Native Stop could also leave the shared cancellation state at requested after remote termination was confirmed. A new GitHub reply saved during cleanup could then remain queued because cleanup did not ask its original inbound owner to reconsider the receipt. After a managed snapshot update, an existing native agent could also need qualification while the generic environment Test required instance-admin access. **Expected behavior** Show the current saved-work state. Acknowledge Stop only after exact termination proof. Let an authorized operator use the existing saved-agent Run test to qualify its current computer. After cleanup, recheck the saved reply's current authority and admit it once as new input. Preserve the stopped run and uncertain external effects. **Steps to reproduce** 1. Stop an active native turn before it returns a semantic result. 2. Send a new authorized external reply while cleanup is pending. 3. Let workspace recovery and provider cleanup finish. Inspect the run instruction, Stop acknowledgement and queued reply. Related work: #17594 preserves native processes through controller outages. #17401 addresses a separate bootstrap failure. This pull request does not replace those fixes. ## What Changed - Use the exact run's workspace recovery receipt for task and run guidance, including the Activity ledger. - Retire an obsolete exact-session notice through the existing bounded reconciler. Preserve the separate no-replay hold. - Write the shared native Stop acknowledgement only after the audited Stop intent and every exact remote lease receipt match. - Delegate saved external input to the live inbound owner. Recheck its source, actor, endpoint, principal and conversation generation. Promote the same receipt in the transaction that creates its new run. - Use that owner from the cleanup callback and existing stranded-queue catch-up after a lost callback or restart. A denied source cannot abort other items. - Reuse the current private task directory after a successful fresh retry. Re-read the company/task/workspace binding and validate the canonical stable or attempt namespace without recreating missing files; keep a later fresh retry separate. - Extend the existing agent-scoped qualification owner to native agents. The clean saved-agent Test qualifies its exact computer before runtime testing. Reuse a current proof; require a real probe and verified cleanup for a stale proof. Preserve draft tests and metadata-only external/pool previews. - Update execution semantics, capability maps and the recovery verification recipe. Add a production-page Storybook interaction for the normal native Test. ## Verification - **Red:** persisted recovery states returned stale instructions; an exact terminated native lease left shared Stop requested; the real GitHub subscribed-message fixture left zero successors after cleanup. The controlled baseline restored the previous production source, reproduced the failure, then restored the fixed bytes with matching SHA-256 hashes. - **Green:** 382 durable-chat, native-continuation, Stop and recovery tests pass. The real GitHub/PostgreSQL handoff matrix passes 12/12. It covers callback, application restart, callback/sweep race, valid input behind a deleted source, and denial for unknown stop, wrong allocation, paused endpoint, revoked principal, deleted or changed source, changed conversation generation and foreign scope. Repeated callbacks preserve one receipt, its actor, one successor and the unchanged stopped predecessor. - **Workspace continuation red/green:** the real PostgreSQL preparation flow created a fresh attempt and saved a marker, then rejected the next ordinary turn with the same binding mismatch observed in deployed use. The repaired preparation and filesystem suites pass 86/86: stable and attempt-root reuse, saved-marker preservation, a later clean sibling, changed current bindings, foreign company/task, closed workspace, traversal, missing path and symlink refusal. No task row reset or old-turn replay is used. - **Qualification red/green:** a native saved-agent qualification returned 422, and its normal Test skipped qualification. The repaired path passes 224 qualification/immutable-snapshot/environment tests and 176 UI/upgrade tests. It covers revoked authority, foreign or changed computer, current-proof reuse, failed/missing proof, draft settings, settings changed during the probe, and external/pool previews. On exact current source, the real local Harness / Runtime UI also qualified a newly saved disposable Computer with missing proof through actual Daytona, then completed the actual OpenCode/OpenRouter hello probe using `openrouter/deepseek/deepseek-v4.1-flash-1017`. Supported availability changed from Legacy-only to Paperclip Runner after proof persistence. Qualification and runtime leases both completed normal release/cleanup. The five prior task run IDs were unchanged; no task wake was created. This is macOS source-server/UI with real Linux Daytona and provider services, not a hosted UI claim. Test probes are archived by the existing inspection contract; release does not claim physical deletion. - Full workspace `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, token, map and diff checks pass at `f6450f4739fc8141815b8b7c35fde22a655c5f90`. The broad local `pnpm test:run` passed 24,899 tests and reported one existing nested-clone test timeout at 15 seconds. The complete failing file then passed 21/21 with the normal timeout; the exact case also passed on the pinned earlier baseline. The broad runner stopped before its later groups. No timeout or production workaround was added. Prior head `f6450f4` has 53 successful checks, two conditional Storybook skips and Greptile 5/5 with no inline threads. New workspace-reuse head `fcb13399ec70f92f71bd8250081251dca3f48962` passes workspace typecheck, full build, 86 scoped tests, maps and diff checks; Current-head CI has 53 successful checks and two conditional Storybook skips; Greptile is 