ci: enable Grok qualification in the trusted paid workflow (#13845)

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Product E2E tests verify tasks through the browser, server, and
runner.
> - These paid tests use a trusted workflow from master and an isolated
target commit.
> - The Grok target branch selects XAI_API_KEY, but the trusted workflow
does not deliver that credential.
> - Its artifact test also needs the pinned Python verifier before
execution.
> - This pull request adds both bindings inside the existing paid
boundary.
> - The tests can then run on the configured EC2 fleet without laptop
Docker.

paid-workflow change was found.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Branch-targeted Grok Product E2E qualification in the existing paid
workflow.

**Current behavior**

Grok cells cannot receive their selected API credential. The Grok
build-revise case also misses the artifact-verifier setup step.

**Proposed behavior**

Deliver XAI_API_KEY only when the selected matrix credential is
XAI_API_KEY. Prepare the existing pinned verifier for the Grok
qualification suite.

**Reason and benefit**

Run the controller, browser, runner and artifact checks on the EC2
fleet. Preserve default-branch workflow authorization and protected
environment secret access.

## What Changed

- Bind the selected XAI credential only in the paid test step.
- Install the checksum-verified Grok binary for local cells before
provider access.
- Include Grok qualification in the existing pinned artifact-verifier
preparation.
- Add an optional max_parallel input that can only lower the configured
campaign concurrency. Use 1 for the Grok test key.
- Extend security assertions and document setup.

## Verification

- Ran the Product E2E workflow-security tests: 11 passed.
- Checked the diff for whitespace errors.
- Reviewed credential selection, setup ordering, numeric actor gates,
target commit pinning, and trusted report checkout.
- Live Grok execution follows after this workflow is available on
master. This PR does not claim completed Grok qualification.

## Risks

The paid test step can use the selected XAI credential and incur
provider charges. The credential remains in runner-e2e-paid and is
absent from setup, build, and reporting jobs. The default-branch gate
and existing environment restrictions remain in place. No database
migration or product behavior changes.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, code editing, and tool
execution. The exact deployment model ID and context-window size are not
exposed in this session.

## Secrets and protected environments
Create `runner-e2e-paid`, restrict deployments to the default branch, and put
only `OPENAI_API_KEY`, `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, `OPENROUTER_API_KEY`, and
only `OPENAI_API_KEY`, `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, `OPENROUTER_API_KEY`, `XAI_API_KEY`, and
`DAYTONA_API_KEY` in it. Do not duplicate these credentials as repository- or
organization-level Actions secrets: environment scoping is the boundary that
prevents branch or pull-request jobs from requesting them. Require approval
