DottaandPaperclip f69c6a8a35 fix(github): retry and recover review publication (#16284)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent work and its published results.
> - GitHub review bots publish task-bound assessments through governed
tools.
> - A review can survive a caller timeout because its publication intent
is durable.
> - A transient provider failure still returned a failed receipt before
recovery.
> - Gateway replay could return an empty cached result, and publication
retries had no dedicated scheduler deadline.
> - This pull request adds bounded retries, receipt recovery, and an
independent durable worker.
> - A temporary GitHub failure can recover without another review or
duplicate publication.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #16275. That change increased the GitHub tool deadline. This change
repairs retry and recovery behavior.

**What happened?**

A one-off GitHub HTTP 503 or 429 left the caller with a failed
publication receipt. The saved retry did not have its own scheduler
worker. An identical gateway call after a timeout could return an empty
cached result instead of the saved publication receipt.

**Expected behavior**

Temporary failures should retry under current authority. Pending work
should resume at its saved deadline after restart. Exact retries should
return the current receipt. Lost responses must not create duplicate
comments, findings, or checks.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Admit an advisory PR review request and begin its assessment.
2. Return HTTP 503 or 429 for the first summary-comment PATCH, then let
GitHub succeed.
3. Submit the assessment through the run-scoped tool gateway.
4. On master, the result says publication failed. With this change, the
same call returns the processed receipt and neutral check.
5. For receipt recovery, use a shorter caller deadline and repeat the
exact call after publication finishes.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on master at `6cb6ac3b8e40cb90d734ba115a2f22f850ff9477`.

## What Changed

- Classify transient transport, server, and rate-limit failures. Honor
Retry-After and primary reset deadlines. Stop retries for permanent
permission and validation errors.
- Retry safe reads and installation-token issuance within a bounded call
window. Retry publication writes through the existing outbox and
provider receipt checks.
- Wait for up to three publication attempts within a 45-second retry
window. Keep the durable eight-failure cap and enforce saved deadlines
on explicit retries.
- Register an independent GitHub publication worker with
transaction-owned wake notifications, startup recovery, and per-PR lease
deadlines.
- Recover exact comment, progress, and assessment gateway calls from
their stored publication. Require the same company, agent, task, run,
connection, tool, arguments, and current policy. Clear stale timeout
errors after recovery. Approved exact retries read the current receipt
through the existing signed replay path; the worker retains the verified
approval for deferred writes and still rejects revocation.
- Add regression coverage and update the connector guide and
feature/access maps.

## Verification

- Red: both one-off HTTP 503 and 429 regressions failed on master with a
failed publication receipt.
- Green: the same tests passed after the change.
- GitHub review workflows: 133 covered against isolated PostgreSQL 18.
The final combined run passed 132 and hit one fifteen-second timeout
under concurrent build load. All three variants of that workflow passed
in isolation. The earlier combined run passed all 131 workflows before
the two approval regressions were added.
- Retry policy and delivery coordinator tests: 35 passed.
- Additional focused checks passed for the actual eight-failure cap,
exact-argument conflicts, policy revocation, and timeout receipt
recovery. The approved deferred-publication and revocation regressions
failed before the review repair and passed after it, with one approval
request preserved.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed. `pnpm build`: passed. `node
scripts/check-maps.mjs`: passed.
- The broad local `pnpm test:run` path remains blocked by the host's
exhausted PostgreSQL shared-memory slots. The changed database-backed
workflows use an isolated Docker database instead. All Paperclip CI jobs
passed at a6d81b67cb, including the required verify and E2E gates.
Greptile is 5/5 at the same head, with the approval-recovery finding
resolved. The external Superagent Security Scan also passed.
- Live acceptance passed on a dedicated single-repository local test App
and native Paperclip Runner. A test-only preload returned one HTTP 503
before the final summary PATCH. One submit_review call completed in
17.305 seconds; the bot published its 3/5 advisory review and neutral
check, then automatically finished the task. [Published
review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-permissions-smoke-20260926-pap57-fee7428e/pull/9#issuecomment-6168809007),
[neutral
check](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-permissions-smoke-20260926-pap57-fee7428e/runs/115863564014).
This live test ran at de6862072c; approval-specific recovery is covered
by the later regressions. The preload is excluded from the repository
and removed from the running local instance.

## Risks

Retries make additional bounded provider requests. A provider write with
a lost response is recovered through its existing App-owned identity
before another write is permitted. The worker rechecks authority and the
PR head; revocation and superseded work stop publication. Calls can
still exceed their deadline, and repeated failures eventually exhaust
the retry cap. A pending publication is not a completed task. The agent
still owns task completion after receiving a confirmed receipt. No
schema migration is needed.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex (GPT-6 family), with code inspection, editing, and test
execution. The exact deployment model ID and context window are not
exposed in this session.
