## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work. > - Ephemeral server enrollment must preserve existing task files. > - Archived task directories can depend on encrypted retention checkpoints. > - A missing object blocks migration even when its authenticated contents were exactly empty. > - Metadata counters alone cannot prove that no saved files existed. > - This change verifies the exact candidate against the original encrypted key envelope before normal migration publication. > - The benefit is lossless migration of this bounded case without resetting task history or weakening ordinary restore. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description **What happened?** Migration stops at an archived empty directory when its retained encrypted object is missing. The original encrypted key envelope still authenticates the payload hash, byte length, company, workspace, checkpoint ID, and generation. **Expected behavior** Administrative migration can reconstruct those exact original bytes when storage confirms absence and every authenticated check passes. It must keep missing nonempty, expired, corrupt, or ambiguous sources blocked. **Steps to reproduce** 1. Capture and encrypt an empty task directory. 2. Retain its reference and encrypted key envelope. 3. Remove the old directory and storage object. 4. Run the normal remote workspace migration. **Paperclip version or commit** The regression fails before this change at `205ffcb606`. Related preservation work is in #19396, #19402, and #19409. No duplicate open fix was found. **Deployment mode** Administrative migration to external workspace storage. Tests use real encryption, real filesystem storage, and disposable PostgreSQL. ## What Changed - Let the encryption owner verify a candidate against the existing scoped encrypted key envelope. Normal ciphertext validation keeps its previous order and checks. - Share the task-directory encoder with an exact empty payload constructor. - Add a default-off loader option for confirmed missing empty checkpoints. Only the administrative migration caller enables it. - Keep the original checkpoint reference and object unchanged. Publish the recovered bytes through the existing snapshot and source-fence owners. - Reject forged counters, wrong identities, missing nonempty data, present corruption, unreadable present objects, unknown absence, and expiry. ## Verification - Final affected run: all 238 tests pass across five crypto, snapshot, retention, and migration suites. Full repository typecheck and build pass; server typecheck and full build also pass after the cancellation repair. - RED then GREEN: exact missing-empty recovery and cancellation of a stalled HEAD through the real storage-service boundary. Cancellation retains the caller's original abort reason. - Disposable PostgreSQL migration publishes a cold-restorable empty archive. Archived status, task status, task binding, original reference, and the absent original source stay unchanged. Replay keeps one canonical snapshot. - Negative cases reject forged empty counters, an authenticated directory or file, every foreign identity field, expiry, present corruption, unreadable present objects, unknown absence, and missing nonempty data. Ordinary restore keeps its previous failure behavior. - Initial verification retained one new fixture-path failure after 145 passes, and a typecheck rejected the fixture's widened schema literal. Correct the fixture to use the returned staging path and its explicit reference type. The final complete affected run passes. - The new HEAD request runs only after a failed read with the administrative option enabled. It uses the existing cancellation contract and adds no polling or background work. - Final-head full CI passes; review is 5/5 with no open findings. This PR does not claim deployed enrollment or a live migration result. ## Risks Recovery requires the original valid encrypted key envelope and an exact format match. A format change or unavailable key continues to block migration. Existing ciphertext hash, size, authentication, and ordinary restore behavior remain enforced. This change has no schema, provider-session, API, or UI contract changes. ## Model Used OpenAI GPT-6 in Codex, with code editing, tool use, and test execution. The exact runtime model identifier and context-window size are not exposed in this session. ## 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 have searched GitHub for duplicate or related PRs and linked them above - [x] I have either (a) linked existing issues with `Fixes: #` / `Closes #` OR (b) described the issue in-PR following the relevant issue template - [x] I have not referenced internal/instance-local Paperclip issues or links (only public GitHub references) - [x] My branch name describes the change and contains no internal Paperclip ticket id or instance-derived details - [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 - [x] All Paperclip CI gates are green - [x] Greptile is 5/5 with no open P2s, recommendations, or follow-ups - [x] I will address all Greptile and reviewer comments before requesting merge
