Constantineandcucurigoo b42efe2063 fix(ui): gate built-in agent sidebar query (#10116)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open-source control plane people use to manage AI
agents and their work.
> - The sidebar renders company agents and, when enabled, their built-in
lifecycle state.
> - The built-in-agents API is intentionally unavailable when the
experimental feature is disabled.
> - `SidebarAgents` nevertheless queried that endpoint whenever a
company was selected, producing routine 404s in normal feature-off
installations.
> - The query must be gated by the shared instance setting, including
its unresolved state, without exposing stale cached lifecycle badges.
> - This pull request adds that gate and focused disabled, unresolved,
and enabled regressions.
> - The benefit is a quiet sidebar network path with unchanged behavior
for installations that enable built-in agents.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

### Pre-submission checklist

- [x] I searched existing open and closed issues/PRs and found no exact
duplicate. Related but not duplicate: #4149.
- [x] I reproduced this on current `master`.
- [x] I confirmed the error originates in Paperclip's sidebar query
gating, not an adapter, provider, or local configuration.

### What happened?

With `enableBuiltInAgents: false`, mounting `SidebarAgents` for a
selected company still called `GET
/api/companies/:companyId/built-in-agents`. The server correctly
returned 404 because the experimental feature was disabled.

### Expected behavior

The sidebar must not call the built-in-agent endpoint until the shared
experimental setting resolves to exactly `true`. Cached built-in
lifecycle state must also remain hidden while disabled.

### Steps to reproduce

1. Set `enableBuiltInAgents` to `false`.
2. Open any company so the sidebar agent list mounts.
3. Observe a request to `/api/companies/:companyId/built-in-agents` and
a 404 response.

### Environment

- Paperclip commit: `f2f168f6a10a24c924516808f414baba52b1c080`
- Deployment mode: self-hosted server
- Installation method: built from source
- Adapter: not adapter-specific (core UI bug)
- Database mode: not database-related
- Access context: board (human operator)
- Node.js: `v22.22.3`
- Operating system: Linux
- Relevant config: `{"enableBuiltInAgents": false}`
- Relevant output: redacted HTTP 404 from
`/api/companies/:companyId/built-in-agents`
- Privacy: all instance-local identifiers, paths, and output were
omitted or redacted.

## What Changed

- Read instance experimental settings in `SidebarAgents` through the
shared React Query key.
- Enable the built-in-agent list query only when `enableBuiltInAgents`
is explicitly `true`.
- Ignore cached built-in lifecycle data while the feature is disabled.
- Add regressions for disabled, unresolved, and enabled settings states.

## Verification

- RED before implementation: the disabled-feature regression failed
because `builtInAgentsApi.list` was called once.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/components/SidebarAgents.test.tsx` — 24 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec tsc -p tsconfig.json --pretty
false` — passed.
- `git diff --check` — passed.
- The existing test file emits pre-existing React `act(...)` warnings
while passing.

## Risks

- Low risk: request gating only; no API, schema, migration, or visible
UI contract changes.
- A stale experimental-settings cache could delay enabling the query
until the normal settings invalidation/refetch path runs; this is the
same shared query key already used elsewhere.
- Cached built-in statuses are deliberately hidden whenever the setting
is not literal `true`.

> 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-5.6-sol` was used with reasoning, repository/file
tools, shell command execution, and delegated read-only code review. The
runtime did not expose a context-window size.

## Checklist

- [x] I have included a thinking path that traces from project context
to this change
- [x] I have specified the model used (with version and capability
details)
- [x] I have checked ROADMAP.md and confirmed this PR does not duplicate
planned core work
- [x] I have searched GitHub for duplicate or related PRs and linked
them above
- [x] I have either (a) linked existing issues with `Fixes: #` / `Closes
#` / `Refs #` OR (b) described the issue in-PR following the relevant
issue template
- [x] I have not referenced internal/instance-local Paperclip issues or
links (only public GitHub `#NNN` / `github.com/paperclipai/paperclip`
URLs)
- [x] My branch name describes the change (e.g. `docs/...`, `fix/...`)
and contains no internal Paperclip ticket id or instance-derived details
- [x] I have run tests locally and they pass
- [x] I have added or updated tests where applicable
- [x] I have updated relevant documentation to reflect my changes (no
documentation change needed; this enforces the existing feature flag)
- [x] I have considered and documented any risks above
- [x] All Paperclip CI gates are green
- [x] Greptile is 5/5 with no open P2s, recommendations, or follow-ups
- [x] I will address all Greptile and reviewer comments before
requesting merge
