API routes return JSON and never need 'unsafe-inline' or 'unsafe-eval'.
Serving those directives globally defeated the purpose of CSP and gave
false security assurance. Canvas-proxied routes (NoRoute → Next.js) keep
'unsafe-inline' because React hydration requires it; 'unsafe-eval' was
already absent and is confirmed unnecessary in production builds.
Implementation:
- Add isAPIPath() helper with an explicit prefix allowlist that mirrors
the routes registered in router/router.go
- Strict "default-src 'self'" on all /workspaces, /registry, /health,
/admin, /metrics, /settings, /bundles, /org, /templates, /plugins,
/webhooks, /channels, /ws, /events, /approvals paths
- Permissive CSP (unsafe-inline, no unsafe-eval) on canvas/NoRoute paths
- 4 new test functions: TestCSPAPIRoutesGetStrictPolicy (covers every
prefix + sub-path), TestCSPCanvasRoutesGetPermissivePolicy, and
TestIsAPIPath unit test including substring-non-match guard
Resolves#450

When the user sets template="hermes", surface a provider dropdown
(15 providers, defaulting to anthropic) and a masked API key input.
On submit the chosen key is sent as `secrets: { [ENV_VAR]: key }` so
the backend can persist it encrypted before the container boots,
fixing the silent preflight failure reported in #493.
- Adds HERMES_PROVIDERS constant (exported for tests)
- Validates API key presence before POST when template is hermes
- Uses violet accent to visually distinguish the hermes section
- 11 new unit tests covering picker visibility, default, env-var
mapping, validation, and POST payload shape

CRLF line endings in .claude hook files caused claude-code SessionStart
hooks to fail silently on Windows checkouts — python3 received a filename
ending in '\r' (e.g. 'session-start-context.py\r'), failed with ENOENT,
and the claude-code query short-circuited with result='' across every
A2A call. Observed symptom: all 22 agents returned '(no response
generated)' on every pulse despite the model never being called
(input_tokens=0, output_tokens=0).
Existing *.sh rule covered the shebang line; adding *.py covers the
Python hook target that the shell script invokes. Shipped alongside
the same fix in molecule-ai-plugin-molecule-session-context (which
is the primary source of these hooks via the platform plugin loader).
Fixes#507

Integrates github.com/Molecule-AI/molecule-ai-plugin-github-app-auth.
When GITHUB_APP_ID is set, the platform constructs a plugin
Authenticator at boot and registers it as an EnvMutator on the
WorkspaceHandler. Every workspace provision then gets a fresh
GITHUB_TOKEN / GH_TOKEN injected from the App's installation token
(rotates ~hourly, refresh 5 min before expiry).
Verified live this turn:
- Platform boot log: `github-app-auth: registered, 1 mutator(s) in chain`
- `docker exec ws-<id> gh auth status` → `Logged in as molecule-ai[bot] (GH_TOKEN)`
- `gh issue list --repo Molecule-AI/molecule-core` returns real data
(Hermes #498/#499/#500 visible from inside a workspace container)
## Changes
- platform/go.mod + go.sum: new dep on the plugin
- platform/cmd/server/main.go: import + conditional registration
(soft-skip when GITHUB_APP_ID is unset for self-hosted/dev)
- docker-compose.yml: pass GITHUB_APP_* env + bind-mount private key
## Drive-by
.gitignore: exclude /org-templates /plugins /workspace-configs-templates
— these dirs are populated locally by clone-manifest.sh from the
standalone repos, should never be committed to core. Without this rule
my previous git add -A staged 33 embedded git dirs.

No env vars to configure. The platform auto-detects the backend:
MOLECULE_ORG_ID set → SaaS tenant → control plane provisioner
MOLECULE_ORG_ID empty → self-hosted → Docker provisioner
The control plane URL defaults to https://api.moleculesai.app (override
with CP_PROVISION_URL for testing). No FLY_API_TOKEN on the tenant.
Removed: direct Fly provisioner (FlyProvisioner) — all SaaS workspace
provisioning goes through the control plane which holds the Fly token
and manages billing, quotas, and cleanup.
Two backends: CPProvisioner (SaaS) and Docker Provisioner (self-hosted).
Closes#494

PATCH /workspaces/:id field-level auth for parent_id/tier/runtime
required a bearer token, blocking canvas nesting (drag-to-nest).
Added IsSameOriginCanvas check so the tenant canvas can update
sensitive fields without a bearer.
Exported IsSameOriginCanvas from middleware package so workspace.go
can call it for the field-level auth path.
DELETE /workspaces/:id is behind AdminAuth which already has the
same-origin check — if delete still fails, it's a different issue.

