fix(ci): pin publish workflows to docker-capable runners

Re-apply the fix from #599 with the prerequisite now satisfied:
molecule-ai/operator-config PR #30 registers the `docker` label on
all act_runners that mount /var/run/docker.sock.

Restore:
  runs-on: [ubuntu-latest, docker]

This routes publish-workspace-server-image and publish-canvas-image
jobs exclusively to runners where Docker daemon access is confirmed.
Eliminates the coin-flip failure mode where jobs land on socket-less
runners and fail at the Docker health check step.

PREREQUISITE: operator host must be rolled to pick up the updated
runner config before merging this PR. See internal#711.

Reverts: infra/revert-docker-runner-label (3206966e)
Closes: molecule-core#711

+"""lint-required-no-paths — structural enforcement of
+`feedback_path_filtered_workflow_cant_be_required`.
+
+For every workflow whose status-check context appears in
+`branch_protections/<branch>.status_check_contexts`, assert that the
+workflow's `on:` block has NO `paths:` and NO `paths-ignore:` filter.
+
+A required-check workflow with a paths filter silently degrades the
+merge gate:
+
+  - If the PR's diff doesn't match the `paths:` glob, the workflow
+    never fires.
+  - Gitea (1.22.6) reports the required context as `pending` (never as
+    `skipped == success`), so the PR cannot merge.
+  - For a docs-only PR against `paths: ['**.go']`, the PR is
+    blocked forever — no human action can produce a green.
+
+The class was previously prevented only by reviewer vigilance + the
+saved memory `feedback_path_filtered_workflow_cant_be_required`. This
+script makes it a hard CI gate so a future PR adding `paths:` to a
+required workflow fails fast at PR time, not after merge when the next
+docs PR wedges main.
+
+The lint runs as `.gitea/workflows/lint-required-no-paths.yml` on every
+PR. The lint workflow ITSELF must not have a paths-filter (otherwise it
+could be circumvented by a paths-non-matching PR) — that's enforced by
+self-reference and by the workflow's own `on:` block deliberately
+omitting filters.
+
+Sources of truth:
+  - `branch_protections/<branch>` `status_check_contexts` (the merge gate)
+  - `.gitea/workflows/*.yml` `name:` + `on:` (the workflow set)
+
+Context-format note (Gitea 1.22.6):
+  Status-check contexts are formatted `{workflow_name} / {job_name_or_key} ({event})`.
+  We parse the workflow_name prefix and walk `.gitea/workflows/*.yml` for
+  a file whose `name:` attr matches. (The filename is NOT the source of
+  truth; `name:` is, because Gitea formats the context from `name:`.)
+
+Exit codes:
+  0 — no required workflow has a paths/paths-ignore filter (clean) OR
+      branch_protections endpoint returned 403/404 (token-scope issue;
+      surfaced via ::error:: but non-fatal so a missing scope doesn't
+      red-X every PR — fix the token, not the lint).
+  1 — at least one required workflow has a paths/paths-ignore filter
+      (the gate-degrading defect class).
+  2 — env contract violation (missing GITEA_TOKEN/HOST/REPO/BRANCH).
+  3 — workflows directory missing or workflow YAML unparseable.
+  4 — protection response shape unexpected (non-dict body on 2xx).
+
+Auth note: `GET /repos/.../branch_protections/{branch}` requires
+repo-admin role in Gitea 1.22.6. The workflow-default `GITHUB_TOKEN`
+is non-admin; we re-use `DRIFT_BOT_TOKEN` (same persona that powers
+ci-required-drift.yml). If `DRIFT_BOT_TOKEN` is unavailable in a future
+context, the script falls through gracefully (exit 0 + ::error::).

