-          This canvas-touching main push triggers `publish-canvas-image`, which now
-          runs an ORDERED, CI-gated deploy (core#2226) — the same shape as the
-          platform's deploy-production:
+          The `publish-canvas-image` workflow is now building a fresh Docker image
+          (`ghcr.io/molecule-ai/canvas:latest`) in the background.
 
-          1. Build → push `molecule-ai/canvas:staging-<sha>` + `:staging-latest`.
-          2. Wait for green main CI on this SHA.
-          3. Promote `:latest` to the verified `:staging-<sha>` by digest.
+          Once it completes (~3–5 min), apply on the host machine with:
+          ```bash
+          cd <runner-workspace>
+          git pull origin main
+          docker compose pull canvas && docker compose up -d canvas
+          ```
 
-          Tenants/hosts pin via `CANVAS_IMAGE_TAG` (default `latest` = the last
-          CI-green build), so a deploy is reproducible — no hand-run
-          `docker compose pull` needed. Watch the run in the canvas publish workflow.
+          If you need to rebuild from local source instead (e.g. testing unreleased
+          changes or a new `NEXT_PUBLIC_*` URL), use:
+          ```bash
+          docker compose build canvas && docker compose up -d canvas

-  # 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

-  # 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

-/**
- * Staging canvas E2E — REAL desktop take-control path (core#2261 "Gap 1").
- *
- * This is the live-e2e gate that the existing staging-tabs.spec.ts does NOT
- * provide. staging-tabs only opens the 13 declared workspace-panel tabs
- * (TAB_IDS at staging-tabs.spec.ts:24-38 — `display` is NOT among them) and
- * asserts they render without a "Failed to load" toast. It never acquires
- * display control, never opens the noVNC WebSocket, and never asserts a
- * framebuffer frame arrives. The companion unit test
- * canvas/src/components/tabs/__tests__/DisplayTab.test.tsx mocks the RFB
- * constructor (vi.mock("@novnc/novnc"), see its lines 8/20-39) so NO real
- * WebSocket is ever opened there either. Result: a broken take-control path
- * (acquire → noVNC WS upgrade → ws-proxy → EIC → websockify → x11vnc → Xvfb)
- * ships GREEN. This spec closes that gap by exercising the REAL wire path
- * end to end against a live, desktop-capable staging workspace.
- *
- * What it asserts (the real path, no mocks):
- *   1. POST /workspaces/<id>/display/control/acquire returns 200 with a
- *      session_url that carries the signed token in its `#token=` fragment
- *      (mirrors workspace_display_control.go:signedDisplaySessionURL).
- *   2. Opening the noVNC WebSocket at session_url with the subprotocols
- *      ["binary", "molecule-display-token.<token>"] (exactly what the canvas
- *      sends — DisplayTab.tsx:339) UPGRADES (onopen fires, readyState===OPEN,
- *      no immediate 1006 abnormal close). A 1006 / 403 means the handshake
- *      failed somewhere in the proxy chain.
- *   3. At least one BINARY framebuffer message arrives on that socket — a
- *      real frame off x11vnc, not just a panel mount. RFB sends a
- *      ProtocolVersion banner ("RFB 003.00x\n") as the first server message,
- *      which proves the upstream VNC server is live behind the EIC tunnel.
- *
- * Auth model (important): the WS upgrade is gated by workspace-server
- * middleware.AdminAuth. A browser WebSocket CANNOT set an Authorization
- * header, so in production the canvas WS upgrade passes AdminAuth via the
- * same-origin-canvas path (wsauth_middleware.go:isSameOriginCanvas, which
- * keys off the Origin header the browser sets automatically on a same-origin
- * WS upgrade). We therefore open the socket from inside the browser page via
- * page.evaluate AFTER navigating to the tenant origin — so the browser sends
- * `Origin: https://<slug>.staging.moleculesai.app`, exactly as production
- * does. The acquire POST (which CAN carry a header) uses the per-tenant admin
- * bearer set on the context. This is the faithful production handshake, not a
- * synthetic one.
