DottaandPaperclip 567c043b17 feat(server): expose bounded hot-upgrade readiness (#18037)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip coordinates agent work and keeps its authority in the
server.
> - Remote native runners can preserve execution through a server
replacement.
> - Deployment operators need evidence that current runs support that
recovery.
> - Process-local drain counters do not establish this fact.
> - This PR adds an optional, operator-only readiness observation from
existing records.
> - A deployment consumer can use that report while the existing runtime
retains recovery authority.

**What happened?**

A deployment cannot distinguish recoverable remote native executions
from runs that require a task drain. The existing status endpoint
reports only process-local counts.

**Expected behavior**

An instance operator can request a bounded readiness report without
stopping admission or exposing checkpoint material. Missing ownership or
persistence evidence must prevent readiness. Ordinary status reads must
keep their current cost.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run a remote native task. Read the task-drain status. It reports active
work but supplies no recovery eligibility. Deployment code therefore has
no affirmative signal to select an active-run handover.

## What Changed

- Add `GET /api/instance/task-drain?upgradeReadiness=1` for instance
administrators and existing Cloud control callers.
- Return aggregate eligibility from current run identities, controller
leases and bound opaque checkpoint headers. Unknown work, pending
admission and incomplete reads prevent a positive report.
- Bound the explicit read to 1,001 rows, encrypted headers of at most
256 KiB each and 8 MiB total, and a two-second SQL statement timeout in
a read-only transaction. Keep ordinary status reads in memory.
- Add PostgreSQL, count-transition and route authorization tests. Update
the API contract, operator docs and access maps.

## Verification

- All seven readiness cases pass against an isolated PostgreSQL 18
fixture. They cover missing checkpoints, legacy adapters, missing
process/session identities, foreign owners, expired leases, missing
lease tokens, failure state and in-flight work. The positive SQL fixture
uses the real Runner checkpoint writer and encryption. Regular sandbox
workspace identity and plugin environment-lease identity are tested with
independent IDs. Stopped/released/undispatched plugin tasks and every
mismatched identity field are rejected. Local/legacy/malformed/oversized
or mismatched headers are rejected. A held PostgreSQL table lock proves
the two-second cancellation budget, rollback/connection release and
unrelated query responsiveness.
- All 123 focused readiness, instance-settings and Cloud control
assertion tests pass, including operator-only access and no readiness
read on ordinary status requests. Runner’s 168 checkpoint tests pass.
Runner and server typechecks pass after review fixes.
- Workspace typecheck, full build, module-boundary and map checks passed
locally before the master rebase. Current-head GitHub CI is now green,
including typecheck, build, all grouped/serialized server and Runner
tests, browser shards, policy and review-dispatch checks. Greptile
completed cleanly at 5/5 for `f15fb0c7e9dfb975090cd5d791a1c8e6701275f8`;
all actionable threads are resolved.
- The broad local test run was stopped after the macOS embedded
PostgreSQL fixture failed to bootstrap. The SQL test was then run on the
isolated PostgreSQL fixture. No assertion or timeout was weakened. One
unrelated existing route test exceeded its 15-second limit under
concurrent local builds; it passed on one isolated retry and the
subsequent whole route suite passed.
- Hosted active-run upgrade acceptance has not run. This PR supplies an
observation; it does not change rollout policy or establish live
continuity by itself.

## Risks

This is an instance-wide observation, so company members and agent keys
must not receive it. A readiness snapshot can age as work changes;
shutdown and startup retain their existing execution authority and
fencing. The report does not validate a replacement artifact or
authorize a schema migration. It decrypts only bounded headers through
the checkpoint owner and delegates format/identity inspection to Runner;
full journal restoration and physical sandbox authentication remain with
recovery. No migration, recurring query, new checkpoint write or wire
protocol change is included. The additive Runner header inspection
contract reuses its existing parser.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, source inspection, tool
use and code execution. The host does not expose the exact serving model
ID or context-window size.

Paperclip agent access map

This map accompanies the feature map. It records APIs, agent entry points, permission boundaries and verification for the same capability IDs. The shared contract defines the format and maintenance rules.

The chat scenario catalog uses these same IDs for human requests and expected outcomes. Its scenarios retain the access boundaries here; neither a CEO role nor a planned scenario grants board authority or establishes a working production tool binding.

Use full capability IDs when referring to access contracts outside their file: onboarding/company means the company capability in onboarding.md in both maps. The feature index lists feature and capability IDs; IDs and references explains entry-point references and stable naming.

Browse access contracts

The same-named feature recipes define navigation and capability IDs. Run node scripts/storybook-catalog.mjs for the generated maps/generated/agent-access-map.md index, or browse the published feature guide. Add or update the affected companion; there is no central registration or count.

Existing baseline source references describe the original inspection, not current verification. Record new executed evidence in the PR, issue, or CI artifact with its revision and scope. Do not refresh unrelated headers as bookkeeping.

Using an entry

Read its Policy and Gaps before selecting an agent path. Native fallback, legacy REST/CLI, stdio MCP and a personal assistant connection can have different authority and availability. Use a real admitted production binding; a scenario declaration is not an installed tool. A restricted entry records current enforcement and leaves any unresolved delegation decision visible.

For API catalog disagreements, follow the route/service authorization and record discovery drift. For not-applicable, retain the concrete exception and local path. Split shared business operations from client-only presentation.

Use maintain-verification-skill to reconcile changed source and both maps. Use verify-paperclip and existing API/runner/MCP fixtures to collect the permitted-agent and denial evidence; report blocked/not-run coverage honestly. Run node scripts/check-maps.mjs after editing. The structural check does not certify permissions, API catalog coverage, tool admission or live behavior.

Native REST transport

The call_api parity change reconciles affected baselines against 58e16dbddfc9c8d0cf60867f9d9847f0feda055b and the changes in this PR. Ordinary REST operations use the same route authorization as legacy agent REST. Dedicated tools remain optional for those operations; protocol endpoints still need their existing clients. Board-only routes remain restricted for agent identity.

Native search_api / call_api is enabled by default, but explicit server, company-allowlist and binding settings can narrow admission. It requires a running authorized native run, current task assignment and execution-run binding, company and budget authority, task privacy, and a permitted work mode. Ask and Plan retain mutation restrictions, and runs retain their admitted JWT scope during restart recovery even when task mode changes. A waiting agent does not gain independent native control just because a REST route exists. Connection-management reads support Standard, Ask and Plan; mutations require Standard. Skill-test runs and nonstandard task-bridge keys cannot administer connections. These gates supplement each operation's grants, resolved resource and target scope, and responsible-user authority. See the rollout policy and connection authorization.

Credential-bearing replies, including company exports and their legacy alias, stay inline under a 10 MiB limit and use encrypted mutation receipts. Other saved API snapshots are limited to the issuing actor and responsible user, plus authorized administrators. Artifact uploads enforce the same access checks as downloads; private snapshots are excluded from company exports and public company logos. Explicit deliverables use the existing sharing path. Native event history, checkpoints and completion records omit API bodies while preserving receipt metadata and replay digests. Restored webhook secrets use the same encrypted receipt and inline response policy as newly created webhook secrets. Task image access requires the company boundary and the task permission; skill-test and low-trust agents do not need company-wide browsing authority. Completion replay applies the same idempotent projection to stored and expected payloads; the run-log guide describes its fields.

Sources: API client, catalog, native authority, credential storage classification, snapshot access, and history redaction. The affected entries remain baseline and source-only; this reconciliation does not certify every operation. Targeted real-route proof lives in the API integration suite, including owned routines, skill tests, scoped secrets, proposals and private export replay.
