DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 e5d7678e4d fix(authz): name the environment settings page when an agent is denied an environment route
Agents asked which computer can run a coding harness hit the board-only
environment routes and got a denial that named no page, so they could not
link the person to the control. Environment denials now link environment
settings (unless an operator hides them) and say testing and changing
computers are board-only too.

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.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 e6b538efd2 fix(native): retire a superseded warm owner instead of failing the new run (#20844)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs keep a warm Runner between turns of the same task, so
the next run can start fast
> - When the next run needs a new provider session (for example after an
agent setting or skill changes), it first retires the previous run's
warm Runner
> - That retirement uses the previous owner's close. When the close
cannot prove checkpoint suspension, the new run failed before any
provider work, with the previous owner's error
`provider_transport_failed: runner did not durably suspend before
checkpoint`
> - A governed-wait park (a saved question or review request) always
leaves such an owner: its question callback stays unsettled by design. A
failed Launcher stop RPC leaves one too
> - Nothing retried the run, and the task rested as "recovery needed"
with no provider work done
> - This pull request lets the new run retire the old owner when that
owner is contained, and forces the containment when the close left it
unproven
> - The benefit is that a fresh run never fails on its predecessor's
close, and the chaos harness now covers this class

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

tool use (shell, file edits, test runs) in Claude Code.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 3ded7bbd91 fix(native): do not claim a server restart for a held same-run retry (#20832)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs on a remote sandbox (Daytona) retry provider startup on
the same run
> - A due remote same-run retry re-enters the restart-recovery
classifier
> - When that classifier holds the run, the hold note says "Automatic
recovery stopped after a server restart". No server restarted, so the
user reads a false cause
> - This pull request records the trigger of the hold and words a
same-run-retry hold as a stopped automatic retry
> - The benefit is that a held task names its real cause

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20808
Refs #20820

**What happened?**
Two Codex runs on one Daytona sandbox failed in `session.open` (`bwrap:
loopback: Failed RTM_NEWADDR: Operation not permitted`). The executor
saved a `bootstrap_retry`. Thirty seconds later, the due retry entered
restart recovery and stopped with `ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`.
The task said "Automatic recovery stopped after a server restart". No
server restart happened. The second run was the board's Retry of the
first, and it failed the same way.

**Expected behavior**
A hold that a same-run retry creates must not claim a server restart.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts
-t "same-run retry"`
2. On master the recovery action has no `trigger`, and its note contains
"server restart".

**Paperclip version or commit**
master at 5f38226290.

## What Changed

- Restart recovery records `trigger: "same_run_retry"` in the recovery
action evidence when the held run was a saved `retryable_failure`. It
reads this from the coordinator, so a deferred check or a check after a
real restart records the same trigger.
- `executionRecoverySettlementNote` says "Automatic retry of this run
stopped" for such a hold. It does not name a cause, because the
classifier can also stop it for `execution_recovery_budget_exhausted`.
Holds without the field keep the old text.
- Tests: one integration case with the staging signature and one unit
case for the note.

## Verification

- Red on master: the integration case fails because `evidence.trigger`
is absent; the unit case fails because the note says "server restart".
- Green here: `npx vitest run
src/services/execution-recovery-resolution.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts
-t "server restart|same-run retry|exited remote runner|remote bootstrap
retry held"`: 19 pass on the rebased head.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json`: clean.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change adds one optional evidence field and one note
branch. Recovery decisions do not change.
- Saved state: holds that an older release wrote have no `trigger` and
keep the old note. A mid-run deploy reads the field only when present.
- Not fixed here: the Codex Planning startup fault itself (`bwrap:
loopback: Failed RTM_NEWADDR`). #20820 changes the external-sandbox
planning profile so Codex no longer uses its network-isolated filesystem
helper.

DottaandClaude Fable 5.2 464e1de9b1 perf(issues): decide task reads for a list in one batch (#20858)
The task routes that filter several rows for one actor (summaries, lists, blockers, relation edges and the chat bootstrap) asked for one authorization decision per task, all at the same time. Each decision sent a task-row read and a copy of the task-privacy statement, which is more than 1 KB of SQL, so a request for 50 summaries sent 127 to 279 statements on every pool connection at once.

The routes now ask the authorization service for all decisions in one batched read. It reads the task rows and applies the same privacy predicate to all of them in one statement, and reads membership, agent and run policy once. Within a batch, the authorizing user's membership is read once, and the boundary checks of a low-trust agent, which stay per task, run at most eight at a time.

A request for 50 summaries now sends 22 to 28 statements (65 for a low-trust agent). Tests compare the batch with one check per task for 24 actors.

DottaandClaude c8ae02e5ce fix(native): start a fresh session when an accepted run's provider state was not saved (#20811)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A native run in a per-turn remote sandbox saves a provider state
backup after its result is accepted. The sandbox is then released, so
the backup is the only copy of the provider session.
> - When that backup fails to save (for example, #20772: storage
throttling), the run keeps its accepted result. Nothing records that its
checkpoint can no longer be resumed.
> - The next run on the session rebinds that checkpoint and asks the
Runner to resume. The Runner has no state and refuses (#20757). With the
normal policy, the run opens a replacement session after that failed
attempt. With a governed-wait or unfinished-goal checkpoint, the run
fails with `native_provider_state_incompatible`, and only Retry or the
next message starts fresh.
> - The server already knew the state was gone when the backup failed.
The failed resume is wasted work.
> - This pull request marks the accepted run's checkpoint as not
resumable at the moment the backup fails. The next run then starts a
fresh provider session directly.
> - The benefit is that a lost backup no longer costs a failed run or a
failed resume attempt before the task continues.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20757 (the missing-state refusal that the next run reaches today).
Refs #20772 (the throttled backup upload that loses the backup). Refs
#20809 (a related fix for governed-wait follow-ups that reach the
missing state; this PR stops most of them from reaching it).

**What happened?**

1. A native run in a per-turn sandbox finished, and its result was
accepted.
2. `harness_state.backup.persist` failed. The run recorded
`native.post_result_failure`. Its run row kept a normal
`sessionCheckpoint`.
3. The sandbox was released.
4. The next run on the same session selected that run as its resume
source, and `rebindNativeSessionCheckpoint` returned the checkpoint.
5. The Runner found no saved state and refused with `PRP provider resume
state is unavailable`. The run then opened a replacement session after
the failed attempt, or (governed-wait or unfinished-goal checkpoint)
failed with `native_provider_state_incompatible`. Retry or the next
message then started fresh.

**Expected behavior**

The next run starts a fresh provider session at once, because the server
already knows the saved state is not there. The accepted result and the
task outcome stay as they are.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Give a run row an accepted result and a normal `sessionCheckpoint`.
2. Make its close checkpoint fail in a per-turn sandbox
(`reusableLeaseConfigured: false`).
3. Select the next run's resume source with `findNativeSessionResumeRun`
and call `rebindNativeSessionCheckpoint`.
4. On `master` it returns the checkpoint, so the next run tries to
resume state that does not exist.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `556b249897`.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/native-runtime/native-provider-state-unsaved.ts`
(new): `markAcceptedRunProviderStateUnsaved` adds
`nativeProviderStateUnsaved: { code:
"native_provider_state_incompatible", reason: "harness_backup_not_saved"
}` to the run's `runnerProfileJson`. One conditional `UPDATE` writes it
only when the run's coordinator holds a result with `schema_status =
'accepted'`. `clearRunProviderStateUnsaved` removes it.
- `server/src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.ts`: the
remote close checkpoint (`checkpointRemoteRunner`) now wraps the
existing body. When the checkpoint throws in a sandbox without a
reusable lease, it calls the marker, writes one run-log line, and throws
the original error. A marker or log failure cannot replace that error.
If a later checkpoint of the same run saves, it clears the mark.
- `server/src/services/native-runtime/native-session-resume.ts`:
`rebindNativeSessionCheckpoint` returns `null` for a source with the
mark, as it already does for `errorCode =
native_provider_state_incompatible`. `findNativeSessionResumeRun`
projects the new key.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: one additive paragraph.
- Tests in `native-session-resume.test.ts` and
`native-session-executor.test.ts`.

Guard conditions. The mark is written only when all of these are true:

- The close checkpoint threw before the durable backup was stored (after
the upload's own bounded retries). A later local publication, stamp or
cleanup failure does not mark the run.
- The target is a remote `sandbox` with `reusableLeaseConfigured !==
true`. A retained sandbox or an SSH host keeps the live state, so its
resume path is unchanged.
- The run holds an accepted result. A failure before acceptance changes
nothing.

Saved state from the previous release: run rows without the key keep
today's resume path. An older server that reads a row with the key
ignores it, and so it behaves as it does today. No schema change.

User-visible: the next run's transcript shows "Paperclip session
started" instead of "resumed", with a new session id. The source run's
log shows `provider state was not saved after the accepted result; the
next run starts a fresh provider session`. The fresh session gets the
full task context, as for other fresh starts.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-resume.test.ts -t "not
resumable only after|provider state was not saved"`: 9 pass (6 pure, 3
embedded Postgres).
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts -t "marks
the provider state unsaved|uses the bundled Linux image authority for
remote opencode-new-durable"`: 8 pass. They include a durable store
failure (marked) and a local publication failure after the store (not
marked).
- Red on `master` (source files reverted, tests kept): the 3 "starts the
next run in a fresh provider session directly" cases fail (`expected {…}
to be null`), the DB "accepted" case fails the same way, and the
executor per-turn case fails (`mark` called 0 times).
- Guard removal checks:
- Sandbox guard replaced with `true`: the "retained sandbox" case fails
(`mark` called once).
  - `!checkpointBackupStored` removed: the "publish-failed" case fails.
- `schema_status = 'accepted'` removed from the marker: the "rejected"
case fails (`expected true to be false`).
- Negative cases that pass: no result, rejected result, retained
sandbox, records without the key or with another code (all three
recovery policies), and a later save that clears the mark.
- `cd server && npx tsc --noEmit -p .`: clean.
- Not related to this change and failing on `master` in this worktree
too: `runtime-selection.test.ts` connector skill cases (missing
`.claude/skills/*/SKILL.md`) and `native-session-resume.test.ts`
"archives a damaged prior epoch" (`ENOENT … authority-epochs`). Required
CI is the authority for those suites.

## Risks

- Low. The change only skips a resume that cannot succeed. The fresh
session uses the same workspace and full task context, like a Retry
after `native_provider_state_incompatible`.
- If the backup failed but the provider state were still somewhere
recoverable, the next run would lose provider context. For a per-turn
sandbox without a reusable lease, the restore path uses only the backup,
so this does not apply. Retained sandboxes and SSH hosts are excluded.
- One extra conditional `UPDATE` runs only on the failure path. The
normal path before `turn.start` has no new waits or work.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md` is also edited by #20809. The paragraphs
are at different places; whichever merges second rebases.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 1b39cf1794 fix(native): retry a contended provider-pack admission write (#20850)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A native OpenCode run on a remote sandbox must save a provider-pack
admission receipt on its run row after the provider session opens.
Artifact retention refuses to continue without it.
> - The admission write locks the coordinator row
(`native_run_finalizations`) and then the run row, each with a 1000 ms
`lock_timeout`. The runner's durable checkpoint writes lock the same
coordinator row for the whole checkpoint transaction.
> - On a loaded database one checkpoint transaction can outlast one lock
wait. The admission write then fails with `55P03`, the state stays
`pending`, and artifact retention fails the run as
`native_provider_artifacts_admission_unverified` before the first turn.
The task rests blocked.
> - #20682 fixed the same symptom for a run-event append on the run row.
This is the coordinator-row half.
> - This pull request retries a contended admission write a bounded
number of times, each in a new transaction that re-proves the claim. It
also names the database cause in the run log and adds a chaos option
that makes every fresh sandbox take the pack upload and admission path.
> - The benefit is that a healthy fresh sandbox is no longer failed and
blocked by ordinary lock contention.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20682 (same symptom, run-row lock; this is the coordinator-row
lock).

**What happened?**
On a hosted staging instance, an OpenCode run on a fresh Daytona sandbox
found no matching preinstalled provider pack (`provider_pack.select`
reason `cached_packs_unverified`). It uploaded and verified the pack (61
s), started the runner, and the runner authenticated to the durable
control plane. 3.4 s later the run log shows `native provider-pack
admission receipt could not be saved`.
`nativeProviderPackAdmissionState.state` stayed `pending`. The run
failed with `native_provider_artifacts_admission_unverified` before any
provider turn. The task rests `blocked` with no Retry.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a native run that waits for its claim (`waitForClaim: true`, as
a fresh run with artifact storage does).
2. Hold its `native_run_finalizations` row `FOR UPDATE` in another
transaction for 1.6 s, as a checkpoint write does.
3. Call `recordNativeProviderPackAdmission`. It fails with `canceling
statement due to lock timeout` (`55P03`).

**Expected behavior**
The admission waits out the checkpoint write within a bound, re-proves
the claim, and saves the receipt.

## What Changed

- `recordNativeProviderPackAdmission` retries a write that waits for its
claim when it fails with `55P03`, `40P01` or `40001`, up to 5 attempts
with 100–400 ms back-off. Each attempt is a new transaction with the
same checks (claim, run, epoch, receipt). A stale claim still returns
`false`. Other errors still throw. A write that does not wait for its
claim keeps its `NOWAIT` refusal.
- New `nativeProviderPackAdmissionFailureCode` reads the SQLSTATE from
the error or its cause.
- The executor's run-log line now ends with `(cause=<SQLSTATE or
native_* code>)`, so a lost admission is diagnosable. It carries no
paths or secrets.
- Restart chaos: `--daytona-pack-mismatch <image@sha256:…>` starts
sandboxes from another image while the controller keeps
`--daytona-image`'s runnerd and pack. Every fresh sandbox then takes the
upload and admission path, which the matched-image check made
unreachable. Config validation and README updated.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md` describes the bounded retry.

## Verification

- RED on `origin/master` (`1d67e309e0`): `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-provider-pack-admission.test.ts -t
"checkpoint write holds"` fails with `canceling statement due to lock
timeout` (`55P03`), the staging error.
- GREEN: the same file, 39/39 pass, including the existing fence tests
(`cannot publish while another transaction holds the coordinator claim`,
revoked-claim recheck) and the new bound test (`gives up after the
bounded retry window while the claim stays held`, under 15 s).
- `pnpm exec vitest run --config tests/restart-chaos/vitest.config.ts
tests/restart-chaos/scheduler.test.ts`: 34/34 pass, including the new
option test.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsc --noEmit` and `tsc
--noEmit -p tests/restart-chaos/tsconfig.json` pass.
- Not run: a Daytona chaos wave with `--daytona-pack-mismatch`. It needs
a runner image built at this revision. The staging cause is inferred
from the timing and the code path; the original error was swallowed,
which is why this PR adds the cause to the run log.

## Risks

- Low risk. The normal path has no contention and makes one attempt.
Under contention the write waits at most about 11 s before the first
provider turn. Without this change that case failed the run.
- A retry cannot widen authority: every attempt re-checks the
coordinator claim, lease expiry, run status and admission epoch.
- When admission still fails after the retries, the run fails as before.
This PR does not change that recovery path.

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 Fable 5.2 8ab955776d perf(github): check the requester provenance of an issue list's review waits in one batch (#20851)
<!-- Write all pull request text in Simplified Technical English
(ASD-STE100): short sentences, one instruction per sentence, simple
approved vocabulary, and the active voice. -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - An agent can review a GitHub pull request. After the agent publishes
the review, the task waits in review for the next GitHub reply. A later
run of the same task can inherit this wait.
> - Issue lists, issue summaries and inbox attention show these waits.
For each waiting task, the server first checks the requester provenance
of the waiting run (`chatRunSourceMessageId`). This check is an
authorization check: it walks the identity-context lineage of the run
and rejects a changed requester, another task, another company or
another provider.
> - #20673 batched the review reads and the publication reads of one
list request. It kept the provenance check as one call for each waiting
run, inside `Promise.all`.
> - Thus a request with N waits still built and sent at least 2N
statements at the same moment. The database is fast for each statement,
but the server builds each statement on its main thread.
> - On a hosted instance, a CPU profile of the server showed the main
thread at 96% of one core. SQL text building, per-statement timers,
socket writes and garbage collection had the largest shares. Connection
samples showed 235 to 292 pool connections whose last statement was the
source-message link read of this check, and 53 to 112 whose last
statement was its identity-context read.
> - This pull request checks the provenance of all the waiting runs of
one request in one batch. The runs that need the same kind of read share
one statement. Each run gets the same decision as a separate call, from
the same walk and the same reads.
> - The benefit is that a list request with 250 waits sends 17
statements, not 658, and uses about one quarter of the CPU time. The
statement count no longer follows the number of waits.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20673 (batched the review reads and the publication reads of the
same request; this change does the same for the provenance reads that
#20673 kept for each run).
Refs #20551 (authorizes the waits of one issue page with one read).

**What happened**

`readInheritedGitHubReviewWaits` called `chatRunSourceMessageId` one
time for each waiting run, inside `Promise.all`. Each call sent an
identity-context read and a source-message link read. A run that
continues an earlier run also sent a parent-context read and a
source-run read for each continuation in its lineage.
`listExternalReviewWaits` calls this function for the issue list, the
issue summaries and the inbox attention of a company, so each of those
requests repeated the same reads for every waiting task.

