Devin FoleyandPaperclip 144083fd48 fix(interactions): wait for workspace readiness before enabling approval (#14893)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people manage AI agents and review their work.
> - Task confirmations must use the work produced by their source run.
> - The server blocks approval while that run still needs to sync its
workspace.
> - The card currently enables approval before that check can pass, so
an ordinary click produces an error.
> - This PR exposes the existing readiness check and shows “Preparing
approval…” with acceptance disabled.
> - The card refreshes itself and enables approval when the source
workspace settles.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A confirmation appears while its source run is still preparing or
syncing its workspace. Its enabled approval button returns a conflict
asking the user to retry after syncing.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run an agent in an isolated workspace.
2. Have it create a confirmation before workspace finalization
completes.
3. Click the approval button while the source workspace is still active.

**Expected behavior**

The card explains that approval is preparing. Acceptance becomes
available automatically when the same server check permits it. Reject
and revise remain available.

Related work: #10770 handles this conflict after a click with retries.
#9520 proposes changing the workspace acceptance barrier. This PR
preserves that barrier and exposes readiness before the click, including
in compact task chat. It preserves the terminal-finalize behavior from
#10099.

## What Changed

- Add an optional, read-only `acceptanceBlocker` to interaction
responses. Readiness uses the existing source-run workspace predicate,
with one check per pending source run.
- Disable acceptance and show a shared preparation notice in classic and
compact confirmation cards, including checkbox and secret-binding
confirmations.
- Refresh preparing cards every two seconds in task detail, attention,
pipelines, and Skill Studio. Restore each surface's previous polling
cadence when preparation clears.
- Preserve live tool reviews, questions, rejection, revision, and the
server acceptance barrier. No automatic acceptance occurs.
- Document the preparation state and cover readiness, terminal sync
outcomes, unrelated runs, historical cards, and automatic refresh.

## Verification

- Focused service, card, query-refresh, and helper tests: 217 passed
across five files.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed.
- `pnpm build`: passed.
- `pnpm build-storybook`: passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates`: passed.
- `pnpm test:run`: incomplete locally. Stopped after about 17 minutes
once it reproduced seven existing environment failures: two Slack tests
and two email tests lack ancestor-directory skill fixtures; three
company-skills tests fail on macOS runtime-cache staging permissions.
These are outside this change. The full CI test matrix passed.
- CI: all 53 checks passed; two optional Storybook jobs were skipped.
The branch has no conflicts with `master`.
- Greptile: 5/5 on commit `8a6f216d8d`, with no review threads.
- Reviewed added lines and new files for credentials, private URLs,
internal task references, user paths, and run artifacts. None found.

## Risks

- No database migration or change to acceptance authorization. Readiness
is advisory; the server still enforces its existing gate at acceptance.
- An open preparing card adds a read every two seconds. This cadence
stops after readiness clears; historical cards add no workspace checks.
- Failed or stale finalization retains the existing server behavior.
This PR does not change recovery policy.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex. The exact serving model ID and
context-window size are not exposed in this session. Used reasoning,
repository inspection, tool execution, and automated tests. No
sub-agents.
