DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 612cc7e3e6 fix(heartbeat): renew every legacy controller lease in one shared statement (#20924)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A legacy run holds a durable controller lease while it prepares. The
server renews the lease every 10 seconds, and it stops the run if no
renewal succeeds within the 60 second lease.
> - Each run renewed in its own transaction on a private pool of two
connections. Each renewal used six round trips (begin, statement
timeout, transaction id, notify, update, commit) and woke live-run
recovery for that run.
> - When many runs prepare at the same time on a loaded database, the
renewals queue behind each other. The queue grows with the number of
runs, and every run loses its lease at about the same time.
> - A healthy server must not fail its own runs because it has many of
them.
> - This pull request renews all leases of one server process through
one shared queue. Requests that arrive while a renewal is in flight
share the next statement.
> - The benefit is that the renewal cost no longer grows with the number
of live runs, so a burst cannot starve the lease.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
On a staging server that did not restart, 22 runs failed with
`controller_lease_lost` in about 13 minutes. Every run was a legacy run
in the `preparing` stage with `providerWorkStarted: false`. Every loss
had cause `renewal_deadline`. The renewal had been pending 28 to 48
seconds (`renewalPendingMs`). The deadline callback ran on time
(`deadlineLateMs` 3 to 861 ms), so the event loop was not blocked. The
successful renewals before the loss had each taken 20 to 30 seconds,
because the deadline fired only 25 to 48 seconds after the last renewal
(`sinceRenewalMs`). About 30 runs were live in the process. The first
wave started when a user retried about 14 blocked tasks at once. The
automatic retries of the first wave then failed the same way, which made
the second wave. 12 of 16 affected tasks became blocked.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start about 30 legacy runs in one server process.
2. Make each renewal transaction slow (for example, a loaded database).
3. Wait one lease period.

**Expected behavior**
The leases stay owned. The renewal cost does not grow with the number of
runs.

**Actual behavior**
All runs fail with `controller_lease_lost` (`renewal_deadline`).

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/legacy-controller-lease.ts`: All controllers of
one process renew through one queue per database. One flush is in flight
at a time. Requests that arrive during a flush share the next flush, so
a renewal waits behind at most one other statement. A flush is one
transaction on the private lease pool: `statement_timeout` and one
statement that renews all requested rows.
- The statement locks the requested rows with `for update skip locked`.
A row that another transaction holds is reported busy, and only that run
retries after 250 ms. It does not stall the other runs in the batch. A
row that is not this boot's live legacy lease is reported rejected, as
before.
- Renewal no longer emits the `active-execution-recovery` notification.
A renewal only moves the deadline later. Recovery already has a deadline
at the earlier expiry and rereads the moved deadline then. This removes
one recovery pass, `pg_current_xact_id` and `pg_notify` per renewal.
- The lease contract does not change: 60 second lease, 10 second
renewal, boot-id fence, expired leases cannot renew, the local deadline
is measured from the attempt start, and the loss causes and timings are
the same.
- `doc/run-log-events.md`: Documents the shared renewal queue.

Upgrade story: no persisted shape changes. The row columns, lease length
and boot-id fence are the same. A lease held by the previous release has
a different boot id, so the new batch rejects it and leaves it
untouched. A test covers a previous-release lease in the same batch.

## Verification

- Red on `origin/master`, green with this change:
- `keeps thirty preparing controllers owned when every renewal takes
four seconds on a two-connection pool`: before, all 30 controllers lost
the lease with `renewal_deadline` (the staging shape). After, none lose
it.
- `renews fifteen concurrent controllers in one statement` (real
Postgres): before, 15 update statements. After, 1.
- `renews through one private statement without waking live-run
recovery`: before, the renewal woke `active-execution-recovery`. After,
it does not.
- `live-recovery-work.test.ts` `renews without waking recovery and
re-reads the moved controller deadline at the old one`: before, 2
recovery passes per renewal. After, none, and recovery still moves to
the new deadline at the old one.
- Safety cases: a row lock on one run does not delay another run; a
previous-release lease in the same batch stays untouched; a terminated
lease connection is retried; existing deadline, retry, rejection and
revocation tests pass.
- `npx vitest run src/services/legacy-controller-lease.test.ts
src/__tests__/live-recovery-work.test.ts`: 88 passed.
- `pnpm verify`: see the CI checks on this head.

## Risks

- Medium-low. All renewals of a process now share one statement. A
failed flush fails every request in it; each watcher retries
independently, as it did before.
- A busy row is retried every 250 ms until the lease deadline. Before,
the renewal waited on the row lock for up to the statement timeout. The
loss behavior is the same.
- Recovery wakes at the old lease expiry instead of after each renewal.
It finds the live lease and moves to the new expiry.
- Not in scope: the downstream workspace recovery that blocked tasks
after a lost lease (`legacy_execution_requires_reconciliation`,
`source_unavailable`).

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 c1edb9ec02 fix(native): keep an unreachable remote Runner alive when a failed run closes (#20923)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs on a remote sandbox (Daytona) start a detached
`paperclip-runnerd`. After a recoverable failure, the server resumes the
same run and reattaches to that Runner
> - On staging, `runner_remote_process_identity_unavailable` was the
most frequent failure. The tasks stayed blocked until someone clicked
Retry
> - In 31 of the 34 failed runs the reattachment found the Runner gone
with an unsettled `ready` journal (`runnerSettled: false`). The Runner
was not lost by accident. The controller's own close stopped it with
`SIGKILL`: close could not prove suspension within its 10 s budget, so
it force-stopped the Runner in the middle of a turn
> - The server then scheduled a same-run reattachment that could never
succeed, because the close had just removed the Runner it needed
> - This pull request keeps an unreachable remote Runner alive when a
failed run closes. A Stop, a cancelled turn and a `stop_cleanup`
recovery still stop it
> - The benefit is that the same-run reattachment finds the live Runner.
The Runner then settles into a `suspended` journal, which the existing
relaunch path resumes. The task continues without Retry, and no provider
work is replayed

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20853, #20907

**What happened?**
Remote native runs failed with
`runner_remote_process_identity_unavailable` and error code
`native_continuation_requires_reconciliation`. The tasks were left
blocked. In the failed runs the first attempt failed with a recoverable
transport error, for example `provider_transport_failed: PRP command
turn.start timed out`, `native_session_interrupted` or a server restart.
The run log then showed `runner did not prove durable suspension before
checkpoint` and `runner shutdown failed: Error: Durable recovery runner
timed out.` The second string comes from `waitForProcess`, which sends
`SIGKILL` when its deadline passes. The same-run reattachment ran 20–60
s later and reported `process_verification` / `process_not_running` with
`runnerLifecycle: ready` and `runnerSettled: false`. Most of these runs
had done provider work before the failure (turns and tool calls), so the
automatic Retry correctly refused them (`provider_turn_unsettled`).

**What did you expect to happen?**
When a run fails for a reason that the server resumes on the same run,
the close does not destroy the Runner that the reattachment needs. The
reattachment adopts it, and the run continues without Retry and without
a repeated tool effect.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a remote native run and let a turn start.
2. Make the Runner unreachable (a broken transport or a slow event
pump), so that the turn fails and the close cannot prove suspension
within its budget.
3. The close sends `SIGKILL` to the Runner. The same-run reattachment
then fails with `runner_remote_process_identity_unavailable`, and the
task is blocked.

**Relation to open PRs**
- #20853 covers the 3 runs whose journal was a settled `ready` cut
(`runnerSettled: true`). This PR does not change that path.
- #20907 makes the Runner's exit reason visible. It does not change
recovery. This PR does not overlap with it.

## What Changed

- `runnerd-codex-transport.ts`: `close(reason, {
retainUnsettledRemoteRunner })` accepts a new option. When the option is
set, the Runner is remote (a process launcher or an adopted Runner), the
close is not a `stop_cleanup`, the Runner is still alive and suspension
is not proven, the close does not stop the Runner. It skips the
`waitForProcess` kill, the adopted-runner `SIGKILL` and `forceKill`. It
still releases the controller route, writes the unsettled checkpoint and
throws `NativeSessionCloseUnrecoverableError`, so the session stays
quarantined and is never reused. The settlement diagnostic records
`runnerRetained: true`, and a new diagnostic records `remote runner left
alive unsettled for same-run reattachment`.
- `HarnessNativeSession.close` asks for retention only when the session
was not explicitly cancelled. After `cancel()` (Stop), it asks for the
old behavior, so Stop still stops the Runner.
- `CodexHarnessSession.close` passes the option to the transport.
`HarnessSession.close` and `CodexAppServerTransport.close` accept the
optional field. Callers that do not set it keep the old behavior.
- Docs: `doc/execution-semantics.md` and `doc/run-log-events.md`
describe the rule and the `runnerRetained` field.

How the run continues: the reattaching controller adopts the live
Runner. The Runner then completes the `runner.drain` and
`runner.suspend` that the failed close queued, and exits with a settled
`suspended` journal. That attempt fails as
`native_runner_process_exited`, which the server resumes on the same
run. The next reattachment finds the process gone with a settled
`suspended` journal and relaunches the Runner over it (the existing path
from #19745). If the Runner was only slow, it suspends by itself and the
first reattachment relaunches.

## Verification

- Red, on `master` with only the tests added:
`runnerd-codex-transport-remote-retention.test.ts` fails 2 of 5
(`expected 'gone' to be 'alive'`): the close killed the Runner.
`harness-driver-backend.test.ts -t "retain an unsettled"` fails 2 of 2.
- Green with the fix: `cd packages/paperclip-runner && npx vitest run
src/live/runnerd-codex-transport-remote-retention.test.ts
src/backends/harness-driver-backend.test.ts`.
- The staging shape: a real `paperclip-runnerd` started through a
process launcher, a turn in progress, the Runner frozen with `SIGSTOP`
during close. The close throws `NativeSessionCloseUnrecoverableError`
with `runnerRetained: true`, the Runner stays alive, and its journal
stays `ready`.
- A second controller attaches through `adoptExistingRunner` (no
duplicate launch). The Runner settles into `lifecycle: suspended` with
an empty outbox and no pending terminal delivery, then exits.
- An explicit cancellation, a caller that does not ask for retention,
and a `stop_cleanup` close still stop the Runner.
- Also run: `src/backends`, `src/drivers/codex`,
`src/drivers/acpx/codex-acpx-driver.test.ts`,
`src/drivers/acpx/codex-runtime-adapter.test.ts`,
`src/native-session-runtime.test.ts` (1045 tests pass; 2 `spawnSync
ETIMEDOUT` under full-parallel load pass alone), and all of `src/live/`
(files that timed out under full-parallel load pass at
`--maxWorkers=2`).
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p packages/paperclip-runner/tsconfig.json` is
clean.
- `pnpm verify` selects a broad plan (exit 2) because
`doc/execution-semantics.md` is a global CI input. CI supplies that
coverage.
- Not run: a live Daytona run. The fix is in the controller library that
runs on the server, so it needs no new Runner image.

## Risks

- Medium. A failed close now leaves an unreachable remote Runner alive
instead of killing it. This is the same state a restart detach leaves
today, and the same-run reattachment or a Stop cleanup owns it.
- If the server does not resume the run on the same Runner, the Runner
stays alive until something reattaches or the sandbox is released.
Remote Runners have no reconnect deadline
(`runnerProcessReconnectGraceMs: null`). Before this change they were
killed. The close still quarantines the session, so it is never released
for reuse.
- Stop is unchanged: an explicit cancellation, `settleCancelledTurn` and
`stop_cleanup` close without retention, so they still stop the Runner.
- Previous-release story: this change adds and changes no persisted
state. State that an older release left (a killed Runner with an
unsettled `ready` journal) keeps its current handling: the named refusal
`runner_remote_process_identity_unavailable` and a working Retry. Tasks
already blocked on staging keep their Retry button. A deploy during a
run changes nothing, because the decision is made in the closing
process.
- No wait is added before `turn.start`. The change only affects the
failure path of close.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 34f71f7d57 fix(server): defer a run that meets a busy agent directory instead of failing it (#20829)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Each run of an agent with managed agent files gets a private copy of
the agent directory. Remote copies serialize their prepare, checkpoint,
collect, and release operations through one Postgres advisory lock per
agent, taken with `pg_try_advisory_xact_lock`
> - When the lock is busy, the operation fails at once with "Agent
directory operation is already active"
> - On staging, a deploy restarted the controller while three runs of
the same agent were active. When one run resumed, another run of that
agent was checkpointing its directory. The resume failed, used its last
attempt, and the task became blocked with "Retry or send a message"
> - A run must not fail because another run of the same agent is briefly
using the agent directory
> - This pull request keeps the fail-fast lock and, when it is busy
during preparation, puts the same native run back on the existing
same-run retry schedule a few seconds later
> - The benefit is that lock contention delays a run by seconds instead
of ending it as failed

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A task's run failed with `native_continuation_requires_reconciliation`
and the error "Agent directory operation is already active". The task
was blocked and asked the user to retry. The same error ended at least
two other runs of the same agent within one day.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Use an agent with managed agent files in a remote sandbox.
2. Let one run of the agent checkpoint or collect its agent directory.
3. At the same time, let another run of the same agent prepare (for
example, a same-run resume after a controller restart).
4. The second run fails immediately with "Agent directory operation is
already active".

**Expected behavior**
The second run waits until the first operation is done, then continues.
It does not end as failed.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/agent-directory-working-copies.ts`: The busy lock
now throws `AgentDirectoryOperationBusyError`, still a 409 with the same
message. Lock behavior is unchanged from `master`: a fail-fast
`pg_try_advisory_xact_lock` held for the life of the holder's
transaction.
- `server/src/services/heartbeat/agent-directory-busy.ts`:
`prepareWithAgentDirectoryDeferral` wraps only instruction preparation
and turns the busy error into `AgentDirectoryPreparationDeferral`
("Another run of this agent is still using its files"). A busy lock met
while collecting files after a turn is not wrapped and keeps its
existing path.
- **Before native admission** (a brand-new run, such as the first run of
a task): `server/src/services/heartbeat/retries.ts`
`finalizeAgentDirectoryBusyDeferral` cancels the run as an expected
control-plane wait (`providerWorkStarted: false`) and schedules an
`agent_directory_busy` retry 5–15 seconds later. The task keeps its
execution lock on the retry. The lane spends no failure retries
(`execution-recovery-attempt.ts`), its count is the retry run's
`scheduledRetryAttempt`, and it stops after 30 attempts.
`pre-dispatch-execution-evidence.ts` classifies this wait like the
existing workspace and AI-connection waits, so retry scheduling does not
ask for reconciliation.
- **A resumed native run**:
`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-controller-recovery.ts`
`deferNativeRunForBusyAgentDirectory` keeps the same run on the existing
same-run retry schedule without spending an attempt. It uses the same
guards as `deferNativeControllerRecovery`: it locks the task, requires
the task's execution run to be this run, requires the current lease
owner, and refuses after a Stop, a startup cancellation or a pending
native cancellation, so those settle normally. Its count is stored in
the run's `contextSnapshot`, which a resume claim does not clear, and it
stops after 30.
- `server/src/services/heartbeat.ts`: routes a preparation deferral to
the same-run path or, before admission, to the scheduled-retry path.
After the bound it follows the normal failure path with the plain
message.
- No schema or migration. Postgres releases a dead holder's advisory
lock with its session. The staging evidence showed a live holder
(another run's checkpoint), not a stale one.
- `doc/DEVELOPING.md`: Documented both paths and the bound.

Earlier revisions of this PR waited on the lock and added idle-session
expiry, keepalive, ownership fences, fenced remote removal and attempt
slots. This revision removes all of them.

### How the directory-wait retry keeps the original wake

The retry no longer replaces the wake. `scheduleBoundedRetryForRun`
takes `preserveWakeContext` for this wait: the retry keeps the original
`wakeReason`, `retryReason` and the whole wake context (interaction,
comment, continuation and admission fields), and its wake request keeps
the original reason. The wait is recorded separately as
`preparationWait: { kind: "agent_directory_busy", attempt, nextAttemptAt
}`, next to the carried `executionRetryAccounting`. Gates that key on
the wake reason therefore treat the retry exactly as they treated the
original wake.

| # | Site | Treatment for the directory wait | Why |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | `heartbeat/retries.ts` `scheduleBoundedRetryForRun` | Changed:
`preserveWakeContext` keeps the original wake context and reason and
adds `preparationWait` | Root cause: the retry overwrote the wake reason
|
| 2 | `run-dispatch/domain/wake-context.ts`
`isResolvedInteractionContinuationWakeContext` /
`PREPARATION_WAIT_RETRY_REASONS` | Special case removed | The original
wake context is kept, so the continuation is classified from it |
| 3 | `heartbeat/retries.ts` `interactionRunnerWait` | Special case
removed | The interaction fields are kept in the context |
| 4 | `run-dispatch/adapters/postgres.ts` scheduled-retry dependency
facts | Changed: a preparation-wait retry whose original wake was
admitted as a dependency-blocked interaction
(`dependencyBlockedInteraction`, recorded at wake time) is admitted the
same way | Without the wait the original wake would have run; this gate
is only met because of the wait |
| 5 | `run-dispatch/domain/wake-context.ts`
`isNonAssigneeWorkspaceBusyRetry` + `heartbeat/retries.ts`
`finalizeAgentDirectoryBusyDeferral` | Kept:
`preparationWaitDeferredWhileAssignee`, derived only from the recorded
admission authority | The scheduled-retry ownership gate has no
wake-reason path; the workspace and AI waits use the same recorded flag
|
| 6 | `heartbeat/retries.ts` explicit user continuation admission |
Kept: admits the `agent_directory_busy` scheduling reason | The
successor needs its own authorization receipt |
| 7 | `execution-recovery-attempt.ts` uncharged lane and
`agentDirectoryWaits` | Kept | Cap and accounting |
| 8 | `pre-dispatch-execution-evidence.ts` (`isPreDispatchResourceWait`,
`isAgentDirectoryPreparationWait`), used by
`legacy-execution-recovery.ts`, `cancelled-native-startup.ts`,
`explicit-native-continuation.ts` | Kept | Describe the cancelled
pre-provider parent run, not the retry's wake |
| 9 | `explicit-native-continuation.ts`
`undeliveredLegacyUserCommentIds`, `run-dispatch/adapters/postgres.ts`
`unstartedUserTurnOrigin` | Kept | The cancelled parent did not consume
the user's comment |
| 10 | `execution-projection.ts` label and saved accounting,
`task-interruption-presentation.ts`, UI toast and chat suppression |
Kept | Presentation of the wait |
| 11 | `run-dispatch/domain/policy.ts` AI-wait lock requirement;

started |

## Verification

- Original wake kinds after a directory wait
(`heartbeat-agent-directory-busy.test.ts`, real heartbeat): an
assignment runs; a plain user comment on a dependency-blocked task is
answered with `dependencyBlockedInteraction`; an accepted interaction
continuation keeps its parked-task and reassignment gates; a user
message continuation runs with its comment; an accepted non-assignee
mention runs; and a reassignment during preparation does not let the
previous assignee restart. Each retry keeps the original `wakeReason`
and records `preparationWait`. With `preserveWakeContext` off, five of
these fail. Restart recovery keeps its attempt credit
(`native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts`).

- Non-assignee wake: an accepted mention for an agent other than the
assignee meets a busy directory; its retry records
`preparationWaitDeferredWhileAssignee: false`, survives promotion, runs
and succeeds once the directory is free. Without the shared clause in
`isNonAssigneeWorkspaceBusyRetry`, promotion cancels it.

- Interaction continuations: `heartbeat-agent-directory-busy.test.ts`
runs an accepted interaction continuation into a busy directory. The
retry keeps `mutation`, `interactionId`, `interactionKind` and
`interactionStatus` and is still classified as a continuation. If the
task is moved to todo, or reassigned, while the retry waits, the retry
does not run and the task stays parked or with its new owner. With the
old explicit storage/Runner lists, both cases fail.

- Red/green, new run:
`server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-agent-directory-busy.test.ts` runs a
real heartbeat for a new assignment whose first instruction preparation
meets a busy lock. Without the preparation wrapper, the run ends failed
(red). With it, the first run is cancelled as a wait, an
`agent_directory_busy` retry is scheduled with the task still locked to
it, the retry runs and succeeds, and no run of the task is failed
(green).
- Red/green, same-run: with the deferral as a no-op, the same-run
deferral tests failed (`expected false to be true`); they now pass.
- `native-controller-recovery.integration.test.ts` covers repeated
claim-and-defer cycles of a resumed run: each cycle keeps the attempt
count, cannot be claimed before the delay, stores the count on the run,
and the fourth deferral past a bound of 3 is refused. It also covers
Stop after the busy error, a foreign lease owner and a moved task (each
refused, nothing changed), a run before admission, and that a raw busy
error (as from collection) is never deferred.
- Focused suites: 232/232 passed (`agent-directory-working-copies`,
`instruction-working-copy`, `heartbeat-agent-directory-busy`,
`native-controller-recovery.integration`, `heartbeat-retry-scheduling`).
`tsc --noEmit` for `server` reports no errors in the changed files.
- Staging evidence (read-only): the failed run had a graceful restart at
07:25Z, then same-run resumes. Its third attempt failed at 07:31:08Z.
Another run of the same agent recorded a warm checkpoint receipt at
07:31:37Z. A second run of the same agent failed the same way at
07:59:46Z.

## Risks

- A deferred run waits 5 to 15 seconds per deferral, up to 30 times. If
the holder is still busy after that, the run fails as before with a
plain message.
- Before admission, deferral cancels the run and creates a retry run,
like the existing workspace-busy wait.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 4a61a2501e fix(storage): never promise a storage retry no storage wait owns (#20676)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A run that hits a file-storage outage gets a bounded storage wait: a
retry that starts again after storage is back
> - The run error says "Paperclip will retry automatically when storage
is back"
> - On staging, a server restart reattached a remote native runner while
its turn was still running. A storage outage then failed the
reattachment
> - Restart recovery kept the workspace under a no-replay hold, so the
run took the code `native_continuation_requires_reconciliation`. Only a
`storage_unavailable` run gets a storage wait, so no retry was
scheduled. The run still showed the storage retry promise, and the task
stayed blocked for about 15 hours
> - This pull request makes the storage text follow the run's final code
and the real storage wait outcome, and reads old rows truthfully
> - The benefit is that every storage message is true: it promises a
retry only when one is scheduled, and it offers a working Retry when
nothing retries the run

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A native run on a remote sandbox was reattached after a server restart.
Its provider turn was still in flight. File storage failed during the
reattachment. Restart recovery settled the run as
`native_continuation_requires_reconciliation`, kept its files, and did
not replay the unfinished turn (this is the existing policy for a turn
with an unknown outcome). The run error said "Paperclip will retry
automatically when storage is back". No storage wait was scheduled, so
nothing retried. The task stayed blocked until an operator clicked
Retry.

**Root cause**
`server/src/services/heartbeat/run-completion.ts` chose the message and
the error code separately. The message used
`isStorageUnavailableError(err)`. The code used a chain where
`nativeTerminalFailureCode` wins over `storage_unavailable`. The storage
wait is scheduled only when the code is `storage_unavailable` (and no
native terminal failure is recorded). So the message promised a wait
that the code made impossible. The same false promise stayed when the
storage wait was refused (`not_scheduled`) or its write failed.

**Expected behavior**
A storage failure promises an automatic retry only when the storage wait
is scheduled. Otherwise it offers Retry. Rows saved by earlier releases
read the same way after deploy, with no migration.

**Steps to reproduce**
Fail a native run with a storage-unavailable error after its native
coordinator is settled as `terminal_failure` /
`native_continuation_requires_reconciliation`. See the new regression in
`run-completion.test.ts`.

## What Changed

- `storage-unavailable.ts`: add the held messages (outage and rejected
credentials). They say Paperclip is not retrying automatically and offer
Retry or a message. Add `storageUnavailableHeldMessage()` and
`presentStorageFailureMessage()`.
- `run-completion.ts` (`failRun`): compute the error code first. Use the
storage retry promise only when the code is `storage_unavailable`. Under
any other code (for example a native recovery hold), use the held
message. No storage wait is created for such a run, because it could
only be refused.
- `run-completion.ts` (`failRun` and `failRunSetup`): replace
`markStorageWaitExhausted` with `settleStorageWaitMessage`. It keeps the
promise only when a retry is scheduled. It writes the exhausted text
when the budget is spent, and the held text when the wait was refused,
its write failed, or a case handoff took over.
- `run-completion.ts`: when the promise is withdrawn, the failure's
`error` event (written before the retry decision) gets the same final
text, so the transcript does not keep the promise after reload.
- `run-completion.ts` (`failRunSetup`): a lost controller lease keeps
its own code and text, not the storage promise.
- `run-lifecycle.ts`: `decorateHeartbeatRunRuntimeStatus` presents a
saved storage retry promise under a code other than
`storage_unavailable` with the held text. This covers run detail and
issue run presence. `listRuns` in `run-state.ts` applies the same
projection, so the company run list and the Inbox failure read agree.
Rows from earlier releases read truthfully with no migration.
- `doc/run-log-events.md`: document which runs get a storage wait and
what each message means.

Previous-release story (upgrade-safe run state): this change adds no
persisted shape. Rows saved by the previous release carry forward. A row
with the storage promise under another code reads with the held text. A
`storage_unavailable` row keeps its text. The native hold policy is
unchanged: an unfinished turn with an unknown outcome is not replayed
automatically, and the existing Retry continues it.

