test(handlers): cover QueueDepth + QueueStatusByID — a2a queue at 0% (#1870)

Adds 6 sqlmock-backed tests covering previously-uncovered queue helpers:

- QueueDepth (a2a_queue.go):
  - Happy path returns correct count
  - Query error returns 0 (fail-open informational)

- QueueStatusByID (a2a_queue_status.go):
  - Happy path with all nullable fields populated
  - No rows → sql.ErrNoRows
  - NULL optionals projected as nil pointers
  - DB error propagated

+# 2026-05-27 "Distribution = SDK via codegen + verify-CI", multi-repo branch:
+# "codegen-checked-into-each-repo + verify-CI").
+#
+# The canonical provider-registry SSOT is molecule-controlplane
+# internal/providers/providers.yaml. molecule-core has NO Go module dependency
+# on controlplane, so instead of importing it we carry a SYNCED COPY at
+# workspace-server/internal/providers/providers.yaml and gate it.
+#
+# This workflow fetches the canonical providers.yaml from controlplane (via the
+# Gitea raw endpoint, read-only) and byte-compares it against core's synced
+# 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
+#     copy even with no network); runs in the normal `go test ./...`.
+#   * verify-providers-gen.yml — artifact ↔ synced-copy drift.
+#
+# ENFORCEMENT GATING: standalone workflow, NOT a job in ci.yml and NOT in
+# branch protection (same soak-then-promote posture as verify-providers-gen).
+# It is intentionally absent from ci.yml's job set so the ci-required-drift
+# sentinel does not fire on it.
+#
+# AUTH: uses AUTO_SYNC_TOKEN (the existing cross-repo read token used to sync
+# template/provider content from sibling repos). If the secret is absent the
+# job emits a clear ::warning:: and exits 0 — the hermetic sha pin in
+# sync_canonical_test.go is the always-on backstop, so a missing cross-repo
+# token degrades to "hand-edit still caught, live canonical drift not caught"
+# rather than a hard red that blocks unrelated PRs.

+#
+# 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.

+// internal#718 P4 closure — ConfigTab.provider.test.tsx is retired.
 //
-// What this pins: a free-text Provider combobox in the Runtime section
-// that lets the operator override the model→provider derivation hermes-
-// agent does internally. Without this UI, a fresh signup whose Hermes
-// workspace defaults to a model with no clean vendor prefix (e.g.
-// `nousresearch/hermes-4-70b`) hits the runtime's own preflight error:
-//   "No LLM provider configured. Run `hermes model` to select a
-//    provider, or run `hermes setup` for first-time configuration."
-// — 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:
 //
-// Hongming Wang hit this on hongming.moleculesai.app at signup
-// 2026-05-01T17:35Z. Backend PRs were green, the gap was the missing
-// UI to set the value.
+//   - workspace-server SetProvider / GetProvider (PUT/GET
+//     /workspaces/:id/provider) → both return 410 Gone with a
+//     PROVIDER_ENDPOINT_RETIRED structured body.
+//   - workspace-server setProviderSecret (the writer into
+//     workspace_secrets.LLM_PROVIDER) — removed; row never written.
+//   - The LLM_PROVIDER workspace_secret itself — migrated away in
+//     20260528000000_drop_llm_provider_workspace_secret.up.sql.
 //
-// Each test pins one invariant. If any fails, the bug is back.
+// ConfigTab still renders the provider dropdown for display (the user
+// can preview the derived provider locally), but Save no longer
+// round-trips the value. The replacement contract is that the provider
+// is DERIVED at every decision point from (runtime, model) via the
+// registry — see internal/providers/derive_provider.go.
+//
+// The original suite's coverage is replaced by:
+//
+//   - workspace-server: TestPutProvider_410Gone +
+//     TestGetProvider_410Gone + TestProviderEndpointGone_BodyShape in
+//     internal/handlers/llm_provider_removal_p4_test.go.
+//   - workspace-server: TestWorkspaceCreate_FirstDeploy_OnlyPersistsMODEL
+//     in internal/handlers/workspace_provision_shared_test.go.
+//   - registry: TestDeriveProvider_RealManifest in
+//     internal/providers/derive_provider_test.go.
+//
+// Restore from git history if any aspect of the legacy LLM_PROVIDER
+// flow needs to be revisited (it should not — the retirement is
+// permanent).

