Devin FoleyandPaperclip df66219780 fix(ui): retry the latest failed task attempt (#13765)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages work done by AI agents.
> - The task thread lets an operator retry a failed run.
> - Legacy runs with transcript output did not get a failure marker.
> - The thread could therefore offer Try again for an older failure.
> - The server correctly reused that failure's existing retry, even when
it had already failed.
> - This change keeps the latest failure actionable and reports stopped
retry responses to the operator.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Try again could return success without starting work. An initial setup
failure had an empty transcript. Its later retry produced output and
failed. Only the initial failure had a retry marker, so the button kept
requesting the initial failure's already-failed successor.

**Expected behavior**

Try again targets the latest failed attempt. An already-stopped retry
response shows an error and refreshes the task's run state.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a legacy adapter task that fails before producing transcript
output.
2. Retry it. Let this attempt produce output and a final failure comment
before it fails.
3. Click Try again in the task thread.
4. Before this fix, the click targets the original failure and replays
the stopped successor.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced against `1483bb8bcf`; the regression is also present on the
branch base `8813a50105`.

**Deployment mode**

Authenticated server with a legacy adapter. The bug is in the shared
task UI and retry API client.

Related: #11650 adds a different recovery-notice action. This change
fixes failed-run markers and retry response handling. Searches found no
duplicate of this failure case.

## What Changed

- Render legacy failure markers even when the run has a transcript or
final comment.
- Keep later cancelled automatic retries from replacing the failed run's
retry action.
- Reject already-stopped retry responses in the API client so existing
error feedback appears.
- Refresh task run queries after both successful and failed retry
requests.
- Add regression coverage for failed and timed-out attempts, execution
gates with output, and retry response states.

## Verification

- Before the fix, the new regression tests failed: two selected the
original failure, and four accepted a stopped successor as success.
- Targeted task-thread, retry API, marker, and issue-page tests: 279
passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`: passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build`: passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates`: passed.
- Full UI suite: 6,529 tests passed across 626 files.
- [CI run
35650385023](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35650385023):
all 53 checks passed, including full workspace build, typecheck,
unit/integration suites, and browser tests. The redundant local
full-workspace test run was stopped after CI passed; it is not counted
as a completed local pass.
- Greptile: 5/5 on `608ee58c99`, with no review threads or unresolved
comments. The branch is mergeable.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` were attempted. Both stop at the
Runner's Rust checks because this host has no `cargo`. The full
workspace checks passed in CI.

## Risks

Low risk. This changes UI presentation and response handling only. The
server's exact-retry idempotency, authorization, execution ownership,
and recovery gates remain in place. No schema changes or live task
mutations. Existing documentation describes this retry action; the fix
restores that behavior.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 (Codex), with reasoning, repository tools, and code
execution.
