Devin FoleyandPaperclip 932c8bec56 fix(ci): bake the managed runtime identity into cloud images (#13210)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Managed deployments start from the image built by the Cloud
workflow.
> - The managed runtime requests user and group 1001.
> - The image currently builds the node user as 1000.
> - Startup must remap that user, which can walk a large mounted home
directory.
> - This pull request uses the existing Docker build arguments to bake
user and group 1001 into Cloud images.
> - Matching the runtime identity removes that startup work and helps
avoid health-check retries.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13208, #1923, and #7861. Searched open and closed PRs for the
Cloud UID change. The older #7861 addresses build context and volume
ownership repair. This change uses the existing identity arguments in
the Cloud workflow and preserves ownership repair.

**What happened?**

A measured rollout had a container log `Updating node UID to 1001` after
startup. The container stayed at this step for at least 2 minutes 55
seconds before rollback stopped it. The baked node identity was 1000,
while the managed runtime requested 1001. A health check timed out and
the target required a second deployment attempt.

**Expected behavior**

Cloud images should already have the managed runtime identity. A
matching image should skip user and group remapping. Fresh or mismatched
volumes must still receive ownership repair.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Build the current Cloud image with its default build arguments.
2. Start it with `USER_UID=1001`, `USER_GID=1001`, and a populated home
volume.
3. Observe the startup user remap before the application starts.

**Deployment mode**

Docker on managed hosts.

## What Changed

- Pass `USER_UID=1001` and `USER_GID=1001` to the Cloud image build.
- Check the pushed digest's baked identity before the entrypoint can
repair it. Then check the normal entrypoint's effective identity and
writable home before publishing the verified full-SHA tag.
- Add a workflow regression and two entrypoint cases for a matching
Cloud identity, including a mismatched volume.
- Document the runtime identity and the first-build cache cost.

## Verification

- Focused workflow and artifact tests: 27 passed.
- Entrypoint tests: 11 passed. Actionlint passed. Full local `pnpm -r
typecheck` passed. Full local `pnpm build` passed. The manual [Cloud
image
build](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34575473213)
passed on the exact PR head. It checked Sentry, baked and effective
identity, writable home, orphan reaping, and full-SHA publication. The
new identity check took one second. All 30 PR checks passed; the
Storybook workflow was intentionally skipped. Greptile reviewed commit
`114d408f637a0b53e2e2b1339c263779b1e4ae54` at 5/5 with no findings or
open threads.
- The full local suite for the same application source was already run
in #13205. Its macOS general-server phase had 10,471 passes and 70
failures in seven unchanged files. Those failures included missing
Runner fixtures, filesystem errors, timeouts, a port conflict, and a
load-count mismatch. After configuring Cargo and rebuilding fixtures, 37
of 38 native tests passed; one unchanged native-resume assertion still
failed. Linux PR CI passed. This change adds entrypoint tests and does
not change application code.

## Risks

- The first build must rebuild layers that depend on the base image
identity. Later builds can reuse them.
- A future managed runtime identity change must update these build
arguments and checks together.
- The Dockerfile's self-hosted defaults remain 1000. Runtime overrides
and mounted-volume ownership repair remain supported.
- The observed startup delay supports this change, but fleet timing also
includes provider startup, image pull, canary order, and retries. No
fixed end-to-end gain is claimed before a live rollout.
