Devin Foley 2dce81fbf6 Add optional bridge proxy request logging via PAPERCLIP_BRIDGE_DEBUG (#5140)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - Agents on remote sandboxes call back into the Paperclip control
plane via a
> callback bridge — the host process running the bridge proxies HTTP
requests
>   from the sandbox to the Paperclip API
> - When something goes wrong end-to-end (sandbox can't reach Paperclip,
requests
> timing out, malformed responses), it's hard to tell whether the bridge
> processed the request, what URL/method it used, and what the upstream
>   responded with
> - There was no built-in way to log bridge proxy traffic without
modifying
>   adapter code or attaching a debugger
> - This PR adds opt-in stdout logging of every bridge proxy request and
response
> (method, path, query, status), gated behind `PAPERCLIP_BRIDGE_DEBUG`
so it
>   stays off by default
> - The benefit is that operators can flip a single env var to get full
visibility
> into bridge traffic when debugging remote runs, without changing code

## What Changed

- `packages/adapter-utils/src/execution-target.ts`:
`startAdapterExecutionTargetPaperclipBridge`'s `handleRequest` now logs
each
  proxied request and response when `PAPERCLIP_BRIDGE_DEBUG` is truthy:
    - `[paperclip] Bridge proxy <METHOD> <path>?<query>` before fetch
- `[paperclip] Bridge proxy response <status> for <METHOD>
<path>?<query>` after
- Logging is no-op when the env var is unset/`"0"`/`"false"`.

## Verification

- Set `PAPERCLIP_BRIDGE_DEBUG=1` in the host process env, run an agent
against
a sandbox-backed environment, confirm the bridge log lines appear in
stdout.
- Unset the env var and confirm no extra log lines appear during normal
runs.

## Risks

- Off-by-default, no observable change for shipping users.
- When enabled, the logging is verbose — every API call from the sandbox
  produces 2 stdout lines. Operators should only enable it during active
  debugging.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-5.4 (reasoning effort: high) via Codex CLI
- Provider: OpenAI
- Used to author the code changes in this PR
