docs(readme): remove duplicate trailing heading

structure.

Addresses review feedback on PR #1837.

-# 2026-05-27 "Distribution = SDK via codegen + verify-CI", multi-repo branch:
-# "codegen-checked-into-each-repo + verify-CI").
-#
-# The canonical provider-registry SSOT is molecule-controlplane
-# internal/providers/providers.yaml. molecule-core has NO Go module dependency
-# on controlplane, so instead of importing it we carry a SYNCED COPY at
-# workspace-server/internal/providers/providers.yaml and gate it.
-#
-# This workflow fetches the canonical providers.yaml from controlplane (via the
-# Gitea raw endpoint, read-only) and byte-compares it against core's synced
-# copy. RED if they differ — meaning the canonical moved and core's copy must be
-# re-synced (copy verbatim + `go generate ./...` + bump
-# canonicalProvidersYAMLSHA256 in sync_canonical_test.go).
-#
-# Pairs with:
-#   * sync_canonical_test.go — hermetic sha pin (catches a hand-edit of core's
-#     copy even with no network); runs in the normal `go test ./...`.
-#   * verify-providers-gen.yml — artifact ↔ synced-copy drift.
-#
-# ENFORCEMENT GATING: standalone workflow, NOT a job in ci.yml and NOT in
-# branch protection (same soak-then-promote posture as verify-providers-gen).
-# It is intentionally absent from ci.yml's job set so the ci-required-drift
-# sentinel does not fire on it.
-#
-# AUTH: uses AUTO_SYNC_TOKEN (the existing cross-repo read token used to sync
-# template/provider content from sibling repos). If the secret is absent the
-# job emits a clear ::warning:: and exits 0 — the hermetic sha pin in
-# sync_canonical_test.go is the always-on backstop, so a missing cross-repo
-# token degrades to "hand-edit still caught, live canonical drift not caught"

-# Provider-registry SSOT enforcement gate — molecule-core side (internal#718

-#
-# The canonical schema SSOT is molecule-controlplane
-# internal/providers/providers.yaml. molecule-core carries a SYNCED COPY at
-# workspace-server/internal/providers/providers.yaml (kept in sync by the
-# companion sync-providers-yaml.yml gate), and cmd/gen-providers emits the
-# checked-in Go projection workspace-server/internal/providers/gen/registry_gen.go.
-#
-# This workflow regenerates the artifact into the working tree and fails RED if
-# it differs from what is committed — catching BOTH:
-#   * a providers.yaml (synced-copy) change that wasn't followed by `go generate ./...`, and
-#   * a hand-edit of the generated artifact (it carries a DO NOT EDIT header).
-#
-# It is the molecule-core mirror of molecule-controlplane's verify-providers-gen
-# workflow. Together with sync-providers-yaml (canonical↔synced-copy drift) it
-# closes the codegen-checked-into-each-repo + verify-CI loop the RFC mandates.
-#
-# ENFORCEMENT GATING (deliberate, per dev-SOP "implementation gating"):
-# this is a STANDALONE workflow, NOT a job inside ci.yml, and is NOT yet in any
-# branch-protection status_check_contexts. Rationale (identical to the CP P0
-# rollout):
-#   * It runs + reports RED on every PR/push immediately (visible signal).
-#   * It is intentionally absent from ci.yml's job set so the ci-required-drift
-#     sentinel (jobs ↔ branch-protection ↔ audit-env) does NOT fire on it, and
-#     from branch protection (turning it into a hard merge gate has blast radius
-#     — operator GO required, same pattern as sop-tier-check / verify-providers-gen
-#     on controlplane). Promote it into branch protection in a follow-up once
-#     P2 has soaked.
-# Until then it behaves like secret-scan / block-internal-paths: a standalone

-// internal#718 P4 closure — ConfigTab.provider.test.tsx is retired.
+// Regression tests for ConfigTab Provider override (Option B PR-5).
 //
-// This 574-line suite exercised the canvas-side LLM provider override
-// flow: load the existing override from GET /workspaces/:id/provider,
-// edit the dropdown, Save → PUT /workspaces/:id/provider, and the
-// provider→billing_mode linkage on Save. All three server endpoints
-// behind those flows are retired in internal#718 P4 closure:
+// What this pins: a free-text Provider combobox in the Runtime section
+// that lets the operator override the model→provider derivation hermes-
+// agent does internally. Without this UI, a fresh signup whose Hermes
+// workspace defaults to a model with no clean vendor prefix (e.g.
+// `nousresearch/hermes-4-70b`) hits the runtime's own preflight error:
+//   "No LLM provider configured. Run `hermes model` to select a
+//    provider, or run `hermes setup` for first-time configuration."
+// — even though tasks #195-198 wired the entire downstream pipe so a
+// non-empty provider WOULD flow through canvas → workspace-server →
+// CP user-data → workspace config.yaml → hermes adapter.
 //
-//   - workspace-server SetProvider / GetProvider (PUT/GET
-//     /workspaces/:id/provider) → both return 410 Gone with a
-//     PROVIDER_ENDPOINT_RETIRED structured body.
-//   - workspace-server setProviderSecret (the writer into
-//     workspace_secrets.LLM_PROVIDER) — removed; row never written.
-//   - The LLM_PROVIDER workspace_secret itself — migrated away in
-//     20260528000000_drop_llm_provider_workspace_secret.up.sql.
+// Hongming Wang hit this on hongming.moleculesai.app at signup
+// 2026-05-01T17:35Z. Backend PRs were green, the gap was the missing
+// UI to set the value.
 //
-// ConfigTab still renders the provider dropdown for display (the user
-// can preview the derived provider locally), but Save no longer
-// round-trips the value. The replacement contract is that the provider
-// is DERIVED at every decision point from (runtime, model) via the
-// registry — see internal/providers/derive_provider.go.
-//
-// The original suite's coverage is replaced by:
-//
-//   - workspace-server: TestPutProvider_410Gone +
-//     TestGetProvider_410Gone + TestProviderEndpointGone_BodyShape in
-//     internal/handlers/llm_provider_removal_p4_test.go.
-//   - workspace-server: TestWorkspaceCreate_FirstDeploy_OnlyPersistsMODEL
-//     in internal/handlers/workspace_provision_shared_test.go.
-//   - registry: TestDeriveProvider_RealManifest in
-//     internal/providers/derive_provider_test.go.
-//
-// Restore from git history if any aspect of the legacy LLM_PROVIDER
-// flow needs to be revisited (it should not — the retirement is
-// permanent).
+// Each test pins one invariant. If any fails, the bug is back.

-//   GET /admin/workspaces/:id/llm-billing-mode   — read resolution
-//   PUT /admin/workspaces/:id/llm-billing-mode   — write {mode: "..."|null}
