fix(ci): use AUTO_SYNC_TOKEN for auto-sync main->staging (Class D)

Same shape as molecule-controlplane#29: per-job GITHUB_TOKEN doesn't have the Gitea API permissions to open PRs / push branches the auto-sync flow needs. AUTO_SYNC_TOKEN is the devops-engineer persona PAT (per saved memory feedback_per_agent_gitea_identity_default). Companion prod ops (already done): - devops-engineer added as collaborator on molecule-core (write) - devops-engineer added to staging branch protection push_whitelist - AUTO_SYNC_TOKEN registered as Actions secret on molecule-core

+# Hourly cron + on-demand alarm for the silent-block failure mode that
+# motivated issue #2975:
+#   - The auto-promote-staging.yml workflow opened a PR + armed
+#     auto-merge, but main's branch protection requires a human review
+#     (reviewDecision=REVIEW_REQUIRED). The PR sat BLOCKED with no
+#     surface-up-the-stack for 12+ hours, holding 25 commits hostage
+#     including the Memory v2 redesign and a reno-stars data-loss fix.
+#
+# This workflow runs `scripts/check-stale-promote-pr.sh` against the
+# repo's open auto-promote PRs (base=main head=staging). When a PR has
+# been BLOCKED on REVIEW_REQUIRED for >4h, it:
+#   1. Emits a workflow-level warning (visible in run summary + the
+#      Actions UI feed).
+#   2. Posts a comment on the PR (idempotent — one alarm per PR).
+#
+# The detection logic lives in scripts/check-stale-promote-pr.sh so
+# it's unit-testable with stubbed `gh` (see test-check-stale-promote-pr.sh).
+# This file is the schedule + invocation surface only — SSOT for the
+# detector itself.

+ *   - Per-row badges for kind (fact|summary|checkpoint), source

+ *     source-workspace if the memory came from a peer.
+ *   - No Edit affordance — v2's plugin contract has no PATCH; the
+ *     model is forget + recommit. Delete (Forget) stays.
+ *
+ * Shipping note: when the plugin isn't wired (MEMORY_PLUGIN_URL
+ * unset), every endpoint returns 503 with a clear hint. The panel
+ * surfaces that as a banner so operators know to set the env var,

+ * FileTreeContextMenu — VSCode-style right-click menu for a single

+ * outside-click, Esc, blur, or scroll.
+ *
+ * Why a custom component (no library): the menu is one of several
+ * "small popovers" in canvas; pulling in a dnd / popover lib for one
+ * surface adds 10x the bytes of this implementation. The patterns
+ * (outside-click + Esc + portal-free fixed position) match the
+ * ContextMenu used in canvas/Toolbar so the keyboard-nav muscle
+ * memory is uniform.
+ *
+ * Items are rendered from a `MenuItem[]` so callers can add/remove
+ * actions without touching this component (e.g. PR-D will add an
+ * "Upload to this folder" item for directory rows).
+ *
+ * Accessibility:
+ * - role="menu" + role="menuitem" so screen readers announce the
+ *   surface as a menu, not a generic div.
+ * - First item gets autofocus so keyboard users can ↓/↑/Enter without
+ *   reaching for the mouse.
+ * - Esc + outside-click + Tab dismisses; behaves like every other
+ *   menu the user has touched on the canvas.

+//
+// Auth model
+// ----------
+//
+// The Critical UX/Security trade-off (per RFC's hostile-self-review
+// item #2): the bytes live behind workspace auth. A bare
+// <img src="https://reno-stars.../chat/download?path=…"> WILL NOT
+// include our cookie + Origin headers when the browser loads it —
+// even for same-origin canvas-server, the auth chain (cookie + token
+// + X-Molecule-Org-Slug header) is JS-injected, not browser-default.
+//
+// Solution: same auth path the chip download uses. Fetch the bytes
+// with the JS auth headers, wrap in a Blob, hand the browser an
+// ObjectURL. The image renders from local memory; no second request,
+// no auth leakage, no CORS pain.
+//
+// That same blob URL is what the lightbox shows on click — single
+// fetch, cached for the lifetime of the message bubble.
+//
+// Failure modes
+// -------------
+//
+// - Fetch fails (404, 403, network) → fall back to AttachmentChip
+//   (the existing file-pill download flow). The user still gets a
+//   working download; we just lose the inline preview.
+// - Decoded as non-image (server returned wrong Content-Type, or
+//   bytes are corrupt) → onError handler swaps to AttachmentChip.
+// - Bytes too large — no enforcement here; the server caps at 25MB
+//   per file (chat_files.go), which is too big for a thumbnail but
+//   acceptable for a chat-attached image. If we hit pain we can
+//   downscale via canvas, but defer that to v2.

