## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work > - Before Paperclip starts a new message or a Retry after a failed native run, it proves that the run's local process stopped > - A native run can fail before native selection, for example when a budget reservation is refused or a preparation query fails. That run never had a runner, a native session or a process ID > - The stop gate still waited for a stop record of that process. Retry returned 202, then the task stayed on `retryWait.reason=process_identity_missing` and no run started > - Native selection writes the run's native issue, native session, runner instance and coordinator in one transaction. A runner launch needs all of them, and the executor records `native.process_start_requested` before any spawn > - This pull request treats a settled run with none of that evidence as having nothing to stop > - The benefit is that Retry and new messages continue after a failure that happened before the agent started ## Linked Issues or Issue Description **What happened?** In local restart-chaos database-load wave `w-20261110T050818-s20386`, all 4 tasks failed before any agent process started. One example is t01, run `f7e2ee55`. A preparation query failed, and the run ended `adapter_failed` with no native session, no runner instance, no process ID and no launch event. Retry returned 202. For 16 or more minutes, `retryWait` then stayed on `process_identity_missing` and no run started. **Expected behavior** If the previous run never had a process, there is nothing to verify, so Retry and new input continue. **Steps to reproduce** 1. Make a native run fail before native selection (for example, a refused budget reservation or a failed query). 2. Click Retry, or send a message. Before this change, the input waits on `process_identity_missing` and does not continue. ## What Changed - `native-local-process-stop.ts`: `nativeRunRefusedBeforeLaunch` (renamed `nativeRunNeverLaunched`) now also proves "never launched" for a settled native run in this state: - no process ID and no process group; - no native issue, no native session and no runner instance (native selection writes them together). A coordinator row requires the native issue by foreign key, so the native-issue check also rules out a coordinator; - no launch request, no identity record, no `adapter.invoke` and no runner-authored event (any event with a source event ID). The existing case, a run that the cleanup quarantine refused before launch, does not change. - `explicit-native-continuation.test.ts`: the guard "failed for another reason without a process record" now separates real pre-selection failures from the shapes that must stay held. - Admitted: a run that failed before it requested a launch. This case is red on `master`. - Still held on `process_identity_missing`: a run that has a runner event, a run with a prepared native session, and a run with a coordinator, for `failed`, `timed_out` and `interrupted` runs. A `timed_out` run that failed before launch is admitted. The chat suite's `unreconciled` case (a native issue and phase, no session) also stays held. ## Verification - Red/green: on `master`, `routes input after a run failed before it requested a launch` fails with `process_identity_missing`. It passes with this change. - `vitest run src/services/explicit-native-continuation.test.ts src/services/quarantined-task-retry.test.ts src/__tests__/issue-confirm-run-stopped-routes.test.ts`: 3 files, 462 tests pass. This includes every existing "keeps the hold for missing_process" and historical-run case. - Server `tsc --noEmit` passes. ## Risks - Low risk. The new proof needs structural evidence that no runner could exist: no native selection and no launch or runner event. A run that reached native selection, or that has any launch evidence, keeps every existing stop proof. - The proof does not depend on the build: a runner from any build needs the native session and the runner instance. Saved runs from older builds that were selected keep those fields, so they stay held exactly as before. - Relates to #20477, which fixes the restart window inside an answer run's attachment. This pull request is independent of it. ## Model Used - Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), via Claude Code with tool use (shell, file edits, 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 Refs #19829 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) --------- Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
