
32-epoch and 128-entry maxima both apply; the capture budget is
unchanged.
- Server TypeScript and module-boundary checks pass. The local
verification planner selects ten broad application lanes; required CI
supplies that wider coverage instead of duplicating it locally.
- Reproduce the focused owner suite from `server`:

```sh
node ../cli/node_modules/tsx/dist/cli.mjs ../packages/db/src/test-postgres-command.ts -- node ../node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run src/services/native-runtime/native-harness-filesystem-independence.integration.test.ts --hookTimeout 90000 --maxWorkers 1 --fsModuleCache
```

## Risks

This changes a maintenance trust boundary. A source capture is limited
to 128 entries, 16 MiB per file, and 64 MiB total. These limits are
intentionally below the Runner's 256 MiB state maximum. Larger valid
epochs remain on the original volume and continue blocking filesystem
independence. It uses bounded directory reads and file descriptors,
rejects aliases and unknown paths, and rechecks bytes before
publication. Storage failures retain original files and ledger evidence;
they do not settle recovery or authorize a retry.

Startup adds bounded database reads for retained historical header
bindings or their absence. It adds no source filesystem or storage
reads. The selected cohort's serving startup cost still needs
measurement before enrollment. Other historical layouts require their
own canonical source qualification. No missing provider history is
declared recovered, and no automatic corruption repair is added.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, source editing, shell tools,
and PostgreSQL/filesystem test execution. The runtime does not expose a
more specific serving model ID or context-window size.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 1674902b4f fix(native): settle a crashed controller's running workspace finalize once a later attempt finishes (#19807)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A native run saves its workspace in a `workspace_finalize` operation
after the agent gives a result
> - A crash loop can kill the server after it records this operation as
`running` and before it finishes
> - The next server resumes finalization and records a new attempt,
which succeeds
> - Nothing settles the first attempt, so it stays `running` forever and
looks like live work
> - This pull request settles the old attempt when a later attempt for
the same run finishes, under the proof that the old controller is gone
> - The benefit is that no workspace operation stays `running` after its
owner is dead

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19666, #19759, #19721, #19717

**What happened?**
A control-plane restart chaos test sent SIGKILL to the server while a
native run finalized its workspace. The server crash-looped. One boot
recorded a `workspace_finalize` operation as `running` and then died. A
later boot resumed finalization. Its new operation (with
`resumedFromOperationId` set to the old one) succeeded, and the run
succeeded. The old operation stayed `running` at rest.

**Expected behavior**
When a later finalization attempt for the same run finishes, and the
owner of the earlier attempt is proven gone, the earlier attempt gets a
terminal status with a reason. A live owner keeps its attempt.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a native run that finalizes a workspace.
2. Kill the server with SIGKILL after it inserts the
`workspace_finalize` row, and before it updates the row.
3. Restart the server and let it finalize the run again.
4. See that the first `workspace_finalize` row stays `running`.

**Paperclip version or commit**
`ef83d566ca` (also on `27170dca49`).

## What Changed

- Root cause: `attemptNativeWorkspaceFinalization` in
`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-workspace-finalizer.ts` reads
the previous attempt only to set `resumedFromOperationId`. It records
the new attempt but never settles the previous `running` attempt. The
early "already succeeded" return path also left it alone. Only the
recorder that started a row can settle it (`workspace-operations.ts`
`recordOperation`), and a killed process never does.
- Add `settleSupersededNativeWorkspaceFinalizations` in
`native-workspace-finalization-supersession.ts`. It sets earlier
`running` native finalize attempts for the run to `failed`. It writes
`metadata.supersededFinalization` (reason
`superseded_workspace_finalization`, superseding operation id and
status), an stderr note, a terminal-workspace wake (registered before
the write), and a `workspace_operation.reconciled` activity entry.
- The proof is the run's workspace-finalization ownership, not age. The
caller holds the advisory lock and the durable owner receipt. That claim
requires the previous controller to have released it or to be proven
stopped (same-host process proof, platform proof, or a completed
copyback barrier). The function also skips an attempt that this process
is still running, and attempts with independent obligations
(`uncertain`, `saveWork`). It only touches rows that
`native_workspace_finalizer` recorded and that are older than the
superseding attempt.
- The finalizer calls it after a new attempt reaches a terminal status,
and on the "already succeeded" path. A settlement error is logged and
does not change the finalization result.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-workspace-finalization-supersession.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-workspace-finalizer.test.ts` on
embedded Postgres: 72 passed.
- New tests in `native-workspace-finalization-supersession.test.ts` (a
separate file, so `native-workspace-finalizer.test.ts` stays under 1,000
lines):
- A `running` finalize from a dead controller plus a resumed attempt
that succeeds: the old row becomes `failed` with the supersession
reason, no `running` rows remain, and one activity entry exists.
- The resumed attempt fails: the old row is still settled, and
`supersedingStatus` is `failed`.
- A `running` finalize older than an already succeeded attempt: the old
row is settled on the next sweep.
- While another controller holds ownership, the `running` row stays
`running`.
  - A `running` finalize recorded by another service stays `running`.
  - Attempts with `saveWork` or `uncertain: true` stay `running`.
- Red/green: with the settle call disabled, the three settle tests fail
(row stays `running`). With the fix, all pass.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server` passes.

