-
-Rule
-----
-For a given protected branch, every context in
-`branch_protections/<branch>.status_check_contexts` MUST be emitted
-by at least one workflow in `.gitea/workflows/*.yml`. Two contexts
-match when:
-
-  1. The workflow's `name:` equals the context's workflow-part (the
-     prefix before ` / `).
-  2. Some job in that workflow has a `name:` (or default-fallback
-     job-key) equal to the context's job-part (between ` / ` and
-     ` (`).
-  3. The workflow's `on:` block includes the context's event-part
-     (in parens at the end), with Gitea's event-name mapping:
-        - `pull_request` and `pull_request_target` BOTH emit
-          `(pull_request)` contexts (verified empirically on
-          molecule-core/main).
-        - `push` emits `(push)`.
-
-A BP context with no emitter blocks merges forever — Gitea treats
-absent-as-`pending`, NOT absent-as-`skipped`-as-`success`. This is
-the phantom-required-check class
-(`feedback_phantom_required_check_after_gitea_migration`).
-
-The inverse direction (emitter without BP context) is INFORMATIONAL
-only — Tier 2g handles that direction at PR-time. Flagging it here
-on a daily schedule would falsely surface every transitional state
-during a BP rollout.
-
-How the gate works
-------------------
-Daily scheduled run + workflow_dispatch:
-
-  1. GET `branch_protections/{BRANCH}` (needs DRIFT_BOT_TOKEN with
-     repo-admin scope; same persona as ci-required-drift.yml).
-     Graceful-degrade on 403/404 per Tier 2a contract.
-
-  2. Walk `.gitea/workflows/*.yml` via PyYAML AST. For each workflow,
-     enumerate its emitted contexts: `{workflow.name} / {job.name or
-     job-key} ({event})` for each event in `on:` that emits a status.
-
-  3. For each BP context, look for an emitter match. Aggregate
-     orphans.
-
-  4. If orphans exist:
-     - File or PATCH a `[ci-bp-drift]` issue (idempotency contract:
-       search for exact title prefix, edit existing if open).
-     - Apply labels `tier:high` + `ci-bp-drift` (lookup IDs per
-       repo; per `feedback_tier_label_ids_are_per_repo`).
-     - Exit 1.
-
-  5. If no orphans:
-     - Close any existing `[ci-bp-drift]` issue with a clean-state
-       comment.
-     - Exit 0.
-
-Exit codes
-----------
-  0 — clean OR API 403/404 (graceful-degrade, surfaces ::error::).
-  1 — at least one BP context has no emitter.
-  2 — env contract violation, workflows-dir missing, or YAML parse
-      error.

-
-Rule
-----
-When a PR adds a NEW commit-status emission (a context that didn't
-exist on the base side), the workflow file must carry one of three
-directive comments adjacent to the new job:
-
-  (a) `# bp-required: yes`
-      The new context MUST already be in
-      `branch_protections/<branch>.status_check_contexts`. Verified
-      via Gitea API at PR time.
-
-  (b) `# bp-required: pending #NNN`
-      Acknowledged asymmetry; references an OPEN tracking issue that
-      will follow up with the BP PATCH.
-
-  (c) `# bp-exempt: <free-text reason>`
-      Informational job, not intended to be a required gate.
-
-No directive on a new emitter → FAIL with a 3-option fix-hint.
-
-The class this prevents
------------------------
-PR#656 added `CI / all-required (pull_request)` as a sentinel context
-that workflows emit, but BP did NOT list it. When `platform-build`
-failed, `all-required` failed, but BP let the PR merge anyway →
-cascade to mc#664. With this lint, PR#656 would have been blocked
-until either the BP PATCH ran alongside OR the author added a
-`bp-required: pending` directive.
-
-Why directives MUST live in the workflow YAML
----------------------------------------------
-The directive comment lives with the emitter so a scheduled
-audit (Tier 2f, daily) can read the same source. PR-body-only
-directives invisibly evaporate on merge — the asymmetry would
-return to undetected. PR-body claims are advisory; workflow-file
-comments are the contract.
-
-How "new emission" is detected
-------------------------------
-Diff base..head over `.gitea/workflows/*.yml`. For each YAML file
-that's added or modified:
-  - Parse both base-side and head-side via PyYAML AST.
-  - Enumerate emitted contexts on each side using the same rules as
-    Tier 2f (workflow.name + job.name|key + event-mapping).
-  - `new_contexts = head_contexts - base_contexts`.
-
-If `new_contexts` is empty after de-dup, no rule applies → pass.
-
-Per `feedback_behavior_based_ast_gates`: comment scanning uses raw
-text in a small window around the job-key line, NOT regex over the
-full file. This avoids matching `bp-required:` mentioned in a
-comment unrelated to the new job.
-
-Exit codes
-----------
-  0 — no new emissions, all new emissions have valid directives,
-      or BP read errored (graceful-degrade per Tier 2a contract).
-  1 — at least one new emission lacks a directive, or has
-      `bp-required: yes` but the context is missing from BP.
-  2 — env contract violation or YAML parse error.

