DottaandPaperclip d6e6d1c78a Stream OpenCode immediately, scope reasoning to turns, and deduplicate instructions (#15708)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents and observe their work.
> - The native runner carries provider output into the task transcript.
> - OpenCode sends incremental text in `message.part.delta` events.
> - The driver ignored those events and waited for a full part snapshot.
Accepted chats also waited after lifecycle verification was complete.
> - This pull request forwards each valid chunk as it arrives and
removes unnecessary isolated startup work.
> - Valid chunks reach Paperclip sooner without changing completion or
permission rules. The matched browser experiment below does not
establish a reliable end-to-end latency improvement.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The native OpenCode driver withheld text until OpenCode sent a full
snapshot. A local delayed-provider probe with the pinned OpenCode
1.18.34 runtime showed a 1,496 ms gap between the first native text
delta and the first Paperclip text delta (1,510 ms from provider text).

**Expected behavior**

Forward valid assistant text and reasoning deltas immediately. Preserve
repeated identical tokens, message roles, turn ownership, and final
response selection.

**Steps to reproduce**

Send an empty text part, then text deltas, and withhold the final full
snapshot. The new fixture requires the consumer to acknowledge its first
text delta before releasing the snapshot. The previous driver cannot
pass this handshake.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Baseline: `011e5669bad61c435a4745fb10812bef70376841`. The patch is
rebased onto current master.

**Deployment mode**

Local native OpenCode 1.18.34 on macOS arm64. Live diagnostics use
`openrouter/deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-0731`. These are narrow
diagnostics, not full Product E2E qualification.

## What Changed

- Keep the macOS verified OpenCode launch pathname until child exit,
with guarded reuse and cleanup on failed launches. This fixes a
reproduced asynchronous executable-lifetime failure.
- Dispatch accepted queued chats immediately after lifecycle readiness
commits, through normal scheduler admission. Preserve ready state if
dispatch fails.
- Validate native OpenCode model access with the real hello probe
without a redundant catalog scan. Keep legacy adapter discovery
unchanged and isolate unspecified native probe directories.
- Map incremental text and reasoning to the existing canonical event
path, using observed part and message identities.
- Keep additive chunks without IDs distinct. Preserve ID-based event
deduplication.
- Clear current streaming part metadata when a new turn starts. Reject
mismatched session/message identities and unknown parts or fields.
- Disable automatic updates, remote model refreshes, and default plugins
in each isolated OpenCode process. Keep assigned MCP tools and default
model reasoning intact.
- Retain the latest cumulative text/reasoning part while its message
role is unknown, including completion metadata after more than 100
chunks.
- Expose `startTurn({ message, reasoningMode: "disabled" })` for one
OpenCode/OpenRouter turn. Carry the selection in the durable command
through Rust and the proxy. An omitted/default option restores provider
defaults on the next turn, including warm and recovered sessions. There
is no environment-level setting or automatic selection policy.
- Group optional Rust turn inputs in `CodexTurnOptions` and dispatch
through `start_turn_with_options`; retain `start_turn` for defaults.
Future turn settings can be added without another feature-specific
method.
- Expose a native-session capability for per-turn reasoning and reject
explicit unsupported selections before dispatch, including direct ACPX
and Codex backends. Runnerd checks the durable selected model as well as
the provider.
- Remove duplicate agent instructions from the shared OpenCode proxy
task envelope for all users. Send one system copy on every turn,
including prepared and resumed turns, because OpenCode reads the latest
user message’s system field. Preserve task constraints and completion
contracts.
- Document startup and streaming behavior. Add regression coverage for
role ordering, repeated chunks, final snapshot deduplication, and stale
turns.

## Verification

### Lower-load browser retry — 2026-10-10

**All 8/8 trials succeeded. In this batch, median Send → first visible
reply fell from 30.586 s to 12.476 s (59.2% lower).** Four fresh-agent
trials per variant, phase order before/after/after/before with two
trials per phase. Every adjacent-phase pair favored the candidate,
although one difference was only 0.301 s. This is evidence for the
readiness/probe changes on this host, not a production percentile or a
guarantee across providers.

| Phase/trial | Variant | Send → reply (s) | Observed ready → run (s) |
Session open → turn start (s) | Model requests |
|---|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|
| 0/0 | before | 45.042 | 25.337 | 3.629 | 2 |
| 0/1 | before | 13.689 | 0.000 | 2.443 | 2 |
| 1/0 | after | 14.696 | 0.000 | 2.526 | 1 |
| 1/1 | after | 13.389 | 0.000 | 2.470 | 2 |
| 2/0 | after | 10.871 | 0.000 | 2.706 | 2 |
| 2/1 | after | 11.564 | 0.004 | 2.443 | 2 |
| 3/0 | before | 41.582 | 21.518 | 2.376 | 2 |
| 3/1 | before | 19.589 | 9.753 | 2.707 | 1 |

Observed ready-to-run median: **15.636 s → 0 s**; zero means execution
began by the first ready observation, not literally zero latency.
Polling interval is nominally 250 ms plus HTTP time.
Session-open-to-turn-start includes controller handling, not just child
startup. All eight ran within the existing startup timeouts; no timeout
or reasoning policy was changed. Host load at fixture creation stayed
**5.47–8.73 on 18 CPUs**, versus 68.9–100.8 in the prior campaign. No
builds/tests ran concurrently with measurement.

Same merged source **b0a0158729a7913882a0e756fe7e27228d72bf53**, release
runner, rebuilt static UI, OpenCode **1.18.34**, model
**openrouter/deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-0731**, provider-default
reasoning, and empty isolated workspaces in both variants. Only the
readiness worker and explicit-model verification source were toggled;
the launch-lifetime fix and all proxy streaming changes were held
constant. Thus this does not separately measure the original streaming
changes. One browser per phase, two fresh companies/agents/chats per
phase. Measurement begins at capture-phase Send click and ends on
visible Hi text plus two animation frames. Status/thinking is excluded;
emoji can arrive just after the first text. Successful screenshots
inspected. Each variant had three two-request turns using
`paperclip_finish` and one one-request turn; no status lookup was
observed. Reported usage includes settlement after the first visible
reply.

(sorted relative path, NUL, binary per-file SHA-256). Worker/probe
variant source hashes are unchanged from the preserved comparison below.
Measured turn cost **$0.00612574**, plus verification probes not
included in that figure. All eight attempts retained; all source/proxy
files restored and test supervisors exited.

Current commit validation: **53 successful CI checks, 4 skipped, zero
failing; Greptile 5/5 on b0a0158729 with no actionable findings.** The
previous 20 targeted post-merge tests passed. No source edit was made
for this rerun. Earlier failed and inconclusive cohorts below remain
historical evidence and are not pooled with this batch.


### Master update and failure diagnosis — 2026-10-09

Merged `origin/master` at `417db14e7d` into this branch without
conflicts; pushed merge commit
`b0a0158729a7913882a0e756fe7e27228d72bf53`. The incoming changes do not
alter OpenCode process startup or its timeout budgets. Historical
measurements below remain attributed to their original commits.

The four last-campaign failures never issued `turn.start`, so these were
**cold-session admission failures, not model replies failing**. Two
retained `session.open` commands eventually completed after controller
timeout/cleanup had begun. The other two ended with the inner
`thread/start` response timeout, and their diagnostics recorded OpenCode
startup retries. Startup event timestamps are buffered publication times
and must not be interpreted as exact process-spawn times.

On the merged source, two credential-free startup-only checks used the
real pinned OpenCode 1.18.34, empty temporary workspaces, a placeholder
key, and **no model turns**:

- Existing pinned executable: spawn at 1.083 s; failed health
attempt/retry at 11.311 s and 21.914 s; third process healthy at 32.210
s; session opened at **35.168 s**.
- Verified private executable path: snapshot preparation took **0.497
s**; process spawned at 1.588 s; healthy at 9.967 s; session opened at
**11.120 s**.

These are sequential diagnostic samples, not evidence that one
executable path is faster. Host load was **56.5–64.5 on 18 logical
CPUs**. The local health wait permits 10 s per attempt and the driver
retries up to three times; the outer controller's cold admission budget
is 30 s, and the Rust facade also waits 30 s for a response. Thus
retries plus setup/session creation can outlast the caller's budget. The
isolated 35.168 s success demonstrates that a session can eventually
open yet fail the app's admission deadline. Heavy load aggravates the
timing; its exact contribution is not isolated. No timeout was increased
and no new model-latency claim is made.

Merge validation: **20/20 targeted lifecycle-policy and heartbeat
run-completion tests passed**, including temporary PostgreSQL cases. The
first sandbox invocation skipped database cases; the authorized local-DB
rerun executed all 20. The package-manager launcher could not verify its
version via the unreachable registry, so validation used the
already-installed Vitest binary. Full CI/review subsequently passed on
this merge commit; see the October 10 retry above. Older results below
apply to their named commits.


### Follow-up: reproduced macOS launch failure — 2026-10-09

The retry exposed a startup bug rather than only host-load noise. The
macOS proxy deleted the private verified executable path immediately
after asynchronous spawn. A credential-free test of the actual pinned
OpenCode `--version` reproduced a fast SIGKILL and a 15-second timeout
in three immediate-cleanup attempts; three deferred-cleanup controls
succeeded. The timeout was killed by the diagnostic's own deadline. This
experiment does not establish the OS-internal reason for the fast
SIGKILL.

Commit `c30451e0ebf3f74e9ef70d37bbe4d9fe7fb56359` retains the private
launch path until child exit, cleans failed spawns, and waits for forced
shutdown before reuse. Source descriptor authentication, ownership,
mode, inode checks, and the prohibition on ambient executable fallback
remain. Overlapping reuse fails closed. The existing synchronous shell
test was changed to exercise the actual asynchronous boundary.

**Verification:** 59 focused proxy/driver tests passed; runner
TypeScript check passed. All six subsequent real OpenCode version
launches succeeded without timeout (4.11, 4.33, 5.73, 6.91, 4.95, 6.70
seconds). The native Rust binary is unchanged from the retry; no model
calls were made by these diagnostics.

Retained interrupted retry: before 42.56/18.69 seconds; after one
180-second timeout (`provider_process_exited` / health SIGKILL) and one
37.33-second success. The latter overlapped the credential-free
diagnostic and is not a clean matched timing. The next phase was stopped
before Send to diagnose the reproduced bug. Reported measured-turn cost:
$0.0016874, verification probes additional. These attempts are not
pooled with other campaigns.

<!-- launch-fixed-proof:start -->
**Completed retry, stopped by the declared failure rule after 6 of 8
planned trials. No reliable end-to-end speedup demonstrated.** At commit
`c30451e0ebf3f74e9ef70d37bbe4d9fe7fb56359`, the launch fix above was
held constant in both variants; only the readiness handoff and
explicit-model verification path changed. Planned phase order:
before/after/after/before, two fresh agents/chats per phase, one new
browser per phase. The second after phase had two consecutive failures,
so the final before phase was not run.

| Phase/trial | Variant | Send → first visible reply | Observed ready →
run | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0/0 | before | No reply within 180 s | 2.777 s | session.open timeout
|
| 0/1 | before | 47.654 s | 9.383 s | Succeeded |
| 1/0 | after | 50.051 s | 0.087 s | Succeeded |
| 1/1 | after | No reply within 180 s | 0.151 s | session.open timeout |
| 2/0 | after | No reply within 180 s | 3.337 s | session.open timeout |
| 2/1 | after | No reply within 180 s | 1.434 s | session.open timeout |

Both successful screenshots show “Hi 👋”. Timing starts at the browser's
capture-phase Send click and ends at the first visible answer text plus
two animation frames; the first fragment can be “Hi” before the emoji
arrives. Thinking/status text is not counted. All four failures were
`runner_local_connect_failed: PRP command session.open timed out`
(`native_session_interrupted`), before a reply; none reported the
earlier health-stage SIGKILL. They are retained, not discarded as
outliers. One success per variant does not support a speedup estimate or
median comparison. Observed ready-to-run median was **6.080 s before
(n=2) vs 0.793 s after (n=4)**; this is sampled every nominal 250 ms
plus HTTP latency and is a lower bound, not precise tracing. Host load
at fixture creation ranged **68.9–100.8 on 18 logical CPUs**, a
substantial confound that worsened over the campaign. No local
build/test was run concurrently with this campaign.