## Risks

- Low. The change only writes rows that are already proven abandoned,
and only under the finalization ownership that already fences copyback.
- A settled attempt now reads as `failed`. Readers pick the latest
attempt by creation time, and the superseding attempt is always later,
so the run's finalization outcome does not change.
- Existing leaked rows on runs that never finalize again stay `running`.
This PR does not add a backfill.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip bf12b2d8ad fix: retry reviewed chat setup after temporary contention (#19787)
Retry reviewed chat preparation with the original accepted input.

Bound retries for authorization proof waits that expire before provider
work. Preserve the original answer receipt and queue later wakes
separately. Keep plan confirmation semantics by assigning the interaction
marker only to question answer delivery and legacy question payloads.

Verification: 433 tests across four backend suites, all 17 project-chat

plan approval regression was reproduced on the previous head before the
fix. All applicable CI passed and exact-head Greptile Apex scored 5/5.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19501, #19699, #19720

**What happened?**

Storm 8, run 84c532f7 and its Retry 0faead66 (ACPX Claude, task CHA-5).
The steps are the same in both runs:

1. `resume_dead_runner`, then `session.resumed`, then `turn.failed` with
`provider_turn_lost_on_restore` (recoverable).
2. The restart continuation runs. Claude starts the bench in the
background and ends the turn with "I'll wait for the notification when
it completes". The turn completes with no `paperclip_finish`.
3. Lifecycle: "provider turn completed without a semantic result;
same-run disposition recovery persisted" (attempt 2).
4. 30 s later, attempt 3 restores the session. It sends no turn. After
about 2 s it fails with `native_finalization_missing: session returned
no semantic result`, and the attempt count makes it
`native_session_retry_exhausted`.

**Expected behavior**

The continuation tells the agent to finish and report its result. If the
continuation still completes without a result, Paperclip asks for the
disposition one time. Restarts that the run already survived do not
block that request. An agent that never reports a result still fails
closed.

**Root cause**

- `packages/paperclip-runner/src/drivers/codex/codex-harness-session.ts`
`startTurn` (lines 224 and 248): the restart continuation uses the
driver's one-shot disposition marker
(`dispositionOnlyRecoveryAvailable`). #19699 uses the marker on purpose,
so that a crash can adopt the accepted continuation turn. The marker
then stays consumed with the continuation turn id.
-
`packages/paperclip-runner/src/drivers/codex/codex-session-terminal.ts`
(line 226): only a *lost* continuation gives the marker back. A
*completed* continuation with no result does not.
- `packages/paperclip-runner/src/native-session-runtime.ts`
(`dispositionRecoveryWasSubmitted`, about line 2761): on the next
attempt, the consumed marker looks like a disposition request that
already ran. Recovery replays the continuation's terminal and starts no
turn. So the disposition request never happens.
- `server/src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.ts` (lines
9755-9761 and `nativeSessionFailureDisposition` at 7768): the
`semantic_result_missing` same-run retry charges a provider attempt on
the same counter as restart resumes. In this run, attempt 3 was the last
allowed attempt.
- The continuation prompt (`restartContinuation`) did not tell the agent
to report a result, or not to stop and wait for a background
notification.

## What Changed

- Codex-protocol driver (used by Codex and by ACPX through runnerd):
when a restart continuation completes without a semantic result, the
driver gives back the one-shot disposition marker. The disposition
request is not a continuation, so it consumes the marker for good.
- Native session runtime: after that, the same attempt sends one
disposition request (`Paperclip semantic-result recovery after a restart
continuation ... invoke exactly one paperclip_finish or
paperclip_block`). It does this only when the driver shows that the
continuation borrowed the marker and gave it back. Other drivers keep
the current behavior.
- Restart continuation prompt: it now says to finish in this turn, not
to end the turn to wait for a background command or a notification, and
to report one `paperclip_finish` or `paperclip_block`.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: one additive paragraph.
- No server change. The disposition request runs in the same attempt, so
it uses no provider attempt. This avoids `native-restart-recovery.ts`
(#19747).

## Verification

Red before the fix, green after:

- `codex-app-server-driver.recovery.test.ts` "keeps one disposition
request after a restart continuation completes without a result". Red:
marker stays consumed on `turn-2`. Green: the marker is given back, one
disposition turn starts, and a resultless disposition turn does not
re-arm.
- `native-session-runtime.test.ts` "settles a restart continuation that
ended without a result through one disposition turn (Codex driver)".
Real Codex-protocol driver with a fake transport. Red: only one
`turn/start`, then `native_finalization_missing`. Green: the disposition
turn `turn-3` reports the result and the run completes.
- `native-session-runtime.test.ts` "asks once for the disposition when a
restart continuation ends without a result" and "fails closed when the
driver keeps the continuation's disposition marker".

Also run:

- `npx vitest run src/native-session-runtime.test.ts src/drivers/codex/`
in `packages/paperclip-runner`: 593 passed.
- `src/live/runnerd-restart-continuation.test.ts` (real runnerd and fake
Codex, killed runner): 5 passed.
- `tsc --noEmit` for `packages/paperclip-runner`.
- `pnpm verify` exits 2 because the doc change is a global CI input.
Required CI supplies the broad coverage.

Not run: a live replay of storm 8 t05 with Claude. The chaos harness
needs provider keys from the operator's shell.

