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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

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

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `47027e7ba5`.

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19206

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

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 2ce5f03cd8 fix(workspaces): name remote restore failures and leave a board recovery action (#19207)
## Thinking Path

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

**Paperclip version or commit**

Base: `87dfba6818`.

**Deployment mode**

Legacy runtime with sandbox (Daytona) remote workspace storage.

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 a994a648f1 fix(workspaces): name copy-back failures on the run and end failed save operations (#19187)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A native run in a Daytona sandbox saves its workspace after the
provider turn. This save is "copy-back".
> - On staging, about 20 runs kept a saved result, but copy-back failed
three times. The issues became blocked with
`native_workspace_sync_out_retry_exhausted`.
> - #19152 added a redacted cause for a sandbox command that exits with
an error. Three gaps stayed open: a provider that refuses the command
still gives a bare code, the run does not show the cause, and the failed
save operation stays "running".
> - The first failure also had the wrong name. The runner kept the
result but did not prove a durable suspension. The executor reports this
as `native_session_lease_lost`, and the workspace operation shows only
that text.
> - This pull request names each of these failures with closed, redacted
labels. It also ends a failed save operation as "failed".
> - The benefit is that operators can see why copy-back failed and which
save is still active. Retries and saved results do not change.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19152, #19145. These are the earlier copy-back diagnostics and
retry-scheduling repairs. This PR does not duplicate them.

**What happened?**
A native task ran in a Daytona sandbox and its result was accepted. The
run then failed with `native_workspace_sync_out_retry_exhausted`. The
run had no error text. The automatic copy-back retries each failed in
under one second, with only `workspace_sync_out_failed`. The final
`remote_workspace_snapshot` operation stayed "running" after the retries
stopped. The first `workspace_finalize` operation showed only
`native_session_lease_lost`. The run log showed that the runner shutdown
timed out before durable suspension. The lease was not lost.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a native task in a Daytona sandbox until its result is accepted.
2. Make the sandbox provider refuse the copy-back command (for example,
a lease that is no longer active), so that no exit status comes back.
3. Let the automatic retries stop. Then read the run and its workspace
operations.

**Expected behavior**
The run, the coordinator, and the failed operations name a redacted
cause. The failed save operation is "failed" with a finish time.

**Actual behavior**
The run has no cause. The save operation stays "running". A provider
refusal keeps only the bare `workspace_sync_out_failed` code.

## What Changed

- `remote-workspace-transport.ts`: the provider can throw instead of
returning an exit status for the copy-back helper, the capture, or the
archive download. `remoteWorkspaceFailureCause` then returns
`remote_workspace_operation_failed: operation=<op> transport=<label>[
code=<ERRNO>]`. The label is from a closed list (for example
`sandbox_lease_inactive`, `permission_denied`, `sandbox_not_running`,
`transport_timeout`, `transport_closed`, `daytona_sandbox_not_found`,
`provider_error`). Provider text is never copied into the cause. The
thrown error does not change, so preparation errors,
`classifyNativeWorkspaceFailure`, and other callers keep their
contracts. Archive-safety and Git-metadata refusals get no label,
because they have their own diagnostics.
- `remote-workspaces.ts`: when the last active invocation of a save
fails, the save operation becomes "failed" with `exitCode`,
`finishedAt`, a redacted `stderrExcerpt`, and `metadata.lastFailure`. A
retry of the same boundary sets it to "running" again. A success sets it
to "succeeded". After the final save commits, a failed save is retired
for export cleanup in the same way as a running save.
- `remote-workspace-snapshot-retention.ts`: a failed save that is not
retired keeps its snapshot pinned, as it did while it was "running". Its
retry can still use an uploaded snapshot.
- `native-run-finalizer.ts` and `native-workspace-finalizer.ts`: the
redacted cause of each copy-back attempt goes to the coordinator
`failureDetail.failureCause` and the run `resultJson.failureCause`. When
retries stop, the run error adds `Last cause: <cause>`. The server
checks the cause against a fixed grammar again before it writes it. A
cause with a path or other text is dropped.
- `native-post-result-failure.ts` (new), `native-session-executor.ts`,
`runtime-execution.ts`: a failure after an accepted result gets the
label `runner_settlement_incomplete` when the runner did not prove a
durable suspension. The failed `workspace_finalize` operation records
this closed diagnostic as `failureDiagnostic`. The coordinator records
it as `native_post_result_failure: category=<label>`. The control code
`native_session_lease_lost` and its fencing do not change.

## Verification

- Red, before the fix (the new tests run against `master` source):
- 4 provider-refusal cases and the archive download failure: no redacted
cause was available, so the copy-back recorded only the bare code.
- Failed save, with only the transport fix applied: `- "status":
"failed"` / `+ "status": "running"`.
- Run cause after retries stop: `expected null to be
'remote_workspace_operation_failed: …'`.
- Green, after the fix:
`cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/remote-workspace-transport.test.ts
src/services/remote-workspace-save-concurrency.test.ts
src/__tests__/native-workspace-finalization-work.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-post-result-failure.test.ts
src/services/remote-workspaces.integration.test.ts
src/services/remote-workspace-snapshot-retention.test.ts` passes.
- Safety cases:
- The failed save is retried on the same boundary operation, records
"succeeded", and keeps the saved file bytes.
- `daytona_sandbox_not_found` is still classified as
`workspace_sync_out_unrecoverable`.
  - An archive-safety refusal keeps its exact text.
  - A forged cause with a path never reaches the run or the coordinator.
- A run-level timeout cause (`remote_workspace_operation_timed_out:
capture (configured timeout 300000ms)`) reaches the run and the
coordinator.
- `heartbeat-native-remote-failure-retention.test.ts` passes: a
preparation failure keeps its exact run error.
- The existing integration tests for retired saves, poisoned
reservations, duplicate invocations, and snapshot retention pass. They
prove export cleanup and identity protection.
- `tsc --noEmit` for `server` reports no errors.
- Not done: a live Daytona copy-back. This PR adds diagnostics and
corrects the operation state. It does not change when a retry runs.

## Risks

- Thrown copy-back errors do not change. Only the recorded cause is new.
The `daytona_sandbox_not_found` and archive-safety classifications are
tested.
- A failed save operation is now "failed" before the final save commits.
Retirement, export cleanup, and snapshot pinning now also select these
failed rows. They select only rows with `lastFailure` and no retirement
receipt.
- Privacy: each new cause is a closed label or a server-built code. The
server checks it again with an anchored grammar before it writes the
run. No sandbox output, path, or message text is stored.
- The retry count, the retry delay, and the classification of each
failure do not change. No provider turn is added.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18691

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip de9f263454 fix(workspaces): prevent preservation lock cycles (#18918)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Remote workspaces save files before a later task turn can use them.
> - Admission, preparation and preservation share task, run and
workspace rows.
> - Snapshot inserts also lock their foreign-key parents.
> - Different acquisition orders could form a PostgreSQL deadlock and
delay saved-file recovery.
> - This pull request orders those runtime parents and refuses busy
legacy publication owners.
> - Files and ownership evidence remain available without replaying
provider work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Snapshot reservation and publication could hold a workspace while
waiting for a task or run. Other workspace owners could hold that parent
while waiting for the workspace. Review also found reverse preparation,
provisioning and legacy-import paths. Real PostgreSQL owner-pair tests
reproduce `40P01`.

**Expected behavior**

Concurrent owners must complete or retain their normal ownership
refusal. A lock cycle must not interrupt file preservation.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Prepare a remote workspace with retained files in disposable
PostgreSQL.
2. Schedule actual save and reserve, preserve, prepare or provision
functions on opposing rows.
3. Release the scheduling barrier.
4. Unfixed source deadlocks. Fixed source saves the files or returns its
normal ownership hold.

The tests also schedule an actual legacy import beside an arriving
reservation and a stale native status commit.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The original three save regressions fail on unchanged master
`ce7766dc11c4515190d48d395f26a90bba900f8a`. Reverse preparation,
provisioning and imported no-op controls fail on published `2d13b3f`.
The additional import-publication and native-status owner pairs also
have causal PostgreSQL RED/GREEN proof.

**Deployment mode**

Source checkout with PostgreSQL and real filesystem commands. Snapshot
encryption and reload use local object storage. No hosted storage, live
model or original-task recovery claim.

Related: Refs #18908, whose preservation acceptance exposed this
separate fault. This repair has no code dependency on that PR. Refs
#17846 for separate legacy terminalization locks. Refs #18746 for the
documented admission order. Repository search found no existing repair
for this owner graph.

## What Changed

- Lock company, current task and run before the runtime workspace.
Recheck the run binding and pin save-operation attribution.
- Apply that order to reserve, prepare, provision and both save
transactions. New shared-workspace provisioning receipts use the current
task.
- Lock import source parents before reservation and publication. Recheck
the source binding and retain the publication fingerprint.
- Use full-strength `NOWAIT` locks for legacy coordinator, run and
allocation rows. Only PostgreSQL `55P03` becomes
`remote_workspace_migration_blocked:execution_rows_busy`. The
publication transaction rolls back. Other errors propagate.
- Preserve writer, epoch, snapshot, foreign-key, Stop and owner checks.
Keep command, capture and upload I/O outside row-lock transactions.
- Add actual-owner concurrency, unknown-effect, eventual retry and
rollback controls. Document each owning transaction and its foreign-key
edges.

