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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 a52f622be8 fix(native): retry a remote provider startup failure once its runner exit is proven (#20874)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs on a remote sandbox (Daytona) start a Runner in the
sandbox, and the Runner opens the provider session
> - When the provider rejects `session.open` at startup, no provider
work began
> - #20808 ends every such remote rejection at once with Retry, because
restart recovery could not prove that the failed runner was gone. A
fault that clears by itself therefore needs one human click
> - The Runner transport already settles the failed runner on close and
observes its exit. That is the missing proof
> - This pull request records that proof on the failure and lets the
same-run bootstrap retry use it. It stops a startup error that repeats,
so an image fault that a retry cannot fix does not loop
> - The benefit is that a transient remote startup failure recovers
without a person, and a permanent one still rests at once with a working
Retry that names the error

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20808
Refs #20832
Refs #20820

**What happened?**
A remote (Daytona) native run whose provider rejected `session.open` at
startup ended as `native_provider_startup_rejected` with Retry. This
happened even when the Runner had settled and exited, and no provider
session, event or checkpoint existed. A person had to click Retry for a
fault that the durable record proves did no provider work.

**Expected behavior**
With a proven runner exit and no provider work, the run retries its
bootstrap on the same run automatically. A startup error that repeats on
the next attempt stops at once with Retry and names that error. Failures
saved without the proof keep today's behaviour.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-startup-rejected-retry.integration.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts
-t "remote startup rejection|session.open rejection"`
2. On master, 3 cases fail: the proven remote rejection is
`terminal_failure`, the repeat does not name its error, and restart
recovery holds the proven failure on
`ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`.

**Paperclip version or commit**
master at 3ded7bbd91.

## What Changed

- Runner transport (`runnerd-codex-transport.ts`): new
`runnerExitConfirmed()`. It is true only after a completed close settled
the runner (provider stopped, runner suspended) and the runner process
exit was observed.
- Codex driver (`codex-app-server-driver-impl.ts`): after it closes the
transport for a failed session open, it sets `runnerExitConfirmed` on
the error when the transport proves the exit.
- Executor (`native-session-executor.ts`):
- A remote `provider_session_open_rejected` with a startup
`providerFailure` keeps the same-run `bootstrap_retry` only with that
proof. The saved failure records `runnerExitConfirmed: true`.
- Each failed attempt's recovery history entry records a startup failure
signature: provider, category and message, with numbers ignored. When
the next attempt fails with the same signature, it stops as
`native_provider_startup_rejected`. Its next action names the startup
error and keeps "Retry starts a new run".
- Deterministic rejections (`requires_action` authentication, permission
or invalid request) stop at once as before.
  - Local targets are unchanged.
- Restart recovery (`native-restart-recovery.ts`):
`remoteRunnerExitedBeforeProviderWork` also accepts a settled
`provider_session_open_rejected` with `runnerExitConfirmed: true`. All
its other checks still apply: no provider session, no provider event, no
checkpoint, no runner-sent event, no successor.
- Docs: `doc/execution-semantics.md` and
`packages/paperclip-runner/docs/durable-recovery.md`.

## Verification

- Red on master, green here:
- `native-startup-rejected-retry.integration.test.ts`: proven remote
rejection → `retryable_failure` with `runnerExitConfirmed`; unproven →
terminal; repeat → terminal, the next action names `bwrap: loopback`,
and Retry is offered.
- `native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts`: proven failure →
`bootstrap_incomplete` (`remote_runner_exited_before_provider_work`); an
older release's failure without the proof stays held.
- `codex-app-server-driver.lifecycle.test.ts`: the driver records the
proof only when the transport reports it after close.
- `native-session-executor.test.ts`: unit cases for the rule, the
`cause` chain, the repeat signature and deterministic rejections.
- Local runs: the 3 server files above pass (1380 tests); restart
recovery `-t remote` 75 pass; driver lifecycle 25 pass.
- `tsc --noEmit` clean for `server` and `packages/paperclip-runner`.
- Not run: a Daytona chaos wave. There is no in-sandbox startup fault
seam yet (see Risks).

## Risks

- The proof depends on the transport's close settling the runner after a
failed `session.open`. The Rust runner keeps serving after a failed
`session.open` (lifecycle `Continue`) and accepts `runner.suspend`, so
close should settle. If it does not settle, there is no proof and the
run ends at once with Retry, which is today's behaviour. It is never
less safe than today.
- Retries stay bounded: the startup retry budget (3 attempts) and the
repeat rule both apply. A repeated identical error stops after one
automatic retry.
- Saved state: failures saved by older releases have no
`runnerExitConfirmed` and keep the old rule. History entries without a
signature never match a repeat. A mid-run deploy is safe: an old
executor never writes the proof.
- Not covered by chaos: a remote "Codex fails at startup N times" fault
needs a hook inside the sandbox Runner or Codex. DF1's seam is
server-side only, and no open chaos PR adds a seam inside the sandbox.

DottaandClaude Fable 5.2 76da2fec4f perf(runner): deliver transport events when they arrive instead of polling every 5 ms (#20862)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The server runs each native agent session through a runner
transport. The transport reads the events that the runner commits to the
session's control plane and delivers them to the driver.
> - The transport found those events with a timer. Every live transport
ran a pass every 5 ms, for as long as the session was open, whether or
not an event had arrived.
> - A CPU profile of the staging server shows the cost. The main thread
was at 96% of one core, and this pass used 5.6% of it with about a dozen
live sessions. The cost grows with the number of sessions and never
stops.
> - The same timer also delayed every event. An event waited up to 5 ms
for the next pass before the driver saw it. Agent boot time and time to
first token are measured requirements.
> - This pull request makes the control plane tell the transport when a
reader can see a change, and the transport delivers in the next task.
The fixed timer is gone.
> - The benefit is that an open session with nothing to deliver costs
nothing on the main thread, and an event reaches the driver sooner than
before.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists. The problem is described here.

**What happened?**

The server's main thread on a hosted instance stayed at 96% of one core,
so every request and every agent turn waited behind it. A 30 second CPU
profile of the live server (Node 24, about a dozen live native agent
sessions) attributes 5.6% of the main thread to `#pumpEventsSafely` and
4.7% self time to `#pumpEvents` in
`packages/paperclip-runner/src/live/runnerd-codex-transport.ts`. Three
places started `setInterval(() => this.#pumpEventsSafely(), 5)`. Each
pass scans the session's committed-event window, so the cost is
`sessions x 200 passes per second x window size`, with nothing to
deliver.

**Expected behavior**

An open session that has no event to deliver does no periodic work. An
event that arrives is delivered at once, not at the next timer tick.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. `cd packages/paperclip-runner`
2. `PAPERCLIP_TRANSPORT_PUMP_BENCHMARK=1 pnpm exec vitest run
src/live/runnerd-transport-pump.benchmark.test.ts`
3. Read the `TRANSPORT_PUMP_BENCHMARK` lines.
`stateReadsPerSessionPerSecond` counts how often an open, idle transport
reads the control plane. `deliveryWaitMs` is the time from the moment a
reader can see a committed event to the moment the transport delivers
it.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Present on master at `c8ae02e5ce`. The profile is from `556b249897`.

**Deployment mode**

Hosted server with native agent sessions. The same code runs in local
development.

## What Changed

- `DurablePrpControlPlane` has a new `onReadableStateChange(listener)`.
It fires when the state that a reader of `store` can see may have
changed. The control plane calls it after every stored-state replacement
or save, after a saved checkpoint releases events that were waiting for
it, and after an authenticated runner moves the recovered cursor.
- The transport subscribes when it creates its control plane. A change
wakes one delivery pass in the next task (`setImmediate`). The pass
never runs inside the control plane's own commit, and several changes in
one task share one pass. This keeps the existing order: the control
plane finishes its commit before a reader reacts.
- The three `setInterval(..., 5)` timers are gone. `#startPump` and
`#stopPump` replace them and keep the same lifecycle: the pump runs from
session start, and it stops on release, controller retirement, failure,
and close.
- The delivery pass now reports what it left behind. Events that the
transport holds back itself (a pending turn start, a pending recovery
binding, a trace write that must be retried) are retried every 5 ms, as
before, and only while they are held. This is the only timer that
remains.
- A pass that stops after it exposes `turn/started` (so the driver can
bind the turn first) now continues in the next task. Before, the events
after it waited for the next 5 ms tick.
- `attachRun` wakes the pump when it moves the transport to the new run
identity.
- New regression test `src/live/runnerd-codex-transport-pump.test.ts`,
new opt-in benchmark
`src/live/runnerd-transport-pump.benchmark.test.ts`, a paced provider
fixture, and a test-only probe that records when each committed event
becomes readable.

How this meets `rules/sleep-aware-background-work.mdc`:

| Item | Answer |
| --- | --- |
| Trigger | The control plane's readable-state change. No timer. |
| Source of truth | The control plane's committed-event window and the
transport's delivery cursor. A notification is a hint to look at them. |
| Pending-work predicate | The pass returns `held` or `next_task`, or a
trace write is waiting. |
| Next deadline or retry | 5 ms, only while the predicate is true.
`next_task` uses one `setImmediate`. |
| Quiet condition | Nothing is held. Then the transport has no timer and
no scheduled task. Release, retirement, failure, and close stop it
completely. |

## Verification

**Reproduction and before/after measurement**

Run from `packages/paperclip-runner`:

```sh
PAPERCLIP_TRANSPORT_PUMP_BENCHMARK=1 pnpm exec vitest run src/live/runnerd-transport-pump.benchmark.test.ts
```

The benchmark opens 12 real transports against `runnerd` and a
credential-free provider fixture. It measures the open sessions while
nothing arrives. Then all 12 sessions stream one turn at the same time
(40 events each, one every 15 ms). "Before" is the unchanged source at
`e2cf9a670f`, which was the base of this branch when the measurements
were taken. "After" is this change on that base. Each cell shows two
runs, and the runs alternate between before and after. The host was a
shared macOS arm64 machine with other work running (load average 8 to
10), so absolute numbers carry that noise.

External checkpoint persistence. This is the mode that the server uses.

| Measure | Before | After |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Idle: control-plane state reads per session per second | 364 / 365 | 0
/ 0 |
| Idle: event-loop utilization, 12 new sessions | 1.5% / 1.5% | 0.0% /
0.0% |
| Idle: event-loop utilization, 49 retained events per session | 2.1% /
2.2% | 0.0% / 0.0% |
| Idle: process CPU, 49 retained events per session | 12.8 / 11.8 ms per
second | 0.05 / 0.04 ms per second |
| Delivery wait, mean (480 events) | 3.48 / 4.22 ms | 1.91 / 1.81 ms |
| Delivery wait, p50 | 3.16 / 3.97 ms | 0.83 / 0.58 ms |
| Delivery wait, p95 | 7.78 / 8.49 ms | 6.36 / 7.47 ms |
| Delivery wait, max | 8.84 / 9.23 ms | 9.07 / 8.86 ms |
| Delivery wait of the turn's terminal event, p50 | 2.37 / 2.58 ms |
0.08 / 0.05 ms |

The idle cost grows with the retained event window, as the profile
predicts. With `PAPERCLIP_TRANSPORT_PUMP_DELTAS=400` (409 retained
events per session, one run each): idle event-loop utilization 3.4%
before and 0.0% after, idle process CPU 21.5 ms per second before and
0.08 after. Delivery wait in that run: mean 5.93 ms before and 3.55 ms
after, p95 16.27 ms before and 8.03 ms after, max 66.94 ms before and
14.04 ms after.

Delivery wait is the time from the moment a reader can see a committed
event to the moment the transport hands it to the driver. It is equal or
better at every point. The p95 and the max did not move much. They
belong to the first events of each turn, which wait for the turn start
response. That wait is a separate 10 ms poll (`waitForRunnerCommand`),
and this pull request does not change it.

File persistence (the local journal, which writes and syncs on the main
thread):

| Measure | Before | After |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Idle: state reads per session per second | 363 / 364 | 0 / 0 |
| Delivery wait, 12 sessions, mean | 10.33 / 13.76 ms | 11.88 / 12.73 ms
|
| Delivery wait, 12 sessions, p50 | 6.04 / 6.87 ms | 6.34 / 6.20 ms |
| Delivery wait, 4 sessions and 400 events each, mean | 4.75 ms | 2.39
ms |
| Delivery wait, 4 sessions and 400 events each, p50 / p95 | 0.07 /
22.99 ms | 0.06 / 11.80 ms |

With 12 sessions the file journal saturates the main thread with its own
synchronous writes, and the wait is the time behind those writes. Three
more before-runs of that case gave means of 9.0, 14.0 and 20.2 ms, so
the two columns are the same within the noise. With 4 sessions the
journal does not saturate and the after column is better.

**Regression test (red, then green)**

```sh
pnpm exec vitest run src/live/runnerd-codex-transport-pump.test.ts
```

- `stops looking for events while an open session has none to deliver`
(file and external persistence). On the unchanged source: `expected 708
to be less than 100` and `expected 732 to be less than 100` state reads
in a 2 second idle window. With the fix: pass.
- `delivers each committed event in the next task, without a timer tick`
(file and external persistence). The test freezes every interval timer,
runs a full turn, and checks that each event is delivered before a task
that the test queues at the moment the event becomes readable. This is
an order check and does not depend on the speed of the host. On the
unchanged source: `the turn's events were delivered without a periodic
poll: expected false to be true`. With the fix: pass.
- Result: 4 of 4 failed on the unchanged source, 4 of 4 passed three
times with the fix, and 4 of 4 passed again after the rebase.

**Other local checks**

- `node ./node_modules/typescript/bin/tsc -p tsconfig.json --noEmit` and
`-p tsconfig.test.json --noEmit` in `packages/paperclip-runner`: pass on
the rebased commit.
- `pnpm exec vitest run src/live/runnerd-codex-transport` (15 files, 455
tests). These suites cover attachment, recovery, warm transition,
suspension, and release and resume on real `runnerd` processes. Before
the rebase, on a quieter host: all passed. On the rebased commit, at a
host load average of 15 to 20: 454 passed and 1 failed. The failure is
the terminal-replay row that is described below.
- `pnpm exec vitest run src/live src/control-plane
src/native-session-runtime.test.ts src/backends
src/drivers/dot/runnerd-dot-driver.test.ts
src/drivers/muse/runnerd-muse-driver.test.ts
src/drivers/codex/codex-protocol-integrity.test.ts --maxWorkers=3` (81
files): 1566 passed, 32 failed, 6 skipped. The failures:
- 30 failures in `runnerd-acpx-permission-ordering.test.ts` and
`runnerd-acpx-permission-forwarding.test.ts`. Both replace the control
plane with a fixture that appended events in place and relied on the 5
ms poll to notice them. The fixture now implements
`onReadableStateChange` and notifies its readers when it emits. Both
files pass (30 of 30).
- 1 failure in `runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts`, `stops a lost
runnerd's provider and escaped tool job from its lineage journal
(journal=true)`: `runner did not durably suspend before checkpoint`. It
passed 3 of 3 when run again alone.
- 1 failure in `runnerd-codex-transport-settlement.test.ts`, the
terminal-replay row of `settles only retained control authority without
starting another provider turn`: `native_cleanup_maintenance_unproven`,
with events still in the runner outbox. It failed again in 2 runs of
that test group and in the rebased run above, each time while the host
load average was 11 to 20. At a load average near 8 it passed 3 of 3
alone and 1 of 1 as a group with the fix. The unchanged master source
(`c8ae02e5ce`) gives the same result: it passed 2 of 2 alone and 1 of 1
as a group at a load average near 8, and the same row failed with the
same error (`native_cleanup_maintenance_unproven`, 27 events still in
the runner outbox) in a group run at a load average of 11 to 15. So this
row is sensitive to host load with or without this change. The failing
step is the retained-session maintenance path. That path builds its own
control plane, has no transport pump, has no listener on the new
notification, and has a fixed 30 second deadline.
- `pnpm verify` returns exit 2 (broader verification required, because
of the new fixture file). CI supplies the broad coverage.
- Not run locally: the server test suites, the repository-wide
typecheck, and the build. CI ran them on `4bce83f50a`: 59 checks passed
and 4 were skipped (Storybook deploy, Storybook visual regression,
Sandbox provider tests, Select Vitest files).

## Risks

- **A change that does not notify.** With no periodic pass, an event is
delivered only when something wakes the pump. Every wake comes from one
of a small, closed set: the five places where the store replaces or
saves its state, the checkpoint publication, the recovered-cursor
update, and the transport's own identity and start points. A new code
path that changes readable state without one of these would leave an
event undelivered until the next change. The regression test runs a full
turn with every interval timer frozen, in both persistence modes, so a
missing wake on the normal path fails the test. The existing transport
suites (attachment, recovery, warm transition, suspension, release and
resume) now run with no timer that could hide a missing wake.
- **Delivery in the next task, not later.** An event now reaches the
driver up to 5 ms earlier. The pass still runs in its own task after the
commit, and the same gates hold a terminal event until the turn start
response is released. The order of events does not change.
- **No protocol, schema, Rust runner, or provider pack change.** The
contract fingerprint inputs are untouched. Saved state from an older
release resumes the same way.

DottaandPaperclip cda23f08ac fix(db): preserve legacy project reads during rolling upgrades (#20860)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip controls agent work while web servers change versions.
> - The old and new servers can share a database during that change.
> - Older servers still read and write the project environment column.
> - Migration 0466 removes that column before those servers stop
serving.
> - A later repair alone leaves a committed missing-column window and
loses values.
> - This pull request applies the exact drop and repair in one
transaction.
> - Old reads and saved values survive while current placement behavior
stays unchanged.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20835 and #20852.

**What happened?**

Migration 0466 drops `projects.environment_id`. The previous server
still selects that column and reads it during admission. Applying a
separate repair afterward leaves a window in which those requests fail.
The drop also removes saved values.

**Expected behavior**

A database that has not yet applied 0466 must keep the column and its
values visible to concurrent old servers throughout the upgrade. Both
published migration entries must be recorded truthfully. Current project
responses must keep the new workspace placement contract.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Use a database before migration 0466 with nonempty project
environment values.
2. Keep an old project writer transaction open and start the pending
migrator.
3. Start an old project read, then commit the writer.
4. Without this repair, the saved values disappear. With this repair,
the reader sees the preserved values and both migrations commit
together.

## What Changed

- Add migration 0467 to restore the legacy nullable UUID column and its
original foreign key. Leave the published 0466 SQL unchanged.
- Apply only the exact SHA-bound 0466/0467 pair in one transaction. Lock
the project table, retain nonempty values in a temporary table, execute
both real SQL files, restore values, and record both real journal
entries before commit.
- Apply the additive 0467 repair normally when 0466 was already
committed.
- Keep a deprecated database-only field and omit it from current project
API responses. Current placement logic stays unchanged.
- Add PostgreSQL regressions for concurrent old reads and writes,
idempotence, rollback, and an already-applied drop. Document the overlap
contract and retain the five newest generated snapshots.

## Verification

- Node 24 cached agent preflight passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/db/src/project-environment-overlap-migration.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/project-environments.test.ts -t 'project
environment rolling migration|saves storage, not'`: 4 passed in 32.57
seconds against real disposable PostgreSQL.
- Before the owner fix, the regression had two failures: saved values
disappeared and the restore-failure case committed. The fixed case
proves that both DDL and journal entries roll back together.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db typecheck` and `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/db check:migrations`: passed.
- `git diff --check`: passed. Migration 0466 bytes are unchanged. The
generated snapshot set is 0463 through 0467.
- Review found a raw DELETE response that still exposed the
database-only field. The delete projection now omits it; a real
authorized HTTP DELETE passed with successful cleanup. The concurrency
test now observes the old reader waiting inside PostgreSQL before
releasing the old writer. All three migration cases passed with that
barrier. Earlier HTTP fixture setup/cleanup failures remain recorded as
failed attempts; they were not product-regression passes.
- Candidate `047178538c0df3a9e382259a51635a6e46da5646` has fresh
Greptile 5/5 with no open findings. [Required final-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/43062354612)
passed, including build, typecheck, migration checks, all test shards
and the aggregate verification gate. The separate Superagent security
scan ended inconclusive/neutral; it did not produce a passed scan.
Deployed acceptance remains pending. No hosted database or app
deployment was changed by this branch.

## Risks

The pair takes a table lock for its transaction. Operators must retain
their normal lock and statement timeouts. Both SQL files and their exact
hashes must match before the pair runs. A failed restore rolls back the
drop and both journal entries.

If 0466 was already committed, 0467 restores the column and foreign key.
It cannot recover values that were already deleted by the earlier
release. This repair does not claim to recover those values.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex (GPT-6), with tool-assisted implementation and real
PostgreSQL qualification. The exact serving model ID and context window
are not exposed in this session.

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 a219dd7499 fix(runner): keep orphan-leaving tests apart from the verifying lineage reap (#20849)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Paperclip Runner stops a dead runnerd's provider and tool processes
from its process lineage journal
(`process_lineage::journal::reap_journals`)
> - The reap refuses its proof (`unattributed_orphan`) while any live
orphan (parent PID 1) of this user started after the dead runnerd's last
sample, whoever started it. This rule is deliberate
> - `cargo test` runs the runner-core lib tests in parallel in one
process, and several of those tests leave orphans of this user on
purpose
> - When one of those orphans starts during the reap in
`reaping_stops_a_dead_runners_provider_and_its_escaped_tool_job`, the
reap correctly refuses, and `ci / Verify Paperclip Runner (rust)` fails
> - This pull request keeps the orphan-leaving tests apart from that
reap with a test-only gate, and fixes a related zombie race in the
supervisor integration tests
> - The benefit is that the Runner Rust job stops failing on unrelated
pull requests

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20834. Refs #20770.

**What happened?**

`ci / Verify Paperclip Runner (rust)` failed intermittently in
`process_lineage::journal::tests::reaping_stops_a_dead_runners_provider_and_its_escaped_tool_job`
(journal.rs:649), for example in run 43044317310 on #20834. The panic
was `ReapReport { verified: false, reason: Some("unattributed_orphan"),
journals: 1, signalled: 4, remaining: [4178] }`. The test's own thread
was TID 4142, so the leftover process started while the test ran. The
same test failed once on #20770 and passed on re-run.

**Expected behavior**

The reap proves the test's provider and escaped tool job gone, and no
other test can make it refuse.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Build the runner-core lib tests for Linux (`cargo test --release -p
paperclip-runner-core --lib --no-run`).
2. Run the binary 40 times in `docker run --init --cpus 2 -e
RUST_TEST_THREADS=8`.
3. See `reaping_stops_a_dead_runners_provider_and_its_escaped_tool_job`
fail with `unattributed_orphan` (3 of 40 runs here).

## What Changed

- Root cause: the reap's orphan rule covers every process of this user
on the host. The reaping test and the orphan-leaving tests run in the
same test process at the same time. The test's own processes are always
attributed through the recorded group and session, so the leftover was
another test's orphan.
- `process_lineage::host_orphans` (test-only): a gate. A test that can
leave an orphan of this user holds `may_orphan()` until the orphan is
gone or a zombie. A test whose reap must verify holds
`no_foreign_orphans()`. Holders of `may_orphan()` never wait for each
other, so a test can hold several without a deadlock.
`wait_until_group_gone()` waits until a killed group has exited, because
a signal takes effect after `kill` returns.
- `reaping_stops_a_dead_runners_provider_and_its_escaped_tool_job` holds
`no_foreign_orphans()`.
- These lib tests now hold `may_orphan()`:
- `reaping_refuses_an_orphan_born_after_the_last_sample` (deliberate
orphan)
- the three `process_supervisor`
`*_stops_a_tool_job_that_left_its_session` tests (escaped tool job)
-
`orphaned_startup::restart_keeps_the_fence_while_a_child_survives_its_exited_leader`
(`sleep 30` outlives its leader)
- `exited_child_reader_deadline_bounds_continuous_descendant_stdout`
(flooding subshell outlives the Codex provider)
- `a_timed_out_turn_start_never_establishes_a_resumable_rejection`
(`sleep 10` can be orphaned for a moment during shutdown)
- the five `provider_backend` tests that use
`disconnected_receipt_limit_fixture` (`while :; do sleep 1; done`,
killed through `fence_local_receipt_limit`). The fixture returns its
guard first, so the guard is released after the executor stops the
provider
- the two `late_park_observation_*` tests (`cat >/dev/null` runs until
shutdown)
-
`a_held_cancellation_that_cannot_reach_the_provider_keeps_the_completed_turn`
(shutdown during `sleep 2`)
- New test
`a_verifying_reap_waits_for_held_orphans_and_holds_new_ones_back` checks
the gate's ordering.
- `tests/process_supervisor.rs`:
`forced_process_group_cleanup_stops_harness_and_worker` and
`natural_harness_exit_also_cleans_up_workers` slept 20 ms and then used
`kill -0` on a worker that was re-parented to init. `kill -0` succeeds
for a zombie, and init reaps it on its own schedule. The tests now check
that the process is not running (gone or a zombie), with no sleep.
Cleanup already proves that before it returns.
- No product code changes. The reap's orphan rule is unchanged.

Audit of the other tests in the job (`check:runner`):

- Only the runner-core lib binary can overlap the reap. `cargo test
--workspace` runs test binaries one after another.
- A second sweep, after review, checked every `/bin/sh` launch and every
external command (`sleep`, `cat`, `perl`, `nohup`, `touch`, `mv`) in
runner-core's `src/`, including `src/tests/*.rs`. The first sweep had
missed tests that start a provider through `CodexProvider::start` or
that live in `src/tests/`.
- Other lib tests that start processes are not affected. They run shells
that use only builtins (`configured_environment`, the other
`process_supervisor` and `codex_provider` tests,
`acpx_provider_session`), or run a short foreground `touch` that
finishes long before teardown
(`disconnected_codex_output_is_durable...`), or they start direct
children that the test waits for (`oom_score`, `exited_writer`,
`process_group_leader`). `publisher_crosses_real_codex_tool_boundary...`
is `#[ignore]`.
- The other `reap_journals` tests refuse before the orphan rule applies,
or (the orphan test) require only their own orphan in `remaining`.
- The `kill -0` checks in `tests/codex_provider.rs` and
`tests/acpx_park_preparation.rs` target direct children that runner-core
waits for before it returns, so they are deterministic.

## Verification

Linux runs used Colima on macOS (linux/arm64), `rust:1.97.1-bookworm`,
`--release`, and `docker run --init`, so orphans go to an init at PID 1,
as on CI.

- Full runner-core lib suite, `--cpus 2`, `RUST_TEST_THREADS=8`, 40
runs: before the fix, 3 runs failed with the CI signature. After the
fix, 0 runs failed, and no other test failed.
- The reaping test beside a temporary test that keeps leaving
short-lived orphans (not committed), `--test-threads 2`, 10 runs: before
the fix, 10 failed. After the fix, with the temporary test holding
`may_orphan()`, 0 failed.
- An orphan-leaving shell outside the test binary made the unfixed test
fail in 9 of 10 runs with the same signature. This confirms the
mechanism.
- After the review fix: macOS `cargo test --release -p
paperclip-runner-core --lib -- receipt_limit late_park_observation
a_held_cancellation process_lineage process_supervisor orphaned_startup
exited_child_reader_deadline a_timed_out_turn_start`: 65 passed. Linux
full lib suite (same settings) ×20: 0 failures.
- macOS (darwin-arm64): `cargo fmt --all -- --check` passes. `cargo test
--release -p paperclip-runner-core --lib -- process_lineage
process_supervisor orphaned_startup exited_child_reader_deadline
a_timed_out_turn_start`: 51 passed. `cargo test --release -p
paperclip-runner-core --test process_supervisor`: 7 passed.
- Worker cleanup tests: with `tini` as init, 60 unfixed runs on 0.5 CPU
with busy loops all passed, because `tini` reaps at once. In a container
whose PID 1 never reaps (`sleep infinity`), the unfixed tests fail at
`assertion failed: !process_exists(worker_pid)` because the killed
worker stays a zombie. The fixed tests pass. The unfixed tests depend on
how fast init reaps.

## Risks

- Low risk. All changes are in tests or `#[cfg(test)]` code.
- The gate covers the orphan producers that exist now. A new lib test
that leaves an orphan of this user must hold `may_orphan()`. The
`host_orphans` doc comment says so. Otherwise, it can make the verifying
reap refuse again.
- A process outside the test binary that leaves an orphan of this user
during the reap still makes the test refuse. This is correct product
behavior. CI runs no such process during `cargo test`.
- `no_foreign_orphans()` waits until every `may_orphan()` guard is
released, so the reaping test can wait a few seconds behind those tests.

DottaandClaude Fable 5.2 381b862135 fix(native): let a finish through after one stale-result refusal; rebuild a missing instruction bundle (#20833)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A native Codex run ends its task with a Paperclip terminal call
(`paperclip_finish` or `paperclip_block`)
> - The Runner refuses a terminal call that the agent decided before it
saw earlier tool results (`terminal_call_before_results`). This protects
against stale calls held across a restart.
> - On staging, Codex cancelled a nested exec cell. Codex never sent
`item/completed` for one Paperclip tool call in that cell. The Runner
then refused every later finish and block in the turn, and the turn
ended with no semantic result.
> - The same-run recovery then resumed the run on a new controller
container. The run's admitted instruction bundle is stored on the
controller's local disk, so it was missing there, and runnerd failed
with ENOENT.
> - This pull request makes a refusal name a returned call once, and
rebuilds a missing admitted instruction bundle before the Runner backend
starts.
> - The agent-directory lock part of the same failure chain ("Agent
directory operation is already active") is fixed separately by #20829.
> - The benefit is that the agent can finish after one refusal, and a
resumed run does not fail because a deploy moved it to a host without
the bundle.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20829 (the agent-directory lock wait and dead-owner release; this
PR does not change that lock).

**What happened?**

Staging Codex runs on Daytona sandboxes failed after about 30 minutes of
work:

1. Early in the turn, the agent called `paperclip_search_assigned_tools`
from a nested exec cell. Codex cancelled that cell. The controller
returned the result, but Codex never sent `item/completed`, so the
Runner never committed `tool.execution.completed` for it.
2. At the end, the agent called `paperclip_finish` four times and
`paperclip_block` once. The Runner refused each one with
`terminal_call_before_results` ("Those calls have now returned"). The
old call stayed "returned but unseen" for the rest of the turn.
3. The turn completed with no semantic result
(`native_finalization_missing`). Same-run recovery scheduled another
attempt.
4. On the new controller container, the attempt failed with
`runner_ingress_unavailable: runnerd process failed: ENOENT ... scandir
'/paperclip/instances/default/runtime-context-assets/bundles/<sha>'`
(one run) or `ENOENT ... lstat` of the same kind of path (a run during a
rolling deploy). In both, `<sha>` is the run's admitted instruction
bundle. The asset root is controller-local, and the new containers had
no volume.
5. The last attempt failed with "Agent directory operation is already
active" (fixed by #20829).

**Expected behavior**

The agent finishes after one refusal. A resumed run rebuilds its exact
admitted instruction bundle on the new host.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run a Codex task that calls a Paperclip tool, then
`paperclip_finish`.
2. Drop Codex's `item/completed` for the first tool call (new chaos
fault `--faults PV2 --provider-fault-message tool_completed`).
3. On master, every `paperclip_finish` is refused and the run ends with
`native_finalization_missing`.
4. Separately, delete `runtime-context-assets/bundles/<instruction
digest>` and resume a run that pinned it: runnerd fails with ENOENT.

**Paperclip version or commit**

master at 1d67e309e0.