+"""lint-workflow-yaml — catch Gitea-1.22.6-hostile workflow YAML shapes.
+
+This script enforces six structural rules that have historically caused
+silent CI failures on Gitea Actions (1.22.6) — workflows that the server's
+YAML parser rejects with `[W] ignore invalid workflow ...` and registers
+for zero events, or shape conventions that produce ambiguous status
+contexts. Each rule maps to a documented incident in saved memory.
+
+Rules (4 fatal + 1 fatal cross-file + 1 heuristic-warn):
+  1. `workflow_dispatch.inputs:` block — Gitea 1.22.6 mis-parses the
+     `inputs` keys as sibling event types and rejects the whole file.
+     Memory: feedback_gitea_workflow_dispatch_inputs_unsupported.
+     Origin: 2026-05-11 PyPI freeze (publish-runtime).
+  2. `on: workflow_run:` event — not enumerated in Gitea 1.22.6's
+     supported event list (verified via modules/actions/workflows.go
+     enumeration; task #81). Workflow registers, fires for 0 events.
+  3. `name:` containing `/` — breaks the
+     `<workflow> / <job> (<event>)` commit-status context convention;
+     downstream parsers (sop-tier-check, status-reaper) tokenize on `/`.
+  4. `name:` collision across files — Gitea routes commit-status updates
+     by `name` and behavior on collision is undefined (status-reaper
+     rev1 fail-loud).
+  5. Cross-repo `uses: org/repo/path@ref` — blocked while
+     `[actions].DEFAULT_ACTIONS_URL=github` is the server default;
+     resolves to github.com/<org-suspended>/... and 404s.
+     Memory: feedback_gitea_cross_repo_uses_blocked. Cross-link: task #109.
+  6. (HEURISTIC, warn-not-fail) Steps reference `https://api.github.com`
+     or `https://github.com/.../releases/download` without a
+     workflow-level `env.GITHUB_SERVER_URL` set to the Gitea instance.
+     Memory: feedback_act_runner_github_server_url.
+
+Per `feedback_smoke_test_vendor_truth_not_shape_match`: fixtures used to
+validate this lint must mirror real Gitea 1.22.6 YAML semantics, not
+Python yaml-parser quirks. The test suite at tests/test_lint_workflow_yaml.py
+includes a vendor-truth fixture (the exact publish-runtime regression).
+
+Usage:
+  python3 .gitea/scripts/lint-workflow-yaml.py
+    Lint every `*.yml` in `.gitea/workflows/`.
+
+  python3 .gitea/scripts/lint-workflow-yaml.py --workflow-dir <path>
+    Lint a custom directory (used by tests/test_lint_workflow_yaml.py).
+
+Exit codes:
+  0 — clean OR only heuristic-warnings emitted.
+  1 — at least one fatal rule (1-5) violated.
+  2 — YAML parse error or argv usage error.

+detected because we walk the parsed structure.
+
+Why this works on Gitea 1.22.6
+------------------------------
+We don't use any 1.22.6-missing endpoints (no `/actions/runs/*`, no
+`branch_protections/*` — Tier 2f/g need those; Tier 2d does not). All
+required inputs come from the workflow `pull_request` event payload
+(BASE_SHA, HEAD_SHA, PR_BODY) and from local git via `git show`/`git log`.
+The auto-injected `GITHUB_TOKEN` is enough; we don't need
+DRIFT_BOT_TOKEN.
+
+Exit codes
+----------
+  0 — ci.yml not in diff, OR diff is no-op for the rule predicates,
+      OR atomicity satisfied (both touched), OR a valid `Paired: #NNN`
+      reference is present.
+  1 — exactly ONE of {coe, sentinel-needs} touched AND no valid
+      `Paired: #NNN` reference. The split-pair regression class.
+  2 — env contract violation (BASE_SHA / HEAD_SHA missing) or YAML
+      parse error on either side.
+
+Env

