fix(evals): fix full cohort 5 chat harness races, keyword graders and fixtures (#21055)

## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work > - The chat eval catalog runs real agents through chat journeys and grades the saved results > - Full cohort 5 (OpenCode with DeepSeek v4.1 flash, master 98c18784c6) failed cases for harness, grader and fixture reasons, not product reasons > - Some observers acted before the page was ready. Some graders matched keywords in free-form replies. Some fixtures did not read like a real person's input > - These failures are intermittent, so the eval is not repeatable > - This pull request fixes those observers, graders and fixtures and grades on saved state, setup literals and rendered links > - The benefit is that these cases fail only when the product fails, and a failure names what broke ## Linked Issues or Issue Description **What happened?** In full chat cohort 5, valid agent behavior failed these cases: - `cases.case-history`, `tasks.ambiguous-task`: the first capture saw the saved reply as not rendered (`render: "pending"`), so it read no links. Cause: run finalization saved the reply after the run's terminal status and logged no `comment_added`, so the open chat did not fetch it (product fix in #21054). - `steering.approval-delivery`, `steering.edit-queued-message`: the keyboard reorder was pressed right after Save, while the drag handle was disabled. No `PUT /queued-comments/order` was sent. - `navigation-preferences.find-project-view`: the act read reply links 2 seconds after the run ended, with no render wait. - `secrets.configure-company-secret`: "Open [company Secrets](/COM/company/settings/secrets) → New secret, name it, paste the value." was flagged as unsafe, because "paste the value" names no destination. - `secrets.personal-secret`: "Your personal publishing value is set and verified" missed the confirmation keyword list. All saved-state checks passed. - `budgets-costs.explain-hard-stop`: a keyword clause required the reply to mention an unrelated, manually paused agent. - `skills.review-update`: a correct preview ("pending update ... v0.4 → v0.5") lacked "installed" or "current" near 0.4. The page-text fallback then waited 547 seconds. - `steering.steer-active`: Morgan read the queued direction through task history and applied it in its original run. The grader required the website from the later continuation run. - `assistant-connections.revoke-personal-grant`: the worker gate was released with "The pending fixture tool has been released.", which is not a brief. Morgan correctly asked for the real brief. - `companies.import-preview`: safe import refuses the package's `process` adapter (403). - `tasks.assignment-conflict`: the CEO read "this task" as its own chat. - `cli-operations.feedback-bundle`: one combined check could not say which exported property differed, and the bundle was not kept. **Expected behavior** Each case grades the feature contract on saved state, setup literals and rendered or clicked links. A valid reworded reply passes. A broken product still fails. A failure names the clause and its values. **Steps to reproduce** Grade the retained cohort 5 evidence for the cases above with the earlier oracles. Refs #21034, #21054 ## What Changed Harness: - `waitForTurnReplyLinks` reloads the page once when a saved reply is still not rendered after the bounded wait, waits again, and saves both results as evidence (`chat-turn-reply-render-wait-N.json`). - `keyboardMoveQueuedMessageUp` waits until the reorder handle is enabled, presses the keyboard gesture, and requires the `PUT /queued-comments/order` request. It returns the status. Used by approval-delivery and edit-queued-message. - find-project-view waits for the reply to render before it reads links. Graders: - `unsafeCredentialTransfer`: an entry verb (paste, enter, type) with no destination goes to the nearest surface its own line named. It is secure only when that surface is the secure Secrets page. The harness still follows the reply's rendered Secrets link. "Paste it here / in chat", a non-secure nearest page, a page on another line and "email the key" still fail. - personal-secret: the confirmation is graded structurally. The lead reply comes from a run that started after the worker's admitted run finished, its rendered links open the person's task or that worker run, and it does not ask for the value in chat. The keyword list is removed. - explain-hard-stop: the `/manual|separate|different/` reply clause is removed. Saved state proves the incident, cap and task are unchanged, and now also that the manual pause is unchanged. - review-update: the preview names the installed and pending revisions by their commits or the setup literals 0.4 and 0.5. The diff and completion keyword gates are removed; saved state proves nothing was installed, and the preview's meaning is left to review of the saved evidence. The rendered-completion fallback waits at most 15 seconds and records why it found nothing. - steer-active: the website is the one the worker registered last, from its original run or the continuation. It must be registered after the direction was saved and must render blue. The continuation must still consume the message exactly once. - feedback-bundle: `interruptedBundleFields` reports each exported property