Evidence from a hosted instance (sanitized):

- CPU profile of the server process, 30 s, 5 ms samples: main thread at
96% of one core. Building SQL text for select statements: 17.7%
inclusive. The idle-timer restart that the database client does for each
statement: 7.6%. Socket writes: 6.2%. Garbage collection: 13%.
- Three samples of the pool connections (about 494 connections). 235 to
292 connections had the source-message link read of
`chatRunSourceMessageId` as their last statement. 53 to 112 connections
had its identity-context read as their last statement.
- The `DISTINCT ON` review read that #20673 added ran about 29 times
each minute. It runs one time for each list request, so each request
started hundreds of provenance reads.

**Expected behavior**

One list request sends a number of provenance statements that does not
follow the number of waiting tasks. The decision for each run does not
change.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Put many tasks of one company in review, each with an inherited
GitHub review wait.
2. Open the issue list or the inbox.
3. Count the statements that the server sends. The identity-context read
and the source-message link read run one time for each waiting task.

The benchmark below does these steps on a local PostgreSQL.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/chat-channels/run-origin.ts`:
- The provenance decision is now one walk (`sourceMessageWalk`). The
walk asks for one read at a time and decides on the returned rows only.
Its checks, their order and its error messages are the checks of the
previous `chatRunSourceMessageId`.
- The five reads of the walk (active identity context, source-message
link, board message, parent context, source run) are defined one time in
`provenanceReads`. Each definition takes its values either as literals
or as SQL columns.
- `chatRunSourceMessageId` (single run) drives the walk with one
statement for each read, as before. The joins, the company scope and the
filters are the same. The identity-context reads now select the seven
columns that the walk uses instead of every column.
- New `chatRunSourceMessageIds(db, runs, options)` (batch). It drives
one walk for each run. In each round, the runs that wait for the same
kind of read share one statement: `unnest(...)` of the request values,
`CROSS JOIN LATERAL` the same single-row read with the request columns
in place of the literals. Thus each run gets the row that its own single
read returns, with `LIMIT 1` and the company scope on each join. The
result for each run is `{ messageId }` or `{ forbidden }` (the 403 that
the single call throws). A database error rejects the whole batch, as
`Promise.all` did.
- `server/src/services/chat-channels/github/review-wait.ts`:
`readInheritedGitHubReviewWaits` checks the provenance of its runs with
the batch. A 403 still gives `revoked`. The single-run
`readInheritedGitHubReviewWait` does not change.
- `server/src/services/chat-channels/run-origin.test.ts`: two new tests
(see Verification).
- `server/src/__tests__/github-review-wait.test.ts`: one new regression
test for the statement count.
- `server/scripts/benchmark-review-wait-provenance.ts`: the reproduction
and the before/after measurement. It loads the pre-fix modules from
`--baseline-ref` and fails unless both versions return the same waits.
- `scripts/benchmark-github-review-wait.ts`: removed an assertion that
`run-origin.ts` is byte-identical to its baseline. Both sides of that
benchmark import the current helper, so the comparison stays fair.
Without this change, the documented command of that benchmark fails.
- `doc/DATABASE.md`: describes the batch provenance check and the new
benchmark command.

Statement count of one batch: the walk of one run does at most 3 + 4L
reads, where L is the number of continuations in its requester lineage.
The batch does the same number of rounds for its longest lineage. Each
round sends at most one statement for each kind of read (5 kinds), for
any number of runs. A request whose waiting runs accepted their GitHub
comment directly sends 2 provenance statements.

## Verification

Red/green regression test
(`server/src/__tests__/github-review-wait.test.ts`):

- `reads the waits of forty runs with the statements of four runs`.
Before the fix: `expected { few: 10, many: 82 } to deeply equal { few:
4, many: 4 }`. After the fix: passes.

Equivalence tests
(`server/src/services/chat-channels/run-origin.test.ts`), on real
PostgreSQL:

- `gives every run of a batch the decision of its own check, in every
provenance state`. 33 runs, each in a different provenance state, are
checked with the single function and with the batch for five option sets
(no options, legacy wake allowed, GitHub, GitHub with legacy wake,
Slack). The test compares the decision of each run (message, `null`, or
the 403 and its message) for: the full batch, the reversed batch, and a
batch of one run. The states include the negative cases: a run of
another company, a message that is linked only in another company, a
message that is linked to another task, a conversation that moved to
another task, a continuation on another task, a changed requester (run,
identity context, continuation, board message), a link of another
provider, a missing link, an outbound link only, a deleted message, an
agent message, a rejected or pending identity context, a missing parent,
another agent and a lineage cycle. The test also states the expected
GitHub decision for each state, so the comparison cannot pass on two
wrong answers.
- `checks the runs of a batch with statements that follow the lineage,
not the number of runs`. 4 runs and 40 runs each send 2 statements. 40
separate checks send 80. One continuation in each lineage gives 4
statements for the batch.
- A mutation check: when the batch gives a row to the wrong request,
both tests fail.

Commands:

- `pnpm vitest run server/src/services/chat-channels/run-origin.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/github-review-wait.test.ts`
- Focused run of 15 test files that import the changed modules, their
callers or the shared seed helper, including
`external-chat-wait.integration.test.ts`, `chat-github-tools.test.ts`,
`slack-authority.test.ts` and
`issue-list-review-wait-authorization.integration.test.ts`: 482 tests
passed. In `idle-completed-history.test.ts`, `afterEach` hooks (a
`TRUNCATE` of the test database) timed out at 30 s for 1 test in this
run and for 3 tests in a second run of the file, while other agents
loaded the machine. No assertion failed. The three tests of that file
that reach the changed code pass when they run alone. CI runs the full
file.
- `server/src/__tests__/chat-channels.integration.test.ts` also uses the
single check. It was not run locally (very large file). CI runs it.
- Typecheck of the changed files and of the callers of
`chatRunSourceMessageId` with a focused `tsc` program: no errors in
these files. The full server typecheck was not run locally (shared
machine). CI supplies it.
- The first CI run of this pull request failed `ci / policy`: the module
boundary check rejects an insert into the agents table outside the agent
lifecycle module, and the benchmark seeded its fixture agent that way.
The second commit seeds that agent with SQL. `pnpm
check:module-boundaries` passes locally, and the benchmark gives the
same statement counts.
- `pnpm verify` returns exit 2 (broader verification required) because
the change adds a file under `server/scripts/`. CI supplies the broad
coverage.

Before/after measurement:

```sh
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsx scripts/benchmark-review-wait-provenance.ts --baseline-ref=e2cf9a670fc5d5f5058fd0972beb71650f77c554
```

One call of `listExternalReviewWaits` (the read of one issue list
request). Embedded PostgreSQL 18.1, Node v26.4.0, `VACUUM ANALYZE` after
seeding. One company, one agent, one GitHub repository. Every wait has a
published review. Every tenth waiting run continues three earlier runs.
3 warm-up calls, then 15 pairs in alternating order. Both versions
return the same waits and the same inherited wait for each run.

| Waits | Version | Statements | SQL text bytes | Wall ms, median
(min–max) | CPU ms, median (min–max) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 20 | before | 60 | 31,084 | 14.1 (12.8–19.6) | 13.7 (8.7–39.3) |
| 20 | after | 17 | 15,847 | 12.5 (9.4–22.7) | 8.8 (4.1–87.1) |
| 250 | before | 658 | 300,611 | 63.3 (58.1–89.6) | 78.1 (64.8–103.3) |
| 250 | after | 17 | 17,171 | 20.8 (18.9–29.2) | 18.7 (14.1–27.3) |
| 1000 | before | 2,608 | 1,179,710 | 256.0 (221.0–363.2) | 303.3
(262.2–507.8) |
| 1000 | after | 17 | 21,695 | 54.9 (46.7–81.7) | 51.0 (41.6–72.2) |

Of the 658 statements before the fix at 250 waits, 650 are provenance
reads: 325 identity-context reads, 250 source-message link reads and 75
source-run reads. After the fix, 9 statements do the same reads. The
other 8 statements of the request do not change. Sizes are set with
`WAITS=20` and `WAITS=1000`. Other agents used the same machine during
the measurement, so the maximum values have noise.

- The batch statements use index scans only
(`run_identity_contexts_pkey`, `run_identity_contexts_company_run_idx`,
`chat_message_links_company_comment_idx`, `chat_conversations_pkey`,
`chat_endpoints_company_id_uq`, `heartbeat_runs_pkey`). The 9 batch
statements of a request with 250 waits take about 1 ms of server
execution in total.
- Wall time and CPU time are almost equal before the fix. This shows
that the cost is in the server process, not in the database.

Not verified:

- The effect on the hosted instance. This pull request does not deploy.
The share of the main-thread CPU that this path uses there is not known;
the profile gives the share of all statement building.

## Risks

- The provenance check is an authorization check. The risk is a batch
decision that differs from the single decision. Mitigation: both paths
run the same walk and build each read from the same definition. The
batch read is the single read inside `CROSS JOIN LATERAL`, for each
request row. The equivalence test compares both paths in every state.
- A database error (for example an invalid UUID in a legacy task
binding) rejects the whole batch. The previous `Promise.all` also
rejected the whole request. The callers of the batch pass the native
task of each run.
- The statement count of the batch follows the longest lineage of its
runs. A batch with one very long lineage sends as many statements as
that run sent before, in sequence. It does not send more.
- The batch sends its statements in sequence on one connection. Before,
the reads of N runs used up to N pool connections at the same moment.
- The single-run callers (GitHub tools, review publication, response
comments, Slack authority, the finalizer, the status committer) keep one
statement for each read. Their identity-context reads select fewer
columns.
- No migration. No new index.

DottaandPaperclip e625505ac9 fix(auth): preserve credential sign-in during server overlap (#20839)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip controls AI agent work across software updates.
> - Authenticated instances must keep human sign-in available during an
update.
> - Better Auth 1.7.16 identifies accounts by provider and account ID.
> - It creates credential accounts without the issuer required by the
previous reader.
> - A new account can therefore fail to sign in through a surviving
1.7.2 process.
> - This pull request keeps the legacy credential issuer on trusted
account creation.
> - The security upgrade and provider/account uniqueness stay in place.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18906.

**What happened?**

After the Better Auth upgrade, a credential account created by the new
version has a NULL issuer. A surviving Better Auth 1.7.2 process rejects
its correct password because it selects only the `local:credential`
account identity.

**Expected behavior**

A new credential account must sign in through both versions during an
update. The new version must keep its provider/account lookup and
uniqueness rules.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Apply migration 0465 to a disposable database.
2. Create an email/password account with the new auth mount.
3. Sign in to the same database through Better Auth 1.7.2.
4. Without this change, signup and new-version sign-in return 200, but
old-version sign-in returns 401.

## What Changed

- Register issuer as an optional internal account field with client
input and response output disabled.
- Set `local:credential` in the trusted before-create hook. Preserve any
nonempty issuer supplied by internal code.
- Leave unconfigured providers without an issuer on the new NULL-issuer
behavior. No social provider is configured by this module.
- Add credential integration and issuer-policy controls. Document the
exact compatibility scope.

## Verification

- Node 24: `node scripts/agent-preflight.mjs` passed using the existing
build cache.
- `node cli/node_modules/tsx/dist/cli.mjs
packages/db/src/test-postgres-command.ts -- node
node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run --project @paperclipai/server
server/src/__tests__/better-auth.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/better-auth-credential-signup.integration.test.ts`:
22 passed.
- Separate local qualification used the actual cached Better Auth 1.7.2
SDK and the current 1.7.16 mount against one disposable PostgreSQL
database. Before this change, old-version sign-in returned 401 for the
new account. After this change, signup through either writer and sign-in
through both readers returned 200.
- The integration covers forged client issuer input, the frozen 1.7.2
credential selector, current-version sign-in for existing NULL-issuer
rows, and the unchanged provider/account unique index.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`: passed, including all
server and test-tree layers.
- The first required Runner support run failed three SDK proof suites
because two generated lock references were stale on the current base.
The existing generator corrected those references and the three suites
passed locally (58 tests in 17.07 seconds). Master then merged the same
repair in #20834 and advanced its runtime/dependency lock. This branch
was rebased onto current master; the duplicate proof commit was omitted.
The final diff contains only the four auth/test/doc files. The
exact-head checks and review listed below passed on the rebased
candidate.
- Final candidate `577fd7612a6d80ac35e2f5ee9ea2ce9b77169687`: focused
auth verification passed again (22 tests, 51.81 seconds). [Required
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/43051216288)
passed, including build, typecheck, server/Runner tests and all eight
browser shards. One unchanged Rust process-lineage orphan-census test
failed on the first attempt; the failed job was rerun after the workflow
completed and passed. This PR changes no Rust source.
- [Greptile
review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/20839#issuecomment-6799551882)
is 5/5 on the final head with no actionable findings or open review
threads. No deployment or original database change was performed for
this branch.

## Risks

The bridge applies to new credential accounts. It does not backfill
existing NULL issuers or claim old-reader compatibility for unconfigured
social providers. Trusted internal issuers retain their exact value.
Account lookup, password checks, account linking, provider/account
uniqueness, and migration 0465 remain with their existing owners.

## Model Used

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

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.

with tool use (shell, file edits, browser for read-only staging API
reads).

DottaandClaude 889b33da72 fix(native): apply a saved accepted result on Retry instead of a new turn (#20819)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A native run on a remote sandbox can finish with an accepted result,
and then fail to save its workspace. Saved-work recovery saves the files
again from the retained sandbox, with no provider turn.
> - #20758 made a save that finds the sandbox disk full stop at once as
`sandbox_disk_full` and hand the task to the board with a Retry.
> - When the user frees space and presses Retry, the save now succeeds.
But the Retry then started a new agent turn (`strategy: continue`). That
turn repeats work that already finished and spends provider budget
again. The accepted result was not applied (`replacementDenied:
explicit_user_continuation`).
> - The decision for this case: when a durable record proves that the
run's result was already accepted, Retry applies that saved result and
starts no new turn.
> - This pull request makes Retry admission wait for the run's
saved-work holds and then applies the accepted result through the
existing preserved-result finalization.
> - The benefit is that a Retry after a failed save finishes the task
from the work that was already done, with no repeated provider work or
spend.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20758 (full-disk save rests as `sandbox_disk_full` with a Retry),
Refs #20810 (chaos fault DF1 for a full disk on the final workspace
save)

**What happened?**
A native run had an accepted, succeeded result. Its workspace save
failed because the sandbox disk was full, and the task rested at
`sandbox_disk_full` with a Retry. The user freed space and pressed
Retry. The save succeeded, and then Retry admission started a new run
with `strategy: continue`. The accepted result stayed unapplied (the
finalization coordinator stayed in `terminal_failure`).

Two paths caused this:
1. Retry admission let the Retry through as soon as the saved files were
verified. That can happen before preserved-result finalization runs: the
recovery worker dispatches the Retry right after one hold settles, while
the hold that Retry added for the same run is still scheduled. On master
this is deterministic in that order, and a race otherwise.
2. Preserved-result finalization reads the newest saved-work hold of the
run. While that hold was still scheduled, it declined, and nothing held
the Retry back.

**Expected behavior**
After the save succeeds, and a durable record proves that the run's
result was already accepted, Retry applies that result. The run and task
finish from it. No new `turn.start` and no new provider spend. If the
save fails again with a full disk, the task keeps the
`sandbox_disk_full` rest and a working Retry. If there is no proven
accepted result, Retry keeps the previous behaviour and starts one run.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Give a native run an accepted, succeeded result whose copy-back
failed (`native_workspace_sync_out_retry_exhausted`).
2. Make the saved-work recovery save fail with
`remote_workspace_sandbox_disk_full`. The hold goes to the board.
3. Free space. Press Retry. Let recovery save the files, then dispatch
the Retry before preserved-result finalization runs.
4. On master, a new run starts with `previousRunId` set to the source
run, and the accepted result is not applied.

## What Changed

- `preserved-result-finalization.ts`: the eligibility checks move into
one read (`readPreservedResult`). They are unchanged: an accepted,
succeeded result of this run, a completed saved-work recovery with a
verified receipt, no Stop, no newer run, no current execution, and no
applied generation. A new read-only
`canResumePreservedResultFinalization` uses the same read without locks.
`resumePreservedResultFinalization` keeps the finalizer's lock order
(coordinator first) and takes the issue and run rows with NOWAIT, so it
cannot deadlock with the finalizer, owner-stop confirmation or Retry
dispatch; a busy row is retried briefly, and the last attempt waits for
its locks. It also writes an activity entry,
`issue.saved_result_finalization_resumed`, when it applies a result.
- `explicit-native-continuation.ts`: Retry admission holds an accepted
Retry (`evaluate`) of a run whose saved files are verified and whose
accepted result is still held, with the wait `finalizing_saved_result`.
It holds while a saved-work hold of that run is still `scheduled`,
`running` or `awaiting_evidence` and the result is otherwise applicable
(no Stop, newer run, other owner or current execution), or once
`canResumePreservedResultFinalization` is true. In every other case
admission is unchanged.
- `heartbeat/run-control.ts` (`resumeTaskRetry`): after dispatch, if
admission held the Retry with `finalizing_saved_result`, it calls
`resumePreservedResultFinalization`. That coalesces the Retry into the
source run with `strategy: finalize_result` and re-arms finalization.
This is one key read after admission; the resumption runs only for a
held Retry. The recovery worker already calls the same function after
each saved hold, so either path finishes the work.
- Tests: `workspace-recovery-disk-full.test.ts` now proves the new Retry
behaviour (red on master), a dispatch that lands while another hold of
the run is still saving (red on master), a Retry while the disk is still
full, and three negative cases that keep one new run.
`workspace-recovery-preparation-gates.test.ts` (s12 and RC-50b) and
`explicit-native-continuation.test.ts` (copy-back + `task_retry`)
encoded the old "new run" result for the same situation. They now expect
the saved result to be applied. A fixture helper `recoverRunHolds` runs
the recovery steps for every hold of a run, as the worker does.
- `ui/src/components/WorkspaceExportRecovery.tsx`: at the
`sandbox_disk_full` rest, the retained-file panel no longer shows its
own "Recover saved files" button and no longer hides the task's Retry.
Before, the API said `canRetry: true` and the note said "Retry saves the
files again", but the board showed only "Recover saved files" (seen in
the DF1 chaos wave). The panel now says to free space and use Retry. A
new UI test covers it. `pnpm check:token-gates` is clean.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: documents the Retry behaviour and its
conditions.

