## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work. > - Accounting, credential recovery, and sandbox cleanup can retain legacy files on an instance volume. > - Replacing that volume while files remain can lose unresolved work. > - There is no verified production backlog, so an empty installation needs no migration. > - The recovery owners must decide whether each record is valid and settled. > - This pull request adds a bounded file inventory and an optional cutover gate. > - The benefit is a safe check that preserves obligations without reading secret material. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description **Problem or motivation** Operators need to check the actual affected instance directories before replacing a web server. A skipped corrupt file or failed read must not appear clear. **Proposed solution** Add a Node script that inspects only the three legacy recovery directories for an explicitly chosen instance. Default mode reports counts. The optional check mode blocks when files or uncertainty remain. **Alternatives considered** A bulk migration system has no established backlog to migrate. Reimplementing the owner parsers could expose credentials and still would not prove settlement. This check never reads file bytes. **Roadmap alignment** This is a small operational prerequisite for safe cloud server replacement. It does not add a recovery backend or change resource ownership. Related recovery-owner changes: #18354 (accounting), #18352 (credentials), and #18357 (sandbox ownership). This inventory remains independently usable with existing files. ## What Changed - Add a pure classification policy and a bounded filesystem boundary. - Add `node scripts/recovery-cutover.mjs --instance-root /absolute/instance` with optional `--check`, directory override, and entry budget. - Report observed lower-bound counts and safe status summaries. Do not print paths, filenames, identifiers, raw errors, or file contents. - Add one dependency-free CLI acceptance suite and a Vitest bridge so the same cases run in normal server CI. - Document existing owner entry points, override selection, stopped producers, and retained-volume requirements. ## Verification - `node --test scripts/recovery-cutover.test.mjs`: 9 cases pass. The suite starts the actual CLI with synthetic legacy directories. - Pending receipts, nested credential files, orphan records, malformed bytes, temporary files, unreadable files, unsafe paths, symlinks, read failures, bounds, and configured overrides all block safely. - Empty or absent recovery directories clear. Source file bytes remain unchanged. Report-only mode and check-mode exit codes are tested. - `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/recovery-cutover.test.ts --pool=forks --maxWorkers=1`: the normal CI bridge passes and runs the same 9 cases. - Cached frozen dependency installation, script syntax checks, and `git diff --check` pass. The lockfile is unchanged. - Independent source review found the read-only boundary sound. - [Complete current-head CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41097614666) passed at `bf5cc7f067041c10cd0294ff26756678da943976`: 53 successful checks and two intended skips, including typecheck, full tests, build, and E2E. Greptile is 5/5 with no review threads. - One failed-job retry was needed for an existing heartbeat timing failure in server shard 4. The relevant heartbeat source and tests match the base branch. Local diagnostic runs had 61 pass/2 fail and 7 pass/1 fail, with changing timing failures; neither run is claimed as green. The bounded retry and all failed evidence are [recorded here](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18347#issuecomment-6529629804). No heartbeat code or test was changed. ## Risks - The scan is a point-in-time inventory. Stop producers for the final gate. It is not an atomic drain certificate or protection against hostile path mutation. - All files remain unverified. The check cannot certify validity or Postgres settlement. Existing owners retain that responsibility. - The scan does not inspect other instances, volumes, Runner delivery, or database obligations. It does not establish that production cutover is ready. - No migration, deletion, decryption, or replay command is added. Symlink paths are rejected, including system aliases; use canonical absolute paths. ## Model Used - OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol`, with reasoning, tool use, and code execution.