## What Changed

- `packages/paperclip-runner/src/live/terminal-call-freshness.ts` and
`runnerd-codex-transport.ts`: when the Runner refuses a terminal call
with `terminal_call_before_results`, it records the refused call id with
the returned-but-unseen call ids it named. A later terminal call ignores
those calls only when the refused call's `tool.execution.completed` (the
refusal reached the provider) is committed before the later call starts.
A terminal call queued before the refusal reached the provider, a call
that was pending at the refusal, and a call made after it are judged as
before. The record is in memory, so after a Runner restart the agent can
get one more refusal.
- `server/src/services/native-runtime/runtime-context.ts`: new
`rehydratePinnedInstructionAsset`. When the admitted instruction bundle
is not present on this host, it rebuilds it from the agent's instruction
revision whose content has the admitted digest (single-file bundles), or
from the current instructions when they still produce the admitted
digest. It never substitutes different content. When nothing matches, it
leaves the context unchanged.
- `server/src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.ts`:
`createRunnerdBackendWithinSessionClaim` calls it before the backend
starts. When the bundle is present this is two local file reads.
- Restart chaos: new provider message `tool_completed` for the Codex
shim (PV1/PV2/PV3). It targets Codex's `item/completed` for the first
Paperclip tool call that is not a finish or block. Config accepts it
with A1 and C1 on Codex only. The README documents it.

## Verification

- RED on master (fix reverted, new tests kept): `vitest run
src/live/terminal-call-freshness.test.ts` in `packages/paperclip-runner`
fails with `expected [ 'paperclip_search_assigned_tools' ] to deeply
equal []`.
- GREEN: `terminal-call-freshness.test.ts` 13 passed; the transport
tests for terminal calls pass, including a new test where the first
finish is refused and the second is dispatched, and tests where a queued
stale terminal call and a late-returning pending write are still
refused.
- `server/src/__tests__/runtime-skill-preservation.test.ts`: 9 passed,
including the new test that deletes an admitted instruction bundle and
its manifest, then rebuilds the exact bundle from the revision history
while a newer revision exists.
- `vitest --config tests/restart-chaos/vitest.config.ts
provider-faults.test.ts`: 22 passed.
- Chaos wave `w-20261111T150212-s301` (`--env local --adapters codex
--workloads A1 --faults PV2 --provider-fault-message tool_completed
--tasks 1 --seed 301`): 1/1 PASS, `provider_fault_applied` applied=1,
R1–R6 and the A1 oracle pass.
- `pnpm verify` asks for broader verification (a restart-chaos README
change is a global CI input); required CI supplies it.

## Risks

- The terminal-call change lets a later finish through when a returned
call never reaches the agent. The earlier refusal named that call and
reached the provider first, so the agent decides with that knowledge.
- The instruction rebuild adds two local file reads before the Runner
backend starts. It writes only when the bundle is missing, and only
bytes whose digest equals the admitted digest.
- Not covered here: a multi-file (legacy) instruction bundle whose
content changed since admission still cannot be rebuilt; a skill bundle
with neither a version id nor a preservation receipt is not rebuilt; the
runner-side quarantine after an S3 `SlowDown` during the post-turn
harness backup.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 57f1afdf19 fix(daytona): retry a sandbox create that timed out before any agent work (#20828)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - On a Daytona sandbox environment, every new task run first creates a
fresh sandbox
> - When one Daytona create did not start, the plugin waited the full
300 s acquisition budget
> - The run then failed `setup_failed` with `lease_acquire_failed`. No
agent work had started, but nothing retried it
> - On staging this hit two agents in 15 minutes. Each attempt used
about 5 minutes, and the task stopped until a person pressed Retry. The
manual Retry then got a sandbox in 28 s
> - This pull request ends a stuck create early, adopts a create that
started late, and routes the timeout to the bounded bootstrap retry that
already exists for transient provider refusals
> - The benefit is that a stuck create costs about 90 s and recovers by
itself. The task shows Retry only after the bounded attempts are used up

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20626 (bounded resume of a reusable sandbox), Refs #20212 (wait
out a Daytona state change), Refs #20609 (force a stuck stop).

**What happened?**
A run on a Daytona sandbox environment failed after 307 s with `Failed
to acquire lease for environment "Paperclip Sandbox" (sandbox): Daytona
lease acquisition timed out; allocation cleanup is pending`. The run
recorded `errorCode: setup_failed`, `failureCause:
lease_acquire_failed`, and `executionRecovery: { kind: "bootstrap",
providerWorkStarted: false }`. The task became blocked with Retry. No
automatic retry was scheduled.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Use a Daytona sandbox environment with the default `timeoutMs`
(300,000).
2. Start a run while Daytona keeps the new sandbox in `creating`.
3. See that the run waits 300 s, fails `setup_failed`, and is not
retried.

**Expected behavior**
A create that has not started before provider work must not cost 5
minutes. The run must retry by itself within bounds. A late sandbox that
has started must be used. A sandbox that was abandoned must be removed.

**Root cause**
- `packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona/src/plugin.ts`
(`onEnvironmentAcquireLease`): the only bound on the create step was the
whole acquisition budget (`timeoutMs`, default 300 s).
- `server/src/services/environment-provider-unavailable-error.ts`
(`readTransientEnvironmentProviderFailure`): only an HTTP status or
errno on the create call counted as transient. The timeout envelope
carries neither, so the run fell through to generic `setup_failed`,
which `isTransientWorkspacePreparationCode` does not retry.

## What Changed

- Daytona: one fresh acquisition is now capped at 180 s. A create that
has not returned after 90 s is looked up once by its creation name. A
sandbox in `started` is adopted, and setup continues. A sandbox in
`pending_build`, `building_snapshot`, or `pulling_snapshot` keeps
waiting inside the cap. Any other state ends the attempt with the
existing cleanup envelope and an acquisition diagnostic whose elapsed
time reached the expired budget.
- Daytona: a late SDK failure no longer runs the compensating delete for
a sandbox that was adopted.
- Host: `readTransientEnvironmentProviderFailure` reads the validated
acquisition diagnostic. An acquisition whose first failure was its own
deadline is transient. The run fails with
`environment_provider_unavailable`, category `timeout`, and uses the
bounded bootstrap retry (30 s, then 60 s). An earlier setup failure
stays `setup_failed`. Message text is never parsed.
- Host: the task reason for this case is plain: "The sandbox for ... did
not finish starting in time. No agent work had started. Paperclip
retries automatically ...".
- Docs: `doc/execution-semantics.md` and
`doc/plugins/SANDBOX_PROVIDER_CAPABILITIES.md`.

## Verification

Red before the fix, green after:
- `server/src/services/heartbeat/run-completion.test.ts` "routes a fresh
sandbox create that timed out through bounded bootstrap recovery" uses
the staging error shape through the orchestrator. Red: `errorCode` was
`setup_failed`. Green: `environment_provider_unavailable`, category
`timeout`, bounded retry scheduled. The `started` and `early_failure`
cases stay `setup_failed` with no retry.
- `server/src/services/environment-provider-unavailable-error.test.ts`:
deadline diagnostic is transient (red, then green). An early failure is
not. The task message is plain.
- `packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona/src/plugin.test.ts`: "ends
a create still pending at 90 seconds" (red: still pending at 90 s;
green) and "adopts a create that started by 90 seconds" (red; green, and
a late SDK rejection does not delete it). "keeps waiting for a create
that is still preparing its snapshot" is a safety case.
- Existing tests that encoded the 300 s acquisition budget now use the
180 s cap.

Commands run locally:
- `npx vitest run src/plugin.test.ts` (Daytona): 414 passed.
- `npx vitest run src/services/heartbeat/run-completion.test.ts
src/services/environment-provider-unavailable-error.test.ts
src/__tests__/environment-acquisition-diagnostics.test.ts
src/__tests__/task-interruption-query.test.ts`: 229 tests passed. The
run-completion file reports an `afterAll` embedded-Postgres teardown
timeout. The same timeout occurs on unchanged `origin/master`, so it is
a local platform fault.
- Daytona plugin `pnpm typecheck` and server `pnpm typecheck`: pass.
- `pnpm verify`: asked for broader CI coverage, because
`doc/execution-semantics.md` is a global CI input. Required CI supplies
that coverage.

Upgrade safety: nothing new is persisted. A task already blocked by this
failure keeps `canRetry: true`. Its Retry starts a new run with a new
creation record, and that run uses the new path. On staging, the manual
Retry of the affected task got a fresh lease in 28 s. The creation
record of the earlier attempt stays with the creation reconciler.

Not verified: a live Daytona create that stays in `creating`. That
cannot be forced on demand.

## Risks

- A legitimately slow create that stays in `creating` or `starting` for
more than 90 s now ends the attempt and retries. Snapshot preparation
states still wait inside the 180 s cap. Staging creates normally take
about 20 to 30 s.
- An abandoned create is removed by the creation reconciler. It can stay
alive until that reconciler settles the record (the existing settle
window). This PR does not change that window.
- Other sandbox providers get the host classification only when they
send the same acquisition diagnostic.

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 369e238295 fix(projects): make workspace storage the project's only placement choice (#20835)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A repository project gets its working files from core staging or
from a workspace storage plugin
> - #20459 reported that an installed storage plugin attached every new
repository project, so sandbox agents could not use those projects
> - #20587 fixed creation with an **Available in** choice that selects
storage
> - #20651 then saved an environment on every new project and used it
before the agent default to place runs. That solved a problem that did
not exist: the project needs storage, not a run environment
> - Creation saves the first environment of the chosen group, so a
project silently sends every agent's runs to that environment. Project
Configuration also shows two controls (Environment and Workspace
storage) for one decision
> - This pull request removes the project run environment and makes
storage the only placement choice a project owns. Storage is fixed at
creation
> - The benefit is that runs follow the agent again, and project
settings show one clear, read-only fact about storage

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20459. Follow-up to #20587 and #20651.

Refs #11644. That issue asks for a project-level run environment
override. This pull request removes the override that #20651 added for
it, because the override is not necessary to fix #20459. #11644 stays a
separate feature request.

Related: #18176 (open) repairs placement through the legacy
workspace-policy field. This pull request does not restore project
placement, so it conflicts with the direction of #18176.

## What Changed

- **Remove the project run environment.** Migration `0466` drops
`projects.environment_id`. Run placement no longer reads the project.
Runs use the agent default, then the instance default, then local
execution. The low-trust task sandbox and the enforced sandbox policies
keep their precedence.
- **Keep the #20651 recovery and binding guards.** A recovered run still
uses its admitted environment lease (source `run`). Company-binding
checks before admission and during lease creation stay.
- **Keep the creation choice.** **Available in** in New Project still
selects storage. It still shows only when the environments need more
than one storage owner. That can only occur when a storage plugin is
installed. `POST /projects` with `environmentId` selects the storage of
that environment and does not save the environment.
- **Fix storage at creation.** `PATCH /projects/:id` rejects any storage
change with `409 project_storage_locked`, from core to a plugin and from
a plugin to core. Before, a core project could move to a plugin.
- **Drop legacy writes.** Older clients can still send
`executionWorkspacePolicy.environmentId`. The service removes it on
create and update.
- **Simplify Project Configuration.** Remove the Environment and
Workspace storage selectors. Show an advisory **Available in** list of
the environments that can use the project's storage. Show it when a
storage plugin is installed or when the project uses one. When the
project's plugin is not installed, show **Storage plugin unavailable**.
Without a storage plugin, show nothing.
- **Issue workspace card.** Remove the "project default" environment
label.
- **Shared contract.** Remove `Project.environmentId`, the
`environmentId` project field, and `expectedStorageProviderPluginId`
from the update schema. The create schema keeps `environmentId` and
`expectedStorageProviderPluginId` from #20587.
- **Docs and maps.** Update `doc/project-environment-compatibility.md`,
`docs/api/goals-and-projects.md`, and the project feature and
agent-access maps.
- **SDK source pins.** Refresh
`tests/runner-e2e/source-sdk-public-inputs.json` for the two shared
files. The shared file blobs return to their values before #20651. The
refresh also corrects the `pnpm-lock.yaml` pin and `lockSha256`:
`master` pins an older lockfile blob than the one it contains.

## Verification

- Targeted server suites pass (227 tests): `project-environments`,
`project-workspace-provider.integration`,
`heartbeat/environment-selection`, `execution-workspace-policy`,
`environment-selection-route-guards`, `environment-run-orchestrator`,
`openapi-routes`.
- Related server suites pass (349 tests): `environment-service`,
`environment-routes`, `plugin-workspaces.integration`, `issues-service`.
- Targeted UI suites pass: `ProjectProperties.concurrency`,
`IssueWorkspaceCard`, `NewProjectDialog`,
`NewProjectDialog.managed-sandbox`, `ProjectDetail`.
- New tests:
- Creation saves storage, not an environment. Core and plugin projects
both reject a storage change with `project_storage_locked`.
  - A legacy policy `environmentId` is dropped on create and update.
- A new run follows the agent default for any project. A recovered run
keeps its admitted lease after the agent default changes.
- Project Configuration has no storage or environment selector. The note
is hidden without a plugin. It lists the core or plugin environments for
the project's storage. It shows **Storage plugin unavailable** for a
removed plugin.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`, `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/ui typecheck`, and `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared
typecheck` pass.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db check:migrations`, `pnpm
check:token-gates`, `node scripts/check-maps.mjs`, and `node
tests/runner-e2e/source-sdk-public-inputs.mjs <HEAD> --check` pass.
- Not run locally: the full `pnpm test:run`, `pnpm build`, and browser
suites. CI supplies that coverage.
- Manual check: open Project Configuration on an instance with a storage
plugin. Confirm that there is no Environment or Workspace storage
selector, and that **Available in** lists the environments.

## Risks

- **Migration.** `0466` drops `projects.environment_id` and its foreign
key. The migration deletes the saved project environments. Apply it
before you serve the new revision. An old server revision that reads
`projects` fails until it stops. This is the same pattern as earlier
drop-column migrations (`0229`, `0289`).
- **Behavior change for existing projects.** Projects created after
#20651 shipped have a saved environment that overrides the agent. After
this change, their runs follow the agent default again. This is the
intended fix. Before #20651, a project environment selection was not
applied to runs (#11644), so no older behavior is lost.
- **No path from core to a plugin.** A core project, including one
created before a plugin was installed, cannot move to the plugin. To use
plugin storage, create a new project.
- **API.** A `PATCH` that sends `environmentId` or
`expectedStorageProviderPluginId` no longer has an effect. The schema
strips these fields.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 0b8ba1ac92 fix(queue): show messages a booting run's first turn takes as sent (#20822)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Task chat lets a person send follow-up messages to a running agent,
and steer them into the live turn
> - A sandboxed run (for example on Daytona) can take minutes to boot
before its provider session exists
> - A message sent during that boot cannot be steered, so it waits in
the steering pane
> - The runner then puts the message into its first turn, and the server
removes it from the queue, but the view has no signal for this, so the
message stays in the steering pane as "queued"
> - That stale local entry also hides the queue id, so Steer and Discard
fail for every later message
> - This pull request tells the view which messages the first turn
takes, and drops local queue entries whose run has settled
> - The benefit is that a message sent while the sandbox boots shows as
sent at once, and later messages keep working Steer and Discard

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A person sent a follow-up while the agent's sandbox was booting. The
message stayed in the steering pane with Steer unavailable. After the
agent started, the message stayed there. The agent had received it in
its first turn. Later, Discard on that message failed with "Couldn't
discard. Message is still queued.", and a new message also stayed in the
steering pane.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Assign a task to a Paperclip Runner agent that runs in a Daytona
sandbox.
2. While the sandbox boots, send a follow-up message.
3. Wait for the agent's first response. The message is still in the
steering pane.
4. After the run hands off to a successor run, send another message and
try to discard the first one.

**Expected behavior**
A message sent while the run is starting shows as a sent message. Later
messages keep working Steer and Discard.

**Actual behavior**
The first message stays in the steering pane. Discard fails, and the new
message cannot be steered until the page reloads.

## What Changed

- `firstTurnQueuedCommentIds` (server, `first-turn-queued-input.ts`)
returns the messages in a deferred queue that the target run's first
turn already sealed, or will take while it is still starting. It uses
the same eligibility rule as `claimFirstTurnQueuedInput`. It reads only
lean columns, so the queue poll does not transfer run snapshots or large
wake payloads.
- The queue read path and the queue mutation path both put these ids in
a new optional `firstTurnCommentIds` field on `IssueQueuedCommentQueue`.
- The task view puts each of those messages in the conversation as input
of that run, at its submission time, and not in the steering pane.
- The task view no longer treats a saved message as a pending local
queue entry after its target run is no longer live. A request that is
still in flight keeps its original target.

## Verification

- Red-green server test: `issue-queued-comments-routes.test.ts` "reports
the messages a preparing/native run's first turn takes, before and after
it seals them" and "reports no first-turn messages once the run's turn
already started". Before the fix, `firstTurnCommentIds` was `undefined`.
- Red-green UI tests: `IssueDetail.test.tsx` "shows a message the
booting run's first turn takes as sent, not queued" (still starting, and
sealed) and "keeps queue controls for a new message after the run that
took an earlier one hands off". Before the fix, the queue held
`['new-message', 'boot-message']` and the queue id was withheld.
- Reproduced on staging first: the run's context held a first-turn
receipt for the stuck message, and the server queue had no entries,
while the view still showed it as queued.
- `npx vitest run` for `issue-queued-comments-routes`,
`queued-comment-consumption`, `queued-comment-postgres`,
`queued-comment-use-cases`: 172 passed. The existing queue-poll byte
budget tests still pass.
- `npx vitest run src/pages/IssueDetail.test.tsx
src/components/task-chat src/lib/issue-queued-comment-queue
src/lib/optimistic-issue-comments`: 1288 passed.
- `tsc --noEmit` for shared, server, and ui: no new errors.
- `pnpm verify` exits 2 because the change touches `packages/shared`.
Required CI supplies the broad coverage.

## Risks

- Low risk. The new field is optional and only for display. Delivery
still belongs to the first-turn claim and the deferred wake.
- If a starting run fails before its first turn, the field goes away and
the message shows in the queue again for the next run. This is correct,
because the deferred wake still holds it.
- The queue read adds one lean run read and one comment read only while
a deferred queue targets a running run.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 4529dfb77f fix(runner): keep Codex planning read-only on Daytona without network namespaces (#20820)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A planning task runs a native Codex agent in read-only planning mode
before the user approves a Plan
> - On a Daytona sandbox, every Codex planning run failed before its
first turn: `error creating thread: failed to load AGENTS.md
instructions for environment 'local': fs sandbox helper failed ...
bwrap: loopback: Failed RTM_NEWADDR: Operation not permitted`
> - Codex 0.160.0 reads files through a filesystem helper when the
permission profile restricts reads. That helper always runs bubblewrap
with `--unshare-net`. Daytona has no `CAP_NET_ADMIN`, so bubblewrap
cannot bring up loopback in the new network namespace
> - The planning profile must stay read-only. Codex's plan collaboration
mode is only a prompt, so the external-sandbox profile (#20808 tried it,
then reverted it) would let planning runs write files
> - This pull request keeps the read-only profile, but inside an
external sandbox it gives the profile full-disk read, no writes and
network. Codex then reads files directly and runs commands without a new
network namespace, and it still refuses writes
> - The benefit is that Codex planning works on Daytona and stays
read-only

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20808

**What happened?**
A Codex planning task on a Daytona execution environment failed at
startup. The run ended with `provider_session_open_rejected` and the
Codex message `bwrap: loopback: Failed RTM_NEWADDR: Operation not
permitted`. Standard and ask runs on the same sandbox worked.

**Expected behavior**
A planning run on Daytona starts, writes its Plan and asks for approval.
Codex must still refuse file writes and mutating commands during
planning.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Configure a native Codex agent with a Daytona execution environment.
2. Create a task in planning mode.
3. The first run fails before its first turn with the bubblewrap
loopback error.

## What Changed

- `createIsolatedCodexAppServerArgs`: when
`PAPERCLIP_RUNNER_EXTERNAL_SANDBOX=1`, the
`paperclip-runner-workspace-read-only` profile is now `{":root"="read"}`
(plus the brokered `GH_CONFIG_DIR` write that planning already had). Its
network still follows `PAPERCLIP_RUNNER_NETWORK_ACCESS`. It has no deny
entries, so Codex 0.160.0 treats it as full-disk read and skips its
filesystem helper, which always unshares the network. Local and SSH
planning keep the narrower profile unchanged.
- The Codex session context now records `rootAccess` `read` (planning)
or `write` (default) in an external sandbox, instead of always `none`.
- The Runner still sends `permissions:
"paperclip-runner-workspace-read-only"` and the plan collaboration mode
on `thread/start` and `turn/start` for planning. A new Rust test pins
that for an externally sandboxed read-only launch (no `sandbox:
danger-full-access`, no `externalSandbox` `sandboxPolicy`).
- A new Rust test proves that a launch saved with the previous planning
profile rules has the same stable launch identity as a launch with the
new rules, so saved sessions carry forward.
- New manual Product E2E suite `codex-planning-read-only`
(`runner-codex` on local and Daytona). The planning turn runs one shell
write, writes a Plan whose first line records the outcome, asks for
approval, and finishes after approval. A grader reads the run events and
fails if no write attempt was seen or if any write succeeded.
- `docs/codex-driver.md` describes the external-sandbox planning
profile, why it avoids the helper, and its read scope.

## Verification

- Red on Daytona, master `123ee31552`: [run
43029207500](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/43029207500),
cell `core-compatibility.runner-codex.daytona.plan-revise-accept` failed
twice with `error creating thread: failed to load AGENTS.md instructions
for environment 'local': fs sandbox helper failed with status exit
status: 1: bwrap: loopback: Failed RTM_NEWADDR: Operation not
permitted`.
- Planning turn completes on Daytona: [run
43031462803](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/43031462803),
cell `core-compatibility.runner-codex.daytona.plan-revise-accept`. The
planning run succeeded, saved a two-step Plan with the draft marker and
opened a confirmation for that revision (all API checks passed). The
cell then failed a later browser check: the Plan preview rendered as the
`task-chat-plan-preview-fallback` card, which the harness does not
accept. That is a separate UI placement gap.
- Write attempt on Daytona: [run
43038547892](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/43038547892),
cell `codex-planning-read-only.runner-codex.daytona.plan-write-refused`
on `f30aeb3e72`. The planning run succeeded and ran the shell write
`printf probe > plan-write-probe-....txt || echo WRITE_REFUSED`. It
ended `failed` with exit 1 and no file, because bubblewrap could not
start the command (`bwrap: setting up uid map: Permission denied`). The
write was refused fail-closed by the sandbox launcher, not by a
read-only filesystem error. The stricter grader in a3d43b7bfd reports
this case as 'sandbox failed to start' rather than a pass. Shell
commands in Daytona planning therefore do not run on the current image;
the driver doc records this as a remaining gap.
- Red/green unit test: `npx vitest run
src/drivers/codex/codex-security-config.test.ts` (in
`packages/paperclip-runner`). The new test failed on the unfixed code
(the profile was `":root"="none"` with `CODEX_HOME` denied and network
off) and passes with the fix.
- `cargo test --locked -p paperclip-runner-core --test codex_provider --
external_sandbox` and `cargo test --locked -p paperclip-runner-core
--lib -- external_sandbox_planning_profile_rules
runtime_launch_rebinding`: pass.
- `npx vitest run --config tests/runner-e2e/vitest.config.ts
tests/runner-e2e/codex-planning-read-only.test.ts
tests/runner-e2e/catalog.test.ts`: pass. `pnpm
test:e2e:runner:typecheck`: pass.
- Real Codex 0.160.0 app-server probe (macOS) with the generated launch
arguments and `PAPERCLIP_RUNNER_EXTERNAL_SANDBOX=1`: `thread/start`
returned sandbox `{"type":"readOnly","networkAccess":true}` and loaded
the workspace `AGENTS.md`; `command/exec` with the planning profile
refused `printf x > plan-write-probe.txt` (exit 1, `Operation not
permitted`, no file) and allowed `cat AGENTS.md`. Trace logs showed 0
filesystem-helper invocations with the new profile and 336 with the
previous restricted profile.
- Codex 0.160.0 source: `exec-server/src/fs_sandbox.rs` always sets
`NetworkSandboxPolicy::Restricted` for the helper,
`core/src/agents_md.rs` uses the helper only without full-disk read, and
`linux-sandbox` adds `--unshare-net` only for a restricted or proxy-only
network.

## Risks

- Inside an external sandbox, planning commands can now read the whole
sandbox filesystem, including the isolated Codex home. Default-mode
turns in the same sandbox already have full read and write access, so
this does not widen what the sandbox exposes. Local and SSH planning are
unchanged.
- Inside an external sandbox, planning shell commands fail closed on the
current Daytona image because bubblewrap cannot map user IDs there.
Planning still reads files and writes the Plan through Codex and
Paperclip tools.
- If a future Codex release adds deny-read entries or makes the helper
mandatory, planning on Daytona could fail again. The new Daytona E2E
suite detects that.
- Upgrade safety: the profile filesystem and network keys are excluded
from the stable launch identity, so saved sessions resume with the new
rules (new Rust regression). No persisted schema, pack contract or ACPX
profile changes.

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 ff8ec41e6a feat(runner): upgrade ACPX to 0.22.0 and move patched behavior into Paperclip (#20770)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Paperclip Runner and the shared `adapter-utils` engine run ACP
agents through the embedded ACPX library
> - Paperclip pins ACPX 0.13.1 and keeps a large patch
(`patches/acpx@0.13.1.patch`) on it
> - ACPX 0.22.0 adds host hooks (`onAcpMessage`, `assertActive`,
`processLifecycle`, prompt-response `_meta`, `spawnAgent`-friendly
launch) that make much of that patch unnecessary
> - A large patch is expensive to port and hides behavior that belongs
to Paperclip
> - This pull request upgrades to ACPX 0.22.0 and moves most patched
behavior into Runner and `adapter-utils`
> - The benefit is a patch that is 484 lines instead of 1,334, with the
moved behavior covered by Paperclip tests

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20675, #14430, #15075, #17942, #9980

**Proposed enhancement**
Upgrade the embedded ACPX library from 0.13.1 to 0.22.0. Keep only the
patch behavior that stock 0.22 cannot express.

**Motivation**
The 0.13.1 patch held behavior that Paperclip owns, for example usage
receipts, Copilot policy, model checks and the agent environment. Each
ACPX upgrade had to port all of it. ACPX 0.22 gives hooks that let
Paperclip do this work itself.

**Current behavior**
Runner and `adapter-utils` depend on 1,334 lines of patched ACPX 0.13.1
code.

**Expected behavior**
Runner and `adapter-utils` use ACPX 0.22.0. The patch keeps only:
extension methods, Cursor subagent routing, event `_meta` and the
message boundary chunk, the protocol guard hook, `spawnAgent`, and
`requestExtension`.

## What Changed

- ACPX 0.13.1 → 0.22.0 in Runner, `adapter-utils`, the server, the
Daytona runner images and the qualified profiles (`acpxVersion`).
`@agentclientprotocol/sdk` moves to 1.9.0.
- New `patches/acpx@0.22.0.patch` (484 lines). The 0.12.0 and 0.13.1
patches are removed.
- Delivery receipts: Runner confirms a permission reply when
`onAcpMessage` sees the exact outbound reply. Question and extension
replies count as delivered when Runner hands them back to ACPX. New
`interaction-delivery.ts`.
- Copilot policy: the existing policy function runs from `onAcpMessage`.
A violation stops the agent, cancels later permission requests and fails
the next prompt through `assertActive`.
- Model selection: stock 0.22 validation, plus a sidecar gate
(`createAcpxEffectiveModelGate`) that refuses a prompt if the agent
reports another model. Grok binds its model when the session opens.
Antigravity adds its concrete model to the model list ACPX reads.
- Typed session failures: Runner and `adapter-utils` read them from the
turn result `_meta` and fail the turn. They advertise the capability
themselves.
- Pi and Cursor usage receipts: a collector (`prompt-receipts.ts`) binds
them to the turn's own `session/prompt` reply.
- Goal capability: Runner reads it from the `initialize` reply. It keeps
it under `paperclip.goalCapability` in the saved agent capabilities
`_meta` and restores it when a saved session loads.
- Agent environment: Runner and `adapter-utils` set the agent
environment in `spawnAgent`. ACP terminals keep their current
environment. `adapter-utils` blocks inheritance of `XAI_API_KEY` and
refuses to start if the server has an `ACPX_AUTH_*` variable.
- `adapter-utils` spawn hooks (`spawnCwd`, stderr, `onAgentSpawn`): a
new `stockAcpRuntimeOptions` maps them to stock `spawnAgent` and
`processLifecycle`.
- Windows: ACPX 0.22 rejects raw command strings on Windows.
`adapter-utils` now passes an argv array there.
- Grok rules: a Runner guard (`grok-session-rules.ts`) writes
`session/new` `_meta.rules`.
- Turn-dispatch journal (#20675): ACPX 0.22 ignores errors from
`onAcpMessage`. The adapter keeps a failed `dispatched` write and throws
it from the turn's `assertActive`. ACPX calls `assertActive` before the
prompt write, so the write still stops. The real-ACPX test now checks
this route. `docs/durable-recovery.md` is updated.
- Plan events: the sidecar reads 0.22 `status` events tagged `plan`.
- CI: the backup-checkpoint lane now installs through the shared
`setup-ci-dependencies` action, like PR CI, so it resolves a stale
`pnpm-lock.yaml` in place. It runs on any root `package.json` change,
and pull requests never commit the lockfile, so its own frozen install
failed on dependency changes.
- Tests that checked removed patch internals are removed or rewritten:
the response-delivery, Cursor-usage and Pi-receipt package contracts,
and the goal-persistence packaging test. New unit tests cover the moved
behavior.

## Verification

Local runs on macOS (darwin-arm64), Node 26, on the rebased head:

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec vitest run
src/drivers/acpx src/cli`: 2,000 passed.
- `tsc -p packages/paperclip-runner/tsconfig.json` and
`tsconfig.test.json`: no errors, except the existing
`@paperclipai/paperclip-eval-kernel` build gap in `workflow-harness.ts`.
- Runner package contracts (`node --test
test/acpx-*-package-contract.test.mjs
test/acpx-sidecar-contract.test.mjs`), `scripts/build-inputs.test.mjs`,
`scripts/contracts/contract-fingerprints.test.mjs`,
`scripts/acpx-patch-packaging.test.mjs`: all pass. `node
scripts/generate-acpx-sidecar-contract.mjs --check` passes.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --test acpx_park_preparation
--test acpx_park_readiness --test acpx_warm_attachment --test
native_provider_backend`: 86 passed. `cargo fmt --check` passes.
- `adapter-utils`: `tsc` clean. `vitest run src/acpx-engine
src/mcp-isolation.integration.test.ts`: 457 passed (one Gemini flag test
failed once under load and passes when run alone).
- Adapters: `claude-local` and `codex-local` `acp.quota.test.ts` (23 and
39 passed), `grok-local` (149 passed).
- Server: `scripts/prepare-runner-vendor.test.mjs`,
`native-session-executor.test.ts`, `quarantined-task-retry.test.ts`
(1,416 passed).
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --lib -- previous_acpx_release
acpx_upgrade unrestorable_saved_sessions`: 3 passed. `node --test
test/acpx-session-carry-forward-package-contract.test.mjs`: passes.
- `patch -p1 --forward` on a clean `acpx-0.22.0.tgz` gives output
identical to the port.
- Under full-suite load, some Runner live and recovery tests time out.
Each one passes when run alone. Full regression is left to CI.

Not run: live provider runs (they need provider credentials), the opt-in
Kimi live peer test, the Gemini filesystem smoke test, and Windows.