Provenance: pinned OpenCode **1.18.34**, model
**openrouter/deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-0731**, default reasoning in
both variants, empty synthetic workspaces and isolated probe homes.

`7f0c2b7f586cb753408351574b2239e22311944add99af4f6f3562cd6d47bbcb`. This
holds the rebuilt runner and static UI constant. Provider-reported
measured turn cost **$0.00120649**; verification probes are additional.
Including the earlier interrupted retry, this follow-up reports
**$0.00289389** in measured turn usage; missing usage is not assumed
free. Prior cohorts remain separate below.

Validation on `c30451e0e`: **59 focused tests passed**, runner
TypeScript check passed, **6/6 real credential-free pinned OpenCode
launches passed**, fresh Greptile **5/5 with zero unresolved threads**.
CI: **51 success, 4 skipped, 1 failed**. The failed native compilation
job never reached compilation: Docker's auth endpoint timed out during
Buildx setup, then failed the same way on one retry
([job](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37994181674/job/114039737503)).
Full local checks were not rerun while measuring. The PR remains draft:
the launch defect is reproduced and fixed, but cold session startup
still exceeds the controller's admission budget on this host. Raising
that budget would not establish a faster first response.
<!-- launch-fixed-proof:end -->

### Readiness investigation and live rerun — 2026-10-09

**Measured queue fix; no reliable end-to-end speedup claim. Keep this PR
in draft.** Accepted chats could wait for the periodic queue sweep after
verification had already committed `ready`. The lifecycle worker now
dispatches through the existing scheduler immediately after that commit.
The normal company, pause, budget, concurrency, and task-ownership
checks still apply. Dispatch failure preserves readiness and leaves
recovery to the queue sweep.

Native OpenCode verification also avoids enumerating the full model
catalog before running its real hello request. Identifier validation
remains. Authentication failures, unavailable models, and timeouts still
prevent readiness. An unspecified local probe directory uses an empty
temporary directory.

**Queue-only experiment:** four before and four after attempts, in
before/after/after/before server phases, two fresh agents per phase.
Median observed ready-to-start delay fell from **19.429 s to 0.058 s**.
State polling was nominally 250 ms plus HTTP time, so the latter means
within observation resolution; it is not a precise 58 ms latency claim.
After timings were 100.20, 65.29, 63.78, and 76.97 seconds. Before had
one 59.65-second success and three 120-second response timeouts (one
provider health SIGKILL, one late success, one still running after
settlement and canceled). These censored results do not support a
success-only median speedup comparison. Focused tests overlapped the
last baseline phase, which further limits total-time interpretation.
Reported measured-turn cost: $0.0055383; verification probes and
incomplete/canceled usage are additional.

**Final matched experiment:** built static UI in both variants to avoid
pre-Send Vite compilation; current proxy, release runner, selected
model, default reasoning, and explicitly isolated empty probe
cwd/HOME/XDG held constant. Both worker handoff and model-probe changes
vary. Fresh browser/company/agent/chat per attempt. ABBA order, two
attempts per variant, 180-second response limit declared before the
batch, four-turn bound. Same Send-to-rendered-Hi metric as the earlier
experiment.

| Order | Variant | Send → visible Hi | Created → execution | Observed
ready → execution | Outcome |
| --- | --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | --- |
| 1 | Before | 62.66 s | 23.467 s | 2.830 s | Succeeded |
| 2 | After | >180 s | 14.200 s | Within polling resolution | Provider
health SIGKILL |
| 3 | After | >180 s | 13.877 s | Within polling resolution | Provider
initialization timeout |
| 4 | Before | >180 s | 144.256 s | 14.067 s | Still running after
settlement; canceled |

Only one of four attempts produced a timed reply. **There is no valid
overall speedup estimate from this batch.** The dispatch delay is
removed, but provider startup failures and heavy shared-host load
remain. A recorded host sample was load 93.55 on 18 logical CPUs. This
is a confound, not proof that every failure was caused by host load.
Provider-reported measured-turn cost was $0.00032752, with no reported
usage for the other three attempts; verification probes are additional.

Retained earlier setup attempts: one shared-memory startup failure
before model calls, and a separate development-UI batch with a
60.06-second baseline followed by a navigation timeout before Send.
These attempts are retained separately, not counted as successful
response timings. No live attempts were silently dropped.

Provenance: source base `53580f8fbd40b963f3fb7ba5172ff3ede2e9ef1f`,
measured patch committed as `40b54eafb`, then rebased as
`c590770dcc2bb1debce14037935a7031e5c3c1ac`. **These live timings predate
the rebase.** Source and binary hashes are retained below. The inner
harness label `after` selects the identical current proxy in every
attempt; the outer campaign handoff label is the actual before/after
variant. Owned benchmark processes stopped and original proxy restored.

<!-- readiness-check-status:start -->
Post-rebase validation at `c590770dcc2bb1debce14037935a7031e5c3c1ac`:

- Full local `pnpm -r typecheck`: **passed**, including the native
release build (1,098.6 seconds on the loaded host).
- Focused lifecycle and adapter tests: **26 passed**. The 14 database
integration tests did not run locally because their hard-coded 20-second
database setup hook timed out. A retry with a CLI timeout override
encountered the same explicit hook limit. The earlier pre-rebase focused
batch passed 77 tests; these results are not substituted for post-rebase
execution.
- Local `pnpm test:run` was started, then stopped to avoid duplicating
CI on the saturated host. Local `pnpm build` was not run separately.
**Current-head CI passed Typecheck + Release Registry, Build, all
general and serialized test groups, Rust checks, both runner Vitest
groups, and all eight browser E2E shards.** The last general shard
passed 1,179 tests (72 files).
- Fresh [Greptile
review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/15708#issuecomment-6085742217):
**5/5**, reviewed this exact head, no actionable defect.
- Final CI rollup: **49 success, 4 skipped, 4 failure**. The failures
are [Compile isolated native
Runner](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37990274515/job/114024329242),
[Docker context
integrity](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37990274623/job/114024196511),
[Canary Dry
Run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37990274623/job/114024196424),
and the dependent `ci / verify` aggregate. All three root failures are
Docker Hub HTTP 429 / unauthenticated pull-rate limits while fetching
Node base images. The native-image job was retried once and hit the same
limit. No source compiler/test failure was reported by those gates. CI
maintainers need authenticated pulls or to rerun after the registry
limit clears.
- Owned benchmark servers stopped. Local validation commands completed
or were stopped. The PR remains a draft: user-visible speed/reliability
is not qualified, and the Docker-dependent CI gates are not green.

### Matched live browser latency evidence — 2026-10-09

**Conclusion: the overall first-response speedup is not established.**
Twelve successful real browser runs produced a lower after median, but
the updated path won only 3 of 6 adjacent pairs. Median paired
improvement was -0.17 seconds (effectively tied). Do not treat the
deterministic streaming-forwarding improvement as proof that this PR
fixes end-to-end first-response latency.

- **Actual path:** local Paperclip browser → real server/database →
current optimized Rust runner → pinned OpenCode 1.18.34 → OpenRouter
`deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-0731`. Default reasoning in both variants;
no disabled-reasoning override.
- **Prompt:** `Reply with Hi and an emoji and nothing else.` Fresh
company, agent, chat, and per-turn native provider process for each
trial; same QA fixture instructions and selected model.
- **Comparison:** current product/runner at
`53580f8fbd40b963f3fb7ba5172ff3ede2e9ef1f` held constant. The baseline
substitutes the exact `opencode-app-server-proxy.ts`,
`opencode-proxy-task-envelope.ts`, and `opencode-server-driver.ts`
contents from pre-PR `41fec8c8921f9fb19c13fe11e2c9b71bf1017317`. This
isolates those changed modules; it is not an entire old-checkout
comparison.
- **Metric:** browser capture-phase Send click to a rendered `Hi`
markdown answer plus two animation frames, with a screenshot of the
answer. Thinking, tool labels, and status indicators do not count. This
is a DOM/render measurement, not instrumented compositor pixel timing.
- **Order/bound:** predeclared `before, after, after, before` repeated
three times; six trials per variant; 120-second response timeout; $1
campaign guard. All 12 measured trials returned `Hi` and an emoji and
finished successfully; none omitted.
- **Result:** before median **48.08 s** (37.42–66.40); after median
**42.50 s** (27.68–63.32). The 11.6% lower median alone is not
persuasive evidence of a reliable improvement given the mixed paired
results and broad overlap.
- **Remaining delay:** retained queue timestamps for 10/12 trials show
**9.76–41.65 seconds from run creation to execution start**. This is
before the OpenCode path changed here. Its cause is not established by
this benchmark. The final two queue reads were unavailable after
automatic server shutdown; all twelve primary browser timings were
retained.
- **Cost:** $0.010517369 provider-reported across the 12 measured turns;
$0.011371499 including the successful setup pilot. This is separate from
the older diagnostics listed below.
- **Retained setup attempts:** two failures before Send (composer
locator and transpiler helper); one baseline startup failure before any
observed model request (`SIGKILL` while probing OpenCode health); one
successful current-code pilot whose selector missed the visible reply.
These are retained separately, not silently included/excluded as valid
timings. The measured batch used the corrected selector and the same
release binary for both variants.
- **Limits:** local development server and headless Chromium on macOS
arm64, small sample, variable queue timing/provider routing/cache. This
does not qualify production/cloud performance or isolate the
contributions of each changed module. Server, browser, and owned runs
were stopped; original proxy build artifact restored; no product source
files changed for this experiment.

</details>

- Latest options-struct refactor: 33 provider tests and 86 backend tests
passed. Four port-dependent fixtures initially failed inside the sandbox
and passed with loopback access. Latest check snapshot: 51 successes, 4
skips, and 2 failures (`ci / e2e` and `ci / e2e shard (5/8)`). This
latency experiment does not make the PR merge-ready.

