test(handlers): add HTTP handler tests for GetA2AQueueStatus and PatchAbilities

GetA2AQueueStatus (9 cases):
- queue_id empty → 400 (via gin.CreateTestContext to bypass router)
- no identity, no org token → 404 (existence-non-inference policy)
- org token set → skips caller workspace check (authorized)
- caller workspace matches caller_id → 200
- caller workspace matches workspace_id → 200
- queue not found (sql.ErrNoRows) → 404
- queue auth-fields DB error → 500
- wrong caller workspace → 404 (IDOR collapsed to 404)
- status fetch DB error → 500
- full happy path → 200 with JSON body

PatchAbilities (11 cases):
- invalid workspace ID → 400
- invalid request body → 400
- no ability fields → 400
- workspace not found (ErrNoRows) → 404
- workspace not found (exists=false) → 404
- update broadcast_enabled=true → 200
- update talk_to_user_enabled=false → 200
- update both abilities → 200
- broadcast_enabled DB error → 500
- talk_to_user_enabled DB error → 500

-name: E2E Chat
-
-# Comprehensive Playwright E2E for the unified chat stack (desktop
-# ChatTab + mobile MobileChat). Runs on every PR that touches canvas,
-# workspace-server, or this workflow file.
-#
-# Architecture:
-#   1. Ephemeral Postgres + Redis (docker, unique container names)
-#   2. workspace-server built from source, started with
-#      MOLECULE_ENV=development (fail-open auth)
-#   3. canvas dev server (npm run dev) on :3000
-#   4. Playwright tests create workspaces via API, point them at an
-#      in-process echo runtime, and exercise the full send/receive
-#      round-trip through the browser.
-#
-# Parallel-safety: same pattern as e2e-api.yml — per-run container names
-# and ephemeral host ports so concurrent jobs on the host-network runner
-# don't collide.