## Verification

Red/green (`cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/workspace-recovery-disk-full.test.ts`):

- On master source with the new tests: 3 failed, 3 passed (the 3
negative cases pass on master, as they should). Each failure shows a
second heartbeat run (the new agent turn): `expected [ …(2) ] to deeply
equal [ Array(1) ]`.
- On this branch: 7 passed. A fourth negative case (an operator Stop
while a hold is still settling keeps one new run) was added after
review; it also passes on master.
- Guard removal 1: with the `canResumePreservedResultFinalization` check
replaced by `true`, the negative test "an operator Stop recorded on the
run" fails (`expected [] to have a length of 1 but got +0`: the Retry
waits forever instead of starting its one run).
- Guard removal 2: with the "hold still saving" check removed, the test
"holds a Retry dispatched while another saved-work hold of the run is
still settling" fails (a second run starts).

Related suites pass on this branch: `workspace-recovery-disk-full`,
`workspace-recovery-preparation-gates`, `workspace-recovery-admission`,
`native-exhausted-finalization-retry`, `explicit-native-continuation`
(641 tests).

On the first revision, `task-retry`,
`workspace-recovery-retry-copyback`, `workspace-recovery-warm-handoff`,
`preserved-native-response-wait.integration`, `deferred-execution-wait`
and `deferred-execution-receipt-work` passed (317 tests). Other retry
and recovery suites were not run locally; required CI `general_tests`
covers them. After the review fixes, the five related suites above
passed again (642 tests).

`npx tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json` is clean.

`pnpm verify --explain` selects a broad plan (exit 2) because
`doc/execution-semantics.md` is a global CI input. Required CI supplies
that coverage.

## Risks

- Behaviour change: an accepted Retry of a terminal run with an
accepted, succeeded result and verified saved files now applies that
result and starts no run. Before, it started one new run. This is the
intended change. It also covers the s12 and RC-50b recovery-handoff
cases, which used to start a new run.
- A held Retry waits while any saved-work hold of the run is still
saving. The recovery worker drives those holds to `complete` or
`exhausted`. When a hold ends `exhausted` or the records do not prove
the result, the wait ends and the Retry starts one run, as before. A
hold that stays in `awaiting_evidence` keeps the Retry waiting with
"Paperclip is finishing the saved result."
- Upgrade-safe: no persisted shape changes. The checks read existing
records (`native_run_results`, `native_run_finalizations`, the recovery
action evidence, workspace receipts). A record written by an older
server that lacks any required fact keeps the old behaviour. An older
server that reads the new state sees a coalesced Retry and a re-armed
finalization, which it already handles.
- No new work before `turn.start` on the normal path. Admission adds the
eligibility read only when it has already proven an accepted result and
verified saved files for a Retry of that run. `resumeTaskRetry` adds one
key read after admission.
- Lock order: `resumePreservedResultFinalization` keeps the finalizer's
order (coordinator, then issue, then run). Because it can now run beside
Retry dispatch (which locks the issue first), it takes the issue and run
rows with NOWAIT. A busy row ends the attempt, and it retries up to 9
times at 100 ms. The 10th attempt waits for its locks, as this
resumption always did, so a recovered result is never left unapplied.

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 Fable 5.2 39442400b7 fix(native): let a saved governed wait settle on its own same-run resume (#20838)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs can save a governed wait (a question or confirmation for
a person) and park the provider turn
> - If shutdown of the retained execution cannot be confirmed in time,

`native_governed_wait_settlement_pending`, and schedules a same-run
resume that settles the saved wait (#20336, #20494, #20519)
> - That failure writes an active recovery action for the run. Its cause
is in `EXECUTION_RECONCILIATION_CAUSES`, and its wake policy resumes
that same run
> - When the run is a resolved-interaction continuation, its dispatch
gate checks execution blockers. The gate read the run's own resume
action as a hold and cancelled the resume with
`execution_reconciliation_required`
> - The task then stayed blocked with no Retry and no continue control,
and the saved question could not wake the agent
> - This pull request makes the gate skip only the run's own
scheduled-resume action
> - The benefit is that a saved governed wait settles by itself, with no
person involved

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20494, #20519, #20809

**What happened?**
A staging Codex run on a remote sandbox was a continuation after an
answered question. The agent saved a second governed wait (a
confirmation). Shutdown confirmation of the retained execution was still
pending, so the run recorded `native_governed_wait_settlement_pending`
and scheduled its exact-checkpoint resume. The resume reattached to the
remote runner and started. 32 s later it ended `cancelled` with
`execution_reconciliation_required`. No person cancelled it. The
lifecycle event of the cancel carried the run's own recovery action id.
The task showed `blocked` with `canRetry: false` and `canContinue:
false`, and no later run started.

**Expected behavior**
The same-run resume settles the saved governed wait. The task waits for
the person's answer. No run is cancelled and no recovery action needs a
person.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. A native run starts as a resolved-interaction continuation (context
`mutation: interaction`, `interactionStatus: answered`).
2. The run saves a governed wait, and shutdown confirmation does not
arrive in time (`native_governed_wait_settlement_pending`).
3. The coordinator schedules the same-run resume. At dispatch,
`decideCurrentRunStaleness` calls `getExecutionBlocker`, which returns
the run's own active action, and `cancelStaleRunInTx` cancels the run.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/execution-blocker.ts`: `getExecutionBlocker`
takes `resumingNativeRunId`. For that run it skips only the active
action whose wake policy is `resume_native_run` for the same run and
whose evidence names that run. Workspace-restore holds and all other
actions still block.
- `server/src/modules/run-dispatch/adapters/postgres.ts`: the dispatch
staleness decision passes the native run id.
- `server/src/modules/run-dispatch/adapters/postgres.test.ts`: the
failing case and two controls (an action for another run, an action
without a resume policy still cancel).
- `tests/restart-chaos`: new opt-in workload Q4 (a second saved question
asked by the first answer's continuation run). Provider-fault rules take
`occurrence`; Q4 rules use 2, so PV1/PV2 hit the second governed wait.
Codex shim and ACPX tap both honor it. README documents Q4.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: states that the run's own scheduled
resume is not a hold against it.

## Verification

- Red on master: `postgres.test.ts -t "saved governed wait"` fails with
`{ dispatched: false, status: "cancelled", errorCode:
"execution_reconciliation_required" }` (the staging error code).
- Green: the same test passes; the two controls still cancel.
- Focused: `postgres.test.ts`, `explicit-native-continuation.test.ts`,
`native-preclaim-continuation.test.ts`,
`workspace-recovery-preparation-gates.test.ts`; server typecheck.
- Harness: `question-handoff.test.ts`, `provider-faults.test.ts`,
`acpx-provider-faults.test.ts`, `journeys.test.ts`; harness typecheck.
- Chaos: `--adapters codex --workloads Q4 --faults PV2 --tasks 1 --seed
111` on master and on this branch (results in a comment below).

## Risks

- Low. The exemption is exact: same run id in the wake policy and the
evidence, status `active`, only for a native run being dispatched. A
recovery action that names another run, has no resume policy, or is
resolved keeps its current effect.
- Saved state from older versions: actions already written have the same
shape, so a resume that is still scheduled settles after deploy.

DottaandClaude Fable 5.2 1d52436bf8 fix(config): detect the tailnet bind host only when the bind reads it, one time per process (#20843)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server reads its configuration through `loadConfig()` in
`server/src/config.ts`. Runtime code calls it often:
`getStorageService()` calls it on each use, and the native runtime calls
it for backup storage, response delivery and attachment reuse
> - `loadConfig()` called `detectTailnetBindHost()` on each call. That
function runs `tailscale ip -4` with `execFileSync`, which is a
synchronous child process. The event loop stops until the child process
ends
> - A CPU profile of a busy hosted server showed this cost on the main
thread, on a server that does not bind to a tailnet
> - The tailnet address is an input only to the bind host, and only the
listener that the server binds at startup uses the bind host. Most bind
configurations never read the address
> - This pull request makes `loadConfig()` detect the address only when
the bind configuration reads it, and keeps the result for the life of
the process
> - The benefit is that a `loadConfig()` call no longer starts a child
process on runtime paths, so the event loop stays free for requests

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists. I searched open and closed pull requests for
`tailscale loadConfig` and `detectTailnetBindHost` and found no related
work.

**What happened?**
Each `loadConfig()` call started `tailscale ip -4` as a synchronous
child process. A 30 second CPU profile of the main thread of a hosted
server (commit 556b249897, Node 24, main thread at 96% of one core)
showed `detectTailnetBindHost` ← `loadConfig` at 3.1% inclusive and the
native child-process spawn at 3.6% self. The callers in the profile were
`getStorageService`, `durableNativeHarnessStorage`,
`restoreDurableHarnessForExecution` and
`createRunnerdBackendWithinSessionClaim`. The server process was about
4.4 GB resident, which makes each spawn more expensive. The cost is the
same when the `tailscale` command is not installed, because the spawn
still runs.

**Expected behavior**
`loadConfig()` starts `tailscale` only when the bind configuration reads
a tailnet address: `server.bind=tailnet`, or a host without a bind mode
that is not loopback and not all interfaces. It starts it at most one
time per process. A change to `PAPERCLIP_TAILNET_BIND_HOST`, to another
environment variable or to the config file is still visible to the next
`loadConfig()` call.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsx
scripts/benchmark-config-load.ts --calls=200` on the parent commit. The
benchmark puts a counting `tailscale` stand-in first on `PATH`, so it
does not need Tailscale.
2. Read the `tailscale execs` column. Each scenario shows 200 execs for
200 calls.

**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at e2cf9a670f. The profile is from 556b249897.

**Deployment mode**
All modes. The profile is from an `authenticated` hosted server. The
benchmark covers `bind=lan`, the default loopback bind and
`bind=tailnet`.

**Node.js version**
Profile: Node 24. Local benchmark: Node 26.4.0 on darwin arm64.

## What Changed

- `server/src/config.ts`: `loadConfig()` calls `detectTailnetBindHost()`
only when the bind configuration reads the address. With a configured
bind mode, that is `tailnet` only. Without one, it is a host that
`inferBindModeFromHost` cannot resolve to loopback or all interfaces
without the address.
- `server/src/config.ts`: the result of `tailscale ip -4` is kept for
the life of the process, also when the command fails.
`PAPERCLIP_TAILNET_BIND_HOST` is not kept: each call reads it first, as
before.
- `server/src/__tests__/config-tailnet-bind-detection.test.ts` (new):
regression tests that count `tailscale` starts.
- `server/scripts/benchmark-config-load.ts` (new): the reproduction and
benchmark.
- `doc/DEVELOPING.md`: removed the advice to set
`PAPERCLIP_TAILNET_BIND_HOST` for local fixtures to prevent repeated
discovery. The server no longer repeats discovery.
- `cli/src/config/server-bind.ts` has its own copy of the detection. It
is not changed: it detects only for `bind=tailnet` and runs in short CLI
commands, not on a server runtime path.

## Verification

Regression test, red then green:

- `cd server && pnpm exec vitest run
src/__tests__/config-tailnet-bind-detection.test.ts`
- Parent commit: 11 of 11 tests fail. Examples: `expected 1 to be +0`
for `bind=lan` (the command ran when it must not), `expected 3 to be 1`
for `bind=tailnet` (the command ran on each call).
- This branch: 11 of 11 tests pass.
- The tests assert the number of `tailscale` starts and the resolved
bind host. They do not assert time. They cover `bind=loopback`, `lan`,
`custom`, loopback and all-interfaces hosts without a bind mode,
repeated `getStorageService()`, `bind=tailnet`, bind inference from a
host, `PAPERCLIP_TAILNET_BIND_HOST` (used without the command, each
change visible), a bind mode change in the environment and in the config
file, and the unchanged refusal when no tailnet address exists.

Benchmark, same machine, 200 calls per scenario, 3 runs each (ranges
shown):

| Scenario | Before: `tailscale` execs | Before: ms per call | After:
`tailscale` execs | After: ms per call |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `loadConfig()`, `bind=lan` | 200 | 4.5 to 6.0 | 0 | 0.063 to 0.069 |
| `getStorageService()`, `bind=lan` | 200 | 4.0 to 4.5 | 0 | 0.043 to
0.060 |
| `loadConfig()`, default loopback | 200 | 4.0 to 4.5 | 0 | 0.046 to
0.053 |
| `loadConfig()`, `bind=tailnet` | 200 | 3.8 to 5.1 | 1 | 0.74 to 0.92 |

- Command: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsx
scripts/benchmark-config-load.ts --calls=200`
- Each call is synchronous, so the time per call is time that the event
loop is blocked. For 200 calls the block went from about 750 to 1200 ms
to about 9 to 14 ms where the bind does not read a tailnet address.
- The `bind=tailnet` row after the fix contains the one detection (about
150 ms for the first start of the new stand-in file on macOS). The other
199 calls start no process.
- `loadConfig()` also reads and validates the config file on each call.
After the fix a full call costs about 0.05 ms locally, so the file read
is not a material cost and this pull request does not change it. A
hosted server reads a stored snapshot from memory, not a file.

Other checks:

- `cd server && pnpm exec vitest run
src/__tests__/managed-runtime-public-url.test.ts
src/__tests__/native-harness-backup-expiration-config.test.ts
src/__tests__/chat-webhook-public-url.test.ts
src/__tests__/managed-cloud-prerequisites.test.ts
src/__tests__/managed-loopback-auth.test.ts
src/__tests__/cloud-runtime-config.test.ts`: 84 tests pass.
- `tsc --noEmit` over the three changed TypeScript files: clean.
- `pnpm verify` exits 2 (broader verification required, because of the
new file in `server/scripts`). Required CI supplies that coverage.
- Not verified: the benchmark on Linux with a multi-gigabyte process,
and the hosted server after deploy. The local numbers come from a 200 MB
process, where a spawn is cheaper than on the profiled server.

## Risks

- Low risk. The resolved `bind`, `host` and `customBindHost` are the
same as before for each configuration. A configured bind mode other than
`tailnet` never used the detected address, and a loopback or
all-interfaces host resolved before the address was read.
- Behavior shift: a server process detects the Tailscale address one
time. If Tailscale starts, stops or changes its address later,
`loadConfig()` in that process still returns the first result until
restart. The server binds its listener one time at startup, so the
listener already had this property. From the code (not reproduced):
before this change, a `bind=tailnet` server whose Tailscale stopped
after startup threw from each later `loadConfig()` call on runtime
paths. It now continues with the address from startup.
- A failed detection is also kept. With `bind=tailnet` the server
refuses to start, as before, and the next start detects again.
`PAPERCLIP_TAILNET_BIND_HOST` overrides a kept result at once.

DottaandClaude 3914d0c94a test(chaos): add DF1, a sandbox disk-full fault on the final workspace save (#20810)
## 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 Daytona waves (Codex, `--storage s3`, image content `96c4339f…`,
run through the two-slot queue):
- `w-20261111T131314-s9411` (B1): the hook was armed in the server but
no save reached it. B1 uses a local worktree synced into the sandbox,
not a remote workspace. Graded `not_applied` as designed. The harness
now requires `--storage s3` and the docs point at R1.
- `w-20261111T131941-s9412` (R1): 3 faulted saves. t01 rested `blocked`
with `sandbox_disk_full`, `user_action_required`, board owner, API
`canRetry: true`. t02 was cleared too early, while recovery still
checked its source; that recovery then saved and the task finished.
Fixed in 626f552e (wait for the disk-full verdict).
- `w-20261111T134316-s9413` (R1, after the fix): 2/2 tasks rested with
`sandbox_disk_full` and API `canRetry: true`. In both, the board showed
**"Recover saved files"** and no Retry button, so the UI Retry click
failed (`ui_retry_button_missing`). Retry-worked is not shown. The wave
was interrupted by SIGTERM during the post-rest file reads, before final
grading.
- Local wave: not run. A local run has no sandbox workspace save, so DF1
cannot fire there; the harness refuses `--env local`.

## 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 --storage s3` and a remote workspace
(R1). A local run has no sandbox workspace save, so the harness refuses
DF1 there. DF1 is refused in `--matrix` waves, and T1's restart check is
skipped for DF1.

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.

tool use (shell, file edits, browser).

