DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 9009fbdedb fix(runner): accept request_human_input payload version forms models send (#20588)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents ask people for decisions with the runner's
`request_human_input` tool, which creates a question or confirmation
card
> - The tool schema required `payload.version` to be the number 1
> - The server ignores the version the model sends and always stores
version 1
> - Some models send `"version": "1"` as a string, so every call failed
with "/payload/version must be equal to constant"
> - This pull request accepts `1` or `"1"`, and lets the model omit the
version
> - The benefit is that the model's natural call creates the card on the
first try, and a turn does not end with no card and no reply

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19405 (adds invocation examples for the same tool; it does not
change validation). Refs #20134 (aligns the same tool's text limits).

**What happened?**
In a chat eval run on master `f4337bb5fb` (OpenCode runner,
`deepseek-v4.1-flash`), the agent called `request_human_input` up to six
times. Each call failed with `Invalid tool input: /payload/version must
be equal to constant`. The agent's reasoning shows it sent `"version":
"1"` and could not produce the number. In one case it then made the card
with `call_api`. In two other cases the turn lost the card. This
happened in `questions-and-approvals.reject-and-revise`,
`goals.align-existing-work` and
`assistant-connections.revoke-personal-grant`.

**Expected behavior**
A version field that the server overwrites must not block the call. The
tool must still reject an unknown version and a questions card without a
question form.

**Steps to reproduce**
Validate `{ interactionKind: "questions", payload: { version: "1",
questionSet: {...} } }` against the live `request_human_input` input
schema. Before this change, validation fails at `/payload/version`.

## What Changed

- `payload.version` in the tool schema accepts `1` or `"1"` and is
optional. Its description says Paperclip stores version 1.
- A questions card no longer requires `payload.version`. It still
requires `questionSet` or `questions`.
- The payload description no longer tells the model to send `version:1`.
- Regenerated the semantic tool contracts, the seeded eval catalog
digest and the protocol manifest with the existing generator.
- Added a regression test: number, string and missing version pass for
live and scenario schemas; version `2` and a payload without questions
fail.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run src/protocol-actions/` in `packages/paperclip-runner`:
red before the fix with the exact eval error (`/payload/version must be
equal to constant`), green after (47 tests).
- Focused runner tests for the tool bridge, semantic tools, mock control
plane, codex semantic results, catalog and semantic tools: 231 passed.
- `node scripts/generate-semantic-contracts.mjs --check`,
`generate-semantic-action-catalog --check`, `generate-protocol-manifest
--check`, `generate-replay-goldens --check`: current.
- `node tests/runner-e2e/source-sdk-public-inputs.mjs <HEAD> --check`:
unchanged.
- Paid chat eval on a temporary branch with this change: see the comment
on this PR.

## Risks

- Low risk. The server already writes `version: 1` into every
interaction payload created by this tool
(`paperclip-runner-tool-authority.ts`), so no stored shape changes.
- Previous-release story: no persisted run, session or launch state
changes. Saved tool receipts keep the input they recorded. A retry with
a different version form under the same idempotency key is a different
input, as before.

## Model Used

- Anthropic Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), agentic coding with
tool use in Claude Code.