## Risks

- Low to medium. A run whose continuation ends without a result now gets
one more provider turn in the same attempt. The bound is one disposition
request per continuation. Each continuation still needs an admitted
restart, and the provider-attempt budget bounds those.
- If the controller crashes after the continuation completes but before
its checkpoint, the checkpoint keeps the stricter consumed marker. That
case fails closed as before.
- The prompt text changes for restart continuations. It does not change
a protocol schema or a profile digest.

## Model Used

with tool use (shell, file edits, code execution).

and settles a failed re-preparation
> - The benefit is that a Retry finishes after a restart, and a failed
one can be retried again

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19666

**What happened?**
A task without a project failed after a restart
(`native_session_interrupted`). The user clicked Retry. The Retry run
started in a fresh task directory. A restart hit it during bootstrap.
Restart recovery prepared the same run again and failed with
`workspace_validation_failed`: "requested isolated_workspace with
git_worktree, but base workspace
`.../isolated-workspace-attempts/<company>/<issue>/<run>` is not a git
checkout". The task rested blocked with Retry shown. A later Retry click
created no run: the receipt stayed deferred with "New work must wait
while a native run recovers its unfinished accounting." A second storm
wave showed the same failure on a Claude C1 task.

**Expected behavior**
Preparing a run again after a restart reuses the task directory that run
already bound. A git worktree base is only the project's checkout or the
task's own worktree. A run whose re-preparation fails leaves a working
Retry.

**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at `51eb4ff705` and `131b566ca4` (both include #19666).
Restart-chaos waves on 2026-11-07.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Use a task with no project and isolated workspaces enabled. Let a
native run fail after a restart.
2. Click Retry. The run starts in
`isolated-workspace-attempts/<company>/<issue>/<run>`.
3. Restart the control plane while the run bootstraps.
4. The re-preparation fails with `git_worktree_base_not_git_checkout`.
Click Retry again: no run starts.

Root cause:
- `server/src/services/fresh-workspace-continuation.ts`
`readFreshWorkspaceReadiness` returns `null` for a native run that
already has admitted input and a bound workspace (from #19693). This is
correct: the restart must resume the admitted workspace.
- `server/src/services/heartbeat/environment-selection.ts`
(`boundTaskDirectory`) excluded every native recovery binding from the
task-directory path. With readiness no longer fresh,
`useIsolatedTaskDirectory` was false. The default `isolated_workspace`
strategy (`git_worktree`) applied, with the task directory as its base.
- The restart recovery claim set the native coordinator to `observed`
with its lease owner. `failRunSetup` failed the run, but nothing
released that claim. `budgets.ts` reads an open coordinator as
unfinished accounting, and Retry admission reads it as
`controller_settling`.

## What Changed

- Environment selection treats a native recovery binding as the task
directory when it is the task's current binding and a bound isolated
task directory. The directory strategy is kept; it never becomes a git
worktree base. A recovery binding the issue no longer points to keeps
its existing path.
- New `settleFailedNativeRecoveryPreparation`. When a
`bootstrap_incomplete` or `resume_dead_runner` restart claim fails its
re-preparation before any provider dispatch, it settles the claimed
coordinator as `terminal_failure` and wakes deferred work. It only
changes a coordinator that is still `observed`, owned by that claim,
without a result, for a failed run. Reattach claims (live runner) are
not changed.
- `doc/task-recovery.md` describes both rules.

## Verification

- `environment-selection.test.ts`, RC-58 cases: a restarted fresh
attempt bound to the task re-prepares as its task directory
(`useIsolatedTaskDirectory` true). It failed before the fix and passes
now. A binding the issue moved away from keeps the old behavior.
- `native-runtime/native-recovery-preparation-failure.test.ts` (embedded
Postgres): before settlement, Retry admission reports
`controller_settling` (the dead Retry). After settlement the coordinator
is `terminal_failure` with the run's error code, and admission no longer
waits on the controller. Settlement is idempotent. Another owner, a
reattach claim, a run that is not failed, and a coordinator finalizing
elsewhere are left unchanged.
- Local regression: `environment-selection`, `workspace-preparation`,
`retry-workspace-continuity`, `native-recovery-preparation-failure`,
`explicit-native-continuation` (588 tests passed).
- Restart-chaos: local restart-chaos runs on `3a7abef4e5` passed, but
neither one reproduced the exact failure (a restart during the Retry's
bootstrap). The race depends on timing, so the unit tests above are the
red/green proof for both defects.
- `--replay w-20261107T011010-s7403/t02` (codex C1 K4 with the original
fault sequence): PASS, R1-R6 and T. The replay's Retry did not cross a
bootstrap restart.
- Wave `w-20261107T064432-s7210` (codex+claude, C1+B1, K1/K4/K6,
`--triggers retry`, concurrency 2): 8/8 PASS. It had 4 Retries,
including C1 tasks with a fault fired right after the Retry click. No
`git_worktree_base_not_git_checkout` and no dead Retry. The server log
has no "incomplete native runner bootstrap" restart in this wave either.
- `ce7e3f9b19` registers execution work before the settlement writes
(Greptile finding).

## Risks

- A native recovery now re-prepares a bound task directory through the
task-directory path. That path still validates the binding, owner,
status and directory identity before use.
- Settling a failed re-preparation ends that run's recovery claim. It
applies only when the previous runner is verified gone
(`bootstrap_incomplete`, `resume_dead_runner`) and no provider dispatch
started in this attempt. A Retry still passes its normal stop, ownership
and admission checks.

