## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work. > - The chat feature catalog runs real native agents to prove the chat and task-steering promises. > - Two steering cases failed in setup before they could measure the product. > - `steering.approval-delivery` waited for a worker run to stay running while its question was pending. The product parks a native turn as soon as a durable question is saved, so that state never occurs. > - `steering.steer-active` waited for the queue to say steering is "available". The OpenCode harness reports that it cannot steer, so the queue says "unsupported". > - This pull request gates each case on the real product state and grades the behavior that state promises. > - The benefit is that both cases now measure their user promise on the evaluated profile, without faked runs or faked steering. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description **What happened** Both cases failed during setup on `runner-opencode`. `steering.approval-delivery` stopped with "The actual question fixture did not reach its running pending-input boundary": the worker's `request_human_input` call parked its turn (run succeeded, `reportedWorkDisposition: yielded`, continuation `response_wake` for the question). `steering.steer-active` timed out waiting for `steeringDisposition: "available"`; the OpenCode driver declares `steering: false`, so the queue reports `"unsupported"` and the page shows Interrupt instead of Steer. **Expected behavior** `steering.approval-delivery` should treat the saved yield and the pending question as the pending-input state, queue ordinary comments and the bound answer behind a real active worker turn, and prove one continuation receives the answer. `steering.steer-active` should grade same-turn steering when the harness can steer, and grade the honest fallback when it cannot: the message stays visibly queued, nothing is recorded as steered, and one normal turn consumes it. **Steps to reproduce** 1. Dispatch `chat-features.runner-opencode.local.steering.approval-delivery` on master. 2. See the setup stop after the worker run succeeds with a yielded result. 3. Dispatch `chat-features.runner-opencode.local.steering.steer-active` on master. 4. See setup time out while `GET /api/issues/:id/queued-comments` reports `steeringDisposition: "unsupported"`. ## What Changed - `runtime-approval-queue.ts`: gate the question on the parked turn (`pendingInputYield`: succeeded, yielded, `response_wake` keyed to the question). An ordinary human message then wakes a real second Morgan turn that waits at the task gate. Ordinary comments and the bound answer queue behind that turn. The run count goes from 3 to 4. - `runtime-approval-queue.ts`: remove the reply keyword checks (`acornNamingDirection` and the "I have answered" regex). Grade exactly one saved answer path instead: the human response control, or an attributed canonical response. - `runtime-active-steering.ts`: accept either definitive capability. Unsupported branch: no enabled Steer control, a visible Interrupt control, a steer attempt with the person's session refused with `409 steering_unsupported`, no `issue.queued_comment_steered` activity, the exact message still queued, and one continuation that consumes it and registers a rendered blue `website.html`. - `runtime-active-steering.ts`: remove the reply keyword checks and the `/blue/` match on the delivery document. The rendered page proves the color. - Update calibration tests in both directions, the workspace setup test, and the descriptors (`oracleVersion` bumps, `expectedRunCount` 4 for approval-delivery). The scenario YAML is unchanged. ## Verification - `pnpm exec vitest run --config tests/runner-e2e/vitest.config.ts tests/runner-e2e/chat-catalog-domains/runtime-active-steering.test.ts tests/runner-e2e/chat-catalog-domains/runtime-approval-queue.test.ts tests/runner-e2e/chat-catalog-domains/runtime-approval-workspace.test.ts tests/runner-e2e/chat-catalog-contract.test.ts tests/runner-e2e/chat-catalog-consistency.test.ts`: 87 passed. - `npx tsc --noEmit -p tests/runner-e2e`: no errors in the changed files. - `node tests/runner-e2e/source-sdk-public-inputs.mjs <HEAD> --check`: unchanged. - The live proof is a paid run of `chat-features.runner-opencode.local.steering.approval-delivery` and `chat-features.runner-opencode.local.steering.steer-active`. ## Risks - approval-delivery now depends on a human message waking the worker while its question is pending. The product does this (`supersedeOnUserComment: false` keeps the card open, and comments wake the assignee unless the task is done or cancelled). If the worker does not run the gate on that turn, setup fails with a named label. - steer-active on OpenCode now measures the honest unsupported fallback, not same-turn delivery. A steering-capable profile still runs the same-turn branch. - Low risk to the product: only eval code changes. ## Model Used - Anthropic Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), tool use and code execution in Claude Code. ## 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 #` / `Refs #` 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 `#NNN` / `github.com/paperclipai/paperclip` URLs) - [x] My branch name describes the change (e.g. `docs/...`, `fix/...`) 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 - [ ] All Paperclip CI gates are green - [ ] Greptile is 5/5 with no open P2s, recommendations, or follow-ups - [x] I will address all Greptile and reviewer comments before requesting merge 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