- *
- * Gate / cost: this test only runs when STAGING_DISPLAY_WORKSPACE_ID points
- * at a STANDING desktop-capable workspace (compute.display.mode ==
- * "desktop-control"). We deliberately do NOT provision one in the shared
- * staging-setup.ts: a desktop AMI boots in ~12-15 min and would tax the
- * existing tabs harness on every run. Standing that workspace up is a cost
- * item for the CTO (one always-on desktop EC2 on staging). Until that exists,
- * the test SKIPS loud. When the env IS present, any failure in
- * provision/acquire/upgrade is a HARD error — fail-closed, never silently
- * green (no "flaky" disposition: a 1006 names a broken proxy hop).

-/*
- * PROMOTION-READINESS — staging canvas E2E → HARD merge-gate
- * ----------------------------------------------------------
- * NOW RELIABLE (deterministic; these no longer flap on timing):
- *   - Every wait is condition-based (toBeVisible / toHaveAttribute /
- *     expect.poll). There is NO fixed waitForTimeout / sleep in the spec;
- *     the only setTimeout is the bounded poll-interval inside
- *     staging-setup.ts waitFor(), which has a hard deadline.
- *   - Tabs are asserted on REAL settled content (non-empty, non-spinner),
- *     not just "container is visible" — an empty or stuck-loading panel now
- *     fails instead of shipping green.
- *   - The ErrorBoundary ("Something went wrong") is asserted absent at app
- *     hydration AND per tab — a React subtree crash can no longer pass.
- *   - Visible error alerts inside a panel fail non-degraded tabs (was a
- *     weak [role=alert]:has-text("Failed to load")-only check that missed
- *     both other error phrasings and role-less error divs).
- *   - The driven tab list is parity-checked against the live DOM, so a new
- *     SidePanel tab can't ship un-tested and a removed one fails loud.
- *   - Click→activation is confirmed (aria-selected) before asserting the
- *     panel, removing a wrong-panel race.
- *   - The suite is fail-closed: CANVAS_E2E_STAGING=1 with no tenant state
- *     hard-errors (never skips→green); CANVAS_E2E_STAGING unset cleanly
- *     skips (operator did not request staging).
- *
- * STILL BLOCKS PROMOTION-TO-REQUIRED (do NOT flip continue-on-error here —
- * CTO-owned, RFC internal#219 §1):
- *   - INFRA DEPENDENCY: each run provisions a real staging EC2 tenant
- *     (12-20 min cold boot). Required-gate latency + AWS/Cloudflare/CP
- *     availability become merge-blockers. A staging outage would freeze
- *     main even though the code is fine — unacceptable for a required check
- *     until staging has an SLA or this runs against a warm pre-provisioned
- *     pool.
- *   - SHARED-RESOURCE FLAKE SURFACE: TLS/DNS/ACME propagation on a shared
- *     staging zone (staging-setup TLS_TIMEOUT_MS) is outside this repo's
- *     control. Deterministic here ≠ deterministic upstream.
- *   - SECRET DEPENDENCY: CP_STAGING_ADMIN_API_TOKEN must be present on the
- *     runner. The workflow's skip-if-absent (core#2225) keeps a missing
- *     secret from painting red — correct for non-gating, but a REQUIRED
- *     check must instead guarantee the secret is always present, else it
- *     skip-greens the very thing it is supposed to enforce.
- *   - SINGLE-WORKSPACE COVERAGE: one hermes/platform_managed workspace that
- *     does NOT boot an agent on staging (no CP LLM proxy env, workspace-
- *     server #2162). Tabs render, but agent-dependent content paths (live
- *     chat round-trip, traces from a real run) are not exercised.
- *
- * PROMOTION CHECKLIST (when CTO signs off on making this required):
- *   1. Warm pre-provisioned tenant pool OR a staging SLA bounding boot time.
- *   2. Guarantee CP_STAGING_ADMIN_API_TOKEN on the gating runner; turn the
- *      skip-if-absent into a hard error for the required path.
- *   3. Decide whether agent-dependent tabs need a wired LLM proxy on the
- *      staging tenant (covers chat/traces real content) before gating them.

-# Developer SOP — PR review gate auto-fire and stale-head handling
-
-> Last updated: 2026-06-03 (cp#2159 follow-up)
->
-> Applies to: all core-PR authors and reviewers on `molecule-core` and sibling
-> repos using the `qa-review` + `security-review` branch-protection gates.