## Verification

- Red before the fix (assertion failures, not setup errors): the new
`run-completion.test.ts` cases received "Paperclip will retry
automatically when storage is back" under
`native_continuation_requires_reconciliation`, and the
`run-lifecycle.test.ts` cases read the saved promise unchanged.
- Green after the fix:
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/heartbeat/run-completion.test.ts
src/services/heartbeat/run-lifecycle.test.ts -t storage` (13 passed)
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/heartbeat/run-completion.test.ts
src/services/heartbeat/run-lifecycle.test.ts
src/storage/storage-unavailable.test.ts` (213 passed)
  - `cd server && npx tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json` (clean)
- Existing storage cases still pass: a scheduled storage wait keeps its
promise and suppresses rapid recovery; an exhausted wait writes the
exhausted text.
- `pnpm verify` exited 2 (a doc is a global CI input), so required CI
supplies the broad coverage.
- The full `run-completion.test.ts` file passed every test locally. Its
`afterAll` hook timed out under machine load (load average about 17),
also with the new tests skipped.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change affects only the text of failed runs and one read
projection. It does not change retry scheduling, recovery ownership, or
replay policy.
- The read projection matches this repository's own two promise
constants under a code other than `storage_unavailable`. A future change
to those constants must keep the projection in sync.
- Error events already written by earlier releases keep their original
text in the run log. Live events already published before a withdrawn
promise are not resent.

79e28dc0d0 fix(runner): record pending calls at sidecar shutdown (#20272)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The ACPX sidecar carries task tools between a provider and its
controller.
> - A closed controller pipe rejects all pending tools with `sidecar
stdin closed`.
> - Current logs do not record the first shutdown trigger or the pending
calls at that point.
> - The sampled runs record a server SIGTERM before the 300-second tool
idle timeouts and later pipe failures. The exact pipe-close cause
remains unresolved.
> - This pull request adds one bounded shutdown record before cleanup
removes the evidence.
> - Operators can use it to compare controller shutdown with pending
tool calls.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Several task document reads failed together with `sidecar stdin closed`.
In two sampled staging traces, earlier task tools reached a 300-second
idle timeout. The sidecar source maps the closure error to pending-call
rejection during shutdown. It does not record the trigger or the pending
call population.

Pattern: [Task reads lose their tool
connection](https://www.braintrust.dev/app/Paperclip/p/Paperclip%20Staging/patterns/5544e6f3-9e33-4661-95c3-5849c9a8f2b6).

**Expected behavior**

Record the local shutdown reason and a bounded snapshot of pending calls
before cleanup removes them. Keep tool cancellation and authorization
unchanged.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start the sidecar with pending task calls.
2. Close controller stdin, or send SIGTERM or SIGINT.
3. Inspect the sidecar event stream and stderr.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Baseline: `33a23e024697552a4a639e49957a3443c75a5bd5`.

### Hypothesis and thesis for a fix

The provisional hypothesis is that controller teardown causes the batch
failures after an earlier stall. The source proves how EOF rejects
pending tools. The traces establish ordering. They do not prove why the
controller closed stdin or why the earlier calls stalled. Run logs now
confirm an earlier server shutdown in both examples. One later recovery
could not find the provider; the other later ended at a durable receipt
limit. The first failed settlement and exact pipe-close trigger remain
unresolved. The later example already used a provider revision
containing #19365 and #19290, so those earlier fixes do not alone
explain all occurrences.

This is a **diagnostic-only change**. The sidecar owns the local
shutdown signal and its pending waiters. Record that state once at the
first shutdown request. Do not add retries or change deadlines without
evidence. This supports each provider that uses this sidecar. It
preserves company/task/run authority, approval checks, tool admission
and cleanup ownership. It does not resolve or claim recovery of the
original read stalls.

## What Changed

- Emit `sidecar_shutdown_requested` through the existing diagnostic
stream and stderr before shutdown can remove waiters.
- Record pending tool, input, permission and completion-normalization
counts. Include at most 16 oldest tool calls with elapsed time and a
SHA-256 call ID. Exclude arguments, results, operation names and raw
call IDs.
- Add real sidecar process tests for EOF and both shutdown signals.
Check successful resolution, cancelled calls, pending-call rejection,
provider cleanup and sidecar exit with code 0 and no signal before
fallback cleanup.
- Document the record and its limits. Saved session formats and
previous-release behavior stay unchanged.

## Verification

- Candidate: `85a929eef87d5f775bbed9f2c98409432c86c702`. The baseline
replay uses an isolated detached checkout at the baseline SHA with the
exact candidate regression file.
- Baseline red: the three process regressions failed because the
expected shutdown record was absent. The sidecar initialized, handled
calls and shut down before each assertion.
- Unchanged process regressions pass with the implementation. The
focused sidecar and snapshot suites passed: 117 tests, one unrelated
macOS candidate-admission test skipped on Linux x64.
- `cd packages/paperclip-runner && pnpm exec vitest run
src/cli/acpx-runtime-sidecar.test.ts
src/cli/acpx-sidecar-shutdown.test.ts`
- `cd packages/paperclip-runner && node --test
test/acpx-sidecar-contract.test.mjs`: 16 passed.
- `cd packages/paperclip-runner && pnpm exec tsc -p tsconfig.json
--noEmit`: passed after building the local eval-kernel dependency.
- `git diff --check`: passed.
- These tests use the real sidecar pipe and process boundary with a
controlled provider host. Independent outcome and cleanup files prove
rejection and process cleanup. They do not exercise a live authenticated
Claude/staging run or prove deployed recovery.
- The local preflight could not build Rust because this host has no
Cargo. CI must supply the applicable Rust/build checks. At head
`85a929eef87d5f775bbed9f2c98409432c86c702`, all 61 check runs are
complete: 58 passed and three conditional jobs skipped. The legacy Snyk
status passed. Greptile is 5/5 with both threads resolved. [CI
result](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42630335496).

## Risks

- The controller can stop reading before it receives the diagnostic
frame. Stderr is an additional path, not a delivery guarantee.
- EOF records a local pipe closure. It cannot identify the upstream
controller cause by itself.
- Hashed IDs require offline hashing of the existing tool-call journal
for correlation. At most 16 samples are retained; counts include the
full pending population.
- No persistent state, retry, cancellation or authorization contract
changes.

## Model Used

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 15a734d068 fix(heartbeat): show a storage outage wait as live status, then record it once (#20460)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - In cloud mode a run reads and writes file storage on its critical
path: it starts its run log (`s3_segments`), restores its saved
workspace, and saves it again
> - Since #20299 a run waits out a storage outage there for up to 5
minutes instead of failing
> - That wait was silent. The board showed "running" with no sign of
life, so a storage wait looked like a dead run (restart-chaos R5
`silent_dead_run`)
> - The first version of this PR wrote a run event on every wait. That
writes the run row (`next_event_seq`, `updated_at`) while the run-log
claim is still in progress, and it covered only the run-log begin
> - This PR shows the wait as live run status instead, writes nothing
during the wait, and records one lifecycle event when the wait ends. It
covers every critical-path wait in the run's storage scope
> - The benefit is that a storage outage shows on the board as waiting,
the run's history keeps one honest line about it, and the claim path is
left alone

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20299 (wait out a store outage on a run's critical path).

**What happened?**
- `w-20261110T043533-s11936` (Daytona R1, ST1 194 s, K2): run `d49f58d8`
waited 186 s in `heartbeat.prepare.run_output` with no event. The grader
failed it as `R5:silent_dead_run`.
- `w-20261110T105903-s11936`: the restore download
(`storage.snapshot.download`) waited 182 s with no sign of life.

**Expected:** the board shows the run waiting for file storage, and
nothing about the notice can disturb run-log ownership.

**On the failed `run_output` seen on builds of the first version**
(`w-20261110T101517-s11936` t01 run `9d39550a`,
`w-20261110T081647-s11936` t02 run `9da10424`): the evidence points to
an expired restart lease, not to the notice's row writes. Neither the
writer-authority check (`run-log-authority.ts`) nor the journal claim
compares `next_event_seq` or `updated_at`. A remote
`bootstrap_incomplete` restart claim gets a 60 s lease
(`REMOTE_CONTROLLER_LEASE_MS`), and preparation renews it only for
`reattach_remote_runner` claims. In t01 the claim was at 10:19:55, the
outage ended at 10:22:18.15, and `run_output` failed at 10:22:18.17, on
the first authority check after the store came back. That fix ships
separately as its own PR.

## What Changed

- `storage/storage-unavailable.ts`:
- The run's storage scope can carry a wait observer
(`reportStorageOutageWaitsTo`).
- `retryThroughStorageOutage` tells it about each backoff (`waiting`).
The operation that owns the wait reports one `ended` (`recovered` true
or false), so nested waits do not double-report.
  - `storageOutageWaitFor(purpose, work)` names the step.
- An observer that throws never changes the wait.
`endStorageOutageWaitOn` keeps the observer.
- `heartbeat/storage-wait-notice.ts` (new):
- Each wait sets live runtime status (phase `waiting_for_storage`,
"Waiting for file storage before starting the run log (45s so far)") and
publishes `heartbeat.run.progress`. Nothing goes to the database.
- When the wait ends, it writes one `lifecycle` warn event: "Waited Ns
for file storage before …", with payload `reason:
"storage_outage_wait"`, `purpose`, `waitedMs` and `recovered`.
- `heartbeat.ts`: installs the notice next to `endStorageOutageWaitOn`
(one line).
- Purposes:
  - run-log begin: "starting the run log";
  - `loadWorkspaceSnapshotArchive`: "restoring the workspace";
  - `uploadWorkspaceSnapshot`: "saving the workspace".
- `packages/shared`: adds `waiting_for_storage` to
`HeartbeatRunStatusPhase`.
- `tests/restart-chaos/live-status-evidence.ts` (new): R5 also counts
the board's live run status (`/api/issues/:id/live-runs`
`currentStatusUpdatedAt` / `lastEventAt`) as evidence that a running run
is alive. Wiring it into `observer.ts` takes one import and one changed
line.
- `doc/run-log-events.md`: documents the live status and the one event.
- Removed: the first version's per-wait run event.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run src/services/heartbeat/run-output.test.ts
src/__tests__/storage-outage-wait.test.ts
src/services/remote-workspace-snapshot-storage.test.ts
src/services/object-byte-journal.test.ts
src/__tests__/storage-s3-credential-rotation.test.ts`: 103 pass.
- Red/green: with the observer disabled (master behaviour), these new
tests fail. With this change they pass:
- run-output "shows the wait as live status and writes nothing to the
run while its log claim waits": no run-row write and no event during the
claim's waits; the live status is `waiting_for_storage`; the claim's
writer-authority check still passes; one lifecycle event afterwards;
- the helper's observer tests (one end per wait; gave-up reporting; a
throwing observer; the Stop signal keeps the observer);
- snapshot storage "tells the run it is waiting for storage while a save
or a restore waits out an outage".
- `PAPERCLIP_IN_WORKTREE=false npx vitest run --config
tests/restart-chaos/vitest.config.ts
tests/restart-chaos/live-status-evidence.test.ts
tests/restart-chaos/observer.test.ts
tests/restart-chaos/triggers.test.ts`: 65 pass. `node
scripts/typecheck-test-projects.mjs tests/restart-chaos`: pass. `cd
server && npx tsc --noEmit`: pass.
- Live restart-chaos waves: results in a comment below.

## Risks

- Low.
  - The retry policy, its budget and Stop handling are unchanged.
- During a wait, the only new effect is an in-memory status and a live
event.
  - Afterwards, one event per wait, written without blocking the run.
- Runtime status is per server process. A board on another instance sees
the waiting line only after the closing event.
- Shared journal work (`runSharedStorageWork`) keeps its own scope
without the observer. Its waits surface through the enclosing run-scoped
wait, as before.
- Previous-release state: this persists no new run or session state. A
run saved by the previous release resumes unchanged.

DottaandClaude bf45700ca3 fix(native): make Retry work after a turn start cut off once Codex recorded the turn (#20516)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A native Codex run sends `turn/start` through its runner. A
control-plane restart can kill the runner and Codex while that request
is in flight
> - #20507 lets the runner resume by itself when Codex's thread history
proves the turn was never created. When Codex did record the turn, the
turn may have done work, so the runner still fails closed and nothing
replays it
> - That branch must still end in a Retry that works. The next run on
the same conversation is refused at the runner-state fence before it
asks for a runner. #20507 let Retry continue after that run by matching
the refusal's error text
> - Driving that branch end to end with the real runner exposed a second
dead end. When the owner's runner dies, its provider-session close
cannot prove suspension, so this server process can keep an
operator-required cleanup quarantine for the task. Retry was then
refused outright ("Send a new message")
> - This pull request replaces the text match with a server-authored
run-log event, lets Retry take the same verified-stop path as a new
message, and adds a real-runner test of the whole branch: the cut-off
owner fails closed, the follow-up is refused with structured proof,
Retry is admitted, and the fresh Retry run completes
> - The benefit is that this restart window cannot strand a task, and
the Retry gate no longer depends on error wording

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
Follow-up to #20507 (restart-chaos wave `w-20261110T033426-s108`, t03).
#20507 left one item open: prove that a person's Retry produces a
working run when the restart cut off `turn.start` after Codex recorded
the turn. It also matched the fence refusal by its error text.

**Expected behavior**
After that cut-off, the owner stays failed closed and the turn is never
started again by itself. A person's Retry starts a new run that
completes. It never fails with `quarantine_owner_unverified` and never
returns 202 with no run.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-cut-turn-start-retry.integration.test.ts`.
2. Without the new event, the test fails: the refused follow-up has no
proof that it never launched, so Retry after it would wait on
`process_identity_missing`.

## What Changed

- `native-session-executor.ts`: when the runner-state fence refuses a
run before launch (`prior_owner_*` or `legacy_prior_owner_*`), the
executor records the server-authored event
`native.prior_owner_fence_refused` with the closed refusal `reason`,
then fails the run as before. A failed write leaves the run held (the
safe side).
- `native-local-process-stop.ts`: `nativeRunNeverLaunched` accepts a
failed run that has this event (and still no launch, identity,
`adapter.invoke` or runner-sourced event). It no longer reads the error
text.
- `explicit-native-continuation.ts`: when the task's in-process cleanup
quarantine is operator-required, a Retry no longer returns
`cleanup_quarantined` at once. Like a new message, it must first pass
`verifyStoppedNativeSessionForContinuation`, which releases the
quarantine and records `native.stopped_conversation_verified`. A native
Retry always starts a fresh conversation (`forceFreshSession`), so it
never resumes the interrupted turn. If the proof fails, Retry still
returns `cleanup_quarantined`.
- `verifyStoppedNativeSessionForContinuation`
(`native-session-executor.ts`), three narrow additions:
- a run with `native.prior_owner_fence_refused` may stand in for the
saved state's owner, like a run refused by the cleanup quarantine (both
were refused before launch);
- when the session root is gone, it reads the fence's single
`identity_indeterminate` quarantined copy of the owner's state (several
copies stay ambiguous);
- a provider startup attempt in phase `initialization_failed` whose
direct child exited and whose process and process group are gone no
longer blocks the proof. A same-run restore that fails closed leaves
exactly this record. Those PIDs are also re-checked before the
quarantine is released.
- New real-runnerd integration test
`native-cut-turn-start-retry.integration.test.ts` (real runnerd and fake
Codex with `--hang-turn-start after`):
1. The owner run's `turn/start` hangs after Codex recorded the turn; the
runner and Codex are killed. The owner's provider state keeps the
ambiguous start, and the thread history keeps the turn.
2. The same-run resume restores the runner and fails closed with "cannot
safely recover an ambiguous Codex turn start". Codex saw exactly one
`turn/start`.
3. A follow-up on the same conversation is refused with `prior_owner_*`,
never `quarantine_owner_unverified`. It records
`native.prior_owner_fence_refused`, launches nothing, and
`nativeRunNeverLaunched` is true for it.
4. The owner's operator-required in-process cleanup quarantine is pinned
(whether the real close lands there is timing-dependent; about half of
the local runs did).
5. Retry of the refused follow-up passes
`admitExplicitNativeContinuation` (not a dry run) with no block reason,
releases the quarantine and records
`native.stopped_conversation_verified`.
6. The Retry run, prepared with a fresh conversation as task Retry does
(`forceFreshSession`), uses a different runner-state root and completes
with exit code 0. Codex saw one new `thread/start` and one new
`turn/start`; the cut-off turn was never started again.
- `explicit-native-continuation.test.ts`: the fence rows now insert the
event. A new row shows that the refusal text alone keeps the run held.
The "worker loss (retry)" case now expects a verified Retry to be
admitted like a new message.
- `native-recovered-owner-followup.test.ts`: a fixture event moves to a
free sequence number, because the refused follow-up now writes its own
event.
- Docs: `doc/run-log-events.md` (new event) and
`packages/paperclip-runner/docs/durable-recovery.md`.

## Verification

- Red/green:
- Without the event write, the integration test fails (no fence event,
so the follow-up is not proven unlaunched).
- Without the gate and proof changes, it fails with `expected [
'cleanup_quarantined' ] to deeply equal []`: Retry is refused while the
owner's quarantine is held.
  - With all changes, it passes.
- `vitest run` of `native-recovered-owner-followup`,
`explicit-native-continuation` (427 tests), `quarantined-task-retry`,
`issue-confirm-run-stopped-routes`, `native-finalization-recovery`,
`task-interruption-query`, `execution-projection`,
`chat-run-publications`, `closed-native-receipt-accounting`,
`agent-live-run-routes` and the new integration test pass.
- Server `tsc --noEmit` passes.
- Runner code and the pack `contractDigest` do not change.

## Risks

- Low-medium risk. The new event is written only on the fence refusal
path, which already fails the run. It is local run-log data (no
Telemetry or OpenTelemetry).
- Retry after an operator-required cleanup quarantine is a behaviour
change: it was always refused, and now it is admitted only after the
same exact stop proof a new message needs. That proof checks the owner's
runner stop record, every recorded provider and startup PID and process
group, and the unchanged state fingerprint before it releases the
quarantine.
- A run refused by a build between #20507 and this change has only the
error text. It stays held on `process_identity_missing` until a person
sends a new message or the board confirms the stop. #20507 has not
shipped in a release yet.
- The test models the restart in-process: it kills the runner and Codex
and calls the executor again. It does not drive the HTTP Retry route;
the route's own behaviour (fresh conversation, admission gate) is
covered by existing tests and by `nativeRunNeverLaunched` here.
- Open decision, unchanged: a turn Codex recorded before the restart is
never replayed or adopted. Continuing is a person's decision.

DottaandClaude 1e13c58a4e fix(heartbeat): name the cause of generic adapter failures and keep SQL text off the board (#20483)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Heartbeat run settlement records why a run failed, and the board
shows that record.
> - Runs that fail without a named code settle as `adapter_failed` (or
`setup_failed`) with no cause.
> - A user, an operator, and the restart chaos harness cannot tell what
went wrong from such a run.
> - Some run errors also show raw SQL statement text to users.
> - This pull request records a bounded `failureCause` code for generic
failures, shows it on the board, and keeps SQL text out of run errors.
> - The benefit is that a generic failure now names its cause, for
example "adapter failed (40001)", without leaking messages, SQL, or
secrets.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20385 (the nested-cause extraction this change reuses). Related:
#20421 (restart chaos universal checks U1-U4).

**What happened?**

The restart chaos audit of 79 saved waves found 30 failed runs with
`errorCode: "adapter_failed"` and a null or generic error. Every U3
("diagnosable") warning was `adapter_failed`. Nobody could tell what
failed. Some board run errors also showed raw SQL statement text from
wrapped database errors (Drizzle `Failed query: ... params: ...`).

**Expected behavior**

A run that fails with a generic code names a short, safe cause. The
board shows the cause next to the stop reason. Run error text never
shows SQL statements or their parameters.

**Steps to reproduce**

Make an adapter throw a wrapped database error (an `Error` whose nested
`cause` has `code: "40001"` and whose message has a Drizzle `Failed
query:` statement). Before this change, the run settles as
`adapter_failed` with no cause, and `heartbeat_runs.error` contains the
SQL statement and parameters. The new tests in
`server/src/services/heartbeat/run-completion.test.ts` reproduce this.

## What Changed

- Runner: move the #20385 event-commit cause extraction into
`safeErrorCauseCode`
(`packages/paperclip-runner/src/control-plane/safe-error-cause.ts`) and
export it. The Runner's own diagnostics use the same function, unchanged
in behavior.
- Shared: add the `failureCause` contract
(`packages/shared/src/run-failure-cause.ts`): one `[A-Za-z0-9_.:-]`
token of at most 80 characters, `normalizeRunFailureCause`,
`readRunFailureCause`, and `withoutSqlStatementText`.
- Server: add `server/src/services/heartbeat/run-failure-cause.ts`.
Settlement records `resultJson.failureCause` only when the code is
generic (`adapter_failed`, `setup_failed`). `errorCode` stays the same.
- Thrown errors (`failRun`, `failRunSetup`): `provider_http_<status>`,
else `provider_<category>`, else the first safe code in the error and up
to three nested causes (`40001`, `ECONNRESET`), else the error class
name, else `unknown_error`.
- Adapter results without a code (`completeRun`): the error family,
`signal_<name>`, `process_cancellation_failed`, `exit_code_<n>`,
`adapter_reported_error`, or `unknown_error`.
- The failure log lines (`heartbeat execution failed`, `heartbeat
execution setup failed`, and a new `heartbeat run failed` warning for
generic adapter results) include `failureCause` and `errorCode`.
- Server: replace SQL statement text in run error text with "Database
query failed (<cause>)" at all three settlement paths, including the
cancelled branch. The execution blocker's `runError`, the attention
inbox (failed-run excerpt and metadata), and continuation summaries
apply the same replacement on read, so older rows also stop showing SQL
there.
- Server: Retry admission and failed-preparation replay accept only a
closed set of `resultJson` keys. `failureCause` is added to each of
those lists (`task-retry.ts`, `chat-channels/failed-run-retry.ts`,
`cancelled-native-startup.ts`, `fresh-workspace-continuation.ts`). It is
a diagnostic code with no execution or replay authority, so a
failed-preparation run stays retryable.
- Server: `runsForIssue` returns a validated top-level `failureCause`.
It is null for older rows, non-string JSON values, and malformed values.
- UI: `RunForIssue.failureCause`; `IssueRunLedger` shows "adapter failed
(40001)". Older runs keep "adapter failed". The Storybook run-ledger
fixture has a failed run with a cause.
- Restart chaos harness: run samples keep `failureCause`. U3 treats a
generic code with a specific `failureCause` as diagnosable. A bare
`Error`, `unknown_error`, or the no-code fallback
`adapter_reported_error` still counts as vague. U3 stays a warning.
- Docs: `doc/run-log-events.md` and the harness README describe the
field and the SQL replacement.

## Verification

- Red before the fix: the four new `run-completion.test.ts` cases failed
against `origin/master`'s `run-completion.ts` (no `failureCause`, SQL
text in `error`).
- Green:
- `server/src/services/heartbeat/run-completion.test.ts`: all tests
passed (real embedded PostgreSQL). New cases cover a nested `40001`
three levels deep for execution and setup failures, SQL and a secret
parameter absent from `error` and `resultJson`, the bound (an
81-character code and a SQL "code" fall back to the class name),
`exit_code_137` for a code-less adapter result, a cancelled result with
SQL text, no cause for a named code, and the log line. On this loaded
host the suite's `afterAll` database teardown hit its 30 s hook limit
after every test passed (the known local teardown limit, also seen in
#20385). CI runs the suite.
- `server/src/services/heartbeat/run-failure-cause.test.ts` (4),
`server/src/__tests__/activity-service.test.ts` (recorded, legacy,
malformed, overlong, boolean, and number cause projections),
`server/src/__tests__/issue-continuation-summary.test.ts` (legacy SQL
row).
- `packages/shared/src/run-failure-cause.test.ts` (6),
`ui/src/components/IssueRunLedger.test.tsx` (21), restart chaos
`universal.test.ts` and `observer.test.ts`.
-
`packages/paperclip-runner/src/control-plane/durable-prp-control-plane.test.ts`:
207 passed (the stall-diagnostic cases still read `40001` and
`ECONNRESET`).
- Typecheck: shared, runner, server (all layers), UI, restart chaos
harness. `pnpm check:token-gates`: all gates clean.
- `pnpm verify` returned exit 2 (global doc input changed); required CI
supplies broad coverage.
- CI on `6295f8d` found that the new key made failed-preparation runs
ineligible for Retry (`chat-channels.integration.test.ts` saved
board-message Retry got 409;
`workspace-recovery-preparation-dispatch.test.ts` dispatched 0 Retries).
Both reproduced locally and pass after the allowlist fix, with the other
459 Retry cases in `chat-channels.integration.test.ts` and all 25 in
`workspace-recovery-preparation-dispatch.test.ts`.
- No chaos waves were run. Storybook was not opened in a browser; the
fixture typechecks and the label is covered by the UI test.

## Risks

- Low risk. `errorCode` values do not change, so retry, recovery, and
comparison logic is unaffected.
- No schema change and no migration. `failureCause` is a new optional
`resultJson` key. Rows saved by the previous release have no key and
render as before; a new row read by an old server is ignored.
- The SQL replacement only acts on a Drizzle `Failed query:` marker, or
on `$n` placeholder text with a statement shape. Ordinary error text
does not change. When it acts, it also drops the text after the
statement.
- Code that checks `resultJson` against a closed key list must allow
`failureCause`. I found and updated the four lists on the Retry path; a
list I missed would refuse a Retry for a run with a generic failure.
- This is the run log / instance database path. It adds no Telemetry
event.
- The server failure log line still logs the raw error message
(unchanged behavior); only the board-facing text is changed.

Claude Code with tool use (shell, file editing) and code execution for

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 232480d18f perf(runner): write preparation span rows to the run log in the background (#20426)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Before a native run starts its provider, the executor copies the
preparation spans (queue, prepare phases, environment) into the run
trace and the run log
> - It records about 25 spans and waits for one run-log insert per span,
one after another
> - On a hosted test deployment, that step
(`native.controller.span_persistence`, added in #20396) took a median of
0.28 s, and every task waited for it before the Runner started
> - The run trace already has a way to write diagnostics without
blocking the caller: `defer`, which `finish` drains before the root span
closes
> - This pull request writes those run-log rows through that path, in
order, while the spans themselves are still recorded at once
> - The benefit is about 0.25 s less before the provider starts, on
every native run, cold or warm

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The time between the end of heartbeat preparation and
`native.session.execute` for native Runner tasks.

**Subsystem affected**
Server: native runtime tracing
(`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-run-trace.ts`) and the
native session executor.

