DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 c45f54ee74 fix(native): stop or release unclosable idle warm Runners on environment delete, and say why a close failed (#20957)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs keep a warm Runner in a Daytona sandbox between turns of
a task, so the next turn starts fast
> - Each idle warm Runner has an in-memory owner in the controller.
Deleting an environment closes these owners before it destroys the
sandboxes
> - In every warm chaos wave today, some owners never closed. The server
logged only `{"failed":2}`. Environment delete returned 409 forever, and
all sandboxes of the wave stayed `started` until their 60-minute TTL
> - On staging, that is leaked sandboxes (cost) and owners that block
the work after them
> - This pull request logs and reports the exact close error, stops an
unsettled idle Runner when its environment is deleted, and releases an
owner whose sandbox is already destroyed
> - The benefit is that environment delete finishes or names the exact
run and error, and every warm chaos wave now grades a clean shutdown

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
After warm Daytona chaos waves (W2, W2Q, W2C cells, `--faults K0`) on
Codex, Claude and OpenCode, the server logged `idle native session
cleanup failed before controller shutdown {"idleSessions":{"failed":2}}`
with no reason. `DELETE
/api/environments/:id?destroyReusableSandboxLeases=true` returned 409
"warm native runner did not shut down cleanly" on every retry. Eight
sandboxes per wave stayed `started`.

**Root cause.**
`closeIdleWarmNativeSessions`
(`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.ts`)
dropped the close error (`catch {}`) and counted it. The owners that
failed are the W2Q owners. A W2Q task parks a question and is answered
by a later run on a fresh sandbox. With the reason logged, a wave shows
two causes for the same owner:

1. The owner's close cannot settle (`native_session_close_unrecoverable:
runner did not durably suspend before checkpoint`, the governed-wait
shape from #20844). Only a successor reset could force a stop
(`discardUnsettledSession`). An idle sweep or environment delete had no
forced stop.
2. The owner's sandbox lease was already destroyed by the
pending-cleanup sweep after the successor moved to a fresh sandbox
(#20863). Every close then fails with `Daytona sandbox lease <id> is no
longer active.`, because the stop RPC has no sandbox to reach. The owner
stays registered for ever.

The Runner close memoizes its rejection, so every later attempt fails at
once with the same error. This is not the "controller sequence must be
contiguous" exit (#20946): no close failure in these waves names a
sequence mismatch.

**Expected behavior**
An idle warm owner with no turn in flight never blocks environment
delete for ever. Every failed close names its run and its error.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run `tests/restart-chaos/main.ts --env daytona --daytona-warm
--adapters claude --workloads W2,W2Q,W2C --faults K0 --concurrency 8
--tasks 8`.
2. Read `<wave>/sandbox-sweep.json`: `environmentDeleteBlocked` is set
and the sandboxes are `started`.

## What Changed

- `closeIdleWarmNativeSessions` now returns `failures: [{ runId,
issueId, environmentId, providerLeaseId, reason }]`. The reason is the
close error with its code, its settlement record and its cause. It also
logs `idle warm native sessions did not close` with that list. The
idle-timeout close logs its error too.
- `closeWarmNativeSessionsForEnvironment` takes `forceStopUnsettled` and
`db`. The environment delete route sets both. When the graceful close
fails, Core retires the owner as #20844 does: one confirmed Launcher
`stop`, the credential snapshot, `complete`, then instruction
collection. A failed forced stop is added to the reason.
- When retirement still fails and the owner's sandbox lease has a
`destroyed` termination receipt, Core releases the owner. It does not
contact the sandbox. It logs `warm native session's sandbox was already
destroyed; released its owner` with the close error.
- The environment delete 409 now names each run and its reasons, and
`details.nativeRunnerSessions.failures` lists them.
- Idle timeout, controller restart and tenant sleep do not force a stop.
Their conversation can still be resumed, so they only log the reason.
- Chaos harness: new check `warm-shutdown.ts`, "no leaked sandboxes /
clean warm shutdown". Every warm wave (`--daytona-warm` or `--lifecycle
warm`) runs it. It fails the wave on a blocked delete, on a sandbox left
running after cleanup, or on a warm session that did not close at
environment delete or controller shutdown. It writes
`<wave>/warm-shutdown.json` and a section in `SUMMARY.md`.
- Docs: `doc/plugins/PLUGIN_RUNNER_EXECUTION.md` and the chaos README.

## Verification

- RED on master: `native-session-executor.test.ts -t "stops an idle warm
owner whose close cannot settle"` fails: `expected { closed: 0, busy: 0,
failed: 1 } to match object { closed: 0, failed: 1, failures: [...] }`
(a bare count, no reason). `environment-routes.test.ts -t "names the
warm runner session"` fails: the 409 does not name the run. On the first
fix commit, `-t "sandbox lease is gone"` fails: the lease state is never
read, and the owner stays.
- GREEN: those tests pass. The executor suite, environment routes, run
control, recovery, heartbeat process recovery, instance settings, the
idle-sleep, eviction, release-resume, restart-recovery and
warm-checkpoint integration suites pass (11 files, 2471 tests).
`tests/restart-chaos` unit test `warm-shutdown` passes. Server and
harness `tsc --noEmit` pass.
- Daytona warm waves (Claude, W2/W2Q/W2C, K0, 8 tasks). The runner image
`sha256:e04d9ce4…` matches 7e8901aa60, not current master, so each wave
ran this change cherry-picked onto 7e8901aa60:
- `w-20261111T210049-s6111` (first commit only): the close reason is now
logged: `close failed: Daytona sandbox lease 192606aa… is no longer
active.` The delete stayed 409 with that reason. The new check failed
the wave correctly.
- `w-20261111T222826-s6112` (all commits): two W2Q owners were released
with `sandbox was already destroyed`. The environment was deleted. 0
sandboxes left running. The warm-shutdown check passed. No 409 from a
warm session.
- Not verified: a wave where the graceful close fails and the forced
Launcher stop succeeds on a live sandbox (that path is covered by the
unit test). The wave's task failures (`T:first_run_succeeded`,
`R3:retry_needed`) are other open defects. They are also on master.

## Risks

- Environment delete now stops an idle Runner whose close did not
settle. The delete already has the operator's consent to destroy those
sandboxes. The workspace-export and restore-source guards on sandbox
destruction are unchanged. Instruction files are collected after the
confirmed stop, as in #20844.
- An owner is released without contact only when a lease for the same
company, environment and sandbox has a valid `destroyed` termination
receipt. A `stopped` receipt is not enough, because a stopped sandbox
can be resumed.
- `closeIdleWarmNativeSessions` results have a new `failures` field.
Callers that read only the counts are unchanged.
- No persisted state changes. Warm owners live only in controller
memory, so older saved state and mid-run deploys are not affected.
- The new harness check can fail a warm restart-fault wave that leaves a
warm session unclosed at controller shutdown. That is a real leaked
Runner.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 5dfbb04b85 Poll asynchronous workspace provider preparation (#20865)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip starts agent runs through a workspace provider when a
project uses remote storage.
> - The provider must prepare the workspace before the agent starts.
> - One long worker call ties the checkout to its transport.
> - Some checkouts take longer than the transport allows.
> - This change lets an opted-in provider accept work and report its
deadline.
> - Core waits for completion through short status calls and stops at
the provider deadline.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A workspace provider can lose its reply when preparation takes longer
than a single transport request. This stops run bootstrap before agent
execution.

**Expected behavior**

Core should wait for a provider-confirmed workspace through short
requests. The provider's deadline must bound the wait.

**Steps to reproduce**

Use a workspace provider that takes longer to prepare a checkout than
its transport can remain open. Start a run that requires a new checkout.

## What Changed

- Add an optional workspace preparation method to the plugin SDK.
- Validate pending receipts and keep the original binding checks on
completed replies.
- Poll only during active preparation. Retry a lost status reply within
the advertised deadline.
- Preserve the original operation for providers that do not offer
asynchronous preparation.
- Reject deadline offers that exceed the existing lifecycle lock budget.
Honor accepted offers without shortening them.
- Checkout verification uses the existing synchronous RPC with a
10-second deadline and a 12-second transport timeout. [Core verification
PR #20876](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/20876)

## Verification

- All 63 workspace SDK and Core integration tests passed with temporary
local PostgreSQL. The tests cover lost status replies, deadline expiry,
oversized offers, and synchronous verification with an async-capable
worker.
- All 58 runner SDK input, evidence, and public type tests passed with
the regenerated source pins. The local server typecheck passed.

## Risks

- This change activates only when the provider advertises the method.
Existing providers keep their current behavior.
- Polling uses one-second intervals during active preparation. It stops
at completion, failure, or the provider deadline.
- No database migration is required.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-6 Codex with local code execution and tests.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

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

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

Refs #20844, #18373.

