## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work. > - Tasks keep execution identity and saved workspace files separate from control-plane updates. > - A scanner can have permission to reopen a case while its run cannot restore that case's files. > - Retry can also follow a preparation failure that has no recovery-action record. > - Both paths can accept valid work but leave the target unable to run. > - This change restores files under the target executor and saves admitted Retry authority on the canonical receipt. > - Existing workspace, user, source and successor checks still apply. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description **What happened?** An authorized agent updates another closed task. The route tries to restore the target workspace under the caller's run identity and returns `403 Task workspace run identity is unavailable`. A separate failure occurs when a normal board Retry follows a pre-provider preparation failure. Admission has no recovery-action row on which to save continuation authority. Dispatch then fails with `continuation_user_authorization_missing`. **Expected behavior** Accept the authorized task update. Restore its terminal workspace when the target's admitted executor starts. An admitted Retry must retain its exact dispatch authority even when the predecessor has no recovery-action record. **Steps to reproduce** 1. Complete a task with an isolated workspace. From a different running task, use an authorized comment or PATCH with `resume: true` on that closed task. 2. Separately, fail native preparation before provider work starts, with no recovery-action row. Submit board Retry, admit its successor, and build the execution continuation. 3. Before this change, the first path returns 403 and the second rejects its admitted authority. **Paperclip version or commit** Reproduced against `e968131efa7e63d321f3bcca8d47a62513c2efb4`. Rebased onto `afbc5a885b5`. **Deployment mode** Server-managed native task execution. Tests use real PostgreSQL and temporary workspace files. Related PRs: #16927 covers terminal workspace races. #17916 retains exact native export sources. Neither covers these route and Retry receipt failures. A GitHub search found no duplicate. ROADMAP.md was checked; this is a recovery bug fix. ## What Changed - Defer workspace restoration only for authorized cross-task comments and updates from a live run. Checkout keeps its existing workspace identity checks. - Restore the target's selected terminal workspace under its own admitted run. Preserve its saved files and existing source checks. Leave manually archived workspaces unchanged. - Store server-created continuation authority on the canonical admitted Retry receipt when no source recovery-action record exists. Existing action records remain authoritative. Read the fallback only after matching the company, task, agent, user, source, generation and successor. - Add route and PostgreSQL regression tests. Document both paths. ## Verification - Red: both cross-task route tests returned the observed 403 before the route fix. - Red: the target executor could not reuse its archived terminal workspace before the restoration fix. - Red: an admitted preparation Retry with no recovery-action row failed with `continuation_user_authorization_missing` before the receipt fix. - Green: 419 recovery and continuation tests pass, plus 183 focused route, environment and Retry tests. The assembled heartbeat test starts the agent in the same terminal worktree and verifies both its unpushed commit and uncommitted file bytes. It fails before the restoration fix. - Negative cases reject wrong Retry runs, users, source runs, generations, unadmitted receipts and missing authority. The original failed run stays unchanged. Workspace tests verify saved file bytes. - Full `pnpm build`, `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm check:module-boundaries` and `git diff --check` pass. - The full suite found an existing assembled chat authority regression: clearing a recovery-action record could be bypassed by the new fallback. The fix now writes the fallback only when that source has no action record. That assembled regression passes with the original test unchanged. - Full `pnpm test:run` is running again. Its first attempt also hit an unrelated ancestor skill-root lookup for a missing Slack skill. The rerun uses a temporary untracked link to the repository's own bundled skills. This link is excluded from the PR. Full-suite completion and hosted CI are pending. - Hosted CI has multiple runner interruptions. E2e shard 1/8, server shards 3/12, 8/12 and 12/12, and workspaces-a shard 1/2 show runner shutdown signals. E2e shard 5/8 and server shards 1/12 and 2/12 have GitHub annotations reporting lost runner communication; their logs return 404. The `ci / verify` assertion failed because the general-test matrix was cancelled. GitHub rejected job and failed-workflow reruns while this workflow is still running. Rerun the interrupted checks after it settles. - Greptile reviewed exact head `a1e3929aedb1ee3bfcd001f4ebb1510106bf4070` at 2026-11-04 17:37 UTC: 5/5, with no new blocking findings and no unresolved review threads. ## Risks - A deferred workspace restore can still fail at target admission. The run keeps the existing workspace failure path; this change does not bypass file recovery or provider stop checks. - Retry receipts now store server-created authority. Existing action receipts remain valid. No schema migration is required. - Local regression tests establish the software behavior. The new revision has not been deployed to a hosted instance. ## Model Used OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` through the Codex harness in T3 Code, with xhigh reasoning, repository inspection, tool use and code execution.
