DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 fc14f1ade2 fix(execution): keep resumed native runs alive past a stale finalization deadline (#20920)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The execution control reconciler bounds how long a run may spend
settling after its provider work ends
> - A run deadline from one attempt stayed on the run row after the run
was handed to a same-run resume or a restart claim
> - The reconciler then failed the resumed, live run with
`execution_finalization_deadline_exceeded` and told a person to inspect
the provider
> - This breaks two product rules: recovery must work without a person,
and users must not get operator instructions
> - This pull request makes a live native owner or a scheduled same-run
resume the owner of the run, and it replaces the operator text with
plain wording and Retry
> - The benefit is that runs that recover after a restart keep running,
and a genuine expiry shows plain words and one working Retry

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists. This is the bug description, in the fields of
`.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.yml`.

**What happened?**

On a hosted deploy, 11 tasks became blocked with
`execution_finalization_deadline_exceeded` in two hours. Three runs had
the same sequence. The native session failed or the server restarted. A
same-run resume or a restart claim then took the run. The new controller
held a live native lease and prepared the run again. The reconciler then
found the earlier attempt's run deadline and failed the run. The
recorded original failure code was empty, so no real failure caused the
block. The run error told a person to inspect the failed run and verify
that its provider stopped.

**Expected behavior**

A run that a live controller owns, or that has a scheduled same-run
resume, continues. A deadline that really expires shows plain wording
and a working Retry. Users do not get operator instructions.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Save a running native run with an `executionControlDeadlineAt` in the
past.
2. Give its finalization row a live lease (a restart claim), or phase
`retryable_failure` with no lease (a scheduled resume).
3. Run `reconcileAbandonedExecutionControl`.
4. The run fails with `execution_finalization_deadline_exceeded`, and
its error tells a person to inspect the provider.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at 6154b9485e.

**Deployment mode**

Hosted (cloud) instance with Daytona remote sandboxes.

**Agent adapter(s) involved**

Not adapter-specific (core bug). Seen with Codex and OpenCode native
runs.

## What Changed

- `execution-control-reconciliation.ts`: when a running native run has
no accepted result and its finalization owner holds a live lease or has
a scheduled same-run resume, the reconciler clears the stale run
deadline and does not fail the run.
- `execution-control-reconciliation.ts`: when the live owner's own
settlement deadline is due, the reconciler moves the deadline to the
lease expiry. It surfaces the failure only after that lease lapses.
- `execution-control-deadline.ts`: adds the cause constant and a plain
message. The reconciler writes this message to the run error, the run
next action, and the recovery action.
- `execution-blocker.ts`: a run saved by an earlier release with this
error code, and an active recovery action with this cause, show the
plain message. Retry stays available. No migration is needed.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: documents that a control deadline bounds
one attempt and not a later attempt of the same run.

## Verification

- Red before the fix (5 failures): `npx vitest run
src/services/execution-control-reconciliation.test.ts
src/services/execution-blocker-read.test.ts` in `server/`. The
resumed-run cases failed with `expected 1 to be +0` (the run was
surfaced as failed). The wording cases received the old operator text.
- Green after the fix: the same command passes, 46 of 46.
- Related files pass: `execution-control-work`, `task-retry`,
`workspace-recovery-warm-handoff`, `native-safe-replacement`,
`closed-native-receipt-accounting`, `execution-recovery-resolution`,
`workspace-recovery-admission`, `execution-projection`.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json` passes.
- `pnpm verify` selects a broad plan because
`doc/execution-semantics.md` changed. CI supplies that coverage.
- Previous-release story: in-flight rows with a stale run deadline and a
live owner continue after deploy. Rows that an earlier release already
failed show plain wording and Retry when read. No schema change.

## Risks

- A native owner that keeps renewing its lease while its settlement
hangs is not failed by this backstop until the lease lapses. The
executor stops lease renewal before it starts failure settlement, so the
wait is bounded by one lease period.
- A scheduled same-run resume now owns the run. Restart recovery
reschedules these resumes at boot. A coordinator deadline that is due
still surfaces the failure.
- Tasks that an earlier release already blocked keep their block. They
now show plain wording and Retry. Chat-bound tasks keep their existing
"send a message" continuation.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 34f71f7d57 fix(server): defer a run that meets a busy agent directory instead of failing it (#20829)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Each run of an agent with managed agent files gets a private copy of
the agent directory. Remote copies serialize their prepare, checkpoint,
collect, and release operations through one Postgres advisory lock per
agent, taken with `pg_try_advisory_xact_lock`
> - When the lock is busy, the operation fails at once with "Agent
directory operation is already active"
> - On staging, a deploy restarted the controller while three runs of
the same agent were active. When one run resumed, another run of that
agent was checkpointing its directory. The resume failed, used its last
attempt, and the task became blocked with "Retry or send a message"
> - A run must not fail because another run of the same agent is briefly
using the agent directory
> - This pull request keeps the fail-fast lock and, when it is busy
during preparation, puts the same native run back on the existing
same-run retry schedule a few seconds later
> - The benefit is that lock contention delays a run by seconds instead
of ending it as failed

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A task's run failed with `native_continuation_requires_reconciliation`
and the error "Agent directory operation is already active". The task
was blocked and asked the user to retry. The same error ended at least
two other runs of the same agent within one day.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Use an agent with managed agent files in a remote sandbox.
2. Let one run of the agent checkpoint or collect its agent directory.
3. At the same time, let another run of the same agent prepare (for
example, a same-run resume after a controller restart).
4. The second run fails immediately with "Agent directory operation is
already active".

**Expected behavior**
The second run waits until the first operation is done, then continues.
It does not end as failed.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/agent-directory-working-copies.ts`: The busy lock
now throws `AgentDirectoryOperationBusyError`, still a 409 with the same
message. Lock behavior is unchanged from `master`: a fail-fast
`pg_try_advisory_xact_lock` held for the life of the holder's
transaction.
- `server/src/services/heartbeat/agent-directory-busy.ts`:
`prepareWithAgentDirectoryDeferral` wraps only instruction preparation
and turns the busy error into `AgentDirectoryPreparationDeferral`
("Another run of this agent is still using its files"). A busy lock met
while collecting files after a turn is not wrapped and keeps its
existing path.
- **Before native admission** (a brand-new run, such as the first run of
a task): `server/src/services/heartbeat/retries.ts`
`finalizeAgentDirectoryBusyDeferral` cancels the run as an expected
control-plane wait (`providerWorkStarted: false`) and schedules an
`agent_directory_busy` retry 5–15 seconds later. The task keeps its
execution lock on the retry. The lane spends no failure retries
(`execution-recovery-attempt.ts`), its count is the retry run's
`scheduledRetryAttempt`, and it stops after 30 attempts.
`pre-dispatch-execution-evidence.ts` classifies this wait like the
existing workspace and AI-connection waits, so retry scheduling does not
ask for reconciliation.
- **A resumed native run**:
`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-controller-recovery.ts`
`deferNativeRunForBusyAgentDirectory` keeps the same run on the existing
same-run retry schedule without spending an attempt. It uses the same
guards as `deferNativeControllerRecovery`: it locks the task, requires
the task's execution run to be this run, requires the current lease
owner, and refuses after a Stop, a startup cancellation or a pending
native cancellation, so those settle normally. Its count is stored in
the run's `contextSnapshot`, which a resume claim does not clear, and it
stops after 30.
- `server/src/services/heartbeat.ts`: routes a preparation deferral to
the same-run path or, before admission, to the scheduled-retry path.
After the bound it follows the normal failure path with the plain
message.
- No schema or migration. Postgres releases a dead holder's advisory
lock with its session. The staging evidence showed a live holder
(another run's checkpoint), not a stale one.
- `doc/DEVELOPING.md`: Documented both paths and the bound.

Earlier revisions of this PR waited on the lock and added idle-session
expiry, keepalive, ownership fences, fenced remote removal and attempt
slots. This revision removes all of them.

### How the directory-wait retry keeps the original wake

The retry no longer replaces the wake. `scheduleBoundedRetryForRun`
takes `preserveWakeContext` for this wait: the retry keeps the original
`wakeReason`, `retryReason` and the whole wake context (interaction,
comment, continuation and admission fields), and its wake request keeps
the original reason. The wait is recorded separately as
`preparationWait: { kind: "agent_directory_busy", attempt, nextAttemptAt
}`, next to the carried `executionRetryAccounting`. Gates that key on
the wake reason therefore treat the retry exactly as they treated the
original wake.

| # | Site | Treatment for the directory wait | Why |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | `heartbeat/retries.ts` `scheduleBoundedRetryForRun` | Changed:
`preserveWakeContext` keeps the original wake context and reason and
adds `preparationWait` | Root cause: the retry overwrote the wake reason
|
| 2 | `run-dispatch/domain/wake-context.ts`
`isResolvedInteractionContinuationWakeContext` /
`PREPARATION_WAIT_RETRY_REASONS` | Special case removed | The original
wake context is kept, so the continuation is classified from it |
| 3 | `heartbeat/retries.ts` `interactionRunnerWait` | Special case
removed | The interaction fields are kept in the context |
| 4 | `run-dispatch/adapters/postgres.ts` scheduled-retry dependency
facts | Changed: a preparation-wait retry whose original wake was
admitted as a dependency-blocked interaction
(`dependencyBlockedInteraction`, recorded at wake time) is admitted the
same way | Without the wait the original wake would have run; this gate
is only met because of the wait |
| 5 | `run-dispatch/domain/wake-context.ts`
`isNonAssigneeWorkspaceBusyRetry` + `heartbeat/retries.ts`
`finalizeAgentDirectoryBusyDeferral` | Kept:
`preparationWaitDeferredWhileAssignee`, derived only from the recorded
admission authority | The scheduled-retry ownership gate has no
wake-reason path; the workspace and AI waits use the same recorded flag
|
| 6 | `heartbeat/retries.ts` explicit user continuation admission |
Kept: admits the `agent_directory_busy` scheduling reason | The
successor needs its own authorization receipt |
| 7 | `execution-recovery-attempt.ts` uncharged lane and
`agentDirectoryWaits` | Kept | Cap and accounting |
| 8 | `pre-dispatch-execution-evidence.ts` (`isPreDispatchResourceWait`,
`isAgentDirectoryPreparationWait`), used by
`legacy-execution-recovery.ts`, `cancelled-native-startup.ts`,
`explicit-native-continuation.ts` | Kept | Describe the cancelled
pre-provider parent run, not the retry's wake |
| 9 | `explicit-native-continuation.ts`
`undeliveredLegacyUserCommentIds`, `run-dispatch/adapters/postgres.ts`
`unstartedUserTurnOrigin` | Kept | The cancelled parent did not consume
the user's comment |
| 10 | `execution-projection.ts` label and saved accounting,
`task-interruption-presentation.ts`, UI toast and chat suppression |
Kept | Presentation of the wait |
| 11 | `run-dispatch/domain/policy.ts` AI-wait lock requirement;
AI-subscription lock recheck; AI wait detection
(`execution-configuration.ts`, `provider-limit-wait.ts`, `heartbeat.ts`,
`ai-connections.ts`, `ai-connection-runtime.ts`, `local-ai-login.ts`) |
Not applicable | AI-subscription specific |
| 12 | `workspace-busy-wait.ts`, `environment-selection.ts`,
`workspace-preparation.ts`, UI workspace-holder banners | Not applicable
| Workspace holder parking; the directory wait is a timed retry |
| 13 | `cancelled-native-startup.ts` paused workspace-retry repair;
`failureRetriesBefore*Wait` | Not applicable | Historical workspace and
AI records only; every directory wait saves its ledger |
| 14 | `failedRunRetryBudgetSpent`; storage-wait exhaustion escalation;
`status-relevance.ts` `isAdmissionWait` | Not applicable | A directory
wait never fails the run, stops at its own bound, and its run has
started |

