## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work > - Native runs on remote sandboxes keep a warm sandbox and a verified harness backup so the next run continues the same provider session > - A run that starts while the previous run's workspace export is still saving gets a new (created) sandbox lease, because reuse skips an exporting sandbox > - When that run prepares the harness, it finds a backup but no recorded reusable lease, and it fails closed with `runner_harness_state_mismatch: backup_without_reusable_lease` > - #20278 accepted a destroyed source and a settled restore hold as retired backup sources, but not an idle warm source that is still `retained` for reuse > - This pull request accepts an idle warm source under the same proofs, claims it so it is never resumed again, and covers the resumed lease that the failed run leaves behind > - The benefit is that these recoveries continue the same session automatically instead of blocking the task ## Linked Issues or Issue Description Refs #20278 **What happened?** A monitor wake started about 90 seconds after the previous run on the same task finished. The previous run's warm sandbox lease was `retained` with policy `reuse_by_environment`, but its workspace export was still saving. Reuse skipped it and created a new sandbox. Workspace realization waited for the export (about 136 s) and restored the saved files. Then harness preparation found the previous run's backup (its lease stamp names this exact manifest, and no provider work followed it). The source lease was not destroyed and was not a restore hold, so the run failed with `native_session_recovery_failed: Error: runner_harness_state_mismatch: backup_without_reusable_lease` and the task was blocked. **What did you expect?** The run continues the same provider session. The idle source sandbox holds exactly the backed-up state, so restoring the backup into the new sandbox is safe. **Steps to reproduce** 1. Finish a warm native run on a remote sandbox. Its workspace export is still saving. 2. Start the next run on the same task before the export settles. 3. Reuse skips the exporting sandbox and creates a new lease. Harness preparation fails with `backup_without_reusable_lease`. 4. A retry resumes that new lease, which has no harness state, and fails with `resumed_unavailable`. ## What Changed - `native-retired-backup-source.ts`: an idle warm source is a third retired backup source. It must be `released` or `retained` with policy `reuse_by_environment`, its own run must be terminal and not the current run, and it must have no cleanup in flight, no restore hold or pending shutdown settlement, and no pending native workspace export. The backup stamp, single-owner chain, and later-provider-work checks still apply. - Before the restore, the idle source is claimed with a compare-and-swap on the checked row. The claim moves its `reusableSandboxLease` scope into a `reusableSandboxLeaseSuperseded` receipt. Reuse never resumes that older state again, and the next acquisition treats it as obsolete and destroys it. If a run resumed or changed the source first, the claim matches no row and the backup is not restored. - `environments.ts`: a cross-run reuse handoff now requires that the source row has no superseded receipt. The supersede claim and the handoff compete on the same row, so an acquisition that selected the source before the claim cannot resume it afterward. - The proof now rejects a backup whose source is the target allocation itself (`targetProviderLeaseId`). - `native-session-executor.ts`: a resumed lease whose sandbox has no harness state at all (`unavailable`) restores the backup under the same proof. This recovers the lease that the failed run left behind, so rows saved by older releases recover after deploy without a migration. - `doc/execution-semantics.md`: documents the idle-source rule, the supersede claim, and the resumed stateless lease. ## Verification - Red before the fix, green after: - `native-session-executor.test.ts` "restores a warm backup into a created lease only when an idle warm source finished its run and its export" failed with `backup_without_reusable_lease`. - "... a resumed lease never held the session and the warm source is idle" failed with `resumed_unavailable`. - `native-retired-backup-source.integration.test.ts` (real Postgres) "authorizes an idle retained/released warm source and claims it as superseded" failed (returned false). - Integration test "refuses a reuse handoff of a source superseded while its provider resume was pending" fails without the handoff guard and passes with it. - Safety rows stay refused: source run still running, workspace export pending, cleanup in flight, restore into its own allocation, stamp names another checkpoint, provider work after the backup, two host leases for one allocation, claim lost to another run, and a resumed lease that lost its own state. Existing destroyed-source and restore-hold rows are unchanged. - `cd server && npx vitest run src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts src/services/native-runtime/native-retired-backup-source.integration.test.ts src/services/native-runtime/remote-warm-session-recovery.test.ts` passes (1408 tests). - `npx tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json` passes. - `pnpm verify` exits 2 because a global CI input (`doc/execution-semantics.md`) changed. Required CI supplies the broad coverage. ## Risks - Previous-release story: no persisted shape changes. Lease rows saved by earlier releases carry forward. The new `reusableSandboxLeaseSuperseded` metadata key is additive. - The idle source is destroyed at the next acquisition for its workspace. Its state is the verified backup, which the restored lease now holds, so no work is lost. - Not covered: when the source cannot be proven retired or idle (for example a live owner or later provider work), the run still fails closed with the same named code. An automatic fresh-session fallback for that case is not in this PR. - The root trigger (reuse skips a sandbox while its export saves, then waits for that export) is unchanged. This PR does not change the reuse lookup. > For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR.
