3 people	b06ea111a2	fix(server): schedule skill cache retention from changes and saved deadlines (#17923) ... <!-- entire-trail-link-start --> https://entire.com/gh/paperclipai/-/trails/83/changes/paperclip/83 <!-- entire-trail-link-end --> ## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work. > - The server caches saved skill versions on disk so runs can restore their exact instructions. > - The old retention owner scans company rows every hour, even after all caches are protected or removed. > - Cache publication, version changes, and pin release already have local or transaction-owned boundaries. > - Grace windows and terminal controller leases already have saved timestamps. > - This pull request uses those changes and deadlines to drive the existing bounded prune service. > - Idle retention stops SQL and directory reads while pending cleanup remains recoverable. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description Stack slice 64. Parent: #17876 (`codex/sleep-63-agent-timer-deadlines`). Related: #15625 establishes transaction-owned work signals. #17907 independently keeps an active cache-lock transaction alive; this PR preserves that lock and does not duplicate that repair. **What happened?** At parent `31c12f1d68ff4a51e06fc2be2abf2c2aee9f9d3a`, skill-version retention has an hourly company scan, a startup timeout, and separate continuation timers. Empty or permanently protected caches still cause recurring SQL. **Expected behavior** Reconstruct once, inspect changed companies, and schedule saved access/staging grace or terminal controller deadlines. Stop recurring work when no timed or uncertain obligation remains. Keep current/newest/agent/run protection, restorable-byte validation, cache locking, final pin revalidation, atomic rename, and trash recovery. **Steps to reproduce** Start an enabled server with no cached versions, or only current/pinned versions. After the initial scan, advance an hour. The old interval selects companies again. The new worker has no deadline and performs no retention SQL or directory scan in that state. ## What Changed - Signal the missing-local-source reconciliation deletion in its transaction. Limit fresh scans of a successfully observed company to one per thirty seconds. Keep one-second page continuations and actual saved deadlines independent. Empty or uncertain passes do not delay first publication. - Restart a company scan if drain interrupts inspection or post-rename trash cleanup. Restore bounded candidate/byte logging with dry-run mode. Three controlled cases failed before repair and the complete 34-case retention suite passes afterward. - Register retention through the delivery coordinator and shared scheduler. Remove the hourly, startup, and continuation timers from `index.ts`. Track startup work without delaying readiness. Stop delivery work before closing retained iterators. - Keep one active company cursor and bounded 50-entry passes. Preserve observed deadlines across pages and bound company discovery to 51 rows per page. Retain concrete company failures and incomplete pins for retry. - Report saved grace and terminal controller deadlines from the existing cache owner. PostgreSQL remains the controller-lease authority. Current/newest/agent pins do not arm unrelated lease checks. - Wake on cache publication, rejected materialization, and access markers. Signal version creation/deletion and agent configuration/hire changes in their owning transactions. Extend existing instruction, finalization/environment, and retained-session fanouts with company hints. - Route reused provider-task prior-owner retirement through `writeEnvironmentCleanup`, so that supported pin-release write also settles a notification. - Add an optional scope callback to `registerDeadlineWork`. Existing consumers omit it and keep their behavior. The feature owns persistence predicates; startup only registers it. Add no table or migration. Full producer audit, shared-contract explanation, lifecycle evidence, and limitations: [`doc/plans/2026-10-27-skill-version-retention-sleep-audit.md`](doc/plans/2026-10-27-skill-version-retention-sleep-audit.md). ## Verification - Reconciled all existing sleep changes with actual master `7e27bc5007c8f9cb8cdce06c24f9813e27f7120f` through normal merges. All 24 retention-owned and 95 unrelated upstream paths are preserved; package, UI, E2E and map trees equal master. - Combined-source qualification: **1,009 TypeScript cases across 42 complete files**, plus **28 Rust cases** in two targets. One intentional Linux-inotify-only adapter case is skipped on this macOS host. Coverage includes actual retention/cache/producer/runtime behavior, startup, shared