DottaandPaperclip 2f0c485dec fix(skills): ship the completion helper with the installed skill (#15554)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages work for AI agents.
> - Legacy agents use the Paperclip skill to save task status and
comments.
> - The skill names a script relative to the task workspace.
> - That script exists only in the Paperclip source repository.
> - Agents in other workspaces can hit a missing command or search for
it.
> - This PR ships the helper inside the skill and uses the installed
skill path.
> - The repository command remains available through a forwarding
wrapper.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Fixes #9527. Refs #15548 for the preceding runtime checkout guidance.
Related: #6052 addresses LF line endings for the repository helper; this
change addresses helper delivery and path resolution.

## What Changed

- Bundle the existing issue update helper with the Paperclip skill.
Preserve its HTTP checks, echoed-status check and two-attempt limit.
- Resolve the command from the installed skill directory. Use a verified
PATCH when that path is unavailable, without searching the filesystem.
- Keep the repository command as a wrapper that works from any
directory.
- Test shell execution and exact status/comment payloads through both
provider skill-home layouts, including paths with spaces.
- Add helper sources and existing verification tests to stock-harness
admission. Record an absent historical helper explicitly. Add the
missing declaration for the admission fingerprint export.

## Verification

- Complete directly affected source suites: 30 tests pass. They cover
skill delivery, preserved multiline comments and links, authentication
headers, empty responses, mismatched status, transient retries and
definitive rejections.
- Product E2E typecheck passes. Support suites: 1,835 Vitest tests pass,
one is skipped; 128 Node tests pass.
- Full local build and workspace typecheck pass.
- Full local repository tests are not claimed as passed. Embedded
PostgreSQL was unavailable in this worktree during the preceding task;
Linux CI will run the repository gates.
- The authorized matched Codex/Claude comparison is pending. It uses the
existing assigned-skill case and original oracle, one initial attempt
per profile and variant.
- CI and a fresh Greptile review are pending. Keep this PR in draft
until readiness gates complete.

## Risks

- Correct path resolution depends on the harness supplying the installed
skill path. The instructions use verified PATCH when that path is
unavailable.
- The helper still requires Bash, curl and jq. Its existing retry and
response-verification behavior is unchanged.
- Tests use the shared skill-directory symlink mechanism and an HTTP
fixture. Real provider completion behavior still requires the bounded
live comparison.
- This fix does not redesign native completion, legacy recovery or
ambiguous transport handling.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The exact model build and context window are
not exposed in this session. Used code editing, shell tools and test
execution.