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A new run on a task whose previous run left a warm Runner retained
failed within two minutes, before any provider turn. The error was
`provider_transport_failed: runner did not durably suspend before
checkpoint`. The run row recorded `executionRecovery: { kind:
"bootstrap", providerWorkStarted: false }`. Two runs of the same agent
on two tasks failed this way 47 seconds apart, after a configuration
change made both start new provider sessions. One predecessor had parked
on a `request_human_input` question; its callback never settled.

**Expected behavior**
A run that has done no provider work does not fail because its
predecessor's Runner could not prove suspension. The new session never
resumes the old checkpoint. Core must only prove that the old owner is
contained, and then start.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a warm native task that parks on a saved question (chaos workload
Q1).
2. After the asking run settles, change the agent's adapter
configuration, so the next run cannot resume the saved session.
3. Answer the question. The follow-up run retires the parked owner and
fails with the error above.

Related: #18373 added the stopped-owner reset path that this change
extends.

## What Changed

- `closeWarmNativeSession` (server native executor): during retirement
for a different normalized session, accept an unrecoverable close when
the old owner is contained. A plugin task owner must show its
`executionStopped: true` receipt and a completed handoff. Without a task
owner, the Runner's own durable suspension
(`settlement.runnerSuspended`) is the proof. Unsettled Core tool
callbacks of the discarded conversation no longer block the reset.
- With a plugin task owner, any close error qualifies once the Launcher
receipt exists. This includes a failed `stop` that
`releaseRunnerProcessOwnership` rethrows, and "Controller journal drain
timed out": the discarded session's journal lives in its own state root.
Owners without a task keep the narrower rule. `--matrix` now rejects
session faults.
- `createPluginRunnerTaskOwner`: add `retireSupersededTask()`. When
close left the receipt unproven, the new run sends one confirmed `stop`
(not resent after a confirmed stop), takes the credential snapshot, and
calls `complete`. It never reads the old state.
- Same-session continuation, a handoff that still fails, other close
errors and failed instruction collection still block replacement.
- Chaos harness: add session fault SR1
(`tests/restart-chaos/session-faults.ts`). With Q1 and `--lifecycle
warm` (or `--daytona-warm`), the board changes
`adapterConfig.idleTimeoutMs` after the asking run settles and before it
answers. `--tasks 2 --concurrency 2` is the two-concurrent-runs variant.
Q1's oracle applies, plus `session_rotated_before_answer` and
`follow_up_new_session`.
- Docs: `doc/plugins/PLUGIN_RUNNER_EXECUTION.md` and the chaos README
describe the new boundary and cell.

## Verification

- RED on master: `native-session-executor.test.ts -t "permanently
rejected plugin close during reset"` fails the `pending-semantic` and
`stop-unconfirmed-at-close` cases with
`NativeSessionCloseUnrecoverableError: provider_transport_failed: runner
did not durably suspend before checkpoint`. GREEN with this change: all
identity-transition cases pass (49).
- Chaos SR1 local, master server code (`--env local --lifecycle warm
--workloads Q1 --faults SR1`, seeds 301 with 2 tasks and 303 with 1
task): all tasks pass, and the follow-up started a new provider session.
The local parked owner closes cleanly, so the local cell does not
reproduce the failure. It needs a Daytona task owner.
- Chaos SR1 local with this change (seed 302, 2 concurrent tasks on one
agent): 2/2 pass, `follow_up_new_session` true for both.
- Not run: the Daytona SR1 variant. No runner image matches this
checkout's runner content ID, and this change does not touch runner
inputs.
- `pnpm exec vitest run --config tests/restart-chaos/vitest.config.ts
question-handoff scheduler config` passes. Server and harness `tsc
--noEmit` pass.

## Risks

- The reset no longer waits for unsettled Core tool callbacks of the
discarded session. Their run is already terminal and their provider is
stopped, so no result can reach a provider, and the new session never
replays them. Core-side tool executions keep their own receipts under
the old run.
- A local owner without a task needs the Runner's durable suspension. A
local owner that did not suspend still blocks replacement, as before.
- Previous-release story: this changes no persisted state. Warm owners
live only in controller memory, so a deploy drops them as before.

## Model Used

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

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 052c638b51 fix(environments): honor stopped-task proof after warm preparation (#20289)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A warm plugin Runner retains its task for later runs.
> - A follow-up can find that the retained task has stopped.
> - The resume path already asks settle to check status before it sends
stop.
> - A saved startup marker disabled this order, even after warm
preparation had finished.
> - This pull request applies the same stop-proof check to all
observed-stop releases.
> - The next run skips a repeated stop when status proves both execution
and required preparation have stopped.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Fixes: #20224
Refs #20203

## What Changed

- Remove the startup-marker exclusion from the existing status-first
path. Keep the existing shared confirmation check. It still requires
`preparationStopped: true` for startup work.
- Keep stop followed by status when the first status lacks the required
proof. Keep the startup drain, credential writeback, complete, and
cleanup failure handling.
- Add retained-task coverage with the startup metadata that warm
preparation saves. Cover a startup cleanup whose first status lacks
preparation proof.
- Update the plugin task lifecycle contract.

## Verification

- Local macOS, source base `3e8744fa91`: from `server`, `pnpm exec
vitest run src/__tests__/environment-task-runtime.test.ts
src/__tests__/plugin-warm-tasks.integration.test.ts
src/__tests__/plugin-task-credential-writeback.test.ts` passed: 3 files,
82 tests. The integration tests use real embedded PostgreSQL and
controlled plugin results.
- After restoring the fix, the two affected files passed again: 73
tests.
- Independent parent verification on commit `19f720ff68`: the two files
filtered to the changed startup-proof and retained-task cases passed (4
tests). Independent source review found no actionable issue.
- Baseline proof: with only the source condition restored to upstream,
the new retained-task test with saved startup metadata fails because it
sees an extra `stop`. The case without that metadata passes. The source
fix was then restored.
- The retained-task regression asserts exactly `environmentResumeLease`,
`status`, `complete`, and `environmentAcquireLease`, with both task
operations bound to the old task. The startup test also proves that
missing preparation proof sends `stop` and a second `status`.
- Test setup: `node scripts/agent-preflight.mjs --skip-rust-debug
--explain` installed dependencies, then stopped because Cargo is
unavailable on this Mac. Initial test collection failed because the
plugin SDK output was absent. `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-sdk
build` built that required dependency and the shared package; the
targeted test run then passed.
- Standard Greptile reviewed commit
`19f720ff686058b4dd6b34f27cdfb9c8ff60e50a` at 5/5 with no review
threads.
[Review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/20289#issuecomment-6743829614).
- Full local checks were not run, as requested. [GitHub PR workflow
42644023868](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42644023868)
passed on final commit `19f720ff686058b4dd6b34f27cdfb9c8ff60e50a`. It
supplied broad typecheck, build, and test coverage. The separate Snyk
status passed. Optional Storybook checks were skipped.
- The change removes one provider stop call on the reported path. The
issue's measured eight calls would become seven if other calls stay the
same. The earlier five-call target is not claimed. No deployed latency
measurement is claimed.

## Risks

- A provider that cannot prove preparation stopped still gets stop and
status. That fallback can cost one extra status call, as the existing
status-first contract already allows.
- A status failure keeps cleanup pending and blocks replacement. No
termination proof or credential handoff is skipped.
- No schema, API, dependency, or timer change. No added work on
successful task reuse or ordinary task dispatch.
- Live provider acceptance remains unrun. The local evidence checks
orchestration and stop-proof handling.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, repository inspection,
shell tools, and code execution. The exact serving model ID and context
window are not exposed by this session.

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 990de1e0bf perf(environments): release a stopped plugin task once (#20203)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Plugin environment drivers with `supportsTasks` run agents as
provider tasks, and warm runs keep a parked task for the next run
> - A follow-up run can find that its parked task already stopped. Core
then retires that task before it acquires a new one
> - Core sent `stop`, `status`, and `complete` in the settle step. Then
the plugin release hook sent `stop`, `status`, and `complete` again for
the same task. Every call was on the critical path of the new run
> - This pull request removes the repeated calls and keeps every call
that does work no other call does
> - The benefit is a faster start for a run whose parked task already
stopped

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No issue exists. This follows the enhancement template.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The release of a plugin task lease that has already stopped. This occurs
when a follow-up run finds that its parked warm task stopped.

**Subsystem affected**

Server: plugin environment drivers and the plugin Runner task lifecycle.

**Current behavior**

Core sends `stop`, `status`, and `complete` in the settle step. Then the
plugin release hook sends `stop`, `status`, and `complete` again for the
same task. Core also sends `stop` after resume already saw that the task
stopped. On a hosted test deployment, 8 of 40 follow-up runs took this
path. From the resume to the new acquire, these runs spent P50 1014 ms
and P90 1080 ms. These 8 runs are the full overall P90 (1275 ms).

**Proposed behavior**

Core does not call the release hook when settle confirmed the stop and
completed the same task. After a resume with no lease, Core sends
`status` first, and sends `stop` only when `status` does not confirm the
stop.

