DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 da9a4cb96c fix(native): retire a finished local Runner that stopped before suspending (#19597)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The native Runner path runs each per-turn agent turn through a
runnerd process, and the next turn must prove that the previous Runner
is finished before it takes over the saved session root
> - Under load, a local turn can have its result accepted while its
`runner.suspend` command does not finish, so the Runner's own receipt
stays unsuspended
> - The retirement proof that handles the same case for sandbox Runners
refused every local Runner with `target_not_sandbox_runner`
> - So the next turn failed with `runner_state_identity_mismatch:
prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate` and its session root was
quarantined
> - This pull request extends the retirement to a local Runner when the
prior Runner process is proven stopped by exact PID and start time
> - The benefit is that a follow-up turn (for example, after a user
answers a question) continues instead of failing

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19525 (keeps the accepted result in the same incident; this is the
next run).

**What happened?**

In the runner E2E cell
`local-session-integrity.runner-acpx-claude.local.structured-question-restart-resume`,
the first turn asked a question and its result was accepted. The Runner
then logged `runner did not prove durable suspension before checkpoint`
(`runner.suspend` pending, Runner lifecycle `ready`). After a server
restart and the answer, the next run failed with
`runner_state_identity_mismatch:
prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate;
retirement_refused=target_not_sandbox_runner`, and its root was
quarantined.

**Expected behavior**

When the prior local Runner is provably stopped and every other
retirement proof holds, the next run retires that owner as a continuity
break and continues. If the stop cannot be proven, the run keeps the
named rejection.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run a local per-turn native turn whose `runner.suspend` does not
finish after its result is accepted (host load average ~40).
2. Start the next turn for the same session.
3. See `retirement_refused=target_not_sandbox_runner`.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/native-runtime/native-restart-recovery.ts`: add
`proveNativeLocalRunnerStopped`. It uses the existing restart-recovery
checks: the recorded Runner PID is dead or now belongs to a process with
a different start time; its recorded process group is not alive; each
recorded provider process is dead or recycled. A missing PID, start time
or process group, a live recorded process, or a start time that cannot
be compared is not proof. When settlement already cleared the run's
process fields, the saved `native.local_process_stopped` receipt is the
Runner proof. Extract `nativeProviderProcessIdentities` (checkpoint plus
run events) so restart recovery and this proof read provider PIDs the
same way.
- `server/src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.ts`
(`retireFinishedPerTurnRunnerdOwner`, `readSettledRunnerdProjection`): a
local target is now eligible. For a local Runner, the projection accepts
the Runner's own unsuspended receipt for the same identity and
unfinished Runner lifecycle commands (`runner.suspend`, `runner.drain`,
`runner.shutdown`) only. All other proofs are unchanged: committed
result, released lease, no recovery state, stopped controller, delivered
terminal, other commands complete, tool inputs answered, quarantine
copies. The process proof runs before retirement and again just before
the archive.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: describe the local case.
- Tests: seven integration cases in
`native-recovered-owner-followup.test.ts` and ten unit cases in
`native-restart-recovery.test.ts`.

## Verification

- Red before the fix: the four new integration cases failed with
`retirement_refused=target_not_sandbox_runner`, which is the incident
error.
- Green after the fix: `pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-recovered-owner-followup.test.ts`
35/35. The new cases prove that a stopped Runner is retired (root
archived under `continuity-breaks`, no quarantine), and that a live
recorded Runner (`runner_process_alive`), a missing identity
(`runner_process_identity_missing`), and a pending non-lifecycle command
(`journal_commands_unsettled(turn.start.pending)`) keep the rejection.
All existing sandbox cases still pass, including "keeps an unsuspended
Runner receipt decisive" for sandbox targets.
- `native-restart-recovery.test.ts` unit cases: recycled PID, live
process, unknown start time, live group, live provider, missing PID or
start time.
- `native-session-executor.test.ts` + `native-restart-recovery.test.ts`:
1190 pass. `native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts` +
`native-restart-recovery-isolation.test.ts` (shared provider-PID
extraction): 81 pass. `tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json`: pass.
- Live: `pnpm test:e2e:runner -- --max-parallel 1
--max-automatic-retries 0 --id
local-session-integrity.runner-acpx-claude.local.structured-question-restart-resume`,
3 runs at eec57dd5ed: 3/3 PASS. The host load average was ~15 (the
incident had ~40), and `runner.suspend` finished in all three runs, so
these runs show no regression but did not exercise the new retirement
path. The integration cases cover that path.

## Risks

- The new path lets a follow-up archive a local root whose Runner
receipt is unsuspended. This is safe only if the Runner is stopped, so
the proof uses exact PID and start-time identity and fails closed on any
uncertainty. `ps` start times have one-second precision; a sub-second
difference is treated as the same process (not proof).
- A zombie-only process group on macOS can report as alive. That keeps
the rejection, as before.
- No quarantine behavior changes. A refused retirement still quarantines
the root as before.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, through Claude Code
with tool use (shell, file edits, GitHub CLI). Extended reasoning on.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 586caa5f49 fix(native): hand a shutdown-interrupted startup to the next controller (#19596)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The native Runner path runs an agent turn through a runnerd process
that the control plane owns
> - A restart of the control plane must keep the task going without a
click, if that is safe
> - A graceful shutdown closes the HTTP listener first and then drains
the heartbeat runs
> - A native run that was between provider dispatch and runnerd backend
setup in that gap failed with `local_runtime_api_listener_unavailable`,
so the drain did not see it as running and did not suspend it for the
next boot
> - This pull request makes that failure a restart detach: the run stays
running with its claim, the drain suspends it, and the next controller
adopts it
> - The benefit is that a SIGTERM in this window no longer spends a
failure and a same-run retry, and the task continues by itself

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19530 (the same restart window, before provider dispatch).

**What happened?**

In a restart chaos replay (ACPX Claude, local runner), a
restart-recovered run got SIGTERM while
`createRunnerdBackendWithinSessionClaim` built the runnerd backend.
`resolveLocalRuntimeApiUrl()` threw
`local_runtime_api_listener_unavailable` because shutdown had already
closed the listener. The run settled `failed`. The drain then logged
`restartSuspendedRunIds: []`. The next boot used the one bootstrap
retry. A second SIGTERM hit the same window, and the task stopped at a
manual Retry.

**Expected behavior**

A run that this process cannot continue because it is shutting down is
handed to the next controller. It is not settled as failed.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a native Runner task and restart the server (K1) so that
startup recovery resumes the run.
2. Send SIGTERM while the resumed run sets up its runnerd backend.
3. See the run fail with `local_runtime_api_listener_unavailable` and
the drain report no suspended runs.

## What Changed

- `server/src/runtime-api.ts`: `resolveLocalRuntimeApiUrl()` throws the
new `LocalRuntimeApiListenerClosedError` when this process had a
listener and closed it (the `listening` flag is false or the `close`
event fired). The error message stays
`local_runtime_api_listener_unavailable`, so the existing classifiers do
not change. A listener that never started still throws the plain error.
- `server/src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.ts`: for a
local Runner, the startup failure handler treats
`LocalRuntimeApiListenerClosedError` like a restart detach. It stops
lease renewal, keeps the claim and throws
`NativeControllerDetachedForRestartError`. Heartbeat already keeps such
a run `running`. A remote Runner keeps the same-run bootstrap retry from
#19462, because startup recovery has no process evidence to adopt a
claimed remote startup
(`native-runner-restart-preparation.integration.test.ts` still covers
that path).
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: describe the new rule.
- Tests: a heartbeat regression that closes the real runtime API
listener before backend setup, then drains and restarts; a unit test for
the closed versus never-started listener; two `vi.mock` factories keep
the real module exports.

## Verification

- Red before the fix: `pnpm exec vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-native-restart-suspension.test.ts -t listener`
failed with `restartSuspendedRunIds: []` and the run `failed`
(`local_runtime_api_listener_unavailable`, `bootstrap_retry`).
- Green after the fix: the same test passes. The drain suspends the run,
the run stays `running` with `awaiting_runner_reattach`, and the next
controller claims it and reaches the backend once.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-native-restart-suspension.test.ts
src/http/server.test.ts
src/__tests__/server-startup-feedback-export.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-recovered-owner-followup.test.ts`:
1333 tests pass. One timing test in `native-session-executor.test.ts`
failed once under host load average ~30 and passed alone.
- `pnpm exec tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json`: pass.
- Live, restart chaos harness, local ACPX Claude (`claude-sonnet-5`),
`--rc06-masked`, this branch at a35ec8b845 (before the remote-scope
commit 5dc63f24fb, which does not change the local path). The original
replay schedule no longer reached the window, because the task now ends
before the second fault. So I moved the faults earlier: K1 at 10 s, then
K2 as soon as the recovered server is ready.
- K1 + K2, 2 runs: both runs PASS with **R1 pass**. Each drain logged
`restartSuspendedRunIds: [<run>]` (before: `[]`). The next boot
classified the run `resume_dead_runner` and the same run completed. No
`local_runtime_api_listener_unavailable` failure.
- K1 + K2 + K2, 2 runs: each drain suspended the run. The fourth boot
blocked the run with `native_restart_recovery_blocked`, because three
restart claims used the three-attempt recovery budget. Retry then
completed the task (R3 pass). That budget count is a separate open item.
This pull request does not change it.

## Risks

- Low. The new path applies only after this process closed its own
listener, which happens only during shutdown. The run then waits for the
drain or the next boot, as for the other restart detaches.
- If shutdown does not reach the drain (for example SIGKILL after the
listener closes), the run keeps its live claim until the claim expires.
Then startup recovery handles it as a hard restart. This is the same as
any run that is running at a hard kill.

DottaandPaperclip b55d8a9201 fix(runner): retain admitted OpenCode pack on ordinary continuation (#19558)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and preserves their work across runs.
> - Native OpenCode turns can restore a saved provider session after the
prior daemon stops.
> - The Rust provider binds that saved state to exact qualified launch
paths and artifact bytes.
> - Ordinary continuation selected the current provider pack, although
live reattachment retained the admitted pack.
> - A new proxy or a diagnostics setting could therefore replace the
launch profile behind saved state.
> - This pull request retains the recorded pack for ordinary OpenCode
continuation with a verified durable binding.
> - The benefit is compatible continuation without weakening artifact
integrity or granting replay authority.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #17512, #18237. These added saved authority and compatible pack
reuse. This change covers ordinary OpenCode continuation.

**What happened?**

An ordinary remote OpenCode continuation could select a newer pack while
restoring its existing provider session. The Rust recovery guard then
rejected the changed launch profile. The same error can occur after a
controller release changes the bundled proxy.

**Expected behavior**

A continuation with a valid saved binding and pack receipt uses the same
admitted artifacts. If those artifacts are unavailable, it holds the
saved state instead of selecting another pack or creating a provider
session.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Admit a remote OpenCode session with a qualified protected provider
pack.
2. Persist its pack receipt and suspended durable Runner state.
3. Change the controller bundle to a valid pack with a different proxy
digest.
4. Start an ordinary continuation with diagnostics enabled.

The new executor regression fails before the repair because selection
rejects the available original pack in favor of the new bundle. It
passes after the repair.

## What Changed

- Retain the saved provider pack for ordinary OpenCode continuation with
a verified durable session binding.
- Keep provider-pack retention independent of surviving-daemon identity:
a new daemon records its current binary, and an authorized continuity
break restores normal compatible pack selection.
- Test retained pack selection after a proxy upgrade and fail closed
when only a newer pack is available.
- Test the real Rust executor with changed, valid proxy file bytes. It
rejects drift without changing saved state and accepts the original
artifacts again.
- Document the selection rule and its limits.

## Verification

- Initial prevention focused Vitest: 220 passed across native session
execution, pack authority, pack verification and pack preparation. The
executor regression was observed failing before the production change.
- Rust native provider tests: all five OpenCode tests passed. These
include the existing drift guard, actual changed proxy bytes, original
artifact restoration and restart-lost turn behavior.
- Advisory review follow-up: reproduced stale daemon identity in the
actual executor and incompatible pack selection after a governed
continuity archive. Both fail before their corresponding repairs and
pass after them. Added an executor regression for a missing authority
receipt; it remains at the current release integrity gate without
creating a new receipt.
- Updated head `639c080856` integrates master `17901d74ba` by normal
merge. Affected Vitest: 202 passed across four files, including all new
review regressions; all seven server typecheck layers passed. Exact-head
CI and fresh Greptile/Paperclip review are pending. The prior head had
57 successful checks plus successful Snyk and Greptile 5/5; those
results do not qualify this revision.
- Environment: macOS arm64, Node 26.4.0, locked pnpm 9.15.4
dependencies, controlled remote command boundary and real Rust provider
executor. No paid provider calls or hosted retries.
- This is a bounded prevention change. It does not deliver historical
provider artifacts to a replacement sandbox or replacement controller.
Missing saved receipts or unavailable old artifacts remain a separate
cold-recovery gap. No full hosted recovery is claimed.

## Risks

- A continuation now requires its exact recorded pack when it has a
durable binding. A newer installed pack cannot substitute for missing
historical bytes.
- Fresh launches, other providers and explicit continuity replacement
keep their existing paths. Current ownership, company, model, permission
and receipt binding checks remain in effect.
- The repair does not relax the Rust launch-profile guard, replay prior
tool effects, or authorize a new provider conversation. Existing
published review receipts remain history.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The host does not expose the exact model ID
or context window. Capabilities used: reasoning, code editing, shell
execution, tests and authenticated read-only browser diagnostics.

DottaandPaperclip 0e111c5075 fix(recovery): verify host preparation logs before continuation (#19580)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and the work assigned to them.
> - A task can retain saved input after a failure during execution
preparation.
> - Retry must prove that the old attempt stopped and its files are
saved before it admits a new turn.
> - The host can write a skill announcement before it dispatches a
provider.
> - The historical preparation verifier requires an empty log and
rejects this safe host output.
> - This pull request verifies that exact small log against the saved
skill selection and immutable log facts.
> - Eligible saved input can continue once. Uncertain execution and
current policy gates stay held.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #19004, #19464, #19552. These repairs establish the existing
preparation proof. They do not accept the host skill announcement
described here. A search for the exact announcement found no duplicate
repair. This is a bug fix within the existing recovery contract and does
not duplicate a roadmap feature.

**What happened?**

A legacy preparation failed before provider dispatch with a host
bootstrap certificate. Its remote lease stopped and its files were
recovered. A newer preparation failed while that save was in progress.
An accepted Retry then remained in execution recovery because its
ancestor had one host skill log record.

**Expected behavior**

Admit one fresh turn for the existing saved user request after all
execution, workspace and policy proofs pass. Preserve old outcomes and
source records.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create the real PostgreSQL fixture in
`saved-bootstrap-continuation.test.ts`. It includes a recovered remote
workspace, exact stop receipt, bootstrap ancestor, later failed
preparation and saved user status queue.
2. Call `requestTaskRetry`, then call the real resume path concurrently.
3. On the baseline guard, the empty-log control dispatches. Adding only
the host skill announcement leaves zero queued successors and the same
execution-recovery wait.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on master `65aee998a3`. The final branch rebases cleanly onto
`c650f36007`.

**Deployment mode**

Source checkout with real embedded PostgreSQL and controlled log
storage. The reported runtime is a server with remote sandbox
workspaces.

## What Changed

- Add a narrow verifier for one host skill-announcement record. It binds
the complete bytes to the run log reference, digest, size, sequence,
timestamp, output excerpt and recorded skill selection. Each announced
skill must have a saved version; unrelated configured skills may also be
selected.
- Read at most 2,049 bytes with a two-second cancellation deadline.
Missing, slow, changed, additional or provider output fails closed.
- Use this proof only for historical bootstrap ancestors that already
pass the no-provider, settlement, stop and saved-file checks.
- Add real admission regressions for one successor, concurrent resume,
duplicate Retry and delivery of the original saved comment. Add
current-gate and storage-boundary negative cases.
- Document the continuation contract.

## Verification

- **RED:** On the unchanged baseline guard, the exact final fixture
passes the empty-log control and fails the host-announcement case: zero
successors instead of one. The saved comment and Retry remain deferred.
- **GREEN:** 486/486 tests pass across `task-retry.test.ts`,
`explicit-native-continuation.test.ts`,
`saved-bootstrap-continuation.test.ts` and
`verified-preparation-log.test.ts`.
- The new cases cover provider-started evidence, provider events, a
native coordinator, missing stop proof, missing skill selection, changed
hash, unknown output, pending approval and operator Stop.
- Read-boundary cases cover foreign references, changed bytes,
truncation, extra records, malformed selection and cancellation. An
unrelated recovery completes while another read is stalled.
- After the rebase, the original 27 new cases passed again at head
`be640292fe136232e3db0dc6938233f53b6ccb43`. The review fix adds three
cases, and the full 486-test pass includes all 30 new cases.
- The exact previously observed historical input also passes the
production log verifier: one read, 240 bytes matching the stored size
and SHA, the same timestamp and output sequence, and a recorded version
for the announced skill. This uses captured bytes for transport and does
not claim live hosted admission.
- Full local server layered typecheck passes after building this
checkout's Runner declarations and normal excluded-plugin SDK links. The
typing correction also passes all 30 new cases and the actual captured
historical log proof. The prior CI build/typecheck failure was TS7006 in
the JSON parser; it is retained as failed evidence and corrected in this
revision.
- Module boundary and whitespace checks pass. Local verification
selection requires broad CI because the execution contract changed;
focused local suites are recorded above. [Required final-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42281590449)
typecheck, build and tests pass at
`c557cdc4dc57000cb478f9be0717675dcac7364e` (56 successful checks, no
required check pending or failed). Greptile rates this final revision
5/5; the addressed thread is resolved. The advisory hosted Paperclip
Review is paused with its request saved and has not supplied a
final-head assessment. Its pending status is disclosed separately from
required CI and Greptile.
- Controlled fixtures exercise the admission and dispatch receipts.
Hosted continuation still requires rollout and reassessment of the
existing request.

## Risks

This adds one bounded storage read to an active historical admission
check. Failed or uncertain reads keep the existing hold. The host
bootstrap certificate remains the primary no-provider proof. Log text
alone cannot authorize continuation. No schema, retry budget, provider
setting, account selection or scheduler changes.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 family via Codex, with coding and tool use. The exact model
ID and context window are unavailable in this session's metadata.

DottaandPaperclip 96da284ed8 fix(workspaces): attach latest recovered files to Retry (#19542)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages work performed by AI agents.
> - A recovered run must retain its saved files when the user presses
Retry.
> - A prior fresh attempt can leave the task bound to a different
workspace.
> - Remote preparation restored older recovery attachments but omitted
the latest canonical snapshot.
> - The provider also received recovery paths only for fresh workspace
attempts.
> - This change attaches the latest verified snapshot and includes its
paths in the normal continuation context.
> - The selected workspace, its files, and execution admission rules
remain intact.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19479, #19340.

**What happened?**

Retry could start with an older recovery attachment while the newest
saved files stayed in another workspace. A real database regression
restored an older one-line log and omitted a newer verified twelve-line
log. Workspace selection alone did not reveal this failure.

**Expected behavior**

The provider can find and read the newest verified saved files. Recovery
preserves the selected workspace and existing files. Missing or invalid
recovery proof stops preparation.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Recover a failed run into a canonical remote snapshot.
2. Retain a later selected workspace with an older recovery attachment.
3. Press Retry and inspect the actual files and provider continuation
paths after preparation.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on master `5d25117ffad69a93fb92026950b9acd9cec08f69` with
synthetic data and local PostgreSQL 17.

## What Changed

- Follow the admitted run's committed recovery ancestry as well as
retained source IDs.
- Import canonical snapshots as separate `.paperclip-recovered/`
attachments. Reuse snapshot decryption, hash checks, and manifest
validation.
- Check the current writer, company, task, immutable committed snapshot
receipt, and source access before import. Read-only historical proof
remains valid when a later writer advances the source; execution
admission proof is unchanged.
- Preserve older attachments and later selected workspace files.
Repeated imports retain the same path and preserve user edits.
- Include only physically present recovery paths in ordinary provider
continuation context, using the caller’s storage backend.
- Document the contract and add actual-file regressions and negative
evidence cases.

## Verification

- Before the fix, normal Retry admission and remote preparation restored
only the older one-line log. The newest twelve-line archive was
independently readable but absent from the prepared workspace.
- With the original context projection, full heartbeat workspace
preparation restored the files but omitted their paths from provider
context. The regression failed on the missing newest path.
- All 28 focused real-database cases pass together at the final local
revision (46.32s). An earlier run had one asynchronous comment-admission
poll failure before workspace preparation; its bounded rerun passed, and
the fresh final 28-case run also passed without timeout or assertion
changes. These cover actual Retry admission, remote preparation,
provider prompt rendering, missing and corrupt evidence, company and
task scope, duplicate imports, and later workspace files.
- A controlled local child reads the path from provider context and
reports twelve lines with the expected first and last timestamps. It
does not run a loop or write the log.
- `node node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run
server/src/services/workspace-recovery.test.ts -t 'restores the newest
recovered tick bytes|canonical recovery attachments|deduplicates
immutable canonical sidecars|caller.s storage backend|restores ordinary
same-workspace Retry|admits one HTTP Retry|keeps verified
copyback|prepares the .* task workspace|continues recovered preparation'
--fsModuleCache` runs against a dedicated local PostgreSQL 17 test
database.
- Cold save and restore on a new allocation preserves user edits inside
an existing sidecar. Both review findings failed before their fixes.
Incomplete prepared or missing-snapshot references now stop preparation.
- An upgrade regression reproduced valid legacy and canonical sidecar
paths disappearing on same-allocation reuse. The fix rebuilds expected
proofs from existing scoped receipts and checks the live destination,
preserving user edits without copying files on that live allocation. The
same actual-file case also saves the parent workspace, reserves it for a
child, preserves both legacy and canonical paths, and refuses a revoked
receipt. For related-task sidecars, retention verifies the selected
workspace’s succeeded migration history, exact source run/task entry,
and matching workspace and source-run markers. When legacy migration
markers are absent, a verified committed snapshot of the selected
workspace can establish the same exact provenance. It is read once per
preparation with the existing decryption, hash, and manifest validators;
the live workspace is never modified. Task relationships alone grant no
access; fresh import stays scoped to the current task. Missing or
mismatched migration history fails closed. The retained-path checks live
in the attachment owner; remote-workspaces.ts remains below 1,000 lines.
- Further regressions failed before the fix for deleted-sidecar context,
caller-supplied storage, and a legitimately advanced source workspace.
The fixed cases preserve edited sidecars and ordinary same-workspace
Retry restore.
- Real non-root regressions reproduced EACCES when cleaning read-only
directories in import staging and snapshot verification.
Permission-aware cleanup fixes both while preserving live 0555 directory
modes and contents.
- The complete remote file-transport suite passes: 123 tests, including
six real-command provenance cases for absent, matching, foreign,
symlinked, and hard-linked proof.
- Server typechecks include the CI layered configuration, after building
the current Runner TypeScript package and SDK dependency closure. `cd
server && node scripts/typecheck-layers.mjs` passes all seven layers at
the latest head (exit 0).
- macOS arm64, Node 26.4.0, repository-pinned pnpm 9.15.4. The initial
embedded PostgreSQL startup timed out before tests; the passing runs use
a disposable PostgreSQL 17 container with temporary storage. No timeout
was increased.
- Required CI passes at `42495c7a73f3716240987fa403af7511fc9df9b9`: 55
successful checks, three expected skips, no failures; [aggregate
verification](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42282134772/job/128121560893)
passes. Greptile is 5/5 with zero unresolved threads. The separate
hosted Paperclip Review remains queued and is disclosed as pending. This
change has not been deployed; its affected hosted workflow remains held.

