DottaandPaperclip 8373d78679 fix(recovery): register missing native preservation on Retry (#17800)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people manage agents and their saved work.
> - Native runs can leave a prepared remote workspace after a control
deadline.
> - The deadline repair in #17788 records preservation for future
failures.
> - Older failed runs can still have an active lease without a
preservation owner.
> - Retry correctly refuses another executor, but nothing can finish the
missing preservation.
> - This pull request registers the exact prepared source through the
existing recovery services when the user retries.
> - The bounded maintenance worker can then stop the provider and save
its files before normal admission continues.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A historical failed native run has a prepared workspace and an active
retained allocation. It has no workspace preservation record. Ordinary
Retry cannot prove that the old executor stopped and has no maintenance
owner to produce that proof.

**Expected behavior**

A deliberate Retry registers missing preservation for the exact unowned
source. Existing recovery proves termination and saves the files.
Existing admission then checks current user authority, effects, pause
and budget gates before one successor can enter the queue.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Persist a failed native run with a prepared workspace, an active
lease and a terminal, unowned finalization.
2. Omit the workspace preservation record, as an older deadline handler
did.
3. Call the normal task Retry route. Before this fix, preservation
remains absent and Retry cannot continue.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The regression fails on `46de15ff4b99bbee59c38f32f4f30b80ad5bbd24`,
which already includes #17788.

Related: Refs #17788 (future deadline failures), #17741 (committed
recovery wakes), #17733 (connected Retry authority). #17773 adds source
diagnostics and does not repair this missing registration.

## What Changed

- Use native workspace preservation inside the existing issue-locked
Retry transaction. A live finalization owner remains held.
- Adopt a valid unowned preservation obligation through the existing
bounded maintenance service. Bind it to the deliberate Retry intent
without resetting an active generation.
- Add real PostgreSQL regressions for exact, mismatched and owned
sources. Verify that registration cannot create a termination receipt or
a successor.
- Exercise the HTTP route, worker, real temporary file merge and queue
admission with the stop reply held. Duplicate requests admit one queued
turn after preservation.
- Extend connected GitHub and Telegram Retry coverage for missing
historical preservation. Document the contract and access boundaries.

## Verification

- Red: the new historical-state regression fails on the base commit
because `workspaceRestoreRecovery` remains absent. The mismatched and
owned negative controls pass.
- Green: the three focused historical-state cases pass with the fix
against isolated local PostgreSQL 17.
- The local HTTP journey restores saved files and retains newer host
edits. It admits no successor while the provider stop reply is held. It
admits one successor after verified preservation. The real GitHub and
Telegram admission paths wait behind that recovery.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, `node scripts/check-maps.mjs` and
`git diff --check` pass.
- Green: 152 tests across four relevant suites, including all connected
Retry safety cases. The six new cases pass again on final head
`b8900801a3181fa673ea45f1129f968bbb08d1fd`.
- Final-head GitHub checks: 55 successful, two intentionally skipped
Storybook checks, and one neutral Paperclip bot review. Greptile is 5/5
with no unresolved threads. The Paperclip bot stopped before finishing
and supplied no approval.
- The full local command imported an earlier fixture revision before its
assertions were corrected. It reported those two stale connected-fixture
assertions and later hit the host PostgreSQL semaphore limit again. It
was stopped after final-head CI completed. It is not counted as a full
local pass; the complete CI test lanes passed on the final head.
- The first local rerun hit the Mac PostgreSQL semaphore limit before
assertions. Verification moved to an isolated disposable PostgreSQL
container. Early assembled fixtures also exposed the existing
destruction-cleanup gate; the retained-workspace fixture now uses its
actual `keep_running` disposition. This fix does not weaken cleanup.

## Risks

- Retry now registers maintenance for historical native failures. Exact
descriptor, allocation and coordinator checks remain owned by the
existing preservation service. Physical recovery still requires its
existing exclusive owner and provider stop receipt. Registration alone
grants no execution authority.
- No database migration or provider protocol changes. No model, trust,
assignment, retry-budget or external identity changes.
- Local recovery uses real database, filesystem, HTTP, worker and
admission code. Only the provider lifecycle boundary is simulated. No
hosted allocation or live model turn has been verified for this new
change.
- The workspace recovery test file crosses 1,000 lines because this case
shares its real database, filesystem and assembled route fixture.
Keeping it there avoids duplicating that fixture or extracting unrelated
production behavior.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, repository tools and code
execution. The exact model identifier and context-window size are not
exposed in this session.

