DottaandPaperclip 2ec82c5774 fix(runner): preserve task context when tool connections change (#14963)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents use tools through company-scoped connections and provider
sessions.
> - Resolving a tool connection currently forces a fresh session even
when the provider can load new tools into the existing conversation.
> - A fresh provider conversation can receive too little history to
continue the task.
> - This pull request adds explicit tool-refresh capabilities and uses
them in both runner paths.
> - Fresh attempts receive bounded task history with source IDs and
retrieval instructions.
> - The benefit is that agents can continue the same task after a
connection changes.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A resolved tool connection forced a fresh provider conversation. The new
conversation could lose the original goal and prior answers. Claude also
rejected resume when only the MCP server set changed.

**Expected behavior**

Resume the provider conversation when its harness can refresh tools.
When a fresh session is required, supply enough bounded history to
continue the task. Preserve company, agent, task, workspace, model,
instruction, and skill checks.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a conversation and agree on a task and its constraints.
2. Request and connect a tool needed for the task.
3. Continue the conversation after the connection resolves.
4. Check that the agent remembers the task and can use the new tool.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The bug was reproduced on master at `c46e41e81`. This branch is rebased
on current master.

**Deployment mode**

Self-hosted server. Both legacy adapters and the native runner are
affected.

Related public work: Refs #13282 for task-backed conversations. Refs
#13057 for the broader session-compaction proposal. Refs #14659 for
another report about local CLI session continuity. This change fixes
tool-connection continuation. Provider authentication repairs keep their
existing recovery behavior.

## What Changed

- Expose tool-refresh support in native harness descriptors and legacy
adapter metadata.
- Request tool refresh after connection resolution. Keep provider
authentication repair as a fresh-session wake.
- Reload current tools and credentials while retaining supported Claude,
Codex, Grok, and other provider conversations.
- Allow MCP-only changes during qualified native recovery. Keep all
other compatibility checks.
- Refresh managed-provider and ACPX tool bindings when attaching a new
run.
- Add a fresh-session handoff for both runner paths. Bound database
reads, excerpts, and the final packet to 24,000 bytes.
- Include the original request, recent messages, decisions, plans, prior
answers, and source IDs. Mark omitted content. Apply reset boundaries,
wake cutoffs, quarantine, and secret redaction.
- Add regression tests and document the capabilities and handoff
behavior.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed. Rust formatting passed.
- Final review fixes passed 314 server tests, 333 adapter utility tests,
139 native-session runtime tests, and 12 managed-provider Rust tests.
They verify historical quarantine, raised budgets across attachment, no
history reads on successful resume, and handoff delivery on fresh retry.
- Broader branch verification also passed 1,401 adapter utility tests,
1,047 runner TypeScript tests, 43 Grok adapter tests, and 311 Rust core
tests.
- Live Claude CLI and Grok ACP probes preserved the provider session ID,
recalled a prior task constraint, and called a newly added read-only MCP
tool.
- GitHub CI passed on `b21486d18084a7aa4cafbe8e012f7cad6585d9cc`: 55
successful checks and 4 skipped checks. This includes all test shards,
all eight browser shards, runner checks, and the Grok clean public npm
install canary. [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37057514976).
- A full local test attempt encountered a separate Git snapshot timeout.
All affected local suites passed after the final edits, and the full CI
test gates passed.
- Review the capability matrix in `packages/paperclip-runner/README.md`.
Repeat the four reproduction steps with a supported provider and with an
unsupported harness.

## Risks

- Provider tool refresh can fail. Existing recovery falls back to a
fresh conversation where policy permits it.
- A new transport can replace an old process while preserving the
provider conversation. Tests cover current credentials and unchanged
identity.
- Long history can omit older context. Explicit markers and source IDs
let the agent retrieve needed context within task scope.
- Unknown and unqualified harnesses use the fresh-session path. No
database migration is required.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with reasoning, tool use, code execution, and live
provider testing. The exact model ID and context-window size are not
exposed in this session. Claude and Grok also ran as test subjects.

DottaandPaperclip 408f70e69f fix(runner): preserve stock Codex base instructions (#14920)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The native Runner connects Paperclip tasks to Codex app-server.
> - Paperclip passed its runtime context as `baseInstructions`.
> - That field replaces the stock Codex base prompt.
> - This pull request sends the same Paperclip context as additive
developer instructions.
> - Codex keeps its stock prompt and still receives Paperclip task
instructions and tools.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The native Codex driver and Rust provider sent Paperclip context through
`baseInstructions` on thread start and resume. Codex used this text in
place of its stock base instructions. Direct-chat resume also sent an
empty replacement base. The Runner Lab session path used the same
replacement field.

