Supersedes PRs #1882 + #1883 (both had merge conflicts / missing callerID decl).
Applied directly onto current staging HEAD (26c4565).

Changes:
- terminal.go: upgrade KI-005 guard ValidateAnyToken → ValidateToken (GH#756/#1609)
  Binds bearer token to claimed X-Workspace-ID; prevents cross-workspace terminal forge.
  Fixes missing `callerID` declaration that broke compilation in PR #1882.
- ssrf.go: add ssrfCheckEnabled flag + setSSRFCheckForTest helper for test isolation
- ssrf.go validateRelPath: harden to reject empty/"." paths; check both raw+cleaned for ..
- templates.go: ReadFile — exec form cat ["cat", rootPath, filePath] (was shell concat)
- orgtoken/tokens_test.go: fix regex (remove optional LIMIT $1 group)
- wsauth_middleware_test.go: add deprecated orgTokenOrgIDQuery const; update comments
- wsauth_middleware_org_id_test.go: use real org_id UUID in DBRowScanError test row

Security classification:
  F1085 (CWE-78) path traversal + exec form — P0 Fixed
  KI-005 terminal auth bypass (ValidateToken upgrade) — P0 Fixed
  CWE-22 SSRF test isolation — P0 Fixed

Subject: [PATCH 2/8] fix(restart): preserve user config volume on default
 restart (#1822 drift-risk-3)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

### Repro

On Canvas: create a workspace named "Hermes Agent" (runtime=langgraph,
model=langgraph default). Open the Config tab, switch the model to a
Minimax provider + Minimax token, hit Save and Restart. The model
reverts to the default on every restart.

### Root cause

`workspace_restart.go` called `findTemplateByName(configsDir, wsName)`
unconditionally when the request body had no explicit `template`:

    template := body.Template
    if template == "" {
        template = findTemplateByName(h.configsDir, wsName)
    }

`findTemplateByName` normalises the name ("Hermes Agent" → "hermes-agent")
and ALSO scans every template's `config.yaml` for a matching `name:`
field — a two-layer match that returns non-empty for any workspace whose
name coincides with a template dir OR any template whose config.yaml
claims the same display name.

When the match returned non-empty, the restart handler set
`templatePath = <template>` and the provisioner rewrote the workspace's
config volume from the template on `Start`. The Canvas Save+Restart
flow's `PUT /workspaces/:id/files/config.yaml` had already written the
user's edits to the volume — those got clobbered.

The comment immediately below (line 187) ALREADY said:

    // Apply runtime-default template ONLY when explicitly requested
    // via "apply_template": true. Use case: runtime was changed via
    // Config tab — need new runtime's base files. Normal restarts
    // preserve existing config volume (user's model, skills, prompts).

The code contradicted the comment. The design intent was right; the
implementation short-circuited it. Matches drift-risk #3 in #1822's
Docker-vs-EC2 parity tracker ("Config-tab save must flush to DB before
kicking off restart, not deferred").

### Fix

Extracted the template-resolution chain into a pure function
`resolveRestartTemplate(configsDir, wsName, dbRuntime, body)` in a new
`restart_template.go`. Gated the name-based auto-match on
`body.ApplyTemplate`:

  1. Explicit `body.Template` → always honoured (caller consent).
  2. `ApplyTemplate=true` → name-based auto-match (prior behaviour).
  3. `RebuildConfig=true` → org-templates recovery fallback (#239).
  4. `ApplyTemplate=true` + dbRuntime → `<runtime>-default/`.
  5. Fall through → empty path + "existing-volume" label. Provisioner
     reuses the volume. This is the path Canvas Save+Restart now hits.

The handler now calls this helper and uses the returned path directly.
Duplicate rebuild_config blocks at lines 167-186 were consolidated into
the helper's single tier-3 case in passing.

### Abstraction win

`resolveRestartTemplate` is a pure function — no gin context, no DB, no
network. Takes a struct input, returns two strings. The whole priority
chain is unit-testable in a temp dir, which is exactly what
`restart_template_test.go` does.