## Verification

- Original wake kinds after a directory wait
(`heartbeat-agent-directory-busy.test.ts`, real heartbeat): an
assignment runs; a plain user comment on a dependency-blocked task is
answered with `dependencyBlockedInteraction`; an accepted interaction
continuation keeps its parked-task and reassignment gates; a user
message continuation runs with its comment; an accepted non-assignee
mention runs; and a reassignment during preparation does not let the
previous assignee restart. Each retry keeps the original `wakeReason`
and records `preparationWait`. With `preserveWakeContext` off, five of
these fail. Restart recovery keeps its attempt credit
(`native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts`).

- Non-assignee wake: an accepted mention for an agent other than the
assignee meets a busy directory; its retry records
`preparationWaitDeferredWhileAssignee: false`, survives promotion, runs
and succeeds once the directory is free. Without the shared clause in
`isNonAssigneeWorkspaceBusyRetry`, promotion cancels it.

- Interaction continuations: `heartbeat-agent-directory-busy.test.ts`
runs an accepted interaction continuation into a busy directory. The
retry keeps `mutation`, `interactionId`, `interactionKind` and
`interactionStatus` and is still classified as a continuation. If the
task is moved to todo, or reassigned, while the retry waits, the retry
does not run and the task stays parked or with its new owner. With the
old explicit storage/Runner lists, both cases fail.

- Red/green, new run:
`server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-agent-directory-busy.test.ts` runs a
real heartbeat for a new assignment whose first instruction preparation
meets a busy lock. Without the preparation wrapper, the run ends failed
(red). With it, the first run is cancelled as a wait, an
`agent_directory_busy` retry is scheduled with the task still locked to
it, the retry runs and succeeds, and no run of the task is failed
(green).
- Red/green, same-run: with the deferral as a no-op, the same-run
deferral tests failed (`expected false to be true`); they now pass.
- `native-controller-recovery.integration.test.ts` covers repeated
claim-and-defer cycles of a resumed run: each cycle keeps the attempt
count, cannot be claimed before the delay, stores the count on the run,
and the fourth deferral past a bound of 3 is refused. It also covers
Stop after the busy error, a foreign lease owner and a moved task (each
refused, nothing changed), a run before admission, and that a raw busy
error (as from collection) is never deferred.
- Focused suites: 232/232 passed (`agent-directory-working-copies`,
`instruction-working-copy`, `heartbeat-agent-directory-busy`,
`native-controller-recovery.integration`, `heartbeat-retry-scheduling`).
`tsc --noEmit` for `server` reports no errors in the changed files.
- Staging evidence (read-only): the failed run had a graceful restart at
07:25Z, then same-run resumes. Its third attempt failed at 07:31:08Z.
Another run of the same agent recorded a warm checkpoint receipt at
07:31:37Z. A second run of the same agent failed the same way at
07:59:46Z.

## Risks

- A deferred run waits 5 to 15 seconds per deferral, up to 30 times. If
the holder is still busy after that, the run fails as before with a
plain message.
- Before admission, deferral cancels the run and creates a retry run,
like the existing workspace-busy wait.

DottaandClaude Fable 5.2 a56b648602 fix(upgrade-readiness): report restartable runs and a handoff verdict that blocks only on lost work (#20910)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A deployer can replace the server while agent runs continue. Before
the swap, it reads the upgrade-readiness report of the old server
> - The version 1 report is ready only when every active run is
adoptable and no wake admission is in flight
> - On a busy instance, new runs arrive each minute. Some runs are
always in preparation, so the report is almost never ready and the
instance does not upgrade
> - A run in preparation has done no agent work. Restart recovery starts
it again. A swap loses nothing
> - This pull request adds a `handoff` object to the report. It
separates recoverable, restartable and blocking runs
> - The benefit is that a deployer can wait only for work that a swap
would lose

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20852 (reference only; this change does not depend on it and does
not use its version 2 shape).

**What happened?**

A busy instance had 16 running runs and 1 queued run. Fourteen had a
live process. Two or three native runs had not launched a process yet.
One was a legacy run. `upgradeReadiness.ready` needs `blockingRuns === 0
&& pendingWakes === 0` in one probe. That state almost never occurs, so
the deployer never swaps the server.

**Expected behavior**

The report tells the deployer which runs a swap would lose. Runs that
only wait for a launch, and wake admissions in flight, do not block a
graceful replacement.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Keep a steady flow of new runs on an instance.
2. Read `GET /api/instance/task-drain?upgradeReadiness=1` repeatedly.
3. See `ready: false` each time, because one or more runs are in
preparation or a wake admission is in flight.

## What Changed

- `summarizeUpgradeReadiness` returns an additive `handoff` object:
`version`, `ready`, `recoverableRuns`, `restartableRuns`,
`blockingRuns`, `pendingWakes`, `unsavedWakes`.
- `handoff.ready` is true when the instance is not draining, the census
is complete, and `handoff.blockingRuns` and `handoff.unsavedWakes` are
0. Saved pending wakes do not change it.
- The wake queue tracks each public wake admission until its wake
request and queued run commit. `unsavedWakes` is the count of admissions
before that commit. Without a valid count, every pending wake is
unsaved.
- The top-level version 1 fields keep their values and meaning. `ready`
and `blockingRuns` are unchanged, so a current consumer sees no looser
verdict.
- The census query marks a run `restartable` only with all of these:
`paperclip_runner` adapter; no process identity; no provider session
before or after; no checkpoint header; no dispatched runner task; no
execution-start event. It must also be a native run in the `observed`
phase with preparation fencing and an unsettled finalization record, or
a legacy run in the `preparing` stage under a recorded controller.
- All other runs without adoption evidence stay blocking. This includes
local adapters, legacy runs with a child process, follow-up runs that
carry a provider session, and runs the census could not observe.
- The OpenAPI description and `doc/testing-native-remote-continuity.md`
describe the new fields and their limits.

Why these classes are correct on master:

- Restartable native runs: restart recovery claims a run with no
checkpoint and no provider evidence as `bootstrap_incomplete` and
executes the same run again (`native-restart-recovery.ts`
`classifyNativeRunnerRecoveryEvidence`; `heartbeat/recovery.ts` executes
each claim). A graceful shutdown suspends the run and notifies recovery.
Existing tests: "recovers an unclaimed remote startup once without
requiring a provider checkpoint" and "recovers an unclaimed remote
startup that a graceful shutdown suspended during preparation".
- Restartable legacy runs: process-loss recovery retries a `preparing`
run with `providerWorkStarted: false`. Existing test: "continues a chain
whose preparations were killed twice and then interrupted again, without
a Retry".
- Pending wakes: the count is wake admissions in flight in the process,
not queue rows. A wake commits its wake request and its queued run in
one transaction. After the commit, the next server dispatches the queued
run at startup, so a saved wake does not block. Before the commit,
nothing is saved. Shutdown waits at most 30 seconds and then exits, so
an unsaved wake can be lost and blocks.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/heartbeat/upgrade-readiness.test.ts
src/services/heartbeat/upgrade-readiness-post-result.test.ts`: 28
passed.
- Red/green: before the implementation, the 7 new tests failed (6
summary tests, 1 PostgreSQL census test). After it, all pass.
- Red/green for unsaved wakes: a test holds the agent row lock while a
wake admission waits. Without the fix, `handoff.ready` was true with no
saved wake. With the fix, it is false with `unsavedWakes: 1`, and the
wake saves after the lock releases.
- New cases: only recoverable runs; recoverable plus unlaunched runs
plus pending wakes (`handoff.ready` true, top-level `ready` false and
`blockingRuns` unchanged); a started run without recovery evidence; an
unobserved execution; draining; truncated census.
- The PostgreSQL test changes one fact at a time (process identity,
provider session, phase, fencing, checkpoint, adapter, each
execution-start event) and expects the run to become blocking.
- `cd server && npx vitest run src/__tests__/openapi-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/instance-settings-routes.test.ts`: 157 passed (187 with
the two readiness files).
- `cd server && npx tsc --noEmit`: passed.
- `pnpm verify` exited 2 (a documentation path is a global CI input).
Required CI supplies the broad coverage.
- Not run: a live server replacement. The classification relies on the
existing recovery tests named above.

## Risks

- Low risk for current consumers. The change is additive and the version
1 fields are unchanged.
- `handoff.ready` is an observation at one instant. A wake admission
that starts after the probe is unsaved until it commits.
- Restart recovery applies its own proofs and a bounded attempt budget
before it starts a restartable run again. The report is an observation,
not a guarantee for each run.
- The probe adds one indexed `not exists` on run events per running row,
inside the existing two-second statement timeout.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 fb695f7ae6 fix(secrets): let an approved binding fill a blank agent config value (#20908)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents can propose binding a company secret to another agent; a
person approves it with "Create binding" on a chat card
> - Approval refuses when the target config key already holds a
different value, so it never overwrites a working credential
> - An empty string or empty plain value also counted as "already
exists"
> - So an agent whose key was cleared could not be repaired through the
governed binding card: approval returned 409
> - This pull request treats a blank value like an unset key; non-empty
values still conflict
> - The benefit is that the supported binding approval repairs a member
with a blank credential

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20879

**What happened**
In the `teams.configure-team` chat eval, the CEO proposed binding the
company OpenRouter secret to the QA member as `env.OPENROUTER_API_KEY`.
QA's saved value was an empty string. Approving that proposal fails with
409 "Agent config path already exists: env.OPENROUTER_API_KEY".

**Expected behavior**
Approval fills a blank value (empty string or empty plain value) with
the secret reference. A non-empty value still blocks the approval.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Save an agent with `adapterConfig.env.TOKEN = ""`.
2. Have an agent propose a binding of a company secret to that agent as
`env.TOKEN`.
3. Approve the proposal as the board user.
4. The approval returns 409 and the binding is not created.

