<!-- Write all pull request text in Simplified Technical English (ASD-STE100): short sentences, one instruction per sentence, simple approved vocabulary, and the active voice. --> ## Thinking Path > - Paperclip coordinates AI agents through scheduled heartbeat runs. > - The heartbeat scheduler can call `tickTimers()` again before an earlier tick has finished. > - Each overlapping tick can read the same old `lastHeartbeatAt` value and decide that the same agent is due. > - The existing queue checks do not make that due-time decision atomic. > - This pull request atomically advances the timer baseline before it enqueues the wake. > - The benefit is that one timer interval can create at most one scheduled run for an agent. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description No public GitHub issue describes this exact scheduler race. Related pull requests address active-run overlap or queued-run buildup, but they do not atomically claim a due timer interval: #9457, #8416, and #3858. **What happened?** Two overlapping calls to `tickTimers()` could both read the same due timer baseline. Both calls could enqueue a timer run for the same agent and interval. **Expected behavior** Only one scheduler tick must claim a due timer interval. A second overlapping tick must observe that the interval was already claimed and skip it. **Steps to reproduce** 1. Create an active agent with a 60-second timer interval. 2. Set `lastHeartbeatAt` to more than 60 seconds in the past. 3. Call `tickTimers(now)` twice with `Promise.all()`. 4. Observe that the old code can enqueue two runs for the same interval. **Paperclip version or commit** Reproduced on `master` before this branch. **Deployment mode** Local development with embedded PostgreSQL. ## What Changed - Added an atomic conditional update that claims a due timer interval by advancing `lastHeartbeatAt`. - Made `tickTimers()` enqueue only after that conditional update succeeds. - Preserved first-heartbeat telemetry when the timer claim advances `lastHeartbeatAt` before run completion. - Added regression tests for concurrent claims and first-heartbeat telemetry. ## Verification - `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run src/__tests__/heartbeat-stale-queue-invalidation.test.ts` — 24 tests passed on the final rebased commit. - `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts -t "preserves first-heartbeat telemetry after a timer interval claim|tracks the first heartbeat with the agent role"` — 2 tests passed. - `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed after the review fix. - `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed. - `pnpm build` — passed. - `pnpm test:run` — 3,121 tests passed and 2 tests skipped. One unrelated runtime-skills test exceeded its 5-second limit under full-suite load. - `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run src/__tests__/heartbeat-runtime-skills.test.ts` — the timed-out file passed in isolation, 2 tests passed. - `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db exec vitest run src/status-card-migrations.test.ts` — the unrelated CI timeout passed in isolation. - The full PR CI matrix passed after one rerun of that unrelated timeout. - Greptile passed with zero new comments and no unresolved review threads. ## Risks - Low risk. The change only affects due timer claims. - If enqueue fails after the claim, the next timer attempt waits for one interval. This is safer than duplicate agent execution. - No schema, migration, API, UI, or dependency changes are included. > For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR.
