Operational and one-off scripts for molecule-core. Most are self-documenting — see the header comments in each file.

RFC #2251 coordinator task-bound harnesses

There are three related scripts; pick the right one:

Script	Purpose	Targets
measure-coordinator-task-bounds.sh	Canonical v1 harness for the RFC #2251 / Issue 4 reproduction. Provisions a PM coordinator + Researcher child via claude-code-default + langgraph templates, sends a synthesis-heavy A2A kickoff, observes elapsed time + activity trace.	OSS-shape platform — localhost or any /workspaces-shaped endpoint. Has tenant/admin-token guards for non-localhost runs.
measure-coordinator-task-bounds-runner.sh	Generalised runner for the same measurement contract but with arbitrary template + secret + model combinations (Hermes/MiniMax, etc.). Useful for cross-runtime variants without modifying the canonical harness.	Same as above (local or SaaS via MODE=saas).
measure-coordinator-task-bounds.sh (in molecule-controlplane)	Production-shape variant that bootstraps a real staging tenant via POST /cp/admin/orgs, then runs the same measurement against <slug>.staging.moleculesai.app.	Staging controlplane only — refuses to run against production.

See reference_harness_pair_pattern (auto-memory) for when to use which and the cross-repo design rationale.

Common safety pattern across all three

• Cleanup trap on EXIT/INT/TERM auto-deletes provisioned resources.
• DRY_RUN=1 prints plan + auth fingerprint, exits before any state mutation. Run this before pointing at staging or any shared infrastructure.
• Non-target guard refuses arbitrary endpoints (the controlplane variant is locked to staging-api.moleculesai.app; the OSS variant requires explicit auth + tenant scoping for non-localhost PLATFORM).
• Cleanup failures emit cleanup_*_failed events with remediation hints; no silenced curl. ADMIN_TOKEN expiring mid-run surfaces as a structured event rather than a silent leak.

Activity trace caveat

If activity_trace.raw == "<endpoint_unavailable>", the per-workspace /activity endpoint isn't wired on the target build — the bound measurement is INCONCLUSIVE on the platform-ceiling question. Either wire the endpoint or replace with the equivalent Datadog query. Note that /activity accepts a since_secs query parameter; see the endpoint handler for the supported range.

Other scripts

• cleanup-rogue-workspaces.sh — emergency teardown for leaked workspaces. Prompts for confirmation. Pair with the harnesses if a cleanup trap fails (see cleanup_*_failed events).
• staging-smoke.sh — quick smoke test for the staging canary fleet (formerly canary-smoke.sh).
• dev-start.sh — local-dev platform bring-up.

The rest are self-documenting in their header comments.
