Nicky LeachandPaperclip c30fb7d2b7 refactor(core): share Runner execution lifecycle (#16318)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Core starts Runners in local, SSH, and sandbox environments.
> - Coding runs, Dot runs, and setup probes repeat connection setup
code.
> - These paths must keep the same preparation, authentication, and
cleanup order.
> - This pull request gives them one execution lifecycle contract and
one server connection driver.
> - Core keeps the existing PRP control plane after connection.
> - The benefit is one place to maintain environment routing before
adding another execution provider.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Runner environment preparation and connection setup across local, SSH,
and sandbox execution.

**Current behavior**

The coding transport owns the environment hook type. Dot borrows that
type. The server repeats connection selection, registration, ingress
activation, and release in task execution and setup probes. Changes to
one path can miss another path.

**Proposed behavior**

Use a shared `RunnerExecutionDriver` contract. Route built-in task
execution and remote setup probes through
`createNativeRunnerExecutionDriver`. Keep provider session setup,
process supervision, PRP commands, and recovery logic on their existing
paths.

**Reason and benefit**

Environment code can prepare resources and provide a connection without
adding another PRP execution path. The same driver preserves local
loopback, remote outbound WSS, and authorized sandbox ingress.

**Breaking changes**

None intended. Existing flat SDK options remain compatible. This is an
in-process contract. It does not add a plugin wire contract or Launcher
APIs.

**Additional context**

Related: #15406 proposes plugin-provided Runner execution. This change
starts from `master` and does not depend on that PR. It extracts the
existing lifecycle before adding another provider. Related: #16125
covers remote environment support for external adapters; this PR does
not implement that feature.

## What Changed

- Extract and export `RunnerExecutionDriver` from the coding transport.
Use it for coding and Dot options.
- Share server connection negotiation across coding runs, Dot runs, and
remote setup probes.
- Preserve outbound validation before staging, capability checks before
ingress, process dispatch before ingress connection, and verified
process readiness.
- Preserve warm run registration, restart guards, checkpoint hooks, and
cleanup ownership.
- Add 13 focused driver tests and document the lifecycle boundary.

## Verification

- Targeted server execution and recovery tests: 728 passed, 35 skipped.
These cover `native-session-executor`, `native-ssh-command-runner`, the
new driver, warm restart transitions, and Runner restart recovery.
- Targeted setup and driver tests: 109 passed after the review fix.
Twelve driver tests overlap with the preceding count. The added test
verifies that failed CA staging cannot leave a PRP route behind.
- Runner connectivity tests: 11 passed.
- Runner package lifecycle tests: 287 passed across coding transport,
Dot, restart continuation, and settlement. These exercised the compiled
Rust Runner.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed.
- `pnpm build`: passed.
- `git diff --check`: passed. Local secret-pattern scan: clear.
- The PRP transport runtime and remote process launcher remain
unchanged. A byte comparison against the base confirmed this.
- CI passed on `b10789dfce30a837ce890f44e352064c7a74366f`: all 55 active
checks are green, including the full test shards, Runner checks, browser
tests, typecheck, build, and aggregate gate. Greptile scored this commit
5/5 with no unresolved findings.
- An earlier broad local shard run was not green: 34,888 passed, 12
failed, and 4,125 skipped. Failures were ten timeouts and two Git
fixture assertions affected by local `init.defaultBranch=main`. Isolated
retry passed all six non-route timeout suites (427 tests), two route
suites, and both Git assertions with a test-process-only
`init.defaultBranch=master`. The agent live-run route retry still timed
out. No unrelated source changes were made. Further broad local runs
were stopped at the user's request.

Targeted commands:

```sh
cd server
node ../node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts src/services/native-runtime/native-ssh-command-runner.test.ts src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-execution-driver.test.ts src/services/native-runtime/native-warm-transition-restart.integration.test.ts src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts --config vitest.config.ts
node ../node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run src/services/native-runtime/setup-readiness.test.ts src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-execution-driver.test.ts --config vitest.config.ts
cd ../packages/paperclip-runner
node ../../node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run src/live/runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts src/drivers/dot/runnerd-dot-driver.test.ts src/live/runnerd-restart-continuation.test.ts src/live/runnerd-codex-transport-settlement.test.ts --maxWorkers=2
cd ../..
node node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run packages/adapter-utils/src/runner-connectivity.test.ts
```

## Risks

- Startup ordering and connection cleanup are sensitive. Focused tests
cover local registration, outbound validation, CA mapping, ingress
ordering, release, and warm authority guards.
- No live SSH host or sandbox provider was used. Existing mocked remote
tests and real local Runner tests passed.
- No database, PRP wire protocol, or Launcher API changes are included.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 via Codex, with tool use and code execution. The served
model variant and context window were not exposed to this task.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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