+// "Distribution = SDK via codegen + verify-CI"). It is the byte-for-byte mirror
+// of molecule-controlplane's cmd/gen-providers (the canonical generator). It
+// reads core's SYNCED COPY of the schema — internal/providers/providers.yaml
+// (via the providers loader, so it shares the SAME parse + validation as the
+// runtime) — and emits a checked-in Go artifact:
+//
+//	internal/providers/gen/registry_gen.go
+//
+// The artifact is a deterministic projection of the merged registry: the
+// provider catalog + per-runtime native sets as Go literals, plus the schema
+// version and a content fingerprint. It is core's leaf of the multi-language SDK
+// layer the RFC calls for (Go(CP+core)/TS(canvas)/Python(adapters)).
+//
+// CONTRACT for P2-A (zero behavior change): the generated artifact is
+// checked-in + drift-gated ONLY. NO production code path imports
+// internal/providers/gen — the gen-import-boundary test pins that. P2-B wires
+// the billing/credential decision onto the LOADER (DeriveProvider/IsPlatform),
+// not the raw gen literals. The generator is the build-time half;
+// verify-providers-gen.yml is the CI half that regenerates and fails RED on any

-// derive_provider_drift_test.go — behavior-based AST/text drift gate.
-//
-// Why this exists: PR #2535 introduced a Go port of derive-provider.sh
-// (see deriveProviderFromModelSlug in workspace_provision.go) so the
-// workspace-server can persist LLM_PROVIDER into workspace_secrets at
-// provision time. That created two sources of truth:
-//
-//   1. molecule-ai-workspace-template-hermes/scripts/derive-provider.sh —
-//      runs inside the container at boot, has the final say on which
-//      provider hermes targets (writes ~/.hermes/config.yaml's
-//      model.provider field). The shell script lives in a separate
-//      OSS repo, so we vendor a snapshot at testdata/derive-provider.sh
-//      to keep this gate hermetic.
-//   2. workspace-server/internal/handlers/workspace_provision.go's
-//      deriveProviderFromModelSlug — runs at provision time on the
-//      platform side so LLM_PROVIDER lands in workspace_secrets and
-//      survives Save+Restart.
-//
-// If a future PR adds a new provider prefix to one but not the other,
-// the workspace-server's persisted LLM_PROVIDER silently disagrees
-// with what the container's derive-provider.sh produces. The container
-// wins (it writes the actual config.yaml), so the workspace-server's
-// persisted value becomes stale and misleading without anything
-// flipping red in CI.
-//
-// This gate pins the invariant that the *prefix set* the two functions
-// know about is identical, modulo a small hardcoded acceptedDivergences
-// map for the two intentional differences documented in
-// deriveProviderFromModelSlug's doc comment (nousresearch/* and
-// openai/* both fall back to "openrouter" at provision time because
-// the runtime env that picks "nous" / "custom" isn't available yet).
-//
-// Pattern: the "behavior-based AST gate" from PR #2367 / memory
-// feedback_behavior_based_ast_gates — pin invariants by what a
-// function maps, not by what it's named. Walks the actual Go AST of
-// deriveProviderFromModelSlug's switch statement so a rename or a
-// duplicate function in another file can't sneak past the gate.
-//
-// Task: #242. Companion to the table-driven mapping test in
-// workspace_provision_shared_test.go (TestDeriveProviderFromModelSlug)
-// which pins the *values*; this test pins the *coverage* of the
-// prefix set itself.
-//
-// Hermetic: reads two files (vendored shell script + Go source) from
-// paths relative to the test package directory and parses them
-// in-process. No network, no docker, no DB. The vendored shell script
-// at testdata/derive-provider.sh is a snapshot of the upstream OSS
-// template repo's script — refresh it via the cp command in that file's
-// header when upstream changes.
