## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work; issues get commented on by both humans and agents, and the assignee is woken to act on new comments. > - #10050 added human-attributed issue comments for chat gateway plugins, with the host waking the issue's assignee the same way a board user's comment does. > - Greptile's review on #10050 flagged that the wakeup guard in `plugin-host-services.ts` decides whether to wake the assignee using the issue snapshot fetched *before* the comment was inserted. > - If another request closes, cancels, unassigns, or reassigns the issue in the window between that fetch and the wakeup call, the guard still acts on the stale snapshot — it can wake an agent for a now-terminal issue, or wake the old assignee instead of the new one. > - The PR discussion noted the HTTP add-comment route (`routes/issues.ts`) has the identical pattern outside its reopen/auto-approval branches, and deferred a fix to a follow-up covering both call sites — this PR is that follow-up. > - The fix re-fetches the issue immediately before the wake decision in both places, so the decision reflects the latest committed state instead of a pre-insert snapshot. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description Refs #10050 **Problem or motivation** Both the plugin-comment wakeup guard (`plugin-host-services.ts`) and the HTTP add-comment route's wakeup guard (`routes/issues.ts`, outside its reopen/auto-approval branches) decide whether to wake the issue's assignee using the issue state fetched before the comment was inserted. A concurrent close/unassign/reassign landing in that window is invisible to the guard, so it can enqueue a wakeup for a stale assignee or an issue that is no longer open. **Proposed solution** Re-fetch the issue immediately before the wake decision in both call sites, and base the assignee/status checks on that fresh read instead of the earlier snapshot. This shrinks the race window to essentially nothing (the fetch happens right before the fire-and-forget wakeup call), and any residual window is already covered by the heartbeat/checkout machinery re-validating issue status and assignee ownership when a woken run actually starts. **Alternatives considered** Wrap the whole comment-insert + wake-decision sequence in a single serializable transaction with row locking (rejected for this change — much larger blast radius across two already-complex handlers for a wakeup that is explicitly best-effort; the woken run's own re-validation already makes a stale wake degrade to a no-op rather than incorrect work). Leaving the plugin path fixed but not the HTTP route (rejected — that was the exact gap the original PR discussion flagged as needing a follow-up covering both call sites). **Roadmap alignment** Bug fix / hardening follow-up to #10050; no change to planned core roadmap items. ## What Changed - `server/src/services/plugin-host-services.ts`: `issues.createComment`'s assignee-wakeup guard now re-fetches the issue after the comment is inserted and bases the assignee/status checks on that fresh read, instead of the snapshot fetched before the insert. - `server/src/routes/issues.ts`: the `POST /issues/:id/comments` route's wakeup guard (outside the reopen/auto-approval branches, which already use post-mutation state) now does the same re-fetch before deciding whether — and whom — to wake. - Adds regression coverage for both: - `server/src/__tests__/plugin-orchestration-apis.test.ts`: a new embedded-Postgres test holds a row lock on the issue to deterministically force the race (comment-insert's internal update blocks until a concurrent transaction commits a cancellation), then asserts no wakeup is enqueued. - `server/src/__tests__/issue-comment-reopen-routes.test.ts`: two new mocked-service tests assert the route skips the wakeup when the fresh re-fetch shows the issue cancelled, and wakes the freshly reassigned agent (not the pre-insert snapshot's assignee) when the fresh re-fetch shows a different assignee. ## Verification - `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — clean. - `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run src/__tests__/plugin-orchestration-apis.test.ts` — 13/13 (1 new). - `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run src/__tests__/issue-comment-reopen-routes.test.ts` — 74/74 (2 new). - `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-sdk exec vitest run tests/host-client-factory.test.ts` — 14/14. - Broader sweep of 38 `routes/issues.ts`-adjacent test files (447 tests) — all passing, confirming the added re-fetch doesn't change behavior for any existing reopen/auto-approval/interrupt/scheduled-retry/dependency-wake scenario. ## Risks Low risk. Both changes are additive guards around an existing best-effort, fire-and-forget wakeup (failures already logged, not thrown) — no change to the comment-write path itself, response shape, or status codes. The HTTP route's fix only touches the plain (non-reopen, non-auto-approval) wake-decision path; the reopen and auto-approval branches already used post-mutation state for the reasons documented inline and are unchanged. Adds one extra `SELECT` per comment on each call site, negligible relative to the existing query volume in both handlers. ## Model Used Claude Sonnet 5 (`claude-sonnet-5`), extended thinking, tool use enabled, via Claude Code. ## 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 searched the GitHub PR list (open and recently closed) for similar PRs; found no duplicate — this is a direct follow-up to the review discussion on #10050 - [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 - [x] My branch name describes the change and contains no internal ticket id - [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 - [ ] All Paperclip CI gates are green - [ ] 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: anicca <annica@Michaels-Mac-Studio.local> Co-authored-by: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