+# RFC#351 Step 2 of 6 — implementation MVP. Tests cover:
+#   - slug normalization (the 4 example variants in the script header)
+#   - parse_directives (ack, revoke, with/without note, mid-comment, etc.)
+#   - section_marker_present (empty answer rejected, filled answer ok)
+#   - compute_ack_state (self-ack rejected, team probe applied, revoke
+#     invalidates own prior ack, peer's ack survives unrevoked)
+#   - render_status (state + description format)
+#   - get_tier_mode (label-driven, default fallback)
+#   - load_config (default config parses cleanly with both PyYAML and
+#     the bundled minimal parser)
+#
+# All tests run WITHOUT touching the Gitea API — the team-probe
+# callable is dependency-injected.

-# 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.

-    # 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).
+    # Three properties of this job each close a failure mode:

-    # NEW shape: a plain `needs:` aggregator with NO polling loop. This is

-    # because every aggregated CI job now gates its real work PER-STEP
-    # (`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.
+    #  1. `if: always()` — runs even when an upstream fails. Without it the
+    #     sentinel is `skipped` and protection treats that as missing → merge
+    #     ungated.

-    # The `needs:` list MUST stay in lockstep with ci-required-drift.py's
-    # F1 check (`ci_job_names()` = every job MINUS the sentinel MINUS jobs
-    # whose `if:` gates on github.event_name/github.ref). canvas-deploy-
-    # reminder is event-gated (`if: github.ref == refs/heads/{main,staging}`)
-    # so it is intentionally EXCLUDED — it skips on PRs and a `needs:` on a
-    # skipped job would never let the sentinel run. If a new always-running
-    # CI job is added, add it here too or ci-required-drift F1 will flag it.

+    #     `skipped`-as-green is exactly the failure mode this gate closes.
     #
-    # Stays on the dedicated `ci-meta` lane (no docker work, so the
-    # docker-host-pin lint does not apply), but now the job is sub-second:
-    # it only inspects already-settled `needs.*.result` values, so it frees
-    # the slot immediately instead of holding it for the whole CI duration.
+    #  3. `needs:` is the canonical list of "what counts as required."
+    #     status_check_contexts will reference only `ci/all-required` (Step 5
+    #     follow-up — branch-protection PATCH is Owners-tier per