deadline consumers, changed OpenCode/observability and native execution boundaries. - After the subsequent task-index/task-read upstream merges, **85 cases across six complete files** passed on final source `d9277b1858a2230bdb726974c90a0c9bc5c5ebe6`: real retention/cache/work, task reads/query behavior and concurrent migration repair. Counts overlap earlier coverage. Fresh PostgreSQL 17 schemas apply all 413 journal entries through index 414. - Database/adapter/Runner builds, production server and Runner typechecking, module boundaries, target migration order and generated TypeScript/Rust release-profile consistency pass. Selected source hashes and temporary fixture imports restore exactly. - Reproduced and repaired Greptile's own-company due-cleanup P2 with identical old-worker-failing/new-worker-passing assertions. The 30-second ordinary scan floor remains; already-due cleanup receives its owed scan and disarms afterward. Earlier 799-case and fresh-blank-plugin acceptance remain in the audit. - **Inherited validation exception:** the separate Copilot source-identity check fails after upstream OpenCode reserved-environment changes; all 72 identity inputs equal current master. No provider release attestation is regenerated or new live qualification claimed here. Required exact-head CI/security and Greptile 5/5 still must pass. - Historical results, repair details and limitations remain in [the retention audit](doc/plans/2026-10-27-skill-version-retention-sleep-audit.md). No full local repository-suite, live provider, production-load, external-alarm, measured suspend/wake or fleet-savings claim. - CI on the prior published head found four connection-review assertions racing the concealed conversation after reload. Its fresh Greptile/Ponytail reviews were both 5/5, but the failing browser gate was not waived or retried unchanged. The fixture now foregrounds the task tab and waits for visible history before retaining all existing saved-result assertions. The full file passes four journeys locally; the controlled-restart case is intentionally skipped by the default configuration. Original local journeys also passed unchanged, so no deterministic local red reproduction is claimed. See the audit for CI failure artifacts and scope. Runtime and prior sleep-test sources remain unchanged. ## Risks - Supported live writers are the existing service/API owners in one process. Independent SQL/FS writers need an ingress contract. Startup reconstruction covers restarts. - Notifications cause a bounded inspection; they do not authorize deletion. Durable pin predicates and the cache lock remain authoritative. - A database clock behind application time can require another one-second check of the concrete expired controller lease. Unknown pins, lock contention, and failed inspection retain retries until resolved. - The in-process scheduler cannot wake stopped compute. This PR preserves Cloud sleep-safety gates and external-alarm coverage. It does not prove deployed suspension or fleet savings. Cache reclamation can wait until a supported wake when compute is stopped. - Native-harness backup retention and the other remaining duties are separate stack slices. ## Model Used OpenAI Codex (GPT-6-based coding agent), using repository inspection, normal Git merges, composition proofs, a controlled red/green regression and complete PostgreSQL/filesystem integration suites. No subagents were used in this reconciliation. ## Checklist - [x] I have included a thinking path that traces from project context to this change - [x] I have specified the model used (with version and capability details) - [x] I have checked ROADMAP.md and confirmed this PR does not duplicate planned core work - [x] I have searched GitHub for duplicate or related PRs and linked them above - [x] I have either (a) linked existing issues with `Fixes: #` / `Closes #` / `Refs #` OR (b) described the issue in-PR following the relevant issue template - [x] I have not referenced internal/instance-local Paperclip issues or links (only public GitHub `#NNN` / `github.com/paperclipai/paperclip` URLs) - [x] My branch name describes the change (e.g. `docs/...`, `fix/...`) and contains no internal Paperclip ticket id or instance-derived details - [x] I have run tests locally and they pass - [x] I have added or updated tests where applicable - [x] I have updated relevant documentation to reflect my changes - [x] I have considered and documented any risks above - [ ] All Paperclip CI gates are green - [ ] Greptile is 5/5 with no open P2s, recommendations, or follow-ups - [x] I will address all Greptile and reviewer comments before requesting merge --------- Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing> Co-authored-by: Codex <noreply@openai.com>	2026-10-29 10:14:12 -05:00
