DottaandPaperclip 9bf7dc0c8f feat(agents): bulk edit connections and default models (#17215)
Add harness-scoped bulk connection and default-model edits to the agent roster, with compatible choices, change previews, per-agent save results, and retries.

Use an icon-based harness filter, keep agent rows readable, remove the status selector and selection hint, and redirect legacy status URLs to the full roster.

Preserve authorization, audit history, unrelated settings, and optimistic concurrency checks through the existing agent update route.

DottaandPaperclip 30b753f614 perf(budgets): scope accounting and deliver enforcement asynchronously (#17046)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their paid work.
> - Budgets must prevent new work and stop reported overruns.
> - Cost settlement also ran serial lifecycle reconciliation for every
eligible company agent.
> - That made request latency grow with unrelated idle agents and
delayed results on stop delivery.
> - This change separates atomic admission and accounting from durable
asynchronous enforcement.
> - Scoped live usage detects overruns without writing provisional
ledger charges.
> - The result is constant query scope for ordinary settlement and
recoverable stop delivery.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Settlement and budget checks entered company-wide lifecycle
reconciliation. A company with 1,000 unrelated idle agents performed
1,001 accounting transactions for one ordinary cost evaluation. User
requests could also wait for provider termination. Running usage
checkpoints did not enforce reported monetary exposure.

**Expected behavior**

Keep the final reservation gate authoritative. Commit charges, scope
blocks, and enforcement intent before returning. Deliver stop requests
after commit. Read only applicable policies and execution scopes for
ordinary charges. Stop long-running work when supported reported or
priced usage establishes an overrun.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a disposable company with one company budget and idle agents.
2. Evaluate a charge below the budget with 0, 17, and 1,000 unrelated
idle agents.
3. Compare query counts, company accounting transactions, and duration.
4. Use the controlled partial-usage and delayed-stop fixtures to check
enforcement and request responsiveness.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The measured baseline is `6c9b87d0922f1ebfc43e8b0c36889ac5ba7b9837` from
`master`.

Related public work: Refs #16976, #2006, #3539, #13763, #14296, #16853,
#13075. These cover the affected service charge, cancellation, and
accounting paths. This change removes their shared reconciliation
overhead.

## What Changed

- Batch applicable policy exposure under the existing company accounting
lock. Preserve exact fractional money and zero-reservation dispatch
fences.
- Commit a durable final budget dispatch claim before provider I/O.
Retain a separate final issue/run ownership transaction through
synchronous handoff, without holding the company accounting lock or
awaiting provider work. Preserve native recovery lease checks and
duplicate handoff fencing. Browser handoff rechecks current policy; it
reuses a consumed rate slot only for the identical policy generation.
- Separate ledger spend, live observed spend, and effective held
capacity. Use the maximum of reservation and live observation for each
unfinished operation.
- Deliver budget cancellation through the existing coordinator.
Revalidate generations and persist queued/running stop fences before
external termination. Bound stop concurrency to four.
- Apply agent holds only to the affected agent. Project budgets leave
other projects running. Project real company transitions in bounded
lifecycle batches.
- Replace periodic broad reconciliation with durable pending work,
startup repair, receipt replay, and concrete retry/window deadlines.
Retain drain and idle-safety checks.
- Enforce accepted cumulative usage checkpoints without provisional
charges. Final accounting atomically replaces live exposure and settles
reservations.
- Add operator-gated budget spans, regression coverage, map updates, and
a real-PostgreSQL comparison harness. No schema or first-party telemetry
change.

## Verification

- Full workspace `pnpm -r typecheck` passes on the final ownership fix,
rebased onto `bbcf5dfe98`. Production `pnpm build` passes on final head
`4c5f4de8b1`. Map, module-boundary, token, and Storybook catalog checks
pass.
- Focused real-PostgreSQL coverage includes the 292-case rebased
accounting/dispatch run, 63 browser cases, 52 run-control/cancellation
cases, 42 policy-generation cases, 77 lifecycle/commentary cases, and
the exact Muse confirmation regression. Native executor unit coverage
passes all 768 cases. Final ownership coverage passes: 74
adapter/use-case cases, nine public regression cases, and the additional
deleted-project race. These exercise competing ownership, budget changes
and charges between phases, zero/nonzero duplicate claims, rollback,
recovery contention, read-only capacity rechecks, and controlled HTTP
startup after commit. Another 74 pure/startup/tracing cases pass. The
complete CI matrix and both 5/5 reviews passed on `1ac9b58`; its
external security scan identified a stale-owner handoff race. The final
fix restores synchronous issue/run ownership fencing after the
accounting transaction commits. Final head `8e84f55ce8` has fresh
Greptile 5/5 with zero new comments, Paperclip review 5/5, and a passing
security scan. The complete latest-head [CI
matrix](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39535189808)
passes, including budget, browser, Runner, build, and canary jobs. The
unchanged Runner close fixture passed on its sole same-head job retry.
- Broad local `pnpm test:run` invocations were stopped before required
source updates (rebase and review fixes). They are not claimed as full
passes. Final full-suite coverage comes from the complete latest-head CI
matrix; local focused coverage and the incomplete broad invocations are
reported separately.
- Reproduce performance with `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsx
../scripts/benchmark-budget-enforcement.ts
--baseline-ref=6c9b87d0922f1ebfc43e8b0c36889ac5ba7b9837`; repeat with
`--reverse`. The harness uses disposable real PostgreSQL, 20 warm
samples per variant/count, and records raw timings, SQL/lock counts,
agent reads, unchanged agent state, and query plans. Final
production-source measurement revision:
`eff713a4f72c7f4b7a4002a701cb481d4bfccd95`; the extended harness is
committed in `4c5f4de8b1`.

| Unrelated idle agents | Baseline median / p95 | New median / p95 |
Baseline SQL / locks | New SQL / locks | New agent reads |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| 0 | 1.80 / 2.33 ms | 2.99 / 3.88 ms | 5 / 1 | 7 / 1 | 0 |
| 17 | 15.53 / 19.55 ms | 2.24 / 2.60 ms | 90 / 18 | 7 / 1 | 0 |
| 1,000 | 978.35 / 1,790.43 ms | 2.16 / 2.52 ms | 5,005 / 1,001 | 7 / 1
| 0 |