+#   2. GET /repos/{R}/pulls/{N}          — author, head.sha, tier label
+#   3. GET /repos/{R}/issues/{N}/comments — extract /sop-ack and /sop-revoke
+#   4. For each checklist item:
+#        a. Is the section marker present in PR body? (author answered)
+#        b. Is there ≥1 unrevoked /sop-ack from a non-author whose
+#           team-membership matches required_teams?
+#   5. POST /repos/{R}/statuses/{sha}    — context
+#      `sop-checklist / all-items-acked (pull_request)`,
+#      state=success | failure | pending, description=`acked: N/M …`.
+#
+# Trust boundary (mirrors RFC#324 §A4):
+#   This script is loaded from the BASE branch. The workflow's
+#   actions/checkout step pins ref=base.sha. PR-HEAD code is never
+#   executed. We only HTTP-call the Gitea API.
+#
+# Token scope:
+#   - read:repository / read:organization to enumerate PR + comments
+#     + team membership (Gitea 1.22.6 quirk: team-membership endpoint
+#     returns 403 if token owner is not in the team; see review-check.sh
+#     for the same gotcha — we surface the same fail-closed message).
+#   - write:repository for `POST /repos/{R}/statuses/{sha}`. Unlike
+#     RFC#324's pattern (which uses the JOB's own pass/fail as the
+#     status), we POST the status explicitly because the gate posts
+#     a single multi-item status with a richer description than a
+#     bare success/failure context can carry.
+#
+# Slug normalization rules (canonical form: kebab-case):
+#   - Lowercase
+#   - Whitespace + underscores → single dash
+#   - Strip non [a-z0-9-] characters
+#   - Collapse adjacent dashes
+#   - Strip leading/trailing dashes
+#   - If the result is a digit string (e.g. "1"), look up via
+#     config.items[*].numeric_alias to get the kebab-case slug.
+#
+#   Examples:
+#       "Comprehensive_Testing"  → "comprehensive-testing"
+#       "comprehensive testing"  → "comprehensive-testing"
+#       "1"                      → "comprehensive-testing"
+#       "Five-Axis-Review"       → "five-axis-review"
+#
+# Revoke semantics:
+#   /sop-revoke <slug> [reason] — most-recent comment per (slug, user)
+#   wins. So if Alice posts /sop-ack X then later /sop-revoke X, her ack
+#   for X is invalidated. Bob's prior /sop-ack X is unaffected. If Alice
+#   posts /sop-revoke X then later /sop-ack X again, the ack is restored.

+# RFC#351 Step 2 of 6 — implementation MVP. Tests cover:
+#   - slug normalization (the 4 example variants in the script header)
+#   - parse_directives (ack, revoke, with/without note, mid-comment, etc.)
+#   - section_marker_present (empty answer rejected, filled answer ok)
+#   - compute_ack_state (self-ack rejected, team probe applied, revoke
+#     invalidates own prior ack, peer's ack survives unrevoked)
+#   - render_status (state + description format)
+#   - get_tier_mode (label-driven, default fallback)
+#   - load_config (default config parses cleanly with both PyYAML and
+#     the bundled minimal parser)
+#
+# All tests run WITHOUT touching the Gitea API — the team-probe

+#   slug              — canonical kebab-case form used in /sop-ack <slug>
+#   pr_section_marker — substring matched in the PR body to detect that
+#                       the author filled in this item (case-insensitive)
+#   required_teams    — list of Gitea team names; an ack from ANY one of
+#                       these teams (logical OR) satisfies the item.
+#                       Membership is probed at gate-time via
+#                       GET /api/v1/teams/{id}/members/{login}.
+#                       Team-id resolution happens at script start via
+#                       GET /api/v1/orgs/{org}/teams (cheap, one call).
+#   numeric_alias     — 1..7; lets reviewers type `/sop-ack 3` as a
+#                       shortcut for `/sop-ack staging-smoke`.
+#
+# WHY THESE TEAM MAPPINGS:
+#   The RFC table referenced persona-role names like `core-qa`,
+#   `core-be`, `core-devops` — these are individual Gitea user logins,
+#   not teams. The Gitea team-membership API is /teams/{id}/members/{u},
+#   so we need actual teams. Orchestrator preflight 2026-05-12 verified
+#   only these teams exist on molecule-ai: ceo(5), engineers(2),
+#   managers(6), qa(20), security(21), Owners(1), and bot teams. We
+#   map the RFC roles to the closest existing team and surface the
+#   mapping explicitly so it's reviewable.
+#
+# HOW TO EDIT:
+#   - Tightening: replace `engineers` with a smaller team after creating
+#     it (e.g. a new `senior-engineers` team if needed).
+#   - Loosening: add another team to required_teams (OR semantics).
+#   - Add an item: append to items list and document the slug below.
+#
+# AUTHOR SELF-ACK IS FORBIDDEN regardless of which team contains them
+# — the gate script enforces commenter != PR author before checking
+# team membership.

