DottaandPaperclip 3910352c92 feat(runner): add experimental Cursor Cloud provider (#18068)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Runner gives each provider durable execution, tool, and completion
contracts.
> - Cursor Cloud currently has a direct adapter outside that native
contract.
> - Cloud work needs exact ownership across HTTP, SSE, Stop, and
recovery.
> - This PR adds a qualified Cloud API driver and verified proxy to
Runner.
> - Product setup and hosted placement remain separate dependent
changes.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #5664, #11803, #17299, and #17471. Product integration is #18069.
Managed-only API placement is #18310. The related direct-adapter
model/transcript work is not replaced. No duplicate native Cursor Cloud
integration was found.

## What Changed

- Add native `cursor_cloud` / `cursor_cloud_api` with explicit
model/repository validation, bounded HTTP/SSE, durable per-turn
checkpoints and a qualified Node proxy launched through the Rust facade.
- Commit terminal custody before publication/release; coalesce
consumers, preserve ambiguous create/Stop/recovery fences, reject late
tools, and distinguish definitely-unsent oversized requests from
ambiguous responses.
- Support scoped cold attachment, current authority, reconnect and
verified artifact staging. Keep unsupported warm/external and Windows
paths closed.
- Preserve early source cursors and verify immutable legacy prefixes
before suffix replay, including supported compaction/masking. Optional
proof publication failure falls back to complete cold verification.
- Preserve canonical records at the durable native producer with
JSON-safe privacy and the existing 8MiB bound; drain admitted successor
flushes. Reconcile upstream semantic/pack/schema/lifecycle changes and
retain S3 and legacy CLI checks.

## Verification

Core head `37c442ec8dd4`: all 66 check contexts are terminal
successful/neutral/skipped, including required `ci / verify` and `ci /
e2e`; fresh exact-head Greptile is 5/5 with zero unresolved threads.
Dependent Product `81e828d20a77` and Top `dd2959689627` include the
later client handoff correction and are running their own fresh gates.

Core: 47/47 Rust, 4/4 compiled-native retirement, 19/19 settlement and
normal Runner build passed. Runtime Top `9af1a5de42a2`: build and
recursive typecheck passed. Earlier source-scoped evidence includes 398
focused tests, five relay tests and token/type gates. The 251-assertion,
7/8-suite run failed physical PostgreSQL teardown; the unchanged stable
WSP suite passed 128 through the documented wrapper.

The downstream fixture corrections passed 7/7 browser and 121/121
startup tests without timeout/oracle relaxation; a broken-unsubscribe
control fails. Hosted runtime `9af1a5de42a2` has a passing normal build
and recursive typecheck. Latest dependent heads additionally contain a
pure client fix for stale live/history overlap, with 48 focused tests,
UI typecheck and token gates passing. Its new client is not deployed in
the frozen hosted image; server/native/API/provider source is unchanged
by these four downstream files.

Fresh hosted Linux admission on `9af1a5de42a2` retired its owned
runner/proxy/socket with zero prompts. The saved configuration survived
reopening, and Test authenticated the bound key/catalog/selected model
without a prompt. Artifact with `claude-sonnet-4-5` completed,
downloaded the exact 27 bytes, matched 121 canonical identities against
complete logs and independently reached FINISHED. The active Stop retry
was clicked within its immutable boundary, produced one canonical
interrupted turn and acknowledged run-only cancellation, retained a
valid 35.076s quiet window (maximum gap 4.584s), and independently
remained CANCELLED/artifact-absent beyond the original 180-second
command deadline. All provider-observer credential callbacks, DB clients
and loaders closed; accounting is settled and explicitly unpriced. The
first fresh Stop retains its failed 10.373s sampling gap and every
sample.

On the upgraded9af server, the historical F226 artifact was reopened and
downloaded with its exact original hash after its provider agent had
been deleted/GET404 earlier today. Historical F226 full Artifact/Stop
cleanup, Question, corrected Plan and reconnect retain their original
identities. Deleting the three newly created disposable provider agents
and the new-case post-delete grade remain blocked on explicit user
approval after automatic review rejected expanding the two original
approved IDs. No new-case cleanup or complete fresh matrix pass is
claimed; this is separate from the directly observed task/Stop behavior
and retained exact cleanup proof.

Retained failures: stale fixture 132/133; E8 48/135 with 87 reset-hook
failures; Mac 17 SQL failures/skips; earlier startup-title, title-save,
custody/Stop and deletion failures with unknown causes and bounded
recoveries. `dea023` Artifact passed 17 checks but Stop failed its false
warning and 50 duplicate log identities. Pre-repair ACK failure and
original Core CI failure remain recorded; retry alone establishes no
cause or full local-suite pass. Provider dollar cost stays UNKNOWN.

## Risks

Experimental: Cursor independently acknowledges neither the effective
model nor instruction digest before the first prompt. The caller’s
explicit values are submitted and behavior checked live. Unpriced
provider dollar cost stays UNKNOWN.

Only qualified per-turn controllers are admitted. Uncertain work and
incomplete cleanup stay fenced. Existing damaged/duplicate archives
remain failed evidence. Prefix proof adds bounded object-store I/O; the
8MiB producer bound does not guarantee future providers’ output fits.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, assisted with reasoning, repository tools,
code execution, browser verification, and delegated code review. The
serving model’s exact API ID and context window are not exposed. No
value is inferred from the model catalog.

DottaandPaperclip 2b14ec03a4 fix(ai-connections): remove account execution locks (#18778)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and the accounts that supply their model
credentials.
> - Several runs can use the same AI connection at the same time.
> - Runtime preparation treated unfinished credential cleanup as
exclusive account ownership.
> - Manual account tests also held a company credential mutex for the
entire provider test.
> - A failed cleanup could therefore cancel fresh runs before the
provider started and keep them in automatic retries.
> - This pull request removes that execution gate and those read and
probe locks.
> - Each invocation keeps its own credential home. Credential updates
still use the existing freshness and authorization checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Fresh runs stopped with `ai_connection_busy` and the message “The
selected AI account is still completing credential cleanup. Retry
shortly.” Pending cleanup from an earlier invocation blocked every new
invocation of that account. Concurrent manual account tests also waited
on a company mutex.

**Expected behavior**

AI connections support concurrent runs and account tests. Cleanup for
one private runtime must not prevent another private runtime from using
the same account.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Prepare a managed OpenAI account and retain an earlier runtime whose
cleanup has not finished.
2. Prepare another run with that account. The old implementation rejects
it before provider work starts.
3. Alternatively, keep one manual account test open and start a second
test with the same account. The old implementation prevents the second
provider callback from starting.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced with two PostgreSQL regressions on
`17e8bd773543d62ab3f444c55255acfd82575efd`. Both fail before the fix and
pass after it.

**Deployment mode**

The reported deployment used authenticated Cloud. Local reproduction
uses disposable PostgreSQL and fixture credentials. No live provider
credentials are required for these regressions.

Related search found #15952, which concerns account removal and provider
application archival. It does not remove this runtime cleanup gate. This
fix does not introduce the account concurrency cap requested in #14564.
ROADMAP.md was checked; this change restores concurrent account use.

## What Changed

- Remove the account-wide cleanup assertion and cleanup mutex from run
admission.
- Read ordinary subscription credentials without acquiring the company
file mutex or grant and secret write locks. Only an actual durable
replacement recovery enters the existing write transaction.
- Remove the mutex held across manual account tests.
- Retry retained cleanup without making new runtime preparation wait for
it. A home-specific cleanup check considers only that exact private
home.
- Keep cleanup attempts for one runtime idempotent. Keep physical
retirement, credential freshness, reconnect, revocation and company
checks.
- Update concurrency, refresh and cleanup regressions, and the
implementation contract.

## Verification

- Before/after: the pending-cleanup and simultaneous-probe regressions
both fail on the original code and pass with the fix.
- Affected suites: 186 tests passed across `ai-connections.test.ts`,
`antigravity-ai-connections.integration.test.ts`, and
`retained-google-credential-cleanup.test.ts`. They use real PostgreSQL,
encrypted fixture credentials and controlled provider callbacks.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed.
- `node scripts/check-maps.mjs` and `git diff --check` passed.
- `pnpm build` passed on the rebased branch. The server typecheck and
production server build both passed again on final commit
`03bd3973bdf85108bbd82355abdb217f0e1c83bd` after the runtime-home
ownership changes.
- Caller coverage: all 166 cases pass across native credential handoff,
managed Google subscription writeback, model discovery, heartbeat
configuration and hired-agent execution. The full hiring file passed all
79 cases after its admission assertion was corrected. Together with the
affected suites, 352 targeted cases pass.
- The final home-binding check passed all 188 cases across the account,
managed Google writeback, model discovery and retained-cleanup suites.
- Review follow-up: two real-PostgreSQL cases pass for quota refresh and
concurrent Google account tests. The quota case observes a credential
row update in progress, verifies that the runtime takes no account file
mutex, and confirms that the private home receives the committed
replacement token. The Google case completes a second provider callback
while the first callback remains open in a separate private home.
- Greptile rated the runtime change 4/5 and found only misplaced map
patch notes. Those additions were removed. The implementation
documentation remains in `doc/connections/AI-CONNECTIONS.md` and the
implementation contract.
- `pnpm test:run` was attempted. Chat partition 1 passed 351 expanded
cases. Partition 2 passed 324 cases and failed one Teams file-receipt
API case at its 15-second deadline: `refuses generic resolution with
stale version transfer preconditions without changing receipts`. That
case exercises publication resolution, not AI account execution. Its
isolated rerun passed. The remaining local partitions did not run after
that failure. This is not a claim that the full local suite passed.
- Wider caller checks initially identified old serialization
expectations and two cleanup retry cases. Updated assertions now require
concurrent account use. The partial-removal correction lets a retained
home finish removal after a durable credential handoff. All affected
caller cases pass, including the full hiring file.
- Live provider concurrency and deployment recovery have not been
qualified. This PR does not claim that the reported Cloud deployment
contains the fix.

## Risks

- A new invocation can use the currently saved credential while another
runtime still owns a refreshed copy. The existing writeback checks
decide which credential can replace the saved value.
- Actual credential updates and durable replacement recovery retain
atomic storage transactions. This change removes execution
serialization, not the integrity checks on stored credentials.
- Unfinished cleanup retains its private home and its existing idle
hold. This change does not certify a previous provider process as
stopped.
- There is no database migration, credential format change, permission
expansion or ambient-account fallback.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex desktop, with source editing, shell
execution, PostgreSQL fixture tests and read-only browser diagnosis. The
session does not expose the exact deployment ID or context-window size.

17e8bd7735 fix(runner): save native checkpoints when the sandbox disk is full (#18705)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs on a remote sandbox save two things after each turn: the
provider checkpoint and the workspace export
> - An agent can fill the sandbox disk during its own work, for example
with a package install
> - The turn still finishes, but both saves need free sandbox disk, so
they fail and the task becomes blocked with no clear reason
> - This pull request makes the checkpoint work on a full disk and makes
a full disk visible in the export failure
> - The benefit is fewer stranded checkpoints, and an operator sees at
once why an export failed

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #18715 added the shared-principal response-recovery control
synchronized below. #18644 reduced the scratch disk that the workspace
capture uses. #18172 added the disk-free streaming fallback to the
Daytona directory sync-out. Both were deployed when this failure
occurred. Neither changes the checkpoint copy, and neither can help when
the disk has no free space.

**What happened?**

A native agent ran a package install for a large monorepo in a 10 GB
Daytona sandbox. `df` in the run showed `10G 10G 4.6M 100%`. The agent
committed its work and reported `done`. Then:

1. The provider checkpoint made a filtered copy of the provider
directory inside the sandbox (`tar -cf archive; tar -xf archive -C
snapshot`) to apply its exclusions. On the full disk, tar failed. The
run recorded `runner_remote_checkpoint_snapshot_failed` without the
reason, and the partial copy stayed on the disk.
2. Workspace finalization failed three times, and file preservation
failed six times. The capture builds its archive inside the sandbox, so
each attempt failed. Every failure was recorded as
`remote_workspace_operation_failed` / `export_interrupted`, so nothing
named the full disk.
3. The task went to `blocked`. The only copy of the commit was in the
retained sandbox.

**Expected behavior**

The checkpoint does not need free sandbox disk when the provider can
stream. A workspace export that cannot fit says that the sandbox disk is
full.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run a native agent with a provider whose checkpoint has exclusions
(for example ACPX) in a small remote sandbox.
2. In the turn, fill the sandbox disk (for example `pnpm install` of a
large repository, or `fallocate` of the free space) and finish the task.
3. The checkpoint fails with `runner_remote_checkpoint_snapshot_failed`,
and every workspace export attempt fails with a generic code.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Observed on `410b0e27015`. This change is based on `5955dd4eb4c`.

## What Changed

- Synchronize the shared-principal response-recovery regression with its
saved comments and empty final deadline. Cover an in-flight discovery
invalidation. Keep every authority lock, exact publication, error, and
no-retry assertion. This changes test synchronization only.

- `syncRemoteRunnerDirectoryOut`: when the in-sandbox checkpoint copy
fails with a full-disk tar diagnostic, remove the partial copy and pass
the exclusions to the provider sync-out (`exclude` on the directory
mapping). The Daytona sync-out streams the directory without sandbox
disk when it cannot write its archive. Other copy failures and timeouts
still throw `runner_remote_checkpoint_snapshot_failed`. They now also
remove the partial copy.
- `remote-workspace-transport.ts`: the helper install and the capture
scripts report `remote_workspace_sandbox_disk_full: ...` when Node
reports `ENOSPC` or `EDQUOT`, or a Git or tar child reports "No space
left on device". `command()` passes only that exact message through,
like the existing unfinished-Git-operation message.
- `native-workspace-finalizer.ts`: a remote save that fails with that
message adds it to the failed operation's stderr. The failure code, the
retry budget, and the recovery flow do not change.

## Verification

- Current-head infrastructure interruption: the [Build
job](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41637668555/job/125923826158)
completed the actual build and production bundle boot, then the runner
received a shutdown signal during the clean public Grok npm-install
check. GitHub marked that step cancelled. The exact host-stop cause was
not retained. One bounded rerun of only the failed Build and dependent
`ci / verify` jobs passed on the unchanged head. [Build attempt
2](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41637668555/job/125931400745)
completed successfully, including the clean Grok npm-install check. No
product code, assertion or workflow changed for this interruption.

- CI failure retained: commit `6c5937fcae` failed [chat shard
1/3](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41634638570/job/125913957217)
because the shared-principal fixture saw zero saved comments after
`worker.ready` and zero active work. The other chat child passed. The
exact case passed once locally and then 30 times on the same Node
24.22.2 version as CI; those passes alone do not explain the CI
interleaving.
- Controlled RED/GREEN: invalidate the real database discovery once
while its read is in flight. The worker correctly retains a future
reconstruction deadline, but the old initial-pass/active-count barrier
reproduces the same zero-versus-one comment assertion. Waiting for both
saved comments and final `active=0`/`nextWakeAt=null` passes. Six
real-PostgreSQL controls pass on final commit `a60e5629e8`, including
endpoint independence, source revocation, and external lock
failure/recovery. No sleep, timeout increase, weakened assertion, or
product scheduling/authorization change was added.
- A local server typecheck first lacked the checkout's built Runner
declarations. After the declared Runner TypeScript build, the server
typecheck passes on `a60e5629e8`. Final-head remote verification is
complete: 54 successful checks, 3 expected skips, no failures or pending
checks, and successful `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e` aggregates. Greptile
is 5/5 on this exact commit with no unresolved review threads.

- Merge preparation: rebased onto master `b22ef22d56` and kept both
test-import additions. Added the checkpoint fallback and
capacity-failure contract to `doc/execution-semantics.md`. On rebased
commit `6c5937fcae`, 47 focused checkpoint, transport, finalization and
retained warm-projection tests passed across three files. The name
filter skipped 1,040 unrelated cases. Map and whitespace checks passed.
The final-head CI and Greptile results are recorded above.

- `npx vitest run
server/src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts
server/src/services/native-runtime/native-workspace-finalizer.test.ts
server/src/services/remote-workspace-snapshot-archive.test.ts` passes
(1,152 tests).
- `npx vitest run server/src/services/remote-workspace-transport.test.ts
server/src/services/native-runtime/native-workspace-finalizer-failure.test.ts`
passes (30 tests).
- New tests:
- Checkpoint, with real files: a full-disk snapshot leaves a partial
copy. The provider then gets the exclusions, the session files are kept,
the package caches are left out, and the partial copy is removed.
- Checkpoint: a permission failure and a timeout still fail, remove the
partial copy, and do not call the sync-out.
- Transport: the real capture scripts run with an `ENOSPC` preload, for
the helper install and for the archive write. Both report the full-disk
message and leave no partial attempt. A message with extra text still
collapses to `remote_workspace_operation_failed`.
- Finalizer: the operation stderr names the full disk and keeps
`workspace_sync_out_failed`. Other failures keep the bare code.
- With the source change removed, the 3 checkpoint cases and the 2
transport ENOSPC cases fail.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json` is clean.
- Suites that refer to the changed error codes
(`explicit-native-continuation`, `native-recovery-notice-work`,
`native-run-finalizer-telemetry`, `native-workspace-export-retry`,
`remote-workspaces.integration`) pass. In `chat-channels.integration`, 2
cases fail locally on unmodified `master` too (a bundled skill path
outside the checkout, and a chat run timing assertion). They are not
related to this change.
- Manual recovery of the observed task: the retained sandbox was resumed
with free space, file preservation was requested again, and the saved
workspace contained the agent's commit.

## Risks

- The fallback runs only after the snapshot fails with a full-disk
diagnostic. The normal path does not change.
- Provider exclusions are not anchored to the directory root. In the
fallback, a nested entry that has an excluded name (for example a nested
`tmp` or `config.toml` in a Codex home) is also left out. The fallback
never copies more than the snapshot, so credentials stay out of the
checkpoint.
- The fallback depends on the provider honoring `exclude`, which the
sync protocol requires. The Daytona and Kubernetes providers honor it.
- A workspace export on a full disk still fails. This change only names
the cause. A full fix needs one of these: free-space reserve for the
export, removal of re-creatable caches before the export, or a capture
that streams its archive. Each of these changes behavior, so this pull
request does not include one.
- No migration.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, assisted with merge preparation, conflict
resolution, documentation, test synchronization and verification. The
harness does not expose the exact serving model ID or context-window
size.

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, in Claude Code with
tool use (shell, file edits, test runs). It did the root-cause analysis
from run events, tool output, and sandbox inspection, wrote the code and
tests, and ran local verification.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

**Paperclip version or commit**

Source checkout based on `f8a888a072`.

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 718336eb04 fix(native): refresh prior warm controller projections (#18718)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native remote sessions keep their controller state in a database
checkpoint.
> - An admission can also leave a full local copy of a prior run's
state.
> - The prior owner can commit more state without changing its run ID.
> - Warm admission skipped a refresh when the local and saved run IDs
matched.
> - This pull request refreshes that prior-run copy when no retained
warm owner exists.
> - The next turn can use the committed state while existing ownership
checks remain effective.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A prior warm run can complete after an earlier admission reads its
controller checkpoint. The local copy can still contain a pending
command or lack the final terminal event. A later admission sees the
same run ID and skips restoration. It can then hold work against that
old copy even though the database checkpoint has settled.

**Expected behavior**

Read the canonical prior-run checkpoint before reuse when no retained
in-memory owner exists. Keep current-run state with its controller. Keep
unresolved canonical work and invalid checkpoint bindings blocked.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a full prior-run local projection while a command is pending.
2. Complete that command and record the terminal in the canonical
checkpoint under the same run ID.
3. Start an ordinary remote warm continuation without a retained
in-memory owner.
4. Before this change, the local command remains pending. With this
change, the completed command and terminal replace the stale copy.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on master `36df8933f0` before changing production code.

Related work: #18018 restored per-turn checkpoints; #18343 added
controller replacement recovery; #18554 restored missing remote
suspension receipts. This change handles a full prior-run projection
whose run ID already matches the saved supervisor. It does not change
the settlement guard or MCP compatibility policy.

## What Changed

- Refresh a prior-run warm controller projection even when its run ID
has not changed.
- Keep current-run and retained warm owner authority on the existing
path.
- Add five executor cases for a settled source, a pending canonical
command, a current run, legacy file-backed state, and an invalid
checkpoint binding.
- Add an opt-in Linux continuity case with a stale full local projection
and two follow-up turns.
- Update execution documentation and the paired session verification
recipes.

## Verification

- RED before the production edit: the executor fixture retained
`pending` in its local command record when the canonical record was
`completed`.
- GREEN on the final commit: 48 focused tests passed across executor
restoration, retained warm owner rotation, per-turn restoration, and
remote settlement guards.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` passed. The server
TypeScript check also passed after the integration fixture was added.
- `node scripts/check-maps.mjs` and `git diff --check` passed.
- The unit fixture uses the real durable controller serializer and the
real executor entry. It stops at current tool authority before
provider/backend creation. It proves restoration and guard behavior, not
full task acceptance.
- Actual protocol RED/GREEN: the same opt-in continuity fixture uses
real PostgreSQL, TLS, the current Linux Rust Runner, and a deterministic
fake Codex backend. With only the executor restored to its parent
revision, continuation fails with
`prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate` in the settlement guard after
one provider turn (20.16 seconds). The PR source completes all three
turns with one provider thread and final suspension (34.77 seconds).
Hard recovery permits one provider-process replacement; the healthy
final follow-up starts no additional process. Both runs use the same
Runner binary and owned container.
- The exact PR executor source was restored after the baseline
comparison, its Git blob was verified, and the worktree is clean. The
disposable local container was removed. This fixture proves the
controlled stale-projection recovery path; it does not establish a live
model or Daytona API result.
- Full current-head CI passes, including typecheck, build, general and
serialized tests, Rust/Runner checks, all eight E2E shards, and the `ci
/ e2e` and `ci / verify` aggregate gates. Greptile is 5/5 on the current
commit, with no unresolved review threads. No original task was retried
and no staging sandbox lifecycle was changed.

## Risks

- Admission without a retained owner performs one additional scoped
checkpoint read when a full prior-run projection already exists.
- The canonical checkpoint must still pass its company, task, session
and record validation. A pending canonical command stays held.
Current-run and retained owner state are not replaced.
- The regression proves a stale local projection defect. It does not
establish that a historical incident had those same local bytes.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The harness does not expose the exact
serving model ID or context-window size. Capabilities: repository
inspection, code generation, tools, and test execution.

DottaandPaperclip db8a273562 fix(native): publish fresh retry sessions for later turns (#18713)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native tasks save a provider session for later comments and monitor
checks.
> - The goal projection also records the run that owns the session event
sequence.
> - A fresh retry uses a new native session, but the projection accepted
only the old session.
> - The accepted checkpoint then rejected session publication because
the goal source still named the old run.
> - This pull request lets the current task executor advance that source
after a terminal predecessor with no unfinished goal.
> - Later turns can then use the fresh retry's saved session.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #12669, #18343. I searched open and closed PRs for source
epochs and native task-session publication. I found no duplicate repair.

**What happened?**

A successful fresh native retry could retain its predecessor's
task-session pointer. A later comment or monitor selected the old
provider session. The goal source transition required both runs to have
the same native session. The terminal checkpoint then saved a
`suppressed_newer` publication result.

**Expected behavior**

The current task executor can publish its accepted fresh session. A
later turn resumes that session. Delayed events cannot restore the old
source or revive a cleared goal.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Complete a native turn and retain its task-session row.
2. Admit a fresh session on the same task without deleting the row.
3. Complete that turn, then send an ordinary follow-up.
4. Before this change, the saved pointer can still name the first
session.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on source commit `36df8933f0` with a PostgreSQL regression
before the production change.

**Deployment mode**

Source checkout. The affected producer runs for local and remote native
sessions.

## What Changed

- Permit a different native session to advance the goal source only when
its run holds the task execution lock and assignee, and the task is in
progress.
- Keep the terminal predecessor, native runtime, runner identity, absent
or completed goal, source sequence, and conversation reset checks.
- Test accepted session publication, a fresh heartbeat followed by an
ordinary resumed turn, stale events, current-owner loss, and unfinished
or unreadable goals.
- Add an opt-in live Codex file-persistence check. Update execution
documentation and both recovery maps.

## Verification

- Red: the new PostgreSQL publication regression failed before the
producer change. The saved session, display ID and goal source still
named the predecessor.
- Green: 72 distinct tests passed across the final focused runs of
`runner-goals.test.ts`, `native-task-session-publication.test.ts`,
`native-session-resumption.test.ts`, and
`remote-warm-session-recovery.test.ts`.
- The assembled heartbeat test admits three turns, opens two provider
sessions, resumes the second session once, and stores three results. It
uses a deterministic provider backend.
- `node scripts/check-maps.mjs` and `git diff --check` passed.
- Real local Codex acceptance passed on macOS arm64 with `gpt-6.1-sol`
and explicit warm mode. Three heartbeat turns saved three exact file
lines. The fresh second turn published its new normalized and provider
session IDs. The ordinary third turn retained both IDs. The fixture
closed its warm owners and removed its private credential copy and
workspace. The production code was at `450e15e`; the final test-only
commit selects explicit warm mode and uses the existing owned-home
cleanup helper. The production change is identical in the final head.
- The earlier per-turn fixture preserved all three file steps and
selected the correct normalized session, but provider-thread reuse
failed. `run.attach` reported that the Codex provider had pending
events; the safe fallback used another provider thread. This remains a
separate failure. The first fixture cleanup also failed on immutable
instruction assets. The owned-home helper fixed cleanup, and the second
per-turn attempt exposed the provider identity assertion directly.
- Full current-head CI passes, including typecheck, build, general and
serialized tests, Rust/Runner checks, all eight E2E shards, and the `ci
/ e2e` and `ci / verify` aggregate gates. Greptile is 5/5 on the current
commit, with no unresolved review threads. Broad local workspace checks
were not duplicated; the focused regressions and actual provider
acceptance above were run locally. No merge, deployment, or recovery of
an original task is included.

## Risks

- Source epoch changes affect saved goal state. The fresh-session path
requires current task authority and refuses unfinished or unreadable
saved goals.
- The change starts no provider work and changes no prior-owner recovery
guard. Unknown external outcomes retain their reconciliation hold.
- A prior session remains held when it lacks the required authority or
state proof.
- Per-turn provider-thread reuse remains an open coverage gap described
above. This change does not alter that attachment guard.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The exact model ID and context window are
unavailable in this session. The agent used code inspection, tools, and
executable tests.

