## Thinking Path > - Paperclip manages work performed by AI agents. > - A recovered run must retain its saved files when the user presses Retry. > - A prior fresh attempt can leave the task bound to a different workspace. > - Remote preparation restored older recovery attachments but omitted the latest canonical snapshot. > - The provider also received recovery paths only for fresh workspace attempts. > - This change attaches the latest verified snapshot and includes its paths in the normal continuation context. > - The selected workspace, its files, and execution admission rules remain intact. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description Refs #19479, #19340. **What happened?** Retry could start with an older recovery attachment while the newest saved files stayed in another workspace. A real database regression restored an older one-line log and omitted a newer verified twelve-line log. Workspace selection alone did not reveal this failure. **Expected behavior** The provider can find and read the newest verified saved files. Recovery preserves the selected workspace and existing files. Missing or invalid recovery proof stops preparation. **Steps to reproduce** 1. Recover a failed run into a canonical remote snapshot. 2. Retain a later selected workspace with an older recovery attachment. 3. Press Retry and inspect the actual files and provider continuation paths after preparation. **Paperclip version or commit** Reproduced on master `5d25117ffad69a93fb92026950b9acd9cec08f69` with synthetic data and local PostgreSQL 17. ## What Changed - Follow the admitted run's committed recovery ancestry as well as retained source IDs. - Import canonical snapshots as separate `.paperclip-recovered/` attachments. Reuse snapshot decryption, hash checks, and manifest validation. - Check the current writer, company, task, immutable committed snapshot receipt, and source access before import. Read-only historical proof remains valid when a later writer advances the source; execution admission proof is unchanged. - Preserve older attachments and later selected workspace files. Repeated imports retain the same path and preserve user edits. - Include only physically present recovery paths in ordinary provider continuation context, using the caller’s storage backend. - Document the contract and add actual-file regressions and negative evidence cases. ## Verification - Before the fix, normal Retry admission and remote preparation restored only the older one-line log. The newest twelve-line archive was independently readable but absent from the prepared workspace. - With the original context projection, full heartbeat workspace preparation restored the files but omitted their paths from provider context. The regression failed on the missing newest path. - All 28 focused real-database cases pass together at the final local revision (46.32s). An earlier run had one asynchronous comment-admission poll failure before workspace preparation; its bounded rerun passed, and the fresh final 28-case run also passed without timeout or assertion changes. These cover actual Retry admission, remote preparation, provider prompt rendering, missing and corrupt evidence, company and task scope, duplicate imports, and later workspace files. - A controlled local child reads the path from provider context and reports twelve lines with the expected first and last timestamps. It does not run a loop or write the log. - `node node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run server/src/services/workspace-recovery.test.ts -t 'restores the newest recovered tick bytes|canonical recovery attachments|deduplicates immutable canonical sidecars|caller.s storage backend|restores ordinary same-workspace Retry|admits one HTTP Retry|keeps verified copyback|prepares the .* task workspace|continues recovered preparation' --fsModuleCache` runs against a dedicated local PostgreSQL 17 test database. - Cold save and restore on a new allocation preserves user edits inside an existing sidecar. Both review findings failed before their fixes. Incomplete prepared or missing-snapshot references now stop preparation. - An upgrade regression reproduced valid legacy and canonical sidecar paths disappearing on same-allocation reuse. The fix rebuilds expected proofs from existing scoped receipts and checks the live destination, preserving user edits without copying files on that live allocation. The same actual-file case also saves the parent workspace, reserves it for a child, preserves both legacy and canonical paths, and refuses a revoked receipt. For related-task sidecars, retention verifies the selected workspace’s succeeded migration history, exact source run/task entry, and matching workspace and source-run markers. When legacy migration markers are absent, a verified committed snapshot of the selected workspace can establish the same exact provenance. It is read once per preparation with the existing decryption, hash, and manifest validators; the live workspace is never modified. Task relationships alone grant no access; fresh import stays scoped to the current task. Missing or mismatched migration history fails closed. The retained-path checks live in the attachment owner; remote-workspaces.ts remains below 1,000 lines. - Further regressions failed before the fix for deleted-sidecar context, caller-supplied storage, and a legitimately advanced source workspace. The fixed cases preserve edited sidecars and ordinary same-workspace Retry restore. - Real non-root regressions reproduced EACCES when cleaning read-only directories in import staging and snapshot verification. Permission-aware cleanup fixes both while preserving live 0555 directory modes and contents. - The complete remote file-transport suite passes: 123 tests, including six real-command provenance cases for absent, matching, foreign, symlinked, and hard-linked proof. - Server typechecks include the CI layered configuration, after building the current Runner TypeScript package and SDK dependency closure. `cd server && node scripts/typecheck-layers.mjs` passes all seven layers at the latest head (exit 0). - macOS arm64, Node 26.4.0, repository-pinned pnpm 9.15.4. The initial embedded PostgreSQL startup timed out before tests; the passing runs use a disposable PostgreSQL 17 container with temporary storage. No timeout was increased. - Required CI passes at `42495c7a73f3716240987fa403af7511fc9df9b9`: 55 successful checks, three expected skips, no failures; [aggregate verification](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42282134772/job/128121560893) passes. Greptile is 5/5 with zero unresolved threads. The separate hosted Paperclip Review remains queued and is disclosed as pending. This change has not been deployed; its affected hosted workflow remains held. ## Risks Canonical snapshot import adds bounded storage and archive work during active preparation. Upgrading an older related-task sidecar without migration proof may verify the selected workspace archive once; its temporary copy is removed and later runs reuse the recorded provenance. Missing objects, invalid receipts, or archive corruption stop preparation. Imports use separate directories and do not replace selected workspace files. Existing admission, Stop, budget, pause, and provider replay rules still apply. ## Model Used OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with repository analysis, code editing, and tool execution.
