test(handlers): add org_scope coverage — orgRootID + sameOrg at 0% (#1953 )

Adds 10 sqlmock-backed tests covering the cross-tenant isolation helpers introduced in #1953. Covered: - orgRootID: happy path (child→root), workspace-is-root, no rows, DB error, empty root string - sameOrg: identical IDs (short-circuit), same org root, different org roots, orgRootID fails, orgRootID not found Closes #1953 follow-up (test debt) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
test(handlers): add PatchAbilities coverage — workspace_abilities.go at 0%

+#
+# The canonical provider-registry SSOT is molecule-controlplane

+# copy. RED if they differ — meaning the canonical moved and core's copy must be
+# re-synced (copy verbatim + `go generate ./...` + bump
+# canonicalProvidersYAMLSHA256 in sync_canonical_test.go).
+#
+# Pairs with:
+#   * sync_canonical_test.go — hermetic sha pin (catches a hand-edit of core's

+# P2-A, CTO 2026-05-27 "Distribution = SDK via codegen + verify-CI").
+#
+# The canonical schema SSOT is molecule-controlplane
+# internal/providers/providers.yaml. molecule-core carries a SYNCED COPY at
+# workspace-server/internal/providers/providers.yaml (kept in sync by the
+# companion sync-providers-yaml.yml gate), and cmd/gen-providers emits the
+# checked-in Go projection workspace-server/internal/providers/gen/registry_gen.go.
+#
+# This workflow regenerates the artifact into the working tree and fails RED if
+# it differs from what is committed — catching BOTH:
+#   * a providers.yaml (synced-copy) change that wasn't followed by `go generate ./...`, and
+#   * a hand-edit of the generated artifact (it carries a DO NOT EDIT header).
+#
+# It is the molecule-core mirror of molecule-controlplane's verify-providers-gen
+# workflow. Together with sync-providers-yaml (canonical↔synced-copy drift) it
+# closes the codegen-checked-into-each-repo + verify-CI loop the RFC mandates.
+#
+# ENFORCEMENT GATING (deliberate, per dev-SOP "implementation gating"):
+# this is a STANDALONE workflow, NOT a job inside ci.yml, and is NOT yet in any
+# branch-protection status_check_contexts. Rationale (identical to the CP P0
+# rollout):
+#   * It runs + reports RED on every PR/push immediately (visible signal).
+#   * It is intentionally absent from ci.yml's job set so the ci-required-drift
+#     sentinel (jobs ↔ branch-protection ↔ audit-env) does NOT fire on it, and
+#     from branch protection (turning it into a hard merge gate has blast radius
+#     — operator GO required, same pattern as sop-tier-check / verify-providers-gen
+#     on controlplane). Promote it into branch protection in a follow-up once
+#     P2 has soaked.
+# Until then it behaves like secret-scan / block-internal-paths: a standalone
+# advisory-to-hard gate the author is expected to keep green.

-// agent does internally. Without this UI, a fresh signup whose Hermes
-// workspace defaults to a model with no clean vendor prefix (e.g.

-//   "No LLM provider configured. Run `hermes model` to select a

-// — even though tasks #195-198 wired the entire downstream pipe so a
-// non-empty provider WOULD flow through canvas → workspace-server →
-// CP user-data → workspace config.yaml → hermes adapter.
+// This 574-line suite exercised the canvas-side LLM provider override
+// flow: load the existing override from GET /workspaces/:id/provider,
+// edit the dropdown, Save → PUT /workspaces/:id/provider, and the
+// provider→billing_mode linkage on Save. All three server endpoints
+// behind those flows are retired in internal#718 P4 closure:
