2026-10-24-paperclip-beta-repairs-stop-recovery-and-finally-distinguishes-soft-budget-warnings

Beta repairs Stop recovery and finally distinguishes soft budget warnings. Native Stop can wake accounting reconciliation after a complete receipt, and only a later user message can promote queued input from before Stop into resumed work. The repair record distinguishes database regressions and bounded local API journeys from remaining Slack, warm/subscription, deployed-staging and remote-crash qualification. Separately, soft incidents become warnings rather than paused-work cards in beta. Stable v2026.1023.0 still renders the misleading wording.

Channel: preview-or-beta. Half: defect. Date: 2026-10-23.

Operator consequence: On stable, check the incident threshold and actual run before raising a cap or resuming. Trial the beta for the repaired stop/resume path with the exact provider and lifecycle you use; a passing local path is not evidence for all remote recoveries. Correct state labels can avoid unnecessary human intervention, while preserving pre-stop input and requiring a new human turn prevents a repair from silently reviving cancelled work.