3 people	ba07f85cad	perf: schedule agent timers from durable deadlines (#17876) ... <!-- entire-trail-link-start --> https://entire.com/gh/paperclipai/-/trails/58/changes/paperclip/58 <!-- entire-trail-link-end --> ## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work. > - Agent timers must start due work and preserve queue admission rules. > - The server woke their scan on every heartbeat interval, even with no eligible timer. > - Idle scans keep the database and instance active. > - This pull request derives the next deadline from saved policy and work records. > - Supported producer transactions notify the shared coordinator when eligibility changes. > - An idle timer worker stops scanning and resumes when real work or a deadline requires it. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description Refs #17863. This is slice 63 of the recurring-work migration and follows the merged issue-monitor deadline PR. Related: #16632 changes timer issue scope; #16881 changes live-run eligibility. This PR preserves the current admission policy. Those policy changes are separate work. A future time-sensitive predicate must expose its next transition deadline. **What existing behavior does this improve?** Agent timer heartbeat scheduling in the server. **Current behavior** A recurring heartbeat wakes the timer scan even when companies are paused, timers are disabled, or no actionable task exists. **Proposed behavior** Register the earliest eligible interval or positive daily-cap reset deadline. Re-read on supported producer commits and startup. Leave no recurring database scan when no timer obligation remains. ## What Changed - Keep policy and deadline calculation in the heartbeat queue. Scheduling retains company, reporting-chain, worktree, and CAS gates. - Use the existing deadline coordinator. Remove only the timer wake from the server heartbeat loop. - Notify before existing transaction writes that change eligibility or deadlines. Cover configuration, lifecycle, company budgets, task ownership, recovery, conversations, accounting corrections, and completion. - Use the lifecycle status-change hook for saved hire rejection. Cover checkout's second adoption transaction after an initial failed CAS. - Preserve pending work through idle and maintenance drains. Check cancellation between due agents. Reconstruct on restart. - Document the supported writer model and producer inventory. Add no schema, table, or provider branch. ## Verification - **1,710 passing cases across 49 complete files**, no skips, on accepted source `32db86c1974dcbf794f01a8c5e42024e2ad071fc`. Coverage includes real timer policy/CAS/producers, monitor and shared deadline consumers, native reconstruction, Slack lifecycle, skills/settings/configuration, queue isolation and agent lifecycle. - Database build, production server typechecking/build, module boundaries, target migration order and Runner profile identity pass. Twenty-nine fresh PostgreSQL 17 schemas plus per-file fixtures applied all 412 journal entries through index 413; all selected source hashes and temporary fixture imports were restored exactly. - Four new deadline composition cases verify future/overdue timing, minimum scan spacing and disarming. A controlled mutation dropping only the inherited continuation option fails; the composed source passes with identical assertions and timers. - Normal parent reconciliation preserves task-drain expiry and both deadline contracts. The final monitor-parent publication changes only its audit, preserving every qualified runtime and selected test source. - Historical failures and review corrections remain in [the timer audit](doc/idle-agent-timers.md). No full local repository-suite, live provider, measured suspend/wake, external-alarm or fleet-savings claim. Final-head CI/security, exact-head Greptile 5/5 and actionable Ponytail findings remain separate merge gates. ## Risks - Process-local notifications cover supported service/API writers in one server process. Direct SQL and independent replicas need an explicit ingress contract. Startup reconstruction is not live cross-process notification. - Notifications can batch for up to the configured heartbeat interval. Known deadlines retain their scheduler path; failed reconciliation retains bounded retry. - Enabled timers without an actionable-work requirement remain real recurring obligations. Zero caps require policy changes; positive reached caps use UTC midnight. - The timer fixture substitutes adapter enqueue. Existing admission tests also pass, but this is not deployed provider or sleep qualification. - Cloud does not gain legacy agent timer alarms in this PR. Existing sleep-safety blockers remain. No database/host suspension or fleet savings claim is made. - Parent-stack CI and review must pass before merge. This PR does not authorize merging its dependencies. ## Model Used OpenAI Codex (GPT-6-based coding agent), using repository inspection, normal Git merges, composition proofs, a controlled red/green regression and complete PostgreSQL integration suites.