- These measurements use local PostgreSQL 18.1 and Node 26.4.0 arm64.
They isolate the cost-evaluation core and complete admission path,
without hosted-region or provider latency. Prior-revision reversed-order
controls also preserved the constant query counts; the final
measurements above use the final production source.
- Complete reserve → final ownership gate → immediate offline provider
result is measured separately, with one responsible agent and one active
operation at each unrelated-agent count. Admission p95 baseline/new: 0
agents **11.54 / 29.77 ms**; 17 agents **9.31 / 27.62 ms**; 1,000 agents
**24.51 / 74.05 ms**. Baseline admission was already scoped; the
stronger final fence adds bounded overhead. New counts stay constant at
53 Drizzle statements, three transactions, two company-accounting locks,
and five agent-reading statements bound to the responsible agent. Zero
unrelated-agent reads, exactly one provider callback per sample, and no
leftover runs or holds. All admission scenarios stay below 250 ms. No
external provider calls are included.
- The partial-usage/delayed-termination fixture passed 20/20: receipt
persistence p95 13 ms, receipt return to observed durable Stop fence p95
28 ms, complete receipt-start-to-fence p95 50 ms, unrelated database
request p95 1 ms while termination was blocked. After releasing the
controlled termination fixture, acknowledgement p95 was 14 ms. These are
separately measured phases; fixture acknowledgement is not live-provider
termination latency.
- Models and provider deadlines are unchanged. No deployment, live
inference, or staging acceptance is claimed. A quiet 30-minute follow-up
waits for the merged revision on staging, then repeats classifier and
controlled budget-stop acceptance in staging, recording hosted
bookkeeping, queue delay, and actual provider acknowledgement
separately.
- Development failures retained: finalizer notification regressions
(fixed; 27/27 affected cases passed), invalid browser admission fixture
assumptions (fixed; browser coverage now passes 63/63), and first-head
lifecycle/dispatch CI regressions (reproduced and repaired). A
prior-head Cases E2E test hit its unchanged announcement-dismiss handler
race while opening a filter; the same journey passed on `1ac9b58`. The
external security review then found a stale-owner race between
accounting commit and provider entry; final verification covers a
competing run in that gap while retaining provider I/O outside the
accounting lock. Early PostgreSQL startup attempts hit local semaphore
pressure; serial reruns succeeded. The final-head Runner lane had one
failure among 1,823 tests: the unchanged `timeout-attachment` fixture
failed at its first process close after 6.28 seconds. The sole same-head
job retry passed all 1,819 active tests (four skipped), including that
fixture in 1.85 seconds. Three isolated local probes could not run
correctly because the Rust fake-provider fixture binary was absent;
cleanup masked the original startup failure. CI builds that fixture
through its normal lane. These probes are inconclusive and are not
counted as passes.

## Risks

- This changes accounting, lifecycle, and cancellation ordering. Durable
generations, source/sequence checks, ownership leases, and company
locking remain required for correctness.
- Provider stop acknowledgement can be slow or fail. Stop intent remains
pending until existing termination proof succeeds; cancelled row status
alone does not acknowledge delivery.
- Mid-run limits depend on provider usage reports or supported price
calculations. Providers that report only at completion cannot provide
exact mid-call detection.
- Signals are process-local wake hints for the supported
single-active-writer model. Durable state and startup recovery remain
authoritative.
- There are no migrations, new queue tables, or cached balances. Repeat
the classifier and controlled budget-stop acceptance after normal
rollout.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, tool use, code execution,
and parallel coding agents. The host does not expose the exact backend
model revision or context-window size, so those values are not asserted.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 79b2bf78dd Create agent records when onboarding names are submitted (#17005)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Core onboarding selects an agent and connects its provider account.
> - The current flow creates the agent record after authentication.
> - Setup needs a stable agent identity as soon as the user submits its
name.
> - This PR saves a paused setup record on name submission and finishes
the hire on that same record.
> - The existing sandbox authentication and approval paths continue to
apply.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Core agent lifecycle, shared validators, and onboarding UI.

**Current behavior**

Onboarding creates the database record at the final hire step. Earlier
authentication and saved setup have no agent record.

**Proposed behavior**

Create a paused agent with a setup hold when the user submits its name.
Do this before adapter selection or authentication. Update that same
record after adapter selection. Reuse its ID on retries and saved setup.
Finish that record through the existing hire path.

**Reason and benefit**

Give setup a stable identity without coupling this refactor to computer
provisioning or a new execution backend.

**Breaking changes**

Incomplete setup now leaves an inactive agent record. Existing clients
can still create and hire agents without the new optional fields. The
sandbox authentication flow and API key support remain in place.

**Additional context**

Requested Core-only refactor. Related work: #15422 changes runner
defaults. This PR preserves those choices. No duplicate early-record
refactor was found in the issue and PR search.

## What Changed

- Save the agent when the user submits its name in both onboarding entry
points. Use a provisional adapter until the user chooses one. Reopen
name-only drafts at adapter selection.
- Add retry-safe setup creation and same-record hire completion. Keep
approval checks at final hire.
- Save and restore setup configuration in both onboarding entry points.
Show Finish setup for paused setup agents.
- Restrict setup changes to authorized board users. Block generic resume
until setup finishes.
- Add lifecycle, authorization, connection, and UI coverage. Update the
specification and feature maps.

