## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work > - The restart chaos harness (`tests/restart-chaos/`) proves that agent work survives control-plane restarts and provider faults > - PR #20432 added provider message faults (PV1 delay, PV2 drop, PV3 duplicate), but only for Codex, and only in waves without restarts > - Claude runs through the ACPX sidecar, whose provider pack and sidecar are digest-verified, so the Codex executable shim cannot reach it > - A late or missing terminal can also arrive across a control-plane restart, which no wave could exercise > - This pull request adds a Claude (ACPX) seam with no product change, and a K1 restart that fires after a provider fault applies > - The benefit is that governed waits, Stop and approvals are now tested under provider message faults for both main adapters, also across a kill -9 ## Linked Issues or Issue Description Refs #20432, #20330, #20336 **What is the problem?** Provider message faults covered only Codex. They could not run with restart faults. PV3, the `interrupt_ack` target, and the S1 and G1 workloads under PV1/PV2 never ran live. **What is the expected outcome?** The harness can delay, drop or duplicate one targeted provider message for Claude and Codex. A PV1/PV2 fault can straddle a K1 restart, and the grade states what a pass means. **Why is this the right layer?** This is test-harness work. The product is not changed. The seam replaces only a file the runner already hashes and verifies at launch, inside a per-wave stand-in package. ## What Changed - `acpx-provider-faults.ts`: builds a per-wave stand-in runner package under `<repo>/node_modules/.restart-chaos-<wave>/` (symlinks to the real package, except a generated `dist/cli/acpx-runtime-sidecar.cjs`). It also parses `--provider-fault-restart`. - `provider-shim/acpx-sidecar-hook.mjs`: a server-only resolve hook that loads `runnerd-codex-transport` (source `src/live/*.ts` or built `dist/live/*.js`) from the stand-in package. Product code then hashes the stand-in sidecar, and the runner verifies and launches it. The module's own imports resolve to the real package. - `provider-shim/acpx-fault-tap.cjs`: the stand-in installs this tap and then runs the real sidecar bundle in the same process, as the runner's verified CommonJS loader does. For Claude, `terminal` is the provider's ACP `session/prompt` response after a `session/cancel`. `interrupt_ack` is the sidecar's `turn.cancel` response, because ACP's cancel has no acknowledgement. The provider process is still spawned and admitted by product code. - `--provider-fault-restart K1 [--provider-fault-restart-after-seconds n]`: each PV1/PV2 task also kills -9 the control plane n seconds (default 3) after its fault applied, through a new internal `provider` trigger. PV3 and planned K cells stay rejected. - `withProviderFaultCheck`: with a restart, the check passes only if the fault applied once, the K1 started after it, and for PV1 no release came first. The ordinary R1–R6 grade and the workload T-oracle still decide whether the task recovered. - `config.ts`: provider faults accept `--adapters codex,claude`. G1 with a provider fault needs `--provider-fault-restart K1`, because its oracle grades the board decision after a restart. - README: the Claude seam, the target table per adapter, what a pass means across a restart, and the Claude PV1 delay window. - Unit tests: the ACP and runner-pipe taps, the generated stand-in with a fixture sidecar, the hook against a fake runner package, planning, config validation, and the restart check. ## Verification - `pnpm exec vitest run --config tests/restart-chaos/vitest.config.ts` (all pass after rebase on master) - `node scripts/typecheck-test-projects.mjs tests/restart-chaos` - Live waves (local, one at a time through the wave-slot protocol): | Wave | Scenario | Result | | --- | --- | --- | | w-20261110T040202-s202 | Claude Q1, PV1 terminal 18 s | Task passed its Q1 oracle; `provider_fault_applied` failed: the runner settled the cancelled turn ~3.6 s after the cancel and closed the sidecar before the release, so 18 s is a drop for Claude (documented) | | w-20261110T041224-s203 | Claude Q1, PV1 terminal 1 s and 3 s | 2/2 pass (held and released) | | w-20261110T041355-s204 | Claude Q1 and S1, PV2 terminal | 2/2 pass | | w-20261110T043354-s205 | Codex Q1, PV3 terminal (duplicate) | 1/1 pass | | w-20261110T050407-s206 | Codex S1 and G1, PV1/PV2 terminal | 0/4: S1 terminal never sent (Codex exits after Stop, so `terminal` cannot apply; documented, use `interrupt_ack`); G1 needs a restart by design (now rejected without `--provider-fault-restart K1`). No product failure. | | queued | Codex+Claude Q1/S1 PV1/PV2 `interrupt_ack`; Codex+Claude Q1/G1 PV1/PV2 + K1 | Runs from master after merge (queue is ~90 min deep) | ## Risks - Low product risk: no product code changes. - The seam depends on the runner computing the local sidecar path from the transport module URL and on the ACPX provider bootstrap marker string. If either changes, the tap logs nothing and every Claude PV task fails `provider_fault_applied`. It does not pass silently. - The stand-in package is written under the workspace `node_modules` (gitignored) and removed at wave end. > For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR.
