DottaandPaperclip 8eff54bc47 [codex] Explain AWS secret creation failures in the UI (#9645)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source control plane operators use to manage
AI-agent companies.
> - Operators can store runtime secrets in provider vaults such as AWS
Secrets Manager.
> - The server already preserves sanitized AWS failure details,
including the failed operation, required IAM capability, region, and
safe recovery options.
> - The create-secret dialog reduced that structured response to a
generic message, leaving operators unable to understand or fix failed
AWS writes.
> - This pull request keeps the safe structured error through the UI and
presents concise, actionable diagnostics without exposing raw AWS
principals or account details.
> - The benefit is that operators can correct IAM access or link an
existing AWS secret immediately instead of debugging an opaque failure.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue was found for this exact UI gap.

Bug report:
- What happened: creating a Paperclip-managed value in AWS Secrets
Manager could fail with a generic dialog error even though the API
returned safe, actionable provider details.
- Expected behavior: the dialog should identify the AWS operation,
required IAM capability, region, provider vault, and safe alternative
while keeping raw cloud-provider details redacted.
- Steps to reproduce: configure an AWS Secrets Manager provider vault
without `secretsmanager:CreateSecret`, then create a Paperclip-managed
secret using that vault.
- Paperclip version/commit: current `master` before this PR.
- Deployment mode: Paperclip server with an AWS Secrets Manager provider
vault.

## What Changed

- Preserve the structured `ApiError` returned by failed create-secret
mutations instead of reducing it to a string.
- Render AWS-specific, sanitized diagnostics with the required IAM
capability, region, provider vault, operation, and external-reference
recovery option.
- Add a full dialog render regression test that verifies actionable
details appear and raw AWS ARN/account information does not.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/pages/Secrets.render.test.tsx` — 1 file
passed, 15 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — all gates clean.
- `git diff --check public-gh/master...HEAD` — passed.

### Visual Verification

QA verified both states in Chromium at head `357cd2271` using the real
`Secrets` component and confirmed that raw AWS account, ARN,
assumed-role, and provider exception details are absent from the
rendered DOM.

## Risks

Low risk. The change only affects failed create-secret presentation in
the UI; successful secret creation, API contracts, schema, and
migrations are unchanged. The structured details are server-sanitized,
and the regression test confirms raw AWS principal/account data is not
rendered.

> For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and
discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap
with planned core work may need to be redirected — check the roadmap
first. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-5.4` via Codex CLI, with tool-enabled repository editing,
shell execution, Git, GitHub, and Paperclip API access. Reasoning mode
and exact context-window size were not exposed by the runtime.