**Expected behavior**

Codex should retain its stock base prompt. Paperclip should add its
runtime context through `developerInstructions`. Other provider facades
should retain their current instruction handling.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a native Codex session through Paperclip Runner.
2. Inspect the `thread/start` request in the native provider trace.
3. Resume the session and inspect `thread/resume`.
4. Before this fix, these paths set `baseInstructions`. After this fix,
the Codex paths set `developerInstructions` and omit `baseInstructions`.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced against master at `cad26c6bfb736039c8ed5743da650a44792a083c`.

**Deployment mode**

Built from source. Native Codex app-server and runnerd paths. A local
protocol probe used codex-cli 0.153.4 and a localhost Responses stub.

No duplicate fix or matching public issue was found in the GitHub
search.

## What Changed

- Send additive developer instructions on Codex start and resume in the
TypeScript driver, Rust provider, and Runner Lab session path.
- Carry the additive fragment through runnerd, including runtime asset
path mapping.
- Preserve existing instruction fields for other provider facades,
including OpenCode.
- Add start/resume/direct-chat regression coverage and check the actual
Rust provider request.
- Document the historical option and trace field names. Record progress
and follow-ups in the working checklist.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm build` — passed.
- Targeted Codex driver lifecycle, driver, and live-session Vitest
suites — 139 tests passed.
- `cargo test --manifest-path
packages/paperclip-runner/runner/Cargo.toml --locked -p
paperclip-runner-core --test codex_provider` — 91 passed, 2 ignored
subprocess helpers.
- Real app-server probe: a localhost Responses stub captured identical
14,732-character stock base instructions on fresh start and cold resume.
Both requests retained the Paperclip marker in developer input. Both
stub turns completed. No paid inference was used.
- Runnerd transport Vitest suite — 182 tests passed.
- The initial `pnpm test:run` attempt reported local dependency-loading,
embedded PostgreSQL startup, and macOS `/var` versus `/private/var` path
failures. It was stopped after those failures. Loading-suite reruns
passed 1,428 tests after the build; native interaction/finalization
reruns passed 38 tests. A seven-suite diagnostic rerun passed 463 tests
and isolated the remaining path and PostgreSQL setup failures.
- With `TMPDIR=/private/tmp`, workspace, gateway, interaction, and
attachment suites passed all 356 tests. The remaining environment-image
and native-session-resumption suites passed all 44 tests with the same
canonical temp path. All affected suites passed on rerun. The original
full local command was stopped after failures and is not claimed as
passing.
- All 55 PR checks passed at `83281439456181396f3707eecda5d2ebc90bd14d`.
Greptile scored 5/5 with no open review threads.
- No paid live campaign or Product E2E browser suite was run. This
change has protocol and regression coverage; it does not claim improved
task quality.

## Risks

- Stock Codex behavior may differ from behavior under the previous
Paperclip replacement prompt. Restoring that behavior is the intended
change.
- Existing Codex threads retain their saved replacement base prompt.
They need a provider session reset to receive the stock base. This PR
does not reset active sessions or alter recovery rules.
- The legacy `baseInstructions` option and trace field names remain for
compatibility. They now describe the additive Paperclip fragment for
Codex.
- The separate Codex-through-ACP dependency patch remains a follow-up in
the harness coverage checklist. This PR covers native app-server
execution.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 94e8dec56b fix(runner): preserve tool outcomes through shutdown and restart (#14734)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The runner sends authorized tool calls to the server and saves their
results.
> - A provider turn can stop while a server write is still running.
> - The old shutdown path invented a failed result that could conflict
with the real result.
> - Truncated execution input and incomplete recovery records made the
failure harder to diagnose.
> - This pull request preserves exact inputs and actual outcomes through
shutdown and restart.
> - Tests force the race and crash boundaries so safe retries do not
repeat writes.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Stopping a turn during a server tool call could record a false failure,
then reject the actual result as a conflict. The diagnostic input
formatter could truncate instruction content before execution. A crash
during saved-result delivery could leave that delivery permanently
indeterminate. Cleanup could hide the first failure, and a retry could
overwrite earlier run logs.

**Expected behavior**

Keep dispatched tools pending until their actual result is known.
Preserve accepted input bytes. Accept identical result delivery without
failing the task. Reject conflicting results with enough evidence to
diagnose them. Recover saved-result delivery without repeating the
business operation.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Hold an instruction update at the filesystem commit barrier.
2. Stop its provider turn before the server returns the result.
3. Release the write, deliver its result, and replay the same result.
4. Repeat with a restart before and after the delivery receipt is saved.
5. Check that there is one write and one audit row, and that the exact
result survives.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The change was developed from `44736c9c7` and rebased onto `0e5830887`.

