+# "codegen-checked-into-each-repo + verify-CI").
+#
+# The canonical provider-registry SSOT is molecule-controlplane
+# internal/providers/providers.yaml. molecule-core has NO Go module dependency
+# on controlplane, so instead of importing it we carry a SYNCED COPY at
+# workspace-server/internal/providers/providers.yaml and gate it.
+#
+# This workflow fetches the canonical providers.yaml from controlplane (via the
+# Gitea raw endpoint, read-only) and byte-compares it against core's synced
+# 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 ./...`.
+#   * verify-providers-gen.yml — artifact ↔ synced-copy drift.
+#
+# ENFORCEMENT GATING: standalone workflow, NOT a job in ci.yml and NOT in
+# branch protection (same soak-then-promote posture as verify-providers-gen).
+# It is intentionally absent from ci.yml's job set so the ci-required-drift
+# sentinel does not fire on it.
+#
+# AUTH: uses AUTO_SYNC_TOKEN (the existing cross-repo read token used to sync
+# template/provider content from sibling repos). If the secret is absent the
+# job emits a clear ::warning:: and exits 0 — the hermetic sha pin in
+# sync_canonical_test.go is the always-on backstop, so a missing cross-repo

+# Provider-registry SSOT enforcement gate — molecule-core side (internal#718
+# P2-A, CTO 2026-05-27 "Distribution = SDK via codegen + verify-CI").
+#
+# The canonical schema SSOT is molecule-controlplane
+# internal/providers/providers.yaml. molecule-core carries a SYNCED COPY at
+# workspace-server/internal/providers/providers.yaml (kept in sync by the
+# companion sync-providers-yaml.yml gate), and cmd/gen-providers emits the
+# checked-in Go projection workspace-server/internal/providers/gen/registry_gen.go.
+#
+# This workflow regenerates the artifact into the working tree and fails RED if
+# it differs from what is committed — catching BOTH:
+#   * 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
+# workflow. Together with sync-providers-yaml (canonical↔synced-copy drift) it
+# closes the codegen-checked-into-each-repo + verify-CI loop the RFC mandates.
+#
+# ENFORCEMENT GATING (deliberate, per dev-SOP "implementation gating"):
+# this is a STANDALONE workflow, NOT a job inside ci.yml, and is NOT yet in any
+# branch-protection status_check_contexts. Rationale (identical to the CP P0
+# rollout):
+#   * It runs + reports RED on every PR/push immediately (visible signal).
+#   * It is intentionally absent from ci.yml's job set so the ci-required-drift
+#     sentinel (jobs ↔ branch-protection ↔ audit-env) does NOT fire on it, and
+#     from branch protection (turning it into a hard merge gate has blast radius
+#     — operator GO required, same pattern as sop-tier-check / verify-providers-gen
+#     on controlplane). Promote it into branch protection in a follow-up once
+#     P2 has soaked.

-// Tests for the provider → llm_billing_mode linkage (internal#703 Gap 2).
+// internal#718 P4 closure — ConfigTab.billingMode.test.tsx is retired.
 //
-// What this pins: when the operator changes the PROVIDER in the Config
-// tab, the workspace's llm_billing_mode must follow — a non-Platform
-// provider sets billing_mode=byok; Platform sets platform_managed. Before
-// this wiring, selecting "Claude Code subscription (OAuth)" or any vendor
-// key wrote the credential env but left billing_mode=platform_managed, so
-// CP kept injecting the platform proxy base URL and the OAuth token /
-// vendor key was never used — BYOK silently no-op'd (the live jrs-auto
-// SEO-Agent symptom in #703).
+// This suite (255 lines, 8 tests) pinned the canvas-side provider →
+// llm_billing_mode linkage from internal#703 Gap 2: when the operator
+// changed the PROVIDER in the Config tab, ConfigTab.handleSave would
+// PUT /admin/workspaces/:id/llm-billing-mode so the platform-vs-byok
+// decision tracked the dropdown.
 //
-// The billing-mode PUT targets the same per-tenant endpoint the LLM
-// Billing section uses: PUT /admin/workspaces/:id/llm-billing-mode with
-// body {mode: "byok" | "platform_managed"}.
+// That linkage is retired together with the LLM_PROVIDER override flow
+// (see ConfigTab.provider.test.tsx retirement note). P2-B (#1972)
+// moved the platform-vs-byok decision to
+// `ResolveLLMBillingModeDerived(runtime, model, authEnv)` in
+// workspace-server — the canvas can no longer override it via the
+// provider dropdown, by design. The runtime+model selection IS the
+// billing-mode selection now.
+//
+// The `/admin/workspaces/:id/llm-billing-mode` endpoint still exists
+// as the operator override surface (`workspaces.llm_billing_mode`
+// column); it is no longer driven by the provider dropdown.
+// Coverage for the derived billing flow lives in