- Focused TypeScript suites passed: OpenCode driver, per-turn reasoning,
prepared-context recovery, proxy envelope, live sessions, Codex context
control, and native instruction measurements. The real runnerd/proxy
integration test confirms disabled followed by default in the same
session. A stale staged binary initially hid the new parameter;
rebuilding the release runner resolved it.
- Capability-guard regression suites passed all 53 tests; the real
runner/proxy boundary still accepts the per-turn selection. Both
OpenRouter and non-OpenRouter real runner/proxy cases passed, along with
62 existing OpenCode fixture tests. Runner TypeScript build passed after
the final correction.
- Affected Rust modules passed: 33 provider tests and 86 durable backend
tests. Malformed or unsupported reasoning selections do not dispatch a
provider turn or poison admission state.
- Pinned OpenCode 1.18.34 with a local OpenRouter-compatible fixture
sent three successive provider requests with reasoning omitted,
`enabled: false`, then omitted. Each request contained one copy of the
agent instructions. No paid provider call was needed.
- The reconstructed first-turn task envelope shrank from 4,356 to 460
characters. This is a payload-size measurement, not a claimed token or
latency reduction. Existing stored conversation history is not
rewritten.
- Prior head `8c07fe2e70267a7c8a3118f1071eca73ecdc6c8a`: all 53 checks
passed, with four intentional skips. Greptile is 5/5 with no open
findings. One bounded retry cleared first-test timeouts, a legacy
signoff lease failure, and CI runner shutdowns. The timed-out suites
also passed locally (14 auth-signal tests, 40 device-login tests, and
the runner resume case).
- Known reported diagnostic usage totals about $0.0029. Two prematurely
closed baseline warm-turn attempts are excluded from latency comparisons
and their usage is not fully captured; background provider usage is also
not fully accounted. No further paid runs are active.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed. Runner TypeScript typechecks and build
also passed after the review correction.
- `pnpm test:run`: attempted and stopped after a reproducible failure in
the untouched Codex recovery test `archives a damaged prior epoch before
completing guarded same-task replacement with real runnerd`
(`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-session-resume.test.ts:1072`).
It returns `needs_review` / failed instead of done / succeeded,
including when rerun alone. The broad local suite is not green. The two
initial collection failures disappeared after building; their isolated
rerun passed all 1,565 tests.
- `pnpm build`: passed.
- Pinned real OpenCode plus a delayed local provider: first native delta
to Paperclip delta fell from 1,496 ms to less than 1 ms at millisecond
measurement resolution. This isolates forwarding delay, not
network/model inference.
- Two live driver samples after the patch reached first text in
2.28–2.62 seconds including session startup. Baseline first responses
took 12.37–13.43 seconds. Small unmatched samples had different
reasoning/cache outcomes, so these are observations, not an attributed
speedup ratio.
- Full compiled runnerd protocol diagnostic: completed with `Hi 👋`;
first assistant delta at 9.19 seconds and cleanup complete at 9.44
seconds. The seeded mock-control-plane harness used 27,512 input tokens
across two provider requests, split into 13,521 and 13,991. The extra
`answer_status_question` call posted `Hi 👋` to the mock task in 12 ms,
then caused another model request. A reconstruction contains 25 tools
(35.3k JSON characters), 12.8k system characters, and a 4.4k task
envelope; 3.9k instruction characters appear in both system and task
context. Provider-reported cost was $0.00073976; the pricing-table
estimate was $0.00395332. This is one integration diagnostic, not a
production latency claim.
- A separate full-runner sample with existing lazy tool discovery also
completed, but took 14.64 seconds through cleanup and called
`paperclip_finish`. Its usage ledger recorded 12,888 input and 11,776
cached-input tokens, with $0.00096344 provider-reported cost. This did
not establish a latency improvement, so the default tool exposure was
not changed.
- Four direct OpenRouter requests separately measured default reasoning
at 2.45/3.90 seconds to first text and disabled reasoning at 0.66/0.53
seconds. Default reasoning remains unchanged; disabling it requires the
explicit per-turn option.

## Risks

- Immediate readiness dispatch changes scheduling timing. It uses
existing admission checks and preserves the periodic sweep as recovery.
- Native model verification relies on the real request rather than
catalog enumeration. The final live batch had provider startup failures;
overall speed and reliability are not qualified.
- Incremental chunks without IDs cannot safely be deduplicated by
content. Repeated identical chunks are valid. Known-ID duplicates remain
suppressed.
- OpenCode uses its bundled model catalog plus the explicit
selected-model entry. New remote catalog metadata will not refresh
during isolated startup.
- Default provider plugins are disabled. This runner supplies
credentials and assigned MCP tools through its own controlled
configuration.
- Disabled reasoning is supported only on the OpenCode/OpenRouter path
and requires a compatible model. It applies to one turn and is not an
automatic latency policy.
- The matched live browser sample is small and does not establish a
reliable end-to-end improvement. It includes local queueing/startup and
browser rendering, but does not qualify production or remote sandbox
latency.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 (Codex). Tool use, code editing, and command execution were
used. The session does not expose a more specific model ID or
context-window size. Live diagnostic target: DeepSeek
`deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-0731` through OpenRouter and OpenCode
1.18.34.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 5badea4798 Use the agent lifecycle contract for plugin setup and status (#15391)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Some plugins must prepare resources before an agent can work.
> - Those resources must stop or be removed when the agent pauses or
terminates.
> - The agent lifecycle module now owns these steps and their durable
completion.
> - Plugins use its required callback contract instead of a separate
readiness query.
> - This PR documents that contract and shows its progress and retry
action on the agent page.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #15631

**Subsystem affected**

Required plugin lifecycle work and the agent detail page.

**Problem or motivation**

The lifecycle module exposes `onAgentLifecycle` and
`agents.lifecycle.manage`, but the plugin authoring guide does not
explain their use. The agent page displays legacy status. Setup
therefore looks paused and offers Resume. Termination leaves the page
before resource cleanup completes.

**Proposed solution**

Use the callback, admission guards, persisted state, and retry route
supplied by the lifecycle module. Show pending phases and fixed host
errors. Keep the detail page open during incomplete termination. Use
lifecycle state for pause and resume controls.

**Alternatives considered**

A separate plugin readiness query would duplicate the module's state and
admission rules. The final diff contains no readiness API, database
commit hooks, or second admission check.

## What Changed

- Document the manifest declaration, callback results, phase ordering,
capability scope, retry behavior, and provider revision requirements.
- Correct SDK comments for lifecycle, routing, and external object
callbacks.
- Show preparation, verification, pause, resume, termination, and
cleanup progress from the existing agent fields.
- Refresh pending steps every two seconds and other states every thirty
seconds. Keep these reads separate from the agent record used by
editable forms. Use the existing authorized retry route for failed
steps.
- Offer Pause during setup. Disable pause and resume while stop or
cleanup is incomplete. Keep cleanup failures reachable on the detail
page. Disable new work after termination starts.
- Test required resource work across setup, pause, resume, and confirmed
deletion. Test every worker callback phase, missing handlers, retry
authorization, and UI behavior.

## Verification

- Focused UI tests: 139 passed across lifecycle status, action buttons,
API tests, and the configuration form. A regression preserves unsaved
edits during an in-flight lifecycle refresh and a failed refresh.
- Focused host and shared tests: 113 passed across lifecycle
integration, retry authorization, plugin RPC, and manifest validation.
The database suite used isolated local PostgreSQL 18 through a temporary
loader outside the repository.
- Module boundary tests: 11 passed. Module import/write checks and UI
token gates passed.
- Plugin SDK build, server direct TypeScript check, and UI TypeScript
check passed.
- `git diff --check` and an added-line secrets/private-reference scan
passed. Fixtures use synthetic identities.
- Full `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed using the existing
local Rust toolchain.
- Visually checked all six progress phases with the application
components and styles. Captured preparation and cleanup failure
screenshots from the production UI build with synthetic API data;
artifacts are kept outside git.
- Full local `pnpm test:run` was attempted and stopped after a
native-runner failure reproduced in isolation:
`native-session-resume.test.ts` / `archives a damaged prior epoch before
completing guarded same-task replacement with real runnerd` returns a
failed Codex fixture result instead of success. The native-runtime and
runner trees are unchanged from the base. No full local test pass is
claimed.
- All latest-head CI checks passed, including test shards, verification,
E2E, and the canary packaging check. Greptile reviewed commit
`96473e03a` at 5/5 with no unresolved comments.

## Risks

- Selected required plugins remain a dependency for lifecycle
completion. The lifecycle module retains their requirements when a
plugin is disabled or removed.
- Plugins must make repeated provider operations safe and fence older
revisions. Host revision checks do not cancel external requests.
- Polling adds one agent-detail read every two seconds during pending
work and every thirty seconds otherwise.
- No schema change, private VM provider implementation, resource
backfill, or deployment is included. No live provider test was run.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository inspection, code
editing, and command execution. The exact model revision and context
window were not reported by the runtime.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 2dd9811e8b Own agent hiring and termination in a lifecycle module (#15631)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Agent creation, approval, pause, and termination change whether an
agent can work.
> - These changes currently use separate service and database paths.
> - Some agents need setup after their record exists and before their
harness can run.
> - This PR adds one module that owns those state changes and their
transactions.
> - The module records progress and retries incomplete work after a
server restart.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Problem or motivation**

A hire can become active before its execution environment is ready.
Direct agent state writes also bypass one common lifecycle boundary.
Termination does not have a durable step for resource cleanup.

**Proposed solution**

Use agent lifecycle commands for hiring, approval, pause, resume, and
termination. Keep proposed hires pending until approval. Prepare each
approved hire, test its saved harness configuration, and then permit
work. Wait for required plugin work before completing a step.

**Alternatives considered**

A general database commit hook would expose transaction details to
callers. A timer alone would delay each new hire. This module owns each
command transaction and starts its worker after commit. A periodic scan
recovers work after a process stops.

**Roadmap alignment**

This change adds the lifecycle boundary for the existing agent and
plugin systems. It does not add a user interface or a provider
implementation. It replaces the lifecycle delivery approach in #15391.
Related proposals include #11475 and #13099; this change does not add
their external executor protocols.

## What Changed

- Add durable approval, preparation, verification, pause, resume, stop,
and cleanup states.
- Keep agent creation, lifecycle state, configuration writes, and agent
record deletion behind `modules/agent-lifecycle`. Keep validation,
credential rules, reads, onboarding, invitations, general approvals, and
company data deletion in their services.
- Commit a hire before the remaining onboarding or invitation work.
Serialize requests with the existing dedicated database connection
helper. Reuse the hire after a failed attempt.
- Keep accepted work in the run queue during setup. Require execution
and cleanup evidence before completing pause or termination.
- Retain the original credential owner when approving migrated hires.
- Start lifecycle work after each command commits. Use database leases
and revision checks for retries and late results.
- Add a generic required plugin method and capability. Store the
required plugin IDs for each agent. Track host and plugin completion
separately.
- Keep harness verification and credential rules in services. Supply
their results to lifecycle through explicit ports. Reject failed logins
and incomplete probes.
- Remove reverse imports from lifecycle adapters into services. Share
record queries and validation below both layers.
- Use one hire decision path for agent IDs and approval IDs. Resolve the
approval and agent change in one transaction. Expose policy
reconciliation on the command object.
- Save configuration and verification invalidation through one module
operation. Ordinary commands own their transaction. Restrict the shared
transaction integration to its listed callers. Reject identity, company,
accounting, timestamp, and unknown fields.
- Require completed termination before deleting agent records. The
company deletion service calls the module through a separate deletion
interface.
- Save an approved secret before applying its agent binding. A failed
binding leaves the secret approved. A retry reuses it.
- Remove old permission and metadata export files. Move hire
configuration rules out of lifecycle persistence.
- Report failed worker steps and scans with operation context and known
error codes. Omit provider messages, stacks, and configuration values.
Document ordinary application use and extension rules.
- Recover expired native owners only after execution stops. Retry
cleanup of failed retained leases. Wait for setup in the live smoke
script.
- Keep manual, budget, and company pause reasons separate. Guard
execution status writes with the ready state.
- Add a migration, boundary checks, regression tests, and a lifecycle
guide. Keep the current UI.
- Limit periodic policy checks to 100 eligible agents per minute.
Continue from the last agent ID. Exclude pending hires and agents in
termination or a final state. Keep explicit company and budget updates
immediate.

## Verification

- Latest head `ccc3c86b0` aligns the shared status update schema with
the PATCH route. All 15 shared tests, 104 server route/OpenAPI tests, 2
CLI tests, and shared/server/CLI TypeScript checks pass. The Greptile
comment is fixed. CI is running; no new Apex review was requested for
this small fix.

- Rebase `75708ac94` rebases onto master at `2eb5187e4`. The backup test
uses the shared 90-second timeout from master; the older timeout commit
was removed. The affected backup test passes.
- Agent budget edits now pass the target agent ID through enforcement.
All 50 affected tests, server TypeScript, and 11 boundary tests pass.
Both configuration update paths have regression coverage. CI is running
on the latest head. No new Apex review was requested for these small
fixes.

