Devin FoleyandPaperclip 63fbb714e6 fix(server): release idle tracking after aborted static UI files (#16685)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip runs work for AI agents.
> - Hosts must prove that accepted work has finished before idle sleep.
> - HTTP request tracking keeps unfinished writes active after a client
leaves.
> - Static file middleware has no returned completion promise.
> - An aborted UI download can leave its request active forever.
> - This PR completes only a matched file response and keeps other work
tracked.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #15522. Found while qualifying #16679. A search found no duplicate
static-download idle fix.

**What happened?**

Closing a client during a static UI download leaves one tracked request
active. The response has closed, but the file middleware never calls the
wrapped response end method. The instance cannot report idle after that
request.

**Expected behavior**

A closed, matched static file response must not leave a permanent work
hold. Unfinished application writes must remain tracked. A missing file
must keep the normal fallback and error paths.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Serve a large local file through the static UI middleware with idle
admission enabled.
2. Start the download over HTTP.
3. Disconnect the client after its first data chunk.
4. Observe that the tracked request remains active with the original
middleware.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on the behavior in
`d30648dee89720358271c276b9fc28cf83f18be7`. This branch starts at
`cfa9dce295970a85b3d8ee14cab0eccf50bc72e2`.

## What Changed

- Mark the completion of a known read-only response without dropping
pending middleware promises.
- Wrap static UI file serving. A successful file match is required
before a closed response can complete its tracking. A late match
rechecks an already closed response. Missing files keep the normal
fallback.
- Use the wrapper for hashed assets, other static UI files, and public
development files. Preserve caller headers and cache options.
- Test both HTTP abort timings, nested routers, conservative
mounted-application holds, parent writes, mutating GET fallbacks, and
callback-only work.
- Update the idle contract and its verification map. Correct the
paused-message recipe from hosted qualification: an explicit Pause
cancels older queued work, so test new accepted input after the pause
and await the normal resume lifecycle.

## Verification

- The original two real stream-abort regressions fail with the original
Express static behavior.
- Three review regressions fail on
`e260f4694afab8447b0cb203f439cb3ccad254e8`: a client closing before file
lookup, an unfinished parent in a mounted application, and an unfinished
parent in a root without installed handler tracking. Fixed sources were
restored byte for byte after the comparison.
- Two focused suites: 16 passed. They cover nested routers, both abort
timings, hidden parent writes, late missing-file fallbacks, contents,
HEAD, conditional responses, and caller headers.
- Module and map checks pass. Map checks are structural only.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build`: passed on
`f242ee739344484995d3addf81635512370778c8`.
- Full CI matrix: 54 successful checks and 2 intentional Storybook
skips.
- Apex: 5/5 on the exact current head, with zero unresolved threads.
- Full local maintained test groups are still running before final
handoff.
- The initial local broad run was stopped before changing source for the
P1 review findings. Two file-mode fixture failures in that run came from
the scratch runner's inherited `0077` mask; the same suite passes with
the normal child test mask `0022`, without source or host configuration
changes. The replacement run uses `0022` for test children and
command-scoped `init.defaultBranch=master` for existing Git fixture
assumptions.
- This PR has not been deployed to a hosted environment.

## Risks

Only a matched file served by the admitted application with installed
handler tracking can complete this way. Routers share that scope.
Mounted Express applications and roots without handler tracking keep the
existing conservative response hold; this change does not claim their
hidden writes are tracked. An unfinished tracked parent promise still
blocks sleep after a file client disconnects. Redirects, missing files,
application callbacks, and other GET requests retain their guards. No
authentication, company scope, provider cleanup, or scheduling gate is
removed. No schema or API response changes.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, source editing, and shell
tools. The session does not expose a more specific serving model ID or
its context window size.
