## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work. > - Agent environments can leave pending teardown or unverified provider resources. > - Recovery must preserve those resources until ownership and workspace safety allow cleanup. > - Empty maintenance scans keep an idle instance and its database active. > - The existing rows, transaction signals, and scheduler can represent the actual recovery obligation. > - This pull request schedules pending cleanup and historical verification only while work remains. > - An empty or fully verified instance stops these scans without losing cleanup recovery. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description **What happened?** The server scanned pending environment cleanup on its maintenance tick. The run reaper also scanned it even when it recovered no runs or active leases. Historical resource verification scanned every five minutes, including when all history already had valid cleanup proof. **What did you expect?** Writes should wake cleanup. Pending rows, deferred orphan buffers, and unverified history should retain recovery deadlines. When none remain, these workers should make no periodic database or provider calls. **Steps to reproduce** Start a configured instance with no pending leases and fully verified history. Leave it idle. Observe repeated pending-cleanup and historical-verification reads from the maintenance paths. Related: #17106 supplies the preceding login-cleanup migration. #13523 improves lease-reaper query indexes. #16809 addresses reusable-sandbox recovery authority. This PR keeps those authority checks in their existing services. ## What Changed - Register two workers with the existing delivery coordinator and shared scheduler. Remove their unconditional maintenance-tick calls. Run the reaper's inline pending cleanup only after it recovers actual work. - Add commit-aware signals to the audited lease and custom-image writers. Existing transactions notify directly; other writers use one small transaction helper. No tables or migrations are added. - Derive pending cleanup deadlines from the existing row backoff and retry or claim metadata. Retain a historical retry only while an unverified candidate exists. - Register unwritten orphan buffers across runtimes that share the database handle. Buffer registration wakes recovery without a database connection. Load the existing spool at startup and retry failed or capacity-limited loads while needed. - Isolate spool failures per runtime. Attempt all buffers and persisted pending rows, then retain a retry for any failed spool. - Document producer coverage, idle behavior, and remaining blockers. Update the sleep inventory. - Repair the inherited CSS-recovery E2E test: the current build no longer emits task-page CSS. Exercise the actual lazy environment stylesheet, preserving real network failure, recovery, and bounded reload assertions. ## Verification October 24 integration update: merged current master and resolved the runtime/spool conflicts. Preserve serialized ingestion of records appended after startup. Plugin replacement failures now register deferred recovery with an idle hold; concurrent callers share one persistence attempt. The producer audit includes this new writer. - Focused cleanup selection: 270 tests now pass across five suites. The initial run lacked a built plugin SDK and executed no tests; building the SDK fixed setup. The new concurrent-flush assertion then reproduced duplicate rows; a single-flight guard fixed it and all 18 plugin integration tests passed on rerun. - Server typecheck passed. After review fixes, all 211 tests across the cleanup worker, real orphan spool, environment runtime, and plugin integration suites passed. These overlap the earlier focused selection. The rate-limit test initially expected a write after twenty idle minutes to wait; corrected it to assert that subsequent writes cannot accelerate the five-minute cadence. - Review fixes preserve retries for unreadable spool directories/records, keep historical provider checks off the startup wait while joining them at shutdown, and restore their independent five-minute minimum spacing. The complete [CI matrix](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40108905033) passed on final commit `79ae1589c3c7b924db4bedb337d0c7ed3d95020b`, including all E2E shards, server/workspace tests, runner checks, typecheck, build/public-install verification, and security checks. - CI found a stale E2E asset matcher: `issue-detail-*.css` is no longer emitted. Both corrected browser tests passed against a fresh production UI build and disposable local instance. Fresh Greptile review is 5/5 on that same final commit, with all review threads resolved. Previous implementation verification: - `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed. - New PostgreSQL worker suite: 12 tests passed. Covers quiet configured state, verified history, writes, outer commit and rollback, retry deadlines, restart, drain, deferred orphan buffers, spool failure, pagination, provider uncertainty, shutdown, and the idle run-reaper path. - Worker and environment runtime suites after review fix: 183 tests passed. A new assertion reproduced buffer starvation before the fix. Updated transaction fault injection and isolated simulated-instance database handles. Server typecheck also passed after the fix. - Run-recovery suites: 58 tests passed. Pending-cleanup suite: 38 tests passed after updating the logging fixture to seed real orphan recovery; an idle reaper no longer invokes cleanup. - Stop and workspace-recovery integration selection: 268 tests passed; two live-provider tests skipped by their environment gate. This overlaps the worker suite and is not an additional unique-test count. - Started the full local `pnpm test:run`, then stopped that older duplicate run after CI found the fixture mismatch. The corrected 38-test suite passed locally. The full sharded [CI matrix](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39678174479) passed on final commit `fc0ff3c4554ca4190a8b0b81ec06ef7065b8ad2c`, including build, typecheck, runner, server, workspace, and E2E checks. This is not a claim that the local full run completed. ## Risks - Missing a future producer signal could delay discovery until restart. The producer audit is documented in `doc/idle-environment-cleanup.md`. Independent SQL writers and another server process are outside the existing process-local notification contract. - Historical candidates blocked by ownership or provider uncertainty keep a five-minute retry until they can be verified. Provider destruction, claim fencing, Stop retention, and workspace safety remain controlled by their existing services. - This does not remove orphan-active discovery or legacy shutdown settlement from run recovery. Active custom-image expiry is also still periodic. External wake coverage does not change. - Local tests prove these workers become quiet and recover. They do not establish deployed instance suspension or fleet cost savings. ## Model Used OpenAI Codex (GPT-6), with code execution and reasoning.
