DottaandPaperclip 8f50704135 fix(e2e): wait for pending native recovery (#18298)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents and their work.
> - Native runs can retain a bounded automatic recovery on the same run.
> - Product E2E observes those runs before it checks the delivered work.
> - The onboarding journey treated every failed run as a final failure,
even when the server had saved its next recovery attempt.
> - This pull request waits only for the explicit agent-owned native
recovery projection.
> - The journey still requires successful execution and the same
independent delivery checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The onboarding journey can stop after a native turn completes without
its semantic result. The server marks that attempt failed and saves a
same-run retry. The journey rejects the failed row before the saved
retry is due. This also affects a native child that follows a proven
workspace deferral.

**Expected behavior**

Observe the saved automatic recovery within the original campaign
deadline and run cap. A pending recovery cannot satisfy completion.
Ordinary failures and exhausted, terminal, or board-owned recovery must
still fail.

**Steps to reproduce**

Use the existing onboarding fixture with a native failed row whose
nativePhase is retryable_failure. Give it the server-owned
native_session_interrupted cause, an agent-owned retry_scheduled
projection, a valid retry time, and attempt 1 of 3. Transition that same
row through reconnecting and running to success. The old journey rejects
the first row.

Related public context: #18292. A search of related native-recovery PRs
found no duplicate harness fix.

## What Changed

- Observe the authenticated native recovery state in the existing
workspace-deferral module. Require matching nonempty cause strings and
every owner, phase, attempt, schedule, deadline, scope, and successor
guard.
- Apply it to the proposal wait, failed native rows, workspace successor
tails, and final settlement.
- Keep defensive rejection of known permanent, permission-declined, and
exhausted causes. Diagnostic cause strings are not a positive retry
policy.
- Add behavioral recovery, deadline, and rejection controls to the
existing workflow tests.
- Document that this wait preserves the original campaign and final
delivery requirements.

## Verification

- Baseline workflow regression: 4 expected premature failures with 90
controls passing. The final structural calibration rejected 20 valid
pending-recovery cases before the correction, with 120 controls passing.
- Final regression: 140/140 pass, including existing and new diagnostic
causes on direct and workspace-successor paths. Known terminal,
ambiguous, malformed, mismatched, and exhausted states still fail.
- Focused Product E2E compatibility: 297/297 pass across 10 files.
- pnpm test:e2e:runner:typecheck: pass after building the normal SDK and
Runner TypeScript dependencies.
- git diff --check: pass.
- Final source passed these checks before the reviewed commit.
- Full repository tests/build and live Cloud acceptance were not run
locally for this harness-only change. Required CI run 41049692194 passed
on 04dedd7d. Live acceptance remains separate.

## Risks

The execution projection is a polling observation, not dispatch
authority. A server that never resumes can hold this wait until the
original deadline. The predicate requires matching native interruption
state and cause, an agent owner, a bounded attempt and schedule, and no
successor. Known terminal-code rejection is a defensive check, not the
authority to retry. The journey must still observe actual success and
pass its document, artifact, download, and parent-link checks.

## Model Used

OpenAI gpt-6.1-sol, ultra reasoning, inherited from the parent runtime
metadata. Context window size is unavailable. Used source inspection,
code edits, shell tools, Git, and deterministic tests.