-name: E2E Peer Visibility (literal MCP list_peers)
-
-# WHY A DEDICATED WORKFLOW (not folded into e2e-staging-saas.yml)
-# --------------------------------------------------------------
-# This is the systemic fix for a real trust failure. Hermes and OpenClaw
-# were reported "fleet-verified / cascade-complete" because the *proxy*
-# signals were green (registry registration + heartbeat for Hermes; model
-# round-trip 200 for OpenClaw). A freshly-provisioned workspace asked on
-# canvas "can you see your peers" actually FAILS:
-#   - Hermes: 401 on the molecule MCP `list_peers` call
-#   - OpenClaw: native `sessions_list` fallback, sees no platform peers
-# Tasks #142/#159 were even marked "completed" under this proxy flaw.
-#
-# A dedicated workflow (vs extending e2e-staging-saas.yml) because:
-#   - It must provision MULTIPLE distinct runtimes (hermes, openclaw,
-#     claude-code) in ONE org and assert each sees the others. The
-#     full-saas script is single-runtime-per-run (E2E_RUNTIME) and folding
-#     a multi-runtime matrix into it would conflate concerns and bloat its
-#     already-45-min run.
-#   - It needs its own concurrency group so it doesn't fight full-saas /
-#     canvas for the staging org-creation quota.
-#   - It needs an independent, non-required status-context name so it can
-#     be RED today (the in-flight Hermes-401 / OpenClaw-MCP-wiring fixes
-#     have not landed) WITHOUT wedging unrelated merges — and flipped to
-#     REQUIRED in one branch-protection edit once it goes green
-#     (flip-to-required checklist: molecule-core#1296).
-#
-# THE ASSERTION IS NOT A PROXY. The driving script
-# tests/e2e/test_peer_visibility_mcp_staging.sh issues the byte-for-byte
-# JSON-RPC `tools/call name=list_peers` envelope to `POST
-# /workspaces/:id/mcp` using each workspace's OWN bearer token, through
-# the real WorkspaceAuth + MCPRateLimiter middleware chain — the exact
-# call mcp_molecule_list_peers makes from a canvas agent. It does NOT
-# read a registry row, /health, the heartbeat table, or
-# GET /registry/:id/peers.
-#
-# HONEST GATE — NO continue-on-error. Per feedback_fix_root_not_symptom a
-# fake-green mask would defeat the entire purpose. This workflow goes red
-# on today's broken behavior and green only when the root-cause fixes
-# actually land. It is intentionally NOT in branch_protections — see PR
-# body for the required-vs-not decision + flip tracking issue.
-#
-# Gitea 1.22.6 / act_runner notes honored:
-#   - No cross-repo `uses:` (feedback_gitea_cross_repo_uses_blocked). The
-#     actions/checkout SHA is the one e2e-staging-canvas.yml already uses
-#     successfully (a mirrored SHA — see #1277/PR#1292 root-cause).
-#   - 2026-05-21 retrigger: verify fresh platform-tenant image after the
-#     publish Buildx DOCKER_CONFIG fix restored staging-latest image updates.
-#   - Per-SHA concurrency, not global (feedback_concurrency_group_per_sha).
-#   - Workflow-level GITHUB_SERVER_URL pinned
-#     (feedback_act_runner_github_server_url).
-#   - pr-validate posts a status under the same check name so a
-#     workflow-only PR is not silently statusless and the context is
-#     flip-to-required-ready (mirrors e2e-staging-saas.yml's proven shape;
-#     real EC2-provisioning E2E is push/dispatch/cron only — it is 30+ min
-#     and cannot run per-PR-update).
-#
-# LOCAL BACKEND (added 2026-05-15 — feedback_local_must_mimic_production,
-# feedback_mandatory_local_e2e_before_ship, feedback_local_test_before_
-# staging_e2e)
-# --------------------------------------------------------------------
-# The standing rule is that the local prod-mimic stack runs a MANDATORY
-# local-Postgres E2E BEFORE staging E2E. A staging-only peer-visibility
-# gate caught regressions late + expensively (cold EC2). The
-# `peer-visibility-local` job below runs the SAME byte-identical
-# assertion (tests/e2e/lib/peer_visibility_assert.sh) against the local
-# docker-compose stack — built + booted exactly like e2e-api.yml's
-# proven E2E API Smoke Test job (ephemeral pg/redis ports, go build,
-# background platform-server). It runs on PR + push (local boot is
-# minutes, not the 30+ min cold-EC2 path), so peer-visibility is part of
-# the local gate that fires before the staging E2E.
-#
-# It is its OWN non-required status context `E2E Peer Visibility (local)`.
-# The local backend uses external-mode workspaces by default so it tests
-# the literal platform MCP list_peers path without depending on local
-# template container boot/heartbeat. Container-mode runtime boot remains
-# available via PV_LOCAL_PROVISION_MODE=container for targeted debugging.