## Verification

- Node 24.22.2 and pnpm 9.15.4: all 107 save-concurrency,
migration-concurrency and migration tests pass.
- All 81 enabled disposable-PostgreSQL integration and lifecycle
controls pass on the final head. Both opt-in database variables point to
a dedicated local test database; no skipped case is counted as
qualification.
- Actual preparation/provision/import no-op peers reproduce three
deadlocks on the prior source. The fixed owners preserve and reload
files. The real provisioning command runs once; a lost response remains
an unknown effect and is never replayed.
- Actual legacy publication versus reserve and stale native status
commit also reproduce deadlocks before repair. Busy run/lease controls
preserve the journal, archive and files, then finish from the same
journal after release.
- A real publication constraint failure rolls back earlier coordinator,
profile and snapshot writes. Its original database error propagates.
- Immutable same-company and foreign-task guards, writer/epoch loss and
uploaded-object retention pass. Four real shared/inherited reuse cases
fail old receipt attribution and pass current-task attribution.
- The original spontaneous issue-foreign-key failure did not retain its
peer statement. These controlled owner pairs prove supported defects;
they do not identify that historical peer.
- Commands: `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/services/remote-workspace-save-concurrency.test.ts
server/src/services/remote-workspace-migration-concurrency.test.ts
server/src/services/remote-workspace-migration.test.ts`. Enable the
separate lifecycle suites only with their documented disposable test
database variables.
- Full recursive typecheck and `pnpm build` pass on production commit
`dacf6278abd3257c407a297c6db8872e76d85f61`, using Node 24.22.2 and pnpm
9.15.4. Current head `4c1d7769e6cfa9536a67c4e3b536cef155f19966` changes
only the canonical PostgreSQL host-support guards. All 18 changed
concurrency cases executed and passed with zero skips; their server
test-layer typecheck passes. All 57 current-head check contexts are
terminal and clean: 53 passed, two skipped and two neutral. Required `ci
/ verify` and `ci / e2e` pass. Greptile and Paperclip both reviewed
exact current head at 5/5 with no actionable findings. There are no open
review threads.
- Composition with #18908 includes this exact parent history. Its
production-composed head passed 724 affected tests, all 81 enabled
integration/lifecycle controls, recursive typecheck and build on Node
24. Its final test-only guard head passed the 18 changed concurrency
cases and their test-layer typecheck. This is local
server/PostgreSQL/native-backend-boundary evidence, not a hosted model
or storage claim.
- The required broad local Vitest attempt stopped at an unchanged chat
publication-batch test with `socket hang up`. The earlier CI workspace
shard timed out in the unchanged CLI chunked-ZIP test. Both failures
remain recorded; neither is reported as a pass or hidden by timeout
changes. The chat case passes one bounded focused head/base control, so
the original full-suite socket failure was not reproduced by that
control.

## Risks

- Short transactions take parent-row locks earlier. Competing writers
can wait for those transactions.
- Administrative import now refuses a busy native owner. It retains its
journal and archive for a later explicit retry.
- Native owners have different lock orders. The import's nonblocking
requests avoid a new global native lock policy.
- Missing bindings and uncertain command effects remain holds. The
repair does not infer termination, release an executor or replay
external work.
- No schema, foreign-key or timeout change.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The exact serving model build and context
window are not exposed in this agent session. The agent used reasoning,
terminal tools, code edits, PostgreSQL and filesystem tests. A separate
Codex agent reviewed the production ownership graph.

DottaandPaperclip 84aa989bf9 Preserve native sessions through legacy workspace enrollment (#18943)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A native session retains its workspace and provider session across
turns.
> - An ephemeral web server must restore those files without its
predecessor's disk.
> - Legacy enrollment changes the workspace authority and can change
both workspace addresses.
> - The retained provider backup checks those addresses as part of its
identity.
> - This pull request preserves the exact addresses in a verified
migration receipt.
> - The benefit is that the next turn can use the original session after
enrollment.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18932, merged as `612d9931a6`. This pull request builds on that
all-Runner durability change. Related: #18918 fixes concurrent workspace
preservation locks. This change covers identity preservation during
offline enrollment.

## What Changed

- The native workspace migration owner records the selected session
bindings in the successful workspace migration operation.
- Runtime selection retains the original logical address only for the
exact agent, task and session.
- Remote workspace preparation restores the original provider address.
It refuses conflicting targets, forged receipts and occupied unowned
roots.
- The environment owner includes the migration operation in the reusable
lease fingerprint. Warm policy stays warm and receives a fresh
allocation through normal lease cleanup.
- Exact migration evidence permits the existing verified provider backup
to restore into that fresh warm allocation.
- Preserve verified provider allocation files through a normalized,
lease-bound digest receipt. Unknown files and altered markers remain
refused; interrupted publication is retryable.
- Retain legacy managed-instruction session fingerprints using the exact
imported content hash and recorded paths, preserving all other
configuration and credential checks.
- Migrate existing local skill archive/manifest objects through upload
claims, readback verification and receipt compare-and-swap; retain
original objects and IDs.
- Add explicit two-turn browser qualification for every released native
Daytona profile, with warm and per-turn variants. The production
maintenance entry runs offline. The old home is deleted only after a
verified export and successor readiness. The oracle checks provider
identity, native session, addresses, reference bytes, question and final
document.

## Verification

- Full repository typecheck passed at `b12ecd823e`. The production
session fix passed 198 session/credential tests. Full repository build
passed at `94bb917947`. The final Rust-only provider fix passed 57 ACPX
provider tests and the exact Linux release build.
- Workspace and transport checks passed: 117 transport/workspace tests,
six final real PostgreSQL migration boundary cases, 178 environment
tests, 539 Daytona tests (eight skips), and the native warm-backup
admission control.
- Local skill migration passed eight PostgreSQL/S3 tests (one existing
opt-in skip). Failed readback retains the source. Successful readback
still works after deletion of the old home.
- Latest Product E2E typecheck and 38 focused harness tests pass.
Earlier catalog/admission/report checks passed. Twelve unrelated
support-test failures reproduce on unchanged base `1a39dea9aa`; these
are not reported as passing.
- Live Codex per-turn at `2d5bb9a6d1` retained the native and provider
sessions, both workspace paths and exact reference bytes after deletion
of the old home. It completed the task and delivered its saved document
and original reference. Its original failure was an output-count grading
defect. The corrected grader passes all 21 checks against retained,
hashed evidence; the original result remains unchanged.
- Live OpenCode per-turn and Codex warm at harness `94bb917947` pass all
21 product checks. Their launcher cleanup failed because a read-only
diagnostic observer kept its disposable database open. The observer now
closes before ordinary database cleanup; a no-provider reproduction
confirms the fix. All owned sandboxes were independently verified
absent, child keys revoked and buckets removed. Original failed campaign
dispositions remain unchanged.
- Claude at `94bb917947` kept its sessions and reference bytes but
omitted the final clickable document link. That user-delivery failure
remains recorded. The fixture now explicitly asks for the link and
records migration evidence before checking navigation. The fresh Claude
attempt at `b12ecd823e` passed both strict migration checks: exact
provider/native session, both paths, original file bytes and
independently downloaded attachment. Its full browser workflow failed
again: it requested unnecessary confirmation, used the answer sentence
as the reference, and omitted the clickable document link. This is
retained as a failed user-workflow result, not a full pass.
- Earlier live failures exposed and reproduced the skill-object,
fresh-allocation marker and managed-instruction fingerprint bugs. The
fixes retain original identity checks. No provider session reset or
accounting bypass was used.
- The real Grok continuation at `b12ecd823e` failed before provider
execution because its immutable-instruction attach policy rejected
relocated registered file copies. A no-provider regression reproduced
the exact rejection. `b05ba3728a` selects the existing strict
authenticated asset-path policy for Grok; content digests, unknown
context fields, session/workspace identity and same-run mutations remain
enforced. The regression and all 57 ACPX provider controls pass. The
Grok browser migration now passes all 21 checks with the b05 Linux
Runner, including provider identity, exact reference bytes and final
user output; the launcher also reports successful cleanup.
- `24fabf1d81` applies the same policy to released ACPX Codex after a
second no-provider reproduction. All 58 ACPX provider controls and the
final Linux release build pass. Its live browser migration passes all 21
checks on the final binary, including exact original session/file
preservation and completed user output.
- The full native-session executor suite passes all 1,121 tests after
updating its existing lease database fixture for the migration-receipt
join. The prior CI failure was this unsupported test-double method; the
production guard still rejects ordinary unproven recovery. CI and
Greptile 5/5 passed at `ca1e0d5fe6`. The first CI attempt lost several
workers and had one rotated-recovery transport failure; its seven
descriptor cases passed locally, and the single unchanged retry passed.
The original failure remains recorded. Staging enrollment has not
started. Initial offline enrollment and subsequent rolling availability
are separate checks.

- The final review follow-up adds real runtime-selection PostgreSQL
cases for exact, different-session and absent receipts, plus
executor-level warm restoration that copies actual backup files and
verifies provider identity and the new lease stamp. Both complete
affected suites pass (1,172 tests), and full repository typecheck
passes. Removing either production migration connection independently
makes its new positive case fail; both source files were restored
byte-for-byte after these negative controls.

- Final commit `0971d373a3` passes all 63 checks (57 successes, five
expected skips, one neutral); Greptile is 5/5 and every review thread is
resolved.

## Risks

- An identity conflict blocks enrollment and keeps the original files.
It does not silently reset the session.
- A new migration generation retires a reusable lease through its
existing owner. The original sandbox must finish normal cleanup before
reuse proceeds.
- Initial enrollment has an offline step. The separate rolling suites
prove uninterrupted deploy behavior after enrollment.
- This adds no schema migration and changes no provider credentials or
accounting gate.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The exact serving model build and context
window are not exposed in this session. The agent used reasoning,
terminal tools, code edits, PostgreSQL/filesystem tests and isolated
live browser qualification.