DottaandClaude Fable 5.2 a4b872477e fix(chat): do not wake the assignee for a decision its own run recorded (#20842)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A task can be bound to a chat conversation (Slack, Telegram).
Confirmation cards are published there
> - The assignee's running turn can record the user's chat reply as the
decision on a card (resolve-from-comment). That run already owns the
decision, and the in-app route does not wake the agent again
> - The chat continuation worker (`interaction_wakeup`) still woke the
assignee for that decision
> - The wake waited behind the running turn. When it was promoted, the
reply was already delivered, so its context kept `source:
chat:<provider>` but no chat message
> - Reviewed-chat attestation then refused the run
(`reviewed_chat_execution_binding_not_authorized`, `context_mismatch`).
The refusal is correct; the wake should not exist
> - This pull request makes the worker settle that action without a wake
> - The benefit is no failed setup run on the task, and no change to any
permission check

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20809

**What happened?**
On staging, an automation-triggered run failed in about 5 s with
`setup_failed` and error
`reviewed_chat_execution_binding_not_authorized` (denial reason
`context_mismatch`). The task was bound to a Slack thread and was
`in_review`. The assignee's previous run had recorded the user's Slack
reply as acceptance of a plan confirmation and kept working. The chat
continuation worker then queued a second wake for the same decision.
That wake carried no undelivered chat message, so attestation found zero
admitted comment ids.

**Expected behavior**
No second wake. The responding run already acts on the decision, as in
the in-app path.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Bind a task to a Slack conversation and publish a
`request_confirmation` card with `continuationPolicy: wake_assignee`.
2. While the assignee's run is active, the user replies in Slack. The
run calls `POST
/api/issues/:id/interactions/:interactionId/resolve-from-comment`.
3. The worker processes the `interaction_wakeup` chat action and wakes
the assignee. The wake is deferred behind the active run and loses the
delivered reply. With the task `in_review`, the next run fails
attestation.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/chat-channels/interactions/continuations.ts`:
when the current interaction was resolved by the assignee's own run from
a comment (`resolvedByAgentId` is the assignee, `resolvedByRunId` is
set, no `resolvedByUserId`, and `result.commentId` is set; only
resolve-from-comment writes that), the worker marks the action
`processed` with `interaction_wakeup_owned_by_responding_run` and
creates no wake. Actions saved before the deploy take the same path.
- `server/src/__tests__/chat-interaction-publications.test.ts`: real
resolve-from-comment flow (no wake) and the board-accept control (one
wake).
- Reviewed-chat attestation and every authorization check are unchanged.

## Verification

- Red on master: the new test fails, `wakeup` called 1 time.
- Green: `server/src/__tests__/chat-interaction-publications.test.ts`
32/32 pass.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` passes.

## Risks

- Low. Only a self-resolved, comment-recorded decision skips the wake. A
user decision through a chat button or the board still wakes the
assignee.
- Not covered here: a user decision made through a chat button while
another run of the task is active can still be deferred and lose its
chat comment id. That is a separate case and is not changed by this PR.

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 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

DottaandPaperclip 5f38226290 fix(build): report compiler signals in server typecheck layers (#20603)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Its development checks help contributors verify changes.
> - The server typecheck runs the compiler once for each source layer.
> - A compiler child can stop on a signal before it reports type errors.
> - The wrapper returned failure without the signal or the affected
layer.
> - This pull request reports the signal, layer, command, and working
directory.
> - Contributors can identify an interrupted check from its output.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The server typecheck returned exit 1 after a layer banner when a
compiler child stopped on a signal. The wrapper did not report that
signal. Related layer work: #18737, #18738, and #18739. A search of open
and closed PRs found no duplicate signal-reporting fix.

**Expected behavior**

Report the actual termination signal and affected layer. Keep compiler
output visible and return failure. Do not infer a memory failure from
SIGKILL alone.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run a controlled compiler child that sends SIGTERM or SIGKILL to itself.
Run it through typecheckLayers and the real runTsc subprocess path. The
added tests do this without memory pressure or timed waits.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on 7368a0b15c.

**Deployment mode**

Source checkout on Linux with Node v25.9.0.

## What Changed

- Print a stderr diagnostic before the existing early return for a
compiler signal.
- Include the layer, signal, compiler command, and working directory.
- Add real subprocess regressions for SIGTERM in below and SIGKILL in
cycle.
- Check that child stdout and stderr remain visible and later layers
stop.
- Document the diagnostic and the limit of what a signal proves.

## Verification

- Red: the two new subprocess tests failed because stderr omitted the
signal and layer.
- Green: `cd server && pnpm exec vitest run
scripts/typecheck-layers.test.mjs` passed all 47 tests. This includes
real compiler success, declaration output, and compiler error
diagnostics.
- `git diff --check` passed.
- `pnpm verify` returned exit 2. The wrapper is a broad input, so CI
must supply broader coverage.
- Preflight installed dependencies and built shared/plugin-sdk. It could
not build Rust outputs because cargo is absent. Rust builds are outside
the focused local test scope.
- Final head: `fdd68d7e13751573c661e80a285be86f1a1420bc`.
- [CI
passed](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42867062133).
Typecheck, build, test suites, and all eight E2E shards passed.
- [Greptile gave
5/5](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/20603#issuecomment-6774642345)
for this head. No actionable findings or open review threads remain.

## Risks

- Low risk. Only the existing signal branch gains a diagnostic. Failure
propagation and compiler output handling stay the same.
- The controlled signal tests require POSIX signal behavior. Local
verification used Linux.

## Model Used

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

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.

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

DottaandPaperclip aaf1337c7b fix(slack): require mentions only for channel roots (#20821)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents for work.
> - Slack connects people to those agents through channels and threads.
> - A mention can start a conversation without making the bot answer all
channel traffic.
> - The current setting also requires mentions on every thread reply.
> - This interrupts an existing conversation and can cancel a queued
reply.
> - This change requires mentions on channel roots and allows replies
without a mention.
> - People can continue a thread without adding the bot name to each
message.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The Slack connection setting that requires an at-mention.

**Current behavior**
When the setting is on, a channel thread reply must mention the bot. The
delivery and execution checks reject a reply that has no mention.

**Proposed behavior**
Require a mention on a top-level channel message. Allow replies in
existing threads without a mention. Keep the current DM access controls.

**Reason and benefit**
A person can continue an existing conversation without repeating the bot
name.

**Breaking changes**
Existing connections with the setting on will accept thread replies
without a mention. The saved setting, default value, and API field stay
the same.

## What Changed

- Rename the control to **Require at-mention in channels**. Explain the
thread and DM rules in the help text and operator documentation.
- Keep the mention policy in the Slack module. Use the thread root and
message IDs to identify a reply.
- Call that policy from durable admission, wake authorization, and
queued run start. These shared paths must enforce the same setting when
a delivery resumes. Other providers keep their current behavior.
- Update PostgreSQL integration tests for thread replies, DMs, queued
deliveries, and combined wake inputs. Add tests that reject incomplete
reply identity.

## Verification

- Reproduced rejected thread replies and cancelled queued reply runs
before the fix.
- Passed 16 focused PostgreSQL integration cases after the fix.
- Passed 71 tests on revision `31b1adede2b92bad24b8fa21b8f6fffa9bd26d04`
after the rebase. This includes the full durable wakeup suite, Slack
policy tests, and eight selected Slack delivery cases.
- Command: `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/services/chat-channels/slack/wake-authority.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/durable-chat-wakeup.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/chat-channels.integration.test.ts -t "at-mentions
by default|thread replies without mentions|rechecks queued
Slack|preserves running Slack tool authority|Slack channel mention
policy|durable inbound chat scheduler receipts"`.
- Strengthened the queued-root test to check the mention-rejection
reason and content redaction. A temporary change that disabled mention
enforcement caused this test to fail with the unrelated-message reason.
The real policy is restored.
- Removed the added source comments to follow the contribution rules.
- `node scripts/check-module-boundaries.mjs` and `git diff --check`
pass.
- `pnpm verify` returns exit 2 because the operator documentation is a
global CI input. Required CI must supply the wider coverage.
- Local preflight installed dependencies and built the plugin SDK. It
could not build Runner Rust binaries because this environment has no
`cargo` executable. The focused server tests run without those binaries.
- Live Slack and browser tests were not run. This change uses the
existing provider message and thread identities.

- Required CI passed on `31b1adede2b92bad24b8fa21b8f6fffa9bd26d04`: [PR
workflow](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/43035551294),
including typecheck, build, server/chat tests, Runner checks, and
browser E2E. Current-head Greptile and Paperclip reviews are both 5/5
with no open findings.

## Risks

- Existing connections with mention gating on will now accept
unmentioned thread replies. This is the intended behavior change.
- A missing or invalid thread or message ID does not grant the reply
exception.
- No schema migration is required. Destination, sender, and company
access checks stay in place.
- The existing chat integration test file is large. This change updates
its current Slack cases to reuse the full delivery and authorization
fixture.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning and code execution tools.

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.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 6dd8611a2f fix(queue): keep tool action outcomes out of the steering queue (#20582)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents ask a person to approve a governed tool action (for example,
create a Notebook page) before the tool runs
> - Approve means run: the tool runs as soon as the person approves it,
and the approval card then shows Executed, Failed or Declined
> - After the tool runs, the server wakes the agent with the recorded
result. When another turn is active, that wake waits behind it
> - The composer queue lists waiting interaction receipts as messages.
The result wake carries the approval's interaction id and status, so the
queue shows "Accepted: Approve tool action" with an Interrupt control,
after the tool already ran
> - People read this row as an approval that is still not done, and
Interrupt stops their current turn only to deliver a tool result
> - This pull request keeps tool action outcome wakes out of the
composer queue and out of its steer, interrupt and discard actions
> - The benefit is a steering pane that shows only messages the person
can act on, while the agent still receives the tool result after the
current turn

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
After a person approves a governed tool action, the tool runs and its
card shows Succeeded. When the person then sends a new message, the
composer queue shows a row "Accepted: Approve tool action" with
Interrupt and Discard controls. The row stays until the active turn
ends.

**What did you expect?**
The steering pane does not show the tool result as a queued message. The
approval card already shows the outcome. The agent receives the result
after the current turn.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Let an agent request approval for a governed tool action
(`request_confirmation` with `payload.toolAction`).
2. Approve it. The tool runs and the card shows Succeeded.
3. Send a new message so a new turn starts before the result wake runs.
4. See "Accepted: Approve tool action" in the composer queue.

## What Changed

- Add `isToolActionOutcomeReceipt` in
`server/src/services/queued-interaction-response.ts`. It identifies an
interaction receipt wake that carries a tool action (`toolAction`
identity or `toolActionRequestIds`).
- `findQueuedCommentWake` in `server/src/routes/issues.ts` skips these
wakes, so `GET /issues/:id/queued-comments` does not list them. The
payload projection adds only the tool action's `actionRequestId`,
`toolName` and `toolActionRequestIds`, never its result text.
- The locked by-id queue lookup (steer, interrupt, discard) rejects
these wakes with `queued_comment_not_pending`, so a stale client cannot
interrupt a turn for a tool result.
- Delivery, stranded-queue recovery and the handback hold
(`readQueuedInteractionResponse`, `hasQueuedInteractionResponse`) do not
change. The agent still receives the result.
- Add route tests for accepted and declined tool action outcomes. They
check that the queue is empty, the wake stays
`deferred_issue_execution`, and the issue still has owed interaction
input.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/issue-queued-comments-routes.test.ts
src/services/issue-queued-comment-queue.test.ts`: 137 of 137 tests pass.
The new tests fail without the fix (the queue lists the receipt).
- On a heavily loaded machine (load average about 25), the embedded
Postgres `afterAll` teardown timed out once at 30 s after all tests
passed. This is not related to the change.
- `cd server && npx tsc --noEmit -p .`: clean.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change only filters the user-facing queue view and its
by-id actions.
- A tool action outcome wake no longer appears as an Interrupt target.
Before, Interrupt could deliver a tool result into a new turn early. Now
the result arrives when the current turn ends, as for other system
deliveries.
- #13160 refactors the same steering path. One of the two PRs may need a
small rebase.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 4c04c20c9e fix(recovery): wake a parent whose refused completion waited on dependencies that later clear (#20803)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A parent task that waits on blocker tasks resumes through the
`issue_blockers_resolved` wake
> - A periodic dependency sweep sends that wake when a blocked task's
dependencies become ready and no wake covers the current blocked cycle
> - The sweep skips a task that its own agent blocked, because that
agent waits on something outside the blocker graph
> - A native completion that Paperclip refuses for unresolved
dependencies is also recorded as a block by the agent's own run
(`durable_dependency_blocker_bound`). The sweep treated it as a
self-block. It woke the task only if a blocker later completed or
finalized on its workspace
> - When readiness cleared another way, nothing woke the task. It stayed
`blocked` with no next action
> - This pull request makes the sweep treat that refusal as a dependency
wait, and count a "Recover saved files" finalize without a workspace as
the blocker settling
> - The benefit is that a blocked task is not a silent dead end: it
resumes once, automatically, when its dependencies clear

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20728

**What happened?**
A parent task had three done child tasks that block it. One child was
still listed as "saving its files", because a "Recover saved files"
finalize had no workspace. The parent's agent tried to finish. Paperclip
refused the completion because dependencies were unresolved and set the
parent `blocked` (`durable_dependency_blocker_bound`). After #20728 was
deployed, the parent's dependencies were ready. But the task stayed
`blocked` with no wake, no Retry, and no next action. A person had to
post a comment to wake it.

**Expected behavior**
When the last blocker of a blocked task clears, by status or by finalize
settlement, Paperclip wakes the assignee once. This also applies to
tasks already blocked before a deploy that changes readiness.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Block a task on a done blocker whose workspace finalize is still
pending.
2. Let the assignee agent's native run report the task done. Paperclip
sets the task `blocked` with `durable_dependency_blocker_bound`.
3. Make the blocker settle without a later blocker completion or a
finalize on its workspace (for example, a recovery finalize with no
workspace, or a deploy that changes the readiness rule).
4. Run the dependency sweep. Before this fix it reports
`selfBlockedSkipped: 1` and sends no wake.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/recovery/service.ts`
(`wasBlockedByAssigneeAgent`): a native block with reason
`durable_dependency_blocker_bound` is not a self-block. The dependency
owns its wake. Other native blocks and agent blocks keep the self-block
rule.
- The same function counts a later succeeded `workspace_finalize` with
`owningService: workspace_recovery` and no workspace as the blocker
settling, which matches the readiness rule from #20728.
- `server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-issue-liveness-escalation.test.ts`:
regression tests for the refused-completion shape (one wake, no second
wake), the recovery finalize without a workspace, and a safety case for
a different native block reason.
- `server/src/services/workspace-recovery-dependency-finalize.test.ts`:
a characterization test that a real "Recover saved files" signals the
dependency sweep for the company. This path already existed; the test
keeps it.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: documents when the dependency sweep
wakes after the last blocker clears.

## Verification

- Red (unfixed `service.ts`): `npx vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-issue-liveness-escalation.test.ts -t "refused
for unresolved|still holds a native block|recovery finalize without a
workspace"` fails 2 of 3 tests with `selfBlockedSkipped` 1 instead of 0.
- Green (fixed):
`src/__tests__/heartbeat-issue-liveness-escalation.test.ts` passes 44 of
44.
- Related suites pass:
`src/__tests__/issue-dependency-wakeups-routes.test.ts`,
`src/__tests__/heartbeat-dependency-scheduling.test.ts`,
`src/services/workspace-recovery-dependency-finalize.test.ts`,
`src/__tests__/issue-recovery-dependencies.test.ts` (43 tests). Server
`tsc --noEmit` passes.
- `pnpm verify` exits 2 because a doc change is a global CI input.
Required CI supplies broad coverage.
- Staging evidence (read only): the affected parent's activity shows
`native-status-committer` set it `blocked` with
`durable_dependency_blocker_bound`, and no later blocker completion or
finalize.

## Risks

- Previous-release story: no persisted shape changes. Tasks already
`blocked` with `durable_dependency_blocker_bound` and ready dependencies
are picked up by the existing dependency sweep after deploy (it visits
every blocked task at startup and on recovery signals). No migration.
- Bounded: the wake uses the cycle-aware ready-state key, so one blocked
cycle gets one wake. The sweep keeps its live-run, queued-wake,
pending-interaction, and pause-hold checks.
- No loop: if the woken agent blocks the task again while its
dependencies are ready, the reason is not
`durable_dependency_blocker_bound`, so the self-block rule applies.
- The recovery finalize rule only applies to a finalize on the blocker
task itself with `owningService: workspace_recovery` and no workspace.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, used through Claude
Code with tool use (shell, code search, test execution, read-only

DottaandPaperclip 556b249897 fix: preserve exact Markdown in native document writes (#20605)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents save Markdown documents through native tools and REST routes.
> - The native write_document handler trims the supplied body.
> - This removes final newlines and can change Markdown whitespace.
> - This pull request preserves the original body after required-content
validation.
> - Agents can now write and read the same Markdown string across these
paths.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The native write_document tool removes leading and trailing whitespace.
A body with one final newline loses that newline on read-back. The REST
document PUT and write_task_document preserve it.

**Expected behavior**

The native write_document tool must preserve the supplied Markdown body
exactly. Required-content checks and key and title normalization must
stay in place. REST-backed paths retain surrounding whitespace and keep
their existing escaped-line-break conversion for single-line payloads.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Write a disposable document through write_document with a final
newline.
2. Read the document and compare the full body with the supplied string.
3. Repeat through write_task_document and REST. These paths preserve the
string.

Related work: Refs #18824. That change aligns document keys. This change
preserves body strings. A search of open and closed PRs found no
duplicate fix.