## Risks

- Previous-release story: sessions saved by the previous release (ACPX
0.13.1) carry forward. ACPX 0.22 loads the session records 0.13.1 wrote.
Runner moves a saved descriptor that names 0.13.1
(`CARRIED_ACPX_RELEASES`) to 0.22.0, and the sidecar keeps 0.13.1 as the
ACPX value in the session identity, so the saved session key and
identity record still match. The existing launch-profile rebind still
decides which sessions resume: a settled session, or the same run's
interrupted turn through lost-turn recovery. A session saved by any
other ACPX release is still refused as `provider_state_incompatible`.
`rules/acpx-profile-identity.mdc` and `docs/durable-recovery.md` now
describe this.
- Proof: `acpx-session-carry-forward-package-contract.test.mjs` resumes
a session record written by the real ACPX 0.13.1 with its Paperclip
patch. 0.22 loads the same provider session (no `session/new`), runs a
turn and keeps the earlier turn. Rust tests cover a settled 0.13.1
session that the next run attaches to, and a turn interrupted by the
upgrade. A recovery-identity test checks that the session key and
identity record match across the versions.
- `pnpm-lock.yaml` is not committed. CI resolves it for each run, and
the lockfile refresh workflow updates it after merge.
- Behavior change on the server: `adapter-utils` refuses to create an
ACPX runtime if the server environment has an `ACPX_AUTH_*` variable.
Before, ACPX ignored such variables. Stock 0.22 would use them to
authenticate agents with server credentials.
- Delivery confirmation is now Runner-owned. A permission reply is
confirmed by the exact outbound message. Question and extension replies
are confirmed when Runner hands them to ACPX, not when the pipe accepts
them.
- Users can select only models that the agent advertises. Stock 0.22
rejects other model IDs (Claude is exempt).
- ACP terminals keep the sidecar or server environment, as before. This
existing exposure is not changed by this pull request.
- The `adapter-utils` Gemini version probe now runs with the server
environment plus the run variables, not the run variables alone.
- The pack contract digest and profile `acpxVersion` change, so Daytona
needs a new runner image.
- Grok launch flags (`--model`, `--reasoning-effort`) were checked on
1.0.13 but session open needs a login, so Grok keeps the existing
`_meta` path.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 34f2bb78ee feat(connections): connect Sentry with a long-lived user auth token (#20823)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents use app connections to call provider tools, such as the
Sentry MCP server
> - The Sentry connection has only one method: browser sign-in through
the hosted MCP OAuth server
> - That grant expires. An unattended triage agent loses Sentry access
until a person signs in again
> - During that time, a scheduled triage routine completes each run but
reads no Sentry data
> - This pull request adds a second Sentry method that uses a user auth
token
> - The benefit is a Sentry connection that stays valid until a person
revokes the token

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**
App connections: the Sentry entry in the connection catalog.

**Problem or motivation**
A Sentry connection that was created with browser sign-in on 2026-10-11
changed to "OAuth authorization expired. Reconnect this app to
continue." at 04:01 UTC on 2026-11-10. The agent that used it had no
Sentry tools after that time. Each hourly triage run reported the
blocker but could not continue. Unattended agents need a Sentry
connection that does not need a person to sign in again each month.

**Proposed solution**
The hosted Sentry MCP server accepts a Sentry user auth token in the
`Authorization: Sentry-Bearer <token>` header. It reserves `Bearer` for
its own OAuth tokens. Paperclip API-key methods already support a custom
header prefix. Add a Sentry API-key method that uses this header.

**Alternatives considered**
Reconnect with browser sign-in again. That restores access only until
the next grant expiry.

## What Changed

- Add the `mcp-user-token` method ("Use a user auth token") to Sentry in
`scripts/ingest-app-definitions.mjs`. It uses the same server URL and
sends the token as `Authorization: Sentry-Bearer <token>`.
- Regenerate `packages/shared/src/app-definitions/sentry.json`. I did
not include unrelated output that the content corpus drift caused for
other providers.
- Add a permission review entry for the new method in
`doc/connections/tool-method-permission-reviews.json`.
- Add a test for the new method and its header prefix.
- Document the token method, its required scopes, and its ownership risk
in `doc/connections/SENTRY.md`.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run packages/shared/src/app-definitions.test.ts`: 40
passed. The new assertion fails on `master` because Sentry has only one
method there.
- `pnpm exec vitest run src/__tests__/tool-access-service.test.ts -t
Sentry` (server): 2 passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/pages/apps/app-connect-policy.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/satisfied-connection-intents.test.ts`: 64 passed.
- `pnpm verify` returned exit 2 (a doc is a global CI input). Required
CI supplies the broad coverage.
- Live probe of `https://mcp.sentry.dev/mcp` with an `initialize`
request: `Authorization: Sentry-Bearer <invalid token>` starts an MCP
session (the token is checked on tool calls). `Authorization: Bearer
<same token>` returns `401 invalid_token`. This confirms the server
accepts the header scheme.
- Not done yet: a real agent tool call with a real token after
deployment.

## Risks

- Low risk. This adds a method. The existing OAuth method and saved
connections do not change.
- A user auth token acts as its creator and lasts until revoked. The
method guidance and docs say this. Rotate the token when that person
leaves.
- If Sentry changes the `Sentry-Bearer` scheme, connections that use
this method fail on tool calls. The OAuth method still works.

DottaandClaude fd1460bb24 fix(native): continue a governed-wait follow-up in a fresh session when its saved provider state is gone (#20809)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The restart chaos harness (`tests/restart-chaos/`) runs real agent
tasks and breaks the control plane on purpose, so failures show up
before staging users see them
> - A census of 48 hours of staging failures found runs whose result
save-back failed because the sandbox disk was full (class F). The
harness never filled a sandbox disk, so it missed that class
> - #20758 made a full-disk save end recovery at once with cause
`sandbox_disk_full` and a Retry. Nothing in chaos exercised that path
end to end
> - A real full disk cannot be made on demand. The owner chose a
test-only hook that makes the save report a full disk, not a small disk
> - This pull request adds the hook at the save's sandbox boundary and a
DF1 fault that arms it, clears it, and grades the result
> - The benefit is that every wave can now check the disk-full rest, the
Retry offer, and that Retry works after space is freed

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20758 (product behaviour under test), #20678 (finalization hands a
full-disk copy-back to recovery)

**What is the problem?**
The chaos harness had no fault for a full sandbox disk during result
save-back. Staging saw this failure (census class F in
`doc/plans/2026-11-11-staging-failures-vs-chaos-coverage.md`), and chaos
could not reproduce it.

**What is the expected behaviour?**
A wave can schedule DF1. While DF1 is armed, the task's final workspace
saves fail as a full disk. When DF1 is cleared, saves succeed again. The
task must rest with `sandbox_disk_full` and a Retry, and that Retry must
finish the task.

**Why does it matter?**
Without a fault, a regression in the disk-full path (no Retry, a wrong
cause, or a Retry that does not work) reaches staging users before chaos
sees it.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/sandbox-disk-full-fault.ts` (new, test-only):
`sandboxDiskFullFaultTarget` wraps the target of a final save only when
the harness armed that save. The capture commands then exit 1 with the
exact message the in-sandbox script writes on ENOSPC, and the provider
download fails with `No space left on device`. The gate follows
`@paperclipai/shared/crash-points`: `PAPERCLIP_DISK_FULL_FAULT_CONTROL`
is read once at import and ignored under `NODE_ENV=production`.
Disarmed, the hook is one comparison and returns the save's own target.
- `server/src/services/remote-workspaces.ts`: the capture call in
`saveRemoteWorkspace` passes its target through the hook. No other
product change. `workspace-recovery.ts` is not touched.
- `tests/restart-chaos/disk-full-faults.ts` (new): the DF1 kind, the
control-file seam (atomic writes), the rest evidence
(`activeRecoveryAction.evidence.systemRecovery.failure.cause.label`),
the `disk_full_fault` T check, and the DF1 R3 rule (one expected Retry
that must finish the task).
- Harness wiring: `--faults DF1` (refused without `--env daytona`, with
a storm, or with PV faults), no scheduled restart, arm at launch, clear
at the first rest just before the Retry click, receipts in
`<wave>/disk-full-faults.jsonl`, and ledger fields `diskFull: {
faultedSaves, restedDiskFull, retryOffered, retryWorked }`.
- Docs: a "Sandbox disk full (DF1)" section in
`tests/restart-chaos/README.md`, and the census plan marks DF1 as built.

## Verification

- `cd server && pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/sandbox-disk-full-fault.test.ts`: the gate is off by
default and under `NODE_ENV=production`, the save's own target comes
back when disarmed, only a listed final save is faulted, the product
capture turns it into the named disk-full failure, and clearing the file
disarms the next save.
- `pnpm exec vitest run --config tests/restart-chaos/vitest.config.ts
tests/restart-chaos/disk-full-faults.test.ts
tests/restart-chaos/grader.test.ts tests/restart-chaos/scheduler.test.ts
tests/restart-chaos/provider-faults.test.ts`: planning, the control
file, and grading.
- `node scripts/typecheck-test-projects.mjs tests/restart-chaos` and the
server `tsc --noEmit`: clean.
- Live wave: a Daytona DF1 wave is running. Its result is added here
before merge.

## Risks

- Low risk for production. The hook reads its variable once at startup
and is ignored under `NODE_ENV=production`. Without the variable it does
one comparison and returns the same target object.
- The hook fails every sandbox command of an armed capture, including
the read-only fallback's inventory. A real full disk can let that
inventory succeed and fail later at the download. The outcome is the
same (`sandbox_disk_full`), but the fallback's inventory step is not
exercised under DF1.
- DF1 runs only with `--env daytona`. A local run has no sandbox
workspace save, so the harness refuses DF1 there.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (Anthropic, model ID `claude-opus-5-5`), in Claude

DottaandPaperclip 81c9143fe4 fix: upgrade Better Auth to 1.7.16 with account migration (#18906)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - The board uses Better Auth for credential accounts and sessions.
> - The server pins Better Auth 1.7.2.
> - The November security release fixes 12 issues in Better Auth.
> - The new version stops writing the old required account issuer field.
> - This change updates the packages and the database contract together.
> - New users can sign up, and existing users can still sign in.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
The server uses Better Auth 1.7.2. The [security
release](https://better-auth.com/blog/security-release-2026-11-03) fixes
12 issues in 1.7.16. Earlier update PRs #17909 and #17911 target 1.7.7,
which is below this security release.

**Expected behavior**
Use the patched stable release. Keep new and existing credential
accounts usable.

**Steps to reproduce**
Read the server dependency pin. Upgrade it without a schema change.
Better Auth then rejects the required account issuer column. See the
[upgrade guide](https://better-auth.com/docs/guides/1-7-upgrade-guide).

## What Changed

- Pin Better Auth to 1.7.16. The repository refresh bot owns the
committed Core lockfile.
- Make the old issuer column nullable. Keep existing issuer values.
- Replace the issuer index with a unique provider/account index.
- Generate the migration and retain the five newest schema snapshots.
- Test new signup, new-account sign-in, legacy issuer sign-in, duplicate
rejection, and separate provider identities with real PostgreSQL.
- Update the database schema test. Test the historical issuer backfill
separately. Verify upgrades over existing rows and rollback on duplicate
provider/account keys.
- Document the duplicate check and migration order.
- Add the approved two-line dependency resolution step before the backup
job’s frozen install. Leave the frozen check and backup tests intact.

## Verification

- Core head: `af70282c7e24335b8688c8f3cc88fdf65045632c`; parent
`0f1481e4462100357a7caa496b875cf0bc500d95` includes master `84fc67317`.
- Nine changed files. The only workflow edit is the approved two-line
backup dependency resolution step; no managed lockfile edits.
- Migration `0465_better_auth_account_identity.sql` is three SQL
statements; snapshot changes only `public.account`, five newest
snapshots retained.
- DB typecheck and 23 focused tests passed on the parent. Both real
PostgreSQL migration/signup suites were rerun November 11: all 4 tests
passed. Application source and tests are unchanged in this workflow-only
commit.
- The parent’s sandbox-provider lane passed all 205 file-sync tests but
reported an unhandled EPIPE during the symlink rejection case; its
aggregate verify therefore failed. No unrelated source change was made.
The new head reruns the full applicable CI.
- Reproduced the old backup install failure locally. Resolving manifests
followed by a frozen install passed locally; restored the bot-owned
committed lock afterward. Hosted backup qualification remains required.
- Current-head CI and review are running; no final-head green claim or
merge yet.

## Risks

Apply the migration before the new server starts. Check for duplicate
provider/account pairs first. Duplicate rows stop index creation. Keep
separate users separate when resolving duplicates. The migration keeps
issuer data. Do not restore its NOT NULL constraint while new rows
contain null. No deployment is included.

## Model Used

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 fa3cd6f330 fix(native): end provider startup rejections with Retry instead of an ownership hold (#20808)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The Paperclip Runner starts Codex for native runs. On a remote
sandbox such as Daytona, the sandbox is the OS boundary.
> - A Codex planning run on Daytona failed in `session.open`. Codex's
read-only sandbox helper could not set up loopback in the container
(`bwrap: loopback: Failed RTM_NEWADDR`), and Codex loads `AGENTS.md`
through that helper.
> - The server treated that definite provider rejection as an
interrupted transport. Its same-run bootstrap retry went through remote
restart recovery and stopped on `ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`.
The task showed "Recovering saved work…" and no Retry, although no
provider work was done.
> - This pull request gives such startup rejections a named, permanent
outcome with a working Retry, and pins ask and standard runs to the
external sandbox policy.
> - The benefit is that a provider startup refusal ends as a clear
failure with Retry, never as an ownership hold.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A Codex planning run on a Daytona sandbox failed in `session.open` with
`error creating thread: failed to load AGENTS.md instructions ... bwrap:
loopback: Failed RTM_NEWADDR: Operation not permitted`. The server
recorded `native_session_interrupted` with recovery mode
`bootstrap_retry`. Thirty seconds later, remote restart recovery blocked
the run with `native_restart_recovery_blocked` /
`ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`. No server restart happened. All
default-mode Codex runs on the same image succeeded that day; only the
planning run failed.

**Expected behavior**
A provider startup failure with no provider work must end as a clear
failure with a working Retry, or get a bounded automatic retry that also
ends with Retry. It must never become an ambiguous-ownership hold.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-startup-rejected-retry.integration.test.ts`.
On master the deterministic case is `retryable_failure` /
`native_session_interrupted`.
2. `npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts -t "provider
itself rejected"`. On master the new code is not produced.

**Paperclip version or commit**
master at 84fc67317e.

## What Changed

- Server (`native-session-executor.ts`): new permanent code
`native_provider_startup_rejected`.
- A definite `session.open` failure maps to it when its startup
`providerFailure` is `requires_action` for `authentication`,
`permission` or `invalid_request`.
- On a remote execution target (`nativeRemoteStartupRejectionCode`), any
definite `session.open` failure with a startup `providerFailure` maps to
it. A remote same-run bootstrap after the runner launched cannot prove
ownership and stops on `ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`.
- The run ends as `terminal_failure` with a board owner and a plain next
action. The board offers Retry, which starts one new run with a fresh
provider session.
- On a local target, unknown, transient, rate-limit, quota and model
startup failures keep the bounded same-run retries and end as
`native_session_retry_exhausted` with Retry. That code is unchanged
because the chat-channel failed-run retry depends on it.
- Runner: planning runs keep Codex's
`paperclip-runner-workspace-read-only` profile, also in an external
sandbox. Codex 0.160.0's plan collaboration mode is a prompt ("Plan Mode
(Conversational)") and does not block writes or commands, so it cannot
replace that enforcement.
- Ask mode: an ask task builds `executionMode: "default"`. Its launch
has `readOnly: false`, the external sandbox profile, and no
collaboration mode. Ask mode restricts only Paperclip mutation tools,
not the Codex sandbox.
- Tests:
- `native-startup-rejected-retry.integration.test.ts` (new, embedded
Postgres, Codex provider): a deterministic rejection ends at once with
`canRetry: true`, and Retry starts exactly one new run. Unknown and
transient local failures stay `retryable_failure`. A spent retry budget
ends `terminal_failure` with `canRetry: true`.
  - Unit tests for the deterministic, local-retry and remote rules.
- `runner-provider-launch.test.ts`: ask, standard and planning launches
in an external sandbox.
- The Rust external-sandbox test now fails if a non-planning turn sends
a collaboration mode (`--forbid-plan-collaboration` switch on the fake
app server).
- Docs: `packages/paperclip-runner/docs/codex-driver.md`,
`packages/paperclip-runner/docs/durable-recovery.md`,
`doc/execution-semantics.md`.

## Verification

- Red on master, green here: the commands in "Steps to reproduce".
- `npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts`: 1364 pass.
- `npx vitest run src/live/runner-provider-launch.test.ts`
(packages/paperclip-runner): 22 pass.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --test codex_provider
external_sandbox`: pass. `cargo fmt --check`: clean.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json`: clean.
- `pnpm verify` returned exit 2 (a global CI input changed). Required CI
supplies the broad coverage.

## Risks

- Codex planning on Daytona still fails at thread creation. With this
change it ends at once with the provider message and Retry instead of an
ownership hold. A follow-up must make Codex's read-only sandbox work in
that container, or add a verified Paperclip read-only guard. This PR
does not relax read-only enforcement.
- A remote startup failure that could clear by itself now needs a Retry
click instead of an automatic same-run retry. Before this change, that
retry ended in an ownership hold, so no working automatic path is lost.
- A false `native_provider_startup_rejected` costs automatic retries and
shows Retry earlier. It never replays provider work, because
`session.open` precedes every prompt.
- Saved state: no persisted shape or launch argument changes. A run that
an older release held on `ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence` after the
same rejection already offers Retry once its saved workspace is
recovered. No migration is needed.

DottaandPaperclip 84fc67317e feat(runner): export authorized read responses as artifacts (#20606)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native agents use authorized API reads to get task evidence.
> - Small responses return inline JSON, so an agent must copy each
document into a local helper.
> - Copying changes bytes and uses model output for data transport.
> - This pull request adds an explicit artifact export for non-sensitive
GET reads.
> - Helpers can download the exact response bytes and check their
identity.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The native `call_api` response capture path.

**Current behavior**

Small JSON responses have no artifact reference. Local helpers need the
model to copy the JSON data.

**Proposed behavior**

`saveResponse: true` saves a complete authorized GET response below or
above the inline threshold. Zero-byte success returns an explicit empty
receipt without storage. The receipt returns an artifact ID, byte size
and SHA-256 for `download_artifact`. Other callers keep the current
behavior.

Related work: #17393 covers saved app-tool result size. #18105 covers
mutation response paging. This change adds an explicit read export.

## What Changed

- Add GET-only `saveResponse` validation and capture through the current
artifact store.
- Refuse sensitive operations, denied reads, partial responses and
combined text paging.
- Keep route authorization, actor visibility, storage budgets and
download integrity checks.
- Update the native tool contract, generated catalogs and API guide.
- Add boundary and real-route byte comparison tests.
- Preserve saved run state. This is an optional input field; old calls
and receipts keep their current shape. No schema migration or identity
reset is needed. The seeded catalog fixture is generated.

## Verification

- Final published head `d47b52e1bf412418e24768f865cc139097a6d068`:
[typecheck, build, all tests, Linux Rust and aggregate verify
passed](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42918883477);
[Windows Rust
passed](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42918883348);
[quality gate
passed](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42918883016).
Greptile completed successfully at this exact head, 5/5; all five review
threads resolved. Automated Paperclip review remains queued due to a
failed reviewer run; no final verdict is claimed for that service.
- Current head: `d47b52e1bf412418e24768f865cc139097a6d068`. Merged
current master to refresh GitHub's stale base snapshot; the PR now
contains exactly nine intended artifact transport files, with no
lockfile or UI changes. Fresh final-head CI/review is required.
- Previous head `986ad87490fff93cfec313ba6fd56d3dc0bb665b` passed
typecheck, build, Rust verification, artifact/native suites and
completed test shards; remaining shards were still running when the base
snapshot was refreshed. Greptile was 5/5, with one unrelated master UI
finding resolved as outside the corrected PR diff.
- Review fixes verified at `986ad87490fff93cfec313ba6fd56d3dc0bb665b`:
2,135 checks passed across the five focused suites; Runner TypeScript
build and regenerated contract/catalog checks passed. This head replays
the original implementation on current master and retains the original
PR commit in its history.
- Review red/green at replayed baseline `da3a1d4de9`: empty HTTP 200/204
tests failed with real storage's `File is empty`, then passed with zero
new assets or quota reservations. Error-body tests failed without
size/truncation fields, then passed.
- Empty successes now return `empty: true`, `byteSize: 0`, `data: null`
without storage. Nonempty JSON results such as `[]` export normally.
Error receipts report byte size and truncation. Docs and tool guidance
state the existing 10 MiB download limit and paged text alternative.
- Previous-head CI typecheck/build/tests passed except the Rust
process-lineage cleanup test (`unattributed_orphan`); final-head CI and
fresh review remain required.
- Red at `7368a0b15c`: the small-document export test failed with
`Invalid call_api arguments` before production edits. The same check
passed after the change.
- Final post-rebase run at `6e7a35ed6a59bb74f4218312d9f10557099433c3`:
all 2,124 checks passed across the API, capture, artifact boundary,
real-route export and artifact download suites.
- Real-route export test passed: HTTP bytes, stored bytes and downloaded
bytes were equal. Foreign-company access and forged download metadata
were rejected.
- Existing API integration and artifact suites passed. Nearby API
integration checks also passed (59 passed, 2 skipped).
- Disposable native helper scan passed: 12 existing documents, 15 GET
requests, zero mutations, 73,919 bytes, 17.985 seconds. All files passed
size/hash checks. The bridge passed file references only. Production
token savings were not measured.
- Runner TypeScript build and generated contract checks passed.
- `pnpm verify` returned exit 2 and required broader CI coverage. Local
preflight stopped at missing Cargo after dependency and SDK setup. The
local server typecheck stopped during the cycle layer without a
diagnostic; the container recorded an OOM kill. This check has no pass
verdict. Required CI must cover typecheck, build and test at the final
head.

## Risks

- Each explicit export uses the current capture budget and storage
admission. Frequent small exports can reach that budget.
- An artifact holds one HTTP response. Callers must still follow list
pagination.
- No database or saved-state migration is required. The option does not
change default response behavior.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol`, through Codex in Paperclip Runner. Used reasoning,
shell execution and native tools. The active agent configuration
supplied this exact model ID.

DottaandClaude ea25af759e fix(native): name a resume that finds no saved Runner state, so Retry starts a fresh session (#20757)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A native run can continue the provider session of the previous run
on the same task. In a remote sandbox, the Runner keeps the session
state inside the sandbox, and the server saves a harness backup after
each run.
> - On staging, five runs in 48 hours failed with
`native_session_recovery_failed: Error: PRP provider resume state is
unavailable` (class P in
`doc/plans/2026-11-11-staging-failures-vs-chaos-coverage.md`).
> - In each case we read, the previous run had an accepted result, but
its `harness_state.backup.persist` failed. Its per-turn sandbox was then
destroyed. The next run started in a new sandbox with no Runner state
for the session.
> - The Runner transport threw an untyped error. The runtime could not
tell it apart from a transport drop. A governed-wait or same-session
checkpoint ended as a generic `native_session_interrupted` with an
"ambiguous state" hold that said not to open a replacement session.
> - This pull request types that refusal and lets the driver classify it
as `provider_state_incompatible` when nothing is in flight. The existing
recovery policy then decides.
> - The benefit is that the run ends with the permanent named code
`native_provider_state_incompatible`. Retry, or the next message,
continues in a fresh provider session in the same workspace. No provider
turn or tool call can be repeated, because the follow-up never started a
turn.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20712, #20723 (the same classification for a moved remote
workspace root). Refs #20691 (fixes the `provider_identity_incomplete`
part of class P).

**What happened?**

1. Run A on a chat task finished. Its result was accepted. Its harness
backup failed to save (`harness_state.backup.persist` failed,
`native.post_result_failure`).
2. Run B started for the next chat message in a new sandbox. It rebound
run A's checkpoint with `providerRecoveryPolicy:
allow_replacement_after_governed_wait`.
3. The Runner found no control-plane state and no archived authority
epoch. It threw `PRP provider resume state is unavailable` as a plain
`Error`.
4. The runtime refused a replacement for the governed-wait policy and
failed run B with the generic `native_session_recovery_failed`. The task
stayed blocked with an "ambiguous state" hold.

**Expected behavior**

The run ends with a permanent named code and a working Retry, as it does
for other deterministic refusals.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a Runner transport that resumes a saved provider session from
an empty state directory.
2. Request `thread/read`. On `master` it rejects with a plain `Error`.
3. Recover a saved Codex, OpenCode or ACPX session through the driver
when the transport fails that way. On `master` the result has no
`failureClass`.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `9574065a28`.

## What Changed

- `packages/paperclip-runner/src/contracts/harness-driver.ts`: add
`NativeRunnerResumeStateUnavailableError` (same message as before) and
`isRunnerResumeStateUnavailable`.
- `packages/paperclip-runner/src/live/runnerd-codex-transport.ts`: throw
the typed error at the three branches where the control-plane state is
absent. The branch with no PRP identity and the quarantine branch are
unchanged.
-
`packages/paperclip-runner/src/drivers/codex/codex-app-server-driver-impl.ts`:
classify the typed error as `provider_state_incompatible` when the saved
session has no turn or runtime request in flight. Extract the in-flight
test that the moved-root check already used, without changing it.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: describe the new classification
(additive).
- Tests: a transport test (local and external Runner state), driver
tests for Codex, OpenCode and ACPX Claude, in-flight cases that stay
unclassified, and a server case that shows the blocked task offers Retry
and that one click starts exactly one fresh-session run.

## Verification

- `cd packages/paperclip-runner && npx vitest run
src/backends/native-backend-factory.test.ts -t "no saved state"`: 5
pass. With the driver change reverted, the 3 "reports … as provider
state incompatible" cases fail (no `failureClass`).
- `cd packages/paperclip-runner && npx vitest run
src/live/runnerd-codex-transport-cold-restore.test.ts`: 5 pass. On
`master` the error is a plain `Error`.
- `cd packages/paperclip-runner && npx vitest run
src/backends/native-backend-factory.test.ts
src/drivers/codex/codex-app-server-driver.recovery.test.ts
src/live/runnerd-codex-transport-cold-restore.test.ts
src/native-session-runtime.test.ts`: 410 pass.
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/workspace-recovery-retry-copyback.test.ts -t "does not
continue automatically"`: 5 pass, including the new case. It checks
`canRetry: true`, an accepted Retry, exactly one queued successor, and
`forceFreshSession: true`.
- `cd packages/paperclip-runner && npx tsc --noEmit -p .`: clean.
- `pnpm verify`: exit 2 (broader verification required) because
`doc/execution-semantics.md` is a global CI input. The focused checks
above pass. Required CI supplies the broad coverage.

## Risks

- Low. The change only adds a class to a failure that already failed. A
checkpoint with `allow_replacement_after_resume_failure` already
replaced the session for this failure, and still does.
- For `same_session_only` and `allow_replacement_after_governed_wait`,
the run now ends with `native_provider_state_incompatible` instead of a
retryable `native_session_interrupted`. Same-run retries stop at once.
They could not succeed, because the state is absent.
- A session with a turn or runtime request in flight keeps the old
unclassified behavior. This PR does not change it.
- The server code path is unchanged. The Rust Runner is unchanged, so no
new runner image is needed.

DottaandClaude 9574065a28 fix(workspaces): hand on a proven-unchanged preparation epoch instead of abandoning it (#20736)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A native run on a remote sandbox first restores its workspace's
saved version, publishes that root as its dirty epoch, and only then
starts work
> - A restart that kills the run in that window leaves the epoch dirty.
The ownership settle (`settlePreparationOnlyRemoteWorkspaceEpoch`)
always abandons it: the root is forgotten and the retry restores the
saved version into a new directory
> - The saved provider session still names the old directory, which is
what #20712 and #20723 now have to handle
> - In the common case the killed preparation only restored the saved
version and changed nothing. A durable proof for exactly that already
exists (`proveRemoteWorkspaceUnchanged`, used when the next admission
finds an ended writer)
> - This pull request makes the settle use that proof first, and keeps
abandoning whenever the proof fails
> - The benefit is a stable workspace root across a restart during
preparation, with no change for anything unproven

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20712

**What happened?**
In restart-chaos waves, a server kill during a follow-up's preparation
(right after the workspace restore published) made the ownership settle
abandon the epoch. The retry restored into `<workspace>-<epoch>-<lease>`
instead of the published root, and the inherited session checkpoint
named a root that no longer existed.

**Expected behavior**
When durable records prove the killed preparation only restored the
saved version, the workspace is handed on at that saved version and
keeps its root. Anything unproven is abandoned exactly as before.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a remote native task to a saved version, then start a follow-up
or continuation run.
2. Kill the server after the follow-up's restore publishes (crash point
`remote_workspace.prepare.after_publish_before_provision`).
3. Let ownership reconciliation settle the dirty epoch, then let the
retry prepare.

## What Changed

- `recovery/remote-workspace-unsaved-files-settlement.ts`: before it
abandons a preparation-only epoch, the settle calls the existing
`releaseUnchangedRemoteWorkspaceWriterById` (lock the workspace, check
the writer, then `releaseUnchangedRemoteWorkspaceWriter`). That releases
the writer at its saved version (dirty false, writer cleared, location
and root kept, baseline marked released, run reference set to `saved`)
only when `proveRemoteWorkspaceUnchanged` holds. The proof requires all
of these durable records:
- the unchanged-baseline marker for this exact epoch, run and saved
version. It is written in the same transaction that publishes the
restored root, so a kill mid-restore leaves no marker;
- no recorded process, process group, process start or provider session;
- no execution-start run event, no native result and no native runner
checkpoint (the controller writes one before every runner command);
- no workspace operation other than the file-neutral restore, finalize
and recovery receipts (provisioning and saves record theirs before they
touch files);
  - every workspace repository already in the saved version.
- If the proof fails for any reason, the settle abandons the epoch
exactly as before. The existing settle preconditions (run terminal,
still `preparing`, no finalization, no work-started event, no save in
flight) are unchanged and run first.
- `packages/shared/src/crash-point-registry.ts` and
`remote-workspaces.ts`: add the crash point
`remote_workspace.prepare.after_publish_before_provision`, so the chaos
harness can kill exactly at this boundary. It counts only a preparation
that published an unchanged baseline (a restore of a saved version), and
it is a no-op unless a test arms it.
`tests/runner-e2e/source-sdk-public-inputs.json` is refreshed because
the registry file is a pinned SDK input.
- Test `ownership-reconciliation-report.test.ts`: a proven-clean epoch
is handed on with its root kept, with no abandonment receipt, and the
writer hold is free for the retry. These cases are still abandoned
exactly as before: no baseline (an epoch saved by the previous release),
a baseline for another epoch, an already-released baseline, a
provisioning operation. A run with a recorded process is still neither
handed on nor abandoned by this settle.

Previous-release story: an epoch saved by a release that did not write
the baseline marker has no proof, so it is abandoned as before. No
persisted shape changes; the marker already exists on master.

## Verification

- Red: with the release branch disabled, the new test fails on the clean
case (the epoch is abandoned). Green with the change.
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/ownership-reconciliation-report.test.ts
src/services/remote-workspace-snapshot-reuse.test.ts
src/__tests__/crash-point-call-sites.test.ts` passes. `packages/shared`
`crash-points.test.ts` passes. `tsc --noEmit -p server` passes.
- Live Daytona waves (claude, workload S1, the new crash point at the
continuation's preparation (`:2` before the point was gated to saved
restores; `:1` now), image built from master `e039be9202`, one task
each):

| | before (release disabled) | after |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Killed epoch 2 | abandoned (`workspace.remote_epoch_abandoned`) |
handed on (`workspace.snapshot_skipped_unchanged`, epoch 2) |
| Retry root | new root `…-4-ecf1c81e…` | same published root
`…-1-33e93b90…` |
| Retry `task.prepare` | 4598 ms | 4731 ms |
| Retry restore / environment acquire | 1141 / 1381 ms | 1106 / 1478 ms
|
| Task result | done, no Retry | done, no Retry |
| Stopped or orphan sandbox at rest | none | none |

Preparation time does not change in this setup. The Chaos Lab
environment uses ephemeral leases, so every run gets a fresh sandbox and
a full restore with or without this change, and the killed run's sandbox
is destroyed either way. The gain is the stable root, which keeps the
saved session's working directory valid.

## Risks

- Low. The release path is the same one admission already uses for an
ended writer, under the same proof. The settle now tries it first.
- A proof false positive would keep a root whose files changed. The
proof refuses on every record that precedes a write, and on any missing
or older-release evidence.

