DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 566a97b882 fix(native): an unretirable predecessor sends the next attempt to a fresh sandbox (#20863)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs on a reused sandbox keep the previous run's warm Runner,
and a new run must retire that owner before it starts
> - #20844 retires the owner when Paperclip can prove it stopped. Some
owners can never be proven stopped: the controller journal drain
outlives the close grace, the Runner never confirms suspension, or a
parked question leaves a tool input unanswered
> - Then the new run failed before any provider work, and the task
stayed blocked with no automatic continuation
> - The general answer is to leave the old Runner on its sandbox and
start the next attempt on a fresh sandbox restored from the saved
workspace
> - This pull request adds that fallback for every path that retires a
predecessor, and settles a parked question's tool input once its Runner
is gone

that did no work

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
An automatic wake started a new run 30 to 60 seconds after a long
successful run on the same task, on the same reused sandbox. The new run
had to retire the previous run's warm session first. The retirement
failed and the run failed before any provider work, with one of:
- `Controller journal drain timed out; preserve the session before
replacing its writer.` (during instruction preparation, before runtime
selection, or in the executor);
- `provider_transport_failed: runner did not durably suspend before
checkpoint` (during instruction preparation);
- `runner_state_identity_mismatch:
prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate;
retirement_refused=journal_tool_input_unanswered` (the previous run had
parked on a question).
The tasks rested `blocked` with a reconciliation hold or with nothing
scheduled. One bounded retry reused the same sandbox and ended
`execution_finalization_deadline_exceeded`, then its recovery refused
with `allocation_ownership_ambiguous`.

**Expected behavior**
A run that did no provider work does not fail the task because its
predecessor cannot be retired. The next attempt drops the reused sandbox
and starts on a fresh one restored from the saved workspace. Unsaved
work is never dropped: when the workspace or the session backup is not
durably saved, the sandbox is kept and today's behavior applies.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Complete a warm native run on a Daytona sandbox.
2. Wake the task again so that the next run must retire the warm owner
(configuration change, new session, changed agent files).
3. Make the owner's close fail (journal drain timeout, unconfirmed
suspension).
4. The new run fails before provider work and the task is not continued.

Refs #20844, #18373.

## What Changed

- `native-runtime/predecessor-retirement.ts`: a typed pre-provider error
`NativePredecessorRetirementUnprovenError`
(`native_predecessor_retirement_unproven`) and the `replaceBeforeReuse`
lease marker.
- Native executor: every path that retires a predecessor for a new run
(instruction-copy claim, instruction-directory reservation, session
reset, configuration change) throws the typed error when the close
fails. The owner stays registered for its own sandbox, so no run on that
sandbox launches over it. A run on a different sandbox forgets that
owner instead of replaying its cached rejected close. The executor does
not settle this error as a provider failure.
- A prior-owner fence that refuses a terminal owner on a resumed sandbox
(`prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate`) also throws the typed
error.
- Retirement of a finished remote owner accepts an unanswered tool input
when the owner's committed result is a governed-wait park
(`response_wake` on a task interaction) and its Runner's sandbox lease
ended elsewhere.
- Heartbeat (`heartbeat/predecessor-retirement-fallback.ts`): on the
typed error with no execution-start evidence and no result, mark this
run's reusable lease on that sandbox `replaceBeforeReuse` and log
`environment.lease_replacement_requested`. After the run ends, `failRun`
hands the prepared workspace on only through the shared unchanged-files
proof (`proveRemoteWorkspaceUnchanged`; a provisioning command or any
runner command refuses it). With the proof it records
`predecessorRetirementFallback`, closes the run's coordinator without a
result and re-queues the run in the uncharged `interrupted_preparation`
lane (native and legacy runtime modes); a run that answered a task
interaction keeps its own wake in that uncharged lane, so the retry
still carries the answer. Without the proof the workspace stays dirty,
heartbeat runs today's failed-workspace preservation and no retry is
scheduled.
- Environment runtime: a marked lease is replaced instead of resumed,
under the same rule as a failed resume
(`reusableSandboxReplacementIsSafe`: run ended, clean workspace with a
committed save, verified harness backup). The old lease goes to
`pending_cleanup` for the sweep. Otherwise the sandbox is resumed as
before.
- Chaos: session fault SR1U, the SR1 variant where the retained owner
cannot be retired. The server gets a test-only fault
(`PAPERCLIP_TEST_WARM_RETIREMENT_FAULT=unconfirmed`, armed only when
`NODE_ENV=test`). The oracle allows only the fallback failure and
requires the succeeding follow-up on a different sandbox.
- Docs: `doc/plugins/PLUGIN_RUNNER_EXECUTION.md`, chaos README.

## Verification

- RED on master before this change (with #20844), then GREEN:
- `native-session-executor.test.ts -t "predecessor cannot be retired"`:
base fails with `Error: Controller journal drain timed out…` instead of
the typed error.
- `native-session-executor.test.ts -t "unretired predecessor"`
(instruction preparation): same base failure.
- `native-recovered-owner-followup.test.ts -t "unacknowledged"`: base
fails with `runner_state_identity_mismatch:
prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate;
retirement_refused=journal_tool_input_unanswered`.
- New contract tests: `heartbeat-native-predispatch-retry.test.ts`
(claimed native run: lease marked, activity logged, uncharged
`interrupted_preparation` retry, no recovery action, task not blocked,
retry succeeds) and
`environment-runtime-reusable-resume-replacement.test.ts` (a marked
lease is replaced without a resume; with unsaved work or no verified
backup it resumes as before),
`remote-workspace-unchanged-release.test.ts` (an untouched workspace is
handed on; a setup-written one stays dirty) and `retries.test.ts` (an
answered interaction re-queued in the uncharged lane stays a
resolved-interaction continuation with no failure retry spent).
- Existing suites pass: the native executor, recovered-owner follow-up,
instruction working copy, run completion, run failure cause and resume
replacement test files. `pnpm exec vitest run --config
tests/restart-chaos/vitest.config.ts question-handoff scheduler config`
passes. Server and chaos harness `tsc --noEmit` pass.
- Not run: a Daytona SR1U wave. It needs a runner image that matches
this checkout.

## Risks

- A sandbox marked for replacement is resumed when it cannot be replaced
safely. That run can meet the same unretired owner again, fail again in
the bounded lane, and then rest with Retry, as today.
- The replacement session restores the latest verified harness backup.
When the old Runner's final checkpoint was never saved, a same-session
continuation resumes from that backup.
- An unanswered tool input is accepted only for a committed
governed-wait park whose Runner's sandbox lease ended on another
sandbox.
- Previous-release story: the marker and the run record are additive
JSON. An older server ignores the marker and resumes the sandbox as
before.

DottaandClaude Fable 5.2 ffe05b1b7c fix(heartbeat): retry every pre-provider lease acquisition failure and rest it on Retry (#20857)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A task run takes an environment lease (for example a Daytona
sandbox) before the agent starts. No provider work happens before that
lease exists.
> - Only a provider HTTP status or a connection errno counted as a
transient lease failure. #20828 (merged while this was open) added the
Daytona acquisition deadline. A database error while the lease was
recorded, a plugin RPC deadline, and an unfinished provisional creation
still did not count.
> - Those failures became a generic `setup_failed` with no bounded
retry. And when the bounded retries of any
`environment_provider_unavailable` failure were used up, recovery still
put the task on a board-owned `stranded_assigned_issue` action.
> - A hosted instance saw this for six runs in 45 minutes when
concurrent runs rose from about 8 to about 20. Two tasks stayed blocked
and waited for the board.
> - This pull request classifies every lease acquisition failure that
has structured transient evidence as `environment_provider_unavailable`.
When the bounded retries are used up, the task rests on a system-owned
action and a working Retry.
> - It also adds the restart-chaos fault EP1, so the harness covers
lease acquisition failures from now on.
> - The benefit is that a busy or slow sandbox provider no longer
strands tasks on the board.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists.

**What happened?**

Five runs failed with `Failed to acquire lease for environment
"Paperclip Sandbox" (sandbox): Daytona lease acquisition timed out;
allocation cleanup is pending` after 5 to 6 minutes in `preparing`. One
run failed with `Database query failed (lease_acquire_failed)` within 10
seconds. Every run recorded `executionRecovery: { kind: "bootstrap",
providerWorkStarted: false }`, but the error code was `setup_failed`. No
run got a bounded retry. Two tasks were left `blocked` with a
board-owned `stranded_assigned_issue` recovery action.

**Expected behavior**

A lease acquisition failure happens before any provider work. The run
must retry with a bounded, visible backoff. When the bound is used up,
the task must rest with a Retry that works, and no board-owned recovery
action.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Make lease acquisition fail with the provider's acquisition deadline
(the validated acquisition diagnostic that the environment runtime
records), or with a database driver error.
2. Let the run start.
3. Before this change, the run fails with `setup_failed`, no retry is
scheduled, and recovery creates a board-owned `stranded_assigned_issue`
action.

## What Changed

**How this PR and #20828 divide the problem.** #20828 (merged) makes the
Daytona plugin end a stuck create early and classifies the
acquisition-deadline envelope as `environment_provider_unavailable`.
This PR does not change the Daytona plugin or that deadline path. It
adds only what #20828 leaves out:
- a lease-acquisition failure that is not a create timeout: the plugin
RPC deadline (`-32003`) and an unfinished provisional creation recorded
for this run;
- a transient database error while the lease is recorded;
- the exhausted state: a system-owned recovery action and Retry instead
of a board-owned `stranded_assigned_issue`, for every
`environment_provider_unavailable` cause (including #20828's);
- the chaos fault EP1 (EP1, EP1N, EP1D).

- `readTransientLeaseAcquisitionFailure`
(`server/src/services/environment-provider-unavailable-error.ts`)
classifies a lease acquisition failure as transient when it has
structured evidence: the provider status or errno (as before), the run's
own validated acquisition diagnostic (deadline or unfinished provisional
creation), the plugin RPC deadline, or a transient database error (a
postgres.js connection code, or SQLSTATE class 08 or 53, 57P01-57P03,
57014, 55P03, 40001, 40P01). A deterministic SQL error (syntax, schema,
constraint) is not retried. A definite non-transient status (for example
HTTP 401 or 404) is still `setup_failed`. Message text is not parsed.
- `environment-run-orchestrator.ts` uses this classifier, so these
failures get `environment_provider_unavailable` and the existing bounded
bootstrap retry (30 s, then 60 s, with jitter). The task shows "retry
scheduled" while it waits.
- When the retries are used up, recovery uses the cause
`environment_provider_unavailable` with a system-owned action and no
board routing. The notice says "Retry when ready" and does not ask for a
board decision. The task's Retry starts a new acquisition.
- Restart-chaos fault EP1: a test-mode server seam
(`environment-lease-fault-injection.ts`, read from
`PAPERCLIP_CHAOS_LEASE_FAULT_CONTROL`, ignored in production) throws the
staging error shapes before any provider call.
`tests/restart-chaos/env-provider-wave.ts` runs EP1 (deadline twice,
then success), EP1N (deadline forever, then Retry after disarm) and EP1D
(database error once). The oracle fails on any `setup_failed` run, any
board-owned recovery action, a wrong retry count, or a task that does
not complete.
- Docs: `doc/execution-semantics.md` and
`tests/restart-chaos/README.md`.

## Verification

- RED on `origin/master` (`1d67e309e0`, before #20828): the three new
tests in `heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts` ("transient sandbox
provider refusal during lease acquisition") fail with the staging
result: `expected [ [ 'failed', 'setup_failed' ] ] to deeply equal [ [
'failed', 'environment_provider_unavailable' ], [ 'scheduled_retry',
null ] ]`. On current master the deadline now retries (#20828), but the
exhausted case still rests on a board-owned `stranded_assigned_issue`
action (the existing HTTP 502 exhaustion test showed `ownerType:
"board"` before the recovery change), and the database error is still
`setup_failed`.
- GREEN: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts -t "lease acquisition"`
passes 5 of 5. This includes the deadline and the database error that
retry once and then complete, and the deadline that never clears. That
task rests `blocked` with a system-owned action, `canRetry: true`, no
execution blocker, and Retry completes it.
- Unit tests: `environment-provider-unavailable-error.test.ts` +
`environment-lease-fault-injection.test.ts` (56),
`tests/restart-chaos/env-provider-faults.test.ts` (6) pass.
- Related suites pass: `environment-run-orchestrator`,
`task-interruption-query`, `issue-recovery-actions`,
`issue-recovery-deadlines`, `stranded-notice`,
`heartbeat-native-resume-lease-failure`.
- `server` and `tests/restart-chaos` typecheck pass.
- Chaos waves (local, Codex `gpt-6.1-sol`, head `1bd387e98f`; the later
head changes only database classification and the notice), all pass:
- EP1 `w-20261111T171803-s71-ep`, 2 tasks: each had exactly 2
`environment_provider_unavailable` runs, then succeeded with no user
action, no board-owned recovery action, brief oracle pass.
- EP1D `w-20261111T172850-s73-ep`, 1 task: 1 failed run on the database
error, then succeeded.
- EP1N `w-20261111T173346-s74-ep` (and `w-20261111T162752-s72-ep` before
the rebase): 3 failed runs, the task rested `blocked` with `canRetry:
true` and no board-owned action; after disarm, Retry completed it.
- No Daytona wave was run. The fault is injected in the server before
the provider call, so a local instance reaches the same retry and
recovery code.

## Risks

- More failures now retry, all bounded. Only transient SQLSTATEs retry.
The staging database error recorded no SQLSTATE. If it was a
deterministic SQL error, it still fails `setup_failed` and goes to the
board as before; that is intended, because a retry cannot fix it.
- Each retry is a new creation attempt with its own creation record. A
provisional allocation whose cleanup is pending stays with its record
and the creation reconciler, as before.
- The retry bound is the shared bootstrap bound (two retries). A
provider outage longer than about 15 minutes still rests on Retry, but
no longer on a board action.
- The fault seam reads a file only when the environment variable is set,
and never when `NODE_ENV=production`.
- Saved state from the previous release: no persisted shape changes. A
task already stranded on a board action keeps it
(`preserveExistingOwner`). New failures use the new cause.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip b2edea5754 fix(workspaces): verify existing worktrees before fresh retries (#20876)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages work for AI agents.
> - Retry checks whether the task can keep its existing workspace.
> - A provider can complete checkout before Core receives the result.
> - Recreating a completed worktree costs time and can change its base
commit.
> - Core uses the same ownership and writer checks for local and
provider workspaces.
> - The provider verifies its checkout before Core creates a fresh
workspace.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A retry can allocate a new provider worktree even though the original
checkout completed.

**Steps to reproduce**

Complete workspace checkout through a storage provider. Fail Runner
startup or lose the prepare reply. Retry the task.

**Expected behavior**

Reuse the same worktree when the provider confirms checkout and the
prior run can no longer write to it.

Related: #20865 addresses timeouts while the original prepare is in
progress. This PR checks an earlier checkout when the user retries.

## What Changed

- Check the prior task binding and writer state before asking a storage
provider to verify a checkout.
- Extend the existing prepare operation with an optional verification
mode. Providers opt in through their manifest.
- Return through normal workspace reuse after verification. Keep the
fresh retry fallback when verification cannot establish checkout.

## Verification

- Core workspace preparation, plugin workspace ownership, retry
continuity, and SDK workspace-provider suites passed locally (213
tests).
- Focused cases pass for provider verification, retry through heartbeat
dispatch, and real local Git checkout verification with no plugin
worker. The heartbeat test confirms that ordinary preparation and
adapter dispatch keep the original workspace, branch, and base commit.
- Core server typecheck passed before the final audit and timing edits.
GitHub CI covers the final revision and broader regressions.

## Risks

Provider verification adds one bounded call before a fresh retry. Older
providers keep their current behavior. Verification must preserve the
workspace, branch, and recorded base commit. The normal execution
preparation checks still run before admission. No database migration is
needed.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 (Codex), with source inspection and local test execution.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 e5d7678e4d fix(authz): name the environment settings page when an agent is denied an environment route
Agents asked which computer can run a coding harness hit the board-only
environment routes and got a denial that named no page, so they could not
link the person to the control. Environment denials now link environment
settings (unless an operator hides them) and say testing and changing
computers are board-only too.

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 14cb69245f fix(projects): do not offer a single project storage option (#20875)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A project uses one workspace storage owner. The user chooses it when
they create the project.
> - The **Available in** selector shows the storage owners that the user
can choose.
> - Sometimes the default environment cannot be used, and only one

with only one option. The user must select it before they can create the
project.
> - A selector with only one option is not a real choice.
> - This pull request uses the only available storage owner as the
default. The selector appears only when the user has two or more
options.
> - The benefit is that project creation asks for a choice only when
there is one.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20835

**What happened?**
An example is an instance in managed-sandbox-only mode that has the
agent-computer plugin but no managed sandbox. The local environment is
hidden, and the managed-only rule finds no default. The
project-environments endpoint returns one storage group and an error.
The new project dialog shows **Available in** with only one option and
disables **Create project** until the user selects it. An API request
without `environmentId` fails with `project_environment_unavailable`.

**What did you expect?**
When only one storage owner is available, the project uses it. No
selector appears.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Turn on `enableManagedSandboxOnly`. Install the agent-computer
plugin. Do not add a sandbox environment.
2. Open **Create project**.
3. See an **Available in** selector with one option, and a disabled
**Create project** button.

## What Changed

- `projectEnvironmentOptions`: when the configured default is
unavailable and only one storage group exists, the first environment of
that group becomes `defaultEnvironmentId`, and `error` is null. When two
or more groups exist, an unavailable default still produces the error.
The server does not guess.
- Project create uses the same default, so an API request without
`environmentId` now succeeds in the single-group case.
- `NewProjectDialog` shows the selector only when `groups.length > 1`.
- Tests:
- A new server test covers managed-only mode with only the
agent-computer environment.
- A new server test covers an unavailable default with two storage
groups (the server still refuses to guess).
- The archived-default test now expects the server to use the only
remaining storage.
  - A new UI test checks that the dialog never shows one option.
- Docs: `doc/project-environment-compatibility.md` and
`docs/api/goals-and-projects.md`.

## Verification

- `pnpm vitest run src/__tests__/project-environments.test.ts` in
`server/`: 16 passed.
- `pnpm vitest run src/components/NewProjectDialog` in `ui/`: 12 passed.
- `tsc --noEmit` in `ui/`: clean.
- Server `tsc` reports 9 errors on this machine. None are in the changed
files. They are in `packages/adapter-utils` and a native-runtime test,
because local dependencies are stale. CI typechecks with a fresh
install.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change applies only when the default is unavailable and
exactly one storage group exists. In that case, the server picks the
group that the user would have had to choose anyway. Run placement does
not depend on the project, so this does not change where runs execute.
- No migration.

Migration 0466 drops `projects.environment_id`. The previous server
still selects that column and reads it during admission. Applying a
separate repair afterward leaves a window in which those requests fail.
The drop also removes saved values.

**Expected behavior**

A database that has not yet applied 0466 must keep the column and its
values visible to concurrent old servers throughout the upgrade. Both
published migration entries must be recorded truthfully. Current project
responses must keep the new workspace placement contract.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Use a database before migration 0466 with nonempty project
environment values.
2. Keep an old project writer transaction open and start the pending
migrator.
3. Start an old project read, then commit the writer.
4. Without this repair, the saved values disappear. With this repair,
the reader sees the preserved values and both migrations commit
together.

## What Changed

- Add migration 0467 to restore the legacy nullable UUID column and its
original foreign key. Leave the published 0466 SQL unchanged.
- Apply only the exact SHA-bound 0466/0467 pair in one transaction. Lock
the project table, retain nonempty values in a temporary table, execute
both real SQL files, restore values, and record both real journal
entries before commit.
- Apply the additive 0467 repair normally when 0466 was already
committed.
- Keep a deprecated database-only field and omit it from current project
API responses. Current placement logic stays unchanged.
- Add PostgreSQL regressions for concurrent old reads and writes,
idempotence, rollback, and an already-applied drop. Document the overlap
contract and retain the five newest generated snapshots.

## Verification

- Node 24 cached agent preflight passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/db/src/project-environment-overlap-migration.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/project-environments.test.ts -t 'project
environment rolling migration|saves storage, not'`: 4 passed in 32.57
seconds against real disposable PostgreSQL.
- Before the owner fix, the regression had two failures: saved values
disappeared and the restore-failure case committed. The fixed case
proves that both DDL and journal entries roll back together.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db typecheck` and `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/db check:migrations`: passed.
- `git diff --check`: passed. Migration 0466 bytes are unchanged. The
generated snapshot set is 0463 through 0467.
- Review found a raw DELETE response that still exposed the
database-only field. The delete projection now omits it; a real
authorized HTTP DELETE passed with successful cleanup. The concurrency
test now observes the old reader waiting inside PostgreSQL before
releasing the old writer. All three migration cases passed with that
barrier. Earlier HTTP fixture setup/cleanup failures remain recorded as
failed attempts; they were not product-regression passes.
- Candidate `047178538c0df3a9e382259a51635a6e46da5646` has fresh
Greptile 5/5 with no open findings. [Required final-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/43062354612)
passed, including build, typecheck, migration checks, all test shards
and the aggregate verification gate. The separate Superagent security
scan ended inconclusive/neutral; it did not produce a passed scan.
Deployed acceptance remains pending. No hosted database or app
deployment was changed by this branch.

## Risks

The pair takes a table lock for its transaction. Operators must retain
their normal lock and statement timeouts. Both SQL files and their exact
hashes must match before the pair runs. A failed restore rolls back the
drop and both journal entries.

If 0466 was already committed, 0467 restores the column and foreign key.
It cannot recover values that were already deleted by the earlier
release. This repair does not claim to recover those values.

## Model Used

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 e0e6462a73 fix(heartbeat): keep an agent's explicit resume comment that a stale continuation dropped (#20856)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents coordinate on tasks through comments. A comment posted with
`resume: true` is an explicit request for more work; on a finished task
it reopens the task, for a person or for another agent.
> - A comment that arrives while the assignee's run is still settling
queues its own run. If the settling run then closes the task, that
queued run is cancelled before dispatch as a stale continuation
(`continuation_task_ownership_changed`).
> - For a person's comment, the outbox saves the unread message first
and the release drain reopens the task (chaos s9401/t72). For another
agent's explicit `resume: true` comment, nothing was saved. The request
was dropped and the task stayed `done`.
> - This pull request saves that agent comment too, with its explicit
resume intent. The existing release-drain rule for an agent's explicit
resume reopens the task and delivers the comment once.
> - The benefit is that a parent agent's "do this next turn" request is
not lost to a timing race. An agent comment without `resume: true` stays
communicative, as before.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
On a hosted staging instance, a parent agent posted a comment with
`resume: true` on its child's task: "a changed requirement for your NEXT
turn". The child's provider turn had finished 90 s earlier, but its run
was still settling (workspace copy-back). The comment queued a new run.
40 s later the settling run applied its `done` decision. The queued run
was then cancelled with `continuation_task_ownership_changed`. The task
stayed `done` and no run ever read the comment. The cancelled run itself
is not shown as a failure (the task is terminal, so task chat hides it,
and Sentry skips expected cancellations), so nothing told anyone the
request was lost.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run an agent on a task. While its run is still settling, post a
comment from another agent with `resume: true`.
2. Let the run close the task (`done`).
3. The comment's queued run is cancelled as a stale continuation. The
task is not reopened and the comment is never delivered.

**Expected behavior**
The task reopens for the explicit resume request, and the comment is
delivered exactly once, as for a person's comment.

## What Changed

- `deferUndeliveredCommentsOfStaleRun` finds, per owed comment, the
comment's own `issue.comment_added` activity record: written by its
author (another agent, not the assignee) with `resumeIntent: true`.
Merged runs, whose wake is rewritten as comments join, therefore keep
each comment's own intent.
- `saveUndeliveredUserComments` also admits those comments
(`explicitResumeCommentIds`). When only such comments remain, the
deferred receipt records the agent as requester and carries
`resumeIntent`/`followUpRequested` in its payload and wake context. The
release drain's existing rule for an agent's explicit resume on a `done`
task then reopens and delivers it. Person-comment behaviour is
unchanged.
- `doc/run-log-events.md` describes the rule.

## Verification

- RED on `origin/master` (`1d67e309e0`): `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-held-comment-wake.test.ts -t "explicit resume
comment"` fails: `expected [] to have a length of 1 but got +0` (the
comment is never delivered after the stale cancellation).
- GREEN: the whole file passes (29/29), including two-requester
merged-run tests in both orders, the new negative test (`does not reopen
a finished task for another agent's comment without resume intent`) and
the existing person-comment and exactly-once tests.
- Related suites `ownership-reconciliation-report`,
`execution-continuation`, `chat-wake-conversation-batch` plus this file:
118/118 tests pass locally. One `afterAll` cleanup hook in
`ownership-reconciliation-report` timed out under local machine load; CI
runs the suite fresh.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsc --noEmit` passes.
- Not done: no restart-chaos cell. The harness posts follow-ups as the
board user, which s9401/t72 already covers; an agent-authored `resume:
true` comment needs a two-agent workload the harness does not have.

## Risks

- Low risk. Only a comment whose own wake was an agent's explicit
`resume: true` qualifies, only on a task an agent run closed, and only
when no run read the comment. The assignee's own comments never qualify.
- The ownership reconciler's durable backstop
(`checkStaleDroppedComments`) still covers person comments only. If the
fast path fails, an agent's resume comment is not recovered later.

DottaandClaude Fable 5.2 464e1de9b1 perf(issues): decide task reads for a list in one batch (#20858)
The task routes that filter several rows for one actor (summaries, lists, blockers, relation edges and the chat bootstrap) asked for one authorization decision per task, all at the same time. Each decision sent a task-row read and a copy of the task-privacy statement, which is more than 1 KB of SQL, so a request for 50 summaries sent 127 to 279 statements on every pool connection at once.

The routes now ask the authorization service for all decisions in one batched read. It reads the task rows and applies the same privacy predicate to all of them in one statement, and reads membership, agent and run policy once. Within a batch, the authorizing user's membership is read once, and the boundary checks of a low-trust agent, which stay per task, run at most eight at a time.

A request for 50 summaries now sends 22 to 28 statements (65 for a low-trust agent). Tests compare the batch with one check per task for 24 actors.

DottaandClaude Fable 5.2 381b862135 fix(native): let a finish through after one stale-result refusal; rebuild a missing instruction bundle (#20833)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A native Codex run ends its task with a Paperclip terminal call
(`paperclip_finish` or `paperclip_block`)
> - The Runner refuses a terminal call that the agent decided before it
saw earlier tool results (`terminal_call_before_results`). This protects
against stale calls held across a restart.
> - On staging, Codex cancelled a nested exec cell. Codex never sent
`item/completed` for one Paperclip tool call in that cell. The Runner
then refused every later finish and block in the turn, and the turn
ended with no semantic result.
> - The same-run recovery then resumed the run on a new controller
container. The run's admitted instruction bundle is stored on the
controller's local disk, so it was missing there, and runnerd failed
with ENOENT.
> - This pull request makes a refusal name a returned call once, and
rebuilds a missing admitted instruction bundle before the Runner backend
starts.
> - The agent-directory lock part of the same failure chain ("Agent
directory operation is already active") is fixed separately by #20829.
> - The benefit is that the agent can finish after one refusal, and a
resumed run does not fail because a deploy moved it to a host without
the bundle.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20829 (the agent-directory lock wait and dead-owner release; this
PR does not change that lock).

**What happened?**

Staging Codex runs on Daytona sandboxes failed after about 30 minutes of
work:

1. Early in the turn, the agent called `paperclip_search_assigned_tools`
from a nested exec cell. Codex cancelled that cell. The controller
returned the result, but Codex never sent `item/completed`, so the
Runner never committed `tool.execution.completed` for it.
2. At the end, the agent called `paperclip_finish` four times and
`paperclip_block` once. The Runner refused each one with
`terminal_call_before_results` ("Those calls have now returned"). The
old call stayed "returned but unseen" for the rest of the turn.
3. The turn completed with no semantic result
(`native_finalization_missing`). Same-run recovery scheduled another
attempt.
4. On the new controller container, the attempt failed with
`runner_ingress_unavailable: runnerd process failed: ENOENT ... scandir
'/paperclip/instances/default/runtime-context-assets/bundles/<sha>'`
(one run) or `ENOENT ... lstat` of the same kind of path (a run during a
rolling deploy). In both, `<sha>` is the run's admitted instruction
bundle. The asset root is controller-local, and the new containers had
no volume.
5. The last attempt failed with "Agent directory operation is already
active" (fixed by #20829).

**Expected behavior**

The agent finishes after one refusal. A resumed run rebuilds its exact
admitted instruction bundle on the new host.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run a Codex task that calls a Paperclip tool, then
`paperclip_finish`.
2. Drop Codex's `item/completed` for the first tool call (new chaos
fault `--faults PV2 --provider-fault-message tool_completed`).
3. On master, every `paperclip_finish` is refused and the run ends with
`native_finalization_missing`.
4. Separately, delete `runtime-context-assets/bundles/<instruction
digest>` and resume a run that pinned it: runnerd fails with ENOENT.

**Paperclip version or commit**

master at 1d67e309e0.

## What Changed

- `packages/paperclip-runner/src/live/terminal-call-freshness.ts` and
`runnerd-codex-transport.ts`: when the Runner refuses a terminal call
with `terminal_call_before_results`, it records the refused call id with
the returned-but-unseen call ids it named. A later terminal call ignores
those calls only when the refused call's `tool.execution.completed` (the
refusal reached the provider) is committed before the later call starts.
A terminal call queued before the refusal reached the provider, a call
that was pending at the refusal, and a call made after it are judged as
before. The record is in memory, so after a Runner restart the agent can
get one more refusal.
- `server/src/services/native-runtime/runtime-context.ts`: new
`rehydratePinnedInstructionAsset`. When the admitted instruction bundle
is not present on this host, it rebuilds it from the agent's instruction
revision whose content has the admitted digest (single-file bundles), or
from the current instructions when they still produce the admitted
digest. It never substitutes different content. When nothing matches, it
leaves the context unchanged.
- `server/src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.ts`:
`createRunnerdBackendWithinSessionClaim` calls it before the backend
starts. When the bundle is present this is two local file reads.
- Restart chaos: new provider message `tool_completed` for the Codex
shim (PV1/PV2/PV3). It targets Codex's `item/completed` for the first
Paperclip tool call that is not a finish or block. Config accepts it
with A1 and C1 on Codex only. The README documents it.

## Verification

- RED on master (fix reverted, new tests kept): `vitest run
src/live/terminal-call-freshness.test.ts` in `packages/paperclip-runner`
fails with `expected [ 'paperclip_search_assigned_tools' ] to deeply
equal []`.
- GREEN: `terminal-call-freshness.test.ts` 13 passed; the transport
tests for terminal calls pass, including a new test where the first
finish is refused and the second is dispatched, and tests where a queued
stale terminal call and a late-returning pending write are still
refused.
- `server/src/__tests__/runtime-skill-preservation.test.ts`: 9 passed,
including the new test that deletes an admitted instruction bundle and
its manifest, then rebuilds the exact bundle from the revision history
while a newer revision exists.
- `vitest --config tests/restart-chaos/vitest.config.ts
provider-faults.test.ts`: 22 passed.
- Chaos wave `w-20261111T150212-s301` (`--env local --adapters codex
--workloads A1 --faults PV2 --provider-fault-message tool_completed
--tasks 1 --seed 301`): 1/1 PASS, `provider_fault_applied` applied=1,
R1–R6 and the A1 oracle pass.
- `pnpm verify` asks for broader verification (a restart-chaos README
change is a global CI input); required CI supplies it.

## Risks

- The terminal-call change lets a later finish through when a returned
call never reaches the agent. The earlier refusal named that call and
reached the provider first, so the agent decides with that knowledge.
- The instruction rebuild adds two local file reads before the Runner
backend starts. It writes only when the bundle is missing, and only
bytes whose digest equals the admitted digest.
- Not covered here: a multi-file (legacy) instruction bundle whose
content changed since admission still cannot be rebuilt; a skill bundle
with neither a version id nor a preservation receipt is not rebuilt; the
runner-side quarantine after an S3 `SlowDown` during the post-turn
harness backup.

DottaandClaude Fable 5.2 8ab955776d perf(github): check the requester provenance of an issue list's review waits in one batch (#20851)
<!-- Write all pull request text in Simplified Technical English
(ASD-STE100): short sentences, one instruction per sentence, simple
approved vocabulary, and the active voice. -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - An agent can review a GitHub pull request. After the agent publishes
the review, the task waits in review for the next GitHub reply. A later
run of the same task can inherit this wait.
> - Issue lists, issue summaries and inbox attention show these waits.
For each waiting task, the server first checks the requester provenance
of the waiting run (`chatRunSourceMessageId`). This check is an
authorization check: it walks the identity-context lineage of the run
and rejects a changed requester, another task, another company or
another provider.
> - #20673 batched the review reads and the publication reads of one
list request. It kept the provenance check as one call for each waiting
run, inside `Promise.all`.
> - Thus a request with N waits still built and sent at least 2N
statements at the same moment. The database is fast for each statement,
but the server builds each statement on its main thread.
> - On a hosted instance, a CPU profile of the server showed the main
thread at 96% of one core. SQL text building, per-statement timers,
socket writes and garbage collection had the largest shares. Connection
samples showed 235 to 292 pool connections whose last statement was the
source-message link read of this check, and 53 to 112 whose last
statement was its identity-context read.
> - This pull request checks the provenance of all the waiting runs of
one request in one batch. The runs that need the same kind of read share
one statement. Each run gets the same decision as a separate call, from
the same walk and the same reads.
> - The benefit is that a list request with 250 waits sends 17
statements, not 658, and uses about one quarter of the CPU time. The
statement count no longer follows the number of waits.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20673 (batched the review reads and the publication reads of the
same request; this change does the same for the provenance reads that
#20673 kept for each run).
Refs #20551 (authorizes the waits of one issue page with one read).

**What happened**

`readInheritedGitHubReviewWaits` called `chatRunSourceMessageId` one
time for each waiting run, inside `Promise.all`. Each call sent an
identity-context read and a source-message link read. A run that
continues an earlier run also sent a parent-context read and a
source-run read for each continuation in its lineage.
`listExternalReviewWaits` calls this function for the issue list, the
issue summaries and the inbox attention of a company, so each of those
requests repeated the same reads for every waiting task.

Evidence from a hosted instance (sanitized):

- CPU profile of the server process, 30 s, 5 ms samples: main thread at
96% of one core. Building SQL text for select statements: 17.7%
inclusive. The idle-timer restart that the database client does for each
statement: 7.6%. Socket writes: 6.2%. Garbage collection: 13%.
- Three samples of the pool connections (about 494 connections). 235 to
292 connections had the source-message link read of
`chatRunSourceMessageId` as their last statement. 53 to 112 connections
had its identity-context read as their last statement.
- The `DISTINCT ON` review read that #20673 added ran about 29 times
each minute. It runs one time for each list request, so each request
started hundreds of provenance reads.

**Expected behavior**

One list request sends a number of provenance statements that does not
follow the number of waiting tasks. The decision for each run does not
change.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Put many tasks of one company in review, each with an inherited
GitHub review wait.
2. Open the issue list or the inbox.
3. Count the statements that the server sends. The identity-context read
and the source-message link read run one time for each waiting task.

The benchmark below does these steps on a local PostgreSQL.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/chat-channels/run-origin.ts`:
- The provenance decision is now one walk (`sourceMessageWalk`). The
walk asks for one read at a time and decides on the returned rows only.
Its checks, their order and its error messages are the checks of the
previous `chatRunSourceMessageId`.
- The five reads of the walk (active identity context, source-message
link, board message, parent context, source run) are defined one time in
`provenanceReads`. Each definition takes its values either as literals
or as SQL columns.
- `chatRunSourceMessageId` (single run) drives the walk with one
statement for each read, as before. The joins, the company scope and the
filters are the same. The identity-context reads now select the seven
columns that the walk uses instead of every column.
- New `chatRunSourceMessageIds(db, runs, options)` (batch). It drives
one walk for each run. In each round, the runs that wait for the same
kind of read share one statement: `unnest(...)` of the request values,
`CROSS JOIN LATERAL` the same single-row read with the request columns
in place of the literals. Thus each run gets the row that its own single
read returns, with `LIMIT 1` and the company scope on each join. The
result for each run is `{ messageId }` or `{ forbidden }` (the 403 that
the single call throws). A database error rejects the whole batch, as
`Promise.all` did.
- `server/src/services/chat-channels/github/review-wait.ts`:
`readInheritedGitHubReviewWaits` checks the provenance of its runs with
the batch. A 403 still gives `revoked`. The single-run
`readInheritedGitHubReviewWait` does not change.
- `server/src/services/chat-channels/run-origin.test.ts`: two new tests
(see Verification).
- `server/src/__tests__/github-review-wait.test.ts`: one new regression
test for the statement count.
- `server/scripts/benchmark-review-wait-provenance.ts`: the reproduction
and the before/after measurement. It loads the pre-fix modules from
`--baseline-ref` and fails unless both versions return the same waits.
- `scripts/benchmark-github-review-wait.ts`: removed an assertion that
`run-origin.ts` is byte-identical to its baseline. Both sides of that
benchmark import the current helper, so the comparison stays fair.
Without this change, the documented command of that benchmark fails.
- `doc/DATABASE.md`: describes the batch provenance check and the new
benchmark command.

Statement count of one batch: the walk of one run does at most 3 + 4L
reads, where L is the number of continuations in its requester lineage.
The batch does the same number of rounds for its longest lineage. Each
round sends at most one statement for each kind of read (5 kinds), for
any number of runs. A request whose waiting runs accepted their GitHub
comment directly sends 2 provenance statements.

## Verification

Red/green regression test
(`server/src/__tests__/github-review-wait.test.ts`):

- `reads the waits of forty runs with the statements of four runs`.
Before the fix: `expected { few: 10, many: 82 } to deeply equal { few:
4, many: 4 }`. After the fix: passes.

Equivalence tests
(`server/src/services/chat-channels/run-origin.test.ts`), on real
PostgreSQL:

- `gives every run of a batch the decision of its own check, in every
provenance state`. 33 runs, each in a different provenance state, are
checked with the single function and with the batch for five option sets
(no options, legacy wake allowed, GitHub, GitHub with legacy wake,
Slack). The test compares the decision of each run (message, `null`, or
the 403 and its message) for: the full batch, the reversed batch, and a
batch of one run. The states include the negative cases: a run of
another company, a message that is linked only in another company, a
message that is linked to another task, a conversation that moved to
another task, a continuation on another task, a changed requester (run,
identity context, continuation, board message), a link of another
provider, a missing link, an outbound link only, a deleted message, an
agent message, a rejected or pending identity context, a missing parent,
another agent and a lineage cycle. The test also states the expected
GitHub decision for each state, so the comparison cannot pass on two
wrong answers.
- `checks the runs of a batch with statements that follow the lineage,
not the number of runs`. 4 runs and 40 runs each send 2 statements. 40
separate checks send 80. One continuation in each lineage gives 4
statements for the batch.
- A mutation check: when the batch gives a row to the wrong request,
both tests fail.

Commands:

- `pnpm vitest run server/src/services/chat-channels/run-origin.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/github-review-wait.test.ts`
- Focused run of 15 test files that import the changed modules, their
callers or the shared seed helper, including
`external-chat-wait.integration.test.ts`, `chat-github-tools.test.ts`,
`slack-authority.test.ts` and
`issue-list-review-wait-authorization.integration.test.ts`: 482 tests
passed. In `idle-completed-history.test.ts`, `afterEach` hooks (a
`TRUNCATE` of the test database) timed out at 30 s for 1 test in this
run and for 3 tests in a second run of the file, while other agents
loaded the machine. No assertion failed. The three tests of that file
that reach the changed code pass when they run alone. CI runs the full
file.
- `server/src/__tests__/chat-channels.integration.test.ts` also uses the
single check. It was not run locally (very large file). CI runs it.
- Typecheck of the changed files and of the callers of
`chatRunSourceMessageId` with a focused `tsc` program: no errors in
these files. The full server typecheck was not run locally (shared
machine). CI supplies it.
- The first CI run of this pull request failed `ci / policy`: the module
boundary check rejects an insert into the agents table outside the agent
lifecycle module, and the benchmark seeded its fixture agent that way.
The second commit seeds that agent with SQL. `pnpm
check:module-boundaries` passes locally, and the benchmark gives the
same statement counts.
- `pnpm verify` returns exit 2 (broader verification required) because
the change adds a file under `server/scripts/`. CI supplies the broad
coverage.

Before/after measurement:

```sh
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsx scripts/benchmark-review-wait-provenance.ts --baseline-ref=e2cf9a670fc5d5f5058fd0972beb71650f77c554
```

One call of `listExternalReviewWaits` (the read of one issue list
request). Embedded PostgreSQL 18.1, Node v26.4.0, `VACUUM ANALYZE` after
seeding. One company, one agent, one GitHub repository. Every wait has a
published review. Every tenth waiting run continues three earlier runs.
3 warm-up calls, then 15 pairs in alternating order. Both versions
return the same waits and the same inherited wait for each run.

| Waits | Version | Statements | SQL text bytes | Wall ms, median
(min–max) | CPU ms, median (min–max) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 20 | before | 60 | 31,084 | 14.1 (12.8–19.6) | 13.7 (8.7–39.3) |
| 20 | after | 17 | 15,847 | 12.5 (9.4–22.7) | 8.8 (4.1–87.1) |
| 250 | before | 658 | 300,611 | 63.3 (58.1–89.6) | 78.1 (64.8–103.3) |
| 250 | after | 17 | 17,171 | 20.8 (18.9–29.2) | 18.7 (14.1–27.3) |
| 1000 | before | 2,608 | 1,179,710 | 256.0 (221.0–363.2) | 303.3
(262.2–507.8) |
| 1000 | after | 17 | 21,695 | 54.9 (46.7–81.7) | 51.0 (41.6–72.2) |

Of the 658 statements before the fix at 250 waits, 650 are provenance
reads: 325 identity-context reads, 250 source-message link reads and 75
source-run reads. After the fix, 9 statements do the same reads. The
other 8 statements of the request do not change. Sizes are set with
`WAITS=20` and `WAITS=1000`. Other agents used the same machine during
the measurement, so the maximum values have noise.

- The batch statements use index scans only
(`run_identity_contexts_pkey`, `run_identity_contexts_company_run_idx`,
`chat_message_links_company_comment_idx`, `chat_conversations_pkey`,
`chat_endpoints_company_id_uq`, `heartbeat_runs_pkey`). The 9 batch
statements of a request with 250 waits take about 1 ms of server
execution in total.
- Wall time and CPU time are almost equal before the fix. This shows
that the cost is in the server process, not in the database.

Not verified:

- The effect on the hosted instance. This pull request does not deploy.
The share of the main-thread CPU that this path uses there is not known;
the profile gives the share of all statement building.

## Risks

- The provenance check is an authorization check. The risk is a batch
decision that differs from the single decision. Mitigation: both paths
run the same walk and build each read from the same definition. The
batch read is the single read inside `CROSS JOIN LATERAL`, for each
request row. The equivalence test compares both paths in every state.
- A database error (for example an invalid UUID in a legacy task
binding) rejects the whole batch. The previous `Promise.all` also
rejected the whole request. The callers of the batch pass the native
task of each run.
- The statement count of the batch follows the longest lineage of its
runs. A batch with one very long lineage sends as many statements as
that run sent before, in sequence. It does not send more.
- The batch sends its statements in sequence on one connection. Before,
the reads of N runs used up to N pool connections at the same moment.
- The single-run callers (GitHub tools, review publication, response
comments, Slack authority, the finalizer, the status committer) keep one
statement for each read. Their identity-context reads select fewer
columns.
- No migration. No new index.

DottaandPaperclip e625505ac9 fix(auth): preserve credential sign-in during server overlap (#20839)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip controls AI agent work across software updates.
> - Authenticated instances must keep human sign-in available during an
update.
> - Better Auth 1.7.16 identifies accounts by provider and account ID.
> - It creates credential accounts without the issuer required by the
previous reader.
> - A new account can therefore fail to sign in through a surviving
1.7.2 process.
> - This pull request keeps the legacy credential issuer on trusted
account creation.
> - The security upgrade and provider/account uniqueness stay in place.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18906.

**What happened?**

After the Better Auth upgrade, a credential account created by the new
version has a NULL issuer. A surviving Better Auth 1.7.2 process rejects
its correct password because it selects only the `local:credential`
account identity.

**Expected behavior**

A new credential account must sign in through both versions during an
update. The new version must keep its provider/account lookup and
uniqueness rules.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Apply migration 0465 to a disposable database.
2. Create an email/password account with the new auth mount.
3. Sign in to the same database through Better Auth 1.7.2.
4. Without this change, signup and new-version sign-in return 200, but
old-version sign-in returns 401.

## What Changed

- Register issuer as an optional internal account field with client
input and response output disabled.
- Set `local:credential` in the trusted before-create hook. Preserve any
nonempty issuer supplied by internal code.
- Leave unconfigured providers without an issuer on the new NULL-issuer
behavior. No social provider is configured by this module.
- Add credential integration and issuer-policy controls. Document the
exact compatibility scope.

## Verification

- Node 24: `node scripts/agent-preflight.mjs` passed using the existing
build cache.
- `node cli/node_modules/tsx/dist/cli.mjs
packages/db/src/test-postgres-command.ts -- node
node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run --project @paperclipai/server
server/src/__tests__/better-auth.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/better-auth-credential-signup.integration.test.ts`:
22 passed.
- Separate local qualification used the actual cached Better Auth 1.7.2
SDK and the current 1.7.16 mount against one disposable PostgreSQL
database. Before this change, old-version sign-in returned 401 for the
new account. After this change, signup through either writer and sign-in
through both readers returned 200.
- The integration covers forged client issuer input, the frozen 1.7.2
credential selector, current-version sign-in for existing NULL-issuer
rows, and the unchanged provider/account unique index.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`: passed, including all
server and test-tree layers.
- The first required Runner support run failed three SDK proof suites
because two generated lock references were stale on the current base.
The existing generator corrected those references and the three suites
passed locally (58 tests in 17.07 seconds). Master then merged the same
repair in #20834 and advanced its runtime/dependency lock. This branch
was rebased onto current master; the duplicate proof commit was omitted.
The final diff contains only the four auth/test/doc files. The
exact-head checks and review listed below passed on the rebased
candidate.
- Final candidate `577fd7612a6d80ac35e2f5ee9ea2ce9b77169687`: focused
auth verification passed again (22 tests, 51.81 seconds). [Required
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/43051216288)
passed, including build, typecheck, server/Runner tests and all eight
browser shards. One unchanged Rust process-lineage orphan-census test
failed on the first attempt; the failed job was rerun after the workflow
completed and passed. This PR changes no Rust source.
- [Greptile
review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/20839#issuecomment-6799551882)
is 5/5 on the final head with no actionable findings or open review
threads. No deployment or original database change was performed for
this branch.

## Risks

The bridge applies to new credential accounts. It does not backfill
existing NULL issuers or claim old-reader compatibility for unconfigured
social providers. Trusted internal issuers retain their exact value.
Account lookup, password checks, account linking, provider/account
uniqueness, and migration 0465 remain with their existing owners.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex (GPT-6), with tool-assisted code editing and local
PostgreSQL qualification. The exact serving model ID and context window
are not exposed in this session.

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 369e238295 fix(projects): make workspace storage the project's only placement choice (#20835)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A repository project gets its working files from core staging or
from a workspace storage plugin
> - #20459 reported that an installed storage plugin attached every new
repository project, so sandbox agents could not use those projects
> - #20587 fixed creation with an **Available in** choice that selects
storage
> - #20651 then saved an environment on every new project and used it
before the agent default to place runs. That solved a problem that did
not exist: the project needs storage, not a run environment
> - Creation saves the first environment of the chosen group, so a
project silently sends every agent's runs to that environment. Project
Configuration also shows two controls (Environment and Workspace
storage) for one decision
> - This pull request removes the project run environment and makes
storage the only placement choice a project owns. Storage is fixed at
creation
> - The benefit is that runs follow the agent again, and project
settings show one clear, read-only fact about storage

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20459. Follow-up to #20587 and #20651.

Refs #11644. That issue asks for a project-level run environment
override. This pull request removes the override that #20651 added for
it, because the override is not necessary to fix #20459. #11644 stays a
separate feature request.

Related: #18176 (open) repairs placement through the legacy
workspace-policy field. This pull request does not restore project
placement, so it conflicts with the direction of #18176.

## What Changed

- **Remove the project run environment.** Migration `0466` drops
`projects.environment_id`. Run placement no longer reads the project.
Runs use the agent default, then the instance default, then local
execution. The low-trust task sandbox and the enforced sandbox policies
keep their precedence.
- **Keep the #20651 recovery and binding guards.** A recovered run still
uses its admitted environment lease (source `run`). Company-binding
checks before admission and during lease creation stay.
- **Keep the creation choice.** **Available in** in New Project still
selects storage. It still shows only when the environments need more
than one storage owner. That can only occur when a storage plugin is
installed. `POST /projects` with `environmentId` selects the storage of
that environment and does not save the environment.
- **Fix storage at creation.** `PATCH /projects/:id` rejects any storage
change with `409 project_storage_locked`, from core to a plugin and from
a plugin to core. Before, a core project could move to a plugin.
- **Drop legacy writes.** Older clients can still send
`executionWorkspacePolicy.environmentId`. The service removes it on
create and update.
- **Simplify Project Configuration.** Remove the Environment and
Workspace storage selectors. Show an advisory **Available in** list of
the environments that can use the project's storage. Show it when a
storage plugin is installed or when the project uses one. When the
project's plugin is not installed, show **Storage plugin unavailable**.
Without a storage plugin, show nothing.
- **Issue workspace card.** Remove the "project default" environment
label.
- **Shared contract.** Remove `Project.environmentId`, the
`environmentId` project field, and `expectedStorageProviderPluginId`
from the update schema. The create schema keeps `environmentId` and
`expectedStorageProviderPluginId` from #20587.
- **Docs and maps.** Update `doc/project-environment-compatibility.md`,
`docs/api/goals-and-projects.md`, and the project feature and
agent-access maps.
- **SDK source pins.** Refresh
`tests/runner-e2e/source-sdk-public-inputs.json` for the two shared
files. The shared file blobs return to their values before #20651. The
refresh also corrects the `pnpm-lock.yaml` pin and `lockSha256`:
`master` pins an older lockfile blob than the one it contains.

## Verification

- Targeted server suites pass (227 tests): `project-environments`,
`project-workspace-provider.integration`,
`heartbeat/environment-selection`, `execution-workspace-policy`,
`environment-selection-route-guards`, `environment-run-orchestrator`,
`openapi-routes`.
- Related server suites pass (349 tests): `environment-service`,
`environment-routes`, `plugin-workspaces.integration`, `issues-service`.
- Targeted UI suites pass: `ProjectProperties.concurrency`,
`IssueWorkspaceCard`, `NewProjectDialog`,
`NewProjectDialog.managed-sandbox`, `ProjectDetail`.
- New tests:
- Creation saves storage, not an environment. Core and plugin projects
both reject a storage change with `project_storage_locked`.
  - A legacy policy `environmentId` is dropped on create and update.
- A new run follows the agent default for any project. A recovered run
keeps its admitted lease after the agent default changes.
- Project Configuration has no storage or environment selector. The note
is hidden without a plugin. It lists the core or plugin environments for
the project's storage. It shows **Storage plugin unavailable** for a
removed plugin.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`, `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/ui typecheck`, and `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared
typecheck` pass.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db check:migrations`, `pnpm
check:token-gates`, `node scripts/check-maps.mjs`, and `node
tests/runner-e2e/source-sdk-public-inputs.mjs <HEAD> --check` pass.
- Not run locally: the full `pnpm test:run`, `pnpm build`, and browser
suites. CI supplies that coverage.
- Manual check: open Project Configuration on an instance with a storage
plugin. Confirm that there is no Environment or Workspace storage
selector, and that **Available in** lists the environments.

## Risks

- **Migration.** `0466` drops `projects.environment_id` and its foreign
key. The migration deletes the saved project environments. Apply it
before you serve the new revision. An old server revision that reads
`projects` fails until it stops. This is the same pattern as earlier
drop-column migrations (`0229`, `0289`).
- **Behavior change for existing projects.** Projects created after
#20651 shipped have a saved environment that overrides the agent. After
this change, their runs follow the agent default again. This is the
intended fix. Before #20651, a project environment selection was not
applied to runs (#11644), so no older behavior is lost.
- **No path from core to a plugin.** A core project, including one
created before a plugin was installed, cannot move to the plugin. To use
plugin storage, create a new project.
- **API.** A `PATCH` that sends `environmentId` or
`expectedStorageProviderPluginId` no longer has an effect. The schema
strips these fields.

DottaandClaude Fable 5.2 1d52436bf8 fix(config): detect the tailnet bind host only when the bind reads it, one time per process (#20843)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server reads its configuration through `loadConfig()` in
`server/src/config.ts`. Runtime code calls it often:
`getStorageService()` calls it on each use, and the native runtime calls
it for backup storage, response delivery and attachment reuse
> - `loadConfig()` called `detectTailnetBindHost()` on each call. That
function runs `tailscale ip -4` with `execFileSync`, which is a
synchronous child process. The event loop stops until the child process
ends
> - A CPU profile of a busy hosted server showed this cost on the main
thread, on a server that does not bind to a tailnet
> - The tailnet address is an input only to the bind host, and only the
listener that the server binds at startup uses the bind host. Most bind
configurations never read the address
> - This pull request makes `loadConfig()` detect the address only when
the bind configuration reads it, and keeps the result for the life of
the process
> - The benefit is that a `loadConfig()` call no longer starts a child
process on runtime paths, so the event loop stays free for requests

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists. I searched open and closed pull requests for
`tailscale loadConfig` and `detectTailnetBindHost` and found no related
work.

**What happened?**
Each `loadConfig()` call started `tailscale ip -4` as a synchronous
child process. A 30 second CPU profile of the main thread of a hosted
server (commit 556b249897, Node 24, main thread at 96% of one core)
showed `detectTailnetBindHost` ← `loadConfig` at 3.1% inclusive and the
native child-process spawn at 3.6% self. The callers in the profile were
`getStorageService`, `durableNativeHarnessStorage`,
`restoreDurableHarnessForExecution` and
`createRunnerdBackendWithinSessionClaim`. The server process was about
4.4 GB resident, which makes each spawn more expensive. The cost is the
same when the `tailscale` command is not installed, because the spawn
still runs.

**Expected behavior**
`loadConfig()` starts `tailscale` only when the bind configuration reads
a tailnet address: `server.bind=tailnet`, or a host without a bind mode
that is not loopback and not all interfaces. It starts it at most one
time per process. A change to `PAPERCLIP_TAILNET_BIND_HOST`, to another
environment variable or to the config file is still visible to the next
`loadConfig()` call.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsx
scripts/benchmark-config-load.ts --calls=200` on the parent commit. The
benchmark puts a counting `tailscale` stand-in first on `PATH`, so it
does not need Tailscale.
2. Read the `tailscale execs` column. Each scenario shows 200 execs for
200 calls.

**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at e2cf9a670f. The profile is from 556b249897.

**Deployment mode**
All modes. The profile is from an `authenticated` hosted server. The
benchmark covers `bind=lan`, the default loopback bind and
`bind=tailnet`.

**Node.js version**
Profile: Node 24. Local benchmark: Node 26.4.0 on darwin arm64.

## What Changed

- `server/src/config.ts`: `loadConfig()` calls `detectTailnetBindHost()`
only when the bind configuration reads the address. With a configured
bind mode, that is `tailnet` only. Without one, it is a host that
`inferBindModeFromHost` cannot resolve to loopback or all interfaces
without the address.
- `server/src/config.ts`: the result of `tailscale ip -4` is kept for
the life of the process, also when the command fails.
`PAPERCLIP_TAILNET_BIND_HOST` is not kept: each call reads it first, as
before.
- `server/src/__tests__/config-tailnet-bind-detection.test.ts` (new):
regression tests that count `tailscale` starts.
- `server/scripts/benchmark-config-load.ts` (new): the reproduction and
benchmark.
- `doc/DEVELOPING.md`: removed the advice to set
`PAPERCLIP_TAILNET_BIND_HOST` for local fixtures to prevent repeated
discovery. The server no longer repeats discovery.
- `cli/src/config/server-bind.ts` has its own copy of the detection. It
is not changed: it detects only for `bind=tailnet` and runs in short CLI
commands, not on a server runtime path.

## Verification

Regression test, red then green:

- `cd server && pnpm exec vitest run
src/__tests__/config-tailnet-bind-detection.test.ts`
- Parent commit: 11 of 11 tests fail. Examples: `expected 1 to be +0`
for `bind=lan` (the command ran when it must not), `expected 3 to be 1`
for `bind=tailnet` (the command ran on each call).
- This branch: 11 of 11 tests pass.
- The tests assert the number of `tailscale` starts and the resolved
bind host. They do not assert time. They cover `bind=loopback`, `lan`,
`custom`, loopback and all-interfaces hosts without a bind mode,
repeated `getStorageService()`, `bind=tailnet`, bind inference from a
host, `PAPERCLIP_TAILNET_BIND_HOST` (used without the command, each
change visible), a bind mode change in the environment and in the config
file, and the unchanged refusal when no tailnet address exists.

Benchmark, same machine, 200 calls per scenario, 3 runs each (ranges
shown):

| Scenario | Before: `tailscale` execs | Before: ms per call | After:
`tailscale` execs | After: ms per call |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `loadConfig()`, `bind=lan` | 200 | 4.5 to 6.0 | 0 | 0.063 to 0.069 |
| `getStorageService()`, `bind=lan` | 200 | 4.0 to 4.5 | 0 | 0.043 to
0.060 |
| `loadConfig()`, default loopback | 200 | 4.0 to 4.5 | 0 | 0.046 to
0.053 |
| `loadConfig()`, `bind=tailnet` | 200 | 3.8 to 5.1 | 1 | 0.74 to 0.92 |

- Command: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsx
scripts/benchmark-config-load.ts --calls=200`
- Each call is synchronous, so the time per call is time that the event
loop is blocked. For 200 calls the block went from about 750 to 1200 ms
to about 9 to 14 ms where the bind does not read a tailnet address.
- The `bind=tailnet` row after the fix contains the one detection (about
150 ms for the first start of the new stand-in file on macOS). The other
199 calls start no process.
- `loadConfig()` also reads and validates the config file on each call.
After the fix a full call costs about 0.05 ms locally, so the file read
is not a material cost and this pull request does not change it. A
hosted server reads a stored snapshot from memory, not a file.

Other checks:

- `cd server && pnpm exec vitest run
src/__tests__/managed-runtime-public-url.test.ts
src/__tests__/native-harness-backup-expiration-config.test.ts
src/__tests__/chat-webhook-public-url.test.ts
src/__tests__/managed-cloud-prerequisites.test.ts
src/__tests__/managed-loopback-auth.test.ts
src/__tests__/cloud-runtime-config.test.ts`: 84 tests pass.
- `tsc --noEmit` over the three changed TypeScript files: clean.
- `pnpm verify` exits 2 (broader verification required, because of the
new file in `server/scripts`). Required CI supplies that coverage.
- Not verified: the benchmark on Linux with a multi-gigabyte process,
and the hosted server after deploy. The local numbers come from a 200 MB
process, where a spawn is cheaper than on the profiled server.