- Rebase `9b568666a` preserves the run-control extraction and
delivery-work startup changes from master. All 559 affected tests,
server TypeScript, and 11 boundary tests pass. CI and Apex review are
running on the final head.
- The policy scan fix passes 56 lifecycle and diagnostic tests, 24
policy and caller tests, and 11 boundary tests. A regression test checks
the page limit, interval, excluded states, and cursor wraparound.

- Rebase `fd4698750` passes all 611 tests in eight affected lifecycle,
route, and heartbeat suites. Server TypeScript and all 11 module
boundary tests pass. The company deletion rollback and concurrent hire
tests are included.

- Follow-up `00aac7646` fixes the failed decision deletion test and the
public update schema. All 126 affected server tests, 8 shared tests, 2
CLI tests, and 11 boundary tests pass. Shared, server, CLI, and UI
TypeScript checks pass.

- Server TypeScript passes: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsc
--noEmit`.
- All 11 boundary tests pass: `node --test
scripts/check-module-boundaries.test.mjs`. The repository boundary scan
also passes.
- All 68 lifecycle, failure diagnostic, and harness verification tests
pass. Tests reject forbidden fields through the root command, combined
transition command, and restricted transaction integration. They also
check invalid fields returned by configuration preparation.
- Failure tests cover host work, plugin work, claims, renewals,
deferrals, and scans. Log tests check known error codes and exclusion of
private error contents.
- All 355 tests in 10 existing caller suites pass. These tests cover
secret approval, pairing, pending hires, credentials, company import,
built-in agents, managed agents, instructions, and skills.
- The branch is rebased onto `origin/master` at `2eb5187e4`. The queue
guards and cancellation lock fix use the extracted heartbeat queue.
Agent cancellation uses the extracted run-control file. The source diff
scan found no secrets or private URLs.
- Earlier checks cover approval retries, rollback, late verification
results, policy holds, deletion rollback, concurrent company deletion,
and queue admission during setup.
- Before the rebase, CI passed on `00aac7646` and Greptile Apex rated it
5/5 with no open comments. CI and a new Apex review are pending for the
rebased commit. The branch has no merge conflicts.
- The full local build and native Dot suite were not run. The host has
no Cargo. No live provider test was run.

## Risks

- Background policy recovery takes more than one minute when more than
100 agents are eligible. Explicit company and budget updates still
reconcile immediately.

- The restricted configuration integration keeps an agent reference and
its dependent records in one transaction. It cannot change a budget or
invoke a lifecycle transition. A periodic scan starts pending setup
after that transaction commits.
- Secret approval and binding use separate transactions. A failed
binding can leave an approved secret with no agent binding.
- New approved hires remain unavailable until setup and verification
complete. Existing clients see `paused` during these steps. This PR does
not change the UI.
- Migration `0320_daily_onslaught.sql` maps existing statuses and pause
reasons. It does not create external resources or claim that an existing
harness passed verification.
- Use a coordinated server update for this migration. Older server
versions can write legacy status without the new lifecycle checks.
- A failed onboarding or invitation request can leave a committed hire.
A retry reuses that hire and completes the remaining records.
- Deletion requires completed termination. Company deletion can require
another request while cleanup is pending.
- Required plugins must make repeated calls safe and reject older
revisions. A disabled or removed required plugin blocks completion until
it is restored.
- A new hire can run a second harness test after the existing UI test.
Some adapters can charge for this test.
- No live provider test was run. Provider implementation and resource
backfill remain separate work.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, code tools, and local test
execution.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 06484b3c41 fix: preserve conversation retries through execution cleanup (#15463)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Recovery schedules bounded retries after a provider disconnects.
> - A stopped run can still hold its environment lease while cleanup
runs.
> - Retrying before that lease is released cancels the new run before it
starts and spends another retry.
> - Restoring the task can also send the worker repair instructions from
an already resolved recovery action.
> - This pull request preserves the waiting retry and removes settled
recovery instructions from later wakes.
> - The task can continue after cleanup without an operator repairing
the same incident again.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A legacy conversation run disconnected while it was doing ordinary work.
Its environment cleanup took longer than the retry delay. Two retries
were cancelled before dispatch with `execution_reconciliation_required`.
Those cancellations exhausted the failure budget. After an operator
restored the task, the wake still told the original worker to repair the
runtime and hand the task back to itself.

**Expected behavior**

Cleanup waits preserve the pending attempt. The same retry can continue
after ownership is released, subject to all current gates. Once a
recovery action is resolved or cancelled, subsequent task wakes omit its
repair instructions.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Fail a legacy conversation run while its environment lease remains in
`pending_cleanup`.
2. Schedule a bounded retry and run promotion before cleanup releases
that lease.
3. Repeat the scheduler sweep. Before this fix, retries promote and then
cancel without starting.
4. Resolve a stranded-task recovery action and build the restored task
wake with that action ID. Before this fix, the wake still includes the
settled repair instructions.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced with database regressions against `ceabc3bc880` on master.

Related: #15019 restores a skipped assignment handoff after lease
release. #15235 filters stale handoff evidence in the recovery sweep.
This change preserves an existing scheduled conversation retry and
corrects restored wake content. It does not create a new handoff wake.

## What Changed

- Keep an unstarted legacy conversation retry on the same durable row
while prior execution ownership remains active. Recheck after 30 seconds
without increasing retry accounting.
- Return a queued retry to scheduled state if it encounters that hold at
the claim gate. Retain its issue claim and publish the status change.
- Record one local lifecycle diagnostic per blocking run. Remove that
wait marker on promotion.
- Include recovery action metadata only while the referenced action is
active or escalated.
- Return an explicit `waiting` response and the saved schedule when
Retry now meets cleanup. Show the wait inline without a false success or
disabled button.
- Add database, rendered-prompt, route, and UI regressions. Document the
execution and run-log contracts.

## Verification

- Five cleanup and restored-wake regressions fail against the original
production code. The Retry now route and UI regressions also fail before
their correction.
- Related retry, dispatch, stale-queue, and recovery suites: 321 tests
pass across seven files. All ten focused cleanup/restored-wake cases
pass after rebase. The final dispatch adjustment passes all 46 adapter
tests.
- Retry now routes and affected UI suites: all 46 tests pass. The tests
cover repeated clicks, the saved schedule, unchanged accounting,
promotion after release, and no false success or error state.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, `pnpm build-storybook`, and `pnpm
check:token-gates` pass.
- Full local `pnpm test:run` was started and then stopped after the
final commit passed all GitHub CI test shards. No complete local
full-suite result is claimed; CI supplies the complete test result for
the final commit.
- Final head `6f1058a332c039e33c4f002b296d20a5554e760e`: all 55 GitHub
checks are green or intentionally skipped. Apex review is 5/5 after two
reviews, with no unresolved threads. The PR has no merge conflicts.

## Risks

The wait applies only to unstarted legacy conversation retries. Native
runs and non-conversation execution keep their existing recovery rules.
Cleanup must actually release ownership before execution can resume. The
wait does not fix a cleanup service that never finishes. Promotion and
dispatch still enforce cancellation, reassignment, pause, budget, and
reconciliation gates. No schema change is required. The Retry now
response adds a `waiting` outcome; the shared contract and all three UI
controls handle it.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex based on GPT-6, with repository analysis, tool use, and
local code execution. The runtime does not expose the precise serving
model ID or context window.

DottaandPaperclip f2715e02bb fix(native): surface model capacity errors and retry automatically (#15347)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native runs preserve provider events and results, then decide task
state.
> - Codex can fail a turn because the selected model is temporarily at
capacity.
> - Paperclip displayed a generic native-session failure and left the
task in recovery.
> - A known capacity failure needs a clear message and a durable delayed
retry.
> - This pull request uses committed terminal evidence, the
status-effect ledger, and existing dispatch gates.
> - The task can continue automatically without an unbounded retry loop
or a model switch.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #13993 adds launcher capacity deferrals before provider
startup. This change handles a committed native Codex `serverOverloaded`
terminal after provider work has started.

**What happened?**
A native Codex turn ended with `codexErrorInfo: serverOverloaded` and
“Selected model is at capacity. Please try a different model.” Paperclip
saved the result, showed a generic failure, and required recovery
instead of waiting and retrying.

**Expected behavior**
Show the capacity error directly. Schedule bounded retries after a short
delay. Preserve saved work and honor current execution gates.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a native Codex task.
2. Commit a `turn.failed` event with `serverOverloaded`, then accept a
failed result for the same turn.
3. Inspect the task error and its recovery state. The regression test
reproduces this without a paid provider call.

**Paperclip version or commit**
Reproduced against master `16b7db35ffa0f9a95913c8cbdeea3d595435691f`.

## What Changed

- Classify capacity failures from committed runner events and the pinned
execution identity. Preserve accepted results and display the specific
capacity error.
- Atomically persist one scheduled successor with the status decision.
Retry after one minute, then two minutes. Share the existing failure
budget and stop after two automatic retries.
- Reuse dispatch gates for ownership, task holds, dependencies, budget,
and locks. Wait for predecessor execution, finalization, and cleanup
before claiming a retry.
- Preserve pending reviewer authority and suppress retries after
reassignment or a successor claim.
- Consume the failed run's resume receipt and delivered wake input.
Rebuild ordinary continuation from the failed run so explicitly resumed
tasks can retry without borrowing one-run authorization.
- Label scheduled retries “Model at capacity.” Add a Storybook example
and avoid duplicate punctuation in the existing retry card.
- Add regression coverage and document the runtime contract.

## Verification

- Targeted recovery and UI suites: 125 tests passed. Additional final
cleanup and lock regressions passed.
- Latest-head continuation and authorization regressions: 57 tests
passed, including all four capacity integration tests against an
isolated PostgreSQL database.
- Rechecked all four capacity integration tests with the full runner's
isolated `PAPERCLIP_HOME`, config, temporary directory, and serial fork
settings: passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed. Final server typecheck passed.
- `pnpm build`: passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates`: passed.
- Browser: checked the real Storybook card. It shows the capacity
message, automatic retry time, and existing Retry now action.
- `pnpm test:run`: attempted and restarted after an interruption. The
resumed run started before the final review correction and was stopped
after recorded workspace/native test failures and the five-minute Git
streaming timeout already documented on master. Exit 130; no complete
local full-suite pass is claimed. Current-head isolated capacity tests
and the complete CI suite pass.
- A combined local recovery-suite attempt also hit PostgreSQL
initialization failures at this macOS host's global shared-memory limit
(32 slots). The focused recovery suites passed separately; final-head
capacity tests also pass with the full runner's isolated environment
settings.
- Latest-head GitHub checks: all 56 checks green, including general and
serialized test shards, browser E2E, typecheck, build, Runner
verification, and canary dry run. No merge conflicts.
- Greptile: 5/5 on `813a470b8c18c05aeb7e31e63e573c3a3a2f5cac`, with zero
unresolved findings after fixing the resumed-task continuation issue.

## Risks

- Capacity retries can repeat a task turn after partial work. They start
a fresh provider session with task history and wait for predecessor
cleanup. They do not resume the failed turn.
- Retries retain the configured model unless an operator changes
configuration. Persistent overload consumes the existing failure budget
and then needs an explicit retry or model change.
- Only run-bound native Codex `serverOverloaded` failures qualify.
Usage-limit exhaustion, model/account incompatibility, unbound text, and
unknown provider failures retain their current recovery behavior.
- No schema migration is required.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex. The exact model ID and context-window size
are not exposed to this session. Used reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and browser verification. No subagents.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 1d5a439e2b Diagnose native model rejections and preserve repairable reviews (#15304)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent execution and recovery.
> - A native provider can return a failed turn with an accepted result.
> - This path replaced a structured model rejection with a generic
failure.
> - Finalization could also queue the same failed request for recovery.
> - This change retains a bounded model and authentication diagnosis.
> - Workers wait for a configuration fix; reviews retain their
assignment.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Describe the bug**

A native Codex turn can report HTTP 400 because the selected model is
not supported by its ChatGPT connection. When the turn also returns a
failed semantic result, the run shows `Native session failed` and
`adapter_failed`. The native failed-result finalizer can create a retry
intent before the adapter error is saved.

