## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work. > - A shared workspace can make a run wait before it calls a provider. > - The scheduler saves a retry for that wait. > - The control plane can cancel the retry while it is still queued. > - Recovery then asks for a process stop receipt for a run that never claimed execution. > - This pull request verifies the retry and its exact workspace-wait parent before it accepts a later user instruction. > - The benefit is that Retry and saved messages can continue through normal admission without replaying old work. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description Refs #13640 and #15483. Related fixes: #18838 covers dispatcher cancellation codes; this change covers a system-cancelled scheduled workspace retry. Related open PR #15383 covers claimed conversation-adapter preparation. This change requires an unclaimed retry with no run profile or owner. **What happened?** A scheduled workspace retry was cancelled before runtime selection. The run retained an expected system cancellation and a `startupCancellation.beforeNativeSelection: false` marker. It had no start timestamp, execution stage, run profile, controller, process, lease or provider events. Recovery recorded an unknown-action hold. A later user message and Retry could not pass that hold. **Expected behavior** A later authorized instruction can start a fresh turn when the saved retry and its exact parent prove that no provider work started. Missing or conflicting evidence must retain the hold. **Steps to reproduce** 1. Record a terminal workspace wait before provider dispatch, with `executionRecovery.kind: workspace_wait` and `providerWorkStarted: false`. 2. Save a scheduled retry for that same company, task and agent. 3. Cancel the retry through the control plane before it claims execution. 4. Send a new user message or request Retry after the cancellation. 5. On the base commit, admission returns no continuation. With this change, normal admission creates one fresh successor. **Paperclip version or commit** Reproduced in source based on master at `499712c68b3ca95801b6114d5f2f0f0ea6759318`. **Deployment mode** Source checkout with isolated embedded PostgreSQL. Hosted rollout and a real provider run remain to be verified after merge. ## What Changed - Extend the existing cancelled-startup proof with one source-bound workspace-retry case. Require the canonical retry parent and reason to match the saved context. - Verify the parent's company, task, agent, time order, immutable Runner claim and typed workspace-wait record. Reject runtime, process, lease, coordinator, result and output evidence on either run. - Keep validation of the full saved result in the database predicate. The bounded execution projection can add empty receipt fields without changing eligibility. - Reuse the existing admission, Retry and deferred-message paths. Preserve cancelled history and unknown action outcomes. Keep permission, Stop, budget and recovery-limit gates. - Add 23 regression cases, including heartbeat message and Retry admission, concurrent saved-message recovery, and 19 conflicting-evidence cases. Document the contract. The cancelled-startup service owns this proof. No provider protocol, schema, UI or shared contract changes. Reads use exact run IDs and return only narrow metadata. The new reads occur only for a cancelled, unstarted Runner retry candidate. ## Verification - `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run src/services/explicit-native-continuation.test.ts src/services/legacy-execution-recovery.test.ts src/services/execution-blocker-read.test.ts src/services/task-retry.test.ts` — 452 passed. - `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed. - `pnpm build` — passed. - `node scripts/check-module-boundaries.mjs` and `git diff --check` — passed. - Local diff review and secret/private-context scan — passed. Test identities are synthetic. - Regression history: the original positive case failed on unchanged source while 11 negative guards passed. Initial test fixtures then exposed ownership/contract constraints and a missing saved-wake envelope; the fixtures now use valid persisted shapes. The heartbeat Retry test exposed extra keys in the bounded evidence projection. Full-record validation now runs in SQL, and both assembled heartbeat paths pass. The unknown action outcome stays unchanged. - Platform: macOS arm64, Node 25.6.1, pnpm 9.15.4. Tests use real isolated PostgreSQL. They stop at admission and do not call a live provider. - Exact-head GitHub CI: 54 successful checks, 3 skipped, no unfinished or failed checks. Greptile scored `cfbf55cea68e3c69f65f50afcba98f775fa6fa3d` 5/5, with no actionable findings and no review threads. - The full repository `pnpm test:run` was not run locally. A previous full run in this repair effort stalled and was stopped after 2h45. The four complete affected suites pass; full PR CI must pass before merge. ## Risks - False admission could allow work before a predecessor is safe. The proof fails closed on missing parent records, different ownership, a changed retry binding, later parent completion, restore obligations, any execution resource, or any provider/output evidence. - This deliberately covers only system-cancelled, unclaimed workspace retries. Other cancellations retain their current reconciliation path. It does not grant automatic replay, certify unknown external writes, or reset exhausted recovery limits. - No migration. Verify the serving version and an existing saved-message continuation after deployment. ## Model Used - OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol`, xhigh reasoning, through the Codex harness in T3 Code. Used code editing, shell tools and test execution. The harness does not expose its context-window size. ## 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 - [x] All Paperclip CI gates are green - [x] 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>