## Verification

- Latest focused server run: 126 lifecycle and AI-connection tests
passed after the Apex fixes. An earlier broader run passed 301
lifecycle, instruction, adapter-validation, and AI-connection tests.
Earlier authentication, retry, cross-company, and direct-create
regressions also passed.
- Name-save verification: 336 tests across the wizard, naming dialog,
New agent, action-button, and wizard-step suites passed. Coverage
includes retry identity, repeated submission, closing during a save,
saved-model restoration, and a disabled process adapter.
- Shared, server, and UI TypeScript checks passed. The latest UI package
check and direct server TypeScript check passed. The server package
preparation command could not finish locally because Cargo is
unavailable; full build preparation runs in CI. Map checks, token gates,
and `git diff --check` passed; each pushed diff was scanned for
credentials and PII.
- All six onboarding browser tests passed together with installed Chrome
against a fresh throwaway instance after the Apex fixes. They include
numbered duplicate names, first-time Copilot without a connected
account, and Grok’s saved model. They verify early persistence in both
entry points, closing and reopening a name-only draft, same-record
adapter selection, sandbox sign-in, login reload, and failed-connection
gating. Provider responses are simulated; Core persistence is real.
- Regression coverage includes incomplete Copilot creation versus final
validation, Kimi settings through redacted responses, stale local
drafts, company switches during creation, saved environments, and
provider changes with personal/shared old bindings.
- Apex found five name-only setup gaps: numbered names, early Copilot
account validation, the Grok model default, same-name draft ownership,
and provisional runner restoration. The fixes preserve server names,
defer implicit account binding until hire, set Grok’s model, avoid
name-based reuse of unfinished records, and restore Auto for pending
adapter choices. UI, database, and browser regressions cover these
cases.
- Standard Greptile found a Grok provider mismatch in the new adapter
save. The save now uses ACPX with the Grok profile. Both the 129-test
dialog/setup run and a real-API browser regression passed after the fix.
The first browser attempt stopped on an ambiguous empty-roster button
selector; it now scopes the click to the toolbar.
- Moving the save point exposed a saved-model reset and timing
assumptions in the same-name and portal fixtures. The source choice now
preserves the restored model, and tests cover same-name recovery without
a second hire.
- Initial CI exposed direct-create compatibility, concurrent setup
effects, fixture assumptions, and a missing-fields assumption in the
provider-validation guard. These were fixed and verified locally. Review
findings were addressed with authorization, recovery,
credential-persistence, and restored-configuration regressions.
- The final desktop capture passed after host resource cleanup. A repeat
first failed before Core started because macOS had exhausted
shared-memory IDs. Standalone PostgreSQL initialization reproduced the
same error. Releasing only unattached control segments from this task’s
stopped test databases allowed the unchanged revision to pass. No Core
or system setting changed.
- Local database tests required port access outside the sandbox. Missing
declared development dependencies were supplied outside the branch. No
live provider sign-in was tested locally.
- [Full monorepo
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39522434236)
is green on `82b82fec189a172a885d4dd565ae2f4a18c73efc`. Standard
Greptile scored 5/5 with zero new comments (check `118969424903`). The
subsequent Apex review also scored 5/5 with zero new comments (check
`118972866331`) on that same commit. All review threads are resolved.
- The separate Superagent Security scan returned neutral/inconclusive
because its pinned merge-base checkout failed or timed out. GitHub
returned 404 for check and suite rerun requests. This is not a
successful security scan; the CI workflow and other security checks
passed.

## Risks

- Users can leave inactive setup records behind, including after name
submission alone. These records cannot run until hire completes.
- Setup completion touches hiring and approval boundaries. Tests cover
retries, company isolation, creator permissions, and approval snapshots.
- An uncertain credential-save result retains its new secret reference
for retry. A confirmed client rejection removes only credentials staged
by that attempt.
- No schema migration or VM provisioning change is required.
Agent-computer integration is out of scope.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 45b67f1d93 feat: default new Apple Silicon Claude agents to Paperclip Runner (#15993)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets users choose an agent harness and account.
> - The server resolves the runner for new agents.
> - Claude still needs the same ordinary native-default journey as
Codex.
> - Existing agents must retain their runner, model and account.
> - This PR defaults new Apple Silicon Claude agents to Paperclip Runner
with Opus 5.5.
> - Users can connect and work without a runner override.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #15683. This PR depends on #15994 and precedes #15997. Related
scope: #15422, #13978 and #15224.

## What Changed

- Resolve new Apple Silicon Claude agents to `paperclip_runner`,
`provider: acpx`, `acpxAgent: claude`. Keep explicit Legacy, models,
provider routing and saved execution.
- Use `claude-opus-5-5` for ordinary Claude defaults and retain explicit
overrides.
- Reuse existing API-key/subscription connections, credential storage
and checks. Generalize the shared Advanced runner control with Claude
branding.
- Carry configured effort into the shared v9 contract. Preserve
compatible permissions, instructions, skills, timeouts and session
behavior. Require Legacy for unsupported settings.
- Qualify a new immutable managed Claude target at explicit Connect
through the existing permission-gated probe. Use fresh scoped discovery
for test and hire. Discard stale results and require an explicit Connect
after settings change.
- Retain merged Codex onboarding recovery, auth preparation,
import/effort corrections and Grok Bot gates.
- Check the Claude first-task wizard's saved default directly. Update
configuration/runtime documentation and exact Opus 5.5 accounting.

- Align hire fixtures with the merged host-environment restriction.
Native agent-authenticated hires cannot inject host env settings; both
creation endpoints verify that no extra agent is saved.

## Verification

- Updated onto master `9179d8dcc3e908c217fde4f63c9d08ccf8132eeb` through
#15994. Native input v9 carries effort while preserving v7 home modes
and v8 Muse. Codex defaults remain unchanged.
- Focused local verification passed 285 server tests, 323 UI tests, 124
setup/registry tests, and two v9 permission-pin transport cases. Direct
server/UI TypeScript checks passed. An initial 30-second hook timeout
was resolved by serial verification with a longer hook budget: all 122
credential/permission cases and 232 snapshot/environment cases pass.
Direct server TypeScript checking also passes.
- Ordinary web creation with the experiment disabled saved native
Claude, Opus 5.5 and High effort without runner/model overrides. The
actual product task and follow-up both succeeded on integrated source
`b2c9fe43f9cd3bc5dd9d22552da0148845ba71a4` with the cloud-built daemon
from `04e0202ca81387b17cbe7fd094a8338648356fe9`. The final master
reconciliation also changes shared runtime source. Historical proof
retains its source identity; a final-source cloud qualification is
running before refreshing the preview daemon.
- Both actual browser downloads were checked: v1 has three sections/six
checkboxes (451 bytes); v2 preserves the original body and adds two
Rollback checks (612 bytes). The original attachment stayed
byte-identical. The follow-up records session resume and the same
provider session. Total estimated API usage: $0.518432800, with no
pending/unpriced usage in the successful fixture.
- Fixed the live-discovered setup incompatibility: native API-key
validation no longer depends on the global Legacy Claude CLI. The
existing provider endpoint verifies the key without a paid prompt;
subscription/custom routing probes remain intact.
- Fixed security review's native-hire credential redirection:
agent-supplied URLs, proxy/launch settings and other host environment
controls are rejected before inheritance. Native credential references
remain supported and partial edits use the saved harness. Added
create/hire/update regression coverage.
- Current-head cloud CI is green. All three stack PRs have fresh
Greptile 5/5 reviews and zero unresolved review threads. Required
typecheck, test and build gates ran in cloud CI; Docker work stayed
remote. Earlier failed checks remain in their original runs.
- Docker and native release builds ran in cloud infrastructure. An
inadvertent local Rust prerequisite was stopped; no local Docker build
was run.