**Current behavior**
`executeNativeSession` calls `trace.record` for each preparation span
and awaits it. `trace.end` awaits `emitCompletedSpanEvent`, which
inserts one `run.performance.span` row through `onEvent`. On a hosted
test deployment, measured with the #20396 spans across 10 runs,
`native.controller.span_persistence` took a median of 0.28 s:
- 0.30 to 0.36 s for runs right after a computer wake
- 0.17 to 0.25 s for runs on an awake computer

It is the second largest step between preparation and the provider start
(the median of that whole gap is 1.0 s).

**Proposed behavior**
The spans are still started and ended at once, with the same parents.
The speed-budget bookkeeping still runs at once too. Only the run-log
row is written later: one row at a time, in the order the spans ended,
before the trace finishes.

**Reason and benefit**
The rows are diagnostics, and they already carry their own start time
(`wallStartedAtMs`, `startOffsetMs`). Readers do not depend on the row
order: the only reader in the repository, `summarizeStartupReuse`, looks
for `runner.process.launch`, which this change does not defer. The
provider can start without waiting for these inserts.

**Breaking changes**
None.

## What Changed

- `native-run-trace.ts`: `end` and `record` take an optional
`deferRunLog`. With it, `end` queues the run-log row on a per-trace
chain registered with `defer`, so rows are written one at a time in
order and `finish` waits for them. A row requested after the trace
finished is dropped, as for other deferred diagnostics.
- `native-session-executor.ts`: the preparation spans and the
`environment.startup` scope use `deferRunLog: true`.
- `doc/run-log-events.md`: note that native preparation span rows are
written late, in order.
- `native-run-trace.test.ts`: two tests.
- Spans are recorded under their parent while every row write is
blocked, and the rows are written in order before
`task.provider_session.measured`.
  - A deferred row requested after `finish` is not written.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run src/services/native-runtime/native-run-trace.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-run-trace-context.test.ts` (34
passed). Both new tests fail without the source change: the first times
out waiting on the blocked write, and the second sees the row written.
- `npx vitest run src/__tests__/heartbeat-preparation-gap-spans.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts` (1321
passed)
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`

## Risks

- Low risk. The change is diagnostic only: OpenTelemetry spans and the
speed-budget checks are unchanged.
- The preparation rows can now land in the run log after the first
Runner events. Readers already use the payload times, not the row order.
- If the server process dies between the provider start and `finish`,
the preparation rows of that run can be missing from the run log. The
OpenTelemetry spans are not affected.
- The deferred rows are written while the run continues, as
budget-breach rows already are, so the sink sees concurrent writes from
one run. This was already the case for deferred diagnostics.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 199670ba99 fix(accounting): prevent usage receipt stalls during streamed run updates (#20385)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native Runner commits usage receipts before it acknowledges retained
events.
> - Usage receipts and streamed run logs update the same run row.
> - A repeatable-read snapshot can become stale before the receipt
writer locks that row.
> - Continuous log writes can exhaust all accounting retries and stall
the retained event.
> - This pull request uses the existing run lock with READ COMMITTED for
standalone receipt writes.
> - Other accounting operations keep their consistent snapshot. Stall
diagnostics retain safe nested error codes.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #20235.

**What happened?**

A hosted native run stopped on a retained usage event. Its diagnostic
reported `Error at source seq N`. The saved outbox and accounting
records locate the failing delivery boundary. Traces show repeated
accounting transactions while streamed events still updated the run row.
The historical inner exception is unavailable.

A controlled PostgreSQL reproduction proves a matching defect: a run-log
append after company validation makes the receipt writer's
repeatable-read snapshot stale. Repeated appends exhaust all four
retries with SQLSTATE `40001`. This is a demonstrated failure mechanism;
attribution of the historical incident remains an inference.

**Expected behavior**

Commit the receipt under its existing run-row lock despite concurrent
run-log writes. Observe concurrent finalization and preserve
late-receipt debt. Keep duplicate receipts idempotent and reject
conflicting or cross-company receipts.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run `server/src/services/usage-receipts-read.test.ts`. The concurrency
regression uses real PostgreSQL and the production run-log append
function. It commits a log append after company validation and before
the receipt locks the run. Before the repair, the receipt rejects with a
wrapped `40001` after four attempts. After the repair, it commits once.
The finalization variant verifies that a newly settled run receives
late-receipt debt without replacing settled state.

## What Changed

- Allow aggregate-lock-protected accounting writers to select READ
COMMITTED. Keep repeatable read as the default.
- Use READ COMMITTED only for standalone usage receipt writes. Keep the
existing run lock, immutable receipt journal, replay checks and
transactional budget-work publication.
- Add PostgreSQL regressions for concurrent log appends, concurrent
finalization, duplicate delivery and the unchanged default snapshot.
- Read the outer event-commit error and at most three nested causes for
an existing safe error code. Exclude exception messages and SQL.
- Document receipt isolation and bounded stall diagnostics.

## Verification

- Red: the production receipt writer exhausted four retries with
PostgreSQL `40001` under controlled concurrent run-log appends.
- Red: wrapped database and transport stall diagnostics returned `Error`
instead of `40001` and `ECONNRESET`.
- Green: Runner control-plane tests passed all 207 cases. All 68 server
assertions passed across receipt reads, native usage delivery and cost
accounting. Cost-accounting teardown exceeded its 30-second limit twice
on this loaded host, after all 28 assertions passed. The workspace
project retained its configured 30-second hook limit despite the CLI
override. This is a local suite cleanup failure, not a passing suite;
the same revision passed the complete server suites in CI.
- Server layered TypeScript checking passed, including source and test
layers. Runner TypeScript checking passed. Server checks cover
`ccfe3bdeb1ab88537a03fd6af9044f66863939a5`; the unchanged Runner checks
cover its parent.
- Local environment: macOS arm64, Node 26.4.0, disposable embedded
PostgreSQL. Native usage-delivery tests use the real Rust receiver.
- CI at `ccfe3bdeb1ab88537a03fd6af9044f66863939a5`:
[build](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42714760702/job/129493568428),
[typecheck](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42714760702/job/129493568367),
native Runner integration, browser shards and all nine serialized server
groups passed. All 12 general server shards passed in the [full
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42714760702).
Final rollup: 59 successful checks/statuses, three intentionally skipped
checks, no pending or failed checks.
- [Greptile reviewed this revision at 5/5 with no actionable
findings](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/20385#issuecomment-6753163397).
- Hosted evidence came from the task, run, saved sandbox outbox,
accounting receipts and traces. The run started fresh and did not cross
a deployment. No original agent turn was replayed.
- The hosted repair has not been deployed. The original task has not
been resumed. A fixed-revision remote-provider user journey remains
unverified.

## Risks

- READ COMMITTED changes snapshot timing for standalone receipt writes.
The run-row lock protects all mutable receipt/accounting reads and
serializes competing receipts and finalization. Other accounting
operations retain repeatable read.
- Receipt identity, replay conflict checks, company scoping, budget
publication, retry bounds and acknowledgement rules remain intact.
- No persisted format, provider identity or database schema changes.
Existing saved state needs no migration.
- Diagnostics inspect at most four objects and retain only the existing
identifier format, with an 80-character code limit.
- The reproduced race matches the incident boundary and timing, but the
original inner exception was not recorded. Rollout and live acceptance
remain necessary before incident resolution.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 bce7503a82 perf(workspaces): time a restore's sandbox upload and extraction separately (#20331)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Remote (sandbox) workspaces are restored from a durable snapshot
before a later turn, so restore time delays that turn's first token
> - #20280 added run-log timing for the storage steps of a save and a
restore
> - A Daytona wave with a Paperclip-sized workspace (~750 MB) spent 39.9
s preparing the workspace of a restored run. The storage steps
(download, decrypt, verify, publish) took 2.4 s, and
`workspace.snapshot.sandbox_restore` took 35.6 s
> - The archive helper unpacks the same archive locally in 3.6 s, so
most of that time is elsewhere, probably copying 750 MB into the
sandbox. One span cannot say which
> - This pull request splits that span into the upload into the sandbox
and the extraction in it
> - The benefit is that the next measurement shows which part to fix

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20280

**What happened?**
A restored run on Daytona spent 35.6 s in
`workspace.snapshot.sandbox_restore` (wave `w-20261109T170632-s9921`, R1
workload, 754,838,327-byte snapshot). The run log records only that
total, so it cannot show whether the copy into the sandbox or the unpack
inside it is slow.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a remote workspace task with a large repository on Daytona and
let a later run restore it.
2. Read the restored run's `run.performance.span` events.
3. Only `workspace.snapshot.sandbox_restore` covers the time after the
storage download.

**Expected behavior**
The run log separates the upload into the sandbox from the extraction
there.

## What Changed

- `remote-workspace-transport.ts` (`restoreRemoteWorkspaceDirectory`):
the archive copy into the sandbox runs inside
`workspace.snapshot.sandbox_upload`, and the in-sandbox restore command
inside `workspace.snapshot.sandbox_extract`. Both are children of the
existing `workspace.snapshot.sandbox_restore`.
- `execution-preparation-timing.ts`: the two new phase names. A traced
`measureRunPhase` scope also carries its preparation ancestor's run
(`recordRunId`). Without it, with an OTLP endpoint set, a step nested
inside another step (here, upload and extract inside `sandbox_restore`)
never reached the run log. Execution attempts still record nothing.
- `doc/run-log-events.md`: the two rows in the durable storage timing
table.
- No behavior change. This is a run-log change: the rows stay in the
instance database.

## Verification

- New test `times the restore's sandbox upload and extraction as
separate run-log steps` (`remote-workspace-transport.test.ts`). It
restores a real archive through the real helper, inside the production
`sandbox_restore` step with an OTLP endpoint set, with a 60 ms pause in
each step, then reads the drained run phases. It fails without the spans
or without the scope fix.
- New test `records a step nested inside another step when an OTLP
endpoint is set` (`execution-preparation-phases.test.ts`). It fails
without the scope fix.
- `npx vitest run` on `execution-preparation-phases`,
`execution-preparation-timing`, `execution-timing-context`,
`database-operation-attribution`, `native-workspace-finalization-work`,
`remote-workspace-transport` and `remote-workspace-snapshot-storage`:
256 passed.

## Risks

- Low risk. Two more measured steps on the restore path; spans under 50
ms are not recorded.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 dc9ad17515 perf(storage): time workspace snapshot save and restore steps and count storage retries (#20280)
## Thinking Path

- Cloud durable storage is a major source of failures and slowness on
staging. For example, a staging task failed when saving files after
automatic retries.
- Before measuring or fixing it, we need to see where storage time goes.
Today a saved-workspace restore before the turn appears only inside the
coarse `workspace_environment_realize` phase.
- After the turn, the save's encrypt, put, verify and multipart throttle
backoff have no timing at all. Only `captureMs`, `transferMs`,
`verifyMs`, `uploadMs` and `publishMs` exist, in `saveTiming`.
- Storage retries happen in the SDK and in the multipart uploader,
invisibly.
- This adds the measurement first, so the storage-mode chaos waves
(MinIO behind a fault proxy) can report save and restore p50/p95 and
point at the dominant wait.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
Durable-storage saves and restores were opaque in the run log and save
timing. A slow or repeatedly retried storage call could not be told
apart from slow capture, encryption or sandbox work.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a remote task with S3-compatible durable storage, so it saves
after the turn and restores on the next run.
2. Inspect the run log and the `remote_workspace_snapshot` operation's
`saveTiming`. The restore's download, decrypt and verify, and the save's
put, verify and throttle backoff, have no timing.

**Expected behavior**
Each storage step has a duration, and storage request retries and
backoff are counted.

## What Changed

- `server/src/storage/request-stats.ts` (new): an async-local collector
of storage request statistics. Counts only:
  - `requests`, `attempts` and `failedRequests`;
  - `retryDelayMs` (SDK waits);
- `parts`, `throttled` and `backoffMs` (the multipart uploader's waits).
- `server/src/storage/s3-failure.ts`: `withS3FailureDiagnostics`, which
wraps every S3 send, records each request's SDK `$metadata.attempts` and
`totalRetryDelay`, on success and on failure.
- `server/src/storage/s3-multipart.ts`: records each uploaded part and
each resend wait, flagged throttled when the backend returned 503, 429
or SlowDown.
- `server/src/services/remote-workspace-snapshot-storage.ts`:
  - Each step is a `storage.snapshot.*` run phase:
    - save: `prior_attempts`, `encrypt`, `digest`, `put`, `verify`;
    - restore: `download`, `decrypt`, `verify_plaintext`, `publish`.
- A caller can pass a `timing` record that receives the step durations,
the bytes and the request statistics.
- `server/src/services/remote-workspaces.ts`:
  - The save passes a timing record, kept in `saveTiming.storage`.
- The sandbox unpack during a restore is its own phase,
`workspace.snapshot.sandbox_restore`.
- `execution-preparation-timing.ts`: the new phase names.
- `doc/run-log-events.md`: a new "Durable storage timing" section.

Because the restore runs inside run preparation, its steps of 50 ms or
more become `run.performance.span` rows with no extra plumbing. This is
run-log and instance-database data only; there's no Telemetry change.

## Verification

- `server`: `storage-s3-multipart-backoff`, `storage-s3-multipart`,
`storage-s3-multipart-throttle`, `storage-s3-failure-diagnostics`,
`remote-workspace-snapshot-storage` and `execution-preparation-timing`
tests: 86 passed. They include:
- collected stats for a throttled multipart upload: 12 requests, 7
failed, 7 throttled, 35.5 s backoff and 3 parts;
  - a save and restore that fill every step duration and the byte count.
- `remote-workspaces.integration.test.ts`: 112 passed. Its `saveTiming`
assertion now includes `storage`.
- Server typecheck: no errors in the touched files.

## Risks

- **Overhead:** one async-local lookup per S3 request, plus timestamps
per snapshot step.
- **Collector scope:** the collector only exists inside a snapshot save
or restore. Other storage callers are unaffected; they record nothing.
- **`saveTiming`** gains a `storage` object. Readers that compare it
exactly (one test, updated) will see the new field.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 6fd46c0025 perf(budgets): judge Paperclip's share of restart recovery; report the provider's session load (#20183)
## Thinking Path

- Speed budgets protect the time to first visible agent activity, and
restart recovery is one of the judged metrics
(`native-speed-budgets.ts`, wave grader).
- In the B1 concurrency-6 chaos wave (`w-20261109T045320-s9807`), Codex
`restart_recovery` was p50 8.6 s and p95 11.2 s, against a budget of 6.5
s and 8.0 s. At concurrency 4 (K13) it was 3.8 s and 5.0 s.
- The preparation spans on a copy of the kept database break it down:
- Paperclip's share (ready → claim → prepare → runtime stage → runner
launch) is a steady 1.2–2.0 s.
- `provider.session.load`, the Codex app-server boot plus
`thread/resume` of long saved sessions, takes 3.0–6.3 s, 65–75% of each
recovery.
- Resumes run concurrently, and the worktree lock and the startup
reconciler are not on the path.
- Judging the full latency therefore mixes our code with provider and
session-size effects. Budget the part we control, so a regression in our
code shows up regardless of session size or concurrency, and report the
rest.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
`restart_recovery` breached its budget whenever many long provider
sessions resumed at once, although Paperclip's own recovery work stayed
within about 2 s. The breach did not point at anything Paperclip could
fix, and a real regression in our code could hide inside the
provider-load variance.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a local chaos wave at concurrency 6 with long-running Codex tasks
and K1/K2/K4 faults (for example B1, seed 9807).
2. Compare `restart_recovery` in `speed.json` with
`provider.session.load` in the recovered runs' run logs.

**Expected behavior**
The budget judges Paperclip's share of a recovery. The provider's
session load and the full latency are reported but not judged.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/native-runtime/native-speed-budgets.ts`:
- New budgeted metric `restart_recovery_control_plane`: from `ready` to
the start of `provider.session.load`, or to the next provider event when
nothing reloads (for example a reattached runner).
- Its budget is 2.5 s / 4.0 s for claude, codex and opencode. Measured:
1.2–2.0 s per run at concurrency 6.
  - The full `restart_recovery` stays in the table for reporting.
  - Breach payloads carry `restartTotalMs` and `providerLoadMs`.
- `server/src/services/native-runtime/native-run-trace.ts`:
- The per-run check records when `provider.session.load` starts, keeps
the recovery measurement, and judges it when the run finishes.
- It judges after the deferred diagnostics drain, so a provider span
committed after the provider event still counts.
  - It emits `restart_recovery_control_plane` breaches only.
- `tests/restart-chaos/ttft-baseline-stats.ts`: each recovery sample
gains `controlPlaneMs` and `providerLoadMs`. The provider-load start is
the span event's write time minus its duration.
- `tests/restart-chaos/wave-speed.ts`:
- Three restart rows per adapter: `restart_recovery` (report-only),
`restart_recovery_control_plane` (budgeted) and `restart_provider_load`
(report-only).
  - All three have outage time removed.
- `tests/restart-chaos/ttft-baseline.ts`: the recovery table adds a
"Paperclip share" column.
- Docs: `doc/run-log-events.md` (metric and payload) and the
speed-budget table in
`doc/plans/2026-11-07-durable-ownership-and-reconciliation.md`.

## Verification

- `server`: `npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-speed-budgets.test.ts`, 18 passed.
Two new tests:
  - a recovery dominated by provider load does not breach;
- a slow Paperclip share breaches with `restartTotalMs` and
`providerLoadMs`, even when the provider span is committed after the
provider event.

The existing recovery tests moved to the new metric. All six were red
before the trace change.
- `tests/restart-chaos`: `npx vitest run --config
tests/restart-chaos/vitest.config.ts wave-speed.test.ts
ttft-baseline-stats.test.ts`, 29 passed. New tests cover the sample
split and the grader rows (a judged share, a report-only provider load,
zero breaches).
- Server typecheck: no errors in the touched files.

## Risks

- **Lower sensitivity to provider-side slowdowns.** A provider
regression in session load no longer breaches. It stays visible in the
report-only rows and in breach payloads.
- **Runs with no `provider.session.load` span** (reattach, or an adapter
that doesn't emit it) are judged on the full latency against the
control-plane budget. That's conservative.
- **Run-log consumers that filter on `metric: "restart_recovery"`** see
`restart_recovery_control_plane` from now on. The doc notes the change
date.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 b32ef9f111 perf(budgets): judge time to first visible agent activity; keep time to first text as a reported metric (#20077)
## Thinking Path

- The native speed budgets (plan invariant 8) judge how fast an agent
responds. They judged `task.time_to_first_token`: time to the first
deliverable **text**.
- In the clean local restart storm (w-20261108T153612-s9401), Claude
breached its TTFT budget (cold p50/p95 17.4/34.7 s against 16.5/30). The
per-run spans showed this was not a control-plane wait: in all 49 cold
runs (and 76% of warm), Claude started a tool call before writing any
text. Its first visible activity came at 7.4 s p50 from run creation;
first text came at 19.6 s. Codex never calls a tool first.
- So first text charges model tool work as latency for tool-first
adapters. What the user experiences as "the agent responded" is the
first visible activity: a text delta, a tool-call start, or a thinking
indicator.
- The coordinator decided: budgets judge time to first visible agent
activity from run creation, with the budget numbers unchanged; first
text stays a reported metric with no budget for tool-first adapters.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
Local storm s9401: the Claude TTFT budget breached on every aggregate,
while the control-plane steps (queue 0.05 s, prepare 0.3 s, runner
startup ~4 s, first provider event 1.3–1.8 s) were well within budget.
The rest of the first-text wait was Claude streaming tool input (about
5.5 s per call) and running tools before it wrote text.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a Claude task whose first action is a tool call (most real
tasks).
2. Read the run log: `provider.time_to_first_agent_event` ends at the
tool call; `task.time_to_first_token` ends many seconds later at the
first text.
3. The speed budget judges the later one and reports a breach.

**Expected behavior**
The budget judges the first visible agent activity from run creation
(`task.time_to_first_agent_activity`). Time to first text is still
recorded and reported.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.ts`: when
the first meaningful agent event commits (the existing
`firstMeaningfulAgentEventKind`: text delta, tool-call start, or
reasoning), record `task.time_to_first_agent_activity`. It uses the same
detached anchor resolution as TTFT (accepted comment, answered question,
durable wake request, or run creation), so it adds nothing to the turn
path.
- `server/src/services/native-runtime/native-speed-budgets.ts`: the
metric is now named `time_to_first_activity` (was `ttft`), with
identical budget numbers. The type comment documents the definition and
why first text is unbudgeted.
- `server/src/services/native-runtime/native-run-trace.ts`: the budget
check judges `task.time_to_first_agent_activity` from run creation,
keeping the existing input-wait handling. `task.time_to_first_token` is
no longer budgeted.
- `tests/restart-chaos/ttft-baseline-stats.ts` and `ttft-baseline.ts`:
report first activity from run creation (the budgeted value) next to
TTFT.
- Docs: `doc/observability.md` (new span) and
`doc/plans/2026-11-07-ttft-baseline.md` (metric table).
- Tests:
- A tool-first turn records first activity at the tool call (5 s) while
TTFT records first text (16 s).
- A tool-first trace with slow first text but fast first activity is
within budget.
  - The existing budget tests now judge the activity span.

Observability path (AGENTS.md section 5.7): the new run-log span uses
only the existing `eventKind` and `anchor` attributes. Its name survives
run-log redaction intact; checked with `redactEventPayload`. The
operator OTLP gate is unchanged. It is not Telemetry.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-speed-budgets.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-run-trace.test.ts`: 44/44 pass.
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts -t "first
visible activity|first assistant text once|first-token timing"`: 7/7
pass.
- `npx vitest run --root tests/restart-chaos`: 159/159 pass; `tsc` on
`tests/restart-chaos` is clean.

## Risks

- **A metric rename.** Consumers of `run.performance.budget_exceeded`
see `metric: "time_to_first_activity"` instead of `"ttft"`. In-repo
there are none besides the tests; Phase 3's chaos speed grade switches
to the new span.
- **A looser budget for slow first text.** Intentional: first text is
reported, not judged. A regression in control-plane latency still shows
up in first activity.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

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

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19831

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

c3180398fa fix(native): resume a remote Runner after a settled suspension
fix(native): resume a remote Runner after a settled suspension

A scheduled checkpoint retry can retain a remote reattach claim after
closing its failed predecessor cleanly suspends and exits the Runner.
Resume only that exact settled source after confirmed exit and a fresh
identity/state check. Preserve pending work and uncertain-exit fences.

Admit the last already-charged provider attempt and share one bounded
recovery deadline with the final state read, retaining closed diagnostic
labels on read failures. Cover fresh ACPX Runner relaunch on attempts
two and three through actual processes and the durable close barrier.

Six affected suites pass 1,579 tests, with 14 environment-gated skips;
all server typecheck layers pass on Node 25.6.1. The complete provider
turn continuation failure remains preserved as follow-up #19751.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 4612fa9fb4 fix(native): restart a drained Daytona run whose runner opened its session (#19711)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs on Daytona start a `paperclip-runnerd` process in a
sandbox. A graceful shutdown (every rolling deploy) suspends live native
runs "without cancelling provider work". The next boot then decides how
each run continues.
> - #19583, #19616 and #19684 let restart recovery start a remote
bootstrap again when durable evidence proves that no provider work
exists.
> - A chaos replay found another window. The drain suspended a remote
run just after its sandbox runner opened the provider session, before
the controller sent a turn and before a session snapshot existed.
> - Recovery accepted only an unfinished `session.open` in the
controller checkpoint, so it blocked the task as ambiguous. A Retry
recovered it, but automatic continuation was lost.
> - A related replay showed that the same-run bootstrap reuses the
sandbox. The interrupted runner can still hold the runner ingress port
there (`runner_ingress_bind_conflict`).
> - This pull request proves the "session opened, no turn" case and
stops the interrupted runner before relaunch.
> - The benefit is that a deploy during Daytona startup continues
automatically, without a port conflict.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A chaos replay (ACPX Claude on Daytona) sent SIGTERM while a remote run
was starting. The drain recorded `restart_suspended`. The dying
controller still launched the runner and finished `session.open`. On the
next boot, restart recovery returned
`ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence` with disposition `blocked`.

The decrypted controller checkpoint of that run showed:
- `run.prepare` completed and `session.open` completed (provider session
opened).
- Committed events `session.started`, `session.capabilities.updated` and
`session.goal.snapshot` (`ackedSourceSeq: 3`).
- No turn command. No run-profile session snapshot and no projected
provider events.

On the next run in that replay, a same-run bootstrap relaunched the
runner in the same sandbox (one lease for all attempts). It failed with
`runner_ingress_bind_conflict: failed to bind listener: Address already
in use`, because the interrupted runner from 51 s earlier was still
listening there. The bounded same-run retry recovered it on its last
attempt.

**Expected behavior**

When the durable controller record proves that no turn was ever sent,
recovery starts the bootstrap again. It first stops the interrupted
runner in the reused sandbox.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a native run on a Daytona environment.
2. Send SIGTERM to the control plane while the runner opens its provider
session.
3. Restart the control plane after the controller lease expires.
4. See that restart recovery blocks the task with
`ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`.

Root cause: in
`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-restart-recovery.ts`, the
remote checkpoint proof (`remoteBootstrapProvenIncomplete`, #19583)
required an unfinished `session.open` with no committed events, and no
provider events at all. A completed `session.open` with only
session-open events had no rule, so it fell through to
`ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`.