**Reason and benefit**

The repeated calls do no new work. Removing them saves about 355 ms,
plus the `stop` share of about 187 ms, for each such run. These numbers
are modeled from trace timings.

**Breaking changes**

None for the plugin API. A task driver must release task-scoped
resources in its `status` or `complete` handling. The doc now says this.

**Additional context**

The settle `status` stays. Providers release task storage there, and it
records the stop that gates the credential writeback and `complete`.

## What Changed

- `settleDispatchedEnvironmentTask` now returns `"completed"` when it
confirmed the stop and completed the task in this call, `"stopped"` when
the lease was already settled, and `false` otherwise.
- The plugin driver release does not call `environmentReleaseLease` when
settle returned `"completed"`. In all other cases it calls the hook as
before.
- When `environmentResumeLease` returns no provider lease, the release
sends `status` first. It sends `stop` (and a second `status`) only when
that `status` does not confirm `executionStopped: true`. Startup and
startup-cleanup leases keep the old `stop` first order.
- The cleanup sweep (`retryPendingSandboxTeardown`) and
`destroyRunLease` do not change. A settle failure still leaves the lease
in `pending_cleanup`, and the sweep runs `stop`, `status`, `complete`,
and the release hook.
- `doc/plugins/PLUGIN_RUNNER_EXECUTION.md` tells drivers about the new
order and that task-scoped resources must be released in `status` or
`complete`.

### Dispatch count for a stopped parked task (resume to new acquire)

| | Calls |
| --- | --- |
| Before | resume, stop, status, (credentials), complete, release hook
(stop, status, complete), acquire: 9 provider calls (10 with Codex
writeback) |
| After | resume, status, (credentials), complete, acquire: 4 provider
calls (5 with Codex writeback) |

The modeled saving is about 540 ms for each such run: about 355 ms for
the repeated release, and about 187 ms for the settle `stop` and
`status`. This pull request keeps the settle `status`, so the real
saving is about 355 ms plus the `stop` share of the 187 ms. These
numbers are modeled from trace timings. They are not measured on this
branch.

### What covers each removed call

- Release hook `stop`, `status`, `complete`: settle already sent `stop`
and `status` and checked `executionStopped: true` for the same task id
(`lease.providerLeaseId`), then sent `complete`. The skip uses settle's
success as its condition, not the code path.
- Settle `stop` after a resume with no lease: the next `status` must
report `executionStopped: true`. If it does not, Core sends `stop` and
`status` as before.

### What each kept call protects

- Settle `status`: providers release task storage and cancel
preparations here. It also writes `runnerTaskExecutionStopped`, which
the credential writeback and the `complete` bookkeeping need.
- Credential writeback: Codex can rotate its token. The writeback must
land before the new task installs credentials. It still runs inside
`complete`, before the new acquire.
- Settle `complete`: it retires every run lease that owned the task and
clears the dispatch marker.
- Release hook when settle did not complete a dispatched task in this
call: the provider may still hold the lease.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared --filter @paperclipai/plugin-sdk
build`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `npx vitest run src/__tests__/plugin-warm-tasks.integration.test.ts
src/__tests__/plugin-task-credential-writeback.test.ts
src/__tests__/environment-task-runtime.test.ts`
- Related suites: `environment-runtime`,
`plugin-runner-task.integration`, `task-creation-recovery.integration`,
`heartbeat-plugin-environment`, `native-startup-cleanup-recovery`,
`plugin-environment-driver-ready-recovery`,
`environment-task-authority.integration`, `native-workspace-warm-reuse`,
`remote-workspaces.integration`, `legacy-workspace-restore-recovery`,
`plugin-task-source-recovery.integration`,
`managed-plugin-environments`.

Locally, all of these pass except `heartbeat-plugin-environment`
"inherits the instance default environment across companies…". That test
also fails locally with the `origin/master` service files, so this
change does not cause it.

The existing `plugin-runner-task.integration` same-run replacement test
now expects no release hook after a completed settle.

New tests:

- The stopped parked path sends exactly resume, `status`, `complete`,
acquire. The `status` goes to the old task.
- A resume with no lease for a task that still runs sends `status`,
`stop`, `status`, `complete`.
- A failure at `status`, `complete`, or `stop` leaves the lease in
`pending_cleanup`, and the sweep then sends `stop`, `status`,
`complete`, and the release hook.
- With an observed stop, the Codex writeback runs before `complete`. A
writeback failure leaves the lease for cleanup, and the retry writes
back and completes.
- A startup-cleanup lease still sends `stop` first.

## Risks

- A third-party task driver that releases resources only in
`onEnvironmentReleaseLease` would not get that call after a completed
settle. The doc now states the requirement. The cleanup sweep still
calls the hook after any failure.
- A driver that returns no lease from resume while the task still runs
costs one extra `status`. The behavior stays correct.
- No migration. No API change for plugins.

code execution.

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 e6c74982fe fix(workspaces): report why a workspace provider operation failed (#19362)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A project can store its task workspaces with a workspace storage
provider plugin. Core calls the plugin's `workspaceOperation` method to
prepare, inspect, finalize and remove a workspace.
> - `callWorkspaceProvider` catches every rejection of that call and
throws the same conflict: "Workspace storage operation is incomplete;
retry the same workspace".
> - A provider error, an RPC timeout, a crashed worker and a worker that
never got the call all look the same in the run, the log and the API.
The message tells the user to retry, also when the failure is a fixed
configuration problem that a retry cannot fix.
> - In one diagnosis, three different configuration failures in a row
showed this same message. Finding each cause took trace span counts and
database reads.
> - This pull request lets a provider send a reason from a closed set,
and makes Core tell transport failures apart from provider failures.
> - The benefit is that a failed run says what failed and whether a
retry can help. Provider text and values still never cross into Core.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A workspace provider's `workspaceOperation` failed. The run failed with
"Workspace storage operation is incomplete; retry the same workspace",
`errorCode: setup_failed`, and no reason in the run record or the
`heartbeat execution setup failed` log. Retrying did not help, because
the cause was a provider configuration problem.

**Expected behavior**
Core tells these cases apart: the worker did not receive the call, the
call timed out, the worker stopped during the call, or the provider
reported a failure. For a provider failure, Core shows a bounded reason.
Core tells the user to retry only when a retry can help.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Install a workspace storage provider plugin whose
`onWorkspaceOperation` throws during `prepare` (for example, because of
missing provider settings).
2. Run an agent task in a project that uses that provider.
3. See the failed run: the error is the generic retry message, and the
run record and logs do not show the cause.

**Paperclip version / commit**
`master` at 5ac05871b5.

**Deployment mode**
Any deployment with a workspace storage provider plugin.

## What Changed

- **SDK reason contract.** New
`packages/plugins/sdk/src/workspace-operation-error.ts`:
`WORKSPACE_OPERATION_FAILURE_REASONS` (11 reasons),
`PluginWorkspaceOperationError`, `workspaceOperationErrorData` and
`readWorkspaceOperationFailureReason`. It uses the same envelope design
as `environment-task-error.ts`. The worker host attaches the envelope
only to `workspaceOperation` errors. It copies only the reason, never
the message.
- **Duck-typed reason.** The worker host also forwards an own
`workspaceFailureReason` property from any error, when the value is in
the closed set. A provider that builds against an older SDK can set the
reason before it can import the class. An inherited or unknown value is
ignored. The value can only select one of Core's fixed messages.
- **Core classification.** New
`server/src/services/workspace-provider-failure.ts`.
`callWorkspaceProvider` maps each rejection to a
`WorkspaceProviderFailureError` (409) with `kind`, `reason` and
`retryable`:
- `worker_unavailable`: no request was sent. The
`PluginWorkerUnavailableError` stays as the cause, so run setup retries
it as `plugin_worker_unavailable` (the existing bounded bootstrap
retry).
- `timeout` and `worker_exited`: the outcome is unknown, so the message
still says to retry the same workspace.
  - `transport`: any other rejection. The message is the old message.
- `provider` with a reason: a fixed message per reason. Only transient
reasons say to retry.
- `provider` without a known reason: "Workspace storage provider
reported a failure; retry the same workspace".
- **Run settlement.** `failRunSetup` records
`resultJson.workspaceProviderFailure` (`kind`, `reason`, `retryable`).
The `heartbeat execution setup failed` log carries the same fields and
the run's `errorCode`. The run keeps `errorCode: setup_failed` (except
for the worker-not-running case above), so the existing setup-failure
retry, recovery and chat paths do not change.
- **Span allowlist.** The host accepts a `plugin.workspace.failure` span
and a `plugin.failure_reason` attribute. The value must be a reason from
the closed set or `unknown`.
- **Docs.** `doc/plugins/PLUGIN_RUNNER_EXECUTION.md` describes the
failure kinds and the reasons. `doc/observability.md` lists the new span
and attribute.