-# WHY A DEDICATED WORKFLOW (not folded into e2e-staging-saas.yml)
-# --------------------------------------------------------------
-# This is the systemic fix for a real trust failure. Hermes and OpenClaw
-# were reported "fleet-verified / cascade-complete" because the *proxy*
-# signals were green (registry registration + heartbeat for Hermes; model
-# round-trip 200 for OpenClaw). A freshly-provisioned workspace asked on
-# canvas "can you see your peers" actually FAILS:
-#   - Hermes: 401 on the molecule MCP `list_peers` call
-#   - OpenClaw: native `sessions_list` fallback, sees no platform peers
-# Tasks #142/#159 were even marked "completed" under this proxy flaw.
-#
-# A dedicated workflow (vs extending e2e-staging-saas.yml) because:
-#   - It must provision MULTIPLE distinct runtimes (hermes, openclaw,
-#     claude-code) in ONE org and assert each sees the others. The
-#     full-saas script is single-runtime-per-run (E2E_RUNTIME) and folding
-#     a multi-runtime matrix into it would conflate concerns and bloat its
-#     already-45-min run.
-#   - It needs its own concurrency group so it doesn't fight full-saas /
-#     canvas for the staging org-creation quota.
-#   - It needs an independent, non-required status-context name so it can
-#     be RED today (the in-flight Hermes-401 / OpenClaw-MCP-wiring fixes
-#     have not landed) WITHOUT wedging unrelated merges — and flipped to
-#     REQUIRED in one branch-protection edit once it goes green
-#     (flip-to-required checklist: molecule-core#1296).
-#
-# THE ASSERTION IS NOT A PROXY. The driving script
-# tests/e2e/test_peer_visibility_mcp_staging.sh issues the byte-for-byte
-# JSON-RPC `tools/call name=list_peers` envelope to `POST
-# /workspaces/:id/mcp` using each workspace's OWN bearer token, through
-# the real WorkspaceAuth + MCPRateLimiter middleware chain — the exact
-# call mcp_molecule_list_peers makes from a canvas agent. It does NOT
-# read a registry row, /health, the heartbeat table, or
-# GET /registry/:id/peers.
-#
-# HONEST GATE — NO continue-on-error. Per feedback_fix_root_not_symptom a
-# fake-green mask would defeat the entire purpose. This workflow goes red
-# on today's broken behavior and green only when the root-cause fixes
-# actually land. It is intentionally NOT in branch_protections — see PR
-# body for the required-vs-not decision + flip tracking issue.
-#
-# Gitea 1.22.6 / act_runner notes honored:
-#   - No cross-repo `uses:` (feedback_gitea_cross_repo_uses_blocked). The
-#     actions/checkout SHA is the one e2e-staging-canvas.yml already uses
-#     successfully (a mirrored SHA — see #1277/PR#1292 root-cause).
-#   - Per-SHA concurrency, not global (feedback_concurrency_group_per_sha).
-#   - Workflow-level GITHUB_SERVER_URL pinned
-#     (feedback_act_runner_github_server_url).
-#   - pr-validate posts a status under the same check name so a
-#     workflow-only PR is not silently statusless and the context is
-#     flip-to-required-ready (mirrors e2e-staging-saas.yml's proven shape;
-#     real EC2-provisioning E2E is push/dispatch/cron only — it is 30+ min
-#     and cannot run per-PR-update).
-#
-# LOCAL BACKEND (added 2026-05-15 — feedback_local_must_mimic_production,
-# feedback_mandatory_local_e2e_before_ship, feedback_local_test_before_
-# staging_e2e)
-# --------------------------------------------------------------------
-# The standing rule is that the local prod-mimic stack runs a MANDATORY
-# local-Postgres E2E BEFORE staging E2E. A staging-only peer-visibility
-# gate caught regressions late + expensively (cold EC2). The
-# `peer-visibility-local` job below runs the SAME byte-identical
-# assertion (tests/e2e/lib/peer_visibility_assert.sh) against the local
-# docker-compose stack — built + booted exactly like e2e-api.yml's
-# proven E2E API Smoke Test job (ephemeral pg/redis ports, go build,
-# background platform-server). It runs on PR + push (local boot is
-# minutes, not the 30+ min cold-EC2 path), so peer-visibility is part of
-# the local gate that fires before the staging E2E.
-#
-# It is its OWN non-required status context `E2E Peer Visibility (local)`
-# — same non-required-by-design decision as the staging job (red until
-# Hermes-401 #162 / OpenClaw-never-online #165 land; flip-to-required
-# tracked at molecule-core#1296). It is an HONEST gate: NO
-# continue-on-error mask (feedback_fix_root_not_symptom). It is kept a
-# distinct context (not folded into e2e-api.yml's required `E2E API
-# Smoke Test`) precisely so a deliberately-RED-today gate cannot wedge
-# the required local-E2E job or any unrelated merge.

-# RFC#523 Layer 3 (task #146): scan workspace_secrets-writer Go code

-# operator-scope env var NAME (GITEA_TOKEN, CP_ADMIN_API_TOKEN,
-# RAILWAY_TOKEN, INFISICAL_OPERATOR_TOKEN, MOLECULE_OPERATOR_*, …).
-#
-# Catches the class "a new writer accidentally widens the propagation
-# set" — e.g. a future env-mutator plugin that sets envVars["GITEA_TOKEN"]
-# directly. Today the L1 runtime guard would abort the provision, but
-# this lint surfaces the offending code at PR review time instead of
-# at first provision attempt.
-#
-# Companion layers:
-#   - L1: workspace-server/internal/handlers/workspace_provision_forbidden_env.go
-#         (fail-closed abort at provision time)
-#   - L2: workspace/entrypoint.sh top-of-file env-grep + exit 1
-#
-# Open-source-template-friendly: the deny pattern is generic. A fork
-# can copy this workflow and replace OPERATOR_KEY_PATTERN with its

-# Path-filter discipline:
-#   This workflow runs on every PR (no paths: filter — see
-#   feedback_path_filtered_workflow_cant_be_required). The scan itself

+# Registry note (2026-05-10): This workflow previously used GHCR

+# (153263036946.dkr.ecr.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/molecule-ai/

+# this file, so canary-verify was silently smoke-testing the stale
+# GHCR image while the actual staging/prod tenants ran the ECR image.
+# Result: smoke tests could not catch a broken ECR build. Fix:
+#   - Wait step: reads SHA from running canary /health (tenant-

