DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 e194e1930b fix(native): prove a drained remote start had no turn when its controller only read the goal (#20137)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - When a graceful drain suspends a remote native run during its start,
restart recovery may bootstrap it again only if the run's Postgres
controller checkpoint proves that no provider turn exists
> - That proof accepted `run.prepare`, `session.open` and session-open
events
> - A codex controller reads the session goal (`session.goal.get`, a
read-only query) right after it opens the session and before it sends
the first turn. A drain that lands in that window leaves a third command
in the checkpoint
> - The proof refused any checkpoint with a third command. Recovery
called it `ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence` and blocked replay, so
the task waited for the board
> - This pull request lets the proof accept the runner maintenance and
read-only session commands that already count as maintenance in the
local proof, and reads every recorded command
> - The benefit is that a run drained in the first seconds of a per-turn
Daytona start bootstraps again on its own

**What happened?**
Daytona per-turn restart-chaos wave w-20261108T225520-s9501 (master
15b987d9b8), task t06, subtask CHA-13, run `687578c9`:
- A K2 graceful drain at 23:11:55.096 suspended the run 4 s into its
start.
- Restart recovery at 23:12:03 blocked it as
`native_restart_recovery_blocked` /
`ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`, and replay was blocked as
`preserve_without_replay_v1`.
- The subtask rested `blocked`. Its parent CHA-10 then failed R1.

I decrypted the run's controller checkpoint with the kept instance's
local key:
- **commands:** `run.prepare` (completed), `session.open` (completed),
`session.goal.get` (completed, written 18 ms before the drain);
- **events:** `session.started`, `session.capabilities.updated`,
`session.goal.snapshot` ×2;
- **cursor:** `ackedSourceSeq` 4, `commandCount` 3.

No turn was ever sent. `nativeRunnerCheckpointRemoteBootstrapProof`
rejected the checkpoint because only the parts `command:1` and
`command:2` were allowed, and `runnerdStateHasNoProviderTurn` accepted
only bootstrap commands.

**Expected behavior**
A controller record that holds only a completed bootstrap, read-only
session commands and session-open events proves that no provider turn
exists. The run bootstraps again (`remote_session_opened_without_turn`)
without a Retry.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a codex run on a remote sandbox and drain the control plane
after `session.open` completes and `session.goal.get` is issued, but
before `turn.start`.
2. Restart. Before this change, recovery blocks the run with
`ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`.

**Paperclip version or commit**
15b987d9b8 (wave). Branch rebased on current master.

## What Changed

- `native-runner-checkpoint.ts`
(`nativeRunnerCheckpointRemoteBootstrapProof`):
  - accepts up to 8 `command:N` parts and reads them all in order;
- requires the stored command parts to match the cursor's
`commandCount`, so no command can be missing;
  - keeps the 16-event bound.
- `native-bootstrap-proof.ts` (`runnerdStateHasNoProviderTurn`): besides
`run.prepare` and `session.open`, also accepts the existing
`RUNNER_MAINTENANCE_COMMAND_TYPES`:
  - `runner.drain`, `runner.suspend` and `runner.shutdown`;
  - `session.snapshot` and `session.goal.get`.
  
The local opened-session proof already treats these as maintenance; none
of them sends provider input.
- `native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts`:
- a red/green test with the exact CHA-13 shape, covering both the
recovery claim and the executor's restored-checkpoint proof;
  - a held case where a `session.goal.set` follows the read.

## Verification

- Red/green: on master, the new test is blocked. With the change,
recovery claims `bootstrap_incomplete` with the reason
`remote_session_opened_without_turn`, and the executor's proof agrees.
- Existing held cases still hold: a turn was issued, a turn event was
committed, an acknowledged event is missing, a provider turn event was
projected, and the new `session.goal.set` case.
- `vitest run` over the native bootstrap, restart-recovery and
runner-checkpoint test files and `native-session-executor.test.ts`: 9
files, 1542 tests passed (14 skipped).
- `PAPERCLIP_TYPECHECK_LOW_MEMORY=1 pnpm typecheck` (`server`): passed.

## Risks

- Low risk:
- The added commands are the same maintenance and read-only set the
local proof already accepts.
- Any turn command, any non-session-open event, a missing acknowledged
event, or a command count that differs from the stored parts still fails
closed.
- Not changed: when replay was already blocked and the saved work was
later recovered, the task still waits for a board Retry. This fix keeps
that block from happening for this shape.