## Verification

- `cd packages/plugins/sdk && npx vitest run`: 21 files, 261 tests pass.
The new `tests/workspace-operation-error.test.ts` sends errors through
the real worker RPC host.
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/workspace-provider-failure.test.ts
src/__tests__/plugin-host-services-span.test.ts
src/services/heartbeat/run-completion.test.ts`: 3 files, 118 tests pass.
These tests cover:
- every transport kind, and that a worker refusal is still found as the
cause;
  - a real worker RPC rejection with a reason, and without a reason;
  - a fixed message and retry decision for every reason;
  - span clamping of `plugin.failure_reason`;
- run setup for a provider reason (no retry, reason in `resultJson` and
in the log) and for a stopped worker (bounded retry).
- `cd server && npx vitest run` for the 4 plugin workspace integration
suites (`plugin-workspaces`, `plugin-fresh-workspaces`,
`project-workspace-provider`, `workspace-delivery-cleanup`): 91 tests
pass. Their lost-reply fixtures still get the old "incomplete" message.
- `npx tsc --noEmit` in `packages/plugins/sdk`: no errors. `npx tsc
--noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json` shows no errors in the changed files.
The remaining errors come from workspace packages that I did not build
locally.
- Not run locally: the full `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm test:run` and
`pnpm build`. CI runs them.

## Risks

- **Behavior change for a stopped worker.** A `workspaceOperation` call
that the worker did not receive now gets `errorCode:
plugin_worker_unavailable` and the bounded bootstrap retry, as other
plugin calls already do. Before, it was a `setup_failed` run with no
retry. No request reached the provider, so the retry is safe.
- **Message changes.** Provider-reported failures and timeouts get new
fixed messages. Code that matches the exact old message only sees it for
`transport` and `remote_incomplete` failures. I did not find a match on
this message outside tests.
- **No new error codes.** Provider failures keep `setup_failed`. Retry,
recovery and chat-retry routing does not change.
- **Duck typing.** Any error with an own `workspaceFailureReason` from
the closed set is forwarded. A provider can only select one of Core's
fixed messages. It cannot send text or values.
- **Observability.** The new span attribute is a closed set and stays
inside the host allowlist. No Telemetry change.

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 f9d366acdf fix(runner): require a managed AI connection for plugin Runner-task environments (#19341)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A plugin can provide Runner execution through an environment driver
that declares `supportsTasks: true`. Agent computers use this path.
> - Core let an agent without a managed AI connection run on that path.
The run then used the account that was installed on the plugin's
execution host.
> - That is not a supported credential source. When the host Runner did
not match, the run failed three times, 30 seconds apart, and then
blocked the task with a generic error. The error did not name the fix.
> - The plugin cannot refuse these runs itself. `describe` has no
connection data, and Core replaces plugin error text before the user
sees it.
> - This pull request makes a managed AI connection a requirement for
every plugin Runner-task environment. Core refuses a run without one
before it acquires a lease or calls the plugin.
> - The benefit is one clear notice that tells the operator to choose an
AI connection, and no wasted retries or plugin work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19326. That pull request makes a Runner revision mismatch retry.
It noted that runs without a managed AI connection reach the Runner
check on a different path, which still blocks after 3 attempts. This
pull request removes that path for plugin Runner-task environments.

**Problem or motivation**
A `paperclip_runner` agent with no managed AI connection can run in a
plugin environment that provides Runner tasks. The run uses the account
installed on the execution host. If the host Runner does not match, the
native session retries 3 times and then blocks the task with
"Plugin-provided Runner execution operation unavailable". The operator
cannot tell what to fix.

**Proposed solution**
Refuse these runs in Core before any lease, plugin call, secret
resolution, or provider work. Use one stable reason,
`ai_connection_required`, for run admission, the setup probe, and agent
verification. Show a task notice that names the fix.

**Alternatives considered**
A refusal in the plugin. It cannot see the connection at `describe`,
which runs first. Its error text is also replaced twice before the user
sees it. A new structured plugin error code would still not cover
`describe`.

## What Changed

- Add `server/src/services/plugin-runner-ai-connection.ts`. It holds the
`ai_connection_required` code and message, the probe result, and the
manifest lookup for a Runner-task driver. The lookup moves here from
`agent-runner-selection.ts`, so run admission and runner selection use
the same rule.
- `heartbeat/execution-configuration.ts`: refuse a new
`paperclip_runner` run in a Runner-task environment when it has no
managed AI connection. This also applies when `homeMode:
"preconfigured"` drops the connection. The run fails as
`configuration_incomplete` with reason `ai_connection_required` and an
action URL to the agent's runtime settings. The check runs before
observability, secrets, the managed runtime, the workspace, and the
lease. A resumed native run keeps its admitted contract.
- `recovery/stranded-notice.ts`: add an "AI connection required" task
notice.
- `run-failure-report.ts`: treat this pre-dispatch refusal as an owner
action, not an unexpected failure.
- `adapters/registry.ts`: the unmanaged probe for a Runner-task target
now returns a failed `ai_connection_required` check. It calls no task
operation. Managed probes still go through `testManagedEnvironment`.
- `agent-harness-verification.ts` and
`agent-lifecycle/application/failure.ts`: classify the check as
`ai_connection_required` with a fixed message. Verification waits for
the configuration to change instead of retrying.
- Docs: `PLUGIN_RUNNER_EXECUTION.md` states the requirement.
`PLUGIN_ENVIRONMENT_TASKS.md` no longer mentions installed accounts.
`agent-config-ui.md` notes the requirement.
- Tests: the "plugin-owned account" heartbeat test described the
behavior that this change removes. It now checks the assembled heartbeat
refusal: no plugin call, no native boundary, no adapter, no workspace
files.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run` in `server/` for these files. All tests passed:
- `src/__tests__/heartbeat-execution-configuration.test.ts`. New cases:
refused without a connection, refused for a preconfigured home, managed
passes, resumed native input passes, non-task plugin driver passes. The
refused cases also check that observability, secrets, and the managed
runtime did not start.
- `src/__tests__/heartbeat-plugin-environment.test.ts`. One test,
"inherits the instance default environment across companies…", also
fails on unmodified `master` in my environment. This change does not
touch it, because its driver does not declare `supportsTasks`.
- `src/adapters/registry.test.ts`,
`src/__tests__/agent-harness-verification.test.ts`,
`src/modules/agent-lifecycle/__tests__/diagnostics.test.ts`,
`src/services/recovery/stranded-notice.test.ts`, and
`src/services/__tests__/run-failure-report.test.ts`.
- 17 more suites that use plugin Runner-task environments, with 705
tests: `plugin-runner-task.integration`,
`plugin-warm-tasks.integration`, `task-creation-recovery.integration`,
`native-startup-cleanup-recovery`,
`environment-task-authority.integration`,
`plugin-task-credential-writeback`, agent-lifecycle `lifecycle`,
`setup`, and `environment-plugins`, `workspace-preparation`,
`agent-runner-selection`, `agent-harness-verification-provider-api`,
`agent-harness-verification-remote`, `plugin-environment-driver-seam`,
`environment-task-runtime`, `agent-test-environment-routes`, and
`adapter-registry`.
- `pnpm typecheck` in `server/` reported no errors in the changed files.
Its only errors came from sandbox-provider packages that my local
install did not link.
- Not run: `plugin-runner-probe.test.ts`, because it needs a Cargo
build. This change does not modify `probePluginRunnerEnvironment`. Also
not run: the full `pnpm test:run` and `pnpm build`. CI runs them.

## Risks

- Behavior change: an agent in a plugin Runner-task environment with no
managed AI connection now stops before dispatch. Before, it ran with the
host's installed account. The agent's owner must choose an AI
connection. This includes agents with `homeMode: "preconfigured"` in
these environments.
- Runs that were already admitted and resume from saved native input are
not refused. They keep the earlier behavior until they finish.
- The check reads the plugin manifest on each new run admission for
plugin environments. This is the same lookup that runner selection
already does.
- This pull request and #19326 both edit `stranded-notice.ts` and
`failure.ts`. The changes are additive, but whichever merges second
needs a small rebase.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip aab87ce707 Prove workspace delivery before inspecting cleanup candidates (#18493)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Completed tasks leave workspaces that need safe cleanup.
> - Providers without ancestry inspection currently need a recorded
merged PR before cleanup can start.
> - A squash merge changes commit identity, so direct ancestry cannot
prove that delivery.
> - This change proves delivery from the finalized HEAD and captured
destination before storage inspection.
> - Fresh storage checks and a second delivery check still protect
removal.
> - This reuses the existing worker and receipts. It adds no table or
timer.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18410. Related: #13400 addresses workspace identity during
inspection; this change adds destination-aware delivery discovery.