DottaandPaperclip bf7f77d8cd fix: avoid response recovery self-contention (#18715)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The server must present accepted agent responses as comments under
current chat authority.
> - The recovery worker can check four tasks at the same time.
> - Different tasks can share a chat endpoint or external principal.
Their authorization transactions then compete for endpoint or identity
locks.
> - A failed transaction leaves the accepted response pending and
repeats its source queries on a later retry.
> - This pull request groups checks that share a task, endpoint or
principal before dispatch. It keeps every transactional authority check
and lock.
> - The benefit is less failed recovery work and prompt, exactly-once
presentation of valid accepted responses.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17714 for a separate publication-commit lock-order fix. Refs
#18686 for separate run-list JSON work. Neither changes this recovery
admission path.

**What happened?**

A response-presentation worker reported `could not obtain lock on row in
relation "chat_endpoints"`. Four real PostgreSQL recovery fixtures
reproduced three such failures in one pass with no external ingress. The
worker grouped by task, while authorization locks shared endpoints and
principals. Review also exposed two valid Slack endpoints in one
workspace that share one principal and compete for its try-advisory
lock.

**Expected behavior**

Recovery checks that share an endpoint or principal should retain task
order without competing with one another. Unrelated endpoints should
make progress. The server must still reject stale authority and retry
legitimate external contention.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the shared-endpoint regression or the portable comparison helper
linked below. The fixture creates four accepted historical responses for
distinct tasks and principals on one actual endpoint.

## What Changed

- Read optional endpoint and principal scheduling hints through a
company-scoped join to the canonical wake action. The join does not
change eligibility or grant authority.
- Extend existing bounded check groups to merge intersecting resource
keys. Preserve task order, transitive conflicts, independent-group
progress, shutdown, drain and pending scopes.
- Add real PostgreSQL controls for shared endpoints, a principal shared
across two endpoints, an observed blocked transaction with independent
endpoint progress, external locks, exact selected output, and endpoint
revocation despite a forged hint.
- Add a portable helper that materializes the pinned baseline with `git
show`, runs the existing real fixture, retains results, and restores
temporary files.

## Verification

- Final principal-extension head
`57047441b28765ed1cf49b8924efc69f5c03dcb4`: 34 focused scheduler/chat
controls passed on Node 24.22.2 / pnpm 9.15.4. Independent exact-head
source review is green. Full local `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build`
pass on this head. Fresh Greptile and Paperclip reviews are both 5/5
with no findings. All 59 final-head contexts are complete: 55 success, 3
skipped, and the neutral Paperclip review at 5/5. There are no failures
or pending checks.
- Earlier endpoint-only head `eea437e7edbe7eb41eb880d4d8fd6d99a9c247da`:
full local typecheck/build and all remote CI passed. The redundant local
full suite was interrupted for this review fix after 956 passing chat
cases; it is not a full local pass.
- Final shared-principal counts-only comparison completed the same two
exact responses: product calls 165 → 147, rows 114 → 100, outer
contention failures 1 → 0. SQL query errors stayed zero; advisory-lock
refusal is not a failed SQL query.
- The earlier endpoint-only study completed five alternating pairs / ten
measured runs: median calls 443 → 293, rows 314 → 200, query errors 6 →
0 for four exact responses. Its instrumented shared-host CPU data
predates the principal extension and is not a final-head or hosted CPU
claim. Retry clocks were accelerated; wall time is not hosted latency.
- [Raw samples, final principal work counts, portable commands and
failure
accounting](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/57047441b28765ed1cf49b8924efc69f5c03dcb4/doc/performance/2026-11-03-response-presentation-contention.md).
- Initial server4 CI reported three provider calls instead of two in the
unchanged Anthropic identity fixture. The exact local case passed; the
full 88-case file passed with observations showing the two expected
identity-route calls. The third CI call's origin remains unknown. One
bounded rerun of the failed job and its dependent CI aggregate passed.
No assertion or source change was made for that failure.
- The causal benchmark baseline worker/query is
`82c033ed127d07862e6765aa4b69a3cf339bde81`. The PR base is `36df8933f0`.
They are not claims about the currently serving revision.

## Risks

- Connected resource groups can reduce parallelism when tasks link
several endpoints. This preserves the existing task ordering contract.
- Missing or stale endpoint/principal hints retain current transactional
checks. Other workers and ingress can still cause legitimate NOWAIT
retries.
- There is no schema, API, permission or provider-transport change.
Endpoint revocation and company isolation remain enforced by their
existing owners.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol (`gpt-6.1-sol`), with tool use and code execution,
produced and reviewed this change. The runtime does not expose the
context-window size.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 6d72243d8a fix(runtime): recover task creation after a lost acquire reply (#18692)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent execution and the resources that execution
owns.
> - A retained environment task can need a replacement before the next
turn.
> - Core records the creation attempt before it asks the provider to
acquire it.
> - A lost reply can leave that journal without the resource ID needed
for cleanup.
> - This change lets an opted-in provider recover the identity from that
recorded attempt.
> - Core still requires the existing exact-task termination proof before
it releases ownership.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18405 and #18658. This is the separate lost-reply follow-up from
their recovery audit.

**Draft status:** Both prior review findings are fixed in
`a66520c8d4e06e0eec6ccb5446190ace0ca3003f`. Fresh standard Greptile is
5/5 with no unresolved threads. Current-head CI is green (53 successful
checks/statuses including Snyk, three expected skips). Apex completed
5/5 on this exact head at 2026-11-03T00:54:59Z (request 6592407130),
with no unresolved threads. The review cycle is complete; the PR remains
draft for human merge review.

**What happened?**

If a replacement task's acquire reply is never received, the creation
journal can reach manual reconciliation without a resource ID. Startup
cleanup cannot complete, and ordinary Stop cannot release the run owner.

**Expected behavior**

When the selected provider supports creation inspection, Core should
retain enough binding information to inspect the recorded attempt and
continue verified cleanup. An inspected identity must not count as
termination proof.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Use a retained task whose provider supports creation inspection.
2. Lose the replacement acquire reply before Core records its resource
ID.
3. Restart cleanup and inspect the existing creation journal.
4. Confirm that the exact task is stopped and its termination receipt is
saved before cancellation releases the owner.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Current head `a66520c8d4e06e0eec6ccb5446190ace0ca3003f`, based on master
`3a7bb4dac62dbd7a34a55deb665c55df310bdf64`. Tested with isolated
PostgreSQL fixtures.

**Deployment mode**

Local source tests with controlled provider responses. No deployment or
live model request.

## What Changed

- Save the selected inspection capability and prior opaque binding in
the existing creation journal. Acquire through that same worker so a
worker replacement cannot change the recorded contract.
- Make failed opted-in creations due through the existing cleanup
notification and saved retry deadline.
- Add optional SDK observation field `creationLease`. Use it only to
recover the requested creation's identity and binding, then follow the
existing Stop, status, completion and receipt checks.
- Keep old entries and providers without the recorded opt-in under their
existing reconciliation policy.
- Add actual PostgreSQL recovery, cancellation and worker-replacement
regressions. Document the provider contract.

## Verification

- Current correction: 53 distinct targeted cases pass (20 real-worker
IPC, 12 task-recovery PostgreSQL and 21 generic-sandbox cases), with
server typechecking. The IPC selection was rerun after the final
late-observation ordering refinement; the other tested sources were
unchanged.
- An assembled live-child IPC and PostgreSQL case proves cleanup and
cancellation release the owner despite the original worker never
replying and remaining alive. Accepted host work, unrelated acquisitions
and late observations remain accounted for. Removing the recovery
handoff and restoring the old drain snapshot produce distinct assertion
failures.
- The unsupported-host control skips all 12 PostgreSQL cases without
setup; removing the guard fails the controlled setup. These tests do not
constitute live VM/provider qualification.
- Initial head `5db6882` passed an exact reference-tree comparison
against master plus the reviewed follow-up patch, 97 targeted cases and
server typechecking. Those checks predate the final inspection
correction.
- Previous head `59f87fa` passed 32 targeted cases (11 task-recovery and
21 generic-sandbox cases) and server typechecking. Both `pending` and
`needs_reconciliation` observations without `creationLease` preserve
ownership and get a future retry deadline. Restoring the previous guard
makes both new cases fail.
- The reproduced failure was a wrong generic cleanup shape that could
resolve its journal while leaving the owner held—not a demonstrated
false ownership release. The correction reuses the existing
missing-identity guard before the generic decoder and leaves generic
sandbox behavior unchanged.
- Earlier affected selection: 72 cases passed on the original follow-up
base. This overlaps the final selection and is not an additional count
of unique final-head tests.
- Two isolated negative controls restore the missing task inspection and
redirected-worker behaviors. Both fail at the expected recovery and
dispatch assertions without changing production source files.
- The PostgreSQL cases verify one cleanup lease, both late-result
orders, recovery after the old journal deadline, ordinary legacy
behavior, retained ownership on missing or mismatched identity, and
cancellation acknowledgement after exact termination proof.
- The tests use actual database and run-control services with controlled
worker callbacks. They do not prove live IPC or production recovery
timing.
- A compatible provider is needed for the new recovery path. No normal
successful-startup database or network call is added. No ordinary TTFT
improvement is claimed; the repair removes an indefinite ownership hold
for supported lost replies. No full local CI suite was run; GitHub runs
the full regression gates.

## Risks

The provider must recover the identity for the recorded creation
operation and preserve its selected binding. `creationLease` does not
authorize a new turn or prove that a process stopped. Older journal
entries do not infer a new identity after an upgrade. Unavailable
original machine bindings or credentials retain the existing uncertainty
behavior; this change does not repair machine or credential loss. No
schema migration, deployment or ROM qualification is included.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. Exact model ID and context window are not
exposed in this session. Tool-assisted implementation, targeted tests
and independent subagent review.

DottaandPaperclip 16643a6e03 fix(runner): recover pending Stop cleanup after controller restart (#18682)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The server owns execution, Stop delivery, and usage settlement.
> - A Stop can remain pending when the controller restarts.
> - Recovery must reach the existing session without starting more paid
work.
> - Startup and budget fences currently block that cleanup, and
interrupted runs leave the restart selection.
> - This pull request gives exact audited Stop cleanup a shared
authority check and records its real acknowledgement.
> - The benefit is safe cleanup while usage debt remains honest.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A pending native run-only Stop can retain an unfinished execution owner
after controller loss. Its startup cancellation fence prevents recovery
admission. If teardown marks the run interrupted and clears its task
lock, restart selection also omits it. A recovered session can receive
cancellation without the durable acknowledgement that the normal Stop
request would save.

**Expected behavior**

Recover only the existing remote session for the audited pending Stop.
Keep fresh provider work blocked, including during budget pause. Keep
incomplete usage pending until a real complete receipt arrives.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a native run with a held reservation and an authenticated
remote checkpoint.
2. Persist a run-only Stop and its startup and execution cancellation
fences before acknowledgement.
3. Lose the controller. Leave the coordinator unfinished, mark the run
interrupted, and clear its task lock.
4. Attempt restart recovery and observe the missing claim or
cancellation admission rejection.

Related work: #14733 binds caller Stop requests. #18658 handles plugin
startup cleanup obligations. #18035 proposes broader accounting changes.
This change repairs existing-session Stop recovery and preserves current
accounting guards.

## What Changed

- Add one shared check for the exact run, company, issue, pending Stop,
intent audit, live recovery lease, generation, and remote reattachment
disposition.
- Include eligible interrupted Stop owners in restart selection. Keep
generic interruptions and another task execution owner fenced.
- Reuse only the original held reservation for cleanup. Keep budget
pause effective for fresh, bootstrap, dead-runner, and unproven recovery
work.
- Apply the same cleanup authority at heartbeat runtime selection and
native entry. Skip attachment staging and warm-owner retirement only for
that exact cleanup. Revalidate at session publication and fail closed if
the proof changed.
- Send the existing Stop through the audited cancellation producer
before turn submission. Close the coordinator only after
acknowledgement, including system-owned run-only Stops.
- Give verified cleanup a transport purpose that retains pending
semantic inputs without replay, dispatch, or a semantic reply. Add an
explicit Core retain-only intake mode; preserve authenticated identity,
schema, digest, sequence and replay checks. Ordinary execution still
requires its dispatcher.
- Add PostgreSQL, native protocol, and startup-fence regressions. Update
the execution contract and recovery maps.

## Verification

- The combined Stop regression fails on unchanged production at the
cancellation reservation guard. Interrupted restart selection also fails
before the repair while its running sibling passes.
- An assembled `heartbeatService.recoverNativeRunsAfterRestart`
regression exposes the earlier runtime-selection fence with the rest of
the repair present. The fixed path reaches selector/claim, runtime
selection, original held-budget reuse during pause, dispatch, real
native protocol, audited cancellation, and heartbeat settlement. It
starts no provider turn, acquires no new sandbox, and does not reclaim
the task lock.
- Fail-if-called attachment staging and turn boundaries remain
untouched. A retained warm-owner regression prevents retirement.
Invalidation at session publication fails closed. Actual backend/driver
constructor tests verify cleanup-purpose forwarding, absent default
options, and denial under foreign ownership.
- Missing usage retains accounting debt and the hold. A later complete
receipt records one 25-cent charge and settles that same hold.
Concurrent duplicate cleanup is denied. Both user-owned and system-owned
Stops pass.
- Real transport tests: 9 pass on Node 24.22.1. They preserve ordinary
saved-tool and completion recovery, prove the authority-denial race
before cancellation, and qualify cleanup with pending
ordinary/completion inputs and either handler ordering.
- Real authenticated Core intake: 11 pass. Callback-present and
callback-absent retain-only cases persist and acknowledge unanswered
input without dispatch, recovery or result. Default missing-dispatcher
rejection and digest-integrity/suspension guards remain effective.
Omitting the callback alone first failed by disconnecting; the explicit
retain-only mode fixes that defect.
- Repository `pnpm -r typecheck`, the server/runner-vendor build, map
checks, and module boundary checks passed locally before integrating the
latest retained-startup change. That integration passes 11 native
startup/cleanup compatibility cases and 3 assembled recovery/accounting
cases. The final broad affected-suite attempt was stopped without a
verdict; it is incomplete. Full repository tests and build are delegated
to current-head GitHub CI.
- Review exposed an additional real-process close failure with
unanswered input. The corrected path requires a fresh exact
provider-stop receipt confirming exit, followed by durable event drain
and exact runner suspension. All 11 focused transport cases pass,
including missing/false exit-proof negatives and ordinary recovery
siblings. Runner TypeScript and map validation pass after this
correction.
- The assembled test controls provider, workspace-transfer and GitHub
bootstrap I/O. It does not qualify hosted credentials, physical provider
termination, workspace preservation, or historical receipt recovery.
Local socket-permission setup failures are separate from semantic
regression results. No hosted replay has run on this repair.

- CI exposed an ordinary factory-call compatibility regression and an
obsolete authority-read test fixture. The repair preserves
single-argument ordinary calls and updates the race fixture without
changing its Stop assertions. The complete native executor suite now
passes all 1,049 tests; the ordinary factory boundary and all five
Stop-accounting cases pass. A separate local environment-default case
twice exceeded its five-second wait while other work ran; its prior-head
CI case passed. The same unchanged case passed an isolated diagnostic
without changing its assertion or timeout; the precise contention source
remains unproven.

- The final fixture edit initially used the wrong overloaded promise
type. CI rejected it; the annotation-only correction passes the exact
`pnpm run typecheck:build-gaps` entry point locally, including server
service tests and remaining workspaces. No runtime assertion changed.

- Final exact head `007fd4d04a2d6338c6dc073e97ab470a277fc3d0`: required
`ci / verify` and `ci / e2e`, build, typecheck and test groups pass.
Greptile is 5/5 with both findings resolved. Three expected checks are
skipped; the optional native check is neutral, while its final
current-head comment gives 5/5 from source inspection without a checkout
or test execution. The first server-shard attempt lost its self-hosted
runner connection; one scoped rerun passed. Its original annotation and
unavailable-log evidence are retained.

## Risks

- This changes execution authority. Cleanup requires an audited, exactly
bound pending Stop, an unfinished coordinator, a live remote
reattachment claim, and the original held reservation. It never
authorizes a replacement provider turn.
- Missing checkpoint, original held reservation, termination, or usage
evidence can keep cleanup or accounting pending. The repair does not
manufacture acknowledgement, replies, receipts, or zero cost.
- Retain-only intake is an internal trusted constructor option. It
changes no agent tool permission. Ordinary callback requirements and
semantic dispatch remain unchanged.
- No schema, public API, provider profile, or deployment setting changes
are required.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, `gpt-6.1-sol`, Extra High reasoning, with source
inspection, code execution, and regression testing. The context-window
capacity is not exposed in this session.

Nicky Leach 3a7bb4dac6 perf(runner): activate shared retained startup context (#18405) 2026-11-02 15:12:57 -08:00
Nicky LeachandPaperclip a9b18e1cbe fix(runner): preserve cleanup ownership across startup failures (#18658)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip controls which run owns an agent task.
> - A plugin can continue accepted work after Core stops waiting.
> - A late task-creation reply can therefore arrive after startup
cancellation.
> - Core must keep that work owned until its resource identity and
cleanup outcome are known.
> - This PR supplies the cleanup and recovery support before shared
startup is enabled.
> - The dependent activation PR can then reuse transport data within a
bounded startup context.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18405. This is the independently mergeable prerequisite for that
stacked activation PR.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Cleanup of explicitly recorded startup work that outlives its caller.

**Current behavior**

Caller timeout, worker exit, or failed cleanup-intent persistence can
leave work without a complete recovery path.

**Proposed behavior**

Retain the cleanup obligation, use existing Stop and recovery queues,
and release ownership only after the exact task and accepted work have
stopped. Ordinary calls keep their existing startup payloads and
budgets. This PR does not create startup contexts or advertise transport
reuse.

**Reason and benefit**

Separate the failure-handling contract from activation so each can be
reviewed on its own. This support PR has **no standalone TTFT speedup**.

## What Changed

- Add the startup cleanup marker, exact ownership checks, verified
completion, and acknowledgement helpers.
- Connect recorded cleanup obligations to existing Stop, deadline
reconciliation, restart recovery, and retry scheduling.
- Retain typed cleanup responsibility when a database write fails. Keep
the nonterminal run from being treated as ordinary completed cleanup.
- Observe late acquisition results and save resource identities before
retiring them. Retain real host writes and received results across
worker exit or persistence failure.
- Queue abandoned replacement tasks through the existing creation
journal and cleanup machinery. Require the replacement's own Stop proof.
- Accept an explicit startup context in the internal bridge for lifetime
tracking. Automatic context creation, marker production, capability
advertisement, transport capture, and executor activation belong to
#18405.
- Add PostgreSQL and worker IPC regressions, including legacy payload
assertions.

## Verification

Initial split source `8fb482d8be9e70101b0cfdd0830f41cf5b8e3cf4` had tree
`95508bd1859e991670cad8afd4de8d2167009ac5`. **190 distinct targeted
tests pass**, along with server typechecking. The selected checks cover
real PostgreSQL cleanup/ownership, worker IPC, the bridge and creation
journal, ordinary/distributed Stop, restart and deadline recovery,
idle-sleep behavior, and the unchanged legacy warm-task suite.
Independent recovery and worker reviews found no blocking issue.

The first correction, `b6342d42042601b376da38dc8e1dba9ca80e9539`, fixes
the replacement cleanup finding with the existing startup-cleanup
marker, scoped to contextual abandoned task creations. The replacement
was never prepared, so preparation-stop proof is not required. No
dispatch is fabricated and no normal-startup query is added. The actual
queue/sweep/driver/receipt/cancellation regression fails before the fix
and passes after it: void, running or foreign-task status retains
ownership; exact-task stopped status permits completion even when
Release returns void. **64 affected targeted cases and server
typechecking pass**. Independent review found no blocker.

Current source is `f53af72af76f263096c3c2e788506e6faef9474f`. It fixes
both recovery findings from the prior head's Apex 3/5: orphan recovery
now preserves pending or completed-but-not-cancelled cleanup through its
existing final-write fence, and exact late identities can reach verified
cleanup after reconciliation or restart. The regression selection went
from four failing assertions to six passing cases. Affected selections
cover 217 distinct cases; the exact final six-case regression and server
typecheck pass. Independent reviewers found no blocker in either fix.
Current-head standard review is 5/5 and all CI checks pass (54
successes, three expected skips, plus Snyk). Apex also completed at
**5/5** on this exact head, with zero unresolved threads. The requested
independent availability audit is complete on this head. It found an
activation-dependent operability gap: an acquisition response that is
never received can leave an unknown creation identity with no supported
task inspection/reconciliation path, while cleanup keeps the run owner
reserved. This does not occur in ordinary lower-only calls. The contract
and recovery policy need follow-up before activation; the external
review scores do not resolve that availability tradeoff.

The split preserves the accepted implementation at `21db7b3851` after
its clean merge with frozen master
`946735d03a55c1fb4cc5434d6bf1d87742daa9df`. The initial dependent
activation PR restored exact aggregate tree
`f68c6895f87c7b93ae03e6324d955d2659a99dce`. Both subsequent cleanup
corrections are integrated into upper head
`27978f294a02da3992585c7f4daa73cd8fcf99f8`; its current aggregate tree
is `a0b66c33f5e22745f034f45d24d213f5c210cf16`. Lower-only payload tests
cover the absence of capability advertisement and transport projection.

Only targeted local tests and typechecking are used. Full regression
coverage runs in GitHub CI. No deployment or ROM qualification is part
of this change.

The lower audit covered connected worker, creation-journal, Stop,
restart, deadline and orphan-recovery paths. A new isolated
real-PostgreSQL characterization reproduced the unknown-ID hold through
actual recovery, cleanup verification and run-control cancellation. It
models a lost acquisition response; it is not a live provider or
complete IPC test. No source edits were made by the audit. The
upper/composition audit remains required after its review cycle.

## Risks

- Recording a replacement result now commits with the existing cleanup
notification. This conditional replacement path adds
transaction/notification responses; common retained startup is
unchanged.
- This adds cleanup and recovery state handling. A missing receipt or
permanently inaccessible old backend can keep ownership held
indefinitely. Temporary outages retry; an ordinary retry is not evidence
that a deleted or replaced backend stopped.
- A caller timeout does not undo work already accepted by a plugin.
Unknown resource creation remains unresolved until its identity/outcome
is established. Current task creation has no supported
inspect-by-operation or operator reconciliation API for a permanently
lost identity; repeated Stop alone cannot resolve it.
- The support code understands records produced by the dependent
activation PR. It does not enable the shared startup policy by itself.
- Existing legacy callers must retain their behavior; context-only
automatic replacement cleanup remains explicitly scoped.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The exact model ID and context window are
not exposed in this session. Tool-assisted implementation, targeted
testing, and independent subagent review.

DottaandPaperclip 2b374caba0 fix(recovery): preserve unfinished remote exports before Retry (#18678)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent work and preserves each task's saved files.
> - A completed native result can still need workspace export.
> - Remote workspaces now use a different saved descriptor from legacy
copyback.
> - The execution hold checked only the legacy descriptor.
> - Task Retry could admit another run before the original export
finished.
> - A later failure could then supersede the original recovery record.
> - This change keeps unfinished remote exports fenced and permits
explicit historical file recovery.
> - Recovery keeps human review and newer execution authority intact.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A native run completed successfully, but its remote workspace export
failed. The recovery action used
`native_workspace_sync_out_retry_exhausted`. Task Retry created a second
task run while the original files still needed preservation. The newer
failure then superseded the original action. A board file-recovery
request could queue that cancelled record, but the worker excluded it
from discovery.

**Expected behavior**

Keep Retry behind the unfinished export. Save the exact source and
finalize the existing accepted result once. Preserve pending human
review. An explicit request for a superseded source must save its files
without applying an old result over newer work.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Save an accepted successful native result with a prepared
`remoteWorkspace` descriptor.
2. Fail its final export and retain its exact sandbox lease.
3. Select Task Retry before preservation completes.
4. Observe another task run before the original workspace is saved.
5. Supersede the original action and request file recovery for its exact
source. Observe queued work that the worker does not select.

**Paperclip version**

Observed at `1f8f2e195f4897cd1c237bdc068de95780ab0c3c`. The regression
is present on current master before this patch.

**Deployment mode**

Authenticated hosted instance with native Paperclip Runner and remote
sandbox workspaces.

Related: #18403 introduced the remote workspace path. #18644 reduces
export scratch disk use. #17916 covers a separate legacy warm-copyback
policy case. This change repairs remote export admission and explicit
historical preservation.

## What Changed

- Include prepared remote descriptors in the existing native export
hold.
- Retain remote source identity in the blocker and continuation read
projections.
- Let the existing worker select a cancelled export-repair record only
after an explicit board file-recovery request. Keep the current action
and workspace binding unchanged.
- Add real PostgreSQL, HTTP, filesystem and Git regressions. Update
execution semantics and recovery maps.

## Verification

- Red before the admission fix: HTTP Retry creates two task runs instead
of one.
- Red before the historical-source fix: the explicit recovery stays
scheduled and saves no snapshot.
- All 588 focused tests pass across the workspace recovery, recovery
source, explicit continuation and native export retry suites. The three
new integration cases verify duplicate request identity, original result
finalization, restored bytes and Git HEAD, pending human review,
current-writer exclusion, and preservation without older-result
commitment over newer work.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, map validation and `git diff
--check` pass.
- Full hosted CI passes on `c598718379fa939ec539e8e91a15a94d90321b59`,
including all server, workspace, serialized, Runner and browser lanes
([run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41529739604)).
Greptile reviewed that commit at 5/5 with no findings; there are no
unresolved review threads. Paperclip Review also published a complete
5/5 assessment for that exact commit with zero findings. Its check
conclusion is advisory/neutral, titled `5/5`. The first attempt lacked a
structured assessment; one normal completion request recovered the saved
analysis and published the validated assessment.
- The local `pnpm test:run` passed all six chat partitions, then was
stopped during the general server group after equivalent full CI
completed. Its partial log is retained; it is not reported as a
completed local full-suite pass.
- The test provider boundary uses real temporary files and the
production archive path. It simulates provider resume/stop calls. The
deployed fix and original hosted task recovery remain unverified until
merge and rollout.
- The older local Node 24.11.0 runtime failed to load the installed tsx
worker. Node 26.4.0 passed the isolated worker check. Required
repository checks use an isolated Node 24.22.2 runtime. The earlier
failure logs remain recorded.

