## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work. > - Agent files and installed skills need durable storage before a legacy volume can be removed. > - Their maintenance commands currently require every writer to stop. > - Normal file edits already use agent row locks and skill publication locks. > - Shared agent heads also remain durable while their agents run. > - This pull request uses those owners to copy settled files online and keeps unresolved recovery states intact. > - The benefit is useful migration progress while unrelated work continues. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description Related: #19642. **What happened?** Agent-file adoption and skill installation conversion reject apply requests without a global stopped-writer acknowledgement. Agent-file maintenance also reports an active agent as blocked when its shared head is already durable. Live enrollment omits the existing unresolved-local-instruction-copy guard. **Expected behavior** Copy settled agent files and skill installations under their existing writer locks. Keep old skill directories, versions, and inline bytes. Keep unresolved local copies and unknown historical pin obligations visible to their owners. **Steps to reproduce** Run agent-file maintenance with `--apply` on the original host with durable storage enabled. A managed agent without active execution is rejected without `--writers-stopped`. The same gate rejects skill installation conversion. An agent that already has a shared head is also reported as blocked while it runs. ## What Changed - Adopt settled agent files under the existing agent row lock. Recognize an existing shared head before checking active execution, without rewriting its projection. - Reuse the local working-copy preservation predicate for first adoption and live enrollment. Keep its original public export. - Prepare skill uploads outside the shared run-pinning lock. Verify the exact local tree and source identity under the cache, slug, and row publication locks. Publish catalog origin history in that same transaction. - Retain old skill directories, versions, and inline bytes. Keep pin retention and volume-removal guards unchanged. - Add PostgreSQL and filesystem coverage for active durable heads, unresolved copies, concurrent source edits, and linked files. Update the maintenance docs. ## Verification - Agent-file durability and live enrollment suites: 16 tests passed with real PostgreSQL and filesystem fixtures. - Managed skill suite: 22 tests passed. Seven final controls also passed: upload-time file edits, source relocation, unknown historical pins, hard-linked files, pinning during a blocked upload, and both rejected/successful catalog-origin publication. - Server source typecheck and focused changed-test typecheck passed. - Module boundaries, diff whitespace, and added-line credential/internal-reference scans passed. - Baseline production rejected both online paths at their stopped-writer guards. Review regressions also reproduced a busy pinning lock during upload and extra catalog history after rejection; their fixes passed real PostgreSQL controls. All expected red results are preserved. - One final-control attempt failed the existing 30-second fixture startup hook before executing tests. A sequential retry passed all four controls without changing guards or timeouts; the failed attempt remains recorded. - Exact head `001a5beed9d0e55c7c178906fbad1f9a47f87788`: [required CI passed](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42309446426), including typecheck, build, tests, Runner and end-to-end gates. Greptile completed successfully at 5/5 with zero unresolved review threads; GitHub reports mergeable/clean. ## Risks Changed or unsafe sources remain blocked. Storage failures keep the original files and recovery state. This conversion does not settle retained provider copies or historical execution. Unknown pin obligations still block retention and volume removal; this PR alone does not qualify removal of the original volume. ## Model Used OpenAI GPT-6 (Codex). The runtime did not expose a more specific backend model ID or context-window size. Used reasoning, code editing, and tool execution. ## 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 - [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 --------- Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