+// of molecule-controlplane's cmd/gen-providers (the canonical generator). It
+// reads core's SYNCED COPY of the schema — internal/providers/providers.yaml
+// (via the providers loader, so it shares the SAME parse + validation as the
+// runtime) — and emits a checked-in Go artifact:
+//
+//	internal/providers/gen/registry_gen.go
+//
+// The artifact is a deterministic projection of the merged registry: the
+// provider catalog + per-runtime native sets as Go literals, plus the schema
+// version and a content fingerprint. It is core's leaf of the multi-language SDK
+// layer the RFC calls for (Go(CP+core)/TS(canvas)/Python(adapters)).
+//
+// CONTRACT for P2-A (zero behavior change): the generated artifact is
+// checked-in + drift-gated ONLY. NO production code path imports
+// internal/providers/gen — the gen-import-boundary test pins that. P2-B wires
+// the billing/credential decision onto the LOADER (DeriveProvider/IsPlatform),
+// not the raw gen literals. The generator is the build-time half;
+// verify-providers-gen.yml is the CI half that regenerates and fails RED on any
+// diff (drift or hand-edit); sync-providers-yaml.yml gates the synced copy
+// against the controlplane canonical.
+//
+// Usage:
+//
+//	go run ./cmd/gen-providers            # write the artifact in place

-// derive_provider_drift_test.go — behavior-based AST/text drift gate.
-//
-// Why this exists: PR #2535 introduced a Go port of derive-provider.sh
-// (see deriveProviderFromModelSlug in workspace_provision.go) so the
-// workspace-server can persist LLM_PROVIDER into workspace_secrets at
-// provision time. That created two sources of truth:
-//
-//   1. molecule-ai-workspace-template-hermes/scripts/derive-provider.sh —
-//      runs inside the container at boot, has the final say on which
-//      provider hermes targets (writes ~/.hermes/config.yaml's
-//      model.provider field). The shell script lives in a separate
-//      OSS repo, so we vendor a snapshot at testdata/derive-provider.sh
-//      to keep this gate hermetic.
-//   2. workspace-server/internal/handlers/workspace_provision.go's
-//      deriveProviderFromModelSlug — runs at provision time on the
-//      platform side so LLM_PROVIDER lands in workspace_secrets and
-//      survives Save+Restart.
-//
-// If a future PR adds a new provider prefix to one but not the other,
-// the workspace-server's persisted LLM_PROVIDER silently disagrees
-// with what the container's derive-provider.sh produces. The container
-// wins (it writes the actual config.yaml), so the workspace-server's
-// persisted value becomes stale and misleading without anything
-// flipping red in CI.
-//
-// This gate pins the invariant that the *prefix set* the two functions
-// know about is identical, modulo a small hardcoded acceptedDivergences
-// map for the two intentional differences documented in
-// deriveProviderFromModelSlug's doc comment (nousresearch/* and
-// openai/* both fall back to "openrouter" at provision time because
-// the runtime env that picks "nous" / "custom" isn't available yet).
-//
-// Pattern: the "behavior-based AST gate" from PR #2367 / memory
-// feedback_behavior_based_ast_gates — pin invariants by what a
-// function maps, not by what it's named. Walks the actual Go AST of
-// deriveProviderFromModelSlug's switch statement so a rename or a
-// duplicate function in another file can't sneak past the gate.
-//
-// Task: #242. Companion to the table-driven mapping test in
-// workspace_provision_shared_test.go (TestDeriveProviderFromModelSlug)
-// which pins the *values*; this test pins the *coverage* of the
-// prefix set itself.
-//
-// Hermetic: reads two files (vendored shell script + Go source) from
-// paths relative to the test package directory and parses them
-// in-process. No network, no docker, no DB. The vendored shell script
-// at testdata/derive-provider.sh is a snapshot of the upstream OSS
-// template repo's script — refresh it via the cp command in that file's