## Risks

- Low risk. The resolved `bind`, `host` and `customBindHost` are the
same as before for each configuration. A configured bind mode other than
`tailnet` never used the detected address, and a loopback or
all-interfaces host resolved before the address was read.
- Behavior shift: a server process detects the Tailscale address one
time. If Tailscale starts, stops or changes its address later,
`loadConfig()` in that process still returns the first result until
restart. The server binds its listener one time at startup, so the
listener already had this property. From the code (not reproduced):
before this change, a `bind=tailnet` server whose Tailscale stopped
after startup threw from each later `loadConfig()` call on runtime
paths. It now continues with the address from startup.
- A failed detection is also kept. With `bind=tailnet` the server
refuses to start, as before, and the next start detects again.
`PAPERCLIP_TAILNET_BIND_HOST` overrides a kept result at once.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 0b8ba1ac92 fix(queue): show messages a booting run's first turn takes as sent (#20822)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Task chat lets a person send follow-up messages to a running agent,
and steer them into the live turn
> - A sandboxed run (for example on Daytona) can take minutes to boot
before its provider session exists
> - A message sent during that boot cannot be steered, so it waits in
the steering pane
> - The runner then puts the message into its first turn, and the server
removes it from the queue, but the view has no signal for this, so the
message stays in the steering pane as "queued"
> - That stale local entry also hides the queue id, so Steer and Discard
fail for every later message
> - This pull request tells the view which messages the first turn
takes, and drops local queue entries whose run has settled
> - The benefit is that a message sent while the sandbox boots shows as
sent at once, and later messages keep working Steer and Discard

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A person sent a follow-up while the agent's sandbox was booting. The
message stayed in the steering pane with Steer unavailable. After the
agent started, the message stayed there. The agent had received it in
its first turn. Later, Discard on that message failed with "Couldn't
discard. Message is still queued.", and a new message also stayed in the
steering pane.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Assign a task to a Paperclip Runner agent that runs in a Daytona
sandbox.
2. While the sandbox boots, send a follow-up message.
3. Wait for the agent's first response. The message is still in the
steering pane.
4. After the run hands off to a successor run, send another message and
try to discard the first one.

**Expected behavior**
A message sent while the run is starting shows as a sent message. Later
messages keep working Steer and Discard.

**Actual behavior**
The first message stays in the steering pane. Discard fails, and the new
message cannot be steered until the page reloads.

## What Changed

- `firstTurnQueuedCommentIds` (server, `first-turn-queued-input.ts`)
returns the messages in a deferred queue that the target run's first
turn already sealed, or will take while it is still starting. It uses
the same eligibility rule as `claimFirstTurnQueuedInput`. It reads only
lean columns, so the queue poll does not transfer run snapshots or large
wake payloads.
- The queue read path and the queue mutation path both put these ids in
a new optional `firstTurnCommentIds` field on `IssueQueuedCommentQueue`.
- The task view puts each of those messages in the conversation as input
of that run, at its submission time, and not in the steering pane.
- The task view no longer treats a saved message as a pending local
queue entry after its target run is no longer live. A request that is
still in flight keeps its original target.

## Verification

- Red-green server test: `issue-queued-comments-routes.test.ts` "reports
the messages a preparing/native run's first turn takes, before and after
it seals them" and "reports no first-turn messages once the run's turn
already started". Before the fix, `firstTurnCommentIds` was `undefined`.
- Red-green UI tests: `IssueDetail.test.tsx` "shows a message the
booting run's first turn takes as sent, not queued" (still starting, and
sealed) and "keeps queue controls for a new message after the run that
took an earlier one hands off". Before the fix, the queue held
`['new-message', 'boot-message']` and the queue id was withheld.
- Reproduced on staging first: the run's context held a first-turn
receipt for the stuck message, and the server queue had no entries,
while the view still showed it as queued.
- `npx vitest run` for `issue-queued-comments-routes`,
`queued-comment-consumption`, `queued-comment-postgres`,
`queued-comment-use-cases`: 172 passed. The existing queue-poll byte
budget tests still pass.
- `npx vitest run src/pages/IssueDetail.test.tsx
src/components/task-chat src/lib/issue-queued-comment-queue
src/lib/optimistic-issue-comments`: 1288 passed.
- `tsc --noEmit` for shared, server, and ui: no new errors.
- `pnpm verify` exits 2 because the change touches `packages/shared`.
Required CI supplies the broad coverage.

## Risks

- Low risk. The new field is optional and only for display. Delivery
still belongs to the first-turn claim and the deferred wake.
- If a starting run fails before its first turn, the field goes away and
the message shows in the queue again for the next run. This is correct,
because the deferred wake still holds it.
- The queue read adds one lean run read and one comment read only while
a deferred queue targets a running run.

DottaandClaude Fable 5.2 a4b872477e fix(chat): do not wake the assignee for a decision its own run recorded (#20842)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A task can be bound to a chat conversation (Slack, Telegram).
Confirmation cards are published there
> - The assignee's running turn can record the user's chat reply as the
decision on a card (resolve-from-comment). That run already owns the
decision, and the in-app route does not wake the agent again
> - The chat continuation worker (`interaction_wakeup`) still woke the
assignee for that decision
> - The wake waited behind the running turn. When it was promoted, the
reply was already delivered, so its context kept `source:
chat:<provider>` but no chat message
> - Reviewed-chat attestation then refused the run
(`reviewed_chat_execution_binding_not_authorized`, `context_mismatch`).
The refusal is correct; the wake should not exist
> - This pull request makes the worker settle that action without a wake
> - The benefit is no failed setup run on the task, and no change to any
permission check

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20809

**What happened?**
On staging, an automation-triggered run failed in about 5 s with
`setup_failed` and error
`reviewed_chat_execution_binding_not_authorized` (denial reason
`context_mismatch`). The task was bound to a Slack thread and was
`in_review`. The assignee's previous run had recorded the user's Slack
reply as acceptance of a plan confirmation and kept working. The chat
continuation worker then queued a second wake for the same decision.
That wake carried no undelivered chat message, so attestation found zero
admitted comment ids.

**Expected behavior**
No second wake. The responding run already acts on the decision, as in
the in-app path.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Bind a task to a Slack conversation and publish a
`request_confirmation` card with `continuationPolicy: wake_assignee`.
2. While the assignee's run is active, the user replies in Slack. The
run calls `POST
/api/issues/:id/interactions/:interactionId/resolve-from-comment`.
3. The worker processes the `interaction_wakeup` chat action and wakes
the assignee. The wake is deferred behind the active run and loses the
delivered reply. With the task `in_review`, the next run fails
attestation.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/chat-channels/interactions/continuations.ts`:
when the current interaction was resolved by the assignee's own run from
a comment (`resolvedByAgentId` is the assignee, `resolvedByRunId` is
set, no `resolvedByUserId`, and `result.commentId` is set; only
resolve-from-comment writes that), the worker marks the action
`processed` with `interaction_wakeup_owned_by_responding_run` and
creates no wake. Actions saved before the deploy take the same path.
- `server/src/__tests__/chat-interaction-publications.test.ts`: real
resolve-from-comment flow (no wake) and the board-accept control (one
wake).
- Reviewed-chat attestation and every authorization check are unchanged.

## Verification

- Red on master: the new test fails, `wakeup` called 1 time.
- Green: `server/src/__tests__/chat-interaction-publications.test.ts`
32/32 pass.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` passes.

## Risks

- Low. Only a self-resolved, comment-recorded decision skips the wake. A
user decision through a chat button or the board still wakes the
assignee.
- Not covered here: a user decision made through a chat button while
another run of the task is active can still be deferred and lose its
chat comment id. That is a separate case and is not changed by this PR.

DottaandPaperclip 81c9143fe4 fix: upgrade Better Auth to 1.7.16 with account migration (#18906)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - The board uses Better Auth for credential accounts and sessions.
> - The server pins Better Auth 1.7.2.
> - The November security release fixes 12 issues in Better Auth.
> - The new version stops writing the old required account issuer field.
> - This change updates the packages and the database contract together.
> - New users can sign up, and existing users can still sign in.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
The server uses Better Auth 1.7.2. The [security
release](https://better-auth.com/blog/security-release-2026-11-03) fixes
12 issues in 1.7.16. Earlier update PRs #17909 and #17911 target 1.7.7,
which is below this security release.

**Expected behavior**
Use the patched stable release. Keep new and existing credential
accounts usable.

**Steps to reproduce**
Read the server dependency pin. Upgrade it without a schema change.
Better Auth then rejects the required account issuer column. See the
[upgrade guide](https://better-auth.com/docs/guides/1-7-upgrade-guide).

## What Changed

- Pin Better Auth to 1.7.16. The repository refresh bot owns the
committed Core lockfile.
- Make the old issuer column nullable. Keep existing issuer values.
- Replace the issuer index with a unique provider/account index.
- Generate the migration and retain the five newest schema snapshots.
- Test new signup, new-account sign-in, legacy issuer sign-in, duplicate
rejection, and separate provider identities with real PostgreSQL.
- Update the database schema test. Test the historical issuer backfill
separately. Verify upgrades over existing rows and rollback on duplicate
provider/account keys.
- Document the duplicate check and migration order.
- Add the approved two-line dependency resolution step before the backup
job’s frozen install. Leave the frozen check and backup tests intact.

## Verification

- Core head: `af70282c7e24335b8688c8f3cc88fdf65045632c`; parent
`0f1481e4462100357a7caa496b875cf0bc500d95` includes master `84fc67317`.
- Nine changed files. The only workflow edit is the approved two-line
backup dependency resolution step; no managed lockfile edits.
- Migration `0465_better_auth_account_identity.sql` is three SQL
statements; snapshot changes only `public.account`, five newest
snapshots retained.
- DB typecheck and 23 focused tests passed on the parent. Both real
PostgreSQL migration/signup suites were rerun November 11: all 4 tests
passed. Application source and tests are unchanged in this workflow-only
commit.
- The parent’s sandbox-provider lane passed all 205 file-sync tests but
reported an unhandled EPIPE during the symlink rejection case; its
aggregate verify therefore failed. No unrelated source change was made.
The new head reruns the full applicable CI.
- Reproduced the old backup install failure locally. Resolving manifests
followed by a frozen install passed locally; restored the bot-owned
committed lock afterward. Hosted backup qualification remains required.
- Current-head CI and review are running; no final-head green claim or
merge yet.

## Risks

Apply the migration before the new server starts. Check for duplicate
provider/account pairs first. Duplicate rows stop index creation. Keep
separate users separate when resolving duplicates. The migration keeps
issuer data. Do not restore its NOT NULL constraint while new rows
contain null. No deployment is included.

expose a more specific model ID or context window.

DottaandPaperclip aaf1337c7b fix(slack): require mentions only for channel roots (#20821)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents for work.
> - Slack connects people to those agents through channels and threads.
> - A mention can start a conversation without making the bot answer all
channel traffic.
> - The current setting also requires mentions on every thread reply.
> - This interrupts an existing conversation and can cancel a queued
reply.
> - This change requires mentions on channel roots and allows replies
without a mention.
> - People can continue a thread without adding the bot name to each
message.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The Slack connection setting that requires an at-mention.

**Current behavior**
When the setting is on, a channel thread reply must mention the bot. The
delivery and execution checks reject a reply that has no mention.

**Proposed behavior**
Require a mention on a top-level channel message. Allow replies in
existing threads without a mention. Keep the current DM access controls.

**Reason and benefit**
A person can continue an existing conversation without repeating the bot
name.

**Breaking changes**
Existing connections with the setting on will accept thread replies
without a mention. The saved setting, default value, and API field stay
the same.

## What Changed

- Rename the control to **Require at-mention in channels**. Explain the
thread and DM rules in the help text and operator documentation.
- Keep the mention policy in the Slack module. Use the thread root and
message IDs to identify a reply.
- Call that policy from durable admission, wake authorization, and
queued run start. These shared paths must enforce the same setting when
a delivery resumes. Other providers keep their current behavior.
- Update PostgreSQL integration tests for thread replies, DMs, queued
deliveries, and combined wake inputs. Add tests that reject incomplete
reply identity.

## Verification

- Reproduced rejected thread replies and cancelled queued reply runs
before the fix.
- Passed 16 focused PostgreSQL integration cases after the fix.
- Passed 71 tests on revision `31b1adede2b92bad24b8fa21b8f6fffa9bd26d04`
after the rebase. This includes the full durable wakeup suite, Slack
policy tests, and eight selected Slack delivery cases.
- Command: `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/services/chat-channels/slack/wake-authority.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/durable-chat-wakeup.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/chat-channels.integration.test.ts -t "at-mentions
by default|thread replies without mentions|rechecks queued
Slack|preserves running Slack tool authority|Slack channel mention
policy|durable inbound chat scheduler receipts"`.
- Strengthened the queued-root test to check the mention-rejection
reason and content redaction. A temporary change that disabled mention
enforcement caused this test to fail with the unrelated-message reason.
The real policy is restored.
- Removed the added source comments to follow the contribution rules.
- `node scripts/check-module-boundaries.mjs` and `git diff --check`
pass.
- `pnpm verify` returns exit 2 because the operator documentation is a
global CI input. Required CI must supply the wider coverage.
- Local preflight installed dependencies and built the plugin SDK. It
could not build Runner Rust binaries because this environment has no
`cargo` executable. The focused server tests run without those binaries.
- Live Slack and browser tests were not run. This change uses the
existing provider message and thread identities.

- Required CI passed on `31b1adede2b92bad24b8fa21b8f6fffa9bd26d04`: [PR
workflow](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/43035551294),
including typecheck, build, server/chat tests, Runner checks, and
browser E2E. Current-head Greptile and Paperclip reviews are both 5/5
with no open findings.

## Risks

- Existing connections with mention gating on will now accept
unmentioned thread replies. This is the intended behavior change.
- A missing or invalid thread or message ID does not grant the reply
exception.
- No schema migration is required. Destination, sender, and company
access checks stay in place.
- The existing chat integration test file is large. This change updates
its current Slack cases to reuse the full delivery and authorization
fixture.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning and code execution tools.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 6dd8611a2f fix(queue): keep tool action outcomes out of the steering queue (#20582)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents ask a person to approve a governed tool action (for example,
create a Notebook page) before the tool runs
> - Approve means run: the tool runs as soon as the person approves it,
and the approval card then shows Executed, Failed or Declined
> - After the tool runs, the server wakes the agent with the recorded
result. When another turn is active, that wake waits behind it
> - The composer queue lists waiting interaction receipts as messages.
The result wake carries the approval's interaction id and status, so the
queue shows "Accepted: Approve tool action" with an Interrupt control,
after the tool already ran
> - People read this row as an approval that is still not done, and
Interrupt stops their current turn only to deliver a tool result
> - This pull request keeps tool action outcome wakes out of the
composer queue and out of its steer, interrupt and discard actions
> - The benefit is a steering pane that shows only messages the person
can act on, while the agent still receives the tool result after the
current turn

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
After a person approves a governed tool action, the tool runs and its
card shows Succeeded. When the person then sends a new message, the
composer queue shows a row "Accepted: Approve tool action" with
Interrupt and Discard controls. The row stays until the active turn
ends.

**What did you expect?**
The steering pane does not show the tool result as a queued message. The
approval card already shows the outcome. The agent receives the result
after the current turn.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Let an agent request approval for a governed tool action
(`request_confirmation` with `payload.toolAction`).
2. Approve it. The tool runs and the card shows Succeeded.
3. Send a new message so a new turn starts before the result wake runs.
4. See "Accepted: Approve tool action" in the composer queue.

## What Changed

- Add `isToolActionOutcomeReceipt` in
`server/src/services/queued-interaction-response.ts`. It identifies an
interaction receipt wake that carries a tool action (`toolAction`
identity or `toolActionRequestIds`).
- `findQueuedCommentWake` in `server/src/routes/issues.ts` skips these
wakes, so `GET /issues/:id/queued-comments` does not list them. The
payload projection adds only the tool action's `actionRequestId`,
`toolName` and `toolActionRequestIds`, never its result text.
- The locked by-id queue lookup (steer, interrupt, discard) rejects
these wakes with `queued_comment_not_pending`, so a stale client cannot
interrupt a turn for a tool result.
- Delivery, stranded-queue recovery and the handback hold
(`readQueuedInteractionResponse`, `hasQueuedInteractionResponse`) do not
change. The agent still receives the result.
- Add route tests for accepted and declined tool action outcomes. They
check that the queue is empty, the wake stays
`deferred_issue_execution`, and the issue still has owed interaction
input.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/issue-queued-comments-routes.test.ts
src/services/issue-queued-comment-queue.test.ts`: 137 of 137 tests pass.
The new tests fail without the fix (the queue lists the receipt).
- On a heavily loaded machine (load average about 25), the embedded
Postgres `afterAll` teardown timed out once at 30 s after all tests
passed. This is not related to the change.
- `cd server && npx tsc --noEmit -p .`: clean.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change only filters the user-facing queue view and its
by-id actions.
- A tool action outcome wake no longer appears as an Interrupt target.
Before, Interrupt could deliver a tool result into a new turn early. Now
the result arrives when the current turn ends, as for other system
deliveries.
- #13160 refactors the same steering path. One of the two PRs may need a
small rebase.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 4c04c20c9e fix(recovery): wake a parent whose refused completion waited on dependencies that later clear (#20803)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A parent task that waits on blocker tasks resumes through the
`issue_blockers_resolved` wake
> - A periodic dependency sweep sends that wake when a blocked task's
dependencies become ready and no wake covers the current blocked cycle
> - The sweep skips a task that its own agent blocked, because that
agent waits on something outside the blocker graph
> - A native completion that Paperclip refuses for unresolved
dependencies is also recorded as a block by the agent's own run
(`durable_dependency_blocker_bound`). The sweep treated it as a
self-block. It woke the task only if a blocker later completed or
finalized on its workspace
> - When readiness cleared another way, nothing woke the task. It stayed
`blocked` with no next action
> - This pull request makes the sweep treat that refusal as a dependency
wait, and count a "Recover saved files" finalize without a workspace as
the blocker settling
> - The benefit is that a blocked task is not a silent dead end: it
resumes once, automatically, when its dependencies clear

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20728

**What happened?**
A parent task had three done child tasks that block it. One child was
still listed as "saving its files", because a "Recover saved files"
finalize had no workspace. The parent's agent tried to finish. Paperclip
refused the completion because dependencies were unresolved and set the
parent `blocked` (`durable_dependency_blocker_bound`). After #20728 was
deployed, the parent's dependencies were ready. But the task stayed
`blocked` with no wake, no Retry, and no next action. A person had to
post a comment to wake it.

**Expected behavior**
When the last blocker of a blocked task clears, by status or by finalize
settlement, Paperclip wakes the assignee once. This also applies to
tasks already blocked before a deploy that changes readiness.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Block a task on a done blocker whose workspace finalize is still
pending.
2. Let the assignee agent's native run report the task done. Paperclip
sets the task `blocked` with `durable_dependency_blocker_bound`.
3. Make the blocker settle without a later blocker completion or a
finalize on its workspace (for example, a recovery finalize with no
workspace, or a deploy that changes the readiness rule).
4. Run the dependency sweep. Before this fix it reports
`selfBlockedSkipped: 1` and sends no wake.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/recovery/service.ts`
(`wasBlockedByAssigneeAgent`): a native block with reason
`durable_dependency_blocker_bound` is not a self-block. The dependency
owns its wake. Other native blocks and agent blocks keep the self-block
rule.
- The same function counts a later succeeded `workspace_finalize` with
`owningService: workspace_recovery` and no workspace as the blocker
settling, which matches the readiness rule from #20728.
- `server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-issue-liveness-escalation.test.ts`:
regression tests for the refused-completion shape (one wake, no second
wake), the recovery finalize without a workspace, and a safety case for
a different native block reason.
- `server/src/services/workspace-recovery-dependency-finalize.test.ts`:
a characterization test that a real "Recover saved files" signals the
dependency sweep for the company. This path already existed; the test
keeps it.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: documents when the dependency sweep
wakes after the last blocker clears.

## Verification

- Red (unfixed `service.ts`): `npx vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-issue-liveness-escalation.test.ts -t "refused
for unresolved|still holds a native block|recovery finalize without a
workspace"` fails 2 of 3 tests with `selfBlockedSkipped` 1 instead of 0.
- Green (fixed):
`src/__tests__/heartbeat-issue-liveness-escalation.test.ts` passes 44 of
44.
- Related suites pass:
`src/__tests__/issue-dependency-wakeups-routes.test.ts`,
`src/__tests__/heartbeat-dependency-scheduling.test.ts`,
`src/services/workspace-recovery-dependency-finalize.test.ts`,
`src/__tests__/issue-recovery-dependencies.test.ts` (43 tests). Server
`tsc --noEmit` passes.
- `pnpm verify` exits 2 because a doc change is a global CI input.
Required CI supplies broad coverage.
- Staging evidence (read only): the affected parent's activity shows
`native-status-committer` set it `blocked` with
`durable_dependency_blocker_bound`, and no later blocker completion or
finalize.

## Risks

- Previous-release story: no persisted shape changes. Tasks already
`blocked` with `durable_dependency_blocker_bound` and ready dependencies
are picked up by the existing dependency sweep after deploy (it visits
every blocked task at startup and on recovery signals). No migration.
- Bounded: the wake uses the cycle-aware ready-state key, so one blocked
cycle gets one wake. The sweep keeps its live-run, queued-wake,
pending-interaction, and pause-hold checks.
- No loop: if the woken agent blocks the task again while its
dependencies are ready, the reason is not
`durable_dependency_blocker_bound`, so the self-block rule applies.
- The recovery finalize rule only applies to a finalize on the blocker
task itself with `owningService: workspace_recovery` and no workspace.

DottaandClaude 9574065a28 fix(workspaces): hand on a proven-unchanged preparation epoch instead of abandoning it (#20736)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A native run on a remote sandbox first restores its workspace's
saved version, publishes that root as its dirty epoch, and only then
starts work
> - A restart that kills the run in that window leaves the epoch dirty.
The ownership settle (`settlePreparationOnlyRemoteWorkspaceEpoch`)
always abandons it: the root is forgotten and the retry restores the
saved version into a new directory
> - The saved provider session still names the old directory, which is
what #20712 and #20723 now have to handle
> - In the common case the killed preparation only restored the saved
version and changed nothing. A durable proof for exactly that already
exists (`proveRemoteWorkspaceUnchanged`, used when the next admission
finds an ended writer)
> - This pull request makes the settle use that proof first, and keeps
abandoning whenever the proof fails
> - The benefit is a stable workspace root across a restart during
preparation, with no change for anything unproven

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20712

**What happened?**
In restart-chaos waves, a server kill during a follow-up's preparation
(right after the workspace restore published) made the ownership settle
abandon the epoch. The retry restored into `<workspace>-<epoch>-<lease>`
instead of the published root, and the inherited session checkpoint
named a root that no longer existed.

**Expected behavior**
When durable records prove the killed preparation only restored the
saved version, the workspace is handed on at that saved version and
keeps its root. Anything unproven is abandoned exactly as before.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a remote native task to a saved version, then start a follow-up
or continuation run.
2. Kill the server after the follow-up's restore publishes (crash point
`remote_workspace.prepare.after_publish_before_provision`).
3. Let ownership reconciliation settle the dirty epoch, then let the
retry prepare.

## What Changed

- `recovery/remote-workspace-unsaved-files-settlement.ts`: before it
abandons a preparation-only epoch, the settle calls the existing
`releaseUnchangedRemoteWorkspaceWriterById` (lock the workspace, check
the writer, then `releaseUnchangedRemoteWorkspaceWriter`). That releases
the writer at its saved version (dirty false, writer cleared, location
and root kept, baseline marked released, run reference set to `saved`)
only when `proveRemoteWorkspaceUnchanged` holds. The proof requires all
of these durable records:
- the unchanged-baseline marker for this exact epoch, run and saved
version. It is written in the same transaction that publishes the
restored root, so a kill mid-restore leaves no marker;
- no recorded process, process group, process start or provider session;
- no execution-start run event, no native result and no native runner
checkpoint (the controller writes one before every runner command);
- no workspace operation other than the file-neutral restore, finalize
and recovery receipts (provisioning and saves record theirs before they
touch files);
  - every workspace repository already in the saved version.
- If the proof fails for any reason, the settle abandons the epoch
exactly as before. The existing settle preconditions (run terminal,
still `preparing`, no finalization, no work-started event, no save in
flight) are unchanged and run first.
- `packages/shared/src/crash-point-registry.ts` and
`remote-workspaces.ts`: add the crash point
`remote_workspace.prepare.after_publish_before_provision`, so the chaos
harness can kill exactly at this boundary. It counts only a preparation
that published an unchanged baseline (a restore of a saved version), and
it is a no-op unless a test arms it.
`tests/runner-e2e/source-sdk-public-inputs.json` is refreshed because
the registry file is a pinned SDK input.
- Test `ownership-reconciliation-report.test.ts`: a proven-clean epoch
is handed on with its root kept, with no abandonment receipt, and the
writer hold is free for the retry. These cases are still abandoned
exactly as before: no baseline (an epoch saved by the previous release),
a baseline for another epoch, an already-released baseline, a
provisioning operation. A run with a recorded process is still neither
handed on nor abandoned by this settle.

Previous-release story: an epoch saved by a release that did not write
the baseline marker has no proof, so it is abandoned as before. No
persisted shape changes; the marker already exists on master.

## Verification

- Red: with the release branch disabled, the new test fails on the clean
case (the epoch is abandoned). Green with the change.
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/ownership-reconciliation-report.test.ts
src/services/remote-workspace-snapshot-reuse.test.ts
src/__tests__/crash-point-call-sites.test.ts` passes. `packages/shared`
`crash-points.test.ts` passes. `tsc --noEmit -p server` passes.
- Live Daytona waves (claude, workload S1, the new crash point at the
continuation's preparation (`:2` before the point was gated to saved
restores; `:1` now), image built from master `e039be9202`, one task
each):

| | before (release disabled) | after |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Killed epoch 2 | abandoned (`workspace.remote_epoch_abandoned`) |
handed on (`workspace.snapshot_skipped_unchanged`, epoch 2) |
| Retry root | new root `…-4-ecf1c81e…` | same published root
`…-1-33e93b90…` |
| Retry `task.prepare` | 4598 ms | 4731 ms |
| Retry restore / environment acquire | 1141 / 1381 ms | 1106 / 1478 ms
|
| Task result | done, no Retry | done, no Retry |
| Stopped or orphan sandbox at rest | none | none |

Preparation time does not change in this setup. The Chaos Lab
environment uses ephemeral leases, so every run gets a fresh sandbox and
a full restore with or without this change, and the killed run's sandbox
is destroyed either way. The gain is the stable root, which keeps the
saved session's working directory valid.

## Risks

- Low. The release path is the same one admission already uses for an
ended writer, under the same proof. The settle now tries it first.
- A proof false positive would keep a root whose files changed. The
proof refuses on every record that precedes a write, and on any missing
or older-release evidence.

DottaandClaude f25fee3532 fix(native): hash runner artifacts and run archive tar off the event loop (#20722)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - One server process prepares native runs, renews every controller
lease on timers, and serves every request
> - On a run path, the server hashed the 31 MB runner binary with
`readFileSync` (more than once per run), hashed provider packs and
harness backups synchronously, and ran `tar` with `execFileSync`
(timeouts up to 60 s, one with no timeout)
> - On a slow disk, each of these calls freezes the whole process. A 103
s stall on a hosted instance lapsed every lease. The last event before
that stall was immediately before a synchronous read and hash of the
runner binary (see #20694 and #20709)
> - This pull request moves those reads, hashes and archive commands off
the event loop. It computes the runner binary digest once per boot
> - The benefit is that a slow disk delays only the run that waits for
it. Turns also start faster, because the runner binary is no longer
re-read for every run

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20694, #20709

**What happened?**

On a hosted instance, the server process stopped for 103 s without a
restart. Every controller lease lapsed, and two tasks needed a manual
Retry. The last run event before the gap was immediately before
`matchesControllerRunnerArtifact`, which does
`createHash("sha256").update(readFileSync(controllerRunnerBinary))`.
Four workspace restores were running at the same time, and file I/O was
very slow (a 43 s archive hash, 20 s snapshot decrypts). The trigger is
not proven. But each synchronous call below blocks the event loop for as
long as the disk is slow.

