DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 d87f6fa4c2 test(runner-e2e): add staging-soak reliability cases to everyday workflows (#19455)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The paid runner E2E suite (`tests/runner-e2e`) drives the real
browser, server, native runner, provider and Daytona
> - A manual staging soak found about nine reliability bugs (S47–S55,
H2, U9). Each fix got unit or integration tests
> - The end-to-end journeys that exposed the bugs existed only as ad-hoc
browser scripts, so a regression could return without a signal
> - These journeys are expensive, so they must not run per PR or in
`--all`. They must run on demand before a release
> - This pull request adds the journeys to the existing
`everyday-workflows` suite as an explicit `reliability` group
> - The benefit is one command that runs the whole reliability set
before a release or after a risky runner change

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What is the problem?**
The staging-soak scenarios that found S47–S55, H2 and U9 are not
repeatable. They were ad-hoc browser scripts on staging.

**Why does it matter?**
Without a repeatable end-to-end case, a reliability regression (stalled
follow-ups, duplicate execution, dead Retry, hangs after silent
commands) can return without a signal.

**What is the proposed solution?**
Add the scenarios to the paid `everyday-workflows` suite as
explicit-only cases with independent graders and a selectable
`reliability` group.

Refs #19370, #19355, #19354, #19407, #19419, #19394, #19421, #19431 (the
related fixes).

## What Changed

- `everyday-reliability-cases.ts`: seven new cases
(`interrupt-redirect`, `reassign-midrun`, `three-turn-revise`,
`long-silent-command`, `tree-pause-release`, `queue-steer`,
`queued-across-restart`), their soak signatures, prompts, bounds and the
explicit matrix.
- `everyday-reliability-flow.ts`: browser and public-API drivers for
each journey. A shared watcher records `executionBlocker`,
`interruption` and execution projections while it waits. It uses an
offered Retry at most once (never while an automatic retry is
scheduled).
- `everyday-reliability.ts`: pure graders. They encode the product rule:
interrupted work resumes automatically or offers a Retry that works on
first use. A send-a-message blocker, a dead or repeated Retry, a silent
stall, or duplicate execution fails.
- `types.ts` / `selectors.ts`: new optional `explicitGroup` on a task.
Such a task is selected only by its group, `--case`, or an exact `--id`.
`--all`, the plain suite and generic selectors skip it. `--list` still
shows it.
- `catalog.ts`: the suite gets the reliability tasks, the released
Grok/Kimi/Pi facades (only for `long-silent-command`), a per-turn
Daytona override for `three-turn-revise`, the `reliability` and `slow`
groups, definition version 11, and a computed `expectedMatrixSize` (52 →
62).
- `everyday-flow.ts`: a narrow hook calls the scenario driver after task
creation. Riley is created for the reassign and tree cases. The
reliability checks are added after settlement.
- `everyday-observations.ts`: an allowed interrupted run may end
`operator_interrupted` or `issue_reassigned`. Lifecycle checks accept a
declared reassigned parent owner.
- `live-fixtures.ts`: reliability cells get the existing 1,000-cent
company and lead-agent hard stop.
- Tests: new `everyday-reliability.test.ts` (selection exclusion,
matrix, credentials, and calibrated pass/fail cases for every grader).
Updated counts in `catalog.test.ts`, `everyday.test.ts` and
`installed-cli.test.ts`.
- Docs: new "Staging-soak reliability group" section in
`EVERYDAY-WORKFLOWS.md` (cases, signatures, run commands, cadence,
coverage boundary) and a link from `doc/evals.md`.

`everyday-flow.ts` was already over 1,000 lines. This PR adds only about
20 lines of wiring there. The scenario logic is in the new modules.

Matrix (10 cells, all Daytona, single attempt): one `runner-codex`
(gpt-5.6-sol) cell per case, plus `runner-acpx-grok`, `runner-acpx-kimi`
and `runner-acpx-pi` for `long-silent-command`.

Run command:

```sh
pnpm test:e2e:runner -- --suite everyday-workflows --group reliability --max-parallel 2
```

## Verification

- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:typecheck` passes.
- `node node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run --config
tests/runner-e2e/vitest.config.ts everyday catalog installed-cli
selectors support.test`: 15 files, 362 tests pass.
- The full runner-e2e Vitest run has the same 14 failures with and
without this change (`controller-outage`, `operating-receipts`,
`pi-controls-evidence`, `pi-file-evidence`, `workflow-security`). These
fail on the base commit in this local environment too.
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner -- --list --suite everyday-workflows --group
reliability` lists exactly the ten cells.
- `--all`, `--suite everyday-workflows` (still 52 cells),
profile/environment selectors and the daily/weekly scheduled selections
contain no reliability cell. A test asserts this.
- Not run: the paid cells. They need provider and Daytona credentials.
The first paid run of the group is the acceptance step.

## Risks

- The drivers have not run against a live stack. A first paid run can
expose harness timing or selector issues (for example, how fast the
queued Interrupt control appears). The failure then names the stalled
step and keeps `reliability-observations.json`.
- `long-silent-command` does not inject a runner connection loss. The
named-cause contract is checked only if a loss happens naturally.
- The Grok/Kimi/Pi facades run as ordinary released profiles. If one
returns to pending qualification, it drops out of the group and the
matrix size follows.
- No product code changes. Existing everyday cells keep their selection
and checks. The suite definition hash changes because the suite
definition changed.

discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap
with planned core work may need to be redirected — check the roadmap
