fix: continue conversations after confirmed remote runner stop (#13254)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Users can stop a run and send another message on the same task.
> - Remote runners need evidence from their sandbox provider that
execution stopped.
> - Local process checks cannot prove that a remote process exited.
> - This pull request records provider stop receipts and uses them for
conversation admission.
> - New user messages can proceed after confirmed cleanup without
repeating interrupted actions.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13237 and #13239. Related: #13163 covers app-restart recovery;
this change covers an explicit stop followed by a new user message.

**What happened?**

A stopped remote Claude ACP task kept its execution hold after Daytona
cleanup succeeded. Native runners also rejected remote process
identities and retained stale session cleanup gates. A message sent
during cleanup could stay deferred after the sandbox stopped.

**Expected behavior**

After the provider confirms that the old execution stopped, a new user
message starts a fresh turn. Pending user messages must not need another
message to trigger admission. Prior action outcomes remain recorded.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a long-running task in Daytona with a legacy Claude ACP or
native ACP runner.
2. Cancel the run while its tool is active.
3. Send a new message immediately, or after cleanup completes.
4. Observe the execution hold despite the old sandbox having stopped.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on master at 7b829efdf6. The
branch is rebased on current master.

## What Changed

- Add optional provider stop receipts to sandbox release and destroy
hooks. Old plugins remain compatible.
- Bind receipts to the company, run, lease, and provider resource.
Failed cleanup cannot supply stop authority.
- Acknowledge legacy remote cancellation after confirmed termination.
- Admit native user continuations using remote receipts instead of host
process checks.
- Retire only the settled cleanup owner matching the stopped company,
run, and provider resource. Isolate cleanup gates between remote
sandboxes, including two sandboxes owned by one run.
- Reconsider user messages deferred during remote cleanup through normal
admission, including successful later cleanup retries.
- Preserve receipts through cleanup retries and inline cleanup after
failed startup.
- Permit provider destruction after a terminal remote checkpoint
failure. Busy ownership still blocks destruction.
- Add regression tests and update execution semantics.
- Give the real preview fixture ten seconds for cold startup. Reuse
release-mode Rust artifacts for the filtered parity checks, avoiding a
duplicate debug test build that exhausted CI disk twice; test filters
and assertions are unchanged.

## Verification

- Recursive typecheck and build passed.
- Targeted server, Daytona plugin, and native runtime tests passed. They
cover missing or mismatched receipts, failed cleanup, local process
protection, exact cleanup ownership, and a message sent during cleanup.
- Live Daytona tests passed for legacy Claude ACP, native per-turn,
native warm, and a newly created native runner using disposable
sandboxes. Each original run was cancelled; its explicit follow-up
completed with no execution hold. The disposable case confirmed a new
sandbox after deletion.
- Native tests used the provider's Opus 5 selector, `opus[1m]`, and the
Linux runner bundle from the sandbox image. Existing checkpoint/sync
finalization warnings remained visible before the native follow-ups
reached committed success. This change does not repair those separate
warnings or guarantee recovery of uncheckpointed files.
- A direct live provider test also passed with the final delete-wait
change: the destroy hook returned its receipt only after Daytona
reported the sandbox destroyed. The final Daytona plugin suite passed
all 153 tests; its build passed.
- After rebasing on master, 284 targeted server/plugin tests and 313
native executor tests passed. The native session runtime suite passed
all 128 tests.
- The review regression passed all 145 tests across the continuation,
environment runtime, and pending-cleanup sweep suites. Recursive
typecheck and build passed again after that fix.
- The security review's exact-resource finding is fixed. Cleanup
completion requires the same provider-resource scope used during session
creation. All 128 native runtime tests, 61 server continuation/cleanup
tests, recursive typecheck, and build passed after this fix. The
two-sandboxes-in-one-run regression proves one receipt cannot retire the
other quarantine.
- Greptile reviewed the final commit at 5/5, the security scan passed,
and no review threads remain unresolved. The final native executor suite
also passed all 313 tests.
- The full local suite reached 10,616 passing tests before stopping on
four failures. All four now pass in focused reruns: the final-code
continuation/teardown suites, the attachment suite, and the native
session test after building its required fake-provider binary. The
original full run overlapped source edits and did not reach the
remaining groups; it is not counted as a full-suite pass.
- The preview exposure suite passed all 25 applicable tests (three
Linux-only tests skipped locally) after the startup allowance change.
Both release-mode Rust parity commands passed locally. All final-head PR
checks passed, including full server/workspace/browser test groups, full
native runner verification, build, typecheck, canary dry-run, and the
aggregate gates.

## Risks

- A provider must return a receipt only after confirmed termination.
Incorrect provider claims could permit overlapping execution.
- Older providers without receipts retain the existing hold. Missing
evidence, failed cleanup, active ownership, pauses, approvals, and
budgets still block admission.
- This change preserves unknown action outcomes and old checkpoints. It
does not authorize replay or alter historical runs.
- No database migration or telemetry contract change is required.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with repository inspection, code execution,
and browser tools. The exact backend revision and context-window size
are not exposed in this session.

README.md

@paperclipai/plugin-daytona

Published Daytona sandbox provider plugin for Paperclip.

This package lives in the Paperclip monorepo, but it is intentionally excluded from the root pnpm workspace and shaped to publish and install like a standalone npm package. That lets operators install it from the Plugins page by package name without introducing root lockfile churn for Daytona's SDK dependencies.

Install

From a Paperclip instance, install:

@paperclipai/plugin-daytona

The host plugin installer runs npm install into the managed plugin directory, so transitive dependencies such as @daytonaio/sdk are pulled in during installation.

Configuration

Configure Daytona from Instance Settings -> Environments, not from the plugin's plugin page.

  • Put the Daytona API key on the sandbox environment itself.
  • When you save an environment, Paperclip stores pasted API keys as company secrets.
  • DAYTONA_API_KEY remains an optional host-level fallback when an environment omits the key.
  • Optional apiUrl and target settings map directly to the Daytona SDK/client configuration. If apiUrl is omitted, the Daytona SDK uses its default endpoint.

Notes:

  • The current published Daytona SDK package is @daytonaio/sdk.
  • The driver supports both snapshot-based and image-based sandbox creation. If both are set, validation rejects the config as ambiguous.
  • Reusable leases map to Daytona stop/start semantics. Non-reusable leases are deleted on release.

Local development

cd packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona
pnpm install --ignore-workspace --no-lockfile
pnpm build
pnpm test
pnpm typecheck

These commands assume the repo root has already been installed once so the local @paperclipai/plugin-sdk workspace package is available to the compiler during development.

Package layout

  • src/manifest.ts declares the sandbox-provider driver metadata
  • src/plugin.ts implements the environment lifecycle hooks
  • paperclipPlugin.manifest and paperclipPlugin.worker point the host at the built plugin entrypoints in dist/