## Risks

- Recognizing another unfinished export can keep previously admitted
work waiting. This is intentional until persistence is verified.
- Explicit historical recovery can resume the exact stopped sandbox to
read files. It retains source, allocation, ownership, writer and
bounded-attempt checks. It starts no provider turn.
- A newer run still prevents commitment of an older accepted result.
This change does not infer that a cancelled run had no external effects.
- No schema, credential, deployment or fleet configuration changes.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The runtime does not expose the exact model
ID or context-window size. Reasoning, repository inspection, tool use
and code execution assisted this change.

DottaandPaperclip 0c48f5e727 test(runner): cover document guidance for file-only objectives (#18669)
## Thinking Path

> - Completion guidance can link a saved task document even when the
user requested only a file.
> - The validator loads document publication proof when the objective
requests a document or the completion report cites one.
> - The success tests added in #18661 all requested both a document and
a CSV.
> - Those tests therefore could not detect loss of the cited-document
branch.
> - This test requests only a CSV and resubmits the actual guidance link
with a registered file receipt.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Addresses the [coverage warning on
#18661](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18661#discussion_r4447457009).

**What happened?** The earlier success cases exercised the
document-requested condition. The independently cited-document condition
lacked regression coverage.

**Expected behavior:** A file-only objective can cite a verified
saved-document guidance link alongside the required registered file.

**Steps to reproduce:** Publish a task document, register a CSV, request
only the CSV, obtain the saved-document href from completion guidance,
and submit both pieces of evidence. Removing only the cited-document
lookup must make this case fail.

**Paperclip version or commit:** Current master after #18661.

**Deployment mode:** Local source tests with real PostgreSQL and native
publication receipts; the remote CSV reader is controlled. No deployment
is part of this follow-up.

## What Changed

- Allow the existing registered-file test helper to accept a file-only
objective.
- Add one success case using real document publication, file
registration, and the server-generated guidance href.
- Keep production source and the existing negative cases unchanged.

## Verification

- All 27 native completion feedback tests pass on current production
code.
- The new case fails when only `|| citesTaskDocument` is temporarily
removed from publication lookup. The production file is restored exactly
afterward. This demonstrates a coverage gap; it does not establish a new
production defect.
- Server typecheck and `git diff --check` pass.
- Full repository CI passed, including both required E2E and verify
aggregate gates. Greptile scored the current head 5/5 with no unresolved
findings. The separate optional Paperclip review is queued and has
supplied no finding. The preceding production PR records its separate
local full-suite timeout and isolated passing retry; this follow-up uses
the focused local suite and full CI rather than repeating that long
local run.

## Risks

Low risk: only the existing test file and its fixture helper change. The
new case depends on real document/file publication contracts, including
the CSV receipt requirement.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` through Codex, with reasoning, code editing, shell
execution, and automated tests. The context-window size is not exposed
in this session.

DottaandPaperclip cd12432947 fix(runner): recognize verified task document evidence (#18661)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and keeps their results attached to
tasks.
> - Native tools return links to saved task documents.
> - Completion feedback asks agents to include those links.
> - The file-delivery validator treated every such relative link as a
workspace path.
> - A valid document and CSV result could therefore fail completion when
it cited the supplied document link.
> - This change derives document links from the same verified
publication projection for guidance and validation.
> - Requested files still need their own verified delivery evidence.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
The native document tool and completion feedback produce a link such as
`/EX/issues/EX-1#document-output`. When a task also requests a
downloadable CSV, citing that link causes completion to reject it as a
workspace-only file. This occurs even when the document is published and
the file has a valid current-run delivery receipt.

**Expected behavior**
Accept a server-derived document link only when it names the current
company/task and a currently attached revision with a matching native
publication receipt. Keep the separate requested-file requirement and
all foreign, stale, missing, and workspace-file guards.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Save a task document through the native `write_document` tool.
2. Publish a CSV through `register_deliverable`.
3. Ask completion feedback for the final-response guidance.
4. Cite its returned document link alongside the file receipt in the
next completion report.
5. The old validator rejects the valid document link as a workspace-only
file.

**Paperclip version or commit**
Current source checkout. The regression exercises the real native
document producer and completion validator.

**Deployment mode**
Local source verification on macOS arm64 with Node 24.22.1, pinned pnpm
9.15.4, locked dependencies, temporary PostgreSQL, and a controlled
remote file-reader boundary. No live provider or hosted deployment is
included.

## What Changed

- Derive the canonical document href in the existing
company/task/current-revision publication query.
- Use that same verified href in completion guidance and reference
validation.
- Keep file registration and hash/size receipt requirements separate
from document evidence.
- Cover evidence, artifact, and criterion references; foreign
companies/tasks; bogus keys; local paths; and lost current-revision
publication proof.
- Exercise actual native document writes and CSV registration, including
attachment download query and fragment links.
- Update the execution contract and the document feature/access maps.

## Verification

- Red before the production edit: native completion generated a real
saved-document link, then rejected the same link alongside a valid
published file. The failure was the workspace-only-file guard.
- Green: 210 tests across native completion feedback, explicit output
validation, and the existing native file-handoff suite pass. These use
real PostgreSQL and native tool receipts; the remote file reader is
controlled.
- A saved document link alone still fails the explicit CSV requirement.
A document whose current revision lacks its publication receipt is
rejected. Foreign task/company links, missing keys, malformed links, and
workspace paths remain rejected.
- Full workspace typecheck, server typecheck, and production build pass.
- `node scripts/check-maps.mjs`, `node
scripts/check-module-boundaries.mjs`, and `git diff --check` pass. Map
checks establish structure only.
- Full `pnpm test:run` is running separately. There is no full-suite
verdict yet. CI and review are pending.
- Hosted acceptance and any recovery of existing tasks remain separate
steps. This PR does not change final-response recovery or scheduling.

## Risks

- An overly broad URL exception could admit foreign or unpublished
output. The validator accepts only exact hrefs from the authenticated
publication projection.
- Document evidence could hide a missing requested file. A separate
regression keeps that delivery gate effective.
- The shared projection adds current task/company joins. Existing
document feedback and publication tests cover those consumers.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` through Codex, with reasoning, code editing, shell
execution, and automated tests. The context-window size is not exposed
in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 53f480d1b3 fix(native): preserve warm continuity and deferred review replies (#18631)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their saved work.
> - Product E2E tests must check saved personal files across separate
turns.
> - The server records file collection in the durable `instruction_save`
run-log event.
> - The warm test read optional terminal result metadata instead and
rejected a recorded successful save.
> - This pull request reads the complete event stream for the current
run and uses its latest save receipt.
> - The prompt now specifies the exact nine bytes required by the
temporary-file transfer count.
> - Human review actions select the actual interaction card, which can
share its interaction ID with a navigation button.
> - A later real three-turn run exposed a missing reply after workspace
finalization moved to its durable recovery owner.
> - Reply recovery handled completed tasks but omitted ordinary tasks
that awaited review.
> - This pull request also publishes their recorded final reply once
while preserving the pending review.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The [retained live continuity
attempt](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41477302876/job/125420001074)
saved the correct memory file and unchanged 8 MiB binary. Its durable
run log contained a successful `instruction_save` receipt. The oracle
read `resultJson.instructionSave`, which was absent, and failed before
turn two. The temporary file also had a trailing LF. Its prompt allowed
that result, while the byte-count check required nine bytes.

**Expected behavior**

The oracle must use the documented authoritative save event. A missing
receipt, a later failed save, incorrect transfer counts, or another
run's events must fail. The prompt must specify the bytes that its
independent check requires.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run `daytona-warm-continuity.runner-codex.daytona.warm-three-turn`
with the configured protected credentials and immutable image.
2. Complete a native turn whose terminal result has no `instructionSave`
field.
3. Compare the oracle output with the same run's successful
`instruction_save` event.

A subsequent [three-turn
attempt](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41495337334/job/125451304553)
passed every personal-file assertion and reused the same warm process.
Its first final reply was recorded as a completed agent-message event
but was absent from comments. The log shows
`native_workspace_finalization_busy`; the durable recovery path excluded
`needs_review` replies. The final message matcher correctly failed. This
failure remains recorded.

The observed application revision was
`aab87ce70744660a4a21c77278b0ede267c04720`. Related work: #14695 and
#18494. The retained failed result keeps its original grade and
definition.

## What Changed

- Read all run-event pages through the existing bounded collector.
- Require events to belong to the requested run and select the latest
`instruction_save` event.
- Retain strict byte counts and reject missing, failed, pending or
superseded receipts.
- Specify nine ASCII bytes and no trailing newline for the temporary
file.
- Scope human review actions to the interaction card and its exact
interaction ID.
- Advance the warm suite definition to version 5 and document its
evidence source.
- Recover recorded final replies for ordinary native tasks with an
accepted `needs_review` result and terminal state.
- Preserve pending reviews, existing reply selection,
company/turn/digest checks and external governed-response authorization.
- Update the task feature and agent access maps.

## Verification

- Real PostgreSQL regression: deferred review reply discovery failed
before the production repair (expected one candidate; found zero). The
final-message event and pending review were present.
- Recovery cases cover one publication, no repeated provider run,
unchanged review, and rejection of absent/wrong-turn final messages, bad
digest and suppressed comments.

- Red: seven new boundary regressions failed against the old receipt
lookup.
- Green: 169 focused oracle, event pagination and catalog checks passed.
Product E2E typecheck passed after rebuilding local package
declarations.
- Retained-evidence replay confirms that the new lookup finds the real
successful save event. The original attempt remains failed because its
temporary file included an LF.
- Recursive typecheck passed before the final recovery change; server
typecheck passed afterward. The recovery and control-plane suites passed
all 112 tests. Full build and map checks passed.
- The broad local test run reached one unrelated 30-second timeout in
`attention-retention-work.test.ts` (maintained-review/confirmation
batching). The same unchanged case then passed on one targeted retry
(39.9 seconds including module load). The original failure remains
retained. The broad run also reported one unchanged workspace-conflict
case, which passed on its targeted retry (14.85 seconds including module
load). Both original failures remain retained. The redundant broad local
run was stopped after current-head CI completed all required gates: 55
successful checks and 3 selection skips. No all-green local broad-run
claim is made.
- The separate artifact-transfer cell already passed on the recorded
application revision: independent source and delivered bytes matched at
407,485 bytes, with a completed task, succeeded native run and cleared
execution locks. This does not establish a three-turn continuity pass.

- [Real native three-turn
acceptance](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41499102994/job/125465795210)
**passed** at `3b207a42943e9eeb371d4f2d5623de72093eb6d5`, suite
definition 5. Turn one exercised `committed_task_response_recovered`.
All three completed final replies were persisted once and in order. All
three strict personal-file receipts passed. The unchanged 8 MiB binary
survived; later transfers copied only 36 and 54 bytes. The lease was
created, resumed, and resumed with the same runner PID/start time,
runner instance, native session and provider session. Final task was
`done`, all three runs succeeded, and checkout/execution locks were
null.
- The aggregate startup summary has no separate provider-process PID
proof. The raw run records independently prove the stable runner process
and provider session stated above. This single native cell does not
qualify the legacy cell or a full provider matrix.
- The passing campaign reused the signed immutable runner image. It
required no disk expansion. Earlier campaign image builds used the
recorded temporary 120 GiB mitigation; default 60 GiB build capacity
remains unqualified. All scoped completed probes were removed and
independently returned 404; org CPU/disk usage returned to zero. This
does not resolve unknown historical resources under a different
credential identity.
- Current-head Greptile is 5/5; review-thread pagination is complete
with zero threads. All 55 current-head checks are successful; 3
selection checks are skipped. The paid campaign, result enforcement and
report publication all completed successfully.

## Risks

- Publishing a reply must not approve the work. Recovery only copies the
accepted turn’s completed final message. It preserves the pending review
and does not start an executor.
- Conversation and external governed-response paths retain their
existing separate authorization.

The latest save event can record failure after an earlier success. The
oracle rejects that case. Event pagination, missing receipts and
cross-run evidence also fail closed. The exact temporary-file byte count
remains required. The review selector still requires the intended
interaction ID and enabled action on its actual card. The production
change is limited to ordinary internal-task reply recovery. It still
requires an accepted result, a matching successful terminal disposition,
the completed final message, and existing publication authority.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip a92f616cd0 fix(db): attribute bounded captures to execution owners (#18634)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent work through shared server and database
services.
> - High query volume can spend main-thread time on SQL construction and
result decoding.
> - The existing bounded response capture counts rows and bytes, but it
cannot name the operation that executed a query.
> - Bundled callers can be missing, and measuring every parsed JSON
value adds work to the diagnostic.
> - This pull request carries a semantic execution owner into each
measured query and bounds response sizing.
> - Operators can rank query volume by owner before choosing a
performance fix.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17504, #17522, #17537, #17564.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The opt-in `PAPERCLIP_DB_RESPONSE_CAPTURE_WINDOW` diagnostic.

**Subsystem affected**

Database diagnostics and existing server execution boundaries.

**Current behavior**

The capture groups by table, operation, and builder caller. It cannot
distinguish execution owners that reuse a prepared query. Bundled
deployments need source maps for caller locations. The capture visits
every returned value and serializes parsed JSON again to estimate its
size.

**Proposed behavior**

Version 2 captures use fixed semantic owners for HTTP requests, delivery
queues, execution phases, and budget work. They count completed calls,
returned rows, errors, and completion wall time. They sample successful
results 1, 17, 33, and so on, with fixed cell and string/byte limits.
Complex values remain explicitly unmeasured. Semantic ownership works
without source maps.

**Reason and benefit**

A short census can identify which operations issue the most queries or
return the most rows. It preserves each query's execution owner through
pooled connections, concurrent operations, and prepared-query reuse. It
reduces diagnostic work without claiming per-query CPU attribution.

**Breaking changes**

Opt-in capture output moves from `entry.v1`/`summary.v1` to
`entry.v2`/`summary.v2`. Sampled primitive byte lower bounds replace
all-result byte estimates. Consumers must use the new fields and must
not extrapolate them into a total. There is no database migration or
application API change.

## What Changed

- Added `withDatabaseOperation(owner, action)` to the DB package. The
server owns semantic labels. Queries retain execution ownership in their
completion closure.
- Added fixed owners at existing HTTP, delivery, budget, and execution
timing boundaries. Delivery work replaces the context of the producer
that woke it.
- Added complete call/row/error counters and completion wall durations
within the existing bounded window. Durations include waits and are not
CPU measurements.
- Sampled and bounded primitive-value sizing. Complex and oversized
values remain unmeasured. Known owners skip repeated stack extraction.
- Preserved the deadline, group limit, paced output, query outcomes, and
existing coverage exclusions. Updated the operator documentation.
- Added real PostgreSQL owner-isolation and prepared-query tests, server
scope tests, and plain bundled-runtime proof.
- Moved projection-test and benchmark full-response sizing into an
explicit test helper. Existing payload-size thresholds remain unchanged;
these synthetic checks do not use the production sampler.

## Verification

- Final-commit DB capture suites: 43 tests passed in 13.86 seconds
against the actual PostgreSQL driver, including concurrent owners,
prepared reuse, transaction failure, a dedicated client, sampling, and a
query crossing the deadline. DB typecheck passed.
- Server attribution and existing delivery/execution/budget suites: 53
tests passed. Final concurrent HTTP GET/JSON POST scope refinement: 5
tests passed.
- Runtime bundle suite: 8 existing tests passed. The new no-source-map
owner test passed after its fixture was corrected to use a driver
thenable. An ordinary native Promise can bypass an overridden `.then`;
the real PostgreSQL tests separately cover driver integration.
- Observer-only experiment: three alternating pairs per case on Node
24.22.2, macOS arm64, 3,000 calls per run after warm-up. For an
already-materialized synthetic JSON result, median capture CPU fell from
82.37 to 1.87 microseconds/call. For a 100-row primitive result, it fell
from 8.10 to 4.40 microseconds/call. Every result retained identity and
all calls were counted. The new diagnostic intentionally measures less
byte data; these are observer costs, not database latency or a hosted
application speedup. Disabled-case timings were below one
microsecond/call and too small for a performance conclusion.
- Final lifecycle regression: 28 unit tests and DB typecheck passed.
Closing the last capture disables and replaces owner storage;
overlapping captures retain it.
- Final-commit full recursive typecheck passed in 38.38 seconds and full
build passed in 40.81 seconds. The build stamp matches
`83ed4ba9cebd68d48929c46f15ab32d5c0b9687b`. Focused server attribution
tests also passed 5/5 before the test-helper-only migration. Full test
acceptance will use the repository's parallel CI gates; the unsharded
local command takes hours.
- Verification failures retained: initial sandbox runs could not open
local IPC/PostgreSQL listeners; permitted reruns exercised the real
services. One old test expected JSON serialization and was updated to
assert explicit unmeasured complex values. The first bundle fixture used
the wrong promise boundary, as described above. A retained-callback
regression also demonstrated that disabling and reusing the same
AsyncLocalStorage instance could resurrect an old owner; replacing the
instance after the last capture closes fixes that case.
- The first CI run found older projection tests consuming the previous
full-response fields. Those consumers now use the full-response test
helper, preserving their byte thresholds. The two complete affected
route suites plus helper tests passed 115/115 in 73.08 seconds. A
temporary full-row query negative control then failed the unchanged
2,048-byte limit at 5,000,812 bytes and was restored; five other service
suites passed 34/34 and the affected chat cases passed 3/3. All three
previously failing CI shards passed on the corrected head. A local
skill-list benchmark smoke check completed 255 captured queries with no
in-flight queries or overflow; this was integration verification under
concurrent test load, not a timing benchmark.
- Two final-head runner jobs lost communication with GitHub before
reporting a test result. One targeted retry of those jobs and their
dependent aggregate passed. All 53 final-head checks passed, with 3
intentional skips; previously passing suites were preserved.
- Hosted capture remains pending until the reviewed revision is deployed
and a bounded window is explicitly configured.

Reproduce the focused checks with Node 24 and the repository pnpm
version:

```sh
pnpm exec vitest run packages/db/src/response-capture.test.ts packages/db/src/response-capture-postgres.test.ts
pnpm --dir server exec vitest run --config vitest.config.ts src/__tests__/database-operation-attribution.test.ts scripts/bundle-runtime.test.mjs
pnpm -r typecheck
pnpm build
```

## Risks

- Owner context is active while a valid future capture window is armed,
up to 30 minutes before accounting starts. No-window and expired calls
take the direct path. Diagnostics still add bounded work while enabled.
- A nearest nested owner is reported. Broad `http.request` and
unattributed groups remain visible; this does not identify every service
callsite or SQL shape.
- The existing census excludes tagged/raw explicit-execute/streaming
paths and internal protocol commands. Its counts are not PostgreSQL
transaction totals.
- Completion wall time includes queue/database/network/scheduling waits.
Concurrent durations overlap. Sampled bytes exclude complex values,
large strings, and values beyond the sizing limits.
- Activation is startup-only. Operators must choose the window after
artifact preparation, allow rollout/warm-up time, and remove the expired
setting afterward.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with code execution, repository inspection,
and parallel agents. The exact deployment model ID and context-window
size are not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 5f0bb518b0 fix(runner): handle blank assigned-tool schema references (#18637)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native agents discover assigned app tools through a governed
gateway.
> - OpenCode receives search and call tools instead of the full app
catalog.
> - A blank optional schema reference selected schema lookup instead of
search.
> - Agents received an unknown-tool error and could abandon valid app
access.
> - This pull request treats blank references as search and explains
invalid schema requests.
> - Agents can find their assigned tools while the gateway keeps its
access checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

An agent called `paperclip_search_assigned_tools` with
`{"query":"github","schemaTool":""}`. The server tried to find a tool
with an empty name. It returned `assigned_mcp_tool_unknown` instead of
search results. The agent then reported that its GitHub tools were
missing.

**Expected behavior**

A blank optional schema reference must permit normal tool discovery. A
bad schema reference must explain how to search again.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Assign an app tool to a native agent that uses on-demand discovery.
2. Search with `{"query":"github","schemaTool":""}`.
3. Observe the unknown-tool error instead of the assigned tool.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced from source before this fix, on master at d26628e35a.

**Deployment mode**

Native OpenCode with assigned MCP tools. The shared search code also
serves other native providers.

Related implementation: Refs #17740. A search for `schemaTool` found no
duplicate issue or pull request.

## What Changed

- Treat empty and whitespace-only schema references as normal search.
Accept a zero schema offset in this mode.
- Explain how to correct unknown references and positive offsets without
a reference.
- Test discovery, invocation, and revocation through the authenticated
OpenCode MCP bridge.
- Update tool descriptions, developer guidance, and the execution maps.

## Verification

- The three new regression cases failed before the fix.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/services/native-runtime/assigned-mcp-tools.test.ts`: 43 tests
passed after the fix.
- Existing tests cover schema chunks, work-mode restrictions,
revocation, approvals, and pinned tool catalogs.
- `node scripts/check-maps.mjs`: passed.
- `pnpm build`: passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed.
- Full CI passed on commit `26d20fc19d846d46d7656a9f0160db5e81479dbc`:
55 successful checks, one neutral review check, and three skipped
checks. Nothing is pending or failing. This includes all CI test shards,
Runner verification, build, typecheck, security checks, and the canary
dry run.
- The duplicate local `pnpm test:run` completed its first five chat
integration shards without failures. I stopped the remaining local run
after the complete CI suite passed. The full local suite did not finish;
the complete-suite result is from CI.
- Greptile and the Paperclip code review each gave commit
`26d20fc19d846d46d7656a9f0160db5e81479dbc` a 5/5 score with no findings.
There are no unresolved review threads.
- The initial focused test could not collect tests until the fresh
worktree built its plugin SDK dependencies. `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/plugin-sdk ensure-build-deps` resolved that setup
requirement.

## Risks

Low risk. Blank references and zero schema offsets now select normal
search. Nonblank references still require an exact authorized tool name.
Discovery and calls keep their existing gateway checks. The change needs
no database migration.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, tool use, and code
execution. The host does not expose the exact backend model ID or
context window size in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 3f7811eef0 fix(runner): keep requests responsive during retired backup cleanup (#18619)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Remote native runs keep durable harness backups for continuation and
recovery.
> - Publishing a new backup retires earlier backup directories in the
server process.
> - The synchronous permission walk and recursive removal block
unrelated requests.
> - This pull request makes that cleanup asynchronous and keeps
publication waiting for completion.
> - The benefit is continued request progress while large retired
backups are removed.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Publishing a backup with many small files blocks the Node event loop
during directory permission repair and removal. A local comparison with
20,000 retired files reproduced 1.37–1.95 second event-loop stalls. This
is a pause candidate. A short hosted profile has not established it as
the dominant source of sustained CPU use.

**Expected behavior**

Unrelated requests can progress during cleanup. Publication still waits
for complete removal, preserves rollback on a failed lease stamp, and
leaves live files and symlink targets unchanged.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the benchmark in `doc/performance/native-backup-publication.md`. It
compiles the actual publication service from a pinned baseline and the
working tree, prepares immutable retired backups, and sends foreground
HTTP probes from a separate process.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Measured baseline: `774ddc72713d6aa7cb516691c71f1fc23bcfa5ff`. The
measured treatment source is committed in this branch. Current head:
`0a69cf2d43c2f9fcf032d96c1dceb56163bf21ba`. The runtime patch is
unchanged from the measured source; later commits only strengthen the
test and benchmark evidence paths.

**Deployment mode**

Local compiled service on macOS arm64 with Node v24.22.2. No hosted
rollout has occurred.

Related work: #18380 changed retention scheduling. #13676 included the
existing immutable-backup cleanup behavior. Neither change makes
publication cleanup asynchronous. The GitHub duplicate search also found
#11929, which concerns database dumps rather than native harness
backups. No matching open event-loop cleanup issue was found.

## What Changed

- Use asynchronous filesystem operations for retired-backup cleanup.
Visit directories serially and skip unnecessary metadata calls for file
entries.
- Await cleanup before publication proceeds, during rollback, after
successful rotation, and in executor finalization.
- Exercise immutable current and previous backups in the publication
test. Preserve the existing symlink-isolation and rollback tests. Add a
real separate-process HTTP probe that must complete while publication is
still active.
- Add a repeatable service benchmark and document its fixture, metrics,
and acceptance limits.

## Verification

Draft status: focused correctness tests, the local comparison, and
repository typecheck pass. The complete local test gate is incomplete.
The build passed. Complete CI, hosted acceptance, and final-head review
remain pending.

- Final focused Vitest run: 2 files, 4 tests passed in 649 ms with the
normal server configuration. The regression warms a separate Node
client, waits for its HTTP request during the stamp callback, queues the
response for the next event-loop turn, and then allows final
retired-tree removal to start. The async treatment serves that response
before publication completes. The original synchronous cleanup fails the
same final regression in a separate source fixture. That expected
control failure is retained.
- Syntax and `git diff --check` passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed on head `332c57b88c` in 152.18 seconds,
including the native Runner build. Validation uses Node v24.22.2 and the
repository-pinned pnpm v9.15.4 with isolated dependencies.
- `pnpm test:run` was intentionally stopped after 1,390.24 seconds (exit
143). All six chat shards passed, covering all 1,817 parameterized cases
across their exact partitions. The general server phase was advancing
but incomplete. The repository timing manifest estimates another roughly
two hours for the serial remainder, so validation moved to final-head
parallel CI. This is not a full local test pass. The command began on
`332c57b88c`; later changes only refine the regression and benchmark,
and the final regression has its own focused pass.
- Benchmark failure/metadata checks pass in a tiny isolated Git fixture:
an injected worker exit 17 is reported in 0.44 seconds without hanging,
and the result includes a staged source change when the unstaged diff is
empty.
- `pnpm build` passed in 41.80 seconds on `9f7e4e669b`. The final commit
only releases a pending test probe on failure; runtime and build sources
are unchanged. An injected client exit verifies that final test failure
path exits promptly in 0.97 seconds instead of hanging.
- Three alternating baseline/treatment pairs used fresh fixtures with
100 directories × 100 files in each of two retired backups. Each
publication removed 20,000 files. A separate process sent HTTP probes at
fixed 5 ms intervals, including overdue arrivals.
- Every run verified the replacement manifest, complete cleanup, and
unchanged symlink-target contents and mode. All 2,395 HTTP requests
completed without errors. The largest measured generator delay was 8.8
ms.

| Metric | Baseline median (range), ms | Treatment median (range), ms |
| --- | ---: | ---: |
| Foreground request p95 | 1,357.7 (1,287.4–2,014.0) | 1.8 (1.7–25.9) |
| Maximum event-loop delay | 1,439.7 (1,371.5–1,954.5) | 19.9
(17.4–40.7) |
| Publication completion | 1,429.1 (1,360.2–1,952.9) | 1,439.5
(897.9–1,649.6) |
| Process CPU during publication | 1,194.1 (1,041.8–1,225.5) | 2,423.1
(1,995.7–2,514.7) |

The treatment served 180–329 requests while publication was active. The
baseline served zero during that interval. Process CPU includes
foreground work that the baseline cannot serve until cleanup completes.
The result supports responsiveness, with a CPU tradeoff. It does not
establish lower total CPU or a hosted latency gain.