## Model Used

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19558, #19622, #19755.

A saved OpenCode session can fail with
`runner_remote_provider_archive_invalid` after an image update. Its
original provider state and checkpoint remain valid, but its pinned pack
differs from the controller's pack. The old manifest can name a release
that still has the exact code in GHCR. Matching the OpenCode version
does not prove matching proxy or contract bytes.

## What Changed

- Resolve a pinned historical pack from the recorded source-SHA image in
the public Paperclip GHCR repository. Verify the platform manifest, raw
config, source identity, dedicated code layer, selected pack manifest,
archive contents, paths, and hashes.
- Keep a private temporary cache of verified public code. Rebuild it on
an empty host. Bound each source to 4 GiB and three minutes, with two
active imports or cache verifications, 32 distinct queued sources, and
disk-headroom checks. Share warm-cache verification by manifest while
each caller keeps its own cancellation.
- Select this verified archive through the existing uploader. Preserve
installed-pack and preinstalled-pack checks. Refuse unavailable
historical transport before clearing the target. Keep the current-source
identity guard from #19755. Refuse an oversized layer argument before
any target effect.
- Attach the source wait to the actual per-turn startup. Stop, lease
loss, and startup completion cancel it. Keep existing Runner admission
and turn limits.
- Document the registry retention requirement and the distinction
between public code recovery and encrypted provider-state backup.

## Verification

- Genuine baseline RED: the real uploader rejects the selected old pack
before any remote effect. Treatment installs the exact old code through
that uploader.
- Current head: all 19 source/integrity/cache/deadline controls, all 45
archive controls, and 29 actual-caller and manifest/startup controls
pass (93 total). Four review regressions fail against the prior head and
pass with the fixes. The server and colocated test TypeScript graph
passes. Module-boundary and whitespace checks pass.
- Actual public GHCR cold reconstruction: 1,054,587,008 compressed code
bytes, 115.4 s, about 248 MiB maximum owner RSS. All 114 file layers and
the overlay passed source validation.
- Linux Node 24.22.2 fixture: the real historical pack passes the normal
uploader, full installed-file verifier, and pinned OpenCode version
check. It used one transfer, no application startup, no network, and no
provider calls. Revision12b0d2ba passed in 220.2 s with about 282 MiB
owner RSS. The earlier prototype passed in 108.5 s; both measurements
are retained. The three-minute source limit and the fixture's
four-minute limit were unchanged. The later review fixes add shared
cache verification, hash cancellation, and an early size guard. They do
not change extraction or the accepted Linux fixture input.
- Earlier fixture failures are retained: unsafe hardlink classification
was corrected with confined-link controls; a cached image lacked the
required zstd CLI; Docker Desktop bind storage caused GNU tar
directory-identity errors. The passing fixture uses the official Debian
zstd binary and an owned Linux tmpfs target. Production extraction code
is unchanged.
- Fresh Greptile review is 5/5 on
7b1a249478 with no open findings. All
required CI gates passed on the reviewed head. [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42353011485),
[fresh
review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/19779#issuecomment-6704065994).
No hosted session was retried by this change.

## Risks

- Cold historical recovery reads about 1 GiB of public code for the
measured release. Registry latency or missing images can block it. The
source deadline remains three minutes.
- GHCR administrators can delete release images. Source-SHA tags and
this temporary cache are not a permanent code-retention guarantee. A
provider-state S3 backup does not replace legacy executable bytes.
- Targets must support the existing qualified archive transport and
selected platform. Failed checks preserve the saved state and prevent
provider dispatch.
- The Linux fixture proves code installation and verification. Hosted
conversation continuation still needs acceptance after normal delivery.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, repository tools, and local
code execution. The host does not expose the exact deployment ID or
context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip ae2d2956b3 Reject relative local Runner paths before native admission (#19776)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Heartbeat selects the runtime that will execute a task.
> - A new local Native run uses the controller's Runner binary setting.
> - A relative binary path is invalid. The resolver already rejects it,
but that check occurs after Native admission.
> - This pull request checks the same setting before it creates Native
execution authority.
> - Remote providers and admitted Native recovery keep their existing
behavior.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A relative `PAPERCLIP_RUNNER_BINARY` setting can reach local Native
admission before the binary resolver rejects it. The run has transferred
preparation ownership even though this setting cannot start the local
Runner.

**Expected behavior**

Reject this invalid setting before creating a completion contract or
Native coordinator. Keep the existing preparation owner and the run row
unchanged.

**Steps to reproduce**

Set `PAPERCLIP_RUNNER_BINARY=relative-runner`. Select a new local
`paperclip_runner` Native run. The selection must report the existing
absolute-path error before Native admission.

Refs: #19466 and #19340. Those merged changes repair Retry authority and
saved-workspace recovery. This change only moves local path validation
before new admission.

## What Changed

- Add a pure absolute-path check beside the existing binary resolver.
Both use the actual controller environment setting.
- Run that check before a new local Runner admission. Skip remote
execution, API-only providers, and an already admitted Native run.
- Test the rejection, unchanged preparation ownership, controller
setting selection, remote behavior, and immutable recovery. Keep the
existing resolver checks.

