DottaandPaperclip f673bd3cb5 fix(native): verify legacy harness filesystem independence (#19748)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native sessions retain provider checkpoints and recovery state
across turns.
> - Server replacement must preserve every remaining local data
dependency.
> - A legacy backup stamp can outlive a destroyed provider and an absent
local backup.
> - Surviving skill files can already have exact immutable package
copies.
> - Raw controller files also contain stream events that database
checkpoints omit.
> - This pull request records verified filesystem independence under the
original-volume maintenance owner.
> - Replacement startup checks durable bindings while existing resume
failures and policies remain intact.

**What happened?**

Startup treats every retained legacy backup stamp without a current
backup row as a local filesystem dependency. This also blocks sessions
whose provider was already destroyed and whose remaining local skill
bytes have exact durable copies.

**Expected behavior**

An authorized maintenance owner can prove that an exact retained source
has no uncovered local harness payload. Startup can use that proof after
replacement. The proof must preserve failed recovery state and must not
invent a provider backup.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Retain a terminal native session, its checkpoint, and its legacy
backup stamp.
2. Record exact canonical destroyed-provider receipts. Keep only
admitted immutable skill files on the original host.
3. Publish the owner-verified independence receipt. The old startup
predicate still blocks; the updated predicate validates its durable
bindings.

## What Changed

- Add an internal original-volume capability. It requires a private
nonce anchor, independently reviewed attachment evidence, current
reserved runtime identity, and a witness that is at most 120 seconds
old.
- Verify retained and selected-source inputs, checkpoints, leases,
destroyed-provider receipts, released ownership, and exact immutable
skill references.
- Inspect canonical persistence roots and compare surviving skill bytes
and modes. Refuse any provider directory present outside the current
persistence profile, including an old Codex home after a
preconfigured-home switch. Unknown data, backups, history, owners, or
source changes still block publication.
- Preserve raw controller and supervisor bytes through the existing
encrypted evidence archive owner. Match recovery records to the database
checkpoint, authenticate the exact archive row, and compare the original
bytes again before publication. The archive grants no executable
authority.
- Publish one audited receipt with source locks and a final comparison.
Keep original files, stamps, warnings, statuses, and session pointers. A
late capture retains a valid published winner and refuses an invalid
receipt.
- Validate published receipts from current database bindings on
replacement hosts. Add no startup filesystem probe, object read,
provider call, or recurring worker.

## Verification

- Genuine baseline regression: restore the original startup predicate
while keeping the actual receipt owner. The positive
PostgreSQL/filesystem case fails with expected `false`, actual `true`
after valid publication. Restore the changed predicate; the case passes.
- Final rebased head `e78f4b4424`: 42 affected PostgreSQL/filesystem
cases pass. This includes 32 owner guards, three paired continuation
cases, six existing failed-source archive controls, and one existing
lease-verified backup migration control. The other 113 tests in the
selected existing files were explicitly unselected.
- Genuine controller baseline: the unchanged prior owner publishes no
raw archive and accepts missing checkpoint parts. Both new regressions
fail. The repair passes encrypted byte-for-byte controller/supervisor
restore, missing checkpoint, foreign source, active source, and
changed-after-upload controls.
- Genuine omitted-provider baseline: the unchanged owner accepts old
Codex, OpenCode, and ACPX history after a preconfigured-home switch. All
three refusal cases fail. The fix passes those cases and permits
preconfigured execution with no omitted directory.
- Genuine late-publication baseline: both concurrent winner tests fail
before the repair. The repair keeps the existing valid receipt, refuses
an invalid one, and keeps one audit event. A delayed raw upload also
retains the first authenticated archive and its receipt.
- Capability controls: 12 passed, including empty replacement refusal,
stale or future evidence, changed deployment, missing volume, path
aliases, changed anchor, and current remount identity.
- The actual server-to-Runner boundary preserves explicit recovery
policy on original and empty homes. The separate actual CREATED-sandbox
preparation callback preserves checkpoint identity and policy without a
backup. Provider I/O and final transport construction are controlled.
- Warm sessions retain the same canonical refusal on both homes, make no
backend/provider attempt, and retain the saved checkpoints.
- Server TypeScript, module boundary checks, diff checks, and a
private-data scan pass. The Runner TypeScript build was refreshed after
rebase to include two new upstream exports.
- Fresh Greptile review is 5/5 with no unresolved threads on
`e78f4b44240b0fc33c2fd7cae2d5b4a2578e3153`; check `128330103712`
completed successfully. Required CI remains pending. No live
preservation or enrollment action ran.