Reproduce with Node v24.22.2:

```sh
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run src/services/native-runtime/native-harness-backup-cleanup.test.ts src/services/native-runtime/native-harness-backup-publication.test.ts
node server/scripts/benchmark-native-backup-publication.mjs --baseline-ref 774ddc7271 --output /tmp/native-backup-publication.json
```

The benchmark records the baseline SHA, treatment HEAD and source diff.
Raw local evidence remains outside the repository. A first small smoke
run hit a sandbox restriction on loopback listeners; the authorized
retry resolved it. The smoke also exposed load-generator interval drift.
Fixed-clock arrivals replaced that generator before the reported
measurements.

Pending gates: complete current-head CI, final-head Greptile review, and
the real run/checkpoint/recovery journey. The full local test run
remains explicitly incomplete. The four concrete review findings were
fixed. The prior head received 5/5; final-head review remains pending.

Local evidence remains outside Git:
`/private/tmp/backup-publication-measurement-20261102.json`,
`/private/tmp/native-backup-focused-final.log`,
`/private/tmp/native-backup-typecheck.log`,
`/private/tmp/native-backup-test.log`,
`/private/tmp/native-backup-test-interruption.json`,
`/private/tmp/native-backup-build.log`, and
`/private/tmp/native-backup-harness-check.json`. The harness-check
receipt points to its isolated metadata and worker-failure logs. The
final client-failure and baseline-control logs are
`/private/tmp/backup-benchmark-check-gprcfiiz/failed-client-cleanup.log`
and
`/private/tmp/backup-benchmark-check-gprcfiiz/final-probe-baseline-control.log`.
These local paths are retained for the author; the commands above let
reviewers reproduce the synthetic proof.

## Risks

- Asynchronous removal adds filesystem-pool work and used more process
CPU in the fixture. Check resource pressure as well as responsiveness
before rollout.
- Filesystem operations can now interleave with unrelated work. The
existing session owner still controls publication. Cleanup remains
awaited; no deletion is detached and no scheduler is added.
- Errors must still fail publication or restore the prior backup as
before. Corruption checks and destructive lease authorization are
unchanged.
- This synthetic macOS fixture does not represent every Linux volume or
backup shape. It does not qualify a deployed fix.
- Rollout acceptance should confirm the serving SHA, checkpoint
completion, continuation/recovery, error rate, and loop delay under
matched backup load. Revert if cleanup or recovery fails.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with tool use and code execution. The exact
served model ID and context-window size were not exposed to this agent.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip f8a888a072 feat(runner): define bounded startup lifetime contracts (#18490)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Native sessions and plugin workers have separate startup lifetimes.
> - A caller timeout does not prove that a worker or an accepted host
write has stopped.
> - Shared startup code needs an exact deadline and an actual settlement
contract.
> - This PR adds those contracts and tests them before any production
caller uses them.
> - The dependent integration in #18405 will use the contracts with
verified cleanup.
> - This split lets reviewers assess the lifetime rules separately from
runtime activation.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18405. This PR extracts the foundation from that change. The
integration will depend on this PR.

**Problem or motivation**

A bounded startup must distinguish the caller's wait from actual worker
completion. A late worker reply or an accepted host request can outlive
the original RPC promise. A shorter timeout must not discard that
responsibility or authorize a replacement run.

**Proposed solution**

Add one Core execution context, optional Runner startup deadlines, and
worker settlement and retirement APIs. Test the contracts with real
child-process IPC. Keep production context creation, transport
projection, capability negotiation, durable cleanup, and Stop/recovery
integration in #18405.

**Alternatives considered**

One combined PR mixed the lifetime contract with its activation and
cleanup policy. Activating a shorter deadline before the complete
transport and cleanup path is unsafe. Splitting only the SDK
declarations would not provide a useful behavioral review boundary.

**Roadmap alignment**

This supports the existing plugin, sandbox execution, and bounded
recovery capabilities. It adds no new product workflow, endpoint,
migration, provider or runtime dependency.

## What Changed

- Add `NativeExecutionContext`. It retains the selected input, binds one
transport target, rejects work after cancellation or expiry, and tracks
actual worker settlement. Expiry alone does not complete pending work.
- Add worker startup groups. A caller timeout retains the group's
responsibility. Retirement revokes obsolete invocation scopes, waits for
accepted host handlers, and retires only the verified group's
bookkeeping. Each cleanup wait is bounded; an unfinished handler remains
pending for a later retry.
- Add an optional Runner startup signal and absolute deadline for
session open and retained attachment. Clean up abort listeners after
synchronous failures. Existing callers keep their default timeout path.
- Expose the remaining confirmed controller-lease budget without a new
query or renewal timer.
- Add optional SDK context and preparation-retirement fields. No
production bridge sends or advertises them in this slice.
- Keep the required lease mock update with the new `remainingMs()`
contract so this foundation typechecks independently.

Production activation files, including the native executor and
environment task bridge, match the current master base. No production
caller constructs `NativeExecutionContext` or passes the new Runner
startup option. This PR adds no durable cleanup producer and claims **no
standalone TTFT improvement**. The dependent integration must enable the
context, transport and verified cleanup together.

## Verification

Initial split verification on
`8ebc8a2f9c6c02e90f920356138b3742a4067b28`, based on
`9a3f395737e7a92faf99971459979061d423531a`:

- From `server`: `../node_modules/.bin/vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-execution-context.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-execution-context-worker.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-execution-lease.test.ts` — **17
passed**. Includes real child IPC, caller timeout with late reply,
worker death, accepted host-handler draining, obsolete cleanup
invocation rejection, unrelated work preservation, context scope,
expiry, and confirmed lease budget.
- From `packages/paperclip-runner`: `../../node_modules/.bin/vitest run
src/native-session-runtime.test.ts` — **188 passed**. Includes existing
callers without the new option and new
synchronous-failure/expired-deadline cases for fresh and retained
sessions.
- Direct TypeScript checks for `packages/plugins/sdk/tsconfig.json` and
`packages/paperclip-runner/tsconfig.json` — passed. Built only their
shared/eval TypeScript prerequisites.
- From `server`: `../node_modules/.bin/tsc --noEmit` — passed.
- Checked the partition against the reviewed combined candidate. The
twelve selected files match exactly. The thirteenth file carries only
the required test-mock update. The production executor, bridge and
target wiring remain equal to the base.
- `git diff --check`, added-line secret/private-data scan, and
added-code-comment scan — passed. No generated files or run artifacts
are committed.
- The first old-base split passed its focused tests but failed server
typechecking because the unchanged executor test mock lacked
`remainingMs()`. The original failure is retained. Moving that one-line
mock update into this foundation resolved the split dependency; the
final current-master checks above pass.
- Full local CI suites, Rust builds, deployments and provider calls were
not run, as requested. GitHub CI will provide full regression coverage.
Current-head GitHub CI, standard review and Apex are complete; exact
acceptance is recorded below.

Review follow-up `d7635f4d280dab757a3666703737bcda955c9361` fixes three
reproduced lifetime edge cases. A retiring startup group rejects new
calls and shares one retirement promise; failed bounded retirement
remains retryable. Transport identity uses a fixed field tuple rather
than object-property order. Finishing a context rejects pending lookup
waits without aborting an already-started backend or pretending the
worker completed. All three new regressions failed before the fix; the
updated foundation selection passes **20 tests**, including actual IPC
and failed-retirement retry. Server typechecking and added-line checks
pass. These replace the earlier 17-case selection, rather than adding 20
unique cases to it. The original failures and passing reruns are
retained.

Apex follow-up `cb8860bab5ab9d6357a352e11f276be0d0cdb26d` keeps removed
worker handles reachable while they own startup calls, accepted host
handlers or retirement work. Drain/retirement includes active and
retained handles; completion callbacks remove settled handles. Stop and
replacement remove only the exact handle they observed. This adds no
database/network operation, polling loop or generic shutdown wait. The
SDK, Runner, context and transport bridge are unchanged.

Seven additional IPC regressions failed on the prior manager and pass
after the fix, covering removal/replacement, Stop-all, host-handler
settlement, bounded retirement failure/retry, pruning, and replacement
ownership. The updated foundation selection passes **27 tests**, with
server typechecking passing; these supersede the earlier 20-case
selection. A separate real-PostgreSQL/child-IPC characterization uses
the integration's actual SDK host, storage registry and run-control path
with the exact corrected manager bytes. Before the fix, cleanup released
run ownership while an accepted host write was blocked, then the late
write restored obsolete metadata. After the fix, ownership and cleanup
remain pending until the write completes; cleanup then removes the stale
metadata before releasing ownership. The original failure, corrected
result and source snapshots are preserved. Final head
`cb8860bab5ab9d6357a352e11f276be0d0cdb26d` passes GitHub CI (53
successful checks, 2 expected skips, Snyk success), standard Greptile
**5/5** and fresh Apex **5/5**. All review threads are resolved and the
PR is conflict-free.

## Risks

The shared Runner helper now observes synchronous operation failures
through its asynchronous cleanup path. The affected runtime file's 188
tests pass, but full regression coverage still depends on CI.

The new lifetime APIs require honest settlement signals. A future caller
must not treat a deadline, worker crash or Stop intent as verified
retirement. Production activation remains dependent on the complete
integration and its cleanup tests in #18405. This foundation introduces
no shorter production startup budget or new cleanup policy by itself.

The context's transport projection is process-local. It must not be
persisted or used as a general authorization cache. No production caller
supplies it in this PR. There is no database migration, new dependency,
or deployment requirement for merging this foundation.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, assisted with repository inspection, the
split, tests and command execution. The exact serving model ID and
context-window size were not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 412834a860 test: overlap long recovery and maintenance waits (#18544)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - CI verifies recovery, execution authority, and background work
before changes merge.
> - Diff selection saves work, but a selected file still runs its cases
in sequence.
> - The three longest files in a recent full master run each took over
eight minutes.
> - Many of these cases must observe real lease expiry or idle periods.
> - This pull request gives independent cases separate fixtures so those
periods can overlap.
> - The benefit is a shorter test path with the same assertions and
observation windows.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18464.

The latest measured successful master [Cloud readiness
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41300933157)
spent 581 seconds in issue recovery, 569 seconds in native restart
recovery, and 512 seconds in maintenance server routes. File-level
selection cannot divide those long serial files. Shortening their lease
or idle windows would weaken the regressions they protect.

## What Changed

- Split issue recovery into four files with separate database and worker
fixtures. Keep all 18 cases.
- Split native restart coverage into recovery, lease renewal,
preparation, checkpoint cost, and disk-loss files. Keep all original 79
cases, including the existing container-qualified cases. The master
update also retains its newly added recovery cases.
- Close each native case's database clients after pending failure
reports drain. The shortened file must not rely on idle timeouts to stay
below PostgreSQL's connection cap.
- Run the native Runner lane with two isolated fork workers. Register
every new file in the lane and verify that the partition still includes
every suite.
- Give each maintenance case an owned database. Run at most two cases
together with test-local assertion contexts. Keep both real 90-second
quiet windows and all 17 cases.
- Preserve serial execution when any explicit shared
`PAPERCLIP_*_TEST_DATABASE_URL` is present. An admin URL that creates a
separate database per fixture can run concurrently.
- Refresh shard weights from the protected master run. Mark the initial
split-file weights as conservative estimates until master measures them.
- Anchor the attention-retention fake clock to PostgreSQL time. Its
fixed clock started trailing real database timestamps after 12:00 UTC on
November 1, causing an archive-deadline test to time out. Keep its
deadline assertions and timeout unchanged.
- Document the fixture and concurrency rules. Leave runner authorization
and workflows unchanged.

## Verification

- Final head `c9a4ff11b3ba81277341294c7721b34fb8705ede`: [full PR CI
passed](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41477848686),
including typecheck, build, all test shards, E2E, and the final
verification gate. The rollup has 55 successful checks, one neutral
review check, four expected skips, and no pending or failed checks.
Greptile reviewed this exact head at 5/5 with no actionable findings.
- November 2 master update: merge commit
`c9a4ff11b3ba81277341294c7721b34fb8705ede` resolves the native recovery
import conflict while retaining the new busy-row and remote continuity
cases from master. All 38 test-runner checks and the three new busy-row
cases passed locally.
- Retention verification after the master update: the first local full
run passed 52 cases and timed out at 15 seconds in the paged-backlog
case. That case passed in isolation. The unchanged master suite passed
all 53 cases (82.95 seconds), and a full PR rerun also passed all 53
(76.65 seconds). The initial timeout cause remains unproven; no timeout
or assertion was weakened.
- Previously verified head `fd288a8e8c88df54dcdca7b7e42366b019182782`:
[full PR CI
passed](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41312625439).
There are 55 successful checks, one neutral review check, four expected
skips, and no pending or failed checks. Greptile reviewed this head at
5/5 with no actionable findings.
- Issue recovery: 18/18 passed before and after the split on the same
local machine and PostgreSQL fixture path. Wall time changed from
**630.6 seconds to 319.7 seconds** (49% less). All case titles match.
- Maintenance also passed all 17 cases on AWS: structured file cost
dropped from **511.8 to 282.6 seconds** across the linked master run and
the first PR run. These are different CI runs, so the matched local
comparison below is the stronger isolated measurement.
- Maintenance: 17/17 passed before and after with the restored pinned
dependencies. Wall time changed from **488.1 seconds to 317.2 seconds**
(35% less). All 120 assertion lines remain. Both real 90-second windows
also passed a final targeted run.
- Native restart: 71 passed and eight existing container-only skips
before and after the split. Wall time changed from **632.1 seconds to
346.8 seconds** (45% less). All 79 cases and 254 assertion lines remain.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed.
- `pnpm build`: passed.
- Extra TypeScript checking of the moved recovery and maintenance tests
passed. The standard server config excludes `src/__tests__`. A separate
check of attention-retention fixtures reports existing type errors; the
unchanged baseline has identical diagnostics, with none introduced by
the clock fix.
- `node --test scripts/__tests__/run-vitest-stable-shard.test.mjs
scripts/ci/test-selection*.test.mjs`: 61 passed.
- `pnpm test:run`: stopped in the second chat partition: 335 passed and
four failed (two GitHub retry-state assertions and two Teams timeouts),
after 339 passed in the first partition. These chat tests are unchanged.
All four pass in a focused run (19.1 seconds). The full-suite
ordering/load cause remains unproven. All three CI chat jobs passed. The
previously failing cases passed there in 1.3, 1.3, 2.4, and 2.2 seconds;
see [the chat job
log](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41309691650/job/124857580714).
The attention-retention timeout repeated in CI and in an isolated local
run. Its fake clock was fixed at November 1 noon, which had fallen
behind real PostgreSQL timestamps. Anchoring it to the database clock
passes all 53 cases; the failed case now takes 425 ms.
- The native CI lane passed all 162 runnable cases with eight existing
skips after client cleanup: **650.7 seconds on the earlier master run to
391.0 seconds on this PR**.
- CI found native connection exhaustion after the long waits moved out
of the main file. The same failure reproduced locally at a
100-connection cap. Per-case client cleanup fixes the shortened file at
that cap, and all five native files now pass together at that cap (71
passed, eight existing skips).
- Early attempts exposed a missed fixture reference and a missed
reporting setup hook during extraction; both were restored. The first CI
policy run also required moving the new native fixture under test
helpers; that boundary check now passes locally. A separate auxiliary
command picked up the host pnpm version and removed dependencies. The
original maintenance baseline reproduced the same missing-package
failures, so that failed attempt is excluded from timing comparisons. A
later unchanged-baseline run passed all 17 cases. The pinned install was
restored before the passing maintenance run.

The audit also covered heartbeat process recovery, deferred receipts,
chat, workspace recovery, attention, and connection management. Their
shared fake clocks/provider mocks or existing partitioning need
different changes. The 16,400-row attention case and the large
checkpoint stream remain intact because their size protects real limits.

## Risks

- Two isolated processes use more memory and database connections than
one. Concurrency is capped at two. Shared database overrides force
serial execution.
- Moving setup into helpers can change test lifecycle order. The split
suites keep the same case assertions and use independent process state;
focused runs and the full CI suite check the move.
- Split-file weights are estimates based on case timings from the linked
run plus repeated setup cost. The next protected-master refresh replaces
them. Weights never permit tests to be skipped.
- Local timing varies with host load. CI measurements after merge are
needed to establish the overall PR wall-time improvement.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with reasoning, repository inspection, tool use,
and code execution. The exact backend revision and context-window size
are not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip baa4a2e64e fix(runner): restore Codex auth before source recovery (#18612)
Restore disposable Codex authentication and safe provider configuration before cold source recovery. Preserve source receipts and conversation state until reconciliation, and rebuild assigned tools from the admitted launch binding.

Validate remote launch destinations, clear stale authentication when no selected credential exists, and atomically publish SSH file transfers without following retained links. Red/green recovery regressions, a real two-turn Codex/MCP probe, and all current PR checks pass.

06bc8db75c fix(runner): install verified API artifacts in execution workspaces (#18494)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Native agents use authorized API tools to read saved results.
> - Copying a large response as model-generated text can lose bytes.
> - The execution workspace needs an exact copy of the saved artifact.
> - This change copies the authorized bytes without shell API
credentials.
> - The runtime verifies size and SHA-256 before it reports success.
> - A live evaluation checks capture origin, installation and delivered
bytes.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A native agent lost one byte while copying a 24576-byte API text page.
Existing capture and paging controls passed. The runtime had no verified
saved-artifact-to-workspace copy tool. A separate historical screening
refusal does not establish capture corruption.

**Expected behavior**

An authorized native run can install the complete saved artifact. The
stored and installed bytes must match in size and SHA-256. A conflicting
file must remain unchanged. A lost publication receipt must not cause an
unsafe repeated write.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run
`server/src/services/native-runtime/artifact-transfer.integration.test.ts`
on baseline `c46b8f35add9255fc71be294d27f5a7865bcb47f`. Its capability
assertion fails because `download_artifact` is absent. Apply this PR and
run the same regression with the filesystem and API controls. It
verifies 388131 synthetic bytes through the authority and installation
boundary.

Refs #18429. Related #17393, #17086 and #17285 cover paging, transfer
foundations and remote output reads. This PR adds the inbound
installation contract.

## What Changed

- Add `download_artifact` for supported standard-mode native runs, with
a 10 MiB limit.
- Reuse current company, task, run, asset-content and responsible-user
access checks. Check authority again before publication.
- Bind installation to the current execution lease. Stage through
confined Linux descriptors and publish with an atomic create-only link.
Keep API credentials out of execution commands.
- Verify bytes at storage and execution boundaries. Reject unsafe paths,
symlinks, different existing files, truncation and corruption. Reconcile
an unknown publication through verification only; an identical explicit
retry remains safe.
- Add API documentation, access-map entries and content-free audit
records.
- Preserve only the pinned Daytona SDK numeric HTTP status when failed
creation cleanup is unconfirmed. Keep provider exception messages and
headers private.
- Keep only the finished runner binary and portable provider pack in
their builder layers. Remove Rust targets/downloads and the Node install
workspace/store before export. Report tree sizes.
- Add one explicit Codex/Daytona Product E2E cell. Its independent
oracle checks the server capture audit, redacted tool receipts, stored
source, delivered attachment and browser link after reload. Uploaded
substitutes and one-byte loss fail.

## Verification

- Merge update at `6766b46553cab5b9787ade87a002eccaf50e68fc`: merge
current master and preserve both explicit suites in the catalog. Focused
catalog, image and oracle checks: 122 pass. Filesystem and authority
integration: 20 pass. Maps, module boundaries and whitespace checks
pass. New-head CI and Greptile are running. Full local build and
typecheck remain unavailable because cargo is absent.

- Behavioral red/green: the absent-tool regression failed before
implementation and passed afterward. The initial missing-package attempt
is recorded as setup failure.
- Linux filesystem and real PostgreSQL/authority integration: 19
filesystem tests and 1 authority test pass. Existing API authority,
capture and paging controls: 70 pass, 2 skipped. Provider transport in
these integration controls is simulated.
- Qualification calibration: 118 focused tests pass. The real
persisted-event redaction case and a byte-identical uploaded substitute
each failed before their oracle repair. The unchanged controls then
passed. Harness typecheck passes.
- Full recursive typecheck and build pass locally on the integrated
production source at `086f7a2901`. Later commits change only
qualification tests and documentation.
- Structural map/module checks and whitespace checks pass.
- Full local `pnpm test:run` was attempted by the implementation worker
and stopped under its 8 GiB memory limit, with no full-suite verdict.
Current-head CI must supply the full test result.
- The complete local Product E2E support suite has 13 failures. The
unchanged pre-qualification baseline reproduces all 13: host PostgreSQL
semaphore capacity, stale timeout/profile/workflow inventory
expectations, and expired fixed-date allowance fixtures. This is not a
full local suite pass.
- Earlier CI at `086f7a2901` failed a browser test during cleanup
cancellation with a database lock timeout. It remains recorded. All
browser shards passed on both later fully checked heads.
- Two qualification campaigns were canceled during setup before provider
execution while correcting the oracle. They provide no live product
verdict.
- Previous-head CI at `28fa001457f59df1c300c016dc569049e72d0061`: 53
checks pass, 3 intentional selection skips; no failed or pending checks.
- Real image/export regression: campaign 41272351780 compiled the Linux
runner and passed root/unprivileged CLI and transport checks, then
failed BuildKit export with `no space left on device` (exit 102,
filesystem 99.99%). No provider cell ran. Removing the Rust build trees
alone was insufficient: campaign 41273604815 also failed during
provider-pack export with exit 102. Commit `5bbb549c54` also
consolidates dependency installation and pack construction so the
disposable workspace/store can be removed in the same layer. All 122
image/oracle/catalog checks pass. Image and remote-pack publication then
passed in campaign 41275196741 after cleanup changes plus a scoped
60-to-120 GiB expansion of only its delete-on-termination builder disk.
The VM terminated and the expanded volume was deleted. This does not
establish that cleanup alone makes the default 60 GiB builder
sufficient.
- The Daytona admission probe then failed before agent creation, with
unconfirmed provider cleanup. The queued continuity case was canceled
because it shares this prerequisite. No artifact-transfer or continuity
success is claimed.
- Status-diagnostic regression: the original generic wrapper failed the
HTTP-status assertion. After the repair, the full plugin suite passes
501 tests, with 7 skips; its standalone TypeScript check passes.
Controls reject invalid status values, avoid accessors, preserve the
original create status and exclude credential canaries.
- Previous-head Greptile: 5/5; its summary names
`28fa001457f59df1c300c016dc569049e72d0061`. All review threads are
resolved.
- Live artifact transfer and three-turn warm continuity: NOT VERIFIED.
The diagnostic case in
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41277598289
confirmed Daytona HTTP 401 before agent creation. The configured
`DAYTONA_API_KEY` in the existing `runner-e2e-paid` environment needs
verification or refresh. The queued continuity control was not run after
its shared admission prerequisite failed. No further provider attempt is
planned until the credential changes. Unconfirmed provider cleanup
remains recorded.

## Risks

- Source-provenance changes can repeat the provider dependency install.
The combined build layer trades install-cache granularity for lower
retained disk use.
- Linux descriptor semantics and Node are required on the execution
host. Unsupported providers and restricted runtime profiles fail closed.
- Storage reads buffer at most 10 MiB. A provider outage can leave a
reserved staging file. Partial bytes never become the destination.
- A lost publication receipt can leave a complete file with an unknown
result. Recovery verifies the existing file without installation.
Conflicts are never overwritten.
- Artifact contents remain untrusted. The copy does not bypass screening
or authorize downstream execution.
- Live qualification uses the governed Codex API profile. It does not
establish every model, subscription profile, platform or historical
failure cause.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 in Codex assisted with diagnosis, code, tests and
qualification. The desktop runtime does not expose a more specific model
deployment ID or context-window size. The model used reasoning, source
inspection, tools and code execution. The native implementation agent is
configured with OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol`.

DottaandPaperclip 1a6017d646 fix(server): resume suspended sessions after controller replacement (#18554)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A web server replacement must preserve a completed conversation as
well as active execution.
> - A warm remote Runner can suspend before the replacement admits
another turn.
> - The replacement restores its controller checkpoint from PostgreSQL,
but lacks the Runner suspension receipt.
> - It therefore tries to adopt a live process and rejects the safely
suspended source.
> - This change restores the verified receipt and preserves retained
launch files while the old authority is reconciled.
> - Later turns can keep the same provider conversation after the old
web server filesystem is deleted.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18552, #18543, #18366.

**What happened?**

The real rolling-deployment journey passed both HTTP handoffs, with 765
reads and 78 verified saves. The first three agent turns kept their
native and provider sessions. After the second replacement, the fourth
continuation failed with `remote_warm_session_not_idle`. The remote
Runner was suspended with an empty outbox and no pending terminal. A
focused regression reproduced that exact failure. After restoring its
suspension receipt, the same test exposed a stale launch-file read
during source recovery.

**Expected behavior**

A replacement can resume the same provider conversation from a settled
suspended Runner. It must validate the physical sandbox and all
persisted identity fields. A live source must still pass the existing
adoption checks.

**Steps to reproduce**

Enable the Linux Runner fixture for
`native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts`. Run the
`diskless-warm-suspended` cases. The fixture completes and gracefully
suspends each source, deletes the controller projections, and admits a
later turn from another process. It does not write a synthetic
suspension receipt.

## What Changed

- Reuse the existing per-turn suspended-receipt reader before warm
admission chooses live adoption or suspended recovery.
- Keep the receipt read retryable when a failed remote read leaves only
the controller projection.
- Leave every non-suspended warm state to the existing live-adoption
checks. A preliminary backpressure observation cannot reject admission
before that owner inspects the current Runner state.
- Preserve current sandbox binding, settled-outbox, exact-identity,
local-evidence and admission checks.
- Pass the structured launch specification to remote asset preparation.
Source reconciliation keeps the old authority's retained launch files; a
current-authority launch still stages its current files.
- Add two Linux Runner/PostgreSQL regressions for two controller-cache
deletions and three turns on one provider thread, including an
interrupted receipt read.
- Update the deployment qualification record, including the failed live
evidence and the successful staging database-idle observation.