## Risks

Canonical snapshot import adds bounded storage and archive work during
active preparation. Upgrading an older related-task sidecar without
migration proof may verify the selected workspace archive once; its
temporary copy is removed and later runs reuse the recorded provenance.
Missing objects, invalid receipts, or archive corruption stop
preparation. Imports use separate directories and do not replace
selected workspace files. Existing admission, Stop, budget, pause, and
provider replay rules still apply.

DottaandPaperclip f513f0efd9 fix(recovery): admit certified process-loss preparation retries (#19552)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip keeps task work durable across server restarts.
> - Restart recovery records a certificate when a Runner preparation
ended before provider work started.
> - Automatic recovery already verifies that certificate together with
saved files and stopped leases.
> - Explicit Retry called a preparation helper that only reached this
proof for status `interrupted`.
> - A certified `failed/process_lost` source therefore stayed blocked
after its files were recovered.
> - This pull request makes the helper reuse the same existing proof.
> - A queued user Retry can then admit one new turn while all current
safety and policy gates remain effective.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A task had a certified process-lost preparation, verified
saved-workspace receipts, a destroyed source sandbox, and one or two
later attempts refused before dispatch. Its accepted Retry request
stayed deferred with `execution_recovery` and created no successor.

The explicit admission helper excluded this source before it could use
the preparation proof added in #19464. This also prevented the
refused-attempt continuation path from #19466 from advancing.

**Expected behavior**

Explicit Retry must use the same positive pre-provider proof as restart
recovery. It must preserve source history, refuse contradictory
execution evidence, honor current policy gates, and admit at most one
successor for the existing request.

**Steps to reproduce**

Persist a legacy preparing run as failed with `process_lost` and the
host bootstrap certificate that provider work did not start. Record its
canonical committed snapshot, recovery/finalization operations, clean
workspace authority, and exact destroyed-lease receipt. Add one or two
unstarted cancelled descendants with the dispatcher's execution-wait
receipt. Accept one Retry request and resume it concurrently twice.
Before this fix, no successor exists and the same request remains
deferred.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on master `a6c22806308e8a3c7b21145f80fb471756bb443d`. Related
repairs: #19464 and #19466.

## What Changed

- Reuse `isInterruptedNativePreparation` before the existing
failed-preparation checks. The existing no-coordinator and
historical-ancestor restrictions remain.
- Add real-database regressions for one and two refused descendants,
duplicate clicks, concurrent resume, continuation dispatch, preserved
history, and unchanged recovery attempt counts.
- Add late-gate checks for provider work, provider events, a newer
native checkpoint, missing bootstrap proof, missing stop proof, a
changed snapshot, formal approval, user Stop, agent/company pause, and a
spent budget.
- Clarify that explicit admission uses the existing certified
preparation proof.

## Verification

- Red: both real-database cases passed the saved-file,
interrupted-preparation, and refused-dispatch proof checks, but the
original successor-count assertion found zero queued runs instead of
one. The accepted requests retained `execution_recovery`.
- Green: the same cases admit one successor after two concurrent resume
calls. Continuation dispatch resolves to the latest refused attempt.
Source and cancelled-attempt history stay intact.
- Complete relevant local suites: **456/456 passed** before rebase.
Command from `server`: `../node_modules/.bin/vitest run --config
vitest.config.ts --fsModuleCache src/services/task-retry.test.ts
src/services/explicit-native-continuation.test.ts`.
- Final head `9788382c019df57899af06e81211e7c5165e7f0d`: the thirteen
new cases passed **13/13** again after rebase. Required CI and review
remain pending.
- Environment: macOS ARM64, Node 26, Vitest 5.0.3, disposable real
PostgreSQL. Tests exercise production request, admission, and
continuation services. No provider executes and no hosted task is
changed.
- Hosted recovery still requires rollout and verification through the
original queued requests.

Final reviewed head: `9788382c019df57899af06e81211e7c5165e7f0d`.
[Required
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42273663624)
passed (56 successful checks, four expected skips, none pending or
failed). Greptile and Paperclip Review both rated this head 5/5 with no
findings; all review threads are resolved.

## Risks

The change accepts only the existing verified preparation contract. An
error label alone is insufficient. Provider-started or contradictory
state remains blocked. Saved-file, lease, approval, Stop, pause, and
budget checks remain effective. No schema, retry limit, provider
setting, account selection, or production scheduler changes.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 c6eecac1e0 fix(heartbeat): keep a shutdown-suspended native recovery for the next boot (#19530)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The Runner Full-Stack E2E workflow tests the Runner in Daytona
sandboxes from a signed, content-addressed image
> - Every change to an audited Runner input needs a new image before a
Daytona cell can test it
> - The image job took 10 to 16.5 minutes today, and a restart chaos
campaign waits on it after each runner-side fix
> - Measurement shows two serial waits: a full Rust dependency compile
(about 5 of 6.6 minutes) and a 3.5 to 4 minute download of cached base
layers that starts only after the builder stages finish
> - There is also no way to build only the image: every dispatch reaches
a paid gate that the operator must reject
> - This pull request removes both serial waits and adds an `image_only`
dispatch input
> - The benefit is a shorter fix-to-Daytona-test loop, with every image
security check unchanged

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The `Publish verified Daytona image` job is on the critical path of the
control-plane restart chaos campaign. Builds today took 16.5 min (run
42240434011), 15 min (42253920727), 10.5 min (42259118276) and 16 min
(42265637650). Run 42264611573 failed: its RunsOn runner lost
communication with GitHub 7.6 minutes into the build step, during the
Rust compile. GitHub has no log for that job.

**Expected behavior**

A Runner source change should not recompile the locked third-party Rust
graph. Cached image layers should download while the builder stages
compile. An operator should be able to publish only the image, without a
paid gate.

**Steps to reproduce**

Read the BuildKit timeline in the logs of job 127970125495 (run
42240434011). See the stage table below.

## What Changed

- `docker/daytona-runner/Dockerfile`: compile the locked Rust dependency
graph in its own layer against placeholder targets. The layer depends
only on `Cargo.toml`, `Cargo.lock` and the crate manifest. The step
deletes the placeholder outputs and fingerprints, so the next step
always compiles the real Runner sources. The final stage still receives
only the stripped executable.
- `docker/daytona-runner/Dockerfile`: move the content-ID /
source-revision check above the two `COPY --from` steps. It does not
depend on either builder stage, so BuildKit now downloads the cached
base and CLI layers in parallel with the compile. Both copies use `COPY
--link`.
- `.github/workflows/runner-full-stack-e2e.yml`: add the boolean
`image_only` dispatch input. `authorize`, `target_lock`, `catalog` and
`daytona_image` run unchanged. Every other campaign job gets `&&
inputs.image_only != true`. `authorize` rejects `image_only` together
with TestOps inputs.
- `tests/runner-e2e/workflow-image-only.test.ts` (new): pin the job
classification, the top-level guard on each campaign job, the guard on
every protected environment, and the TestOps rejection.
- `tests/runner-e2e/README.md`: document the layer layout and the
`image_only` command.

## Verification

Measured on the same RunsOn `m7i-flex.xlarge` (4 vCPU, 16 GiB, native
x64) runner class. "Before" is master job 127970125495 (run
42240434011). "After (cold)" is this branch, job 128077687214 (run
42271236140), with no dependency layer in the registry cache yet. Its
paid gate was rejected.

| Stage | Before | After (cold dependency cache) |
|---|---|---|
| Whole image job | 16.5 min | **11.6 min** |
| Rust dependency graph | 311 s (inside one 399 s step) | 395 s (own
layer; reused from cache after a master build) |
| `paperclip-runner-core` compile | ~87 s | 65 s |
| Cached base and CLI layer download | 236 s, **after** cargo finished |
257 s, **in parallel** with cargo |
| Copy runnerd + provider pack | 20 s + 50 s | 9 s (`--link`) |
| Provider pack stage | 143 s (parallel) | 152 s (parallel) |
| Export + push | 82 s + 10 s | 81 s + 11 s |
| Dependency layer size | n/a | `target` 852 MB + registry 333 MB
(builder stage only) |

With a warm dependency cache, a Runner source change compiles only the
65 s crate step. The critical path then becomes the ~4 min cached-layer
download or the provider pack. The expected job time is about 7 to 8
min. I measure this after merge with an `image_only` dispatch (master
first, to write the cache, then a Rust-only branch change).

Disk: the instance starts with 38.76 GiB free. The dependency layer adds
about 1.2 GB uncompressed to builder storage. The final image does not
change.


- `vitest run tests/runner-e2e/workflow-image-only.test.ts
tests/runner-e2e/workflow-security.test.ts
tests/runner-e2e/daytona-image.test.ts`: the new test and all image
tests pass. Three tests in `workflow-security.test.ts` (`gates every
provider-secret job with stable actor IDs`, `keeps provider credentials
inside explicitly gated paid workflows`, `isolates private archive trust
from workflows that execute target-branch code`) fail on `origin/master`
without this change, because of `chat-catalog-testops-case.yml`. This
pull request does not change them.
- `node --test tests/runner-e2e/product-regression-testops.test.mjs`:
15/15 pass.
- No local Docker build. The Dockerfile is measured with a
branch-targeted CI dispatch whose paid gate was rejected.

## Risks

- The dependency layer keeps the Rust `target` and registry trees in a
builder-stage layer, and default-branch builds export it to the registry
cache. This adds builder disk and cache upload when `Cargo.lock`
changes. The build prints the size (`du -sk target
/usr/local/cargo/registry`).
- The dependency cache helps only after a default-branch build writes
it. Branch builds read it but never write it. This is the existing cache
policy.
- `image_only` changes the workflow, so it works only after merge to
master.
- No check is removed. Lockfile verification, cosign sign and verify,
the anonymous pull check, the provider-pack manifest match, the
default-branch-only cache write and the actor allowlist are unchanged.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, through Claude Code
with tool use (shell, GitHub CLI). Extended reasoning on.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 07ddf9a5c2 fix(native): keep accepted results when runner close cannot prove suspension (#19525)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native runs persist an accepted result first. The Runner then closes
and suspends its session.
> - Under heavy host load, the Runner close can fail to prove a durable
suspension after the result is accepted.
> - The executor then kept its finalization lease. The heartbeat
finalizer got `native_finalization_lease_busy`, and the run ended
`failed/adapter_failed`.
> - The provider work was complete. Only Runner bookkeeping failed, so
the run must not fail.
> - This pull request hands the exact lease to finalization and
completes the run from its accepted result.
> - The benefit is that an accepted result stays accepted, independent
of host load.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A native ACPX Claude run asked a structured question. The control plane
accepted its result (`Waiting for…`) and recorded `run.terminal` with
`runTerminalState=succeeded`. The Runner close then took about 8.6 s.
Its `runner.suspend` command ended `failed`, but the durable Runner
state was `suspended` with a matching identity. The close threw
`NativeSessionCloseUnrecoverableError`. The executor emitted
`native.post_result_failure` (`category: runner_settlement_incomplete`,
`resultAlreadyAccepted: true`) and rethrew `native_session_lease_lost`.
Its finalization lease stayed held (its TTL is 20 minutes).
`finalizeNativeRun` got `native_finalization_lease_busy`, and the run
ended `failed/adapter_failed`. No restart was in progress. Host load
average was about 40.

**Expected behavior**

After the control plane accepts a result, finalization bookkeeping must
not fail the run. The run settles from its accepted result. Repair of
the Runner checkpoint stays with the existing next-run admission rules.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run `pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/heartbeat/runtime-execution.test.ts -t "accepted local
result"` in `server/`. The test uses the real executor, the real
control-plane result commit, and embedded PostgreSQL. The provider
boundary accepts a result and then throws
`NativeSessionCloseUnrecoverableError`. On the base revision, the
finalization row keeps the executor lease (`phase:
workspace_finalizing`) and the finalizer reports `lease_busy`.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Base `ff1d1dea5d`. The incident was on `819420a60a`.

## What Changed

- `native-session-executor.ts`: after the rejected failure write proves
an accepted result under the exact, unexpired lease, the executor
releases that lease to finalization. It uses the same exact-authority
predicates as the normal release. Before, the lease stayed held until
its TTL expired.
- `runtime-execution.ts`: for `runner_settlement_incomplete` on a local
workspace (no workspace sync and no remote workspace authority),
Paperclip records `workspace_finalize` as succeeded, finalizes the
accepted result, and returns it to the ordinary completion path.
- New `native-accepted-result-settlement.ts`: rebuilds the adapter
result from the durable accepted result row, its terminal, the run's
native session, and the accepted usage checkpoint. The result carries
the closed `nativePostResultFailure` diagnostic. It contains no provider
text.
- Other post-result categories (for example `io_not_found`) keep their
workspace-failure handling. They now also reach finalization at once,
instead of after the lease TTL.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: describes the settlement.

## Verification

- Red, then green: `settles an accepted local result when runner close
cannot prove suspension` and `keeps workspace failure handling for other
accepted-result failures on a local workspace` in
`server/src/services/heartbeat/runtime-execution.test.ts`. Both failed
on the base revision with the executor lease still held. Both pass with
this change.
- Safety case `settles an accepted local result ...
(workspace-check-failed)`: when the `workspace_finalize` check fails,
the run keeps the existing failure path. Case `terminal-unreadable`:
when the accepted result cannot be rebuilt, only a failed
`workspace_finalize` record is written.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/heartbeat/runtime-execution.test.ts`: all pass (some cases
time out at 30 s only under host load above 40; they pass on a narrow
rerun). This includes the 14 existing post-result diagnostic and
authority cases (expired, replaced owner, generation, attempt, boot,
pid, process start, stopped, lock busy, and others).
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`: pass.
- Live cell
`local-session-integrity.runner-acpx-claude.local.structured-question-restart-resume`
(real ACPX Claude, local runner): 3 runs at host load average about 40.
Runs 1 and 2 passed. Run 3 hit the fault naturally: the first run
emitted `native.post_result_failure` (`runner_settlement_incomplete`)
and now ended `run succeeded` (before this change it ended
`failed/adapter_failed`). The cell then failed later, in the resume run
after the answer: `runner_state_identity_mismatch:
prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate;
retirement_refused=target_not_sandbox_runner`. That is a separate
follow-up (see Risks).

## Risks

- A changed lease handoff. The executor releases the lease only after
the rejected failure write proves an accepted result under the exact
owner, attempt, controller generation, controller identity, and an
unexpired lease. A stale or replaced owner does not release anything. A
failed release is bounded and best effort. The old behavior then
applies.
- The run now completes as `succeeded` while the local Runner checkpoint
is not proven suspended. The next run on the same session then meets the
existing fence: the continuity-break retirement
(`retireFinishedPerTurnRunnerdOwner`) accepts only sandbox Runners, so a
local Runner is refused with `target_not_sandbox_runner` and its state
root is quarantined. This PR does not change that fence. Extending the
retirement to local Runners needs its own proof that the local Runner
process stopped, and is a follow-up.
- Settlement happens only when the accepted result and its terminal are
rebuilt first, and the `workspace_finalize` record then succeeds. A
failed branch or plugin workspace check keeps the failure path.
- Synced and remote workspaces are not changed. They keep their
copy-back retry path.

## Model Used

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

Refs: #19462

**What happened?**

A restart can leave an old listener startup failure in
`terminal_failure` with `native_session_interrupted`. Startup recovery
does not claim it after #19462. A completed file recovery can also
retain its no-replay hold.

**Expected behavior**

Continue automatically when durable records prove that no provider
started, the source stopped, and the current files were saved. Keep the
existing attempt budget and normal admission checks.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Close the actual API listener after a fresh native coordinator claim.
2. Persist the old executor's generic failure. Save the workspace and
confirm source termination.
3. Restart recovery. The baseline schedules no successor. The repair
schedules one successor after all receipts pass.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Baseline: `0252421d5c`. Old failure producer: `2f35eb1080`.

**Deployment mode**

Built from source. Local macOS arm64, Node 26.4.0, real embedded
PostgreSQL, independent filesystem execution. No external AI service is
used by the controlled acceptance.

## What Changed

- Recognize the exact saved local-listener guard through one proof
predicate shared by discovery and the locked transaction.
- Require a fresh first attempt, matching execution bindings, no prior
provider lineage, no provider events or tool calls, no checkpoint or
admission receipt, and no cancellation.
- Reuse current snapshot, exact stop, source block, attempt budget, and
successor idempotency checks.
- Wait for completed source file-recovery receipts. Retire only that
same source's verified preservation hold in the successor transaction.
- Bound discovery to 100 candidates per pass, keep completed history
quiet, and wake through existing transactional producer notifications.
- Retain retries after transient database and final ownership-proof
errors; advance the bounded cursor and force a rescan so a failing page
cannot hide later work.
- Let only the replacement duty discharge a proved-empty notification
during drain through its existing read-only readiness check, once per
notification generation. Keep real work and concurrent changes
outstanding without running replacement during drain.
- Wake replacement at canonical local-stop proof writes and the existing
dispatch eligibility boundary; these hints grant no new execution
authority.
- Add database regressions, scheduler quietness checks, real controller
handoff coverage, and an opt-in controlled Runner continuation.

## Verification

Final production head: `0df41b2fef2644195d1224d36984af3827da3e3b`.

Local environment: macOS arm64, Node 26.4.0, TypeScript 7.0.2, Vitest
5.0.3, frozen-lockfile dependencies. Tests execute freshly;
`--fsModuleCache` reuses only content-validated module transforms.

- Native safe replacement: 62/62 PASS on isolated PostgreSQL 17 (63.18
seconds), including clean per-suite database disposal. All 62 assertions
also passed on embedded PostgreSQL 18 beta, but its Darwin cleanup hook
timed out; that invocation is not counted as a pass. Docker's disk was
full, so the disposable PostgreSQL 17 data used a size-limited RAM
mount, with no host mounts. The owned container was removed afterward.
- Actual stopped-process producer suite: 31/31 PASS. A real exited child
produces the stop receipt, and its replacement notification settles only
after the outer transaction commits.
- Workspace and separate-process drain regressions: 33/33 PASS (75.90
seconds).
- Shared coordinator and execution-control lifecycle checks: 39/39 PASS
(16.43 seconds). Pending work, concurrent changes, cold startup,
shutdown, and passive drain boundaries remain covered.
- Actual suppressed Cloud routine/drain workflow: PASS (34.64 seconds),
using the unchanged test and timeouts. Its matching local RED reproduced
CI's 462-query, zero-pending-query, one-idle-hold timeout after an
admitted write committed during drain (69.46 seconds).
- Actual historical controller handoff: PASS (48.40 seconds). A separate
controller loads the original executor from `2f35eb1080`, writes its
generic listener failure, and exits. Recovery at the final head admits
exactly one successor. The real Rust Runner and controlled Codex process
complete governed `paperclip_finish`; attempt two commits and the saved
file remains intact. Only the child loads the old artifact, and both
isolated artifacts are restored afterward. Rust source subtree
`77961b70f177ec3c38d11abcaec92fd3d0e96ec0` matches the built binary. No
external AI service is used.
- Seven corrected existing fixtures pass: transactional stop-proof calls
(5 cases) and notification inventory (2 cases). Their earlier CI
failures exposed fixture calls outside the documented transaction and an
outdated expected queue set.
- Server typecheck: PASS.

Red/green proofs also cover the original saved failure on baseline
`0252421d5c` (zero successors instead of one), held-history quietness,
bounded forward scanning through 100 parked rows and concurrent wakes,
real snapshot/cleanup producer notifications, actual issue-row lock
timeout, and task/history eligibility notifications. An obsolete
prior-run question can be skipped to request another proof check; actual
skip while the task is paused or the source owns provider tool activity
schedules no successor.

The failed-page regression starts with 25 persistent verifier errors and
a healthy candidate 26. Baseline RED repeats the first page. Repair
GREEN advances the healthy candidate, revisits the original failures
after their fault clears, creates all 26 successors exactly once, and
becomes quiet.

Greptile is SUCCESS, 5/5 on the exact final head (2026-11-06 17:09:21
UTC). Final-head CI is GREEN: 56 successful checks, three intentional
skips, one neutral result, and no pending or failing checks. [Attempt
two and
results](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42258352876/attempts/2)
include passing build, typecheck, Rust, native server, package, browser
E2E, serialized server, general server/chat tests, and final
verification. Five jobs in the first attempt were interrupted together
at 17:13:12 UTC; the native-server log records an explicit runner
shutdown signal. The single infrastructure retry reran only those five
jobs and dependent verification, preserving the 49 successful checks on
the unchanged head. No timeout was weakened, and setup failures or
interrupted invocations are not counted as passes.

Focused commands from the repository root:

```sh
./server/node_modules/.bin/vitest run --project @paperclipai/server server/src/services/remote-workspaces.integration.test.ts server/src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-restart-preparation.integration.test.ts -t 'native safe-replacement decision|reconciles the drained remote backend' --fsModuleCache --reporter=dot
./server/node_modules/.bin/vitest run --project @paperclipai/server server/src/__tests__/execution-control-work.test.ts server/src/__tests__/delivery-work-coordinator.test.ts -t 'execution-control lifecycle|work coordinator' --fsModuleCache --reporter=dot
node node_modules/typescript/bin/tsc -p server/tsconfig.json --noEmit --pretty false
```

The historical acceptance sets `PAPERCLIP_TEST_HISTORICAL_LISTENER=1`
and uses an original-executor child artifact with a `try/finally`
restore. Normal regressions require no Rust binary.

## Risks

- Compatibility is deliberately limited to positively proved fresh
remote startup failures. Other old ambiguous failures remain held.
- Existing provider work, a changed task block, incomplete preservation,
or revoked authority must prevent execution. Normal retry admission
remains in control.
- This PR does not deploy the change or mutate a hosted task. Hosted
recovery still requires the repaired revision and all current proof
gates.

## Model Used

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 a0cba70f18 fix(runner): continue restart-interrupted ACPX and OpenCode turns (#19501)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs keep their provider conversation when the control plane
restarts
> - A local Codex turn lost in a restart already continues once in the
same conversation (#15297)
> - ACPX (Claude and the other ACPX profiles) and OpenCode took a
different path: the runner closed the lost turn as a provider failure
> - The task then blocked with "Provider turn failed", and the user's
queued follow-up stayed unread
> - A restart must not need a user action when continuing is safe
> - This pull request gives ACPX and OpenCode the same recoverable
restart-loss cause and the same single continuation as Codex
> - The benefit is that work interrupted by a controller restart
finishes on its own

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #15297 (Codex continuation), #19399 (restart-interrupted turn
hook), #19471 (harness fix used for the live reruns).

**What happened?**

After a control-plane restart during an active native ACPX Claude turn,
the task ended `blocked` with `native_provider_terminal_failed: Provider
turn failed`. The queued follow-up comment was not consumed. No
continuation started. The next run then failed with
`native_session_cleanup_quarantined`. A native OpenCode run killed
mid-turn ended the same way (`turn.failed` with `error: null`).

**Expected behavior**

When the old provider process is gone and the conversation can be
restored, continue the task once in the same conversation. When that is
not safe, record an honest restart cause instead of a generic provider
failure.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a native ACPX Claude task on a local runner.
2. Submit a follow-up comment while the turn is active.
3. Restart the control plane while the turn is still running.
4. Run `pnpm test:e2e:runner -- --max-automatic-retries 0 --id
everyday-workflows.runner-acpx-claude.local.recover-controller`.

**Root cause**

- `runner-core/src/acpx_provider_backend.rs`
`restore_session_if_needed`: a saved `turn_active` state always closed
the session. It recorded `turn.failed` with only a top-level `code:
acpx_active_turn_recovery_closed` and no `error` object. It also emitted
`run.terminal`.
- The runnerd transport forwards only `error`, so the controller saw
`error: null` and reported generic `provider_turn_failed`.
- `runner-core/src/provider_backend.rs` gave the recoverable
`provider_turn_lost_on_restore` cause only to `provider_label ==
"codex"`. OpenCode shares that backend.
- `nativeRestartInterruptedTurnId` accepted only `codex_app_server`. The
runtime continuation gate accepted only `provider.kind === "codex"`.
- Two follow-on defects appeared once the continuation ran live:
- The restored ACPX provider rejected the controller's result for the
lost turn's open semantic call. That call never settled.
- The restored provider's MCP request ids restart. The controller keys
semantic calls by `hash(runId, callId)`. The continuation's first
Paperclip tool call reused an earlier id, was treated as already
answered, and hung. After the result was accepted,
`runner_settlement_incomplete` failed the run.

## What Changed

- ACPX runner: for an active turn lost to a runner restart, prove that
the original provider lifetime lost its fence quorum. Then restore the
same conversation and record `turn.failed` with `error: { code:
"provider_turn_lost_on_restore", recoverable: true }`. Keep the run open
for the controller's continuation. An accepted result, an unanswered
runtime request, or an active goal keeps the old close behavior. So do
an unproven lifetime fence and a failed restore.
- ACPX runner fallback close: add a structured `error`
(`acpx_active_turn_recovery_closed`, not recoverable, with an honest
restart message), so the cause survives the transport.
- ACPX runner: track open semantic calls durably. On restore, retire the
lost turn's open calls. Acknowledge their controller results as
`retired` and do not send them to the new provider.
- ACPX sidecar: when the sidecar restores an existing session, prefix
forwarded semantic `callId`s with a per-process namespace
(`r<hex>:<id>`). Fresh sessions keep raw ids.
- OpenCode runner: give OpenCode the same recoverable cause and open run
as Codex (`restart_lost_turn_is_continuable`). Cursor Cloud stays
excluded because its agent runs remotely.
- Runner TS: `nativeRestartInterruptedTurnId` accepts `acpx_runtime` and
`opencode_server`. The runtime continuation gate accepts `acpx` and
`opencode`. All other Codex safety rules are unchanged: one
continuation, admitted dead-runner restart only, no compaction, goal,
semantic result, or pending runtime request.
- Docs: `doc/execution-semantics.md` and `doc/run-log-events.md`.

## Verification

Red, then green, at each layer:

- Rust `tests/acpx_warm_attachment.rs`
`restores_the_conversation_after_losing_an_active_turn_to_a_runner_restart`.
Red: status `closed`. Then red on the lost call's result: "tool result
does not match a pending provider call". Green after the fix.
- Rust `tests/native_provider_backend.rs`
`restart_lost_opencode_turn_records_a_recoverable_cause`, with the
qualified OpenCode launch fixture. Red: `error` was `null`. Green after
the fix.
- Rust unit test
`restart_lost_turns_continue_only_for_locally_restored_providers`
(Codex, OpenCode yes; Cursor Cloud no).
- TS `native-session-runtime.test.ts` "continues a restart-lost
acpx_runtime / opencode_server turn once". Red:
`NativeProviderTerminalFailure provider_turn_lost_on_restore`. Green:
exactly one continuation, which does not resend the task.
- TS `acpx-runtime-sidecar.test.ts`: a restored provider's call ids are
namespaced and resolve.
- Server `native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts`: a
checkpointed `acpx_runtime` or `opencode_server` restart interruption is
claimed as `resume_dead_runner`. Red without the driver gate. Green with
it.
- Two `native_provider_backend.rs` tests asserted the old
close-on-restore result. They now assert the new contract. Their real
invariant still holds: the delivered response is never replayed.

Suites run locally on the final revision:

- runner-core: `cargo test --no-fail-fast acpx`, `--test
native_provider_backend` (38), `--test acpx_warm_attachment`, `--test
codex_provider restart_lost`
- runner TS: `native-session-runtime`, `runnerd-restart-continuation`,
Codex driver recovery, contracts, and `acpx-runtime-sidecar` (all pass)
- server: `native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts` (80
passed)
- `pnpm --filter "@paperclipai/paperclip-runner..." build` (all
generated-contract checks pass)

Live runner E2E (local, real Claude via ACPX, macOS arm64):

- `everyday-workflows.runner-acpx-claude.local.recover-controller`: PASS
twice in a row on the final runner code. The restart crossed an active
turn. The task finished `done`, the queued follow-up was consumed, the
ZIP download was verified, and there were no failure codes.
- `stock-harness.runner-acpx-claude.local.continuity-restart`
regression: PASS.
- Earlier failing reruns are kept as evidence of the follow-on defects:
one harness `kill EPERM` while stopping the server (unrelated to this
change), one hang on the colliding call id, and one
`runner_settlement_incomplete`.

## Risks

- A continuation can run more work in the restored conversation. Its
prompt requires inspecting state before repeating an uncertain action,
as for Codex.
- The ACPX restore waits up to 5 s for the original provider lifetime
fence before it falls back to the old close.
- The ACPX provider state file gains two fields with defaults. Older
saved states still load. A downgraded runner cannot read state that a
newer runner wrote with these fields.
- Restored ACPX sessions now forward prefixed call ids. Only fresh
sessions keep raw ids. Live proof covers Claude. Codex-ACP, Pi, Cursor,
Copilot, Grok, Kimi, and Antigravity share this path, but this PR proves
them only by unit tests and code review.
- OpenCode is covered by the runner fixture and gate tests. The live
OpenCode restart-chaos cell was not rerun here.
- `runner-core`
`unconfirmed_suspension_state_becomes_recoverable_only_after_cleanup_and_suspend`
is flaky when run in parallel. It also fails with the new path disabled,
so it predates this change.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip c6573962f8 fix(workspaces): recover full sandboxes through read-only export (#19465)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip preserves agent work across failed runs and server
restarts.
> - A remote workspace must have a durable save before its source can be
released.
> - Portable capture normally writes a Git mirror and a full archive
inside the sandbox.
> - A full sandbox can prevent capture before the provider's streaming
download starts.
> - Retrying that write cannot create the required free space.
> - This change transfers a checked standalone source and seals its
archive on the controller.
> - The source remains retained unless the existing durable save
completes.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #18644 reduced temporary capture space. #18172 added the
provider's disk-free directory transfer. This repair connects portable
capture to that transfer when the archive itself cannot be created.

**What happened?**

Workspace capture returns `remote_workspace_sandbox_disk_full` after
provider work has finished. File recovery repeats the same sandbox
write.

**Expected behavior**

Recover a stable standalone workspace without requiring another full
archive on the source disk. Preserve staged changes, untracked work,
confined links and the original source.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a standalone Git repository with a commit, staged changes and
an untracked result.
2. Use the existing real-command transport fixture. Inject ENOSPC into
the sandbox helper write or archive write.
3. Run portable capture. Before this change it rejects the helper
failure.
4. With the change, restore the saved archive after removing the fixture
source. Check the commit, staged content, untracked result and Git
connectivity.

## What Changed

- Attempt one controller-side capture after an exact sandbox disk-full
failure.
- Read a source inventory without installing a helper. Use the existing
provider bulk transfer with confined links and runtime exclusions.
- Compare the transferred inventory with source fingerprints before and
after sealing.
- Reject copied Git pointers, alternates and administrative symlinks.
Parse config as data without includes; allow only portable keys before
controller Git normalization.
- Preserve socket exclusions. Retain the source and remove incomplete
controller staging after failure.
- Update execution semantics and focused regression coverage. No
database migration or new execution authority.

## Verification

- TDD red on base `2f35eb1080`: the new full-sandbox test failed with
`remote_workspace_sandbox_disk_full` before production edits.
- Green: 202 transport and archive tests passed before the additional
Git configuration guards. At head `8541086cb5`, all 116 transport tests
and the PostgreSQL durability acceptance pass. The final `e24e173ec9`
exclusion guard passes those 116 cases plus its new Git-history
regression across the full run and focused rerun. Environment: macOS
arm64, Node 26.4.0; real Node/Git commands and filesystem transfer.
- Review regressions were also red before their fixes: an internal Git
config symlink bypassed the check, and `core.attributesFile` could
select a controller path. Git administrative symlinks and nonportable
config now fail before normalization. The focused safety selection
passes 11 cases.
- Cases cover helper and archive ENOSPC, commit/staged/untracked
continuity after source removal, confined links, sockets, changed
source, corrupt or extra copied files, unsafe Git metadata, retained
diagnostic text and failed download.
- Real PostgreSQL acceptance passes: normal workspace save recovers one
sandbox ENOSPC, commits the encrypted snapshot, clears its writer, loses
the original allocation, then independently reloads the saved result
twice. The first acceptance attempt used an incorrect expected status
(`available`); the documented state is `committed`. No production change
was needed for that correction.
- Review regressions for untracked Python/Node environments and
excessive Git roots failed before their fixes. Dependency exclusions now
match normal capture. Controller parsing starts only after
whole-tree/repository budgets and layout checks; refspec/settings
budgets and a shared two-minute verification/normalization deadline
bound further work. The excessive-root test verifies zero Git
subprocesses.
- Real provider-boundary red/green: Daytona direct tar and
capacity-fallback PTY transfers first dropped `._result.txt`. The new
optional mapping contract preserves all user names and excludes only
current transfer scratch. Kubernetes implements the same contract.
Explicit caller exclusions and archive validation remain in force.
- Standalone Linux qualification on Node 24.22.2/Debian bookworm: fresh
shared/SDK build; Daytona and Kubernetes typecheck and build; Daytona
file-sync/capacity/diagnostics 68/68 pass; Kubernetes file-sync 31/31
pass, including the actual `/proc` case. Qualification was refreshed
again on the final `be6f7feacc` source tree: current shared/SDK rebuilt;
all 815 staged source/config/manifest hashes match the delivered tree
before and after testing. An initial container run as root bypassed a
read-only file test; the same source passes as uid 1000. Installing zstd
enabled eight initially skipped cases.
- A further review regression proved `.git/pyvenv.cfg` could exclude Git
history as a dependency. The inventory now handles `.git` before
dependency filtering, matching normal capture. The full capture/restore
test verifies the original commit and saved work. The first green
attempt incorrectly compared command-result object identity; correcting
the test to compare stdout passed with no production change.
- Further red/green regressions cover read-only private-copy cleanup, a
regular file replaced by a FIFO before open, case aliases of Git
administrative metadata, and permission preservation under restrictive
umask. Nonblocking no-follow file handles verify identity before and
after reading. Cleanup changes only private controller directories.
Provider extraction preserves ordinary permissions, refuses special mode
bits before writing, and does not adopt source ownership, ACLs,
attributes or flags. Final macOS Daytona tests pass 65/65; the final
Linux qualification above was repeated on these exact provider sources.
- Focused strict TypeScript compilation of the inventory and archive
modules passes.
- The first sandboxed archive run failed three Unix socket fixtures with
EPERM. The permitted run outside that filesystem sandbox passed all
tests.
- Initial full local server typecheck could not resolve the unbuilt
Runner package and produced cascading errors. Exact-head `e24e173ec9` CI
typecheck, build, Runner and browser checks pass. That CI attempt failed
two server shards: the unchanged retained-cleanup backlog test timed out
at 15 seconds and passes locally unchanged; ten cache-reclaim fixture
oracles failed because directory fallback consumed their sealed-archive
counters/faults. Final commit `caed4e4f83` isolates the intended
unavailable-directory boundary while preserving archive counts, recovery
status, integrity and no-second-reclamation assertions. Those ten
failures reproduced locally before the fixture edit. The full affected
file passes 394/395; its sole other HTTP socket-hang-up case passes
unchanged in an isolated rerun. This is combined coverage of all 395
cases, not a single complete green run. The final branch integrates
master `53645a0104` at `98ea07225592930cbb0d18bcf250bc64f6bb13b4`,
preserving upstream workspace phase timings. After integration: 117
transport cases, the PostgreSQL durability acceptance, the existing
object-storage/timing regression, and 12 affected cache cases pass. The
expanded recovery file now has 421 cases. Final-head
`be6f7feacc45c1e32a26a2417e973f1e3752fd8d` CI passes all 55 applicable
checks (three skipped, one neutral review), including the expanded
recovery suite, typecheck, builds and Runner coverage. [CI
result](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42251345554).
- Provider exclusion regressions were red through four real Linux
transfer paths: Daytona direct archive, direct safe-link repair,
capacity PTY repair, and Kubernetes streaming. A root socket and nested
regular file share a basename; literal glob-character files/subtrees
also survive. Preserve mode now anchors tar exclusions as literal
root-relative paths and escapes `find -path` pruning. Default callers
keep glob semantics. Receipt-count regressions were also red before
correcting preserved-output counting. All 31 Kubernetes and 68 Daytona
tests, builds and typechecks pass on the final source with 815 matching
inputs.
- The final semantics documentation explicitly records special mode
bits, the stricter config allowlist (including innocuous unlisted keys),
and provider qualification limited to Daytona/Kubernetes; these address
the optional current-head review observations without broadening
controller Git authority.
- No Daytona credential is available in this session. Provider transfer
is a local filesystem boundary in these tests. Hosted task recovery and
rollout remain unverified.

## Risks

- Recovery reads the source repeatedly and transfers the standalone
tree. It can take longer than normal capture.
- Linked worktrees, initialized submodules, Git administrative symlinks,
nonportable Git configuration, special mode bits and alternate object
stores remain retained if the normal capture cannot finish. This
fallback does not follow their pointers onto the controller.
- A provider without usable directory export, a changed source, or
insufficient controller space cannot produce a receipt. The original
source stays retained.
- The server, SDK and affected provider plugins must be built from this
revision together. An older provider can fail inventory verification on
names it omits; it cannot publish an incomplete save. No merge,
publication or deployment is included.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 family through Codex, with reasoning, code editing, shell
tools and automated tests. The exact serving model ID and context window
are not exposed in this session.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A failed native remote writer had an accepted result and exhausted
copy-back retries. Its sandbox was stopped with a valid retained-source
receipt. A newer attempt failed on the writer's unsaved workspace. Task
Retry could not register the missing file-recovery obligation because
preservation returned as soon as it found the old accepted result.

**Expected behavior**

Task Retry must let the existing recovery owner save the exact retained
files. The accepted result, failed attempts and current task must stay
intact. The old provider work must not run again.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Finish native work in a remote task workspace and accept its
completion result.
2. Exhaust copy-back retries, stop and retain that exact sandbox, and
leave the workspace dirty.
3. Let a newer setup attempt fail on the old writer's hold.
4. Use ordinary task Retry. Before this fix, the missing file obligation
is never recorded.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced against master at `51a65af9b81f3c60f8210047e9a3eeaada7bc155`
with isolated PostgreSQL and real files.

Related: #19385 preserves accepted copy-back interrupted by Stop. #19422
admits saved input after verified recovery. #19464 and #19466 repair
preparation and Retry continuation. This change covers an older remote
writer whose accepted copy-back has exhausted its retries.

## What Changed

- Admit only terminal, exhausted accepted copy-back on a failed remote
writer with a finished run and no live controller or finalizer.
- Require the exact stop-and-retain receipt, accepted completion
contract and current dirty workspace binding. Keep native-sync sources
on their existing export path.
- Use the existing file-preservation recorder and worker. Add no new
recovery worker, schema, polling or replay path.
- Cover bound and orphaned entry points, reusable leases, changed proof
and the ordinary HTTP Retry journey. Document the recovery behavior.

## Verification

- Causal baseline: the corrected bound-writer and orphaned-lease tests
both fail without the source change and pass with it.
- Assembled acceptance: authenticated HTTP Retry records the old
writer's missing obligation; the real recovery service saves its files;
concurrent continuation calls queue exactly one successor for the newer
failed setup. PostgreSQL, filesystem, tar, Git and the API/service path
are real. Provider transport is controlled, and no model turn is
dispatched.
- `pnpm check:module-boundaries`, `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build` and
`git diff --check` pass.
- Four full affected recovery suites pass: **659 tests**. Command: `pnpm
--dir server exec vitest run --config vitest.config.ts
src/services/workspace-recovery.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-failed-workspace-recovery.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-cancelled-workspace-preservation.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-workspace-export-retry.test.ts`. This
includes the final 16 new regression, refusal and assembled journey
cases.
- `pnpm verify --explain` completed. It selected broad transitive
coverage; this is planning evidence only. Hosted CI will supply the
remaining broad coverage.
- Dependency cost: extra indexed source/result reads run only for this
exact terminal retained-result path, inside the existing bounded
transaction. Existing notifications activate the existing recovery
owner. No idle scan is added.
- Fixture failures are accounted for: the first fixture used an
active-only stop helper on a released lease. The corrected fixture
produced the causal baseline above. One negative fixture tried to remove
a contract while an accepted result referenced it and failed the
database foreign key. That impossible fixture was removed; the positive
journey passed in the same run. Neither fixture failure is reported as a
product regression or a passing full run.
- Hosted CI is fully green at the reviewed commit: 54 successful checks
and 3 intentional skips, with no incomplete or failed checks. Greptile
is 5/5 with no unresolved threads.
- Hosted rollout and a live task continuation remain pending. Local API
admission does not prove a deployed model run.

## Risks

This expands file preservation for a narrow terminal failure. Wrong
source identity could retain unrelated files; unchanged writer, epoch,
location, provider lease, stop receipt and accepted contract checks fail
closed. Active ownership, unsafe archives, rejected results and
native-sync sources stay on their existing paths. Existing recovery owns
physical source locking, copy verification and bounded retries. It
preserves unknown action outcomes and leaves the accepted result
uncommitted. There is no migration or configuration change.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, `gpt-6.1-sol`, xhigh reasoning effort. Context window size
is unavailable. Used repository tools, isolated tests and code
execution. No delegated agents.

51a65af9b8 fix(recovery): continue preserved preparation after process loss (#19464)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their execution state.
> - A server restart can stop workspace preparation before provider
execution.
> - Workspace recovery must preserve files before the task can continue.
> - Recovery handled interrupted preparations but skipped failed
process-loss records with the same no-provider certificate.
> - A withheld first retry could also hide the remaining retry budget.
> - This change resumes certified preparations through normal admission
after file recovery.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A process-loss attempt remained failed after workspace recovery
completed. Its first retry had been cancelled before dispatch by the
workspace hold. The task had no running attempt or automatic
continuation.

**Expected behavior**
Continue once after the server proves that provider work did not start,
file preservation completed, and the exact leases stopped. Retain the
existing failure budget and all task admission gates.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Stop a Runner preparation before native runtime selection. Record the
restart recovery bootstrap certificate.
2. Retain the workspace and withhold the first automatic retry before
dispatch.
3. Complete file preservation and restart the recovery worker.
4. Observe that the old code schedules no successor. The regression test
reproduces this with PostgreSQL and real filesystem operations.

**Paperclip version or commit**
Reproduced against master at `2f35eb1080`. Related prior work: #19422
continues saved user input after verified copy-back. This change handles
automatic continuation of certified process-loss preparation.

## What Changed

- Accept failed process-loss preparation only with the durable
no-provider bootstrap certificate and existing execution, lease and file
checks.
- Discover and settle the recovered source through the existing
preparation recovery path.
- Continue from a verified withheld retry without rewriting its history
or resetting its failure count. Adopt it only as the sole retry child;
multiple-child history reuses the newest existing child
deterministically.
- Exercise automatic dispatch, preserved-file readback, one provider
turn, accepted result and task completion in the local native-session
fixture.
- Keep a durable continuation receipt after file-hold settlement until a
successor is recorded. Known gates wait for existing eligibility events.
Unresolved delivery keeps its shared recovery deadline.
- Document the recovery and retry-budget rules.

## Verification

- Red: both new PostgreSQL/filesystem regressions failed with zero
scheduled successors where one was required.
- Green: 54 focused recovery, automatic-dispatch, interruption,
multiple-child history and admission safety cases pass on `13c27c2c2f`.
The full PostgreSQL admission adapter suite passes all 83 tests; server
source declaration typecheck also passes. Local environment: Darwin
arm64, Node 26.4.0, PostgreSQL 18.1, Vitest 5.0.3.
- Additional red/green: interruption after committed settlement,
pause/resume, failed enqueue after cursor advancement, and absence of an
earlier retry all failed before their repairs. Restart before enqueue,
restart after the successor claim, and pause/resume now preserve one
continuation. A rolled-back eligibility change cannot start execution.
Deferred and delivered records have no retry deadline.
- Local acceptance uses the real heartbeat dispatcher, isolated files
and PostgreSQL, with a simulated native provider. It reads the preserved
file, writes continued work, accepts the structured result and completes
the task once.
- Negative cases retain no-certificate, provider-evidence, live-owner,
Stop, missing-stop-receipt, wrong-snapshot, human-block, pause,
reassignment, approval and exhaustion fences.
- CI fixture regression: 4 error-propagation/concurrent-resolution cases
pass after adding the new obligation read to their transaction stubs;
existing assertions remain unchanged.
- Existing idle-drain and notification contract regressions: 4 tests
pass after restricting recovery wakes to actual durable obligations.
Late approvals block scheduled, queued and final dispatch.
- Additional existing retry-scheduling suite: 62 cases pass locally. The
pre-provider quota case exceeds its existing 5-second terminal wait on
this loaded Darwin host, including when tested alone and with the
preceding retry implementation. It remains a local timing limitation;
the assertion and timeout were not changed. All Linux CI server shards
pass on the combined head, including this unchanged suite.
- Existing run-control, legacy-recovery and shared execution-control
lifecycle suites: 128 tests pass with the review repair. Required CI
supplies final-revision broad coverage.
- Real-Codex acceptance was not run: automatic approval review rejected
authenticated provider execution because it could incur cost/external
effects and required explicit approval. No provider call ran; the
controlled-provider acceptance covers the causal restart and durable
scheduling behavior.
- Hosted acceptance and recovery of existing tasks require rollout. They
have not been claimed from the local provider fixture.
- Final-head review: Greptile 5/5 on `13c27c2c2f`, no outstanding
findings. Another contributor added the multiple-child history safety
repair in `13c27c2c2f` while CI was running. The delta was inspected and
the 54 focused recovery cases rerun successfully. Required CI passes on
that exact combined head:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42241794918. All
55 successful checks include aggregate `ci / verify`, typecheck, build,
canary, all server and E2E shards, and Runner package/Rust/static
checks. The separate Paperclip Review service check remains queued
waiting for its assigned agent; no validated assessment has been
returned.

## Risks

A malformed preparation certificate or a false no-execution receipt
could permit duplicate work. The existing checks still reject provider
execution records, native coordinators, live controllers, unsettled
leases and unverified files. The pending continuation must survive a
restart without polling known admission blockers. A withheld retry
retains its original row and consumes its remaining failure budget.
Normal admission checks current ownership, approvals, pause and budgets.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 family via Codex. The exact model ID and context window are
unavailable in session metadata. Used reasoning, code editing and tool
execution.

DottaandPaperclip 06c0566a08 fix: make task Retry work after a refused automatic attempt (#19466)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Task Retry stores a durable request before it starts a new run.
> - An automatic attempt can stop at the execution gate before a
provider starts.
> - That cancelled attempt becomes the source of the next Retry click.
> - Admission rejected that source, or chose an older run that did not
match the stored Retry authority.
> - This pull request verifies the refused attempt and keeps it as the
exact authority source.
> - The user can start one new turn after the older execution holds pass
their existing checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Retry can remain deferred when the latest run was cancelled with
`execution_reconciliation_required` before dispatch. An older failed
preparation has an execution recovery hold. The Retry receipt names the
cancelled child, but admission only accepts a failed preparation as an
extra source. It can also choose the older run as `previousRunId`, which
fails the exact source check at dispatch.

**Expected behavior**

Retry starts one new turn when the latest attempt has a verified
pre-dispatch refusal and every older execution hold is ready. Provider
activity, retained execution resources, missing receipts, or a live
earlier process keep the hold.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Seed a failed native preparation and its recovery hold.
2. Let a later automatic attempt be cancelled by the stale queued
execution gate before dispatch.
3. Click Retry against that latest cancelled attempt.
4. Before this change, continuation admission returns no receipt. After
this change, one successor starts with authority bound to the clicked
attempt.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `2f35eb1080`. Rebased onto `6cafcaf89b` for submission.

**Deployment mode**

Local source checkout with embedded PostgreSQL and the native Runner on
macOS arm64.

Refs #15383 and #16939. Those changes cover legacy conversation
cancellation and queue promotion. This change covers the exact source of
a task Retry receipt after a gate refused its automatic child.

## What Changed

- Reuse the existing database-backed pre-dispatch refusal proof when
admitting the exact Retry source.
- Keep the clicked source as `previousRunId`. Continue to check every
older execution hold.
- Add database regressions for safe refusal, unsafe evidence, concurrent
dispatch, and duplicate clicks.
- Add an opt-in acceptance test that drives the authenticated Retry
route through a real Codex turn and task finalization.
- Document the admission contract.

## Verification

- TDD: the new database regression returned `null` on the original code.
It passes with the repair.
- Final head `c43a84b1bf`: 487 tests pass across task Retry, explicit
native continuation, and execution continuation. Server TypeScript and
module boundary checks pass.
- Live acceptance: `PAPERCLIP_LIVE_REFUSED_RETRY=true
PAPERCLIP_RUNNER_BINARY=<current-source-runnerd> pnpm --dir server exec
vitest run --config vitest.config.ts
src/services/native-runtime/refused-task-retry.live.test.ts`.
- The real HTTP request returned 202 on the final rebased head
`c43a84b1bf`. Codex `gpt-6.1-sol` with high effort produced the
requested file. The task became done, both task locks cleared, and
finalization committed. A repeated click reused the same receipt and did
not create another run. The source file stayed unchanged.
- Server TypeScript check and module boundary check.
- `pnpm verify --explain` returned 2 because the execution contract doc
requires broad CI coverage. The required CI checks supply that coverage.

## Risks

This changes execution admission. The existing proof requires the stored
refusal receipt and no provider work or retained execution resources.
Earlier recovery holds, process stop checks, decisions, actor authority,
and task ownership still apply. No schema change or migration.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, tool use, and code
execution. The host does not expose an exact author model ID or context
window. The live acceptance provider was `gpt-6.1-sol` with high
reasoning effort.

DottaandPaperclip 4696ff4990 fix: reserve agent In Progress display for active runs (#19453)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Task status must tell operators whether an agent is working or
waiting.
> - A task can retain its in-progress lifecycle status after its run
stops.
> - The shared read projection only handled scheduled monitoring waits.
> - The UI also ignored other projected statuses for in-progress tasks.
> - This pull request requires an active task run for the In Progress
display.
> - Operators can see waits without changing execution or recovery
authority.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

An agent task still showed In Progress after its run ended with an
access failure and left a pending connection request. Stale execution
locks and saved lifecycle state could show the same false activity.

**Expected behavior**

An agent task shows In Progress only with a task-linked queued or
running run. Otherwise, it shows Blocked for recovery, In Review for a
pending response or review, Monitoring for a scheduled check, or Todo
for remaining work. Human ownership keeps its selected status.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create an agent-owned task with an in-progress lifecycle status.
2. End its run and retain a pending human request.
3. Read the task, its summary, and search results. Before this change,
they still show In Progress.

## What Changed

- Derive visible activity from company-scoped, task-linked runs in the
existing shared SQL projection.
- Project inactive tasks to existing waiting or todo states. Preserve
lifecycle status, locks, admission, and recovery.
- Make the shared UI resolver use the projection while preserving
explicit and optimistic status changes.
- Cover stopped runs, stale locks, human waits, company isolation,
monitoring, filters, counts, search, and UI labels.
- Document the presentation rule in the product and execution contracts.

## Verification

- Red before the server fix: 7 new regression cases failed because they
returned in_progress. The 10 existing cases passed.
- Green after the server fix: 20 cases passed in
issue-display-status.test.ts, using embedded Postgres and real task
APIs/search. Seven nearby active-question cases also passed.
- Review regression: dismissed requests, historical questions, and
returned review work each failed before the follow-up fix. All three now
pass using the existing active-interaction rule and pending review
state.
- Red before the UI fix: 4 label cases failed. Five additional safety
cases caught stale projections hiding explicit transitions.
- Green after the UI fix: 43 tests passed across
task-status-presentation, issue-filters, and issue-detail-subissues.
- pnpm -r typecheck passed. All UI token gates and synchronization
checks passed.
- pnpm build passed. Server typecheck and build passed again after the
review fixes.
- Full CI passed on 45c4ababc5, including
typecheck, build, general/serialized tests, Runner tests, and browser
checks. The final rollup has 55 successful checks, one neutral check,
and three configured skips.
- The local pnpm test:run command passed all 1,931 chat integration
tests. Its remaining duplicate full-suite run was stopped once full CI
passed on the same commit. This is not a claim that the complete local
command finished.
- Greptile reviewed the final commit at 5/5. Both prior findings have
regression coverage and all review threads are resolved.
- Live acceptance at commit 45c4ababc5: started a fresh isolated local
instance, created an inactive agent task, and saved a pending human
request. API reads changed from Todo to In Review. An initial readiness
probe ran before startup finished; the doctor then verified the exact
serving revision before acceptance. Chrome showed In Review in the task
header, breadcrumb, and sidebar. Stored lifecycle status remained
in_progress. The instance was stopped after verification.
- The reported stopped state was inspected in the live UI. The fix is
not deployed there. Local API tests reproduce the failure shape without
replaying the real deployment task.

## Risks

- This changes visible status and display-status filter membership for
inactive agent tasks. Stored lifecycle filters keep their existing
meaning.
- The projection uses existing indexes on task runs, recovery actions,
and interactions. It adds no worker, timer, schema change, or execution
action.
- A queued run counts as active admission. Human-owned tasks retain
explicit ownership status.

## Model Used

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 8c578668b8 fix(heartbeat): start new queued runs promptly after restart and name the wait (#19431)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The heartbeat queue starts queued agent turns. Restarts and deploys
happen often.
> - After a restart, new queued turns waited minutes before they
started. The task showed only "Queued", with no reason.
> - The cause is startup order. The queued-run dispatch worker registers
only after many unrelated first passes finish one after another: tool
reviews, delivery workers, the terminal workspace sweep, native restart
recovery, and residual and issue recovery.
> - The server binds its listener before this recovery, and
`/api/health` answers during it. A deployment can route traffic to the
new server for minutes before queued work starts.
> - This pull request starts queued turns that never executed as soon as
plugin workers and adapters are loaded. It also names the wait while the
server starts, recovers, or shuts down.
> - The benefit is that tasks resume quickly after a restart and show a
visible reason while they wait.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
On a hosted instance, the server restarted twice for deploys. Both
times, queued runs on idle agents started about 3.5 to 4 minutes after
the restart. Before the restart, the runs also waited about 5 minutes
while the deploy drained the old server. During the wait after the
restart, the execution presentation showed `phase: queued`, `label:
"Queued"`, `cause: null`.

**Expected behavior**
Queued work resumes automatically and quickly after a restart. While it
waits, the task shows a reason.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a task drain (`POST /api/instance/task-drain`). Assign issues
to idle agents. The runs stay queued.
2. Stop the server (SIGTERM) and start it again.
3. Make any startup first pass slow (a large instance does this
naturally). Queued runs start only after every earlier startup pass
finishes.

**Paperclip version or commit**
master at 7e3caa7bac.

**Deployment mode**
Hosted Railway deployment with fleet deploy drain. Reproduced locally
with embedded PostgreSQL and an injected 20-second startup step.

## What Changed

- `heartbeat/queue.ts`: add `resumeFreshQueuedRunsAtStartup`. It starts
queued runs on agents with no run left `running` and no queued retry or
continuation (`started_at`, `retry_of_run_id`,
`process_loss_retry_count`, `continuation_attempt`). Every run still
passes the ordinary per-agent claim and dispatch gates, and scheduling
suppression (including the task drain) still applies.
- `heartbeat.ts`: expose it. Count it as a pending wake, like
`resumeQueuedRunsAfterDrain`, so drain status and upgrade readiness see
it.
- `index.ts`: run that pass at startup after plugin workers and external
adapters load. It does not wait for the unrelated startup first passes.
It skips while a drain, warm standby, or shutdown is active. Log when it
completes and when the full queued-run pass completes, with process
uptime, so a hosted restart shows both timings.
- `execution-projection.ts`: while the server is `starting`,
`recovering`, or `draining` (shutdown), a queued run shows **Waiting for
server restart** (cause `server_restarting`) with a next action. A task
drain keeps its **Waiting for maintenance** reason.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: describe the startup fast path and the
new presentation.
- The full queued-run pass, its position after native restart recovery,
and the drain behavior are unchanged.

## Verification

- Red, then green, local restart with a 20-second injected startup step
(embedded PostgreSQL, three process agents, runs queued under a task
drain, SIGTERM, restart):
- Before: the listener bound at 09:41:50.6. Runs started at 09:42:10.8,
20.2 s later, after the slow step ended.
- After: runs started 0.2 to 0.3 s after the listener bound, while the
slow step still ran. Each original run executed once.
- During the before run, `GET /api/issues/:id/execution` showed `Waiting
for server restart` / `server_restarting` until dispatch.
- Red, then green: `execution-projection.test.ts` restart-phase cases
failed on the old code (`label: "Queued"`, `cause: null`) and pass now.
- New `heartbeat-startup-fresh-dispatch.test.ts` (real PostgreSQL): a
fresh run starts; an agent with a `running` row from the previous
process and an agent with a queued retry stay queued; nothing starts
while a task drain is active.
- `npx vitest run` for the new test, `heartbeat-task-drain*.test.ts`,
`execution-projection*.test.ts`, `startup-recovery-timing.test.ts`,
`heartbeat/queue.test.ts`, `liveness.test.ts`: 132 passed.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json` passed.

## Risks

- New queued runs can start before native restart recovery finishes. The
fast path excludes any agent with a `running` row or a queued retry or
continuation, and the claim checks still enforce issue ownership,
predecessor cleanup, budgets, pauses, and concurrency. A new wakeup
during startup already starts runs at this point, so this adds no new
class of early execution.
- The drain is unchanged. It still holds new runs while the deploy waits
for in-flight runs (the Cloud wait budget is at most 5 minutes). This PR
does not change Cloud.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 140fcf98ed fix(retry): name a declined task Retry and let a new click replace it (#19426)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A task interrupted by a restart or deploy must resume automatically,
or offer a Retry that works on first use
> - A board Retry saves an intent first. Dispatch then rechecks the
requester's authority and saved source before it starts a run
> - When that recheck refused the intent, dispatch returned a bare
"deferred". The intent stayed saved with no reason, and the task still
showed Retry
> - Each later click with a new key joined that same intent, so Retry
returned 202 and never started a run
> - This pull request names the refusal on the intent and lets a new
click replace an intent that can never start
> - The benefit is that a Retry button that is shown starts one run, or
explains why it cannot

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A native task in a managed sandbox lost its runner twice. Saved-work
recovery recovered the files. The task showed "Saved work recovered.
Retry or send a message to continue." and `canRetry: true`. A Retry
click returned 202 and logged `issue.retry_requested`, but no run
started. A second click with a new idempotency key returned the same
request ID and `state: failed`. No run started.

**Expected behavior**
If Retry is offered, a click starts exactly one run. If the Retry cannot
start, the task names the reason, and a later click is a fresh attempt.
A Retry accepted during the pre-deploy drain starts after the restart.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Recover the files of a failed native run so the hold offers Retry.
2. Save a Retry intent whose dispatch-time authority recheck fails (for
example, the requester lost access).
3. Dispatch it: no run starts, and the intent has no wait reason.
4. Click Retry again with a new key: the response returns the first
request ID, and no run starts.

**Paperclip version or commit**
Reproduced on `b400914345` (staging served `4d49a31286`; the affected
code is the same).

Related: #19399 (automatic Retry after a lost runner), #19422.

## What Changed

- `heartbeat/queue.ts`: when dispatch declines a task Retry because the
requester can no longer change the task, or its saved board message
changed, record a named wait (`retry_authority_denied`,
`retry_source_changed`) and log it. Before, it returned "deferred" with
no record.
- `task-retry.ts`: a new click with a new key replaces an unadmitted
intent that dispatch declined for its requester's access
(`retry_authority_denied`). The old intent becomes `skipped` /
`task_retry_replaced`, and activity records `replacedRequestId`. Waits
on shared state (cleanup, recovery, an active run, preservation) still
coalesce. The restart hook never replaces a user's click. Chat-owned
intents keep their own owner.
- `task-interruption-presentation.ts`: fixed public messages for the two
new wait reasons. `retry_authority_denied` keeps Retry, because a new
click is a fresh attempt. `retry_source_changed` is terminal: an edited
saved message cannot be replayed, so Retry is hidden and the user sends
a new message.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: document the rule.

## Verification

- New regressions in `server/src/services/workspace-recovery.test.ts`
use the real recovery, Retry and dispatch services on embedded Postgres.
The fixture runs the automatic Retry from a lost runner, then that
Retry's own run loses its runner, and recovery saves its files:
- `starts exactly one run when Retry is pressed after the automatic
Retry's own run lost its runner` (also checks that a replayed dispatch
and a second click start no second run).
- `does not let a Retry that could not start swallow a later Retry`: red
before the fix in two steps. With no fix, the declined intent has no
wait reason. With only the wait fix, the second click returned the first
request ID. Green after the fix: one run, bound to the second click.
- `dispatches a Retry accepted during the pre-deploy drain once the
restarted server resumes`: green before and after. The drain does not
lose a saved Retry.
- `npx vitest run src/services/workspace-recovery.test.ts
src/services/task-retry.test.ts
src/services/task-interruption-presentation.test.ts
src/services/quarantined-task-retry.test.ts
src/services/explicit-native-continuation.test.ts`: 892 passed.
- Not verified on staging. After deploy, an intent that dispatch refuses
shows a named `retryWait` reason.

## Risks

- Low risk. Only intents that dispatch declined for their requester's
access are replaced. All other coalescing stays.
- A replaced intent's late dispatch finds it `skipped` and starts
nothing, so a double click still starts at most one run.
- The exact gate that held the staging intent is not confirmed from
records. If it was a shared-state wait, the new code names it only if it
is one of the two reasons above.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 7e3caa7bac fix(tree-control): resume work a pause gate refused after release (#19421)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The board can pause an issue tree. A pause stops work. Resume or
release must continue that work once.
> - PR #19394 made release re-dispatch a run that a pause Stop
cancelled.
> - That rule covers only a run that an operator Stop ended and that the
hold snapshot named.
> - A scheduled retry that comes due during a pause is not stopped. The
dispatch gate cancels it with `issue_paused`. The release did not see it
as owed work, so the task stalled with no run.
> - This pull request makes every gate that refuses work for a pause
record the covering hold. Release then re-dispatches that work exactly
once.
> - The benefit is that a paused task with a parked retry or a queued
run continues after release, with no manual wake.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19394

**What happened?**
A child task had a `workspace_busy` scheduled retry. The board paused
the parent tree. The retry came due during the pause. The
scheduled-retry gate cancelled it with `issue_paused` ("Scheduled retry
suppressed because the issue is held by an active subtree pause hold").
The board released the hold. Four minutes later the child was still
`in_progress` with no run, no execution blocker, and no new activity.

**Expected behavior**
Release (or `mode: "resume"`) re-dispatches the refused work exactly
once. No reconciliation and no user message are necessary.
Stranded-issue recovery does not add a second run.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Give an assigned child task a parked `workspace_busy` scheduled
retry.
2. Pause the parent tree.
3. Let the retry come due while the pause is active. The gate cancels it
with `issue_paused`.
4. Release the pause. No run starts for the child.

**Paperclip version or commit**
master at 4d49a31286 (includes #19394).

**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific (core bug).

## What Changed

- `issue-tree-control.ts`: add `ISSUE_PAUSED_ERROR_CODE` and
`pauseSuppressionResult()`. A gate records `treeHoldSuppression: {
holdId, rootIssueId }` on a run that it refused for a pause.
- `findOwedPauseResume` now treats the latest run as owed when it is an
`issue_paused` cancellation under a pause hold. It uses the recorded
hold. For an unmarked run (a scheduled retry cancelled before this
change), it uses a snapshot pause that was active at cancellation. The
operator Stop rule does not change.
- Scheduled-retry gate (`run-dispatch/adapters/postgres.ts`,
`cancelSuppressedRetryInTx`): locks the pause row `FOR SHARE` and
records the covering hold. A concurrent release either sees the refusal,
or the retry sees no pause and runs normally.
- Queued-run claim gate (`heartbeat/queue.ts`): cancels with
`issue_paused` and the hold marker, after the agent start lock is
released. Before, the cancel re-entered that lock from inside it, and
the agent's queue stalled until the 30-second stale-lock timeout. After
the refusal is saved, the gate re-checks the hold and resumes the task
itself if release already finished (`resumeIfPauseAlreadyReleased`).
- Release (`issue-tree-resume.ts`, route): revisits the snapshot members
and every task with a run refused for that hold, also when `wakeAgents`
is set. This covers tasks created under the tree after the snapshot and
tasks moved out before release.
- `packages/db`: partial index
`heartbeat_runs_tree_hold_suppression_idx` (migration 0436, `CREATE
INDEX CONCURRENTLY`, registered as a top-level migration) for that
lookup.
- Docs: `doc/execution-semantics.md` (gate-refused work, race handling,
non-assignee and pre-fix scope) and `doc/DATABASE.md` (index).

## Verification

- Red before the fix, green after: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server
exec vitest run src/__tests__/issue-tree-pause-resume-run.test.ts` (21
tests).
- "resumes a parked retry the pause suppressed exactly once after
release / resume / legacy": before, `expected [] to have a length of 1`
(no resumed run). After, one `issue_tree_resumed` run with
`interruptedRunId` = the suppressed retry, no execution blocker, and the
task finished. `reconcileStrandedAssignedIssues` added no run during the
hold or after release.
- "resumes a queued run the claim gate refused during the hold exactly
once": before, the test timed out at 15 s (start-lock re-entry). After,
the run is cancelled with `issue_paused` and the hold marker, and
release re-dispatches it once.
- "resumes a refused retry on a task moved out of the paused tree before
release" and "... on a task outside the snapshot when release also wakes
members": review findings, one resume each.
- "leaves a due retry parked when the pause is released while the gate
refuses it": the test waits until the gate blocks on an uncommitted
release. The retry is not cancelled and runs once. Without the `FOR
SHARE` lock the gate does not wait and the test fails.
- "resumes work a gate refused after the release that should have
resumed it had finished": the late-refusal re-check resumes once, and a
repeated check does not dispatch again.
- "does not resume a paused-code cancellation that no pause hold
covered": negative case.
- Related suites pass locally: `src/__tests__/issue-tree*`,
`src/modules/run-dispatch`, `src/services/heartbeat/queue.test.ts`,
`heartbeat-dependency-scheduling`, `heartbeat-workspace-busy`, and
`packages/db` `client.test.ts`.
- I did not run a live staging check here. Staging APIs are not
reachable from this environment.

## Risks

- Migration 0436 adds a partial index on `heartbeat_runs`. It is built
concurrently and covers only cancelled runs with the marker, so it is
small.
- The scheduled-retry gate now takes a `FOR SHARE` row lock on the pause
hold before it cancels. Release updates that row, so the two serialize
briefly. Release does not lock issues or runs, so the lock order cannot
deadlock with the gate's issue-then-run locks.
- The queued-run claim gate now records `issue_paused` in place of the
generic `cancelled`. Stranded recovery already classifies `issue_paused`
as non-retryable. The pause resume owns that work, so recovery does not
add a second run.
- Scope limits (documented): a non-assignee run refused by a pause is
not replayed, the same as non-assignee wakes that admission drops during
a hold. Among pre-fix rows, only scheduled retries carry `issue_paused`,
so only those fall back to the snapshot. A pre-fix row whose hold is
already released does not self-recover; the staging task that showed
this bug needs one manual wake, or a new pause and release.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip bf53060904 fix(recovery): continue saved input after verified workspace copy-back (#19422)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native execution preserves accepted results and task files after a
failure.
> - A later user message can request a new turn after the old execution
stops.
> - File recovery can finish by copying files back or by retaining a
verified archive.
> - The retained-result gate accepted the archive proof but missed a
verified copy-back receipt.
> - This change accepts that existing receipt for terminal failures and
preserves execution authority and prior results.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A task keeps a user message queued with `finalizing_saved_result` after
its old native coordinator reached `terminal_failure`. The accepted
result and a successful, exact `workspace_recovery` copy-back receipt
are saved. The gate only checks the alternate
`workspace_recovery_snapshot` receipt. An older failed result can also
keep a newer failed turn's saved input blocked.

**Expected behavior**
A new user message or deliberate task Retry can continue from verified
recovered files after the old execution stops. Preserve the old result
and unknown action outcomes. Keep an active finalizer or missing stop
evidence blocked.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Retain an accepted result when a native run reaches terminal failure.
2. Complete host copy-back with the exact run, allocation, descriptor
and final file digest.
3. Save a new user message or request task Retry.
4. Observe that admission still reports `finalizing_saved_result`.

**Paperclip version or commit**
Reproduced against `4d49a3128613b282fb344272ed7ca15f98dea2ac`.

**Deployment mode**
Authenticated native execution with retained workspace recovery. Local
regressions use disposable PostgreSQL and the real heartbeat queue. They
start no model provider or sandbox.

Related work: #19355 covers saved input after Stop. #18267 concerns
manual reconciliation of duplicate legacy holds; it excludes workspace
and system recovery and does not fix this receipt gate. I searched open
PRs and issues before starting this change.

## What Changed

- Reuse the existing host-verified repair receipt when an accepted
result belongs to a coordinator in `terminal_failure`.
- Retain the separate checks for active controllers, environment
termination, live executions, questions, approvals and current user
authority.
- Add message, saved-message and task Retry regressions, plus concurrent
queue delivery and invalid-receipt cases.
- Document this continuation path. Add no schema, API or background
worker.

## Verification

- All 483 tests pass across explicit continuation, task Retry,
quarantined Retry and finalized recovery migration suites.
- The final focused fixture has 17 cases. All pass with the change. With
the original production gate restored, all four positive cases fail and
all 13 safety cases pass.
- Negative cases cover missing, unfinished and mismatched receipts,
another task or source, unrecovered files, a live finalizer, an active
controller, missing remote stop and active execution.
- The real heartbeat path delivers one saved message under concurrent
recovery calls. Later recovery calls create no second turn. The old
accepted result and recovery budget stay unchanged; unknown outcomes
stay unknown.
- The first delivery fixture omitted the newer failed source needed by
the recovery scanner. I corrected the fixture to preserve that history
and repeated the unchanged-code comparison. Earlier failure logs remain
in the verification record.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed.
- `node scripts/check-module-boundaries.mjs` and `git diff --check`:
passed.
- `pnpm build`: passed.
- Full local `pnpm test:run`: running with a 20-minute bound; no
full-suite pass is claimed. All hosted CI checks passed. Greptile scored
the exact head `d04fb98892fd77853ad03e6b44cd612e805abc13` 5/5 with no
findings or review threads.
- Hosted delivery of the already saved input still requires a qualified
staging build containing this change.

## Risks

The new path requires the existing exact repair receipt and a terminal
failure. A coordinator still accepting or committing a result keeps the
previous hold. Stop, owner and live-run checks still run before
admission. The old result is neither applied nor replayed. Receipt
verification adds bounded indexed reads only on this retained-result
failure path. No migration or provider configuration changes are
required.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol (`gpt-6.1-sol`) through Codex in T3 Code, with xhigh
reasoning. The context-window size is not exposed. Used code editing,
tool calls and local test execution.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 11bc490cda fix(recovery): keep a stopped copy-back's files instead of holding the workspace (#19385)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A native run can have its result accepted before the copy-back of
its sandbox files finishes. If the copy-back fails, it retries.
> - A board Stop during those retries ends the run. It sets the run's
finalization to `terminal_failure` / `native_retry_cancelled`, and the
result stays accepted.
> - After that, nothing exports the files. The finalization worker skips
terminal rows, and cancelled-workspace preservation skipped any run with
an accepted result.
> - The task workspace stays dirty and bound to the stopped run. Every
later run on the task waits for the workspace, then fails setup with the
unfinished-writer error.
> - This pull request lets cancelled-workspace preservation also admit
an accepted result whose copy-back a Stop ended.
> - The benefit is that stopping a stuck copy-back saves its files and
frees the task, like stopping any other run.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #16700, #17677, #18820, #19304 and #19305 (cancelled-workspace
preservation). This pull request adds the accepted-result case to that
path and keeps its other checks unchanged.

**What happened?**

On a hosted instance, a native run's result was accepted, but its
copy-back kept failing and retrying. A board operator pressed Stop to
unblock the task. The run became `cancelled`, its sandbox was stopped
and kept, and its finalization moved to `terminal_failure` /
`native_retry_cancelled` with the result still accepted.

The next run on the task was cancelled with "Shared execution workspace
is busy: run … ended, but its workspace save has not settled". About 24
automatic retries followed over an hour. The last one failed with "The
workspace still has an unfinished writer or save operation." After that
nothing ran: the task stayed `in_progress` with no run and no recovery
action. A Retry or a new comment would hit the same block.

The workspace stayed `dirty: true` with the stopped run as its writer,
and no `workspaceRestoreRecovery` was ever recorded. The reason:
`preserveCancelledNativeWorkspaces` requires `resultId IS NULL`, and
`registerCancelledWorkspacePreservationWork` and
`preserveNativeFailedWorkspace` both return early when `resultId` is
set.

**Expected behavior**

Stopping a run during its copy-back retries keeps its files, as stopping
any other run does. Paperclip's workspace recovery saves them and
releases the workspace. Nothing commits or replays the stopped result.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Accept a native result for a run whose copy-back is in
`retryable_failure`.
2. Stop the run with the board Stop. The finalization becomes
`terminal_failure` / `native_retry_cancelled`.
3. Start another run on the task. It waits for the workspace and then
fails setup. No save of the stopped run's files is ever recorded.

The new database tests run steps 1 and 2 against PostgreSQL and check
that the save is recorded.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `9ceaec6f97e`.

**Deployment mode**

Any deployment that uses remote (sandbox) task workspaces. Seen on a
cloud-managed instance.

## What Changed

-
`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-failed-workspace-recovery.ts`:
cancelled-workspace preservation now also admits an accepted result when
the finalization is `terminal_failure` with `native_retry_cancelled`.
That is the state a Stop leaves after ending copy-back retries. All
three entry points use the same rule:
  - the startup scan `preserveCancelledNativeWorkspaces`;
  - the worker `registerCancelledWorkspacePreservationWork`;
- `preserveNativeFailedWorkspace`, only when it is called with
`requireCancelledStop`.

Preservation still requires everything it required before: a cancelled
run, an acknowledged Stop, no live finalization owner or controller
lease, a prepared workspace reference, and the exact retained source.
- An accepted result with any other failure code is still skipped; those
runs keep their own export repair path. Failed (not cancelled) runs are
unchanged.
- The accepted result stays recorded and uncommitted. Preservation does
not change the task's status or queue a run.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: describe the stopped copy-back case in
the paragraph on writers stopped mid-run.
- `native-cancelled-workspace-preservation.test.ts`: move the
accepted-result fixture into an `acceptResult` helper, and add a test
with three cases.

## Verification

- Failing first. The new test "preserves files of an accepted result
whose copy-back was stopped" has three cases: worker, startup scan, and
a sandbox that the Stop already stopped and kept, through the real
`prepareSandboxStopAndRetain` and `settleStopOnlyCleanup`. All three
fail on `master`, with no `workspaceRestoreFailure` recorded, and pass
with this change.
- Each case checks that:
- the save obligation and recovery action are recorded for the exact
lease;
  - `inspectWorkspaceRecoverySource` finds one source;
- the finalization keeps its `resultId`, `terminal_failure` and
`native_retry_cancelled`;
- the workspace stays held by the stopped writer until the save
publishes;
  - no run or wake is created, and the task status is unchanged.
- The existing "does not admit preservation for accepted-result" case
still passes. It uses an accepted result with a different failure code.
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-cancelled-workspace-preservation.test.ts`:
44 passed.
- Related suites, 10 files and 854 passed:
- `native-failed-workspace-recovery`, `workspace-recovery`,
`heartbeat/run-control`
  - `native-cancellation-request` (unit and integration)
- `heartbeat-remote-workspace-busy`, `native-workspace-export-retry`,
`native-workspace-reconstruction`
  - `native-stop-accounting`, `task-workspace-binding`
- `cd server && npx tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json`: pass.
- Not run end to end on a live instance. Diagnosed from that instance's
run, finalization, lease, workspace and recovery-action rows.

## Risks

- On deploy, the startup scan and the worker will pick up existing
cancelled runs in this state and record their saves. That is the
intended repair, and it uses the same retention checks as other stopped
writers.
- A copy-back interrupted by a server restart can leave a
`remote_workspace_snapshot` operation marked `running` after its process
is gone. This change does not settle such rows. If one blocks the later
save, the save follows its existing retry and board hand-off.
- No schema migration.

does not expose the context window or reasoning configuration.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 90b8190c33 fix(native-runtime): detect half-open runner ingress and project Stop for live runs (#19407)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native runs in a managed sandbox talk to the server through a
provider-ingress WebSocket. The server opens this socket to the runner
(`paperclip-runnerd`) through the sandbox preview proxy.
> - A staging run ran a 20-minute foreground shell command that printed
nothing. After the first second, no run events arrived. The run stayed
"Working" for over 35 minutes. No watchdog acted, and the run projection
said `canStop: false`.
> - The server only detected a lost runner connection from a `close` or
`error` event. It never sent pings. A half-open route, for example a
proxy that drops the connection without a FIN, never emits `close`. The
run then waits forever and the 7-minute reconnect grace never starts.
> - A long silent tool call is legitimate. The fix must tell "quiet but
alive" apart from "nothing alive". A protocol ping does that: runnerd
answers every ping with a pong while its provider waits on the tool.
> - This pull request pings authenticated runner connections and
terminates the socket after 90 seconds of total silence. The existing
reconnect grace and transport-failure path then recover the run. It also
makes the execution projection report `canStop: true` for every queued
or running run.
> - The benefit is that a run with a dead runner connection now ends in
a bounded time instead of hanging. API readers also see the Stop that
the board already offers.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A native-runner run (managed sandbox, OpenCode with an OpenRouter model)
ran a foreground shell command for about 20 minutes with no output. The
last run event came at about T+1s. The command finished on disk, but the
run never got another event and stayed `running` / "Working" for over 35
minutes. Its projection had `canStop: false` and `permittedActions:
["inspect_run"]`. A board cancel through the API worked.

**Expected behavior**
The server detects a dead runner connection and recovers or fails the
run in a bounded time. A runner that is alive but quiet stays attached.
The projection reports that a live run can be stopped.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a native run in a managed sandbox.
2. Make the agent run a long foreground command that prints nothing.
3. Let the preview route drop the WebSocket without a close frame.
4. Before this fix, the run stays "Working" forever.

## What Changed

- `server/src/realtime/runner-prp-outbound.ts`: after PRP
authentication, `WsJsonWireConnection.monitorLiveness` sends a WebSocket
ping every 20 s. Any inbound frame or pong counts as liveness. After 90
s with nothing inbound, it terminates the socket. That emits an ordinary
`close`, so the PRP authority and the reconnect loop use the existing
7-minute grace and then fail the transport. If the server's own event
loop stalls, the window restarts instead of blaming the runner. The 90 s
bound is longer than runnerd's own 60 s connection lease, which already
requires runnerd to read the socket.
- `server/src/services/execution-projection.ts`: `canStop` is now `true`
for every `queued` or `running` run. The old failed-native-retry rule is
unchanged.
- `server/src/services/execution-projection.ts`: a queued run now shows
"Waiting for previous run to stop" (cause `previous_run_settling`) when
a predecessor that admission checks (the task execution owner, the
retried run, or the agent's latest settled run on the task) still has
pending cleanup by `hasPendingRunCleanup`. Before, a turn queued after a
Stop showed only "Queued" with no reason while the stopped run's
controller still waited on the dead runner. That in-process wait
(`claimQueuedRun` settling-owner gate) also made Retry a no-op. The
liveness bound above makes that controller settle. Its existing cleanup
then calls `startNextQueuedRunForAgent`, which starts the queued turn.
- `server/src/services/run-cancellation.ts` and
`server/src/modules/run-dispatch/adapters/postgres.ts`: a user-stopped
native run whose runner was unreachable can later settle as `failed`
(`native_provider_terminal_failed`) when its transport fails closed. The
dispatch gate's message deferral required a `cancelled` source and
compared the message with `finishedAt`. The user's follow-up message was
therefore marked `skipped`, and the task asked for a second message. The
new `recordedUserStop` helper honors the recorded user Stop on such a
failed source, so the gate saves the message for the deferred-receipt
worker.
- `packages/shared/src/types/execution-projection.ts`: documents the
`canStop` meaning.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: documents the ingress liveness bound and
the new `canStop` meaning.

## Verification

- Red then green: `runner-prp-outbound.test.ts` "detects a half-open
authenticated ingress and fails the run within a bounded window". On the
old code it failed because no ping was sent and the socket was never
terminated. It now passes and the active-run `failure` rejects with
`runner_ingress_unavailable`.
- Safety: "keeps a quiet but live runner attached through a long silent
tool call" checks that a runner answering pings stays attached for 20
simulated minutes with no termination and no failure.
- Red then green: `execution-projection.test.ts` "offers Stop for every
live run, including a long-silent native turn". On the old code it
failed with `canStop: false`.
- Red then green: `execution-projection-recovery.test.ts` "names the
wait when a stopped predecessor still holds the task's runner" (real
Postgres). On the old code the successor projected a plain "Queued". It
also checks that the wait clears on lease release and ignores another
agent's run.
- Red then green: `workspace-recovery.test.ts` "continues a message sent
after Stop when the stopped run later failed closed". On the old code it
failed 3 of 3 runs with the receipt `skipped`. It now passes, and the
full file passes twice (392 tests). The test now pins the message after
the recorded Stop. Before, the fixture could write both in the same
millisecond, which made the sibling variants flaky.
- Passed: run-cancellation, explicit-native-continuation, run-dispatch
and run-control suites (622 tests).
- Passed: `npx vitest run src/realtime/
src/services/execution-projection*.test.ts
src/__tests__/heartbeat-run-privacy-routes.test.ts`, the
native-runner-execution-driver tests, and the plugin-runner-task tests.
- Passed: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`.
- I read runnerd (`runner-core/src/durable/transport.rs`) and confirmed
it answers `Ping` with `Pong` in its non-blocking read loop.
- Not run: a live managed-sandbox reproduction. Staging and Daytona were
not reachable from this environment. `plugin-runner-probe.test.ts` needs
a local cargo build of runnerd, and it did not start in this worktree.

## Risks

- A false termination is possible if a runner fails to answer pings for
90 s while it is still alive. runnerd already loses its own connection
lease after 60 s without reading, so this bound does not add a stricter
requirement. A terminated live runner reconnects within the existing
grace.
- If the preview proxy drops WebSocket control frames, ping alone does
not prove liveness. Inbound PRP frames (runnerd's lease renewals, about
every 30 s) still count, so a live runner stays attached.
- `canStop` now means "the board can Stop now" for live runs. The UI
already shows Stop for running and queued runs without reading this
hint, so the UI does not change.
- Out of scope: the inbound runner WebSocket server
(`runner-prp-ws.ts`), and a lost OpenCode SSE event while the runner is
alive. A stopped run whose controller hangs for a reason other than a
dead transport still holds the queued successor. The projection now
names that wait, but this PR does not force-release it, because the
controller has no termination evidence. A queued reason for the agent
concurrency cap is also not covered. The wait label calls the admission
predicate (`hasPendingRunCleanup`) for up to three predecessor runs per
queued run. This adds a few reads to projections of queued runs only.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 a4bb059f59 fix(heartbeat): retry transient sandbox provider lease refusals and explain the block (#19412)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A task runs in an execution environment. A managed sandbox
environment gets a lease from a sandbox provider (for example Daytona)
before the agent starts.
> - When the provider answered sandbox create with a temporary error
(HTTP 502), the run failed as the generic `setup_failed`.
> - `setup_failed` is the fail-closed code for unknown setup errors. It
gets no automatic retry, so the task went to `blocked` at once. The task
showed only "Couldn't finish this attempt".
> - A user had to find and press Retry. The Retry then worked, which
shows that the failure was temporary.
> - This pull request classifies temporary provider refusals during
lease acquisition from structured fields. It retries them within the
existing bounded bootstrap budget, and it explains the block when the
retries are used up.
> - The benefit is that a short provider outage no longer stops a task.
When the outage continues, the task shows the cause and a Retry that
works.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A task was assigned to an agent that uses a managed Daytona sandbox
environment. Sandbox creation returned `HTTP 502`, and the cleanup of
the provisional sandbox could not be confirmed. The run failed with
`setup_failed` and the error `Failed to acquire lease for environment
"Paperclip Sandbox" (sandbox): Daytona sandbox creation failed (HTTP
502); cleanup could not be confirmed for paperclip-create-…`. Three
seconds later the task was `blocked`. No automatic retry was scheduled.
The task showed no specific reason. A manual Retry started a new run
that completed normally.

**Expected behavior**
A temporary provider error (HTTP 5xx, 429, timeout) before the agent
starts must retry automatically with bounded backoff. The task must show
why it waits. If the retries are used up, the task must show the cause,
a next action, and a Retry that works on the first click.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Configure an agent with a sandbox environment.
2. Make the provider return HTTP 502 on sandbox create.
3. Assign a task to the agent.
4. See that the run fails with `setup_failed` and the task goes to
`blocked` with no retry.

**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at `612da1e8e0`.

## What Changed

- Plugin SDK: an `environmentAcquireLease` error now carries a closed
diagnostic envelope (HTTP status or a closed errno code) across the
worker RPC. It takes the status of the create call only, not of the
compensating cleanup lookup. The existing creation-cleanup ownership
envelope is unchanged. New module: `environment-acquire-error.ts`. The
resume diagnostic helpers are shared.
- Server: new `EnvironmentProviderUnavailableError` and code
`environment_provider_unavailable`. The environment run orchestrator
sets it as the cause of `lease_acquire_failed` only when structured
evidence shows a transient status (408, 425, 429, 500, 502, 503, 504, or
a closed connection errno). It never parses message text. Saved-sandbox
resume and stopped-worker refusals keep their own codes.
- Setup failure (`failRunSetup`): a fresh, pre-dispatch run records
`environment_provider_unavailable` with a `providerFailure` (phase
`startup`, retryability `transient`). The run uses the bounded bootstrap
retry (30 s, then 60 s). An accepted interaction continuation keeps its
own continuation retry, as for `plugin_worker_unavailable`.
- Recovery: the new code is registered with the other bootstrap codes.
It is not sent to the generic continuation retry. It does not create an
execution-reconciliation hold, because no provider work started. On
exhaustion the stranded notice has the title "Sandbox provider was
temporarily unavailable" and a specific next action.
- UI: `ProviderFailureNotice` labels the `sandbox` provider as "Sandbox
provider". The task notice shows the provider failure, "Paperclip will
retry automatically" while a retry is scheduled, and Retry after
exhaustion.
- Docs: `doc/execution-semantics.md` describes the policy and the
sandbox ownership rule.

## Verification

Red before the fix, green after the fix:

- `server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts` › "transient
sandbox provider refusal during lease acquisition":
- "retries automatically and runs exactly one successful successor
without user action": the real heartbeat. The lease runtime returns a
Daytona 502 once, then delegates. Before the fix: one `failed` run and
no successor. After the fix: one `scheduled_retry` successor with no
hold and a `retry_scheduled` presentation. After promotion, exactly one
successor succeeds.
- "explains the block with a working Retry once automatic retries are
used up": three refusals. The task is `blocked` with a "Sandbox provider
was temporarily unavailable" notice. The presentation is `{ state:
"failed", canRetry: true, providerFailure: { httpStatus: 502 } }`, and
no execution-reconciliation hold exists. One `requestTaskRetry` is
accepted, and its run succeeds.
- `server/src/services/heartbeat/run-completion.test.ts` › "routes a …
sandbox provider lease refusal through bounded bootstrap recovery": the
real orchestrator wrapping. Only the fresh, structured 502 is retried. A
message-only 502, a 400, a run after provider dispatch, and a retained
native run stay `setup_failed`.
- `packages/plugins/sdk/tests/environment-acquire-error.test.ts`: the
real worker RPC. The test checks the create status (not the 404 cleanup
lookup), the errno, no provider text, the unchanged cleanup envelope,
and that forged envelopes are rejected.

Commands:

```sh
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-sdk exec vitest run tests/environment-acquire-error.test.ts tests/environment-creation-cleanup.test.ts tests/environment-resume-error.test.ts
cd server && npx vitest run src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts src/services/recovery/ src/services/heartbeat/run-completion.test.ts src/services/heartbeat/retries.test.ts src/services/legacy-execution-recovery.test.ts src/services/task-interruption-presentation.test.ts src/services/task-retry.test.ts src/__tests__/environment-runtime.test.ts src/__tests__/heartbeat-retry-scheduling.test.ts
cd packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona && npx vitest run
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-sdk typecheck && pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck
```

I did not run a live Daytona 502 on staging. Re-check on staging after
deploy (see Risks).

