DottaandPaperclip d7283e8757 test(e2e): cover chat reload and fresh sessions (#18784)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip keeps agent work attached to saved company records.
> - Agent Chat keeps one conversation for each person and agent.
> - Reload must preserve context without starting another turn.
> - The ordinary `/new` command must create fresh provider context and
preserve history.
> - Existing local chat journeys cover these behaviors, but the
deployment-targeted daily catalog does not.
> - This PR adds one reusable journey with independent saved-state and
rendered-reply checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #2242, #18655.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Product E2E coverage for Agent Chat persistence and session reset on an
attached deployment.

**Current behavior**

The deployment-targeted catalog has no bounded check for recall after
reopening and a fresh session in the same saved conversation.

**Proposed behavior**

Remember a random phrase, reopen and reload the chat, then ask for the
phrase without supplying it. Send `/new` through the ordinary composer.
Require a new native session and a fresh-context answer while the
original chat and history remain saved.

## What Changed

- Add the `chat-continuity` flow and independent evidence grader.
- Reuse the existing chat sender and run-bound native reply reader.
- Require exact board-user message attribution, three successful native
provider turns and one synthetic reset row. Count all four persisted run
IDs. A reset with provider input or a native session cannot pass as
synthetic work.
- Use the original bound issue-run summary to prove reset completion
when the detail result is null or compact. Preserve the raw detail and
require its reset context, company, agent, issue and wake comment to
agree. Native provider turns require committed native state and
independent output evidence; an optional duplicate result field is not
required.
- Require an empty agent-filtered run history before the first send.
Reused agents are unsupported for this case. Validate every agent-scoped
activity row and reject mixed or truncated responses; do not filter
global history into a pass.
- Require the fresh native detail to contain an explicit null
`sessionIdBefore`. Missing or empty admission evidence cannot prove a
fresh provider session. Keep optional result blobs optional.
- Check provider, model, environment, native session, finalization and
reset generation. Reject stale replies, duplicate sends, extra runs,
missing history and unexpected work.
- Permit authenticated chat screenshots through the existing same-origin
and mounted-Layout guard. Authentication and unrelated settings pages
remain excluded.
- Register the case, exact checks, source hash inputs, discovery and
documentation. Feature-map files are unchanged.