## What Changed

- Use a separate untrimmed required-string helper for the document body.
Keep the existing requiredString callback signature and all other field
normalization.
- Add real tool-handler, database, and authenticated HTTP tests for
create, update, read-back, and replay. Cover leading spaces, hard
breaks, blank lines, final newlines, no final newline, Unicode, and
mixed line endings.
- Keep blank and invalid bodies rejected. Document whitespace
preservation and the existing REST escaped-line-break exception.
- Fix the Runner support archive-scanner shutdown defect exposed by CI:
rejected ZIP scanners now receive SIGKILL so an ignored SIGTERM cannot
leave publication waiting for process closure. Keep all secret and
archive limits unchanged. A real child-process regression fails before
the change and passes afterward.
- Address all three initial review findings: callback type
compatibility, contribution comment policy, and the REST documentation
limit.

## Verification

Final tested head: `c9ff8cf3f83aa19e5d8313c65816a3a2e6562368`.

- All applicable [CI
checks](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/43019885807)
passed. This includes typecheck, build, Runner support, Rust, native
Runner, general tests, serialized suites, all eight E2E shards, and the
required aggregate gates.
- [Greptile
review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/runs/130520170309)
passed on this head with confidence 5/5. All three review threads are
resolved. The independent Paperclip review also reports 5/5 with no
findings.
- Red at `7368a0b15c2f02107778a961144d86e2eb59a952`: `pnpm --dir server
exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/task-document-body.integration.test.ts`
failed because write_document removed the final newline. Cross-task and
REST cases passed.
- Green on the final source: 176 tests passed across the document body,
document key, native tool authority, task scope, document service, and
document route suites. The tests cover create, update, exact read-back,
replay, blank rejection, revision guards, and company scope.
- The ZIP shutdown regression failed before repair with “scanner did not
stop”. After repair, 54 tests passed across zip-inspection-shutdown,
private-reporter-artifacts, manual-private-cell-report-assets, and
private-evidence-budget. The regression uses a real process that ignores
SIGTERM.
- Earlier CI runs had two archive-related timeouts. The source repair
above replaces blind reruns. The Runner support suite and aggregate
verify gate now pass.
- A disposable live native document reproduced the original whitespace
loss. REST preserved the same string. The fixed handler passed local
integration tests. The running service has not been deployed.
- Local environment: Linux x64, Node 25.9.0, Vitest 5.0.3, and embedded
PostgreSQL. Local Rust preparation was unavailable because cargo is
absent. Final-head CI passed Rust verification. `pnpm verify --explain`
requested broad CI because evidence.ts is a global input. Required CI
supplied that coverage.

## Risks

Low risk. The change retains required-content validation. The product
change affects document body whitespace handling. The CI repair
forcefully stops only already-rejected archive scanners; it retains
fail-closed publication and all existing scan limits. It does not change
schema, authorization, revision guards, receipts, or persistence.

## Model Used

CI repair continuation: GPT-6.1, using repository tools and code
execution.


OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 (the exact serving model ID and context window were
not exposed in this session). Used reasoning, repository tools, and code
execution.

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.

DottaandPaperclip bc453342ef fix(native): start a cold server from active database checkpoints (#20792)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native runs save their controller state in complete encrypted
database checkpoints.
> - A rolling update starts a replacement with an empty local home while
the old server still owns active remote work.
> - Startup required a local controller marker before it checked the
active database authority.
> - The replacement could report `native_controllers_require_migration`
even when the checkpoint, workspace and live owner were valid.
> - This change uses the existing complete checkpoint proof when the
local marker is absent. A marker that exists keeps its strict
validation.
> - The benefit is that a cold replacement can start while supported
remote work continues.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A volume-free replacement failed startup with
`native_controllers_require_migration`. The old server had a local
external-control marker and a valid active database checkpoint. The
replacement had the checkpoint but no local marker.

**Expected behavior**

An absent local marker must not make a complete, valid database
checkpoint into a local migration obligation. Missing, corrupt or
mismatched durable evidence must still refuse startup.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Save a full native checkpoint with its real checkpoint writer. Keep
its source run active with a live generation-one owner and its bound
remote workspace.
2. Remove only the local controller marker to represent a cold
replacement home.
3. Inspect native controller obligations. Before this change, the
inspection returns true.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `eb75c9bb855ce83915256efc9d6b308a272cdeff`. The fix is
based on `c44a422607f9f08c39ad98f9c830fe6e3dba8dc2`.

**Deployment mode**

Volume-free server with native remote execution and database checkpoint
persistence.

## What Changed

- Let an absent local marker use the existing full checkpoint, run,
session, workspace and owner checks.
- Keep validation of every present marker and the final file reread that
detects a change during inspection.
- Add a cold-home variant of the existing real PostgreSQL
active-checkpoint regression. Its live source owner has a different boot
ID from the inspecting process.
- Run the same refusal controls for missing checkpoint parts, invalid
identity, stale leases, changed task/workspace bindings and invalid
local markers.

## Verification

- Genuine RED: the cold-home case failed on unchanged production code
with `expected true to be false` after the real checkpoint was saved and
only its local marker was removed.
- Rebased GREEN, Node 24: `node node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run
--project @paperclipai/server
server/src/services/native-runtime/native-controller-migration.integration.test.ts
-t 'offline native controller migration
\(active_(durable|durable_cold|warm)\)'` — 3 passed, 53 unrelated cases
filtered out. These controls use disposable real PostgreSQL and the
canonical encrypted checkpoint writer/reader.
- Server layered TypeScript check: `cd server && node
scripts/typecheck-layers.mjs` — PASS for all source and test layers.
- `node scripts/check-module-boundaries.mjs` and `git diff --check` —
PASS.
- [Required
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/43003635878)
passed on `7c5cb8fc16f3f7e3bcfec0ce10bf0b43d638d09b`. All 60 check runs
are terminal: 55 success, 4 skipped and one neutral 5/5 review. Greptile
is 5/5 with no review threads. Live rolling-update acceptance remains a
separate delivery check.

## Risks

- No schema or saved-state format changes. State saved by the previous
release uses the same checkpoint reader.
- The absent-marker path still needs a complete valid checkpoint and the
existing identity, workspace and owner proof. Present legacy or
malformed markers still refuse.
- This changes eligibility only. It does not take ownership, launch
work, copy state, release a lease or alter admission.
- No command or configuration changes need operator documentation.

## Model Used

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

DottaandClaude c44a422607 fix(native): retry a follow-up whose own server stopped serving before its remote runner (#20786)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The native runtime runs each agent task through a Runner. On a
graceful shutdown (SIGTERM), the server closes its runtime API listener
first, then drains runs.
> - A run that is still preparing can reach the runtime API lookup after
the listener closed. It then fails with
`local_runtime_api_listener_unavailable` before it reaches its Runner.
> - For a remote (sandbox) Runner, the executor already settles this
failure as a same-run bootstrap retry, so the next server restarts it
with no manual Retry.
> - A follow-up run is different. Admission rebinds the settled
predecessor's provider session into the follow-up's run as its
checkpoint. The recovery evidence saw "a checkpoint exists" and called
the failure `ambiguous_state`. That blocked the task and the user had to
click Retry.
> - This pull request recognizes that carried checkpoint. When this
server's own listener closed, the run has no Runner checkpoint and no
provider event of its own, and a settled predecessor saved that exact
provider session, the failure is a same-run bootstrap retry.
> - The benefit is that a graceful restart during a follow-up's
preparation no longer needs a manual Retry.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
In a Daytona restart-chaos wave (codex, remote sandbox Runner), a
follow-up run was created. About 2 s later a graceful SIGTERM drain
began. The draining server kept preparing the run.
`resolveLocalRuntimeApiUrl()` in
`createRunnerdBackendWithinSessionClaim` threw
`LocalRuntimeApiListenerClosedError`. The run failed with
`local_runtime_api_listener_unavailable`. The task went to `blocked`
with a board-owned recovery action, and it needed a manual Retry. The
manual Retry worked.

**Expected behavior**
No provider work started for the run. The next server must pick it up
automatically.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Finish a remote native run for a task, so that its provider session
is saved.
2. Comment on the task to start a follow-up run. The follow-up carries
the saved provider session as its admission checkpoint.
3. Send SIGTERM while the follow-up is in preparation, before it reaches
its Runner.
4. The follow-up fails with `ambiguous_state` and the task is blocked.

**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at `62b7733161` (wave) and `eb75c9bb85` (this branch base).

Refs #20514, #20721

## What Changed

- `native-session-executor.ts` (`nativeProviderRecoveryEvidence`): add
one narrow case before the generic checks. When all of these are true,
return `bootstrap_retry` (with `checkpointExists: true` and
`providerSessionEstablished: false`):
- the source failure is `local_runtime_api_listener_unavailable` (this
server stopped serving);
- the target is remote, the run has the current preparation fencing
version, and the run has no Runner controller checkpoint;
  - the run has no provider event;
- the run checkpoint has no cursor, turn, terminal, result, or pending
request of its own;
- a settled earlier run of the same native session saved that exact
provider session.
- `native-restart-recovery.ts`: export the existing
`carriesSettledPredecessorSession` proof, so that the executor uses the
same proof that restart recovery uses for rebound sessions.
- `native-controller-recovery.integration.test.ts`: add a regression
test. It also shows that the verdict stays `ambiguous_state` for a
different failure code, for an unknown provider session, for a
checkpoint with its own turn, and for a run with a provider event.

## Verification

- Red on master: `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-controller-recovery.integration.test.ts
-t "own server stopped serving"` returned `recoveryMode:
"ambiguous_state", providerSessionEstablished: true`.
- Green with the fix: the same file passes (25 tests).
- `npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-startup-retry.integration.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-restart-preparation.integration.test.ts`:
43 passed (the existing closed-listener bootstrap-retry and ambiguous
cases are unchanged).
- `cd server && pnpm typecheck`: passed.
- Not run: a live restart-chaos wave.

## Risks

- Low risk. The new case applies only to the closed-listener failure on
a remote target. It needs durable proof that the run has no Runner
checkpoint and no provider event, and that the provider session belongs
to a settled predecessor. All other cases keep their earlier verdict.
- If the retry later finds different evidence, the existing restart
recovery and resumption checks re-prove it and fail closed. The task
then keeps a working Retry.
- Upgrade safety: no persisted shape changes. The proof reads only rows
that older servers already write (`sessionCheckpoint`,
`nativePreparationFencingVersion`, Runner checkpoints, run events). A
run that an older server prepared without the fencing version keeps its
earlier verdict.
- No waits are added before `turn.start`. The new queries run only on
the failure path.

execution in Claude Code.

DottaandClaude 59ded526be fix(native): ask once to re-check Paperclip before resting blocked on its own stall (#20779)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native runs report their result through a completion report. The
server checks the report before it accepts it.
> - When the Paperclip server pauses or restarts, the agent's Paperclip
tool calls stay unanswered. They return later, all together.
> - The agent can read that silence as an outage. It then reports a
blocker owned by a "Paperclip ... service" with reasonCode
`external_service_unavailable`.
> - The server accepts that report. The task rests blocked with no
Retry. Paperclip's own stall stops the task. Our rule says that must not
happen.
> - This pull request rejects that blocker report one time per run. The
correction tells the agent that Paperclip is reachable now and to
re-check.
> - The benefit is that the agent continues in the same turn and reports
the real outcome.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
In a restart-chaos test, the server was paused (SIGSTOP) for about 2 to
5 minutes while a Codex agent saved a task document. `write_document`
and `read_document` did not return during the pause. After the pause,
the save had succeeded, but the agent reported a blocker: owner
"Paperclip document service", reasonCode `external_service_unavailable`.
The run succeeded with disposition `blocked`. The task rested blocked
with `canRetry=false` and no automatic recovery. A second test (two long
server holds, then a same-run resume) gave the same result.

**Expected behavior**
A Paperclip stall or restart must not leave a task stuck. The agent must
re-check Paperclip after it is reachable and finish the task.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a native Codex task that saves a task document.
2. Pause the server process with SIGSTOP for about 2 minutes during the
save, then resume it.
3. The agent reports a blocker owned by a Paperclip service. The task
rests blocked with no Retry.

**Paperclip version or commit**
master at 62b7733161 (test base) and eb75c9bb85.

## What Changed

- `nativeCompletionFeedback` now rejects a `blocked` report one time per
run when all of these are true: the blocker owner kind is `system`, the
owner name contains "Paperclip", the reasonCode is
`external_service_unavailable`, the run is still running, and it owns
the task.
- The correction tells the agent: Paperclip answered this report, so it
is reachable now. Re-read the current state before writing again. Repeat
a needed write with the same `idempotencyKey`. Report blocked only if a
fresh Paperclip call fails now.
- The second identical report in the same run is accepted as before, so
a persistent real failure still rests blocked.
- Added a regression test. It also covers concatenated owner names such
as "PaperclipAI document service" and "paperclip_runner" (the match is a
case-insensitive substring).

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-completion-feedback.test.ts` passes
(32 tests).
- Red on master: the new test fails with `promise resolved "'Blocker
report accepted. ...'" instead of rejecting`. Green with this change.
- `cd server && npx tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json` passes.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change only adds one correction message inside the same
turn. It does not change a status, a database row, or a schedule.
- The once-per-run limit is kept in process memory. After a server
restart, a run can get the correction one more time. This is bounded and
harmless.
- The match uses the agent's own owner name. That only selects the
correction. It does not prove anything or replay a side effect. The
agent's next Paperclip calls give the real proof. Writes use idempotency
keys, so a repeated write does not apply twice.
- This does not add a Retry to a task that already rests blocked from an
older report. That is a separate product decision.

## Model Used

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

DottaandClaude eb75c9bb85 fix(native): resend a throttled harness backup upload instead of losing it (#20772)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - After a native run in a per-turn remote sandbox, the server saves a
durable harness backup to object storage. The next run restores the
provider session from it.
> - On staging, two OpenCode runs had an accepted result, but
`harness_state.backup.persist` failed. The run log for both says `remote
checkpoint failed: Please reduce your request rate.` This is the S3
`SlowDown` (HTTP 503) answer.
> - The backup and the OpenCode provider-artifact bundle were uploaded
as one stream `PUT`. The S3 SDK cannot send a stream body again, and
this path had no retry for a request-rate limit. One `SlowDown` lost the
backup.
> - The sandbox was then released. The follow-up run had no state to
resume and failed with `PRP provider resume state is unavailable` (class
P, see #20757).
> - This pull request uploads both objects from their encrypted scratch
file, as workspace snapshots already do. The existing throttled-retry
path then sends them again.
> - The benefit is that a short request-rate limit no longer loses the
only copy of a provider session.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20757 (the failure this causes on the next run). Refs #19917
(added the file-source upload path that this change uses).

**What happened?**

1. An OpenCode run in a per-turn Daytona sandbox finished, and its
result was accepted.
2. The server uploaded the encrypted harness backup with
`storage.putFile` and a stream body.
3. Object storage answered `503 SlowDown` ("Please reduce your request
rate."). Nothing sent the request again.
4. `harness_state.backup.persist` failed, and
`native.post_result_failure` was recorded.
5. The next run for the same chat task started in a new sandbox and
could not resume the provider session.

**Expected behavior**

A request-rate limit slows the upload down. It does not lose the backup.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Point the storage service at an S3 endpoint that answers the first
`PUT` of each object with `503 SlowDown`.
2. Call `persistNativeHarnessBackup`.
3. On `master` it throws `SlowDown: Please reduce your request rate.`

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `9574065a28`.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/native-runtime/native-harness-backup-storage.ts`:
pass the encrypted scratch file as `sourceFile` to `putFile`.
- `server/src/services/native-runtime/native-provider-artifacts.ts`: the
same for the provider-artifact bundle.
- `native-harness-backup-throttle.integration.test.ts` (new, focused
file): a real S3 client against a local endpoint that throttles the
first `PUT` of each object once. Cases for a Codex backup, and for an
OpenCode backup with provider artifacts. Each case also throttles the
first read-back of each object once. Each case checks that the backup is
current and restores the provider session bytes.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-harness-backup-throttle.integration.test.ts`:
both cases fail on `master` with `SlowDown: Please reduce your request
rate.` and pass with this change.
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-harness-backup-storage.integration.test.ts`:
68 pass (file unchanged).
- `cd server && npx tsc --noEmit -p .`: clean.
- `pnpm verify`: it selected the full server suite and failed 16 of
34,997 tests, all local-environment failures unrelated to object
storage: missing `.claude/skills/*/SKILL.md` files in this worktree,
`ENAMETOOLONG` under the macOS temp directory, and 30 s hook timeouts
under load. Required CI is the authority for that suite.

## Risks

- Low. A file source also sends a `Content-MD5` header, so the backend
rejects any byte it did not receive intact. Workspace snapshots have
used this path since #19917.
- An upload above 16 MiB now uses the file multipart path. That path has
the same verified-part retry.
- The read-back check (`getObject`) needs no change: a GET has no body,
so the S3 client resends it after `SlowDown`. The test now also
throttles the first read of each object once and proves the backup still
publishes.
- The Rust Runner is unchanged.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 f125b823f4 fix(recovery): release a parent's Retry once a done child's recovered files are saved (#20728)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A parent task waits for its done child tasks to save their workspace
files before it runs again (the workspace-finalize barrier)
> - "Recover saved files" saves the retained work of a done child and
records a successful `workspace_finalize`
> - That finalize row had no `execution_workspace_id`. The barrier reads
finalize rows by the blocker's workspace, so it never saw the row
> - The parent's saved Retry then waited forever with "Saving its files"
on a child that had already saved its files
> - This pull request lets the barrier accept the recovery's own
finalize for the recovered task's finished operations of the same run.
It does not make the recovery finalize a workspace-wide save
> - The benefit is that recoveries work by themselves: the parent's
dependency wait releases and its saved Retry starts on the next
dependency pass, with no migration

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A parent task had three done children. One legacy child shared the
parent's execution workspace. The operator pressed "Recover saved files"
on that child. The recovery saved the files and marked the old run
succeeded. The operator then pressed Retry on the parent. The server
accepted the Retry, but the parent stayed on "Retry is waiting for a
finished task this one depends on to save its files" for more than 15
minutes. `blockerAttention.pendingFinalizeBlockerIssueIds` named the
recovered child. The child had no active recovery action and no
execution blocker. The workspace was clean (`dirty: false`,
`writerRunId: null`).