## What Changed

- Resolve direct ancestry or discover an associated merged GitHub PR
without a recorded work product. Require exact HEAD, destination
repository and branch, and a reachable integration commit.
- Use the latest settled finalization receipt as a candidate. Reject
missing, failed, pending, conflicting, or changed evidence.
- Inspect storage only after positive remote proof for providers that
disable ancestry inspection. Recheck HEAD, branch, source identity and
delivery before removal intent.
- Add an optional provider capability for a specific PR recovery hint
and an optional prepared destination receipt. Older providers keep their
existing protocol.
- Wake cleanup when finalization writes settle or gain a workspace
binding. Keep remote-only retries for concrete unresolved delivery. Park
missing or unsupported candidate identity.
- Reuse the source project's explicit GitHub consent for delivery checks
through the existing authorization service. Revalidate the bound
repository and consent before removal; missing or revoked consent
retains storage without switching identities. Public sources remain
anonymous.
- Update the contracts, documentation, access map, and targeted
regressions.

## Verification

- Initial-head GitHub CI passed at
`5acd4c818be6f1764f8319f42891f9956c357c26`, including full build and
typecheck. Standard Greptile is 5/5 with no open threads. The first Apex
review scored 3/5 and found startup latency from remote proof lookups
and removal retry identity changes across provider capability changes.
Both corrections are pushed in `9d1a38df3d`, with the qualified
destination-ref length fix. Red regressions reproduced each issue.
Latest targeted checks passed: cleanup/worker 26, provider integration
41, SDK contract 8. Head `9d1a38df3d` passed standard and Apex reviews
at 5/5 with no open threads, plus all CI including full build/typecheck.
Canary Dry Run initially failed on an npm 404 fetching
`rollup-4.67.3.tgz`; the exact tarball subsequently returned HTTP 200,
and one targeted retry passed without source changes. Aggregate
verification also passed. After #18403 merged, master introduced
conflicts in shared workspace cleanup and metadata handling. Resolved
them in `7700832536`, preserving remote snapshot cleanup and Git
delivery-proof cleanup. Targeted merge verification: 93 tests passed in
the first run (59 opt-in skips), then all 16 remote lifecycle tests
passed with explicit database opt-in; map checks passed. The isolated
database is stopped. The merge head received standard review 5/5. Its CI
found two failures in unchanged test cleanup paths: native runtime
temporary-directory ENOTEMPTY and agent-chat cancellation lock timeout.
Those failures remain recorded and require successful final-head
verification. The subsequent project-consent change has targeted
coverage: authorization36, resolver33 and cleanup19 tests passed,
including revoked consent, anonymous public access and source-binding
races. The positive consent test failed before the fix. Current head
`c772679e05` has green GitHub CI, including full build/typecheck and
both previously failing test jobs, plus standard Greptile 5/5 with no
open threads. Neither cleanup failure required changes to its test path.
Apex also completed at 5/5 on this exact head (check `124651548532`,
summary updated 2026-10-31 20:45 UTC), with no open review threads. The
PR remains draft. Earlier failures remain recorded above.

- Final focused run on the rebased branch: **182 tests passed across six
files**, covering the resolver, delivery cleanup, provider bridge,
finalization notifications, existing workspace service and SDK
contracts. The disposable test database was stopped afterward.
- Targeted resolver tests: 33 passed. These cover ancestry, discovered
squash PRs, wrong HEAD/base/repository, removed integration commits,
bounded responses, cancellation and credential isolation.
- Targeted cleanup integration tests: 17 passed. Provider bridge
integration: 36 passed. SDK contract tests: 7 passed. Finalization
notification tests: 9 passed.
- A negative control that removed the final delivery check failed the
race regression as expected. The check was restored.
- Read-only live GitHub probe: the new resolver discovered PR #18410
from HEAD `3f5ade4cd42b707040e9a82fdaed343e3d736a09`, without PR hints.
It proved integration commit `6484f96c28bfb11a793ce4be6cc5ac15643a5a02`
reachable from observed master
`5bc029bf6c1db6647e96acea323f3723fd1d3eba`. GitHub also advertised the
exact original HEAD at `refs/pull/18410/head`.
- `node scripts/check-maps.mjs` passed. Structural checks do not prove
deployment behavior.
- Local tests are targeted by user request. Full build, typecheck and
test suite run in GitHub CI. A standalone server typecheck could not
complete because local Runner build declarations were absent; no
changed-file diagnostics were reported.
- Initial local execution hit a stalled pnpm wrapper, sandbox socket
denial and stale generated SDK declarations. Direct installed binaries,
the authorized isolated test database and rebuilt SDK resolved those
setup failures. No deployment was performed.

## Risks

- Destructive cleanup still requires fresh storage safety and lifecycle
checks. Remote proof alone never authorizes removal. A persisted removal
intent preserves existing recovery semantics.
- Legacy workspaces without an unambiguous destination or completion
HEAD remain retained. This does not guess the original default branch.
- Private repositories use the explicit standing GitHub consent on the
bound source project, with current membership, grant, repository access
and trust checks. No separate company token is required when that
consent is valid. Missing or revoked consent and unavailable or
rate-limited access retain storage; the worker does not borrow a task or
agent identity.
- A known undelivered commit keeps the existing five-minute retry
because external GitHub changes have no guaranteed ingress to this lane.
This can keep cleanup scheduled. Missing evidence parks instead.
- Providers need the new recovery capability to clean a squash merge
whose original HEAD is reachable only through its PR ref. Providers
without it remain conservative.
- The resolver currently supports GitHub.com. Existing local and
other-provider ancestry paths stay in place.

parallel code agents. The exact runtime model ID and context-window size
were not exposed to this session.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 6174b4d7c8 fix(runner): allow session reset after confirmed task retirement (#18373)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Native warm sessions retain a Runner owner between turns.
> - Closing that owner must stop execution and preserve valid recovery
state.
> - A failed suspension can leave a rejected close promise after the
task has stopped.
> - A session reset then retries that same promise and blocks every
fresh session.
> - This PR separates task retirement proof from checkpoint reuse for a
new session.
> - A reset can proceed after exact stop proof, completed handoff, and
file collection.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18011. That change preserves checkpoint authority during warm
preparation. This change handles a stopped owner whose checkpoint cannot
be reused. Related: #14695 covers managed files retained with warm
processes. A search found no duplicate stopped-owner reset fix.

**What happened?**

A warm Runner can stop and complete its task handoff while close reports
`runner did not durably suspend before checkpoint`. The transport caches
that rejected close promise. Core retains the warm owner. Each session
reset retries the same promise before it can launch a provider. A
controller restart clears the in-memory owner and permits recovery.

**Expected behavior**

A reset to a new normalized session should release the old owner when
its exact task has proved that execution stopped and its handoff
completed. Core must collect stopped instruction files before it admits
the new session. An unconfirmed owner must continue to block
replacement.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Complete a warm native run through a plugin task provider.
2. Change configuration so Core retires the warm owner.
3. Let the task stop and complete, but fail durable suspension proof.
Close keeps its rejected promise.
4. Reset the session and start another run on the same task environment.
5. Observe the old close error before any new provider work starts.

## What Changed

- Keep a lease-bound retirement receipt in the plugin task owner. It
requires `executionStopped: true` and successful task completion after
credential handoff.
- Accept an unrecoverable suspension error only during retirement for a
different normalized session, with that exact owner's receipt and
settled Core tool results.
- Collect stopped instruction files before releasing the warm owner.
Preserve old checkpoint evidence.
- Keep same-session, active-owner, incomplete-handoff, unrelated-owner,
unresolved Core tool results, and other close-error fences.
- Report Core tool settlement on the close error after ingress
retirement and drain. Default missing proof to false. Expose the error
through the server's Runner shim. Add regression tests and document the
recovery boundary.

## Verification

- The reset regression fails with the new handling disabled and passes
with it enabled.
- Both affected suites passed: 1,032 tests. The final 15 focused
owner/reset cases pass after adding the tool-settlement guard.
- The assembled regression uses the real task-owner and backend binding.
Its controlled task provider proves stop and completion. Close returns
the same rejected promise on every call.
- Negative cases cover incomplete handoff, other close errors,
same-session continuation, provider change with the same session ID,
unrelated receipts, unresolved Core tool results, and failed file
collection. Collection can later succeed without replaying stop or
reading the old checkpoint.
- Five real-process transport cases pass. They cover an insufficient
suspension deadline, the cached rejected promise, late tool completion
within and beyond the deadline, interruption, and result-persistence
failure. Unsettled callbacks produce `semanticToolsSettled: false`.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed with the repository's pinned Rust toolchain
on PATH. After the final contract change, Runner TypeScript build and
server `tsc --noEmit` passed.
- The local full-suite run was stopped at the requester's direction.
Full regression and build coverage are delegated to GitHub CI.
- Full GitHub CI passed on `ef0040d80af679ce6d4a130468e15f75678c1f4c`.
Standard Greptile reviewed the same commit: 5/5, zero comments. Apex
then reviewed that same commit: 5/5, zero comments. Final checks confirm
no unresolved review threads and no merge conflicts.
- Initial full CI on `00c002fd5a` failed one scheduled-retry route test
at 18/20 cancellations. Controlled cancellation latency reproduced the
short poll-budget failure. Before the next cycle, master advanced with
#18322, which coordinates that test at the first completed batch. The
separate local timeout commit was dropped during rebase. The upstream
test passes locally. The rebased run passed 46 targeted owner/reset and
scheduled-retry route cases. This PR has no scheduled-retry source or
test diff.
- No deployed provider run or tenant rollout is claimed by these source
tests.

