Choose project storage from compatible environments (#20587)

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Projects supply repository files to agent runs through core staging
or a storage plugin.
> - A storage plugin's default claim silently attached new projects even
when their agents used a different environment.
> - An environment name or driver type does not establish shared storage
access. The existing binding and task-driver contracts do.
> - This pull request groups creation choices by that contract and
selects storage from the creator's effective environment.
> - The benefit is a visible, validated choice and a clear error before
an incompatible managed workspace operation.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Fixes #20459.

Related: #20156 covers a separate provider-failure diagnostic. The PR
search found no other fix for #20459. ROADMAP.md has no duplicate
project-creation change.

## What Changed

- Show **Available in** when configured environments require different
project storage. Each option names the environments that can use the
same storage owner. Hide the selector when all choices are compatible.
- Derive compatibility from repository staging and managed binding
ownership. Local, SSH, and sandbox environments use core staging.
Managed storage requires a registered task driver from the same
installed storage plugin. Separate storage plugins remain incompatible.
Unknown plugin contracts and the fake sandbox are excluded.
- Follow the creating agent's environment, or the person's primary
agent, then the instance default and local fallback. Apply managed-only
and forced Kubernetes policy. The product has no separate user or
company environment-default field today.
- Add a company-authorized discovery endpoint and an optional creation
`environmentId`. Validate the choice again on save. Store the storage
owner without overriding agent run environments. Preserve explicit API
storage choices and existing project ownership.
- Keep the hidden repository-free private-task project independent of
environment availability. Submit the observed storage owner as
`expectedStorageProviderPluginId` so a changed contract fails at save
without setting a workspace policy. Instance task-isolation defaults
stay inherited.
- Reject an incompatible managed workspace before a provider operation.
Name the storage and selected environment in the error. Add regression
tests, API documentation, creation-story fixtures, and minimal
corrections to obsolete map text.

## Verification

- **102 tests passed across 7 files:** project environment integration,
installed storage policy, repository persistence, project environment
routes, project creation telemetry routes, OpenAPI, and
NewProjectDialog. Run with `node node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run
server/src/__tests__/project-environments.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/project-workspace-provider.integration.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/project-repositories-persistence.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/project-routes-env.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/project-goal-telemetry-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/openapi-routes.test.ts
ui/src/components/NewProjectDialog.test.tsx --silent`.
- The review fixes cover both archived-default private-task cases and
changed-storage rejection. With both instance isolation flags enabled, a
new core repository project keeps a null policy and resolves to an
isolated Git worktree. The complete affected set passes all 102 tests.
- The CI query-error policy failure was fixed by using the shared query
view. The form and shared query-view suites pass **24 tests**, including
cached choices during a transient refetch failure. `node
scripts/check-query-error-rendering.mjs --enforce --summary` reports
zero findings.
- CI exposed stale SDK source hashes and heartbeat fixtures that paired
plugin storage with Local. Refreshed exactly four shared-source hashes
with the maintained generator (runtime pins unchanged). All **53 SDK
privacy/source-proof tests**, including real built SDK output, pass. All
**7 corrected managed-storage heartbeat scenarios** pass; the fixtures
declare the owning plugin's task environment and substitute transport at
the existing execution seam.
- Shared and UI TypeScript checks pass. The UI production build passes.
`pnpm check:token-gates`, `node scripts/check-maps.mjs`, `node
scripts/check-module-boundaries.mjs`, and diff checks pass.
- Tested UI states: compatible choices, incompatible groups, default
within a group, manual override, create failure, loading, discovery
failure and retry, and an unavailable default. Tests use the production
form and existing design tokens.
- The integration tests use real isolated PostgreSQL on macOS arm64 with
Node 26.12.0. They cover user/agent defaults, storage persistence,
policy restrictions, company and authentication denials, and rejection
before a provider call. Discovery uses saved configuration and makes no
worker or provider requests.
- Local verification limits: `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` stop
in unchanged adapter-utils code because the installed ACPX types lack
`inheritProcessEnv`. A direct server check also finds an unchanged AI
SDK type-version mismatch. The existing heartbeat test `inherits the
instance default environment across companies while preserving explicit
agent overrides` times out at line 518 on both this change and
unmodified master with the same dependencies. The full `pnpm test:run`
attempt passed all six chat shards (1,948 tests), then the Git workspace
expiration suite reported 14 failures. I stopped that broad run. Two
sampled failures reproduce on unchanged master with the same
`unknown_worktree_git_files` refusal; the other expiration failures were
not independently compared. A later broad workspace-preparation run also
hit workspace validation failures and was stopped; the seven corrected
fixture scenarios pass independently. These limits do not establish a
full local suite pass. Hosted CI remains required.
- Initial missing-package and loopback-denial failures were resolved by
repairing isolated dependency links, building the SDK, and running
database tests with loopback access. No deployed or live-provider
execution is claimed.

## Risks

- Creation defaults now follow the effective environment. A plugin's
`defaultForProjects` claim alone no longer selects storage. This is the
intended behavior change.
- Compatibility covers repository project storage. It does not guarantee
arbitrary host paths, retained-workspace moves, adapter/image support,
credentials, or worker readiness. Matching provider configs cannot prove
a cross-plugin storage contract.
- A person's primary agent supplies the personal default because there
is no separate personal environment setting. An unavailable configured
default requires a valid explicit choice or a configuration repair.
- No migration runs. Existing projects keep their storage owner. This
change does not detach existing managed data or provide a storage
migration.
- Full local verification has the limits listed above. CI and standard
Greptile review are pending.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, tool use, and code
execution. The exact serving snapshot and context-window size were not
exposed in this session.
