-# PRs where a gate genuinely does not apply (e.g., pure-infra with no
-# qa surface, or docs-only) can be declared N/A by a non-author peer
-# who is in one of the gate's required_teams. The sop-checklist
-# posts a `sop-checklist / na-declarations (pull_request)` status that
-# review-check.sh reads to skip the Gitea-APPROVE requirement.
-#
-# Usage: any PR commenter (peer) posts:
-#   /sop-n/a qa-review  <reason>
-#   /sop-n/a security-review  <reason>
-#
-# Slash commands:
-#   /sop-n/a <gate> [reason] — declare gate N/A (most-recent per-user wins)
-#   /sop-revoke <gate>      — revoke prior N/A declaration for that gate
-#
-# Gate names must match the context strings used by review-check.sh:
-#   qa-review      → qa-review / approved (<event>)        [TEAM_ID=20]
-#   security-review → security-review / approved (<event>)  [TEAM_ID=21]

-name: MCP Stdio Transport Regression
-
-# Regression test for molecule-ai-workspace-runtime#61:
-# asyncio.connect_read_pipe / connect_write_pipe fail with
-# ValueError: "Pipe transport is only for pipes, sockets and character devices"
-# when stdout is a regular file (openclaw capture, CI tee, debugging).
-#
-# This workflow reproduces the exact failure mode and verifies the
-# fallback to direct buffer I/O works. It runs on every PR that
-# touches the MCP server or this workflow, plus nightly cron.
-#
-# Why a separate workflow (not folded into ci.yml python-lint):
-#   - The test needs to spawn the MCP server with stdout redirected
-#     to a regular file (not a TTY/pipe), which conflicts with
-#     pytest's own capture mechanism.
-#   - It exercises the actual process spawn path (python a2a_mcp_server.py)
-#     not just unit-test mocks — closer to the real openclaw integration.
-#   - A dedicated workflow surfaces stdio-specific regressions without
-#     coupling to the broader Python test suite's coverage gate.

-# Comprehensive Playwright E2E for the unified chat stack (desktop

-#
-# 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.

+# Users see stale code indefinitely.

+# 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.