**To Reproduce**

Use a native Codex session that returns a structured
`invalid_request_error` model/ChatGPT rejection and an accepted failed
result. The regression tests reproduce this with a stub provider and a
real isolated PostgreSQL database. No provider account or live request
is needed.

**Expected behavior**

Show an actionable error and stop automatic retries of the rejected
request. Block the current worker for a configuration fix. Preserve a
pending review so its reviewer can explicitly retry after repair and
resolve the original assignment. A stale run must not block a new task
owner or override a completed review.

**Version and deployment mode**

The affected source path is present at `858094ba81`. This change applies
to native Codex execution in local and remote environments.

Related work: #13853 covers CLI protocol compatibility, #14942 refreshes
runtime/model pins, and #12767 proposes legacy adapter model validation.
This change concerns accepted native failed results and does not replace
those changes.

## What Changed

- Recognize only a bounded structured HTTP 400 provider error for the
exact selected model and failed turn.
- Save a fixed actionable error and four fixed diagnostic fields.
Exclude raw provider text and model names from the new diagnostic.
- Re-derive finalization evidence from the pinned execution and
committed runner event, including its canonical hash and identity
bindings.
- Block only the current worker. For a current pending reviewer,
preserve the original review decision and status version, release
execution, and create no automatic recovery action. Recheck execution
ownership under the issue lock. Preserve superseded and completed
reviews.
- Keep unknown failures, accepted results, cleanup, and ownership fences
intact. Advance the status policy version to `phase6-v8`.
- Route this exact failure code through the existing configuration
recovery path. Permit an authenticated Board retry of this native
failure only for its saved, still-pending review; discard caller review
markers and revalidate at dispatch.

## Verification

- Node 24: `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed.
- Independent focused validation: 222 tests passed across the new
observer and PostgreSQL integration suites, status arbiter, diagnostic
redaction, recovery classification, wake policy, and wake use cases.
- The integration tests use actual result persistence, finalization, and
the wake dispatcher. They cover zero retry dispatch for an authorized
rejection, repeated reconciliation, pending/superseded/resolved reviews,
reassignment, and a same-agent successor at an unchanged status version.
- Final-commit verification: full typecheck and build passed;
independent route/integration/arbiter/review validation passed 136 tests
with no remaining source findings. This includes authenticated retry
refusals, actual heartbeat retry admission, atomic queued-review claim,
and acceptance of the original review.
- The local aggregate test run was stopped to avoid duplicating the
canonical Linux CI aggregate on this development host. Its partial log
showed no failures; no full local-suite pass is claimed. The full hosted
Linux CI aggregate passed on the final commit.
- No live provider calls, runtime changes, or schema changes were made.

## Risks

The classifier is intentionally narrow. A changed provider response
format remains an unknown failure. No global model restriction is
introduced. The worker blocker requires current task authority and does
not replace newer assignments or completed review decisions. A pending
review remains in review and requires an explicit retry after
configuration repair; it is not rebound to a new status decision.

The retry decision is durable. There remains a small existing gap
between status/effect commit and diagnostic metadata persistence; a
crash there can leave a generic diagnostic while preserving the blocked
decision. No schema migration is required.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 0e0b63e5a5 feat(connections): add experimental task-pinned AI routing (#14967)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - AI Connections separate account access from models and harnesses.
> - A pool must act as one connection while retaining each task’s
account.
> - Core must enforce member access and preserve session and recovery
rules.
> - A plugin supplies rotation policy without receiving credentials.
> - This change adds durable routing and native connector setup and
management.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

AI Connections, Connectors, plugins, run dispatch, and session
compatibility.

**Problem or motivation**

Operators need to rotate new tasks across saved accounts while each task
keeps its account and session. Pool setup must fit the existing
connector catalog and account workflow.

**Proposed solution**

Add an experimental router binding, a capability-gated plugin hook, and
transactional task pins. Plugins declare native pooled connectors
through `aiConnectionRouter`. Core hosts the existing-account picker,
ordering step, and account settings. Related usage contract: #14936.
Companion private plugin:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-cloud/pull/643.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends Apps and AI Connections. Core supplies generic enforcement
and native connector UI; the private plugin owns rotation and quota
policy. The prior duplicate search found no matching router
implementation.

## What Changed

- Add a router binding without changing existing concrete bindings. Keep
the instance flag and new pools disabled by default. Require manual
operator configuration. Show no routing toggle in Experimental settings
on either open-source or Cloud installs, even after routing is enabled.
- Persist company-scoped pools, one shared cursor per pool, and pins
keyed by company, pool, agent, and task. Commit pins and cursor advances
together with revision checks and bounded retries. Persist run-ID
affinity before allocation.
- Pass only authorized metadata and normalized usage to plugins. Core
retains credential handling, member access checks, runtime
qualification, and recovery evidence. Probe outside locks with a shared
15-second budget and freshness cache.
- Resolve routing before credential preparation and backend selection.
Preserve pins through turns, session resets, removed members, and quota
waits. Retain admitted recovery after disable or uninstall.
- Separate credential session epochs from token generations. Verified
refresh preserves the epoch; reconnect and manual replacement change it.
Include the credential slot ID in session and usage-cache identity, so
reconnecting an indexed legacy account invalidates its old session even
when both epochs are zero.
- Validate pool member installations before accepting saved-agent
bindings and recheck compatibility when the harness changes. Install
only authorized members in the new-agent transaction and record their
IDs in local activity. Pool membership cannot install a restricted
shared connection.
- Preserve pool bindings when agents hire teammates through either
creation API or native caller runtime inheritance. Block stale manager
credential references; retain explicit child authentication precedence
and reject incompatible inherited pools.
- Add native connector registration through plugin metadata. Reuse the
Connectors catalog, setup header, account header, sidebar, dialogs, and
usage display. Setup selects and orders saved connections. Advanced
settings hold usage rules and member runtime defaults. New-account setup
opens in another tab.
- Use revision-checked pool archival from the Connectors catalog and
account page. Keep task pins, cursors, recovery evidence, and underlying
connections. Reject ordinary connection updates or removals that bypass
pool revisions.
- Add pool selectors, composer models, override notes, quota status, run
details, activity records, and local run-log records. Keep
session-adoption copy minimal.
- Show **Used by** below the pool connections. List current company
agents with shared avatars and profile links. Include paused agents;
exclude terminated agents and agents using another pool.
- Add Core stories for the generic connector workflow and runtime
surfaces. Cloud stories reuse these production routes and tokens through
a preview-only alias.

## Verification

- Final head `73cb953bca30ed83e4505dd820edd9b5edffd28b`: full workspace
`pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, and `pnpm check:token-gates` pass
locally.
- All 422 focused connector/settings/shared-contract/migration tests and
all 156 database-backed AI connection, hiring, reconnect, and
durable-routing cases pass (69 hiring cases rerun after the final
auth-precedence fix). The merged shared contract retains connection
instructions and pool metadata. The pool migration is generated at
sequence 0299 after the latest upstream migrations; this PR makes no
lockfile changes.
- All four full-app Playwright tests pass on the final head after a cold
restart and migration, against the installed private plugin and isolated
database, with no route or pool-API mocks. They cover hidden routing
controls after manual opt-in, native pool creation, ordering, membership
edits, rename, paused defaults, enabling/save/refresh persistence, stale
edits, cancellation/removal, preserved underlying accounts, unavailable
routers, and Used by avatars and profile links. Exact command:
`PAPERCLIP_CONNECTION_POOL_E2E=1
AI_CONNECTIONS_TEST_COMPANY_ID=a37b9625-5ecf-4e29-8081-04df3d6e7d6f
AI_CONNECTIONS_TEST_URL=http://127.0.0.1:3108 pnpm exec playwright test
--config tests/ai-connections-app/playwright.config.ts
connection-pools.spec.ts`.
- [Native setup, ordering, and management
screenshots](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/14967#issuecomment-6006976278)
address the review follow-up. [Earlier selector, quota, and run-detail
screenshots](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/14967#issuecomment-5971537316)
show the runtime surfaces. Core previews: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui
storybook`, then **Connectors / Pool host** or **AI Connections /
Connection pools**. Cloud owns its host-backed plugin stories; both
repositories’ Operator Setup Required story assertions pass.
- Live acceptance used OpenAI/Codex and Anthropic/Claude ACPX, resumed
both exact sessions after restart, preserved pinned accounts through
explicit reset and controlled quota deferral/recovery, and committed
only two allocations across fourteen runs. A later UI-created task test
again rotated OpenAI then Anthropic and resumed OpenAI through
follow-up/restart/quota recovery. That later Anthropic execution was
blocked by its saved OAuth token expiring (provider 401). No live usage
probes ran.
- The full local `pnpm test:run` was attempted earlier and did not
complete because of macOS embedded PostgreSQL bootstrap/shared-memory
failures and the 40,000-file Git fixture timeout. The focused database
suites above now pass; full-suite verification is provided by the split
CI lanes. The preceding CI run had one runtime readiness timeout; it
passes locally both alone and inside the larger runtime suite. That
larger local suite also encountered an embedded PostgreSQL setup failure
and two macOS temporary-path alias assertions; those two assertions pass
with canonical TMPDIR=/private/tmp. All final-head CI checks are
terminal green, including full general/serialized server suites, Runner
checks, browser E2E shards, canary verification, build, and typecheck.
Greptile is 5/5 on that exact head with no unresolved threads.

## Risks

- The migration adds routing tables and a credential epoch column.
Install the private plugin only with the compatible Core contract.
- Routing and each pool require opt-in. Production distribution and
fleet defaults remain unchanged.
- Unknown usage stays eligible. Known pinned exhaustion waits; revoked
access requires operator repair.
- Legacy adapters require compatible members. Runner model and effort
overrides remain limited by qualified backend support.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository editing, code
execution, and browser testing. The exact deployment model ID and
context window are not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 9ae3d8db3d fix: keep pre-dispatch review waits out of execution recovery (#15024)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The queued-run gate can cancel a continuation that must wait for
review.
> - This cancellation happens before execution authority or a provider
starts.
> - Recovery currently treats the gate receipt as unknown provider
execution.
> - That mistake blocks a conversation after a successful reply and
hides Retry.
> - This pull request recognizes only the recorded, unclaimed
review-wait state.
> - Review waits keep their normal disposition path, and new user input
can recover older false holds.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #15015, #15020, and #15022. Related #11614 narrows the review
posture that causes cancellation; this change corrects recovery after a
valid cancellation.

**What happened?**

After a successful agent reply, the queued-run gate cancelled an
automatic continuation with `issue_continuation_waiting_on_review`. The
gate retained `timeoutSource: stale_queued_run_gate` and a matching stop
reason. No execution authority or provider started. Recovery still
created an unknown-action hold, moved the task to Blocked, and hid
Retry.

**Expected behavior**

Use normal review-wait disposition repair for this recorded state. Allow
Retry, a new user message, or saved undelivered input to recover an
older false hold after ordinary admission checks pass. Preserve the
cancelled run and do not replay its input.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Finish an agent turn on an open task that has a real review target.
2. Let the automatic continuation reach the queued-run review gate.
3. Refresh after the cancelled run is checked by recovery.
4. Confirm a review wait is handled as a wait rather than unknown
provider work.
5. Reproduce an older false hold for the same receipt, then request
Retry or send a new message.
6. Confirm only one fresh turn starts, and contradictory execution or
cleanup evidence retains the hold.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `215586d127`.