### Tests

`restart_template_test.go` — 8 table-style unit tests covering every
branch of the priority chain:

  - DefaultRestart_PreservesVolume — the regression. Even when a
    template's config.yaml `name:` field matches the workspace name
    exactly (worst case), a default restart MUST return empty path.
  - ExplicitTemplate_AlwaysHonoured — caller-by-name, any mode.
  - ApplyTemplate_NameMatch — opt-in restores the auto-match.
  - ApplyTemplate_RuntimeDefault — runtime-change flow still works.
  - ApplyTemplate_NoMatch_NoRuntime — fallback to existing-volume.
  - InvalidExplicitTemplate_ProceedsWithout — traversal attempt stays
    inside root, falls through cleanly.
  - NonExistentExplicitTemplate — deleted/missing template falls through.
  - Priority_ExplicitBeatsApplyTemplate — explicit Template wins over
    name-match when both fire.

Full handlers race suite (`go test -race ./internal/handlers/`) still
passes — existing Restart-handler tests unchanged.

### Blast radius

Any restart caller that omitted `apply_template: true` and relied on
name-matching auto-applying a template is now a behaviour change.
Identified call sites in this repo:

  - Canvas Save+Restart button (store/canvas.ts) — explicitly the
    flow this commit fixes, definitely wanted the fix.
  - Canvas Restart button (same file) — same semantics; user expects
    a restart, not a template reset.
  - Auto-restart sweeper (#1858) — never passes apply_template and
    depends on the existing volume having valid config. Separately,
    `workspace_provision.go`'s #1858 recovery path detects empty
    volumes and auto-applies `<runtime>-default` without going
    through findTemplateByName, so recovery is unaffected.
  - RestartByID — internal callers; audited, all intended "restart
    as-is", none relied on auto-template-match.

No SaaS parity impact — this is a handler behaviour fix that applies
equally to Docker and EC2 backends (both use the same Restart handler
before dispatching to their respective provisioners).

Subject: [PATCH 3/8] test(handlers): update KI005 terminal tests for
 ValidateToken (GH#756)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Three tests used ValidateAnyToken mock expectations and fallthrough behavior.
Now that HandleConnect uses ValidateToken (token-to-workspace binding), update:

- RejectsUnauthorizedCrossWorkspace: mock expects SELECT id+workspace_id
  (ValidateToken pattern); row returns workspace_id=ws-caller so validation
  passes, then CanCommunicate=false → 403 as before.

- RejectsInvalidToken: add setupTestDB so ValidateToken has a real mock;
  with no ExpectQuery set, the query returns error → 401 Unauthorized
  (was 503 fall-through; 401 is the correct explicit rejection).

- AllowsSiblingWorkspace: add setupTestDB + ValidateToken mock returning
  ws-pm binding; CanCommunicate=true → Docker nil → 503 as before.

Subject: [PATCH 4/8] fix(a2a-queue): use partial-index ON CONFLICT syntax (not
 constraint name)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

#1892's EnqueueA2A INSERT used `ON CONFLICT ON CONSTRAINT idx_a2a_queue_idempotency
DO NOTHING`, but Postgres rejects this:

  ERROR: constraint "idx_a2a_queue_idempotency" for table "a2a_queue" does not exist

Partial unique INDEXES cannot be referenced by name in ON CONFLICT — that
form is reserved for true CONSTRAINTs created via CREATE TABLE ... CONSTRAINT
or ALTER TABLE ADD CONSTRAINT. Partial indexes need the column-list +
WHERE form so the planner can match the index.

Effect of the bug: every EnqueueA2A errored, the busy-error fallback
returned 503 instead of 202, queue stayed empty. Cycle 50 observed
46 busy errors / 0 queue rows — the deployed Phase 1 had no effect.

Fix: switch to

  ON CONFLICT (workspace_id, idempotency_key)
    WHERE idempotency_key IS NOT NULL AND status IN ('queued','dispatched')
    DO NOTHING

Verified manually against the live `a2a_queue` table on staging — INSERT
returns the new id; cleanup deleted the test row.

