Dotta 9c6993f0aa test(evals): pin corrected chat catalog and restore retained attachments (#19135)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip uses real Product E2E journeys to verify agent work.
> - The trusted TestOps controller must bind the reviewed source and
retain inspectable evidence.
> - The last uniform attempt exposed bounded observation and
evidence-retention defects. Its original outcomes remain unchanged.
> - The reviewed successor corrects those boundaries with the original
model, requests, counts, and clocks.
> - Its private framework report stores canonical attachments once. The
controller must validate and restore those references before normal
reporting.
> - This PR ports that reader support and pins the qualified source in
one infrastructure change. It does not merge the full catalog or its
core repair PRs.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The last uniform attempt retained real failed outcomes. It also lost the
multipart-question original when evidence packaging exceeded its
unchanged physical byte allowance. Review found independent boundaries
in skill navigation, announcement observation, timeline attribution,
hire history, credential questions, and team visibility.

**Expected behavior**

The next run must execute the same ten requests against one reviewed
source. The controller must retain complete original evidence, validate
private attachment references, and report the actual outcome. Historical
failures and missing-original UNKNOWN grades must remain unchanged.

**Steps to reproduce**

Use the focused source controls linked above. The private framework
control uses a real failed Playwright test and a 140 MiB attachment.
Legacy duplicate carriers hit the old cap. Canonical original evidence
passes both seals and strict archive restoration. The controller
restores derived files and the existing TestOps exporter preserves the
failed result.

**Paperclip version/commit**

Qualified candidate: `155dd1bc1c4b85ae107f6a0cd429720caa281367`. The
controller port is based on current master. The full candidate catalog
stays on its own immutable branch.

**Deployment mode**

Existing AWS/TestOps job 100, plan 102, branch master. This PR does not
dispatch a run.

## What Changed

- Pin the published qualified source and its exact launcher and
descriptor fixtures.
- Preserve current manifest history. Update twelve declaration fields
across eleven cases: oracle versions and skill source-file provenance
only. Preserve all 244 identities, 242 canonical declarations, queries,
setup, human/native counts, clocks, profile, model, retry policy, and
global cap of 8.
- Port the exact source-owned compact framework helper and
private-transfer reader. Keep the three existing required
source/controller protocol helpers byte-identical.
- Validate both sealed inventories before restoring registered
attachments into the derived selected report tree. Verify exact bytes
and hashes. Preserve seals and unregistered evidence.
- Keep deep JSON, decoded-body, sensitive-key, path, and original/final
status checks. Plain-text bodies and registered plain files fail closed
if existing diagnostic redaction would change them; JSON remains under
structured inspection. Keep all existing physical byte, entry, ZIP,
time, privacy, and archive bounds.
- Preserve registered clean metadata and attachment bytes. Reject
content that needs privacy redaction instead of silently rewriting
immutable evidence.

## Verification

- 131 existing Node pin, selection, admission, adapter, reconciliation,
and security controls pass. The explicit new target assertion and drift
negatives remain active.
- 86 current-controller controls pass. They cover legacy reports,
privacy and static assets, canonical reference guards, both seals,
strict archive restoration, derived files, the actual report normalizer,
and the actual TestOps/Allure exporter. The original failed result stays
failed; screenshot and trace hashes resolve.
- Actual P1 controls reject both an unknown password in a decoded
plain-text body and an unknown command token in a registered text file.
Parent code fails both controls; corrected code passes. The composed
source passes 87 affected controls, fresh server declarations, and full
E2E typechecking. The old cfe head completed all 49 CI jobs without
adverse conclusions, but its review found this real privacy defect. That
CI result is not credited to this successor.
- The existing report-lock preflight returns already-reviewed at
`60f4c06bca47af3ab9d74281f2ef2e1ff559d566b862ba51c2fbe6c8e5bac35b`.
- The existing source SDK guard confirms 506 registered inputs,
unchanged registry
`efa70621e9fb42aa185f7ee616a1a726aa3eccb367e67e28817cedf26ef2ade8`, and
unchanged runtime pins. No registry renewal or SDK build was needed.
- Source launcher SHA-256:
`2b9a6953ee51f0ea0dbbd475b0491d9a6c39a1d6835eeaa912e0dbb7cf987724`.
Descriptor SHA-256:
`e026d5c000102f8d50397dc59055d187388304f91dbca9a6ccfbe747004cd16d`.
- No model call, evaluation dispatch, evidence download, reporting
retry, core merge, or permission change was performed. Full current-head
CI and review are pending. Separate source PR failures remain disclosed;
local controls do not establish universal source CI readiness.
- Seven cases have verified passing historical attempts. A uniform
passing ten-case run remains unverified. The old lost multipart-question
original remains UNKNOWN.

## Risks

This changes a trusted evidence reader and the source selected for
future measurements. The new helper is included in the controller import
closure. Compact references require matching originals; missing,
foreign, changed, unsafe, or redaction-required evidence fails closed.
Legacy reporter formats remain valid. A single canonical evidence set
can still exceed a bound. Current-head CI and material review must pass
before normal protected merge. Actual AWS/TestOps evidence remains
required afterward.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol`, with reasoning, code editing, and tool use. The
host does not expose the context-window size.