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - One server process prepares native runs, renews every controller
lease on timers, and serves every request
> - On a run path, the server hashed the 31 MB runner binary with
`readFileSync` (more than once per run), hashed provider packs and
harness backups synchronously, and ran `tar` with `execFileSync`
(timeouts up to 60 s, one with no timeout)
> - On a slow disk, each of these calls freezes the whole process. A 103
s stall on a hosted instance lapsed every lease. The last event before
that stall was immediately before a synchronous read and hash of the
runner binary (see #20694 and #20709)
> - This pull request moves those reads, hashes and archive commands off
the event loop. It computes the runner binary digest once per boot
> - The benefit is that a slow disk delays only the run that waits for
it. Turns also start faster, because the runner binary is no longer
re-read for every run

**What happened?**

On a hosted instance, the server process stopped for 103 s without a
restart. Every controller lease lapsed, and two tasks needed a manual
Retry. The last run event before the gap was immediately before
`matchesControllerRunnerArtifact`, which does
`createHash("sha256").update(readFileSync(controllerRunnerBinary))`.
Four workspace restores were running at the same time, and file I/O was
very slow (a 43 s archive hash, 20 s snapshot decrypts). The trigger is
not proven. But each synchronous call below blocks the event loop for as
long as the disk is slow.

**Expected behavior**

File hashing and archive commands on a run path must not block the event
loop. A slow disk must delay only the run that waits for it.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Make a remote runner binary slow to read (the test uses a FIFO whose
writer waits), or make `tar` slow (the test puts a `tar` wrapper that
sleeps first on `PATH`).
2. Call `resolveRemotePaperclipRunnerBinary`,
`stageRemoteRunnerDirectory`, or `syncRemoteRunnerDirectoryOut` while a
10 ms timer runs.
3. Before this change, the timer stops for the whole slow step (814 ms,
1,764 ms and 3,379 ms). After this change, it keeps firing.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/native-runtime/off-loop-file-work.ts` (new):
  - `sha256FileStreamed`
- `cachedFileSha256`: a streamed digest, reused while the file's device,
inode, size, mtime and ctime do not change
- `binaryTargetFromHeader`: reads 64 KiB; reads the rest of the file
only when the header cannot answer, so the result equals
`runnerBinaryTarget(readFileSync(path))`
  - `sha256DirectoryTreeStreamed`
- `execFileBuffered`: `execFile` with stdin input, `maxBuffer`,
`timeout` and `env`. It rejects on a non-zero exit, a timeout or a
`maxBuffer` overflow, like `execFileSync`.
- `native-session-executor.ts`:
- `matchesControllerRunnerArtifact` uses `cachedFileSha256`. Each boot
reads the binary once, not once or twice for every run.
  - The remote Claude daemon target is read from the binary header.
- The bundled remote runner binary is checked by
`verifiedBundledRemoteRunnerBinary`: the same checks and errors, with a
cached digest.
- Provider-pack upload verification uses the new
`verifyRemoteProviderPackManifest`. It runs the same checks, in the same
order, with the same errors. One generator drives both the sync and the
streamed readers.
- Harness backup build and verify on run paths use streamed digests
(`buildNativeHarnessBackupManifestStreamed`,
`verifyNativeHarnessBackupStreamed`). The digest format does not change.
- `stageRemoteRunnerDirectory` (3 calls),
`assertSafeRemoteCheckpointArchive` (3 calls) and the checkpoint extract
use `execFileBuffered`, with the same arguments, timeouts and buffer
limits. `stageRemoteRunnerFile` uses `readFile`.
- `packages/paperclip-runner/src/live/runner-binary.ts`: the default
daemon lookup (`resolvePackagedRunnerBinary`, used by the local and
remote resolvers) classifies the daemon with `runnerBinaryFileTarget`.
It reads the 64 KiB header, not the whole file.
- `packages/paperclip-runner/src/live/bundled-remote-provider-pack.ts`:
the release-manifest checks now live in one helper,
`bundledRemoteRunnerRelease`. The sync `bundledRemoteRunnerBinary` and
the server's streamed check both use it.
- `native-codex-runner.ts`:
  - `resolveRemotePaperclipRunnerBinary` reads only the header.
  - The local `runnerDigest` uses `cachedFileSha256`.
  - New `verifiedBundledRemoteRunnerBinary`.

**Ordering and atomicity.** I checked each converted call for code that
relied on the sync call being atomic with respect to other runs:
- **Checkpoint copy-back.** It extracts into a private `mkdtemp`
directory. The replace sequence (`existsSync`, `rename`, `rename`, `rm`)
stays synchronous, so no other run can see a half-installed checkpoint.
This function already awaited a remote command before the extract, so
this change adds no new interleaving with the target.
- **Harness backup verify then restore.** The verify was sync, but the
restore after it was already async. The window between them existed
before. One owner serializes the turns of a session, so no other turn
publishes a backup for that session while a turn verifies it.
- **Staging and provider-pack hashing.** These read build-owned,
immutable trees, or the private staging copies of a run.

## Verification

- Red/green: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/off-loop-file-work.test.ts`
- With `native-session-executor.ts` and `native-codex-runner.ts` from
`origin/master`: 3 failed. The longest timer gaps were 814 ms (runner
binary target read), 1,764 ms (directory staging tar) and 3,379 ms
(checkpoint list, size check and extract).
- With this change: 6 passed. The gaps stay under 400 ms. The same file
also checks the digest cache, the header fallback, and the
`execFileSync`-like errors (exit code, timeout kill,
`ERR_CHILD_PROCESS_STDIO_MAXBUFFER`).
- `native-session-executor.test.ts`:
- The streamed provider-pack verifier returns the same manifest as the
sync reader, and rejects a changed asset tree with the same error.
  - The streamed harness backup manifest equals the sync one.
- The streamed verify agrees with the sync verify, for a valid backup
and for a corrupt one.
- Run together: `native-session-executor`, `off-loop-file-work`,
`native-codex-runner`, `setup-readiness`, `antigravity-connection-probe`
(1,653 passed). `run-completion.test.ts` passed all 153 tests. Its
`afterAll` embedded-Postgres cleanup timed out locally, which is not
related to this change; CI runs it.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsc --noEmit` passes.

## Risks

- **Turn start.** This change adds no wait before `turn.start`; it
removes work. The first run of a boot streams the runner binary once.
Later runs reuse the digest after one `stat`.
- **Cache staleness.** The cache keys on device, inode, size, mtime and
ctime. An in-place rewrite changes mtime and ctime, and a replaced file
changes its inode, so a changed binary is hashed again.
- **stderr.** `execFileSync` wrote a child's stderr to the server's
stderr. `execFileBuffered` captures it. Tar warnings no longer appear in
server logs; errors and exit codes are unchanged.
- **Persisted state.** No persisted shape changes. Old saved state and
new code (and the reverse) read the same manifests and digests.
- **Not converted in this PR:** small metadata syscalls (`existsSync`,
`lstatSync`, `readdirSync`, small JSON reads and writes, renames) in the
native state machines. Some of these rely on running synchronously. Also
not converted: the sync harness backup verify inside the sync
restart-authority checks, and the sync stamp verify in
`native-harness-backup-storage.ts`. Both are listed for a follow-up.

DottaandClaude 94c7c83ce8 fix(runner): refuse a moved-root same-session checkpoint by name (#20723)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs on a remote sandbox resume a task's provider session
from a saved checkpoint
> - #20712 made a checkpoint that names an abandoned remote workspace
root decline recovery, so a replacement session opens in the new root
> - A checkpoint that requires the same session (an unfinished goal,
`same_session_only`) cannot be replaced. It then failed with the generic
`native_session_recovery_failed`, which recovery treats as a retryable
interruption
> - A retry cannot move a saved session to another root, so the failure
repeats. The upgrade-safe rule requires a permanent, named code for this
case
> - Also, the working-directory errors said "Codex" on Claude and other
ACPX runs, because one app-server driver serves all of them
> - This pull request reports the moved root as provider state that is
incompatible, and makes the errors name the agent generically
> - The benefit is a named, permanent refusal with a working board
Retry, and error text that is correct for every agent

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20712

**What happened?**
After #20712, a `same_session_only` checkpoint with a moved remote root
ended with `native_session_recovery_failed: persisted session working
directory is not the assigned remote workspace`. That is not a named
permanent code, so recovery could retry a run that cannot succeed. On
ACPX Claude runs, path errors read "Remote Codex working directory ...".

**Expected behavior**
The run ends with the permanent code
`native_provider_state_incompatible`. Automatic retries stop. A board
Retry continues the task in a fresh provider session in the same
workspace. Errors do not name Codex on other agents.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Save a native checkpoint with `providerRecoveryPolicy:
same_session_only` under one remote workspace root.
2. Assign the run a different sibling root (the epoch was abandoned).
3. Resume the run.

## What Changed

- `codex-app-server-driver-impl.ts`: the moved-root decline from #20712
now carries `failureClass: provider_state_incompatible`. The runtime
already maps that class:
- checkpoint allows replacement
(`allow_replacement_after_resume_failure`): a replacement session opens
in the assigned root, as before;
- checkpoint requires the same session:
`NativeProviderStateIncompatibleError`, code
`native_provider_state_incompatible`.
- The server already treats `native_provider_state_incompatible` as a
permanent failure (no automatic retry, board action text "Retry the task
to continue in a fresh provider session with the same workspace").
`rebindNativeSessionCheckpoint` returns no checkpoint after that code,
so a board Retry starts a fresh session in the same workspace. No server
change is needed.
- A moved-root checkpoint with an active turn or a pending runtime
request now reports `provider_side_effect_pending`. The runtime never
replaces it under any policy, and the run ends with the permanent code
`native_provider_side_effect_pending` for an operator to reconcile.
Before, it threw the working-directory refusal, which recovery recorded
as the retryable `native_session_interrupted`.
- `harness-driver.ts`: the `PROVIDER_STATE_INCOMPATIBLE` doc now names
the moved-workspace case.
- `codex-boundaries.ts`: working-directory errors say "Agent working
directory", "Remote agent working directory" and "Provider thread
response" instead of "Codex". Tests updated to the new text.
- Tests:
- `native-session-runtime.test.ts`: the real app-server backend with
`remote_runner` authority and a moved root, for each recovery policy.
Same-session policies end with `native_provider_state_incompatible`, the
replacement policy opens a replacement in the assigned root, an
in-flight turn ends with `native_provider_side_effect_pending` under
every policy, and no transport starts.
- `native-backend-factory.test.ts`: the decline carries the failure
class, and an ACPX Claude refusal reads "Remote agent working directory
does not match the assigned workspace".

Previous-release story: no persisted shape changes. Saved checkpoints
are classified at recovery time. A saved same-session checkpoint under
an old root now ends with the named permanent code instead of a generic
one.

## Verification

- Red: without the failure classes, the same-session and in-flight
runtime cases fail (generic `native_session_recovery_failed`). Before
the rename, the ACPX Claude message test fails.
- Green: `cd packages/paperclip-runner && npx vitest run src/backends
src/drivers/codex src/live/runner-prepared-launch-workspace.test.ts
src/native-session-runtime.test.ts` passes (784 tests).
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p packages/paperclip-runner` passes.
- Existing server coverage for the code: `native-session-resume.test.ts`
(no rebind after `native_provider_state_incompatible`) and
`native-session-executor.test.ts` (source-code mapping).

## Risks

- Low. Error message text changes. A search found no code that matches
on the old text outside the updated tests.
- Same-session checkpoints with a moved root now stop for a board Retry
instead of a generic interruption. That is the intended behavior: a
retry cannot succeed.

DottaandClaude 08ff0828d6 fix(native): offer Retry at once when the Runner refuses a turn start on a closed session (#20729)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A native ACPX run (for example Claude) starts each turn with
`turn.start`. When a start is cut off, the Runner reads the sidecar's
dispatch journal (#20675).
> - If the prompt never left, the Runner keeps the session reopenable,
and the same-run resume sends the prompt once. If the prompt may have
left, the Runner closes the session, because a resend could duplicate
it.
> - A closed session cannot reopen for the same run. Every same-run
resume got `ACPX session is not open`. The server treated that as a
generic interruption and spent three attempts (about 95 s) before the
board offered Retry.
> - This pull request gives that refusal a closed class in the Runner
and a permanent, named failure code in the server.
> - The benefit is that the board offers a working Retry on the first
refusal, while every recoverable case keeps recovering by itself.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
Restart-chaos wave `w-20261111T011704-s9107`, task t05 (local, claude,
workload C1, fault TM2). A freeze cut off a turn start, and the Runner
saved the session `closed`. Three same-run resumes each failed with `PRP
command turn.start failed: … "message":"ACPX session is not open"`.
Recovery stopped with `native_session_retry_exhausted` at 01:25:14, and
the board then offered Retry. The Retry run succeeded.

**Expected behavior**
When the Runner proves the session is closed for this run, the run stops
at the first refusal with a named failure, and the board offers a Retry
that works. A start that the Runner proved never reached the provider
still recovers by itself.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-closed-session-retry.integration.test.ts`
2. On master, "offers Retry on the first refusal, and Retry starts a new
run" fails: the coordinator is `retryable_failure` /
`native_session_interrupted` (a same-run retry in 30 s).

Refs #20675, #20720

## What Changed

- Runner (`durable/mod.rs`, `acpx_provider_backend.rs`): new closed
class `provider_session_closed`. The Runner sets it on these refusals:
- a turn start that saves the session `closed` (`ACPX turn start failed
closed: …`), but not the rejected-checkpoint case, which stays
`prepared` and reopens;
- `ACPX session is not open` when the saved lifecycle is `closed` for
this run;
- the saved turn-end-restart refusal for this run (asserted in
`acpx_turn_end_restart`).
A session that waits for provider-exit proof can reopen after a restart.
Its refusal gets no class.
- Server (`native-session-executor.ts`): a `turn.start` failure with
that class maps to the new permanent code
`native_provider_session_closed`. The server reads the class from the
authenticated command result, and from the command-failure text if the
error was rewrapped. `nativeSessionFailureDisposition` treats the code
as permanent, so the first refusal ends the run as `terminal_failure`
with a board owner and a plain next action.
- Docs: `packages/paperclip-runner/docs/durable-recovery.md` states the
class and the older-Runner behavior.
- Tests:
- `native-closed-session-retry.integration.test.ts` (new, embedded
Postgres) drives `executePaperclipNativeSession` with the Runner
refusal. On the first refusal, the board shows `canRetry: true`.
`requestTaskRetry` is accepted, and `resumeTaskRetry` starts exactly one
new run with a fresh provider session. A start proved undispatched stays
`retryable_failure`.
- Unit tests in `native-session-executor.test.ts`: both closed refusals,
a rewrapped error, an undispatched start, an unclassified older-Runner
refusal, and a class on another command.
- Rust `acpx_cut_turn_start`: a start cut off before dispatch has no
class. A start cut off after dispatch, and the later refusal, carry
`provider_session_closed`.

## Verification

- Red on master, green here: step 1 above.
- `npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts`: 1358/1358
pass.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --test acpx_park_preparation` (26
pass), `--lib acpx` (94 pass), `--test acpx_provider_turns --test
acpx_provider_session --test acpx_warm_attachment` (all pass), `cargo
fmt --check` clean.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json`: clean.
- Not run: a chaos wave.

## Risks

- This changes the Rust Runner. Daytona needs a new runner image before
remote runs get the class. Until then, an older Runner sends the refusal
without the class, and the server keeps today's bounded same-run
retries. That path is unchanged and ends with a working Retry. The
server does not trust the text alone, because an older Runner sends the
same text for a session that can still reopen.
- The class is set only where the Runner's saved state proves that no
later start of this run can reopen the session. A false class would cost
one automatic resume and show Retry earlier. It never replays provider
work.
- No persisted shape changes. The class is an optional field of a failed
command result. Old saved state resumes unchanged. Nothing new runs
before `turn.start`.

DottaandClaude fcf4e39b41 fix(runner): do not count stopped time against a turn start or an ACPX sidecar request (#20720)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A native run starts each provider turn with `turn.start`. The
control plane waits for the Runner, and an ACPX Runner waits for its
sidecar, which starts the provider and sends the prompt.
> - Both waits use a 30 s bound. When the host or container stops the
whole tree (SIGSTOP, a host sleep), the clocks keep moving while no
process can act.
> - On thaw both bounds have passed. The control plane reports `PRP
command turn.start timed out`, and the Runner fails the sidecar request
and closes the ACPX session.
> - #20704 added a stopped-time clock for startup and recovery. This
pull request puts `turn.start` and its follow-up waits on the same
clock, and adds the same rule to the Runner's sidecar response wait.
> - The benefit is that a freeze during a turn start no longer fails the
turn or closes the session.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
Restart-chaos wave `w-20261111T011704-s9107`, task t05 (local, claude,
workload C1, fault TM2). A follow-up run sent `turn.start` at 01:22:21.
The harness then stopped the server, Runner, sidecar and Claude twice:
28 s, then 33 s after a 1 s thaw. At 01:23:25 the control plane reported
`provider_transport_failed: PRP command turn.start timed out`. Three
same-run resumes then failed with `ACPX session is not open`, recovery
stopped with `native_session_retry_exhausted`, and the task needed a
manual Retry. The Retry run succeeded.

**Expected behavior**
Time that the processes spend stopped does not count against the
turn-start bound or the sidecar request bound. A real timeout still
fires while the processes run.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. `cd packages/paperclip-runner && npx vitest run
src/live/runnerd-codex-transport-stall.test.ts`. On master it fails with
`provider_transport_failed: PRP command turn.start timed out`.
2. `cargo test --manifest-path
packages/paperclip-runner/runner/Cargo.toml -p paperclip-runner-core
--test acpx_sidecar_stopped_time`. On master it fails with `ACPX sidecar
request timed out at initialize`. It stops the process early in the wait
and again in its last half second.

Note on the repeated `ACPX session is not open`: the wave ran
`eafd5853d9`, which does not contain #20675. On master, #20675 settles a
cut-off start from the sidecar's dispatch journal. If the prompt never
left, the Runner reopens the session and sends it once. If the journal
shows the prompt left, or cannot prove it, the session stays closed and
the run ends with a working Retry, as the class rule requires. This pull
request stops the freeze from cutting off the start in the first place.

Refs #20704, #20675

## What Changed

- `packages/paperclip-runner/src/live/runnerd-codex-transport.ts`:
`#startTurn` runs under `#withAdmissionClock`. The turn-start deadline,
the held-tool-call wait, the start-event wait, the adoption check time
and the `session.snapshot` wait all read `#waitNow()`, so they share one
stopped-time credit.
-
`packages/paperclip-runner/runner/crates/runner-core/src/acpx_sidecar_transport.rs`:
`receive_response` blocks in 1 s slices. `credit_stopped_time` treats a
slice overshoot beyond 2 s as a stop. It moves the deadline by the
overshoot, and to at least 5 s after the thaw, so a stop in the last
slice still leaves the sidecar time to answer. Total credit per request
is capped at 15 min.
- The control-plane clock (`RunnerStallLedger`) now uses the same rule:
a stop is credited in full plus a 5 s grace, capped at 15 min per
admission.
-
`packages/paperclip-runner/src/live/runnerd-codex-transport-stall.test.ts`
(new): drives the real transport and Runner. It SIGSTOPs the Runner
tree, jumps `Date.now` by 40 s mid-wait, then resumes the Runner. It
fails if the turn start leaves the clock, or if the command wait stops
reading it (checked by removing `clock: this.#admissionClock`). This is
the transport-level test requested in the #20704 review.
-
`packages/paperclip-runner/runner/crates/runner-core/tests/acpx_sidecar_stopped_time.rs`
(new, its own test binary): a sidecar stops the test process for 6 s
against a 3 s bound and answers after the thaw.
- Unit test for `credit_stopped_time`.

## Verification

- Red on master, green here: both commands in "Steps to reproduce".
- `npx vitest run src/live/runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts
src/live/runnerd-codex-transport-stall.test.ts
src/live/runnerd-acpx-source-reconciliation.test.ts
src/live/runnerd-codex-transport-adoption.test.ts`: 342/342 pass.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --lib acpx_sidecar_transport` (12
pass), `--test acpx_sidecar_transport --test acpx_park_preparation
--test acpx_provider_turns` (all pass), `cargo fmt --check` clean.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json` and `-p tsconfig.test.json`:
clean.
- Not run: a new chaos wave.

## Risks

- A real stall longer than 2 s in the Runner (or 5 s in the control
plane) during a turn start or a sidecar request now extends that wait by
the stall plus 5 s. The waited-on process could not be observed during
the stall either. The 15 min cap bounds a process that keeps stalling.
- The Rust wait now wakes once per second while it waits for a sidecar
reply. This is an active request with no I/O per wake.
- The 1 s control-plane ticker from #20704 now also runs during a turn
start, and stops when the start returns.
- No persisted state, launch identity or saved-session shape changes.
Old saved runs resume through the same code, and an older Runner keeps
its old wait. Nothing new runs before `turn.start`, and no wait is added
on the normal path.

DottaandClaude 1fa7e92fa8 fix(native): restart in place a Runner that only settled an earlier attempt's suspend (#20724)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A native run talks to a Runner process. When the control plane loses
that Runner, the run resumes itself with a limited number of same-run
attempts.
> - A server freeze while the controller suspends a finished turn can
stop the Runner inside `runner.suspend`. The controller journal then
keeps that suspend as pending.
> - The next attempt starts a new Runner. It settles the old suspend
from the welcome, records `suspended`, and exits with code 0 before it
accepts any command of the new attempt. The server reported "runnerd
exited unexpectedly with code 0", so one freeze spent one same-run
attempt. If a second fault then occurs, no attempt is left in reserve.
> - #20714 made both sides agree on that suspend's acknowledgement. This
pull request handles the clean exit that follows it.
> - During startup, the server restarts that Runner in place once,
through the existing `#recoverRunnerProcess` path, and only when the
durable Runner journal proves the exit.
> - The benefit is that one freeze during a suspend costs zero same-run
attempts.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20714.

**What happened?**

A restart-chaos task (local Runner, Claude, a freeze of the server
during a live turn) needed a manual Retry. #20714 fixed the identity
mismatch. The second same-run attempt still ended with
`runner_local_connect_failed: runnerd exited unexpectedly with code 0`,
because that Runner only settled the suspend left by the first attempt
and then exited as suspended.

**Expected behavior**

The attempt continues. The server restarts the Runner once. The new
Runner starts from a clean `suspended` state and serves the attempt's
commands. No provider work is repeated.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a native run. Let the controller send `runner.suspend` when it
closes the session.
2. Stop the Runner after it journaled the suspend and before the
controller records the result (a server freeze does this).
3. Resume the same run. The new Runner settles the old suspend and exits
with code 0, and startup fails.

The new live test reproduces this with the real runnerd and the fake
Codex provider.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at e719d42557 (after #20714).

## What Changed

- `runnerd-codex-transport.ts`: when the transport opens its controller,
it records the number of commands already in the journal. These commands
come from earlier attempts.
- When a Runner exits with code 0 during startup, the transport reads
the local Runner state once. It restarts the Runner in place, once per
attempt, with a bounded 30 s grace through the existing
`#recoverRunnerProcess`, only when all of these are true:
- the Runner's last command is a `runner.suspend` from an earlier
attempt, with the same command id, type and controller sequence in both
journals;
  - the controller has settled that suspend;
- the Runner is `suspended`, with no terminal fence, no provider cleanup
fence and no warm transition;
- no command of this attempt has a result, so no turn started and no
provider work ran.
- While that one restart runs, the startup waits for the replacement.
The startup does not fail on the old process.
- An exit that does not have that proof keeps its earlier failure. So do
remote, external-state and adopted Runners.
- The proof is a pure function, `carriedSuspendSettlementProven`,
exported through `runnerdRecoveryInternals`.
- `docs/durable-recovery.md`: it describes the restart.

## Verification

- Red, then green. New live test
`runnerd-codex-transport-carried-suspend.test.ts` (real runnerd binary,
fake Codex):
- `journaled`: the journals are rewritten to the freeze moment. Before
the change: `runner_local_connect_failed: runnerd exited unexpectedly
with code 0`. After the change: `thread/read` succeeds in the same
attempt, the old suspend is `failed / execution_indeterminate`, and the
provider has no `turn/start`.
- `fenced`: a released build left a terminal fence. The next Runner
keeps a provider cleanup fence, so it is not restarted. The test checks
that the earlier failure stays.
- Unit negatives for the proof: a suspend that this attempt queued, an
unsettled suspend, a last command that is not a suspend, a Runner that
went on to a later command, a command of this attempt with a result, a
Runner that is not suspended or has a fence, a receipt mismatch, and
another run identity.
- The live test passes with the Runner binary from before #20714 and
with the current `master` Runner.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p packages/paperclip-runner`: clean.
- `runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts`, `-cut-attach`, `-settlement`,
`-suspension`, `-cold-restore`: 335 of 336 passed in one parallel run.
The one failure was a 20 s settlement case under load, and it passed
when run alone (19/19).

## Risks

- A clean exit that is not this case keeps its earlier failure. The
proof needs exact durable evidence. The restart happens at most once per
attempt and is bounded to 30 s.
- No command runs again. The old suspend is never executed again. The
replacement Runner starts from `suspended` and receives this attempt's
commands for the first time.
- Old Runners and old saved state: the proof only reads the Runner state
fields that released Runners already write. A state with a fence or a
provider cleanup fence is not restarted.
- The normal path has no added waits or file reads. The Runner file is
read only after a code-0 exit during startup.
- This changes no Runner (Rust) code. No new Runner image is needed.

DottaandClaude e039be9202 fix(runner): replace a follow-up session whose remote workspace root moved (#20712)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs keep an execution lease. Restart recovery takes over a
run only when it can prove that the recorded controller stopped.
> - A stall (SIGSTOP) longer than the lease, with no restart, makes the
executor lose its own lease. The executor then detaches for "the next
controller" and exits.
> - The next controller is this same process. Recovery asks the PID
probe if the recorded controller is alive. The recorded controller is
this process, so the answer is always "alive".
> - The task then waits forever: `in_progress`, no Retry, an active run,
and an active environment lease.
> - This pull request lets recovery recognise its own process. When this
process no longer drives the run and its own lease lapsed, the prior
owner is gone. The existing evidence checks then decide, as for any
stopped controller.
> - The benefit is that a same-boot stall never needs a manual Retry.
When provider work may have started, the run fails with a working Retry
instead of a wait with no end.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20694 (the same class of fix for legacy `preparing` runs), #20529,
#20691.

**What happened?**
Chaos wave `w-20261111T034105-s9330`, task t02 (Daytona, OpenCode, fault
TM1). The server process was frozen with SIGSTOP for about 84 s while
run `89a3922b` prepared. After SIGCONT, `native.process_start_requested`
was recorded and `native.session.execute` failed after 118 ms: the lease
renewal found the lease lapsed, and the executor detached and exited.
From then on, recovery recorded `native.recovery.transition` "waiting
for safe ownership evidence" with reason `controller_still_alive` every
30 s for more than 20 minutes. The run stayed `running`, the issue
stayed `in_progress`, no Retry was shown, and the environment lease
stayed `active`.

**Expected behavior**
When this process no longer drives a run that it recorded as its own,
recovery takes the run back. No turn reached the runner here, so the
bootstrap restarts on the same run. When a turn or runner work may have
started, the run fails and shows a working Retry.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a native remote (Daytona) run.
2. Send SIGSTOP to the server during preparation, and hold it longer
than the execution lease.
3. Send SIGCONT. The executor loses its lease, detaches and exits.
4. See that every recovery scan waits with `controller_still_alive`, and
the run never settles.

The new tests in `native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts`
("same-boot controller whose own lease lapsed") reproduce this at the
recovery layer.

## What Changed

- `claimNativeRestartRecoveries`: when the recorded controller is this
exact process (same boot ID and PID):
- If this process still drives the run (heartbeat execution or native
executor registered), recovery leaves the run to it
(`current_controller_preparing`).
- If neither drives it and the self lease lapsed, the takeover is
allowed (`current_controller_released`). The existing evidence checks
then choose the outcome: bootstrap again on the same run when a durable
record proves no command reached the runner, or fail with a Retry
(`blocked`) when runner or provider work may have started.
- An unexpired self lease still waits. A claim that has not reached its
executor holds it, and it lapses by itself.
- A run that this process handed to the next server (graceful drain
`restart_suspended` record, or the in-process hot-restart handoff
marker) stays with the next server.
- `heartbeat/shutdown-handoff.ts`: add `isRunHandedOffForShutdown`.
Heartbeat recovery passes it to the claim.
- `suspendedByCleanDrain` now uses the shared
`handedToNextControllerSinceClaim` helper. Behavior is the same.
- Tests: five cases for the same-boot lapsed lease: bootstrap again with
no runner command; fail with a working Retry when a runner identity was
recorded; leave the run to a live in-process executor; leave a
handed-off run to the next server; still wait for a different live
controller.

## Verification

- Red before the fix: the three same-boot cases returned
`awaiting_evidence` / `controller_still_alive`.
- Green after the fix:
- `pnpm --dir server exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-restart-recovery.test.ts
src/__tests__/heartbeat-native-restart-suspension.test.ts`
- `pnpm verify` (see the PR comments for the selected scope).
- `tsc --noEmit -p server` is clean.

## Risks

- A same-process recovery scan can now claim a run that this process
recorded as its own. The guard needs all of these: the self lease
lapsed, no in-process execution of the run, and no handoff to the next
server. A claim that is still on its way to its executor holds a live
lease, so it is not taken twice.
- Upgrade safety: the decision uses only the coordinator row and
in-process state. Old saved rows are judged by the same rules. A new
process never matches an old boot ID, so deploys keep the existing proof
path.
- No new waits or file operations run before `turn.start`.
- There is still no ceiling on `awaiting_evidence` for a genuinely
different live controller (case c). This PR does not change that policy.

> - A native run talks to a Runner process (runnerd). The controller in

but not its result. The next Runner replays the command as
`indeterminate`. It sends it on the wire as `failed` with

The Runner compared that with its journal status `indeterminate` and
exited with "terminal command result acknowledgement changed its durable
identity". The controller also lifted its terminal fence for a failed
suspend and sent the next command to a Runner that was about to exit.
> - This pull request makes both sides agree on the status of that one
receipt, and keeps the fence.
> - The benefit is that a freeze or restart during a suspend no longer
burns the same-run retries and leaves the task at a manual Retry.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A restart-chaos task (local Runner, Claude, a 28-second freeze of the
server during a live turn) needed a manual Retry. Retry worked.

1. The turn completed. The server then sent `runner.suspend`. The server
froze before the Runner reported the result.
2. The close found the Runner not durably suspended (`commandStatus:
pending`, `runnerLifecycle: ready`). The run failed with
`native_runner_checkpoint_owner_lost`, and same-run recovery stopped the
old runnerd. The suspend was journaled but not finished.
3. Attempt 2 started a new runnerd on the same state. The welcome
delivered the stale suspend. The Runner replayed it as `indeterminate`
and sent `failed`. The controller acknowledged `failed`. The Runner
exited with code 1: "terminal command result acknowledgement changed its
durable identity". The controller had recorded the suspend as `failed`.
4. Attempt 3 found the fence for a suspend that the controller no longer
listed as pending. The Runner reconciled it and exited with code 0. The
server reported "runnerd exited unexpectedly with code 0", and
`native_session_retry_exhausted` stopped automatic recovery.

**Expected behavior**

The controller acknowledges exactly the receipt that the Runner sent.
The Runner accepts that acknowledgement, records `suspended`, and the
next attempt starts from a clean suspended Runner.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a native run with a local Runner. Let the turn complete so that
the server sends `runner.suspend`.
2. Freeze the server (SIGSTOP) for about 30 seconds before the suspend
result arrives, so that recovery stops the Runner inside the suspend.
3. Let same-run recovery start a new Runner. It exits with "terminal
command result acknowledgement changed its durable identity". The unit
tests in this PR reproduce the same sequence without a live run.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at 200c6e40e2. The failing wave ran on 9296c74e8d plus #20656.