Recovery — agent access

Product map: Recovery.

Feature ID: recovery.

Native finalization deadline reconciliation records unfinished workspace preservation through the existing server-owned recovery path. It grants no additional agent API, provider-stop authority or permission to replay work.

Ordinary board Retry can reauthorize saved GitHub input for the same App after reconnect. It pins current runtime authority and preserves sender, repository, conversation and task checks. Pending input takes precedence over the older failed request and transfers once to the retry owner. This grants no new agent Retry API or stale webhook authority. Local PostgreSQL and HTTP-route regressions cover these transitions; hosted execution and delivery remain separate acceptance.

Source revision: 3bbc2104b65caf9f7763938a01260a5673e12f7a.

Review depth and executed proof are separate. The operation records enumerate the named behavior and access boundaries. Their evidence states describe the reviewed sources; run results and environment limits belong in the PR or verification artifacts. A listed API or source test does not establish a live authorized journey. Follow the map contract.

Source-reviewed operation contracts at 3bbc2104b65caf9f7763938a01260a5673e12f7a; proposed checks remain not-run. Preserve existing native/legacy ownership, retained-source and historical failed-evidence caveats. Automatic classification is server work, not an agent retry API. REST, native binding, operator, provider and WebSocket clients have distinct authority.

diagnosis

Capability ID: recovery/diagnosis.

Review: operation-reviewed.

Read causes, owner/attempt state and retained obligations without claiming successful recovery.

read-action-and-source

API: present — GET /api/issues/{id}/recovery-actions, GET /api/issues/{id}, GET /api/heartbeat-runs/{runId}.

Agent access: available — permitted agent REST/native call_api reads and CLI issue recovery-actions for that operation; actual native rollout/run binding required.

Policy: Same-company task read authorization, private-task/responsible-user scope and run privacy where run detail is used. Related diagnostics omit unauthorized resource details. Recovery action response includes active plus supported retained settled replay-blocked/native export holds, not unrestricted history. Read revalidation may retire stale action through system lifecycle; no reader participation/physical copyback.

Evidence: source-only — recovery routes, source actions; reviewed at 3bbc2104b65caf9f7763938a01260a5673e12f7a. No live provider proof.

Verification: not-run — Compare exact company/task/action/source run/owner/attempts/next-action across views and reload. Private/foreign read denied. Repeated Done/cancelled read retains exact unresolved physical owner hold.

Gaps: Recorded cause or successful GET isn't a running retry or restored files.

read-blocker-wake-and-subtree-diagnostics

API: present — GET /api/issues/{id}/diagnostics/blockers, /diagnostics/wakes, /diagnostics/subtree.

Agent access: available — permitted REST or native call_api; no dedicated CLI issue diagnostics command confirmed.

Policy: Same-company task read authorization, private-task/responsible-user scope and run privacy where run detail is used. Related diagnostics omit unauthorized resource details. Wake internal IDs depend on company-scope read; linked blocker/child/wake detail filtered. Diagnostics bounded/read-only.

Evidence: source-only — recovery routes, diagnostic discovery; reviewed at 3bbc2104b65caf9f7763938a01260a5673e12f7a. No live provider proof.

Verification: not-run — Read source diagnosis and compare visible blockers/wakes/subtree; unauthorized linked nodes omitted and no mutation/new attempt on repeat.

Gaps: CLI recovery-actions is supported; don't invent diagnostics subcommands. Coverage of every diagnostic inference remains separate.

inspect-run-recovery-host

API: present — GET /api/issues/{id}/recovery-actions; GET /api/issues/{id}; GET /api/heartbeat-runs/{runId}. The run UI host adds no separate recovery API.

Agent access: available — permitted agent REST/native call_api reads and CLI issue recovery-actions for that operation; actual native rollout/run binding required.

Policy: Same-company task read authorization, private-task/responsible-user scope and run privacy where run detail is used. Related diagnostics omit unauthorized resource details. Run workspace controls only for failed workspace_validation_failed run linked to source task with live workspace_validation action; other failures use source task.

Evidence: source-only — run host, recovery routes; reviewed at 3bbc2104b65caf9f7763938a01260a5673e12f7a. No live provider proof.

Verification: not-run — Exact eligible run and task agree; deny missing authority and hide stale/other-code controls; reload same persisted action.

Gaps: Component host test doesn't prove actual filesystem/provider repair.

bounded-continuation

Capability ID: recovery/bounded-continuation.