- The final master merge preserves task-loading, permission,
skill-retention and OpenRouter changes. Pi uses a fresh combined profile
27, preserving both historical profile-24 declarations; Copilot remains
profile 22. Focused protocol checks passed 155 cases (one skipped), the
updated Pi attestation check passed 18 (one skipped), and 91
evaluation/catalog checks passed.

- Latest-application manual continuation passed in 37.942 seconds on
`695e5c005a85bddc8711d3fcddcaf6b7e1fb64d0`, with High effort, native
Opus 5.5, Anthropic API attribution, the same resumed Claude session, an
independently checked 635-byte file and persisted Done status. It uses
the earlier verified Mac daemon; the preceding-source package
qualification passed at `dca62c7aeb4b45f0dd91a8e18d386a16a2658ef8`. That
package run predates the small TypeScript startup fix and is not
relabeled as qualification for it.
- Upgrade limitation: changed compiled sidecar identity rejected old
durable launch state and recovery hit session-open bounds before
eventually resuming. That attempt was operator-cancelled and retained;
the successful manual continuation does not qualify seamless upgrades.

- Local latency profile, Opus 5.5/High unchanged: three alternating
real-ACP loopback samples per variant reduce median provider-ready time
from 5.081s to 4.034s. The matched real API task startup improves from
5.533s to 4.348s, but total reply time changes from 17.933s to 20.221s
because agent work varies. This establishes a startup saving of about
one second, not a consistent total-reply speedup. A real candidate
follow-up passed in 20.146s and resumed the same saved session. The
loopback fixture makes no external model requests; failed initial probes
remain retained.
- The startup change passes 107 focused runtime/effort/lease tests, 53
profile checks (one skipped), TypeScript checking and the
TypeScript-only runtime build. Native hire fixture checks pass 70 tests;
their first local run retained a socket-hangup failure and stale
OpenCode expectation, both accounted for before the passing rerun.
Broader required checks run in cloud CI.

## Risks

- Missing packages, authentication rejection, unsupported settings and
unavailable models must fail explicitly. Existing agents retain saved
execution; explicit runner changes use existing revision/session
invalidation.
- Subscription follow-up remains unverified; remaining live acceptance
uses API keys per human steering. Historical accounting holds and the
separate $50 ceiling remain intact.
- The subscription acceptance limit remains explicit for review. No
Claude database migration is introduced.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution and browser testing. The exact serving model ID and
context-window size are not exposed in this session.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 5f5602bba7 feat(plugins): synchronize standing connection assignments (#16603)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Lifecycle plugins prepare agent runtimes outside the control plane.
> - They need committed connection assignment changes without polling.
> - A reader and its revision hooks must cover the same fields.
> - This pull request adds a bounded standing-assignment snapshot and
its matching hooks.
> - Plugins can react to assignment changes while execution keeps its
existing access checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The agent runtime reader does not expose standing connection
assignments. Changes to connection installs, active profiles, and
connector feature switches do not request synchronization. Adding
company-wide invalidation also exposes lock inversions in assignment
writers and AI adoption.

**Expected behavior**

The owning lifecycle plugin can read a bounded assignment snapshot.
Every committed change to its stored fields advances the runtime
revision. Rollback removes both the change and its event. Assignment
writers finish without a lock-order cycle.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Install a connection or bind an active profile to an agent.
2. Read its runtime inputs through the owning lifecycle plugin.
3. Rename or disable the connection, revoke the assignment, or switch
connector features.
4. Expect a committed runtime event and an updated snapshot without
periodic polling.

**Additional context**

Extracted from #16503. Catalog publication #16602 and the separate test
maintenance PRs #16601 and #16610 are merged. This PR now targets master
and is the active review. Tool-definition hooks #16604 and
access/credential hooks #16605 remain drafts without review requests.

## What Changed

- Add SDK types and an owning-plugin runtime snapshot for installed
connections, active profile IDs, and effective connector feature
switches.
- Reject more than 512 connections or 128 active profiles instead of
returning partial data.
- Add migration 0354 for the exact stored fields used by the snapshot,
with transaction-coalesced invalidation. Agent-targeted bindings and
installs notify only their old/new target agents;
project/routine/issue/gateway bindings are outside the snapshot and
produce no notification.
- Use ordered agent locks that are compatible with foreign-key
references and exclude runtime readers. Prelock complete old/new target
sets before replacing assignments or restoring managed profiles.
- Record one company baseline at delivery startup for process-managed
feature overlays.
- Lock assignment inputs before install saves, task completion, and
email assignment. Setup finalization reads the locked connection state
and prelocks company agents before activating, re-enabling, or reviving
a profile.
- Make profile binding and reassignment writes transactional and lock
parent profiles first. Keep target validation and profile/detail reads
on the reserved transaction connection, including with a one-connection
pool.
- Lock company agents in order before validated AI adoption. Keep
adoption and shared configuration writes at `FOR NO KEY UPDATE`,
avoiding an upgrade that can deadlock foreign-key inserts during gateway
creation. Configuration fields cannot change agent identity; lifecycle
transitions and deletion retain their existing locks.
- Document supported coverage and the inputs reserved for later PRs.

## Verification

- Thirteen affected suites passed: 757 tests covering runtime
hooks/assignments/skills, concurrent skill publication, tool
access/catalog, task connection intents, lifecycle delivery, email, AI
accounts, migration histories, snapshot drift, and the agent lifecycle
module. This includes the merged catalog PR's OAuth and
overlapping-refresh regressions.
- The assignment suite passes all 24 cases, including bounded snapshots,
company/agent isolation, rollback, health-field no-ops, process-start
feature overlays, and real lock contention.
- Four one-connection PostgreSQL regressions reproduce the earlier
helper-read hangs before the correction; bind, unbind, delete, and
reassign complete with it. The earlier adoption/gateway probe exposed
both lock upgrades: changing only validation still deadlocks in shared
configuration. Current scoped coverage verifies adoption with
agent-targeted binding writes; gateway-only bindings no longer
invalidate this snapshot.
- The original ordered-adoption regression reproduces PostgreSQL `40P01`
without ordered company-agent locking. Scoped-recipient tests reproduce
unrelated-peer journaling before the trigger correction and verify
repeated bind/unbind operations leave peers untouched, ignored binding
types produce no events, both reassignment recipients are reached, and
coalescing remains intact.
- Six replacement contention cases cover installs, existing setup,
activation, re-enabling, profile revival, and profile reassignment.
Negative controls reproduce `40P01` without the corresponding
target/company prelocks; all cases pass with the guards. Activation
decisions use the connection row reread under lock.
- An initial contention fixture failed because its settings connection
lacked an MCP URL. Supplying the fixture URL and controlled lookup
corrected that test setup error.
- Server typecheck, database migration numbering/safety, five-snapshot
retention, feature-map structural validation, and `git diff --check`
passed. Migration metadata preserves historical journal entries and adds
no schema change. The complete diff was reviewed for secrets and
personal data before push.
- Earlier hosted PR CI runs 38983440861 and 38985530069 passed; the
superseded promotion run 38983440470 was cancelled. Superagent
acknowledged the recipient fix and accepted the documented company-wide
cost at `359b5b2f30a8a0248177367e458663d5379810d1`. Its two standard
Greptile summaries were conditional on a later setup correction and were
not counted as independent acceptance; the setup correction is now
included here.
- At `7da246aab46274db1a120a0546abbb404c5427c7`, hosted PR run
38986958988 passed: all 55 checks succeeded, with two optional Storybook
checks skipped. Superagent passed, all review threads are resolved, and
standard Greptile independently returned 5/5 with no blocking findings
(review completed 2026-10-17 00:40 UTC). Apex independently returned 5/5
with no actionable findings (completed 2026-10-17 00:50 UTC). CI was
rechecked after Apex and remains green; the branch is mergeable against
master. Full local build and repository-wide tests were not run.

