DottaandPaperclip b4c69ded9f test(e2e): attribute native OpenCode skill loads (#18929)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people manage agents and assign saved company skills.
> - Daily QA must prove that an agent loads the saved procedure it uses.
> - The saved-skill journey accepts several native source-read paths.
> - OpenCode's native proxy changes its built-in skill loader's
normalized operation to unknown.
> - The grader expected execute and rejected a real completed skill
load.
> - This PR accepts that one observed native shape with strict source
and identity checks.
> - Genuine loads can qualify while missing, foreign or incomplete
evidence still fails.

**What happened?**

A combined QA run on `0884e73b46ee064b3d242e467035dde6c32e5cb5` failed
`saved-skill-native-read-attributed`. The agent's successful native
skill load exposed the complete saved procedure. The exact immutable
assignment and source checks passed. Core recorded the built-in loader
as `operation: unknown` and `readOnly: false`. The grader accepted this
loader only with `operation: execute`.

**Expected behavior**

A complete native OpenCode skill load can qualify when its actual run,
session, immutable source and paired receipt all match. A generic
unknown operation cannot qualify.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the saved-skill journey through Core
`09162fe893b464dd2ccdafd14bd3ef1611202a86` with OpenCode. Let the agent
use its native `skill` loader. The direct TypeScript converter emits
execute, but the real proxy forwards a `builtinToolCall` without that
operation. Core's native converter records unknown. The former
TypeScript-only fixture missed this boundary.

## What Changed

- Add one closed native OpenCode skill-loader branch. Require the actual
run, runner, native session, item, turn and paired call.
- Bind the API assignment, admitted native skill, immutable version map
and materialized runtime directory to the same canonical skill.
- Require the exact wrapper name, heading and complete saved procedure.
Require an absolute local base directory and an empty file inventory.
Reject traversal, URI encodings, backslashes, query or fragment markers
and all ASCII controls. Keep valid spaces.
- Require a successful, complete and untruncated native receipt with the
exact output byte count. Reject missing, duplicate, reordered, foreign,
failed, dynamic or MCP carriers.
- Add 65 loader and boundary controls. Drive the real
TypeScript-to-proxy input and use the observed Core native carrier
shape. The JavaScript test does not claim to run the Rust converter.
- Document the native loader path. Preserve every existing accepted
execute, filesystem, first-party and Codex parser path byte-for-byte.
Keep all seven checks, one-run limit, 500-cent guard, task prompt, model
and ordinary Beta-off Latest assignment unchanged.

## Verification

- The sealed original Core receipt reproduces RED: the former grader
returns zero reads. Changing only its normalized operation to execute
reaches the old accepted branch. The narrow correction returns one
attributed read in separate local analysis. The original QA grade
remains failed.
- The actual TypeScript, proxy and native normalization source regions
match between Core091 and the tested baseline0884. The proxy emits
`builtinToolCall` without an operation. The native converter supplies
unknown.
- 334 focused tests pass across nine files, including 65 new loader
controls and all existing saved-skill evidence, flow, contract and
catalog controls. Run `node node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run --config
tests/runner-e2e/vitest.config.ts
tests/runner-e2e/product-journeys/saved-skill-use-native-loader.test.ts`
for the narrow regression.
- TAB, ESC and DEL controls fail before the review hardening and pass
after it. The valid-space positive remains green.
- Canonical Runner TypeScript prerequisites, own server declarations and
E2E types pass. The final E2E-only check reuses those same-commit
declarations after only the two test-scope files changed. The checked
candidate blobs match this committed head.
- Credential-free discovery lists 25 catalog journeys, including
saved-skill use. Registration and selection do not change.
- `git diff --check` passes. No Rust build or product-model call ran
locally. Full CI
[41773295359](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41773295359)
passed on `fb537b598da40176fa1752b49a4f676f468de1f7`: 48 successful jobs
and one skip. Fresh Greptile is 5/5 with zero unresolved threads. The
earlier same-head canceled run remains retained; no retry was requested.
The optional native review ended neutral with a 5/5 source assessment
and explicit execution/qualification coverage limits. Fresh staging
qualification
[41777787338](https://pages.paperclip.ing/evals-qa-smoke-41777787338-1/)
passed on this exact head: all seven checks and all five phases, exactly
one native OpenCode run, independent saved-document reopen/source
preservation, and normal cleanup complete. TestOps recorded a new passed
result and the automatic Slack report succeeded.
- The failed original stopped before independent document, reload and
source-after checks. Those checks remain unqualified for that run. The
original failed grade remains unchanged. A separate genuine fresh QA
pass now verifies the complete journey before daily re-admission.

## Risks

This path depends on OpenCode's observed native wrapper and materialized
directory contract. Missing or changed evidence fails closed. The fix
adds no runtime service, schema or API behavior. The native-loader
branch is covered by strict local regression controls and the original
sealed Core receipt; a separate fresh staging run also passed the
complete saved-skill journey.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex with reasoning, tool use and code execution.
The runtime does not expose a more specific deployment ID or
context-window size. Local checks made no product-model calls.

Use a saved assigned skill

saved-skill-use is a reusable Product E2E journey for an existing target. It uses one native work run on the target provider's campaign-owned agent. It does not enroll itself in a daily plan. Local calibration and catalog discovery are separate from a real staging pass.

