## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work > - In onboarding, the agent plans the user's first task, creates one child task for the work, and waits for it > - The `first-task` skill tells the agent to publish a requested file on the child task. When the parent wakes, the agent links the child's file and does not publish a copy > - Native `register_deliverable` is bound to its current task, so the parent cannot register the child's file again > - The native completion check required each cited attachment to be on the task being completed > - So when the parent cited the child's download link, `paperclip_finish` failed, and the agent reported the finished onboarding task as blocked > - This pull request lets a completion report cite an attachment on a direct child task that is done > - The benefit is that onboarding closes after its child task delivers a file, and the user does not see a false "blocked" status ## Linked Issues or Issue Description Related: #18258 (onboarding artifact completion instructions). **What happened?** An onboarding run created a child task to build and publish a project. The child task registered `project.zip` with `register_deliverable` and was marked done. The parent woke with reason `issue_children_completed`. The agent called `paperclip_finish` with `reportedWorkDisposition: "done"` and cited the child's `/api/attachments/<id>/content` link. The call failed two times with: ``` Completion cites no registered attachment on this task. Use register_deliverable for the requested file and cite deliverable:<attachmentId> from its receipt. ``` The skill does not let the agent register the file on the parent, so the agent called `paperclip_block` with "Paperclip completion validation" as the owner. The parent task stayed `blocked`. Nothing wakes it again. **Expected behavior** The parent completes and links the child's file. **Steps to reproduce** 1. Create a task with a child task. 2. In a native run on the child, register a file with `register_deliverable`, and mark the child done. 3. In a native run on the parent, call `paperclip_finish` with `reportedWorkDisposition: "done"` and the child's `deliverable:<attachmentId>` or `/api/attachments/<attachmentId>/content` as evidence. 4. The call fails with "Completion cites no registered attachment on this task". ## What Changed - `server/src/services/native-runtime/native-deliverable-feedback.ts`: when a cited attachment is not on the task, `validateNativeDeliverableEvidence` also looks for it on a direct child task with status `done`. If it is there, the citation is accepted. - The child's file is context, the same as an attachment from an earlier run on the same task. It does not count as this run's publication of a file that the parent's own request names. - With `lockSources`, the finalization path locks the attachment and child task rows with `FOR SHARE NOWAIT`, as it does for other sources. - The error text now says "on this task or its completed child tasks". - This applies to the `paperclip_finish` check and to the two finalization checks, because they use the same function. - `doc/AGENT-ARTIFACTS.md`: the native runner section states that a completion report can cite a file on a completed direct child task. ## Verification - Extended "prepares one verified same-run attachment and replays without duplicates" in `server/src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-file-handoff.test.ts`: - An attachment on an unrelated task is still rejected. - An attachment on a child task that is not done is still rejected. - An attachment on a done child task is accepted, through `paperclip_finish` and through the locked finalization path. - When the parent's own request names a file, the child's file alone does not satisfy it. - Without the source change, the test fails with the same error as the run above. - `npx vitest run` on `chat-attachment-reuse`, `native-completion-feedback`, `native-completion-format-feedback`, `native-deliverable-feedback`, and `native-runner-file-handoff` tests in `server/src/services/native-runtime`: 281 passed. - `npx vitest run src/__tests__/native-result-commit-work.test.ts src/__tests__/native-status-arbiter-corpus.test.ts` in `server`: 167 passed. - `npx tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json` passes. ## Risks - Only direct children with status `done` are accepted. A grandchild's file, or a file on a child that is not done, is still rejected. - A parent that names a requested file in its own request still needs its own delivery evidence. This keeps the current rule for earlier outputs. - A task that is already blocked by this error does not change. The user can mark it done, or comment so the agent runs again. ## Model Used - Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, used through Claude Code with tool use (code reading, database queries, shell commands, and test runs). ## 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 Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
