## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work. > - When a native run finishes but its files cannot be saved, the task stays blocked behind a retained-file recovery hold. > - The server records that hold as blocked and retryable, and the task notice tells the user to "Retry to try again". > - The task page hides its own Retry for these holds and relies on the retained-file recovery panel instead. > - That panel only binds the recovery record when a read-only source inspection returns `verified`. > - Inspection can return `blocked` for normal reasons: a sandbox that predates ownership receipts (state saved by an older release), or a workspace that moved on after its files were recovered. > - Then neither surface offers an action, and "Check file recovery status" always answers "File recovery changed. Refresh the task", also after a reload. > - This pull request binds the record by its own identity, uses inspection only to gate the physical file-recovery request, and keeps the task Retry visible whenever the panel has no control of its own. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description Refs #18848 (the change that added the retained-file recovery panel and hid the generic Retry for these holds). **What happened?** A blocked task with an active `native_workspace_sync_out_retry_exhausted` hold showed "The saved files need recovery before work can continue", "The recorded source is unavailable or has changed", and "Saving the agent's files failed after automatic retries. Retry to try again". It showed no Retry and no recover button. "Check file recovery status" always answered "File recovery changed. Refresh the task to inspect the current recovery", and a reload did not change it. The hold was saved by an earlier release: `systemRecovery` exhausted with `allocation_ownership_ambiguous` / `service_required`, and `workspaceRecovery` blocked with `retryable: true`. The source inspection endpoint returned `status: "blocked"` for it. A second task whose files were already recovered showed the same "need recovery" and "has changed" text, because its inspection reported a reference mismatch after recovery. **Expected behavior** A retryable hold always shows a working Retry or recover control. A notice that says "Retry" has a Retry button. Status checks never loop on "changed, refresh". Recovered files show as recovered. When the source cannot be verified, the page names the reason and who must inspect it. **Steps to reproduce** 1. Use an active retained-export hold whose `workspaceRecovery` is blocked and retryable, and whose `systemRecovery` is exhausted. 2. Make the source inspection (`GET /api/issues/:id/recovery-actions?inspectSourceRunId=…&inspectSourceActionId=…`) return `status: "blocked"`. 3. Open the task as a board operator. 4. Before this change, the page shows no Retry and no recover button. "Check file recovery status" reports "File recovery changed. Refresh the task". **Paperclip version or commit** Observed on build `8812c19`. The regressions fail on master `0f5ce5050e` before the production edits. ## What Changed - `WorkspaceExportRecovery`: bind the recovery record by action, run and schema identity, not by inspection status. Inspection status now gates only the physical "Recover saved files" request (and the request re-checks it before POST). - `WorkspaceExportRecovery`: report through `onRecoveryControlChange` whether the panel offers its own control. It reports `true` only while the source is loading or verified and the files are not yet recovered, or while it shows the previous-server stop confirmation. - `IssueDetail`: hide the task Retry for retained-export holds only while the panel reports that it owns the control. Otherwise the existing task Retry (`POST /issues/:id/retry`) shows. The server renews a bounded recovery generation and re-verifies the source. - Show recovered files as recovered even when inspection no longer matches after recovery. - Name an unverifiable source in plain words (with the code for other reasons). State that Paperclip does not apply files it can't verify. - Recovery text never asks a person to inspect a sandbox or environment, and never names an owner or administrator as the one who must act. This covers the retained-file panel, the run source inspector, the copyback wait, and the native cleanup quarantine message. The execution blocker and the recovery action read model describe a spent recovery budget from its current state, so text saved by older releases ("If Retry keeps failing, inspect the run and its environment") is not shown. - Task Retry uses the existing `createUuid()` helper, so it works on plain-HTTP previews without `crypto.randomUUID`. An accepted Retry also refreshes the inspected file-recovery state. After a failed accepted request, the unverified-source reason stays visible; it hides only while recovery runs. - When the recovery record was replaced, "Check file recovery status" reloads the task detail instead of telling the user to refresh. - Tests: component regressions for an old-release hold, a recovered hold with a mismatched source, verified ownership, and a replaced record. A page regression proves Retry is shown and calls `retryTask` for unverified and stale sources. A server safety test proves that Retry for the old-release hold shape is accepted, opens one new bounded generation, queues file recovery again, keeps the hold active, and is idempotent. ## Verification - RED (master `0f5ce5050e` production files, new tests): 5 component tests fail. The failure output shows the exact staging text: "Check file recovery status", "File recovery changed. Refresh the task to inspect the current recovery.", "The recorded source is unavailable or has changed." 2 page tests (unverified and stale) fail with `expected [ 'Check file recovery status', … ] to include 'Retry'`. - GREEN: `cd ui && npx vitest run src/components/WorkspaceExportRecovery.control.test.tsx src/components/WorkspaceExportRecovery.test.tsx src/components/RunWorkspaceRecoverySurface.test.tsx src/components/ExecutionBlockerNotice.test.tsx src/pages/IssueDetail.test.tsx` passes 320 tests. - Server: `cd server && npx vitest run src/services/task-retry.test.ts` passes 81 tests, including the new old-release safety case. This is safety evidence, not a red: the server path was already correct, and the defect was in the UI. - Full UI suite: 11564 pass. 4 tests in `IssuesList.test.tsx` and `CompanyEnvironments.test.tsx` failed under full-suite load and pass in isolation (106/106). They are unrelated to this change. - `pnpm check:token-gates` is clean. `node scripts/run-tsc.mjs -p ui/tsconfig.json --noEmit` reports no errors in the touched files. The remaining errors are local artifacts that were not built (plugin SDK UI entry, generated Storybook catalog). - Staging was read only (GET requests). The inspect request did not loop in a fresh tab: two calls in 30 seconds. Most of the tab's request volume is periodic company issue-list refetches, which this change does not touch. ## Risks - Low risk. This is a UI-only behavior change. Server authorization, source verification, stop receipts, and the bounded recovery policy are unchanged and remain authoritative. - The task Retry is now visible for retained-export holds whose source does not verify. Retry renews one recovery generation. The worker re-runs the same source-identity checks, so Retry cannot bypass an ownership refusal. If the refusal is permanent (for example an ambiguous sandbox allocation), the hold returns to exhausted and the page names the reason. An automatic fallback for such sources is follow-up work. - Wording: a parametrized UI test renders every recovery state and asserts that no administrator, owner, or "inspect the environment" copy appears. A server test proves that a stored old-release message is replaced by state-derived text. Both failed before the change. - Previous-release story: the old-release hold shape (board-owned, `systemRecovery` revision 5 exhausted with `service_required`, `workspaceRecovery` blocked and retryable) is covered by component, page, and server tests. No persisted state shape changes. > For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR.
