docs(local-e2e): reference runtime PR #46 for canary mode source

The canary short-circuit was moved from molecule-core/workspace/
(deleted in main via 9aa47643) to molecule-ai-workspace-runtime
(molecule_runtime/a2a_executor.py). Update docker-compose comment
so engineers can find the live code.

+      Real failures show `"Failing after Ns"` and are unaffected.
+      This is option B from mc#1564 (description-string filter, no

+      with Gitea; if a future release renames it, the cancel-cascade

+
+# 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.

+name: Lint no tenant GITEA or GITHUB token write
+
+# Task #146 — CI guardrail companion to RFC#523's `lint-forbidden-env-keys.yml`.
+#
+# `lint-forbidden-env-keys.yml` (Layer 3) catches code that hardcodes a
+# forbidden env-var key NAME as a quoted literal in workspace_secrets
+# writer paths under workspace-server/internal/.
+#
+# This workflow catches a BROADER class: any code path that reads a
+# repo-host token (GITEA_TOKEN / GITHUB_TOKEN / GH_TOKEN) and then writes
+# it into a TENANT WORKSPACE's env, secret store, user-data, or
+# provision payload. This is the actual RFC#523 threat-model statement —
+# the goal is "no tenant workspace ever receives an operator-scope repo
+# token," not just "no _quoted_ literal `GITEA_TOKEN`." A future writer
+# could route the value via a variable, a struct field, or a config key
+# and slip past the existing literal scan; this lint catches those
+# routing patterns at PR review time.
+#
+# Scope
+#   Scans the WHOLE repo's Go sources (not just workspace-server/) for
+#   co-occurrences of:
+#     - a repo-host token NAME (GITEA_TOKEN / GITHUB_TOKEN / GH_TOKEN /
+#       GITEA_PAT / GITHUB_PAT) used as os.Getenv argument or string
+#       literal
+#     - within a file that ALSO references a tenant-writer surface
+#       (`tenant`, `workspace_secrets`, `global_secrets`, `seedAllowList`,
+#       `/settings/secrets`, `userData`, `provisionPayload`,
+#       `envVars[`, `containerEnv`).
+#
+#   Co-occurrence (not single-line) is the false-positive control: a
+#   file that just LOGS the variable name (e.g. "missing GITEA_TOKEN")
+#   without touching any tenant surface won't fire.
+#
+# Drift contract with lint-forbidden-env-keys.yml
+#   Both lints share the same FORBIDDEN_KEYS list (a subset — only the
+#   repo-host tokens, since this lint's threat model is "tenant gets
+#   write access to operator's git host"). If RFC#523's deny set grows,
+#   update BOTH this file AND lint-forbidden-env-keys.yml AND the Go
+#   source-of-truth in
+#   workspace-server/internal/handlers/workspace_provision_forbidden_env.go.
+#
+# Open-source-template-friendly
+#   The patterns scanned are generic (no MOLECULE_-prefix literals).
+#   A fork can copy this workflow as-is and adjust FORBIDDEN_KEYS.

+# Fail-closed lint that catches workflows touching docker.sock without
+# pinning `runs-on:` to a Linux-only label.
+#
+# Class defect (internal#512 + mc#1529 + today's oc#81/82/83 + autogen#8):
+# the `ubuntu-latest` label is advertised by BOTH the Linux operator-host
+# runners (molecule-runner-*) AND the Windows act_runner v1.0.3 on
+# hongming-pc-runner-*. Job placement is non-deterministic. When a docker-
+# bound job lands on a Windows runner, `docker run`/`docker login`/
+# `docker compose` fail with platform-specific errors ("protocol not
+# available", "cannot exec", etc.) — placement-dependent, not transient.
+#
+# This lint enforces the convention: any workflow whose YAML body
+# contains a docker exec (`docker run|build|buildx|compose|pull|push|
+# exec|tag|login|cp|inspect|ps` OR `docker/build-push-action|docker/
+# login-action|docker/setup-buildx`) MUST pin every job's `runs-on:` to
+# one of:
+#   - docker-host  (general docker.sock work — molecule-runner-*)
+#   - publish      (image build/push — molecule-runner-publish-*)
+#
+# Comments and heredoc/markdown bodies that merely MENTION docker are
+# excluded by the detection rule (see scan.py below).
+#
+# Per `feedback_never_skip_ci`: this is fail-closed (exit 1 on miss).

 # RFC#351 Step 2 of 6 (implementation MVP).
 #
-# === DESIGN ===
+# === CONSOLIDATION (issue #1280) ===
 #
-# 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.
+# This workflow is the SINGLE `issue_comment` subscriber — the logic from
+# `review-refire-comments.yml` has been merged in. Before this change:
+#   - sop-checklist.yml (pre-2026-05-16) → issue_comment:[created,edited,deleted] → runner slot used, job no-oped
+#   - review-refire-comments.yml           → issue_comment:[created]            → runner slot used, job no-oped
+#   → every non-refire comment occupied 2 runner slots for ~800 s each
+#      (~650 no-op runs/day, ~1,300 runner-slot-occupancy-hours/day).
 #
-# 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).
+# Fix (PR #1345 / issue #1280):
+#   - ONE workflow, ONE issue_comment:[created] subscription (no edited/deleted)
+#   - all-items-acked job: pull_request_target OR sop slash-command comments

-name: canary-verify

-# Runs the canary smoke suite against the staging canary tenant fleet
-# after a new :staging-<sha> image lands in ECR. On green, calls the
-# CP redeploy-fleet endpoint to promote :staging-<sha> → :latest so
-# the prod tenant fleet's 5-minute auto-updater picks up the verified
-# digest. On red, :latest stays on the prior known-good digest and
-# prod is untouched.
-#
-# Registry note (2026-05-10): This workflow previously used GHCR
-# (ghcr.io/molecule-ai/platform-tenant) — that registry was retired
-# during the 2026-05-06 Gitea suspension migration when publish-
-# workspace-server-image.yml switched to the operator's ECR org
-# (153263036946.dkr.ecr.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/molecule-ai/
-# platform-tenant). The GHCR → ECR migration was never applied to
-# 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-
-#     agnostic, works regardless of registry).
-#   - Promote step: calls CP redeploy-fleet endpoint with target_tag=
-#     staging-<sha>, same mechanism as redeploy-tenants-on-main.yml.
-#     No longer attempts GHCR crane ops.
-#
-# Dependencies:
-#   - publish-workspace-server-image.yml publishes :staging-<sha>
-#     to ECR on staging and main merges.
-#   - Canary tenants are configured to pull :staging-<sha> from ECR
-#     (TENANT_IMAGE env set to the ECR :staging-<sha> tag).
-#   - Repo secrets CANARY_TENANT_URLS / CANARY_ADMIN_TOKENS /
-#     CANARY_CP_SHARED_SECRET are populated.

-name: redeploy-tenants-on-main
-
-# Auto-refresh prod tenant EC2s after every main merge.
-#
-# 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
-#      period. Canary proves the image boots; batches follow.
-#   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 this workflow with a specific SHA pinned via
-# the workflow_dispatch input. That calls redeploy-fleet with
-# target_tag=<sha>, re-pulling the older image on every tenant.

-# 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.

+/**
+ * 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.