**Deployment mode**

Self-hosted server with the native runner. Tests use local runner
processes, scripted providers, and PostgreSQL.

Related work: #12353 added durable semantic tool receipts; #12384 added
durable Codex tool recovery; #12404 bound semantic tools to ACPX
sessions. #14633 covers separate native-provider cancellation and
qualification work. This PR addresses server semantic-tool outcomes and
their durable delivery. No duplicate fix was found. AgentMail discovery
is outside this PR.

## What Changed

- Close turn admission without inventing results for dispatched tools.
Keep pending calls and accept late actual results.
- Accept identical result replay with a diagnostic warning. Include call
identity and both result hashes in real conflict errors.
- Preserve exact execution arguments. Reject prohibited or oversized
input before dispatch. Keep diagnostic previews redacted and bounded.
- Commit instruction-attempt evidence before the filesystem write. Save
completed mutation receipts so concurrent and restarted duplicates
return the first result. Recheck authorization before replay. An attempt
without a completed result stays unknown and cannot execute again.
Definite pre-write failures save and replay their original error without
another write.
- Recover an interrupted saved-result delivery only for backends with
durable result receipts. Never replay an ordinary business operation
with an unknown outcome.
- Preserve the initiating error when cleanup also fails. Record
incomplete settlement evidence. Propagate typed unknown-outcome errors
through the native tool wrapper without creating a false completed tool
result.
- Append run-log attempts and restore the durable log before appending
after local file loss. Reject incomplete restores. Publish a restored
prefix only if the destination is absent so concurrent attempts cannot
overwrite new lines.
- Add deterministic race, crash, replay, authorization, exact-content,
and log-restoration tests. Document their assertions in
`packages/paperclip-runner/docs/durable-recovery.md`.

## Verification

- Current head: `7e088f4c7fba8ebabf98ae95485a5753b013d489`. All 55
applicable checks pass; four conditional/manual checks are skipped. This
includes build, typecheck, Rust, both runner TypeScript shards, server
and workspace tests, all eight browser shards, isolated runner
compilation, and the clean-install release dry run. [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36746101110).
- Greptile reviewed this exact head at 5/5 with zero new findings. All
three earlier review threads are resolved.
- Focused local verification includes 11 instruction integration tests,
23 surrounding authority/tool tests, 26 run-log tests, and 169
controller/driver tests. The post-rebase controller/transport/runtime
selection passed 415 tests. The full Rust release suite passed 617 tests
with two ignored. The real-process SIGKILL recovery test passed three
consecutive runs.
- The fault matrix in
`packages/paperclip-runner/docs/durable-recovery.md` uses explicit
barriers, real PostgreSQL rollback, durable journal reloads, and killed
runner processes. It covers late results, identical and conflicting
replay, exact long content, concurrent log restoration, lost commit
acknowledgements, and definite failure replay after the original CAS
base becomes valid again. No paid model calls are needed.
- Full local recursive typecheck and build passed during implementation.
Server typecheck and the runner TypeScript build passed after the review
fixes. The broad local repository test run was stopped after repeated
database startup timeouts. Four timing/launch failures in an earlier
broad runner run passed focused reruns without changed assertions or
timeouts. These are local verification limitations; the complete
current-head CI suite is green. An earlier CI workspace job received an
infrastructure shutdown signal; its current-head replacement passed.

## Risks

- A stopped turn can remain blocked when a dispatched operation has no
proven result. The system does not guess its outcome or rerun its
effect.
- Conflicting results still fail settlement. Existing failed or
conflicting journals are not repaired automatically.
- Accepted semantic input is limited to 480 KiB of encoded JSON to fit
the encrypted transport. Larger input fails before execution.
- Instruction filesystem writes and database receipts are not one atomic
storage operation. A separately committed attempt and audit record
survive rollback. An attempt without a completed success or definite
pre-write failure receipt remains blocked as an unknown outcome. It is
not replayed or reported as success.
- Run-log restoration now reads the durable object before appending when
the local log is missing. Failed or incomplete reads reject the append.
- No schema migration, dependency change, workflow change, or AgentMail
change is included.