DottaandPaperclip 612d9931a6 Support per-turn Runner sessions on ephemeral web servers (#18932)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The web server controls native Runner sessions in remote sandboxes.
> - An ephemeral web server must recover without its previous local
filesystem.
> - The existing admission rule accepts warm sessions. Managed Claude,
Grok, and OpenCode sessions resolve to per-turn execution.
> - Per-turn execution also needs durable provider-session bytes after
the sandbox is retired.
> - This pull request adds encrypted backup publication and removes the
warm-only admission rule.
> - Both lifecycle modes can use the existing native ownership and
checkpoint contracts during a web deployment.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #18518, #18529, #18826, #18835, #18841, #18864, #18887.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Native Runner execution on web servers with
`PAPERCLIP_EPHEMERAL_SERVER=true`.

**Current behavior**

The admission rule requires a warm Runner lifecycle. Managed provider
credentials can resolve an agent to per-turn execution, so enabling the
ephemeral deployment profile blocks those turns. A database controller
checkpoint does not preserve provider files after the old web home and
per-turn sandbox are removed.

**Proposed behavior**

Admit native execution in either resolved lifecycle. Keep provider and
credential choices unchanged. Publish encrypted provider state to shared
storage before sandbox cleanup. Restore it from a fresh web home for the
next turn. Use the existing controller lease and generation checks for
active takeover.

**Reason and benefit**

Operators can remove the web server volume without excluding per-turn
providers or forcing managed accounts into warm sessions. New native
Daytona profiles automatically enter both rolling-deployment
qualification lanes.

**Breaking changes**

The additive migration creates a backup publication ledger. Existing
volume-backed local-disk installations retain their local backup path.
S3 installations publish encrypted backups and require a stable secrets
master key. Existing-volume enrollment must import surviving session
data before detaching the volume.

## What Changed

- Admit native Runner execution independently of its warm or per-turn
lifecycle. Keep host-owned legacy execution excluded from ephemeral
deployments.
- Store private provider state as encrypted objects. Journal uploads
before I/O, read them back, and fence publication against the current
native owner. Keep the previous published backup when storage or
ownership checks fail.
- Restore exact provider bytes into a private cache. Require an exact
durable backup before sandbox cleanup. Extend the existing bounded
retention pass to retire stored objects without adding idle polling.
- Import selected legacy controller and provider state in the existing
offline maintenance process. Preserve queued work, task pointers,
pending recovery, and original files. Prefer canonical database
checkpoints.
- Preserve already-failed legacy controllers with missing original
artifact proof as encrypted archives. These archives do not become
execution authority. Successful retained sessions still require proof.
Report archival and executable imports separately.
- Verify unmanaged Grok API keys through the existing xAI account
validator. The live test exposed a readiness gap that kept remote Grok
agents paused after platform checks. Preserve failed credentials and the
separate runtime warning.
- Ingest Grok whole-prompt usage at the owning ACP boundary. Bind the
receipt to the exact outbound request/session; reject replay, conflicts,
and incomplete authority. Separate turn cost from cumulative session
cost in the sidecar schema and Rust normalization. Preserve managed
billing identity and identify direct xAI API credentials.
- Preserve published workspace directory names across cold allocations,
including destroyed-allocation cleanup. Keep unpublished epoch/lease
directories isolated and refuse to overwrite an occupied preparation.
This fixes the cold-session identity regression exposed by #18922.
- Increase bounded checkpoint-header inspection to 1 MiB. Retain the
aggregate inspection limit.
- Register all nine native Daytona profiles in per-turn and warm
rolling-deployment suites. Delete the entire departing server home,
exercise ordinary reads and writes, require active ownership transfer,
then check a later turn on another fresh server. Permit only exact
notification replay after reconnect.

Ownership stays with the existing modules: Runner validates its protocol
state; Core validates run scope and controller ownership; storage owns
object I/O; the maintenance process owns offline conversion; the E2E
wrapper owns process replacement and probes. No provider protocol is
added to the shared admission rule. Grok receipt parsing stays in its
provider module. The shared sidecar gains an explicit cost basis because
its existing price field means session-cumulative spend, while Grok
reports prompt totals. Existing consumers retain cumulative behavior
when the new field is absent.

## Verification

- Focused native admission, archive validation, publication fencing,
cleanup, readiness, legacy import, and E2E observer tests pass. Real
PostgreSQL cases verify that queued intent and historical recovery rows
stay unchanged.
- Full typecheck and build pass on the rebased branch. The review
follow-up passes server typecheck, 29 focused
PostgreSQL/archive/readiness tests, and module-boundary checks. Revision
fb8d39a7a1 reached 55 successful CI checks and Greptile 5/5 with no
unresolved threads. The Grok follow-up passes Runner/server typechecks,
238 ACP runtime/projection/usage tests, 16 sidecar-schema tests, the
Rust cost regression, and Core billing regression. The e9aae9cf revision
passed all 57 successful checks, with 5 skips and 2 neutral checks, and
exact-head Greptile 5/5. The latest 9cbec30a4f follow-up changes only
E2E catalog/admission controls; its 291 affected tests pass, all 57
check contexts succeeded (5 skips, 2 neutral), and exact-head Greptile
is 5/5 with no open review threads.
- Migration numbering and safety checks pass.
- A local real PostgreSQL/S3 roundtrip preserved 2,870,101,591 payload
bytes across 89,100 archive entries after deleting the source directory.
Restored SHA-256 matched; upload/readback took 56.5 seconds, restore
74.8 seconds, process peak RSS was 1.40 GB, and all fixture resources
were removed.
- Archives preserve contained relative links, reject link
chains/traversal, and enforce independent byte/entry/object limits.
Offline verification streams hashes. Orphaned deleted-run backups stay
on the original volume. Obsolete object retention preserves the selected
backup, live lease references, and pending uploads with owners.
- Isolated API-key Codex deployment: original active runner/session
transferred to the replacement and committed. All 567 reads, 57 writes,
and 57 readbacks succeeded. A second replacement completed a
same-session continuation with all 287 reads and 29 writes succeeding.
The strict cell failed two agent-authored shell commands; this result is
retained as failed.
- Isolated API-key Claude deployment: original active runner/session
transferred and committed. All 584 reads, 59 writes, and 59 readbacks
succeeded. A second replacement completed a same-provider-session
continuation, with 211 reads and 22 writes succeeding. The strict cell
failed an initial completion call that omitted a registered attachment
citation; the agent corrected it. This result is retained as failed.
- Isolated API-key OpenCode deployment: the same active runner/session
transferred and committed. All 481 reads, 49 writes, and 49 readbacks
succeeded. A second replacement retained the provider session and
completed useful work, with 156 reads and 16 writes succeeding. The
strict cell failed agent tool calls: a denied external-directory write,
malformed artifact hashes, and a second completion after the first
result was committed. There was one submitted/completed turn and one
committed result; reconnect notification replay was identical. This
result is retained as failed.
- Grok's real first turn now completes with settled usage and provider
cost ($0.41397); the next turn is admitted normally. That attempt then
exposed a shared workspace-path identity regression before deployment.
Three cold-restore cases reproduced it before the fix; 106
workspace/transport tests and four focused cold-restore cases pass
afterward, including destroyed allocation and occupied-directory
preservation. Server typecheck and build pass. At b5b0dbb03f both
controller switches passed the read/write probe without failure, and the
active runner retained its process while the controller generation
advanced. The third turn exposed an invalid reasoning-token subset
check; ad07e681ba fixes it with the actual receipt regression. Two later
live attempts failed with an upstream Grok rate limit before deployment.
A tiny preflight prompt succeeded before the second attempt, but the
full workload was still rate-limited. The final live gate remains
incomplete. No accounting or identity guard was bypassed. Earlier failed
attempts and their exact resource-cleanup receipts remain recorded.
- Earlier Codex/Claude/OpenCode receipts predate #18922; they establish
their tested revisions. Current-head live qualification remains pending;
#18943 separately preserves pre-enrollment logical/provider workspace
addresses and adds actual legacy migration proof. Its first Codex
migration attempt stopped safely at skill-version verification.
- Earlier attempts remain recorded: missing local provider-pack setup
blocked one Claude launch, and the observer rejected identical reconnect
replay in another. Setup and the observer were corrected before the
latest run.
- Named staging enrollment has not started. Its serving revision and
post-deployment journeys remain separate delivery gates.

- Broader E2E harness validation exposed deployment-catalog and
installed-lane coverage drift; the affected 291 controls now pass.
Twelve other failures reproduce on unchanged base 1a39dea9aa. They
concern cleanup call expectations, dated operating-overhead fixtures, a
Pi profile-version expectation and workflow-security expectations. No
baseline failure is reported as passing.

## Risks

- Provider archives can contain credentials. Objects use authenticated
encryption with scoped associated data and a wrapped data key. The
original stable master key remains required.
- Storage failure prevents publication and sandbox cleanup. Operators
must keep shared storage available and preserve the previous volume
during enrollment.
- Legacy state without verified identity cannot become executable
recovery authority. Archival preserves evidence and existing failures;
it does not recover already-lost provider files or clear blocked tasks.
- Local overlap probes establish the tested application behavior. They
do not establish Railway routing behavior or live managed-subscription
qualification.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, tool use, code execution,
and live integration tests. The exact runtime variant and context-window
size are not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 4a83ba4050 fix(workspaces): isolate unpublished preparation directories (#18922)
Bind new remote preparation directories to the writer epoch and environment lease. Preserve earlier unpublished files and the recorded path for published warm workspaces. Run the interrupted reused-allocation and saved-file lifecycle regressions with owned Postgres by default, and retain the warm-path recovery checks.

DottaandPaperclip 0ab3ce7a03 fix(workspaces): preserve legacy recovery across storage migration (#18841)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages durable tasks and agent work through the control
plane.
> - An ephemeral web server needs existing workspace files in shared
storage.
> - Failed historical runs can still own recoverable sandbox files or
unfinished coordinator state.
> - Moving local files must preserve those obligations without replaying
the old agent turn.
> - Migration journals the exact source and fences old copyback; the
recovery owner saves verified sandbox files separately.
> - New user input can continue only after matching preservation
receipts and independent execution-stop checks.
> - Accepted results retain their finalization owner and must have its
durable workspace receipt before storage moves.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Builds on merged #18826 and #18835.