**Expected behavior**

File hashing and archive commands on a run path must not block the event
loop. A slow disk must delay only the run that waits for it.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Make a remote runner binary slow to read (the test uses a FIFO whose
writer waits), or make `tar` slow (the test puts a `tar` wrapper that
sleeps first on `PATH`).
2. Call `resolveRemotePaperclipRunnerBinary`,
`stageRemoteRunnerDirectory`, or `syncRemoteRunnerDirectoryOut` while a
10 ms timer runs.
3. Before this change, the timer stops for the whole slow step (814 ms,
1,764 ms and 3,379 ms). After this change, it keeps firing.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/native-runtime/off-loop-file-work.ts` (new):
  - `sha256FileStreamed`
- `cachedFileSha256`: a streamed digest, reused while the file's device,
inode, size, mtime and ctime do not change
- `binaryTargetFromHeader`: reads 64 KiB; reads the rest of the file
only when the header cannot answer, so the result equals
`runnerBinaryTarget(readFileSync(path))`
  - `sha256DirectoryTreeStreamed`
- `execFileBuffered`: `execFile` with stdin input, `maxBuffer`,
`timeout` and `env`. It rejects on a non-zero exit, a timeout or a
`maxBuffer` overflow, like `execFileSync`.
- `native-session-executor.ts`:
- `matchesControllerRunnerArtifact` uses `cachedFileSha256`. Each boot
reads the binary once, not once or twice for every run.
  - The remote Claude daemon target is read from the binary header.
- The bundled remote runner binary is checked by
`verifiedBundledRemoteRunnerBinary`: the same checks and errors, with a
cached digest.
- Provider-pack upload verification uses the new
`verifyRemoteProviderPackManifest`. It runs the same checks, in the same
order, with the same errors. One generator drives both the sync and the
streamed readers.
- Harness backup build and verify on run paths use streamed digests
(`buildNativeHarnessBackupManifestStreamed`,
`verifyNativeHarnessBackupStreamed`). The digest format does not change.
- `stageRemoteRunnerDirectory` (3 calls),
`assertSafeRemoteCheckpointArchive` (3 calls) and the checkpoint extract
use `execFileBuffered`, with the same arguments, timeouts and buffer
limits. `stageRemoteRunnerFile` uses `readFile`.
- `packages/paperclip-runner/src/live/runner-binary.ts`: the default
daemon lookup (`resolvePackagedRunnerBinary`, used by the local and
remote resolvers) classifies the daemon with `runnerBinaryFileTarget`.
It reads the 64 KiB header, not the whole file.
- `packages/paperclip-runner/src/live/bundled-remote-provider-pack.ts`:
the release-manifest checks now live in one helper,
`bundledRemoteRunnerRelease`. The sync `bundledRemoteRunnerBinary` and
the server's streamed check both use it.
- `native-codex-runner.ts`:
  - `resolveRemotePaperclipRunnerBinary` reads only the header.
  - The local `runnerDigest` uses `cachedFileSha256`.
  - New `verifiedBundledRemoteRunnerBinary`.

**Ordering and atomicity.** I checked each converted call for code that
relied on the sync call being atomic with respect to other runs:
- **Checkpoint copy-back.** It extracts into a private `mkdtemp`
directory. The replace sequence (`existsSync`, `rename`, `rename`, `rm`)
stays synchronous, so no other run can see a half-installed checkpoint.
This function already awaited a remote command before the extract, so
this change adds no new interleaving with the target.
- **Harness backup verify then restore.** The verify was sync, but the
restore after it was already async. The window between them existed
before. One owner serializes the turns of a session, so no other turn
publishes a backup for that session while a turn verifies it.
- **Staging and provider-pack hashing.** These read build-owned,
immutable trees, or the private staging copies of a run.

## Verification

- Red/green: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/off-loop-file-work.test.ts`
- With `native-session-executor.ts` and `native-codex-runner.ts` from
`origin/master`: 3 failed. The longest timer gaps were 814 ms (runner
binary target read), 1,764 ms (directory staging tar) and 3,379 ms
(checkpoint list, size check and extract).
- With this change: 6 passed. The gaps stay under 400 ms. The same file
also checks the digest cache, the header fallback, and the
`execFileSync`-like errors (exit code, timeout kill,
`ERR_CHILD_PROCESS_STDIO_MAXBUFFER`).
- `native-session-executor.test.ts`:
- The streamed provider-pack verifier returns the same manifest as the
sync reader, and rejects a changed asset tree with the same error.
  - The streamed harness backup manifest equals the sync one.
- The streamed verify agrees with the sync verify, for a valid backup
and for a corrupt one.
- Run together: `native-session-executor`, `off-loop-file-work`,
`native-codex-runner`, `setup-readiness`, `antigravity-connection-probe`
(1,653 passed). `run-completion.test.ts` passed all 153 tests. Its
`afterAll` embedded-Postgres cleanup timed out locally, which is not
related to this change; CI runs it.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsc --noEmit` passes.

## Risks

- **Turn start.** This change adds no wait before `turn.start`; it
removes work. The first run of a boot streams the runner binary once.
Later runs reuse the digest after one `stat`.
- **Cache staleness.** The cache keys on device, inode, size, mtime and
ctime. An in-place rewrite changes mtime and ctime, and a replaced file
changes its inode, so a changed binary is hashed again.
- **stderr.** `execFileSync` wrote a child's stderr to the server's
stderr. `execFileBuffered` captures it. Tar warnings no longer appear in
server logs; errors and exit codes are unchanged.
- **Persisted state.** No persisted shape changes. Old saved state and
new code (and the reverse) read the same manifests and digests.
- **Not converted in this PR:** small metadata syscalls (`existsSync`,
`lstatSync`, `readdirSync`, small JSON reads and writes, renames) in the
native state machines. Some of these rely on running synchronously. Also
not converted: the sync harness backup verify inside the sync
restart-authority checks, and the sync stamp verify in
`native-harness-backup-storage.ts`. Both are listed for a follow-up.

DottaandClaude 16024ffa2a fix(native): a same-boot stall never leaves a run waiting on itself (#20721)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs keep an execution lease. Restart recovery takes over a
run only when it can prove that the recorded controller stopped.
> - A stall (SIGSTOP) longer than the lease, with no restart, makes the
executor lose its own lease. The executor then detaches for "the next
controller" and exits.
> - The next controller is this same process. Recovery asks the PID
probe if the recorded controller is alive. The recorded controller is
this process, so the answer is always "alive".
> - The task then waits forever: `in_progress`, no Retry, an active run,
and an active environment lease.
> - A second gap: after back-to-back stalls mid-tool, the executor
returns and nothing in this process ever looks at the run again. No
terminal state, no recovery and no Retry.
> - This pull request lets recovery recognise its own process. When this
process no longer drives the run and its own lease lapsed, the prior
owner is gone. The existing evidence checks then decide, as for any
stopped controller.
> - It also makes heartbeat schedule that recovery as soon as such an
executor exits.
> - The benefit is that a same-boot stall never needs a manual Retry.
When provider work may have started, the run fails with a working Retry
instead of a wait with no end.

#20691.

**What happened?**
Chaos wave `w-20261111T034105-s9330`, task t02 (Daytona, OpenCode, fault
TM1). The server process was frozen with SIGSTOP for about 84 s while
run `89a3922b` prepared. After SIGCONT, `native.process_start_requested`
was recorded and `native.session.execute` failed after 118 ms: the lease
renewal found the lease lapsed, and the executor detached and exited.
From then on, recovery recorded `native.recovery.transition` "waiting
for safe ownership evidence" with reason `controller_still_alive` every
30 s for more than 20 minutes. The run stayed `running`, the issue
stayed `in_progress`, no Retry was shown, and the environment lease
stayed `active`.

Chaos wave `w-20261111T040439-s9331` (Daytona, codex/claude/opencode,
T1, TM1). Three stalls of about 90 s came back to back, with less than 1
s between them. Each run was in a tool call. After the second thaw,
`native.session.execute` failed for all three runs (lease lost, executor
detached). After that, no run had any event: no terminal state, no
`native.recovery.transition` and no Retry, for 20 minutes. The
in-sandbox turns kept going. A single 90 s stall (wave s9340) stays
green, because a later recovery signal happens to find the run. With
stacked stalls, that signal can land while the executor is still tearing
down, so it skips the run and sets no deadline.

**Expected behavior**
When this process no longer drives a run that it recorded as its own,
recovery takes the run back. No turn reached the runner here, so the
bootstrap restarts on the same run. When a turn or runner work may have
started, the run fails and shows a working Retry.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a native remote (Daytona) run.
2. Send SIGSTOP to the server during preparation, and hold it longer
than the execution lease.
3. Send SIGCONT. The executor loses its lease, detaches and exits.
4. See that every recovery scan waits with `controller_still_alive`, and
the run never settles.

The new tests in `native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts`
("same-boot controller whose own lease lapsed") reproduce this at the
recovery layer.

## What Changed

- `claimNativeRestartRecoveries`: when the recorded controller is this
exact process (same boot ID and PID):
- If this process still drives the run (heartbeat execution or native
executor registered), recovery leaves the run to it
(`current_controller_preparing`).
- If neither drives it and the self lease lapsed, the takeover is
allowed (`current_controller_released`). The existing evidence checks
then choose the outcome: bootstrap again on the same run when a durable
record proves no command reached the runner, or fail with a Retry
(`blocked`) when runner or provider work may have started.
- An unexpired self lease still waits. A claim that has not reached its
executor holds it, and it lapses by itself.
- A run that this process handed to the next server (graceful drain
`restart_suspended` record, or the in-process hot-restart handoff
marker) stays with the next server.
- `heartbeat.ts`: when the executor ends with
`NativeControllerDetachedForRestartError`, there was no shutdown or
hot-restart handoff, and this process's own lease lapsed
(`ownNativeExecutionLeaseLapsed`), heartbeat schedules restart recovery
for the run when the executor exits. Recovery then reattaches the remote
runner whose turn is still running, restarts an unstarted bootstrap, or
fails the run with a working Retry.
- `claimNativeRestartRecoveries`: a self-owned lease that is still live,
with no driver here, now returns a `retryAt` at its expiry, so the wait
is bounded.
- `heartbeat/shutdown-handoff.ts`: add `isRunHandedOffForShutdown`.
Heartbeat recovery passes it to the claim.
- `suspendedByCleanDrain` now uses the shared
`handedToNextControllerSinceClaim` helper. Behavior is the same.
- Heartbeat test: an executor detaches after its own lease lapsed, with
no restart. The same process must take the run back. Red before (timed
out, the run stayed `running`), green after.
- Tests: five cases for the same-boot lapsed lease: bootstrap again with
no runner command; fail with a working Retry when a runner identity was
recorded; leave the run to a live in-process executor; leave a
handed-off run to the next server; still wait for a different live
controller.

## Verification

- Red before the fix: the three same-boot cases returned
`awaiting_evidence` / `controller_still_alive`.
- Green after the fix:
- `pnpm --dir server exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-restart-recovery.test.ts
src/__tests__/heartbeat-native-restart-suspension.test.ts`
- Daytona wave `w-20261111T050504-s9331` from this branch (same seed and
shape as s9331: 3 tasks, concurrency 3, three 90 s TM1 stalls with about
1 s between them). All 3 tasks reached `done` with no Retry. Run
`632f0564` (claude) shows the exact s9331 sequence:
`native.session.execute` failed after 216 s, then
`reattach_remote_runner` 0.4 s later (before the third stall), then a
second reattach after it, and the turn completed. Two tasks are graded
FAIL only on the T1 crossing check: their own fault landed after their
tool loop ended (for example loop ended 05:11:26, fault 05:11:44). Their
status is `done`, with no Retry.
- `tsc --noEmit -p server` is clean.

## Risks

- A same-process recovery scan can now claim a run that this process
recorded as its own. The guard needs all of these: the self lease
lapsed, no in-process execution of the run, and no handoff to the next
server. A claim that is still on its way to its executor holds a live
lease, so it is not taken twice.
- Upgrade safety: the decision uses only the coordinator row and
in-process state. Old saved rows are judged by the same rules. A new
process never matches an old boot ID, so deploys keep the existing proof
path.
- No new waits or file operations run before `turn.start`.
- There is still no ceiling on `awaiting_evidence` for a genuinely
different live controller (case c). This PR does not change that policy.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 d79b7f29f2 fix(heartbeat): bind queued card-answer interrupts to the delivered answer (#20698)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A person can queue direction while a task's run is active, then use
Interrupt to stop the run and start a successor that receives the
direction
> - The queued direction can be an answer to a card, for example an
accepted confirmation of a saved plan
> - `explicitOperatorRunIdentity` verifies the click from the coalesced
queue receipt before the successor run can start
> - That check required comment ids in the receipt, but a card answer
carries its interaction and no comment ids
> - So every claim of the successor failed with 403, and the direction
never reached a run
> - This pull request binds a card-answer receipt to the answer that the
successor run delivers, and to the user who gave it
> - The benefit is that Interrupt works for queued card answers, and the
operator identity stays verified

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #14043, #14510

**What happened**

A person accepted a `request_confirmation` card on a task while its run
was active, and then clicked Interrupt. The active run stopped
("Interrupted to send queued messages"). The successor run was then
cancelled with "Cancelled because the queued run cannot be claimed:
Queued-message interrupt authority is unavailable". The coalesced
receipt had the interaction id and no `queuedCommentIds`. The successor
run's context had the same `interactionId` and the receipt id in
`queuedCommentSourceWakeIds`. The chat eval
`steering.interrupt-with-direction` recorded this.

**Expected behavior**

The successor run starts, receives the accepted direction once, and runs
with the clicking user as its responsible user. A receipt that the run
does not deliver, or an answer that another user gave, still fails
closed.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a run on a task.
2. While the run is active, accept a confirmation card on that task. The
answer goes into the deferred queue.
3. Click Interrupt for the queued messages.
4. Before this change, the successor run is cancelled with
`queued_run_claim_rejected`.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/run-identity.ts`: the shared receipt binding
(consumed `coalesced` receipt for the same company, agent and run; same
task; `user` request from the marker's actor) runs first, as before.
Then:
- A receipt with comment ids keeps the existing rule: all ids must be
delivered to the run.
- A receipt without comment ids must be a queued card answer
(`queuedInteractionId`). The run context must deliver the same
`interactionId`. The interaction must be on the same company and task,
with the receipt's status, and `resolvedByUserId` must be the clicking
user. Then the run gets the operator identity
(`queued_comment_interrupt`). Otherwise the claim still fails with 403.
- `server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-queued-run-claim-isolation.test.ts`: a
successor of a card-answer interrupt is claimed, runs, and has the
clicking user as responsible user. Two negative cases: the run delivers
a different answer, and another user resolved the answer. Both stay
rejected.

Relation to #14510: that open PR fixes the same claim failure (#14043)
by returning `null` for card-answer receipts, so the run starts without
the operator identity. Its Risks section notes that keeping the operator
identity needs a check that the actor resolved the interaction. This PR
adds that check instead, so the successor keeps the identity that
enqueue time records. If maintainers prefer #14510's approach, this PR's
regression test still applies to it.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-queued-run-claim-isolation.test.ts`: the new
positive test fails before the change (successor cancelled) and passes
after it. The negative tests and the existing tests pass.
- Suites that cover interrupt identity, each run separately:
`run-identity` (37), `heartbeat-responsible-user-invariant` (18),
`issue-queued-comments-routes` (129), `deferred-execution-receipt-work`
(50), `task-interruption-query` (31), `explicit-native-continuation`
(436), `run-cancellation` (8), `workspace-recovery-admission` (147),
`wake-queue/adapters/postgres` (113): all pass. In
`heartbeat-process-recovery`, the interrupt-named tests pass except
`dispatches interrupted CLI input and cleans up early fixture exits`,
which fails before any interrupt (the CLI child does not start:
`controller_lease_lost`). It fails the same way on unchanged master on
this loaded host (3 of 3 attempts failed at least one case), so it is
not caused by this change. CI covers it.
- `server` `tsc --noEmit`: no errors in the changed files.
- Live chat eval
`chat-features.runner-opencode.local.steering.interrupt-with-direction`
at this branch (run 42938970466): passed. The old run stopped with
"Interrupted to send queued messages". Exactly one successor run
started, delivered the accepted card answer, ran with the clicking user
as responsible user, and saved the approved single page and its delivery
document. Before this change, the same case failed with the successor
cancelled as `queued_run_claim_rejected`.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change adds a verified path only for receipts that
previously always failed. Comment receipts keep their checks.
- If a different user answered the card than the user who clicked
Interrupt, the claim still fails. The person who answered can click
Interrupt.

DottaandClaude ce3881f1b3 fix(skills): release a skill cache lock whose holder's deployment was replaced (#20688)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Run preparation publishes skill revisions into a shared runtime
skill cache. A file lock serializes each publication. A lock whose
holder provably exited is released at once.
> - That check used `controllerProcessExited`, a PID proof. It fails
closed whenever the recorded process space (host, kernel boot, PID
namespace) differs from this server's.
> - Every Railway deploy starts the server in a new process space. A
lock left by a server that a deploy stopped mid-publish can never be
released. Each later preparation of that skill waits 60 s and fails with
"Runtime skill cache publisher is busy … remove it", until an operator
deletes the file.
> - The rest of recovery already uses one shared prover
(`proveOwnerGone`). Across process spaces it accepts a replaced platform
deployment on the same exclusive volume, or a stopped or fenced server
boot.
> - This pull request makes the skill cache lock use that prover. It was
the last caller of the separate PID-only proof.
> - The benefit is one rule for "the controller from a previous
deployment is provably gone", and no manual file removal after a deploy.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A census of staging failures after deploys showed that
`controllerProcessExited` always fails closed after a deploy, because
the process-space hash changes. On `master`, the only remaining caller
is the runtime skill cache lock check. The restart chaos harness
restarts in the same process space, so the PID proof succeeded there and
hid the gap. I did not find this failure in the staging run census. It
is a latent dead end with the same cause as the census class.

**Expected behavior**
A lock whose holder ran in a deployment that the platform replaced on
the same exclusive volume, or whose server boot stopped or was fenced,
is released at once. Any other holder is still waited for.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run the server on Railway with a volume.
2. Redeploy while a skill revision is being published (the lock file
exists).
3. Prepare a run that needs the same skill revision on the new
deployment.
4. Observe a 60 s wait and `Runtime skill cache publisher is busy; retry
preparation.` on every attempt.

**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at `c444da7d05` (the new test fails there).

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/runtime-skill-cache.ts`:
`runtimeSkillCacheLockHolderExited` builds a local owner stamp from the
recorded controller (boot ID, PID, process space, start time, and the
Railway deployment and volume when recorded). It returns true only for
the `gone` verdict of `proveOwnerGone`.
- Same-space PID rules do not change. A dead PID is gone, a live PID
with no start time is unprovable, and this server's own boot is alive.
- `server/src/__tests__/runtime-skill-cache.test.ts`: a new test for a
holder in another process space whose deployment the platform replaced.
- The proof is bounded by the lock wait (5 s, never past the deadline).
A timed-out or failed proof keeps the lock held. A proof still running
is joined by later waits on the same holder, so a stalled read adds at
most one database query per holder.
- `server/src/services/controller-process-identity.ts`: removes
`controllerProcessExited`, which has no caller left; its test assertions
now check `sameProcessSpace`.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run src/__tests__/runtime-skill-cache.test.ts
src/services/controller-process-space-identity.test.ts` (from
`server/`): 31 passed.
- New: "releases a lock whose holder ran in a deployment the platform
replaced". It fails on `master` (`expected false to be true`) and passes
with this change.
- The same test keeps the lock held for: the same deployment ID, another
volume, a non-exclusive volume, another service, and no recorded
deployment.
- The existing test "never treats age, another host, or a legacy holder
as proof that a lock holder exited" still passes. Without a deployment
or controller lease proof, another host stays held.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json` passes.
- `pnpm verify` selected 2504 of 3294 test files (the change reaches
`owner-proof.ts` importers) and hit my 30 min local limit with no
failure seen. Required CI supplies the broad coverage.
- Live proof: not done (tests only).

## Risks

- Across process spaces, a held lock can now trigger a read of
`controller_instances` for the holder's boot. This happens at most once
per second, and only while a lock is held. Uncontended preparation does
no extra work.
- The prover may fence a boot row whose lease lapsed past its grace, as
it already does for every other recorded owner.
- No persisted shape changes. Older lock files without a `controller`
field stay held, as before.

DottaandClaude a46b9ac724 fix(native): wait out an ACP usage limit's reported reset, then Retry the task (#20692)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs (Paperclip Runner with an ACP harness, such as Claude)
can stop because the provider account runs out of its usage allowance
> - The ACP harness reports this as a "terminal limit failure".
Paperclip blocked the task behind a board hold that called the session
state ambiguous, and the only way forward was a manual Retry
> - The provider also says when the limit resets, for example "resets
Nov 12, 6pm (UTC)" for a weekly limit. Paperclip read only clock-only
resets ("resets 2am"), so the agent-level wait fell back to one hour.
Each later wake for the agent then hit the limit again and blocked
another task
> - This pull request reads calendar resets, says on the hold when the
limit resets, and requests the task's Retry itself at that time when the
reset is reported and bounded
> - The benefit is that a usage limit no longer needs a person to click
Retry, and the agent's other tasks wait instead of failing one by one

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A native ACP run failed with `native_provider_usage_limit` ("ACP agent
reported a terminal limit failure. You've hit your weekly limit · resets
Nov 12, 6pm (UTC)"). The task went to `blocked` with a board-owned hold.
The hold said "Inspect the original provider failure and explicitly
resolve the ambiguous session state". Nothing resumed the task after the
reset. The agent-level `provider_limit_wait` recorded "no reset time was
reported, so Paperclip waits one hour", so every hour another wake
dispatched, hit the limit, and blocked another task. In one 48-hour
window on a staging instance, this blocked 7 tasks for one agent.

**What did you expect?**
When the provider reports a bounded reset, the task waits and continues
after the reset, like the existing `provider_limit_wait` path. When the
reset is unknown, the task fails with a clear message and a working
Retry.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a native ACP agent until its provider reports a weekly or session
limit with a reset time.
2. Look at the task: it is blocked with an "ambiguous session state"
hold.
3. Wait past the reported reset: the task stays blocked until a person
clicks Retry.

Refs #20666 (other recovery work in the same staging census; not changed
here)

## What Changed

- `provider-quota-reset.ts`: parse calendar resets such as "resets Nov
12, 6pm (UTC)", "resets Jul 17th at 4:30 PM (America/Chicago)" and
"Resets on August 2, 9am (UTC)". A past date rolls into next year. An
impossible date (Nov 31) is refused. Clock-only parsing is unchanged.
This also fixes the agent-level `provider_limit_wait` reset and the
legacy `provider_quota` reset for these messages.
- New `native-runtime/provider-limit-resume.ts`:
- `readNativeUsageLimitReset` reads the reset only from the run's own
durable events. The last turn event must be a provider-observed
`turn.failed` with a `rate_limit` or `quota_exhausted` provider failure,
and the reset must be at most eight days out.
- `requestProviderLimitResumeRetry` asks for the task's Retry
(`requestTaskRetry`, `initiatedBy: "provider_limit_reset"`) on behalf of
the user who requested the run, or the run's accountable user for
automatic wakes. It is idempotent per run and records its outcome on the
hold. At most three automatic Retries follow one another without a
successful run.
- `registerProviderLimitResumeWork` is a scoped deadline owner (shared
work scheduler, no polling). Each active usage-limit hold is due at its
reset. Startup rebuilds it from the holds, and the executor notifies it
in the hold's transaction.
- `native-session-executor.ts`: for a terminal usage limit, the hold and
run failure detail say when the limit resets and whether Paperclip
retries then, instead of "ambiguous session state". The evidence records
`providerLimitResetAt`.
- `task-retry.ts`: accept `initiatedBy: "provider_limit_reset"`. Its
activity is recorded as system actor `provider-limit-reset` on behalf of
the user, like `restart_recovery`.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: document the wait and its limits.

Previous-release story: holds saved by the previous release carry
forward. At startup the owner reads each active
`native_provider_usage_limit` hold. It rewrites the hold's message with
the reset when the reset is known and still ahead, and it requests the
Retry at the reset. Holds whose reset is unknown, more than a day in the
past, or that have no accountable user keep their Retry and are recorded
as not requested, so they are not read again.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run server/src/services/provider-quota-reset.test.ts` — 4
tests. Three fail on `origin/master` code (calendar resets return
`null`), all pass with this change.
- `npx vitest run
server/src/services/native-runtime/native-provider-capacity.integration.test.ts`
— 5 tests on embedded Postgres:
- the existing usage-terminal test (both replay modes) still blocks with
a Retry, and no automatic Retry is requested without a reported reset;
- "waits for a reported usage-limit reset and then requests the task's
Retry once": the hold says when the limit resets, an old-release hold is
rewritten, nothing starts before the reset, one Retry receipt is created
for the accountable user at the reset, and a second pass does nothing.
Fails on `origin/master` executor code;
- "starts the Retry from the hold's own deadline": a real delivery
coordinator rebuilds the deadline from the hold and calls Retry dispatch
once, after the reset;
- "leaves a visible Retry when no user is accountable for the run".
Fails on `origin/master` executor code.
- Focused regression suites pass (642 tests): `task-retry`,
`quarantined-task-retry`, `heartbeat-native-restart-suspension`,
`native-startup-retry.integration`, `provider-failure-classification`,
`heartbeat-provider-limit-wait`, `deferred-execution-receipt-work`,
`chat-run-publications`, `native-runner-restart-recovery.integration`,
`native-remote-retry-admission`.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsc --noEmit` passes.
- `pnpm verify` selected a broad run (exit 2, because the docs file is a
global CI input). CI supplies the broad coverage.

## Risks

- The automatic Retry uses the accountable user's authority for
automatic (system) wakes. It is the same Retry the hold already offered
that user, and dispatch still checks Retry authority, stop proof, saved
work and action reconciliation. It is never broader than a click.
- A provider that keeps reporting resets that do not restore capacity
gets at most three automatic Retries in a row; then the Retry stays
visible.
- The deadline owner reads all active usage-limit holds at startup
(limit 500 rows). The number of such holds is small.
- Not changed: the agent-level wait still holds new wakes for at most
one day, as before.

DottaandClaude 8c0dbffa70 fix(heartbeat): retry a legacy run whose lease this process lost before dispatch (#20694)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The heartbeat orphan reaper settles legacy (non-native) runs that
lost their controller lease
> - #16355 taught the reaper to retry a legacy run that a restart
stopped while setup was still `preparing`, because revocation fences the
old controller and `preparing` proves no adapter dispatch
> - That proof was applied only when the lapsed lease belonged to a
different boot
> - A stall can make the current process lose its own lease while setup
is still `preparing`, and its executor can end without settling the row
> - The reaper then wrote "retrying once" but recorded no bootstrap
evidence, so the retry was refused and the task was blocked for
reconciliation
> - This pull request applies the same revocation proof to a lease from
the current boot
> - The benefit is that these tasks recover by themselves instead of
waiting for a person to press Retry

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #16355

**What happened?**

On a hosted instance, one server process stalled for about 100 seconds
(lease renewals were 42–46 s late). Several legacy `paperclip_runner`
runs on a remote sandbox were still in setup (`executionStage:
"preparing"`, no process id). Their controller leases expired. Some
executors settled their own runs as `controller_lease_lost`. Two runs
had no executor left, so the orphan reaper of the same process settled
them 4 minutes later. Each run got `error: "Process lost -- server may
have restarted; retrying once"` and
`processLossDiagnostic.retryEligible: true`, but no `executionRecovery`
evidence. `enqueueProcessLossRetry` then saw a run that needs
reconciliation and scheduled nothing. The next sweep recorded
`legacy_execution_requires_reconciliation` with
`preserve_without_replay_v1`, and both tasks stayed `blocked` until a
person pressed Retry.

**Expected behavior**

Revocation commits the stage. Renewal requires the old boot id, so no
controller can move a revoked run to `dispatching`. A revoked run that
is still `preparing` with no process identity did no provider work,
whichever boot owned the lease. The reaper should record the bootstrap
evidence and use the bounded retry.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Claim a legacy run in this process: `controllerBootId` is the current
boot, `executionStage: "preparing"`, no process id.
2. Let its controller lease expire with no local executor (for example
after an event-loop or database stall).
3. Run the orphan reaper.
4. Before this change: `process_lost; retrying once`, no
`executionRecovery`, no retry, and a reconciliation hold. After this
change: bootstrap evidence and a `scheduled_retry` successor.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/heartbeat/recovery.ts`:
`restartInterruptedBeforeDispatch` no longer requires the lease to come
from another boot. The other clauses stay: legacy runtime, a stamped
controller boot id, and `preparing` with no process id or group in the
state committed by the revocation. Locally tracked runs and runs with a
live lease are still skipped before this point.
- `server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts`: two cases
in the hosted shape (assignment wake and due-monitor wake,
`paperclip_runner`, prepared remote workspace, same-boot expired lease,
`preparing`). They expect bootstrap evidence, a scheduled retry, no
recovery hold after a second sweep, and no adapter call. A control case
keeps a same-boot `dispatching` run held for reconciliation.

## Verification

- Red on `origin/master` (source change reverted): both new cases fail.
The monitor case shows the exact hosted shape: `retryEligible: true`
with no `executionRecovery`.
- Green with the change: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest
run src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts -t "lease this
process lost|this process dispatched held|restart stopped before adapter
dispatch|reached adapter dispatch held|lost monitor|older build without
a controller stamp|failure budget"` (10 passed).
- Related files, run together: `heartbeat-process-recovery`,
`live-recovery-work`, `interrupted-preparation-hold-settle`,
`resource-wait-stop`, `legacy-controller-lease`,
`execution-recovery-dead-controller`, `legacy-process-settlement`,
`run-failure-report` (876 passed; 2 timing failures under load in
unrelated setup-failure tests, both pass when run alone).
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsc --noEmit` passes.

## Risks

- Low risk. The proof is the one #16355 already relies on across boots:
the revocation compare-and-set replaces the boot id, so the in-memory
controller of this process also fails its next renewal and cannot
dispatch.
- A same-boot run reaches this code only when it is not in
`activeRunExecutions` or `runningProcesses` and its lease expired. If an
executor is stalled before it registers, it aborts at its first renewal.
Setup work can run again in the retry; provider work cannot.
- Upgrade safety: no persisted shape changes. The reaper reads the same
fields (`executionStage`, `controllerBootId`, process ids) that older
releases write. Runs that older code already parked keep their hold and
their working Retry.
- Runs that reached `dispatching`, recorded a process, or have no
controller stamp keep the current behavior.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 a8f21a171c fix(cases): hold direct case status writes to terminal handoff authority (#20686)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The experimental Cases feature closes a case through a terminal
handoff to `done`
> - The terminal handoff lets an agent close a case only when the agent
owns the case's primary task
> - The direct case write routes (`PATCH /api/cases/:id` and the keyed
upsert on `POST /api/companies/:companyId/cases`) also write `status`
and `completedAt`
> - These routes did not apply the primary-task ownership rule to agent
status writes
> - This pull request applies the same ownership rule to those routes,
and sends `done` through the terminal handoff
> - The benefit is that a case closes only through the authority and
gates that the product describes

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists. This is the bug description.

