DottaandPaperclip 208a093d19 fix(chat): preserve resumed review waits and retry newer saved input (#17725)
<!-- entire-trail-link-start -->
https://entire.com/gh/paperclipai/-/trails/36/changes/paperclip/36
<!-- entire-trail-link-end -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - GitHub review agents publish findings and wait for an authorized
reply or head change.
> - Review tools could retain the requester after resume while
completion lost that same wait proof.
> - A yielded report could then queue its own continuation or repeat a
missing-wait error.
> - Ordinary Retry could also select an older failed turn while a newer
saved request had no admission.
> - This change shares the existing authority proofs and canonical
admission owners.
> - Current access, publication, execution and budget gates remain
required.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17318. Builds on the canonical saved-input retry owner in #17733.
Related #16550 covers deferred legacy comments after ownership waits.
The separate recovery repair in #17724 owns the cleanup-to-saved-input
handoff; this PR does not add a second admission owner.

A resumed review could publish an assessment, then turn its
`response_wake` into an immediate `issue_status_changed` wake. A
provider that omitted its continuation could instead repeat a completion
error. A newer linked-human message saved during a budget hold could
also remain unstarted because Retry selected the older failed source.

## What Changed

- Resolve passive review waits through the accepted requester ledger
used by GitHub tools. Require the latest reviewed head, exact company,
task, agent, repository and processed publication under current access.
- Fill omitted/null yielded continuation from that server proof. Permit
an inherited normal tree resume only through its accepted parent
identity. Permit an ordinary follow-up only after this run has a
processed useful reply linked to its exact inbound message. Reject
acknowledgements, partial assessments, pending or uncertain writes as
that reply proof.
- Recheck the same run/review/head/source proof during feedback,
finalization and final status commit. Preserve explicit malformed-input
rejection and Done policy. Add no monitor permission or publication
grant.
- Keep heartbeat and publication projections narrow. Preserve both
published Copilot v62 identities and generate source-bound v63 from the
pinned merged base. No v63 live qualification is claimed.
- Certify the structured isolated-directory binding failure only at its
pre-allocation boundary and only through canonical task Retry. Other
workspace validation reasons and unknown effects remain denied.
- Route Retry to eligible newer saved input through the existing
canonical owner. Preserve the old result and skipped receipt. Require
current principal, source, App, runtime fence, budget, native ownership
and exact cleanup proof.
- Recover absent historical App metadata only through an earlier trusted
processed response receipt and an immutable non-null endpoint claim.
Explicit malformed or conflicting metadata stays denied.
- Revalidate execution through the exact claimed wake, coalesced task
Retry and resolved user-continuation receipt after admission. A second
normal Retry can recover the exact never-started authorization failure
with unchanged saved input. Require empty execution evidence, exact
diagnostics and no allocated or active executor.
- Explain when a recorded result prevents exact replay. Ordinary board
Retry directs a new task message to continue from saved work. Inherited
requester identity alone never grants replay.
- Keep accepted board-message preparation failures with the canonical
task Retry owner. Certify the exact unchanged comment, original user
wake, accepted same-user identity and absence of provider execution. Pin
that source, recheck it at admission, and bind identity initialization
to the coalesced intent and exact claimed successor receipt.
Uncertifiable sources retain an actionable fresh-message refusal.
- Return safe named authority categories for board Retry refusals.
Update execution documentation and capability maps. Add no schema or
polling loop.

## Verification

- A fresh external review request exposed a separate isolated-directory
preparation failure before allocation. Its first normal Retry saved an
intent but admitted no successor. This follow-up certifies only that
exact structured preparation boundary through the existing canonical
Retry owner, with trusted failed settlement and no executor, lease,
result or output. A real HTTP/queue regression reproduces the missing
successor before the repair. Twenty-three current-source safety cases
and the final 98-case Retry/HTTP group pass, including a fresh click
after a denied intent, source revocation, accepted results and the older
direct API remaining denied. The warning case uses actual configuration
preparation and production event append; unknown warning shape or
provider provenance stays denied. Full workspace typecheck, build, maps
and diff checks pass. Renewed hosted normal Retry now succeeds on the
final combined source: it preserves the exact saved request and linked
requester, starts one native successor in a fresh attempt workspace,
publishes the current-head 2/5 assessment and commits In review with
passive response wake.

