DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 a75d7df9c7 fix(evals): gate steering approval-delivery and steer-active on real product state (#20899)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The chat feature catalog runs real native agents to prove the chat
and task-steering promises.
> - Two steering cases failed in setup before they could measure the
product.
> - `steering.approval-delivery` waited for a worker run to stay running
while its question was pending. The product parks a native turn as soon
as a durable question is saved, so that state never occurs.
> - `steering.steer-active` waited for the queue to say steering is
"available". The OpenCode harness reports that it cannot steer, so the
queue says "unsupported".
> - This pull request gates each case on the real product state and
grades the behavior that state promises.
> - The benefit is that both cases now measure their user promise on the
evaluated profile, without faked runs or faked steering.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened**
Both cases failed during setup on `runner-opencode`.
`steering.approval-delivery` stopped with "The actual question fixture
did not reach its running pending-input boundary": the worker's
`request_human_input` call parked its turn (run succeeded,
`reportedWorkDisposition: yielded`, continuation `response_wake` for the
question). `steering.steer-active` timed out waiting for
`steeringDisposition: "available"`; the OpenCode driver declares
`steering: false`, so the queue reports `"unsupported"` and the page
shows Interrupt instead of Steer.

**Expected behavior**
`steering.approval-delivery` should treat the saved yield and the
pending question as the pending-input state, queue ordinary comments and
the bound answer behind a real active worker turn, and prove one
continuation receives the answer. `steering.steer-active` should grade
same-turn steering when the harness can steer, and grade the honest
fallback when it cannot: the message stays visibly queued, nothing is
recorded as steered, and one normal turn consumes it.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Dispatch
`chat-features.runner-opencode.local.steering.approval-delivery` on
master.
2. See the setup stop after the worker run succeeds with a yielded
result.
3. Dispatch `chat-features.runner-opencode.local.steering.steer-active`
on master.
4. See setup time out while `GET /api/issues/:id/queued-comments`
reports `steeringDisposition: "unsupported"`.

## What Changed

- `runtime-approval-queue.ts`: gate the question on the parked turn
(`pendingInputYield`: succeeded, yielded, `response_wake` keyed to the
question). An ordinary human message then wakes a real second Morgan
turn that waits at the task gate. Ordinary comments and the bound answer
queue behind that turn. The run count goes from 3 to 4.
- `runtime-approval-queue.ts`: remove the reply keyword checks
(`acornNamingDirection` and the "I have answered" regex). Grade exactly
one saved answer path instead: the human response control, or an
attributed canonical response.
- `runtime-active-steering.ts`: accept either definitive capability.
Unsupported branch: no enabled Steer control, a visible Interrupt
control, a steer attempt with the person's session refused with `409
steering_unsupported`, no `issue.queued_comment_steered` activity, the
exact message still queued, and one continuation that consumes it and
registers a rendered blue `website.html`.
- `runtime-active-steering.ts`: remove the reply keyword checks and the
`/blue/` match on the delivery document. The rendered page proves the
color.
- Update calibration tests in both directions, the workspace setup test,
and the descriptors (`oracleVersion` bumps, `expectedRunCount` 4 for
approval-delivery). The scenario YAML is unchanged.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run --config tests/runner-e2e/vitest.config.ts
tests/runner-e2e/chat-catalog-domains/runtime-active-steering.test.ts
tests/runner-e2e/chat-catalog-domains/runtime-approval-queue.test.ts
tests/runner-e2e/chat-catalog-domains/runtime-approval-workspace.test.ts
tests/runner-e2e/chat-catalog-contract.test.ts
tests/runner-e2e/chat-catalog-consistency.test.ts`: 87 passed.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p tests/runner-e2e`: no errors in the changed
files.
- `node tests/runner-e2e/source-sdk-public-inputs.mjs <HEAD> --check`:
unchanged.
- The live proof is a paid run of
`chat-features.runner-opencode.local.steering.approval-delivery` and
`chat-features.runner-opencode.local.steering.steer-active`.

## Risks

- approval-delivery now depends on a human message waking the worker
while its question is pending. The product does this
(`supersedeOnUserComment: false` keeps the card open, and comments wake
the assignee unless the task is done or cancelled). If the worker does
not run the gate on that turn, setup fails with a named label.
- steer-active on OpenCode now measures the honest unsupported fallback,
not same-turn delivery. A steering-capable profile still runs the
same-turn branch.
- Low risk to the product: only eval code changes.