-# Tier 2f scheduled lint (per mc#1982) — detects drift between
-# `branch_protections/<branch>.status_check_contexts` and the set of
-# contexts emitted by `.gitea/workflows/*.yml`.
-#
-# Rule
-# ----
-# For each protected branch context (Source A — BP), there must exist
-# at least one emitting workflow + job pair (Source B — workflow YAML
-# + on:-event mapping) whose runtime status-name maps to it. The
-# inverse direction (emitter without BP context) is informational
-# only — Tier 2g handles that at PR-time.
-#
-# Why this exists
-# ---------------
-# A BP-required context with no emitter blocks merges forever — Gitea
-# 1.22.6 treats absent-as-`pending`, NOT absent-as-`skipped`. The
-# phantom-required-check class previously surfaced as
-# `feedback_phantom_required_check_after_gitea_migration` (a port
-# kept the GitHub context name after rename to Gitea, but no
-# workflow emitted under the new name).
-#
-# This lint catches the same class structurally + a forward case:
-# workflow renamed/deleted while still in BP.
-#
-# Scope
-# -----
-# Scheduled daily. We DON'T run on `pull_request` because (a) the
-# emitter side moves with PR diffs (transitional state false-flags)
-# and (b) Tier 2g handles emitter-side drift at PR-time.
-#
-# Cross-repo
-# ----------
-# Today this runs only on molecule-core/main. Per internal#349
-# (cross-repo BP sweep) Class-D repos will get the same lint after
-# their BP rollouts.
-#
-# Auth
-# ----
-# `GET /repos/.../branch_protections/{branch}` requires repo-admin
-# role on Gitea 1.22.6. We use DRIFT_BOT_TOKEN (same persona as
-# ci-required-drift.yml — `internal#329` provisioning trail).
-# Graceful-degrade per Tier 2a contract: 403/404 → exit 0 with
-# ::error::.
-#
-# Idempotency
-# -----------
-# The drift issue is filed with title prefix
-# `[ci-bp-drift] {repo}/{branch}: BP→emitter mismatch`. The script
-# searches OPEN issues for an exact title-prefix match and PATCHes
-# the existing issue (if any) instead of POSTing a duplicate.
-# Mirrors `ci-required-drift.py`'s contract.
-#
-# Phase contract (RFC internal#219 §1 ladder)
-# -------------------------------------------
-# Lands at `continue-on-error: true` (Phase 3). After 7 days of clean
-# scheduled runs on `main`, flip to `false` so a scheduled failure
-# becomes a hard CI signal.

-# Cross-links

-# operator-scope env var NAME (GITEA_TOKEN, CP_ADMIN_API_TOKEN,
-# RAILWAY_TOKEN, INFISICAL_OPERATOR_TOKEN, MOLECULE_OPERATOR_*, …).
-#
-# Catches the class "a new writer accidentally widens the propagation
-# set" — e.g. a future env-mutator plugin that sets envVars["GITEA_TOKEN"]
-# directly. Today the L1 runtime guard would abort the provision, but
-# this lint surfaces the offending code at PR review time instead of
-# at first provision attempt.
-#
-# Companion layers:
-#   - L1: workspace-server/internal/handlers/workspace_provision_forbidden_env.go
-#         (fail-closed abort at provision time)
-#   - L2: workspace/entrypoint.sh top-of-file env-grep + exit 1
-#
-# Open-source-template-friendly: the deny pattern is generic. A fork
-# can copy this workflow and replace OPERATOR_KEY_PATTERN with its
-# own operator-scope key names.
-#
-# Path-filter discipline:
-#   This workflow runs on every PR (no paths: filter — see
-#   feedback_path_filtered_workflow_cant_be_required). The scan itself
-#   targets workspace_secrets-writer paths via grep -r; it's fast
-#   (sub-second) so unconditional run is fine.

-# ── 2026-06-01 CI-scheduler-fanout consolidation (fix/ci-scheduler-fanout) ──
-# The RFC#523 sibling lint formerly in its own file
-# `lint-no-tenant-gitea-token.yml` (the broader "no repo-host token into
-# any tenant-writer surface" scan) is now a SECOND job in THIS workflow
-# (`scan-tenant-token-write`). Both are sub-second Go-source greps that
-# fired as two separate workflow runs on every PR — pure scheduler
-# fan-out. Folding the sibling in here drops one workflow run + one
-# checkout per PR while keeping BOTH scans firing unconditionally on
-# every PR (the no-paths discipline above is preserved — neither job is
-# paths-filtered). The moved job keeps its exact `name:` so its emitted
-# status context is unchanged in substance; its `# bp-exempt:` directive
-# moves with it (Tier 2g). The old `Lint no tenant GITEA or GITHUB token
-# write / …` context is retired (a disappearing context needs no
-# directive; only NEW emitters do).

