## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is a control plane for AI-agent companies, so issue checkout and execution ownership are core safety contracts. > - The affected subsystem is the issue service and route layer that gates agent writes by `checkoutRunId` and `executionRunId`. > - PAP-1982 exposed a stale-lock failure mode where a terminal heartbeat run could leave `executionRunId` pinned after checkout ownership had moved or been cleared. > - That stale execution lock could reject legitimate PATCH/comment/release requests from the rightful assignee after a harness restart. > - This pull request centralizes terminal-run cleanup, applies it before ownership-gated writes, and adds a board-only recovery endpoint for operator intervention. > - The benefit is that crashed or terminal runs no longer strand issues behind stale execution locks, while live execution locks still block conflicting writes. ## What Changed - Added `issueService.clearExecutionRunIfTerminal()` to atomically lock the issue/run rows and clear terminal or missing execution-run locks. - Reused stale execution-lock cleanup from checkout, `assertCheckoutOwner()`, and `release()`. - Allowed the same assigned agent/current run to adopt an unowned `in_progress` checkout after stale execution-lock cleanup. - Updated release to clear `executionRunId`, `executionAgentNameKey`, and `executionLockedAt`. - Added board-only `POST /api/issues/:id/admin/force-release` with company access checks, optional `clearAssignee=true`, and `issue.admin_force_release` audit logging. - Added embedded Postgres service tests and route integration tests for stale-lock recovery, release behavior, and admin force-release authorization/audit behavior. - Documented the new force-release API in `doc/SPEC-implementation.md`. ## Verification - `pnpm vitest run server/src/__tests__/issues-service.test.ts server/src/__tests__/issue-stale-execution-lock-routes.test.ts` passed. - `pnpm vitest run server/src/__tests__/issue-stale-execution-lock-routes.test.ts server/src/__tests__/approval-routes-idempotency.test.ts server/src/__tests__/issue-comment-reopen-routes.test.ts server/src/__tests__/issue-telemetry-routes.test.ts` passed. - `pnpm -r typecheck` passed. - `pnpm build` passed. - `git diff --check` passed. - `pnpm lint` could not run because this repo has no `lint` command. - Full `pnpm test:run` completed with 4 failures in existing route suites: `approval-routes-idempotency.test.ts` (2), `issue-comment-reopen-routes.test.ts` (1), and `issue-telemetry-routes.test.ts` (1). Those same files pass when run isolated and when run together with the new stale-lock route test, so this appears to be a whole-suite ordering/mock-isolation issue outside this patch path. ## Risks - Medium: this changes ownership-gated write behavior. The new adoption path is limited to the current run, the current assignee, `in_progress` issues, and rows with no checkout owner after terminal-lock cleanup. - Low: the admin force-release endpoint is board-only and company-scoped, but misuse can intentionally clear a live lock. It writes an audit event with prior lock IDs. - No schema or migration changes. > For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR.
