DottaandPaperclip 0eb2c964a7 fix(agents): allow runner qualification with agent configuration permission (#17448)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent owners configure the harness and computer used for that work.
> - A legacy runner upgrade must first qualify an unverified sandbox.
> - The upgrade called an instance-admin probe, so a company owner with
agent configuration permission received HTTP 403.
> - This pull request qualifies the saved computer through the agent's
existing configuration authorization.
> - Company owners can complete the upgrade while general instance
environment management stays restricted.

**What happened?**

Upgrade runner displayed for an existing Claude agent on a Daytona
Paperclip Computer. Clicking it returned “Instance admin access
required” for a cloud company owner. The agent remained on the legacy
runner.

**Expected behavior**

A caller permitted to update the agent can qualify that agent's saved
computer and upgrade. Instance-admin access is not required for this
agent-scoped operation.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Sign in as a cloud company owner with `agents:configure` and no
instance-admin role.
2. Open an existing legacy Claude agent on an unqualified Daytona
snapshot.
3. Select Upgrade runner.

## What Changed

- Add `POST /api/agents/{id}/qualify-runner` with the existing
`agent_config:update` guard.
- Reuse the server's effective environment resolver. The submitted
environment ID only detects stale state; it cannot select a different
computer.
- Preserve company binding checks, check binding again at lease
acquisition, and record agent-scoped audit activity.
- Return qualification status and the lease receipt without
instance-level provider metadata or raw provider errors.
- Use the new endpoint for the existing-agent upgrade. Keep the generic
environment probe restricted to instance admins.
- Disable Upgrade runner when an unsaved computer change resolves to a
different target, with a save-first explanation. Other draft settings
still accompany an upgrade.
- Add real-database authorization regression tests and update the API
contract and access maps.

## Verification

- Red: the existing UI called the instance-wide probe and failed the new
agent-scoped call assertions in eight upgrade cases.
- Green: 349 related route, provider qualification, runner selection,
and UI tests passed.
- Green: 12 authorization cases passed with real PostgreSQL, real HTTP
routes, real saved role grants, and a simulated provider boot. They
cover the cloud owner, removed grants, foreign agent/computer, inherited
targets, stale target, invalid body, archived/local target, redacted
failure, audit scope, and unchanged agent settings.
- Review regression: two cases first reproduced the enabled upgrade
button after an unsaved computer change; both now pass, along with all
168 related UI tests. Qualified/unqualified computers and restoring the
saved selection are covered.
- All 26 OpenAPI cases passed; the 12 real-database authorization cases
also passed after rebase.
- The host exhausted PostgreSQL semaphores. For the 12 cases, a
temporary local-only setup used disposable PostgreSQL 18 in Docker
instead of the embedded database launcher. The committed tests use the
normal embedded database helper. No authorization decisions were mocked.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, `pnpm check:token-gates`, map
validation, module-boundary validation, and `git diff --check` passed.
- `pnpm test:run` was attempted but did not establish a full local pass:
the host could not start embedded PostgreSQL clusters. All current-head
CI gates passed, including the full suite in CI. The commitperclip
review workflow timed out before reporting any executed steps on its
first attempt and passed on one retry.
- Fresh staging acceptance remains pending deployment. Verify persisted
native configuration and a successful runtime test on the existing
Daytona computer after merge. Earlier live Daytona proof from #17361 is
separate evidence.

## Risks

- Qualification can start a fresh, temporary sandbox. It uses the
existing probe lifecycle and cleanup contract.
- The new path must remain scoped to the saved agent and its company.
Denial and redaction tests cover that boundary. General instance probe
authorization is unchanged.
- No migration, role change, credential change, or automatic agent
upgrade is included.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, code execution, and
browser tools. The exact deployed model variant and context-window size
were not exposed in this session.