- A later hosted normal Retry published a low-score assessment but lost
its accepted source identity because the previous attempt failed before
identity initialization. It repeated continuation errors, then submitted
Done. This is failed acceptance, not a successful qualification. The
initializer now retains the exact source only after execution-time
failed-chat Retry authorization; generic Retry and Done policy are
unchanged. A real queue/initializer regression fails with a null source
on the previous code and passes with the newer saved source. Two real
database completion cases verify that source yields the authoritative
wait and commits In review. Renewed hosted normal Retry now retains the
accepted source and exposes the authoritative current-review wait. It
completed after two semantic feedback corrections (wrong contract
revision, then wrong criterion IDs); the correct contract was present in
emitted input. The third finish was accepted and committed In review,
with no missing-wait loop or Done escalation.
- Repeated board-message preparation failures now walk their canonical
intent, failed dispatch and accepted parent identity, rechecking each
contained predecessor. A production queue regression fails the second
ordinary HTTP Retry before the repair and passes afterward. Changed
source, contradictory execution evidence and cyclic receipts remain
denied; traversal stops after twenty links.

- New inherited omission cases failed before the repair. The final full
PostgreSQL 18 wait/status suite passes **252 tests** under Node 24.22.
It covers omitted/null input, malformed-first recovery, same-head
resume, exact-source replies, changed heads, revoked access,
pending/uncertain/mixed publications, final commit revalidation, no
duplicate review and no self-wake.
- **15 existing publication tests passed before the pinned merge** on a
separate fresh database. They retain default partial-delivery and
failure-fallback behavior. Context reads remain below the unchanged 16
KiB heartbeat and publication response limits with large saved output
present.
- Saved-input tests cover a real signed PR webhook, production
accounting-budget refusal, normal policy recovery and canonical Retry.
Historical producer-shaped tests prove the missing-App case red, then
check trusted prior receipts and malformed, late, revoked or mismatched
proof. A broader order-coupled test was reproduced on the prior source;
its global fault injector now targets its own authorization query. The
43-case sequence passes without changing production behavior or its
safety assertions.
- New signed-ingress and real heartbeat execution tests reproduced the
admitted-successor failure, then the next normal Retry failure. The
final pinned merged source passes 249 full GitHub review/publication and
Retry cases on a fresh database, including all 49 saved-input cases. A
separate 74-case Retry/HTTP run also passes. Exact dispatch negatives
cover source, company, agent, task, successor, receipt, pause,
assignment, accepted success, controller and cleanup proof. Bootstrap
contradictions remain denied. The canonical Retry suite passes 16 cases
through its supported external PostgreSQL test connection.
- The normal board HTTP route reproduced the unusable inherited-result
refusal. It now returns actionable guidance without starting a
successor. The actual UI Retry hook and banner tests pass 12 cases.
- A production-shaped accepted board comment followed by a pre-provider
qualification failure reproduced HTTP 409 before the repair. The final
real HTTP/queue test certifies one canonical successor and preserves the
accepted identity. It rejects changed source, actor, task, agent,
result, controller, process, profile, allocation and receipt evidence. A
post-acceptance source change keeps the same intent pending. Execution
revalidation rejects removed or mismatched proof. The probe stops
deliberately after production identity initialization; it does not claim
provider execution. The final source passes the 75-case Retry group, the
focused two-case board/inherited-policy group and 19 canonical Retry
cases. Full workspace typecheck, build and map checks pass.
- Full workspace `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass. Map,
module-boundary and diff checks pass. Full local `pnpm test:run` remains
unverified. The 256-case explicit-native suite cannot initialize its
packaged PostgreSQL because libzstd is absent; an existing
command-scoped fallback did not resolve it. Current-head remote
full-suite checks are required. Merged-source full GitHub+Retry (249),
separate Retry/HTTP (74), full wait/status (252), profile/history and
completion (75), and visible Retry hook/banner (12) checks pass. The
fresh owned PostgreSQL 18 databases applied all 377 migrations.
- Actual Rust Runner, OpenCode 1.18.34 and exact DeepSeek used unchanged
production-generated synthetic contexts. Resume finished with an
explicit server wait. The author-reply trial omitted continuation twice:
its first report failed the existing empty-criteria check; the corrected
second report still omitted continuation and received the exact server
wait. It completed once with no missing-wait loop or Done escalation.
Controller acknowledgments were synthetic; these probes do not establish
hosted publication or board state.
- Hosted combined testing proved automatic admission of the exact saved
author reply, a useful GitHub answer and committed passive wait. It
required two malformed-continuation rejections before a nullish fallback
succeeded. A later normal Pause/Resume completed in one finish with
explicit response_wake and no new review/comment. The admitted normal
Retry then exposed the execution guard gap repaired here. Those remain
checkpoint results. On the final combined source, renewed normal Retry
completed actual native provider work and GitHub publication, committed
the passive wait, released ownership and cleaned up its environment. A
subsequent ordinary unmentioned author reply woke once, made no GitHub
tool calls or new assessment, and completed its first finish with an
explicit response wake. Both exact leases expired with successful
cleanup and the queue was empty. However, final destination inspection
found a separate automatic fallback overwrote the existing summary with
a generic no-final-response message. External summary preservation
therefore remains failed acceptance; the separate publication repair in
#17726 owns that producer. Full combined publication preservation has
not passed. These hosted runs include the pinned-base native additions;
they do not qualify Copilot v63.
- Current-head automated review is 5/5 with zero unresolved threads. All
current-head CI gates passed (54 successful checks/contexts, four
skipped, none pending). The earlier login-cleanup idle-work assertion
also reproduced locally while its controlled baseline passed; its cause
remains unknown, but the exact assertion passed in the fresh
current-head CI shard. No timeout, assertion or production workaround
was added. This PR is ready for review within its source, authority,
native finalization, state, wake and cleanup scope. The independent
automatic fallback publication regression is tracked by #17726; no
complete combined workflow pass is claimed.

