Stabilize Cursor sandbox runtime resolution (#5446)

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - The Cursor adapter spawns the Cursor CLI against local, SSH, and
sandbox execution targets; on a fresh sandbox lease, it has to resolve
where Cursor was installed
> - The previous resolver only looked for `~/.local/bin/cursor-agent`
even though the official installer (and the adapter's own
`SANDBOX_INSTALL_COMMAND`) sometimes lays the binary down as
`~/.local/bin/agent`, so a sandbox where the install ran successfully
would still fail to find the CLI
> - This pull request lets the resolver accept either basename and lets
the caller pass an optional `remoteSystemHomeDirHint` so a probe doesn't
pay the cost of a remote `printf $HOME` round-trip when the home
directory is already known
> - The benefit is sandboxed Cursor runs find the binary that the
install actually produced, and runtime probes are cheaper when the home
dir is already resolved

## What Changed

- `packages/adapters/cursor-local/src/server/remote-command.ts`: accept
either `agent` or `cursor-agent` as the preferred basename; new optional
`remoteSystemHomeDirHint` short-circuits the home-dir probe
- `packages/adapters/cursor-local/src/server/execute.ts`: thread the
home-dir hint through, prefer the resolved binary path, and shift the
effective execution cwd to the per-run managed subdirectory once the
runtime is prepared
- New `remote-command.test.ts` and `execute.test.ts` cover both
basenames, the hint short-circuit, and the cwd shift
- `packages/adapters/cursor-local/src/index.ts`: update doc string to
reflect the broader resolution
- `execute.remote.test.ts` updated to expect the managed-subdirectory
cwd shape introduced by the cwd shift

## Verification

- `pnpm vitest run --no-coverage --project
@paperclipai/adapter-cursor-local` — 6/6 passing
- `pnpm typecheck` clean
- Manual: a fresh sandbox lease with `npm install -g …`-installed Cursor
(binary lands as `~/.local/bin/agent`) now runs cleanly through the
adapter

## Risks

Low. Resolver is strictly broader (matches a superset of paths);
existing setups with `~/.local/bin/cursor-agent` continue to work. The
home-dir hint is opt-in; callers that don't pass it get the existing
probe behavior. Cursor's effective execution cwd now matches the rest of
the adapters (per-run managed subdirectory) — sessions previously rooted
at the workspace root will land in the new subdirectory.

## 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 run tests locally and they pass
- [x] I have added or updated tests where applicable — new tests cover
both basenames + hint short-circuit + cwd shift
- [x] If this change affects the UI, I have included before/after
screenshots — N/A (no UI)
- [x] I have updated relevant documentation to reflect my changes
- [x] I have considered and documented any risks above
- [x] I will address all Greptile and reviewer comments before
requesting merge

- Sessions are resumed with --resume when stored session cwd matches current cwd.
- Paperclip auto-injects local skills into "~/.cursor/skills" when missing, so Cursor can discover "$paperclip" and related skills on local runs.
- Paperclip auto-adds --yolo unless one of --trust/--yolo/-f is already present in extraArgs.
- Remote sandbox runs prepend "~/.local/bin" to PATH and prefer "~/.local/bin/cursor-agent" when the default Cursor entrypoint is requested, so standard E2B-style installs do not need hardcoded absolute command paths.