## Risks

Migration 0354 adds database functions and triggers without changing
table schema. Apply it through the normal migration flow. Agent-targeted
bindings and installs only notify their affected agents. Explicit
company-wide assignments, connection metadata, profile
activation/removal, and connector feature switches retain synchronous,
transaction-atomic company fanout. Each such transaction takes ordered
row locks and inserts up to one connector runtime event per eligible
company agent: O(number of eligible agents) work and journal storage,
with no company-size cap or cross-transaction mutation quota. This
remains an intentional scope tradeoff for this PR; deferred fanout is
not implemented. Many of these conservative changes can request
preparation even if an individual snapshot stays unchanged. Snapshot
limits fail closed. This PR provides desired assignments, not
credentials or task authorization. Later PRs must add mutation coverage
before consumers can rely on immediate synchronization of tool
definitions or credentials.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 250429942e fix(agents): report actionable lifecycle failure steps (#16418)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents for work.
> - New agents must pass setup and execution checks before they can run.
> - The lifecycle worker saved the same retry message for every failure.
> - Users could not identify the failed step or correct its
configuration.
> - The UI also described failed work as work still in progress.
> - This pull request names the failed step and gives a safe corrective
action.
> - Users can identify configuration problems and understand automatic
retries.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A new hire showed a paused status and “The lifecycle step failed. Retry
the operation.” Repeated retries did not explain the failure. A
successful retry cleared the original error. This change cannot recover
an error that an older server already cleared.

**Expected behavior**

Name the failed setup step. Give a useful action for known execution
test failures. Explain automatic retry. Keep provider output and
credentials out of lifecycle errors.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a disposable agent with an unavailable model or invalid
execution command.
2. Open its profile while verification fails.
3. Inspect the error, correct the configuration, and select Retry now.
4. Confirm that the failure disappears after the agent becomes ready.

Related change: https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/16155
shows pending setup progress in creation and assignment. This change
improves the cause and action shown when setup fails.

## What Changed

- Save the failed lifecycle phase and step in the existing lifecycle
error field.
- Classify authentication, model, command, directory, timeout, and
response failures from execution test check codes.
- Use fixed error messages. Do not retain raw provider messages, check
details, or credentials.
- Share the allowed failure codes with the lifecycle log.
- Show failed-state labels and automatic retry guidance. Rename Retry to
Retry now.
- Extend worker, database, and UI regression coverage. Update the agent
verification maps.

## Verification

- Passed 105 focused tests across lifecycle diagnostics, database
lifecycle commands, saved harness verification, and
AgentLifecycleStatus.
- Passed server TypeScript compilation with `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/server exec tsc --noEmit`.
- Passed UI typecheck and production build.
- Passed module boundary checks, token gates, character sync, map
validation, and `git diff --check`.
- Used Playwright to inspect the production component with a simulated
model failure. Confirmed the failure text, retry guidance, retry
callback, and recovered state. Captured a screenshot. This component
check does not prove a live provider run.
- Attempted `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build`. Both require Rust
cargo, which is not installed in the local execution environment.
- Started `pnpm test:run` locally. No final local suite result was
recorded before handoff. The complete PR CI workflow passed.
- Passed all latest-commit CI gates, including typecheck, build, general
and serialized tests, Rust checks, and all eight browser test shards:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38726198774
- Greptile scored the latest commit 5/5 with no findings. There are no
review threads to resolve.

## Risks

- Failure classification depends on existing adapter check codes.
Unknown codes use a safe fallback message.
- A known code can describe only the checks reported by the adapter.
- No database migration is required. The error field remains a string.
- Retry schedules, leases, readiness, approvals, and budget controls
keep their current behavior.
- Full build verification requires a runner with Rust cargo.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex. Used reasoning, code editing, browser
checks, and tool execution. The runtime does not expose the exact
deployment ID or context window.

DottaandPaperclip adb69e8f09 feat: default new Codex agents to Paperclip Runner on Linux and macOS (#15683)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source control plane for agent companies.
> - People choose a harness when creating an agent.
> - The server should resolve that harness to a qualified runner.
> - Codex is the first harness in the staged default rollout.
> - Saved agents must retain their execution choices.
> - New Codex agents therefore use Paperclip Runner on qualified
macOS/Linux targets, with an explicit Legacy override.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #16028, #15555, #15673, #15422, #15631, #15926, #15932, #16149.

The runtime/install prerequisite and release repair are merged. This
slice owns Codex creation, setup, configuration and preservation. Other
harness defaults remain unchanged. It adds no database migration;
incoming master migrations, required maps and regression coverage are
retained.