Refs #19583, #19616, #19684, #19524

## What Changed

- `native-bootstrap-proof.ts`: new `runnerdStateHasNoProviderTurn`
proof. The state must hold only `run.prepare` and `session.open`
(pending or completed) and no warm, staged or adopted state. Every
committed event must be a session-open event, with contiguous sequence
numbers from 1, so no event is hidden. Only the controller issues turn
commands, and it writes each one to Postgres before sending it.
- `native-runner-checkpoint.ts`:
`nativeRunnerCheckpointRemoteBootstrapProof` replaces
`nativeRunnerCheckpointProvesIncompleteBootstrap`. It also reads a
bounded number of `event:N` parts and returns which proof holds. It
still rebuilds the state in memory.
- `native-restart-recovery.ts`: a remote run can now claim
`bootstrap_incomplete` with reason `remote_session_opened_without_turn`.
Projected provider events may only be session-open events
(`harness.ready`, `session.started`, `session.resumed`,
`session.updated`), and only together with the stronger session-opened
proof. A turn or provider event still blocks.
- `native-session-executor.ts`:
- For a remote sandbox target, the executor accepts the same proof on
the restored record.
- Before the same-run bootstrap relaunches,
`stopStaleRemoteRunnerBeforeBootstrap` stops the interrupted runner in
the reused sandbox. It uses the verified identity marker and process
check from reattachment, which signals only a process whose identity
matches this run: SIGTERM, a wait of up to 10 s, then SIGKILL.
- The stop is best effort. If no prior runner can be verified, nothing
is stopped, and the bounded same-run retry still handles any conflict.
- `doc/run-log-events.md`: document the reason and the stop.

## Verification

- Red, then green: `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts
-t "drained remote"`. Before the fix, the opened-session case (with a
projected `session.started`) returned `blocked` /
`ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`.
- These keep the hold: a `turn.start` command, a committed
`turn.started`, an acknowledged event that is missing from the record,
and a projected `turn.started`. The executor test restores the
checkpoint and checks that the local proof is false and the remote proof
is true.
- Regression: `native-runner-restart-recovery.integration`,
`native-session-executor`, `native-restart-recovery`,
`native-bootstrap-retry.integration` and `heartbeat/recovery`: 1460
passed, 14 skipped.
- Stale runner stop: controlled sandbox-runner tests
(`native-session-executor.test.ts`, "stale runner stop before a same-run
remote bootstrap") run the real reattachment identity and process
scripts against a fake sandbox runner:
  - a verified runner that exits on SIGTERM gets SIGTERM only;
  - a runner that ignores SIGTERM gets SIGTERM, then SIGKILL;
  - a runner with another identity gets no signal;
  - no live prior runner means no signal.
- Live Daytona proof (wave `w-20261107T021837-s29`, ACPX Claude,
`--faults K2 --triggers time,result`, 4 tasks, concurrency 1). The image
was built from current master
(`paperclip-daytona-runner@sha256:71f711ab…`), and its content id
matches this branch.
- All 4 tasks crossed a graceful restart, and all passed R1. Two of the
K2s fired on the `result` trigger, during a running remote turn.
- The K2 during a turn reattached to the live remote runner
(`reattach_remote_runner`, generation 2), as designed.
- Task t01 failed R6 with an orphan Daytona sandbox that no lease
references. The graceful restart came during sandbox creation. This is a
separate signature, outside this change.
- The timed faults did not land in the exact "session opened, no turn"
window. The integration tests cover that window with the evidence from
the saved replay database.

## Risks

- The proof relies on two facts: only the controller issues turn
commands, and the controller writes each command before sending it
(`#sendJson` waits for the checkpoint flush). A turn always leaves a
`turn.start` command in the record.
- The provider session opened in the old sandbox runner is not resumed.
The new bootstrap opens a fresh session. No turn ran in the old one, so
no work is lost.
- The runner stop sends signals inside the run's own sandbox. It signals
only after the existing reattachment identity and process checks pass.

## Model Used

tool use (shell, file edits, GitHub CLI) and extended reasoning.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 30857db55e fix(native): recover a run killed between runner launch and its identity record (#19694)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs start a local `paperclip-runnerd` process. The server
records the request to start it, then records its process identity after
it spawns.
> - If the server is killed between those two records, there is no
process ID to check after the restart
> - Restart recovery then restarted the bootstrap, but the executor
failed with `durable_identity_unreadable` because the runner never wrote
its state
> - The user's Retry then waited forever with "Retry is waiting for
Paperclip to verify that the previous execution stopped", because the
stop check needs a process ID
> - This pull request restarts that bootstrap and proves on the host
that no runner for the run exists
> - The benefit is that a restart in the runner launch window no longer
loses the task or leaves Retry permanently stuck

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
In restart-chaos testing, an ACPX Claude run was created and the server
was SIGKILLed 1.3 s later, right after `native.process_start_requested`
and before the runner identity was recorded. On restart, recovery
claimed `bootstrap_incomplete` (`dead_runner_before_provider_identity`).
The executor then threw `runner_state_identity_mismatch:
durable_identity_unreadable`: the state root existed, but
`control-plane/control-plane-state.json` had never been written. The run
failed with `native_continuation_requires_reconciliation`. A Retry was
accepted (HTTP 200), but no run was ever created. The issue stayed
blocked with `retryWait.reason=process_identity_missing` for over 20
minutes and through another restart.

**Expected behavior**
When the runner never wrote state, no provider started, so the bootstrap
can start again. A Retry should be admitted once the host proves that no
runner for the run exists.

**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at `fb3cf1a072`.

**Steps to reproduce**
Create a native local task and SIGKILL the server about 1 s after the
run starts, after the runner launch is requested and before its identity
is recorded. Restart the server, then click Retry.

## What Changed

- `migrateRunnerdStateRootForExecution` (`native-session-executor.ts`):
for a `bootstrap_incomplete` restart on a local target, a root is
quarantined (kept for inspection) and the bootstrap starts again only
when both of these hold:
  - the root has no `control-plane-state.json`;
  - no live runner for the run exists on this host.

A state file that exists but cannot be read, or a runner that started
but has not connected yet, still fails closed with
`durable_identity_unreadable`.
- `unidentifiedLocalRunnerProvenAbsent` (`native-session-executor.ts`)
proves that a runner is absent when both of these hold:
- no host process carries the run's `--run-id <runId>` argument
(`paperclip-runnerd` is always started with it, detached and
unreferenced);
- no saved control-plane state for this run exists, in the canonical
root or in quarantine.

A provider starts only after its runner connects and writes that state.
- `native.process_start_requested` now records the launching `hostname`.
- `recordUnidentifiedLocalRunnerStop` (`native-local-process-stop.ts`)
applies the proof only when all of these hold:
  - the run is native;
  - the run has no process ID;
- its latest launch event is `native.process_start_requested`, from this
host;
  - all of its leases are local.

  A launch recorded without a host stays blocked.
- The process listing runs asynchronously with a 5 s deadline. A failed
or slow listing proves nothing.

It then writes `native.local_process_stopped` with null process IDs and
`basis: "unidentified_runner_absent"`. A later launch request
invalidates it as usual.
- The continuation and Retry gate (`explicit-native-continuation.ts`)
uses this proof before returning `process_identity_missing`. A dry run
checks the proof but records nothing.
- `doc/run-log-events.md` documents the new receipt basis.

## Verification

- `native-session-executor.test.ts`:
- The bootstrap restart with absent state was red before the fix
(`durable_identity_unreadable`) and is green after it (root quarantined,
backend admitted).
- Unreadable state, and a live runner that has not connected, still
reject.
- Proof cases: absent → true; a live process with `--run-id <runId>` →
false; this run's saved state → false; another run ID → false.
- `explicit-native-continuation.test.ts` (embedded Postgres, real
admission):
- The `absent` and `dry_run` cases were red before the fix (blocked) and
are green after it (admitted). Only the real admission records the
receipt.
- The `live_runner`, `saved_state`, `foreign_host` and `unbound_launch`
cases stay blocked.
- Broader local run after the review fixes:
`explicit-native-continuation`, `native-session-executor`,
`native-recovered-owner-followup`,
`native-runner-restart-recovery.integration` and `task-retry` gave 1836
passed, 0 failed.
- A chaos replay of the original task (`--replay
w-20261106T232854-s7103/t26`) passed (R1 PASS). Its kill landed after
the runner identity was recorded (`resume_dead_runner`), not in the
launch window, so the tests above are what reproduce that window.
- `tsc --noEmit` for `server` passes.

## Risks

- The proof depends on `ps -axww` listing every process on the launching
host. If `ps` fails or times out, the proof fails closed (still
blocked). Remote runners and other hosts are excluded.
- A runner that was spawned but has not yet written its state could be
mid-start when admission runs. It would still carry `--run-id` in its
arguments, so the proof refuses.
- Only the bootstrap path with no state file changes. Ownership,
checkpoint and reattach checks are unchanged.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 11c07c622c fix(native): restart a remote bootstrap retry that shutdown cut before runner launch (#19684)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work

sandbox. Restart recovery decides what to do with each live or due run
after the control plane restarts.

remote run with no runner process request and no controller checkpoint
starts its bootstrap again.

`local_runtime_api_listener_unavailable`. The executor settles it as a
same-run `bootstrap_retry` and releases its lease. #19596 treats this as
a restart detach only for local runners.
> - When the server restarted with that retry due, restart recovery
claimed the row. The proof accepted only rows that still held a lease,
so recovery blocked the task as ambiguous.
> - This pull request lets the same proof also admit that settled
`bootstrap_retry` row.
> - The benefit is that a graceful restart during Daytona startup
continues automatically.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A chaos wave restarted the control plane gracefully (SIGTERM) while an
ACPX Claude run on Daytona was starting. At 2 s after `stage.workspace`,
the run failed with `local_runtime_api_listener_unavailable`, and the
executor persisted "same-run resume persisted" with `recoveryMode:
bootstrap_retry`. After the restart, restart recovery returned
`ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence` with disposition `blocked`. The
task rested blocked.

Evidence in the saved database at that point:
- Coordinator `phase: retryable_failure`, `attempt: 1`,
`controllerGeneration: 1`, controller identity recorded, and no lease
owner.
- `failureDetail` recorded `recoveryMode: bootstrap_retry`,
`checkpointExists: false`, `providerEventsExist: false` and
`providerSessionEstablished: false`.
- The run had no runner checkpoint rows, no
`native.process_start_requested`, no process identity, and no
runner-sourced event. It also had no PID and no provider session.

**Expected behavior**

Restart recovery starts the bootstrap again, as it does for a claimed
run that holds a lease (#19616) and for a local run.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a native run on a Daytona environment.
2. Send SIGTERM to the control plane after workspace staging and before
the runner is requested. The run settles as a same-run
`bootstrap_retry`.
3. Restart the control plane while that retry is due.
4. See that restart recovery blocks the task with
`ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`.

Root cause: in
`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-restart-recovery.ts`, the
`remoteRunnerNeverLaunched` condition required `phase === "observed"`
and a lease owner. The settled `retryable_failure` / `bootstrap_retry`
row failed that check. The remote classifier then returned
`ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`.

Refs #19616, #19596, #19583

## What Changed

- `native-restart-recovery.ts`: `remoteRunnerNeverLaunched` now accepts
one of two coordinator shapes:
  - an `observed` claim that holds a lease (unchanged);
- a `retryable_failure` with `recoveryMode: bootstrap_retry`, run status
`failed`, and no lease owner.
- All other proof conditions are unchanged. The run must still have no
process start, process identity, adapter, tool or runner-sourced event.
It must still have no process fields, no provider session, no provider
evidence and no checkpoint. The same three-attempt budget applies.
- An `exact_checkpoint_resume` retry keeps its own admission path.
- Admission: before claiming a settled retry, restart recovery applies
the same admission as the resumption reconciler
(`readNativeSessionResumptionAgent`): task pause hold, agent status,
dependencies, ownership, and competing runs. An ineligible retry is
deferred with `native_retry_admission_ineligible` and keeps waiting.
- `doc/run-log-events.md`: note the settled `bootstrap_retry` case.

## Verification

- Red, then green: `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts
-t "bootstrap retry"`. Before the fix, the proven case and the budget
case returned `blocked` / `ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`.
- New cases: the proven case gets `bootstrap_incomplete`. The
coordinator returns to `observed`, `nextAttemptAt` is cleared, the run
returns to `running`, and no recovery action is created. A requested
process start or a committed runner event keeps the hold. A spent budget
blocks with `execution_recovery_budget_exhausted`. An
`exact_checkpoint_resume` retry does not take this path.
- Regression: `native-runner-restart-recovery.integration`,
`heartbeat/recovery`, `native-restart-recovery`,
`native-bootstrap-retry.integration` and
`native-remote-retry-admission`: 337 passed, 14 skipped.
- Admission: a paused agent's due `bootstrap_retry` is deferred with
`native_retry_admission_ineligible`. It is not started (red before the
follow-up commit, green after).
- Live Daytona replay of `w-20261106T234719-s12/t02`, 3 runs, ACPX
Claude B1, using the recorded K4, K2 and K1 sequence. Image: the wave's
own `paperclip-daytona-runner@sha256:2767e91c…`, with runner inputs
pinned to its revision e482f0f632 locally. The replays ran the first
commit of this PR.
- Runs 1 and 3 passed R1. Run 2 passed R3: one Retry worked on the first
click.
- Runs 1 and 2 failed R6 because the wave-end sweep found a run lease
still in `pending_cleanup`. In run 1 the environment delete also timed
out. These failures are not in this change's path.
- The restarts landed in other startup windows, so none hit this exact
`bootstrap_retry` state. The integration tests cover that state with the
same evidence as the saved failing database.
- Run 2 also exposed a separate gap. A graceful drain that suspended a
remote run after the runner launched (`awaiting_runner_reattach`) was
blocked as ambiguous on the next boot. The Retry recovered it. That case
is outside this PR.

## Risks

- The proof still depends on the executor writing
`native.process_start_requested` before a backend may spawn a runner.
The fail-closed tests pin that gate.
- Restart recovery and the same-run resumption reconciler can both see a
due row. Both claim with a conditional update on phase and attempt, so
only one can win.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A chaos replay killed the control plane about 2 s after a claimed ACPX
Claude run started on Daytona. The kill came after `stage.workspace` and
environment acquisition, before `native.process_start_requested`. The
restarted server took over because the previous controller process was
dead. It then returned `ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence` with
disposition `blocked`. The task rested blocked as "Workspace repair
required".

Evidence in the saved database at that point: coordinator `attempt: 1`,
`controllerGeneration: 1`, previous controller identity recorded and
dead. Native workspace sync was `prepared`. There were no runner
checkpoint rows, no session checkpoint, no process PID or start time, no
provider session, and no execution-start or runner-sourced event. The
local session root was an empty directory.

**Expected behavior**

When durable evidence proves that no runner process was requested and no
controller checkpoint exists, recovery continues the run with a fresh
bootstrap. Any evidence that a runner may have started keeps the hold.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a native run on a Daytona environment.
2. Kill the control plane after workspace staging and before the
executor requests the runner process.
3. Restart the control plane.
4. See that restart recovery blocks the task with
`ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`.

Root cause:
`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-restart-recovery.ts`,
function `classifyNativeRunnerRecoveryEvidence`, remote branch. The only
no-checkpoint remote rule required an unclaimed coordinator (`attempt:
0`, no controller identity). A claimed run with no launch evidence fell
through to "ambiguous".

Refs #19583, #16349

## What Changed

- `native-restart-recovery.ts`: add the `remote_runner_never_launched`
proof, which leads to `bootstrap_incomplete`. It applies only to a
classic sandbox run with a prepared workspace and the preparation
fencing version. The run must have a real executor claim (controller
identity and lease owner) whose controller is gone (takeover allowed).
It needs no durable checkpoint, no session checkpoint, no process
fields, no provider session, and no provider evidence. The run must also
have no `native.process_start_requested`, process identity,
`adapter.invoke`, `tool.execution.started`, or runner-sourced event. The
same three-attempt budget applies. The shared event query moved into
`hasNativeExecutionStartEvidence`.
- `native-session-executor.ts`:
`restoreRemoteBootstrapCheckpointForRecovery` removes an empty session
root that preparation created. Without that step, the fresh bootstrap
read it as `durable_identity_unreadable`.
- `execution-recovery-resolution.ts`: the new
`executionRecoverySettlementNote` names a settled
`native_restart_recovery_blocked` hold as a stop after a server restart.
It no longer shows "Workspace repair required" because a later workspace
export was retried. Other causes keep their notes.
- `doc/run-log-events.md`: document the new reason.

## Verification

- Red, then green: `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts
-t "unlaunched|never requested|Postgres checkpoint"`. Before the fix,
the proven case (lease live with a dead owner, and lease expired) and
the budget case returned `blocked` /
`ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`. The empty-root executor case
failed.
- Fail-closed cases: these keep the hold:
`native.process_start_requested`, a process identity event,
`adapter.invoke`, a runner-sourced event, a recorded PID, a recorded
provider session, and a spent budget. A live claiming controller returns
`awaiting_evidence` / `controller_still_alive`. The existing
"contradictory evidence" cases (`claimed` with no controller identity,
`launch`, `process`, and others) stay blocked.
- Wording: `server/src/services/execution-recovery-resolution.test.ts`.
- Regression set (10 files, including `workspace-recovery`,
`native-safe-replacement`, `heartbeat/recovery`,
`native-session-executor`, and `native-restart-recovery`): 2035 passed,
14 skipped.
- Live Daytona replay of the failing chaos task, 3 runs, sequential,
ACPX Claude, double SIGKILL, current master plus this change. Image:
content-matched `paperclip-daytona-runner@sha256:5a29a797…` built from
c6eecac1e0, with runner inputs pinned to it, because the image-only
build sat in the Actions queue. Result: **3/3 PASS** (R1 pass; R2, R4,
R5, R6 and T pass). Each run's faults landed after the runner launched.
Recovery waited on the live remote controller lease, then continued
without a Retry. Run 3 continued through `reattach_remote_runner`. The
saved logs for runs 1 and 2 do not name their claim kind. The earlier
pre-launch window (the subject of this PR) is not hit reliably by replay
timing. The integration tests cover that window with the same evidence
shape as the saved failing database.

## Risks

- The proof depends on the executor writing
`native.process_start_requested` before a backend may spawn a runner
(`onSessionAdmission` in `executeNativeSession`). A future change that
spawns a runner earlier would weaken this proof. The fail-closed tests
pin the event as the gate.
- A fresh bootstrap acquires a new sandbox. The staged sandbox from the
dead attempt keeps its lease until run settlement releases all run
leases. It never ran a runner.
- The note change affects only settled holds with the cause
`native_restart_recovery_blocked`.

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs on Daytona start a `paperclip-runnerd` process in a
sandbox. The local control plane keeps the runner's controller state in
an encrypted Postgres checkpoint.
> - When the control plane restarts, restart recovery classifies each
live native run and decides to reattach, resume, bootstrap again, or
hold the task.
> - A restart chaos wave killed the control plane twice while a Daytona
runner was connecting. The run was claimed and the sandbox runner was
launched, but `session.open` never completed. No provider evidence
existed.
> - Recovery waited correctly for the old 60 s controller lease to
expire. Then the classifier had no rule for a claimed remote bootstrap.
It returned `ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence` and blocked the task as
"Workspace repair required".
> - The controller writes each command to the Postgres checkpoint before
it sends it. After the lease expires, that checkpoint is the complete
record of what reached the sandbox runner.
> - This pull request lets recovery prove from that checkpoint that no
provider work exists, and then start the same-run bootstrap again.
> - The benefit is that a restart during Daytona runner startup
continues automatically instead of stopping the task.

A restart during Daytona remote runner startup (native ACPX Claude, two
SIGKILLs about 20 s apart) left the task blocked. The run history showed
`remote_controller_lease_live` twice, then
`ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence` with disposition `blocked`. The
task showed "Workspace repair required"
(`native_restart_recovery_blocked`) and did not continue.

**Expected behavior**

When the durable controller record proves that the runner received only
bootstrap commands, recovery continues the run with a fresh bootstrap.
Any evidence of provider work keeps the hold.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a native run on a Daytona environment.
2. Kill the control plane after the sandbox runner connects and before
`session.open` completes.
3. Restart the control plane and wait for the old controller lease to
expire.
4. See that restart recovery blocks the task with
`ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`.

Root cause:
`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-restart-recovery.ts`
`classifyNativeRunnerRecoveryEvidence`, remote branch. It admitted only
an unclaimed bootstrap (`remote_execution_never_claimed`, #16349) or a
run with a provider checkpoint. A claimed bootstrap with no provider
evidence fell through to `ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`.

The decrypted checkpoint of the failed run held `connectionCount: 1`,
`run.prepare` delivered once and pending, `session.open` pending and
never delivered, no committed events, and `ackedSourceSeq: 0`.

Refs #16349, #19524

## What Changed

- `native-bootstrap-proof.ts`: move the incomplete-bootstrap predicates
from the executor into a small pure module. Restart recovery and the
executor now use the same proof. No behavior change.
- `native-runner-checkpoint.ts`: add
`nativeRunnerCheckpointProvesIncompleteBootstrap`. It reads only a
checkpoint with the bootstrap parts (header, cursor, `command:1`,
`command:2`), checks the run, runner instance, and session identity, and
applies the shared proof. A remote runner journal is not on this host,
so the proof uses the controller record alone.
- `native-restart-recovery.ts`: for a classic sandbox run whose owner
lease has expired, with a durable checkpoint, no session checkpoint, no
provider evidence, and no staged attachment, claim
`bootstrap_incomplete` with the reason
`remote_bootstrap_proven_incomplete` when the checkpoint proof holds. At
three provider attempts, block with
`execution_recovery_budget_exhausted`.
- `native-session-executor.ts`: add
`restoreRemoteBootstrapCheckpointForRecovery`. For a
`bootstrap_incomplete` recovery on a sandbox target, it restores the
Postgres checkpoint over the local external-state marker. The existing
incomplete-bootstrap proof then checks the restored state before it
quarantines the root and bootstraps again.
- `doc/run-log-events.md`: document the new disposition reason.

## Verification

- Red, then green: `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts
-t "remote bootstrap"`. Before the fix, the proven case and the budget
case returned `blocked` / `ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`.
- New cases: the proven claimed bootstrap gets `bootstrap_incomplete`
(attempt kept, generation +1, run still `running`, no recovery action).
The hold stays for a queued `turn.start`, an acknowledged event, adopted
state, no checkpoint, and a spent budget. The executor helper restores
the checkpoint only for a bootstrap recovery on a classic sandbox and
only over a marker for the same run.
- Regression set: `native-runner-restart-recovery.integration`,
`native-session-executor`, `native-restart-recovery`,
`native-bootstrap-retry.integration`, `heartbeat/recovery`: 1383 passed,
14 skipped.
- Live Daytona replay of the failing chaos task (double SIGKILL during
remote runner startup), 3 runs: REPLAY_RESULTS

## Risks

- A fresh bootstrap acquires a new sandbox. The old sandbox keeps its
lease until run settlement releases all run leases. The old runner gets
no turn command, because only the controller issues one and the new
controller never connects to it.
- If `session.open` reached the old runner, the old provider session can
exist without a turn. No provider work or tool call can happen in it.
- Any checkpoint shape other than the bootstrap-only shape keeps the
previous fail-closed hold.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, via Claude Code with
tool use (shell, file edits, GitHub CLI) and extended reasoning.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

**Root cause**

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

Red, then green, at each layer:

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

Suites run locally on the final revision:

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

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

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 dd889e6a0b feat: show the assignee's provider usage limit in task properties (#19270)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents run on the native Runner through the Codex app-server and the
Claude ACP harness
> - Both harnesses report the provider account's rate-limit windows:
Codex sends `account/rateLimits/updated`, and Claude sends its SDK
`rate_limit_event` as `usage_update._meta["_claude/rateLimit"]`
> - Paperclip dropped both signals, so an operator could not see that an
agent was near or past its provider limit
> - This pull request normalizes both signals into one account-scoped
snapshot, keeps the latest snapshot per agent, and shows it as one
"Usage limit" line in the task properties pane
> - The benefit is that an operator sees "5h 78% · resets 15:40" (amber
above 80%, "Limited until …" when the provider refuses work, "using
credits" when a used-up window falls back to credits) next to the
assignee, and can click it for every window

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19246
Refs #19259

**Is your feature request related to a problem?**
Codex and Claude report provider rate-limit windows during a run.
Paperclip dropped them: the Codex notification fell through the Rust
normalizer with no branch, and ACPX dropped Claude's `_meta`. Operators
could not see how close an agent was to its provider limit.

**Describe the solution you'd like**
Store the latest reported windows per agent and show one compact line in
the task properties pane, with a popover that lists every window.

**Describe alternatives you've considered**
A full gauge in the agent list and the run header. A design review chose
one property line with a details popover instead.

## What Changed

- Runner (Rust, the runnerd path): new `provider_rate_limits.rs`. Codex
`account/rateLimits/updated` becomes a `provider.notice.recorded` event
(category `provider.rate_limits`, scope `account`). `CodexProviderState`
merges sparse updates and emits a notice only when the windows change.
ACPX `usage_update` with a sanitized `rateLimit` field also emits the
notice.
- Runner (sidecar): `acpx-runtime-sidecar.ts` forwards only `status`,
`rateLimitType`, `utilization` and `resetsAt` from
`_meta["_claude/rateLimit"]`. This needs the ACPX `_meta` passthrough
from #19259. Until that merges, Claude emits nothing.
- Runner (TypeScript in-process drivers): the same mapping in
`codex-session-notifications.ts` and `codex-acpx-driver.ts` through
`drivers/provider-rate-limits.ts`.
- Shared: `provider-rate-limits.ts` holds the snapshot type, the parser,
the merge, and `summarizeProviderRateLimits` (fullest current window,
expiry by reset time, limited versus using credits).
- Server: `agent-provider-rate-limits.ts` merges each notice into
`agent_runtime_state.state_json.providerRateLimits`, scoped by company
and agent. A session reset keeps the snapshot. No migration.
- UI: `AgentRateLimitPropertyValue` adds a "Usage limit" row under the
assignee in `IssueProperties`. Transcripts treat the notice as run-log
only. A run status event refreshes the assignee's runtime state.
- Storybook: `Tasks and conversations/Task creation and lifecycle/Usage
limit property`.
- Docs: `doc/run-log-events.md` describes the notice and its storage.