## Verification

- Before the fix, the focused regression fails with the exact live
`remote_warm_session_not_idle` error.
- Both new regressions pass with real PostgreSQL and Linux Runner. The
provider is deterministic; this is not a live model qualification.
- The first receipt-only fix failed on the deleted controller skills
cache. The completed fix passes that same scenario without recreating
fixture launch assets.
- All 1,067 surrounding launch supervision, warm recovery, launch-asset
and controller recovery tests pass. The exact `cc23019691` server build
passes. All ten Linux continuity cases pass, including live adoption,
graceful suspension, per-turn resume, changed configuration and
failed-read retry. Each case checks provider-thread identity and exact
turn counts. The live Codex/Daytona journey passes on the same clean
source and exact build: 518 reads, 53 saves and 53 verified saves with
zero probe failures; both predecessor homes deleted; the active
execution completes once; all four turns preserve the provider
conversation and native receipts; saved files and the final command
output are independently checked. No automatic retries. Child credential
and object-storage bucket cleanup pass. Browser reconnection remains a
separate hosted acceptance check.
- The review refinement has a failing-before regression: only the
preliminary read reports transient backpressure; the subsequent adoption
reads the real Runner state. It and both suspension cases pass on the
final source (three cases), with server typecheck. The existing idle
check remains unchanged. An initial retry hit a fixture port left by the
intentional pre-fix failure; a fresh container resolved that
infrastructure error.
- Independent cleanup verification found two archived setup sandboxes
left by the live harness. Both were deleted and confirmed absent. The
failed automatic-cleanup check remains recorded.
- No claim of the ten-deploy Railway campaign or production canary yet.

## Risks

- A cold warm-session admission can now make one bounded remote state
read when local lifecycle evidence is absent. Its failure stops
admission and remains retryable.
- This path cannot replace contradictory local evidence, transfer
authority, or treat a suspended process as a live one.
- Source recovery must keep the previous authority's launch files until
reconciliation completes. The launch identity selects that behavior;
ordinary launches still prepare current assets.
- No schema migration or public API change.

## Model Used

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

CI qualification note: first final-head run `41322376054` passed the
native/runtime and remaining suites but failed the unrelated
`automatic_message_on_reactivation` browser fixture at its
pre-reactivation deferred-queue count (0 rather than 1). The unchanged
test passed locally against isolated PostgreSQL (1 test, 43.6 s);
inspection found an asynchronous company-pause/fixture-seeding timing
window. Original CI logs and local evidence are retained. The single
failed-job retry passed; all final-head CI gates are green. Both reviews
are 5/5 and no review threads remain unresolved. The first local
embedded-Postgres launch failed before tests during cluster
initialization; the isolated external-Postgres test passed, and its
disposable database was removed after correcting the private launcher
cleanup call.

## Thinking Path

work.
> - A web server replacement must preserve remote execution and later
task continuation.

home.

paths as configuration.

its terminal metadata.

evidence, and defers locked recovery work so overlap can reach
readiness.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18543, #18366, #9977, #18118.

**What happened?**

A real Codex/Daytona journey replaced both control-plane servers and
deleted their homes. Reads, saves, saved files and active execution
passed. A later useful answer used a new provider session. All four run
records lacked the native terminal contract. The whole qualification
therefore failed. A later attempt also exposed startup failure: the
replacement waited for a row lock held by the serving controller and
aborted on its one-second lock timeout.

**Expected behavior**

An unchanged managed instruction entry and immutable skill version
retain the session across server cache relocation. Actual content and
configuration changes still reset it. A committed native receipt retains
its terminal contract even when the originating adapter never returns. A
busy recovery row defers through the existing scheduler while the
replacement reaches readiness.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the `rolling-web-deployment.runner-codex.daytona.recover-controller`
Product E2E cell with separate controller homes and shared
PostgreSQL/S3. The focused regressions reproduce the failures without a
model call.

## What Changed

- Read the managed instruction entry digest from the company-scoped
durable file head. Do not restore or read the cache for this check.
- Omit disposable instruction paths only when that durable authority
exists. Fingerprint selected immutable skill versions in both runtime
skill inputs.
- Preserve the existing local and external instruction path checks, and
unversioned skill identity.
- Publish the accepted native terminal contract in the same transaction
as the canonical result receipt.
- Skip locked recovery rows and schedule the same run for retry. Avoid
an audit write that would block on the same row. No ownership is
transferred while busy.
- Keep replacement readiness independent of an in-progress skill
selection; migration and cache eviction still require exact pins.
Missing durable skill versions still refuse startup.
- Project only the instruction digest in SQL instead of loading the
entire agent-file manifest per admission.
- Add real PostgreSQL lock contention tests for the issue, run and
coordinator, including the heartbeat startup caller and later claim.
- Limit native test teardown to its owned database on a shared test
host. The old behavior also fails on clean master.
- Add cache-loss, scope, changed-content, changed-version and
finalization regressions. Update the deployment qualification record.

## Verification

- Both focused regressions failed before the source changes.
- All 249 tests pass across `heartbeat-workspace-session`,
`agent-file-durability`, and `paperclip-control-plane-port`.
- Server typecheck and exact-revision build pass.
- Assembled admission ran 59 passing cases but failed during
native-suite teardown. The teardown failure reproduced on clean master.
All 16 native resumption cases and teardown pass after the
database-scope fix.
- All three row-lock regressions fail with the pre-fix lock timeout and
pass with deferred recovery. The full recovery suite passes 74 cases,
including the startup caller; eight Docker-specific cases were not
enabled.
- The real attempt at `d2165dec5d` failed when B aborted on the run
lock. Its credential and bucket were removed; all three provider
sandboxes were independently confirmed absent. The next real attempt at
`aae8a53d01` failed a different readiness gate while a run was preparing
skill pins. That race now has a failing-before regression; all 33
readiness, durable-file and managed-skill tests pass after the fix. Its
owned resources are cleaned. The `a15a12651c` live attempt passed both
web replacements: 765 reads, 78 saves and 78 verified saves with zero
HTTP probe failures. The first three turns preserved the provider
session and native terminal contract. The fourth continuation failed
because a safely suspended remote Runner was treated as live/idle; that
distinct recovery gap is being handled in a follow-up. All three owned
sandboxes were independently confirmed absent. No claim of full Railway
qualification yet.

## Risks

- The new fingerprint shape may reset a session once when upgrading from
older fingerprint metadata. It is stable across subsequent cache
replacements.
- A versioned skill is identified by its immutable selected version;
materialization and admission still enforce availability. Unversioned
skills retain their existing path boundary.
- A native terminal describes the accepted execution result. Workspace
and issue settlement remain separate authorities.
- This does not yet prove the ten-deploy staging campaign, natural
database autosuspension or the production canary.

context-window size are not exposed in this session.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18518, #18529, #18533.

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

**Paperclip version or commit**

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

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

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

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

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The web server owns request handling and remote execution
coordination.
> - Deployment must start a ready replacement while the old server still
serves.
> - An outage test does not prove that two live servers can overlap
safely.
> - This pull request adds a separate Product E2E cell for that
boundary.
> - The existing run, file, recovery, and retained-session checks still
apply.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18518. The runtime prerequisite is merged; this PR qualifies its
ephemeral server and deployment contracts.

## What Changed

- Add the explicit `rolling-web-deployment` Codex Daytona workflow.
- Start independent A/B/C homes and compiled builds behind a test
ingress.
- Wait for readiness before routing, then drain and delete the old home.
- Observe active authority before handoff and use the existing read-only
recovery oracle.
- Require ordinary reads and saves to succeed throughout replacement.
Read back every accepted save exactly once.
- Preserve the five-minute outage suites and their existing validators.
- Add a model-free supervisor smoke and an unready replacement control.
- Require graceful exit before deleting an old home; forced cleanup
cannot satisfy the oracle.
- Preserve a durable Stop through lease release/expiry until the
recovered execution owner acknowledges it. Permit only fenced
reattachment of the original execution for Stop cleanup; submit no new
turn.
- Exclude events saved by A during shutdown from evidence of B making
progress.

## Verification

- E2E TypeScript check passed.
- Affected harness checks: 143 passed. Catalog, fixture and report
checks: 120 passed.
- Actual supervisor smoke passed two replacements: 436 reads, 45 saves,
zero request failures, and confirmed owned resource cleanup.
- B became ready in 18.7 seconds; C became ready in 109.2 seconds. A
prior C timeout remains failed evidence.
- Fresh browser proof: 11 checks passed, 246 reads, 50 acknowledged
saves, zero failures, 1,058ms reconnect, both old homes deleted and
cleanup confirmed.
- Stop lease-gap regression: three PostgreSQL delivery tests passed with
a simulated provider edge. Current server TypeScript build/vendoring
passed.
- Full harness: 5,814 passed, 17 failed, four skipped. Two shutdown
races passed the focused file; two report timeouts passed an isolated
42-test rerun. Onboarding/workflow-security/Pi/date-expired fixtures are
unchanged on inspected master; the host embedded PostgreSQL fixture
remains a setup limitation. This is not a green full local suite.
- CI at `172509b8be` passed all gates. Greptile is 5/5 with every review
thread resolved. The earlier access-service race failure passed its
isolated regression and the subsequent full CI.
- Final review corrections: six focused executor cases, three PostgreSQL
command-delivery cases, 19 harness cases and server/E2E typechecks
passed.
- Three live attempts failed before agent creation: two harness setup
gaps were fixed, then provider authentication failed. The saved OpenAI
key returns 401; a refresh is pending. The Daytona probe reported
cleanup uncertain, and no sandbox with that attempt label was found
through the authenticated staging manager. No live model execution is
claimed.
- Live Runner overlap, released-container qualification and hosted
deployment proof remain pending. Merging this opt-in qualification lane
does not claim those results.

## Risks

- The source lane shares workspace dependencies and does not establish
container packaging correctness.
- The live workflow needs an explicitly owned S3 bucket, PostgreSQL,
pinned remote image and provider credentials.
- Qualification cleanup stops all owned processes after failure. A
failed replacement must not be reported as a pass.

## Model Used

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

**Current behavior**

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

**Proposed behavior**

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

**Reason and benefit**

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 050365e09d Preserve native workspace files after lifecycle Stop (#18517)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent termination must stop execution and preserve unfinished
workspace files.
> - A native run can acknowledge a lifecycle Stop, then finish without
an accepted result.
> - The file preservation worker required a board actor even when the
exact native Stop receipt was valid.
> - This left a prepared remote workspace allocated without a file
recovery action.
> - This pull request admits the exact audited receipt for file
preservation only.
> - The existing recovery service can then save the files and stop the
same allocation without another agent turn.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A cancelled native run can have a terminal, unowned coordinator and a
prepared remote workspace. Agent lifecycle cancellation records a valid
run-only Stop receipt without a board user. The preservation worker
rejects that receipt because it uses the board Stop predicate. The
source lease remains active. A resolved execution watchdog does not
supply the missing file recovery action.

**Steps to reproduce**

Seed a cancelled native run with a terminal-failure coordinator, no
result or owner, an acknowledged and audited run-only Stop, and a
prepared remote workspace. Omit board attribution. Start the registered
cancellation preservation worker. Before this change, it records no
workspace recovery marker.

**Expected behavior**

Record file recovery for the exact bound allocation. Keep the cancelled
result, accounting, task state and watchdog history. Use the normal
recovery service to stop, save and clean up that allocation without
another provider turn.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on source `1e8e32290c657227857aeda2620a73db52bab4f2` with
real local PostgreSQL 17. The observed deployment uses a sandbox
provider and remote workspace storage. Related current workspace work:
#18514. Public PR and issue searches found no duplicate repair.

## What Changed

- Expose the existing exact run-only Stop receipt check. Reject empty
audit identifiers.
- Use that receipt only in cancelled workspace preservation. Keep board
Stop and continuation checks unchanged.
- Defer preservation while the run still holds a live controller lease.
- Schedule that wait at the actual controller lease expiry. A lease
renewal observed under the preservation lock also sets the next
deadline.
- Add a PostgreSQL regression for the remote-workspace-only lifecycle
record, resolved watchdog history, normal recovery admission, ownership
controls, rollback and idle behavior.
- Document the separate file recovery obligation and its physical
cleanup limits.

## Verification

- Before the fix: the registered-worker PostgreSQL regression fails
because the file recovery marker is absent.
- After the original repair at `6fd1042efd`: 20/20 focused tests and all
five sibling suites pass, 320/320 tests. The exact-head server build and
typecheck pass.
- The repository reviewer then found that a live controller caused a
fixed 30-second retry. Both the existing-lease and real row-lock renewal
cases fail against that source. The new
`adb1d4eccdd48be4c86906d5bd111a6e39f20191` schedules the actual recorded
deadline before locking and after the locked reread. The lock still
enforces the ownership guard.
- At `adb1d4eccd`: all 22 focused PostgreSQL controls pass. The directly
affected retention and board receipt sibling suites also pass, 124/124
tests across three files. They prove no intermediate reads or
transactions before expiry, preservation after expiry, and no extra
execution. Server typecheck and the exact-head server build pass.
- Map checks, module boundary checks and `git diff --check` pass.
- Run `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/services/native-runtime/native-cancelled-workspace-preservation.test.ts
server/src/services/native-runtime/native-failed-workspace-recovery.test.ts
server/src/services/acknowledged-native-stop.test.ts` with the supported
external test-database variable set to a disposable local PostgreSQL
database. The earlier broader run also covered run control and workspace
recovery.
- Exact-head [canonical
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41274963476)
completed successfully. All 59 current-head checks are terminal with
zero failures; required `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e` pass. Both
[Greptile](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18517#issuecomment-6553528545)
and the [repository
assessment](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18517#issuecomment-6553542139)
reviewed exact `adb1d4eccd` at 5/5, with zero findings or unresolved
threads. The repository assessment's check concludes `NEUTRAL`; the
validated assessment itself is 5/5. Earlier reviews, including the valid
4/5 deadline finding at `6fd1042efd`, remain in review history. The
[earlier CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41273965963)
is also retained. No old result substitutes for a current-head gate.
- Real sandbox recovery and physical cleanup remain unverified. Earlier
failed QA outcomes remain failed. This PR changes no test grade or
historical row.
- Repo-wide local tests and typecheck were not run. The focused server
checks cover this change; canonical CI supplies the remaining repository
gates.

## Risks

- The newly admitted receipt permits only file preservation. It cannot
authorize a continuation, accept a native result or certify provider
termination.
- Recovery still requires exact company, task, run, lease, allocation
and workspace bindings. Accepted results and live owners remain with
their existing owners.
- Provider or storage failure can leave recovery pending. The source
must remain retained until saved-file and physical termination receipts
exist.

DottaandPaperclip 66e8fab944 fix: complete native chat responses and improve API discovery (#18364)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip must perform work and report its outcome accurately.
> - A chat response and its delegated or operator-owned work are
separate stages.
> - Native chat contracts instead required literal completion of the
user's whole request.
> - Agents kept searching or waiting even when a truthful handoff should
finish the response.
> - OpenCode also has separate acknowledgement backlog and
empty-response failure paths.
> - This PR aligns chat completion with its current stage and makes
OpenCode completion truthful.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18098 for retained OpenCode evidence and #18377 for separate eval
setup, oracle and reporting repairs.

**What happened?** Real pinned OpenCode 1.18.34 reproduced an MCP
timeout behind 800 text fragments. Pilot
[41222196525](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41222196525)
separately exposed a fabricated successful reply after a reasoning-only
response. Later restart attempts timed out without an answer. Their
native criterion literally required restarting the instance, although
the chat instructions and authority required an operator handoff.
General authority guidance alone did not resolve it.

**Expected behavior:** A standing chat completes its current authorized
response. It performs and verifies permitted actions, verifies delegated
handoffs, or explains the specific unavailable action and operator path.
The worker's task remains separate. Ordinary execution tasks must still
complete their requested work. Empty provider responses must not become
invented success.

**Version and reproduction:** Actual pinned OpenCode and native Rust
Runner, with retained full-stack AWS attempts. Product baseline master
`51ea624344`. This PR adds no historical catalog to master.

## What Changed

- Build standing-chat completion contracts from the server-owned
conversation identity. Scope each current request to the response stage;
preserve request text, criterion IDs, order, human-response scope and
source revisions. Require verified authorized actions and truthful
handoffs. Ordinary task contracts stay strict. Existing admitted inputs
retain their saved contract during recovery; new contract content uses
the existing revision/hash mechanism.
- Guide prospective defaults to their owning resource and preserve
existing work unless backfill is requested. Guide unavailable
board/operator operations to the supported handoff. These are general
chat instructions with no eval identities or expected answers.
- Batch adjacent assistant text for at most 50 ms and 4,000 UTF-8 bytes.
Preserve text, metadata and order; flush before non-text frames and
shutdown.
- Give an empty OpenCode response one correction within its existing
turn, model, reasoning, context and deadline. Accept actual completed
answer parts with incomplete headers. Preserve actual active tool work,
bound idle evidence grace and fail truthfully if correction stays empty.
- Reject empty OpenCode terminals in Rust without actual prose or an
accepted semantic result. Never invent successful replies or evidence.
Refresh generated project-discovery contracts.
- Preserve accurate public API-discovery descriptions for existing
project defaults and managed instance restart operations, including
their field scope and authority limits.

## Verification

**Qualified: [pilot
41256592937](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41256592937)
passes 3/3, with all 35 independent checks passing.**

| Case | Checks | Full case duration | Evidence and cleanup |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Instance restart | 9/9 | 140.1 s | complete |
| Project defaults | 11/11 | 204.2 s | complete |
| Project work | 15/15 | 204.0 s | complete |

All three are original-attempt results from source
`c51e079f7f2364305b131ffd549e263ff78c5335`, containing the exact product
files from `13c2b61f31d873a475ea0c3c026b19926ff42301`. Actual saved
conversation contracts were inspected, as were ordinary native worker
contracts where present. Each protected archive includes the actual API
state and final PNG; cleanup completes. Original queries,
`openrouter/deepseek/deepseek-v4.1-flash-1017`, finite case clocks,
concurrency one and zero eval retries are preserved. Earlier passes do
not transfer into this qualification.

Both current heads pass all checks: product **62** (56 success, one
neutral, five skipped), catalog **56** (54 success, one neutral, one
skipped). Both have exact-head Greptile **5/5**, zero unresolved review
threads and clean mergeability. The three trusted private-evidence
protocol files remain byte-identical to the dispatch workflow. Raw
evidence stays protected.

- **2,044 API discovery tests pass.** Red controls showed that “restart
instance” selected unrelated drain/settings operations and “save project
defaults” selected repository replacement. Accurate public summaries now
rank the existing operations correctly; route registration preserves
descriptions. No endpoint, permission or field behavior changes.
- **112 real-database, authenticated HTTP, native Runner and OpenAPI
consumer tests pass locally**, using disposable task-owned Docker
PostgreSQL. It was removed afterward; shared IPC was untouched. These
cover persisted contract selection, admitted native input and the model
envelope together. The isolated CI suites also pass.
- **77 focused contract/input/context tests pass.** Red controls catch
the wrong conversation predicate; canonical identity requires both agent
and user IDs, including the actual heartbeat projection. Ordinary tasks,
agent-only issues and planner tasks remain strict. Coalesced requests
preserve criterion identities, source hashes and human-response scope.
- **144 OpenCode driver tests pass**; native core **441 pass, one
ignored**; packaging **56 pass, six skipped**. Server typecheck and
build pass.
- Real pinned OpenCode/native Runner: a delayed 25-second
acknowledgement completes within the original 30-second MCP deadline.
The text-fragment control changes 817 notifications / 54.1 seconds /
timeout to 45 / 19.0 seconds / accepted finish. Separate fast,
six-minute and real authenticated API probes complete 32 tool calls plus
finish. These do not reproduce every remaining historical MCP timeout,
and no common cause is claimed for all such failures.

Retained failures remain attributed to their original source. Earlier
runs exposed fabricated empty-response success, prospective-default
backfill, a literal whole-task chat criterion, fixture readiness and
oracle/reporting defects. The immediately preceding
[41250502608](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41250502608),
product `c0bf249807` / source `7b1de24ce1`, is **1/3**: work 15/15;
restart 4/9 with the repaired contract actually admitted but no answer;
defaults timed out before settlement, then exceeded the unchanged 256
MiB original-evidence allowance. Defaults domain behavior on that
attempt remains inconclusive. #18377 retains the full attempt ledger,
including missing archives and pre-paid cancellations. The fresh 3/3
establishes these selected outcomes; it does not establish full-catalog
reliability.

## Risks

The shared contract change applies to standing native chats across
providers. It changes model instructions and completion scope, while
permission, approval and review gates remain enforced by their existing
owners. Incorrect model claims remain possible; the product evals
independently require actual mutations, native work and delivery. The
correction adds at most one provider request within the existing
deadline; text batching can delay adjacent text by 50 ms. Three
qualified attempts do not establish full-catalog reliability.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with repository inspection, tool use, code
execution and live eval tooling. Exact hosted model revision and
context-window size are not exposed.

DottaandPaperclip b889ac39b7 fix: serialize native completion replies and bounded retries (#18502)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents and their work.
> - A delegated task reports its result to the source conversation
through a durable completion outbox.
> - Native execution can succeed before the presentation worker saves
the accepted final reply.
> - The outbox treated that short interval as a missing answer and
cleared the target run.
> - The presentation worker then rejected the valid answer because its
delivery no longer belonged to that run.
> - This change retains the existing target for one fixed presentation
grace while accepted presentation is pending.
> - The existing presentation owner can save the reply without another
model run or more budget.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A completion-delivery retry can run immediately after a native callback
succeeds. It clears the callback's delivery target before the
presentation worker saves the accepted answer. The reply then fails with
`chat_completion_superseded`. A daily run limit correctly blocks the
unnecessary replacement run, leaving the conversation active without its
saved answer.

**Expected behavior**

The outbox must retain its current target and attempt while that exact
native run has accepted presentation work. The existing presentation
worker must save the answer once, acknowledge the delivery, and settle
the conversation. Existing actor, session, result, digest, budget and
retry checks must remain enforced.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Accept a native DONE result and current-turn final message for a
completion callback.
2. Run its due completion-outbox handler after terminal projection but
before reply presentation.
3. Run the existing presentation worker. Before this fix it rejects the
reply because the outbox has cleared the target.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `b7f1c3769c00a107ffe4128b48b0ef8cc452cf3f` through the
real PostgreSQL outbox and presentation services. The reported failure
remains preserved. A new QA run is required after deployment; local
tests do not qualify the deployed fix.

Related: #17696 schedules accepted-response recovery. #18118 preserves
canonical completion receipts. #18364 handles provider output and
response-stage contracts. Those changes do not protect the
completion-outbox target during this interval.

## What Changed

- Defer a new execution attempt when the existing selector finds pending
presentation for the same company, conversation, run and agent.
- Retain the queued delivery target and attempt with an atomic
compare-and-set. Await the existing scoped worker notification before
that write in the same transaction.
- Serialize retry with reply insertion under the existing
child-task-first lock. Recheck locked task Done state and the delivery's
stable completion-event version, status, target, attempt and exact
lease. A delivered, retargeted or newer-claim winner prevents another
wake. Admit the next attempt only after the winning transaction commits
and releases its locks.
- Limit presentation grace to five existing one-minute delivery leases,
measured from the original run `finishedAt`. Clamp both the delivery
lease and the native retry deadline to that immutable limit. Repeated
sweeps cannot extend it. After expiry, resume the existing retry,
exhaustion and daily-limit checks.
- Keep publication authority in the existing materializer. The candidate
query only defers a retry. Read the freshly reloaded delivery status,
target and saved receipt after acquiring its child-task lock.
- Fence both hold and retry writes with the exact claimed event version,
attempt and lease. A stalled old hold cannot overwrite a newer lease.
- Keep completion-event identity separate from mutable task ownership
versions. Ordinary Done reassignment preserves its existing completion
event; a real reopen retains normal supersession.
- Add real PostgreSQL coverage for the observed ordering, outer commit
and rollback, one saved reply, conversation settlement, idle SQL, retry
boundaries and superseded deliveries.
- Document the completion-outbox and presentation contract.

## Verification

- Before the fix, the real PostgreSQL regression fails with
`chat_completion_superseded` in `existingChatCompletionReply` when the
outbox handles the terminal run first. After the fix, the same test
passes without a new model wake.
- Focused command: `vitest run --project @paperclipai/server
server/src/services/native-runtime/agent-chat-response-recovery.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/chat-completion-delivery.test.ts` — **95 pass** on
`45f53a8c32fcca0bbdacf717286d37e30c1ba308`, using a disposable database
on an owned local PostgreSQL 17 container.
- Controls preserve retries for failed, cancelled, missing-final,
missing-accepted-result, old-generation, foreign-company and
foreign-agent targets. Reset or superseded task versions retain
supersession. Digest and external-context declines never authorize a
reply, never extend the fixed window, and leave it at exact expiry. An
external native deadline cannot extend the limit. A valid reply at the
last millisecond saves once without another model run.
- The first reviewed head `b6f9c484b9567bc60af6d684c04e00058c1048ed`
received Greptile 5/5 but an independent 3/5 review correctly found an
unbounded hold. Three new real PostgreSQL controls failed on that
source. This head adds the fixed bound and makes them pass. The earlier
review, controls and CI remain retained; its review score does not
qualify the new head.
- The bounded predecessor `7300d2a978a5c4b3c13d85899bed3e98ae3c49fa`
received an independent 4/5 review that correctly found an
expiry-versus-in-flight-reply race. A real PostgreSQL advisory gate
reproduced it after reply authority checked the delivery but before
insertion. The retry lock and exact claim CAS now make that control
pass. Both orderings, outer rollback, delivered/retargeted/superseded
winners and competing lease claims pass. The next-wake test can acquire
both parent and child locks, proving dispatch occurs after release. The
valid 4/5 review and failing control remain retained.
- At `39dd86e8f51d937cf382b2757736e0477201d21d`, both reviews found
valid remaining defects: the reply helper still used its pre-lock
delivery snapshot, and ordinary Done reassignment could stall a delivery
by changing the task version. Four real PostgreSQL controls fail on that
source and pass here: concurrent retry-first, a newly saved receipt
after waiting, and reassignment within grace or at expiry. A real reopen
through the issue service still supersedes the old event.
- A later coordinator review found the hold CAS still lacked the attempt
and lease fences already present on retry. A real PostgreSQL producer
barrier reproduced an old hold shortening a newer claim from 120 seconds
to 60 seconds. The same exact claim fences now prevent that overwrite.
This failed control is retained; no old run was blindly retried.
- The real worker saves one exact run-owned reply and acknowledges the
delivery only after outer commit. An outer rollback publishes no reply.
After settlement, advancing the scheduler clock by 60 seconds causes no
further SQL.
- Module boundaries, map structure, `git diff --check` and the canonical
server build (including TypeScript and Runner vendor preparation) pass.
The first local build stopped in the host package-manager setup; the
installed pinned pnpm completed the build. Full repository typecheck,
test and build gates pass in current-head CI; they have not all been run
locally.
- Final local checks also caught a test cleanup type error (TS2677) and
one 94/95 readiness failure: the worker saves its comment before
post-commit conversation settlement finishes. The test-only follow-up
removes an invalid cleanup type predicate and waits on the existing
bounded worker-quiet check before reading final state. All assertions
and the same five-second bound remain. Source
`45f53a8c32fcca0bbdacf717286d37e30c1ba308` passes all 95 cases and the
canonical server build. The earlier failures are retained.
- The final policy cleanup removes only 15 newly added narrative comment
lines (seven service, eight test), as required by CONTRIBUTING.md. Both
TypeScript AST signatures and `removeComments=true` emitted JavaScript
are identical to tested source `45f53a8c32`. This was checked with the
TypeScript 6.0.3 API and the installed native TypeScript 7.0.2 compiler.
Assertions, timeouts and behavior are unchanged; the 95 tests were not
repeated for identical compiled code.
- The superseded `45f53a8c32` CI run recorded two 15-second timeouts in
attention-retention cases. That failure remains retained. The test and
its ten inspected owner or support files are identical on the tested
master revisions. The canonical base run passes all 53 attention cases,
and the comparison PR passes the same server lane, including those two
cases in 9.3 and 9.8 seconds. This does not establish the timeout cause.
Current-head CI is a new run after the required comment cleanup, not a
retry of the failed source.
- The optional Paperclip review bot ended neutral without a completed
assessment because its execution paused. That result is not an approval.
A separate [independent read-only
audit](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18502#issuecomment-6550216227)
reports 5/5 confidence on exact head
`9cfd3f74c69cc7a2da7b4ee5d1fca80f15d4af0c`, with no findings. Its manual
assessment does not replace or relabel the incomplete bot result.
- Current head `9cfd3f74c69cc7a2da7b4ee5d1fca80f15d4af0c` has a fresh
Greptile 5/5 review with no open threads. [CI run
41249007430](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41249007430)
passes all primary jobs and both required gates (`ci / verify` and `ci /
e2e`). All 59 PR contexts are terminal, with no failed contexts. The
actual CI checkout is `18db9e2750d6a799f26b5b8ba31bcccbea254227`, which
combines master `681f7b77262a9df6c1b4aad55291bf960061e491` with this
exact head. Fresh QA verification on the deployed application remains
required before claiming the live failure is fixed.