3 people	4d0847c4ca	fix(server): settle external conversations from committed work (#17772) ... <!-- entire-trail-link-start --> https://entire.com/gh/paperclipai/-/trails/6/changes/paperclip/6 <!-- entire-trail-link-end --> ## Thinking Path > - Paperclip manages AI agents and the tasks that they execute. > - External conversations must become idle after an authorized response is published and all related work is complete. > - Native replay and stranded-task recovery still discover this settlement work through recurring scans. > - A new deadline worker must preserve response ordering, monitor handoffs, and unfinished work. > - This pull request gives settlement one shared readiness predicate and activates its worker from committed changes. > - Existing rows provide recovery truth. No new table or per-feature timer is added. > - The benefit is a settlement worker that becomes quiet and resumes when relevant work changes. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description Refs #17758. This is slice 56. Slice 55 has merged. Related: #17606 (chat milestones), #17663 (bounded run reads), #17665 (monitor proof), and #13809 (answered Slack conversation lifecycle). The provider applicability remains Slack and Speko-owned conversations. This does not extend Telegram settlement from #16559. **What happened?** Conversation settlement depended on periodic native replay and generic task recovery. An exhausted monitor also cleared its schedule before recovery admission. During that gap, an answered conversation could look finished. Failed or deferred admission lost the monitor schedule. **Expected behavior** Relevant committed changes activate settlement. The worker uses the owning service's evidence and becomes quiet when no settlement is owed. Monitor recovery stays pending until admission, and restart does not admit an already accepted recovery twice. **Steps to reproduce** 1. Create an active external conversation with a successful run and an authorized published response. 2. Keep execution, approval, a goal, or a monitor pending. Let the settlement worker become quiet. 3. Resolve that prerequisite through its owning service. Verify that the conversation settles without another periodic sweep. 4. Delay or fail exhausted-monitor recovery admission. Verify that the monitor remains pending and the conversation cannot settle during the handoff. **Paperclip version or commit** Accepted production source: `50f4432ed88537b8d522cf1dce24c33588db0bac`. Parent #17758 merged as `8ac5a128e66fb672e88106412f76cf278599bfc4`. The publication adopts that actual squash through a normal merge with an unchanged complete child tree. ## What Changed - Preserve quiet after coarse company-only maintenance hints. The shared inbound-notice and response-availability helpers keep settlement enabled by default. Only the milestone dispatcher suppresses their duplicate settlement fanout. Its scoped issue-review signal and the explicit company-authority signal still wake real work. Four database cases prove both quiet and real company-wide producer delivery. - Preserve source-generation checks for chat handoff, task-before-comment locking, issue-scoped decision invalidation, and current conversation event columns from master. - Track initial external conversation settlement through shutdown without blocking HTTP readiness on endpoint or task locks. - Reuse the real queue's coalesced recovery receipt after restart, without admitting the same monitor recovery again. - Share the existing conversation readiness predicate between bounded discovery and locked settlement. Preserve current provider policy, run/publication proof, company boundaries, and endpoint-to-issue lock order. - Register a scoped deadline worker through the delivery coordinator. Preserve startup, restore/worktree suppression, drain/resume, failure recovery, and joined shutdown. - Extend existing review, milestone, wake-notice, and finalization signals. Add notifications at independent issue, comment, goal, session, and wake-receipt unblocks. - Keep monitor owner recovery pending until guarded admission. Reuse an accepted receipt for the same monitor schedule after restart, even when its limit reason changes; retain