## Verification

- The full binary test file passed: 32 tests.
- The full runtime-selection file passed against a dedicated PostgreSQL
database: 62 tests. It exercises real admission transactions, contracts,
coordinator rows, and instruction-copy controls. It replaces context
materialization and remote workspace synchronization at their existing
test boundaries.
- After normal integration with current master, the normal Shared/SDK,
database, eval-kernel and Runner builds passed, together with all seven
normal application TypeScript programs. The original
recovery-preparation case passed again on this integrated revision
against a fresh dedicated database (1 passed; 61 filtered). The earlier
full 32-test binary and 62-test selection results carry only where their
source and executed boundaries are unchanged.
- The first private selection wrapper failed during module resolution,
before any case or database use. A TypeScript wrapper with the same body
recovered that setup failure. This was not a product regression.
- Reproduce with `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-codex-runner.test.ts --maxWorkers=1
--no-file-parallelism`.
- Set `PAPERCLIP_RUNTIME_SELECTION_TEST_DATABASE_URL` to a dedicated
disposable test database before running `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/services/heartbeat/runtime-selection.test.ts --maxWorkers=1
--no-file-parallelism`.

## Risks

- This check validates path syntax only. An absolute path can still fail
the existing file-access or artifact checks later.
- A wrong branch condition could reject remote or existing Native work.
The tests cover these exclusions.
- This does not prove that a real provider can start or that a deployed
service is healthy. It changes no database schema or retry authority.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` through Codex, with source inspection and
code-execution tools. The host does not expose the context-window size.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 2d4f80504e fix(runner): retain exact ACPX checkpoints after rejected turn starts (#19762)
Preserve the exact idle ACPX conversation when a matching turn.start
response rejects work with retryable SESSION_RESUME_REQUIRED. Require
verified identity, no pending work, confirmed process cleanup and the
provider lifetime fence before normal drain and suspension can publish a
reusable checkpoint. Unknown acceptance and arbitrary closed states remain
closed.

The real Runner regression completes the next turn on attempts 2 and 3,
requires successful terminal status for the exact submitted turn, and
checks expectedIdentity on both resume requests. Controlled wire faults
reject failed, cancelled and missing-identity recovery.

Validation: 193 affected Rust tests on unchanged Rust source/fixtures;
134 recovery integration tests, 14 environment-gated skips; 21 Claude effort
tests; all server typecheck layers. Exact-head CI: 59 successful checks and
statuses, 6 intentional skips. Greptile Apex 5/5, no unresolved findings.
Hosted deployment and task acceptance remain separate.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip beb3e55072 Continue a released Runner after confirmed graceful eviction (#19760)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Core can release a completed Runner while its host retains the
session.
> - A host can later retire that Runner under its retention policy.
> - Graceful retirement saves a suspended session before physical
shutdown.
> - A cached Core owner still expects the old physical task and rejects
a new allocation.
> - This pull request retires that dead local controller after verified
stop.
> - The benefit is ordinary session continuation for Codex and qualified
Claude.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19611, #19683, #19196, #19733 and #19157.

After a host gracefully evicts a released task, the next run can receive
a new allocation. A cached controller rejects it with
`native_session_released_owner_scope_mismatch`. The detached-controller
path can already recover the suspended session.

## What Changed

- Require the exact source, old task and current account/workspace scope
before releasing a cached controller.
- Use the existing physical-stop receipt checks. Detach only the local
controller, then use the same suspended-state admission as the detached
path.
- Preserve the current run's instruction reservation. Retain a failed
detach for cleanup.
- Add actual Core, PostgreSQL and native Runner tests for Codex and
qualified Claude through ACPX. Route them once through the native CI
lane.

## Verification

- The original real-entry Codex case failed at the cached-task scope
check after native retirement, confirmed process exit and a recorded
stop receipt.
- The current head's native CI lane passed all 16 eviction cases for
Codex and qualified Claude. These check cached and detached owners,
current instruction preparation, reused-allocation inspection, missing
stop/state, foreign identity and non-suspended state. They verify the
same provider session, two ordinary turns, one accepted source result
and no replacement submit on refusal.
- Local checks passed the composition matrix, 12 targeted executor
controls, 43 CI lane-selection checks and server TypeScript. All eight
refusal cases now assert the expected error and whether the checkpoint
request or host read was reached. This addresses the first standard
review's test finding.
- Commands: `pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/plugin-runner-eviction.integration.test.ts`,
focused `native-session-executor.test.ts` controls, `node
../node_modules/typescript/bin/tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json`, and `node
--test scripts/__tests__/run-vitest-stable-shard.test.mjs`.
- [Full
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42349579107)
passed on head `9a25709ef43365b1f1849413b935785838eca19b`. [Standard
review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/19760#issuecomment-6703629255)
is 5/5 on this head, with no unresolved findings. Whitespace and
added-line secret/PII checks passed.

## Risks

- Controlled provider processes and an authenticated local host fixture
model the Launcher edge. This does not qualify live vendor transcript
storage, mounts or a deployment.
- This covers graceful eviction before allocation or before stopped-task
inspection during `describe`. Loss after that inspection or an ambiguous
claim remains held for reconciliation. No unavailable reply proves
physical stop.
- Missing or invalid suspended state still refuses continuation. The
deterministic refusal rule from #19733 remains unchanged. Abrupt death
without a suspended checkpoint stays with the separate #19157 work.
- No new capability, mode, schema, dependency, deployment or activation
is added. The existing draft #19157 and dependent branches remain
unchanged.