**What happened**

An agent that did not own a case's primary task tried `handoff_case` to
`done` and got "Agents may complete only their own case work". The same
agent then sent `PATCH /api/cases/:id` with `status: "done"`. The route
returned 200 and closed the case. A chat eval (`cases.close-case`)
recorded this sequence.

**Expected behavior**

An agent changes a case with a primary task to or from
`done`/`cancelled` only with the authority that the terminal handoff
requires. `done` goes through the terminal handoff, so primary-task
completion keeps its normal gates (`doc/PRODUCT.md`, Cases section). The
dedicated `update_case` tool already excludes `status`.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a case with a primary task that is assigned to agent A.
2. As agent B in the same company, send `PATCH /api/cases/:id` with
`{"status":"done"}`.
3. Before this change, the response is 200 and the case status is
`done`.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/case-handoffs.ts`: add
`assertCaseStatusWriteAuthority`. For an agent actor, on a case that has
a primary task, a status change into or out of `done`/`cancelled` must
pass the same check as the terminal handoff (`authorizeTerminalTask`:
the agent is the primary task's assignee). A change to `done` then
returns 422 and names the terminal handoff. Board actors, non-terminal
status changes and fact edits do not change.
- `server/src/routes/cases.ts`: call the check inside the case write
transaction in `PATCH /api/cases/:id` and in the keyed upsert branch of
`POST /api/companies/:companyId/cases`.
- The terminal ownership denial now names the owning agent and the
primary task, and asks the caller to contact that agent on the task. The
message keeps its old first sentence.
- The keyed upsert falls back to the locked case row (not the pre-lock
read), so an upsert without `status` cannot undo a concurrent close.
- `server/src/routes/experimental-api-paths.ts`: add a catalog summary
and description for `PATCH /api/cases/{id}` that states the closure
rule.
- `server/src/__tests__/cases-routes.test.ts`: regression test for
non-owner `done`/`cancelled` through PATCH and upsert, the owner's
`done` through PATCH (422), owner cancel, non-owner reopen, and board
close.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run src/__tests__/cases-routes.test.ts -t
"terminal handoff's primary-task"`: fails before the route change
(`expected 403, got 200`) and passes after it.
- `cd server && npx vitest run src/__tests__/cases-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/case-mutation-fence.integration.test.ts
src/__tests__/case-handoff-native.integration.test.ts
src/__tests__/case-handoff-legacy.integration.test.ts
src/services/case-handoffs.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-case-tools.integration.test.ts
src/__tests__/heartbeat-case-terminal-handoff.test.ts
src/__tests__/openapi-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/case-history-api-discovery.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/runner-api.test.ts`: all pass. (One local
run of the legacy integration suite failed in fixture scratch
preparation under load; two reruns with the change pass.)
- `server` `tsc --noEmit`: no errors in the changed files. The fresh
worktree had unrelated errors from unbuilt workspace packages; CI covers
the full typecheck.
- Live chat eval
(`chat-features.runner-opencode.local.cases.close-case`, run
42936492869, at the first commit): the non-owner agent's terminal
handoff was denied with the owner named, and the agent did not change
case status through another route. The eval did not pass: the first chat
turn did not finish inside the scenario's 180-second observation window.
That is a separate latency issue in the eval.

## Risks

- Behavior change for agents: an agent can no longer set `done` through
PATCH on a case with a primary task, and a non-owner agent can no longer
cancel or reopen it. The agent skill reference already says "Do not
change case status separately".
- Cases without a primary task keep the old behavior, because they have
no owner to check and the terminal handoff does not apply to them.
- The check reads the primary task without a row lock, to keep the task
-> run -> case lock order. A concurrent reassignment can race one
request. The terminal handoff itself still locks and rechecks.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 e9db5e0d03 perf(github): read the inherited review waits of an issue list in one pass (#20673)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - An agent can review a GitHub pull request. After the agent publishes
the review, the task can wait in review for the next GitHub reply. A
later run of the same task can inherit this wait.
> - Issue lists and inbox attention show these waits. For each waiting
task, the server reads the inherited GitHub review wait: the source
comment, the latest review, and the review publication.
> - The server did these reads one time for each waiting task. A list
request with N waiting tasks sent N copies of the prepared review
statement and N copies of the publication read.
> - On a hosted database, the prepared review statement ran about
270,000 times in about 2.5 hours (up to 87 calls per second). The run
identity read before it ran the same number of times. The list read that
calls it ran only about 1,400 times, so each list read started about 190
review reads on average. No other caller reads the waits of many runs in
a loop.
> - This pull request reads the reviews and the publications of all
waits of one list request with one statement each. Each wait gets the
same result as before.
> - The benefit is about 200 times fewer review statements and fewer
pool connections for each issue list.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20400 (shares review-wait reads between the callers of one
request).
Refs #20551 (authorizes the waits of one issue page with one read; this
change does the same for the inherited GitHub review reads of that
page).

**What happened**

`listExternalReviewWaits` called `readInheritedGitHubReviewWait` one
time for each candidate wait, inside `Promise.all`. Each call sent a run
identity read, a source-message read, the prepared
`inherited_github_review_wait` statement, and a publication read. A list
with N waits sent each statement N times.

**Expected behavior**

One list request sends one review statement and one publication read for
each company. The result of each wait does not change.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Put many tasks of one company in review with an inherited GitHub
review wait.
2. Open the issue list or the inbox.
3. Count the statements of the database. The review statement runs one
time for each waiting task.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/chat-channels/github/review-wait.ts`:
- Split `readInheritedGitHubReviewWait` into shared steps: the source
comment read, the review checks, the publication key, and the published
result. The single-run read uses the same prepared statement and the
same checks as before.
- Add `readInheritedGitHubReviewWaits(db, runs)`. It reads the source
comment of each run with the same lineage check as before. Then, for
each company, one `DISTINCT ON` statement reads the latest review for
each (source comment, task, agent) key, with the same joins, filters and
order as the prepared statement. One read finds the processed
publications. Each run gets the same result as a separate call: `null`,
`revoked`, or `published`.
- `server/src/services/native-runtime/external-review-wait.ts`:
`listExternalReviewWaits` uses the batch read. The rest of the list and
its authorization do not change.
- `server/src/__tests__/github-review-wait.test.ts`: a new test reads 18
runs in one batch and compares each result with a separate single-run
read. The runs include each revocation case (connection disabled or
inactive, review state, review agent, repository, repository id, thread,
publication, identity, company), a newer unreviewed head, no identity,
no task, an endpoint of another agent, a run in another company and a
duplicate run. The test also makes sure that the batch sends one review
statement and one publication read for each company. The existing
revocation tests also check the batch read.
- `server/src/__tests__/helpers/github-review-wait.ts`: the seed helper
can add a wait to an existing company and agent.

## Verification

- `pnpm vitest run server/src/__tests__/github-review-wait.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/github-review-check-state.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-list-review-wait-authorization.integration.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/blocked-inbox-review-wait-scope.test.ts`
- Focused local run of every test that imports the changed modules or
the seed helper (7 files, 335 tests passed), including
`external-chat-wait.integration.test.ts`, `external-review-wait.test.ts`
and `legacy-execution-recovery.test.ts`. The change to the shared seed
helper makes `pnpm verify` select the full server suite, so CI supplies
that coverage.
- Local measurement on real PostgreSQL (embedded PostgreSQL, `ANALYZE`
after seeding). One company and agent, each wait has 5 reviews and 10
outbound messages. "Before" is the previous list code: one
`readInheritedGitHubReviewWait` call for each run in `Promise.all`.
"After" is `readInheritedGitHubReviewWaits`. The runs alternate order in
each pair. Both return equal results in every sample.

| Waits | Version | Statements | Review statements | Median ms | Min–max
ms | Samples |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 200 | before | 800 | 200 | 106.8 | 98.0–117.5 | 10 |
| 200 | after | 402 | 1 | 44.3 | 41.6–50.9 | 10 |
| 20 | before | 80 | 20 | 9.8 | 8.6–14.7 | 12 |
| 20 | after | 42 | 1 | 6.3 | 5.3–7.0 | 12 |

- `EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, BUFFERS)` of the batch review statement for 200
waits: index scans on each join, 6.7 ms execution. The single statement:
0.05 ms execution and about 2.7 ms planning for each call.
- The run identity read and the source-message read still run one time
for each wait. They are cheap on the hosted database (about 0 ms each),
and they keep the lineage check for each run.

## Risks

- Low risk. The batch statement uses the same joins, filters and order
as the prepared statement, and `DISTINCT ON` keeps the first row for
each key. The array filters can also match a mix of two keys. The code
uses only rows of exact requested keys.
- The single-run read and its prepared statement do not change. The
finalizer, the status committer, and the attachment reuse paths still
use it.
- Errors do not change: a 403 from the lineage check gives `revoked`,
and other errors are thrown.
- No migration.

## Model Used

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 c444da7d05 perf(run-events): stop blocking checkpoint FK checks during event appends (#20670)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A native run sends a stream of runner events. The server appends
each event to the run log. The runner controller then saves a checkpoint
for recovery.
> - Each checkpoint save inserts the new `event:N` row and updates the
`cursor` row in `native_runner_checkpoints`. The new row has a foreign
key to the run row in `heartbeat_runs`.
> - The event append locks the same run row `FOR UPDATE`. That lock
blocks the `FOR KEY SHARE` lock that the foreign key check takes. So
each checkpoint save waits for the event append that is in progress.
> - On a hosted database, the two-row checkpoint upsert had the largest
total SQL time. The one-row (cursor-only) upsert, which has no foreign
key check, was much cheaper.
> - This pull request changes the append lock to `FOR NO KEY UPDATE`.
Appenders still serialize. Child foreign key checks no longer wait.
> - The benefit is shorter checkpoint saves, shorter waits before each
runner ACK, and less lock wait on the database.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The controller checkpoint save for native runs
(`nativeRunnerCheckpointWriter`), and the native run-event append
(`appendHeartbeatRunEvent`).

**Subsystem affected**
Server run-event log and native runtime checkpoint persistence.

**Current behavior**
On one hosted database, Neon query performance showed this statement as
the largest total: `insert into native_runner_checkpoints ... values
(...), (...) on conflict (run_id, part) do update`. It ran 6,582 times
at 62.6 ms (412 s) in the first 38 minutes after a compute restart, and
9,435 times at 31.8 ms (300 s) about two hours later. An earlier day
showed 100,650 calls at 102 ms. The one-row form of the same upsert ran
965 times at 13.4 ms.
The runner already writes only changed records (`captureCheckpoint`
compares plaintext), so unchanged material is not rewritten. The two-row
form is a new event row plus the cursor. Only the new row fires the
foreign key check. `appendHeartbeatRunEvent` locks the run row `FOR
UPDATE` for each native event, in a transaction with several statements.
`FOR UPDATE` conflicts with `FOR KEY SHARE`, so the check waits for that
transaction.

**Proposed behavior**
`appendHeartbeatRunEvent` locks the run row `FOR NO KEY UPDATE`. This
mode still conflicts with other appenders, `FOR SHARE`, `FOR UPDATE`,
deletes and updates. It does not conflict with `FOR KEY SHARE`. The
append never changes key columns: `runUpdate` is limited to process
fields, and the native and retry-exhaustion paths reject it. The fast
path already uses a plain `UPDATE`, which takes the same lock mode. The
execution-admission adapter already locks this row `FOR NO KEY UPDATE`.

**Reason and benefit**
The wait goes in both directions. A checkpoint save waits for an append.
An append also waits for an open checkpoint transaction that holds `FOR
KEY SHARE`. Both waits stop. The controller sends each ACK only after
its checkpoint commits, so shorter saves also shorten the event loop.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/heartbeat-run-events.ts`: lock the run row `FOR
NO KEY UPDATE` instead of `FOR UPDATE` in the transactional append path.
Add a comment that names the contract.
- `heartbeat-run-event-atomic-append.test.ts`: add a regression test. An
append transaction stays open. A checkpoint row insert for the same run
must finish under a 2 s `lock_timeout`. A second appender must still
wait. After release, the sequence is 1, 2 with no gap and no duplicate.
The existing test with 40 concurrent appenders on two connections still
proves contiguous sequence numbers. Update the existing lock-statement
assertion to the new clause.
- Add `scripts/benchmark-run-event-checkpoint-lock.ts`. It replays a
native event stream with the real append and the real checkpoint writer
on separate connections. It times each checkpoint save for a baseline
append module and the current one.

## Verification

- Red: with the old `FOR UPDATE` clause, the new test fails with
`canceling statement due to lock timeout`. With the change it passes.
- `npx vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-run-event-atomic-append.test.ts
src/__tests__/heartbeat-run-event-sequencing.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-checkpoint-authority.integration.test.ts
src/__tests__/native-recovery-notice-work.test.ts` (server): 4 files, 42
tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`: passed.
- `pnpm verify` exits 2, because a new script under `scripts/` is a
global CI input. Required CI supplies the broad coverage.

Local benchmark. Embedded PostgreSQL 18.1 on a laptop. 400 events per
pass, 2 KiB event payload, 6 KiB header, real encryption. Order:
warm-up, baseline, current, baseline, current. `HOLD_MS` keeps each
append transaction open longer. It stands in for hosted round trips.

| 0 ms | Baseline (3) | 1.49 ms | 2.02 ms | 6.45 ms | 41 / 400 | 667 ms
|

- Event order: the controller frame chain awaits each event's append and
its local commit, but not its checkpoint save. The ACK goes through
`#sendJson`, which queues the save and does not block the next frame.
Only semantic inputs and command results await the save. So the save for
event N overlaps the append of event N+1. Streaming events
(`item.delta`) also go through the same locked append, with no
checkpoint save, so a save can also overlap them. The benchmark uses
this order.
- Control without overlap (`SERIAL=1`, each save finishes before the
next append, 5 ms hold): baseline median 1.15 / 1.07 ms, current 1.03 /
1.00 ms. There is no material difference. The gain comes only from the
removed lock wait.
- Results are the same in every pass. The script asserts that all event
rows, the header and the cursor are stored, and that the run-log
sequence is contiguous.
- Command: see the script header. It needs a baseline copy of
`heartbeat-run-events.ts` from the base revision.

## Risks

- Low risk. The SQL change is one lock clause. Appenders still serialize
with each other, with `FOR UPDATE` and `FOR SHARE` lockers, and with
updates and deletes of the run row. Run deletion and key changes take
`FOR UPDATE`, so they still wait for an append, and an append still
waits for them.
- The only new concurrency is with `FOR KEY SHARE` lockers. In this code
base those are foreign key checks of child inserts. The one explicit
`FOR KEY SHARE` read is on `issues`, not on `heartbeat_runs`. A foreign
key check only needs the run row and its key to exist. The append does
not delete the row or change its key.
- The hosted cause is inferred. Neon shows calls and mean time only. We
did not read lock waits on the hosted database. The local proof shows
the mechanism and the size of the effect. A new query-performance window
after deployment must confirm the result.
- Persisted run state: no saved run, session, event or checkpoint shape
changes. State saved by the previous release carries forward unchanged.
The lock mode applies only inside one transaction, so a deploy during a
run needs no special case.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 81c52e3666 perf(chat): find terminal GitHub responses by issue run indexes (#20671)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The GitHub chat channel posts a terminal response when an agent run
for a GitHub request stops. A background sweep finds acknowledged
response comments (`processed`, not final) whose issue is blocked or
whose latest run is terminal
> - For each candidate, the sweep reads the status of the latest run of
the assigned agent for the issue. It matches runs with
`coalesce(native_issue_id::text, context_snapshot->>'issueId')`
> - No index has that expression. So PostgreSQL reads every run of the
agent for each candidate, and it decompresses the large legacy
`context_snapshot` of each run
> - On a hosted test database, this statement ran 13 times at a mean of
11 s in a 38-minute window (149 s in total), with single runs of 16 s
and 41 s
> - This pull request splits the run match into its two disjoint
branches. Each branch uses an existing issue index
> - The benefit is that each candidate reads a few index entries instead
of the agent's full run history. The returned rows do not change, and no
migration is necessary

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The discovery page query in `registerGitHubTerminalResponseWork` in
`server/src/services/chat-channels/github/terminal-response-work.ts`.
The query runs when the sweep reconstructs its candidates, and once or
twice for each candidate check.

**Subsystem affected**
GitHub chat channel terminal-response recovery.

**Current behavior**
The `WHERE` clause has `issues.status = 'blocked' or (select r.status
from heartbeat_runs r where r.company_id = ... and r.agent_id = ... and
coalesce(r.native_issue_id::text, r.context_snapshot->>'issueId') =
<issue id> order by r.created_at desc, r.id desc limit 1) in (<terminal
statuses>)`. The planner can only use
`heartbeat_runs_company_agent_started_idx`. It reads all runs of the
agent, then evaluates the `coalesce` on each row. That decompresses the
context of each legacy run. The cost is the number of candidates times
the number of agent runs.

**Proposed behavior**
The subquery takes the latest run from two branches and then the latest
of the two:

- runs with `native_issue_id = <issue id>`, through
`heartbeat_runs_company_native_issue_contract_id_uq`
- runs with `native_issue_id is null and context_snapshot->>'issueId' =
<issue id>`, through `heartbeat_runs_company_ctx_issue_created_idx`

The two branches are disjoint, and together they are exactly the rows
where the `coalesce` is equal to the issue ID. Both branches and the
outer query use the same order (`created_at desc, id desc`). So the
selected run is the same, including ties.

**Reason and benefit**
This statement was the largest single-statement cost in the hosted
window after the earlier database fixes. A local reproduction is about
490x faster on the default fixture, and the gain grows with the agent's
run history.

**Breaking changes**
None. The API, the candidate rules and the results do not change.

## What Changed

- Rewrite the latest-run status subquery in the GitHub terminal-response
discovery page as two index-backed branches (native binding, and legacy
context without a native binding).
- Add two integration tests for the sweep. In the first, newer runs of
the same agent that do not bind the issue (one with a native binding to
another issue, but a legacy context that names this issue) must not hide
the stopped run. In the second, a newer active run with a native binding
to the issue keeps the request waiting.
- Add `scripts/benchmark-github-terminal-response-sweep.ts`. It captures
the SQL that the real worker generates at a baseline commit and at
`HEAD`, compares all rows, and measures both.

## Verification

Cause and thesis. The cost comes from the `coalesce` run match, which
has no index and makes each candidate scan the agent's run history.
Thesis: if each precedence branch uses its own issue index, the cost of
the page no longer depends on the agent's run count, and the rows stay
identical. The benchmark confirms the thesis.

Local SQL benchmark:

```sh
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsx ../scripts/benchmark-github-terminal-response-sweep.ts --baseline-ref=7b33384446
```

Fixture (synthetic): two companies, each with one GitHub endpoint and
one assigned agent. Each issue has one GitHub response comment. The
first N comments are acknowledged and not final; the others are final.
Every tenth issue is blocked. Runs alternate between native binding and
legacy context, and each run has a 4 KiB incompressible context. The
fixture also has these edge cases: newer active runs with a native
binding to another issue but a legacy context that names this issue,
active runs that tie on `created_at` with the latest run (between native
and legacy runs), and newer active runs of another agent. The benchmark
compares every column of every candidate row (the page limit is lifted
for this check). Embedded PostgreSQL 18.1 on an Apple laptop. The hosted
database is Neon with different compute, so absolute times are local SQL
measurements only. Each size has 2 warmups and then alternates the
baseline and the treatment.

| Size | Runs (both companies) | Candidate rows equal | Baseline median
(range) | Treatment median (range) | Speedup |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Small: 200 issues, 3 runs each, 20 candidates, 7 samples | 1,372 | 26
of 26 | 18.7 ms (17.7–20.8) | 3.8 ms (3.3–4.3) | 4.9x |
| Default: 1,500 issues, 8 runs each, 150 candidates, 7 samples | 25,300
(156 MB) | 200 of 200 | 3,697 ms (2,875–4,032) | 7.6 ms (6.6–9.6) | 490x
|
| Large: 3,000 issues, 10 runs each, 400 candidates, 5 samples | 62,600
(382 MB) | 538 of 538 | 57,055 ms (48,343–66,079) | 31 ms (16–79) |
1,800x |

Sizes are set with `BENCH_ISSUES`, `BENCH_RUNS_PER_ISSUE`,
`BENCH_CANDIDATES` and `BENCH_ITERATIONS`. The timed query is the real
first page (limit 100).

Plan (default size): the baseline runs `SubPlan` 270 times. Each run is
a `Bitmap Heap Scan` on `heartbeat_runs_company_agent_started_idx` that
removes about 12,000 rows by filter, for about 8.2 million buffer reads
in total. The treatment runs an `Append` of two `Limit` index scans
(`heartbeat_runs_company_native_issue_contract_id_uq` and
`heartbeat_runs_company_ctx_issue_created_idx`), for about 3,800 buffer
reads in total.

Tests:

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/chat-channels.integration.test.ts -t "terminal GitHub"`:
13 passed, including the 2 new tests.
- Mutation check: when the legacy branch does not exclude runs with a
native binding, the first new test fails. It passes with the fix.
- `cd server && npx tsc --noEmit`: passed.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change is one SQL subquery. The match is the same set of
runs: `native_issue_id::text = <uuid text>` is equal to `native_issue_id
= <uuid>`, and a null `native_issue_id` makes the `coalesce` use the
legacy context.
- The candidate set itself is not bounded by this change. Acknowledged
responses that never become final stay in the candidate set. Each
candidate is now cheap, but the count still grows with that history.
- `readGitHubResponseRun` in `response-run-state.ts` uses the same
`coalesce` match. The sweep calls it once for each candidate row, and
other GitHub paths also call it. Each call is a separate, smaller
statement. This pull request does not change it.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 48c6e996da fix(native): continue a task whose quarantined completed turn's holds settle (#20662)
<!-- Write all pull request text in Simplified Technical English
(ASD-STE100): short sentences, one instruction per sentence, simple
approved vocabulary, and the active voice. -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Before a remote run starts, workspace preparation attaches the
verified saved work of earlier runs of the same task.
> - Preparation failed with `remote_workspace_recovery_receipt_invalid`
when any earlier run had a recovery receipt that it could not verify.
> - A refusal cannot change the saved state, so every Retry failed in
the same way, and the task stayed blocked. Recoveries must fall back
automatically.
> - This pull request skips an unverifiable source. It attaches nothing
unverified and starts from the workspace's newest verified save.
> - The benefit is that Retry and continuations start again, while
strict receipt checks still decide what is attached, and no saved work
is changed.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20631

**What happened?**
On staging, after the deploy that included #20631, a user pressed Retry
on a task whose previous run failed with
`native_controller_recovery_missing_evidence:runner_not_settled`. The
new run failed in setup in under a minute with `setup_failed` /
`remote_workspace_recovery_receipt_invalid` (`executionRecovery:
bootstrap`, `providerWorkStarted: false`). The task stayed blocked.
Another Retry would fail the same way. #20631 accepted one shape of this
refusal (a source that saved only the snapshot its own restore loaded).
This task had a different shape.

**Expected behavior**
A Retry starts. A source whose receipt cannot be verified is not
attached, and its saved state stays intact for workspace recovery.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Let a remote native run fail before provider work and leave a
recovery receipt or restore hold that does not verify (for example a
receipt on an unsaved reference, a receipt from another epoch, or a
saved reference without a receipt).
2. Press Retry on the task.
3. See the new run fail in setup with
`remote_workspace_recovery_receipt_invalid`.

**Paperclip version or commit**
Staging deploy that includes `e3bc4ca798`. The gap remains on `master`
at `a3b34a9d88`.

## What Changed

- `attachPreservedRemoteWorkspaceSnapshots` no longer throws for an
unverifiable source. Each of the five refusal shapes now skips the
source and logs `remote_workspace_recovery_receipt_invalid` with a
reason: `receipt_without_reference`, `reference_unreadable`,
`receipt_on_unsaved_reference`, `receipt_unverified`, and
`receipt_snapshot_missing` (was
`remote_workspace_recovery_snapshot_missing`).
- `retainRemoteRecoveryAttachments` no longer throws for a retained
recovered copy that it cannot verify. It does not publish that copy
again. The files stay in the workspace.
- The writer check (`remote_workspace_recovery_writer_changed`), the
workspace access check, and snapshot read and digest failures still
refuse.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md` describes the fallback rule.

## Verification

- Red on unfixed code:
`remote-workspace-recovery-receipt-fallback.test.ts` (moved out of
`workspace-recovery-preparation.test.ts` to keep that file under 1,000
lines) "starts a Retry from the newest verified save when a predecessor
has %s" (6 shapes: `receipt_without_reference`,
`unreadable_reference_with_hold`, `receipt_on_prepared_reference`,
`superseded_snapshot_with_hold`, `receipt_from_other_epoch`,
`receipt_for_other_run`). All 6 failed with
`remote_workspace_recovery_receipt_invalid`. The source is a native run
that failed with `runner_not_settled`, and the writer is a Retry
(`retryOfRunId`, `taskRetryRequestId`) that follows the real ancestry
query.
- Green: the same 6 tests pass. They also assert that nothing is
attached, and that the source run row, its workspace operations, and its
snapshot row are unchanged.
- Updated safety tests: the canonical-attachment fault matrix now
expects no attachment for receipt faults, and still expects a refusal
for a missing or corrupt archive and for a wrong company or task. The
retained-history test expects an unverifiable retained copy to be left
out of the published list, while verified copies stay published.
- `npx vitest run
src/services/remote-workspace-recovery-receipt-fallback.test.ts
src/services/workspace-recovery-preparation.test.ts`: 91 passed.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json` passes.
- `pnpm verify` returns exit 2, because a global doc input changed
(`doc/execution-semantics.md`). Required CI supplies the broad coverage.
- Not verified live on Daytona. I could not read the staging rows for
this task: the browser had no free tab. The tests cover every refusal
shape of this function, so the exact staging shape is one of them.

## Risks

- Previous-release state: the rule reads the same rows as before (run
reference, result hold, workspace operations, recovery actions,
snapshots). Rows that earlier releases saved carry forward. No
migration. A blocked task recovers on its next Retry or wake.
- A Retry can now start without files from an unverifiable source. Those
files are not lost: the source's snapshot, restore hold, receipts and
recovery action stay unchanged, and workspace recovery still owns them.
The skip is logged with a named reason.
- A retained copy that fails verification is dropped from the published
list. Its directory stays in the workspace and is no longer retired
automatically.
- A missing or corrupt snapshot archive still refuses. A permanently
lost archive therefore still blocks attach. This PR does not change
that.

DottaandClaude 9296c74e8d fix(native): let a restart claim take back its lapsed lease at budget admission (#20650)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - After a control-plane restart, restart recovery claims an
interrupted native run (`resume_dead_runner`) and grants a 20-minute
lease. Budget admission then re-checks that the claim still owns the run
before the resumed run may start provider work.
> - A host sleep, or the restart-chaos fault TM2, can make that stored
lease look expired while its owner is alive. #20625 lets the owner take
back such a lease when the row still shows exactly its own claim. That
rule did not cover budget admission.
> - So a claim whose lease lapsed before dispatch was refused with
`Native recovery no longer owns provider dispatch`. The run failed with
`adapter_failed`, recovery held it with
`native_continuation_requires_reconciliation`, and the user had to click
Retry.
> - This pull request applies the #20625 rule in budget admission: the
claim takes its lease back through the existing re-acquire condition.
> - The benefit is that a run resumed after a restart survives a time
jump before dispatch with no Retry. Every fence and every budget check
stays the same.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20625, #20474

**What happened?**
Restart-chaos wave L7 (seed 9107, local) on a branch with #20625, task
codex B5 TM2. A TM3 restart claimed the run (`resume_dead_runner`,
generation 2). TM2 then aged every database time by one hour before the
resume reached dispatch. Budget admission
(`lockRunBudgetRecoveryOwnerInTransaction`) required a live lease and
threw `Native recovery no longer owns provider dispatch`. The run failed
with `adapter_failed`, recovery stopped with
`native_continuation_requires_reconciliation` /
`preserve_without_replay_v1`, and the task needed Retry.

**Expected behavior**
The claim's own lapsed lease is taken back, and the resume is admitted
when the budget allows it.

**Steps to reproduce**
`node cli/node_modules/tsx/dist/cli.mjs tests/restart-chaos/main.ts
--env local --adapters codex,claude --workloads A1,B5,C1 --faults
TM1,TM2,TM3 --time-age-hours 1 --concurrency 3 --tasks 6 --seed 9107`
(timing-dependent).