+# Tier 2d hard-gate lint (per internal#350) — blocks PRs that touch
+# `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml` and modify ONLY ONE of {continue-on-error,
+# all-required.sentinel.needs} without a `Paired: #NNN` reference in
+# the PR body or in a commit message.
+#
+# Why this exists
+# ---------------
+# PR#665 (interim `continue-on-error: true` on `platform-build`) and
+# PR#668 (sentinel-`needs` demotion of the same job) were designed as a
+# pair but merged solo — #665 landed at 04:47Z 2026-05-12, #668 was
+# still open at 05:07Z when the main-red watchdog (#674) fired. Result:
+# ~20 minutes of `main` red and a cascade of false-positives on
+# unrelated PRs. This lint structurally prevents that class.
+#
+# How the gate works
+# ------------------
+# 1. The workflow runs on every PR whose diff touches ci.yml (paths
+#    filter). It is NOT a required check on `main` because the rule is
+#    diff-based — running it on PRs that don't touch ci.yml would
+#    produce a `pending` status forever (per
+#    `feedback_path_filtered_workflow_cant_be_required`).
+# 2. The script reads `BASE_SHA:ci.yml` and `HEAD_SHA:ci.yml`, parses
+#    both via PyYAML AST (per `feedback_behavior_based_ast_gates` — no
+#    grep, no regex on the raw text — so a YAML-shape refactor still
+#    detects).
+# 3. Walks `jobs.*.continue-on-error` on each side; flags any value
+#    diff. Reads `jobs.all-required.needs` on each side; flags any
+#    set diff (order-insensitive — `needs:` is engine-unordered).
+# 4. If both predicates fired → atomic, OK. If neither → no risk, OK.
+#    If exactly one fired → require `Paired: #NNN` in PR body OR in
+#    any commit message between base..head; else fail.
+#
+# Phase contract (RFC internal#219 §1 ladder)
+# -------------------------------------------
+# This workflow lands at `continue-on-error: true` (Phase 3 — surface
+# regressions without blocking PRs while the rule beds in).
+# Follow-up PR flips to `false` once we have ≥3 days of clean runs on
+# `main` and no false-positives. Tracking issue: internal#350.

