## Thinking Path > - Paperclip manages work for AI agents. > - A native run can commit its result before its reply is saved. > - The response recovery worker saves replies from those committed results. > - It checks each candidate in series, so one task can delay unrelated tasks. > - This pull request checks up to four independent tasks at once. > - Each task keeps serial checks, and the existing coordinator owns retries and shutdown. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description **What existing behavior does this improve?** Recovery of committed native task replies. **Current behavior** The worker checks one candidate at a time in a batch of up to 25. A database lock or a slow read for one task delays replies for other tasks. **Proposed behavior** Check up to four company-and-task groups at once. Check candidates within each group in their existing order. Keep the current batch limit and company selection. **Reason and benefit** A ready task reply can be saved while another task waits for a database lock. The change reduces waiting under a reply backlog. **Breaking changes** Replies for different tasks can be saved in a different order. There are no API or schema changes. Other deadline workers keep serial dispatch. Related work: #17696 adds the recovery worker. #17501 reduces its read payloads. #18367 adds its timing spans. These changes are already merged. The PR search found no open change that adds this concurrency. ## What Changed - Add optional keyed concurrency to the shared scoped deadline worker. - Enable a limit of four for native response recovery, keyed by company and task. - Await all active checks before the pass ends. Retain per-candidate failure backoff, drain behavior and pending work. - Test concurrency limits, task order, company separation, drain/resume, shutdown, retries and idle wake behavior. - Add a PostgreSQL regression that holds one task's finalization row lock while a second task saves its exact accepted reply. - Document the worker's concurrency and sleep contract. ## Verification - The PostgreSQL lock regression fails with serial dispatch. It passes with this change. Both accepted replies are saved once after the lock is released. - `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/scoped-deadline-work.test.ts server/src/__tests__/delivery-work-coordinator.test.ts server/src/__tests__/company-work-batch.test.ts server/src/__tests__/deadline-work.test.ts server/src/services/execution-preparation-timing.test.ts` — 55 tests pass. - `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/services/presentation-ownership-read.test.ts` with its documented dedicated PostgreSQL URL — 21 tests pass. The disposable database was dropped. - `pnpm -r typecheck` — passes. - `pnpm build` — passes. - One matched local replay with 25 older pending replies and one fresh reply used the real worker, a 10-connection PostgreSQL pool and 8 ms delay in each network direction. The saved fresh reply was first observed after 29.193 s with serial dispatch and 9.798 s with this change. All 26 replies were saved exactly once in both runs, with no worker errors. Both disposable databases were dropped. This is one synthetic workload pair, not a staging measurement. - `pnpm test:run` was attempted. Embedded PostgreSQL could not initialize its template after five attempts, so the broad run was stopped. The changed PostgreSQL tests pass on the separate local server. Remote CI is green. This PR does not claim a measured staging speedup. - The [first CI browser shard](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41162257463/job/124422204506) failed during company cleanup after its task assertions and empty-run check passed. Company deletion hit the `activity_log_company_id_companies_id_fk` constraint. The fixture uses paused process agents and reported no runs. The one failed-jobs rerun passed all 45 browser tests. All CI checks are now green. ## Risks - Four checks can use more database connections than serial recovery. The limit applies to this queue only; the batch limit stays at 25. - The shared helper has more dispatch logic. Its default remains serial. Tests cover task order, retry deadlines, drain and waiting for active checks during shutdown. - This improves reply recovery under backlog or lock contention. It does not establish a target for total agent-turn latency. ## Model Used OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with code editing, tool use and local test execution. This session does not expose a more specific model ID or 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>