## Risks

A candidate can retain a delivery whose stricter presentation checks
still prevent publication, but only within the fixed five-minute window.
The existing worker keeps publication authority. If a valid reply
remains unavailable at expiry, the normal callback retry may require
another admitted model run; the original result and completed child work
remain preserved. Existing retry, exhaustion, model-run and spending
limits still apply. Failed or cancelled execution and genuinely missing
accepted output retain the existing retry path.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with repository inspection, tool use and
code execution. The runtime does not expose the exact hosted revision or
context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip b7f1c3769c feat(native): record verified provider-pack session admission (#18469)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Remote native sessions can use an installed pack or a retained
earlier pack.
> - The current app revision does not identify the pack that a session
admitted.
> - Core already verifies the selected pack and binds its launch
artifacts.
> - Normal run records lack a closed receipt for that admitted
selection.
> - This pull request records that receipt after session admission and
attachment.
> - Operators can compare the actual Core admission identity with their
expected pack.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17749 for protected provider-pack selection and #18343 for
retained controller recovery. The related OpenCode producer repair is
#18456. Those changes do not publish the closed run receipt added here.
A search found no existing `nativeProviderPackAdmission` PR.

**What happened?**

Core can admit a compatible installed provider pack with a source
revision that differs from the current app. A retained session can also
keep its original pack. The normal run record does not show the admitted
pack digest, proxy digest, and source revision. An expected launch path
or current app revision cannot fill that evidence gap.

**Expected behavior**

The run has a closed, server-owned receipt after actual session
admission and attachment. The first receipt remains immutable history. A
separate current-proof state verifies only the actual current admission
epoch. Retained recovery needs positive original provenance, and missing
legacy evidence stays unknown.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Select and verify an installed pack whose digest differs from the
current app pack.
2. Open the native session successfully.
3. Inspect the normal run profile for a bound admission receipt.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The original selected base was
`8bcc5a01edd5d87540401521e6f30d3df43e1848`. The branch now includes
exact actual prerequisite parent
`3ee4c5b6138da82d0b1f51aa010540561bf43c22`; the PR diff against it is
the five receipt, executor, test and documentation files.

**Deployment mode**

Core remote native execution with provider-pack selection and retained
session attachment.

## What Changed

- Retain the verified selected pack identity only after a backend
returns the matching admitted session.
- Publish `runnerProfileJson.nativeProviderPackAdmission` from the
session callback after attachment succeeds.
- Mark the receipt with `stage: session_admitted` and `authority:
core_verified_selection`.
- Store bound company, agent, run, session, runner, logical
`runnerEnvironmentLeaseId`, pack digest, OpenCode proxy digest, and
source revision fields. Retained attachments identify
`inheritedFromRunId`. The logical Runner scope is distinct from the
physical environment lease.
- Lock the current coordinator claim before the profile write. Check
owner, attempt, generation, controller boot, lease expiry, phase, and
absence of an accepted result. Merge JSON fields without replacing other
profile data.
- Restore retained metadata only from the exact prior closed Core
receipt, positively verified prior state and matching retained binding.
Capture same-run prior provenance from the locked claim row before
invalidation; cross-run recovery reads only the exact source. Legacy
absence remains unknown while recovery continues.
- Preserve the first receipt as history. Atomically mark a new opaque
admission epoch pending in the existing mandatory claim transaction.
Publish current verification only for the matching claim and epoch after
actual attachment; changed or unsupported admission becomes unknown
without blocking authorized execution.
- Preserve synchronous session publication and quarantine ordering
before the best-effort receipt write. Fresh replacement selects its
newly verified pack; a captured retained-process flag cannot relabel the
replacement with an older pack. Preserve the existing private pack
authority even when a local dirty revision is ineligible for the closed
receipt.
- Add focused admission, recovery, identity, PostgreSQL ownership, lock,
and JSON-preservation tests. Document the receipt contract.

## Verification

- RED: the actual managed-backend path verified and admitted an
installed pack but had no closed metadata. Failed open published no
evidence. Additional controls fail when retained recovery invents
missing history or dirty-revision eligibility gates the existing private
authority.
- RED calibration: removing mandatory pending invalidation fails the
actual pre-admission control; reusing the retained flag for fresh
replacement falsely restores the old pack. Removing the epoch fence
fails the real PostgreSQL stale-callback case; reintroducing a
receipt-specific execution error fails both authorized
Runner/logical-lease replacement controls.
- GREEN: 49 focused Core tests, all 33 admission identity/transaction
tests (20 pure and 13 PostgreSQL), and all 23 existing private-authority
tests passed on exact integrated head
`165a9096cf3e0d34d2db1e6b52960ad4ac0ad132`. No all-skipped run is
counted.
- Final test-only head `11ac34baf00552a5d322b5f5f1a8e491859cacec` adds
the positive executor-callback SQL-writer wiring control, exact
session/identity/claim/epoch assertions, profile preservation, and
null-session zero-write check. Removing only the production writer call
makes it fail on a missing receipt. All70 focused identity/Core tests
pass with this closure; production code, the13 PostgreSQL tests and
the23 private-authority tests are byte-identical to the qualified165
source (106 distinct passing controls across the combined proof).
- The PostgreSQL tests used an owned loopback-only cached Postgres 17
container with the supported `PAPERCLIP_TEST_POSTGRES_ADMIN_URL` helper
and aliases to current DB/shared source. The container was removed
afterward. They cover immutable history, JSON preservation, stale claims
and epochs, expired leases, terminal runs, changed/unsupported
replacements, and a failed write retaining pending proof.
- Historical pushed `f7f12fe` CI executed all 24 earlier admission
tests, including nine PostgreSQL cases, in server5. Its warm-quarantine
failure exposed the new hook-ordering issue fixed here. The same run
also encountered a six-character UUID fixture-prefix collision and the
independently repaired cached issue-link browser selector; those
historical failures are not claimed as green.
- Node 24.22.2 and Vitest 5.0.3. The credential-free normal QA runtime
import preflight passes with networking disabled. Map contracts, token
gates and `git diff --check` pass.
- Local TypeScript validation still sees stale borrowed Runner/shared
declaration mismatches outside the changed ranges. No diagnostics remain
in the new helper or changed test/hook ranges; clean current-head CI is
required.
- Repository-wide typecheck, full tests and build were not completed
locally. A full local executor attempt reached this host's unsupported
native PostgreSQL listener and was interrupted; its result is not
counted. Canonical run `41214512239`, attempt 2, is successful on exact
final head `11ac34baf00552a5d322b5f5f1a8e491859cacec`. All 59 checks are
terminal: 55 success, 3 skipped and 1 neutral; none failed or pending.
The actual Linux suites execute all 33 admission tests (including 13
PostgreSQL cases) and all 1,022 executor tests successfully. The
[original five failures and bounded unchanged-source
controls](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18469#issuecomment-6545593767)
remain preserved. One failed-only request was made; GitHub expanded the
reusable workflow call and dependents. No second request was made. Fresh
exact-head Greptile review is 5/5, all review threads are resolved, and
the PR is mergeable.
- These local results claim no live provider admission, rollout or
recovery.

## Risks

- The authority is Core's verified selection plus successful session
admission. It is not an independent provider statement or continuous
runtime measurement.
- Receipt fields cannot grant execution or replace the existing
provider, process, lease, workspace, or recovery checks.
- Legacy missing receipts and unavailable database reads remain unknown.
The current release cannot label an older admitted pack.
- The closed receipt requires a clean, 40-character hexadecimal source
revision. Verified local `-dirty` packs still execute and retain their
existing private recovery authority; their closed admission proof stays
`unknown`, so it cannot certify an immutable source revision.
- The first receipt is historical. Consumers must require current state
`verified`; pending or unknown cannot certify the current pack. Changed
Runner scope or pack evidence does not add execution policy.
- A receipt save failure leaves the atomically invalidated state
pending. The existing artifact authority, cancellation, workspace and
process checks remain responsible for execution safety.
- The receipt adds no manifest, environment, credential, or filesystem
path to the run record.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, code editing, and tool
use. The session does not expose an exact model build ID or
context-window capacity.

Dotta 12b0cc6304 fix(chat): recover committed native Agent Chat replies (#18465)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent work and keeps its results available to
users.
> - Agent Chat needs a visible reply before the conversation can wait
for more input.
> - Native result commitment and reply presentation are separate
obligations.
> - A completed conversation can retain a valid final message without a
saved reply.
> - Existing reply recovery excludes these completed conversation turns.
> - This pull request repairs that persistence gap through the existing
recovery worker.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A native Agent Chat turn completed successfully and saved its workspace.
Its accepted result and final assistant message were durable, but no
reply appeared in the conversation. The chat stayed active. The
deployment hiring journey in #18351 then reached its deadline while
waiting for the first reply.

**Expected behavior**

Recover the exact accepted turn's final reply once, then use normal
conversation settlement. Keep later user input active. Do not run the
agent again or replace a selected or deleted reply.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create an active conversation with one admitted native turn.
2. Commit an accepted DONE result and a final-channel assistant message
for that exact run, session and turn.
3. Finish workspace finalization before live heartbeat reply
presentation. Leave no saved reply.
4. Run normal response recovery. Before this fix it finds no
conversation candidate and leaves the chat active.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced with actual services at frozen master
`8bcc5a01edd5d87540401521e6f30d3df43e1848`. The production predicate
also exists in the deployed revision that exposed the failure.

Related work: #18351. The broader receipt and recovery work in #18118
and #18409 does not touch these source files.

## What Changed

- Discover unanswered committed Agent Chat turns through the existing
native response presentation worker.
- Recheck company, agent, responsible user, current execution and
conversation generation under the normal transaction locks.
- Require the accepted result digest and an exact final message from the
same native run, session and accepted turn. Keep external publication
authority separate.
- Commit the reply and presentation receipt before normal conversation
settlement. Later input stays active. Recovery does not repeat agent
work.
- Preserve skip decisions and selected or deleted replies. Add database
controls for foreign identity, stale sessions, partial commitment,
duplicates and ordinary internal task behavior.
- Document the recovery boundary in the developer guide.

## Verification

- Real-service RED/GREEN uses all 418 canonical migrations in isolated
PGlite and the exact new regression fixture. Before the fix: zero
candidates, no reply, recovery returns false and the chat stays active.
After the fix: one candidate, one exact reply, recovery returns true and
the chat waits. A repeat returns false and creates no second reply.
- All 20 canonical regression cases pass locally through a fixture-only
PGlite bridge. Only local database provisioning and `createDb` selection
differ from the normal embedded PostgreSQL fixture. Production services,
SQL queries, transactions, protocol validation and assertions remain
real. Linux embedded PostgreSQL CI is required before merge.
- Focused current-source no-emit typing passes for both production
modules and the new regression file, with normal Express augmentation
and source aliases. The broader local presentation/ownership and
conversation-settlement PGlite bridge run was interrupted before it
reported results; it is not counted as a pass. No repository-wide local
build is claimed from borrowed workspace dependencies. Clean-build CI
and canonical PostgreSQL consumer tests remain required.
- `git diff --check` and the scoped source/test secret scan pass. No
captured run data, credentials or private target identities are
committed.
- No live journey retry, deployment, configuration change or test-plan
admission was performed. The original failed journey remains failed;
this production fix still needs deployed qualification through the
unchanged journey.

- Current-head [canonical Linux
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41207018345)
passed all 57 terminal checks with no failure or pending check. The new
20-case database regression actually passed in [server shard
8](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41207018345/job/124555006090),
at 13:59:25 UTC (2,643 ms). Typecheck, build and the existing consumer
lanes passed. Fresh [Greptile
review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18465#issuecomment-6544208002)
on exact `f32a432e10b377ae6277d6f728995d5fedcf9d7b` is 5/5; the
review-thread inventory is empty with no pagination. No live deployment
or journey pass is claimed by these checks.

## Risks

Eligible active conversations can gain a previously missing reply.
Recovery accepts only the exact saved final message under its accepted
result and current conversation identity. It does not run a model,
repeat hiring or change a prior test grade. Reply persistence precedes
waiting-state settlement; existing conversation recovery retains
ownership of a later interrupted settlement. No schema or public API
changes are included.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The session does not expose a more specific
backend model ID or fixed context window. Used reasoning, repository
tools, TypeScript and real database test execution.

DottaandPaperclip 12d8c3043e fix(native): fence retries when replaying an audited Stop (#18457)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native runs keep Stop intent and retry state in durable records.
> - A provider error can leave a failed retry with an earlier
acknowledged Stop.
> - The replay path returned the existing receipt before it closed that
retry.
> - This pull request applies the existing retry fence to the validated
replay.
> - The same Stop can settle without another provider cancellation or a
new receipt.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #14733 for the related caller-bound Stop contract. This change
covers a later retry that already has a Stop acknowledgement. The older
CI-only #14743 is not a production delivery PR.

**What happened?**

A failed native run can have a retryable coordinator and an earlier
audited Stop. A repeat Stop returns the old acknowledgement without
moving the coordinator to `terminal_failure`. The final
failed-to-cancelled transition requires that fence, so the Stop cannot
settle through that path.

**Expected behavior**

A valid replay closes the same retry and keeps the original intent and
acknowledgement. It does not send a second provider cancellation.
Physical stop and workspace cleanup still require their own evidence.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Store a failed native run with a `retryable_failure` coordinator.
2. Store a matching run-scoped Stop with a dispatched acknowledgement
and audit IDs.
3. Call `cancelNativeSession` for that same run and inspect the
coordinator.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on public master `f2db909393de124caf6a5380a52d4e0e1d621661`.

**Deployment mode**

Core native execution. The regression uses the real cancellation
executor with controlled persistence and provider boundaries.

## What Changed

- Reuse the existing guarded coordinator fence for a validated Stop
replay.
- Test repeated replay, unchanged receipts, one fence, and no second
provider cancellation.
- Reject foreign company, run, issue, scope, effect, and missing-audit
receipts before any write.
- Check that an acknowledged Stop with an unconfirmed remote lease still
fails the physical-stop guard.
- Document the separate retry fence and physical-cleanup requirements.

## Verification

- RED on the selected public base: the new executor case returned
success but left the coordinator in `retryable_failure` with a future
retry. One case executed and failed for that assertion.
- GREEN: 62 focused tests passed across
`native-session-executor.test.ts` and
`native-cancellation-request.test.ts`. These include ownership, caller
conflict, changed-phase, and receipt controls.
- Command from `server/`: `node ../node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-cancellation-request.test.ts -t
'native session cancellation|caller-bound native cancellation|failed
native retry caller admission'`.
- Canonical Linux CI passed all 1,018 executor cases and all 32
caller-cancellation cases. The exact file completion lines are in
[server shard
2](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41203989386/job/124545366271)
and [server shard
10](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41203989386/job/124545366219).
- Node 24.22.2 and Vitest 5.0.3. Map contract checks and `git diff
--check` pass.
- Local dependencies are linked from an existing checkout. Full local
TypeScript validation reports older Runner/shared declarations that lack
current Kimi and continuity APIs. The changed ranges have no
diagnostics. The canonical clean CI Typecheck + Release Registry gate
passed.
- A broader two-file run was stopped when an unchanged integration case
tried to start embedded Postgres and hit the host listen restriction. It
is not a passing full-suite result. No host settings or other services
were changed.
- Repository-wide `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm test:run`, and `pnpm build`
were not completed locally. Current-head CI passed against clean source
and dependencies.
- Fresh [Greptile
review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18457#issuecomment-6543772487)
on `dbc1c1a5b71450194d568725592969660864cb5a`: 5/5 with no actionable
findings. The review-thread inventory has no threads and no pagination.
Full [current-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41203989386)
passed: 59 terminal checks, 55 successful, 3 skipped, and 1 neutral. No
failure or pending check remains. Merge status is CLEAN. No live
recovery, rollout, or physical termination is claimed.

## Risks

- A wrong or stale Stop must not close another retry. Existing
run/coordinator locks, caller checks, receipt binding, and the final
compare-and-set remain in place.
- This fix changes logical retry settlement only. Provider termination,
workspace preservation, lease cleanup, and continuation gates remain
separate.
- The regression controls persistence and provider boundaries. It does
not establish the physical state of a remote provider.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, code editing, and tool
use. The session does not expose an exact model build ID or
context-window capacity.

DottaandPaperclip c2971badde perf(server): recover independent native replies concurrently (#18421)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages work for AI agents.
> - A native run can commit its result before its reply is saved.
> - The response recovery worker saves replies from those committed
results.
> - It checks each candidate in series, so one task can delay unrelated
tasks.
> - This pull request checks up to four independent tasks at once.
> - Each task keeps serial checks, and the existing coordinator owns
retries and shutdown.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Recovery of committed native task replies.

**Current behavior**

The worker checks one candidate at a time in a batch of up to 25. A
database lock or a slow read for one task delays replies for other
tasks.

**Proposed behavior**

Check up to four company-and-task groups at once. Check candidates
within each group in their existing order. Keep the current batch limit
and company selection.

**Reason and benefit**

A ready task reply can be saved while another task waits for a database
lock. The change reduces waiting under a reply backlog.

**Breaking changes**

Replies for different tasks can be saved in a different order. There are
no API or schema changes. Other deadline workers keep serial dispatch.

Related work: #17696 adds the recovery worker. #17501 reduces its read
payloads. #18367 adds its timing spans. These changes are already
merged. The PR search found no open change that adds this concurrency.

## What Changed

- Add optional keyed concurrency to the shared scoped deadline worker.
- Enable a limit of four for native response recovery, keyed by company
and task.
- Await all active checks before the pass ends. Retain per-candidate
failure backoff, drain behavior and pending work.
- Test concurrency limits, task order, company separation, drain/resume,
shutdown, retries and idle wake behavior.
- Add a PostgreSQL regression that holds one task's finalization row
lock while a second task saves its exact accepted reply.
- Document the worker's concurrency and sleep contract.

## Verification

- The PostgreSQL lock regression fails with serial dispatch. It passes
with this change. Both accepted replies are saved once after the lock is
released.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/scoped-deadline-work.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/delivery-work-coordinator.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-work-batch.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/deadline-work.test.ts
server/src/services/execution-preparation-timing.test.ts` — 55 tests
pass.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/services/presentation-ownership-read.test.ts` with its
documented dedicated PostgreSQL URL — 21 tests pass. The disposable
database was dropped.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passes.
- `pnpm build` — passes.
- One matched local replay with 25 older pending replies and one fresh
reply used the real worker, a 10-connection PostgreSQL pool and 8 ms
delay in each network direction. The saved fresh reply was first
observed after 29.193 s with serial dispatch and 9.798 s with this
change. All 26 replies were saved exactly once in both runs, with no
worker errors. Both disposable databases were dropped. This is one
synthetic workload pair, not a staging measurement.
- `pnpm test:run` was attempted. Embedded PostgreSQL could not
initialize its template after five attempts, so the broad run was
stopped. The changed PostgreSQL tests pass on the separate local server.
Remote CI is green. This PR does not claim a measured staging speedup.

- The [first CI browser
shard](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41162257463/job/124422204506)
failed during company cleanup after its task assertions and empty-run
check passed. Company deletion hit the
`activity_log_company_id_companies_id_fk` constraint. The fixture uses
paused process agents and reported no runs. The one failed-jobs rerun
passed all 45 browser tests. All CI checks are now green.

## Risks

- Four checks can use more database connections than serial recovery.
The limit applies to this queue only; the batch limit stays at 25.
- The shared helper has more dispatch logic. Its default remains serial.
Tests cover task order, retry deadlines, drain and waiting for active
checks during shutdown.
- This improves reply recovery under backlog or lock contention. It does
not establish a target for total agent-turn latency.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with code editing, tool use and local test
execution. This session does not expose a more specific model ID or
context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 492d537340 fix(native): recover controllers across webserver replacement (#18343)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Native execution runs in a remote Runner while the webserver owns
its controller.
> - Encrypted PRP checkpoints and session snapshots already survive a
webserver restart in Postgres.
> - Ordinary warm and per-turn admission still needs local markers and
supervisor metadata to find that state.
> - Replacing the webserver with an empty native controller directory
can therefore lose a usable retained session.
> - This change adds bounded recovery metadata to the existing snapshot
transaction and reconstructs local projections from the selected durable
source.
> - The benefit is native execution continuity across webserver
replacement, with the existing ownership and agent lifecycle policies.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Native remote controller recovery and retained-session continuation
during a webserver upgrade.

**Subsystem affected**

server/ — native runtime, checkpoint persistence, recovery scheduling
and internal upgrade reporting. Product E2E qualification also changes.

**Current behavior**

Without both the local PRP marker and supervisor file, normal
continuation can return before discovering the saved Postgres
checkpoint. The snapshot already exists in Postgres, but its local reuse
compatibility envelope cannot be reconstructed.

**Proposed behavior**

Select the existing durable source, validate its identity and ownership,
restore its PRP state and supervisor projection, then use normal
authenticated admission. Missing or inconsistent evidence holds
recovery. It does not authorize fresh provider work.

**Reason and benefit**

A replacement webserver must recover active execution and later continue
its retained session without the old server's native files. This is one
component of deployment continuity. HTTP traffic switching, workspace
storage migration and Railway rollout remain separate.

**Breaking changes**

No new public endpoint, schema migration or database pool. The private
run-profile envelope is additive. Disk-independent rollback also
requires a reader for the staged controller format and compact
checkpoint part; the first production release containing these readers
is the floor. Older file-backed sessions need an owner checkpoint or the
bounded internal importer.

**Additional context**

Related foundations: #17401, #17916, #17254, #14621, #14622. The
implementation contract and open acceptance gates are in [the dated
plan](doc/plans/2026-10-30-native-controller-checkpoints.md).

## What Changed

- Persist a versioned recovery envelope, at most 4 KiB, beside the
redacted session snapshot in its existing transaction. Keep it out of
public run projections.
- Compare frozen admission separately from prepared attachment
instructions during staged recovery, preserving exact
template/identity/authority checks.
- Bound the existing lazy checkpoint pool at three connections after
measured two-slot burst backlog; keep request/renewal capacities and SQL
operation counts unchanged. The tuning is a separate commit.
- Discover and restore the exact selected retained source without local
native markers. Preserve the 32-candidate window, progress barriers and
current authority checks.
- Fence snapshot and result writes. Acquire coordinator, issue and run
locks in order and check expiry after lock waits. Combine snapshot
ownership/read work into one statement.
- Reuse existing recovery deadlines and drain/resume scheduling.
Retained-owner waits preserve the original unstarted run and actual
lease deadline. Stop, ownership and provider-progress fences precede
deferral. Add bounded native evidence reporting, retained-source import
and retention protection.
- Admit a settled warm source with an authenticated idle goal-read
suffix while retaining active-work and mixed-authority holds.
- Permit lifecycle `turn.stop` checkpoints after accepted results under
existing ownership fences. Claim the existing successor coordinator
before retiring the old warm session, and stage shared attachments only
after verified retirement. Preserve omitted isolated-home defaults and
existing fresh skill-selection order during recovery without hiding real
configuration changes.
- Carry the exact durable six-field PRP binding during active recovery
after a healthy warm handoff. Keep the Runner mismatch guard and
preserve opaque attachment IDs.
- Preserve an already verified active or idle warm process during remote
preparation; revalidate its proof/liveness and retain later
authenticated PRP attachment. Ordinary resumed leases retain suspension
checks.
- Drain retained source events under their original authority, reconcile
immutable source accounting and block unknown source tool dispatch
before target work.
- Persist compact staged handoff intent through authenticated adoption
and recover direct/listener command-loss windows without another Runner
or duplicate attachment.
- Rebuild suspended lifecycle receipts for resumed prepared tasks, and
retry missing lifecycle reads after partial PRP materialization without
overwriting contradictory evidence.
- Add normal warm/per-turn diskless continuation coverage, real Postgres
races and SQL-cost checks. Add a reproducible paired load workload.
- Give only the explicit outage fixture a 15-minute provider idle
window, with a red/green catalog regression preserving all production
timing and lifecycle policies.
- Publish the goal-less task-session pointer in the existing
post-acceptance terminal checkpoint transaction, with current ownership,
accepted-result, reset and newer-progress fences. Keep a private bound
receipt so late completion cannot duplicate or resurrect publication.
- Use a retained warm sandbox in the dedicated continuity fixture, and
accept an exact output token followed by an explanation. Keep the strict
identity oracle.
- Extend the explicit Daytona cell to a five-minute active outage and
another replacement after completion. Require retained provider
identity, a new tool receipt and a useful follow-up result. Add an owned
loopback Postgres E2E fixture for hosts that cannot start embedded
Postgres.

