- *    `~/.openclaw/` inside the container, which `/agent-home` maps to
- *    via the Phase 2b docker-exec backend).

- *    → `/configs` (the legacy default — managed config that flows
- *    through the per-runtime indirection in
- *    workspace-server/internal/handlers/template_files_eic.go).
- *
- *  When the runtime is undefined (legacy callers that don't thread
- *  `data` through, or a workspace whose runtime field hasn't loaded
- *  yet) the default is `/configs` — matches today's behaviour, no
- *  surprise.
- *
- *  Note on `/agent-home` pre-Phase-2b: the backend short-circuits
- *  with HTTP 501 and the canonical "implementation pending" body.
- *  The tab renders empty + the error banner explains. This is by
- *  design — lets us land the canvas UX before the backend ships,
- *  per the RFC's phased rollout. The 501 is graceful: it doesn't
- *  poison error toasts or generate "workspace not found" noise.

-# E2E test: workspace broadcast and talk-to-user platform abilities.
-#
-# What this proves:
-#   1. talk_to_user_enabled (default true) — POST /notify works out-of-the-box.
-#   2. PATCH /workspaces/:id/abilities { talk_to_user_enabled: false } disables
-#      delivery: /notify → 403 with error="talk_to_user_disabled" + delegate hint.
-#   3. Re-enabling talk_to_user_enabled restores delivery.
-#   4. broadcast_enabled (default false) — POST /broadcast → 403 when disabled.
-#   5. PATCH { broadcast_enabled: true } enables fan-out.
-#   6. POST /broadcast delivers to all non-sender, non-removed workspaces:
-#      - Returns {"status":"sent","delivered":N}
-#      - Receiver's activity log has a broadcast_receive entry with the message.
-#      - Sender's activity log has a broadcast_sent entry.
-#   7. The sender itself does NOT receive a broadcast_receive entry.
-#
-# Usage:  tests/e2e/test_workspace_abilities_e2e.sh
-# Prereqs: workspace-server on http://localhost:8080, MOLECULE_ENV != production

-// internal#497 / RFC#497 fail-closed (SURGICAL scope): the *specific*
-// failure mode that hid the ce2db75f regression for 5 days is now
-// propagated instead of silently swallowed — a CONTEXT error
-// (context.Canceled / context.DeadlineExceeded). Under ce2db75f the
-// detached delegation goroutine ran on a cancelled request context, every
-// `SELECT delivery_mode` failed `context canceled`, this function returned
-// push, the poll-mode short-circuit in proxyA2ARequest was skipped, and
-// poll-mode peers (e.g. an operator laptop on molecule-mcp-claude-channel)
-// silently never got their a2a_receive inbox row. A transient,
-// systematic-once-triggered context cancellation became permanent
-// invisible misrouting. Returning that error lets the caller fail loud
-// (mark the delegation failed) instead of mis-dispatching.
-//
-// Scope is deliberately narrow: only ctx errors propagate. Other DB
-// errors retain the long-standing documented "fall back to push (today's
-// synchronous behavior)" contract — that path is loud + recoverable
-// (502 / SSRF reject / restart), unlike the silent poll-mode drop, and
-// the surrounding proxy (incl. the sibling checkWorkspaceBudget) is
-// intentionally built around that fail-open-to-push behavior. Widening
-// further is an RFC#497 follow-up, not part of this P0 fix.
-//
-// A genuinely *absent* configuration is NOT an error and still resolves to
-// push (the safe synchronous default): sql.ErrNoRows, a NULL/empty column,
-// or an unrecognised value all return (push, nil).
+// lookupDeliveryMode returns the workspace's delivery_mode. On any DB
+// error or missing row it returns DeliveryModePush — the fail-closed
+// default. "Closed" here means "fall back to today's behavior (synchronous
+// dispatch)" rather than "fall back to drop the request silently into
+// activity_logs where the agent might never see it." A poll-mode workspace
+// that briefly reads as push will get its A2A request dispatched to the
+// stored URL (or a 502 if no URL); a push-mode workspace that briefly
+// reads as poll would get its request silently queued with no dispatch.
+// The first failure is loud + recoverable; the second is silent.
 //
 // The function is intentionally lookup-only — it never mutates the row.
 // The register handler (registry.go) is the only writer for delivery_mode.
 //
 // See #2339 PR 1 for the column + register-flow side; this is the
 // proxy-side read used for the short-circuit in proxyA2ARequest.

-// agent-card identity gap.
-//
-// Root cause: the runtime builds its AgentCard from config.name
-// (workspace/main.py:198), and config.name is read from the
-// CP-regenerated /configs/config.yaml whose `name:` field is the raw
-// workspace UUID — NOT the friendly name the operator sees. The friendly
-// name IS captured: POST /workspaces and PATCH /workspaces/:id (the
-// canvas Details tab) write it to the trusted workspaces.name DB column.
-// But /registry/register stores the runtime-supplied card verbatim
-// (registry.go: `agent_card = EXCLUDED.agent_card`), so the stored card
-// served at /.well-known/agent-card.json and returned to peers via
-// agent_card_url ends up with name = UUID, description = "", role = null.
-//
-// Fix shape (deliberately minimal, no contract weakening): when the
-// runtime-supplied card's `name` is empty or equals the workspace UUID
-// (the placeholder the runtime had no better value for), the PLATFORM —
-// not the agent — substitutes the friendly value from the trusted
-// workspaces row. Identity stays platform-controlled: the agent never
-// gains the ability to self-set its own name/role; the platform sources
-// it from the operator-controlled DB column. We only ever FILL gaps
-// (empty / UUID-placeholder); a card that already carries a real
-// friendly name is never downgraded.
-//
-// list_peers / the /registry/:id/peers endpoint already resolve display
-// names from workspaces.name directly (discovery.go / mcp_tools.go
-// `SELECT w.id, w.name, ...`), so peer_name in delivered message tags
-// was already correct — this fix closes the remaining surface: the
-// agent_card blob itself (canvas Agent Card / Skills view, peer
-// agent_card_url fetches, the well-known card).
-//
-// description / role degrade discovery the same way: an empty
-// description and null role give peers nothing to reason about. We
-// default description from the (now reconciled) name when blank and
-// role from workspaces.role when the operator set one.