-
----
-
-## 1. Gitea PR-head workflow-selection rule
-
-**Rule:** For `pull_request_target` and `pull_request_review` events, Gitea
-loads the workflow definition from the **PR's HEAD branch**, not from the
-base (`main`) branch.
-
-This is different from GitHub Actions, where `pull_request_target` always
-loads workflows from the base branch. Gitea's behaviour means:
-
-- A PR that was opened **before** the `pull_request_review` trigger was added
-to `qa-review.yml` / `security-review.yml` will **NOT** auto-fire on review,
-because its HEAD still contains the old workflow YAML (no trigger).
-
-- A PR that was opened **after** the trigger was added (or that has been
-rebased onto a commit containing the trigger) **WILL** auto-fire, because its
-HEAD contains the new workflow YAML.
-
-### Ops implication
-
-| PR head contains `pull_request_review` trigger? | Behaviour on APPROVED review |
-|---|---|
-| **Yes** (cut from current main, or rebased) | Workflows auto-queue, evaluate, and POST the `(pull_request_target)` context automatically. No slash-command needed. |
-| **No** (stale head, opened before #2157) | Nothing fires. Use `/qa-recheck` + `/security-recheck` slash-commands in a PR comment, OR rebase onto current main. |
-
----
-
-## 2. Standard core-PR flow (post-#2157)
-
-```
-1. Author opens PR from a branch based on current main
-   → qa-review + security-review workflows run on pull_request_target
-   → status contexts post (initial eval, usually red until reviews land)
-
-2. Reviewers submit real APPROVED reviews
-   → If PR head has the trigger: workflows AUTO-FIRE on pull_request_review
-   → Contexts flip green (or stay red if reviewer is not in team)
-
-3. [Optional] If contexts did not flip (stale head, event lost, etc.):
-   → Anyone can comment `/qa-recheck` or `/security-recheck`
-   → sop-checklist.yml refires the evaluator (read-only, idempotent)
-
-4. Both qa-review + security-review contexts are green
-   → Plain Do:merge (no force-merge needed)
-```
-
-### Key point
-
-The `/qa-recheck` and `/security-recheck` commands are a **backstop**, not the
-primary path. PRs cut from current main should auto-fire without manual
-intervention.
-
----
-
-## 3. Diagnosing a stale head
-
-If a PR has real team-member APPROVED reviews but the qa/security contexts
-remain red and no workflow run appears on the PR's "Actions" tab for the
-review event, the PR head is likely stale.
-
-### Quick check
-
-```bash
-# From the PR page, look at the head commit SHA, then:
-curl -sS "https://git.moleculesai.app/api/v1/repos/molecule-ai/molecule-core/contents/.gitea/workflows/qa-review.yml?ref=<HEAD_SHA>" \
-  | jq -r '.content' | base64 -d | grep -c 'pull_request_review'
-# 0  → stale head (no trigger in that version of the workflow)
-# >0 → trigger present; auto-fire SHOULD work (if it didn't, file a tracker)
-```
-
-### Automated diagnostic
-
-The test suite includes `test_gate_stale_head_diagnostic.py`, which reports
-"auto-fire impossible for this PR" when the head lacks the trigger. Run it
-in CI or locally with:
-
-```bash
-PR_NUMBER=123 python -m pytest .gitea/scripts/tests/test_gate_stale_head_diagnostic.py -v
-```
-
----
-
-## 4. Rebasing vs. slash-refire
-
-| Approach | When to use | Trade-off |
-|---|---|---|
-| **Rebase onto current main** | PR is genuinely stale (head lacks trigger OR head is far behind main) | Clean history, gets all recent fixes, but requires force-push and re-approval if the branch was protected |
-| **`/qa-recheck` + `/security-recheck`** | PR head is recent but the review event was missed, or you want to avoid rebase churn | Quick, no force-push, but does NOT fix a missing trigger in the head |
-
-**Do not** use slash-refire as a substitute for rebasing a stale head. If the
-workflow YAML in the PR head does not contain `pull_request_review`, no amount
-of rechecking will make auto-fire work.
-
----
-
-## 5. Live-fire verification
-
-The `test_gate_auto_fire_live.py` regression test exercises the full runtime
-path: it submits an APPROVED review to a test PR and polls for the
-`(pull_request_target)` status contexts. It is skipped when no API token is
-available, and is intended to catch runtime non-fire that static structural
-tests (e.g. `test_gate_review_auto_fire.py`) cannot detect.
-
-Run manually with:
-
-```bash
-export GITEA_HOST=git.moleculesai.app
-export GITEA_TOKEN=<your-token>
-export REPO=molecule-ai/molecule-core
-export LIVEFIRE_PR_NUMBER=<test-pr-number>
-python -m pytest .gitea/scripts/tests/test_gate_auto_fire_live.py -v

-# now fail-CLOSED in EVERY environment, dev included. There is NO dev-mode
-# fail-open escape hatch anymore — AdminAuth / WorkspaceAuth / discovery all
-# require a real credential. So local dev must AUTHENTICATE, not run open.
+# For local dev the right posture is the dev-mode escape hatch:
 #
-# The clean way to keep the canvas working locally is to provision a
-# deterministic ADMIN_TOKEN and hand the matching NEXT_PUBLIC_ADMIN_TOKEN to
-# the canvas bundle. The canvas already attaches `Authorization: Bearer
-# $NEXT_PUBLIC_ADMIN_TOKEN` on every platform call (canvas/src/lib/api.ts),
-# and next.config.ts warns if the pair is half-set. We set BOTH here.
+#   MOLECULE_ENV=development AND ADMIN_TOKEN unset
 #
-#   MOLECULE_ENV=development   — dev conveniences (loopback bind, relaxed
-#                                rate limit). NOT an auth lever.
-#   ADMIN_TOKEN=<dev value>    — server-side bearer AdminAuth/WorkspaceAuth
-#                                enforce (Tier-2b). Real credential.
-#   NEXT_PUBLIC_ADMIN_TOKEN    — same value, baked into the canvas bundle so
-#                                the browser sends the matching bearer.
+# That makes middleware.isDevModeFailOpen() return true and lets the
+# canvas keep working without a bearer. Setting ADMIN_TOKEN here
+# would BREAK the canvas (it has no way to read that token in dev).
 #
-# For SaaS the platform is provisioned with a random ADMIN_TOKEN + the
-# canvas image baked with the matching NEXT_PUBLIC_ADMIN_TOKEN, plus
-# MOLECULE_ENV=production. Same shape, stronger secret.
+# For SaaS the platform is provisioned with ADMIN_TOKEN set AND
+# MOLECULE_ENV=production — either one closes the hatch. So the dev
+# mode signal here is safe (it's only active when both other knobs

 #
-# History: this file used to assert the local-dev fail-open escape hatches
-# (GET /workspaces 200 with NO bearer, /workspaces/:id/activity 200 with no
-# bearer) added in fix/quickstart-bugless. Under the CTO "nothing should be
-# fail-open" directive (harden/no-fail-open-auth) those hatches were REMOVED:
-# auth is fail-CLOSED in EVERY environment, local dev included. This suite now
-# pins the inverse contract — bearer-less admin/workspace requests 401, and the
-# SAME requests with the dev ADMIN_TOKEN bearer succeed.
+#   1. GET /workspaces returns 200 with no bearer after tokens exist in
+#      the DB — exercises the AdminAuth Tier-1b dev-mode hatch
+#      (middleware/devmode.go::isDevModeFailOpen).
+#   2. GET /workspaces/:id/activity returns 200 with no bearer — the
+#      same hatch applied to WorkspaceAuth.
+#   3. POST /workspaces/:id/a2a doesn't 502-SSRF on a loopback workspace
+#      URL — exercises handlers/ssrf.go::devModeAllowsLoopback.
+#   4. GET /org/templates returns the curated set populated by
+#      clone-manifest.sh — exercises infra/scripts/setup.sh + the
+#      ListTemplates failure logging in handlers/org.go.
 #
-# What it verifies:
-#   1. GET /workspaces 401s with NO bearer once tokens exist (was: 200 via the
-#      removed AdminAuth Tier-1b dev-mode hatch); 200 WITH the admin bearer.
-#   2. GET /workspaces/:id/activity (and /delegations, /approvals/pending) 401
-#      with no bearer (was: 200 via the WorkspaceAuth hatch); 200 WITH bearer.
-#   3. GET /org/templates returns the curated set populated by clone-manifest.sh
-#      (unauth-readable bootstrap surface — unchanged).