**What happened?**

Existing workspaces with failed native copyback could not migrate to
remote storage. Simply changing their storage authority would let later
recovery target a retired local directory, lose child-task attachments,
or leave a recovered task unable to accept a new turn.

**Expected behavior**

Preserve local files, exact sandbox provenance, task bindings,
checkpoints, and unresolved history. Recover surviving sandbox files
into immutable task-scoped attachments after migration, and let a new
authorized user turn use those files without replaying the old
execution.

**Steps to reproduce**

Create a terminal native run with a prepared copyback descriptor and a
retained sandbox. Migrate its local workspace, remove the old host
filesystem, recover the sandbox, and submit a new user turn. Also
exercise a child task reusing its ancestor's workspace and an expired
observed coordinator.

## What Changed

- Journal exact legacy run, task, descriptor, and unfinished coordinator
bindings during offline migration. Descriptor-free runs retain the
complete declared lease/allocation/directory identities; publication
locks and revalidates them.
- Publish a run-scoped fence that prevents automatic restart or copyback
into the retired local authority.
- Release only the exact journaled expired coordinator lease under the
offline deployment fence and locked revalidation, recording the prior
owner in recovery history. Preserve phase, checkpoint, result, and run
status.
- Save recovered sandbox files through the existing immutable snapshot
owner, retaining allocation and provider-stop checks.
- Attach recovered files using the current task's identity when a child
reuses an ancestor workspace.
- Accept matching migration and snapshot receipts for workspace-repair
admission and explicit new-user continuation. Changed coordinator
bindings and invalid receipts remain blocked.
- Require the finalizer's successful workspace_finalize operation before
moving a workspace whose accepted result has finalized copyback; the
existing owner can then finish assessment/status effects.
- Document unresolved workspace-policy, task-ownership, and
missing-provenance cases as separate owner actions that block
detachment.

## Verification

- 569 tests across migration, retained recovery, and explicit
continuation passed on ffcde13f57.
- The final saved-result follow-up passes all 75 migration tests. Four
receipt cases cover prepared copyback, a successful finalization
receipt, a missing receipt, and a failed receipt. The successful case
invokes the actual finalizer after migration and completes the existing
saved operation.
- Five real-file journeys cover a retained host, removed host,
child-task reuse, an expired observed coordinator, and a descriptor-free
run with two separate sandbox allocations. They recover sandbox files,
clear the repair blocker, admit an explicit /new user comment, reserve a
new remote workspace, and verify recovered attachment contents.
- Negative cases reject changed coordinator phase/owner, invalid
migration fences, changed source sets and allocations, mismatched
task/allocation/action receipts, malformed archives, and unfinished
snapshot operations. Descriptor-free continuation requires every
journaled source; one missing archive keeps the hold.
- Twelve PostgreSQL/S3 and maintenance-service tests pass on the exact
final rebuilt runtime, including a plain-Node bundled process,
authenticated original-key export, overlapping task-folder restore, and
complete predecessor filesystem removal. The final server and runtime
bundle builds also pass.
- Head 9ab6a38fa4 passed all 573
migration/recovery/continuation tests, server typecheck, server build,
runtime bundle, and 12 PostgreSQL/S3/bundled-maintenance tests.
- Verification caught an expired-owner continuation rejection (160
recovery cases passed, one failed); the admission fix and subsequent
569-test run passed. Earlier fixture failures and the parent PR's
unrelated full-suite failure remain documented in their verification
history.
- Greptile and Paperclip Review both scored final head
fa58d4a5ce 5/5, with no remaining
findings.
- CI exposed 15 blocker-read projection regressions: descriptor-free
checks performed an extra full run read for ordinary unmigrated tasks.
The follow-up gates the lookup on the migration marker, includes that
marker in the bounded blocker projection, and selects only recovery
fields. All 31 blocker-projection and real-file journey cases plus
server typecheck pass. Final-head CI passed all 52 successful checks,
including repository typecheck, build, server tests, and browser suites.
- Preserved CI failure: the unchanged Runner package had one Cursor
Cloud Stop/checkpoint timing failure (4,903 cases passed). All four
focused local cases passed. Retrying only the failed job and its
verification gate passed without source changes.
- This PR does not claim tenant enrollment or a hosted rolling-deploy
result.

## Risks

Cloud must stop every predecessor deployment before enabling the offline
migration contract. Migration preserves uncertain work; it does not
certify provider termination, invent a completed result, or authorize
sandbox deletion. Missing or ambiguous sources remain held. Preserved
attachments are separate files rather than an automatic merge into newer
task edits. Parallel shared-write policy, stale task ownership, missing
task provenance, and accepted results without a successful finalization
receipt remain enrollment blockers. Original folders and the original
volume remain retained.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository tools, and code
execution. This session does not expose a more specific serving model ID
or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 0a1e4c3d0f fix(workspaces): retry pristine remote setup timeouts (#18852)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A remote task needs a workspace before its model can start.
> - Fresh workspace preparation can reach its transport deadline.
> - Failure handling records that timeout as a generic setup failure and
stops the task.
> - An unpublished workspace has no saved task work to repeat.
> - This change routes that narrow failure through the existing bounded
retry scheduler.
> - Saved work, retained executions, and normal admission gates keep
their existing protection.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18827, which preserves remote timeout diagnostics. This change
builds on that merged repair. Related #16727 concerns controller-managed
clones and optional partial clones; this change keeps remote clone
contents and deadlines unchanged.

**What happened?**

A fresh remote workspace reached its 300-second command limit before
model execution. The task then stopped with `setup_failed` and no
scheduled continuation. A separate full clone completed in 137 seconds
on a disposable Daytona sandbox. The original delay remains unexplained.
This change repairs the missing recovery path; it does not claim to
remove the underlying delay.

**Expected behavior**

A fresh, unpublished workspace preparation timeout can use the existing
two automatic retries. Retry scheduling remains durable and company
scoped. Stop, pause, dependencies, budgets, task ownership, saved work,
and retained native execution must still prevent unsafe work.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start preparation for a fresh remote workspace with no saved version
or published allocation.
2. Make its initial directory/clone command return a transport timeout.
3. Observe that the base code records a generic setup failure without
bounded recovery.
4. With this change, the owner validates current workspace authority and
preserves a specific bootstrap failure for the normal retry scheduler.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Base: `e0276e0166`, including #18827.

**Deployment mode**

Native Paperclip Runner with sandbox workspace storage. Verification
uses real PostgreSQL, filesystem commands, and a separate live Daytona
transport probe.

## What Changed

- Recognize only the initial preparation timeout while the same company,
writer, and epoch still own a pristine workspace.
- Keep restore, additional repository, provisioning, save, changed
ownership, dirty workspace, and retained native execution failures
outside this recovery policy.
- Persist the typed failure before using the existing retry scheduler,
admission gates, and attempt budget.
- After successful terminal lease cleanup, reclaim an unpublished
bootstrap-only reservation even when a provider returns no stop receipt.
Preserve receipt requirements for saved/published work, unknown
execution, and native identities; do not synthesize termination
evidence.
- Prevent generic recovery from granting another budget after
exhaustion. Keep a specific recovery notice.
- Add regressions for persistence, concurrent scheduling, restart,
exhaustion, Stop, pause, dependencies, fresh allocation, lost replies,
and saved output after cold restoration.
- Document the recovery contract.

## Verification

- Red: the real-PostgreSQL workspace regression first failed because the
timeout had no recovery classification. The completion regression then
failed because it became `setup_failed`. A retained-native negative
failed before the admission guard. The review follow-up reproduced a
failed successor reservation after production lease release returned
void.
- Green: all 127 transport/archive/real-PostgreSQL workspace cases pass
after the review repair. All 12 receipt/void handoff cases pass against
the final query. The 141 complete completion/retry/recovery cases and
the fresh-allocation selection case pass. Safety cases cover concurrent
scheduling across restart, the two-attempt cap, Stop/pause/dependency
gates, native identities, saved/published files, active leases, failed
cleanup, and cold-restored output.
- `node scripts/typecheck-low-memory.mjs` and `pnpm build` pass at
`ba96cff771707415e4a5e893c8b3a97499ead25b`. `git diff --check` and the
module-boundary check pass. The full local test wrapper completed all
1,835 chat cases across six partitions, then was interrupted during its
serial general-server phase after the complete current-head CI suite
passed. Its interrupted run is not a full local-suite pass; its log is
retained. The owned process tree and database children exited.
- The [complete GitHub Actions
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41718108375)
is successful at this exact head, including all server/workspace/chat
partitions, all nine serialized groups, all eight browser shards, build,
typecheck, native Runner, package, Rust, and release-policy checks. The
first Rust worker shut down during cache restore before tests; one retry
passed without source changes. Expected Storybook skips remain skips.
- Earlier failures remain accounted for: the first typecheck found two
incomplete process-result fixtures, now corrected. An intermediate
completion run exposed a test double that returned no promise and a
teardown timeout; the complete 141-case suites subsequently passed. The
first-head CI had four worker shutdowns and one worker communication
loss. A three-second monitor settlement wait failed in CI and locally,
then all 21 cases passed unchanged at base and head. An earlier CI retry
found a real-process history adoption assertion failure; that exact case
passed locally at base and head. Both server groups pass in final-head
CI. These timing causes remain unknown. [Earlier CI
evidence](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41713712522).
- Live supporting evidence: unchanged production preparation code
completed a full repository clone in 137 seconds using Daytona SDK
0.203.0, Node 24.22.2, Git 2.39.5, and Linux x86_64, with 1 CPU, 1 GiB
memory, and 1 GiB disk. The approved diagnostic account could not access
the original fleet snapshot, so the probe used public
`node:24-bookworm`. Both probe allocations were deleted and absence
verified. Full task acceptance at the fixed revision remains unverified:
the original fleet snapshot and an explicitly configured disposable
Codex subscription fixture were unavailable. No CLI login or hosted
subscription was copied.
- Greptile is 5/5 at the final head with no actionable findings. The
Paperclip review finding is repaired, replied to, and resolved. The
separate **Paperclip Review** check remains queued. Its task failed
workspace export after publishing the first assessment; the staging
service was then observed showing a workspace recovery page after an
update failure. Subsequent browser rechecks timed out, including a fresh
tab, so the normal recovery control could not be used. Reconcile that
existing export after service access returns, then let the saved
current-head review request run. That external review is the remaining
check; this PR is not yet fully green.
- The original hosted task was last verified blocked. This PR has not
been deployed and the task has not been retried by this work.