compatibility with legacy receipt keys. Commit board escalation and its monitor clear together. - Delegate periodic native settlement while preserving resource callbacks. Keep direct/manual defaults and preserve generic recovery ordering with a read-only readiness guard. - Add the producer and lifecycle audit in `doc/plans/2026-10-26-external-conversation-settlement-sleep.md` and update the stack ledger. ## Verification Accepted production source: `50f4432ed88537b8d522cf1dce24c33588db0bac`. Publication head: `b256bb52647affd9f5279ea8c40f48bbe40f031f`. The complete accepted child tree stays unchanged when adopting merged parent #17758. This publication adds only the audit document. - **3,129 distinct cases in 37 complete server files pass**, plus **18 selected chat-response cases** (3,147 selected cases). The other 1,796 chat cases were not run locally. Full settlement, queue, scheduling, run-state, goals, interactions, task Retry, decision targets, status reassessment, workspace, process recovery, and review consumers are covered. - **Preserved failure:** the first 35-file command passed 2,445 cases and timed out one restored-work handoff at its existing 15-second limit. That aggregate command failed. The unchanged full 89-case actions file then passed on a fresh fixture; the affected case took 22 ms. Root cause was not established. No timeout or assertion changed. The 34 other files passed originally. Distinct counts exclude duplicate actions passes. Fresh CI remains a separate gate. - **Indirect wake regression:** the original unconditional baseline failed two quiet checks. Guards alone left the chat case failing with three candidate queries. The final controlled indirect baseline fails one of four cases; the repair passes all four with the same test hash. Positive controls preserve real company-only producers. - **Source and fixture controls:** all 38 selected test files restore to their exact committed hashes after fixture imports. Fresh PostgreSQL 17 fixtures use 413 migrations. All five manual merge resolutions preserve current authority, locking, and event-column contracts. - **Static checks pass:** database build; server typecheck and build; module boundaries; migration order; Copilot profile identity. Runner packages equal the accepted parent byte for byte. No new Runner/package qualification is claimed. - [Current integration and wake audit](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/b256bb52647affd9f5279ea8c40f48bbe40f031f/doc/plans/2026-10-26-external-conversation-settlement-sleep.md#current-master-integration-and-indirect-wake-audit-2026-10-29). Latest-head CI and exact-head Greptile 5/5 must pass before merge. <details><summary>Earlier revision verification and preserved failure history</summary> Receiver failure fairness: a controlled 1,100 ms batch reproduced a 30-second delay for healthy due receivers. The worker now supplies its existing per-item deadline through `nextRunAtOnError`. All 20 receiver lifecycle tests pass on the owner and combined tip `31c12f1d68ff4a51e06fc2be2abf2c2aee9f9d3a`; server production typechecking passes on the owner. The failed receiver retains its own backoff, and settled receivers return to zero recurring SQL. The five-second assertion budget is unchanged. See [the owning audit](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/83204a67880d980cfbea3771cee19a3cda0022b7/doc/plans/2026-10-25-chat-receiver-discovery-sleep-audit.md#healthy-receiver-progress-after-a-slow-failed-batch). Current-head CI and review remain required. Approved delegated Test-tab calls now evaluate caller and target policies in the existing claim transaction. Real HTTP regressions first showed a missing caller charge and shared-limit self-rejection. All 78 connection-management cases and 92 gateway cases now pass on the owning branch, along with server production typechecking. All 78 connection-management cases also pass at combined tip `d25f830db89c1623bff3547bfc68015c1c66e0cf`. The three new cases cover shared charges, separate charges, rollback on denial, duplicate approval, and rejection of a later authorized call. Intermediate counter/identity fixture failures and a reused-database Slack collision are recorded in [the owning audit](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/ef9ae5767430d0093efc736ae0b303ba5afaae65/doc/idle-approved-tool-recovery.md#delegated-test-tab-admission-after-policy-changes). The earlier combined checks below remain evidence for their stated revisions. Current-head CI and review remain required. Inherited voice-cleanup verification: the controlled slow-provider regression and all 13 lifecycle tests passed on its owner and combined tip `ab22d8ed0c09028315607414b83b375e5cc0a60a`. That repair changed only the fixture clock advancement and its audit note. Current head: `83204a67880d980cfbea3771cee19a3cda0022b7`. This remains a single-duty PR stacked on #17758. - Integrated pinned master `8548173fc9efdc0fa07644fb92dcc0b6851a95e5` with normal merges. Every branch passed generated-schema checks and its target-branch migration-order gate. Existing SQL is unchanged; the 25 stack migrations follow master’s new migration. - Duty-specific producer coverage, lifecycle tests, and earlier failure records: [2026-10-24-recurring-server-sleep-stack.md](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/d6d8e4ffa6b330ebf4647aec997ee2dde6abc321/doc/plans/2026-10-24-recurring-server-sleep-stack.md), [2026-10-26-external-conversation-settlement-sleep.md](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/d6d8e4ffa6b330ebf4647aec997ee2dde6abc321/doc/plans/2026-10-26-external-conversation-settlement-sleep.md). - Combined tip `51e6cbe67979b55b340ea9f0f434c5b5c682ccd6`: **355 startup/cancellation/recovery/dispatch/preservation tests**, **75 connection-management tests**, and production server typechecking pass. These combined checks do not mean every intermediate PR independently ran the full repository suite. - Real master-to-stack database upgrade passes: **379 unchanged prior migration receipts plus 25 new migrations**, with the gateway responsibility fixture preserved. - Owning-branch checks: 84 runner installation/settlement cases plus runner typechecking and generated TypeScript/Rust profile agreement; 253 GitHub review workflow cases. Stop-attribution and held-worker readiness regressions failed before their fixes. - Failure accounting: the initial combined run passed 349 cases and failed six idle assertions in a reused preservation database containing old cancelled runs. Repeating the combined command with a fresh preservation database passed. Earlier invalid project selection, merge import/type errors, and the interrupted full local suite are not counted as passing checks. - **Latest-head CI and review remain required.** Prior CI findings include GitHub idle observation, route teardown, attention cleanup, touch-picker E2E, workspace health, and voice-cleanup timing; local passes do not erase those failures. No full local repository-suite, deployed sleep, fleet cost, or live Copilot qualification claim is made. </details> ## Risks - Signals cover supported in-process writers. They do not supply change capture for independent SQL or other replicas. - Real company-wide changes can inspect active candidates. Coarse maintenance hints do not activate settlement. Configured idle and retained history must remain quiet. - Monitor receipt binding and admission order must preserve company, agent, issue, and exact schedule identity. Current parent handoff locks and source-generation checks remain intact. - The local restored-work timeout is retained above. A fresh full-file pass does not establish its cause; latest-head CI must also pass. - Generic recovery and Muse/resource duties remain separate slices. This does not make the whole server idle. Existing Cloud sleep blockers remain. No deployed sleep, database suspension, external alarm coverage, fleet cost, or live provider qualification claim is made. ## Model Used OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, code execution, PostgreSQL tests, and GitHub tools.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip	2dd9811e8b	Own agent hiring and termination in a lifecycle module (#15631) ... ## Thinking Path > - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work. > - Agent creation, approval, pause, and termination change whether an agent can work. > - These changes currently use separate service and database paths. > - Some agents need setup after their record exists and before their harness can run. > - This PR adds one module that owns those state changes and their transactions. > - The module records progress and retries incomplete work after a server restart. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description **Problem or motivation** A hire can become active before its execution environment is ready. Direct agent state writes also bypass one common lifecycle boundary. Termination does not have a durable step for resource cleanup. **Proposed solution** Use agent lifecycle commands for hiring, approval, pause, resume, and termination. Keep proposed hires pending until approval. Prepare each approved hire, test its saved harness configuration, and then permit work. Wait for required plugin work before completing a step. **Alternatives considered** A general database commit hook would expose transaction details to callers. A timer alone would delay each new hire. This module owns each command transaction and starts its worker after commit. A periodic scan recovers work after a process stops. **Roadmap alignment** This change adds the lifecycle boundary for the existing agent and plugin systems. It does not add a user interface or a provider implementation. It replaces the lifecycle delivery approach in #15391. Related proposals include #11475 and #13099; this change does not add their external executor protocols. ## What Changed - Add durable approval, preparation, verification, pause, resume, stop, and cleanup states. - Keep agent creation, lifecycle state, configuration writes, and agent record deletion behind `modules/agent-lifecycle`. Keep validation, credential rules, reads, onboarding, invitations, general approvals, and company data deletion in their services. - Commit a hire before the remaining onboarding or invitation work. Serialize requests with the existing dedicated database connection helper. Reuse the hire after a failed attempt. - Keep accepted work in the run queue during setup. Require execution and cleanup evidence before completing pause or termination. - Retain the original credential owner when approving migrated hires. - Start lifecycle work after each command commits. Use database leases and revision checks for retries and late results. - Add a generic required plugin method and capability. Store the required plugin IDs for each agent. Track host and plugin completion separately. - Keep harness verification and credential rules in services. Supply their results to lifecycle through explicit ports. Reject failed logins and incomplete probes. - Remove reverse imports from lifecycle adapters into services. Share record queries and validation below both layers. - Use one hire decision path for agent IDs and approval IDs. Resolve the approval and agent change in one transaction. Expose policy reconciliation on the command object. - Save configuration and verification invalidation through one module operation. Ordinary commands own their transaction. Restrict the shared transaction integration to its listed callers. Reject identity, company, accounting, timestamp, and unknown fields. - Require completed termination before deleting agent records. The company deletion service calls the module through a separate deletion interface. - Save an approved secret before applying its agent binding. A failed binding leaves the secret approved. A retry reuses it. - Remove old permission and metadata export files. Move hire configuration rules out of lifecycle persistence. - Report failed worker steps and scans with operation context and known error codes. Omit provider messages, stacks, and configuration values. Document ordinary application use and extension rules. - Recover expired native owners only after execution stops. Retry cleanup of failed retained leases. Wait for setup in the live smoke script. - Keep manual, budget, and company pause reasons separate. Guard execution status writes with the ready state. - Add a migration, boundary checks, regression tests, and a lifecycle guide. Keep the current UI. - Limit periodic policy checks to 100 eligible agents per minute. Continue from the last agent ID. Exclude pending hires and agents in termination or a final state. Keep explicit company and budget updates immediate. ## Verification - Latest head `ccc3c86b0` aligns the shared status update schema with the PATCH route. All 15 shared tests, 104 server route/OpenAPI tests, 2 CLI tests, and shared/server/CLI TypeScript checks pass. The Greptile comment is fixed. CI is running; no new Apex review was requested for this small fix. - Rebase `75708ac94` rebases onto master at `2eb5187e4`. The backup test uses the shared 90-second timeout from master; the older timeout commit was removed. The affected backup test passes. - Agent budget edits now pass the target agent ID through enforcement. All 50 affected tests, server TypeScript, and 11 boundary tests pass. Both configuration update paths have regression coverage. CI is running on the latest head. No new Apex review was requested for these small fixes. - Rebase `9b568666a` preserves the run-control extraction and delivery-work startup changes from master. All 559 affected tests, server TypeScript, and 11 boundary tests pass. CI and Apex review are running on the final head. - The policy scan fix passes 56 lifecycle and diagnostic tests, 24 policy and caller tests, and 11 boundary tests. A regression test checks the page limit, interval, excluded states, and cursor wraparound. - Rebase `fd4698750` passes all 611 tests in eight affected