## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work. > - Native runs use a Paperclip tool authority to declare tools to the provider thread. Codex runs through runnerd. > - An external-chat wake with a truncated comment batch requires the agent to call `read_current_wake_comments`. A terminal fence fails the run if the agent did not read every bound comment. > - Codex `thread/resume` has no `dynamicTools` parameter. A resumed thread keeps the tool catalog from its first `thread/start`. > - The tool authority declared `read_current_wake_comments` and `read_chat_attachment` only when the current run had a binding. The tool-contract fingerprint already said that both tools are "always advertised", so the code and the contract did not agree. > - When a truncated chat wake resumed a thread that started on an ordinary turn, the agent could not see the reader. The agent blocked, and the fence failed the run with `native_current_wake_comments_unread`. The task then stayed blocked for the board. > - This pull request declares both readers on every turn and rotates threads that started with the old catalog. > - The benefit: truncated GitHub, Slack, and other chat wakes can read their full comment batch on resumed threads. They no longer fail at the fence. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description No public issue exists. This is the bug description, in the fields of `bug_report.yml`. **What happened?** A native Codex run got a GitHub chat wake with a truncated comment batch. The prompt told the agent to call `read_current_wake_comments`. The agent searched for the tool and did not find it. It reported a block (`required_wake_reader_unavailable`). The server sent the reader in the run's authorized tool list, but the provider thread had resumed. The fence then failed the run with `native_current_wake_comments_unread`, and the task became blocked. This happened 6 times on staging for the same task. **Expected behavior** A resumed thread can call `read_current_wake_comments` and `read_chat_attachment` on any turn that has a binding. The run then completes normally. **Steps to reproduce** 1. Start a native Codex session on a task with an ordinary wake. Do not use a truncated chat wake. 2. Send an external-chat message that makes the wake comment batch truncated (`fallbackFetchNeeded: true`). 3. The run resumes the same Codex thread. The model cannot see `read_current_wake_comments`. The run fails with `native_current_wake_comments_unread`. **Paperclip version or commit** Hosted staging release `fc0d390d`. The code is the same on `master` at `3bbc210`. **Deployment mode** Hosted (staging). The native runner uses the `codex_app_server` backend through runnerd in an external sandbox. **Agent adapter(s) involved** Codex (native `paperclip_runner`). Related history: the existing retained-fingerprint table already lists a "conditional current-wake reader" rotation. This change fixes a regression of that contract. I searched open and closed PRs for `current_wake_comments` and "wake comments" and found no duplicate fix. ## What Changed - `PaperclipRunnerToolAuthority.definitions()` now always declares `read_current_wake_comments` and `read_chat_attachment`. Execution stays fail-closed: without the server-verified binding or scope, a call still fails with `paperclip_runner_tool_not_advertised` or `paperclip_runner_chat_attachment_read_scope_unavailable`. - The native tool-contract fingerprint goes from v17 to v18, with the two policy values set to `.v2`. Checkpoints from deployed v17 threads, which may lack the readers, start a fresh provider thread one time with full task context. - New regression test: the catalog for an ordinary turn is equal to the catalog for a truncated chat turn, and it contains both readers. - New resume tests: the deployed v17 local and remote fingerprints do not rebind. The existing test that asserted conditional advertisement now asserts the stable catalog and the fail-closed execution. ## Verification - Red before the fix: `npx vitest run src/services/native-runtime/paperclip-runner-tool-authority.test.ts -t "advertises only real bindings|keeps run-scoped reader declarations stable"` had 2 failures. The unbound catalog had 48 tools and did not include either reader. - Green after the fix: `paperclip-runner-tool-authority.test.ts`, `native-session-resume.test.ts`, `current-wake-comments.test.ts`, `chat-attachment-read.test.ts`, `native-execution-input.test.ts`, and `file-delivery-bridges.test.ts` all pass. - `native-session-executor.test.ts`: 764 pass and 1 fails. The failure (`compares export process compatibility … (changed: false)`, `db.transaction is not a function`) also happens on unchanged `main`, so this change did not cause it. - Consequential assumption: Codex does not refresh dynamic tools on resume. Evidence: `codex app-server generate-json-schema` for codex-cli 0.160.0 shows `ThreadStartParams.dynamicTools`, but `ThreadResumeParams` has no `dynamicTools` field. The failed staging run also showed it: the server listed `read_current_wake_comments` as authorized, but the model's tool search returned no match after `thread/resume`. - Not run locally: the server `tsc --noEmit` step (the sandbox has a 4 GB memory limit and the process was killed) and `dot-runner.test.ts` (`cargo` is not installed). CI runs both. - Not run: a live end-to-end chat wake against a real Codex provider. That needs a staging deployment. ## Risks - The fingerprint bump makes every native session that resumes from a v17 checkpoint start a fresh provider thread one time. Paperclip rebuilds the full task context, but the provider-side conversation history is not carried over. This is the same tradeoff as earlier fingerprint bumps. - Two more tool declarations use a small part of the Codex dynamic-tool budget. The assigned-MCP fit check already includes these definitions. - Follow-up, not in this PR: the native Codex driver reports `toolRefreshOnResume: true`, and the runnerd fake app server accepts `dynamicTools` on `thread/resume`. Real codex-cli 0.160.0 has no such field. Connection-tool continuations that depend on resume refresh need a separate check. ## Model Used - Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) from Anthropic, running as a Paperclip agent with tool use (shell, file edit, and test execution). ## 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 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-authored-by: devinfoley <139239+devinfoley@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