Ordinary task Retry uses POST /api/issues/{id}/retry. This is authenticated board task-mutation authority, not agent retry authority. The only request fields are a UUID idempotency key and observed source run (or null). It accepts no paths, stop attestations or client-selected strategy. The source-scoped exact-run and maintenance APIs retain their existing contracts. Connected-chat Retry reuses chat admission and its external identity. It can persist a wait only for the exact current system recovery generation. The chat owner resumes that same deferred receipt through normal admission after containment. The board intent and external principal remain separate authorities; current task, connection, pause and budget gates still apply. See the durable contract. Agent Chat also requires its current conversation owner and feature enablement at admission and locked dispatch; generic board mutation permission does not replace chat ownership. Local PostgreSQL and assembled browser qualification do not establish hosted agent access or recovery.

Review: operation-reviewed.

Supported restoration and automatic attempts retain source/owner/attempt authority.

observe-automatic-attempt

API: present — GET /api/issues/{id}/recovery-actions; GET /api/issues/{id}; GET /api/heartbeat-runs/{runId}. Automatic recovery has no generic agent-enqueue endpoint.

Agent access: available — permitted agent REST/native call_api reads and CLI issue recovery-actions for that operation; actual native rollout/run binding required.

Policy: Server-owned bounded continuation uses exact run/source identity, current owner/normal admission and durable episode limits. Stop, pause, budget, durable wait, owned lifecycle and existing execution remain gates; native exact completion proposal requires source/session/turn+termination proof, not just terminal row.

Evidence: source-only — source actions, legacy bounded decision, native recovery; reviewed at 3bbc2104b65caf9f7763938a01260a5673e12f7a. No live provider proof.

Verification: not-run — Observe attempts/retry timing and actual useful result; concurrent sweeps don't reset budget or duplicate turn. Operator Stop/chat idle must not trigger unwanted recovery.

Gaps: Native/Legacy and live provider takeover need separate proof; preserve existing failed callback evidence.

A review-path repair uses the existing canonical disposition-repair prompt section. The server fixes its instruction and one-attempt bound. This adds no API, monitor authority, credential access, or bypass for task and approval gates. A pending repair retains that section across connection-pool retries. Ordinary wakes without the typed repair marker ignore stale raw instruction text. Prompt controls cover fresh/resumed delivery and existing disposition repairs; hosted execution and durable monitor acceptance remain separate verification.

resolve-permitted-source-action

API: present — POST /api/issues/{id}/recovery-actions/resolve with exact actionId/outcome/sourceIssueStatus/resolutionNote.

Agent access: partial — eligible REST/CLI issue recovery:resolve; native call_api standard/skill_test. false_positive/cancelled and special reconciliation/workspace paths board-only.

Policy: Agent needs issue:mutate, authenticated run, low-trust exclusion and cross-issue allowance; source assignee/action owner or admitted active-checkout management override. Action ownership does not itself grant source-task mutation rights. Board and agent route policies remain distinct. Status changes separately require source owner/current execution participant/management grant or guarded exact-owner handback. blocked needs unresolved first-class blocker. Restored todo cannot bypass task/project/subtree/budget/review/approval/competing-run gates. Dedicated workspace causes reject generic retry.

Evidence: source-only — recovery routes, resolution schema; reviewed at 3bbc2104b65caf9f7763938a01260a5673e12f7a. No live provider proof.

Verification: not-run — Eligible owner resolves fresh action, reload recorded outcome/state and useful continuation. Peer/recovery-owner source completion, stale target, no blocker, pause/budget/review gates denied without side effects.

Gaps: CLI body lacks executionReconciliation/workspaceBaseRef; no generic agent permission for operator source repair.

replay-and-deliver-resolution

API: present — POST /api/issues/{id}/recovery-actions/resolve; GET /api/issues/{id}/recovery-actions. Server wake, reconciliation and chat outboxes own delivery.

Agent access: partial — permitted resolution followed by current eligible agent context; no arbitrary client self-wake.

Policy: Lock exact source/action. Same settled actionId returns retained receipt/no repeated log/wake. Todo wake only when required state/owner changed; reconciled executions use own durable delivery, restricted chat uses exact authorized failed request and real board user/current channel authority. No generic duplicate wake alongside durable owner.

Evidence: source-only — recovery routes, reconciliation outbox; reviewed at 3bbc2104b65caf9f7763938a01260a5673e12f7a. No live provider proof.