## What Changed

- `secret-proposals.ts`: `applyBindingApproval` treats `undefined`, `""`
and `{ type: "plain", value: "" }` as an unset key for both `env.<KEY>`
and other config paths.
- `secret-proposals-routes.test.ts`: regression tests for an empty
string and an empty plain value. The existing test that a non-empty
value conflicts still passes.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run src/__tests__/secret-proposals-routes.test.ts`
(in `server/`): 49 passed.
- Red check: without the service change, the two new tests fail.

## Risks

- Low risk. Only a blank value changes behavior. A blank value carries
no credential, so nothing working is replaced.

## Model Used

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 7e8901aa60 fix(recovery): let Retry and the person's answer continue a held task with a pending decision (#20872)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A native run on a remote sandbox can lose its Runner process.
Recovery then saves the sandbox files and puts an execution hold on the
task
> - The hold offers Retry. A person can also continue the task with a
new message
> - Many held tasks also have a pending decision: the question that a
parked turn asked, or an older connection request
> - Continuation admission refuses every continuation while a decision
is pending ("decision_pending"). The answer to that decision is not a
message, so admission defers it behind the hold ("execution_recovery")
> - So Retry waits for the answer and the answer waits for the hold. The
task shows a Retry that does nothing, and nothing continues it
> - This pull request lets a person's Retry pass an open question, and
lets the person's own answer continue the task through the hold
> - The benefit is that a task with a lost Runner and a pending decision
always has a control that works

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
On staging, the same-run retry of six remote native runs found the
Runner process gone (`process_not_running`, lifecycle `ready`). Each run
failed with `runner_remote_process_identity_unavailable`. Saved-work
recovery then recovered the sandbox files, and the task showed "Saved
work recovered. Retry or send a message to continue." with `canRetry:
true`. Four of these tasks also had a pending decision: the question
that the parked turn asked, or an older pending connection request. For
those tasks, Retry is deferred with `decision_pending`, and an answer to
the decision is deferred with `execution_recovery`. No control continues
the task.

**What did you expect to happen?**
Retry starts one new run. The person's answer to the pending decision
also continues the task.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. A remote native run asks the user a question and parks the turn.
2. The Runner process exits. The same-run retry fails with
`runner_remote_process_identity_unavailable`.
3. Saved-work recovery recovers the files. The task offers Retry.
4. Click Retry: the Retry waits with "A pending approval or question
must be resolved before this message can start."
5. Answer the question: the answer waits with "Waiting for execution
recovery. Your message is saved."

Refs #20838, #20853

## What Changed

- `admitExplicitNativeContinuation`
(`server/src/services/explicit-native-continuation.ts`): a task Retry is
no longer held by a plain pending question (`ask_user_questions`) or
connection request (`connection_intent`). Any interaction with approval
semantics still holds Retry: a plan review (`issue_document` target), a
governed tool action, a secret proposal, a connection authorization, and
other confirmations. A pending approval still holds every continuation.
A new message supersedes a plain question, as on master, and waits for a
decision with approval semantics.
- `admitExplicitNativeContinuation`: the person's own resolution of an
interaction (`mutation: "interaction"`, answered/accepted/rejected,
resolved by the same user) is explicit user input. It continues the held
task like a new message: a fresh session, the hold resolved as
`explicitUserContinuation` with the `interactionId`, and
`issue.execution_recovery_settled` activity. It never replays the failed
run. Governed tool-action confirmations are excluded. The existing
`readQueuedInteractionResponse` reads the answer.
- `heartbeat/queue.ts`: both admission calls pass the wake payload to
the admission.
- `buildExecutionContinuation`
(`server/src/services/execution-continuation.ts`): dispatch rechecks the
user authorization. It accepted an interaction receipt only through a
saved interrupt queue, so the answered successor failed with
`continuation_user_authorization_missing`. It now also accepts the
person's own answer: the interaction named by the durable authorization
was resolved by that user and not by an agent, and the authorization
names this successor run. The check does not depend on the run's current
trigger, so a later answer that replaces the trigger cannot invalidate
it.
- New API-level test
`server/src/services/governed-wait-runner-loss.test.ts` with the two
staging shapes (a parked question from the failed run; an older
connection request on a monitor wake). It checks that Retry starts
exactly one run and leaves the decision pending, that the person's
answer starts exactly one run and settles the hold, and that an answer
resolved by a different user keeps the hold.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: describes the rule.

## Verification

- `cd server && pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/governed-wait-runner-loss.test.ts`: 5 passed. The answer
tests now also build the successor's continuation as dispatch does and
check that the agent receives the answer.
- Red for dispatch (first head, ac17aebe): both answer tests fail with
`continuation_user_authorization_missing`.
- Ponytail follow-ups: a two-answer test (the second answer waits behind
the successor; dispatch also holds with a replaced trigger) and 'keeps
Retry on hold while %s is pending' for four approval-bearing kinds. On
head 60beb773, 5 of these fail. Two more tests show that a new message
supersedes a plain question and waits for a plan review (both unchanged
from master). All 12 tests in the file pass now. The PR adds no code
comments; the rationale is in `doc/execution-semantics.md` and here.
- Continuation suites (execution-continuation,
execution-continuation-provenance, legacy-continuation-authority,
explicit-native-continuation, task-retry, governed-wait-runner-loss):
634 passed.
- Red on master (product hunks removed, test kept): 4 of 5 fail. Retry
tests: `successors: 0`, deferred `decision_pending`. Answer tests:
`successors: 0`, deferred `execution_recovery`. Every case asserts
`runError: "runner_remote_process_identity_unavailable"`.
- Related suites: explicit-native-continuation, task-retry,
workspace-recovery-admission, retry-workspace-continuity,
workspace-recovery-retry-copyback, workspace-recovery-fallback,
native-workspace-reconstruction, native-recovery-preparation-failure,
issue-thread-interactions-service. 957 of 959 passed. The 2 failures are
30 s `afterEach` hook timeouts in native-workspace-reconstruction; all
51 of its tests pass alone, and the same file on unchanged master shows
5 hook timeouts on this machine.
- `cd server && pnpm exec tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json`: passes.

## Risks

- Medium. A Retry can now start while a plain question or connection
request is pending; decisions with approval semantics still hold it. The
new run sees the open decision in its task context, and the decision's
answer still wakes the agent later. Approvals keep holding Retry, so
approval gates are unchanged.
- An answer now continues a held task in a fresh session. All other
admission gates still run: stop proof, saved-work recovery, workspace
repair, active execution, pause, budget and ownership. Only the user who
resolved the interaction can continue this way.
- This does not make recovery automatic. A task whose Runner was lost
still rests on the hold until a person clicks Retry or answers.
Automatic settlement of a parked governed wait is a separate change.

Nicky Leach 25f0957c24 Select the AI Connection sign-in computer automatically (#20906)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents and their AI Connections.
> - Codex and Claude subscription sign-in can run on a company agent
computer.
> - Core stores the credential and uses connection permissions to
control access.
> - The Connections page asks the user to choose a computer just to host
sign-in.
> - This change lets Core choose an eligible computer when sign-in
starts.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20410 and #20417.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

OpenAI and Anthropic subscription sign-in from Connections with an agent
computer as the sign-in environment.

**Current behavior**

The user must choose a sign-in computer before the provider flow can
start.

**Proposed behavior**

Start sign-in from the provider form. Core chooses a computer in the
company and sign-in environment. The session stays bound to that
computer and reports when no eligible computer is available.

**Reason and benefit**

The saved credential and its permissions are independent of the computer
that hosts sign-in, so users can proceed without picking an agent.

## What Changed

- Select an eligible computer when a managed Codex or Claude login
starts without an explicit target. Prefer ready computers and skip
active login leases.
- Remove the picker and let the browser resume the existing session by
environment and connection intent. Continue to honor explicit agent
targets in agent settings. Remove the unused picker fallback from the
legacy form.
- Update the AI Connections guide, the plugin environment contract, and
the OpenAPI descriptions.

## Verification

- Passed server and UI typechecks.
- Passed 317 tests across the login environment, setup-token route,
device-login service, and two UI suites. The Postgres test covers
eligibility, inherited environments, explicit targeting, occupied
computers, and the no-computer response.
- Passed 45 OpenAPI route tests.
- Reran the affected UI suites on the final revision. All 230 tests
passed.
- UI tests cover starting from the provider form and resuming both
provider flows with a server-selected target.
-
[CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/43086849302)
and [Greptile
5/5](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/20906#issuecomment-6805135968)
passed on the final commit.
- Local verification used test transports. Live provider sign-in remains
to be checked in a Cloud composition that contains this change.

## Risks

- Two sign-ins that select a computer before either lease is recorded
can contend for the same computer. The existing provider admission guard
handles the conflict. A retry can select another computer once the lease
is visible.
- The computer selection uses existing lifecycle and lease data. Plugin
admission still validates the live computer.
- No schema migration or plugin protocol change is required.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex (GPT-6), with shell execution and local test tooling.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 eb5ad4c920 fix(cases): say a Cases-disabled denial is final and name the Experimental setting (#20892)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Cases is an experimental feature; an instance admin turns it on in
Experimental settings
> - When Cases is off, every case and workflow route answers 403 "Cases
are disabled" with no other information
> - A chat agent asked to "open a customer case" could not tell whether
the denial was final or what to offer
> - In one eval run it created a project and a task in place of the
case; in another it spent most of its turn searching routes before it
replied
> - This pull request gives the denial a code and a final, actionable
remediation, like the board-only denial
> - The benefit is a fast, truthful reply that names the setting and
lets the person choose

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened**
In the chat eval cases.cases-disabled ("Open a customer case for this
bug." with Cases off), the agent got 403 "Cases are disabled". In one
run it then created a project and a bug task without asking. In a later
run it searched many routes and instance settings for about 100 seconds
before it replied.

**Expected behavior**
The denial says that Cases is off, that the denial is final, where an
instance admin turns it on, and that the agent must not create a
substitute record before the person chooses. The agent replies at once
and offers the setting or an ordinary task.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Turn off Cases in Experimental settings.
2. As an agent, call GET /api/companies/{companyId}/cases.
3. See a bare 403 "Cases are disabled" with no code or remediation.

## What Changed

- Rebased on #20894, which already gave the case routes a
`cases_disabled` code, a final remediation and the hidden-settings
check. This PR moves that remediation into one helper used by every case
and workflow path, and adds: no substitute task or project before the
person chooses, and the offer of an ordinary task.
- New `casesDisabledError()` in `server/src/services/cases-disabled.ts`:
same 403 message, plus `code: "cases_disabled"` and a remediation. The
remediation says the denial is final, forbids a substitute task or
project before the person chooses, links `[Experimental
settings](/<prefix>/company/settings/instance/experimental)`, and offers
an ordinary task.
- Native tool results carry only the error message, so the native case
tools, workflow tools and runner tool authority inline the remediation
in the message (`casesDisabledError({ inlineRemediation: true })`).
- Case routes, workflow service, case handoffs, native case tools,
native workflow tools and the runner tool authority use the helper
instead of a bare `forbidden("Cases are disabled")`.
- Tests: `cases-routes.test.ts` checks the code and remediation;
`native-case-tools.integration.test.ts` checks the native message
carries the remediation (red on master, green here).