**Root cause**

`command_result_envelope` changes the journal status `indeterminate` to
`failed` on the wire. `wait_for_terminal_result_ack` compared the
acknowledgement with the journal status, not with the status that it
sent. The controller also treated a `failed` suspend as a refused
suspend (the Runner keeps serving), but the Runner treats an
indeterminate suspend as terminal.

## What Changed

- Runner (`runner.rs`): a new `wire_command_status` gives the status
that goes on the wire. `wait_for_terminal_result_ack` accepts the
acknowledgement when its status is the wire status (`failed`) or the
journal status (`indeterminate`). Command id, type, and controller
sequence must still match exactly.
- Controller (`durable-prp-control-plane.ts`): for a result with
`execution_indeterminate`, the `command_result_ack` names
`indeterminate`. Runners that shipped before this change accept only
that status. The controller keeps the terminal-lifecycle fence for an
indeterminate suspend, so it does not send the next command to a Runner
that is exiting. The command stays `failed` in the controller journal,
as before.
- Runner Rust test
`indeterminate_suspend_replay_accepts_the_acknowledged_wire_status`: it
seeds a journaled suspend, starts the Runner against a fake controller
that acknowledges `failed` and then `indeterminate`, and checks that the
Runner finishes as `suspended` with no fence. Before the fix it failed
with the production message.
- Controller test: it checks the `indeterminate` acknowledgement and
that the next queued command is not delivered on that connection.
- `docs/durable-recovery.md`: it describes this case.

## Verification

- Red, then green: `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --lib
indeterminate_suspend_replay` failed with `DurableRunnerError("terminal
command result acknowledgement changed its durable identity")` before
the Runner change and passes after it.
- Red, then green: `npx vitest run
src/control-plane/durable-prp-control-plane.test.ts -t "indeterminate
suspension"` failed (`status: "failed"`, expected `"indeterminate"`)
before the controller change and passes after it.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --lib durable`: 152 passed.
- `npx vitest run src/control-plane/durable-prp-control-plane.test.ts`:
215 passed.
- `npx vitest run src/live/runnerd-codex-transport-settlement.test.ts
src/live/runnerd-codex-transport-suspension.test.ts`: 30 passed. These
use the real runnerd binary built from `master`, so they also cover the
new controller with an old Runner.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p packages/paperclip-runner`: clean.
- `pnpm verify` returned exit 2 (broad input). Required CI supplies the
broad coverage.
- Not run: a chaos wave. The unit tests reproduce the exact sequence at
the Runner and controller boundary.

## Risks

- Version mix. Old Runner with new server: the acknowledgement says
`indeterminate`, which is the old Runner's journal status, so it is
accepted. New Runner with old server: the acknowledgement says `failed`,
which is the new Runner's wire status, so it is accepted. New with new:
accepted.
- No command runs again. The indeterminate suspend is never executed
again; only its acknowledgement changes. The Runner still refuses a
different command id, type, or controller sequence.
- The Runner change takes effect only after a new Runner image. The
controller change alone removes the failure for Runners that already
shipped.
- Remaining gap: the attempt that delivers the stale suspend still ends
when that Runner exits as suspended. The next same-run attempt then
starts from a clean suspended Runner. A later change can restart the
Runner inside the same attempt.

DottaandClaude 6d1eae73c0 fix(runner): do not count time the control plane was stopped against a Runner command wait (#20704)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The native runtime resumes a run after a control-plane restart. It
launches a Runner and waits for recovery barriers (`run.attach`, a
`runner.drain` probe, the provider identity).
> - These waits poll with a wall-clock deadline. When the control plane
and its Runner are stopped together (SIGSTOP, host sleep), the wall
clock passes the deadline before either process can act.
> - On thaw, the wait reports a timeout although nothing was slow.
Recovery then spends an attempt and a retry delay.
> - This pull request gives each startup or recovery admission a clock
that does not count stopped time.
> - The benefit is that a freeze or host sleep during an admission no
longer turns into a false `PRP command ... timed out` failure.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A restart-chaos wave (local, codex, fault TM2) stopped the server and
its Runner tree for 44 s, 1 s after a resumed Runner started. The resume
barrier `runner.drain` had a 30 s deadline. On thaw, the server reported
`runner_local_connect_failed: PRP command runner.drain timed out` 45 s
after the wait began (`provider.session.load` span 45130 ms). Recovery
spent attempt 1 and waited 30 s more before attempt 2.

**Expected behavior**
Time that the waiting process spends stopped does not count as waiting
time. A real timeout still fires when the Runner does not answer while
both processes run.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a Runner command wait with a 30 s deadline.
2. After 1 s, stop the process for 44 s (the test moves the system clock
without running timers).
3. Let the Runner complete the command 2 s after thaw.
4. Before this change, the wait rejects with `runner.drain timed out`.
After this change, it resolves.

Note: in that chaos task, this false timeout was not the reason that the
task needed a manual Retry. An earlier SIGKILL of the whole server tree
stopped the Codex turn while a foreground shell command (`./bench.sh`)
was running. On restore, Codex had no active turn
(`provider_turn_lost_on_restore`). Recovery correctly blocked automatic
replay (`uncertain_provider_action`), because no durable record proves
that the interrupted command had no side effect. The manual Retry then
completed the task. This PR does not change that policy.

Refs #20675

## What Changed

- `packages/paperclip-runner/src/live/runnerd-codex-transport.ts`: add
`RunnerStallLedger`, the clock of one startup or recovery admission.
`now()` is wall time minus the stopped time observed since the admission
began. Its poll loops and a 1 s ticker share one last-observation time,
so each stop is credited once, wherever the process was when it stopped
(a poll loop, a checkpoint flush, a spawn). Only the part of a gap
beyond 5 s is credited.
- `#start` and `#resume` run under one ledger (`#withAdmissionClock`). A
nested startup keeps the outer ledger. The ticker stops when the
admission ends.
- During an admission, `waitForRunnerCommand`, the provider-identity
wait, the cold admission deadline, the recovery admission deadline, and
the default 30 s command deadline all use this clock.
- Waits after admission, including `turn.start` and its event and
snapshot waits, keep wall-clock deadlines. Their behavior does not
change.
- Tests in `runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts`: the chaos sequence (red
before, green after), the unchanged wall-clock timeout outside an
admission, a barrier that still times out after a freeze, a 70 s freeze
between two barriers on one cold deadline, and a slow-but-running
process that still reaches its deadline.

## Verification

- Red: `cd packages/paperclip-runner && npx vitest run
src/live/runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts -t "stopped"` failed before the
fix with `runner_local_connect_failed: PRP command runner.drain timed
out`.
- Green: the same command passes after the fix.
- `npx vitest run src/live/runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts`: 301/301
pass, including the existing "shares Pi's absolute cold deadline across
recovery barriers and rejects a late ACK" test.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p packages/paperclip-runner/tsconfig.json`: clean.
- `pnpm verify` exits 2 (changes outside resolved test graphs). Required
CI supplies the broad coverage.
- Not run: a new chaos wave. The unit tests reproduce the exact wait and
clock sequence from the artifacts.

## Risks

- A real event-loop hang longer than 5 s during an admission now extends
that admission by the hang minus 5 s. The Runner answer could not be
observed during the hang either. Each credited gap still costs 5 s of
budget, so a process that is slow on every observation still reaches its
deadline.
- The ticker runs only while a startup or recovery admission runs (an
active operation), every 1 s, does no I/O, and is cleared in `finally`.
It does not keep an idle process awake.
- A `turn.start` that is cut by a freeze still reports a wall-clock
timeout, as before. That case needs its own change, because its event
and snapshot waits share one deadline.
- No persisted state, launch identity, or saved-session shape changes.
Old saved runs resume through the same code. A deploy mid-run only
changes how long an in-process admission wait tolerates a stop. No new
wait or file operation runs before `turn.start`.

DottaandClaude 3fdcc2a28c fix(runner): resend an ACPX turn whose start was cut off before the prompt left (#20675)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A native ACPX run (for example Claude) sends `turn.start` to its
Runner. The Runner asks the ACPX sidecar to start the turn, and the
sidecar sends the prompt to the provider
> - A start can fail without a definite answer. A host freeze can
outlast the sidecar request deadline, or the sidecar or Runner can die
during the start
> - The Runner then saved the session `closed`. Every same-run resume
failed with `ACPX session is not open`, and the task needed Retry
> - The Runner cannot tell from its own state whether the provider has
the prompt. Resending could duplicate it. A continuation could lose it
> - This pull request adds a durable record that answers that question:
a sidecar prompt-dispatch journal, written before the prompt reaches the
provider
> - The benefit is that a start cut off before the prompt left resends
the prompt exactly once, with no Retry. Every case the record cannot
prove keeps today's behavior

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
Local restart-chaos wave `w-20261110T185315-s9107`, task t05 (claude,
workload C1, fault TM2). A follow-up run reopened the parked Claude
session and sent `turn.start`. The sidecar first starts Claude and loads
the conversation; the prompt goes out only after that. After 24 s
without a reply, the harness froze the server, Runner, sidecar and
Claude (SIGSTOP) for 33 s. On thaw the Runner's 30 s sidecar deadline
had passed. It reaped the sidecar and saved the session `closed`. Three
same-run resumes failed with `PRP command turn.start failed: … ACPX
session is not open`, recovery stopped with
`native_session_retry_exhausted`, and a person had to click Retry.

**Expected behavior**
When a durable record proves the prompt never reached the provider, the
run resends it once by itself. When the record cannot prove it, the run
behaves as today.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. On master, run `cargo test --manifest-path
packages/paperclip-runner/runner/Cargo.toml -p paperclip-runner-core
--test acpx_park_preparation cut_turn_start`.
2.
`a_start_cut_off_before_the_prompt_left_reopens_and_sends_the_prompt_once`
fails: the session is `closed` and the next start fails with `ACPX
session is not open`.

Refs #20507, #20645, #20674

## What Changed

- New file contract in
`protocol/provider-schemas/acpx-sidecar.schema.json`:
`turnDispatchJournalFile` (`paperclip-turn-dispatch.jsonl`) and
`turnDispatchJournalRecord` (`received` / `dispatched`). The generator
emits the file name and schema into TypeScript and Rust, so the pack
contract digest covers them.
- Sidecar (`turn-dispatch-journal.ts`, `codex-runtime-adapter.ts`,
`runtime-host.ts`, `acpx-runtime-sidecar.ts`): when the runtime port
starts a turn, before any provider work, it truncates the journal and
writes `received`. ACPX calls `onAcpMessage("outbound")` synchronously
before it writes a message to the provider. On the turn's first
`session/prompt` request the port appends `dispatched` and fsyncs it
there, so the record exists before the bytes leave. A failed dispatch
write aborts the prompt write. A failed `received` write removes the
file and runs the turn unjournaled.
- Runner (`acpx_turn_dispatch.rs`, `acpx_provider_backend.rs`): the
journal is read only after the provider lifetime fence proves that the
sidecar and provider are gone. A lone complete `received` record for the
turn proves the prompt never left.
- A start that failed in flight saves the session `prepared` with no
active turn and returns `ACPX turn start failed before its prompt
reached the provider`. The run's next `turn.start` reopens the
conversation and sends the prompt once. Until the proof settles, the
saved state stays `turn_starting`, so a Runner killed during the proof
goes through the restore check below.
- A Runner killed while the session was `turn_starting` restores the
session idle (`session.resumed`, no `turn.failed`). The same-run resume
then starts the turn once instead of sending a continuation that would
lose the prompt.
- A `dispatched` record, another turn's record, a torn or malformed
file, or no file keeps today's behavior (closed session, or lost-turn
recovery).
- Fake sidecar: writes the same journal and adds `hang-before-dispatch`
/ `hang-after-dispatch` faults.
- Docs: `packages/paperclip-runner/docs/durable-recovery.md` ("ACPX turn
starts cut off before the prompt left"). The design note is
`doc/plans/2026-11-10-durable-turn-start-and-tool-call-records.md` (in
#20674).

## Verification

- Red on master, green here: `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --test
acpx_park_preparation cut_turn_start` (4 tests: cut before dispatch
reopens and sends once; cut after dispatch stays closed and never
resends; Runner killed before dispatch restores idle; Runner killed
after dispatch or with no journal reports the lost turn). The two
"before" cases fail on master.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core`: all pass. `cargo fmt --check`
clean.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec vitest run
src/drivers/acpx/turn-dispatch-journal.test.ts
src/drivers/acpx/codex-runtime-adapter.test.ts`: 121 passed. One test
uses a real ACPX runtime and an ACP peer that refuses a prompt arriving
before its `dispatched` record; it fails if the hook is removed.
- `node scripts/generate-acpx-sidecar-contract.mjs --check`, `node
--test scripts/contracts/contract-fingerprints.test.mjs`, and `tsc -p
tsconfig.test.json` pass.
- Time to first token, measured with the same open/write/fsync sequence
on this Mac (APFS, load average ~11, 300 samples): `received` p50 0.24
ms, p95 0.59 ms; `dispatched` (with fsync) p50 4.7 ms, p95 11.5 ms.
Against a Claude TTFT budget of 9.5–16.5 s p50 this is under 0.1%. No
wait, round trip or file transfer is added. Recovery work (fence,
journal read) runs only after a failed start.
- Live restart-chaos wave and runner image: see the comments on this
pull request.

## Risks

- A false "not dispatched" proof would duplicate a prompt. It needs a
lone, complete `received` record for this exact turn ID, read after the
fence proves the sidecar is gone. `dispatched` is fsynced before the
prompt write, and a failed write aborts the send. A failed `received`
write removes the file, so it cannot leave a lone record.
- Upgrade safety: saved provider state gains no field (its decoder
denies unknown fields), and only lifecycles an older Runner already
handles are written. An older Runner ignores the journal file. State
saved by an older Runner has no journal, which reads as unknown and
keeps today's behavior. A new Runner with an older sidecar never sees a
`received` record, so no proof forms.
- The changed sidecar schema changes the pack contract digest, so
Daytona needs a new runner image. Older image packs are not reused.
- A failed start now waits for the provider lifetime fence (at most 5 s,
usually immediate) before it settles. This is only on a failure path.

DottaandClaude e33ede9a8a fix(native): settle a restart-orphaned write_document from its transactional receipt (#20674)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A native run calls Paperclip tools such as `write_document`. The
runner saves each tool input durably before the server runs the tool,
and the server saves a result receipt
> - A control-plane restart can cut a `write_document` call after the
runner saved its input and before any result was saved
> - Recovery then has no proof of the outcome. A call from an earlier
server process settles as "unknown outcome" (#20628). A call the current
server process admitted stays pending, close cannot prove that the
provider drained, and the session quarantines
(`native_session_cleanup_quarantined`). A person must click Retry
> - `write_document` saves its revision and its idempotency receipt in
one database transaction, under the run and issue row locks. The
revision is also compare-and-swap on `baseRevisionId`. So the receipt is
a durable outcome record: present means applied, absent means not
applied
> - This pull request makes recovery use that proof. Recovery runs the
same receipt-guarded write. It replays the saved result, or it applies
the write exactly once
> - The benefit is that an orphaned `write_document` settles with its
real result. The document is never written twice, and the run does not
need Retry for this call

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
Daytona restart-chaos wave `w-20261110T174930-s9205`, task t01 (codex,
workload C1, fault RR2). A restart cut a `write_document` call. The
close settlement showed `semanticTools.pending: [{ operationId:
"write_document", callId: "exec-8b79ab78-…" }]` and `providerDrained:
false`. The session quarantined with
`native_session_cleanup_quarantined`, and the task needed Retry. Since
#20628, a call that an earlier server process admitted settles as
`tool_call_interrupted_by_restart` with an unknown outcome. The agent
then has to guess whether the write applied.

**Expected behavior**
When a durable record proves the outcome, recovery uses it. A write that
applied returns its saved result. A write that did not apply runs once.
When the record cannot prove it, the call stays as it is today.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. On master, run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/paperclip-runner-tool-authority.test.ts -t
"orphaned"`.
2. `authority.recover()` returns `null` for a `write_document` that has
no receipt, so the call stays unsettled.

Refs #20628, #20639, #20507

## What Changed

- `PaperclipRunnerToolAuthority.recover()` now settles `write_document`
through its transactional receipt (`#recoverTransactionalWrite`). It
runs the same receipt-guarded mutation as an ordinary call. If the
receipt exists, it returns the saved result and writes nothing. If no
receipt exists, it applies the write once.
- A definite refusal that rolls the transaction back (a 4xx such as a
stale `baseRevisionId`, a reused idempotency key, invalid input) settles
as a tool error. Any other failure leaves the call unsettled, as before.
- The set of operations with this proof is explicit:
`TRANSACTIONAL_RECEIPT_OPERATIONS` contains only `write_document`. Other
tools keep their current recovery rules.
- New test: an orphaned `write_document` with no receipt applies once; a
second recovery and a late original call replay the receipt; an applied
write recovers its saved result; a stale base settles as a tool error
with no change.
- Updated test: a reused idempotency key with other input now settles as
an `paperclip_runner_tool_idempotency_conflict` tool error instead of
staying pending. The receipt proves that this call can never apply under
that key.
- Docs: `packages/paperclip-runner/docs/durable-recovery.md` (semantic
operations that outlive a turn) and a new design note,
`doc/plans/2026-11-10-durable-turn-start-and-tool-call-records.md`. The
note also covers the second change (an ACPX turn start cut off before
the prompt reached the provider), which comes in a separate pull
request.

## Verification

- Red on master, green here: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec
vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/paperclip-runner-tool-authority.test.ts` (43
passed).
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts`:
178 passed. One unrelated ACPX timing test failed once under load and
passed when run alone.
- Server typecheck: `npx tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json` passes.
- `pnpm verify` exits 2 (a runner doc changed), so required CI supplies
the broad coverage.
- Live restart-chaos wave: see the comment on this pull request.

## Risks

- Recovery can now apply a write that never applied before the restart.
This is the call the agent made, applied once. The write is
compare-and-swap on `baseRevisionId`, so it cannot overwrite a revision
that someone wrote after the agent read the document. That case settles
as a conflict error.
- Upgrade safety: no saved shape changes. Receipts saved by the previous
release have the same shape. A server on the previous release keeps its
current recovery for these calls.
- Time to first token: no change. This code runs only during recovery.
- No runner source changes, so no new runner image is needed.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip f30ac226d6 Keep project environment mappings independent of shared defaults (#20651)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A project supplies work context and repository storage to task runs.
> - Creation selected a storage owner but did not retain the selected
environment on the project.
> - Configuration stored an environment inside checkout policy, but
policy reads and run selection dropped it.
> - Projects therefore continued to follow shared agent and instance
defaults.
> - This pull request saves placement on each project and uses it for
new runs.
> - The benefit is an independent Project to Environment association
with the existing storage, trust, and recovery safeguards.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20459 and #11644. Follow-up to #20587.

The reported journey is Project > Configuration: changing one project's
environment must not change another project's mapping or shared
defaults.

Related open PR #18176 repairs placement through the legacy
workspace-policy field. This follow-up introduces a separate project
association, saves creation defaults, and migrates saved legacy
references. It overlaps that PR's placement, permission, and recovery
safeguards. The changes should be reviewed together. #9588 concerns
environment-variable response privacy and does not address placement.
ROADMAP.md has no separate project-association work planned.

## What Changed

- Add nullable `projects.environment_id` and expose
`Project.environmentId`. Save the effective creation default once on the
project. Keep environment placement separate from checkout/isolation
policy.
- Read and write Environment directly in Project Configuration. Keep the
control available with isolated workspaces disabled. Each form reads its
project's value, even when environment choices share a query cache.
- Offer environments compatible with the current storage owner. Change
the target and storage together when the existing storage selector
attaches a core project to a plugin. Preserve retained-data restrictions
and validate the observed storage owner again on save.
- Resolve new task runs from their organizational project's target
before agent and instance defaults. File sources from another project do
not change placement. Explicit low-trust sandbox choices and enforced
sandbox policies retain precedence. External provider placement remains
separate.
- Restore admitted native runs from their owned environment lease. Later
project edits apply to new admissions. Require workspace-write
permission for environment changes and clears. Check company bindings
before runtime admission and during lease creation.
- Migrate valid saved policy references into the project column.
Normalize legacy API writes. Count and clear matching project references
when an environment is deleted. Update API and behavior documentation.
- Refresh the maintained SDK source registry for the two changed shared
files. Runtime pins are unchanged.

## Verification

- [Hosted
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42908045146)
is green on `8b3b7d5b5aed51fc4c8e9c2e3506508bbaf9e00c`: **60 successful
checks**, three skipped gates, no failures, and `ci / verify` passed.
GitHub reports no merge conflicts. Standard Greptile scored the same
commit **5/5** with both review threads resolved.
- Source checkout on macOS arm64, Node 26.12.0, with fresh isolated
PostgreSQL. No production data or live provider calls.
- The two-project component test changes the first form with isolation
disabled and a shared query cache. The second form keeps its target.
Storage changes update only the selected project. A saved target remains
selected while the list loads, and an explicit clear remains possible.
- API integration creates two projects from the same default, patches
one, reads both, and checks that agent and instance defaults remain
unchanged. A later instance-default change does not rewrite either saved
project target. Tests cover unavailable/incompatible choices, anonymous
and cross-company denials, and storage preconditions.
- The migration test runs the actual SQL against an existing project row
and verifies its environment and disabled checkout policy survive.
Deletion accounting and clearing affect only matching project
references.
- The final guard set passes **53 tests across four files**:
`project-environments.test.ts`,
`environment-selection-route-guards.test.ts`,
`heartbeat/environment-selection.test.ts`, and
`ProjectProperties.environment.test.tsx`. All **64
environment-run-orchestrator tests** pass, including direct lease
acquisition without an extra caller argument. The broader affected set
passed **109 tests across eight files** before the additional admission
guards. These sets overlap.
- UI typecheck, migration numbering/safety, token gates, module
boundaries, query-error rendering, and diff checks pass. `pnpm verify
--explain` returns exit 2 and requires broad CI because shared
schema/runtime paths and behavior documentation changed. Broad coverage
is delegated to current-head CI.
- Early iterations failed due to a legacy parser that drops the
environment field, a fixture without real company membership, and
incorrect expectations for privacy-preserving 404 denials. The service
now reads legacy references before normalization, the API fixture has
real membership, and denial assertions match the existing privacy
contract. The orchestrator mock also needed the reused company-binding
guard in its service contract. The focused suites above pass after those
corrections.
- Local server typecheck remains blocked by installed ACPX, Slack, AI
SDK, and Runner type mismatches in unchanged dependency-facing code. It
reports no errors in the changed production paths. This is not a full
local typecheck or suite pass. Hosted CI supplies full current-head
coverage.
- SDK source-proof and privacy qualification passes **56 tests across
three files**, including the real built SDK. The maintained source
registry matches the committed revision; runtime pins are unchanged.
- Review reproduced two failures: an incoming policy without a storage
owner could be validated before the existing owner was restored, and
uppercase legacy UUIDs missed migration matching. Preserve the owner
before validation and compare normalized UUID text. Both regressions now
pass. The post-fix project/storage/orchestrator batch passes **107
tests**: `node node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run
server/src/__tests__/project-environments.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/project-workspace-provider.integration.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-run-orchestrator.test.ts --silent`.
- The first hosted run failed build, typecheck, and canary at the same
`run-completion.test.ts` call because lease acquisition required a new
argument. The lease method now enforces binding internally. Its existing
caller compiles without a new field, and the orchestrator tests prove
the binding flag reaches the runtime. The full server check no longer
reports that error; the local dependency errors above remain.

## Risks

- Apply the normal database migration before serving the new revision.
The migration adds a nullable foreign key and copies valid legacy
project selections. It does not move repository data or resize provider
storage. The five newest schema snapshots are retained.
- New projects retain their creation target when shared defaults change.
Existing projects without a saved selection continue to inherit
defaults. A null target explicitly opts into inheritance.
- Existing saved project selections now affect placement. Missing,
archived, incompatible, and foreign-company targets fail validation;
they do not silently choose another storage owner. A running admitted
process keeps its original owned lease.
- Local dependency limitations are listed above. No live-provider,
deployed-browser, or production rollout qualification is claimed.

## Model Used

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 358977454b test(native): cover unknown-outcome recovery and hold settlement without a recorded PID space (#20649)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - #20628 settles a host-tool callback that a server restart orphaned,
and settles the no-replay holds that earlier releases left for a
completed turn
> - Review of #20628 asked for two more cases. That PR merged before the
commit with those cases reached it
> - This pull request adds only those tests
> - The benefit is that the two edge rules of #20628 stay covered

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20628

**What happened?**
The review of #20628 named two untested rules. First, a recovery
authority that throws `semantic_tool_outcome_unknown` must settle only
for a callback from an earlier controller, and must rethrow for this
controller's own callback. Second, a coordinator row saved before
`controller_host_hash` existed must still settle its holds through the
stopped controller boot.

**Expected behavior**
Both rules have regression tests.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Read `recoverToolCallback` and `native_completed_turn_cleanup_hold`
on master.
2. Search the tests for a thrown `semantic_tool_outcome_unknown`, or for
a row with a null `controllerHostHash`. Neither exists.

**Paperclip version or commit**
master at 2150820bd8.

## What Changed

- `durable-prp-control-plane.test.ts`: an authority that throws
`semantic_tool_outcome_unknown` settles as
`tool_call_interrupted_by_restart` for `earlier_controller`, and
rethrows for `this_controller`. Any other rejection rethrows.
- `completed-turn-cleanup-hold-settle.test.ts`: a coordinator row
without `controllerHostHash`, whose server boot is recorded stopped in
`controller_instances`, settles the run's holds through the
controller-instance proof. No attestation is needed.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run src/control-plane/durable-prp-control-plane.test.ts -t
"orphaned by a server restart"` in `packages/paperclip-runner`: 7
passed.
- `npx vitest run
src/__tests__/completed-turn-cleanup-hold-settle.test.ts` in `server`: 5
passed.
- `tsc --noEmit -p packages/paperclip-runner/tsconfig.test.json` and
`tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json` pass.

## Risks

- Low risk. Test-only change. No production code changes.

## Model Used

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

DottaandClaude 37c50f70c2 fix(native): continue a turn lost on restore in a proven same-run resume (#20645)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A native run keeps its provider conversation when its local runner
dies. When the restored runner finds that the active turn was lost, it
reports `provider_turn_lost_on_restore` and does not invent a result.
> - After a control-plane restart, the admitted restart attempt may send
one continuation in that same conversation (#15297). The agent then
reconciles unfinished work. The task is not resent.
> - A runner can also be lost without a server restart, for example when
`runner.drain` times out. The run then resumes itself after the retry
delay from its exact checkpoint. That path never allowed the
continuation, because the executor passed `resumeInterruptedTurn` only
for a `resume_dead_runner` restart claim.
> - So the lost turn failed with `native_provider_terminal_failed`,
automatic replacement was refused (`uncertain_provider_action`), and the
user had to click Retry.
> - This pull request allows the same single continuation for that
resume, but only when durable records prove the same three facts that a
restart claim proves.
> - The benefit is that a runner lost mid-turn continues in the same
conversation with no Retry. No case that is refused today becomes
allowed without that proof.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #15297, #20625

**What happened?**
Restart-chaos wave L7 (seed 9107, local), task codex B5 TM2, run on
master after #20625. A TM3 restart resumed the run (attempt 1). During
the TM2 freeze the TS runtime lost its runner:
`native_session_recovery_failed: runner_local_connect_failed: PRP
command runner.drain timed out`. The executor saved `retryable_failure`
with `recoveryMode: "exact_checkpoint_resume"`. After the delay,
recovery verified the runner process stopped
(`native.local_process_stopped`). The same run then resumed as attempt 2
(`native.process_start_requested`, `providerAttempt: 2`). The restored
runner reported `turn.failed` with `provider_turn_lost_on_restore`
(`recoverable: true`). No continuation was sent. The run failed with
`native_provider_terminal_failed`, recovery stopped with
`uncertain_provider_action` / `preserve_without_replay_v1`, and the task
needed Retry.

**Expected behavior**
The run sends the one same-conversation continuation, exactly as it does
after a restart claim, and finishes without Retry.

**Steps to reproduce**
`node cli/node_modules/tsx/dist/cli.mjs tests/restart-chaos/main.ts
--env local --adapters codex,claude --workloads A1,B5,C1 --faults
TM1,TM2,TM3 --time-age-hours 1 --concurrency 3 --tasks 6 --seed 9107`
(timing-dependent: the drain timeout must land during an active turn).

## What Changed

- New
`server/src/services/native-runtime/scheduled-resume-continuation.ts`.
It decides whether a same-run scheduled resume may continue a lost turn.
Each of the three proofs comes from a durable record:
1. **The previous runner is stopped.** The latest process record of the
run in `heartbeat_run_events` (`native.process_start_requested`,
`native.process_identity_recorded`, `native.local_process_stopped`) must
be `native.local_process_stopped`. Its `processPid` must equal its
`processGroupId`, and neither the pid nor the group may be alive now.
This is the existing `readNativeLocalProcessStop` check, read in the
claim transaction before this attempt records its own
`native.process_start_requested`.
2. **The attempt was admitted under the bounded budget.** The executor's
claim moves `native_run_finalizations` from phase `retryable_failure` to
`observed`. It charges a provider attempt, and the claim refuses any
attempt above 3 (`native_session_retry_exhausted`). The decision also
requires `1 <= attempt <= NATIVE_PROVIDER_RECOVERY_ATTEMPT_LIMIT`.
3. **It is the same provider conversation.** The saved `failure_detail`
must show `recoveryMode: "exact_checkpoint_resume"`, `recoverable:
true`, `providerSessionEstablished: true` and `checkpointExists: true`,
with no `successorRunId` or `replacementDenied`. At run time the
existing runtime guards still apply: the backend must recover the
checkpointed session (`recovered`, not a continuity-break replacement),
and the lost turn must equal the checkpoint's `activeTurnId` and the
snapshot's interrupted turn. The provider kinds stay codex, acpx and
opencode, with no compaction, goal control, held result or pending
runtime request.
- `native-session-executor.ts`: computes that decision in the
coordinator claim. It passes `resumeInterruptedTurn` when either the
restart claim is `resume_dead_runner` (unchanged) or the decision allows
it.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: describes the rule and the refused
cases.

**Cases that stay refused** (each has a test in
`scheduled-resume-continuation.test.ts`):
- a restart-recovery claim (it keeps its own existing rule);
- a remote execution target;
- a coordinator that is not `retryable_failure`, including a fresh run;
- `recoveryMode` `bootstrap_retry` or `ambiguous_state`, or no saved
failure detail;
- a failure that is not recoverable;
- no established provider session;
- no checkpoint;
- a recorded replacement (`successorRunId` or `replacementDenied`);
- an attempt outside 1..3;
- no stop receipt, a stop receipt superseded by a newer launch, a
stopped process that is still alive, or a run that never had a process.

The runtime-side refusals are unchanged and already covered by
`native-session-runtime.test.ts`: real provider errors, historical
error-null failures, and no restart permission.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/scheduled-resume-continuation.test.ts`: 22
tests, covering the decision table and the stop receipt in embedded
Postgres.
- `cd server && npx tsc --noEmit` passes.
- Live: not proven. An L7 wave on this branch (seed 9107) did not
reproduce the drain-timeout path, so this pull request has unit and
database tests only. In that wave the same cell (codex B5 TM2) needed
Retry for a different reason: TM2 aged its restart-recovery claim lease
before dispatch, and budget admission refused with `Native recovery no
longer owns provider dispatch`. This pull request does not change that
path. Four other tasks passed. Claude C1 TM2 rested blocked without a
Retry button, which is a separate cleanup-quarantine issue.