The child's workspace operations showed the cause. The latest operation
on the workspace was a succeeded `workspace_recovery`. The recovery's
succeeded `workspace_finalize` existed, but with `execution_workspace_id
= NULL`. Earlier finalize attempts of that run had failed.
`pendingFinalizeBlockerCondition` only looks at operations on the
blocker's workspace, so it found no successful finalize after the
recovery.

**Expected behavior**
When "Recover saved files" saves a done child's work, the child must
stop holding its dependents. The parent's saved Retry must start without
another operator action.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Let a child task finish as `done` with a retained remote workspace
whose finalize failed.
2. Run "Recover saved files" on the child, so recovery saves the remote
workspace snapshot.
3. Block a parent task on the child. The parent can share the child's
workspace.
4. Read the parent's dependency readiness. Before this fix it reports
the child in `pendingFinalizeBlockerIssueIds` forever.

**Paperclip version or commit**
Seen on staging at `a46b9ac7`. Reproduced on `master` at `e039be9202`.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/issues.ts` (`pendingFinalizeBlockerCondition`):
the blocker task's latest workspace operation is settled when a
succeeded recovery finalize (`owningService: workspace_recovery`) from
the same company, task, and run started at or after that operation
finished. The operation must be finished (`succeeded`, `failed`, or
`skipped`). The recovery finalize can have no workspace (all rows
written so far) or this workspace.
- The rule is scoped to the blocker task and its run. It does not change
the workspace-wide `finalized_at`, so other tasks that share the
workspace keep their own barrier.
- `server/src/services/workspace-recovery-dependency-finalize.test.ts`:
new regression tests that run the real remote "Recover saved files"
path, make the child `done`, and block a parent that shares the child's
workspace.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: documents how the recovery finalize
settles the dependency barrier.

## Verification

- Red (unfixed `issues.ts`): `npx vitest run
src/services/workspace-recovery-dependency-finalize.test.ts` fails 3 of
4 tests. The parent stays not ready with the recovered child in
`pendingFinalizeBlockerIssueIds`.
- Green (fixed): the same file passes 4 of 4 tests:
- a real recovery releases the parent in `getDependencyReadiness` and in
the issue list `blockerAttention`;
- snapshot-fallback shape: the preservation receipt has no workspace and
the child's latest operation is the run's failed finalize. The parent is
released;
- safety: a sibling task that started work on the shared workspace while
the recovery waited for teardown still holds the parent;
- safety: child work that starts after the recovery still holds the
parent.
- Focused suites pass: `src/__tests__/issues-service.test.ts`,
`src/services/workspace-recovery-admission.test.ts`,
`src/services/task-retry.test.ts`,
`src/services/saved-bootstrap-continuation.test.ts`,
`src/services/remote-workspace-recovery-receipt-fallback.test.ts`,
`src/__tests__/issue-dependency-wakeups-routes.test.ts` (414 tests with
the new file).
- `pnpm verify` exits 2 (a doc change is a global CI input), so required
CI supplies broad coverage. Server `tsc --noEmit` passes.

## Risks

- Previous-release story: no persisted shape changes. Recovery finalize
rows already saved (with no workspace) are read by the new rule.
Affected parents become dependency-ready on the next read, with no
migration or backfill. The deferred-receipt and dependency backstop
passes then start the saved Retry.
- The barrier keeps its protection. Unfinished operations, operations
from another run, operations that start after the recovery finalize, and
other tasks on a shared workspace still wait for their own save.
- No schema change and no write-path change.

DottaandClaude 1ac8b6a711 fix(workspaces): stop re-saving a retained sandbox whose disk is still full (#20758)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - After a native run on a remote sandbox, Paperclip saves the sandbox
workspace back to durable storage. When that save fails, saved-work
recovery saves the files again from the retained sandbox, with no
provider turn.
> - A staging census of the last 48 hours
(`doc/plans/2026-11-11-staging-failures-vs-chaos-coverage.md`, class F)
found saves that failed because the sandbox disk was full.
> - #20678 already ends finalization at the first full-disk copy-back
and hands the work to saved-work recovery. Recovery then deletes
inactive tool caches that it can prove safe, and saves again.
> - When that save still found the disk full, recovery recorded a
transient `export_interrupted` failure with cause `provider_error`. It
then saved again on its automatic schedule (up to 5 retries in 30
minutes). Nothing frees space in a stopped, retained sandbox between
those attempts, so each attempt failed the same way. The task showed
"Recovering saved work…" and no Retry while this went on.
> - This pull request ends the recovery generation at the first such
failure with a named cause, `sandbox_disk_full`, and hands it to the
board with a Retry.
> - The benefit is that the task does not spend 30 minutes on saves that
cannot succeed, the user sees why, and one Retry saves the files and
starts one run.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20678, #20695 (named sandbox disk-full failures for copy-back and
restore)

**What happened?**
A native run on a remote sandbox finished, and its workspace copy-back
hit a full sandbox disk. Finalization handed the task to saved-work
recovery (#20678). Recovery's own save also hit the full disk. Recovery
classified this as `export_interrupted` / `retry_transient` with cause
`provider_error`, so it scheduled more automatic saves of the same
sandbox. Each one failed the same way. The task showed "Recovering saved
work…" with no Retry until the 30-minute window ran out.

**Expected behavior**
A save that still finds the disk full after the safe cache cleanup is
not repeated automatically. The recovery ends at once with the cause
`sandbox_disk_full`, and the board gets a Retry. The workspace keeps its
previous saved version, and the run's unsaved files stay in the retained
sandbox. One Retry saves the files once there is room and starts exactly
one run.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Give a native run an accepted result whose copy-back failed
(`native_workspace_sync_out_retry_exhausted`).
2. Make every save from its retained sandbox fail with
`remote_workspace_sandbox_disk_full`, with no inactive tool cache to
delete.
3. Run saved-work recovery. Before this change, it records
`export_interrupted` with cause `provider_error` and schedules another
save.

## What Changed

- `workspace-recovery.ts`: a save that fails with
`remote_workspace_sandbox_disk_full` after a confirmed cache cleanup (or
with nothing to clean up) now fails the generation with
`export_interrupted`, retry class `user_action_required`, and cause `{
label: "sandbox_disk_full", code: "ENOSPC" }`. That class is not retried
automatically, and it is not a permanent-source class, so recovery never
falls back to the last save and never drops the run's unsaved files. The
next sweep hands the hold to the board.
- A cleanup whose outcome is unknown (lost acknowledgement, interrupted
journal) keeps the existing scheduled retry, because its journal resumes
on the next attempt and can still free space.
- `retained-provider-cache.ts`: `reclaimInactiveNativeProviderCache`
returns `{ changed, confirmed }` instead of a boolean, so the caller can
tell "nothing to delete" from "outcome unknown". It has one caller.
- `system-recovery-state.ts`: the board handoff text for this cause says
that the sandbox disk is full, that Paperclip deletes only inactive tool
caches it can prove safe, and that Retry saves the files again.
- New `workspace-recovery-disk-full.test.ts` covers the whole path: one
failed attempt, no further automatic saves, the board handoff text, the
previous saved version unchanged, the agent's files still in the
sandbox, no unfinished in-sandbox capture attempt, a Retry offered in
the task presentation and blocker, `POST /issues/:id/retry` accepted
(202), the files saved after Retry, and exactly one run started (also
with a replayed dispatch).
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: documents the behavior.

## Verification

- Red on master: `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/workspace-recovery-disk-full.test.ts` fails. The recovery
state is `scheduled` with cause `provider_error` instead of `exhausted`
with cause `sandbox_disk_full`.
- Green on this branch: the same command passes.
- Related suites pass: `workspace-recovery-retry-copyback.test.ts` (79
tests, including the 8 cache-cleanup resume tests that need the
scheduled retry after an unconfirmed cleanup),
`system-recovery-state.test.ts`,
`workspace-recovery-capture-policy.test.ts`,
`workspace-recovery-fallback.test.ts`,
`workspace-recovery-stop-proof.test.ts`,
`native-run-finalizer-telemetry.test.ts` (167 tests in all).
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json` is 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 touches only the saved-work recovery path when its
save fails with the exact full-disk message.
- Upgrade-safe: the failure code (`export_interrupted`), the retry class
(`user_action_required`) and the cause label all pass the earlier
release's recovery schema. An earlier release that reads this state
shows its generic "Retry to try again" text.
- A full-disk failure no longer gets automatic retries in its 30-minute
window. If space became free by itself in that window, the user must now
press Retry. Nothing in a stopped, retained sandbox frees space by
itself, so this is expected to be rare.
- No Runner (Rust) change, so no new sandbox image is needed.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, used through Claude
Code with tool use (shell, file editing, test execution) and extended
reasoning.

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.

DottaandClaude f25fee3532 fix(native): hash runner artifacts and run archive tar off the event loop (#20722)
## Thinking Path

> - 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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20694, #20709

**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 Opus 5.5 1143abaf92 fix(recovery): give due exhausted holds their own fair lane in the recovery worker (#20725)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The workspace recovery worker saves the files of failed runs. It
also re-arms exhausted holds under the rules of #20295, #20569, #20641
and #20648
> - After #20680 and #20661 were deployed to staging, the worker still
re-armed none of 29 exhausted holds in 36 minutes. One hold's id sorts
in the first percent of all candidates, so the restart starvation that
#20680 fixed was not the only cause
> - The worker skipped every obligation while any unfinished save was
selectable. Discovery is instance-wide. A save that another server owns
stays unfinished on every run, so obligations never ran. The obligation
pass also put due holds behind hundreds of settled holds whose saved
input waits, at two per run. A completed pass never revisited a hold
that became due by time alone
> - This pull request gives due exhausted holds their own lane, and it
shares the worker's slots fairly between unfinished saves, due holds and
the obligation pass
> - The benefit is that every due hold is reached within a few runs of
the worker, whatever its other load. The holds save their files and free
their tasks without a person

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20680
Refs #20661
Refs #20648
Refs #20641
Refs #20569
Refs #20295

**What happened?**
On staging, 36 minutes after a deploy that included #20680 and #20661,
the workspace recovery worker had touched none of the 29 exhausted holds
of the company (22 capture-policy holds and 7 stop-proof or fallback
holds). They had no `stopProofRecovery` or `capturePolicyRecovery`
marker, no re-arm activity, and `updatedAt` from Nov 2 to Nov 10. The
worker did run manual "Recover saved files" requests: one stop-proof
hold saved its files 57 seconds after the request. So the worker was
alive and the stop proof was available. The holds were not reached.

**What did you expect to happen?**
The worker reaches each exhausted hold whose re-arm or fallback is due,
re-arms it, and saves the files, within a bounded time.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create a scheduled save whose run's finalization lock another
database session holds (another server owns the run).
2. Create an exhausted stop-proof hold and an exhausted capture-policy
hold, in the evidence shape that the Nov 4 and Nov 10 releases saved.
3. Start the real workspace recovery worker.
4. The worker retries the busy save on every run and never re-arms
either hold.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/workspace-recovery.ts`:
`reconcileRetainedWorkspaces` draws candidates from lanes. Each lane is
a page that its own cursor advances: unfinished saves; for the worker,
exhausted holds whose re-arm or fallback is due; and the obligation
pass. Before, the obligation pass ran only when no unfinished save was
selectable (the gate at `const unfinished = rows.length > 0; if
(!rows.length) { ... }`).
- Each lane with work takes one free slot before any lane takes a
second. The lane that goes first rotates on each run, so with one free
slot (a long local export holds the other) each lane still gets it in
one run of three. Actions of a run that one lane took join that run's
job without another slot.
- The due lane wraps at its tail. A hold that becomes due by time alone
(a lease expiry or a re-arm backoff) is reached after the obligation
pass completed with no committed change.
- `retainedWorkspaceCandidates` takes a `dueOnly` filter (due re-arm or
fallback of an exhausted hold). The obligation filter uses the same
condition. One `now` is used for the whole query.
- The startup sweep (no worker sweep state) also shares its slots
between unfinished saves and its general pass.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: document the lanes and the fairness
rule.
- New `workspace-recovery-passive-fairness.test.ts` with four
real-Postgres regressions.

## Verification

- Red on `origin/master` (156212cfd5), green with this change:
- "re-arms both staging holds while a save that another server owns
stays unfinished": the real worker, a busy unfinished save, and the two
staging hold shapes. On master neither hold is re-armed in 20 s.
- "reaches due holds within two runs however many settled holds with
waiting input sort before them": ten settled holds with waiting user
input sort before the two holds. On master the capture-policy hold is
not re-armed after two runs.
- "re-arms a hold that becomes due after its pass completed, with no
committed change": on master the hold is never re-armed.
- "re-arms the holds with one free slot while a long local job holds the
other and a busy save stays unfinished" (from the Greptile review): red
on this PR's first revision (05b261e5fe), green with the lane rotation.
- `npx vitest run` of the twelve suites that use discovery or the worker
(`heartbeat-observed-workspace-preservation`,
`server-startup-feedback-export`, `execution-control-work`,
`workspace-recovery-preparation-dispatch`, `-retry-copyback`,
`-fallback`, `-warm-handoff`, `-preparation-gates`, `-capture-policy`,
`-preparation`, `-stop-proof`, `-admission`) plus the new suite: 646
passed.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json`: clean.
- `pnpm verify` exits 2 because `doc/execution-semantics.md` is a global
CI input. Required CI supplies the broad coverage.
- Staging (read-only GET requests): the 29 exhausted holds, their saved
shapes, and the manual Retry timeline. Staging exposes only one company
to this account and no worker logs, so the exact unfinished row that
starved the pass on staging is not named. The fix removes the whole
class: no lane can starve another.

## Risks

- Previous-release story: no persisted state changes. Lane positions
stay in memory, as the existing cursors did. Holds saved by earlier
releases (no marker, no capture policy version) are due at once and are
reached in the first runs after deploy, with no migration. A deploy that
lands mid-run only resets the in-memory cursors.
- Behavior shift: obligations now share the two slots with unfinished
saves. With two free slots, a new save or a manual Retry gets one in two
runs of three. With one free slot, it gets it in one run of three.
- A due hold that its re-arm refuses again is revisited once per
due-lane pass. The worker already ran every interval while such a hold
was due, so this adds no new wakeups.
- One more bounded query per worker run (the due lane, 5 rows).

DottaandClaude 16024ffa2a fix(native): a same-boot stall never leaves a run waiting on itself (#20721)
## 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.
> - A second gap: after back-to-back stalls mid-tool, the executor
returns and nothing in this process ever looks at the run again. No
terminal state, no recovery and no Retry.
> - 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.
> - It also makes heartbeat schedule that recovery as soon as such an
executor exits.
> - 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`.

Chaos wave `w-20261111T040439-s9331` (Daytona, codex/claude/opencode,
T1, TM1). Three stalls of about 90 s came back to back, with less than 1
s between them. Each run was in a tool call. After the second thaw,
`native.session.execute` failed for all three runs (lease lost, executor
detached). After that, no run had any event: no terminal state, no
`native.recovery.transition` and no Retry, for 20 minutes. The
in-sandbox turns kept going. A single 90 s stall (wave s9340) stays
green, because a later recovery signal happens to find the run. With
stacked stalls, that signal can land while the executor is still tearing
down, so it skips the run and sets no deadline.

**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.ts`: when the executor ends with
`NativeControllerDetachedForRestartError`, there was no shutdown or
hot-restart handoff, and this process's own lease lapsed
(`ownNativeExecutionLeaseLapsed`), heartbeat schedules restart recovery
for the run when the executor exits. Recovery then reattaches the remote
runner whose turn is still running, restarts an unstarted bootstrap, or
fails the run with a working Retry.
- `claimNativeRestartRecoveries`: a self-owned lease that is still live,
with no driver here, now returns a `retryAt` at its expiry, so the wait
is bounded.
- `heartbeat/shutdown-handoff.ts`: add `isRunHandedOffForShutdown`.
Heartbeat recovery passes it to the claim.
- `suspendedByCleanDrain` now uses the shared
`handedToNextControllerSinceClaim` helper. Behavior is the same.
- Heartbeat test: an executor detaches after its own lease lapsed, with
no restart. The same process must take the run back. Red before (timed
out, the run stayed `running`), green after.
- 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`
- Daytona wave `w-20261111T050504-s9331` from this branch (same seed and
shape as s9331: 3 tasks, concurrency 3, three 90 s TM1 stalls with about
1 s between them). All 3 tasks reached `done` with no Retry. Run
`632f0564` (claude) shows the exact s9331 sequence:
`native.session.execute` failed after 216 s, then
`reattach_remote_runner` 0.4 s later (before the third stall), then a
second reattach after it, and the turn completed. Two tasks are graded
FAIL only on the T1 crossing check: their own fault landed after their
tool loop ended (for example loop ended 05:11:26, fault 05:11:44). Their
status is `done`, with no Retry.
- `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.