## Risks

The exception applies only to a new normalized session and an exact
completed plugin task. The old checkpoint remains evidence and cannot
authorize reuse through this path. The original suspension failure can
remain visible on its run. This fix prevents repeated startup failures
after a reset; it does not hide unconfirmed cleanup or make every
suspension succeed. Missing task receipts and failed file collection
continue to block replacement. No schema migration, plugin protocol
change, Rust Runner binary change, or new polling is required. Tests use
a controlled task boundary; they do not certify every external provider
implementation.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with tool use and local code execution. The
exact runtime model ID and context-window size are not exposed in this
session.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 247de89eae fix(runner): preserve warm tasks during recovery (#18169)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent work and the lifetime of its execution
resources.
> - A warm native task can keep one Runner alive between successful
turns.
> - Foreground completion selects whether that resource stays running or
stops.
> - Background recovery must use the same selected policy.
> - Recovery currently reads that policy only from workspace copy-back
records.
> - A task without such a record can be stopped immediately after
foreground retention.
> - This pull request saves the resource policy with the native runtime
and permits the retained task to refresh its control connection.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Background native finalization can stop a successful warm Runner when
its run has no Core workspace-sync record. Foreground completion retains
that same task. The stopped Runner cannot receive the later drain and
suspend commands. Cold resume then correctly rejects its unproven
checkpoint.

Hosted diagnostics confirmed the recovery reconciler attempted
environment release immediately after foreground retention. The provider
connection returned HTTP 404 within the same second. A database-backed
regression reproduced the stop without a workspace-sync record.

A separate authorization gap also prevents the current retained task
from refreshing its connection endpoint after the run succeeds.

**Expected behavior**

Foreground completion and recovery must use the selected resource
policy. A successful warm task stays running until its idle shutdown can
suspend it. Failed or cancelled work still stops. The current retained
task can refresh its existing control route, but cannot prepare or
submit new execution.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Select a warm native runtime on a reusable remote execution
environment.
2. Complete a turn without a Core workspace-sync record.
3. Let native finalization recovery settle the still-active run lease
before foreground retention finishes.
4. Before this change, recovery defaults to `stop_and_retain` and
invokes the provider stop path.
5. Separately, request the retained task's connection endpoint after
successful completion. Before this change, Core rejects that request.

**Paperclip version/commit**

The hosted failure used Core 31b927e301.
Regressions also reproduced on master at 6d59f5ef7.

**Deployment mode**

A remote native execution environment with reusable warm tasks. The
resource policy is generic and applies across harnesses and providers.

Related recovery coverage: Refs #18161. This change preserves the
suspended-checkpoint admission guard. Existing tasks without the newly
saved policy retain the previous conservative fallback; deployments must
drain or recover them explicitly.

## What Changed

- Save the selected native resource disposition in the existing
runtime-selection transaction. Add no startup database round trip or
network request.
- Read this small policy in background settlement and recovery when no
workspace-sync record exists. Preserve valid workspace-sync policies and
export-retry behavior.
- Keep failed and cancelled runs out of warm retention.
- Permit connection refresh for a successful, dispatched warm task on
its current retained reusable lease. Keep retirement, termination,
expiry, saved-run identity, and plugin capability checks.
- Add database-backed retention and selection regressions,
failure/cancellation coverage, and bounded projection checks. Document
the lifecycle and access contracts.

## Verification

- Before the source edits, the no-workspace-sync regression invoked the
driver with `stop_and_retain` instead of retaining the lease. Both
runtime-selection cases failed because the resource policy was absent.
- After the source edits, those regressions and both
run-state/runtime-selection files passed. The three-file run had 77
passes and two new fixture expectation failures. Those fixtures were
corrected. Final-head GitHub CI passed, including the server suites,
Runner checks, typecheck, build, and E2E gates. The local rerun was
deferred at the user's request.
- Commands: `node_modules/.bin/vitest run
server/src/__tests__/native-environment-settlement-work.test.ts
server/src/services/heartbeat/runtime-selection.test.ts
server/src/services/heartbeat/run-state.test.ts`.
- The connection authorization regression failed before its edit. All 34
tests in `server/src/__tests__/environment-task-runtime.test.ts` then
passed.
- `node scripts/check-maps.mjs` and `git diff --check` passed.
- No comprehensive local suite was run. Further local tests and VM
reproductions were stopped at the user's request to conserve battery and
mobile data. GitHub CI verifies the final head.
- Hosted verification of this patch requires deployment after merge.
Passing pre-patch retries did not establish repair of the original
failure.

- Standard Greptile and the subsequent requested Apex review both
returned **5/5** on `360bcd7e789d65950c27484af237faec02553666`, with no
inline findings.

## Risks

- This adds one server-owned field to the existing run profile JSON; no
migration is required. Invalid or absent policy keeps the previous
conservative fallback.
- Valid workspace-sync disposition remains authoritative. Pending export
and failed finalization still use stop-and-retain safety behavior.
- Retained connection access requires a successful run, matching saved
run identity, dispatched warm task, unexpired reusable lease, and no
retirement or termination. Superseded leases and new execution remain
denied.
- The cold-resume checkpoint proof is unchanged. This patch does not
make the already-stopped task's unsuspended checkpoint resumable.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, tool use, and code
execution. The host does not expose a more specific serving model ID or
context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 09ad9adce2 feat(server): adopt running remote agents through durable controller checkpoints (#17439)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip must keep admitted remote work alive while its main server
is replaced.
> - Runner owns recovery mechanics and exposes opaque checkpoints
through #17097.
> - The server owns company scope, encryption, Stop, tool authority and
execution ownership.
> - A successor must prove current ownership before it adopts the
original execution.
> - Checkpoint bursts must also leave capacity for normal requests and
lease renewal.
> - This PR persists and adopts that authority through the existing
runtime boundaries.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Remote agents retain the original execution during a bounded main-server
outage.

**Current behavior**

A server restart can lose the controller's local state and connection.
An unsafe replacement could repeat a turn or an uncertain mutation.
Checkpoint writes in the request pool can also delay ordinary requests
during an aligned burst.

**Proposed behavior**

Restore encrypted control records from Postgres and adopt the original
runner under a fenced lease. Recover known tool receipts through current
tool authority. Give control checkpoints a shared pool capped at two
connections per database owner.

Depends on #17097. Successors are #17455 and #17456. Qualification and
presentation remain separate review slices.

## What Changed

- Add company/run-bound encrypted checkpoint records and migration 0394.
Keep the SQL idempotent after renumbering against current master.
- Recover startup and expired ownership through native runtime and
heartbeat. Preserve the sandbox lease, admitted runner artifact, harness
configuration, native session and active turn.
- Keep Stop, finalization, preparation ownership and stale-writer
fencing transactional. Preserve graceful detach and natural crash
takeover.
- Recover committed tool receipts through the existing authority.
Reauthorize reads and hold uncertain mutations.
- Bound startup retention with the existing coordinator and preserve
zero idle scans.
- Share at most two checkpoint connections per database client. Keep
application and liveness capacity separate. Close the checkpoint pool
during shutdown; late writes cannot reopen it.
- Count SQL across both application and checkpoint clients. Prove
request/liveness progress, command recovery and failure after pool
shutdown with real Postgres.

## Verification

Project creation recovery now uses the existing project activity receipt
owner. It retains authenticated input normalization, fingerprint checks
and current run authority after the receipt lock. An absent receipt
returns no result before mutation. The new lost-HTTP-response and
no-effect regression uses real API routes and Postgres. The seven
transport cases pass locally. This Mac skips all 20 database cases. On
current source `5de803c2cd`, Linux [job
122593415890](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40620576702/job/122593415890)
executes all 20 project-tool cases successfully (9.480 seconds),
including the committed-project lost-response regression. Its shard
passes 1,627 cases with three unrelated skips. Server typecheck passes.
The transport regression initially has two failures; a subsequent
incorrect expectation about schema defaults was corrected before the
final pass. Ordinary execution adds no checkpoint writes or recurring
work.

Current candidate `5de803c2cd` includes the project-creation receipt
recovery fix and master `2cd747d1b6`. Migration 0394 retains the prior
idempotent checkpoint DDL. Every master SQL file and journal entry is
preserved. Snapshots 0390–0394, migration checks and server typecheck
pass.

