## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native Codex runs submit each turn through runnerd. The transport
answers `turn/start` only after it sees the provider's `turn/started`
for the turn the durable command result named
> - That wait has a fixed 30 s bound
> - At host load around 50, after two hard restarts, Codex accepted a
turn and started it about 27 s after the command, beyond the bound once
scheduling delay was added. The transport failed the start, but the
provider kept running the turn and made a tool call
> - No controller owned that turn. Its close could not settle, and the
task's Retry was refused at once
> - This pull request adopts the accepted turn when the bound expires,
but only when the runner still reports that turn active
> - The benefit is that a slow but live provider turn stays owned, so
its events, Stop and close keep working
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
In a restart chaos replay (two SIGKILLs about 20 s apart, local runner,
real Codex, load 50), a resumed run failed with `runnerd did not report
the provider turn identity`. The runner journal shows the durable
`turn.start` result with the provider turn id, then `turn.started` for
that same turn 27 s later, followed by items and a semantic tool call.
The run's close then stayed incomplete (`semanticResultsSettled:
false`), and a Retry of the task failed with
`native_session_cleanup_quarantined: prior session cleanup remains
incomplete`.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Use a Codex provider that answers `turn/start` and emits
`turn/started` later than the transport's turn-start bound.
2. Start a turn through the runnerd transport.
**Expected behavior**
The accepted turn is owned and observed by the controller.
**Actual behavior**
The start fails after the bound, while the provider still runs the turn.
## What Changed
- `runnerd-codex-transport.ts` (`#startTurnWork`):
- Near the end of the bound, if `turn/started` has not arrived, the
transport reads an authenticated `session.snapshot`. It reserves at most
5 s (or a quarter of the bound) for this read.
- It binds the accepted turn only when the turn is provably live:
- the runner reports that exact provider turn as active;
- the runner attributed no provider launch
(`provider_startup_ownership`) to a command after this `turn.start`;
- for a local provider, the same process (pid and start time) that
accepted the turn is still alive.
- Otherwise it keeps waiting for `turn/started` until the configured
bound and fails exactly as before. A turn lost across a provider
relaunch keeps the same-run resume path.
- `fake-codex-app-server.rs`: new test options `--turn-started-delay-ms`
(a delay between the `turn/start` response and `turn/started`) and
`--exit-before-turn-started`.
## Verification
- Red before the fix: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec
vitest run src/live/runnerd-codex-transport-deadlines.test.ts -t "adopts
a durably accepted"` (real runnerd and fake Codex, 12 s start delay, 8 s
bound) failed with `runnerd did not report the provider turn identity`.
This is the replay's error.
- Green after the fix: the start resolves with `provider-turn-1`, and
`turn/started` and the turn's terminal follow in order. There is one
provider `turn/start`.
- Negative case (`does not adopt an accepted turn the runner no longer
reports active`): the provider accepts the turn and exits before
starting it. The runner relaunches the provider and still lists the
turn, but the turn is not adopted. The start fails within the bound plus
scheduling slack. A snapshot-only version of this change adopted that
dead turn, and it hung for 20 s with no terminal.
- `src/native-session-runtime.test.ts`,
`src/live/runnerd-restart-continuation.test.ts` and
`src/live/runnerd-codex-transport-deadlines.test.ts` pass. The package
typecheck passes.
- Live chaos replays: results are added in a comment.
## Risks
- A provably live provider that accepts a turn and never starts it now
waits on the turn's own timeout and Stop paths instead of failing after
30 s. A dead or relaunched provider still fails at the bound.
- Remote runners can adopt only on the runner's own evidence (active
turn and no later provider launch), because their provider pid is not a
local process.
- A stale `turn/started` for a previous turn that arrives after the new
command result is still rejected. The transport cannot attribute that
turn's following events, so rejecting it fails only the transport, and
the same-run resume continues the task (seen in the replay). Delivering
it would attach the old turn's items and usage to the new turn.