+//     never selectable for that runtime, even if its catalog regex matches.
+//  3. EXACT model-id match is authoritative (CTO 2026-05-27 "disambiguate by
+//     exact model id"): if the model id appears verbatim in exactly one
+//     native provider ref's Models list, that provider wins outright — this
+//     resolves the kimi namespace split (moonshot/kimi-k2.6 -> platform vs
+//     bare kimi-for-coding -> kimi-coding) deterministically and overrides
+//     any broader prefix match.
+//  4. Otherwise, fall back to model_prefix_match among the native providers.
+//  5. If >1 native provider still matches, disambiguate by auth env: keep
+//     only the providers whose auth_env intersects availableAuthEnv. If
+//     exactly one survives, it wins.
+//  6. If still >1 (or 0) -> error. Overlap is an ambiguity the registry data

+//
+// Resolution (fail-closed; never a silent default):
+//
+//  1. Namespace split: for each separator "/" then ":" (the proxy's loop
+//     order), cut the id. If the prefix token EQUALS some provider entry's
+//     UpstreamVendor, that entry wins: Vendor = its UpstreamVendor, Model = the
+//     SUFFIX. The first separator that yields a known vendor wins ("/" before
+//     ":"), matching the proxy verbatim.
+//  2. Otherwise the id is BARE. Bare ids are VESTIGIAL at the proxy: zero live
+//     platform traffic is bare (every platform model id is namespaced), so the
+//     converged path does NOT resolve them — it returns an error and the proxy
+//     falls back to its documented, retained legacy switch (inferLLMProviderLegacy).
+//     This is INTENTIONAL: P0 tightened bare `kimi-*` to the kimi-coding
+//     gateway in the registry, which is NOT a valid proxy upstream, so routing

+//     only resolution sidesteps that without a moonshot special-case or a new

+# =============================================================================
+# RUNTIME NATIVE SUPPORT MATRIX  (RFC #340 — CTO correction 2026-05-26)
+# =============================================================================
+# The `providers:` list above is the full catalog (the union of proxy /
+# canvas / adapter / DB). It is NOT the support matrix. We do NOT support
+# every model on every provider.
+#
+# This `runtimes:` block is the SSOT for "which providers + models does
+# runtime R NATIVELY support". It constrains the catalog to each runtime's
+# native support matrix — the INVERSE of a superset. Canvas (PR-4) offers
+# ONLY a runtime's native models; the proxy (PR-3) routes ONLY native models
+# with NO protocol translation (matches the cp#334 "use the native endpoint,
+# don't translate" fix). A catalog provider that appears in NO runtime's
+# native set is over-offer drift: it stays in `providers:` only if another
+# runtime legitimately uses it, otherwise it is the drift this RFC prunes.
+#
+# AUTHORITATIVE MATRIX (provider level), encoded EXACTLY below:
+#   claude-code -> anthropic (oauth + api), kimi (kimi-coding), minimax
+#   hermes      -> kimi (kimi-coding)
+#   codex       -> openai
+#   openclaw    -> kimi (kimi-coding)
+#
+# Each runtime entry lists native provider NAMES (referencing `providers:`
+# above; Load fails closed on an unknown ref) plus the EXACT model ids that
+# runtime exposes for that provider. Model ids are transcribed verbatim from
+# each runtime template's config.yaml `runtime_config.models` block
+# (git.moleculesai.app/molecule-ai/molecule-ai-workspace-template-<rt>),
+# pruned to the native matrix above.
+#
+# DRIFT PRUNED (templates declare these, they are NOT in the native matrix,
+# so they are deliberately absent from the runtimes block below — flagged in
+# the RFC, carried in `providers:` only where another runtime needs them):
+#   * claude-code template also declares: xiaomi-mimo (mimo-*), zai (GLM-*),
+#     deepseek (deepseek-*). Outside {anthropic, kimi, minimax} -> pruned.
+#   * codex template also declares: minimax-token-plan (codex-minimax-*).
+#     Outside {openai} -> pruned. (Template itself notes the MiniMax
+#     token-plan leg 404s on /v1/responses — a vendor gap, reinforcing the
+#     prune.)
+#   * openclaw template also declares: minimax (the default!), openai (gpt-*),
+#     groq, openrouter. Outside {kimi} -> pruned. NOTE: openclaw's *default*
+#     model is minimax:MiniMax-M2.7, NOT kimi — the CTO matrix narrows
+#     openclaw to its native Kimi path (moonshot: prefix + KIMI_API_KEY ->
+#     api.kimi.com/coding gateway). See RFC #340 update for the rationale.
+#   * hermes template declares ~30 providers (nous, openrouter, anthropic,
+#     gemini, deepseek, zai, minimax, alibaba, xiaomi, arcee, nvidia, ...).
+#     The CTO matrix narrows hermes to {kimi} only -> all others pruned from
+#     the native set.
+runtimes:
