## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work. > - The heartbeat service records each agent turn and releases its working files. > - A turn can save its work and finish before instruction-copy cleanup runs. > - A cleanup exception can replace that completed result with an adapter failure. > - This also loses result accounting and can prevent environment lease release. > - This pull request records a cleanup warning and keeps the original run outcome. > - The existing recovery sweep retries cleanup from the durable working-copy record. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description Related cleanup and lock work: #14866 and #14869. Related, distinct work: #14695 retains warm-process files; #12021 handles provider-process SIGTERM after a terminal result. **What happened?** An agent saved its plan, posted a comment, and requested approval. The provider completed its turn. Instruction-copy cleanup then timed out on a directory lock. Its exception escaped a `finally` block and replaced the provider result, so the completed turn showed `Run failed`. **Expected behavior** Keep the provider outcome, usage, cost, saved work, and pending approval. Record a cleanup warning and let the existing recovery sweep retry. A real provider failure must keep its original error. A failed file save must keep its failed-save receipt. **Steps to reproduce** 1. Complete a legacy adapter turn that saves work and requests approval. 2. Make instruction-copy release throw a directory-lock timeout. 3. Read the run result. Before this change, the cleanup error replaces the provider outcome. The new heartbeat tests reproduce the failure without a live provider or external service. **Paperclip version or commit** The regression reproduces on `c83df091b1a5207375eaf23466bb5c62e4e1518e`. This branch is rebased onto `cf8ad63c80`. **Deployment mode** Server-managed agent execution with persistent instruction working copies. ## What Changed - Catch instruction-copy release failures in both heartbeat teardown paths. Stop repeating a failed cleanup attempt within the same run. - Write a sanitized `instruction_cleanup` warning. A warning-write failure also preserves the run result. - Test successful, failed, and throwing providers; both teardown paths; warning-write failure; accounting; approval state; and execution-control release. - Extend the held-lock test to prove a fresh recovery worker removes the deferred copy and preserves its failed-save receipt. - Document deferred cleanup and the run-log event. ## Verification - Red proof: all five new heartbeat regression cases fail with the original release calls. - At head `20bea4f431c916d2f5db1970213aab85f5daa34c`, all 417 tests passed across heartbeat process recovery, agent directory working copies, and directory merge locks. - Full local `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, and `git diff --check` passed. - [GitHub CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37031119795) passed at this head. All 53 reported checks passed; the two Storybook checks were correctly skipped. This includes general and serialized tests, browser shards, runner verification, build, typecheck, and the canary dry run. - Greptile reviewed this head with 5/5, no code comments, and no unresolved review threads. The branch has no merge conflicts. - The local `pnpm test:run` attempt was stopped after it reported eight failures in unchanged suites. Four Slack/AgentMail cases selected an unrelated ancestor skills directory and failed with `ENOENT`; the two Slack cases passed with a temporary local skill-root link, which was then removed. Three company-skill cases reproduced macOS `EACCES` errors when renaming read-only cache directories. One gateway case passed when rerun alone. No full local-suite pass is claimed; the complete CI test jobs passed. ## Risks - Cleanup errors now leave recovery work pending. The durable working-copy record remains available for the existing retry sweep. - This change preserves provider failures and failed-save receipts. It does not claim that unsaved file edits were saved. - Native instruction reservation errors retain their existing behavior because they guard process ownership. - No schema, lockfile, workflow, API, or UI changes. ## Model Used OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, repository tools, and code execution.