## Verification

- Normal merge commit `ddc37bb05b87cbc1fa449e4b2fc5a4677f0fe3b6` has
exactly two real parents: the staging-qualified chat source
`4c6cc9d67d2ae577e3a8ae7856bd6ae22a8489c1` and lifecycle squash
`8771606fd87f69ed4057779e3dce3a9bca8088e6` from #18782. Thirteen
dedicated case, support and reused runtime/oracle files are
byte-for-byte preserved. The eight shared registry placements match the
finite integration forecast. The nine required checks and four-run limit
are unchanged.
- The integrated source passes 99 focused tests across three files and
925 related Product E2E/catalog/native-reply tests across 42 files.
Credential-free discovery lists 22 unique journeys, including chat and
lifecycle exactly once. The PR diff against the actual lifecycle squash
passes its whitespace check and remains the original 17 chat paths.
- The current canonical `node scripts/typecheck-test-projects.mjs
--low-memory tests/runner-e2e` passes, including Runner TypeScript and
server declaration prerequisites. The DB migration checks and build pass
against the actual squash's execution-admission schema and migration
0428. No Rust build was run locally. Canonical generated outputs are
bound to current tracked inputs and were rechecked after tests.
- The first direct typecheck found a stale generated Runner export,
`taskDocumentKeySchema`; the current canonical prerequisites resolved
it. A frozen offline install lacked a cached locked tarball, and an
initial child command reached the global pnpm version switch and failed
signature retrieval. Fetching only locked packages and pinning child
pnpm to 9.15.4 corrected the setup. The original diagnostics remain
retained; no tracked source was changed to bypass them.
- The unchanged chat implementation passed a genuine staging campaign,
workflow 41725181387, at source
`4c6cc9d67d2ae577e3a8ae7856bd6ae22a8489c1`: all nine checks, all five
phases, three provider turns plus one synthetic reset, all four usage
IDs, and closed cleanup. This evidence remains bound to that original
source. The new integration head requires its own current gates and
coordinator qualification decision; this PR does not enroll anything in
the daily plan.
- The earlier staging workflow 41701828968 remains failed. Its nine
behavior checks passed, but private collection rejected the valid
reset's capture of the old session and cleanup failed. The private
adapter fix and evidence-first recovery were handled separately. The
original failed grade and archive are preserved. Reset prior-session
capture is distinct from the third native turn's explicit-null fresh
admission.
- Three missing/undefined/empty fresh-admission controls reproduced
false passes on `247827a066af01fa583ff030df79b61cb2c87730`, then passed
after the strict null fix. Four earlier controls reproduced
compact-detail, mixed-activity, missing fresh-agent receipt and
unscoped-activity problems. Their original failures remain retained.
Positive and wrong outcomes still enforce bound reset summaries,
committed native state, configured identity and independent rendered
output. Board provisioning uses the acting-agent filter; it does not
grandfather earlier work by the test agent.
- The first broad support attempt passed 861 tests and failed one
report-generator check. A separate reproduction showed `listen EPERM`
for the tsx local IPC socket before report output; the unchanged support
suite passed with normal local IPC permission. An early flow fixture
also returned an object where the events API returns an array; the real
event reader rejected it, and only that fixture was corrected. Both
original failures remain recorded.
- Original commit `d6226b30acaf5a2dad28030f5b295ac1dd119565` failed full
CI
[41653171240](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41653171240):
a CLI child-server runtime-file wait and two 15-second
attention-retention timeouts, followed by database setup/cleanup errors.
Their exact causes remain unresolved; the failed jobs and logs were
retained and not retried. A later pass does not explain those timeouts.
- Strict-admission source `055a7fa99e7cb8aad12b85fccf23880f0dc98a3f`
failed full CI
[41669527762](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41669527762):
private-invitation and pending-shell access fixtures. The retained
assertions match the account-identity fixture repair in #18799, now
included through master, together with #18798 and #18650. No old-head
job was retried. Subsequent source
`4c6cc9d67d2ae577e3a8ae7856bd6ae22a8489c1` passed full CI 41680411215
and current-source review at 5/5.
- Current full CI [41743580793, attempt
2](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41743580793/attempts/2)
completed successfully on unchanged
`ddc37bb05b87cbc1fa449e4b2fc5a4677f0fe3b6` at 2026-11-04 00:34:52 UTC:
48 successful jobs and one intentional selector skip. Attempt 1 remains
failed: three run-bound runners were independently confirmed to have
lost Spot capacity, and the two aggregate failures reflected those
interrupted lanes. The build and boot health smoke had passed before
interruption. Exactly one failed-job recheck was used; no source change
or further retry was made. Fresh exact-head Greptile review is 5/5 with
no new actionable issues and both review threads resolved. The separate
Ponytail assessment says Ship with no must-fix or should-fix item; its
optional direct board-row grader control remains documented.
Whole-workspace recursive typecheck, full tests and full build were
covered by hosted verification and were not repeated locally; the
bounded local checks above passed. These gates do not claim that a later
master merge tree has been live-qualified.

## Risks

The attached target must supply a fresh disposable native agent and
durable pre-send ownership for its chat. Its private adapter must
collect all four run IDs, distinguish the synthetic reset from the three
provider turns, and stop and clean up owned resources after evidence is
saved.

This case verifies browser reload, reopen and explicit session reset. It
does not verify controller restart. Unknown setup or provider cost
remains unknown. No shared QA source agent, model setting, production
behavior or budget policy is changed by this public PR.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex with reasoning, code execution and repository
tools. The runtime does not expose a more specific model identifier or
context-window size.
