## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work > - A parent task delegates to children and waits on blockers. Its agent learns of progress only through wakes > - Today only completion (`issue_children_completed`) and resolution (`issue_blockers_resolved`) wake a waiting issue > - In restart chaos `w-20261108T181313-s9701` t05, a blocker stopped on a recovery action that needs the board, and its parent sat silently blocked for 50+ minutes > - This pull request wakes the waiting agent once per such stall, tells it what it can do, and shows the stall on the parent's page with the child's Retry > - The benefit is that a stuck child or blocker no longer silently strands its parent ## Linked Issues or Issue Description Refs #19831 (durable ownership plan; restart chaos campaign). Restart chaos wave `w-20261108T181313-s9701`, task t05 (M1, claude). **Problem** From the kept database: - CHA-8 `blocks` CHA-5. - CHA-8's board-owned recovery action (`native_session_retry_exhausted`) was created at 18:44:02.909 and resolved with outcome `blocked` at 18:44:08, when CHA-8 moved to `blocked` for the board. - CHA-5's only wake in the whole wave was its `issue_assigned` at 18:20:48. Its agent never heard about CHA-8. **Expected behavior** - When a child or blocker stalls on the board, the waiting agent is woken once. It can then re-delegate, escalate, or block with a reason. - The board sees the stall on the waiting task, with the child's Retry. ## What Changed - **Shared:** - `ISSUE_BLOCKER_STALLED_WAKE_REASON` (`issue_blocker_stalled`), `ISSUE_BLOCKER_STALL_RELATIONS`, and the types `IssueBlockerStallRelation` and `IssueBlockerStalledWakeContext`; - `Issue.stalledDependencies`. - **Server, `services/recovery/blocker-stall-wakeups.ts`:** - A stall is an issue that is not done or cancelled, whose latest recovery action needs the board. That means either open (`active`/`escalated`) and board-owned or escalated, or board-owned and resolved as `blocked` while the issue is still `blocked`. The second case is what t05 needed: recovery resolves its action that way when it hands the issue to the board. - Waiters are the parent, and every issue the stalled one `blocks`, when they are open, visible and agent-assigned. - Each waiter gets one wake per stall. The idempotency key `issue_blocker_stalled:{waiter}:{stalled}:{recoveryActionId}` is checked through the indexed `(company_id, payload->>'issueId')` path. A later stall has a new action id, so it wakes again. - Each wake writes activity `issue.blocker_stalled_wake`. - The pass runs from the recovery-action sweep (`reconcileActiveRecoveryActions`) and from the per-issue blocked sweep (`reconcileResolvedDependencyWakeBackstop`, which visits each blocked issue). No new worker. - A waiter's agent that cannot read the stalled issue (`issue:read`, which honors private visibility) is woken without its title, identifier or recovery details; the activity entry withholds them too. - **Database:** migration `0450` adds the partial unique index `agent_wakeup_requests_issue_blocker_stalled_uq` on `(company_id, idempotency_key)` for `issue_blocker_stalled:` keys in delivered or pending statuses, so two concurrent sweeps cannot both deliver a stall. It is built `CONCURRENTLY IF NOT EXISTS` outside a transaction (listed in `MIGRATIONS_WITH_TOP_LEVEL_STATEMENTS`). - **Queue:** `allowsDependencyBlockedWake` (in `run-dispatch/domain/wake-context.ts`) lets a stall wake run while the waiter's blockers are unresolved, at both dependency gates. Without it the wake was parked until the stalled blocker resolved, which is never. Pause holds are unchanged. - **Agent guidance:** the wake payload carries `blockerStall`, and `renderPaperclipWakePrompt` adds a "Stalled dependency" section. It names the task and its recovery action and the board's next action, then the three choices: re-delegate, escalate with a comment, or block with a reason naming the stalled task. - **Other reason lists:** `issue_blocker_stalled` joins the responsible-user wake reasons, the conversation execution-wake reasons (it never drives a chat turn) and the wake diagnostic's known reasons. - **Board surface:** - `GET /issues/:id` returns `stalledDependencies`, readable issues only (`readableIssueEdgeIds`). - `StalledDependencyNotice` shows on the issue's chat notices, next to `IssueBlockedNotice`: each stalled child or blocker, its board next action, a link, and the child's own Retry (`useTaskRetry`), offered only when the child's interruption allows it. ## Verification Red/green: - `server/src/__tests__/issue-blocker-stall-wakeups.test.ts` (14 tests). - On master: no `issue_blocker_stalled` wake is raised. - With this PR: the parent is woken once per stall, and re-woken after a new stall. A blocker's dependent is woken. - The t05 shape (an action resolved as `blocked`) wakes once, and nothing more after a Retry. - No wake for an agent-owned action, a done, unassigned or hidden waiter, or an action resolved another way. - `listStalledDependencies` lists children and blockers. - `heartbeat-dependency-scheduling.test.ts` "admits an issue_blocker_stalled wake while a blocker is unresolved". On master the wake was parked (`null`); once admitted, the run-start gate cancelled it. With this PR it runs with `dependencyBlockedInteraction`. The file: 14 passed. - `packages/adapter-utils` `server-utils.test.ts`: the new prompt test failed on master (no `blockerStall`). The file: 141 passed. - `ui/src/components/StalledDependencyNotice.test.tsx`: 3 passed. `IssueChatThread.test.tsx`: 109 passed. Regression and static checks: - Nearby server suites (recovery durable wait, dependency wake routes, recovery actions, run-preparation): 149 passed. - `tsc --noEmit` passes for `packages/shared`, `server` and `ui/src`. - `pnpm check:token-gates` is clean. Review round 1 (Greptile, Superagent), each with a regression: - A backlog waiter is never woken. The waiter's status and assignee are guarded at enqueue. - One stall per run: no coalescing, so a merged run cannot keep only the last stall's context. - Only a delivered or pending wake ends a stall. A refused one (wake-on-demand off) is retried after 10 minutes, and an agent that takes no wakes is skipped without writing a row. - Company-wide passes resume after the last stall a capped pass reached. The per-issue sweep also checks the issue's own children and blockers, which covers an unassigned stalled blocker. - The dependency gates no longer trust the reason string. `verifyBlockerStallWake` requires a system request, the stalled issue's current stall action, and a real child or blocker edge. An agent-requested wake with the same context is parked (tested). - The notice shows a refused Retry's reason, and a lost response as "Taking longer than usual…", with Retry still available (tested). Review round 2 (Greptile), each with a regression: - Race: two passes claiming one stall leave one delivered row (unique index; the loser's insert is skipped). - The company recovery sweep selects companies whose only stall is a resolved-`blocked` board action, so an unassigned stalled blocker with a todo waiter is reached. - Private stalled issue: the waiter's wake and activity carry no title, identifier or recovery details. - `GET /issues/:id` always returns `stalledDependencies`, so a cleared stall replaces the cached list. - The notice shows a failed child read with a Reload button (tested). - `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db check:migrations` passes. Review round 3 (Greptile), each with a regression: - A stall wake that fails to enqueue is retried: the recovery-action pass reports `blockerStallWakeFailures` and the dependency pass counts it in `enqueueFailed`, so the worker throws and retries at its backoff (`issue-recovery-work-lifecycle.test.ts`). - The notice drops a stall once the child's refreshed status has moved on (`StalledDependencyNotice.test.tsx`, 7 tests). ## Risks - A deploy wakes the waiters of every issue that is stalled today, once each. That is intended (they are stranded now), and it's bounded at 200 stalls per pass. - A stall wake may run while blockers are unresolved, like a comment wake. It is bounded to one per stall, and pause holds still apply. - The agent skill (`skills/paperclip`, CODEOWNER-owned) does not yet list the new reason. The wake prompt carries the guidance. - One additive index, built concurrently; no persisted run state change. Existing rows cannot violate it before deploy, since no `issue_blocker_stalled:` keys exist yet. ## Model Used - Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, via Claude Code with tool use (shell, file edits). ## 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>