Verification: not-run — Repeat/concurrent same action and lost acknowledgment -> one recorded resolution/eligible continuation. Changed/new action/source never overwritten; restricted chat either retains exact provenance or stays unresolved.

Gaps: Receipt success isn't provider execution; actual retry may remain gated/pending.

source-action

Capability ID: recovery/source-action.

Review: operation-reviewed.

Source-scoped repair ownership and retained files survive task status changes.

read-and-follow-owner

API: present — GET /api/issues/{id}/recovery-actions; GET /api/issues/{id}; GET /api/heartbeat-runs/{runId}. Linked repair tasks retain their own access checks.

Agent access: available — permitted agent REST/native call_api reads and CLI issue recovery-actions for that operation; actual native rollout/run binding required.

Policy: Same-company task read authorization, private-task/responsible-user scope and run privacy where run detail is used. Related diagnostics omit unauthorized resource details. Original assignee, recovery owner and return owner remain distinct. Completion/cancellation doesn't remove physical workspace hold; retired notices shouldn't hide retained obligation.

Evidence: source-only — recovery routes, source actions; reviewed at 3bbc2104b65caf9f7763938a01260a5673e12f7a. No live provider proof.

Verification: not-run — Follow source/repair/return owner, reload exact IDs; foreign/mismatched source hidden. Unresolved file hold persists after Done/cancelled.

Gaps: Repair task existence does not authorize source mutation or prove recovery.

record-retained-file-repair

API: present — POST /api/issues/{id}/recovery-actions/resolve with exact actionId, restored outcome, unchanged source status and workspace repair evidence.

Agent access: restricted — board with accessible source and exact file/stop evidence. Current branch does not additionally enforce runtime:manage; agent REST/native denied.

Policy: Original terminal retained source validated independently: exact issue/run/lease receipt, stop/process/coordinator/no unreleased authority. Successful legacy source may record files only without changing its result. Preserve current status/owner/newer active action; no replay/wake. Same repair evidence receipt dedupes. Do not document stronger runtime grant than route enforces.

Evidence: source-only — recovery routes, source/stop validation; reviewed at 3bbc2104b65caf9f7763938a01260a5673e12f7a. No live provider proof.

Verification: not-run — Repair exact historical files, reload unchanged current owner/status/newer action and source result; no wake. Deny agent/foreign/run mismatch/running source/no stop evidence. Duplicate returns saved repair.

Gaps: Existing desired runtime-manager wording is stronger than implementation; product policy decision separate from map edits. Actual files/artifact must be verified before attestation.

add-new-execution-evidence

API: present — POST /api/issues/{id}/recovery-actions/resolve with executionReconciliation on the exact settled automatic replay-blocked action.

Agent access: restricted — board; exact source read, restoration/status and independent execution evidence.

Policy: Can reopen matching settled no-replay disposition only restored/todo with no competing active action and new accepted source proof; plain repeat returns receipt. Active coordinator/newer turn/retained uncertain authority disallows blind replay.

Evidence: source-only — recovery routes, reconciliation proof; reviewed at 3bbc2104b65caf9f7763938a01260a5673e12f7a. No live provider proof.

Verification: not-run — New verified evidence permits one eligible delivery; duplicate safe. Competing current action or missing/mismatched evidence denied and audit history preserved.

Gaps: Elapsed timeout/client providerStopped flag alone is not proof.

exhaustion

Capability ID: recovery/exhaustion.

Review: operation-reviewed.

Exhausted and overdue recovery advertises only the current eligible operator action.

read-attempt-budget

API: present — GET /api/issues/{id}/recovery-actions; GET /api/issues/{id}; GET /api/heartbeat-runs/{runId}.

Agent access: available — permitted agent REST/native call_api reads and CLI issue recovery-actions for that operation; actual native rollout/run binding required.

Policy: Durable maxAttempts is execution budget; exhaustion retires automatic wake/monitor/timeout paths. Due-but-not-started retry differs from live retry. Same episode identity persists through equivalent ref spellings/new run IDs/classifier upgrades.

Evidence: source-only — source actions, attempt display; reviewed at 3bbc2104b65caf9f7763938a01260a5673e12f7a. No live provider proof.

Verification: not-run — Exhaust episode, reload count/gate/no additional automatic wake; overdue retry remains visible as missed rather than working.

Gaps: Reading attempts isn't qualification of every provider retry lane.

request-explicit-retry

API: present — POST /api/issues/{id}/recovery-actions/resolve with exact actionId, restored outcome and todo source status, or the separately authorized workspace operation below.

