test(evals): add identity scenarios and separate browser boundary dispatch

 - Baseline: `8373d7867963674ff960d2345d0d28086f799bc7`, branch `codex/chat-catalog-evals`. Integrator confirmed PR #17794 merged via `2ee36a4`.
 - Frozen denominator: **244 scenarios / 35 areas / 191 capabilities**; **196 passes required**. Catalog digest: `9dc9cf6a5426cf1b56bc30a3571851f233f9dd5e93a1292eaee414d33b52df77`. Full query/context/outcome and YAML hashes are preserved. Defaults are hashed as well.
-- Campaign state: **13 implemented, 2 partial, 229 unimplemented; 0 attempted, 0 passes; first/final rates 0/244 (0%)**. The two original task journeys and eleven complete domain definitions are implemented; `tasks.edit-properties` retains an execution-ownership-denial gap and `documents-artifacts.restore-document` retains a concurrent-edit gap. Registration and calibration remain separate from live acceptance.
-- Domain implementation update: 13 domain definitions are integrated across projects, tasks, goals, documents and activity. Goal retry, cross-company rejection, missing/inaccessible purpose chains, task clarification, document annotations and scoped company overview now have explicit phases and case-specific checks. The worker owns 45 catalog scenarios across tasks/projects/goals/documents-artifacts/inbox-search/activity; two legacy task implementations retain their original shared driver.
-- Owners: manager `/root`; baseline/shared framework `eval_integrator`; initial domain implementations `eval_domains`; sole live execution/ledger/report owner `eval_campaign`. Area ownership is reconciled with domain assignments in the manifest before campaigns.
+- Campaign state: **22 implemented, 9 partial, 213 unimplemented; 0 attempted, 0 passes; first/final rates 0/244 (0%)**. The two original task journeys and 29 domain definitions are integrated. Six identity definitions have no known missing catalog conditions: foreign-company and private-resource denial, company rename, project navigation, wrong reviewer, and human budget cap. Seven other identity definitions explicitly retain missing variants. Registration and calibration remain separate from live acceptance.
+- Domain implementation update: 16 internal domain definitions are integrated across projects, tasks, goals, documents and activity. Goal retry, cross-company rejection, missing/inaccessible purpose chains, task clarification, document annotations and scoped company overview have explicit phases and case-specific checks. Three additional task-creation/delegation definitions from `0c67cb39be` cover website work with/without an existing project and project work; the lost-send case replays the exact captured public request and independently rejects duplicate request-bound runs. The worker owns 45 catalog scenarios across tasks/projects/goals/documents-artifacts/inbox-search/activity; two legacy task implementations retain their original shared driver.
+- Owners: manager `/root`; baseline/shared framework `eval_integrator`; internal domains `eval_domains`; identity domains and this finite shared boundary/query integration checkpoint `eval_identity`; external domains `eval_external`; sole live execution/ledger/report owner `eval_campaign`. The six-area-assignment partition below is unchanged. The manifest retains the two legacy task implementations under `eval_integrator`, so its row counts are 43 internal + 29 integrator while the implementation responsibility partition is 45 + 27.
 - Boundaries: one live instance at a time initially; zero automatic retries; every selected-case attempt counts, including setup/infrastructure failures. Maximum one initial and one coherent fix/rerun per initially failing scenario. Existing measurements are historical, not new campaign attempts.
 - Host readiness: node/pnpm/python/docker/codex and dependencies present. Provider credential variables and `.env.runner-e2e.local` absent. Existing private Codex auth file present; local subscription may be loaded directly into a child environment without printing or persisting its value. Daytona credentials and immutable image are absent. No external-connected integration is qualified by simulations.
 - Credential-free manifest generation passed using Node's tsx loader. The tsx CLI's IPC socket is denied by the sandbox; this was tooling inspection, before any selected-case attempt. It is not model execution or a free selected-case retry.
