Logan Johnson ea1e97e65f feat(acp): run one prepared task from a file or stdin (#7851)
🤖
## Summary
Scripts, scheduled jobs, and other automation need to give an agent one
prepared task and wait for a result without starting a long-running chat
listener. This adds `buzz-acp run`: it reads a task from a local file or
stdin, runs one fresh agent session with the configured tools and
instructions, cleans up, and exits with a machine-readable status.

```sh
buzz-acp run --task ./task.json
cat task.json | buzz-acp run --task -
```

- The versioned JSON task specifies a task ID, intended agent public
key, prepared prompt, and execution time limit. Invalid input or an
identity mismatch is rejected before agent launch. Credentials,
executable, tools, and permissions remain controlled by trusted launch
settings, not the task document.
- Each invocation uses the normal agent equipment: base/persona/team
instructions, enabled memory, tools, model and effort settings,
permissions, and Git identity, credentials, and signing. Both task and
conversational modes obtain these capabilities from one shared runtime
owner; new shared setup belongs there rather than in separate entry
points.
- Launch configuration reads have a separate ten-second bound and can be
cancelled even when a prompt file blocks. A deadline covers adapter
startup through the task turn. Interrupts and termination signals
trigger bounded cleanup. Stdout contains one terminal JSON record;
diagnostics stay on stderr. A normal turn ending is not proof that the
task achieved its goal.
- Normal invocation remains the conversational service. Task mode does
not start chat subscriptions, presence, heartbeat turns, or a persistent
agent pool. Tasks are trusted executable instructions, not sandboxed
input. Reusing a task ID does not prevent duplicate execution, and
uncertain outcomes must not be blindly retried.

See [the task contract](crates/buzz-acp/TASKS.md) for the document
format, exit codes, limits, and examples. URL retrieval, a task server,
and a persistent execution ledger are outside this change.

### Related issue
None found in the existing issue and PR search.

### Testing
- At `4e86bbc97`: 964 unit tests and 22 integration tests passed, with
three existing ignored tests. The package suite ran serially with
inherited harness/Git options cleared. A final test-only shutdown-result
assertion was then checked with the focused memory test and all-target
Clippy.
- All eight real-binary task tests independently passed on the exact
candidate, including blocked configuration reads, file/stdin validation,
session equipment, deadlines, cancellation, and cleanup. The memory test
passed 20 repeated runs. Removing the oversized-input guard fails the
new error assertion; restoring it passes.
- Package all-target Clippy, formatting, file-size checks, and pre-push
Rust/Tauri checks passed. All executed hosted checks passed on the
updated head (54 successful, 28 skipped). The separate Codex review
comment still requests authorization for this exact range.
- Earlier revisions passed the release build and a real Goose 1.51.0
tool-use smoke test. No new release artifact or installed Janet runtime
is claimed for this feedback revision.
- Repository-wide `just ci` was previously attempted; workspace Clippy
passed, then the desktop dependency check stopped on a local pnpm fetch
failure. Hosted checks cover the applicable PR lanes.
