fix(canvas): external/MCP workspace progress UX — surface poll-mode queued state (task #227)

Canvas had no progress indicator when the user sent a message to a
poll-mode (external/MCP) workspace — e.g. an operator's laptop running
`molecule-mcp-claude-channel`, a hermes/codex MCP bridge, or a Cursor
MCP client. The user saw their bubble, a ~50ms spinner, then dead
silence until the eventual reply landed via the AGENT_MESSAGE WS event
(which could be seconds or minutes later, depending on poll cadence).
The native push-path runtimes (claude-code/codex/hermes/openclaw) had
a "thinking…" indicator + per-tool activity stream the whole time —
external workspaces had nothing.

Empirical divergence point:
ws-server's `proxyA2ARequest` poll-mode short-circuit
(a2a_proxy.go:402-432) returns `{status:"queued", delivery_mode:"poll",
method:"message/send"}` synchronously when the target has no URL. The
`logA2AReceiveQueued` path DOES fire an `ACTIVITY_LOGGED` `a2a_receive`
event — but with `status="ok"` and NO `duration_ms`. Canvas's
`useChatSocket.ts` guard `if (status === "ok" && durationMs)` silently
dropped the row. Meanwhile `useChatSend.ts` `.then(resp)` ran
`extractReplyText({status:"queued"})` -> "" -> no agent bubble created
-> `releaseSendGuards()` collapsed the spinner.

This is NOT the RFC#497 envelope-handling problem (that's inbound-side
identity-attribution for the receiving agent). #227 is purely the
canvas-side outbound progress UX. RFC#497 work remains useful but
separate.

Fix (frontend-only — the backend already emits the right signals):

  1. Plumb `delivery_mode` from the GET /workspaces response into
     `WorkspaceNodeData.deliveryMode` so the UI can introspect.
  2. `useChatSocket`: detect `a2a_receive status=ok` with NO
     `duration_ms` as the "queued for poll" signal — emit a
     "⧗ <peer> queued — agent will pick up on next poll" activity line
     so the in-flight spinner shows useful sub-text instead of just
     "Processing…".
  3. `useChatSend`: on a `{status:"queued"}` response, return early
     BEFORE `releaseSendGuards()` — the spinner persists until the
     real `AGENT_MESSAGE` lands (existing useChatSocket
     onAgentMessage/onSendComplete path handles the eventual release).
     No synthetic empty agent bubble.
  4. `AgentCommsPanel.WaitingBubbles`: extend the per-peer "typing"
     indicator to also light on delegation `status="dispatched"` —
     that's the platform's marker for a poll-mode delegation written
     to the peer's inbox but not yet picked up. Distinct copy
     ("Queued — <peer> will pick up on next poll") so the user can
     tell push-pending from poll-queued.

Tests:
- useChatSocket: 2 new tests pin the queued-line emission AND that
  `onSendComplete` is NOT called on the queued path (spinner persists).
- useChatSend: new file (4 tests) covering: (a) no empty agent bubble
  on queued-200, (b) `sending` stays true post-queued, (c) defense
  against accidental late release via microtask flush, (d) push-mode
  non-regression — real reply parts still flip sending=false +
  create the agent bubble.

Verified: all 67 tests pass in the touched test files
(useChatSocket.test.tsx 6, useChatSend.pollMode.test.tsx 4,
AgentCommsPanel.render.test.tsx + AgentCommsPanel.test.ts 55 from a
prior count, canvas-topology.test.ts 3). Typecheck clean on all
touched files (`tsc --noEmit`).

Closes task #227 (UX tracker, user-reported 2 days ago).
Related: internal#497 (RFC, envelope handling — separate concern,
inbound-side identity attribution for the receiving agent).