+#   merge gate. If a PR's diff doesn't touch the filter, the workflow
+#   never fires; Gitea (1.22.6) reports the required context as
+#   `pending` (NOT `skipped == success`), so the PR cannot merge. For a
+#   docs-only PR against `paths: ['**.go']`, the PR is wedged forever.
+#
+#   Previously prevented only by reviewer vigilance + the saved memory
+#   `feedback_path_filtered_workflow_cant_be_required`. This workflow
+#   makes it a hard CI gate.
+#
+# Forward-compat scope:
+#   Today (2026-05-11) molecule-core/main protects 3 contexts:
+#     - "Secret scan / Scan diff for credential-shaped strings (pull_request)"
+#     - "sop-tier-check / tier-check (pull_request)"
+#     - "CI / all-required (pull_request)"
+#   Per RFC#324 Step 2 the required-list expands to ~5 contexts
+#   (qa-review, security-review added). Each new required context's
+#   workflow must remain unconditional. This lint pins that contract.
+#
+# Meta-required-check:
+#   This workflow ITSELF deliberately has NO `paths:` filter on its `on:`
+#   block — otherwise a paths-non-matching PR could bypass the check.
+#   Self-evident from this file: only `pull_request` types + no paths.
+#
+# Auth:
+#   `GET /repos/.../branch_protections/{branch}` requires repo-admin
+#   role in Gitea 1.22.6. The workflow-default `GITHUB_TOKEN` is
+#   non-admin (read-only), so we re-use `DRIFT_BOT_TOKEN` (same persona
+#   that powers `ci-required-drift.yml` — verified working there).
+#   If `DRIFT_BOT_TOKEN` becomes unavailable, the script exits 0 with a
+#   loud `::error::` rather than red-X every PR — token-scope issues
+#   should be fixed at the token, not surfaced as a gate failure on
+#   every unrelated PR.
+#
+# Behavior-based gate per `feedback_behavior_based_ast_gates`:
+#   YAML AST walk (PyYAML), NOT grep. Workflow renames, formatting
+#   changes (block-scalar vs flow-style), or moving `paths:` between
+#   `pull_request:` and `pull_request_target:` all still detect.
+#
+# IMPORTANT — Gitea 1.22.6 parser quirk per
+# `feedback_gitea_workflow_dispatch_inputs_unsupported`: do NOT add an
+# `inputs:` block to `workflow_dispatch:` — Gitea 1.22.6 rejects the
+# entire workflow as "unknown on type" and it registers for ZERO events.

+# sop-checklist-gate — peer-ack merge gate for SOP-checklist items.
+#
+# RFC#351 Step 2 of 6 (implementation MVP).
+#
+# === DESIGN ===
+#
+# Goal: each PR must answer 7 SOP-checklist questions in its body,
+# and each item must have at least one /sop-ack <slug> comment from
+# a non-author peer in the required team. BP requires the
+# `sop-checklist / all-items-acked (pull_request)` status to merge.
+#
+# Triggers:
+#   - `pull_request_target`: opened, edited, synchronize, reopened
+#       → fires when PR opens, body is edited (refire — RFC#351 §4),
+#         or new code is pushed (head.sha changes → stale status would
+#         be auto-discarded by BP via dismiss_stale_reviews, but the
+#         status itself is per-SHA so we re-post on the new head).
+#   - `issue_comment`: created, edited, deleted
+#       → fires on any new comment so /sop-ack / /sop-revoke take
+#         effect immediately (Gitea 1.22.6 doesn't refire on
+#         pull_request_review per feedback_pull_request_review_no_refire,
+#         so issue_comment is the canonical refire channel).
+#
+# Trust boundary (mirrors RFC#324 §A4 + sop-tier-check security note):
+#   `pull_request_target` (not `pull_request`) — workflow def is loaded
+#   from BASE branch, so a PR cannot rewrite this workflow to exfiltrate
+#   the token. The `actions/checkout` step pins `ref: base.sha` so the
+#   script ALSO comes from BASE. PR-HEAD code is never executed in the
+#   runner.
+#
+# Token scope:
+#   - read:repository, read:organization for PR + comments + team probes
+#   - write:repository for POST /statuses/{sha}
+#   - The token owner MUST be a member of every team referenced by the
+#     config's required_teams (else /teams/{id}/members/{login} returns
+#     403 — see review-check.sh same-gotcha doc). For the MVP we use
+#     the dev-lead token (a member of engineers, managers, qa, security)
+#     via a repo secret `SOP_CHECKLIST_GATE_TOKEN`. Provisioning of that
+#     secret is a follow-up authorization step (separate from this PR).
+#
+# Failure mode: tier-aware (RFC#351 open question 2):
+#   - tier:high   → state=failure (hard-fail; BP blocks merge)
+#   - tier:medium → state=failure (hard-fail; same)
+#   - tier:low    → state=pending (soft-fail; BP can choose to require
+#                    this context or skip for low-tier PRs)
+#   - missing/no-tier → state=failure (default-mode: hard — never lower
+#                    the bar per feedback_fix_root_not_symptom)
+#
+# Slash-command contract (RFC#351 v1 + §A1.1-style notes from RFC#324):
+#
+#   /sop-ack <slug-or-numeric-alias> [optional note]
+#       — register a peer-ack for one checklist item.
+#       — slug accepts kebab-case, snake_case, or natural-spaces
+#         (all normalize to canonical kebab-case).
+#       — numeric 1..7 maps via config.items[*].numeric_alias.
+#       — most-recent (user, slug) directive wins.
+#
+#   /sop-revoke <slug-or-numeric-alias> [reason]
+#       — invalidate the commenter's own prior /sop-ack for this slug.
+#       — does NOT affect other peers' acks on the same slug.
+#       — most-recent (user, slug) directive wins, so a later /sop-ack
+#         re-restores the ack.
+#
+# The eval is read-only + idempotent (read PR + comments + team
+# membership, compute, post status). Re-running on any event is safe —

