DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 0746d1203d feat(recovery): let the board confirm that an unrecorded owner stopped (#20067)
## 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.

@paperclipai/ui

Published static assets for the Paperclip board UI.

What gets published

The npm package contains the production build under dist/. It does not ship the UI source tree or workspace-only dependencies.

Storybook

Storybook config, stories, and fixtures live under ui/storybook/.

pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui storybook
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build-storybook

Typical use

Install the package, then serve or copy the built files from node_modules/@paperclipai/ui/dist.

Editor dependency identity

Keep the root and workspace overrides for @codemirror/state, @codemirror/view, and @lezer/common aligned. CodeMirror requires shared extension identity, while Lezer parsers and syntax highlighters require shared NodeProp IDs. Multiple Lezer copies can crash code-block highlighting with tags is not iterable. src/lib/codemirror-single-instance.test.ts checks the installed dependency graph and highlights sample code through the editor's real language dependencies. GitHub Actions owns regeneration of pnpm-lock.yaml.