## Model Used

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 3895195f4b fix(native): report a retained provider pack the controller does not ship as incompatible (#19755)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Remote OpenCode runs stage a controller-owned provider pack into the
sandbox before the provider starts
> - Since #19558, an ordinary OpenCode continuation retains the pack
that an earlier release admitted for its saved provider session
> - After a controller release changes the pack, the controller no
longer ships those bytes, and the continuation must stay blocked
> - The configured-pack upload path did not detect that case: it read
the build-time archive receipt for the old digest and failed with
`runner_remote_provider_archive_invalid`, a generic, retryable error
that suggests corrupt image files
> - This pull request compares the configured pack's identity with the
selected identity before any upload and fails as
`runner_remote_provider_artifact_incompatible`
> - It also puts a fixed reason in each real archive integrity error
> - The benefit is a correct, permanent classification that matches the
bundled-image path, no wasted retries, and a diagnosable message for
real archive corruption

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19558, #19743

**What happened?**

On a hosted deployment, two remote OpenCode runs of a review agent
failed before the provider process started. The error was
`runner_remote_provider_archive_invalid` (classified as a generic
`native_session_interrupted`). Both runs continued an issue whose
provider session was admitted by an earlier release. In both runs, the
run log shows `provider_pack.compatibility`, `provider_pack.verify`, and
`provider_pack.verify_preinstalled` fail, then
`provider_pack.archive.verify` fails after 4–6 ms. Fresh runs of the
same agent on the same controller passed pack preparation with the
current pack.

The cause is not a cache race. The archives are created at image build
time (`Dockerfile` `runner-provider-pack` stage) and the server never
rewrites them. The retained authority selects the old pack digest.
`readProviderPackLayers` then compares the receipt's
`providerPackDigest` (current release) with that old digest and throws
`runner_remote_provider_archive_invalid`. Directory staging (no archive)
instead clears the staged remote pack, uploads the different pack, and
fails only at the final verification.

**Expected behavior**

A continuation pinned to a pack that the controller does not ship fails
as `runner_remote_provider_artifact_incompatible`, as the bundled-image
path already does ("the image provider pack did not match the bundled
release identity"). It does not clear or upload anything. Real archive
corruption keeps `runner_remote_provider_archive_invalid` with a fixed
reason that the run report shows.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Build a provider pack and its archives for digest A.
2. Call `uploadVerifiedProviderPack` with that pack and a selected
(retained) digest B.
3. Before this change: the call fails with
`runner_remote_provider_archive_invalid` (v1 and v2 archives), or
resolves after it clears and re-uploads the remote pack (directory
source).

## What Changed

- `uploadVerifiedProviderPack` takes the configured pack's
`sourceDigest`. If it is not the selected `expectedDigest`, the call
fails with `runner_remote_provider_artifact_incompatible: selected
provider pack <12 hex> is not the controller's pack <12 hex>; ...`. The
check runs before the remote clear, the archive read, the directory hash
and any upload.
- The executor passes the configured pack's identity
(`readRemoteProviderPackIdentity(root, false)`, the same reader that
selects the current pack).
- Archive integrity errors keep the
`runner_remote_provider_archive_invalid` prefix and add a fixed reason:
`receipt_unreadable`, `receipt_identity_mismatch`, `receipt_invalid`,
`layer_invalid`, `layers_unreadable`, `archive_unreadable`,
`archive_not_file`, `size_mismatch` or `sha256_mismatch`. The run report
keeps only the outer message, so the reason must be in the message.
Filesystem causes stay on `cause` and do not put private paths in the
message.
- The v1 reader now uses the shared `verifyArchive` helper.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md` documents the rule.

## Verification

- Red before the fix (production files unchanged, new tests only): `npx
vitest run src/services/native-runtime/provider-pack-archive.test.ts`
gave 5 failed / 38 passed. The v1 and v2 cases failed with exactly
`runner_remote_provider_archive_invalid`, which is the hosted error. The
directory case resolved after it cleared and uploaded the remote pack.
The reason tests got a bare `runner_remote_provider_archive_invalid`.
- Green after the fix: the same file gave 43 passed.
- `npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts`: 1245
passed. This includes the #19558 continuation cases.
- `remote-provider-pack`, `remote-provider-pack-authority` and
`remote-provider-pack-verification` tests: 69 passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`: all layers passed.
- Review follow-up (`c8156841a9`): an unreadable numbered layer now
reports `archive_unreadable`. The layered-corruption test deletes
`0.tar.zst` and checks for that reason before any transfer. The archive
file gave 43 passed.
- Hosted evidence came from read-only run, event and issue-run reads
only. No hosted retries, recovery or deploys.