lifecycle, route, and heartbeat suites. Server TypeScript and all 11 module boundary tests pass. The company deletion rollback and concurrent hire tests are included. - Follow-up `00aac7646` fixes the failed decision deletion test and the public update schema. All 126 affected server tests, 8 shared tests, 2 CLI tests, and 11 boundary tests pass. Shared, server, CLI, and UI TypeScript checks pass. - Server TypeScript passes: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsc --noEmit`. - All 11 boundary tests pass: `node --test scripts/check-module-boundaries.test.mjs`. The repository boundary scan also passes. - All 68 lifecycle, failure diagnostic, and harness verification tests pass. Tests reject forbidden fields through the root command, combined transition command, and restricted transaction integration. They also check invalid fields returned by configuration preparation. - Failure tests cover host work, plugin work, claims, renewals, deferrals, and scans. Log tests check known error codes and exclusion of private error contents. - All 355 tests in 10 existing caller suites pass. These tests cover secret approval, pairing, pending hires, credentials, company import, built-in agents, managed agents, instructions, and skills. - The branch is rebased onto `origin/master` at `2eb5187e4`. The queue guards and cancellation lock fix use the extracted heartbeat queue. Agent cancellation uses the extracted run-control file. The source diff scan found no secrets or private URLs. - Earlier checks cover approval retries, rollback, late verification results, policy holds, deletion rollback, concurrent company deletion, and queue admission during setup. - Before the rebase, CI passed on `00aac7646` and Greptile Apex rated it 5/5 with no open comments. CI and a new Apex review are pending for the rebased commit. The branch has no merge conflicts. - The full local build and native Dot suite were not run. The host has no Cargo. No live provider test was run. ## Risks - Background policy recovery takes more than one minute when more than 100 agents are eligible. Explicit company and budget updates still reconcile immediately. - The restricted configuration integration keeps an agent reference and its dependent records in one transaction. It cannot change a budget or invoke a lifecycle transition. A periodic scan starts pending setup after that transaction commits. - Secret approval and binding use separate transactions. A failed binding can leave an approved secret with no agent binding. - New approved hires remain unavailable until setup and verification complete. Existing clients see `paused` during these steps. This PR does not change the UI. - Migration `0320_daily_onslaught.sql` maps existing statuses and pause reasons. It does not create external resources or claim that an existing harness passed verification. - Use a coordinated server update for this migration. Older server versions can write legacy status without the new lifecycle checks. - A failed onboarding or invitation request can leave a committed hire. A retry reuses that hire and completes the remaining records. - Deletion requires completed termination. Company deletion can require another request while cleanup is pending. - Required plugins must make repeated calls safe and reject older revisions. A disabled or removed required plugin blocks completion until it is restored. - A new hire can run a second harness test after the existing UI test. Some adapters can charge for this test. - No live provider test was run. Provider implementation and resource backfill remain separate work. ## Model Used OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, code tools, and local test execution. ## Checklist - [x] I have included a thinking path that traces from project context to this change - [x] I have specified the model used (with version and capability details) - [x] I have checked ROADMAP.md and confirmed this PR does not duplicate planned core work - [x] I have searched GitHub for duplicate or related PRs and linked them above - [x] I have described the issue in this PR with the feature request field labels - [x] I have not referenced internal or instance-local issues or links - [x] My branch name describes the change - [x] I have added or updated tests where applicable - [x] I have updated relevant documentation - [x] I have considered and documented risks - [x] Targeted local tests pass - [x] All Paperclip CI gates are green on the new commit - [x] Greptile Apex is 5/5 with no open comments on the new commit - [x] I will address review comments before requesting merge --------- Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>	2026-10-09 09:05:12 -07:00
