DottaandPaperclip 795c3c4c1d fix(recovery): continue saved input after historical retry pause (#19576)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages work performed by AI agents.
> - Its scheduler parks work when another run holds a shared workspace.
> - A pause can refuse the scheduled retry before provider dispatch.
> - Older schedulers recorded that refusal in the run log without a JSON
marker.
> - After the pause was released, a saved user message could remain held
for execution recovery.
> - This change verifies the original refusal and parent workspace-wait
proof before admitting one continuation.
> - Existing execution, Stop, budget, approval, and workspace guards
remain in force.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19466, #19552, #19580, #19602.

**What happened?**

A saved user message remained deferred after a pause was released. Its
source was a never-claimed workspace retry. The historical source had an
`issue_paused` error and no JSON cancellation marker. The continuation
proof accepted only a different system-cancellation shape.

**Expected behavior**

The normal saved-message worker admits the existing input once when
trusted scheduler evidence proves no provider dispatch occurred and
current admission gates permit work.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Record a host-certified pre-provider workspace wait and its scheduled
retry.
2. Let the real scheduler refuse promotion under an active task pause,
including after the user presses Retry Now.
3. Keep the historical run-log-only cancellation shape, then release the
pause.
4. Run concurrent normal saved-message recovery scans.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The regression fails on master `f0006c7783`. It leaves zero queued
successors. The branch now normally integrates the fixture repairs in
#19602 and #19628.

## What Changed

- Accept the historical cancellation shape only when a trusted system
lifecycle warning records the exact scheduler pause refusal. A prior
Retry Now event does not invalidate that proof.
- Bind the event to a released same-company pause and its task
membership.
- Reuse the existing parent workspace-wait certificate,
no-provider-output checks, and retained-execution rejection.
- Preserve historical cancellation records and consume the existing
saved input through normal admission.
- Document the contract and add real PostgreSQL coverage using actual
scheduler suppression and pause release.

## Verification

- RED: the real scheduler suppressed the retry under a pause. After
release, two normal recovery scans left zero successors.
- GREEN: the same path creates one successor and coalesces the original
saved request.
- All 389 tests in the complete native continuation suite pass before
the final base update. The only changed continuation source from master
is the separately merged one-line repair in #19552.
- Fourteen focused cases passed at
`2aaeb50f78ba0a22809ab96a00076ce50fcea559`, including a parent pause
covering a child task. Thirteen cases also passed before the base
update. They cover the normal path and missing event, wrong task,
missing membership, active or mistimed pause, provider activity,
retained lease, operator Stop, and invalid ancestry.
- The earlier seven-layer server typecheck passed after building this
worktree's Runner and SDK dependencies. The current review fix passes
the exact CI test-layer typecheck. Fresh required CI will supply
current-head source coverage.
- The first sandboxed database run could not bind loopback. A later
fresh dependency install omitted native PostgreSQL library symlinks and
failed before executing tests. The package's own postinstall hydration
repaired that setup. Previous-head verification passed all 14 focused
cases at `2aaeb50f78ba0a22809ab96a00076ce50fcea559`.
- Module-boundary and whitespace checks pass.
- Commands: `cd server && pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/explicit-native-continuation.test.ts`; `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/server typecheck`.
- Environment: macOS arm64, Node 26.4.0, pnpm 9.15.4, real local
PostgreSQL.
- Previous head `2aaeb50f78ba0a22809ab96a00076ce50fcea559` had Greptile
5/5 and 56 passing checks, with three skipped. A later advisory review
found the Retry Now event-order case. Those checks do not qualify the
new head. Hosted recovery remains unverified.
- Review RED: the real `retryScheduledRetryNow` producer wrote
lifecycle/info at sequence 1 and the exact pause warning at sequence 2.
After real hold release and two concurrent normal queued-message scans,
both task-rooted and parent-rooted cases produced zero successors
instead of one. Both failed before the production change (17.24s).
- Review GREEN: all 17 focused cases pass at
`f38e9934b8ce3f7ddfb23eaa0f979c3f44e7a990` (4.74s). The previous 14
cases remain covered. Two new cases use the real Retry Now producer, and
one new case rejects contradictory provider execution evidence. No
pause, membership, timing, ancestry, output, retained-execution, or Stop
check was removed.
- Current focused command: `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/services/explicit-native-continuation.test.ts -t 'historical
pause|Retry Now pause history' --fsModuleCache`. Current test-layer
typecheck: `cd server && node ../node_modules/typescript/bin/tsc
--noEmit --project
node_modules/.cache/paperclip-typecheck/tsconfig.tests.json --pretty
false`. Both pass.
- Final-head verification: all 17 focused cases passed again at
`c88687d69f2c87fe1b81b5fffd670e3cf26a884d` (8.00s). The prior exact CI
test-layer typecheck qualifies the unchanged typed logic; fresh CI
supplies broader final-head coverage.
- The follow-up commit removes only the new code comments to follow
CONTRIBUTING.md. Recovery and test behavior are unchanged. That revision
had Greptile 5/5 with its actionable review thread resolved. It is
retained as historical verification; current-head qualification is
below.