## What Changed

- `native-execution-lease.ts`: two new helpers. Both use the #20625
own-claim rule. Neither takes a lock out of order.
- `readOwnNativeRecoveryClaimLease` (read-only) returns `live`,
`lapsed_own_claim` or `lost`. It compares the lease against the database
clock. A lapsed lease counts as `lapsed_own_claim` only when all of
these hold:
    - the same lease owner;
    - this process's controller boot, pid and process start;
    - a non-null `recovery_state`;
- `nativeExecutionLeaseHeldCondition({ remote: false,
controllerGeneration })`, which applies the #20625 own-claim rule and
every #20474 untouched check;
    - no non-local environment lease on the run.
- `extendOwnNativeRecoveryClaimInTransaction` extends such a lease by
the local execution TTL, with one conditional UPDATE on the same
predicate.
- `budget-reservations.ts`:
- `lockRunBudgetRecoveryOwnerInTransaction` still refuses another owner,
and refuses a lapsed lease unless it is the run's own untouched claim.
It no longer locks the run row, so the documented coordinator → issue →
run order holds.
- The lease is extended only at the end of an admitted reservation
(`reserveRunBudget`) or an admitted dispatch recheck
(`recheckRunBudgetReservationInTransaction`). At those points the caller
already holds the run row lock. A refused admission, for example one
over budget, leaves the lease lapsed.
- `heartbeat-native-restart-suspension.test.ts`: the test "still settles
a recovery whose claim merely expired" encoded "expired means not the
owner". #20474 and #20625 changed that rule for an untouched own claim.
The test now has two cases:
- an expired claim that another actor recorded on (`awaiting_evidence`)
still settles with no provider session;
  - an untouched expired claim is dispatched.
- `doc/plans/2026-11-09-explicit-native-lease-claim-tokens.md`: Step 1
lists the new user of the rule.

## Verification

- New
`server/src/__tests__/native-recovery-dispatch-lease-reacquire.test.ts`:
- `reserveRunBudget` takes back the claim's own lapsed lease and admits
the resume. This fails before the change.
  - An over-budget resume is still refused, and its lease stays lapsed.
- Fenced variants each throw `Native recovery no longer owns provider
dispatch` and leave the row unchanged: a graceful-shutdown suspension,
an appended failure settlement, `awaiting_evidence`, `blocked`, a claim
from an earlier generation, another boot, a remote sandbox lease, and
another lease owner.
- At the dispatch gate (`recheckRunBudgetReservationInTransaction`), an
admitted own claim gets its lease extended, and a fenced claim is
refused with the row unchanged.
- Related suites pass (308 tests):
`native-execution-lease-reacquire.test.ts`,
`closed-native-receipt-accounting.test.ts`,
`heartbeat-native-predispatch-retry.test.ts`,
`run-dispatch/adapters/postgres.test.ts`,
`heartbeat-native-restart-suspension.test.ts` and
`heartbeat-restart-claim-lapse.test.ts`.
- `cd server && npx tsc --noEmit` passes.
- Live: one L7 wave (seed 9107) ran on the first commit of this branch
(`w-20261110T212307-s9107`). It logged 0 `Native recovery no longer owns
provider dispatch` refusals, against 1 in the previous wave. Codex B5
TM2 got past dispatch, but it still needed Retry for another reason:
after a `runner.drain` timeout, the scheduled same-run resume did not
send the continuation of #20645. That case is tracked separately. The
other five tasks passed.

## Risks

- This widens when a restart claim can take back its own lapsed lease,
and only at budget admission. It is local only. It needs the same owner,
boot and generation, and the row must show exactly that claim. A claim
that any other actor touched still fails as before.
- Budget hard-stop behaviour is unchanged. The lease is extended only
after budget admission passes.
- No schema change and no migration. Rows saved by earlier releases
carry the same history shape.

tool use (shell, file edits, test runs). Extended reasoning.

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent work and preserves its execution state.
> - A server replacement must retain every workspace that depends on the
old server disk.
> - Runner task environments can own their workspace outside the Core
server.
> - These environments save an adapter-managed workspace with a
runnerTaskWorkspaceOwner binding.
> - Readiness and maintenance treated that provider path as a Core
filesystem dependency.
> - This change validates the saved owner and shares that classification
between both paths.
> - Local, malformed, and foreign workspace bindings still block
enrollment.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related enrollment safeguards: #18835. A GitHub search found no
duplicate fix for this provider-owned class.

**What happened?**

Volume-free readiness returned workspaces_require_migration for an
adapter-managed Runner workspace owned by a plugin task environment.
Maintenance also selected it and failed with
workspace_provider_unsupported. The provider owned the path, which did
not exist on the Core server.

**Expected behavior**

A valid provider-owned workspace does not require migration from the
Core server disk. Ordinary local workspaces and invalid ownership
bindings remain blockers.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run a paperclip_runner agent in a plugin task environment.
2. Retain its adapter-managed workspace and complete
runnerTaskWorkspaceOwner binding.
3. Read startup eligibility for volume-free enrollment.
4. Observe the workspace blocker before this fix.
5. Run workspace maintenance and observe workspace_provider_unsupported
for the same row.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on 353945c86d. The regression
also fails on the branch base a3b34a9d88.

**Deployment mode**

Docker with external PostgreSQL. Local regression coverage uses
disposable PostgreSQL.

## What Changed

- Share one metadata predicate between startup eligibility and offline
workspace migration selection.
- Validate a complete saved owner against a same-company
paperclip_runner agent and a plugin environment with matching nonempty
keys. Per-run environment overrides remain supported.
- Keep ordinary local workspaces and invalid ownership bindings in the
migration set.
- Add real PostgreSQL coverage for provider-owned readiness, zero-import
maintenance selection, unchanged retained rows, and
local/foreign/malformed ownership controls.

## Verification

- Readiness RED: the provider-owned fixture failed with
workspaces_require_migration on unchanged source.
- Maintenance RED: the provider-owned fixture failed with
workspace_provider_unsupported before the shared selector was applied.
- GREEN: 29 selected tests passed across three files. This covers 8
eligibility/configuration tests and 21 migration/offline-admission
cases, including eleven invalid/local owner controls inside the
eligibility test. The affected migration file has 207 cases; broad
coverage remains with required CI.
- Commands: `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/ephemeral-server-data.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/ephemeral-server-contract.test.ts` plus focused
selections in `server/src/services/remote-workspace-migration.test.ts`
for provider ownership, offline admission, local imports,
interrupted-batch resume, and unresolved workspace semantics.
- Server layered typecheck passed after the final source change.
- Final head `2fb98dbc664da14e6f60d812e1e10877b2b7f00a`: [required
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42920262773)
completed with 55 successful checks, 1 neutral review, and 4 intended
skips. Greptile and Paperclip Review both rated this head 5/5. No
unresolved review threads remain.
- No hosted data migration or metadata rewrite was performed.

## Risks

- This changes a readiness classification. Incomplete, foreign,
non-Runner, or mismatched environment bindings remain conservative
blockers.
- The check validates saved ownership through current database bindings.
It does not inspect provider files or grant execution authority.
- Existing saved rows retain their shape. No migration or archive format
changes are required.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, repository tools, code
editing, and real PostgreSQL tests. The host does not expose the exact
model ID or context window size.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip e9343d8501 fix(heartbeat): release task Retries held by a drain as soon as it ends (#20640)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - When a person clicks Retry on a stopped task, Paperclip saves the
request as a held wake and dispatches it right away, unless admission is
held. Admission is held during a task drain, for example while a
deployment restarts the server
> - A Retry held by a drain is released later by the deferred-receipt
worker. That worker shares one queue with every other held wake: comment
waits, execution waits, and interrupted queues
> - On a busy instance that queue holds hundreds of passive waits that
come due every 30 seconds. A Retry is checked in due-time order behind
all of them. Ending a drain does not wake the worker either
> - In a real case, a Retry clicked during a deployment drain was still
held 40 minutes later, after the drain expired and the server restarted.
It ran only when the person clicked Retry again
> - This pull request checks operator Retries ahead of passive waits,
and wakes the worker as soon as a drain stops or expires
> - The benefit is that a Retry held by a drain starts within one worker
pass after the drain ends

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A person clicked Retry on a blocked task 14 seconds after a deployment's
task drain started. The Retry was saved as `deferred_issue_execution`,
and the immediate dispatch returned early because of the drain. The
drain had a 20-minute TTL, and the deployment restarted the server about
6 minutes in. The held Retry still did not start, and its `updated_at`
never changed. Forty minutes later the person clicked Retry again, and
the new request started a run and merged with the held one.

That instance had 390 held wakes: 271 execution waits and 116 others,
against 6 task Retries. The execution waits come due every 30 seconds.
Measured on the instance, the deferred-receipt worker took about 7
minutes to get through that backlog once.

**Expected behavior**

A Retry that a drain held starts soon after the drain stops or expires,
or after the server restarts, whatever the size of the passive backlog.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a non-idle task drain (`POST /instance/task-drain`).
2. Click Retry on a stopped task. The receipt is
`deferred_issue_execution`.
3. Stop the drain. On `master`, the deferred-receipt worker only notices
on its next 30-second re-check. It then checks the Retry in due-time
order behind every passive wait that came due before it.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at 8148fc0b1e.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/scoped-deadline-work.ts`:
- New optional `priority(entry)`. Due entries are sorted by priority
first, then by due time and id as before.
- New `refresh(hint)`. It clears a scope's reconstruction delay and
invalidates it. Failure backoff is kept.
- New optional `onStop` hook, called when the coordinator stops the
worker.
- `server/src/services/heartbeat/deferred-receipt-work.ts`:
- A `task_retry` receipt that a person requested is an operator Retry,
with priority 1. Passive receipts keep priority 0, so their order does
not change.
- Each deferred scan loads operator Retries first, with their own query,
then pages by id as before. A Retry is therefore in memory in the first
pass even beyond the first 100-row page. A receipt loaded twice merges
by id.
- New optional `owner.subscribeRefresh`. The work calls `refresh()` on
all three of its queues when it fires, and releases the subscription
from `onStop`, so the coordinator's own stop removes it.
- `server/src/services/heartbeat.ts`: passes `subscribeRefresh` that
listens to task-drain changes and expiry. Before this change, a deploy
drain left the worker waiting for its 30-second re-check, behind the
scan's reconstruction delay.
- `server/src/__tests__/deferred-execution-receipt-work.test.ts`, four
new tests:
- A real Retry, requested during a deploy drain, starts a run (to
`succeeded`) within 5 seconds after the drain stops.
- An operator Retry whose id sorts after 120 passive execution waits
(more than one load page) is resumed first, in the first worker pass.
- A held Retry inserted with no notification right after a full scan is
resumed as soon as the drain refresh fires.
  - Stopping only the coordinator removes the drain listener.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run src/__tests__/deferred-execution-receipt-work.test.ts
-t "held by a deploy drain|ahead of a backlog|ordinary committed task
Retry"`: 3 pass. The third is the existing ordinary Retry dispatch test.
- Red checks, removing one piece at a time:
- Without the drain subscription, the drain test fails: the Retry is
still `deferred_issue_execution` with no run after 5 seconds.
- Without the priority, or without the prioritized load, the backlog
test fails: the first resumed request is the passive `00000000-…` wake.
- With `invalidate()` instead of `refresh()`, the post-scan test fails
after 5 seconds.
  - Without the `onStop` release, the listener test fails.
- Full `deferred-execution-receipt-work.test.ts`: 50 pass.
- `chat-channels.integration.test.ts -t "still batches several replies
in one finding thread"`: it timed out once on CI and passes 2 of 2 times
locally with this change.
- `scoped-deadline-work`, `heartbeat-task-drain`,
`heartbeat-task-drain-admission-release`, `cloud-control-task-drain`,
`task-admission-deadline`, `onboarding-first-task-admission` and
`delivery-work-coordinator` suites: 164 pass.
- `pnpm run typecheck` in `server` (layered): clean.

## Risks

- Operator Retries are a small set; there were 6 on the instance above.
They now take the first slots of a worker pass, so passive waits can
move by at most that many places. Passive waits keep their own order.
- A Retry that keeps failing its check still gets the existing failure
backoff, so it cannot take every pass.
- A drain start also wakes the worker. That pass ends at once, because
the worker's run gate still reads the drain.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) via Claude Code, with tool use
(shell, file editing, vitest runs against embedded PostgreSQL, read-only
production log and database analysis).

DottaandPaperclip a3b34a9d88 fix(ui): allow queued message deletion before queue acknowledgement (#20553)
## Thinking Path

Paperclip lets a user queue a message while an agent works. The user
must be able to remove that message before delivery starts. A new local
message can clear the displayed queue ID until the server accepts it.
This also disables trash for older saved messages. The page rejects the
action before it sends a request.

This change keeps trash available when the server says the user can
discard the message. When the queue ID is absent, the page uses the
existing comment cancellation route. The server finds the queue and
checks the author and dispatch state in the same transaction.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Trash stays disabled for a saved queued message while another message
waits for queue acknowledgement. The page handler also throws before it
sends a cancellation request.

**Expected behavior**

Trash removes the selected queued message before dispatch. A message
that has started dispatch stays visible with an error. Other queued
messages stay queued.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Send a follow-up while an agent works.
2. Send another follow-up before the queue read includes it.
3. Try to discard the first saved message.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced from source at `0e3fdebea825`.

**Deployment mode**

Source checkout on Linux. UI tests use jsdom. Route tests use isolated
embedded PostgreSQL.

Related work: #15865 changes mixed-queue interrupt handling. #15939
changes recovery after a queued message is discarded. #15465 changes
discard permissions for agent-authored entries. This change fixes trash
for a user's own saved messages while queue acknowledgement is pending.

## What Changed

- Keep trash enabled for a saved message with discard permission when
the displayed queue ID is absent.
- Use the existing author-only cancellation route when queue identity is
pending. Keep the revision-checked route when queue identity is present.
- Keep failed cancellations visible. Refresh the queue after
cancellation and remove successful deletions from comment caches.
- Cover deletion, dispatch conflicts, permission failures, network
failures, history reloads, final-message cleanup, and concurrent
dispatch.

## Verification

- Red: three regression cases failed on the original production code.
The trash button was disabled. Both page cases made no cancellation
request.
- Green: five complete UI suites pass, with 767 tests and one existing
skipped test. These cover the page, queue component, thread, queue
merge, and optimistic comments.
- Green: 11 focused PostgreSQL route cases pass. They cover both routes,
queue promotion, final-message cleanup, authorship, dispatch conflicts,
and a concurrent dispatch claim.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` and `git diff --check` pass.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` passes.
- The GitHub tree is `d4f0d61cbef2620c1fd62e6988ad80ccb1ba6173`. It is
identical to the tested local tree after merging master `902f3767960d`.
- `pnpm verify` selected more than 1,500 server test files. That broad
local run was stopped without a pass claim. CI will supply broad build
and test coverage. The preflight helper could not build Rust because
Cargo is absent.
- [CI
Build](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42835584447/job/129897150252)
and [browser
E2E](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42835584447/job/129901676175)
pass for head `44dea22faea51a6664a6f45852a42f62f5c72bbd`.
- [Greptile
review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/20553#issuecomment-6770202777)
gives the current head 5/5 with zero comments and no unresolved review
threads.
- [Final CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42835584447)
passes for head `44dea22faea51a6664a6f45852a42f62f5c72bbd`: 55 check
runs passed and 4 were skipped. No failures or pending checks remain.
Typecheck, Build, all general test shards, serialized suites, Runner
checks, and browser E2E passed. Snyk also passed.

## Risks

The fallback has no client queue revision. The existing server
transaction finds the queue for the selected comment and checks
ownership and dispatch state. Tests cover rejection after dispatch and
when another user owns the message. No API contract or schema changes
are required. No visual tokens change. Existing user documentation
remains accurate.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 in Codex. The runtime does not expose a more specific
provider revision or context window size. Used reasoning, repository
tools, code edits, and test execution.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip f30ac226d6 Keep project environment mappings independent of shared defaults (#20651)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A project supplies work context and repository storage to task runs.
> - Creation selected a storage owner but did not retain the selected
environment on the project.
> - Configuration stored an environment inside checkout policy, but
policy reads and run selection dropped it.
> - Projects therefore continued to follow shared agent and instance
defaults.
> - This pull request saves placement on each project and uses it for
new runs.
> - The benefit is an independent Project to Environment association
with the existing storage, trust, and recovery safeguards.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20459 and #11644. Follow-up to #20587.

The reported journey is Project > Configuration: changing one project's
environment must not change another project's mapping or shared
defaults.

Related open PR #18176 repairs placement through the legacy
workspace-policy field. This follow-up introduces a separate project
association, saves creation defaults, and migrates saved legacy
references. It overlaps that PR's placement, permission, and recovery
safeguards. The changes should be reviewed together. #9588 concerns
environment-variable response privacy and does not address placement.
ROADMAP.md has no separate project-association work planned.

## What Changed

- Add nullable `projects.environment_id` and expose
`Project.environmentId`. Save the effective creation default once on the
project. Keep environment placement separate from checkout/isolation
policy.
- Read and write Environment directly in Project Configuration. Keep the
control available with isolated workspaces disabled. Each form reads its
project's value, even when environment choices share a query cache.
- Offer environments compatible with the current storage owner. Change
the target and storage together when the existing storage selector
attaches a core project to a plugin. Preserve retained-data restrictions
and validate the observed storage owner again on save.
- Resolve new task runs from their organizational project's target
before agent and instance defaults. File sources from another project do
not change placement. Explicit low-trust sandbox choices and enforced
sandbox policies retain precedence. External provider placement remains
separate.
- Restore admitted native runs from their owned environment lease. Later
project edits apply to new admissions. Require workspace-write
permission for environment changes and clears. Check company bindings
before runtime admission and during lease creation.
- Migrate valid saved policy references into the project column.
Normalize legacy API writes. Count and clear matching project references
when an environment is deleted. Update API and behavior documentation.
- Refresh the maintained SDK source registry for the two changed shared
files. Runtime pins are unchanged.

## Verification

- [Hosted
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42908045146)
is green on `8b3b7d5b5aed51fc4c8e9c2e3506508bbaf9e00c`: **60 successful
checks**, three skipped gates, no failures, and `ci / verify` passed.
GitHub reports no merge conflicts. Standard Greptile scored the same
commit **5/5** with both review threads resolved.
- Source checkout on macOS arm64, Node 26.12.0, with fresh isolated
PostgreSQL. No production data or live provider calls.
- The two-project component test changes the first form with isolation
disabled and a shared query cache. The second form keeps its target.
Storage changes update only the selected project. A saved target remains
selected while the list loads, and an explicit clear remains possible.
- API integration creates two projects from the same default, patches
one, reads both, and checks that agent and instance defaults remain
unchanged. A later instance-default change does not rewrite either saved
project target. Tests cover unavailable/incompatible choices, anonymous
and cross-company denials, and storage preconditions.
- The migration test runs the actual SQL against an existing project row
and verifies its environment and disabled checkout policy survive.
Deletion accounting and clearing affect only matching project
references.
- The final guard set passes **53 tests across four files**:
`project-environments.test.ts`,
`environment-selection-route-guards.test.ts`,
`heartbeat/environment-selection.test.ts`, and
`ProjectProperties.environment.test.tsx`. All **64
environment-run-orchestrator tests** pass, including direct lease
acquisition without an extra caller argument. The broader affected set
passed **109 tests across eight files** before the additional admission
guards. These sets overlap.
- UI typecheck, migration numbering/safety, token gates, module
boundaries, query-error rendering, and diff checks pass. `pnpm verify
--explain` returns exit 2 and requires broad CI because shared
schema/runtime paths and behavior documentation changed. Broad coverage
is delegated to current-head CI.
- Early iterations failed due to a legacy parser that drops the
environment field, a fixture without real company membership, and
incorrect expectations for privacy-preserving 404 denials. The service
now reads legacy references before normalization, the API fixture has
real membership, and denial assertions match the existing privacy
contract. The orchestrator mock also needed the reused company-binding
guard in its service contract. The focused suites above pass after those
corrections.
- Local server typecheck remains blocked by installed ACPX, Slack, AI
SDK, and Runner type mismatches in unchanged dependency-facing code. It
reports no errors in the changed production paths. This is not a full
local typecheck or suite pass. Hosted CI supplies full current-head
coverage.
- SDK source-proof and privacy qualification passes **56 tests across
three files**, including the real built SDK. The maintained source
registry matches the committed revision; runtime pins are unchanged.
- Review reproduced two failures: an incoming policy without a storage
owner could be validated before the existing owner was restored, and
uppercase legacy UUIDs missed migration matching. Preserve the owner
before validation and compare normalized UUID text. Both regressions now
pass. The post-fix project/storage/orchestrator batch passes **107
tests**: `node node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run
server/src/__tests__/project-environments.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/project-workspace-provider.integration.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-run-orchestrator.test.ts --silent`.
- The first hosted run failed build, typecheck, and canary at the same
`run-completion.test.ts` call because lease acquisition required a new
argument. The lease method now enforces binding internally. Its existing
caller compiles without a new field, and the orchestrator tests prove
the binding flag reaches the runtime. The full server check no longer
reports that error; the local dependency errors above remain.

## Risks

- Apply the normal database migration before serving the new revision.
The migration adds a nullable foreign key and copies valid legacy
project selections. It does not move repository data or resize provider
storage. The five newest schema snapshots are retained.
- New projects retain their creation target when shared defaults change.
Existing projects without a saved selection continue to inherit
defaults. A null target explicitly opts into inheritance.
- Existing saved project selections now affect placement. Missing,
archived, incompatible, and foreign-company targets fail validation;
they do not silently choose another storage owner. A running admitted
process keeps its original owned lease.
- Local dependency limitations are listed above. No live-provider,
deployed-browser, or production rollout qualification is claimed.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, tool use, and code
execution. The exact serving snapshot and context-window size are not
exposed in this session.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 358977454b test(native): cover unknown-outcome recovery and hold settlement without a recorded PID space (#20649)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - #20628 settles a host-tool callback that a server restart orphaned,
and settles the no-replay holds that earlier releases left for a
completed turn
> - Review of #20628 asked for two more cases. That PR merged before the
commit with those cases reached it
> - This pull request adds only those tests
> - The benefit is that the two edge rules of #20628 stay covered

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20628

**What happened?**
The review of #20628 named two untested rules. First, a recovery
authority that throws `semantic_tool_outcome_unknown` must settle only
for a callback from an earlier controller, and must rethrow for this
controller's own callback. Second, a coordinator row saved before
`controller_host_hash` existed must still settle its holds through the
stopped controller boot.

**Expected behavior**
Both rules have regression tests.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Read `recoverToolCallback` and `native_completed_turn_cleanup_hold`
on master.
2. Search the tests for a thrown `semantic_tool_outcome_unknown`, or for
a row with a null `controllerHostHash`. Neither exists.

**Paperclip version or commit**
master at 2150820bd8.

## What Changed

- `durable-prp-control-plane.test.ts`: an authority that throws
`semantic_tool_outcome_unknown` settles as
`tool_call_interrupted_by_restart` for `earlier_controller`, and
rethrows for `this_controller`. Any other rejection rethrows.
- `completed-turn-cleanup-hold-settle.test.ts`: a coordinator row
without `controllerHostHash`, whose server boot is recorded stopped in
`controller_instances`, settles the run's holds through the
controller-instance proof. No attestation is needed.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run src/control-plane/durable-prp-control-plane.test.ts -t
"orphaned by a server restart"` in `packages/paperclip-runner`: 7
passed.
- `npx vitest run
src/__tests__/completed-turn-cleanup-hold-settle.test.ts` in `server`: 5
passed.
- `tsc --noEmit -p packages/paperclip-runner/tsconfig.test.json` and
`tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json` pass.

## Risks

- Low risk. Test-only change. No production code changes.

DottaandClaude 805531cc71 fix(native): never leave a cleanup-gated task without Retry or an owner (#20639)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs close their provider session at the end of each attempt.
When close cannot prove that the runner stopped, the runner keeps a
cleanup gate (`native_session_cleanup_quarantined`) in server memory
> - #20572 hid Retry for every gated run and said "Paperclip finishes
the cleanup automatically". Only a remote environment release settles
the gate. A local gate that needs an operator never settles, and a
server restart loses it
> - A restart-chaos wave on master found two tasks that rested blocked
with no Retry, no scheduled retry and no recovery owner. A person could
not continue them
> - This pull request makes the run's own recovery retire the gate when
the host proves the old processes stopped. It also offers Retry whenever
nothing settles the gate, and it makes that Retry work
> - The benefit is that a cleanup-gated task either continues by itself
or shows a Retry that starts. It never rests without both

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20572, #20578

**What happened?**
Restart-chaos wave `w-20261110T185144-s9107` (local, claude, fault TM2:
the server is paused with SIGSTOP for about 33 s). Tasks t04 and t05
completed their provider turn. The runner checkpoint owner lapsed while
the server was paused (`native_runner_checkpoint_owner_lost`). The
session close then failed with `native_session_close_unrecoverable:
runner did not durably suspend before checkpoint`. The provider had
drained and no tool call was pending. The runner kept an
operator-required cleanup gate. Thirty seconds later the run's own
same-run recovery verified that the runner process and group had stopped
(`native.local_process_stopped`). The gate still refused the recovery,
and the run ended `failed` with `native_session_cleanup_quarantined`.
The task showed `canRetry: false` and a cleanup wait until the deadline.
Nothing owned that wait.

**Expected behavior**
When the old runner and provider processes are proven stopped, the run's
own recovery continues. When nothing settles the gate, the task offers a
Retry that starts.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run restart-chaos L7: `--env local --adapters codex,claude
--workloads A1,B5,C1 --faults TM1,TM2,TM3 --time-age-hours 1
--concurrency 3 --tasks 6 --seed 9107`.
2. Observe a claude TM2 task rest `blocked` with `canRetry=false`,
`retryWait=true` and no scheduled retry.

**Paperclip version or commit**
master at ed3ffc3bc7.

## What Changed

- `native-session-executor.ts`: add `provenStoppedOwnNativeSession`. It
returns proof only for a local run with a pid-bound
`native.local_process_stopped` record (no later launch) and with every
recorded provider process gone. An ACPX session open names no provider
PID; its sidecar counts only when it shares the runner's process group,
which the stop record proves empty.
- `native-session-executor.ts`: add
`retireStoppedOwnSessionCleanupGate`. With that proof, it retires the
run's own operator-required gate through the existing
`completeTerminatedLocalNativeSessionCleanup` boundary and records
`native.session_cleanup_gate_retired`.
- `heartbeat.ts`: the native recovery preamble calls it right after it
records the local process stop, before admission. The recovery decision
itself does not change.
- `explicit-native-continuation.ts`: Retry or a new message accepts the
run's own stop proof when the retained-state inventory proof does not
apply. It still starts a fresh session, and it never resumes the old
turn.
- `task-interruption-presentation.ts`: hide Retry for a gated run only
while a live owner settles the gate: an unreleased remote environment,
or a scheduled close in this process. Otherwise offer Retry. The same
rule applies to a Retry held on `cleanup_quarantined`.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: describe the new rule.

## Verification

- Red before the fix, green after (5 tests failed on master sources):
- `server/src/services/task-interruption-presentation.test.ts`: "offers
Retry when nothing settles the gate by itself", "holds a Retry on a
cleanup gate only while an owner settles it", and an invariant test: a
failed presentation without Retry must name a wait, and a cleanup wait
needs a settling owner.
- `server/src/__tests__/task-interruption-query.test.ts` (real
Postgres): an unreleased remote lease hides Retry; the released lease
offers it.
- `server/src/services/quarantined-task-retry.test.ts`: "starts a task
Retry for a run's own quarantine proven stopped by its own process
record" (stopped, and provider alive stays held).
- New: "retires a run's own failed-close gate once its runner and
providers are proven stopped" for codex PIDs, an ACPX sidecar in the
runner's group, a sidecar with its own group, a live provider, and no
stop record.
- `npx vitest run` of `quarantined-task-retry`,
`task-interruption-presentation`, `task-interruption-query` and
`explicit-native-continuation`: 575 passed.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server` passes.
- Live: LIVE_PROOF_PLACEHOLDER

## Risks

- The gate retirement removes process ownership only. It runs only for a
local run whose exact runner and group and every recorded provider
process are proven gone. A provider without a recorded process identity
keeps the gate.
- Retry on a gated run still runs every existing stop check. If the stop
cannot be proven, the Retry waits and the task keeps a Retry, instead of
a wait that nobody settles.
- No persisted shape changes. Runs saved by earlier releases use the
same fields.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 353945c86d fix(tool-gateway): let agents create gateway tokens without receiving the value (#20613)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Tool gateways let external MCP clients use a company's tools with a
gateway client token
> - Since delegated connection management (#17737), an agent can create
and revoke gateway client tokens for its responsible person
> - #20581 stopped agents from getting the one-time token value, but it
did this by making token creation person-only
> - The product decision is that agents keep their delegated authority
to create and revoke tokens
> - This pull request restores agent token creation, but the agent never
receives the token value: the person reveals the value once on the
gateway's Tokens page
> - The benefit is that an agent can do the rotation work for the
person, and the secret still never enters chat, run events, logs or tool
output

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17737
Refs #20581

**What happened**
After #20581, `POST /api/tool-gateway/gateways/{gatewayId}/tokens`
returns 403 `gateway_token_requires_person` to every agent caller.
Agents lost the delegated authority to create gateway client tokens that
#17737 gave them. Before #20581, an agent that created a token received
the plaintext value in its tool result and could repeat it in chat.

**Expected behavior**
An agent with delegated connection management can create and revoke
gateway client tokens. The agent never receives a token value. The
responsible person gets the value once, on the gateway's Tokens page.
Person callers keep today's behavior.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Give an agent delegated connection management for a responsible
person with `tools:admin`.
2. As the agent, call `POST
/api/tool-gateway/gateways/{gatewayId}/tokens` (for example through
`call_api`).
3. See 403 `gateway_token_requires_person`.

