Nicky LeachandPaperclip 9f4a956b90 Add durable agent runtime synchronization hooks (#16499)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents and their runtime configuration.
> - Plugins can maintain external agent computers.
> - Configuration and file saves currently miss durable plugin delivery.
> - A transient activity notification cannot recover after interruption.
> - This pull request adds an opt-in agent runtime resource stream.
> - The existing dispatcher delivers and acknowledges its committed
work.
> - Plugins can prepare computers when configuration changes.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #15631 and #16203 establish agent lifecycle and native durable
delivery.

**Problem**

Plugins cannot reliably react to agent configuration and instruction
changes without polling or waiting for execution.

**Proposed solution**

Add an opt-in `agent_runtime` stream to the existing resource journal.
Record changes at the database mutation and managed file audit
boundaries. Wake the dispatcher with content-free commit notifications.
Provide scoped runtime inputs to the selected lifecycle plugin.

**Alternatives considered**

Route-only activity events miss service and background writers.
Scheduled scans delay changes and repeatedly query unchanged state.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends the existing plugin and agent configuration work.

## What Changed

- Add durable update/delete events for agent runtime state, including an
existing-agent baseline.
- Capture configuration changes, instruction edits, deletion, restore,
and managed run writeback.
- Add commit notifications and a reconnect scan. Register one listener
for configured, enabled runtime subscribers. Release it when none
remain.
- Keep HTTP startup independent of queued plugin callbacks.
- Add `ctx.agents.getRuntime`. Require lifecycle capability, invocation
company, enabled plugin, and owning lifecycle selection.
- Keep legacy agent/project subscriptions isolated. Manual inbox reads
retain both legacy streams.
- Resolve recovered instruction paths without reading or hashing bundle
contents. Use the company reporting graph for runtime health.
- Repair missed file events on identical save/deletion retries after a
journal failure; preserve content tokens and conditional-write checks.
- Correlate file audits with runtime revisions to deduplicate recorded
retries without a new table. Bound the lookup with the existing
company/timestamp index.
- Document the contract, migration, access boundaries, and
session-connection requirement.

## Verification

- Rebased the full stack onto origin/master after #16507.
- Final replayed stack: `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed.
- All 132 affected runtime, skill, connector, publication, instruction,
managed-agent, and delivery tests passed after the latest-master rebase.
Workspace typecheck and build passed.
- Journal failure injection verifies recovery on identical file writes,
deletions, and instruction retries from an acknowledged inbox.
- Deduplication follow-up: 80 runtime/instruction/delivery tests and
server typecheck passed. Repeated retries create no audit/events; old
hashes returning after an intervening commit still repair delivery.
Built-in/native instruction writer regressions passed all 56 tests.
- PR 1 follow-up tests cover valid/cyclic reporting chains, listener
registration failure, multiple subscribers, global/company disable,
re-enable, unload, and startup with blocked callbacks.
- Database coverage includes rollback, journal failure, no-op
suppression, file saves/deletion, ordering/replay, owner/company denial,
independent-client commits, and real listener loss/reconnect.
- SDK/shared suites passed 1,059 tests during implementation.
CLI/delivery regressions also passed.
- Migration safety, map checks, diff whitespace, and local secrets/PII
scan passed.
- Hosted CI and security checks are fully green at `b296405e2`. Standard
Greptile and Apex both returned 5/5 with no unresolved findings.
- The broad local suite encountered an unchanged diagnostic test that
rejects the word "private" from an error stack. This worktree lives
under /private/tmp. The same unchanged diagnostic suite passed all 108
tests in the original checkout. Hosted full-suite checks provide
exact-head verification.

## Risks

- Apply migration 0347 before enabling a runtime subscriber. Runtime
notifications require session-level PostgreSQL LISTEN. Transaction-mode
poolers are unsupported for this opt-in feature.
- Database triggers share the mutation transaction. Journal failure
prevents configuration commits. Trigger work adds a journal insert to
relevant changes.
- Filesystem publication and SQL commit are separate boundaries. Direct
filesystem edits do not emit hooks. External clients must fence stale
revisions and retain conditional-write checks.
- The reader returns only that plugin's own instance secrets. Keep them
out of UI data, logs, plugin state, and agent files.
- No private transport integration or live remote computer qualification
is included.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with reasoning, repository inspection, code
execution, and testing. The exact deployment model ID and context window