**Deployment mode**

Authenticated private self-hosted server, built from source.

## What Changed

- Recognize the exact review-wait dispatch receipt only while all
execution claims remain unset.
- Exempt recovery only after checking retained launch and provider
events, coordinators, and environment cleanup. Keep the synchronous
classifier conservative without that database proof.
- Apply the verified classification to automatic recovery, heartbeat
retries, and stranded-queue release, so saved user input starts once.
- Reuse guarded startup admission for Retry, new input, and saved input
on older false holds.
- Show a precise review-wait notice and keep continuation guidance
consistent with Retry availability.
- Verify provider events, launch events, coordinators, and cleanup
before admission.
- Add five initial red regressions, three additional red recovery
evidence regressions, concurrent saved-input coverage, and negative
evidence checks.
- Document the review-wait contract.

## Verification

- Red: five regressions fail on unchanged master. Existing review-wait
and contradictory-evidence cases still pass.
- Workspace `pnpm -r typecheck` passes.
- All 752 affected recovery, continuation, queue, classification, and
retry-scheduling tests pass.
- Three additional review regressions failed before the database proof
was added; all 12 focused review-wait cases then pass.
- Workspace `pnpm build` passes.
- Saved-input promotion and recovery notice regressions fail before
their fixes and pass afterward.
- Current-head CI has 54 passing checks and 2 skipped optional Storybook
checks. Greptile reviewed `0bf1437110e1617ae4544afa41f4319eac763dba` at
5/5 with zero open findings. The complete suite runs in sharded CI. No
complete local monolithic pass is claimed; an earlier long run was
stopped, and its unrelated failing case passed in isolation.

## Risks

The error code alone cannot establish that no provider started. This
exception also requires the server gate receipt, matching stop reason,
and null execution authority fields. User admission separately checks
coordinator, launch and provider events, environment cleanup, pending
decisions, ownership, task holds, budget, and active execution. No
migration or dependency change.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, an agent based on GPT-6. The exact runtime model ID and
context window are not exposed in this session. Used reasoning,
repository tools, code execution, and browser inspection.

DottaandPaperclip cc67d4e1d8 fix: preserve steering and recover stopped task conversations (#15015)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A task conversation must let a user guide a running agent and resume
stopped work.
> - The active run owns its input protocol, even when the user changes
the next model or effort.
> - Queue delivery waits for a provider receipt, which must be able to
persist during the request.
> - A stopped startup also needs a clear user action that passes normal
task admission.
> - This pull request fixes steering delivery, makes queue actions
immediate, and restores explicit continuation.
> - The benefit is a responsive conversation that can recover without
losing saved input.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A queued message could change from Steer to Interrupt while a native run
prepared. A steer request could wait on its own database lock and fail
to deliver. A stopped startup could then leave the conversation without
a working Retry or message continuation. Interrupt also waited for the
server and showed a toast.

**Expected behavior**

The active run keeps its input protocol. Steer delivers input to that
run. Steer and Interrupt clear the submitted queue rows and show the
input in the conversation immediately. Failed delivery restores the
latest queue with an inline error. An eligible stopped run offers Retry,
and authenticated user input can start a fresh turn through normal task
admission.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a task with a native Paperclip Runner.
2. Change the selected model or effort while that run prepares.
3. Queue a message and press Steer.
4. Observe the provider receipt and queue state during the request.
5. Stop a startup before its provider process begins, then try Retry or
send a new message.
6. Repeat queued delivery with a legacy runner and press Interrupt.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on the parent of this branch, `59c07ede7`.

**Deployment mode**

Authenticated private deployment. The fixes also cover local task
conversations.

Related work: Refs #12834, Refs #13354, Refs #13275. The open refactor
in #13160 moves the same queue route; it does not fix the receipt lock
or stopped-run continuation addressed here.

## What Changed

- Select queue behavior from the active run's immutable dispatch and
runtime resolution.
- Leave the run row unlocked during provider acknowledgement, then lock
and read it before merging the receipt.
- Retain queued input if the target run stops during that wait. Keep
inline delivery errors visible after empty queue updates.
- Permit exact Retry and authenticated continuation after verified
native startup cancellation. Preserve pause, approval, budget,
ownership, and process-stop gates.
- Carry undelivered native queue input into a fresh turn once the old
execution is confirmed stopped.
- Show Steer and Interrupt input in the conversation and clear submitted
composer rows immediately. Restore the latest queue inline on failure.
Remove delivery toasts.
- Keep optimistic delivery stable across stale polls, empty queues, and
paginated history. Preserve classic Interrupt error handling.
- Document recovery and optimistic delivery behavior. Add regression
tests across server, shared queue projection, and UI boundaries.

## Verification

- Red-green regression tests reproduced the queue protocol, receipt
lock, stopped-startup continuation, and optimistic delivery failures.
- The focused server route, continuation, queue, and runner boundary
suites passed during implementation.
- The queue-route suite passes with 78 tests. The three complete
conversation UI suites pass with 347 tests.
- UI typecheck, production build, and `pnpm check:token-gates` pass.
- Workspace `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass. The local
monolithic `pnpm test:run` is still running; remote CI verifies the
complete suite on the latest commit.
- All CI gates pass on `bd9031ad56abfcde13d13a13488c1b9217c2fd3a`,
including the full test shards, runner verification, browser E2E,
typecheck, release registry, and canary dry run.
- Greptile reports 5/5 for that commit. Both review threads are
resolved.

## Risks

This changes queue display and explicit continuation admission. The UI
must restore rejected delivery without losing other-session edits. The
server must preserve concurrent provider result updates and must not
resume a process whose stop is uncertain. Focused tests cover these
boundaries. This change has no database migration.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, an agent based on GPT-6. The exact runtime model ID and
context window are not exposed in this session. Used reasoning,
repository tools, code execution, and browser inspection.

DottaandPaperclip 0829d94af2 fix(auth): derive low-trust human direction from existing execution records (#14775)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Low-trust review contains work that may include hostile input.
> - Its default intake boundary currently blocks direct human chat and
tasks outside that boundary.
> - Human direction should authorize the assigned work while preserving
containment.
> - Existing conversations and execution requests already identify
direct human instructions.
> - This pull request derives exact-task authority from those records
and the current assignee.
> - The agent can perform that work without gaining access to unrelated
tasks or privileged tools.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A low-trust agent with a project boundary rejects its owner's direct
Agent Chat before provider execution. Human-assigned tasks outside that
project fail the same check.

**Expected behavior**

An authorized human can talk to the agent or assign it a task. The exact
task runs with its existing sandbox, credential, and tool restrictions.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Enable Agent Chat and isolated workspaces. Configure a sandbox agent
with low-trust review scoped to an intake project.
2. Send the agent a direct board chat message, or assign it a
projectless task.
3. Observe `low_trust_boundary_mismatch` before execution.

Related: #14766 adds private task directories for repo-free low-trust
execution. It is now merged into master and included in the branch base,
so CI and staging verify the combined behavior.

## What Changed

- Derive owner-chat access from existing conversation identity.
- Derive exact-task access from the existing human requester and
server-owned request origin, including coalesced requests. Plugin and
external sender attribution do not authorize work.
- Follow existing `retryOfRunId` database links for automatic
continuations, checking company, agent, and task throughout; cancelled
ancestors cannot grant authority.
- Require a live run and current assignment. Preserve sandbox,
credential, privileged-tool, responsible-user, and quarantined-output
checks.
- Retain board backlog assignments in existing request records without
starting execution. Reassignment cancels old human requests in the
common service transaction, including plugin writes; late settlement
cannot revive them.
- Add real database and HTTP coverage for request provenance, retry
ancestry, cancelled runs, concurrent reassignment, spoofing, and
containment. Document the rule.
- Preserve legacy board assignment requests through their existing
source, reason, and human requester.
- Use the existing wrapped-error helper for concurrent chat-question
idempotency; a deterministic race test reproduces the CI failure before
the fix and passes after it.
- No new schema, migrations, or user-identity fields. Existing requester
columns hold attribution.

## Verification

- Passed the focused database, policy-retention, HTTP, and reassignment
tests locally. The HTTP test creates a task through the real board route
and checks the resulting persisted wakeup before exercising agent reads,
comments, mutations, and review handoff.
- Database tests hold a reassignment transaction open to verify coherent
authorization before and after commit, with a two-connection pool. They
cover retries, coalesced requests, cancelled ancestry, invalid
cross-company/agent/task links, cycles, and forged attribution.
- Full local `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed on the final
commit (`d107c26df`). [Latest-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36815589542)
passed: 54 successful checks, two expected skips, including all eight
browser-test shards. Greptile is 5/5 on this exact commit with no
unresolved threads. Local tests were targeted; the full test suite ran
through CI’s test matrix.
- The revised HTTP suite passed all 13 tests; database authorization
tests passed all 11, including legacy compatibility and late watchdog
settlement; the backlog route contract passed all 3 tests. Another 102
tests covering durable chat admission, wake queues, and Cursor execution
passed.
- All 90 interaction-service tests passed with both create calls
deliberately held until their optimistic reads complete, forcing
duplicate-key recovery. That forced race failed before switching to the
shared wrapped-error helper.
- Previous staging proof covered owner chat and projectless task
persistence. The simplified revision has not been redeployed; that
earlier proof is not claimed for the new implementation.

## Risks

- This is an authorization change: only the live run's exact task
qualifies, and normal responsible-user restrictions still apply.
- Existing request and retry records are authoritative. Merely naming a
responsible/originating user or an external connector sender does not
qualify.
- Reassignment invalidates existing human request records
transactionally. A cancelled run or request cannot regain authority when
the task is assigned back.
- Ordinary task exceptions require server-owned origin or the legacy
board assignment source/reason/actor combination. Existing owner chats
use conversation identity.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 2de43fc909 fix(issues): keep agent mentions as context and defer personal app authorization (#14577)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Each task has one assignee. Explicit assignment and review requests
select who should act.
> - An agent mention started another agent on a task it did not own.
Native attachment staging then rejected that run.
> - Allowing that run through startup could also let two agents work on
the same task.
> - Mentions should identify relevant context. They should not start
work or forward comments to other tasks.
> - A personal app installed on a shared agent must also wait until tool
use to resolve the current user's grant.
> - This pull request removes mention dispatch and keeps missing
personal app credentials from blocking startup.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A native agent mentioned on another agent's task failed with
`paperclip_runner_attachment_staging_not_authorized`. The source task
could already be complete. A nearby optional-app warning was a separate
problem: personal app tools were excluded when their shared health state
required attention.

**Expected behavior**

An agent mention is context only. It does not wake the agent, take
ownership, or copy a comment onto another task. Normal feedback still
reaches the assignee. Assignment and explicit review requests still
dispatch work. An unavailable personal app does not block startup or
produce a startup warning. Tool use requests the current user's
authorization and never uses another user's grant.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Assign a task to agent A. Post a comment that mentions agent B,
including a comment that closes A's task or references B's child task.
2. Confirm the comment retains its agent link and B receives no run or
deferred wake. A can still receive normal feedback.
3. Install an active personal MCP connection on B. Give only Alice a
grant and leave shared health at `error`.
4. Explicitly assign work to B for another user. Confirm it can finish
without using the app.
5. Ask B to use the app. Confirm its tool call shows an inline
connection request for the current user.

Related work: Refs #11144. This change uses the existing execution-time
personal grant resolution.