-#
-# Requires: platform running on :8080 with MOLECULE_ENV=development AND
-#           ADMIN_TOKEN set (the dev value), with MOLECULE_ADMIN_TOKEN (or
-#           ADMIN_TOKEN) exported here so the suite can present the bearer.
-#           scripts/dev-start.sh provisions ADMIN_TOKEN locally; the e2e-api CI

-#
-# Every endpoint below is exercised against a runtime=external workspace so NO
-# LLM key is needed. For each we assert the real HTTP contract: the happy path

-# REQUIRE-LIVE (false-green guard, mirrors CP serving-e2e's
-# SERVING_E2E_REQUIRE_LIVE semantics)
-# ------------------------------------------------------------------
-# Without a guard, an env with NO live secrets makes every phase SKIP,
-# leaving PASS=0 FAIL=0 — and the historical `[ "$FAIL" -eq 0 ]` gate
-# exits 0 (GREEN) while validating ZERO runtimes. That made the REQUIRED
-# `E2E API Smoke Test` merge gate pass without exercising a single
-# runtime (false-green).
-#
-# Fix: a real "validated arm" counter (VALIDATED) tracks runtimes that
-# actually ran AND produced a non-error A2A reply. With E2E_REQUIRE_LIVE=1:
-# if zero arms validated, the run exits NON-zero with a loud message.
-# Without it (E2E_REQUIRE_LIVE unset/0), a fully-skipped run stays a LOUD
-# skip + exit 0 for dev convenience.
-#
-# This zero-validated→RED decision is the load-bearing logic. It is factored
-# into evaluate_require_live_gate() (a pure function of $FAIL/$VALIDATED/
-# $E2E_REQUIRE_LIVE, defined before any platform I/O) and is REGRESSION-GATED
-# on every PR by tests/e2e/test_require_live_priority_gate_unit.sh, which
-# sources this file (E2E_PRIORITY_UNIT_SOURCE=1), sets the counters, and
-# asserts the gate's exit code — no platform, no provisioning, no network.
-# So the false-green can't silently come back: a revert of the guard fails CI.
-#
-# CI POSTURE (REQUIRE-LIVE ON — see .gitea/workflows/e2e-api.yml):
-# The live e2e-api job SETS E2E_REQUIRE_LIVE=1. The `mock` arm is the
-# CI-provisionable live-completion arm: it org-imports a mock workspace
-# (→online→canned A2A reply) with NO external secret. The only thing that
-# previously blocked it in CI was admin auth — POST /org/import and POST
-# /admin/workspaces/:id/tokens are AdminAuth-gated, and the job set no admin
-# token, so every admin call 401'd ("admin auth required"). The job now sets
-# ADMIN_TOKEN on the platform AND exports the matching MOLECULE_ADMIN_TOKEN
-# the scripts send, so mock validates end-to-end and VALIDATED>=1 holds on a
-# healthy platform — the REQUIRED `E2E API Smoke Test` gate now HONESTLY
-# validates a runtime. If the mock plumbing or the admin-auth wiring breaks,
-# the gate goes RED (not false-green). The zero-validated→RED decision is also
-# regression-gated WITHOUT provisioning by the bash unit test above, so a
-# revert of that logic still fails CI.
-#
-# LIVE ARMS (run when their prerequisite is present; opportunistic):
-#   - `mock` (run_mock) is the no-key REQUIRE-LIVE backbone: a virtual
-#     workspace (no container, no EC2, no provider) whose org-import path
-#     short-circuits to status='online' with a canned A2A reply. It validates
-#     in CI now that the e2e-api job wires an admin token (org-import + token
-#     mint are AdminAuth-gated), so it is the guaranteed >=1 validation.
-#   - MiniMax (E2E_MINIMAX_API_KEY, from MOLECULE_STAGING_MINIMAX_API_KEY) is
-#     an OPPORTUNISTIC best-effort real-LLM arm: registry-fragile in CI (422
-#     UNREGISTERED_MODEL_FOR_RUNTIME — see run_minimax header), so a miss is
-#     a best-effort MISS via bestfail() and does NOT red the gate.
-# The CI e2e-api job sets E2E_REQUIRE_LIVE=1: mock guarantees a validation, so
-# the REQUIRED gate is honest (RED if the mock plumbing/admin-auth breaks). The
-# zero-validated→RED logic is also regression-gated by the bash unit test above.

