## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work. > - Agents use tools through company-scoped connections and provider sessions. > - Resolving a tool connection currently forces a fresh session even when the provider can load new tools into the existing conversation. > - A fresh provider conversation can receive too little history to continue the task. > - This pull request adds explicit tool-refresh capabilities and uses them in both runner paths. > - Fresh attempts receive bounded task history with source IDs and retrieval instructions. > - The benefit is that agents can continue the same task after a connection changes. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description **What happened?** A resolved tool connection forced a fresh provider conversation. The new conversation could lose the original goal and prior answers. Claude also rejected resume when only the MCP server set changed. **Expected behavior** Resume the provider conversation when its harness can refresh tools. When a fresh session is required, supply enough bounded history to continue the task. Preserve company, agent, task, workspace, model, instruction, and skill checks. **Steps to reproduce** 1. Start a conversation and agree on a task and its constraints. 2. Request and connect a tool needed for the task. 3. Continue the conversation after the connection resolves. 4. Check that the agent remembers the task and can use the new tool. **Paperclip version or commit** The bug was reproduced on master at `c46e41e81`. This branch is rebased on current master. **Deployment mode** Self-hosted server. Both legacy adapters and the native runner are affected. Related public work: Refs #13282 for task-backed conversations. Refs #13057 for the broader session-compaction proposal. Refs #14659 for another report about local CLI session continuity. This change fixes tool-connection continuation. Provider authentication repairs keep their existing recovery behavior. ## What Changed - Expose tool-refresh support in native harness descriptors and legacy adapter metadata. - Request tool refresh after connection resolution. Keep provider authentication repair as a fresh-session wake. - Reload current tools and credentials while retaining supported Claude, Codex, Grok, and other provider conversations. - Allow MCP-only changes during qualified native recovery. Keep all other compatibility checks. - Refresh managed-provider and ACPX tool bindings when attaching a new run. - Add a fresh-session handoff for both runner paths. Bound database reads, excerpts, and the final packet to 24,000 bytes. - Include the original request, recent messages, decisions, plans, prior answers, and source IDs. Mark omitted content. Apply reset boundaries, wake cutoffs, quarantine, and secret redaction. - Add regression tests and document the capabilities and handoff behavior. ## Verification - `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed. Rust formatting passed. - Final review fixes passed 314 server tests, 333 adapter utility tests, 139 native-session runtime tests, and 12 managed-provider Rust tests. They verify historical quarantine, raised budgets across attachment, no history reads on successful resume, and handoff delivery on fresh retry. - Broader branch verification also passed 1,401 adapter utility tests, 1,047 runner TypeScript tests, 43 Grok adapter tests, and 311 Rust core tests. - Live Claude CLI and Grok ACP probes preserved the provider session ID, recalled a prior task constraint, and called a newly added read-only MCP tool. - GitHub CI passed on `b21486d18084a7aa4cafbe8e012f7cad6585d9cc`: 55 successful checks and 4 skipped checks. This includes all test shards, all eight browser shards, runner checks, and the Grok clean public npm install canary. [CI run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37057514976). - A full local test attempt encountered a separate Git snapshot timeout. All affected local suites passed after the final edits, and the full CI test gates passed. - Review the capability matrix in `packages/paperclip-runner/README.md`. Repeat the four reproduction steps with a supported provider and with an unsupported harness. ## Risks - Provider tool refresh can fail. Existing recovery falls back to a fresh conversation where policy permits it. - A new transport can replace an old process while preserving the provider conversation. Tests cover current credentials and unchanged identity. - Long history can omit older context. Explicit markers and source IDs let the agent retrieve needed context within task scope. - Unknown and unqualified harnesses use the fresh-session path. No database migration is required. ## Model Used OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with reasoning, tool use, code execution, and live provider testing. The exact model ID and context-window size are not exposed in this session. Claude and Grok also ran as test subjects. ## 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>