Subject: [PATCH 6/8] fix(canvas/config): load runtime+model from workspace
 metadata + hide misleading config.yaml error for hermes
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Canvas Config tab had 3 bugs visible on hermes workspaces (#1894):

1. Runtime dropdown showed "LangGraph (default)" even when the workspace's
   actual runtime was hermes — because the form only loaded runtime from
   config.yaml, and hermes doesn't use the platform's config.yaml template.
2. Model field was empty for the same reason.
3. "No config.yaml found" error appeared on hermes workspaces despite
   everything being fine — hermes manages its own config at
   ~/.hermes/config.yaml on the workspace host.

Worse, clicking Save with the empty form would silently flip `runtime`
back from `hermes` to `LangGraph (default)`.

## Fix

- loadConfig now always fetches workspace metadata (runtime + model)
  via GET /workspaces/:id and GET /workspaces/:id/model BEFORE attempting
  the config.yaml fetch. These act as the source of truth for runtime
  and model when config.yaml doesn't set them.
- RUNTIMES_WITH_OWN_CONFIG set lists runtimes that manage their own
  config outside the platform template (hermes, external). For these:
  - Missing config.yaml is NOT an error — no red banner shown.
  - An informational gray banner tells the user where to edit the
    runtime's config (e.g. "edit ~/.hermes/config.yaml via Terminal tab
    or the hermes CLI" for hermes).

Closes #1894.

Verified 2026-04-23 on user's hongmingwang tenant which runs hermes.

Subject: [PATCH 7/8] fix(ci): handle both module path formats in coverage-gate
 path-strip

The sed stripping only handled platform/workspace-server/... paths, but
go tool cover may emit platform/internal/... paths (without workspace-server/).
When the pattern doesn't match, rel retains the full package import path and
the allowlist grep -qxF fails to find the short entry (e.g. internal/handlers/tokens.go).

Add a second substitution to strip the platform/ prefix as a fallback so
both path formats normalize to the same allowlist-relative form.

Subject: [PATCH 8/8] fix(a2a-queue): nil-safe drain + 202-requeue handling
 (followup to #1893) (#1896)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

* fix(a2a-queue): nil-safe error extraction in DrainQueueForWorkspace + handle 202-requeue

The drain path called proxyErr.Response["error"].(string) without a comma-
ok assertion. When proxyErr.Response had no "error" key (which happens in
the 202-Accepted-queued branch I added in the same PR — that response is
{"queued": true, "queue_id": ..., "queue_depth": ...}), the type assertion
panicked and killed the platform process.

The platform was down 25 minutes today before this was diagnosed. Fleet
went from 30 real outputs/15min → 0 events.

Two fixes here:

1. Treat 202 Accepted from the inner proxyA2ARequest as "re-queued"
   (target was busy AGAIN). Mark THIS attempt completed; the new queue
   row will be drained on the next heartbeat tick. Don't propagate as
   failure.

2. Defensive type-assertion when reading the error string. Falls back to
   http.StatusText, then a generic "unknown drain dispatch error" so the
   queue still gets a non-empty error_detail for ops debugging.

Now the drain path can never panic on a malformed proxy response.

* fix(a2a-queue): return (202, body, nil) so callers see queued-as-success

Cycle 53 found callers logging 45× 'delegation failed: proxy a2a error'
even though the queue's drain stats showed 48 completions in the same
window. Investigation: my busy-error path returned

  return http.StatusAccepted, nil, &proxyA2AError{Status: 202, Response: ...}

The non-nil proxyA2AError is the failure signal. Even with status=202,
callers' `if proxyErr != nil` branch fires and logs the request as
failed. The 202 status was meaningless — the response body was nil too,
so the caller never even saw the queue_id/depth metadata.

Fix: return success-shape so callers do NOT enter the error branch:

  respBody, _ := json.Marshal(gin.H{"queued": true, "queue_id": qid, ...})
  return http.StatusAccepted, respBody, nil

Net effect: queue continues to absorb busy-errors (working since #1893),
AND callers correctly record the dispatch as queued-success rather than
failed. Closes the cycle 53 misclassification that was making the queue
look ineffective on activity_logs counts.