## Risks

- Sandbox leaks or double creation: each retry is a new run with a new
durable creation record and a new provider name
(`paperclip-create-<operationId>`). The failed attempt stays owned by
its own record, and the existing creation reconciler settles it. A retry
never reuses or abandons it. While a provisional sandbox waits for
reconciliation, up to two more sandboxes can be created for the same
task. This is the same as a manual Retry today.
- Plugins built with an older SDK do not send the envelope. Their
refusals stay `setup_failed`, which is the current behavior.
- An in-process error with `status`/`statusCode` 500–504 or a connection
errno during lease acquisition is now retried twice. The budget is
bounded and shared with the other bootstrap codes.
- An RPC timeout on the host side is not classified by this change.

work
> - Native runs in managed sandboxes recover through reattachment: after
a server restart, and for a same-run retry when a turn ends without a
semantic result
> - Reattachment fails closed when the original runner or sandbox is

it is safe, and offers Retry on the recovered hold when it is not
> - The benefit is that interrupted work continues after infrastructure
events, and a user who must act gets a Retry that works on first use

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A native task in a managed sandbox was interrupted. In one case a server
restart claimed a queued user-comment turn for reattachment. In another
case a turn completed without a semantic result, and the same-run retry
claimed the run for reattachment with no restart. In both cases the
original runner or sandbox lease was gone. The run failed with
`native_remote_recovery_lease_mismatch` or
`runner_remote_process_identity_unavailable`. Recovery saved the work.
The task stayed `blocked` with "Saved work recovered. Send a message to
continue." The execution blocker had `canRetry: false`. A manual `POST
/api/issues/:id/retry` started a run that succeeded.

**Expected behavior**
After an infrastructure interruption, the task continues automatically
when the interrupted turn's outcome is known. Otherwise the task offers
a Retry that works on first use.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a native task in a managed sandbox from a user comment.
2. Lose the sandbox lease or the remote runner process (for example,
restart the server during a maintenance window).
3. Let reattachment fail and saved-work recovery complete.
4. See that the task waits for a new message and offers no Retry on the
execution blocker.

**Root cause**
Reattachment (`reattach_remote_runner`) correctly refuses to replace a
missing runner or allocation. Nothing then continued the user's request.
The automatic continuation rule only allows a new user turn after
reconciliation. `getExecutionBlocker` hid Retry whenever a workspace
restore hold existed, also after the files were verifiably recovered.
The same-run retry path also re-enters the restart-recovery owner, so
its event said "after server restart" with no restart.

## What Changed

- New `server/src/services/heartbeat/restart-interrupted-turn.ts`: after
a reattachment claim executes, if the run failed because its runner or
allocation was lost, request the same task Retry that `POST
/issues/:id/retry` creates. It runs once per run (idempotency key
`restart-interrupted-turn:<runId>`), under the authority of the user who
sent the message, assigned the task, or clicked Retry. It requires that
the run recorded no provider turn or that its last provider turn is
settled. System wakes, in-flight turns, and a Retry that this hook
already requested do not continue automatically.
- `heartbeat/recovery.ts`: call the hook after each reattachment claim.
Label same-run retry reattachment as "Reattaching to the existing remote
runner to resume this run", and add `trigger: "same_run_retry"` to the
event payload.
- `execution-blocker.ts`: a failed run whose saved work is verifiably
recovered now offers Retry (`canRetry: true`) with "Saved work
recovered. Retry or send a message to continue." An intentional Stop
keeps "send a message" only.
- `task-retry.ts`: optional `initiatedBy: "restart_recovery"` records
the activity as actor `system`/`restart-recovery` with
`onBehalfOfUserId`.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: document the rule.

## Verification

- New regressions in `server/src/services/workspace-recovery.test.ts`
use the real recovery, Retry and dispatch services on embedded Postgres:
- `continues a user turn once ... after $title and recovery saved the
work` (3 cases: restart lease loss before the turn, same-run retry with
the runner gone after a settled turn, same-run retry with the lease gone
after a settled turn). Each asserts one queued successor bound to the
Retry and the user's authority after recovery, idempotent hook calls,
system activity attribution, and no second automatic attempt for the
automatic Retry's own failure.
- `does not continue automatically when $title, and offers a Retry that
works on first use` (in-flight turn, system wake, unrelated error). Each
asserts no successor, `canRetry: true` on the blocker and the
interruption presentation, and one successor after one Retry click.
- Red before the fix: all 6 tests fail (no successor, blocker `canRetry:
false`). Green after the fix.
- `npx vitest run src/services/workspace-recovery.test.ts
src/services/task-retry.test.ts
src/services/task-interruption-presentation.test.ts
src/services/execution-blocker-read.test.ts
src/services/heartbeat/recovery.test.ts
src/services/explicit-native-continuation.test.ts
src/services/quarantined-task-retry.test.ts
src/__tests__/workspace-restore-repair-route.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-failed-workspace-recovery.test.ts`:
1098 passed.
- Not verified on staging. After the next deploy, check a task
interrupted by a restart: it should continue without a message, or show
Retry.

## Risks

- The automatic Retry uses the original user's authority. Admission
rechecks that user's current permission, stop proof, saved-work
recovery, approvals, pauses, budget and ownership. A refused request
leaves the visible Retry.
- A settled turn that ended without a result is continued with a fresh
Retry turn from saved work. A turn whose outcome is unknown (in flight)
is not.
- The hook runs after the claim's execution returns. If the server stops
between the failure and the request, the task shows Retry instead.
- Not in scope: same-run disposition recovery still cannot start a new
runner in the existing sandbox after the original remote runner exits.
This change continues the task with one fresh Retry turn instead. If
that Retry turn also ends without a result and loses its runner, the
task shows Retry.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 5c185db77c fix(tree-control): resume work a subtree pause interrupted (#19394)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Task tree control lets the board pause a task tree and then resume
it.
> - A pause stops the runs that are active in the tree. The release must
then continue the work that was pending.
> - A child task whose run was active at pause time did not start again
after release. The child became blocked and asked for a user message.
> - A pause is an operator hold, not a failure. It must not strand work,
and it must not require reconciliation for a run that never started.
> - This pull request re-dispatches interrupted work one time on
release, and it settles a legacy Stop that never entered the adapter.
> - The benefit is that pause and resume keep a task tree moving without
manual recovery, and real safety gates stay in force.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A parent task delegated two children. One child's run was active (in
host workspace preparation, before the adapter started) when the board
paused the parent's tree. The pause cancelled that run. After the board
released the hold, no new run started for that child. The child became
`blocked` with the execution blocker cause
`legacy_execution_requires_reconciliation`. Later the next action became
"Send a message to continue." A sibling child that had no active run at
pause time resumed normally.

**Expected behavior**

A run that a subtree pause cancels is an operator hold. On release, the
pending work starts again one time, automatically. It does not go
through execution reconciliation when the run never entered its adapter.
It does not wait for a user message.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a parent task and a child task that is assigned to an agent.
2. Wake the child. While its run is in host preparation (or queued),
call `POST /api/issues/:parentId/tree-holds` with `{ "mode": "pause" }`.
3. Call `POST /api/issues/:parentId/tree-holds/:holdId/release` without
`wakeAgents`.
4. Before this change, no new run starts, and `getExecutionBlocker`
reports `legacy_execution_requires_reconciliation` for the child.

**Root cause**

- (a) The pause records each interrupted run in the hold member snapshot
(`activeRunId`). Nothing used that record on release.
- (b) Release woke tasks only when `metadata.wakeAgents === true`.
Without it, release relied on stranded-issue recovery. That recovery
stands down when the latest run was cancelled by an operator
(`isOperatorCancelledRun`). So the interrupted child had no owner.
- (c) The pause Stop of a legacy run in preparation is written directly
as `cancelled`. Legacy terminalization classifies a cancelled run with
no bootstrap evidence as an unknown outcome. It records
`legacy_execution_requires_reconciliation`, although the gated dispatch
never entered the adapter.
- Native runs: the verified native Stop does not create the
reconciliation hold, but gap (b) applies to native runs too. The release
change is runtime-independent.

## What Changed

- `issueTreeControlService.findOwedPauseResume` decides if a task is
owed one resume. The task's latest run must be an operator Stop that a
pause hold member snapshot names, recorded while that hold was active.
The task must still be executable by the same agent, and no pause may
still cover it. The obligation belongs to the run, so overlapping pauses
keep it until the last covering release.
- New `services/issue-tree-resume.ts` re-dispatches owed work with wake
reason `issue_tree_resumed` (`holdId` and `interruptedRunId` in the
context). A compare-and-set claim (`treeHoldResume`) on the interrupted
run makes the resume happen at most once. A failed wake returns the
claim.
- Pause release and `mode: "resume"` call it for every member of the
released hold, also without `wakeAgents`. When `wakeAgents` is true, the
existing loop wakes every executable member.
- A task that still has an execution blocker is not replayed. The
release writes `issue.tree_resume_wake_skipped`, the blocker stays
visible, and the obligation stays unclaimed.
- `releaseHold` updates only an `active` hold. A repeated release gets
`409`.
- `settleCancelledLegacyPreparation`: when the executor that owned a
cancelled legacy run proves that dispatch never entered the adapter, it
records bootstrap evidence and resolves that run's
`legacy-execution:<runId>` hold as `false_positive`. It also corrects an
automatic no-replay disposition and restores a `blocked` status only
when that disposition made the change. Then it re-dispatches owed work,
for a release that happened while the Stop was unwinding. It requires a
requested Stop with no existing recovery receipt, and no process,
session, native finalization, unreleased lease, or execution-start
event.
- `settleUnrecoverableExecutions` waits while a legacy executor still
holds its controller lease, and records a `legacyCancellationBlock`
receipt when it blocks a task for a cancelled legacy run.
- Docs: `doc/execution-semantics.md` and `doc/composer-stop.md` describe
the resume rule.

## Verification

- New regression
`server/src/__tests__/issue-tree-pause-resume-run.test.ts` uses embedded
Postgres, the real heartbeat, and the real tree-control routes:
- A run paused during preparation: nothing runs during the hold, there
is no blocker, and release creates exactly one `issue_tree_resumed` run
that succeeds. A second release returns `409` and creates no run.
- Release before the stopped preparation finishes unwinding (with the
periodic disposition run in between): exactly one resumed run after the
executor settles.
- An automatic no-replay disposition that ran first: the blocker clears,
the status returns to `in_progress`, and release resumes once.
- Overlapping child and parent pauses: no resume while the parent pause
remains, then exactly one resume after it is released.
- A queued run cancelled by the pause: release creates exactly one
resumed run.
  - A task reassigned to a user during the hold: no resume.
- A mid-turn legacy Stop with unknown outcome: no replay, the
reconciliation blocker remains, and `issue.tree_resume_wake_skipped` is
logged.
- Red before each fix: the first 4 cases failed on master; the 3 review
cases failed on the first PR commit. All 7 pass now.
- Also passed locally: `issue-tree-control-routes`,
`issue-tree-control-service`, `heartbeat-workspace-busy`,
`heartbeat-undispatched-execution-wait`, `execution-control-work`,
`legacy-workspace-restore-recovery`, `legacy-continuation-authority`,
`task-retry`, `legacy-execution-recovery`, `agent-conversations`,
`heartbeat-retry-scheduling`, `satisfied-connection-intents`.
- Not verified here: a live staging pause/resume. Re-check on staging
after deploy.

## Risks

- Behavior change: release now starts the work that the pause
interrupted, also without `wakeAgents`. Before, that work stayed idle.
Other idle tasks still wake only with `wakeAgents`.
- The settlement trusts the executor's adapter-entry flag. The flag is
set only inside the atomic dispatch gate, which refuses a cancelled run.
The settlement also requires no process, session, lease, or execution
event.
- A native run whose Stop has not finalized at release time is not a
target. Stranded recovery and explicit wake still apply.

DottaandPaperclip 7c0922a7b6 fix(native): preserve provider backups during slow workspace saves (#19359)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Remote native sessions save provider state so another web server can
continue the same conversation.
> - A provider can suspend while its accepted result is still saving a
large workspace.
> - The run has released its live lease at that point. A new
backup-owner lookup rejects this uncommitted state.
> - This pull request captures the real owner during backend creation
and retains it with the current session authority.
> - The existing database checks still reject a changed boot,
generation, result, or successor before inspection and during
publication.
> - The benefit is that a slow workspace save no longer prevents the
provider backup.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A remote session can fail to save its provider backup with
`native_harness_storage_owner_missing`. The provider has suspended, but
its accepted result is still in `workspace_finalizing`. The close
callback tries to acquire a new owner after the run released its lease.
A later allocation cannot use a backup that was never published.

**Expected behavior**

Save the suspended provider with the authority acquired during
execution. Recheck that authority before provider inspection and before
and after upload. Keep result finalization and provider-work permissions
unchanged.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a remote native session with durable provider storage.
2. Accept its result and release the live lease while its workspace save
remains pending.
3. Close the provider transport. The old owner lookup rejects the save
before provider inspection.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on master `bf10bc695abaef6b20e85b287f456b5ce2edb266`.

**Deployment mode**

A web server with object storage and remote managed Runner sessions.

Related: #19225 retains failed-turn ownership through close. #18436
restores an external controller checkpoint before a changed warm process
is replaced. This change fixes late backup-owner acquisition while an
accepted result saves its workspace.

## What Changed

- Capture the provider backup owner when the remote backend still owns
its execution lease.
- Bind that owner to the current session authority. An older close
callback selects the current warm attachment's owner. Revalidate the
captured fence before inspecting or skipping provider state.
- Add a regression for the close callback during workspace finalization.
- Restore encrypted provider files with a captured owner while workspace
finalization remains pending. Reject boot, generation, result, and
successor changes during upload.
- Document the ownership contract.

## Verification

- Observed the callback regression fail on the old code with
`native_harness_storage_owner_missing`. The same test passes with this
fix.
- `cd server && node ../node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run --config
vitest.config.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-harness-backup-storage.integration.test.ts`:
59 passed, using real PostgreSQL and encrypted object write/readback.
- `node scripts/check-module-boundaries.mjs`: passed.
- Full workspace typecheck: passed with the complete production fix.
- Native execution: 1,151 passed. Managed warm lifecycle: 9 passed.
These tests require a lost-owner error during shutdown, including before
an incomplete provider checkpoint is skipped. The final change to the
lifecycle test also requires rejection after lease renewal is lost.
- Full local `pnpm build`: passed on the final head.
- The full local `pnpm test:run` stopped in chat shard 6 on five
existing deadline assertions. Earlier chat shards passed; the PR CI chat
shards passed. This is not a full local-suite pass.
- The first CI server shard 4 attempt failed the unchanged legacy
environment-inheritance fixture at its five-second completion wait. The
same failure reproduced locally on the repair head and on an earlier
checkout without this repair. One unchanged CI retry passed. No fixture
assertion or timeout change is shipped.
- Latest-head CI has passed. Greptile reviewed the final head at 5/5
with no open threads. The separate Paperclip Review is paused. This PR
does not claim staging acceptance.

## Risks

The backup owner now lives with its session authority. A wrong authority
selection must fail rather than publish provider state. Database
publication still checks the original company, task, run, boot,
generation, and accepted result before and after upload. Tests change
the owner during upload and verify that the selected backup stays
intact. No schema, data migration, or new provider-work permission
changes.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 model family, with reasoning and code execution
tools. The host does not expose the exact runtime model ID or
context-window limit.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 002455ea06 fix(issues): finish a reassignment whose native stop settles after the request (#19354)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A user can stop or interrupt a running native task and then send a
message to give new direction
> - When the stopped run left a workspace hold, the dispatch gate
withholds the follow-up run until recovery saves the work

so the task stayed in progress with "Saved work recovered. Send a
message to continue." although the user already sent one
> - This pull request saves the message in both conditions
> - The benefit is that the message the user already sent continues
once, automatically, after recovery

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

After a user stopped or interrupted a native task with an isolated
sandbox workspace and sent a message, the follow-up run was cancelled
with `execution_reconciliation_required`. Its error said "Saved work
recovered. Send a message to continue." Nothing re-woke the task. In the
interrupt case, a periodic sweep started a run about four minutes later.
In the case where the follow-up first waited for the stopped run's
workspace save (`workspace_busy`), each later retry parked on the same
resolved recovery action, and the task did not continue.

**Expected behavior**
When the recovery that the follow-up waited on resolves, the message
that the user already sent continues once, automatically. The product
does not ask for a second message.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run a native task in a managed sandbox with an isolated workspace.
2. Stop the run (or send a comment with interrupt), then send a message
while the stop and workspace save are still settling.
3. Wait for the workspace recovery to resolve.
4. See that the follow-up run is cancelled with
`execution_reconciliation_required` and that no run continues the
message.

**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` before this change.

**Root cause**
`deferUnstartedUserComment` (run dispatch) refused to save the withheld
message in two cases:
1. It compared the message time with the source run's `finishedAt`. A
native run finishes only after its provider stop and workspace save
settle, which takes seconds. A message written after the Stop request
but before that settlement was treated as input written before the Stop.
The receipt was marked `skipped`.
2. It required the run's own receipt to be user-owned. A workspace-busy
retry or an admission retry carries the user's message under a
system-owned receipt, so the message was dropped with the retry.

## What Changed

- Add `userStopBoundaryAt(run)` in `run-cancellation.ts`. For a run
cancelled by a user Stop or interrupt, it returns the recorded Stop
request time (`cancellation.recordedAt`) when that is earlier than
`finishedAt`. For all other runs it returns `finishedAt`.
- Use this boundary in the dispatch gate's message deferral, in native
explicit-continuation admission, and in the remote-Stop continuation
check, so the three places agree on "message written after the Stop".
- When the withheld run is a system-owned retry, walk a bounded chain
(max 8) of retries that did not reach the provider (`workspace_busy`
with `providerWorkStarted: false`, or a verified pre-dispatch
`execution_reconciliation_required`) to the originating user receipt.
Save the message on that receipt with the user's original wake context.
Mark the retry's system receipt `skipped`.
- Update the "input written before the Stop" test so that the Stop
request, and not only the settlement, comes after the message.

## Verification

- New regressions in `server/src/services/workspace-recovery.test.ts`
(`continues a message ... without a second message, after recovery
already resolved`): a direct follow-up and a workspace-busy retry. Each
runs recovery to completion first, then lets the gate withhold the
follow-up, then runs only the deferred-receipt worker. Each asserts that
exactly one successor run is queued with the user's message and the
user's authority, and that no provider work starts.
- Red before the fix: both tests fail because the receipt is `skipped`
instead of `deferred_issue_execution`. Green after the fix.
- `npx vitest run src/services/workspace-recovery.test.ts` (384 passed).
- `npx vitest run src/services/explicit-native-continuation.test.ts
src/modules/run-dispatch src/services/execution-continuation.test.ts
src/services/run-cancellation.test.ts` (581 passed).
- 19 more heartbeat, retry, queued-comment, and native recovery suites
(1272 passed). One failure, `heartbeat-process-recovery > redacts opaque
environment-bound credentials from Sentry diagnostics: result`, also
fails on unchanged `master` and is not related.

## Risks

- A message written after the Stop request but before the stopped run
settled now continues. The stopping run cannot consume new input after
its Stop request, and admission still removes comments that a run
already delivered (`undeliveredLegacyUserCommentIds`). All admission
gates (holds, stop proofs, approvals, budget) still apply.
- Only user Stops and interrupts move the boundary. Other cancellations
keep `finishedAt`.
- The retry walk is bounded, stays in one company, agent, and issue, and
accepts only retries without provider work. It revives a user receipt
only from `cancelled` or `skipped`, so a second retry cannot save the
same receipt twice.
- Not in scope: a run that fails during native preparation with no user
message (for example `runner_state_identity_mismatch:
prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate;
retirement_refused=unexpected_root_entry` on a system wake). After its
recovery resolves, the task still waits for a user message. That is a
separate root cause in the native session executor's prior-owner
retirement proof.

Code with tool use (shell, file edits, local test runs).

DottaandPaperclip 789a71bc17 fix(runner): retry quarantined tasks in their saved workspace (#19340)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native sessions retain execution ownership and action history across
turns.
> - Task Retry must prove that old execution has stopped before it
starts another turn.
> - An attempt can inherit its predecessor's identity and fail before it
launches a provider.
> - The cleanup proof searched under that failed attempt and compared
unrelated event sequences.
> - This pull request verifies the retained owner and starts one fresh
authorized turn.
> - Saved results and uncertain action outcomes remain intact.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?** Task Retry accepted repeated clicks but kept the
canonical request deferred with `executionWait.reason: local_cleanup`.
It created no successor, although the retained local worker and provider
had stopped.

**Expected behavior:** After exact cleanup proof, admit one fresh turn.
Preserve the old journal and result. Keep unresolved action outcomes
unknown.

**Steps to reproduce:**
1. Finish a local native turn with retained cleanup state and a saved
result.
2. Let the next attempt inherit its identity and fail with
`native_session_cleanup_quarantined` before any launch.
3. Upgrade across a tool-contract change, then click task Retry.
4. The old code requires the failed attempt's stop receipt and journal
identity. It also requires the current tool fingerprint and equal
sequence numbers across raw and normalized events. Those requirements
cannot match the retained owner.

**Paperclip version or commit:** Reproduced on `31bf6e4482`.
**Deployment mode / installation method:** Authenticated, self-hosted
source checkout.
**Agent adapter(s) involved:** Native `paperclip_runner`, local Codex
app-server. The shared physical-stop proof also covers ACPX.
**Database mode:** Embedded PostgreSQL 18.1.
**Access context:** Board task Retry.
**Node.js version / operating system:** Incident: Node 24.20.0, Linux
ARM64. Local verification: macOS ARM64.
**Relevant logs or output:** Accepted Retry stays in
`deferred_issue_execution`; no new run or provider launch occurs.
**Relevant config:** Per-turn local native execution. The old tool
contract differs from the current contract.
**Additional context:** Related: #19311 prevents the oversized tool
result that can lead to retained cleanup. #18217 covers broader cleanup
isolation and retained-result maintenance. #19134 admits stopped Runner
sources under the current run lease. This patch fixes explicit
continuation admission on current master.

## What Changed

- Resolve the retained journal's owner under the same company, task,
agent, workspace, native session, and runner instance.
- Require terminal ownership, settled controllers, released local
leases, and exact inherited process birth. Refuse any launch evidence on
the failed attempt.
- Accept a current host's verified process absence from its exact launch
receipt when an older server lacks a stop receipt. A later launch
invalidates that observation.
- Validate normalized receipts against their own IDs, sequences, and
digests. Match ordered provider identities to the independent raw
journal.
- Keep tool compatibility at the session reuse boundary. Explicit
continuation always uses a fresh session.
- Bind the stop proof to its exact successor and canonical Retry
receipt. Reuse the proven local workspace through normal preparation.
Refuse changed bindings, closed or remote workspaces, pending
operations, and other live leases. Projectless run-ID placeholders keep
the existing fresh-workspace fallback.
- Retain journals, results, files, and uncertain action outcomes. Add
regression and opt-in live acceptance coverage.
- Make the split-handoff browser test wait for both child-completion
notices and all run settlement before teardown. Assert the final task
set stays unchanged.