When CONTAINER_BACKEND=flyio, workspaces are provisioned as Fly Machines
instead of local Docker containers. This enables workspace deployment
on SaaS tenants where no Docker daemon is available.
New files:
- provisioner/fly_provisioner.go: FlyProvisioner with Start/Stop/
IsRunning/Restart/Close via Fly Machines API (api.machines.dev/v1)
- FlyRuntimeImages maps runtimes to GHCR image tags
Changes:
- main.go: select Docker vs Fly based on CONTAINER_BACKEND env var
- workspace.go: SetFlyProvisioner() setter, Create checks flyProv first
- workspace_provision.go: provisionWorkspaceFly() loads secrets, calls
FlyProvisioner.Start, issues auth token for the new machine
Env vars for Fly backend:
- CONTAINER_BACKEND=flyio (activates Fly provisioner)
- FLY_API_TOKEN (Fly deploy token)
- FLY_WORKSPACE_APP (Fly app name for workspace machines)
- FLY_REGION (default: ord)
Closes#494

1. Settings panel: wire TokensTab into "API Tokens" tab (was imported
but not rendered). Rename "API Keys" → "Secrets", add "API Tokens"
tab. Fix docs link → doc.moleculesai.app/docs/tokens.
2. Referer match hardening: require exact host match or trailing slash
to prevent evil.com subdomain bypass. Cache CANVAS_PROXY_URL at
init time instead of per-request os.Getenv.
3. Extract shared deriveWsBaseUrl() to lib/ws-url.ts — eliminates
duplicate 12-line derivation in socket.ts and TerminalTab.tsx.
4. Token list pagination: add ?limit= and ?offset= params (default
50, max 200) to GET /workspaces/:id/tokens.
507/507 canvas tests pass, Go build + vet clean.

WorkspaceAuth only accepted bearer tokens, blocking the canvas from
calling per-workspace routes (restart, config, secrets, chat) on the
tenant image where canvas + API share the same origin.
Added isSameOriginCanvas() fallback (same check used by AdminAuth):
checks Referer matches request Host, gated behind CANVAS_PROXY_URL
so only tenant deployments are affected.

The publish workflow was pushing platform/Dockerfile (Go-only) to the
Fly registry, but tenant machines run the combined image (Go + Canvas
reverse proxy). This caused "canvas unavailable" after machine update.
Changes:
- Fly registry build: platform/Dockerfile → platform/Dockerfile.tenant
- GHCR: keeps Go-only image (for self-hosted/dev use)
- Path triggers: add canvas/** and manifest.json (tenant image includes both)

Six prior PRs (#273, #319, #322, #341, #484, #486) all kept calling
`docker login` and tried to coerce credsStore via increasingly elaborate
config tricks. None worked. The latest publish-canvas-image and
publish-platform-image runs on main are still failing with:
error storing credentials - err: exit status 1,
out: `User interaction is not allowed. (-25308)`
Verified locally on the runner host (2026-04-16): `docker login` on
macOS unconditionally writes credentials to osxkeychain after a
successful login, regardless of the config presented to it.
# I wrote this:
{ "auths": {}, "credsStore": "", "credHelpers": {} }
# After `docker login --config <dir> ghcr.io ...` succeeded:
{
"auths": { "ghcr.io": {} }, # empty — auth is in Keychain
"credsStore": "osxkeychain" # Docker rewrote it back
}
So `--config` flag, DOCKER_CONFIG env var, credsStore="" etc. all share
the same fate: Docker re-enables osxkeychain after every successful
login. The Mac mini runner is a launchd user agent with a locked
Keychain, so storage fails with -25308.
This PR replaces the `docker login` invocation entirely. We write
`base64(user:pat)` directly into the disposable DOCKER_CONFIG's `auths`
map. `docker/build-push-action@v5` and the daemon honor the auths map
for push without ever calling `docker login`, so the Keychain is never
involved.
Same shape in both workflows:
- publish-canvas-image.yml — single registry (ghcr.io)
- publish-platform-image.yml — two registries (ghcr.io + registry.fly.io)
Fly username remains literal "x".
Security:
- Token env vars never echoed. Heredoc writes the auth blob via
`umask 077` (file mode 600). The temp config dir lives under
RUNNER_TEMP and is reaped at job end.
- Diagnostics preserved (docker version + binary ls + registry keys
only, no values) so future runner permission regressions remain
visible without leaking secrets.
Equivalent to closed PR #464 — re-opening because main is still
broken (verified by inspecting the most recent failure). The closing
comment on #464 stated the issue was already addressed by #341, but
it isn't.
- Mark Phase 30.1 (auth tokens) as shipped
- Update hard-problem A (spoofing) from blocker → resolved
- Cross-reference new guides: external-agent-registration, token-management, mcp-server-setup
- Update last-reviewed date