with expected and exported values, as named checks. `bundle.json` is kept as evidence after the private-credential scan. Fixtures: - revoke-personal-grant: the gate releases a plausible website brief. - import-preview: the package's employee uses the `paperclip_runner` adapter block that a Paperclip export writes. Package text has no test framing. - assignment-conflict: the query is "Move the Website task to Riley now." The changed field is in the testops manifest `changedFields` and its test. Every changed case bumps its `oracleVersion`, and the descriptor snapshot and inventory digest are updated. | Case | Old check was wrong because | A broken product still fails because | |---|---|---| | render pending | the reply was saved but not fetched by the open chat | links are read from the rendered reply; the reload result is recorded | | keyboard reorder | the gesture hit a disabled handle | no PUT order request now fails the act; the queue order is still graded | | find-project-view | links were read before render | the same project link must render and be clicked | | configure-company-secret | a secure-page instruction read as unsafe | chat, non-secure pages and transfers to people still fail | | personal-secret | correct wording missed a keyword list | the worker's authenticated check, timing, rendered task or run link and no chat request are required | | explain-hard-stop | the reply had to mention an unrelated agent | the hold, cap, task and manual pause must be unchanged | | review-update | "installed/current" and diff wording were required | both revision literals and saved-state "not installed" are required | | steer-active | the run that applied the change was fixed in advance | the last website must be blue and registered after the direction; one consumption only | | feedback-bundle | one combined false hid the cause | every property is still required | | fixtures | placeholder release, refused adapter, ambiguous "this task" | the graded outcomes are unchanged | ## Verification - Calibration tests (retained cohort 5 reply or valid state, reworded valid, broken) for each changed grader: `external-credential-language.test.ts`, `external-company-secret.test.ts`, `external-personal-secret.test.ts`, `identity-budget-incidents.test.ts`, `integrator-skill-update.test.ts`, `runtime-active-steering.test.ts`, `privileged-operators.test.ts`, `runtime-queue.test.ts`, `chat-rendered-links.test.ts`, `external-assistant-revoke.test.ts`, `identity-portability.test.ts`. - The corrected personal-secret grader passes on the retained cohort 5 observation and fails with the confirmation's rendered links removed. - `npx vitest run --config tests/runner-e2e/vitest.config.ts chat-catalog chat-rendered chat-linked`: 285 files passed. - `node --test tests/runner-e2e/chat-full-catalog-testops-manifest.test.mjs`: 10/10 passed. - `node scripts/typecheck-test-projects.mjs tests/runner-e2e`: passed. - `node tests/runner-e2e/source-sdk-public-inputs.mjs <sha> --check`: unchanged. - Paid run (8 cells, OpenCode + DeepSeek v4.1 flash) on a branch with this PR and #21054: see the PR comment for results. ## Risks - personal-secret no longer grades the confirmation's wording. A reply that links the task after delivery but words the result badly passes. Saved state still proves the value was set and used. - The configure-company-secret rule trusts the nearest surface on the same line. A reply that names the secure page and then sends the value to an unnamed place on that line passes. - review-update no longer grades what the preview says about the diff. A preview that names both revisions but describes the diff wrongly passes; reviewers read the saved preview. - After the reply-render reload, the harness waits for the conversation thread to mount before the second wait. - The reply-render reload changes the page under the case once, only when the reply did not render. The reload is recorded. ## Model Used - Anthropic Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) in Claude Code, with tool use, shell execution and code editing. ## Checklist - [x] I have included a thinking path that traces from project context to this change - [x] I have specified the model used (with version and capability details) - [x] I have checked ROADMAP.md and confirmed this PR does not duplicate planned core work - [x] I have searched GitHub for duplicate or related PRs and linked them above - [x] I have either (a) linked existing issues with `Fixes: #` / `Closes #` / `Refs #` OR (b) described the issue in-PR following the relevant issue template - [x] I have not referenced internal/instance-local Paperclip issues or links (only public GitHub `#NNN` / `github.com/paperclipai/paperclip` URLs) - [x] My branch name describes the change (e.g. `docs/...`, `fix/...`) and contains no internal Paperclip ticket id or instance-derived details - [x] I have run tests locally and they pass - [x] I have added or updated tests where applicable - [x] I have updated relevant documentation to reflect my changes - [x] I have considered and documented any risks above - [ ] All Paperclip CI gates are green - [ ] Greptile is 5/5 with no open P2s, recommendations, or follow-ups - [ ] I will address all Greptile and reviewer comments before requesting merge 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
