56a0bf0d49 Support test Cloud connector identities (#16033)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Its Cloud connector uses an environment-bound identity to call a
hosted broker.
> - The identity parser and enrollment flow accept development, staging,
and production.
> - A separate test broker needs its own environment identity.
> - This pull request accepts test identities and maps the test broker
to that environment.
> - Known hosted brokers still reject identities from other
environments.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Cloud connector configuration and self-host enrollment.

**Current behavior**

The app rejects an identity with environment `test`. Self-host
enrollment infers development for the test broker.

**Proposed behavior**

Accept `test` identities at `https://test.paperclip.app`. Infer test
during self-host enrollment. Reject development, staging, and production
identities at that broker. Continue to reject test identities at the
production and staging brokers.

**Reason and benefit**

Branch testing needs a separate broker so test identities and requests
stay in their selected environment. The existing identity, enrollment,
and signature flow can provide that isolation with a new allowed
environment value.

**Breaking changes**

Existing environment values and broker checks keep their current
behavior. Older app versions cannot use test connector identities.

## What Changed

- Add `test` to managed and self-hosted connector environment types and
validation, and to the board API enrollment status type.
- Infer test from its hosted broker and enforce the matching
environment.
- Test enrollment persistence, signed request environment/audience
claims, and broker mismatch rejection.
- Document test broker configuration in the development guide.

## Verification

- Connector, enrollment, and board API-client suites passed: 63 tests
across three files. Board UI typecheck and token gates passed after
synchronizing its enrollment response type.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed, including after rebasing
onto current master.
- `pnpm test:run` completed its general server stage: 17,867 passed, 105
skipped, and 9 failed across 5 files. The runner stops at that failing
stage, so it did not run subsequent workspace/serialized stages locally.
All nine failures also reproduce on the unchanged base commit in a
separate checkout. Five skill-related cases resolve an unrelated
ancestor skills directory; two workspace cases accept a remote main
branch that their fixture expects to be absent; two permission-cleanup
cases return macOS `ENOTEMPTY` instead of the expected permission error.
- Current-head GitHub CI passed, including full general and serialized
test suites, typecheck, build, runner checks, and browser e2e. Greptile
is 5/5 with no unresolved comments.
- `git diff --check` and Gitleaks passed.

## Risks

The new environment value is additive. The test broker must support test
identities before use. This change preserves existing signature
handling, managed identity overrides, and rejection of mismatched
identities at known hosted brokers. A local full-suite pass is not
claimed; the nine failures above also occur without this change.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with reasoning and tool execution. The exact
serving model ID and context window are not exposed in this session.