5/5 with no inline findings. Deployed ordinary-turn reuse acceptance passed as described below. - **Hosted Stop proof:** the real GitHub issue-mention path used native OpenCode, `openrouter/deepseek/deepseek-v4.1-flash-1017`, Daytona and an exact low-trust task boundary. Normal UI Stop interrupted an active Bash call. Native and shared acknowledgements matched the exact lease. Automatic recovery saved exactly `STARTED\n` (8 bytes), with no finish marker. Reload showed Stopped and saved work recovered. Only the original cancelled run remained. Normal five-minute cleanup completed its exact provider-destruction transition. - **Limits:** the provider buffered command output, so the marker was read after recovery. The approved local provider credential could not inspect the hosted sandbox; its 404 is not deletion proof. Cleanup success comes from the exact lease's platform destruction transition. An earlier hosted stale instruction disappeared after rollout with unchanged raw run/action data; that historical cause remains unexplained. Original incident holds and publication receipts were untouched. - **Hosted handoff proof:** after QA deployed the combined candidate containing `46b2e99`, startup admitted the previously saved GitHub author reply without another comment, Retry or manual action. The new native run used the exact original wake receipt and saved comment. It completed once, committed an external-response wait, preserved the stopped predecessor, emptied the queue and left the task In review. The answer appeared in the original GitHub conversation. Workspace finalization and the exact lease's normal destruction transition succeeded. - **Hosted workspace proof:** on the combined candidate containing `fcb13399`, normal Retry preserved the original authenticated GitHub request and completed a fresh native attempt. One later ordinary same-head author reply then completed in the exact same workspace ID and attempt directory, with no Retry/fresh directive. Its input tree digest matched the Retry's finalized digest; final copyback preserved that digest. The persisted assessment row and all five prior run records were unchanged, exactly one new reply run completed, and the task returned to In review with an empty queue and no live run. Both exact leases completed normal verified destruction. This used real native OpenCode, the exact DeepSeek/OpenRouter model and Daytona, without workspace-row repair or a new remote marker. - **Publication limit:** the workspace audit compares the persisted assessment and run history. The ordinary reply exposed a separate destination-summary fallback that changed the visible GitHub summary despite the preserved assessment row. The publication track is repairing that behavior; this proof does not claim the visible summary was preserved. - **Deployment boundary:** current-head CI/review and hosted same-source Retry/ordinary-workspace reuse acceptance passed. The separate visible-summary publication failure remains owned by the publication track. Combined hosted UI confirmation of the native-agent Test path is coordinated separately. Actual missing-proof UI/provider qualification has passed in the isolated local instance above; prior hosted Stop and same-input handoff proof remains separate. No merge or deployment is performed by this pull request. ## Risks Recovery state and termination receipts must match the exact source run and allocation. Missing or foreign proof keeps the hold. The chat owner must retain the original receipt and actor and recheck current authority. Cleanup cannot grant authority or replay the stopped turn. Existing native ownership, Stop, budget, permission and uncertain-effect guards remain in place. ## Model Used OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol (`gpt-6.1-sol`) through Codex, with reasoning, repository tools, source editing and test execution.

Paperclip feature map
Start here when reproducing a user-facing bug, verifying a change, or deciding which surfaces a fix must cover. Each recipe describes what a person can do, where they can do it, the expected result, and the evidence needed to verify it. Product behavior is still governed by the implementation spec.
The sibling agent access map records APIs, agent entry points and permission boundaries for the same capability IDs. Follow the shared map contract when maintaining either map.
The chat scenario catalog describes how people might request these capabilities in conversation, including setup and permission branches. These are planned Product E2E journeys, not live coverage results.
IDs and references
Use the existing IDs in issues, PRs, Storybook annotations, tests, and verification evidence:
| Reference | Example | Defined by |
|---|---|---|
| Feature ID | onboarding |
The recipe filename without .md. |
| Capability ID | onboarding/company |
The feature ID plus a key from its Sub-features list, separated by /. |
| Entry-point reference | onboarding.md#web-wizard | The recipe filename plus its entry-point heading. The local entry-point ID is web-wizard. |
For example, report verifying onboarding/company through web-wizard.
Capabilities describe behavior; entry points identify the surface used to exercise
it. Entry-point IDs are separate from generated capability IDs. Both maps and
Storybook use the same full capability IDs. Each child page states its feature
ID; recipe bullets show the full capability ID beside the local key, and access
companions show it beneath the local heading. Local keys remain unchanged for
parsing and existing anchors.
Keep recipe filenames, sub-feature keys, and entry-point keys stable when changing display titles or navigation. Renaming a filename or key changes its references. The section headings below are navigation labels, not additional IDs.

Open the published Storybook guide for the assembled feature and capability index. The Markdown recipes in this directory are the authored source. Each has a same-named agent-access companion.