## Verification

- Red: canonical Retry on the original code accepts one saved intent but
creates zero successors and records `local_cleanup`.
- Red: distinct raw and normalized event sequences reproduce that wait
after owner resolution alone. After admission was repaired, live
acceptance then exposed the empty-attempt workspace problem. A
PostgreSQL regression also reproduced that wrong workspace selection.
- Green at `6684df5e82`: **479 targeted cases**, including 26 new
PostgreSQL cases for duplicate clicks, exact process and workspace
ownership, controller/lease fences, changed state, and independent
receipt integrity. The complete 1,150-test native executor suite passed
earlier.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass again at final head
`432a52bea8`, including its build stamp. Token gates pass. Master now
contains the unrelated directory-fixture type correction found during
the first typecheck.
- Real authenticated HTTP Retry with Codex `gpt-6.1-sol`, high effort,
and per-turn execution passes again at final head `432a52bea8` (93.3
seconds). It preserves the first file line, appends the second once,
starts a fresh session in the existing workspace, keeps the retained
journal unchanged, commits finalization, and clears task locks.
- The strengthened split-handoff browser scenario passes **three
consecutive local runs**. Its original CI teardown and one same-head
rerun failed when cleanup cancelled an active legacy
completion-notification run and hit a PostgreSQL row-lock timeout. The
scenario now waits for the complete handoff before cleanup. [Initial
failure](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42106466518/job/127523693634),
[same-head
rerun](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42106466518/job/127531698321).
These failures remain part of the verification record.
- The local full `pnpm test:run` passed all six chat integration shards.
Its obsolete pre-rebase attempt was stopped during the general server
phase; no complete local-suite pass is claimed. Full CI, including both
required gates, passed at `6684df5e82`. At final head `432a52bea8`, all
initial CI groups passed except the unchanged status-card deadline test,
whose post-wakeup clock assertion missed its bound by 10 ms. That exact
case passed three unchanged local repetitions (16.8/27.0/18.3 seconds);
the single isolated shard rerun passed all **2,218 tests** (123 files),
with no source changes. [Initial timing
failure](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42114473652/job/127550722187).
- Greptile reviewed `6684df5e82` at **5/5**, with no actionable
findings. A second reviewer identified the supported projectless
placeholder case. A new real PostgreSQL regression reproduced its
workspace-binding failure before the one-line fallback correction; all
**45 focused cases** now pass, including default environment selection
and changed binding/cwd refusal. Greptile reviewed final head
`432a52bea8` at **5/5**, with no blocking findings. The second
reviewer’s thread is resolved.
- The patched Linux build verified the actual retained worker/provider
ownership and process absence in a transaction that was rolled back. No
retained state was retired or provider started during that
pre-deployment check.

## Risks

- This changes an execution admission proof. Incorrect ownership could
permit a second executor. The proof retains process, controller, lease,
scope, journal, and receipt fences, and duplicate admission is tested
through the real queue.
- Missing or conflicting evidence remains deferred. Windows, remote
execution, automatic replacement, and session reuse retain their
existing policies.
- No database migration or UI change. The original affected task still
needs deployment of the fix before recovery can be claimed.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, SSH diagnostics, and live provider testing. This session does
not expose the exact backend model build or context-window size. The
live test agent uses OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` at high effort.

DottaandPaperclip 15249a689d fix(server): preserve sessions across cosmetic sandbox updates (#19349)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent work and saves provider sessions between
turns.
> - Session and workspace compatibility include the selected environment
revision.
> - The managed sandbox reconciler also updates names, descriptions, and
stock metadata.
> - Those cosmetic updates advanced the revision even when the execution
configuration stayed the same.
> - A later turn therefore discarded an otherwise compatible saved
session.
> - This pull request keeps that revision stable for cosmetic
reconciliation and retains resets for real configuration changes.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #18943 and #18552.

**What happened?**

A managed sandbox rename or description update made a later task turn
start a fresh provider session. The driver, provider, snapshot, and
agent configuration could all remain unchanged. Both session and
workspace freshness use the environment's `updatedAt` as its
configuration revision.

**Expected behavior**

Cosmetic managed reconciliation preserves compatible task sessions.
Actual sandbox configuration or availability changes retain the normal
replacement checks.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a managed sandbox and save a task-session fingerprint for it.
2. Reconcile the same sandbox configuration with a new name,
description, or managed metadata.
3. Evaluate the saved session against that environment. Before this fix,
the decision resets the session and reports the environment category.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on master `d3713d827f70ddba63a323e57c562384dbd648ba`.

**Deployment mode**

Managed sandbox server. The regression uses an isolated PostgreSQL
database and the actual reconciler and session-freshness resolver.

## What Changed

- Keep the existing revision for an active managed sandbox when its
execution configuration stays equal.
- Continue advancing the revision when configuration or availability
changes.
- Retain activity records and managed-stock binding updates for cosmetic
reconciliation.
- Add a regression that checks session reuse, audit history, and
rejection after a real snapshot change.
- Document the freshness contract.

## Verification

- The new PostgreSQL regression failed before the production change: it
reported `reset: true` and changed category `environment`.
- All 53 environment-service cases pass after the fix.
- All 190 session-freshness and assembled heartbeat session-preparation
cases pass.
- Full local typecheck passes. The full local Vitest run remains active,
with its local build queued afterward. Initial typecheck setup failures
were retained and resolved by repairing generated SDK links; no source
workaround was added.
- [Full current-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42114984839)
passes, including the sharded test suites and build: 55 successful
checks, 3 skipped, and 1 neutral.
- Greptile and Ponytail both reviewed this commit at 5/5 with no
findings. No review threads remain unresolved.
- Deployed verification remains pending normal delivery. No pinned
release or manual rollout is required.

## Risks

- Cosmetic managed reconciliation keeps `environments.updatedAt`
unchanged, so it does not reorder that environment by this timestamp.
Activity records and managed-resource bindings still record the update.
- The comparison uses canonical configuration hashes, so JSON property
order cannot hide a real change or create false drift.
- Existing fingerprint formats and saved session records remain
compatible. Real configuration and availability changes still advance
the revision.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex desktop, with reasoning and terminal/browser
tools. The host does not expose a more specific deployment suffix or
context-window size.

b929ad43de fix: keep dependency waits neutral and explain GitHub access failures (#19315)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent work and shows users what can move it
forward.
> - Task status and tool approval cards describe different parts of that
work.
> - A queued dependency wait has no provider attempt to retry.
> - GitHub can reject an approved action while other connection tools
still work.
> - These cases showed a false Retry banner and an unhelpful provider
error.
> - This pull request keeps dependency waits neutral and gives GitHub
access failures a direct repair path.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #19268 preserves pending Retry preparation and current failure
causes.

**What happened?**

A queued wake cancelled by the dependency gate appeared as a failed
attempt with Retry. A GitHub MCP permission denial appeared as raw HTTP
error text after an approved repository action.

**Expected behavior**

Keep the task's dependency state. Show GitHub access failures with a
clear explanation and a link to the selected connection's Permissions
page. Preserve actual failures, provider details, and approval gates.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Queue a wake, then leave its task dependent on unfinished work before
dispatch.
2. Open the task after the dependency gate cancels that wake.
3. Separately approve a GitHub action whose MCP result contains `403
Resource not accessible by integration`.
4. Reopen the saved tool approval.

## What Changed

- Recognize both queues' unstarted dependency-wait receipts in
cancellation provenance and task projections. No dispatch or recovery
gate changes.
- Classify GitHub's specific permission error after MCP result
normalization. Keep result validation, the raw diagnostic, and working
tools available.
- Apply the same display code to both historical GitHub error codes.
Identify the provider from company-scoped connection metadata, including
renamed apps, without rewriting stored decisions.
- Show a token-based inline access card with **Manage GitHub access**
and collapsed **Error details**.
- Give agents trusted recovery steps after an approved GitHub action
fails. Keep provider text in the untrusted result and prevent automatic
replay.
- Add regressions, a production-component Storybook case, and
execution/connector documentation.

## Verification

- Red before the fix: cancellation provenance, dependency-wait
projection, the real queue cancellation, approved MCP failure
classification, saved interaction projection, and the error card
assertions failed at the expected behavior.
- Green focused tests: queue cancellation, one ready-task executor,
approval-before-dispatch, one failed GitHub request, connection reuse,
retained provider diagnostics, saved interaction reads, task list/detail
projection and redaction.
- UI: 106 component tests passed. Token gates and Storybook catalog
checks passed.
- `node scripts/typecheck-low-memory.mjs`: passed.
- Local source instance: verified a saved dependency wait stays neutral
after reload; a saved GitHub error shows repair guidance, expands its
original error, and opens the correct connection Permissions page.
PostgreSQL and HTTP APIs were real. The GitHub denial was a controlled
MCP fixture; no account or provider permission changed.
- `pnpm build`: passed for all workspace packages, the Runner binary,
server, CLI and UI. The server build and all server typecheck layers
also passed after the review repair.
- Additional safety checks passed for realistic repository arguments,
active recovery, failed Retry preparation, and bounded provider
diagnostics.
- Review repair: 45 pure tests and 7 PostgreSQL cases passed. These
cover both historical error codes, renamed apps, and
company/provider/application identity boundaries. A second local browser
check verified the renamed app, retained error detail, and correct
Permissions destination.
- Final review regressions: the dispatcher and metadata cases failed
before the repair. Afterward, 25 focused cases and 59
projection/identity cases passed, including connection-key precedence.
The native wait and app-only GitHub source also passed a local browser
check.
- The historical read adds at most one connection query per interaction
read batch. It selects IDs and the provider key only and runs only for
candidate permission failures. It adds no provider requests.
- Full local `pnpm test:run` stopped at the chat suite's `afterAll`
cleanup timeout. All 268 assertions in that group and the three prior
chat groups passed. The failure is retained here; it is not counted as a
full-suite pass. CI passed on `e8a692e1e2` after one workspace-startup
rerun. Fresh CI is pending for the combined head. Its first workspace-a
attempt timed out in the CLI company import/export test's child-server
startup wait; 4,968 UI tests and 287 CLI tests passed in that job. The
same shard passed on the preceding commit. The workspace shard passed on
its one rerun. All other test, build and browser jobs passed. The [first
failure](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42093823928/job/127478869941)
is retained in the Actions history. Greptile reviewed the preceding head
at 5/5. Fresh review is pending for the combined head.

## Risks

The GitHub classifier matches the documented permission-denial phrase,
not every 403. Rate limits, missing resources and other providers retain
their existing error behavior. Historical normalization affects display
only. A dependency cancellation needs an unstarted run and a supported
queue receipt; current user gates, Retry preparation and recovery remain
authoritative. No schema migration or credential changes.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6, through the Codex agent. The exact runtime model ID and
context-window size are not exposed in this session. Used reasoning,
repository tools, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, MCP fixtures and browser
verification. The parallel agent-recovery commit records Anthropic
Claude Opus 5.5 as co-author.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 ffd9591ab4 fix(recovery): preserve cancelled files after a reusable sandbox stops (#19305)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A native run writes its task files in a remote sandbox. The task
workspace records that run as its writer until the files are saved.
> - When a user stops or reassigns a run, the cancelled-workspace
preservation worker records the unsaved files as file recovery work.
> - A warm run (`keep_running`) that is not successful releases its
reusable sandbox through stop-and-retain. That release can finish before
the worker sees a terminal coordinator.
> - The worker accepted only an active lease or a released ephemeral
lease. It ignored the released reusable lease, so it never recorded the
file recovery.
> - The workspace kept the ended writer's hold. Each successor run
waited, then failed with "The workspace still has an unfinished writer
or save operation" after the one-hour cutoff.
> - This pull request accepts a released reusable lease that has a
confirmed stop-and-retain receipt as a preservation source.
> - The benefit is that the stopped run's files become recovery work,
and the task is not stranded behind a hold that nothing settles.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18820 (preserves files when Stop finds no live controller). Refs
#17677 (schedules cancelled workspace preservation). Refs #19285 (parks
a workspace wait behind an ended writer).

**What happened?**

A board user reassigned a task during a warm native run. Stop cancelled
the run with `issue_reassigned`, and the Stop acknowledgement was
recorded. The executor settled the coordinator to `terminal_failure`
with no owner. About eight seconds later, terminal release stopped and
retained the reusable Daytona sandbox. The lease became `released` with
`leasePolicy: reuse_by_environment`, a `stopped` termination receipt and
a stop-and-retain receipt. The task workspace stayed `dirty` with
`writerRunId` set to the cancelled run. No file recovery was recorded.
The new assignee's runs waited as `workspace_busy` for one hour. Then
each run failed `setup_failed`, and the task became blocked.

The heartbeat run row showed `nativePhase: "observed"`. That value is
stale: the checkpoint persist wrote it during teardown. The coordinator
itself was `terminal_failure`: the run's execution projection was
`recovery_needed` with no matching recovery action.

**Expected behavior**

The preservation worker records the stopped run's prepared files as file
recovery work. The lease keeps its release status and receipts. No
second stop and no new provider turn start.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Cancel a native run with an acknowledged run-only Stop. Its remote
workspace reference is `prepared`, and the coordinator is
`terminal_failure` with no owner.
2. Release its reusable lease through stop-and-retain (`released`,
`reuse_by_environment`, confirmed stop receipt).
3. Run the cancelled-workspace preservation worker or the startup scan.
4. On master, the run has no `workspaceRestoreRecovery`, and no recovery
action exists.

## What Changed

-
`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-failed-workspace-recovery.ts`:
add one source check, `cancelledWorkspaceSource`, for cancelled
preservation. The worker check and the startup scan both use it. It
keeps the active and ephemeral cases. It adds a released reusable lease
only when the stop-and-retain receipt is confirmed
(`hasConfirmedSandboxStopAndRetain`) and `preparedRemoteWorkspaceSource`
proves the exact remote-workspace binding. This is the same proof the
restore recorder uses. Native-sync runs have no such proof and stay
ineligible. An ineligible source causes no run write or notification.
- The restore recorder (`preserveLegacyWorkspaceRestoreSources`) already
accepts this source. It checks the confirmed receipt and the exact
prepared workspace binding, and it keeps the lease status, policy and
receipts. This pull request does not change it.
- `native-cancelled-workspace-preservation.test.ts`: add the incident
shape as a regression for the worker and the startup scan, and add
safety cases.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: document the stopped reusable source and
the writer hold until recovery.

## Verification

From `server`:

```sh
npx vitest run src/services/native-runtime/native-cancelled-workspace-preservation.test.ts
```

- Red before the fix: the two new regression cases failed (`expected {
nativeCancellation: … } to match object { …, workspaceRestoreRecovery: …
}`). 30 other cases passed.
- Green after the fix: 36 passed.
- Review follow-up: the cases `invalid-receipt`, `expired-lease` and
`native-sync` failed on the previous head 1d461b4605. The scan or the
worker rewrote the run row. These cases pass now. Each case runs the
worker and two scans, then asserts that the run row and the lease row
are unchanged.
- Recovery-time fencing: after preservation,
`inspectWorkspaceRecoverySource` rejects with `workspace_writer_active`
while a task run is running. It rejects with
`allocation_ownership_ambiguous` when a later lease shares the
allocation.
- The regression checks: recovery recorded with the lease ID, run still
`cancelled` with `issue_reassigned`, lease row unchanged (status, policy
and receipts), one recovery action, recovery source inspection finds one
source, the worker disarms, and a repeated pass records nothing again
and creates no run or wake.
- Safety cases, all with no recovery record and unchanged run and lease
rows: a live coordinator owner, a `pending` (not acknowledged) Stop, a
lease without a stop receipt, an invalid receipt, an expired lease, a
native-sync run, and a `running` run.
- Affected suites were run locally: `native-failed-workspace-recovery`,
`native-workspace-reconstruction`, `workspace-recovery`,
`remote-workspaces.integration`, `native-environment-settlement-work`,
`server-startup-feedback-export`, `heartbeat/run-control`,
`heartbeat-remote-workspace-busy`. On a heavily loaded machine, some
cases timed out at 30 s. A rerun of those two files passed 135/135
tests; one file still reported a 30 s hook timeout. CI runs these
suites.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` passes.
- Not done: a live staging run. The fix is not deployed.

## Risks

- Low. The new source applies only to a cancelled native run that has an
acknowledged run-only Stop, a terminal coordinator with no owner and no
accepted result, a prepared workspace reference, and a confirmed
stop-and-retain receipt for the same run, lease and allocation.
- Preservation records recovery work only. It does not stop the sandbox
again, change the lease policy, or grant execute rights. Recovery later
checks live owners and retired predecessors before it uses the sandbox.
- The writer hold on the workspace does not change. Successor runs still
wait until recovery saves the files, so unsaved files are not
overwritten. The one-hour cutoff stays.

## Model Used

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

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 8464a8c9ae fix(native): settle a bootstrap retry that lost its task lock (#19307)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A native run that fails before any provider work gets a bounded
same-run bootstrap retry. Restart recovery decides whether that retry
can run.
> - The retry needs the task's issue lock. A user comment or another
wake can move that lock to a new run before the retry is due.
> - Restart recovery then returned `issue_execution_lock_changed`
without a write. The same check ran on every recovery pass and never
ended. The coordinator stayed `retryable_failure`.
> - The orphaned-lease sweep waits for a terminal coordinator before it
preserves the workspace. So the sandbox lease stayed active, and every
later run for the task was cancelled as `workspace_busy`.
> - This pull request gives a lock-lost bootstrap retry the same bounded
admission that a superseded remote retry already has.
> - The benefit is that the retry settles, the board gets a
reconciliation action, and the sandbox lease is released instead of
blocking the task.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists. Bug description:

**What happened?**

On a hosted instance, a native agent run failed at startup because the
provider rejected `session.open` with a rate limit. Paperclip scheduled
a same-run bootstrap retry. Seconds later, a new run for the task took
its issue lock, most likely woken by a user comment. From then on, every
restart recovery pass for the old run returned `blocked` /
`issue_execution_lock_changed` and wrote nothing. The run recorded about
1,000 recovery events over 12 hours. Its coordinator stayed
`retryable_failure` with `recoveryMode: bootstrap_retry`. The scoped
orphaned-lease sweep found a pending workspace export for the lease. It
could not preserve the workspace, because
`preserveNativeFailedWorkspace` requires `terminal_failure`. So the
lease stayed `active`, and 16 later runs for the task were cancelled as
`workspace_busy`. Three more runs on the same instance were stuck in the
same state. A board Stop on the failed run moved the coordinator to
`terminal_failure`, and the sweep then released the lease within about a
minute.

**Expected behavior**

A bootstrap retry that cannot get its task lock back settles within a
bounded number of recovery passes. The coordinator reaches
`terminal_failure`, the board gets a reconciliation action, and the
existing orphaned-lease sweep can preserve the workspace and release the
sandbox lease.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Fail a native remote run before provider work, so its coordinator is
`retryable_failure` with `recoveryMode: bootstrap_retry`.
2. Move the task's `executionRunId` to a newer run for the same task, or
clear it.
3. Run `claimNativeRestartRecoveries` for the failed run.
4. Before this change, it returns `blocked` with no `retryAt`, and the
coordinator stays `retryable_failure` on every pass. The new tests in
`native-remote-retry-admission.test.ts` reproduce this.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Observed on a hosted deployment. Reproduced in tests on `master` at
`10a7d039c8e`.

Related: #19190 (a `session.open` model rejection no longer schedules a
doomed bootstrap retry), #19131 (preserve superseded observed
workspaces) and #19281 (release the leases of a cancelled legacy run).
None of them changes this admission path.

## What Changed

- **Restart recovery
(`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-restart-recovery.ts`)**: a
new condition, `lockLostBootstrapRetry`, matches a failed run whose
coordinator is `retryable_failure` with `recoveryMode: bootstrap_retry`
and whose issue lock is not on the run.
- A newer run for the task: the existing superseded check now covers
this case too. It defers with `native_retry_source_superseded` as
permanent, so admission is exhausted at once.
- No newer run (the lock was released): recovery defers with
`issue_execution_lock_changed` through the existing `deferRemoteRetry`.
That path persists a deadline, backs off and exhausts after the system
recovery budget.
- When admission is exhausted, the existing hold path writes
`terminal_failure` / `native_restart_recovery_blocked`, keeps the
provider evidence and creates the board reconciliation action. This PR
adds no new terminal path.
- A bootstrap retry that still holds its own lock is unchanged. The
exact-checkpoint remote retry path is unchanged.
- **Docs (`doc/execution-semantics.md`)**: the bootstrap retry section
now states the lock-lost rule.

## Verification

- New test `settles a %s bootstrap retry that lost its task lock instead
of re-checking forever` in
`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-remote-retry-admission.test.ts`,
for the `superseded` and `released` cases. The fixture is a genuine
pre-provider failure: a `session.open` rejection with no session
checkpoint, no runner checkpoint row and no provider evidence.
- On `master` without the fix, both cases fail: recovery returns
`blocked` without a deadline, and the coordinator stays
`retryable_failure`.
- With the fix, `superseded` settles on the first pass, and `released`
settles after `SYSTEM_RECOVERY_MAX_RETRIES` deferred passes. Each
deferred pass persists its `nextAttemptAt`. Both end in
`terminal_failure` with one board recovery action, and later passes open
no transaction.
- `npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-remote-retry-admission.test.ts` (from
`server/`): 92 passed.
- Related suites, each run on its own with exit code 0:
`native-ingress-bootstrap-retry`, `native-startup-retry`,
`native-scheduled-resume-lock`, `native-restart-recovery-isolation`,
`native-runner-restart-recovery`, `native-runner-restart-preparation`,
`native-runner-restart-diskless`, `native-warm-transition-restart`,
`native-controller-recovery`, `native-failed-workspace-recovery`,
`native-session-resumption`, `native-startup-cleanup-recovery`,
`heartbeat-observed-workspace-preservation`, `heartbeat/recovery`,
`runtime-selection`, `remote-workspace-migration` and
`native-session-executor` (1,149 tests). Two other suites each had one
local failure that this change does not cause:
- `heartbeat-process-recovery`: "redacts opaque environment-bound
credentials from Sentry diagnostics" fails the same way on this machine
without the change.
- `chat-channels.integration`: "settles a shared-endpoint
accepted-response backlog without retrying its own locks" failed once
under full-suite load. It passes alone, with and without the change.
- `pnpm run typecheck` in `server/`: passed.

## Risks

- Low to medium. The change only affects failed bootstrap retries whose
lock is not on the run. Before this change, such a retry could never
run, so no working path is removed.
- A released lock that comes back to the same run during the backoff
still resumes normally, because the condition reads the current lock on
each pass.
- When the retry settles, the task gets a board reconciliation action.
Before this change, the task was silently stuck behind `workspace_busy`.
- No migration and no API change.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) in Claude Code, with tool use
(shell, code search, test runs), extended thinking, and a read-only
investigation subagent for the root cause.