## Verification

- `cd packages/paperclip-runner/runner && cargo test -p
paperclip-runner-core --lib rate_limit` and `--test
acpx_provider_events`: sparse Codex merge, dedupe, reached window,
checkpoint round trip, Claude utilization and rejection, notice shape.
- `cd packages/paperclip-runner && npx vitest run
src/drivers/provider-rate-limits.test.ts src/drivers/codex`
- `cd packages/shared && npx vitest run
src/provider-rate-limits.test.ts`: summary, expiry, limited, using
credits, parse and merge.
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/agent-provider-rate-limits.test.ts`: create and merge,
out-of-order snapshot, company isolation, unrelated notices, session
reset keeps the snapshot.
- `cd ui && npx vitest run src/components/transcript
src/components/issue-properties src/context/LiveUpdatesProvider`
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm check:token-gates` pass.
- Live test on a local worktree instance: a native Codex agent on a
ChatGPT subscription login ran a real task. The runner recorded one
`provider.rate_limits` notice. The server stored it. The task properties
pane showed "7d 100% · using credits" (this account's weekly window was
used up and had credits, and the run succeeded). The transcript showed
no extra row.
- Not verified live: Claude. The local Claude CLI was not signed in, and
the Claude path also needs #19259. The Rust and sidecar paths have
tests.
- Not run locally: the full `pnpm test:run` and `pnpm build`. CI runs
them.

## Risks

- Low risk. The snapshot is display data. It does not hold or start
work. The existing provider-limit wait (#19246) still reads typed run
failures.
- Codex can send a rate-limit update often. The runner emits a notice
only when the windows change, so run-log growth stays small.
- With API-key auth, the harnesses report no windows, so no row appears.
This is the intended result.
- `CodexProviderState` gains two optional serde fields with defaults, so
older checkpoints still load.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 d361f92071 feat(task-chat): show harness status notices as chips, out of the answer (#19267)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents run through the native runner. The runner turns harness
events from Codex and Claude into canonical provider events, and the
task chat shows them.
> - Harnesses report their own lifecycle: context compaction, retries,
model fallback, and warnings. Paperclip lost or mangled these reports.
> - Claude (claude-agent-acp 0.73) sends compaction, model-fallback and
warning banners as ordinary message text, so "Compacting..." ended up
inside the agent's answer and the issue comment.
> - Codex sends `error` with the text in `error.message` and a
`willRetry` flag. Paperclip read `params.message`, so every Codex error
said "Provider notice", and every retry looked fatal.
> - This pull request keeps these reports out of the answer and shows
them as small status chips between the turn's activity.
> - The benefit is that users can see why an agent paused, retried or
forgot earlier context, and the answer text stays clean.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**
Native runner provider-event mapping (TypeScript driver, ACPX sidecar
and Rust runner-core) and the task chat transcript.

**Problem or motivation**
Claude status banners are mixed into assistant answer text. Codex error
notices lose their message and their retry state. The task chat hid all
of these notices, and settled turns stripped every provider notice.

**Proposed solution**
Classify Claude banners as provider notices at the ACPX boundary. Map
Codex `TurnError` fields and `willRetry` correctly. Render status
notices as inline chips. A retry chip fades after later provider work. A
final error shows the real provider message.

**Alternatives considered**
Patch claude-agent-acp to tag banners in `_meta`. ACPX keeps only
`origin`, `kind` and `source` from `_meta`, and other sessions own the
ACPX `_meta` passthrough work. Banner chunks already have no
`messageId`, and model output always has one, so the classification
needs no adapter patch.

**Roadmap alignment**
This makes existing harness signals visible. It adds no new protocol
schema. It uses the existing `paperclip.provider.notice.v1` `category`
and `details` fields.

## What Changed

- Codex `error` notifications (TypeScript `provider-events.ts` and Rust
`runner-core/src/provider_events.rs`): read `error.message`, map
`willRetry: true` to a recoverable `provider_retry` notice, keep
category `error` for a final error, and add the `CodexErrorInfo` kind,
HTTP status, and the "Reconnecting... n/m" attempt count as notice
details. Retries in one turn share one notice id.
- New `claude-status-banners.ts`: classifies the claude-agent-acp
compaction, model-fallback and SDK informational banners. A chunk must
have no `messageId` and match a known banner exactly.
- ACPX sidecar and the TypeScript ACPX driver emit these banners as
`provider_notice` events instead of answer text. Compaction start and
end share one notice key and carry a `Phase` detail.
- Rust runner-core accepts an optional `noticeKey` and bounded `details`
on ACPX `provider_notice` events.
- UI: new `TaskChatStatusNotice` chip and
`status-notice-presentation.ts`. Status notices become top-level
timeline rows, render as chips wherever protocol cards render, and stay
visible in settled (historical) turns. Generic warnings stay hidden as
before.
- New tokens `--tc-status-notice-warning-*` in `ui/src/index.css`.
- Storybook story `Tasks and conversations/.../Task chat/Status notices`
with eight states.
- `doc/run-log-events.md`: describes the status notice categories.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/components/task-chat src/components/transcript`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec vitest run
src/provider-events.test.ts
src/drivers/acpx/claude-status-banners.test.ts
src/drivers/acpx/codex-acpx-driver.test.ts
src/cli/acpx-runtime-sidecar.test.ts`
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --lib provider_events` and
`--test acpx_provider_events`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- Storybook: open
`product-task-chat-status-notices--all-states-gallery`.
- Live test-drive on an isolated worktree instance:
- Codex (gpt-5.6-sol, app-server 0.160): a local pass-through proxy in
front of the real OpenAI API cut the first two response streams. Codex
ran its own retries. The chat showed an amber "Reconnecting" chip live,
then "Recovered after retry" once work continued. With every stream cut,
Codex made five retries and then sent a final error with the real
message.
- Claude (claude-haiku-5-5 through claude-agent-acp 0.73): a long
reading task triggered Claude's own auto-compaction twice. The chat
showed "Compacting context…" live and "Context compacted" afterwards.
The final answer and the issue comment contained no compaction text.
- Not verified live: model fallback and Claude informational banners.
They need a model refusal or a blocking hook. Unit tests cover them.

## Risks

- Low to medium. A Claude model message that is exactly a banner text
and has no `messageId` would become a notice. Model output from
claude-agent-acp always carries a `messageId`.
- Older stored Codex `error` notices (category `error`, not recoverable)
now render as a red row instead of being hidden.
- Claude retries (`api_retry`) are still not visible. claude-agent-acp
reports them only to clients that negotiate session-failure records, and
ACPX drops `_meta`. This is a follow-up that depends on the ACPX `_meta`
passthrough work.
- On a failed Codex turn the thread collapses to a summary, so the red
row does not show there. The existing task banner already shows the real
provider message.
- Some local suites failed on this machine. They do not touch the
changed code: Cursor Cloud staging-custody tests, the ACPX Claude
dependency-graph pin test (a timeout), and the Rust `task_memory`
monitor tests. CI is the reference for these.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 c6996799c4 feat(task-chat): show an inline diff for every file edit (#19269)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The task chat shows what an agent did during a run, including each
tool call
> - Codex and Claude both report the patch for every file edit, but
Paperclip dropped it. Claude's ACP `diff` content was never read. The
Codex `fileChange` item became a generic item with no patch. Codex
`turn/diff/updated` had no native-runner mapping
> - A reviewer could not see what an agent changed without opening the
workspace
> - This pull request carries a bounded patch on each edit call and
shows it in the edit row. Each turn that changed files ends with a
"Changed in this turn" card
> - The benefit is that a reviewer can check every change in the
conversation, with the same view for Codex and Claude

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19252 (precedent: canonical `plan.updated` events as a docked plan
card).

**Subsystem affected**
Paperclip runner (Rust and TypeScript canonical event mapping), PRP
provider-event schema, and the task-chat UI.

**Problem or motivation**
Edit rows say "Edited a file" with no content. Claude Edit/Write `diff`
content is lost after the ACPX sidecar. The Codex native runner drops
`fileChange.changes` and `turn/diff/updated`. The existing
workspace-changes card showed a raw text patch in a dialog, and only on
the in-process Codex path.

**Proposed solution**
Add an optional, bounded `fileChanges` list to
`paperclip.tool.execution.v1`. Fill it from Codex `fileChange` items and
Claude ACP `diff` content. Map Codex `turn/diff/updated` to
`workspace.change.updated` on the native runner. In the UI, show `+N −M`
on each edit row, open a compact colored diff, and end the turn with the
change set.

**Alternatives considered**
A runner-side git diff at turn end. It needs workspace access and extra
cost on every turn. The harness patches are already available. For
Claude, the UI builds the turn card from the edit rows instead of new
per-turn runner state.

## What Changed

- Protocol: optional `fileChanges[]` on `toolExecution` in
`provider-event.schema.json`, with the regenerated schema bundle,
validators and manifest. Paths are workspace-relative. A patch is at
most 32 KiB, and a call has at most 32 files.
- Runner (Rust): new `tool_file_changes.rs`. A Codex `fileChange` item
now also emits `tool.execution.*` with `fileChanges`; the native item
event stays for the recovery and progress projections.
`turn/diff/updated` becomes `workspace.change.updated`.
`normalize_acpx_tool_call` re-validates the sidecar's `fileChanges`.
`normalize_codex_notification_in` resolves absolute paths against the
session cwd.
- Runner (Rust): `has_bounded_rich_display_shape` accepts schema-valid
workspace diffs. Without this change, durable storage cut each patch
string to a 4 KiB preview. Patches use the uncapped secret redactor.
- Runner (TS): new `tool-file-changes.ts`. The ACPX sidecar computes
`fileChanges` from ACP `diff` content with the working directory. The
in-process Codex and ACPX mappers do the same, with an optional
`context` argument.
- UI: new `TaskChatDiffView` (colored rows, hunk labels, a height cap,
"Show N more lines"). Edit rows show counts and the diff. Collapsed
activity groups show edit totals. The workspace card is now "Changed in
this turn", with in-place per-file diffs, and it sits at the end of the
turn. When a harness sends no whole-turn diff (Claude), the card is
built from the edit rows. A change set is marked complete when its run
ends.
- UI: `native-run-events.ts` maps `workspace.change.updated` and
attaches each edit's latest patch to its row (the `diff` transcript
entries now carry `toolUseId`).
- Design tokens: `--diff-add-*`, `--diff-remove-*` and
`--sz-edit-diff-max-h` come from the status icon hues.
- Storybook: `Tasks/Edit diffs` story. Docs: `doc/run-log-events.md`.

## Verification

- Real runs on a local instance (`test-drive`, native runner):
- Codex (`gpt-5.6-sol`): the "Applied a patch" rows show `+9` and `+35
−2` with their diffs. The turn ends with "Changed in this turn", 2
files, `+42`, from `turn/diff/updated`.
- Claude (`claude-opus-5-5` via ACPX): the Write and Edit rows show
`+5`, `+14 −1` and `+9` with correct hunks. The turn card is built from
the edit rows.
- Codex model note: with `gpt-5.4`, pinned Codex 0.160 reports "model
metadata not found". The model then wrote files through the shell, so no
`fileChange` items occurred.
- `pnpm check:token-gates`: all gates clean.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/components/task-chat src/components/transcript src/adapters`: 1073
passed.
- `packages/paperclip-runner`: `vitest run src/provider-events.test.ts
src/tool-file-changes.test.ts src/cli/acpx-runtime-sidecar.test.ts`
passed. `check:protocol-types` and `check:protocol-manifest` match.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --lib provider_events
tool_file_changes`: passed. `cargo fmt --check`: clean.
- Storybook: open `Tasks and conversations/…/Tasks/Edit diffs`.

## Risks

- Larger payloads: an edit call can carry up to 96 KiB of patch in Rust,
and the sidecar keeps 48 KiB under its 128 KiB frame. Above the budget,
a file keeps its counts and drops its patch (`diffTruncated`).
- Redaction: each patch goes through the shared secret redactor. Before
this change, a 4 KiB preview cap also applied.
- Claude turn card: it joins each edit's patch in order. It is not a net
diff. For a file the turn created, the counts are net and exact. For an
existing file, the counts are summed over its edits.
- The workspace card moves to the end of the turn. One adapter test
changed to match.
- Local only: four Linux cgroup `task_memory` Rust tests fail on macOS.
They do not touch these modules.

## Model Used

Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), via Claude Code with tool use
(shell, browser and file editing) and a long context window.

DottaandPaperclip 818d2bb661 fix(native): preserve closed post-result failure diagnostics (#19126)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Native execution persists a result before it completes cleanup and
workspace export.
> - A later execution error enters the failure-write path.
> - That write must reject an already selected result. The existing code
reports lease loss for every rejected write.
> - This can hide the category of the first error even when the same
controller still owns an unexpired lease.
> - This change adds closed diagnostic labels after exact ownership and
accepted-result checks. It keeps the existing control error and recovery
policy.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A local real-PostgreSQL regression accepts a result through the
production control plane, then injects a harmless filesystem failure.
The production executor reports `native_session_lease_lost`. It loses
the original failure category because the failure transition requires a
null result ID.

**Expected behavior**

Keep the result guard and the existing lifecycle classification. Record
a closed diagnostic category when the selected result is accepted and
the controller still has exact, unexpired authority. Keep ordinary
lease-loss fencing when that proof is absent or its diagnostic lock is
busy.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the new post-result cases in
`server/src/services/heartbeat/runtime-execution.test.ts`. They use the
real executor, control-plane result commit, heartbeat recovery path and
PostgreSQL. The provider boundary is controlled. No live provider is
used.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The regression fails on base `7d1e9b3477`. Related open PR #16917
changes legacy lease recovery. Open #19063 adds terminal finalizer
reasons, and #15310 preserves database finalization errors. They do not
change this executor diagnostic branch. This change only adds native
diagnostic evidence and does not reclaim a lease.

## What Changed

- Add a typed diagnostic with a closed stage, category and
accepted-result flag. Do not retain the source message, path, arbitrary
code or lease token.
- After a rejected failure write, check the selected accepted result and
the exact company, task, run, owner, attempt, generation, process
identity and expiry. Use a coordinator-only `NOWAIT` lock. Fall back to
the original control error if the diagnostic read fails.
- Report the closed event after rollback. Keep
`native_session_lease_lost` as the error message and leave every
failure-write predicate unchanged.
- Add real-PostgreSQL safety cases for stale and expired authority,
owner replacement, Stop state, result selection, pending accounting, one
provider invocation, closed labels and diagnostic sink failure.
- Document the closed event, unchanged authority, and possible late
diagnostic sink completion.
- Add a competing-row-lock barrier. It verifies actual PostgreSQL lock
refusal and control settlement before the competing lock is released.

## Verification

- Permanent regression on unchanged base: RED because the closed
diagnostic is absent.
- NOWAIT mutation: RED when only NOWAIT is removed. PostgreSQL reports
lock timeout instead of immediate lock refusal. The test uses barriers
and the actual database error, with no elapsed-time assertion.
- Final related suites: 56 tests passed across runtime execution and
provider failure integration tests.
- Full server source and test typecheck: passed.
- Full `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed in an independent locked-dependency
checkout.
- Full `pnpm build`: passed.
- Full `pnpm test:run`: running in the independent immutable checkout.
All six chat shards passed; the remaining suites are still pending.
- The first current-head CI attempt failed in two cases: workspace
runtime initial fixture HTTP readiness and instructions-bundle
error-message rendering. Both exact cases passed in isolation on
unchanged PR head and base. The original causes remain unknown after
bounded test-only observation. One controlled same-head rerun of each
failed job passed. Current required CI and all other completed checks
passed. Original failures remain recorded; no infrastructure or
flaky-test claim is made.
- Module boundary check and `git diff --check`: passed.
- Exact-head Greptile: 5/5 with no actionable findings or open review
threads. Automatic native review remains queued. That advisory check is
not required by current master rules; no current-head native assessment
is claimed.
- Earlier fixture setup failures remain recorded. These included missing
fixture fields and observing the Drizzle wrapper instead of its
PostgreSQL cause. They are not the regression RED. An earlier broad
typecheck was interrupted for the required NOWAIT revision; the final
full typecheck passed.
- No hosted export recovery or original hosted failure cause is claimed.

## Risks

The extra read is diagnostic only. It uses NOWAIT and cannot wait for a
competing coordinator lock. Its failure preserves the existing control
classification. The event sink uses the existing 60-second
execution-control bound. A slow sink can finish later and emit a late
event. Result selection, Stop, accounting, retry eligibility and
provider work do not depend on event success. No schema or lifecycle
contract changes are required.

## Model Used

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

Devin FoleyandClaude Opus 5.5 6a45ea479e fix(heartbeat): retry failed legacy lease renewals until the deadline (#17851)
<!-- entire-trail-link-start -->
https://entire.com/gh/paperclipai/-/trails/52/changes/paperclip/52
<!-- entire-trail-link-end -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A legacy agent run keeps a durable controller lease. The server
renews the lease every 10 s. The lease lasts 60 s.
> - The lease watchdog stops the run when it loses the lease, because
another controller can then take the run.
> - #17032 moved renewal to a private pool. It also retries a renewal
that hits its statement timeout. But a renewal that fails with any other
error still stops the run at once.
> - Staging still shows this failure after #17032. A legacy run made 186
good renewals over 31 minutes. Then one renewal failed with an error
23.9 s after the last good renewal, and the watchdog stopped the run
immediately (`controllerLeaseLossCause=renewal_error`). The lease still
had about 36 s left.
> - This pull request retries a failed renewal until the lease deadline,
the same as a timed-out renewal.
> - The benefit is that one dropped database connection no longer
cancels a healthy run. The 60 s lease deadline still bounds the retries,
so the ownership guarantee does not change.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17032
Refs #16084

**What happened?**
A legacy agent run on staging was cancelled mid-turn. The run was
healthy. The cancellation evidence was
`cancellationSource=controller_lease` and
`controllerLeaseLossCause=renewal_error`, with
`controllerLeaseRenewalCount=186` and
`controllerLeaseSinceRenewalMs=23913`. The release already contained
#17032.

**Expected behavior**
One failed lease renewal must not stop a run while the lease is still
valid. The watchdog must try the renewal again. It must stop the run
only when the lease deadline passes or when the database rejects the
renewal.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a legacy run so that `watchLegacyControllerLease` watches it.
2. Make one renewal query fail with a connection error, for example
terminate its Postgres backend with `pg_terminate_backend`.
3. See that the watchdog aborts the run immediately with
`renewal_error`, although the lease has not expired.

## What Changed

- `watchLegacyControllerLease` retries a renewal that fails with an
error. It waits 1 s between attempts
(`LEGACY_CONTROLLER_RENEWAL_RETRY_DELAY_MS`). The existing lease
deadline stops the retries.
- A retried renewal is safe. The UPDATE is idempotent, and it still
requires this controller's boot ID and an unexpired lease. A rejected
renewal (no row updated) still stops the run at once with
`renewal_rejected`.
- If the deadline passes while the attempts still fail with an error,
the cause stays `renewal_error`. A statement timeout counts as a stall,
so it stays `renewal_deadline`, as before. A good renewal clears the
error state.
- `deadlineLateMs` is now recorded whenever the deadline ends the lease,
also for `renewal_error`.
- Tests:
- New embedded-Postgres test: it terminates the renewal's own backend
while the renewal waits on the run row. The renewal retries on a new
connection and keeps the lease. Without the fix, `assertOwned` rejects.
- New unit tests: one failed attempt is retried and the lease is kept; a
stall after a recovered error is still `renewal_deadline`.
- The existing `renewal_error` test now checks that a renewal that
always fails is retried and is reported as `renewal_error` at the
deadline, with its timings.
- `doc/run-log-events.md` describes the retry and the updated
`renewal_error` and `deadlineLateMs` meaning.

## Verification

- `server/src/services/legacy-controller-lease.test.ts` with embedded
Postgres: 23 tests pass.
- With the original `legacy-controller-lease.ts`, 4 of these tests fail.
One of them is the real-Postgres test that terminates the renewal
connection.
- `server/src/services/heartbeat/run-completion.test.ts` and the
`run-cancellation` tests: 35 tests pass.
- A typecheck of the changed files reports 0 errors. CI runs the full
typecheck.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change is limited to the legacy lease watchdog.
- A run with a permanently failing renewal now stops at the lease
deadline (at most 60 s after the last good renewal), not at the first
error. Another controller cannot take the run before the lease expires
in the database, so ownership stays safe.
- A non-transient error (for example a code bug in the query) is retried
once per second until the deadline. The cause label is still

DottaandPaperclip d8c1b9d4b5 fix(runtime): reclaim failed remote checkpoint retries (#18877)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native recovery must preserve the original execution and provider
state.
> - A failed remote run can retain its provider PID after heartbeat
releases the task execution lock.
> - Normal resumption excludes that PID, while restart recovery rejects
the released lock.
> - Recovery must reclaim that exact execution only after current
admission and durable ownership checks pass.
> - Failed retries and admission holds need separate finite budgets.
Neither can prove a provider stopped.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A failed remote native run remains in retryable failure without a task
execution owner. Normal resumption and restart recovery both reject it
before inspecting the preserved remote provider. The current remote
workspace reference format also misses the due-retry routing path.

**Expected behavior**

A due exact-checkpoint retry reclaims its original task execution only
when current ownership and safety gates permit it. Newer task input
prevents an old claim. Lost or ambiguous provider state still prevents
replay or replacement. Ineligible recovery eventually becomes a quiet
manual reconciliation obligation.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a remote native run and persist its provider checkpoint and
encrypted Runner authority.
2. Fail with exact-checkpoint recovery and a retained remote PID.
3. Release the task execution lock at heartbeat completion.
4. Run ordinary resumption and restart recovery after the retry
deadline.
5. Observe that both reject the same eligible run before remote
inspection.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced from source at `d59791828482`; integrated with upstream
`db9be4c5a6`.

**Deployment mode**

Remote workspaces with PostgreSQL. Local regressions use disposable
PostgreSQL and encrypted checkpoint persistence.

Related public repairs #18846, #18854, #18860 and #18841 cover finished
per-turn owners, pre-provider failures, unstarted follow-ups and storage
migration. They do not reclaim this failed run's released execution
lock. Merged #18879 also adds scheduled-resume lock retention and
reclaim. This PR keeps that compatibility and requires encrypted Runner
authority, canonical source ordering and a charged failed retry before
reclaim. Its scheduled-resume regression now uses a real encrypted
authority and retains a snapshot-only refusal control.

## What Changed

- Share normal admission checks and one guarded execution-binding
restore/event helper between normal and remote resumption.
- Keep agent-name normalization in a module with no imports. Preserve
heartbeat's existing export. Native admission no longer loads heartbeat
orchestration for a string key.
- Recheck company, assignment, agent eligibility, Stop, pause, approval,
dependencies, execution and checkout ownership before reclaim.
- Reject newer task input using PostgreSQL creation-time and ID
ordering, preserving timestamp precision.
- Require the recorded remote target, encrypted Runner authority, exact
checkpoint identity and existing controller fence.
- Commit task binding, controller lease, run status and recovery event
atomically. Recognize both remote workspace reference formats.
- Charge failed reattachments against the existing
three-provider-attempt budget, including retained-lock crash windows.
Active controller adoption preserves its charged attempt.
- Use the existing five-retry/30-minute system-recovery policy for
admission holds. Ended tasks and newer sources exhaust it immediately.
Preserve PID, checkpoint and task bindings, suppress resource
settlement, and assign manual reconciliation with executor stop/state
explicitly unverified.
- Register recovery intent before deadline writes; preserve live/future
deadlines quietly and roll back zero-row writes. Record changed hold
reasons once and terminal dispositions separately.
- Keep historical provider-budget exhaustion behind current
admission/source/controller/authority checks. Make an existing
orphan-cleanup fixture explicitly due.
- Include exact plugin task leases that have no workspace reference.
Reuse every reclaim and retry-budget guard, with a bounded
company/task/run lease projection.
- Share strict manual ownership proof across stale-lock cleanup,
adoption, queue release and wake admission. Require termination receipts
for every exact remote lease before normal cleanup can release either
binding.
- Preserve governing Stop through the existing audited cancellation
path. Its acknowledgement does not release an unverified provider.
Ordinary Retry can wait for exact Stop and file preservation, then queue
one continuation.

## Verification

- Current head is `5d7baf74aa89d00d7ac6e1493d38a6ce2ae7b7b5`. Its
[current CI
matrix](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41782198858)
is terminal and clean: 54 successful, three skipped and two neutral
contexts. Required `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e` pass. Greptile is 5/5 on
this exact head with no open findings. No fresh Paperclip 5/5 assessment
is claimed.
- The [prior complete CI
matrix](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41754365388)
passed on `3e641466d3edcaa6dd5021d979627082d388eb05`, with Greptile and
Paperclip both 5/5 and no open threads.
- All 233 tests across the six affected heartbeat, restart-isolation,
remote-admission, scheduled-resume and session-binding families pass on
production-identical `a5104fa89f9cb493091e000bf21ed3858871ae46` under
Node 24.22.2 and pnpm 9.15.4. They cover both workspace formats and
plugin task leases, competing controllers, exact rollback, Stop,
assignment/company boundaries, attempts, work-intent ordering, finite
backoff and quiet held state.
- The merge preserves #18931's per-run audit-failure isolation and this
PR's unchanged-transition hold. Two initial composition cases failed
because their setup or expected result described the older contract. The
rollback test now expects the exact per-run deferral while retaining
full coordinator equality and no work intent. The routine fixture writes
a real encrypted checkpoint through the normal owner before reaching the
actual routine unique constraint. No production admission guard or
rollback assertion was weakened. A separate agent reviewed this exact
merge and fixture delta without finding a blocker.
- Full recursive `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass on production
merge `89c616fe45ceff75db450f67fd34224b4df7441d`. Subsequent commits
change only three test files. Both the two-file `a5104fa` and final
`5d7baf` server test-layer typechecks pass.
- Four production-identical `a5104fa` probes pass with the rebuilt
actual Rust Runner, a scripted ACPX subprocess and encrypted PostgreSQL
checkpoints under Node 24.22.2. Workspace-reference and plugin-lease
admission each cover surviving and lost providers. Replacement preserves
one provider launch, one original side effect, the charged attempt and
restored task execution binding. Lost providers reject snapshot recovery
without replacement. This is protocol-boundary evidence, not a live
Claude or hosted provisioning claim.
- Initial `a5104fa` CI found one additional routine integration fixture
missing the persisted `exact_checkpoint_resume` mode. Its encrypted
checkpoint was already present. The exact case fails locally before
repair and passes after recording that mode and expecting the charged
provider attempt. Every exact routine conflict, rollback, checkpoint,
task binding, successor-count and sibling-startup assertion remains.
Final head changes only that fixture. The correct native-server group
passes all nine files: 175 executed cases and 14 container-only skips,
matching the now-successful native-server CI gate.
- The earlier canonical HTTP Retry acceptance passed on the prior
reviewed head with real PostgreSQL, the recovery worker and real files.
Pending Stop protects both bindings and starts no successor. Exact
termination and copyback queue one preserved-workspace continuation. No
browser or live-model outcome is inferred from that test.
- The predecessor's full local `pnpm test:run` failed in an unchanged
Discord Gateway fixture with a 200 ms lease and a 422 initial ownership
error. Focused predecessor and untouched-base controls pass; that
full-run cause remains unproved. The required command was also started
on production-identical `a5104fa`. All six local chat shards passed,
covering 1,850 cases. The duplicate local invocation was interrupted
with SIGINT while the general-server group was still running after this
head's complete CI and the combined repair qualification had passed. The
wrapper exited 1 on cancellation, no process retained its test log, and
no full local pass is claimed. An earlier attempt to select the native
lane through the CI wrapper instead selected local package sharding:
2,631 cases passed and 13 failed. Those separate failures are retained
without causal attribution or unrelated source changes; that run is not
counted as native-server qualification. The direct native group and
current complete CI matrix pass.
- Live Claude Opus 5.5 continuation, hosted plugin provisioning,
deployment and recovery of historical tasks remain unverified. No
original task was retried or mutated for this verification.