+# Why this workflow exists: publish-workspace-server-image builds and
+# pushes a new platform-tenant :<sha> to ECR on every merge to main,
+# but running tenants pulled their image once at boot and never re-pull.
+# Users see stale code indefinitely.
+#
+# This workflow closes the gap by calling the control-plane admin
+# endpoint that performs a canary-first, batched, health-gated rolling
+# redeploy across every live tenant. Implemented in molecule-ai/
+# molecule-controlplane as POST /cp/admin/tenants/redeploy-fleet
+# (feat/tenant-auto-redeploy, landing alongside this workflow).
+#
+# Registry: ECR (153263036946.dkr.ecr.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/
+# molecule-ai/platform-tenant). GHCR was retired 2026-05-07 during the
+# Gitea suspension migration. The canary-verify.yml promote step now
+# uses the same redeploy-fleet endpoint (fixes the silent-GHCR gap).
+#
+# Runtime ordering:
+#   1. publish-workspace-server-image completes → new :staging-<sha> in ECR.
+#   2. This workflow fires via workflow_run, calls redeploy-fleet with
+#      target_tag=staging-<sha>. No CDN propagation wait needed —
+#      ECR image manifest is consistent immediately after push.
+#   3. Calls redeploy-fleet with canary_slug (if set) and a soak

+
+# Auto-refresh staging tenant EC2s after every staging-branch merge.
+#
+# Mirror of redeploy-tenants-on-main.yml, with the staging-CP host and
+# the :staging-latest tag. Sister workflow exists for prod (rolls
+# :latest after canary-verify). Both share the same shape — just
+# different CP_URL + target_tag + admin token secret.
+#
+# Why this workflow exists: publish-workspace-server-image now builds
+# on every staging-branch push (PR #2335), pushing
+# platform-tenant:staging-latest to GHCR. Existing tenants pulled
+# their image once at boot and never re-pull, so the new image just
+# sits unused until the tenant is reprovisioned.
+#
+# This workflow closes the gap by calling staging-CP's
+# /cp/admin/tenants/redeploy-fleet, which performs a canary-first,
+# batched, health-gated SSM redeploy across every live staging tenant.
+# Same endpoint shape as prod CP — only the host differs.
+#
+# Runtime ordering:
+#   1. publish-workspace-server-image completes on staging branch →
+#      new :staging-latest in GHCR.
+#   2. This workflow fires via workflow_run, waits 30s for GHCR's CDN
+#      to propagate the new tag.
+#   3. Calls redeploy-fleet with no canary (staging IS canary; we don't
+#      need a sub-canary inside it). Soak still applies to the first
+#      tenant in case of bad-deploy detection.
+#   4. Any failure aborts the rollout and leaves older tenants on the
+#      prior image — safer default than half-and-half state.
+#
+# Rollback path: re-run with workflow_dispatch + target_tag=staging-<sha>
+# of a known-good build.

- *
- *  - 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.

-/**
- * ChatErrorBanner — error-state banner rendered under the chat
- * message list when an agent turn fails or the workspace is offline.
- *
- * internal#212 closes the "see workspace logs for details" pointer-to-
- * nowhere defect:
- *
- *   - The banner now renders the actionable, secret-safe failure
- *     reason that ws-server places on `ACTIVITY_LOGGED.error_detail`
- *     (provider HTTP status + error code + provider's own human
- *     message). The hook (`useChatSocket`) forwards this through
- *     `onSendError`, which the ChatTab routes into this banner's
- *     `message` prop. No hardcoded opaque text in this component.
- *
- *   - A "View activity log" button navigates the user to the Activity
- *     tab where the full row (request body, response body, timing,
- *     full error_detail) lives. Until internal#212, the banner
- *     mentioned "workspace logs" with no link — there is no separate
- *     Logs tab in the side panel; the Activity tab IS the workspace-
- *     logs surface. Routing through the existing tab makes the
- *     reference real instead of dangling.
- *
- *   - The existing Restart button (shown only when the workspace is
- *     offline) is preserved unchanged so the recovery affordance the
- *     old banner offered does not regress.
- *
- * Pure presentational — no socket subscription, no state machine. Easy
- * to unit-test in isolation and easy to compose into the ChatTab.