## Model Used

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

da887ea3e9 fix(runner): honor Codex effort selected in composer (#14568)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents that work on assigned tasks.
> - The task composer lets a person choose an assignee, model, and
effort for the next run.
> - A Paperclip Runner agent can use Codex as its provider.
> - The composer hid Codex effort for that agent because it checked only
the older Codex adapter.
> - The native Runner input also did not carry an effort choice to
Codex.
> - This pull request carries the chosen effort from the composer to
each Codex turn.
> - People can now select a supported effort and get the effort they
selected.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #14322

**What happened?**

The composer showed a model but no effort slider when the assignee used
Paperclip Runner with the Codex provider. A task-level model override
also did not reach the native Runner input.

**Expected behavior**

The composer shows effort choices for a known Codex model. The next
native Codex turn uses the selected model and effort.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Open a task composer.
2. Select an agent that uses Paperclip Runner with the Codex provider.
3. Select a known Codex model such as `gpt-6-astra`.
4. Open the assignee and model picker. The effort slider is missing
before this change.

## What Changed

- Show known Codex effort levels for Paperclip Runner Codex assignees.
- Save the task effort override in the native run input and send it to
Codex on each turn.
- Apply the task's merged model and effort overrides when the native run
starts.
- Apply a task model override for OpenCode Runner without changing the
agent's provider.
- Add Runner effort tests and desktop and mobile Storybook cases.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed.
- `pnpm build` passed.
- `pnpm build-storybook` passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` passed.
- Focused UI, server, Runner contract, and Codex driver tests passed.
- The full CI test matrix, build, typecheck, and canary dry run passed
on the latest head.

## Risks

- Native Runner inputs add an optional Codex effort field to the current
v5 input. Older inputs keep their previous behavior.
- A known model rejects an effort that its catalog does not support.
Unknown models do not show a slider.

> This fixes an existing composer bug. I checked `ROADMAP.md`; it does
not describe this bug as planned work.

## Model Used

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

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

**Problem or motivation**

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

**Proposed solution**

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

**Alternatives considered**

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

**Roadmap alignment**

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

**Additional context**

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 43acbcc398 fix(runner): preserve sessions and complete question and approval continuations (#13655)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The native runner connects task state to provider sessions.
> - Follow-up turns must retain provider memory and carry new user
direction.
> - Lost session IDs caused repeated context and extra input tokens.
> - Native question answers and approval races could leave valid work
blocked.
> - This pull request repairs those paths and adds regression coverage.
> - Agents can continue accepted work without repeating the conversation
or losing the user's answer.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13574. That merged PR shortened continuation prompts and moved
question instructions into tool documentation. This change preserves
sessions and fixes failures exposed by broader testing. Related runtime
work: #13408 and #13410.

**What happened?**

Native follow-up turns could lose the provider session ID. Completion
guidance could replace the original task with its latest comment. Claude
native questions could remain pending after the user answered. Approval
during a running tool call could suspend the run before the tool
response arrived. Onboarding and chat handoff instructions also caused
repeated planning or missing plan documents.

**Expected behavior**

Reuse a valid provider session. Send only new events when that session
already has the history. Preserve the task requirements and apply later
user direction. Store the question answer and deliver it to the waiting
run. Finish governed tool responses before suspending. Execute the
accepted plan without asking for the same approval again.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the continuation, local-session-integrity, first-task, and
agent-chat suites with native Codex and Claude. Include
provider-question-bridge, accept-while-running, and plan-handoff.

**Paperclip version or commit**

This branch is based on master d54b75011. The active full catalog run
tests 4e75881db. Later review fixes have separate regression coverage.

**Deployment mode**

Isolated local instances and Daytona sandboxes in the existing Runner
full-stack E2E harness.

## What Changed

- Retain provider session identity across turns and late usage
snapshots. Send new continuation events on session reuse, with full
context available for a fresh session.
- Preserve task requirements and later direction in completion guidance.
Return the current contract revision after a stale completion
submission.
- Bridge native Claude questions to saved Paperclip cards. Submit
answers through the saved card and resume the same run.
- Delay governed suspension until tool results settle. Add a
deterministic test barrier for approval during an active run.
- Clarify free-text question examples, explicit onboarding plans, and
execution of accepted chat plans.
- Fix continuation readiness, verified output evidence, and declared
screenshot collection.
- Qualify the legacy Claude test CLI at 2.1.277. The old 2.1.19 CLI did
not discover mounted skills. Update the existing workflow pin and
isolated launcher together.
- Refresh the Daytona image lockfile integrity pin after reviewing
master patch updates.
- Carry continuation mode as runtime metadata instead of inferring it
from user-visible text. Install the test Claude CLI without lifecycle
scripts.