## Verification

**Merge recommendation — `fc68584ce6231a02e47ecd743f55b036ccea034f`:
ready for the qualified native-controller component.** Full CI, fresh
review, local application paths, controlled performance qualification
and the strict live Linux/Daytona case pass. Independent resource
cleanup is complete. Broader rollout, browser reconnection and the
unexecuted transport/platform combinations remain integration gates.
Integrated 484 passed full local recursive typecheck/build and ordinary
active→completion→cache-loss→C component qualification. Fresh review
then found a valid attached-wake failure: preparation appends attachment
instructions before the verifier compares execution to the frozen
admission. 9f4 fixes that by separately checking the pre-preparation
admission and exact prepared execution. Both hashes are captured
privately per admission; the full template, identity, configuration and
authority checks remain. Its regression fails before the fix; 36 focused
cases, 42 staged source/target cases and server typecheck pass
afterward. The review thread is resolved. Exact-head full CI passes
([run
41168228822](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41168228822):
48 successful jobs, one intended skip); the complete `pnpm test:run`
partitions are forced, with the five native suites in the Runner lane.
This is not a claim that an unsharded local command passed. The fresh
exact-head Greptile check succeeds with 5/5 and all six threads
resolved.

The original two-connection database comparison closes **steady PASS and
burst FAIL**. Every relative CPU/WAL/request-p99 gate passes and all
operations/ownership remain correct, but candidate arm 3 drains in
1,015.99 ms and baseline arm 4 in 1,059.67 ms against the unchanged
1,000 ms absolute gate. Those results remain failed. A separate 2→3→4→2
diagnostic reproduces drain times 1,051.57 / 956.79 / 882.02 / 1,065.72
ms: three is the smallest tested passing cap, and the repeated two-cap
failure survives run-order/cache effects.

Separately reviewable `fc68584ce6` changes the existing lazy checkpoint
pool default to three connections. Request capacity stays ten and
liveness two; idle release, shutdown fencing, transaction counts and
pool count are unchanged. Thirteen DB lifecycle/cap tests and DB
typecheck pass. Full recursive typecheck/build pass at exact fc68584,
with the matching server build stamp. The final paired native
feature-cost comparison explicitly uses the **same cap-three policy and
common current DB factory in both variants**; its baseline is
controlled, not the unmodified historical cap-two configuration.
Original gates and workload counts remain unchanged. The one strict
Linux/Daytona case started at 04:40:56 UTC only after both new profiles
passed; it passed on the first attempt with all 49 workflow checks.
Independent cleanup confirms all three owned sandboxes absent, owned
Postgres/controllers/observer gone, VM terminated, root volume absent
and ephemeral SSH key/agent removed.

**Final controlled cap-three qualification: PASS.** Baseline native
implementation `59da15066a` and candidate `fc68584ce6` use the same
current DB factory and checkpoint policy (request/liveness/checkpoint =
10/2/3). Eight 65-second ABBA arms cover 300 controllers and 10,000
historical tasks. All correctness, absolute and 10% relative gates pass;
original cap-two failures remain unchanged.

| Mode | DB CPU µs/op, baseline → candidate | WAL B/op, baseline →
candidate | DB-request p99 ms, baseline → candidate | Maximum drain |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Steady | 542.40 → 554.83 (+2.29%) | 1509.01 → 1558.27 (+3.26%) |
107.11 → 111.90 (+4.48%) | 26.35 ms |
| Burst | 1036.36 → 1063.11 (+2.58%) | 4153.12 → 4317.64 (+3.96%) |
103.736 → 103.841 (+0.10%) | 930.14 ms |

Every matched arm preserves operation/statement/transaction counts,
including 3,900 PRP and 3,900 snapshot transactions. All three actual
pools are included; there are zero lost owners, missed lease deadlines,
dropped operations or errors. Peak Postgres CPU is 18.31%/9.47% of two
cores and memory 614.29/684.42 MiB (steady/burst). The benchmark uses
one Node process simulating 300 controllers; it does not qualify
two-webserver overlap, HTTP latency or hosted capacity. Its observer SQL
contributes to measured database CPU. The original unmodified cap-two
baseline is separately retained as failed; this cap-three comparison is
explicitly controlled.

The exact final-source 8/512/8,192-chunk test also passes: zero recovery
SQL, transactions or changed rows in each text-only interval, zero idle
SQL, seven lifecycle transactions and twelve changed rows per sample.
Existing lease traffic remains separate. The final ordinary managed
application replay passes active recovery, completion, native-cache
removal and C continuation; its UNKNOWN local debug-daemon provenance
and partial instruction-observer limits remain recorded. The live case
uses the attested Linux producer instead.


**Live qualification: PASS, one attempt, no retries.** Campaign
`native-controller-retained-fix-fc68584ce6-ec2-20261031T044055Z` started
04:40:56 UTC on the exact final Linux webserver source; suite definition
hash `12f9bb97823c1537e43f0398e7cddf39890f77bce7b413ca4dfd944f4a30e5d5`.
The existing immutable image and attested Bookworm Runner artifact are
unchanged.

- A was SIGKILLed and its native cache discarded. B started after
300,149 ms, naturally acquired generation 2, authenticated at 316,624 ms
and resumed at 317,682 ms within the original 420,000 ms grace. The same
active run, Runner, provider PID/start fingerprint and one
submitted/started/accepted turn were preserved; one final
result/terminal and workspace finalization completed, with no
retry/recovery action.
- After active and queued completion, B was SIGKILLed and its native
cache discarded again. C received exactly one ordinary task-comment API
follow-up, completed a new tool and produced a useful reply while
preserving native/provider/Runner identities. This closes the earlier
failed post-C gate. A separate C OS-process PID field was not exported;
the physical-PID proof is specifically A→B.
- Four distinct results were accepted and published; all four
finalizations committed at attempt 1, all four accounting-v2 projections
settled, and the task-session pointer advanced to C. The coordinator
independently checked these facts and all 49 canonical checks against
the sanitized receipts.
- Canonical cleanup passed and independent checks confirmed three exact
sandbox 404s plus complete inventory/zero owned remnants, no owned PG or
controller/observer processes, EC2 terminated, root volume absent, and
the ephemeral SSH key/agent removed by 04:54:25 UTC.

Live scope is classic remote Codex warm continuity with non-native
storage dependencies available. Prepared-task completed B→C, full
per-turn application disk loss, browser reconnection, two-server load
and overall Railway/HTTP continuity were not live-qualified here.
Earlier failed campaigns and the original cap-two burst failure remain
failed historical evidence. A report-renderer cache setup failure was
preserved; the normal sanitizer subsequently succeeded with an explicit
cache path and a new output directory, without changing validators.


The repair keeps retained events under their original six-field
authority until persistence and accounting accept them. Unknown semantic
effects stay unresolved. A compact staged target survives source
bootstrap, cached-command delivery and authenticated handoff, including
an uncertain commit response. Direct and same-guest-listener recovery
require the verified original Runner and the exact endpoint. Target
snapshot publication marks readiness in memory, with retirement
coalesced into an existing command write. Headers contain only the
staged descriptor/digest; a prequeue template is written once as a
changed checkpoint part and then recovered from the existing
command/receipt. No second session snapshot transaction, streaming SQL
path, new pool or recurring idle scan is added.

| Current repair gate | Evidence and scope |
| --- | --- |
| Source-tail regression | Real Runner protocol RED reproduced
attachment rejection. Frozen core/transport pass five source-tail cases:
source usage attribution, held persistence/no premature ACK, lost commit
response plus cache loss, unknown semantic hold and accounting rejection
hold. |
| Handoff loss windows | Direct and listener modes pass
queued/prepared/activated/completed boundaries (eight cells), preserving
the actual Runner/provider process. Missing adoption proof and changed
endpoints reject recovery. |
| Compact storage | A 31 KiB attachment grant writes its separate part
once, leaves it unchanged across source snapshots and removes it at
queueing. Headers do not duplicate the grant. |
| Accounting | 21 real-Postgres usage tests and 19 source-binding tests
pass. Recovery hydrates immutable source receipts without resetting
their producer or billing classification; conflicting/incomplete usage
holds. |
| Admission and malformed evidence | Driver 16, staged evidence 42,
restart classifier 27 and source usage 19 focused cases pass. Four
malformed-file regressions pass at d6a7, whose executor is
byte-identical at 484, and server typecheck passes. Full executor file:
990 pass; 16 embedded-Postgres `initdb` setup failures before
assertions, retained separately. |
| Required checks | Exact fc68584 recursive typecheck and build pass
locally, with matching server stamp. Forced full CI succeeds (48 jobs
pass, one intended skip); all PR checks are clean. Maps/token gates pass
for their unchanged source surfaces. Fresh exact-head Greptile is 5/5,
all six threads resolved. |
| Ordinary application path | Exact fc68584 managed component passes
active recovery after natural expiry, completion, native-cache loss and
ordinary C continuation. Production bytes match before/after; temporary
fixtures restored and owned DB/services cleaned. UNKNOWN local
debug-daemon/partial instruction-observer limits remain; the separate
live case uses the attested Linux producer. |
| Producer | Locked Bookworm build from exact 5b7 Rust tree
d03e494217, equal to final fc68584 Rust
source. SHA-256
65b8f8cfdd6099e9ad24f1ca154e8a260777269cc82f6e23c6e6a180c531eaaf;
38,515,328 bytes. Actual Debian 12 execution and live admission pass.
Controller/admission/DB changes do not relabel the producer source. |
| Historical cap-two comparison | Exact 59da baseline vs 5b7 candidate,
300 controllers/10,000 history, ABBA 4×65 s per mode, all three actual
pools and real snapshots. Steady CPU/op 541.36→554.64 µs (+2.45%);
WAL/op 1512.13→1560.99 B (+3.23%); DB-request p99 102.78→105.99 ms
(+3.12%): PASS. Burst CPU/op +4.71%, WAL/op +5.29%, p99 −0.10% pass
relative gates, but absolute drains above fail. Identical operation/SQL
counts, zero lost leases/drops/errors. One Node process simulates 300
controllers; this does not qualify two-webserver overlap or HTTP
capacity. |
| Live acceptance | Strict final-source Linux classic Codex case passes
1/1 on attempt 1, all 49 checks. Active recovery within grace and useful
retained C continuation succeed; four
accepted/published/committed/settled outcomes. Independent provider,
PG/process, VM/root and SSH cleanup complete. Prepared/task and broader
rollout limits are explicit above. |

Runner package sources are byte-identical to `283e05ffaa`; the two later
commits change the explicitly scoped qualification and its documentation
only. It includes master through the storage-owner fix
`45a3a92e6dc52d20923b9aa34a22fee2ec5443f9` (#18357). At that snapshot,
CI/review passed but the strict post-C native recovery gate failed; the
PR stayed draft and required another native repair. Prior `39a4343` CI
and review passed, but its full live workflow failed; that grade remains
unchanged. The first repaired `435ccd2` live attempt failed before any
injected outage. It exposed a legitimate terminal snapshot before result
acceptance; no accepted result ID or publication receipt was observed.
Its canonical report remains 0/1 `candidate_failure`, with cleanup
passed and independent provider absence confirmed. `0862062` defers
publication until result acceptance and fixes the fresh review's
coordinator/issue lock-order finding. Both failures have deterministic
real-Postgres regressions. The `0862062` live attempt then proved
accepted-result publication but failed active recovery: a resumed-lease
preparation guard demanded suspension after the exact live Runner was
already verified for adoption. `64c0b746` preserves that verified
active/idle-warm process, revalidates its proof/liveness, and keeps
ordinary suspension checks and later PRP authentication. Its live run
passed preparation but exposed a second active-warm boundary: all
durable binding fields matched except opaque turn/item attachment IDs,
which the server had regenerated. `7a203274` carries the complete
verified six-field binding and keeps the strict Runner mismatch guard.
Its cloud case then passed active adoption, completion, publication and
accounting. The queued continuation exposed accepted-result retirement
writes and an implicit-home fingerprint drift; both are fixed with
deterministic regressions in `39a4343` before this fresh full
qualification.

The prior live case exposed a real publication gap. A goal-less native
turn could persist its accepted result and terminal snapshot before
provider cleanup, while the task-session pointer was still empty. Normal
later admission then selected a fresh session. The fix publishes that
pointer and a private bound receipt in the **existing post-acceptance
terminal checkpoint transaction**, before cleanup. Earlier terminal
observations persist without a handled receipt or continuation pointer.
No result-acceptance or snapshot transaction was added. The late
completion path recognizes the receipt. This also prevents a late
callback from restoring a pointer after a user reset. Goal/control
publication keeps its existing owner.

The dedicated Daytona fixture now uses the existing warm/reusable
environment. Its sandbox, Runner and provider storage must survive. The
former generic per-turn fixture disposed the sandbox after completion
and kept provider-history backup bytes under the discarded directory.
Whole per-turn disk-loss acceptance therefore has a separate
provider-backup storage dependency. It remains distinct from the passing
native per-turn component checks with backup storage available. The
60-second lease, 300-second outage and 420-second grace are unchanged.

| Gate | Current repair evidence |
| --- | --- |
| Assembled regression | Baseline fails with an accepted result and
terminal snapshot but a NULL task pointer while real provider cleanup is
held. The fix passes normal continuation and reset cases, with no
pointer seeding. Exact merged `92b7447` passed 2/2 twice, including
after normal package TypeScript output refresh. Production files are
byte-identical at frozen `435ccd2`. |
| Persistence and concurrency | 19 helper/transaction cases and all 59
existing control-port cases pass on `0862062`. They cover bound result
IDs, reset/newer epochs, Stop, lock waits and expiry, receipt replay,
missing stubs, foreign bindings and atomic 4 KiB rollback. Existing
snapshot transaction count stays one. The new tests reproduce the exact
live missing-result-ID error and the inverse replay/status lock order
against `435ccd2`, then pass after the correction. Replayed results
still reject stale generations. |
| Completion | All 32 completion-boundary tests pass on merged
`92b7447`; the source is unchanged at `435ccd2`. Native result-shaped
session metadata is preserved. |
| Qualification fixture | A valid review report reproduced three
rejected correct replies. Exact token-boundary matching fixes them. 140
focused E2E/catalog cases and Product E2E typecheck pass. Wrong tokens,
marker prefixes/suffixes and wrong authors remain rejected;
retained-identity checks are unchanged. |
| Required checks | Full recursive typecheck and standard build passed
at `435ccd2`. Both exact commands also passed on `0862062`, with its
exact server build stamp; both also pass on `7a203274`, with its exact
server build stamp. Fresh `0862062` Greptile passed 5/5, with zero
unresolved threads. The `64c0b746` normal CI then passed all 49 jobs (48
success, one expected skip) and Greptile passed 5/5 with zero unresolved
findings. The `7a203274` normal CI also passed 48 jobs with one expected
skip, with fresh Greptile 5/5 and zero unresolved findings. Current
`39a4343` recursive typecheck and standard build both pass with
persisted exit codes and its exact build stamp; fresh Greptile is 5/5
with zero unresolved findings. Its normal CI completed successfully: 48
jobs passed and one expected job skipped. The fresh live result remains
separately failed. The `0862062` normal CI had 46 passing jobs, one
expected skip, one worker communication failure and its aggregate
failure; GitHub states the self-hosted runner lost communication. No
failed assertion or specific OOM/spot cause was established, and no
blind retry was used. |
| PostgreSQL supplement | One corrected all-pool pair at the preceding
repair passed 300-controller/10,000-history correctness and absolute
gates. SQL 76,590→75,990; transactions 9,013→8,713; UPDATE rows 11,613
each; 300 correct pointer writes each. PG CPU 31.99→30.46 s, WAL
70.36→67.87 MB, request p99 100.98→103.12 ms. This is one pair, not a
repeated improvement claim or an exact `0862062` CPU measurement. Its
two later changes defer premature publication and reorder existing
locks; they add no transaction, stream/idle writer, pool or timer. The
first collapsed-pool attempt remains invalid and retained. This is not
an exact final-head CPU/WAL measurement; later fixes change ordering,
identity selection and in-memory skill replacement without adding
snapshot transactions, pools, stream writes or idle SQL. |
| Live publication proof (`0862062`) | Baseline run
`06fcc806-f186-4190-9b57-087b61d75533` accepted result
`58f912dc-94d9-4b4d-bd3d-d5f689c83fd3`; the publication receipt names
the same result, the task pointer has parameters and `lastRunId`
matches, and the normalized native identity matches the following active
run. Accounting v2 settled. |
| Active recovery (`0862062`) | **FAIL.** SIGKILL/cache discard at
23:07:28.666 UTC; hold 300,000.859 ms; B ready at 308,896.486 ms;
natural generation-2 ownership at 312,906 ms. At about 319 s,
preparation failed `runner_harness_state_mismatch:
resumed_not_suspended`. No authenticated after-receipt passed within 420
s. Exact original Runner PID 668/start/fingerprint was independently
still alive; provider auto-stop was 15 minutes. No retained C follow-up
qualified. Canonical 0/1 `cleanup_failure`/cleanup-failed report remains
failed; subsequent independent cleanup deleted all three owned resources
with exact 404s and confirmed full intended-account inventory with zero
owned resources. |
| Verified adoption preparation (`64c0b746`) | 91 focused cases pass,
including actual preparation for four active providers and a distinct
prior/current warm proof. Unproved resumed state, dead process and stale
warm owner remain rejected. The earlier options-only fixture missed this
gate. No spawn, backup restore or PRP-authentication bypass was added.
Server typecheck passes. |
| Active warm identity (`64c0b746`) | **FAIL.** B claimed generation 2
at 312,995 ms. Preparation passed, then strict PRP recovery rejected the
generated attachment IDs at about 319 s. The saved and desired Runner,
lease, normalized session and run IDs matched; only
`turn_attachment_…`/`item_attachment_…` differed from generated
`turn-<run>`/`item-<run>`. Canonical 0/1 cleanup-failed report remains
failed; independent cleanup confirmed deletion/404s and zero owned
provider resources. |
| Six-field identity repair (`7a203274`) | Actual server-factory
regression RED4→GREEN38. A real Rust Runner test passes healthy first
run → random-ID warm handoff → held active second run → restored
controller. It verifies a new live authenticated connection, exact
identity, same Runner/provider OS identities, no duplicate launch/turn,
and no redispatch or invented receipt for an uncertain tool. The
synthetic wrong pair still fails the unchanged guard. This protocol case
does not claim business completion. Server and Runner typechecks pass. |
| Active recovery/completion (`7a203274`) | **PASS for the active
component.** Full five-minute SIGKILL/cache-loss hold. B ready at
308,936.651 ms; natural generation 2 observed 312,979 ms; authenticated
at 317,720 ms and resumed processing at 318,527 ms. Same run
`1e1ccb00-0728-4935-97da-57562d81cb42`, Runner
`246f73f7-a689-4177-a9c2-7ce711d63aed`, remote PID 669/start
23:48:27.470, provider lease/session and one submitted turn. Accepted
result `49097529-5310-4ac3-af95-5bf9b91d19f4`, publication, finalization
and accounting v2 all settled. |
| Full workflow (`7a203274`) | **FAIL, preserved.** Queued
late-requirement run `5e61f38d-c7d1-4fc1-bcbf-bce9d46ce4eb` failed
`runner did not durably suspend before checkpoint` before outage 2.
Canonical 0/1 candidate failure, cleanup passed, evidence valid. C
retention was not exercised. Independent provider absence,
controllers/PG cleanup, EC2 termination and root-volume absence all
confirmed; closed receipt SHA-256
`676a3b15eb9937b6bf995c36fb8666c88964d509e5ceb9109fb02da0aa2bc909`. |
| Retirement and stable configuration (`39a4343`) | Real Runner +
Postgres RED reproduced the exact suspension failure and nine owner
rejections. `turn.stop` is now lifecycle checkpoint maintenance under
unchanged owner/result/generation fences. GREEN25/25 proves actual
persisted suspension, exact identity and completed stop/drain/suspend;
unaccepted, foreign, stale and new-work negatives remain rejected. Two
default-home fingerprint REDs become GREEN9/9; explicit mode changes
still invalidate. No global matching exemption or historical fingerprint
rewrite. |
| Fresh full Daytona warm cell (`39a4343`) | **FAIL, preserved.**
Launched 00:15:29 UTC with automatic retries disabled. Active adoption
passed: actual offline hold 300,000.848 ms; B ready 309,922.155 ms;
natural generation 2 at 311,821 ms; authenticated 317,989 ms; resumed
330,440 ms. Same run `3e126819-e786-4b3b-b923-c975cf4f5b79`, Runner
`4079138a-8d7c-44a4-8558-07a5411d1f55`, PID 668/start and
provider/session identities. Accepted result
`08e504af-4dec-48a8-bf05-bf0a32280559` and publication passed. Queued
run `31d168c9-7ab9-4700-abb6-fafb90912237` failed the same strict
suspension error before outage 2. Its row selected a new native
identity, but no new third provider process or invocation was observed.
Recovery-time configuration still reset only `adapterConfig`; native
provider, context and workspace subtrees were unchanged. Canonical 0/1
candidate failure, evidence valid, normal cleanup passed; all campaign
provider/PG/process resources independently absent. Closed campaign
receipt SHA-256
`5e7d6281c13c812f3a946667f97f3c7d339b5ad86a3a819bd185b2fa73bc4a19`;
EC2/SSH remain temporarily held for the concrete follow-up repair.
Original 60/300/420-second limits and strict queued/second-replacement
checks remain unchanged. Direct-process path; no new live prepared-task
claim. |
| Native retirement authority (`283e05ffaa`) | Exact `39a4343` facade
regression RED3→GREEN9. The successor now uses its existing production
coordinator claim and prompt renewal before strict retirement. A real
Runner/Postgres case starts in the actual native-observed/unclaimed
phase, claims through production code, then closes and durably suspends
the predecessor in 1.657 s. All 25 real-Postgres cases pass;
unclaimed/foreign writers remain rejected. Shared attachment staging
stays after retirement; Stop and denied claims neither close nor stage.
No new claim or SQL path was added. |
| Configuration continuity (`283e05ffaa`) | Real shared/project-primary
environment selection → configuration with four skill versions
reproduces `reset: true`, changed category exactly `adapterConfig`,
after a Postgres JSONB read. Pinned restoration had reordered the
generated preference while actual runtime skills stayed identical.
Replacing existing pinned rows in place preserves the original fresh
name/key order and fingerprint. The assembled regression passes, as do
three existing pinned-version/rename/alias cases and server typecheck.
Genuine model/skill-selection changes still invalidate. No
fingerprint-format change or broad compatibility exemption. |
| Final production repair (`283e05ffaa`) | Full recursive
typecheck/build and [normal
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41151145106)
PASS: 48 jobs plus one expected skip. Fresh review 5/5, zero unresolved
threads. Live baseline, recovered run and queued continuation all
succeeded, each accepted/published/committed once with accounting v2
settled. Their native/provider identities and configuration fingerprint
match; both recovery and continuation report no reset, no changed
categories and task-session reuse. Active outage/authentication remains
within original timing. |
| Browser-dependent continuation (`283e05ffaa`, definition 6) | **Whole
cell FAIL, preserved.** After B was killed at 00:46:38.928 and its cache
discarded, C became ready in 9,151.410 ms. `openParent()` then hit a
30-second `page.goto`/DOMContentLoaded timeout before posting the final
request. No fourth native run or C continuation was exercised. Cause of
navigation timeout is unknown. C task had no execution lock, queued
comments, handoff or recovery blocker; all three prior runs were
committed/accounted. Normal cleanup passed; independent provider
absence, controller/PG cleanup, EC2 termination and exact root-volume
absence confirmed. Sanitized report bundle SHA-256
`2a3b841d62efb2ae30ef14f96a431ac4fa7fe3a782f1144831512f78edc65022`. |
| Native API continuation qualification (`9eb9ac6f9e`, definition 7) |
**FAIL, preserved.** The real post-C API request dispatched run
`c71fbb18-f979-4fe4-93ce-9c4be46dbf21`, which failed
`native_session_interrupted` / `native_session_recovery_failed` at
01:10:00.640 UTC. It selected the same normalized native identity,
Runner and checkpoint-provider identity as the three succeeded turns. No
C result was accepted; pending accounting remains explicit. Active
recovery passed: actual offline hold 300,001.098 ms, B ready 308,335.019
ms, natural generation 2 observed 311,818 ms, authenticated 315,540 ms,
resumed 316,612 ms. Queued continuation succeeded/accepted/published. B
was then killed/cache discarded at 01:09:34.500 and C ready in 8,783.803
ms. Original classifier `transient_infrastructure`, whole-case failure
and cleanup passed are unchanged; that classifier does not establish the
root cause. All owned provider/PG/process resources, EC2, root volume
and SSH agent independently absent. Closed receipt SHA-256

Exact backend detail is unavailable in approved structured evidence. |
| Current required checks (`9eb9ac6f9e`) | Recursive typecheck, standard
build and exact build stamp PASS. [Normal
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41152908417)
PASS: 48 jobs plus one expected skip. Fresh Greptile 5/5, latest edited
summary checked, zero unresolved threads. Exact8/512/8,192 stream probes
again report zero recovery SQL/transactions/rows and settled-idle SQL;
seven control transactions/twelve changed rows each, with 36 separate
legitimate renewals in the longest case. CI success does not supersede
the failed live C gate. |

The completion supplement observed secondary request/liveness/checkpoint
transaction p99 increases of 23.0%/45.7%/15.6% in its single pair.
Renewal p99 stayed below 0.865 s, with 900 successful renewals per arm
and no lost leases. The named pool caps stayed 10+2+2. An aggregate
activity sample peaked at 15 non-observer entries without backend-type
classification, so no claim is made that all were client connections. No
sampled lock episodes does not establish zero lock waits.

Twelve pure reader/selector cases also pass with the new adjacent
receipt. This is not another executed process rollback. Development
reader `5cf7aead` can parse the recovery state, but its old run-detail
redactor can expose receipt IDs/outcome to an authorized run reader. The
first production release containing recovery readers, complete
attachment-identity handling and both private-field redactions is the
rollback floor. The implicit-home fix prevents new recovery-time
fingerprint drift; it does not rewrite previously stored fingerprints
from failed candidates. The development probe is not a published
supported rollback target.