## What Changed

- Resolve `runner: auto | paperclip | legacy` at the common creation
boundary across onboarding, API/CLI, hires, built-ins, plugins and
imports. Freeze pending hires and export resolved execution choices.
- Preserve existing runners on upgrades, unrelated edits and import
updates, including compatible accounts, workspace settings, Codex effort
and intentional clears.
- Use the underlying harness picker and branding; put the runner
override in Advanced. Use the shared dropdown and update
production-component stories and creation contracts.
- Support qualified Apple Silicon, Intel Mac, Linux x64 and Linux ARM64.
Linux requires GNU libc 2.39+. Disabled, external, unsupported and
unqualified combinations retain their applicable Legacy execution.
- Test the selected runtime/account/model/environment. Ordinary Connect
probes eligible immutable managed targets and refreshes scoped
discovery. Creation/discovery do not provision. Auth, dependency,
incompatible-setting and cleanup failures remain actionable without
changing runners.
- Keep setup probes read-only, preserve local/SSH isolation and resolve
packaged assets before staging credentials. Bound cleanup reads by the
remaining absolute deadline; physically close every owned ingress socket
before endpoint release. Unconfirmed cleanup retains recovery state.
- Preserve validated completed-onboarding callbacks through startup
recovery. First file-producing work belongs to the child task and uses
the existing dependency/block handoff and task-scoped registration.
- Reuse existing E2E fixtures, artifact checks, reporting and controls.
Keep Docker/Cargo/native compilation remote. Paperclip tarballs contain
no Codex payloads; official optional npm platform dependencies remain.

## Verification

Current tested head: `1c03a8815672d82c264a9b08d4ea1984e8fae107`.
**Merge-ready: required CI, fresh review, package qualification, Mac
core acceptance and Test task/follow-up acceptance pass.** The existing
attachment and native-continuity oracles independently verify both Test
downloads, run attribution and unchanged native/provider/workspace
identities. The maintainer authorized a code-owner-review exception for
this PR only. The first Test setup failure and normal Board
completion-review friction are retained below. Actual post-merge
packages and private Cloud distribution remain separate qualification
gates.

- [Current
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38564241625):
all 48 ordinary jobs and required verify/E2E pass. Attempt 1 retained
six simultaneous host-shutdown cancellations. One failed-only retry
passes those six lanes and two aggregates, preserving 40 successes.
Actual integration checkout `53104c1` combines this head with master
`c80`; it is not relabeled as the branch tree. Fresh exact-head Greptile
5/5, 30 resolved threads, no actionable findings.
- [Exact-source package
qualification](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38565287239):
nine applicable jobs pass, nine conditional jobs skip. Four remote
native producers; Linux x64 clean install; Intel Mac, Apple Silicon and
Linux ARM64 native startup/physical cleanup controls. All 18
tarballs/four daemon source/hash/manifest bindings and 343 migrations
through 0344 verify. No Codex payload is packed. These hosted tarballs
are not a published npm canary.
- Normal Apple Silicon installation and credential-free native
startup/cleanup pass using the packaged daemon, with no source build or
provider turn. Fresh installed DB initialization passes. Upgrade
651a→1c03 preserves all three complete execution configs, accounts, ten
recorded run profiles, paused budgets, active incidents, cost summaries
and two historical unpriced events. Historical recovery state is
retained.
- Cleanup regressions: four delayed-read baseline failures become 15
passing deadline/authority controls. No-acknowledgement and prior-error
socket ownership regressions become 12 passing controls. Direct
runtime/server types, maps: 35 areas / 176 IDs, diff checks and
independent reviews pass. Permission/auth/reconnect policy and the
10-second setup budget remain intact.
- Existing source coverage includes creation/selection/imports, pending
approvals, recovery, account/lifecycle handling, mounted forms,
dropdowns and E2E support. Full typechecks/tests/build/token and
applicable Storybook checks pass in the recorded current CI; no
duplicate suite or weakened grader.
- Literal 9546 live Mac proof: ordinary Auto Codex onboarding, useful
document, real completed-child callback/reply, seven successful native
runs, manual follow-up and independently downloaded1,101-byte child
file. Existing Legacy title edit/reload preserves execution; two real
Legacy runs produce independently checked15/34-byte files. These remain
historical source records.
- Current literal 1c03 Mac core acceptance passes independent checks:
ordinary Auto native Codex onboarding without runner override; only
timeout 180 seconds/concurrency 1 saved; six successful native runs and
six serialized turns (maximum overlap 1); both same-task continuity
checks and five mechanical callback checks; actual rendered parent reply
and exact child downloads. The useful handoff advances from revision 1
to 2. Both files are 48 bytes, SHA-256
`8b742bd4e8123a7c078f0a8d9f3449fbfa8a320d7d90be641a2818db3c53d92c` and
`f42db9774fa06e804ab7d596fc8b922a2b638921c418b87d0111151d290a6afe`;
exactly one byte changes and old history remains. The agent is paused
with zero active runs/errors. Both artifact work products have
`isPrimary=false`, and descriptive titles fail a stricter title-helper
assumption; these retained results are scoped editorial follow-up, not
new merge gates. Six source-bound screenshots are uploaded and verified
in the private primary QA report.
- [Literal 9546 managed
proof](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-38485488621-1/index.html):
original 19 assertions and completed judge pass, four native turns,
child-bound240-byte file and session/workspace continuity. Checkout
reports a verified generated target-lock mutation; full final porcelain
was not retained. Signed execution-image identity remains separate from
Core source.
- Actual 651a Test deployment succeeds on one owned/pinned target. One
ordinary Auto API-key Connect then fails native cleanup before hire.
Controller turn/drain/suspend completion and service-recorded
environment cleanup are observed; they do not certify physical deletion
or native authority retirement. Failure/recovery/unknown holds are
retained. No Legacy switch or unchanged paid retry. The two source
repairs above require actual treatment.
- [Current immutable Core
preview](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38570365725)
and matching DB/shared artifacts pass. One owned, pinned Test target
serves exact `1c03`; identical migration history correctly skips the
migrator. Ordinary Auto Codex Connect succeeds and hires native; saved
native selection and QA bounds survive reload. The initial child
preparation attempt fails before provider work, with actual stdout
identifying `renewal_deadline`; its trigger remains unknown and the
failure is retained. Normal Board **Try again** and **Resume** recover
the child to Done, producing a browser-verified 44-byte file, SHA-256
`0a8458b1efcc2d7a0d815689458c4caab039a46c7c7a3e5805de6bc8b1a96ecc`. The
actual parent callback reports the completed child document/file. The
existing validator requires a parent-owned attachment, so recovery
enters normal Review; after byte checking, normal **Approve completion**
reaches parent Done. No forced status or duplicate parent file is used.
The validator is unchanged from integrated and current master.
Autonomous initial callback-to-Done is not proven. The same-child
follow-up completes document revision 2 and publishes a second
independently downloaded 44-byte file, SHA-256
`22022257300fae762784632d08d3bbe0bab61e2ce81f91864a14dcd7aa464591`; only
the revision digit changes. The unchanged existing native-continuity and
attachment oracles pass. All ten recorded runs are terminal: nine native
successes and the retained pre-provider setup failure. The QA agent is
paused with zero active runs. The pre-existing parent evidence scope
mismatch is a separate follow-up, with ordinary completion review
exercised rather than a forced status or relaxed validation. This
unsigned Core preview remains distinct from post-merge private Cloud
composition.