Run node scripts/storybook-catalog.mjs to generate local navigation in
maps/generated/feature-map.md, maps/generated/agent-access-map.md, and the
Storybook guide. Recipes are discovered automatically from their navigation
metadata; generation does not depend on this high-level index.
Before driving a journey
- Use this checkout's isolated test drive for manual product checks. It creates a temporary instance and prints its URL and data directory. Do not guess that a server on port 3100 belongs to you.
- Record the commit, URL, company, login role, relevant experimental settings, adapter, runtime mode, and live versus simulated dependencies. Use disposable tasks and provider resources. A fresh test drive creates a company and CEO, but no task or first run.
- Use the current navigation and company prefix. Paths in recipes omit that prefix. Record whether the streamlined or production shell is selected; Agent Chat, chat connectors, and the combined Inbox/Tasks view have separate gates. A hidden surface is an unmet prerequisite, not a successful test.
- Run the smallest relevant test first. Vitest commands below run from the repository root after installing dependencies. Playwright recipes use their named configuration and its isolated environment, not an unrelated running instance. Reserve expensive runner/provider tests for the behavior at issue.
- Exercise the actual user action, inspect its result, reload, and verify the persisted state or continuation. Use read-only API checks to corroborate UI evidence; creating state through the API does not prove the creation UI.
For agent-driven acceptance work, start with the Paperclip verification skill for an isolated launch, ownership/readiness checks, browser driving, evidence, and cleanup. It uses this directory as its feature map. The existing dev-workspace run/verify skill and evaluation skill describe runtime ownership and evidence handling. Reuse them; this map introduces no environment launcher, credentials, scheduled job, or second test framework.
Evidence contract
Report each entry point as passed, failed, blocked (with its missing
prerequisite), or not run. Include the feature ID, full capability IDs and
entry-point ID (for example, onboarding/company through web-wizard), plus the
recipe link, commit/environment, user action, expected and observed result,
command/exit code, and evidence links. Screenshots or traces should show both the
action and the discriminating result. Include task/run/request IDs when relevant,
without secrets.
A fix is verified across its affected surfaces only when each has evidence or an explicit reason it does not apply. Shared code alone does not prove parity. Keep product regressions visible; do not change the recipe to bless a failure. For Paperclip-assigned work, attach evidence through the artifact workflow.
Inventory and remaining depth
The generated maps/generated/coverage.json lists the current non-test TSX page
modules and the recipes that directly reference each one. An unreferenced module
is a documentation candidate, not proof that its feature is absent or untested.
Remaining workflow limits live in each recipe. Inventory and example associations
describe documentation scope, not runtime health.
Maintaining the reference
The map documents user journeys. It does not execute them automatically; generated inventories record documentation scope rather than live test health. Product E2E reports reuse these capability IDs through the journey associations. Their coverage view shows which scenarios in a campaign are linked to each capability and the associated test results. An association or passing scenario does not certify the whole capability; unselected and unmapped journeys remain distinct.
When maintaining a recipe, compare its entry points and expected results with
the current source. Check that linked tests still exercise the stated behavior
and that local references still exist. Keep the same-named agent access companion
and stable sub-feature IDs aligned when behavior or access changes. Source-only
access inventory remains distinct from live verification. Run
node scripts/check-maps.mjs after map edits for structural/reference checks;
follow the shared contract for the source and behavioral checks it cannot perform.
Each recipe starts with a small frontmatter navigation record, then an H1:
---
navigation: {"section":"Tasks and conversations","sectionOrder":20,"order":10}
---
The H1 supplies the feature title, and the first paragraph supplies its summary. Orders are local to the section; leave gaps for additions. Equal orders use the stable filename as a tie-breaker. Keep a section's name/order consistent across its recipes. Discovery uses the recipe and companion; keep the readable ID index above aligned when features or capability IDs change.
Optional ### Storybook verification guidance lives inside the recipe's Gotchas
section. Each level-four heading contains a backtick-quoted capability key and
has Scope (ui, cli, or browser),
Storybook, Production, and Sources fields. These are verification instructions
and intentional scope limits, not run results or a required story for every API.
The generated gap report combines this guidance with current story associations.
After frontmatter, each recipe starts with an H1 and a user-visible description, then exactly:
- Sub-features — stable backticked local keys, full capability IDs, and observable behavior/states,
such as
- `company`: `onboarding/company` — create a company. - How to get to it (user POV) — one H3 backticked entry-point ID per surface.
- Driving it with — starts with
Preconditions:; repeat each entry-point H3, withAutomated:andManual:paragraphs. Name test scope and gaps honestly. - Gotchas — misleading look-alikes, feature gates, and invalid evidence.
New or updated entries follow
Poteto's feature-map examples.
Existing entries with a Driving it heading can adopt the named harness when
their recipes are updated. The original format was inspired by
Omnigent's feature map.
Paperclip's recipes and checks follow its own task model and test infrastructure.
