-    # Three properties of this job each close a failure mode:
+    # 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
+    # required commit-status contexts for this SHA and fails if any fail, skip,
+    # or never emit.
    #
-    #  1. `if: always()` — runs even when an upstream fails. Without it the
-    #     sentinel is `skipped` and protection treats that as missing → merge
-    #     ungated.
+    # canvas-deploy-reminder is intentionally NOT included in all-required.needs.
+    # It is an informational main-push reminder, not a PR quality gate. Keeping
+    # it in this dependency list lets a skipped reminder skip the required
+    # sentinel before the `always()` guard can emit a branch-protection status.
    #
-    #  2. Assertion is `result == "success"` per dep, NOT `!= "failure"`.
-    #     A `skipped` upstream (job gated by `if:` evaluating false, matrix
-    #     entry that couldn't run) must NOT silently pass through.
-    #     `skipped`-as-green is exactly the failure mode this gate closes.
-    #
-    #  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
-    #     `feedback_never_admin_merge_bypass`, separate PR); a new job is
-    #     added simply by listing it in `needs:` here.
-    #     `.gitea/workflows/ci-required-drift.yml` files a [ci-drift] issue
-    #     hourly if this list diverges from status_check_contexts or from
-    #     audit-force-merge.yml's REQUIRED_CHECKS env (RFC §4 + §6).
-    #
-    # canvas-deploy-reminder IS now included in all-required.needs (mc#958 root-fix):
-    # added job-level `if: github.ref == 'refs/heads/main'` so ci-required-drift.py's
-    # ci_job_names() detects it as github.ref-gated and skips it from F1.
-    # The step-level `if: ... || REF_NAME != refs/heads/main` exits 0 when not main,
-    # so the job succeeds (not skipped) on non-main pushes — sentinel treats as green.
-    #
-    # Phase 3 (RFC #219 §1) safety: underlying build jobs carry
-    # continue-on-error: true so their failures are masked to null (2026-05-12: re-enabled mc#774 interim)
-    # (Gitea suppresses status reporting for CoE jobs). This sentinel
-    # runs with continue-on-error: false so it always reports its
-    # result to the API — without this, the required-status entry
-    # (CI / all-required (pull_request)) is never created, which
-    # blocks PR merges. When Phase 3 ends, flip underlying jobs to
-    # continue-on-error: false; this sentinel can then be flipped to

+
+# 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).
+#   - 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)`
+# — same non-required-by-design decision as the staging job (red until
+# Hermes-401 #162 / OpenClaw-never-online #165 land; flip-to-required
+# tracked at molecule-core#1296). It is an HONEST gate: NO
+# continue-on-error mask (feedback_fix_root_not_symptom). It is kept a
+# distinct context (not folded into e2e-api.yml's required `E2E API
+# Smoke Test`) precisely so a deliberately-RED-today gate cannot wedge
+# the required local-E2E job or any unrelated merge.

-# Auto-refresh prod tenant EC2s after every main merge.
-#
-# Why this workflow exists: publish-workspace-server-image builds and
-# pushes a new platform-tenant :<sha> to ECR on every merge to main,
-# but running tenants pulled their image once at boot and never re-pull.
-# Users see stale code indefinitely.
-#
-# This workflow closes the gap by calling the control-plane admin
-# endpoint that performs a canary-first, batched, health-gated rolling
-# redeploy across every live tenant. Implemented in molecule-ai/
-# molecule-controlplane as POST /cp/admin/tenants/redeploy-fleet
-# (feat/tenant-auto-redeploy, landing alongside this workflow).
-#
-# Registry: ECR (153263036946.dkr.ecr.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/
-# molecule-ai/platform-tenant). GHCR was retired 2026-05-07 during the
-# Gitea suspension migration. The canary-verify.yml promote step now
-# uses the same redeploy-fleet endpoint (fixes the silent-GHCR gap).
-#
-# Runtime ordering:
-#   1. publish-workspace-server-image completes → new :staging-<sha> in ECR.
-#   2. This workflow fires via workflow_run, calls redeploy-fleet with
-#      target_tag=staging-<sha>. No CDN propagation wait needed —
-#      ECR image manifest is consistent immediately after push.
-#   3. Calls redeploy-fleet with canary_slug (if set) and a soak
-#      period. Canary proves the image boots; batches follow.
-#   4. Any failure aborts the rollout and leaves older tenants on the
-#      prior image — safer default than half-and-half state.
-#
-# Rollback path: re-run this workflow with a specific SHA pinned via
-# the workflow_dispatch input. That calls redeploy-fleet with
-# target_tag=<sha>, re-pulling the older image on every tenant.

