-// Tests for the always-visible "Agent Abilities" section added to ConfigTab
-// (internal#510 broadcast_enabled, internal#511 talk_to_user_enabled; backend
-// wired in commit 29b4bffb).
-//
-// Problem this pins: the two workspace ability flags had complete wired
-// backends but NO canvas control — broadcast had none at all, talk-to-user
-// only surfaced as a ChatTab recovery banner that is invisible under its
-// TRUE default. The CTO could not see or toggle either from canvas.
-//
-// What this suite pins:
-//   1. An "Agent Abilities" section renders (always visible, not gated).
-//   2. Both toggles render and reflect the store node's ability fields,
-//      including the asymmetric defaults (broadcast FALSE, talk TRUE).
-//   3. Toggling a switch calls PATCH /workspaces/:id/abilities with the
-//      correct snake_case body and optimistically updates the store.

+ * Behavioural focus: the poll-mode ("queued") path. When the target
+ * workspace is an external / MCP-registered agent (delivery_mode=poll,
+ * e.g. an operator laptop running the molecule MCP channel), the

+ * Pre-fix the hook treated that synthetic envelope as a terminal
+ * response and called releaseSendGuards() → `sending` went false the
+ * instant the POST returned → the "agent is working" indicator
+ * vanished and the external turn looked dead. This suite pins the
+ * fixed contract:

+ *   - a real reply still clears `sending` (regression guard)
+ *   - a poll "queued" envelope KEEPS `sending` true (no terminal
+ *     clear) so the existing thinking indicator persists

