DottaandPaperclip 2badf8a4a5 fix(evals): verify native QA replies on the reloaded task thread (#18248)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents that do work for users.
> - Product E2E journeys check user outcomes on real deployments.
> - Native task threads can render saved final replies from a settled
run.
> - The new QA Plan and Stop checks looked only for agent comments.
> - Both flows reached the requested terminal state and showed the
correct reply, but that storage assumption rejected them.
> - This PR checks the reloaded visible reply and binds it to the final
successful run. Explicit presentation decisions remain authoritative.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18222 and #18244.

**What happened?**

The deployed Plan journey completed all three native runs, including
revision and approval. Stop completed native cancellation, resource
release and a new direction. Their final-answer checks failed because
the comments endpoint did not contain the rendered native reply. The
original failed grades remain unchanged.

**Expected behavior**

Require exactly one correct visible final answer after reload,
attributed to the final successful owned run. Reject an earlier run,
progress text, hidden content, duplicate answers or a cancelled run. If
its selected completion comment is projected, require that comment and
matching author/run/text. Otherwise require a single durable final
assistant message and its settled native final-response anchor.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the Plan or Stop journey on a native deployment whose task thread
renders the settled run before a completion comment is projected.

## What Changed

- Add a narrow reply observer over the existing task-thread hooks. It
reloads the page and refreshes saved run/comment metadata while waiting.
- Bind native replies to a validated durable final assistant event and
the successful run's settled final-response anchor. Require the selected
comment when projected; support pending or suppressed projection without
accepting a summary fallback. Accept payload and item-normalized finals,
rejecting contradictory fields.
- Use the observer for Plan completion and Stop's new direction. Keep
existing run counts, deployment binding, cancellation and artifact
checks.
- Add negative grading tests, include the helper in the definition hash,
and document its evidence contract. Classic protocol comment matchers
are unchanged.

## Verification

- 63 focused tests passed across native reply evidence, agent evidence
and journey contracts.
- Product E2E TypeScript passed. The reply observer uses the remaining
journey deadline and backs off polling.
- Live Plan and Stop attempts exposed this grading failure. Their
original outcomes remain failed; fresh qualification is required after
merge.
- Full current-head CI passed at
`40840ed742977853630d733292461ad7003fc7fb`; Greptile and Paperclip
Review both scored 5/5, with zero unresolved review threads.

## Risks

The observer depends on existing task-thread test hooks and run anchors.
Missing or changed hooks fail closed. It reads rendered user-facing
text; a finish summary alone cannot satisfy it. Native event provenance,
run ownership and exact reply equality are required. No backend, model,
provider, budget or cancellation policy changes are included.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The exact serving model ID and context
window are not exposed by this session. Used reasoning, source editing,
shell execution and test inspection.
