## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work > - Native runs read provider events from a shared session notification stream (Codex, OpenCode and ACPX drivers use it) > - When that stream closes, the driver fails the session with `notification_transport_failed` > - The run error was only "Provider notification transport failed closed." The real cause was only in a diagnostic event > - In a staging soak, many runs on OpenRouter and Grok agents showed this error. Operators read it as a provider fault. The diagnostic events showed a host-side cause: a stopped sandbox plugin worker ended remote runner supervision > - This pull request keeps the redacted, bounded cause on the terminal failure message, and does not name the provider > - The benefit is that a failed run shows why it failed, so operators do not chase the wrong provider ## Linked Issues or Issue Description **What happened?** Native runs failed with `native_provider_terminal_failed` and the error "Provider notification transport failed closed." The run did not show a cause. All failures in one cluster happened inside one minute, on several agents and models (OpenRouter DeepSeek, Grok). Each run's `harness.diagnostic` event had the real cause, for example `runner_process_termination_unconfirmed: runnerd process supervision failed: Cannot call "environmentExecute" — worker for "<plugin>" is stopped`, or `native_adopted_runner_identity_unverifiable: runner liveness could not be revalidated`. The sandbox duplex transport reported a `provider_exit` loss about 30 seconds before (the read-only process probe budget). **Expected behavior** The terminal run error keeps the redacted cause. It does not blame the model provider when the cause is host-side runner supervision. **Steps to reproduce** 1. Open a native Codex-protocol session and start a turn. 2. Make the notification stream throw (for example, a supervision error). 3. Read the `session.failed` and `turn.failed` messages. Before this change they are the bare generic text. ## What Changed - `codex-session-notifications.ts`: the `notification_transport_failed` terminal message is now `Notification transport failed closed: <cause>`. The cause is redacted first, then whitespace is collapsed and it is bounded to 1,000 characters. The `Error: ` prefix is removed. The code and `recoverable: false` do not change. - New regression in `codex-protocol-integrity.test.ts`: one `session.failed`, the cause and code are present, the secret is redacted, the length is bounded, and `turn.failed` has the same message. - `doc/execution-semantics.md`: an additive note that this failure can come from host-side runner supervision, and that the message keeps the redacted cause. ## Verification - Red: before the fix, the new test failed: `expected 'Provider notification transport faile…' to contain 'runner_process_termination_unconfirmed'`. - Green: `cd packages/paperclip-runner && npx vitest run src/drivers/codex/ src/conformance/local-provider-fault-matrix.test.ts src/native-session-runtime.test.ts` (565 passed). - `npx tsc --noEmit -p packages/paperclip-runner/tsconfig.json`: no new errors. The existing `src/eval/workflow-harness.ts` errors come from an unbuilt workspace package. - Staging evidence was read with read-only GETs only (run, events). ## Risks - Low risk. Only the message text changes. The failure code, `recoverable: false`, and the safe-replacement rules do not change. The server matches on the code, not on the message. - This PR does not add a retry in the same turn. Runner termination is unconfirmed when supervision is lost. A retry or replacement could start a second executor. The remote process probe already retries read-only checks inside a 30-second budget. Recovery stays with the existing ownership and recovery checks. - The cause text can include a plugin id. It goes through the existing provider-diagnostic redaction. > For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR.
