## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work. > - Native runs must preserve files when Stop ends a turn before its result is saved. > - The cancellation path could skip file retention and leave a prepared remote workspace active. > - An older controller could also admit an extra run while an earlier lost-source hold was unresolved. > - Rejecting every later run then prevented recovery even after that extra run was stopped and its files were reconciled. > - This change retains cancelled workspaces and records the exact proof for a safely reconciled intervening cancellation. > - Recovery can proceed without changing cancelled history, replaying actions, or weakening execution gates. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description Refs: #16583, #16690, #16696. **What happened?** Stop could acknowledge a native turn without recording its unsaved file obligation. Reconstruction also rejected a later cancelled run after its exact environment and files had been reconciled. The task could remain inactive with an `in_progress` status, which the reconstruction endpoint rejected. **Expected behavior** Retain unsaved files after Stop. Permit a board operator to reconstruct from saved sources only after each intervening cancellation has a confirmed stop and a file-only repair record. Preserve the original failed export and the cancelled run. **Steps to reproduce** 1. Prepare a native workspace and cancel the turn before a structured result exists. 2. Inspect its file retention and remote lease state. 3. For a task with an older destroyed export, reconcile the later cancelled run's exact files and unperformed actions. 4. Request reconstruction from verified same-task attachments. ## What Changed - Pin prepared native files before cancellation settlement. Defer teardown if pinning fails. Use the existing stop-only cleanup worker. - Repair active warm and ephemeral sources, plus stopping and confirmed-stopped historical cancellations in bounded startup and periodic batches. Preserve the existing exact-source checks. Bound row-lock waits and advance past a busy source. - Accept only same-owner native run-only cancellations with no result or current coordinator, confirmed stopped leases, and board file-only repair with `not_performed` action outcomes. - Save hashes of each intervening repair and recheck them at queue claim and final dispatch. Reject changed evidence or another later run. - Expose saved-source reconstruction in the issue API for inactive `blocked` and `in_progress` tasks, and hide it when an execution or checkout owner exists. Permit the same inactive source at submission. Keep the source, owner, version, attachment, budget, pause and retry checks. - Update the shared evidence type, recovery runbook and capability maps. Add an optional cancelled-native no-action confirmation to file recovery, resetting evidence when its source changes. No migration, new endpoint, permission or dependency. ## Verification - The new fixture fails on the original validator with `workspace_reconstruction_stale` after valid cancelled-run file repair. - Focused source and Stop retention tests: 94 passed before the final contention case. The subsequent three-suite run passed 123 tests, including real PostgreSQL lock contention and public startup/API/final-dispatch paths. The final narrow-query rerun passed all 123 tests. Review correction: all 143 tests passed across four suites, including real lock contention through the teardown boundary and stopping/stopped allocations. - Six broader cancellation, executor, heartbeat and restart suites: 831 passed, 9 existing skips. - Final correction: all 145 backend tests and all 36 recovery UI tests passed. Real contention covers both warm reusable and ephemeral sources. Optional no-action confirmation defaults to uncertified, and changing source clears evidence. Workspace `pnpm -r typecheck` and token gates passed on these sources. - Maps, module boundaries and Git whitespace checks: passed. Full `pnpm build` passed on the final `4e8c0e73ac` revision as well as the prior reviewed heads. A full local run of the preceding fix completed with 21,724 passes, 109 skips and three failures in webhook body limits, a status-card timeout, and a port-allocation fixture. All three suites then passed unchanged in an isolated rerun (209 tests). The full local run remains recorded as failed; the final head's full CI passed (55 completed checks, no failures). A fresh full local run is also in progress on the frozen reviewed head. - Preserved failures: the first attempt lacked a built plugin SDK; after building prerequisites, the regression reached the expected validator rejection. Treatment tests caught the file-only action's deliberately null continuation owner. A real lock test then caught the database driver's wrapped timeout error. Both defects were corrected and retested. Independent review then found a teardown race after a failed retention write. A second review found active warm sources excluded by the historical policy filter; the regression reproduced both warm failures before correcting the query. Its real-row-lock fixture reproduced the failure; the fixed release guard and historical stopping/stopped cases pass. No checks were weakened. - A pre-deployment walkthrough caught the issue API still hiding reconstruction for an inactive `in_progress` task. The status/capability baseline reproduced three failures, including inappropriate capability flags for execution/checkout