fix(ui): make adapter test button test only (#8405)

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent adapter configuration is where operators edit the runtime
settings that control how each agent is invoked.
> - The adapter form includes a test action so operators can validate
the in-progress configuration before saving it.
> - In edit mode, that test action changed into `Save + Test` when the
form was dirty, which mixed validation with persistence.
> - Operators already have an explicit Save action for committing
adapter changes.
> - This pull request makes the adapter test action test-only so
validation never implicitly saves a dirty draft.
> - The benefit is clearer operator control: Test validates the current
draft, Save persists it.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No matching public GitHub issue or in-flight PR was found, so this PR
describes the bug inline.

### Pre-submission checklist

- I searched existing open and closed issues and did not find a
duplicate.
- I can reproduce this behavior on current `master` before this branch.
- I confirmed this originates in the Paperclip UI, not in a specific
local agent CLI or provider configuration.

### What happened?

When editing an existing agent adapter configuration, changing an
adapter setting made the adapter environment test button change from
`Test` to `Save + Test`. Clicking it saved dirty edits before running
the environment test.

### Expected behavior

The test action should always be a test action. Dirty draft values
should be validated without persisting them, and the explicit Save
button should be the only save path.

### Steps to reproduce

1. Open an existing agent adapter configuration.
2. Edit an adapter setting so the form becomes dirty.
3. Observe the adapter environment test action label and behavior.

### Paperclip version or commit

Current `master` before this branch, `c0743482b`.

### Deployment mode

Local dev/private operator UI.

### Installation method

Built from source with pnpm.

### Agent adapter(s) involved

Not adapter-specific. The behavior lives in the shared agent adapter
config form.

### Database mode

Not database-related.

### Access context

Board operator UI.

### Additional context

Public searches performed before opening this PR:

- `adapter test save`
- `Save + Test`
- `AgentConfigForm testEnvironment`
- `adapter configuration test button`

No logs or local config are needed for this UI-only behavior report.

## What Changed

- Removed the helper that converted dirty edit-mode adapter tests into
`Save + Test`.
- Removed the save-before-test helper path so clicking Test only invokes
the adapter environment test mutation.
- Kept draft testing behavior by continuing to build the test payload
from the current in-progress adapter config.
- Dropped unit tests that asserted the old save-and-test behavior.

## Verification

- `pnpm vitest run ui/src/components/AgentConfigForm.test.ts` -> 6/6
passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` was attempted locally and
failed on the existing unrelated
`packages/plugins/sdk/src/ui/components.ts` React module-resolution
error before reaching this change.
- Static review: `Save + Test`, `getAgentConfigTestActionLabel`, and
`runAgentConfigEnvironmentTest` no longer appear in `ui/src`.
- Before/after visual state for the dirty edit-mode adapter test action:
  - Before: `Save + Test`
  - After: `Test`
- PR CI passed: policy, commitperclip review,
typecheck/release-registry, build, general tests, serialized server
suites, e2e, canary dry run, aggregate verify, and security scans.
- Greptile passed with 5/5 confidence. The remaining
screenshot/documentation thread was answered and resolved because this
is a text-only button-label state already captured above.

## Risks

Low risk. This is a narrow UI behavior change in the adapter config
form. The main behavior change is intentional: testing a dirty adapter
draft no longer persists it. If an operator expected Test to save edits,
they must now use the explicit Save button.

## Model Used

- Anthropic Claude via Paperclip `claude_local` produced the initial
implementation commit.
- OpenAI GPT-5 Codex via Paperclip `codex_local` reviewed the change,
amended public commit metadata, pushed the branch, and prepared this
pull request. The adapter did not expose an exact context-window value
in the run payload; tool use and local shell execution were used.