The ordinary warm-turn regression fails on its second turn before
`a219ab51ad`. After correction, three completed warm turns select the
correct prior checkpoint and preserve the original session. All 288
provider-wiring cases pass. The control plane, external persistence
callback, identity rotation and filesystem are real; the backend and
database-load seam are scripted. The 13 warm admission/configuration
variants also pass after final master integration. This does not qualify
an underlying harness.

At current source `5de803c2cd`, Linux [job
122593415907](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40620576702/job/122593415907)
passes all 940 native-session-executor cases (61.431 seconds), including
the warm external-checkpoint behavior; the shard passes 2,358 cases with
one skip. Current [Runner job
122593415475](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40620576702/job/122593415475)
passes the native recovery lane: 115 passes and five container-only
skips, including the encrypted restore guard, fresh preparation (63.189
seconds), blocked claim lock (1.226 seconds) and recovery beyond 101
blocked owners (3.897 seconds). The first lane passes 2,215 cases with
one skip. The SQL cost test reports zero idle and streaming SQL for both
output volumes; this is component evidence, not a production capacity
claim. At prior candidate `1ff7bb44f4`, Linux job 122549307215 passes
all 938 native-executor cases, including the three-turn
external-checkpoint regression. Job 122549306469 passes the native
recovery lane with 115 passes and five container-only skips, including
the encrypted-restore session guard, fresh preparation (63.664 seconds),
claim-lock contention (3.961 seconds), and 101-owner recovery (3.824
seconds). This Mac skips the real-Postgres suite. The earlier full local
executor attempt has 921 passes and 16 failures during embedded-Postgres
initialization before assertions. The original fixture collisions and
their corrections remain recorded.

At earlier candidate `8fbe62b41d`, server shard job 122535673841 has
3,876 passes, one failure and one skip in an unchanged expiry-worker
retry/drain timing test. The same server/database tree on qualification
source `b64cac6951` passes all 20 expiry cases and all 3,877 shard
cases. The single diagnostic retry, job 122541891915, passes all 20
expiry cases and all 3,877 shard cases (one skip). No assertion was
weakened. The original failure remains recorded and its exact timing
race is not proven. All Actions checks and legacy status passed on
`8fbe62b41d`, with completed Greptile 5/5 and no open feedback. The next
candidate `1ff7bb44f4` also passed all Actions checks and Greptile 5/5.
Its Paperclip Review remained queued before the new master conflict
required integration. The new candidate needs fresh exact-head CI and
reviews; old checks do not qualify it. Migration generation is
checkpoint-only, all master SQL and journal entries remain unchanged,
and migration checks, server typecheck and all 13 warm-owner variants
pass after integration. The first migration check was blocked by TSX
sandbox IPC; its permitted repeat passes. The first warm-test command
used an incorrect path and ran no tests; the corrected command supplies
the 13-case receipt.

All 16 database pool-lifetime/options/teardown cases pass after granting
loopback permission; the first batch had two EPERM failures and 14
passes. Earlier semantic-tool/HTTP recovery, adoption, encryption-batch,
zero-streaming-write and idle-SQL receipts remain source-attributed in
the [qualification
record](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/2ff66f57da0da35bac1c19a2366ea4b84d87a986/doc/plans/2026-10-22-hot-upgrade-qualification.md).
That record retains earlier assertion, setup and cleanup failures and
their corrections. No failed gate is waived.

The historical 300-session component campaign passes four after phases:
steady read p99 is 107–108 ms at 500 reads/s and 100 writes/s;
aligned-burst read p99 is 103–105 ms after the bounded pool, versus
584–689 ms before. This comparison isolates the persistence corrections.
It does not measure the final stack's hosted active-agent capacity. The
hosted zero-agent API pair leaves SQL and CPU essentially unchanged, but
both arms fail absolute latency gates and candidate peak cgroup memory
fails its gate. The active-agent/viewer matrix, different-artifact
upgrade and rollback remain open.

Run `PAPERCLIP_TEST_DATABASE_URL=<owned-disposable-postgres> pnpm
--filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts`.

Previous head `f2db8a6568` had one failed workspace setup gate: [job
122555672441](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40608984238/job/122555672441)
passes all 4,169 UI tests and 285 CLI cases (one skip), but the company
import/export suite reaches its 30-second health deadline during doctor
startup. Its output does not reach the server-start step. The CLI,
server, database, shared, adapter and plugin trees are identical on
qualification source `a866619d7b`, whose [job
122555886663](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40609057937/job/122555886663)
passes that fixture and all 286 CLI cases. The one diagnostic retry,
[job
122561057225](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40608984238/job/122561057225),
passes the formerly failing fixture and all 286 CLI cases. All Actions
checks and legacy status on `f2db8a6568` pass. Its exact-head Greptile
completed at 5/5 with no open feedback. The current integrated head
requires fresh checks and a completed Paperclip Review before merge. The
original failure remains recorded; its exact timing cause is unproven. A
repeated failure requires investigation and repair rather than another
retry.

All current-head CI, legacy status, exact-head completed Greptile 5/5,
resolved feedback and ordinary GitHub merge eligibility remain required
before merge.

The latest integration preserves master’s published Copilot v70 profiles
and every published migration. Checkpoint migration
`0394_conscious_whizzer.sql` was generated with `pnpm db:generate` and
retains the prior idempotent DDL. The Runner vendor rebuild and replay
parity checks pass. Server typecheck and all 13 warm-owner variants pass
after that rebuild. The imported report-lock patch is byte-identical to
master; its intentional patch-context whitespace is retained, and the
feature delta passes whitespace checks. No hosted experiment was run.

## Risks

The pool adds up to two active connections per instance, shared across
agents. Checkpoint delivery can wait behind that bound; it still
requires its commit. Steady component-test Postgres CPU rises by about
1.7 percentage points of a two-CPU allocation. These corrections do not
remove the stack's control and renewal writes. The migration and key
must survive replacement. Fresh-database tests and local load do not
establish different-artifact hosted upgrade or rollback continuity.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip a3e8fa568a Reduce repeated work during plugin Runner admission (#17377)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents and their execution authority.
> - A plugin can host Runner tasks on a persistent execution host.
> - Admission checks must observe current lifecycle state and
credentials.
> - The current runtime reader also resolves files, skills, and
connections for each check.
> - Some providers also repeat the same project authentication check
during submit.
> - This pull request adds a compact fresh reader and an explicit
submit-time validation contract.
> - Providers can remove repeated work while Core keeps lease and scope
checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Plugin Runner startup before task submission.

**Current behavior**

One measured startup made 30 full runtime reads during bootstrap. These
reads took 5.759 seconds. Each guard can resolve instructions, skills,
and connection assignments even when it only needs current identity and
lifecycle state. Providers that already enforce project authentication
in submit must also perform a separate Core preflight.

**Proposed behavior**

Use a lifecycle-owned runtime identity reader for guards. Keep the full
runtime reader for synchronization inputs. A trusted provider can
declare `projectAuthCheckAtSubmit: true` in its prepared result. Core
pins the exact configuration, provider, and project set on the lease.
The provider must reject authentication conflicts before credential
installation or task start. Providers that omit the flag retain the
existing preflight.

**Reason and benefit**

Estimated savings with a paired consumer: 4–5 seconds from compact
runtime checks, plus roughly 0.5–0.9 seconds from removing the duplicate
authentication operation. These estimates overlap and are not a measured
deployed result. Refs #17367 for the separate run-log HEAD optimization;
this PR does not duplicate it.

**Breaking changes**

No migration. The SDK adds a host method and an optional prepared-result
field. Consumers that use them require this Core host version. Older
providers retain their existing flow.

## What Changed

- Add `agents.getRuntimeIdentity` across SDK, RPC, host service, and
test fixtures.
- Reuse the existing company, plugin ownership, readiness, and
capability checks. Read lifecycle state and protected instance secrets
fresh on every call.
- Skip instruction, organization, skill, and connection hydration in the
compact reader.
- Allow explicit submit-time authentication enforcement, with prepared
scope pinned and checked again at dispatch.
- Emit fixed preparation, project-auth, submit, and connection timing
phases.

## Verification

- 72 targeted SDK capability, plugin task-owner, and environment-task
mediator tests passed.
- 33 real embedded-Postgres lifecycle and secret tests passed, including
pause, content revision, company isolation, plugin disablement, and
secret rotation.
- SDK and server TypeScript checks passed. Local Runner/eval TypeScript
outputs were built to satisfy server type resolution.
- Local Postgres required missing library aliases in ignored
dependencies; no product source was changed for that repair.
- Full repository suites are delegated to GitHub CI. No live rollout or
speedup claim.