+// AttachmentPDF — inline PDF preview using the browser's native viewer
+// (RFC #2991, PR-3).
+//
+// Why browser-native (not PDF.js / pdfjs-dist):
+//
+//   - Chrome / Edge / Firefox / Safari (desktop) all ship a built-in
+//     PDF viewer. <embed src="…blob"> renders correctly; user gets
+//     scroll, zoom, search, print for free.
+//   - PDF.js adds ~3 MB to the canvas bundle. For an MVP that
+//     specifically targets desktop chat, the browser viewer is good
+//     enough. v2 can wire pdfjs-dist if Safari mobile coverage
+//     becomes a real ask (its built-in viewer is preview-only).
+//
+// Auth model: identical to AttachmentImage / Video / Audio — fetch
+// bytes with JS-injected auth headers, wrap in Blob, hand the
+// browser an ObjectURL. <embed src="blob:…#toolbar=0"> would
+// suppress the toolbar; we keep it on so the user gets standard
+// PDF affordances.
+//
+// Fullscreen: AttachmentLightbox hosts the PDF at viewport size on
+// click. Same shared modal as image — third caller justifies the
+// abstraction (per RFC #2991 design).
+//
+// Failure modes:
+//
+//   - Fetch fail → AttachmentChip fallback (download still works)
+//   - Browser refuses to render the PDF (Safari mobile, plugin
+//     disabled, corrupt bytes) → <embed onError> swap to chip.
+//     Note: <embed> doesn't fire onError reliably across browsers.
+//     Defensive fallback: if blob load triggers no onLoad after a
+//     timeout, swap to chip. Implemented as a 3-second watchdog.

+// platform-auth URIs need our cookie/token, so we fetch the bytes,

+// External (http/https) URIs skip the fetch and use the raw URL.

