fix(queue): re-fetch PR head before merge to detect stale SHA

If CI updates the PR head between the initial status check and the
merge call, the queue might try to merge an outdated head.  Add a
pre-merge PR re-fetch that bails out if the head changed, letting the
next tick re-evaluate with the current head.

- *
- *  - openclaw → `/agent-home` (the agent's identity/state — the
- *    user-facing interesting files for that runtime live in
- *    `~/.openclaw/` inside the container, which `/agent-home` maps to
- *    via the Phase 2b docker-exec backend).
- *  - everything else (claude-code, hermes, external-like, undefined)
- *    → `/configs` (the legacy default — managed config that flows
- *    through the per-runtime indirection in
- *    workspace-server/internal/handlers/template_files_eic.go).
- *
- *  When the runtime is undefined (legacy callers that don't thread
- *  `data` through, or a workspace whose runtime field hasn't loaded
- *  yet) the default is `/configs` — matches today's behaviour, no
- *  surprise.
- *
- *  Note on `/agent-home` pre-Phase-2b: the backend short-circuits
- *  with HTTP 501 and the canonical "implementation pending" body.
- *  The tab renders empty + the error banner explains. This is by
- *  design — lets us land the canvas UX before the backend ships,
- *  per the RFC's phased rollout. The 501 is graceful: it doesn't
- *  poison error toasts or generate "workspace not found" noise.
- *

-//

-//   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.

-// agent_card_reconcile.go — server-side repair for the fleet-wide
-// agent-card identity gap.
-//
-// Root cause: the runtime builds its AgentCard from config.name
-// (workspace/main.py:198), and config.name is read from the
-// CP-regenerated /configs/config.yaml whose `name:` field is the raw
-// workspace UUID — NOT the friendly name the operator sees. The friendly
-// name IS captured: POST /workspaces and PATCH /workspaces/:id (the
-// canvas Details tab) write it to the trusted workspaces.name DB column.
-// But /registry/register stores the runtime-supplied card verbatim
-// (registry.go: `agent_card = EXCLUDED.agent_card`), so the stored card
-// served at /.well-known/agent-card.json and returned to peers via
-// agent_card_url ends up with name = UUID, description = "", role = null.
-//
-// Fix shape (deliberately minimal, no contract weakening): when the
-// runtime-supplied card's `name` is empty or equals the workspace UUID
-// (the placeholder the runtime had no better value for), the PLATFORM —
-// not the agent — substitutes the friendly value from the trusted
-// workspaces row. Identity stays platform-controlled: the agent never
-// gains the ability to self-set its own name/role; the platform sources
-// it from the operator-controlled DB column. We only ever FILL gaps
-// (empty / UUID-placeholder); a card that already carries a real
-// friendly name is never downgraded.
-//
-// list_peers / the /registry/:id/peers endpoint already resolve display
-// names from workspaces.name directly (discovery.go / mcp_tools.go
-// `SELECT w.id, w.name, ...`), so peer_name in delivered message tags
-// was already correct — this fix closes the remaining surface: the
-// agent_card blob itself (canvas Agent Card / Skills view, peer
-// agent_card_url fetches, the well-known card).
-//
-// description / role degrade discovery the same way: an empty
-// description and null role give peers nothing to reason about. We
-// default description from the (now reconciled) name when blank and
-// role from workspaces.role when the operator set one.
-

-// Package provisioner — T4 privilege contract.
-//
-// This file is the single source of truth for what a Tier-4 ("full
-// machine access") workspace runtime MUST guarantee, expressed as code
-// templates can reference and CI can verify.
-//
-// RFC: molecule-ai/internal#456 (per-template privilege-contract class).
-// Task: molecule-ai/internal #174.
-//
-// Background
-// ----------
-// Prior art is RFC#456's three layers:
-//
-//	(1) molecule-runtime self-enforces uid-1000 + fchown safety net,
-//	(2) a platform-owned wrapper entrypoint from a shared base image,
-//	(3) a REQUIRED CI conformance gate wired into the fresh-provision
-//	    harness that asserts the post-condition, not the mechanism.
-//
-// This file is the *data shape* for layer (3): the gate's tests have
-// been hand-written per-template (template-claude-code, template-hermes,
-// template-codex). Hand-writing drifts; the Hermes 401 class came from
-// drift. We need the capability list itself to be code so that:
-//
-//   - The provisioner can dump it as `t4_capabilities.yaml` for any
-//     fork user or non-Molecule-AI template runner to consume directly
-//     (no hardcoded internal org).
-//   - A `Verify(...)` helper turns into the t4-conformance shell out of
-//     one file, so when a capability is added the templates pick it up
-//     by reading the YAML — they do not silently lag.
-//   - The provisioner-emit side (provisioner.go applyTierResources / T4
-//     branch) and the verifier side share the same constants for the
-//     uid + mount paths, eliminating "string-match" drift between
-//     emitter and gate.
-//
-// Non-goals
-// ---------
-//   - This is NOT a substitute for layer (1)/(2). Templates still must
-//     `exec gosu agent` and write /configs/.auth_token under uid 1000;
-//     this file describes *what to check*, not how to achieve it.
-//   - This file does not run tests. It is the spec. CI workflows call
-//     `T4PrivilegeContract().AsYAML()` once at the start of the gate
-//     and assert each capability's `Probe` returns ok.

-//   - the runtime's bundled pre-commit hook
-//     (molecule-ai-workspace-runtime/molecule_runtime/scripts/pre-commit-checks.sh)
-//   - the upcoming Phase 2b docker-exec Files API backend, which has
-//     to refuse to surface files whose path OR content matches a
-//     credential shape (RFC internal#425, Hongming 2026-05-15)
-//
-// Before this package, the same regex set lived as duplicate bash
-// arrays in two unrelated repos; adding a pattern required editing
-// both, and pattern drift was caught only via secret-scan workflow
-// failures on PRs that had unrelated changes (#2090-class incident
-// vector). Centralising in Go makes the Files API the SSOT, with the
-// YAML + bash arrays generated/asserted from this package so drift
-// is detected at CI time, not at exfiltration time.
-//
-// This file is Phase 2a of the internal#425 RFC. Phase 2b will import
-// `Patterns` from `template_files_docker_exec.go` to gate
-// `listFilesViaDockerExec` / `readFileViaDockerExec` against
-// secret-shaped paths AND content. Until 2b lands, the package has
-// one consumer: this package's own unit tests, which pin the regex
-// strings so a refactor that drops or weakens one is caught here.