Latest actual `0862062` Runner tests independently passed 8/512/8,192
text chunks with zero recovery SQL, transactions and changed rows, plus
zero settled-idle SQL. All three observed seven setup/control
transactions and twelve changed rows. The 8,192-chunk case separately
recorded 31 legitimate lease-renewal statements, with no lost lease.
These are component SQL observations, not a production CPU/WAL claim.
The new adoption and identity branches affect recovery preparation only.
The `64c0b746`, `7a203274` and exact `39a4343` CI independently passed
all three stream sizes with the same zero-SQL/idle result; each latest
8,192-chunk case recorded 36 separate renewal statements. Exact
`39a4343` Runner 2/2 passed 133 files / 2,317 tests plus two skips; its
separate native group passed 150 tests plus eight skips.

The first API fixture revision omitted the mandatory final screenshot;
this was caught before paid launch and allocated no provider/model work.
The correction captures the actual retained Chromium page with an
explicit unqualified-browser label, without changing the standard report
validator.

Automatic approval review rejected exporting raw private API/workflow
snapshots because of sensitive payloads and insufficient
destination-specific authorization. Sanitized reports and
bound/hash-only receipts are retained; raw snapshots were not copied
through another channel. This does not change the failed grade.

Repair characterization also preserves its failed attempts. An
unconditional staging relocation broke three existing same-scope
scripted cases; the final implementation defers staging only for an
actual superseded warm scope, and all nine order/race cases pass. One
baseline transform overlapped an edit and is explicitly invalid; the
actual immutable `39a4343` loader then produced the three genuine REDs.
The independent task-directory hypothesis produced a RED but was
excluded by the live shared-workspace evidence; no directory policy
change was landed. A shared-workspace fixture authorization omission was
corrected separately from the four-skill semantic RED.

Setup failures are retained separately from semantic outcomes. These
include an old host port after the owned Postgres fixture restarted and
a sandbox-denied TSX IPC pipe. The supported external-Postgres run
passed, and the final exact recursive typecheck passes with normal
process permissions. Seven stale declaration errors after the master
merge cleared after compiling the actual merged SDK/Runner TypeScript
sources. No declarations were edited by hand.

<details>
<summary>Earlier qualification measurements and failed attempts
(historical, before this repair)</summary>

**Historical blocked gate (before the repair below).** Final native
implementation is `abed921e12d543b62f57a56435419c0dafb0bc33`; current
branch head is `af9e2d157dcc349e55374ad186c9be2d6cb96bf9`. The two later
commits change only qualification fixtures, their matcher and
documentation; `server/` and `packages/` are unchanged. It includes
master through `fd008979f5794fda3d5f54151d36acd31d0de140`.

The live Daytona measurement proves five-minute active recovery,
once-only completion and accounting, but **fails retained-session
identity after the second replacement**. The saved checkpoint and
recovery metadata exist. The task-session pointer remains empty, and
ordinary admission creates new native/provider sessions. The exact
skipped publication boundary remains unproven. A useful saved-file
result alone does not satisfy retained-session continuation. This
application-path gap blocks merge independently of CI.

A separate new-master CI failure is owned by the storage workstream (fix
in #18357). No storage guard, session-identity oracle, lease/grace limit
or provider result was relaxed.

| Gate | Observed result and exact scope |
| --- | --- |
| Distinct source recovery and compatible rollback | PASS at A
`5cf7aead09a2d9c7e2f2929d761f535ef3c1d798` → B
`5ea45f8d17e33c9a62bd79982dcf0375b07733d0` → fresh B → A. Four
controller processes, natural 60-second lease expiry, absent native
projections before replacements, three succeeded/committed unique
results, one provider thread, unchanged Runner identity, and strict idle
cleanup. 177.782 seconds. |
| Immutable installed native component | PASS at installed A
`5cf7aead09a2d9c7e2f2929d761f535ef3c1d798` → installed B
`eaef0d56552c087aaa4fa68a8655282ffbd12667` → fresh B → A. Each
controller imports its contained compiled server and DB. Three unique
committed results, stable Runner/thread, no extra provider restart on
same-contract rollback, strict cleanup. 106.672 seconds. This is
compiled component proof, separate from full CLI-native application
acceptance. |
| Normal public CLI startup | PASS for B
`eaef0d56552c087aaa4fa68a8655282ffbd12667`, Node 24.22.1, darwin-arm64:
fresh external DB, 415 migrations, health ready, root HTML 200, company
POST 201 plus GET readback. The installed tree remained unchanged after
execution. |
| Five-minute component outage | Actual controller absence 300,168 ms.
Natural generation-2 claim at 407.196 seconds after crash, same provider
attempt and Runner, original run succeeded/committed. The larger
540-second case timed out before its retained follow-ups, so it is an
active-adoption pass, not a complete four-controller pass. The complete
short source/installed cases above independently cover follow-up and
rollback. |
| Drain/resume review regression | Fixed in
`226f03e736d1ee99fea1762ab32ea3a8a9241c20`. Five facade-level cases
pass: overdue normal/restart waits, future timer cancellation, another
facade resuming the original owner, and transient retry. Against exact
prior scheduler `5ea45f8d17e33c9a62bd79982dcf0375b07733d0`, four fail
and one passes. The later head changes documentation only. |
| Final corrected-fixture Daytona | **PARTIAL: active recovery PASS;
retained identity FAIL**, exact live source `0b6afc499f`. A was
SIGKILLed and native cache discarded; actual offline hold 300,000.375
ms. B was ready at 308,326.961 ms, naturally claimed generation 2 at
312,059 ms, authenticated at 315,996 ms and resumed processing at
316,519 ms, within the original 420-second boundary. The same run,
Runner PID/start, session, lease and event prefix survived; one turn
submitted. Original execution succeeded and settled accounting. After
completion, B was killed and its native cache discarded; C was ready in
9,077.779 ms. C executed the saved project and returned correct
`queue_r`, with all four runs succeeded/accounted. However, native and
true provider-session identities changed: the unchanged retained oracle
fails. No whole-workflow pass is claimed. |
| Prior matched-producer Daytona | FAILED at exact `abed921e12`. The
matching current-source Runner passed normal admission, completed the
first task and settled its accounting. During the active revision, A was
SIGKILLed and its native cache discarded. Actual offline hold was
300,000.727 ms; B was ready at 308,304 ms and naturally claimed
generation 2 at 309,651 ms. At about 318 seconds, the remote process
check reported `process_not_running` for the original admitted Runner.
No authenticated after-receipt or retained follow-up passed. The current
failure is preserved; no automatic retry, lease/grace relaxation, debt
edit or provider replay is used. Bounded forensic read found preserved
exact-bound state with no recoverable failure, a transport-reset
diagnostic and no terminal delivery; this supports external process loss
without proving the exact cause. The sandbox had a five-minute auto-stop
policy, conflicting with the required surviving-sandbox assumption.
Owned cleanup precedes the separate corrected-fixture case. |

**Live retained-session boundary.** Prior completed run `3806…` and C
follow-up `8adf1df3-6744-40bf-b35d-100451f29d9f` both have database
session snapshots and `nativeControllerRecovery`. Their tool
fingerprint, provider configuration, workspace descriptor,
runtime-context digest, driver and work mode match. There is no recorded
force-fresh/workspace-selection change, and this is an ordinary task
rather than a conversation-generation reset. The same issue/agent
task-session row has `session_params_json: null` and `last_run_id: null`
from baseline time. Both native normalized UUID and actual provider
session/thread hashes differ after C. Full application admission
therefore did not select the retained source. No fallback to file
execution or relaxed identity comparison is accepted as proof of
continuity.

**Independent cleanup completed.** Full current-account provider
inventory confirms no resources owned by either final fixture, with
exact-ID absence checks. Owned controllers and campaign Postgres are
stopped/removed. EC2 `i-01551c09af098dde5` is terminated, its
delete-on-termination root volume returned `InvalidVolume.NotFound` at
22:14:08 UTC, and the temporary SSH key/agent were removed. The
canonical failed report and immutable oracle input are retained. Closed
qualification receipt SHA-256:
`b4b5fefce287ebfdbf2cc2238efaad62d8ad485aed0e9c0628ae95dbc18a8575`.

**Original measurement and grader repair remain separate.** The C reply
contains the requested marker followed by a newline and the correct
output. The old workflow waited for one literal space, so its normal
receipt collection stalled; that original attempt was closed and its
canonical `cleanup_failure`/interrupted result is preserved. Commit
`af9e2d157d` repairs only this reply predicate, with 144 focused cases,
E2E typecheck, discovery and diff checks passing. Ordinary string
matching stays literal. The corrected predicate accepts the saved reply,
but the unchanged retained-identity oracle still fails. Pure
active-recovery grading of the captured measurement passes 7/7; this is
not a rewritten passing campaign.

The sandbox idle-window conflict was corrected only for this explicit
fixture (15 minutes). Actual baseline and later sandbox metadata confirm
that policy; the original active box was disposed before a post-gate
policy read, so its 15-minute setting is established by the normal
create/environment configuration rather than an after-read of that box.
Production native lifecycle and the 60/300/420-second constants remain
unchanged.

The development compatibility reader A is a genuine backport commit
based on `59ff89a18fe1312b5f0bb908439bbdb1237b0252`, with the required
idle-goal reader fixes. It is not a previously published release. Its
older executor differs from B. The rollback floor must include this
reader capability. The source component cases admitted the Linux ARM64
Runner packaged at `59ff89a18fe1312b5f0bb908439bbdb1237b0252`; the
installed component case admitted the `5cf7aead` package. Their Runner
bytes are identical: SHA-256
`b1f04caa1ce04e720dec7eb62ede170eb3621948c0849b8f305ea5c5116bced8`. Each
admitted artifact remained unchanged throughout its case.

[Final public package
build](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41121460635)
and [reader-floor
build](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41122170506)
both passed all four daemon builds, package assembly and both Darwin
clean consumers. Both Linux ARM consumers failed before provider work
with the same existing local Codex permission-profile error: bubblewrap
attempts `activity.fifo/.git` and reports “Not a directory.” This
matched baseline failure remains open; it is not a native remote
continuity pass. Full post-run tree and build-stamp revalidation also
passed after the compiled native case. The installed component trees are
A `c29114c1bf71c5af00f761aeb9e3d84ed3d3075b9f5600dee3ef2543eb2b6ec5` and
B `eda575505373a3bdc630fa4919862b359791fe3a7ef637961a25b73b38efe4b0`.

**Controlled PostgreSQL qualification passed.**
Baseline/candidate/candidate/baseline workloads used 300 controllers,
10,000 historical tasks, real snapshot/encrypted PRP writes and
unchanged pools. PostgreSQL and client were each limited to two CPUs and
1536 MiB on an isolated eight-vCPU Linux host.

| Workload | PG CPU per operation | WAL per operation | Database request
p99 |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Steady | +1.18% | +1.81% | +1.91% |
| Aligned burst | +3.40% | +2.56% | +3.81% |
| Two logical servers | +3.11% | +2.56% | +9.68% |

All arms passed absolute/correctness gates with unchanged control
transaction counts, no dropped operations and no owner loss. Overlap p99
has little margin below the relative threshold. It uses two clients in
one Node process, not two HTTP servers. [Closed measurements and
limitations](doc/plans/2026-10-30-native-controller-qualification-evidence.json)
and exact-source reproduction patches are retained. [Earlier
contended-host
failures](doc/plans/2026-10-30-native-controller-load-evidence.json)
remain unchanged. The production DB-claim probe claimed 300 owners in
2.84 seconds and restored/committed controls and snapshots in 8.74
seconds, with zero owner loss or settled-idle SQL; its provider
references were synthetic. The measured checkpoint/snapshot/renewal
paths retain the same persistence behavior after integration; later
accounting and business writes have separate owners.

Actual Runner stream tests at `da8c7f6e1837ddd896dfe83a7524812fee813487`
passed 8/512/8,192 chunks: zero recovery SQL, transactions and changed
rows during text intervals; zero settled-idle SQL. Each retained seven
control transactions and twelve changed records. Existing renewal SQL
was measured separately. The guard/scheduler fixes add no stream path,
pool or recurring idle scan.

The live fixture used current-source producer SHA-256
`f0000c90cb83880191479da639201e659aa6ce0fc7d67c859faa172ec977849e`, a
normal locked exact-head build with pinned Rust 1.97.1 in Bookworm.
Actual network-isolated, read-only ABI execution passed (GLIBC
requirement 2.34 against runtime 2.36). The immutable base image
remained
`ghcr.io/paperclipai/paperclip-daytona-runner@sha256:36069788f53c51f228764fa36180575443dfb5d1f84a342d7c0daceb28dc61cc`,
source `a0ef3ce7`. This was an unpublished development producer,
explicitly distinct from the base image and admitted before the fresh
fixture began. The earlier host build failed ABI preflight before
admission. The preceding old-producer fixture completed its initial task
but lacked the usage-basis marker required by current master; it
remained pending/unpriced and correctly paused. It was independently
cleaned without debt or budget changes. Two preceding local Linux setup
attempts OOM-killed before provider allocation, and their cleanup
passed. These attempts remain separate from the final recovery failure.

**Failures retained and resolved separately.** The earlier `98f05fc`
probe rejected a valid settled PRP v2 goal suffix; `eaef0d5` fixed that
reader and the fresh follow-up passed. Later component cleanup failures
were traced by a scoped exception observer to the fixture adapter
rejecting directory downloads. A bounded owned-directory transfer with
exact-byte/mode preflight corrected the fixture; source and installed
strict-cleanup cases then passed. No production guard was relaxed. The
initial local integrated control-port run hit its 30-second embedded
Postgres startup hook before executing 59 cases; 18 other focused cases
passed. A bounded rerun used a fresh owned external Postgres fixture,
applied normal migrations before Vitest, and passed all 59 cases with
the original timeouts unchanged. Its container and data were removed;
the failed attempt remains retained.

The additional opt-in full Product E2E Vitest run is not green: 5,313
passed, seven failed and three skipped. An actual `abed921e12` archive
with the same dependencies, Node and IPC permissions reproduces all
seven failures with the same reasons. Five are unchanged
workflow-policy/profile-pin assertions, including Pi profile version 37
versus the test pin 35. Two database suites failed during embedded
Postgres startup before their assertions; semaphore exhaustion is
confirmed in the observer log. The observer passes its supported
external-Postgres rerun with original timeouts and source unchanged. The
controller-database client-kill/postmaster assertions remain unexecuted
after `initdb` bootstrap failure; no external override is supported. The
unit launcher stopped before its Node-test phase, which was then run
independently and passed 181/181. The original failed full run is
preserved. These results remain distinct from the passing focused checks
and normal repository CI. The first local Product E2E typecheck also
encountered stale compiled Runner declarations; a genuine package-local
TypeScript compile refreshed them and the unchanged check passed,
without a dependency install or producer rebuild.

Earlier [Daytona campaign
41108162900](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41108162900)
failed at sandbox creation before any agent, with the underlying
provider error unavailable. Its [sanitized
report](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-41108162900-2/index.html)
remains a `cleanup_failure`. Both old creation names are absent in the
current authenticated account, but the old CI account identity was not
retained, so account equivalence is unproven. The subsequent exact
`eaef0d5` source Product E2E attempt passed image/agent setup and the
initial project, then held the controller offline for 300,003.7 ms. Its
Mac supervisor failed owned-process inspection before B readiness; no
adoption passed. Full current-company lease/label checks, provider
deletion, exact-ID 404s and complete inventory confirmed cleanup of that
attempt. Its local server and owned Postgres stopped. The prior AWS
campaigns and database qualification VM were terminated with root
volumes removed.

The old admitted test Runner lacks the newer usage-basis marker
introduced on master. The integrated component B turns retained
unpriced, incomplete accounting obligations with `costAccountingPending:
true` and no settled charge. The compatibility-reader A turn used its
legacy receipt interpretation but likewise retained pending accounting
and no settlement timestamp. This proves obligation preservation, not a
whole-run accounting migration. Runner/receiver release ordering remains
governed by the usage owner's contract.

At native implementation `abed921e12d543b62f57a56435419c0dafb0bc33`,
Greptile was 5/5 with zero unresolved threads and CI completed with 54
successful checks and five expected skips. At `0b6afc499f`, Greptile
again passed 5/5 with zero unresolved threads, but CI ended with 51
successful checks, five skips and three failures. Server 9/12 fails a
deterministic managed-skills maintenance assertion newly inherited from
master `198218bf` in merge `c80e00ad`; that test is absent from the PR
head, and the storage owner has the explicit-StorageService fix in
#18357. Runner 2/2 passed 2,283 unit cases but its runner received a
shutdown signal during the long stream probe; its cancelled step and
aggregate failure are preserved. No blind retry was used. Current
`af9e2d157d` checks are pending; the matcher-only change passes 144
focused cases and Product E2E typecheck. Earlier scheduling-sensitive CI
failures and the interrupted unsharded local test run remain recorded in
the dated plan. CI runs the repository's normal test partitions. Final
verification does not claim Railway rollout, uninterrupted HTTP service
or whole-webserver filesystem loss.

</details>

## Risks

- The task-pointer repair passes its assembled regression. The first
live repair exposed pre-acceptance ordering and the fresh review exposed
a replay lock-order issue; both are fixed and pass real Postgres tests
at `0862062`. The following live attempt exposed the
verified-running-versus-suspended preparation gate. Its narrow fix
passes 91 focused cases at `64c0b746`. The next live case exposed
synthetic attachment IDs; `7a203274` fixes that field selection and
passes real Runner authentication. The subsequent queued continuation
exposed strict retirement maintenance and a false default-home change;
`39a4343` fixes both with real Runner/Postgres and fingerprint
regressions. The `39a4343` live continuation failed again despite green
CI. `283e05ffaa` repairs the actual native-observed admission ordering
and reproduces/fixes the JSONB skill-order fingerprint drift. Both pass
targeted real-Postgres regressions and the live active plus queued
paths. The definition 6 post-C browser navigation timed out before
admission. Explicit definition 7 now verifies native continuation
through the ordinary comment API; its strict post-C native gate failed
after a real dispatch and remains historical failed evidence. The final
fc68584 repair now passes its fresh strict 49-check Linux/Daytona
campaign; the prior failed grades remain unchanged. Browser reconnection
is handed to its own workstream with the original failed evidence. No
prior failed campaign is reclassified as passing.
- Incorrect checkpoint/source binding or stale ownership could duplicate
external work. Missing evidence remains a hold; existing receipt and
finalization owners keep uncertain effects unresolved.
- Recovery must retain maintenance writes after accepted results without
allowing a stale business turn to write. Real lock-wait and generation
tests cover that boundary.
- The current two-connection paired burst profile fails its absolute
drain gate in both baseline and candidate, despite passing relative load
gates and all correctness checks. A causal capacity diagnostic selected
three slots; the final controlled cap-three profiles pass unchanged
thresholds. Full application replacement and two-server overlap capacity
remain separate. There is no new streaming writer, pool or recurring
idle scan.
- The remote sandbox and Runner must survive the recovery window.
Provider auto-stop is a separate lifetime bound from reconnect grace;
the explicit qualification fixture uses a longer idle window.
- Workspace and provider backup availability remain external
dependencies. This PR does not certify whole-webserver filesystem loss,
uninterrupted HTTP service or a Railway rollout.

## Model Used

Implementation and initial verification used OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex;
the initial hosted snapshot was not exposed. The follow-up qualification
used three OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` workers coordinated through Codex, with
repository tools, code execution, CI and scoped test infrastructure.
Context-window size is not exposed.

DottaandPaperclip 8ff812cdde feat(chat): deliver proactive task messages to agent chats (#18374)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent Chat gives each person a persistent conversation with each
agent.
> - Tasks and routines produce results outside that conversation.
> - Those runs need a safe way to bring a requested result back to the
person.
> - The server must select the agent's own chat and check the source
task's access rules.
> - This pull request adds proactive chat messages and unread
indicators.
> - People can see the result, open its source task, and reply in the
same chat.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Server, native runner tools, shared contracts, database, and UI.

**Problem or motivation**

An agent can report progress on a task or comment on an authorized task.
It cannot send a routine result to its own standing chat with the
responsible person. A morning review routine therefore cannot leave a
visible digest in that person's chat.

**Proposed solution**

Add `send_chat_message({body, idempotencyKey})` and `POST
/api/agents/me/chat/messages`. The server selects the company, agent,
and responsible person from the active run. It saves an attributed
comment and audit record in one transaction. The chat shows a
source-task link and per-person unread state.

**Alternatives considered**

A destination parameter on a generic comment tool would expose
unnecessary routing authority. A new delivery worker would add another
durable delivery path. This change uses a dedicated tool and the
existing comment and live-event paths.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends the experimental Agent Chat capability in `ROADMAP.md`. The
existing `enableAgentChat` setting controls it. Related public work:
Refs #13282, Refs #13283, and Refs #14408. Searches for proactive chat
and unread chat found no duplicate PR.

## What Changed

- Add a focused messaging service shared by the native tool and HTTP
route. It checks current run ownership, execution mode, recipient
membership, task access, and task privacy.
- Reuse the canonical company/agent/person conversation. Save the
comment and audit record together. Keep task completion and chat
execution separate from delivery.
- Add source-task provenance and source-scoped retry keys. Identical
retries return the saved receipt. Changed content returns a conflict.
- Enforce the conversation's fixed agent at the shared comment-write
boundary. Keep normal reply cancellation and session checks.
- Add chat unread state, accessible agent dots, aggregate Chat
indicators, and visible-message read cutoffs. Refresh through existing
live events.
- Add the request-key constraint, native tool contracts, documentation,
capability maps, stories, and regression coverage.

## Verification

- Local delivery/security proof: all 38 proactive-message cases pass.
Eight credential-scope regressions and four quota regressions fail
against the prior source. The repaired delivery and canonical
cross-issue cap suites pass all 49 cases; all 31 OpenAPI tests, server
typecheck, and capability-map checks pass. The shared per-run cap covers
native and HTTP sends, mixed ordinary mutations, concurrent last-slot
contention, and retry/recovery without double charging.
- Credential tests preserve the authenticated person and authorizer;
reject bridge/test credentials and persisted skill-test runs after
task-mode changes; and recheck API-key revocation, scope, and
responsible person after destination locking. The earlier
delivery/native-authority suites passed all 74 cases before the four
quota additions.
- Four PostgreSQL contention cases cover native and HTTP sends plus
retries during a native chat mutation. All four deadlock against the
earlier source and pass with destination-before-source/run locking.
Recovery and human-reply delivery enqueue only the human comment; a
proactive digest never wakes the chat agent.
- Passed 108 companion conversation, native-authority, and OpenAPI
tests; 112 runner catalog/workflow-report tests; 47 completion-delivery
tests; and 25 project-handoff tests. Focused runner tests cover native
tool availability without generic API tools.
- All 327 affected UI tests, UI typecheck, token gates, and catalog
checks pass. The read hook retries at most three times, respects server
retry delay, coalesces only seen cutoffs, recovers on reconnect, and
cancels on scope changes.
- Real browser journeys with a deterministic process agent verify
routine-to-chat delivery, first-chat creation, unread state across
reload, the source link, secondary chat navigation, and a follow-up
reply referring to the digest. This does not qualify live GitHub
retrieval or model output quality.
- The Storybook showcase uses production components with deterministic
network fixtures. Rendered interactions pass for the landing, ordinary
read success, transient read recovery, and persistent failure after
bounded retries. Both Chat navigation variants update from two unread
chats to one while only Kodi's dot clears. Mobile and light variants
were reviewed. The existing Coordinator Recents label contrast finding
is unchanged; no Linux visual baseline archive exists.
- Current master's independent sandbox migration retains 0418.
Regenerated the feature migration as 0419 from the combined schema and
retained exactly the newest five snapshots; numbering/safety, replay,
and schema-drift checks pass.
- Workspace typecheck and build passed before PR preparation; canonical
server/UI typechecks passed again on the combined tree. Migration
`0419_slippery_impossible_man.sql` passes safety and schema drift checks
on disposable PostgreSQL, including interrupted index repair, concurrent
migrators, one-time owner read-state backfill, preserved receipts, and
two SQL replays. A default five-second local snapshot comparison timed
out; a diagnostic 30-second run passed without drift.
- Earlier failures are retained in the record: full local `pnpm
test:run` and broad shards encountered embedded-PostgreSQL startup,
timing, and provider-recovery failures. Thirteen selected
external-channel cases pass in isolation on the original and changed
sources; an unordered comment-row assertion now explicitly orders both
reads. The earlier route registry, native tool count, runner catalog,
and accessible Chat badge-name failures were fixed and passed full
remote CI on `920b3bb7db`.
- Repeated managed-skill server8 failures came from CI's newer synthetic
merge: its Cloud guard correctly rejected the old local-disk fixture.
Master independently repaired the fixture in #18385; this branch keeps
that repair unchanged. All 57 managed-skill and Cloud prerequisite cases
pass on the combined tree, and that fixture has no remaining PR diff.
- Current reviewed head `dc16f314739a6d977bed21cb1446d0e80a541578`:
Greptile 5/5 with no findings, Superagent security assessment passed,
advisory Paperclip Review 5/5 with no findings, and zero open review
threads. All 55 current-head check runs pass, with five expected skips
and the advisory review neutral at 5/5; Snyk also passes. No checks are
pending or failing. Protected squash auto-merge is enabled and is
waiting for required code-owner approval. A normal exact-head merge was
refused by the base-branch policy; no admin bypass was used. The
previous head's Superagent quota finding is fixed and covered above.

## Risks

- Chat remains company-visible. Delivery rejects a source task with
private-task, project, or ancestor restrictions.
- Read state uses a comment timestamp cutoff. The server retains
database precision and never moves a read receipt backward.
- The new unique constraint changes comment query planning. An existing
regression now uses an explicit row order. The migration builds the
unique index concurrently, then takes a brief table lock to attach it.
It uses the existing top-level migration and interrupted-index recovery
path.
- The upgrade backfills missing chat-owner read-state rows at the latest
existing agent comment. Existing read receipts remain intact. New chats
can still be unread before the human participates.
- Quota observation commits atomically with delivery. A rejected send
rolls back its attempted denial audit row and any first-chat creation;
the canonical warning remains in server logs, and previously spent quota
remains enforced. Identical/conflicting retries and receipt recovery
spend no extra slot.
- This version delivers in-app only. It adds no external-channel, push,
or email delivery.
- Local full-suite acceptance remains limited by the failures recorded
above. The feature stays behind `enableAgentChat`.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex. PR preparation and CI work used `gpt-6.1-sol` with tool
use and code execution. The earlier implementation also used Codex, but
its exact model ID was not recorded in the visible session. The
context-window size was not provided.