## Risks

- Restoring a task binding grants remote inspection; it does not prove
that the provider survived.
- Unknown effects, lost providers and missing semantic results retain
their existing reconciliation requirements.
- Exhausted admission holds preserve execution bindings and resource
evidence for manual reconciliation. They do not authorize a fresh
executor or provider/resource release.
- The source guard is conservative: newer task input prevents recovery
of an older failed source.
- No database migration or provider profile change is required.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, tool use, code editing and
shell execution. The runtime does not expose the exact model snapshot or
context window size.

DottaandPaperclip c39e076638 fix(runner): retain the cause of closed ACPX sessions (#18872)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents and their work.
> - Runner records provider failures so the task can show their cause.
> - An ACPX control request can fail and close its session before the
event pump runs.
> - The next poll then reports only that the session is closed.
> - A second cleanup error can also drop a valid startup cause.
> - This pull request retains each failure at its existing reporting
boundary.
> - Operators can inspect the cause while the failed session stays
closed.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: Refs #18622, #18847, #18854. Those changes preserve provider
causes and handle proven startup failures. This change covers a control
failure after provider execution starts.

**What happened?**

A rejected sidecar control closes the ACPX session. A later poll
replaces its error with `ACPX provider session is closed`. The native
terminal loses the control classification. Separately, cleanup can
discard an existing validated startup cause.

**Expected behavior**

Retain the first control classification in the failed terminal. Do not
invent a provider explanation for that code. Keep a validated startup
cause when cleanup also fails. Keep the session closed, uncertain tool
outcomes pending, and the existing recovery checks effective.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start an ACPX turn and receive an authorized tool call.
2. Return its result after the provider has retired that call. The
sidecar rejects `tool.resolve`.
3. Poll the native backend. Before this change, the terminal reports
only the closed-session guard.
4. For the separate startup case, combine a rejected `session.open`
cause with a cleanup error. Before this change, the combined error drops
its validated provider cause.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The two subprocess regressions and the cleanup-composition regression
fail against unchanged production code at `683fa4725e`.

**Deployment mode**

Native Runner with ACPX. The process regressions use the real Rust
subprocess transport and durable native backend. Their controlled
stale-tool rejection matches the production sidecar response shape. The
separate cleanup unit injects a cleanup error at the existing
error-composition boundary.

## What Changed

- Retain the first failure in the ACPX session and return it from later
closed-state checks.
- Keep the validated provider cause when cleanup also fails.
- Match the stale-tool fixture to production. It carries the closed code
and no invented provider cause.
- Cover a rejected tool result, normal shutdown, raw sidecar-text
exclusion, pending tool preservation, refusal of another turn, and
terminal replay after controller restart.
- Document the existing failure and recovery boundary.

## Verification

- Red: both process regressions fail on the base code. Polling replaces
the named control failure with the generic closed-session error. The
cleanup unit also fails because the combined error loses its existing
startup cause.
- Green: all 12 ACPX session tests, all 36 native backend tests, and all
four session unit tests pass. The stale-tool cases require the
classification and absence of an invented provider cause.
- Commands: `cargo test --manifest-path
packages/paperclip-runner/runner/Cargo.toml --locked -p
paperclip-runner-core --test acpx_provider_session` and the same command
with `--test native_provider_backend`.
- Map structure and whitespace checks pass.
- At head `981faa4`, the full Runner core Rust suite passes: 847 tests
passed and three existing tests are ignored. Workspace typecheck and
build pass. The existing TypeScript provider-failure and
durable-settlement boundary suites pass all 30 tests.
- An earlier concurrent local Rust attempt missed an existing Codex
diagnostic deadline. That case passes alone on baseline and head, and
the final full suite passes with the local socket support its tests
require.
- Complete current-head CI passes: 55 successful checks, five
intentional skips and two neutral checks; no failed or pending checks.
Both `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e` pass.
- Failed CI attempts were investigated before rerunning affected jobs.
Logs showed runner shutdowns/lost communication, an unchanged Windows
WebSocket authentication deadline, and an unchanged Cursor Cloud
Stop-fixture assertion. The Cursor Cloud case passes on baseline and
head. No test assertion or CI guard was disabled.
- The local full `pnpm test:run` invocation passed all six chat
partitions, covering 1,838 expanded cases. It was stopped as a duplicate
while still in general-server after complete sharded CI passed. A
completed local full Vitest run is not claimed.
- Greptile and Paperclip reviewed the corrected head at 5/5 with no
actionable findings. There are no unresolved review threads.
- The process test exercises control rejection, process cleanup, durable
terminal persistence, and controller restart. The provider boundary is a
deterministic sidecar fixture. It is not a live Claude or hosted
recovery test.
- A genuine provider refusal or uncertain external effect remains
unresolved. This change preserves its evidence and does not make it safe
to replay.

## Risks

- The first control classification becomes visible where a generic
closed-session error appeared before. Raw sidecar error text stays
excluded. Startup details use the existing validated and redacted
`ProviderFailure` contract.
- A stored failure must not grant execution authority. The failed
session still rejects calls and new turns. Normal shutdown has no
fabricated failure cause.
- No provider profile, digest, retry budget, process ownership rule,
migration, credential, or permission change is required.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with source inspection, code editing,
command execution and regression tests. The exact runtime snapshot and
context-window capacity are not exposed in this session.

commitperclip[bot] a00109aa35 fix: Preserve sanitized ACP JSON-RPC error details and numeric codes in run errors, summaries, and acpx.error records (#18087)
> [!NOTE]
> Opened by Prospector's automated issue-fix pipeline. A maintainer
reviews and decides; nothing here merges on its own.

> [!WARNING]
> This change crosses a trust boundary. See Risks.

## Thinking Path

- Issue #16034 reports a defect in paperclipai/paperclip.
- Root cause, as the fixing agent read it: emitAcpxFailure in
packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/execute.ts built the run error,
summary, and acpx.error message from Error.message alone. It ignored the
JSON-RPC error's 'data' explanation and numeric 'code', so every ACP
phase failure (create runtime, ensure session, configure session, turn)
showed only 'Internal error'.
- This pull request: Preserve sanitized ACP JSON-RPC error details and
numeric codes in run errors, summaries, and acpx.error records

## What Changed

- `packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/execute.ts`: This change is
kept from the earlier attempt. The shared failure handler reads the
explanation from a string 'data', 'data.details', or 'data.message'. It
appends that text to the message unless the message already contains it,
and runs the result through sanitizeTerminalSessionFailure. A numeric
JSON-RPC code is recorded as errorMeta.rpcCode. Errors without these
fields keep their old message.
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/execute.test.ts`: The existing
harness keeps the earlier it.each case, which covers all four phases,
all three detail shapes, redaction, and rpcCode in the acpx.error
record. A new case in the same harness covers the checks that only the
separate file had: detail text already in the message is not repeated,
and a plain Error stays unchanged with no rpcCode.
- `doc/run-log-events.md`: Documents the change to the acpx.error
record: which detail formats are read and in what order, the rule
against repeating detail text, the redaction and 4,096-character title
limit applied through the existing sanitizer, and the optional integer
'rpcCode' field.

## Verification

- Reproducing test(s), added in this PR:
`packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/execute.test.ts`
- They fail on the base commit and pass with the fix, each twice in a
fresh sandbox.
- The repository's compile command passes with the fix applied.
- 9 existing test file(s) near the change passed.
- The full test suite passes except for the 11 file(s) that already fail
on the base commit.

## Risks

- Written by an automated pipeline, not a person: review it as you would
an outside contribution.
- Risk tier of the touched paths: 2.
- The scope reviewer found it also changes, beyond the report: Plain
Error, non-object throw, string or Node errors with string codes
(ENOENT), and data that is empty, missing, non-string or malformed
- The scope reviewer found it also changes, beyond the report:
messageOverride callers (turn timeout, handshake guard)
- It crosses a trust boundary. Check each crossing against what the
issue asked for, and against who asked:
- data-exposure
(packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/execute.ts:3626): Text the ACP
child process controls (JSON-RPC error 'data', 'data.details' or
'data.message') is now added to the run error message and summary that
users see; it passes through sanitizeTerminalSessionFailure redaction
first.
- logging (packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/execute.ts:3651): The
'acpx.error' run-log record now carries the provider's explanation in
'message' and a new integer 'rpcCode' field, both supplied by the child,
on every failure route that calls emitAcpxFailure without a
messageOverride, including the handshake-guard route that suppresses
stderr.
- data-exposure
(packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/execute.ts:3639): The numeric
JSON-RPC error code from the child is now copied into
'classified.errorMeta.rpcCode', which reaches the adapter result's
errorMeta and the places that store or show it.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 9fb06afbfa fix(runner): explain ACPX session-start failures and name typed causes (#18847)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native Runner starts ACP providers (Claude, Codex, Pi and others)
through the ACPX sidecar. `session.open` starts the provider session.
> - When the provider session does not start, Runner reports
`classification=session_ensure_failed`. If the provider failed with a
plain error and not with an ACP `RequestError`, no provider cause
crosses the sidecar. Then the run error, the run events and the run log
do not say why the session did not start.
> - A provider can also type the failure, for example with ACP's
authentication-required code. Runner reported that failure with the same
generic classification. The server could not tell a limit or a sign-in
failure at session start from other startup failures.
> - On one instance, a Claude agent hit its provider usage limit. The
first run failed in the turn with a typed limit failure. Each later run
for many hours failed at `session.open` with only
`session_ensure_failed`. Operators could only guess the cause from the
timing.
> - This pull request keeps a redacted, bounded cause for every session
ensure rejection. It names a typed provider category in the closed
classification.
> - The benefit: an operator can read why a session did not start, and a
later recovery change can treat a typed startup failure by its category.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18622, which added the `ProviderFailure` cause for startup and
turn failures. This change closes the remaining startup gaps. Refs
#17543, which is a related open change to the same classifier. It keeps
the JSON-RPC code range as a closed code. The two changes edit the same
lines, so the second one to merge needs a small rebase.

**What happened?**

A native ACPX run failed before its first prompt with `ACPX sidecar
command session.open was rejected (retryable=false,
classification=session_ensure_failed)`. When the ensure rejection was
not an ACP `RequestError`, the run had no other cause data. When the
provider typed the failure (for example ACP `-32000` "Authentication
required"), the classification stayed the same generic value.

**Expected behavior**

Every session ensure rejection keeps a redacted provider cause that an
operator can read on the run. A typed provider failure keeps its
category in the cause and in the closed classification. Provider text
never goes into the closed error text.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Make `runtime.ensureSession` reject with a plain `Error`, or with an
ACP error that has code `-32000`.
2. Open a qualified ACPX runtime through the sidecar.
3. Before this change, the plain error has no `providerFailure`, and the
`-32000` error has category `unknown` and
`classification=session_ensure_failed`.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `e0276e0166c`.

## What Changed

- `acpxProviderFailure` reads ACP's reserved authentication-required
code (`-32000`) as category `authentication`. It also reads the
`errorKind` that Claude ACP puts in ACP error data (`rate_limit`,
`billing_error`, `authentication_failed`, `overloaded` and others). The
category table is now a `Map`, so an `errorKind` such as `constructor`
cannot select an inherited object key.
- The session ensure path in `codex-runtime-adapter.ts` keeps a cause
for every rejection. A rejection without an ACP error keeps its own
message, redacted with the launch environment and the existing
credential patterns, with category `unknown`. An abort reason is Runner
cancellation, so it does not become a provider cause. A non-`Error`
rejection now keeps its cause on the wrapper error.
- `acpx_sidecar_transport.rs`: for `ACPX_SESSION_ENSURE_FAILED`, a
schema-valid cause with a typed category gives
`classification=provider_<category>` (for example
`provider_quota_exhausted`, `provider_rate_limit`,
`provider_authentication`). An untyped or invalid cause keeps
`session_ensure_failed`. Only the validated enum value is used. The
cause's text never goes into the error string.
- `runnerd-codex-transport.ts`: when a command result has a provider
cause, the reported error now keeps Runner's closed ACPX rejection text,
so the classification stays in the run error. Before, it changed that
text to "Provider request failed". Any other message (for example a
Codex `RPC failed: ...` message) still gets the generic text. Provider
text still travels only in `providerFailure`.
- The credential-free Pi probe (`pi-closed-startup.test.mjs`,
`scripts/pi-public-install-probe.mjs`) now expects
`provider_authentication`. Pi reports its missing credential with ACP's
authentication-required error.
- Docs: `doc/run-log-events.md` and
`doc/architecture/runner-pi-capabilities.md`.

**What the Claude ACP agent returns at session start**
(`@agentclientprotocol/claude-agent-acp` 0.73.0 with the repository
patch, and the ACPX 0.13.1 patch):

- `newSession` and `loadSession` call `createSession`. It throws
`RequestError.authRequired` (`-32000`) only for a claude.ai subscription
when gateway auth is hidden. It throws `invalidParams` for a bad `cwd`
and `resourceNotFound` for a missing resumed session.
- Any other error, for example a failed SDK `initializationResult()`,
becomes a generic `-32603 Internal error`. The ACP SDK puts the raw
message in `data.details`, or the parsed JSON body in `data` when the
message is JSON.
- The typed AIR `sessionFailure` (category `limit`, `access` and others)
is sent only on prompt responses and on `session_info_update`
notifications. `loadSession` history replay also sends one for each
earlier usage-limit message, but that notification does not show whether
the limit is still active. The `errorKind` data is attached only by the
prompt loop.
- Thus a usage limit at session start has no typed signal on the ACP
error. The cause keeps the provider's message, and the existing `API
error: NNN` status parse can type it. This change does not add more
free-text matching.

**Shape for a recovery consumer:** the server reads the cause with
`providerFailureFromError(error)`, as it does now. A startup cause has
`phase: "startup"`, a `category` from the `ProviderFailure` schema and
its `retryability`. The run error keeps
`classification=provider_<category>` for a typed ensure failure, or
`session_ensure_failed` when the category is `unknown`.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run src/drivers/acpx src/cli
src/drivers/provider-failure.test.ts
src/live/runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts
src/live/runnerd-codex-transport-settlement.test.ts` in
`packages/paperclip-runner`: 103 of 104 files passed, 2214 tests. The 2
failures are in `installation-integrity.test.ts`. They fail the same way
on unmodified `origin/master` in this checkout (a temporary `server.js`
cannot resolve a module).
- New tests: a plain ensure error keeps its message with the
launch-environment secret and an `sk-ant-` value redacted; a `-32000`
ensure error gives category `authentication`; a non-`Error` rejection
with `errorKind: "billing_error"` gives `quota_exhausted`; an aborted
handshake gets no cause; typed and untyped ACP errors; a closed ACPX
rejection keeps its classification and a changed one gets the generic
text.
- `npx vitest run src/control-plane/acpx-controller-recovery.test.ts`: 8
passed.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --no-fail-fast`: all passed. New
unit test: typed categories give `provider_<category>`; `unknown`, no
cause, a category outside the schema and an extra field each keep
`session_ensure_failed`; other closed codes keep their own
classification. New pipe test through the fake sidecar: the cause
survives the rejection, the classification is typed or generic, and the
cause text is not in the error string. In the first full run, two
`stdio_mcp` relay tests timed out. They passed in the second full run.
They do not use the changed code.
- `node --test test/acpx-sidecar-contract.test.mjs
test/protocol-contract.test.mjs test/pi-closed-startup.test.mjs`: 29
passed. The Pi probe is skipped without the Pi distribution.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner typecheck` (TypeScript,
`cargo fmt --check`, `cargo check`): passed. `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/paperclip-runner build`: passed.
- Server, after the runner build: native provider failure, run
completion, task interruption presentation, Antigravity probe and the
related native session executor tests: 639 passed.
- Not verified: a live Claude account at its usage limit. I could not
run the credential-free Pi probe, because this checkout has no Pi
distribution. Its new expectation follows from the Pi patch, which
raises `RequestError.authRequired` for the missing credential.

## Risks

- The run error for an ACPX startup rejection with a cause now shows
Runner's closed rejection text, not "Provider request failed". This text
has only closed codes and is the same text that the run error showed
before #18622. Provider text stays in `providerFailure`.
- A plain ensure error message now becomes a displayed provider cause.
Redaction applies before the 4,000-character bound. A new credential
format that the patterns do not know can still need a new pattern. The
same risk applies to all provider causes.
- The classification of a typed ensure failure changes from
`session_ensure_failed` to `provider_<category>`. No server code matches
`session_ensure_failed`. The Pi probe expectation is updated.
- The category and retryability are evidence only. This change does not
change retry policy.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) through Claude Code, with tool use
(shell, file edits, test runs). The runtime does not expose the context
window or reasoning configuration.

DottaandPaperclip b22ef22d56 fix(runner): show provider failure details on tasks and runs (#18622)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native Runner starts providers and records their run outcomes.
> - Provider failures can contain useful details below a generic
protocol error.
> - Those details were lost at the sidecar, command receipt, and run
projection boundaries.
> - A blocked task therefore showed a generic failure even when the
provider gave a clear reason.
> - This pull request carries a bounded, sanitized provider failure
through those boundaries.
> - Operators can read the actual cause on the task and run pages.
Existing recovery policy still controls retries.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17543 for the related closed JSON-RPC classification work. Refs
#17272 for provider recovery in the legacy OpenCode adapter. This change
adds display evidence for native Runner providers and keeps recovery
policy separate.

**What happened?**

A native Claude session returned an HTTP 429 message below an ACP
`Internal error`. The task and run showed only a generic startup
failure. Operators had to inspect the provider response to learn that
the account was rate limited.

**Expected behavior**

The task and run show the sanitized provider message, provider name,
startup or turn phase, and available HTTP status. Unknown categories
keep the message. Display evidence does not grant a retry or replace a
recovery decision.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a native Claude run whose account is rate limited during model
selection, or return a structured provider failure from a Codex or
OpenCode turn.
2. Let the run fail and open its task page.
3. Before this change, the page shows a generic failure. With this
change, the page shows the provider explanation. The run page shows the
same explanation after reload.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Source checkout based on `f8a888a072`.

## What Changed

- Add one JSON Schema for `ProviderFailure` and generate matching Runner
and shared TypeScript readers. Keep the Runner package independent of
the app workspace at runtime.
- Normalize known ACPX, Codex, and OpenCode error fields. Preserve
unknown messages. Redact known credential values and credential patterns
before applying the 4,000-character limit. Do not copy response bodies,
headers, stacks, or prompts.
- Carry startup failures through the sidecar, Rust Runner, durable
command receipts, and private transport error details. Keep provider
text out of generic transport error strings and Sentry failure messages.
- Keep turn failures in authenticated run events. Recover the same
evidence from persisted events during server finalization. Store the
cause in the company-scoped run result.
- Show one shared notice on failed tasks and run details. Keep existing
retry permissions, scheduled retry state, and resolved-task behavior.
- Reapply registered run-secret and current-user redaction to task
display data. Batch secret lookups for only the visible provider causes.
- Document the contract and update the capability maps. Add regressions
for nested Claude 429 errors, OpenAI quota and rate limits, OpenCode
errors, redaction, durable receipt replay, restart finalization, and UI
rendering.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed. `pnpm build` passed. All GitHub Actions
build, test, package, and validation jobs passed on `d49c79ab4a`. The
security checks passed. Greptile gave this head 5/5 with no open review
threads. Paperclip Review remains pending. Its review worker exhausted
six workspace recovery attempts with export_interrupted. A fresh review
request was accepted and is waiting for that saved workspace. The
ordinary Retry action rejected reuse of the stopped request. This is an
external review-worker blocker; no check was overridden. The duplicate
local `pnpm test:run` was stopped after the CI test shards passed.
- Focused server settlement, provider evidence, and restart tests: 93
passed. Runner admission and normalization tests: 103 passed. Focused
Runner wire and terminal tests: 29 passed. The real Rust/sidecar command
receipt replay test passed.
- The new projection test failed before implementation because the task
had no provider cause. The startup producer regression also failed
before extraction moved ahead of the generic error-code replacement.
Both pass with this change.
- Live check: a rebuilt local sidecar received an actual Claude HTTP 429
during startup. The new cause kept the full provider message. A
synthetic task in an isolated local app then reached the same provider
error through the native Runner path. The dedicated run result, task
API, task banner, and run detail all showed the same message after
reload. The later reporting fix keeps run.error generic; a regression
proves the display cause still survives restart and stays out of Sentry
capture.
- The first isolated app attempt failed earlier in
`admission_credential`. An ordinary manual Retry reached the provider
and produced the 429 above. This PR does not claim to fix that separate
admission failure. An initial parallel local database test setup also
failed; the serial restart suite passed.
- Security review found that copying display text into run.error could
forward it to Sentry. A regression failed with that behavior. The fix
keeps the cause in its display field. All 38 settlement/restart tests
and the server typecheck pass.
- All 29 protocol contract tests pass, including bounds and extra-field
rejection. An earlier full Rust core run passed. The later full run hit
one 5-second receipt-limit timing assertion; its isolated rerun passed.
The full Linux and Windows Rust CI jobs passed on this head.
- Review regressions pass for explicit Codex driver identity, native
Rust startup and resume receipt propagation, oversized OpenCode/ACPX
errors, task read-time registered-secret redaction, and the standalone
source closure. The focused Runner run passed 103 tests;
projection/restart tests passed 16.
- Read-time redaction edge cases passed: a missing decryption key omits
only the unsafe optional explanation; expanded redacted messages remain
visible within the Unicode character limit. All 14 task projection tests
and server typecheck pass.
- The package Build check found an old Pi assertion against
Error.message. The probe now checks the exact closed classification in
the authenticated receipt and requires the new provider cause. Both
polling transport cases pass. A local credential-free Pi probe stopped
at admission_installation because this checkout lacks the Pi
distribution; the installed Linux package probe passed in CI on this
head.
- UI coverage includes startup and turn text, unknown categories,
literal rendering of provider text, read-only retry behavior, and
resolved-task suppression. Token gates and map checks passed.
- The live check covers Claude startup on macOS. Codex, OpenCode,
terminal failures, and restart paths have deterministic regression
coverage. The change is not deployed.

## Risks

- Provider messages are untrusted text. The boundary selects specific
fields, redacts credential patterns and known environment secret values,
bounds the message, and renders plain text. New provider-specific secret
formats may need added redaction patterns.
- Optional fields preserve compatibility with older producers and stored
runs. Old runs without the field keep their current fallback text. No
database migration is required.
- The cause stays in company-scoped run data. This change does not send
provider text to first-party Telemetry or add it to OpenTelemetry span
attributes.
- Normalized categories and retryability are display evidence. Existing
recovery classifiers, retry limits, ownership checks, and approval gates
keep their authority.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and browser verification. The host does not expose the exact
serving variant or context window size.

DottaandPaperclip dbff3747b8 feat(server): persist run logs and provider traces in S3 (#18327)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Operators use run logs and restricted provider traces to inspect
agent work.
> - Local log and trace files depend on the web server's persistent
volume.
> - That dependency prevents overlapping volume-backed Railway
deployments.
> - This PR reuses the instance S3 store for batched log and trace
payloads with conditional publication.
> - Existing Postgres rows retain their contracts; native export
recovery reuses events already committed before Runner acknowledgement.
> - S3-configured servers automatically copy and verify retained history
before a later deployment cutover.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Server run logs, restricted provider traces, storage providers, and
migration tooling.

**Problem or motivation**

Replacing the web server and its disk must preserve committed log output
and retained traces. The current S3 mirror can repeatedly upload a
growing file. Moving those payloads into Postgres would add database
writes, WAL, replication, and backup work.

**Proposed solution**

Reuse the existing instance storage configuration, S3-compatible
provider and credential chain. Store new run logs under run-logs/ and
opted-in raw traces under provider-traces/, below the existing prefix.
Cloud keeps its existing bucket and bucket-scoped credentials per stack.
Add no new configuration switches. Store immutable payload segments and
bounded binary range indexes directly in S3. Publish each batch with an
ETag-conditional head. Keep existing database ownership and lifecycle
records. Recover canonical native exports from their existing validated
control event source, checkpointing export progress in S3. Add no new
payload writes to Postgres. Preserve local defaults and migrate settled
history with verified byte counts and digests.

**Alternatives considered**

Postgres payload chunks add control-plane load. Repeated whole-file
mirrors amplify transfer work. The first index prototype left superseded
index nodes; the final binary index keeps all normally published nodes
reachable.

