DottaandPaperclip a68f3d8e35 fix(runner-e2e): align Daytona image and provider pack provenance (#13814)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is an open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Daytona runner image provides the native runner and its provider
package.
> - The controller also sends a provider package to native Daytona cells
when the image package does not match.
> - A stale image and a package from another source revision caused a
1.8 GB upload before Claude could run.
> - This pull request refreshes the reviewed lock checksum and documents
how to reuse the exact package from an immutable image.
> - The benefit is a reproducible setup path and clear evidence when
image and package provenance do not match.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A Daytona native Claude run used image source revision
`45c99a0d06cbd5b04982b06b79de321149930ac5` with a controller provider
package from revision `294853dc...`. Runtime verification rejected the
image package and staged a large package upload before model execution.
A hosted campaign also failed during image setup because the Dockerfile
expected lock checksum `d7d96cf0...` while the resolved lockfile
checksum was
`4b796c312833ebf2be4c38228babc0292c76774fb40d43bd18b54bd6b205753d`.

[#12887](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/12887).

**Expected behavior**

The Daytona image and controller provider package must come from the
same verified build. A package extracted from the immutable image must
pass the existing manifest, source revision, lockfile, binary, bridge,
and artifact checks before a native Claude run starts.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Set `PAPERCLIP_E2E_DAYTONA_IMAGE` to the old immutable image digest.
2. Set `PAPERCLIP_RUNNER_REMOTE_PROVIDER_PACK_PATH` to a package built
from a different source revision.
3. Run a native Claude Daytona cell.
4. Observe provider package verification failure followed by the large
staging upload.
5. Build the image with the stale Dockerfile lock checksum and observe
the checksum failure.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`3b8df3dcd6f99e99277faa45f3351989edb5c239`.

**Deployment mode**

Daytona native runner E2E.

**Install method**

Built from source.

**Agent adapter(s) involved**

Claude Code through the native ACPX runner.

**Database mode**

Not database-related.

**Access context**

Not applicable to the setup failure.

## What Changed

- Refreshed `PAPERCLIP_RUNNER_LOCK_SHA256` in
`docker/daytona-runner/Dockerfile` to the resolved lockfile checksum.
- Added a local guide for extracting the provider package from an
immutable verified image with Docker.
- Documented the required provenance checks and the expected
manifest-matched runtime log.
- Documented that cold package upload coverage must remain separate from
recovery coverage.
- Pinned the preview-service test guest to the test runner’s Node
executable and logged guest startup and bound ports for readiness
diagnostics.

## Verification

- 442 focused E2E tests passed.
- Typecheck passed.
- `pnpm build` passed.
- Five provider-pack reuse tests passed.
- Six Daytona image contract tests passed.
- Fixed Daytona campaign
[35740613581](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35740613581)
passed.
- The overall hiring campaign
[35739993219](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35739993219)
failed because of an unrelated Mini metadata failure; its Claude cell
passed.
- Full local `pnpm test:run` was attempted but did not complete. The
isolated Postgres install was repaired and its 15-test probe passed.
- After the fixture change, all seven preview reservation tests passed
locally and CI server shard 6/12 passed on `20234f75f`. This removes
login-shell Node resolution variance; the exact cause of the earlier
CI-only timeout is not established.
- CI run
[35766034635](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35766034635)
passed on `20234f75f`. All server, runner, browser, build, and typecheck
gates passed.
- The signoff browser case initially failed waiting for an approver run.
All five signoff tests passed locally without changes; the one allowed
CI retry passed all 19 shard tests. This is recorded as an intermittent
failure, not a demonstrated product fix.
- Greptile reviewed `20234f75f`: 5/5, no actionable findings.
- [Follow-up
report](https://pages.paperclip.ing/runner-daytona-hiring-20260922/)
includes timings, evidence links, and the remaining hiring configuration
failure.
- Review the immutable image source revision and extracted
`provider-pack.json` before another paid recovery run.

## Risks

- The Dockerfile checksum gate intentionally fails when the resolved
lockfile changes. A future dependency change must refresh the reviewed
checksum with the image change.
- The local extraction guide requires Docker and a pullable immutable
image.
- An image built from an older source revision can still fail runtime
manifest verification. The guide does not bypass that check.
- The change does not alter runner prompts, approval policy, or recovery
behavior.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex using the primary GPT-6 backend; the exact backend
deployment ID is not exposed. Repository analysis and code execution
used tool access. Assistance also came from OpenAI gpt-5.6-luna.
