## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work > - After a restart, recovery releases an in-progress record only once its owner is proven gone, never by age > - A run lease saved before owners were stamped has no owner Paperclip can judge on an ephemeral (multi-host) server, so it stays stuck and holds its run's sandbox forever > - Only a person can tell that the previous server stopped (for example, its container was replaced) > - This pull request asks the board on the stuck task and lets an owner confirm the stop, with an activity-log entry; recovery then releases the record on its normal path > - The benefit is that legacy stuck records have a way out that never guesses ## Linked Issues or Issue Description Follow-up to the Phase 2 durable-ownership work: #20054 (controller instance lease) and #19883 (process-space recording). It generalizes the existing "confirm the previous server stopped" action for native controllers (`native_controller_host_unverified`). No duplicate PR was found. **What happened?** On an ephemeral server, an active run lease of a finished run that was saved before holders were stamped has no owner stamp. The ownership reconciler reports it `unprovable (no_owner_stamp)` and never settles it. No operator action exists, so the lease and its sandbox stay reserved. **Expected behavior** The task shows the stuck resource, and a board owner can confirm that the previous server stopped. Recovery then releases the lease. Agents and operators without the owner-stop permission cannot. **Steps to reproduce** 1. Run with `PAPERCLIP_EPHEMERAL_SERVER=true`. 2. Have an active environment lease with no `leaseController` stamp, whose run is terminal. 3. Run an ownership reconciliation pass. The lease stays `unprovable` with no action on the task. **Paperclip version or commit** `master` before this PR. ## What Changed - `packages/shared`: `confirmOwnerGoneSchema` (`actionId`, `recordId`, `stopEvidence` of 20 to 12000 characters). - `recovery/owner-gone-attestation.ts`: - `requestOwnerGoneConfirmation(kind)` is an `onUnprovable` hook. For a legacy unprovable owner (`no_owner_stamp`, `process_space_unrecorded`, `missing_identity`) on a record that has a task, it opens one idempotent board recovery action on that task (cause `ownership_owner_unprovable`). - `confirmOwnerGone(...)` verifies the exact action and record. It asks the kind to write the attestation (compare-and-swap), resolves the action, and writes an `issue.ownership_owner_gone_confirmed` activity-log entry with the actor and the stated evidence. - Ownership registry: - `OwnableKind.attestOwnerGone` is a new optional hook. - `environment_run_lease_active` implements it: only an unstamped active lease of a terminal run, with the notification for the cleanup path. - The lease's owner then reads `operator_attested`, which proves gone, so the existing settle releases it. A holder stamped since the board was asked owns the lease, and its stamp decides. - Route: `POST /api/issues/<built-in function id>/recovery-actions/confirm-owner-gone`. It uses `assertBoard` plus `runtime:confirm_owner_stop`, the same board-only permission as confirm-controller-stopped. It is registered in OpenAPI. - UI: `issuesApi.confirmOwnerGone`. The task's recovery card shows the existing `PreviousServerStopConfirmation` for this cause, with resource-specific wording; owners confirm and operators see the wait. `isPreviousServerStopCause` includes the cause, so the generic card does not offer other resolutions. ## Verification - `owner-gone-attestation.test.ts`: - the stuck lease opens one board action on the task; - confirmation resolves the action, writes the activity log, and the next pass settles the lease (`operator_attested`) exactly once; - a mismatched record is refused with 409; - a holder stamped after the ask is refused and the lease stays active; - no action for a judgeable owner or for a record with no task. - Red, with the `onUnprovable` hook removed: 2 of 3 fail. - UI: `WorkspaceExportRecovery.control.test.tsx` checks that the owner confirms with the right payload and that an operator sees the wait without the control (47/47). - Server suites: openapi-routes, ownership and recovery suites, plus the existing native-controller-host recovery. Low-memory server typecheck is clean; `check:token-gates` is clean. ## Risks - The board can attest a server stopped that is in fact running. The action and the UI copy ask for the evidence, and the activity log records who attested what. This is the same trust model as confirm-controller-stopped. - Only run leases opt in so far. Records without a task (login/probe leases) keep the legacy idle sweep. ## Model Used - Anthropic Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), via Claude Code with tool use. ## 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 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