## Verification

- `npx vitest run src/__tests__/cases-routes.test.ts
src/services/case-handoffs.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-case-tools.integration.test.ts
src/__tests__/heartbeat-case-handoff.test.ts` (166 passed).
- The cases.cases-disabled chat eval is rerun on a temporary branch;
results are recorded in the PR conversation.

## Risks

- Low risk. The status and message do not change. The error body adds
`code` and `remediation`.

## Model Used

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 6dc36700b1 fix(costs): mark unpriced usage in the agent, model and project cost reports (#20889)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Cost reports show what agents and projects spent
> - A run can have usage with no known price; Paperclip saves it with
costStatus "unpriced" and costCents 0
> - The summary and the provider, biller and user reports count those
events, but the agent, agent-model and project reports did not
> - An agent that read the by-agent-model report saw a native run at
costCents 0 and told the person it cost $0.00
> - This pull request adds unpricedEventCount to those three reports and
tells agents what it means
> - The benefit is that missing charges are reported as unpriced, not as
free

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened**
In the chat eval budgets-costs.spend-breakdown, the person asked "How
much did Launch cost this week, broken down by agent?". The week
included a real native run whose usage had no known price (data-quality
reason missing_price). The agent read /costs/by-agent-model and
/costs/by-project. Both returned costCents 0 for that usage and no
unpriced count. The reply showed "1 native run ($0.00)" and gave the
total as complete.

**Expected behavior**
The reports say which rows include unpriced usage. The agent says that
usage is unpriced, marks the total incomplete, and links the record.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Record one priced and one unpriced metered cost event for an agent in
a project.
2. Call GET /api/companies/{companyId}/costs/by-agent, /by-agent-model
and /by-project.
3. See costCents counts only the priced event, and no field shows the
unpriced event.

## What Changed

- `costService.byAgent`, `byAgentModel` and `byProject` return
`unpricedEventCount` (same filter as the summary: unpriced and not
subscription_included).
- Shared types `CostByAgent`, `CostByAgentModel` and `CostByProject` add
`unpricedEventCount`.
- The OpenAPI catalog entries for the cost reports that count unpriced
usage now say that costCents counts priced usage only, that unpriced
usage must be reported as unpriced (never $0.00), and that
/costs/data-quality lists those runs.
- Tests: embedded-Postgres service test (red on master, green here) and
an OpenAPI description test. A UI test fixture adds the new field.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run src/__tests__/costs-service.test.ts` (19 passed). The
new test fails with the master service.
- `npx vitest run src/__tests__/openapi-routes.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/runner-api.test.ts` (2146 passed).
- `tsc --noEmit` for packages/shared and server.

## Risks

- Low risk. One added aggregate column per report and an added response
field. The UI does not read it yet.

## Model Used

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 6154b9485e fix(authz): name the Experimental settings page when an agent is denied an instance experiment (#20894)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - People ask chat agents to turn on instance experiments, such as
Cases
> - Agents cannot read or change experimental instance settings, which
is correct
> - The denial they get names no page, so the agent cannot tell the
person where to act
> - The case API gate ("Cases are disabled") also names no page
> - This pull request makes both denials, and the API catalog entry,
name the Experimental settings page
> - The benefit is that the agent replies with a usable link instead of
a vague "ask an admin"

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened**
An agent that asks for `GET` or `PATCH
/api/instance/settings/experimental` gets the generic board-only denial.
That denial says "Link a page only if you already know its route; do not
search for one." The case API, while Cases is off, returns only "Cases
are disabled". The agent has no route to give the person.

**Expected behavior**
The denial is final and names the page where an instance admin turns the
feature on: `[Open Experimental
settings](/<prefix>/company/settings/instance/experimental)`. If the
operator hides that page, the denial does not link it.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Use an agent API key.
2. Send `PATCH /api/instance/settings/experimental` with
`{"enableCases": true}`.
3. See a 403 with a remediation that names no page.
4. With Cases off, send `GET /api/companies/<id>/cases` with the agent
key.
5. See a 403 "Cases are disabled" with no remediation.

Refs the chat eval `instance-operations.instance-settings` (retargeted
from the removed Agent Chat toggle to Cases).

## What Changed

- `server/src/routes/authz.ts`: the board-only denial map links
Experimental settings for `/instance/settings/experimental`. It does not
link it when `instance.experimental` is hidden.
- `server/src/routes/cases.ts`: the Cases gate keeps the "Cases are
disabled" message. It adds `code: cases_disabled` and a final
remediation that names the same page (same hidden-page guard).
- `server/src/routes/openapi.ts`: the GET and PATCH catalog entries for
experimental settings name the page. They say that agent credentials
cannot read or change these settings. They give Cases (`enableCases`) as
an example.
- Regression tests in `board-access-denial.test.ts`,
`cases-routes.test.ts` and `openapi-routes.test.ts`.

## Verification

- `cd server && pnpm exec vitest run
src/__tests__/board-access-denial.test.ts
src/__tests__/openapi-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/cases-routes.test.ts`: 107 passed.
- Red check: with the three source files reverted, 4 new assertions fail
(GET and PATCH denial links, the catalog entry, the Cases gate).
- `src/services/native-runtime/runner-api.test.ts` and
`src/__tests__/instance-settings-routes.test.ts`: pass.

## Risks

- Low risk. Only error bodies and catalog text change. Status codes and
the "Cases are disabled" message stay the same.
- The catalog text is static, so it names the page even when an operator
hides it. The denials check the hidden setting.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 a589b74fbf fix(chat): name goal links, missing-name questions and component reference pages in chat guidance (#20888)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - People talk to their agents in chat, and the chat guidance tells the
agent how Paperclip works
> - Chat evals showed three gaps in that guidance
> - The agent explained a task's purpose from titles only, because the
guidance gives no goal link and no instruction to read goal descriptions
> - The agent built a full landing page with an invented product name,
because the chat guidance has no rule to ask for a missing name first
> - The agent posted a real question card or drew a text mock when the
person asked to see a card, because the guidance names the design guide
and ux-lab pages only in general
> - This pull request adds three short rules to the chat guidance
> - The benefit is grounded purpose answers with links, one necessary
question instead of placeholder work, and links to the real reference
pages

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened**
In chat evals (OpenCode runner, DeepSeek flash): (1) "Why are we doing
this website task?" got an answer from titles only, with no goal links
and without the parent goal's stated reason. (2) "Build a landing page
for my new product." produced a full site named with a placeholder; the
agent never asked for the product name. (3) "Show me the standard
question card" made the agent post a real question card. "Show me how
chat looks when a tool request is denied" made the agent draw a text
mock and probe real tool requests.

**Expected behavior**
(1) The agent reads the task, project, goal and parent goals, gives the
reason that the goal descriptions state, and links each record. (2) The
agent asks one free-text question for the missing name and uses the
answer in the brief. (3) The agent links the design guide question card
or the denial ux-lab page and says they are synthetic presentation
fixtures.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run the chat evals goals.explain-purpose,
questions-and-approvals.necessary-question,
developer-labs.component-reference and
developer-labs.interaction-fixture on master.
2. Read the reply and tool events of each run.

## What Changed

- Chat guidance: goal link format `/<prefix>/goals/<goalId>`, and a rule
to explain a task's purpose from its saved goal chain (GET
/api/goals/{id}, follow parentId), link every record, and say so when
the task has no goal.
- Chat guidance: ask for a missing name (for example the product name on
a landing page) with `request_human_input` (`questions`, one required
free-text question) before building or delegating; never use a
placeholder name.
- Chat guidance: when the person asks to see a component or chat state,
link the design guide (question card states) or the named `/ux-lab/...`
pages instead of creating a real card or a mock, and say they are
synthetic fixtures.
- Tests: new red/green tests in `agent-conversations.test.ts`; they also
check that the named UI routes exist in `ui/src/App.tsx`.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run src/__tests__/agent-conversations.test.ts` (62
passed); the new tests fail on master because the text is absent.
- `npx vitest run` for heartbeat-context-summary,
heartbeat-chat-task-link, board-access-denial, task-markdown,
current-wake-comments and heartbeat-list tests (119 passed).
- The affected chat evals are rerun on a temporary branch; results are
recorded in the PR conversation.

## Risks

- Low risk. Guidance text only. The chat directive grows by about 1.6
KB.
- The missing-name rule is narrow (a name the work must carry). It must
not cause extra questions for clear requests.

## Model Used

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 c02de922af fix(chat): deliver the person's time zone to chat agents (#20898)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - People talk to agents in chat, and agents create routines and other
scheduled work from that chat
> - Paperclip does not record the person's time zone, so a chat agent
cannot read "every weekday at nine" or "today" in the person's zone
> - The agent then saves schedules in UTC, and the person gets the work
at the wrong hour
> - This pull request saves the browser time zone with the person's
personal preferences and gives it to chat agents in the task prompt
> - The benefit is that schedules and dates from chat match the person's
local time

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened**
A person in America/Chicago wrote in chat: "Every weekday at nine in the
morning, summarize Launch for me." The agent saved the routine schedule
`0 9 * * 1-5` with the UTC time zone. It replied that it used UTC
because the person's time zone is not recorded.

**Expected behavior**
The agent knows the person's time zone. It saves one enabled `0 9 * *
1-5` schedule with the time zone America/Chicago. Its reply names the
zone.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Open the board in a browser with the time zone America/Chicago.
2. Open a chat with an agent.
3. Send "Every weekday at nine in the morning, summarize Launch for me."
4. Look at the routine trigger that the agent creates. Its time zone is
UTC.