+
+---
+
+## PR #3029 — CP orphan sweeper + registry prefix abstraction
+
+### Correctness ✅ (with 1 semantic conflict to resolve)
+
+**cp_orphan_sweeper.go** — The deprovision split-write race fix is sound:
+- SELECT `status='removed' AND instance_id IS NOT NULL AND instance_id != ''` correctly targets leaked EC2s.
+- Stop → clear instance_id is idempotent; on Stop failure the row stays targeted for retry.
+- `ORDER BY updated_at DESC` + `LIMIT $1` + `UPDATE updated_at = now()` creates fair round-robin drain across cycles.
+- `supervised.RunWithRecover` wiring in `cmd/server/main.go` mirrors the Docker sweeper pattern.
+
+**provisioner/registry.go** — Clean env-driven prefix abstraction:
+- `RegistryPrefix()` respects `MOLECULE_IMAGE_REGISTRY` override; falls back to GHCR OSS default.
+- `RuntimeImage()` returns `""` for unknown runtimes, forcing explicit fallback at call sites.
+- `computeRuntimeImages()` runs at init; captures prefix active at boot.
+
+** provisioner.go migration** — Hardcoded map → `computeRuntimeImages()` is a safe refactor; no behavioral change for OSS default.
+
+**admin_workspace_images.go** — `TemplateImageRef()` now uses `provisioner.RegistryPrefix()`; keeps admin ops and provisioner pulls consistent.
+
+### Security ✅
+
+- Sweeper SQL has no user-input surface; parameters are internal LIMIT constant and DB-generated IDs.
+- `RegistryPrefix()` reads env only; comment correctly notes it is deploy-time trusted (operator-set, not user-supplied).
+- No new secrets, auth tokens, or credential exposure.
+
+### Performance ✅
+
+- 60s tick / 30s deadline / LIMIT 100 is conservative and safe.
+- Sequential Stop calls share the 30s parent context; with typical CP DELETE latency (<1s), 100 orphans finish well within budget.
+- If CP is degraded, deadline expires, UPDATEs don't fire, and next cycle retries — no stampede.
+
+### Style / Readability ✅
+
+- Excellent docstrings; the `#2989` race narrative is clearly documented for future maintainers.
+- `CPOrphanReaper` interface is minimal and testable.
+- Nil-reaper and nil-DB guards follow existing patterns.
+- One minor nit: `cpSweepOnce` could return `[]string` of processed IDs to make post-hoc assertions easier, but the fake-reaper test pattern works fine as-is.
+
+### Tests ✅ (excellent coverage)
+
+| Scenario | Covered |
+|---|---|
+| Happy path: Stop succeeds, instance_id cleared | ✅ |
+| Stop fails, instance_id retained for retry | ✅ |
+| Empty result set (steady state) | ✅ |
+| Multiple orphans, partial failure, others proceed | ✅ |
+| DB query error (transient) | ✅ |
+| UPDATE error after Stop success (logs, continues) | ✅ |
+| Nil db.DB (defensive boot safety) | ✅ |
+| Nil reaper (disabled, no goroutine leak) | ✅ |
+| Boot sweep + tick cadence + ctx cancel | ✅ |
+| Registry prefix default / env override / empty env | ✅ |
+| Runtime image format for all known runtimes | ✅ |
+| Unknown runtime returns `""` | ✅ |
+| Registry override applies to ALL runtimes | ✅ |
+| Alphabetical order pin | ✅ |
+
+**All tests pass:**
+```
+ok  github.com/.../internal/registry     0.107s  (9/9 CP sweeper tests)
+ok  github.com/.../internal/provisioner  0.009s  (7/7 registry tests)
+```
+
+### ⚠️ BLOCKER: Semantic conflict with PR #3033
+
+`registry.go` adds `"codex"` to `knownRuntimes`, making **9** production runtimes:
+```go
+knownRuntimes = []string{
+    "autogen", "claude-code", "codex", "crewai", "deepagents",
+    "gemini-cli", "hermes", "langgraph", "openclaw",
+}
+```
+
+PR #3033 updates the README to claim **eight** production runtimes and explicitly lists:
+> Claude Code, Hermes, Gemini CLI, LangGraph, DeepAgents, CrewAI, AutoGen, OpenClaw
+
+`codex` is absent from the README compatibility table, the "What Ships In main" section, and the architecture diagram list. After both PRs merge, the code will support 9 runtimes but the docs will claim 8 — a public-facing drift.
+
+**Fix path:** Add `codex` to the README runtime list in PR #3033 (or a fast-follow) so the count and table stay accurate. `codex` already exists in `manifest.json` and has a template repo, so it is legitimate to list as "shipping on main."
+
+---
+
+## PR #3033 — Docs refresh (README + branding assets)
+
+### Correctness ✅ (with 1 semantic drift pending)
+
+- Terminology standardization ("adapters" → "runtimes") is correct and consistent with platform usage.
+- Deploy buttons updated from `molecule-monorepo` → `molecule-core`.
+- Canvas v4, Memory v2, SaaS surface, RFC #2967 mentions are all factually accurate.
+- **Missing:** `codex` runtime (see blocker above).
+
+### Security ✅
+
+- SVG assets are static branding; no scripts, no external references beyond the existing `<style>` media query.
+- No auth or credential surface touched.
+
+### Performance N/A
+
+- Docs-only; no runtime impact.
+
+### Style / Readability ✅
+
+- warm-paper theme description is concise and helpful.
+- Architecture diagram update (Docker → EC2 + SSM, KMS, SaaS CP) is accurate.
+- Quick Start clone URL fixed.
+
+### Tests N/A
+
+- No code changes; no test delta.
+
+---
+
+## Summary
+
+| PR | Verdict | Action needed |
+|---|---|---|
+| #3029 | **Approve with nit** | Merge-ready after confirming #3033 (or follow-up) adds `codex` to README runtime list. |
+| #3033 | **Approve with blocker** | Add `codex` to the 8-runtimes list (making 9) and to the compatibility table before merge. |
+
+**Risk if both merge as-is:** Public docs understate runtime count by 1; operators reading README may think `codex` is not supported when the provisioner already knows about it.
+
+**Recommended merge order:** #3029 first (adds runtime support), then #3033 with `codex` line added (docs catch up).
