test(canvas): add Google ADK to CreateWorkspaceDialog runtime-options assertion

RUNTIME_OPTIONS gained 'Google ADK' but the test's hardcoded expected array
(separate-selectors test) still listed 4 → Canvas (Next.js) CI red (5 vs 4).
Add it in component order (after OpenAI Codex CLI). Caught by comprehensive
pre-merge review — a real regression from this PR's own diff, not the
staging-E2E infra flake.

+# 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.

-// Tests for the provider → llm_billing_mode linkage (internal#703 Gap 2).
+// internal#718 P4 closure — ConfigTab.billingMode.test.tsx is retired.
 //
-// What this pins: when the operator changes the PROVIDER in the Config
-// tab, the workspace's llm_billing_mode must follow — a non-Platform
-// provider sets billing_mode=byok; Platform sets platform_managed. Before
-// this wiring, selecting "Claude Code subscription (OAuth)" or any vendor
-// key wrote the credential env but left billing_mode=platform_managed, so
-// CP kept injecting the platform proxy base URL and the OAuth token /
-// vendor key was never used — BYOK silently no-op'd (the live jrs-auto
-// SEO-Agent symptom in #703).
+// This suite (255 lines, 8 tests) pinned the canvas-side provider →
+// llm_billing_mode linkage from internal#703 Gap 2: when the operator
+// changed the PROVIDER in the Config tab, ConfigTab.handleSave would
+// PUT /admin/workspaces/:id/llm-billing-mode so the platform-vs-byok
+// decision tracked the dropdown.
 //
-// The billing-mode PUT targets the same per-tenant endpoint the LLM
-// Billing section uses: PUT /admin/workspaces/:id/llm-billing-mode with
-// body {mode: "byok" | "platform_managed"}.
+// That linkage is retired together with the LLM_PROVIDER override flow
+// (see ConfigTab.provider.test.tsx retirement note). P2-B (#1972)
+// moved the platform-vs-byok decision to
+// `ResolveLLMBillingModeDerived(runtime, model, authEnv)` in
+// workspace-server — the canvas can no longer override it via the
+// provider dropdown, by design. The runtime+model selection IS the
+// billing-mode selection now.
+//
+// The `/admin/workspaces/:id/llm-billing-mode` endpoint still exists
+// as the operator override surface (`workspaces.llm_billing_mode`
+// column); it is no longer driven by the provider dropdown.
+// Coverage for the derived billing flow lives in

-// Regression tests for ConfigTab Provider override (Option B PR-5).
+// 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

+#
+# WHY THIS LIB EXISTS (molecule-core#1995 / #1994 follow-on):
+# The A2A e2e historically asserted only response SHAPE — e.g.
+# test_a2a_e2e.sh:`check "SEO response has text" '"kind":"text"'`. A fully
+# BROKEN agent returns its error AS a text part:
+#     {"kind":"text","text":"Agent error (Exception) — see workspace logs..."}
+# which STILL matches `"kind":"text"` → the shape check PASSES on a broken
+# agent. That is exactly why the 2026-05-2x drained-key / byok-misroute
+# failures (agents-team PM + reno marketing erroring on every LLM call)
+# sailed through CI. "Channel returns text shape" != "agent actually
+# completed an LLM round-trip".
+#
+# These helpers add three load-bearing gates ON TOP of (never replacing) the
+# existing shape + PONG checks:
+#   1. a2a_assert_real_completion  — deterministic known-answer round-trip
+#      (CONTAINS the expected token AND NOT an error-as-text payload).
+#   2. provider_liveness_matrix    — per-offered-provider cheap completion
+#      probe, providers sourced from the providers.yaml SSOT runtimes block.
+#   3. assert_byok_not_platform_proxy — #1994 regression guard: a
+#      byok-resolving workspace must NOT resolve to platform_managed.
+#
+# Conventions: reuses the host script's fail()/ok()/log() + tenant_call().
+# Source this AFTER those are defined. BASH 4+.

+# Error-as-text trap markers. If the agent's text part contains ANY of

+// "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
+// diff (drift or hand-edit); sync-providers-yaml.yml gates the synced copy
+// against the controlplane canonical.

