## Thinking Path > - Paperclip manages agent work and its execution workspaces. > - Workspace recovery scans candidates and retains deadlines for unfinished work. > - Rounded database timestamps can prevent a scan from advancing. > - Separate clock reads can give one retry obligation different deadlines. > - Repeated inspection must preserve both scan progress and the saved retry time. > - This PR keeps full cursor precision and computes each retry deadline once. > - Recovery can finish its scan and wait until work is actually due. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description **What happened?** Terminal workspace recovery can repeatedly inspect the oldest skipped candidate when its timestamp contains microseconds. Eligible workspaces behind it never reach cleanup. Separately, nested-clone migration and isolated-repository rehome recovery use separate clock reads for their retry gate and advertised deadline. A later inspection can move the advertised deadline backward. **Expected behavior** Each bounded scan advances using the complete timestamp and ID. The retry gate and advertised deadline represent the same saved time, including when the clock advances between calls. **Steps to reproduce** For cursor starvation, place two skipped workspaces with microsecond timestamps before an eligible terminal workspace and use a one-row page. For deadline drift, inject a clock that advances one millisecond per read, run disabled migration or rehome recovery, then inspect it again before the retry time. Stacked on #17497. Related cursor fixes #17479 and #17482 have separate owners. This PR owns workspace recovery cursor and retry precision. ## What Changed - Preserve the database timestamp as text in the private timestamp/ID cursor. - Compute one retry time per migration or rehome outcome and reuse it in the existing maps. - Test the cursor with real PostgreSQL microsecond timestamps and the retry boundary with a deterministic advancing clock. - Support validated disposable external test databases in the affected fixtures, retaining embedded fallback. - Document the evidence in `doc/idle-terminal-workspace-pagination.md`. ## Verification Current test revision: `9d846c84e76c90893ab62a09548c11bbdb627771`, followed by docs-only head `a34dc50de3`, which received both 5/5 reviews and passing CI. This candidate normally integrates landed approval retention `553a004926`. Every runtime and acceptance-test source matches that tested/reviewed tree; only four independent Runner E2E accounting files and the ledger differ. Migration metadata is unchanged. Existing local checks are reused for their unchanged source; fresh final-head CI and reviews are required against master. This remains the terminal-precision duty. - **136 cases pass** in four complete suites: execution workspace service, terminal worker, isolated repository rehome and nested-clone migration. Server typecheck and production build pass with the current Runner vendor. - The preceding `f0f0de1f6f` run also passed all 136 on three newly created, unmigrated PostgreSQL databases. The suites themselves applied migrations. The current run reuses those clean fixtures after integrating the parent's approval wake repair; it is not presented as a fresh-database run. - The regressions retain real PostgreSQL microsecond timestamps and an advancing clock. Before repair, skipped rows starved eligible cleanup and early inspection moved a saved retry by one millisecond. Current assertions preserve exact progress/deadline behavior; no timeout or business policy is weakened. - Earlier external-fixture setup tests failed with missing company/restore-point schema. Their setup repair and red/green record remain in `doc/idle-terminal-workspace-pagination.md`. This PR adds no migration or new queue. - Earlier stack integration receipts and failures remain in the stack ledger and `doc/idle-approved-tool-recovery.md`; they are historical parent evidence, not this head's acceptance. No full local repository suite, deployed suspension, fleet cost or live provider qualification is claimed. Commands: server Vitest for `execution-workspaces-service`, `terminal-workspace-work`, `isolated-repository-rehome` and `nested-clone-migration`; server typecheck/build. Fresh exact-head CI and Greptile/Ponytail 5/5 remain required before merge in dependency order. ## Risks The cursor remains private query state. Retry intervals, eligibility, cleanup authority, and shutdown behavior are unchanged. No schema, queue, external alarm, or additional polling loop is introduced. The tests establish workspace recovery behavior, not host suspension or cost savings. ## Model Used OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning and code execution. The exact serving model identifier and context window were not exposed. ## 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 --------- Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