-# Auto-refresh staging tenant EC2s after every staging-branch merge.
-#
-# Mirror of redeploy-tenants-on-main.yml, with the staging-CP host and
-# the :staging-latest tag. Sister workflow exists for prod (rolls
-# :latest after canary-verify). Both share the same shape — just
-# different CP_URL + target_tag + admin token secret.
-#
-# Why this workflow exists: publish-workspace-server-image now builds
-# on every staging-branch push (PR #2335), pushing
-# platform-tenant:staging-latest to GHCR. Existing tenants pulled
-# their image once at boot and never re-pull, so the new image just
-# sits unused until the tenant is reprovisioned.
-#
-# This workflow closes the gap by calling staging-CP's
-# /cp/admin/tenants/redeploy-fleet, which performs a canary-first,
-# batched, health-gated SSM redeploy across every live staging tenant.
-# Same endpoint shape as prod CP — only the host differs.
-#
-# Runtime ordering:
-#   1. publish-workspace-server-image completes on staging branch →
-#      new :staging-latest in GHCR.
-#   2. This workflow fires via workflow_run, waits 30s for GHCR's CDN
-#      to propagate the new tag.
-#   3. Calls redeploy-fleet with no canary (staging IS canary; we don't
-#      need a sub-canary inside it). Soak still applies to the first
-#      tenant in case of bad-deploy detection.
-#   4. Any failure aborts the rollout and leaves older tenants on the
-#      prior image — safer default than half-and-half state.
-#
-# Rollback path: re-run with workflow_dispatch + target_tag=staging-<sha>
-# of a known-good build.

+ *  `data` through, or a workspace whose runtime field hasn't loaded
+ *  yet) the default is `/configs` — matches today's behaviour, no

+ *
+ *  Note on `/agent-home` pre-Phase-2b: the backend short-circuits
+ *  with HTTP 501 and the canonical "implementation pending" body.
+ *  The tab renders empty + the error banner explains. This is by
+ *  design — lets us land the canvas UX before the backend ships,

+/**
+ * ChatErrorBanner — error-state banner rendered under the chat
+ * message list when an agent turn fails or the workspace is offline.
+ *
+ * internal#212 closes the "see workspace logs for details" pointer-to-
+ * nowhere defect:
+ *
+ *   - The banner now renders the actionable, secret-safe failure
+ *     reason that ws-server places on `ACTIVITY_LOGGED.error_detail`
+ *     (provider HTTP status + error code + provider's own human
+ *     message). The hook (`useChatSocket`) forwards this through
+ *     `onSendError`, which the ChatTab routes into this banner's
+ *     `message` prop. No hardcoded opaque text in this component.
+ *
+ *   - A "View activity log" button navigates the user to the Activity
+ *     tab where the full row (request body, response body, timing,
+ *     full error_detail) lives. Until internal#212, the banner
+ *     mentioned "workspace logs" with no link — there is no separate
+ *     Logs tab in the side panel; the Activity tab IS the workspace-
+ *     logs surface. Routing through the existing tab makes the
+ *     reference real instead of dangling.
+ *
+ *   - The existing Restart button (shown only when the workspace is
+ *     offline) is preserved unchanged so the recovery affordance the
+ *     old banner offered does not regress.
+ *
+ * Pure presentational — no socket subscription, no state machine. Easy
+ * to unit-test in isolation and easy to compose into the ChatTab.