+ * Tests for DetailsTab — workspace detail panel with editable fields,
+ * delete/restart workflows, peers list, error display, and section
+ * composition.
+ *
+ * Covers:
+ *   - View mode: all rows rendered (name, role, tier, status, URL, etc.)
+ *   - Edit mode: name/role/tier fields become editable
+ *   - Save workflow: calls PATCH and updates store
+ *   - Cancel: reverts fields to original data
+ *   - Delete: two-step confirm (confirm button shows alertdialog)
+ *   - Delete confirm: calls DELETE and removes node from store
+ *   - Restart button: calls POST /restart for failed/degraded/offline
+ *   - Error section: shown for failed/degraded with lastSampleError
+ *   - Skills section: rendered when agentCard has skills
+ *   - Peers section: loads and displays peer list
+ *   - Peers section: empty state when offline
+ *   - ConsoleModal: opens/closes via button click

+## Quirk #10 — Gitea does NOT auto-populate `secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN`
+
+### Finding
+
+Gitea Actions (1.22.6) does **not** auto-populate `secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN`
+the way GitHub Actions does. A workflow that references `secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN`
+without explicitly provisioning a named secret gets an empty string — not a
+read-only token scoped to the repo.
+
+### Impact
+
+Workflows that call the Gitea REST API using `secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN` as auth
+receive **HTTP 401** on every API call. Affected workflows in molecule-core:
+
+| Workflow | Symptom | Workaround |
+|---|---|---|
+| `gate-check-v3.yml` | Reports BLOCKED on every PR | Provision `SOP_TIER_CHECK_TOKEN`; update workflow to use it |
+| `qa-review.yml` | Fails immediately on PR open | Same — needs named secret |
+| `security-review.yml` | Fails immediately on PR open | Same — needs named secret |
+
+### How to diagnose
+
+Add a debug step to the failing workflow:
+
+```yaml
+- name: Diagnose token
+  run: |
+    echo "Token present: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN != '' }}"
+    curl -sS --fail -H "Authorization: token ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}" \
+      "$GITHUB_SERVER_URL/api/v1/user" | jq -r '.login'
+    # Expected (GitHub): prints your username.
+    # Actual (Gitea): HTTP 401 or empty string.
+```

+## Quirk #11 — PR-create event dispatcher races — only 1 of N workflows fires on `pull_request opened`
+
+### Finding
+
+When a PR is created via the Gitea web UI or API, the Gitea Actions event
+dispatcher may fire **only 1 of N eligible workflows** on the initial
+`pull_request opened` event. All other eligible workflows are silently dropped.
+
+This was observed on molecule-core PR #558 (created 2026-05-11T19:54:10Z):
+12+ workflows had no `paths:` filter and should have fired, but only
+`sop-tier-check.yml` dispatched.
+
+Concurrent PRs created within the same minute received 12–30 dispatches each,
+confirming this is specific to the PR-create event dispatch, not a general
+runner capacity issue.
+
+### Impact
+
+- PRs may not run the full CI suite on first open.
+- `gate-check-v3`, `secret-scan`, `qa-review`, and `security-review` can be
+  silently absent from the PR's status checks.
+- Branch protection may block merge even though CI is effectively green.
+
+### How to diagnose
+
+```bash
+# List workflow runs for the PR:
+gh run list --event pull_request --repo molecule-ai/molecule-core \
+  | grep "$(gh pr view $PR --json number --jq '.number')"
+
+# Expected: 12+ runs on PR open.
+# Actual (when race fires): only 1 run.
+```
+
+### Workaround
+
+Force a second dispatch by pushing a no-op synchronize commit:
+
+```bash
+git commit --allow-empty -m "chore: trigger workflows [skip ci]"
+git push
+```
+
+The synchronize event fires a second `pull_request` event, which reliably
+triggers all eligible workflows.

