## Thinking Path > - Paperclip lets people manage agents and inspect their work. > - Task monitors schedule checks of work that is still pending. > - A task can retain a monitor after it becomes blocked. > - The UI still offered Check now, but the server rejected the task status. > - The UI also claimed that an automatic check would run on the next tick. > - This change admits an explicit human check through the normal execution gates and shows that automatic checks are paused. > - People can request the check without changing task status, and skipped checks no longer report success. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description **What happened?** A blocked task with a retained monitor showed Check now and an overdue countdown. Clicking the button failed because manual checks required an in-progress or in-review task. The endpoint also returned success when admission skipped a check. **Expected behavior** A human can request one check through normal admission. Automatic checks stay paused while the task is blocked. A check that cannot start reports a conflict. **Steps to reproduce** 1. Schedule a monitor on an agent-owned task. 2. Let the task become blocked while it retains the schedule. 3. Open the task and click Check now. Related: #14909 addresses scheduled-retry promotion. This PR addresses retained task monitors. **Paperclip version or commit** Base:7f10cc0585. ## What Changed - Allow a human to check a retained monitor on a blocked task. Keep agent and automatic checks limited to active task statuses. - Keep the existing admission path and status guard. Do not change task status to start a check. - Return 409 when admission skips the check. Preserve the schedule when a dependency or recovery hold prevents dispatch. Keep a successful result when a new schedule replaces the consumed schedule after admission. - Show Automatic checks paused in the banner, composer strip and properties. Hide Check now on backlog and todo tasks. Provider-quota recovery stays paused on blocked tasks because it uses a direct retry path; its monitor is retained until the task resumes. - Add database, process, route and UI regression coverage, a Storybook state, API metadata, and behavior documentation. ## Verification - `pnpm -r typecheck` passed. - `pnpm build` passed. - Server scheduling, process admission and route suites: 94 tests passed. - UI monitor, properties and time-formatting suites: 142 tests passed. - Additional admission checks passed: an explicit check starts a process on a blocked task; an unresolved dependency prevents dispatch and preserves the monitor. - Token gates, map checks, Storybook catalog checks and 30 map/catalog tests passed. - The full local `pnpm test:run` attempt reported 1 timeout among 1,621 chat integration tests: “keeps an ambiguous github text part blocked across restart and retries only that part and its tail” exceeded 15 seconds. The exact case passed in isolation on the final head (1 passed, 1,620 skipped). The remaining full-run groups were stopped to isolate that failure. This does not establish a full local pass or explain the initial timeout. Final-head CI is green, including the full chat lanes and the successful single server-shard retry. - Browser inspection passed for the blocked-task banner, composer strip and properties row. Clicking Check now set both visible buttons to disabled Checking state. The preview uses isolated fixtures. - CI server shard 7/12 failed one decision-expiry deadline assertion. The entire unchanged decision-expiry suite passed locally on the final head (20/20). The single retry of that shard passed after the first workflow attempt completed. The initial failure remains recorded here. Neither that test nor its production path changed before retry; the cause is not established by a passing retry. - Greptile reviewed final headed936f7433at 5/5. Both prior review threads are resolved. - The first CI chat job stopped after its runner received a shutdown signal. The final head completed a fresh CI run. - The process fixture uses a local no-op adapter. It proves admission and execution, not a live provider's response. The Storybook state simulates dispatch. ## Risks - An explicit human check can start work on a blocked task with no unresolved execution gate. This is intentional. Dependencies, recovery, native finalization, ownership, pause and budgets retain their existing checks. - Skipped manual checks now return 409 instead of 200. The UI already displays API errors in context. - No schema change or migration. ## Model Used OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6. The session does not expose a more specific served model ID or context-window size. Used repository tools, code execution, and browser inspection. ## 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 - [x] All Paperclip CI gates are green - [x] Greptile is 5/5 with no open P2s, recommendations, or follow-ups - [x] I will address all Greptile and reviewer comments before requesting merge --------- Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
