docs(readme): remove duplicate trailing heading

structure.

Addresses review feedback on PR #1837.

-    # PREVIOUS shape: a poll-gate that ran detect-changes then LOOPED on
-    # `GET /commits/{sha}/statuses` every 15s for up to 40 min, occupying a
-    # `ci-meta` executor slot the entire time it waited for upstream jobs.
-    # With only 2 ci-meta runners, that poll-loop squatted half the lane on
-    # every PR — a confirmed throughput sink in the live RCA (two concurrent
-    # `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
+    # required commit-status contexts for this SHA and fails if any fail, skip,
+    # or never emit. It runs the same path detector as `changes` and only waits
+    # for path-relevant jobs; Gitea can otherwise leave needs/output-skipped
+    # jobs permanently pending with "Blocked by required conditions". It runs on
+    # the dedicated `ci-meta` lane so the poller does not occupy the same
+    # general runner pool as the jobs it is waiting for.
     #
-    # NEW shape: a plain `needs:` aggregator with NO polling loop. This is
-    # safe here — and was NOT safe at the time the poller was written —
-    # 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.
+    # 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.

-    # 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.
-    #
-    # Stays on the dedicated `ci-meta` lane (no docker work, so the

-  # The REAL-boot complement to the deterministic unit suite

-  # claude-code workspace on the PLATFORM-managed path — provider=platform,
-  # model=moonshot/kimi-k2.6, NO tenant LLM key — and asserts it reaches
-  # status=online (NOT not_configured) and a completion returns 200, via the same

-  #
-  # Why a SEPARATE job (not a matrix leg of e2e-staging-saas): the platform path
-  # injects NO secret and pins a different model, so its env block diverges from
-  # the BYOK job's. A dedicated job keeps each path's "verify key present" preflight
-  # honest (BYOK requires a key; platform requires its ABSENCE not to matter) and
-  # gives the regression its own named commit-status for branch protection.
-  #
-  # Add `E2E Staging Platform Boot` to branch protection after 3 consecutive
-  # green runs on main (de-flake window; this path shares the cp#245
-  # boot-timeout flake surface the BYOK job has, so it must prove stable before

+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
+#   No `paths:` filter — required-status workflows must run on every PR
+#   per `feedback_path_filtered_workflow_cant_be_required`. Scan is

-      # WHY HERE (promote point), not at build time:
-      #   The platform-tenant ECR `:latest` tag was last moved 2026-05-10
-      #   and went 3.5 weeks stale because the build step only pushes
-      #   :staging-<sha> + :staging-latest and never re-points :latest. A
-      #   no-arg POST /cp/admin/tenants/:slug/redeploy (whose default tag
-      #   fell through to "latest") then pulled the 3.5-week-old image and
-      #   REVERTED the tenant (incident: molecule-adk-demo, 2026-06-03).
-      #
-      #   The defense-in-depth half of this fix changes that redeploy
-      #   default to :staging-latest, but :latest itself must also be
-      #   kept meaningful. We make :latest track the PROD-BLESSED build,
-      #   not the raw build: by living at the end of deploy-production —
-      #   after `wait-ci` (green main CI), the canary-first batched fleet
-      #   rollout, AND the /buildinfo SHA verification — :latest only ever
-      #   advances to a SHA that is actually green and confirmed running
-      #   across the live fleet. So `:latest` == "current prod image",
-      #   and any consumer that pulls :latest (legacy callers, manual
-      #   `docker pull`, a redeploy that somehow still resolves "latest")
-      #   gets the blessed image instead of whatever happened to build.
-      #
-      #   Re-tag is digest-level (imagetools create), so no rebuild and
-      #   :latest is byte-identical to :staging-<sha> for this commit.
-      # Gate on supersede: a superseded older job must NOT move :latest backward
-      # to its older image (#2213 — 275383 promoted :latest → the older

-  // crash / no "Failed to load" toast). It does NOT exercise the agent —
-  // no LLM call is made, the spec even mocks /cp/auth/me and 401→200. All
-  // it needs is a workspace ROW that the canvas lists so the node renders
-  // and the side-panel tabs open. A fully-`online` agent is NOT required.
-  //
-  // That distinction became load-bearing on 2026-06-03: workspace-server
-  // #2162 (fix(provision): platform-managed workspace must fail-closed when
-  // CP proxy env absent) made a platform_managed workspace ABORT AT BOOT
-  // with MISSING_PLATFORM_PROXY when MOLECULE_LLM_BASE_URL /
-  // MOLECULE_LLM_USAGE_TOKEN are not present in the tenant's env. The
-  // canvas E2E creates a bare hermes/gpt-4o workspace, which defaults
-  // closed to platform_managed (workspace_provision.go:~1009), and the
-  // staging tenant does not carry the CP proxy env — so the agent never
-  // starts. Pre-#2162 this same workspace booted credential-less (the bug
-  // #2162 fixed) and the tabs rendered fine; #2162 is a correct production
-  // safety fix, but it surfaced here as `status:"failed", uptime_seconds:0,
-  // last_sample_error:null` — the pre-start credential-abort shape — and the
-  // old hard-throw turned a UI-irrelevant boot skip into a main-red
-  // (core#2199). The agent boot stage is simply not what this test gates.
-  //
-  // So: online is the happy path. A `failed` row that is the PRE-START

-  // AND no last_sample_error) is treated as RENDERABLE — the row exists,