+// Memory caveat: a Blob holds the entire video in JS memory until

-# Team Expansion (Recursive Workspaces)
-
-When a workspace is expanded into a team, it gains sub-workspaces while its own agent remains as the **team lead** (coordinator). This is recursive — sub-workspaces can themselves be expanded into teams, infinitely deep.
-
-## How It Works
-
-When Developer PM is expanded into a team:
-
-```
-Business Core
-   |
-   +-- Developer PM (agent stays, becomes coordinator)
-          |
-          +-- Frontend Agent (sub-workspace, private scope)
-          +-- Backend Agent  (sub-workspace, private scope)
-          +-- QA Agent       (sub-workspace, private scope)
-```
-
- Developer PM's agent **still exists** and acts as coordinator
- Developer PM receives incoming A2A messages from Business Core
- Developer PM's agent decides how to delegate to sub-workspaces
- Sub-workspaces talk to Developer PM and to each other (same level)
- Sub-workspaces **cannot** talk to Business Core or any workspace outside the team
-
-## Communication Rules
-
-| Direction | Allowed? | Example |
-|-----------|----------|---------|
-| Parent level -> team lead | Yes | Business Core -> Developer PM |
-| Team lead -> sub-workspaces | Yes | Developer PM -> Frontend Agent |
-| Sub-workspace -> team lead | Yes | Frontend Agent -> Developer PM |
-| Sub-workspace <-> sibling | Yes | Frontend Agent <-> Backend Agent |
-| Outside -> sub-workspace directly | No (403) | Business Core -> Frontend Agent |
-| Sub-workspace -> outside directly | No | Frontend Agent -> Business Core |
-
-The team lead (Developer PM) is the **only** bridge between the team's internal world and the outside.
-
-## Scoped Registry
-
-Sub-workspaces register in the platform registry but with a **private scope**. The registry knows about them but enforces access control.
-
-```
-Registry:
-  Business Core      :8001   scope: public
-  Developer PM       :8002   scope: public
-  Frontend Agent     :8010   scope: private, parent=Developer PM
-  Backend Agent      :8011   scope: private, parent=Developer PM
-  QA Agent           :8012   scope: private, parent=Developer PM
-```
-
- The platform can always discover any workspace (for provisioning, monitoring)
- The parent workspace can discover its sub-workspaces
- Sub-workspaces can discover their siblings (same parent)
- Outside workspaces get a **403 Forbidden** if they try to discover a private sub-workspace
-
-## How to Expand
-
-Expansion is triggered via `POST /workspaces/:id/expand`. The platform reads the `sub_workspaces` list from the workspace's config and provisions each one. On the canvas, users right-click a workspace node and select "Expand into team."
-
-Collapsing is the inverse: `POST /workspaces/:id/collapse`. Sub-workspaces are stopped and removed.
-
-## What Happens on Expansion
-
-When Developer PM is expanded into a team, the hierarchy changes but the outside view doesn't. Business Core's parent/child relationship to Developer PM is unaffected — Developer PM still responds to the same A2A endpoint.
-
-The events fired:
- `WORKSPACE_EXPANDED` with the new `sub_workspace_ids` in the payload
- `WORKSPACE_PROVISIONING` for each new sub-workspace
- `WORKSPACE_ONLINE` for each sub-workspace as they come up
-
-Communication rules are automatically derived from the new hierarchy — no manual wiring needed.
-
-## Canvas Behavior
-
- Children render as embedded mini-cards (`TeamMemberChip`) inside the parent node, not as separate canvas nodes
- Each mini-card shows full status: gradient bar, name, tier badge, skills pills, active tasks, descendant count
- **Recursive rendering** up to 3 levels deep (`MAX_NESTING_DEPTH = 3`) — sub-cards can contain their own "Team" sections
- Parent node dynamically resizes: 210-280px (no children), 320-450px (children), 400-560px (grandchildren)
- Eject button (sky-blue arrow icon) on hover extracts a child from the team
- "Extract from Team" also available in the right-click context menu
- Double-click a team node to zoom/fit to the parent area
- The parent workspace node shows a badge with total descendant count
-
-## Collapsing a Team
-
-The inverse of expansion, triggered via `POST /workspaces/:id/collapse`:
-
-1. Each sub-workspace agent wraps up current work and writes a handoff document to memory
-2. Sub-workspaces are stopped and removed
-3. The team lead's agent goes back to handling everything directly
-4. A `WORKSPACE_COLLAPSED` event fires
-
-Sub-workspace memory is cleaned up based on backend (see [Memory — Cleanup](../architecture/memory.md#cleanup-on-workspace-deletion)).
-
-## Deleting a Team Workspace
-
-When a team workspace is deleted:
-1. Platform shows a warning listing all sub-workspaces that will be deleted
-2. User can **drag sub-workspaces out** of the team before confirming (promotes them to the parent level)
-3. On confirmation, cascade delete removes the parent and all remaining sub-workspaces
-4. `WORKSPACE_REMOVED` events fire for each deleted workspace

+### Push vs poll delivery (Claude Code specifics)
+
+By default the inbox runs in **poll mode** — every turn the agent
+calls `wait_for_message`, which blocks up to ~60s on
+`/activity?since_id=…`. Real-time push delivery is also supported,
+but on Claude Code it requires THREE conditions, ALL of which must
+hold:
+
+1. **The MCP server declares `experimental.claude/channel`** — this
+   wheel does (see `_build_initialize_result`). Nothing for you to
+   do.
+2. **Claude Code installs the server as a marketplace plugin** — a
+   plain `claude mcp add molecule -- molecule-mcp` produces a
+   non-plugin-sourced server, which Claude Code rejects with
+   `channel_enable requires a marketplace plugin`. Until the
+   official `moleculesai/claude-code-plugin` marketplace lands
+   (tracking [#2936](https://github.com/Molecule-AI/molecule-core/issues/2936)),
+   operators who want push must scaffold their own local marketplace
+   under
+   `~/.claude/marketplaces/molecule-local/` containing a
+   `marketplace.json` + `plugin.json` that points at this wheel.
+3. **Claude Code is launched with the dev-channels flag** — pass
+   `--dangerously-load-development-channels plugin:molecule@<marketplace>`
+   on the `claude` invocation. Without this flag the channel
+   capability is silently ignored.
+
+Symptom of any condition failing: messages arrive but only via the
+poll path (every ~1–60s), not real-time. There's currently no
+diagnostic surfaced — `molecule-mcp doctor` (tracking
+[#2937](https://github.com/Molecule-AI/molecule-core/issues/2937)) is
+planned.
+
+If you don't need real-time push, the default poll path works
+universally with no extra setup; both modes converge on the same
+`inbox_pop` ack so messages never duplicate.
+
+See [`docs/workspace-runtime-package.md`](https://git.moleculesai.app/molecule-ai/molecule-core/src/branch/main/docs/workspace-runtime-package.md)