## Verification

- Targeted paid verification: 20/20 cases passed across
local-environment campaigns before the rebase.
[Report](https://pages.paperclip.ing/runner-e2e-seven-fixes-35397904249/).
- Harness checks: 379 unit tests passed; harness typecheck passed.
- Latest-head PR checks: 55 passed, two intentionally skipped. Greptile
is 5/5; the security scan passes.
- Review regressions: 350 executor tests and 204 session/driver tests
passed. A script-free Claude install was verified with the actual CLI.
- Full catalog, including the explicit-only everyday suite: [run
35417932353](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35417932353).
Completed: **164/205 passed; 41 failed**. [Full dashboard and failure
investigation](https://pages.paperclip.ing/runner-e2e-full-catalog-35417932353/).
Includes 204 case artifacts and one pre-case GitHub authorization
timeout; missing evidence is not scored as a pass. The full run tested
`4e75881db`; Final-head metadata/CLI smoke cases both passed. In the
separate [six infrastructure
retries](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35419769343),
the GitHub timeout case passed and all five Docker preflight failures
repeated. [Follow-up
dashboard](https://pages.paperclip.ing/runner-e2e-full-catalog-35417932353/follow-up/).
- Full local typecheck and build passed on the rebased branch. The full
local unit run completed with 657 passing files, two test timeouts and
one suite setup timeout. All three affected files passed when rerun in
isolation (84 tests). The first full local run was not clean.
- Focused regression coverage includes the live question bridge,
same-run response delivery, UI routing, stale revisions, approval
overlap, and session reuse.

## Full-catalog follow-ups

- Test infrastructure: 14 Claude everyday cells probe an absent host
CLI; six cells failed pre-task GitHub/Docker qualification (GitHub
passes on retry; all five Docker cases repeat; the workflow preflight
allowlist omits their case IDs); five ACPX Codex cells cannot create
sandbox namespaces.
- Runtime: four OpenCode completion-criteria mismatches masked by
shutdown errors, one service-approval suspension failure; three Daytona
recovery failures encounter existing skill files; one duplicate
completion wake.
- Confirmed test defects: question pagination and a noncanonical plan
document key.
- Product/behavior: mismatched visible/required question sets, an
attachment instead of the requested task document, one lone-option
onboarding question, early completion instead of review, and a Codex
Mini completion-schema failure.
- The report job itself fails on trusted master’s stale patch/lock
configuration. The linked report is rebuilt with the shared renderer
from original cell results and public fixture screenshots; it excludes
private snapshots, logs and traces.

These are investigated follow-ups, not silently regraded passes.
First-task passed 51/52. The PR checks are green independently of the
broader catalog’s behavioral/infrastructure failures.

## Risks

- Session reuse depends on a valid provider identity and context
coverage. Fresh-session fallback and reset tests cover this boundary.
- Native question delivery spans saved interaction state and a live
provider run. Tests cover duplicate events, closed runs, and same-run
answers.
- Provider behavior varies. The full paid catalog may expose failures
beyond these targeted fixes; those results will be reported without
relaxing valid approval or output checks.
- The legacy Claude version update is limited to test infrastructure. No
database migration is included.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with repository inspection, code execution,
and browser/E2E tools. The exact runtime model identifier and
context-window size are not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 3b550c80fa fix(codex): correct startup trust, history reads, and resume usage (#13110)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip runs Codex locally and in remote sandboxes.
> - The runner must preserve startup configuration and session identity.
> - Missing project trust can disable repository configuration.
> - Full-history requests use deprecated provider fields.
> - Resume usage describes old work and must not become new run usage.
> - This change corrects startup trust, state reads, and usage
classification.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Normal Codex runs could show repository-trust and history-deprecation
warnings.
Resume could report the preceding turn's token snapshot as a late-turn
warning.
The historical last-usage value could also be attributed to the new run.

**Expected behavior**

Trust the server-selected startup root in isolated configuration. Read
lightweight
provider state and paginated evidence. Use historical cumulative usage
as a
baseline without a new charge or user-facing warning.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a native Codex task in a selected repository.
2. Finish the turn and resume the provider thread.
3. Inspect provider notices, history requests, and per-run usage.
4. Repeat startup and cold resume inside a Daytona sandbox.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Codex CLI 0.153.4 is the pinned runtime and reproduced baseline.
Replayed onto master at 6abeb6733. Related authority work: Refs #13092.
This PR retains its startup cleanup and protocol-integrity checks.

**Deployment mode**

Local source checkout and disposable Daytona sandbox.

