test(acpx): bind ACPX credential waits to the real retry envelope (#12780)

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The ACPX runtime host tests manage credentials and sandbox
operations.
> - These tests poll operations that can join quarantine recovery.
> - Recovery uses real backoff and directory synchronization, so the
default poll deadline can expire while the operation makes progress.
> - Three tests also stage a contender before the kernel lease release
completes.
> - This pull request binds every relevant poll and staging call to the
documented retry envelope.
> - The benefit is more stable tests and error output that names the
last observed cause.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Under concurrent test load, ACPX runtime host tests failed while
credential recovery still made progress. Three tests also saw an active
lease after they removed `auth.json`.

**Expected behavior**

The tests must wait for the documented retry envelope before they report
a failure. They must stage a contender only after the credential lease
becomes available.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run `npx vitest run src/drivers/acpx/` from
`packages/paperclip-runner`.
2. Run the suite under high concurrent load.
3. Observe intermittent timeout or active-lease failures in
`runtime-host.test.ts`.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`865b4854fb44d3689f1c0ff17e3e715d52aaea73` base commit.

**Deployment mode**

Built from source.

**Installation method**

Built from source.

**Agent adapter(s) involved**

ACPX Codex runtime host tests.

**Database mode**

Not database-related.

**Access context**

Unclear / not applicable.

**Node.js version**

Not recorded in the handoff.

**Operating system**

Not recorded in the handoff.

**Relevant logs or output**

Under concurrent load, the failure included `Timed out in waitFor!`
after 1157 ms and `Managed Codex credential home already has an active
lease`.

**Relevant config (if applicable)**

Not applicable.

**Additional context**

The change touches test code only. It adds no test, removes no test, and
weakens no assertion. The file keeps 28 tests and 146 assertions.

## What Changed

- Add a test-local wait helper with an explicit 10-second deadline.
- Apply the helper to every credential and sandbox poll in
`runtime-host.test.ts`.
- Report the last observed error when a poll reaches its deadline.
- Guard the three credential staging calls that could race with lease
release.
- Set a 20-second timeout on tests that use the long wait.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run src/drivers/acpx/runtime-host.test.ts` passes all 28
tests on the change branch.
- A 40-run concurrent comparison produced zero `runtime-host.test.ts`
failures on the change branch.
- The base comparison produced 13 `runtime-host.test.ts` failures across
40 runs.
- The broader ACPX suite still has a separate
`codex-credentials.test.ts` flake on both arms.
- CI and Greptile results will provide the remaining merge checks.

## Risks

Low risk. The change affects test synchronization only. It increases
selected test wait limits and does not change product behavior.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5. The model used tool calls and code execution. The
runtime did not provide a context window value.

## Checklist

and contains no internal Paperclip ticket id or instance-derived details
- [x] I have run tests locally and recorded the separate ACPX suite
flake above

// A credential or sandbox poll in this file can run behind a real retry
// envelope, not a mocked one. `stageManagedCodexCredential` first joins any
// in-flight quarantine recovery (codex-credentials.ts:183, :610-625). That
// recovery makes up to `MAX_AUTONOMOUS_CREDENTIAL_CLEANUP_ATTEMPTS` (8)
// attempts (codex-credentials.ts:19). The backoff between attempts is 10,
// 20, 40, 80, 160, 320, and 640 ms — 1,270 ms in total
// (codex-credentials.ts:558, :578-582). Each attempt can also run one real
// directory fsync. `DIRECTORY_SYNC_OPERATION_TIMEOUT_MS` (1,000 ms,
// codex-credentials.ts:18, :569, :1304) bounds that fsync. So one full
// recovery pass can cost up to 1,270 ms of backoff plus 8,000 ms of bounded
// fsync waits.
//
// When a pass does not clear the quarantine,
// `recoverQuarantinedCredentialCleanup` joins one more bounded attempt (up
// to 1,000 ms) before it gives up (codex-credentials.ts:616-619). So the
// full documented recovery path costs at least 8,000 + 1,270 + 1,000 =
// 10,270 ms. The vitest default `vi.waitFor` deadline is 1,000 ms, smaller
// than a single one of those inner bounds. So a poll can time out even
// though the call is still in progress.
//
// The helper deadline below adds margin on top of the 10,270 ms documented
// floor for the real filesystem work each attempt also does (two file
// removals and an intent-file delete, none of them bounded by
// `DIRECTORY_SYNC_OPERATION_TIMEOUT_MS`) and for this helper's own 50 ms
// poll granularity and Node event-loop scheduling jitter. A 30-second
// per-test budget keeps this wait reachable under the vitest per-test
// timeout, even for a test that runs the helper more than once.
