## Thinking Path > - Paperclip manages work that AI agents perform for users. > - Native sessions retain files on the web server and state in a remote provider. > - Replacing the web server must preserve its files without changing remote recovery authority. > - The existing maintenance owner requires destroyed-provider receipts even when all web writers have settled. > - This can keep the old web volume required only because a remote recovery obligation remains unresolved. > - This pull request adds a closed web-byte evidence mode to the existing preservation owner. > - The benefit is durable web-file coverage with unchanged remote references, failures and continuation policy. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description Refs #19748, #19806. A search for native harness filesystem evidence and open web/harness changes found no duplicate implementation. **What happened?** A settled successful native source can retain a raw controller, a separate warm supervisor and provider-home files while its historical external lease has no termination receipt. The existing filesystem-independence owner refuses before it can preserve these web files. One retained skill file can also remain physically present after its version row was deleted. **Expected behavior** Preserve every nonexcluded web file as authenticated evidence. Keep missing files absent and deleted skill versions deleted. Leave VM references, recovery actions, failures and execution authority unchanged. Validate the published web-byte receipt on an empty replacement using database bindings only. **Steps to reproduce** Use the included successful-source fixture with a settled web owner, an unresolved external lease, real controller/supervisor files and a retained skill whose version row is deleted. The baseline rejects at its destroyed-provider guard. The new explicit maintenance mode preserves the files and validates on a replacement. A separate fixture uses a prior successful source, a failed retained last run, a genuinely absent controller, a warm supervisor and 267 durable checkpoint parts. **Paperclip version/commit** Baseline `384fa2b7be`; final branch rebased onto `585c885168`. Current head: `990210d7e9`. **Deployment mode** Original-volume maintenance followed by an ephemeral replacement. No hosted operation or provider request is part of this PR. ## What Changed - Add explicit `web_evidence` maintenance mode and a separate `paperclip.native-harness-web-evidence.v1` receipt. Keep the existing terminated-provider mode and old manifest shapes. - Archive the closed canonical session-root inventory, the separate warm supervisor and exact admitted skill manifests through the existing encrypted `original_volume_source_evidence` owner. Preserve bytes and modes. Keep canonical credential exclusions. - Preserve local skill edits and deleted-version files as forensic evidence. Create no skill version, executable checkpoint, provider backup or recovery authority. - Require original-volume capability, settled web writers, physical/finalizer locks, exact task/source/cohort/input bindings and final byte/mode/membership comparisons. Keep genuinely absent raw controllers absent. - Bind allocation and stamp identity while allowing later external status and cleanup observations. Validate replacements from durable database and archive bindings without the original anchor, filesystem or storage reads. ## Verification - Node 24.22.2, PostgreSQL 18.1, macOS arm64. The unchanged baseline fails at the real destroyed-provider guard. The final revision passes all 85 owner, original-volume capability and unchanged continuation-policy cases in 21.14 seconds. - Tests perform real encryption, persistence through the S3 storage interface backed by the owned local fixture, authenticated restore and exact byte/mode comparisons. The 281-byte file remains present while its version row remains absent. The evidence archive stays separate from the provider-session backup scope. - The supervisor-only case preserves 267 database checkpoint parts, keeps the raw controller absent and validates without original-volume identity. Existing strict-mode and old receipt controls pass. - Negative controls cover active web writers, expired but owned finalizers, physical owners, foreign controller/supervisor identities, missing manifests, symlinks, changed bytes/modes/membership/source during upload, changed durable bindings, incomplete receipt coverage and invalid late publication. Concurrent attempts retain one valid winner and one audit event. - Server TypeScript, module boundaries, diff checks and private-data scans pass. The verification planner's first invocation used a wrong script path; its canonical invocation refused a plan because fixture inputs changed during selection. Neither attempt counts as a pass. Required CI will provide broader application coverage. - Earlier fixture and treatment failures remain recorded. They exposed a missing helper, JSONB property-order instability, missing separate-supervisor mode coverage and fixture timing/source/count errors. The final same owner suite passes without weakened assertions. - A canonical cleanup audit found two additional observation fields: the cleanup controller and manual-attempt ID. Their real publication updates reproduced false receipt invalidation on the first PR head. The narrow correction keeps WEB coverage valid through those observations while changed allocation identity still fails. The exact same 85-case suite passes afterward. The final `990210d7e9` head has fresh Greptile 5/5 with no comments or unresolved threads. Required CI run [42370607882](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42370607882) passes: 55 successful checks and four intended skips, plus successful Snyk. The old head's CI was superseded by this correction and is not counted as a pass. From `server/`: ```sh node ../cli/node_modules/tsx/dist/cli.mjs ../packages/db/src/test-postgres-command.ts -- node ../node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run src/services/native-runtime/native-harness-filesystem-independence.integration.test.ts src/services/native-runtime/native-harness-original-volume.test.ts src/services/native-runtime/native-harness-filesystem-independence-continuation.integration.test.ts --hookTimeout 90000 --maxWorkers 1 --fsModuleCache ``` ## Risks This changes a maintenance trust boundary. It proves web-byte preservation, not provider recovery or termination. External recovery obligations and existing resume failures remain. Unknown layouts, missing manifests, active local owners and changed authority fail closed. Invalid receipts are not automatically replaced. The inventory has independent limits of 128 entries, 16 MiB per file and 64 MiB total. Larger valid data stays on the original volume and blocks this mode. Canonical credential exclusions remain excluded. Evidence uses the existing encrypted ledger and retention roots; it does not become an executable backup. Old receipts remain byte-compatible. Startup adds bounded per-retained-scope database reads. Measure the affected cohort's actual serving startup cost before enrollment. Validation adds no filesystem or object read, worker or recurring poll. Live source qualification and publication remain separate after review, merge and normal delivery. ## Model Used OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, repository tools and PostgreSQL/filesystem test execution. The runtime does not expose a more specific serving model ID or context-window size. ## 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>
