## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work > - Plugin environment drivers with `supportsTasks` run agents as provider tasks, and warm runs keep a parked task for the next run > - A follow-up run can find that its parked task already stopped. Core then retires that task before it acquires a new one > - Core sent `stop`, `status`, and `complete` in the settle step. Then the plugin release hook sent `stop`, `status`, and `complete` again for the same task. Every call was on the critical path of the new run > - This pull request removes the repeated calls and keeps every call that does work no other call does > - The benefit is a faster start for a run whose parked task already stopped ## Linked Issues or Issue Description No issue exists. This follows the enhancement template. **What existing behavior does this improve?** The release of a plugin task lease that has already stopped. This occurs when a follow-up run finds that its parked warm task stopped. **Subsystem affected** Server: plugin environment drivers and the plugin Runner task lifecycle. **Current behavior** Core sends `stop`, `status`, and `complete` in the settle step. Then the plugin release hook sends `stop`, `status`, and `complete` again for the same task. Core also sends `stop` after resume already saw that the task stopped. On a hosted test deployment, 8 of 40 follow-up runs took this path. From the resume to the new acquire, these runs spent P50 1014 ms and P90 1080 ms. These 8 runs are the full overall P90 (1275 ms). **Proposed behavior** Core does not call the release hook when settle confirmed the stop and completed the same task. After a resume with no lease, Core sends `status` first, and sends `stop` only when `status` does not confirm the stop. **Reason and benefit** The repeated calls do no new work. Removing them saves about 355 ms, plus the `stop` share of about 187 ms, for each such run. These numbers are modeled from trace timings. **Breaking changes** None for the plugin API. A task driver must release task-scoped resources in its `status` or `complete` handling. The doc now says this. **Additional context** The settle `status` stays. Providers release task storage there, and it records the stop that gates the credential writeback and `complete`. ## What Changed - `settleDispatchedEnvironmentTask` now returns `"completed"` when it confirmed the stop and completed the task in this call, `"stopped"` when the lease was already settled, and `false` otherwise. - The plugin driver release does not call `environmentReleaseLease` when settle returned `"completed"`. In all other cases it calls the hook as before. - When `environmentResumeLease` returns no provider lease, the release sends `status` first. It sends `stop` (and a second `status`) only when that `status` does not confirm `executionStopped: true`. Startup and startup-cleanup leases keep the old `stop` first order. - The cleanup sweep (`retryPendingSandboxTeardown`) and `destroyRunLease` do not change. A settle failure still leaves the lease in `pending_cleanup`, and the sweep runs `stop`, `status`, `complete`, and the release hook. - `doc/plugins/PLUGIN_RUNNER_EXECUTION.md` tells drivers about the new order and that task-scoped resources must be released in `status` or `complete`. ### Dispatch count for a stopped parked task (resume to new acquire) | | Calls | | --- | --- | | Before | resume, stop, status, (credentials), complete, release hook (stop, status, complete), acquire: 9 provider calls (10 with Codex writeback) | | After | resume, status, (credentials), complete, acquire: 4 provider calls (5 with Codex writeback) | The modeled saving is about 540 ms for each such run: about 355 ms for the repeated release, and about 187 ms for the settle `stop` and `status`. This pull request keeps the settle `status`, so the real saving is about 355 ms plus the `stop` share of the 187 ms. These numbers are modeled from trace timings. They are not measured on this branch. ### What covers each removed call - Release hook `stop`, `status`, `complete`: settle already sent `stop` and `status` and checked `executionStopped: true` for the same task id (`lease.providerLeaseId`), then sent `complete`. The skip uses settle's success as its condition, not the code path. - Settle `stop` after a resume with no lease: the next `status` must report `executionStopped: true`. If it does not, Core sends `stop` and `status` as before. ### What each kept call protects - Settle `status`: providers release task storage and cancel preparations here. It also writes `runnerTaskExecutionStopped`, which the credential writeback and the `complete` bookkeeping need. - Credential writeback: Codex can rotate its token. The writeback must land before the new task installs credentials. It still runs inside `complete`, before the new acquire. - Settle `complete`: it retires every run lease that owned the task and clears the dispatch marker. - Release hook when settle did not complete a dispatched task in this call: the provider may still hold the lease. ## Verification - `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared --filter @paperclipai/plugin-sdk build` - `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` - `npx vitest run src/__tests__/plugin-warm-tasks.integration.test.ts src/__tests__/plugin-task-credential-writeback.test.ts src/__tests__/environment-task-runtime.test.ts` - Related suites: `environment-runtime`, `plugin-runner-task.integration`, `task-creation-recovery.integration`, `heartbeat-plugin-environment`, `native-startup-cleanup-recovery`, `plugin-environment-driver-ready-recovery`, `environment-task-authority.integration`, `native-workspace-warm-reuse`, `remote-workspaces.integration`, `legacy-workspace-restore-recovery`, `plugin-task-source-recovery.integration`, `managed-plugin-environments`. Locally, all of these pass except `heartbeat-plugin-environment` "inherits the instance default environment across companies…". That test also fails locally with the `origin/master` service files, so this change does not cause it. The existing `plugin-runner-task.integration` same-run replacement test now expects no release hook after a completed settle. New tests: - The stopped parked path sends exactly resume, `status`, `complete`, acquire. The `status` goes to the old task. - A resume with no lease for a task that still runs sends `status`, `stop`, `status`, `complete`. - A failure at `status`, `complete`, or `stop` leaves the lease in `pending_cleanup`, and the sweep then sends `stop`, `status`, `complete`, and the release hook. - With an observed stop, the Codex writeback runs before `complete`. A writeback failure leaves the lease for cleanup, and the retry writes back and completes. - A startup-cleanup lease still sends `stop` first. ## Risks - A third-party task driver that releases resources only in `onEnvironmentReleaseLease` would not get that call after a completed settle. The doc now states the requirement. The cleanup sweep still calls the hook after any failure. - A driver that returns no lease from resume while the task still runs costs one extra `status`. The behavior stays correct. - No migration. No API change for plugins. ## Model Used - Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), via Claude Code with tool use and code execution. ## 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 - [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 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