## Risks

- This allows one more path to send the same-conversation continuation.
It is limited to local runs. It needs the same proofs as a restart
claim, and it uses the attempt the resume already charged. It does not
change the generation cap or `restartResumeKeepsAttempt`.
- A rolling deploy reads `failure_detail` and stop events written by
earlier releases. Those fields and events already have this shape, so an
older saved failure is judged by the same rule.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, via Claude Code with
tool use (shell, file edits, test runs). Extended reasoning.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 353945c86d fix(tool-gateway): let agents create gateway tokens without receiving the value (#20613)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Tool gateways let external MCP clients use a company's tools with a
gateway client token
> - Since delegated connection management (#17737), an agent can create
and revoke gateway client tokens for its responsible person
> - #20581 stopped agents from getting the one-time token value, but it
did this by making token creation person-only
> - The product decision is that agents keep their delegated authority
to create and revoke tokens
> - This pull request restores agent token creation, but the agent never
receives the token value: the person reveals the value once on the
gateway's Tokens page
> - The benefit is that an agent can do the rotation work for the
person, and the secret still never enters chat, run events, logs or tool
output

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17737
Refs #20581

**What happened**
After #20581, `POST /api/tool-gateway/gateways/{gatewayId}/tokens`
returns 403 `gateway_token_requires_person` to every agent caller.
Agents lost the delegated authority to create gateway client tokens that
#17737 gave them. Before #20581, an agent that created a token received
the plaintext value in its tool result and could repeat it in chat.

**Expected behavior**
An agent with delegated connection management can create and revoke
gateway client tokens. The agent never receives a token value. The
responsible person gets the value once, on the gateway's Tokens page.
Person callers keep today's behavior.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Give an agent delegated connection management for a responsible
person with `tools:admin`.
2. As the agent, call `POST
/api/tool-gateway/gateways/{gatewayId}/tokens` (for example through
`call_api`).
3. See 403 `gateway_token_requires_person`.

## What Changed

- Agent create: `POST /api/tool-gateway/gateways/:gatewayId/tokens` from
an agent with delegated authority returns 201 with token metadata only
(`id`, `tokenPrefix`, `expiresAt`, `pendingReveal: true`), plus
`tokensPath`, a `reveal_credential` `requiredUserAction` for the
responsible person, and a `nextStep` instruction. The saved row has no
usable value: its stored hash is of a value that is generated and then
discarded. Gateway authentication also rejects `pendingReveal` rows.
- Person reveal: new person-only `POST
/api/tool-gateway/gateway-tokens/:tokenId/reveal`. It generates the
value, stores its hash, clears `pendingReveal` and returns the value
once. A conditional update makes a second or concurrent reveal return
409. Only the token's responsible person can reveal it (403
`gateway_token_reveal_requires_responsible_person`). Agent callers get
403 `gateway_token_requires_person`. A token revoked before reveal
cannot be revealed.
- Why a reveal that generates the value: no stored plaintext existed to
reveal, and storing one (even encrypted) for later display adds a secret
at rest. Generating the value at reveal time keeps the existing one-time
display and stores only a hash.
- Schema: `tool_mcp_gateway_tokens.pending_reveal boolean not null
default false` (migration `0460_gateway_token_pending_reveal`). Shared
`ToolMcpGatewayToken.pendingReveal`, and `ConnectionRequiredUserAction`
gets `reveal_credential` / `gateway_token`.
- UI: the Tokens page shows a "Waiting for you to reveal" section for
pending tokens with a "Reveal token" button. The value appears in the
existing "New token — copy now" one-time block. Pending tokens show the
status "Not revealed".
- Agent gateway create: the 201 for agent callers also includes
`gatewayPath`, `tokensPath` and a `nextStep` that tells the agent to
link the saved gateway.
- The agent create-token `nextStep` and the catalog say not to revoke
the old token in the same turn: its client keeps working on it until the
person installs the new value.
- The reveal update and its `tool_gateway.token_revealed` activity entry
commit in one transaction. The Tokens page offers Reveal only for tokens
that act for the signed-in person.
- API reference: new `docs/api/tool-gateway-tokens.md` (create, reveal,
revoke) in the docs nav.
- Revoke stays allowed for agents with delegated authority (unchanged
route).
- API catalog: create-gateway, create-token, reveal and revoke
descriptions now say who acts, that agents never receive values, the
page paths, and that the old token is revoked only after the client
works with the new one.
- Agent access map: create-token policy note and a new reveal entry.
- Evals `gateways-profiles.create-gateway` and
`gateways-profiles.rotate-token`:
- Remove the keyword grader (`human|operator|admin|manage`) and the
handoff text checks. Grade saved state, rendered links and secret
absence. A plain reply or a question card is accepted.
- Remove the setup probes that called the create routes as the agent.
Under delegated authority, those probes created a real gateway
("Forbidden agent gateway"), which failed create-gateway before the
agent ran.
- create-gateway: exactly one gateway for the intended profile and
company, created by the agent (or by the person after a handoff); the
person opens it from a rendered link; attribution matches the creator;
any agent-created token is still pending reveal; no token value in chat,
cards or run events.
- rotate-token: after the agent's turn, both setup tokens still work and
any replacement the agent created is pending the person's reveal; the
person follows the rendered Tokens page link and reveals (or issues) the
value in a private browser; the new value works before the old token is
revoked; the unrelated client keeps access; no token value appears
anywhere, including a regex scan for any full `pcgw_<id>.<secret>`
value.
- The changed scenario context and outcomes are recorded in
`chat-full-catalog-testops-manifest.json` `changedFields` and pinned in
the manifest test. The inventory digest, descriptors (`oracleVersion`
v2, `sourceFiles`) and SDK public input pins are updated. The unused
`external-gateway-handoff.ts` module is removed.
- Fixture realism: the create-gateway profile now allows a real read
tool (an empty profile made the agent ask which apps to add instead of
finishing), and the rotation tokens get a neutral owner note instead of
"Disposable rotation fixture" (the agent read that note as an eval
hint).
- Shared private-browser helpers (`external-private-browser.ts`,
`external-private-browser-worker.ts`) get one optional `pendingTokenId`
input and one `revealedPending` receipt field.

## Verification

- Red: on `master` route code, the new integration tests `lets agents
create and revoke gateway client tokens without ever receiving a token
value` and `reveals an agent-created gateway token value only to its
responsible person` fail (403 `gateway_token_requires_person`).
- Green: `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/connection-management.integration.test.ts -t gateway` (25
passed). The test checks that the agent `call_api` result has no `token`
field and no token-shaped value, that the agent cannot reveal, that the
person reveals once (second reveal 409) and the value authenticates,
that agent revoke works and stops the value, that a token revoked before
reveal never gets a value, and that person create still returns the
value.
- `npx vitest run src/__tests__/tool-gateway.test.ts
src/__tests__/openapi-routes.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/runner-api.test.ts` (2247 passed).
- `cd ui && npx vitest run
src/pages/apps/gateways/panels/TokensPanel.test.tsx
src/pages/apps/gateways/gateway-helpers.test.ts` (16 passed); `pnpm
check:token-gates` clean.
- Eval graders and catalog: `pnpm exec vitest run --config
tests/runner-e2e/vitest.config.ts` on the gateway oracle tests,
`external.test.ts`, catalog consistency/contract, TestOps
export/retained, phase/clock callers and SDK input/type tests (all
pass); `node --test` on the TestOps manifest, adapter, contract,
streaming and reconcile tests (all pass); `node
tests/runner-e2e/source-sdk-public-inputs.mjs <HEAD> --check`
(unchanged).
- `node scripts/check-maps.mjs` passes. `tsc --noEmit` for `server`,
`ui` and `tests/runner-e2e`: no errors in changed files.
- Paid end-to-end run of both eval cases, run
[42872921890](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42872921890)
on 39f38a7f6c (before the last three commits): both FAILED, for
agent-behavior reasons the later commits address. Not rerun yet.
- rotate-token: the agent created the replacement (pending reveal, no
value), then revoked the old token in the same turn, despite the create
response saying to wait. Its reasoning cited the eval-looking fixture
note. The grader rejected the premature revocation. The reply linked the
Tokens page correctly.
- create-gateway: the agent created the gateway and one pending token,
then asked a question card about which apps to add to the empty profile,
with no link to the gateway. The grader rejected the missing link.
- Token values: a scan of all evidence files of both cells found no full
`pcgw_<id>.<secret>` value and no `pcgw_<uuid>` form. Agent `call_api`
payloads in run events are redacted; the integration test proves the
agent tool result has no value.

## Risks

- Behavior change for agents: token create returns metadata and a Tokens
page path, not a value. Agents that expect `token` in the response must
send the person to the Tokens page.
- Migration adds one boolean column with a default. Existing tokens get
`false` and keep working.
- A pending token that is never revealed stays as an unusable row until
someone revokes it. It cannot authenticate.

## Model Used

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 4398a723c0 fix(native): settle tool callbacks and holds that a server restart orphaned (#20628)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs send provider tool calls to the server as durable
semantic inputs. The server runs the tool and saves the result in the
controller journal
> - Close must prove that every admitted tool call has a saved result.
Otherwise it reports `native_session_settlement_incomplete` and the
runner holds a cleanup gate (`native_session_cleanup_quarantined`)
> - A server restart in the middle of a tool call leaves its input
without a result. The new controller asks the tool authority for a
receipt. Tools without a receipt (assigned app tools,
`connections_search`) return nothing, so the input stays pending forever
> - Runs that already failed this way kept no-replay holds for a turn
that had completed. The task stayed blocked with no Retry and no
continuation
> - Restarts are normal. Work that a restart interrupts must settle by
itself, not wait for a person
> - This pull request settles such a callback as interrupted, with an
unknown outcome, when its owner is provably gone, and settles the holds
that earlier releases left once their controller is gone. It never runs
the tool or the turn again
> - The benefit is that close drains after a restart, and tasks that
earlier releases blocked this way continue on their own

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20572 (that PR fixed the presentation of this quarantine. Its
Risks section names this runner drain rule as a separate follow-up.)
Refs #20641 (it settles a resolved no-replay hold when a sibling action
saved the run's files. This PR covers a different case: the hold's own
recovery saved the files, and its run's turn completed. Both use the
same recovery receipt, `completedWorkspaceRecoveryCondition`.)

**What happened?**
A remote native run started an assigned app tool call. The server
restarted 3 seconds later. The new server adopted the runner, and the
provider turn completed about 9 minutes later. The tool call never got a
saved result. Close reported `native_session_settlement_incomplete` with
`runnerSuspended: true`, `providerDrained: false` and one pending
callback. The session quarantined, and the same-run recovery was refused
at admission. A second run showed the same shape with a
`connections_search` callback after a later restart.

The first run then had two resolved-but-blocked holds with
`preserve_without_replay_v1` and an unknown action outcome: the
cleanup-quarantine hold, and a continuation hold whose workspace
recovery saved the files. The task view said "Saved work recovered. Send
a message to continue." with no Retry and no continuation. The task
waits on a child task and stays blocked.

**Expected behavior**
After a restart, a tool call without a saved result settles
automatically. A durable receipt is replayed. Without a receipt, the
agent is told that the outcome is unknown. Close proves the drain, and
no cleanup gate is left. Holds that earlier releases left for a
completed turn settle without a person, and the task continues when its
own wait ends.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a native run and call an assigned app tool.
2. Restart the server while the tool call runs.
3. Let the adopted turn complete, then close the session. Close reports
`native_session_settlement_incomplete` and quarantines. The task stays
blocked by the no-replay holds.

**Paperclip version or commit**
master at fd6e71a7ff.

## What Changed

- Root cause: `DurablePrpControlPlane.#recoverPendingSemanticInputsOnce`
(`packages/paperclip-runner/src/control-plane/durable-prp-control-plane.ts`)
keeps an input pending when `recoverSemanticToolInput` returns null.
`PaperclipRunnerToolAuthority.recover` returns null for every tool
without a durable receipt. Nothing else could settle the input, so
`semanticToolResultsSettled()` stayed false and `#closeOnce` in
`runnerd-codex-transport.ts` threw
`NativeSessionCloseUnrecoverableError`.
- The control plane now passes `admission` to
`recoverSemanticToolInput`: `this_controller` when this instance
dispatched the callback live, `earlier_controller` when it restored the
input from an earlier controller's journal. The field is not written to
the result command or the journal. A live dispatch leaves this record
when its result is journaled.
- New
`packages/paperclip-runner/src/control-plane/orphaned-tool-callback.ts`:
- `dispatchToolCallback` records the callbacks that this process runs,
and the ones it saw fail.
- `recoverToolCallback` replays a durable receipt first. Without one, it
settles an `earlier_controller` callback that this process does not run
as `tool_call_interrupted_by_restart` (error result, `outcome:
"unknown"`, `retryable: false`). A `semantic_tool_outcome_unknown`
rejection from the authority settles the same way, only under the same
owner-gone proof.
- `native-session-executor.ts`: `SessionAuthorityEpoch.execute` runs
through `dispatchToolCallback`. `SessionAuthorityEpoch.recover` runs
through `recoverToolCallback`. The three recovery call sites pass
`admission`.
- New ownership kind `native_completed_turn_cleanup_hold`
(`server/src/services/native-runtime/completed-turn-cleanup-hold-settlement.ts`,
registered in `recovery/ownership-registry.ts`). It lists a native run
that failed with `native_session_cleanup_quarantined` after its saved
checkpoint recorded a completed turn, and that has a system-recorded
no-replay hold. After `proveOwnerGone` proves the closing controller
gone (its in-process cleanup gate went with it), it settles each such
hold as `restored`, removes its replay block, and logs
`issue.recovery_action_resolved`. A hold that still protects files not
verified as saved stays for workspace recovery. Operator decisions are
never reopened. It starts no turn. `heartbeat.ts` registers the ordinary
resume path (`resumeRemoteStopComments`) for saved user input.
- Docs: `doc/execution-semantics.md` and
`packages/paperclip-runner/docs/durable-recovery.md`.

## Verification

- Red before the fix, green after:
-
`packages/paperclip-runner/src/control-plane/durable-prp-control-plane.test.ts`
"host-tool callback orphaned by a server restart". It uses the real
control plane and an authenticated runner. A callback starts 3 seconds
before the restart, the old controller retires with no result, the new
controller adopts the runner, the turn completes, and then recovery
runs. `paperclip_call_assigned_tool` and `connections_search` settle as
`tool_call_interrupted_by_restart`, the runner accepts the late result,
`semanticToolResultsSettled()` becomes true (the condition close
requires), and the tool is not dispatched again. Before the fix, 4 of 5
cases failed: recovery received no admission and the callback stayed
pending.
- `server/src/__tests__/completed-turn-cleanup-hold-settle.test.ts` uses
the staging shape of both holds (real Postgres, rows as earlier releases
saved them). Before the fix, the ownership reconciler did not list them
(4 of 4 failed), and the execution blocker was the files hold with
`canRetry: false` and `canContinue: false`. After the fix, both holds
settle as `restored`, the execution blocker is null, no run is created,
the task keeps `blocked`, and the next pass lists nothing.
- Safety cases:
- A callback that this process still runs stays pending. After it
finishes, the next recovery pass settles it.
- A callback that this controller dispatched and saw rejected stays
pending, as before.
  - A durable receipt is replayed and not replaced.
- Holds stay while the closing controller is alive (its gate may still
exist).
- A hold whose files are not saved stays; the run's other hold settles.
  - Holds of a run whose turn did not complete are never listed.
- Focused suites pass: `durable-prp-control-plane.test.ts` and
`runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts` (506 tests); runner adoption,
release-resume, semantic readiness, ACPX reconciliation and external
driver tests; `native-session-executor.test.ts` and
`native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts` (1496 tests);
`ownership-reconciliation-report.test.ts` and
`interrupted-preparation-hold-settle.test.ts`.
- `tsc --noEmit -p packages/paperclip-runner/tsconfig.test.json` passes.
`pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` passes.
- `pnpm verify` returns exit 2 (a global doc input changed), so required
CI supplies the broad coverage.

## Risks

- Previous-release story: no persisted shape changes. `admission` is
computed at recovery and never saved. A journal that an earlier release
saved with a pending callback restores as `earlier_controller`, so that
session settles at its next adoption. Holds that earlier releases saved
settle on the reconciler's first pass after deploy. No migration.
- No double execution: recovery never calls the tool again. It replays a
durable receipt or reports an unknown outcome. The agent is told to
check the current state before it repeats the call. Hold settlement
starts no turn and replays nothing.
- The owner-gone proof for a callback: the new controller holds the
run's checkpoint fence, and the earlier controller retired its journal
writer. If the earlier process is still alive during an overlapping
deploy, it can still finish the tool, but it can never record a result
in this session. The unknown outcome is accurate in that case.
- Hold settlement requires `proveOwnerGone` on the closing controller's
stamp, because the cleanup gate lives in that process. On a server that
has not restarted since the quarantine, the holds stay.
- The in-process failure memory is bounded to 4,096 entries. Eviction
only lets a much older failed callback settle as interrupted later. It
never replays it.

DottaandPaperclip 76c787fffc fix(runner): report monitor notes length limits (#20604)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents use task monitors to resume a future check.
> - The monitor schema limits notes to 500 characters.
> - The field description did not state the limit. Rejection showed only
the schema path.
> - This pull request adds the limit to the description and to safe
length errors.
> - Agents can correct notes before they retry a rejected call.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related prior fix: #16868.

**What happened?**

A native `set_task_monitor` call with 501 characters in `monitor.notes`
failed with a path that ended in `notes/maxLength`. The error did not
state 500. The schema already had `maxLength: 500`, but the field
description did not state it.

**Expected behavior**

State the limit in the field description and in the rejection. Accept
500 characters. Reject 501 characters before dispatch. Preserve a saved
monitor when a replacement is invalid.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Supply a future `monitor.nextCheckAt` and 501 characters in
`monitor.notes`.
2. Read the native provider error.
3. Before this fix, it shows the constraint path without the maximum.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `7368a0b15c2f02107778a961144d86e2eb59a952` in a Linux
source checkout, with Node 25.9.0 and Rust 1.97.1.

## What Changed

- Use one local value for the published notes limit and its description.
The server test checks agreement with the persisted shared validator.
Keep the standalone Runner package boundary.
- Read the numeric maximum from the authorized JSON Schema validation
error. Keep submitted values private and preserve the 512-byte feedback
bound.
- Test the published schema and real bridge dispatch path at 500 and 501
characters. Test saved contents and rejection without monitor changes
with real PostgreSQL.
- Refresh generated contracts and document the limit.
- Sync two SDK proof lock identities after the reviewed master lock
refresh in #20615. This fixes the remaining CI proof mismatch. Keep
compiler, parser, Zod, and all rejection checks unchanged.

## Verification

- Final head: `bac60234ab3a8fc7043a90c7f9c81b02e250428b`.
- Red: the server regression failed because the field description
omitted `500`. The Rust regression failed because the error omitted
`maximum 500 characters`.
- Local passes after the final base update: 44 PostgreSQL
monitor/scheduler tests, 14 real-source Rust bridge tests, 11
cache/Docker guard tests, and 56 SDK proof tests. Runner TypeScript
build and generated contract checks pass.
- The focused Rust check compiles the actual source in a small Cargo
workspace. The full Rust CI suites also pass on Linux and Windows.
- Final-head [PR CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42881633978)
passes. This includes typecheck, build, Runner support, Runner Rust and
Vitest, server tests, serialized tests, and all eight e2e shards.
- Final-head [Windows Rust
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42881633419)
passes.
- Greptile: 5/5 on the final head, with no open findings. There are 61
successful checks and five conditional skips. The separate Paperclip
Review remains queued; its comment says work is paused. No CI or test
check is pending or failed.
- `pnpm verify` returned exit 2 and selected broader CI. The full local
suite was not run. Final-head CI supplies that coverage. Earlier failed
attempts were repaired and are not counted as passes.

## Risks

- Low risk. The existing 500-character bound, scheduling semantics, and
permissions stay in place.
- Length feedback uses only a schema path and numeric bound. It does not
print submitted text.
- The Runner binary and tool contracts must reach an instance for the
new guidance to apply. This PR does not deploy or merge.

## Model Used

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

Devin FoleyandPaperclip d2832a5a0b fix(runner): keep redacted display events inside their schema bounds (#20607)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agent runs execute through Paperclip Runner. Its daemon, runnerd,
stores provider events durably before the server receives them
> - Before storing rich display events, such as tool output and provider
notices, runnerd redacts credential-shaped values. It then checks the
result against the event's protocol schema
> - Redaction can make a string longer. A field already at its schema
limit then goes over the limit, runnerd rejects the event, and the
daemon exits
> - The event is replayed after each restart, so every replacement
runner exits the same way. The run loops until something outside it
stops the run
> - This pull request trims a field that redaction pushed past its
schema limit, in both places that redact rich display events, so the
event is accepted and the runner keeps working
> - The benefit is that long tool output that contains a secret no
longer crashes the runner

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

An agent run read GitHub Actions output and, after a context compaction,
entered a loop. About every 14 seconds runnerd started, restored its
durable PRP session, and exited with `paperclip-runnerd: redacted
display activity exceeds its schema bounds`. This continued for 15
minutes (62 launches) until a server restart ended the run. Every
reattach after that failed the same way, so the task was blocked.

**Expected behavior**

Redaction never makes a valid display event invalid. runnerd stores the
redacted event and continues.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Produce a tool output longer than 64 KiB that contains a
credential-shaped pair, for example a GitHub Actions log line
`GITHUB_TOKEN: ***`. The ACPX sidecar keeps its last 64 KiB, which is
exactly the `toolExecution.output` limit of 65,536 characters.
2. runnerd redacts the pair to `GITHUB_TOKEN: [REDACTED]`, which is
longer, so `output` now has more than 65,536 characters.
3. `preserve_bounded_display_content` returns `redacted display activity
exceeds its schema bounds`, and runnerd exits.

A probe test with 64 KiB of output that contains `GITHUB_TOKEN: ***`,
`token=abc`, `Authorization: Bearer x`, or `password: hunter2` gets
exactly this error on `master`.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at 491dfa1c6d.

## What Changed

- `acpx_event_payload.rs`: new `fit_redacted_display_to_length_bounds`.
- It asks the rich-event validator which fields fail `maxLength`, and
trims each one to its limit.
- `output` keeps its tail, like the sidecar's own truncation, and sets
`outputTruncated: true` on tool execution events. Other fields keep
their start.
- Fields within their limits do not change. A payload that still fails
its schema for another reason (type, pattern, or enum) is rejected as
before.
- Both places that redact rich display events call it before their
post-redaction schema check:
  - `decode_rich_event`, for ACPX `runtime.rich_event` payloads;
- `preserve_bounded_display_content` in `durable/state.rs`, before
durable storage.
- A new `tests/acpx_rich_events.rs` test decodes a 60,000-character
`plan.proposed` (Claude ExitPlanMode) with `token=abc`, and a
65,536-character tool output, through `decode_acpx_event`.
- Three new tests in `durable/tests/redaction_display_bounds.rs`,
included by the `durable/state.rs` test module:
- A full-length tool output stays within its bound for each of the four
credential shapes. It is the tail of the redacted text, no secret
remains, `outputTruncated` is set, and the stored event passes its
schema.
- A provider notice `summary` at its 4,000-character limit keeps its
start and gets no `outputTruncated` field.
- A short tool output that redaction makes longer, but still within its
limit, is not trimmed.

## Verification

- `cargo fmt --all -- --check`: clean.
- `cargo check --locked --workspace`: passes, with no new warnings.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --lib -- redaction_
durable_display_content keeps_a_long_plan governance_display`: 16 pass,
including the three new tests.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --test acpx_rich_events --test
acpx_event_payload`: 6 and 9 pass. Without the decoder call, the new
decoder test fails with `ACPX rich event redaction exceeded its schema
bounds`.
- Red check: before the fix, the probe described above failed with
`redacted display activity exceeds its schema bounds` for all four
credential shapes.
- Full `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --lib`: 620 pass and 2 fail.
The 2 failures are
`codex_provider::tests::fenced_receipt_output_reports_capacity_without_dropping_known_frames`
and `fenced_tool_rejection_keeps_identity_and_real_delivery_strict`.
They fail only under the full parallel run. In isolation they pass on
`master` and pass 3 of 3 times with this change.

## Risks

- Low. Only payloads that runnerd rejects today change, and those
payloads stop the runner. A trimmed display field loses some characters
at the limit. The tail of tool output is kept and `outputTruncated` is
set.
- Redaction still runs before trimming. Trimming only removes
characters, so it cannot expose a secret.
- Companion pull request #20608 bounds the transport's restore loop, so
any other event that runnerd rejects fails the run quickly instead of
looping.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) via Claude Code, with tool use
(shell, file editing, cargo builds and tests, read-only log analysis).

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 4f8dd0e25a fix(runner): stop relaunching a runner that keeps exiting after restore (#20608)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agent runs execute through Paperclip Runner. The server-side
transport supervises the runnerd process and restarts it when it exits
unexpectedly
> - That recovery keeps launching replacements until one restores the
durable PRP session, within a grace window
> - Each successful restore starts a fresh grace window. So a runner
that restores and then exits again a few seconds later loops with no
limit
> - In a real run, a deterministic runnerd crash looped this way 62
times in 15 minutes, with no error recorded, until a server restart
ended it
> - This pull request fails the transport after 3 restored runners each
exit within a minute of their restore. The error carries the runner's
last diagnostic
> - The benefit is that a crashing runner fails the run in under a
minute, with the reason recorded, instead of looping silently

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

After runnerd exited unexpectedly, `#recoverRunnerProcess` launched a
replacement. The replacement authenticated ("runner process restored its
durable PRP session") and then exited about 5 seconds later with the
same diagnostic. `#watchRunner` then started a new recovery with a new
420-second grace window. This repeated every ~14 seconds for 15 minutes,
until the server shut down. The run produced no output and recorded no
failure during that time.

**Expected behavior**

A runner that keeps exiting right after each restore fails the transport
quickly. The failure names the runner's own diagnostic.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a transport with `runnerReconnectGraceMs` set.
2. Kill runnerd. Recovery launches a replacement, which restores the
session.
3. Kill each restored replacement within a few seconds. On `master`,
recovery relaunches every time; the new test shows no failure after 3
restored runners exit.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at 491dfa1c6d.

## What Changed

- `packages/paperclip-runner/src/live/runnerd-codex-transport.ts`:
  - Records the time of each successful restore.
- Both runner-exit paths in `#watchRunner` (exit and completion
rejection) now go through `#recoverOrFailRunnerProcess`. It counts an
exit that comes within `RUNNER_RESTORE_STABLE_MS` (60 s) of the last
restore. A runner that stays up longer than that resets the count.
- On the third such exit (`MAX_UNSTABLE_RUNNER_RESTORES`), it fails the
transport with `native_runner_process_exited: runnerd exited 3 times
within 60000ms of being restored: <last diagnostic>`, and does not
launch again.
- The counting rule is a pure function, `unstableRunnerRestoreCount`,
exposed through `runnerdRecoveryInternals` for tests.
- `runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts`:
- An integration test with the real runnerd: it kills each restored
runner and expects the failure after 3 restores, with exactly 4 launches
and no further relaunch.
- A unit test for the counting rule, including the reset after a stable
runner.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run src/live/runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts -t "keeps
exiting right after|stable window|replacement whose staging"`: 3 pass (2
new, and the existing replacement-restore test).
- Red check: with `master`'s transport and the same tests, the loop test
fails. The transport never reports the failure and keeps relaunching.
- Full `npx vitest run src/live/runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts`: 296
pass.
- `npx tsc -p tsconfig.json --noEmit` in `packages/paperclip-runner`
(after `pnpm run ensure:eval-build-deps`): clean.

## Risks

- A runner that crashes repeatedly right after restoring now fails the
run after 3 restores instead of retrying indefinitely. The server's own
recovery then handles the failed run as it does any other
`native_runner_process_exited` failure.
- A healthy runner that restores and stays up longer than 60 seconds is
unaffected, and a later exit starts a new count.
- A companion pull request, #20607, removes the runnerd crash that
caused the observed loop.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) via Claude Code, with tool use
(shell, file editing, vitest and cargo runs, read-only log analysis).

DottaandPaperclip 89ec4e7614 feat(links): add cached GitHub pull request previews (#20593)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Task conversations contain links to pull requests and other work.
> - A URL alone cannot tell the operator whether a PR is open, merged,
or blocked by conflicts.
> - Fetching every link at render time wastes API calls and can expose
private data through a shared cache.
> - This pull request adds a demand-driven links service and a GitHub PR
adapter.
> - Each viewer and company has a separate cache. Repeated links share
one request and result.
> - Operators get context when they hover or focus a link. Normal links
stay useful when a provider is unavailable.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Task Markdown links, shared link metadata, and the server GitHub API
boundary.

**Problem or motivation**

PR links have compact labels and neutral icons. They do not provide a
rich hover card or a common status source across repeated mentions. A
background resolver cannot borrow a person's GitHub connection because
it has no viewer identity.

**Proposed solution**

Recognize supported links locally. Request metadata after a delayed
hover or keyboard focus. Show a card at the first line of the link,
aligned with its icon. Share the result across all mentions in the
current viewer and company. Keep the exact original navigation URL.

The first adapter supports GitHub pull requests. Open is green, merged
is purple, and merge conflicts are orange. Draft, closed, unknown,
loading and unavailable states remain quiet.

**Alternatives considered**

Eager page scans would spend API quota on links the operator does not
inspect. Company-wide caching of personal GitHub results would cross the
credential boundary. This change uses neither approach.

**Roadmap alignment**

ROADMAP.md was checked. This extends existing task links and the GitHub
resolver. It adds no deployment adapter or new background worker.
Searches of open and closed PRs for link previews and PR hover cards
found no matching implementation.

## What Changed

- Add host-owned link recognition and a normalized preview contract. The
service selects an adapter by provider.
- Add a board-only company read endpoint. It checks company access
before cache reads and sends a private, no-store response.
- Use the current viewer's eligible GitHub connection. A configured
connection that cannot supply credentials fails closed. With no managed
connection, reuse existing company credentials or public access.
Instance credentials retain the public-repository check.
- Reuse the GitHub external-object resolver for API transport and
response parsing. Add title and mergeability to its normalized snapshot
without changing its existing state contract.
- Coalesce requests by company, viewer and canonical PR URL. Bound
cached entries and concurrent work. Cache success for one minute and
failures for a short period or the provider retry window.
- Add an abortable request deadline. Timed-out work stays in the
concurrency budget until it settles. No periodic worker or idle polling
is added.
- Add a shared browser query and anchored preview card. Repeated
Markdown links observe the same result. There are no automatic retries,
window-focus refreshes, toasts or connection prompts.
- Add ten production-component Storybook examples and real
pointer/keyboard browser checks. Document the API and verification
route.

