fix(evals): derive the controlled Runner eval policy from committed defaults (#19253)

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Runner protocol qualification runs real providers against 41 cases
and reports them in TestOps.
> - Controlled mode (#17889) adds a spend cap, private evidence storage,
and cost and trace accounting.
> - Operators must hand-maintain one large JSON variable for each
campaign size, price review, and lockfile change.
> - A one-cell policy blocked the first 41-case run, and its prices
expired after 24 hours.
> - This pull request derives that policy from committed defaults and
the selected cases.
> - The benefit is that a full run needs no policy edit, and all three
safety properties stay.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17889, #19011, #19070.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Controlled Runner protocol campaigns read
`RUNNER_PROTOCOL_EVAL_CONTROLLER_POLICY_JSON`. That variable holds the
cell limit, a price table with a review expiry, a pinned lockfile
digest, and self-hashed bound proofs.

**Current behavior**

A campaign with more cells than `maxCells` fails before provider work.
Expired prices also fail before provider work. Any change to the
lockfile needs a new pin. A one-cell policy made all 41 TestOps cases
fail as infrastructure, so an operator had to edit the variable by hand
before the full run.

**Proposed behavior**

The workflow derives the policy at preparation time. The cell count
comes from the selected catalog. Prices come from a committed table with
a version and a source URL. The controller installs the committed frozen
lockfile. One optional variable, `RUNNER_PROTOCOL_EVAL_MAX_USD`, can
override the committed $400 spend cap.

**Reason and benefit**

Each piece that was hand-maintained duplicated a check that already
exists. The manifest digest binds every allocation. The frozen install
binds dependencies to the reviewed commit. Under model-request
readiness, the self-hashed bounds never changed admission or accounting.

**Breaking changes**

The old variable is no longer read. It can stay set or be deleted.
Retained manifests that include the old proofs still replay.

## What Changed

- Add
`packages/paperclip-runner/scripts/controlled-evals/hosted-defaults.json`.
It holds the spend cap, duration, route, Claude Sonnet 5 prices,
allocation, overhead reservation and trace limits.
- Add `hostedPolicy()` in `hosted.mjs`. It derives `maxCells` from the
selection. It gives each campaign a validity window from preparation to
one hour after its deadline. It applies the optional spend cap override.
- Remove `capacityBound` and the policy self-hash from hosted
preparation. `manifest.mjs` needs model `provisionalBound` only when
readiness is not `model_requests`.
- Workflow: stop reading the policy variable. The controller build
installs the committed `pnpm-lock.yaml` with `--frozen-lockfile` and
fails on any lockfile drift. Preparation checks that the runtime receipt
lockfile digest equals the committed lockfile. The catalog limit is now
1 to 512 selected cells.
- Keep everything else the same: the spend-cap check before provider
work, private S3 retention of the manifest and derived
`hosted-policy.json`, receipts, tracing, first-attempt and zero-retry
gates, and paid-environment approvals.
- Update `hosted.test.mjs`, `portable.test.mjs`,
`runner-protocol-eval-workflow-security.test.mjs`, and
`docs/runner-protocol-live-evals.md`.

## Verification

- `node --test scripts/controlled-evals/hosted.test.mjs`: 8 pass. The
new tests show that `maxCells` equals the selection and that the
validity window covers the deadline with no committed expiry. They also
show that the spend cap override applies. With the committed defaults,
41 cells validate with $339 reserved, and 49 cells fail on the $400
budget.
- Negative controls still fail: drift in selection, source or attempt; a
bad lock digest; missing tracing; a duration over 4 hours; a malformed
or too-low spend cap; and zero cells.
- `node --test scripts/runner-protocol-eval-workflow-security.test.mjs`:
20 pass. Controlled admission now passes whether the old variable is
absent, still set, or malformed. A real git checkout with a modified
`pnpm-lock.yaml` fails the controller guard before install.
- `node --test scripts/controlled-evals/controller.test.mjs
scripts/controlled-evals/portable.test.mjs`: all pass.
- `actionlint .github/workflows/runner-protocol-live-evals.yml` and `git
diff --check` pass.
- `tests/runner-e2e/workflow-security.test.ts` has 5 failures that this
change does not cause. They concern `pr-trusted.yml`,
`chat-catalog-testops-case.yml` and `runner-full-stack-e2e.yml`. This PR
does not touch those files.
- I have not run a live controlled campaign on this branch. Controlled
mode runs only from the default branch. The current 41-case run uses
master and the existing variable.