## Risks

- This change does not unblock an affected session. It makes the failure
honest and permanent: `runner_remote_provider_artifact_incompatible` is
already a permanent, pre-session failure code, so the run is not retried
with the same result. To recover, the session needs its original
artifacts (the captured provider-artifact path, which #19743 repairs for
new admissions) or an authorized continuity break.
- Low risk for other paths. Fresh launches select the configured pack's
own identity, so the digests are equal. Restored provider artifacts and
compatible installed packs return before this upload path.
- Callers that match `runner_remote_provider_archive_invalid` with a
substring still match. No code compares the exact message.
- Not tested end to end against a hosted sandbox. The executor-level
wiring of `sourceDigest` has typecheck coverage but no dedicated
executor test.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic. Agentic tool use with
shell, code editing, test execution and read-only authenticated browser
diagnostics.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 6d112c74cf fix(native): do not charge a restart resume that never started the provider (#19747)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs have an execution recovery budget of three provider
attempts, so a run that keeps failing stops retrying
> - #19720 stopped charging a crash restart when the previous restart
resume made progress
> - In a crash loop (several kills within seconds), the controller can
die again before the resumed execution starts its runner
> - The next claim then charged that resume, although it used no
provider work
> - This pull request does not charge a resume that never started; the
next claim replaces it
> - The benefit is that fast restart bursts do not exhaust a healthy
run's budget, and the generation cap still bounds real loops

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19720, #19625

**What happened?**
In a restart-chaos storm wave, 8 runs still reached
`execution_recovery_budget_exhausted`, mostly in K6 crash loops (three
kills in about 20 seconds). Example: a Codex run was claimed at
generation 9, attempt 3. The controller was killed 6 seconds later,
before the executor recorded `native.process_start_requested`. The next
claim found no progress after generation 9's position, charged, and
blocked the run at attempt 3. The recorded history of the blocked runs
shows that almost every charge after the first restart was for a resume
with no start evidence (no runner request and no runner event) before
the next claim. Two runs were blocked at generation 12, the existing
cap.

**Expected behavior**
A resume that never started the provider consumed nothing and must not
be charged. A resume that started and then made no progress must still
be charged. The generation-12 cap stays.

**Steps to reproduce**
Start a native run. Kill the server during the run. Let a restart resume
do work. Then kill the server repeatedly within seconds, before each new
controller starts the runner. After one or two such bursts the run is
blocked with `execution_recovery_budget_exhausted`.

## What Changed

- `native-restart-recovery.ts`: `restartResumeKeepsAttempt()` replaces
`previousResumeMadeProgress()`. It reads the previous claim's recorded
`progressWatermarkSeq` and `progressAttempt`
(`lastRecoveryClaimResume()`).
- New `nativeExecutionStartedSince()`: after the watermark, it looks for
`native.process_start_requested`, `native.process_identity_recorded`,
`adapter.invoke`, `tool.execution.started`, or any event with a runner
`source_event_id`. This is the same start evidence as
`hasNativeExecutionStartEvidence()`, limited to events after the
watermark.
- When the previous resume never started, the claim keeps the attempt if
the run is already at the attempt that resume was to run as. If the
executor never applied that charge (killed before its execution lease),
the claim charges once, so the run reaches that attempt and never goes
above it.
- When the previous resume started, the #19720 progress rule applies
unchanged.
- The generation-12 cap applies to both rules.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md` states the rule.

## Verification

New tests in
`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts`
(embedded Postgres, real `claimNativeRestartRecoveries`):

- `does not charge for a resume killed before it started the provider
(after the executor took its lease)`: one progress resume, then four
crash claims with no start evidence. The attempt stays 2. A resume that
starts and fails then charges to 3. Red on master (charged to 3, then
blocked).
- `... (before the executor took its lease)`: the same with the lease
never taken. Green on master and with the fix, as a guard.
- `charges the owed attempt once when an unstarted first resume is
replaced`: the replacement claim charges once (attempt 2).
- `bounds a crash loop that never starts the provider`: blocks after the
generation cap. Red on master (blocked at the third claim).
- The #19720 tests now record `native.process_start_requested` in their
resumes, as a real resume does.
- `native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts`,
`heartbeat-native-restart-suspension.test.ts`,
`native-restart-recovery-isolation.test.ts`,
`native-remote-retry-admission.test.ts`: 231 passed, 14 skipped.
- `tsc --noEmit` for `server` has no errors in the changed files.

## Risks

- A crash that happens before the runner start, every time, gets free
resumes until generation 12. Then the budget applies. This is the same
bound as the progress rule.
- Start evidence is the executor's durable
`native.process_start_requested` record, written before any backend may
spawn a runner. If an older path launched a provider without it, that
resume would be treated as unstarted until the generation cap.

DottaandPaperclip f673bd3cb5 fix(native): verify legacy harness filesystem independence (#19748)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native sessions retain provider checkpoints and recovery state
across turns.
> - Server replacement must preserve every remaining local data
dependency.
> - A legacy backup stamp can outlive a destroyed provider and an absent
local backup.
> - Surviving skill files can already have exact immutable package
copies.
> - Raw controller files also contain stream events that database
checkpoints omit.
> - This pull request records verified filesystem independence under the
original-volume maintenance owner.
> - Replacement startup checks durable bindings while existing resume
failures and policies remain intact.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19715, #19729, #19733.

**What happened?**

Startup treats every retained legacy backup stamp without a current
backup row as a local filesystem dependency. This also blocks sessions
whose provider was already destroyed and whose remaining local skill
bytes have exact durable copies.