## What Changed

- Database: add the nullable `time_zone` column to
`user_workspace_preferences` (migration `0468`). This is an
instance-wide personal preference by user, as AGENTS.md section 5
permits.
- Shared: `WorkspacePreference` has `timeZone`.
`updateWorkspacePreferenceSchema` accepts an optional IANA `timeZone`
(max 64 characters, checked with `Intl.DateTimeFormat`).
`coordinatorWorkspaceEnabled` is now optional. The request must contain
at least one field.
- Server: the preference service returns `timeZone` and updates only the
fields in the request. The activity log entry stays the same. The
OpenAPI entry uses the shared schema.
- UI: a new `useBrowserTimeZoneSync` hook in `Layout` saves the browser
time zone one time when it is different from the saved zone. It is
silent and best-effort. It uses the selected company as the audit
context.
- Prompt: for a conversation (any adapter), the task context reads the
chat owner's saved zone. Recovery keeps the zone that the first turn
admitted. The chat block adds one line only when the zone is known:
`The person's time zone is America/Chicago (from their browser). Read
times and dates they give, such as "nine in the morning" or "today", in
that zone, and save schedules such as routine triggers with that
timezone; say the zone when you report a schedule.`

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/workspace-preferences.test.ts
src/__tests__/workspace-preferences-routes.test.ts
src/services/heartbeat/task-markdown.test.ts
src/__tests__/heartbeat-task-context.test.ts
src/__tests__/openapi-routes.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/runner-api.test.ts`
- `cd ui && npx vitest run src/hooks/useBrowserTimeZoneSync.test.tsx
src/hooks/useCoordinatorWorkspaceEnabled.test.tsx
src/components/Layout.test.tsx`
- Red/green: without the task-context and task-markdown changes, the two
new prompt tests fail. With the changes, they pass.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` is clean. `tsc --noEmit` passes for
`packages/shared` and `packages/db`.
- Manual: open the board in a browser with a non-UTC zone. Then ask a
chat agent to create a weekday routine at nine in the morning. The
trigger uses the browser zone.

## Risks

- Low risk. The migration adds one nullable column.
- The PUT body is now more flexible: `coordinatorWorkspaceEnabled` is
optional. An empty body still gets a 400 response.
- The prompt grows by one line only for conversations with a known zone.
- The saved zone changes when the person uses a browser in a different
zone. The latest browser wins.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 683fd1e9a5 test(restart-chaos): cells for staging's no-restart failures (re-wake, Nth recovery step, long turn, K15 without volume) (#20893)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The restart-chaos harness (`tests/restart-chaos/`) tests that agent
work survives control-plane faults
> - In one 8-hour staging window, 20 of 25 failed runs happened with no
restart at all, so the harness did not see them
> - The harness had blind spots: one short task per agent, no wake right
after a successful run, no fault in a later recovery step, short turns,
and a redeploy that always keeps its instance home
> - This pull request adds cells for those shapes, so the harness
reproduces these failure classes on master
> - The benefit is that fixes for these classes can be proven red and
green with the harness, without staging

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
On staging, an agent ran 10–13 tasks at once on reused sandboxes. 30–60
s after a long run succeeded, an ordinary wake (a comment or an issue
monitor) started the next run of the same task. That run or its recovery
failed before any provider work, with errors such as
`runner_remote_process_identity_unavailable`, `Controller journal drain
timed out` and `journal_tool_input_unanswered`. Other failures happened
in a later recovery step (a held agent-directory lock, a missing runtime
asset after a deploy without a volume).

**Expected behavior**
The chaos harness can reproduce each of these shapes on demand, and
grades them: no failed attempt, every task `done`, and no task left
blocked without a working Retry.

**Steps to reproduce**
See the commands in the README sections "Re-wake after success", "Fail
the Nth recovery step", "Long turn" and "Redeploy without a volume, with
overlap".

Related: #20844 (session fault SR1). W2C is the configuration change
after a successful run; SR1 is the same change while a question is
parked. This PR does not add or change `session-faults.ts`.

## What Changed

- New workloads W2, W2Q, W2C (`rewake.ts`): phase 1 ends with the task
left open; the harness, as the board, wakes the same task the seeded
0–60 s after its run settled. W2 uses a comment or a board-scheduled
issue monitor (by nonce). W2Q parks on an unanswered
`request_human_input` question and is woken by a comment before the
answer. W2C changes the agent's `adapterConfig.idleTimeoutMs` before the
wake. Oracle: phase 1 succeeded, the wake was served by a run that
succeeded, `no_failed_attempt`, `done`, markers.
- `--faults K0`: cells with no fault, for workloads whose shape is the
fault.
- `--fail-recovery-step <step>[:<nth>]` (`recovery-step-faults.ts`):
when the wave's first restart fault starts its replacement, the harness
arms one crash point in a new fail mode; the nth hit throws the error of
the real step, once. Steps: `runnerd-start` (`spawn paperclip-runnerd
EAGAIN`), `teardown` (provider destroy did not finish), `directory-lock`
(`Agent directory operation is already active`). Crossed tasks get
`recovery_step_failed_once` and `no_failed_attempt`.
- Crash points (`packages/shared/src/crash-points.ts`): fail mode in the
control file (`<token> <name>:<nth> fail [pid=<n>]`), with an optional
call-site error; `pid=` binds the line to one server process. The
harness arms the step for the replacement only and disarms it once its
receipt lands. New point
`agent_directory.operation_lock.before_acquire`. The teardown point
moved into its `try`, so fail mode behaves like a failed provider
destroy; kill mode is unchanged. All points stay disarmed under
`NODE_ENV=production`. The runner package's own crash-point copy is not
changed (runner image content ID unchanged).
- `--long-turn-minutes <n>` (`long-turn.ts`, 15–60, opt-in): every
task's first turn runs rounds of real tool work for n minutes before its
workload. Checks `long_turn_rounds` and `long_turn_run_observed`.
- K15 `--k15-fresh-home` (Daytona) and `--k15-overlap-seconds
<min>-<max>` (`redeploy.ts`, `supervisor.ts`, `edge-proxy.ts`): each
deploy generation gets a new, empty instance home and no volume
variables; the next generation boots beside the old one behind an edge
proxy on the wave's port, takes traffic once ready, and the old one gets
SIGTERM after the overlap.
- `tests/runner-e2e/source-sdk-public-inputs.json`: refreshed pins for
the changed shared crash-point files.
- README: one section per new cell, with what it covers.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run --config tests/restart-chaos/vitest.config.ts`
(48 files, 581 tests after rebasing on master, includes the new
`shape-cells.test.ts`).
- `pnpm exec vitest run packages/shared/src/crash-points.test.ts

## Risks

- Product code changes are test instrumentation only: three `crashPoint`
call sites take a fail-mode error, and one new call site was added.
Disarmed (always in production) each call is one comparison. Moving the
teardown point into its `try` does not change kill mode: the process
dies at the same instant.
- The new cells are opt-in. Default waves plan the same tasks as before
for the same seed.
- The W2 cells depend on model behaviour (phase 1 leaves the task open).
The oracle records the task status at the wake.
- `--k15-fresh-home` drops everything under the instance home. Whether
staging keeps agent instruction bundles outside the instance home is not
verified (see the K15 result).

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, agentic coding with
tool use (shell, file edits, test and chaos runs) in Claude Code.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 b96967a97b fix(authz): name the environment settings page when an agent is denied an environment route (#20880)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Execution environments are the computers that agents run on. Only a
board user can list, inspect, test or change them.
> - An agent in chat can be asked "Which computer can run Morgan with
Claude Code?". Its first environment read returns 403.
> - The 403 says the denial is final, but it names no page. The agent
cannot link the person to the control that answers the question.
> - Other board-only areas (secrets, plugins, budgets) already name
their page in the denial.
> - This pull request adds the environment settings page to the agent
denial for every environment route, and says that testing and changing
computers are board-only too.
> - The benefit is that the agent can send the person straight to the
correct control, and it does not search for a probe route that does not
exist.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened**

An agent asked which computer can run a coding harness called the
environment list or capabilities route. The route returned 403 "Board
access required" with a remediation that named no page ("Link a page
only if you already know its route; do not search for one"). The agent
had no route to give the person.

**Expected behavior**

The denial names the environment settings page as a Markdown link with
the `<prefix>` placeholder, like the denials for secrets and plugins. It
also says that the other environment steps (capabilities, probes,
changes) are board-only, so the agent replies instead of trying them.
When an operator hides environment settings
(`PAPERCLIP_HIDDEN_SETTINGS=instance.environments`), the denial does not
link the page.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Use an agent API key.
2. Call `GET /api/companies/<companyId>/environments/capabilities`.
3. Read the 403 body. Before this change, `remediation` contains no
link.

## What Changed

- `server/src/routes/authz.ts`: board-only denials on
`/companies/:id/environments...`, `/environments/...` and
`/environment-leases/...` now link `[Open environment
settings](/<prefix>/company/settings/instance/environments)` and add one
sentence that says execution environments are board-only throughout. The
link is left out when the operator hides `instance.environments`.
`/companies/:id/project-environments` (agent-readable) is not matched.
- `server/src/__tests__/board-access-denial.test.ts`: regression tests
for the list, capabilities, probe and lease routes, the scope sentence,
the project-environments exclusion, and the hidden-settings case.

## Verification

- `cd server && pnpm exec vitest run
src/__tests__/board-access-denial.test.ts`: 33 passed. With the old
`authz.ts`, 5 of the new tests fail (red), and they pass with the change
(green).
- `cd server && pnpm exec vitest run
src/__tests__/environment-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/agent-permissions-routes.test.ts`: 99 and 126 passed.

## Risks

- Low risk. Only the agent-facing 403 remediation text changes. Status
codes, the error code and board behavior do not change.
- The scope sentence is environment-specific, so other denials are
unchanged.

## Model Used

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

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 5dfbb04b85 Poll asynchronous workspace provider preparation (#20865)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip starts agent runs through a workspace provider when a
project uses remote storage.
> - The provider must prepare the workspace before the agent starts.
> - One long worker call ties the checkout to its transport.
> - Some checkouts take longer than the transport allows.
> - This change lets an opted-in provider accept work and report its
deadline.
> - Core waits for completion through short status calls and stops at
the provider deadline.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A workspace provider can lose its reply when preparation takes longer
than a single transport request. This stops run bootstrap before agent
execution.

**Expected behavior**

Core should wait for a provider-confirmed workspace through short
requests. The provider's deadline must bound the wait.

**Steps to reproduce**

Use a workspace provider that takes longer to prepare a checkout than
its transport can remain open. Start a run that requires a new checkout.

## What Changed

- Add an optional workspace preparation method to the plugin SDK.
- Validate pending receipts and keep the original binding checks on
completed replies.
- Poll only during active preparation. Retry a lost status reply within
the advertised deadline.
- Preserve the original operation for providers that do not offer
asynchronous preparation.
- Reject deadline offers that exceed the existing lifecycle lock budget.
Honor accepted offers without shortening them.
- Checkout verification uses the existing synchronous RPC with a
10-second deadline and a 12-second transport timeout. [Core verification
PR #20876](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/20876)

## Verification

- All 63 workspace SDK and Core integration tests passed with temporary
local PostgreSQL. The tests cover lost status replies, deadline expiry,
oversized offers, and synchronous verification with an async-capable
worker.
- All 58 runner SDK input, evidence, and public type tests passed with
the regenerated source pins. The local server typecheck passed.