## Risks

- Saved agents are not migrated. Explicit runner changes use normal
configuration/session rules; historical runs retain their recorded
execution.
- Native readiness depends on verified assets and server-owned target
qualification. A Legacy probe, HTTP200 or successful account save cannot
prove native readiness.
- Recovery exceptions remain restricted to validated
completed-onboarding reports; process-loss, ownership and terminal-state
safeguards remain active. Unexecuted live journeys stay open.
- Linux ARM paid tasks, Windows, Alpine and 32-bit ARM remain deferred.
Cold Cargo cache misses are recorded; no warm-cache speedup is claimed.
- Historical invoices/physical cleanup remain unconfirmed and held.
After merge, exact published npm canary, signed standard image/migrator,
private composition and serving/live acceptance still require
qualification. Production deployment/default promotion is not
authorized.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, tools, code execution and
parallel agents. Exact serving snapshot and context-window size are not
exposed.

ba4fac585d feat(agents): show who created an agent in shared companies (#16055)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A company in Paperclip can have more than one human member, and each
member can create agents
> - The app does not record which person created an agent
> - When two or more people share a company, members cannot see who
added an agent or who to ask about it
> - This pull request records the creator of each agent and shows the
creator on the agent Overview tab
> - The benefit is clear ownership of agents in shared companies, with
no change for single-user companies

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists. This description follows `feature_request.yml`.

**Subsystem affected**

Agents: the agent data model, the agent create path on the server, and
the agent Overview tab in the board UI.

**Problem or motivation**

Paperclip does not record which human user created an agent. When more
than one human user works in a company, the agent page does not tell
members who created the agent.

**Proposed solution**

Record the user ID of the creator when a human creates an agent. Show
"Created by <name>" on the Identity card of the agent Overview tab. Show
this row only when the company has two or more human members. Do not
count the synthetic local Board principal as a human member. Do not show
the local Board as a creator.

**Alternatives considered**

Count human users across the full instance. We did not do this. An
instance-wide count tells a member of one company that other companies
have users. The creator is always a member of the agent's company, so
the company count is sufficient.

**Roadmap alignment**

`ROADMAP.md` has no item for agent ownership. This change is small and
additive.

## What Changed

- Add the nullable column `agents.created_by_user_id`
(`packages/db/src/schema/agents.ts`, migration `0343_new_mentor.sql`).
- Set the column in the single agent insert path
(`server/src/modules/agent-lifecycle/adapters/records.ts`). The value
comes from the authenticated user actor. The server ignores a creator
value in the request body. Agents that agents or the system create keep
`null`.
- Backfill existing agents in the migration. The backfill uses the
earliest `agent.created` or `agent.hire_created` activity row that a
user actor wrote in the same company.
- Add `createdByUserId` to the shared `Agent` type
(`packages/shared/src/types/agent.ts`).
- Add `ui/src/lib/agent-creator.ts`. It decides if the UI shows the
creator row and it resolves the creator name. If the creator left the
company, the row shows "Former member".
- Add the "Created by" row to the Identity card in
`ui/src/pages/AgentDetail.tsx`. If the company user directory request
fails, the row shows "Could not load creator". The row does not
disappear silently.
- Add the Storybook story `Pages/Agent Detail → Shared Company Shows
Creator`.
- Document the column in `doc/SPEC-implementation.md` §7.2.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db typecheck` passes. This includes the
migration numbering and migration safety checks.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck` passes.
- `ui`: `tsc --noEmit` passes.
- `server`: `vitest run
src/modules/agent-lifecycle/__tests__/lifecycle.test.ts` passes (49/49).
Two new tests:
- The server records the creator from the actor and ignores a creator
value in the request body.
- The backfill takes the earliest user activity row. It skips agent
actors and rows from other companies.
- `server`: `vitest run src/__tests__/built-in-agents.test.ts` passes
(40/40). A new test checks that a built-in agent enabled by a human
records that human, and that automatic provisioning stays unattributed.
The gated (pending-approval) provisioning test also asserts the creator.
`src/__tests__/built-in-agent-routes.test.ts` also passes.
- `ui`: `vitest run src/lib/agent-creator.test.ts
src/pages/AgentOverview.test.tsx` passes (10/10). The tests cover these
cases: the row shows with two or more humans, the row stays hidden with
one human plus the Board, the UI never shows the Board as the creator,
the row shows an error when the directory request fails, and the row
stays hidden (no error) for agents with no creator or the Board as
creator. The last case fails without the fix.
- The current Storybook catalog uses source annotations and generated
indexes. `node scripts/storybook-catalog.mjs --check` passes (264 story
files, 2,514 stories). The merge keeps the authored catalog deletion
from master.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` is clean.
- Screenshots from the Storybook story (fake data: two human members,
Alice Admin and Bob Builder, plus the local Board). The red "Could not
load public key" text is a Storybook artifact: the story has no fixture
for the public key request. The existing `Dashboard` story shows the
same text.

  **Two or more human members: the Identity card shows "Created by".**

![Identity card with the Created by
row](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/paperclipai/paperclip/9b62bd2ea6cf984ce6745f08cc45f44ddf00fb51/pr-16055/identity-created-by.png)

  **One human member plus the local Board: the row stays hidden.**

row](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/paperclipai/paperclip/9b62bd2ea6cf984ce6745f08cc45f44ddf00fb51/pr-16055/identity-single-human.png)

The images are on the separate branch `pr-assets/agent-created-by`. They
are not in this PR and do not go to `master`.
- Manual check: open Storybook at `Pages/Agent Detail → Shared Company
Shows Creator`. The Identity card shows "Created by Alice Admin". The
`Dashboard` story has one human, so it does not show the row.
- Final focused verification on
`5a02350cf16050a3cf3cb3f8dc061fe61758c60d`: all 99 tests pass across the
two UI suites, built-in-agent suite, and lifecycle suite. The backfill
test applies the complete migration twice. The migration uses `ADD
COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS` and preserves the company-scoped backfill.
Migration numbering and token checks pass.
- Full repository typecheck, build, and Storybook build pass. The
generated creator story ID is present. A Chromium check renders the
production agent page fixture and verifies the creator row and Alice
Admin name. Map checks and their 21 tests pass. A fresh Apex review is
5/5 on the current head with no unresolved findings. All 54 successful
CI checks pass on this head, with two intentional skips, including all
general and serialized test shards, E2E, typecheck, and build. The
workspaces-b job passed after rerunning a runner shutdown; no source
change was needed. The separate, unsharded local `pnpm test:run`
invocation has not completed; complete suite verification comes from CI.