Reviewers can run `pnpm test:run`, `node
scripts/typecheck-low-memory.mjs`, and `pnpm build`. The
remote-workspace integration suite additionally needs an owned
disposable PostgreSQL database named `remote_workspace_*test` through
`PAPERCLIP_REMOTE_WORKSPACE_TEST_DATABASE_URL`; otherwise that suite is
skipped.

## Risks

Each retry keeps the existing preparation deadline, so persistent slow
clones can consume the bounded budget before intervention. A retry
receives fresh allocation admission; it does not replay the command
against the old allocation. The workspace owner checks persisted
authority before classifying the failure, and normal admission still
rechecks that authority. Historical generic setup failures do not gain
automatic replay. No database migration, provider-pack update, model
fallback, credential change, or deployment is included.

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and browser tools. The host does not expose a more specific

DottaandPaperclip e0276e0166 fix(workspaces): identify remote command timeouts (#18827)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Remote workspaces prepare repositories and save files through
sandbox commands.
> - Each command has a timeout and a known operation.
> - The transport discarded that information when a command timed out.
> - A failed clone then appeared as the same generic error as other
failures.
> - This pull request keeps the operation and timeout in a fixed
diagnostic.
> - Operators can identify the failed stage without exposing command
output.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A remote workspace setup command reached its 300-second transport limit
before provider work started. The workspace layer reported only
`remote_workspace_operation_failed`. That message concealed the timeout
and the affected operation. A later full clone on the same sandbox image
passed in 107 seconds, so the original clone delay remains unexplained.
This PR repairs the loss of diagnostic information. It does not claim to
prevent the underlying delay.

**Expected behavior**

A transport timeout must remain a failure. Its diagnostic must identify
the operation and configured limit. It must exclude raw output and must
not automatically repeat a command whose remote outcome is unknown.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Return `timedOut: true` from the sandbox command boundary during
workspace preparation or cleanup.
2. Observe that the base implementation reports only
`remote_workspace_operation_failed`.
3. Apply this change. Preparation reports
`remote_workspace_operation_timed_out: prepare (configured timeout
300000ms)`. Cleanup retains its separate 10-second limit.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The regression was reproduced on master base
`367f29478d14003cc5c0f161b7ce8f3164993634`. The fixed current head is
`be45ce6594254bd6b94023a550d8b655dd704bb0`.

**Deployment mode**

Hosted Paperclip with native Runner and Daytona sandbox execution. Local
acceptance also uses disposable PostgreSQL and filesystem commands.

Related work: #18403 introduced remote workspace authority. #18705 added
a fixed full-disk diagnostic. I searched recent clone and
remote-workspace PRs and found no duplicate timeout-reporting repair.
This is a defect fix and does not add a roadmap feature.

## What Changed

- Give each internal workspace command a closed operation name: prepare,
repository, archive helper, capture, restore, or cleanup.
- Preserve that operation and the configured limit in a typed error when
the transport reports a timeout. Do not claim a measured elapsed time.
- Keep other failure diagnostics and exact safe-message checks
unchanged.
- Preserve typed cleanup timeouts in the operation cleanup journal while
retaining generic diagnostics for untrusted errors.
- Add preparation, cleanup, and real-PostgreSQL lifecycle regressions.
Document the timeout and the need to reconcile saved receipts before
recovery.

## Verification

- Red: both transport regressions failed on the base implementation. A
separate real-PostgreSQL cleanup regression reproduced the review
finding: the operation journal replaced a typed timeout with a generic
error.
- Green: all 62 remote transport and archive tests and all 50
real-PostgreSQL workspace lifecycle cases passed. The lifecycle suite
ran with an explicit disposable database; it was not skipped. Command:
`pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/server
server/src/services/remote-workspace-transport.test.ts
server/src/services/remote-workspace-snapshot-archive.test.ts`.
- Safety: a timeout with exit code zero still fails. Raw stdout and
stderr stay out of the error. A timeout cannot claim the fixed
unfinished-Git diagnostic. No command retry occurs. Existing saved files
remain unchanged. Existing archive, restore, receipt, symlink,
credential-isolation, and full-disk controls pass. The cleanup lifecycle
cases retain the acknowledged snapshot, preserve working files, avoid
duplicate uploads, record only a safe typed timeout, and settle cleanup
on the next normal reconciliation. An untrusted error that mimics the
timeout prefix stays generic.
- Live acceptance: production transport code ran against actual Daytona
SDK 0.203.0 timeouts on the incident image, with 4 CPUs, 8 GiB RAM, and
a 10 GiB disk. A controlled one-second SDK limit produced the generic
baseline error and the fixed exact preparation timeout. The current
`be45ce6594` code was rechecked for both preparation and cleanup. Each
returned the typed error and its own configured limit (300 seconds and
10 seconds) while the controlled SDK fault remained one second. Each
case made one command call. Each disposable sandbox was deleted before
the next case.
- The first live-probe attempt used an incorrect error-name check. It
failed its acceptance check and remains recorded. The probe was
corrected to use the same SDK timeout base class as production. Its
first sandbox was deleted. This was a probe setup failure, not red
evidence for the repair.
- A separate same-image probe ran the real full repository preparation
successfully in 107 seconds. The affected command path is unchanged
except for error reporting. The original task was retried once through
the product on deployed source
`adb49a44346849e751548b2fb640693dbfad4b6f`. The requested memo and its
first document revision persisted after reload and matched the
downloaded attachment. The run succeeded, the task reached Done, its
execution lock cleared, and final workspace save and result commit
succeeded. The diagnostic PR is not deployed.
- Recursive typecheck and build passed on `be45ce6594`. `git diff
--check` passed. The first full-suite attempt stopped before tests
because the offline install had skipped an embedded PostgreSQL native
postinstall. The package's official symlink hydration fixed `initdb`.
- The next Mac run passed 350 chat cases and hit one unchanged 15-second
chat deadline. That case then passed in isolation, and all six full chat
shards passed. The broader Mac matrix was later stopped as partial when
CI results became available. No full single-command Mac pass is claimed.
- Full Vitest file coverage uses the exact successful CI merge tree,
`d264fd98e7fb6eff4a9e6b00d402f88894cc0e57`. Its canonical inventory has
2,899 files. Passing CI covered 2,057 files. The remaining 842 ran
locally through the standard exact-file harness. The inventory and
selection checks show no unassigned files. All four changed source/test
files are byte-identical between the PR head and that merge tree.
- The first remaining-file run passed 771 files. The database group
passed 68 files and reported four deadline/readiness failures in three
unchanged files. Those same three files passed all 12 cases when run
sequentially on Node 24.22.2, matching CI's major version. Assertions,
readiness limits, and test deadlines did not change. The first attempt
used Node 26.4.0 with a parallel UI workload; this does not isolate the
contribution of runtime version versus load. Both attempts remain
recorded.
- [GitHub
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41699549115)
is green on current head `be45ce6594`: `ci / verify`, typecheck, build,
all selected server/chat/workspace groups, Runner checks, and all eight
browser shards passed. Greptile is 5/5 with no open threads. The prior
P2 was resolved by removing new code comments.
- Structured Paperclip review remains queued because its own previous
accepted result exhausted workspace export recovery. A fresh
current-head request is saved, but normal Retry returns HTTP 409
(`accepted_result_without_new_input`). Its advisory cleanup finding is
fixed in `be45ce6594` and covered by red/green lifecycle evidence. This
check is informational. The branch requires `ci / verify` and `ci /
e2e`, and both pass. The independent review-service limitation remains
recorded; this PR is not deployed.

## Risks

Timeout error text changes. Consumers that compare the old generic
message may need to accept the new diagnostic. No such production
comparison was found in this repository. API shapes, deadlines, retries,
ownership, credentials, and model selection do not change. A timeout
still does not prove that the remote process stopped or that a save
failed before publication. Existing recovery must reconcile that state.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, code execution, and browser
tools. The host does not expose a more specific model ID or
context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip f7ad1dc7ca fix(workspaces): make attached project repositories writable (#18770)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people assign work to AI agents and inspect the
result.
> - A task can use repositories from more than one project.
> - Remote workspace preparation treated every additional project as a
read-only source.
> - This rejected valid Git repositories before the provider started,
even when no source was read-only.
> - The task page then hid the preparation reason behind a generic
failed-attempt notice.
> - This pull request prepares authorized repositories as writable task
copies and shows redacted workspace validation errors.
> - People can work across both projects and see the reason if folder
preparation fails.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A remote task with a selected Git-backed project and another mentioned
Git-backed project failed before provider execution. It reported
`remote_workspace_readonly_sources_unsupported`. Neither project had a
read-only setting. The task notice showed only that the attempt failed.