-# The mock runtime (workspace-server/internal/handlers/mock_runtime.go)
-# is a virtual workspace: NO container, NO EC2, NO LLM key. The org-import
-# path (createWorkspaceTree, org_import.go) short-circuits a runtime=mock
-# workspace straight to status='online' (no provisioner needed), and the
-# A2A proxy (a2a_proxy.go → handleMockA2A) synthesises a deterministic
-# canned JSON-RPC reply with logActivity=true (writes the activity_logs
-# row too). That makes mock the perfect REQUIRE-LIVE backbone: it
-# exercises the SAME plumbing every real runtime needs to pass —
-#   provision-decision → status=online → A2A round-trip → activity_logs —
-# without depending on any external provider key or LLM availability. It
-# is GREEN on a healthy platform and RED only if that plumbing genuinely
-# breaks (DB insert, status flip, A2A proxy, activity logging). No more
-# false-green (zero-validated is impossible when mock works), and no more
-# can't-go-green (mock needs no secret, so it always runs in CI).
-#
-# Why org-import (POST /org/import) instead of POST /workspaces:
-#   The mock→online short-circuit lives ONLY in createWorkspaceTree
-#   (org_import.go). The single-workspace Create handler (workspace.go)
-#   has no mock branch — it routes runtime=mock through
-#   provisionWorkspaceAuto, which in CI's local-build mode has no mock
-#   image and would never reach online. Org-import is the supported path
-#   to a live mock workspace, so the arm drives it.
-#
-# The canned reply is one of the "On it!" variants (NOT "PONG"), so this

-####################################################################
-# NOTE: this is now a BEST-EFFORT arm, not the REQUIRE-LIVE backbone.
-# mock (run_mock above) is the guaranteed, no-key validation that keeps
-# the gate honest. MiniMax-create is fragile in CI: the namespaced model
-# id minimax:MiniMax-M2.7 is NOT in claude-code's native model set and
-# does NOT resolve via DeriveProvider (its only prefix-owner, byok-minimax,
-# is not wired as a claude-code runtime arm), so the create is rejected
-# 422 UNREGISTERED_MODEL_FOR_RUNTIME before any provisioning (RCA core
-# registry_gen.go Runtimes["claude-code"]). Rather than red the REQUIRED
-# gate on that registry-skew (or on any transient MiniMax provisioning /
-# model-registration issue), this arm reports a best-effort MISS via
-# bestfail() and lets mock carry the validation. If MiniMax DOES come up
-# it validates as a bonus real-LLM check.
-# Drives the claude-code runtime against MiniMax (BYOK) using the
-# already-present Gitea secret MOLECULE_STAGING_MINIMAX_API_KEY,
-# surfaced into the env as E2E_MINIMAX_API_KEY (same name + secret the
-# staging-smoke / continuous-synth canaries use — see staging-smoke.yml
-# and continuous-synth-e2e.yml). NO new credential is introduced.
-#
-# Why this is the arm that keeps the REQUIRED gate honest:
-#   - claude-code's `minimax` provider (providers.yaml / registry_gen.go)
-#     is third_party_anthropic_compat: it reads MINIMAX_API_KEY at boot
-#     and routes ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL → api.minimax.io/anthropic. So the
-#     ONLY tenant secret needed is {"MINIMAX_API_KEY": <key>} — exactly
-#     the SECRETS_JSON branch test_staging_full_saas.sh uses.
-#   - Model id is the NAMESPACED colon-form `minimax:MiniMax-M2.7`, the
-#     registered BYOK arm for claude-code (registry_gen.go Runtimes

-#!/usr/bin/env bash
-# Live staging E2E — the CP instance-state reconciler heals a terminated EC2.
-#
-# Real-infra complement to the deterministic unit tests for core#2261
-# (workspace-server/internal/registry/cp_instance_reconciler.go). Those unit
-# tests pin the reconcile logic against fakes; THIS script proves the loop
-# actually runs in a real tenant's workspace-server and drives the EXISTING
-# offline + auto-heal machinery against real AWS.