**Roadmap alignment**

This is a storage prerequisite for replacing the main web/API server. It
does not enable deployment overlap, detach a volume, or change native
Runner protocol acknowledgements. The maintainer approved this
implementation scope. ROADMAP.md has no duplicate implementation item.

Related PR: #16770 improves the existing in-flight mirror. This PR
preserves that legacy backend and uses the existing instance S3 profile
for new journals.

## What Changed

- Automatically select S3 segments for new logs and opted-in traces when
instance file storage uses S3. Reuse bucket, endpoint, region, prefix,
path style and credentials. Remove separate backend switches. Keep
local-disk instances local.
- Share the existing storage configuration resolver with product files.
Preserve config-file settings, environment precedence and the existing
root prefix. Keep pre-existing run-log mirror settings for legacy
history.
- Add bounded buffering, conditional ownership fencing, immutable range
reads, stable byte offsets, and completion hashing.
- Dispatch all existing log consumers through the recorded backend.
Coalesce output progress writes and publish live log messages after
storage receipts.
- Recover interrupted canonical native exports from their existing
durable source. Exclude separate credential, cleanup, and reprojection
records. Replay missing callback ranges and deduplicate late delivery.
Repair settled archives after controller lease expiry. Bound shared
repair work and stop it when all readers cancel. Serve the published
prefix when best-effort repair fails.
- Add encrypted optional trace channels, replacement reads, durable
deletion tombstones, and deadline-driven local/external expiry cleanup
independently of heartbeat scheduling. Stream historical source and
remote verification. Propagate worker cancellation through trace open,
conditional-write probing, upload, restore and reads. Fence deletion
even before the first object head exists; abort and drain owned
captures.
- Retry transient storage errors, distinguish 409 from failed
preconditions, and backpressure bounded log admission. Track interrupted
trace imports explicitly so ordinary local deletion stays independent of
S3.
- Automatically migrate retained history through the existing delivery
coordinator. Process one log and one trace per batch. Retry unresolved
history with backoff and stop scans after completion. Keep the
inventory/import command as optional diagnosis and repair. Verify source
and remote bytes before switching references. Verify finalized native
size and digest before setting its export cursor. Require ordered source
coverage when completeness metadata is missing. Preserve original trace
expiry. Block active, missing, corrupt, and unproven sources.
- Preserve identity and run-secret redaction in live and recovered
native logs. Register runtime log redaction secrets once through the
existing encrypted registry. Keep agent private keys in their existing
owner.
- Add storage, migration, retention, UTF-8, and route-privacy coverage,
plus operating documentation and qualification tooling.
- Add no schema, payload table, per-record SQL, production dependency,
or lockfile change.

## Verification

- Final fixes at `b3a44c898e` passed all 116 selected startup,
retention, attribution and cancellation controls. The disabled-scheduler
cleanup and concurrent-repair defects reproduced red before the fixes. A
timed-out repair still prevents later storage reads.
- The merged source passed 124 storage and real-Postgres Cloud
configuration tests. These include automatic history migration, existing
environment/file vault keys, source-directory removal, five real-SDK
stalled-request cancellation cases, shared capability-probe cancellation
and multi-chunk trace ordering. Saved Cloud S3 settings work after the
legacy config file is gone.
- Workspace typecheck and full build passed at the merged parent
`19f702d780`. Server typecheck and build passed again at `b3a44c898e`.
- Actual app acceptance: finish a process-agent run through the normal
API, stage its retained local-file input, then restart. Automatic
migration reports one migrated item and zero blockers. Remove the
original web home and restart at `b3a44c898e` with an empty home, the
existing S3 profile and the existing vault key file. The normal log API
preserves all five producer lines and exactly 788 bytes, with SHA-256
`74d9ae469da28bfe89b9b50a0e132aec24fe9e6d686496ed5e4ffa6167151036`. No
log-specific storage settings are present.
- Actual expiry acceptance: with heartbeat scheduling disabled, a trace
remains unexpired after startup and later reaches its fixture deadline.
The worker marks the row deleted and tombstones both S3 channel heads.
The retained run log stays byte-identical. The process fixture emits no
provider protocol frames, so nonempty encrypted payloads are qualified
separately through the real SDK round trips.
- Isolation tests use identical run identities in two stack buckets.
Cleanup in one existing prefix leaves another prefix, another company
and product files intact. Read-only Cloud source inspection confirms a
bucket and bucket-scoped credentials per stack. Four existing Cloud
storage environment-contract tests passed. No Cloud provisioning changed
and no new live vendor permission probe was performed.
- Earlier qualification passed 1,014 affected storage/native tests and
27 privacy-route tests with isolated Docker Postgres. An abrupt process
test commits 1,000 records, receives receipts, dies by SIGKILL and loses
its directory; another process reads every byte and continues. The real
Rust Runner experiment acknowledges 32 records while the export cursor
is zero, then continues the same Runner PID after controller loss. All
64 records export once with exactly 64 existing control rows. Repeated
snapshot/Stop commands completed in 162/81 ms.
- Emulator workload: 1,000 burst records used two batch PUTs. Eight
steady streams produced 240 records with 104 conditional PUTs and 72
GETs over 6.9 seconds. These are synthetic operation counts, not fleet
sizing or provider prices.
- Failure evidence is retained. Compact native events over 64 KiB,
missing file-key support, disabled-scheduler retention and repair
failure handling all reproduced before their fixes. Fixture repairs
addressed cold module setup, localhost/IPC permissions, the S3
bucket-name limit and a mode-0700 crash-test directory. Full local `pnpm
test:run` was stopped after host PostgreSQL semaphore exhaustion;
affected suites used isolated Docker databases instead. Native package
library symlinks were restored with the package's standard hydration
helper.
- The `19f702d780` browser session-recovery case timed out while saving
a task title. All eight browser shards passed on `b3a44c898e`, including
that case, with no UI behavior or assertion change. Fresh-head CI passed
at `b3a44c898e`: 55 successful checks, three skipped checks and one
neutral check. The branch is conflict-free.
- Map and module-boundary checks passed. Current-head Greptile is 5/5
with zero unresolved review threads.

Reproduce the opt-in storage suites with
`PAPERCLIP_LOG_TEST_S3_ENDPOINT` and a dedicated
`PAPERCLIP_RUN_EVIDENCE_MIGRATION_DATABASE_URL` ending in `_test`. See
`doc/run-evidence-storage.md` for operating limits, automatic migration,
optional diagnostics and rollout qualification.

## Risks

- Keep the existing per-stack bucket, prefix and vault key stable across
replacements. Relocating that storage is a separate whole-instance
operation.
- This release automatically changes new log storage for existing
S3-configured instances. Local-disk instances remain local. Canonical
native source replay is qualified with a deterministic real Runner;
actual remote execution and production-provider qualification remain
rollout gates. Generic server-only diagnostics and optional raw trace
tails without a surviving source can be incomplete after a crash. This
does not establish full zero-downtime deployment.
- Before deploying this release, qualify the actual S3 provider. It must
enforce conditional writes and pass read, version, deletion, workload,
and latency qualification. A capability probe rejects providers which
ignore preconditions. Moto is emulator evidence only.
- Dirty output is bounded and unconfirmed until S3 publication. Storage
failure leaves persistence incomplete while task results and usage can
settle.
- Trace expiry is not yet represented by Cloud's external wake contract.
Outstanding trace deadlines conservatively block sleep.
- Automatic history copying requires the original source volume. Keep it
until all retained resources pass verified import and clean-filesystem
reads. Stop old binaries from creating new local-file runs. Missing or
corrupt history remains blocked and visible in server logs. Rollback
requires a compatible reader against the same external state. Ordinary
object deletion does not erase retained historical object versions or
backups.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, `gpt-6.1-sol`, with reasoning, tool use, code execution,
and browser verification. The runtime did not expose a context-window
size.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 35ab90ad0f Map runtime activity to authorized task plugin panels (#18131)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents and tasks.
> - Plugins contribute views to the task sidebar.
> - A ready view can belong to an earlier task.
> - Runner records activity under its authenticated run.
> - This PR maps that activity to installed task-panel declarations.
> - The sidebar checks readiness after current-run use and restores use
after reconnect.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Builds on merged contract #18129 and Runner publisher #18050. This PR
targets
master and is ready for review. Earlier combined verification is
retained in
[the verification
archive](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18050#issuecomment-6489369676).

**Subsystem affected**

Run-event reads, plugin task contributions and the task sidebar.

**Problem or motivation**

Readiness polling can show a view left ready by another task. Reload and
reconnect must recover current-run use without losing concurrent live
activity.

**Proposed solution**

Map recorded activity to installed task-panel declarations. Merge
authorized
history and live activity, then perform bounded readiness checks for the
running agent. Preserve the existing read-only view.

## What Changed

- Add optional `{ namespace, activityKey }` activation mappings to
task-panel
declarations. Legacy declarations remain valid but contribute no task
panel.
- Add `view=plugin-panels` to the existing run-events route. Preserve
run-read and
telemetry-read authorization, secret redaction and private-run denial.
Map
activity to installed contributions and return at most 128 panel
identities.
- Scope activation caches to current panel versions and activity
declarations.
Preserve unchanged panels during unrelated plugin updates and history
reads.
- Merge history and live hints without losing concurrent activations.
Filter by
  company, task, run and agent. Restore history on mount and reconnect.
- Replace periodic availability checks with up to three readiness
attempts after
activity. Fresh activity restarts settled transient failures. Pending
checks,
  successful readiness and HTTP 4xx failures are left alone.
- Reuse live run updates with the panel cache key. Recover only panel
history
after a pending subscription read. Mark expected not-ready query results
so
  the global error reporter skips them; real failures remain reportable.
- Preserve current-run dismissal and the read-only plugin view. Update
manifest
  comments and producer/consumer documentation.

## Verification

- Current head: `5e04d757c`, based on master `09c05c550`. Range
comparison
confirmed all six feature commits were unchanged by the rebase. The
final
follow-up keys readiness by the plugin installation ID and availability
path.
- `cd ui && node ../node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run
src/hooks/useTaskPluginPanels.test.tsx`
— all 45 cases passed. `cd ui && node ../node_modules/typescript/bin/tsc
-b` passed.
- The shared query-client and live-update recovery selection passed 96
cases on
  `49c544cd2`. Token gates passed before the final hook-only changes.
- Earlier focused verification passed 57 manifest cases, 69
database/history cases,
event-registry cases and route authorization cases, including
private-run denial.
- Regression coverage includes subscription/history races, task changes
during
recovery, unfocused run completion, bounded readiness retries, denied
reads,
expected not-ready responses, changed activity mappings, unchanged panel
preservation, old cache scopes, and same-version route or installation
changes.
- [Current-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40942001707)
passed: 54 successful checks, two skips, no failures or pending checks.
- [Standard and final
review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18131#issuecomment-6489842168)
both scored 5/5 on `5e04d757c`. The final review used the Apex tier,
added no
comments, and left no unresolved findings. The PR is conflict-free and
ready for review.
- Local checks stay targeted. GitHub CI provides the broad build, test,
typecheck,
browser and Runner coverage. No deployment or live-provider acceptance
is claimed.

<details>
<summary>Retained failures and recovery evidence</summary>

- `ac9329548` twice failed a browser reload assertion while conversation
history
was concealed. Master fixed its readiness wait in #17923. The approve
journey
then passed locally on `fea63a418` with installed Chrome (1 passed, 39
seconds).
All eight browser shards passed in later CI. The browser test is outside
this diff.
- A canary checkout failed with Git HTTP 408; its unchanged-head retry
passed.
- `de07d09fa` failed the mobile Cases card click after a ten-second
stability wait.
The same read-only journey passed locally on that exact head (1 passed,
26 seconds).
Its unchanged-head CI retry passed 22 cases, with one skip. The original
artifact
  is retained; the cause of that click timeout is not established.
- [CI on
`49c544cd2`](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40903679075)
passed 54 checks with two skips. CI also passed on `de07d09fa` after the
recorded retry.
- The `1e59ab441` merge checkout passed all browser and server suites.
Runner
shard 2 passed 2,252 cases and timed out waiting for a
controller-recovery command.
The test had landed on master in #18161 after the former branch base.
Rebasing
aligned the local checkout with that code; Runner shard 2 then passed on
`fcf7380d3`.
The original timeout cause remains unproven; no unrelated timeout was
changed.
- [CI on
`fcf7380d3`](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40940235193)
recorded runner shutdown signals in typecheck and a workspace shard. A
chat
recovery test observed a null wake deadline, and one Runner transport
fixture
failed during close. Those separate assertion failures remain
unexplained.
All of those jobs passed on the final readiness-key head. Those later
passes
establish recovery; they do not prove the cause of the earlier assertion
failures.
- Local browser setup first stopped at pnpm version-download
verification, then a
sandbox IPC restriction, then a missing bundled browser. Installed pnpm
9.15.4
  and Chrome completed the journeys. No dependency files were changed.
- Earlier optional-property TypeScript errors were corrected. Embedded
PostgreSQL
needed its install hook run from its package directory. Older CI also
recorded
fixture-cleanup lock timeouts, attention-fixture timeouts, and canceled
server
shards after runner shutdown. The parent fixed its FIFO snapshot-copy
failure
before merge. The linked verification archive retains earlier combined
evidence.

## Risks

Activity is a hint and grants no access. Missing plugins, denied reads
and
unavailable views contribute no panel. Older runs without activity
records show
no task plugin tab. A used view stays available for the running task;
reconnect
reconciles readiness. Matching producer and consumer builds are
required. No
migration, dependency, image publication or deployment is included.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, repository tools and code
execution.
The exact serving snapshot is not exposed.

DottaandPaperclip 9e09d8f51f fix(runner): clarify native approval argument recovery (#18205)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - First-task onboarding requires a saved human proposal decision
before child work can start.
> - Native proposal tools reject interaction metadata placed outside
their advertised schema.
> - The existing rejection text focuses on question forms and does not
explain the misplaced approval metadata.
> - This pull request explains the field placement and keeps approval
recovery in its original confirmation or checkbox kind.
> - It also retains safe schema guidance in the run log so operators can
identify the rejected field.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #18025 for native first-task proposal recipes and #16889 for safe
native schema guidance. Related open PR #18105 changes separate server
API-client guidance.

**What happened?**

A native first-task confirmation copied `version` and
`supersedeOnUserComment` to the tool root. Both belong inside `payload`.
The runner correctly rejected the call before execution, but its
feedback described question forms. Later calls kept the misplaced field
and changed the approval into a question. No proposal card was created.
The run log retained only a generic schema error.

**Expected behavior**

Keep strict validation. Explain the nested field locations. Keep a
confirmation or checkbox approval in that kind while correcting its
arguments. Save the normal pending card and wait for an actual human
decision. Retain bounded schema guidance without storing rejected input.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Send an otherwise valid native confirmation with root-level `version:
1` and `supersedeOnUserComment: false`.
2. Observe the pre-dispatch `invalid_tool_call` rejection.
3. Move both fields into `payload` and keep `interactionKind:
"confirmation"`.
4. Verify that the corrected call creates one pending confirmation,
exact replay creates no duplicate, and child creation still needs saved
human acceptance.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The observed argument shape and initial regressions came from public
source base `c32e1ba6`. The repair is based on maintained master
`4a6f6a65`. Public tests use synthetic prompts and identifiers.

## What Changed

- Give rejected confirmations and checkboxes approval-specific guidance.
It names `payload.version` and `payload.supersedeOnUserComment` without
suggesting a question-form recipe. Other human-input errors retain
complete question-form guidance and stable question/option ID
instructions.
- State the allowed native root fields in the first-task skill and put
the metadata inside both executable proposal recipes.
- Retain the existing safe guidance in `semantic_tool_denied`
diagnostics. Keep the original rejection identity and
`paperclipExecuted: false`.
- Preserve only the exact bounded scalar diagnostic payload after
verified event admission. The rest of the envelope and all API
request/result bodies keep their existing redaction.
- Add a real native Codex transport regression and strengthen
advertised-schema, card replay, human-admission, persistence, and
privacy controls. Update the execution contract and onboarding maps.

## Verification

- Red: the native transport reproduced the malformed confirmation and
showed that the old hint omitted the metadata correction. A second red
confirmed that approval guidance still included the question-form
recipe. The corrected transport case now rejects before execution,
retains a safe hint, and dispatches one corrected confirmation that
returns a pending card.
- Red: both shipped recipe checks lacked explicit nested metadata. All
49 first-task admission tests now pass, including advertised-schema
validation, idempotent card replay, actual human acceptance, agent-only
rejection, and question-answer controls.
- Updated native checks pass on the current repair: 95 native Codex
transport tests with 2 existing ignored cases, all 32 provider-bridge
tests, and the schema-feedback unit control.
- API/case persistence regressions were red before the event-boundary
correction. All 71 affected port/redaction tests pass in a clean run at
frozen head `3be3a70f`, including the corrected envelope privacy
regression. The focused 16-test persistence/privacy group and server
typecheck also passed earlier.
- Full local `pnpm build` and `pnpm -r typecheck` pass at exact head
`3be3a70f` in a clean detached checkout with Node 24.22.0 and pnpm
9.15.4. Exact-head CI passes: [full PR
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40950360142)
and [isolated native Runner
readiness](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40950359835).
- The full local unit attempt recorded a 15-second timeout in the
unrelated Microsoft Teams 100,000-character existing-comment publication
case. That failure remains recorded. The exact isolated rerun passed (1
test; 1,814 unselected). The aggregate timeout cause is unproven. That
long local run straddled subsequent source edits and also observed the
two port regressions during their red phase; it was stopped and is not
final-head evidence. The clean affected-suite run above and current-head
CI provide the final verification. No timeout or assertion was weakened.
- Release-registry CI initially rejected the native test's compile-time
schema include outside the release crate's hashed input closure. The
guard was reproduced locally. The test now reads the current canonical
schema at execution. All 10 crate-cache controls and the real native
approval regression pass afterward; the cache guard and workflow keys
remain unchanged.
- Current-head Greptile review is 5/5 with no unresolved review threads.
All required checks pass (56 success, 4 skipped). The advisory Paperclip
Review remains neutral/incomplete after one normal re-review request; no
completed assessment or score is claimed.
- `cargo fmt --check`, map structural checks, and `git diff --check`
pass.
- Source and scripted-provider checks do not prove that a model will
follow the guidance. The original live onboarding attempt remains
failed; acceptance at a deployed revision is separate work.

## Risks

- This changes repair guidance and shipped instructions. It does not
make malformed arguments valid or supply a human decision.
- Diagnostic retention adds no rejected arguments, values, or unknown
input keys. The API receipt allowlist is unchanged. The validated-event
exception restores only the safe scalar payload; optional debug and
other envelope metadata still pass through redaction.
- The existing 512-byte guidance bound, strict tool schema, company/run
binding, idempotency checks, and proposal admission remain effective.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol (`gpt-6.1-sol`) through Codex, with tool use and code
execution. The context-window size is not exposed to this session.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 27be859044 Record runtime activity under Runner authority (#18050)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents and tasks.
> - Runner owns each authenticated run and its provider process.
> - Runtime clients need to report successful activity in that run.
> - A retained process can outlive a run, so an operation needs current
authority.
> - This PR captures that authority before the operation and records
activity afterward.
> - Core can consume the event through the existing run stream.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Builds on merged #18129 and targets master. The dependent consumer is
#18131.
Test stability fixes were separated into merged #18128. Earlier
combined-head
verification remains in [the
archive](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18050#issuecomment-6489369676).

**Subsystem affected**

Runner activity recording and provider command environments.

**Problem or motivation**

A retained provider process can complete an operation after its original
run ends.
Runtime clients need a host-attributed event and a helper that works
inside the
provider sandbox.

**Proposed solution**

Capture opaque Runner context before use. Publish a structured
notification after
success. Runner checks current authority and records
`runtime.activity.recorded`.

## What Changed

- Add `notification-context` and `record-activity CONTEXT NAMESPACE
ACTIVITY_KEY`.
Rotate context on warm attachment and process recovery. Accept no caller
run ID.
- Use one private named pipe. Reuse Runner's bounded JSON-line reader.
Serialize
concurrent publishers with a read-only lock. A blocking reader queues at
most
  128 records; the existing control loop handles at most 16 per pass.
- Grant Codex access to the exact helper, descriptor, lock and pipe.
Preserve
other filesystem and network limits. Preserve host discovery values
through
provider launch boundaries and reject configured-environment overrides.
- Update source identities to Pi 34, Copilot 81 and Grok 12. Keep
historical
  identity fixtures and recovery behavior.

## Verification

- Targeted release notification and sandbox-policy tests: seven passed.
They cover
run rotation, recovery, Unicode limits, concurrent writers, malformed
and partial
  records, bounded queues, failed persistence and fixed-path cleanup.
- Real CLI integration and pinned Codex 0.160.0 sandbox checks: passed.
The sandbox check uses no model, credential or network call. It verifies
activity
recording while unrelated state reads and parent-directory writes remain
denied.
- ACPX profile generator check, formatting and diff checks: passed.
- Rebased onto master `31b927e30` at head `64d0248a8`. Master used the
same profile versions, so the resolution preserves its Pi 33, Copilot 79
and Grok 11 fixtures byte-for-byte and creates new identities. All
identity checks pass. Five targeted provider/environment/recovery files
pass 168 tests with one existing skip; the Rust Pi admission regression
passes. The notification module and Codex sandbox implementation are
byte-identical to the tested pipe head `671373fe0`.
- Removed the mailbox traversal reported by security review. Its
regression replaces
the pipe path with a 100-level tree and an unreadable leaf. Shutdown
preserves the
leaf, performs no traversal and completes promptly, including with a
partial record.
- An initial targeted test failed because its run-rotation fixture
updated config
without updating durable state. The corrected fixture passes. Runner
also rejects
  inconsistent run bindings.
- Previous head `26abbf62b` passed Runner, build and browser CI. Server
shard 11/12
failed in unchanged `attention-service.test.ts`: cleanup/test timeouts
were followed
by a duplicate `ATQ` fixture key. The final head needs fresh CI and
review.
- CI on `64d0248a8` completed with 52 successful checks and four
intentional skips. Runner Vitest shard 1/2 failed when retained-state
copies encountered the live FIFO; the aggregate also failed. Standard
review scored 4/5 and found relative pipe paths plus late context
publication. Follow-up `5c3f14d32` places IPC in a private canonical
temporary directory and publishes context before welcome commands. Its
relative-state CLI test, two authenticated reconnect cases, seven
notification/policy cases and real Codex sandbox pass. One affected
retained-settlement case passes with the matching release binary; the
other 18 cases remain for CI. The sandbox denies sibling-directory and
lock writes. All build, test and security checks pass on `5c3f14d32`;
standard review is 5/5 with no unresolved threads. The requested Apex
review is 5/5 on this exact head, with no findings or unresolved
threads.
- Earlier broad test results in the archive apply to their recorded
source revisions.
Per the requested workflow, final local checks stay targeted; GitHub CI
supplies
  broad coverage.

- After Apex completed, master advanced again and conflicted on Copilot
identity. Head `e94a9359d` is rebased on master `8ac5a128e`; it
preserves the published Copilot 80 fixture and uses Copilot 81. The
notification module, Codex sandbox and durable control-loop code are
byte-identical to Apex-reviewed `5c3f14d32`. All 131 targeted
installation/compatibility/recovery cases and identity generator checks
pass. All 55 checks pass with four intentional skips on the rebased
head. Standard review is 5/5 with no unresolved threads. Apex is 5/5 on
`e94a9359d`, with zero findings and no unresolved threads. GitHub
confirms this head is conflict-free and ready for review.

## Risks

Activity remains an optional hint and grants no access. A successful
helper exit
means publication to the pipe; Runner persists accepted events through
its existing
durable outbox. Full queues, unavailable helpers or failed writes can
drop a hint
without failing the operation. Context reads are local and do not wait
for the
control loop. Publishers have a 500 ms lock deadline and a 2 KiB record
limit.
IPC lives outside durable state. Idle transport blocks; cleanup removes
its fixed files and empty private directory. The host must provide
`/usr/bin/mkfifo`. Rebuild matching Runner/provider artifacts for the
updated source
identities. No dependency, migration, live provider call or deployment
is included.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, repository tools and code
execution.
The exact serving snapshot is not exposed.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 80a2b9284b Define durable runtime activity events (#18129)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents and tasks.
> - Runner reports durable run events through PRP.
> - Runtime clients need a typed record of reported activity.
> - The event must keep the normal run authority and read boundaries.
> - This pull request adds the generic runtime activity event contract.
> - Later PRs can publish and consume this contract without private
plugin coupling.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

First feature prerequisite extracted from #18050. Runner publishing is
#18050; the dependent consumer is #18131. Related independent test
stability work: #18128. The parent search and review history is
preserved in [the verification
archive](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18050#issuecomment-6489369676).

**Subsystem affected**

Runner event protocol, server run-event persistence and redaction, and
UI event taxonomy.

**Problem or motivation**

Core needs a durable, typed activity record tied to the authenticated
run. A text marker is not an event contract.

**Proposed solution**

Add `runtime.activity.recorded` as a P1 event with a closed `{
namespace, activityKey }` payload. Runner knows no plugin or panel
identity. Run/session identity, sequence and emission time stay in the
outer envelope; Core resolves company, task and agent through the
authorized run binding. Use the existing authenticated persistence,
acknowledgement, replay and redaction paths.

## What Changed

- Define and validate the event in PRP v1, v2 and v3. Update the
generated protocol artifacts and event catalog.
- Preserve saved and live event redaction. Test persistence, replay
deduplication and the existing run-read boundary.
- Register the event in the UI taxonomy without changing panel display
behavior.
- Advance the source-bound Copilot identity to 78. Retain all published
historical identity fixtures without changing their bytes.

## Verification

- Root `pnpm typecheck` and `pnpm build`: passed for the revised
activity contract.
- Node protocol checks: 14 passed. Provider identity and registry tests:
185 passed. Server tests: 103 passed. UI event registry: five passed.
- Maintained Grok and Copilot identity generator checks and `git diff
--check`: passed.
- The first activity-contract review scored 4/5 because the dependent
producer and readers still used the earlier contract. Both dependent PRs
are now updated and restacked; the finding is resolved and review is
running again.
- Initial extraction retained a consumer-only import in one server
suite. That suite failed to load. The consumer case and import were
moved out; the final three server files passed all 103 cases.
- Earlier panel-specific head `6137c50bc` had green CI and standard/Apex
5/5. Those scores do not qualify this revised activity contract. Fresh
CI and reviews are pending. Earlier combined results in the archive
apply only to their recorded source revisions.