## Risks

The submit-time flag delegates enforcement to a trusted provider. It is
not proof that prepare already checked authentication. The provider must
check before VM credential installation or task admission. Core still
checks exact prepared scope, active lease, run identity, credential
type, and dispatch fencing. Existing providers keep the separate check.
Roll back a paired consumer before rolling back this host.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 (Codex), with code execution and repository tools. Exact
deployment build and context-window size are not exposed.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip a708a13336 Separate plugin workspace completion from maintenance inspection (#17329)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Storage plugins own remote task workspaces.
> - Run completion currently requests the same inspection used for
storage cleanup.
> - That inspection can fetch remote refs and scan files after the agent
has finished.
> - Completion needs retained workspace identity and durable writes, not
permission to delete files.
> - This change adds an optional completion operation and keeps
maintenance inspection separate.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A successful plugin-backed run can fail during completion because the
storage provider performs a slow remote-recoverability inspection. Dirty
or unpublished output does not need a deletion-safety proof to remain
valid task output.

**Expected behavior**

Completion verifies the assigned workspace and confirms durable writes
through the provider. Cleanup still requires the existing full
inspection.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run a task with plugin-owned storage whose inspection fetches remote
refs. Let the agent finish, then observe completion waiting for the
maintenance inspection.

Related context: #16428 added finalization observability. The duplicate
search found no existing PR for this provider contract.

## What Changed

- Add optional `workspaceProvider.finalizationVersion: 1` and strict
`finalize` / `finalized` schemas.
- Pass original run and agent context through live completion and
recovered completion.
- Give the new operation a 30-second deadline and keep ownership checks
and lifecycle serialization.
- Retain the inspection fallback for providers without the capability.
Keep maintenance inspection and removal unchanged.

## Verification

- SDK build passed.
- Targeted SDK and completion unit tests: 7 passed.
- Added integration coverage for capability selection, legacy fallback,
maintenance separation, and failure propagation.
- Local integration setup timed out starting PostgreSQL; the integration
suite passed in GitHub CI.
- Full build/typecheck and broader tests passed in GitHub CI (55
successful checks, 2 skipped). Local checks remained targeted as
requested.
- Diff reviewed for secrets and operational identifiers.

## Risks

The capability is opt-in. Providers must not advertise it until their
completion implementation is available. An unavailable provider or
failed durability barrier remains retryable. No schema or stored-binding
migration is required.

Test-file size exception: the provider integration suite grows from 973
to 1,002 lines. The 29-line case follows the same prepared binding
through legacy completion, opted-in completion, and maintenance
inspection using the existing single-connection database fixture.
Keeping it there avoids a second embedded-Postgres lifecycle for one
transition test. The completion helper unit tests are in a separate
focused file.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 Codex, with reasoning and code/test tools.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 00331e0254 Connect native Runner admission to plugin-owned workspaces (#16978)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages work for AI agents.
> - A plugin can own an execution environment and its files.
> - #17029 supplies the task driver and bounded setup verification.
> - Heartbeat still prepares workspace files on Core and expects a shell
transport.
> - This PR gives the selected plugin ownership of workspace preparation
and native task execution.
> - Core keeps admission, tool authority, and recovery checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Heartbeat workspace admission and native Runner execution.

**Problem or motivation**

A task-only plugin cannot run through Core filesystem staging or shell
execution. Native admission and recovery must use the same lease and
workspace ownership.

**Proposed solution**

Use the task driver from #17029. Resolve workspace and project
identities without Core file operations. Connect native dispatch and
restart recovery to that driver.

**Alternatives considered**

Keep workspace admission and dispatch in one change. A workspace change
alone would leave dispatch on the previous transport. An execution
change alone would leave Core staging files for the wrong host.

## What Changed

- Enable plugin environment selection for native workspace sessions.
- Resolve workspace metadata and authorized project references without
Core checkout, copy, or provision operations.
- Preserve agent-default and primary workspace policies. Use the pinned
workspace provider for plugin-backed project storage. Reject unsupported
Core service commands and cross-owner reuse.
- Connect native execution to the prepared task driver. Keep assigned
MCP authority on Core.
- Save exact checkpoint identity, transfer selected account refreshes,
and require termination proof before replacement or cleanup.
- Complete managed plugin workspaces through their storage provider. Use
the same check after a restart. Keep branch validation and leave
task-owned files on the plugin.
- Include default instruction content in runtime synchronization when no
instruction directory exists.
- Defer new-agent Copilot verification until the saved-agent lifecycle
can acquire the agent-owned computer.

## Verification

- Rebased onto `origin/master` at `898144f4b3`. Master advanced once
during verification. Both manual conflicts joined import blocks: one in
`native-session-executor.ts`, and one in
`heartbeat/runtime-execution.ts`. The seven patches retain their logic.
The first rebased head passed repository typecheck, build, all 862
focused execution/finalizer cases, and all CI gates. The latest head
`93e5a72892` passes server typecheck and all 880 focused execution,
finalization, and execution-control notification tests. All 54 CI/review
checks pass, with two expected skips. Greptile ran automatically and
scored this head 5/5 with no unresolved findings. No new review or Apex
request was made for these import-only resolutions.
- The successful CI workflow initially left three stale job-check
reports. Targeted policy and summary reruns cleared the reports. No
source change or test fix was needed.
- Repository typecheck and build pass: `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm
build`.
- Focused native execution and restart tests pass: 795 cases. The
account and harness suites pass: 159 cases. Workspace admission passes:
48 cases. The SDK task lifecycle, workspace API, runtime-hook, and
instruction checks also pass.
- The heartbeat integration case uses the merged workspace provider
contract and reaches native dispatch with no project files on Core. The
new-agent case confirms that creation leaves the agent in `preparing`
until lifecycle verification.
- Map validation and the Copilot source-identity check pass. No Runner
implementation or source-identity bump is in this PR.
- The first rebased workspace run found two stale path assertions and a
recovery guard that did not recognize task-owned targets. These are
fixed. The storage integration fixture also needed its persisted source
binding; the production authorization check stays in place.
- Two prior review findings required rejection of Core service startup
and cross-owner workspace reuse. The existing admission fixtures now
check both failures. The installed-account authentication finding was
fixed in merged #17029.
- Tests reuse the current fixtures. No new provider test matrix or live
Runner process is added for these fixes.
- The prior head `2db273ec12` passed CI on its first attempt and reached
standard Greptile 5/5. Apex scored 4/5 and found local-folder checks
during plugin completion and recovery.
- The completion fix reproduces both failures. It passes all 110 cases
in the runtime execution, workspace finalizer, and workspace provider
integration suites. Server typecheck and map checks pass. CI passed on
`62d8335b4e` on its first attempt, and standard Greptile scored 5/5. The
next Apex review scored 4/5. It found that a failed plugin inspection
could abort restart recovery.
- The restart fix records a failed workspace receipt and uses the
current run retry policy. A regression first reproduced the aborted
pass. It now checks retry state, retained results, and completion of
another workspace in the same pass. All 68 finalizer cases and server
typecheck pass. CI passed on `7d4016323b` on its first attempt. Standard
Greptile and Apex both scored 5/5. Apex left one P2 about lost failure
codes.
- The diagnostic fix keeps the known branch and owner mismatch codes in
receipts and run recovery state. It gives repair guidance for those
codes and keeps unknown plugin errors generic. All 96 affected finalizer
cases and server typecheck pass. Before the rebase, required CI passed
on `c2fa61c6c8` on its first attempt. Standard Greptile and Apex both
scored 5/5 on that head, with no unresolved findings. The new head
retains these reviewed patches.
- The earlier Superagent scan on `c2fa61c6c8` was inconclusive after a
pinned merge-base checkout failed or timed out. The current scan on
`93e5a72892` passes.
- The exact rebased head passes all 48 workspace cases and server
typecheck. The first local test launch could not bind PostgreSQL inside
the sandbox. The authorized local-server run passed.
- The prior head reached standard Greptile 5/5. Its first CI run hit an
unchanged Runner cleanup timeout and an external build-runner shutdown.
Both jobs passed on the single retry. The timeout cause is not
established.
- A local regression check found that a retained Core workspace could
also enter a plugin task without file transfer. Core now rejects this
move before provider work. The existing ledger test covers both
directions and confirms that the source files stay intact.
- The first active standard review scored 4/5. It found that a fresh
plugin retry could enter Core Git preparation. This mode now uses the
existing unsupported-storage error before workspace resolution or
acquisition. Both unsupported-mode cases pass, and server typecheck
passes.
- No live Cloud or provider validation was run.

## Risks

- The prerequisite #17029 is merged. This PR targets master.
- Native plugin tasks support per-turn workspace sessions. Core service
commands and fresh retries that import retained files remain
unsupported. A workspace storage plugin can use the modes and strategies
it declares.
- Core-managed credentials support Codex and direct Claude accounts.
Other managed credential routes fail closed. Other harnesses can use an
installed account.
- A provider must preserve its prepared configuration and report process
termination correctly. Uncertain termination keeps the task pending
cleanup.
- Cloud deployment and live provider validation remain separate.

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6. The exact model ID and context window are not
exposed in this session. Tool use includes code editing, local tests,