Focused command from `server/`:

```sh
node ../cli/node_modules/tsx/dist/cli.mjs ../packages/db/src/test-postgres-command.ts -- node ../node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run src/services/native-runtime/native-harness-filesystem-independence.integration.test.ts src/services/native-runtime/native-harness-filesystem-independence-continuation.integration.test.ts src/services/native-runtime/native-controller-migration.integration.test.ts src/services/native-runtime/native-harness-backup-storage.integration.test.ts --testNamePattern 'owner-verified|legacy harness continuation|preserves a failed source online|migrates a lease-verified' --hookTimeout 90000 --maxWorkers 1 --fsModuleCache
```

## Risks

- This proves that no uncovered harness payload remains local. It does
not recover provider history or certify that no other copy exists.
Existing governed-wait and warm-session failures remain.
- Unknown providers, retained owners, extra payloads, missing
references, or changed source bindings fail closed. Invalid receipts
require investigation; this change does not repair or replace them
automatically.
- The maintenance capability requires independently reviewed Railway
attachment evidence. The original anchor remains stable across normal
releases; each new staging invocation needs current deployment and mount
evidence.
- Startup validation adds bounded per-scope database reads. It pages
candidate scopes and caps each source history at 500 rows. Measure the
affected cohort's actual startup latency on the qualified serving build
before enrollment.
- Raw archives use the existing backup ledger, encryption, retention,
and restore machinery. They preserve evidence only. They do not repair
missing provider history or grant a new resume policy.
- Local tests control provider and transport boundaries. Live staging
remains a separate step after review, merge, normal delivery, and a
fresh original-volume capability.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository tools, and local
code/test execution. The exact runtime variant and context-window limit
are not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 72f7b42fe3 Preserve settled failed controller state during online migration (#19678)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip controls agent work across web-server releases.
> - Volume-free servers need retained controller state in shared
storage.
> - Successful settled sources already support online migration.
> - Some retained failed sources have no accepted result and must stay
available for recovery inspection.
> - This change copies those sources under task, coordinator and
publication fences while unrelated work continues.
> - The original files, failed status and recovery warnings remain
unchanged.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19038. Refs #19631.

**What are you trying to improve?**
Preserve retained failed controller files without waiting for global
idle.

**What problem does this solve?**
The online producer skips terminal failed controllers. Their files can
still be needed for recovery inspection even when no accepted provider
artifact proves executable continuation.

**What would the improvement look like?**
A settled exact source can enter the existing encrypted archive store.
An accepted committed failed source can use the existing checkpoint
import. Busy, changed, unowned or foreign sources remain blocked.

## What Changed

- Add a source owner bound to the selected task session, run,
coordinator generation, admitted input and file digests.
- Check the task, physical finalizer lock, released coordinator,
canonical resume source and active related turns before upload and
before publication.
- Preserve failed sources through the existing encrypted archive format.
Do not treat archived bytes as execution authority or old-writer stop
proof.
- Allow the existing accepted committed checkpoint import for a finished
failed run without changing its status.
- Validate admitted input bindings before looking up local controller
files.
- Document the online preservation path and the final static writer
fence.

## Verification

- Real PostgreSQL: 125 cases passed across migration, controller
recovery and durable backup storage. One added assertion inspected an
unadmitted queued fixture; it was corrected while retaining the
queued-turn preservation and stale-publication assertions. The final
migration rerun passes 51/51; the other three affected suites pass
75/75.
- Genuine prepatch RED: online failed-source preservation and accepted
committed failed-source import both fail on the previous producer and
recovery owners.
- New cases cover independent restore after deleting the original
source, an expired but non-null coordinator owner, source mutation after
upload, a new related queued turn during upload, foreign input binding
and an accepted committed failed result.
- The full rebased server source and test-tree typecheck passes after
restoring its missing ignored workspace SDK link and building that
existing dependency.
- Module boundaries and whitespace checks pass.
- Rebased onto current master; both provider-artifact imports and the
new archive owner are preserved. Rebased type and module-boundary checks
pass. All six archive cases pass on the exact rebased head (39.68
seconds). All CI gates pass on exact head
81fc974cd9. Fresh Greptile review is 5/5
with no unresolved comments. No serving migration, deletion or
deployment is performed by this PR.

- Review memory fix: 64 KiB streamed hashes avoid retaining another
controller string at each publication fence. A 256 MiB source is hashed
three times while the original string remains live under a 512 MiB heap.
The old full-string comparison reproduces an OOM; the fixed two-case
suite passes. Full source/test-tree typecheck and module boundaries pass
on the new code. All six real-PostgreSQL archive cases pass again with
streaming enabled (17.31 seconds); ownership, queued-turn and
post-upload mutation guards remain covered.

## Risks

- This is a copy-only preservation operation. It does not prove the
original process has stopped. Final enrollment must arm static ephemeral
mode on the original volume, observe the old deployment stopped and
repeat data eligibility.
- A source change during upload leaves an unpublished pending object.
The normal retention owner handles obsolete attempts; the source remains
required until a verified current archive exists.
- An archive is forensic evidence. It does not make an unaccepted failed
provider result resumable.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning and code execution. The host
does not expose the exact serving model ID or context-window size.