## What Changed

- Remove mention dispatch from standalone comments and issue updates.
Remove implicit forwarding of parent comments to a mentioned worker's
child task.
- Ignore new requests with the legacy mention wake reason before
creating a run or deferred request. Preserve already accepted queue
entries, which can combine assignments and feedback with a later
mention.
- Remove the native mention admission, staging, and finalization
exceptions from this PR. Native task ownership checks remain intact.
- Keep active, installed personal app tools available despite shared
health errors. Remove optional-app startup warnings. Tool execution
retains the current user's grant and policy checks.
- Update agent instructions and product/API docs. Refresh generated
capability source anchors.

## Verification

- Red: comment-route regressions reproduced extra agent wakes and child
comment forwarding. A separate regression proved that cancelling by the
last coalesced reason could drop an accepted assignment.
- Green: the targeted route, wake queue, heartbeat, workspace,
responsible-user, MCP discovery, and HTTP gateway suites passed. The
final queue and heartbeat rerun passed 104 tests, the restored queue
adapter passed 56, and both comment-route suites passed 135. These
include accepted assignment preservation, rejection of new mention
requests, and normal assignee feedback.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed locally. The full local
`pnpm test:run` attempt was interrupted for review/CI fixes, so it is
not claimed as a completed local pass. It exposed a cleanup timing race
in the concurrent-mention assertion, now fixed and verified across 10
repetitions. CI also exposed an obsolete test waiting for the removed
mention lookup; it was reproduced and fixed, then both comment suites
passed. Final full-suite verification is through CI.
- Final head `bd9ea4cb05a8f081c54e017760a8999f9ea6ef44`: 54 checks
passed, 2 Storybook checks intentionally skipped; no pending or failing
checks. Full CI includes general and serialized suites, all 8 browser
shards, runner verification, typecheck, build, and canary dry run.
Greptile is 5/5 on this exact commit, with no unresolved findings.
- One unchanged Cursor adapter test hit its 10-second CI timeout. All 5
tests in that file passed locally; one retry of its CI shard passed all
674 tests (3 skipped). The aggregate verification gate then passed. No
code or timeout was changed for that retry.
- Live browser check: inserted a structured mention with the picker on a
human-owned task. The saved link remained visible. Database checks found
zero new runs and zero wake requests.
- Live Codex runner check: explicitly assigned that task with the
unavailable personal app attached. The run succeeded and committed
completion without using the app or creating a connection card.
- Live browser follow-up: asked the assignee to call PostHog and
mentioned another enabled agent as context. Only the assignee ran. It
succeeded and displayed the existing inline connection card. Only
Alice's grant existed; the run belonged to a different user.
- The HTTP regression covers tool discovery with no provider calls or
connection cards, first use returning the current user's authorization
request, and successful retry after that user's grant exists.
- App checks use an isolated local fixture and a fake MCP provider. They
do not use production app credentials.

## Risks

- Intentional behavior change: workflows that used mentions to wake
agents must use assignment, a bounded child task, or an explicit review
request.
- Already accepted queue entries retain their prior rules. An old entry
can combine assignment or feedback with a later mention; its last reason
cannot safely identify mention-only work. New mention requests create no
run or deferred wake.
- Personal apps with a shared health error remain discoverable. Actual
tool use still requires the responsible user's grant and existing policy
gates.
- No database migration or public API schema change.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and browser testing. The exact serving model ID and
context-window size are not exposed in this session.
- Live native-run verification used `gpt-6-astra` through the Codex
provider.

DottaandPaperclip 96bf004a79 fix: use persisted state for lifecycle continuation and retry budgets (#13888)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Its control plane decides when a task can continue, wait, stop, or
complete.
> - Legacy continuation could change when an agent changed its wording
without changing task state.
> - Shared attempt counts also let repair and infrastructure retries
affect each other's limits.
> - This pull request uses persisted state and separate, bounded
allowances for these decisions.
> - If automatic repair stops, the task explains what happened and
offers a guarded retry.
> - Paired tests and real-provider evaluations verify that Stop,
approvals, ownership, and spending limits remain authoritative.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related work: Refs #13761, Refs #11126, Refs #13610. These cover
obsolete continuation dispatch and retry storms. Open and closed issues
and PRs were searched for related lifecycle, continuation, and retry
work.

**What happened?**
Legacy continuation depended on English wording and progress heuristics.
Repair, failure retry, and productive continuation could consume shared
counts. When bounded repair stopped, the task showed a technical
recovery message without a clear next action.

**Expected behavior**
Persisted disposition and owned execution paths determine the next
action. Missing disposition prompts bounded agent repair. Explicit work
mode determines planning mode. Narrative changes and raw activity counts
cannot replenish allowances. An exhausted repair shows a readable
notice. An explicit retry checks current controls and preserves the
assigned agent.

**Steps to reproduce**
Run `pnpm test:lifecycle-baseline`. The paired probes keep structured
state constant while varying completion, planning, blocker, and progress
prose. Run the explicit `lifecycle-baseline` and
`continuation-accounting` Product E2E suites for real-provider coverage.
In Storybook, open **Design previews / Recovery notice** to inspect the
production component's normal, pending, acknowledged, unavailable,
failure, and mobile states.

## What Changed

- Hide the image attachment button, icon, and drop/paste hint in answer
composers. Image paste and drop support remains available.
- Merge current master and retain both browser regression sets. Use a
production-stamped service worker in the offline recovery browser
fixture.
- Share one state-based legacy continuation decision across immediate,
delayed, and recovered dispatch. Bind bounded repairs to their source
run and episode.
- Remove title and description wording from work-mode authority. Agents
can still write requested plans in execution mode.
- Persist separate failure-retry and productive-continuation counters.
Disposition repair and resource waits cannot consume or reset those
allowances.
- Validate delayed repair identity, then recheck current gates before
provider dispatch. Fence native startup cancellation.
- Show **Agent needs attention**, a plain-language explanation, **Retry
agent**, and expandable details in both task interfaces. Report request
progress, acknowledgement, and errors inline.
- Store typed recovery notice metadata. Recognize older active notices
only through exact stored action and run IDs. Notice text never grants
retry authority.
- Use the existing recovery-action endpoint for retry. Recheck current
action, status, owner, agent availability, dependencies, active runs,
pending questions and confirmations, approvals, pause controls, and
budget. Duplicate requests do not wake twice.
- Add component, page, route, database, contract, and Storybook
coverage. Keep the scenario inventory and executable evals here.
Historical reports and snapshots live in the [commit-pinned
paperclip-evals
archive](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-evals/blob/ce3e5afcd4a1184650f586a2b5b8be5874c66c8b/experiments/2026-09-lifecycle-authority/README.md).
- Preserve unsaved project fields while the same project URL changes to
its canonical alias. Do not reuse data across projects or companies.
This separate fix addresses the repeated repository-editor browser
failure without changing the browser test.
- Keep the development service worker from intercepting Vite module
reloads. Update the connection-intent browser fixture to record progress
and completion through the agent API.

## Verification

Merge preparation on September 25, commit
`c1e8e4b7ddd9fbc4913ed55ce21b8e12906c2f97`:

- Merged master `bd2030932` and resolved the browser test-list conflict
by keeping both sets of regressions.
- Deterministic lifecycle baseline: 1,090/1,090 assertions passed; no
failures, skips, or missing selected evidence. Unit 423, runner 184,
database integration 397, grading 86.
- Browser support: 17/17 passed. The offline recovery test first failed
with an unstamped development worker, then passed with the production
stamp. Its assertions are unchanged.
- Focused interaction UI and offline fallback tests: 19/19 passed.
Verified the custom-answer composer in Storybook: no attachment controls
or hint; entering an answer enables Next.
- Recursive typecheck, production build, token gates, and diff checks
passed. The worktree is clean. No new real-provider campaign was run.
- Current CI and review: [Current PR CI
passed](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36166011243):
55 successful checks and two optional Storybook skips. Greptile scored
this exact commit 5/5. Hiding the question attachment controls is an
intentional UI change; paste/drop remains available.

Earlier recovery UI verification, commit
`21be0fec0e90e86b6d662b8ee4831847cd041cdb`:

- Recursive typecheck, production build, token gates, and diff checks
passed.
- Focused UI coverage: 338 tests passed across six suites (336 before
the interaction guard, with the two affected suites rerun at 149 passed
after it). Covers both task interfaces, the real page mutation,
pending/error acknowledgement, stale state, and unavailable controls.
- Recovery database integration: 352 tests passed before the interaction
guard. The complete recovery-action and mutation-route suites passed 181
tests after it. The two new pending question/confirmation regressions
failed before the fix and passed afterward, including
resolved-interaction controls. Shared validator suite: 31 passed. E2E
catalog suites: 34 passed.
- Browser inspection passed for light/dark themes, mobile layout,
expandable details, pending retry, acknowledgement, failure, and
disabled retry. Storybook renders the production component; its request
is simulated.
- The broad local run hit two chat callback-order wait failures and was
stopped after all CI unit/database/runner shards passed. Both local
failures passed when rerun without the competing full-suite process.
- CI exposed a repeated project-repository draft-loss race during
canonical redirects. A new unit regression failed before the fix; all
nine project-page tests now pass, including controls for other projects
and companies. Both unchanged repository browser tests passed against a
fresh local server. UI typecheck, production UI build, and token gates
passed after this fix.
- [Earlier PR CI
passed](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36072486798)
on `21be0fec0e90e86b6d662b8ee4831847cd041cdb`: 55 successful checks, two
optional Storybook skips, and no failed or pending checks. The
repository browser shard passed with the production fix. Greptile is 5/5
on this exact commit with no unresolved review threads. The PR is
mergeable.

Historical, source-qualified lifecycle evidence:

- Lifecycle baseline: 1,074 assertions. Native session coverage: 447
tests. Product E2E support: 515 tests. Browser support: 11 tests. Full
earlier verification is retained in the archive.
- [Real-provider campaign: 8/8 passed, zero
retries](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-35881382080-1/index.html),
source `e88d210417280140b44a36449027290adcb1aeaa`. Evidence and cleanup
checks passed. This includes deliberately exhausted repair cases that
correctly remain blocked; it does not mean every task finished Done.
This campaign predates the recovery UI change.
- Archive migration verified all 16 original JSON files byte-for-byte
and all 24 checksum entries. App tests do not need private archive
access. [Archive PR
#27](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-evals/pull/27) is merged.

## Risks

- Agents that omit durable disposition receive at most two repair
attempts by default. Prose-only completion exposes missing state rather
than silently changing scheduling.
- A retry is an explicit board action. The server rechecks current
controls. A successful response confirms the task returned to To do; it
does not claim that the provider has already started.
- Existing notice metadata remains valid. Only older active notices with
matching structured evidence receive the new UI. Historical notices
without that evidence keep their existing rendering. No schema migration
is required.
- Old run records require conservative retry accounting. Tests cover old
counters, alternating retry lanes, restarts, and exhausted repairs.
- Historical snapshots require private `paperclip-evals` access. The app
index retains public campaign links. Live campaigns qualify specific
sources and scenarios; no new real-provider campaign has run for the
recovery UI commit.

> This fixes existing lifecycle and recovery behavior and does not
duplicate planned core work.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex assisted implementation, reasoning, code
execution, and review. The exact serving model ID and context window are
not exposed in this task. Historical real-provider evaluations used
Codex model `gpt-5.6-sol`, separately from the implementation assistant.

DottaandPaperclip 7bc03e0acd feat(runner): default harnesses to full auto and support task reassignment (#13686)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people manage AI agents and their work.
> - Agent Chat uses native runners to save plans and coordinate tasks.
> - Provider defaults differed across harnesses and could stop
unattended work at a second permission gate.
> - Agents also lacked a dedicated tool to move existing work to another
agent safely.
> - This change defaults native providers to full automatic permission
for provider tools and connected tools.
> - A guarded reassignment tool preserves task identity, stops the
previous run, and schedules the new owner once.
> - Codex and Claude chat acceptance tests now use production permission
defaults.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Native runner, ACPX Claude permission policy, task authority, and Agent
Chat acceptance tests.

