DottaandPaperclip b193077582 fix: report Slack callback health correctly behind Cloud proxies (#13694)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Slack connections turn messages into governed agent runs and return
replies to Slack.
> - Remote runs must replace an incompatible sandbox runner with the
controller's packaged binary.
> - The fallback used a package-relative path that does not match the
vendored server layout.
> - Slack callback health also compared the internal proxy address with
the public callback address.
> - Master now contains the runner fallback fix; this pull request fixes
callback health and extends missing-runner regression coverage.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13677, #13680, #13691, and #13686.

**What happened?**

A packaged controller stopped a Slack-triggered remote run with
`runner_remote_artifact_unavailable` when the sandbox runner needed
replacement. Working Slack callbacks also showed a stale URL warning
behind the Cloud gateway.

**Expected behavior**

The controller stages its packaged runner when needed. Callback health
uses the observed public address and still detects real address changes.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run a packaged server with a sandbox that has an older runner or no
runner.
2. Send a Slack mention to an agent that uses that sandbox.
3. Route signed Slack callbacks through a claimed Cloud gateway that
rewrites the upstream host.
4. Check the run and the Slack callback health panel.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on master at `aeef493f4a7603b7b1254421b80fb00212982390`. The
fix branch also includes #13691.

**Deployment mode**

Packaged server with a Cloud gateway and a Daytona sandbox.

## What Changed

- Extend the controller-owned runner fallback tests with a missing
sandbox binary case; retain the fix now merged in #13686.
- Prefer dedicated gateway diagnostic headers that survive provider
rewrites of standard forwarded headers. Use validated host hints only
for callback-health evidence on claimed Cloud instances after provider
acceptance. Preserve request bodies, routing, authentication, and
configured callback URLs.
- Cover current, stale, and missing sandbox runners, all Slack callback
surfaces, rejected callbacks, malformed proxy hints, real host and port
changes, and the existing self-hosted behavior.
- Document the artifact lookup and callback-health boundaries.

## Verification

- Native session executor and binary resolver suites: 379 tests passed
after merging current master (`45c99a0d0`).
- Targeted callback integration suite with disposable PostgreSQL: 4
tests passed before rebase.
- Full `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed after merging current
master. The full local suite passed 12,668 tests; one suite failed to
start its disposable PostgreSQL. Rerunning that suite alone passed all
31 tests.
- The built server resolver selected the executable under
`server/dist/vendor/paperclip-runner/bin/`.
- Final callback regression: all 4 targeted integration tests pass,
covering provider header rewrites, default ports, uppercase/trailing-dot
hosts, and ignored self-hosted hints.
- Live staging proof of the runner fix: a previously failed Slack thread
recovered, a new mention received its requested response, and the
account-connect command succeeded. Unsigned callbacks returned 401.
- Live browser and Slack acceptance passed: generated callback URLs,
account linking, a new mention, an interactive question and answer, and
all three callback-health indicators. The connector was activated
through the onboarding UI.
- All 54 latest-head checks pass, two optional checks are skipped, and
Greptile is 5/5 with no unresolved threads.

## Risks

- Runner fallback must select a binary for the remote platform. This
preserves explicit remote artifact overrides and the existing capability
checks.
- Proxy headers are not identity proof. They are used only for
diagnostics on claimed Cloud instances after the provider accepts the
request. Self-hosted instances ignore them. Wrong public hosts and ports
still warn.
- No database migration or new public API contract.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 via Codex. Used reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and browser/native-app testing. Exact model variant and
context window were not exposed by the session.
