DottaandPaperclip b07b2994cc feat: stamp responsible users on activity logs (#9731)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the control plane people use to manage AI-agent
companies and their work
> - The activity log is the generic audit spine for mutations across the
control plane
> - Activity rows identify agents and runs, but they do not persist the
responsible human upstream
> - Relying only on run joins loses attribution after run pruning and
misses agent API-key actions outside a run
> - This pull request resolves responsible-user attribution when each
activity row is written and stores it directly
> - The benefit is durable, queryable agent audit feeds without
rewriting historical provenance

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

### Problem or motivation

Agent activity records do not persist the responsible user, so
attribution can disappear when runs are pruned and no-run API-key
mutations cannot be attributed correctly.

### Proposed solution

Resolve attribution for each new activity row from the run, related
issue, active agent API key, or company default, in that order, and
persist the result directly.

### Alternatives considered

Read-time joins alone were rejected because pruned runs lose durable
attribution and out-of-run agent-key actions have no run to join.
Historical backfill was rejected because it would invent provenance.

### Roadmap alignment

This strengthens the durable audit-trail direction described in
`ROADMAP.md` without adding a new product surface.

## What Changed

- Added nullable `activity_log.responsible_user_id` plus
company/agent/time and company/responsible-user/time indexes.
- Added an idempotent forward-only migration with no historical
backfill.
- Added centralized write-time resolution: heartbeat run → issue
attribution → active agent API key → company default.
- Propagated authenticated API-key IDs through existing request-backed
`logActivity()` calls.
- Added unit coverage for every fallback and an embedded-Postgres
assertion for the no-run API-key stamping path.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/activity-log-responsible-user.test.ts
src/__tests__/authz-company-access.test.ts`
- Initial focused verification: 25 tests passed; migration safety
passed.
- Follow-up regression verification: 54 focused
attribution/company-skill/environment/issue-tree/tool-gateway tests
passed; server typecheck passed.
- GitHub: full build, typecheck, server shards, serialized suites, e2e,
security, and policy checks passed.

## Risks

- Adding two indexes to an existing large table can hold a write lock
while the transactional migration runs. The migration safety
suppressions document why `CONCURRENTLY` is unavailable under the
current Drizzle migration runner.
- Historical rows remain nullable by design; this avoids inventing
provenance and keeps the migration forward-only.
- API-key attribution requires request-backed activity call sites to
pass the authenticated key ID; this PR mechanically updates the existing
actor-based activity calls and covers the no-run path with integration
testing.

> For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and
discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap
with planned core work may need to be redirected — check the roadmap
first. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex, `gpt-5.4`; context-window size was not exposed by the
runtime. Medium reasoning with repository editing, terminal execution,
and test execution capabilities was used.