**Problem or motivation**

A user can authorize an agent to save a plan or create a task, but
Claude's default provider gate can still stop that action. Reassignment
needs a dedicated operation that preserves context and avoids concurrent
owners or unintended recovery runs.

**Proposed solution**

Default Claude/ACPX to `approve-all`, OpenCode to `allow`, and Codex to
`never`. Apply the defaults at configuration, execution, fresh-session,
resume, driver, and proxy boundaries. Keep explicit permission settings
and server-side company, claim, task-mode, and approval checks. Add
`reassign_task` with version checks, durable idempotency, audited
cancellation, and guarded successor scheduling.

**Alternatives considered**

A Paperclip-only allowlist still blocks provider tools and other
connections during unattended work. Full automatic permission is the
requested product default. Recreating a task discards its identity and
history. Updating assignment without stopping the previous run can leave
two agents working on the same task.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends the existing planning, delegated work, governed tool
access, and recovery features. It adds no new service or schema
migration. Recent related tasks and open PRs were checked for duplicate
work.

**Additional context**

Related: #13678 (Agent Chat tools and recovery), #13677 (remote runner
startup). The stacked legacy-adapter companion is #13693. This also
fixes the deployed-server artifact fallback needed to stage the current
runner binary.

## What Changed

- Default Claude/ACPX to `approve-all`, OpenCode to `allow`, and Codex
to `never`, including missing settings at direct driver and proxy entry
points. These defaults cover provider tools and connected tools.
Preserve explicitly configured restrictive modes.
- Include assigned approval reads using canonical side-effect
classifications, so verifying a recorded approval does not trigger
another provider gate. Paperclip approval decisions still enforce
controller authority.
- Carry the new permission mode through server configuration, execution
contracts, recovery identity, TypeScript, and Rust. Keep
`approve-paperclip` as an optional restricted mode, with exact SDK rules
and closed unknown requests. It is not a default.
- Add `reassign_task` to the semantic catalog, controller, mock
authority, and generated contracts.
- Guard reassignment with company authorization, expected owner and
version, protected-state checks, and durable retry receipts.
- Honor explicit backlog task creation atomically with the initial plan,
without scheduling a wake. Preserve backlog holds regardless of
dependency readiness.
- Stop active work before changing ownership. Restore the prior owner
through a guarded, idempotent wake if final handoff validation fails.
Keep intentional reassignment stops out of failure recovery. Preserve
backlog and blocked states without waking them early.
- Add authorization, concurrency, replay, stop, and permission boundary
regressions. Add Codex and Claude chat reassignment cases and run native
chat cases with production defaults.
- Clarify shared runner guidance: save plans and Paperclip documents
directly with `write_document`; create and register a local file only
when a downloadable file is requested.
- Document provider defaults and the operator choices for existing
agents.

## Verification

- Current head `d82fbb0f03546d27cecf072250e4172e0b1ee662`: **55 checks
passed**, with two intentional skips. [PR
checks](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13686/checks).
- Greptile reviewed that exact head at **5/5**. The security reviewer
acknowledged the intended full-auto default, and the acknowledged
discussions are resolved.
- Full workspace `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed locally
after rebasing onto current master. Targeted adapter/server, runner,
API, default/resume, and heartbeat configuration tests passed.
- **All six real-provider acceptance cases passed on their first
attempt, with cleanup passing:** plan handoff, task reassignment, and
backlog creation/status, each on native Claude and Codex. Evidence
records Claude's effective `approve-all` mode. [Campaign and
downloadable
evidence](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35469926548).
- The live campaign tested combined revision
`a37881c824dcd7170380fc4b788732fc743e5da7`. The final PR heads add only
a heartbeat test expectation correction; application code is unchanged
from that live-tested revision.
- The campaign's result-enforcement job passed. Its separate report
publisher failed because the trusted workflow's `patchedDependencies`
configuration differs from its frozen lockfile. All six results and
screenshots remain available as GitHub artifacts. The overall manual
workflow is red for this publishing failure.
- Full-suite coverage is supplied by the passing CI partitions. The
separate unsharded local run was stopped after the corresponding CI
partitions passed; it is not counted as a completed local run.
- Reassignment tests cover stale state, cross-company access, denied
authority, cancellation failure, compensating wake, and idempotent
retries. Backlog tests verify the original creation audit, saved plan,
exact task count, and absence of task-bound runs.

## Risks

- Agents with no explicit permission mode now receive full provider tool
permission, including connected tools. This is a deliberate broad
default. Existing explicit restrictive modes still apply. Controller
authorization, company isolation, workspace boundaries, and Paperclip
governance remain in force.
- Reassignment crosses run cancellation and task ownership transactions.
Durable stop intent, revalidation, audit receipts, and guarded queue
dispatch cover interruptions and retries.
- The new permission enum requires a current runner artifact. The remote
artifact fallback uses the same resolved controller binary for upload
and execution.
- Live provider behavior remains subject to the selected model. Targeted
live results do not qualify the full catalog.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with code execution and repository tools.
The exact deployment model ID and context-window size are not exposed in
this session.

DottaandPaperclip 84fe89906d fix: complete native agent review handoffs (#13581)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native execution uses durable runs, issue locks, wake requests, and
typed tool authority
> - A child can finish with a native agent review request while its
original assignee stays responsible for the work
> - The reviewer then needs a bounded execution path that can inspect
the child, record one decision, and finish safely
> - Before this change, assignee-only gates rejected the reviewer or
left the parent waiting after the child review ended
> - This pull request adds typed reviewer admission, scoped reviewer
tools, durable wake and recovery handling, and parent continuation
evidence
> - The benefit is that native review handoffs complete without changing
child ownership or granting broad mutation access

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #13314
Refs: #13574

**What happened?**

A native child run could report `needs_review` for an agent reviewer.
The reviewer wake then failed assignee and execution-lock checks. The
child remained in review and the parent remained waiting.

**Expected behavior**

The named reviewer should receive one durable wake. The reviewer should
inspect the child and resolve the exact review card. The child assignee
should stay unchanged. The parent should receive the recorded review
outcome after the child reaches its terminal state.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run a native task with a different named agent reviewer.
2. Keep the child assigned to its original worker.
3. Let the worker finish with a native completion review request.
4. Start the durable reviewer wake.
5. Resolve the review and finish the reviewer run.
6. Observe the child and parent state.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Base: `e926b1301`. PR head: `b31ad9ab8`. Live reviewer verification
source: `eea171aae`.

**Deployment mode**

Built from source.

**Installation method**

Built from source (pnpm build).

**Agent adapter(s) involved**

Not adapter-specific (core bug).

**Access context**

Both.

**Database mode**

Embedded PostgreSQL in the isolated live test fixtures.

## What Changed

- Add server-validated native review assignment facts.
- Admit only the exact company, issue, source run, decision, revision,
addressee, and resolver policy.
- Give reviewer runs a narrow set of Paperclip read and resolve tools.
File and shell access follow the configured agent and environment
policy, so reviewers can run tests.
- Separate server-owned reviewer instructions from untrusted persisted
review data. Escape the data boundary; retain server-enforced
authorization.
- Keep the child assignee unchanged. Atomically claim the reviewer run,
wake request, and issue execution lock. A competing lock prevents
provider startup.
- Require the exact running reviewer session and current issue lock to
resolve its assigned card. Reject missing, unrelated, or terminal
reviewer runs.
- Add durable reviewer wake, lock, stale-card, and abandoned-run
recovery handling.
- Prevent duplicate native wake dispatches during deferred admission and
recovery.
- Carry accepted or rejected child review outcomes into parent task
context and continuation evidence.
- Add focused server, runner, and native protocol coverage.
- Preserve upstream continuation rules. Add child review decisions as
separate evidence, while keeping real human answers in their own field.
- Return actionable completion validation feedback to both providers.
Permit a corrected completion after rejection. Keep strict terminal
acknowledgment validation.
- Apply exclusive shared-workspace locks to sandbox environments. Local
and SSH folders can run concurrently, including when old settings
request serialization.
- Repair test timing, native event parsing, and the review artifact
assertion. Allow a valid reject, correct, and accept review sequence.
Check the accepted card against its reviewer run and decision. Keep
polling within the existing deadline when review acceptance precedes the
parent wake projection; report a specific missing-continuation error at
timeout.
- Apply the ACPX pending-call limit to reserved finish/block calls, with
capacity-release and cancellation tests.

## Verification

- `pnpm build`: passed on `eea171aae`.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed on `eea171aae`.
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:unit`: 359 tests passed in 30 files on
`b31ad9ab8`; runner E2E typecheck also passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates`: passed.
- Focused DB review, reviewer authority, and prompt-boundary checks: 31
tests passed. They cover invalid reviewer runs, competing locks, atomic
admission, duplicate claims, and valid resolution.
- Heartbeat, workspace, and recovery checks: 30 tests passed.
- ACPX sidecar suite: 27 tests passed. Moving the capacity guard back
below reserved handling makes both new regression cases fail.
- Four focused live continuation checks passed on their first attempt at
`f15f55e0a`: answer updates scope (6/6 each on Codex and Claude) and
question tool guidance (12/12 each). These cases do not use the reviewer
prompt path changed afterward.
- Fresh Codex and Claude review-handoff checks passed all 29 native
checks each on their first attempt at `eea171aae`. Both runs received
the expected fixed prompt and completed cleanup. Only the six selected
live flows were tested; no full paid provider catalog run.
- The final commit only extracts the existing test-harness timeout
diagnostic into a shared helper and adds positive and negative coverage.
Removing the accepted-review guard makes two regression assertions fail;
restoring it passes all six timeout tests. Production runtime code,
prompts, deadlines, and grading criteria are unchanged by this final
commit.
- Deadline regressions: a valid continuation delayed 20 seconds succeeds
within its 30-second unit-test deadline; an absent wake returns a
specific candidate-failure diagnostic at that same deadline. Both
assertions failed before the fix. Production E2E deadlines remain
unchanged.
- Historical native failures remain recorded: Docker availability
failures; a valid reject/correct/accept sequence that the first-card
grader misread; and a test that rejected the gap between accepted child
review and parent wake projection. No failed result was regraded. The
latest tests use a protected reference to the pinned Docker image and
the unchanged artifact oracle and time limits.
- Full repository verification runs in GitHub CI. Local verification
uses the focused suites above, full build, and full typecheck. An
unchanged Codex shutdown timing test failed once in CI, passed in
isolation, and its full shard passed on the final commit without changes
to that test or its causal code path. The original failure is retained
in the verification record. Greptile reviewed `b31ad9ab8` at 5/5 with no
outstanding actionable findings. All review threads are resolved. All
current-head CI gates passed, including the isolated native runner
Docker build (55 successful checks; two skipped by the workflow).

## Risks

- Reviewer admission depends on exact persisted decision and interaction
bindings. A stale or changed card is rejected.
- Paperclip control-plane tools are limited to inspection and review
resolution. This is not a filesystem permission boundary; provider file
and shell access retain the configured policy.
- Deferred wake recovery changes dispatch receipt coalescing. A
scheduler regression could delay a continuation if the receipt state is
wrong.
- Parent review outcomes are evidence for the model. They do not grant
tool authority or change issue ownership.
- This change does not address legacy lease-hold handoff behavior.

> Roadmap review: native execution, review gates, and durable recovery
are existing roadmap capabilities. This PR completes a narrow
reliability path for those capabilities.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6-astra` with reasoning, tool use, and code execution.
OpenAI `gpt-5.6-luna` assisted with bounded implementation, review, and
journal work. Context window size is not exposed by this session. Live
test subjects use `gpt-5.6-sol` and `claude-sonnet-5`; they are not the
PR authors.