owners. The fix uses the same inactive-state requirements as submission; its positive fixture reads the assembled issue API before reconstructing. All 117 tests in those three recovery suites pass, and all 28 heartbeat-recovery tests pass separately. Full workspace typecheck passed again. Full build passed with the exact `4e8c0e73ac` stamp; latest-head independent review is 5/5 with no open findings. All 55 latest-head checks completed with no failures. - Live tenant acceptance remains pending. No successful reconstruction, export or warm-process proof is claimed by these local tests. ## Risks - Stop retains unfinished work, so storage remains until file recovery and explicit cleanup complete. - Reconstruction remains held for unknown or performed external actions, foreign owners, live or rebound environments, accepted results, changed evidence, and unrelated later runs. - The sweep examines at most five candidates per pass. It uses a fair cursor and bounded transaction waits. It performs no provider call and starts no new turn. - Intervening verification reads only the needed JSON fields. The source transaction still serializes recovery for the same task. ## Model Used OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, tool use and code execution. The session does not expose an exact backend model ID or context-window size. ## 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 - [x] All Paperclip CI gates are green - [x] 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>
Paperclip agent access map
This map accompanies the feature map. It records APIs, agent entry points, permission boundaries and verification for the same capability IDs. The shared contract defines the format and maintenance rules.
Browse access contracts
The same-named feature recipes define navigation and capability IDs. Run
node scripts/storybook-catalog.mjs for the generated
maps/generated/agent-access-map.md index, or browse the
published feature guide.
Add or update the affected companion; there is no central registration or count.
Existing baseline source references describe the original inspection, not current verification. Record new executed evidence in the PR, issue, or CI artifact with its revision and scope. Do not refresh unrelated headers as bookkeeping.
Using an entry
Read its Policy and Gaps before selecting an agent path. Native fallback, legacy
REST/CLI, stdio MCP and a personal assistant connection can have different
authority and availability. Use a real admitted production binding; a scenario
declaration is not an installed tool. A restricted entry records current
enforcement and leaves any unresolved delegation decision visible.
For API catalog disagreements, follow the route/service authorization and record
discovery drift. For not-applicable, retain the concrete exception and local
path. Split shared business operations from client-only presentation.
Use maintain-verification-skill to reconcile changed source and both maps.
Use verify-paperclip and existing API/runner/MCP fixtures to collect the
permitted-agent and denial evidence; report blocked/not-run coverage honestly.
Run node scripts/check-maps.mjs after editing. The structural check does not
certify permissions, API catalog coverage, tool admission or live behavior.
Native REST transport
The call_api parity change reconciles affected baselines against
58e16dbddfc9c8d0cf60867f9d9847f0feda055b and the changes in this PR. Ordinary
REST operations use the same route authorization as legacy agent REST. Dedicated
tools remain optional for those operations; protocol endpoints still need their
existing clients. Board-only routes remain restricted for agent identity.
Native search_api / call_api requires operator rollout admission, a running
authorized native run, current task assignment and execution-run binding, company
and budget authority, task privacy, and a permitted work mode. Ask and Plan retain
mutation restrictions, and runs retain their admitted JWT scope during restart
recovery even when task mode changes. A waiting
agent does not gain independent native control just because a REST route exists.
Credential-bearing replies, including company exports and their legacy alias, stay inline under a 10 MiB limit and use encrypted mutation receipts. Other saved API snapshots are limited to the issuing actor and responsible user, plus authorized administrators. Artifact uploads enforce the same access checks as downloads; private snapshots are excluded from company exports and public company logos. Explicit deliverables use the existing sharing path. Native event history, checkpoints and completion records omit API bodies while preserving receipt metadata and replay digests. Restored webhook secrets use the same encrypted receipt and inline response policy as newly created webhook secrets. Task image access requires the company boundary and the task permission; skill-test and low-trust agents do not need company-wide browsing authority. Completion replay applies the same idempotent projection to stored and expected payloads; the run-log guide describes its fields.
Sources: API client,
catalog,
native authority,
credential storage classification,
snapshot access,
and history redaction. The affected entries remain
baseline and source-only; this reconciliation does not certify every operation.
Targeted real-route proof lives in the
API integration suite,
including owned routines, skill tests, scoped secrets, proposals and private export replay.