## What Changed

- Classify the exact historical resume usage event before the generic
stale-turn warning.
- Persist cumulative usage baselines across recovery of the same run.
- Use excludeTurns on resume and lightweight thread reads.
- Page turn metadata and selected turn items with cursor and identity
validation.
- Reject unsupported or incomplete history instead of guessing that
execution is idle.
- Trust the startup execution root on its host, including Git worktree
trust keys.
- Start Codex in that root and retain the selected sandbox profile on
later turns.
- Keep unrelated isolated configuration and Codex's separate hook trust
policy.
- Add Rust, TypeScript, accounting, native integration, and local
run-log documentation.

## Verification

- Codex and native-transport TypeScript: 333 passed before PR replay.
- Adjacent OpenCode/ACPX driver and accounting tests: 49 passed.
- Rust library, serialized: 226 passed. Native Codex integration: 72
passed, 1 ignored, plus two pagination regressions.
- Repository typecheck and build passed. All repository test groups have
passing coverage after fixture and resource retests; the initial
monolithic command was not clean.
- Fresh real Codex native browser tasks returned correct answers without
the three targeted notices. Answers persisted after refresh and restart.
- Real same-thread TypeScript driver tests passed locally and in
Daytona, including cold resume, configuration, skills, and an approved
harmless hook.
- Local usage summed to 64,607 tokens. Daytona usage summed to 42,737
tokens. Each sum matched its final session total exactly.
- See doc/plans/2026-09-09-codex-integration-acceptance.md for the scope
and limits of the live tests.
- After replay onto current master and review fixes: 334 Codex, backend,
and live-session tests passed, including checkpoint serialization and
real-runner process restart. TypeScript checks passed.
- The native Codex integration run passed 83 tests; the large lineage
test passed separately with the release runner (its debug build exceeded
the test deadline).
- All GitHub checks passed on the final PR head. Greptile is 5/5 with no
unresolved review threads. CI regenerates the lockfile for the added
TOML dependency, per repository policy.
- The first server shard hit a timing-dependent duplicate-key failure in
the unchanged artifact-document concurrency test. Its focused 11-test
suite passed locally. One CI retry on the same head passed all 103 files
and 1,405 tests (2 skipped): [retry
result](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34398832930/job/102631274667).

## Risks

- Trust applies only to the server-selected startup root and isolated
configuration. Sandbox and tool permissions remain authoritative.
- Codex still requires approval of individual hook hashes. This change
does not bypass that policy.
- Providers without the required history APIs fail explicitly.
- Daytona acceptance used the production TypeScript driver. Remote
Paperclip UI and remote Rust execution were not tested.
- No new public API, database state, recovery policy, or UI control is
included.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 (`gpt-6-astra`). Used for reasoning, code edits,
tool use,
and test execution. The exact context-window limit is not exposed in
this
session. Real-provider acceptance used Codex CLI 0.153.4 with
`gpt-5.6-sol`.

DottaandPaperclip fac07b42ad fix(runner): preserve durable native session authority across recovery (#13092)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The native runner carries tool results and task output to the
control plane.
> - A lost connection must not change which run owns a result.
> - A session must not become reusable while provider output is still
pending.
> - This pull request adds strict recovery evidence and bounded drain
barriers.
> - It preserves current PRP version negotiation and session-goal
support.
> - The benefit is safer reuse of native sessions after a transport
failure.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13038. This is the first of two stacked pull requests. It contains
the native runtime prerequisites. The second pull request contains the
experimental chat-channel integration. It preserves the provider
identity and typed terminal-failure contracts in #13074 and the durable
recovery work in #13075.

**What happened?**

Native session failures could leave retained provider events, incomplete
tool results, or warm handoff state that was not safe to reuse. A later
run could observe output from an earlier authority.

**Expected behavior**

Recovery must preserve exact run, tool, process, artifact, and lease
evidence. Uncertain or corrupt state must fail closed. A successful
close must prove that retained provider output is settled.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the transport and control-plane regressions. They hold and drop
authenticated frames, fail durable writes, and restart fresh controllers
and runner processes with retained state. Provider executables are local
test fixtures.

## What Changed

- Preserve pending provider cleanup and semantic-result evidence across
session close and restart.
- Add an authenticated warm handoff with exact old and new identities,
durable receipts, and completion acknowledgement.
- Drain retained provider events under the cumulative acknowledgement
fence.
- Reject corrupt tool-result contracts without unsafe provider replay or
reusable checkpoints.
- Keep ordinary PRP v1 sessions and current session-goal behavior.
Require negotiated PRP v2 and acknowledged native session evidence
before warm authority rotation.
- Preserve late semantic inputs and exact durable result receipts until
close can prove settlement.
- Add transport, crash-window, artifact, checkpoint, and final-output
regressions.
- Deduplicate resolved execution delivery under the current issue lock.
Reuse the exact existing successor after concurrent scans or a lost
acknowledgement. Preserve newer operator evidence.
- Persist idle provider integrity/capacity failures before process
retirement, retain permanent model-rejection classification, and keep
external question identifiers out of task instructions.
- Expose only the context source on native status events. Keep thin
dispatch projections compatible without exposing the complete context.