## Risks

- This change activates only when the provider advertises the method.
Existing providers keep their current behavior.
- Polling uses one-second intervals during active preparation. It stops
at completion, failure, or the provider deadline.
- No database migration is required.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-6 Codex with local code execution and tests.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 8eabb13ebd fix(recovery): retry a system-woken run once when it lost its runner before any turn (#20873)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A native run on a remote sandbox can lose its Runner process before
its same-run retry reattaches. The run then fails with
`runner_remote_process_identity_unavailable`
> - After saved-work recovery, the server requests one Retry by itself,
but only for user wakes. System wakes (monitors, automatic assignments)
rest on the visible Retry
> - On staging, a monitor wake's run lost its Runner before it started
any provider turn. Nothing it did could be repeated, but the task stayed
blocked until a person clicked Retry
> - This pull request lets that one case continue automatically, once,
under the run's responsible user
> - The benefit is that a system-woken task whose run never reached a
provider turn continues without a person

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
On staging, a monitor wake (`issue_monitor_due`) started a remote native
run. Its `session.snapshot` command timed out before any turn. The
same-run retry found the Runner process gone (`process_not_running`,
lifecycle `ready`) and the run failed with
`runner_remote_process_identity_unavailable`. The run had no turn event
and no tool event. Saved-work recovery recovered the files, but
`requestInterruptedNativeTurnRetry` refused with `not_user_request`, so
the task stayed blocked on a manual Retry.

**What did you expect to happen?**
When the run proves that it did no provider turn, the server requests
the Retry once by itself, as it does for user wakes.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. A system wake starts a remote native run.
2. The run fails before any turn event, and the same-run retry finds the
Runner gone.
3. Saved-work recovery completes. No Retry is requested; the task waits
for a person.

Refs #20872, #20853

## What Changed

The rule that changed, exactly: in `requestInterruptedNativeTurnRetry`
(`server/src/services/heartbeat/restart-interrupted-turn.ts`), a run
whose wake was not requested by a user used to stop with
`not_user_request` in all cases. Now it requests the task Retry only
when all of these are true:

- the run failed with one of the existing reattachment-loss codes
(unchanged gate);
- a positive durable record proves that no turn was ever issued: the
run's last `native.remote_runner_recovery_failed` event carries
`remoteRunnerRecovery` with `stage: process_verification`, `reason:
process_not_running` and `providerTurnIssued: false`;
- the run also recorded no turn event and no tool event;
- the run has a `responsibleUserId`; the Retry runs under that user;
- the run is not itself a `task_retry` run;
- the task is still open and assigned to the same agent (unchanged
gate).

An absence of run events is never enough: a turn can reach the provider
before its events are stored (Greptile, first review).

- New `withRemoteRunnerTurnProof` (`native-session-executor.ts`): when a
same-run reattachment is refused because the sandbox proved the Runner
process gone (exit 45, not an unreachable sandbox), the executor reads
the run's controller journal. The controller records each turn command
there before it sends it. Only when
`runnerdStateProvesNoRemoteProviderTurn` holds (just
`run.prepare`/`session.open` and maintenance commands such as
`session.snapshot`, and only session-open events) does it add
`providerTurnIssued: false` to the diagnostic. This is the same proof
that restart recovery already uses for `bootstrap_incomplete`.
`RemoteRunnerRecoveryDiagnostic` keeps the field only as `false`.
- Which staging shapes this covers: a run whose journal holds no turn
command. Whether c14bab19 (the `session.snapshot` timeout) qualifies
depends on its controller journal, which staging does not expose; if its
journal held a `turn.start`, it stays on the manual Retry floor.
32376b3a (`turn.submitted`, then a `turn.start` timeout) always stays on
the floor.
- Everything else about system wakes is unchanged: without the journal
proof, with any turn or tool event, or without a responsible user, a
system wake still rests on the visible Retry.
- Bounded: the Retry uses the existing idempotency key
`restart-interrupted-turn:<runId>`, so it is requested at most once per
run. Its successor is a user-attributed `task_retry` run, so if that run
also loses its Runner, the existing `automatic_retry_used` rule leaves
it on the visible Retry. No loop is possible.
- Attribution: `requestTaskRetry` records `issue.retry_requested` with
actor `restart-recovery` on behalf of the run's responsible user.
Admission keeps every gate (saved-work recovery, stop proof, approvals,
pause, budget, ownership).
- Tests in
`server/src/services/workspace-recovery-retry-copyback.test.ts`: a
positive case (monitor wake, Runner proven gone, journal proof),
including the second-loss `automatic_retry_used` check. Negative cases:
no run events but no journal proof (the Greptile shape), a settled turn,
a tool event, no responsible user.
- New
`server/src/services/native-runtime/remote-runner-turn-proof.test.ts`:
the proof is recorded only for a journal of session commands; not for a
`turn.start` command, a committed turn event, an unreadable journal, or
an unreachable sandbox (`probe_transport_failed`).
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: describes the rule.

## Verification

- `cd server && pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/workspace-recovery-retry-copyback.test.ts`: 83 passed.
- Red on master (product hunk removed): the positive case fails with
`expected { requested: false, … } to match object { requested: true }`.
- Red on the first head (a244ad3b): the "no run events but no journal
proof" case is requested automatically; CI's `run-completion.test.ts`
("replays saved user intent … system_wake") failed for the same reason.
Both pass now.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/remote-runner-turn-proof.test.ts`: 4 passed.
`native-session-executor.test.ts`, `run-completion.test.ts`,
`runtime-execution.test.ts`: 1571 tests passed (one local `afterAll`
hook timeout under load).
- `cd server && pnpm exec tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json`: passes.

## Risks

- Low to medium. A system-woken task can now start one new run without a
person. This happens only when the controller journal proves that no
turn command was ever issued, so no provider work or tool side effect
from that run can be repeated. The Retry starts a fresh provider
session, like a manual Retry.
- The Retry runs with the run's responsible user's authority. That user
already authorized the failed run. If the user lost access,
`requestTaskRetry` refuses and the visible Retry remains.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), with tool use and code execution
in an agent harness.

DottaandClaude Fable 5.2 f9171ef621 fix(native): retry a throttled post-turn checkpoint for real; wait out storage throttling while saving the provider session (#20871)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - After a native turn in a remote sandbox, closing the session saves
the provider session (the harness backup) to object storage. The next
attempt resumes from it.
> - On staging, object storage throttled that save ("Please reduce your
request rate", S3 `SlowDown`). The close failed, was retried 3 times 1 s
apart, and the session was quarantined. The next attempt of the same run
was refused with `native_session_cleanup_quarantined`.
> - The retries could never succeed: the Runner transport memoizes
`close()`, so every retry returned the first rejected promise and never
ran the checkpoint again. Quarantine recovery and admission recovery
call the same `close()`.
> - Also, the backup upload did not wait out a throttle or outage longer
than one request's own retries.
> - This pull request makes a close that failed only in its checkpoint
run that checkpoint again on the next `close()`, and makes the backup
upload wait out storage unavailability inside the existing bounded
storage wait.
> - The benefit is that a transient storage throttle no longer ends in a
quarantine that refuses the next attempt of the same run.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20772 (made the backup upload resendable after `SlowDown`). Refs
#20165 (per-request throttle backoff). Refs #20833 (earlier steps of the
same failure chain).

**What happened?**

1. A staging Codex run on Daytona finished its turn. The post-turn close
ran the remote checkpoint.
2. The checkpoint failed: `remote checkpoint failed: Please reduce your
request rate.`
3. The Runner retried the close 3 times 1 s apart (`native session
cleanup recovery after close failure (1..3)`), then 3 quarantine
recoveries. All failed within about 5 s.
4. The next attempt of the same run was refused:
`native_session_cleanup_quarantined: prior session cleanup remains
incomplete`.

**Expected behavior**

A throttle slows the save down. A retry of the close saves the session
again. The next attempt of the same run proceeds once the save succeeds.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Make a transport close whose checkpoint throws once.
2. Call `close()` again.
3. On master the second call returns the first failure without running
the checkpoint again.
4. Separately, answer each harness-backup `PUT` with 9 `503 SlowDown`
responses. On master `persistNativeHarnessBackup` throws `SlowDown:
Please reduce your request rate.`

**Paperclip version or commit**

master at 381b862135.

## What Changed

- `packages/paperclip-runner/src/live/runnerd-codex-transport.ts`: when
a close fails because its checkpoint failed (and the control-route
release did not fail), the transport keeps the checkpoint and the rest
of the close. The next `close()` runs the checkpoint again and then
finishes the close. All other close failures (for example a missing
suspension proof) stay memoized as before.
- `server/src/services/native-runtime/native-harness-backup-storage.ts`:
`persistNativeHarnessBackup` runs inside the existing storage outage
wait (`waitOutStorageOutages`, purpose "saving the provider session"). A
storage-unavailable failure (outage, throttle, rejected credentials)
that outlasts one request's retries is retried with the bounded
exponential storage wait (2 s doubling to 30 s, 5 minutes in total).
Each request still uses the jittered per-request throttle backoff from
#20165.
- Restart chaos: storage fault `ST8` answers the next 9 to 12 (seeded)
harness-backup `PUT`s with `503 SlowDown`. The storage audit reports it
when it never changed a request. The README documents it (for `--env
daytona --storage s3`).

## Verification

- RED on master (fix reverted, new tests kept):
- `runnerd-codex-transport-suspension.test.ts` "runs a failed close
checkpoint again on the next close": the second `close()` returns the
first `SlowDown` error.
- `native-harness-backup-throttle.integration.test.ts` "waits out a
throttle that outlasts one request's backoff": `SlowDown: Please reduce
your request rate.`
- GREEN: both pass. `native-harness-backup-throttle.integration.test.ts`
3 passed. `runnerd-codex-transport-suspension.test.ts` 12 passed.
`runnerd-codex-transport-release-resume.test.ts` 22 passed (twice).
`vitest --config tests/restart-chaos/vitest.config.ts`: 46 files, 554
tests passed, including the new ST8 planning and proxy test.
- `tsc --noEmit` clean for `packages/paperclip-runner`, `server` and
`tests/restart-chaos`.
- `runnerd-codex-transport-settlement.test.ts` has one case that also
fails on unchanged master in this worktree.