-# Tier 2g hard-gate lint (per mc#1982) — diff-based PR-time
-# check. When a PR adds a NEW commit-status emission (workflow YAML
-# `name:` + job `name:`-or-key + on:-event), the workflow file must
-# carry one of three directives adjacent to the new job:
-#
-#   - `# bp-required: yes`           — and BP must list the context
-#   - `# bp-required: pending #NNN`  — acknowledged asymmetry + tracker
-#   - `# bp-exempt: <reason>`        — informational job, not a gate
-#
-# Default (no directive on a new emitter) = FAIL.
-#
-# Why this exists
-# ---------------
-# PR#656 added `CI / all-required (pull_request)` as a sentinel
-# context that workflows emit, but BP did NOT list it. When
-# platform-build failed, all-required failed, but BP let the PR
-# merge anyway → cascade to mc#1982. With this lint, PR#656 would
-# have been blocked until either the BP PATCH ran alongside OR
-# the author added a `bp-required: pending` directive.
-#
-# Tier 2g vs Tier 2f
-# ------------------
-# Tier 2g runs at PR-time (diff-based) and BLOCKS the merge.
-# Tier 2f runs daily (scheduled) and FILES a drift issue. They
-# share the workflow-context enumeration helpers
-# (`_event_map`, `workflow_contexts`, `_job_display`) but the
-# semantics are intentionally distinct so they're separate scripts.
-# Co-design is documented in mc#1982.
-#
-# Directive comment lives in the workflow file (NOT PR body)
-# ----------------------------------------------------------
-# A PR-body claim of "BP exempt" evaporates on merge — the
-# asymmetry returns to undetected state and Tier 2f's daily
-# scheduled audit can't see it. The directive must live with the
-# emitter so both PR-time (Tier 2g) and post-merge (Tier 2f)
-# readers consume the same source.
-#
-# Phase contract (RFC internal#219 §1 ladder)
-# -------------------------------------------
-# Lands at `continue-on-error: true` (Phase 3 — surface the
-# pattern without blocking PRs while the directive convention
-# beds in). After 7 days of clean runs on `main` with no false
-# positives, follow-up flips to `false`. Tracking: mc#1982.

-# Runner label mapping (2026-05-22 fix): the actual Mac mini runner
-# registered in this Gitea ships labels
-#   ["self-hosted","macos-self-hosted-arm64","arm64-darwin"]
-# — no plain `arm64`. The earlier `runs-on: [self-hosted, arm64]`
-# could not match any registered runner so every fire of this workflow
-# was assigned task_id=0 / runner_id=NULL → Gitea cancelled it. The
-# rows showed up as Cancelled in the action status feed (not Failed)
-# but the lane never actually ran. Workflow now selects on
-# `arm64-darwin` which is the canonical Mac-arm64 label per the
-# Mac mini's registration (per internal#494 capability-honest labels).
-#
-# If we later want to add a Linux-arm64 runner to the same lane, add
-# both labels to that runner's registration AND broaden the selector
-# here — don't rename `arm64-darwin` (it's Mac-specific by design and

+#   because PYPI_TOKEN was absent (publishes would have failed anyway).

+#   Split design:

+#     - publish-runtime-autobump.yml: on.push.branches+paths   (this file — the version-bumper)
+#
+#   This file computes the next version from PyPI's latest, pushes a
+#   `runtime-v$VERSION` tag, and exits. The tag push then triggers
+#   publish-runtime.yml via its tags-only trigger.
+#
+# Concurrency: shares the `publish-runtime` group with publish-runtime.yml
+# so concurrent workspace pushes serialize at the bump step. Without
+# this, two pushes minutes apart could both read PyPI latest=0.1.129
+# and try to tag 0.1.130 simultaneously, only one of which would land.

+# 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.