-#
-# Root regression (core#2247): a SaaS workspace whose EC2 is terminated out
-# from under the platform (manual AWS action, spot reclaim, CP reap) fell
-# through every existing liveness pass and kept reading status='online'
-# forever, pointing at a dead instance. The reconciler closes that gap with
-# CPProvisioner.IsRunning and feeds a clean "not running" into onOffline →
-# RestartByID (existing-volume reprovision).
-#
-# What this test does:
-#   1. Provision a fresh staging org + ONE workspace (same default
-#      runtime/model as the full-saas harness, so it actually boots).
-#   2. Poll the tenant API until the workspace is status=online; capture its
-#      instance_id.
-#   3. KILL it — terminate that exact EC2 via `aws ec2 terminate-instances`.
-#   4. Assert the reconciler heals it:
-#        PRIMARY (gate)      — within ~180s the workspace status LEAVES
-#                              'online' (the reconciler detected the dead
-#                              instance via IsRunning and flipped it). This
-#                              is the core regression guard: a dead instance
-#                              must NOT keep reading 'online'.
-#        SECONDARY (best-effort) — within ~10 min it auto-reprovisions:
-#                              status returns to 'online' with a NEW
-#                              instance_id (onOffline → RestartByID
-#                              existing-volume heal). If reprovision doesn't
-#                              finish in the bound we log it clearly but let
-#                              the PRIMARY assertion stand as the gate (see
-#                              the comment at the secondary block — a future
-#                              tightening that promotes this to a hard gate is
-#                              deliberately one edit away).
-#   5. Teardown ALWAYS (EXIT trap): delete the tenant + leak-sweep so no EC2
-#      is orphaned, even on a mid-test failure.
-#
-# Auth model + provisioning conventions are copied verbatim from
-# test_staging_full_saas.sh (single MOLECULE_ADMIN_TOKEN → CP admin; per-
-# tenant admin token + X-Molecule-Org-Id header for tenant API). The kill
-# primitive + leak sweep reuse lib/aws_leak_check.sh.
-#
-# Required env:
-#   MOLECULE_CP_URL        default: https://staging-api.moleculesai.app
-#   MOLECULE_ADMIN_TOKEN   CP admin bearer — Railway staging CP_ADMIN_API_TOKEN

-#   E2E_WORKSPACE_ONLINE_TIMEOUT_SECS  default 900 (15min). A workspace that
-#                     cannot reach online in 15min is a staging/boot problem,
-#                     not slow cold-boot — fail fast so the trap tears down the
-#                     EC2 instead of hanging ~1h and leaking a running instance
-#                     (observed: run 216031 hung 32min with a live e2e-rec EC2).

-// activity_seq_backfill_integration_test.go — REAL Postgres proof of the
-// invariant the 20260604000000_activity_logs_seq.up.sql migration guarantees:
-// every activity_logs row carries a NON-NULL `seq`, both for rows that existed
-// before the migration ran (assigned during the ALTER TABLE rewrite) and for
-// rows created afterward via the normal INSERT path (assigned by the IDENTITY
-// default). This is the coverage CR2 (#2339 review) correctly flagged as
-// missing on PR #2258.
-//
-// WHY THIS IS A SEPARATE TEST from activity_since_id_ordering_integration_test.go:
-// that test pins the *ordering* contract (same-microsecond rows come back in a
-// deterministic (created_at, seq) order). THIS test pins the *backfill* contract
-// — that `seq` is never NULL — and the consequence the reviewer doubted: a
-// pre-existing/backfilled row is usable as a since_id cursor because its seq is
-// non-null, so the tuple cursor `(created_at, seq)` the handler builds is well
-// defined for it.
-//
-// EMPIRICAL BASIS (PostgreSQL 16.13, the prod PG version):
-//   - `ALTER TABLE activity_logs ADD COLUMN seq BIGINT GENERATED BY DEFAULT AS
-//     IDENTITY` rewrites the table and assigns seq to EXISTING rows in physical
-//     table-scan order — they are NON-NULL, not left NULL as the review claimed.
-//   - The identity sequence then advances ABOVE max(seq), so the next INSERT
-//     that omits seq gets max+1 with no collision.
-// Run against any Postgres 15/16 the integration harness boots — the property
-// holds on both.
-//
-// Run with (same harness as activity_delegation_a2a_integration_test.go):
-//
-//	docker run --rm -d --name pg-integration \
