From 7ae3ee786fa1a08f2a96980b0081367eb2b7c374 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Molecule AI Core-DevOps Date: Sun, 10 May 2026 02:17:22 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] feat(workspace): add static .github-token fallback to git credential helper MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Adds a 4th fallback step to the token chain (cache > API > env > static) so workspace git/gh operations survive a platform outage without requiring a restart or platform-side fix. Addresses the 2026-05-08 incident where every workspace lost git+gh auth simultaneously when the /github-installation-token endpoint returned 500. Operator places a PAT in ${CONFIGS_DIR:-/configs}/.github-token (no root needed — /configs is agent-writable). Both _fetch_token (git credential helper path) and _refresh_gh (gh CLI daemon path) gain the static fallback so git and gh both recover post-incident. Pure additive — existing cache > API > env chain is unchanged. Empty static file is rejected (whitespace-stripped before use). Static path never writes the cache, so the API recovers transparently on the next refresh cycle when it comes back online. Ref: issue #140.

Also adds a startup INFO log in main.go when the route is enabled, so operators can confirm the setting in boot logs without having to probe the endpoint directly. Ref: issue #214.