+# sop-checklist-gate — peer-ack merge gate for SOP-checklist items.
+#
+# RFC#351 Step 2 of 6 (implementation MVP).
+#
+# === DESIGN ===
+#
+# Goal: each PR must answer 7 SOP-checklist questions in its body,
+# and each item must have at least one /sop-ack <slug> comment from
+# a non-author peer in the required team. BP requires the
+# `sop-checklist / all-items-acked (pull_request)` status to merge.
+#
+# Triggers:
+#   - `pull_request_target`: opened, edited, synchronize, reopened
+#       → fires when PR opens, body is edited (refire — RFC#351 §4),
+#         or new code is pushed (head.sha changes → stale status would
+#         be auto-discarded by BP via dismiss_stale_reviews, but the
+#         status itself is per-SHA so we re-post on the new head).
+#   - `issue_comment`: created, edited, deleted
+#       → fires on any new comment so /sop-ack / /sop-revoke take
+#         effect immediately (Gitea 1.22.6 doesn't refire on
+#         pull_request_review per feedback_pull_request_review_no_refire,
+#         so issue_comment is the canonical refire channel).
+#
+# Trust boundary (mirrors RFC#324 §A4 + sop-tier-check security note):
+#   `pull_request_target` (not `pull_request`) — workflow def is loaded
+#   from BASE branch, so a PR cannot rewrite this workflow to exfiltrate
+#   the token. The `actions/checkout` step pins `ref: base.sha` so the
+#   script ALSO comes from BASE. PR-HEAD code is never executed in the
+#   runner.
+#
+# Token scope:
+#   - read:repository, read:organization for PR + comments + team probes
+#   - write:repository for POST /statuses/{sha}
+#   - The token owner MUST be a member of every team referenced by the
+#     config's required_teams (else /teams/{id}/members/{login} returns
+#     403 — see review-check.sh same-gotcha doc). For the MVP we use
+#     the dev-lead token (a member of engineers, managers, qa, security)
+#     via a repo secret `SOP_CHECKLIST_GATE_TOKEN`. Provisioning of that
+#     secret is a follow-up authorization step (separate from this PR).
+#
+# Failure mode: tier-aware (RFC#351 open question 2):
+#   - tier:high   → state=failure (hard-fail; BP blocks merge)

+#       — slug accepts kebab-case, snake_case, or natural-spaces

+#       — numeric 1..7 maps via config.items[*].numeric_alias.

-# sop-checklist — peer-ack merge gate for SOP-checklist items.
-#
-# RFC#351 Step 2 of 6 (implementation MVP).
-#
-# === CONSOLIDATION (issue #1280) ===
-#
-# This workflow is the SINGLE `issue_comment` subscriber — the logic from
-# `review-refire-comments.yml` has been merged in. Before this change:
-#   - sop-checklist.yml (pre-2026-05-16) → issue_comment:[created,edited,deleted] → runner slot used, job no-oped
-#   - review-refire-comments.yml           → issue_comment:[created]            → runner slot used, job no-oped
-#   → every non-refire comment occupied 2 runner slots for ~800 s each
-#      (~650 no-op runs/day, ~1,300 runner-slot-occupancy-hours/day).
-#
-# Fix (PR #1345 / issue #1280):
-#   - ONE workflow, ONE issue_comment:[created] subscription (no edited/deleted)
-#   - all-items-acked job: pull_request_target OR sop slash-command comments
-#   - review-refire job: qa/security/tier refire slash commands
-#   → ~50% reduction in comment-triggered runner occupancy vs pre-fix.

