Cline Paperclip Adapter

External [Paperclip](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip) adapter that integrates [Cline CLI 2.x](https://github.com/cline/cline) as a managed subprocess. Wraps Cline, passes prompts as arguments, parses JSON output, and maintains task IDs for session resumption across heartbeats.

Part of the [@superbiche/paperclip-adapters](https://github.com/superbiche/paperclip-adapters) external adapter pack — runtime support for agent CLIs beyond Paperclip's builtin set.

Verified behavior

Session persistence demonstrated through nine consecutive 30-second heartbeats resuming the same task Watchdog terminates runs on hang-prone requests, categorizing them with specific error codes Token aggregation and event discrimination verified against Cline's native implementation
