DottaandPaperclip 75b6d22aac fix(recovery): make silent-run detection UI-only (#12242)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The recovery service detects active runs that stop producing output.
> - The dashboard already shows suspicious and critical silence to the
board.
> - The recovery scan also creates delegated evaluation work for the
same signal.
> - Output silence alone does not prove that the run or source task
needs recovery.
> - This pull request keeps the signal and removes automatic recovery
artifacts.
> - The benefit is a visible watchdog signal without assignment changes,
wake requests, or issue noise.

- Refs #7036

- Refs #11961

## What Changed

- Keep the one-hour suspicious level and four-hour critical level in
active-run API summaries.
- Stop output silence from creating or changing issues, recovery
actions, comments, relations, assignments, and wake requests.
- Store snooze, continue, and false-positive decisions against the run
without an evaluation issue.
- Preserve terminal-source folding, orphan cleanup, and open legacy
evaluation links.
- Show informational watchdog copy and board controls without requiring
an evaluation-task link.
- Document the UI-only watchdog contract.
- Add focused server and UI coverage for artifact-free scans and board
decisions.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-active-run-output-watchdog.test.ts
ui/src/components/IssueRunLedger.test.tsx` (32 tests passed)
- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `git diff --check`
- `pnpm test:run` completed locally with 4,772 passing tests. It found
30 unrelated macOS test-harness failures in eight workspace, skill,
listener, and runtime exposure files. The failures use `/tmp` and
`/private/tmp` as different paths, require Linux `/proc` listener data,
or derive invalid HMR ports from the macOS ephemeral range.
- The full Linux CI matrix passed on the latest commit. It includes
build, typecheck, server tests, worker tests, serialization tests,
canary, and e2e tests.
- Greptile reviewed the latest commit at 5/5 with no actionable
findings.

## Risks

- The recovery scan keeps its existing result shape, but its created and
escalated counts remain zero for output silence.
- A false-positive decision now suppresses the signal for the full life
of that run.
- Open legacy evaluation issues remain visible and manually resolvable.
The scan does not refresh or reprioritize them.
- There is no database migration and no API schema change.

> I checked `ROADMAP.md`. This change corrects existing watchdog
behavior and does not duplicate planned core work.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, with extended reasoning, tool use, and code
execution.