## What Changed

- Agent create: `POST /api/tool-gateway/gateways/:gatewayId/tokens` from
an agent with delegated authority returns 201 with token metadata only
(`id`, `tokenPrefix`, `expiresAt`, `pendingReveal: true`), plus
`tokensPath`, a `reveal_credential` `requiredUserAction` for the
responsible person, and a `nextStep` instruction. The saved row has no
usable value: its stored hash is of a value that is generated and then
discarded. Gateway authentication also rejects `pendingReveal` rows.
- Person reveal: new person-only `POST
/api/tool-gateway/gateway-tokens/:tokenId/reveal`. It generates the
value, stores its hash, clears `pendingReveal` and returns the value
once. A conditional update makes a second or concurrent reveal return
409. Only the token's responsible person can reveal it (403
`gateway_token_reveal_requires_responsible_person`). Agent callers get
403 `gateway_token_requires_person`. A token revoked before reveal
cannot be revealed.
- Why a reveal that generates the value: no stored plaintext existed to
reveal, and storing one (even encrypted) for later display adds a secret
at rest. Generating the value at reveal time keeps the existing one-time
display and stores only a hash.
- Schema: `tool_mcp_gateway_tokens.pending_reveal boolean not null
default false` (migration `0460_gateway_token_pending_reveal`). Shared
`ToolMcpGatewayToken.pendingReveal`, and `ConnectionRequiredUserAction`
gets `reveal_credential` / `gateway_token`.
- UI: the Tokens page shows a "Waiting for you to reveal" section for
pending tokens with a "Reveal token" button. The value appears in the
existing "New token — copy now" one-time block. Pending tokens show the
status "Not revealed".
- Agent gateway create: the 201 for agent callers also includes
`gatewayPath`, `tokensPath` and a `nextStep` that tells the agent to
link the saved gateway.
- The agent create-token `nextStep` and the catalog say not to revoke
the old token in the same turn: its client keeps working on it until the
person installs the new value.
- The reveal update and its `tool_gateway.token_revealed` activity entry
commit in one transaction. The Tokens page offers Reveal only for tokens
that act for the signed-in person.
- API reference: new `docs/api/tool-gateway-tokens.md` (create, reveal,
revoke) in the docs nav.
- Revoke stays allowed for agents with delegated authority (unchanged
route).
- API catalog: create-gateway, create-token, reveal and revoke
descriptions now say who acts, that agents never receive values, the
page paths, and that the old token is revoked only after the client
works with the new one.
- Agent access map: create-token policy note and a new reveal entry.
- Evals `gateways-profiles.create-gateway` and
`gateways-profiles.rotate-token`:
- Remove the keyword grader (`human|operator|admin|manage`) and the
handoff text checks. Grade saved state, rendered links and secret
absence. A plain reply or a question card is accepted.
- Remove the setup probes that called the create routes as the agent.
Under delegated authority, those probes created a real gateway
("Forbidden agent gateway"), which failed create-gateway before the
agent ran.
- create-gateway: exactly one gateway for the intended profile and
company, created by the agent (or by the person after a handoff); the
person opens it from a rendered link; attribution matches the creator;
any agent-created token is still pending reveal; no token value in chat,
cards or run events.
- rotate-token: after the agent's turn, both setup tokens still work and
any replacement the agent created is pending the person's reveal; the
person follows the rendered Tokens page link and reveals (or issues) the
value in a private browser; the new value works before the old token is
revoked; the unrelated client keeps access; no token value appears
anywhere, including a regex scan for any full `pcgw_<id>.<secret>`
value.
- The changed scenario context and outcomes are recorded in
`chat-full-catalog-testops-manifest.json` `changedFields` and pinned in
the manifest test. The inventory digest, descriptors (`oracleVersion`
v2, `sourceFiles`) and SDK public input pins are updated. The unused
`external-gateway-handoff.ts` module is removed.
- Fixture realism: the create-gateway profile now allows a real read
tool (an empty profile made the agent ask which apps to add instead of
finishing), and the rotation tokens get a neutral owner note instead of
"Disposable rotation fixture" (the agent read that note as an eval
hint).
- Shared private-browser helpers (`external-private-browser.ts`,
`external-private-browser-worker.ts`) get one optional `pendingTokenId`
input and one `revealedPending` receipt field.

## Verification

- Red: on `master` route code, the new integration tests `lets agents
create and revoke gateway client tokens without ever receiving a token
value` and `reveals an agent-created gateway token value only to its
responsible person` fail (403 `gateway_token_requires_person`).
- Green: `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/connection-management.integration.test.ts -t gateway` (25
passed). The test checks that the agent `call_api` result has no `token`
field and no token-shaped value, that the agent cannot reveal, that the
person reveals once (second reveal 409) and the value authenticates,
that agent revoke works and stops the value, that a token revoked before
reveal never gets a value, and that person create still returns the
value.
- `npx vitest run src/__tests__/tool-gateway.test.ts
src/__tests__/openapi-routes.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/runner-api.test.ts` (2247 passed).
- `cd ui && npx vitest run
src/pages/apps/gateways/panels/TokensPanel.test.tsx
src/pages/apps/gateways/gateway-helpers.test.ts` (16 passed); `pnpm
check:token-gates` clean.
- Eval graders and catalog: `pnpm exec vitest run --config
tests/runner-e2e/vitest.config.ts` on the gateway oracle tests,
`external.test.ts`, catalog consistency/contract, TestOps
export/retained, phase/clock callers and SDK input/type tests (all
pass); `node --test` on the TestOps manifest, adapter, contract,
streaming and reconcile tests (all pass); `node
tests/runner-e2e/source-sdk-public-inputs.mjs <HEAD> --check`
(unchanged).
- `node scripts/check-maps.mjs` passes. `tsc --noEmit` for `server`,
`ui` and `tests/runner-e2e`: no errors in changed files.
- Paid end-to-end run of both eval cases, run
[42872921890](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42872921890)
on 39f38a7f6c (before the last three commits): both FAILED, for
agent-behavior reasons the later commits address. Not rerun yet.
- rotate-token: the agent created the replacement (pending reveal, no
value), then revoked the old token in the same turn, despite the create
response saying to wait. Its reasoning cited the eval-looking fixture
note. The grader rejected the premature revocation. The reply linked the
Tokens page correctly.
- create-gateway: the agent created the gateway and one pending token,
then asked a question card about which apps to add to the empty profile,
with no link to the gateway. The grader rejected the missing link.
- Token values: a scan of all evidence files of both cells found no full
`pcgw_<id>.<secret>` value and no `pcgw_<uuid>` form. Agent `call_api`
payloads in run events are redacted; the integration test proves the
agent tool result has no value.

## Risks

- Behavior change for agents: token create returns metadata and a Tokens
page path, not a value. Agents that expect `token` in the response must
send the person to the Tokens page.
- Migration adds one boolean column with a default. Existing tokens get
`false` and keep working.
- A pending token that is never revealed stays as an unusable row until
someone revokes it. It cannot authenticate.

## Model Used

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 4398a723c0 fix(native): settle tool callbacks and holds that a server restart orphaned (#20628)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs send provider tool calls to the server as durable
semantic inputs. The server runs the tool and saves the result in the
controller journal
> - Close must prove that every admitted tool call has a saved result.
Otherwise it reports `native_session_settlement_incomplete` and the
runner holds a cleanup gate (`native_session_cleanup_quarantined`)
> - A server restart in the middle of a tool call leaves its input
without a result. The new controller asks the tool authority for a
receipt. Tools without a receipt (assigned app tools,
`connections_search`) return nothing, so the input stays pending forever
> - Runs that already failed this way kept no-replay holds for a turn
that had completed. The task stayed blocked with no Retry and no
continuation
> - Restarts are normal. Work that a restart interrupts must settle by
itself, not wait for a person
> - This pull request settles such a callback as interrupted, with an
unknown outcome, when its owner is provably gone, and settles the holds
that earlier releases left once their controller is gone. It never runs
the tool or the turn again
> - The benefit is that close drains after a restart, and tasks that
earlier releases blocked this way continue on their own

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20572 (that PR fixed the presentation of this quarantine. Its
Risks section names this runner drain rule as a separate follow-up.)
Refs #20641 (it settles a resolved no-replay hold when a sibling action
saved the run's files. This PR covers a different case: the hold's own
recovery saved the files, and its run's turn completed. Both use the
same recovery receipt, `completedWorkspaceRecoveryCondition`.)

**What happened?**
A remote native run started an assigned app tool call. The server
restarted 3 seconds later. The new server adopted the runner, and the
provider turn completed about 9 minutes later. The tool call never got a
saved result. Close reported `native_session_settlement_incomplete` with
`runnerSuspended: true`, `providerDrained: false` and one pending
callback. The session quarantined, and the same-run recovery was refused
at admission. A second run showed the same shape with a
`connections_search` callback after a later restart.

The first run then had two resolved-but-blocked holds with
`preserve_without_replay_v1` and an unknown action outcome: the
cleanup-quarantine hold, and a continuation hold whose workspace
recovery saved the files. The task view said "Saved work recovered. Send
a message to continue." with no Retry and no continuation. The task
waits on a child task and stays blocked.

**Expected behavior**
After a restart, a tool call without a saved result settles
automatically. A durable receipt is replayed. Without a receipt, the
agent is told that the outcome is unknown. Close proves the drain, and
no cleanup gate is left. Holds that earlier releases left for a
completed turn settle without a person, and the task continues when its
own wait ends.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a native run and call an assigned app tool.
2. Restart the server while the tool call runs.
3. Let the adopted turn complete, then close the session. Close reports
`native_session_settlement_incomplete` and quarantines. The task stays
blocked by the no-replay holds.

**Paperclip version or commit**
master at fd6e71a7ff.

## What Changed

- Root cause: `DurablePrpControlPlane.#recoverPendingSemanticInputsOnce`
(`packages/paperclip-runner/src/control-plane/durable-prp-control-plane.ts`)
keeps an input pending when `recoverSemanticToolInput` returns null.
`PaperclipRunnerToolAuthority.recover` returns null for every tool
without a durable receipt. Nothing else could settle the input, so
`semanticToolResultsSettled()` stayed false and `#closeOnce` in
`runnerd-codex-transport.ts` threw
`NativeSessionCloseUnrecoverableError`.
- The control plane now passes `admission` to
`recoverSemanticToolInput`: `this_controller` when this instance
dispatched the callback live, `earlier_controller` when it restored the
input from an earlier controller's journal. The field is not written to
the result command or the journal. A live dispatch leaves this record
when its result is journaled.
- New
`packages/paperclip-runner/src/control-plane/orphaned-tool-callback.ts`:
- `dispatchToolCallback` records the callbacks that this process runs,
and the ones it saw fail.
- `recoverToolCallback` replays a durable receipt first. Without one, it
settles an `earlier_controller` callback that this process does not run
as `tool_call_interrupted_by_restart` (error result, `outcome:
"unknown"`, `retryable: false`). A `semantic_tool_outcome_unknown`
rejection from the authority settles the same way, only under the same
owner-gone proof.
- `native-session-executor.ts`: `SessionAuthorityEpoch.execute` runs
through `dispatchToolCallback`. `SessionAuthorityEpoch.recover` runs
through `recoverToolCallback`. The three recovery call sites pass
`admission`.
- New ownership kind `native_completed_turn_cleanup_hold`
(`server/src/services/native-runtime/completed-turn-cleanup-hold-settlement.ts`,
registered in `recovery/ownership-registry.ts`). It lists a native run
that failed with `native_session_cleanup_quarantined` after its saved
checkpoint recorded a completed turn, and that has a system-recorded
no-replay hold. After `proveOwnerGone` proves the closing controller
gone (its in-process cleanup gate went with it), it settles each such
hold as `restored`, removes its replay block, and logs
`issue.recovery_action_resolved`. A hold that still protects files not
verified as saved stays for workspace recovery. Operator decisions are
never reopened. It starts no turn. `heartbeat.ts` registers the ordinary
resume path (`resumeRemoteStopComments`) for saved user input.
- Docs: `doc/execution-semantics.md` and
`packages/paperclip-runner/docs/durable-recovery.md`.

## Verification

- Red before the fix, green after:
-
`packages/paperclip-runner/src/control-plane/durable-prp-control-plane.test.ts`
"host-tool callback orphaned by a server restart". It uses the real
control plane and an authenticated runner. A callback starts 3 seconds
before the restart, the old controller retires with no result, the new
controller adopts the runner, the turn completes, and then recovery
runs. `paperclip_call_assigned_tool` and `connections_search` settle as
`tool_call_interrupted_by_restart`, the runner accepts the late result,
`semanticToolResultsSettled()` becomes true (the condition close
requires), and the tool is not dispatched again. Before the fix, 4 of 5
cases failed: recovery received no admission and the callback stayed
pending.
- `server/src/__tests__/completed-turn-cleanup-hold-settle.test.ts` uses
the staging shape of both holds (real Postgres, rows as earlier releases
saved them). Before the fix, the ownership reconciler did not list them
(4 of 4 failed), and the execution blocker was the files hold with
`canRetry: false` and `canContinue: false`. After the fix, both holds
settle as `restored`, the execution blocker is null, no run is created,
the task keeps `blocked`, and the next pass lists nothing.
- Safety cases:
- A callback that this process still runs stays pending. After it
finishes, the next recovery pass settles it.
- A callback that this controller dispatched and saw rejected stays
pending, as before.
  - A durable receipt is replayed and not replaced.
- Holds stay while the closing controller is alive (its gate may still
exist).
- A hold whose files are not saved stays; the run's other hold settles.
  - Holds of a run whose turn did not complete are never listed.
- Focused suites pass: `durable-prp-control-plane.test.ts` and
`runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts` (506 tests); runner adoption,
release-resume, semantic readiness, ACPX reconciliation and external
driver tests; `native-session-executor.test.ts` and
`native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts` (1496 tests);
`ownership-reconciliation-report.test.ts` and
`interrupted-preparation-hold-settle.test.ts`.
- `tsc --noEmit -p packages/paperclip-runner/tsconfig.test.json` passes.
`pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` passes.
- `pnpm verify` returns exit 2 (a global doc input changed), so required
CI supplies the broad coverage.

## Risks

- Previous-release story: no persisted shape changes. `admission` is
computed at recovery and never saved. A journal that an earlier release
saved with a pending callback restores as `earlier_controller`, so that
session settles at its next adoption. Holds that earlier releases saved
settle on the reconciler's first pass after deploy. No migration.
- No double execution: recovery never calls the tool again. It replays a
durable receipt or reports an unknown outcome. The agent is told to
check the current state before it repeats the call. Hold settlement
starts no turn and replays nothing.
- The owner-gone proof for a callback: the new controller holds the
run's checkpoint fence, and the earlier controller retired its journal
writer. If the earlier process is still alive during an overlapping
deploy, it can still finish the tool, but it can never record a result
in this session. The unknown outcome is accurate in that case.
- Hold settlement requires `proveOwnerGone` on the closing controller's
stamp, because the cleanup gate lives in that process. On a server that
has not restarted since the quarantine, the holds stay.
- The in-process failure memory is bounded to 4,096 entries. Eviction
only lets a much older failed callback settle as interrupted later. It
never replays it.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 38944cff1a fix(environments): retry and safely replace a reusable sandbox that will not resume (#20626)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A task that runs on a reusable (warm) cloud sandbox resumes the same
sandbox on the next wake
> - When a follow-up arrives while the provider is auto-stopping or
archiving the idle sandbox, the resume can fail
> - Each failed attempt waited the provider's whole five-minute start
deadline and then failed with `reusable_sandbox_resume_failed`, even
when the workspace was saved and nothing lived only on the sandbox
> - Two such runs in a row made a user wait for many minutes and
recorded two failed runs
> - This pull request bounds the resume, retries a state change inside
the run, and replaces the sandbox from the saved snapshot when that is
safe
> - The benefit is that recovery works automatically and the first turn
is not delayed by minutes

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
Two consecutive runs failed before provider dispatch with: `Reusable
sandbox lease "<id>" could not be resumed (cause=provider_error); the
lease was preserved and no replacement was created.` Each run took about
5.5 minutes (320s and 330s) in preparation. The third run resumed the
same sandbox from `stopped` in 4.7 seconds after the provider settled.
The previous run had ended with a clean final save and a verified
harness backup.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Let a task's reusable sandbox go idle so that the provider auto-stops
or archives it.
2. Send a follow-up while the provider still reports the sandbox as
changing state.
3. The Daytona worker waits in `ensureSandboxStarted` until its 300s
start deadline and throws "is still <state> at its start deadline". The
host does not classify that as transient and it has no safe fallback, so
the run fails.

**Expected behavior**
The run retries briefly. If the sandbox still cannot start and nothing
lives only on it, the run continues on a replacement sandbox that
restores the saved workspace.

**Root cause**
`server/src/services/environment-runtime.ts` (reusable resume block,
about line 1820): the resume deadline was the provider's full start
deadline (300s plus RPC margin), the transient classifier did not
recognize a state transition, and the catch always threw
`ReusableSandboxResumeError`. #20212 waits out a state change inside the
same 300s start deadline, so it covers the start but not the time budget
or the fallback.

## What Changed

- Add `server/src/services/reusable-sandbox-resume-replacement.ts`:
- `REUSABLE_SANDBOX_RESUME_BUDGET_MS` (90s): the total resume time for
one run, retries included.
- `sandboxStateTransitionFailure`: "state change in progress" and "is
still <state> at its start deadline" are transient.
- `retireUnresumableReusableSandboxLease`: replace only when the lease
is `released`/`retained` with no live owner, the task workspace is clean
with a committed saved snapshot and no other writer, and a
`paperclip_runner` session has a verified lease-bound harness backup.
Access refusals (401/403) and an unavailable worker stay strict. After
the replacement lease (which carries the harness backup) is recorded,
the old lease moves to `pending_cleanup` (reason `resume_failed`) in one
guarded write, so the existing cleanup sweep destroys the old sandbox
and no provider delete runs before the first turn. A failed creation or
a restart before that write leaves the old lease `retained` for the next
attempt.
- `environment-runtime.ts`: cap the resume deadline at the budget, treat
a state transition as transient, and call the replacement policy before
failing. A replacement records `sandboxLeaseAcquisition: { outcome:
"replacement", reason: "resume_failed" }`; workspace preparation then
restores the saved snapshot.
- `remote-workspace-transport.ts`: add the closed failure label
`sandbox_state_transition`, so a strict failure names the cause instead
of `provider_error`.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: document the budget, the in-run retry,
the replacement conditions, and the strict cases.
- Update the two slow-start tests: the resume RPC timeout is now 90s
instead of 330s/150s. A 61s start still resumes the same sandbox.

## Verification

- Red before the fix (new file
`server/src/__tests__/environment-runtime-reusable-resume-replacement.test.ts`,
staging shape: lease created by the real acquisition path, then retained
after a clean save with a backup stamp, 300s provider deadline, worker
refusal with no status): 3 tests failed with `could not be resumed
(cause=provider_error); the lease was preserved and no replacement was
created.`
- Green after the fix: 10/10 pass, including a case where the
replacement creation fails and the next run replaces the sandbox with
the backup carried forward. The safe case replaces the sandbox, keeps
every resume RPC at or below 90s, makes no synchronous destroy call, and
moves the old lease to `pending_cleanup`. A single state-change refusal
resumes the same sandbox inside the run. Six strict cases keep the lease
and fail with `cause=sandbox_state_transition`: unsaved work, no saved
version, an uncommitted saved version, a live owner, no verified backup,
and a 403.
- `pnpm exec vitest run src/__tests__/environment-runtime.test.ts` (197
pass), `heartbeat-retry-scheduling`, `legacy-execution-recovery`,
`remote-workspace-transport` (251 pass).
- `tsc -p server/tsconfig.json --noEmit` passes.
- `pnpm verify` exits 2 (a doc change is a global CI input). Required CI
supplies the broad coverage.
- Not run: a live Daytona run on staging. The provider message is kept
off the run record, so the exact transition state on staging (stopping
or archiving) is inferred from timing, not observed.

## Risks

- A strict resume now gives up after 90s instead of 300s. The provider
start continues in the background, and the bounded bootstrap retry
resumes the same sandbox. A stopped sandbox resumes in seconds and an
archived one in about 25s on Daytona, so 90s leaves headroom.
- A replacement leaves the old sandbox to the cleanup sweep. If the old
start finishes later, the sweep still destroys it. The guarded write
only claims a `released`/`retained` lease with no live owner.
- Upgrade safety: no new persisted fields are required. Leases saved by
older releases are read with the same rule; one without a verified
backup stays strict. The replacement reason `resume_failed` already
exists in the acquisition outcome.

execution in Claude Code.

DottaandClaude 070d6f83fd perf(realtime): share permission reads among queued live events (#20624)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A task page shows the output of a running agent as it is produced.
> - The server sends each output event to the browser on the company
WebSocket.
> - Before each send, the server checks permissions and redacts secrets.
Each event did its own sequential database reads.
> - When output arrives faster than those reads complete, the queue
grows. The text reaches the browser later and later, and the server then
closes the connection.
> - This pull request lets the events that are already in the queue
share one set of reads.
> - The benefit is that live output keeps pace with the run, and a
revoked permission still applies to the next event.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

On a hosted instance, the live output of a running task sometimes
appeared very slowly. A probe WebSocket on the company event stream
received events 0.5 seconds after their creation time at the start.
After 30 seconds the delay was 23 seconds. The server delivered about 6
events each second. Then it closed the socket with code 1013.

The delivery loop for a connection is serial. For each transcript event
it ran a membership read, a scope decision, a run lookup and a task read
decision. Native run events added a settings read and a secret registry
read. A burst of 200 events issued 1,401 SQL statements.

**Expected behavior**

Live output reaches the browser at the rate the run produces it. The
cost of the permission checks does not grow with the number of events in
a burst. A revoked permission stops delivery immediately.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Use a deployment that authenticates users, with a database that has a
network round trip.
2. Start several agent runs that produce output at the same time.
3. Open the task page of one run and read the live output.
4. Compare the creation time of each `heartbeat.run.log` or
`heartbeat.run.event` message with its arrival time.
5. The delay grows continuously until the server closes the socket with
code 1013.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at 79e28dc0d0.

## What Changed

- `live-event-delivery.ts` gives each queued event a sequence number. It
passes a shared read set to `authorize`. A set serves only the events
that were in the queue when the set opened. The delivery replaces the
set after one second and discards it when the queue is empty.
- `sharedDeliveryRead` returns the pending read for a key, or starts it.
It removes a read that fails, so the next event reads again.
- `live-events-ws.ts` uses the shared set for the membership or key
check, the transcript scope decision, the run binding and the task read
decision.
- `live-run-event-redaction.ts` uses the shared set for the username
setting and the registered secret values of the run.
`run-secret-redaction.ts` adds `redactorForRun`, which reads the values
one time and returns a redactor.
- `doc/live-transcript-delivery.md` describes the shared reads and their
limits.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run src/realtime/live-event-delivery.test.ts
src/realtime/live-event-delivery.cost.test.ts
src/__tests__/live-events-run-read.test.ts
src/__tests__/live-events-ws.test.ts
src/__tests__/live-events-toast.test.ts` in `server/`. All tests pass.
- New integration test against PostgreSQL: 200 transcript events in one
burst. All events arrive in order. The burst issues at most 40
statements. Without the shared reads the same test fails with 1,401
statements. After the grant is revoked, the next burst delivers nothing.
- New unit tests: 39 events that wait behind one read share the next
read. An event that arrives during a read starts a new read. A set is
replaced after one second. A failed read is not shared.
- The existing tests for revocation, deleted tasks, restricted agent
keys and live redaction pass without changes.
- Assumption tested: an event never uses a read that began before the
event entered the queue. The unit test holds a read open and adds an
event to prove it.
- Not verified: the delay on a hosted instance after deployment. The
measurement above is from before this change.

## Risks

- Permission freshness. Before, each event had its own check. Now a
check can serve events that were already in the queue, for at most one
second. A revocation applies to the first event published after it.
Events already in the queue at the time of the check can still be sent.
That window existed before between a check and its send.
- Secret values. A read set holds decrypted registry values while a
burst drains. The delivery discards the set when the queue is empty and
when the connection closes.
- Plugin run streams use the same redactor and get the same shared
reads.
- No schema, API or protocol change.

DottaandPaperclip 89ec4e7614 feat(links): add cached GitHub pull request previews (#20593)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Task conversations contain links to pull requests and other work.
> - A URL alone cannot tell the operator whether a PR is open, merged,
or blocked by conflicts.
> - Fetching every link at render time wastes API calls and can expose
private data through a shared cache.
> - This pull request adds a demand-driven links service and a GitHub PR
adapter.
> - Each viewer and company has a separate cache. Repeated links share
one request and result.
> - Operators get context when they hover or focus a link. Normal links
stay useful when a provider is unavailable.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Task Markdown links, shared link metadata, and the server GitHub API
boundary.

**Problem or motivation**

PR links have compact labels and neutral icons. They do not provide a
rich hover card or a common status source across repeated mentions. A
background resolver cannot borrow a person's GitHub connection because
it has no viewer identity.

**Proposed solution**

Recognize supported links locally. Request metadata after a delayed
hover or keyboard focus. Show a card at the first line of the link,
aligned with its icon. Share the result across all mentions in the
current viewer and company. Keep the exact original navigation URL.

The first adapter supports GitHub pull requests. Open is green, merged
is purple, and merge conflicts are orange. Draft, closed, unknown,
loading and unavailable states remain quiet.

**Alternatives considered**

Eager page scans would spend API quota on links the operator does not
inspect. Company-wide caching of personal GitHub results would cross the
credential boundary. This change uses neither approach.

**Roadmap alignment**

ROADMAP.md was checked. This extends existing task links and the GitHub
resolver. It adds no deployment adapter or new background worker.
Searches of open and closed PRs for link previews and PR hover cards
found no matching implementation.

## What Changed

- Add host-owned link recognition and a normalized preview contract. The
service selects an adapter by provider.
- Add a board-only company read endpoint. It checks company access
before cache reads and sends a private, no-store response.
- Use the current viewer's eligible GitHub connection. A configured
connection that cannot supply credentials fails closed. With no managed
connection, reuse existing company credentials or public access.
Instance credentials retain the public-repository check.
- Reuse the GitHub external-object resolver for API transport and
response parsing. Add title and mergeability to its normalized snapshot
without changing its existing state contract.
- Coalesce requests by company, viewer and canonical PR URL. Bound
cached entries and concurrent work. Cache success for one minute and
failures for a short period or the provider retry window.
- Add an abortable request deadline. Timed-out work stays in the
concurrency budget until it settles. No periodic worker or idle polling
is added.
- Add a shared browser query and anchored preview card. Repeated
Markdown links observe the same result. There are no automatic retries,
window-focus refreshes, toasts or connection prompts.
- Add ten production-component Storybook examples and real
pointer/keyboard browser checks. Document the API and verification
route.

## Verification

- Linux source checkout: 233 focused tests passed in nine suites. They
cover recognition, fixed API destinations, provider states, access
failures, credential selection, viewer/company isolation, request
coalescing, expiry, cache bounds, concurrency bounds and mounted OpenAPI
coverage.
- A live public GitHub smoke returned this PR's correct title and open
state. Two equivalent URLs shared one real network request. Personal
connection access was not part of that smoke.
- A controlled HTTP server stalls a real response body. The test proves
cancellation while another lookup completes.
- UI typecheck and the server layered typecheck passed. The UI
production build passed.
- Token gates and query policy gates passed. All 30 map/catalog support
checks passed. The three new server test files also passed a focused
TypeScript check.
- All 27 focused browser checks passed on the reviewed source tree. They
cover light/dark themes, narrow layouts,
open/merged/conflict/draft/closed/loading/unavailable/failed states,
fixed positioning during pointer movement, exact navigation and keyboard
access. A real browser HTTP interception counts one deferred lookup for
two equivalent PR links.
- The first browser attempt lacked Chromium. A later combined build/test
attempt exhausted the sandbox's 8 GiB memory limit and killed Storybook.
Those attempts supply no pass evidence. Chromium is installed, and the
final browser checks run with the build stopped. One initial Storybook
dependency reload interrupted a streaming check. All eight existing
inline-link cases passed on the warmed server, followed by a complete
27-case pass.
- Synthetic Storybook pointer events did not exercise the native hover
boundary. The assertions now run through real Playwright pointer and
keyboard actions. The fixture stories retain the production components.
- Review fixes preserve the Draft label when GitHub reports both draft
and conflicts. They also preserve neutral link colors in dark mode. The
25 affected service checks pass, including the added combined-state
regression. Browser checks compare unknown, draft and closed links with
the muted theme color.
- The first CI policy run rejected a literal retry opt-out. The code now
uses the existing explicit zero-retry helper. A new test-spy type error
was also corrected. These failures are fixed; their earlier runs remain
failed.
- `pnpm verify --explain` returned exit 2 because the browser test path
selects broad CI. No full local suite is claimed. The final CI run
supplies that coverage.
- The previous head `437913c797963aa113bb82e2ae8b836969317ef9` passed CI
and received a 5/5 Greptile score. All four review threads are resolved.
Master then advanced. The current head
`ae2a1c2adbd61a621cca9bdd160561952613df6e` resolves the source-manifest
conflict against master `9b21dcbdda01296349f3cfe0a3a6891e79df6130`.
Fresh CI and review are running.
- The previous CI run found a lost class on decorated PR links and a
stale SDK source manifest. Both are fixed. The existing CommentThread
integration test and 26 focused link service tests pass. All 45 SDK
source/privacy tests pass. All eight source-manifest helper tests pass.
The manifest helper changed only source identities and added the two new
shared files. Runtime, compiler, parser and library pins stay unchanged.
- A later review found that expired timeouts could reuse a settled
promise. The service now removes settled requests from its
shared-request map and counts unfinished provider work separately. The
new regression failed before the fix and passes after it. The
concurrency-bound and real stalled-HTTP tests also pass.
- UI typecheck and token gates pass after these fixes. The browser rerun
needed Chromium in the new session. That first attempt did not exercise
the UI. The complete 27-case browser rerun passed before the master
merge with retries disabled. All 27 browser cases also passed on the
merge revision with retries disabled.

