## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work > - The heartbeat runner executes legacy agent runs, and a controller lease watchdog keeps durable ownership of each run > - The watchdog renews the lease every 10 seconds and stops the run when a renewal does not finish within the 60-second lease > - A staging run failed in setup with `LegacyControllerLeaseLostError` and the `renewal_deadline` cause, after about eight minutes of preparation and with no server restart > - The setup failure path did not record the cause, and no evidence showed why the renewal did not finish: a stalled database query or a blocked event loop > - This pull request records bounded watchdog timings with each lease loss, on the setup failure path and on the cancellation path > - The benefit is that the next event shows which of the two causes stops renewal, which is the missing fact to fix the root cause ## Linked Issues or Issue Description Refs #16084 (added the closed lease-loss cause for cancelled runs) Refs #16355 (retries a run that a restart stopped before dispatch; a different path) **What happened?** A legacy `paperclip_runner` run on staging failed with `setup_failed` and the message "Legacy controller lease lost". The stack shows the watchdog deadline timer (`renewal_deadline`). The run was in `executionStage: "preparing"` for about 467 seconds. The server started about 11 minutes before the run, so this was not a restart. The run record and the Sentry event do not show the lease-loss cause, because the setup failure path does not read it. Nothing shows if a renewal query was in flight at the deadline, or if the deadline callback ran late. **Expected behavior** When the watchdog loses the lease, the run records the closed cause and the watchdog timings. This applies when the loss fails setup and when it stops the adapter. The failure report contains only the closed cause and bounded numbers. **Steps to reproduce** 1. Start a legacy run with a controller lease. 2. During setup, make a lease renewal query hang for more than 60 seconds, or block the event loop past the deadline. 3. Let the watchdog abort the run. 4. Read `resultJson` on the failed run. Before this change, it has no lease-loss evidence. ## What Changed - `legacy-controller-lease.ts`: The watchdog tracks the last successful renewal, the renewals in flight, the scheduled deadline, and the renewal count. `LegacyControllerLeaseLostError` now carries `leaseLossTiming`: `sinceRenewalMs`, `renewalPendingMs` (or `null`), `deadlineLateMs` (only for `renewal_deadline`), and `renewalCount`. Ownership behavior does not change. - `run-cancellation.ts`: Add the `LegacyControllerLeaseLossTiming` type and `readControllerLeaseLoss()`. The reader accepts only a closed cause and non-negative finite numbers, and clamps each value to 24 hours. - `heartbeat/run-completion.ts`: Persist `resultJson.controllerLeaseLoss` with the cause and timings. This applies to a lease loss that stops the adapter and to a lease loss that fails setup (the thrown abort reason). - `run-failure-diagnostics.ts`: Report `controllerLeaseLossCause` and the four bounded timing fields from `controllerLeaseLoss`. A setup failure now gets the cause label too. - `doc/run-log-events.md`: Document the new record and how to read the timings. - Tests: watchdog timings for a stalled query, a blocked event loop, and a failing query; completion records the evidence for an adapter stop and for a setup failure; the failure report clamps values, drops unknown keys, and drops a record without a closed cause. ## Verification - `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run src/services/legacy-controller-lease.test.ts src/services/heartbeat/run-completion.test.ts src/services/__tests__/run-failure-report.test.ts src/services/run-cancellation.test.ts` - I could not run these tests locally. The sandbox has a 4 GB memory limit, and `pnpm install` was stopped by the out-of-memory killer during lockfile resolution. CI is the test run for this change. - After deployment, a new lease loss shows `controllerLeaseRenewalPendingMs` and `controllerLeaseDeadlineLateMs` in the Sentry execution context. A pending time near 50 seconds or more points at the database. A large deadline lateness points at the event loop. ## Risks - Low risk. This change adds diagnostics. It does not change when the watchdog stops a run, and it does not prevent the lease loss. - The new `resultJson.controllerLeaseLoss` field is server-written. Readers ignore unknown values. Old rows do not have it. - The failure report gets five closed or numeric fields. It gets no reason text, IDs, or user content. - The event-loop test blocks the loop for about 80 ms to make the deadline late. It uses real timers, so a very slow CI host makes the lateness larger, not smaller. > For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR.