**Expected behavior**

Each attached repository should be writable inside the task workspace.
This should preserve source access checks and saved work. A workspace
validation failure should explain its cause on the task page.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Configure remote workspace storage and a native sandbox environment.
2. Select a Git-backed project for a task.
3. Mention another authorized Git-backed project in the task.
4. Start the task. Preparation rejects the additional source before it
starts the provider.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced against `dc9f387edc`, before this change.

**Deployment mode**

Managed remote workspace storage. Local regression checks use disposable
PostgreSQL and independent filesystem processes.

Related merged work: Refs #18403 and #18504. Those changes established
remote storage and metadata-only references. They still reject
configured cross-project repositories. No duplicate writable-repository
repair was found. Refs #18774 for the test-only retention-fixture repair
reused to unblock CI.

## What Changed

- Add every configured Git repository of an authorized referenced
project to `.paperclip-repositories/` as an editable task copy.
- Retain saved paths, refs, pins and files. Recheck retained project
access and source trust. Keep explicit read-only, local-source import
and remote feature gates.
- Keep committed snapshot repository coverage separate from later
requests. Honor configured default refs, resolve remote branch names,
and publish secondary checkouts only after checkout succeeds. Share
configured-ref resolution between root and attached-repository scripts.
- Include redacted workspace validation messages in the task
interruption projection and existing failure notice. Preserve Retry
permissions and render messages as plain text. Explain retained-folder
access and trust denials while preserving the dedicated low-trust
project-access path.
- Add source, authorization, redaction, UI and save/restore regressions.
Update the implementation contract and workspace maps.
- Reuse the reviewed test-only repair from #18774. Batch the
shared-workspace history fixture, verify its complete privacy-source
map, and drain owned test bodies before cleanup. Production retention
behavior is unchanged.

## Verification

- Red before repair: four source-resolution cases failed with the
reported read-only error. The task-error projection test also failed
because it omitted the cause.
- Green: 49 source and transport tests, 16 task projection and redaction
tests, and 10 UI tests. The assembled preparation check passes. All 48
remote workspace lifecycle tests pass. The full preparation suite passed
all 126 assertions but its cleanup hook exceeded 30 seconds. The
unchanged base reproduces the same cleanup timeout with all 126
assertions passing. The focused preparation check finishes cleanly.
- The real PostgreSQL/Git lifecycle checks cover both first-turn and
later project attachments. They verify the configured release branch,
saved edits, replacement allocations, unchanged source folders,
committed archive contents, and released writers.
- Review regressions were red before repair: the default ref became
null, later attachment failed during restore, non-default remote branch
checkout failed, and invalid secondary refs left partial checkouts. They
now pass.
- The local browser shows the workspace validation explanation and Retry
action. The fixture uses a saved failed run; this proves the error
display, not a successful live sandbox run.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass. Map, module-boundary and
token checks pass.
- A local two-turn acceptance probe repeated at `17ed67eaa7` used real
Codex CLI 0.165.0, `gpt-6-astra`, and `xhigh` effort. Codex wrote files
in both task repositories. The services saved them, removed the first
allocation and its Git sources, restored another allocation, and Codex
read the saved files and wrote a follow-up in both folders. This uses
the real source resolver and persistence services with a local
command-runner stand-in for sandbox transport. It does not qualify
Daytona, managed subscription forwarding, or the original task. The
first probe waited for stdin; closing the test harness pipe fixed that
setup error before provider work.
- `pnpm test:run` passed the first chat shard, then failed one chat
response concurrency assertion in the second shard. That case passes in
isolation on this head. The same isolated chat case passes on the
unchanged base. Both corresponding unchanged-base chat shards also pass
(351 and 324 tests). The cause of the earlier wider-suite chat failure
is not established. The preparation cleanup timeout and chat failure
remain part of this record.
- CI at `17ed67eaa7`: all other verification jobs passed. Browser shard
6 initially reported a request callback from the preceding test after
teardown; its single unchanged-code retry passed. Server shard 10 timed
out the 2,100-row retention confirmation fixture at 15 seconds on both
attempts. That exact case passes locally, but the repeated CI failure
required a repair. Its setup repeatedly rebuilt a shared-workspace
privacy map. The logs and failures remain part of this record.
- Reused the test-only repair from #18774 without changing its source
file. At `ab774e9418`, all 54 retention tests and all 25 ordinary
production privacy tests pass locally (79 total). Full CI
[41650626903](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41650626903)
passed on that commit, and its exact-head Greptile review was 5/5. The
fixture preserves its 2,100 rows, query-bound assertions, privacy-source
map, and completed-history test deadlines.
- The additional review identified retained-source access/trust denials
that still bypassed the workspace explanation. Real-resolver regressions
reproduced both plain-403 failures before the correction. Both now yield
a safe workspace validation explanation, while the dedicated low-trust
denial and saved workspace remain unchanged. The optional duplicate
ref-resolution block is also consolidated.
- Final review corrections: 65 source, transport and error-projection
tests passed, followed by all 48 lifecycle cases against an owned
disposable PostgreSQL database (113 total). The initial combined command
skipped the explicitly gated lifecycle suite; the subsequent dedicated
invocation enabled and passed all 48. Full workspace typecheck and build
pass. The first standalone lifecycle launcher lacked the repository
TypeScript loader; rerunning with that loader resolved its import setup
error. At previous head `7be02ea09c4ac76df560e8b517050cdf398f33f0`, full
CI [41654422329, attempt
2](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41654422329/attempts/2)
passed, Greptile is 5/5 on that exact head, and all review threads are
resolved. The first attempt timed out the unchanged voice-session
report/history case at 15 seconds; 3,027 cases in its shard passed. That
exact case passed locally, then its single unchanged-code shard retry
passed. The wider-suite timeout cause remains unproven. The completed
Paperclip advisory check is neutral; its earlier findings are corrected.
No staging deployment or original-task recovery is claimed.

- Master advanced while checks ran, producing conflicts in two adjacent
test additions. Merged `27d35314be` into this branch as
`d5c8d552939c86056abf8fe10833881b2ade41a4`, preserving both
workspace-error tests and the audited Stop/receipt tests. Kept workspace
maps to minimal corrections under the updated map rule. All 82 source,
transport and interruption cases, all 48 real-database save/restore
lifecycle cases, full typecheck, build, and map checks pass locally on
the combined code. Current-head [CI
41660719214](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41660719214)
and Greptile are pending; the earlier verified head has not been merged.

## Risks

- Additional remote project repositories are now editable task copies.
Shared source folders and upstream push permissions do not change.
- Snapshot coverage uses existing workspace metadata. Older workspaces
capture their previous inventory at reservation; successful save
publication advances coverage and snapshot identity in one transaction.
No SQL migration is needed.
- A retained copy can contain files from a project that is no longer
mentioned. Preparation rechecks that project's current access and trust
policy before reuse.
- Explicit read-only descriptors still fail. Source-less projects remain
metadata-only. Local folders still require import. No migration or
provider-pack update is needed.
- Error display reads only workspace validation errors. The existing
run-secret registry and username censor run before display truncation. A
redaction failure omits the explanation.
- The retained fixture repair pauses its row trigger only within the
isolated seed transaction, rebuilds the exact source map, and restores
the trigger before commit. A rollback regression and 25 ordinary privacy
cases pass. Its paged-case test budget honors the existing bounded inner
waits; production deadlines are unchanged.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, tool use and code execution.
The exact serving model ID and context-window size are not exposed by
this session. The test-only fixture changes are reused from #18774,
whose model record identifies OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol. The optional live
acceptance probe uses `gpt-6-astra` with `xhigh` effort through Codex
CLI 0.165.0.

DottaandPaperclip 40ea7a9b89 fix(heartbeat): wait for inherited remote workspace writers (#18691)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - A child task can inherit its parent's remote workspace.
> - The remote workspace permits one writer until that writer saves its
files.
> - Reservation reports an active writer as a generic setup failure.
> - The existing shared workspace wait does not cover inherited isolated
workspaces or a race at reservation.
> - This pull request sends verified active writer contention through
the existing scheduled retry path.
> - The child keeps a live execution path while unfinished files remain
protected.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A native sandbox task inherited an isolated remote workspace from its
running parent. Setup failed with `The workspace still has an unfinished
writer or save operation.` The child became blocked before provider
execution and had no scheduled continuation after the parent saved.

**Expected behavior**

The child waits for the active writer through the existing workspace
retry path. It keeps its workspace binding. A stale writer or a stopped
writer with unfinished saves still requires reconciliation.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a native sandbox task with remote workspace storage.
2. Create a child that inherits its isolated workspace or operator
branch while the parent is still writing.
3. Start the child. On the old code, atomic reservation raises a generic
setup failure.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Observed on `410b0e27015495ab8951768b5b0b94727de33785`. Regression
reproduced on source based on
`554a770c6f8e48e327e19f5208b575a5ec5bce30`.

**Deployment mode**

Authenticated managed server, external PostgreSQL, native Codex with a
Daytona sandbox. The failed attempt stopped before runtime selection or
provider startup.

Related: #18611 permits inherited remote bindings. #16371 adds waits for
reused shared execution workspaces. This repair handles active writer
contention at atomic remote reservation. #17156 proposes a separate
change to task workspace inheritance.

## What Changed

- Return a typed conflict with the exact active writer from the remote
reservation owner. Keep company, binding, access, and writer checks in
that transaction.
- Translate a recent running writer into the existing heartbeat
workspace wait. Keep stale, unknown, stopped, dirty, and uncertain save
fences. The writer task lookup uses its primary key.
- Preserve the admitted assignee role across preparation so reassignment
cannot turn an old owner into a guest retry.
- Add PostgreSQL regressions for isolated workspaces, operator branches,
native writer identity, unchanged saved authority, admission after save,
durable retry, Stop, and reassignment before contention reaches the wait
handler.
- Update the development guide and workspace verification recipes.

