## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work > - A native run syncs its workspace into a local folder. A retention job deletes old folders, but never one whose run's adapter process may still write it > - That job had its own liveness check. It probed the recorded PID in this PID space, whatever host recorded it, and compared process start times to the millisecond > - So a dead PID here could delete the synced files of a process still running on another host. And a live process whose recorded start differed by under a second (`ps lstart` has 1 s precision) counted as a recycled PID, so its folder could be deleted too > - The durable ownership plan proves owners by identity with one shared prover. The lost-process reapers already use it for exactly this run identity (#20004) > - This pull request makes retention use that prover, so anything but a proof the process is gone keeps the folder > - The benefit is that preserved files are no longer deleted on a wrong-host or sub-second-skew judgment ## Linked Issues or Issue Description Refs #19831 (plan, Phase 2), #19838 (inventory: "One fact, many proofs"). Phase 2's native agent flagged `runProcessMayBeLive` in `native-workspace-sync-retention.ts` as still bespoke after #19997. **What happened?** `runProcessMayBeLive` ignored `process_host_hash` and required an exact start-time match. **Expected behavior** The same verdict as the lost-process reapers (`proveRunProcessGone`): - the PID is judged only in its recorded PID space; - rows saved before `process_host_hash` keep the one-release local fallback on single-host servers; - a reused PID needs a definitely later start; - EPERM is alive. ## What Changed - `native-workspace-sync-retention.ts`: `runProcessMayBeLive` calls `proveRunProcessGone` (reading `process_host_hash`). The injectable retention probe is adapted to the shared probe for tests. Remote-only runs keep their existing shortcut. ## Verification - `native-workspace-sync-retention.test.ts`: 59 pass. Two new tests fail on `master` and pass here: - a run recorded in another PID space is kept, even if that PID is dead here; - a live PID whose start time is within the 1 s precision is kept. The new "deletes a terminal run whose process, recorded in this PID space, has exited" and all existing retention cases (recycled PID, dead process, destroyed sandbox, live group) pass. - The server package typecheck passes. ## Risks - Folders of runs recorded on another host are now kept until their other owners settle, rather than deleted on a local PID probe. That is the safe direction; the folders are bounded by the existing retention limits. ## Model Used - Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, with 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>