## Risks

- The latest saved review defines the durable head boundary. Ingress
must record a new head before admission. A reply receipt proves delivery
only for its exact saved source; a shared GitHub comment ID alone cannot
authorize this wait.
- Historical App recovery cannot infer identity without direct proof or
an earlier valid server response receipt. It never replays that
response.
- This does not infer review-score policy from instructions or override
Done. No deployment, merge or repair of historical tasks is claimed by
the PR.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol`, with reasoning, repository inspection, code
editing and test execution. The context-window size is not exposed in
this session.

Paperclip feature map

Start here when reproducing a user-facing bug, verifying a change, or deciding which surfaces a fix must cover. Each recipe describes what a person can do, where they can do it, the expected result, and the evidence needed to verify it. Product behavior is still governed by the implementation spec.

The sibling agent access map records APIs, agent entry points and permission boundaries for the same capability IDs. Follow the shared map contract when maintaining either map.

The chat scenario catalog describes how people might request these capabilities in conversation, including setup and permission branches. These are planned Product E2E journeys, not live coverage results.

IDs and references

Use the existing IDs in issues, PRs, Storybook annotations, tests, and verification evidence:

Reference Example Defined by
Feature ID onboarding The recipe filename without .md.
Capability ID onboarding/company The feature ID plus a key from its Sub-features list, separated by /.
Entry-point reference onboarding.md#web-wizard The recipe filename plus its entry-point heading. The local entry-point ID is web-wizard.

For example, report verifying onboarding/company through web-wizard. Capabilities describe behavior; entry points identify the surface used to exercise it. Entry-point IDs are separate from generated capability IDs. Both maps and Storybook use the same full capability IDs. Each child page states its feature ID; recipe bullets show the full capability ID beside the local key, and access companions show it beneath the local heading. Local keys remain unchanged for parsing and existing anchors.

Keep recipe filenames, sub-feature keys, and entry-point keys stable when changing display titles or navigation. Renaming a filename or key changes its references. The section headings below are navigation labels, not additional IDs.

Open the published Storybook guide for the assembled feature and capability index. The Markdown recipes in this directory are the authored source. Each has a same-named agent-access companion.

Run node scripts/storybook-catalog.mjs to generate local navigation in maps/generated/feature-map.md, maps/generated/agent-access-map.md, and the Storybook guide. Recipes are discovered automatically from their navigation metadata; generation does not depend on this high-level index.