Agent access: partial — source-permitted resolution; board-escalated/reconciliation/workspace decisions keep their explicit board gates.

Policy: Exhausted disposition still blocked, exact board-owned deliberate wait/board-escalation action and recorded return owner assigned/invokable; no blockers/pending interaction; normal handback pause/project/budget/approval/run gates. Cannot reset attempts from client.

Evidence: source-only — recovery routes, retry control; reviewed at 3bbc2104b65caf9f7763938a01260a5673e12f7a. No live provider proof.

Verification: not-run — One click waits real acknowledgment, reload one continuation; repeated click stale-owner/paused/blocker/question/budget cases rejected. No new episode budget from repeated request.

Gaps: An acknowledged retry can remain pending or fail; report actual useful result separately.

workspace

Capability ID: recovery/workspace.

Committed authorized Retry and workspace-recovery requests notify the internal preservation worker. Startup reconstructs its source-bound obligations and saved retry deadlines. A duplicate request during physical preservation does not replace the owner's generation or revision. Resolved files-only recovery retains its no-replay restriction. The local PostgreSQL regression checks the producer, worker, and physical source receipt; it is not deployed provider acceptance.

An authorized deliberate Retry also registers missing historical native preservation from an exact prepared descriptor and an unowned terminal finalization. It adopts only the existing bounded maintenance capability. A live owner or mismatched allocation cannot supply this proof. No termination receipt or execution authority is created by registration; connected Retry still waits behind recovery and rechecks its existing external identity.

The internal preservation resume path grants no board or agent execution API. It requires the exact source action, company, run, lease and environment, a held physical workspace owner, and its current stop-only cleanup claim. The ordinary resume and destruction fences still apply to protected sources. The assembled-runtime regression checks this separation before any provider call.

Managed missing-source reconciliation uses the server-only Cloud POST /v1/tenant/sandbox-absence protocol. A host-bound capability authenticates the stack; board and agent credentials cannot call it. Core requires a fresh Cloud signature for the exact company, issue, run, lease, allocation and physical owner. This can establish execution absence, never recovered files or successful task completion. Normal Retry admission and external-effect fences still apply. Signature and PostgreSQL regressions are local evidence, not deployed acceptance.

Review: operation-reviewed.

Each workspace repair/export/reconstruction/physical-owner operation has its own proof and authority.

recover-retained-files

API: present — POST /api/issues/{id}/recovery-actions/recover-workspace with actionId/runId/idempotencyKey.

Agent access: restricted — board task-read and issue:mutate; not runtime:manage. Agents denied through REST/native fallback.

Policy: Exact terminal retained source/lease/reference; independent stop and physical ownership checks; no newer writer. Bounded queued repair preserves newer files and has retry state. Matching key/recovered state dedupes; permanent blocked source refuses. Recovery starts no provider turn.

Evidence: source-only — recovery routes, retained recovery; reviewed at 3bbc2104b65caf9f7763938a01260a5673e12f7a. No live provider proof.

Verification: not-run — Allowed board requests exact source, inspect persisted copied files/artifact and cleanup. Repeat key/transient retry bounded. Agent/wrong company/newer writer/uncertain owner/no stop denied.

Gaps: Client never certifies recovered files by posting this request; hosted recovery separately not-run.

retry-accepted-result-export

API: present — POST /api/issues/{id}/recovery-actions/retry-workspace-export with exact actionId/runId/repairNote.

Agent access: restricted — board task read + runtime:manage; native agent call_api preserves denial.

Policy: Eligible native export-repair cause, saved result/coordinator/retained source and independent stop-only proof. Reuses original result/lease and bounded finalization, not provider execution. Pending duplicate audits once. Unsafe-export automatic path/manual admission and active exporter/new owner rejected.

Evidence: source-only — recovery routes, export retry; reviewed at 3bbc2104b65caf9f7763938a01260a5673e12f7a. No live provider proof.

Verification: not-run — Repaired sandbox export commits original accepted result without new provider turn; repeated click one audit/intent. Deny mismatched source/cause, active writer and unprivileged actor.

Gaps: Provider stop/probe/export must be actual evidence, not inferred from 202.

resume-after-owner-stop

API: present — POST /api/issues/{id}/recovery-actions/resume-workspace-finalization with actionId/runId/ownerToken/stopped flag/stopEvidence.

Agent access: restricted — board task read + runtime:confirm_owner_stop; active company owner/admin, trusted local board or current instance admin. Ordinary runtime manager/agent denied.