## Risks

This change is additive. It adds no route, publisher, filesystem
transport, provider sandbox grant, or panel display behavior. Activation
hints grant no permission to read a plugin view. Provider identities
bind the changed protocol source; historical identities remain
decode-only. No schema migration or dependency change is required.

execution. The exact serving snapshot is not exposed.

DottaandPaperclip 743698e700 fix(runner): preserve OpenCode bash process exit codes (#18076)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native Runner stores structured tool events so people can inspect
actual work.
> - OpenCode puts a completed bash command's process exit in
`state.metadata.exit`.
> - The canonical event mapper only read `state.exit`, so a real nonzero
exit became unknown.
> - This pull request preserves the documented builtin bash exit and
rejects conflicting evidence.
> - The benefit is an accurate process exit without changing tool
completion or native run status.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A completed OpenCode bash part with `state.metadata.exit: 37` produced
`exitCode: null`. The process result was present, but the canonical tool
event lost it. The pinned upstream [shell
result](https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/blob/v1.18.34/packages/opencode/src/tool/shell.ts#L544-L552)
and [completed
part](https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/blob/v1.18.34/packages/opencode/src/session/processor.ts#L160-L170)
establish the field path.

**Expected behavior**

The canonical event retains the numeric process exit from a completed
builtin bash part. A completed tool call can have a nonzero command
exit. Missing or invalid evidence must not become a successful command.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Pass a `type: "tool"`, `tool: "bash"` part with completed state and
numeric `metadata.exit` to `canonicalProviderEventsFromOpenCodePart`.
2. Inspect `tool.execution.completed.payload.exitCode`.
3. Before this fix, the value is null. After this fix, it matches the
process exit.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on master `f4f02880cae4f5fa54d47d39565ca99b6b72446d`.
Duplicate searches found no matching fix. Related PR #15715 concerns
OpenCode V2 transport and version support; it does not change this
mapper.

## What Changed

- Read numeric metadata exits only from completed builtin bash parts.
- Keep legacy numeric top-level exits. Return unknown when supplied
legacy evidence conflicts.
- Cover zero and nonzero exits, invalid values, foreign tools,
incomplete calls and conflicting receipts.
- Document the run-log field and the distinction between tool completion
and command success.

## Verification

- The regression suite first failed five assertions on the unchanged
mapper. All 53 provider-event tests now pass.
- A focused no-emit TypeScript check covers the changed mapper, its
tests and imported protocol validators.
- Tests use synthetic structured parts and real protocol validation. No
local database, provider, SDK build or live scenario was run.
- All 48 jobs in the normal PR workflow passed, including the required
`ci / verify` and `ci / e2e` gates. CI also executed all 53
provider-event tests.
- Greptile reviewed this exact head at 5/5 with no actionable findings.
The separate hosted quality-gate review also completed successfully.

## Risks

- Conflicting legacy and metadata exits now remain unknown for completed
builtin bash calls. This avoids selecting one inconsistent value as
proof.
- Other tools retain their existing legacy behavior. Output prose never
supplies an exit code.
- The change adds no schema field and changes no provider version,
budget, accounting, fixture or native run outcome.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` through Codex, with reasoning and terminal tools.
The session does not expose the context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 505e1a5582 feat(cases): add persistent workflows with same-task agent handoffs (#16959)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - An agent workflow needs persistent facts and a safe way to transfer
work.
> - Creating a task for each phase splits the objective, discussion,
workspace, and review policy.
> - A case can retain the facts while one primary task moves between
agents.
> - Transfers must survive process failure and preserve private access,
budgets, and completion gates.
> - This pull request adds durable case handoffs, native case tools, and
read-only case pages.
> - Prompts describe the workflow. Existing task controls decide when
work can run and finish.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Problem or motivation**

Prompt-driven agent teams need a persistent record that can move through
triage, implementation, verification, and correction. Ordinary
reassignment does not provide a durable instruction, safe release
barrier, or recoverable delivery receipt for an agent handing off its
own running task.

**Proposed solution**

Extend standalone cases with one primary task, a descriptive phase,
retained access sources, and a handoff ledger. Apply assignments after
source execution and workspace settlement. Deliver each transfer through
the existing durable wake queue. Provide `create_case`, `read_case`,
`update_case`, and `handoff_case` in the native runner. Creation
requires kickoff and explicit workflow text. An explicit handoff to
`done` closes the case when normal task completion is accepted.

**Alternatives considered**

Do not add a workflow engine, filesystem queue, configured state graph,
or one task per phase. The workflow document combines transition prose
with an optional Mermaid `stateDiagram-v2` map. The server does not
execute the diagram. The Pipelines experiment removed on master stays
removed.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends Agent Reviews and Approvals, Enforced Outcomes, Bounded Run
Recovery, and Activity Log attribution. Existing approval, review,
budget, privacy, workspace, and responsible-user rules remain
authoritative.

Related work: [ordinary handoff wake
recovery](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/15019). This
feature adds a separate persisted case-handoff receipt and release
barrier.

## What Changed

- Add case routing fields, retained access sources, durable handoff
history, delivery leases, and replay-safe migrations.
- Keep the same primary task across agent phases. Preserve each
returning agent's own session and the task's workspace.
- Fence outgoing mutations, wait for provider and workspace release, and
recover delivery without duplicate task comments or runs. Recheck
current assignment permissions as the original caller before applying a
delayed transfer. Scope a run Stop to that run’s own handoff intents, so
repeated old Stop requests preserve newer work. Cancelling terminal
intent without a source run also requires fenced current task ownership,
including native retries and preparation with an old checkout. For Cloud
callers, revalidate current stack membership with an uncached Cloud RPC
and derive owner elevation from the current managed setting.
- Keep case reads, documents, assets, Audit, and live events inside
retained task/project permissions.
- Add native case creation/read/update/handoff tools. Store required
workflow text and initial documents on the first task. Page oversized
case facts and referenced document bodies through the dedicated tool
with bounded UTF-8 JSON, current routing versions, snapshot conflicts,
and current source authorization on every page.
- Add read-only case lists and detail pages, task-style list controls,
compact dotted field tables, linked handoff tasks, and case filters in
Audit.
- Add native/legacy integration tests, migration/restart tests, browser
coverage, and bounded live receipt fixtures. Extend the trusted sandbox
condition to cover the new subscription fixture profile.
- Hide obsolete paused-agent warnings on completed or cancelled task
threads.
- Synchronize the company-switch settings test with React effects after
a CI failure. Preserve its security assertions and production remount
behavior.

## Verification

The branch directly includes master `9ef434fe79`. The required `ci /
verify` and `ci / e2e` gates pass on head `765fccd67c`. [Current-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39464348614)
passes typecheck, build, tests, and all eight browser shards. Security
checks pass. [Greptile gives this exact head
5/5](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/16959#issuecomment-6291156549),
with no unresolved review threads. The optional Paperclip Review check
remains queued because its assigned agent is paused. It is not a
required branch check. No check result was overridden.

Local workspace typecheck and build pass after the master merge, along
with database migration checks, token gates, map checks, Storybook
catalog checks, and the Copilot profile identity check. Standard builds
refresh Runner vendor output. Focused checks pass 2,008
API/paging/context tests and 7 strict case protocol tests. The final
commit changes one test fixture only; its ten tests, UI typecheck, and
token gates pass. No production source changed in that commit.

On current head `765fccd67c`, all **194 critical workflow tests**
executed and passed with no skipped tests in those files:

- 38 Stop/ownership tests, including board completion intent, native
retries, stale Stop, and preparation with an old checkout.
- 2 actual legacy process/HTTP handoff tests, including scratch failure,
a closed-stdio child that continues writing, and recovery through a
fresh worker after the process group stops.
- 5 migration tests, including SQL column metadata, preserved null
authority context, and all six prior-numbering receipts.
- 3 process-settlement and 5 scratch tests.
- 88 handoff-service, 18 heartbeat handoff, and 21 native case-tool
integration tests.
- 7 bounded case/document-read projection tests and 7 strict
protocol-contract tests.

The current CI checkout was `fed65d49`, merging `765fccd67c` into master
`9ef434fe79`. Its new document regressions reconstruct exact
Unicode/escaped bodies and revisions through real native authority and
authenticated HTTP with generic API tools disabled. They cover
case-owned, primary-task, and linked-task documents; routing on every
page; stale document snapshots; access loss and unlinking;
unrelated/foreign/private sources; system documents; and quarantined
content. Active-task document tools retain their existing behavior.
These are current-head test results from the first CI attempt; the
browser-only retry did not rerun these suites.

The full `64fdd3403f` CI failed one separate settings test: after a
company switch, it observed an unsettled API-key draft. The production
component and test were unchanged from prior green source. Production
switches remount both keyed settings layers; the test directly reused an
unkeyed view and used a timer tick instead of waiting for React effects.
The final commit replaces that fixture synchronization with React `act`.
The exact secret-clearing assertions and all timeouts remain unchanged.
The original assertion failure remains recorded; no unchanged retry was
used. The narrow unchanged baseline and fixed fixture each pass 10
tests.

The upstream result-paging merge preserves case capture namespaces and
current asset privacy. Its API integration suite executed 39 of 41 tests
successfully, with two skipped; the optional assigned-result PRP
integration test was skipped. Neither skipped suite is counted in the
194 critical tests or as live provider proof.

All 361 upstream migration entries and SQL bodies remain unchanged. Six
case migrations follow master as 0363–0368 with identical SQL hashes.
Official Drizzle generators produced the combined metadata and five
retained snapshots. Generation reports no schema changes, and the
snapshot drift test passes. The earlier `ce361ae5d0` CI passed on
attempt 1, including its then-current 179 critical tests. Fresh review
later identified unusable document references with generic API tools
disabled; the bounded document reads and ten additional authenticated
HTTP tests address that finding.

The full local `pnpm test:run` attempt was cancelled after this Mac
exhausted PostgreSQL semaphore capacity; it is **not** counted as a
pass. Later database attempts also stopped before assertions or skipped,
including one sandbox socket denial. Two original stale-Stop regressions
did reproduce the bug against the old source. A REST serialization
assertion passed after two preserved database-startup failures. No test
timeout was increased. All 194 assertions listed above executed and
passed in current-head CI. The complete 385-file, 3,963-test UI shard
also passed after the fixture repair.

A configured-provider receipt workflow passed 13 backend checks across
triage → implementation → verification → correction → done, using one
task and four work runs. The saved receipt is revision 2 with total 6
USD; case and task both closed. The original canonical attempt remains
failed because its browser assertion confused the terminal destination
with completed-task tooltips. The corrected full browser verifier passed
on the same retained database and original runs, with no additional
provider calls. The last clean-build browser readback is on
`6a86c54a53`; later changes affect recovery, authorization, bounded
reads, and settlement. Accounted work cost is a $1.010574 rate-card
estimate; provider billing and setup-probe usage are unavailable.

Copilot profile 49 passed the unchanged seven-fixture private protocol
pack (46/46 checks, no retries) and the product file-edit canary after
master's completion-replay change. All 60 bound implementation hashes
remain unchanged on the current source. Historical profile-47/48
identities and results remain intact. See the [profile-49 compatibility
record](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/codex/persistent-case-handoffs/doc/plans/2026-10-20-copilot-completion-recovery-compatibility-v49.json).
This is bounded compatibility evidence, not a fresh full matrix,
installed-package product test, or Daytona rollout.

Preserved CI failures and retries:

- On `20662930ac`, Slack managed setup failed a five-second success
assertion after reload. Its test/application path was unchanged from a
prior green head. One unchanged-source retry passed all 25 tests in that
shard; no source or timeout changed.
- On `9402b4f17a`, two CI workers received shutdown signals at 15:24:19
UTC. Neither log had an assertion failure before interruption. One
unchanged-source retry of each passed all Runner static checks and all
32 tests in browser shard 6; both aggregates passed. The next head,
`7b4374edaf`, passed all CI without retries.
- On `295f289b5a`, serialized shard 9 timed out during its first
device-login test, then the next test found an active login lease.
Direct login/test paths were unchanged from a prior green head. Cold
import plus a timed-out async body using the next test's mutable
actor/store is the supported fixture-race explanation; no request trace
proves that sequence. The original failure remains recorded. One
unchanged-source retry passed all 294 tests in 19 files, including all
41 device-login tests. No login source or timeout changed. The
subsequent `ce361ae5d0` CI passed without retries.
- On `64fdd3403f`, one company-switch settings assertion observed an
unsettled draft. The final test-only commit uses React `act` without
changing assertions, timeouts, or production code. On `765fccd67c`, all
ten settings tests and the complete 385-file, 3,963-test UI shard
passed.
- On `765fccd67c`, browser shard 3 completed the split-handoff
assertions, then cleanup received HTTP 500 from run cancellation after a
one-second PostgreSQL row-lock timeout. The extra chat run was reporting
completed work while teardown began. Cleanup stopped before restoring a
global experiment flag, causing a later assertion to fail. Relevant
production and test paths are unchanged from an earlier green commit.
Stop's lock order is consistent, and no nested self-lock was found; the
exact PostgreSQL blocker was not recorded. One unchanged-shard retry
passed. The original failure, trace, and downstream flag failure remain
recorded. No Stop implementation, cleanup assertion, or timeout changed.
The retry supports intermittent cleanup contention; it does not identify
the original blocking transaction.


## Risks

- Local process transfers require host-owned PID/group absence. Missing
or uncertain termination evidence keeps delivery pending, independently
of scratch setup.
- Handoff admission and task cancellation share execution ownership. New
regression tests cover temporary holds, late source writes, and
uncertain provider termination.
- Retained private sources use an intersection of existing permissions.
This intentionally fails closed when a source is missing or an existing
task cannot preserve that boundary.
- Migrations add tables and indexes. They preserve master history and
can replay over prior feature installs. Migration 0368 adds nullable
internal authorization provenance with no default or authority backfill.
Historical transfers still awaiting release without this context fail
closed; an operator must cancel them and request a new handoff.
- Delayed Cloud handoffs depend on the current Cloud membership RPC. An
unavailable, ambiguous, expired, or mismatched response holds the
handoff for retry; it does not reuse cached authority or grant access.
- Bounded reads reload and reauthorize the selected projection per page.
Underlying work grows with the data size and number of pages. Changed
data or routing requires restarting from offset zero without the old
snapshot.
- Phase names and workflow diagrams remain advisory. They do not satisfy
review or approval gates.
- This is a large, cross-cutting PR. The maintainer requested one PR for
the whole feature; the commits separate data, runtime, UI, and
qualification work.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with tool use, code execution, and delegated
code review. The exact deployment model ID and context-window size were
not exposed in the session. Live fixture agents used the explicitly
configured provider model recorded in their test evidence.

b448710986 fix: derive startup warmth from per-layer reuse evidence (#16908)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents and inspect their work.
> - Agent startup can reuse a lease, workspace, Runner, process, or
session.
> - A session ID can remain the same when other resources are new.
> - The old cold/warm label did not show these separate decisions.
> - This pull request records closed reuse receipts and derives labels
from them.
> - Reports now show partial reuse and missing evidence.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #11685. That issue tracks a specific ACPX fingerprint repair. This
change records reuse evidence across startup resources. It does not
repeat that repair.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Startup labels in the operator trace and Product E2E reports.

**Current behavior**

A cached runtime or a continuous session can suggest a warm startup even
when workspace staging or provider launch work occurs.

**Proposed behavior**

Record each layer's reuse decision and a closed reason. Record observed
provider launch counts. Use `warm`, `cold`, `partial_reuse`, or
`unknown` from those receipts. Keep old runs unknown when they have no
receipts.

## What Changed

- Add local run-log receipts for the lease, workspace, Runner, provider
process, and provider session.
- Count physical ACPX launches, including respawns. Preserve the reason
for a new process.
- Reuse native workspace adoption and session lifecycle evidence. Keep
native and bridged remote provider-process reuse and launch counts
unknown where physical evidence is absent.
- Show the per-run summary in retained results and the dashboard. Keep
missing legacy values explicit.
- Set the legacy trace boolean only for fully evidenced cold or warm
startup. Keep the operator OTLP gate. Add no first-party Telemetry.
- Test full reuse, workspace invalidation, two direct provider launches
with session continuity, and report generation.
- Start the final diagnostic write without waiting for persistence. Keep
lease cleanup independent of a stalled event sink.
- Keep remote provider evidence unknown after runtime setup fails or the
host relay starts twice.
- Align a stale Pi support-test expectation with current master profile
28 and its suite fingerprint. Keep the qualification rules unchanged.

## Verification

- Passed: all 319 runtime, startup-timing, reuse-summary, and native
workspace-history tests. Disposable local Git tests used the native Git
binary.
- Passed on the current commit: all 2,768 Runner E2E support tests
across 128 files. This includes report and history tests for generated
HTML and normalized JSON.
- Passed: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils typecheck`.
- Passed on `df60f8dbdbfcb6d80c84cd3bf563f8d58b2f9f03`: all PR CI gates,
including repository typecheck and build, all test shards, and browser
tests. Both automated reviews are 5/5. GitHub reports 55 successful
checks, one neutral review, and two skipped Storybook checks.
- The first server shard run failed because an unchanged
workspace-runtime fixture did not accept health connections within 10
seconds. Its isolated local test and the single failed-jobs rerun both
pass. This establishes recovery; the cause of the first timeout remains
unknown.
- Passed in the hosted source run on this exact commit: recursive
typecheck, token gates, the large Runner E2E typecheck, Runner E2E unit
tests, and build. The retained `source.txt` matches this PR head.
- The extra unsharded `pnpm test:run` reached its 60-minute limit (exit
124). It has no complete verdict. The broad workflow therefore reports
failure. No assertion-failure marker appears in the retained partial
log. Full-suite acceptance uses the passing canonical PR CI partitions.
A read-only inventory check found no gaps across 1,023 general server
files, 161 serialized suites, and 20 workspace projects. The separate
chat/native Runner lanes cover the excluded server files. No tests or
timeouts were weakened. The local environment has 4 GiB of memory. Use
CI for the large Runner E2E typecheck.
- The initial report tests failed because the harness could not resolve
package imports from the repository root. Relative source imports fixed
that failure.
- The first broad local run had timeouts from the environment Git
bridge. Native Git resolves the ancestry timeout and all runtime tests
pass. The added report fixture lacked its required screenshot; the
corrected report tests pass. A stale master assertion expected Pi
profile 27, while the generated profile is 28. Updated its expectation
and exact suite fingerprint; all 78 targeted support tests pass. The
clean full support run passes all 2,768 tests.
- The three review regression cases failed before repair. They showed
remote counts of zero and two, and a completed run that waited for the
final diagnostic sink. They now pass. The stalled-sink case keeps
persistence pending while the run returns, both bridge stops run once,
and the staging lock map becomes empty.
- Hosted evidence for this commit: [source
verification](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39335475416),
[retained command logs and status
table](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39335475416/artifacts/12228829282).
All listed commands exited zero except the incomplete unsharded test
command described above.
- The physical-launch test drives the executor's spawn callback twice.
The native workspace test uses real Git repositories and verifies reuse
and invalidation. These are deterministic tests, not a paid provider
qualification campaign.

## Risks

- Consumers must handle `partial_reuse` and `unknown`. Partial evidence
no longer produces a legacy cold/warm boolean.
- Native and remote bridged provider process evidence is still
unavailable on some paths. The report shows unknown values for those
paths.
- Receipt emission is best effort. Missing receipts reduce confidence in
a label and must not change execution or settlement.
- No schema migration, first-party Telemetry event, or endpoint default
changes are included.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, used reasoning, repository tools, and code
execution. The exact provider model ID and context window are not
exposed to this session. The existing implementation checkpoint was
preserved from the earlier agent run.

DottaandPaperclip ac9459bae3 feat: configure company agent observability (#16874)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Companies use several agent harnesses and execution environments.
> - Operators need one place to select where native agent logs and
traces go.
> - An inference proxy would add a dependency to the agent request path.
> - This pull request supplies native OpenTelemetry settings to managed
Codex and Claude Code processes.
> - Company secrets protect destination credentials. Export failure does
not change the task result.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Company settings, shared contracts, database, server, adapters, and
runner.

**Problem or motivation**

An operator cannot configure a company destination for native agent logs
and traces. Manual harness configuration is hard to apply across local
and remote execution.

**Proposed solution**

Add one company destination: Braintrust or a custom OTLP HTTP/protobuf
endpoint. Apply a transient snapshot when execution preparation starts.
Keep credentials out of API reads, task environment manifests, recovery
files, and command arguments. Replace a warm process when its export
settings change and preserve its conversation.

**Alternatives considered**

Multiple destinations can use a user-operated collector for fan-out.
This change does not add a collector, an inference proxy, or transcript
scraping.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends company settings, secret management, and support for
multiple harnesses. The maintainer requested this implementation.
Searches for observability and Braintrust found no duplicate company
destination feature. Related infrastructure tracing work in #16236 has a
separate content-free contract.

## What Changed

- Add strict schemas, revision checks, encrypted secret storage,
activity records, and board-only settings routes.
- Add explicit synthetic logs and traces tests with a bounded HTTP
request and sanitized results.
- Supply native Codex configuration and Claude Code environment values
through local and remote launch paths.
- Preserve Codex login refresh through the existing managed credential
link. Retain unsaved drafts across background reads. Require complete
custom header re-entry when the endpoint origin changes.
- Separate process export compatibility from conversation identity.
Isolate generated Codex configuration and preserve resumable sessions,
including remote home refresh after export changes.
- Advance the immutable Pi/Copilot source attestations for shared
environment and sidecar code changes. Keep their provider payloads
unchanged and retain prior identities for decoding.
- Redact destination credentials throughout launch diagnostics and HTTP
logs.
- Add the production settings form, Storybook states and journey,
documentation, and feature/access map entries.

## Verification

- Real managed local Codex 0.160.0 and Claude Code 2.1.286 tasks
exported to Braintrust. API readback and the Braintrust UI showed the
test records. A real remote Daytona Codex task exported through the
legacy `exec` path.
- Live tests exercised content capture off, export disabled, warm
conversation reuse, and a destination that accepted connections but
never replied. Agent work succeeded and export requests stopped at the
configured three-second timeout. The UI connection test returned “Test
payload accepted”; the saved API key stayed masked after reload.
- All current-head CI test lanes, typechecks, packaging/build checks,
and required aggregates passed on
`71e994b2be9c8fb6d6e938a4ad7cf4c95fdafe31` ([CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39319194318)).
Greptile completed on that exact commit at 5/5, with zero unresolved
review threads. The additional optional Paperclip Review check remains
queued waiting for its assigned agent.
- Local workspace typecheck and build passed. Focused verification
included 239 combined runner tests, 789 API/native-session tests, 107
Codex home/ACP/sandbox-site tests, 204 feature/privacy tests, and the
affected Rust suites. Migration, token, map, Storybook catalog, and
Storybook build checks passed during acceptance. These checks ran at the
relevant implementation or merge boundary; the current-head CI is the
complete final gate.
- Managed AI credential projections now receive enabled and disabled
company export settings; genuine caller-owned Codex homes remain
untouched. Two regressions reproduced the skip before the repair. All
276 engine/lifecycle tests and adapter-utils typecheck pass afterward.
The launched TOML retains provider/MCP settings, credential continuity,
and redaction.
- Settings saves, removal, and the real company-deletion owner acquire
secret mutation ownership before database locks. PostgreSQL NOWAIT
probes cover all three paths; concurrent save/rotation/removal/deletion
requests settle correctly. The affected suites passed 137 tests,
followed by all 32 service/connection cases after expanded deletion
coverage. Server and Codex adapter typechecks pass.
- Codex source profiles use the effective CLI argument list. A spawned
fixture CLI reproduced both ignored-argument failures; all three
precedence/fallback cases now pass.
- Real tar staging reproduced remote conversation loss in both API-key
and subscription modes before the repair. Both now pass: changing
managed settings preserves sessions, archives, native indexes, and
refreshed subscription credentials. A corrupt upload preserves the prior
config and conversation.
- Preserved failure evidence: initial CI caught stale Pi/Copilot source
attestations, a missing test-harness helper, and packaging fixture/probe
mismatches; those were corrected and covered by focused checks.
Superseded heads had intermittent attachment-composer timeouts despite
successful uploads; [the original trace and screenshot remain
available](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39309701089/artifacts/12215109203).
The same attachment case passed on the final head: [25/25 tests in shard
3](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39319194318/job/118288637051).
- A connection-fault fixture also exposed a stale pooled socket after
its hang case; closing fixture responses isolated scenarios and the full
affected suite passed.
- The broad local test run was not clean: database resource failures,
timeouts, an older cached module graph, and a stale optional-resource
manifest assumption were recorded. Focused checks passed after the
documented fixes. This does not establish a clean full local pass.
- Native remote Codex, remote Claude, and the full ACPX Codex bridge
remain unqualified. The direct Codex resume test does not establish full
bridge acceptance.

## Risks

- Native exporters perform network requests from each execution
environment. A server connection test does not prove remote
reachability.
- Prompts, assistant responses, and tool content are enabled by default
when supported. Native caps and harness-specific controls still apply.
- Caller-owned Codex homes are unsupported for automatic configuration
and remain untouched.
- Native harnesses and their tool processes can inspect export
credentials. The settings form and documentation advise using
ingestion-scoped credentials. Retained headers remain bound to their
saved scheme, host, and port; changing origin requires fresh values or
removal.
- Migration 0357 adds a company-scoped row and secret reference. It is
safe to reapply. Secret removal and company deletion use the existing
secret lifecycle.
- Slow or unavailable destinations must not block task settlement.
Export settings take effect at the next execution preparation boundary.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with reasoning, tool use, code execution, and
browser verification. The exact serving model ID and context window size
are not exposed in this session.