-# ci-arm64-advisory — Mac arm64 self-hosted ADVISORY fast-check lane.
-#
-# === WHY ===
-#
-# The amd64 Gitea runner pool (molecule-runner-1..20) is queue-contended
-# (internal#418). This lane offloads the *genuinely container-independent*
-# fast checks (Go build/vet/lint, shellcheck, Python lint) onto the Mac
-# arm64 self-hosted runner so developers get a fast arm64 signal WITHOUT
-# adding load to the starved amd64 pool — capability-honestly, as an
-# additive pilot. Pilot ② of the Mac-CI strategy (CTO-delegated 2026-05-17).
-#
-# === NON-NEGOTIABLE SAFETY CONTRACT (the prime directive) ===
-#
-# This lane is **ADVISORY ONLY**. It is provably incapable of hanging a
-# merge. Concretely:
-#
-#   1. It is a SEPARATE workflow file. `ci.yml` is byte-for-byte
-#      untouched by this PR. The `CI / all-required` aggregator sentinel
-#      and the five contexts it polls
-#      (`CI / Detect changes|Platform (Go)|Canvas (Next.js)|
-#      Shellcheck (E2E scripts)|Python Lint & Test (pull_request)`)
-#      are unchanged. The canonical required gate stays 100% on the
-#      existing amd64 pool.
-#
-#   2. The context this workflow emits is
-#      `ci-arm64-advisory / fast-checks (pull_request)`. That string is
-#      DELIBERATELY NOT present in, and this PR does NOT add it to:
-#        - branch_protections/{main,staging}.status_check_contexts
-#          (DB-verified pb 86/75 = exactly
-#           ["CI / all-required (pull_request)",
-#            "sop-checklist / all-items-acked (pull_request)"])
-#        - audit-force-merge.yml REQUIRED_CHECKS env
-#        - ci.yml `all-required` sentinel's hardcoded `required[]` list
-#      Branch protection therefore never waits on this context. If the
-#      Mac runner is absent / offline / removed, this workflow's status
-#      simply never appears — and because nothing requires it, every
-#      merge proceeds exactly as it does today. There is no path by
-#      which a missing/red arm64 status blocks a merge.
-#
-#   3. `continue-on-error: true` on the job — even a genuine arm64-only
-#      failure (toolchain drift, arch-specific test flake) is surfaced
-#      as information, never as a merge blocker, for the duration of
-#      the pilot.
-#
-#   4. The job carries a `github.event_name` `if:` gate. Beyond its
-#      functional purpose this also keeps the job OUT of
-#      `ci-required-drift.py:ci_job_names()` (which excludes
-#      `github.event_name`/`github.ref`-gated jobs), so the hourly
-#      ci-required-drift sentinel's F1 ("job not under sentinel needs")
-#      cannot ever flag this advisory job. F2/F3 are untouched because
-#      this context is absent from BP and from REQUIRED_CHECKS.
-#      `lint-bp-context-emit-match` only fails on BP→emitter gaps; an
-#      emitter without a BP context is explicitly informational there.
-#
-# === RUNNER TARGETING ===
-#
-# The Mac runner is `hongming-pc-runner-1`. The bare `self-hosted`
-# label is POLLUTED in this Gitea instance: molecule-runner-1..20
-# (the contended amd64 pool) also advertise `self-hosted`. Targeting
-# bare `self-hosted` would route back onto the very pool we are trying
-# to relieve — and onto amd64 hardware. We therefore require an
-# AND-set of labels that ONLY the Mac satisfies. `macos-self-hosted`
-# is Mac-exclusive (the amd64 pool does not carry it). Until the
-# label-install burst (a10862b2) lands `self-hosted`+`macos-self-hosted`
-# on the Mac, the runner's current unique label `hongming-pc-laptop`
-# is also listed; AND-semantics over the labels a runner advertises
-# means a job requiring [self-hosted, macos-self-hosted] can ONLY be
-# claimed once the Mac advertises both. If neither label set is yet
-# present on the Mac, the workflow stays queued harmlessly and is
-# garbage-collected by the normal stale-run reaper — it blocks nothing
-# (see safety contract point 2).
-#
-# === ROLLBACK ===
-#
-# Delete this single file (`git rm .gitea/workflows/ci-arm64-advisory.yml`)
-# and merge. No branch-protection edit, no ci.yml edit, no
-# REQUIRED_CHECKS edit is required to roll back, because none were made
-# to roll forward. Zero blast radius either direction.

-    # `JOB-all-required` containers observed pinning the lane). The polling
-    # design existed only to dodge the Gitea `needs:` + `if: always()` bug,
-    # where an always()-guarded sentinel could be marked skipped before
-    # upstream jobs settled (leaving BP pending forever).
+    # This job deliberately has no `needs:`. Gitea 1.22/act_runner can mark a
+    # job-level `if: always()` + `needs:` sentinel as skipped before upstream
+    # jobs settle, leaving branch protection with a permanent pending
+    # `CI / all-required` context. Instead, this independent sentinel polls the

-    # (`if: needs.changes.outputs.* != 'true'`) rather than at the JOB level.
-    # A per-step-gated job always reaches a terminal SUCCESS (it no-ops its
-    # expensive steps but the job itself still completes), so it is never
-    # `skipped`. Plain `needs:` (WITHOUT `if: always()`) works correctly on
-    # Gitea 1.22.6 / act_runner v0.6.1 — only `needs:` + `if: always()` is
-    # broken (feedback_gitea_needs_works_only_ifalways_broken). We therefore
-    # use plain `needs:` + an explicit per-need result check (NOT
-    # `if: always()`); if any need fails/errors, Gitea never starts this job
-    # and BP sees `CI / all-required` go red via the failed dependency
-    # propagation — exactly the gate we want, with zero runner-squat.