The target supplies ordinary company skill-write access. Assignment uses desiredSkills: [canonicalSkillKey], which selects Latest and returns a stored versionId: null. This path works with Beta skills disabled. No experimental setting is read or changed. Experimental version pins need separate qualification.

The fixture creates one synthetic company skill through the public skill API. The journal name, API name and Markdown frontmatter name equal its slug. Each contains the exact campaign ID, including its hyphens. Recovery can therefore find the persisted skill by name if a successful creation response is lost. It assigns the skill on the owned agent through the normal skill sync API. The created skill must be managed, with the exact canonical company key. Its creation receipt and separate reads must agree on the immutable current version. A version read must return the exact SKILL.md bytes. The skill's random receipt reference and two numeric inputs occur only in those saved bytes. The slug and task prompt do not contain the reference. The task is created through the production browser composer and explicitly names that skill.

A pass requires all seven closed checks:

  • saved-skill-assignment-bound: exact company, managed skill, creation version, source bytes and one ordinary Latest assignment before dispatch. The successful run must have contextSnapshot.skillSelectionSnapshot: true and an admitted skillVersions[canonicalSkillKey] equal to that immutable created version.
  • saved-skill-input-only-in-source: the persisted request names the skill but does not expose its receipt reference; no human comment supplies that reference.
  • saved-skill-native-read-attributed: a complete successful native skill load or source-file read, with start/completion identity bound to this company, agent, run, turn and runner. Its native receipt must contain or cryptographically commit to the complete saved procedure.
  • saved-skill-result-authored-by-run: exactly one saved task document contains the reference and independently calculated sum. Its revision belongs to the successful native run and agent, without human authorship. The run's authoritative nativePhase must be committed before the result qualifies.
  • saved-skill-result-reopened: the browser reload shows that document, and its independently read content and revision are unchanged.
  • saved-skill-source-preserved: the original skill version, source bytes and assignment remain unchanged after execution.
  • configured-model-and-environment: the one successful run matches the owned company, task, agent, configured native provider/model and execution environment.

The read oracle accepts a completed built-in file read with the exact skill directory target, or OpenCode's native skill load with its exact named skill_content wrapper. Deployed OpenCode can instead report a native read with an unknown operation and null target. That path requires its complete file result wrapper: the file path must name the exact materialized skill directory. Both the saved assignment entry and the admitted native execution input must bind that runtime name to the same canonical key and immutable created version. The file read must remain read-only, successful, paired by call/turn/runner, untruncated and byte-complete, and its content must contain the full procedure. A targetless filesystem read without this bound file wrapper cannot qualify. Discovery, shell output, model prose, failed or truncated reads, foreign run receipts and marker-only output cannot pass.

Core's native OpenCode proxy forwards its built-in skill loader without an operation. Core records that receipt as unknown with a false read-only hint. This closed loader path requires the actual OpenCode run, runner, native session, turn, item and paired call. Both assignment records and the admitted version map must bind the exact immutable skill and materialized directory. Its complete skill_content wrapper and heading must name that skill. The saved procedure body must match exactly. The local base-directory path must be absolute and name that bound runtime directory without traversal or URI encodings, and skill_files must be empty. The receipt must be successful, untruncated and byte-complete. Other unknown operations, raw dynamic calls and unbound loaders still fail.

The first-party paperclip_read_assigned_skill tool can also supply the read. Its complete inputText result must contain the exact canonical skill key, immutable created version, SKILL.md path, original Markdown, byte size and SHA-256 checksum. nextOffset must be null. The same dual assignment and admitted canonical key/version binding is required for every native provider. The OpenCode materialized directory name is required only for its filesystem wrapper; it is not a condition for the common first-party semantic read. A semantic read failure can have a completed tool status; it does not qualify. A partial page, copied tool result, foreign version, missing start or unbound native event also fails closed.

Codex's dynamic tool display is not first-party authority. Its raw name, optional namespace or read-only hint cannot qualify a read. For Codex, the grader also accepts Core's retained semantic_tool.input and semantic_tool.result for the closed read-only operation read_assigned_skill. Both must name the actual run's runner, native session, call, turn and item. The input must match its own digest and select the canonical skill or its exact admitted alias, SKILL.md and offset zero (including Core's defaults). The successful active_task result must commit to the exact complete immutable read object: canonical key, version, file, all UTF-8 source text, SHA-256, byte size and a null next-page offset. The digest uses Core's canonical JSON key ordering. Missing, duplicate, reordered, failed, foreign or differently hashed carriers fail. This path does not relax the existing OpenCode built-in or filesystem guards.

The existing campaign deadline bounds observations. Only failed read transport operations can be retried; task input, skill creation and execution are not replayed. Done status and a successful run alone cannot qualify incomplete native finalization. The optional resultJson.finalizationPhase presentation field is not required or accepted in place of nativePhase; compact or null result data can qualify when the authoritative phase is committed. The provider journals skill and task ownership before creation, then collects evidence and stops/cleans only campaign-owned resources. The fixed skill source, native events and saved document receipts stay in the private bundle. The public report uses the existing closed checks and authenticated task capture.

No instance-wide experimental setting, shared source agent, global model, company budget or production workspace is changed by this journey.
