## Thinking Path > - Paperclip coordinates agent work and preserves its results. > - Remote execution copies completed workspace changes back to the host. > - An agent can fetch a published branch with shallow Git history. > - A full Git bundle omits the shallow boundary metadata and can fail host connectivity checks. > - This pull request carries the boundaries through the full-bundle fallback and imports through normal Git fetch. > - Recovery must also recognize completed native work on a reusable lease without treating it as ordinary executor reuse. > - Completed work can be saved without another provider turn, while existing host history remains connected. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description **What happened?** Sandbox finalization can fail with a missing parent commit after an agent checks out a separately fetched shallow branch. Re-exporting a full bundle repeats the failure because Git bundles do not encode shallow boundaries. **Expected behavior** Import the completed branch and saved files. Preserve existing host ancestry and concurrent host edits. Keep normal Git connectivity and workspace merge checks. **Steps to reproduce** 1. Prepare a sandbox from one host commit. 2. Fetch a different published branch with depth one and check it out. 3. Save a result file and restore the sandbox workspace. **Paperclip version or commit** Reproduced against master before this repair. The regression fails with the missing-parent error before the production change. Related public context: #15268 covers rewritten history integration. This repair handles shallow bundle transport before integration. Searches found no equivalent open repair. ## What Changed - Export shallow boundaries beside the full bundle when the delta import lacks history. - Unpack into a temporary shared bare repository. Keep parent connections already available on the host and import with Git's shallow fetch protocol. - Reject malformed boundary values and retain existing connectivity, branch, and concurrent-work merge guards. Keep boundary probes within 15 seconds without consuming the separate 60-second Git import budget. - Let source-bound preservation recover reusable leases only for the finalizer-selected, accepted successful native result and matching completion contract. Retain provider-stop, physical ownership and host-writer checks; ordinary reusable sources remain blocked. - Classify invalid Git metadata separately from omittable unsafe archives. Keep native finalization failed and preserve service-owned file recovery; carry the sender's dedicated rejection across the command boundary without transient retries. - Share the failure allowlist across bounded run/activity projections and cancelled-preservation selection. Migration `0416` rebuilds the matching partial index; task chat retains the non-retryable recovery notice. - Add real Git, filesystem sandbox and database recovery regressions. Update execution semantics and affected verification maps. ## Verification - Red: real filesystem sandbox restore failed with the same missing-parent/revision-walk error before the export repair. - Green: 240 focused Git, workspace restore, sandbox transport and native-finalization tests pass. Coverage includes both transfer paths, malformed/oversized metadata, a genuinely shallow host with its original boundary intact, and concurrent host work with both merge parents verified. - Red/green: a 14-second simulated probe left the final real Git fetch only 45,893 ms before the budget split. It now retains over 55 seconds after the probes; a 16-second probe exhausts its own budget before host import. - Red/green: an oversized read progress report was retried three times before its distinct metadata classification. It now aborts the first read before payload consumption, leaves the host tip unchanged and does not retry. - Red/green: the real metadata error was swallowed by best-effort export and native finalization incorrectly returned success. Both regressions now pass; all 240 focused Git/restore/native-finalization tests pass. A PostgreSQL/filesystem fault-injection test also verifies retained files, failed run, service-owned recovery barrier, no preservation receipt and no new wake. - Red/green: duplicate metadata produced 47 Git process starts before deduplication; the bounded-work regression now passes. Oversized byte and boundary inputs fail before Git probes. - Recovery red: both reusable lease policies exhausted recovery despite a selected accepted successful result. The assembled PostgreSQL/filesystem path now passes for retained and both reusable policies, including idempotent re-admission after exhausted automatic recovery, saved files, no agent wake, and once-only existing-result finalization. - Source verification controls reject ordinary reusable leases, rejected/failed/unselected results, another physical allocation owner, and an active host writer without changing recorded state. - The 78-test PostgreSQL/filesystem recovery/source suite passed before the metadata classification correction. Its new persisted metadata-failure regression also passes. Full workspace typecheck and build pass at final head `69f10daab2`. - `node scripts/check-maps.mjs` and `git diff --check` pass. - Full local `pnpm test:run` attempts did not finish. They are not counted as passes. Early focused runs exceeded 5-second and 30-second fixture deadlines; the final serial suite passed all 176 tests with a 30-second per-test budget in 56.8 seconds. - Red/green: both bounded PostgreSQL projections dropped the new code in oversized results. All 19 source/projection cases now pass, plus an actual index-predicate test that excludes a metadata repair hold and still selects ordinary cancelled work. - Red/green: an oversized sender `.git/shallow` lost its error type before host validation. The real transport test now verifies one typed rejection, no shallow-payload read, and an unchanged host tip. All 465 command/sandbox/task-chat tests pass, and token/migration gates pass. - Full typecheck/build pass after these final contract corrections at `69f10daab2`; all 20 PostgreSQL source/projection/index contracts pass. All current-head CI checks passed; Greptile is 5/5 with no unresolved review threads. Merged #18230 supplies the CI-cache and Linux shell-fixture baseline repairs; their duplicate changes have been removed from this PR. The final Runner lane passed after one justified rerun of an unchanged authentication fixture timeout (all 11 fixture tests also pass locally). Previous CI failures and incomplete local runs remain recorded; live deployment and retained-run recovery remain separate verification. ## Risks - The fallback creates a temporary shared bare clone. Metadata is limited to 64 KiB and 256 unique boundaries, duplicate/parent probes are cached, and Git import has a 60-second command budget plus a separate 15-second boundary-probe budget. It runs only after a missing-history import failure. - Incorrect boundaries could hide real host ancestry. The importer retains available parent connections, and regressions cover that case. - The full-bundle fallback can transfer a bundle twice. This preserves the existing fast delta path; removing that extra transfer is outside this correctness repair. - Preservation eligibility expands only for completed native exports on reusable leases. It creates no provider turn and leaves ordinary reusable leases ineligible. Database/filesystem regressions cover result selection and competing physical/host ownership. - The migration rebuilds one partial index; no tables, columns or user records change. There are no agent execution admission, model, trust, recovery permission, workflow or lockfile changes. ## Model Used OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with reasoning, code execution, and browser tools.

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.