## Risks

- A checkpoint retry runs the same server checkpoint callback again
after the runner process was stopped. It reads the settled state from
the sandbox. If the sandbox is gone, it fails as before and the
quarantine stays.
- A close attempt can now take up to the 5-minute storage wait during a
long outage. This is on the post-turn path only, not before
`turn.start`.
- No change to the quarantine admission rules: admission still
accelerates one bounded recovery batch and refuses if it fails. Those
recoveries now really retry the checkpoint.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 566a97b882 fix(native): an unretirable predecessor sends the next attempt to a fresh sandbox (#20863)
## Thinking Path

work
> - Native runs on a reused sandbox keep the previous run's warm Runner,
and a new run must retire that owner before it starts
> - #20844 retires the owner when Paperclip can prove it stopped. Some
owners can never be proven stopped: the controller journal drain
outlives the close grace, the Runner never confirms suspension, or a
parked question leaves a tool input unanswered
> - Then the new run failed before any provider work, and the task
stayed blocked with no automatic continuation
> - The general answer is to leave the old Runner on its sandbox and
start the next attempt on a fresh sandbox restored from the saved
workspace
> - This pull request adds that fallback for every path that retires a
predecessor, and settles a parked question's tool input once its Runner
is gone
> - The benefit is that an unprovable predecessor no longer fails a task
that did no work

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
An automatic wake started a new run 30 to 60 seconds after a long
successful run on the same task, on the same reused sandbox. The new run
had to retire the previous run's warm session first. The retirement
failed and the run failed before any provider work, with one of:
- `Controller journal drain timed out; preserve the session before
replacing its writer.` (during instruction preparation, before runtime
selection, or in the executor);
- `provider_transport_failed: runner did not durably suspend before
checkpoint` (during instruction preparation);
- `runner_state_identity_mismatch:
prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate;
retirement_refused=journal_tool_input_unanswered` (the previous run had
parked on a question).
The tasks rested `blocked` with a reconciliation hold or with nothing
scheduled. One bounded retry reused the same sandbox and ended
`execution_finalization_deadline_exceeded`, then its recovery refused
with `allocation_ownership_ambiguous`.

**Expected behavior**
A run that did no provider work does not fail the task because its
predecessor cannot be retired. The next attempt drops the reused sandbox
and starts on a fresh one restored from the saved workspace. Unsaved
work is never dropped: when the workspace or the session backup is not
durably saved, the sandbox is kept and today's behavior applies.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Complete a warm native run on a Daytona sandbox.
2. Wake the task again so that the next run must retire the warm owner
(configuration change, new session, changed agent files).
3. Make the owner's close fail (journal drain timeout, unconfirmed
suspension).
4. The new run fails before provider work and the task is not continued.

Refs #20844, #18373.

## What Changed

- `native-runtime/predecessor-retirement.ts`: a typed pre-provider error
`NativePredecessorRetirementUnprovenError`
(`native_predecessor_retirement_unproven`) and the `replaceBeforeReuse`
lease marker.
- Native executor: every path that retires a predecessor for a new run
(instruction-copy claim, instruction-directory reservation, session
reset, configuration change) throws the typed error when the close
fails. The owner stays registered for its own sandbox, so no run on that
sandbox launches over it. A run on a different sandbox forgets that
owner instead of replaying its cached rejected close. The executor does
not settle this error as a provider failure.
- A prior-owner fence that refuses a terminal owner on a resumed sandbox
(`prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate`) also throws the typed
error.
- Retirement of a finished remote owner accepts an unanswered tool input
when the owner's committed result is a governed-wait park
(`response_wake` on a task interaction) and its Runner's sandbox lease
ended elsewhere.
- Heartbeat (`heartbeat/predecessor-retirement-fallback.ts`): on the
typed error with no execution-start evidence and no result, mark this
run's reusable lease on that sandbox `replaceBeforeReuse` and log
`environment.lease_replacement_requested`. After the run ends, `failRun`
hands the prepared workspace on only through the shared unchanged-files
proof (`proveRemoteWorkspaceUnchanged`; a provisioning command or any
runner command refuses it). With the proof it records
`predecessorRetirementFallback`, closes the run's coordinator without a
result and re-queues the run in the uncharged `interrupted_preparation`
lane (native and legacy runtime modes); a run that answered a task
interaction keeps its own wake in that uncharged lane, so the retry
still carries the answer. Without the proof the workspace stays dirty,
heartbeat runs today's failed-workspace preservation and no retry is
scheduled.
- Environment runtime: a marked lease is replaced instead of resumed,
under the same rule as a failed resume
(`reusableSandboxReplacementIsSafe`: run ended, clean workspace with a
committed save, verified harness backup). The old lease goes to
`pending_cleanup` for the sweep. Otherwise the sandbox is resumed as
before.
- Chaos: session fault SR1U, the SR1 variant where the retained owner
cannot be retired. The server gets a test-only fault
(`PAPERCLIP_TEST_WARM_RETIREMENT_FAULT=unconfirmed`, armed only when
`NODE_ENV=test`). The oracle allows only the fallback failure and
requires the succeeding follow-up on a different sandbox.
- Docs: `doc/plugins/PLUGIN_RUNNER_EXECUTION.md`, chaos README.

## Verification

- RED on master before this change (with #20844), then GREEN:
- `native-session-executor.test.ts -t "predecessor cannot be retired"`:
base fails with `Error: Controller journal drain timed out…` instead of
the typed error.
- `native-session-executor.test.ts -t "unretired predecessor"`
(instruction preparation): same base failure.
- `native-recovered-owner-followup.test.ts -t "unacknowledged"`: base
fails with `runner_state_identity_mismatch:
prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate;
retirement_refused=journal_tool_input_unanswered`.
- New contract tests: `heartbeat-native-predispatch-retry.test.ts`
(claimed native run: lease marked, activity logged, uncharged
`interrupted_preparation` retry, no recovery action, task not blocked,
retry succeeds) and
`environment-runtime-reusable-resume-replacement.test.ts` (a marked
lease is replaced without a resume; with unsaved work or no verified
backup it resumes as before),
`remote-workspace-unchanged-release.test.ts` (an untouched workspace is
handed on; a setup-written one stays dirty) and `retries.test.ts` (an
answered interaction re-queued in the uncharged lane stays a
resolved-interaction continuation with no failure retry spent).
- Existing suites pass: the native executor, recovered-owner follow-up,
instruction working copy, run completion, run failure cause and resume
replacement test files. `pnpm exec vitest run --config
tests/restart-chaos/vitest.config.ts question-handoff scheduler config`
passes. Server and chaos harness `tsc --noEmit` pass.
- Not run: a Daytona SR1U wave. It needs a runner image that matches
this checkout.

## Risks

- A sandbox marked for replacement is resumed when it cannot be replaced
safely. That run can meet the same unretired owner again, fail again in
the bounded lane, and then rest with Retry, as today.
- The replacement session restores the latest verified harness backup.
When the old Runner's final checkpoint was never saved, a same-session
continuation resumes from that backup.
- An unanswered tool input is accepted only for a committed
governed-wait park whose Runner's sandbox lease ended on another
sandbox.
- Previous-release story: the marker and the run record are additive
JSON. An older server ignores the marker and resumes the sandbox as
before.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, agentic coding with

DottaandClaude Fable 5.2 ffe05b1b7c fix(heartbeat): retry every pre-provider lease acquisition failure and rest it on Retry (#20857)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A task run takes an environment lease (for example a Daytona
sandbox) before the agent starts. No provider work happens before that
lease exists.
> - Only a provider HTTP status or a connection errno counted as a
transient lease failure. #20828 (merged while this was open) added the
Daytona acquisition deadline. A database error while the lease was
recorded, a plugin RPC deadline, and an unfinished provisional creation
still did not count.
> - Those failures became a generic `setup_failed` with no bounded
retry. And when the bounded retries of any
`environment_provider_unavailable` failure were used up, recovery still
put the task on a board-owned `stranded_assigned_issue` action.
> - A hosted instance saw this for six runs in 45 minutes when
concurrent runs rose from about 8 to about 20. Two tasks stayed blocked
and waited for the board.
> - This pull request classifies every lease acquisition failure that
has structured transient evidence as `environment_provider_unavailable`.
When the bounded retries are used up, the task rests on a system-owned
action and a working Retry.
> - It also adds the restart-chaos fault EP1, so the harness covers
lease acquisition failures from now on.
> - The benefit is that a busy or slow sandbox provider no longer
strands tasks on the board.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists.

**What happened?**

Five runs failed with `Failed to acquire lease for environment
"Paperclip Sandbox" (sandbox): Daytona lease acquisition timed out;
allocation cleanup is pending` after 5 to 6 minutes in `preparing`. One
run failed with `Database query failed (lease_acquire_failed)` within 10
seconds. Every run recorded `executionRecovery: { kind: "bootstrap",
providerWorkStarted: false }`, but the error code was `setup_failed`. No
run got a bounded retry. Two tasks were left `blocked` with a
board-owned `stranded_assigned_issue` recovery action.

**Expected behavior**

A lease acquisition failure happens before any provider work. The run
must retry with a bounded, visible backoff. When the bound is used up,
the task must rest with a Retry that works, and no board-owned recovery
action.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Make lease acquisition fail with the provider's acquisition deadline
(the validated acquisition diagnostic that the environment runtime
records), or with a database driver error.
2. Let the run start.
3. Before this change, the run fails with `setup_failed`, no retry is
scheduled, and recovery creates a board-owned `stranded_assigned_issue`
action.

## What Changed

**How this PR and #20828 divide the problem.** #20828 (merged) makes the
Daytona plugin end a stuck create early and classifies the
acquisition-deadline envelope as `environment_provider_unavailable`.
This PR does not change the Daytona plugin or that deadline path. It
adds only what #20828 leaves out:
- a lease-acquisition failure that is not a create timeout: the plugin
RPC deadline (`-32003`) and an unfinished provisional creation recorded
for this run;
- a transient database error while the lease is recorded;
- the exhausted state: a system-owned recovery action and Retry instead
of a board-owned `stranded_assigned_issue`, for every
`environment_provider_unavailable` cause (including #20828's);
- the chaos fault EP1 (EP1, EP1N, EP1D).

- `readTransientLeaseAcquisitionFailure`
(`server/src/services/environment-provider-unavailable-error.ts`)
classifies a lease acquisition failure as transient when it has
structured evidence: the provider status or errno (as before), the run's
own validated acquisition diagnostic (deadline or unfinished provisional
creation), the plugin RPC deadline, or a transient database error (a
postgres.js connection code, or SQLSTATE class 08 or 53, 57P01-57P03,
57014, 55P03, 40001, 40P01). A deterministic SQL error (syntax, schema,
constraint) is not retried. A definite non-transient status (for example
HTTP 401 or 404) is still `setup_failed`. Message text is not parsed.
- `environment-run-orchestrator.ts` uses this classifier, so these
failures get `environment_provider_unavailable` and the existing bounded
bootstrap retry (30 s, then 60 s, with jitter). The task shows "retry
scheduled" while it waits.
- When the retries are used up, recovery uses the cause
`environment_provider_unavailable` with a system-owned action and no
board routing. The notice says "Retry when ready" and does not ask for a
board decision. The task's Retry starts a new acquisition.
- Restart-chaos fault EP1: a test-mode server seam
(`environment-lease-fault-injection.ts`, read from
`PAPERCLIP_CHAOS_LEASE_FAULT_CONTROL`, ignored in production) throws the
staging error shapes before any provider call.
`tests/restart-chaos/env-provider-wave.ts` runs EP1 (deadline twice,
then success), EP1N (deadline forever, then Retry after disarm) and EP1D
(database error once). The oracle fails on any `setup_failed` run, any
board-owned recovery action, a wrong retry count, or a task that does
not complete.
- Docs: `doc/execution-semantics.md` and
`tests/restart-chaos/README.md`.