Policy: Exact native owner/result/task/run; independent platform verification all controller+copyback children stopped. Lease expiry/advisory disconnect not proof. Active lock/local writer/newer run blocks. Exact replay dedupes; reconciler exports/commits saved result and retains approval/monitor waits without fresh provider turn.

Evidence: source-only — recovery routes, owner proof, administrator gate; reviewed at 3bbc2104b65caf9f7763938a01260a5673e12f7a. No live provider proof.

Verification: not-run — After actual platform stop proof permitted admin records exact owner; inspect original saved result/files/holds and no fresh turn. Deny wrong owner/member/runtime manager/agent/live writer/stale Cloud admin.

Gaps: Automatic managed-cloud signed stop proof is separate; never invent platform attestation for local acceptance.

reconstruct-destroyed-source

API: present — POST /api/issues/{id}/recovery-actions/reconstruct-workspace with action/run/statusVersion/task attachments/lost-work acknowledgement/outcome evidence.

Agent access: restricted — board task read + runtime:manage.

Policy: Server confirms original source destruction, hashes same-task saved attachments, exact current status/source/no contradictory execution. Retained/uncertain source denied. Same request hash dedupes, changed request/state conflicts. Preserve failed old export/history/budget; one fresh normal-admission continuation from recorded sources. Intervening run cancellation proof remains exact.

Evidence: source-only — recovery routes, reconstruction; reviewed at 3bbc2104b65caf9f7763938a01260a5673e12f7a. No live provider proof.

Verification: not-run — Inspect acknowledged lost edits/selected hashes and actual reconstructed files. Retry/concurrent same request one continuation; wrong/private attachment, retained source/status change/false destruction denied.

Gaps: Original unexported edits remain lost; fresh reconstruction isn't successful original export or permission to replay completed external effects.

source-files-only-repair

API: present — POST /api/issues/{id}/recovery-actions/resolve with unchanged source status and exact file-repair evidence.

Agent access: restricted — board with readable source and exact source/action/run proof. This branch does not independently check runtime:manage.

Policy: Record recovered-file evidence only after independent stopped-source validation. Keep the original result and current task status, owner and execution unchanged; do not reopen or wake work. No invented runtime grant can be inferred from the map.

Evidence: source-only — recovery routes, file evidence; reviewed at 3bbc2104b65caf9f7763938a01260a5673e12f7a. No live provider proof.

Verification: not-run — Repair a matching retained-file obligation and reload its evidence. Reject missing/stale stop/source proof and agent identity. Compare unchanged task status, accepted result, owner and run count.

Gaps: This is the actual route boundary. The stronger runtime:manage requirement on dedicated workspace operations must not be imputed to generic file-only resolution.

repair-starting-branch

API: present — POST /api/issues/{id}/recovery-actions/resolve with the matching workspaceBaseRef repair shape.

Agent access: restricted — board with runtime:manage, readable source, exact recovery action and eligible source mutation authority.

Policy: Require the current blocked configuration_incomplete/base_ref_unresolved failure, matching assignee/project/requested ref and effective git-worktree strategy. Replacement branch differs from the failed ref. Reject stale configuration, incompatible reconciliation evidence or mismatched source; normal retry admission remains required.

Evidence: source-only — recovery routes, file evidence; reviewed at 3bbc2104b65caf9f7763938a01260a5673e12f7a. No live provider proof.

Verification: not-run — Repair a matching failed starting ref, reload the saved effective strategy and observe one eligible retry. Reject ordinary non-manager, agent, changed ref/project/owner/configuration and stale action.

Gaps: The simple CLI resolve wrapper does not express this branch-repair shape. Source-file-only repair above has different authority and effects.

reconcile-branch

API: present — POST /api/execution-workspaces/{id}/reconcile-branch modes forward, override or quarantine_restore.

Agent access: restricted — board + workspace privacy + runtime:manage; agent/native fallback denied.

Policy: Source task required. Forward re-inspects ancestry or confirmed missing recorded ref+clean resolved target. Override requires reason and current inspection. Quarantine_restore preserves dirty work on rescue ref, respects physical/runtime contention. No browser ancestry hint substitutes source check.

Evidence: source-only — branch route, branch/filesystem checks, mode schema; reviewed at 3bbc2104b65caf9f7763938a01260a5673e12f7a. No live provider proof.

Verification: not-run — Exercise offered mode on disposable branches, preserve before/after files/rescue ref and audit. Deny unrelated workspace/private/agent/no grant, wrong ancestry/no reason/live writer. Reload binding and actual files.

