DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 edd00526e7 fix(native): park a response_wake with no admitted response instead of self-waking (#20935)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A native agent run ends with a structured result. The status arbiter
turns that result into an issue status and next actions.
> - A result can report `yielded` with `continuation.kind:
"response_wake"`. This means "wake me when somebody responds".
> - Only a direct Board comment gave this kind a passive wait. Every
other `response_wake` became an immediate `issue_status_changed` wake to
the same agent.
> - The agent woke, saw nothing new, reported `response_wake` again, and
woke again. Nothing bounded this loop. It spent provider budget and its
back-to-back runs caused other failures on warm sandboxes.
> - This pull request parks such a result as a visible wait, and puts
declared continuation wakes under the rewake throttle as a backstop.
> - The benefit is that an agent that waits for input stops and costs
nothing until a real response arrives.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Restart-chaos waves on master `683fd1e9a5` (no faults injected) showed
one task run 30 to 66 times, about 12 s apart. Example: wave
`w-20261111T190352-s5101`, task t02 (W2C), 65 runs in 13 minutes. Each
run reported `yielded` with `continuation.kind: "response_wake"` and the
summary "No changes made. This status-change wake does not trigger phase
2". Each run was woken by `issue_status_changed`, and each finalization
committed `live_continuation_registered` with an `enqueue_continuation`
effect of kind `response_wake`.

Root cause: `arbitrateNativeStatus()`
(`server/src/services/native-runtime/status-arbiter.ts`) only treats
`response_wake` as passive when `boardResponseWaitAuthorized` (from
`readNativeBoardResponseWaitSource`), external chat, or plan wait is
true. Otherwise it falls to the generic yielded branch, and
`status-decision-committer.ts` (`enqueue_continuation`) enqueues an
`issue_status_changed` wake to the same agent. `issue_status_changed` is
not in `THROTTLED_ISSUE_REWAKE_REASONS`, and the native committer writes
an `issue.updated` activity row with the run's id for every decision, so
the rewake throttle saw every native run as progress.

**Expected behavior**

A `response_wake` with no admitted response source parks the task. A
comment, an interaction answer or a status change by somebody else wakes
the agent. No path can loop without a bound.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run `tests/restart-chaos/main.ts --env local --adapters codex
--workloads W2,W2Q,W2C --concurrency 10 --tasks 10 --seed 5101
--lifecycle warm --triggers time`. W2/W2C tasks loop after phase 1.

## What Changed

- `status-arbiter.ts`: a `yielded` / `response_wake` result with no
admitted response source and no blocking remaining work now commits
`response_wake_waiting_for_input`, keeps the task `in_progress`, and has
no effects. Policy version is `phase6-v14`. Board, external chat, plan,
governance, dependency, pause and unfinished-work branches are unchanged
and still come first.
- `native-runtime/native-response-wake-wait.ts` (new) and
`recovery/service.ts`: recovery treats that applied decision as a
durable wait while it is the issue's latest decision, the issue is
`in_progress` with the same agent assignee, and no user comment arrived
after the run started. This applies to the stranded-work sweep and to
the paused-agent passive-wait check.
- `execution-projection.ts`: a committed run with this reason shows the
phase `waiting_for_answer`, label "Waiting for a reply", and a next
action that tells the user to comment or change the status. This shows
only while that decision is still the issue's latest decision and the
issue is `in_progress`; an older run shows "Completed".
- Backstop in `issue-rewake-throttle.ts` and `heartbeat/queue.ts`: an
`issue_status_changed` wake that carries a declared `continuationKind`
(the `enqueue_continuation` effect) is now a throttle candidate. The
native status committer's own `issue.updated` / status-decision activity
no longer counts as run progress or as new input. After two consecutive
successful runs with no issue-visible progress, such a wake waits for
the existing escalating cooldown (2 min, doubling, max 30 min). The
native status dispatcher (`dispatchNativeStatusWakeBatch`) does not drop
a throttled intent: it keeps the intent `queued`, reports the cooldown
deadline to the deferred-receipt worker, and dispatches it again when
the cooldown ends. Status wakes without a declared continuation (blocker
owner, notify owner, retry) are unchanged.
- Restart chaos: new enforced universal check U5 (`universal.ts`). A
task with more than 10 runs fails as `U5:run_budget_exceeded`
(`RESTART_CHAOS_U5_MAX_RUNS`). The README records the calibration.
- `doc/architecture/native-status-arbitration.md`: the decision table
and the wait rules.

## Verification

- RED on master (same reason as the waves):
`heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts` "parks a native response_wake that
no response admitted…" fails with decision `reasonCode:
"live_continuation_registered"` and effect `{ kind:
"enqueue_continuation", continuationKind: "response_wake" }`.
`heartbeat-issue-rewake-throttle.test.ts` "throttles a
same_agent/response_wake/retry continuation…" fails 3/3 because the wake
is admitted.
- GREEN: the integration test finalizes the run, dispatches native
status wakes and runs the stranded-work sweep three times. It asserts
one run total, one wake request, no recovery action, the task
`in_progress`, and the projection "Waiting for a reply".
- `heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts` "delays a no-progress native
continuation until the rewake cooldown…" finalizes a real `same_agent`
continuation after a no-progress run, dispatches twice (one throttle
receipt, intent stays `queued`, deadline equals `nextAllowedAt`), then
dispatches after the cooldown and gets the run. It fails when the
dispatcher drops the throttled intent.
- Focused suites pass: `heartbeat-process-recovery`,
`heartbeat-issue-rewake-throttle`, `status-arbiter`,
`native-status-arbiter-corpus`, `runtime-mode`, `execution-projection`,
`chat-run-milestone-work`, `heartbeat-dependency-scheduling`,
`heartbeat-run-summary` (904 tests), and all restart-chaos unit tests
(584 tests). `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` passes.
- Universal audit over the 17 saved waves of 2026-11-11: U5 flags 12
tasks, all looping tasks (12 to 66 runs), and 0 tasks on all-pass waves.
- Chaos rerun of local warm seed 5101 (W2, W2Q, W2C): result is added in
a comment on this PR.

## Risks

- Behavioral shift: a model that reports `response_wake` to mean
"continue now" no longer gets an immediate run. The task waits visibly
for a reply. The runner prompt already describes `response_wake` as a
real response wait, and `same_agent` stays available for server-owned
continuations.
- The throttle now applies to native runs. A chain of declared
continuations with no issue-visible output (no comment, document, work
product or other activity) waits for the cooldown after the second such
run. `same_agent` continuations are server-owned (repository
preparation), so this affects only repeated no-output chains.
- Old saved state: decisions committed under `phase6-v13` keep their
recorded effects. A run that finalizes after deploy uses the new policy.
No migration.
- Budget hard-stop behavior is unchanged.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, via Claude Code with
tool use (shell, file edits, test runs).
