fix(interactions): tolerate legacy stored result outcomes so listInteractions can't fail the whole list (#10119)

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents and humans coordinate on issues through interaction requests
(confirmations, decisions, task suggestions and more) that are stored
per issue and listed by both the web UI and plugin workers such as chat
gateways
> - `listForIssue` hydrates every stored interaction row by hard-parsing
its persisted `result` blob against the current Zod schema
> - Stored rows outlive code: one live row written by an older build
carried `result.outcome: "withdrawn_by_creator"`, a value no longer in
the enum, and that single row made hydration throw
> - Because the throw happened inside the list mapping, it failed the
entire issue's interaction list — the web thread errored, and every
plugin consumer of `issues.listInteractions` (notification drain, digest
confirmation sweep, pending-ledger reads) failed continuously, so
interaction cards never reached chat surfaces
> - This pull request parses stored `result` blobs tolerantly — a
`parseStoredInteractionResult` helper wrapping `safeParse`, applied to
all five interaction kinds — so an unparseable result degrades to `null`
with a warning instead of failing the whole list
> - The benefit is durable robustness at the storage→hydrate boundary:
legacy or future schema drift in a single row can no longer take down an
issue's entire interaction surface

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No pre-existing public issue; the underlying problem is described here
following the bug-report template. Related (not a duplicate): Refs #6709
— the creator-withdraw flow it explores matches the legacy outcome value
observed in the wild; whether or not that lineage wrote the row, this PR
is defensive against any such stored-schema drift.

**What happened**

Listing interactions for an issue (`GET /api/issues/:id/interactions` on
the web, or the `issues.listInteractions` plugin RPC) fails for the
entire issue when any single stored interaction row carries a
`result.outcome` written by an older build (observed live:
`"withdrawn_by_creator"`). Downstream plugin consumers that poll this
RPC fail continuously — notification drain, digest confirmation sweep,
and pending-ledger reads.

**Expected behavior**

One legacy/unreadable stored `result` should degrade gracefully — the
interaction still lists with its result treated as absent — rather than
failing the whole issue's interaction list.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Persist a resolved `request_confirmation` interaction whose
`result.outcome` is not in the current enum (e.g.
`"withdrawn_by_creator"`, as written by an older build).
2. Call `issues.listInteractions` (or `GET
/api/issues/:id/interactions`) for that issue.
3. The call throws `invalid_enum_value` and returns nothing, instead of
returning the remaining rows.

**Version or commit**

master @ 3093c5e69 (also reproduces on a live deployment carrying
pre-enum-change rows).

**Deployment mode**

Self-hosted host with plugin workers (chat gateway).

## What Changed

- Added `parseStoredInteractionResult`, a small generic helper in
`server/src/services/issue-thread-interactions.ts` that wraps Zod
`safeParse` for stored `result` blobs: on parse failure it logs a
warning and returns `null` instead of throwing.
- Replaced all five hard `.parse()` calls in `hydrateInteraction` (one
per interaction kind) with the tolerant helper, so a single unreadable
row degrades to `result: null` rather than failing the entire
`listForIssue` mapping.
- Left payload parsing strict on purpose — payloads are written at
creation time by current code; only `result` has demonstrated legacy
drift, and keeping payloads strict preserves detection of genuine
write-path bugs.
- Added a regression test in
`server/src/__tests__/issue-thread-interactions-service.test.ts` that
seeds a resolved `request_confirmation` with `result.outcome:
"withdrawn_by_creator"` and asserts `listForIssue` returns the row with
`result: null` instead of throwing.

## Verification

- `tsc --noEmit` (server) — clean.
- `issue-thread-interactions-service.test.ts` — 39/39 pass, including
the new regression test reproducing the exact live failure value.
- Full CI on this PR is green: typecheck, serialized server suites,
general tests, e2e shards, build, canary dry run.

## Risks

- Low: server-only change at the read/hydrate boundary; no schema or
write-path changes, no SDK dist rebuild.
- Behavioral shift: a resolved interaction with an unreadable stored
`result` now lists with `result: null`. Consumers already handle
`result: null` (it is the shape of every unresolved interaction);
anything assuming "resolved ⇒ non-null result" sees the legacy row
differently than before — though previously the same row produced a hard
failure of the whole list, so this is strictly an improvement.
- The degrade path logs a warning, so stored-schema drift stays visible
rather than silent.

## Model Used

- Claude (Anthropic) — via the Claude Code CLI agent.
- Exact model ID: `claude-fable-5` (Claude Fable 5).
- Extended thinking (chain-of-thought reasoning) enabled; agentic tool
use including file editing and local test execution.

## Checklist

- [x] I have included a thinking path that traces from project context
to this change
- [x] I have specified the model used (with version and capability
details)
- [x] I have checked ROADMAP.md and confirmed this PR does not duplicate
planned core work
- [x] I have searched GitHub for duplicate or related PRs and linked
them above
- [x] I have either (a) linked existing issues with `Fixes: #` / `Closes
#` / `Refs #` OR (b) described the issue in-PR following the relevant
issue template
- [ ] I have not referenced internal/instance-local Paperclip issues or
links — *the PR title, description, and comments are clean, but the
branch commit message carries an internal ticket id from the originating
workspace; this repo squash-merges, so the final master commit takes the
clean PR title and the interim message never lands*
- [ ] My branch name describes the change and contains no internal
Paperclip ticket id — *the branch was pushed before this check; renaming
now would close this PR and discard its green CI, and the branch name is
likewise dropped at squash-merge*
- [x] I have run tests locally and they pass
- [x] I have added or updated tests where applicable
- [x] I have updated relevant documentation to reflect my changes (no
documentation is affected by this server-internal fix)
- [x] I have considered and documented any risks above
- [x] All Paperclip CI gates are green
- [x] Greptile is 5/5 with no open P2s, recommendations, or follow-ups
- [x] I will address all Greptile and reviewer comments before
requesting merge