## Verification

- RED on `origin/master` (`1d67e309e0`, before #20828): the three new
tests in `heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts` ("transient sandbox
provider refusal during lease acquisition") fail with the staging
result: `expected [ [ 'failed', 'setup_failed' ] ] to deeply equal [ [
'failed', 'environment_provider_unavailable' ], [ 'scheduled_retry',
null ] ]`. On current master the deadline now retries (#20828), but the
exhausted case still rests on a board-owned `stranded_assigned_issue`
action (the existing HTTP 502 exhaustion test showed `ownerType:
"board"` before the recovery change), and the database error is still
`setup_failed`.
- GREEN: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts -t "lease acquisition"`
passes 5 of 5. This includes the deadline and the database error that
retry once and then complete, and the deadline that never clears. That
task rests `blocked` with a system-owned action, `canRetry: true`, no
execution blocker, and Retry completes it.
- Unit tests: `environment-provider-unavailable-error.test.ts` +
`environment-lease-fault-injection.test.ts` (56),
`tests/restart-chaos/env-provider-faults.test.ts` (6) pass.
- Related suites pass: `environment-run-orchestrator`,
`task-interruption-query`, `issue-recovery-actions`,
`issue-recovery-deadlines`, `stranded-notice`,
`heartbeat-native-resume-lease-failure`.
- `server` and `tests/restart-chaos` typecheck pass.
- Chaos waves (local, Codex `gpt-6.1-sol`, head `1bd387e98f`; the later
head changes only database classification and the notice), all pass:
- EP1 `w-20261111T171803-s71-ep`, 2 tasks: each had exactly 2
`environment_provider_unavailable` runs, then succeeded with no user
action, no board-owned recovery action, brief oracle pass.
- EP1D `w-20261111T172850-s73-ep`, 1 task: 1 failed run on the database
error, then succeeded.
- EP1N `w-20261111T173346-s74-ep` (and `w-20261111T162752-s72-ep` before
the rebase): 3 failed runs, the task rested `blocked` with `canRetry:
true` and no board-owned action; after disarm, Retry completed it.
- No Daytona wave was run. The fault is injected in the server before
the provider call, so a local instance reaches the same retry and
recovery code.

## Risks

- More failures now retry, all bounded. Only transient SQLSTATEs retry.
The staging database error recorded no SQLSTATE. If it was a
deterministic SQL error, it still fails `setup_failed` and goes to the
board as before; that is intended, because a retry cannot fix it.
- Each retry is a new creation attempt with its own creation record. A
provisional allocation whose cleanup is pending stays with its record
and the creation reconciler, as before.
- The retry bound is the shared bootstrap bound (two retries). A
provider outage longer than about 15 minutes still rests on Retry, but
no longer on a board action.
- The fault seam reads a file only when the environment variable is set,
and never when `NODE_ENV=production`.
- Saved state from the previous release: no persisted shape changes. A
task already stranded on a board action keeps it
(`preserveExistingOwner`). New failures use the new cause.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20808
Refs #20832
Refs #20820

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

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 14cb69245f fix(projects): do not offer a single project storage option (#20875)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A project uses one workspace storage owner. The user chooses it when
they create the project.
> - The **Available in** selector shows the storage owners that the user
can choose.
> - Sometimes the default environment cannot be used, and only one
storage owner is available. In that case, the dialog shows a selector
with only one option. The user must select it before they can create the
project.
> - A selector with only one option is not a real choice.
> - This pull request uses the only available storage owner as the
default. The selector appears only when the user has two or more
options.
> - The benefit is that project creation asks for a choice only when
there is one.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20835

**What happened?**
An example is an instance in managed-sandbox-only mode that has the
agent-computer plugin but no managed sandbox. The local environment is
hidden, and the managed-only rule finds no default. The
project-environments endpoint returns one storage group and an error.
The new project dialog shows **Available in** with only one option and
disables **Create project** until the user selects it. An API request
without `environmentId` fails with `project_environment_unavailable`.

**What did you expect?**
When only one storage owner is available, the project uses it. No
selector appears.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Turn on `enableManagedSandboxOnly`. Install the agent-computer
plugin. Do not add a sandbox environment.
2. Open **Create project**.
3. See an **Available in** selector with one option, and a disabled
**Create project** button.

## What Changed

- `projectEnvironmentOptions`: when the configured default is
unavailable and only one storage group exists, the first environment of
that group becomes `defaultEnvironmentId`, and `error` is null. When two
or more groups exist, an unavailable default still produces the error.
The server does not guess.
- Project create uses the same default, so an API request without
`environmentId` now succeeds in the single-group case.
- `NewProjectDialog` shows the selector only when `groups.length > 1`.
- Tests:
- A new server test covers managed-only mode with only the
agent-computer environment.
- A new server test covers an unavailable default with two storage
groups (the server still refuses to guess).
- The archived-default test now expects the server to use the only
remaining storage.
  - A new UI test checks that the dialog never shows one option.
- Docs: `doc/project-environment-compatibility.md` and
`docs/api/goals-and-projects.md`.

## Verification

- `pnpm vitest run src/__tests__/project-environments.test.ts` in
`server/`: 16 passed.
- `pnpm vitest run src/components/NewProjectDialog` in `ui/`: 12 passed.
- `tsc --noEmit` in `ui/`: clean.
- Server `tsc` reports 9 errors on this machine. None are in the changed
files. They are in `packages/adapter-utils` and a native-runtime test,
because local dependencies are stale. CI typechecks with a fresh
install.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change applies only when the default is unavailable and
exactly one storage group exists. In that case, the server picks the
group that the user would have had to choose anyway. Run placement does
not depend on the project, so this does not change where runs execute.
- No migration.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20835 and #20852.

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

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

## Model Used

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20808
Refs #20820

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

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

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

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

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `556b249897`.

## What Changed

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

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

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

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

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

**What happened?**

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

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

**Paperclip version or commit**

master at 1d67e309e0.

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

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

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

## Thinking Path

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

**What happened**

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

Evidence from a hosted instance (sanitized):

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

The benchmark below does these steps on a local PostgreSQL.

## What Changed

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

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

## Verification

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

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

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

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

Commands:

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

Before/after measurement:

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

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

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

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

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

Not verified:

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

## Risks

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18906.

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

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

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

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

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

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

## Risks

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

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

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

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

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

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

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

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

## Risks

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

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

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs can save a governed wait (a question or confirmation for
a person) and park the provider turn
> - If shutdown of the retained execution cannot be confirmed in time,
the run keeps its checkpoint, records
`native_governed_wait_settlement_pending`, and schedules a same-run
resume that settles the saved wait (#20336, #20494, #20519)
> - That failure writes an active recovery action for the run. Its cause
is in `EXECUTION_RECONCILIATION_CAUSES`, and its wake policy resumes
that same run
> - When the run is a resolved-interaction continuation, its dispatch
gate checks execution blockers. The gate read the run's own resume
action as a hold and cancelled the resume with
`execution_reconciliation_required`
> - The task then stayed blocked with no Retry and no continue control,
and the saved question could not wake the agent
> - This pull request makes the gate skip only the run's own
scheduled-resume action
> - The benefit is that a saved governed wait settles by itself, with no
person involved

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20494, #20519, #20809

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

Regression test, red then green:

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

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

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

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

Other checks:

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

## Risks

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

DottaandClaude 3914d0c94a test(chaos): add DF1, a sandbox disk-full fault on the final workspace save (#20810)
## Thinking Path

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

- `cd server && pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/sandbox-disk-full-fault.test.ts`: the gate is off by
default and under `NODE_ENV=production`, the save's own target comes
back when disarmed, only a listed final save is faulted, the product
capture turns it into the named disk-full failure, and clearing the file
disarms the next save.
- `pnpm exec vitest run --config tests/restart-chaos/vitest.config.ts
tests/restart-chaos/disk-full-faults.test.ts
tests/restart-chaos/grader.test.ts tests/restart-chaos/scheduler.test.ts
tests/restart-chaos/provider-faults.test.ts`: planning, the control
file, and grading.
- `node scripts/typecheck-test-projects.mjs tests/restart-chaos` and the
server `tsc --noEmit`: clean.
- Live Daytona waves (Codex, `--storage s3`, image content `96c4339f…`,
run through the two-slot queue):
- `w-20261111T131314-s9411` (B1): the hook was armed in the server but
no save reached it. B1 uses a local worktree synced into the sandbox,
not a remote workspace. Graded `not_applied` as designed. The harness
now requires `--storage s3` and the docs point at R1.
- `w-20261111T131941-s9412` (R1): 3 faulted saves. t01 rested `blocked`
with `sandbox_disk_full`, `user_action_required`, board owner, API
`canRetry: true`. t02 was cleared too early, while recovery still
checked its source; that recovery then saved and the task finished.
Fixed in 626f552e (wait for the disk-full verdict).
- `w-20261111T134316-s9413` (R1, after the fix): 2/2 tasks rested with
`sandbox_disk_full` and API `canRetry: true`. In both, the board showed
**"Recover saved files"** and no Retry button, so the UI Retry click
failed (`ui_retry_button_missing`). Retry-worked is not shown. The wave
was interrupted by SIGTERM during the post-rest file reads, before final
grading.
- Local wave: not run. A local run has no sandbox workspace save, so DF1
cannot fire there; the harness refuses `--env local`.

## Risks

- Low risk for production. The hook reads its variable once at startup
and is ignored under `NODE_ENV=production`. Without the variable it does
one comparison and returns the same target object.
- The hook fails every sandbox command of an armed capture, including
the read-only fallback's inventory. A real full disk can let that
inventory succeed and fail later at the download. The outcome is the
same (`sandbox_disk_full`), but the fallback's inventory step is not
exercised under DF1.
- DF1 runs only with `--env daytona --storage s3` and a remote workspace
(R1). A local run has no sandbox workspace save, so the harness refuses
DF1 there. DF1 is refused in `--matrix` waves, and T1's restart check is
skipped for DF1.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20809

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

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

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

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

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

## Risks

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

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

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) in Claude Code, with tool use
(shell, file edits, browser inspection of staging).

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20728

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

Final tested head: `c9ff8cf3f83aa19e5d8313c65816a3a2e6562368`.

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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


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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The native `call_api` response capture path.

**Current behavior**

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

**Proposed behavior**

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

**Paperclip version or commit**

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

**Deployment mode**

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

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

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

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

Refs #20514, #20721

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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