-// 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.

+//
+// Resolution = the platform model id's NAMESPACE. A platform model id is

+// ids in providers.yaml are namespaced; ZERO are bare — so namespace
+// resolution covers 100% of live proxy traffic.
+//
+// It is DELIBERATELY separate from DeriveProvider:
+//   - DeriveProvider is runtime-SCOPED and speaks the REGISTRY vocabulary
+//     (platform/anthropic-api/kimi-coding/…); for a platform model it returns
+//     `platform` (the proxy ITSELF), which is useless for upstream routing.
+//   - ResolveUpstream is runtime-AGNOSTIC (the proxy serves platform models
+//     across runtimes, with no single runtime) and speaks the proxy's 4-name
+//     UPSTREAM vocabulary — exactly what selects the upstream base URL + key.
+//
+// Resolution (fail-closed; never a silent default):
+//
+//  1. Namespace split: for each separator "/" then ":" (the proxy's loop
+//     order), cut the id. If the prefix token EQUALS some provider entry's
+//     UpstreamVendor, that entry wins: Vendor = its UpstreamVendor, Model = the
+//     SUFFIX. The first separator that yields a known vendor wins ("/" before
+//     ":"), matching the proxy verbatim.
+//  2. Otherwise the id is BARE. Bare ids are VESTIGIAL at the proxy: zero live
+//     platform traffic is bare (every platform model id is namespaced), so the
+//     converged path does NOT resolve them — it returns an error and the proxy
+//     falls back to its documented, retained legacy switch (inferLLMProviderLegacy).
+//     This is INTENTIONAL: P0 tightened bare `kimi-*` to the kimi-coding
+//     gateway in the registry, which is NOT a valid proxy upstream, so routing
+//     bare ids through the shared registry matcher would misroute. Namespace-
+//     only resolution sidesteps that without a moonshot special-case or a new

+// Package providers is the molecule-core SIDE of the LLM provider registry
+// SSOT (internal#718 P2-A, CTO 2026-05-27 "Distribution = SDK via codegen +
+// verify-CI"). It is a load-time mirror of the canonical loader that lives in
+// molecule-controlplane internal/providers — same parse, same validation, same
+// DeriveProvider/IsPlatform/ResolveUpstream API.
+//
+// CANONICAL SSOT = molecule-controlplane internal/providers/providers.yaml.
+// This package embeds a SYNCED COPY of that file (providers.yaml here is a
+// byte-for-byte mirror of the canonical, NOT a second authoring surface). The
+// CTO-decided distribution model for a multi-repo registry is
+// "codegen-checked-into-each-repo + verify-CI": every consumer repo carries the
+// generated projection and a drift gate, so a registry change in CP must be
+// re-synced here (the sync-providers-yaml verify gate goes RED if this copy
+// drifts from the canonical). molecule-core has no Go module dependency on
+// controlplane, so a synced+gated copy is the blessed path (a shared Go module
+// is not viable across the two repos today).
+//
+// P2-A is ADDITIVE, ZERO behavior change (the P0 shape mirrored): the loader +
+// DeriveProvider land here, plus the generated artifact (cmd/gen-providers) and
+// the verify-providers-gen drift gate, but NO production code path imports this
+// package yet. P2-B wires the billing/credential decision onto DeriveProvider.

+# with NO protocol translation (matches the cp#334 "use the native endpoint,
+# don't translate" fix). A catalog provider that appears in NO runtime's
+# native set is over-offer drift: it stays in `providers:` only if another
+# runtime legitimately uses it, otherwise it is the drift this RFC prunes.

+#   openclaw    -> kimi (kimi-coding)
+#
+# Each runtime entry lists native provider NAMES (referencing `providers:`
+# above; Load fails closed on an unknown ref) plus the EXACT model ids that
+# runtime exposes for that provider. Model ids are transcribed verbatim from
+# each runtime template's config.yaml `runtime_config.models` block
+# (git.moleculesai.app/molecule-ai/molecule-ai-workspace-template-<rt>),