- The first final-head CI attempt failed in the unchanged CLI company
import/export fixture before assertions: its child server did not reach
the runtime-info health check within 30 seconds. Other suites passed.
The exact fixture passes locally with its original timeout. The single
failed-shard retry passed at the unchanged head, together with its
dependent CI checks. [Original failed
job](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42279773036/job/128106195975).
No assertion or timeout was changed.

- The independent required Runner support failure reproduced five
`IMAGE_ONLY: unbound variable` errors. #19602 repaired its fixture
inputs and merged as `4d554f08218b04df49ec0f2a0d5c5dfdfaf65660`. This
branch normally merges that master with no conflicts or force push. The
current host-preparation log verifier from #19580 remains intact.
- Final integrated head `ffc9e8d9516343a9823b4b80b5fcfccc548844ba`:
17/17 focused recovery cases pass (12.71s), all nine workflow-target
cases pass through the official Runner Vitest config (1.10s), and all
seven current server typecheck layers pass. Worktree preflight rebuilt
current Runner dependencies and reused the Cargo seed; it completed in
61.3s with Rust debug binaries skipped.
- Prior integrated head `ffc9e8d9516343a9823b4b80b5fcfccc548844ba`
finished with 54 successful checks. Its only code-check failure was a
global unhandled readiness rejection after 2,285 assertions passed in
the server8 shard, plus dependent verify. The real-child race is fixed
separately in #19624; it was not hidden by a rerun here.
- Final normal integration head
`550d1732b6960d6b349d03903f448fa1d71c17f6`: exact 17 paused-retry
lifecycle regressions pass (71.06s), all nine official workflow target
cases pass (2.43s), all seven server typecheck layers pass, and
module/whitespace checks pass. Required preflight completed in 45.641s.
Current preparation-log guards from #19580 remain intact. The diff
against master contains only the original three owner/test/doc files.
- Prior head 550d had two inherited model-default assertion failures
plus a retained-cleanup backlog 15s timeout. The exact unchanged cleanup
case passes locally (41.91s total including DB/hooks); no timer or
assertion was weakened and no old CI job was rerun. The model fixture
repair was independently merged in #19610 at
8621bcf53e.
- Current normal integration head
`14103750d5f26d7f476f937e981e3e45c94054ab`: 17/17 exact lifecycle cases
pass (75.33s), all 6 model normalization cases pass (6.58s), all seven
server typecheck layers and source checks pass. Required preflight
completed in 13.89s. No source guards or timeouts changed during this
integration.
- Current-head CI and Greptile are green. Earlier checks do not qualify
this final integration head.

- Current-head Greptile: 5/5 at
`14103750d5f26d7f476f937e981e3e45c94054ab`, with all review threads
resolved. Required CI passed: 56 successful checks, three intentional
skips, one neutral review status. The separate optional Paperclip review
job remains queued; no open findings.

## Risks

This adds a bounded indexed evidence query for a narrow historical
cancellation shape. Missing or contradictory evidence keeps work held.
It does not replay a provider turn or change current pause, budget,
approval, Stop, or workspace authority.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with repository analysis, code editing, and
tool execution. The exact serving snapshot and context-window size are
not exposed in this session.