- After the master merge, all 84 focused link, OpenAPI and integration
tests pass. All 55 SDK source/privacy/manifest tests pass. UI typecheck
and token gates pass again. The source manifest retains master's
reviewed runtime pins and includes both sets of source changes. GitHub
confirms the PR can merge cleanly. The preflight helper rebuilt the
shared package and plugin SDK; Cargo is unavailable locally. Final CI
supplies Rust coverage.

- The latest master update changed the reviewed report-lock policy but
left the SDK lock hash at its previous value. The SDK source/evidence
checks reproduced the mismatch. This change sets only the SDK lock hash
to the authenticated output of the existing master policy and patch.
Compiler, parser and Zod pins stay unchanged. All 56 SDK
source/evidence/manifest tests now pass. All 84 focused
link/API/integration tests, UI typecheck and token gates also pass on
the updated source.

## Risks

- This cache is process-local. Separate server replicas can make
separate GitHub requests.
- A cached result can remain visible for its short lifetime after GitHub
changes. A later hover refreshes expired data.
- GitHub can report unknown mergeability. The UI shows conflicts only
when GitHub explicitly reports them.
- Personal preview data stays in viewer/company caches. It is not
written to company external-object records or persisted browser query
storage.
- Stories simulate the API. They do not prove a live GitHub login or
private-repository access.
- No schema migration is required.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6. The runtime does not expose the exact
serving model ID or context-window limit. Used reasoning, repository
inspection, source editing, shell execution and browser tools. No
subagents were used.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 42d4499489 fix(daytona): force a stuck stop before starting a retained sandbox (#20609)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - On Daytona, a follow-up task resumes the agent's retained sandbox
before the agent starts
> - The host stops an idle sandbox gracefully. A process that ignores
SIGTERM can leave Daytona in `stopping` for many minutes
> - Resume waited for that state change until its 300 s start deadline.
It never escalated, so each attempt failed after five minutes, and the
bounded retries did the same
> - On staging, a user comment waited about 21 minutes before the agent
started. Two resume attempts each used 299.7 s in the plugin dispatch
> - This pull request forces a stuck stop once, then starts the sandbox
within the same deadline. It also traces the wait with the observed
state
> - The benefit is that a stuck stop costs about 30 s instead of failing
the run, and the next case is diagnosable from the trace

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A user commented on a task that used a retained Daytona sandbox. The
first run and its first retry each failed after about 5 min 20 s with
`reusable_sandbox_resume_failed (cause=provider_error)`. The Honeycomb
trace shows `execution.plugin_dispatch` at 299.7 s in both. Inside it
there is only `lease.lookup` (44 ms) and `lease.channel_cleanup`, and no
`lease.start`. So the whole budget went to `waitOutSandboxTransition`,
which polled a sandbox that stayed in a transition state. The later
attempt, after a control-plane restart, found the sandbox `stopped`. Its
`lease.start` took 1.3 s. A transition that ends in `stopped` is a stop.

**Expected behavior**
A sandbox that stays `stopping` for longer than the host's own
graceful-stop budget is forced to stop, then starts. The run does not
fail on the start deadline.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Retain a Daytona sandbox whose graceful stop does not finish (Daytona
reports `stopping`).
2. Resume or realize the lease.
3. Before this change, the call polls until the 300 s deadline and fails
with "is still stopping at its start deadline".

## What Changed

- `packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona/src/plugin.ts`:
`waitOutSandboxTransition` tracks how long the sandbox stays `stopping`.
After `STUCK_STOPPING_FORCE_AFTER_MS` (30 s) it calls
`sandbox.stop(seconds, true)` once, then keeps polling. A refused force
stop keeps the old wait within the same deadline.
- The wait is a `lease.wait_transition` span. The force stop is a
`lease.force_stop` child span.
- `lease-tracing.ts`: the closed `paperclip.sandbox.startup.state` label
also records `starting`, `stopping`, `restoring`, `archiving` and
`resizing`. Before, these were all `other`.
- `server/src/services/plugin-host-services.ts`: the host admits the two
new span names and the new closed state values.
- `doc/observability.md`: documents the new spans and states.

## Verification

- Red/green: with the plugin change stashed, the three new
stuck-`stopping` tests (realize, refused force stop, resume) fail by
hanging to the deadline. With the change they pass. The "settles on its
own" test confirms that no force stop happens for a normal stop.
- `vitest run` in `packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona`: 14
files, 618 tests passed (8 skipped). `tsc --noEmit` passed.
- `server/src/__tests__/plugin-host-services-span.test.ts`: red before
the allowlist change, 25/25 after.
- `pnpm verify` exited 2 (the doc is a global CI input), so CI supplies
the broad coverage.
- Not verified on a live Daytona sandbox. Hosted acceptance needs the
change deployed to staging.

## Risks

- The force stop sends SIGKILL to processes in a sandbox that is already
stopping and is about to start. The disk persists across a stop, so the
retained workspace is kept. A graceful stop that is still running past
30 s is killed. The host's own graceful stop budget is 30 s, so the host
had already given up on it.
- Daytona can refuse a stop while a state change is in progress. Then
the code waits as before, so the result is no worse than today.
- The root cause is inferred from the trace (a transition that ends in
`stopped`). The new state label confirms or refutes it the next time it
happens.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 3bf7af6c77 perf(plugins): read the lifecycle inbox from per-resource cursors (#20576)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Plugins get agent, project and agent runtime changes from the
`resource_lifecycle_events` journal. Each plugin acknowledges events one
resource at a time.
> - #20405 made the inbox page read linear in the company journal size.
The journal has no retention, so each page still reads every event of
the company to find the unacknowledged ones: about 1.7 s per 1M events.
> - The delivery worker reads a page again after each acknowledgment.
The idle-sleep check also reads the whole journal when all events are
acknowledged. `acknowledge` checks every older event of the resource.
> - On a hosted instance, the page read ran 181 times in one window at
about 1 s each.
> - This pull request adds a per-plugin, per-resource cursor. Reads
start at the cursor, so they do not read acknowledged history again.
> - The benefit is that page, idle-check and acknowledgment cost follow
the number of resources and pending events, not the journal size.
Delivery order and results stay the same.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20405

**What happened?**
The plugin lifecycle inbox page query (`select ... from
"resource_lifecycle_events" ... DISTINCT ON ...`) ran 181 times at about
1 s each on a hosted database in one window. Each acknowledgment causes
another full read of the company journal. The idle-sleep check
(`hasPending`) reads the full journal when all events are acknowledged.
`acknowledge` reads the full history of the resource.

**Expected behavior**
A page read, the idle-sleep check and an acknowledgment must not read
acknowledged history again. Their cost must not grow with the journal
size.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Give a company 400 agents with 2,500 `agent_runtime` events each (1M
events).
2. Acknowledge the first 2,000 events of each agent for one plugin.
3. Call `pluginLifecycleInbox(db, pluginId).list(companyId, 100,
undefined, ["agent", "project", "agent_runtime"])`.
4. The read takes about 1.7 s. `hasPending` takes about 240 ms.

**Paperclip version or commit**
`8d2bf78323` (master).

**Deployment mode**
Hosted (PostgreSQL). Local repro uses embedded PostgreSQL 18.

## What Changed

- `packages/db/src/schema/plugin_lifecycle_resource_cursors.ts`: new
table `plugin_lifecycle_resource_cursors`. It has one row per plugin,
company, resource type and resource id. `acknowledged_through_id` means:
every event of that resource at or below this id is acknowledged by the
plugin. Plugin and company deletion cascade.
- Migration `0462_plugin_lifecycle_resource_cursors`: creates the table
and carries existing acknowledgments forward (see Risks for the
previous-release story).
- `server/src/services/plugin-lifecycle-inbox.ts`:
- `list` and `hasPending` use a backward loose index scan on
`resource_lifecycle_events_resource_order_idx`. It visits each resource
stream once and gets its latest event id. A stream whose latest event is
at or below its cursor is settled and is not read again. For other
streams, the read gets one head: the unacknowledged creation, else the
first unacknowledged transition above the cursor. Then it applies
`afterId`, id order and the limit, as before.
- `acknowledge` reads only the events between the cursor and the
acknowledged event. It still writes the per-event
`plugin_lifecycle_acknowledgments` row. It moves the cursor only over a
contiguous acknowledged prefix. A creation recorded after a pending
transition does not move the cursor.
- An event counts as acknowledged when it is at or below the cursor, or
when it has an acknowledgment row. Thus rows written by an earlier
release, and gaps in old history, keep their current behavior.
- `server/src/__tests__/resource-lifecycle-events.test.ts`: new database
tests for the migration carry-forward, gaps, late creations, cursor
reads, the rollback rows and the plugin-delete cascade. All tests from
#20405 still pass without change.
- `scripts/benchmark-plugin-lifecycle-inbox.ts`: runs the migration
backfill on the fixture and times it. Adds an acknowledgment case. Runs
`VACUUM ANALYZE`, because hosted tables are autovacuumed.
- `doc/DATABASE.md`: describes the cursor, its read cost and the
migration.
- The delivery worker (`plugin-lifecycle-delivery.ts`) is not changed.

## Verification

Thesis: the cost is a read of the whole company journal (page, idle
check) or the whole resource history (acknowledgment). If a per-resource
cursor marks the acknowledged prefix, each read can skip that prefix.
Then the cost follows the number of resource streams and pending events.
The rows must stay equal.

Local SQL timings: embedded PostgreSQL 18.1 on Apple Silicon, synthetic
data, warm cache, one warmup, 7 samples, baseline and treatment order
alternate per sample. The machine was shared with other jobs (load
average about 35), so spread is wide. Values are median (min to max) in
ms. Rows are equal (`assert.deepEqual`) for every list and probe case.

`project-instance-secrets.test.ts`: 86 passed.
`agent-runtime-hooks.test.ts`: 22 passed.
- `tsc --noEmit -p server`: pass. `check:migrations`: pass.

## Risks

- **Schema change.** Migration `0462` adds one table and two foreign
keys to `plugins` and `companies`. It adds no index on an existing
table. The backfill reads the acknowledgment table once. It took 4.6 s
to 15.6 s on 1M-event fixtures with 0.8M to 1M acknowledgments.
- **Migration order.** The number `0462` is reserved after open PRs that
use `0459` to `0461` (#20571, #20568, #20573). Merge this PR after them.
Before merge, rebase onto master and chain the snapshot after the latest
migration.
- **Previous-release story.**
- Upgrade: the backfill stores, per plugin and resource, the end of the
contiguous acknowledged prefix. A cursor never passes an unacknowledged
event, so no event is lost. Acknowledged events above a gap keep their
rows, so no event is delivered again. A test runs the migration
statement on rows that only an earlier release wrote and checks that
`list` returns the same rows before and after.
- Rolling deploy: an earlier release that still runs writes only
acknowledgment rows. The new reads honor those rows.
- Rollback: the new code still writes every acknowledgment row, so an
earlier release sees the same progress.
- **Ordering assumption.** The cursor is safe because writers record a
resource's events while they hold that resource's row lock
(`paperclip_record_agent_runtime` locks the agent row; agent status and
project writers document the lock). Thus a later commit for the same
resource always has a higher id. A writer that breaks this contract
could commit an event below the cursor, and that event would not be
delivered. A lower id from a different resource is still delivered
(existing test).
- **Slower path.** A page that asks only for `agent` and `project`
streams is 1 to 11 ms slower. These streams are short, so the old full
read was cheap, and the new read visits each stream once. The cost is
bounded by the number of resources.
- **Many resources.** The page cost grows with the number of resource
streams of the requested types. At 5,000 agents a page is about 77 ms,
compared with about 1.9 s before.
- The hosted planner can choose a different plan. The hosted improvement
is not yet measured.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 8e4c5e81b9 perf(issues): read created-from tasks by index and inbox review waits by page (#20573)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The task page shows "Created from this task". The inbox shows
blocked-inbox attention for a page of tasks.
> - On a hosted database, the created-from list ran about 4,000 times in
one afternoon at about 499 ms each. The task page sends it each time a
task opens.
> - Its filter was an `OR` of three provenance paths over the list's own
rows. PostgreSQL could not use an index for it. It read every task of
the company and tested each one, with the list's other per-row
conditions (such as the chat conversation state subquery).
> - The blocked-inbox attention map also read external review waits for
every in-review task of the company, not only for the tasks of the page.
> - This pull request reads created-from tasks from three index probes,
and reads review waits only for the in-review tasks that can change a
finding of the page.
> - The benefit is less database work on each task open and each inbox
page. The responses stay the same.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20400 (shares review-wait reads between the attention maps of one
request).
Refs #20551 (authorizes the review waits of a page with one read; this
change narrows the waits that the page asks for, and adds a test that
pins the batched read).
Refs #13241 (adds the created-from list).

**What happened**

- `GET /api/companies/:id/issues?createdFromIssueId=…` used
`createdFromIssueCondition`. Its filter was `origin_issue_id = source OR
(origin_issue_id IS NULL AND origin_run_id IN source runs) OR (… AND
EXISTS creation activity of a source run)`. The `OR` stops index use, so
the statement read every task of the company. The list's other
conditions, which include the chat conversation state subquery, ran for
each task before the task was excluded.
- `listIssueBlockedInboxAttentionMap` read review waits for every
in-review task of the company graph. The caller uses the findings of the
page rows only.

**Expected behavior**

The created-from list reads only the created tasks. The blocked-inbox
map reads review waits only for in-review tasks that the liveness
classifier can read for a page row. The rows, the order, and the
attention values do not change.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Use a company with tens of thousands of tasks, runs, and activity
rows.
2. Open a task page. Look at the created-from list statement: it reads
the full task set of the company.
3. Open an inbox page with blocked-inbox attention. Look at the
review-wait read: it gets the ID of every in-review task of the company.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/issue-creation-origin.ts`:
`createdFromIssueCondition` is now `issues.id <> source AND issues.id IN
(three branches)`. Each branch starts from an index:
  - recorded origin task: `issues_company_origin_issue_idx`;
- legacy origin run: the source task's runs
(`heartbeat_runs_company_origin_issue_idx`), then the new partial index
on `issues (company_id, origin_run_id)`;
- creation activity: `activity_log_run_id_idx` for the source runs, then
the task by primary key.
The precedence does not change: a recorded origin task wins, the run
path applies only without one, and the activity path applies only
without both. The activity path matches only an `entity_id` that is the
canonical text of the task ID, as before (it also compares `id::text =
entity_id`).
- `packages/db`: add `issues_company_legacy_origin_run_idx` on `issues
(company_id, origin_run_id) WHERE origin_issue_id IS NULL AND
origin_run_id IS NOT NULL`. Migration `0461` creates it with `CREATE
INDEX CONCURRENTLY IF NOT EXISTS` and is registered with the other
concurrent migrations. `doc/DATABASE.md` documents the index and the
benchmark command.
- `server/src/services/issues.ts`: add `blockedInboxReviewWaitIssueIds`.
It returns the in-review tasks in the blocker closure of the page rows.
The blocked-inbox map reads review waits only for these tasks. The
liveness classifier reads a wait only for a row or for a blocker that it
reaches from a row, and the caller reads only the findings of the rows.
The classifier does not change.
- Tests:
- `issue-created-from-routes.test.ts`: new cases for precedence in both
directions, a source-run comment, an activity row whose task has another
origin run, a non-canonical and a non-UUID activity entity ID, the
source's own creation activity, and other-company rows.
- `blocked-inbox-review-wait-scope.test.ts`: the narrowed set for
chains, cycles, shared blockers and off-page tasks. The rows get the
same findings with the narrowed waits as with the waits of every
in-review task, and each narrowed wait is needed.
- `issue-list-review-wait-authorization.integration.test.ts`: on real
PostgreSQL with two authorized waits, `listExternalReviewWaits` and one
issue-list request with blocked-inbox attention each send one bound-run
message-link statement. With the per-wait authorization from before
#20551, both tests fail (2 statements).
- `scripts/benchmark-created-from-issues.ts`: local benchmark. It loads
the baseline `issues.ts` and `issue-creation-origin.ts` from a pinned
commit, asserts identical complete row payloads, and reports alternating
timings and `EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, BUFFERS)`.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/issue-created-from-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/blocked-inbox-review-wait-scope.test.ts
src/__tests__/issue-list-review-wait-authorization.integration.test.ts
src/__tests__/agent-task-hierarchy-depth.test.ts
src/__tests__/issue-blocker-attention.test.ts
src/__tests__/issue-list-assignee-filter-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/issues-parent-id-alias.test.ts
src/__tests__/batched-chat-authorization.integration.test.ts
src/__tests__/issue-liveness.test.ts` passes (126 tests). One timing
test in `issue-list-assignee-filter-routes` failed one time under
machine load and passed on rerun.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` and `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/db check:migrations` pass.
- `pnpm verify` asks for broader verification because the change adds a
file under `scripts/`. Required CI supplies that coverage.
- Benchmark: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsx
../scripts/benchmark-created-from-issues.ts --baseline-ref=bd30ef8510`

Fixture (synthetic, local PostgreSQL 18.1): one company with 30,000
tasks (10,628 with a recorded origin task, 10,445 with only a legacy
origin run), 60,030 runs with wide context snapshots (145 MB), and
261,079 activity rows; a second company with 10,000 tasks and 20,000
runs. The busy source task has 63 created tasks through all three paths,
plus decoys. The quiet source task has 3. The UI's page: `sortField=id`,
`asc`, `limit=500`, routine executions included. Both versions return
identical complete payloads. 9 alternating pairs after 2 warm-up pairs:

| Case | List statement before | List statement after | List call
before, median (min to max) | List call after, median (min to max) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Busy source (63 tasks) | 234.9 ms, 47,437 buffers | 0.90 ms, 437
buffers | 156.0 ms (114.5 to 480.7) | 31.6 ms (19.9 to 62.7) |
| Quiet source (3 tasks) | 90.7 ms, 47,413 buffers | 0.25 ms, 46 buffers
| 126.1 ms (90.6 to 300.4) | 10.5 ms (7.2 to 26.1) |

The list call time includes the enrichment reads (labels, runs,
attention), which do not change.

Inbox page (50 open tasks, blocked-inbox attention): the review-wait
read goes from 2 statements with 1,215 parameters (every in-review task
of the company) to 1 statement with 31 parameters. The page time does
not change in this fixture (median 801 ms before, 873 ms after, both
with a wide spread), because the fixture has no review waits and the
other graph reads of the map are most of the time. With real waits, the
server does an inherited GitHub review read for each wait it finds, so
the gain grows with the number of off-page waits.

Migration timing (local PostgreSQL 18.1): `0461` (measured as the same
statement under its earlier number) on 500,000 tasks (846 MB, 20
companies, one third with a legacy origin run) takes 1.6 s. The index is
12 MB.

## Risks

- The new index adds a small write cost to tasks with only an origin
run. New tasks with a source task record `origin_issue_id`, so the index
holds mostly older tasks. The migration does not lock writes.
- The created-from rewrite must keep the same rows. The new tests and
the benchmark payload check cover precedence, company scope, and ID text
forms. Visibility and read filters are the list's other conditions and
do not change.
- The review-wait narrowing depends on the liveness classifier reading
waits only for rows and their blocker chains. A unit test compares the
findings of the rows with full and narrowed waits. A future classifier
change that reads waits of other tasks must update
`blockedInboxReviewWaitIssueIds`. The function comment says this.
- The local timings are synthetic. Hosted acceptance needs a fresh
query-statistics window after deployment.

DottaandPaperclip 12f70d0d4c Keep Slack form custody and receipt transfer durable (#19825)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages work for AI-agent companies.
> - Chat connections deliver provider messages and user answers.
> - Slack requires a response within its original three-second deadline.
> - Forms and their delivery receipts must survive retries and tenant
restarts.
> - This change uses the existing connector queue and durable form
owners.
> - Current authorization, exact receipt checks and normal ACK rules
stay in force.
> - The tenant can settle useful work while keeping the connection
enabled.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19019 and #19348. Companion Cloud PR:
paperclipai/paperclip-cloud#1250.

## What Changed

- Preserve form grants, sessions, encrypted evidence, terminal receipts
and company-authorized Retry.
- Check initial form enrollment before the provider send. Keep a typed
preparation wait only while an exact current enrollment obligation
exists.
- Refund the attempt only when the claimed attempt and credential lease
still match and provider invocation has not started. Possible or
accepted sends retain uncertain-delivery custody. An ordinary error with
the same text still uses the normal five-attempt limit.
- Notify the existing publication worker when normal enrollment commits.
Reconstruct pending work from durable state after a lost reply or owner
restart.
- Page settled history before proving idle safety. Keep unfinished,
malformed and foreign receipts visible beyond the first 1,000 rows.
- Keep Slack callback, answer, receipt and ACK rules in their provider
owners. Support body-bound Cloud idle capabilities when a complete
catalog exceeds the header budget.
- Add focused regression coverage, an enabled quiet/reactivation recipe
and explicit fixture port checks.
- Keep SDK evidence tests tied to a normally built reviewed reference,
with a separate strict refusal for actual unreviewed CI outputs.

## Verification

App head: `6284d6881b5dc38a9ee149bcbde35e69a67dd8ca`, including actual
master `dff8bed007e01c32f3826144b893ec80603d1335`. Companion Cloud head:
`f83b38187dc7e6b2e219fe865dc16d268cc66fdb`, including actual Cloud
master `b1dcc3421a91efffee631a61536cf48f357c22fc`. Cloud #1250 is merged
at `1d07d81f23d4627ab7b6dcf49176b4128a2f8f9b` after exact-head passing
checks and complete Greptile 5/5. Current exact-head CI typecheck,
build, tests and aggregate verification are green; the complete edited
Greptile review is 5/5 and all 13 review threads and nested comment
pages are resolved.

- Both latest enrollment findings were reproduced against the preceding
product. The pure readiness control returned no wait for the first
enrollment. The real-PostgreSQL control observed a provider call while
that enrollment was still staged.
- The repaired source passes three whole files: 21 readiness controls,
80 real-PostgreSQL milestone controls and 37 tenant-actor middleware
controls. All 138 pass with zero excluded or TODO cases. The SQL case
reconstructs the worker through seven waits, preserves the attempt
budget, recovers a controlled lost enrollment reply, and commits one
provider-port call and one exact grant. Replaying the selected attempt
does not duplicate them. Authorization, SDK and enrollment-response
ports are controlled in that SQL case.
- The same files cover ordinary five-attempt exhaustion, accepted and
possible sends, stale ownership, malformed bindings, attention states
and current actor restrictions. One synthetic mismatched-binding
parameter uses generation 2 against current generation 1; it is not
evidence for an older-generation control.
- The normal server-package typecheck passes at the measured source. It
runs the normal Runner TypeScript, protocol, SDK and declaration
prerequisites and all seven main App programs. The separate declaration
configuration is also recorded. A worker union-narrowing error was
found, fixed with an explicit callable/null branch, and verified by that
normal compiler. No cast or test relaxation was used.
- The normal merge of current master preserves all 78 owned paths and
15,783 unrelated master entries and modes. The three measured test files
and their changed feature paths are unchanged. New upstream DB code adds
only the normal nonunique concurrent native-session index and its
migration classification. Shared and adapter-utils changes alter
unrelated prompt or denial wording. The 138-case proof carries for those
unchanged behaviors; it is not reported as a rerun after the merge. The
normal Shared/SDK ensure, DB build, adapter-utils build and complete
server-package check also pass at the current merged head. Their fresh
inventory contains 8,143 outputs; canonical SQL and journal copies
match. This build did not apply the new index migration.
- Earlier real-PostgreSQL retained-history coverage reproduced the
missing proof with 1,005 settled rows. Its repair retains the existing
two-second/64-query inspection budget, current endpoint bound and exact
owner snapshot. The 46 source-bound controls cover unfinished and
invalid tails, exact cross-page action references, Retry, rollback and
lost receipt responses.
- Earlier enabled quiet/reactivation coverage produced ordinary useful
work, kept configuration enabled, accepted fresh signed work plus a
duplicate, and produced exactly one second useful reply. Its two
App-worker windows lasted at least 30 seconds with zero measured PG
writes, connection or outbound activity after settlement. That evidence
stays tied to its measured revision. A missing worker EXIT marker limits
that earlier proof; parent evidence does not replace it.
- Earlier three-second callback, terminal ACK, current-question race and
complete body-size controls remain source-bound. The
500-owner/1,000-binding body measured 313,875 bytes with a 618-byte JWT;
signature tampering failed closed.
- Final managed-provider acceptance now passes all five fresh Node
boots: A/A, A/AB, B/A rejection, B/AB recovery, B/B final. Two
independently configured, challenged, verified, linked and enrolled
Slack identities exercise ACK and retirement debt separately. Normal
provider factory/materialization delivers the configuration through a
controlled external stack-provider boundary. The registered opening
returns HTTP 200 in 21 ms within the original 3-second deadline. Two
answers persist, normal ACK is accepted, exact retirement and lost
acceptance/GC replies recover, and the original canonical snapshot
remains unchanged without duplicate provider sends or submissions.
- The separate complete committed-preflight case passes. A committed
`update_attempted` response is lost before SDK entry; normal
service-owner reconstruction after the original lease/deadline recovers
the same useful update and one answer without a second trigger. This
reconstructs service owners within one App process; the separate five
fresh Node boots cover process restart and managed signing-key rotation.
- Assertion-time PG socket reports balance 15 opens/15 closes across the
five boots and 5/5 in preflight, peak 2 and zero live sockets or
unexpected attempts. Worker terminal EXIT markers were missing and are
not replaced by parent EXIT markers. These are domain/recovery and
assertion-time connection proofs, not a new whole-worker terminal quiet
measurement. All known owners/groups closed; independent SQL audits were
empty; only successful fixture databases were removed. Earlier failed
fixture databases/logs remain retained. No product guard, deadline or
assertion was weakened. Exact runtime source and normal outputs are
unchanged by the three test files in the current follow-up, so these
source-bound proofs carry without repeating those journeys.
- The preceding App CI ran 11,312 support cases: 11,289 passed, three
SDK-evidence cases failed, and 20 external cases skipped. Normal CI
dependency setup resolved six stale Slack patch-hash references and
produced an unreviewed lock. The public SDK proof correctly refused that
lock; the tests incorrectly assumed the CI output was a reviewed
reference. The three-file test repair keeps the protected lock policy,
source/compiler/parser/Zod pins, scanner and redaction rules unchanged.
It builds an owned reviewed reference using the existing normal
Shared/SDK producers for the positive seal test, while a separate
negative requires actual unreviewed-build privacy refusal and no
retained SDK bytes. It does not relabel the CI build as certified or
admit a new lock hash.
- All four whole SDK support files pass locally: public type 30,
evidence 16, public-input synchronizer 8 and lock preparation 10,
totaling 64 with zero excluded/TODO cases in 28.73 seconds. The genuine
fresh reference build/positive seal and separate invalidated-reference
privacy refusal passed within their original 120-second bounds. Original
installed dependencies, SDK outputs/cache and runtime source stayed
unchanged; normal global setup produced only its own Runner JavaScript
outputs. PostgreSQL was denied throughout, all four worker markers were
observed, and the owned process group/private test root closed. The
local canonical-lock negative mutates only its own reference; fresh
remote CI also passes the actual resolved-CI-lock branch: all 16
evidence and 30 public-type tests pass, including the genuine
reviewed-reference positive and the strict actual-unreviewed-build
refusal. The upstream synchronizer file runs its current 10 cases in CI.
- The first complete CI attempt on this head also exposed two separate
30-second timeouts: one real reporter-artifact test and the
`agent-test-environment` module-loading hook. Full original logs remain
preserved. Their exact test, sanitizer and evidence source blobs are
unchanged from the preceding head; inspection found no deterministic
setup cause. After the original run finished, one retry of only the
failed jobs passed on the same synthetic merge
`168851e210671ebe97e7a778e8cf891807e80502`: Runner support reports
11,304 passes and 20 external skips; serialized shard 6 reports all 395
passes, including all 67 route bodies. No source, timeout or assertion
changed. This proves recovery; the original causes remain unexplained.
- The final pre-merge tree audit uses actual master
`17136a6c25ef6cb7c816a29140a4c48c2c75fb31` (refreshed after the earlier
`85dec046` audit). The expected normal squash preserves all 81 owned
paths and 15,816 unrelated master entries and modes. Only OpenAPI has
edits from both sides, and its complete content composition preserves
the new project route and token help alongside this PR's API entries.
The shared inbound selection changes preserve the same candidate set;
new concurrent indexes, Native/workspace behavior and shutdown changes
remain upstream behavior. The scoped form proof uses process agents and
does not qualify the new Native/sandbox branches. The latest
question-schema change still accepts the explicit version-1 payload
exercised here. The last master delta also changes managed AI/Native
credential refresh and writeback; those branches are outside the
measured process-agent form paths. Existing 8,143 local outputs remain
tied to their measured revision; no new whole-tree output equality or
deployed suspension is claimed.
- Reproduce the public path with
`doc/testing/slack-cloud-qualification.md`, the companion Cloud
checkout, Node 24/22 and fresh owned fixture databases. Aggregate local
`pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm test:run` and `pnpm build` were not rerun as
one command set. Current exact-head required CI and the complete
Greptile 5/5 review now pass; the full edited summaries and all
paginated threads were read.

Local worker quiet does not prove deployed host or Neon suspension.
Photon and Discord remain separate work; this PR completes the described
Slack slice.

## Risks

Use compatible App and Cloud readers before transferring custody.
Signatures prove authenticity; current authorization and exact ownership
still control execution. Preserve old targets, secrets and terminal
facts until their normal owners release them. Keep the managed seal
identity stable while custody remains. The required Slack adapter patch
remains pinned. Upstream's concurrent index uses the normal top-level
migration path.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` implemented and tested the changes. A GPT-6-based
Codex managing agent reviewed and integrated them. The host does not
expose the managing agent's exact model ID or context-window sizes. The
agents used code execution and test tools.