+
+  - Touch both atomically in the same PR (preferred), OR
+  - Cross-link to the paired PR via `Paired: #NNN` in body OR a commit
+    message.
+
+The class this lint exists to prevent: PR#665 (interim
+continue-on-error: true on platform-build) + PR#668 (sentinel-exempt)
+were designed-as-a-pair but merged solo — #665 landed at 04:47Z, #668
+still open at 05:07Z when the watchdog fired. ~20 min of main red.
+
+Test classes (per `feedback_branch_count_before_approving`, every
+prod branch enumerated):
+
+  - test_diff_touches_neither_passes              — diff is in ci.yml
+    but neither continue-on-error nor all-required.needs is touched.
+    PR is exempt. Exit 0.
+  - test_diff_touches_both_atomically_passes      — both touched in

+    flipped without sentinel-needs change AND no `Paired: #NNN`
+    reference anywhere. Exit 1.
+  - test_diff_touches_needs_only_no_pair_fails    — sentinel `needs:`
+    changed without `continue-on-error` change AND no pair reference.
+    Exit 1.
+  - test_diff_touches_coe_only_pair_in_body       — coe changed, no

+  - test_paired_reference_must_be_numeric         — `Paired: #abc` or

+  - test_ci_yml_unchanged_skips                   — no ci.yml in the

+The lint receives base SHA + head SHA via env (set by the workflow

+"""Tests for `.gitea/scripts/lint-required-no-paths.py`.
+
+Structural enforcement of `feedback_path_filtered_workflow_cant_be_required`:
+no workflow whose status-check context is in `branch_protections/main`
+`status_check_contexts` may use `paths:` or `paths-ignore:` filters in its
+`on:` block. A path-filtered workflow silently does not fire on a PR whose
+diff doesn't touch the filter — Gitea treats that as `pending` forever,
+not `skipped`-as-`success`, so the gate degrades to an indefinite block.
+Worse, a docs-only PR could never satisfy a required check whose filter
+excludes docs paths, and the protected branch becomes unreachable.
+
+Five test classes:
+  - test_no_required_workflows_succeeds — empty status_check_contexts → exit 0
+  - test_required_workflow_no_paths_passes — required workflow with no
+    paths filter → exit 0
+  - test_required_workflow_with_paths_filter_fails — required workflow
+    with `paths: ['**.go']` → exit 1, error names workflow
+  - test_required_workflow_with_paths_ignore_fails — same shape for
+    `paths-ignore`
+  - test_unknown_required_context_warns_not_fails — context whose
+    workflow file is missing → warn, do NOT fail (graceful — could be a
+    cross-repo context name or a workflow renamed mid-PR; the lint is for
+    paths-filter detection, not orphaned-context detection — that's
+    ci-required-drift's job)
+
+Also covers the workflow-name → file-path mapping (parses the
+`<workflow_name> / <job_name> (<event>)` context format) and the
+multi-event `on:` block edge cases (paths under `on.push` vs `on.pull_request`
+vs top-level `on.paths`).
+
+Run:
+    python3 -m pytest tests/test_lint_required_no_paths.py -v
+
+Dependencies: stdlib + PyYAML (already required by the script itself).
+No network. No live Gitea calls — `api()` is stubbed.
