Add checkout compliance and run traceability to all agents

Add explicit POST /api/issues/{issueId}/checkout and PATCH status
update curl templates with X-Paperclip-Run-Id headers to all agent
heartbeats. Document Gemini workspace sandboxing in Hugh's TOOLS.md.
Also removed Regina's ghost instructionsFilePath from live DB.

## Gemini Workspace Restrictions
The `gemini_local` adapter sandboxes Gemini's built-in file tools (`grep_search`, `read_file`, etc.) to the workspace directory. Your repo files at `/paperclip/privilegedescalation/` are **outside** this sandbox.
**Do NOT use Gemini's native file tools to access the repo.** They will fail with "Path not in workspace."
Instead, use `bash` wrappers:
- `cat`, `grep`, `find`, `ls` — for reading/searching files
- `gh` — for GitHub operations
- `curl` — for API calls