 - Preflight: native runner binary is executable; original discovery listed the two legacy cells (`gpt-5.6-sol`, subscription). Read-only host IPC measurement found 86,723/87,381 semaphores consumed and 16/32 shared-memory slots used. One isolated instance is plausible; recheck immediately before launch and do not start if exhausted. No IPC cleanup performed. Ledger policy calibration passed 6/6 focused tests. Targeted plugin SDK and Runner TypeScript builds repaired stale generated declarations without production source changes. E2E TypeScript checking then passed after the identity owner corrected its in-progress nullability error. Full local suites were not launched.
 - Integration snapshot: `bc7b66912ba0c84e076aa201dd3bb6b7b7dffc95` contains the first ten executable domain definitions plus the two legacy cells. The initial snapshot passed 48 targeted checks; the lazy/policy/domain integration now passes 71 focused checks and E2E TypeScript checking. Discovery lists 15 cells; discovery and calibration do not establish complete conditions or live acceptance. No canonical attempt is reserved.
 - Architecture decision: use genuinely lazy domain dispatch and per-case fingerprints for incremental acceptance. Pure descriptors support discovery; only the selected domain executes. Fingerprints bind its actual static local-import closure, shared runtime/grader/fixture inputs, normalized selected execution/descriptor, exact query and defaults. Whole source revision and global suite hash remain separate provenance. The actual selected projects closure contains 493 source files and no unresolved dynamic sites. Six known dynamic sites use reviewed source-hash-pinned resolver declarations: actual worker closure, pinned SDK package identities, and explicitly inactive external launch branches. A changed site falls back conservatively; activating an installed/external target refuses the reviewed local-chat fingerprint. No global loader hook is used. Shared-policy work must preserve scenario-specific funding, paused/readiness and cancellation/denial outcomes with explicit independently checked policies.
-- Next: finish lazy closure/typed policies and their targeted calibration, commit an immutable slice, then hand the exact source/fingerprint to the sole campaign coordinator. No acceptance run may read mutable source or carry a pass across changed executable/grader dependencies.
+- Identity/shared checkpoint: 77 combined internal/identity/shared credential-free checks pass (including the 38 identity/shared checks), covering positive/wrong/missing evidence for all 13 identity oracles, query-binding rejection cases, lazy metadata drift, boundary separation and unchanged chat fingerprint restrictions. Discovery lists 31 cells. E2E TypeScript checking passes with only the external worker's uncommitted `external*.ts` sources/tests excluded. The full mutable tree reports unrelated external-worker errors (`external-connection-setup.ts:11–12` nullable card; a subsequent uncommitted `external-app-permissions.ts:50` receipt type); no identity/shared errors. The immutable committed snapshot must be checked independently. No browser, provider, database, installed-target or live API execution was started by the identity worker.
+- Fixture binding decision: the manager authorized an explicit binding of incidental `BIRCH-42` to a real foreign issue identifier created through public APIs. Frozen YAML and original intent/context/outcome remain unchanged. Only that declared token may change; evidence retains original query, rendered query, binding, company/resource IDs and independently fetched persisted identity. Duplicate, undeclared, missing and prose-injecting substitutions fail before admission.
+- Browser boundary integration: the four catalog contexts with no usable chat have a separate typed context, loader, pre-fixture dispatch and independent fingerprint lane. It never fabricates company/agent fixtures or credits a nonexistent chat query. The original source-local Agent Chat fingerprint guard remains closed to installed/external targets; an empty-installation boundary requires actual pinned installed CLI/server hashes. An identity-owned primitive starts a distinct genuinely empty target via the public operator CLI and independently checks later wizard/readiness outcomes. Complete wizard/auth callbacks remain unfinished, so **none of the four boundaries is registered or counted implemented**. No missing-CLI/provider placeholder can pass.
+- Next: commit this finite integration slice and hand its exact source/fingerprint to the sole campaign coordinator for a frozen goals slice. Identity's remaining 31 ordinary/boundary cases and missing variants continue in the next wave. External-provider prerequisites have been requested asynchronously; no response or domain-worker live-operation authorization has been received. No acceptance run may read mutable source or carry a pass across changed executable/grader dependencies.