+name: Lint no tenant GITEA or GITHUB token write
+
+# Task #146 — CI guardrail companion to RFC#523's `lint-forbidden-env-keys.yml`.
+#
+# `lint-forbidden-env-keys.yml` (Layer 3) catches code that hardcodes a
+# forbidden env-var key NAME as a quoted literal in workspace_secrets
+# writer paths under workspace-server/internal/.
+#
+# This workflow catches a BROADER class: any code path that reads a
+# repo-host token (GITEA_TOKEN / GITHUB_TOKEN / GH_TOKEN) and then writes
+# it into a TENANT WORKSPACE's env, secret store, user-data, or
+# provision payload. This is the actual RFC#523 threat-model statement —
+# the goal is "no tenant workspace ever receives an operator-scope repo
+# token," not just "no _quoted_ literal `GITEA_TOKEN`." A future writer
+# could route the value via a variable, a struct field, or a config key
+# and slip past the existing literal scan; this lint catches those
+# routing patterns at PR review time.
+#
+# Scope
+#   Scans the WHOLE repo's Go sources (not just workspace-server/) for
+#   co-occurrences of:
+#     - a repo-host token NAME (GITEA_TOKEN / GITHUB_TOKEN / GH_TOKEN /
+#       GITEA_PAT / GITHUB_PAT) used as os.Getenv argument or string
+#       literal
+#     - within a file that ALSO references a tenant-writer surface
+#       (`tenant`, `workspace_secrets`, `global_secrets`, `seedAllowList`,
+#       `/settings/secrets`, `userData`, `provisionPayload`,
+#       `envVars[`, `containerEnv`).
+#
+#   Co-occurrence (not single-line) is the false-positive control: a
+#   file that just LOGS the variable name (e.g. "missing GITEA_TOKEN")
+#   without touching any tenant surface won't fire.
+#
+# Drift contract with lint-forbidden-env-keys.yml
+#   Both lints share the same FORBIDDEN_KEYS list (a subset — only the
+#   repo-host tokens, since this lint's threat model is "tenant gets
+#   write access to operator's git host"). If RFC#523's deny set grows,
+#   update BOTH this file AND lint-forbidden-env-keys.yml AND the Go
+#   source-of-truth in
+#   workspace-server/internal/handlers/workspace_provision_forbidden_env.go.
+#
+# Open-source-template-friendly
+#   The patterns scanned are generic (no MOLECULE_-prefix literals).
+#   A fork can copy this workflow as-is and adjust FORBIDDEN_KEYS.
+#
+# Path-filter discipline

+# Gitea Actions port of .github/workflows/publish-runtime.yml.
+#
+# Ported 2026-05-10 (issue #206). Key differences from the GitHub version:
+#   - Gitea Actions reads .gitea/workflows/, not .github/workflows/
+#   - Dropped `environment: pypi-publish` — Gitea Actions does not support
+#     named environments or OIDC trusted publishers
+#   - Replaced `pypa/gh-action-pypi-publish@release/v1` (OIDC) with
+#     `twine upload` using PYPI_TOKEN secret — same mechanism as a local
+#     `python -m twine upload` with a PyPI token
+#   - Replaced `github.ref_name` (GitHub-only) with `${GITHUB_REF#refs/tags/}`
+#     — Gitea Actions exposes github.ref (the full ref) but not ref_name
+#   - Dropped `merge_group` trigger (Gitea has no merge queue)
+#
+# 2026-05-10 (issue #348): originally restored `staging`/`main` branch +
+# `workspace/**` path-filter trigger in PR #349.
+#
+# 2026-05-11 (issue #351): REVERTED the branches+paths trigger from THIS
+# file. Bundling `paths` with `tags` under a single `on.push` key caused
+# Gitea Actions to never dispatch the workflow for tag-push events (0
+# runs in `action_run` for workflow_id='publish-runtime.yml' since the
+# port, including the runtime-v1.0.0 tag — which is why PyPI is still at
+# 0.1.129 despite a v1.0.0 Gitea tag existing).
+#
+# The auto-bump-on-workspace-edit trigger now lives in
+# `.gitea/workflows/publish-runtime-autobump.yml`. That file computes the
+# next version from PyPI's latest and pushes a `runtime-v$VERSION` tag,
+# which THIS file then picks up via the tags-only trigger below.
+#
+# This decoupling means Gitea's path-vs-tag evaluator never has to
+# disambiguate — each file has a single unambiguous trigger shape.
+#
+# PyPI publishing: requires PYPI_TOKEN repository secret (or org-level secret).
+# Set via: repo Settings → Actions → Variables and Secrets → New Secret.
+# The token should be a PyPI API token scoped to molecule-ai-workspace-runtime.
+#
+# The DISPATCH_TOKEN cascade (git push to template repos) is unchanged —
+# it uses the Gitea API directly and was already Gitea-compatible.

-# 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 ./...`.

-# internal/providers/providers.yaml. molecule-core carries a SYNCED COPY at

-# This workflow regenerates the artifact into the working tree and fails RED if

-#   * 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