DottaandPaperclip 55389554c2 fix(runner): paginate workspace discovery before journal persistence (#19311)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native agents discover reusable workspaces through
`list_workspaces`.
> - The tool returned every authorized workspace in one result.
> - A large inventory exceeded the durable command journal limit. The
result stayed pending, and session cleanup blocked the next turn.
> - This pull request limits discovery in SQL and returns explicit
continuation metadata.
> - Agents can inspect every authorized workspace without sending the
full inventory in one command.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #15749 introduced the task workspace tools. No duplicate
pagination fix was found.

**What happened?**

A native workspace discovery call returned a multi-megabyte inventory.
Persisting its result failed with `command_payload_too_large`. The
preceding answer could still be saved, but cleanup retained the
unsettled tool call. A later turn failed before provider work with
`native_session_cleanup_quarantined`.

**Expected behavior**

Workspace discovery must return a manageable page. Agents must be able
to request the remaining authorized rows. Existing visibility checks and
journal integrity checks must stay effective.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create 2,000 task-selectable workspaces with ordinary repository
paths.
2. Call `list_workspaces` from an admitted native run.
3. On the old code, the real API regression returns 869,781 bytes. The
command journal allows about 510 KiB.
4. On the repaired code, follow `nextCursor` to inspect all rows. Pages
contain at most 100 rows and fit within 128 KiB.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on source commit `7351a9d74f` before the repair.

**Deployment mode**

Isolated source checkout with real PostgreSQL and authenticated native
agent APIs. Hosted deployment and incident recovery remain separate.

## What Changed

- Validate workspace list limits and UUID cursors with a JSON Schema
pattern supported by strict validators. Return `workspaces`, `limit`,
`returnedCount`, `hasMore`, and `nextCursor`.
- Apply company, visibility, lifecycle, and cursor conditions before the
SQL limit. Order pages by workspace ID. Fetch one extra row to detect
continuation without a count query.
- Fit encoded pages within 128 KiB, including JSON escaping and Unicode.
If one summary cannot fit, return explicit string previews with
`truncatedFields`. The authorized detail API retains its full record.
- Keep existing unpaged summary callers on their array response and
recent-use order.
- Update the native tool descriptor, generated contracts, catalog
fixture, and execution documentation.
- Add regression coverage for large inventories, complete pagination,
stable pages, private and foreign rows, invalid inputs, and legacy
summary behavior. Add an opt-in two-turn live Codex acceptance check.

## Verification

- Red before repair: `task-workspace-api.test.ts -t "pages a large
authorized workspace inventory"` failed because the result was 869,781
bytes instead of below 128 KiB. The transport regression also failed at
2,284,671 bytes.
- Green after repair and review changes: 120 tests passed across the
workspace API, transport, routes, native authority, coordinator,
historical-question, and Codex vertical-slice suites. They cover
complete discovery, byte-sized pages, oversized individual summaries,
full detail retrieval, private/foreign/lifecycle exclusions, and strict
schema compatibility.
- Journal safety: two focused durable control-plane tests passed.
Oversized result rejection and lossless valid result delivery remain
effective.
- Tool catalog and reconciliation: 30 tests passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed.
- `pnpm build`: passed again on final commit `bc10880da6`. Server
typecheck also passed after the review changes. The original affected
suites passed on the rebased first commit (31 tests), and the expanded
review regression set passed afterward (120 tests).
- Real provider acceptance passed again on final commit `bc10880da6`:
local macOS arm64, rebuilt native Runner, `gpt-6.1-sol`, high effort,
per-turn lifecycle, and 2,000 persisted workspaces. Both turns
succeeded. Persisted call inputs and results prove that the second page
uses the first result’s cursor, both calls succeed, their IDs do not
overlap, and the encoded results stay within 128 KiB. The second turn
kept the provider conversation and file. Both task locks were clear
after completion, and no recovered execution failure was recorded.
Duration: 166.92 seconds.
- Full local `pnpm test:run` stopped in the chat shard: 330 tests passed
and one Slack registration test failed with `socket hang up`. That exact
test passed in isolation without changes, and the final-head CI chat
shards passed. A broader local managed-Slack follow-up produced no
result after about eight minutes and was interrupted; it is not counted
as a pass. The original full-suite failure remains recorded.
- The first CI head failed native tool-schema compilation because strict
validators did not recognize `format: uuid`. The revised descriptor uses
a UUID pattern. The previously failing coordinator, native
vertical-slice, authority, and history suites now pass locally. The
stronger live cursor-receipt acceptance check passed. Final-head CI
completed on `bc10880da6`: 57 checks passed and five optional checks
were skipped, with no failures or pending checks. Greptile reviewed that
commit at 5/5; both prior findings are resolved.
- Dependency cost: paged discovery runs the existing visibility-scoped
summary query with an ID cursor and at most 101 returned rows. It adds
no count query, filesystem scan, provider call, or background worker.

## Risks

- Native `list_workspaces` now returns a page object instead of an
array. Individual summaries can be explicit previews when a single
record exceeds the byte budget. Its advertised descriptor and generated
contracts change together. Agents must follow `nextCursor` until null
for a complete inventory.
- Each page rechecks current visibility. Concurrent insertions,
deletions, or access changes require a fresh scan when a complete
point-in-time inventory is needed.
- No migration or journal-limit change. An existing cleanup quarantine
still requires normal recovery after deployment; this PR does not bypass
it.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip a695398052 fix(server): preserve inactive rebase bookmarks in workspace snapshots (#19310)
Preserve a validated standalone REBASE_HEAD and its commit without changing the source workspace. Keep active Git operations, unmerged indexes, invalid markers and concurrent changes blocked.

Verified 156 affected tests, workspace typecheck and build. All hosted CI checks passed, and Greptile scored the exact head 5/5 with no unresolved threads. The bounded full local suite stopped during its fifth chat shard; this incomplete result is recorded in the PR.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 5de779848b fix(recovery): save a reassignment-stopped writer's files from its stopped reusable sandbox (#19304)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A remote task workspace stays held by its last writer run until that
writer's files are saved
> - A reassignment stops the old owner's run. The stopped writer still
holds the workspace with unsaved files.
> - When the run used a reusable (warm) sandbox, the stop leaves its
lease `released` under the reusable policy, with a stop-and-retain
receipt
> - Cancelled-workspace preservation only admitted `active` or
`ephemeral` sources. It never recorded the save for this stopped writer,
so no workspace recovery ran, and the hold stayed forever
> - The new owner waited, then failed setup after the one-hour cutoff
with "The workspace still has an unfinished writer or save operation"
> - This pull request admits the stopped reusable source, so Paperclip
saves the stopped writer's files and releases the hold. A waiter keeps
waiting while that save is in progress.
> - The benefit is that a reassigned task continues with the old owner's
saved work, and the new owner does not fail setup

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19285 (parks a waiter behind an ended writer). Refs #19074,
#18820.

**What happened?**
A board user reassigned a task during a native run on a reusable
sandbox. The old run was cancelled with `issue_reassigned`. Its sandbox
was stopped and its lease was released under `reuse_by_environment`. The
workspace still named the stopped run as its dirty writer. No save
operation and no workspace recovery action were ever recorded for that
run. The new owner's runs were cancelled `workspace_busy` repeatedly.
After more than an hour, a new run failed setup: "The workspace still
has an unfinished writer or save operation."

**Expected behavior**
Paperclip saves the stopped writer's files from its stopped sandbox
within a bounded time and releases the hold. The new owner waits for
that save and then continues. If the save cannot finish, its retries end
with a named board recovery action.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Give a native run a prepared remote workspace on a lease with policy
`reuse_by_environment`.
2. Stop the run (for example by reassignment), so the lease is stopped
and released with a stop-and-retain receipt.
3. Run cancelled-workspace preservation. Before this fix, it records
nothing, and the writer hold stays.

## What Changed

- `native-failed-workspace-recovery.ts`: Cancelled-workspace
preservation (the delivery worker and the startup scan) now admits a
`released` reusable lease with a stopped termination receipt and a
stop-and-retain receipt.
- `preserveNativeFailedWorkspace` retains such a reusable source only
with the exact confirmed stop-and-retain receipt, and only while the
workspace is still bound to that writer
(`preparedRemoteWorkspaceSource`). Otherwise it writes nothing.
- `remote-workspace-writer-hold.ts`: For an ended writer, the holder
cutoff now uses the latest progress of an in-progress save of that
writer's retained files (a workspace recovery that is not complete,
exhausted, or recovered). Reservation and the parked `workspace_busy`
wait both read this rule. A waiter waits for the save instead of failing
setup.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: Documents the stopped reusable source
and the save-progress cutoff.

## Verification

- Red before the fix, green after:
- `npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-cancelled-workspace-preservation.test.ts`
— new cases "preserves a reassignment-stopped writer's files from its
stopped reusable sandbox" (worker and startup scan) failed before the
fix: no `workspaceRestoreRecovery` was recorded.
- `npx vitest run src/__tests__/heartbeat-remote-workspace-busy.test.ts`
— new cases "keeps a waiter parked while an ended writer's save is in
progress" failed before the fix: the parked retry was released past the
cutoff.
- Safety cases:
- A reusable source without a confirmed stop, a workspace now owned by
another writer, and an already saved workspace are not retained, and the
run row does not change. (The writer and saved cases fail if the new
guard is removed.)
- Preservation does not replay the stopped run, does not create a wake,
keeps the stop receipt and lease policy unchanged, and keeps the writer
hold until the save publishes.
- An exhausted or complete save does not extend the cutoff. The existing
past-cutoff test (no save in progress) still fails setup and keeps the
held files.
- Related suites: workspace recovery, remote workspace reservation,
native workspace reconstruction, native failed-workspace recovery,
legacy workspace restore recovery.
- Not verified on staging: this change is not deployed. The staging task
needs this fix deployed. Then the preservation worker records the save,
workspace recovery saves the files, and the waiting owner continues.

## Risks

- More cancelled runs are now admitted for preservation. The retention
guard requires the exact stop-and-retain receipt and the workspace bound
to this writer, so a reusable sandbox that another run resumed or that
no longer holds unsaved work is not retained.
- A stopped reusable source stays `reuse_by_environment` while Paperclip
saves it. This matches the existing retention path for reusable native
sources.
- The writer-hold read adds one indexed query
(`issue_recovery_actions_source_run_idx`) for an ended writer only.

DottaandPaperclip 7351a9d74f fix(native): restore retired backups after warm lease handoffs (#19299)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and keeps their work across turns.
> - A native session can keep the same sandbox through several warm
lease handoffs.
> - Each handoff keeps the old lease row and records matching receipts
on both owners.
> - The retired-backup guard required exactly one row for a provider
allocation.
> - That rule rejected valid history after Paperclip destroyed the
sandbox.
> - This change uses the existing handoff proof to select the final
owner.
> - A verified backup can then restore without discarding ownership
checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19208.

**What happened?**

A follow-up received a new sandbox after its old sandbox was destroyed.
The old allocation had a normal warm lease handoff. Both lease rows
remained in PostgreSQL. The guard rejected them with
`runner_harness_state_mismatch: backup_without_reusable_lease`. Its
later same-run retry failed with
`native_remote_recovery_lease_mismatch`.

**Expected behavior**

Restore the verified backup when one final owner has a valid destroyed
receipt and every earlier owner has a matching handoff receipt. Keep
uncertain ownership blocked.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Complete a native warm turn.
2. Hand the reusable sandbox to another turn.
3. Complete that turn and save its backup.
4. Close the workspace and destroy the sandbox.
5. Send a follow-up. The new allocation must restore the saved session.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced in the PostgreSQL regression on the parent of this change.
The affected deployed build also contains #19208.

## What Changed

- Select the single final lease owner. Validate all predecessor rows
with `retiredReusableLeasePredecessors`.
- Keep the destroyed receipt, exact backup stamp, and
newer-provider-work checks.
- Add database regressions for one and three handoffs. Reject missing or
changed receipts, an active predecessor, missing history, an unrelated
owner, a stopped source, another backup, and later provider work.
- Document the valid lease-history shape.

## Verification

- Red before the source change: the two valid-handoff cases returned
false. The other 16 database cases passed.
- Green after the change: all 18 database cases passed. They also passed
on current head `d16e098b8c2e6c0dda70984c1df21e3dc792ab34`.
- Command: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-retired-backup-source.integration.test.ts`.
- The database, executor, retry-admission, and lease suites passed: 4
files, 1,308 tests.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed. The build stamp names
head `4ee733c3a979436196522f36537ff182e9df5398`. The full local suite
stopped in chat shard 3 after a 15-second timeout in `materializes
direct external-chat finals once and accepts the next turn without agent
bookkeeping writes`. Earlier shards passed 702 cases; that shard passed
303 other cases. The isolated test passes on this branch and unchanged
master `10a7d039c8efeac0fd655c24970df5ae3658414b`. All current-head CI
chat shards also passed. The earlier full-suite attempt remains failed;
its timeout cause is not established. No test or timeout was changed. CI
is waiting for its last Runner job.
- Current head `d16e098b8c2e6c0dda70984c1df21e3dc792ab34` removes four
comment lines from the previously tested head. Its 18 database cases
passed. Greptile reviewed this head at 5/5 with no actionable findings:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/19299#issuecomment-6665446098.
CI remains pending.
- Live inspection found the matching predecessor/successor receipts and
the final owner's destroyed receipt. This was read-only evidence from
the affected build.
- A live provider run at the fixed revision has not been exercised.
Local Daytona credentials and an immutable test image are unavailable.
No deployment or original-task retry is claimed.
- Initial wider tests could not resolve the unbuilt plugin SDK. The SDK
build is now available. A sandboxed database launch could not bind
loopback; the same regression passed with the disposable database
outside that restriction.

## Risks

- A wrong owner could allow an old backup to rewind a session. The
shared validator must account for every lease row and match both sides
of each handoff.
- Live, unrelated, incomplete, or conflicting history stays blocked. The
existing backup integrity and provider-progress checks remain.
- No migration, permission, model, trust, timeout, or retry-policy
change is included.
- The original task still needs the fixed build and normal recovery.
Hosted acceptance remains unverified.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 10a7d039c8 fix(dispatch): keep a workspace wait parked while an ended writer's save settles (#19285)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A run that finds its task workspace held by another run waits as a
`workspace_busy` scheduled retry. #19143 keeps that wait as one parked
retry while the holder is live.
> - A remote task workspace stays held by its last writer run until the
writer's save and sandbox release settle. This hold continues after the
writer run ends, for example when a reassignment stops the writer.
> - The parked-wait check counted only a `running` holder. For an ended
writer whose save had not settled, it released the waiter at each due
check. Preparation deferred again, cancelled the run, and created a new
retry run.
> - After a mid-run reassignment, the new owner got five cancelled
`workspace_busy` runs in eleven minutes, and the task did no work.
> - This pull request makes the parked wait use the same writer-hold
rule as workspace reservation, so the waiter stays parked until the hold
releases.
> - The benefit is one durable wait, one start when the hold releases,
and no churn of cancelled runs.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19143 (parks a workspace-busy wait). Refs #19184 (releases a
recovered hold for a new assignee after reassignment).

**What happened?**
A board user reassigned a task in the middle of a run. The old run was
cancelled with `issue_reassigned`. The new assignee's runs were each
created, started and cancelled with `workspace_busy`: "Shared execution
workspace is busy: run … ended, but its workspace save has not settled".
This repeated every 1–2 minutes (five cancelled runs in 11 minutes).
Every cancellation named the stopped run of the previous assignee as the
holder. The new assignee's other tasks were not the holder.

**Expected behavior**
The reassigned task waits as one parked retry. It starts once when the
stopped writer's save and sandbox release settle. The wait stops at the
one-hour holder cutoff.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Give a task a remote execution workspace whose writer run has ended,
but whose save has not settled (`writerRunId` set, `dirty: true`).
2. Wake the task's assignee. The run defers with `workspace_busy` and
schedules a retry.
3. Make the retry due and promote scheduled retries. Before this fix,
the retry is promoted and dispatched, defers again, and creates another
run.

## What Changed

- New `server/src/services/remote-workspace-writer-hold.ts`:
`readRemoteWorkspaceWriterHold` holds the rule for who holds a remote
workspace (a running writer, or an ended writer whose save or sandbox
release has not settled). The code is moved from
`reserveRemoteWorkspace` without a behavior change.
- `reserveRemoteWorkspace` uses that function. It throws the same errors
as before.
- `parkWorkspaceBusyRetryInTx` (from #19143): when the recorded holder
is not running, it reads the same hold for the waited execution
workspace. If the recorded holder is an ended writer that still holds
it, the retry stays parked. The cutoff clock starts at the writer's end,
the same value that reservation measures. Earlier waiters keep their
arrival order.
- New `WORKSPACE_BUSY_SETTLING_RECHECK_MS` (60 s). Settling has no
single completion point that can wake the waiter, so a wait behind a
settling writer re-checks every minute. Each check creates no run. In
the promotion transaction it reads the workspace, the writer run, its
task, and the writer's leases (one row per sandbox lease of that run).
The checks last only while the wait exists, up to the one-hour cutoff.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: documents the parked wait behind a
settling writer.

## Verification

- Red before the fix: `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-remote-workspace-busy.test.ts`. The two new
tests failed: the due retry was promoted (`expected [ … ] to not include
'<retry id>'`).
- Green after the fix, with:
- `parks one waiter while an ended writer's save settles, then admits it
once the hold releases`: three due checks keep one parked run, each
re-check is bounded by the writer's end plus one hour, there is one
`workspace_busy` cancellation in total and no new retry run. After the
hold releases, the next check promotes the same run.
- `stops parking behind an ended writer once its unsettled save reaches
the holder cutoff`: parked before the cutoff, promoted after it
(preparation then fails with the existing unfinished-writer error).
- Existing suites pass: `heartbeat-workspace-busy.test.ts` (live-holder
parking, arrival order, stop, workspace move), `modules/run-dispatch`,
`remote-workspace-reservation.test.ts`,
`remote-workspaces.integration.test.ts`,
`isolated-remote-workspace-source.test.ts`,
`heartbeat/workspace-preparation.test.ts` (476 tests in all).
- `tsc --noEmit` for `server` shows no errors in the changed files.
- Not done: a live run on staging. The fix is not deployed.

## Risks

- Low. Parking applies only to a retry that recorded a `workspace_busy`
wait on an execution workspace whose recorded writer is that holder. If
the hold settles, moves to another run, or the task changes workspace,
the retry is released to normal dispatch as before.
- The wait stays bounded by the existing one-hour holder cutoff from the
writer's end. After that, preparation fails as before. A user can still
stop the parked run.
- One writer per workspace is unchanged. Reservation still decides
admission with the same rule.
- The one-minute re-check runs only while a wait exists. It is not idle
polling.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 b05d3db2b3 fix(recovery): continue a pre-turn interrupt after recovery, not after the destroy (#19292)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A board user can interrupt a native run with a comment. The next
turn should start soon after the run stops
> - When the stop leaves sandbox files unsaved, recovery saves them,
re-stops the sandbox, and then queues the destroy for an ephemeral lease
> - #19224 kept the verified stop on that lease as
`workspaceRecoveryCleanup.stopReceipt`, and taught the continuation
gates to accept it
> - One gate was missed: `acknowledgedNativeStopExecutionHasStopped`. An
interrupt that lands before the provider turn opens leaves no gating
hold, so the saved comment goes through this gate, not through the
explicit continuation gate
> - That gate still wanted the raw `remoteExecutionTermination` receipt,
so the comment waited about 5 minutes for the destroy retry
> - This pull request lets that gate accept the carried-forward stop
receipt too
> - The benefit is that an interrupt during startup continues right
after recovery, as #19224 intended for every lease policy

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19224
Refs #19206

**What happened?**
On hosted staging, an `interrupt: true` comment reached a native run of
an ephemeral-lease agent while the run was still in startup (the
provider pack upload). The run stopped before any provider turn.
Recovery saved its files at once. The follow-up turn started about 6
minutes after the interrupt. The stopped run's lease was released by
`pending_cleanup_retry`, and the follow-up started 2 seconds later.
Agents whose interrupt landed after the provider turn opened continued
in 30 to 50 seconds on the same build.

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

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Use an agent whose sandbox lease is ephemeral (destroy after each
turn).
2. Post an `interrupt: true` comment while its native run is still
starting, before the provider turn opens.
3. Let recovery save the files. See the follow-up start only after the
destroy retry releases the lease.

**Paperclip version or commit**
Hosted staging at `e37ab23d` (includes #19206 and #19224).

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/acknowledged-native-stop.ts`:
`acknowledgedNativeStopExecutionHasStopped` accepts a remote lease that
has `hasRemoteTerminationReceipt` or `hasRecoveredCleanupStopReceipt`.
Before, it accepted only the first one.
- `server/src/services/workspace-recovery.test.ts`: new regression for a
pre-turn interrupt on an ephemeral lease. Recovery completes, the
destroy is queued, and the saved comment is handed to
`resumeRemoteStopComments` twice. With a verified carried stop, exactly
one turn starts while the lease is still `pending_cleanup`. Without the
stop receipt, the comment stays deferred and no turn starts.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: one sentence that extends the #19224
paragraph to the pre-turn Stop case.

## Verification

- Red before the fix: `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/workspace-recovery.test.ts -t "starts the interrupt
redirect once after recovery"` failed the `verified-stop` case with
`expected [] to have a length of 1 but got +0`. The `no-stop-receipt`
case passed.
- Green after the fix: the same command passes both cases.
- `npx vitest run src/services/workspace-recovery.test.ts`: 382 passed.
- Related suites pass: `acknowledged-native-stop`,
`explicit-native-continuation`, `heartbeat/run-control`,
`heartbeat/recovery`, `heartbeat/native-stop-evidence-read`,
`native-session-executor`, `heartbeat-observed-workspace-preservation`,
`native-startup-cleanup-recovery`, `execution-control-work`. Two
`run-control` cases timed out at 30 s under parallel load and passed
when run alone.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` passes.
- Not done: a live re-run on staging. This change is not deployed.

## Risks

- Low risk. `hasRecoveredCleanupStopReceipt` is the same check #19224
added to the other gates. It is true only for a lease whose recovery
cleanup belongs to its own run, which was released, and whose carried
stop receipt matches the company, run, lease, provider, and provider
lease id. A lease without that receipt still blocks.
- The no-replay hold is unchanged. The successor still goes through
ordinary admission with all task gates. The test calls the resume twice
and sees one turn only.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

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

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

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13148
Refs #13379

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

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

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

## Risks

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19231

**What happened?**

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

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

**Paperclip version or commit**

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

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

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `47027e7ba5`.

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on master `56517dda6c5b32bc901b7dbf1605eaaa041c5fba`.

**Deployment mode**

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

**Paperclip version or commit**

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

**Deployment mode**

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19206

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

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

**Paperclip version or commit**

Base: `87dfba6818`.

**Deployment mode**

Legacy runtime with sandbox (Daytona) remote workspace storage.

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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