DottaandPaperclip 1f55073f96 fix(cursor-cloud): support API-only controllers on managed stacks (#18310)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents at work.
> - Cursor Cloud hosts execution behind its API.
> - Product setup still expected a Paperclip Computer.
> - Managed-only tenants therefore rejected valid setup.
> - This admits the validated API-owned controller.
> - Authority, Stop proof, budgets and cleanup remain enforced.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18068 and #18069; both dependencies have merged.

**What happened?**

Managed-only setup still requested a Computer. Live tests exposed
missing Cursor Stop proof and duplicate replay.

**Expected behavior**

Use Cursor’s API controller. Verify provider/controller termination and
replay each log identity once.

**Steps to reproduce**

Enable native Runner/managed-only. Configure Cursor model/repository/key
without a Computer, then Test, finish setup, run and Stop.

## What Changed

- Derive API-only placement from validated native Cursor configuration;
reject placement/command/workspace/home overrides and keep
Kubernetes-only execution closed.
- Skip Computers/checkout/workspace realization. Keep scoped tools,
completion, private staging, budgets, leases and recovery. Persist
placement; reject contradictions.
- Align Cloud cards, Test, Save and Finish setup; hold unready drafts.
Legacy keeps its Computer, credential and policy checks.
- Verify Stop from exact API ownership, audited intent,
provider-terminal proof, no Computer/process ownership and controller
retirement. Recheck immediate/deferred retirement; wake existing
recovery on durable evidence.
- Clear warnings when the actual stopped target later has authoritative
confirmation. Keep missing/other-run negatives and the existing
predicate.
- Publish safe status refresh after full-proof ACK. Retain bounded
native/physical cancellation history; add no poller or weaker proof
path.

## Verification

Core merged as `3910352c923a`; Product merged as `27d35314be8e`. Public
branch `5f86eb66b081` has tree `67344151d303`. Its exact-head Greptile
summary is 5/5; the fresh audit found zero unresolved threads and
complete pagination. The controlled workspace retry and required summary
passed. All 59 current-head contexts are terminal and clean. Prior
green-36 evidence keeps its identity.

[Current
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41680511731)
first failed workspaces-a 1/2: the CLI company-import/export beforeAll
30-second runtime-info/child-PID/HTTP readiness wait expired. All 431 UI
files/4,714 tests and 285 other CLI tests passed (one skip). The cause
remains UNKNOWN. Child output records startup recovery complete, but
buffered CI prefixes do not establish its relation to the waiter
deadline; runtime-file/PID/last-health state was not captured. Both
unchanged local probes were RED. The second observed dependency
preflight still pending at the deadline; observer overhead was not
quantified. Neither proves the CI cause. After all functional jobs
finished, only the queued metadata summary was cancelled; the other 48
records stayed unchanged. Attempt 1 retains 46 successes, the original
failure, one skip and the cancelled summary. One same-head debug retry
was admitted at 18:42 UTC on November 3. Its workspace job passed at
19:23 UTC on the same checkout: UI 431 files/4,714 tests and CLI 33
files/286 tests, including company import/export. Test caching was
disabled. The new `ci / verify` summary passed; workflow attempt 2
completed SUCCESS. Required `ci / e2e` also passed. The final check at
19:53 UTC on November 3 found all 59 current-head contexts terminal and
clean: zero pending and zero failing. The 47 inherited completed/skipped
rows are not new executions. No code, assertion or timeout changed;
success does not explain the original failure or erase the local REDs.

CI checkout is `1ea9d8608ced`/tree `78cb1ec13d59` (parents
`2e37c73c05fe`, 5f86); both workflows use 2e37. Its 20 extra paths add
low-memory build/Rust task-memory. Scripts cohere; later matrix changes
only labels, with no newer debug-cache steps. Static audit found no
blocker. Supported API arguments omit the memory flag: no default
monitor/instruction changes. Flagged external launchers can change
Cursor instructions/digests and remain unqualified.

The merge added 41 master-identical paths, retained the green-36 inbox
hunk and found UI fixtures matching upstream. Startup/backup, recovery
projection, sleep diagnostics and binary backup change production.
Static audit found eight Stop/ACK owner blobs and 37 sleep-work SQL
templates unchanged, with sleep fences/single-flight accounting intact.
Exact precommit tree: 416/416 across eight server files, binary backup
1/1, server types PASS; repeated scopes are not summed.

The deferred-retirement P1 reproduced three real-DB/owned-process
failures; missing proof stayed unverified. Recovery passed 47 process
cases/33 proof negatives. Warning repair binds actual targets to
same-run proof. Validation passed 729 scoped UI cases, a separate
359-case thread run, 111 backend cases (84 CAS, 6 assembled, 21
activity/privacy), types/tokens. Proof validators/predicate are
unchanged; no new poller or increased timeout.