Gaps: No dedicated CLI reconciliation wrapper found; 202/toast isn't filesystem integrity proof.

unknown-outcome

Capability ID: recovery/unknown-outcome.

Review: operation-reviewed.

Inspect actual side effects before explicit source-specific operator resolution.

inspect-and-reconcile-execution

API: present — GET /api/issues/{id}/recovery-actions; GET /api/heartbeat-runs/{runId}; POST /api/issues/{id}/recovery-actions/resolve with exact run and executionReconciliation evidence.

Agent access: restricted — source read plus board execution-reconciliation decision; agent may inspect own permitted context, not attest provider state.

Policy: Server independently checks terminal source/task/owner or reviewer, stopped leases/process, no coordinator/successor/unreleased authority and workspace evidence. Outcome completed/not_performed/mixed informs continuation without repeating completed effects. Matching source-only file repair requests do not enqueue work.

Evidence: source-only — recovery routes, execution proof; reviewed at 3bbc2104b65caf9f7763938a01260a5673e12f7a. No live provider proof.

Verification: not-run — Inspect external provider first; wrong source/flag without stop evidence/live owner denied. Record truthful outcome -> one eligible continuation or retained hold; duplicate doesn't replay.

Gaps: Unknown stays unknown until corroborated. Evidence text alone can't override independent fences.

resolve-chat-publication

API: present — POST /api/chat-endpoints/{endpointId}/publications/{publicationId}/resolve action mark_delivered/retry_anyway/cancel, optional fileTransfer phase/version.

Agent access: restricted — board endpoint/company + tools:manage_connections (local implicit/instance-admin exceptions) and board user ID.

Policy: Only current delivery_unknown; credential lease/exact publication; stage-specific Teams/Slack/Photon rules and current phase apply. mark delivered/cancel settle; retry_anyway explicitly records duplicate risk and schedules bounded send. Terminal interaction prompt can't retry stale actions.

Evidence: source-only — channel management, publication resolution; reviewed at 3bbc2104b65caf9f7763938a01260a5673e12f7a. No live provider proof.

Verification: not-run — Inspect real provider, choose truthful resolution, reload/audit exact source/result. Agent/no connection grant/wrong endpoint/stale phase/nonunknown state denied. Retry must not silently duplicate.

Gaps: Accepted send request isn't recipient receipt; per-provider live proof required.

replay-failed-publication-or-resolve-action

API: present — POST /api/chat-endpoints/{endpointId}/publications/{publicationId}/replay; POST /api/chat-endpoints/{endpointId}/actions/{actionId}/resolve.

Agent access: restricted — endpoint-management board/company/tools:manage_connections; resolve requires board user ID.

Policy: Replay only failed state, expected attempt generation, live pending interaction prompt; delivery_unknown and stage-owned file transfer reject generic replay. Action resolution dispatches authoritative provider_effect or Slack task-start contract with mark_delivered/retry_anyway/cancel; no arbitrary execution retry.

Evidence: source-only — replay and effects, action kind dispatch, route gates; reviewed at 3bbc2104b65caf9f7763938a01260a5673e12f7a. No live provider proof.

Verification: not-run — Blind uncertain replay denied, failed eligible replay one generation. Resolve actual provider effect/task-start after inspection; races/wrong source/stale action no extra effect.

Gaps: No dedicated agent/CLI decision path; provider-specific stage semantics remain explicit gaps.

resolve-uncertain-email

API: present — POST /api/companies/{companyId}/email/deliveries/{publicationId}/resolve outcome sent/failed plus providerMessageId.

Agent access: restricted — board company + tools:manage_connections (local implicit/instance-admin exceptions).

Policy: Only current uncertain send under endpoint/thread lease. sent requires live provider read proving exact inbox, x-paperclip-publication-id and sent label; failed marks provider-not-sent and requires new explicit send. Repeat settled request conflicts; never auto-resend unknown email.

Evidence: source-only — email manager, provider proof; reviewed at 3bbc2104b65caf9f7763938a01260a5673e12f7a. No live provider proof.

Verification: not-run — Use actual uncertain disposable send; wrong inbox/header/label/message ID rejected, truthful sent/failed persists. Failed resolution emits no new send; competing decisions one outcome.

Gaps: Fixture AgentMail response isn't live provider inspection; public assistant/native agent cannot approve unknown outcome.

user-continuation

Capability ID: recovery/user-continuation.

