test: prepare neutral native connection guidance evals (#15407)

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents need to discover connections, obtain consent, and continue
from saved decisions.
> - We want to reduce repeated instructions only when measured behavior
supports the change.
> - The existing decline tasks tell the model not to retry. One
provider-decline check can pass without an explanation or an observed
service counter.
> - This PR adds neutral tasks and stricter saved-evidence checks before
any connection instruction reduction.
> - Production instructions remain unchanged. The new cells are
configured, not live-qualified.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #15218. Refs #15389.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The Product E2E connection workflow evaluation and its instruction
measurement provenance.

**Current behavior**

Some decline prompts supply the policy they intend to test. The
provider-decline workflow does not require a saved post-decision
explanation. Its old no-call check can use a missing fixture counter as
zero. OpenCode has no connection cases in the original Everyday matrix.

**Proposed behavior**

Add an explicit-only suite with five connection stories on native Codex,
ACPX Claude, and OpenCode. Require an explanation attributed by exact
run ID after a saved decline. Observe the provider fixture counter.
Preserve the original cases and grades.

## What Changed

- Add fifteen configured cells with one attempt, twelve-minute
deadlines, and verified 1,000-cent company and agent budget stops.
- Remove procedure hints from the three new decline prompts. Keep a
user-permitted explanation fallback and the existing positive controls.
- Require saved decline state, one decision, unchanged connections,
observed zero service calls where applicable, and a post-decision
explanation from a successful run on the same task.
- Add negative grader calibration and test the actual fixture budget
payloads. Exclude the suite from default and generic selection.
- Extend the existing full-catalog measurement source manifest with
connection descriptions and schemas. Add an audit of fixed text, tool
descriptions, returned instructions, and unqualified behavior.
- Rebase on master `a6306ba606eb87c89b9ef0344e9fe8e0025580f9` and
preserve its new Cursor suites. No production, credential, workflow, or
lockfile change.

## Verification

- Before rebase: Product E2E support passed 1,424 TypeScript tests and
128 Node checks. Six catalog measurement tests, repository
typecheck/build, Product E2E typecheck, and exact fifteen-cell discovery
passed.
- The full pre-rebase repository test run was stopped when master
advanced. Its partial result is not a pass.
- After rebase and the review correction: repository build/typecheck,
Product E2E typecheck, 1,799 TypeScript support tests (one skipped), 128
Node checks, six measurement tests, and exact fifteen-cell discovery
pass. The duplicate local full-suite run was stopped incomplete after
about 20 minutes once complete CI passed; no local full-suite pass is
claimed.
- Review found that the initial grader read `runId` instead of public
`createdByRunId`. A regression calibration reproduced both rejection of
valid public comments and acceptance of the wrong alias. The fix uses
the actual field and binds the evidence type to the shared
`IssueComment` contract. A subsequent type-only import path correction
passes Product E2E typecheck.
- Final source `0de306b9664bfbdebb6709ddb54c95152740d1ad` passes
[complete
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37560250545):
51 successful checks and two intentional Storybook skips, plus separate
Snyk success. Fresh Greptile review is 5/5 with the single review thread
resolved and no new findings. The PR is clean and mergeable.
- Local commands: `pnpm build`, `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm
test:e2e:runner:unit`, `pnpm test:e2e:runner:typecheck`, and `pnpm
test:e2e:runner -- --list --suite native-connection-guidance`. The
measurement uses
`PAPERCLIP_NATIVE_PROCEDURE_MEASUREMENT=/tmp/connection-measurement.json
pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/server
server/src/__tests__/native-procedure-measurement.test.ts`. Validation
used pinned pnpm 9.15.4.
- No paid provider campaign was started. There is no baseline/candidate
behavior result for these new cells.
- The audit records 654 UTF-8 bytes of fixed connection guidance. A
clean capture at `a04b8c6a452315625014888335d45670a2094fb6` confirms 41
supplied tools, 53,341 normalized bytes at start/resume, 50,949 at
compact continuation, and a 48,195-byte authenticated OpenCode MCP
catalog. These are byte counts, not tokens, bills, vendor-private prompt
sizes, or savings from this PR.