The d8d3 attempt stays FAILED: 45 passes, two workspaces-a failures,
derived verify failure and one skip. Both shards shared three failures:
two successful mocks omitted the account guard’s required userId. The
two-line fixture repair changed no guard, assertion or timeout. Three
failures reproduced; 54 access/auth tests then passed, including
account-change/denial negatives, plus UI types/tokens.

The 69285 attempt stays FAILED: 49 jobs, 46 passed, serialized shard 9
failed, its verify aggregate failed and one selection job skipped. The
shard passed 575/576 cases. Its aborted-snapshot case expected nine
computes but saw eight: a final HTTP 200 coalesced while seven ordinary
reads had not proved the aborted compute settled. Earlier CI and the
unmodified local baseline passed with a miss; no local RED is claimed.
The repair awaits the snapshot, allows exactly one extra GET if
coalesced, then requires a miss and retains nine computes/all HTTP429
assertions. No production code, hook, loop, sleep or timeout changed.
Six inbox and seven cache/admission cases passed locally, plus server
types; 30 unrelated cases were filtered. Green 36 passed 576/576 without
taking the extra-GET branch; local runs also missed that schedule.
Current CI event merge 1ea9 now passed 576/576 and naturally exercised
the former failure: coalesced (count 2, 1ms), then exactly one fresh
miss (count 1, 16ms), with strict nine-compute/HTTP429 assertions
intact. No instrumentation or retry was added.

Earlier compatibility passed scoped remote/inbox, routine, API-placement
and UI tests, plus types/migrations/snapshots/maps/tokens. The 89-path
adoption restored fleet routing without workflow overrides or added
skips. Each result retains its source identity.

Live qualification remains actual `9af1a5de42a2`: unchanged Artifact
grader PASSED 17/17 and active-Stop grader PASSED 21/21. All three
provider test resources were deleted canonically with GET404;
post-delete download returned the exact 27 bytes. Histories stayed
stable (Artifact 121 and Stop 67 canonical identities), with 21 company
runs, zero active work and no accounting/cancellation/reservation debt
or integrity findings. Saved settings reopened; no-prompt Test/Linux
admission passed with `claude-sonnet-4-5`. No new Save is claimed.

The first Stop sampling case stays FAILED on a 10.373-second gap.
Unchanged retry kept all 24 samples: 35.076 seconds quiet, maximum gap
4.584 seconds, plus a separate CANCELLED/artifact-absent read after 180
seconds. Initial grading rejected locator spelling before functional
checks; metadata changed only after same-file/inode/byte proof, with raw
evidence/oracles unchanged. Original Question/Plan/reconnect and
historical deleted-artifact results keep their identities.

Git trees verified 11 history-only conflicts and six earlier mainline
paths. Hosted 9af to the public BRANCH differs in 222 paths; 13,500
other mode/blob leaves match. Runner runtime implementations and six
observer/driver pins match 9af on that branch only; inherited
`drivers/acpx/runtime-host.test.ts` differs. No all-Runner/src,
CI/latest-master runtime or image equality is claimed. Later static
audits through `8ab89f41e499` found no concrete API-only blocker. That
base adds completed-history sleep proofs and an MCP cleanup migration;
protected Stop/ACK owners are unchanged. These later changes are outside
this CI and have no live qualification here. Host duplicate-card and
later recovery/UI repairs retain separate proof, not deployed 9af
identity. Direct-key coverage requires absent aiConnection; API-only
placement skips inherited remote-workspace disk-full paths, and
config-read gates match their parent.

Other retained failures: stale fixture 132/133; E8 48/135 with 87
reset-hook failures; Mac 17 SQL failures/skips;
title/startup/custody/Stop/deletion unknown causes and bounded
recoveries; superseded warning/50 duplicate identities; pre-repair
ACK/Core CI failures. Fixture RED/GREEN passed 7/7 browser and 121/121
shutdown tests with a failing broken-unsubscribe control; stable WSP
wrapper passed 128 after physical teardown failure. No full local-suite
pass is inferred. All paid attempts remain recorded; vendor dollar cost
is UNKNOWN.

## Risks

Experimental: Cursor independently acknowledges neither the effective
model nor instruction digest before the first prompt. Explicit values
are submitted and behavior checked live; unpriced provider dollar cost
stays UNKNOWN.

The placement exception applies only to validated native Cursor API
execution. Other local work remains denied under managed-only policy.
Missing/stale Stop or cleanup proof stays pending; damaged archives
remain failed. Explicit Legacy keeps its existing policy owners.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex/GPT-6 family: tools, execution, browser checks, delegated
review. API ID/context window unavailable.
