Devin FoleyandPaperclip d49cbf4c4f Permit idle sleep with consumed retries and passive worktrees (#15907)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Idle sleep must wait for accepted work and durable cleanup.
> - The retry dispatcher keeps its due date after it promotes a retry.
> - Finished retries and passive local directories can therefore look
like pending work.
> - This pull request requires completion proof and permits known
passive directory records.
> - It retains the records and keeps real work and unknown state awake.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #15897 and #15851. The open runtime-service work in #13413
retains its separate service and ingress guarantees. This patch does not
change those checks.

**What happened?**

Idle sleep treats a consumed retry date as pending work. It also blocks
on every retained execution workspace, including a local directory
without runtime activity.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Promote a scheduled retry, then finish its run without accounting
debt. Retain its scheduled retry date.
2. Retain a local primary directory or Git worktree without runtime
configuration, commands, or cleanup due.
3. Request an owned idle safety report. The report returns `present` for
this history.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on master at 4b59e2a2ec.

**Deployment mode**

Server with PostgreSQL. The regression tests use embedded PostgreSQL.

## What Changed

- Permit terminal runs with a finish time at or after their retry date
and no accounting debt. Apply that proof to linked wake,
answer-delivery, and verified failed-lease history.
- Permit known passive local primary directories and Git worktrees. Keep
due cleanup, commands, runtime configuration, shared project runtime
inheritance, pending reopen, runtime owners, and unfamiliar state awake.
- Retain retry dates, workspace records, files, and metadata. Document
the proof and retention limits.

## Verification

- Passed all 200 tests in `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/idle-sleep-safety.test.ts` against embedded
PostgreSQL.
- Passed the 52 retry dispatcher tests.
- Passed `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build`. After the provider
correction, server typecheck and build passed again.
- Full CI is green for commit
`0510669439e855b90a4e03a2fc7827503cea507f`, including all test shards,
typecheck, build, and browser end-to-end tests. One browser test
initially raced its comment write; the failed jobs passed on retry
without a source change.
- Local `pnpm test:run` recorded 18,721 passed, 105 skipped, and four
failures in existing AI-login, Git-fixture, and native runner-recovery
tests; it exited before the remaining workspace and serialized groups.
The AI-login test passed alone. Both Git fixtures passed with
command-scoped `init.defaultBranch=master`. The native recovery failure
also occurs on the parent revision on this Mac. These suites pass in CI.
- Greptile Apex scored the final commit 5/5. Its provider-coverage
comment was addressed and the review thread resolved.
- Reviewed the diff for secrets, private data, generated files, and
unrelated changes.

## Risks

- Missing finish times, later retry dates, active children, and
accounting debt continue to block sleep. Failed lease history still
requires an exact provider termination receipt.
- Future cleanup eligibility can wait for the next wake. Due cleanup
blocks sleep. Storage must remain attached across sleep and keep its
backup policy.
- Shared directories with a project workspace and unfamiliar providers,
strategies, modes, or configuration remain conservative blockers.
- No migration, provider teardown, retry scheduling change, or tenant
data deletion.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with repository tools and code execution. The
runtime does not expose a more specific model snapshot or context-window
size.