**Expected behavior**

An authorized maintenance owner can prove that an exact retained source
has no uncovered local harness payload. Startup can use that proof after
replacement. The proof must preserve failed recovery state and must not
invent a provider backup.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Retain a terminal native session, its checkpoint, and its legacy
backup stamp.
2. Record exact canonical destroyed-provider receipts. Keep only
admitted immutable skill files on the original host.
3. Publish the owner-verified independence receipt. The old startup
predicate still blocks; the updated predicate validates its durable
bindings.

## What Changed

- Add an internal original-volume capability. It requires a private
nonce anchor, independently reviewed attachment evidence, current
reserved runtime identity, and a witness that is at most 120 seconds
old.
- Verify retained and selected-source inputs, checkpoints, leases,
destroyed-provider receipts, released ownership, and exact immutable
skill references.
- Inspect canonical persistence roots and compare surviving skill bytes
and modes. Refuse any provider directory present outside the current
persistence profile, including an old Codex home after a
preconfigured-home switch. Unknown data, backups, history, owners, or
source changes still block publication.
- Preserve raw controller and supervisor bytes through the existing
encrypted evidence archive owner. Match recovery records to the database
checkpoint, authenticate the exact archive row, and compare the original
bytes again before publication. The archive grants no executable
authority.
- Publish one audited receipt with source locks and a final comparison.
Keep original files, stamps, warnings, statuses, and session pointers. A
late capture retains a valid published winner and refuses an invalid
receipt.
- Validate published receipts from current database bindings on
replacement hosts. Add no startup filesystem probe, object read,
provider call, or recurring worker.

## Verification

- Genuine baseline regression: restore the original startup predicate
while keeping the actual receipt owner. The positive
PostgreSQL/filesystem case fails with expected `false`, actual `true`
after valid publication. Restore the changed predicate; the case passes.
- Final rebased head `e78f4b4424`: 42 affected PostgreSQL/filesystem
cases pass. This includes 32 owner guards, three paired continuation
cases, six existing failed-source archive controls, and one existing
lease-verified backup migration control. The other 113 tests in the
selected existing files were explicitly unselected.
- Genuine controller baseline: the unchanged prior owner publishes no
raw archive and accepts missing checkpoint parts. Both new regressions
fail. The repair passes encrypted byte-for-byte controller/supervisor
restore, missing checkpoint, foreign source, active source, and
changed-after-upload controls.
- Genuine omitted-provider baseline: the unchanged owner accepts old
Codex, OpenCode, and ACPX history after a preconfigured-home switch. All
three refusal cases fail. The fix passes those cases and permits
preconfigured execution with no omitted directory.
- Genuine late-publication baseline: both concurrent winner tests fail
before the repair. The repair keeps the existing valid receipt, refuses
an invalid one, and keeps one audit event. A delayed raw upload also
retains the first authenticated archive and its receipt.
- Capability controls: 12 passed, including empty replacement refusal,
stale or future evidence, changed deployment, missing volume, path
aliases, changed anchor, and current remount identity.
- The actual server-to-Runner boundary preserves explicit recovery
policy on original and empty homes. The separate actual CREATED-sandbox
preparation callback preserves checkpoint identity and policy without a
backup. Provider I/O and final transport construction are controlled.
- Warm sessions retain the same canonical refusal on both homes, make no
backend/provider attempt, and retain the saved checkpoints.
- Server TypeScript, module boundary checks, diff checks, and a
private-data scan pass. The Runner TypeScript build was refreshed after
rebase to include two new upstream exports.
- Fresh Greptile review is 5/5 with no unresolved threads on
`e78f4b44240b0fc33c2fd7cae2d5b4a2578e3153`; check `128330103712`
completed successfully. Required CI remains pending. No live
preservation or enrollment action ran.

Focused command from `server/`:

```sh
node ../cli/node_modules/tsx/dist/cli.mjs ../packages/db/src/test-postgres-command.ts -- node ../node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run src/services/native-runtime/native-harness-filesystem-independence.integration.test.ts src/services/native-runtime/native-harness-filesystem-independence-continuation.integration.test.ts src/services/native-runtime/native-controller-migration.integration.test.ts src/services/native-runtime/native-harness-backup-storage.integration.test.ts --testNamePattern 'owner-verified|legacy harness continuation|preserves a failed source online|migrates a lease-verified' --hookTimeout 90000 --maxWorkers 1 --fsModuleCache
```

## Risks

- This proves that no uncovered harness payload remains local. It does
not recover provider history or certify that no other copy exists.
Existing governed-wait and warm-session failures remain.
- Unknown providers, retained owners, extra payloads, missing
references, or changed source bindings fail closed. Invalid receipts
require investigation; this change does not repair or replace them
automatically.
- The maintenance capability requires independently reviewed Railway
attachment evidence. The original anchor remains stable across normal
releases; each new staging invocation needs current deployment and mount
evidence.
- Startup validation adds bounded per-scope database reads. It pages
candidate scopes and caps each source history at 500 rows. Measure the
affected cohort's actual startup latency on the qualified serving build
before enrollment.
- Raw archives use the existing backup ledger, encryption, retention,
and restore machinery. They preserve evidence only. They do not repair
missing provider history or grant a new resume policy.
- Local tests control provider and transport boundaries. Live staging
remains a separate step after review, merge, normal delivery, and a
fresh original-volume capability.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository tools, and local
code/test execution. The exact runtime variant and context-window limit
are not exposed in this session.