## Model Used

- Anthropic Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), tool use and code
execution in Claude Code.

f4337bb5fb test(evals): land the chat catalog eval harness on master (#19614)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The chat-feature evals measure whether agents complete real chat
requests through the product
> - The chat catalog eval harness and its repairs live on the
`chat-eval/master-candidate` branch, not on master
> - Today's work made 139 of 242 chat evals pass in verified single-case
live runs. Each product fix landed on master as its own pull request
> - The eval-side changes (setups, graders, fault seams, evidence
capture) still exist only on the candidate
> - This pull request lands the harness on master. Master stays the
source of truth for product behavior
> - The benefit is one tree: evals run against master commits, and
product fixes reach the evals as soon as they merge

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19441, Refs #19599, Refs #20270, Refs #20334, Refs #20342, Refs

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The chat catalog eval harness and the product it evaluates live on a
long-running branch outside master. Eval fixes do not reach master, so
master-based eval runs use old setups and graders.

**Subsystem affected**
`tests/runner-e2e` chat catalog harness, plus a small set of product
changes that exist only on the candidate.

**Proposed change**
Land the harness on master. Every product fix from this eval work
already merged to master as its own pull request. Conflicts keep
master's product behavior.

## What Changed

- Most of the diff (808 of 851 files) is under `tests/runner-e2e/`:
chat-catalog domains, scenarios, descriptors, the TestOps manifest,
private evidence tooling, and their tests.
- Graders now check saved state, setup literals and rendered or clicked
links. Many keyword and regex checks on free-form replies are removed.
Each changed grader has a bumped `oracleVersion` and calibration tests
(a valid reply, a reworded valid reply, and broken variants that must
fail).
- The shared link helper `hasLink` no longer treats a list link (for
example `/COM/issues?view=mine`) as a link to every task without a URL
key.
- Setup fixes build real state through supported product routes: routine
history, agent grants through the board grant route, budget holds with a
real cap, and a storage-layer archive fault for
`inbox-search.archive-partial-failure`.
- Browser boundary journeys (sign-in, chat-disabled, onboarding) now
write the standard pass evidence files.
- Retargeted cases, approved by the maintainer:
`agent-chat.chat-disabled` (Conference Room gate),
`agents.restore-instructions` (no saved instruction history),
`access.manage-membership` (member permission edits stay board-only).
- The private evidence trusted files (`manual-private-handoff.ts`,
`manual-private-retention.ts`, `manual-private-report-assets.ts`) are
byte-identical to master.
- Product files outside `tests/` (43 files, +1,328 −49) carry
candidate-only changes that master does not yet have. Most are tests.
The main code changes are in `request-human-input.ts`,
`heartbeat-run-summary.ts`, `native-completion-feedback.ts`,
`native-run-finalizer.ts`, `openapi.ts`, `secrets.ts` and
`IssueChatLongThreadPerf.tsx`.

## Verification

- `pnpm vitest run chat-catalog-domains chat-catalog-contract.test.ts
chat-catalog-consistency.test.ts unit-launcher.test.mjs
--testTimeout=180000` in `tests/runner-e2e`: 269 files pass, 3,550 tests
pass.
- `node --test chat-full-catalog-testops-manifest.test.mjs`: 10 pass.
- `node tests/runner-e2e/source-sdk-public-inputs.mjs <HEAD> --check`:
no change.
- `tsc` for `server` and `tests/runner-e2e`: clean.
- Live single-case verification: 139 of 242 cases passed on paid runs,
and a person read the saved evidence for each. These are single-case
runs, not one full-cohort run.

## Risks

- Large diff. Most of it is test-only, but the 43 non-test files change
product code paths. Review those files first.
- Some graders are now less strict on reply wording. A person must read
replies for meaning on those cases.
- 42 cases need disposable outside accounts (Notion, Slack, GitHub,
Daytona and others) and stay blocked. `access.invite-teammate` stays
failing until local agent isolation lands, because the runner's durable
state keeps a live invite token.
- The paid workflow compares the trusted private-evidence files with
master. They are unchanged, so this risk is low.

## Model Used

Anthropic Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), with tool use and code
execution, in Claude Code. Subagents used the same model.
