Standardize CI / validate as the canonical generated-repo validate-context (molecule-ci SSOT side)

Durable-fix step 1 from bp-drift-durable-fix.md. Follows the merged advisory BP-context drift-gate (#32). Advisory / foundational only — no consumer repo is touched, no branch protection is changed, no secret is set.

What this PR adds

Three canonical consumer ci.yml templates in templates/, the files new generated repos inherit:

file	for	emits
templates/ci-org-template.yml	org-template repos	CI / validate
templates/ci-plugin.yml	plugin repos	CI / validate
templates/ci-workspace-template.yml	workspace-template repos	CI / validate (fork PRs → static-only)

Each sets workflow name: CI + a job whose status display-name is validate, so the emitted commit-status context is exactly CI / validate across the fleet.

(a) Canonical name decision: CI / validate

Keep CI / validate (already on ~26 repos — minimizes churn). Fix the EMITTER side here in molecule-ci rather than renaming BP on ~26 repos. The cleanest emitter is a consumer ci.yml with name: CI + an inline validate: job.

Why inline, not uses: — cross-repo uses: molecule-ai/molecule-ci/.gitea/workflows/...@ref (workflow_call) is Gitea-1.22.6-fragile: [actions].DEFAULT_ACTIONS_URL=github routes the reusable-workflow fetch to github.com where the molecule-ai org is suspended. The inline job anon-clones the public molecule-ci SSOT at CI time and runs the canonical validator directly — same single source of truth, no cross-repo uses: dependency. (Note: uses:-form consumers today still emit CI / validate because the context is <consumer workflow name> / <consumer job key> = CI / validate regardless — but they're one DEFAULT_ACTIONS_URL hiccup away from a 404'd, non-emitting run; the inline form removes that fragility while keeping the identical context.) When the operator-host actions/* mirror lands (internal #109) the inline job can collapse back to uses: WITHOUT changing the emitted context.

The SSOT is cloned into .molecule-ci (not .molecule-ci-canonical) so the canonical check-secrets.py — whose SKIP_DIRS prunes .molecule-ci — does not scan the cloned SSOT and self-flag.

CI impact (molecule-ci's own)

No existing file changed; only templates/ added. Gitea Actions only runs .gitea/workflows/** and .github/workflows/**, so templates/*.yml are inert data files and molecule-ci's CI (yaml-lint / python-lint / pytest / secrets-scan) is unaffected. All three templates were YAML-parse-validated and confirmed to emit name: CI / job validate.

(b) Convergence checklist (follow-up — out of scope for THIS PR)

Audited via read-only branch_protections/main + .gitea/workflows/ci.yml across all org-template / plugin / workspace-template repos. Each item below is a 1-PR-each follow-up to converge the consumer ci.yml and/or owner-gated BP onto CI / validate.

Already converged (BP CI / validate + inline emit — no action): plugin-browser-automation, plugin-ecc, plugin-molecule-audit, plugin-molecule-audit-trail, plugin-molecule-careful-bash, plugin-molecule-compliance, plugin-molecule-dev, plugin-molecule-freeze-scope, plugin-molecule-hitl, plugin-molecule-prompt-watchdog, plugin-molecule-security-scan, plugin-molecule-session-context, plugin-molecule-skill-code-review, plugin-molecule-skill-cron-learnings, plugin-molecule-skill-cross-vendor-review, plugin-molecule-skill-llm-judge, plugin-molecule-skill-update-docs, plugin-molecule-workflow-retro, plugin-molecule-workflow-triage, plugin-superpowers.

Emitter convergence (uses:-form → inline this template; keeps CI / validate):

• molecule-ai-org-template-molecule-worker-gemini — ci.yml uses: validate-org-template.yml@main
• molecule-ai-org-template-reno-stars — ci.yml uses: validate-org-template.yml@main
• molecule-ai-plugin-molecule-skill-five-axis-review — ci.yml uses: validate-plugin.yml@main
• molecule-ai-workspace-template-crewai — ci.yml uses: validate-workspace-template.yml@main
• molecule-ai-workspace-template-deepagents — ci.yml uses: validate-workspace-template.yml@main
• molecule-ai-workspace-template-gemini-cli — ci.yml uses: validate-workspace-template.yml@main

BP required-context convergence (OWNER-LEVER — CTO, not this PR):

• molecule-ai-org-template-molecule-production — LIVE PERMA-BLOCK, see (c)
• molecule-ai-org-template-molecule-dev — BP requires BOTH CI / Org template validation + CI / validate (emits both). Drop the legacy CI / Org template validation once converged → require only CI / validate.
• molecule-ai-org-template-ux-ab-lab — BP enable_status_check=true but status_check_contexts=[] (no required context — gate is inert). Set to CI / validate after its ci.yml emits it.
• molecule-ai-org-template-mock-bigorg — BP enable_status_check=false, ctxs=[]; no .gitea/workflows/ci.yml. Add ci.yml from templates/ci-org-template.yml + enable BP CI / validate.
• molecule-ai-org-template-gemini-growth-team — NO BP, no ci.yml. Add ci.yml + BP.
• molecule-ai-plugin-coding-discipline — BP enable_status_check=false (gate off though ci.yml emits CI / validate). Enable + require CI / validate.
• molecule-ai-workspace-template-claude-code — BP requires Template validation (static)/(runtime) + Adapter unit tests + Secret scan / ..., NOT CI / validate. Add CI / validate to BP (it already emits it) or converge to the single validate job.
• molecule-ai-workspace-template-hermes — BP requires CI / Shell unit tests + Template validation static/runtime + CI / validate. Already includes CI / validate; consider consolidating the extras.
• molecule-ai-workspace-template-langgraph — BP CI / validate + Secret scan / ... (OK; secret-scan is a legit repo extra).
• molecule-ai-workspace-template-openclaw — BP CI / validate + Secret scan / secret-scan (OK).
• molecule-ai-workspace-template-autogen — BP CI / validate (OK; ci.yml also emits an unused CI / all-required).