Review: operation-reviewed.

Saved post-stop instructions wait for real cleanup and normal execution authority.

save-and-observe-wait

API: present — POST /api/issues/{id}/comments; GET /api/issues/{id}; GET /api/issues/{id}/comments; GET /api/issues/{id}/queued-comments; GET /api/heartbeat-runs/{runId}.

Agent access: partial — human author creates own instruction; agent REST/CLI/native report_progress creates attributed agent content, never human identity.

Policy: Ordinary source-task comment/steering company/privacy/responsible-user policy; saved message independent of provider stop. Existing operator Stop with no new instruction respected. No new client API to manufacture saved-human provenance.

Evidence: source-only — recovery routes, saved continuation, waiting messages; reviewed at 3bbc2104b65caf9f7763938a01260a5673e12f7a. No live provider proof.

Verification: not-run — Stop disposable owned run, submit distinct follow-ups during cleanup; reload sees ordered waiting messages without premature turn. Deny foreign/private/wrong identity.

Gaps: Comment acknowledgment isn't agent answer or cleanup completion.

admit-once-after-stop

API: present — GET /api/issues/{id}; GET /api/heartbeat-runs/{runId}. Server reconsideration uses normal admission; there is no unrestricted retry endpoint.

Agent access: partial — eligible admitted agent/native bound wake receives saved input; delivery remains server-owned.

Policy: Exact prior run/lease/workspace stop proof, no competing execution, current owner/responsible user, normal subtree/project pause/budget/review gates. Durable ordered message/wake receipts avoid duplicates; never borrow authority from stale callback/other routine. Unused hold-denied admission needs no-execution/dispatch evidence before automatic reconsideration.

Evidence: source-only — legacy gates, native ownership, queued Stop; reviewed at 3bbc2104b65caf9f7763938a01260a5673e12f7a. No live provider proof.

Verification: not-run — After confirmed cleanup one useful continuation consumes saved order; repeat sweep/reload no duplicate. Pause/budget/approval/unknown external outcome and reassignment prevent stale admission. Queued Stop leaves another routine cycle intact.

Gaps: Legacy/native/channel runtimes separately qualify; preserve original undispatched-hold and callback regressions.

reconnect

Capability ID: recovery/reconnect.

Review: operation-reviewed.

Browser transport recovery refetches persisted state without implying runner recovery.

subscribe-and-filter

API: present — GET /api/companies/{companyId}/events/ws with WebSocket Upgrade; GET /api/issues/{id} and GET /api/heartbeat-runs/{runId} remain separate REST reads.

Agent access: partial — browser session/trusted Cloud identity or local implicit board; standard unrevoked same-company agent API key via actual WS client. Native call_api cannot Upgrade; scoped keys/native JWT/personal MCP bearer not this path.

Policy: Upgrade membership/company checks; scoped key scopeConfig rejected. Delivery-time key/member and issue/project/run/skill/case privacy rechecks; redacted invalidation payload doesn't confer detail read. Personal MCP Events is a distinct protocol/authority.

Evidence: source-only — WS admission/filter; reviewed at 3bbc2104b65caf9f7763938a01260a5673e12f7a. No live provider proof.

Verification: not-run — Permitted browser/key gets only authorized events; foreign/scoped/revoked key/member/private resource denied/filtered after subscription. REST details still enforce own ACL.

Gaps: Actual WS client isn't automatically present in native run; avoid query tokens in evidence despite source compatibility.

disconnect-poll-and-refresh

API: present — GET /api/issues/{id}; GET /api/heartbeat-runs/{runId}; reconnect through the same WebSocket protocol. No event-replay API is implied.

Agent access: partial — LiveUpdatesProvider browser recovery; agents can poll permitted reads or use actual installed protocol client.

Policy: Bounded reconnect backoff; failed socket fallback polling, healthy open stops polling and invalidates active queries including initial-subscription gap. Events aren't replayed. Hidden/unmounted stops relevant loops; stale socket ignored; reconnect toast suppression distinct from content delivery.

Evidence: source-only — browser recovery; reviewed at 3bbc2104b65caf9f7763938a01260a5673e12f7a. No live provider proof.

Verification: not-run — Disconnect while server changes task/run/decision; reconnect/visibility return/refetch matches reload without duplicate comments/decisions/toasts. Initial-open gap and hidden/unmount loops checked.

Gaps: Healthy socket proves transport only, not provider restart or successful failed task. Mocks not deployed network proof.
