DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 c5e6ab5ca8 test(evals): retarget instance-settings from the removed Agent Chat toggle to the Cases experiment (#20897)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The chat catalog eval `instance-operations.instance-settings` checks
that a person who asks the chat agent to turn on an instance experiment
gets the supported operator path, and that the setting really works
> - The case asked "Enable Agent Chat on this instance." Agent Chat is
always on since #19360, and the catalog says so (#20169), so the agent
correctly answered "already on" and the scripted human could not find
the removed toggle
> - The premise is obsolete, so this pull request changes it explicitly
to the Cases experiment (`enableCases`), which still exists and has a
real route gate
> - It also replaces a reply-wording regex with structural checks
> - The benefit is that the case measures its original promise on
today's product

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened**
In the full chat-catalog run, the case failed in the human journey: the
locator `getByRole('switch', { name: 'Toggle agent chat experimental
setting' })` found no element. The agent's reply ("Agent Chat is already
enabled ... there's no toggle to change") was correct for the current
product. The grader also used reply regexes
(`experimental|enableAgentChat`, `operator|admin|human|settings`, and a
negative "I have enabled" pattern).

**Expected behavior**
The case tests an instance experiment a person can still turn on. The
agent cannot change instance settings, does not change the setting, and
links Experimental settings. The person follows that rendered link,
turns the feature on, sees it persist, and the feature's page opens.
Grading reads saved state and rendered links, not wording.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run
`chat-features.runner-opencode.local.instance-operations.instance-settings`
on master.
2. See the agent answer that Agent Chat is always on.
3. See the human step time out on the missing Agent Chat switch.

Refs #19360, #20169. Product companion: #20894 (the denial and the
catalog name the Experimental settings page). It is cherry-picked here
so the paid run measures it.

## What Changed

- Premise change (explicit): query "Enable Agent Chat on this instance."
becomes "Turn on Cases for this instance."; context and expected outcome
follow. Recorded in the manifest `changedFields`, pinned in the manifest
test, inventory digest updated.
- Setup: refuses a hidden Cases setting, starts Cases off (cleanup
restores the target's value), and probes GET/PATCH experimental settings
with the agent's own key (403 `board_access_required`, setting
unchanged).
- Human journey: checks that Cases is still off after the agent's turn
and that `/<prefix>/cases` redirects to the dashboard. Then follows the
Experimental settings link that the reply rendered (no typed-URL
fallback), turns Cases on, checks it after reload, and opens the Cases
page.
- Grader: the `supported-human-path` regex check is replaced by
`agent-links-experimental-settings` (rendered link to the page, and the
person followed it). Saved-state checks cover the off route, the save,
persistence and the open Cases page.
- `oracleVersion` is now
`paperclip.chat-catalog.privileged.instance-settings.v2`. `sourceFiles`
follow the code.
- Calibration: the valid reply and a reworded reply pass. Each missing
state, a missing link, a wrong page, a foreign origin and a literal
`<prefix>` link fail.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run --config tests/runner-e2e/vitest.config.ts
tests/runner-e2e/chat-catalog-domains/privileged-companions.test.ts
tests/runner-e2e/chat-catalog-domains/privileged-budget.test.ts
tests/runner-e2e/chat-catalog-contract.test.ts
tests/runner-e2e/chat-catalog-consistency.test.ts`: 25 passed.
- `node --test
tests/runner-e2e/chat-full-catalog-testops-manifest.test.mjs`: 10
passed.
- `node tests/runner-e2e/source-sdk-public-inputs.mjs <HEAD> --check`:
unchanged.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p tests/runner-e2e`: no errors in changed files.
- The paid end-to-end run is not done yet.

## Risks

- The case now depends on the Cases experiment. If Cases becomes always
on or is removed, the case needs another retarget.
- The agent can still say something wrong in prose. The grader cannot
detect a false "I turned it on" claim without wording checks, so a human
reads the reply. The saved state proves that the agent did not change
the setting.

# yaml-language-server: $schema=./catalog.schema.json
# Planning scenarios; not registered executions or evidence of a pass.
schema_version: 1
feature: instance-operations
status: planned
scenarios:
- id: instance-operations.update-instance
capabilities:
- instance-operations/install-update
context: >-
The person asks from Agent Chat; applying an installed release update or rollback is an
operator action on an owned instance.
query: >-
Update this Paperclip instance to the supported release.
expected_outcome: >-
The agent directs the operator to inspect the installation channel and supported update
path, preserving a concrete rollback option where offered. The journey verifies the
installed version and service health after the authorized operation. Ordinary chat does
not execute arbitrary installer commands or claim the newest version from memory.
- id: instance-operations.restart-service
capabilities:
- instance-operations/server-service
context: >-
The selected instance is an owned development fixture and restarting it will interrupt
this chat connection.
query: >-
Restart this test instance and bring my conversation back.
expected_outcome: >-
The operator uses the supported service control for the exact fixture, and the browser
returns to persisted conversation state after readiness. The journey checks actual service
stop/start rather than a listening port alone. The agent cannot promise it will keep
responding while its own server is offline.
- id: instance-operations.instance-settings
capabilities:
- instance-operations/configuration
context: >-
Cases is an experimental instance feature and is off on this target. Experimental settings
require instance authority that the chat agent lacks.
query: >-
Turn on Cases for this instance.
expected_outcome: >-
The agent cannot change instance settings, so it leaves the setting unchanged and does not
claim it turned Cases on. The reply identifies the Cases experimental setting and links the
Experimental settings page where an instance admin turns it on. The person follows that
link and turns Cases on. While the setting is off the Cases page is unavailable; once it is
on, the saved setting persists and the Cases page opens.
- id: instance-operations.diagnose-health
capabilities:
- instance-operations/diagnostics
context: >-
The fixture's HTTP port is listening but its database readiness check fails.
query: >-
Is this Paperclip instance healthy enough to run work?
expected_outcome: >-
The agent uses permitted health evidence or guides the operator through doctor output and
distinguishes liveness from readiness. It identifies the failing prerequisite rather than
reporting healthy from an HTTP connection alone. Any restricted local check is clearly
assigned to the operator path.
- id: instance-operations.backup-and-restore
capabilities:
- instance-operations/backup
context: >-
The operator owns a disposable source instance and a separate empty restore target; board
backup authority is required.
query: >-
Back up this test instance and check that we can restore it.
expected_outcome: >-
The authorized backup creates an inspectable archive and restoration is verified only in
the separate disposable target. Chat distinguishes backup creation from verified recovery
and reports the restore result. No production database is overwritten and backup contents
or secrets are not published as ordinary chat attachments.
- id: instance-operations.provision-runtime
capabilities:
- instance-operations/runtime-setup
context: >-
The operator owns a published installation that lacks its release-matched Pi runtime
assets.
query: >-
Install the Pi runtime this Paperclip release needs.
expected_outcome: >-
The supported operator runtime path uses verified release-matched assets for the intended
installation and checks runtime readiness. The agent does not fetch an arbitrary latest
binary or read another operator's private cache. A package download alone is not treated
as a qualified running agent.