DottaandClaude 08ea18085e fix(workspaces): restore a saved workspace into one copy of sandbox disk (#20695)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A task on a remote (Daytona) sandbox continues from its saved
workspace. Before the agent starts, the server uploads the saved archive
into the sandbox and a sandbox script extracts it.
> - The extraction wrote a full second copy of the workspace beside the
uploaded archive. A 7.5 GB workspace on a fresh sandbox then needed
about 15 GB, and the restore failed with `stage=extract code=ENOSPC
disk=full`.
> - The failure was classified as retryable, so every automatic retry
and every Retry repeated it on a same-size sandbox. The task could not
continue.
> - On a retained sandbox it is worse: the old root, the archive, and
the new tree all share the disk.
> - This pull request makes the restore need about one copy of the
workspace. The sandbox removes only data that control-plane storage
already holds durably, and it never removes a root whose save the server
did not prove.
> - The benefit is that a workspace that fits once on the sandbox disk
restores. A disk that is too small for one copy now gets a named failure
that does not loop.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A saved remote workspace of about 7.5 GB could not be restored on a new
Daytona sandbox. The run failed with `remote_workspace_restore_failed:
step=sandbox_restore; remote_workspace_operation_failed:
operation=restore exit=1; remote_workspace_restore_failed: stage=extract
code=ENOSPC disk=full exit=1`. The run marked the failure as retryable,
and each retry failed the same way.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Save a remote workspace whose archive is larger than half of the free
sandbox disk.
2. Start the next run on another sandbox, so that the server restores
the saved archive.
3. The upload succeeds. The extraction writes the second copy and fails
with ENOSPC.

**Expected behavior**
A workspace that fits once on the sandbox disk restores. A disk that
cannot hold one copy gives a specific failure that is not retried
automatically, and Retry works after the sandbox has more space.

**What the disk holds during a restore (from the code)**
- The uploaded archive
(`<parent>/.paperclip-runtime/workspace-snapshots/<operation>/workspace.pcws`,
about the workspace size, because the archive is not compressed).
- The extracted tree (`<root>.restoring-*`, the workspace size).
- On a retained sandbox only: the old root, which stayed until after the
new root was published.
- After a restore that died: its partial tree and its archive, which no
later attempt removed.

Refs #20678 (the save side of the same full-disk class).

## What Changed

- `workspaceArchive` restore has a `consumeArchive` mode. It creates the
directories and symlinks first, then writes the file bodies from the
last to the first. After it verifies each file against the manifest
hash, it truncates the archive behind that file. The archive and the
tree together need the workspace size plus the largest file. The default
mode, which the server uses for local restores, does not change.
- The sandbox restore script uses that mode on a private rename of the
uploaded archive. A later upload to the same path cannot change the file
that is being consumed. The script removes the consumed file when it
stops.
- The helper's own staging is now inside the root-specific
`<root>.restoring-*` folder, not in a shared `.workspace-restore-*`
sibling.
- While it holds the root's restore lock, and after the epoch fence, the
script removes leftovers of an earlier attempt on the same root that
died: `<root>.restoring-*` folders, `.consuming` archives in its own
staging, and archive staging folders that a `restore-target.json` binds
to the same root. Each restore writes that binding after the reclaim
step.
- When the server proved that a retained root is its own earlier, fully
saved allocation (`replaceRetiredRoot` and a Paperclip receipt, as
before), the script removes the root's files before the extraction, not
after the publish. The receipt and `.paperclip-runtime` stay, so an
interrupted restore proves the same root again and continues.
- A full disk at any restore stage reports `reason=sandbox_disk_full`.
The existing named-refusal rule makes it non-retryable, so it goes to
the board recovery action and does not loop.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md` describes the disk need, the reclaim, the
early removal, and the new reason.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/remote-workspace-transport.test.ts
src/services/remote-workspace-snapshot-archive.test.ts` (287 passed).
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/remote-workspaces.integration.test.ts
src/services/remote-workspace-lifecycle.test.ts
src/services/remote-workspace-archive-worker.test.ts
src/services/remote-workspace-snapshot-archive-environments.test.ts`
(122 passed, 16 skipped).
- `cd server && npx tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json` (pass).
- The new tests run the real sandbox scripts against a folder with a
byte capacity. A `--require` preload makes each file write fail with
ENOSPC when the folder would exceed the capacity.
- Red on `origin/master`, green with this change:
- Fresh sandbox, room for the archive plus one file: master fails with
the exact production error `stage=extract code=ENOSPC disk=full exit=1`.
The fix restores every byte and leaves only the restored files.
- Retained root that the server proved, room for the old root, the
archive, and one file: master fails with ENOSPC. The fix restores and
keeps the runner state.
- Too small for one copy: the failure is `stage=extract
reason=sandbox_disk_full`, with no partial tree or archive left. A retry
with more space then restores.
- Both sandbox processes are killed mid-extraction (a restart): a retry
with the same identity and a retry with a new identity and epoch both
reclaim the leftovers and restore into the same capacity.
- The command dies right after it removed a proven root's files: the
next restore proves the root again from its kept receipt, restores, and
keeps the runner state.
- Integration test through `prepareRemoteWorkspace`: a full disk gives
`retryable: false` with `reason=sandbox_disk_full`. On master the same
case is `retryable: true`.
- Guards (pass on master and with the fix): a retained root without the
server proof, or without a Paperclip receipt, is refused with
`reason=occupied_root`, and none of its files are removed.
- Previous-release story: the archive format and the saved state do not
change. A partial `<root>.restoring-*` tree from the previous release is
reclaimed (test). Archive staging from the previous release has no
binding, so it is kept (test). The previous release's shared
`.workspace-restore-*` siblings cannot be bound to a root, so they are
kept.

## Risks

- The consumed archive cannot be read again. Each restore uploads a new
copy from control-plane storage, and the early-return path for an
already restored root does not read the archive. Every file is still
checked against the manifest, and the manifest is checked against the
saved digest.
- The reclaim step removes data only under the root's restore lock and
after the epoch fence. It removes only names that a restore of the same
root creates. Staging that names another root, or no root, is kept.
- The early removal of a retained root depends on the existing server
proof (`isRetiredOwnAllocation`) and the receipt check. If a restore
fails after the removal, the saved version in storage is the source of
truth, and the next restore proves the same root again.
- Files in a lower overlay layer of a resumed sandbox image do not free
space when they are removed. Such a sandbox can still be full.
- A workspace that is larger than the free disk after the upload, plus
its largest file, still fails. It now fails with the named,
non-retryable `reason=sandbox_disk_full`.
- No change to `packages/paperclip-runner`, the database schema, or the
API.

DottaandClaude 855e241887 fix(server): record a long event-loop block with the deltas that name its cause (#20709)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - One server process owns the controller leases of its runs, renews
them on timers, and serves every request
> - On a hosted instance, the process stopped for about 103 seconds
without a restart. Every lease lapsed, and two runs needed a manual
Retry (the symptom is fixed in #20694)
> - Nobody can say what blocked the process. The server records no
event-loop delay, and it has no CPU, GC or memory record for that minute
> - This pull request logs one local line for each event-loop block of 2
s or more. The line holds the deltas that tell the possible causes
apart, and a likely-cause class
> - The benefit is that the next stall names its class (main-thread CPU,
GC, paging, CPU throttling, host suspend, or a blocking sync call) and
its exact time, so we can match it to the run timeline and fix the cause

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20694

**What happened?**

On a hosted instance, the merged run-event timeline of all active runs
had no events from 08:19:52.04Z to 08:21:35.37Z (103.3 s). Events from
streaming runs arrived about every 0.5 s before and after the gap. The
process did not restart (the run diagnostic shows an observer uptime of
about 24 minutes when the reaper ran). The first event after the gap was
a span with a 60 s timeout that ended after 103.5 s. Thus the timer
callback ran about 43 s late. This agrees with a blocked event loop, or
with a frozen process. Nothing in the process recorded which one.

**Expected behavior**

A long event-loop block is a product failure. It lapses every lease and
freezes every user. The server must record each long block with enough
data to identify its cause.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start the server.
2. Block the main thread for more than 2 s, for example with a
synchronous read on a slow disk or a busy loop.
3. Before this change: the logs show nothing. After this change: the
logs show `event loop blocked for <n> ms (likely <cause>)` with the
measured deltas.

## What Changed

- `server/src/event-loop-stall-monitor.ts` (new): one unref'd 1.5 s
timeout, re-armed after each check, measures how late it runs. (Server
startup creates no interval timers, so it is not a `setInterval`.) When
a check is 2 s or more late, it logs once with these fields:
  - stall duration, start and end time (wall clock and monotonic clock)
- process CPU (user and system), GC pause time and count (`perf_hooks`
GC entries)
- major and minor page faults, file-system reads and writes, voluntary
and involuntary context switches (`process.resourceUsage()`)
- cgroup v2 `throttled_usec` delta (Linux; read asynchronously, best
effort)
  - RSS, heap and external memory
- `likelyCause`: `host_suspended`, `gc`, `memory_paging`,
`cpu_throttled`, `main_thread_cpu`, or `blocked_off_cpu` (sync file I/O,
a sync child process, or another off-CPU wait)
- `server/src/index.ts`: starts the monitor when the listener binds. It
stops the monitor at the start of shutdown, and when a failed startup
closes the listener. It writes the line with the existing `logger.warn`.
- This is a local log line only. It is not the Telemetry path and not
the Observability (OpenTelemetry) path. No data leaves the process.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/event-loop-stall-monitor.test.ts
src/__tests__/server-startup-feedback-export.test.ts` (131 passed; the
monitor file passed 5 runs in a row):
- an 800 ms busy loop is recorded as `main_thread_cpu`, with the stall
and CPU time
- an 800 ms `Atomics.wait` (blocks without CPU, like a sync read on a
stalled disk) is recorded as `blocked_off_cpu`
- nothing is logged while the loop is responsive, or after `stop()`
(injected clock)
- the file-read delta of a stall is kept while the cgroup read is
pending
  - server startup still creates no interval timer
- a 100 s stall with 90 s of cgroup throttling is recorded as
`cpu_throttled`, with the stall start and end times
  - each cause class is selected from its deltas
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsc --noEmit` passes.
- CI supplies the broad server suites.

## Risks

- Low risk. The timeout reads only process counters. Every 10 s it reads
one small cgroup file asynchronously. It does not query the database or
the network, so it does not keep an idle instance or its database awake.
It is unref'd and stopped on shutdown.
- `process.cpuUsage()` counts all threads of the process, not only the
main thread. A busy libuv thread pool during a stall can make an off-CPU
block look like `main_thread_cpu`. The raw deltas are in the line, so a
reader can check this.
- If a platform suspends and resumes the process, each resume can log
one `host_suspended` line. This is expected and useful.
- The monitor names the class of a block, not the call stack. If the
class is not enough, the next step is a bounded CPU profile around the
stall time.

DottaandClaude 200c6e40e2 fix(native): restart a bootstrap whose Runner suspended before the provider opened (#20691)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - When a native run's first provider start fails before any session
opens, Paperclip retries the bootstrap on the same run. Durable
controller evidence proves that no provider session or provider event
exists.
> - A remote sandbox keeps the Runner state inside the workspace. A
replacement sandbox gets that state back when the saved workspace is
restored.
> - When the provider refused `session.open` (for example an Anthropic
429), the Runner still suspended cleanly. Its state says `suspended`,
but the provider state has no session identity.
> - The same-run restart handled a Runner that never suspended. It did
not handle a Runner that suspended before the provider opened a session.
It failed with `runner_harness_state_mismatch:
provider_identity_incomplete (provider_not_suspended)`, and the task
showed "Recovery needed" without Retry.
> - This pull request lets that proven restart set the unopened session
aside and start the provider again.
> - The benefit is that a rate-limited provider start continues by
itself after the limit resets.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20627 and #20683 (other restore paths). This PR changes only the
same-run bootstrap restart.

**What happened?**

Two ACPX Claude tasks on remote Daytona sandboxes, on staging:

1. The first attempt sent `session.open`. ACPX rejected it with
`classification=provider_rate_limit` (Anthropic 429). The Runner exited
with `lifecycle=suspended`.
2. Paperclip recorded `recoveryMode: bootstrap_retry`,
`providerSessionEstablished: false`, `providerEventsExist: false`, and a
retry after the limit reset.
3. One hour later the retry ran as `bootstrap_incomplete` on the same
run, in a new sandbox with the saved workspace restored.
4. Host preparation inspected the restored Runner state. The Runner was
`suspended`, but the provider had no session identity. The inspection
threw `provider_identity_incomplete (provider_not_suspended)` before the
bootstrap restart branch ran.
5. The run failed. The task stopped at "Recovery needed" with only
inspect actions.

**Expected behavior**

The restart sets the unopened session aside and opens a new provider
session, as it already does for a Runner that never suspended.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Restart a remote run as `bootstrap_incomplete` with a proven
bootstrap restart.
2. Give the sandbox a Runner state for this run with `lifecycle:
suspended` and a provider state with no session identity.
3. Prepare the host. On `master` it throws
`runner_harness_state_mismatch: provider_identity_incomplete`.

The new `interrupted_bootstrap_unopened` cases of `bootstraps only an
untouched provider session in a $outcome workspace lease` run these
steps for a created and a resumed lease.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `7435abcc63`.

## What Changed

- During host preparation, a Runner state that is suspended with no
provider session identity returns the new incomplete reason
`provider_unopened`, but only when all of these hold:
  - the run is restarting as `bootstrap_incomplete`;
  - the state belongs to this same run;
- the controller already recorded the bootstrap restart proof (its
durable journal shows no provider turn, and the old Runner is stopped or
absent).
- the provider state is the one saved before any session opened
(`remoteProviderStateNeverOpened`): `prepared`, no session or identity,
no turn in progress, no unconfirmed exit. Only ACPX and Codex-family
states qualify.
- The created-lease and resumed-lease restart branches share one check
(`restartableBootstrapState`) and accept `provider_unopened` exactly
like `not_suspended`. They move the old session aside and claim a new,
untouched session root.
- Every other case still throws `provider_identity_incomplete`: another
run's state, a restart without the proof, a normal resume, and close
checkpointing.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts -t
"bootstraps only an untouched provider session"`: 47 passed.
- Red on `master`: the `created` and `resumed`
`interrupted_bootstrap_unopened` cases fail with
`runner_harness_state_mismatch: provider_identity_incomplete
(identity_binding)`. Green with this change.
- Fail-closed cases stay red-proof:
`interrupted_bootstrap_unopened_unproven` (no restart proof) and
`interrupted_bootstrap_unopened_other_run` (another run's state) still
throw.
- Full `native-session-executor.test.ts` and `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/server typecheck` pass.

## Risks

- Low risk. The new branch needs the same proof that already authorizes
a fresh bootstrap for a Runner that never suspended. The proof comes
from the controller's durable journal, not from the sandbox.
- The normal path is unchanged and has no added wait.
- Not proven live: I did not confirm on staging that the controller
recorded the restart proof for these runs. If it did not, the run still
fails closed as before.

DottaandClaude 4baff83225 fix(chat): never batch messages of two chat conversations into one wake (#20697)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Chat channels let a linked user talk to an agent from GitHub, Slack
and other platforms. Each external thread is a chat conversation. Many
conversations can share one task.
> - A reviewed chat run attests exactly one conversation. #17054 keeps
each conversation in its own wake batch, but it compares only the
conversation that a wake records.
> - The work-intent outbox saves unanswered user messages as a plain
comment wake. That wake records no conversation, even when its messages
are chat messages. A wake with no recorded conversation matched every
conversation, so a message from another conversation merged into it.
> - The promoted run held messages of two conversations. The binding
check correctly refused it
(`reviewed_chat_execution_binding_not_authorized`, `binding_denied`),
and the task needed Retry.
> - This pull request compares the conversations of the queued messages
themselves. Wakes of different conversations never merge. Each
conversation gets its own run, in order.
> - The benefit is that replies in several threads of one task each get
an attested run, without a failed run or a Retry.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17054 (the earlier per-conversation batching fix). Refs #20689 (a
different shape of the same error).

**What happened?**
On staging, a GitHub pull-request review task had two runs fail with
`setup_failed` / `reviewed_chat_execution_binding_not_authorized`
(`reviewedChatBinding.denialReason: binding_denied`). Each failed run
held the same two older saved messages plus one new message. The two
runs recorded two different `chatConversationId` values. The work-intent
outbox had saved the older messages as plain deferred wakes with no
conversation. A new message from each conversation then merged into one
of these saved wakes.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Bind two chat conversations to one `in_review` task.
2. Let the outbox save an unanswered message of conversation B as a
deferred wake while a run is active.
3. As the linked user, send a message in conversation A while the run is
still active.
4. See that the message of A merges into the saved wake of B. The
promoted run fails the binding check.

**Expected behavior**
The saved message of B runs as its own wake. The message of A runs after
it, in its own attested run.