+# Runs the canary smoke suite against the staging canary tenant fleet
+# after a new :staging-<sha> image lands in ECR. On green, calls the
+# CP redeploy-fleet endpoint to promote :staging-<sha> → :latest so
+# the prod tenant fleet's 5-minute auto-updater picks up the verified
+# digest. On red, :latest stays on the prior known-good digest and
+# prod is untouched.
+#
+# Registry note (2026-05-10): This workflow previously used GHCR
+# (ghcr.io/molecule-ai/platform-tenant) — that registry was retired
+# during the 2026-05-06 Gitea suspension migration when publish-
+# workspace-server-image.yml switched to the operator's ECR org
+# (153263036946.dkr.ecr.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/molecule-ai/
+# platform-tenant). The GHCR → ECR migration was never applied to
+# this file, so canary-verify was silently smoke-testing the stale
+# GHCR image while the actual staging/prod tenants ran the ECR image.
+# Result: smoke tests could not catch a broken ECR build. Fix:
+#   - Wait step: reads SHA from running canary /health (tenant-
+#     agnostic, works regardless of registry).
+#   - Promote step: calls CP redeploy-fleet endpoint with target_tag=
+#     staging-<sha>, same mechanism as redeploy-tenants-on-main.yml.
+#     No longer attempts GHCR crane ops.
+#
+# Dependencies:
+#   - publish-workspace-server-image.yml publishes :staging-<sha>
+#     to ECR on staging and main merges.
+#   - Canary tenants are configured to pull :staging-<sha> from ECR
+#     (TENANT_IMAGE env set to the ECR :staging-<sha> tag).
+#   - Repo secrets CANARY_TENANT_URLS / CANARY_ADMIN_TOKENS /
+#     CANARY_CP_SHARED_SECRET are populated.

+# Hard gate (#2342): cron-driven full-lifecycle E2E that catches
+# regressions visible only at runtime — schema drift, deployment-pipeline
+# gaps, vendor outages, env-var rotations, DNS / CF / Railway side-effects.
+#
+# Why this gate exists:
+#   PR-time CI catches code-level regressions but not deployment-time or
+#   integration-time ones. Today's empirical data:
+#     • #2345 (A2A v0.2 silent drop) — passed all unit tests, broke at
+#       JSON-RPC parse layer between sender and receiver. Visible only
+#       to a sender exercising the full path.
+#     • RFC #2312 chat upload — landed on staging-branch but never
+#       reached staging tenants because publish-workspace-server-image
+#       was main-only. Caught by manual dogfooding hours after deploy.
+#   Both would have surfaced within 15-20 min of regression if a
+#   continuous synth-E2E was running.
+#
+# Cadence: every 20 min (3x/hour). The script is conservatively
+# bounded at 10 min wall-clock; even on degraded staging it should
+# finish before the next firing. cron-overlap is guarded by the
+# concurrency group below.
+#
+# Cost: ~3 runs/hour × 5-10 min × $0.008/min GHA = ~$0.50-$1/day.
+# Plus a fresh tenant provisioned + torn down each run (Railway +
+# AWS pennies). Negligible.
+#
+# Failure handling: when the run fails, the workflow exits non-zero
+# and GitHub's standard email/notification path fires. Operators
+# can subscribe to this workflow's failure channel for paging-grade
+# alerting.

+  schedule:
+    # Every 10 minutes, on :02 :12 :22 :32 :42 :52. Three constraints:
+    #   1. Stay off the top-of-hour. GitHub Actions scheduler drops
+    #      :00 firings under high load (own docs:
+    #      https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/events-that-trigger-workflows#schedule).
+    #      Prior history: cron was '0,20,40' (2026-05-02) — only :00
+    #      ever survived. Bumped to '10,30,50' (2026-05-03) on the
+    #      theory that further-from-:00 wins. Empirically 2026-05-04
+    #      that ALSO dropped to ~60 min effective cadence (only ~1
+    #      schedule fire per hour — see molecule-core#2726). Detection
+    #      latency was claimed 20 min, actual 60 min.
+    #   2. Avoid colliding with the existing :15 sweep-cf-orphans
+    #      and :45 sweep-cf-tunnels — both hit the CF API and we
+    #      don't want to fight for rate-limit tokens.
+    #   3. Avoid the :30 heavy slot (canary-staging /30, sweep-aws-
+    #      secrets, sweep-stale-e2e-orgs every :15) — multiple
+    #      overlapping cron registrations on the same minute is part
+    #      of what GH drops under load.
+    # Solution: bump fires-per-hour 3 → 6 AND keep all slots in clean
+    # lanes (1-3 min away from any other cron). Even with empirically-
+    # observed ~67% GH drop ratio, 6 attempts/hour yields ~2 effective
+    # fires = ~30 min cadence; closer to the 20-min target than the
+    # current shape and provides a real degradation alarm if drops
