Discovery issue — release-blocker

Systemic pattern: Multiple engineers independently pushing main→staging syncs that STACK and CONFLICT. ALL delete critical test files:

  • test_a2a_tools_identity.py (-390 lines)
  • canvas/e2e/chat-desktop.spec.ts, chat-mobile.spec.ts
  • canvas/e2e/fixtures/chat-seed.ts, echo-runtime.ts
  • .gitea/workflows/e2e-chat.yml

Affected: #1245 (core-devops), #1248 (core-uiux), #1249 (core-be), #1252 (core-uiux). All have core-qa REQUEST_CHANGES.

Root cause: No coordination on main→staging syncs. Each new sync overwrites and deletes files preserved by the previous one.

Required fix: Dev Lead or infra-sre to freeze concurrent syncs, designate ONE author for a single consolidated main→staging sync with manual conflict resolution preserving: identity MCP tools + tests, e2e Playwright chat suite, ChatTab WCAG refactor, Files API Phase 1 stub.

Related: #1233, #1235 (prior instances).
