Devin FoleyandPaperclip c9213d1be4 fix: send saved queued messages after Stop (#17959)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - People can save follow-up messages while an agent runs.
> - Stop preserves those messages and stops the active execution.
> - The queue removed its delivery controls when that execution ended.
> - Native admission also refused an explicit resend of older queued
input.
> - This change adds Send for a stopped queue and records fresh board
intent.
> - The saved message can continue through normal cleanup and admission
checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A person queued a message with a screenshot while an agent was starting.
Steering was not yet available. They stopped the run. The message
remained visible, but no control could send it. Native queue delivery
also rejected this transition.

**Expected behavior**

A stopped queue offers Send. The click preserves message IDs, content,
attachments and original authors. It starts at most one eligible
continuation. Stop remains effective until the person gives new
direction.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a native task and queue a second message.
2. Stop the active run before it consumes that message.
3. Open the task after cleanup. Observe the saved message with no send
control.

Refs #16965 for the queue-control change and #15015 for stopped
conversation recovery. No open repair for this exact transition was
found.

## What Changed

- Show Send for a saved deferred queue with no active run.
- Accept the existing board queue action for a stopped native target.
Keep live native interruption restricted.
- Use the server-recorded click time to authorize older native messages.
Reject stale, malformed and wrong-actor intents.
- Reuse normal queue dispatch, revision checks, cleanup proofs and
execution admission, including a failed native predecessor after a
verified Send.
- Ignore a fully committed, successful recovered export when admitting a
fresh message, while retaining the wait for results still committing.
- Honor an applied `/new` conversation boundary while retaining native
execution holds until the existing stop and cleanup checks verify them.
Workspace holds also survive reset. Check the newest failed or cancelled
native execution even when older recovery actions exist.
- Keep native automatic delivery separate from the explicit Send action.
Update execution and access documentation.

## Verification

- Meaningful regressions failed before the fixes: stopped queues lacked
Send, native admission refused fresh intent, cleanup and dispatch
receipts were missing, deferred rows disappeared, live plan Interrupt
rejected its own receipt, and Agent Chat `/new` inherited an old
non-workspace execution hold.
- Six assembled-wakeup cases fail before the reset cleanup fix. All 11
reset/history cases pass after it: live processes, missing identity,
quarantined cleanup, remote leases and live controllers remain held;
verified cleanup proceeds and retires the hold. Two more cases fail
before the fallback fix and pass after it: Send verifies a stopped or
live native predecessor despite a later reset receipt and no recovery
record.
- **525 server tests pass** across seven queue admission, route,
dispatch, envelope, provenance, blocker and conversation files. **343
queue/thread UI tests** also pass. Server/UI TypeScript, token and map
guards pass. The final scoped server typecheck also builds native Runner
successfully.
- The latest regressions prove that completed recovered exports permit
fresh input, and clearing conversation history still requires old native
stop and cleanup verification; an unsafe workspace still blocks after
`/new`; failed native Send reaches actual continuation dispatch with the
original queued comment. A result still being committed remains
deferred. History plus a newer Stop cannot hide a missing
process/controller/lease receipt.
- The real Chromium Stop/Send journey passes on current head
`75fa5e7222c59f43ff7ac326e81093bc9da28330`: queue a follow-up, Stop,
reload, explicitly Send, then verify exactly one useful response and no
live run. Earlier browser journeys cover legacy Interrupt, interruption
during a write and Stop followed by a new direction. These use an
isolated app/database and controlled ACP fixture, not an external AI
account or a staging deployment.
- Negative cases retain actor, company, issue, assignee, queue and
cancellation-receipt bindings; cleanup/process/workspace/controller
holds; approvals; pause and budget gates. Typed responses keep their
original resolver and immutable result.
- Full local recursive typecheck stopped in unchanged Rust Runner
compilation with ENOSPC, so the chained full tests/build did not run.
All hosted CI gates pass on final commit
`75fa5e7222c59f43ff7ac326e81093bc9da28330`, including typecheck, tests,
build and E2E. Apex review on that commit is 5/5, with no unresolved
findings. Earlier unrelated CI failures involved PostgreSQL
fixture-cleanup deadlock and an unchanged decision-expiry deadline
assertion; the latter's 20 cases pass locally without source changes. No
assertions or limits were weakened. Local resource cleanup was limited
to this task's verified completed test processes and rebuildable npm
caches.

## Risks

- Send can authorize a new turn for a saved message after Stop. A Send
click must be newer than the stopped execution; a live plan Interrupt is
bound to the cancellation receipt produced by that same click. It does
not imply that cleanup finished or that an external action is safe to
replay.
- The existing endpoint and intent format are reused. No schema or
credential change is required. Live native steering and legacy
interruption keep their existing paths.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, repository inspection, tool
use and code execution. The session does not expose the exact serving
model ID or context window size.

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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:

  1. Sub-features — stable backticked local keys, full capability IDs, and observable behavior/states, such as - `company`: `onboarding/company` — create a company.
  2. How to get to it (user POV) — one H3 backticked entry-point ID per surface.
  3. Driving it with — starts with Preconditions:; repeat each entry-point H3, with Automated: and Manual: paragraphs. Name test scope and gaps honestly.
  4. 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.