## Verification

- Review-fix revision: 128 runtime-context/native-session tests, five
idle-failure/adjacent Rust cases, 24 warm crash-window cases, three
startup-notification/close cases, and five attach/backlog cases passed.
The security and idle-failure cases were first reproduced failing.
- Prior merged revision: runner production build, TypeScript typecheck,
complete Rust workspace tests and formatting passed; 272 focused runner
tests and two real PostgreSQL regressions passed.
- Earlier full runner runs and CI Build failed on missing
semantic-result fixture receipts, stale local provider fixture bytes,
startup-notification ordering, and a confirmation-loss fixture that
could accidentally send its final ACK. Each cause was reproduced and
corrected without relaxing production authority or close assertions.
These earlier runs are retained as failures, not represented as passing
verification.
- The first local repository-wide run failed before later phases because
the isolated install omitted PostgreSQL's native-library aliases; it
also encountered an unrelated occupied-port fixture. Those results are
retained, not represented as a passing run.
- Exact `335b2ee52709afb3885d4d6ebb2a3ece4b5864d6`: the complete runner
suite passed 1,888 tests, with 10 existing skips. The full Rust release
workspace passed with serial test scheduling. The unchanged parallel
Rust run hit the five-second 300-descendant fixture deadline; that
failure is retained. No deadline or assertion was relaxed.
- The resolved-execution regression suite passed 57 tests, including
concurrent delivery, lost acknowledgement, superseded authority, and
newer operator evidence. Plain server typecheck passed. The
duplicate-delivery cases were first reproduced failing.
- Prior exact `335b2ee52709afb3885d4d6ebb2a3ece4b5864d6` CI passed all
required jobs and Greptile reported 5/5. Its local general-server run
passed 7,208 tests but failed one responsibility fixture; later phases
did not run. The fixture started the next wake while its bounded handoff
was active. It also used nonexistent comment IDs, which hid the current
stored-message-author identity rule. The updated tests use real message
authors, preserve task ownership, and await exact automatic handoffs. No
production identity policy changed.
- Current head `aa39275a1f300f7d1a0b16cd0885eea567cff6b0` includes
current master and the native context-source projection. The focused
identity/status cohort passed 27 tests and plain server typecheck
passed. Fresh full repository tests, types, build, required CI, and
Greptile review are pending. Final results will be updated before merge.
- This is deterministic local-provider evidence. It is not a claim of
complete live-provider qualification.

## Risks

- This changes authenticated recovery and close ordering. The TypeScript
transport and runner binary must be built from the same revision.
- Failed or incomplete evidence intentionally prevents reuse and can
require a fresh run.
- PRP v1 ordinary/cold sessions remain supported. A v1 connection lease
cannot upgrade in place. A current v2-capable runner held on a v1 lease
was qualified through owned-process retirement/join, fresh bootstrap on
the same old authority, v2 observation/ACK, then warm rotation. Legacy
binary replacement and adopted-owner migration are not qualified by that
test; rollout must not present them as automatic same-lease upgrades.
- This pull request has no database migration or chat-channel
activation. The second pull request keeps the channel feature
experimental.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex assisted with implementation, tool execution, tests, and
reconciliation. The existing implementation records OpenAI `gpt-6-astra`
assistance. The current environment does not report a context-window
size. No private reasoning traces are included.

Dotta 131f5c4065 feat(runner): add administration and observability (#12641)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Administrators need bounded controls for experimental native
execution.
> - The lower stack adds remote Codex execution and the task workspace.
> - Operators need to configure Codex safely and inspect provider
traces.
> - Unsupported providers must not appear as runnable choices.
> - This pull request adds Codex-only administration and observability.
> - The benefit is a default-off operational surface for production
diagnosis.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #12640.
Refs #12616.
Refs #12352.

**Subsystem affected**

Agent configuration, instance experimental settings, run ledger,
provider trace inspector, and administrator actions.

**Problem or motivation**

The native runner lacks one safe operator surface for Codex permissions,
lifecycle, raw trace capture, and run inspection. The integration branch
also contains provider choices that the production backend cannot
execute yet.

**Proposed solution**

Expose only the qualified Codex controls. Keep Paperclip Developer Mode
and runner preview ingress off by default. Gate raw trace actions by
administrator access and existing trace authorization.