## Verification

- Linux source checkout: 233 focused tests passed in nine suites. They
cover recognition, fixed API destinations, provider states, access
failures, credential selection, viewer/company isolation, request
coalescing, expiry, cache bounds, concurrency bounds and mounted OpenAPI
coverage.
- A live public GitHub smoke returned this PR's correct title and open
state. Two equivalent URLs shared one real network request. Personal
connection access was not part of that smoke.
- A controlled HTTP server stalls a real response body. The test proves
cancellation while another lookup completes.
- UI typecheck and the server layered typecheck passed. The UI
production build passed.
- Token gates and query policy gates passed. All 30 map/catalog support
checks passed. The three new server test files also passed a focused
TypeScript check.
- All 27 focused browser checks passed on the reviewed source tree. They
cover light/dark themes, narrow layouts,
open/merged/conflict/draft/closed/loading/unavailable/failed states,
fixed positioning during pointer movement, exact navigation and keyboard
access. A real browser HTTP interception counts one deferred lookup for
two equivalent PR links.
- The first browser attempt lacked Chromium. A later combined build/test
attempt exhausted the sandbox's 8 GiB memory limit and killed Storybook.
Those attempts supply no pass evidence. Chromium is installed, and the
final browser checks run with the build stopped. One initial Storybook
dependency reload interrupted a streaming check. All eight existing
inline-link cases passed on the warmed server, followed by a complete
27-case pass.
- Synthetic Storybook pointer events did not exercise the native hover
boundary. The assertions now run through real Playwright pointer and
keyboard actions. The fixture stories retain the production components.
- Review fixes preserve the Draft label when GitHub reports both draft
and conflicts. They also preserve neutral link colors in dark mode. The
25 affected service checks pass, including the added combined-state
regression. Browser checks compare unknown, draft and closed links with
the muted theme color.
- The first CI policy run rejected a literal retry opt-out. The code now
uses the existing explicit zero-retry helper. A new test-spy type error
was also corrected. These failures are fixed; their earlier runs remain
failed.
- `pnpm verify --explain` returned exit 2 because the browser test path
selects broad CI. No full local suite is claimed. The final CI run
supplies that coverage.
- The previous head `437913c797963aa113bb82e2ae8b836969317ef9` passed CI
and received a 5/5 Greptile score. All four review threads are resolved.
Master then advanced. The current head
`ae2a1c2adbd61a621cca9bdd160561952613df6e` resolves the source-manifest
conflict against master `9b21dcbdda01296349f3cfe0a3a6891e79df6130`.
Fresh CI and review are running.
- The previous CI run found a lost class on decorated PR links and a
stale SDK source manifest. Both are fixed. The existing CommentThread
integration test and 26 focused link service tests pass. All 45 SDK
source/privacy tests pass. All eight source-manifest helper tests pass.
The manifest helper changed only source identities and added the two new
shared files. Runtime, compiler, parser and library pins stay unchanged.
- A later review found that expired timeouts could reuse a settled
promise. The service now removes settled requests from its
shared-request map and counts unfinished provider work separately. The
new regression failed before the fix and passes after it. The
concurrency-bound and real stalled-HTTP tests also pass.
- UI typecheck and token gates pass after these fixes. The browser rerun
needed Chromium in the new session. That first attempt did not exercise
the UI. The complete 27-case browser rerun passed before the master
merge with retries disabled. All 27 browser cases also passed on the
merge revision with retries disabled.

- After the master merge, all 84 focused link, OpenAPI and integration
tests pass. All 55 SDK source/privacy/manifest tests pass. UI typecheck
and token gates pass again. The source manifest retains master's
reviewed runtime pins and includes both sets of source changes. GitHub
confirms the PR can merge cleanly. The preflight helper rebuilt the
shared package and plugin SDK; Cargo is unavailable locally. Final CI
supplies Rust coverage.

- The latest master update changed the reviewed report-lock policy but
left the SDK lock hash at its previous value. The SDK source/evidence
checks reproduced the mismatch. This change sets only the SDK lock hash
to the authenticated output of the existing master policy and patch.
Compiler, parser and Zod pins stay unchanged. All 56 SDK
source/evidence/manifest tests now pass. All 84 focused
link/API/integration tests, UI typecheck and token gates also pass on
the updated source.

## Risks

- This cache is process-local. Separate server replicas can make
separate GitHub requests.
- A cached result can remain visible for its short lifetime after GitHub
changes. A later hover refreshes expired data.
- GitHub can report unknown mergeability. The UI shows conflicts only
when GitHub explicitly reports them.
- Personal preview data stays in viewer/company caches. It is not
written to company external-object records or persisted browser query
storage.
- Stories simulate the API. They do not prove a live GitHub login or
private-repository access.
- No schema migration is required.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6. The runtime does not expose the exact
serving model ID or context-window limit. Used reasoning, repository
inspection, source editing, shell execution and browser tools. No
subagents were used.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 42d4499489 fix(daytona): force a stuck stop before starting a retained sandbox (#20609)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - On Daytona, a follow-up task resumes the agent's retained sandbox
before the agent starts
> - The host stops an idle sandbox gracefully. A process that ignores
SIGTERM can leave Daytona in `stopping` for many minutes
> - Resume waited for that state change until its 300 s start deadline.
It never escalated, so each attempt failed after five minutes, and the
bounded retries did the same
> - On staging, a user comment waited about 21 minutes before the agent
started. Two resume attempts each used 299.7 s in the plugin dispatch
> - This pull request forces a stuck stop once, then starts the sandbox
within the same deadline. It also traces the wait with the observed
state
> - The benefit is that a stuck stop costs about 30 s instead of failing
the run, and the next case is diagnosable from the trace

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A user commented on a task that used a retained Daytona sandbox. The
first run and its first retry each failed after about 5 min 20 s with
`reusable_sandbox_resume_failed (cause=provider_error)`. The Honeycomb
trace shows `execution.plugin_dispatch` at 299.7 s in both. Inside it
there is only `lease.lookup` (44 ms) and `lease.channel_cleanup`, and no
`lease.start`. So the whole budget went to `waitOutSandboxTransition`,
which polled a sandbox that stayed in a transition state. The later
attempt, after a control-plane restart, found the sandbox `stopped`. Its
`lease.start` took 1.3 s. A transition that ends in `stopped` is a stop.

**Expected behavior**
A sandbox that stays `stopping` for longer than the host's own
graceful-stop budget is forced to stop, then starts. The run does not
fail on the start deadline.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Retain a Daytona sandbox whose graceful stop does not finish (Daytona
reports `stopping`).
2. Resume or realize the lease.
3. Before this change, the call polls until the 300 s deadline and fails
with "is still stopping at its start deadline".

## What Changed

- `packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona/src/plugin.ts`:
`waitOutSandboxTransition` tracks how long the sandbox stays `stopping`.
After `STUCK_STOPPING_FORCE_AFTER_MS` (30 s) it calls
`sandbox.stop(seconds, true)` once, then keeps polling. A refused force
stop keeps the old wait within the same deadline.
- The wait is a `lease.wait_transition` span. The force stop is a
`lease.force_stop` child span.
- `lease-tracing.ts`: the closed `paperclip.sandbox.startup.state` label
also records `starting`, `stopping`, `restoring`, `archiving` and
`resizing`. Before, these were all `other`.
- `server/src/services/plugin-host-services.ts`: the host admits the two
new span names and the new closed state values.
- `doc/observability.md`: documents the new spans and states.

## Verification

- Red/green: with the plugin change stashed, the three new
stuck-`stopping` tests (realize, refused force stop, resume) fail by
hanging to the deadline. With the change they pass. The "settles on its
own" test confirms that no force stop happens for a normal stop.
- `vitest run` in `packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona`: 14
files, 618 tests passed (8 skipped). `tsc --noEmit` passed.
- `server/src/__tests__/plugin-host-services-span.test.ts`: red before
the allowlist change, 25/25 after.
- `pnpm verify` exited 2 (the doc is a global CI input), so CI supplies
the broad coverage.
- Not verified on a live Daytona sandbox. Hosted acceptance needs the
change deployed to staging.

## Risks

- The force stop sends SIGKILL to processes in a sandbox that is already
stopping and is about to start. The disk persists across a stop, so the
retained workspace is kept. A graceful stop that is still running past
30 s is killed. The host's own graceful stop budget is 30 s, so the host
had already given up on it.
- Daytona can refuse a stop while a state change is in progress. Then
the code waits as before, so the result is no worse than today.
- The root cause is inferred from the trace (a transition that ends in
`stopped`). The new state label confirms or refutes it the next time it
happens.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 9b21dcbdda refactor: remove SPEC docs and repoint spec citations (#20565)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Contributors and agents read the docs under `doc/` before they
change code
> - `doc/SPEC.md` and `doc/SPEC-implementation.md` were out of date.
`doc/SPEC-implementation.md` became an append-only log: in 60 days it
got about 1,645 new lines and lost 181, across 140 commits
> - #20557 changed `AGENTS.md` so the code and its tests are the source
of truth, and the specs are only background
> - This pull request removes the two spec docs. It moves only the
sections that live code comments cite into focused docs, and it repoints
all other references
> - The benefit is one less stale document that agents read and append
to

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20557 (merged). This PR is the follow-up that removes the docs. It
is based on `master`, which already contains #20557.

**Issue type**
Outdated content. The docs are out of date and conflict with the code.

**Where is the issue?**
`doc/SPEC.md`, `doc/SPEC-implementation.md`, and the code comments and
docs that cite them.

**What's wrong?**
`doc/SPEC.md` and `doc/SPEC-implementation.md` are out of date, but
agents still read them and append a paragraph with each fix.

**Suggested fix**
Delete both files. Move the sections that code cites into focused docs.
Repoint the references.

## What Changed

- Deleted `doc/SPEC.md` and `doc/SPEC-implementation.md`.
- Moved these spec sections, because live code comments cite them:
- §9.3.1 "Shared default-open issue writes" → new section in
`doc/agent-permission-defaults.md`.
- §9.8.1 "Issue-thread interaction resolver contract" →
`doc/execution-semantics.md`, "Issue-thread interaction resolution".
That section already had most of the contract. I added only the missing
parts: the `supersedeOnUserComment` default, the canonical policy list,
the addressee and cap rules, the rule that surfaces show the server's
effective audience, and the cross-issue budget charge. The short policy
summary at the top of the section now points to the list, so the
definitions occur one time only.
- §9.9 "Task Watchdog Authority Contract" → new "Authority contract"
section in `doc/TASK-WATCHDOG.md`. It holds the allowed and disallowed
mutation lists and the deferred capabilities. The atomic recovery batch,
restoration verification, and interaction rules were already in
`doc/execution-semantics.md` §11, so the new section links there and
does not repeat them. I did not move the "Downstream acceptance
criteria" checklist or the sentence about the CTO and Security sign-off.
These were implementation-time notes; the tests now hold that coverage.
- §9.10 "Company Skill Policy Contract" → new
`doc/company-skill-policy.md`. No focused doc had this contract. I did
not move the "Required regression tests" phase checklist.
- Did not move any other part of the specs.
- Repointed code comments that cited spec sections:
- `packages/shared/src/issue-write-denial.ts` (§9.3) →
`doc/agent-permission-defaults.md`
- `server/src/routes/issues.ts` (§9.9) → `doc/TASK-WATCHDOG.md`,
"Authority contract"
- `server/src/routes/issues.ts` (§9.3, §9.8.1 cross-issue budget) →
`doc/agent-permission-defaults.md`
- `ui/src/lib/interaction-audience.ts` and
`ui/src/components/InteractionGovernancePanel.tsx` (§9.8.1) →
`doc/execution-semantics.md`
- `ui/src/lib/skill-policy-denial.ts`, `ui/src/pages/CompanySkills.tsx`,
`ui/src/pages/CompanySkills.production.tsx`,
`ui/src/pages/SkillStudio.tsx` (§9.10) → `doc/company-skill-policy.md`
- `server/src/services/recovery/ownership-invariant-report.ts` (monitor
deadline wait path) → `doc/execution-semantics.md` §8. That section
already lists the one-shot monitor as a valid wait path.
- Resynced the git blob pin for
`packages/shared/src/issue-write-denial.ts` in
`tests/runner-e2e/source-sdk-public-inputs.json`. The comment edit
changed the file's hash, and the Runner support suite checks that pin. I
used `node tests/runner-e2e/source-sdk-public-inputs.mjs <HEAD>
--write`; only that one pin changed.
- Updated `AGENTS.md` §1 so it does not name the deleted files.
- Removed the links to the deleted files from
`doc/plugins/PLUGIN_SPEC.md`.
- Updated the `doc-maintenance` agent skill
(`.agents/skills/doc-maintenance/`) so it no longer audits or stages
`doc/SPEC.md`.
- Removed or replaced references in `maps/README.md`,
`maps/feature-map/README.md`, `maps/storybook-map/README.md`,
`doc/PRODUCT.md`, `doc/CLIPHUB.md`, `doc/DEPLOYMENT-MODES.md`,
`doc/DEVELOPING.md`, `doc/evals.md`, `doc/spec/agent-runs.md`,
`doc/AGENTCOMPANIES_SPEC_INVENTORY.md`,
`doc/connections/CONNECTOR-PLAYBOOK.md`,
`doc/plugins/ideas-from-opencode.md`, `doc/execution-semantics.md`,
`doc/TASK-WATCHDOG.md`, and `.devin/wiki.json`.
- In `doc/execution-semantics.md`, the "admission is independent of
cleanup and accounting" reference now states the rule inline: only a
hard stop, an explicit pause, or an inactive company refuses admission.
- Kept these references as they are: dated plans in `doc/plans/` and
`docs/plans/`, the dated log
`doc/logs/2026-05-24-cli-api-parity-e2e-log.md`, `releases/`, the
transcript fixture `ui/src/fixtures/runTranscriptFixtures.ts` (it uses
the filename only as sample text), and
`docs/specs/external-task-protocol.md` (it refers to the Symphony
project's own `SPEC.md`).

## Verification

- `git grep -n "SPEC-implementation\|SPEC\.md"` (without `releases/`,
and ignoring `PLUGIN_SPEC.md` citations) finds only the kept references
listed above.
- `grep -rn "§9\.\(3\|8\|9\|10\)" ui/src server/src packages/shared/src`
finds no results.
- `node scripts/check-maps.mjs`: "Maps aligned: 35 areas, 192 capability
IDs".
- `pnpm check:token-gates`: "All gates clean".
- `pnpm exec vitest run --config tests/runner-e2e/vitest.config.ts
tests/runner-e2e/source-sdk-public-type.test.ts
tests/runner-e2e/source-sdk-evidence.test.ts`: 45 passed. These failed
in CI before the pin resync.
- `pnpm verify`: exit 2 ("Broader verification required") because
`AGENTS.md` is a global CI input. Required CI supplies the broad
coverage for this revision.
- All code changes are comments only. No runtime behavior changes. The
title uses `refactor:` because comments in source files changed.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change removes docs and edits comments only.
- A reader can lose context from spec sections that I did not move. The
text stays in git history. The code and its tests are the source of
truth.
- External links to the two deleted files will return 404.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 3bf7af6c77 perf(plugins): read the lifecycle inbox from per-resource cursors (#20576)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Plugins get agent, project and agent runtime changes from the
`resource_lifecycle_events` journal. Each plugin acknowledges events one
resource at a time.
> - #20405 made the inbox page read linear in the company journal size.
The journal has no retention, so each page still reads every event of
the company to find the unacknowledged ones: about 1.7 s per 1M events.
> - The delivery worker reads a page again after each acknowledgment.
The idle-sleep check also reads the whole journal when all events are
acknowledged. `acknowledge` checks every older event of the resource.
> - On a hosted instance, the page read ran 181 times in one window at
about 1 s each.
> - This pull request adds a per-plugin, per-resource cursor. Reads
start at the cursor, so they do not read acknowledged history again.
> - The benefit is that page, idle-check and acknowledgment cost follow
the number of resources and pending events, not the journal size.
Delivery order and results stay the same.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20405

**What happened?**
The plugin lifecycle inbox page query (`select ... from
"resource_lifecycle_events" ... DISTINCT ON ...`) ran 181 times at about
1 s each on a hosted database in one window. Each acknowledgment causes
another full read of the company journal. The idle-sleep check
(`hasPending`) reads the full journal when all events are acknowledged.
`acknowledge` reads the full history of the resource.

**Expected behavior**
A page read, the idle-sleep check and an acknowledgment must not read
acknowledged history again. Their cost must not grow with the journal
size.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Give a company 400 agents with 2,500 `agent_runtime` events each (1M
events).
2. Acknowledge the first 2,000 events of each agent for one plugin.
3. Call `pluginLifecycleInbox(db, pluginId).list(companyId, 100,
undefined, ["agent", "project", "agent_runtime"])`.
4. The read takes about 1.7 s. `hasPending` takes about 240 ms.

**Paperclip version or commit**
`8d2bf78323` (master).

**Deployment mode**
Hosted (PostgreSQL). Local repro uses embedded PostgreSQL 18.

## What Changed

- `packages/db/src/schema/plugin_lifecycle_resource_cursors.ts`: new
table `plugin_lifecycle_resource_cursors`. It has one row per plugin,
company, resource type and resource id. `acknowledged_through_id` means:
every event of that resource at or below this id is acknowledged by the
plugin. Plugin and company deletion cascade.
- Migration `0462_plugin_lifecycle_resource_cursors`: creates the table
and carries existing acknowledgments forward (see Risks for the
previous-release story).
- `server/src/services/plugin-lifecycle-inbox.ts`:
- `list` and `hasPending` use a backward loose index scan on
`resource_lifecycle_events_resource_order_idx`. It visits each resource
stream once and gets its latest event id. A stream whose latest event is
at or below its cursor is settled and is not read again. For other
streams, the read gets one head: the unacknowledged creation, else the
first unacknowledged transition above the cursor. Then it applies
`afterId`, id order and the limit, as before.
- `acknowledge` reads only the events between the cursor and the
acknowledged event. It still writes the per-event
`plugin_lifecycle_acknowledgments` row. It moves the cursor only over a
contiguous acknowledged prefix. A creation recorded after a pending
transition does not move the cursor.
- An event counts as acknowledged when it is at or below the cursor, or
when it has an acknowledgment row. Thus rows written by an earlier
release, and gaps in old history, keep their current behavior.
- `server/src/__tests__/resource-lifecycle-events.test.ts`: new database
tests for the migration carry-forward, gaps, late creations, cursor
reads, the rollback rows and the plugin-delete cascade. All tests from
#20405 still pass without change.
- `scripts/benchmark-plugin-lifecycle-inbox.ts`: runs the migration
backfill on the fixture and times it. Adds an acknowledgment case. Runs
`VACUUM ANALYZE`, because hosted tables are autovacuumed.
- `doc/DATABASE.md`: describes the cursor, its read cost and the
migration.
- The delivery worker (`plugin-lifecycle-delivery.ts`) is not changed.

## Verification

Thesis: the cost is a read of the whole company journal (page, idle
check) or the whole resource history (acknowledgment). If a per-resource
cursor marks the acknowledged prefix, each read can skip that prefix.
Then the cost follows the number of resource streams and pending events.
The rows must stay equal.

Local SQL timings: embedded PostgreSQL 18.1 on Apple Silicon, synthetic
data, warm cache, one warmup, 7 samples, baseline and treatment order
alternate per sample. The machine was shared with other jobs (load
average about 35), so spread is wide. Values are median (min to max) in
ms. Rows are equal (`assert.deepEqual`) for every list and probe case.

`project-instance-secrets.test.ts`: 86 passed.
`agent-runtime-hooks.test.ts`: 22 passed.
- `tsc --noEmit -p server`: pass. `check:migrations`: pass.

## Risks

- **Schema change.** Migration `0462` adds one table and two foreign
keys to `plugins` and `companies`. It adds no index on an existing
table. The backfill reads the acknowledgment table once. It took 4.6 s
to 15.6 s on 1M-event fixtures with 0.8M to 1M acknowledgments.
- **Migration order.** The number `0462` is reserved after open PRs that
use `0459` to `0461` (#20571, #20568, #20573). Merge this PR after them.
Before merge, rebase onto master and chain the snapshot after the latest
migration.
- **Previous-release story.**
- Upgrade: the backfill stores, per plugin and resource, the end of the
contiguous acknowledged prefix. A cursor never passes an unacknowledged
event, so no event is lost. Acknowledged events above a gap keep their
rows, so no event is delivered again. A test runs the migration
statement on rows that only an earlier release wrote and checks that
`list` returns the same rows before and after.
- Rolling deploy: an earlier release that still runs writes only
acknowledgment rows. The new reads honor those rows.
- Rollback: the new code still writes every acknowledgment row, so an
earlier release sees the same progress.
- **Ordering assumption.** The cursor is safe because writers record a
resource's events while they hold that resource's row lock
(`paperclip_record_agent_runtime` locks the agent row; agent status and
project writers document the lock). Thus a later commit for the same
resource always has a higher id. A writer that breaks this contract
could commit an event below the cursor, and that event would not be
delivered. A lower id from a different resource is still delivered
(existing test).
- **Slower path.** A page that asks only for `agent` and `project`
streams is 1 to 11 ms slower. These streams are short, so the old full
read was cheap, and the new read visits each stream once. The cost is
bounded by the number of resources.
- **Many resources.** The page cost grows with the number of resource
streams of the requested types. At 5,000 agents a page is about 77 ms,
compared with about 1.9 s before.
- The hosted planner can choose a different plan. The hosted improvement
is not yet measured.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 8e4c5e81b9 perf(issues): read created-from tasks by index and inbox review waits by page (#20573)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The task page shows "Created from this task". The inbox shows
blocked-inbox attention for a page of tasks.
> - On a hosted database, the created-from list ran about 4,000 times in
one afternoon at about 499 ms each. The task page sends it each time a
task opens.
> - Its filter was an `OR` of three provenance paths over the list's own
rows. PostgreSQL could not use an index for it. It read every task of
the company and tested each one, with the list's other per-row
conditions (such as the chat conversation state subquery).
> - The blocked-inbox attention map also read external review waits for
every in-review task of the company, not only for the tasks of the page.
> - This pull request reads created-from tasks from three index probes,
and reads review waits only for the in-review tasks that can change a
finding of the page.
> - The benefit is less database work on each task open and each inbox
page. The responses stay the same.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20400 (shares review-wait reads between the attention maps of one
request).
Refs #20551 (authorizes the review waits of a page with one read; this
change narrows the waits that the page asks for, and adds a test that
pins the batched read).
Refs #13241 (adds the created-from list).

**What happened**

- `GET /api/companies/:id/issues?createdFromIssueId=…` used
`createdFromIssueCondition`. Its filter was `origin_issue_id = source OR
(origin_issue_id IS NULL AND origin_run_id IN source runs) OR (… AND
EXISTS creation activity of a source run)`. The `OR` stops index use, so
the statement read every task of the company. The list's other
conditions, which include the chat conversation state subquery, ran for
each task before the task was excluded.
- `listIssueBlockedInboxAttentionMap` read review waits for every
in-review task of the company graph. The caller uses the findings of the
page rows only.

**Expected behavior**

The created-from list reads only the created tasks. The blocked-inbox
map reads review waits only for in-review tasks that the liveness
classifier can read for a page row. The rows, the order, and the
attention values do not change.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Use a company with tens of thousands of tasks, runs, and activity
rows.
2. Open a task page. Look at the created-from list statement: it reads
the full task set of the company.
3. Open an inbox page with blocked-inbox attention. Look at the
review-wait read: it gets the ID of every in-review task of the company.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/issue-creation-origin.ts`:
`createdFromIssueCondition` is now `issues.id <> source AND issues.id IN
(three branches)`. Each branch starts from an index:
  - recorded origin task: `issues_company_origin_issue_idx`;
- legacy origin run: the source task's runs
(`heartbeat_runs_company_origin_issue_idx`), then the new partial index
on `issues (company_id, origin_run_id)`;
- creation activity: `activity_log_run_id_idx` for the source runs, then
the task by primary key.
The precedence does not change: a recorded origin task wins, the run
path applies only without one, and the activity path applies only
without both. The activity path matches only an `entity_id` that is the
canonical text of the task ID, as before (it also compares `id::text =
entity_id`).
- `packages/db`: add `issues_company_legacy_origin_run_idx` on `issues
(company_id, origin_run_id) WHERE origin_issue_id IS NULL AND
origin_run_id IS NOT NULL`. Migration `0461` creates it with `CREATE
INDEX CONCURRENTLY IF NOT EXISTS` and is registered with the other
concurrent migrations. `doc/DATABASE.md` documents the index and the
benchmark command.
- `server/src/services/issues.ts`: add `blockedInboxReviewWaitIssueIds`.
It returns the in-review tasks in the blocker closure of the page rows.
The blocked-inbox map reads review waits only for these tasks. The
liveness classifier reads a wait only for a row or for a blocker that it
reaches from a row, and the caller reads only the findings of the rows.
The classifier does not change.
- Tests:
- `issue-created-from-routes.test.ts`: new cases for precedence in both
directions, a source-run comment, an activity row whose task has another
origin run, a non-canonical and a non-UUID activity entity ID, the
source's own creation activity, and other-company rows.
- `blocked-inbox-review-wait-scope.test.ts`: the narrowed set for
chains, cycles, shared blockers and off-page tasks. The rows get the
same findings with the narrowed waits as with the waits of every
in-review task, and each narrowed wait is needed.
- `issue-list-review-wait-authorization.integration.test.ts`: on real
PostgreSQL with two authorized waits, `listExternalReviewWaits` and one
issue-list request with blocked-inbox attention each send one bound-run
message-link statement. With the per-wait authorization from before
#20551, both tests fail (2 statements).
- `scripts/benchmark-created-from-issues.ts`: local benchmark. It loads
the baseline `issues.ts` and `issue-creation-origin.ts` from a pinned
commit, asserts identical complete row payloads, and reports alternating
timings and `EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, BUFFERS)`.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/issue-created-from-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/blocked-inbox-review-wait-scope.test.ts
src/__tests__/issue-list-review-wait-authorization.integration.test.ts
src/__tests__/agent-task-hierarchy-depth.test.ts
src/__tests__/issue-blocker-attention.test.ts
src/__tests__/issue-list-assignee-filter-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/issues-parent-id-alias.test.ts
src/__tests__/batched-chat-authorization.integration.test.ts
src/__tests__/issue-liveness.test.ts` passes (126 tests). One timing
test in `issue-list-assignee-filter-routes` failed one time under
machine load and passed on rerun.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` and `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/db check:migrations` pass.
- `pnpm verify` asks for broader verification because the change adds a
file under `scripts/`. Required CI supplies that coverage.
- Benchmark: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsx
../scripts/benchmark-created-from-issues.ts --baseline-ref=bd30ef8510`

Fixture (synthetic, local PostgreSQL 18.1): one company with 30,000
tasks (10,628 with a recorded origin task, 10,445 with only a legacy
origin run), 60,030 runs with wide context snapshots (145 MB), and
261,079 activity rows; a second company with 10,000 tasks and 20,000
runs. The busy source task has 63 created tasks through all three paths,
plus decoys. The quiet source task has 3. The UI's page: `sortField=id`,
`asc`, `limit=500`, routine executions included. Both versions return
identical complete payloads. 9 alternating pairs after 2 warm-up pairs:

| Case | List statement before | List statement after | List call
before, median (min to max) | List call after, median (min to max) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Busy source (63 tasks) | 234.9 ms, 47,437 buffers | 0.90 ms, 437
buffers | 156.0 ms (114.5 to 480.7) | 31.6 ms (19.9 to 62.7) |
| Quiet source (3 tasks) | 90.7 ms, 47,413 buffers | 0.25 ms, 46 buffers
| 126.1 ms (90.6 to 300.4) | 10.5 ms (7.2 to 26.1) |

The list call time includes the enrichment reads (labels, runs,
attention), which do not change.

Inbox page (50 open tasks, blocked-inbox attention): the review-wait
read goes from 2 statements with 1,215 parameters (every in-review task
of the company) to 1 statement with 31 parameters. The page time does
not change in this fixture (median 801 ms before, 873 ms after, both
with a wide spread), because the fixture has no review waits and the
other graph reads of the map are most of the time. With real waits, the
server does an inherited GitHub review read for each wait it finds, so
the gain grows with the number of off-page waits.

Migration timing (local PostgreSQL 18.1): `0461` (measured as the same
statement under its earlier number) on 500,000 tasks (846 MB, 20
companies, one third with a legacy origin run) takes 1.6 s. The index is
12 MB.

## Risks

- The new index adds a small write cost to tasks with only an origin
run. New tasks with a source task record `origin_issue_id`, so the index
holds mostly older tasks. The migration does not lock writes.
- The created-from rewrite must keep the same rows. The new tests and
the benchmark payload check cover precedence, company scope, and ID text
forms. Visibility and read filters are the list's other conditions and
do not change.
- The review-wait narrowing depends on the liveness classifier reading
waits only for rows and their blocker chains. A unit test compares the
findings of the rows with full and narrowed waits. A future classifier
change that reads waits of other tasks must update
`blockedInboxReviewWaitIssueIds`. The function comment says this.
- The local timings are synthetic. Hosted acceptance needs a fresh
query-statistics window after deployment.

## Model Used

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 1805a1d247 perf(workspaces): probe workspace run bindings through indexes (#20568)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The terminal workspace sweep checks each Git workspace for recent
activity and for live consumers before it expires or moves the workspace
> - These checks find the runs of a workspace with one SQL scope,
`expirationScope`. The scope used one `OR` over all run bindings, and
one branch decoded the context JSON of each run
> - PostgreSQL could not use an index for that `OR`. Each check read
every run of the company and its large context from TOAST. On a hosted
database, each call took 2 to 5 seconds, about 5,200 s in total in one
window
> - This pull request splits the scope into one index probe per binding
and adds one concurrent expression index for the legacy
`executionWorkspaceId` context key
> - The benefit is that each check reads a few index entries instead of
all company runs. The cleanup decisions do not change

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The workspace activity and cleanup-safety checks:
`gitWorkspaceLastActivityAt`, `isGitWorkspaceExpirationEligible`,
`workspaceMoveEligible` and the orphan-folder consumer check. All of
them use `expirationScope` in
`server/src/services/git-workspace-expiration.ts`.

**Subsystem affected**
Execution workspace cleanup in the server
(`git-workspace-expiration.ts`, `isolated-repository-rehome.ts`,
`isolated-task-directory-retention.ts` through the shared scope) and the
`heartbeat_runs` schema in `packages/db`.

**Current behavior**
The `relevant_runs` CTE selects company runs where any of these is true:
`issue_id` or `native_issue_id` is in the issue tree or the bound
issues, the run is a bound issue's checkout or execution run, or the
context JSON has a matching `issueId`, `taskId` or
`executionWorkspaceId`. The planner does one sequential scan of the
company runs and reads each context from TOAST. The cost grows with the
run history of the company, not with the size of the workspace.

**Proposed behavior**
Each binding is a separate index probe. The `UNION` of run IDs goes to a
primary-key probe. The SQL gives the same rows.

**Reason and benefit**
Local SQL measurements show a 34x to 169x decrease in time. The decrease
grows with the run history (see Verification).

## What Changed

- `expirationScope` builds `relevant_runs` from a `UNION` of index
probes, one for each binding. The key sets go in as arrays (`=
ANY(ARRAY(...))`). With `IN (subquery)`, the planner chose a hash join
over a full scan, because it does not count the cost of reading TOASTed
contexts.
- The legacy context keys use `context_snapshot ->> 'key'`. This
expression matches the existing indexes
`heartbeat_runs_company_ctx_issue_created_idx` and
`heartbeat_runs_company_ctx_task_created_idx`. For a non-object context,
`->>` gives `NULL`, as the strict JSONPath decode did. Such a run can
still match through a native binding.
- New partial index `heartbeat_runs_company_ctx_execution_workspace_idx`
on `(company_id, context_snapshot ->> 'executionWorkspaceId') WHERE
context_snapshot ? 'executionWorkspaceId'`. The query repeats the
predicate. For an array context, `?` can be true, but `->>` gives
`NULL`, so the result does not change. The index is partial so that it
serves only this probe. A full index that starts with `company_id` made
the planner choose it for an unrelated company-scoped query. Migration
0460 builds it with `CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY IF NOT EXISTS`. The
migration is in the list of migrations that run outside a transaction.
- New tests: a legacy `issueId` or `executionWorkspaceId` binding on a
run that is bound to a different issue still blocks cleanup. A plan test
with `enable_seqscan = off` checks that no binding scans
`heartbeat_runs` and that the three context indexes are used.
- The benchmark script `scripts/benchmark-workspace-activity.ts` gets a
`--runs-per-workspace` option. Unrelated fixture runs now have distinct
context IDs, as real history does.
- `doc/DATABASE.md` describes the probes and the new index.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/git-workspace-activity.test.ts
src/__tests__/native-harness-backup-expiration.test.ts`: 132 of 132
tests pass. The second file checks that the native session index stays
the planner's choice for its query. These include the existing route
matrix (root, child, bound, native, context issue, context task, context
workspace, checkout, execution run), exactly-once counts, malformed and
uppercase contexts, company isolation, controller leases and lease
vetoes.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` and `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/db check:migrations` pass.
- Benchmark (local SQL measurement, PostgreSQL 18.1, synthetic fixture,
8 workspaces per sample, before and after alternate in each iteration).
The script compares the complete ordered caller results and the complete
`relevant_runs` multisets of the baseline and treatment. They are equal
in every run.

`pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsx
../scripts/benchmark-workspace-activity.ts --baseline-ref=origin/master
--runs-per-workspace=<N>`

| Fixture | Check | Before median (min–max) | After median (min–max) |
Speedup |
  | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 4,800 runs, 330 MB | last activity | 523 ms (460–598) | 12 ms (8–15) |
44x |
| 4,800 runs, 330 MB | eligibility | 452 ms (432–473) | 13 ms (11–15) |
34x |
| 4,800 runs, 330 MB | idle eligibility | 465 ms (442–573) | 12 ms
(10–13) | 40x |
| 24,000 runs, 1.7 GB | last activity | 2,240 ms (2,214–2,454) | 13 ms
(11–14) | 169x |
| 24,000 runs, 1.7 GB | eligibility | 2,245 ms (2,097–2,377) | 17 ms
(14–19) | 133x |
| 24,000 runs, 1.7 GB | idle eligibility | 2,196 ms (2,179–2,381) | 15
ms (13–18) | 143x |

Before: one `Seq Scan` on `heartbeat_runs`. After:
`heartbeat_runs_company_issue_created_idx`,
`heartbeat_runs_company_native_issue_contract_id_uq`, the three context
indexes and `heartbeat_runs_pkey`.
- Index build time: on a synthetic table with 200,000 runs and 8 KiB
contexts (1.8 GB), the full form of this index took 3.7 s to build
concurrently and used 15 MB. The partial index reads the same rows and
holds only runs that have the key.

## Risks

- Cleanup safety: a wrong "allowed" result could delete an active
workspace. The scope keeps every binding of the old query. The benchmark
checks exact equality of the run sets, and the existing tests check each
binding route and each veto.
- Migration: the index build reads every run context once. It runs
concurrently and does not block writes. Until migration 0460 builds the
index, the new query is still correct but the `executionWorkspaceId`
probe scans.
- Plan choice: the array form makes index probes the cheapest plan for a
small tree. A very large issue tree gives a large array, but each
element is still one index probe.
- The sweep frequency does not change. This pull request reduces only
the cost of each check.

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 9009fbdedb fix(runner): accept request_human_input payload version forms models send (#20588)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents ask people for decisions with the runner's
`request_human_input` tool, which creates a question or confirmation
card
> - The tool schema required `payload.version` to be the number 1
> - The server ignores the version the model sends and always stores
version 1
> - Some models send `"version": "1"` as a string, so every call failed
with "/payload/version must be equal to constant"
> - This pull request accepts `1` or `"1"`, and lets the model omit the
version
> - The benefit is that the model's natural call creates the card on the
first try, and a turn does not end with no card and no reply

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19405 (adds invocation examples for the same tool; it does not
change validation). Refs #20134 (aligns the same tool's text limits).

**What happened?**
In a chat eval run on master `f4337bb5fb` (OpenCode runner,
`deepseek-v4.1-flash`), the agent called `request_human_input` up to six
times. Each call failed with `Invalid tool input: /payload/version must
be equal to constant`. The agent's reasoning shows it sent `"version":
"1"` and could not produce the number. In one case it then made the card
with `call_api`. In two other cases the turn lost the card. This
happened in `questions-and-approvals.reject-and-revise`,
`goals.align-existing-work` and
`assistant-connections.revoke-personal-grant`.

**Expected behavior**
A version field that the server overwrites must not block the call. The
tool must still reject an unknown version and a questions card without a
question form.

**Steps to reproduce**
Validate `{ interactionKind: "questions", payload: { version: "1",
questionSet: {...} } }` against the live `request_human_input` input
schema. Before this change, validation fails at `/payload/version`.

## What Changed

- `payload.version` in the tool schema accepts `1` or `"1"` and is
optional. Its description says Paperclip stores version 1.
- A questions card no longer requires `payload.version`. It still
requires `questionSet` or `questions`.
- The payload description no longer tells the model to send `version:1`.
- Regenerated the semantic tool contracts, the seeded eval catalog
digest and the protocol manifest with the existing generator.
- Added a regression test: number, string and missing version pass for
live and scenario schemas; version `2` and a payload without questions
fail.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run src/protocol-actions/` in `packages/paperclip-runner`:
red before the fix with the exact eval error (`/payload/version must be
equal to constant`), green after (47 tests).
- Focused runner tests for the tool bridge, semantic tools, mock control
plane, codex semantic results, catalog and semantic tools: 231 passed.
- `node scripts/generate-semantic-contracts.mjs --check`,
`generate-semantic-action-catalog --check`, `generate-protocol-manifest
--check`, `generate-replay-goldens --check`: current.
- `node tests/runner-e2e/source-sdk-public-inputs.mjs <HEAD> --check`:
unchanged.
- Paid chat eval on a temporary branch with this change: see the comment
on this PR.

## Risks

- Low risk. The server already writes `version: 1` into every
interaction payload created by this tool
(`paperclip-runner-tool-authority.ts`), so no stored shape changes.
- Previous-release story: no persisted run, session or launch state
changes. Saved tool receipts keep the input they recorded. A retry with
a different version form under the same idempotency key is a different
input, as before.

## Model Used

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 1b7ec13acb perf(native): default remote sandbox runs to a warm, reusable sandbox for measured harnesses (#20048)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents can run in remote sandboxes (Daytona), where each turn needs
the task's workspace and a runner inside the sandbox
> - With a default environment, every remote turn got a brand-new

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
On Daytona, with a fresh paperclip clone as the project workspace, a
follow-up comment took 30 s to its first token. The run log showed
`environment: fresh/created` on every follow-up. It spent 13.3 s in
`workspace_sync.transfer`, a full upload into the new sandbox, and 8–9 s
in `runner.session.resume`.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create a Daytona environment with the defaults: lifecycle inherited,
lease reuse off.
2. Run a Codex task in a large repository, then post a follow-up.
3. The follow-up gets a new sandbox, uploads the whole workspace again
and starts a new runner.

**Expected behavior**
A follow-up on the same task reuses the live sandbox, its runner and its
workspace (plan rule 2: no full re-upload per turn).

## What Changed

- **One rule for the default.** `defaultsRemoteSandboxRunToWarm`
(`native-runtime/native-warm-capability.ts`) decides the remote-sandbox
warm default for both the lease (environment view) and the runner
(native session policy), in one vocabulary (runtime backend plus ACPX
agent). It is applied only when no lifecycle was chosen anywhere:
admitted session, environment `runnerLifecycleMode`, or agent
`lifecycleMode`. It holds only when:
  1. the harness is measured (Codex, OpenCode, ACPX Claude);
2. the sandbox provider keeps reusable leases (Daytona, CreateOS and
boxd declare them; E2B, Modal and the built-in `fake` do not); and
3. with a managed AI account, that harness supports a managed warm
session (`supportsManagedNativeWarmSession`: Codex).
- **The harness resolves as the runtime resolves it.**
`resolveWarmProviderSelection` uses
`resolvePaperclipRunnerProviderProfile`, so an omitted `provider` is
Codex and ACPX without an agent is Claude, in both decisions. A config
the runtime would refuse gets no default.
- **Lease side** (`runner-environment-lifecycle.ts`,
`environment-run-orchestrator.ts`): for an eligible run only, the
orchestrator asks the provider before acquisition
(`providerSupportsReusableLeases` in `environment-runtime.ts`: the
acquisition rule, one registry lookup for a plugin provider, no
worker-ready wait). With support, the run-scoped view sets `reuseLease:
true` and forwards the warm idle window to the provider's auto-stop. The
shared environment is never rewritten. Every other run resolves exactly
as on master, without the probe.
- **Runner side** (`native-lifecycle.ts`, `runtime-selection.ts`): the
native policy applies the same rule to the acquired lease
(`reusableLeaseConfigured && effectiveCapabilities.reusableLeases`). If
acquisition downgrades the lease anyway, the run falls back to per-turn;
a default never produces
`runner_warm_environment_requires_reusable_lease`.
- **Idle window.** The remote default uses the window the environment
view forwards to the provider: an inheriting environment's
`runnerIdleTimeoutMs`, then the agent's `idleTimeoutMs`, then 5 minutes.
The sandbox execution target now carries the environment's window
(`runnerIdleTimeoutMs`, an optional field in `adapter-utils`'s execution
target) so the runner and the provider auto-stop agree. An explicit warm
choice and the local default are unchanged.
- Unchanged: explicit agent choices, environments that pin a lifecycle,
plugin-task environments, admitted sessions (`persistedPolicy`), and
local behavior.
- `tests/restart-chaos`: the vCPU budget check counts `--daytona-inherit
--lifecycle default` sandboxes as retained, because they now default to
warm.
- `doc/plans/2026-11-08-large-workspace-speed.md`: the measurements, the
ranked waits, and the gate.

## Verification

- Unit and integration tests, one per rule:
- Rule 1 (provider gate): `native-lifecycle.test.ts` (ephemeral lease →
per-turn), `runner-environment-lifecycle.test.ts` (no reusable leases →
environment unchanged, no warm window),
`environment-runtime-reusable-lease-probe.test.ts` (`fake`, an
undeclared plugin, a declared plugin whose worker does not verify the
reuse methods, and a plugin without a running worker read false),
`runtime-selection.test.ts` ("defaults an agent without a lifecycle on
...": reusable → warm/keep_running; reuse configured on an unsupported
provider → per_turn/destroy_after_turn; ephemeral → per_turn),
`environment-run-orchestrator.test.ts` (probe result decides
`reuseLease` and the forwarded window).
- Rule 2 (explicit configuration wins): explicit per-turn agent, pinned
environment, admitted session, configured `idleTimeoutMs`, managed
Claude per-turn, managed Codex warm; the orchestrator does not probe
when a lifecycle is explicit.
- Rule 3 (omitted provider): `{}` resolves to Codex in the environment
view; `runtime-selection.test.ts` "agrees with the environment view's
lease for ..." feeds the environment view's lease into selection for
Codex, a provider-less Codex agent, OpenCode, ACPX Claude, ACPX without
an agent, and Copilot (per-turn), and checks both decisions agree. A
plugin-task target stays out of the default.
- The two suites that failed on the previous head
(`runtime-selection.test.ts`,
`workspace-recovery-preparation-dispatch.test.ts`) pass locally.
Locally, 6 connector-skill cases in `runtime-selection.test.ts` fail
with `ENOENT .claude/skills/slack/SKILL.md` because this checkout is a
nested worktree; they do not touch this change and pass in CI.
- End-to-end check of this default on Daytona (before the gate was
added; Daytona keeps reusable leases, so the gate does not change this
path): a user-default environment (lifecycle inherited, lease reuse
unset, `--daytona-inherit`), a fresh paperclip clone, built from the
image's source revision with this change (branch measure/remote-warm).

  | | Before (per-turn sandbox) | After (this change) |
  |---|---|---|
  | Follow-up, Codex | 30.4 s | 7.6 s |
  | Follow-up, Claude | about 30 s | 11.0 s |
  | First follow-up after an idle K1, Codex | 45.9 s | 20.3 s |
  | First follow-up after an idle K1, Claude | 38.3 s | 18.3 s |

The run-log reuse records show the follow-ups reusing the workspace,
environment, runner and provider session, with no
`workspace_sync.transfer`. First turns still upload the workspace once
(14.8 s and 26.1 s). Every sandbox was cleaned up.
- Daytona restart chaos wave (K1/K2/K4 with a mid-run comment,
inheriting environment, agents with no lifecycle, runner image built
from this branch): wave `w-20261110T171438-s20048`, seed 20048, on
b7f6243d60 with image `paperclip-daytona-runner@sha256:76a33275…6fe29`
(built from this branch by the `image_only` runner workflow; runner
content id `ed503454…a479` matches every later commit here, which change
only server, adapter-utils types and tests). `--daytona-inherit
--lifecycle default --adapters codex,claude --workloads A1,C1 --triggers
time,comment --faults K1,K2,K4 --tasks 6 --concurrency 3`.
- **6/6 tasks pass** (R1–R6 and T), all 6 crossed a restart; cells:
Codex A1 K2, Codex A1 K4, Claude A1 K4, Claude C1 K1, Claude C1 K4,
Codex C1 K2 at the mid-run comment. **No task needed Retry** (R3 n/a on
every task; one Claude task recovered automatically from
`process_lost`). No open signatures, 0 speed breaches.
- The default applied: the R6 sweep found 6 retained reusable leases
(one per task, Daytona keeps them) and no orphan or leaked sandbox; the
environment was deleted cleanly.
- Timings (Daytona, first turns, n=3 each): TTFT p50 Codex 21.9 s,
Claude 31.0 s. Restart recovery p50/p95: Codex 10.5 s / 29.6 s (n=3),
Claude 8.8 s / 23.9 s (n=2). Warm follow-up TTFT has no clean sample in
this wave (both follow-ups were crossed by a fault), so the follow-up
comparison above (30.4 s → 7.6 s Codex, ~30 s → 11.0 s Claude) remains
the speed evidence; no separate per-turn chaos wave was run.
- An earlier attempt, `w-20261110T170357-s20048`, never started tasks:
the first sandbox from the new image stayed `creating` past the
harness's 300 s Codex qualification bound (Daytona building the new
snapshot). It left one sandbox that the harness reported after deleting
the environment; the rerun on the cached snapshot is the wave above.
- The idle-window fix (9a74116082) landed after the wave; it changes
only runs whose inheriting environment sets `runnerIdleTimeoutMs`, which
this wave's environment does not.

## Previous-release story

No persisted state changes shape. A session admitted per-turn before
this change keeps its saved policy (`persistedPolicy` wins) until a new
session starts. A run in flight at the cutover keeps its admitted
lifecycle for recovery (`admittedLifecycleMode` wins in the environment
view).

## Cost and opt-out

- **Cost:** after a turn, the sandbox and its warm runner stay up for
the warm idle window (the environment's `runnerIdleTimeoutMs`, else the
agent's `idleTimeoutMs`, else 5 minutes). Then the controller suspends
the runner, and the provider auto-stop follows the same window. One idle
window per active task.
- **Opt-out:** set the agent's lifecycle to "Turn by turn"
(`lifecycleMode: per_turn`), or set the environment's
`runnerLifecycleMode` to `per_turn`. Either wins over this default.

## Reuse scope, restart and saved work

- **One lineage per sandbox.** The Daytona plugin keys a reusable lease
by the agent plus the execution workspace (or issue). Another task never
gets a sandbox holding a different task's files, and subtasks still get
fresh workspaces from the project base, so they get their own sandbox.
The workspace is adopted only after its stamp matches the host's.
- **After a restart,** a warm sandbox is reattached or replaced through
the existing warm recovery and owner fencing. A sandbox with a live
owner is never claimed twice. The Daytona chaos wave above checks this.
- **No lost work.** Each turn's workspace copyback
(`workspace_finalize`) runs at the end of the turn, before any idle
suspend, as for per-turn runs.

## Risks

- **Cost:** an idle sandbox stays up for the warm idle window (5
minutes) after a turn, then suspends. Only on providers with reusable
leases.
- **Probe cost:** one plugin-registry lookup before acquisition, only
for runs the default can apply to. No wait for a worker: a provider
whose worker is not running yet reads as unsupported, so that run is
per-turn.
- **Known gap (pre-existing, not widened):** with an explicit agent warm
choice on an inheriting environment that sets `runnerIdleTimeoutMs`, the
provider gets the environment's window while the host uses the agent's,
as on master.
- **Restart behavior on warm remote sandboxes** uses the existing warm
recovery paths. The Daytona chaos wave above checks K1, K2 and K4.
- Sessions admitted per-turn before this change stay per-turn until a
new session starts.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 98ce93dd4e Choose project storage from compatible environments (#20587)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Projects supply repository files to agent runs through core staging
or a storage plugin.
> - A storage plugin's default claim silently attached new projects even
when their agents used a different environment.
> - An environment name or driver type does not establish shared storage
access. The existing binding and task-driver contracts do.
> - This pull request groups creation choices by that contract and
selects storage from the creator's effective environment.
> - The benefit is a visible, validated choice and a clear error before
an incompatible managed workspace operation.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Fixes #20459.

Related: #20156 covers a separate provider-failure diagnostic. The PR
search found no other fix for #20459. ROADMAP.md has no duplicate
project-creation change.

## What Changed

- Show **Available in** when configured environments require different
project storage. Each option names the environments that can use the
same storage owner. Hide the selector when all choices are compatible.
- Derive compatibility from repository staging and managed binding
ownership. Local, SSH, and sandbox environments use core staging.
Managed storage requires a registered task driver from the same
installed storage plugin. Separate storage plugins remain incompatible.
Unknown plugin contracts and the fake sandbox are excluded.
- Follow the creating agent's environment, or the person's primary
agent, then the instance default and local fallback. Apply managed-only
and forced Kubernetes policy. The product has no separate user or
company environment-default field today.
- Add a company-authorized discovery endpoint and an optional creation
`environmentId`. Validate the choice again on save. Store the storage
owner without overriding agent run environments. Preserve explicit API
storage choices and existing project ownership.
- Keep the hidden repository-free private-task project independent of
environment availability. Submit the observed storage owner as
`expectedStorageProviderPluginId` so a changed contract fails at save
without setting a workspace policy. Instance task-isolation defaults
stay inherited.
- Reject an incompatible managed workspace before a provider operation.
Name the storage and selected environment in the error. Add regression
tests, API documentation, creation-story fixtures, and minimal
corrections to obsolete map text.

## Verification

- **102 tests passed across 7 files:** project environment integration,
installed storage policy, repository persistence, project environment
routes, project creation telemetry routes, OpenAPI, and
NewProjectDialog. Run with `node node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run
server/src/__tests__/project-environments.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/project-workspace-provider.integration.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/project-repositories-persistence.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/project-routes-env.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/project-goal-telemetry-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/openapi-routes.test.ts
ui/src/components/NewProjectDialog.test.tsx --silent`.
- The review fixes cover both archived-default private-task cases and
changed-storage rejection. With both instance isolation flags enabled, a
new core repository project keeps a null policy and resolves to an
isolated Git worktree. The complete affected set passes all 102 tests.
- The CI query-error policy failure was fixed by using the shared query
view. The form and shared query-view suites pass **24 tests**, including
cached choices during a transient refetch failure. `node
scripts/check-query-error-rendering.mjs --enforce --summary` reports
zero findings.
- CI exposed stale SDK source hashes and heartbeat fixtures that paired
plugin storage with Local. Refreshed exactly four shared-source hashes
with the maintained generator (runtime pins unchanged). All **53 SDK
privacy/source-proof tests**, including real built SDK output, pass. All
**7 corrected managed-storage heartbeat scenarios** pass; the fixtures
declare the owning plugin's task environment and substitute transport at
the existing execution seam.
- Shared and UI TypeScript checks pass. The UI production build passes.
`pnpm check:token-gates`, `node scripts/check-maps.mjs`, `node
scripts/check-module-boundaries.mjs`, and diff checks pass.
- Tested UI states: compatible choices, incompatible groups, default
within a group, manual override, create failure, loading, discovery
failure and retry, and an unavailable default. Tests use the production
form and existing design tokens.
- The integration tests use real isolated PostgreSQL on macOS arm64 with
Node 26.12.0. They cover user/agent defaults, storage persistence,
policy restrictions, company and authentication denials, and rejection
before a provider call. Discovery uses saved configuration and makes no
worker or provider requests.
- Local verification limits: `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` stop
in unchanged adapter-utils code because the installed ACPX types lack
`inheritProcessEnv`. A direct server check also finds an unchanged AI
SDK type-version mismatch. The existing heartbeat test `inherits the
instance default environment across companies while preserving explicit
agent overrides` times out at line 518 on both this change and
unmodified master with the same dependencies. The full `pnpm test:run`
attempt passed all six chat shards (1,948 tests), then the Git workspace
expiration suite reported 14 failures. I stopped that broad run. Two
sampled failures reproduce on unchanged master with the same
`unknown_worktree_git_files` refusal; the other expiration failures were
not independently compared. A later broad workspace-preparation run also
hit workspace validation failures and was stopped; the seven corrected
fixture scenarios pass independently. These limits do not establish a
full local suite pass. Hosted CI remains required.
- Initial missing-package and loopback-denial failures were resolved by
repairing isolated dependency links, building the SDK, and running
database tests with loopback access. No deployed or live-provider
execution is claimed.

## Risks

- Creation defaults now follow the effective environment. A plugin's
`defaultForProjects` claim alone no longer selects storage. This is the
intended behavior change.
- Compatibility covers repository project storage. It does not guarantee
arbitrary host paths, retained-workspace moves, adapter/image support,
credentials, or worker readiness. Matching provider configs cannot prove
a cross-plugin storage contract.
- A person's primary agent supplies the personal default because there
is no separate personal environment setting. An unavailable configured
default requires a valid explicit choice or a configuration repair.
- No migration runs. Existing projects keep their storage owner. This
change does not detach existing managed data or provide a storage
migration.
- Full local verification has the limits listed above. CI and standard
Greptile review are pending.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, tool use, and code
execution. The exact serving snapshot and context-window size were not
exposed in this session.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 d5c1f48180 perf(native): index the backup lease lookup by scope digest (#20571)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native harness backup expiration removes old session backups. Before
it removes a backup, it finds the environment leases that reference the
backup root
> - This lookup reads leases by run ID, by the
`metadata.nativeHarnessBackup.sessionScopeSha256` digest, or by the
identity's own lease ID, in one `OR` query
> - The metadata arm has no index. So PostgreSQL reads every lease of
the company, and the metadata of each lease, for each lookup
> - On a hosted test database, this statement ran 21,736 times at a mean
of 158 ms in one window. After other fixes, it still ran 2,364 times at
a mean of 121 ms
> - This pull request adds a small partial expression index on the
digest
> - The benefit is that each lookup reads a few index entries instead of
all company leases. The query text and the result do not change

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The lease lookup in `backupDependencies` in
`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-harness-backup-expiration.ts`.
`reconcileBackup` calls it for each backup root when the expiration
worker loads or checks a root.

**Subsystem affected**
Native harness backup expiration and the `environment_leases` table
schema.

**Current behavior**
The query is `company_id = $1 and (heartbeat_run_id in (...) or
metadata->'nativeHarnessBackup'->>'sessionScopeSha256' = $n or id =
$m)`. The run arm and the ID arm have indexes. The digest arm has no
index. A `BitmapOr` plan needs an index for every arm, so the planner
reads all company leases and evaluates the JSON expression on each row.
Lease metadata holds sandbox details, so these reads are large.

**Proposed behavior**
The partial index `environment_leases_native_backup_scope_idx` keys
leases by the digest. It holds only leases that have a backup stamp.
Every arm of the `OR` now has an index, and the planner combines three
index probes. The SQL and the returned lease IDs do not change.

**Reason and benefit**
This statement was in the top ten by total database time on a loaded
hosted database. A local reproduction shows a query that is more than
6,000x faster and reads 9 buffers instead of about 436,000.

**Breaking changes**
None. The API, the lease-matching rules and the results do not change.

## What Changed

- Add the partial expression index
`environment_leases_native_backup_scope_idx` on
`(metadata->'nativeHarnessBackup'->>'sessionScopeSha256')`, where that
value is not null.
- Add migration `0459`. It uses `CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY IF NOT
EXISTS`. The migration runner runs it as a top-level statement, the same
as migrations 0454–0458.
- Add a regression test. It checks the lease-matching rules: run leases,
a lease with only the backup stamp, and the identity's own lease match.
Another digest, a non-string stamp, a top-level key with the same name,
and the same digest in another company do not match. The test also
checks that the custom plan and a forced generic plan of the generated
SQL use `BitmapOr` with the new index and no sequential scan.
- Add `scripts/benchmark-environment-lease-backup-lookup.ts`. It
captures the SQL that the real service generates and measures it with
and without the index.
- Document the index in `doc/DATABASE.md`.

## Verification

Cause and thesis. The cost comes from the one `OR` arm without an index,
which forces a scan of all company leases and their metadata. Thesis: an
index on the digest lets the planner use a `BitmapOr` of three index
probes, so the cost no longer depends on the company's lease count. The
results stay identical. The benchmark confirms the thesis.

I did not change the SQL. With the index, the existing `OR` query
already gets the index plan. A `UNION` rewrite would not help without
the index, because the digest arm would still scan the company.

Local SQL benchmark:

```sh
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsx ../scripts/benchmark-environment-lease-backup-lookup.ts
```

Fixture (synthetic): one company with 100,000 leases with 4 KiB of
incompressible metadata each. 30% of the leases have a backup stamp for
another session. A second company has 20,000 leases. The table is 678
MB. The backup root has 3 run leases, 1 lease with only the stamp, and 1
identity lease. The same digest is also in the other company. Embedded
PostgreSQL 18 on an Apple laptop, which other work loaded heavily. The
hosted database is Neon with different compute, so absolute times are
local SQL measurements only.

The script measures in the order: no index, index, no index, index. Each
measurement has 2 warmups and 11 samples of `EXPLAIN ANALYZE` execution
time and of the full `reconcileBackup` call.

| Measurement | Without index | With index |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Lease query execution, run 1 | median 196 ms (138–562 ms) | median
0.010 ms (0.007–0.017 ms) |
| Lease query execution, run 2 | median 185 ms (144–295 ms) | median
0.030 ms (0.020–0.045 ms) |
| `reconcileBackup` wall time (includes file reads), runs 1 and 2 |
median 188 ms and 216 ms | median 1.4 ms and 4.2 ms |
| Plan | `Gather > Seq Scan` | `Bitmap Heap Scan > BitmapOr` of
`heartbeat_run_idx`, the new index and `pkey` |
| Buffers | 365,880 hit + 70,050 read | 9 hit |

These numbers are from head `65bd9d7ac6`. The final head only renumbers
the migration to 0459 after rebases; the SQL, the index and the service
code are the same. Two earlier runs on the same fixture, SQL and index
gave 236–425 ms without the index and 0.023–0.033 ms with the index. The
machine had heavy load from other work, so the spread without the index
is wide. Output check: in all four measurements, the service returned
the same 5 lease IDs, and the complete query rows were equal.

Index build (`CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY` from the migration file):
0.8–2.4 s for the 678 MB table over all runs. Index size: 3.4 MB with
30% of leases stamped.

Tests:

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/native-harness-backup-expiration.test.ts`: 109 passed. The
new test failed when I dropped the index before the plan check
(confirmed red), and it passes with the index.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db check:migrations`: passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db typecheck` and `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/server typecheck`: passed.
- `pnpm verify`: it asks for broader coverage (exit 2) because of the
new script. See the CI results for this head.

## Risks

- Migration time. A concurrent index build reads the full
`environment_leases` table and does not block writes. Locally, the build
took 0.8–2.4 s for 678 MB. The time grows linearly with the table size.
I did not time it on a production-size clone. I expect a few seconds to
tens of seconds on a large instance, which is in the 1–2 minute budget.
This estimate is not proven.
- If the build stops, PostgreSQL can leave an invalid index. The
migration runner repairs invalid concurrent indexes when it runs again,
and `IF NOT EXISTS` makes a rerun safe.
- The index expression must stay textually equal to the query
expression. If someone changes the JSON path, the planner cannot use the
index. The new test catches this for custom and generic plans.
- The index is partial, so ANALYZE does not collect statistics for the
expression. The planner uses the default equality estimate. On the large
fixture and in the small test, the planner still selects the index plan.
A company with very few leases can still get a sequential scan, which is
cheap.
- Each lease write with a backup stamp writes one more small index
entry. The write cost is small.
- This change does not reduce how often the worker calls the lookup. It
makes each call cheap. The other digest lookups in backup retention
(`native-harness-backup-retention.ts`) and session retention checks can
also use the index.
- Previous-release story: no persisted state changes. The index is
derived from existing lease metadata.
- The hosted improvement is not verified until deployment. After

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 be0d100a8b fix(native): settle cleanup-gate refusals after a completed turn without a dead-end Retry (#20572)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs execute a provider turn, then close the provider session
and prove it stopped
> - When close cannot prove that the old runner, provider and tools
stopped, the runner holds a cleanup gate
(`native_session_cleanup_quarantined`) that refuses the next session on
that task
> - A run finished its provider turn and saved its work. A server
restart had left one tool callback without a saved result, so close
could not prove the drain, and the gate refused the run's own same-run
recovery 30 seconds later
> - The task then showed "Couldn't finish this attempt" with a Retry
button, but the retry route refuses this error code with 409. The saved
error text told an operator to act
> - This pull request makes the task projection, the execution blocker,
the executor and the retry route agree, and replaces the operator text
with plain wording
> - The benefit is that finished work no longer looks like a failed
attempt, and the UI never offers a Retry that the server refuses

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A remote native run completed its provider turn and saved its comments
and documents. A server restart during the turn left one semantic tool
callback without a saved result. Session close then reported
`native_session_settlement_incomplete` (runner suspended, provider drain
unproven), and the runner kept an operator-required cleanup gate. The
same-run disposition recovery was refused at admission, and the run
ended `failed` with `native_session_cleanup_quarantined`.

**Expected behavior**
The task should show its real state (here, waiting on a child task). It
should not show a failure banner or a Retry that the server refuses. No
text should ask an administrator to act.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a remote native run and restart the server while a tool
callback runs.
2. Let the resumed turn complete without a semantic result, so a
same-run recovery is scheduled.
3. Observe the refusal at admission, the "Couldn't finish this attempt"
banner, and a Retry that returns 409.

**Paperclip version or commit**
master at d0057ee384 (remote native runner, Daytona sandbox).

## What Changed

- Add `server/src/services/native-runtime/completed-turn-cleanup.ts`. It
holds one predicate for "a cleanup-gate refusal after this run's own
provider turn completed" and the plain user wording. It reads only the
saved `errorCode` and `runnerProfileJson.sessionCheckpoint`.
- `task-interruption-presentation.ts`: the projection never sets
`canRetry: true` for a cleanup-quarantined run, which matches
`routes/agents.ts` and `canRetryStoppedRun`. A quarantine after a
completed turn projects as `resolved` only while the task waits on
unresolved blocker tasks, so the task shows that wait. Without such a
wait, the missing task disposition stays visible. Other quarantined runs
show a plain settling message without Retry. The list query computes the
completed-turn fact in SQL.
- `native-session-executor.ts`: the refusal keeps its permanent, named
code, its hold and its ownership, and does not replay provider work. The
next action uses plain wording, and names the saved work after a
completed turn.
- `execution-blocker.ts`: show plain wording for this code instead of
the stored error text, also for rows that earlier releases saved.
- Runner error message and retry-route conflict message use plain
wording.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: document how the cleanup gate settles
and how the task shows it.

## Verification

- Red before the fix, green after:
- `server/src/services/task-interruption-presentation.test.ts` "native
cleanup quarantine presentation" (2 failed before: `canRetry: true`,
`state: failed`).
- `server/src/__tests__/task-interruption-query.test.ts` "reads a
quarantine saved after a completed turn as settled work" (real Postgres,
row in the previous release's saved shape; before: `state: failed,
canRetry: true`).
- `server/src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts`
"settles a cleanup refusal after a completed turn" (before: operator
next action and board ownership).
- `server/src/services/explicit-native-continuation.test.ts` "shows
plain wording for a cleanup refusal saved with the earlier operator
text" (before: stored operator text).
- The four files pass in full: 1851 tests.
- `tsc --noEmit` passes for `server` and `packages/paperclip-runner`.
- `pnpm verify` returns exit 2 (a global doc input changed), so required
CI supplies the broad coverage.
- No UI files changed, so token gates and UI tests do not apply.

## Risks

- Previous-release story: no persisted shape changes. Runs that earlier
releases quarantined carry forward. The new rules read existing fields,
so these runs show the new projection without a migration.
- The code stays permanent and named. No automatic provider replay is
added.
- A quarantine whose turn did not complete keeps its board-owned
recovery. Only its text and its Retry visibility change.
- The runner still keeps the in-process cleanup gate until environment
release proves the stop. Existing lease termination receipts
(`acknowledgeRemoteStop`) clear it. This PR does not change the runner
drain rule for a callback that a restart orphaned. That is a separate
follow-up.

## Model Used

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