## Verification

- Red: both inherited isolated/operator preparation cases fail on the
old code. They receive `HttpError(remote_workspace_writer_pending)`
instead of a workspace wait. No provider or allocation starts.
- Green: those same cases pass after the repair. The assembled public
heartbeat cases also pass: one scheduled retry owns the task lock, no
sandbox lease is created, the original writer and saved authority remain
unchanged, and Stop prevents retry promotion.
- Ownership race red/green: changing the assignee during preparation
produced `wasIssueAssignee: false` before the review fix. The same
regression now preserves its original role. A real transaction fault
boundary also reassigns the task after reservation rejects it and before
the wait handler runs; promotion cancels that retry with
`issue_reassigned`.
- Test isolation: an initial combined placement cached the synthetic S3
run-log backend and failed twelve later preparation cases. The assembled
native tests now have their own process. The ordered reproduction and
all four complete affected suites pass after that change: 171 tests,
zero skipped.
- Four additional saved-file lifecycle cases pass against disposable
Docker PostgreSQL 17 with independent filesystem execution and local
object storage. They restore inherited shared, isolated, and
operator-branch files on a new allocation and retain the second-writer
fence. The other 42 cases in that file were outside the selection.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, `node scripts/check-maps.mjs`, and
`git diff --check` pass on the final source.
- The earlier `pnpm test:run` passed all six chat shards: 1,828 tests.
Its remaining general-server phase was interrupted after final-head CI
passed. That local command began before the review fix and is not a
complete local full-suite pass.
- Final head `096235d8fc80033f92d8de1fcfa9835795ba0456`: 54 successful
checks/statuses, three skipped checks, and two neutral checks. None is
pending or failed. All build, typecheck, general/serialized tests,
Runner checks, and eight browser E2E shards pass in
[CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41544310900).
The PR is mergeable with no conflicts.
- Greptile is 5/5 on that exact head. Its ownership finding is resolved
and no review thread remains open. Paperclip Review also reports 5/5
with no findings; its check conclusion is neutral. Its earlier
status-conflict recovery completed through the ordinary review request
path.
- Local environment: macOS arm64, Node 26.4.0, pnpm 9.15.4, isolated
native PostgreSQL and the disposable PostgreSQL 17 lifecycle fixture.
The acquisition boundary is controlled in the focused preparation cases.
No live Codex/Daytona replay is claimed: the local environment and test
configuration lack the required test credentials.
- No deployment, merge, or original task recovery is claimed.

## Risks

- Incorrect contention classification could retry a stopped or
unverified writer. Only a running writer with a same-company task and
recent activity enters the wait path. Stale and terminal dirty cases
retain the conflict.
- Retries must not start another executor or release unsaved files.
Reservation remains atomic. The tests check unchanged writer authority,
no allocation before release, one durable retry, retained binding, Stop,
and reassignment before the conflict is caught.
- No API schema, database migration, provider configuration, model,
credential, trust, or approval changes.

## Model Used

- OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` through Codex. The context window size is not
exposed in this session. Used reasoning, tool use, code execution, and
browser diagnostics. No sub-agents were used.

DottaandPaperclip 71a20453e1 fix(workspaces): honor inherited remote workspace bindings (#18611)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Task creation can bind a child to its parent's execution workspace.
> - Native sandbox runs reserve that workspace before the provider
starts.
> - Remote reservation rejected inherited isolated workspaces and
operator branches because the original source task differed.
> - This check stopped valid child tasks before their existing access
and writer checks could run.
> - This pull request uses the persisted binding and existing
source-access checks to admit that continuation.
> - The benefit is that authorized child tasks can continue saved work
while the single-writer lock stays effective.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A child inherited an active isolated remote workspace through normal
task creation. Its next run failed during setup with `Workspace
ownership changed.` No provider work started. The reservation guard
treated the original `sourceIssueId` as exclusive ownership, although
task creation had persisted a valid child binding.

**Expected behavior**

A bound child or follow-up can reserve the workspace after the prior
writer saves. Current task/run access, source visibility, trust, company
scope, closed-workspace state, and writer checks must still apply. The
original source task remains provenance.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a task with an active saved remote isolated workspace or
operator branch.
2. Create a child without an explicit workspace override.
3. Confirm that the child inherited the execution workspace ID.
4. Start its native sandbox run. The old reservation guard rejects it

Reproduced on source based on

`1a6017d6460267ad89d7e1784e2b521c28d8e9ac`.

Related: #17156 proposes separate workspaces for child tasks. This
repair preserves the current inheritance contract and enforces the
remote writer lock. #16911 addresses child bindings across repositories.

## What Changed

- Remove the original-task equality restriction for active remote
workspaces. Keep the existing persisted-binding and retained-source
authorization path. Explicit task-root selection follows the existing V1
filesystem contract; task-assignment grants do not define filesystem
permissions.
- Keep closed workspace rejection and unfinished-writer checks.
- Add database-backed regressions for inheritance, replay, competing
children, an unbound task, private source data, company isolation, and
closed records.
- Extend real save/restore tests for inherited isolated workspaces and
operator branches. Keep shared-workspace discovery coverage.
- Update the development guide and workspace maps.

## Verification

- Red: before the repair, the inherited isolated/operator cases fail
with `Workspace ownership changed.` The shared case passes. The unfixed
suite has five failures and four passes.
- Green: 11 reservation cases pass with real PostgreSQL 18 in an
isolated Docker container.
- An earlier run of the four affected workspace/preparation/trust suites
passed 191 tests. The review follow-up passes all 15 selected
reservation/save/restore cases. Inherited cases remove the original
files, use a distinct allocation and target, restore the saved file,
append child work, and independently read that work from the child's new
snapshot. Shared-source discovery stays covered. The filter excludes 42
other integration cases.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, `node scripts/check-maps.mjs`, and
`git diff --check` pass. A direct server typecheck also passes after the
final test edit.
- `pnpm test:run` stopped in its first chat shard: 338 passed, one
Discord receiver-lease setup failure, 1,478 outside the shard. The
failing test passes in isolation on both the unchanged baseline and the
fix. Its suite-order failure is not explained by that retry and remains
recorded. The unchanged baseline also fails three other Discord
publication cases in that chat shard, while its next chat shard passes.
This does not reproduce or explain the original lease failure; both
results remain recorded. CI is complete on `e697f6e1b8`: 54 successful
check runs, one successful legacy status, three skipped checks, and one
neutral check. No check is pending or failed. Greptile gives this commit
5/5 with no remaining findings. The security reviewer accepted the
V1-contract explanation; both review threads are resolved.
- Live sandbox acceptance remains unverified. The available test
credentials could not resolve the required sandbox snapshot. The
provider rejected creation before workspace execution, and a scoped
follow-up found no allocation. No live model turn, deployment, or
original-task recovery is claimed.
- Local environment: macOS arm64, Node 26.4.0, pnpm 9.15.4. Native
PostgreSQL startup hit the host semaphore limit; tests use disposable
Docker databases. No shared database was reset.

## Risks

- A bound child can now write after the prior writer releases the
workspace. Incorrect binding or access checks could expose source data.
Regressions cover unbound, private-source, and foreign-company
rejection.
- Concurrent children must not become two writers. A real transaction
race grants exactly one reservation; saved-file tests keep the second
writer blocked until save completes.
- No schema or migration changes. This PR does not change task-creation
inheritance, requested models, credentials, trust, approval gates, or
recovery budgets.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6. The exact serving model ID and context
window are not exposed in this session. Used reasoning, tool use, code
execution, and browser diagnostics. No sub-agents were used.

DottaandPaperclip 7751fc3107 fix(server): complete volume-free controller admission and recovery (#18543)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Its volume-free web server must admit remote warm execution without
depending on a local disk.
> - Fresh run rows retain the initial legacy label during workspace
preparation.
> - The native runtime selector commits the execution mode later.
> - The earlier guard rejected valid remote runs before that selection.
> - This PR checks storage during preparation and the resolved lifecycle
during runtime selection.
> - Agent-file recovery also has to reconstruct disposable cache paths
from the retained remote directory.
> - The deployment test removes the complete predecessor home, including
immutable caches, to enforce that contract.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18518, #18529, #18533.

**What happened?**

A real Codex/Daytona deployment test failed during setup because the
volume-free workspace guard checked the initial run label. After fixing
admission, controller retirement first failed on an immutable skill
cache. Removing that cache exposed a production recovery failure: B
rejected the saved agent-directory path from A, even though the remote
execution identity was unchanged. The next live attempt recovered that
directory and transferred the same runner, but adoption then tried to
recreate provider launch assets from the deleted controller home.

**Expected behavior**

Allow remote workspace preparation before native selection. Reject
actual legacy and per-turn execution at the runtime boundary. Delete the
entire stopped predecessor home, including immutable caches, without
following links to shared dependencies. B must reconstruct its local
agent-file projection from the exact registered remote lease while
preserving the save baseline and unsaved remote edits. Reattaching an
already-running provider must not prepare a new launch or require the
old launch files. The full backend must recover the admitted
instructions from the matching durable run checkpoint.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the explicit
`rolling-web-deployment.runner-codex.daytona.recover-controller` Product
E2E cell with a complete server/UI build, disposable PostgreSQL/S3, and
an owned Daytona fixture. The new boundary regressions also reproduce
the premature guard and missing runtime rejection without a model call.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The failures were observed on
`247552fe0719dcc92f7b42c50b658be6f624986d`. This branch is based on
`e122478368`.

