## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work > - Native runs on a remote sandbox start `runnerd` in the sandbox, and Paperclip connects to it through provider ingress and authenticates it with a one-use bootstrap ticket > - The ticket lives for 60 seconds, but Paperclip issued it before the remote launcher staged its files in the sandbox > - Under load, staging took 60 to 81 seconds, so `runnerd` presented an expired ticket and every connection was closed. The run failed with `runner_ingress_auth_failed`, and the task stopped behind a manual Retry > - This pull request issues a fresh ticket right before dispatch, retries these failures automatically when the controller checkpoint proves no runner ever authenticated, and adds spans that attribute the slow startup window > - The benefit is that a slow but healthy start authenticates, a failed start recovers on its own, and the remaining startup delay becomes measurable ## Linked Issues or Issue Description **What happened?** On a hosted instance, 9 runs of one Codex agent on Daytona failed in about 70 minutes with `native_session_interrupted` and the message `runner_ingress_auth_failed: Runner ingress did not complete PRP authentication before the deadline.` In the same window only 6 runs succeeded company-wide. The run log showed Paperclip reconnecting for 60 seconds while `runnerd` reported that its peer closed each WebSocket. In 294 remote runs with timing spans, the time between the bootstrap ticket issue (end of `runner.transport.connect`) and the process dispatch (start of `runner.process.launch`) decides the outcome without exception: - 60 s or more: 23 of 23 runs failed authentication. - Under 60 s: 271 of 271 runs authenticated, in 0 to 1 s. The tasks did not recover by themselves, because the failure was classified as ambiguous state. **Expected behavior** A runner that starts slowly but correctly authenticates. If ingress authentication still fails before any runner authenticated, Paperclip retries the start automatically. The time between the start request and the runner connection is visible in run spans. **Steps to reproduce** 1. Run a Codex agent on a Daytona sandbox environment that uses provider ingress. 2. Make remote staging (`runner.runtime.stage`, inside the remote launcher) take 60 seconds or more. Many concurrent runs of the same agent do this on staging. 3. See that `runner.prp.authenticate` fails after 60 seconds and the run ends with `runner_ingress_auth_failed`. 4. The regression test `runnerd-bootstrap-ticket-refresh.test.ts` reproduces this locally with a 75-second staging delay. **Paperclip version or commit** `4e519bd4` (deployed), reproduced on `origin/master` at `4228bcf89c`. **Deployment mode** Hosted (cloud), controller on Railway, sandboxes on Daytona. **Agent adapter(s) involved** `paperclip_runner` with the Codex app-server provider (`gpt-6.1-sol`), remote sandbox target, provider-ingress transport. ## What Changed - `RunnerProcessLaunchSpec` and `spawnRunner` accept `refreshBootstrapTicket`. A restart does not inherit it. - The runnerd Codex transport passes a refresh that issues a new bootstrap ticket and flushes the controller checkpoint. It does not do this for a warm-transition launch. - The remote sandbox launcher calls the refresh after `ensureArtifact` and immediately before the launch RPC, and puts the new ticket in the launch environment. - `inspectUnauthenticatedBootstrapCheckpoint` proves from a controller checkpoint that no runner authenticated: no connections, no leases, no used tickets, no events, and only pending commands. - `nativeSessionFailureSourceCode` classifies the outbound ingress startup failures as `runner_ingress_startup_failed`. `nativeProviderRecoveryEvidence` treats it as pre-session (`bootstrap_retry`) only when that proof holds for the exact run identity and there is no provider session or provider event. Restart recovery and failed-run retry accept the new code with the same rules as similar startup codes. - Remote startup now records `runner.control_plane.open`, `runner.launch.prepare`, `runner.checkpoint.register` and `stage.asset.codex_skills.verify`. The 6 to 11 minute gap between `native.process_start_requested` and `runner.transport.connect` had no spans before. ## Verification - Red/green: `packages/paperclip-runner/src/live/runnerd-bootstrap-ticket-refresh.test.ts` starts a real `runnerd` with a 75-second staging delay. Without the fix it fails with `runner never connected`. With the fix it opens the session. - Red/green: `native-session-executor.test.ts` "launches runnerd with a bootstrap ticket issued after remote staging". Without the fix the launch RPC gets the stale ticket. - Red/green: `native-controller-recovery.integration.test.ts` "retries a fresh remote start whose launched runner never authenticated through provider ingress" (embedded Postgres). Without the fix the failure is `native_session_interrupted` and `ambiguous_state`. - `durable-prp-control-plane.test.ts`: the new checkpoint proof, its negative cases, and the restart rule for the refresh. - `native-run-trace.test.ts`: remote startup spans are recorded without duplicate launcher spans. - Focused suites pass: runner package 5 files and 235 tests; server 9 files and 1,607 tests, including `native-session-executor`, `native-runner-execution-driver`, `remote-launch-assets`, `native-restart-recovery`, `runner-prp-outbound` and the recovery integration tests. - `tsc --noEmit` passes for `packages/paperclip-runner` and `server`. ## Risks - A launch now issues two bootstrap tickets. The first one is never sent to `runnerd` and expires in 60 seconds. Bootstrap counters already allow more than one issued credential. - The new retry path needs a checkpoint proof that no runner authenticated, so a run that did provider work cannot be retried this way. The existing attempt budget still bounds the retries. - This change does not remove the 6 to 11 minute controller-side delay before `runner.transport.connect`. The new spans make it attributable for a follow-up change. ## Model Used - Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) in Claude Code, with tool use (shell, browser, code search) and extended reasoning. ## 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>