## Risks

- Migration: the migration adds one nullable column and runs one
`UPDATE` on `agents` with a correlated subquery on `activity_log`. On an
instance with a very large activity log, the backfill can take some
time. The migration does not lock other tables and does not delete data.
- Backfill accuracy: agents with no user-authored create activity row
keep `null`. The UI then does not show a creator. This is the same as
the current behavior.
- Privacy: the row shows only names from the company user directory, and
only to users who can already see that directory.
- Low risk for single-user companies: the UI does not change for them.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip da9af67415 Persist agent-owned instance secrets through lifecycle results (#16191)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip coordinates agents and controls when they can run.
> - Lifecycle plugins prepare and remove resources for each agent.
> - Those resources can require private connection credentials.
> - The current SDK can resolve configured secrets but cannot save these
credentials securely.
> - Ordinary company secrets can be bound to agents and do not provide
the required server-only boundary.
> - This change saves agent-owned instance secrets through the existing
local lifecycle result and native secret service.
> - The tenant can retain runtime credentials through restarts without a
separate encryption system or remote API.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Agent lifecycle, plugin contract, and native secret storage.

**Problem or motivation**

Lifecycle plugins need to save private runtime connection details for
the owning agent. Worker memory loses these details on restart. Plugin
state and company secrets do not provide a private runtime-only
boundary.

**Proposed solution**

Add optional instance-secret changes to lifecycle results. Save them
through the existing secret service and local encrypted provider before
accepting the result. Require company, agent, plugin, phase, operation,
revision, and current unexpired attempt ownership. Supply saved values
through the existing local preparation/resume request.

**Alternatives considered**

A separate encrypted store duplicates the native secret system. Generic
plugin company-secret writes proposed by #5007 do not supply agent
ownership or a server-only secret scope. This change does not add that
general write API.

**Roadmap alignment**

Extends the existing lifecycle contract from #15631. It does not add a
resource provider or select an execution backend.

## What Changed

- Add an instance scope to native secrets with mandatory agent/plugin
ownership, a company-qualified agent foreign key, and key uniqueness per
owner. Existing company and user scopes retain their constraints.
- Reuse native creation, rotation, deletion, secret versions, access
audit, and the local encrypted provider. Keep values out of company
catalogs, normal bindings, agent access, and public agent records.
- Accept local secret patches only after locking and checking the
current lifecycle operation and required plugin selection. Storage
failure or a stale reply cannot complete setup. Expired or replaced
attempt owners cannot overwrite a successor's credentials.
- Keep vault-import conflicts company-scoped. Protect instance-owned
account-home paths during failed device-login cleanup with a private,
fail-closed scan.
- Skip decryption on stop and cleanup so a lost key cannot block
removal. Cascade secret records when their agent or plugin is deleted.
- Log fixed provider diagnostics without raw errors that can contain
credentials. Document the local contract, runtime resolver, and
access-map exclusions. Retain the five latest migration snapshots
through the normal generator pruning.

## Verification

- 239 focused tests passed across agent-instance-secrets, lifecycle,
secrets-service, secrets-routes, plugin-secrets-handler, and
agent-device-login-routes. Used disposable PostgreSQL 18 clusters
through the existing test constructor seam because the bundled binary
cannot start on this macOS host. The temporary harness is outside git.
- Regression tests reproduced the vault-import conflict and missed
cleanup claimant before the fixes; both pass after the fixes.
- New coverage includes encrypted native versions, rotation, restart
recovery, company/agent/plugin isolation, ordinary-read and binding
denial, stale replies, storage failure, safe logging, cleanup without
the master key, and same-name secret isolation, native account-home
mutation guards, lease takeover/expiry, and live agent/plugin deletion
cascades.
- Direct server TypeScript check, DB/shared typechecks, migration
numbering/safety checks, module boundaries, and git diff check passed.
- Full workspace typecheck and build were attempted; both stop at the
missing local cargo toolchain. The full test command was started and
stopped after failures in unchanged native-runtime/workspace suites plus
bundled-PostgreSQL skips; it did not complete. CI must verify the full
toolchain paths.
- Current head `c0f8bfd12477ad509252ecd40e168a6c84dbeb36`: all 55 CI
checks passed, including the previously canceled e2e shard. Greptile
Apex reviewed this exact head at 5/5 with no unresolved threads. GitHub
reports the branch mergeable and clean.
- No live provider probe, production data access, or deployment.
Reviewed the diff for credentials, private references, and run
artifacts.

## Risks

Apply migration 0339_luxuriant_iron_monger.sql before deploying tenant
code. It adds nullable ownership columns, a partial unique index,
foreign keys, and a stricter scope constraint. Existing rows remain
valid. Keep the schema on application rollback. Preserve the existing
secrets master key through deployments and backup restoration.

The lifecycle request/result now has a sensitive, server-only field.
Plugins must never log it or return it to an agent or browser. Values
stay in the tenant database through the existing encryption provider.
Trusted runtime consumers must apply normal execution admission before
resolving them. Older hosts omit instanceSecrets; plugins that require
durable storage must reject those hosts.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 via Codex, with reasoning, repository inspection, code
editing, and local test execution. The exact serving model identifier
and context window are not exposed in this session.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

**Paperclip version or commit**

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

**Deployment mode**

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

| Order | Variant | Send → visible Hi | Created → execution | Observed
ready → execution | Outcome |
| --- | --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | --- |
| 1 | Before | 62.66 s | 23.467 s | 2.830 s | Succeeded |
| 2 | After | >180 s | 14.200 s | Within polling resolution | Provider
health SIGKILL |
| 3 | After | >180 s | 13.877 s | Within polling resolution | Provider

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

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

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

Post-rebase validation at `c590770dcc2bb1debce14037935a7031e5c3c1ac`:

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

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

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

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

</details>

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

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #15631

**Subsystem affected**

Required plugin lifecycle work and the agent detail page.

**Problem or motivation**

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

**Proposed solution**

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

**Alternatives considered**

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Problem or motivation**

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

**Proposed solution**

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

**Alternatives considered**

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

**Roadmap alignment**

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

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

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

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

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

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

## Risks

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

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

## Model Used

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