## Risks

- This is eval preparation. Passing support tests do not establish live
model behavior or qualify an instruction reduction.
- The explanation oracle checks attributed saved output. It does not
prove cognition or arbitrary prose truthfulness. One saved interaction
also does not prove the absence of repeated idempotent tool calls.
- Successful new authentication and tool refresh, existing-connection
agent grants, independent work while waiting, explicit retry after
decline, and blocking when mandatory work remains still need separate
coverage.
- Notion setup decline does not execute a real Notion service. Positive
service approval uses an already installed deterministic service; it
does not qualify new connection creation.
- The original historical failures remain unchanged. Future comparisons
must freeze source, fixture, model, input, and grading controls and
retain every actual attempt.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, repository tools, and code
execution. The exact serving model ID and context-window size were not
exposed in this session; they are not inferred. No model provider was
invoked by the eval suite in this PR preparation.

# Native connection guidance: audit and eval preparation
## Decision
Keep production connection instructions intact in this slice. The current
fixtures cannot justify removing all of the repeated text: decline prompts
teach the no-retry behavior, the old provider-decline grader permits an empty
explanation, and several boundaries have no direct live oracle. This change
prepares a separate neutral comparison suite and preserves the existing cases.
It does not claim that either production text or the new live journeys passed
a model comparison.
Audit base: faa8e452c73bae5e044dd6379179a00106abb131.
The preceding hiring-only experiment #15389 remains a separate failed
qualification. Its results do not establish connection behavior.
## What reaches the model
| Layer | Delivery | Relevant source |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Native fixed prompt | Session instruction context | packages/paperclip-runner/src/contracts/runtime-context.ts |
| Connection discovery and request descriptions/schemas | Granted tool catalog; subject to provider/catalog delivery | server/src/services/connection-tool-definitions.ts and packages/shared/src/connection-intent-guidance.ts |
| Shared connection guidance | Legacy prompt/environment delivery and native task-context tool results | packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.ts and server/src/services/native-runtime/paperclip-runner-tool-authority.ts |
| Search, request, and outcome instructions | Returned as the operation/state is encountered | server/src/services/connection-intents.ts |
| Assigned connection instructions | Optional per-connection runtime context, separate from fixed guidance | packages/paperclip-runner/src/contracts/runtime-context.ts |
The fixed connection span is 98 whitespace-separated words / 654 UTF-8 bytes
including its trailing space. The complete fixed prompt is 262 words / 1,713
bytes. These are source counts, not provider tokens, billed usage, every
configuration's total prompt, or proof of upstream loading/truncation.
The existing full-catalog capture measures nine scripted provider/phase
projections plus an authenticated OpenCode MCP tools/list. Its source manifest
now also hashes the shared connection text, tool-definition source and input
validators that supply these bytes. The captured catalog contains 41 supplied tools. All three providers have
normalized projections of 53,341 bytes at start/resume and 50,949 bytes for
compact continuation; the authenticated MCP tool catalog is 48,195 bytes.
The connection search/request descriptions are 651/503 bytes and their schemas
248/611 bytes. The fixture has API tools enabled and no
assigned external apps. Per-connection instructions, app catalogs, private
vendor prompts, and runtime results are not silently counted as standing text.
## Rules that must survive a later reduction
- Explicit connection requests must search before using even an installed
service. Ordinary work can use installed access without unnecessary setup.
- Provider discovery is not human consent or proof of underlying app access.
Saved provider choice and permission gates remain authoritative.
- The actual request tool creates setup or Grant access cards. Do not invent
access or solicit credentials in task comments.
- Complete independent work, then yield. Do not poll or repeat requests while
waiting. Continue from the saved outcome and refreshed tools.
- Respect decline and use an alternative when possible. An explicit human
request is needed to reconsider a declined provider choice.
The search/request descriptions and result instructions already carry much of
this procedure. They do not by themselves prove every model discovers it, nor
does moving words into descriptions prove a lower total instruction load.
The fixed decline/alternative rule and optional access-grant paths need explicit
coverage before removal. No prompt revision or session compatibility changes
are needed while production stays byte-identical.
## New executable coverage
The manual-only native-connection-guidance suite has five cases on local native
Codex, ACPX Claude and OpenCode, for fifteen configured cells:
| Case | Independent boundary |
| --- | --- |
| service-approve | No fixture call before approval; one afterwards; saved briefing contains actual titles and hidden marker |
| service-decline | Saved refusal; no call or replacement request; attributed post-decision explanation |
| connection-decline | Real Notion setup card; Not now saved; no connection or repeat; attributed explanation |
| provider-decline | Real provider choice, restart/reload, None saved; instrumented installed gateway receives zero calls; attributed explanation |
| provider-second | Saved second-provider choice after restart; no early call, one chosen-provider call; actual marker and no duplicate setup |
Decline prompts contain a user-permitted fallback but no no-retry, decline,
tool-selection, polling or completion-protocol instruction. They still define
the requested deliverable: a brief explanation if data is unavailable. This
allows Done without pretending that unfinished required work is complete.
New explanation checks join comment.createdByRunId to a successful run with the same
agent and native issue. They reject absent/stale/wrong-agent/wrong-task output,
missing decision timestamps, unrelated decisions, duplicate requests, missing
call evidence, unauthorized calls and connection changes. They check saved
output, not cognitive consumption or arbitrary prose truthfulness. Existing
screenshots and the original independent workflow checks remain in use.
Each cell has one attempt, expected two provider turns, a twelve-run ceiling,
a 720-second deadline and verified 1,000-cent company/lead budget hard stops.
The bound is a ceiling, not a target. The selected provider supplies its normal
model profile and permissions. No production or workflow credentials are
changed. No paid campaign is started by defining or testing this suite.
## Remaining coverage before any broad connection reduction
A single saved interaction does not prove that an agent avoided repeating an
idempotent request-tool call. This suite rejects duplicate saved decisions,
not every repeated tool invocation.
Successful new authentication/setup and tool refresh, existing-connection
agent grants, useful independent work before yielding, explicit reconsideration
after decline, arbitrary provider compatibility, and unavailable access with
remaining mandatory work need separate oracles. A passing subset cannot
qualify these missing behaviors. Positive approval of an already installed
service is not successful connection creation.
## Validation and disposition
Local support validation passes 1,424 TypeScript tests and 128 Node checks.
The six full-catalog measurement tests, repository typecheck/build and Product
E2E typecheck pass. Exact suite discovery lists fifteen local cells and tests
confirm exclusion from default/generic selection. The pre-rebase full test invocation was stopped when master advanced. Its
partial log is not a pass. The branch was replayed onto master
`a6306ba606eb87c89b9ef0344e9fe8e0025580f9`, retaining the upstream Cursor catalog
additions. The measurements above remain tied to the original audit base.
Post-rebase verification and source CI/review are pending at preparation.
The initial support run exposed catalog-size expectations needing the fifteen
new cells, and typecheck caught an unknown comment-body input; both are fixed
and the final support/typecheck runs pass.
This PR changes no production instruction, tool-description, authority or
runtime file relative to its master parent. Upstream runtime changes during
the rebase are not instruction savings from this PR. There is no baseline/candidate behavioral score yet and no paid
usage in this preparation slice. Preserve historical failures and report any
future original attempt without rerolling a usable behavioral failure.

