## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work. > - A native run saves its accepted result before it copies workspace changes back. > - A restart can leave that copyback under an unverified physical owner. > - The generic orphan reaper can mistake the exited provider for lost work and release the source lease. > - Recovery must preserve the accepted result and let the existing finalizer settle its remaining work. > - This pull request checks that authority at the conditional process-loss write and preserves the matching recovery hold. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description Related: #15475 added bounded process-loss evidence. The earlier #9687 addresses dead-run finalize barriers with synthetic receipts. This change preserves an existing accepted native result and requires real workspace settlement. **What happened?** After a server restart, the native finalizer required operator verification of unfinished copyback. The generic orphan reaper then marked the run `process_lost` and released its source lease. A new execution path also made the recovery reconciler clear the copyback hold before physical ownership was verified. **Expected behavior** An accepted result bound to the same company, issue, and run keeps its unfinished workspace suffix under native finalization. The generic reaper must not discard its source. The existing finalizer must still complete the work, apply its bounded failure policy, or require operator verification. **Steps to reproduce** 1. Accept a native result and leave its coordinator in `workspace_finalizing`. 2. Stop the controller before copyback completes, leaving its physical owner receipt. 3. Start recovery, then run the generic orphan and lease cleanup sweeps. 4. Before this change, the run can fail with `process_lost` despite its accepted result and explicit copyback hold. **Paperclip version or commit** Reproduced against `011e5669`; the same recovery code remains at base `1602512820`. **Deployment mode** A hosted server with PostgreSQL and native runner execution. The tests use only isolated local PostgreSQL and synthetic fixtures. ## What Changed - Check the exact accepted result and `workspace_finalizing` coordinator before generic process-loss cleanup. - Repeat the check in the conditional status write. Compare the heartbeat tuple version to reject a result publisher that commits while the update waits on its row lock. - Preserve nonterminal copyback holds when another execution path appears. Resolve only the matching run's hold after verified finalization commits. - Add fourteen real PostgreSQL service regressions and document the recovery boundary. ## Verification - `pnpm -r typecheck` passed. - `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts -t 'native finalization'`: 14 passed. The test filter excluded 383 existing tests. - Tests cover startup, repeated reaper and cleanup sweeps, malformed and foreign owners, an expired old controller, exact database bindings, legacy and unsupported states, verified settlement, and unchanged terminal-task dispositions. - The concurrent publisher test uses the real accepted-result transaction and proves the reaper update is blocked by its row lock before the publisher commits. - The local `pnpm test:run` aggregate was stopped after setup timeouts in the chat and tool-access files and a damaged-epoch Runner test failure. It is not a full local pass. - The chat file passed all 1,145 tests when run alone. The tool-access file then passed 419 of 420; one case returned `socket hang up`. That single case passed on its isolated rerun. The cause of the socket failure is not established here. - The damaged-epoch Runner case still fails locally at its existing completion assertion. The same assertion failed on untouched baseline `556daf9a` before this patch; its test and Runner sources are unchanged. Exact-head CI passes this coverage. No workaround for that local fixture is included. - `pnpm build` passed. - Independent review approved this exact commit. All 14 new PostgreSQL regressions and 181 existing recovery/finalizer cases passed. One existing suite needed an isolated rerun after a setup timeout. - Independent negative controls reproduced the original bug. Removing only the tuple-version guard reproduced the blocked-row race. Removing only the hold exclusion cleared the safety hold too early. Restoring this patch passed all three checks. - GitHub CI passed all 53 applicable checks. The two Storybook jobs were skipped as expected. Greptile scored this commit 5/5 with no unresolved review threads. - Local runtime: Node 25.6.1. GitHub CI supplies the repository's Node 24 checks. - `git diff --check`, Gitleaks, and a local diff scan for secrets and private data passed. ## Risks - PostgreSQL tuple versions are used only as an optimistic fence for `process_lost`. Both accepted-result publishers lock and update that heartbeat in their result transaction. - The guard requires the bound accepted result and the durable coordinator state. A heartbeat phase or arbitrary owner JSON alone cannot suppress ordinary process loss. - Existing finalizer retries, ownership verification, explicit cancellation, and terminal-task dispositions remain unchanged. A physical owner can still require operator verification. - This change does not replay provider work or restore a source already destroyed by an older controller. No migration or runtime operation is included. ## Model Used OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, repository tools, code execution, and independent agent review.