## What Changed

- Validate Runner and remote workspace authority before runtime
selection without trusting the initial run label.
- Reject resolved legacy execution and local-source fallback, preserving
the native warm-policy check before admission.
- Rebind remote agent-file caches on ephemeral controllers and retrieve
their validated contents without uploading over the retained execution.
Preserve pending saves when the remote collector is unavailable.
- Restore over-quota remote directories without applying save quotas to
run admission; ordinary saves still enforce quotas.
- Skip provider launch asset materialization when adopting an existing
Runner. A real-process regression deletes the old skill/instruction
sources before reattachment.
- Recover admitted system instructions through Runner-owned checkpoint
validation for the same run, session and context digest. Fresh launches
still compose current instructions.
- Make the attention-retention test advance past its database-assigned
deadline, fixing a clean-master clock mismatch.
- Serialize remote collection and cleanup across controllers with an
operation-scoped Postgres advisory lock; fence stale cache-path updates.
- Keep synthetic deployment probe tasks in a separate disposable company
so they cannot block the business completion oracle.
- Share the launcher's directory cleanup with rolling retirement. Reject
a symlink root and skip linked descendants.
- Test admission with real PostgreSQL transactions and cleanup with real
read-only directories and external symlinks.
- Update developer documentation and the canonical qualification record.
Broader deployment acceptance remains in progress.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed.
- All 156 workspace preparation, runtime selection and ephemeral
contract tests passed. Two new regressions failed before the source fix.
- Seven focused Product E2E cleanup/replacement tests and `pnpm
test:e2e:runner:typecheck` passed.
- `pnpm test:run` stopped at an unrelated 15-second chat integration
timeout after 338 passes. That exact test passed in isolation without
increasing its timeout. The later full-suite shards did not run.
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:unit` reported 5,898 passes and 13 failures.
Clean master reproduced 11 failures in unchanged onboarding
expectations, operating receipts, Pi catalog assertions, workflow
bootstrap counts and embedded PostgreSQL startup. The other two workflow
assertions were fixed by the intervening master commit. These failures
are retained, not counted as passes.
- All 122 workspace-preparation tests pass after the reviewed
host-fallback fix. The first broader attempt exposed a test environment
leak; restoring the ephemeral flag between cases resolved it.
- Agent-directory and instruction regressions passed 179 tests. Five
focused cache-loss cases pass: different home, same path on an empty
filesystem, foreign lease, concurrent controller, and missing collector.
- The live fixture at `a18f6b85a3` gracefully stopped A and deleted its
entire home, then failed the 420-second remote reattachment deadline on
the saved local agent-directory path. That failure is retained; exact
owned sandbox cleanup was independently confirmed. The next live attempt
at `e14ca5f3e9` restored the cache and transferred the same runner, but
failed while rematerializing launch assets from A. Both failures are
retained and their owned sandboxes confirmed absent. No active-overlap,
ten-deploy, or production-canary acceptance is claimed.
- All 71 related Runner adoption/recovery cases pass, including the new
removed-context regression (failed before the source fix).
- The revised full agent-directory suite passed 110 cases and failed
three cleanup timing cases. All 20 cleanup/cache-loss cases then passed
in isolation with unchanged timeouts, including over-quota recovery.
- Server and Runner TypeScript checks pass after the latest corrections;
the live retry remains pending.

- The live test at `67714af9ff` adopted the same remote execution after
A was deleted, then failed while the full backend read the retired
instruction bundle. All owned sandboxes were independently confirmed
absent. Its regression now passes with actual backend recovery and no
new thread or turn. All 59 backend factory tests and focused checkpoint
identity tests pass. Runner and server TypeScript checks pass; the exact
committed server build passes. A fresh paid-model retry followed.
- The attention-retention CI timeout reproduced on clean master. The
deadline correction passes all 53 tests in that file with unchanged
timeouts.

- The real `cd690de4d3` run transferred the same runner/session after
deleting A, completed, and completed the next revision. During handoff,
372 reads and 38 saves had zero failures; all 38 saves were verified.
The full attempt was interrupted because the probe's open task
contaminated the business company oracle. This remains incomplete
evidence. The scope regression fails before the fixture fix, then
passes; all nine deployment support tests and E2E typecheck pass. All
three owned sandboxes were confirmed absent and temporary
credentials/storage were cleaned up. A clean corrected attempt is
running.

## Risks

- The runtime guard must still reject legacy and per-turn execution
before dispatch. Tests cover these refusals and a valid resolved warm
policy.
- Directory permission changes apply only during cleanup of stopped,
test-owned homes. Traversal does not follow symlinks. This changes no
production cache permissions.
- Cache reconstruction must not change remote execution authority or
rebase the original save baseline. Tests verify foreign-lease rejection,
preserved receipts, and absence of local-to-remote upload.
- Postgres locking is scoped to active remote file work and adds no idle
polling; local/durable-server locking remains unchanged.
- No schema or public API changes. External conversation exemptions
remain unchanged.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 Codex, with reasoning, repository editing, shell execution
and live integration-test tools. The exact runtime model variant and
context-window size are not exposed in this session.

Latest real qualification at f5915fdc33: both empty-home replacements
completed with 523 reads, 53 saves and 53 verified saves, zero probe
failures. The active remote execution survived and completed once; saved
project bytes and the later useful answer passed. The full workflow
remains FAILED: the later continuation reset its native/provider session
and the public run row lacked the native terminal contract. These newly
exposed compatibility/projection gaps are tracked in the next
implementation slice; this PR is not a claim of full Railway
qualification. All owned Daytona sandboxes were independently confirmed
absent after cleanup.

DottaandPaperclip 006d5691a6 feat(server): support volume-free web server handoff (#18518)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Its web server also owns controller admission and user commands.
> - A rolling deployment starts a replacement before the old server
exits.
> - Shared database state alone does not preserve local agent files,
browser chunks, or in-process commands.
> - This pull request adds an opt-in ephemeral server contract and a
local overlap test.
> - The benefit is a web server that can relinquish traffic and local
files without losing acknowledged work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18403, #18327, #18335, #18341.

**Current behavior**

The control-plane web server still has local agent-file authority and
local command targets. A new container can miss saved bytes or send a
command to the wrong process. An existing browser tab also needs chunks
from its original build.

**Proposed behavior**

Eligible servers share only PostgreSQL, object storage and stable
secrets. A replacement waits for readiness. The old server drains
admitted requests, keeps owner commands available through handoff, and
releases controller leases. Explicit maintenance adopts existing files
before the volume is removed.

**Reason and benefit**

This is the application prerequisite for rolling app-only deployments.
Schema migrations and permanent multi-replica operation are outside this
change.

## What Changed

- Store agent-file manifests in PostgreSQL and immutable bytes in S3.
Treat local roots as disposable projections. Preserve existing
permission checks and edit conflicts.
- Add an explicit migration, eligibility and object-retention command to
the production runtime bundle.
- Add `/api/ready`, admitted-request drain, browser restart signaling
and retained immutable UI chunks.
- Carry transaction-aware work hints across controllers during handoff
and active execution. Keep listeners closed when idle.
- Deliver durable Stop and runtime responses to the execution owner.
Recheck request lifecycle and access before response dispatch.
- Reject local-only configuration in ephemeral mode. Keep the feature
disabled for existing installations by default.
- Add an isolated PostgreSQL/S3/proxy/browser deployment harness with
independent server homes and retained failure evidence.

## Verification

- All CI checks pass on `ce17b95019d3cf1cabd357d19b6d37f96782cc5c`:
workspace typecheck, build, Runner checks, server/general tests and
browser shards. Greptile reviewed the runtime changes at 5/5 with all
findings resolved; the final commit updates maps and the plan.
- Local targeted checks passed: coordinator 27; Stop/recovery 33;
PostgreSQL command delivery 6; route/workspace regressions 8; bootstrap
Stop 1; restart recovery 75. PostgreSQL command tests simulate the
provider edge.
- Local browser proof passed 91 reads and 19 saves; reconnect took
1,013ms. The tab opened Audit from S3 after deletion of A's whole
home/build. This uses compiled workspace code and local-trusted auth,
not released containers or live agents.
- Local workspace typecheck/build passed; current server and runtime
bundle passed. The earlier broad local suite was stopped after three
hours and is not a passing receipt. Its retained failures and isolated
reruns are documented in the plan.
- Stacked #18526 adds stricter graceful-exit proof, an unready
replacement control, live Runner qualification and a Stop handoff
correction. Hosted enablement remains gated on those results and Cloud
#1096. No hosted stack has been enabled.

## Risks

- Apply migration 0422 before enabling the feature. Existing data must
pass each owner's migration and eligibility checks. Do not discard a
volume based on a single migration page.
- Durable manifests remain authoritative after the opt-in is disabled.
Rolling back to a binary that ignores them is unsupported.
- Cold directory restoration and complete shutdown timing still need
qualification before enabling a hosted stack.
- Retained UI assets must cover the supported browser and rollback
window. Cleanup is explicit; no new idle maintenance polling is
introduced.
- This change does not claim production zero downtime or authorize a
fleet-wide enablement.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The exact serving model ID and
context-window limit are not exposed in this session. Used reasoning,
code editing, shell execution and browser automation.

DottaandPaperclip 5e4cc01073 feat(workspaces): keep remote files off the webserver disk (#18403)
Keep native sandbox workspace files independent of the webserver disk. Use encrypted saved versions and Postgres ownership so a replacement server can recover files and continue work. Enable the path by default for new eligible workspaces when durable storage is configured.

Preserve explicit opt-outs and existing host workspaces. Include safe snapshot repair, Files access, import, migration and retention. Bound saved-Files resources, preserve imported Git recovery, reject unfinished Git operations, publish immutable concurrent captures, and verify permanent object-version deletion.

Validated 471 targeted local controls, build/typechecks, all 40 CI partitions, fresh Greptile 5/5 and security review. The PR records original failed attempts and scoped retries.