Before driving a journey

  1. Use this checkout's isolated test drive for manual product checks. It creates a temporary instance and prints its URL and data directory. Do not guess that a server on port 3100 belongs to you.
  2. Record the commit, URL, company, login role, relevant experimental settings, adapter, runtime mode, and live versus simulated dependencies. Use disposable tasks and provider resources. A fresh test drive creates a company and CEO, but no task or first run.
  3. Use the current navigation and company prefix. Paths in recipes omit that prefix. Record whether the streamlined or production shell is selected; Agent Chat, chat connectors, and the combined Inbox/Tasks view have separate gates. A hidden surface is an unmet prerequisite, not a successful test.
  4. Run the smallest relevant test first. Vitest commands below run from the repository root after installing dependencies. Playwright recipes use their named configuration and its isolated environment, not an unrelated running instance. Reserve expensive runner/provider tests for the behavior at issue.
  5. Exercise the actual user action, inspect its result, reload, and verify the persisted state or continuation. Use read-only API checks to corroborate UI evidence; creating state through the API does not prove the creation UI.

For agent-driven acceptance work, start with the Paperclip verification skill for an isolated launch, ownership/readiness checks, browser driving, evidence, and cleanup. It uses this directory as its feature map. The existing dev-workspace run/verify skill and evaluation skill describe runtime ownership and evidence handling. Reuse them; this map introduces no environment launcher, credentials, scheduled job, or second test framework.

Evidence contract

Report each entry point as passed, failed, blocked (with its missing prerequisite), or not run. Include the feature ID, full capability IDs and entry-point ID (for example, onboarding/company through web-wizard), plus the recipe link, commit/environment, user action, expected and observed result, command/exit code, and evidence links. Screenshots or traces should show both the action and the discriminating result. Include task/run/request IDs when relevant, without secrets.

A fix is verified across its affected surfaces only when each has evidence or an explicit reason it does not apply. Shared code alone does not prove parity. Keep product regressions visible; do not change the recipe to bless a failure. For Paperclip-assigned work, attach evidence through the artifact workflow.

Inventory and remaining depth

The generated maps/generated/coverage.json lists the current non-test TSX page modules and the recipes that directly reference each one. An unreferenced module is a documentation candidate, not proof that its feature is absent or untested. Remaining workflow limits live in each recipe. Inventory and example associations describe documentation scope, not runtime health.

Maintaining the reference

The map documents user journeys. It does not execute them automatically; generated inventories record documentation scope rather than live test health. Product E2E reports reuse these capability IDs through the journey associations. Their coverage view shows which scenarios in a campaign are linked to each capability and the associated test results. An association or passing scenario does not certify the whole capability; unselected and unmapped journeys remain distinct.

When maintaining a recipe, compare its entry points and expected results with the current source. Check that linked tests still exercise the stated behavior and that local references still exist. Keep the same-named agent access companion and stable sub-feature IDs aligned when behavior or access changes. Source-only access inventory remains distinct from live verification. Run node scripts/check-maps.mjs after map edits for structural/reference checks; follow the shared contract for the source and behavioral checks it cannot perform.

Each recipe starts with a small frontmatter navigation record, then an H1:

---
navigation: {"section":"Tasks and conversations","sectionOrder":20,"order":10}
---

The H1 supplies the feature title, and the first paragraph supplies its summary. Orders are local to the section; leave gaps for additions. Equal orders use the stable filename as a tie-breaker. Keep a section's name/order consistent across its recipes. Discovery uses the recipe and companion; keep the readable ID index above aligned when features or capability IDs change.

Optional ### Storybook verification guidance lives inside the recipe's Gotchas section. Each level-four heading contains a backtick-quoted capability key and has Scope (ui, cli, or browser), Storybook, Production, and Sources fields. These are verification instructions and intentional scope limits, not run results or a required story for every API. The generated gap report combines this guidance with current story associations.

After frontmatter, each recipe starts with an H1 and a user-visible description, then exactly:

  1. Sub-features — stable backticked local keys, full capability IDs, and observable behavior/states, such as - `company`: `onboarding/company` — create a company.
  2. How to get to it (user POV) — one H3 backticked entry-point ID per surface.
  3. Driving it with — starts with Preconditions:; repeat each entry-point H3, with Automated: and Manual: paragraphs. Name test scope and gaps honestly.
  4. Gotchas — misleading look-alikes, feature gates, and invalid evidence.

New or updated entries follow Poteto's feature-map examples. Existing entries with a Driving it heading can adopt the named harness when their recipes are updated. The original format was inspired by Omnigent's feature map. Paperclip's recipes and checks follow its own task model and test infrastructure.