## What Changed

- New
`server/src/modules/wake-queue/adapters/chat-conversation-batch.ts`:
reads the inbound chat links (`chat_message_links`, direction `inbound`)
of queued messages and finds messages of a conversation other than the
expected one.
- Deferred-wake lookup (`findExistingDeferredWake`): when the incoming
wake has a conversation, a saved wake qualifies only if none of its
queued messages is an inbound message of another conversation. This is
one more predicate in the same query (no new round trip). It uses the
existing `chat_message_links_company_comment_idx` index.
- Coalescing into the active run (`coalesceIntoActiveExecutionRun`):
returns no merge when the merged batch would hold messages of a
conversation other than the one it records. The wake is then saved
behind the run, which is the existing fallback.
- Release drain (`findNextDeferredWake`), upgrade repair: a saved chat
wake that older code already merged across two conversations is split.
The other conversation's messages move to a plain saved wake (the outbox
shape), ordered just before it. The original wake keeps its conversation
and its own messages. The drain then reads the queue again.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: describe the comparison and the upgrade
repair.
- New test `chat-wake-conversation-batch.test.ts` (embedded Postgres,
real admission and release code, real
`authorizeChatConversationForBoundRun`).

## Verification

- Red on `origin/master` (test file only): `pnpm --dir server exec
vitest run
src/modules/wake-queue/adapters/chat-wake-conversation-batch.test.ts`
gives 4 failed, 6 passed. The 4 failures are the bug: the new message
merges into the other conversation's saved wake (`[[earlier, reply]]`),
two conversations cross-merge, a message coalesces into a queued run of
another conversation, and the old merged shape stays merged. The 6
passing cases pin unchanged batching.
- Green with the fix: 10 of 10 pass. Each separated wake passes
`authorizeChatConversationForBoundRun` for its own conversation. The old
merged shape fails it with
`paperclip_runner_chat_attachment_binding_denied` before the split.
- Batching that stays the same (pinned, pass before and after): comment
wakes with no conversation merge; messages of one conversation merge; an
outbox-saved wake of the same conversation still absorbs the reply; a
chat message and plain comments merge in both orders; same-conversation
messages still coalesce into a queued run; two recorded conversations
stay apart.
- Related suites pass locally: `src/modules/wake-queue`,
`src/modules/run-dispatch`, `chat-run-milestone-work`,
`durable-chat-wakeup`, `heartbeat-comment-wake-batching`,
`heartbeat-reviewed-chat-binding.integration`,
`slack-conversation-lifecycle`, `queued-comment-consumption`,
`issue-queued-comments-routes` (23 files, 1037 tests).
`heartbeat-process-recovery`: see the comment below.
- `tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json` passes.

## Risks

- Low risk. No schema change and no migration.
- Behavior change only for chat messages: a message no longer joins a
saved wake or a run that holds another conversation's inbound messages.
It gets its own wake behind them, and it runs after them. Before this
change, that batch always failed the binding check.
- Board comments have no inbound chat link, so they belong to no
conversation. Wakes without a conversation, wakes of one conversation,
and mixed board-comment and chat wakes batch exactly as before.
- Ordering: the deferred queue still promotes one wake per release,
oldest first. The second conversation waits for the issue execution
lock. Single-assignee and atomic checkout are unchanged.
- Upgrade: a saved wake that older code merged across conversations is
split at promotion. No message is dropped or delivered twice: each
message id moves to exactly one wake. A run that older code already
promoted in the merged shape is not changed; it fails the binding check
as before and keeps its existing Retry path.
- No wait is added before a turn starts. Admission adds one predicate to
an existing query. Coalescing adds one indexed read only when the merged
batch has a chat conversation.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 d79b7f29f2 fix(heartbeat): bind queued card-answer interrupts to the delivered answer (#20698)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A person can queue direction while a task's run is active, then use
Interrupt to stop the run and start a successor that receives the
direction
> - The queued direction can be an answer to a card, for example an
accepted confirmation of a saved plan
> - `explicitOperatorRunIdentity` verifies the click from the coalesced
queue receipt before the successor run can start
> - That check required comment ids in the receipt, but a card answer
carries its interaction and no comment ids
> - So every claim of the successor failed with 403, and the direction
never reached a run
> - This pull request binds a card-answer receipt to the answer that the
successor run delivers, and to the user who gave it
> - The benefit is that Interrupt works for queued card answers, and the
operator identity stays verified

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #14043, #14510

**What happened**

A person accepted a `request_confirmation` card on a task while its run
was active, and then clicked Interrupt. The active run stopped
("Interrupted to send queued messages"). The successor run was then
cancelled with "Cancelled because the queued run cannot be claimed:
Queued-message interrupt authority is unavailable". The coalesced
receipt had the interaction id and no `queuedCommentIds`. The successor
run's context had the same `interactionId` and the receipt id in
`queuedCommentSourceWakeIds`. The chat eval
`steering.interrupt-with-direction` recorded this.

**Expected behavior**

The successor run starts, receives the accepted direction once, and runs
with the clicking user as its responsible user. A receipt that the run
does not deliver, or an answer that another user gave, still fails
closed.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a run on a task.
2. While the run is active, accept a confirmation card on that task. The
answer goes into the deferred queue.
3. Click Interrupt for the queued messages.
4. Before this change, the successor run is cancelled with
`queued_run_claim_rejected`.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/run-identity.ts`: the shared receipt binding
(consumed `coalesced` receipt for the same company, agent and run; same
task; `user` request from the marker's actor) runs first, as before.
Then:
- A receipt with comment ids keeps the existing rule: all ids must be
delivered to the run.
- A receipt without comment ids must be a queued card answer
(`queuedInteractionId`). The run context must deliver the same
`interactionId`. The interaction must be on the same company and task,
with the receipt's status, and `resolvedByUserId` must be the clicking
user. Then the run gets the operator identity
(`queued_comment_interrupt`). Otherwise the claim still fails with 403.
- `server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-queued-run-claim-isolation.test.ts`: a
successor of a card-answer interrupt is claimed, runs, and has the
clicking user as responsible user. Two negative cases: the run delivers
a different answer, and another user resolved the answer. Both stay
rejected.

Relation to #14510: that open PR fixes the same claim failure (#14043)
by returning `null` for card-answer receipts, so the run starts without
the operator identity. Its Risks section notes that keeping the operator
identity needs a check that the actor resolved the interaction. This PR
adds that check instead, so the successor keeps the identity that
enqueue time records. If maintainers prefer #14510's approach, this PR's
regression test still applies to it.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-queued-run-claim-isolation.test.ts`: the new
positive test fails before the change (successor cancelled) and passes
after it. The negative tests and the existing tests pass.
- Suites that cover interrupt identity, each run separately:
`run-identity` (37), `heartbeat-responsible-user-invariant` (18),
`issue-queued-comments-routes` (129), `deferred-execution-receipt-work`
(50), `task-interruption-query` (31), `explicit-native-continuation`
(436), `run-cancellation` (8), `workspace-recovery-admission` (147),
`wake-queue/adapters/postgres` (113): all pass. In
`heartbeat-process-recovery`, the interrupt-named tests pass except
`dispatches interrupted CLI input and cleans up early fixture exits`,
which fails before any interrupt (the CLI child does not start:
`controller_lease_lost`). It fails the same way on unchanged master on
this loaded host (3 of 3 attempts failed at least one case), so it is
not caused by this change. CI covers it.
- `server` `tsc --noEmit`: no errors in the changed files.
- Live chat eval
`chat-features.runner-opencode.local.steering.interrupt-with-direction`
at this branch (run 42938970466): passed. The old run stopped with
"Interrupted to send queued messages". Exactly one successor run
started, delivered the accepted card answer, ran with the clicking user
as responsible user, and saved the approved single page and its delivery
document. Before this change, the same case failed with the successor
cancelled as `queued_run_claim_rejected`.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change adds a verified path only for receipts that
previously always failed. Comment receipts keep their checks.
- If a different user answered the card than the user who clicked
Interrupt, the claim still fails. The person who answered can click
Interrupt.

DottaandClaude ce3881f1b3 fix(skills): release a skill cache lock whose holder's deployment was replaced (#20688)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Run preparation publishes skill revisions into a shared runtime
skill cache. A file lock serializes each publication. A lock whose
holder provably exited is released at once.
> - That check used `controllerProcessExited`, a PID proof. It fails
closed whenever the recorded process space (host, kernel boot, PID
namespace) differs from this server's.
> - Every Railway deploy starts the server in a new process space. A
lock left by a server that a deploy stopped mid-publish can never be
released. Each later preparation of that skill waits 60 s and fails with
"Runtime skill cache publisher is busy … remove it", until an operator
deletes the file.
> - The rest of recovery already uses one shared prover
(`proveOwnerGone`). Across process spaces it accepts a replaced platform
deployment on the same exclusive volume, or a stopped or fenced server
boot.
> - This pull request makes the skill cache lock use that prover. It was
the last caller of the separate PID-only proof.
> - The benefit is one rule for "the controller from a previous
deployment is provably gone", and no manual file removal after a deploy.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A census of staging failures after deploys showed that
`controllerProcessExited` always fails closed after a deploy, because
the process-space hash changes. On `master`, the only remaining caller
is the runtime skill cache lock check. The restart chaos harness
restarts in the same process space, so the PID proof succeeded there and
hid the gap. I did not find this failure in the staging run census. It
is a latent dead end with the same cause as the census class.

**Expected behavior**
A lock whose holder ran in a deployment that the platform replaced on
the same exclusive volume, or whose server boot stopped or was fenced,
is released at once. Any other holder is still waited for.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run the server on Railway with a volume.
2. Redeploy while a skill revision is being published (the lock file
exists).
3. Prepare a run that needs the same skill revision on the new
deployment.
4. Observe a 60 s wait and `Runtime skill cache publisher is busy; retry
preparation.` on every attempt.

**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at `c444da7d05` (the new test fails there).

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/runtime-skill-cache.ts`:
`runtimeSkillCacheLockHolderExited` builds a local owner stamp from the
recorded controller (boot ID, PID, process space, start time, and the
Railway deployment and volume when recorded). It returns true only for
the `gone` verdict of `proveOwnerGone`.
- Same-space PID rules do not change. A dead PID is gone, a live PID
with no start time is unprovable, and this server's own boot is alive.
- `server/src/__tests__/runtime-skill-cache.test.ts`: a new test for a
holder in another process space whose deployment the platform replaced.
- The proof is bounded by the lock wait (5 s, never past the deadline).
A timed-out or failed proof keeps the lock held. A proof still running
is joined by later waits on the same holder, so a stalled read adds at
most one database query per holder.
- `server/src/services/controller-process-identity.ts`: removes
`controllerProcessExited`, which has no caller left; its test assertions
now check `sameProcessSpace`.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run src/__tests__/runtime-skill-cache.test.ts
src/services/controller-process-space-identity.test.ts` (from
`server/`): 31 passed.
- New: "releases a lock whose holder ran in a deployment the platform
replaced". It fails on `master` (`expected false to be true`) and passes
with this change.
- The same test keeps the lock held for: the same deployment ID, another
volume, a non-exclusive volume, another service, and no recorded
deployment.
- The existing test "never treats age, another host, or a legacy holder
as proof that a lock holder exited" still passes. Without a deployment
or controller lease proof, another host stays held.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json` passes.
- `pnpm verify` selected 2504 of 3294 test files (the change reaches
`owner-proof.ts` importers) and hit my 30 min local limit with no
failure seen. Required CI supplies the broad coverage.
- Live proof: not done (tests only).

## Risks

- Across process spaces, a held lock can now trigger a read of
`controller_instances` for the holder's boot. This happens at most once
per second, and only while a lock is held. Uncontended preparation does
no extra work.
- The prover may fence a boot row whose lease lapsed past its grace, as
it already does for every other recorded owner.
- No persisted shape changes. Older lock files without a `controller`
field stay held, as before.

DottaandClaude a46b9ac724 fix(native): wait out an ACP usage limit's reported reset, then Retry the task (#20692)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs (Paperclip Runner with an ACP harness, such as Claude)
can stop because the provider account runs out of its usage allowance
> - The ACP harness reports this as a "terminal limit failure".
Paperclip blocked the task behind a board hold that called the session
state ambiguous, and the only way forward was a manual Retry
> - The provider also says when the limit resets, for example "resets
Nov 12, 6pm (UTC)" for a weekly limit. Paperclip read only clock-only
resets ("resets 2am"), so the agent-level wait fell back to one hour.
Each later wake for the agent then hit the limit again and blocked
another task
> - This pull request reads calendar resets, says on the hold when the
limit resets, and requests the task's Retry itself at that time when the
reset is reported and bounded
> - The benefit is that a usage limit no longer needs a person to click
Retry, and the agent's other tasks wait instead of failing one by one

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A native ACP run failed with `native_provider_usage_limit` ("ACP agent
reported a terminal limit failure. You've hit your weekly limit · resets
Nov 12, 6pm (UTC)"). The task went to `blocked` with a board-owned hold.
The hold said "Inspect the original provider failure and explicitly
resolve the ambiguous session state". Nothing resumed the task after the
reset. The agent-level `provider_limit_wait` recorded "no reset time was
reported, so Paperclip waits one hour", so every hour another wake
dispatched, hit the limit, and blocked another task. In one 48-hour
window on a staging instance, this blocked 7 tasks for one agent.

**What did you expect?**
When the provider reports a bounded reset, the task waits and continues
after the reset, like the existing `provider_limit_wait` path. When the
reset is unknown, the task fails with a clear message and a working
Retry.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a native ACP agent until its provider reports a weekly or session
limit with a reset time.
2. Look at the task: it is blocked with an "ambiguous session state"
hold.
3. Wait past the reported reset: the task stays blocked until a person
clicks Retry.

Refs #20666 (other recovery work in the same staging census; not changed
here)

## What Changed

- `provider-quota-reset.ts`: parse calendar resets such as "resets Nov
12, 6pm (UTC)", "resets Jul 17th at 4:30 PM (America/Chicago)" and
"Resets on August 2, 9am (UTC)". A past date rolls into next year. An
impossible date (Nov 31) is refused. Clock-only parsing is unchanged.
This also fixes the agent-level `provider_limit_wait` reset and the
legacy `provider_quota` reset for these messages.
- New `native-runtime/provider-limit-resume.ts`:
- `readNativeUsageLimitReset` reads the reset only from the run's own
durable events. The last turn event must be a provider-observed
`turn.failed` with a `rate_limit` or `quota_exhausted` provider failure,
and the reset must be at most eight days out.
- `requestProviderLimitResumeRetry` asks for the task's Retry
(`requestTaskRetry`, `initiatedBy: "provider_limit_reset"`) on behalf of
the user who requested the run, or the run's accountable user for
automatic wakes. It is idempotent per run and records its outcome on the
hold. At most three automatic Retries follow one another without a
successful run.
- `registerProviderLimitResumeWork` is a scoped deadline owner (shared
work scheduler, no polling). Each active usage-limit hold is due at its
reset. Startup rebuilds it from the holds, and the executor notifies it
in the hold's transaction.
- `native-session-executor.ts`: for a terminal usage limit, the hold and
run failure detail say when the limit resets and whether Paperclip
retries then, instead of "ambiguous session state". The evidence records
`providerLimitResetAt`.
- `task-retry.ts`: accept `initiatedBy: "provider_limit_reset"`. Its
activity is recorded as system actor `provider-limit-reset` on behalf of
the user, like `restart_recovery`.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: document the wait and its limits.

Previous-release story: holds saved by the previous release carry
forward. At startup the owner reads each active
`native_provider_usage_limit` hold. It rewrites the hold's message with
the reset when the reset is known and still ahead, and it requests the
Retry at the reset. Holds whose reset is unknown, more than a day in the
past, or that have no accountable user keep their Retry and are recorded
as not requested, so they are not read again.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run server/src/services/provider-quota-reset.test.ts` — 4
tests. Three fail on `origin/master` code (calendar resets return
`null`), all pass with this change.
- `npx vitest run
server/src/services/native-runtime/native-provider-capacity.integration.test.ts`
— 5 tests on embedded Postgres:
- the existing usage-terminal test (both replay modes) still blocks with
a Retry, and no automatic Retry is requested without a reported reset;
- "waits for a reported usage-limit reset and then requests the task's
Retry once": the hold says when the limit resets, an old-release hold is
rewritten, nothing starts before the reset, one Retry receipt is created
for the accountable user at the reset, and a second pass does nothing.
Fails on `origin/master` executor code;
- "starts the Retry from the hold's own deadline": a real delivery
coordinator rebuilds the deadline from the hold and calls Retry dispatch
once, after the reset;
- "leaves a visible Retry when no user is accountable for the run".
Fails on `origin/master` executor code.
- Focused regression suites pass (642 tests): `task-retry`,
`quarantined-task-retry`, `heartbeat-native-restart-suspension`,
`native-startup-retry.integration`, `provider-failure-classification`,
`heartbeat-provider-limit-wait`, `deferred-execution-receipt-work`,
`chat-run-publications`, `native-runner-restart-recovery.integration`,
`native-remote-retry-admission`.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsc --noEmit` passes.
- `pnpm verify` selected a broad run (exit 2, because the docs file is a
global CI input). CI supplies the broad coverage.

## Risks

- The automatic Retry uses the accountable user's authority for
automatic (system) wakes. It is the same Retry the hold already offered
that user, and dispatch still checks Retry authority, stop proof, saved
work and action reconciliation. It is never broader than a click.
- A provider that keeps reporting resets that do not restore capacity
gets at most three automatic Retries in a row; then the Retry stays
visible.
- The deadline owner reads all active usage-limit holds at startup
(limit 500 rows). The number of such holds is small.
- Not changed: the agent-level wait still holds new wakes for at most
one day, as before.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, via Claude Code with
tool use (shell, file edits, read-only staging API reads). Extended
reasoning enabled.