Gate gaps (NO branch protection at all — add BP after emitter converges):

• molecule-ai-workspace-template-google-adk — NO BP (emits CI / validate).
• molecule-ai-workspace-template-seo-agent — NO BP, no ci.yml.

(Legit non-validate custom contexts, NOT drift — leave as-is: molecule-ai-plugin-gh-identity requires CI / Go build + test + vet + CI / Shellcheck + wrapper tests.)

(c) ⚠️ LIVE BP PERMA-BLOCK — needs CTO BP action (owner-lever)

molecule-ai-org-template-molecule-production branch protection on main requires:

• CI / all-required (pull_request) — NO workflow emits this (its ci.yml has a single validate: job named Org template validation → emits only CI / Org template validation). An unemitted required context is treated as perma-pending, so the Gitea merge endpoint returns HTTP 405 "try again later" forever. Any PR to this repo is currently un-mergeable.
• approval-gate / dual-pool (pull_request)

Recommended BP change (CTO, owner-lever — I did NOT make it): change the required context from CI / all-required (pull_request) → CI / Org template validation (pull_request) (what it emits today), unblocking the repo immediately. Then as a follow-up converge its ci.yml validate: job-name to validate (per templates/ci-org-template.yml) and flip BP to the canonical CI / validate (pull_request).

(d) Gate promotion path

After the emitter-convergence items above land and a clean advisory window passes, the merged bp-context-drift-gate (#32) can be promoted advisory → required (continue-on-error: false + add bp-context-drift-gate to BP), which requires the DRIFT_BOT_TOKEN org secret (already set) — both owner-levers, separate follow-up PRs.

feat(ci): canonical CI / validate consumer ci.yml templates (inline validate job, sidestep Gitea-1.22 cross-repo uses:) ... e7e0082c83

Add templates/ci-{org-template,plugin,workspace-template}.yml as the
canonical ci.yml that new generated repos inherit. Each sets workflow
name: CI + a job whose status display-name is validate, so the emitted
commit-status context is exactly CI / validate fleet-wide. This lets a
single canonical branch-protection required context (CI / validate
(pull_request)) work across every template/plugin repo and lets the
bp-context-drift-gate (advisory, merged #32) later go hard.

The validate job INLINES the canonical validator: it anon-clones the
public molecule-ci SSOT at CI time and runs the validator script
directly, instead of cross-repo uses: molecule-ai/molecule-ci/... which
is Gitea-1.22.6-fragile (DEFAULT_ACTIONS_URL=github routes the
reusable-workflow fetch to the suspended github.com org). Same SSOT
(validator lives in molecule-ci, fetched fresh per run), no cross-repo
uses: dependency. When the operator-host actions/* mirror lands the
inline job can collapse back to uses: without changing the emitted
CI / validate context.

SSOT cloned into .molecule-ci (not .molecule-ci-canonical) so the
canonical check-secrets.py SKIP_DIRS prunes it and does not self-flag.

No consumer repo touched and no existing molecule-ci workflow changed,
so molecule-ci CI (yaml-lint/python-lint/pytest/secrets-scan) is
unaffected. Design: bp-drift-durable-fix.md step 1.

Requesting changes on the workspace-template CI template path.

The org/plugin templates clone molecule-ci into .molecule-ci and then run validators from .molecule-ci/.molecule-ci/scripts/..., which matches the cloned repo layout. But templates/ci-workspace-template.yml runs both workspace validator steps as .molecule-ci/scripts/validate-workspace-template.py. That path skips the cloned repo's .molecule-ci/ directory and will not find the SSOT script after git clone ... .molecule-ci.

This means new workspace-template repos inheriting this template would emit the canonical CI / validate job, but the job would fail at the validator step instead of providing the intended static/full validation. Please change both workspace-template validator invocations to .molecule-ci/.molecule-ci/scripts/validate-workspace-template.py to match the clone layout and the org/plugin templates.

Approved on head 36daaf28d1.

Re-review confirms the prior blocker is fixed: both workspace-template validator invocations now use the cloned molecule-ci layout at .molecule-ci/.molecule-ci/scripts/validate-workspace-template.py, matching the org/plugin templates. The three templates consistently emit CI / validate, keep permissions to contents:read, pin checkout/setup-python actions, avoid cross-repo workflow_call fragility, and preserve fork-PR static-only behavior for workspace-template validation.

5-axis pass: correctness and robustness look sound for new generated repos, security posture is appropriate for untrusted fork PRs and secret scanning, performance impact is bounded to normal validation jobs, and the templates are readable. CI is green and the PR is mergeable.
