## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work > - The control plane starts each Codex turn through runnerd and waits for the turn's start event (`#startTurnWork` in `runnerd-codex-transport.ts`) > - In restart storm 5, runnerd failed an accepted continuation turn before it started (`turn_binding_mismatch`, fixed at its source in #19718) > - The transport held that terminal for the pending start and waited the full 30 s bound > - It then reported "runnerd did not report the provider turn identity", which hid the real cause > - This pull request makes a pending start fail at once with the runner's own terminal failure > - The benefit is a faster failure that names its real cause, so recovery and operators act on the correct fact ## Linked Issues or Issue Description Refs #19718, #19699, #19608 **What happened?** Restart storm 5 (seed 7106), task t01 (Codex). Runnerd accepted the restart continuation turn. About 0.5 s later it committed a `harness.diagnostic`, a non-recoverable `turn.failed` (`turn_binding_mismatch`) and a failed `run.terminal`. The transport's event pump holds a turn terminal while a turn start is pending, so the start loop never saw it. The start waited 30 s, the #19608 adoption check found no active turn, and the run failed with "runnerd did not report the provider turn identity". **Expected behavior** When runnerd reports a final failure of the pending turn (a non-recoverable `turn.failed` or a failed `run.terminal`) before the turn starts, the start fails at once. The error names the runner's code and message. **Steps to reproduce** 1. Use fake Codex with `--foreign-usage-before-turn-started --turn-started-delay-ms 20000`. 2. Start a turn through the runnerd Codex transport. 3. Before this change, `turn/start` rejects after the full bound with "runnerd did not report the provider turn identity". ## What Changed - `runnerd-codex-transport.ts`: new `runnerdPendingTurnStartFailure()`. It finds a non-recoverable `turn.failed` or a failed `run.terminal` among the terminals held for the pending start and the committed events after the cursor. - `#startTurnWork` checks it while it waits for `turn/started`, before the adoption snapshot, and in the post-adoption wait. It throws `runnerd failed the provider turn before it started: <code>: <message>`. - The check runs only when the turn has not started. A recoverable terminal does not trigger it. The #19608 late-start adoption path is unchanged. - Fake Codex: new `--foreign-usage-before-turn-started` flag. It sends usage for a turn the runner does not own right after it accepts a turn. This makes runnerd fail the turn with `turn_binding_mismatch` before it starts. - New test in `runnerd-codex-transport-deadlines.test.ts` with real runnerd and fake Codex. ## Verification - Red before the fix: `npx vitest run src/live/runnerd-codex-transport-deadlines.test.ts` → the new test failed after 16.4 s with "runnerd did not report the provider turn identity". - Green after the fix: the start rejects in under 5 s with `turn_binding_mismatch`, and fake Codex saw exactly one `turn/start`. - The #19608 tests ("adopts a durably accepted turn whose start notification outlives the turn-start bound" and "does not adopt an accepted turn the runner no longer reports active") still pass. - `npx vitest run src/live/runnerd-codex-transport`: 9 files, 399 tests pass. - `pnpm run typecheck` in `packages/paperclip-runner` passes. `cargo test --bin fake-codex-app-server` passes. `cargo fmt` is clean. - `pnpm verify` exits 2 (broad input: the fake Codex binary). Required CI supplies the broad coverage. ## Risks - Low risk. The new failure fires only when runnerd itself already reported a final failure and no turn start was observed. In that state the start could not succeed, and before this change it failed after the bound anyway. - If a provider sends a non-recoverable terminal before its own turn start for a turn that later starts, the start now fails earlier. Codex sends `turn/started` before its terminal, and runnerd's terminal for a protocol failure is final, so I do not expect this. ## Model Used - Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, used through Claude Code with tool use (shell, file editing).