**Alternatives considered**

Exposing unfinished providers would create configurations that fail at
runtime. Always-on tracing would increase sensitive data and storage
risk.

**Roadmap alignment**

This work supports governed Cloud and Sandbox agents and production
diagnostics.

## Stack

- Base PR: #12640.
- Lower PRs: #12639 and #12638.
- This PR contains only its 54-file administration and observability
delta.
- This is the final feature PR in the Codex production stack.

## What Changed

- Added Codex-only Paperclip Runner permission and lifecycle controls.
- Added bounded warm idle configuration.
- Kept the provider field fixed to Codex.
- Added administrator-only one-run raw trace requests.
- Added a persistent future-run raw trace toggle.
- Added trace status, metadata, ledger, and canonical runner inspection.
- Added JSON-RPC request-origin grouping and finalization lineage.
- Restored the stateful PRP transcript parser and focused projection
tests required by trace inspection.
- Added default-off Paperclip Developer Mode.
- Added Honeycomb run links for authorized developer mode.
- Disabled the legacy operational skill for `paperclip_runner`.
- Did not expose OpenCode, ACPX, Pi, Claude Managed, or AWS runner
choices.
- Did not change migrations, workflows, dependencies, or
`pnpm-lock.yaml`.

## Verification

- GitHub Actions will run UI tests, server tests, repository typecheck,
build, browser tests, security, and policy gates.
- Tests cover Codex configuration defaults and bounds, administrator
trace actions, persistent settings, ledger inspection, trace lineage,
and Honeycomb links.
- Existing server trace authorization and retention tests remain the
backend authority.
- Local tests were not run. The requested verification policy uses
GitHub Actions for this series.
- `git diff --check runner/task-workspace-experience...HEAD` passes.
- The delta contains 54 files.

## Risks

- Raw provider traces can contain sensitive provider data.
- Existing server authorization controls access, reveal, download,
retention, and deletion.
- The UI gates trace actions by administrator access and developer mode.
- All new instance settings remain off by default.
- Fresh Paperclip Runner configuration remains Codex-only.
- Direct adapters and legacy task behavior do not change in this PR.

Dotta 560e7e48b5 feat(runner): add SDK and developer tooling (#12608)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The runner package already provides the production protocol and
execution spine.
> - Contributors still need stable SDK surfaces, deterministic test
tools, and local inspection tools.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

`packages/paperclip-runner` — runner SDK, conformance tools, and
developer tooling.

**Problem or motivation**

The production runner spine is present, but package consumers cannot
build deterministic integrations, inspect sessions, or verify
provider-neutral behavior through supported surfaces.

**Proposed solution**

Add browser, React, standalone, live-session, scenario, conformance, and
evaluation surfaces. Add generated contract inventories and
package-local verification scripts. Keep production application routing
unchanged.

**Alternatives considered**

We considered splitting each generated catalog, SDK surface, and demo
into separate pull requests. Those changes share exports, fixtures, and
drift gates. Splitting them would create intermediate package states
that do not build.

**Roadmap alignment**

No overlapping item appears in `ROADMAP.md`. This work extends the
runner package that is already on `master`.

## What Changed

- Add browser, React, standalone, live-session, and issue-thread SDK
surfaces.
- Add deterministic mock control-plane, scenario, conformance, replay,
and evaluation tools.
- Add bounded Codex, OpenCode, and ACPX development transports and
fixtures.
- Keep deferred managed-provider execution fail-closed. Persisted
compatibility data remains readable.
- Add generated capability inventories with their source files and drift
checks.
- Add examples, package documentation, browser checks, and
clean-consumer checks.
- Preserve the reviewed protocol bounds, replay compatibility aliases,
process environment isolation, and semantic redaction limits.
- Update the ACPX package patch that the existing workspace patch
registry already tracks.
- Do not change `pnpm-lock.yaml`, repository workflows, server runtime
selection, or the application UI.

## Verification

GitHub Actions is the verification authority for this pull request. The
repository CI, package TypeScript and Rust checks, package tests,
generated-output drift checks, browser checks, security scans, and
Greptile review must pass on the exact head.

Local test suites were not run because this series uses parallel GitHub
Actions for verification.

## Risks

This is a large greenfield package change. The main risks are public
export drift, generated-output drift, and optional React consumer
compatibility. Package boundary checks, clean-consumer checks, and
browser tests cover those risks. Production adapter selection and server
execution are outside this pull request.

## Stack

1. **This PR:** runner SDK and developer tooling.
2. [Codex production server
integration](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/12616).
3. [Provider-neutral task-thread
UI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/12617).

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, high-reasoning mode, with tool use and code
execution.
