DottaandPaperclip 9786f6df56 fix(runner): preserve credential content in document saves (#14937 )

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Runner sends authorized tool calls to the control plane.
> - Agents use these calls to save plans and instruction files.
> - The Runner used diagnostic secret detection to reject execution
arguments.
> - Ordinary credential-related prose could reject a document save
before persistence.
> - This pull request forwards the original arguments and leaves
credential policy to the provider harness.
> - The benefit is reliable saves with useful diagnostic records.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related foundation: Refs #12415 and #14430. No duplicate save-policy fix
was found.

**What happened?**

A `write_document` call failed before the server saved its plan. The
Runner reported `semantic tool input contains credential material;
refusing to execute altered arguments`. The detector also masked
ordinary phrases such as `secret manager` and `credential handling` in
diagnostics. Both TypeScript dispatchers had equivalent execution gates.
One dispatcher also rewrote structured approval and question payloads
before execution.

**Expected behavior**

Paperclip forwards authorized arguments unchanged. The provider harness
decides credential-content policy. Log and audit redaction does not
reject or rewrite save input.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Send an authorized `write_document` call with a plan that discusses
credential handling.
2. Include an intentional credential value in the body to exercise
harness-owned policy.
3. The old Runner rejects the call. With this change, the document
service stores the exact body.
4. Diagnostic records still mask explicit credential values. Qualified
credential fields, short bearer values, opaque diagnostic pairs, and
valid encoded JSON token headers have regression coverage.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced at `c46e41e81c03cd3c8b64cf993615b604d7fe8c62`. The branch is
based on current `master`.

**Deployment mode**

Server deployment with the native Paperclip Runner. Local regression
tests use the real document service and an embedded test database.

## What Changed

- Remove credential-content vetoes from Rust admission and both
TypeScript semantic dispatchers.
- Preserve original structured approval and question arguments during
execution.
- Keep transport bounds, schema checks, authorization, idempotency, and
audit masking.
- Require explicit credential syntax or recognized formats for
diagnostic masking. Preserve ordinary prose, metadata, and dotted
identifiers.
- Test exact document persistence, replay, nested argument identities,
and masked audit copies.
- Remove obsolete retry guidance and document harness-owned credential
policy.

## Verification

- `cargo test --manifest-path
packages/paperclip-runner/runner/Cargo.toml --locked -p
paperclip-runner-core --lib --test acpx_event_payload --test
acpx_provider_state --test acpx_provider_turns`: 355 tests passed.
- Focused server and adapter tests: 189 tests passed after rebase. These
include the real document save and the complete tool-gateway suite.
- Semantic dispatcher and conformance tests: 34 tests passed.
- Diagnostic redaction and MCP tests: 46 tests passed, including all six
review examples.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed on the repaired branch.
- The broad local root suite was interrupted after database fixture
setup failures. The focused database suites passed. CI runs the complete
configured test lanes.

## Risks

- Authorized tool arguments can intentionally contain credentials. The
harness must enforce its content policy.
- Diagnostic detection is narrower. Explicit assignments, credential
fields, and recognized credential formats remain masked.
- The change does not add a database migration or change company
authorization.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex. The session exposes the GPT-6 model
family; its exact runtime model identifier and context window size are
not exposed. Used reasoning, tool use, and code execution.

@paperclipai/adapter-utils

Shared utilities for Paperclip adapters: process spawning, environment injection, sandbox/SSH transport, workspace sync, and the round-trip helpers that move code between the local execution-workspace cwd and wherever the agent actually runs.

For the adapter-author guide see docs/adapters/creating-an-adapter.md and the in-repo notes at packages/adapters/AUTHORING.md.

No-remote-git contract

The local execution-workspace cwd is the only persistence boundary across runs. No adapter may depend on a git remote for cross-run state.

Adapters that run the agent on a different host should use the SSH round-trip helpers in src/ssh.ts:

prepareWorkspaceForSshExecution({ spec, localDir, remoteDir }) — bundles the local cwd (tracked files, dirty edits, untracked additions, and the git history needed to reconstruct it) to remoteDir before the run starts. Runs with no git remote configured.
restoreWorkspaceFromSshExecution({ spec, localDir, remoteDir, ... }) — syncs the remote cwd back into localDir after the run, including any new commits the agent created. Also runs with no git remote configured.

prepareRemoteManagedRuntime in src/remote-managed-runtime.ts wraps both calls for adapters that want a per-run remote workspace and an automatic restoreWorkspace() finally hook.

The invariant is pinned by the no-remote-git contract case in src/ssh-fixture.test.ts, which asserts that a remote-only commit propagates to the local worktree through the prepare → restore round-trip with no git remote configured at any point. Do not regress that test.
