Harden remote workspace sync and restore flows (#5444)

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - When an agent runs against a remote target, Paperclip syncs the
workspace out to the remote at run start and restores changes back to
the local workspace at run end
> - The previous restore flow naïvely overwrote local files with
whatever the remote returned, so files that the remote run never touched
but had timestamp/mode drift could be needlessly rewritten — and a
single static `refs/paperclip/ssh-sync/imported` ref made concurrent SSH
workspace exports race on the same git ref
> - This pull request adds a `workspace-restore-merge` module that diffs
a pre-run snapshot against the post-run remote state and only writes
back files the remote actually changed; SSH workspace exports now use a
per-import unique ref so concurrent runs can't trample each other
> - Every adapter's execute path threads the snapshot through
`prepareAdapterExecutionTargetRuntime` so the merge has the baseline it
needs
> - The benefit is workspace restores no longer churn untouched files,
and concurrent SSH runs no longer collide on the import ref

## What Changed

- `packages/adapter-utils/src/workspace-restore-merge.{ts,test.ts}`: new
module — directory snapshot (kind/mode/sha256/symlink target) plus
snapshot-aware merge that writes only the files the remote changed
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/ssh.ts`: SSH workspace export uses a
per-import unique ref (`refs/paperclip/ssh-sync/imported/<uuid>`);
restore goes through the new merge helper; `ssh-fixture.test.ts` covers
the unique-ref + merge paths
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-managed-runtime.ts` +
`remote-managed-runtime.ts`: thread the snapshot/merge through the
sandbox and SSH paths
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.{ts,test.ts}` +
`execution-target.ts`: helpers for capturing the pre-run snapshot;
`prepareAdapterExecutionTargetRuntime` gains required `runId` and
optional `workspaceRemoteDir`, and returns the realized
`workspaceRemoteDir`
- Each adapter's `execute.ts` (acpx, claude, codex, cursor, gemini,
opencode, pi) takes the snapshot at run start and passes it through to
the runtime restore
- Remote execute test mocks updated to match the new
`prepareWorkspaceForSshExecution` return shape and the per-run
`${managedRemoteWorkspace}` cwd subdirectory

## Verification

- `pnpm vitest run --no-coverage --project @paperclipai/adapter-utils
--project @paperclipai/adapter-acpx-local --project
@paperclipai/adapter-claude-local --project
@paperclipai/adapter-codex-local --project
@paperclipai/adapter-cursor-local --project
@paperclipai/adapter-gemini-local --project
@paperclipai/adapter-opencode-local --project
@paperclipai/adapter-pi-local` — 196/196 passing
- `pnpm typecheck` clean across the workspace

## Risks

Medium. The restore path now writes a strict subset of what it
previously did — files the remote did not touch are no longer rewritten.
If any flow was relying on a touch-without-content-change being copied
back (timestamp or permission propagation only), that behavior is now
skipped. Snapshot capture adds an O(N-files-in-workspace) hash pass at
run start; the cost is bounded by the existing exclude list. The `runId`
parameter on `prepareAdapterExecutionTargetRuntime` is now required —
every in-tree caller is updated; out-of-tree adapter authors need to
pass it.