## Risks

- The committed price table has no expiry. A provider price change needs
a reviewed edit to the table. The spend cap still limits the maximum
spend.
- If the committed lockfile does not match the package manifests, the
controller build fails before provider work. CI already requires a
frozen lockfile.
- The spend cap is now $400 by default. It was $339 in the last manual
policy. The cap is a reservation limit, not expected spend. The expected
spend for 41 cases is about $5–20.
- Only ACPX Claude Sonnet 5 has a committed allocation, as in the old
variable. A new controlled model needs a committed price entry and
allocation.

## Model Used

This change does not set either variable or enable paid recurrence.
Set `RUNNER_PROTOCOL_EVAL_CONTROLLER_POLICY_JSON` only after its operating
bounds have been reviewed. An absent, stale or invalid policy stops before
provider work. The policy schema is `paperclip.runner-eval.hosted-policy/v1`:
Controlled runs derive their campaign policy from committed defaults in
`packages/paperclip-runner/scripts/controlled-evals/hosted-defaults.json`.
Changing a price, allocation, overhead reservation or trace limit is a reviewed
pull request, not a repository variable. The controller runtime packages the
file, and `hosted.mjs prepare` reads that verified copy, never the workspace
that the private evals program can modify. The file holds:
- `controllerLockSha256`, the SHA-256 of the explicitly reviewed compatible
workspace lockfile. The existing unprivileged target-lock job resolves it;
inspect that immutable artifact before setting the policy. The controller
build requires its digest to match, installs with `--frozen-lockfile` and a
job-local store, and records the digest in the runtime receipt. Private
preparation checks that receipt binding again. A changed lockfile requires a
policy review. No lockfile is committed by this workflow integration.
- `maxUsd`, `maxCells` (1–512), `durationMs` (at most four hours), current
`pricingVerifiedAt` and `pricingExpiresAt`.
- `route`, optional gateway `projectId`, exact `models`, and the same
four-component `overhead` contract used by the controller.
- `observability` with `projectId`, `capture` and `nativeLimits`. Tracing is
required for this mode. `BRAINTRUST_API_KEY` is delivered only to the
trusted controller step, even when model requests use the direct route.
- `maxUsd`, the default campaign spend cap. The optional repository variable
`RUNNER_PROTOCOL_EVAL_MAX_USD` overrides it; it is the only setting.
- `durationMs` (at most four hours) and `route`.
- `models`, the committed price table. Prices carry a version and source URL
and no review expiry. Each campaign receives a pricing and overhead validity
window that starts when its manifest is prepared and ends one hour after its
deadline.
- `allocations`, one entry per provider/agent/model profile, each with
`maxUsd`, `maxRequests`, `maxConcurrent` and `timeoutMs`.
- `capacityBound`, a reviewed full-lifecycle proof. Its `configurationSha256`
hashes `canonical(hostedPolicyConfiguration(policy))`, which excludes only
the proof itself. The proof must cover every selected cell up to `maxCells`,
trace and gateway processing, retained data, private archive transfers,
workflow setup/build/reporting and the full retention window. A policy
digest is a binding to evidence, not independent proof of vendor charges.
- `overhead`, the four-component operating reservation with
`accountingReadiness: "model_requests"`.
- `observability` capture flags and `nativeLimits`. Tracing is required. The
Braintrust project comes from `RUNNER_E2E_BRAINTRUST_PROJECT_ID`.
`BRAINTRUST_API_KEY` is delivered only to the trusted controller step, even
when model requests use the direct route.
The cell limit is the selected catalog itself (1–512 cells). The campaign must
still fit its spend cap: the once-only overhead plus every selected allocation
must not exceed `maxUsd`, or preparation fails before provider work. With the
committed defaults the 41-case Claude plan reserves $339 of the $400 cap.
The controller installs the committed `pnpm-lock.yaml` of the trusted workflow
revision with `--frozen-lockfile`, disabled install scripts and a job-local
store. It fails if the checkout's lockfile differs from the commit. The runtime
receipt records the lockfile digest; private preparation checks that it equals
the committed lockfile before compiling requests. A dependency change is
reviewed through its own pull request.
The previous `RUNNER_PROTOCOL_EVAL_CONTROLLER_POLICY_JSON` variable is no longer
read. Its hand-maintained `maxCells`, pricing windows, `controllerLockSha256`
and self-hashed `capacityBound`/`provisionalBound` proofs are retired. Under
model-request readiness every request settles from its own receipt, and an
unresolved request fails the cell, so those proofs never changed admission or
accounting. Retained manifests that include them still replay. The derived
policy is retained next to the manifest as `hosted-policy.json` in private
storage.
