## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work > - A control-plane restart between two durable writes leaves an in-progress record owned by a dead process > - Random restart-chaos waves found these 20 ms–1 s windows only by luck > - #19937 added `crashPoint(name)`, and #19938 put it at 20 durable write boundaries > - Nothing yet runs a task, kills the server at a chosen point, restarts it, and checks the plan's invariants > - This pull request adds that on-demand suite, as a local command and as a manual CI workflow (not a required check, per Decision 2) > - The benefit is a repeatable work list: which boundary breaks which invariant, for Phases 2–4 ## Linked Issues or Issue Description Refs #19831 (plan, Phase 5 and Decision 2). Refs #19861 (report-only reconciler used for I1–I7). Stacked on #19938 (call sites), which is stacked on #19937 (helper). **Problem** The named crash points cannot be exercised end to end. No command arms one point, runs real agent tasks across it, restarts, and grades the result. **Expected behavior** `node scripts/crash-points.mjs --points <glob> --kinds <id> --adapters <list>` runs one wave per selected point and reports each point as pass, fail (with failing R rules and violated invariants), not reached, or harness error. A `workflow_dispatch` workflow runs the same thing on demand. ## What Changed - **Runtime arming.** `PAPERCLIP_CRASH_POINT_CONTROL=<file>`, in the shared helper and the runner mirror. Each hit reads `<token> <name>[:<nth>]`, and a new token resets the count. It is test mode only: `NODE_ENV=production` ignores it, and the disarmed path is still one comparison. - **`tests/restart-chaos/main.ts --crash-point <a>:<nth>,<b>:<nth>,...`** (config, types, ledger): - one booted server and no Vite UI; - per point: take an invariant baseline, launch the point's batch, arm the point, then on rest disarm it and check invariants as violations that are new since the baseline; - every task is graded R1–R6 and T; - `crash-point.json` (v2) holds one entry per point. - **`tests/restart-chaos/supervisor.ts`:** - every spawn gets the control file; - a SIGKILL whose receipt names the child's pid is restarted like K1: the control file is emptied first, the owned tree is killed, and a replacement starts. A failed tree cleanup fails the fault; - the isolated instance pins `PAPERCLIP_IN_WORKTREE=false` (a `.paperclip/.env` above the checkout otherwise suppressed all scheduling); - `RESTART_CHAOS_HEALTH_TIMEOUT_MS`. - **`tests/restart-chaos/invariants.ts`:** - the Phase 1 report-only pass with `record: false`: two real-clock passes for I1 and I2, and one pass 15 minutes ahead for I3, I4 and I7; - spool kinds are read from the wave's instance; - an unfinished pass is a harness error; - each violation carries its wake and run state as evidence. - **`tests/restart-chaos/crash-points.ts` and `scripts/crash-points.mjs`:** - select points by glob, kind and environment, and run them in one wave; - a per-point outcome: pass, fail, not_reached or harness_error; - `SUMMARY.md` with a violation evidence column. - **`.github/workflows/crash-points.yml`**, manual only, under the paid-workflow contract: - a credential-free `authorize` job; - a `suite` job in `runner-e2e-paid` whose first step reauthorizes; - a frozen install with `--ignore-scripts` and no shared cache; - only the selected adapters' keys; - the workflow is added to both security-test allowlists. - **Docs:** "Crash-point suite" in `tests/restart-chaos/README.md`, and "Built (Phase 5)" plus the first work list in the plan. ## Verification - Focused tests: - `pnpm exec vitest run --config tests/restart-chaos/vitest.config.ts tests/restart-chaos/crash-points.test.ts`; - `cd packages/shared && npx vitest run src/crash-points.test.ts`: 15 tests, including runtime arming in a real child process; - `node --test scripts/__tests__/release-verify-workflow.test.mjs`: 72 tests; - `tests/runner-e2e/workflow-security.test.ts`: 19 tests. - Typecheck: `node scripts/typecheck-test-projects.mjs tests/restart-chaos` passes. - Loop line: question "how long is one crash-point loop?" | loop: `node scripts/crash-points.mjs --points <one>` (codex A1) | elapsed 2.7 min end to end: boot 9 s, crash 9 s after arming, replacement ready in 6 s, rest about 2 min | result: one point alone takes about 3 min. Before this change it took about 15 min (one cold boot per point, Vite UI, host at load 77). - Full local run, 14 points, codex A1, 11.8 min in all: - every point was reached (the server killed itself at each one, and the replacement came back); - 11 pass; - `workspace.finalize.after_start_before_copyback` and `workspace.finalize.after_copyback_before_done` fail I2 and R6: a `workspace_finalize` operation stays running after the run succeeded; - `wake.claim.after_run_running_before_wakeup_claimed` reports I4. Its evidence shows the wake failed with "…retrying once", and the retry delivered the work, so this is the known refusal-regex false positive. - The 6 Daytona-only points were not run. ## Risks - Test harness and an on-demand workflow only. No product code changes. - `.github/**` needs a CODEOWNER review. The workflow uses provider keys, so it refuses non-default branches and actors that are not on the allowlist, like `runner-full-stack-e2e.yml`. - `PAPERCLIP_IN_WORKTREE=false` is pinned in every chaos wave, not only crash-point waves. A chaos instance is never a worktree dev instance, so scheduling must not be suppressed. ## Model Used - Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, via Claude Code with tool use (shell, file edits). ## 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 - [ ] All Paperclip CI gates are green - [ ] Greptile is 5/5 with no open P2s, recommendations, or follow-ups - [x] I will address all Greptile and reviewer comments before requesting merge 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