## Native connection guidance (explicit only)
The manual-only native-connection-guidance suite separates connection-policy
discovery from fixture instructions. It reuses five Everyday journeys on local
native Codex, ACPX Claude and OpenCode: service approval/decline, new Notion
setup decline, external-provider decline and choosing the second provider.
Fifteen cells are configured, not live-qualified by their existence. Select an
exact execution ID or this suite; --all and generic profile selectors exclude it.
The three decline prompts define a brief explanation as the permitted fallback.
They do not mention the future decline, name connection tools, prescribe a
provider, or tell the model not to retry. The approval and second-provider
prompts remain identical to the original stories. The historical
everyday-workflows cases and their original grades remain unchanged.
Each cell allows one attempt, expects two provider turns, retains a twelve-run
maximum and twelve-minute deadline, and verifies 1,000-cent company and agent
hard stops through public records before task creation. All actual runs,
usage/cost gaps, controller retries and cleanup must remain in the report.
No real third-party mutation occurs. The external-provider decline includes
the same deterministic installed Arcade gateway as the positive control, so its
zero-call assertion has an actual counter rather than a missing-fixture default.
The new decline oracle requires the saved decision, exactly one interaction,
unchanged connection identities, and an explanation after the decision from a
successful run of the same agent on the same native task. The public comment createdByRunId field
owns attribution; names, ordering or counts cannot substitute. Service/provider
declines require observed zero fixture calls. Notion setup ends before
credentials or a service invocation; it does not qualify real Notion access.
The original lifecycle, native identity, approval and document checks still run.
These fallback tasks expect Done; they do not qualify blocking when essential
work remains, arbitrary setup success, independent work while waiting,
explicit retry after decline, or general integration quality.
Use the existing report publisher and retained artifact boundary. The suite
definition digest includes its prompts, flow, graders, fixture setup and browser
submission code. Compare frozen sources under identical fixture/model/budget
controls before using it to qualify a production instruction change. See
[the connection audit](../../doc/plans/2026-10-06-native-connection-guidance.md).