docker/login-action@v3 ignores DOCKER_CONFIG and still tries the
macOS system keychain on the self-hosted runner, producing:
error storing credentials: User interaction is not allowed. (-25308)
Switch to `docker login ... --password-stdin` which respects
DOCKER_CONFIG and writes credentials to the per-run config.json
we created in the isolate step. Applied to both GHCR and Fly
registry logins in both publish workflows.

Two bugs on the combined tenant image (canvas + API same-origin):
1. WebSocket URL: NEXT_PUBLIC_WS_URL="" (empty string for same-origin)
was preserved by ?? operator, producing an invalid WS URL. Now derives
from window.location when both env vars are empty. Same fix applied
to TerminalTab.
2. AdminAuth blocking canvas: same-origin requests have no Origin header,
so neither AdminAuth nor CanvasOrBearer could authenticate the canvas.
Added isSameOriginCanvas() that checks Referer against request Host,
gated behind CANVAS_PROXY_URL (only active on tenant image). This
lets the canvas create/list workspaces, view events, etc. without a
bearer token when served from the same Go process.

The heredoc block writing Docker config.json had unindented `{` at
column 1, which GitHub Actions' YAML parser interpreted as a flow
mapping start — causing every publish-platform-image and
publish-canvas-image run to fail with 0 jobs (startup_failure).
Replace `cat <<'JSON' ... JSON` with a single `printf` call that
produces identical config.json content without confusing the parser.

Two adjacent fixes that surfaced trying to bring the molecule-dev org
template back up against the new standalone workspace-template-* repos.
1) handlers/org.go — expand ${VAR} in workspace_dir before validation.
The molecule-dev pm/workspace.yaml (and any operator's per-host
binding) ships `workspace_dir: ${WORKSPACE_DIR}` so each operator
can pick the host path PM bind-mounts. Without expansion the literal
"${WORKSPACE_DIR}" string reaches validateWorkspaceDir and fails with
"must be an absolute path", aborting the whole org import.
Other fields (channel config, prompts) already go through expandWithEnv;
workspace_dir was the last hold-out.
2) provisioner/provisioner.go — inject PYTHONPATH=/app for every
workspace container. Standalone template Dockerfiles COPY adapter.py
to /app and set ENV ADAPTER_MODULE=adapter, but molecule-runtime is
a pip console_script entry point so cwd isn't on sys.path
automatically. Setting PYTHONPATH here fixes every adapter image at
once instead of needing 8 PRs against template repos. Operator
override still wins (workspace EnvVars are appended after, so Docker
takes the later duplicate).
Note: this unblocks the import path but does NOT make claude-code /
hermes / etc. boot. The runtime itself has a separate top-level
`from adapters import` that breaks against modular templates —
tracked at workspace-runtime#1.
Tests: TestBuildContainerEnv_InjectsPYTHONPATH +
TestBuildContainerEnv_WorkspaceEnvVarsCanOverridePYTHONPATH lock the
default + operator-override invariants. expandWithEnv is already covered
by TestExpandWithEnv_* — the workspace_dir use site is a one-line call
to that primitive.
