Dotta 4fe3189f02 feat(runner): bridge Codex ACPX questions (#12408)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The runner package gives provider sessions one normalized execution
contract.
> - The merged Codex ACPX path can run and recover settled turns.
> - It cannot yet send a structured provider question through the
existing Paperclip question boundary.
> - Provider questions must not expose ACPX-specific data to later
server integrations.
> - Every pending provider request must also settle on resolution,
handoff, cancellation, failure, or close.
> - This pull request adds a bounded Codex ACPX form bridge inside the
runner package.
> - The benefit is a provider-neutral question flow with fail-closed
lifecycle handling.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #12407

This pull request builds on the settled Codex ACPX recovery path merged
in #12407. It adds only package-local structured-question support for
Codex ACPX sessions.

## What Changed

- Enable ACPX form elicitation for the Codex runtime and pass its
handler through the runtime host boundary.
- Normalize ACPX forms to `paperclip.question_set.v1` and emit
`paperclip.runtime_request.v2` events.
- Validate `paperclip.question_response.v1` resolutions before
conversion to ACP form responses.
- Support explicit resolution and durable handoff. Cancel pending
requests on provider abort, stream failure, turn settlement, and session
close.
- Limit each session to 16 pending requests. Reject unsupported input
modes, regular expression patterns, session-wide acceptance, stale
turns, and late responses.
- Fail closed under bounded event-queue pressure: cancel an input whose
creation event cannot be retained, and preserve a live request when its
durable-handoff event cannot be retained.
- Persist pending-request facts in snapshots and reject recovery while a
provider request is still pending.
- Add focused driver, runtime-adapter, and runtime-host regression tests
for round trips, aborts, stream failures, handoff, and handler
forwarding.

## Verification

- Replay base: `96421b0663d8b740ac5d5d53359aef65c5a158ca` (`master`
after #12407 merged).
- Exact replay head: `d8184502e1c4570d1003379365850f3419f64d82`.
- Stable patch ID for the exact replay delta:
`00807ebfcd1b153f759366db023437b681d69017`.
- The pull request delta contains exactly these six files:
  - `packages/paperclip-runner/src/drivers/acpx/codex-acpx-driver.ts`
- `packages/paperclip-runner/src/drivers/acpx/codex-acpx-driver.test.ts`
- `packages/paperclip-runner/src/drivers/acpx/codex-runtime-adapter.ts`
-
`packages/paperclip-runner/src/drivers/acpx/codex-runtime-adapter.test.ts`
  - `packages/paperclip-runner/src/drivers/acpx/runtime-host.ts`
  - `packages/paperclip-runner/src/drivers/acpx/runtime-host.test.ts`
- The exact combined delta is 716 additions and 14 deletions.
- This change does not add a dependency, lockfile update, migration,
workflow, server route, UI change, documentation file, or public package
export.
- GitHub Actions run `33351323368` passed the full matrix on the exact
replay head, including Paperclip Runner verification, build,
typecheck/release-registry, general and serialized server suites,
canary, and all e2e shards.
- Superagent, Socket, Snyk, contributor-trust, policy, and PR-review
checks pass on the exact replay head.
- Greptile reviewed the exact replay head at 5/5 with no blocking
finding and zero review threads.
- No local test result is claimed. GitHub Actions is the authoritative
verification environment for the replayed revision.

## Risks

This change has medium package-local risk because it connects
provider-owned input to durable runner state. Unsupported modes and
unbounded patterns fail closed. The pending-request limit bounds
retained provider state. Provider abort, turn settlement, stream
failure, and session close cancel live questions. A durable handoff
expires the request before it interrupts the turn. Recovery rejects a
snapshot that still contains a pending provider request. Existing direct
adapters, server selection, and task-page behavior do not use this
route.
