DottaandPaperclip 8373d78679 fix(recovery): register missing native preservation on Retry (#17800)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people manage agents and their saved work.
> - Native runs can leave a prepared remote workspace after a control
deadline.
> - The deadline repair in #17788 records preservation for future
failures.
> - Older failed runs can still have an active lease without a
preservation owner.
> - Retry correctly refuses another executor, but nothing can finish the
missing preservation.
> - This pull request registers the exact prepared source through the
existing recovery services when the user retries.
> - The bounded maintenance worker can then stop the provider and save
its files before normal admission continues.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A historical failed native run has a prepared workspace and an active
retained allocation. It has no workspace preservation record. Ordinary
Retry cannot prove that the old executor stopped and has no maintenance
owner to produce that proof.

**Expected behavior**

A deliberate Retry registers missing preservation for the exact unowned
source. Existing recovery proves termination and saves the files.
Existing admission then checks current user authority, effects, pause
and budget gates before one successor can enter the queue.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Persist a failed native run with a prepared workspace, an active
lease and a terminal, unowned finalization.
2. Omit the workspace preservation record, as an older deadline handler
did.
3. Call the normal task Retry route. Before this fix, preservation
remains absent and Retry cannot continue.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The regression fails on `46de15ff4b99bbee59c38f32f4f30b80ad5bbd24`,
which already includes #17788.

Related: Refs #17788 (future deadline failures), #17741 (committed
recovery wakes), #17733 (connected Retry authority). #17773 adds source
diagnostics and does not repair this missing registration.

## What Changed

- Use native workspace preservation inside the existing issue-locked
Retry transaction. A live finalization owner remains held.
- Adopt a valid unowned preservation obligation through the existing
bounded maintenance service. Bind it to the deliberate Retry intent
without resetting an active generation.
- Add real PostgreSQL regressions for exact, mismatched and owned
sources. Verify that registration cannot create a termination receipt or
a successor.
- Exercise the HTTP route, worker, real temporary file merge and queue
admission with the stop reply held. Duplicate requests admit one queued
turn after preservation.
- Extend connected GitHub and Telegram Retry coverage for missing
historical preservation. Document the contract and access boundaries.

## Verification

- Red: the new historical-state regression fails on the base commit
because `workspaceRestoreRecovery` remains absent. The mismatched and
owned negative controls pass.
- Green: the three focused historical-state cases pass with the fix
against isolated local PostgreSQL 17.
- The local HTTP journey restores saved files and retains newer host
edits. It admits no successor while the provider stop reply is held. It
admits one successor after verified preservation. The real GitHub and
Telegram admission paths wait behind that recovery.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, `node scripts/check-maps.mjs` and
`git diff --check` pass.
- Green: 152 tests across four relevant suites, including all connected
Retry safety cases. The six new cases pass again on final head
`b8900801a3181fa673ea45f1129f968bbb08d1fd`.
- Final-head GitHub checks: 55 successful, two intentionally skipped
Storybook checks, and one neutral Paperclip bot review. Greptile is 5/5
with no unresolved threads. The Paperclip bot stopped before finishing
and supplied no approval.
- The full local command imported an earlier fixture revision before its
assertions were corrected. It reported those two stale connected-fixture
assertions and later hit the host PostgreSQL semaphore limit again. It
was stopped after final-head CI completed. It is not counted as a full
local pass; the complete CI test lanes passed on the final head.
- The first local rerun hit the Mac PostgreSQL semaphore limit before
assertions. Verification moved to an isolated disposable PostgreSQL
container. Early assembled fixtures also exposed the existing
destruction-cleanup gate; the retained-workspace fixture now uses its
actual `keep_running` disposition. This fix does not weaken cleanup.

## Risks

- Retry now registers maintenance for historical native failures. Exact
descriptor, allocation and coordinator checks remain owned by the
existing preservation service. Physical recovery still requires its
existing exclusive owner and provider stop receipt. Registration alone
grants no execution authority.
- No database migration or provider protocol changes. No model, trust,
assignment, retry-budget or external identity changes.
- Local recovery uses real database, filesystem, HTTP, worker and
admission code. Only the provider lifecycle boundary is simulated. No
hosted allocation or live model turn has been verified for this new
change.
- The workspace recovery test file crosses 1,000 lines because this case
shares its real database, filesystem and assembled route fixture.
Keeping it there avoids duplicating that fixture or extracting unrelated
production behavior.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, repository tools and code
execution. The exact model identifier and context-window size are not

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.

The chat scenario catalog uses these same IDs for human requests and expected outcomes. Its scenarios retain the access boundaries here; neither a CEO role nor a planned scenario grants board authority or establishes a working production tool binding.

Use full capability IDs when referring to access contracts outside their file: onboarding/company means the company capability in onboarding.md in both maps. The feature index lists feature and capability IDs; IDs and references explains entry-point references and stable naming.

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.
